Published: November 2022

Background Postoperative health education in fracture patients in a structured manner can affect several preoperative and postoperative factors such as pain. Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Health Education based on the Health Belief Model on pain in fracture patients at the Bahteramas Regional General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province.
Methods The research method used was pre-experiment with pre-test-post-test design. The Health Belief Model was given to the sample using video media for 60 minutes given 1 day after surgery. Total samples were 29 all post-operative invoice patients with non-probability sampling technique, consecutive sampling type. The data were processed descriptively and the Wilcoxon test.
Results The results showed that there was an effect of postoperative health education based on the health belief model on pain in fracture patients at the Bahteramas Regional General Hospital at a value of ? value = 0.000 <? = 0.05, before giving the intervention the mean pain scale was 7.00 with a standard deviation of 0.756 after giving the intervention there was a decrease in the mean pain scale, namely 5.17 with a standard of 1.167 with a mean decrease of 1.83.
Conclusion Health education interventions based on the health belief model can reduce the pain scale of postoperative fracture patients.
Asociaciones de mujeres agropecuarias, mediación y crisis política en Argentina (Córdoba, 1995-1997)
Authors: Carini Gabriel Fernando
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la emergencia de asociaciones agrarias de mujeres en el interior de Argentina durante la segunda mitad de la década de 1990. Se priorizan algunas dimensiones de análisis como aquellas ligadas a la estructuración de las demandas de estos colectivos, a su relación con otras entidades agrarias, a las diversas estrategias de mediación política implementadas y a los discursos que se esgrimieron en esos procesos. Para ello recuperamos, desde un enfoque eminentemente cualitativo, un conjunto de fuentes que nos permiten arribar a una mejor comprensión del problema planteado.
Entre conflictos, temores y denuncias. La construcción de identidades políticas en espacios locales de la gobernación de Córdoba (1814-1815)
Authors: Cantera Carmen Susana
Published: November 2022

Este artículo focaliza su atención en espacios subordinados a la gobernación de Córdoba durante los años 1814-1815. La elección de tal coyuntura responde a las tensiones locales y supralocales que dieron lugar a la intervención oficial, originada en rumores de conspiración, en sospechas de beneplácito con los triunfos realistas o en la connivencia con prisioneros españoles remitidos al interior del territorio del ex virreinato. A partir de un abordaje cualitativo de fuentes éditas e inéditas el trabajo propone analizar las tensiones que se develan en los espacios interiores a partir de la presencia de prisioneros y confinados españoles y su vinculación con conflictos subyacentes. Más que verdaderas amenazas contrarrevolucionarias las querellas dan cuenta de la competencia política y económica que trasponía los márgenes de las entidades urbanas locales e implicaba a diferentes instancias gubernativas. Asimismo, la apelación a una retórica revolucionaria legitimaba las prácticas políticas y habilitaba la construcción de representaciones identitarias al tiempo que se instituía la figura de la otredad política ante la mínima sospecha de actitudes contrarias al “espíritu patriótico”.
Los pueblos, entre la defensa del autogobierno y el riesgo de disgregación: el caso de San Luis (1810-1820)
Authors: Tejerina Marcela Viviana
Published: November 2022

El trabajo aborda la dinámica territorial de la ciudad de San Luis entre su incorporación al proceso revolucionario rioplatense y la configuración de la provincia del mismo nombre a principios de 1820. Tal proceso da muestras de un pueblo que, afianzado en su derecho al autogobierno fue configurando una soberanía que no contradecía su voluntad de evitar el riesgo de disgregación. La pregunta es, bajo qué términos y en qué condiciones. A fin de responder a estos interrogantes profundizamos en los fundamentos políticos y económicos que lo guiaron en cuatro instancias decisivas: el reconocimiento de la Primera Junta; la representación en la Junta Grande; el mandato al representante a la Asamblea del año XIII y la segregación de la gobernación de Cuyo. Para su análisis recurrimos a variadas fuentes documentales éditas, así como a documentación inédita proveniente del Archivo General de la Nación. A partir de su interpretación verificamos las exigencias materiales que lo condicionaron, así como las aspiraciones de autogobierno que lo sustentaron.
Peronismo y star system
Authors: Lindenboim Federico
Published: November 2022

Este artículo busca reconstruir las transformaciones que acontecieron en el campo del espectáculo entre 1946 y 1955. Además, se propone considerar a las estrellas como mediadores entre gobierno y sectores populares para la difusión de una visión de mundo, como un grupo de intelectuales de nuevo tipo. Para ello, recurre a herramientas de los estudios sobre medios, cultura, sociedad y política, con premisas de la Sociología de la Cultura y la Historia de los Medios. Se analizaron las revistas del espectáculo, Radiolandia, Antena y Sintonía, y también correspondencia de la Subsecretaría de Informaciones, ubicada en el Archivo General de la Nación. Se concluye que el peronismo generó un profundo proceso de heteronomización al interior del campo del espectáculo. Esto implicó una transformación de las trayectorias de consagración, así como los capitales y atributos puestos en juego. También se muestra las diversas formas en que las estrellas contribuyeron en la construcción hegemónica.

En la sociedad digital actual, los smartphones o teléfonos inteligentes son una herramienta tecnológica fundamental en nuestro quehacer diario; y no solo como medio de comunicación. También nos despertamos con el móvil, miramos el correo, examinamos el WhatsApp, atendemos las redes sociales, escuchamos música, consultamos la agenda, leemos las noticias, etc. En definitiva, el móvil se ha convertido en un elemento fundamental en nuestras vidas; y mucho más entre la juventud. Así pues, en la medida en que podamos introducir el móvil a las aulas, siempre de forma controlada, el alumnado se sentirá mucho más cómodo, y esto permitirá que el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje sea mucho más atractivo y, por ende, más provechoso. La simulación de procesos físicos a través de laboratorios virtuales sería una vía de integración de estos dispositivos en el aula. Como veremos a continuación, también se pueden utilizar los smartphones de los propios alumnos como instrumento de medida en prácticas de laboratorio reales (fuera del mundo virtual) gracias a sensores que llevan integrados estos dispositivos.
Adaptación de los indicadores RRI para la evaluación socioambiental de los Centros Tecnológicos de la Comunidad Valenciana
Authors: Melon Mónica García
Published: November 2022

El estudio de la integración social de la ciencia y la innovación, así como la responsabilidad de los actores del sistema de ciencia, tecnología e innovación con esta integración, es un tema que cada vez requiere mayor protagonismo. Actualmente se plantea la cuestión de cómo se pueden modificar las estructuras o los actores del sistema de ciencia, tecnología e innovación y, por tanto, cómo se pueden diseñar e integrar prácticas responsables para inducir el cambio institucional. Los Centros Tecnológicos, como agentes del ecosistema de innovación, son organizaciones de investigación privadas y sin ánimo de lucro que cuentan con los recursos materiales y humanos propios necesarios para llevar a cabo actividades dirigidas tanto a la generación de conocimiento tecnológico como a facilitar su explotación, ya sea por parte de las empresas existentes o generando nuevas iniciativas empresariales. Como agentes del sistema de innovación, su actividad debe contribuir al avance socioambiental en su territorio. En este trabajo proponemos una metodología basada en indicadores de RRI adaptados para evaluar la responsabilidad social de las actividades realizadas en los centros tecnológicos. La aplicamos al caso concreto de los Centros Tecnológicos de la Comunidad Valenciana. Los resultados muestran diferentes grados de nivel de madurez para cada una de las dimensiones de RRI analizadas.
Ressignificação da aura mística feminina em Agustina Bessa-Luís
Authors: Pereira Nair Fernandes , Araújo Márcia Maria Melo
Published: November 2022

No presente artigo, realizamos uma breve apresentação de Agustina Bessa-Luís, introduzindo as contribuições da autora para a literatura, com o objetivo de refletir sobre a ressignificação da aura mística feminina por meio das protagonistas Quina de A Sibila (1954) e Eugénia Viseu e Silvina do romance Eugénia e Silvina (1989). São apresentadas, em vista disso, algumas posições teóricas sobre o projeto estético agustiniano, estabelecendo relações entre a representação feminina feita por Bessa-Luís e a condição da mulher na sociedade patriarcal. Para tanto, embasamo-nos em Beauvoir (2016), Bloch (1995), Coelho (1999), Fonseca (2017), Machado (1979), Moisés (2001, 2013), entre outros. Ao tratar das representações do feminino nos seus romances, Agustina Bessa-Luís proporciona uma discussão demasiado importante acerca de estereótipos misóginos, favorecendo sua desconstrução. Nesse sentido, o projeto estético e literário de Agustina Bessa-Luís, a nosso ver, transforma o panorama da ficção portuguesa novecentista, e abre espaço para os escritos que vieram depois.
Culture and translation: the case of English and Persian languages
Authors: Afrouz Mahmoud
Published: November 2022

Translation is not merely a mater of linguistics. The major goal of the present paper is to investigate the relationship between ‘culture’ and ‘translation’. To this end, the researcher drew on a corpus from English and Persian languages. The findings indicated that although different languages, like English and Persian, employ different linguistic forms, this variety cannot be considered as a real challenge. Since during the process of translation, source text’s container (i.e. form) usually undergoes a sort of lexical, phonological, graphological and grammatical change, and source text’s content (i.e. meaning) is logically required to be held constant, accurate understanding of ST meaning and natural rendition into TL depends on the translator’s deep acquaintance with both TL and SL cultures. Resorting to a descriptive equivalent or using explanatory notes would be of great help for accurate rendition and would, consequently, lead to a deep and clear understanding of the TT on the part of the target audiences.
Mozilla in P’urhépecha: translators’ agency in a software translation project
Authors: Hernandez-Hernandez Tania Paola
Published: November 2022

In an effort to preserve and encourage the use of endangered languages, the last decade has witnessed the emergence of transnational projects funded by technology and software development companies such as Google and the Mozilla Foundation. Launched in 2012 by the Mozilla Foundation, the project ‘Native Mozilla’ is aimed at creating a more inclusive digital environment by developing web browsers and applications that will facilitate internet access and use to Latin American indigenous populations. A group of community users, translators, language teachers, developers, activists and other organizations have been particularly active in the translation of Firefox and Firefox Focus, Mozilla’s browsers for PC and Android, in 50 indigenous languages from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, and El Salvador. P’urhépecha is the main indigenous language of the state of Michoacán, Mexico. Spoken by nearly 120 000 speakers is considered as a threatened language. This article focuses on the translation project of Firefox Focus to P’urhépecha that took place from November 2014 to November 2018, and that involved the participation of P’urhépecha language and culture teachers, and students and alumni of the BA in Intercultural Language and Communication. In addition to describing the merits and shortcomings of the project, we will examine the translation and the training process. We will be arguing that the limited literacy in P’urphépecha shaped the role played by the working languages, thus influencing their translation choices and strategies.

Fish collagen peptides and its encapsulation
Authors: Kewat Anil , Singh Ajit Pratap , Sharma Madhuri , Mishra Priti
Published: November 2022

In the last decade, more research has been conducted in order to find a better way for utilizing the waste product generated from food processing industries. The increasing demand of industrial by-products is one of the main reasons for the conversion of these wastes into valuable products. Among the different valuable products from the waste, the extraction of collagen could be a better way of utilizing the wastes, due to their effective applications in biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. The most abundant sources of collagen and gelatin are land-based animals, such as cows and pigs. However, the extraction of collagen and gelatin from non-mammalian sources such as fish has been highly influenced in current society due to some religious and disease transmission issues. Many studies have dealt with the extraction and physicochemical, functional properties of collagen from fish wastes. The present work is a compilation of information on encapsulation of collagen from fish processing wastes.
Sleep duration and level of salivary C-reactive protein in adolescent students studying in different school start timing
Authors: Chandrakar Dipti , Pradhan R. K.
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate the association of adolescent sleep duration and day time sleepiness with salivary CRP level among school students studying in different school start timings. A total 488 healthy school students of adolescent age (12-14yrs), participated in the present study. Both boys and girls of 7th and 8th class having 3 different school start timings (7:30 am, 8:30 am and 10:00 am), not taking any type of medication previously were included. After taking consent from respective schools and parents, Epworth sleepiness scale and Munich chronotype questionnaires was asked to fill by them to get information about their sleep habitats, sleep duration during weekdays and weekends. Saliva sample of same students was taken in small vials of 1.5 ml at morning 9:00 am only. Sample was stored at 2-80C for further quantitative analysis. The test was performed using RHELAX CRP KIT. Present study reveals a significant negative correlation of C- reactive protein level with sleep duration (p<0.01). 7:30 am school students get less sleep duration (6.8 h) than 8:30 am (8.5 h) and 10:00 am (8.7 h) in weekdays. Also, the average ESS score of 7:30 am school timing students was more than other 2 delayed school start timing students. The percentage of sleep dissatisfaction was also higher in early school students (46%) than other 2 later school timings (28%, 20.09%) with almost 50% students having EDS. Statistical analysis of data revealed a significant positive correlation between CRP level with daytime sleepiness (ESS score) and sleep debt (p<0.01). In conclusion, earlier school start timing students are more sleep deprived with higher ESS score than delayed school start timing students. This chronic sleep deprivation is leading to increase in the level of CRP in saliva indicating CRP as a potent indicator of sleep deprivation. The findings of the present study suggest that delaying of school start timing will not only increase the sleep duration of students but also decrease the level of CRP with improvement of sleep quality and health of these adolescents.

Published: November 2022

Background and study aims: Small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is a safe and efficient method for diagnosis of small-bowel diseases. Since its development, different models have appeared. The aim of this study was to analyze which of the different models of SBCE has the best diagnostic yield.

Patients and methods: Extensive medical literature research was reviewed, using MESH terms, searching studies comparing different SBCE types. We analyzed the diagnostic yield of all the comparisons and when there were 2 or more studies that compared the same model of SBCEs, a meta-analysis was performed.

Results: Ten eligible studies including 1065 SBCEs procedures were identified. The main indication was occult gastrointestinal bleeding in 9/10 studies. Two of them included anemia, chronic diarrhea and/or chronic abdominal pain. The indication in one article was celiac disease. In 9 studies, different types of SBCEs (MiroCam, Endocapsule, OMOM and CapsoCam) were compared with PillCam (SB, SB2 and SB3). Three studies compared MiroCam vs PillCam and CapsoCam vs PillCam, while two studies contrast Endocapsule vs PillCam. None of the SBCEs show superiority over PillCam [OR 0.78 (95%CI;0.60-1.01)]. One study compared SBCEs other than Pillcam (MiroCam vs Endocapsule). Nine studies did not find statistical differences between SBCEs, one showed better diagnostic yield of Mirocam compared with PillCam SB3 (p=0.02). The difference between these SBCE was not replayed in the metaanalysis [OR 0.77 (95%CI;0.49-1.21)].

Conclusions: Despite the appearance of new SBCE models, there are no differences in diagnostic yield; therefore, SBCE endoscopist’s performance should be based on experience and availability.
5-year mortality of alcohol-related cirrhosis: patients die just as much but not in the same manner
Authors: Kaze E , Henrion J
Published: November 2022

Background and study aim: Patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis have a poor short-term prognosis. We aimed to determine whether the 5-year mortality of alcohol-related cirrhosis has changed over the past two decades in our institution.

Patients and methods: From January 1995 to December 2014, 932 cirrhotic patients who attended the hepatology outpatient’s clinics of our institution were consecutively listed in a registry. From this registry, 565 patients had alcohol-related cirrhosis and were the subject of this study. 16 patients were excluded because they were loss to follow-up and 114 patients were excluded because the diagnosis of cirrhosis was made more than 2 years before the inclusion in the registry. We separated the 435 remaining patients into two cohorts collected during two similar period of 10-year duration, but 10 years apart: the cohort 1, patients included in the registry from 1995 to 2004 (n = 206) and the cohort 2, patients included from 2005 to 2014 (n = 229). The 5-year mortality was assessed in both cohorts and the precipitating events leading to death were compared.

Results: From the 206 patients in the cohort 1, 80 died within 5 years after the diagnosis of cirrhosis (Group A) compared to 83 patients from the 229 patients in the cohort 2 (Group B) (Cohort 1: 39 % vs Cohort 2: 36 %, p = 0.6). Patients in Group A died more often from gastrointestinal bleeding than patients in Group B (Group A: 30 % vs Group B: 9 %, p = 0.003). Patients in Group A died less by sepsis than patients in Group B (Group A: 1.5 % vs Group B: 14 %, p = 0.009).

Conclusions: The 5-year mortality rate in patients with alcoholrelated cirrhosis has not changed however, the circumstances of death have changed.

Authors: Kinuthia Jane Muthoni , Wambua Peter Phillip , Kiiru David Muraga
Published: November 2022

The performance of university academic staff has become an issue of concern as different governments continue to push for quality higher education globally. It is expected that universities contribute to national development by offering first-class professionals in various fields. This study sought to investigate the effect of occupational stress interventions on the performance of academic staff in selected public universities. The study was guided by: the person-environment fit theory, cognitive dissonance theory as well as broaden and build theory. Moreover, the study was anchored on the philosophical approach of positivism. The study adopted an explanatory design and a cross-sectional survey. Inferential and descriptive statistics were then used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics were given in terms of percentages, frequencies, and measures of central tendency. Inferential statistics were used to gauge the nature and extent of relationships between variables by using regression analysis at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings show a positive and significant relationship between occupational stress intervention and the performance of academic staff.
Critical Review of Literature on Effect of Occupational Stress Interventions on Performance of Academic Staff in Kenyan Universities: A Research Agenda
Authors: Kinuthia Jane Muthoni , Wambua Peter Phillip , Kiiru David Muraga
Published: November 2022

This article is a critical review of both theoretical and empirical literature on the concept of the effect of occupational stress interventions (OSI) and academic staff performance in Kenyan universities. The review was informed by the fact that there exists limited research on this topic in the Kenyan context hence this relationship is not adequately understood. In the theoretical review section, the paper reviews four theories in relationship to the proposed study variables i.e., person-environment fit theory, job-demand-control-support theory, broaden and build theory, and cognitive dissonance theory. From the empirical literature review, the paper proposes the studying of the mediating and moderating effect of psychological capital and social support respectively on the relationship between the independent and the dependent variable. A conceptualization that hypothesizes that OSI directly affected academic staff performance and is mediated by psychological capital, while social support moderates the relationship is proposed. The proposed study assumes that the performance of academic staff depends on the practical implementation of OSI, social support, and the psychological capital of the academic staff.

Technical note: High density mapping of regional groundwater tables with steady-state surface nuclear magnetic resonance – three Danish case studies
Authors: Vang Mathias , Grombacher Denys , Griffiths Matthew Peter , Liu Lichao , Larsen Jakob Juul
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Groundwater is an essential part of the water supply worldwide and the demands on this water source can be expected to increase in the future. To satisfy the needs and ensure sustainable use of resources, increasingly detailed knowledge of groundwater systems is necessary. However, it is difficult to directly map groundwater with well-established geophysical methods, as these are sensitive to both lithology and pore fluid. Surface nuclear magnetic resonance (SNMR) is the only method with direct sensitivity to water and it is capable of non-invasively quantifying water content and porosity in the subsurface. Despite these attractive features SNMR has not been widely adopted in hydrological research, the main reason being an often-poor signal-to-noise ratio, which leads to long acquisition time and high uncertainty on results. Recent advances in SNMR acquisition protocols based on a novel steady-state approach has demonstrated the capability of acquiring high quality data much faster than previously possible. In turn, this have enabled high-density groundwater mapping with SNMR. We demonstrate the applicability of the new steady-state scheme in three field campaigns in Denmark where more than 100 SNMR soundings with approximately 30 m depth of investigation were conducted. We show how the SNMR soundings enables us to track water level variations at the regional scale and we demonstrate a high correlation between water levels obtained from SNMR data and water levels measured in boreholes. We also interpret the SNMR results jointly with independent transient electromagnetics (TEM) data, which allows us to identify regions with water bound in small pores. Field practice and SNMR acquisition protocols where optimized during the campaigns, and we now routinely measure high-quality data on eight to ten sites per day with a two-person field crew. Together, the results from the three surveys demonstrate that with steady-state SNMR it is now possible to map regional variations in water levels with high quality data and short acquisition times.
Between Hospitality and Hostility: A Derridean Reflection on “the Refugee”
Authors: Swazo Norman K.
Published: November 2022

Every philosopher who is concerned with practical rationality and the public import of philosophy assumes a politico-philosophical responsibility for his or her words, thoughts, and deeds. More often than not, this is a function of his or her place and time in history as well as the press of current events that claim the philosopher’s solicitude so as to intervene at least with the force of thought and words, if not with deeds. Yet, as philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Albert Camus have argued, thinking is itself always the essential action that is needed in times of momentous decision, despite the seeming absurdity of events.

Authors: Serrano Caballero Enriqueta
Published: November 2022

La Unión Europea como actor en la arena política internacional ha consolidado su presencia a través de su acción exterior y de las políticas que conforman a esta.  La igualdad de género y su transversalización forman parte de los principios que le proporcionan identidad y proyección al exterior, por ello, la Unión ha incorporado estos principios en su derecho primario y políticas.
Como parte de su política de desarrollo, la Unión Europea junto a la Organización de Naciones Unidas lanzaron la Iniciativa Spotlight, la primera iniciativa mundial dedicada a eliminar todas las formas de violencia contra las mujeres y niñas y las niñas en el mundo. Esta investigación cuestiona el grado o nivel de actorness y poder normativo que la Unión Europea ejerce a través de la implementación de la Iniciativa Spotlight en México. El objetivo de esta investigación es exponer de forma sucinta la Iniciativa Spotlight – resultados de la primera fase del programa 2019-2020 en México – junto a las nociones conceptuales de actorness y poder normativo de la Unión Europea, para explicar su influencia como actor internacional.

Forty nine male football referees participated in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups as experimental group (EG, n = 24) and control group (CG, n = 25). An eightweek CST program was implemented in the EG. The CG subjects participated in their respective sport training routine. 10m., 20m sprint, pro-agility, vertical jump (VJ) and long jump (LJ) were measured both before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the eight weeks. Anaerobic power (AP) was calculated using Lewis formula. Paired samples ttest was used for statistical analyses. There were significant improvements in 10m, 20m, VJ and AP between pre-test and post-test of EG (p>0.05). There were significant improvements only in 20m. sprint for CG between pre-test and post-test (p<0.05 ). It was found that the eight-week CST in addition to specific trainings of football referees had positive effects on their 10m., 20m. sprint and VJ jump. However, it was thought that this effect was not directly associated with CST and that this development occurred since referees already had an intense training program based on speed and anaerobic power. This thought was supported with literature. Core stabilization tests performed before and after CST to football referees in future studies will give positive results in terms of increasing the reliability of results.

and mental training programmes are applied to athletes in different types of sports. It has to be researched what particular effect mental training can have on running performance during training. To this purpose, 19 students from a German university took part in a controlled study assessing running performance with and without mental training intervention for eight weeks. There was a difference between meters completed per training session in the female intervention and control group (5119.70 ± 272.72 m vs. 4858.80 ± 551.70 m, p ≤ 0.02, η2 = 0.14) and a by trend difference between meters completed per training session in the male intervention and control group (5781.20 ± 437.27 m vs. 5963.40 ± 709.09 m, p ≤ 0.09, η2 = 0.09). Students in the intervention group displayed a higher increase in meters completed per training session (males p ≤ 0.00, r = 0.42 vs. controls p ≤ 0.03, r = 0.40; females p ≤ 0.00, r = 0.52 vs. controls p ≤ 0.03, r = 0.24). Findings suggest that mental training can effectively enhance running performance and that females respond better to the intervention.

This study aimed to examine the effects of two different defensive based playing formations (3-Defender formation and 4-Defender formation) on both the reference and the opponent teams\' running activity profiles. 8 official matches (n=4, 3-Defender formation; n=4, 4-Defender formation) of Galatasaray football team (Turkish Super League) and opposition teams performed with two different playing formations were monitored. The sample matches were monitored and analyzed using a multiple-camera computerized tracking system. Running activity data variables obtained from the software were analyzed in 5 different categories (total running distance in kilometers, mean speed in km.h-1, high-intensity running (20 km.h-1 to 24 km.h-1) distance in meters, sprint (>24 km.h-1) distance, sprint numbers. The results of this study indicate that running activity profiles of reference and opposition teams generally do not differ (p >0.05) according to the different game formation of the reference team. Only the reference team\'s total running distance was higher (p <0.05) in the 4-Defender formation than the 3-Defender formation (2.52%).

Authors: Poteko Kaja , Capranica Laura , Doupona Mojca
Published: November 2022

This paper starts from the recognition that the media plays an important role in the context of dual career (DC) and seeks to establish the starting points and foundations for further research through a scoping review of the existing academic literature dealing with the relationship between DC and the media. 14 scholarly articles are analysed in more detail and classified into three basic groups according to their main focus: (1) media representations, (2) media consumption, and (3) social media. The analysis of the articles in the first group problematizes one-sided media coverage that emphasizes the sports context but neglects all others, and draws attention to comprehensive and multi-layered media representations. The media consumption group highlights specific media functions that are useful at the level of understanding and decision-making regarding the promotion of DC. The articles in the third group highlight the mechanisms and techniques of effective communication in social media, taking into account the aspect of content co-creation and interactivity. The overview can be seen as a foundation from which we can draw in further efforts to raise awareness of the concept of DC through the media, just as it can serve as a base from which we can continue to think about the connection between DC and the media and the useful potentials that the media can offer to DC.

The aim of this research was to examine the body height of Montenegrin adults - students of the University of Montenegro of both sexes, and the foot length which was used as an alternative to estimating the body height. The nature and scope of this study was to analyze 713 individuals (370 men, aged 21.78±2.13 and 343 women, aged 21.01±1.57). The protocol of the ISAK was used for anthropometric measurements. Means and standard deviations were obtained. The t-test was used to compare the means of foot lengths and body heights between the sexes. The relationship between body heights and foot lengths was determined by using simple correlation coefficients and their 95% confidence interval. A linear regression analysis was then performed to examine the extent to which foot length can be a reliable predictor body height. The results have shown that Montenegrin males are 183.23±7.16 centimeters tall and have a foot length of 26.85±1.55 centimeters, and Montenegrin females are 168.38±6.78 centimeters tall and have a foot length of 24.13±1.29 centimeters. In accordance with previous studies, it has been confirmed that Montenegrin adults are the second highest nation in Europe, with both sexes. It was also confirmed that foot length reliably predicts body height for both sexes.

The parallel bar dip is one of the most commonly used calisthenic exercises. However, a recommended elbow angle in terms of activation patterns has not yet been studied. The aim of this study is to examine the activation values of the pectoralis major and triceps muscle groups during parallel bar dip at different elbow angles. Ten male volunteers (age: 25.1 ± 3.9 years) with regular exercise habits participated in the study. During the parallel bar dip, the pectoralis major, lateral triceps and long triceps muscles were examined at elbow angles of 75°, 85° and 95°. The movement was standardized using the metronome (60 beats.min-1) and evaluated in three phases (eccentric = 2 seconds, isometric = 1 seconds, concentric = 2 seconds). There was no statistically significant difference between the angles for pectoralis major (p>0.05). Significant differences were observed in triceps muscle groups, especially in favor of 75° in the isometric phase (p<0.05). The greatest activation in terms of phases was seen in concentric contraction for all muscles. This research has shown that the reduction of the elbow flexion angle has a positive effect on the activation of triceps muscle group. However, since there are some methodological limitations (such as biomechanical markers), it can be said that future research should improve these findings.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODERN FORMS OF MARKETING, BRANDING, AND SALES IN THE FITNESS INDUSTRY
Authors: Vučković Vojko
Published: November 2022

The fitness center industry is growing year after year and marketing is becoming more challenging. Especially in recent years, when communication is shifting to digital channels. We have reviewed all research resources that have studied the relationships between digital marketing, branding and sales in the fitness industry from 2010 to 2020. Three different databases (Pubmed, Sciencedirect, Ebscohost) and grey literature identified 482 potential articles, of which 28 were relevant. We found researchers strongly recommend fitness centres use digital channels and social networks to communicate with their members. The researchers cited Facebook as a great way to create value for the fitness centre brand and indirectly increase the chances of buying fitness memberships. Instagram has a similar effect, with the fitness industry primarily advising to engage with influencers. Marketing through digital channels and technology innovations greatly contributes to branding and the sales of fitness services, so fitness centres should integrate digital marketing as a key part of marketing activities.
Պատերազմի հետևանքով Արցախի Հանրապետության ագրոպարենային համակարգի կորուստները և պետական աջակցության ծրագրերը/Losses of Agri-Food System Resulting from the War and State Assistance Programs in the Republic of Artsakh

Published: November 2022

The
main branch of the economy of the Republic of Artsakh is
agriculture, which, together with the food industry, forms the
agri-food system. Until September 27, 2020, i.e. the beginning
of the 44-day war, the agri-food system of the republic was
distinguished by high rates of development and a modern
approach to the introduction of advanced technologies.
However, as a result of the war, the system suffered heavy
losses, the restoration and further development of which is a
difficult but an inevitable process.
The purpose of this study is to assess the losses of the agrifood system of the Republic of Artsakh, identify emerging
problems and present proposals for their solution. In particular,
the possibilities of effective use of limited production potential
through innovative technologies and ensuring the food
independence of the country were emphasized. The need for
specialization of agricultural production, integration with the
agro-processing sector and the development of cooperation is
especially emphasized.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted family life, including movement restrictions, lockdowns, and business closures. Distance increases, online work, and school settings have clashed and fused for many families to produce a new normal. The goal of this study was to elaborate on how families adapted to their changing dietary environments throughout the Covid-19 epidemic. NVIVO 12 was used for coding recorded interviews and analysis, and the 13 respondents were taken as a sample, including students, job holders, business people, and professional employees. Thirty themes and sub-theme identify increased distance, improper eating patterns, online services, and screen time during meals. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the dietary environment of families in Pakistan. Families discussed how their eating patterns had been altered, and their usage of electronic devices had risen during mealtimes. Some changes may have long-term health consequences for both kids and parents. Current study implications will help families to food environment patterns and help them to follow good practices.
