Teatro poshistórico y conflicto
Authors: Araque Osorio Carlos
Published: November 2017

Este ensayo es un intento por ampliar los horizontes o los contornos de lo que he denominado el teatro poshistórico. En él indago básicamente dos nuevos elementos: el cuerpo y su relación con este tipo de teatro y los escenarios que habitamos, ya sean teatrales o sociales, y su relación con la historia de nuestro país y de nuestra cultura. En los dos casos, tanto el cuerpo como la historia, han sido manipulados, de acuerdo con intereses y circunstancias políticas, económicas y sociales y es por esto que considero que deben ser vistos desde otras perspectivas y teniendo en cuenta otros puntos de vista. Incluirlos en el concepto de lo poshistórico es un esfuerzo por ir generando unos nuevos marcos teóricos y conceptuales sobre estos temas afines a las artes escénicas, pero que en principio no se abordan por considerarlos específicos de la filosofía y no del pensamiento artístico teatral.
Special Issue on Mobile AR & VR: Integrating SOTEL in Learning Design
Authors: Cochrane Thomas , Farley Helen
Published: November 2017

This special issue of AJET explores the critical educational use of the recently popularized technologies of mobile augmented reality (AR) and mobile virtual reality (VR). The advent of Pokemon Go brought the world’s awareness of mobile AR to a brief climax, and the hype surrounding the rise of affordable virtual reality technologies has been driven by social media giants Google and Facebook, and subsequent uptake by the main smartphone manufacturers. With the ubiquity of smartphone ownership among our students this presents a unique opportunity to explore the educational impact of these symbiotic technologies and their emergent ecosystems. While it is early days for research in these domains, we were interested in exploring beyond the technological hype to finding examples of integrating these technologies within learning designs that scaffold learner-generated content and contexts based upon a solid foundation of the scholarship of technology enhanced learning. The six articles in this special issue give us insights into these critical issues.

Published: November 2017

Background and Purpose:

Gait speed, mobility, and postural transitions should be taken into account in older adults with frailty syndrome and can be assessed by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test. However, it is unclear which TUG subtasks have greater influence in identifying frail people and whether prefrail individuals present with any reduced subtask performance. The objective of this study was to investigate the differences in performance of TUG subtasks between frail, prefrail, and nonfrail older adults.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was performed with community-dwelling older adults, including 43 nonfrail, 30 prefrail, and 7 frail individuals. The TUG subtasks (sit-to-stand, walking forward, turning, walking back, and turn-to-sit) were assessed using a Qualisys motion system. Data were captured by Qualisys Track Manager software and processed by Visual 3D software. The Matlab program was used to detect, separate, and analyze the TUG subtasks. Statistical significance was set at α= .05 and SigmaPlot software (11.0) was used.

Results and Discussion:

The total time to complete the TUG was significantly longer among frail participants than among those who were prefrail and nonfrail. Statistically significant differences in temporal parameters in the turning, walking forward, and walking back subtasks between nonfrail/prefrail and frail older people were found. In addition, the transition TUG subtasks (average and peak velocities of the trunk) distinguished the frail group from the other groups, demonstrating altered quality of movement.

Conclusions:

The findings support the value of analyzing the TUG subtasks to improve understanding of mobility deficits in frailty syndrome.

Aandahl, HS, Von Heimburg, E, and Van den Tillaar, R. Effect of postactivation potentiation induced by elastic resistance on kinematics and performance in a roundhouse kick of trained martial arts practitioners. J Strength Cond Res 32(4): 990–996, 2018—The aim of this study was to examine whether kicking with elastic resistance during warm-up could initiate postactivation potentiation (PAP), and thereby positively influence kinematics and performance on subsequent explosive roundhouse kicking. Five women and 11 men (n = 16) with a background in kickboxing (n = 10) or taekwondo (n = 6) performed 2 warm-up strategies with 3 subsequent test kicks 5–8 minutes after a PAP-inducing exercise. Kicking performance, defined as roundhouse kicking velocity with the foot, was measured using 3D motion capture (500 Hz) with a 15 marker lower-body 3D model. In addition, electromyography of the prime movers—vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and rectus femoris muscles—was measured to confirm the presence of PAP. Kicking velocity of the foot increased by 3.3% after performing a warming-up strategy including kicking with elastic resistance (p = 0.009, η2 = 0.32). Increases were also recorded in muscle activity in vastus medialis (35.2%, p = 0.05, η2 = 0.18) and rectus femoris (43.9%, p = 0.04, η2 = 0.20). These findings indicate that performing a warm-up strategy including kicking with elastic resistance can have a positive effect on kicking performance in a roundhouse kick.

Durguerian, A, Filaire, E, Drogou, C, Sauvet, F, Bougard, C, and Chennaoui, M. Hyperactivity of the sympatho-adrenomedullary system without any modification of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis after food restriction among high-level weightlifters. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1643–1655, 2018—We examined the effects of 6 days of food restriction on salivary α-amylase (sAA), cortisol and dehydroepiandrostenedione (DHEA) awakening responses, psychological parameters and performance among 11 international weightlifters. Assessments were made at baseline (T1) and 6 days after a normal period of training while maintaining body weight (T2). Then, participants were assigned to 2 groups depending on whether they lost (Diet group) or maintained (Control group) their body mass. Anthropometric, psychological, physical, and physiological assessments were also realized 6 days (T3) after the restricted dietary period for the Diet group. Food restriction (T3) induced a significant rise of sAA awakening response (364.6%, p ≤ 0.05), whereas no significant variations were observed among the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (cortisol and DHEA). Significant alterations of the general Recovery Score and General stress Score, evaluated through the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for athletes, were noted after food restriction. Weightlifting performance, evaluated during a simulated weightlifting competition, was maintained after the 6-day food restriction; we even noted an increased weightlifting performance related to body mass (Sinclair coefficient). Our findings support the hypothesis that food restriction induces a challenging situation to the organism, resulting in an asymmetry between the 2 stress systems activation. These results reinforce the necessity to cautiously plan and monitor the weight regulation process before competition to avoid potential negative outcomes on psychophysiological parameters. In this regard, the psychobiological approach, especially the awakening responses, seems a useful tool.

Published: November 2017

Fiber-reinforced laminated composites have excellent mechanical properties along the fiber in-plane direction. However, they do not have very good properties in the transverse direction. The objective of this research is to deal with this problem by using graphene oxide (GO), plasma-treated multiwall carbon nanotubes, and nanodiamond extra pure powder with epoxy-terminated butadiene nitrile liquid rubber to improve the through-thickness fracture toughness of glass/epoxy unidirectional pre-preg laminates. The experimental results show that by adding carbon nanoparticles with rubber in small quantities, the mode-I interlaminar critical energy release rate can be improved by 50 to 103 %. Furthermore, it was observed that there was an increase in flexural stiffness by 15 % with the addition of nanodiamond extra pure powder to rubber. However, when GO was used, the mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness improvement was reduced as compared to other nanoparticles modified by glass/epoxy fiber laminates. The fracture surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy to understand the increase in toughness in modified glass epoxy pre-peg laminate system.

Research has been carried out to study flotation activity of new surface active substances among dithiocarbonyl and phosphoryl derivatives of monoethanolamine and diethanolamine on the gold-bearing sulphide ore of the Bestobinskoye deposit of Kazakhstan. Among the synthesized compounds, effective collectors for selective enrichment of sulfide polymetallic gold ores were found. Sodium N-octyl-N-2-hydroxyethyldithiocarbamate (AA-41) and sodium O-2-(dimethoxyphosphoryl- 2-hydroxyethylamino)ethylxanthate (GF-2) were proposed as new flotation reagents. They were tested in flotation of gold-bearing polymetallic ore as additional collectors contributing to an increase in percentage of gold extraction in the collective concentrate in comparison with the factory basic regime in which a mixture of butyl xanthate (BX) and ditiophosphate butyl ether or butyl airoflot (BAF) was used.
The results of flotation tests indicate that collective ability of GF-2 in combination with BAF provides a higher gold recovery to the concentrate – 90.8%, than gold recovery with BX and BAF is (87.7%). It should be specially emphasized that consumption of GF-2 in comparison with BX is lower on 33%.
Synthesis methods of the AA-41 and GF-2 flotation agents were developed, and evidence of their structure was given by IRS and NMR 1Н, 13С. The principal technological scheme of GF-2 obtaining was developed.
In synthesis of collector AA-41, one of the principles of “green” chemistry “catalytic systems and processes (as selective as possible) are in all cases better than stoichiometric ones” was used. The use of tetrabutylammonium iodide as catalyst in synthesis allows shorten the reaction time, reduce reaction temperature and increase the selectivity.

Materials able to decompose safely are very important for solving the environmental problems. In this paper, the preparation conditions of biodegradable film based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and starch were studied. IR-spectroscopy analysis showed that during the synthesis, copolymers connect with each other via hydrogen bonds. The films synthesized on the basis of PVA and starch have been subjected to γ-radiation. They have shown the improved characteristics on strength, elasticity and durability in various solvents at the expense of the polymeric components sewed by hydrogen bonds. Possibilities for application of the films as a biodegradable material were shown.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT: The use of bedside focus assessed transthoracic echocardiography (FATE) is widespread in human medicine, and the potential for veterinary medicine has only recently been investigated. Focused echocardiographic examination can be beneficial in critically ill patients compared to other bedside diagnostic methods, as well as facilitating rapid therapeutic approaches in the emergency room. The aim of this review is to discuss FATE and identify its main applications in veterinary medicine. In this context, FATE has proved to be benefical even when carried out by a non-cardiologist physician or veterinarian. However, a few references on this subject exist in the veterinary literature and there is still a need for standardization of this technique for use in animals.

ABSTRACT Inclined trees produce reaction wood, whose properties are distinct from normal wood. This situation can affect the production of charcoal. This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of charcoal derived from reaction wood in trees of a commercial plantation inclined due to the action of wind. We used six year old wood from a Eucalyptus grandis xEucalyptus urophylla hybrid from plantations located in Minas Gerais. The physical and chemical properties of the wood were determined as well as the gravimetric yield and charcoal properties. According to the results, there were significant differences between the properties of the reaction and normal wood, with the reaction wood having lower levels of lignin and extractives, greater holocellulose content and low specific gravity. However, these characteristics of reaction wood did not significantly affect the properties of its charcoal.
Discusión de la aproximación paraxial y análisis numérico de la aberración de esfericidad

Published: November 2017

Los textos de óptica dirigidos al ciclo básico universitario discuten la formación de imágenes de espejos y lentes basándose en la aproximación paraxial. Este enfoque convencional adolece de ambigüedades y falencias que inducen al estudiante a errores conceptuales. En este trabajo se señalan tales ambigüedades y se demuestra que una proposición fundamental de la aproximación paraxial tiene una aplicabilidad muy limitada. Además, como recurso didáctico para superar las dificultades conceptuales, se presentan figuras de trazado de rayos y de la aberración de esfericidad, calculada con precisión en términos del error sistemático de enfoque, para puntos objeto a distancia infinita del sistema óptico, en distintos casos de espejos y lentes. Los resultados muestran que a ) la aberración, para cada rayo, depende esencialmente de la distancia angular de su punto de incidencia, b ) el comportamiento de la aberración es análogo en espejos y lentes, c ) en espejos convexos y cóncavos, a igual distancia angular, los valores del error de enfoque son idénticos, d ) la aberración varía en las lentes según su orientación.
As Simetrias de Lie de um Pião
Authors: Basquerotto Cláudio H. C. Costa , Righetto Edison , Silva Samuel da
Published: November 2017

A existência de simetrias em equações diferenciais pode gerar transformações em variáveis dependentes e independentes que facilitam a integração destas equações. Em especial, Sophus Lie desenvolveu no século XIX uma forma de extração de simetrias que podem ser usadas efetivamente para revelar as integrais primeiras, ou seja, as constantes de movimento, que muitas vezes podem estar escondidas. Estes invariantes podem em algumas situações ser identificados pelo teorema de Noether ou a partir de manipulações das próprias equações com transformações de Lie. Nos cursos iniciais de mecânica clássica, apesar de todo o formalismo em cima dos teoremas de conservação de energia e momento linear/angular, a relação disto com a existência de possíveis simetrias de Lie não é destacada de forma clara e objetiva. Neste sentido, o presente artigo busca apresentar uma introdução às simetrias de Lie usando uma linguagem acessível para um aluno de graduação de física, matemática ou engenharia com domínio básico em fundamentos de cálculo com várias variáveis. Para ilustrar a abordagem, considera-se um problema clássico de mecânica considerando um pião em regime de movimento com precessão estacionária. A partir das equações de movimento obtidas, as simetrias de Lie são identificadas e usadas na transformação para a redução da ordem. As integrais primeiras são obtidas a partir deste resultado com o Teorema de Noether, mostrando que neste exemplo e condição as simetrias de Lie também são simetrias de Noether. Por fim, a resolução das equações de movimento podem ser feitas usando funções elípticas de Jacobi para a obtenção dos ângulos de precessão, nutação e spin nas condições apresentadas.

Abstract Objective To evaluate and correlate the values of radiographic bone density, peri-implant bone height and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) of short or conventional implants placed in the posterior region of the mandible after installing a prosthesis. Material and method Eleven patients were selected for this prospective parallel pilot study. The prostheses were supported by two types of implants: short implants (n = 18) (5.0 x 5.5 mm and 5.0 x 7.0 mm) and conventional implants (n = 23) (4.0 x10 mm and 4.0 x 11.5 mm). The implants were evaluated by RFA, by measuring the bone height, and peri-implant bone density. The implants were evaluated at the periods T0 (immediately after installation of the prosthesis), T1 (after 90 days), and T2 (after 180 days). Result There were no statistically significant differences between groups with respect to radiographic bone density (152.50 ± 15.39 vs. 157.60 ± 28.46, for conventional and short implants, respectively at T2), stability of the implants (Conventional implants: 66.76 ± 10.39 at T0, and 61.85 ± 8.38 at T2 vs. Short implants: 57.50 ± 12.17 at T0, and 61.53 ± 7.39 at T2) and peri-implant bone loss (0.03 mm vs.-0.17 mm, for conventional and short implants, respectively at T2). Additionally, a significant correlation between the evaluated parameters was not detected. Conclusion The short and conventional implants presented similar stability, bone level and density after the activation of occlusion loading.

Abstract O artigo discute as barreiras e os fatores facilitadores à descentralização em saúde mental por meio do apoio matricial. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com apoiadores matriciais ‒ psicólogos e psiquiatras da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Os resultados evidenciam como obstáculos ao apoio matricial a não validação plena da gestão; a sobreposição das questões políticas em detrimento das técnicas; a incongruência entre os valores institucionais e os profissionais; as diferentes configurações da rede em Unidades de Saúde tradicionais e Unidades de Saúde da Família, que demandam arranjos organizacionais diferentes. Dentre os fatores facilitadores, evidenciam-se as relações personalizadas entre os apoiadores e os profissionais de referência, a disponibilidade, o comprometimento, a comunicação fluida, a corresponsabilização e a sistematicidade dos encontros. Conclui-se que, apesar dos diferentes obstáculos, a manutenção do apoio matricial decorre essencialmente da motivação dos apoiadores à descentralização em saúde mental.

Resumo Esta pesquisa exploratória objetivou avaliar a relação entre evolução dos indicadores genéricos de mudança e qualidade da eficácia adaptativa de uma paciente adulta atendida em psicoterapia breve psicodinâmica. Os vídeos e transcrições das 11 sessões deste processo foram analisados com os Indicadores Genéricos de Mudança e com a Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada Redefinida. Os resultados demonstraram evolução dos indicadores de mudança e progresso nas respostas adaptativas. Se por um lado respostas mais adequadas sugeriram mudanças na vida da paciente, por outro, essas melhoras puderam ser captadas pelos Indicadores Genéricos de Mudança. As duas medidas usadas em conjunto podem auxiliar o terapeuta na avaliação de progresso do paciente e na compreensão dos fatores que ocasionam ou que limitam a mudança. Sugere-se a realização de pesquisas que compreendam maior número de casos, contem com processos considerados mal sucedidos e envolvam abandono por parte do paciente.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT: The use of synthetic compounds to retard the growth of lawns aims at reducing the number of operations for their maintenance. Thus, the main goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of trinexapac-ethyl on the development and rooting of five different grass species. Bahiagrass, St. Augustine grass, Japanese lawn grass, Bermuda grass and, broadleaf carpetgrass were grown in pots of 20 L. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications. Trinexapac-ethyl (g ha-1) was applied at doses of 113+113, 226+113, 226+226, 452+113, 452+226, 452+452 in a sequential spraying, and also at single doses of 678 and 904. The second application was carried out 14 days after the first. On the day prior to applications all species were cut at 3 cm height. The phytotoxicity evaluations were performed weekly, and evaluations on plant height, number and height of inflorescences, biomass of aerial parts and roots were carried out 35 days after the second application. The trinexapac-ethyl application was effective in inhibiting the development of the Japanese lawn grass, Bermuda grass and broadleaf carpetgrass when applied in sequential doses higher than 226 g ha-1, or single doses of 678 or 904 g ha-1 and, the visual appearance of lawns was not affected. In the case of St. Augustine grass and Bahiagrass species, the growth regulator did not promoted reduction in the growth of both grass species.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the hormesis effect of sub-doses of dichlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide and the plant growth regulator mepiquat chloride on the vegetative and productive characteristics of two cotton cultivars (FMT 701 and Fibermax 966). The experiment was conducted from November 2013 to May 2014. The experimental design was a randomized block in a factorial scheme 6 x 2 x 2, with four replications, totaling 96 installments with 24 treatments: the witness and five sub-doses of the herbicide 2,4-D: 0.68, 1.36, 2.04, 2.72 and 3.40 g equivalent acid (e.a) per ha, with and without application of mepiquat chloride at a dose of 200 mL ha-1 in the cotton cultivars FMT 701 and Fibermax 966. The sub-doses applied were 2,4-D at 45 days after the emergence of the plant (DAE), and the growth regulator was applied at 70 DAE. It was found that the use of the growth regulator (mepiquat chloride) at a dose of 200 mL ha-1 was effective in controlling plant development relative to its variable height. The application of sub-doses of 2,4-D up to 1.75 g e.a ha-1 provides increased seed cotton productivity FMT 701 and Fibermax 966). The cultivar FMT 701 got greater plant height, stem diameter, number of reproductive branches, bolls per plant and seed cotton productivity compared to the cultivar Fibermax 966.

Authors: Silva Adriano Maniçoba da , Santos Beatriz Carolini Silva
Published: November 2017

A evasão consiste num problema importante no âmbito educacional por causar ociosidade de recursos. O PROUNI (Programa Universidade para Todos) e o FIES (Financiamento Estudantil) têm subsidiado o ingresso de estudantes em Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) privadas. Esses incentivos minimizam a motivação financeira que pode gerar evasão. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar o efeito da concessão de bolsas do PROUNI e FIES na contenção da evasão. Com análise de dados em painéis estimou-se quatro modelos, sendo significante o modelo por efeitos aleatórios. Os resultados apontaram que as bolsas ofertadas pelo PROUNI têm correlação negativa com a evasão e, com menor magnitude, o FIES apresentou relação positiva. Desta forma, conclui-se que o PROUNI se apresenta como uma política mais eficaz à contenção da evasão do que o FIES.

Dentre os métodos de avaliação predominou na EEUSP a participação em sala de aula e trabalho escrito (60,4%) e nas unidades parceiras a prova escrita (64,7% com diferença estatística significante. A maior parte das disciplinas ministradas no bacharelado em enfermagem empregou métodos participativos na avaliação, contudo a prova escrita prevaleceu nas unidades parceiras da EEUSP.
Qualidade da educação superior e a tensão entre democratização e internacionalização na universidade brasileira
Authors: Cunha Maria Isabel da
Published: November 2017

O texto decorre de uma investigação que toma a democratização e a internacionalização como dois referentes da qualidade da educação brasileira. A primeira aponta para a inclusão de uma população estudantil de primeira geração, em que muitos dos seus integrantes trabalham e estudam, são provenientes de camadas médias da população e, em alguns casos, ingressam através de cotas étnicas ou cotas de escolas públicas, distantes dos padrões anteriores da meritocracia. A outra parece apontar para exigências meritocraticas, envolvendo carreiras de complexidade mais alta, trajetórias estudantis com maiores oportunidades culturais incluindo o domínio de idiomas e disponibilidade de condições para afastar-se do trabalho, entre outras condições. Explorando contribuições de autores que têm se dedicado a explorar o impacto dos dois vetores na educação superior, o texto defende uma democratização na perspectiva cultural e epistemológica que mediará o avanço da internacionalização, quando esta estiver preocupada em favorecer o processo de acumulação de capital de atores hegemônicos. Aposta, também, na importância de uma globalização que se identifica com o trabalho solidário e nos movimentos defensores das identidades culturais que dialogam com os referentes globais. Essa será uma possibilidade de se constituir numa conquista de sistemas educacionais mais justos e numa sociedade mais igualitária.
Influence of net stress on the soil-water retention curves of a natural pyroclastic soil
Authors: Ferlisi S. , Foresta V.
Published: November 2017

This paper shows the preliminary results of a research aimed at investigating the role played by the vertical net stress on the trend of soil-water retention curves of a natural pyroclastic (ashy) soil. To this aim, laboratory tests are carried out (under zero load and constant load conditions) by using equipments able to cover matric suction values ranging from 2 to 800 kPa along drying paths. The measured data are fitted with bimodal parametric functions useful to retrieve air-entry values and percentages of the total porosities pertaining to two porosity systems of the investigated soil.
BIM model-based design delivery: Tideway East, England, UK
Authors: Gaunt Michael
Published: November 2017

The UK Government Construction Strategy 2016–2020 aims to drive ‘increased construction productivity to facilitate forecast efficiency savings of £1·7 billion over the course of this Parliament’. This strategy defines objectives which ‘build on the success of the Government Construction Strategy 2011–2015’ and the requirement for ‘fully collaborative 3D BIM as a minimum by 2016’. PAS 1192-2:2013 supports this strategic objective and highlights the need for ‘efficient and accurate information exchange’ and along with BS 1192:2015 promotes the ‘avoidance of wasteful activities’. The lean production of information is key to achieving this objective, ensuring that ‘information can be used and re-used throughout the project’ and reducing the ‘over-production of information with no defined use’. Model-based delivery, in the context of this paper, describes a lean design delivery process which removes abortive drawing production. This process enables a reduction in programme and cost but requires all parties involved to develop improved model review skills to adopt this new method of working. This paper describes the implementation, benefits and challenges of model-based delivery on the eastern section of the Thames Tideway Tunnel.

Parent-child communication in sport: Bridging the gap between theory and research
Authors: Grimm Marshall Xavier , Dorrance Hall Elizabeth , Dunn Charles Ryan , Dorsch Travis Edward
Published: November 2017

Parent-child communication is integral to the acquisition of positive developmental outcomes from sport. This position paper offers useful interdisciplinary frameworks and theories for future researchers as they investigate questions pertaining to parentchild communication in organized youth sport. We propose such work is enhanced when grounded in family, human development, and interpersonal communication theory and literature. Specifically, theoretical frameworks from these areas assist researchers in determining salient research questions, choosing appropriate methodologies, and most importantly in the interpretation of findings. As researchers attempt to further understand parental influence in sport, the role of specific family processes like communication will shed light on the potential mechanisms that drive youth’s developmental outcomes. This knowledge will likely lead to better outcomes for youth participating in sport, and better relationships among family members in and out of the sport context. By gaining greater understanding of this phenomenon, researchers will have a more complete set of tools to educate parents, administrators, and coaches in an evidence-based way.
Enhancing the Transfer of Life Skills from Sport-based Youth Development Programs to School, Family, and Community Settings

Published: November 2017

When designed intentionally, sport-based youth development programs engage youth in physical activity, sport, and exercise as a way to concurrently pursue goals related to socioemotional and physical development (Holt et al., 2017). One such application of this is the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model (Hellison, 2011) which has the ultimate goal of students transferring lessons learned within the sport setting to other areas of their life, including family, community, and school. However, once youth leave the program setting, they become vulnerable to challenges from external systems working to support or hinder their transfer of life skills (Martinek & Lee, 2012). Therefore, we propose that (in)congruence among family, school, community and program systems influence the extent to which lessons learned can transfer to other areas of their lives. Specifically drawing from the frameworks of Collective Parental Engagement (Alameda-Lawson & Lawson, 2016) and Students Multiple Worlds’ model (Phelan, Davidson, & Cao, 1991), we argue that skills and competency transfer is best facilitated when social settings which comprise youth’s social systems share similar values and expectations for desired behavior. Practical strategies for enhancing the transferability of lessons learned in TPSR programs through the congruence approach are shared.

The first map of salt deposits in Romania (1780). Current corresponding toponyms
Authors: Moscal Dinu
Published: November 2017

The history of salt exploitation in the Carpathian arc area is far from being complete regarding certain periods of Romania’s historical provinces, although a lot has been written on this topic. A map of the salt deposits drafted in 1780 represents one of the most important achievements in this field. One of the mandatory aspects of this historical approach is the identification of places from where salt is or was extracted. Following a short history of the primary documentations of the exploitation of salt on the territory of Romania, this study presents Fichtel’s (1780) contribution to identifying the salt deposits on this territory. The updating of the toponyms on the map poses no difficulties for the historical provinces Moldavia and Wallachia, yet the situation is different in the case of the toponyms in Transylvania, since the nomenclature from the Hungarian domination period (until 1918) was mostly modified starting with the year 1919. Correspondences from the current nomenclature were provided for all these toponyms. The study offers an update of the localization of salt wells or springs and sedimentary deposits of salt, as indicated by Fichtel, by identifying present corresponding toponyms for the ones indicated on the map.

Background: Postmenopausal women typically present loss of bone mineral density (BMD), muscular strength, and postural balance. However, there is no consensus in the literature on the correlation between these variables. Objectives: Our objective was to verify the correlation between BMD, isokinetic peak torque of knee extensors and flexors, and static postural balance in postmenopausal women. Methods: Fifty-one postmenopausal women underwent BMD evaluation through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for four bone regions (lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and trochanter). Muscular strength of knee extensors and flexors was evaluated in an isokinetic dynamometer at 60 and 180 degrees per second in the dominant lower limb. Static postural balance was evaluated on a force platform during five different tasks (bipodal eyes open, bipodal eyes closed, semi-tandem eyes open, semi-tandem eyes closed, and unipodal). Statistical analysis involved Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rho). Results: There was no significant correlation between BMD and isokinetic peak torque of knee extensors and flexors. Approximately half (27 of 60) of the postural balance variables presented significant inverse correlations (p < 0.05) with BMD and of these, the majority (22 of 27) presented moderate correlation (rho between -0.49 and -0.30). Most correlations were for bipodal support tasks with eyes open and eyes closed. Conclusion: Greater postural oscillation in different balance tasks was correlated with lower BMD in postmenopausal women. Therefore, it is suggested that intervention protocols for women with impaired BMD, especially osteoporotic, consider balance training as part of rehabilitation.

Authors: Mandal Sukumar
Published: November 2017

ISO file creation is an important task in library automation and digitization activities. This paper discusses the creation of integrated ISO framework in Ubuntu operating system and, Remastersys, an open source software. The paper demonstrates development of six domain specific clusters in a single window based interface for functions like content creation, housekeeping operations, information retrieval system, digital media archiving, federated search system, community communication interaction. These six functions are merged into a single ISO file of size 4.7 G.B. The ISO file helps to achieve the objectives of installation and configuration of target college libraries. After creation of the file it’s required to write on DVD by using the brasero to create the Ubuntu Live DVD. This framework helps college librarians to manage their library operations and manage the users. The software tool can easily be accessed from this single window for easy management of college library functions and activities.
