THE EFFECTS OF AGE AND BODY MASS INDEX ON FLEXIBILITY AND BALANCE PERFORMANCE

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of age and Body Mass Index (BMI) on flexibility and balance in individuals aged between 18-80. Methods: Four hundred and four (n=404) individuals were included in the study. Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and Sit to Stand Test (SST) were used in order to evaluate dynamic balance; Sit and Reach Flexibility Test as well as Lateral Trunk Flexion test were used for flexibility. Results: A correlation was found between age, TUG, SST and flexibility values (p<0.05). There was a correlation in a negative direction between BMI, and right-left trunk flexibility tests. There was a correlation in a positive direction between TUG and SST. Conclusion: The increase in age and BMI causes restrictions in daily life activities of individuals by leading to decrease in important parameters that affect their physical fitness such as balance and flexibility.
I am physically and personality-wise warmer when wearing round eyeglasses: Shape priming influences personality judgments and estimated temperature

Shapes are considered to be related to different personality traits, and particularly, in terms of metaphorical associations, the round shape has been related to the warmth trait, and the square shape to the competence trait. The present study used a pre-post design to replicate these associations. Moreover, it was investigated whether round shapes enhanced the estimation of physical warmth as suggested by contemporary debates on cross-modal correspondences. The results indicated that the round shape increased the perception of warmth (p = .004) and the square shape enhanced the perception of competence (p = .025), which confirmed round-warm and square-competent associations. Furthermore, estimates of the room temperature were higher in the round condition, compared to the square condition (p = .023). The theoretical implications of these findings and directions for further research are discussed.
Eating disorders in children and adolescents

F and eating disorders are characterized by a persistent disturbance of eating or eatingrelated behaviors that result in altered consumption or absorption of food significantly impairing physical or psychosocial functioning.1 The typical eating disorders (EDs) have been anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). In the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-51) a new disorder, binge eating disorder (BED), has been included. Individuals with EDs that do not meet full criteria for AN, BN, or BED are now described in the Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder and Unspecified Feeding and Eating Disorder categories. EDs are severe psychiatric disorders with about 1.5 times the mortality rates for all causes, and between 4 and 6 times the standardized mortality rates for suicide. EDs are highly associated with anxiety and mood disorders; they often take a chronic course and cause significant negative economic impact.3-5 Our knowledge about the underlying neurobiology is limited, as are treatment options for AN, BN, and BED. Yet, specific evidencebased guidelines for assessment and treatment of EDs have been developed. The feeding and eating disorders category in DSM-5 now also includes pica, rumination, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), which were previously part of the Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence. Those disorders will not be discussed in this article.

Landslides and tunneling geological failures, during the construction of Thessaloniki – Kavala Section of Egnatia Highway in N.Greece

Abstract—The present paper refers to the major part of the Egnatia Highway, about 100km long, which connects Thessaloniki and Kavala cities, at North Greece. Actually, it is divided in three parts: i)Nymphopetra-Asprovalta, about 40km long, ii) AsprovaltaStrymonas, about 20km long and iii) Strymonas-St. Andreas, about 40km long. The highway has already been constructed. Driving from the west to the east, the highway, at the beginning of Nymphopetra-Strymonas part, passes near by Volvi Lake, at the foot of Vertiscos Mountain. Easterly, it passes through Kerdillia Mountain, Strymona’s river and it leads to Pangeo’s Mountain, ending through Symbol Mountain. The highway also passes through five tunnels; i)Vrasna tunnel, which is located at Nymphopetra – Asprovalta’s part, ii) Asprovalta’s tunnels, which are three tunnels locating at Asprovalta – Strymona’s part and iii) Symbol Tunnel, which is located at the last Strymonas – St.Andrea’s part. The paper describes the support measures against geological failures during the construction of the highway. For this purpose, the mechanisms of sliding and rock falling procedures were studied. As far as slopes concern, the orientation of the discontinuities and the poor quality of the rock mass, that creates cyclic sliding, were responsible for the instabilities. Rainfall also helps landslides to be occurred. During the tunnelling excavation, the sliding along a plane, the décollement from the roof and the fall of wedges were the common failure causes.
Strategic Change Process in Practice: Four Case Studies in Kosovo

This paper explores the process of organizational strategic change in four financial institutions in Kosovo. The study uses a ‘strategy as practice’ approach focusing on strategic change implementation processes and practices. It uses grounded theory approach (Charmaz, 2006) to examine the process of strategic change and to provide insights of change management from the practice perspective in Kosovo context. The study proposes 5 stages of change: experiencing crisis, diagnosing the organization, shaping change strategy, communicating change strategy, and implementing and stabilizing change. These phases are grounded in data and offer discussion on strategic change processes and insights on implementation process from management perspective.
BUILDING THE MODEL OF A RELATIONSHIP’S QUALITY: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

The purpose of this study is to develop a model of the quality of a relationship and investigate the links among its constructs. This empirical study aims to explore the constructs’ links between the key constituents of the model of the relationship’s quality: trust, satisfaction, and commitment. A structural equation model is employed to confirm the model and investigate the correlations and influences between the constructs. The results of the analysis confirm the direct influence of commitment towards loyalty. Satisfaction does not have a direct influence on loyalty; it does so through the mediate variable of commitment. The finding confirms the model of the relationship’s quality with strong influences among its constituents: satisfaction, trust, and commitment. Commitment is the only variable that has a direct influence on customer loyalty
Adapting the (fast-moving) world of molecular ecology to the (slow-moving) world of environmental regulation: lessons from the UK diatom metabarcoding exercise

Development of effective metabarcoding-based tools for ecological assessment requires more than just detailed knowledge of ecology and molecular genetics. There is also a need to understand the context within which they will be used, and for the organisation that uses it to understand the techniques involved and, more especially, how the data that are produced differs from that generated by traditional ecological methods. Lessons learnt during the development of a metabarcoding tool for phytobenthos in the UK are set out in this paper. This attempted to develop a molecular “mirror” of the existing light microscopy-based approach to ecological assessment. Although this conservative approach does not exploit the full potential of metabarcoding data, it does mean that benchmarks exist against which performance and data can be judged. However, the pace of developments within molecular ecology means that regulators will need to find ways of incorporating new scientific insights whilst, at the same time, ensuring a stable regulatory regime. Installation of a metabarcoding technique within a regulatory organisation, in other words, is more than a transaction in which one approach is switched for another. A deeper transformation of the organisation is required.

Linguistic Structure

This paper is concerned with discovering the system that lies behind linguistic productions and is responsible for them. To be considered realistic, a theory of this system has to meet certain requirements of plausibility: (1) It must be able to be put into operation, for (i) speaking and otherwise producing linguistic texts and (ii) comprehending (to a greater or lesser extent) the linguistic productions of others; (2) it must be able to develop during childhood and to continue changing in later years; (3) it has to be compatible with what is known about brain structure, since that system resides in the brains of humans. Such a theory, while based on linguistic evidence, turns out to be not only compatible with what is known from neuroscience about the brain, it also contributes new understanding about how the brain operates in processing information.
The relationship between handedness and academic achievement in high school students of Sanandaj City, Iran

BACKGROUND: Academic achievement is considered as one of the main results of the educational system and focusing on factors affecting it is of great importance. The present study was performed with the aim to determine the relationship between handedness and academic achievement in high school students in Sanandaj City, Iran, in 2016. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study the population of which included the high school students of Sanandaj and 2630 pupils were selected from among them. The study tool was the Annette's questionnaire. To measure the academic achievement, the average score of the first semester of the 2016-2017 school year of the students was used. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS software and descriptive and statistical tests such as the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. RESULTS: Among the samples, 7.7%, 87.4%, 4.9% were left handed, right handed, and of no handedness, respectively. The average score of handedness in the school children was 16.75 ± 11.99 out of 24. There was no relationship between academic achievement and handedness (P = 0.105). CONCLUSION: The results suggested that other factors than handedness affect the success and academic achievement of the students.

Ngempon: The Role-Sharing Strategy of Hindus and Muslims in Bhur Bwah Swah Temple, Karangasem, Bali

This article is the result of research on how Hindus and Muslims in Tabuan hill, Karangasem could live side by side in harmony. They showed it by becoming pengempon at Bhur Bwah Swah temple. Unlike in general, Muslims also take part in concurrently as pengempon. They actively maintain and carry out the ceremony every six months. The strong will of Muslims to be involved cannot be separated from their historical awareness of the past when they were welcomed and placed in Islamic villages by the king of Karangasem Kingdom. Furthermore, rites are a tool for them to re-dialogue past history to fulfill their needs. It is further used as guides of both religious people to maintain social solidarity. Symbolically, Muslims feel to be an inseparable part of the lives of Hindus since there is a santren in Bhur Bwah Swah temple. It is a sort of place where they perform prayers and celebrate saparan day every year. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach through an interview, observation, and document study techniques and utilize practice theory, precisely concerning the habitus developed by Pierre Bourdieu.
LINEAR DYNAMIC MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND IDENTIFICATION OF MICRO TURBOJET ENGINE FOR TURBOFAN POWER RATIO CONTROL

Micro turbojets can be used for propulsion of civilian and military aircraft, consequently their investigation and control is essential. Although these power plants exhibit nonlinear behaviour, their control can be based on linearized mathematical models in a narrow neighbourhood of a selected operating point and can be extended by using robust control laws like H∞ or Linear Quadratic Integrating (LQI). The primary aim of the present paper is to develop a novel parametric linear mathematical model based on state space representation for micro turbojet engines and the thrust parameter being Turbofan Power Ratio (TPR). This parameter is used by recent Rolls-Royce commercial turbofan engines but can be applied for single stream turbojet power plants as well, as it has been proven by the authors previously. An additional goal is to perform the identification for a particular type based on measurements of a real engine. This model has been found suitable for automatic control of the selected engine with respect of TPR, this has been validated by simulations conducted in MATLAB® Simulink® environment using acquired data from transient operational modes.
Social representations of teachership based on cover images of Finnish teacher magazine: A visual rhetoric approach

Media plays an important role in the formation of social representations. This study examines the cover images of Finnish Teacher Magazine published by the Trade Union of Education as means of communicating social representations of teachership among its readership consisting of teachers and student teachers. In order to critically discuss the structure of the cover images and their implications in terms of teachers’ professional identity, the study applies a visual rhetoric approach to the study of visually mediated social representations. The data consist of 138 cover images of Teacher Magazine between the years 2013 and 2017. The analysis of visual rhetoric was conducted using content analysis and semiotic analysis that provided means of examining both the visual form of the cover images and meanings communicated through them. Even though this study detects a variety of social representations of teachership, it also identifies a highly homogeneous type of teacher throughout the imagery, which is understood to present the members of the Trade Union with an ideal type of their profession. Consequently, cover images of Teacher Magazine appear to be vehicles of inclusion and exclusion, strengthening certain social representations of teachership and marginalizing others.
THE EFFECT OF MINERAL TRIOXIDE AGGREGATE ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH BIPHASIC CALCIUM PHOSPHATE ON HEALING OF MANDIBULAR DEFECTS IN RABBIT

INTRODUCTION: Critical sized bone defects above critical size do not heal completely by themselves and thus represent major clinical challenge to reconstructive surgery. Numerous bone substitutes have already been used to promote bone regeneration. Incorporation of bone grafts such as biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) as osteoconductive materials has been proven to be effective in promoting bone healing in oral surgery. As it is considered a potential candidate for bone regenerating biomolecules which can help in rapid bone repair because of its composition, the biocompatible material "mineral trioxide aggregate"(MTA) is suggested to be promising. OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of MTA on the process of bone healing alone and the combination of MTA with biphasic calcium phosphate MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen rabbits will be divided into two experimental groups: (1) MTA, (2) MTA+BCP. Right and left critical size bone defects will be performed in the edentulous area of rabbit mandibles (diastema). Right side bone defects will be filled with MTA, while the left side bone defects will be filled with MTA in combination with BCP. The effect of both MTA and BCP on defect healing will be assessed histologically, histomorphometrically and immunohistochemically after 6 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: Greater amount of new bone formation was noticed in the CSDs loaded with MTA and BCP. The amount of new bone formed was significantly higher in the MTA+BCP group when compared with the MTA group. Also bone cells activities appeared greater in the former group. CONCLUSIONS: MTA induces new bone formation via an osteoinductive action and can be added to bone grafts to enhance bone regenerative capacity
USING SINGLE-CELL RNA SEQUENCING TO STUDY HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTIONS

Populations of cells are heterogeneous. Despite single cells of a population present common gene expression regulation they also present small differences in the expression. Single cell methodologies are needed to study the impact of this heterogeneity in cellular processes. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) has already been used to study heterogeneity of eukaryotic cell populations at transcriptional level. The aim of this report is to review the current state of scRNAseq technology to apply it for the study of host-pathogen interactions. Studies that already used this technique to study immune cells response to lipopolysaccharides showed different activation thresholds between host cells under same stimuli and that heterogeneity in pathogenic cells influences heterogeneity in host cells response. Therefore, scRNAseq is a powerful tool to characterize expression heterogeneity during host-pathogen interactions.
Towards Optimizing Co-Insurance Levels for Statin Treatment of Heart Disease

Objectives. To investigate a Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) approach for heart disease treatment where low-risk and high-risk health insurance enrollees have different cost-sharing parameters, to provide incentives to increase medication adherence and health outcome. Study Design. We propose a methodology based on a Markov Chain to model transitions between health states, which has not been used in the context of health insurance design. We also conduct sensitivity analysis to analyze how key parameters influence the optimal coinsurance levels. Data Sources. We use data published in the literature. Principal Findings. (i) Preventing low-risk patients from turning into high-risk patients is more important in keeping total cost down than preventing high-risk patients from having a heart attack. (ii) The VBID approach yields the greatest cost benefits when the heart attack cost is about 175 times the cost of medicine. (iii) VBID cost savings and optimal cost-sharing levels are very sensitive to medicine effectiveness when the rate of reduction in heart attack is less than 14%. Conclusions. While VBID is appealing in theory, its practical usefulness is highly uncertain due to the sensitivity to model parameters, which are difficult to estimate accurately.
Types of New Zealand Drinkers and Their Associated Alcohol-Related Problems

Alcohol consumption and contextual data collected from a sample of 983 men and 894 women were analysed using multivariate statistical methods in an attempt to identify different types of drinkers. The sample was derived from three thousand face-to-face interviews randomly conducted in Auckland, the major metropolitan centre of New Zealand. The multivariate analysis was based on those who had consumed alcohol in the week preceding their interview. Factor analysis was used as a form of data reduction, while cluster analysis was used to assign individuals into groups characterised by particular aspects of their drinking practices that were different from average. The clusters were cross-tabulated by demographic and alcohol-related problem variables. Twelve male and ten female clusters were identified. The choice of target clusters for health promotion activities is discussed.
Measurement of prompt D 0 , D + , D ∗ + , and D + s production in p – Pb collisions at √ s NN = 5 . 02 TeV

The measurement of the production of prompt D0, D+, D∗+, and Ds mesons in proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of √ sNN = 5.02 TeV, with an integrated luminosity of 292 ± 11μb−1, are reported. Differential production cross sections are measured at mid-rapidity (−0.96 < ycms < 0.04) as a function of transverse momentum (pT) in the intervals 0 < pT < 36 GeV/c for D 0, 1 < pT < 36 GeV/c for D+ and D∗+, and 2 < pT < 24 GeV/c for D + s mesons. For each species, the nuclear modification factor RpPb is calculated as a function of pT using a proton-proton (pp) reference measured at the same collision energy. The results are compatible with unity in the whole pT range. The average of the non-strange D mesons RpPb is compared with theoretical model predictions that include initial-state effects and parton transport model predictions. The pT dependence of the D 0, D+, and D∗+ nuclear modification factors is also reported in the interval 1 < pT < 36 GeV/c as a function of the collision centrality, and the central-to-peripheral ratios are computed from the D-meson yields measured in different centrality classes. The results are further compared with charged-particle measurements and a similar trend is observed in all the centrality classes. The ratios of the pT-differential cross sections of D0, D+, D∗+, and Ds mesons are also reported. The D + s and D + yields are compared as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity for several pT intervals. No modification in the relative abundances of the four species is observed with respect to pp collisions within the statistical and systematic uncertainties.
