As well, in every type of sport, we urgently need professionals of narrow specialization, whose shortage is increasingly felt, along with the modern development of the demands of sports. Based on many years of experience, we have developed principles of management focused on our own capabilities, instead of focusing on utopian goals, and logically, in the management of sports, we have aimed to offer genetically characteristic traditional types of sports to people of all age groups (including student youth), making maximum use of natural environmental conditions and human capabilities. As a result, despite the small scale of the university, many noteworthy results of international importance were achieved in sports and quality life expectancy for the academic staff and students employed at the university. In the process of the presented research, the method of multi-factor economic grouping with elements of physics and prognostic extrapolation was mainly used. The population of different age groups was surveyed and both the benefits and the acute need for healthy mass sports were highlighted especially in the post-crisis and naturally for the most modern post-COVID-19 periods.","PeriodicalId":261879,"journal":{"name":"MODERN ISSUES OF MEDICINE AND MANAGEMENT","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140691132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The highest antioxidant activity was revealed in the freeze-dried leaves. The drying method significantly influenced the antioxidant activity: the thermal microwave-drying resulted in lower antioxidant potential. The solvent polarity also played a significant role in the determination of the antioxidant activity of Paeonia daurica subsp. mlokosewitschii leaves: the lowest IC50 values (specific concentration of the sample required for 50% inhibition) were revealed for freeze-dried plants extracted with 80% methanol, followed by IC50 values obtained for the extraction with 80% ethanol, and the highest IC50 values were revealed for extracts of microwave-dried plants extracted with 99% methanol. The subsequent drying of freeze-dried plant extracts had no significant effect on the antioxidant activity of the extract. The subsequent drying of the methanol extract from microwave-dried plants at room temperature or 40°C significantly reduced IC50 value, however, the results were comparable with those, obtained for the methanol extracts of freeze-dried plants without subsequent drying of the extract. Thus, the optimal method of drying and extraction of Paeonia daurica subsp. mlokosewitschii leaves for preserving the antioxidant activities was established: freeze-drying of leaves followed by 24 h extraction with 80% methanol.","PeriodicalId":261879,"journal":{"name":"MODERN ISSUES OF MEDICINE AND MANAGEMENT","volume":" 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139142694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this research is to examine the impact of SMU on academic performance and wellbeing among male and female secondary-level students in Nepal. Materials and Methods: In this study, an analytical cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 229 students in Grades 8, 9, and 10 at a boarding school in Kathmandu, using probability-based stratified sampling techniques with two boarding schools as strata. The research tool was a self-administered questionnaire with four sections addressing SMU, AP, and WB, as well as well-structured tools utilized by researchers. All ethical approval was obtained before conducting the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, regression analysis, and the t-test. Results: The study examined the relationship between SMU and AP and WB. Neither hypothesis H1 nor H2 was supported, demonstrating no significant impact of SMU on AP or WB. Though, a significant difference in SMU between male and female students was detected. The majority of students were male students who favored using Facebook. Conclusion: Further examination is recommended to fully comprehend the complex association between SMU, AP, and WB. The study highlights the need for guidance and supervision from parents, teachers, and authority figures to prevent undesirable effects on students’ WB and AP. Researchers may suggest models such as emotional intelligence to increase self-awareness, self-management, empathy, and communication. Appropriate policies and models are urgently needed to prevent serious issues related with SMU among students.","PeriodicalId":261879,"journal":{"name":"MODERN ISSUES OF MEDICINE AND MANAGEMENT","volume":"391 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126746135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
