Integrated disease management using environmental control in tea fields
No full textThe occurrence of plant disease depends on interactions between the host plant, a pathogen, and the environment in a dynamic called "the disease triangle". Bacterial shoot blight (BSB) disease, caused by _Pseudomonas syringae_ pv. _theae_ (_Pst_), is a major bacterial disease of tea plants in Japan and substantially reduces tea productivity. BSB mainly occurs in the low-temperature season, and lesion formation by _Pst_ is enhanced by both low temperature and the presence of ice nucleation-active _Xanthomonas campestris_ (INAX), which catalyses ice formation at -2 to -4^o^C and is frequently co-isolated with _Pst_ from tea plants^5^. Low temperature is thus the most important environmental factor to influence the incident; however, the effects of environmental controls in fields on the occurrence of the disease are poorly understood. Here we show that the natural incidence of BSB in the field is closely related to low temperatures in late autumn. Frost protection in late autumn, which protected tea plants against extremely low temperatures, significantly decreased the incidence of BSB, and frost protection combined with bactericide application held the incident under the economic threshold level. Our data indicate that environmental control in the field based on microbial interactions in the host offers a new strategy for plant disease control using integrated plant disease management based on the disease triangle concept

Investigation on Rosehip Fruit Tea, Linden Herbal Tea, Sage Herbal Tea and Green Tea-are thay acidic or not?
No full textTea is a widely-consumed daily life product, which is claimed to be very
advantageous for health. But it may have negative effects on health, too. Consuming
tea with a hungry stomach causes stomachache, and doctors say that this is because
the tea is acidic. This investigation aims to determine if four types of teas (Rosehip
Fruit tea, Linden Herbal Tea, Sage Herbal Tea and Gren Tea with Lemon) are acidic
or not.
This investigation is important in the sense that the way the tea is consumed may be
limited. Determining if the tea is acidic or not may effect the habits of many people
about tea consumption. In order to determine if the tea is acidic or not, I used the
titration method. Titration is a technique in which the molarity of a solution can be
found by using a strong base or acid with a known molarity and volume.
At the end of my trials, I found out that these four types of teas are all acidic. These
results showed me that Rosehip Fruit Tea is the most acidic one among all, and the
Linden Herbal Tea is the one closest to the neutral. When an order is made between
the acidities tea types, I reached to the conclusion below:
Rosehip tea > Green tea with Lemon > Sage tea > Linden te

THE INFLUENCE OF PILATES ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF WOMEN IN SLAVONSKI BROD
No full textPilates metoda je cjelokupan program koji se sastoji od mentalnog i tjelesnog treninga. Sastoji se od širokog obujma vježbi koje se mogu raditi izvorno na pilates reformeru, ali i na podu uz pomoć opreme (lopta, elastična guma, utezi). Pilates se sastoji od prilagodljivih vježbi koje su namijenjene svim dobnim skupinama, a njihova prilagodljivost omogućava izvođenje vježbi ljudima s različitim stupnjem kondicije. Vježbe pomažu kod poremećaja ravnoteže, lošeg držanja, jačanja mišića cijelog tijela pogotovo zdjelice. Joseph H. Pilates svojom inovacijom u ratu uvelike je pomogao u smanjenju bolova kod oslabljenih bolesnika pa se tako i pilates ne koristi samo u svrhu ljepote i očuvanju zdravlja nego i kod težih bolničkih stanja. Lumbalni bolni sindrom česta je pojava današnjice kao i moždani udar. Zbog ubrzanog tempa života uz ova stanja se pojavljuju i anksioznost kao i depresija koja se pilatesom kao tjelovježbom uspijevaju kontrolirati i smanjiti. Pilates se preporuča ženama u menopauzi, trudnicama, osobama koje se rehabilitiraju nakon moždanog udara itd. Polaganim tempom vježbanja i spajanjem uma i tijela, pilates je savršena rekreacija za održavanje zdravlja i prevencije od daljnjih stanja i bolesti.The Pilates method is a complete program that consists of mental and physical training. It consists of a wide range of exercises that can be done originally on the Pilates reformer, but also on the floor with the help of equipment (ball, rubber band, weights). Pilates consists of adaptable exercises that are intended for all age groups, and their adaptability helps to adapt to people with different levels of fitness. Exercises help with balance disorders, poor posture, strengthening of the muscles of the whole body, especially the pelvis. Joseph H. Pilates, with his innovation during the war, greatly helped to reduce pain in weakened patients, so Pilates is not only used for the purpose of beauty and health preservation, but also for more serious hospital conditions. Lumbar pain syndrome is a common occurrence today, as is stroke. Due to the accelerated pace of life, in addition to these conditions, anxiety and depression appear, which can be controlled and reduced with Pilates as an exercise. Pilates is recommended for menopausal women, pregnant women, people rehabilitating after a stroke, etc. With a slow pace of exercise and merging of mind and body, Pilates is the perfect recreation for maintaining health and preventing further conditions and diseases
PROPRIOCEPTION EXERCISES IN REHABILITATION AFTER ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY
No full textKoljeno je najveći i najkompleksniji zglob u našem tijelu te zbog svoje građe i opterećenja koja se na njega vrše, često biva ozlijeđen. Sudjeluje u brojnim aktivnostima poput hodanja, trčanja, skakanja, nošenja tereta i drugo. Jedna od najčešćih ozljeda je ozljeda prednjeg križnog ligamenta koji je vrlo važan za kinematiku i stabilnost zgloba. Dijagnoza se postavlja na temelju anamneze i kliničkih testova te snimkom magnetne rezonance. Liječenje može biti operativno i konzervativno, ovisno o mehanici i težini ozljede, dobi pacijenta i drugim čimbenicima. Rehabilitacija može potrajati i do šest mjeseci, a u nju spadaju fizioterapijska procjena, plan rehabilitacije i ciljevi te fizioterapijske intervencije. Najčešće komplikacije koje se pojavljuju su smanjeni opseg pokreta, snaga mišića te smanjena propriocepcija, a samim time i neuromišićna kontrola. Najvažnija fizioterapijska intervencija u rehabilitaciji je kineziterapija. Vježbe koje se provode su različite, a neke od njih su vježbe jačanja, opsega pokreta, vježbe istezanja i propriocepcijske vježbe. U ovom radu cilj je bio predstaviti vježbe propriocepcije i učinke tih vježbi na osobe s ozljedom prednjeg križnog ligamenta.The knee is the biggest and most complex joint in human body and considering the way it is built and the amount of work load it is subjected to, it often gets injured. A knee is involved in many activities such as walking, running, jumping, carrying the heavy loads and etc. One of the most common knee injuries is the injury of the anterior cruciate ligament that is very important for kinematic abilities and stability of the entire joint. Diagnosis is set based on anamnesis, clinical tests and MRI. Treatment can be done via operation or conservative methods, depending on mechanics and degree of injury itself, age of the patient and other factors. Rehabilitation can take up to six months, and it involves physiotherapy assessment, rehabilitation plan and goals of that particular physiotherapy intervention. Most frequent complications are loss off range of motion, muscle strength and reduced proprioception, therefore reduced neuromuscular control. The most important physiotherapy intervention in the rehabilitation is the kinesiotherapy. Exercises done are various, some of them are strength exercises, range of motion exercises, stretching and proprioception exercises. The goal of this study is to present proprioception exercises and their impact on patients with injured anterior cruciate ligament
APPLICATION OF BOWEN THERAPY IN CROATIA
No full textU današnje vrijeme alternativna medicina privlači sve veći broj ljudi pa tako dolazi i do sve veće primjene Bowen terapije. Bowen terapijom se na tijelo djeluje holistički, odnosno djeluje se na meko vezivno tkivo to jest fasciju tijela. Fascija obavija tijelo, a možemo je prikazati kao mrežu vezivnog tkiva. Ona se nalazi na svim razinama tijela, sve do stanične razine. Vrsta pokreta koji se koristi tijekom Bowen terapije pomaže hidrataciji fascije, što zauzvrat potiče bolju vaskularnu i živčanu opskrbu. Tretman Bowen terapijom je nježan, opuštajući i ne koristi nasilnu manipulaciju. Može se koristiti za liječenje različitih mišićnokoštanih ili povezanih neuroloških problema, uključujući akutne sportske ozljede i kronična ili organska stanja. Prema našem istraživanju Bowen se najčešće koristi za probleme kao što su bol u lumbalnom dijelu leđa, novorođenačke grčeve te različita stanja kao što su alergije, astma i migrene. Također, ova vrsta terapije se u radu primjenjuje svakodnevno te je ispitanici smatraju vrlo korisnom metodom.Nowadays, the alternative medicine is attracting more and more people and so it has come to an increasing usage of Bowen therapy. This therapy works hollistically on our body; it works on the soft connective tissue, that is, on the fascia of the body. Fascia wraps round the body so we can present it like a web of the soft connective tissue. It is found at all levels of the body, all the way to the cellular level. Types of movement that are used during the Bowen therapy help to hydrate the fascia and this stimulates a better vascular and nervous supply. The Bowen therapy treatment is gentle, relaxing and it doesn't use any violent manipulation. It can be used in treating different kinds of musculo-skeletal or some kinds of related neurological disorders, including acute sports injuries and chronic or organic conditions. According to our research, the Bowen therapy is used mostly for problems such as pain in the lumbar part of the back, newborn cramps and and for various conditions such as allergies, asthma and migraine headaches. This type of therapy is used on daily bases and respondents consider it to be a very useful method
FREQUENCY OF CUPPING THERARY USAGE AMONG PHYSIOTHERAPISTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
No full textCupping terapija smatra se alternativnom metodom liječenja, porijeklom iz Azijskih zemalja, a zadnjih je desetljeća sve više prihvaćena u Zapadnoj medicini. Definira se kao terapija koja koristi čašice za stvaranje vakuuma unutar čašice i tako povlači kožu unutar iste. Točan mehanizam djelovanja ove terapije nije poznat, ali smatra se da dovodi do smanjenja boli, napetosti, te kod nekih stanja do poboljšanja funkcije i kvalitete života. Cupping terapija prepoznata je tisućama godina unazad, a prvi se puta dokazi o postojanju pronalaze na Eberovom papirusu iz starog Egipta. U povijesti se ova terapija prepoznaje kao učinkovita u liječenju problema sa probavom, gubitkom apetita, nesvjesticom, glavoboljom, a danas se najčešće koristi kod liječenja boli u leđima, vratu, ramenima, koljenima, a kontraindicirana je kod otvorenih rana, oštećenja kože, trudnica, osoba mlađih od dvije i starijih od 60 godina. Prema literaturi, postoje razne klasifikacije cupping terapije, trenutno popularna je klasifikacija prema: tehnici, metodi, snazi usisavanja, području tijela koje se tretira i ostale cupping metode. Među fizioterapeutima u Republici Hrvatskoj cupping još uvijek nije najpopularnija metoda u liječenju, najčešće se koristi za tretiranje boli u leđima i boli u vratu. Ključne riječi:Cupping therapy is considered an alternative method of treatment, originating from Asian countries, and in recent decades it has been increasingly accepted in Western medicine. It is defined as a therapy that uses cups to create a vacuum inside the cup and thus pull the skin inside it. The exact mechanism of action of this therapy is not known, but it is believed to lead to a reduction in pain, tension, and in some cases to an improvement in function and quality of life. Cupping therapy was recognized thousands of years ago, and the first evidence of its existence was found on the Eber papyrus from ancient Egypt. Historically, this therapy has been recognized as effective in the treatment of problems with digestion, loss of appetite, fainting, headaches, and today it is most often used in the treatment of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and knees, and is contraindicated in open wounds, skin damage, pregnant women, persons younger than two and older than 60 years. According to the literature, there are various classifications of cupping therapy, currently the popular classification is according to: technique, method, strength of use, area of the body to be treated and others. Among physiotherapists in the Republic of Croatia, cupping is still not the most popular method of treatment, and it is most often used to treat back pain and neck pain
PHYSIOTHERAPY PROCEDURES FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM COVID-19
No full textCOVID-19 predstavlja novu vrstu virusa koja prethodno nije bila poznata. Zaraza se prenosi s čovjeka na čovjeka, najčešće putem aerosola. Najčešći simptomi zaraze su kašalj, povišena tjelesna temperatura, umor i otežano disanje. Liječenje infekcije obično je simptomatsko, dok se u težim stanjima primjenjuje kisik kako bi se spriječila hipoksija tkiva. Fizioterapeut također sudjeluje u liječenju zaraženih osoba. Započinje fizioterapijskom procjenom koja obuhvaća prikupljanje i analizu informacija. Opservacija uključuje metode poput inspekcije, palpacije, perkusije i auskultacije, određivanje stupnja dispneje, procjenu obrasca disanja, procjenu posture te utvrđivanje prisutnosti boli tijekom disanja. Mjere se vitalni znakovi te se provode testovi poput 6-minutnog testa hoda, sit to stand test i mjerenje mobilnosti prsnog koša. Fizioterapeuti pristupaju razvoju fizioterapijske intervencije na temelju prikupljenih podataka. Glavni cilj respiratorne fizioterapije s COVID-19 infekcijom je poboljšati simptome dispneje, ublažiti anksioznost, smanjiti komplikacije, umanjiti invalidnost, očuvati funkciju i poboljšati kvalitetu života. Glavni postupci u respiratornoj fizioterapiji uključuju vježbe disanja, posturalnu drenažu, mobilizaciju prsnog koša, toaletu dišnih putova, tehnike relaksacije i ostale terapijske vježbe i fizioterapijske procedure u respiratornoj fizioterapiji. Vježbe disanja su osnovna komponenta u tretiranju, upravljanju i sprječavanju oštećenja akutnih ili kroničnih problema u respiratornom sustavu.COVID-19 represents a new type of virus that was not previously known. The infection is transmitted from person to person, most often through aerosols. The most common symptoms of infection include cough, elevated body temperature, fatigue and difficulty breathing. Treatment of infection is usually symptomatic, except in more severe conditions, where oxygen is administered to prevent tissue hypoxia. The physiotherapist also participates in the treatment of infected persons and starts the process with a physiotherapy assessment, which includes the collection and analysis of information. Observation includes methods such as inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation. It also includes determining the degree of dyspnea, assessing breathing patterns, assessing posture, and determining the presence of pain during breathing. Vital signs are measured and various tests such as the 6-minute walk test, sit-to-stand test and measurement of chest mobility are performed. Physiotherapists approach the development of physiotherapy intervention based on the collected data. The main goal of respiratory physiotherapy with COVID-19 infection is to improve symptoms of dyspnea, relieve anxiety, reduce complications, reduce disability, preserve function and improve general quality of life. The main procedures in respiratory physiotherapy include breathing exercises, postural drainage, chest mobilization, airway toilet, relaxation techniques and other therapeutic exercises and physiotherapy procedures in respiratory physiotherapy. Breathing exercises are a basic component in the treatment, management and prevention of damage to acute or chronic problems in the respiratory system
