Determination of Correlation of Body Mass Index and Waist Hip Ratio with Cardiovascular Parameters in Sedentary Males | Chapter 3 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 5

 Background: Obesity causes an increase in adipose tissue accumulation, which is linked to increased sympathetic activity, a main possible mechanism that contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. Obesity is linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, infertility, osteoarthritis, and colo-rectal malignancies. Visceral fat is more atherogenic than other types of fat.

100 sedentary healthy male individuals were randomly picked from the general community of Davangere. Weight, height, waist, and hip circumferences were all measured anthropometrically. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) were determined using these. A correlation was found between BMI and WHR and cardiovascular markers. Body mass index, waist hip ratio, and cardiovascular parameters in sedentar subjects were determined. Body mass index, waist hip ratio, and cardiovascular parameters in inactive subjects were correlated. Results: In sedentary patients, there was a statistically significant rise in BMI, waist hip ratio, blood pressure, and pulse rate, as well as a positive connection between BMI, waist hip ratio, blood pressure, and pulse rate. Conclusion: Obesity and sedentary lifestyles are linked to an increase in BMI, waist hip ratio, blood pressure, and pulse rate. Body Mass Index, Waist Hip Ratio, Pulse Rate, and Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure all have a positive association.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...

Empowerment and Leader Member Exchange towards Organizational Citizenship Behavior Readiness among Government Workforce in Malaysia | Book Publisher International

  State agencies are among the most significant entities that represent the public's needs, and their programmes are essential to a state's and the nation's economic growth and development. State agencies have been rife by public concerns for years, as demonstrated by the Public Complaints Bureau, as problems of inefficiency in service quality and delivery have yet to meet the public's standards. With the support of 15 employees from state agencies on Malaysia's east coast, this study aims to achieve three targets. The first and second objectives are to investigate the ties between leader-member exchange (LMX) and OCB empowerment. The final aim is to define the most significant factors that affect OCB willingness. A total of 288 people took part in the survey, which was conducted using a cluster sampling process. The survey items had achieved the necessary reliability, according to the pilot test results, and some sub-dimensions were renamed after factor analysis. ...
