WILL ELEVATING THE DIFFICULTY SCORES IMPROVE THE ODDS OF WINNING? THE CASE OF ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS EVENT FINALS
Authors: Chen Chih-Yu , Chen Kuang-Hui , Lu Kang-Hao , Chang Hsiu-Ching
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study was to compare the difficulty (D) scores and final scores between the qualification round and event finals round for each apparatus in 2018–2020 Individual Apparatus World Cup Series and 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. It was also to examine the association between strategy of D scores and winning a medal or not. Both male and female gymnasts who participated the event finals in 2018–2020 Apparatus World Cup Series and 2019 World Championships were the subject of present investigation. The dependent t test was used to analyze the difficulty scores and final scores. The Chi-square test was selected to test the numbers of distribution of increasing/non-increasing of difficulty scores and wining/losing a medal, and the odds ratio was also calculated. It shows that in all apparatus, there were meaningful difference in D scores between the qualification round and event finals round for both male and female gymnasts. The final scores of event finals round were significantly decreased as compared with the qualification round in men’s pommel horse, horizontal bar and women’s balance beam, floor exercise events. To elevate D scores in the event finals round of men’s pommel horse, horizontal bar and women’s floor exercise could significantly improve the odds for getting a medal. To our knowledge, this was the first study to compare the gymnast’s performance between the qualification and event finals. And we also determine the different D scores and the odds ratio of winning a medal in the event finals. When studying men’s pommel horse, horizontal bar and women’s balance beam, floor exercise events, it was prone to underestimate the scores if only the result of event finals was analyzed but without the qualification. Elevating D scores was not always guaranteed to increase the chance of winning. Coaches and gymnasts could refer to the current study to draw up the strategies for different competitions.

Published: October 2023

The aim of this study was to assess the body composition and the risk of developing an eating disorder (ED) in two groups of Spanish elite acrobatic gymnasts. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, where 130 acrobatic gymnasts aged 9 to 21 and registered with the Spanish federation voluntarily participated; 56 of them were competing at the international level and 74 at the national level. Height and weight measures were used to calculate body mass index (BMI) and skinfolds were measured to determine the percentage of body fat. The Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-3-RF) was applied to assess the ED variables. The results revealed that the majority of gymnasts presented normal weight (BMI) and a low % body fat, and the international-level gymnasts showed lower values than national-level ones. 52.6% of the gymnasts in this study were at risk of developing an ED. As regards the scales, the scores related to drive for thinness were noteworthy, especially in women competing at the international level, who reported greater concern about weight and body image. The international-level gymnasts met most of the referring criteria; in particular, most senior gymnasts met criterion 3. There was an average percentage of gymnasts at risk of developing an ED. The risk factors were more noticeable among female international-level gymnasts, who presented greater drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction.

Authors: Little Casey , Howell David , Armento Aubrey , McCarthy Amanda , Sweeney Emily
Published: October 2023

Weight concerns can have an effect on gymnasts’ quality of life. We examined the association between concerns about weight with self-reported anxiety levels and other psychosocial and menstrual health characteristics among child and adolescent gymnasts. Gymnasts between 8 and 18 years old completed an online questionnaire distributed by their gymnastics clubs. They also completed the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire. Of the 73 gymnasts who completed the questionnaire, 15% reported worrying about their weight; they were significantly older and reported higher GAD-7 scores than those who did not worry about their weight. After adjusting for the independent effect of age, worrying about weight was no longer significantly associated with GAD-7 scores (adjusted odds ratio= 1.13, 95% CI=0.98, 1.30, p=0.10), beliefs about their body size (adjusted odds ratio=6.48, 95% CI=0.84, 50.1; p=0.07), or menarche (adjusted odds ratio=0.40, 95% CI=0.04, 4.14, p=0.44). We found an association between age, anxiety, and weight concerns in child and adolescent gymnasts. Healthcare providers should screen for weight concerns and increased anxiety in older gymnasts.

Authors: Ferreira Melo de Sá Luciana , Leite Isaura , Batista Santos Amanda , Tristão Ávila Carvalho Maria de Lurdes
Published: October 2023

The jump is one of the main body elements in Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG). To perform it correctly, gymnasts must develop appropriate force and velocity levels to reach enough jump height to show the body shape during flight, as defined by the RG Code of Points. Jumping performance is influenced by the mechanical force-velocity (F-V) profile and the maximum power generated by the lower limbs. The F-V profile identification can provide a more accurate and complete mechanical representation of its capabilities and needs. This study aimed to analyse the F-V profile during the counter movement jump of RG athletes, identify the magnitude and direction of the imbalance between the two variables (force and velocity), and compare the jumping ability and mechanical variables of different age groups. Eighteen Portuguese gymnasts (average age 12.2±1.8 years) were evaluated, according to age group: beginner and youth gymnasts (G1- ages 10 to 12) and junior and senior gymnasts (G2 - ages 13 to 16), and according to the F-V profile imbalance detected. The data collection was performed after a covid-19 lockdown period. Results showed anthropometric differences between age groups but no differences in the F-V profile related variables. When gymnasts were compared according to the deficit, differences were found in variables force and velocity. Furthermore, 72.3% of the gymnasts presented force deficit, 11% presented velocity deficit and 16.6% were balanced. Considering the deficits found, the demands of the sport and of each athlete, it is essential to include strength training in the regular training routines of rhythmic gymnasts.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

The aim of the research was to examine the effects of isokinetic training on knee stabilizer strength, and whether this increases the efficiency of performing basic gymnastics vaults. A total of 60 respondents, students of the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education (average age 19.7±1.5 years, weight 75.3±2.9 kg, height 179.8±6.7 cm) were included. The subjects were divided into two groups, experimental (EG) (n=30) and control (CG) (n=30). As part of the 12-week program, the experimental group (EG) in addition to exercises within the regular classes at the university had an additional concentric isokinetic training 3 times a week on the Biodex System 3 dynamometer, while the control group (CG) only had exercises within the regular classes at the university. The results showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between (EG) and (CG), both, in increasing the strength of the knee stabilizers and in the performance of gymnastics vaults, and the strength of the knee extensors and flexors in favor of (EG). It can be concluded that the additional isokinetic training resulted in a greater increase in strength, but also a better performance of gymnastics vaults.

Background: Stigmatization also excessively upsetting the people who are suffering from Hepatitis C. In employees perspective they suffers more when those patients stigmatizes in the working environment at this point they are at risk and any exploitation from their supervisors effect worsen then in normal condition. Lack of resources, damage health and negative behaviour can directly impact the efficacy of employee. Objective: to determine the impact of supervisor support and hepatitis C stigma on employee performance with mediating effect of self-efficacy and prejudice. Methodology: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted at different private and government hospitals of the Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The sample of n=242 hepatitis C (HCV) patients with age between 25-50 years, having 5-year experience and positive with HCV were included in the study were taken during June 2020 to March 2021. The HCV stigma scale, Supervisory support scale, prejudice scale, self-Efficacy scale and employee performance scale was used for data collection. . This data was analysed by SPSS version 20. Results: The mean age of participants was 33.3 ±10.5 years. A total of n=242 (85.10%) were males and n=36 (14.90%) were females. HCV stigma has negative correlation (with r=.45 p=.05) performance of employees through increased prejudice (r=.45, p=.04) and lower self-efficacy whereas (r=.45, p=.05) supervisory support can moderate this relationship to enhance the performance at the workplace (r=.45, p=.05). Conclusion: The positive effect of Supervisor Support is clear from the results. Hence, if the Supervisor Support invades the relationship of HCV Stigma and Self Efficacy and Prejudice and their ultimate impact on Employee Performance, it alters their impact.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, we analyze in time domain the signals acquired with 32 electroencephalography (EEG) channels from 10 healthy participants obtained during the imagined speech task of words in Spanish. We performed a statistical test to determine the location in space and time of the differences produced by imagining words from two grammatical classes: decision adverbs and nouns. Based on the statistical test results and using the EEGNet convolutional neural network, we evaluated three different data window sizes for the classification of the two grammatical groups. In the larger window W1 (700ms), we obtained an accuracy of 60.1%, while in the smaller window W3(200ms), the accuracy obtained was 69.5%. This work is a first approach for the decoding of imagined speech words that are intended to be implemented in a brain-machine interface focused on patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Published: October 2023

The Black-Scholes equation is famous for predicting values for the prices of Options inside the stock market scenario. However, it has the limitation of depending on the estimated value for the volatility. On the other hand, several Machine learning techniques have been employed for predicting the values of the same quantity. In this paper we analyze some fundamental properties of the Black-Scholes equation and we then propose a way to train its free-parameters, the volatility in particular. This with the purpose of using this parameter as the fundamental one to be learned by a Machine Learning system and then improve the predictions in the stock market.

Published: October 2023

Diante das crescentes preocupações com a sustentabilidade e a busca por alternativas ecoeficientes, esse estudo consiste em avaliar o efeito da lama vermelha nos compósitos poliméricos através dos ensaios de resistência a flexão (ASTM D790-17) e flamabilidade (IEC 60695-11-10 e ASTM D635-18). Para a fabricação dos corpos de prova, empregou-se o método de fabricação manual (hand lay up), utilizando uma proporção mássica de 40% de lama vermelha, juntamente com resina poliéster insaturada isoftálica, acelerador de cobalto (1,5% v/v) e iniciador (1% v/v). A partir das análises, constatou-se que a inclusão da lama vermelha resultou em uma redução da resistência a flexão em relação a matriz plena, entretanto, a taxa de propagação da chama foi significativamente melhor que as exigências normativas, destacando o potencial dos compósitos em atender requisitos regulatórios.

Peripheral venous lactate levels substitute arterial lactate levels in the emergency department
Authors: Ibrahim Rami Mahmoud , Ghanaim Mahmood Mohammed
Published: October 2023

Background: The level of arterial lactate has been a significant indicator of studied case's prognosis. Blood gas analysis's low concordance rate between AL & peripheral venous lactate makes PVL ineffective as AL alternative. Nevertheless, PVL can be a different way to forecast studied case's prognosis, & risk of arterial puncture problems with AL can be decreased if AL range may be predicted from PVL. This can be a quick & secure test technique. Aim: To assess if VL levels may replace certain ranges of AL levels, we reviewed association among VL & AL levels in same critically sick studied cases at time of initial evaluation. Venous blood gas analysis (which lowers risk of problems related to arterial puncture required for AL measurement) can be safer & quicker test for critically ill studied cases if VL values may be utilized as substitute for AL levels. Summary: The level of arterial lactate has been significant indicator of studied case's prognosis. Blood gas analysis's low concordance rate between AL & peripheral venous lactate makes PVL ineffective as AL alternative.
DECENTRING WESTERN FEMINISM AND MANLY NATIONALISM
Authors: ŞENTÜRK Selçuk
Published: October 2023

Gender based segregations either in public and private spheres have been recurrent problem for women in Western world, however the cases of women in the “Third World” highlight the ways in which race and gender intersect, exemplifying a double form of oppression. This intersection also functions between colonialism (external) and local patriarchy (internal) mechanisms that control women as in the case of Algerian women. This article considers the ways in which Algerian women reformulated the ways of decolonising Western feminism and nationalism in the Algerian Revolution (1954-1962). As such, this paper looks at the distinct perspective, created by Algerian women with an emphasis on their implicit contribution to Western feminist scholarship. By veiling and unveiling interchangeably for national liberation movement against France, Algerian women deviate from the very definitions of Western feminism and challenges patriarchal notions of nationalism. The strategic albeit voluntary act of unveiling earns them a space that is self-representative. This space also represents the backbone of national liberation movement where colonial gaze on women, and control on men in Algeria were contested. The paper concludes that Algerian women can successfully cross national and colonial borders, and hence create a space that is beyond the definitions of Western feminist scholarship, and beyond the demands of colonial authority. The theoretical background of this paper is mainly based on the ideas proposed by Chandra Mohanty, Frantz Fanon, Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak to explore insights from transnational feminism and postcolonial theory regarding gender and nationalism.
