Dear friends,

 

We have been publishing scientific articles about gymnastics for a dozen of years. 2020 will be marked by the Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan). We expect excellent gymnastics and perhaps some new records even though gymnastics is normally not about records. We believe that many articles published here in the past have contributed to safer and better gymnastics.

 

The present issue brings seven articles from different lines of gymnastics, including general gymnastics, rhythmics, artistic gymnastics and acrobatics. Their topis range from sociology, psychology, motor abilities and motor control to physical education.

 

There authors are from Brazil, Greece, Canada, Germany, Slovenia and Spain.

 

Anton Gajdoš drafted another article related to the history of gymnastics, refreshing our awareness of Nikolay Adrianov, an excellent Russian gymnast who marked the era between 1970 and 1980 and later as a coach in Russia and Japan.

 

Special thanks to our reviewers whose diligent work has improved the quality of the published papers. The list of reviewers in 2019 is at the end of this issue.

 

Just to remind you, if you quote the Journal, its abbreviation on the Web of Knowledge is SCI GYMN J.

 

I wish you pleasant reading and a lot of inspiration for new research projects and articles,
ESTIMATING HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT DEDUCTION IN TRAMPOLINE GYMNASTICS BY MEANS OF CONSTANT AND VARIABLE ERRORS OF LANDING POSITIONS: A NEW GOLD STANDARD?
Authors: Ferger Katja , Helm Fabian , Zentgraf Karen
Published: November 2022

The final result in competitive trampoline gymnastics is composed of different subscores. These contribute differentially to the final score and result in a gymnast’s ranking. The present study was designed to investigate the impact that alternative score calculations of the horizontal displacement of the landing positions on the trampoline’s cloth would have on the final competition result. Different approaches for determining a precision measure were compared to the current standard of horizontal displacement deduction. These approaches for calculating precision measures were: (a) “total distance,” (b) the “convex-hull approach,” and (c) the “error approach.”  Results showed that an alternative approach was more precise and differentiated better between gymnasts. The resulting changed rankings are compared to the official final score of the competition in order to demonstrate the impact of alternative calculations.

Authors: Nyirahabimana Marie Gaudence , Rutayisire Erigène , Mbayire Védaste
Published: November 2022

Background: HIV testing remains an important means to fight against HIV infection. However, many infected persons are unaware of their HIV infection. In Rwanda, HIV testing among young women decreased from 59% to 55% between 2015 and 2020. This study evaluated the influence of HIV-related knowledge on HIV testing uptake among young women in Rwanda.
Methods: This study analyzed the 2019/20 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS) data for 5,732 women aged 15-24 years. Summary statistics, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between HIV testing and HIV-related knowledge.
Results: HIV testing among young women was 55.1% and the majority (81.3%) of them knew that a healthy looking person can have HIV. After controlling for confounders, young women who had medium (OR=0.854; 95% CI: 0.756-0.964, P=0.011) and low (OR=0.357; 95% CI: 0.269-0.474, P<0.001) HIV-related knowledge were about 15% and 64% less likely to be tested for HIV respectively compared to those with a high HIV knowledge. Further, young women aged 20-24, who completed secondary education, and experienced high exposure to media were seven times, 78.9% and 48% more likely to test for HIV than those aged 15-19, with no education and low exposure to media respectively. Those from rural were about 20% less likely to test for HIV than those from urban areas.
Conclusion: Interventions aimed to boost HIV testing among young women in Rwanda should focus on improvement of HIV-related knowledge especially among adolescent with low education level from rural area.

Since 2014, India has witnessed substantial change under the Modi administration. As India's prime minister and a former RSS member, Modi has advocated the Hindutva agenda, which entails converting the country from a secular to a Hindu State. India is the second-most populous country in the world and has the largest democracy. India is a very ethnically, culturally, and religiously diverse country. A democratic country with such a sizable population must maintain a pluralistic society, which India has for a very long time, even before partition. However, the current resurgence of Hindu nationalism has raised concerns about minorities' futures. Indian secularism is having a difficult time adjusting to the issue of growing Hindu nationalism. By using the Psychocultural theory to explain the relationships between ethnic groups inside India and how it constitutes a threat to the future of secularism in India. In this research article, secondary data will be employed. Keywords: Secularism, BJP, Hindu Nationalism. Content Analysis, Hindu Rashtra, Psychocultural Theory.
COURT AND COAST: THE MUGHAL- PORTUGUESE RELATIONS (1498-1700)

Published: November 2022

This paper examines the intricate Mughal-Portuguese interaction in the Mughal court and on the Indian subcontinent's marine wildernesses from 1498 to 1700. By inspecting the rich association of formal and easy-going contact designed by the ruling nobility between the Mughal court and Portuguese experts in Goa (Estado da India) and Portugal, the work shows the political parts of the Jesuit missions. Furthermore, the issue of the Hajj journey and admission to its sea way, with all its rigid and business proposals, provoked the interest of the Mughals and other Islamic realms in the Indian Ocean. The multi-facet Mughal-Portuguese associations in Gujarat, Konkan, and Bengal, then again, show a powerful political contest for ports between the land-based Mughal Empire, the 'sea borne Portuguese State,' and moving nearby partnerships. This paper certifies how "Mughal Sea mindfulness" showed itself in the space of bullion trade, port association, and transportation out. This speculation, in general, attempts to interface the snared layers of religion, organization, and exchange that are seen at levels of exquisite and maritime associations between the Mughals and Portuguese. Keywords: Mughals-Portuguese Relations, Surat, Court and Coast, Politics and religion

Published: November 2022

The hepato-protective effect of Telfaria occidentalis leaves supplementation on paracetamol induced liver toxicity in wistar rats was investigated. A total of forty Wistar (female and male) rats weighing between 150-250g were selected for the study. The animals were randomly divided into four groups of five animals each. Animals in group 1 and 2 received standard chow only while animals in group 3 and 4 received 5% and 10% T. occidentalis supplementation in their feed respectively for six weeks. Group 2, 3 and 4 were administered 3000 mg/kg bodyweight of paracetamol intraperitoneally after six weeks. The animals were sacrificed after 24hours of induction and the liver was harvested for analysis. Alanine transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline Phosphatase, total protein, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were measured in the liver homogenate following standard methods. A significant decrease in the level of ALT, AST and ALP, Bilirubin and increased total protein in group 3 and 4 were observed when compared with group 2. This study showed that T. occidentalis leaves possess protective potential on the liver when supplemented in the diet thereby preventing deleterious effects that might arose from paracetamol overdose or overuse. The study concluded that the protective effect of the leaves on the liver is percentage supplementation (dose) dependent.

Published: November 2022

The study investigates the efficacy of a school-based life skills intervention on the psychological well-being of secondary school students. The study follows a quasi-experimental research design on a cluster sample of 80 school students studying in 9th grade. The investigator prepared the life skills training module by including three activities on all ten life skills identified by World Health Organization (WHO). The life skills training programme was executed in 40 sessions within the school premises in the form of life skills training sessions conducted daily for 40 minutes within the classroom setting. The results of the present study reveal a positive and significant effect of life skills training on the psychological well-being of secondary school students. The study also presents the implications of the results in the context of adolescent development.
Experimental Simulation of Gust – Wing Interactions
Authors: Gursul Ismet
Published: November 2022

Experimental simulation of gusts presents several challenges: difficulty of producing gusts to compare with theory/computational simulations and lack of two-dimensionality of the gusts. We have investigated gusts generated by oscillating airfoils and used measurements of spanwise and streamwise two-point correlations to characterize the gusts. The spanwise coherence of unsteady wake of a periodically plunging airfoil has been studied. The results indicate that the Strouhal number is the most important parameter that determines the degree of two-dimensionality of the wake. The implications of these findings for experimental gust generators using oscillating airfoils have been discussed. A method to produce single vortical gust has been developed. A nearly two-dimensional vortex of small core size can be generated by the transient plunging motion of an upstream airfoil. In a parallel effort, a novel gust generator has been developed, which does not rely on the vortical shear flows that suffer from three-dimensional instabilities. This has been achieved by oscillating a small fence on the wind tunnel wall and deflecting the freestream periodically. Example of gust-wing interactions for downstream airfoils, unswept and swept wings will be illustrated, revealing the deformation of the incident gust, formation of a leading-edge vortex, and shedding. In general, lift change during the gust encounter is much larger for separated wing flows than for attached flows.

Cross-Cultural Conflict and Pursuit of Identity in Ameen Rihani’s The Book of Khalid
Authors: Abdulaziz Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Multiculturalism is an outcome of developing global culture emanating from ceaseless flow of people between nations and intercultural interactions. Crossing the borders results in psychological transformation of the immigrants as their ethnic identity shaped by social, religious, historical and political forces over decades is in continual flux. Though different kinds of responses to the situation of cultural multiplicity may be diagnosed, the fact remains that there are no simplistic ways of dealing with or responding to multiculturalism. The immigrants face cultural clash and find difficulties in acculturating. When the immigrants come to install in another country, they are accosted with a new culture, a new statute and a reserved group of people who do not mix so very easily. Everyone does not have the capacity to adjust their feelings and mind. They form a community of diaspora who are always reminded of their roots in an alien land. The impact of diasporic experiences on immigrants’ psyche depends on their level of belonging in an alien land. Ameen Rihani’s odyssey from Lebanon to United States gives him a cutting edge over his contemporaries to be established as most revered author of Arabs diaspora abroad. Rihani, molded and transformed by the cultures of his countries of origin, movement and settlement, has been earnestly engaged in re-conceptualizing the idea of diaspora as a profitable affair as opposed to the popular beliefs that render immigration and displacement as a condition of loss. His novels are bulging with different protagonists of staunch spirit and calibrating credence who win the tussle with cultural conflict and in the process evolve and finally lost. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Rihani’s protagonist  Khalid in his novel of the same name evolves with cultural changes, endeavors for pursuit of identity in both origin and adopted worlds and finally takes control of his destiny.
Issues of Alienation and Racial Prejudice in Kamala Markandaya’s The Nowhere Man
Authors: Dr. Sanket Kumar Jha
Published: November 2022

When a person migrates to an alien land, he instantly turns into an outsider–a pariah. He has to struggle a lot both for his new identity and to overcome his feelings of nostalgia. Being accustomed to a social and cultural life, he desires acceptance of the society and assimilation to the new culture. But what he gets is a sense of loss and alienation and hence suffers from insecurity and identity crisis. Gradually, he attempts to adapt to the new ways of life and the new milieu of that adopted land and tends to forget his past. But the irony starts when he returns to his native land only to find himself an alien in his own culture. Hence a migrant who returns finds himself a nowhere man. Markandaya’s novels depict diasporic dilemma arising due to migration and the consequential rootlessness, loneliness and anxiety. This article traces alienation and its aftermath as depicted by Kamal Markandaya in her novel The Nowhere Man.

Published: November 2022

We often wonder what would be the relevance of the message of a monk today, who was born more than 100 years ago, lived the life of a mendicant and left for his heavenly abode at a very young age of 39 years. In this paper, I would focus on the relevance of Swami Vivekananda philosophy of work in modern era. Swami Vivekananda taught on both broad and very deep aspects (not restricted to India alone) encompassing Spiritualism, Universal values, Religion, Character building, Education, Spirit of Service and Social issues. Teachings and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda stressed on different aspects of religion, youth, education, faith, character building as well as social issues pertaining to India. His teachings influenced contemporaries, inspired innumerable followers and started off movements all over India. Swami Vivekananda symbolizes courage, boundless energy and fiery enthusiasm. Millions have been influenced just by his personality. His words ring true and shake people out of their passivity, laziness, weakness, Inertia and sufferings. The ideas of Swami ji have been seen through various eyes and new light has been thrown upon these ideas.
Fervour for Femocracy Reflected in the Works of George Bernard Shaw: A Study of His Plays with Reference to the Synergising Feminist and Democratic Ideologies
Authors: Prof. Prajakta S. Raut,
Published: November 2022

It is the truth universally acknowledged that conventionality is not morality. All that is accepted may not be absolute every time but could just be a time bound adjustment to make the ‘system’ work in itself at a particular period. But as time changes, the laws, rules, or socio- economic codes which permeated one particular era, may stand obsolete for another phase of time; the blow to it always comes in the form of reaction expecting one to retrospect over the existing dichotomy as well as change in the system to meet the changing needs of time. Some may take a safer stance by operating within the system to make it work in itself as well as to keep themselves floating while some may abrogate the norms to change the foundations and re- construct the whole order to adapt to the new surroundings. George Bernard Shaw (26th July 1856-2nd November, 1950) belongs to the second band of reactionists, who will not mind bearing wrath of socio- Cultural temper to unveil hard core reality. A non- conformist ‘naughty nineties' writer of partly Victorian era and basically early twentieth century created a new vista through his ‘unpleasant’ plays by focusing the basis of society in his attempt “ to take literatures seriously,” the fact pinpointed by his later successor T. S. Eliot; as a committed dramatist,  he ‘strip (ped) the ragged follies of the time. Naked, as at their birth and with a whip of steel, print (ed) wounding lashes in the iron ribs.’ If, for him, ‘every great truth commences with blasphemy,’ Shaw's blatant attack did not spare anything and anyone right from slum landlordism, quackery, false notions of Valour, prostitution, idealization of feminity and all. In his propagandist mission to expose all evils, His fervour for ‘femocracy’ is grabbing attention even in the twenty first century and makes him win unequivocally, the label of ‘ Male feminist’ along with being an ‘odd-man- out' to his own milieu. The term, a geological compounding of ‘ female’ and ‘ cracy' and so ‘women’s rule’s has been interchangeably used for women Empowerment and women’s era has been a buzzword in intellectual as well as ‘socialete' circle in today’s time. Shaw, in his fierce endeavour to withdraw women from the stock image of ‘angel in the house’, undoubtedly becomes the recipient of ‘femocrat' tag.
