La huella plantar y la postura corporal son variables importantes por considerar en el desarrollo físico y motriz en poblaciones escolares, por lo que se planteó el objetivo de analizar la relación entre la huella plantar y la postura corporal en estudiantes de educación física en edades escolares. El número de participantes fue de 33 escolares subdivididos en 2 grupos: niñas (42,5%) y niños (57,5%). Para la evaluación postural fue utilizado el método Portland State University (PSU) y para la huella plantar el Índice de Hernández Corvo (IHC). Los principales hallazgos fueron el 10% de la población posee pie plano, se encontró diferencias significativas en cuanto a la postura donde el género femenino tuvieron mayores valores, acercándose al valor ideal 85%. Se encontró una correlación moderada significativa (r=0,46; p≤0,05) entre el IMC y la cintura escapular. En conclusión, no hubo correlaciones significativas entre el método PSU y el IHC, posiblemente a la subjetividad del método PSU. El estudio soporta y aconseja la práctica de actividad física como factor importante en la prevención del pie plano y desvíos posturales.

Abstract. The footprint and body posture are important variables to consider in the physical and motor development of school populations, so the objective was to analyze the relationship between footprint and body posture in physical education students of school age. The number of participants was 33 students divided into 2 groups: girls (42.5%) and boys (57.5%). The Portland State University (PSU) method was used for postural evaluation, and the Hernandez Corvo Index (HCI) was used for the footprint. The main findings were that 10% of the population had flat feet, significant differences were found in terms of posture where females had higher values, approaching the ideal value of 85%. A significant moderate correlation (r=0.46; p≤0.05) was found between BMI and shoulder girdle. In conclusion, there were no significant correlations between the PSU method and the HCI, possibly due to the subjectivity of the PSU method. The study supports and advises the practice of physical activity as an important factor in the prevention of flat feet and postural deviations.

Body percussion and traditional dances. The case of Ball dels Moretons in Mallorca
Authors: Di Russo Salvatore , Romero-Naranjo Francisco Javier
Published: June 2023

The aim of this article is to propose the dance "Ball dels moretons" as a pedagogical resource within the corporal expression in the sciences of physical activity and sport, as well as in the subject of music, due to its psychomotor and choreographic richness. This traditional dance from Mallorca, which uses body percussion as a form of cultural expression, has very rich resources to work on motor coordination and dissociation, using exclusively small wooden plates called "els macetes". This research provides a historical and bibliographical state of the art on the origin and development of this dance. For this purpose, fieldwork has been carried out in Mallorca and its main representatives have been interviewed in order to understand its evolution, its learning strategies and its choreographic characteristics for its implementation in the classroom. In the fieldwork carried out in Manacor and the interviews conducted confirm that the learning of body percussion is done by singing and not with pre-recorded music that is listened to. This article can serve as a resource perfectly linkable with other dances in the world that use body percussion such as Esku Dantza, Flamenco in Spain, Schuplattler in Austria, Verbunk in Hungary, Haka in New Zealand, Gumboots in South Africa, and Juba and Hambone in the United States. For all these reasons, the subject "Body Percussion" is suggested as an optional subject to be implemented within the university studies as it already happens at the University of Alicante in the Master of Teaching because there is abundant academic bibliography as well as practical resources.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The present paper studies the profitability dynamics of systemic Greek banks. By deploying an econometric methodology based on multiple linear regression analysis, we empirically investigate the drivers of banks’ return on assets between 2008 and 2020. We also shed light on the first effects of Covid-19 on banks. Examining the effects various macroeconomic, regulatory and financial factors, we find that public debt developments, including Greek debt restructuring, and banks’ provisions for credit losses had a negative effect on banks profitability. Besides, we testify that banks' capital adequacy and the size of liabilities of financial institutions towards their customers strengthened chances of increased bank profitability. We discuss the implications of our empirical findings in light of macroeconomic, regulatory and financial developments in Greece and the EU.

Published: June 2023

The primary aim of Power System is to provide uninterrupted power supply to consumers but the performance of Power System is frequently affected by Power Distribution System faults. In order to maintain the continuity of supply and to improve the efficiency of Power System the Power Distribution System fault should be rapidly diagnosed and treated accurately. This paper describes the development of Wavelet-Artificial Neural Network method for classification of Faults in Power Distribution System with Distributed Generation. The disturbances characterized are events from an IEEE 14 bus test system with Distributed Generation. The main purpose of the algorithm is to classify the unsymmetrical faults, single-line-to-ground fault (LG), double line fault (LL) and double line to ground fault (LLG). Along with this some other parameters are also discussed in this work like impact of DG on voltage regulation, impact of DG on harmonics, impact of DG on losses and the impact on short circuit level of the network
On the Types and Properties of Term Abbreviations from the Perspective of Word Formation-focused on Term Abbreviations in Urimalsaem
Authors:   Morphology, Choi Hyung-Yong
Published: June 2023

This paper aims at revealing the types and properties of term abbreviations in Urimalsaem. Until now, abbreviations have been discussed only in the basic types such as AC, AD, BC, and BD. However, even when targeting term abbreviations for Urimalsaem, the types are not so simple. In this respect, in order to categorize 794 term abbreviations of Urimalsaem, in addition to the ‘basic type’, ‘extended type’ and ‘applied type’ were assumed. In addition, the ‘complex type’ which is combined with the basic type and the extended type was considered as a separate type, and those that did not belong to any type were grouped into ‘other type’. Through this classification, except for ‘other type’, they were subdivided into 11 extended types, 14 applied types, and 1 complex types in addition to 4 basic types. This results clearly show that the term abbreviation types are very complicated themselves. These abbreviation types have a very high sum of the proportions of the extended, applied, and complex types, although the proportion of the overall basic types is over half at 53.4%. In the case of the AD type, the ratio of the extended type (15.74%) is more than twice as high as that of the basic type (16.30%). On the other hand, compared to the ratio of AC and AD types, BC and BD types are not very productive in abbreviation methods because the sum is only 5.66% of them. When it comes to the abbreviation type, it can also be seen that the number of syllables plays a very important role in the formation of abbreviations. On the other hand, as the structural characteristics of the abbreviation, AC and AD types with the highest type frequency and item frequency were mentioned. The relationship between acronyms for AC type and blended words for AD type was also noted. In addition, among the term abbreviations, some elements appear repeatedly and continuously as former or latter position. Some of them are affixes, but others are not. Therefore, they can be separately called ‘abbreviators’. It is worth noting that these abbreviators make us predict the type of term abbreviations not just in current but also in future.
Fluorescence-based thermal stability screening is concentration-dependent and varies with protein size
Authors: YAVŞAN Elif , KALYONCU UZUNLAR Sibel
Published: June 2023

Proteins are used in many areas including diagnostic and therapeutical applications. Screening protein stability is an essential step for production, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies, and determination of storage conditions. Instability of proteins can cause serious problems such as activity loss and unexpected adverse effects, so determination of sensitive and reliable methods for protein stability measurement is crucial. There are several “gold-standard” protein stability tests such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), but they are usually not suitable for high-throughput settings and consume large amounts of proteins. Instead, more high-throughput methods such as fluorescent-based assays can be used and validated to make stability screening process more straight-forward, easier, and lower-cost. Here, two methods were systemically compared to see whether their measurements depended on protein sizes. DSC and Sypro Orange dye-based fluorescent assay were compared for various proteins with different sizes and quaternary structures. This is the first systemic comparison of these two methods for thermal stability testing for different ranges of proteins in the literature. It was shown that protein melting temperature (Tm) measured by fluorescent assay highly depends on protein concentration and protein size. Larger proteins with multi-domain structures such as monoclonal antibodies gave more deviated and lower than expected Tms compared to small proteins. It has been concluded that fluorescent-based thermal stability assays are more suitable for smaller proteins, but protein concentrations used are still needed to be optimized in their settings for more reliable results.

Authors: BOYRAZ Cihat
Published: June 2023

The effect of the Ti element on the incommensurately layered thermoelectric oxide material Ca3Co4O9 is investigated. This study compares the structural, morphological, thermoelectric, and magnetic properties of Ca3(Co3.7Ti0.3)O9 composition to the pristine Ca3Co4O9. No significant enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient compared to Ca3Co4O9 is observed in the Ti-doped sample. The magnetic properties of the pristine and Ti-doped Ca3Co4O9 are detailed, and the possible correlations between pristine and Ti-doped Ca3Co4O9 are established. In M-H measurements, the effect of Ti in low temperatures revealed a magnetic phase transition due to two sublattices exhibiting wavy behavior. For each sample, magnetic inhomogeneity in the long-range ferromagnetic ordering, which is clear almost before 19 K, is observed through FC and ZFC curves. The findings on the physical properties of both samples are discussed, considering the previously published results.

Published: June 2023

This study examines the water-energy-food nexus for environmental sustainability using panel data of developing economies from 1995-2017. Food index has been constructed using principle component analysis (PCA). Two-step difference generalized method of moment has been employed to estimate four models for assessment of the nexus in 77 developing economies from 1995-2017.  Results indicate that the water, energy and food are closely related to each other as one sector affects the productivity of the remaining two sectors. Energy use and food index have strong positive effects on water productivity in developing economies. The environmental degradation of developing economies analyzed through the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis confirms the inverted U-shaped relationship between environmental pollution and economic growth for developing economies. Study suggests that an integrated policy is required for the management of energy, water and food resources to avoid the water scarcity and food insecurity in the developing world.

CAN FOREIGN INVESTMENT CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPMENT IN PAKISTAN? AN ANALYSIS OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE FROM PAKISTAN'S VIEWPOINT
Authors: Dr. Sadaf Mustafa, Sadia Malik
Published: June 2023

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is widely acknowledged as a crucial catalyst for economic development, especially in emerging economies such as Pakistan. Its significance lies in the fact that it can introduce vital funds, fresh technologies, and know how to domestic markets. These advantages can stimulate progress and generate novel prospects for enterprises and individuals alike. Over the past few years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the significance of FDI in promoting economic growth. Global leaders are now more inclined to lure foreign investments to enhance their economies and raise the standard of living of their people. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has played a critical role in driving Pakistan's economic progress and development. The State Bank of Pakistan reports that FDI inflows saw a significant increase of 137% in the fiscal year 2020-21, amounting to $2.78 billion, demonstrating the country's concerted efforts to attract foreign investment in key sectors like energy, telecommunications, and construction. Our study aims to provide empirical evidence of the relationship between FDI and economic growth in Pakistan. We analyzed data spanning two decades, from 1996 to 2022, and examined the impact of FDI on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), while also considering various other factors such as political stability, terrorism, and trade openness. 

Our findings indicate a favorable influence of FDI on economic growth in Pakistan, particularly when coupled with liberalized trade policies. We observed a strong positive correlation between FDI inflows and GDP growth, indicating that foreign investment can serve as a potent driver for economic development. However, our analysis underscores the significance of other factors in augmenting economic growth in Pakistan. For instance, political stability emerges as a pivotal factor affecting FDI inflows and can be instrumental in attracting foreign investment. Similarly, the implementation of effective measures to combat terrorism can establish a secure and stable environment for businesses, thus fostering economic growth. In conclusion, our research provides empirical evidence of the positive impact of FDI on economic growth in Pakistan. However, it also underscores the importance of creating a supportive environment for foreign investment, including open trade policies, political stability, and effective measures to combat terrorism. By doing so, Pakistan can continue to attract foreign investment and accelerate its economic development

Authors: Dr Muhammad Riaz, Dr Shahzad Ali, Dr. Noman Ahmed Ansari
Published: June 2023

This article aimed to conduct a systematic analysis of how private Pakistani TV comedy shows are framing politicians and to investigate the Islamic perspective on the use of humor in political discourse, in order to shed light on the ethical and moral implications of such portrayals. A survey of 774 respondents was administered in Islamabad city by utilizing the probability sampling method. The results showed that education, literacy, awareness, and television viewing play a vital role in the formation of perception and public opinion. Highly educated people think very differently from less educated people and this is evident from their answers. At the same time, it is interesting to note that there is a clear difference in the thinking of those who watch less television and those who spend more time in front of the television. As we have seen in the light of the Qur'an and Hadith, it is not permissible to mimic or ridicules anyone, and the findings of this research paper have also proved this.

Published: June 2023

A company's culture is an integral aspect of this process since it influences the behaviour and performance of individuals and teams within the organization. Due to the challenges inherent in multi-cultural communication, the role of an organization's culture takes on added relevance in the context of global trade. This study looks at the ways in which cultural differences impact the ways in which businesses engage with one another across national boundaries, specifically focusing on the impact that these differences have on communication, negotiation, and dispute resolution. In order to identify the most important aspects of organisational culture, a thorough literature analysis was conducted to examine the available research on the link between organisational culture and international business interactions. This review was also conducted to look at the prior studies done on the subject which indicates that the cultural differences can lead to communication difficulties, misunderstandings, and even confrontations in international business relationships, and that organisational culture affects the actions and decisions of businessmen, domestically and globally. In addition, the essay concludes with several suggestions for further research and some practical implications for world trade relations.
