Taekwondo sports coaching at Mahameru Club: A basic interpretive study on historical aspects, coaching systems, management resources, and achievement coaching

The Taekwondo sports coaching system necessitates effective organisational management. However, managing a sports organisation unquestionably demands a suitable and accurate concept, one that will ultimately allow the sports organisation to accomplish its objectives. The purpose of this study was to examine the basic interpretation of historical aspects, development systems, management resources, and achievement development. The research method used in this study is qualitative descriptive research, employing a phenomenological research design. The research sample consists of 5 informants, including 1 club founder, 2 club executives, and 2 athlete coaches, selected for direct interviews. Data analysis involves (i) introduction and organization; (ii) coding and reduction; (iii) interpretation and representation. The findings revealed that the coaching system, management resources and Taekwondo achievement development at the Mahameru Club in Sukoharjo Regency were functioning effectively. The limitations of this study are the sample used and the scope of the study which is only one area. As a result, future research should compare and broaden the scope of the study by investigating the factors that influence the implementation of the coaching system, management resources, and achievement development, such as psychological, sociological, and environmental aspects for athletes. The conclusion of this research indicates that this research makes a notable contribution by delving into the uncharted territory of Taekwondo sports coaching at Mahameru Club. It not only fills a knowledge gap but also furnishes practical guidance for the improvement of coaching strategies.
Affecting affect effectively : investigating a haptic-affect platform for guiding physiological responses

This thesis describes the development of a platform for touch-guided anxiety management via engagement with a robot pet. An existing physiological sensor suite and “Haptic Creature” robot pet are modified to influence user physiological responses through real-time interaction guided by physiological data. Participant reaction to and perception of the platform is then investigated in several experiments, with the results from these experiments used to refine the platform design. Finally, an experiment is conducted with elementary school children to investigate the ability of the platform to serve as a comforting presence during a stressful task. It is found that participants were not able to recognize the Creature mimicking their breathing and heart rates. However, once informed of their physiological link to the Creature they were able to use the motion of this device to gain a better awareness of their own physiological state. In addition, the presence of the Creature and its activities are correlated with changes in heart rate, breathing rate, skin conductance, and heart rate variability. These changes are suggestive of a reduction in anxiety. Overall, participant response to the platform was positive, with many participants reporting that they felt the Creature to be comforting and calming. Children in particular were receptive to the Creature, and eager to use it in their stressful environment of school testing. It is found that care must be taken, however, to ensure the platform is presented in an age-appropriate manner, as sudden changes in Creature state can be alarming to the user. The combination of physiological assessment of user affect with a small, physically comforting robot results in a unique system with the potential to serve as a companion or training aide for children or adults with anxiety disorder, especially in clinical and educational settings.
A New Theory about Interfacial Proton Diffusion Revisited: The Commonly Accepted Laws of Electrostatics and Diffusion Prevail

The high propensity of protons to stay at interfaces has attracted much attention over the decades. It enables long-range interfacial proton diffusion without relying on titratable residues or electrostatic attraction. As a result, various phenomena manifest themselves, ranging from spillover in material sciences to local proton circuits between proton pumps and ATP synthases in bioenergetics. In an attempt to replace all existing theoretical and experimental insight into the origin of protons’ preference for interfaces, TELP, the “Transmembrane Electrostatically-Localized Protons” hypothesis, has been proposed. The TELP hypothesis envisions static H+ and OH− layers on opposite sides of interfaces that are up to 75 µm thick. Yet, the separation at which the electrostatic interaction between two elementary charges is comparable in magnitude to the thermal energy is more than two orders of magnitude smaller and, as a result, the H+ and OH− layers cannot mutually stabilize each other, rendering proton accumulation at the interface energetically unfavorable. We show that (i) the law of electroneutrality, (ii) Fick’s law of diffusion, and (iii) Coulomb’s law prevail. Using them does not hinder but helps to interpret previously published experimental results, and also helps us understand the high entropy release barrier enabling long-range proton diffusion along the membrane surface.
Biosorption of Cadmium from Polluted Waters Using Dead Biomass of the Fungus Alternaria tenuissima and its Toxicological Effects on Male Albino Rats

It is important to find and identify more biological adsorbents that can effectively remove metals from water instead of using the traditional approach. In the present study, a fungal strain resistant to cadmium was isolated from polluted sites. It was identified morphologically and molecularly as Alternaria tenuissima , with an accession number of OQ691600. Heat inactivated biomass of A. tenuissima was evaluated for cadmium (Cd) biosorption. The biosorption process was conducted at a temperature of 28±2°C to remove Cd from water at an initial concentration of 92 mg/ L, under different conditions, such as pH (4–6), biosorbent dose (1–3 g/L), and sorption time (15–60 min). The obtained

Effect of Different Irrigation Frequency and Amount on Nitrogen Uptake,Translocation of Winter Wheat

A field experiment involving six irrigation treatments(from none to five irrigation application),was to determine the effects of irrigation amount and frequency on the nitrate nitrogen(NO3——N)in soil layers(0-60 cm)and the translocation of accumulation nitrogen in wheat plants.The experimental results showed that the water condition had an impact on the amount and distribution of NO3——N in soil.NO3——N amount significantly decreased as irrigation frequency increased when partial NO3——N can be collected in soil depth of 20-40 cm.The irrigation none treatment had a highest nitrogen accumulation at the stage of sowing to rejuvenating,then remarkably lower than the other treatments at 0.05 probability level.Irrigation frequency from one to three had a higher nitrogen accumulation amount than four and five after anthesis.The post-anthesis nitrogen translocation rates from leaves and stems to spikes were 82% and 75% respectively.Rate of leaf nitrogen translocation rose with increasing irrigation frequency,but stem translocation rate reversely.Contribution of nitrogen from leaves,stems and post-anthesis assimilation nitrogen to spikes were 34%,32% and 34% after anthesis.The distribution rate of nitrogen accumulation in spikes had no significant difference between treatments at maturity.Irrigation two and three had a higher uptake and utilization efficiency of nitrogen from soil.From above we concluded sufficient irrigation amount led soil NO3——N to leak and low soil nitrate had no helpful for nitrogen assimilation in wheat plants.Moderate water deficit was favorable for nitrogen accumulation,nitrogen uptake efficiency and water utilization efficiency to increase.The translocation rate from leaves was larger than from stems,and 66% of spike nitrogen came from vegetative organs nitrogen mobilization,the other 34% was derived from post-anthesis assimilation nitrogen.So irrigation two or three was a reasonable irrigation method for balancing water-nitrogen utilization efficiency in north china plain.
Comparison of the Surface Roughness of CAD/CAM Metal-Free Materials Used for Complete-Arch Implant-Supported Prostheses: An In Vitro Study

The roughness of the intra-oral surfaces significantly influences the initial adhesion and the retention of microorganisms. The aim of this study was to analyze the surface texture of four different CAD-CAM materials (two high-performance polymers and two fifth-generation zirconia) used for complete-arch implant-supported prostheses (CAISPs), and to investigate the effect of artificial aging on their roughness. A total of 40 milled prostheses were divided into 4 groups (n = 10) according to their framework material, bio.HPP (B), bio.HPP Plus (BP), zirconia Luxor Z Frame (ZF), and Luxor Z True Nature (ZM). The areal surface roughness “Sa” and the maximum height “Sz” of each specimen was measured on the same site after laboratory fabrication (lab as-received specimen) and after thermocycling (5–55 °C, 10,000 cycles) by using a noncontact optical profilometer. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28.0. 1. One-way ANOVA with multiple comparison tests (p = 0.05) and repeated measures ANOVA were used. After thermocycling, all materials maintained “Sa” values at the laboratory as-received specimen level (p = 0.24). “Sz” increased only for the zirconia groups (p = 0.01). B-BP exhibited results equal/slightly better than ZM-ZF. This study provides more realistic surface texture values of new metal-free materials used in real anatomical CAISPs after the manufacturing and aging processes and establishes a detailed and reproducible measurement workflow.
Social learning as a catalyst for building resilience among smallholder farmers: Exploring its role in promoting transformations

ABSTRACT Building resilient agricultural systems in the face of the climate crisis requires transformative action, yet progress has remained slow. The current, dominant food system remains a huge contributor to the climate crisis and is itself vulnerable to its effects, making transformations towards resilience a complex and multifaceted challenge. In response, social learning is emerging as a promising mechanism for inspiring transformations by recognizing the central role of learning in building pathways towards resilience. We conducted a systematic literature review to examine this connection between social learning and transformations among smallholder farmers, addressing three research areas: (1) the factors influencing social learning processes ; (2) social learning outcomes; and (3) the extent to which social learning promote transformations . The review reveals many underlying positive assumptions about the role of social learning in transformations , but there remains little insight as to how or why learning leads to the adoption of transformative practices. We also find that while social learning has a positive impact on participants’ understanding of climate-related issues and resilient agricultural practices, sustained adoption of transformative actions remains a challenge. Participatory on-farm demonstrations and addressing perceived risks associated with making changes can increase the likelihood of adopting transformative action. Drawing on these findings, we propose a conceptual framework for promoting the adoption of transformative actions that take into account differences in socio-economic contexts. This study highlights the crucial role of social learning in building resilience and provides insights to inform future research in this field.
Characterization of Campylobacter jejuni proteome profiles in co-incubation scenarios

In dynamic microbial ecosystems, bacterial communication is a relevant mechanism for interactions between different microbial species. When C. jejuni resides in the intestine of either avian or human hosts, it is exposed to diverse bacteria from the microbiome. This study aimed to reveal the influence of co-incubation with Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, or Staphylococcus aureus on the proteome of C. jejuni 81–176 using data-independent-acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS). We compared the proteome profiles during co-incubation with the proteome profile in response to the bile acid deoxycholate (DCA) and investigated the impact of DCA on proteomic changes during co-incubation, as C. jejuni is exposed to both factors during colonization. We identified 1,375 proteins by DIA-MS, which is notably high, approaching the theoretical maximum of 1,645 proteins. S. aureus had the highest impact on the proteome of C. jejuni with 215 up-regulated and 230 down-regulated proteins. However, these numbers are still markedly lower than the 526 up-regulated and 516 down-regulated proteins during DCA exposure. We identified a subset of 54 significantly differentially expressed proteins that are shared after co-incubation with all three microbial species. These proteins were indicative of a common co-incubation response of C. jejuni. This common proteomic response partly overlapped with the DCA response; however, several proteins were specific to the co-incubation response. In the co-incubation experiment, we identified three membrane-interactive proteins among the top 20 up-regulated proteins. This finding suggests that the presence of other bacteria may contribute to increased adherence, e.g., to other bacteria but eventually also epithelial cells or abiotic surfaces. Furthermore, a conjugative transfer regulon protein was typically up-expressed during co-incubation. Exposure to both, co-incubation and DCA, demonstrated that the two stressors influenced each other, resulting in a unique synergistic proteomic response that differed from the response to each stimulus alone. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD046477.
Railway transition curves – optimization and assessment

: This article relates to optimization and assessment of railway polynomial transition curves. The search for the optimum shape meant here the evaluation of the transition curve properties based on chosen dynamical quantity and generation of such a curve shape. In the study, 2-axle rail vehicle was used. The rail model represented 2-axle freight car of the average values of parameters. Mathematically understood optimization methods were also applied. As the transition curve, the authors used polynomials of 9 th and 11 th degrees. As the criterion of the assessment, the integral of change of lateral acceleration along the route was also used. Wide range of the circular arc radii was applied by the authors. The mentioned radii were: 600 m, 900 m, 1200 m, 2000 m and 3000 m. In the work the results of the optimization – types of the curvatures of the optimum transition curves, as well as the vehicle dynamics were presented.

INTERCOMPARISON OF WAVE DATA HINDCAST IN LAKE ERIE

Wind and wave characteristics in Lake Erie, the Great Lakes are investigated based on the analysis of measurement data at 3 buoy stations over one month from October 22 to November 22, 2000. Relation between dimensionless wave height and wave period data is approximated by Toba's 3/2 power law with a slightly smaller coefficient. Wave hindcast using BRTM (Backward Ray Tracing Model) is conducted under the same bathymetry and wind input conditions as those used by Lalbeharry et al. Intercomparison among BRTM-based wave data, WAM-based wave height data and measurement wave data shows that BRTM yields as close an agreement with measurement data as does WAM and that error statistics may suggest a slightly higher estimating ability of BRTM over WAM.
Sea cucumber inventory in Mayotte, southwest Indian Ocean

Recently, the number of echinoderm inventories inthe southwest Indian Ocean has increased, andsuch inventories usually include a section on seacucumbers. We should mention, for example, thosecarried out in Kenya and in Tanzania by Samyn(2003), Rodrigues by Rowe and Richmond (2004)and Reunion Island by Conand and Mangion(2002). A major inventory of sea cucumber speciesin Madagascar was published by Cherbonnier(1988), which included references to specimens inMayotte, thus providing a rich working base. Inaddition, a new species was described inMadagascar (Massin et al
The Efficacy, Safety, and Economic Outcomes of Using Ferric Derisomaltose for the Management of Iron Deficiency in China: A Rapid Health Technology Assessment

Intravenous (IV) iron supplementation is the preferred treatment option for managing severe iron deficiency (ID) and ID anemia (IDA). Three of the available IV iron preparations are ferric derisomaltose (FDI), ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), and iron sucrose (IS). The objective of the present work was to review the published literature about the efficacy, safety, quality of life (QoL), and economic outcomes of using FDI, FCM, and IS for the treatment of ID. A systematic literature search was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligible studies were assessed for quality using appropriate tools, and data were extracted and analyzed for key outcomes. The evidence synthesis was based on published systematic literature reviews (SLRs), meta-analyses (MAs), indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs), and health technology assessments (HTAs); we also included economic evaluations performed from a Chinese perspective. Out of 337 initial hits, the review included 12 studies. The findings indicated that FDI, FCM, and IS had comparable efficacy in terms of hemoglobin (Hb) improvement. FDI showed a better safety profile with a lower risk of hypophosphatemia, hypersensitivity reactions, and cardiovascular adverse events (AEs) compared to IS and FCM. FDI also demonstrated better cost-effectiveness compared to IS, with potential cost savings attributed to fewer infusions and improved compliance. None of the included studies evaluated QoL after IV iron administration for ID. FDI offers a safe, efficacious, and cost-effective treatment option for ID. It exhibits comparable efficacy to FCM and IS but presents a better safety profile and economic advantage. FDI fulfills the criteria of efficacy, safety, economy, innovation, suitability, and accessibility, making it a promising choice for ID management in China.
INVESTIGATING DRIVERS OF DIGITAL BANKING ADOPTION OF GEN Z IN INDONESIA

Despite the fact that digital banks are the most recent financial service that provides online banking services without direct contact with customers, they have yet to transform the whole financial sector. This study was done in a quantitative manner utilizing primary data to investigate drivers of digital banking adoption by Gen Z using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) approach. There was a total of 232 respondents participating in this study. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results show that social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivations, perceived value, and habit positively influence the Gen Z’s behavioral intention to use the digital banks; while performance expectancy and effort expectancy show the opposite influence. Further, the behavioral intention also positively influences the Gen Z’s use behavior of digital banks. To promote digital bank customer commitment and satisfaction, digital banking service providers are suggested to increase the value of benefits outweighing the costs borne by users, as well as to improve service quality in terms of user friendliness.JEL: G40, O33.
Preservation, Conservation and Planning in Historic Towns

half of the twentieth century in two historic Warwickshire towns in the light of our existing understanding of the art/science of townscape management and related geographical concepts. It forms part of the introductory work to a project initiated with J. W. R. Whitehand to provide some theoretical background for townscape management. The idea of 'managing' the townscape of historic urban centres as distinct from 'preserving' particular historic buildings which happen to be in towns is a comparatively recent phenomenon in English planning. Though techniques of conserving historic areas are now better understood, and the concept of 'conservation areas' is enshrined in legislation, there are few theoretical constructs upon which basic techniques can be built. At present, consetvation areas within historic towns are still very much at the mercy of local government planning departments and the often conflicting political pressure groups of town-centre developers and conservationists. The latter remain a minority of largely well-educated, prosperous and 'middle-class' inhabitants of particular towns, often with very local interests, and historic townscapes lacking such interest groups can be damaged with little thought or concern (Hobhouse, 1971; Burke, 1974). Such a situation would apply particularly to townscapes deriving from the Industrial Revolution and few planners, for example, have given any consideration to maintaining, even under museum conditions, any of the housing stock of the early nineteenth century. In those smaller towns generally characterized as 'historic', that is to say those in which a substantial proportion of the town-centre buildings originates from the pre-industrial era, the problems of accommodating modern commercial functions, retail outlets and motor cars are well known. There is now an extensive literature, largely of particular case studies, demonstrating both the destructive effects of bad planning on individual towns and the continuing search for satisfactory methods of positive planning by which historical townscapes can be maintained as functioning entities without losing their essential historicity (Esher, 1968; Buchanan, 1968).
