Authors:   Fox Rehabilitation, Jersey City, USA, Chaughule Shivangi
Published: January 2025

Muscle injuries are common across all age groups and activity levels, affecting movement, posture, and overall quality of life. This article explores the physiology
of muscle fibers, mechanisms of muscle contraction, and the principles of muscle adaptation, including hypertrophy, atrophy, and neuromuscular plasticity.
The phases of muscle injury repair—inflammation, regeneration, and remodeling—are discussed in detail, along with the various types of muscle injuries
such as strains, contusions, cramps, and ruptures. We examine the root causes of muscle injuries, including overuse, trauma, and physiological imbalances.
Additionally, the role of modern physical therapy techniques and advancements in rehabilitation technology are highlighted as essential components in
optimizing muscle healing and recovery. Understanding these concepts is crucial for clinicians, physical therapists, and fitness professionals to develop
targeted interventions that facilitate efficient recovery and prevent reinjury.

Authors: Chuanwei Rong , Mohd Ramli Nor Fazlin , Sharif Sarinah
Published: January 2025

Translation of culturally rich and semantically dense Chinese four-character words into English has unique challenges in the globalization era. This paper discusses the strategies adopted in the translation of Respecting and Protecting the Rights of All Ethnic Groups in Xinjiang, with special attention to Domestication and Foreignization strategies as framed by Lawrence Venuti. The qualitative analysis yields that an approach of Domestication strengthens understand ability at the cost of risky cultural losses and that Foreignization retains local peculiarities but may undermine proper comprehensiveness. To guarantee understanding and preservation, especially transnationals a balance between two strategies is important. It uses translation analysis of the four-character word translations in the white paper by classifying them into Domestication and Foreignization approaches and determining their effectiveness with respect to readability, cultural fidelity, and feedback from readers. The findings highlight how the respective strategy would be apt for both audience and text type. Domestication increases comprehension and may risk a loss of cultural depth, while Foreignization retains most of the cultural essence of the original through an increase in cognitive load. Both strategies may meet in a quality translation sensitive to cultural shades but acceptable to a wide audience. The present study contributes to the development of optimum translation practices within high-culture texts and delineates a series of topics that can become the object of research, including the use of technological tools to support the so-called balanced translation.

Published: January 2025

Kajian ini menyelusuri cabaran kognitif penyelesaian masalah Geometri Koordinat dalam kalangan murid tingkatan empat. Kajian mendapati kelemahan murid dari aspek konseptual, prosedural dan visualisasi berada pada tahap yang membimbangkan. Melalui analisis kuantitatif dan kualitatif yang komprehensif, kajian ini telah dapat mengenal pasti tiga punca utama yang berkaitan iaitu kelemahan konsep asas (Algebra,Geometri dan Geometri Koordinat), kesukaran menginterprestasi maklumat matematik (berbentuk perkataan dan gambar rajah) ke konteks praktikal dan kesukaran menghubung kait serta memilih rumus yang tepat. Dapatan dari analisis statistik deskriptif menunjukkan bahawa 46.9% murid gagal menjawab soalan penyelesaian masalah berbanding hanya 11.8% murid yang mampu menjawab soalan dengan betul. Selebihnya (41.3%) melakukan pelbagai jenis kesilapan seperti melakukan kesilapan transformasi (6.8%), kesilapan proses (3.7%) dan kesilapan pengekodan (1.2%). Ia menunjukkan tahap penguasaan yang sangat lemah dalam kalangan murid. Justru, kajian ini mencadangkan pendekatan strategi yang mengintegrasikan elemen stimulasi visual dan lisan (SVSL) sebagai perancah dalam prosedur Newman. Stimulasi visual (visual statik dan visual dinamik) akan membantu murid dalam memvisualisasikan konsep-konsep abstrak menjadi lebih konkrit dan stimulasi lisan (penerangan teratur, panduan langkah demi langkah, perbincangan aktif) menyediakan sokongan berstruktur. Strategi ini perlu dilaksanakan secara sistematik dan berterusan untuk meningkatkan keupayaan murid dalam penyelesaian masalah Geometri Koordinat.

Sarong Aldaw: Retelling Intersections of Agriculture and Its Socio-economic Facets towards Education for Sustainability
Authors: Castor Richard G. , Cid Rosa U. , Encinares Mariss G. , Arante Bella P.
Published: January 2025

The retelling of oral narratives provides a powerful lens through which to examine the intricate interplay between agriculture and its socio-economic facets. This research paper attempts to provide additional empirical evidence from qualitative inquiry and process and ask, what is the retelling process of oral narratives on the intersections of culture, traditions and agriculture especially along the socio-economic facets in Calabanga, Camarines Sur, Philippines? After exploring the retelling process situated in the context of Calabanga, the researchers examined the possibility of transforming the literary piece from text to theater. Combining document review of previously written research, observation of the actual process of bulungan and interviews with randomly identified practitioners of bulungan, we set out to answer the following research questions: (1) How bulungan as a cultural practice could be transformed into a script as a retelling of an oral narrative? (2) What is the plot structure of the script and how does it relate to the oral narrative from which it was derived? (3) How does the script create and develop its characters, and what role do these characters play in the overall narrative? (4) What is the relationship between the script’s structure and the cultural context in which it was produced? (5) What are the implications of the script’s structure for broader debates on sustainability of culture? The study’s findings on the traditional business practice of “bulungan” in Calabanga can have significant implications for the town’s agriculture and socio-economic facets. The documentation and preservation of this tradition through the script “Sarong Aldaw” can serve as a means to promote and sustain local businesses and livelihoods, particularly among fishermen and fish vendors in San Miguel Bay. By uncovering the stories within agricultural traditions, practices, and interactions, retelling oral narratives deepens our understanding of the complex relationships between agriculture and socio-economic aspects and its ensuing benefits towards education for heritage management. Researchers recommend further investigation on the role of traditions and culture in shaping oral narratives on the agricultural sector. As the agricultural landscape evolves and communities adapt to new challenges, these narratives remain vital tools in preserving heritage, guiding policies, and fostering sustainable development.

Published: January 2025

Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruit in many countries and among millions of people in the world. Mango is an emerging tropical fruit produced in over 90 countries worldwide. Mango production stands at 180-200 pieces per tree against a potential of 500 pieces per tree, necessitating a high demand. This study sought to examine the factors influencing mangos’ performance and productivity in the dry lands of Makueni County, Kenya. Across-sectional descriptive research was used and case study of two farms in extreme parts of the county was also deployed. A total of 382 farmers were selected for the study using simple random sampling methods. Purposive sampling was used to get sub-county, ward officers, chiefs, sub-chiefs, elites and village elders for Key Informant Interviews. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, percentages and modes, regression. Qualitative data was analyzed by creating themes and patterns and then validating the usefulness of the information obtained. The study found that mango was one the major source of livelihoods in Makueni County necessitating increase in acreage under mango cultivation. Findings unearthed, the acreage increased from 46,364 ha to 65,453ha between 2015 and 2021. Overally, mango production and performance were found to be increasing. Introduction of commercial mango varieties which are highly yielding. The varieties which include Tommy Atkins, Kent, Van dyke, Haden and Apple have been widely adopted by farmers and this has led to increase in production levels in Makueni county. Production increased by 29.13% between 2010 and 2021 yearly. However, there were seven major constraints that posed great challenge to the agrarian farmers. Climate change, drought, access to market, land ownership, access to capital, access to technology, pests and diseases and mango species were found to be major constraints affecting mango cultivation. The study found out that the increase in mango productivity and performance was due to majorly an increase in acreage but not really due to good agronomic practices. Therefore, it is recommended that multi agency efforts are highly required to curb the impact of Climate change, drought, access to market by incorporating appropriate post-harvest technologies such as storage, transport of mangoes to ensure production doesn’t decline. Post –harvest behaviors of different cultivars of mango on their shelf life should be explored to improve performance and productivity of mango.

Elements of responsibility has implications upon human responsibility. The implications was mentioned by Islamic and Western scholars, particularly Muslim scholars who relied on al-Quran and al-Sunnah. Thus, this paper’s first objective is a discussion on justification of responsibility that can be ascribe to four elements namely knowledge, will, ability and actions. The second objective is to examine Islamic scholars’ interpretation of divine scripture on these elements. The third objective is to highlight principles of responsibility based on scholars’ interpretation. Inductive method is used to understand scholars’ views on the elements. Deductive method is also used to generalize views on elements of responsibility and identify Islamic principles. This study is substantiated with Islamic scripture which clearly states in general and in detail on responsibilities and its elements. Element of knowledge is taken seriously and considered the most important because Islamic scripture becomes a fundamental source of responsibility. Besides, existence of will and ability are considered accountable, if will and ability are strong and capable enough to make decision. Furthermore, action is eminent as being a direct responsibility as it is also considered as physical responsibility.

Authors: Hussein Ali Shukri , Fredrick Ogilo
Published: January 2025

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of financial planning on the financial performance of parastatals in Mombasa County, Kenya. Specifically, the study focused on key financial planning components, including resource allocation, financial risk management, budgeting, and investment efficiency, and how these factors influenced financial performance, measured through Return on Assets (ROA). Data for the study was collected using secondary data from 16 parastatals operating in Mombasa County, covering a period of 10 years (2013-2022). The population included all the key parastatals in the county, making it a comprehensive analysis of public sector financial planning and performance. The research employed both descriptive statistics and a regression model to analyze the relationship between the financial planning variables and financial performance. The descriptive analysis revealed significant variability in resource allocation, financial risk management, budgeting, and investment efficiency across the parastatals. Regression analysis indicated that resource allocation was the only variable with a statistically significant effects on financial performance, though the relationship was negative. This suggested that inefficiencies in the use of allocated resources may hinder financial growth. Other variables, such as financial risk management, budgeting, and investment efficiency, did not show statistically significant effects on financial performance, implying that these practices might not be effectively contributing to organizational success. The study concluded that financial planning, particularly resource allocation, plays a crucial role in determining the financial performance of parastatals. However, the negative impact of resource allocation suggests that there are inefficiencies in how funds are being managed and allocated within these organizations. Based on the findings, the study recommended that parastatal managers prioritize improving resource allocation efficiency, strengthening financial risk management practices, enhancing budget execution, and improving investment efficiency to boost financial performance. Additionally, policymakers were urged to develop guidelines that promote better financial management and accountability in public organizations. Future research should expand the scope to include more variables and a larger sample size, providing deeper insights into how financial planning can drive better financial outcomes for public sector organizations.

Growing Rape Crisis in Nigeria; Empowering Girls by Addressing the Topic of Rape in Secondary Schools
Authors: Babalola Odunayo Omolola
Published: January 2025

Rape remains a significant issue worldwide, often obscured by pervasive myths and misconceptions that impede a clear understanding of its gravity. These myths frequently depict survivors as somehow deserving their fate, perpetuating victim-blaming attitudes that hinder justice and support. The prevalence of such myths, deeply entrenched in cultural norms and beliefs, contributes to a climate where survivors may not even recognize their victimization, and perpetrators may not comprehend the severity of their actions. This article delves into the impact of rape myths on victim blaming and the reporting of rape cases in Nigeria, where survivors often face numerous barriers to seeking justice. Drawing on research findings, it highlights the complex interplay of societal attitudes, fear of stigma, and pressure from communities and families that lead many survivors to withdraw their cases informally. Additionally, it underscores the crucial role of educating secondary school girls in Nigeria and globally as a proactive measure to empower them with the knowledge and resources necessary to recognize, prevent, and report instances of sexual violence. Understanding these dynamics and promoting education initiatives is essential for fostering a culture of support and accountability for survivors while challenging harmful beliefs and attitudes surrounding rape.

Data collection was assisted by using a closed questionnaire with four Likert scales, which had been tested for validity and reliability. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze data through path analysis and bootstrap methods. This research proves the importance of green intention in playing a crucial role as a determinant of green work readiness in vocational education students. This research also provides an essential insight that green competencies and learning supports play a significant role in growing green intention and determining green work readiness. These results provide an essential signal especially for vocational education agencies to balance the power of competencies and learning supports to stimulate the growth of green work readiness. The synergy between various stakeholders and socio-cultural communities is an important key that must continue to be pursued

This study presents an updated fish checklist of the Sultan Idris Shah Forestry Education Centre (SISFEC), Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia. Fish samples were collected using gill nets, cast nets, scoop nets, baited lines, and electrofishers at eight sites within SISFEC, including Rasau River, Bohol River, and several lentic water bodies. There are 29 fish species, representing 13 families of freshwater fish, with the family Danionidae (six species) dominating the list. Of the 29 species recorded, six were non-native, including Oreochromis niloticus, Barbonymus gonionotus, Puntigrus tetrazona, Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus, Oreochromis sp. (red), and Poecilia reticulata. In addition to the non-native species recorded, the Australian red claw crayfish, a non-native invasive invertebrate, was also encountered. Despite the increase in recorded native species compared to past reports, potential threats from invasive species remain a concern. Regular monitoring and strict regulation are recommended to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of SISFEC’s aquatic biodiversity.
