The aim of the study is to identify the effects of lower and upper extremity plyometric training on maximal strength and body fat ratio of young basketball players, in a 9 week period. 30 male basketball players voluntarily participated in the study. The sample group was distinguished into the control group (n = 15; age = 14.7 ± 0.97) and the test group (n = 15; age = 14.8 ± 0.54) by randomization. Body height, body weight and body fat ratio of each participant was measured. Maximal strength levels were determined by testing 1 repeat maximum (1 TM) leg press, 1 TM leg curl, 1 TM bench press, 1 TM overhead press and 1 TM high pulley. In addition, the jump strength of the participants was determined by the counter movement jump (CMJ) test. Core strength was determined by the Sport-Specific Core Muscle Strength and Stability Plank Test. Two way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to test the combined effect of group (intervention and control) and measure (pretest and post-test). There was a significant difference between groups according to the body height variable. (F(1-28) = 5.27, p<. 05). There was no significant difference between groups according to body weight and body fat percentage variables (F (1-28) = 1.86; 5.22, p>. 05; respectively). Significant differences were found in favor of the test group according to 1 RM leg curl, CMJ, 1 RM bench press, 1 RM overhead press, 1 RM high pulley variables. (F(1-28) = 16.13; 5.20; 4.65; 4.59; 14.7, p<. 05; respectively). Additionaly, There was no significant difference between groups according to leg press and plank variables. (F(1-28) = 0.77; 0.02, p>. 05; respectively). Consequently, the lower and upper extremity plyometric training program contributed to the improvement of the strength level of young basketball players.
The Influences of Live Streaming Affordance in Cross-Border E-Commerce Platforms: An Information Transparency Perspective

Despite the promise of cross-border e-commerce, attracting consumers is still a worldwide challenge. Many cross-border e-commerce platforms have responded to the challenges by embracing innovative tools like live streaming. However, there has been limited understanding of the unique nature of live streaming and its empirical influence. Taking an affordance view of live streaming, this study defines affordance of live streaming as the capacities provided by live streaming and examines how affordance of live streaming affect consumers’ purchase intention in the cross-border e-commerce context based on the information transparency perspective. Results show that although live streaming does not directly affect consumers’ cross-border purchase intention, it can increase consumers’ purchase intention through increasing perceived information transparency. In addition, affordance of live streaming can further moderate the relationship between different types of information transparency and consumers’ cross-border purchase intention. The findings provide a much-needed contribution to academia and business.
An Alumni Portal and Tracking System

Alumni tracking is a difficult task for any institution that has been running for a long time. The Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering (DOECE), Pulchowk Campus, IOE, has been offering undergraduate programs since 1994 A.D. and masters programs since 2001 A.D. The existing information about the alumni of the department is unmanaged and out of date. This paper presents a web-based system to integrate data of alumni into a well-managed database, and to act as a portal where alumni can update their current status and view online alumni yearbooks. This work aims to make the task of alumni tracking easier and simpler for the department. The web-based portal has been accessed by many alumni of the department starting from the earliest batches to update their information and see the whereabouts of others. From the collected alumni responses, some preliminary insights observed were: (a) it was seen that alumni seem to be heterogeneous both in their job positions and employers, however, a large portion are employed in the software sector, (b) most alumni (60%) are currently residing in Nepal, and (c) for further education, the USA (39%) seems to be the favored choice, followed closely by Nepal (32.5%).
Physical, Bioactive and Textural Properties of Oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) Fruit from Different Locations in Turkey

Received : 25/10/2020 Accepted : 12/11/2020 The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical, bioactive and textural properties of oleaster fruits grown in different locations of Turkey. The oleaster fruits were obtained from Aksaray, Niğde and İzmir cities and their crumb and crust parts were analyzed individually and freshly. In terms of color, the crust and crumb of oleaster fruits from İzmir had the darkest color with L* values of 46.81±4.06 and 78.91 ± 4.97 among all tested fruits from different locations, respectively. Total of phenolic (TP), flavonoid (TF) and tannin (TT) content (C) and as well antioxidant activities (AA) of oleaster fruits were determined for the crust and crumb of oleaster fruits. The highest TPC (22.30±1.75 mg gallic acid equivalent/g DM), TFC (16.24±1.49 mg catechin equivalent/g DM) and AA (14.05±0.55 μmol trolox equivalent/g DM) by DPPH were found in the crust of Aksaray oleaster fruits. In addition, the crumb of Aksaray oleaster fruit had the highest TPC (16.44±1.67 mg gallic acid equivalent/g DM) among the crumbs of oleaster fruits from different locations. Furthermore, there was no significant difference among the texture of crust and crumb of oleaster fruits obtained from different locations. Results showed the growing location of oleaster fruits had a significant influence on the physical and bioactive properties of fruits. Also, this study indicated that oleaster fruits were rich in bioactive compounds; therefore, they could be incorporated into foods to design functional foods.
An adaptive and strategic human-centred design approach to shaping pandemic design education that promotes wellbeing

Positive student wellbeing is intrinsically connected to positive learning outcomes. Students learn more when they feel well, and the way we shape education influences the way students feel. The COVID-19 crisis has forced us to radically change our design education and is having a large impact on student wellbeing and learning. While some students manage well to adapt to the new circumstances, others struggle and face challenges such as risk of burnout, lack of motivation, and social isolation. In this paper we describe how we approached this challenge by applying methods and principles from strategic human-centred design and systems thinking. The strategic design approach included researching values and patterns in student and staff experiences. The systems approach meant that we saw the university as a complex adaptive system, which focused our activities on connecting staff and students who were and are running multiple creative experiments to promote student wellbeing. This approach is strategic because it supports continuous design and implementation of initiatives to promote wellbeing. While this is work in progress, we here present a number of design principles that we developed through this work that enable future designs that promote student wellbeing in (pandemic) higher education. © 2021 Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos.

Geology of the south Manzano Mountains, New Mexico

The South Manzano Mountains in central New Mexico form a unit of the easternmost of the Basin Ranges and are structurally continuous with the Los Pinos to the south and the North Manzano and Manzanita Mountains to the north. Precambrian metaclastics of the area consist of the basal Sais quartzite overlain by the Blue Springs schist and White Ridge quartzite in conformable sequence, followed by 5,000 ft of rhyolite flows and intercalated basic sills. A small outcrop of granite in the northwest part of the area is similar to and correlated with the Ojito stock of the North Manzano Mountains, which intruded metaclastics older than the Sais quartzite. In the south, the Priest granite and associated pegmatite and aplite dikes intrude all older formations. Vein quartz ranging from thin stringers to massive quartz reefs over 1,000 ft thick are prominent throughout the range and represent several periods of intrusion.Three periods of Precambrian orogeny are recognized: (1) Early folding of the metaclastics and metarhyolite into an asymmetric syncline, its axis striking northeast across the north trending range and the steeper eastern limb overturned, with the axial plane dipping steeply to the southeast. At this time, regional cleavage was developed paralleling the axial plane, with small drag folds on the flanks of the syncline. (2) Later, cross-folding, faulting, and small crenulations were developed on the older schistosity. (3) Finally, granites were intruded, with associated dikes and quartz veins, across preexisting structure.A later disturbance, probably Laramide, formed three major thrust-fault zones, the easternmost bringing Precambrian formations against Paleozoic sediments. A normal fault in Tertiary time is responsible for the block tilting of the range with respect to the Rio Grande Valley on the downthrown side. Small scarps in Quaternary gravels of the Tio Bartola pediment indicate recent normal faulting.
Requirements Engineering of Village Innovation Application Using Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE)

The delay in the absorption of village funds from the central government to the village government is due to the village government's difficulty preparing village development innovation programs. The innovation tradition will grow if the cycle of transformation of knowledge and acceptable practices from one village to another, especially villages with similar conditions and problems, can run smoothly. For the process of exchanging knowledge and experiences between villages to run smoothly, it is necessary to codify best practices in a structured, documented, and disseminated manner. This research aims to design an application that functions as a medium for sharing knowledge about the use of village funds through government innovation narratives. The application is expected to become a reference for villages to carry out innovative practices by conducting replication studies and replicating acceptable practices that other villages have done. Therefore, it is necessary to have a system requirements elicitation method that can explore the village's requirements in sharing knowledge so that the resulting system is of high quality and by the objectives of being developed. There are several GoalOriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) methods used, such as Knowledge Acquisition in Automated Specification (KAOS) and requirements engineering based on business processes. In this research, the KAOS method was demonstrated as the elicitation activity of a village innovation system. Then the results were stated in the Goal Tree Model (GTM). Model building begins with discussions with the manager of the village innovation program to produce goals. The goals are then broken down into several sub-goals using the KAOS method. The KAOS method is used for the requirements elicitation process resulting in functional and nonfunctional requirements. This research is the elicitation of the requirement for the village innovation system so that it can demonstrate the initial steps in determining the requirements of the village innovation system before carrying out the design process and the system creation process. The results of this requirement elicitation can be used further in the software engineering process to produce quality and appropriate village innovation

Reflections from the team: Co‐creating visual media about ecological processes for young people

1. Many migratory fish populations are declining, threatened by human-induced pressures such as habitat loss and fragmentation caused by dams, roads, land use change, climate change and pollution. However, public awareness of fish migration and associated human pressures remains limited. 2. It is important to communicate about hard-to-see and complex environmental topics and issues, such as fish migration, with young people, who stand to be the most affected by ongoing global changes. Young people are also at a critical stage in their attitude formation and may be particularly receptive to learning enrichment and engagement for behaviour change about environmental issues. 3. Arts-based methods can be particularly effective in fostering broad personal connections with nature, especially for complex topics like fish migration. The collaborative and creative processes involved in developing such media often lack critique, which limits learning from previous experiences. 4. In this article, we reflect on the co-creation of the Shout Trout Workout (STW), a lyric poem, comic and music video for 8- to 14-year-olds, designed to entertain, engage and enrich learning about migratory fishes and aquatic environments. We chart the process of creation, including conception of ideas, writing the poem, fact-checking and developing the storyline with scientists and creating a comic and music video with visual artists and musicians. 5. We explore some of the challenges and merits of collaborative working, consider the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the creative and initial engagement process and share what we learned about creative input, communication and respect. We also discuss how the experience shaped our thoughts about the nature of co-creation itself, and how in creating STW, collaborators contributed to the process in multiple, nuanced and unanticipated ways (e.g. artistic input, ideas, science, dissemination), representing a spectrum of co-creative practice. 6. We hope that sharing our experiences and reflections is useful and inspiring for other cross-disciplinary collaborations, and for those who aim to create learning enrichment and engagement material about ecological processes and environmental issues for young people.
Using User Journey to map emotional oscillations during CoVID-19 social distancing

The CoVid-19 pandemic has demanded society to social distance, which significantly affected not only people's routine but also and their mental health. The way each person is facing this period of confinement is shaped according to their principles, culture, health, and financial stability, thus leading individuals to react emotionally in different ways. Through Design, it is possible to map these experiences and represent them through User Journeys, allowing clear representations of how the experience took place when facing the fear of contagion, the sudden change of routine, and isolation. This study focuses on discussing the effectiveness of unifying different experiences in a single representation, mainly to outline emotional aspects. Trying to balance all emotional variations in a single User Journey prevents the researcher from seeing important details of the users' experience. In this study, the need to use individual User Journeys was evidenced when it is intended to analyse the emotional aspects of users when dealing with products or services, as individuality can shed light on aspects not observable in a consolidated analysis. © 2021 Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos.

Effection of pH and molar ratio of formaldehyde and urea on preparation of mesoporous SiO2 microspheres with polymerization induced colloidal aggregation method

ABSTRACT Mesoporous SiO2 microspheres were prepared via polymerization induced colloidal aggregation (PICA) method. Particle size of the mesoporous microspheres was about 6 μm. Mesoporous microspheres with various surface morphology and pore structure were obtained via varying the pH and molar ratio of formaldehyde/urea in PICA process. While pH = 1.2 and molar ratio of formaldehyde/urea = 3, the obtained mesoporous SiO2 microspheres had the most uniform pore size distribution and the largest specific surface area.

Conceptualising Flooding Systems Globally and Preferred Adaptation Strategies Locally under Climate Change

Climate induced natural disasters and extreme events are escalating with the increased variability of climatic parameters due to climate change. This study assesses the flood adaptation strategies that are applicable at the community level in two Terai districts of Nepal. This research aimed to analyse existing and preferred future flood adaptation strategies in a flood prone West Rapti River (WRR) Basin of Nepal, and a social survey of 240 households (HHs) and focus group discussions (FGDs). The specific objectives were to identify flood adaptation strategies based on people’s perception. Flood inundation maps are generated for four scenarios based on return periods: Scenario I; Scenario II; Scenario III; and Scenario IV. Peoples’ choice of flood mitigation strategies mainly depends on the current needs of the people and their knowledge of harm. Current needs govern current choices while the basis of future choice is generally made on the degree of the impact or perceived risk of the hazard. This can be clearly seen from the ranking made by the people for Scenarios I and IV. “Household level preparation /management” Cite this paper: Devkota, R.

ARTIGO ORIGINAL DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF COMMERCIALIZED FISH IN NORTHEASTERN PARÁ, COASTAL AMAZON: THE CASE OF THE STREET MARKET IN BRAGANÇA-PA

Bragança is an important municipality in Brazil regarding fishery production. In spite of its important for regional economy, data related to local fisheries such as the production and consumption profiles of commercial species are scarce. Therefore, the goal of this study was to provide an inventory of commercialized fishes in the street market of Bragança along with commercialization parameters. The data collection comprised information based on a questionnaire directed to fishmongers in two sites of the street market (“mercado” or indoor market and “feirinha” or outdoor market) for a 17-month period. The analyzed data included the abundance, seasonality and price of the commercialized species. A total of 103 commercial names were reported, representing about 98 species from 40 families and 15 orders. The indoor and outdoor market differed in relation to consumer’s profile and to the structure, volume, variety, quality and prices of commercial species. The volume and the diversity of commercial species in the indoor market were inferior to those observed in the outdoor market. The most abundant species Recebido em: 29/04/2020 Aprovado em: 29/10/2020 Publicado online em: 20/05/2021
Anti-Atherosclerotic Activity of Inulin Extracted from Cichorium Intybus Roots on Hypercholesterolemic Rats

Atherosclerosis-associated cardiovascular diseases are main causes leading to high mortality worldwide. Hypercholesterolemic is the primary risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Inulin is considered as functional food ingredients since they affect physiological and biochemical processes in rats and human beings, resulting in better health and reduction in the risk of many diseases. The main sources of inulin that are used in the food industry are chicory. Rats were divided into two main group, the first group negative control group (5 rats) fed on basal diet for all experimental period as control negative group. Hypercholesterolemic rats were divided into 4 subgroups (5 per each): subgroup 1 served as positive control group, subgroup 2, 3 and 4 were fed basal diet and given orally one receives a daily gavage 0.25, 0.5 and 1g of inulin respectively for 30 days. After the end of experiment period, blood samples were collected for used to the biochemical analysis lipids profile and antioxidant status. The results indicated that treatments with 1g of inulin significantly (p≤0.05) improved lipid profile and compared to positive control group and other treated groups. In Conclusion :The treatment with inulin had ability to decreasing of serum and liver lipid profiles( TC, TG and TL) , LDL, VLDLCholesterol, fecal lipid profile and bile acid, and increase level of HDL of serum of hypercholesterolemic rats.
