Primary dysmenorrhea is also associated with significantly high economic burdens due to absenteeism, and 2-to-3-fold increased healthcare costs. Objective: To determine the effects of myofascial release versus pelvic floor muscle exercises in women with primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: The study design was Randomized Clinical Trial. The study was conducted at Gynae Department of Hamza Hospital Lahore and completed ten months after the approval of synopsis. Sample size is 22, calculated by Epitool. Nonprobability convenient sampling technique was used. Females with 17-30 years of age and who fulfilled five criteria to be considered for primary dysmenorrhea were included in the study. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and working ability, location, intensity, days of pain, dysmenorrhea (WaLIDD) Score was used as a tool. Results: Twenty-four participants with mean age of the participants was 21 ± 2.75 years while Body Mass Index (BMI) of participants was 26.23 ± 1.631. Normality of data was checked by Shapiro wilk test that showed that data was normally distributed with p value ≤ 0.05. Parametric test, paired sample t test and an independent samples t-test was conducted to compare the effects of Myofascial release and Pelvic floor muscle exercises group in between and within group. Total score of VAS and WaLIDD was measured before and after 12 weeks of intervention in between two groups. The mean difference was 5.82 in Myofascial release group and 4.3 in Pelvic floor muscle exercises group. Although there was a significant reduction in WaLIDD score in both groups after treatment, but the myofascial release group was superior to pelvic floor exercise group. Conclusions: It was concluded that myofascial release and Pelvic floor muscle exercises are effective for treatment for primary dysmenorrhea, but Myofascial release has greater effects on relieving primary dysmenorrhea Symptoms than the pelvic floor muscle Exercises after the treatment sessions

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is the leading cause of liver diseases globally, causing severe complications such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite the advent of successful regimens, still, 71 million individuals are chronically infected every year. Therefore, more accessible novel therapies are needed to fight the challenges such as adverse effects, genotype selectivity, and resistance to these regimens due to viral mutations. HCV NS5A is a non-structural phosphoprotein, with its pivotal role in viral replication assembly, and has been the target of continuous research. Cyclopeptides are an emerging class of peptides reported to have antiviral, anticancer, and antimicrobial properties. These cyclopeptides have exceptional resistance to thermal, chemical, or enzymatic degradation. Herein, we present the inhibitory potential of cyclopeptide Kalata B12 against the HCV NS5A gene. Objective: To investigate the antiviral potential of Kalata B2, Kalata B12, and cycloviolacin O14 against HCV NS5A Methods: We investigated thirty cyclopeptides through molecular docking analysis for their anti-HCV-NS5A inhibition potential. Three cyclopeptides, Kalata B2, Kalata B12, and cycloviolacin O14 showed minimum binding energies, for their antiviral potential. The defense-related, circular mini-protein Kalata B12 showed an impressive docking score of -9.80 Kcal/mol. Further, it was synthesized and went through cytotoxicity analysis via MTT assay on HepG2 cell line, which showed more than 85% cell viability at submicromolar concentrations. Results: The peptide Kalata B12 showed significant (***P<0.0001) inhibition of NS5A gene (approx. 75%) at 100nM in In vitro trials, confirmed by real-Time PCR analysis. Conclusions: Kalata B12 cyclopeptide was found to be a potential HCV NS5A inhibitor

Published: June 2022

1747’de Nadir Şah’ın ölümünden sonra Azerbaycan’da merkezi devlet yapısı ortadan kalktı. Bu durumda Azerbaycan beyleri İran’dan ayrılarak kendilerini bulundukları bölgenin bağımsız hanı ilan etiller. Ancak Azerbaycan hanları iç ve dış güçlerin de etkisiyle tek çatı altında birleşemediler. Azerbaycan hanlarının kendi aralarında siyasi birlik kuramamasından istifade eden Çar Rusya’sı ise, bu durumu fırsat bilerek, “böl ve yönet” misali başta Gence hanlığı olmakla diğer Azerbaycan hanlıklarını tek-tek ele geçirdi. Fakat bu hadise Sovyetler Birliği döneminde “gönüllü birleşme” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Bu kavrama karşı çıkanlar ise, “olum ve ölüm” dilemma tuğyanının kurbanı olmuşlardır. Ancak Azerbaycan’ın bağımsızlık
kazanmasıyla korku/felaket devri bitti. Hakikat üzerine çekilen demir perdenin ortadan kaldırılmasıyla araştırmacılara gerçekleri gün ışığına çıkarma imkânı yarandı. Çalışmada Azerbaycan hanlıklar sisteminin yaranma süreci, Gence hanlığının işgali ve Cevad Han’ın bağımsızlık mücadelesi ana hatlarıyla incelenecektir

Challenges Implementing ISO 19906 for Probabilistic Assessment of Multi-year Sea Ice Loads on Sloping Structures
Authors: Fuglem Mark , Richard Martin , Thijssen Jan 
Published: June 2022

The ISO standard ISO 19906:2010 provides guidance for determining design loads for offshore structures in arctic and sub-arctic regions, using both deterministic and probabilistic approaches. References are provided for models of both first and multi-year ice loads on both vertically-faced and sloping structures.
ISO 19906 indicates that consideration should be given to limit stresses at the ice structure interface based on the dominating ice failure mechanisms, limit forces associated with the available driving force that can act on the interacting ice floe due to wind, currents and surrounding ice, and the kinetic energy of the impacting feature. Analyses show that the kinetic energy of an impacting multi-year floe driven by surrounding ice will result in larger loads than those from driving forces alone. In order to determine penetrations and maximum loads, it is then necessary to consider the variation in load with penetration during an impact.
In the case of multi-year ice loads on sloping structures, full-scale data to properly validate models is lacking. Several models are available that estimate maximum loads for level ice interactions with sloping structures. These models can partially account for rubble forming on the structure during the interaction thereby increasing loads, though the ability to estimate rubble heights for different structure shapes and ice conditions at present is limited. In the case of multi-year ridges, several models are available that estimate the maximum load during the interaction of a prismatic beam shaped ridge contacting a conical structure. Data and model for loads from more realistic multi-year ridge shapes are lacking. Additionally, the influence of rubble existing on the structure at the time the ridge impacts is not explicitly considered.
This paper examines issues in determining probabilistic design loads for multi-year interactions with sloping structures and presents sensitivity results for key assumptions and parameters. The analyses were carried out using the Sea Ice Loads Software (SILS) developed by C-CORE as part of a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to implement ice load models referenced in ISO 19906 within a probabilistic framework for the purpose of determining design loads. Interpretation was required where ISO 19906 does not provide explicit details on the models and probabilistic implementation. Monte-Carlo simulation was selected for carrying out probabilistic calculations of design loads as this approach is robust.
Uncertainty in 100 and 10,000 Year Ice Loads on Offshore Structures
Authors: McKenna Richard , Fuglem Mark , Crocker Greg 
Published: June 2022

The ISO 19906 arctic structures standard specifies that ice loads be calculated at the extreme level (100 year return period) for verifying ultimate limit states and at the abnormal level (10,000 years) for accidental/abnormal limit states. Since ice load measurements on structures have only been made over much shorter time periods, concerns are often expressed about the accuracy to which 10,000 year values can be estimated.
In this paper, the uncertainties in 100 and 10,000 year loads are considered through examples based on experience with calculations of loads on structures in different iceberg and sea ice environments. For icebergs, it is necessary to consider the size distribution of icebergs (including the potential presence of extremely large icebergs and ice islands) as well as drift velocities and shapes that can govern high return- period loads for fixed structures. With sea ice, abnormal-level loads can be governed either by the presence and geometrical properties of large discrete features (e.g. first-year ridges and stamukhi, or in the arctic, multi-year floes with thick ridges), or by very thick ice as a result of thermal growth. It is demonstrated how errors in key contributing ice parameters can influence extreme-level loads, and the relationship between level/rafted ice loads at the abnormal level and the factored (1.35) extreme-level values, and how these uncertainties might be considered in the design process.

Published: June 2022

Background
It has been well established that proprioception plays a decisive role in shoulder stability and sport performance. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of clear association between active joint position sense (AJPS) and the performance of upper-extremity functional performance tests. The aim of this study was to determine whether the AJPS of the shoulder complex is associated with the performance of college volleyball players with the following functional tests: Y-Balance Test-Upper Quarter (YBT-UQ), Closed Kinetic Chain Upper-Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), and Seated Medicine Ball Throw (SMBT). The secondary aim was to investigate whether the magnitude of the proprioception error through the AJPS had the ability to act as a predictor for functional test scores.

Methods
Cross-sectional study with a convenience sampling. Healthy college volleyball players (≥12 h of training/week), 30 males and 22 females, between 18 and 26 years of age were included. AJPS of the shoulder (90° of flexion (90°Flex), 90° of internal rotation at 90° of abduction (90°IR/ABD), 90° of external rotation at 90° of abduction (90°ER/ABD)) and three upper-extremity functional performance tests (YBT-UQ, CKCUEST and SMBT) were assessed. A Pearson’s test and a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were used to determine possible associations and relationships between outcome measures, respectively.

Results
The analysis revealed that AJPS at 90°IR/ABD and 90°ER/ABD were the only proprioceptive variables with an association to the YBT-UQ and SMBT. Despite these relationships, only the AJPS at 90°IR/ABD was associated with the performance of the YBT-UQ in; superolateral direction (β = −0.7; 95% CI [−1.3 to 0.1]; p = 0.025); inferolateral direction (β = −1.5; 95% CI [−2.1 to −0.8]; p = 0.001); and composite score (β = −0.8; 95% CI [−1.3 to −0.3]; p = 0.002). From these, AJPS at 90°IR/ABD mainly explained the variability of YBT-UQ (inferolateral direction) performance (R2 = 0.32; %R2 = 0.32). Our findings allow for a possible expanded role for proprioception as a contributing factor in upper limb motor control during functional movements. Further research is required to explore and distinguish the associations between proprioception, motor control and sport performance involving the upper limbs.

Published: June 2022

The present study was undertaken to examine the income and employment levels of migrant agricultural labourers during the COVID-19 pandemic period and its preceding normal period. The study was based on primary level survey conducted in Mahabubnagar district of Telangana state. Various tools like tabular analysis were employed for the analysis of data.Income levels of migrant agricultural labourers who were migrated for farm activities during COVID-19 pandemic when compared to before pandemic were compared in the study.
The labourers those who were migrated for farm activities earned an average income of Rs.20,126.90 before the pandemic and it has increased to Rs.30,740.83 per year. Whereas among those who migrated to non-farm activities, during the pandemic when compared to before pandemic were earning an average income of Rs.2,03,274.02 and it was decreased to Rs.1,32,824.98 per year. During the pandemic, some migrant agricultural labourers who migrated to both farm and non-farm activities were earned an average income of Rs.1,32,652.54 and regarding the employment levels of migrant agricultural labourers those who migrated for farm activities before and during the pandemic were for an average number of days of 48.60 man days and it was increased to 59.83 man days per year. Whereas among those who migrated to non-farm activities, during the pandemic were employed for an average number of days of 307.76 and it was decreased to 221.99 per year during the pandemic. Certain policy measures suggested from the study such as migrants should be treated as a special work group and all the required facilities such as EPF, Ration Cards and Insurance facilities etc, are to be provided to prevent the decline in standard of living and moreover during the pandemic times minimum wage act should be strictly implemented and should focus on financial inclusion.

This study delves into the issue of parent – teacher communication and the relations formed in the educational environment with emphasis on the parents’ views about the relation between parents and educational leadership. The thorough literature review provides both theoretical and research dimensions which form the frame of our research process in the specific field. In this respect, our study utilizes the semi-structured interview as a methodological tool. The case study focuses on Crete, a Greek island in the south of the country. The interview results document and analyze the views of 18 parents, 5 of which are members of the Parents and Guardians Association. Their views are classified in terms of: 1) the reasons, ways and frequency of their communication with the school principal, 2) the quality of communication and possible factors of negative impact on their communication and 3) the school principal’s communicative profile along with their features that promote or hinder their communication with parents.
Our research data showed that: 1) the communication with the school principal is rare, non-systematic, unscheduled while the main reasons for communication are problem management and solving, 2) there is positive communication in the frame of a conventional, neutral or weak relation with the principal. The main factors of negative impact on communication are: a) parents’ previous negative experiences, their disappointment due to insufficient information provision from the Principal, c) their comparisons and subjective perceptions about principal effectiveness, d) their goal for more frequent and systematic communication with the classroom teacher. Finally, 3) it was found that the majority of parents have positive views about the principal’s communicative profile meaning that the principal’s skills and personality features outweigh any other factors regarding the promotion of communication between the two sides.

Solar drying remains for developing African countries the only economical means of preserving foodstuffs for which post-harvest losses sometimes reach 60%.
It was modeled in this work, the different elements that constitute a solar drying system by natural convection. This model is described by heat, mass and momentum balance equations between the different exchange media.
The model initially made it possible to describe the dynamic behavior and calorific value of greenhouse-type solar dryers.
The optimization study through simulations also made it possible to compare the drying power of more than 180 solar dryers. The analysis of the simulation results gave the dryer a small size (h = 2.5 m and l = 3 m) with large identical openings (inlet = loutlet = 25 cm) positioned at the two extremes: bottom for the inlet (Ye = 0.1 m) and high for the air outlet (Ys = 1.65 m), as an energy-efficient dryer (Taverage = 50.73 oC). The fluidity of the air (Vaverage = 0.58 m.s-1) in this dryer is also remarkable and could be used for drying food products.
