Published: March 2021

Background: Although Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is used in patients of wide age ranges, there is no clear information regarding the age differences in terms of intraoperative femorotibial rotational kinematics and its influence on clinical outcomes. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the age differences in terms of postoperative clinical outcomes and intraoperative rotational kinematics and to analyze their relationship with classification according to the age group.Methods: We investigated 111 knees of patients who underwent Oxford UKA using a navigation system and divided them into two groups: elderly (aged ≥75 years; 48 knees) and nonelderly (aged <75 years; 63 knees). Intraoperative tibial internal rotational angles relative to the femur during passive knee flexion were measured using a navigation system, and clinical outcomes were evaluated using knee range of motion, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and the Knee Society Functional Score at 2 years postoperatively. The relationships between intraoperative tibiofemoral rotational angles and clinical outcomes were also evaluated in the two groups. Results: The intraoperative tibial internal rotational angle relative to the femur during knee flexion was significantly larger in the nonelderly group (13.5°) than in the elderly group (9.0°). The intraoperative tibial internal rotational angle showed a positive correlation with the pain subscale of KOOS only in the nonelderly group. Conclusion: Intraoperative rotational kinematics and its influence on clinical outcomes were different between elderly and nonelderly patients, and the tibial internal rotational angle could be a more important factor for successful UKA in nonelderly patients.

Published: March 2021

This study aimed to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for postoperative new-onset deep venous thrombosis (PNO-DVT) following intertrochanteric fracture surgery. Information on 1672 patients who underwent intertrochanteric fracture surgery at our hospital between January 2016 and December 2019 was extracted from a prospective hip fracture database. Demographic information, surgical data, and preoperative laboratory indices were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, univariate analyses and binary logistic regression analyses were performed. The incidences of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and PNO-DVT in inpatients after intertrochanteric fracture surgery were 11.5% (202 of 1751 patients) and 7.4% (123 of 1672 patients), respectively. The PNO-DVT accounted for 60.9% of the postoperative DVT. Additionally, there were 20 cases of central thrombosis (16.3%), 82 cases of peripheral thrombosis (66.7%), and 21 cases of mixed thrombosis (17.1%). And, 82.1% of DVTs were diagnosed within 8 days after surgery. The multivariate analysis revealed that age > 70 years, duration of surgery (> 197 mins), type of anesthesia (general), and comorbidities (≥ 3) were independent risk factors for the development of PNO-DVT after intertrochanteric fracture surgery. This study demonstrated a high incidence of PNO-DVT in inpatients after intertrochanteric fracture surgery. Therefore, postoperative examination for DVT should be routinely conducted for patients.

Published: March 2021

Controversy exists regarding whether the rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) differs when using livers from donation after controlled circulatory death (DCD) versus livers from donation after brain death (DBD). The aim of this cohort study was to analyze rates of HCC recurrence, patient survival, and graft survival after OLT for HCC, comparing recipients of DBD livers (n=103) with recipients of uncontrolled DCD livers (uDCD; n=41). No significant differences in tumor size, tumor number, serum alpha-fetoprotein, proportion of patients within Milan criteria, or pre-OLT bridging therapies were identified between groups, although the waitlist period was significantly shorter in the uDCD group (p=0.04). HCC recurrence was similar between groups. Patient survival was similar between groups, but graft survival was lower in the uDCD group. Multivariate analysis identified recipient age (p=0.03), pre-OLT bridging therapy (p=0.02), and HCC recurrence (p=0.04) as independent risk factors for patient survival and pre-OLT transarterial chemoembolization (p=0.04) as the single risk factor for HCC recurrence. In conclusion, similar patient survival and lower graft survival were observed in the uDCD group. However, the use of uDCD livers appears to be justified due to shorter waitlist time and similar HCC recurrence in both groups.

Published: March 2021

Background: Rice is one of the most important grain crops worldwide. The accurate and dynamic monitoring of leaf are index (LAI) provides important information to evaluate rice growth and production. Methods: This study explores a simple method to remotely estimate LAI with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imaging for a variety of rice cultivars throughout the entire growing season. 48 different rice cultivars were planted in the study site and field campaigns were conducted once a week. For each campaign, several widely used vegetation indices (VI) were calculated from canopy reflectance obtained by 12-band UAV images, canopy height was derived from UAV RGB images and LAI was destructively measured by plant sampling. Results: The results showed the correlation of VI and LAI in rice throughout the entire growing season was weak, and for all tested indices there existed significant hysteresis of VI vs. LAI relationship between rice pre-heading and post-heading stages. The model based on the product of VI and canopy height could reduce such hysteresis and estimate rice LAI of the whole season with estimation errors under 24%, not requiring algorithm re-parameterization for different phenology stages. Conclusions: The progressing phenology can affect VI vs. LAI relationship in crops, especially for rice having quite different canopy spectra and structure after its panicle exsertion. Thus the models solely using VI to estimate rice LAI are phenology-specific and have high uncertainties for post-heading stages. The model developed in this study combines both remotely sensed canopy height and VI information, considerably improving rice LAI estimation accuracy at both pre- and post-heading stages. This method can be easily and efficiently implemented in UAV platforms for various rice cultivars during the entire growing season with no rice phenology and cultivar pre-knowledge, which has great potential for assisting rice breeding and field management studies at a large scale.

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most damaging diseases of wheat globally and resistance is the effectively control strategy. Triticum boeoticum Boiss (T. monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides, 2n = 2x = 14, AbAb) accession G52 confers a high level of adult-plant resistance against a mixture of the Chinese prevalent Pst races. To transfer the resistance to common wheat, a cross was made between G52 and susceptible common wheat genotype Crocus. A highly resistant wheat-T. boeoticum introgression line Z15-1370 (F5 generation) with 42 chromosomes was selected cytologically and by testing with Pst races. In order to map the resistance gene(s), F1, F2, and F2:3 generations of the cross between Z15-1370 and stripe rust susceptible common wheat Mingxian169 were developed. Genetic analysis revealed that the resistance in Z15-1370 was controlled by a single recessive gene, temporarily designated YrZ15-1370. Using the bulked segregant RNA-Seq (BSR-Seq) analysis, YrZ15-1370 was mapped to chromosome 6AL and flanked by markers KASP1370-3 and KASP-1370-5 within a 4.3 cM genetic interval corresponding to 1.8 Mb physical region in the Chinese Spring genome, in which a number of disease resistance-related genes were annotated. YrZ15-1370 differed from previously Yr genes identified on chromosome 6A based on its position and/or origin. The YrZ15-1370 would be a valuable resource for wheat resistance improvement and the flanking markers developed here should be useful tools for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding and further cloning the gene.

We show, by single-crystal diffraction studies in laser-heated diamond-anvil cells, that Ca2CO4 orthocarbonate, which contains CO44− tetrahedra, can be formed already at ~20 GPa at ~1830 K, i.e., at much lower pressures than other carbonates with sp3-hybridized carbon. Ca2CO4 can also be formed at ~89 GPa and ~2500 K. This very broad P-T range suggests the possible existence of Ca2CO4 in the Earth’s transition zone and in most of the lower mantle. Raman spectroscopy shows the typical bands associated with tetrahedral CO44−-groups. DFT-theory based calculations reproduce the experimental Raman spectra and indicate that at least in the athermal limit the phase assemblage of Ca2CO4 + 2SiO2 is more stable than 2CaSiO3 + CO2 at high pressures.

Published: March 2021

Increasing water temperatures because of climate change resulted in population shifts and physiological responses in aquatic environments. In this study, short-term high-temperature condition effects on green algae Chlorella vulgaris were investigated at transcriptional and physiological levels. The photosystem II D1 protein (psbA) gene, a large unit of Rubisco (rbcL) gene and chloroplastic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX) gene expressions were quantified using semi-quantitative real time-PCR. The psbA gene transcription level at 45˚C for 48 and 72 h was reduced by approx. 2.22 and 2.86-folds, respectively. The rbcL gene transcription level was also reduced by 1.54 relative to the control at 72 h. Our APX gene transcriptional level results indicated that the transcription of this gene was significantly increased at 35˚C at 24, 48, and 72 h. In contrast, the cAPX mRNA transcript level was reduced by approx. 2 times compared with the control. Our data demonstrated that alteration cAPX gene expression could play an essential role in high-temperature acclimation in C. vulgaris.

Knowledge and Awareness on the Utilization of Talent Philosophy by Banks among Staff on Contract Appointment in Commercial Banks in Ibadan, Oyo State
Authors: Comfort Lawal
Published: March 2021

Commercial banks rendered financial services to customers within the community. Staffing in banks can be classified broadly into permanent and contract staff. Contract staffs are key workforce in the banking sector and their awareness, knowledge and concept of talent philosophy is very paramount. This study seeks to assess the knowledge and awareness on the utilization of talent philosophy by banks among staff on contract appointment in commercial banks in Ibadan, Oyo State. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the five local governments within Ibadan metropolis. Simple random sampling was used to select one bank each from each local government area. Base on sample size determination formula, 245 respondents were proportionately for each bank. Finding of the study revealed awareness on talent management philosophy is high (94.3%) among contract staff in commercial banks in Ibadan and 227(92.7%) of them are aware that talent management philosophy is been utilized within their organization. However, only 182(74.3%) have been trained on talent management. Knowledge of talent philosophy amount contract staff shows that overwhelming majority (96.3%) model talent as inclusive/developable; that is, that all seemingly ordinary people can become extraordinary performers through dedicated training. The Anova analysis revealed Fcal of 5.573 is significance, therefore contract staff with talent philosophy awareness will perform better than other staff that are not aware of talent philosophy within the banking industry and Fcal 5.506 is significance showing that motivating talented staff will increase their performance.

Published: March 2021

This paper presents a fast simulation model for predicting the dynamic response of a motor-pump system to startup event. The purpose is to analyze the effect of the impeller acceleration time, the final flow rate and the impeller geometry on the pump transient flow during starting operations. The motor speed and torque variations were predicted by simulating the transient law of the three-phase induction motor by adopting the d-q axes theory. The pump model was built by solving the unsteady flow governing equations with the method of characteristics (MOC). The whole model was validated with available tests from literature. Accordingly, the computation of impeller acceleration, the motor torque, the unsteady pressure and flow rate was made for various starting conditions. The results have revealed that during its starting time, the pump hydraulic transients are well influenced by the motor speed acceleration, the flow inertia and the impeller geometry. Through the analysis of the simulation results, the conclusion was that the accuracy of the present method is reasonable, and it can be used for assisting pumping system design.
Effects of a Rehabilitation Program Using a Patient-Personalized Exergame on Fear of Falling and Risk of Falls in Vulnerable Older Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Group Study
Authors: Lapierre Nolwenn , Um Din Nathavy , Igout Manuella , Chevrier Joël , Belmin Joël
Published: March 2021

Background

Older adults often experience physical, sensory, and cognitive decline. Therefore, they have a high risk of falls, which leads to severe health and psychological consequences and can induce fear of falling. Rehabilitation programs using exergames to prevent falls are being increasingly studied. Medimoov is a movement-based patient-personalized exergame for rehabilitation in older adults. A preliminary study showed that its use may influence functional ability and motivation. Most existing studies that evaluate the use of exergames do not involve an appropriate control group and do not focus on patient-personalized exergames.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Medimoov on risk of falls and fear of falling in older adults compared with standard psychomotor rehabilitation.

Methods

This is a serial, comparative, randomized controlled group study. Both groups (n=25 in each) will receive psychomotor rehabilitation care. However, the methods of delivery will be different; one group will be exposed to the Medimoov exergame platform, and the other only to traditional means of psychomotor rehabilitation. The selection criteria will be (1) age of 65 years or older, (2) ability to answer a questionnaire, (3) ability to stand in a bipedal position for at least 1 minute, (4) score of 13 or greater on the Short Fall Efficacy Scale, and (5) stable medical condition. An evaluation will be made prior to starting the intervention, after 4 weeks of intervention, and at the end of the intervention (after 8 weeks), and it will focus on (1) risk of falls, (2) fear of falling, and (3) cognitive evaluations. Physical activity outside the session will also be assessed by actimetry. The outcome assessment will be performed according to intention-to-treat analysis.

Results

The protocol (2019-11-22) has been approved by the Comité de Protection des Personnes Nord-Ouest I–Université de Rouen (2019-A00395-52), which is part of the French national ethical committee. The study received funding in February 2020. As of October 2020 (submission date), and due to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 10 participants out of 50 had been enrolled in the study. The projected date for the end of the data collection is December 2021. Data analyses have not been started yet, and publication of the results is expected for Spring 2022.

Conclusions

The effects of psychomotor rehabilitation using the Medimoov exergame platform on the risk and fear of falls will be evaluated. This pilot study will be the basis for larger trials.

Problemas en torno al conocimiento conjunto y separado de la acción indemnizatoria civil ex delicto respecto del proceso penal chileno
Authors: Peña Calderón Natanael
Published: March 2021

El ordenamiento procesal penal vigente permite el conocimiento conjunto de acciones civiles, entre las que se encuentra la indemnizatoria de perjuicios, con la acción penal, siempre que la primera derive de la comisión del delito. Se presentan así dos vías: el juicio separado y el simultáneo entre la responsabilidad civil y la responsabilidad penal. ¿Genera algún beneficio, o por el contrario, una desventaja la elección de una u otra alternativa? Este trabajo, pretende, para resolver la cuestión anterior, ofrecer un panorama normativo de la regulación disponible sobre el juicio de responsabilidad civil que deriva de la comisión de un ilícito criminal. En seguida, analizar las problemáticas que se presentan al decidir por el juicio civil indemnizatorio y penal simultáneo. Posteriormente, abordaremos una cuestión denunciada por parte de la doctrina, a propósito de la improcedencia del juzgamiento de responsabilidad civil posterior a la dictación de una sentencia absolutoria del imputado en el proceso penal.
An Inferential Account on Theoretical Concepts in Physics
Authors: Anta Javier
Published: March 2021

In this paper we develop an inferential account on the meaning and reference of theoretical concepts in physics, mainly based on the pragmatic notion of ‘inferential validity’. Firstly, we distinguish between empirical meaningfulness and theoretical significance as two different modes of meaning, wherein the former depends on consistently encoding experimental values, as proposed by Chang (2004), and the latter on being semantically coherent with other concepts. Secondly, we argue that each of these contributions to the validity of inferences imports a causal and representational mechanism of reference-fixing, respectively. Finally, we will rely on entropy concepts as our case study.
(DES)VELANDO A AMAZÔNIA EM H’ERA, OBRA DE MAX MARTINS
Authors: Guimarães Mayara Ribeiro , Vieira Juliana De Fátima Reis
Published: March 2021

Max Martins é um poeta em que seu ponto crucial é o trabalho com a linguagem e nesse exercício o movimento de alternância de algumas imagens é persistente em sua obra, sendo o que buscamos compreender. Dessa maneira propomos uma leitura e análise de alguns poemas da obra de 1971, H’era, poemas como Travessia I (1926-1966), tendo em vista os movimentos de inserção e subversão dos traços amazônicos. Os estudos de José Ortega y Gasset sobre a desumanização da arte contribuem para a perspectiva do trabalho, assim como Rolan Barthes e suas formulações acerca da encenação da escrita. Em suma, propomos um caminho interpretativo pautado na imaginação poética de Max em coadunar os elementos, sobretudo, homem e natureza, e nos jogos linguísticos e literários de mostrar e disfarçar traços tido como regionais, mas que realçam em sua obra uma experiência de fusão.

Entre 2012 e 2014, analisamos as 36 matérias com indígenas exibidas nos telejornais locais no estado do Pará. Constatamos que na maioria delas prevalece o discurso do indígena selvagem. Neste artigo, analisamos discursivamente uma dessas matérias e convidamos um grupo de indígenas para falarem de sua posição sobre a mídia. A partir do método arqueológico proposto por Michel Foucault, mostramos as redes de memórias que constituem discursivamente o indígena na grande mídia brasileira. A história da maior rede de comunicação do Brasil e suas afiliadas visibiliza por que até a eleição de Jair Bolsonaro o lugar reservado aos indígenas nos telejornais foi de selvagem, violento, ou do “bom selvagem”, incapaz de cuidar de si.

Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever uma proposta didático-pedagógica, voltada para a Educação Básica, que envolve estudo sobre a Região Amazônica a partir da música regional, levando em consideração o entendimento de gênero discursivo como artefato mediador de aprendizagem. A temática se mostra relevante para o ensino pelo compromisso assumido com a criação de condições de constituição de um sujeito social mais crítico e reflexivo, respeitando as diferenças culturais existentes no território brasileiro e preservando o meio em que vive. Escolhemos trabalhar a música regional por ela estar mais próxima da realidade do educando e se configurar como elemento de desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências tanto no nível linguístico quanto no discursivo. Desde uma filiação a concepções do filósofo russo Mikhail Bakhtin, buscamos subsídios em sua teoria dialógica, que tem no conceito de gênero do discurso uma contribuição significativa para a prática em sala de aula.

As marcas do gótico na narrativa fantástica de Silvina Ocampo
Authors: Guimarães Rafael Eisinger
Published: March 2021

A escritora argentina Silvina Ocampo desenvolveu uma produção literária instigante e consistente, com especial destaque para seus sete volumes de contos, nos quais se observa a forte presença do fantástico. No entanto, além dessas características, alguns traços da narrativa gótica podem ser vistos ao longo de sua obra. Tendo em vista tais questões, pretende-se, neste ensaio, verificar como a escrita de Ocampo reconfigura alguns elementos do gênero gótico. Para tanto, este trabalho apropria-se do referencial teórico sobre o fantástico na literatura e a literatura gótica de autoria feminina, em especial as discussões levantadas por Ellen Ledoux (2017), Ellen Moers (1976), Jaime Alazraki (2001), Sarolta Marinovich (1994), Tzvetan Todorov (2014), dentre outros. Com base nesse arcabouço teórico, será realizada a leitura de alguns contos da escritora argentina, com o intuito de identificar e analisar a presença de marcas do gótico em sua obra.
RISO E HORROR: O GÓTICO CÔMICO DE EDWARD GOREY
Authors: Micoanski Thomazine Angelica
Published: March 2021

Dentre as subdivisões do gótico encontra-se o gótico cômico, que une horror e humor, com criaturas e histórias que se apoiam no gótico, mas que em vez de medo, resultam em riso e divertimento. Tais características parecem ser recorrentes nas obras de Edward Gorey, autor e ilustrador norte-americano. Portanto, esta pesquisa visa compreender se, e como, o gótico cômico pode ser identificado em duas obras do autor, nas quais as protagonistas são criaturas monstruosas. Esta pesquisa bibliográfica se baseia em estudiosos do gótico e do humor, como Bergson (1983), Propp (1992), Lovecraft (1987) e Horner e Zlosnik (2000). Em síntese, conclui-se que embora as obras apresentem aspectos góticos através dos cenários, da ambientação e das criaturas monstruosas, em vez de suscitar o medo, elas rompem com as expectativas e levam o leitor ao riso, apresentando aspectos do gótico cômico.

to be more prevalent among subjects at high risk for HBV infection and
with concomitant liver disease. The aim of this study was to assess the
prevalence of OHBI in group of HIV-1+/HBsAg- Turkish patients. Methods:
Ten centers in Turkey have been included in the study. Gender, age,
occupation, place of residence, treatment status, clinic,
immunodeficiency panel, eliza tests, hemogram, biochemistry and
coagulation laboratory results of the patients were evaluated
retrospectively. Results: The number of HIV-infected patients followed
in these centers is 3172. The mean age of the patients was 37.2 ± 13.1,
and they were 235 males (84.5%) and 43 (15.5%) females. 278 (99.6%)

Introduction: The risk of developing left atrial (LA) thrombi after
initial catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and requirements
for imaging evaluation for thrombi screening at repeat ablation is
unclear. This study aimed to assess the occurrence of thrombus
development and frequency of any imaging study evaluating thrombus
formation during repeat ablation for AF. Methods: Of 2,066 patients
undergoing initial catheter ablation for AF with uninterrupted oral
anticoagulation, 615 patients underwent repeat ablation after 258.0
(105.0-882.0) days. We investigated which factors were associated with
safety outcomes and requirements for thrombi screening. Results: All
patients underwent at least one imaging examination to screen for
thrombi in the first session, but the examination rate decreased to 476
patients (77%) before the repeat procedure. The frequency of imaging
evaluations was 5.0%, 11%, 21%, 84%, and 91% for transesophageal
echocardiography and 18%, 33%, 49%, 98%, and 99% for any imaging
modality at repeat ablation performed ≤60 days, ≤90 days, ≤180 days,
>180 days, and >1 year after the initial
procedure, respectively. Three patients (0.5%) developed LA thrombi at
repeat ablation due to identifiable causes, and no patients had
thromboembolic events when no imaging evaluation was performed.
Multivariate analysis revealed that repeat ablation >180
days, non-paroxysmal atrial arrhythmias, and lower left ventricular
ejection fraction were predictors of the risk of thrombus development.
Conclusions: The risk development of thrombus at repeat ablation for AF
was low. There needs to be a risk stratification for the requirement of
imaging screening for thrombi at repeat ablation for AF.

CUERPO, ESCRITURA Y SILENCIO: LA LETRA COMO REFUGIO EN LOS ABISMOS DE LA PIEL Y VERTEDERO —O LA SUMA DE TODAS LAS COSAS— DE LOURDES MERAZ
Authors: Romano Hurtado Berenice
Published: March 2021

Este artículo presenta a la joven autora mexicana Lourdes Meraz y su novela corta Los abismos de la piel. Se hace una lectura a partir de la vinculación entre el cuerpo enfermo y la identidad. La novela muestra el recorrido de un cuerpo femenino desde la luminosidad que gana en sus encuentros amorosos, hasta el quiebre entre corporeidad y conciencia que el personaje padece a partir de la enfermedad. El uso de un lenguaje particular, rico en imágenes y figuras, trata de mostrar textualmente cómo se borra la memoria y, con ella, cómo el lenguaje se va volviendo más elemental. En este punto, poner en diálogo con el poemario de esta autora, Vertedero —o la suma de todas las cosas—, ha permitido subrayar la importancia de la escritura como tema en ambos textos.

Nos proponemos en este artículo analizar dos obras recientes que tienen como tema común la utopía de la inmortalidad alcanzada a través de los medios tecnólogicos, esto es, la mind uploading, la “subida”: el cuento del mexicano Alberto Chimal “La segunda Celeste”, incluido en Manos de lumbre (2018), y la novela escrita en forma de crónica Sinfín (2020) del argentino Martín Caparrós. Nuestro objetivo es demostrar que las dos obras tratan el tema de la “subida” como una utopía en el sentido dado a este término por Matthew Beaumont, es decir, una mirada sobre un presente historizado desde la perspectiva de un futuro fantástico, y reflejan más bien las contradicciones de la presente visión sobre lo humano que una cala real en un futuro implacablemente opaco. Al mismo tiempo, mostraremos que en las dos obras se transparenta la paradoja observada por Fredic Jameson respecto a la imposibilidad de distinguir entre la utopía y la distopía en el momento en que se trata de indagar el futuro. Por fin, intentaremos poner de relieve que, en los dos textos, la utópica “subida”, que es uno de los objetivos fundamentales de la agenda transhumanista, se contempla con el escepticismo derivado de una visión pesimista sobre un sujeto que accede a la tecnología sin ser capaz de superar sus debilidades humanas, por lo cual, fracasa en su intento de convertirse en “post-humano”.
“The Case… of the Danilevsky Family Nobility”: Dates and Mysteries of Birth
Authors: Zhuravel Alexander V.
Published: March 2021

On the basis of the sources available today the article examines a number of issues related to the history of the Danilevsky family and shows the new possible directions of the searches. The study specifies the dates of birth of N.Ya. Danilevsky and his father, Major General Ya. I. Danilevsky. The life path of his father determined on the basis of the “Case... of the Danilevsky Family Nobility” (1834), allows us to better understand the conditions of the childhood of the future scientist and thinker. It turns out that the Mishin family, the nobles of Livny, specifically brothers of his mother, provided substantial, versatile assistance to the Danilevsky family. Finally, the question of the origin of the Danilevsky family is examined. Although it has not yet been possible to establish the lost connection between generations, data has been found about previously unknown relatives of the founder of the clan, sotnik, and then the judge of the Izyum Cossack Regiment Danila Danilovich Danilevsky (c. 1649–1719) – about brother Lukash Danilev, son Mikhail and some other persons... This opens new avenues for further genealogical research.

The article substantiates the thesis about the significance of Russian thought, which developed in the 19th – early 20th century the methodological approach based on the principles of lax systematization, rejection of extremes and content completeness. The author brings forward the problem of insufficient research into the hidden influence of Russian thought on Western philosophy of the non-classical period by comparing the philosophical and historical views of N.Ya. Danilevsky and O. Spengler. The author states his vision of the goals and results of further research work of the community of Russian philosophy historians in the context of the deep crisis of modern Western philosophy, which has not only theoretical, but also practical orientation, associated with the actu
Cyclism as the Core Idea of Russian Thought in the Second Half of the 19th and the Beginning of the 20th Centuries
Authors: Mochshelkov Evgeny N.
Published: March 2021

The article examines the ideas and concepts of the cyclic development of human thought and history, which were developed by Russian thinkers in their works in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The author shows that in the said period of domestic thought development the cyclic worldview spread in the most important spheres of humanitarian knowledge: philosophy and political teachings (B.N. Chicherin, 1826–1904), social theory and sociology (N.Ya. Danilevsky, 1822–1885) and K.N. Leontiev, 1831–1891), and finally, the theory of cycles (waves) in world socio-economic dynamics (N.D. Kondratyev, 1892–1938). Thus, Russian thinkers laid the conceptual foundations of the original cyclic paradigm of social dynamics, which later were further developed by a number of Western scientists (O. Spengler, 1880–1936; A.J. Toynbee, 1889–1975, etc.).

Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.A survey was conducted to investigate the profile of selection of infant-carrying methods and the prevalence of related muscle fatigue at different parts of body and its intensity in Hong Kong females. 266 mothers were interviewed. 93 mothers reported that they had carried their infants outside home in the period of seven days prior to the survey. 85 mothers carried their infants in front of their chest (Chest_C) while 8 mothers carried their infants at the back (Back_C). It seemed that mothers generally used Chest_C method when their infants were light and with small body size. When infants became heavier and bigger, infant carrying by mothers was less frequent and the method of Back_C instead of Chest_C was used. It was also noted that although the occurrences of severe muscle fatigue at shoulder and low back were reported in Chest_C and Back_C groups, the low back fatigue intensity in Back_C group was likely to be less than that in Chest_C group. Such findings implied that Chest_C method might possess higher risk of musculo-skeletal disorders by comparing with Back_C method. Further study for investigating the physical stress on low back muscles elicited from Back_C and Chest_C infant carry methods is suggested.在華人社會，婦女仍是嬰兒的主要照顧者。為了加強親子感情及增加活動，揹嬰兒進行戶外活動越來越被現代媽媽所採用。揹嬰兒時，嬰兒的體重可能對媽媽身體造成疲勞。本文試圖探討不同揹嬰兒的方法對媽媽各身體部位所造成的疲勞程度的影響。

Survey on Females' Constraints in Physical Recreation Participation
Authors: CHEUNG Pui Yee
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.Female of all age groups and socio-economic status do face a number of constraints in pursuing physical recreation activity. The present paper aimed to study the constraints of female's physical recreation participation, and the relationship of perceived constraints and the level of participation between different occupation status, education level, and marital status. Two hundred and eight females aged 18 to 60 were invited to fill in the Physical Recreation Participation Questionnaire (PRPQ) to identify their perceived constraints and level of physical recreation participation. Results indicated that there were certain constraints factors, such as psychological constraints, accessibility constraints and time constraints, more related to the constriction in female physical recreation participation. When analyzing the constraint dimensions with different status towards participation frequency, the result was not necessary negatively related. Only housewives and middle education level women with lower perceived constraints demonstrated higher physical recreation participation than their counterparts.在參與康樂性質的體能活動時，無論年紀多大或有何種社會地位，女性均會面對不同的參與阻礙，本研究旨在了解其中的參與阻礙與女性的職業、敎育水平及婚姻狀況的關係。208位女士被邀請填寫「參舆體育康樂活動問卷」(PAPQ)。結果顯示心理因素、場地因素及時間因素為主要的參與阻礙；但是，參與阻礙與參與頻率並沒有呈反相關。另外，經常參與活動的家庭主婦及中等程度學歷的女士均面對較低的參與阻礙。

Curl-Up Test: A New Abdominal Muscular Endurance Test
Authors: CHNGU Pak Kwong
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract in English only.Sit-up is a popular exercise for both athletes and health fitness participants. It is almost universally accepted as an effective training method of abdominal strength and endurance. The 1-minute timed sit-up (modified sit-up) test, modified from the straight-legged sit-up with hands locked behind the head, is widely used in the health fitness testing such as Physical Best of AAHPERD, National Children and Youth Fitness Study (NCYFS & NCYFS II) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and Survey of Health Related Fitness & Lifestyle of Working Population Aged 20-39 in Hong Kong conducted by Hong Kong Physical Fitness Association etc. Although the modified sit-up was assumed to be a safer test than the straight-legged sit-up, researchers are still not satisfied with it. Are there any problems with sit-up test? Is the curl-up test developed by Robertson and Magnusdottir (1987) safer and more valid and reliable than the modified sit-up test? All such queries are being discussed in this article.
Sports Participation For Hong Kong Women And Hong Kong Initiatives
Authors: LEUNG Mee Lee
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.Historically, sports was globally understood within the context of a masculine value system both in the Eastern and Western Societies. The 'Ying' and the 'Yang' stand for female and male in the Chinese culture implied that the female are more fragile and submissive where as the male being more aggressive and stronger. With 90% of the population in Hong Kong being Chinese, the cultural belief in a Chinese society that "Women's place should be in the home" has confined women to attend household chores and child bearing activities. In early 20th century, with the changing role of women in China and especially in Hong Kong, women are more active that they were a decade ago. Women are equal nowadays in a wide range of activities because they are better educated, play a more committed role and live a more active life. Thus, their participation in sports has increased in the past decade both in recreation and in competition. This paper attempts to report on Hong Kong women's participation in major games and also to recommend strategies which can further enhance women's place in sports.歷史上，無論東西方社會，運動廣泛地被視為屬於雄性的項目。正如中國以陰陽來代表女男一樣，女性被認為較順從和脆弱的，而男性則較強壯和具攻擊性。在九成人口都是中國人的香港社會中，「女性應該留在家裡」的觀念曾規限著女性須要處理家務和照顧孩子的責任。踏入20世紀，女性對社會事務的參與也開始積極起來。時至今日，香港的女性在多方面都能跟男性般獲得平等對待。她們不單止得到較佳的敎育機會， 在社會的角色也越來越重要。因此，無論在運動比賽及健體活動上，女性的參與比十年前的大為提高。究竟香港女性過去在主要運動競賽上的參與情況和未來女性在運動發展上方針應該如何?這都是本文探討的綱領。
