Ramadan is an important month for Muslims around the world, and for many universities and college campuses, it is an opportunity to celebrate and embrace the diversity of the students here. During this time, it is common for campus organizations and student affairs to organize various events and activities to help foster a sense of community and bring people together. One of the most popular types of events during Ramadan on campus is the distribution of dates. Dates are a traditional food that Muslims break their fast with during Ramadan, and they are a symbol of the holy month. By distributing dates, it is an accessible way for students to break their fasts while on campus. Initially, the distribution of dates can be done in a variety of ways. At Student Central, we put a basket where it is filled with packed dates at the Student Central counter, and the Student Central officer hands out the dates as the students pass by. Overall, the distribution of dates and other Ramadan-related e...

A new benchmark in the field of physiotherapy for diagnostics and intervention is through the non-invasive methods like gait analysis by motion picture. There’s a lot of software available in the market and we found accuracy in picture and analysis in Simi Reality Motion System. Aligned with that, MAHSA University shows a new path for students of Physiotherapy and Sports Science on how to capture motion using Motion Analyzing Simi Machine with hybrid technology. Motion Analysis Biomechanics: Most physiotherapy assessments normally analyze joint motion in different degree manually and it’s always externally and consistently used to face lot of errors in assessment. However, in motion analysis through the Simi Machine, it shows the accuracy of motion where it is restricted and demonstrates angulation variation. Its Characteristics In its system, it has features like three motion capture, 2D Gait analysis, 3D Gait analysis, markless 3D motion tracking, marked 3D motion tracking, and hybri...

Mr Rajan Balakrishnan, who is one of the Physiotherapy Lecturers in the Faculty of Health Sciences (FOHS) MAHSA University, has authored a research paper on "Influence of powerlifting on cardiovascular responses in obese individuals" which was recently published in the International Journal of Physical Education, Sports and Health, Volume 10, Issue 2, 96-99, P-ISSN 2394-1693     Picture: 1.Healthy Powerlifter Powerlifting has three disciplines which are, squat, bench press, and dead lifting. There may be very heavy weights lifted during training and competitions. In the competitions the powerlifter has to lift with each technique 3 times and the highest weight is recorded. It is calculated as four times more than own body weight. During training, muscle strength increased by submaximal loads, and in a previous study, powerlifters exercised, on average, 6.1 ± 2.4 h/week. During the powerlifting techniques the cardiac output gets increased and it increases heart rate within the...

In the past few years, digital and mobile banking have revolutionized the way consumers deal with their savings and bank accounts. Aware of the current revolution, more and more banks are leaving behind the old, traditional banking systems in favour of more interconnected financial solutions for their clients. E-banking services that are more sophisticated provide customers access to their accounts and allow them to make payments or apply for loans via electronic channels. Its features include electronic funds transfer for retail purchases, automatic teller machines (ATMs), and automatic payroll deposits and bill payments. Over the course of the past 30 years, there have been considerable advancements made in the field of online financial services. According to Devlin (1995), the practice of functional demarcation was prevalent up until the early 1970s, when several regulatory limits were put into place. The Internet is a relatively new channel for delivering banking services. Banking ...
