Dance is the good form of exercise, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way to music and within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself which the body is capable. Though Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi may look similar to the untrained eye, there are many differences which affect the mechanics of movement among practitioners of both art forms. The purpose of this study is to assess the vo2 max of Bharatanatyam and kuchipudi dancers and to find out whether there is any difference in the vo2 max between both the dancers. Total of 30 subjects who met the inclusion criteria were taken for study; Group A (n=15) Bharatanatyam dancers. Group B (n=15) kuchipudi dancers. Queen’s college step test was used to assess the vo2 max. Pre and post-test heart rate was measured and vo2 max calculated. Statistical analysis was tested with t test at 95% level of significance (p<0.05). The result of the present study suggest that there is no significant difference in the aerobic capacity among Bharatanatyam (Group A) and Kuchipudi (Group B) Dancers when assessed with Queen’s College Step test. Key words: Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Cardio respiratory fitness, VO2 max, Queen’s college step test.

This research was intended to investigate the effect of a culture-based approach in improving students’ reading comprehension on spoof text. For that purpose, a true experimental study was applied to the eleventh-grade students of SMAN 1 Soreang. The sample of this study was 88 students from that school. These students were divided equally into the control and experimental group. The experimental group was given the Culture-Based Approach (CBA) as the treatment in comprehending the text.  The students’ scores of pre-test and post-test from both groups were statistically analyzed and compared by the T-test. The findings could be summarized that generally, students from the experimental group gained better achievement than from the control group on their post-test scores. The data analysis also showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of the pre-test (53.45) and the post-test (58.39.). Furthermore, the result of the t-test (5.707) was relatively higher than the t- table (2.018) for a 0.5 percent level of significance. It indicated that the students’ achievement was significantly improved after the treatment of using a Culture-Based Approach. Thus, it is recommended that a Culture-Based Approach should be considered as an alternative choice for English teachers in teaching spoof text.

Background: Coronary angiography is the most important and reliable test todiagnose coronary artery disease. Bed rest of few hours is advised after angiography to reducevascular complications but there is difference of opinion regarding duration of bed rest afterangiography. Objectives: To compare the frequency of vascular complications after 6 hoursof bed rest versus 3 hours of bed rest in patients undergoing femoral coronary angiography.Study Design: Experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Angiography Department,Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology, Faisalabad from August, 2017 to January, 2018. Methods:A total of 100 patients were divided in two equal groups, group A (interventional group (n=50),3 hours rest) and group B (routine care (n=50), 6 hours rest). A 6 French sheath was insertedunder local anesthesia by seldinger technique in femoral artery. Coronary angiography wasdone using 6 F angiography catheters. At the end of procedure sheaths were immediatelyremoved and manual pressure was applied for 15 minutes. Puncture site was observed forhematoma formation or bleeding every 30 minutes for 2 hours in angiography ward, afterwardsthese observations were made every hour till time of discharge. Patients were called for checkupin outpatient department next day and after 1 week. Results: Out of 50 patients in group A therewere 35 (70%) male and 15 (30%) female and in group B out of 50 patients there were 40 (80%)male and 10 (20%) female patients. In group A mean age was (51.02 ±9.57) years while in groupB mean age was (51.50±10.19) years. There was no significant difference in patients betweenthe two groups regarding their age, gender, body mass index (BMI), coagulation profile and useof antiplatelets. There was no incidence of pre ambulation bleeding, small or large hematoma inboth groups. Post ambulation bleeding occurred in 1(2%) patient in experimental group (GroupA) and in 1 (2%) patient in the control group (Group B). Small hematoma occurred in 2 (4%)patients in experimental group (Group A) and in 1(2%) patient of control group (Group B).There was no incidence of post ambulation large hematoma in both groups. Conclusion: Shortbed rest of 3 hours after femoral angiography does not increase the frequency of puncture sitecomplications.

This paper reports the findings of the implementation of full dictation and partial dictation in improving the awareness of using grammar knowledge in reconstructing listening texts among the EFL students at STBA (School of Foreign Languages) LIA Yogyakarta. Three groups participated in the study, i.e. two experimental groups (Group A and B) and a control group (Group C). A pre-test on listening to lectures was administered to the three groups. Over 9 sessions, Group C did the listening exercises in their textbook using dicto-comp technique, while in addition to the listening exercises which applied dicto-comp, the students in Group A was given full dictation exercises and Group B received partial dictation exercises. A post-test was given to the three groups after the ninth session. In addition to the post-test, a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire assessing the students responses to the dictation exercises was given to the experimental groups. Results of paired-samples tests indicated that there was a significant difference between each groups pre- and post-test. The mean gain score of Group B was higher than Group A showing that Group B had better improvement in the post-test. Furthermore, Group B had better grammar points in their post-test compared to Group A. Group C also increased their scores but they still got their teachers assistance to point out their grammatical mistakes in their notes. This suggests that the dictations given to the experimental groups improved the students awareness in applying their grammar knowledge to reproduce a listening text they heard.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the production results of pregnant gilts, grown under commercial farm conditions and moved from the sow keeping unit to the prefarrowing unit, could be increased by non-specific immunization with Baypamun© (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany; BPM), an immune response modifier (IRM). We used three groups of pregnant gilts that obtained different treatments. Non-treated group A served as control; two experimental groups were treated on Day 6, 4 and 2 (group B), or on Day 5, 3 and 1 (group C), respectively, before their transfer from the sow keeping unit to the prefarrowing unit. The experimental gilts received i.m. 2 ml of IRM BPM, i.e. inactivated Parapoxovis virus (1 x 106.75 TCID50). Throughout the trial, the numbers of liveborn and stillborn piglets and the duration of farrowing were recorded. Variance analysis with the type of treatment as independent variable showed a significant difference between control (group A) and experimental group B in the number of liveborn piglets (P < 0.0001) as well as between group A and group B (P < 0.0001) or group C (P < 0.0001) in the number of stillborn piglets, respectively. No differences in duration of farrowing between groups were recorded.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the frequency of playing a board game that simulates entrepreneurial experience called “Traders” on the university students’ resilience and self-esteem. Traders Board Game (TBG) was developed in 2015 with an aim to improve several entrepreneurship skills among young adults, and resilience being one of them. Pre and posttests of resilience have been done to 12 participants before they were divided into three groups: the control group, who did not play the game, the experimental group A, who played the game once a week for three weeks, and the experimental group B, who played the game twice a week for three weeks. Resilience was measured by adapting Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, whereas self-esteem was measured by utilizing Mruk two-dimensional Self-esteem scale. There was a statistically significant difference among the the three groups in resilience improvement, where the experimental group A scored the highest, and no significant difference was discovered in terms of self-eteem improvement. The results suggested that playing TBG in certain frequency significantly improves resilience among the participants.

Stroke is the third-largest common cause of death and is the leading cause of adult impairment. Shoulder subluxation is a common complication after a stroke and has always been a challenge, making the motor and functional recovery more complicated. Sixty-nine per cent of people affect with an arm in stroke, and the critical aim of stroke therapy is to recover their arm function. Motor impairments such as flaccidity and spasticity may make a patient functionally dependent on another person for their ADL, particularly in the upper extremity for a long time. Also, these motor impairments can address other problems such as subluxation of the shoulder and pain. To evaluate the effect of NDT along with FES in the management of shoulder dysfunction following stroke. A quasi-experimental study involved 70 consecutive subjects age (30-60 years) affected by stroke recruited in the study. They are divided into two groups Group A (experimental group, N=35) and Group B (control group, N=35). Group A received NDT along with FES, and Group B received NDT treatment. Treatment was given five days a week for six weeks. The analysis of the study showed a statistically significant difference in shoulder pain, and subluxation in the experimental group (Group A) compared to the control group (Group A). FES is effective in reducing shoulder pain and subluxation early after stroke. Hence NDT along with FES is more effective than NDT alone.
