Circulating Leptin, Insulin and Thyroid Profile Levels in Different Age Groups of Women Population of Manipur, India

Background: Age is linked to a number of hormonal disorders. This study was designed to look for changes in leptin, insulin, and thyroid profile concentrations in women of various ages. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Regional Insititute of Medical Sciences, Imphal. Female subjects (350 participants) between the ages of 20 and 65 were recruited. Subjects were grouped as pre-menopause (< 40 age), menopause (≥ 40 to < 50 age) and post-menopause (≥ 50 age). Blood samples were separated serum and estimated levels of leptin, insulin and thyroid profile levels. Statistical calculation was done using SPSS software version 26, at P < 0.05 as significant. Results: Body mass index (BMI) had significant changes in different age groups (P < 0.05), but the levels were not in the higher range of BMI. Serum levels of leptin, insulin, T4 (thyroxine) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) were found no significant differences among the different age groups. Conclusion: Study demonstrates that age has no effect on the levels of leptin, insulin, T4, and TSH in this Manipuri women's group.

ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF BANKSY IMAGE IN IMPROVING STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL

This study aims to improve students’ Writing abilities using Bansky Image. The method used in research is a quantitative method with Pre Experimental as a research design. Both pre-test and post-test used as the instruments in collecting the data. The writer used one classes of the tenth grade of MA Al Fathiyah, Jakarta Timur, for the population. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling, in which one class was determined as experimental and the control class. The data was analyzed statistically by using a t-test. The result of this analysis indicated that the average value of the students was 75.7, the statistical calculation showed that the results of to (t-observation)> tt (t-table) in which to obtained was 25.357 while the value of tt was 2.037 with a significant level of 5% (0.05), since, to was higher than tt. Therefore alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted while null hypothesis was rejected. From these analysis results, this research summarized that Banksy Image was an effective medium to improve students’ Writing skills.

Statistical Calculation Method and Analysis of Athletes’ Biorhythm State and Sports Injury

In recent years, attention has been focused on the prevention and treatment of sports injuries. However, no athlete injury prevention system has been established. Athletes’ injury prevention has become an important research field, but it is still used in current sports injury statistics. Traditional calculation methods are difficult to meet the requirements of modern halo. In order to understand the relationship between the athlete’s biorhythm state and the statistical calculation method of sports injury and to reduce the damage caused by sports injury to athletes, we have carried out statistics on various physical parameters of athletes in a certain university in this city through example analysis and creatively introduced the statistical calculation method of the fault tree, and the corresponding results provide a certain research foundation for the subsequent research. The research results in this article prove that formulating a suitable sport mode for athletes can improve their athletic ability by more than 10%, reduce damage to athletes, and extend their professional life. Generally speaking, athletes’ injuries can be reduced by more than 15%. This shows that appropriate injury statistics calculation methods and research on sports injury prevention in advance are extremely important for athletes.

LONGER MASTICATION CYCLES TEND TO LOWER POST-PRANDIAL BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic syndrome occurred because of the lack of insulin hormone secretion or some factors disturbing insulin hormone or both of them. The mastication cycle is one of the factors related to the increasing in blood glucose. The research aims to analyse the relation between mastication cycle and DM risk factor on Faculty of Medicine students, Universitas Islam Bandung. The methodology was an experimental study. The subjects were 18 male Faculty of Medicine, Unisba, who fulfil the inclusive and exclusive criteria. First, scanning was conducted to know DM risk by questioners. Those students were divided into three groups of mastication cycle (15,30,45 cycle). Each group consisted of six students. The result showed that the tendency of average blood sugar was lower in the group with 45 cycles of mastication, compared to 30 and 15 cycles (86.5 vs 89.5 vs 92 mg/dL). However, according to a statistical calculation, there was no significant relationship between the mastication cycle and blood glucose (P =0.413; P>0.05). The average blood insulin level of 45 times the mastication cycle was the lowest compared to 30 and 15 mastication cycles (2.44 vs 2.97 vs 3.58 µg/ml). The result was that the mastication cycle was longer than the initial insulin release to work in the cell more effectively. In conclusion, DM needs to do more cycle in mastication food to maintain glucose in the blood.

Pedagogical aspects of the development of teacher’s digital competence

The article defines the criteria and levels of manifestation of digital competence, presents the experience of forming the digital competence of a HEIs modern teacher. The purpose of the study is to identify a mobile system of pedagogical aspects, based on which the digital diagrams of HEIs teachers are formed. The article describes the concept of "digital competence" in pedagogy, sociology, psychology, teaching methods. Empirical (observation, experiment, comparison), qualimetric (statistical calculation), and modeling (model creation, forecasting) methods were used to form the methodological base. It is established that the concept of digital competence of the teacher is an integral element in the learning environment of the HEIs, which is based on the basic pedagogical aspects. The practical significance of the intelligence results is directed to the implementation of the provisions of the digitizer model.

ANISOTROPY OF THE SURFACE OF CUBIC BODY-CENTERED CRYSTAL LATTICES

In the work of Shebzukhova and Arefieva, by the method of electronic-statistical calculation of the anisotropy of the surface energy of metals, a method for estimating the work function of electrons from a metal was determined. The surface energy and electron work function of four main faces of cadmium and zinc crystals and five faces of mercury are estimated. In the work of Bokarev, the anisotropy of the surface energy of single crystals was calculated from the model of coordination melting of crystals. Based on experimental studies and theoretical calculations, it is shown that the model of coordination melting of crystals unambiguously links the physicochemical properties of the surface of single crystals with their crystal structure. In our proposed empirical model, not only the anisotropy is calculated, but also the thickness of the surface layer of the metal. It is shown that the thickness of the surface layer is determined by one fundamental parameter - the molar (atomic) volume, which periodically changes in accordance with the table of D.I. Mendeleev. It is shown in the work that the work function of electrons changes proportionally with a change in the surface energy of the metal. This means that the device we have developed can be used to measure the state of the metal surface and its anisotropy.

Using the subject ontology of the unified digital space of scientific knowledge in scientometric tasks

The Formation of a Common digital space of scientific knowledge (CDSSK) is one of the priorities of the modern period and involves the use of unified approaches to the selection of information, its presentation, navigation, and terminological content. When constructing an subject ontology of the scientific direction — «Microbiology» — we applied a method of statistical calculation of the frequency distribution of keywords (KW) in information arrays formed as a result of thematic search for information on Microbiology. We assume that the frequency of KW occurrence can be considered as indicator of the scientific topic development intensity. The results of the study show that the size of the pool of keywords in categories can serve as an indicator that shows the breadth of the spectrum of research diversity, methods and objects: the more keywords in a category, the greater the diversity of research directions.
