AbstrakKajian ini membincangkan tentang kesan aktiviti mengokok dalam kalangan pengokok etak yang terdapat di Kelantan. Masalah gangguan otot Muscular telah dikenalpasti wujud dalam kalangan responden yang dikenali sebagai Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD), kesan daripada menggunakan peralatan “mengokok” yang diwarisi turun-temurun. Masalah seperti kelenguhan, kesakitan dan ketidakselesaan pada bahagian otot responden semasa aktiviti “mengokok” etak menjadi permasalahan utama bagi kajian ini. Kajian ini melibatkan tiga responden yang merupakan antara pengokok etak yang masih bergiat aktif di Kelantan. Kajian menggunakan metod temubual, pemerhatian dan thematic analysis untuk menganalisis dapatan kajian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahagian badan yang terjejas secara langsung akibat aktiviti “mengokok” dalam jangka masa yang panjang ialah pada bahagian tulang belakang (back spine) dan pergelangan tangan. Antara faktor-faktor yang menyumbangkan hazard adalah peralatan “mengokok” yang digunakan oleh responden. Hasil temubual menunjukkan, faktor postur memainkan peranan penting dalam hubungkait antara MSD dan masalah-masalah kesihatan yang dialami oleh responden.   AbstractThis study discusses the effects of etak harvesting activities among etak harvester found in Kelantan. Muscular Muscle Disorders is identified to exist among respondents as the effects of using harvester equipment for a prolonged time. Few difficulties have been identified such as lethargy, pain and discomfort in the muscles of the respondents during the activity of harvesting etak. This study involved three respondents who are among the etak harvester that are still active in Kelantan. The study adopted ethnographic approaches which are interviewmethods, observations, and Nordic Body Map analysis to analyze the  findings of the study. The findings of the study show that the parts of the body that are affected by the prolonged harvesting activities are the back spine and wrists. Among the factors that contributed to the hazard was the harvesting equipment used by the respondents. The results of the interviews showed that working posture plays an important role in probing the relationship between MSD and health problems experienced by the respondents.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health problem characterized by persistent obsessions and compulsions. This article provides insights into experiences of OCD through a qualitative, thematic analysis performed on a set of interviews with people with OCD. Four themes were found as central in the participants’ descriptions of OCD episodes: (a) space, (b) the body, (c) objects, and (d) interactions. The findings also show that episodes of OCD can be grouped into three broad categories: (a) activity episodes, which revolve around everyday tasks; (b) state episodes, which are concerned with the self and identity; and (c) object episodes, which are concerned with the effects of objects on the self. The relationship of this three-way classification of OCD episodes to existing cognitive models of OCD is discussed. The study also demonstrates the value of categorizing episodes, rather than people, into subtypes of OCD so that intra-participant variation can be highlighted.

UKM Kenanga is a home industry producing various cassava chips based in Kubu Raya district, West Kalimantan. Complaints regarding musculoskeletal were identified in the process of frying chips. The complaints were carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, neck pain, as well as on the forearm and upper arm. Non-ergonomic working position contributes to these complaints. Therefore, it is necessary to perform this analysis and suggest a tool that would be helpful to reduce the worker’s complaints. Formerly, there haven’t been any early studies that cover the design of an automatic stove for the frying process based on biomechanical considerations, particularly on musculoskeletal disorder complaints.This study performs an analysis based on Nordic Body Map (NBM) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) concerning the process of frying the chips. Nordic Body Map analysis was used to identify body parts that were experiencing fatigue. Following the Nordic Body Map results, the automatic stove was designed to solve the employees’ complaints. RULA approach was used to analyze the condition after the employees carried out the work using the stove. The outcomes of this study are an automatic solenoid stove and a stool for the process of chips frying. RULA approach on the frying process with the manual stove and with the automatic solenoid stove resulted in L4-LV compression level reduced by 71.05%, whereas for Flex/Ext Compression was 87.97%

Febrile convulsion often found in children 3-5 years old. This problem is a seizure that occurs when the body temperature rises and is caused by the extracranium process. This research was to decide the relationship between mother’s knowledge and management of febrile convulsion in children 1-5 years old in the Tengah village of Pancur Batu district 2020. This research is a cross-sectional study. We used to simple random sampling technique with 30 respondents. We used a questionnaire for the instrument. The final results showed that the majority of mother's knowledge regarding the management of febrile seizures was in the good category (86.7%) and the majority of febrile seizure management was in the category (90.0%). The results of chi-square statistical test show there is a relationship between knowledge of the mother with the handling of febrile seizures in children in the Tengah village of Pancur Batu District in 2020 (p value = 0,039). This study is expected to be an alternative for health workers to increase the promotion and prevention of problems related to the first treatment of febrile seizures. A person's knowledge is a factor that can influence a mother to take action, the better the mother's knowledge of diseases or health problems, the better the handling and vice versa, if the mother's knowledge is less, the handling of health problems will be better. Health education to the community will be a means to increase knowledge about handling health problems in the community.

The relationship between body height and body weight has been described by using various terms. Notable among them is the body mass index, body surface area, body shape index and body surface index. In clinical setting the first descriptive parameter is the BMI scale, which provides information about whether an individual body weight is proportionate to the body height. Since the development of BMI, two other body parameters have been developed in an attempt to determine the relationship between body height and weight. These are the body surface area (BSA) and body surface index (BSI). Generally, these body parameters are described as clinical health indicators that described how healthy an individual body response to the other internal organs. The aim of the study is to discuss the use of BSI as a better clinical health indicator for preclinical assessment of body-organ/tissue relationship. Hence organ health condition as against other body composition. In addition the study is `also to determine the best body parameter the best predict other parameters for clinical application. The model parameters are presented as; modeled height and weight; modelled BSI and BSA, BSI and BMI and modeled BSA and BMI. The models are presented as clinical application software for comfortable working process and designed as GUI and CAD for use in clinical application.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is an effective technique in managing risk within an organization strategically and holistically. Risk culture relates to the general awareness, attitudes and behaviours towards risk management in an organisation. This paper presents a conceptual model that shows the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation. The dependent variable is ERM implementation, which is measured by the four processes namely risk identification and risk assessment; risk treatment; monitor and consult; communicate and consult. The independent variables under risk culture are risk policy and risk appetite; key risk indicators; accountability; incentives; risk language and internal relationships. This study aims to empirically test the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation among Malaysian construction public listed companies. Risk culture is expected to have direct effects and significantly influence ERM. This study contributes to enhance the body of knowledge in ERM especially in understanding significant of risk culture that influence its’ implementation from Malaysian perspective.

This study intends to find out the mediating effect of organisational culture on the relationship between information system and sustainable performance of manufacturing sector in UAE. This study used AMOS-SEM software to develop mediation model that linking the mediating relationships between Information System, Organisational Culture and Sustainable operation Performance. Data was collected through questionnaire survey among the operation staff of Abu Dhabi manufacturing companies. A total 250 questionnaires were distributed however 205 were returned and only 200 are valid which indicates a response rate of 80%. The analysis found that TPS has positive but not significant effect to SP; OIS has positive but not significant effect to SP; FMW has a positive and significant effect on SP; SDS has a negative and not significant effect to SP and SP has positive but not significant effect OC. For the path relationship between the four exogenous variables (TPS, OIS, SDS, and FMW) and the mediator variable (OC), the results are TPS has positive and significant effect to OC; OIS has positive but not significant effect to OC; FMW has positive and significant effect to OC and SDS has positive and not significant effect to OC. Collectively, the five exogenous constructs (TPS, OIS, SDS, FMW and OC) explained 89% variation in operational performance and 86% of the variation in organisational culture. However, for a mediator, it was found that OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between TPS and SP; OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between OIS and SP; OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between SDS and SP and OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between FMW and SP. it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between information system dimensions and operational performance. However organizational culture has no contributing any mediating effect to the relationship. These findings have contributed to the body of knowledge and could be shared among the UAE manufacturing practitioners.

The relevance of the article is determined by the existence of contradictions between the need to introduce innovative technologies into the educational process at school, as an integral attribute of modern education, and the negative influence of factors on the physical and psycho-emotional state of health of students related to the use of information and communication tools (computers, phones, headphones). The goal of the study was to assess the relationship between the timing of the use of information and communication tools and the frequency of functional and psycho-emotional complaints in groups of middle and high school schoolchildren. 400 schoolchildren of the Saratov Region, the Moscow Region, Leningrad Region and the Republic of Dagestan were surveyed, who made up two groups of research: middle-school schoolchildren (grades 5–6) and high-school schoolchildren (grades 10–11 The survey was carried out by means of the standardized formalized cards which included the questions considering usage time of computers and mobile phones, complaints to a headache, hands pain, other pain and/or feeling of discomfort from visual organ and the organs of hearing, as well as a psycho-emotional state. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the STATISTICA application software program by StatSoft Inc (USA). To compare the frequencies of a binary feature, a fourfold table of absolute frequencies was constructed and the level of statistical significance for the exact Fisher’s two-tailed test criterion was determined. The study was conducted according to the requirements of bioethics, after signing informed consent statement by teenagers and their parents. The study examined the relationship between the timing of the use of information and communication tools and the frequency of complaints in groups of schoolchildren. The results of the study should be taken into account when developing and implementing preventive measures to prevent negative effects of computers and mobile devices on the body of students.

Nanoparticles Toxicity

We conducted a comparative assessment of the nickel oxide nanoparticles toxicity (NiO) of two sizes (11 and 25 nm) according to a number of indicators of the body state after repeated intraperitoneal injections of these particles suspensions. At equal mass doses, NiO nanoparticles have been found to cause various manifestations of systemic subchronic toxicity with a particularly pronounced effect on liver, kidney function, the body’s antioxidant system, lipid metabolism, white and red blood, redox metabolism, spleen damage, and some disorders of nervous activity allegedly related to the possibility of nickel penetration into the brain from the blood. The relationship between the diameter and toxicity of particles is ambiguous, which may be due to differences in toxicokinetics, which is controlled by both physiological mechanisms and direct penetration of nanoparticles through biological barriers and, finally, unequal solubility.

The Relationship

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.
