Physical fitness 11-12 years boys who train judo and those who do not practise sport

Background & Study Aim: The incessant technological progress and negative effects of environmental pollution which are felt more and more by an ordinary human being are the phenomena which have impact on the development of civilisation diseases. Judo by the authors of many publications is recommended as the optimal sport life for all. The aim of the study was the knowledge about overall physical fitness of school youth who train judo and who do not practice any sport. Materials & Methods: The study group consisted of 44 boys 11-12 years old, including 22 persons who train judo (three times a week for 90 minutes each training session) and 22 boys who do not practice any sport. The Test of Physical Fitness (development by the International Committee on the Standardisation of Physical Fitness Test) was used in the study. Test results based on the score tables and were subjected to statistical calculations. An arithmetic mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis and Student’s t-test were calculated for independent samples. Results: Boys who train judo do not exceed on the level statistically significant boys who do not practice any sport only in 3 tests: a run over a distance of 50 meters; a run over a distance of 600 meters (boys 11 years old, and 800 meters 12 years old); handgrip strength. The difference in results of the other 5 tests is significant (p<0.0005) on the plus side of judokas. Also, the average sum of the difference scors (judokas 517.45, boys who do not practice sport 452.91) is statistically significant (p<0.01). Among young judokas individual differences are much smaller. In the group of boys who do not practice sport three (13.64%) revealed very low levels of overall physical fitness (sum of scores 316 to 318). Conclusion: Assuming that before the start of judo training both groups of boys did not differ significantly in terms of overall physical fitness and empirical data suggest that most stimulate these exercises: power and muscle strength, agility, flexibility. These features are cited as very important for the motor safety and the health positive of man throughout his life.
Will rising CO2 protect plants from the midday sun? A study of photoinhibition of Quercus myrtifolia in a scrub‐oak community in two seasons

Over a large part of the photoperiod, light energy absorbed by upper canopy leaves saturates photosynthesis and exceeds the energetic requirements for light-saturated linear electron flow through photosystem II ( J PSII ), so that photoinhibition results. From a theoretical consideration of the response of light-saturated photosynthesis to elevated atmospheric CO 2 partial pressure ( p CO 2 ) it may be predicted that, where light-saturated photosynthesis is Rubisco-limited, an increase in p CO 2 will stimulate J PSII . Therefore, the proportion of absorbed quanta dissipated photochemically will increase and the potential for photoinhibition of photosynthesis will decrease. This was tested by measuring modulated chlorophyll a fluorescence from Quercus myrtifolia Willd. growing in the field in open-top chambers, at either current ambient or elevated (ambient +35 Pa) p CO 2 on Merritt Island, Florida, USA. During spring and summer, light-saturated photosynthesis at current ambient p CO 2 was Rubisco-limited. Consistent with theoretical prediction, J PSII was increased and photoinhibition decreased by elevated p CO 2 in spring. In the summer, when growth had largely ceased, an acclimatory decrease in the maximum Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate saturated carboxylation capacity ( V c max ) removed the stimulation of J PSII seen in the spring, and photoinhibition was increased in elevated p CO 2 . It is concluded that, for Q. myrtifolia growing in the field, the effects of elevated p CO 2 on J PSII and photoinhibition will reflect seasonal differences in photosynthetic acclimation to elevated p CO 2 in a predictable manner.
Applying Elements of Contra Dance to Reduce Symptoms in Children with High-Functioning Autism

This paper will focus primarily on a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, specifically High-Functioning Autism, who attended a summer camp in 2015. A definition of autism and how it affects a diagnosed child will be explained. Analysis of the benefits of group dance/movement therapy (DMT) with children diagnosed within the autism spectrum will also be presented. Additionally, past documented studies regarding this population and the use of dance/movement therapy as a catalyst for reducing symptoms of autism will be described. Focusing on three specific goals (commitment, community, interpersonal/intrapersonal relationships) this paper will describe how the Contra Dance form can be implemented into DMT sessions with this population. Finally, this paper will conclude with a case study, demonstrating why incorporating Contra Dance form into group DMT sessions within autism populations can reduce symptoms of those diagnosed.
The Immunoprotective Efficacy of Exopolysaccharides Produced from Different Strains of Pseudomonas syringae against Human Pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa

EXOPOLYSACCHARIDES (EPS) produced from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, P. syringae davson 973 and P. syringae pv. coriandricola 908 were studied. Mice immunized (i.p.) with bacterial EPS preparations from three strains (divided into 3 days) and in the fifth day, challenged (s.c.) with 1 ml of human pathogen P. aeruginosa 3 to each mouse, all groups of mice showed an increase in total leukocyte counts as well as neutrophil and monocyte numbers if compared with saline control group. Studing the active immunization by purified bacterial EPS on the counts of P. aeruginosa in lungs, spleens and livers of challenged mice revealed the protection of organs against bacteremia. Thus, the immunoprotective characters of the three purified EPSs could be concluded and recommended for prophylactic applications.
SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF GLIMEP I RIDE, PIOGLITAZO NE HYDROCHLORIDE AND METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE BY DERIVATIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY METHOD

The simple and accurate method of analysis to determine G limepride (GLM), P ioglitazone hydrochloride (PIO) and M etformin hydrochloride (MET) in combined dosage forms was developed using second - derivative spectrophotometry and. GLM, PIO and MET in combined preparations (tablets) were quantified using the second - derivative responses at 233.4 nm for GLM, 265.4 nm for PIO and 252.6 nm for MET in spectra of their solutions in methanol. The calibration curves were linear [correlation coefficient (r) = 0.9990 for GLM, 0.9990 for PIO and 0.9990 for MET] in the concentration range of 5 - 25 μg/m l for GLM, 5 – 25 μg/m l for PIO and 2 – 12 μg/m l for MET. The method was validated and found to be accurate, precise, and specific. The method was successfully applied to the estimation of GLM, PIO

Predicting of oak wood properties using X-ray inspection: representation, homogenisation and localisation. Part II: Computation of macroscopic properties and microscopic stress fields

Utilisation de l'imagerie X pour la prediction du bois de chene: representation, homogeneisation et localisation. Partie II: Calcul des proprietes macroscopiques et des champs de micro-contraintes. Cet article est la deuxieme partie d'une approche complete qui permet de predire les proprietes elastiques et de retrait du chene a partir des proprietes des tissus qui le composent et de leur distribution spatiale decrite par un systeme d'imagerie X de haute resolution spatiale. Le calcul des proprietes macroscopique est effectue par homogeneisation de milieux periodiques sur un volume elementaire representatif a partir d'un code numerique 2-D, appele MorphoPore. Ce papier commence par la presentation de la formulation mecanique. Viennent ensuite quelques considerations sur l'effet du raffinement du maillage numerique. A l'aide de plans ligneux virtuels, le premier exemple d'application montre l'effet de la proportion des fibres et de la forme de zone de fibres sur les proprietes macroscopiques. Le deuxieme exemple utilise deux plans ligneux reels, provenant du meme arbre. La seconde zone produite juste apres eclaircie, a un accroissement annuel tres important. Notre approche permet de quantifier l'augmentation des rigidites et des coefficients de retrait. Enfin, deux exemples de localisation sont proposes. Cette demarche permet le calcul des champs de micro-contraintes a partir du chargement macroscopique de la structure. Le premier cas considere l'absence de contrainte macroscopique (retrait libre) tandis que le deuxieme considere que le deplacement est bloque selon une direction (zone externe d'une planche durant le sechage).

School of Accounting Seminar – Session 2 , 2011 Restoration and Rehabilitatyion Provisions in the Australian Materials and Energy Sectors : Estimation and Valuation Implications

This paper examines restoration and rehabilitation provisions in the Australian materials and energy sectors. The issue is interesting in light of recent moves by the Obama administration to introduce an Abandoned Mine Land fee on hard rock mining in the U.S. context. We provide evidence on a descriptive level that restoration and rehabilitation provisions are economically significant to the firm when compared with total provision, liabilities, assets and market capitalisation. Our study has two primary objectives. First, we identify the firm characteristics which influence the level of the provision. In doing so this paper contributes to the prior literature such as Barth and McNichols (1994) by developing an „ex-ante‟ levels model of environmental provisions. Prior studies have mainly examined „ex-post‟ regulatory enforced obligations such as superfund liabilities. Second, we examine whether the market prices the difference between the expected and recognised restoration and rehabilitation accrual and find evidence of the value relevance of under provisions. Keywords; restoration and rehabilitation provision, disclosure, extractive industries. JEL classification: M4, L72
Rearing density effect on the production performance of the edible snail Helix aspersa Müller in indoor rearing

Six different indoor rearing densities (250 to 500 animals per m 2 ) were tested. Three repeats were carried out for each density. The following were recorded: feed intake, weight and number of adult individuals (animals with a reflected peristome), non-adult weight at the end of the experiment, and mortality. A simplified calculation of gross margin is also presented. It was observed that, at low densities, the animals consumed more, were bigger and more of them became adults. How- ever, the total amount of biomass produced is greater at higher densities. If the breeder merely fattens the snails, then the gross margin is maximal at a density of 250 animals per m 2 . If the breeder fattens and cooks his own produce, then the gross margin is maximal at high densities. Compared to the mixed rearing method currently used, the performances observed in this indoor rearing experiment could be improved further (particularly in terms of the percentage of adult animals obtained).
Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): The stellar mass budget of galaxy spheroids and discs

We build on a recent photometric decomposition analysis of 7506 Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey galaxies to derive stellar mass function fits to individual spheroid and disk component populations down to a lower mass limit of log(M_*/M_sun)= 8. We find that the spheroid/disk mass distributions for individual galaxy morphological types are well described by single Schechter function forms. We derive estimates of the total stellar mass densities in spheroids (rho_spheroid = 1.24+/-0.49 * 10^8 M_sun Mpc^-3 h_0.7) and disks (rho_disk = 1.20+/-0.45 * 10^8 M_sun Mpc^-3 h_0.7), which translates to approximately 50% of the local stellar mass density in spheroids and 48% in disks. The remaining stellar mass is found in the dwarf "little blue spheroid" class, which is not obviously similar in structure to either classical spheroid or disk populations. We also examine the variation of component mass ratios across galaxy mass and group halo mass regimes, finding the transition from spheroid to disk mass dominance occurs near galaxy stellar mass ~10^11 M_sun and group halo mass ~10^12.5 M_sun/h. We further quantify the variation in spheroid-to-total mass ratio with group halo mass for central and satellite populations as well as the radial variation of this ratio within groups.
Corrupted GOOSE Detectors: Anomaly Detection in Power Utility Real-Time Ethernet Communications

GOOSE protocol is used for critical protection operations in the power grid, as standardized by IEC61850. It thus has strong real-time constraints that make very hard to implement any security means for integrity and confidentiality such as encryption or signature. Our answer to this lack of dedicated cybersecurity measures is to check legitimacy of every GOOSE messages flowing over the managed network. When detectors issue an alert, the SCADA informs field devices to discard GOOSE communication and run an alternative protection strategy. This article focuses on the GOOSE attack detectors we developed: one dedicated to Ethernet storm and the other one to fraudulent GOOSE frames. The paper first introduces main GOOSE protocol mechanisms and gives a brief state of the art regarding GOOSE attack management before presenting our architecture and the detectors.
(Incorporating) Adjunct Displays: a Step toward Facilitation of Reading Comprehension

Two types of adjunct displays, graphic organizer and outline, were compared with text display to determine which one facilitates text comprehension by L2 learners. The results indicated the superiority of adjunct displays. However, no difference was observed between graphic organizers and outlines. Also it was found that low proficiency learners benefited from adjunct displays more than high proficiency ones. The results support the pedagogical potential of adjunct displays as text facilitators. The findings are discussed within the framework of the theories behind adjunct display effect.

Foliar Application of Gibberelic Acid on Growth and Flowering of Gerbera Cultivars

An experiment was conducted at Rooftop Garden under 2abotech lab, Department of Horticulture, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during November 2012 to July 2013 to find out growth and yield performance of potted Gerbera against foliar application of different concentration of Gibberelic acid (GA3). Three varieties viz. V1 (red), V2 (brick red), V3 (pink) and four GA3 concentrations viz. G0: 0 ppm, G1: 100 ppm, G2: 150ppm, G3: 200 ppm were evaluated in the experiment. Maximum number of flower (22.1), flower bud diameter (3.6 cm), peduncle length (29.3 cm), peduncle diameter (1.9 mm) and flower head diameter (8.6 cm) were found from V2 while G2 provided maximum number of flower (24.0), longest peduncle (28.3), maximum peduncle diameter (1.7) but G2 and G3 both provided maximum flower bud diameter (3.1 cm) and flower head diameter (8.1 cm). V2G2 was found as the best treatment combination.
Addressing the Speech Analyst's Dilemma : Towards the identification of clausal boundaries in emerging oral exchanges

This article addresses a current issue in the field of conversation analysis. Presently, there is little consistency among researchers in the types of speech units used to analyze spoken discourse, which hinders the comparability and replication of findings across studies. This stems from the lack of transparency and authenticity in the literature regarding how speech units are defined and exemplified. Using the specific example of how the primary discourse context attracting backchannels in English, the clausal boundary, is identified in dynamic, emerging and spontaneous oral exchanges, this paper provides a comprehensive and replicable model for future studies to follow. Pedagogical implications are also briefly discussed.
Exotic crayfish in a brown water stream: effects on juvenile trout, invertebrates and algae

SUMMARY 1. The impact of the introduced omnivorous signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus )o n trout fry, macroinvertebrates and algae was evaluated in a brown water stream in southern Sweden using in situ enclosures. We also examined the gut content of all surviving crayfish in the enclosures. Two crayfish densities in addition to a control without crayfish were used in replicate enclosures (1.26 m 2 ) in a 1-month experiment. Additionally, 20 trout fry (Salmo trutta) were stocked in each enclosure to assess the effects of crayfish on trout survival and growth. 2. Detritus was the most common food item in crayfish guts. Animal fragments were also frequent while algae and macrophytes were scarcer. Crayfish exuviae were found in crayfish guts, but the frequency of cannibalism was low. 3. Trout survival in enclosures was positively related to water velocity but was unaffected by crayfish. 4. Total invertebrate biomass and taxon richness were lower in crayfish treatments. The biomass of all predatory invertebrate taxa was reduced but only three of six non-predatory taxa were reduced in the crayfish treatments. 5. Epiphytic algal biomass (measured as chlorophyll a, on plastic strips) was not related to crayfish density, whereas the biomass of epilithic algae (measured as chlorophyll a) was enhanced by high water velocity and high crayfish density. The latter was possibly mediated via improved light and nutrient conditions, as active crayfish re-suspend and ⁄ or remove detritus and senescent algal cells during periods of low water velocity. 6. We conclude that the introduced signal crayfish may affect stream communities directly and indirectly. Invaded communities will have reduced macroinvertebrate taxon richness and the signal crayfish will replace vulnerable invertebrate predators such as leeches. In streams that transport large amounts of sediment or organic matter, a high density of crayfish is likely to enhance benthic algal production through physical activity rather than via trophic effects.
Knowledge of the general mechanisms responsible for the hydrogen-induced structural and volume changes in hydrides of transition metals and alloys

We describe the synthesis of CeNi 3 D x deuterides at normal and high deuterium pressures. X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques were used to identify the position and determine the positional parameters of the metal and deuterium atoms. The deuterides are isostructural with the parent compound CeNi 3 but have a larger unit cell. Increasing the deuterium content to the composition CeNi 3 D 5.2 leads to partial amorphization of the material. The variation in unit-cell volume observed at low and high deuterium contents indicates that the metal–deuterium bonds are partially ionic and partially metallic. DOI: 10.1134/S0020168507070060
The applications of management accounting techniques in Malaysian companies : an industrial survey / Ibrahim Kamal Abd Rahman, Normah Omar and Zubaidah Zainal Abidin

In exploring the management accounting practices of companies in Malaysia, two categories of companies were chosen: Malaysian-Owned and Multinational corporations (MNCs). The majority of the companies selected were either manufacturing-based or service-based. To assess the level of management accounting applications in these organizations, Akira's "Four-Phase" model was adopted. While a "drifting phase" connotes an extremely low level of application, the "integrated phase" on the other hand deliberately uses the latest management accounting approaches for strategic purposes. Management accounting techniques surveyed include the applications of traditional methods such as Standard Costing, Budgeting and Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) and other integrated approaches such as Just-in-Time (JIT), Activity-Based-Costing (ABC), Benchmarking and Target Costing.
Divorce laws and fertility decisions

This paper explores the effect of divorce law reform on fertility. By modifying the value of marriage, the adoption of no-fault and unilateral divorce may impact fertility decisions. To identify the effects of those reforms on fertility, we use a quasi experiment exploiting the legislative history of divorce liberalization across Europe. Results suggest that divorce law reforms have a negative and permanent effect on fertility. These findings are robust to alternative specifications and controls for unobserved country-specific factors, time-varying factors at the country level, the liberalization of abortion, and the availability of the birth-control pill. Supplemental analysis, developed to understand the mechanisms through which divorce law reforms affect fertility, shows that both marital and out-of-wedlock fertility declines, but that the impact on marital fertility varies depending on whether couples are married prior to or after divorce law reform.
