Electromyographic activity of the vastus medialis obliques and vastus lateralis longus muscles during squat with isometric hip adduction in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome and healthy athletes

Background and Objective: Patellofemoral is a pain syndrome, common among athletes and the theraputic regiment based on the improvement of muscle involved in this disorder. This study was done to compare electromyography activity of the vastus medialis obliques and vastus lateralis longus during squat with isometric hip adduction in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome and healthy athletes. Materials and Methods: This case – control study was carried out on 16 national team male athletes (volleyball, handball and taekwondo) aged 30-18 years with patellofemoral pain syndrome and 16 healthy male athletes. Subjects were matched based on weight, height, age, dominant of lower extremity and voluntarily participated. Electromyography activity of vastus medialis obliques and vastus lateralis longus muscles recorded by surface electrodes at 15, 30 and 45 knee flexion degrees. Paired t test was used to compare electromyography activities in each group and One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test was used to compare each muscle in different angles. Results: There was significant differences in the activity of vastus medialis obliques and vastus lateralis longus muscles in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome at 45 knee flexion degree (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the muscle activities in healthy athletes at none of the knee flexion degrees. There were significant differences in the activity of vastus medialis obliques (P<0.05) and vastus lateralis longus (P<0.05) muscles at 45 degrees in comparison with muscle activities in each group in knee flexion degrees. Conclusion: Electromyography activity of the vastus medialis obliques in healthy athletes during squat with isometric hip adduction at 45 knee flextion is greater than other degrees and in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome is greater than healthy athletes.
Notational Analysis of Elite Men's Water Polo Related to Specific Margins of Victory.

The present study aimed to analyze the water polo matches of the men's World Championships, comparing technical and tactical aspects of winning and losing teams, during closed (≤ 3 goals of margin of victory at the end of the 4(th) quarter; winning, W; losing, L) and unbalanced (>3 goals; winning, MW; losing, ML) games. Therefore, 42 of the 48 (6 were draw at end of the 4(th) quarter) matches were considered. According to each game situation (i.e., even, counterattack, power-play, transition), a notational analysis was performed in relation to the following aspects: occurrence of actions, action outcome, execution and origin of shots, and mean duration. In addition, the occurrence of the offensive (and role) and defensive arrangements of even and power-play were analyzed. To show differences (p < 0.05) in terms of margin of victory, an analysis of variance was applied. Although ML (74 ± 11%) performed more even actions than W (68 ± 7%) and MW (69 ± 6%), the latter teams (W = 9 ± 6%; MW = 13 ± 6%) performed more counterattacks than L (3 ± 2%) and ML (5 ± 5%). Power-play is more played during closed (W = 20 ± 3%; L = 22 ± 3%) than unbalanced games (MW = 17 ± 4%; ML = 16 ± 7%). Moreover, differences in terms of margin of victory emerged for mean duration (even, power-play, transition), action outcome (even, power-play), zone origin (even, counterattack, power-play) and technical execution (even, power-play) of shots, and even and power-play offensive (and role) and defensive arrangements. Divergences mainly emerged between closed and unbalanced games, highlighting that the water polo matches of the men's World Championships need to be analyzed either considering the winning and losing outcome of match and specific margins of victory. Thus, coaches can advance their knowledge, considering that closed and unbalanced games are largely characterized by the opponent's exclusion fouls to perform power-play actions, and by a divergent grade of defensive skills regardless of game situation, respectively. Key pointsThe water polo matches of the men's World Championships need to be analyzed considering successful/unsuccessful teams as well as specific margins of victory.Closed matches are mainly characterized by a high occurrence of the opponent's exclusion fouls to perform the power-play actions.For the unbalanced matches, a divergent grade of defensive skills between teams has been highlighted.Coaches can improve their training, considering the opponent's exclusion fouls to perform the power-play actions towards a closed match, and caring the defensive skills of each game situation towards an unbalanced match.
Error Correction to Decode Mainstream Logic Design by Using EG-LDPC Codes

Euclidean Geometry LDPC (EG-LDPC) codes — enable dynamic changes in level of fault tolerance. EG-LDPC codes enables us to dynamically adjust the error correcting capacity for improved system performance apart from the high error correcting capability as well as sparsity. Memories are typically protected with error correction codes to prevent soft errors from causing data corruption. The MLD codes are used for memory application as because of correcting large number of soft errors, less decoding time, area consumption,etc. But Majority logic decoding can be implemented serially with simple hardware but requires a large decoding time compared to difference set low density parity check codes. The combined method of MLD with EG-LDPC detects whether a word has errors in the first iterations of majority logic decoding, and when there are no errors the decoding ends without completing the rest of the iterations.
 
Keywords: Error correction codes; Euclidean geometry low-density parity check (EG-LDPC) codes; majority logic decoding(MLD).

Handheld Optical System for Skin Topography Measurement Using Fourier Transform Profilometry

In medicine and cosmetics a need has arisen for an accurate, fast, simple and broadly applicable three-dimensional skin surface measuring system. A new development of such handheld optical device that uses white light Fourier transform profilometry for skin surface topography measurement is presented here. The device is based on a commercially available DSLR camera and a newly designed optical system which projects a Ronchi grating pattern on the measured surface and records its image. The 3D surface is reconstructed from a single image. The topography is described using four surface roughness parameters: mean absolute deviation Ra, root-mean-square deviation Rq skewness Rsk and kurtosis Rku. Experimental measurements were conducted on five facial skin areas, together belonging to three people, before and after the laser skin treatment therapy, to evaluate its effects on skin surface roughness. The results show the viability and usefulness of the developed optical system for skin topography measurement.
How Effective Is the BTUN-Diagram in the Evaluation of Territorial Unification Negotiations: The Case of China-Taiwan Territorial Unification

This article evaluates the effectiveness of the Box Territorial Unification Negotiation Diagram (BTUN-Diagram) in the evaluation of any territorial unification negotiation between two or more territories anywhere and anytime. We used the BTUN-Diagram to evaluate the possible unification of China and Taiwan as it provides a much deeper analysis and interpretation of what unification of the two territories entail. The BTUN-Diagram extends the study of territorial unification beyond the common economic implication of unification as observed in many studies by widening the scope of the study through a multidisciplinary approach. Given the huge gaps that exist in the China-Taiwan unification drawn from our analysis, we observed more divergence than convergence given the huge cost likely to be borne by a unifying party. We suggest very serious and purposeful negotiations could bring about trade-offs that may institute an equilibrium point in the territorial unification negotiation.
Food iq.  eat out knowledge on european researchers? night 2021

Food for Thought is a project that promotes science and scientists around the topic of healthy food in an interactive, accessible and innovative way. Our main goal is to teach residents of the Northern Netherlands, of all ages, more about healthy food, the impact of science on public health and about researchers and their profession. The project exists of three parts:

Main event: Aletta’s Kitchen
Aletta’s Kitchen is an entertaining and educational show designed to involve researchers and the audience to build a bridge between these two worlds. Named after a renowned Dutch persona of the medical field, Aletta Jacobs, the show invites multidisciplinary researchers to share their research findings connected to the topic of Food for Thought. Two different shows will be created; one as part of the education programme and one for adult residents of the region.

Pre-event: Education program
Our education program will teach children not only about food but also about the science of it. It is important that children know that food takes time to grow, that milk comes from a cow and a tomato grows on a plant. But also what their own food environment looks like and what food does in the body. As part of the program researchers will visit the schools to talk about their knowledge and research regarding the topic. By bringing researchers closer to the children we increase their awareness of research, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on their daily life and to encourage the pupils to embark on research careers. 

Installation 
An interactive installation facilitates accessible encounters between public health researchers and other residents of the Northern Netherlands. The visitor will gain insight into the process of knowledge development and the role of science in everyday life. Moreover, the visitor experiences how he/she can - directly or indirectly - take more control of her own health and the people around her.
Territorial trends of the management of the natural heritage

Natural heritage is an essential asset of each region and country. The value of (bio)diversity has been largely recognized by EU policies. Such a heritage must certainly be preserved from hazards, but also creatively managed to reach a condition of sustainable development. New forms of development must be found to assure synergy and co-existence of human activities and actions affecting the natural heritage.

According to the European Landscape Convention, adopted on 20 October 2000 in co-operation with the Council of Europe, the landscape contributes to the formation of local culture and is a basic component of the European natural and cultural heritage, promoting the consolidation of the European identity. Landscape is an important part of the quality of life of different areas of the European continent. However, development within many sectors of activity accelerates the use and transformation of landscapes. Natural heritage is however increasingly considered an asset and a development potential in the economic development of cities and larger territories. The location of new investments is progressively taking factors of qualities in the surrounding areas into account, such access to beautiful landscapes and sites during leisure time. This brings extra focus and potential synergy to the management of the natural heritage.
Hunter-Gatherer adaptations in northern iberian refugia from the last glacial maximum to the mesolithic: a multi-proxy climatic investigation.

CLIMPROX uses a ground breaking multi-proxy methodology integrating isotopic analysis of ungulates and archaeozooological reappraisal with a additional climatic proxies (pollen, sediments, anthracology, and microfauna) to understand human responses to palaeoenvironmental change over 21 to 7 uncal. ka BP, a crucial period in human evolution. CLIMAPROX explores the role of the environment and climate in the migration of people into the refugia of the Cantabrian region, the flourishing of Upper Palaeolithic societies, and in the subsequent dietary diversification at the end of the Last Glacial period that lay the foundation for the origins of farming in Europe. The multiple scientific datasets, regional and temporal scale of the analysis make CLIMAPROX highly innovative, acting as a case method for future research investigating human-environment interactions across the globe. This project will therefore have a high scientific impact not only in Iberian archaeology, but within the field of European Palaeolithic research, and bioarchaeological, contributing to pertinent discourse into human-environment interactions.
¡UNA APUESTA CREATIVA! La competitividad y el bienestar de Pohjos-Savo

La importancia de las industrias creativas para los medios de vida, el atractivo y el confort de las regiones ha estado presente en el norte de Savo durante 20 años. A nivel nacional, el desarrollo del sector ha estado sujeto a grandes expectativas económicas, pero hasta ahora no se han cumplido plenamente. Esto se debe, por ejemplo, al hecho de que los sistemas creados para apoyar la producción de bienes industriales no han podido tener suficientemente en cuenta las oportunidades inherentes a la creatividad y la cultura y las necesidades de desarrollo de las industrias que los representan. En Finlandia, las regiones invierten en las industrias creativas, artísticas y culturales de diferentes maneras. Según el informe del proyecto Finlandia Creativa e Inclusiva en el norte de Savo, la financiación de la UE para el sector ha sido de alrededor de la mitad del nivel medio nacional para el período 2014-2020, es decir, solo el 2,2 %. El objetivo del proyecto es establecer un programa provincial de desarrollo para las industrias creativas, las artes y la cultura y llevar a cabo experimentos para aumentar las empresas y el empleo en el sector creativo, aumentar la cooperación y mejorar las condiciones de funcionamiento en el norte de Savo. La región necesita estructuras de apoyo provinciales y cooperación multifuncional, que aumenta la importancia económica regional de los sectores creativo y cultural, aumenta la actividad internacional, mejora la disponibilidad de servicios de bienestar social y se percibe que la provincia es atractiva tanto para las empresas como para los residentes. En el norte de Savo se necesitan más empresas creativas para acelerar el crecimiento y la internacionalización de la economía creativa. Las empresas de crecimiento creativo y otros agentes del sector deben recibir apoyo, por ejemplo, de las actividades de aceleración e intermediación de las industrias creativas.
La ferme du Bas-de-la-Baie, 1673-1759 : contribution zooarchéologique à l'étude des sites ruraux

This Master's thesis presents the results of a zooarchaeological study based on two occupations of a single site dating to the beginning of the colonization of Baie-Saint-Paul (17th-18th centuries). An analysis of the faunal assemblage, a total of 1175 animal bones, has shown the opposite characters of the occupations. The tar makers' habitation site reveals the exploitation of wild ressources to make up for deficient animal rearing, as well as the skinning of wild game to provide a supplementary income through the fur trade. The farm established by the Seminaire de Quebec reveals an alimentation based on farm produce, augmented by the hunting of wild species from the immediate environment. The zooarchaeological study of the Bas-de-la-Baie farm site also confirms the central role of breeding for rural sites in the St. Lawrence Valley, while underlining their diversity, in which farming, hunting and fishin played complementary roles.
Advanced manufacturing though data analytics and intelligent insights

Modern factories are unnecessarily inefficient. A typical factory operates at only 66% productivity , which can cost industrial manufacturers an estimated $50 billion annually. Factories are wasting energy, water and raw materials, while simultaneously contributing 56% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With the rise of Industry 4.0, factory owners have begun equipping their facilities with sensors to collect production data across all kinds of assets. Unfortunately, these same factories are not prepared to utilize these massive amounts of data for smarter and sustainable operations and hence manual analysis is impossible. Modern factories need a solution which can easily integrate with their existing data acquisition systems and identify bottlenecks in the production process without requiring expert intervention. Intelecy is a web-based software product for predictive analytics and process optimization made specifically to harness the value of industrial IoT
data for manufacturers. Created in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2017. Intelecy is an off-the-shelf advanced AI SaaS tool for manufacturing data analytics. At Intelecy’s core operates an extensive library of machine learning algorithms specialized for industrial multivariate asynchronous time series data. We have purchased these algorithms from NTNU, making them our unique and exclusive property which cannot be easily replicated
by anyone else. for successful commercialization, we must create market awareness, analyze competition, and invest money in maturation of Intelecy. By achieving these objectives, Intelecy will generate revenue of 471 million euros and 450 new jobs by 2025.
Era-Net on advanced manufacturing technologies

Europe is facing major economic challenges that require an ambitious economic policy for the 21st century. The EU has set out its vision for Europe's social market economy in the Europe 2020 strategy, which aims at confronting our structural weaknesses through progress in three mutually reinforcing priorities :
• smart growth, based on knowledge and innovation,
• sustainable growth, promoting a more resource efficient, greener and competitive economy,
• inclusive growth, fostering a high employment economy delivering economic, social and territorial cohesion.
MANUNET III, as a continuation of MANUNET II, is aligned with the European priorities and pretends to create a smart sustainable growth in the European manufacturing sector by coordinating the research and innovation efforts in the field of advanced manufacturing with a special focus in the key areas of new production processes, adaptive manufacturing systems and technologies for the factory of the future.
The project will also reinforce the territorial cohesion through an extended collaboration network. The consortium pretends to respond to the actual economic crisis by promoting the transnational research, innovation and entrepreneurship in the industrial sector, especially in the SMEs, which are the backbone of Europe's economy.
Through this strategic and integrated approach to innovation in advanced manufacturing, MANUNET III pretends to maximise European, national and regional research and innovation potential.
Connected – autonomous – vehicles orchestrated with intelligent decisions

Connected Vehicles (CVs) represent a potentially disruptive yet beneficial change to our transportation systems. Wireless communication capabilities on vehicles enable a better understanding of the environment complementing on-board sensors and increase the potentials of autonomous vehicles. For this reason, communication among vehicles has always played an important role in safety applications and an extended body of research is present on, e.g., collision avoidance or autonomous vehicles coordination. Almost all state-of-the-art approaches take for granted the wireless link, ignoring the communication load and the processing latency that such algorithms may imply. Furthermore, state-of-the-art coordination algorithms rely on very strong assumptions, e.g., the exact knowledge of the position of the vehicles in the system. C-AVOID aims at filling these gaps, building a realistic framework that exploits a specific wireless technology, i.e., the new generation of cellular networks (5G). 5G shows undeniable potential for transportation systems thanks to (i) low end-to-end latency; (ii) edge computational capabilities of the Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) platform. Prompt and detailed information based on the direct feedback of connected cars allows to create a profile of typical driver maneuvers and decisions and of localization uncertainties, representing the building block of the new safety applications presented in C-AVOID. Processing latency and communication load will be taken into account through a MEC-enable hardware-in-the-loop simulator, and event-triggering communication will be proposed to counterattack possible application requirement violations.
C-AVOID will be carried out by the Experienced Researcher (ER), which has extensive familiarity with networking performance evaluation and system optimization. The ER will collaborate with supervisor Prof. Ellinas, which experience in Telco systems and patent procedures ensure the overall success of this action.
Chromosome classification for metaphase selection

Identification of good metaphase spread is an important step in chromosome analysis for genetic disorder detection. In this paper, we propose a rule for chromosome classification to identify good metaphase spreads. The chromosome shapes were classified into four main classes. The first and the second classes refer to individual chromosomes with straight and bended shapes, respectively. The third class is characterized as those chromosomes with overlapping bodies and the forth class is for the non-chromosomal artifacts. Good metaphase spreads should largely contain the first and the second classes while the number of the third class should be kept minimal. Several image parameters were examined and used for creating rule-based classification. The threshold value for each parameter is determined using statistical model. We observed that the empirical probability density function of the parameters can be represented by Gaussian model and, hence, the threshold value can be easily determined. The proposed rules can efficiently and accurately classify the individual chromosome with > 90% accuracy.
