Effects of Interactive Metronome and golf swing mechanics training on technique and motor timing in professional and amateur golfers

Accurate motor timing is required to produce well-coordinated movements during the golf swing. We developed the Interactive Metronome protocol, which included golf swing mechanics to improve motor timing. Thirty golfers were recruited into a category based on their experience: (a) professionals who qualified to play in the Professional golf tournament (n = 10) and (b) amateurs who played in the college golf tournament (n = 20). The amateur group was then randomized into either an intervention or control group. The intervention groups completed 12 sessions of Interactive Metronome with golf swing mechanics. During Interactive Metronome with golf swing mechanics training, golf swing mechanics were practiced with both audio and visual timing cues. The control group completed golf swing training only. Motor timing and golf mechanics were measured before and after the training. There was a significant time by group interaction (p = 0.048) in the coordination of the upper limbs where the professional and amateur groups showed a significant improvement compared with the control (p = 0.048). There was a main effect of time and a significant improvement in overall motor timing (p < 0.001), hand and feet (p < 0.01) timing, and balance (p = 0.003) from pre to post test. Club speed (p = 0.008), club path variability (p = 0.009), and smash factor (p < 0.001) showed a main effect of group where the professional golfers showed greater smash factor and club speed and less variability than the amateur golfers. These findings suggest that Interactive Metronome with golf swing mechanics can improve coordination in limbs and golf swing mechanics.
A tripartite framework for extending university-student co-creation to include workplace partners in the work-integrated learning context

ABSTRACT While at university, students increasingly have opportunities to play roles as consultants, student representatives, co-researchers or curriculum co-designers, and co-creation between university staff and students has received considerable attention in recent literature. While there is some evidence of co-creation with industry and community partners, workplace partners are not conceptualised as stakeholders in the co-creation process. This gap is particularly challenging in the work-integrated learning (WIL) context where students engage in authentic professional experiences, such as placements or projects, as part of their learning. We draw on reflections and the processes for producing resources in two co-creation activities to explore the phenomenon of co-creation between workplace partners and both university staff and students. Based on the analysis, we propose an extended tripartite co-creation framework. The framework outlines workplace partner, student and university staff contributions as planners, contributors, creators and reviewers, acknowledging the value of contributions consistent with each participant’s expertise, perspectives and time availability. Further, the proposed framework simultaneously reflects the ability for participants to engage in co-creation equitably, while acknowledging the university staff role in curating learning resources. In this way, the model acknowledges the potential for redistributing power through co-creation, while recognising university responsibility for learning outcomes and assurance of learning.
Computed Tomography: Fundamentals, System Technology, Image Quality, Applications

The target groups for this book include radiologists, medical technicians, clinical physicists, students in medicine, radiation physicians, physicians in hospitals, and physicians in training. This is the third edition of the well-known Computed Tomography by Willi A Kalender. It offers a comprehensive and user-oriented description of the theoretical and technical system fundamentals of CT. The chapter divisions are unchanged from the second edition. The first chapters describe the technical principles of CT imaging, followed by an excellent discussion of image quality. Dose issues are updated, and the first paragraph is changed from “CT – a High Dose Examination Procedure? ” to “CT – the High Dose Myth”. Though, I miss an introduction to iterative reconstruction techniques. The chapter about twoand three-dimensional image processing is unchanged, as is also the last chapter for the more special interested reader about mathematical aspects of image reconstructions. As before there is a good index and a comprehensive glossary describes all the important technical terms in alphabetical order. The book is in general updated and enlarged, from 306 to 372 pages, and latest topics such as dual source CT, dual energy CT, flat detector CT, interventional CT, and breast CT are added. However, body perfusion CT is not discussed. Most of the illustrations are presented in color in this edition, and such the design is more attractive. The enclosed DVD offers copies of all figures from the book, case studies, and interactive exercises for image viewing and manipulation. As the earlier editions of this handy book, it serves both as an introduction and an update in CT imaging. This updated classical book in the field of CT should be available in every radiology department; the price is no obstacle.
Searching for online news content: the challenges and decisions

ABSTRACT This paper raises questions about the reliability of findings arising from an online publishing environment. Focusing on a case study of the Victorian media’s reporting of violence against women, it argues that many studies that are presented as accurate and empirical representations of online media coverage may be questionable. This is because of the increasingly inconsistent and ad hoc nature of the online databases used to collect the content. This raises deep problems surrounding the findings and claims that can be made by media research and the future of empirical media analysis. There are warnings of the inadequacy of standard methods used to collect content and suggestions are made such as, triangulation of different databases and the combination of computational and human methods. However, there is no definitive solution to this problem nor are there set protocols on how to proceed in this area of study. This paper aims to provide the research community with a transparent account of the challenges and decisions made when grappling with the issue of collecting online news content. It is suggested that a more proactive collaboration between newsroom archivists, database services and researchers is needed going forward.
Impact of exam type on exam scores, anxiety, and knowledge retention in a cost and management accounting course

ABSTRACT The study explored the application of closed-book, open-book and cheat-sheet exams in an undergraduate cost and management accounting course at a university in Ghana. 198 students participated in an exploratory study examining how the different exam types impact on exam scores, pre-exam anxiety and knowledge retention. The study improves on the methods used in prior studies by, simplifying the estimation of pre-exam anxiety, and controlling for general student aptitude (GPA) in the specification of model. ANOVA was used to analyse the data. The results of the study provide compelling support for the application of cheat-sheet exams even though the perceptual views of students regarding this exam type were quite low on several variables and parameters.
Psychometric Properties of the Sensory Processing Measure Preschool-Home among Saudi Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Pilot Study

ABSTRACT Aims: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder associated with intellectual, communicative, and social deficits. Moreover, 42 to 88% of people with ASD present with sensory processing disorders (SPDs) that impact daily functioning. It is, therefore, essential to be able to accurately assess the sensory processing difficulties of those with ASD. Currently, however, there is no assessment tool available for the Saudi Arabia (SA) population that covers a wide enough age range. Therefore, this study assessed the psychometric properties of the Sensory Processing Measure–Preschool Home Form (SPM-P-Home) when used in English with a population of English-speaking Saudi participants. Methods: Using a convenience sampling approach, caregivers of typically developing (TD) children and caregivers of children with ASD were recruited (n = 40 and n = 16, respectively), and completed the SPM-P-Home. Participants were also invited to complete it again after two weeks in order to assess test–retest reliability, and, respectively, nine and five agreed. Results: Analyses suggested that the measure had good internal consistency, structural validity, test–retest reliability, and construct validity. Conclusion: Until an Arabic version of the SPM-P-Home is available, the English version represents a useful tool for understanding the sensory processing difficulties of ASD Saudi children with English-speaking caregivers.
Improving Kenya's Domestic Horticultural Production and Marketing System: Current Competitiveness, Forces of Change, and Challenges for the Future Volume II: Horticultural Marketing

The specific objectives of this Volume are to: estimate the share of domestic FFV production going to international and domestic markets; determine the share of imports from Tanzania and Uganda in Kenya’s horticultural markets; investigate the competitiveness of Kenya’s horticultural produce in local and regional markets; determine the current and likely future share of key marketing channels in Kenya’s domestic FFV marketing system, especially “modern” channels such as supermarkets and more traditional channels such as open air markets and kiosks; and recommend steps that should be taken to place Kenya’s domestic horticulture in a position to compete favorably in local and regional markets.
Extreme sea levels in the Baltic Sea under climate change scenarios – Part 1: Model validation and sensitivity

Abstract. We analyze extreme sea levels (ESLs) and related uncertainty in an ensemble of regional climate change scenarios for the Baltic Sea. The ERA-40 reanalysis and five Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) global general circulation models (GCMs) have been dynamically downscaled with the coupled atmosphere–ice–ocean model RCA4-NEMO (Rossby Centre regional atmospheric model version 4 – Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean). The 100-year return levels along the Swedish coast in the ERA-40 hindcast are within the 95 % confidence limits of the observational estimates, except those on the west coast. The ensemble mean of the 100-year return levels averaged over the five GCMs shows biases of less than 10 cm. A series of sensitivity studies explores how the choice of different parameterizations, open boundary conditions and atmospheric forcing affects the estimates of 100-year return levels. A small ensemble of different regional climate models (RCMs) forced with ERA-40 shows the highest uncertainty in ESLs in the southwestern Baltic Sea and in the northeastern part of the Bothnian Bay. Some regions like the Skagerrak, Gulf of Finland and Gulf of Riga are sensitive to the choice of the RCM. A second ensemble of one RCM forced with different GCMs uncovers a lower sensitivity of ESLs against the variance introduced by different GCMs. The uncertainty in the estimates of 100-year return levels introduced by GCMs ranges from 20 to 40 cm at different stations and includes the estimates based on observations. It is of similar size to the 95 % confidence limits of 100-year return levels from tide gauge records.

Wireless Smart Shoes for Running Gait Analysis Based on Deep Learning

In this work, we propose a design of wireless smart shoes for running gait analysis. The system is based on an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) protocol to save energy. The estimated parameters include activity type (run/walk/rest), forward distance, and average moving speed. These parameters are calculated and displayed on the user’s smartphone. Different from previous works, IMU data is collected to train a compact neural network model for running gait classification. The performance of model prediction and other measurements is evaluated with a customized database of 600 data segments. Experimental results show that our model achieves a high accuracy of 99.35% on gait classification. Other measures for moving analysis such as the total forward distance and the average speed are retrieved with a low maximum error of less than 4.67% and 4.80% respectively.
Timing of Eating a Novel Multi-science to Manage Metabolic Health

Conventionally, food types, composition, and quantity have been emphasized in affecting human metabolism and health [1]. Time of eating has not received considerations in modern nutritional programs [2]. By definition, tissue nutrient supply may be synchronized with endogenous physiological rhythms to optimize metabolism and health [3]. Food intake patterns affect such physiological rhythms [4-6]. Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus controls such rhythms [7]. Endogenous rhythms are mainly controlled by the SCN via photoperiod [8] (Figure 1). Glucose, cortisol and insulin metabolism are regulated endogenously (Figures 1 and 2). Exogenous rhythms are controlled mostly by external cues, such as feeding timing. Optimal understanding of physiology in any given species requires optimal understanding of comparative animal-human physiology. Optimal animal physiology is understood with optimal perception of ruminant physiology with unique complex splanchnic and peripheral biology [2,9]. Ruminants as irreplaceable human food producers are metabolically and economically suitable theoretical and in several aspects applied models to study cell, organ and whole body physiology. Altering time of feeding alters postprandial rhythms of feed intake, rumen ecology, and peripheral metabolism in once-daily fed dairy cow models [2,4,10-12].
Percutaneous Image-guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Renal Neoplasms: Seven-year Local Experience

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of image-guided radiofrequency ablation of renal neoplasms in our centre in Hong Kong. Methods: Records of all patients who underwent this procedure in our centre from February 2004 to March 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. The indications for non-surgical treatment, individual tumour characteristics, procedural details, complications, and follow-up results were evaluated. Results: Over the study period, seven renal tumours from seven patients were treated with radiofrequency ablation. The most common reasons for non-surgical treatment were comorbidities and anticoagulant-related bleeding diatheses. All the patients were male, and had a mean age of 70 (standard deviation, 10.6) years. Six tumours from six patients were included under the intention-to-cure group; five tumours in this group were small (≤3 cm) and exophytic, while one was large (>3 cm) and parenchymal. One patient with bilateral renal cell carcinomas was included for palliation of haematuria. His 11-cm locally advanced left renal cell carcinoma was ablated. In total, 10 sessions of radiofrequency ablation were performed. Four patients had a single ablation session and three underwent two ablation sessions. Technical success without major complication was achieved in all sessions. There was complete tumour eradication in the entire intention-to-cure group after one (n=4) to two (n=2) ablation sessions. In the patient receiving palliation, radiofrequency ablation transiently aborted his disabling haematuria. Conclusion: Percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency ablation can be a safe and highly effective treatment for small renal tumours in favourable positions. This technique could be regarded as a nephron-sparing treatment for non-surgical candidates. It also has a role in palliation of metastatic or locally advanced disease.
The argumentation structure of research article ‘findings and discussion’ sections written by Non-native English speaker novice writers: a case of Indonesian undergraduate students

ABSTRACT Considering the increasing participation of non-native English speaker (NNES) writers in international publications, the rhetorical organization of their research articles (RAs) keeps receiving ample attention from researchers of English for academic purposes. However, the issue is understudied among NNES novice writers. This study examines the rhetorical organization of academic argumentation in 113 Indonesian English education undergraduate students' iterative findings and discussion sections using a move analysis method. The findings demonstrated that the conformity manifestations of the comments move were exhibited in interpreting results and comparing results with previous literature. The non-conformity manifestations exemplified the limited manifestations of dissimilarities with previous research and the absence of explanation after claims were made. This caused an absence of criticality as the fundamental element of RA writing. Moreover, several grammar-related and idea-related errors occurred in most steps. Hence, recommendations for the pedagogy of English for research publication purposes and future research are presented.
The effect of hip abductor fatigue on static balance and gait parameters

Objective: Hip abductors play a role in providing stability and movement to the lower limbs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of hip abductor fatigue on static balance and gait in the general population. Design: One group pre-test post-test design. Methods: Thirteen university students in their twenties volunteered for the study and had underwent a functional assessment. To induce fatigue, the subjects were instructed to raise their dominant lower extremity up against a load of 50% of 1 repetition maximum while producing hip abduction in a side-lying position. Subjects were instructed to maintain an abduction speed of 30 repetitions per minute to induce fatigue. Muscle fatigue was considered to be established when subjects were unable to perform hip abduction three consecutive times along with the metronome. A post-test of balance and gait was performed immediately in order to prevent fatigue recovery. The center of pressure (COP) distance area was measured using the Zebris FDM-S Multifunction Force measuring plate. Gait performance was analyzed using the GAITRite. Results: The COP distance was increased after fatigue was induced. There was a significant increase in the standard deviation of the medio-lateral and antero-posteror distance (p<0.05). Although there was no significant difference in gait parameters, there was a significant decrease in single support time after fatigue was induced (p<0.05). Conclusions: There was an increase in static balance instability and a significant decrease in single support time during gait due to hip abductor muscle fatigue.
Psychotropic medication-induced sexual dysfunction and its interference with patient′s daily performance: a cross-sectional study

Objectives There are very few studies, especially in the Indian population, addressing the frequency of sexual dysfunction due to psychotropic medications. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the frequency of sexual dysfunction and its interference in the patients′ daily performance in a hospital-based population taking psychotropic medications. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the psychiatric unit of a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in South India over a period of 2 years. The Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser side effect rating scale was used to determine sexual dysfunction. A global assessment of interference in daily performance due to side effects was also evaluated. Results The overall incidence of sexual dysfunction was 20.95%. A higher incidence of sexual dysfunction was observed in women [n = 56 (70.88%)] and in the age group 18-29 years [n = 30 (37.9%)]. Amenorrhea [n = 32 (38.5%)] was the most prominently observed sexual dysfunction, followed by galactorrhea [n = 15 (18.07%)] and decreased sexual desire [n = 14 (16.86%)]. Antipsychotics [n = 54 (65.06%)] constituted the most common class of drug implicated in sexual dysfunction, followed by antidepressants [n = 25 (30.12%)]. Withdrawal of the drug [n = 58 (42%)] was the most common intervention for the management of sexual dysfunction. The majority of reports rated interference in daily performance due to side effects as severe [n = 48 (60.75%)], followed by moderate [n = 26 (32.91%)]. Conclusion The incidence rate of sexual dysfunction was 20.95%. Amenorrhea and galactorrhea were the two most prominent sexual dysfunctions affecting the patients with psychotropic medications. Thus it is important for all healthcare professionals to acknowledge and encourage discussion as well as the impact of drugs on sexual function.
