Immediate Effects of Static Stretching Versus Dynamic Warm up Exercises on Vertical Jump Test in 12 to 16 Years School Students: A Comparative Study

/in /by

The static stretching has been found to enhance flexibility and reduce muscle tension, and dynamic warm up exercises raises core body and deep muscle temperatures, stimulates the nervous system, decreases the inhibition of antagonist muscles, and possibly reduces the risk of injury. Children are often encouraged to participate in some type of warm-up before vigorous physical activity, Warm-up is one of the most common practices at the beginning of Physical Education (PE) classes in schools. The aim of the study was to compare the immediate effects of static stretching versus dynamic warm-up exercises on vertical jump performance in 12 – 16 years school students. The 100 Participant (Boys and Girls) were taken, aged between 12 years to 16 years in 2 groups as Group A static stretching (n = 50) and Group B dynamic warm up exercises (n = 50). The pre assessment was taken before intervention and post assessment was taken after intervention. The study revealed an improvement in vertical jump performance in both intra groups (group A and group B). However, the results of the intergroup study revealed that dynamic warm-up exercises (group B) are more effective than static stretching (group A) in improving vertical jump performance in school students.

Impact of Working Capital Management on Profitability and Market value of the Logistics Industry

/in /by

A company needs sufficient non-current assets and current assets for the successful running of the business and maximization of the wealth of the firm. Especially, in the short-run current assets or working capital management plays an important role in the success or failure of the firm and its impact on its profitability of the firm. This article aims to examine the impact of working capital management on the performance and as well as the market value of companies in the logistics industry. This study used the fixed effect panel data analysis with a data set covering six logistics companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, India for the period 2013-2022.

To estimate the relationship between working capital management and the performance of companies used Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Market value to Book value (MVBV) as dependent variables in the research models. The main results indicate that the positive relationship between working capital, market value, and profitability is not very clear. Logistics companies’ sales are negatively associated with MVBV and ROE of logistics companies. The cash conversion cycle is found statistically not significant, and the relationship between CCC and profitability is negative. Overall, of the study, it is concluded that working capital has an impact on the profitability of logistics companies in India.

Lead Production in Morocco at the Zellidja Lead Smelter Company

/in /by

The subsoil of Morocco is marked by a wealth of mineral resources (phosphate, lead, zinc, coal and others). For this reason, the mining sector is still considered one of the main pillars of the national economy. The Moroccan lead deposits are located mainly in the Atlas region and the Eastern region. The Zellidja lead smelter company has succeeded in distinguishing itself and being among the best lead smelters in Morocco. It is known nationally and internationally for its production of soft lead, antimonial lead oxide, fine silver, copper matte and triple alloy concentrate. The majority of its production is destined for international markets such as Europe, North Africa, Near East and Middle East. In addition, it is also recognized for its large capacity of processing lead concentrate from several mines. This capacity has obviously increased and decreased over time, depending on the number of mines exploited, the presence or absence of ore, the quality of the industrial equipment, the number of employees and other circumstances.

Stature Estimation from Dimension of Hands and Hand Prints in Dehradun Population

/in /by

Background: Stature estimation by hand dimension is one of the common parameters in anthropometry but using the handprints for the same and its positive correlation with height of the subject, makes it a more useful parameter for identification of suspects who have left hand prints at the crime scene.[1].

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 150 (75 males and 75 females) healthy subjects after taking voluntary informed consent. Stature was measured by stadiometer and hand and hand print dimension were measured by vernier caliper. Data was analysed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.

Results: All parameter’s measurement were higher in male as compared to female subjects and shown range of weak to strong but positive correlation with height. Maximum positive correlation was observed in total population whereas minimum positive correlation was observed in between left hand breadth and left hand print breadth with height in female subjects. All the parameters were shown statistically significant correlation with height as p value was less than 0.05.

Conclusion: The regression models thus formed is able to predict stature would be beneficial in challenges of identification of humans.

Phytomedicinal Potential of “Dimocarpus Longan Lour.” as an Essential Nutraceutical

/in /by

For many centuries Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) a native plant of Northeastern India, and Southeast Asia has been used for its nutraceutical properties. The phytochemicals constituents include carbohydrates, proteins, polysaccharides, vitamin C, polyphenols, that exhibit innumerable biological properties. It is essential to review the immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and phytomedicinal potential with the aim to provide a comprehensive information for future development of longan as an essential nutraceutical. Longan is in great demand as various food products viz dried pulp, frozen, fresh, and processed as jam, drinks, wine and canned fruit. The key biological activities of longan pericarp are tyrosinase inhibitory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-glycated, anti-cancer, memory-increasing impact, and other parameters that have a significant contribution to human health.

Treatment Challenges and Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance Stenotrophomonas maltophilia an Emerging Pathogen Isolated from Leafy Greens and Clinical Samples

/in /by

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a commensal and an emerging pathogen earlier noted in broad-spectrum life-threatening infections among the vulnerable, but more recently as a pathogen in immunocompetent individuals. In the current study, S. maltophilia was identified from 78% of vegetable samples. Bacterial population count ranged from 5.50 × 10-1to 4.3 × 10-4 cfu/g (mean 8.9 × 105 cfu/g, median 7.75 × 103 cfu/g). Based on a cross-sectional study performed during 2015-2016 n=35 and 2016-2017 n=55 S. maltophilia was isolated from clinical samples. The occurrence of S. maltophilia from clinical samples increased during 2016-2017 with a significant value of P=.0008. Out of the total of n=90 S. maltophilia, clinical isolates (35.28%) were from tracheal aspirates, followed by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (17.70%), sputum (15.20%), blood (16.82%), and urine (15.0%).  Sample sources were taken from different age groups of patients between 0-75 years. Almost all the isolates > 97% confirmed multiple drug resistance (MDR). Above 95% of the isolates are biofilm formers and the resistance rate increases among the biofilm formers.

/in /by

In this article clinical signs, hematological indicators and photo morphological changes in bones of the etiopathogenesis of calcium–phosphorus metabolism in rabbits are described. Low–nutrition, poor–quality feeding of mother rabbits during the estrus period means that the needs of the mother rabbits’ body for vitamins and macro–microelements are not fully met. Disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in rabbits are on average 53,3% during the gestation period and on average 73,3% during the postpartum period. It is accompanied by symptoms such as a decrease in response to external influences, swelling of the skin, a decrease in gloss, strong whitening of the mucous membranes, a decrease in body weight, accompanied by symptoms such as a change in appetite.
