The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the breed of sire and line of sire on grading of the body conformation and performance of colts of warmblood horses in rearing facilities for testing young horses (RFT). The groundwork database contained data from 2001 to 2011 from nine RFT’s. The database was processed statistically using the GLM method to assess the statistical significance of the effect of the breed of the sire and line of the sire on body conformation and performance of the colts. By multiple comparisons of the individual effects using the Tukey-B method we discovered statistically significant differences in the body conformation and performance of colts of sires among the respective breeds and lines. The performance of the offspring of Dutch warmblood, Hanoverian horse and Holsteiner horse sires is better than of the offspring of sires of the Thoroughbred, Czech warmblood and Selle Francais. The conformation of the offspring by sires of the Holsteiner horse and Hanoverian horse breeds is superior to that of offspring by sires of the Selle Francais and Czech warmblood. The mechanics of movement of the offspring of the 2300 Shagya XVIII-Báb. line is inferior to the offspring of the following lines: 3100 Adeptus xx, 67 Dark Ronald, 1000 Der Lowe xx, 3250 Dwinger 3257, 4800 Ladykiller xx, Orange Peel xx – Alme Z, 1100 Przedswit VI-Rad., 4900 Rantzau xx – Cor De La Bryere, 4600 Rittersporn xx – Ramzes 4028, 60 St. Simon and 88 Teddy. The effect of the line of the sires on the body conformation of colts has not been proved.

The objective of the study was to analyse the dynamics of growth of the Czech warm-blood young horses and to evaluate the effect of rearing facilities for testing young horses (RFT) on the increase in body measurements of the young horses. Groundwork data were obtained from the database of the Czech Warm-Blood Horse Breeders Association which contains data on the regular grading of the young horses in the RFT facilities. Data from the year 2001 to 2011 from 7 RFT facilities for young horses of the Czech warm-blood were entered in the basic database. Statistical processing of the database using the GLM method revealed that the RFT had a statistically significant effect on the tape-measure, heart-girth and bone. By multiple comparisons of the individual effects using the Tukey-B method we discovered statistically significant differences in body measurements of the young horses among the respective rearing facilities for testing young horses. The growth dynamics of young horses in the individual RFT considerably differed. The growth of young horses from the RFT Železnice was the most balanced showing no marked fluctuations. In the other rearing facilities the growth of the young horses fluctuated considerably in the course of the testing period; particularly in the Albertovec, Tlumačov and Luka-Týn rearing facilities for testing young horses the growth of the young horses was retarded in the second half of the testing period.

Inhumation burials are recorded in Britain and Europe during excavations in a standardized way, especially graves of early medieval date. Just a limited number of attributes are usually foregrounded and these mainly concern skeletal identification, the grave plan and, when a burial is furnished, a list of objects, particularly metalwork, as well as occasional reference to burial structures, if present. In this paper, we argue that concealed within these recorded details are attributes that often receive little attention, but which can provide evidence for community investment in the individual funerary rite. These include grave orientation, grave morphology, the body position and the empty spaces in the grave, as well as categories of material culture. We argue here that these factors enable us to define communal burial profiles and can facilitate the identification of group perceptions and actions in dealing with death. By capitalizing on these additional aspects of funerary ritual, archaeologists can move away from a general dependency on well-furnished burials as the main stepping-off point for discussion of social and cultural issues. This has particular relevance for regions where unfurnished burial rites are the norm and where furnished rites do not rely on a wealth of metalwork.

Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem and it is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Decreased utilization of glucose by the body cells and continuous raise in the plasma glucose levels are the major characteristic symptoms of diabetes. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with pathological conditions, mostly micro and macrovascular. Treatment for diabetes is aimed at the management of hyperglycemia using oral hypoglycemic agents which inhibit carbohydrate degrading enzymes, namely amylase and glucosidase. The purpose of this study was to investigate the naturally available inhibitors of amylase and glucosidase present in the peels of citrus fruits such as lemon and orange. The hydroalcoholic extract of the fruit peels were studied for their amylase and glucosidase inhibitory potential and the extract of lemon peel was found to exhibit better inhibition than the orange peel. The extracts were further evaluated for their additive effect. The combined effect of the extracts (50% inhibition achieved at 40 and 80mcg) proved to exhibit better inhibitory potential than the individual effect (50% inhibition achieved at 80 and 160mcg). Thus, from this study, it was very clear that our choice drug sources is containing potential antidiabetic principles that need to be studied further to understand the mechanism of action in detail.

The study examined the relationship between performance on reversible-perspective items in individual and group embedded-figures tests and remaining items, personality and performance variables in two samples of normal females. Performance on the reversible-perspective items was better than on the remaining items in the individual test and as good as other items in the group test. Those who experienced difficulty in solving the reversible-perspective items had more “psychiatric” complaints and greater sociability than subjects who experienced little difficulty.

Introduction: The turmeric extract has been used as a potential alternative for eosin on routine histopathology sections. Kumkum is made from saffron flowers of Crocus sativus L. with mild use of turmeric. Aim: To evaluate the staining characteristics of kumkum solution as a counterstain and to compare the staining characteristics of kumkum solution and turmeric solution in histopathology sections of cervix tissue. Materials and Methods: It was a prospective observational study conducted at a rural tertiary care referral institute, PES Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India, from May 2019 to July 2019. For each case, cervix tissue sections were stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Haematoxylin and Turmeric (H&T) and Haematoxylin and Kumkum (H&K). The staining characteristics of H&T and H&K was documented and evaluated using a scoring system by comparing with that of conventional H&E sections. The parameters were analysed for statistical significance. Chi-square test and two-sample t-test were the statistical tools used to analyse the data. All statistical calculations were done through statistical software STATA version 14.1. Results: A total of 57 cases were analysed. H&K was better than H&T with respect to contrast at low power, morphological details of cytoplasm, nucleus and acellular structures (p<0.001). The overall performance of H&K was better than H&T and was statistically highly significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Kumkum appears to be an efficient counterstain for demonstrating various structures in histopathology sections of cervix tissue. It may be considered as an unexplored archaic behooveful colourant. The utility of kumkum may be extended to study the histopathology of other tissues and organ systems in the body.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), one of the biggest puzzles in medicine. A number of drugs and therapies have been developed that affect the symptoms or change the severity and frequency of the seizures. Multiple sclerosis is of great social and economic importance to the world, due to the great invasion at early age. It affects the "young adults" in their creatively active period - between 10 and 50 years of age. Contrary to most allegations that pain is absent in MS patients, this is not the case. In the first periods of the disease, pain is almost absent, apart from the periodic manifestation of cramps, perceptions and all types of pain in the body, which at night interfere with sleep, provoke chronic fatigue and irritability (as they themselves have other mechanisms leading to the event their). However, some studies show that pain persists more frequently in women than in men. In most cases, disabling and immobilizing patients is exalted by their attempts to avoid pain. Physiotherapy is a basic tool for maintaining and improving the general condition of the patient. The study involved 22 patients with relapsing-remitting MS. The survey was conducted on the territory of Sofia - NSA "Vasil Levski", in the period from 01.09.2013 to 30.10.2015. The pain syndrome was evaluated in multiple sclerosis patients, at the beginning, the 10th procedure and the last procedure. For each patient in the experimental group, 20 procedures were performed within 10 weeks. The duration of the individual activity was 1 hour. The procedures for hippotherapy were a total of 16, each lasting 30 minutes. After the completion of the 10-week Physiotherapy program, each of the patients continues the hippotherapy courses on the Khan Asparuh horse base. The therapeutic program we have prepared and tested includes the following: Exercise with a large therapeutic ball (fitball); proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF); myofascial techniques (MFT); autogenous training (AT); hippo therapy (HT). During the study, the subsequent results showed a significant decrease in pain in the tested group. At the end of the study, the improvement of the indicators from the initial to the final study were seen. The statistical significance is less than or equal to 0.01, with the possibility of error being minimal. From the conclusions, it can be said that the methodology thus performed brings great positives in terms of pain reduction in women with multiple sclerosis who participated in the study.

Abstract Introduction. The high demands imposed by judo with regard to physical fitness can predispose athletes practising this sport to injury. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between the degree of functional limitations and performance outcomes in judo athletes. Material and methods. The study involved 23 judo athletes aged 17-27 years. For the purpose of carrying out comparative analyses, the judokas were divided into two groups according to their level of achievement. The first group consisted of medallists in international tournaments and Polish championships, and the second group was composed of non-medallists. The research tool used was the Functional Movement Screen test battery, which included seven exercise tests whose performance was rated on a scale from 0 to 3. Relationships between variables were assessed using Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients. Inter-group differences were determined by means of the Mann-Whitney U test, and differences between the left and right side of the body in bilateral tests were examined using the Wilcoxon test (statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05). Results. The total score for the FMS test was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in judo athletes who had a higher level of achievement. Scores below 14 points, which were indicative of high susceptibility to injury, were received by two athletes from the group of medallists and 8 non-medallists. Major asymmetries were not found in the subjects; significant differences were observed only in the shoulder mobility test in senior judokas (p < 0.05) and non-medallists (p < 0.01). Conclusions. Judo athletes who had better performance outcomes in competitions had higher scores in the FMS test. Functional limitations can have an impact on the outcomes of performance in judo; their degree is indicative of the quality of the movement as well as of susceptibility to injury.

The term ‘yoga’ refers to a heterogeneous matrix of philosophies and practices that originated in India and developed into a school of thought sometime between 150 and 500 C. E. Reinterpreted and redacted in multiple religious traditions over the course of its two-thousand-year history, yoga’s dynamic and discontinuous textual and performance traditions are far from monolithic. Modern yoga – a predominantly corporeal practice of postures and breathing techniques – developed in India in the 1920s and is not considered to be a direct successor of yoga’s classical or medieval traditions. Rather, modern yoga’s physical reinventions are emblematic of the accretions and innovations that attended India’s colonial and postcolonial relationship to transnational modernities. A reconfiguration of existing indigenous traditions vis-à-vis transnational influences, modern yoga is the embodiment of hybrid discourses including, but not limited to, the international physical culture movement; the growth of scientific and medicalized discourses of the body; Secularism; the doctrine of progress; Esotericism both in the East and the West; and transnational mobility and migrations of diaspora. In this way, modern yoga’s encounter with multiple modernities reshaped its theoretical and corporeal dispositions, forging a performance practice based on the individual accumulation of physical techniques for psychosomatic health, fitness, and personal development.

Abstract The number of vertebrae in snakes is highly variable both within and among species. Across ophidian taxa, the number of vertebrae has been linked to many aspects of ecology and performance. Herein, I test the hypothesis that variation in the number of vertebrae and the length of the anterior region of sea snakes are associated with foraging ecology. I predicted that sea snakes that invade burrows and crevices for prey would have relatively longer anterior regions as a result of a greater number of vertebrae. Using radiographs, I counted the number of vertebrae between the head and atria and between the atria and cloaca for 22 species of hydrophiine sea snakes. The length between the cranium and atria was positively associated with the frequency of burrowing prey consumed. The number of vertebrae in the pre-atrial region showed a positive association with diet, although the analysis only approached statistical significance. No association was observed between diet and the number of vertebrae between the atria and cloaca, indicating that heart position is constrained with respect to the cloaca. These data indicate that sea snakes specializing on burrowing prey have adapted elongated, anterior regions of the body through an increased number of vertebrae.
