Indvandring, offentlig mening og politisk teori
Authors: Rostbøll Christian F
Published: December 2018

Regarding issues of immigration, there is a sharp contrast between Danish public opinion and public policy on the one hand and liberal political theory on the other hand. This article analyzes whether it is a problem for liberal theory that argues for more open borders to be so far removed from public opinion and vice versa. Considering issues of realism, epistemology, and democracy it is discussed how directly policy-related political theory ought to be.
Liberal nationalisme og politisk teori
Authors: Scavenius Theresa
Published: December 2018

Politically and morally, liberal nationalism is a controversial political theory. Modern political theory tends to argue in favour of a liberal-egalitarian, multi-cultural or cosmopolitan theory. Distinguishing himself from mainstream political theory, David Miller claims the necessity of integrating a national-theoretical argument into political theory. In this paper, I critically examine Miller’s argument. First, I distinguish between a strong and a weak version of the idea that nationality and national fellowship are constitutive of individual identity. Secondly, I discuss Miller’s argument for the moral relevance of national obligations. It is shown that the national aspect of obligations is arbitrarily chosen and does not vindicate a moral relevance of nationality. Finally, the argument for national responsibility is taken into consideration. National responsibility is an innovative idea within modern political theory, i.e. theories of collective responsibility. e strength of the argument of national responsibility is dependent on the assumption that national fellowship is a morally relevant entity. An assumption, however, that is insu ciently justi ed.
Kommunalreformens konsekvenser: Kommunalpolitikernes rolle, borgernes lokaldemokratiske opfattelse og den administrative organisering
Authors: Olsen Asmus Leth
Published: December 2018

This article reviews the empirical literature on the consequences of the municipal amalgamations under the Danish Municipal Reform of 2007. Specifically, three areas of research are reviewed: the role of local coun- cilors, the perception of local democracy among citizens and administrative organizational changes. First, the research points to lower perceived influence among local councilors of amalgamated councils. However, these trends have not affected the degree of voluntary retirement among councilors or the strong consensual norm of Danish local politics. Second, studies point to substantially reduced internal and external political efficacy among citizens in amalgamated municipalities. Furthermore, the negative effects seem to be dependent on the degree of amalgamation. Third, the amalgamations have had varied impact on organizational changes with increased horizontal division of the administration and the number of citizen service centers on one hand, and at the same time no shift in the use of contracting out or the use of internal contracts. Finally, the article points to consequences of the reform of which we still need to gain a better understanding.
Is Russia an Arctic Status Quo Power?
Authors: Nonboe Morten Larsen
Published: December 2018

Russian foreign policy in the increasingly important Arctic region reflects an ambiguous combination of assertiveness and cooperation in accordance with international law. Against this background, the existing literature on the Arctic tends to polarise around revisionist and status quo interpretations of Russian foreign policy in the region. The present paper contrasts the divergent interpretations through case studies of the Russian flag planting on the North Pole seabed in 2007 and Russia’s participation at the Ilulissat Summit in 2008 which can be seen as ‘crucial’ cases for the competing interpretations. Overall, the case studies provide support for a modidied version of the status quo interpretation which incorporates insights from the revisionist interpretation.
Skår i (arbejds-) glæden? Intrinsisk motivation og elevplaner i folkeskolen
Authors: Nielsen Susanne Strandbjerg , Jakobsen Christina Vang , Andersen Lotte Bøgh
Published: December 2018

According to Motivation Crowding theory, the effect of extrinsic motivation factors (such as command and financial incentives) on intrinsic motivation depends on the perception of the regulation. If employees see an extrinsic intervention as supportive, intrinsic motivation is expected to increase, while it is expected to decrease if it is seen as controlling. Combining a survey of 257 teachers with 10 semi-structured interviews, we test this expectation for a specific type of command, namely the requirement that Danish public teachers make student plans. Does the teachers’ perception of student plans affect their intrinsic motivation? We find that teachers who see student plans as supportive have significantly higher intrinsic motivation than teachers who see them as controlling. This implies that public managers and political decision makers should take the employees’ perception of a regulation into consideration when designing and implementing new regulation in the public sector.

Dobbeltspillet

Published: December 2018

The European Union (EU) has from its very beginning had the objective to grant its workers a right to free movement across the European borders. A secondary effect has since then been the right to bring the family along. As the Union has evolved, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has functioned as the primary generator of rights when it comes to securing the union citizens’ right to family reunification. On the other hand, the Danish legislators have been tightening the domestic rules regarding family reunification for numerous years. In other words, there has been a clear discrepancy between EU law and domestic law on the family reunification area for a long time.The article analyzes this discrepancy while trying to gain an insight into the EU’s effect on Danish family reunification policies.

Kampen om sandheden – Klimavidenskab som aktivisme
Authors: Glerup Cecilie , Degnbol Marie Chimwemwe
Published: December 2018

This paper shows how political cultures in uence the use of scienti c data in the construction of critique among climate change activists. Based on an ethnographic study of the Danish NGO, „ e Climate Move- ment in Denmark’s“, steering committee, it is shown how the members carefully choose speci c scienti c references in their work. ey are chosen based on two criteria. First, the committee’s perceived ideas about the references’ ability to convince the Danish population about the severe consequences of climate change. And second, the references’ ability to unite all citizens across political and social barriers in the battle. In its way of using science, the committee assumes that the entire nation would be united in solidarity, if they were not blinded by what we (with thanks to Marx and Engels) have chosen to call ‘false con ictuality’; the idea that con icting scienti c statements divide and confuse ordinary people which prevent them from protesting. Following this, it becomes the NGO’s task to enlighten and thereby unite. e focus on creat- ing consensus among citizens with di erent backgrounds and con icting interest is interpreted as a typical instance of traditional Danish ‘Consensus Culture’ where agreement is seen as a precondition for change. But the paper nally argues that it might prove di cult to create solidarity solely based on carefully chosen scienti c statements without any reference to cultural visions for a better common future.
En (for) hurtig kinesisk opstigen til stormagt. Hvor er pauseknappen?
Authors: Sørensen Camilla Tenna Nørup
Published: December 2018

What kind of great power is China? e dominant analysis in the West is that Beijing is increasingly acting in a self-con dent and even aggressive way pushing for its own demands and interests. With point of depar- ture in a characteristic of China in the international system today, this article argues that developments in Chinese foreign and security policy in recent years also re ect an insecure, inward-looking and reactive China still struggling with how to handle its new international role and the new and complex challenges and rising expectations that come with it. Consequently, Chinese foreign and security policy is currently in a process of reconstruction to better t China’s new international role as well as the changed domestic conditions and demands. Beijing’s di erent handling of the ongoing con icts in Libya and Syria illustrates this process.
Experimental Methods in Psychology and Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience
Authors: Habekost Thomas , Nielsen Julie Hassing
Published: December 2018

Laboratory experiments have always been important in psychology and are as commonly used today as ever due to the dominating position of cognitive research in international psychology. is trend has been fur- ther strengthened by recent developments in cognitive neuroscience, where experimental studies are central. Recently, experimental studies within the eld of a ective neuroscience have also received attention. Not- withstanding, experimental methods remain controversial also in psychology, and one should carefully weigh their advantages against their drawbacks. is article provides an introduction to experimental psychology, including basic principles and illustrative examples. e article focuses on the experimental method in its purest form, the controlled laboratory study, and discusses the value of this scienti c approach with regard to ecological validity and socio-cultural factors. Furthermore, the article describes the use of experiments within cognitive and a ective neuroscience as well as the inherent challenges of individual versus social perspectives when conducting micro level laboratory experiments.
Juletræet i Kokkedal. En sag om religion, nation og politik
Authors: Warburg Margit
Published: December 2018

The Christmas tree a air in Kokkedal began in November 2012, when the Muslim majority in the board of a housing association decided to abandon the tradition of having a Christmas tree on the premises. e decision caused an unusual stir in the press and divided politicians and the public on issues of Danish culture, integra- tion and religion. Many of the public voices disagreed about whether the a air had to do with religion or with a Danish national tradition. is disagreement is explained by the concept of civil religion, which sociologists of religion have introduced for analysing cases when the nation is claimed to stand under a particular divine providence. In Denmark, the Christmas tree harbours references to both the nation and to religion, and it is an important civil religious symbol. is explains why the a air became hotly debated all over Denmark.

Since the introduction of performance contracts in central government, the Ministry of Finance has regularly launched new publications containing recommendations for the design and implementation of management by objectives and results. In the fall 2014 the Ministry of Finance presented a new model for management by objectives and results in central government. is article presents an interview with central actors involved in development of the new model. e interview focuses on the background for the revisions of the existing concept for management by objectives and results, the contents of the new model, and why the new model is expected to be able to solve the challenges, the existing concept is said to be characterized by. In the new model, the Ministry of Finance recommends that steering documents should contain fewer targets, more precisely de ned targets as well as they should be anchored in the top management.
Hvorfor benchmarker kommunerne?
Authors: Brødsgaard Marie-Louise Frølich , Gjørling Mathias
Published: December 2018

In the municipal sector, the use of benchmarking is widely promoted but little is known as to the e ects of the use. us, why do the six biggest municipal cities in Denmark partake in a voluntary cooperation to develop key performance indicators? Seeking the answer in the municipalities’ own reasoning, we analyze the intentions with the cooperation and the observable e ects. Our analysis shows that the intention with the cooperation is a use that leads to changes in results, e.g. improved cost e ectiveness, but that the actual e ects are limited to the organizational actions speech and decisions. is inconsistency between intentions and the observable e ects begs the question: why do the six municipalities continue to benchmark? We conclude that the municipalities partake in the cooperation because politicians and senior administration o cials demand the continuous production of the reports due to both a logic of consequentiality and a logic of appropriateness.

Befolkningens holdninger til markedsgørelse af den offentlige sektor: erkendelsesinteresser og forklaringsmodeller i politologien
Authors: Lindholst Andrej Christian , Hansen Morten Balle
Published: December 2018

Privatization policies in the public sector can still, after 30 years on the public management reform agenda, cause outcries among Danes. ere is, however, a genuine lack of theoretically informed research that explores public opinion on privatizations. In this article we review the scarce international literature with the purpose of providing an informed theoretical foundation for future research on the public opinion on privatizations. We nd that the research eld is characterized by a limited number of studies, four research interests as mo- tivation as well as four explanatory factors as foundation for exploring the formation of public opinions. e research eld is furthermore biased toward certain forms of privatizations as well as certain policy sectors. We recommend that the research eld should be further developed by a future focus on under-explored forms of privatization and a greater attention to comparisons across di erent policy areas.
Hvordan gik det med lokaldemokratiet?
Authors: Welling Hansen Sune
Published: December 2018

The article reviews studies that have examined the local democratic consequences of the Danish Structural Reform, with focus on studies that have used the municipal amalgamations (which were part of the aforementioned reform) to study the relationship between the size of political systems and the quality of democracy in those systems. The reviewed studies tend to find negative effects of municipal size on the quality of local democracy, although the effects are weak to moderate in size. These results are consistent with the existing local government literature on the relationship between size and democracy, which also has shown that size does not matter much for the quality of democracy. If there indeed are differences between local democracies of different sizes then this has more to do with the characteristics of those who choose to live in these communities, than it has to do with size.
YouTube and the Role of Digital Video for Transitional Justice in Syria
Authors: Wessels Joshka Ivanka
Published: December 2018

International media access is extremely limited in Syria and many human rights organisations rely on individual citizens and activists to provide them with evidence that could indicate war crimes and crimes against humanity. The role of YouTube and digital video for transitional justice in Syria is the central theme of this research paper. Research methodology is based on systematic observation of video clips on YouTube, visits to Syrian grass root audio-visual media centres and semi-structured interviews with Syrian video activists on the ground in Turkey and Syria. Fort this study, a conceptual thematic categorisation of eight different video-categories has been developed, based on observation, media-ethnography and regular monitoring of clips coming out of Syria since 2011 and in-depth surveillance of YouTube material uploaded between 2014 and 2015. In total 400 YouTube video clips were surveyed, analysed and monitored between 2014 and 2015. The paper assesses the feasibility of using these clips for legal evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The   paper considers the latest approaches to using and verifying digital audio-visual material and how video can be used for future transitional justice and conflict resolution.
Regional Order in the Arctic: Negotiated Exceptionalism
Authors: Exner-Pirot Heather , Murray Robert W.
Published: December 2018

Traditional theories of International Relations have thus far failed to explain the unusual degree of cooperation seen in the Arctic between Russia on the one hand, and the seven Western Arctic states led by the United States on the other.  Rather than witnessing a devolution into competition and conflict over strategic shipping routes and hydrocarbon resources, regional Arctic institutions have continued to grow in strength and number in the past several years, and transnational ties have deepened. This has prompted some observers to describe the Arctic as ‘exceptional’ – somehow immune to or isolated from global political competition.This paper argues that the Arctic regional order is exceptional insofar as Arctic states and those states with involvement in the region have worked to negotiate an order and balance of power predicated on norms such as cooperation and multilateralism. The establishment of an Arctic international society has seen great powers and smaller powers come together to form an order aimed at promoting norms and institutions not seen elsewhere in the world. By using an English School approach to understand the Arctic, we contend that Arctic international society has been deliberately negotiated in a way that promotes cooperation between Arctic states. However this order can be disrupted if Arctic international society does not take conscious steps to maintain a strong institutional framework that protects Arctic internationalism.
Hvordan skabes et alternativ? Om det radikale demokratis mulighedsbetingelser
Authors: Schou Jannick
Published: December 2018

How can an alternative to liberal democracy and neoliberalism be developed? This question has occupied a number of political theorists from the Left, including Chantal Mouffe. This paper provides a discussion of Mouffe’s notion of radical democracy by drawing on concepts from Ernesto Laclau’s discourse theory. The paper starts out by providing a detailed description of Mouffe’s model with a focus on its underlying conditions of possibility. Here, two factors are highlighted: an allegiance to ‘liberty’ and ‘equality’ and a common trust in democratic institutions. By reading these conditions through the work of Laclau, the paper argues for an increased attentiveness towards the ways in which discourses become sedimented and neutralized over time. The paper argues that Mouffe tends to downplay the role of normativity and institutions in favor of democratic practices. Highlighting these areas, this article argues, is a call for a further radicalization of radical democracy going forward.

Verification of Cau River biochemical water quality forecasted from local governments’ socioeconomic projections in Bac Kan and Thai Nguyen provinces, Vietnam
Authors: Ha Pham Thi Thu , Villeneuve Jean-Pierre , Duchesne Sophie , Hien Ha Ngoc , Bach Duong Ngoc
Published: December 2018

In this study, we made a verification of water quality between forecasted and monitoring data in 2015 to find out the differences for Cau River water quality, BOD5 concentration (5-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand). Then, an analysis on main development factors which may cause these differences was made. The results showed that in general, BOD5 monitoring concentrations are lower than forecasted median results and meet the standard QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT for surface water quality, while the forecasted concentrations in some periods are over the standard. Local government’ control of population growth in Bac Kan City is considered as one of the major reasons to make Cau River water quality better than forecasted. The statistic population data of Bac Kan City in 2015 is lower than the forecasted population: 26.19% lower than the forecasted in the low population growth scenario (S1), 28.04% in the medium population growth scenario (S2), and 29.8% in the high population growth scenario (S3). Besides, the operation of domestic wastewater treatment plant in Cho Moi Town, which was not considered in developing and assessing the impacts of population scenarios on water quality, is also considered as one of the reasons why the Cau River monitoring water quality (BOD5 concentration) is better than forecasted. This verification result is important and useful for increasing the quality of scenario development and water quality forecast in the future.
OBRAZOVANJE I ISHODI TRŽIŠTA RADA U REPUBLICI SRPSKOJ

Published: December 2018

Obrazovanje je jedan od ključnih faktora efektivnosti i brzine ekonomskog razvoja. Usavršavanje i mijenjanje društvenih odnosa zavisi najviše od znanja i nivoa obrazovanja ljudi. Moderni razvoj traži nova znanja i potreba za njima permanentno raste. Kvalitet ljudskih resursa predstavlja dinamičan element razvojne politike. Njegova mobilnost i sposobnost prilagođavanja ubrzava i unapređuje promjene. Doprinos obrazovanja je za ukupni razvoj od strateškog značaja, između ostalog i zato jer tehnološki napredak diktira razvoj ljudskog potencijala. Obrazovni sistem na našim prostorima prati problem nepodudaranja strukture školstva, obrazovnih profila i potreba privrede. Ko degradira svoj obrazovni sistem gubi i sopstvenu budućnost. Loše obrazovanje nije jedini isključivi razlog nezaposlenosti ali je činjenica da postoji snažna korelacija između ove dvije pojave kao i da obrazovanje igra značajnu ulogu u borbi protiv nezaposlenosti. Tranzicioni procesi rezultirali su krupnim promjenama u strukturi zaposlenosti. Privredni pritisci i nesigurno tržište prisililo je brojne organizacije da se okrenu fleksibilnijim oblicima zapošljavanja. Nakon analize dostupnih studija, analiza, istraživanja u sferi kretanja na tržištu rada u Republici Srpskoj, te analize dostupnih relevantnih statističkih podataka, o demografskoj strukturi, zaposlenosti i karakteristikama radne snage, neformalnoj ekonomiji, politikama obrazovanja i ishodima tržišta rada, kao i ekonoms¬kom rastu i dinamici potražnje za radom, ovaj rad odgovara na pitanje kakva su trenutna kretanja na relaciji obrazovanje-tržište rada Republike Srpske, te daje analitički pregled dostupnosti radne snage s obzirom na starosnu strukturu, obrazovnu strukturu i druge dostupne statističke pokazatelje.

New robust weighted averaging- and model-based methods for assessing trait-environment relationships.
Authors: ter Braak Cajo J
Published: December 2018

Statistical analysis of trait-environment association is challenging owing to the lack of a common observation unit: Community weighted mean regression (CWM) uses site points, multilevel models use species points, and the fourth corner correlation uses all species-site combinations. This situation invites the development of new methods capable of using all observation-levels. To this end, new multilevel and weighted averaging-based regression methods are proposed.

Compared to existing methods, the new multilevel method has additional site-related random effects that are unrelated to the observed environment; they represent the unknowns in the environment that interact with the trait. The new weighted averaging method combines site-level CWM with a species-level regression of Species Niche Centroids (SNC) on to the trait. The regressions are weighted by Hill's effective number (N2) of occurrences of each species and the N2 -diversity of a site, and are subsequently combined in a sequential test procedure known as the max-test.

Using the test statistics of these new methods, the permutation-based max test provides strong statistical evidence for trait-environment association in a plant community dataset, where existing methods show (very) weak evidence. The powers of the two new methods were similar in a simulation study based on this dataset.

Both methods can be extended i) to account for phylogeny and spatial autocorrelation and ii) to select functional traits and environmental variables from a greater set of variables.
An analysis of the mechanism of aging: endogenous viral stimulus and the deleterious effect of chronic inflammation
Authors: Ochirov Chingis
Published: December 2018

This article describes a putative mechanism of aging based on the interaction of endogenous viral particles with the receptors of the innate immune system leading to producing pro-inflammatory cytokines. The innate immune response induces a complex of signaling pathways leading to senescence or tumorigenesis. The fate of a cell is depended on the activity of the p53 tumor-suppressive signaling pathway. Chronic inflammation is characterized by upregulation of the NF-kB signaling. The NF-kB protein stimulates the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) leading to remodeling of extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix alterations induce the loss of stem cell environment and their depletion. The innate immune system also mediates the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway that inhibits autophagy and transforms energy metabolism providing cell senescence, high level of blood glucose, high lipid synthesis and mitochondrial alterations. The STAT3-HIF1 signaling pathway suppresses oxidative phosphorylation increasing ROS production and promoting the MAPK pathway leading to excessive cell proliferation. The increased ROS production causes the global DNA and histone demethylation contributing to retrotransposon reactivation whose activity leads to genome instability. However, the activity of retrotransposons may be partly explained by their role in adaptation. Among retrotransposons, endogenous retroviruses may be considered as an intrinsic stimulus for the innate immune system and are also able to avoid the adaptive immune system. Therefore, I consider endogenous retroviruses as promising targets in anti-aging therapies

Published: December 2018

The acceptance and adoption of Internet media of direct marketing by consumers in the Republic of Serbia as marketing innovations, both in terms of communication between bidders and consumers as well as contemporary purchasing methods, has been presented in this paper. The research in the field of marketing innovations mainly relates to their application by the bidders, and if there is any research on this topic from the perspective of consumers, it is not sufficiently detailed and useful to be of importance for the formulation of marketing strategies in the field of internet marketing. The methodological approach to studying this topic involves the application of a descriptive-analytical method in order to explain marketing innovations and diffusion of knowledge and technologies in internet marketing. The basis for the conducted research, which is empirical by character and has been performed in the period June-July 2017 on the territory of the Republic of Serbia by using the questionnaire survey method, was taken from the research from 2016 - the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (SORS) and the Market Research Agency MASMI. The target group are Serbian citizens - consumers aged 15 to 64 (the categories of labor-efficient population) in order to examine what their habits and preferences regarding the use of the direct marketing media are with the aim of being informed about products/services, companies and ordering/purchasing via the Internet. The sample is simple and random. The sample consists of 1532 respondents, and the statistical error is 2.5% (confidence interval 95%). When processing data and interpreting the results, SPSS was used as well as descriptive and comparative statistics (X2-test - chi-squared test, t-test, ANOVA, regression and correlation). There is a statistically significant correlation between the variables - the consumer's age and dependent variables: the frequency of web site visits on the Internet for obtaining information, the frequency of ordering products/services on the web and the frequency of visits and orders via social networks. The number of consumers in Serbia who buy online is increasing from year to year and thus companies need to focus on Internet marketing.

Background

The process of apophytism or spreading native species to human-made habitats is one of the main elements in the creation of plant cover in anthropogenic areas. Lately, an increase of anthropogenic localities with valuable flora has been observed. Apophytes are also members of the family Orchidaceae, especially from the genus Epipactis. The aim of the study was to (i) determine and compare the phenotypic variation of E. helleborine (L.) Crantz plants in anthropogenic and natural habitats, (ii) compare the genome size of plants growing in natural and anthropogenic habitats. The results reported in this study may indicate that a habitat influences morphological characteristics of plant species.

Methods

Field studies were conducted on four native stands and four stands in anthropogenic areas of E. helleborine in Poland in years 2011–2013. Biometrical analyses were performed on shoots and flowers. The flowers were characterised by 25 biometric features and measured using a Nikon SMZ 800 binocular, microscopic Moticam-1SP cameras and the MIPlus07 programme (Conbest Co.). The nuclear DNA content was determined in fresh and young leaves of E. helleborine, collected from four natural and four anthropogenic populations.

Results

We observed that in anthropogenic populations: (i) shoots were higher than shoots from natural populations, (ii) flowers differed significantly in terms of ten biometric features between habitats, (iii) the genome size of some population differed significantly between plants growing in natural and anthropogenic habitats.

Discussion

According to some researchers, the presence of phenotypic variability and the occurrence of ecotypes are adaptation strategies of plants to environmental changes. In our opinion, in the case of the studied anthropogenic habitats (roadside) in which the E. helleborine populations grew, we can talk about ecofen due to the often repeated set of characteristic features, i.e., high shoots, long inflorescence and long, broad leaves. We agree, however, that it is difficult to isolate a taxonomic unit for ecofen due to the lack of experimental research.
An exploration of the effect of proprioceptive knee bracing on biomechanics during a badminton lunge to the net, and the implications to injury mechanisms
Authors: Valldecabres Raúl , de Benito Ana María , Littler Greg , Richards Jim
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to determine changes in knee biomechanics during badminton lunges due to fatigue, lunge strategy and knee bracing. Kinetic and kinematic data were collected from 16 experienced right-handed badminton players. Three factor repeated measures ANOVAs (lunge direction—fatigue—brace) were performed with Least Significant Difference pairwise comparisons. In addition, clinical assessments including; Y-balance test, one leg hop distance and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion were performed pre- and postfatigue. The knee showed significantly greater flexion during the forehand lunge compared to backhand. In contrast, the internal rotation velocity and the knee extension moment were greater during backhand. Knee angular velocity in the sagittal plane, peak knee moment and range of moment in the coronal plane and stance time showed significantly lower values postfatigue. In addition, the peak knee adduction moment showed significantly lower values in the braced condition in both the fatigued and nonfatigues states, and no significant differences were seen for peak vertical force, loading rate, approach velocity, or in any of the clinical assessment scores. There appears to be greater risk factors when performing a backhand lunge to the net compared to a forehand lunge, and proprioceptive bracing appears to reduce the loading at the knee.
