Performance Level Affects Full Body Kinematics and Spatiotemporal Parameters in Trail Running—A Field Study
Authors: Genitrini Matteo , Fritz Julian , Stöggl Thomas , Schwameder Hermann
Published: September 2023

Trail running is an emerging discipline with few studies performed in ecological conditions. The aim of this work was to investigate if and how biomechanics differ between more proficient (MP) and less proficient (LP) trail runners. Twenty participants (10 F) were recruited for a 9.1 km trail running time trial wearing inertial sensors. The MP athletes group was composed of the fastest five men and the fastest five women. Group differences in spatiotemporal parameters and leg stiffness were tested with the Mann–Whitney U-test. Group differences in joint angles were tested with statistic parametric mapping. The finish time was 51.1 ± 6.3 min for the MP athletes and 60.0 ± 5.5 min for the LP athletes (p < 0.05). Uphill sections: The MP athletes expressed a tendency to higher speed that was not significant (p > 0.05), achieved by combining higher step frequency and higher step length. They showed a tendency to shorter contact time, lower duty factor and longer flight time that was not significant (p > 0.05) as well as significantly lower knee flexion during the stance phase (p < 0.05). Downhill sections: The MP athletes achieved significantly higher speed (p < 0.05) through higher step length only. They showed significantly higher knee and hip flexion during the swing phase as well as higher trunk rotation and shoulder flexion during the stance phase (p < 0.05). No differences were found with respect to leg stiffness in the uphill or downhill sections (p > 0.05). In the uphill sections, the results suggest lower energy absorption and more favorable net mechanical work at the knee joint for the MP athletes. In the downhill sections, the results suggest that the more efficient motion of the swing leg in the MP athletes could increase momentum in the forward direction and full body center of mass’ velocity at toe off, thus optimizing the propulsion phase.
Exploring a Conceptual Framework of Koreans’ Residential Satisfaction Based on Maslow’s Human Needs: A Qualitative and Quantitative Integrated Study
Authors: Jung Sueun , Lee Jihyun
Published: September 2023

Previous studies on residential satisfaction factors (RSFs) overlooked residents’ psychological needs. To bridge this gap, we linked RSFs to the Modified Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs (MMHN) through a three-step qualitative and quantitative integrated analysis. First, RSFs were derived from the analysis of previous studies. Second, through an analytic hierarchy process and a focus group interview, RSFs and the MMHN were linked. Third, the MMHN-based model was applied to data from the 2020 Korea Housing Survey, and classification and regression tree analysis were performed to derive significant factors, which were then compared to significant factors from the conventional model. The comparative analysis results of the conventional and MMHN-based models were as follows: (1) The MMHN-based model presented significant factors in all five stages of human needs, reflecting various human needs. (2) The MMHN-based model assessed the housing needs of residents in the non-capital region in more detail. (3) The MMHN-based model investigated the differences in residential satisfaction factors between metropolitan and non-metropolitan regions more clearly. (4) Two factors influencing safety needs important in all regions in both models were deemed crucial for residential satisfaction. This study could support the customization of regional housing policies according to unique needs and life circumstances by region.

Published: September 2023

Children’s respiratory health is vulnerable to air pollution. Based on data collected from June 2019 to June 2022 at a children’s hospital in Zhengzhou, China, this study utilized Spearman correlation analysis and a generalized additive model (GAM) to examine the relationship between daily visits for common respiratory issues in children and air pollutant concentrations. Results show that the number of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), pneumonia (PNMN), bronchitis (BCT), and bronchiolitis (BCLT) visits in children showed a positive correlation with PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and CO while exhibiting a negative correlation with temperature and relative humidity. The highest increases in PNMN visits in children were observed at lag 07 for NO2, SO2, and CO. A rise of 10 μg/m3 in NO2, 1 μg/m3 in SO2, and 0.1 mg/m3 in CO corresponded to an increase of 9.7%, 2.91%, and 5.16% in PNMN visits, respectively. The effects of air pollutants on the number of BCT and BCLT visits were more pronounced in boys compared to girls, whereas no significant differences were observed in the number of URTI and PNMN visits based on sex. Overall, air pollutants significantly affect the prevalence of respiratory diseases in children, and it is crucial to improve air quality to protect the children’s respiratory health.

Published: September 2023

La pobreza aqueja a la población mundial y se da por la falta de ingresos, acceso a los servicios básicos que originan la baja esperanza de vida, propenso a la exclusión social, discriminación, de ahí se desprende que la pobreza tiene impacto perjudicial en el bienestar humano, su erradicación fue uno de los objetivos y metas de desarrollo sostenible (ODS) de la ONU. Bajo esta necesidad surge este estudio con la finalidad de analizar las dinámicas que utilizan los agricultores para obtener ingresos y sostener a su familia, en donde muchos deben hacer frente a los efectos climáticos al estar ubicados en zonas de riesgo para ello, se requiere conocer su realidad, poner en agenda la problemática existente. Se consideró para su análisis el diseño documental observacional de corte transversal, usando como fuente los datos de la INNEI en Perú, teniendo como principal categoría de análisis la agricultura familiar en el Perú, como instrumento se usó la matriz de análisis, y como técnica el análisis de fuentes. Como resultado se obtuvo que la agricultura familiar es un medio que proporcionar a diversas zonas del país alimentos saludables que favorecen el desarrollo de los habitantes, sin embargos, estas familias que labran la tierra no son valoradas ni bien consideradas en su accionar a pesar de que forman parte de crecimiento económico de Estado, esto imposibilita cumplir con los ODS, por lo que considera necesario que las familias reciban el apoyo para evitar que abandonen la agricultura familiar. Se concluyó que es de gran interés nuevas estrategias en el marco de la agricultura familiar para permitir reducir la pobreza; por lo que se requiere el compromiso del gobierno para bridarles todo el apoyo y la asistencia necesaria considerando que permitirán alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible en Perú.

A pandemia da Covid-19 trouxe diversas modificações sociais. Dessa forma, a vivência humana foi alterada em duas esferas, seja pelo fato da ameaça em si de adoecimento e morte, seja em razão das tais adoções de medidas de enfrentamento, e  nessa perspectiva, o medo impactou diversas pessoas e corroborou para o agravamento e desenvolvimento de doenças psicológicas desencadeadas pelo isolamento e também pelo luto pelos amigos e familiares que faleceram ao contrair a doença. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o impacto da pandemia da covid-19 nas doenças psicológicas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal misto, onde as hipóteses relacionadas aos eventos de “causa” e “efeito” foram investigadas simultaneamente. A pesquisa teve caráter descritivo, com análise quantitativa, desenvolvido em três etapas: (i) elaboração de revisão da literatura sobre doenças psicológicas que se agravaram ou desenvolverão durante a pandemia da Covid-19 ; (ii) elaboração do instrumento de pesquisa (questionário); (iii) aplicação do instrumento na população alvo; (iv) análise de dados. Participaram do presente estudo 144 jovens entre 18 e 24 anos e observou-se uma prevalência de 41,0% de presença de transtornos psicológicos, conforme relatado pelos participantes. Destes jovens com transtornos psicológicos, a maior parte relatou não ter observado agravamento do transtorno durante a pandemia (84,7%), enquanto 5,9% afirmam ter agravado de forma significativa. O período pandêmico da Covid-19, marcado pelo isolamento social, pelo medo da nova doença e pelas incertezas sobre a cura dessa infecção, refletiu negativamente na saúde mental da população.

Ignorance, Disinformation, Manipulation and Hate Speech as Tools of Political Power
Authors: Konieczny Marcin
Published: September 2023

The outbreak of the pandemic, military conflicts and political maelstrom have changed the constellation of the information environment, generating a noticeable increase in ignorance, disinformation, manipulation resulting in fake news, conspiracy theories and the hate speech. The phenomena are escalated and intensified by rapid technological progress, widespread digitization and its impact on all areas of life, especially political activity. Due to the changes brought about by the digital revolution, a new social formation has emerged, known as the information society represented not only by politicians and social activists. The modified architecture of digital space causes the formation of new instruments, influence factors, and harmful social phenomena – previously present and recognized, but never before so intense. This article describes and analyses the issue of ignorance, misinformation, disinformation and manipulation as potential and actual tools of political power and terrorism. The study assesses the impact of disinformation, manipulation and hate speech disseminated through social media sites and abused by politicians who use it to build and extend political power. It also examines the impact of these detrimental and injurious phenomena on the functioning of the rule of law, democracy and fundamental human rights. The article defines the terms of ignorance, misinformation and manipulation proving that a language, as a means of communication should be neutral, is actually used for promoting ideology, coming to power, serving hatred, violence, and inciting criminal acts and crimes. Thus, political players worldwide use language and media to justify violence and to spread false ideologies and improve their public image.

Mineral and heavy metal contents were measured by ICP-OES instrumental analyser. According to the results of rainbow trout meat yield and nutritional composition analysis varied between; meat yield were 57.43-66.40%, crude protein were 16.99-19.93%, crude fat were 3.07-4.18%, crude ash were 0.98-1.58%, and moisture contents were 75.10-77.65%. Mineral contents of Ca 2.66-30.58 mg.kg-1, Na 19.53-36.04 mg.kg-1, K 252.79-310.05 mg.kg-1, and Mg 120.75-137.44 mg.kg-1 were detected in the presented ranges. Detected heavy metals were As 0.42-0.56 mg.kg-1, Fe 2.16-3.69 mg.kg-1, Zn 2.67-4.69 mg.kg-1, and Se 0.17-0.77 mg.kg-1. On the other hand, Mn, Co, Cu, Pb, and Ni were not detected. As a result of the study, it was found that the proximate composition, meat yield, mineral matter, and heavy metal contents of rainbow trout vary depending on the location and size of the fish (p<0.05). However, the heavy metal levels detected in muscle tissue did not exceed the consumption limits.
Evaluation of Methods for The Acceptance of the Artificially Inseminated Queen Bee to the Colony
Authors: ÖZKÖK Arda Onur
Published: September 2023

: When artificial insemination practices in honey bees are used correctly, they actively increase yield characteristics. However, producers may experience serious problems when accepting artificially inseminated queen bees to the colonies. To minimize this problem, inseminated queen bees are first accepted into small mating boxes. Small colonies are formed, supported, and developed after admission to the new colony. In addition to spending serious effort and time, this process causes maimed queen bees and even colony losses if they fail. In the study, 21 queen bees were used, 7 of which were queen bees in each group. 7 queen bees were naturally mated. After 7 queens were artificially inseminated, they were first given to small mating colonies using the classical method. Queen bees that accepted and laid eggs were introduced to colonies with 4-5 laths of worker bees. 7 colonies were given as queen bee thimbles 2 days before hatching. Queens that had hatched were inseminated and given to the same colonies. Whether the queen bees given to the colonies in 3 different groups were accepted into the colonies was evaluated after 10 days. The egg-laying rates of the queens admitted to the colony were checked after the egg appeared. In the controls, it was seen that the acceptance of the queen bees kept individually in their own colony was less laborious and more successful than the classical method.

Stages of contemporary criminal policy development
Authors: Babayev Mikhail , Pudovochkin Yuriy
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The peculiarities of contemporary Russian criminal policy can be adequately understood only in the general context of the processes of its genesis and development. Meanwhile, the issue of chronological limits of contemporary criminal policy and its internal periodisation is still an issue of scientific interest.

Methods. Based on the ideas about the dialectical relationship between politics and law, attempts to examine the dynamics of contemporary criminal policy based only on the evolution of the criminal law are critically analysed. On the one hand, it is necessary, to provide a link between the stages of policy and specific forms of its implementation (primarily criminal law), and on the other hand, to justify an independent criteria determining the substantial evolution of criminal policy. It is reasonable to recognise the content of strategic documents in the sphere of ensuring national security. Using the logical-legal, critical-legal method and content analysis, the article presents the authors’ version of the chronology of contemporary criminal policy of Russia.

Results. It is proved that contemporary criminal policy, having begun to form in 1991 and developed within the logic of overcoming the shortcomings and contradictions of the previous criminal policy, is not a single substantive and chronological continuum. Since 2009, criminal policy has obtained qualitatively new elements, the set of which makes it possible to recognise that since that moment a new stage of modern criminal policy has emerged. At the same time, the criminal-political changes are characterised as deep and transformational, making it possible to suggest the formation and development of a new criminal policy.
Legal system of China
Authors: Sorokina Yulia
Published: September 2023

Annotation: Introduction. Currently, China occupies one of the leading positions in the world in the field of economics, culture and law. Russia has long-standing ties with China, which are currently developing rapidly. Of particular interest to Russian lawyers is the legal system of China, which is truly unique. There isanorganic link between traditions and customs, on the one hand, and constant legal modernization, on the other, and the law itself is closely connected with culture. This paper poses the problem of studying the legal system of the People’s Republic of China, clarifying its genesis, considering the stages of modernization

of law, in particular civil law, and analyzing the development path.

Methodology. When performing the research, general scientific and specific scientific methods (comparative legal, specific historical) were used. Formal-dogmatic and logical-linguistic methods were also used, with the help of which the content and meaning of legal regulations are clarified.

Research findings. Traditional sources of social regulation are considered, namely, customs that cover all spheres of public life. The comprehensive influence of Confucianism and Confucian principles is shown.

The paper reveals the ways of forming “li” norms which are the basis of people’s behavior. The article analyses formation of the modern Chinese legal system, which takes shape in the process of reception of Roman-Germanic law, Anglo-Saxon law, more precisely, its American version, Confucian norms and Marxism. Particular attention is paid to the development of civil law and civil law regulations; issues of harmonization of Western institutions and customs established in the society are considered.
The era of courts in the political and legal transformation of Russia: ideas and realities
Authors: Ochered'ko Viktor , Ocheredko Oleg
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The author, proceeding from the understanding that the discussion and construction of the image of the future makes it possible to find answers to the challenges of the time, invites you to discuss the idea of the «era of courts» expressed in Russia. The development of the conceptual foundations of the judiciary development is an element of the formation of the law of the future, the contours of the future political and legal sphere of the country.

The discussion of the era of courts in Russia is carried out in the context of the analysis of the complex and contradictory process of institutionalization of the judiciary. The author understands this process as the acquisition by the judiciary of its inherent legal nature within the framework of filling it with adequate legal content of the organizational forms and legal statuses enshrined in this area and identifies a number of stages in the process. The era of courts is considered as a new promising stage in the institutionalization of the judiciary, within the framework of which it’s legal nature will be most fully realized, and its place and role in the transformation of the political, legal and socio-economic spheres of Russia have been changed.

Methods. The research is based on the use of general scientific, private scientific and special methods of cognition. The work uses historical-legal, comparative-legal, formal-legal methods. In the course of the study, a rather rarely used prognostic method was applied.

Results. The paper examines the factors underlying the formation of a new stage in the institutionalization of the judiciary, its substantive characteristics are predicted, in particular, derivation from institutional and political factors, basing the judiciary in the eyes of society and power structures on high public authority the courts going beyond their traditionally understood jurisdiction, including the referral to the courts of controversial issues of an overtly political nature and significance, transformation of the existing model for resolving social conflicts by supplementing the traditional political model with a significant judicial element.

The article characterizes the author’s understanding of the role of the judiciary in social development as a driver of growth, as an institution, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the functioning of the established legal forms of social and economic turnover, and legal limits to the activity of power structures.

The author carries out a formal legal measurement of the steps taken to institutionalize the Russian judiciary, primarily within the framework of the updated Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is stated that the judiciary in modern conditions does not fully manifest the legal nature inherent in it, ensuring sustainable and dynamic development of the country.

Published: September 2023

In this study, the CaO adsorbent was prepared by using local waste eggshell as a raw material. The influence of preparation parameters including calcination temperature, calcination time and particle size of eggshell powder on the adsorption surface area were investigated. By means of statistically experiment design, the interesting parameters were investigated by a full 23 factorial design. The prepared sorbent material was characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET). The results showed the particle size of eggshell powder greatly affected the BET surface area. By applying the prepared condition of 149 μm in particle size, 6 h of calcination time and 1,000oC calcination temperature, the obtained CaO adsorbent yielded the highest in BET surface area of 5.023 m2 g-1. The CO2 performance test in the fluidized bed reactor with 12% V/V CO2 in N2 balance also revealed that the local waste eggshell can be used as CO2 adsorbent. The CO2 carrying capacity of the highest BET surface area sorbent was 0.011 g CO2 g-1 sorbent at 700°C carbonation temperature.

Published: September 2023

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. Modern medicine has no
foolproof way of reversing or treating this condition. Complementary and alternative modes of therapy have come to the centre stage for their
potential helpful role in management of such chronic illnesses. Music, with its healing properties, has been known to be a stress buster if used with
precision. Objectives: Present case-control study aims to investigate the impact of music therapy (MT) on glycaemic control and overall wellbeing in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Twenty- four participants diagnosed with T2DM were recruited and divided into two
groups. The music therapy group (A) and the control group (B). The group Aunderwent ten weeks of structured music therapy sessions along with
standard oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs), while the group B received only standard oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) without music intervention.
Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), post prandial plasma glucose levels (PPPG) and self-reported measures of
psychological well-being and stress assessment were assessed. Results: After ten weeks of music therapy, the music therapy group exhibited a
signicant reduction in HbA1c levels and in the FPG levels. Stress scoring scale measurements indicated improved mood, reduced stress, and
increased overall satisfaction with diabetes management in the music therapy group in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: Music shows
promise as a complementary intervention for diabetes management. This is evident in this study, by improved glycaemic control and psychological
well-being in the music therapy group. Incorporating music therapy into standard diabetes care may augment the diabetes management programme
and ultimate patient satisfaction.

trophoblastic neoplasia was conrmed by post suction HPE report . Out of which 9 patients had invasive mole and 3 patients had choriocarcinoma
subsequently. Among 58 patients, 38( 65.51 %) patients had beta- HCG value more than 1,00,000 IU/ml. Mean pre-suction beta HCG was
3,06,181 +/- 4,53,172 IU/ml. Mean time to undetectable beta-HCG post suction was 92.5 +/- 50.79 days. Majority of them had A positive blood
group ( 34.48 %) and were primigravida ( 51.72 %). Out of the 58 patients, 25 (43.1%) of them received single agent chemotherapy either with
actinomycin or methotrexate and 12 (20.7%) patients were treated with EMA-CO regimen ( etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin,
cyclophosphamide, vincristine). 4 ( 6.9 %) patients not responding to single agent with elevated BHCG were treated with dual agents. 17 ( 29.3%)
of them required only observation. There was no mortality observed in this study. pati Conclusion: ents with GTD have to be properly risk stratied
and timely referral to an experienced tertiary care center can make a difference in bringing down morbidity and mortality.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Salivary gland lesions are common lesions of the head and neck region. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary gland
tumors is accurate, simple, rapid, inexpensive, and harmless to the patient and also well compared with biopsy. Objectives: (i). To study the
incidence, and age vs. sex wise distribution of salivary gland lesions. (ii) To study cytological features of major salivary gland lesions and
categorize them into benign and malignant neoplasm on FNAC and their comparison on biopsy. Materials and Methods: As a part of study 90
cases of different age groups were selected from Nov 2013 to Nov 2015 at Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Darbhanga. Fine needle
aspiration was done at the Department of Pathology after thorough clinical examination. Relevant histories were taken. FNAC smears were made
and few slides were immediately xed in 95% alcohol for PAP staining and few were air dried for MGG (May-Grunwald Giemsa) staining.
Results: By FNAC, out of 90 cases, approximately 61% cases were non-neoplastic among which 85.5% cases were of sialadenitis. Among
neoplastic lesion 77.14% cases were benign and 22.86% cases were malignant. Commonest benign and malignant tumors were pleomorphic
adenoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma, respectively. Biopsy was done on 20 cases of neoplastic tumor. The diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in
salivary gland tumor are as follows- sensitivity-75%, specicity-93.75%, positive predictive value-75%, negative predictive value-93.75% and
accuracy was 90%. Conclusion: FNAC is an useful diagnostic procedure because of its immediate result, high diagnostic accuracy (90%in the
present study) and lack of complications

Introduction: Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among woman in India as well globally. TNBC is more prevalent among younger women
and has poor survival. Molecular analyses have revealed TNBCs is biologically heterogeneous. With no targeted agents available, treatment
options were limited. Recently PARP inhibitors immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody are being utilized Objectives: To study the
epidemiological prole and clinicopathological characteristics among patients of triple negative breast cancer. This is a Materials And Methods:
retrospective study carried out at a Tertiary Cancer Care Center in South India. Case records of all breast cancer patients registered in 1 year were
reviewed and patients with TNBC were selected. Patient's characteristics, histological features, molecular prole and treatment along with
outcomes were analysed. A total of 392 breast cancer patients were registe Results: red during the period of one year, while case records were
available for 380 patients, the latter data was analysed for the study. 22.6% (86/380) of total patients were TNBC. Median age of presentation was
52(30-82) years. The most common presenting symptom was left sided breast lump. The frequency of Early breast cancer, Locally advanced breast
cancer and Metastatic breast cancer was 33.72% (29/86), 50% (43/86) and 16% (14/86) respectively. Most of the patients 83.72% (72/86) had
high-grade tumor. Invasive ductal carcinoma was the predominant histology. 30.23% (13/43) patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy
(NACT) amongst those with the locally advanced ca breast. There were three pathological complete remissions, two patients defaulted after
NACT. Data was not available for two patients while the rest were stable disease. Metastatic disease was seen in fourteen patients. Most of the
patients 83.72% (72/86) had visceral metastasis, while bone metastasis was seen in six (42.85%). TNBCs are highly aggressive Conclusions:
subtype with limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Incidence in our study is similar to that mentioned in some western literature while
Median age at presentation and stage of the disease were higher. More studies are needed as this may allow for a deeper understanding of the disease
in our country

The purpose of this project is to mitigate and solve issues regarding health care services such as rehabilitation and specific health guidance while alleviating spatio-temporal, economic, and cognitive constraints by establishing remote technology foundation. There are four themes in this project titled “Multimodal XR-AI (XR powered by AI) platform development for tele-rehabilitation and the reciprocal care coupling with health guidance.” In theme #1, we have been developing MR3 (Multi-Modal Mixed Reality for Remote Rehab) devices consisting of Wear and Mannequin for supporting detailed assessments of customers’ physical functions and tactile interaction respectively. The central issue of theme #2 is to support intrinsic motivation for rehabilitation and exercise training through XR technologies as in virtual co-embodiment and hand redirection. In addition, we have also been investigating how to deal with one-to-many (a small number of providers) and zero-to-many (no providers) situations. Theme #3 has aimed on establishing AI technology foundation for creating, monitoring progress of, and updating tele-rehab programs mainly for the upper limb. Systems for always-on monitoring during daily life and work developed in theme #4 is expected to be served as a common foundation for various tele-healthcare services.
