Antiphase crew rowing on water: a first case study.
Authors: Cuijpers Laura , de Poel Harjo
Published: January 2021

In crew rowing, agents need to mutually coordinate their movements to achieve optimal performance (De Poel, De Brouwer, & Cuijpers, 2016). Traditionally, rowers aim to achieve perfect synchronous (in-phase) coordination. Somewhat counterintuitively, however, crew rowing in an antiphase pattern (i.e., alternating strokes) would actually be mechanically more efficient: it diminishes the within-cycle surge velocity fluctuations of the boat, thereby reducing hydrodynamic drag and hence power losses with 5-6% (Brearly & DeMestre, 1998; De Poel et al., 2016; De Brouwer, De Poel, & Hofmijster, 2013; Cuijpers, Zaal, & De Poel, 2015, Greidanus, Delfos, & Westerweel, 2016). However, from coordination dynamics an antiphase pattern is expected to be less stable, especially at high stroke rates such as in racing, which may even lead to transitions to the more stable in-phase pattern (Haken, Kelso, & Bunz, 1985). Recent laboratory studies in which rower dyads performed antiphase crew coordination on two mechanically coupled ergometers have provided promising results (De Brouwer et al., 2013; De Poel et al., 2016; Cuijpers et al., 2015;). However, counter to ergometer rowing, rowing on-water also requires handling of the oars and boat movements in three dimensions, such as lateral balance and forward speed. Furthermore, the boat has actual forward speed. Therefore, the next step in this endeavour is to examine antiphase crew rowing and associated boat movements on water. Here we report results of the first test case.

Published: January 2021

PurposeWe highlight a number of concerns regarding a recent publication in Perspectives in Psychiatric Care which involves the apparent presentation of three case studies of video game-related suicide. ConclusionsAlthough presented as a case report, the publication falls short of ethical and best-practice standards in the reporting of suicide, and risks confusing the public debate around video games effects. Practice ImplicationsRecommendations on best practice principles for reporting video game research relating to suicide are presented.
Item Desirability Matching in Forced-choice Test Construction
Authors: Pavlov Goran , Shi Dexin , MAYDEU-OLIVARES ALBERTO , Fairchild Amanda
Published: January 2021

The forced-choice method has been proposed as a viable strategy to prevent socially desirable responding (SDR) on self-report non-cognitive measures. The ability of the method to eliminate SDR stems from matching items that are perceived as equally desirable into forced-choice item-blocks. The gold standard in quantifying similarity between items in terms of desirability has been the “mean difference index”, that is, the absolute difference between items’ mean desirability ratings. This index relies on the assumption that items have one true desirability value, as efficiently and unbiasedly estimated by their respective means, and may fail if this assumption does not hold. To circumvent this issue, we propose indexing similarity between items in terms of desirability with several robust measures of absolute agreement (i.e., inter-item agreement indices). Using an empirical example, we show that relying on the mean difference index may lead to suboptimal forced-choice item-block assembly by matching items with a relatively poor inter-item agreement with respect to desirability. R code for computing the proposed agreement indices on a set of desirability ratings is provided, as are recommendations for applied researchers.
We are the Champions. The Index for Evaluating Concentration of Championships Using a Sliding Window Approach
Authors: Simko Ivan
Published: January 2021

The concept of competitive balance is considered to be an essential aspect in the field of sport economics. This work describes a novel approach for measuring and evaluating competitive balance through concentration of championships. The concentration of championships was assessed using a sliding window approach with the length of five consecutive competitions (years) and a single competition (year) increment over the whole evaluated period. Because the sliding window was relatively short, the newly developed index, termed ‘We Are the Champions’ (WAC5), is sensitive to rapid changes in competitive balance. The WAC5 index, average WAC5, expected WAC5, and ΔWAC5 were applied to data from 68 competitions of several individual and team sports collected for the 1960 – 2020 period. The significance of indices was tested by resampling (bootstrapping and permutation). The results of the study show a growth in competitive balance of several ice hockey competitions (national and international), but decreasing competitive balance in Formula 1 racing and in several European soccer competitions. In soccer competitions, there was a substantially lower competitive balance in a league than in a domestic cup competition within each country/federation. The difference between the overall competitive balance in the most popular, North American, professional leagues and the top European soccer leagues is growing. A significant grouping of champions was determined for all sports involving individual athletes, but also for several team competitions.

Covid-19' was originated from the Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and it was also named as 2019-nCoV SARS-CoV-2. The corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly discovered ribonucleic acid virus which is identified from the patients with unexplained pneumonia and severe in acute respiratory syndrome. This Meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effect on pregnancy, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women with Covid-19. This paper is mainly based on secondary data sources. Data has been collected from the reviews of international and national publications, such as journals, reports, articles, and e-resources published in April to November 2020. A formal extraction protocol workflow was used to measure Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P). The findings show that 2099 newborns (including twins) were borned by 2093 pregnant women since the period of Covid-19. The result indicates that more than 74 percent of the pregnant women had given birth by cesarean section due to maternal Covid-19 complications and fetal distress. Most of the pregnant women have the following symptoms of Covid- 19, such as fever, cough, dyspnea, pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, premature delivery, etc; and neonates often have the following symptoms: respiratory distress pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, neonatal death, and Covid-19 positive. This paper concludes that the pregnancy and perinatal outcome of pregnant women and neonates were varied, and their manifestation can range normal, mild, and severe.

Explicitly covariant form of the integral Maxwell equations
Authors: Jiménez J. L. , Monsivais G.
Published: January 2021

It is analyzed in detail the covariance of the integral forms of the Maxwell Equations. Different forms of writing the integral Maxwell equations in explicitly covariant form are analyzed. First we show how one of these ways can be obtained from the differential Maxwell equations, both from their usual three vector form as from their covariant four vector form. Then we discuss how this covariant integral Maxwell equations can be obtained from usual integral Maxwell equations. It is emphasized the necessity to write the usual integral equations without time derivatives. The integrations regions in the three-dimensional space and time are identified with parts of the same hyper-surface in four-dimensional space-time. This point is carefully analyzed.  Later we discuss other forms of the integral Maxwell equations. We show how these new versions can be expressed in an explicitly covariant form.
Behavioural Intention to Use Building Information Modelling (BIM) among Community College Students in Malaysia
Authors: Mohamad Nor Akmal , Khalid Madihah
Published: January 2021

Building information modelling (BIM) is one of the new technologies being used in architectural and constructions projects. At present, BIM curricula are being taught in many Malaysian higher learning institutions, including at the certificate level in community colleges. Even though many studies have investigated behavioural intention to adopt BIM in the industrial setting, studies on the intention to use BIM among students during their training or learning have not received the same level of attention. This study, therefore, investigated the extent to which community college students are willing to accept and use BIM. Factors that influenced their behavioural intention to use BIM, as well as the relationship between the factors and intention to use were also examined. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as the theoretical framework to guide the research, where students’ behavioural intention to use BIM was explained through their perceptions of its usefulness and ease of use, as well as their attitude towards BIM utilization in the classroom. A total of 144 community college students enrolled in the architecture programmes in Malaysia were selected as the sample using convenience sampling. The findings show that the students’ behavioural intention to adopt BIM is high. They also perceive BIM as useful and easy to use, and their attitude towards BIM usage appears to be positive. The regression model produced an adjusted R-squared value of 0.790 indicating that 79% of the total variance in the students’ intention to use BIM can be explained by the three independent variables, i.e., perceived usefulness, ease of use, and attitude.

Influence of Curriculum and Demographic Factors on Somali Students’ Civic Outcomes
Authors: Jama Abdinasir Hersi , Al-Hidabi Dawood A. Y. , Hussien Suhailah , Abdullah Mohamed Ridhuan
Published: January 2021

Somalia is one of the most fiercely divided countries in the world. The people of Somalia face an identity crisis as they have more than one identity (i.e., clan, national, and religious). In addition to this, the development of good Somali citizens is impeded by the absence of a nation to belong to, as there are clan-based states, a lack of clarity as to whether the nation serves the needs of individuals or clans, and an absence of a feeling of obligation towards the nation. These various issues have led to an imperative need to explore how education as a whole and the curriculum, specifically, can build good Somali citizens with a sense of national identity and a participative attitude. Therefore, the current study investigated whether curriculum can be a panacea for the above-mentioned issues. A total of 400 Somali students in their final year of secondary education participated in this study in a cross-sectional survey. The data were analysed using multiple regression analysis. The study found that formal curriculum is a statistically significant contributor to civic development, and is potentially influential in building good citizenship and a national identity in students, hence paving the way for their progressive civic participation in the future. In addition, non-formal curriculum significantly influenced two out of three civic outcomes, i.e., national identity and civic participation. Male and female Somali students differed in their notions of national identity and good citizenship, but demonstrated the same level of or tendency for civic participation. Interestingly, parental education did not exercise any significant influence on any of the civic outcomes. Based on the results, the study recommends that a systematic analysis of the Somali education curriculum be conducted to properly assess the richness and depth of its content in relation to the required standards and coverage of civic education.

The Conceptual Evolution of the Term “Religiosity” in Islamic Thought (Evolusi Konseptual Istilah Keberagamaan (Religiousity) dalam Pemikiran Islam)
Authors: Toure Sekou Marafa
Published: January 2021

Discrepancies in the interpretation of revelation, its application and the adherence to it can be observed among the ranks of Muslim scholars. These differences are a result of the often-obscure gaps between theory and practice, between religious texts and the jurisprudential discretion of the scholars, between actions and those who carry them out, and between one’s understanding and his behaviour. However, questions arise as to whether or not each manifestation of religiosity can be representative of religion, and if every understanding of religion can be portrayed as a form of religiosity. This study aims to explain the difference between religion and religiosity lexically, from the perspective of the connotations of their definitions and the stages the latter has undergone. The researcher will adopt an inductive approach in the study of the interest taken in religiosity throughout history. He will also adopt the analytical approach in the study of whether or not religion and religiosity are the same and in the clarification of the reasons behind the emphasis on religiosity. From among the most important findings of this research is that the concept of religiosity has undergone several temporal phases in Islamic thought and that the current events impacted the focus of the scholars on a particular aspect and perspective of the word.
Keywords: Concept of religiosity, exigencies of faith, Islamic thought.
Abstrak
Perbezaan dalam mentafsir, mengamal dan mematuhi wahyu dapat diperhatikan dalam kalangan pelbagai lapisan ulama Islam. Perbezaan ini muncul disebabkan oleh jurang yang sering tidak jelas antara teori dan amal, antara teks agama dan kebijaksaanaan fiqh para ulama, antara tindakan dan mereka yang melaksanakannya, serta antara kefahaman seseorang individu dengan perlakuannya. Namun, timbul persoalan; adakah setiap manifestasi keberagamaan (kewarakan, ketakwaan, kesalihan) berupaya memanifestasikan agama, dan adakah setiap kefahaman tentang agama dapat dimanifestasikan sebagai suatu bentuk keberagamaan? Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan perbezaan antara agama dan keberagamaan secara leksikal, dari perspektif konotasi definisinya dan peringkat-peringkat yang telah dilalui oleh istilah keberagamaan ini. Pengkaji akan menggunakan pendekatan induktif dalam kajiannya mengenai keberagamaan merentasi sejarah. Pengkaji juga akan mengambil pendekatan analitikal dalam mengkaji sama ada agama dan keberagamaan adalah sama, dan dalam menjelaskan sebab sebalik penekanan yang lebih diberikan kepada keberagamaan. Antara dapatan utama kajian ini adalah bahawa konsep keberagamaan telah melalui beberapa fasa temporal dalam pemikiran Islam, dan peristiwa semasa pada satu-satu masa mempengaruhi fokus para ulama terhadap aspek tertentu dan perspektif perkataan beragama.

Published: January 2021

The objective of this work was to verify the use of semivariogram models and ordinary kriging to characterize and to represent the temporal dependence of the pluvial precipitation and air temperature, by using years and months with coordinates. The observed the forecast data of future scenarios of climatic changes, from 2000 to 2099, of the municipal district of Juiz de Fora – MG, for the pluvial precipitation and air temperature were analyzed. The semivariograms were adjusted by considering isotropy and anisotropy conditions. The wave model presented better adjustment than the Gaussian and spherical models when the two-dimensional grid was used. The structure and the magnitude of temporal dependence of the two variables were characterized by considering the 0º (months) and 90º (years) directions. The pattern of the temporal variability of the precipitation and the air temperature was represented by using kriging. Possible changes in the patterns of the pluvial precipitation and the air temperature for the future scenarios were verified by using a two-dimensional grid and kriging. The greatest changes in the pattern of the two variables were verified in the most pessimist future scenario.

Authors: De Souz Alexandra
Published: January 2021

Understanding the physiology and behavior of species is of great importance for ex situ reproduction, so the objective of this research was to identify the onset of puberty in males of the species Herpailurus yagouaroundi and Leopardus guttulus in a non-invasive approach using data obtained from the fecal androgens, as well as checking the effectiveness of a commercial Testosterone kit (EIA DRG-1559®) for identifying fecal androgen variations. Fecal samples from captive males of H. yagouaroundi (n=2) at the UNISEP Zoo, Dois Vizinhos - PR, and at the Municipal Zoo, Cascavel - PR and L. guttulus (n=1) captive at the Bela Vista Biological Refuge, from Itaipu Binacional, Foz do Iguaçu - PR. Fecal samples were kept in a freezer at -20ºC until processed. For the determination of fecal androgens, samples underwent a dehydration process at 80ºC for 72 h, then they were ground and sieved, 0.20 g of sample was removed and added 5 mL of methanol 90%, then it was shaken for 15 minutes and centrifuged for another 15 minutes, at the end 2 mL of the supernatant was collected to measure the extracted androgens. For dosing, a 1:4 dilution was performed in pink PBS and the enzyme immunoassay technique was performed using the Testosterone Kit (EIA-1559®, DRG - USA) with reading on ELISA plate reader (Biotek ELISA ELx800, fabricated in Winooski - the USA). The identification of fecal androgen variations occurred through graphs where increasing concentrations (mean + 1.5 standard deviations) were observed. The use of the commercial kit (DRG Testosterone EIA-1559®) was effective in detecting androgen variations in fecal samples of H. yagouaroundi and L. guttulus, allowing non-invasive endocrine monitoring. It was possible to identify peaks in the three graphs that represent the evaluated animals, indicating that they all started to increase fecal androgen excretion between 10 and 12 months old, which is consistent with the literature regarding domestic cats, which can be used as a basis of comparison, considering the size of these felid species, characterizing the beginning of puberty.

Published: January 2021

Mandibular fractures are common in small animal surgery and their relevance is directly linked to the functional importance of this bone. They usually result from injuries resulting from being run over, falling, and fighting, with the highest incidence between the first premolar and the second molar. The goal of treating jaw fractures will be to return to normal function with perfect or satisfactory dental occlusion so that the animal can return to eating normally. At the veterinary clinic Zoodonto, a canine species, female, SRD, with three years of age, weighing 18.4 kg, presenting dental malocclusion due to consolidated bilateral fracture of the mandible body, between the 1st and 2nd lower molars between the 1st and 2nd left lower premolars. The surgical technique used was a fracture of bone calluses with chisel and hammer, repositioning of the jaw, and fixation with steel wire using the non-invasive technique of bonding and acrylic resin bisacrylate. Knowledge of the type, frequency, and therapies used in mandibular fractures is of fundamental importance for a veterinary clinic. It is necessary to improve the techniques for fixing, correcting, and stabilizing fractures that occur with a greater incidence, thus increasing efficiency in their treatment and not only the investment in research of new materials and technologies that overcome the limitations of therapeutic models. In this sense, this work aims to report a case of mandibular fracture in which the technique of tying up culminated in an adequate bone stabilization and consolidation.

Published: January 2021

Biosafety is a set of measures that aim to prevent, minimize, or eliminate risks intrinsic to professional practice, thus ensuring the preservation of the environment, the health of man and animals. Veterinarians, as well as other health professionals, must know and apply these measures, protecting themselves from the risks inherent to their profession and, consequently, protecting the population. In the veterinary clinical pathology lab, numerous activities with a potential capacity to generate accidents are observed, from occupational risks knowing as occupational diseases to exposure to chemical and biological agents, putting the health of these professionals and the environment integrity daily at risk. Therefore, suitable biosafety measures must be taken to minimize these risks. Thus, this work aims to make a bibliographic review on the main biosafety measures applicable to the area, alerting veterinarians about the importance of its application in their work environment.

One dog, female, poodle, 8 years old, presented the main complaint of ulcerated lesion in the nasal plane, with evolution of approximately six months. The animal was submitted to anesthesia to remove the 0.5 cm diameter nodule. The material was sent for routine histopathological examination with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Histopathological examination showed a nodular mass, with ill-defined edges, consisting of rounded cells of sparse cytoplasm and condensed nuclear chromatin that extended from the superficial dermis and dissected part of the epidermis. These cells had a high pleomorphism pattern and a high nucleus: cytoplasm ratio. Intermingling the stroma, a large number of vascular structures were observed, ranging from the basal surface to the superficial dermis. Immunohistochemical examination revealed strong marking for the main MHCII histocompatibility complex that strongly stains lymphocytes and histiocytes that correspond to the tumoral and proliferative structure of the tumor's neoplastic cells. Histiocytic tumors as well as histiocytomas are relatively common in young dogs and fibrous histiocytomas are more rarely diagnosed in dogs, occurring more commonly in humans. In this report, the pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics that allowed the diagnosis are described, enabling the differentiation between non-fibrotic histiocytomas and other common canine neoplasms.

Penggunaan pelumas meningkat seiring berkembangnya mesin yang digunakan, namun daur ulang pelumas bekas masih belum optimal. Penelitian kali ini akan dilakukan pengujian pada burner yang menggunakan oli bekas sebagai bahan bakar, dengan pemanasan awal pada oli bekas yang bertujuan untuk memudahkan proses pembakaran burner, selain itu akan dilakukan eksperimen mengenai kecepatan udara dan debit bahan bakar terhadap temperatur, panjang lidah api, dan waktu pembakaran. Pengujian dilakukan dengan variasi kecepatan udara 2,0 m/s, 2,2 m/s, dan 2,4 m/s dengan debit bahan bakar 1,7 x 10-7 m3/s, 2,4 x 10-7 m3/s, dan 4,8 x 10-7 m3/s. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa kecepatan udara yang semakin besar berpengaruh pada peningkatan temperatur, dan panjang lidah api. Sedangkan waktu pembakaran menjadi semakin cepat seiring besarnya kecepatan udara. Serta semakin besar debit aliran berpengaruh pada peningkatan temperatur dan panjang lidah api, namun tidak berpengaruh pada kenaikan waktu pembakaran.

The article shows that normative masculinity, i.e. the dominant image of the «real man» in modern public consciousness, became a natural consequence of the practical realization of the enlightenment ideals of secular humanism. According to it, the engine of social progress can only be men who, due to their natural tendency to rationality, can and should dominate all manifestations of feminine in the broadest sense of the word. Accordingly, the formation of a man has been taking place in a harsh homosexual environment, through opposition to everything feminine and domination over it. This openly anti-female program for the development of masculinity has become a significant obstacle not only to the social self-realization of women, the establishment of gender and social equality, but has also led to open oppression of those men who have not me the basic regulations. Normative masculinity proved to be no less pernicious for «real men» who, in the process of constantly confirming their masculinity, have devalued those universal qualities which, according to the prevailing enlightenment ideals, have been traditionally considered feminine. Public romanticization of this idea, especially in transitive societies, leads to mental and, with it, physical mutilation of men.

A child’s play is critical to whole child development. However, literature related to how traditional games and unstructured free play is limited. This study investigated if traditional games and free play could influence the motor skills of preschool children. One hundred and ninety-two children (Traditional Group: n = 114, M age = 4.5 & Play Group: n = 78, M age: 4.7) were recruited. Traditional Group played five types of traditional games while Play Group had free play over 20 sessions in 5 weeks. The MABC-2 was used to assess their motor skills. Data were analysed in three groups: All, performing 30 and Underperforming 30. The results showed that all participants made significant improvements in balance and overall motor skills with either traditional games or free play. Within the Performing 30 category, the Traditional Group performed significantly better in manual dexterity and overall motor skills as compared with the Play Group. However, both groups improved significantly in manual dexterity, balance abilities and overall motor skills within the Underperforming 30 category. This suggested that irrespective of structured traditional games or unstructured free play, child’s play has positive benefits on the development of motor skills especially for children with poorer motor skills.
Legal responsibility in an entangled world
Authors: Eckert Julia , Knöpfel Laura
Published: January 2021

Responsibility and accountability in entangled global relations are negotiated across jurisdictional boundaries, localities and scales of legality. In this special issue, we trace struggles for corporate accountability from extraction sites in Ecuador, Colombia and Peru to an abandoned asbestos factory in Italy. We enquire into the gap between the legal institutions which govern attributions of responsibility in procedural, tort and corporate laws, lived experiences of harm connected to transnational business activities and moral expectations of responsibility in global relations. In the struggles for justice discussed in this special issue, we detect potential ways of rethinking ascriptions of responsibility to reflect the deep entanglements of our economies.
CSR and the Public/Private Divide
Authors: Kampourakis Ioannis
Published: January 2021

Ellen Hertz’s manifold critique of corporate social responsibility (CSR) paradoxically begins by establishing common ground with the ardent defender of free market capitalism and an otherwise political opponent to her normative framework, Milton Friedman. Building on his analytical framework, according to which corporations and government operate on different principles, Hertz reinforces the idea that CSR cannot and should not replace democratic mechanisms in the determination of the public interest. In addition, following established critiques of CSR (e.g., Shamir 2008), Hertz highlights that CSR introduces the logics of the market in areas traditionally governed by different logics of action, while it also serves to obfuscate relations of power and to shape global governance in corporate-friendly directions.

Authors: Yelinska A.M.
Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of methodical approach to teaching the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia" at the Department of Pathophysiology. Module 2 "Pathophysiology of organs and systems" begins with the study of the submodule "Pathophysiology of the blood system" for all students studiing specialties 222 "Medicine", 228 "Pediatrics" and 221 "Dentistry". One of the most difficult topics for students to understand is the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia". Pathophysiology is a science that studies the vital activity of a sick organism. Pathophysiology occupies one of the leading places in the system of scientific and theoretical training of a doctor. The doctor should interpret the basic concepts of general nosology, interpret the causes, mechanisms of development and manifestations of typical pathological processes and the most common diseases, analyze, draw conclusions regarding the causes and mechanisms of functional, metabolic, structural disorders of organs and body systems in diseases. The study of the mechanisms of leukocytosis is 50% of the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia". The other 50 percent of the time is devoted to studying the mechanisms of leukopenia. When considering the mechanisms of neutropenia, special attention should be paid to the pathogenesis of hereditary neutropenia. Because this issue is especially relevant for students majoring in 228 "Pediatrics" and specialty 221 "Dentistry" in the context of the treatment of dental diseases in childhood. The purpose of this work is to analyze the difficulties encountered by students in studying the topic "Leukocytosis and leukopenia" and the development of methodological approaches to their elimination.
