The present study aims to emphasize the role of pilates method in the improvement of the mobility of the spine in the anterior plane and the elasticity of the posterior muscles of the thigh. In this purpose, we have developed a set of appropriate exercises destined to obtain improved results of the spine mobility and muscle elasticity. Subsequent, we applied the exercises to a target group of woman and presented the comparation between the initial and final results. The interpretation of the mobility and elasticity test results are reported in the conclusions of the present study.

The digital clock drawing test is a fielded application that provides a major advance over existing neuropsychological testing technology. It captures and analyzes high precision information about both outcome and process, opening up the possibility of detecting subtle cognitive impairment even when test results appear superficially normal. We describe the design and development of the test, document the role of AI in its capabilities, and report on its use over the past seven years. We outline its potential implications for earlier detection and treatment of neurological disorders. We set the work in the larger context of the THink project, which is exploring multiple approaches to determining cognitive status through the detection and analysis of subtle behaviors.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Role of chest CT in diagnosis of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of chest CT when utilizing COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS). METHODOLOGY: Retrospective study including consecutive patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test (initial or repeat test) and chest CT done in our institute between June and September 2020. Spectrum of CT ndings, CO-RADS score and 25 point CT severity score (CTSS) were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 300 consecutive patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the analysis. Out of the 168 patients who underwent CT prior to positive RT-PCR result, 125 (74.4%) had CO-RADS 3, 4 or 5 score on chest CT. 32 study patients (10.6%) had initial negative RT-PCR of which 24 (75%) had CO-RADS 4 or 5 score. Of the total patients with CO-RADS 3 to 5 score (227), 20 (8.8%) had severe lung involvement (CTSS 18-25), 83 (36.6%) had moderate lung involvement (CTSS 8-17) and 124 (54.6%) had mild lung involvement (CTSS 1-7). The mean CTSS was 7.9 with mean lobar score being higher in lower lobes (RLL=1.82, LLL=1.78) compared to the upper and middle lobes (RUL=1.61, RML=1.19, LUL=1.53). CONCLUSION:CT using CO-RADS scoring system has good diagnostic performance. In addition to assessing disease severity, it plays a vital role in triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 especially when there is limited availability of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests, delay in RT-PCR test results or in negative RT-PCR cases when there is high index of clinical suspicion.

Abstrak: Dalam belajar matematika diperlukan pembelajaran yang dapat membangun pemahaman siswa yang didasarkan pada konsep-konsep dasar pemahaman yang dimiliki siswa itu sendiri. Oleh karenanya diharapkan guru mampu meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir dan memecahkan masalah peserta didik dalam Matematika khususnya pada materi program linear. Dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berdasarkan masalah (Problem-based Instruction) peran guru adalah mengajukan masalah, mengajukan pertanyaan, memberikan kemudahan suasana berdialog dalam proses pemblajaran. Dari hasil pembelajaran yang dilakukan, diperoleh skor nilai rata-rata hasil tes belajar siswa sebesar 78, dimana nilai ketuntasan belajar secara klasikal adalah sebesar 81% dan ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berdasarkan masalah dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada pokok bahasan program linear.Abstract: Learning mathematics requires learning that can build students' understanding based on the basic concepts of understanding possessed by the students themselves. Therefore the teacher is expected to be able to improve the ability to think and solve the problems of students in Mathematics, especially in linear program material. By applying a learning model based on a problem (Problem-based Instruction) the role of the teacher is to raise problems, ask questions, provide an atmosphere of dialogue in the learning process. From the results of the learning done, the average score of the student learning test results is 78, where the classical learning completeness value is 81% and this shows that applying problem based learning models can improve student learning outcomes in linear program material.
