Published: August 2021

The development of SMEs is still one of the development priorities in Indonesia. One example is the Dewandaru Batik industry in Malang Regency. The business, which was started in 2017 and is engaged in batik cloth production, carries out the production process manually with limited tools. The price that is determined tends to be very cheap compared to batik marketed through the market and online galleries. Moreover, every month's limited production is the impact of the lack of technology used and little marketing. Marketing and utilization of appropriate technology are still the main obstacles faced; therefore, the solution to this problem is digitizing the marketing mix and proper technology. The method used is identifying problem-solving and assistance for increasing industrial innovation and digital marketing. The result of this activity was an increase in Dewandaru's batik industry's productivity with the help of a batik stamp tool and a dipping tub used for the coloring process. Furthermore, increasing quality makes for a broader marketing market. Batik Dewandaru also experienced improvements in business management because it made simple financial reports on the results of business management training.

The farming profession in the industrial era 4.0 is considered ancient and has no potential and bonafide. To change such a mindset, Community Service (PKM-Unmer Building Village) in collaboration with hydroganic farmer groups to make greenhouse and hydro-gas models accompanied by water flow monitoring (flow sensor), temperature, and humidity monitoring (DHT11 sensor) and electricity control (UPS). By utilizing the IoT concept in a monitoring tool that is placed in hydroganics, it can monitor the flow of water and plants in real-time. To access monitoring, the cellphone must be connected to the same wifi as the device, then enter the IP address using a mobile browser. The method of implementation used consists of three stages: preparation includes a review of partner locations, coordination, and the number of partners and existing facilities, pilot and, socialization. The results obtained from this activity are to accelerate and make it easier to control the hydroganics contained in the greenhouse in real-time. By utilizing a UPS to make the water pump always on, the equipment is not easily damaged if there is an electrical disturbance such as a blackout or short circuit. PKM-Unmer Building Village produces a pilot modeled in a greenhouse, socialization to the community and Bengkel Mimpi farmer groups, and training to make simple monitoring tools.

Published: August 2021

This service activity is the application of an innovative submersible solar pump in a hydro-organic greenhouse environment in Grangsil Jambangan, Malang Regency. This is motivated by the need for water that can only be obtained through deep wells with submersible pumps in hydro-organic greenhouses that already use solar power plants but have insufficient power. The purpose of this service is to provide theoretical and practical understanding for Tour conscious group (POKDARWIS) Jambangan members as managers of the hydro-organic greenhouse. The methods used include focus group discussions (FGD) and joint practice in developing solar power plants for submersible pumps. After the implementation of this program, there was an increase in the capacity of the solar power plants, which has been able to turn on submersible pumps, hydroganic circulation pumps, and other needs. In one day, the submersible pump only needs to be turned on for 2 hours and produces 4,572 liters of water, sufficient for greenhouse hydroganic needs and other needs. Another positive impact is that POKDARWIS Jambangan members have been able to manage and maintain PLTS for a hydro-organic greenhouse. The submersible water pump prototype for hydroganic agriculture at the greenhouse using independent energy is very practical and efficient so it is expected to become a prototype for modern agricultural facilities in the context of a national-scale food security improvement program.

THE COASTS OF THE CAUCASIAN NORTH-WESTERN PART OF THE BLACK SEA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY
Authors: Krylenko V. V. , Kosyan R. D. , Krylenko M. V.
Published: August 2021

The Black Sea coast of the Caucasus has the most valuable economic resources, primarily recreational. In addition, coastal geosystems are a key element of the region's natural biodiversity. This paper provides an overview of the current state of abrasion and accumulative shores of the Black Sea between c. Panagia and r. Tuapse. Materials of long-term monitoring observations, satellite imagery, the results of mathematical modeling, literary and archival sources are used. The most important natural processes that determine the development of the coasts are considered and the analysis of their dynamics due to climate changes and increasing anthropogenic load is performed. It is shown that the significant differences between individual sections of the north-western part of the Caucasus Black Sea coast in terms of natural features and the degree of their economic development are determined by a variety of natural and socio-economic factors. Abrasion coasts with high cliffs, where denudation processes are the main source of solid material to the coastal zone, predominate. The general deficit of beach-forming sediments is a characteristic feature, as a result of which there is no single alongshore sediment flux. Small lithodynamic systems bounded by capes are characteristic of the coast under consideration. The movement of sediments has the character of reverse migrations and the beach is formed in the concavities of the coast. The only large accumulative form is the Anapa bay-bar, in the formation of which the alluvium of the Kuban River played an important role. Predominance of erosion processes over accumulative ones is the geomorphological feature of the Caucasus Black Sea coasts, therefore the main problems of environmental management are the protection of the coast from storm waves and shortage of beaches. Creation of complexes of artificial beaches with beach-retaining structures, that simultaneously perform coastal protection and recreational functions, is the most promising solution to these problems in the 21st century. It is noted that the conditions of the considered coastal section are favorable for the use of local coastal protection.
Neuroregenerative Effects of Intraspinal Microstimulation (ISMS) Following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Authors: Lee Andy , Schindle Mason , Tyreman Neil , Mushahwar Vivian
Published: August 2021

Background     Intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) is a novel electrical stimulation technique that has demonstrated mobility restoration in animals with spinal cord injury (SCI). This project investigated: 1) the capacity of ISMS to restore functional walking in rats with SCI through 4 weeks of stimulation, and 2) the degree of walking deficit caused by ISMS surgery.
Methods     Thirteen Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: 1) rats with hemi-section SCI (hSCI) and no implants (control group), 2) rats with hSCI and passive ISMS implants (ISMS sham group), and 3) rats with hSCI and implants with active electrical stimulation (ISMS group). All groups were trained to walk on a horizontal ladder and their performance was quantified pre- and post-surgery.
Results     We hypothesized that the rats with active ISMS implants would demonstrate the greatest improvement in functional walking compared to both control groups, and that the ISMS sham group would underperform the most. The preoperative functional walking scores of control, sham and ISMS rats were 5.7±0.2, 5.5±0.3 and 5.7±0.1, respectively (7-point scale; mean ± standard error). The post-surgery scores were 3.2±0.9, 2.6±0.6 and 3.3±0.8 for control, sham, and ISMS rats, respectively.
Conclusions     As the difference between the post-surgery functional walking scores of ISMS and control rats was not statistically significant, this may indicate that four weeks of ISMS stimulation is not enough to cause rehabilitative effects. Additionally, the ISMS sham group demonstrated impaired functional walking compared to the hSCI control group as predicted. Future studies will employ a larger sample size to fully elucidate this trend and utilize thinner microwires to mitigate cellular damage.

One of the most common issues on the word right now is green building technology, with the goal of reducing the development industry's various negative effects on the environment, society, and economy. Because pollution and global warming are quickly expanding over the planet, the world urgently requires a sustainable and reasonable development. Because of the increase in Green House Gases (GHGs), dramatic climatical differences occurring everyday have been noted and are being faced by almost everyone all over the world. Within settled countries such as the United States of America, Russia, Australia, and the United Kingdom, there have already been rigorous steps taken to achieve workable development, as well as rules and regulations enacted by their respective governments to assist and accomplish a workable and environmentally approachable development of their countries. However, emerging countries such as India, China, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and others are dragging in terms of founding supportable growth and environmentally friendly structures. In addition, there is a deficiency of public understanding about this worldwide issue in these emerging countries. According to surveys and study, these countries are also far behind schedule the established nations of the world. This article discusses the need for maintainable growth around the world, particularly in emerging countries such as India and China, which have enormous land-living masses and are fast emerging, with the potential to become new global superpowers in the near future. It also includes sustainable and monetary research with connections to Indian contexts, as well as a recent live instance study of a freshly built and constructed luxurious housing home in a densely populated area of India. The case study is a inhabited house that is planned and built as a sustainable and green structure in an extremely community inside the state of Maharashtra, India, as India is also known as a country of villages with

The Implementation of Character Building to Improve Resident Participation in Waste Management
Authors: Zebua Rony Sandra Yofa , Sunarti
Published: August 2021

Household waste commonly dominates the municipal waste composition, indicating a vital role of residents' participation in solving waste problems. Various efforts have been made to encourage resident's participation. However, many approaches implemented cannot keep participation sustainable. Previous studies showed that educating residents through nurturing moral values is influential in improving waste management behaviour. Meanwhile, the moral value becomes the core of character building, implying that character building could have a role in resident-based education to enhance waste management behaviour. In fact, character building can change individual behaviour sustainably. Thus, this study aimed to figure out the possibility of implementing character building to nurture sustainable waste management behaviour and investigate how character-building was implemented. Using a case study approach, we explored a resident-based education in Neglasari, Bandung, Indonesia, that implemented moral value as the educational strategy. This study found that some primary activities were conducted to transfer moral value. The learning activities were focused on nurturing moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action as central components of character building. However, implementing character building seemed to take time and required iteration to get a sustainable change in the behaviour. Nevertheless, it is worth to continue to gain significant benefits.

Framework based on parameterized images on ResNet to identify intrusions in smartwatches or other related devices
Authors: Lloret Egea Juan Antonio
Published: August 2021

A conceptual and algebraically framework that did not exist up until then in its morphology, was developed. What is more, it is pioneer on its implementation in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it was started up in laboratory, on its structural aspects, as a fully operational model. At qualitative level, its greatest contribution to AI is applying the conversion or transduction of parameters obtained by ternary logic (multi-valued systems) and associating them with an image. This image will be analysed by means of a residual artificial network ResNet34, to warn us of an intrusion. The field of application of this framework includes everything from smartwatches, tablets, and PC’s to the home automation based on the KNX standard.

Published: August 2021

Model Predictive Control is an energy effcient climate control strategy in buildings. However, the effort associated with physics-based modelling seems to prevent widespread application in residential buildings. Applying machine learning algorithms on historical data promises efficient generation of predictive models for control. In a recent experimental study, Data Predictive Control based on random forests and linear models outperformed a baseline controller during cooling season. In this paper, the approach is benchmarked against hysteresis control and conventional Model Predictive Control based on an RC-network model during heating season. Data Predictive Control shows promising results in terms of energy consumption and thermal comfort.
Teaching Quality in Higher Education: Agreement Between Teacher Self-reports and Student Evaluations
Authors: Daumiller Martin , Janke Stefan , Hein Julia , Rinas Raven , Dickhäuser Oliver , Dresel Markus
Published: August 2021

Teaching quality is a crucial factor within higher education. Research on this topic often re-quires assessing teaching quality as a global construct through self-reports. However, such in-struments are criticized due to the lack of alignment between teacher and student reports of in-structional practices. We argue that while teachers might over- or under-estimate specific dimen-sions of teaching quality, the aggregation of these dimensions in the form of overarching teach-ing quality well reflects differences in teaching quality between teachers. Accordingly, we test a ten-item measure that allows faculty to self-report their teaching quality based on the aspects distinguished in the SEEQ (Marsh, 1982, 2007). Using 15,503 student assessments of teaching quality in 889 sessions taught by 97 faculty members, we conducted Doubly Latent Multi Level Modelling while considering bias and unfairness variables to model overarching teaching quality assessed by students, and simultaneously corrected for measurement error and potential distor-tions through the assessment situation. This global factor of teaching quality was strongly asso-ciated with teacher self-reported teaching quality (ρ = .74), which we interpret as evidence that global teacher reports of teaching quality can serve as sensible indicators of overarching teach-ing quality for nomothetic research in higher education.
Holistic Framework for Quality Assessment of Mediated Social Communication
Authors: Toet Alexander , Mioch Tina , Gunkel Simon N.B. , Niamut Omar , van Erp Jan B.F.
Published: August 2021

Modern immersive multisensory communication systems can provide compelling mediated social communication experiences that approach face-to-face (F2F) communication. Existing frameworks to assess the quality of mediated social communication experiences are typically targeted at specific communication technologies and do not address all relevant aspects of social presence (i.e., the feeling of being in the presence of, and having an affective and intellectual connection with, other persons). Also, they are typically unsuitable for application to social communication in virtual (VR), augmented (AR) or mixed (MR) reality. Here we present a comprehensive and general holistic mediated social communication (H-MSC) framework and associated questionnaire (the H-MSC-Q) for measuring the quality of mediated social communication. The H-MSC framework comprises both the experience of Spatial Presence (i.e., the perceived fidelity, internal and external plausibility, and cognitive, reasoning and behavioral affordances of an environment) and the experience of Social Presence (i.e., perceived mutual proximity, intimacy, credibility, reasoning and behavior of the communication partners). Since social presence is inherently bidirectional (involving a sense of mutual awareness) the H-MSC-Q distinguishes between the internal (‘own’) and external (‘the other’) assessment perspectives. The H-MSC-Q is efficient and parsimonious, using only a single item to tap into each of the relevant processing levels in the human brain: sensory, emotional, cognitive, reasoning, and behavioral. It is also sufficiently general to measure social presence experienced with any (including VR, AR, and MR) type of multi-sensory (visual, auditory, haptic, and olfactory) mediated communication system.
The Relationship between Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder traits, Impulsivity, and GPA among a college student population
Authors: Ailunli  , Teng Jiaxuan , Tajchman Zuzanna Jagoda , Vilares Iris
Published: August 2021

Background: Impulsivity as a multidimensional construct is commonly linked with a wide range of mental health disorders, such as Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BorPD). Previous research suggests that individuals with BD and BorPD are more likely to be associated with lower academic achievement. This experiment aims to investigate the interrelation between BD or BorPD traits, impulsivity, and poor academic performance (GPA). Method: Our pre-registered study tested bipolar and borderline personality traits from a sample of 125 college students. Two behavioral tasks (Two-choice impulsivity paradigm; Go/no-go) and a self-report questionnaire (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, BIS-11) were used to measure impulsivity. Students’ Grade Point Averages (GPAs) were also collected. Results: Both bipolar and borderline personality traits were positively correlated with the self-report impulsivity questionnaire (BIS-11) but not with the behavioral tasks. Students’ GPA were not significantly correlated with BD, BorPD traits, and impulsivity measures (behavioral and self-report). The self-report impulsivity questionnaire (BIS-11) was only significantly correlated with the Go/no-go task performance, but not the two-choice impulsivity paradigm. Limitations: This study is a correlational study in which participants have pre-existing conditions, therefore we cannot get a causal relationship. Besides, due to the normative sample, the study can only look at traits instead of diagnosis. Conclusions: Results from this study suggest that students with bipolar and/or borderline personality traits tend to have higher self-report impulsivity, without a noticeable impact on their GPA. Our results also support the growing consensus that impulsivity describes a diverse set of processes and traits.
Examining Effort in 1D Uncertainty Communication Using Individual Differences in Working Memory and NASA-TLX
Authors: Castro Spencer C. , Hosseinpour Helia , P. Samuel Quinan  , Padilla Lace
Published: August 2021

As uncertainty visualizations for general audiences become increasingly common, designers must understand the full impact of uncertainty communication techniques on viewers' decision processes. Prior work demonstrates mixed performance outcomes with respect to how individuals make decisions using various visual and textual depictions of uncertainty. Part of the inconsistency across findings may be due to an over-reliance on task accuracy, which cannot, on its own, provide a comprehensive understanding of how uncertainty visualization techniques support reasoning processes. In this work, we advance the debate surrounding the efficacy of modern 1D uncertainty visualizations by conducting converging quantitative and qualitative analyses of both the effort and strategies used by individuals when provided with quantile dotplots, density plots, interval plots, mean plots, and textual descriptions of uncertainty. We utilize two approaches for examining effort across uncertainty communication techniques: a measure of individual differences in working-memory capacity known as an operation span (OSPAN) task and self-reports of perceived workload via the NASA-TLX. The results reveal that both visualization methods and working-memory capacity impact participants' decisions. Specifically, quantile dotplots and density plots (i.e., distributional annotations) result in more accurate judgments than interval plots, textual descriptions of uncertainty, and mean plots (i.e., summary annotations). Additionally, participants' open-ended responses suggest that individuals viewing distributional annotations are more likely to employ a strategy that explicitly incorporates uncertainty into their judgments than those viewing summary annotations. When comparing quantile dotplots to density plots, this work finds that both methods are equally effective for low-working-memory individuals. However, for individuals with high-working-memory capacity, quantile dotplots evoke more accurate responses with less perceived effort. Given these results, we advocate for the inclusion of converging behavioral and subjective workload metrics in addition to accuracy performance to further disambiguate meaningful differences among visualization techniques.
Assessing Backyard Poultry versus Small Animal Knowledge of Veterinary Students regarding Husbandry, Prescription Drug Use, and Antimicrobial Resistance
Authors: Cadena Myrna M. , Kelman Todd , Pitesky Maurice , Dutch Rachel S. , Tell Lisa A.
Published: August 2021

As backyard poultry (BYP) ownership has increased in the US, the demand for veterinarians who treat BYP has also increased. However, veterinarians who treat BYP remain scarce and are mostly small animal veterinarians and exotic animal practitioners who have limited training in food animal regulatory practices. To gauge whether veterinary students are interested in learning more about BYP and what BYP topics to include in an online training program for veterinary students, a BYP knowledge assessment was conducted. Pre-clinical veterinary students were asked to self-rate their level of knowledge on various topics for both small animal practice and BYP using Likert-type ordinal scales. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests of those Likert data showed significant differences ( p < .01 at α = .05) between self-assessed knowledge of poultry and small animal medicine for all surveyed topics. Specifically, veterinary students ranked themselves as less knowledgeable on poultry concepts than on small animal medicine concepts. Nevertheless, students expressed interest in an online training program for treating BYP and drug residue avoidance in BYP, despite having chosen future career tracks that are not exclusively poultry. Specific topics students expressed interest in with respect to BYP training included anatomy, husbandry, prescribing medications, treatment options, food safety, antimicrobial resistance, and extra-label drug use.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the main type of liver cancer. Understanding the molecular and immune mechanisms of HCC tumorigenesis are required to develop effective biomarkers. This study is designed to measure the circulating MMP9 and CEBPα to provide a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for HCV-genotype (4) induced liver cirrhosis and carcinogenesis. This study included one hundred Egyptian patients, divided into two groups 50 patients each. The first group: classified into Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) without cirrhosis (n=25) and CLD with cirrhosis (n=25). The second group: classified into CLD patients with HCC, (n=25), and healthy control (25 volunteers). The expression of MMP9 and CEBPα genes were analysed using Real-Time PCR. Our results showed significant downregulation in MMP9 and CEBPα genes in cirrhotic and HCC patients (p< 0.001 and p<0.001) respectively. There was a significant (p< 0.001) diagnostic capacity between HCC patients against CLD with or without cirrhosis patients. Bioinformatics analysis revealed a relationship between MMP9 and CEBPα genes. In conclusion, the gradual decrease in the expression of MMP9 and CEBPα gene during the progression of the disease recommended use of MMP9 and CEBPα genes as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for both cirrhosis and HCC in HCV-genotype (4) patients.

Minat dan bakat merupakan kedua hal yang harus ada dalam setiap individu. Diperlukan  dukungan  dari  berbagai  pihak  untuk  meningkatkan  atau  menumbuhkan minat dan bakat seorang anak. Jika minat dan bakat anak terbentuk maka potensi yang ada dalam diri anak akan meningkat sejalan dengan minat dan bakat anak tersebut. Sebagaimana yang dilakukan oleh pelatih kegiatan ekstrakulikuler pada siswa di MIN 01  Mojokerto.  Mereka  melatih  dan  mengembangkan  minat  dan  bakat  anak  sesuai dengan bidang ekstrakulikuler yang ada. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah; 1) Bagaimana penerapan manajemen pengembangan minat dan bakat untuk meningkatkan potensi siswa di MIN 01 Mojokerto? 2) Apa yang menjadi faktor penghambat  penerapan  manajemen  pengembangan  minat  dan  bakat  untuk meningkatkan potensi siswa di MIN 01 Mojokerto? 3) Bagaimana upaya dalam mengatasi  hambatan  penerapan  manajemen  pengembangan  minat  dan  bakat  untuk meningkatkan potensi siswa di MIN 01 Mojokerto? Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah; 1) Proses   manajemen pengembangan minat dan bakat melalui tahapan perencanaan, tahapan pengorganisasian, tahapan pelaksanaan ekstrakulikuler, dan tahapan evaluasi pelaksanaan ekstrakulikuler. 2) faktor penghambat proses  penerapan  manajemen  pengembangan  minat  dan  bakat  siswa  di  MIN  01 Mojokerto  yaitu  kepala  sekolah  masih  kurang  memantau,  mengatur,  dan mengkondisikan  kegiatan  ekstrakulikuler  secara  optimal.  3)  upaya  yang  dilakukan adalah adanya pemantauan yang rutin dari kepala sekolah pada setiap kegiatan ekstrakulikuler.

Sand armour: How it provides plants with an edge up in survival
Authors: Jennifer
Published: August 2021

Plants have evolved a dizzying array of morphological and biochemical defences; a deceptively simple one involves sand. Some plants actively coat themselves in sand, termed psammophory, as an ingenious adaptation for survival. While the functional significance of psammophory is understudied, experimental data from Abronia latifolia and Navarretia mellita suggests that it acts as a mechanical defence against herbivory within dune habitats. This defence stems from both the damaging and non-nutritive properties of sand and the lasting detrimental effects it has on herbivore physiology. While sand armour may seem like an unusual adaptation, it certainly can deter herbivores by giving them something to chew on.
A contrastive study on thanking in Arabic dialects and English
Authors: Jamal Al-Maznaei Rana
Published: August 2021

Cross-Cultural Pragmatics (CCP) is a field of study that focuses on the interaction of people from various cultures. It is to clarify cultural distinctions between languages that acquire meaning through context and sociocultural embedding, resulting in a pragmatic communication failure. This study determines whether the Arabic language, because of dialectical variation, contains more thanking methods than English. Additionally, it aims to investigate the face-threatening strategies used by Arabs and native English speakers. Besides, it aims to determine whether contextual variables affect thanking expressions. The data collection instrument was an open-ended questionnaire in two versions Arabic and English. The results were then analyzed quantitatively using SPSS software version 26.0, following Cheng's classification of thanking. The findings indicate that dialectical diversity is not associated with an increase in thanking strategies that are more prevalent in English. Additionally, religion affects the Arabs speaking, their manner of thanking does not exclude religious expressions, which are their preferred method of expressing their politeness and gratitude. In terms of face-threatening strategies, both native Arabic and English speakers preferred negative politeness to positive politeness, which focuses on minimizing the FTA's particular imposition. Concerning contextual variables such as familiarity and social status, both affect how the thanking speech act is performed. It will be worthwhile to investigate thanking in Arabic and English with a specific factor such as social distance. Additionally, it is beneficial to examine thanking in Arabic dialects regarding civilization's cultural influence and the dialect's proximity to standard Arabic.

İskelet kası kasılması ile kan akımının düzenlenebilmesi bizlere; kas yorgunluğu, kan basınç refleksleri ve metabolizmanın fizyolojik işleyişi hakkında birçok bilgi vermektedir. Kan akımı kısıtlaması (KAK) kullanımına artan ilgi, egzersizin kan akımının azaldığı dönemlerde antrenman uyarlamalarını nasıl etkileyebileceğini açıklığa kavuşturmaya odaklanmaktadır. Bu ilginin esas sebebi, sağlıklı popülasyonlarda değişimi tetiklemesi beklenmeyen oldukça düşük yoğunluklar ve dirençler kullanıldığında bile bireylerin kas boyutunda, kuvvetinde ve dayanıklılık kapasitelerinde artışları gösteren çalışmaların bulunmasıdır. KAK egzersizinin güç ve dayanıklılık çalışan sporcuların antrenmanlarına dâhil edilmesinin, iskelet kası ve kardiyovasküler adaptasyonları artıran fizyolojik faydalar sağladığı gösterilmiştir. Son bulgular, KAK egzersizinin yerel kas oksijen mevcudiyeti ve vasküler kayma stresi gibi akut fizyolojik stres faktörlerini değiştirdiğini ve bunun da geleneksel antrenmanla kolayca elde edilemeyen adaptasyonları sağlayabileceğini göstermektedir. Sporcular için KAK antrenmanının anlaşılmasındaki bir başka mevcut sınırlama ise, mekanizmaya ait bilgilerin çoğunun rekreasyonel olarak aktif veya antrenmansız bireylerden derlenmiş olmasıdır. Antrenman durumu egzersize tepkiyi etkilediğinden, sporcunun KAK egzersizine verdiği tepkinin karakterize edilmesi gereklidir. Bununla birlikte, KAK'ın fizyolojik adaptasyonları nasıl etkilediğini anlamamızı sağlayacak son gelişmeler, KAK egzersizinin iyi hedeflenmiş uyarlamalarını sağlayarak sporcuların fiziksel performanslarının optimizasyonunda kolaylıklar sağlayacaktır. Bu inceleme söz konusu kavramları araştırmakta ve sporcularda KAK antrenmanı uygulamanın etkilerini, kanıta dayalı şekilde özetleyerek bilgi boşluklarını doldurmaktadır.
