Authors: Gosavi Prajakta Milind , Kolke Sona S. , Chitre Jay , Shyam Ashok , Sancheti Parag 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND:
Foot postures are integral to the biomechanical alignment and the dynamic function of the lower extremity. This study compared foot postures in people with primary medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA) and age-, gender-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls using various foot measures. Grade-wise variations were also assessed.

AIM:
The aim of the study was to assess the foot postures in people with primary medial compartment knee OA.

METHODS:
This was an observational, analytical study and the subjects were recruited by convenient sampling from tertiary hospitals in Pune. The target population were primary knee OA who were clinically and radiologically diagnosed for their severity based on the Kellgren–Lawrence grading, a severity classification based on radiographic evidence. The Centre of Rheumatic Diseases version of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Foot Function Index (FFI) which are both self-report questionnaires were duly filled by the knee OA subjects for the pain and dysfunction of the knee and foot, respectively. The control group consisted of age-, gender-, and BMI-matched asymptomatic healthy subjects. Foot postures of all subjects namely, the OA (n=48) and controls (n = 33) were assessed using the foot posture index (FPI), arch index, and navicular drop test. The FPI as well as the navicular drop test categorized the subjects into 3 groups: pronated, neutral, and supinated. The arch index was calculated from the inked imprint of the foot of the affected limb where higher values indicated dropped arch.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND RESULTS:
Independent samples Mann–Whitney U-test and unpaired t-test were used to investigate the differences between the two groups in the foot characteristics. The Spearman's rho was used to analyze the correlation of FPI with the grades of OA and of WOMAC with the FFI within the OA group. The study included 48 medial knee OA subjects (48 knees and the corresponding foot) and 33 age-, gender-, and BMI-matched healthy controls. The percentages of foot postures (neutral, pronated and highly pronated) of both groups were 71%, 25% and 4% respectively in the OA group and 92%, 2% and 6% respectively in the control group. Comparative study of foot postures between the two groups showed more pronated feet in the OA group (P < 0.001). Correlation of the FPI scores with the grades of OA showed no association (β = −0.005; P = 0.97) and between WOMAC and the FFI in the knee OA group showed weak association. (β = 0.0349; P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:
The foot postures were altered in the knee OA group as compared to healthy controls, with the OA group showing more pronated foot type.
Effect of an early administration of a structured exercise protocol on balance and gait in premenopausal women
Authors: Beena Ahamed Syed , James Tittu Thomas , Dhargave Pradnya 
Published: March 2024

CONTEXT:
Elderly population deals with many health problems, especially women, owing to menopause. A decline in balance leads to an increase in episodes of falls, increased fear of falls, along with an occurrence of a cautious gait pattern with reduced velocity and increased variability, which have also reported in women from 40 years of age and above.

AIMS:
The aim of this study was to identify the role of a structured exercise protocol in improving balance and gait parameters in premenopausal women.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN:
A single group quasi-experimental study was undertaken.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
Seventeen females between the age group of 30 and 45 participated in the study. We administered a predesigned supervised exercise protocol for 5 days a week, 60 min per session, and for a period of 1 year.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED:
Pre- and posttest measures on balance and gait were assessed and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test.

RESULTS:
The study identified an improvement in the balance performance of subjects in terms of a reduction in stability and sway parameters assessed using the Biodex Balance System. The temporal and spatial parameters of gait assessed using the GAITRite system also demonstrated significant improvement in postexercise sessions, with a net increase in velocity and cadence. All improvements in outcome parameters assessed were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:
The study signifies the importance of an early commitment toward a structured exercise protocol by premenopausal women in maintaining their balance and gait performance which may be altered with aging and menopause.
Gerakan Pembaruan dan Pemurnian Islam
Authors: Syafaat Abdul Rafi , Usman Muh. Ilham 
Published: March 2024

Abstrak
Secara artifisial gerakan pembaruan dan pemurnian Islam merupakan gerakan sosial keagamaan yang di latar belakangi oleh anggapan bahwa pengaruh hegemoni barat telah membuat ajaran islam telah menyimpang dari ajaran islam yang benar. Gerakan ini mengupayakan pencarian kemurnian terhadap ajaran islam yang sesuai dengan al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Gerakan ini mengimajinasikan islam akan kembali mendapatan masa keemasan seperti yang pernah terjadi di masa lalu pada zaman Rasulullah dan para sahabat yang dianggap sebagai islam yang ideal, murni, dan otentik. Terdapat dua tema besar dalam memahami bentuk dan tujuan dari gerakan ini dalam lanskap sosiologis: Pertama, Upaya pembaruan dan pemurnian ini memiiki akar Doktrinal sebagai bentuk gerakan sosial. Kedua, implikasi dari doktrin ini sering kali kali berhadapan atau bahkan bertentangan dengan persoalan budaya lokal, mordenitas. Gerakan ini juga sering kali dikaitkan dengan beberapa isu global seperti, Terorisme, Modernisasi, Islamic Local Knowledge, Gerakan Fundamentalisme-Radikal dan, Fasisme Sipil di era kontemporer ini.
Kata kunci : gerakan sosial, doktrinal, sosiologis, kontemporer.
Abstract
Artificially, the movement for reform and cleansing of Islam is a socio-religious movement motivated by the notion that the influence of western hegemony has made Islamic teachings deviate from true Islamic teachings. This movement strives to seek the purity of Islamic teachings in accordance with the Qur'an and Hadith. This movement imagines that Islam will return to its golden age as it did in the past during the time of the Prophet and his companions, who were considered ideal, pure, and authentic Muslims. There are two major themes in understanding the form and purpose of this movement in the sociological landscape: First, this renewal effort has doctrinal roots as a form of social movement. Second, the implications of this teaching are that it often confronts or even conflicts with local cultural issues (mordenitas. This movement is also often associated with several global issues such as Terrorism, Modernization, Islamic Local Knowledge, the radical-fundamentalist movement, and Civil Fascism in this contemporary era.

Chapter 5 The 1990s and 2000s: Alkaloid Total Synthesis
Authors: Overman Larry E. 
Published: March 2024

Marine sponges are the source of many structurally elaborate and biologically active natural products. Among the more remarkable are several families of complex guanidinium alkaloids, the first of which, ptilomycalin A, was described in 1989 by Yoel Kashman and colleagues at Tel Aviv University from chloroform extracts of two warm water sponges. This extraordinary structure, with its novel pentacyclic guanidine core tethered to a remote spermidine fragment, paired with its promising anti-cancer activity, immediately caught our attention. The tricyclic central portion of the guanidinium moiety of ptilomycalin A, a decahydro-5,6,6a-triazaacenaphthalene, is highlighted in red in Fig. 5.1. – 5.2. In 1991, Kenneth Reinhart and colleagues at the University of Illinois described four related guanidinium alkaloids, which were isolated from the sponge Crambe crambe during a 1988 Pharma Mar, S. A. expedition to the Western Mediterranean. In these alkaloids, of which crambescidin 800 is representative, the diamine fragment is hydroxyspermidine. Both groups reported promising antiviral and antitumor activity for these structurally novel guanidinium alkaloids; however, all of these alkaloids had been isolated in only trace amounts form the sponge source.

Chapter 6 Fragment Coupling with Tertiary-Carbon Radicals
Authors: Overman Larry E. 
Published: March 2024

The remarkable efficiency of fragment-coupling reactions of tertiary-­carbon radicals was the last significant discovery made in my research career. Our involvement in this project originated in an unusual fashion, a reception for new UCI faculty in September 2005, the year that Christopher (Chris) Vanderwal — with whom I now share an office complex and previously research laboratories — and Christine Sütterlin, a new UCI faculty member in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, began their independent research careers. At this reception, Christine mentioned to Chris the marine natural product macfarlandin E, which she had identified as exhibiting unique effects on the Golgi apparatus. Christine made this discovery when screening a portion of John Faulkner’s collection of marine natural products during the last stages of her postdoctoral studies with cell biologist Vivek Malhotra at UC San Diego.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of vaginal progesterone versus oral nifedipine in the treatment of threatened preterm labor (TPL).
Methodology: This randomized control trial was carried out at Gynae and OBS department of Ibn-E-Siena Hospital, Multan, during a period of six months from December 2020 to June 2021. Participants were randomly allocated to either the vaginal progesterone group or the oral nifedipine group using computer-generated randomization. In Group A, participants received oral nifedipine at a dose of 20mg every 30 minutes for three initial doses, followed by long-acting nifedipine SR 20mg every 12 hours until reaching 37 weeks of gestational age or until cervical dilation exceeded 4cm. In Group B, participants were instructed to use vaginal micronized progesterone tablets at a dosage of 200mg once daily until reaching 37 weeks of gestational age or until cervical dilation exceeded 4cm. Effectiveness, refers to the ability of each treatment option to successfully prolong pregnancy duration in cases of threatened preterm labor.
Results: The mean age of the subjects was 29.6 years, with a standard deviation of 5.44 years. Mean gestational age was 33.32 weeks. In Group A, oral nifedipine showed effectiveness in (73.0%) of the cases. Conversely, Group B, which received vaginal progesterone, exhibited significantly higher efficacy rates, among 57 (90.5%) of the patients (p-value of 0.011). Effectiveness among two treatment modalities was found to be statistically insignificant according to age and parity of the women (p=>0.05).
Conclusion: Study revealed a significant difference in efficacy between the two treatment modalities. Specifically, vaginal progesterone demonstrates superior efficacy compared to oral nifedipine, which underscores the potential advantages of vaginal progesterone in managing threatened preterm labor.

Masjid dalam kehidupan masyarakat memiliki fungsi yang signifikan, tidak hanya sebagai tempat ibadah dan tempat dakwah tetapi juga sebagai wadah perkembangan umat Islam yang meliputi aspek sosial kemasyarakatan, ekonomi, budaya, dan sebagainya. Agar tugas-tugas pengelolaan masjid berjalan dengan baik, serta amanah dan bertanggung jawab, maka disusunlah kepengurusan Badan Kemakmuran Masjid berdasarkan Anggaran Dasar dan Anggaran Rumah Tangga yang secara langsung akan menjadi pijakan dan landasan hukum bagi pengurus Badan Kemakmuran Masjid dalam melaksanakan tugas-tugas pengelolaan masjid secara menyeluruh, termasuk pelayanan dan kesejahteraan. Badan Kemakmuran Masjid berfungsi sebagai salah satu lembaga yang membina dan membentuk masyarakat khususnya remaja di lingkungan masjid itu berada, agar mempunyai sikap keagamaan yang tinggi dan memiliki akhlak yang baik. Selain itu keterampilan keagamaan juga dianggap penting guna mempersipakan generasi muda Islam yang mumpuni dan teruji, salah satunya keterampilan Khutbah Jum’at. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa peran BKM sebagai fasilitator pembinaan remaja sangat membantu orang tua dan tokoh masyarakat dalam mengawasi dan mengarahkan serta membina aktivitas para remaja. Namun demikian, dari kalangan remaja kurang menanggapi program-program pembinaan yang dilaksanakan oleh pihak BKM, hal ini terlihat dari kurangnya kemauan remaja mengikuti bimbingan keagamaan yang dilakukan oleh tokoh agama setempat seperti pelatihan dan pembinaan khatib jum'at yang diselenggarakan oleh pengurus Badan Kemakmuran Masjid, hal ini berdampak pada kurang efektifnya program-program pembinaan yang dilaksanakan oleh Badan Kemakmuran Masjid.

The subjects in Class Action Research VIII are students of class VIII MTs N 1 Langkat with a total of 32 students. the instruments in this researcher are observation sheets and tests in accordance with the research procedures by observing cycle I and cycle II. Student learning outcomes in Akidah Akhlak subjects before using the Bambo Dancing model are still relatively low or below the KKM standard. This can be seen from the students' scores, namely out of 32 only 13 students 40.62% who obtained a score ? 75 or who met the KKM score. Whereas in this study it can be declared classically complete if the completeness of student learning outcomes reaches 85%.The application of the Bambo Dancing learning model can be implemented well through two cycles. This can be seen through the activities carried out by teachers and students in cycle I and cycle II have increased. The results of teacher observations in cycle I were 72.5 then became 89.28 (good) in cycle II. Likewise, the observation of student activities which initially in cycle I reached a score of 72.5 then increased to 87.5 in cycle II. After the application of the Bambo Dancing learning model, student learning outcomes have increased, this can be seen from the results of the pre-cycle learning test which only reached an average score of 66.71 (less) and increased in cycle I to 72.96% (sufficient) and in cycle II increased again to 85.31% (good). The improvement in learning outcomes can also be seen in the increase in the percentage of student completeness, namely in the pre-cycle only 40.62% while in cycle I it reached 65.62% and in cycle II it was 87.5%. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of the Bambo Dancing model can improve student learning outcomes.
