Ramos, GP, Nakamura, FY, Penna, EM, Mendes, TT, Mahseredjian, F, Lima, AM, Garcia, ES, Prado, LS, and Coimbra, CC. Comparison of physical fitness and anthropometrical profiles among Brazilian female soccer national teams from U15 to senior categories. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2302–2308, 2021—This study aimed to compare anthropometric and physical fitness of Brazilian female national team soccer players from the U15 to senior categories, and to compare the physical performance between selected and nonselected players. Subjects included 231 athletes (U15, n = 46, U17, n = 49, U20, n = 98, and Senior, n = 38). Body mass, height, sum of skinfolds, squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), 20-m linear sprint, and Yo-Yo IR1 were assessed. The U15 players were shorter than all other groups (p < 0.01) and lighter than U20 players (p < 0.01). Regarding physical tests, Senior athletes presented higher SJ compared with U20, and both showed higher CMJ and SJ compared with the U15 and U17 (p < 0.05). Senior athletes were also faster than players of all other categories in 20-m sprint (p < 0.01) and covered the greatest distance in the Yo-Yo IR1 (p < 0.05). U20 were better in the Yo-Yo IR1 than the younger groups (p < 0.05). When comparing selected and nonselected players, no differences were identified in anthropometric measures (p > 0.05). However, selected players from U17, U20, and Senior teams showed better performance in Yo-Yo IR1 than nonselected ones (p < 0.05). Finally, selected senior athletes also presented higher CMJ and SJ than nonselected players (p < 0.05). These results suggest that, although there is a tendency for maintenance in anthropometric measures from the age of 15 years, there are substantial improvements in speed, lower-body power, and aerobic capacity from U20 age group. In addition, it seems that intermittent aerobic fitness contributes to the selection of players to international tournaments in national teams.

Teixeira, EL, de Salles Painelli, V, Silva-Batista, C, de Souza Barros, T, Longo, AR, Lasevicius, T, Schoenfeld, BJ, Aihara, AY, and de Almeida Peres, B. Blood flow restriction does not attenuate short-term detraining-induced muscle size and strength losses after resistance training with blood flow restriction. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2082–2088, 2021—After a short-term resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR), we investigated the effects of 12 days of detraining (DET), without an exercise stimulus, on quadriceps cross-sectional area (QCSA) and muscle strength (1 repetition maximum [1RM]), with 1 leg receiving daily intermittent BFR during DET vs. the same nonexercise condition without BFR (CON) in the contralateral leg. Both subjects' legs were evaluated for QCSA and 1RM before (PRE) and after (POST) both legs being unilaterally submitted to 3 weeks (4 days per week) of low-load (3 sets of 15 repetitions, 30% 1RM) resistance training with BFR. The DET period started immediately after POST, where each leg was randomly submitted to a daily intermittent BFR protocol or CON, without any associated exercise stimulus. Quadriceps cross-sectional area and 1RM were reassessed after DET. Both legs at CON and BFR conditions increased QCSA (6.3 and 6.8%, respectively; both p < 0.0001) and 1RM (9.5 and 10.1%, respectively; both p < 0.05) from PRE to POST. Both legs at CON and BFR conditions reduced QCSA (−4.6 and 4.9%, respectively; both p < 0.0001) and 1RM (−9.0 and −8.2%, respectively; both p < 0.05) from POST to DET, with no significant differences between conditions (p > 0.05). We conclude that muscle strength and hypertrophy gains obtained in 3 weeks of resistance training with BFR are not maintained after 12 days of DET. Moreover, the application of BFR, without an associated exercise stimulus, does not attenuate such losses.

Costa, BDV, Ferreira, MEC, Gantois, P, Kassiano, W, Paes, ST, de Lima-Júnior, D, Cyrino, ES, and Fortes, LS. Acute effect of drop-set, traditional, and pyramidal systems in resistance training on neuromuscular performance in trained adults. J Strength Cond Res 35(4): 991–996, 2021—The aim of this study was to analyze the acute effects of resistance training (RT) systems on lower- and upper-limb performance in trained adults. Eighteen male young adults with experience in RT aged from 18 to 26 years underwent the 3 experimental conditions (drop-set [DS], decrescent pyramid [DP], and traditional [TR]). The subjects performed 2 exercises (bench press and leg press 45°). In the DS condition, they underwent 2 sets of 10 repetitions at 12RM, followed by 5 additional repetitions with an intensity of 15RM with 6-minute interval rest between sets. In the DP, it was performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 10RM, 12RM, and 15RM, respectively, and the rest interval was 3 minutes between sets. In the TR, the subjects performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 12RM with 3 minutes of rest between sets. Countermovement jump, peak power (Wpeak), and force (F
peak) in the bench press were evaluated in the baseline, before, and 30 minutes after the experimental sessions. Countermovement jump performance decreased significantly only after the DS and DP conditions (−6.7 and −1.9%, respectively). The groups were significantly different in the post-intervention; the DS condition presented lower values when compared with the DP (p = 0.01) and TR (p = 0.001). According to F
peak and Wpeak, only DS condition significantly decreased the performance (−3.8 and −4.1%, respectively). The results indicate the DS and DP conditions impair the neuromuscular performance of the lower limbs, whereas for upper limbs, only DS condition negatively affect upper-limb performance.

Madruga-Parera, M, Bishop, C, Fort-Vanmeerhaeghe, A, Beltran-Valls, MR, Gonzalo-Skok, O, and Romero-Rodríguez, D. Interlimb asymmetries in youth tennis players: relationships with performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2815–2823, 2020—Change of direction speed (CODS) has been highlighted as a critical component of tennis. Interlimb asymmetries have been commonly studied in jump tests, but less attention given to the topic during CODS. The aim of this study was to quantify interlimb asymmetries in jumping and CODS (during traditional and isoinertial tests) and establish their relationship with measures of physical performance. Twenty-two elite youth tennis players (16.3 ± 1.4 years) performed single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ), single-leg broad jump, and single-leg lateral jump, a double 180° turn CODS test, and shuffle lateral step and crossover step with an isoinertial resistance device. Paired-samples t-tests revealed significant differences between limbs for all tests (p < 0.05). Interlimb asymmetry scores ranged from 1.83 to 15.03%, and a 1-way repeated-measures analysis of variance showed significant differences between interlimb asymmetry scores across multiple tests (p < 0.05). Spearman's rank order r correlations showed significant negative relationships between CODS asymmetry and SLCMJ performance on both limbs (r = −0.50; p = 0.02 and r = −0.53; p = 0.01) and CODS performance on both limbs (r = 0.50; p = 0.02 and r = 0.63; p = 0.002). These results show the test-specific nature of asymmetries in youth tennis athletes, with the SLCMJ presenting the greatest magnitude of asymmetry. Furthermore, interlimb differences during CODS were associated with reduced performance during jumping and CODS tests, suggesting the monitoring of asymmetries within this population may therefore be warranted.

de Hoyo, M, Núñez, FJ, Sañudo, B, Gonzalo-Skok, O, Muñoz-López, A, Romero-Boza, S, Otero-Esquina, C, Sánchez, H, and Nimphius, S. Predicting loading intensity measuring velocity in barbell hip thrust exercise. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2075–2081, 2021—The barbell hip thrust is an increasingly used exercise to target the hip extensors. Direct and indirect measurement of 1 repetition maximum (1RM) to determine the relative load of each exercise is time-consuming; therefore, practitioners may be more in favor of monitoring velocity and determining relative load through velocity-based prediction models for an exercise. This study aimed to assess the relationship between mean velocity (MV) and mean propulsive velocity (MPV) at different relative training loads (%1RM) in the barbell hip thrust exercise. One hundred two male sport science students performed an incremental 1RM testing protocol for the barbell hip thrust exercise, and a linear position transducer measured MV and MPV of the barbell. The 1RM was reached at 0.25 ± 0.03 m·s−1, and the regression model generated to estimate a relative load showed an acceptable standard error of estimate (7.01 ± 1.05% 1RM and 7.36 ± 1.05% 1RM for MV and MPV, respectively) with a very large explained variance (R
2 = 0.94). These results may have important practical applications for the prescription and monitoring of the accessory exercise of the hip thrust for monitoring training load and predicting 1RM without undertaking a RM test.

De Giorgio, A, Iuliano, E, Turner, A, Millevolte, C, Cular, D, Ardigò, LP, and Padulo, J. Validity and reliability of a light-based electronic target for testing response time in fencers. J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2636–2644, 2021—Response time (RT) is a fencing fundamental sensorimotor skill. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to examine the efficacy of a light-based electronic target in fencers, designed to measure and train this entity. Ninety-five fencers (M = 53; F = 42) were tested in regard to their RT, using a light-based electronic target, for 3 different attack types: simple attack, the lunge, and an attack after a 1.5-m thrust. All subjects were divided into elite vs. novice fencers. Elite fencers had national and international rankings, and were again divided with regard to used weapon: épéeists (n = 32; M = 19; F = 13) and foilists (n = 30; M = 13; F = 17). Measurement was evaluated for validity/reliability, sensitivity/specificity, and correlation. Reliability was high for all attack types (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.94–0.96). Lower RTs were found in males for 2 attack types with good sensitivity (81–93%)/specificity (50–91%) for all attack types. Elite fencers responded faster than novice fencers for all attack types (p < 0.001), whereas elite males were faster than females for 2 attack types (p < 0.01). Lower RTs in females correlated with level for one attack type (r = 0.797, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the light-based electronic target system was found to be highly reliable and therefore could be used by fencing athletes as a further measure of performance.

Bertolaccini, AL, da Silva, AA, Teixeira, EL, Schoenfeld, BJ, and de Salles Painelli, V. Does the expectancy on the static stretching effect interfere with strength-endurance performance? J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2439–2443, 2021—Static stretching (SS) may interfere with strength performance. Such interference, however, may be partially attributed to the subjects' or researcher's expectancy about the SS effects. We aimed to examine whether the manipulation of subjects' expectancy of SS on force production could influence strength-endurance during unilateral knee extension exercise. Eighteen strength-trained men were randomly divided into positively biased (PB; N = 9) or negatively biased (N = 9) groups on the possible effects of SS on performance. Subjects' total number of repetitions and total volume of exercise were assessed during strength-endurance tests (4 sets performed to failure at 70% of 1 repetition maximum) performed under 2 different conditions on separate days: Control—no stretching (CON); or SS. Static stretching consisted of 3 sets of 3 stretching exercises, lasting 30 seconds each. Data were analyzed using mixed models. Neither the total number of repetitions nor the total volume was significantly different between the CON and SS conditions, nor for type of bias (all p > 0.05). However, the number of repetitions in the last set of exercise was greater during SS compared with CON for the PB group (p = 0.01). Although previous negative or positive information about SS did not interfere with the total number of repetitions and total volume of exercise, previous positive information about SS improved performance in the last set of exercise. Expectancy therefore may have played a partial role influencing strength-endurance in previous studies.

Furlong, L-AM, Harrison, AJ, and Jensen, RL. Measures of strength and jump performance can predict 30-m sprint time in Rugby Union players. J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2579–2583, 2021—Performance and fitness monitoring in Rugby Union often include jumping, sprinting, and strength tests, but repeatability of and relationships between these measures are unclear. The level of interindividual variability in these relationships and their sprint time predictive capabilities are also unknown. This study examined the reliability of, and relationship between, countermovement (CMJJH), squat (SJJH), and rebound (RBJJH) jump heights, rebound jump contact time (RBJCT), estimated 1 repetition maximum back squat relative to body mass (SQBM), and reactive strength index (RSI) to 30-m sprint time of subelite, semiprofessional Rugby Union players. Measurement reliability was very good, with high average intraclass correlation coefficients (≥0.9) and low coefficient of variation (<10.1%). All variables were significantly (p < 0.01) correlated to each other (r > 0.575), except for SQBM (only related to CMJJH, r = 0.621) and RBJCT (only related to RSI, r = −0.727). SJJH and SQBM were the strongest and most consistent predictors of time to 30 m (R = 0.754 ± 0.081; SEE = 0.166 ± 0.025), but variability in SEE magnitude was observed across the group during bootstrapping. Cross-validation showed a mean difference between actual and predicted 30 m times equivalent to 0.22% of the group average time to 30 m. These results support the importance of multiple aspects of fitness training in Rugby Union players for improving performance in short-duration sprinting activities, but highlight the individual nature of their relative importance. Measures of strength and power can be used to predict short sprint performance by the strength and conditioning professional.
Medication Adherence Among Women Undergoing Infertility Treatment: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mahoney Diane E. , Russell Cynthia L. , Cheng An-Lin
Published: April 2019

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate medication adherence awareness among women undergoing infertility treatment. Materials and Methods: Several databases were searched including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, as well as ProQuest dissertations in order to collect the required data. In addition, based on the purpose of the study, English-language prospective, retrospective, observational, cross-sectional, quasi-experimental, and randomized controlled trial studies were selected which focused on medication adherence as a primary or secondary outcome in women with a diagnosis of infertility. Finally, critical appraisal for the quality of the study was assessed using Downs and Black Quality Checklist (1998) and STROBE guidelines. Results: Three studies conducted during 1993-2011 were analyzed. Further, sample sizes varied from 30 to 626 subjects with average rates of oral medication adherence ranging from 26% to 81% when used as the first-line therapy. More frequent daily dosing was associated with lower adherence rates. Based on the results, adherence was significantly lower when women were concerned about the side effects of medication adherence or reported 3 or more side effects rather than one or 2 cases. Furthermore, women with a body mass index of <23 kg/m² or those who viewed medical treatment as convenient had higher adherence rates. It is noteworthy that none of the studies evaluated medication adherence during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles, along with intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Conclusions: In general, rates of oral medication adherence are found suboptimal when used alone as first-line therapy. Accordingly, further studies regarding medication-taking behaviors are warranted in future research trials involving injection medications and COH cycles associated with IUI and IVF cycles in order to strengthen the clinical practice.

Objectives: Delivery is a painful process and may impose different mental effects on the mother. The present study investigated the relationship between forgiveness and spiritual well-being on the mother’s anxiety during her labor. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study. The research population included all the pregnant women who referred to three maternity hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. In addition, the sample contained 200 pregnant women (both the prime and multiparous mothers) based on multiple regression analysis and 10 samples were selected for each variable of the study. The Paloutzian and Ellison Spiritual Health Scale, Pollard Forgiveness Scale in Family and Spielberger’s questionnaire were used to collect the data. Results: Based on Pearson correlation test, variables of the study demonstrated a significant relationship and the correlations between spiritual health and trait anxiety of the mothers, state anxiety, and the total score of anxiety were r=-0.329, -0.385, and -0.363, respectively. Further, a significant relationship was observed between mother forgiveness and mother’s anxiety (r= -0.352), the state anxiety (r = -0.39), and the anxiety variable (r = -0.377) (P = 0.001). Conclusions: In general, there was a significant negative relationship between spiritual health and forgiveness with the state, trait, and overall score of anxiety.

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the frequent endocrine disorders among young females, which can cause infertility. Recently, evidence has shown the beneficial impacts of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) use along with clomiphene citrate on the treatment of infertility caused by PCOS. Regarding this, the present study aimed to compare the pregnancy rate between the PCOS patients treated with clomiphene and those received clomiphene along with NAC. Materials and Methods: This blinded randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on 66 patients with PCOS who presented with infertility at Milad Infertility Center in Mashhad, Iran, in 2015. The patients were divided into two groups of intervention and control using a random number table. In the intervention group, 100 mg of clomiphene (i.e. two pills) along with 1200 mg of NAC (i.e. two 600 mg pills) were given to the participants from the third day of the menstrual cycle for five days. In the control group, 100 mg of clomiphene was administered from the third day of the cycle for 5 days. The patients’ response to medications as well as the number and size of follicles were assessed using the vaginal ultrasound. Results: The 2 study groups had no significant difference regarding age, duration of infertility, body mass index, history of infertility treatment, and endometrial thickness on the third day of the menstrual cycle. The mean endometrial thickness was 7.47±1.6 (NAC/ clomiphene) and 7.58±2.1 mm (clomiphene) on the 12th day of the menstrual cycle (P=0.810). Furthermore, the mean sizes of the follicles were 13.6±4.2 (clomiphene) and 15.9±5.1 mm (NAC/clomiphene) (P=0.301). The mean numbers of follicles were 1.56±0.9 (clomiphene) and 1.8±0.9 (NAC/clomiphene) (P=0.069). In total, 7 (21.2%) and 5 (15.1%) patients in the intervention and control groups had a positive beta-hCG result, respectively (P=0.260). Conclusions: As the findings of this study revealed, the addition of NAC to clomiphene treatment was not associated with an increased chance of pregnancy in patients with PCOS-related infertility.

Published: April 2019

Objectives: Cervical cancer is a very common and lethal condition; however, owing to longstanding premalignant lesions, it is possible to prevent morbidity and mortality by screening tests. Pap smear, colposcopy, and biopsy are among the main modalities in this regard, however there is no consensus on the diagnostic utility of the first 2 methods. This study sought to examine the diagnostic utility of Pap smear, colposcopy, and cytology in evaluating the non-benign cervical lesions. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between 2014 and 2016 in an out-patient setting at Alzahra teaching hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. After obtaining informed consent, all 315 participants with abnormal Pap test underwent colposcopy and biopsy from the abnormal areas. Cervical biopsy was considered as a gold standard and the diagnostic values of Pap smear and colposcopy were individually compared by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and likelihood ratio. Results: The mean age of patients was 38.49±10.31 years (17-68 years). On the basis of biopsy findings, non-benign cervical lesions were present in 31 cases (9.8%). Accordingly, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and positive likelihood ratio of Pap smear in revealing non-benign cervical lesions were 77.4%, 69.7%, 21.8%, 95.6%, 70.7%, and 2.55%, and for colposcopy, were 90.3%, 90.9%, 51.9%, 98.9%, 90.8%, and 99.2%, respectively. Conclusions: Based on our results, the colposcopy is a sensitive and specific method in differentiating benign cervical lesions from non-benign cervical lesions. The accuracy of Pap smear is intermediate in this regard, and the utility is limited. Therefore, this method should not be considered as the main criterion for decision making.

Published: April 2019

ABSTRACTAmidst the rapid development of English teaching, teacher’s professional development (TPD) is crucial for English teachers. It has been discussed in the TESOL Summit 2018 in Jakarta that the teachers demanded a TPD approach which facilitates them in sharing professional experiences with other teachers. This qualitative research would like to investigate the effectiveness of reflection with critical incident theory (CIT) framework as a form of TPD which many studies have found effective to fulfil that demand and yet, rarely discussed in the context of Indonesia. Based on the reviewed literature, this research applied guided reflection and interview to gather the data. The gathered data were then analysed using open-, axial-, and selective coding. From the triangulated data, five themes related to TPD were extracted. One theme is dedicated to discussing two unique cases. Overall, by reflecting their critical incidents, all of the participants could understand their experience deeper and thus, making it meaningful. Therefore, this research suggests that the utilization of reflection using CIT framework must be investigated further in a bigger scope with bigger participants and more frequencies of reflection. ABSTRAKDi tengah pesatnya perkembangan pengajaran bahasa Inggris, pengembangan profesionalisme guru (TPD) penting bagi guru Bahasa Inggris. Telah didiskusikan dalam TESOL Summit 2018 di Jakarta bahwa para guru menginginkan sebuah pendekatan TPD yang memfasilitasi mereka untuk berbagi pengalaman profesional dengan guru lainnya. Penelitian kualitatif ini ingin menginvestigasi keefektifan refleksi dengan kerangka teori peristiwa kritis (CIT) sebagai bentuk TPD yang mana banyak studi telah menemukan keefektifan untuk memenuhi permintaan tersebut, akan tetapi jarang didiskusikan di dalam konteks Indonesia. Berdasarkan tinjauan pustaka, penelitian ini mengaplikasikan refleksi terpandu dan wawancara untuk mengumpulkan data. Data yang telah terkumpul dianalisis dengan menggunakan open-, axial-, dan selective coding. Dari data yang telah ditriangulasi, terekstrak lima tema terkait TPD. Satu tema didedikasikan untuk mendiskusikan dua kasus unik. Secara keseluruhan, dengan merefleksikan peristiwa kritis, semua partisipan mampu memahami pengalaman mereka secara lebih mendalam dan oleh karenanya, membuat pengalaman tersebut bermakna. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini menganjurkan agar penggunaan refleksi dengan kerangka CIT diinvestigasi lebih lanjut dalam skala yang lebih besar dengan lebih banyak partisipan dan frekuensi refleksi yang dilakukan.     How to Cite: Wijaya, Alberik R.

Massification of Higher Education in Malaysia: Challenges Facing Public Schools
Authors: Abdullah Arnida
Published: April 2019

AbstractHigher education plays an important role in many developing countries. Graduates are being equipped with professional knowledge and skills to fulfil the demands of the labour market in a knowledge economy. Malaysia is amongst those developing nations that have looked to advanced economies to provide a model of mass higher education which would raise educational levels and national income. Since the 1990s, therefore, the government has been expanding the higher education sector and broadening access to higher education institutions. Its goal is to boost higher education enrollments rate from 48 percent to 70 percent by the year 2025 (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2015). The need to respond to this expansion of higher education enrolments has implications for all three levels of school education - primary, lower secondary and upper secondary. Using secondary data, this study aims to explore challenges currently facing public schools in order to produce graduates with good academic results that enable them to gain a place in higher institutions. The findings of this study have provided evidence that school education system is still facing great challenges. A key to making higher education more effective, therefore, is to strengthen and improve Malaysia’s public schools.AbstrakPendidikan tinggi memainkan peran penting di banyak negara berkembang.

Tujuannya adalah untuk meningkatkan tingkat pendaftaran pendidikan tinggi dari 48 persen menjadi 70 persen pada tahun 2025 (Departemen Pendidikan Malaysia, 2015). Kebutuhan untuk menanggapi perluasan pendaftaran pendidikan tinggi ini berimplikasi pada ketiga tingkat pendidikan sekolah-sekolah dasar, menengah bawah, dan menengah atas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi tantangan yang saat ini dihadapi sekolah umum untuk menghasilkan lulusan dengan hasil akademik yang baik yang memungkinkan mereka mendapatkan tempat di institusi yang lebih tinggi. Temuan penelitian ini telah memberikan bukti bahwa sistem pendidikan sekolah masih menghadapi tantangan besar. Oleh karena itu, kunci untuk membuat pendidikan tinggi lebih efektif adalah memperkuat dan meningkatkan sekolah-sekolah negeri di Malaysia. How to Cite : Abdullah, A.

AbstractInternational students were frequently reported of culture shock issues when entering a new cultural environment. Cultural knowledge was often treated as an addendum which focused on learning facts about the target country. This article demonstrated culture shock that experienced by 7 international students, and also reviewed intercultural communicative language teaching (ICLT) in Indonesian language classrooms practiced by 6 language practitioners from 3 different universities in China. Using findings that emerged from a series of one-to-one interviews, the research explored practitioners’ current perspective of ICLT and how these understandings influenced their practices, including teaching materials, methods, and activities. The researcher discussed the possible causes of the status quo of ICLT in China, and went on to put forward suggestions that ICLT should be promoted in foreign language teaching as a successful mediator of intercultural dimension.AbstrakMahasiswa internasional sering dilaporkan tentang masalah kejutan budaya ketika memasuki lingkungan budaya baru.

Oil seepage is one of the most important characteristics of hydrocarbon formation, and understanding oil seepage is crucial for oil-gas exploration and the assessment of petroleum resources. Remote sensing and geochemical methods have the same material and theoretical bases for extracting oil and gas information from underlying strata and the identification of media features. As an emerging exploration method, hyperspectral remote sensing is efficient compared with traditional geochemistry because it is a finer, and sometimes more directly quantitative method for determining the specific mineral anomaly content. Hence, the use of both methods together is important. This paper describes the analysis of hyperspectral remote sensing data and the extraction of abnormal index information, including the level of carbonate alteration and the content of acidolytical hydrocarbons, pyrolysis hydrocarbons, headspace gas, and ferric and ferrous ions. The two methods have mutual authentication, and they are complementary and are useful in oil-bearing areas. When these methods are integrated, the acidolytical hydrocarbon index is the most effective geochemical index and is better at characterizing the oil field distribution than other indices. Also, hydrocarbon geochemical anomalies occurring in oil fields generally show continuous distribution points and are consistent with oil reservoirs. Consequently, a 3D model was established to comprehensively utilize hyperspectral remote sensing and geochemical data to determine the distribution of petroleum reservoirs efficiently as well as to delineate oil- and gas-bearing prospects. There is great potential for determining oil- and gas-bearing fields through the integration of hyperspectral and geochemical data.

Published: April 2019

Safety of the mine roadway constructions is controlled by geological disasters such as faults, goaves and so on. The advanced prediction has become an in-demand topic, and advanced detection method of the reflected wave is a crucial technology for advanced prediction of geological anomalies. However, due to the influence of the complex near-source seismic wavefield in the coal mine roadway, the result of wavefield separation and migration imaging is not accurate, which lead to the fact that the fine imaging of geological anomaly is difficult. A comparative analysis of wavefield separation method of kinematics and dynamics is carried out in this paper to solve this problem. A factor of principal polarization direction is introduced according to “the orthogonal difference between the propagation direction of P-wave and S-wave and the vibration direction of particle” starting from the real-time polarization analysis from three-component seismic signals. By the factor, a modified function is constructed and integrated into pre-stack diffraction migration, which put forward the polarization migration method that incorporates wavefield separation with migration imaging. The results of physical simulation and field survey in Xiangyuan coal mine in western China are as follows: The fine imaging by using advanced detection of the reflected waves in underground coal mine can be achieved by using polarization migration in linear observation system and the polarization migration has the effect of enhancing the spatial resolution.

In this study, the metal-non-metal mineral gas-water hydrothermal concept is used to analyze the movement channels of magmatic heating water. Further, the concept of fractures-faults-cracks microfissures hierarchical configuration of the movement channels of magmatic heating water is proposed. In addition, the magma thermal field formed by magmatic heating water movement is studied and analyzed. Based on the basin simulation method, which is combined with the paleo-tectonic evolution analysis and restoration of the ancient burial depth in the middle-eastern parts of the Qinshui Basin, the tectonic evolution history, thermal evolution history, and hydrocarbon generation and exhaustion history of tight gas reservoirs in the Yushe-Wuxiang block in the middle-eastern parts of the Qinshui Basin have been investigated. On the basis of the theories and methods that are proposed in this study, the hierarchical configuration of fractures-faults-cracks microfissures movement channels of magmatic heating water in the Yushe-Wuxiang block in the middle-eastern parts of the Qinshui Basin was studied and analyzed. It is observed that the magmatic heating water rises to the source formation through the movement channels of hierarchical configuration, heats the source rocks, accelerates the evolution of the source rock in the shallow layer, and forms a tight gas reservoir.

Authors: Ferrer Benimeli José Antonio
Published: April 2019

La relación entre la masonería y las mujeres atrae desde hace varios años las miradas analíticas de la historiografía. Los trabajos se han multiplicado con el objeto de visibilizar la presencia de las mujeres en las logias y dar a conocer las opiniones que los masones expresaron sobre las mujeres como afiliadas y sobre su condición en la sociedad en general. Este artículo describe los grandes hitos históricos de esta relación y aclara el paisaje investigativo realizado hasta el momento. La historia de esta relación forma parte de la historia de la masonería y en particular de la española.
