Authors: Ayyagari Likhitha , Sajjan M. C. Suresh , Bhupathi P Arun , Koruprolu Rama Laxmi , Alla Rama Krishna 
Published: January 2025

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially edentulous ()PED condition on lung function through spirometry tests and comparison of airflow rates between dentulous and PED subjects.
Settings and Design: The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of prosthodontics.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight dentulous and 28 PED patients with an age range of 25–50 years were included in the study. Patients with missing more than 3 posterior teeth were considered PED. All have undergone spirometric evaluation.
Statistical Analysis Used: Independent t-test was used.
Results: In all three spirometric measures (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1], and peak expiratory flow rate [PEFR]), the PED participants had significantly lower FVC, FEV1 (P = 0.0005), and PEFR (P = 0.032) airflow rates than dentulous participants, and males had higher airflow rates than females.
Conclusions: FVC, FEV1, and PEFR airflow rates were lower in PED individuals. The lower airflow rates could suggest the possible tendency to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Assessing War Crimes During Armed Conflicts: Insights from Ukraine and Global Standards
Authors: Popov Georgii , Puhach Anatolii , Shkolnikov Vladyslav , Baranovska Tetiana , Orobets Kostiantyn 
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Today, a new concept of understanding international criminal law as an independent branch establishing the substantive legal grounds for recognising a particular act as criminal is being developed. Such acts certainly include war crimes (criminal violations of the laws and customs of warfare). Meanwhile, there is an urgent need to develop a categorical concept of “war crime” in international criminal law, to determine the place of such crimes in the system of crimes against peace and security of mankind, and to resolve several theoretical problems of the substantive legal basis for establishing international criminal liability for war crimes. In addition, despite the constitutional provisions on the primacy of international law over domestic law, the issue of the degree of compliance of national criminal law with the provisions of international law in the area of regulation of liability for war crimes remains unresolved.

Objective: The study aims to find opportunities to develop effective mechanisms for classifying war crimes in the current war in Ukraine and to bring perpetrators to justice. The rules of international law are highly developed, primarily reflected in the availability of a broad and detailed list of acts recognised as international crimes. According to the amendments to the Rome Statute that added war crimes to the International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction, a state must confirm the ICC’s jurisdiction over aggression for its citizens to be tried for the crime.

Results: However, Russia has not done so. Due to this limitation, there are frequent calls for establishing a separate tribunal to prosecute Russian officials for aggression. However, implementing these calls still faces problems due to insufficient precedents. At the same time, the list of actions that can be considered violations of the laws and customs of war does not necessarily have to coincide with the list in Article 8 of the Rome Statute or the list of severe violations of international humanitarian law under the Geneva Convention or the First Additional Protocol.

Authors: Collins Sean , Abigail Poague  , Robert Huggins  , Thomas Bowman  
Published: January 2025

National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Division III athletes have restrictive rules on preseason practice timelines leading to questions about how performances are affected by environmental conditions during preseason practices.
Purpose: The purpose was to determine how heat, humidity, core body temperature, hydration status, and reported sleep affected the performances of women’s Division III soccer players during preseason training.
Methods: Ten female collegiate soccer players (age=19.5±1.43 years, mass=62.14±5.01 kg, height=167.78±7.65 cm) were recruited. Core temperature was collected every 10 minutes during practice via an ingestable thermistor. Before each training session, participants recorded the previous night's sleep quantity and quality via the Karolinska Sleep Diary (KSD). Internal and external loads were monitored via heart rate, training load session rate of perceived exertion (TL-sRPE), and Global Position System (GPS) metrics. WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) was continuously recorded throughout each training session as well as participant total fluid consumption.
Results: TL-RPE, Δbody mass (ΔBM), ΔWBGT and maximum HR (maxHR) explained approximately 53% of the variance in intensity (r=0.73, F4,82=23.506, P<.001). Whereas sleep metrics, session duration, and average heart rate had no significant (p>0.05) impact on intensity.
Conclusion: The changes in exercise intensity observed were most associated with the perceived training load, body mass loss, heat indices, and maximum heart rate. These variables should be controlled to elicit the desired training outcome while keeping player safety at the forefront during preseason soccer.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of intra-articular steroid injection vs ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block in managing frozen shoulder, with a focus on alleviating shoulder pain, disability, and range of motion.
Methodology: This comparative randomized clinical study was done at orthopedic department of Rawal Institute of Health Sciences, Islamabad between January and June 2024. Total 72 patients consecutively with frozen shoulder, age range was 18 years and above, of both genders, experiencing diffuse shoulder pain for ? 4 weeks, and with clinically confirmed frozen shoulder, were included. Patients were randomly and equally assigned to two groups (each, n = 36): Group-A received intra-articular steroid injections (IASI), while Group-B underwent suprascapular nerve block (SSNB). Data were gathered based on range of motion (ROM), and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) score.
Results: Patients average age was 56.6±5.8 years, and there were 38 (52.8%) males and 34 (47.2%) females. The means of ROM and SPADI score were comparable between the two group at baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks (p < 0.05). Similarly, mean disability index in Group B was significant low as compare to Group A (p < 0.05). External rotation mean at baseline was same between the groups. 1st, 4th, and 8th weeks post intervention, external rotation mean was significant high in Group B compared to Group A (p < 0.05). Similarly, abduction mean was significant high in Group B at 4th week and 8th week post-intervention (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: It is concluded that ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block is more effective than intra-articular steroid injections in managing frozen shoulder.

Authors: Lanyasunya Ropilo 
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the perception of the community, parents and learners on AABE. AABE was introduced by the Kenya Government, religious entities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with the aim of promoting access to basic education and enhancing Universal Primary Education for all (UPE). However, school enrolment and literacy levels in Samburu have been low, at (44%) and (12%) respectively, raising the need to examine the success of AABE in meeting the envisaged purpose. The study tested one hypotheses, namely, perception, in Samburu County. The study applied a survey research design and collected data from both primary and secondary sources. Three structured questionnaires were used for 400 learners’ household heads, and 56 teachers in charge of the 56 AABE Centres and 10 AABE providers. Secondary data were obtained from the Ministry of Education offices, AABE Centres, libraries and the internet. A stratified random sampling technique was used to sample the 400 respondents. Data was presented using frequency tabulations, chi-square, multiple regressions and correlation analyses. The findings showed that perception about AABE rated first as affecting viability of AABE in Samburu County with (92.5%) regarding it as inferior to formal education. Chi-square results showed a strong coefficient of 0.88 and with regression coefficient of -.64. It was the most highly correlated with a coefficient of+.8517. The respondents gave suggestions for enhancing AABE success and proposed that AABE system be done with or integrated with formal education (FE) by making FE more responsive to the needs of nomadic pastoralism.

Los rastrojos de cobertura en el sistema de labranza cero, beneficia el control de malas hierbas. Sin embargo, la influencia de los diferentes cultivos de cobertura en la composición y la diversidad de éstas en el cultivo del caupí es poco conocida. Este estudio investiga la fitosociología, los índices de diversidad y equidad, control, similitud y diversidad beta de las malas hierbas en el cultivo de caupí manejado sobre diferentes cultivos de cobertura. El experimento se llevó a cabo en diseño de bloques completamente al azar, en esquema de parcelas divididas, con cuatro repeticiones. Las parcelas estaban constituidas por rastrojos de plantas de cobertura: vegetación espontánea (T1), brachiaria (T2), mijo (T3), crotalaria (T4), frijol canavalia (T5), brachiaria+crotalaria (T6), brachiaria+frijol canavalia (T7), mijo+crotalaria (T8), mijo+frijol canavalia (T9), mucuna negra (T10). Las subparcelas estaban constituidas por los tratamientos de manejo con y sin deshierbe mecánico. Las especies Tridax procumbens, Digitaria horizontalis y Digitaria insularis fueron las especies más importantes en el estudio fitossociológico. Los tratamientos cambiaron el número de individuos y los índices de diversidad y equidad. En el manejo de malezas, la cobertura T6 y T8 mostró mayor diversidad, mientras que T9 mostró mayor equidad. Sin deshierbe, T2 y T6 tuvieron un menor número de individuos y mayor diversidad, pero T8 y T9 mostraron mayor equidad. Los cultivos de cobertura presentaron diferencias en la eficiencia de la supresión de malas hierbas en las áreas tratadas con deshierbe. Sin embargo, el cultivo de brachiaria se destacó como uno de los más eficientes para el control de estas malas hierbas. La similitud y diversidad beta de las malezas varió entre los tratamientos.
