Musculoskeletal Injury Patterns among Korean Professional Women Soccer Players: A Retrospective Descriptive Study

Female Korean professional soccer players endure a high burden of injuries throughout their careers. This retrospective study investigated their injury history characteristics by surveying 181 players across eight Korea Women’s Football Federation teams. The survey covered demographics, playing positions, career spans, dominant legs, national team memberships, and detailed information on previous injuries, including location, type, mechanism, and severity. Analysis revealed lower extremities as the most vulnerable region, injured in 44.7% of competitions, and 46.6% of practice sessions, followed by foot and ankle injuries. Joint and ligament injuries dominated, comprising 45.0% of competition-related incidents, and 55.2% of those sustained during practice. Notably, contact was the primary mechanism for practice injuries (49.8%), while overuse (33.4%) and contact (33.2%) shared the blame in competitions. Interestingly, severe injuries were significantly more prevalent in practice (65.2%) compared to competitions (48.2%). Almost all players had at least one previous injury, often affecting the lower extremities. This highlights the need for targeted preventive measures addressing the high prevalence of severe joint and ligament injuries, often exacerbated by aggressive situations. These findings emphasize the crucial need for tailored injury prevention strategies specifically designed for the unique demands and challenges faced by women’s soccer players.
The Impact of Globalization on Economic Growth in Transition Countries

The paper analyzes the impact of economic, social, and political components of globalization on the gross domestic product of transition countries. Available data from 1995 to 2018 were analyzed for two groups of European transition countries, divided according to geographical criteria into Western Transition (WT) countries and Eastern Transition (ET) countries. Based on the results of the panel ARDL approach, it was shown that economic and social globalization positively impact gross domestic product in both groups of countries in the long-run. In contrast, political globalization hurts the gross domestic product. Dumitrescu and Hurlin’s causality test showed that in WT countries, there is a significant causality from social globalization to gross domestic product and from social globalization to political globalization. In ET countries, there is significant causality from political globalization to economic and social globalization, while economic globalization causes gross domestic product.
Exploring the journey towards successful ageing in the Philippines: A mixed method study

Currently, there are no universally accepted definitions, dimensions or scales for measuring successful ageing. Rowe and Kahn’s (1977) three dimensions of successful ageing, namely, wellbeing, physical functioning, and social engagement, have been adopted by most studies in the literature to measure successful ageing. A review of the extant literature on successful ageing revealed that the majority of the studies on successful ageing have been conducted in developed western countries, despite the fact that the majority of older persons live in developing countries like the Philippines. Additionally, studies on successful ageing have been limited in their consideration of the sociocultural context in the experiences of successful ageing and the factors that may facilitate or hinder the process. The purpose of this study was to explore the personal experiences of older Filipinos with successful ageing and the association between sociodemographic variables and successful ageing, using a mixed methods approach. To achieve this purpose, the study was divided into two parts: Study 1 explored the association between sociodemographic variables of age, gender, marital status, educational attainment, place of residence, living arrangement, household head and classification, home ownership, group membership, social pensions, level of participation in older person’s organisations, income and successful ageing. Successful ageing was measured using Rowe and Kahn’s three dimensions of successful ageing: wellbeing, physical functioning and social engagement. Data for Study 1 were collected from 200 respondents between the ages of 65 and 93 living in poor rural and urban communities in the Philippines, using a structured questionnaire. Study 2 explored older persons’ personal experiences of successful ageing and the factors that either hindered or facilitated the process of successful ageing. Data for Study 2 were collected through in-depth interviews with 75 participants who were selected from Study 1. Data in Study 1 were analysed using Chi square, t-test analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for exploring the association between sociodemographic variables and successful ageing. The findings of Study 1 revealed that 102 respondents (51%) did not attain successful ageing, while 98 respondents (49%) attained the three dimensions of successful ageing that were measured. The study also found that educational level, mode of income, living arrangement, perspectives on health, social participation, living above US$1.25, and marital status were significantly associated with successful ageing. When the sociodemographic

School principal’s training programs, challenges, and improvement opportunities: rapid review

Effective school leaders, with relevant training programs, high-quality management, and in-service pedagogical training, are recognized for their ability to positively influence student performance (Sanfo, 2020). In this study, we focus on analyzing training programs for school principals, assessing aspects such as their strengths, shortcomings, opportunities, as well as potential challenges. The aim was to identify the most effective models for training and preparing school principals in order to optimize their impact on educational success. To this end, we conducted a rapid review of 27 articles from scientific and gray literature. The results of this rapid review will be discussed with a view to an in-depth reflection on the strengths, challenges and opportunities inherent in the various training methods. The analysis shows that school principals’ training is vital in the sense that it prepares trainees for their demanding and increasingly complex future roles. However, these programs sometimes suffer from shortcomings related to the selection process, the consistency between what is taught and what is experienced in the field, and the incoherence of the content of the training curriculum. The analysis also highlighted some opportunities that could improve these programs if integrated, as well as factors that could be barriers to the correct implementation of these valuable training programs.
Object Detection, Tracking, and Prediction Analysis System for Sports Performance and Coaching

Object detection and tracking systems have diverse real-world applications, including surveillance and security, autonomous vehicles, robotics, sports analysis, and medical imaging. These systems can detect and track objects of interest, providing valuable insights into various domains and enabling autonomous operation. Current object analysis systems often have limitations in accuracy and, efficiency, and realtime processing capabilities. These limitations include occlusion, motion blur, lighting conditions, scale and orientation, computational complexity, false positives and false negatives, and limited object types. These limitations can affect the applicability of object analysis systems in various domains and limit their ability to detect and track objects accurately. The proposed system aims to overcome these limitations by leveraging the powerful processing capabilities of Jetson Xavier and combining the Kalman filter and polynomial regression techniques for more accurate and efficient object analysis. The proposed system uses state-of-the-art computer vision techniques for object tracking and trajectory prediction. The proposed approach can be valuable in sports analysis, providing accurate and efficient object detection, tracking, and prediction analysis.
Platforms Enhancing Proximity in the Digital Era

Platforms have the ability to create connected digital spaces where different actors co-exist and work together. The paper explores the power of platforms as enablers of a new channel of proximity, called digital proximity. It argues that platforms enable interactions, information flows, and network formation through digital proximity, which can effectively reinforce externalities complementing existing proximity forms or bypassing physical space barriers. Firms and industries adopting platform-based tools can create meaningful channels for increasing their proximity at an intra- and inter-firm level. The study uses data from the Digital Economy and Society database covering 25 EU countries for the years 2019 and 2021. It calculates the degree of adoption by EU firms at the national level for a set of selected platform-based technologies closely related to different proximity forms. It investigates the relationship between digital proximity, firm size, and industry, also introducing a geographical dimension. The evidence suggests that large firms have managed to integrate platform-based technologies to a greater extent, whereas small and medium firms still lack leveraging the full power of platforms. Increased adoption at the country level is also related to increased productivity, indicating the geographical dimension of platforms. The paper argues that platforms can be seen as a new means for balancing uneven spatial capabilities for producing proximity, indicating a high potential for fostering territorial cohesion. It concludes by suggesting that future research should measure the effects of digital proximity on development and their causal relationship to better elaborate on the implications of platforms on development.
CPU vs RAM in the Issue of ab initio Simulations of Doped Hafnium Oxide for RRAM and FRAM

c (cid:13) The Authors 2023. This paper is published with open access at SuperFri.org Atomic and electronic structure of dopped HfO 2 is studied using ﬁrst principle simulations. The 96-and 324-atom supercell are used to simulate impurity density in the range of 2–6 . 3 mol. % that is used in real electronic memory devices. The optimal spatial conﬁgurations of impurity atoms with an oxygen vacancy are found. It is shown that there are no defect levels in the band gap dopped HfO 2 with the optimal structures. The electronic structure of additional neutral oxygen vacancy in HfO 2 is equivalent to that of neutral oxygen vacancy in pure HfO 2 . An increase in the size of a supercell predictably leads to an increase in the need for computing resources. At the same time, the need for RAM is growing faster than for CPU power. Doping HfO 2 with Al/La/Y with concentration of up to 6 . 2 mol. % has negligible eﬀect on the electronic structure of neutral oxygen vacancies.
Transient suppression of Wnt signaling in poor-quality buffalo oocytes improves their developmental competence

Introduction One of the most evolutionary conserved communication systems, the Wnt signaling pathway is a major gene regulatory pathway that affects the developmental competence of oocytes and regulates most embryonic developmental processes. The present study was undertaken to modulate the canonical Wnt (Wingless/integration) signaling pathway in the poor-quality (colorless cytoplasm after Brilliant Cresyl Blue staining, BCB-) buffalo cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) to improve their in vitro maturation (IVM) and embryo production (IVEP) rates. Methods The expression of key Wnt pathway genes was initially assessed in the good (blue cytoplasm after Brilliant Cresyl Blue staining, BCB+) and poor quality (BCB-) buffalo COCs to establish a differential activity of the Wnt pathway. The BCB- COCs were supplemented with the Wnt pathway inhibitor, Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) and later subjected to IVM and IVEP along with the BCB+ and BCB- controls. The cumulus expansion index (CEI), rate of nuclear maturation (mean percentage of oocytes in the MII stage) and embryo production, and the expression of developmentally important genes were evaluated to assess the effect of Wnt pathway inhibition on the development competence of these poor-quality oocytes. Results The Wnt pathway genes exhibited a significantly higher expression (p < 0.05) in the poor-quality BCB- oocytes compared to the good-quality BCB+ oocytes during the early maturation stages. The supplementation of BCB- COCs with 100 ng/mL DKK1 effectively inhibited the expression of the key mediators of the Wnt pathway (β-catenin and dishevelled homolog 1, DVL1). DKK1 supplemented BCB- COCs exhibited significantly improved cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation indices, development rates and significantly elevated expression (p < 0.05) of genes implicated in germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and embryonic genome activation (EGA) vis-à-vis BCB- control COCs. Conclusion These data indicate that inhibition of the Wnt pathway during the initial course of oocyte maturation can improve the development competence of poor-quality buffalo oocytes.
Did subduction in the western Mediterranean drive Neogene alpine dynamics? Insights from analogue modeling

We present analogue models simulating the Neogene subduction that occurred in the Western Mediterranean region, in order to understand how it impacted the regional tectonics. Although models do not include the lithospheric plate overriding the subduction zone, their surface deformations share many similarities with the Neogene tectonics of Western Europe and Iberia. We observe that the tectonic evolution is largely controlled by the roll-back of the slab, that occurred much faster than the Africa-Eurasia convergence. Models reproduce the opening of the Western Mediterranean Basins and the dispersion of the AlKaPeCa continental fragments. They also show that oceanic subduction favors the counterclockwise rotation of Adria. In more elaborated models, we introduced a pre-existing weakness along the Africa and Adria margins, to reproduce the break-off of the oceanic slab that followed the beginning of continental subduction both in Northern Africa and Italia. Slab break-off is followed by the exhumation of the subducted continent. We observe that the influence of subduction on the kinematics of Adria largely decreases following slab break-off. In models, the total counterclockwise rotation of Adria varies between 7° and more than 30°, depending on the timing of slab break-off. Since the process of subduction modifies the displacement of Adria, it also impacts the tectonic evolution of the regions that bound this plate, especially in the Alpine belt: in the Western Alps, an older Late Cretaceous to Eocene “Pyrenean-Provençal” tectonic phase accommodating N-S shortening is classically described resulting from the convergence between Africa and Eurasia. It is followed by the Neogene “Alpine phase” accommodating E-W shortening. Since this major tectonic change is not explained by a modification of the global Africa-Eurasia convergence, it should be explained instead by more local causes. Our models show that during slab-roll back and before slab break-off, the azimuth of convergence between Adria and Europe shifts from ~N-S to ~ENE-WSW. Hence, they suggest that the oceanic subduction in the Western Mediterranean may explain the “Oligocene revolution” described by Dumont et al. (2011), leading to E-W shortening in the Western Alps and to the activation of the Periadriatic right-lateral shear zones in the Central Alps. We conclude that the western Mediterranean region is a spectacular example showing how the tectonics of mountain ranges and plate boundaries may be controlled by distant subduction processes.
Comparing the Biofilm Removal Capacity of NaOCl, Povidone-Iodine, Chlorhexidine, Curcumin, and Triphala as Endodontic Irrigants

Background and aim: A sessile multicellular organism that is immersed in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances and has its cells firmly attached to a surface is referred to as a microbial biofilm. When it comes to pulp and periradicular pathosis, biofilms are crucial. To reduce the number of microorganisms in the root canal and assist in treating periapical pathosis, endodontic therapy must include decontamination of the system of tooth root canals through biomechanical preparation and irrigation of the root canal. This study compares sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, curcumin, and triphala as endodontic irrigating solutions regarding their capacity to eliminate biofilm from root canals. Materials and methods: A total of 60 patients were included if they had pulpitis. Two specific samples (samples A and B) were chosen for analysis from a collection of samples so that their bacterial composition is most similar to that of acute pulpitis. The suspensions of bacterial cells from this polymicrobial culture have been collected from frozen stock and then regrown by inoculation on Columbia agar base (Basingstoke, UK) with the addition of vitamin K1, hemin, and 5% (v/v) calf blood. The pureness of the suspensions was assessed using colony morphology and Gram staining. Analytical profile index (API) 20A tests or automated test for bacteria (ATB) ID 32A tests were initially used to identify the isolates. These polymicrobial cultures' in vitro biofilms were developed using membrane filters made of cellulose nitrate. The tested irrigating solutions were as follows: 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 10% triphala, 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate, 10% povidone-iodine, and 5% curcumin (CUR). On the other hand, phosphate-buffered saline was taken as a control agent. Results: As the standard of excellence in endodontic irrigation, NaOCl has eliminated all germs in sample A following 15 minutes of culture and in both of the specimens after 40 minutes. Iodine also eliminated all germs after 40 minutes of administration, indicating that it would be worth exploring using iodine as a potential endodontic irrigant. Iodine achieved total bacterial elimination after 40 minutes in both samples; however, it was less effective after 15 minutes. Our findings indicate that iodine solution is the most suitable alternative after the supremely effective NaOCl, although it requires longer contact times to generate the necessary and recognized broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, including in the case of biofilms. Furthermore, curcumin also showed significant results after NaOCl and iodine. Conclusion: The antibacterial potency of each studied irrigant was significant, supporting their usage in endodontics. It was observed that NaOCl has the maximum antibacterial activity.
Customers’ perception on service performance: A comparative analysis between foreign and local banks in Tanzania

This study was a comparative study of the level of service performance between foreign and local banks. It focused on customers’ perception of service performance. This comparison was purposely done due to the fact that different international banks have opened their branches in Tanzania, and this has in one way or another forced to change the competitive landscape of the country’s banking industry. The study had a sample size of 380 respondents who were the customers of these banks. Confirmatory Factor Analysis at the second-order level was analyzed by looking at the Chi-square statistical values, Incremental Fit Index, the Tucker-Lewis Fit Index, the Comparative Fit Index, the Parsimony Normed Fit Index, and the Root Mean Square Error Approximation as the indicators of the model fit. Mean values were compared between foreign and local banks. The main findings from the study indicate that the fit indices indicated measurement invariance of service performance. quality of service, service innovativeness, and cash distribution facilities were perceived better by foreign banks’ customers than local banks’ customers.
Perceived Fairness of Teacher Selection Process in Turkey

This paper uniquely applies organisational justice theory to the teacher selection process and analyses the interview method in a centralised, heavily competitive context, with a non-autonomous selection process. Regression analysis indicated that the variables procedural justice, interactional justice, public personnel selection examination score, interview score, being hired, gender, and branch have a significant relationship with distributive justice perceptions. Furthermore, the teacher selection interview method was perceived as unjust and unfair; it is subjective to influential contacts and favouritism, ignores candidates’ labour and efforts by simply disqualifying most, and has poor reliability and validity structure.
Role of line managers in human resource activities: evidence from a case study

Purpose: This study aims to explain the role of line managers in human resource activities. It is a case study in West Midlands.Design/methodology/approach: The trend of line managers (LMs) involvement in human resource (HR) activities has been on-going for a while. There has been a lot of intellectual debate and controversy on the issue. Also, organisations have faced lots of challenges due to this same issue. This study aims to discover how to cope with this problem by utilizing human resources activities. This research adopted a qualitative single case study approach on a University in West Midlands, UK. In the first instance, 35 respondents consisting of line managers and HR practitioners across the Business School were invited to participate in this research. Within the context of LMs, purposive sampling was used.Findings: The findings show that Line Managers that enhances abilities are significantly associated to HR activities. Line Managers that enhance motivation and involvement are significantly assocaited to HR activities. And the results showed that HR respondent 1 to 5 said LMs play an important role and are needed to carry out HR activities.Originality/value: The analysis of the case, highlights the benefits of the novel idea of line managers and human resource practitioners and contributes to the need for greater clarity and knowledge of the barriers in the involvement of LMs in HR activities. Social implications: This study has shown LMs and HR practitioners have their different reserves about working together but the issue presently is, none of them is dispensable so they have to work together. It is necessary for HR practitioners to consult LMs when formulating policies and procedures to ensure balance between business needs and standard policies, and procedures.
