SWIM START EFFECTIVENESS AND LOWER LIMB POWER OF YOUNG MALE AND FEMALE SWIMMERS

Introduction. The aim of this study was to determine whether the mechanical power of the lower limbs influences swim start effectiveness in young swimmers. Material and methods. 32 swimmers aged 15-16 performed the CMJ (counter-movement jump) and SJ (squat jump). The following were measured: jump height (H), maximal speed (vMAX), maximal and average power in absolute (P and PA, respectively) and relative terms (PREL and PAREL). Registration of the starting jump to freestyle with the measurement of the time to cover the first 10-m distance (t10) was registered. The following were determined: length and time of flight (Lf, tf), height of the hip joints at the time of the start signal (Hh), angle in the hip joints at the moment of loss of contact with the block (AT) and the moment of emerging fingers in water (AE), as well as angle of water attack (AA). The significance of differences between the mean values recorded in the group of boys and girls was assessed, while correlations between variables were described. Results. In the boys’ group, only Hh correlated negatively with t10 (r=-0.57). There were significant differences in the level of all variables recorded for girls and boys during the CMJ and SJ. At the same time, none of the indicators characterizing the CMJ were correlated with t10. In the boys’ group, significant correlations were found between t10 and H, vMAX, P, PREL and PA in the SJ (-0.51 r -0.72). Conclusions. In boys, the time to cover the first 10 m was shorter, while the values for time and flight length as well as the height of the hips on the starting block and the value of the angle in the hip joints during push-off were higher. One of the reasons for these disproportions may be differences between gender in the power of the lower limbs and techniques for performing the starting jump. The relationship between the on-land trials testing mechanical power of the lower limbs and the time of the swim start is stronger in boys. The CMJ seems to be of little usefulness in predicting the effectiveness of a swim start.
THE EFFECT OF VIBRO-MASSAGE ON THE LEVEL OF SELECTED MARKER OF MUSCLE DAMAGEAND CONNECTIVE TISSUES AFTER LONG-TERM PHYSICAL EXERCISE IN MALES

Study aim. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of using of vibro-massage on specific parameters of frequency, amplitude and pulsation sequence after prolonged physical exercise on post-workout restitution among men, based on the assessment of biochemical concentrations of indicators assessing the degree of damage to muscle cells. Material and methods. A group of 20 men aged 22±2.5 years was selected for the study, with average values of: body height (BH) - 179±1.00 cm, body mass (BM) - 74.3±1.70 kg, percentage of fat content (PF) - 10.8±0.60%, and with a fairly high level of VO2max 52.6±8.0 ml.kg-1.min-1. Results. In two groups - with the use of vibration procedures (VG) and placebo (PG), statistically significant differences were found for lactate concentration (LA) in blood samples (serum) collected after 15, 30 and 60 minutes, as well as MMP-2, Mb and IL-6 1h later and 24 hours following the exercise. Conclusions. It has been shown that a single, strong physical stimulus causes large disturbances of homeostasis in the body, while the use of vibro-massage with the indicated parameters, during rest, results in an increase in the rate of the body’s restitution during the post-exercise phase.
A Comprehensive DC Railway Traction System Simulator Based on MATLAB: Tabriz Line 2 Metro Project Case Study

As a result of rapid global urbanization, energy and environmental sustainability are becoming ‎increasingly significant. According to the Rail Transport and Environment Report published by ‎the International Union of Railways in 2015, energy used in the transportation sector accounts ‎for approximately 32% of final energy consumption in the EU. Railway, representing over 8.5% ‎of the total traffic in volume, shares less than 2% of the transport energy consumption. Railway ‎plays an important role in reducing energy usage and CO2 emissions, compared with other ‎transport modes such as road transport. However, despite the inherent efficiency, the energy ‎used by the rail industry is still high, making the study of railway energy efficiency of global ‎importance. Therefore, in this paper, the development of the comprehensive simulator software ‎for DC-fed railway systems is demonstrated. In the proposed MATLAB based software, the ‎train movement model and railway power network model are integrated into the simulator. This ‎energy simulator can calculate the energy flow of the whole system according to multiple-train ‎driving controls and timetables. Finally, the results of simulations for a standard Railway ‎system are compared to valid references. ‎
Brief Outline on Macrophages

Macrophages the most plastic cells of the hematopoietic framework are found taking all things together tissues and display incredible utilitarian variety. They have parts being developed, homeostasis, tissue fix, and insusceptibility. While anatomically particular, inhabitant tissue macrophages show distinctive transcriptional profiles, and useful capacities, they are completely needed for the support of homeostasis. Notwithstanding, these reparative and homeostatic capacities can be undermined by persistent abuses, bringing about a causal relationship of macrophages with illness states. In this survey, we talk about how macrophages control typical physiology and improvement and give a few instances of their pathophysiologic jobs in infection. We characterize the "trademarks" of macrophages performing specific capacities, considering novel bits of knowledge into the variety of their ancestries, personality, and guideline. This variety is fundamental to comprehend on the grounds that macrophages have arisen as significant remedial focuses in numerous significant human illnesses

Inheritance of migratory direction in a bird species: a cross-breeding experiment with SE-migrating and SW-migrating blackcaps (<em>Sylvia atricapilla</em>)

Young avian migrants of many species are able to find their speciesor population-specific wintering area without the help of conspecifics. In orientation tests hand-raised birds have been demonstrated to choose appropriate population-specific migratory directions, suggesting a genetic basis to this behaviour. I here report results of a cross-breeding experiment between individuals of two blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) populations with widely different migratory directions. The orientation of the F1 offspring was intermediate between and significantly different from that of both parental populations (Fig. 2). The variance of individual mean directions in the F1 generation did not increase compared with the parental groups, and the inheritance of migratory directions was not sex-linked. The data provide direct evidence for a genetic basis of migratory directions in birds and demonstrate a phenotypically intermediate mode of inheritance.
Effect of Marble Dust on Compressive Strength of Recycled Aggregate Con- crete

The search of alternative ingredients of concrete to conserve the conventional ingredients and protect environment is an active area of research. Therefore, this research article presents laboratory investigations on compressive strength of concrete made with partial replacement of natural coarse aggregates from demolishing waste concrete and partial replacement of cement with marble dust. Recycled and conventional aggregates were used in equal dosage. Cement was replaced with marble dust from 0 to 10% in increment of 2.5%. Six concrete mixes were designed using 1:2:4 mix and 0.5 w/c ratio. Workability of each mix was evaluated by slump test. 30 standard size cylinders were prepared and cured for 28-days followed by testing for weight and compressive strength. The comparison of results with those of conventional concrete showed that 5% replacement of cement with marble dust gives 8.3% increase in compressive strength and 2% reduction in weight. Therefore, 5% replacement is concluded as the optimum dosage of the marble dust in green concrete. The outcome of the research will provide understanding of the behavior of marble dust on compressive strength of green concrete made by using demolishing waste as coarse aggregates. Keywords—Green concrete, recycled aggregates, demolishing waste, marble dust, compressive strength
Relevance of Nanomedicine to Veterinary Science: An Insight

Nanotechnology is no more being a concept or theory of the new world, but has turned into a new enabling technology over the years, with tremendous potential to revolutionize agriculture and livestock. Nanotechnology has the potential to solve many more puzzles related to animal health, production, reproduction, good hygienic practices during rearing and maintaining of food animals, the possible applications of the technology is almost incredible in relation to livestock. It can provide new tools for molecular and cellular biology, biotechnology, veterinary physiology, animal genetics, reproduction etc. which will allow researchers to handle biological materials such as DNA, proteins or cells in minute quantities usually nano-liters or pico-liters. Nanotechnology tools like microfluidics, nanomaterials, bioanalytical nanosensors, etc. Existing research has clearly demonstrated the feasibility of introducing nanoshells and nanotubes into animal systems to seek out and destroy targeted cells. Nanoparticles smaller than one micron have been used to deliver drugs and genes into cells. Thus in this contribution will provide a glimpse of the probable future of nanomedicine in veterinary science and keep veterinarians abreast of the emerging technology. It is reasonable to presume over the next couple of decades that nanobiotechnology industries and unique developments will revolutionise animal health and medicine. In spite of all benefits and opportunities which use of nanotechnology offers, it is still in the early stages of its development and not applied throughout the world. Also, there are little concerns about impact of nanoparticles on animal health and environment.
Thai Poetry Translation to English with Tuning Module

: The complexities of poetry translation always challenges researchers in the field of NLP (National Language Processing) and MT (Machine Translation). This paper will focus on the Thai poetry type “Klonn-Pad” and aim to translate into English keeping terms of prosody. The results of translation between MT Forward and Dictionary Base Forward will be compared as well as between MT Backward and Dictionary Base Backward. BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) metric will be used to compare between reference and candidates of English results. The abbreviations are as follows, T1 (G) translated by Google API, T1 (D) translated by Dictionary Base, T3 (G) translated by Google API with Tuning and T3 (D) translated by Dictionary Base. The BLEU score of T1 (G) equaled 0.344, T1 (D) equaled 0.888, T3 (G) equaled 0.674 and T3 (D) equaled 0.889. The survey results regarding native Thai people opinions to this case study, sorted by highest score first was T3 (D), T1 (D), T3 (G), and T1 (G). Based on this study, it can be concluded that the machine translators are unable to provide good enough translation for Thai poetry compared with the dictionary base. Thus, it is necessary and reasonable that Thai poetry needs to have a special dictionary with tuning algorithms to provide better results. Moreover, another reason is that poetry may not relate completely to syntax structures.
Is The Desire to Take Selfies Related to Self-Esteem in High School Teens?

Selfitis is one of the phenomena that is currently popular among adolescents. Adolescents are attracted to show self-presentation, one of which is through selfies. This study aimed to identify the correlation between the obsessive desire to take selfies and high school adolescents' self-esteem. This research was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The study population was high school adolescents aged 15-16 years with 797 participants recruited using a total sampling method. The instrument in this study used the Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaire to measure self-esteem and the Selfitis Behavior Scale (SBS) questionnaire to measure selfitis in adolescents. The results showed that most of the adolescents had borderline selfitis (46.3%) and high self-esteem (88.1%). Factors that were significantly related to taking selfies amongst adolescents were gender (p-value: 0.000) and socioeconomic status (p-value: 0.000). Meanwhile, gender (p-value: 0.013), socio-economic status (p-value: 0.032), family harmony (p-value: 0.000), and selfitis (p-value: 0.000) were significantly related to self-esteem in adolescents. The multivariate analysis results showed that harmony in the family was the most influential factor in adolescents' self-esteem. Adolescents with higher levels of selfitis and harmony in the family tended to have better self-esteem.
Optimal Resource Allocation Using Software Defined Network for Wireless IoT Application Using RBFNN

An economic way to allocate resources for IoT based devices based on Software Defined Network (SDN) is proposed in this paper. The resource units can be configured dynamically in a SDN. This feature gives the flexibility to change the operating parameters on the go. Resources can be allocated dynamically as per operating conditions. Utilizing these features, cost effective way to configure access layer of modern network is presented. The objective of cost minimization and improved quality of service constraints has been formulated and solved using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN). The RBFNN minimises the cost of resource allocation by considering good quality of services. The proposed cost minimisation for resource allocation in SDN based wireless IoT application using RBFNN is implemented in MATLAB and the results justify that the RBFNN is has given a cost minimised resource allocation.
Numerical Investigation of FRP-Strengthened CHS Columns

The use of external CFRP jacket is examined as a retrofitting technique that improves the ductility and the load carrying capacity of the steel tube. The study focuses on the interaction between the steel and the jacket, which is treated as a contact problem. The contact conditions in the steel-CFRP interface are represented by interface laws. Finite element modeling is used to simulate the physical problem and the results of the numerical analysis are presented and discussed. CFRP-jacket is proved to be an effective strengthening method for hollow steel columns.
Comparison of Two Dynamic Models of Economic Growth

Two dynamic models of economic growth with the same balance equation are considered. First, we establish the solution of the Harrod-Domar model with time-dependent coefficient of the capital intensity of income growth. (Previously, the only constant coefficients were considered.) Second, we show that in the Solow model with the Cobb-Douglas production function, the capital intensity of income growth depends on time. Comparing these models, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the setting optimal control problems (maximization of the integral discounted utility function) in the extended the Harrod-Domar model.
Linking Geographical Vocabularies To Fulﬁl Information Seeking Needs In The Cultural Heritage Domain

Being able to align concepts from diﬀerent vocabularies to each other is an important requirement for extracting value from linked data. Vocabulary alignment methods have been studied to a point where relatively straightforward alignments can be generated with a high level of conﬁdence. However, cases remain where the alignment methods fail to generate conclusive results. This paper explores the possibilities of aligning geographical vocabularies using various state-of-the-art alignment techniques, with an emphasis on exploring various disambiguation techniques for when too many mappings are returned. Additionally, the alignments made are utilised in the development of a generous interface to identify to which degree generous interfaces combining metadata from diﬀerent vocabularies can address challenges relating to information seeking needs in the cultural heritage domain.
ONLINE DIALOGUE AND INTERACTION DISRUPTION. A LATIN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT’S USE OF TWITTER AFFORDANCES TO DISSOLVE ONLINE CRITICISM

Few academic studies have focused on how Latin American governments operate online. Political communication studies focused on social media interactions have overwhelmingly dedicated efforts to understand how regular citizens interact and behave online. Through the analysis of hashtags and other online strategies that were used during Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s (EPN) term to critique or manifest unconformity regarding part of the government’s performance, this study observes how members of a Latin American democratic regime weaponized a social media platform to dissipate criticism. More specifically, it proposes that the manipulation of social media affordances can debilitate essential democratic attributes like freedom of expression. Using a qualitative approach, consisting of observation, textual analysis, and online ethnography, findings show that some Mexican government’s manipulation of inconvenient Twitter conversations could impact or even disrupt potential offline crises. Another objective of the presented research is to set a baseline for future efforts focused on how Latin American democratic regimes behave and generate digital communication on social media platforms.
Effects of Supportive Group Therapy on Levels of Hopelessness in Patients with Cervical Cancer at Cancer Diseases Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia

Background: Hopelessness is a subjective appraisal of negative expectations about the occurrence of a highly valued outcome coupled with the sense that one lacks control over desired events in the future. Hopelessness is an early symptom of depression and is comorbid with cervical cancer. Supportive Group therapy offers an economical and time efficient solution. In Zambia and particularly at Cancer Disease Hospital such structured supportive group therapy is not being offered. This study aims to ascertain whether supportive group therapy can reduce levels of hopelessness in cervical cancer patients at Cancer disease hospital in Lusaka Zambia.Methodology: This was a Single blinded Randomized Controlled Trial conducted at Cancer Disease Hospital in Lusaka Zambia. Single blinded in the sense that participants did not know whether they would be in the control or intervention group. It was conducted between March 2019 and September 2020. Patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of cervical cancer were recruited. Socio- demographic characteristics and clinical presentations were elicited by detailed history taking and file review. All the participants completed Pre- Hopelessness in illness (HAI) Questionnaire and their results were noted. They were then divided into a control and intervention group using computer generated numbers. The intervention group then attended one hour Supportive group therapy sessions weekly for four weeks. The control group continued to receive the usual support of their family members and Cancer disease hospital staff. Both groups were then administered the Post- Hopelessness in illness Questionnaire and their results were noted. Results: 49 patients were recruited. Patient retention was 92% (n= 45). Majority of the participants were of the age group 41-50 years i.e. control group (n =12) intervention group (n= 7). Majority were; married control (n= 11) intervention (n= 12), unemployed control (n=14) intervention (n= 18), had social support control (n=14) intervention (n= 18). Only social support correlated with lower HAI scores (p= 0.047). There was no correlation between therapy and post HAI scores as both p- values i.e. control (p= 0.683) intervention (p= 0.368) were greater than confidence interval 0.05. The intervention group had a greater reduction in HAI scores in comparison to the control group.Conclusion: There was minimal difference in treatment outcomes of cervical cancer patients receiving supportive group therapy to those not receiving supportive group therapy. However, the intervention group showed a better reduction in hopelessness (HAI scores). Social support is the only significant factor associated with lower levels of hopelessness.
Voltage Differencing Transconductance Amplifier based Ultra-Low Power, Universal Filters and Oscillators using 32 nm Carbon Nanotube Field Eff ect Transistor Technology

Carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) is strong candidate to replace existing silicon based transistors. The ballistic transport of electrons in CNTFET channel leads to ultra-low power or high frequency devices. Since, lot of digital applications of CNCTFET were presented. However, much less work was done in analog applications of CNTFETs. This paper presents analog applications of CNTFET and CNTFET implementation of voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA). The CNTFET VDTA based filters and oscillators were proposed. The VDTA circuits are resistorless and can be tuned electronically only by changing transconductance. The proposed CNTFET VDTA show power consumption of 15000 times less than compared to 0.18um TSMC technology and significant reduction in chip area. All simulations were performed using HSPICE and MATLAB simulation tools.
