This research was conducted in Kelantan, Malaysia and Dhaka, Bangladesh, based on 75 individuals with T2DM in Kelantan, Malaysia and 75 individuals with T2DM in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They were assessed and matched in the respective set-ups based on the extent of socioeconomic and physiological status through preliminary testing according to inclusion criterions. Participants were randomly categorized into three groups – control group (Group A), and two experimental groups - Group B (Aerobic exercise group subjected to low-moderate aerobic exercise -supervised walking at 40-60% HRmax) and Group C (Combined exercise group subjected to supervised walking at 40-60% HRmax and resistance training exercises) compr...

Altogether eighty-five young male high performing soccer players volunteered as participants, who were subjected to evaluation of motor skills and abilities pertaining to bidirectional and bilateral coordination and dexterity; inner psychobiological status (autonomic indices of phasic skin conductance response habituation paradigm components). At first participants were subjected to evaluation of psychomotor; psychobiological and soccer skill performance parameters. Thereafter they were introduced to audio-visual analyses of their movement errors. The ideomotor motions characterized by proprioceptive kinesthetic actions in the athletes were monitored and those were clarified to them. Psychobiological evaluations revealed inner core emotional...

Migration is an increasingly significant factor in the economic development of Asia and in the livelihood strategies of many poor people within the region. The current literature and policy discourse pay little attention to the contribution of migration to economic ...学位：经济学硕士院系专业：经济学院国际硕士_政治经济学学号：1522008115373

Research indicates that poor motor co-ordination has far reaching implications for social and emotional wellbeing and that DCD occurs not only in children, but that motor difficulties are retained in adulthood.Results: Generalized performance deficit is observed in majority of the children with DCD. Pronounced difficulty in internal (forward) modeling, rhythmic coordination, executive function, gait and postural control, catching and interceptive action, and aspects of sensoriperceptual function were observed in most of the individuals diagnosed with DCD.Conclusions: ...

Methods: Multiple databases were methodically searched for articles related to Developmental Coordination Disorder; only descriptive, intervention or qualitative articles were retained. Results: A generalized performance deficit may be observed in majority of the children with DCD. Pronounced difficulty in internal (forward) modeling, rhythmic coordination, executive function, gait and postural control, catching and interceptive action, and aspects of sensoriperceptual function were observed in most of the individuals diagnosed with DCD. Research indicates that poor motor coordination has far-reaching implications for social and emotional wellbeing. DCD occurs not only in children, as motor difficulties are retained in adulthood. Conclusions: The perceptual motor training approach may result in positive outcomes in motor performance in individuals with DCD. Cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance was observed to be a superior alternative to contemporary coordination treatment approach. Furthermore, psychomotor therapy placing emphasis on music rhythm and sensory integration therapy was observed to have a sustainably facilitative impact.

These modifications lead to improvement in motor and social skills, and wholesome development. Aim: This study intended to explore into efficacy of Young Athletes intervention program developed and organised by the Special Olympic International (SOI), in order to develop motor skills in children diagnosed with intellectual deficiency (ID). Method: Present study was conducted in Bangladesh, following experimental design and protocol provided by SOI, funded by IKEA, supervised by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), and carried out by the experts of Special Olympics Bangladesh (SOBD). Children registered with SOBD (n = 420), aged between 4 to 7 years, who were diagnosed as having ID, were categorised into three different groups, viz., control group, cohort 1 (C1) and continuous survey (CS) group. Thereafter, all of the children were subjected to baseline evaluation of motor skill components, viz., walking, balancing, carrying materials etc. Followed by that, children of C1 and CS groups were introduced to YA activity training (1 hour/week guided training by SOBD experts, and daily practice of those skills for one hour) for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, post-intervention assessment on the aforementioned motor components were carried out to verify impact of YA training on children of CS and C1 groups. Results: Baseline descriptive analysis revealed dissimilarity in Tandem Walking performance scores evident among children of three different groups. Post-intervention analyses revealed no impact of YA activity. Children of both Control and CS groups were evident have similar baseline tandem walking scores, which got marginally improved after 8 weeks of YA training in both of the groups, although children of Control group did not receive any training. Children of C1 group, however, had very poor baseline Tandem walking score, which evidentially got improved after 8 weeks of YA training. Outcomes of multiple linear regression relationships revealed differential predictive relationships. Conclusions: No improvement in tandem walking performance was evident. Regression analyses mostly hinted up on the pre-existing walking and balancing ability of the children, which facilitated improvement in tandem walking after 8 weeks of YA training.

It became imperative for the international community and the United Nations to intervene in limiting the massive humanitarian crisis. The United States carried out several strikes targeting Islamic terrorists in Somalia. The purpose of this paper was to provide a brief overview of governance and conflicts in Somalia and its role in facilitating the rise of various terrorist organizations in the country and the region. In this context, this paper has explored and compared the number of aerial strikes in Somalia under the last three years of President Barack Obama's presidency (2014-2016) and the first three years of President Donald Trump's presidency (2017-2019). The economy of Somalia is recovering slowly and it is improving the lives of people in areas controlled by the Somali Government (BBC News, 2017). President Donald Trump has reduced restrictions on aerial strikes. His policy has led to a significant increase in the number of strikes and casualties. It is yet to be seen if this policy can reduce extremism and terrorism in Somalia. It will also be difficult for the national government to hold a national election given that parts of the country are still controlled by militias and the autonomous territories like Somaliland and Puntland are not likely to cooperate.

Altogether eighty-five young male high performing soccer players volunteered as participants, who were subjected to evaluation of motor skills and abilities pertaining to bidirectional and bilateral coordination and dexterity; inner psychobiological status (autonomic indices of
phasic skin conductance response habituation paradigm components). At first participants were subjected to
evaluation of psychomotor; psychobiological and soccer skill performance parameters. Thereafter they were introduced to audio-visual analyses of their movement errors. The ideomotor motions characterized by proprioceptive kinesthetic actions in the athletes were monitored and those were clarified to them. Psychobiological evaluations revealed inner core emotional processes substantiating unconscious fear of apprehension related to catastrophic athletic performance. Simultaneous training of VMBR consisted of
enhancement in autonomic adaptation followed by the revelation of errors and development of guided imageries to rectify the erroneous components. Outcomes revealed that enhancement in autonomic recovery helped the players to remain more task-focused and to perform optimally at par with the desired standards of psychomotor performance, which evidentially helped them to display enhanced soccer skill performance.

Consequently, lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes have emerged as major public health problems in all over the world. The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus has led to an unprecedented epidemic of death and disability worldwide. Despite this, little is known about what
constitutes cost effective (CE) exercise intervention and lifestyle counselling to prevent and control diabetes within the global population. The objective of this paper was to assess the cost-effectiveness literature of exercise intervention and lifestyle counselling to prevent and control diabetes mellitus and improve the health status of the people. A systematic review has been done based on the published literature on cost effectiveness of exercise interventions to prevent and control diabetes mellitus.
PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and Science Direct were searched in regards to identify cost-effectiveness
evaluation of exercise intervention and lifestyle counselling for preventing and controlling diabetes mellitus among populations around the world. In this review 5 studies reporting on exercise intervention and lifestyle counselling were included. Most of the studies were from the developed
countries. 10 of the 12 exercises and lifestyle counselling interventions included in the analysis were found to be cost-effective by the respective studies. In the case of gestational diabetes it has been seen from the studies that any kind of exercise intervention and lifestyle counselling did not contribute towards cost effectiveness. Apart from that, every form of physical exercises was shown to be consistently cost-effective in the included studies. It has been observed in this review that only a small number of studies examined the cost-effectiveness of exercise intervention and lifestyle counselling to prevent and control diabetes in the world. Given the opportunities and benefits, it is an area where the
health economics and public health fields can play an important role in improving the health of millions
of people, fighting with the non-communicable metabolic disorder, named diabetes.
