Manfaat Yoga untuk Mengurangi Nyeri Haid pada Remaja Putri di SMA Islam Al-Falah Kota Jambi

Dysmenorrhea is pain during menstruation caused by uterine muscle spasms. The cause of dysmenorrhea is due to increased levels of prostaglandins. This increase will result in uterine contractions and vasoconstriction of blood vessels. The blood flow to the uterus decreases so that the uterus does not get a adequate supply of oxen which causes pain intensity pain influenced by the individual's description of the pain or the perception of pain experience. Treatment efforts to reduce dysmenorrhea are by administering pharmacological therapies such as analgetic drugs, hormonal therapy therapy with non-steroidal anti-prostaglandin drugs and cervical canal dilatation. Yoga is a technique that teaches such as relaxation techniques, breathing, and body position to increase strength, balance and reduce pain. External targets The results of educational activities on the benefits of yoga to reduce menstrual pain will be published in the form of a national scientific journal so that it can be accessed by the public. This community service activity was held at Al-Falah Islamic High School in Jambi City. Implementation time in January 2021. The target in this activity is students of grade X and XI of Sma Islam Al-Falah Jambi City. The result is that students understand the benefits of yoga to reduce menstrual pain. It is recommended that students more often follow activities that provide knowledge for students by attending other health counseling so as to increase the knowledge of adolescents.

Post or Perish? – Scholarly Communication Practices on Social Media in Times of Deep Mediatization

The rise of the Internet and social media has introduced profound changes to (media-related) practices and communication strategies to accumulate power in the field of science. These are often described as the result of a (deep) mediatization of science with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the effects of (deep) mediatization further. The aim of this paper is to identify field-specific social media practices to accumulate capital in the field of science and analyze how they have been changed in the wake of (deep) mediatization processes. The paper does so by using the concept of field-specific mediatization as a theoretical basis. The empirical part of the study builds on 55 qualitative interviews with German-speaking scholars that were conducted in 2016. It compares their description of social media usage and communication strategies to accumulate power to scholarly practices currently conducted under the influence of the pandemic as described in the literature. The results of the analysis show that scholars accumulate capital by networking (social capital), accessing and sharing information and publications (cultural capital) and increasing their visibility (symbolic capital). Due to field-specific processes of mediatization of the field, external communication has become more important and internal communication has gained a more personal quality. Overall, formerly clear-cut boundaries of internal and external target groups as well as personal and professional spheres have become more blurred and pressure connected to visibility enhanced.

Impaired body-centred sensorimotor transformations in congenitally deaf people.

Congenital deafness modifies an individual’s daily interaction with the environment and alters the fundamental perception of the external world. How congenital deafness shapes the interface between the internal and external worlds remains poorly understood. To interact efficiently with the external world, visuospatial representations of external target objects need to be effectively transformed into sensorimotor representations with reference to the body. Here, we tested the hypothesis that egocentric body-centred sensorimotor transformation is impaired in congenital deafness. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that congenital deafness induced impairments in egocentric judgements, associating the external objects with the internal body. These impairments were due to deficient body-centred sensorimotor transformation per se, rather than the reduced fidelity of the visuospatial representations of the egocentric positions. At the neural level, we first replicated the previously well-documented critical involvement of the frontoparietal network in egocentric processing, in both congenitally deaf participants and hearing controls. However, both the strength of neural activity and the intra-network connectivity within the frontoparietal network alone could not account for egocentric performance variance. Instead, the inter-network connectivity between the task-positive frontoparietal network and the task-negative default-mode network was significantly correlated with egocentric performance: the more cross-talking between them, the worse the egocentric judgement. Accordingly, the impaired egocentric performance in the deaf group was related to increased inter-network connectivity between the frontoparietal network and the default-mode network and decreased intra-network connectivity within the default-mode network. The altered neural network dynamics in congenital deafness were observed for both evoked neural activity during egocentric processing and intrinsic neural activity during rest. Our findings thus not only demonstrate the optimal network configurations between the task-positive and -negative neural networks underlying coherent body-centred sensorimotor transformations but also unravel a critical cause (i.e. impaired body-centred sensorimotor transformation) of a variety of hitherto unexplained difficulties in sensory-guided movements the deaf population experiences in their daily life.

PENDAMPINGAN DAN PENGUATAN KAPASITAS PENGURUS KELOMPOK LANSIA DI PERUM BUMI ASRI DADAPREJO MALANG

The partner of this community service program is the administrator of the rw 9 elderly group Bumi Housing Asri Dadaprejo. Based on interviews with the Chairman's Mother RW 9, the Chairman of the Elderly Group, and the Treasurer of the Elderly Group, several obstacles were found, among others; Management exists but vacuum approximately 3 (three) years. This is due to the busyness of administrators in managing external activities in a social-community context. Thus, elderly activities in RW 9 are more likely to be absent; 2) The elderly group in RW 9 has actually been formed. Unfortunately, there is minimal participation. As for some who are active, they only follow the Elderly Posyandu and the Independent Elderly Program; 3) There is a longing and strong desire of the administrator to activate activities in his own environment so as to motivate togetherness and active participation in the RW 9 environment. This anxiety refers to the experience of 3 (three) years ago of elderly management where almost all were excited in participating in activities held in rw 9. Based on the analysis of the situation and problems faced by the elderly group management, the implementation team submitted a solution in the form of "Assistance and Strengthening the Capacity of the Elderly Group Management RW 9 Perum Bumi Asri Dadaprejo" through the agenda: 1) Assistance in mapping elderly social problems to restore the sense of concern and togetherness; 2) Assisting the preparation of routine activities of the elderly group to form an independent and professional management structure; 3) Development of administrators related to the implementation and evaluation of activity programs that make the elderly group feel "healthy, empowered and happy". The implementation of this group service program is carried out classically (sharing and upgrading individual capacity) in accordance with several topics; 1.) Basics of Organizational Governance at the regional level; 2.)Effective communication strategies and urban social interaction models; and 3.) Healthy, Empowered, and Happy Elderly Lifestyle. Thus, the external targets in this service program are; 1) Independence of administrators to map social problems and compile elderly community activities through the coordination of elderly group administrators on a regular basis, 2) Capacity to organize activities compiled by the administrators of the elderly group in mutually agreed activities, 3) Capacity to evaluate community activity administrators who are able to restore the togetherness and active participation of the elderly in rw 9, among others (1) Gymnastics of Healthy Elderly And (2) Profile books of elderly groups

Pay attention! The influence of coach-, content-, and player-related factors on focus of attention statements during tennis training

ABSTRACT It is well established that adopting an external focus of attention (EF) enhances motor learning when contrasted to an internal focus (IF) or a neutral condition. Despite consistent evidence for this performance-enhancing effect of an EF, recent studies show that coaches predominantly induce an IF in the communication with athletes. It remains, however, unknown whether and to what degree coach-, content- or player-related factors have an impact on the focus of attention during youth tennis training. Therefore, we recorded all statements from 10 tennis coaches during six training sessions with a total of 87 youth athletes aged 18 years or younger. All statements were categorized according to the focus they induced (IF, EF, neutral, best place to hit the ball, mix, no focus) and the form of communication (instruction, feedback). Of the relevant statements (n = 3049), 45.1% promoted an EF, whereas 33.1% induced an IF. Evaluation of coaches-, player- and content-specific features (education, age of coach/player, training content, skill level) showed that more statements with an IF were given when training beginners. The data also show more statements with an EF for instructions (59.0%) compared to feedback (43.0%). Our results contrast with other sports where instructions with an IF predominate. Thus, instrumented sports with external targets (e.g. tennis) might be better suited for inducing an EF. The data also show that coaches are more likely to use IF when communicating with beginners. Consequently, an EF should not be induced in every possible situation, even if this is often communicated so far. Highlights This study shows for the first time that statements that induce an external focus of attention predominate in tennis. This result contrasts with results from other sports and suggests that racquet sports may be better suited for inducing an external attentional focus. This study shows that coaches adapt their communication to the performance level of their athletes. The use of an external focus of attentions predominates when working with tennis players. However, the likelihood of inducing an EF is even higher when working with skilled tennis players when compared to beginners. The way of communication (feedback vs. instruction) influences how coaches phrase their statements to athletes. The analysis revealed that coaches use more statements with an external focus of attentions for instructions compared to feedback.

Quantifying memory and persistence in the atmosphere–land and ocean carbon system

Abstract. Here we intend to further the understanding of the planetary burden (and its dynamics) caused by the effect of the continued increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel burning and land use as well as by global warming from a new rheological (stress–strain) perspective. That is, we perceive the emission of anthropogenic CO2 into the atmosphere as a stressor and survey the condition of Earth in stress–strain units (stress in units of Pa, strain in units of 1) – allowing access to and insight into previously unknown characteristics reflecting Earth's rheological status. We use the idea of a Maxwell body consisting of elastic and damping (viscous) elements to reflect the overall behavior of the atmosphere–land and ocean system in response to the continued increase in CO2 emissions between 1850 and 2015. Thus, from the standpoint of a global observer, we see that the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing (rather quickly). Concomitantly, the atmosphere is warming and expanding, while some of the carbon is being locked away (rather slowly) in land and oceans, likewise under the influence of global warming. It is not known how reversible and how out of sync the latter process (uptake of carbon by sinks) is in relation to the former (expansion of the atmosphere). All we know is that the slower process remembers the influence of the faster one, which runs ahead. Important questions arise as to whether this global-scale memory – Earth's memory – can be identified and quantified, how it behaves dynamically, and, last but not least, how it interlinks with persistence by which we understand Earth's path dependency. We go beyond textbook knowledge by introducing three parameters that characterize the system: delay time, memory, and persistence. The three parameters depend, ceteris paribus, solely on the system's characteristic viscoelastic behavior and allow deeper and novel insights into that system. The parameters come with their own limits which govern the behavior of the atmosphere–land and ocean carbon system, independently from any external target values (such as temperature targets justified by means of global change research). We find that since 1850, the atmosphere–land and ocean system has been trapped progressively in terms of persistence (i.e., it will become progressively more difficult to relax the system), while its ability to build up memory has been reduced. The ability of a system to build up memory effectively can be understood as its ability to respond still within its natural regime or, if the build-up of memory is limited, as a measure for system failures globally in the future. Approximately 60 % of Earth's memory had already been exploited by humankind prior to 1959. Based on these stress–strain insights we expect that the atmosphere–land and ocean carbon system will be forced outside its natural regime well before 2050 if the current trend in emissions is not reversed immediately and sustainably.

Nigeria's Perpetual Underdevelopment and Theory of Development Policy

The paper revealed how Nigeria has remained perpetually underdeveloped by various development indicators. To explain Nigeria’s perpetual underdevelopment, the paper presented a Structural Theory of Development Policy. The theory postulates an interrelationship among four components of any economic system, comprising policy instruments (vector x), external exogenous variables (vector u), target and non-target endogenous variables (vectors y and z), impacting welfare function w(y), as illustrated below: The theory elucidates perpetual underdevelopment by the following obstacles: (i) Perverted articulation of development objectives (ii) Deficient knowledge of the economic system (iii) Excessive vulnerability to external factors (iv) Limited capacity for policy implementation The resolution of these obstacles was discussed. However, the deficient knowledge of the economic system was considered the critical factor for extensive empirical analysis. A classical illustration is the foreign-exchange excess-demand theory, empirically proven to be a false paradigm, inapplicable to the Nigerian economy characterized by overwhelming dependence on primary commodity exports, price and income inelastic demand for goods and services, double-digit inflation rate, severe political instability, and unbridled corruption fuelling capital flight. Comprehensive econometric analysis for Nigeria negated the foreign exchange excess demand theory in all its ramifications, justifying the need for foreign exchange market regulation.

Three-dimensional porous aerogel assembly from ultrathin rGO@SnO2 nanosheets for advanced lithium-ion batteries

High capacity, ultra-fast charge/discharge rate, and long cycling life are external targets for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to satisfy modern energy storage, but it is still challenging to realize them simultaneously. Here, we report a three-dimensional (3D) porous rGO@SnO 2 nanosheets aerogel (rGO@SnO 2 NSA) based on in-situ growing two-dimensional (2D) SnO 2 nanosheets on graphene oxide (GO@SnO 2 NS), subsequent controllable assembly and reduction. The 2D structure of SnO 2 can shorten the electron-transfer path, and the porous architecture of the 3D aerogel endows the aerogels with external ion-transfer channels and exceptional capacitive contribution. As a result, the LIBs using our 3D aerogels as anodes can endure ultrafast charge/discharge (10 A g −1 ) rate and exhibit ultra-long cycling life with a high energy density (512.1 mAh g −1 after 10,000 cycles). For application exploration, the LiFePO 4 /rGO@SnO 2 NSA cell also possesses excellent energy storage performance (364.5 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles). Our electrode design strategy of combining 2D active materials and 3D porous architecture provides a new path to develop next-generation rechargeable energy storage devices. The rGO@SnO 2 NSA based on in-situ growing two-dimensional (2D) SnO 2 nanosheets on GO, subsequent controllable assembly and reduction realizes a combination of high capacity and long-term cycling performance even at ultrahigh current density when used as anodes in LIBs, which have rarely been achieved in previous reports. This aerogel shows great potential in applications of LIBs to obtain stable and long-term fast charge/discharge. • 3D porous aerogels assembly based on rGO and ultrathin SnO 2 nanosheets achieve high content of SnO 2 and fully help SnO 2 nanosheets to fit the 3D porous architecture. • Excellent capacity and long-cycling performances at 10 A g -1 with long cycling life (10000 cycles). • Unique construction contributes to superior capacitive contribution and the stability of the structure of the electrode during the high-rate charge/discharge.

Foreign exchange intervention and monetary policy rules under a managed floating regime: evidence from China

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the consequences of foreign exchange (FX) intervention in monetary policy under a managed floating regime. Focusing on China’s FX intervention, we identify periods of strong and weak FX intervention using a Markov regime switching approach. We then evaluate quantity-based monetary policy rules using both regime switching reduced-form and structural estimations. In particular, monetary policy regimes obtained from the structural estimation match well with the previously identified intervention regimes. We find that the People’s Bank of China has significant exchange rate stabilization incentives during periods of strong FX intervention, and that the monetary policy rule depends on the state of FX intervention. Furthermore, our estimations point to a trade-off between the central bank’s internal and external policy targets in that strong FX intervention leads to weak responses to domestic GDP and inflation fluctuations.

Double-Layered Model Predictive Control for Building HVAC Systems Considering Thermal Comfort*

This paper provides an optimization-based control approach for the building HVAC systems to reduce the energy consumption under the operational uncertainties. In order to achieve high energy efficiency while satisfying the thermal comfort of occupants, we propose a double-layered model predictive control approach, where the upper layer calculates the optimal steady state target while optimizing the performance index, and the lower layer utilizes a dynamic controller to track the steady state target. By utilizing this framework, the soft constraints such as the comfort level can be relaxed to find a feasible operation point when the presence of unknown disturbance leads to an unreachable external target. We setup a test in a 25m2 office located at an educational complex in Xi'an Jiaotong University, China. The results show that our approach maintains the room temperature in the comfort range for the occupants and achieves 7% energy reduction compared to the benchmarks.

The Control of Pathogenic Fungi with Trichoderma in Banjar Pinge, Tabanan of Bali Province

Pinge is one of the traditional sub-village (banjar) in Baru Village, Marga Sub district, Tabanan Regency of Bali Province. There are 36% of villagers living below the poverty line where 85% of them are farmers who cultivate fruit and flowers. They have many problems with fruit and flower production as the yields is low due to natural disasters and poor agricultural practice and support. Some flower growers often complain of low flower production, especially Marigold flowers due to the attack of pathogenic fungi that cause flower blight. The solution to solve the problems faced by partners is: by providing Appropriate Technology in the processing of cow dung into compost fertilizer plus trichoderma sp antagonist microorganisms. External targets to be achieved are the use of appropriate technology in the processing technology of cow dung into compost plus Trichoderma sp. Based on the results of activities as much as 70% understand and are able to apply pest and disease control to flowers by utilizing biological agents. Trichoderma can reduce the intensity of disease above the ground by 50.00% and suppress the intensity in the soil by 34.48%. In addition, giving Trichoderma sp. can increase the fresh weight of the plant by up to 30.75%.

A note on semiparametric efficient generalization of causal effects from randomized trials to target populations

When effect modifiers influence the decision to participate in randomized trials, generalizing causal effect estimates to an external target population requires the knowledge of two scores – the propensity score for receiving treatment and the sampling score for trial participation. While the former score is known due to randomization, the latter score is usually unknown and estimated from data. Under unconfounded trial participation, we characterize the asymptotic efficiency bounds for estimating two causal estimands – the population average treatment effect and the average treatment effect among the non-participants – and examine the role of the scores. We also study semiparametric efficient estimators that directly balance the weighted trial sample toward the target population, and illustrate their operating characteristics via simulations.

Nano-Sized Extracellular Matrix Particles Lead to Therapeutic Improvement for Cutaneous Wound and Hindlimb Ischemia.

Cell-derived matrix (CDM) has proven its therapeutic potential and been utilized as a promising resource in tissue regeneration. In this study, we prepared a human fibroblast-derived matrix (FDM) by decellularization of in vitro cultured cells and transformed the FDM into a nano-sized suspended formulation (sFDM) using ultrasonication. The sFDM was then homogeneously mixed with Pluronic F127 and hyaluronic acid (HA), to effectively administer sFDM into target sites. Both sFDM and sFDM containing hydrogel (PH/sFDM) were characterized via immunofluorescence, sol–gel transition, rheological analysis, and biochemical factors array. We found that PH/sFDM hydrogel has biocompatible, mechanically stable, injectable properties and can be easily administered into the external and internal target regions. sFDM itself holds diverse bioactive molecules. Interestingly, sFDM-containing serum-free media helped maintain the metabolic activity of endothelial cells significantly better than those in serum-free condition. PH/sFDM also promoted vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion from monocytes in vitro. Moreover, when we evaluated therapeutic effects of PH/sFDM via the murine full-thickness skin wound model, regenerative potential of PH/sFDM was supported by epidermal thickness, significantly more neovessel formation, and enhanced mature collagen deposition. The hindlimb ischemia model also found some therapeutic improvements, as assessed by accelerated blood reperfusion and substantially diminished necrosis and fibrosis in the gastrocnemius and tibialis muscles. Together, based on sFDM holding a strong therapeutic potential, our engineered hydrogel (PH/sFDM) should be a promising candidate in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Peripheral refraction in Japanese schoolchildren with low to moderate myopia.

To report the profile of peripheral refraction in Japanese children with mild to moderate myopia and compare it with reported data from other countries. Cross-sectional study. Subjects were 76 Japanese children with myopia (mean± SD [range] spherical equivalent, -3.04±0.98 [-0.50 to -4.50] D; mean age, 10.0±1.5 [6-12] years). We performed cycloplegic refraction using an open-field autorefractor FR-5000 (Grand Seiko) while the subject looked at external fixation targets located at 0, ±15, ±30 degrees from the center along the horizontal meridian. Only the right eye data were analyzed after converting the readings to the power vector of M (spherical equivalent), J180, and J45. The profile showed a clear hyperopic shift of M from the fovea to the peripheral retina, although a wide inter-subject variation existed. At the gaze positions of ±30 degrees, the mean relative M were +1.16±0.89 D and +1.64±1.02 D (nasal and temporal retina, respectively). Those for J180 were -0.94±0.30 D and -0.70±0.30 D (nasal and temporal retina, respectively). The mean J45 remained small (≦ 0.17 D) within this range of eccentricity. There was no correlation between the relative M at the gaze position of -30 degrees and on-axis refraction, axial length, or children's age (p > 0.05). The profile of peripheral refraction was similar to that reported in children with moderate to high myopia in other East Asian countries. In this cohort, we did not find evidence supporting a hypothesis that greater myopia and longer axial length are associated with a greater peripheral hyperopic shift of the refraction.

Study of Potential Classification of Lost Students in College Based on Information Extraction on Text-Based Social Media; Case Study of Panca Budi Pembangunan University

The main problem studied in this study is the large number of lost students who harm universities because of the difficulty of monitoring or monitoring as a preventive measure. Therefore, this research becomes very important to be done so that college institutions can make efforts to detect early (classification) of students who potentially cannot complete their studies on time or students who will drop out (DO). Thus, PT institutions through related parties such as academic guidance lecturers, academic bureaus and others can do initial prevention by providing the best solution or solution to the problems faced by students. This research aims to determine the training data model consisting of academic and non-academic factors (including the results of extracting information from social media). Furthermore, this model is used as a basis for classifying students who have the potential to "graduate on time", "graduate not on time", and "DO". The method approach used is quantitative with text mining computational algorithms for the process of extracting knowledge / information from social media which is further used in data training, as well as data mining computational algorithms for the process of classification of potential completion of student studies. The mandatory external targeted in the first year is the publication of the international journal Scopus Q4 and in the second year is the publication of the international journal Scopus Q3. For additional external targets in the first and second years respectively are the publication of international journals indexed on reputable indexers, ISBN teaching books and copyrights.
