The Impact of Virtual Physical Education on Physical Activity and the Reduction of Sedentary of Elementary Students in the Covid-19 Era
Authors: Bisgin Halil
Published: April 2022

Background and Aims: Preliminary evidence suggests that the social constraints needed to reduce the prevalence of COVID-19 have increased participation in sedentary behavior and reduced children's opportunities to participate in physical activity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was the effect of virtual physical education on physical activity and reduction of sedentary of elementary students in the Covid-19 era. Materials and Methods: A Semi-experimental design was conducted (pre-test and post-test) with two experimental and control groups. For this purpose, thirty 8 to 11 year old male students in Tabriz who had low scores in the Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-C) (1 to 2.33) and high scores in the Inactive Researcher's Questionnaire, were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (equal to 15 people in each group). Then, the experimental group underwent virtual physical education training for 10 sessions and two 45-minute sessions each week. No intervention was performed on the control group during this period. All subjects completed the Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-C) and the sedentary researcher-made questionnaire before and after the training. Univariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the level of physical activity and sedentary of elementary students in the experimental and control groups. The intensity of the effect is equal to 0.58 and 0.66, respectively. The amount of physical activity in the experimental group (m = 2.57) was significantly higher than the control group (m = 1.95). The rate of sedentary in the experimental group (m = 3.25) was significantly lower than the control group (m = 3.64). Conclusion: The results showed that virtual training of physical training (watching video models and teaching the basic concepts of physical activity) is effective in increasing physical activity and reducing sedentariness of 8 to 11 year old male students during COVID-19. Keywords: Virtual Physical Education, physical activity, sedentary, Students, COVID-19.

Authors: Abduljawad Eman A. , Mohammedsaleh Zuhair M.
Published: April 2022

Background: The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is one of the leading causes of peptic ulcers. There is a rising interest and demand for nontoxic, antiulcer remedies derived from medicinal plants to treat NSAID-induced gastric ulcers (GU). Aim: This study is a comparative assessment of the possible gastro-protective role of Emblica officinalis fruit pulp extract (EOFPE) and Omeprazole (Omepra) against Naproxin (Naprox)-induced GU. Methodology: Five groups of rats (8 rats each) represent control, Naprox, Omepra (20 mg/kg), EOFPE (700 mg/kg), and EOFPE + Omepra. Omepra and EOFPE were ingested orally for 17 days. Naprox was ingested orally on day 15 for three consecutive days. Results: Pretreatment with EOFPE and/or Omepra caused significant increases in gastric pH and gastric mucin content. Besides, significant decline in the total gastric acidity and gastric mucosal lesion relative to the Naprox group. Pretreatment with EOFPE and/or Omepra markedly improved the examined gastric pathologic features in Naprox-pretreated groups. Besides, EOFPE and/or Omepra overcome the gastric inflammation and oxidative stress markers induced by Naprox ingestion. Pretreatment with both EOFPE + Omepra leads to the best antiulcer impact and lesion inhibition percent relative to the Naprox groups pretreated with either EOFPE or Omepra alone. Conclusion: EOFPE protected against Naprox-induced GU across anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms. Keywords: Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, Emblica officinalis, Gastric ulcer.

The rise in the incidence of dengue in Pakistan has adversely affected the country’s developing economy and also its health planning. Dengue is an illness with profound social, economic, and health effects and costs to the Pakistani society. In many developing countries dengue outbreaks are a source of huge economic burden. Dengue has important economic consequences because of the burden to hospitals, work absenteeism and risk of death of symptomatic cases. The causal relationship between a physical illness and the psychological symptoms is a well-known phenomenon. A cross-sectional research was carried out in Faisalabad involving patients who were diagnosed to have dengue fever. Face to face interviews using interview schedule were carried out. 150 respondents were selected using simple random sampling from the sampling frame of the patients’ list. 36.7 % of the respondents were of the view that low income to adopt preventive measure was the major cause of dengue. 51.3 % of the patients felt psychological issues like depression, anxiety and post traumatic disorder. In bivariate analysis, a non-significant relationship was found between income and tendency of preventive measure which reflected that people from all income groups were prone to be affected. However, significant relationship between education and preventive measure was observed. The government should make a holistic approach to consider the social, economic and psychological effects of dengue upon the patients.

Authors: ÜNAL Hasan Emre
Published: April 2022

Turkey holds a significant place in the globe in terms of bee colonies and honey production because of the country's unique geographical and climate structure. Ordu province ranks first in Turkey for honey production. This study was carried out by interviewing 60 beekeepers from four different districts who were members of the Ordu province beekeeping cooperative to reveal their current beekeeping situation and to determine the factors affecting the adoption of beehives developed to increase honey production. Descriptive statistics and logistic models were used to analyze the data. One of the important findings of the study was that 93% of the beekeepers interviewed use traditional hives while using box hives at the same time. Traditional wooden hives were found to be used instead of box hives for reasons such as excessive humidity, a cold environment for bees, low production and, increased bee disease. Age groups of beekeepers had negatively influenced the adoption of the box hive. The education levels of the participants were primary and secondary education levels and their average age was calculated as 60.72. However, it was determined that 98.3% of the participating beekeepers received formal training in beekeeping. All participants emphasized that forests are very important for beekeeping. While all the participants stated that honey forests are also a useful and appropriate practice, 96.7% (n=58) stated that they were not adequately informed about honey forests. Therefore, the establishment of honey forests in order to rehabilitate the degraded forests and offer them to the forest villagers and rural people is important in terms of reducing the pressure on forests, protecting biodiversity and sustainable rural development.

Published: April 2022

Abstract : This study aims to design a rice field rental application in Tanjungsari Village, Jember Regency which is viewed from the Rural Economic Perspective. This review of the rural economic perspective is carried out by considering the calculation of the profits obtained between rice field owners and rice tenants in developing and cultivating agricultural land. The rice field rental system in force in this village mostly uses an annual payment system, although some use a profit-sharing system and are based on the harvest season. The annual system is widely chosen because its economic value is higher than other rental systems. This is because some crops can be harvested more than once a year as well as the possibility of easy monitoring for some rice field owners who are residents who come from outside the city and own agricultural land in the area, but cannot manage it well.

The process of renting rice fields in the village usually takes place conventionally by telephone, coming directly to the house of the rice field owner, or through the services of an intermediary. The making of a written agreement regarding the lease is sometimes ignored, only based on a verbal mutual agreement. To deal with these problems, we need a rice field rental application that is built on a web-based basis using the Waterfall method by focusing on comparing the benefits of a land rent with various rental systems. This Rice Field Rental Application has four main features, namely Registration of Lease Members and List of FarmLand that is ready to lease, Lease and Payment Transactions (Direct Lease or with Intermediary Services), Preparation and Verification of Rice Field Rental Agreements, and Preparation of Final Reports of Rice Field Rental. The results of Alpha testing using BlackBox testing show that all functionalities are running successfully according to the test scenario. While beta testing to users shows that 86.3% of users can accept this Rice Field Rental Application.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus transmitted by mosquitoes. Hematological abnormalities in the form of a decrease in the number of leukocytes which are influenced by the clinical degree due to stress on the bone marrow can occur in cases of DHF. The decrease or increase in the number of leukocytes was thought to be related to the clinical degree of DHF in previous studies. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the number of leukocytes and the clinical degree in patients with dengue infection. This study used an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 39 patients with dengue infection. The data on the results of the examination of the number of leukocytes and the clinical degree were obtained from medical record documents. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. 39 study subjects suffering from dengue infection consisting of clinical degrees I (30.8%), II (61.5%), and III (7.7%). The leukocyte count was between 4,000-10,000/µL (59%) and the leukocyte count <4,000/µL (41%). The mean number of leukocytes at clinical grade I was 4.183/µL, at clinical grade II was 4.754/µL and clinical-grade III was 6.100/µL. The results of statistical tests with the Spearman correlation test obtained the value of r = -0.121 and the value of p = 0.462 (p> 0.05). There was no significant relationship between the leukocyte count and the clinical degree of dengue infection. Future researchers are expected to increase the number of research samples so that they can get all clinical degrees of DHF.
