Defining creativity in Kangri: Innovation of change in the Kashmir Valley
No full text1180-1182This article explores an innovative solution to address a
century-old design limitation in the traditional Kashmiri Kangri, a
cherished winter essential in the region. The introduction of the
"Spill-proof Kangri" design, based on the principles of gyroscopic
effect and gimbal lock, has successfully mitigated the issue of
spillage, making it safer and more user-friendly. The National
Innovation Foundation - India (NIF) has filed a patent application
to protect this intellectual property and has actively supported its
diffusion. Research into technology standardization and feedback
from trials in the Kashmir valley have been encouraging,
emphasizing the enhanced safety standards and potential for
cultural preservation. The Spill-proof Kangri design represents a
significant case of incremental innovation, highlighting the need
for holistic development and adaptability in the value chain. It
also underscores the importance of bridging the gap between
innovations from the informal sector and formal scientific
research. Collaboration is encouraged to disseminate this
innovation and benefit end-users while preserving cultural
traditions
Association Between Scapular Dyskinesis and Forward Head Posture in Badminton Player: A Cross-Sectional Study
Full text linkAbstractObjective: To determine the association between scapular dyskinesis and forward head postureamong badminton players.Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted recruiting 120 recreational badmintonplayers using non-probability convenience sampling. Badminton players of either gender, aged 18-35years with head-forward posture were participants in the study based on the predefined eligibilitycriteria after ethical approval. Scapular dyskinesis was measured using the Modified Lateral ScapularSlide test in three testing positions. The data was evaluated using SPSS version 26.0 and a chi-squaretest was implemented to find the association, and P≤0.05 was deemed significant.Results: In resting position, Scapular Dyskinesis was evident in 39.2% of badminton players while itwas 65% and 54.2% evident respectively in dynamic hands-on-hip position and scapular plane withone kg weight in both hands. In addition, out of 120 players the prevalence of moderate forward headposture was greater as compared to the mild and severe forward head posture. Scapular dyskinesiswas significant in hands on hip and with one kg weight in hands position (p≤0.05).Conclusion: It was found that badminton players with forward head posture had significantlydifferent scapular kinematics in dynamic scapular positions when compared to static scapular positions.Key Words: Scapular Dyskinesis, Forward Head Posture, Overhead Sports, Badminton Playe
