Previous researches have found different results since they tested mostly on children, adolescents, and middle aged persons. However, there’s no clear evidence of the association between obesity and ECG variables, especially in young adults. Hence, the aim of this research is to compare ECG parameters (PR interval, QRS interval, corrected QT, axis and height of P and R wave) of obese with normal BMI young adults.Materials and method: A cross-sectional observational study was done on 38 students of a private university in Shah Alam. They were aged between 20 to 30 years, involving normal and obese persons. Anthropometric data, arterial blood pressure and standard 12-lead ECGs were collected for every participant. Independent-sample t-tests and non-parametric Mann-Whitney test were conducted to compare data of normal persons and obese persons. Pearson correlation was done to correlate ECG parameters with BMI, Weight and systolic arterial blood pressure.Results: Heart rate, PR interval, QRS interval and QT interval of obese person were not significantly different from normal. Height of R wave in obese person is more than that of normal person (P<0.05). However, there was no correlation between BMI, Weight, systolic blood pressure and ECG parameters that could be found.Conclusion: Thus, ECG wave and intervals except height of the R wave of obese young adults are not significantly different from those of the normal BMI. Finding of higher R wave in obese groups indicates ventricle wall of obese young adults are thicker than that of the young adults with normal BMI and it is not related to the effect of systolic arterial blood pressure, BMI and even weight of the person","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127406016","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}

Campaigns on bully awareness is proven unsuccessful considering the situation has been going on and keep happening. This also due to the lack of firm and indecisive action against the bully. This research will focus on encouraging the victims to participate and learn how to defend themselves against bully. By learning martial arts, the victim will be able to defend themselves independently and stop putting hopes for others to do so in their rights. The objective of this marketing campaign is to encourage the bully victims to learn martial arts in order to defend themselves. The promotional marketing items that will be distributed along with the campaign shall explain the benefits of learning martial arts and where they can sign up for the courses. The concept and design theme for the promotional items will be made suitable and appealing for the target audiences. An attractive publishing is proved effective as a promotional items since it has the ability to persuade and pique the interest of the victims in learning how to defend themselves against bully. This, in hope will slowly but surely reduce the frequency of bully.","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124060181","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}

This technology opened a pathway for the synthesis of silver nanoparticle by various physical and chemical methods. The biosynthesis method from plant extracts are considered as alternative as it is relatively simple, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly methods. The objective was to synthesize and characterize silver nanoparticle via ultraviolet visible spectroscopy of silver nanoparticles from three piper species which are Piper nigrum, Piper sarmentosum and Piper betel. Silver nanoparticles were prepared by the reaction of 1 mM of 90 ml silver nitrate and 10 ml methanolic leaf extract of each type of plant that act as reductant and stabilizer. The synthesized nanoparticle was characterized by color changes from green into dark brown with increasing intensity of the color from 10 minutes until 48 hour indicating the completion of silver nanoparticle formation at 48 hour. A UV–Vis spectrum of the methanolic medium containing silver nanoparticles demonstrated a peak at 413 nm, 417 nm and 420 nm for Piper nigrum, Piper sarmentosum and Piper betel respectively that corresponds to the plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. The maximum percentage increase in the rate of absorbance was found specifically at 24 hour in all the three leaf. In conclusion piper species is a source for synthesizing silver nanoparticles and Piper nigrum being an excellent source for the synthesis due to the narrow, sharp peak and showing maximum percentage increase at 24 hour among all the three plants. This study exhibited the potential of three methanolic extract of piper species for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129923028","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}

One of them is the oxidative stress, an imbalance between free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidants. The human body manages free radicals through neutralization by the antioxidative defense mechanism, however, when excessive free radicals being produced, it will become less effective. Over 40 years of age, oxidative stress become prominent and may associated with many diseases such as neural disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Oxidative stress can cause damage to lipids, known as lipid peroxidation, producing malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker to detect the degree of oxidative stress. Availability of oxygen (O2) is the main factor of the ROS formation, which could be indicated by haemoglobin (Hb) concentration. Thus, this research is conducted to find out the correlation between Hb concentration and MDA level in healthy middle age adults.Methods: A correlation study was conducted in a private University, Shah Alam from January 2018 until March 2018. Total 16 participants, who are MSU staffs, age between 45 and 65, with no known diseases, are selected after the consents are gained. Pearson correlation was used for statistical analysis of the data.Results: It is found that there is a strong correlation between Hb concentration and MDA level (r: .756, p <0.001). This means that MDA production is significantly increased when the Hb concentration is increased.Conclusion: The MDA level is strongly correlate with the Hb concentration in the middle age apparently healthy adults. It can be postulated that MDA production correlates with oxygen availability at the intracellular respiration in normal middle aged person","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122958158","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}

Surgery is offered when the curve is more than 45 degree based on its progression. The objective of this study is to determine the pre and post-surgical self-esteem, self-image and quality of life in idiopathic scoliosis patients. A cross sectional study was conducted by using Scoliosis Research Society-30 (SRS-30) self-administered patient questionnaire. There are 115 patients were recruited in this study where 35 (30.43%) male and 80 (69.6%) female patients. Age of patient ranged from 10 to 49 years old with mean age of 24.65 ± 7.704. There were 42 (36.52%) Malay patients, 40 (34.78%) Chinese patients, 25 (21.73%) Indian patients and 8 (6.96%) from other races. Results shows that self-esteem and self-image is significantly higher (r = 0.216, p=0.021) after surgery compared to before surgery. As for quality of life, physical function did not significantly change after surgery but quality of life based on psychological function and social wellbeing is significantly higher after surgery. Positive association were found between satisfaction of treatment with self-image (r = 0.713, p=0.00) and self-image with self-esteem (r = 0.216, p=0.021) and negative association found between satisfaction of treatment with self-esteem (r = - 0.210, p=0.024). In conclusion patients with idiopathic scoliosis report lower self-esteem and self-image before surgical treatment and significantly improves after surgical correction and patients are generally satisfied with their life as well as the outcome of surgical treatment.","PeriodicalId":340986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management & Science","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121556272","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}
