Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: The quality of sleep in elderly tend to decline. This occurs as a result of certain changes such as physical, biological, mental and socio-economic. The quality of sleep may influence the healthcondition for short or long terms. Poor quality of sleep may cause difficulty in concentrating, slow response, memory disturbance and decrease of performance in daily life. The decline of sleep qualitymay be resolved with Jacobson’s Progressive Muscular Relaxation (JPMR) exercise. Objective: To analyze the effect of Jacobson’s Progressive Muscular Relaxation on sleep quality inelderly at Budi Agung Social Institution. Methods: This study is a pre experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. The subject ofthis study were the 19 elderly at Budi Agung Social Institution. In this study, JPMR exercise was done in5 days. Sleep quality before and after JPMR exercise was measured using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) questionnair. The data obtained was analyzed using McNemar test. Results: From a total of 19 subjects, 3 subjects had good sleep quality while 16 subjecst had poor sleepquality. On the other hand, after the JPMR excercise, improved sleep qualiy was found in the 16 subjectswhile the 3 subjects still had poor sleep quality; bivariate analysis p value = 0.002 (p <0.05). Conclusion: Jacobson’s Progressive Muscular Relaxation (JPMR) has a significant effect on sleepquality in elderly at Budi Agung Social Institution.

Abstract: Background: The term AIDS refers only to the last stage of the HIV infection. AIDS can be called as our modern pandemic affecting both industrialized and developing countries. Objectives: To assess the anxiety and depression among people living with HIV as measured by HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), to determine the effectiveness of JPMR in terms of reduction in the mean posttest anxiety and depression scores, to find the association of anxiety and depression among people living with HIV with selected demographic and disease specific variables. Materials and Methods: one group pre test and post test design was used. 30 people living with HIV who were admitted at ART center, District Hospital, Udupi were selected and different scales on anxiety and depression scale for people living with HIV were administered. Purposive sampling technique was used for the study. Results: Out of 30 subjects, 13.30% (4) experienced abnormal anxiety and 16.7% (5) abnormal depression. There was significance difference between mean difference of pretest and post test scores of anxiety (t=8.471, df=29, p=0.001) and depression (t=6.811, df=29, p=0.001). Anxiety is independent of the selected variables (Demographic and disease specific). Depression is dependent on previous history of psychiatric illness (÷2=6.584, df =2, p=0.037). Conclusion: JPMR is a simple non-invasive, cost effective method. The result showed that JPMR training had a positive effect in reducing the anxiety and depression and JPMR can be used as an effective alternative therapy.

Abstract:
Introduction: In the last few decades, the prevalence of hypertension has been drastically increased in India. Hypertension is defined by the presence of a chronic elevation of systemic arterial pressure above a certain threshold value. Proper management of hypertension may require both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Aerobic exercise and Jacobson’s Progressive Muscular relaxation (JPMR) technique both are Non-pharmacological interventions for reducing blood pressure. Method: Interventional study was done by Random sampling method and conducted on 20 hypertensive subjects. Subject willing to participate, age group 20-55 year both male and female and blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg were included. Subjects not able to understand, psychologically unstable, systemic illness and subject who were not regularly taking medications were excluded. 20 hypertensive subjects, randomly divided into 2 groups. The first group was asked to do 5 sessions of Aerobic exercise for 30-45 minutes per week for 4 week and the second group was asked to do 5 sessions of JPMR for 30 minutes per week for 4 week. In both the groups pre and post systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured in sitting position. Subjective results were established. Results: Statistical analysis was done using SPSS16. There was statistically significant difference between pre and post value of SBP (p<0.05), DBP (p<0.05) in both groups, but the aerobic exercise showed more significant results as compared to the JPMR. Conclusion: Hence it can be concluded that Aerobic Exercise is more effective in hypertensive than Jacobson’s Progressive Muscular relaxation technique. Keywords: Aerobic Exercise, Jacobson’s Progressive Muscular relaxation technique (JPMR), hypertension

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Previously, both psychological and yogic relaxation techniques have shown a reduction in anxiety and also an improvement in cognition and mental health. In authors’ knowledge, no study has been conducted to assess the immediate effects of the Jacobson Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) on attention and psychological states. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess the immediate effects of the JPMR and listening to Om Chanting on the attention and psychological states, i.e,., (i) happiness, (ii) anger, (iii) emotional stability, and (iv) positivity among university students. Design: The research design used in this study is a randomized controlled design. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 90 university students with ages 18­23 years (mean ± standard deviation: 21.5 ± 2.3 years) were randomized into three intervention groups, i.e,. JPMR, listening to Om Chanting and quiet sitting (QS) as a control group. The time duration for each intervention was 20 min. Each participant was assessed for (a) attention using six-letter cancellation test and (b) psychological states, i.e,. (i) happiness, (ii) anger, (iii) emotional stability, and (iv) positivity using the Visual Analog Scale, before and after all three interventions. Paired t-test was performed to compare before and after values of each variable of the participants. Results: Twenty-minute practice of JPMR improved psychological states such as (i) happiness (p < 0.05), (ii) emotional stability (p < 0.05), and (iii) positivity (p < 0.01). In addition, both attention and anger levels were reduced after 20 min of listening to Om Chanting (p < 0.01, respectively). In addition, QS reduced the attention level of the participants (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Findings of the present study suggest that the 20 min of practice of progressive muscle relaxation techniques as a psychological relaxation technique improves psychological states such as the levels of happiness, emotional stability, and positivity whereas 20 min of listening to Om Chanting showed a reduction in the scores of anger and attention.

Abstract:
Background: Hypertension is a condition of an increase in blood pressure from the normal range of 120/80 mmHg. If there is no action is taken to reduce blood pressure, it can lead to serious complications. Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation can be used as an action in reducing high blood pressure. Aims of this study is to analize effect of Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation to decrease blood pressure. Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental method and a sample of 16 respondents. JPMR Therapy is carried out for three weeks with three times each week. The action is carried out for 30 minutes. Blood pressure measured by spyghnomanometer before and after intervention. Results: the result of this intervention showed a P-Value is 0,0001, which means blood pressure decreases after intervention. Conclusions: This intervention is proven to be a complementary therapy for hypertension suffers. For this intervention to have the maximum results for blood pressure reduction, patients must routinely intervene every day along with the ingestion of the drug. The need for more research is how long normal blood pressure persists with JPMR.

Abstract: Problem: Epidemiologic studies show that social anxiety is among the most prevalent of all mental disorders and very less attention has been given to this area. Methods: The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify the adolescents with social anxiety and teach the JPMR technique to those who would score high on social anxiety scale. The data were collected from 193 high school adolescents using Demographic Proforma, Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescent and Tool to Assess the Associated Factors of Social Anxiety. The JPMR technique was administered to the adolescents with moderate to severe social anxiety. Findings: The study found that 52(27%) adolescents were having moderate social anxiety and there was significant association 2 (x2=15.297, p<0.05) between age of the adolescents and social anxiety. The significant related factors of social anxiety were parental strictness, parental conflict, teacher's strictness, peer rejection, troubled with appearance and being treated differently from siblings by parents. The Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique was found to be effective (t =10.646, df= 39, p=0.001) in reducing the social anxiety. Conclusion: Social anxiety is common among adolescents and many modifiable factors related to parents and teachers are associated with it. Appropriate interventions in an early time may help them to reduce it.

Abstract:
Abstract People living with HIV/AIDS experience a variety of complex problems, not only physical problems related to the condition of HIV disease, but also psychosocial problems related to HIV disclosure, stigma, social isolation and discrimination that can cause anxiety and cause high stress levels.The conditions will gave the negative impact on both physical and mental health. The negative impact of stress can lead to depression, giving rise to an attitude of non-compliance with treatment, increased risk behavior for HIV transmission and faster disease progression, which in turn will worsen the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS. Several studies have been conducted to found appropriate interventions to reduce stress levels in people with HIV/AIDS. This article is a literature review of several interventions to reduce stress levels in people with HIV/AIDS, included Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Reiki therapy. Literature search was carried out from databases such as Pubmed, EBSCOhost, Scopus, Proquest, Sciene Direct, with limited years of article publication in the last 10 years (2008-2018). Based on the review, it was found that Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) intervention; Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Reiki Therapy shows very significant results in decreasing stress levels in people with HIV conducted in three studies with different interventions.

Abstract:
Crinum jagus is used in Cameroon western and eastern regions folk medicine in detoxification, the management of diabetes and obesity and also as antivenomous and antipoison. The aim of this work was to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of Crinum jagus extracts on male and female Wistar rats. Subchronic toxicity of aqueous and hydroéthanolic Crinum jagus extracts was determined on two month old normal Wistar rats. Those rats, once daily orally received, hydroethanolic (75, 150 mg/kg b.w.) and aqueous (150 mg/kg b.w.) extracts, during 90 days (tree month). In both males and females animals, the C. jagus effects were investigated on the evolution of weight, food and water intakes, kidney and liver functioning markers (serum total cholesterol (TC), total proteins, creatinine and transaminase: AST and ALT). Both aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts in males as in females, did not cause any adverse changes in anthropometric (body mass, relative weight of liver and kidneys, food and water intakes) and seric parameters (total cholesterol, total proteins, creatinine AST and ALT activity). Instead, those extracts remarkably improved antropometric parameters, liver and kidney function and even protect again atherosclerosis. The results indicated that aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Crinum jagus did not induce toxic effect at the doses used in long term treatment; thus justifying its empiric use in detoxification and as antivenomous.

Abstract:
Rauwolfia vomitoria is used in Cameroon in indigenous medicine to treat liver diseases. The present study was carried out on the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of the plant aqueous extract. Liver toxicity was induced by oral route administration of CCl4 two times per week for four weeks. Rats were given concomitantly by oral route, aqueous extract at the doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg or silymarin four days a week for four weeks. By the end, bloods were collected for liver functional parameters analyses. Liver tissues were removed, to assess to oxidative stress parameters and histological analyses. The extract (300 mg/kg) decreased enzyme activity of ALT, AST and the level of TG with the percentage 54.23%, 49.63% and 28.74% respectively while it increased the enzyme activity of SOD, CAT and level of MDA at about 67.16%, 71.42% and 43.80% respectively compared to control animals. These results suggested that aqueous extract has strong hepatoprotective effect on CCl4-induced liver damage and increase antioxidant defense system activity.

Abstract:
Many theories have been proposed to explain why candidate disease-modifying drugs (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) failed. Late initiation of treatments during AD development, inappropriate drug dosages, incorrect selection of main therapeutic targets, and primarily inadequate understanding of the complex pathophysiology of AD are the most prominent ones. Reduced expression of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is essential in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. BDNF plays important functions in cell survival and differentiation, neuronal outgrowth and plasticity. It can be a novel target for the treatment of the disease. In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus, parietal, entorhinal, and frontal cortex all have the most extreme BDNF deficits. Lower levels of BDNF can be linked to neuronal death, masking any gene-related effects. High BDNF levels have been attributed to a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's. Improvements in BDNF levels imparted by exercise, plant based drugs, trkB receptor agonist and BDNF enhancer drug have been proved to enhance cognitive performance. Plant-based products and nutraceuticals can boost BDNF levels. Polyphenols are essential plant compounds with a wide range of therapeutic potentials. Flavonoids like calycosin, genistein, isorhamnetin, and luteolin have been shown to affect the level of BDNF. Curcumin, a compound derived from spice turmeric (curcuma longa), has a variety of biological functions in the brain, including antidepressant properties which also increase BDNF level in the hippocampus. Riluzole is used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a depression model with chronic corticosteroid intake, riluzole also restores hippocampal BDNF levels. Evidence indicates that BDNF deficiency plays a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Drugs used to treat Alzheimer's disease have the unintended property of modulating BDNF levels in brain regions specifically involved in the disease's pathophysiology. The discovery of molecules that precisely control BDNF in particular cellular phenotypes could increase the effectiveness of therapy against AD.

Abstract:
This study evaluated the in vivo curative and antacid effects of MY41g clay on chronic and “unhealed" gastric ulcers in rats. Chronic gastric ulcers were induced by injecting 0.05 mL of acetic acid (30%) into the stomach wall. From day 5-14 after induction of ulcers, rats were treated daily with MY41g clay (125 and 250 mg/kg). For “Unhealed" gastric ulcers, from day 5-18 rats received MY41g clay orally concomitantly with indomethacin (1 mg/kg/day) subcutaneously. The ulcer index, percentage of healing, mucus secretion, histological parameters, oxidative stress parameters and gastric acidity were assessed. Treatment with clay solution for 10 days resulted in accelerated spontaneous healing of chronic gastric ulcers (83.69-90.2%). However, indomethacin administration did not induce significant variations in the percentage of healing (89.23-91.66%) in rats. For both ulcer models performed, ulcer healing was accompanied by a significant increase (p<0.001) of mucus secretion at the highest dose. Clay increased concentrations of antioxidant enzymes and decreased gastric acidity and lipid peroxidation. Administration of clay accelerated the spontaneous healing of both induction models. The mode of action of the clay could involve increased gastric mucus production, gastric mucosal re-epithelialization, improved antioxidant status and gastric acid neutralization. MY41g clay can be used as antacids in the ulcer treatment regime.

Abstract:
Preserving mental health during the COVID-19 crisis should be a priority for individuals worldwide. In this regard, mental health professionals should advise the general public on the actions/activities that they can take to prevent mental health issues from becoming the next pandemic. However, the general public should also actively take measures to improve their mental wellbeing. Music therapy, aromatherapy or indoor nature therapy may or may not have the potential to preserve mental wellbeing, but individuals should experiment with them to ascertain the effects on themselves. Moreover, the guidelines provided by WHO should also be adhered to, as a healthy mind starts with a healthy body.

Abstract:
Phytochemicals, the natural biochemical substances produced by plants possess a range of medicinal values. These phytochemicals get into our system through food and bring different physiological benefits. However, many of these phytochemicals lack essential physicochemical properties that can provide them effective drug-likeness properties. Vinca rosea alkaloids are known for their therapeutic values especially in the cancer treatment domain. However, the physiochemical properties of these molecules limit their bioavailability greatly. This current research aimed at improving the bioavailability of Vinca rosea alkaloids through the nanovector system, niosomes. Vinca alkaloids were extracted, purified, screened and quantified. Niosomal constructs of the alkaloids were made, characterized through scanning electron microscope and ex-vivo studies were carried out using goat intestine. The size of the niosomes was found to be in the range of 400 to 800 nm. Results shows that niosomal formulation can increase bioavailability of Vinca rosea alkaloids two folds compared to the native alkaloid extract.

This present work aimed to assess the subacute toxicity of the total aqueous extract of the dry bark of Albizia ferruginea in rats. Subacute toxicity was done in accordance with 2008 OECD Guideline 407, for oral toxicity at a daily dose for 28 days in rodents. The animals were divided into six groups of 10 rats each (5 males and 5 females). One control group received 10 mL/kg of distilled water, three groups received 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of extract respectively, one satellite control group and one satellite treated group received 10 mL/kg of distilled water and 800 mg/kg extract respectively. After 28 days of treatment, the satellite groups were left under observation without treatment for an additional 14 days. Behavior, body weight and death rate were monitored during the experimental period. The relative weight of some organs, hematological and biochemical parameters and the histopathological study of the liver, kidneys and lungs were evaluated at the end of the experiment. There were no significant effects on body weight gain and the relative weight of organs investigated. At the 800 mg/kg dose, there was a significant increase in the level of monocytes by 26.53%; the mean corpuscular hemoglobin content (MCHT) of 18.18%; and in the corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) of 20.70 %, only in male rats. ALT and ASAT activity were increased significantly in both male and female rats. These increases were not seen in satellite treated rats. The histology of the organs investigated showed no difference when comparing the treated rats to the control rats. The subacute toxicity study of total aqueous extract of the dry bark of Albizia ferruginea did not show any signs of significant toxicity for parameters studied in rats.

Abstract:
Objective. To analyze the active compounds, potential targets, and diseases of JianPi Fu Recipe (JPFR) based on network pharmacology and bioinformatics and verify the potential biological function and mechanism of JPFR in vitro and in vivo. Methods. Network pharmacology databases including TCMSP, TCM-PTD, TCMID, and DrugBank were used to screen the active compounds and potential drug targets of JPFR. Cytoscape 3.7 software was applied to construct the interaction network between active compounds and potential targets. The DAVID online database analysis was performed to investigate the potential effective diseases and involved signaling pathways according to the results of the GO function and KEGG pathways enrichment analysis. To ensure standardization and maintain interbatch reliability of JPFR, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used to establish a “chemical fingerprint.” For biological function validation, the effect of JPFR on the proliferation and migration of CRC cells in vitro was investigated by CCK-8 and transwell and wound healing assay, and the effect of JPFR on the growth and metastasis of CRC cells in vivo was detected by building a lung metastasis model in nude mice and in vivo imaging. For the potential mechanism validation, the expressions of MALAT1, PTBP-2, and β-catenin in CRC cells and transplanted CRC tumors were detected by real-time PCR, western blot, and immunohistochemical staining analysis. Results. According to the rules of oral bioavailability (OB) > 30% and drug-likeness (DL) > 0.18, 244 effective compounds in JPFR were screened out, as well as the corresponding 132 potential drug targets. By the analysis of DAVID database, all these key targets were associated closely with the cancer diseases such as prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, multiple signaling pathways were closely related to JPFR, including p53, Wnt, PI3K-Akt, IL-17, HIF-1, p38-MAPK, NF-κB, PD-L1 expression and PD-1 checkpoint pathway, VEGF, JAK-STAT, and Hippo. The systematical analysis showed that various active compounds of JPFR were closely connected with Wnt/β-catenin, EGFR, HIF-1, TGFβ/Smads, and IL6-STAT3 signaling pathway, including kaempferol, isorhamnetin, calycosin, quercetin, medicarpin, phaseol, spinasterol, hederagenin, beta-sitosterol, wighteone, luteolin, and isotrifoliol. For in vitro experiments, the migration and growth of human CRC cells were inhibited by the JPFR extract in a dose-dependent way, and the expression of MALAT1, PTBP-2, β-catenin, MMP7, c-Myc, and Cyclin D1 in CRC cells were downregulated by the JPFR extract in a dose-dependent way. For in vivo metastasis experiments, the numbers of lung metastasis were found to be decreased by the JPFR extract in a dose-dependent manner, and the expressions of metastasis-associated genes including MALAT1, PTBP-2, β-catenin, and MMP7 in the lung metastases were downregulated dose dependently by the JPFR extract. For the orthotopic transplanted tumor experiments, the JPFR extract could inhibit the growth of orthotopic transplanted tumors and downregulate the expression of c-Myc and Cyclin D1 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the JPFR extract could prolong the survival time of tumor-bearing mice in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions. Through effective network pharmacology analysis, we found that JPFR contains many effective compounds which may directly target cancer-associated signaling pathways. The in vitro and in vivo experiments further confirmed that JPFR could inhibit the growth and metastasis of CRC cells by regulating β-catenin signaling-associated genes or proteins.

Jinnah Post graduate medical Centre (JPMC) is on the biggest public hospitals of Pakistan, serves 1.2 million patients annually, 4,38,000 patients examined in the emergency department alone. Most of health services & treatments are low cost at JPMC and affordable for everyone. However, over the past few years the number of patients in emergency as well as Outpatient department has substantially increased causing stress on physical, human and financial resources. The number of patients has increased by two folds in the last decade. These number are continuously increasing and over burden to available infrastructure is a hindrance in the way of quality medical care. A study conducted in the department of chest medicine of JPMC revealed that among 120 tuberculosis patients, almost 50% (60) died during hospitalization. Delayed treatment, absence of smear records were among the major prognostic factors. Limited resources coupled with poor management results in compromised health care.

Abstract:
Basically, humans are social creatures that can’t live without interference from other humans, or it can be said that humans have the instinct to live in groups or communities. Groups or communities are formed because of shared goals and the existence of group communication between members in them. Along with advancement in technology, especially in the digital era at this time, groups or communities are not only intertwined in the real world but also in cyberspace or virtual. Virtual communities use social media to carry out group communication in it. This study aims to determine the use of virtual communities as communication media for Pokemon Go game groups in Jakarta, namely Jakarta Pogo Raiders (JPR) through social media Instagram and WhatsApp. This research uses a qualitative approach, researcher use the literature review and in-depth interviews methods with informants including initiators and members of the JPR community. The results of the study indicate that the group communication media used such as Instagram and WhatsApp groups are very effectives in delivering information between community members. The message construction conveyed through social media is understood and understood by all members of the JPR community. The success of JPR in utilizing social media as a media for group communication is marked by the comfort felt by members to remain and join the JPR community. Consciously and voluntarily they join the JPR community by taking benefits that they have gained while in that community. Another success is marked by the increasing number of community members who have joined JPR to date. Pada dasarnya manusia adalah makhluk sosial yang tidak bisa hidup tanpa adanya campur tangan dari manusia lainnya, atau bisa dikatakan manusia memiliki naluri untuk hidup berkelompok atau berkomunitas. Kelompok atau komunitas terbentuk karena adanya kesamaan tujuan dan adanya komunikasi kelompok antar anggota di dalamnya. Seiring dengan berkembang pesatnya teknologi khususnya di era digital pada saat ini, kelompok atau komunitas tidak hanya terjalin di dunia nyata saja tetapi juga di dunia maya atau virtual. Komunitas virtual menggunakan media sosial untuk melakukan komunikasi kelompok di dalamnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemanfaatan komunitas virtual sebagai media komunikasi kelompok game Pokemon Go yang berada di Jakarta, yaitu Jakarta Pogo Raiders (JPR) melalui media sosial Instagram dan Whatsapp. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, peneliti menggunakan metode tinjauan pustaka dan wawancara mendalam dengan informan di antaranya penggagas dan anggota komunitas JPR.

Abstract:
Abstract The joint probability method (JPM) is the traditional way to determine the base flood elevation due to storm surge, and it usually requires simulation of storm surge response from tens of thousands of synthetic storms. The simulated storm surge is combined with probabilistic storm rates to create flood maps with various return periods. However, the map production requires enormous computational cost if state-of-the-art hydrodynamic models with high-resolution numerical grids are used; hence, optimal sampling (JPM-OS) with a small number of (~ 100–200) optimal (representative) storms is preferred. This paper presents a significantly improved JPM-OS, where a small number of optimal storms are objectively selected, and simulated storm surge responses of tens of thousands of storms are accurately interpolated from those for the optimal storms using a highly efficient kriging surrogate model. This study focuses on Southwest Florida and considers ~ 150 optimal storms that are selected based on simulations using either the low fidelity (with low resolution and simple physics) SLOSH model or the high fidelity (with high resolution and comprehensive physics) CH3D model. Surge responses to the optimal storms are simulated using both SLOSH and CH3D, and the flood elevations are calculated using JPM-OS with highly efficient kriging interpolations. For verification, the probabilistic inundation maps are compared to those obtained by the traditional JPM and variations of JPM-OS that employ different interpolation schemes, and computed probabilistic water levels are compared to those calculated by historical storm methods. The inundation maps obtained with the JPM-OS differ less than 10% from those obtained with JPM for 20,625 storms, with only 4% of the computational time.

Abstract:
This research aims to investigate the effect of green supply chain management (GSCM) on the competitive advantage (CA) of Jordanian pharmaceutical manufacturing (JPM) organizations. Data were collected by questionnaires from managers who were working in JPM organizations, then checked and coded against SPSS. After confirming the tool validity, reliability, and relationship between variables, the hypotheses were tested by multiple regressions. The results show that JPM organizations implement green purchasing and green selling, while weakly implementing green operations. At the same time, for CA dimensions, the results show that JPM organizations are more concerned with quality, speed (time), and reliability than cost reduction and innovation. Moreover, the results show that the relationship between GSCM and CA is very strong. The results also show that green supply chain components affect the CA of JPM organizations, where green operations have the highest effect on total CA, followed by green purchasing and finally, green selling. Additionally, the green supply chain affects CA dimensions of JPM organizations, where GSCM has the highest effect on quality, followed by innovation, then time, while GSCM does not have any significant effect on reliability and cost.

Abstract:
Vários fatores devem ser considerados na avaliação da eficiência de um entomopatógeno no controle de um inseto-praga. Com relação aos nematóides entomopatogênicos, além da patogenicidade e virulência, é importante conhecer a capacidade de busca, pois quanto maior sua eficiência, maior a chance de encontro com o hospedeiro. Assim, neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o deslocamento vertical de nematóides entomopatogênicos (Heterorhabditis), visando ao controle da cochonilha-da-raiz-do-cafeeiro Dysmicoccus texensis (Tinsley). Para avaliação em laboratório, foi feito teste em coluna de areia de 5 cm (em delineamento inteiramente casualizado) onde os isolados CCA e JPM3 foram aplicados em suspensão aquosa no topo da coluna em três concentrações (50, 100 e 500 JIs/inseto), com avaliação da mortalidade após 5 dias. No experimento de coluna de solo, foi usada uma coluna de 25 cm, composta por cinco extratos de 5 cm. Foram utilizados dois isolados (CCA e JPM3) e dois métodos de aplicação: cadáver infectado e suspensão aquosa, ambos avaliados nas diferentes profundidades. O experimento foi conduzido num delineamento fatorial 3x2x5, em condições de casa-de-vegetação. No experimento de coluna de areia, não houve diferença entre os isolados avaliados e ambos alcançaram valor de 92% de mortalidade. No experimento de deslocamento em coluna de solo, observou-se que JPM3 foi mais eficiente que CCA, nos dois métodos de aplicação avaliados. Quanto aos métodos de aplicação, o de suspensão aquosa apresentou melhores resultados para os dois isolados, e JPM3 aplicado em suspensão aquosa, foi o melhor tratamento em quase todas as profundidades avaliadas.

Abstract:
There is considerable international interest in Japanese production management (JPM), known in the West as “lean production.” Advocates of this new form of management argue that it improves both economic productivity and health. In Japan, however, the relationship between JPM and sudden death due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease has been an important topic of debate since the 1970s. Japanese have named these types of deaths karoshi, which means “death from overwork.” In North America and Western Europe a number of studies have demonstrated a significant relationship between high job strain (high production demands and low levels of control and social support) and cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the elements of JPM and examines their potential health consequences. The authors present an overview of karoshi, discuss its possible connections to specific ideological and organizational characteristics of JPM, and suggest the job strain mechanism as a possible pathway between karoshi and JPM. They conclude by discussing the need for comparative research that examines the health effects of work organization and management methods cross-culturally.

Abstract:
Background Measuring the interface pressure produced by compression therapy devices is essential for research and clinical practice. New user-friendly measuring devices, such as Smart Sleeve Pressure Monitor (SSPM) and Juzo Pressure Monitor (JPM) allow longitudinal pressure measurement. However, their accuracy and agreement with well-established usage of the PicoPress (PP) are unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate measurement accuracy of PP, SSPM, and JPM. Methods The three devices were tested in 10 healthy volunteers by applying incrementally increasing pressure from 20 mm Hg to 50 mm Hg using a calibrated sphygmomanometer cuff. The linearity of the response and measurement accuracy were compared among the three devices. In a separate experiment, the three devices were compared by simultaneously recording the interface pressure under bandages immediately after bandaging and after 4 h of wearing the bandage. Results PP had the best performance with the reference of sphygmomanometer, while JPM had better linearity and accuracy than SSPM. The mean difference in the interface pressure under bandages was +13.36 mm Hg between SSPM and PP, and +0.50 mm Hg between JPM and PP. The 95% limits of agreement were −13.92 and +40.64 mm Hg, and −19.83 and +20.84 mm Hg, respectively. Conclusions JPM showed better agreement with both sphygmomanometer and PP compared to SSPM. JPM is a reasonable alternative for monitoring interface pressure continuously.

Abstract:
The JPMorgan Chase Institute uses administrative banking data for research. In order to address representativeness in our data, we seek a reliable estimate of gross family income for population segmenting and reweighting purposes. JPMC Institute Income Estimate (JPMC IIE) version 1.0 uses gradient boosting machines (GBM) to estimate gross family income based on a truth set drawn from credit card and mortgage application data. The estimation relies on administrative banking data in combination with zip code-level characteristics available through public datasets. The final model yielded a significantly more accurate prediction of income than checking account inflows alone.
