Authors: Pérez Samaniego Betsabé 
Published: January 2024

El aumento del promedio de vida y el envejecimiento de la población global, obliga a las economías emergentes a tomar medidas de urgencia para lo que es ya una realidad compleja altamente costosa. Ante esto, México desde la década de los ochenta comenzó haciendo cambios en su legislación que paulatinamente se han concretado visibilizando los requerimientos de la población de 60 años y más, creado instituciones sociales y educativas especializadas para este sector de la población.
El gobierno Mexiquense ha replicado muchas de las acciones federales y durante la Gestión del Dr. Eruviel Ávila Villegas, se fundaron los Centros Médico-Asistenciales del Adulto Mayor en diversos municipios del Estado de México con la finalidad de ofrecer servicios médicos, asistenciales y diversos talleres a personas de la tercera edad.
El presente trabajo tuvo por propósito narrar la experiencia pedagógica derivada del convenio suscrito entre el DIFEM-UAEMéx, en relación a la implementación de cursos y talleres culturales; dirigidos al adulto mayor en los Centros Médico-Asistenciales en Zinacantepec, Estado de México, con el fin de favorecer el envejecimiento activo a través del taller de Historia de México, que permitiese hacer un ejercicio de recuperación de la memoria personal y social.
La aproximación teórica de esta investigación fue la historia de la educación ya que a ésta le compete vincular la práctica pedagógica, así como la didáctica especializada, además de que a ella le compete estudiar la evolución de los saberes educativos con esa formación histórica. La metodología fue de corte cualitativo, bajo dos niveles de análisis: el discursivo y el empírico.

Authors: Mamatha Shree C, Prashanth K.S, Girija B  
Published: January 2024

Background
Pranayama (breathing exercises), involves manipulation of breath, consists of three phases: “Puraka” (inhalation), “kumbhaka” (retention) and “rechaka ” (exhalation) that can be either fast or slow. Among all yogic practices pranayama is simplest to learn and to practice regularly in daily life. So a study was conducted to explore whether pranayama practiced alone over a short duration, has any tangible effect on stress, sleep, and cardiovascular parameters
Objectives
To evaluate the effect of short term practice of pranayama on Perceived Stress, Sleep Quality, Heart rate & Blood Pressure.
Materials and method
40 healthy subjects in the age group of 19–61 years were recruited in pranayama centers, prior to enrollment in pranayama course. Their HR, BP were recorded and they answered Perceived Stress Scale & Pittsburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire on the 1st day of enrollment. Then they practiced pranayama under supervision for 20 days, at the end of which HR, BP were recorded and they answered the same questionnaires. Data was statistically analyzed using students ‘t’ test, with P value <0.05 taken to be statistically significant.
Results
Practicing pranayama for 20 days significantly (p<0.05) decreased stress, systolic & diastolic blood pressure, improved sleep quality. Heart rate changes were insignificant (p=0.9).
Conclusion
Pranayama alone when practiced even over a short term, significantly reduces perceived stress, improves sleep quality, and decreases blood pressure.

Authors: Graceline Margarat Lydia. P,  Latha R  
Published: January 2024

Background
Physical activity is known to improve physical fitness and to reduce the incidence of Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity etc. Regular exercise as in athletes produces a positive effect on the lung function by increasing vital capacity and make them more fit. The Pulmonary Function Capacities of sedentary individuals have been studied extensively in India but less in the context of an athletic population.
Objectives

To study the variations in PEFR among sports persons and sedentary persons.

To study the variations in BMI of persons of different sports activities.

To study the variations in PEFR among persons of different sports activities.

Materials and Method
Sixty subjects comprising of 30 Male and 30 Female sports person were taken as the study group and 60 sedentary persons were taken as the control group. PEFR was measured using Mini Wright's peak flow meter. The height, weight and BMI of all subjects were recorded.
Results
Unpaired t test is used to find out the differences between sports persons and sedentary persons and male and female sports persons. Our study shows that height(p<0.0130) and PEFR(p<0.0001) was found to be significantly higher and BMI(p<0.0399) was significantly lower among sports persons when compared with the sedentary persons. Height (p < 0.0084), weight(p<0.0248) and PEFR (p< 0.0078) were significantly higher in male sports person when compared with the females. ANOVA test was used to find out the difference in height, weight, BMI and PEFR between different sports activities. Height and PEFR were found to be higher among football players and athletes and BMI was found to be lower in football players when compared to the other sports persons.
Conclusion
The results indicate that all the sportspersons had a higher value of lung function compared to the controls. PEFR was found to be high among persons with increased height. Among the various groups of players chosen for this study, the athletes and football players showed the maximum increase in their lung functions and BMI was found to be lower in football players when compared to the other sports persons. The fact that footballers and athletes had higher lung functions could be attributed to the fact that these games involves a lot of power in running at great speed. Compared to the other games included in this study more force has to be generated while running at great speed.
A Study of Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency among Individuals Exposed to Artificial Light from Electronic Gadgets
Authors: V. Prabha, V. Shankarappa  
Published: January 2024

Background
The critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) is the frequency at which a flickering stimulus is perceived to be steady, with higher values suggesting greater perceptual accuracy. Measurement CFF has been used to evaluate the processing speed of central nerves system and the coordination between the sensory and the motor systems. Exposure to LED light from smart phones causes sleep disorders. Lack of sleep affects alertness, concentration, memory leading to later developing anxiety disorders, depressive illness, and substance abuse. Hence the current study is designed to estimate CFF exposed to artificial light from electronics.
Materials & Method
Fifty young healthy subjects not exposed to the artificial light from electronic gadgets (group I) & fifty age and sex matched subjects exposed to the artificial light from electronic gadgets (group II) in the age group of 18–38 years were included for the study. Informed consent was taken from the participants. Critical fusion frequency was recorded. Sleep quality, pattern & daytime sleepiness were assessed by questionnaire.
Results
CFF in group I (38.33 ± 0.98) Hz was significantly higher at 95% confidence interval than higher than in group II (36.65 ± 0.71) Hz, p < 0.001. CFF was positively and significantly correlated with the duration of electronic gadget usage.
Conclusion
CFF was higher in not exposed to the artificial light from electronic gadgets than subjects exposed to artificial light.

Authors: T. Sahithi Deepthi, K.N. Maruthy  
Published: January 2024

Younger populations of this modern age are highly exposed to digital screens of different kinds of electronic gadgets. Continuous exposure to digital screens leads to eye strains/visual fatigue which may impact poor orientation and reduction in efficiency.
Aim
To assess the visual fatigue among young male and female subjects by using critical flickering fusion frequency (CFFF).
Material and Method
A total of 60 young healthy adults of age 17–19 years were invited to participate. Of them 30 were males and 30 were females. The CFFF and visual fatigue protocol consists of the subject has to observe flickering light emitting from red LED module. The changes in light flickering were recognized and report by the subjects. The resulting data was statistically analyzed.
Results
Mean CFFF values for male participants are 45.7 ±23.5 Hertz, female participants is 41.4 ±13.9 Hertz with highly significant p value =0.000. The result of our study appears to be reflecting sex differences in visual fatigue. A statistically significant difference between male and females CFFF data was observed.
Conclusion
CFFF can be considered to be a non-invasive tool, useful for screening of diseases of the optic nerve and also an effective indicator of visual fatigue. Occurrence of visual fatigue is seems to be more common in young females than young males which may impact their work performance. This might be reduced by proper guidance; simple changes and precautions such as maintain distance between the screens and eye, regular blinking while seeing the devices.

Published: January 2024

Introduction
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a measure of emotional awareness. Higher EI is associated with improved patient-physician relationship, increased empathy, improved teamwork and communication abilities, stress management, organization commitment, leadership and higher academic performance. The aim of this study is to assess EI in medical students and to investigate if there is any gender difference in EI. We also studied the difference in the EI traits in relation to gender.
Materials and Method
It is an observational, survey based study. EI was assessed using Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT). SSEIT was distributed to 278 students after informed consent. Students have to respond on a five point Likert's scale. The data obtained were interpreted using descriptive statistics and analyzed with R statistical software package.
Results
21% of students were found to have very high EI. 71% were found to have average EI. 8% were found to have low EI. Among the male students, 75% were having average EI score, 18% had high EI and 7% had very low EI. Among the female participants, 68% were found to have average EI, 23% had very high EI and 9% had low EI. EI was similar in both genders and the component traits measured by SSEIT were also similar in both gender.
Conclusion
EI and its trait is similar in both genders. Training modules can be incorporated in graduate medical education programme to improve EI in both genders.

Authors: Onaolapo Adekunle R 
Published: January 2024

The emerging global economic scenario characterized by advancement in technology has brought about rapid changes in the banking industry. Management of various banking institutions in Nigeria relies heavily on information generated from the AIS employed by the firms. Moreover, quality reports are keys to arrive at an ideal investment and efficient way for reporting company financial reports and take optimal decisions. This study examined the impact of AIS Expenditure on the performance of selected NDMBs. Specifically, the study examined the of effect of Accounting Information System expenditure on net profit, returns on equity and investment of selected NDMBsThe study adopted ex-post facto research design and data was sourced secondarily from the audited annual financial reports of selected NDMBs listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group for the period 2007-2022. The population of the study consisted of fourteen (14) NDMBs and a sample size of seven (7) was arrived at using purposive sampling technique to select banks whose annual report and accounts are readily accessible in the study period. Analytical techniques used in the study consisted of both descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics employed includes minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation while panel regression analysis was used to test the study hypotheses. Result of panel regression revealed that among the variables examined, only Operating expenses (OPEX), was found to be statistically significant in explaining the variation in net profit. The variable exhibited a positive effect on net profit, with a t-value of 2.6643 and a p-value of 0.0347. The overall influence of all tested independent variables Operating Expenses (OPEX), Human Resources Expenses (HREX), Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure (ICTIEX) and Research and Development Expenses (RDEX) on dependent variable on Net Profit was Adj. R-Squared 0.6257. This indicates that a unit increase in AIS expenditure is associated with a corresponding increase in 62.57% in net profit. The study therefore concluded that Accounting Information System expenditure has effect on the performance of Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that NDMBs should put mechanisms in place to aid further investments in the adoption of Accounting Information System.

This study investigated the influence of connectedness to nature and environmental identity on pro-environmental behaviour among youths. Three instruments were used in this study, they are: Pro-environmental Behavior Scale (PEBS), Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS), and Environmental Identity Scale. Two hundred undergraduates were selected using a Convenience Sampling method. Four hypotheses were tested using regression, independent T-test. Result showed that connectedness to nature β= .30, t= 4.40, p<.01 and environmental identity β= .25, t= 3.66, p<.01 independently predict pro-environmental behaviour. Connectedness to nature and environmental identity jointly predict pro-environmental behaviour; there is no significant sex difference in pro-environmental behavior t(198)= .542, p>.05. There is no significant difference in pro-environmental behavior between rural and urban residents t(198)= 1.646,p>.05. Findings of the study were discussed in line with extant literatures. It was concluded that connectedness to nature and environmental identity are positive integers to pro-environmental behaviours.
