Relationship between physical performance and match load and effects of two consecutive matches in cerebral palsy footballers (Relación entre el rendimiento físico y la carga de trabajo en partido y efecto de dos partidos consecutivos en futbolistas con p

The aims of the present study were to analyse the relationship between the physical performance and the match load in cerebral palsy (CP) football players, and to analyse the possible impact of the Spanish League format (playing two matches on two consecutive days) on the players’ match load. Data for a Spanish CP football team (n=10; age: 31.0 ± 8.9 years; weight: 66.1 ± 8.6 kg; height: 172.2 ± 7.8 cm; BMI: 22.5 ± 2.9 kg·m-2) included anthropometric (weight, height and BMI), physical performance (CMJ, 5, 10 y 20-m sprint y MAT) and match load variables (distance covered, accelerations and decelerations, heart rate, speed and player load) from two official matches. The players’ physical performance, but not their anthropometrical measurements, correlated to the match load variables (r = 0.76–0.95; p = 0.04–0.01), except for accelerations, decelerations and heart rate-related variables (p > .05). Players’ match load data were not statistically different between matches. The results suggest that players’ physical performance influences the match load variables, and these players’ load variables in competition do not seem to be affected by the fact of playing two matches on two consecutive days. The way in which the players’ physical performance and fatigue may affect the match load variables needs more research in CP football. Resumen. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar la relación entre el rendimiento físico y la carga de partido en jugadores de fútbol con parálisis cerebral (PC), y analizar la posible influencia del formato de la Liga Española (en la que se juegan dos partidos en días consecutivos) en la carga de partido. Los datos obtenidos de un equipo español de fútbol PC (n=10; edad: 31.0 ± 8.9 años; peso: 66.1 ± 8.6 kg; altura: 172.2 ± 7.8 cm; IMC: 22.5 ± 2.9 kg·m-2) incluyó variables antropométricas (peso, altura e IMC), de rendimiento físico (CMJ, 5, 10 y 20-m sprint y MAT) y variables de carga de partido (distancia recorrida, aceleraciones y deceleraciones, frecuencia cardiaca, velocidad y carga del jugador) en dos partidos oficiales. El rendimiento físico de los jugadores, pero no las variables antropométricas correlacionaron con la carga de partido (r = 0.76–0.95; p = 0.04–0.01), excepto para las aceleraciones, deceleraciones y variables relacionadas con la frecuencia cardiaca (p > .05). Los datos acerca de la carga de partido no fueron significativamente distintos entre partidos. Los resultados sugieren que el rendimiento físico de los jugadores de fútbol PC influyen en la carga en competición y esas variables de carga de partido no parecen estar afectadas por el hecho de jugar dos partidos en días consecutivos. La manera en la que el rendimiento físico de los jugadores y la fatiga puede afectar en la carga de partido necesita mayor investigación en fútbol PC.
Distributed Energy-Ecient and Secure O�oading in Air-to-Ground MEC Networks

This paper mainly investigates the energy-eﬃcient and secure oﬄoading problem in air-to-ground Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) networks. The proposed eﬃcient oﬄoading mechanism is as per the requirements of the heterogeneous tasks of ground users. Further, the optimizing oﬄoading rate, oﬄoading object, and channel access jointly formulate system energy consumption and eavesdropping rate minimization. A distributed two-stage oﬄoading scheme is proposed for achieving the sub-optimal solution for the Mixed-integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problem. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is superior to several benchmark schemes.
Impact of E-Learning in Learning Mandarin in Bina Kusuma Elementary School During COVID-19

In the teaching and learning process, the roles of teachers and students will be balanced if there is good communication between them. However, learning methods from face-to-face to e-learning suddenly prompt the teachers to look for various alternatives to convey the material due to COVID-19 pandemic. The research analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on the learning process, especially Mandarin, in an elementary school. The research uses a descriptive-analytical method with questionnaires. The questionnaires are filled out by 34 students from the fifth grade in Bina Kusuma Elementary School, Jakarta. The research finds the positive impacts of elearning in the school regarding Mandarin learning. First, the subject is more interesting and easier to understand. Second, students can learn the right notes and pronunciation independently. Third, using WhatsApp and Zoom can help students recall previously learned vocabulary. Fourth, students can learn new vocabulary independently. Fifth, e-learning can motivate students to learn and gain experience from new learning methods. Sixth, students can manage their time in learning, so they become more independent. Last, students can study anywhere and anytime without time and space limits. However, the weakness of e-learning is the speed of the internet. It affects the students in obtaining the provided subject by the teachers.

*These authors contributed equally to this work Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) were reported to be involved in the progression of a variety of cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the precise functions and mechanism of circRNAs in CRC have not been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism underlying circ_0006174 in CRC. Methods: The expression of circ_0006174, microRNA (miR-138-5p) and metastasis associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. Western blot was employed to measure MACC1 protein expression. The effects of circ_0006174 knockdown, MACC1 overexpression or miR-1385p inhibition on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were assessed by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay, clone formation assay, transwell assay and flow cytometry assay, respectively. The interaction between miR-138-5p and circ_0006174 or MACC1 was confirmed by RNA pull down assay or dual-luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft tumor model in nude mice was used to verify the function of circ_0006174 in vivo. Results: Circ_0006174 and MACC1 expression was highly expressed, while miR-138-5p expression was downregulated in CRC cells and tissues. Meanwhile, circ_0006174 functioned as a sponge of miR-138-5p to upregulate MACC1 expression. Furthermore, circ_0006174 knock down-mediated suppression on cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promotion on cell apoptosis could be alleviated by MACC1 overexpression or miR138-5p inhibition in CRC cells. Besides, circ_0006174 knockdown also inhibited CRC procession in vivo. Conclusion: Circ_0006174 advanced CRC progression via sponging miR-138-5p to upregulate MACC1 expression, which may provide a promising molecular target for CRC treatment.
THE AVOIDANCE OF USING ENGLISH PHRASAL VERBS BY EFL SAUDI LEARNERS

This paper reports on a study conducted to examine the avoidance of using English phrasal verbs by Saudi learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). It also examined the effect of phrasal verb types (literal vs. figurative) and years of learning English in a foreign language setting on the avoidance of phrasal verbs by Saudi EFL learners. A number of Saudi EFL learners (n = 30; two groups: 1st year and 3rd year) were recruited to take a phrasal verb multiple-choice test. 6 native English speakers were also recruited to take the same test to provide a comparison group. The results showed that both learner groups used much less figurative phrasal verbs than did the native English group. However, the learner groups were found similar to the native group in using literal phrasal verbs. There was no effect for the years of learning English on the use or avoidance of phrasal verbs, as both learner groups were found similar in their use of phrasal verbs.
A revision of Epeorus (Proepeorus) in China, with descriptions of two new species (Ephemeroptera, Heptageniidae)

ABSTRACT The genus Epeorus Eaton, 1881 is diverse in China but has never been specifically studied before. In this revision, eight species in Epeorus (Proepeorus) from China are recognised, including two new species, Epeorus (Proepeorus) gibbus sp. nov., Epeorus (Proepeorus) falcatus sp. nov. and additional five new records for this country. Both new species have unique shape of imaginal penis and tubercles on nymphal terga. The variation of Epeorus (Proepeorus) in China shows this subgenus may not be a monophyletic taxon. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:5A151309-603F-4196-8FCC-A2DA90D7F58F
RESPONSES BY SCANDINAVIAN BROWN BEARS (URSUS ARCTOS) TO HUMAN APPROACHES ON FOOT SKANDINAVISK BRUNBJØRN (URSUS ARCTOS) SINE REAKSJONAR I MØTE MED MENNESKE TIL FOTS GRO KVELPRUD MOEN

An increasing and expanding population of the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos L.) results in increasing possibilities for encounters between humans and bears. In this thesis I describe the behavior of brown bears when encountered by hikers, and determine which variables that affect this behavior. A total of 205 approaches were conducted in Dalarna and Gävleborgs counties in Sweden from 2006 to 2008, on 31 radio-collared bears; 21 females and 10 males. The observers started the approaches on average 859 ± 348 m from the bears, with the wind towards the bear when passing it at approximately 50 m distance. The bears were equipped with GPS neck collars, which were programmed to send GPS positions every minute for one hour before and two hours after the start of the approach. The movements of the observers were registered with a handheld GPS during the approaches. The bears were either in a day bed and passive (83 %) or active and moving around (17 %) when the approach started. The bears were seen and/or heard in 15% of the approaches, and the low detection rate could be due to the dense vegetation in the day beds Most bears (68 %) left the initial site before or when we passed them, some bears stayed until we had passed them before they left (8 %), whereas some stayed at the initial site (IS) during the entire approach (24 %). Bears left more often if the minimum distance between the observer and the bear was short, if there was less horizontal vegetation cover in the initial site, and during the berry season, probably due to a higher perceived threat. The average flight initiation distance (FID) was shorter for passive (87 ± 72 m, n = 82) than active bears (132 ± 92 m, n = 20). Of passive bears, younger bears had a longer FID than older bears, maybe because younger bears lack experience with humans. The distance moved (DM) to a new site after disturbance was on average 943 ± 1031 m. Bears that left, stayed active on average 22 ± 21 minutes before settling in a new site. DM and time spent active after leaving IS was longer during the berry season, and DM was shorter when the bears stayed until we passed them before they left. There was also a tendency that active bears moved further than passive bears, maybe due to difference in vigilance or inclination to leave the site. These findings shows that the bears try to avoid confrontations when approached by hikers, and supports the conclusions of earlier studies that the Scandinavian brown bear normally is not an aggressive creature.
Reproducing and Explaining Entity and Relation Embeddings for Link Prediction in Knowledge Graphs

Embedding knowledge graphs is a common method used to encode information from the graph at hand projected in a low-dimensional space. There are two shortcomings in the field of knowledge graph embeddings for link prediction. The first shortcoming is that, as far as we know, current software libraries to compute knowledge graph embeddings differ from the original papers proposing these embeddings. Certain implementations are faithful to the original papers, while others range from minute differences to significant variations. Due to these implementation variations, it is difficult to compare the same algorithm from multiple libraries and also affects our ability to reproduce results. In this report, we describe a new framework, AugmentedKGE (aKGE), to embed knowledge graphs. The library features multiple knowledge graph embedding algorithms, a rank-based evaluator, and is developed completely using Python and PyTorch. The second shortcoming is that, during the evaluation process of link prediction, the goal is to rank based on scores a positive triple over a (typically large) number of negative triples. Accuracy metrics used in the evaluation of link prediction are aggregations of the ranks of the positive triples under evaluation and do not typically provide enough details as to why a number of negative triples are ranked higher than their positive counterparts. Providing explanations to these triples aids in understanding the results of the link predictions based on knowledge graph embeddings. Current approaches mainly focus on explaining embeddings rather than predictions and single predictions rather than all the link predictions made by the embeddings of a certain knowledge graph. In this report, we present an approach to explain all these predictions by providing two metrics that serve to quantify and compare the explainability of different embeddings. From the results of evaluating aKGE, we observe that the accuracy metrics are better than the accuracy metrics obtained from the standard implementation of OpenKE. From the results of explainability, we observe that the horn rules obtained explain more than 50% of all the negative triples generated.
GWAS meta-analysis reveals dual neuronal and immunological etiology for pain susceptibility

Chronic pain is at epidemic proportions in the United States, represents a significant burden on our public health system and is coincident with a growing opioid crisis. While numerous genetic risk factors have been identified, its genetic basis remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics from seventeen pain susceptibility traits in the UK Biobank. This analysis revealed 99 genome-wide significant risk loci, of which 62 have not been previously associated with a pain-related trait. Risk loci were enriched for genes involved in neurological and inflammatory pathways. Two-sample Mendelian randomization indicated that depression, neuroticism, and immunological traits mediate many of these effects. These analyses double the number of known risk loci for pain susceptibility and support dual causation from neuronal and immunological genes, providing leads toward targets for novel pain medications.
Social contacts and other risk factors for respiratory infections among internally displaced people in Somaliland

Background Populations affected by humanitarian crises experience high burdens of acute respiratory infections (ARI), potentially driven by risk factors for severe disease such as poor nutrition and underlying conditions, and risk factors that may increase transmission such as overcrowding and the possibility of high social mixing. However, little is known about social mixing patterns in these populations. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional social contact survey among internally displaced people (IDP) living in Digaale, a permanent IDP camp in Somaliland. We included questions on household demographics, shelter quality, crowding, travel frequency, health status, and recent diagnosis of pneumonia, and assessed anthropometric status in children. We calculated age-standardised social contact matrices to assess population mixing, and conducted regression analysis on risk factors for recent self-reported pneumonia. Results We found crowded households with high proportions of recent self-reported pneumonia (46% in children). 20% of children younger than five are stunted, and crude death rates are high in all age groups. ARI risk factors are common, but we did not find any significant associations with self-reported pneumonia. Participants reported around 10 direct contacts per day. Social contact patterns are assortative by age, and physical contact rates are very high (78%). Conclusions ARI risk factors are very common in this population, while the large degree of contacts that involve physical touch could further increase transmission. Such IDP settings potentially present a perfect storm of risk factors for ARIs and their transmission, and innovative approaches to address such risks are urgently needed.
A Comparative Study of Immunochromatographic Test (ICT) and Bone Marrow Aspiration for the Diagnosis of Kala-Azar in Children

Original Research Article Introduction: Kala-azar or visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania of the L. donovani complex. The Indian term kala-azar for this disease denotes black sickness and also hyperpigmentation seen in those patients. Immunochromatographic test (rk39) for VL is a qualitative, membrane based immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to visceral leishmaniasis in human serum. Aim of the study: To evaluate the immunochromatographic test (ICT) and bone marrow aspiration test for the diagnosis of kala-azar in children. Material & Methods: This hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in all the Paediatric units of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from the period of April 2006 December 2007. A total of 70 suspected cases of kala-azar patients were included in this study. Forty six (46) patients were diagnosed as a case of kala-azar, 24 patients were other than kalaazar. All data were analyzed by using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) software package for entry, classification, analysis and interpretation of results. Results: A total of 70 suspected case of Kala-azar (Fever more than two weeks, pallor, hepatosplenomegaly) patients were enrolled in this study. Among them 46 patients (65.71%) were diagnosed as a case of Kala-azar, 24 patients (34.29%) were other than kala-azar. Among the kala-azar patients, most affected age group was 5-10 years. Male and female ratio was 1.71:1.Bone marrow study for LD body and ICT strip test performed in all 70 suspected case of Kala-azar. Among them LD bodies were found in 29 patients (41.43%) and LD body was not found in 41 patients (58.57%). Among them 24 cases were diagnosed other than Kalaazar.Among the Kala-azar cases (46 patients) LD body was not found in 17 cases (36.96%). Among the suspected Kala-azar patients 43 patients (61.43%) were ICT positive, 27 patients (38.57%) were ICT negative. No patient of ‘other than Kala-azar’gave ICT positive result. Among the Kala-azar cases, 43 patients (93.48%) were ICT positive, 3 cases (6.52%) were ICT negative. Sensitivity and specificity of bone marrow study for LD body were 63.04% and 100%. Predictive of value of positive and negative test of bone marrow study for LD body were 100% and 58.83%. Sensitivity and specificity of ICT strip test for kala-azar were 93.5% and 100%. Predictive value of positive and negative test of ICT was 100% and 88.9%. Conclusion: Immunochromatographic test (rk39 ICT) is more sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of kala-azar in children. Immunochromatographic test (rk39 ICT) is rapid, easy, noninvasive, field applicable and cost effective for the diagnosis of kala-azar.
Electronic and structural characterizations of a transparent conductive oxide/organic interface : towards applications for organic electronic devices

The energy level alignment of hole-transport organic molecular solids with indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent conducting oxide, has been characterized. The studied molecules, based on the dipyranylidene (DIP) structure, differ by the heteroatom (O, S and Se). Synchrotron photoemission electron spectroscopy has been used to determine the alignment, and we investigated the molecular orientation via X-ray absorption spectromicroscopy. By interpreting spectroscopic data in the light of DFT calculations, we found evidence of the presence of charge transfer from the molecules to the ITO, when they are in intimate contact with the substrate, at least for the O and S-DIPs. The hole injection barrier between the ITO Fermi level and the organic HOMO was obtained. Our experimental approach emphasizes the relationship between structural and electronic properties. These results were obtained during beamtimes in France (SOLEIL), Italy (ELETTRA) and Switzerland (SLS).
