Miroslav Vilímek, PhD Title: MUSCLES ACTIVATION DURING "SHOULDER MOUNT"POLE ACROBATIC EXERCISE Purpose: This study is an empirical - theoretical study presents the literature review regarding to the topic of the shoulder function anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, non-traumatic injuries of the shoulder and their prevention by using the available literatures. Further, the study also compares by surface electromyography the amplitudes, shapes and durations of myoelectric signals of m. latissimus dorsi, m. pectoralis maior, m. biceps brachii, m. infraspinatus and m. supraspinatus of dominant shoulder in two healthy individuals during acrobatic exercise on vertical pole known as "Shoulder Mount". The purpose was monitor the changes in two different conditions; i.e. kinesiotape and elbow brace and compare with the control condition for the reason of finding out their ability to affect the myoelectric activities of selected muscles. Further, the Shoulder Mount exercise had recorded by six Qualisys cameras for motion analyses. Methods and materials: The potentially eligible scientific articles perform a search of studies on the topic of kinesiotapes and tennis elbow brace as measured by EMG mainly on myoelectric activity of the shoulder complex were seared from..
Google Scholar as a source for citation and impact analysis for a non-ISI indexed medical journal
No full textIt is difficult to determine the influence and impact of journals which are not covered by the ISI databases and Journal Citation Report. However, with the availability of databases such as MyAIS (Malaysian Abstracting and Indexing System), which offers sufficient information to support bibliometric analysis as well as being indexed by Google Scholar which provides citation information, it has become possible to obtain productivity, citation and impact information for non-ISI indexed journals. The bibliometric tool Harzing's Publish and Perish was used to collate citation information from Google scholar. The study examines article productivity, the citations obtained by articles and calculates the impact factor of Medical Journal of Malaysia (MJM) published between 2004 and 2008. MJM is the oldest medical journal in Malaysia and the unit of analysis is 580 articles. The results indicate that once a journal is covered by MyAIS it becomes visible and accessible on the Web because Google Scholarindexes MyAIS. The results show that contributors to MJM were mainly Malaysian (91) and the number of Malaysian-Foreign collaborated papers were very small (28 articles, 4.8). However, citation information from Google scholar indicates that out of the 580 articles, 76.8 (446) have been cited over the 5-year period. The citations were received from both mainstrean foreign as well as Malaysian journals and the top three citors were from China, Malaysia and the United States. In general more citations were received from East Asian countries, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The 2-yearly impact factor calculated for MJM is 0.378 in 2009, 0.367 in 2008, 0.616 in 2007 and 0.456 in 2006. The 5-year impact factor is calculated as 0.577. The results show that although MJM is a Malaysian journal and not ISI indexed its contents have some international significance based on the citations and impact score it receives, indicating the importance of being visible especially in Google scholar
A Clinical Assessment and Evaluation of Mantha Sanni (Autism Spectrum Disorder) with Siddha therapeutic management in children
No full textA child who has been determined to require special attention is called as Special children. Children with multiple disabilities associated with impairment in social, cognitive skills, communication skills, behavioural changes and sensory issues called Autism spectrum disorder. Many Allopatyhic medications like respiridon, valporic acid are widely used for ASD. Not all the patients benefit from this treatment. However this drug has to shown undesirable side effects.
It is in the text that we have undertaken a review of the Siddha formulation which could help management of ASD. In the view of the above, great efforts have been made to find out the Siddha medicine and methologies to improve the life styles of ASD children.
The available literature on Manthasanni reveals that this is a disease of Autism spectrum disorder. For the purpose of study about Mantha sanni, 30 patients of both sexes were selected between the age group of 3-12 years. The study revealed that the incidence of the disease is greater in the age group of 3-6 years.
The study revealed that.43% of the cases belonged to high socio economic status. Regarding unknown aetiology 100% of the cases developed diseases after the age of one and half years. In Uyir thathukkal vatham, pitham, kabam were affected in 100% of cases. In Udal thathukkal Saram was affected in 2.6% cases. In Envagai thervugal, Neikuri indicated kabaneer (Pearl like shape) in all the cases.
Patients attending the kuzhandhai maruthuvam OPD of Ayothidoss Pandithar Hospital, NIS having the complaints of Mantha sanni is diagnosed and taken for this study. Clinical diagnosis of Mantha sanni is done on the basis of clinical feature described in Balavagadam text.
Autism is an umbrella term for Autism spectrum disorder which is charscterised by Constant problem with social communication and interactions across a variety of contexts Early onset of symptoms (typically in the first two years of life). Repetitive, restricted patterns of behaviour, Activities and interests. Symptoms that cause major impairment in social, educational and other important area of functioning.
It is called a spectrum because of the wide range of symptoms and impairment level in children can have. Some are only mildly affected by their symptoms, while the other children are severely disabled. Diagnosis has been made based on the specially prepared proforma, which includes all clinical signs and symptoms of the disease. A detailed history has been taken and recorded.
Clinical studies were carried out after obtaining proper permission from IEC of National Institute of Siddha via IEC number NIS/IEC/2016/11-19/ 14.10.2016 and the trial was registered in Clinical trial registry of India via CTRI number CTRI/2017/05/008698. The authentications of the new drugs are obtained from the Medicinal Botanist of NIS and the medicine is prepared in the Gunapadam laboratory of NIS under the guidance and superviser of the guide. Physicochemical and Biochemical analysis for the drug has been carried out.
In treatment aspect all the 30 cases were treated with Kuruver kudineer internally and Sambrani and mysatchi pugai (externally) for an average of 90 days.The observation made during this study showed that the trial medicine was clinically effective.
After the treatment period of 3 months, the Summary of case study were shown in all the 30 ASD children are improved cognitive functions, eye to eye contact and reduced hyperactivity behaviour. There was sitting tolerance, enhanced the mind calming activity.
Able to mingle the other children and try to speak the verbal with limited skills and having good sound sleep. So the Siddha internal and external therapies are enhancing the quality of life of ASD children. The potency of drug was studied by pharmacological, phytochemical, physicochemical and biochemical analysis. It showed that the drug has good action. The drug
also has Anxiolytic activity. All the patients showed very good response. No patients developed any adverse effects. The action of trial drug and progress in the patients was encouraging.
CONCLUSION:
In this study, results were found to be improvement in all the cases. No adverse effects were noticed during the treatment. Further follow up of these patients showed good recovery and fine improvement. The preparation of the medicine is simple as well as economical. The trial drug has anxyiolytic actions. So it is concluded that for the disease Mantha sanni, the treatment with Kuruver kudineer is good, in the view of efficacy and safety.
The Global burden of Mantha sanni (Autism spectrum disorder), increasing prevalence and its impact in reducing the quality of life in children has prompted the author to choose an efficient and nutritive drug which is believed to good in central nervous system.
The treatment of Mantha sanni with Kuruver Kudineer has showed good response with no adverse effect, very effective and simple to administer.
This has, in turn, provided a golden opportunity for new drug established in the management of Mantha sanni.
Our perception of autism has evolved over time. Sixty years ago autism was nothing more than an unrecognized developmental delay generally lumped in with mental retardation. Today it is recognized as an independent neurologically based disorder of significance, a major public health problem, and a topic of much research. So we will overcome this disease by regular practice of Siddha treatment and also with help of Role of Families, Educational services, Effective Interventions, Public Policies, Personal preparation. Further study is recommended for scientific validation to prove its clinical efficacy in multicenter clinical study

Tiivistelmä - Referat - Abstract
Vaikeasti kehitysvammaiset ja/tai autistiset henkilöt ilmaisevat itseään sanatonta vuorovaikutustapaa käyttäen (Luckasson et al., 2002; Van Wijngaarden-Cremers et al., 2014). Voimauttavan vuorovaikutuksen terapiamenetelmä on kehitetty lisäämään autististen ja kehitysvammaisten henkilöiden vuorovaikutuksellisuutta sekä vahvistamaan heidän osallisuuttaan sosiaalisessa kanssakäymisessä (Nind & Hewett, 2005). Voimauttavan vuorovaikutuksen terapiamenetelmä perustuu sanattomien vuorovaikutustapojen käyttämiseen. Muutostyökalu on voimauttavan vuorovaikutuksen terapiamenetelmään kuuluva väline, jolla pyritään tekemään näkyviksi muutoksia, joita kehitysvammaisen tai autistisen henkilön vuorovaikutuksellisissa toiminnoissa on tapahtunut.
Tavoitteet. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia ajatuksia voimauttavan vuorovaikutuksen terapiamenetelmän käyttäjillä on muutostyökalun hyödyllisyydestä. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin erityisesti sitä, tukeeko muutostyökalu asiakkaan tai läheisen vuorovaikutustavoissa tapahtuneiden muutosten havaitsemista, onko muutostyökalusta apua asiakkaan tai läheisen vuorovaikutustavoissa tapahtuneiden muutosten kielentämisessä ja millaisia ajatuksia muutostyökalun käyttäjillä on sen kehittämisestä.
Menetelmät. Toteutin tutkimukseni kyselylomaketutkimuksena. Vastaajat haettiin Voimauttava vuorovaikutus Suomi –Facebook ryhmästä sekä Kehitysvammaliiton Tikoteekin erityisasiantuntija Kaisa Martikaisen sähköpostilistalta. Tutkimukseen osallistumisen kriteerinä oli, että vastaajalla tuli olla kokemusta sekä voimauttavan vuorovaikutuksen terapiamenetelmän että muutostyökalun käyttämisestä. Tutkimusaineisto muodostui tutkittavien sähköisille kyselylomakkeille nimettöminä kirjoittamista vastauksista. Analysoin tutkimusaineiston teemoittelemalla sekä samansisältöisiä vastauksia ryhmittelemällä. Käytin teemoittelussa apuna graafisia symboleita kuvaamaan, missä vastauksissa ilmenee tiettyyn teemaan tai aihealueeseen liittyviä asiasisältöjä.
Tulokset. Tutkimukseni mukaan muutostyökalu tukee asiakkaan tai läheisen vuorovaikutustavoissa tapahtuneiden muutosten havaitsemista. Muutostyökalusta on myös apua asiakkaan tai läheisen vuorovaikutustavoissa tapahtuneiden muutosten kielentämisessä. Tutkittavien mukaan muutostyökalua tulisi supistaa tässä tutkimuksessa käytetystä versiosta, jotta se palvelisi paremmin käyttäjiensä tarpeita käytännön työssä.

Aims: The aims of this study were to investigate how the users of intensive interaction outcomes table estimate the feasibility of it. I was especially interested whether the outcomes table makes it easier to observe and verbalize the changes in a client’s way to use nonverbal interaction. I also wanted to know how the users of intensive interaction outcomes table evaluate the need of improving it.
Methods: The data of this study were collected with a questionnaire. The participants were found from the intensive interaction group in Facebook and from the email list of Tikoteekki’s specialist Kaisa Martikainen. The answers were classified thematically with the help of graphic symbols.
Results: According to the findings of this study it seems that the intensive interaction outcomes table supports professionals in recognising changes in their client’s ways to use nonverbal interaction. It also helps them in verbalizing the recongized changes. The participants would develop the form by shorting it. It would make it easier to be used in everyday work.

Cabin Crew Members' Workplace Well-being at Airpro Ltd
No full textThe beginning of the 2020 decade hasn’t been easy on people working at the aviation industry. Especially cabin crew members have faced one of the challenging obstacles so far, COVID-19 pandemic. When writing this thesis at the end of the year 2021, the world has opened again, aviation business is recovering slowly or even rapidly back to normal. Still, that does not indicate the pandemic is over. It is still a threat. Although the corona pandemic still limits travelling at some level depending the country and its laws and restrictions, the author wanted to focus on the post-crisis time, getting back to work after a long break and workplace well-being and it’s phenomena.
The author of the thesis is a cabin crew member herself and therefore interested to research cabin crew members workplace well-being at Airpro Ltd who is the commissioner of the thesis and an employer of the author. The objective was to find answers to research questions as follows: how cabin crew members feel about their workplace well-being at Airpro, what kind of elements on workplace well-being they are satisfied, has Airpro succeeded to maintain a good working atmosphere after getting back to normal operations and what kind of expectations cabin crew members have on future with Airpro Ltd.
Theoretical framework of the thesis concentrates on workplace well-being and what kind of actions it requires to have a work community where employers and employees feel their work effort is meaningful and their well-being is a priority. The second part of the framework presents crisis management phases, different approaches to crises and crisis communication, from the internal point of view. Theoretical framework includes the introduction of the commission organization, Airpro Ltd and briefly introduces the basic model of a charter airline.
The targeted research group is cabin crew members of Sunclass Airlines that Airpro Ltd operates in Finland. The research method is a method used in qualitative research, theme interviews.Theme interviews were organized in November 2021 virtually at Microsoft Teams platform. The theme interviews included four different themes, workplace well-being in general, workplace well-being at Airpro, crisis communication and communication regarding going back to work after a break and values and future at Airpro.
The author managed to get six interviews and the main findings of the qualitative theme interviews were that cabin crew members felt their cabin crew work community is close, supportive, and motivating where a role of Airpro being their employer was seen distant and unclear. The future was seen brighter than before yet on-going negotiations regarding new collective labor agreement were seen worrying and raised a fear of worsening working conditions
Airport marketing trends : the impact on customer experience at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport
No full textThis thesis focuses on the most significant airport marketing trends that have developed the aviation industry in current decade. The objective is to look into how the new airport marketing approaches affect on the airport customers at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, and whether they have a more positive or negative impact on their airport experience. The marketing trends that the author focuses on are advocacy, crowdsourcing, innovative air service development, social care, storytelling, red carpet and virtual shopping.
In order to meet the thesis objectives, the author gathered profound knowledge of the current airport marketing trends, airport marketing research techniques and Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. As primary sources, the author interviewed the Customer Insight Manager of Finavia, and conducted an airport passenger questionnaire. Finally, a hundred Helsinki airport passengers were interviewed about their personal experiences of the airport marketing.
The results indicate that most of the marketing activities have an impact on airport customer experience. Social care improves the customer experience most significantly, and it was found out that the customers value human to human service over social media or other online channel services that the airports focus on developing. Virtual shopping and crowdsourcing opportunities had very high demand and would potentially improve the customer experience at the airport. When it comes to connecting with the airport product, storytelling and advocacy marketing have lots of potential but are yet performed ineffectively, according to the customers.
The author estimates that today’s connected passengers will require more attention in the airport’s commercial development. Customers are willing to not only consume, but also communicate and connect with the airport product. Currently, customer experience and marketing research teams are relatively small compared to the commercial departments at the airports. In addition, commercial success and increased profit of marketing activities do not measure the airports key performances. By co-operating more closely with the customers and communicating efficiently with them, the airports are able generate a higher value for their commercial activities.Tämä opinnäytetyö keskittyy tärkeimpiin lentokenttämarkinnoinnin trendeihin, jotka ovat kehittäneet ilmailualaa tällä vuosikymmenellä. Tavoitteena on tutkia, kuinka uudenlaiset lähestymistavat lentokenttämarkkinoinissa vaikuttavat Helsinki-Vantaa lentokentän asiakkaisiin, ja onko niillä ennemmin positiivisia vai negatiivisia yhteyksiä asiakaskokemukseen. Markkinointitrendit, joihin opinnäytetyö keskittyy, ovat asiakaskannatus, asiakasosallisuus, innovatiivinen ilmailupalvelukehitys, sosiaalinen huolenpito, tarinankerronta, kiinalaisille kohdennettu markkinointi, sekä virtuaaliostaminen.
Saavuttaakseen tutkimustavoitteet, opinnäytetyö sisältää perusteellisesti koottua tietoa tämänhetkisistä lentokenttämarkinoinnin trendeistä, tutkimusmenetelmistä, sekä Helsinki-Vantaan lentokentästä. Ensisijaisina lähteinä on käytetty Finavian tutkimuspäällikkö Sanna Vatjuksen haastattelua, sekä lentokentällä toteutettua matkustajakyselyä. Osana tätä opinnäytetyötä, kaiken kaikkiaan sataa matkustajaa haastateltiin heidän henkilökohtaisista kokemuksistaan Helsinki-Vantaan lentokentällä.
Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että suurin osa markkinointiaktiviteeteistä vaikuttavat asiakaskokemukseen lentokentällä. Sosiaalinen huolenpito parantaa asiakaskokemusta kaikista merkittävimmin, ja tutkimuksessa havaittiin että asiakkaat arvostavat ihmiskontaktia palvelutilanteissa ennemmin kuin online- tai sosiaalisen median kanavia, joita lentokentät parhaillaan kehittävät. Virtuaaliosto- ja asiakkaiden osallistumismahdollisuudet herättivät paljon kysyntää ja mahdollisesti parantaisivat asiakaskokemusta lentokentällä. Kun puhutaan asiakkaan sitoutumisesta lentokenttäbrändiin, tarinankerronta ja asiakaskannatus markkinoinnilla on paljon potentiaalia, mutta eivät ole asiakkaiden mukaan toteutuneet kentällä tehokkaasti.
Tuloksista voidaan päätellä, että tämän päivän verkostoituneet matkustajat vaativat enemmän huomiota lentokentän kaupallisessa kehityksessä. Asiakkaat eivät tahdo vain kuluttaa, vaan myös kommunikoida ja sitoutua ”lentokenttätuotteeseen”. Tällä hetkellä asiakaskokemus- ja markkinointitutkimustiimit ovat suhteellisen pieniä kaupallisiin osastoihin verrattuna. Lisäksi, markkinoinnin kaupallinen menestys ja kasvava liikevoitto eivät takaa lentokentälle menestyvää toimintakykyä. Tiivimmällä yhteistyöllä ja tehokkaammalla kommunikoinnilla asiakkaiden kanssa lentokentät pystyvät luomaan enemmän arvoa myös kaupallisille toiminnoilleen
