. ABSTRACT 1.1 BACKGROUND: Football (soccer) matches traditionally take place on natural grass, although different playing surfaces are used including sand, dirt, clay, concrete, asphalt, and hardwood. In dray counties maintaining a natural grass surface is expensive; therefore in this area especially in parts of Asian and Africa most football fields are dirt fields (DFs) (bare earth) and many football players, especially amateur ones, play on DFs in these regions. Most common injured part on dirt field was ankle (28.5%) and on artificial turf was knee (24.3%) Results suggest that the incidence of match football injuries on DF are higher (about two times) than this rate on artificial turf. The calf muscle situated at the posterior side of the Lower limb is composed of the soleus muscle, the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius (composing the triceps surae muscle), and the tibialis posterior. ROM of the ankle joint is related to performance in daily activities and sports. Reduction of ROM dorsiflexion is reflected in a lower efficiency of walking and running and is related to several lower limb disorders, including Achilles tendinitis. The decrease in ROM due to increased muscle stiffness can reduce the ability of the musculotendinous-unit to absorb impact and generate optimal force. Continuing sport performance during this stage of reduced impact absorption may increase the risk of injury. Muscle energy technique (MET) is a procedure that involves voluntary contraction of a patient's muscle in a precisely controlled direction, at varying levels of intensity. It is unique in its application as the client provides the initial effort while the practitioner facilitates the process. MET is based on the concepts of 63 Autogenic Inhibition and Reciprocal Inhibition. If a sub-maximal contraction of the muscle is followed by stretching of the same muscle it is known as Autogenic Inhibition MET, and if a submaximal contraction of a muscle is followed by stretching of the opposite muscle, then this is known as Reciprocal Inhibition MET. Autogenic and reciprocal inhibition both occur when certain muscles are inhibited from contracting due to the activation of the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) and the muscle spindles. Various benefits of MET include reduction in tone of muscles and improved joint mobility 1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to find out the effect of Muscle energy technique on calf muscle flexibility and strength and endurance in amateur football players playing on dirt field at the end of 10 sessions. The objectives of the study were 1. To find out the effect of MET on calf muscles flexibility in amateur football players playing on dirt field using ankle lunge test at the end of 10 sessions. 2. To find out the effect of MET on calf muscles strength and endurance in amateur football players playing on dirt field using standing heel rise test at the end of 10 sessions. 1.3 METHODOLOGY: Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional ethical committee. Subjects satisfying the study inclusion criteria were enrolled and briefed about the study. Informed consent was obtained from all the subjects.46 individuals were selected. Pretest measurement was taken, ankle lunge test was performed before heel rise test. Intervention in the form of post isometric relaxation technique to calf muscles was given for 10 consecutive days. Posttest measurement was taken ankle lunge test was done before heel rise test. Data was collected and analyzed. 1.4 RESULTS: There was significant difference (p<0.0001) seen in the pre (12.37+1.311) and post (13.45+1.268) mean of right side and pre (12.4+1.282) and post (13.83+1.525) mean of left side of ankle lunge test Thus muscle energy technique is effective in improving flexibility of calf muscles in amateur football players at the end of 10 days.There was significant difference (p<0.0001) seen in the pre (23.22+5.072) and post (26.41+5.651) mean of right side and pre (22.22+5.696) and post (24.95+4.784) mean of left side of single leg heel rise test. Thus muscle energy technique is effective in improving strength and endurance of calf muscles in amateur football players at the end of 10 days. 1.5 CONCLUSION: Hence, it is concluded that muscle Energy technique is effective in improving calf muscle flexibility, strength and endurance in amateur football players playing on dirt field at the end of 10 days.

 Abstract

However the condition of women, particularly in tribal communities, is very slowly showing improvement in an upward trend and this is very true for most of the tribal women whose lives are still alienated, male-dominated and are in an ignorant environment; unaware of their potential, skills and equal abilities in both organised and unorganised sectors to compete with other groups of male and female. Thus, this study not only probes the area of socio economic status of tribal women of Krishna district but also searches the other different factors that are directly or indirectly connected with the condition of these women involved in the development process.

 Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered many aspects of life, particularly trade and industry. The global consumer buying pattern has undergone significant alterations as a result of this unheard-of economic crisis. Whether they purchase physically or online, consumers each have their own preferences. A few elements that influence whether a consumer chooses to purchase physically or online include the feel and touch of the goods, quick satisfaction, and delivery times. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak disrupted the whole supply chain, and the virus's modes of transmission, lockdowns, and social distance standards may have changed consumer preferences about grocery shopping practises. By investigating the elements that affect consumers' decisions to buy both offline and online during the pandemic, this research aims to explore the likely shift in consumer preferences brought on by the Covid-19 epidemic. In terms of demographics and other elements that may affect customers' purchasing habits, this study article analysed the substantial differences between consumers' shopping behaviours.

 Abstract

Emotional competence refers to an individual's ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It is a critical component of effective communication, social interaction, and overall well-being. Creativity is creating something new using existing ideas and gifting universe your own unique creation. The relationship between emotional competence and creativity has been the subject of considerable theoretical and empirical research. There are several theoretical perspectives that attempt to explain the nature of this relationship. The data in this particular study has been obtained with the help of the scales named "Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI)" and "The creativity quotient" as well as a demographic information form. Two hypotheses were tested using correlation and regression analysis, and the results showed no significant relationship between emotional competence and creativity.

 Abstract

ABSTRACT A type of computational modelling known as "molecular docking" is used to represent the complexes produced when two or more molecules interact. It is a method for computing the architecture of compounds consisting of two or more distinct molecules. Molecular docking aims to predict an interesting three-dimensional structure. The words "ligand" and "protein" are mostly linked to the concept of molecular docking. The target site of a protein is where a ligand may bind to produce a particular activity. Based on the binding characteristics of the involved ligand and target molecules, molecular docking software is mostly employed in drug development. Computational approaches have become a key component of many drug development processes, from hit discovery to lead optimization and beyond. The docking procedure often consists of numerous steps, and each one provides another level of complexity. Small molecules are positioned in the enzyme's active site using docking techniques. Molecular Docking provide a collection of expensive tools for drug design and analysis. Molecular docking is anticipated to be the computational phenomenon that is used the most frequently in the area of computer-aided drug design (CADD). It is used for the lead discovery process in the pharmaceutical industry and at the academic level. In this review, which mainly the highlights molecular docking along with its mechanism, types, approaches, and applications.

 Abstract

A major percentage of upper - limb amputations involve partial hand loss including one or more fingers. This sort of limb amputation has been treated with basic design that leverage the movement of the remaining digit to grip against a stationary device. Nonetheless, scientific advancements and the adoption of advanced computer-aided tools for the formation and functional design of mechanisms have led to the creation of relatively smaller, more comprehensive approaches that are gradually improving body-powered and electrically-powered prototypes in recent years. This study examines economically feasible options offered in research or available on the market for single finger or partial hand prosthetics. First, the primary design criteria are identified. The underlying advantages and disadvantages of a large number of prototypes are then discussed. The ultimate objective is to provide a strong foundation for the study and development of the forthcoming generations of prostheses that can be built in an economically feasible manner to surpass the existing state-of-the-art prosthesis.

 Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between self-concept and life satisfaction among the youth. The research focuses on examining whether the two variables are correlated and if each of them has an impact on the other. The study collected data from 100 college-going students in India, aged between 18-25 years, with an equal representation of both genders. Self- Concept Questionnaire and Life Satisfaction Scale were used as instruments to measure the two variables. The results indicated that the average self-concept score is higher than the average life satisfaction score, and there was less variability in self-concept scores than life satisfaction scores. The study also found significant gender differences in the levels of self- concept and life satisfaction among the youth. The findings provided insights into how self- concept influences life satisfaction and how different factors affect them, which can help in developing interventions to improve the well-being of the youth.
