Intertextual Links of Johann Ferdinand Kelch’s poem Lietuvininkai: Christian Gottlieb Mielcke’s Poem Pilkainis
Authors: Sidabraitė Žavinta
Published: January 2025

Johann Ferdinand Kelch’s (Lith. Johanas Ferdinandas Kelkis, 1801–1877) poem Lietuvininkai (Prussian Lithuanians), composed in the second half of the nineteenth century, was first published in the monthly magazine Saulėteka (Sunrise, Nos 8–9, 1900), edited by Martynas Jankus (1858–1946) and printed in his print shop. It is a 472-line historical poem written in a four-line cross-rhymed iamb.
The first historical poem in Lithuanian – Pilkainis by Christian Gottlieb Mielcke (Lith. Kristijonas Gottlybas Milkus, 1733–1807), printed in the early nineteenth century – inspired Johann Ferdinand Kelch to write his own historical poem Lietuvininkai. Kelch’s decision to build on and interpret his predecessor in his own way was a natural one: this was due to the issues of national and religious identity, which had become highly relevant in the socio-cultural context of mid-nineteenth-century Prussian Lithuania. The intertextuality of Lietuvininkai should not be seen as a literary method consciously chosen by the author but as a kind of unfolding of the collective subconscious.
Mielcke based his poem on the rationalist model of historical development that had gained a foothold in the Age of Enlightenment. Kelch built the story of the Prussian Lithuanians on a religious narrative of history. By tracing the ancestry of the Prussian Lithuanians back to the descendants of the biblical Noah, he seemed to try to inculcate Christianity into the ancestors of the old Balts and at the same time to suppress the memories of historical injustice, which had been reawakened by the Germanisation that had intensified in the mid-nineteenth century. Mielcke’s poem became a suitable model, which, when followed, supplemented, and adjusted, made it possible to rethink the most dramatic period of the nation’s history, to strongly suggest that Christianisation of the Prussian Lithuanians was God’s intended plan, and that having won eternal salvation, one should not really regret the loss of national greatness. The Germans, who brought Christianity to Prussian Lithuania, replaced the descendants of the Lithuanians who had once come to the region. A natural civilisational change took place: some newcomers had replaced others. In his poem, Kelch abandons Mielcke’s optimistic idea of an equal partnership between the two nations.
Kelch borrowed the theme, the plot, and the rhyme scheme from Mielcke and incorporated textual interpolations into his poem. The fact that he took note of, adopted, and developed the most artistic episodes of Mielcke’s otherwise artistically less strong poem shows that he had a good philological ear. Kelch’s act of re-reading and reinterpreting Mielcke’s poem is unparalleled in nineteenth-century Lithuanian literature. It is a unique artistic experiment that not only imparted additional depth (the perceptual vertical) to Kelch’s poem, but also actualised the source that inspired the creative act in the cultural memory of the nation – Christian Gottlieb Mielcke’s poem Pilkainis.

Abstract: Energy is essential for the growth and improved livelihood of any nation. Nigeria, though blessed with abundance of oil and gas, and has good land mass and natural resources for renewable energy, struggles with energy delivery. Many industries have shut down due to high energy cost or unavailability of the energy required to support their operations. Through critical review of existing studies on the Nigerian energy delivery, this study identified that the Nigerian energy challenges stem from infrastructural issues, environmental degradation, inconsistent government policies, poor regulatory framework and limited investments in renewable energy. However, the challenges can be mitigated if there is renewed policy thrust by the Nigerian government, energy incentives, stakeholders’ involvement in decision-making in the sector and diversification of public power supply into renewable energy. As much as Nigeria still struggles with energy delivery from crude oil and gas, it is obvious that the future of energy delivery in Nigeria lies in resort to renewable energy sources.

Causes of growing middle-to-upper tropospheric ozone over the northwest Pacific region

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Long-term ozone (O3) changes in the middle-to-upper troposphere are critical to climate radiative forcing and tropospheric O3 pollution. Yet, these changes remain poorly quantified through observations in East Asia. Concerns also persist regarding the data quality of the ozonesondes available at the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) for this region. This study aims to address these gaps by analyzing O3 soundings at four sites along the northwestern Pacific coastal region over the past 3 decades and by assessing their consistency with an atmospheric chemistry–climate model simulation. Utilizing the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Hamburg (ECHAM)/Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) nudged simulations, it is demonstrated that trends between model and ozonesonde measurements are overall consistent, thereby gaining confidence in the model's ability to simulate O3 trends and confirming the utility of potentially imperfect observational data. A notable increase in O3 mixing ratio around 0.29–0.82 ppb a−1 extending from the middle troposphere to the upper troposphere is observed in both observations and model simulations between 1990 and 2020, primarily during spring and summer. The timing of these O3 tongues is delayed when moving from south to north along the measurement sites, transitioning from late spring to summer. Investigation into the drivers of these trends using tagged model tracers reveals that O3 of stratospheric origin (O3S) dominates the absolute O3 mixing ratios over the middle-to-upper troposphere in the subtropics, contributing to the observed O3 increases by up to 96 % (40 %) during winter (summer), whereas O3 of tropospheric origin (O3T) governs the absolute value throughout the tropical troposphere and contributes generally much more than 60 % to the positive O3 changes, especially during summer and autumn. During winter and spring, a decrease in O3S is partly counterbalanced by an increase in O3T in the tropical troposphere. This study highlights that the enhanced downward transport of stratospheric O3 into the troposphere in the subtropics and a surge of tropospheric O3 in the tropics are the two key factors driving the enhancement of O3 in the middle-to-upper troposphere along the northwest Pacific region.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Accurate observations of atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles are essential for weather forecasting and climate change detection. Hyperspectral radiance measurements afford a useful means to retrieve these thermodynamic variable fields by harnessing the rich information contained in the electromagnetic wave spectrum of the atmospheric radiation. In contrast to infrared radiometry, microwave radiometry can penetrate clouds, making it a valuable tool for all-sky thermodynamic retrievals. Recent advancements have led to the fabrication of a hyperspectral microwave radiometer: the High Spectral Resolution Airborne Microwave Sounder (HiSRAMS). This study utilizes HiSRAMS to retrieve atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles under clear-sky conditions; this is an initial assessment of one of the first hyperspectral microwave radiometers, comparing the results to those from an infrared hyperspectrometer, the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI). HiSRAMS and AERI measurements under different viewing geometries have been acquired and compared for atmospheric retrieval. When both instruments are placed on the ground to acquire zenith-pointing measurements, the infrared hyperspectral measurements exhibit higher information content and greater vertical resolution for temperature and water vapor retrievals than the microwave hyperspectral measurements. A synergistic fusion of HiSRAMS and AERI measurements from the air and ground is tested. This “sandwich” sounding of the atmosphere takes advantage of the complementary information contents of the two instruments and is found to notably improve retrieval accuracy.
Technical Note: Streamflow Seasonality using Directional Statistics
Authors: Berghuijs Wouter R. , Hale Kate , Beria Harsh
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Hydrological fluxes typically vary across seasons, with several existing metrics available to characterize their seasonality. These metrics are beneficial when many catchments across diverse climates and landscapes are studied concurrently. Here, we present directional statistics to characterize streamflow seasonality, capturing the timing of streamflow (center of mass) and the strength of its seasonal cycle (concentration). We show that directional statistics is mathematically more robust than several widely used metrics to quantify streamflow seasonality. We extend the application of directional statistics to analyse seasonality in other hydrological fluxes, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and snowmelt, and we introduce a trend analysis framework for both the timing and strength of seasonal cycles. Using an Alpine catchment (Dischma, Switzerland) as a testbed for this methodology, we identify a shift in the streamflow center of mass to earlier in the year and a weakening of the seasonal cycle. Additionally, we apply directional statistics to streamflow data from 11,118 European catchments, highlighting its utility for large-scale hydrological analyses. The introduced metrics, leveraging directional statistics, can improve our understanding of streamflow seasonality and associated changes, and can also be used to study the seasonality of other environmental fluxes, within and beyond hydrology.
Characterization of Northwest African Coastal Upwelling Systems

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Coastal upwellings are critical for nutrient supply, biological productivity, socio-economic activities, local weather patterns and regional climate variability. This study investigated characteristics of the Northwest African coastal upwelling system, including the Senegal-Mauritania and Gulf of Guinea coastal upwelling regions. The spatial and temporal variability were analysed using physical and biogeochemical ocean variables from 1982 to 2022. The analysis focused on upwelling indices derived from sea surface temperatures (SSTs), wind stress and chlorophyll-a concentration during the boreal winterspring and summer, when upwelling peaks in the Senegal-Mauritania and Gulf of Guinea upwelling systems, respectively. Additional indicators such as the annual cycles of sea level anomaly, ocean surface current velocity, geostrophic balance, salinity, nitrate and dissolved oxygen in surface waters were also examined as upwelling indicators. Upwelling trends were investigated by comparing the results of different datasets. Results highlight the complex interplay of local and large-scale processes that influence the dynamics of coastal upwelling in Northwest Africa. The variability in these coastal upwelling regions was not only influenced by local and remote wind forcing, but also by large-scale climatic drivers such as El Niño Southern Oscillations (ENSO) and Atlantic Niño events. These climatic factors influence the intensity and frequency and duration of upwelling seasons. In the Senegal-Mauritania coastal upwelling, a strong relationship was observed between upwelling and the equatorial ENSO events from late winter to the early spring, with a notable reduction of upwelling intensity after the peak of El Niño in the equatorial Pacific. In the Gulf of Guinea, the summer upwelling intensity was affected by the equatorial Atlantic mode and often decoupled from local wind forcing, providing new insights into alternative upwelling drivers.
Influence of Snow Spatial Variability on Cosmic Ray Neutron SWE
Authors: Kim Haejo , Sproles Eric , Tuttle Samuel E.
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Monitoring prairie snow has been difficult due to its extreme spatial variability from windy conditions, gentle topography, and low tree cover. Previous work has shown that a noninvasive (or aboveground) Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensor (CRNS) placed at the Central Agricultural Research Center (CARC; 47.07° N, 109.95° W), an agricultural research site within a semi-arid prairie environment managed by Montana State University, was sensitive to both the low snow amounts and spatial variability of prairie snow. In this study, we build upon previous work to understand how different snow distributions would have influenced CRNS measurements at the CARC. Specifically, we compared the changes in neutron counts and snow water equivalent (SWE) after relocating our CRNS probe at the CARC using the Ultra Rapid Neutron-Only Simulation (URANOS) and comparing them to uniform snow distributions. For shallow, heterogeneous snowpacks like the ones observed at the CARC, the magnitude and distance of the snow drifts from the CRNS has the greatest effect on neutron counts. Therefore, the best place to site a CRNS is within areas of low snow accumulation that are nearby areas of high snow accumulation to obtain a reasonable spatial estimate. Despite this, a naive CRNS placement was 2 to 5 times more likely to yield better SWE estimates compared to snow scales or currently available gridded products. CRNS provides valuable information about shallow, heterogeneous snowpacks in prairie and other environments and can benefit future missions from UAV and satellite platforms.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. The interaction of water streams in channels with a complex cross section, involving the exchange of water mass and momentum between slowly flowing water in the floodplains and fast water in the main channel, significantly depends on the diversification of the surface roughness between the main channel and floodplains. Additionally, trees increase flow resistance strongly in floodplains and significantly in the main channel by intensifying the interaction process. As a result, the water velocity and the discharge capacity of both parts of the channel decrease and, at the same time, affect the flow conditions in the main channel. The results of laboratory experiments were used to determine the effect of floodplain trees on the discharge capacity of the channel with diversified roughness. The reduction in the velocity of the main channel caused by the stream interactions is described with the apparent friction coefficients introduced at the boundary between the main channel and the floodplain. The values of resistance coefficients and their changes as a result of the significant influence of trees on the interaction process were determined for different surface roughnesses of the main-channel bottom.
Assessing the thermohaline coherence of mesoscale eddies as described from in situ data
Authors: Barabinot Yan , Speich Sabrina , Carton Xavier
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Mesoscale eddies are a ubiquitous feature of the global ocean. According to Lagrangian theory, these eddies often transport a distinct water mass within their cores, making them materially coherent. This study aims to determine if such a distinct water mass exists in eddy cores, thereby verifying their material coherence using in situ data, despite the lack of temporal continuity. We introduce the term “thermohaline coherence” to describe this approach. Identifying such a water mass would signal Lagrangian transport from the eddy formation region. We analyzed the water masses at the cores of various eddies sampled during eight research cruises using high-resolution data (approximately 20 km horizontally and 10 m vertically). We revisited coherence definitions and checked data accuracy. Comparing the horizontal positions of these core anomalies with eddy surface signatures revealed that surface data alone are insufficient for characterizing the eddy material coherence. To calculate eddy volumes, we compare thermohaline anomalies with other criteria, and we present two methods for extrapolating eddy volumes from a single hydrographic section. The results show that the outermost closed contour of the Brunt–Väisälä frequency anomaly at each depth provides a reliable approximation for the eddy boundary.

Published: January 2025

This journal article presents a comprehensive analysis of Al-Ahkam Al-Khomsah, a fundamental concept in Islamic jurisprudence that classifies actions into five legal categories: obligatory (wajib), recommended (mandub), permissible (mubah), disliked (makruh), and prohibited (haram). The study explores the traditional Islamic law perspective of these categories, which guide the ethical and legal conduct of Muslims. Additionally, the paper examines how these rulings are interpreted and applied in contemporary contexts, considering the challenges posed by globalization, technological advances, and social changes. The analysis highlights how Islamic scholars have adapted the understanding of Al-Ahkam Al-Khomsah to address modern issues, such as evolving social norms, new technological innovations, and legal systems. Through this exploration, the paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how Islamic law continues to shape both individual behavior and societal development in the modern world while remaining rooted in its classical principles. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of Islamic jurisprudence and its capacity to offer relevant guidance in addressing contemporary challenges.

Islamic Communication in Government: a Theorical and Practical Analysis
Authors: Perdana Cuanda Mitra , Abdullah Abdullah
Published: January 2025

The application of Islamic communication principles in government has the potential to improve the quality of public communication and strengthen the relationship between the government and the community. Honesty and trustworthiness as the basis for proper communication can ensure that the information conveyed to the community is true and reliable. In this regard, the Indonesian government needs to continue to strive to uphold these values, which will reduce public doubts about the policies and information disseminated. However, the biggest challenge in integrating Islamic communication principles into the Indonesian government system is the incompatibility between these values ??and political practices that tend to be pragmatic and influenced by personal or group interests. In facing this challenge, the government needs to strengthen integrity education and ensure that every official and state institution acts in accordance with Islamic principles that demand honesty and accountability. In addition, Islamic communication can also play a role in reducing social and political polarization. The principle of moderation (wasatiyyah) is very important for building harmonious dialogue in a pluralistic society, such as Indonesia. By prioritizing an inclusive and balanced attitude, the principle of moderation can help society to accept differences, avoid extremism, and encourage social solidarity.

Este ensaio tem por objetivo construir uma análise entre o currículo escolar e o conceito de dialogicidade no construto elaborado por Paulo Freire. O currículo escolar atravessa constantes disputas e é fruto de processos históricos. Para sua constituição há diferentes interesses e influências, não sendo possível compreendê-lo como mero prescritor de conteúdo. Metodologicamente se orienta pela abordagem qualitativa, do tipo bibliográfica e análise interpretativa. O levantamento bibliográfico permitiu-nos entender que o currículo oculto não é óbvio, e está presente em atitudes e comportamentos no ambiente escolar, embora não faça parte do currículo prescrito.  Freire considera o silêncio como um elemento importante no espaço de comunicação, de abrir o espaço à escuta e a dialogicidade contribui para o desenvolvimento de uma consciência crítica e problematizadora.
Low dislocation rate following revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with dual mobility cup with minimum 2-year follow-up
Authors: JEHAN Shah , BY NG Aaron , CE JONES Simon , SHETTY Ajit
Published: January 2025

Dislocation is the second most common indication for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). In revision cases the dislocation rate can be as high as 5-30%. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome, specifically the dislocation rate in revision THA where a dual mobility cup was used. We retrospectively reviewed all the revision THAs where a dual mobility cup (G7) was used. The pre-operative and post-operative oxford hip scores were recorded. Patients’ electronic records and radiographs were studied for the indications, approaches used, post-operative complications, re-operation rates, and re-revision surgery. Between 2016 and 2020, we performed 59 revision total hip replacements where a dual mobility cup (G7) was used. There were 23 males and 36 females. The average age was 74 years (range, 64-89). Acetabular components were revised in 47 (80%) cases and both the femoral and the acetabular components were revised in 12 (20%) cases. The average follow-up time was 4 years (range, 2-6 years). Average pre-operative and post-operative oxford hip scores were 17 and 36 respectively. The improvement was significant with P value of <.001. Complications were noted in 5 (8%) patients. One patient had dislocation. This patient required re-revision with constrained liner. One patient had intraoperative fracture of the femur and was treated with plate and cables. We conclude that the dual mobility cup can significantly reduce the risk of dislocation when used in revision THA.
A comparative study of the role of carbon fibre reinforced polyetheretherketone and titanium intramedullary nails in patients with metastatic bone disease

Carbon fibre reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implants have gained interest because of reported biomechanical advantages and radio-lucent properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CFR-PEEK nails in patients with metastatic bone disease (MBD). We performed a retrospective cohort study evaluating patients with MBD undergoing intramedullary (IM) nailing for prophylaxis or fixation of pathological fractures using CFR- PEEK or titanium implants. Patient survival, implant failure rates, ability to visualise disease progression on post- operative CT/MRI, and post-operative radiotherapy dose were reported. Fifty patients underwent 56 IM nails (26 CFR-PEEK and 30 titanium). Median survival was 8 months for the entire cohort, 6 months for patients with CFR- PEEK nails and 8 months for those with conventional nails (p=0.691). No implant failures were recorded in either group. There was no correlation between implant type and post-operative radiotherapy dose given (χ 2 = 0.139, p=0.710). Artefact on MRI was less evident with CFR-PEEK nails when hybrid imaging and metal artefact reduction techniques were used. The advantages of CFR-PEEK nails might not be realised in clinical practice for most patients with MBD requiring IM nailing except for in those likely to require prolonged disease surveillance.

The study examined the relationship between academic stress and depression among students of Federal universities in South-west, Nigeria. A descriptive survey of correlational type was employed for the study. A simple random sampling method was used to select 420 respondents from six Federal universities in Southwest, Nigeria, but 398 were properly retrieved and analyzed. Data collection was conducted using the “Academic Stress and Depression Questionnaire (ASDQ).” The findings revealed high levels of academic stress and depression among respondents in Federal universities in South-west, Nigeria. A notable relationship was found between academic stress and depression among respondents. Furthermore, variables such as gender, age, class level, and course of study significantly predict academic stress and depression among respondents. It is therefore recommended that students should utilize guidance and counselling services available at their universities when dealing with academic stress, as this can help in preventing depression and its related consequences.

Cormac McCarthy’s ecocentric style has received continuous critical attention at least since Vereen Bell’s pioneering work in the early 1980s, and ultimately, critics seem to have settled on the term “optical democracy” as a shorthand for this style’s main feature: its ontological leveling, as in the oft-quoted passage in Blood Meridian, of all the world’s things. Labelling optical democracy a literary symbolism, and drawing on Charles Feidelson’s and Paul de Man’s theorizations of this form of writing, this article argues that McCarthy’s allegorical understanding of literature eventually comes to challenge his penchant for symbolism. To call attention to this development in McCarthy’s writing, the article discusses examples from his debut novel, considers unpublished material from the Wittliff archives, and finally shows how The Road serves as an autoreferential evaluation of the author’s own style.

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumor, is a rare odontogenic neoplasm originating from epithelial tissue. The presence of clear cells within CEOT is an unusual finding, indicating a variant with distinctive histopathological features and possible clinical implications. This study presents a case report of a clear cell variant of CEOT in a 36-year-old male patient with painless swelling in the anterior mandible. The occurrence of clear cells in CEOT is uncommon and may mimic other clear cell tumors. Therefore, the identification of amyloid-like deposits and calcifications is essential in confirming the diagnosis of clear cell variant of CEOT.

Authors: Santos Souto Maior Nívea Maria
Published: January 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo verificar a baixa efetividade da garantia da liberdade sindical pela lógica do Direito internacional dos Direitos Humanos. De início, será necessário historicizar o princípio da indivisibilidade e a sua dificuldade prática, principalmente o desprestígio àqueles da segunda dimensão: os Direitos Sociais. Em seguida, precedentes históricos da Corte Interamericana serão abordados no qual ratificam a liberdade de associação dentro do corpus jurídico dos Direitos Humanos, a iniciar pela análise do caso Baena Ricardo e outros vs. Panamá. Por último, correlaciona-se a Opinião Consultiva nº 27/2021 da Corte IDH ao dispor que é obrigação positiva do Estado na garantia da liberdade sindical. Esse estudo adotou a revisão documental e bibliográfica como técnica de pesquisa, e ainda o método hipotético-dedutivo sobre a seguinte questão: medidas reiteradas de restrição à liberdade sindical no Brasil violam o artigo 8º do Protocolo de San Salvador?

This study was carried out in the lath house of the Horticulture Department Nursery, College of Agriculture Engineering Sciences, Duhok University. Kurdistan region, Iraq, for the period from 5th 2024 to study the effect of different levels of Zn (0, 0.50 and 0.75) and different concentration of BA (0. 50, and 100) mgl-1 on some flowering and vase life of two cultivars of Zinnia plant. The results were as follows: The best results (fewest days) for the number of days from planting to bud emergence, and anthesis were obtained on Zinnia Lavanda (54.957 and 85.185) respectively. Also, these treatments were significantly superior in the other characteristics like flower stem length (cm), flower stem diameter (cm) and vase life (days) for Zinnia Lavanda cultivar reached (3.815 cm 8.169 cm 10.710 day) respectively. While the flower dry weight 1.429g and vase life 11.009 day was significantly increased when plant spraying with 0.75 % Zn compared with other treatments. The responses of the Zinnia plants to micro elements under study, significantly increased number of flowers per plant 4.389, flower stem diameter 0.437 cm, flower fresh weight 9.510 g and vase life 11.148 for the Zinnia Lavanda when spraying with 0.75% Zn compared to the control. While the maximum result about the flower stem length 87.310 cm, flower diameter 8.319 cm and flower dry weight 1.674 g for Zinnia rosso scarlatta when spraying with 0.75% Zn. Also, the best result of Zinnia Lavanda for number of flowers per plant, flower stem diameter, flower fresh weight and vase life (4.333, 0.405 cm, 10.462 g and 11.111 days) was obtained when the plant sprays with BA at (100 and 50) mgl-1 respectively compared with control and Zinnia rosso scarlatta. Maximum fresh flower weight (13.030 g) was recorded for plants grown in BA at 50 mgl-1+ 0.50% Zn treatment for the Zinnia Lavanda cultivar follow by 12.217g fresh flower weight for the same cultivar when spraying only 100 mgl-1 BA. Maximum dry flower weight (2.317 g) was recorded for Zinnia rosso scarlatta cultivar in control treatment. Maximum vase life (12.333 days) was recorded for Zinnia Lavanda cultivar in 0.75% Zn combined with 50 mgl-1 BA treatment.

Published: January 2025

In stressful sports like basketball, athletes especially need to be able to manage their emotions. This study addresses the importance of emotional management in the context of athletic performance and its impacts on athletic success. An extensive evaluation of the literature and case study analysis was used to perform the research. For the analysis of this research, a sequential mixed technique (qualitative and quantitative) study was conducted. Delphi questionnaires were used twice to conduct the study. For the Delphi technique, the suggested population for significance and practical exploration of emotional regulation in college basketball education and training could be experts in the fields of sports psychologists, athletic trainers and college basketball coaches. Data from the semi-structured interviews for the qualitative study were collected via a Delphi survey, and 14 nodes and six themes were then generated. Finally, the essay provides coaches and trainers with actionable suggestions for integrating emotional regulation education and training into their curricula. These consensuses were also noted in this study among the targeted groups of coaches and trainers for further discussion. The findings of this study on the emotional regulations of collegiate basketball training and education in China may be used to influence policy and advance the field of study.
