The Effect of Agility Exercises on the COD Speed and Speed in Terms of the Frequency of the Training

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of agility exercises applied on female students who play handball in school teams on the change of direction (COD)speed and speed in terms of different exercise frequencies for 10 weeks. 75 female students have participated in the study. The first group has been applied agility exercises of 20 minutes during the handball work-out after the warm-up exercises for 5 times a week, the second group was applied these exercises for 3 times a week and the third group was applied these exercises for 2 times a week. Before and after the 10 week agility exercises, the athletes' age, sports age, height, weight, Zigzag test (COD speed) and 20m speed test measurements were taken. After the exercises, COD speed and 20m speed measurements displayed a significance level of difference in terms of the groups (p rd group is significantly higher than the average of the 1 st group. In terms of 20m speed, the average of the 1 st group is significantly lower than the averages of the 2 nd group and the 3 rd group and there is no significant difference between the 2 nd and 3 rd groups. In terms of the COD speed, the decrease in the 1 st group is significantly higher than the decrease in the 2 nd group and the measurements of the 1st and 2nd groups are significantly higher than the decrease in the 3 rd group (3>2>1). In terms of the 20m speed measurement, the decrease in the 1 st group is significantly higher than the decrease in the other two groups and there is no significant difference between the decrease values of the 2 nd and 3 rd groups. As a result, frequency in the agility exercises of female children who play handball in this age group is important. Within the scope of yearly planning, giving place to agility exercises in a regular manner 5 times a week each for 20 minutes can be stated to affect speed, agility and COD speed performance which are more important in this sport.
The General Aggression Model and its application to violent offender assessment and treatment

Accordingly, the extant literature suggests aggressive individuals are a heterogeneous population. To date, interventions targeting violence propensity have remained largely disconnected from much of the theoretical and experimental literature concerning aggression and violence. Although the evidence supporting the efficacy of interventions designed to reduce aggression and violence in offenders is building (Dvoskin, Skeem, Novaco, & Douglas, 2012), several researchers (e.g., Gilbert & Daffern, 2010) have noted that violent offender interventions tend to be compromised by an absence of overarching theory. A greater intersection between violent offender treatment programs and psychological understandings of aggression is required, in order to ground approaches to the assessment and treatment of violent offenders in a cohesive theoretical framework (Polaschek, Calvert, & Gannon, 2009). In this chapter, we describe the general aggression model (GAM; Anderson & Bushman, 2002), a contemporary
Assessing Cognitive Flexibility, Communication, Social Interaction and Interest Patterns of Persons with Autism as a Basis for Intervention

The prevalence of people on the autism spectrum can vary from 1% to 1.5% of the population, nowadays. Besides an adequate diagnosis, specialized treatment offered to these people must be a priority for the public health policies and a target of interest for researchers and health professionals. Autism is characterized by the presence of deficits in communication, social interaction and patterns of restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. One of the theories that explain autism points out to disorders in some higher order functions such as failures in cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and working memory. In this study, 18 persons with autism were assessed in the areas of non-verbal intelligence, cognitive flexibility besides the affected areas in autism: communication, social interaction and patterns of interests and behavior. The aim was to verify if there was a correlation between failures in cognitive flexibility and the main impairments of the autism spectrum. Raven’s Progressive Matrices, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test—WCST and Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised—ADI-R were used. Although correlation between WCST and ADI-R scores did not reach conventional statistical significance on most categories, the category failure to maintain set (FMS) in WCST and difficulties in social interaction in ADI-R were positively correlated with statistical significance. This result indicates a deficit of focused attention related to the subjects’ inability to successfully perform or maintain a social interaction situation. This would not support the idea that these subjects fail to flexibly shift their focus of attention from one stimulus to the other in a social interaction situation. On the contrary, it seems that they shift their focus of attention constantly, once their inability to maintain set is positively correlated with difficulties in social interaction. Nevertheless, further research with a larger number of subjects is necessary in order to clarify if FMS assesses distractibility or cognitive flexibility.
THE CYTOTOXICITY EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT NANOPARTICLES ON BALB/C MICE CELLS

The increase in the use of nanoparticles in medicine, manufacturing, consumer products and research have raised questions about the toxicity of nanomaterials. Unfortunately, not enough is known about their cytotoxicity and how nanoparticles correlate with nano/bio interface. In this study, cytotoxicity of nanoparticles(Titanium Oxide [TiO2], Zinc oxide [ZnO], Magnesium oxide [MgO], Silver [Ag] and Gold [Au] ) were evaluated on different cells (skin, macrophage, heart, liver, kidney) from Balb/c mice. Firstly ,different concentration of nanoparticles were prepared in normal saline. Also, different cells were isolated from mice organs by mechanical and enzymatic manner in RPMI1649 medium then added to nanoparticles and incubated one hour at 37 0c. Finally, cytotoxic effects of nanoparticles were measured by MTT and LDH assay. This research showed that Cytotoxicity of all nanoparticles were dose-dependent so that the high Cytotoxicitys correlated with high concentration of nanoparticles . For the same concentration (1000g/L) of Ag,Au,TiO2, ZnO and MgO nanoparticles cell death was 50%,48%,46%,44% and 42% also LDH enzyme leakage was 290,281,275,272,266 I.U/L respectively. These results showed the that most cytotoxicity effects were observed for Ag nanoparticles and the least were for MgO nanoparticles. Meanwhile, no significance differences have been shown in cytotoxicity effect on different mice cells that this means nanomaterials have no specific target on cells and affect whole cells.

Comparative study of prevalence of burn out among medical students from two medical colleges in Eastern India

Background: Emotional exhaustion, and reduced perception of personal accomplishment is commonly defined as burn out syndrome. This may develop when there is significant stress without adequate support and resources in the face of work overload, as commonly happens with physicians and undergraduate medical students.Methods: This work attempted to study the level of burn out among all the second professional medical students in two different medical colleges and compare the trends of an urban medical college with a college in the outskirts of the city. 278 students from two medical colleges participated in the study wherein they were given standard questionnaires for assessment of stress, support, satisfaction and control parameters.Results: Overall 169 students of the 278 (60.79%) interviewed had scores correlating with burn out. Both college students showed burnout in the various parameters individually like stress, lack of support, dissatisfaction, lack of control and perception of success. There was a significantly greater prevalence of burn out scores among students in the city college (123 students or 60.84%) compared to those studying in the rural medical college (46 students or 41.07%) (p ≤0.05)Conclusions: Burn out syndrome was more prevalent among city students compared to rural students. Individual as well as organizational interventions need to be targeted to prevent burnout among medical students.
VideoViz - Uma proposta de ferramenta de visualização de logs de interação em players de vídeo

The usage of technologies for content authoring, storage, distribution and presentation supported the arise of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) such as Moodle and MOOCs (e.g., Udacity, Coursera, EdX). All students’ interaction in these environments can be stored in logs. For instance, video is one of the resources has a greater focus on VLEs. In this paper, we present a state-of-the-art overview of interaction analysis on video players. We noticed that teachers would like to know how and when students interact with videos. In order to fill this gap, we propose VideoViz, a tool to analyse logs from interaction on video players.
Distributionally Robust Co-Optimization of Power Dispatch and Do-Not-Exceed Limits

To address the challenge of the renewable energy uncertainty, the ISO New England (ISO-NE) has proposed to apply do-not-exceed (DNE) limits, which represent the maximum nodal injection of renewable energy the grid can accommodate. Unfortunately, it appears challenging to compute DNE limits that simultaneously maintain the system flexibility and incorporate a large portion of the available renewable energy at the minimum cost. In addition, it is often challenging to accurately estimate the joint probability distribution of the renewable energy. In this paper, we propose a two-stage distributionally robust optimization model that co-optimizes the power dispatch and the DNE limits, by adopting an affinely adjustable power redispatch and an adjustable joint chance constraint that measures the renewable utilization. Notably, this model admits a second-order conic reformulation that can be efficiently solved by the commercial solvers (e.g., MOSEK). We conduct case studies based on modified IEEE test instances to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and analyze the trade-off among the system flexibility, the renewable utilization, and the dispatch cost.
Carbon Sequestration Potentials in Agricultural Soils

Soils play significant roles in global carbon cycle. It was estimated that soils have contributed as much as 55 to 878 billion tons (GT) of carbon to the total atmospheric CO2 (Kimble et al. 2002). The total soil carbon consists of the soil organic carbon and inorganic carbon, estimated to be approximately over 2250 GT in the top 1 meter depth (Batjes, 1996). The soil organic carbon consists of “a mixture of plant and animal residues at various stages of decomposition, of substances synthesized microbiologically and or chemically from the breakdown products, and of the bodies of live microorganisms and small animals” (Schnitzer, 1996). The soil inorganic carbon includes element carbon and carbonates.
Proposal for a framework to evaluate elementary school students understanding of natural selection

Evolution is one of the key concepts in biology that should be explored since kindergarten. However, the few studies analysing elementary school students’ learning about natural selection used distinct criteria to evaluate their knowledge. In the present work we develope a framework to evaluate students’ understanding of natural selection, based on a literature review and on an empirical study. This framework can be used to assess students understanding of evolution and natural selection, to inform the development of educational activities and to assess their impact on students’ understanding of these processes.
A Randomized Block Proximal Variable Sample-size Stochastic Gradient Method for Composite Nonconvex Stochastic Optimization

This paper considers the minimization of a sum of an expectation-valued smooth nonconvex function and a nonsmooth block-separable convex regularizer. By combining a randomized block-coordinate descent method with a proximal variable sample-size stochastic gradient (VSSG) method, we propose a randomized block proximal VSSG algorithm. In each iteration, a single block is randomly chosen to updates its estimates by {a VSSG scheme} with an increasing batch of sampled gradients, while the remaining blocks are kept invariant. By appropriately chosen batch sizes, we prove that every limit point for almost every sample path is a stationary point when blocks are chosen either randomly or cyclically. We further show that the ergodic mean-squared error of the gradient mapping {diminishes at the rate of $\mathcal{O}(1/K) $ where $K$denotes the iteration index} and establish that the iteration and oracle complexity to obtain an $\epsilon$-stationary point are $\mathcal{O}(1/\epsilon )$ and $\mathcal{O}(1/\epsilon^2)$, respectively. Furthermore, under a $ {\mu}$-proximal Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz condition with the batch size increasing at a suitable geometric rate, we prove that the suboptimality diminishes at a {\em geometric} rate, the {\em optimal} deterministic rate. In addition, if $L_{\rm ave}$ denotes the average of block-specific Lipschitz constants, the iteration and oracle complexity to obtain an $\epsilon$-optimal solution are $\mathcal{O}( {(L_{\rm ave}/\mu)}\ln(1/\epsilon))$ and $\mathcal{O}\left( (1/\epsilon)^{1+c} \right)$, respectively, {matching} the deterministic result. When $n=1$, we obtainthe {\em optimal} \red{oracle complexity bound} $\mathcal{O}(1/\epsilon) $ while $c>0$ when $n\geq 2$ represents the positive cost of multiple blocks. Finally, preliminary numerical experiments support our theoretical findings.
Concept for Structuring and Derivation of Technology Fields in the Context of Cyber-Physical Production Systems ( CPPS )

First cyber-physical-production systems (CPPS) are already in use in factories and their number will increase significantly in the next years. Thereby they are heralding the fourth industrial revolution, denominated »Industrie 4.0« in Germany. The implementation of this proclaimed industrial revolution will come along with crucial technological changes and business model innovations, including enormous opportunities for companies but also serious risks, if critical or disruptive technological changes are not identified early enough and corresponding reactions are not initiated. Thus an efficient and effective technology forecasting is crucial for companies to benefit from »Industrie 4.0«. But companies’ business intelligence departments are facing the major difficulty to identify the relevant technological inventions in a new and so far unstructured technological environment. Therefore this paper presents a concept for the identification and structuring of application technologies and the demand-oriented derivation of structured search fields for the technology forecasting process in the context of CPPS. The concept was developed within the research project »Industrie 4.0 – International Benchmark, Future scenarios and recommendations for production research (INBENZHAP)«, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Penetration Testing for Software Defined Networks against DOS Attack

- - Penetration test is a great way to identify vulnerabilities in SDN network and DOS Mitigation can be done by identifying the attacks. Penetration testing is a specialized security auditing method where a tester manually creates attacks on software defined network. This test usually involves the use of attacking methods conducted by trusted individuals called penetration tester that are conducted in a similar manner as practiced by hostile intruders or hackers. The goal of this penetration testing is to identify attack surfaces, vulnerabilities, and other weaknesses from the perspective of an attacker. This is the most effective way to exploit and to prove that the network is vulnerable. Penetration testing allows the security analyst to find new vulnerabilities which is certified as highly secure. In this paper, we proposed penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities in software Defined Networks. Penetration Testing is more important and it is mandatory for every system or network in order make the system or network more robust.

Research on the Departure Effect of the Growth Enterprise Market Listing Corporation Executives

In our country, the GEM Listing Corporation executives are usually the founder of the company, so the departure of them will have a significant impact on the company and the market. While in the past, most of the literature focuses on the factors of the turnover of the executives, the influence of the senior executives’ turnover on the capital market is rare. We selected executive turnover data from 2009 October 30 (GEM Listing Date) to 2014 December 30, using the event study method of the Chinese stock market effect, and drawing the conclusion: GEM listed company executives turnover on the stock market effect is not the information effect or the true effect, but the cash effects; although executive turnover will produce cash effect on the market, after calculation, according to incomplete statistics results only about half of the executives is in cash precise turnover, cash index is not high. So the conclusion is that resignation of senior management cash only part of the phenomenon, but it is enlarged by the market, having obvious effect of cash.
Overview of Light-Ion Beam Therapy

Columbus-Ohio, ICRU-IAEA meeting, 18-20 March 2006 Overview of Light-Ion Beam Therapy William T. Chu * E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory University of California, Berkeley History of Hadron Therapy In 1930, Ernest Orlando Lawrence at the University of California at Berkeley invented the cyclotron. One of his students, M. Stanley Livingston, constructed a 13-cm diameter model that had all the features of early cyclotrons, accelerating protons to 80 keV using less than 1 kV on a semi-circular accelerating electrode, now called the dee. ” 1 Soon after, Lawrence constructed the first two-dee 27-Inch (69-cm) Cyclotron, which produced protons and deuterons of 4.8 MeV. In 1939, Lawrence constructed the 60-Inch (150-cm) Cyclotron, which accelerated deuterons to 19 MeV. Just before WWII, Lawrence designed a 184-inch cyclotron, but the war prevented the building of this machine. Immediately after the war ended, the Veksler-McMillan principle of phase stability was put forward, which enabled the transformation of conventional cyclotrons to successful synchrocyclotrons. When completed, the 184-Inch Synchrocyclotron produced 340-MeV protons. Following it, more modern synchrocyclotrons were built around the globe, and the synchrocyclotrons in Berkeley and Uppsala, together with the Harvard cyclotron, would perform pioneering work in treatment of human cancer using accelerated hadrons (protons and light ions). When the 184-Inch Synchrocyclotron was built, Lawrence asked Robert Wilson, one of his former graduate students, to look into the shielding requirements for of the new accelerator. Wilson soon realized that the 184-Inch would produce a copious number of protons and other light ions that had enough energy to penetrate human body, and could be used for treatment of deep-seated diseases. Realizing the advantages of delivering a larger dose in the Bragg peak 2 when placed inside deep-seated tumors, he published in a medical journal a seminal paper on the rationale to use accelerated protons and light ions for treatment of human cancer. 3 The precise dose localization provided by protons and light ions means lower doses to normal tissues adjacent to the treatment volume compared to those in conventional (photon) treatments. * Supported by the Director, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. 1 E.O.
