Como tem a dinâmica do Futebol de elite evoluído ao longo das últimas três décadas? Aplicação da Teoria da Generabilidade

Soccer dynamics have evolved in response to environmental fac- tors such as match status, type of competition, and competition stage. Ob- servational analysis has shed light into the behavior of players, but few re- searchers have looked at the complexity of the interactions between players and their teams over time. Here we investigated the variables in;uencing the patterns of play and the evolution of tactical and technical behaviors through the last three decades. A retrospective inferential study was applied. SoccerEye observational instrument and recording software were used to observe and record 45 matches and 6791 attacks from European and World Cup semi-<nals and <nals between 1982 and 2010. Publicly available broadcast footage was used for the analysis. Generalizability theory was used as the basis of the statistical analysis. =e patterns of pl ay changed by 31.4% from 1982 to 2010. Team dynamics were in;uenced by match s tatus (28.0%), competition stage (26.5%), and game period (18.1%). During the last decade (2002-2010), teams tended to use less the dribble and running with the ball but to increase long passing rate. During 2002-2010 decade, the frequency of attacks down the wings was higher than in 1982-2000, probably a result of the numerical disadvantage of the attacking team in the area of play. Soccer dynamics have changed towards more teamwork and less individual work over the last 30 years. However, not only time, but also match status, competition stage, and game period have in; uenced the patterns of play.
Evolutionary Adaptations of Parasitic Flatworms to Different Oxygen Tensions

During the evolution of the Earth, the increase in the atmospheric concentration of oxygen gave rise to the development of organisms with aerobic metabolism, which utilized this molecule as the ultimate electron acceptor, whereas other organisms maintained an anaerobic metabolism. Platyhelminthes exhibit both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism depending on the availability of oxygen in their environment and/or due to differential oxygen tensions during certain stages of their life cycle. As these organisms do not have a circulatory system, gas exchange occurs by the passive diffusion through their body wall. Consequently, the flatworms developed several adaptations related to the oxygen gradient that is established between the aerobic tegument and the cellular parenchyma that is mostly anaerobic. Because of the aerobic metabolism, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is produced in abundance. Catalase usually scavenges H2O2 in mammals; however, this enzyme is absent in parasitic platyhelminths. Thus, the architecture of the antioxidant systems is different, depending primarily on the superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and peroxiredoxin enzymes represented mainly in the tegument. Here, we discuss the adaptations that parasitic flatworms have developed to be able to transit from the different metabolic conditions to those they are exposed to during their life cycle.
Flight Deck Interval Management Avionics: Eye-Tracking Analysis

Interval Management (IM) is one NexGen method for achieving airspace efficiencies. In order to initiate IM procedures, Air Traffic Control provides an IM clearance to the IM aircraft's pilots that indicates an intended spacing from another aircraft (the target to follow - or TTF) and the point at which this should be achieved. Pilots enter the clearance in the flight deck IM (FIM) system; and once the TTF's Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast signal is available, the FIM algorithm generates target speeds to meet that IM goal. This study examined four Avionics Conditions (defined by the instrumentation and location presenting FIM information) and three Notification Methods (defined by the visual and aural alerts that notified pilots to IM-related events). Current commercial pilots flew descents into Dallas/Fort-Worth in a high-fidelity commercial flight deck simulation environment with realistic traffic and communications. All 12 crews experienced each Avionics Condition, where order was counterbalanced over crews. Each crew used only one of the three Notification Methods. This paper presents results from eye tracking data collected from both pilots, including: normalized number of samples falling within FIM displays, normalized heads-up time, noticing time, dwell time on first FIM display look after a new speed, a workload-related metric, and a measure comparing the scan paths of pilot flying and pilot monitoring; and discusses these in the context of other objective (vertical and speed profile deviations, response time to dial in commanded speeds, out-of-speed-conformance and reminder indications) and subjective measures (workload, situation awareness, usability, and operational acceptability).
Building Damage Assessment Based on Siamese Hierarchical Transformer Framework

The rapid and accurate damage assessment of buildings plays a critical role in disaster response. Based on pairs of pre- and post-disaster remote sensing images, effective building damage level assessment can be conducted. However, most existing methods are based on Convolutional Neural Network, which has limited ability to learn the global context. An attention mechanism helps ameliorate this problem. Hierarchical Transformer has powerful potential in the remote sensing field with strong global modeling capability. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage damage assessment framework called SDAFormer, which embeds a symmetric hierarchical Transformer into a siamese U-Net-like network. In the first stage, the pre-disaster image is fed into a segmentation network for building localization. In the second stage, a two-branch damage classification network is established based on weights shared from the first stage. Then, pre- and post-disaster images are delivered to the network separately for damage assessment. Moreover, a spatial fusion module is designed to improve feature representation capability by building pixel-level correlation, which establishes spatial information in Swin Transformer blocks. The proposed framework achieves significant improvement on the large-scale building damage assessment dataset—xBD.
Prevalence of Periodontitis among Patients Diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing Samples of Healthy Patients

Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition caused by a bacterial plaque and characterized by progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting apparatus. Patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) exhibit a connective tissue disorder, which can also affect oral soft and hard tissue. Thus, the aims of this cross-sectional study were to assess the association between periodontitis and MFS and secondly, to compare periodontal parameters and prevalence of disease with a control group (CG) without MFS. 152 patients (MFS = 76, CG = 76) were recruited to evaluate the following periodontal parameters: probing depth, gingival margin, clinical attachment level, plaque index, and bleeding on probing. The 2017 World Workshop guideline was followed for the diagnosis of the periodontal status. A multivariate analysis was performed using a multinomial logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, and smoking. The level of significance required was p < 0.05. Patients with MFS did not show a higher prevalence of periodontitis compared to the CG. However, patients with MFS did have higher values in probing depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, and plaque index compared to the CG patients (p < 0.05). In conclusion, although similar prevalence of periodontitis was found among the studied groups, MFS patients showed worse periodontal parameters.
Geographical Variation in the Growth and Nutritional Traits of Leaf Powder from Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L’Hér. ex Vent. from Different Provenances

Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L’Hér. ex Vent, a perennial deciduous tree, is used in feed, medicine, papermaking, environmental protection, and ecological restoration. This paper ttook 33 provenances from the natural distribution as the research objects, observes their growth and nutritional traits, and analyzes the laws of geographical variation. The repeatability was 0.80–0.88 and 0.48–0.91, respectively. The correlation was significant (the correlation coefficient was 0.764). The variation is greatly affected by the latitudinal direction. Through clustering, the 33 provenances were clustered into 4 groups and most provenances with relatively close geographical origins were clustered together, showing differences between different geographical regions. Using leaf biomass (0.4662 g) and crude protein content (14.39%) as the selection index, the Sichuan Mianyang (SCMY), Chongqing Kaizhou (CQKZ), Shanghai (SH), and Fujian Nanping (FJNP) provenances were selected as fast-growing, high-yield, and high-quality paper mulberry provenances. This study provides the basis for the selection of excellent paper mulberry trees.

Penderita TBC harus lebih memperhatikan upaya pencegahan penularan TBC dan aktif mengikuti penyuluhan.
Multi-layered predictors of ESE policy adoption in large school districts in the United States

Abstract Prior research on environmental and sustainability education policies has largely focused on the international to national policy uptake. This article explores such policies at the subnational level in a fragmented education system. Over the past two decades, a growing number of school districts in the United States have enacted sustainability-oriented policies through the implementation of simultaneous efforts to green their facilities and provide related educational programming. This article explores the breadth of this approach in the 200 largest school districts in the country. In examining policy predictors at the district, municipal, and state levels, the study combines National Center for Education Statistics data and information from a systematic web scan. Using logistic regression, the analysis is grounded in an expanded Advocacy Coalition Framework and reveals four main findings. First, school districts under mayoral control are more likely to have a policy than districts governed by a school board. Second, the study underscores the interconnectedness of these policies with the sustainability efforts of the municipalities they are located in. Third, school districts located in large cities are more likely to have a policy. Fourth, a strong environmental movement in the state is associated with the presence of a policy.
Obesity treatment initiation, retention, and outcomes in the Veterans Affairs MOVE! Program among rural and urban veterans

Rural veterans have high obesity rates. Yet, little is known about this population's engagement with the Veterans Affairs (VA) weight management program (MOVE! ). The study objective is to determine whether MOVE! enrollment, anti‐obesity medication use, bariatric surgery use, retention, and outcomes differ by rurality for veterans with severe obesity.
Campus Activities Boards: Student Self Ratings for Officers and Committee Members

This study explored student self-ratings of leaders and members of the campus activities board on the ten NACA core competencies at seven Midwest public institutions. Advisor ratings were collected and compared to students’ ratings and length of time of participation for students was also collected. Student and advisor ratings were negatively correlated and there was a statistical significant difference in the means. Student leaders and members did not show any difference on self-ratings of the ten core competencies and length of time did not impact the ratings either.
The Survey on Students’ Satisfaction Degree towards Online Learning during Covid-19 Pandemic Condition

The present study aimed at describing the satisfaction level of the university students in online learning at STKIP Muhammadiyah Barru during the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The research participants were 30 students of the Guidance and Counseling study program in the first semester on the academic year of 2021/2022. To collect data, researchers distributed questionnaire items to participants via Google forms, then analyzed the data qualitatively. The result of students’ responses to the questionnaire showed that in overall, 14 students (46.7%) of Guidance and Counseling Study Program at STKIP Muhammadiyah Barru were satisfied with the implementation of online learning organized by the campus, 10 other students (33.3%) stated that they were very satisfied, although there were also a small number namely 6 students (20%) expressed dissatisfaction. The satisfaction of the majority of students were found in the lecturers’ role factor as a facilitator, and the good communication interaction factor to lecturers and to classmates. Students’ dissatisfaction was generally found in the learning effectiveness factor, where students stated that they were bored with the independent assignments given by lecturers via online.
Analysis of Spatial-Temporal Variations of Surface Water Quality in the Southern Province of Vietnamese Mekong Delta Using Multivariate Statistical Analysis

The study aimed to assess the variation in surface water quality in the Tien Giang province, Vietnam, and at the same time identify the main sources of water pollution. The surface water quality samples were collected at 34 locations (NM01-NM34) with 17 surface water quality indicators in March, June, September and November in canals and rivers in the Tien Giang province. Multivariate statistical analysis methods, including principal com ponent analysis (PCA), cluster analysis (CA) and numerical discriminant analysis (DA), were used to analyze the variability and key indicators affecting the effect of multivariate statistical analysis. The analysis results show that the surface water quality in the study area is contaminated with organic (low DO, high BOD and COD) and nutrients (NH 4 + -N, NO 2- -N, PO 4 3- -P and TP), salinity (high Cl - ). The PCA results showed that 14/17 surface water environmental parameters to be monitored are pH, temperature, TSS, BOD, COD, NH 4 + -N, NO 2- -N, PO 4 3- -P, TP, SO 4 2- , Cl - , coliform and Fe. The PCA analysis showed that PC1-PC4 accounted for 79.70% of the variation in surface water quality in the study area. Potential surface water polluting sources include hydrological regime, do mestic waste, agricultural production, industrial production activities. The CA results showed that 34 monitoring locations can be reduced to 27 locations, with a frequency of 4 times/year to ensure surface water quality repre -sentativeness. The DA indicated that the indicators of EC, SO 4 2- and Cl - made the difference of the surface water quality between the wet and dry seasons. The current results provide important information on the current state of water quality for different uses and contribute to the improvement of the surface water quality monitoring system in the Tien Giang province.
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing of the immune checkpoint NKG2A enhances NK cell mediated cytotoxicity against multiple myeloma

ABSTRACT Natural Killer (NK) cells are known for their high intrinsic cytotoxic capacity, and the possibility to be applied as ‘off-the-shelf’ product makes them highly attractive for cell-based immunotherapies. In patients with multiple myeloma (MM), an elevated number of NK cells has been correlated with higher overall-survival rate. However, NK cell function can be impaired by upregulation of inhibitory receptors, such as the immune checkpoint NKG2A. Here, we developed a CRISPR-Cas9-based gene editing protocol that allowed us to knockout about 80% of the NKG2A-encoding killer cell lectin like receptor C1 (KLRC1) locus in primary NK cells. In-depth phenotypic analysis confirmed significant reduction in NKG2A protein expression. Importantly, the KLRC1-edited NK cells showed significantly increased cytotoxicity against primary MM cells isolated from a small cohort of patients, and maintained the NK cell-specific cytokine production. In conclusion, KLRC1-editing in primary NK cells has the prospect of overcoming immune checkpoint inhibition in clinical applications.
Control Power Optimization using Artificial Intelligence for Forward Swept Wing and Hybrid Wing Body Aircraft

Many futuristic aircraft such as the Hybrid Wing Body have numerous control surfaces that can result in large hinge moments, high actuation power demands, and large actuator forces/moments. Also, there is no unique relationship between control inputs and the aircraft response. Distinct sets of control surface deflections may result in the same aircraft response, but with large differences in actuation power. An Artificial Neural Network and a Genetic Algorithm were used here for the control allocation optimization problem of a Hybrid Wing Body to minimize the Sum of Absolute Values of Hinge Moments for a 2.5G pull-up maneuver. To test the versatility of the same optimization process for different aircraft configurations, the present work also investigates its application on the Forward Swept Wing aircraft. A method to improve the robustness of the process is also presented. Constraints on the load factor and longitudinal pitch rate were added to the optimization to preserve the trim constraints on the control deflections. Another method was developed using stability derivatives. This new method provided better results, and the computational time was reduced by two orders of magnitude. A hybrid scheme combining both methods was also developed to provide a real-time estimate of the optimum control deflection schedules to trim the airplane and minimize the actuation power for changing flight conditions (Mach number, altitude and load factor) in a pull-up maneuver. Finally, the stability derivatives method and the hybrid scheme were applied for an antisymmetric, steady roll maneuver.

Who are the Māori “in-between”? Indigenous diversity and inequity across descent, ethnicity and Iwi knowledge

ABSTRACT Policies increasingly reinforce the self-determination of Indigenous peoples, but issues remain around group definitions. Colonization has led to (de)identification with Māori (New Zealand's Indigenous peoples) identity markers. We explore differences between Māori on combinations of descent, ethnicity and Iwi (extended kinship group) knowledge in the 2013 Census, and self-reported discrimination. There were six groups within the Māori descent population: two did not know their Iwi – some identified solely as Māori ethnicity (2.8 per cent) – or Māori plus another ethnicity(-ies; 6.8 per cent); two did not identify as Māori ethnicity: more named their Iwi (7.2 per cent), than not (6.9 per cent); the largest groups knew their Iwi and identified as Māori ethnicity, either solely (30.8 per cent), or alongside another ethnicity(-ies; 34.3 per cent). We found a pattern of differences across demographics and discrimination, highlighting the complexity of Māori identity and the need to account for differences within Indigenous groups.
Anthropogenic monoterpenes aggravating ozone pollution

Abstract Monoterpenes have been known to have a critical influence on air quality and climate change through their impact on the formation of fine particles. Here we present field evidence that monoterpene oxidations largely enhanced local ozone production in a regional site in eastern China. The observed monoterpene was most likely from biomass burning rather than biogenic emissions, as indicated by the high correlation with CO at night-time, and the observed ratio of these two species was consistent with previously determined values from biomass burning experiments. Fast monoterpene oxidations were determined experimentally based on direct radical measurements, leading to a daily ozone enhancement of 4–18 parts per billion by volume (ppb), which was 6%–16% of the total ozone production, depending on the speciation of monoterpenes. It demonstrates that the previously overlooked anthropogenic monoterpenes make an important contribution to O3 production in eastern China. The role could possibly be important at similar locations across China and other parts of the world that are characterized by massive emissions, especially where there are high NOx levels. Our results highlight that anthropogenic monoterpenes should be taken into account when proceeding with the coordinated mitigation of O3 and particulate matter pollution.
