A Study to Find the Relation Between School Bag Weight and Musculoskeletal Discomfort in School Going Children
Abstract: Background: School bags are one of the several forms of manual load carriage used by school children. Carrying school bags that exceed 10% of body weight can lead to heightened energy expenditure, causing increased forward lean of the neck and trunk, reduced lung capacity, and elevated cardio-respiratory measures. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are characterized by injuries or disorders affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or spinal discs, as diagnosed by healthcare providers, …

Examining the Relationship Between Academic Stress, Maladaptive Perfectionism and Trauma-Related Responses Among University Students
Abstract: Academic stress is a significant concern among university students, frequently contributing to maladaptive perfectionism and trauma-like responses. While perfectionism can enhance performance, its maladaptive variant may be exacerbated by academic stress which can induce trauma-like responses. This study investigates the correlation between academic stress, maladaptive perfectionism and trauma-like responses. Validated self-report measures were used in a quantitative, correlational study involving 101 university students. Linear regression analysis and Kendall’s Tau-B correlation …

A Factorial Investigation of Hyperparameter Tuning Strategies for Lasso- Based Genomic Prediction
Abstract: In an earlier comparative study of machine-learning methods for genomic prediction of wheat grain yield, we reported a counter-intuitive result: automated nested-cross-validation tuning of the Lasso regularization penalty reduced mean predictive ability relative to a fixed, arbitrarily chosen penalty (mean Pearson r falling from 0.408 to 0.349 across four environments), the opposite of the expected effect of hyperparameter tuning. We hypothesized two possible explanations at the time — high-variance penalty …

Comparative Analysis of Ovarian Surface Epithelial Lesions with Corresponding Tubal Epithelial Changes with Reference to Ki67 and p53 Immunostains
Abstract: Ovarian surface epithelial cancers have high mortality due to late presentation. The ovarian surface epithelial tumours originate from fallopian tubal epithelium. Hence, ovarian surface epithelial tumours have good correlation with respect to genetic and immunohistological changes of fallopian tubes, especially fimbrial end epithelium. These changes are evident long before significant morphological changes in the ovaries appear. p53 and Ki67 are two important proliferative markers, and useful to evaluate ovarian surface …
