Prevention of kyphosis development after coronary artery bypass surgery (cabg) using kinesiotape: case study

Background: Kinesiotaping (KT) is a type of taping treatment method involving the application of elastic therapeutic tapes to the skin. The benefits of taping were said to be due to sensorimotor and proprioceptive feedback mechanisms. Taping offers immediate sensorimotor input, and patients often report symptom relief, increased relaxation, or increased joint stability. The elasticity of KT allows for movement by conforming to the body. The most common cardiovascular disorder is coronary artery disease (CAD), which is correlated to a decline in quality of life.

Influence of seed fortification treatment with industrial effluents in petunia

Studies on evaluation of the influence seed fortification with industrial effluents in six different concentrations for 8 and 16 h soaking duration revealed that the effluents of TNPL, dye, tannery and sugarcane distillery at lower concentration of 5 per cent improved the seed and seedling quality characters. Among the effluent TNPL had more invigourative effect on seedling growth.

Effect of open chain versus closed chain segmental control on spinopelvic angles in asymptomatic subjects

Open Chain Segmental Control, Closed Chain Segmental Control, Spinopelvic Angles, Asymptomatic Subjects. Purpose: This study aimed to measure of spinopelvic angles after application of open chain segmental control exercises versus closed chain segmental control exercises, pre and post application. Method: Twenty eight participants were randomly divided into two groups, groups A and B. Group A (n=15) received open chain segmental control exercises for four weeks. Group B (n=13) received closed chain segmental control exercises for four weeks.

Management styles, gender equality practices and social support: a structural equation model on public image of police non- commissioned officers

The purpose of this study was to determine the best fit model of public image among police non-commissioned officers. Specifically, it explored the interrelationship among variables including management style, gender equality practices and social support to public image. This study utilized quantitative research design and structural equation modelling. Data were sourced from 400 respondents taken from the four provincial police office and two chartered city police office of Region XII through proportionate sampling with the number of stations per office as the reference point.

Design and implementation of toxic gas monitoring system

The primary notion of gas leakage detection is the implementation of a protection framework for the detection of gas leakage in a closed environment. In the current situation, there are various criteria linked with gas leaks that have an influence on the lives and property of innocent people. This warning system, which can save people's lives, can be advantageous for businesses and homes. In this project, a SIM900 (GSM module) is utilised to complete the desired task by combining a gas sensor (MQ6), a buzzer, an Arduino UNO, a 5V stepper motor, and an LCD display.
