Authors: Семенова Н.Н. , Кормишкин Е.Д.
Published: June 2024

В статье рассматривается проблема монетарного неравенства в российской экономике. Проведен анализ основных показателей, характеризующих монетарное неравенство в обществе (индекс Джини, коэффициент фондов, распределение денежных доходов российского населения по 20%-м группам) в период 2000 – 2022 гг. Рассмотрена позиция России по уровню индекса Джини среди некоторых стран мира. С целью преодоления проблемы монетарного неравенства обоснованы направления трансформации налогообложения физических лиц: установление прогрессивной шкалы налога на доходы физических лиц; введение налога на наследство и дарение; модернизация механизма налогообложения объектов роскоши. Сделан вывод о том, что реформирование действующего налогового законодательства следует проводить на основе тщательного анализа преимуществ и негативных последствий введения новых и модернизации существующих налогов.

Palindromic Antimagic Labeling of Products of Paw and Banner Graph
Authors: Reka P. , Soundariya S. P.
Published: June 2024

This article presents a novel classification of Antimagic labeling referred to as Palindromic antimagic. Palindromic Antimagic labeling pertains to the assignment of palindromic numbers {℘1, ℘2, ℘3 . . . ℘q} to the set of edges of a graph G = (V, E), where G consists of p vertices and q edges. This labeling is characterized by being invertible, meaning that each edge is uniquely associated with a palindromic number. Additionally, it involves an injective mapping of vertex labeling, where the sum of incident edges for any given vertex is distinct from one another. Inthis study, we examine the palindromic antimagic labeling of Cartesian and Tensor product of certain Tadpole graphs, such as the paw and banner graph.
Mirror Symmetry, Zeta Functions and Mackey Functors
Authors: Rahmati Mohammad Reza
Published: June 2024

We present two alternative and new proofs for the duality between orbifold zeta functions of Berglund-Hubsch dual invertible polynomials. We re-prove the following theorem; Assume W and WT are dual invertible polynomials in n+2 variables. Denote by (XW, G) and (XWT ; GT) the corresponding Berglund-Hubsch dual hypersurfaces in Pn+1, where G and GT stands for their group of symmetries. The orbifold L-series of XW and XWT satisfy: (*) Lorb(XW, s) = Lorb(XWT, s)(-1)n. The above relation was proved by Ebeling-GusseinZade (2017), by other methods. We present two proofs of the above identity (*). Our methods of proof are different. The first proof uses cohomological Mackey functors on Mackey systems. The second proof is independent and uses a formula for the orbifold zeta functions from [1]. For an orbifold (X, G) we consider a Mackey system of subgroups of G and cohomological Mackey functors on this Mackey system. We investigate the relation between the above L-series of orbifolds and the Mackey functors. We show the orbifold cohomology H*orb(X, C) is an EndCG[⊕gCG/C(g)]-module, that means; the orbifold cohomology defines a cohomological Mackey functor on the Mackey system of conjugacy classes in G. This leads one to split the zeta function according to properties of G-cohomological Mackey functors. This method allows obtaining identities on orbifold zeta functions from identities in a Grothendick group associated with subgroup quotients of G. In this context, the relation (1) is a consequence of cohomological mirror symmetry and Mackey structure. In other words, we obtain the identity (1) from Mackey type of identities in a Grothendieck group followed by a multiplicative homomorphism constructed from zeta functions of a Galois representation. The second proof uses a duality between age functions ι: G→Z, and ιT: GT→Z, of the dual invertible polynomials. It is known that GT is the character group of G. We show that these age functions are Fourier transforms of each other with respect to a unitary representation obtained from the natural pairing between G and GT. Using a formula of the orbifold zeta function from [1] in terms of the age functions, we deduce a comparison of zeta functions for the two dual invertible polynomials as given in the above.

Published: June 2024

En trabajos anteriores presentamos un novedoso sensor multiparamétrico que mide simultáneamente el índice de refracción y la velocidad del sonido en un líquido aprovechando el efecto acusto-óptico. El sensor requiere un sistema de iluminación que expanda el haz láser de manera tal que interactúe eficazmente con el líquido bajo estudio. Por otra parte, también es necesario un sistema de proyección a fin de capturar adecuadamente el patrón de difracción a la salida de la celda. En este sentido, en este artículo, presentamos la optimización del sistema de iluminación y proyección del sensor utilizando la herramienta computacional de diseño óptico Zemax OpticStudio. El rango considerado de índices de refracción de las muestras líquidas está comprendido entre 1,33 y 1,51. Como resultado se obtuvo una correcta expansión del haz incidente sobre la celda, y el sistema de proyección logra una imagen con muy pocas aberraciones y una separación angular adecuada entre los máximos del patrón de difracción. A su vez, las dimensiones resultantes del sensor luego de la optimización del sistema de iluminación y proyección permiten afirmar que es compacto y portable.

This research was carried out to assess the perception and acceptance of male midwives among pregnant women in selected general hospitals in Lagos State. The objectives of this study were to assess their perception and acceptance; and identify the factors influencing their acceptance of male midwives. A systematic sampling technique was used in selecting three hundred and twenty-seven (327) pregnant women, but only three hundred and twelve (312) of them were validated for the study. A self-developed questionnaire served as the primary instrument of data collection for the study, and the data collected were analyzed and presented on frequency/percentage tables and bar chart(s) using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 and Microsoft Excel version 2010. The findings revealed an overall positive perception and good level of acceptance of male midwives among them. The factors influencing their acceptance of male midwives were availability and accessibility of male midwives (67.6%); communication and trust (64.4%); trust in the competence of male midwives (64.1%); peer and family influence (63.5%); personal comfort level with opposite gender healthcare providers (62.8%); personal beliefs and preferences (62.8%); emotional support (60.9%); availability of information and education about male midwives (60.3%); cultural beliefs and norms (59.9%); religious beliefs and practices (58.7%); and previous experiences (52.6%). The study found a significant relationship between their perception and acceptance of male midwives (p < .05); between their age and factors influencing acceptance of male midwives (p < .05). Based on these findings, the study concluded that there is a need to ensure consistency and improvement in their knowledge and perception through proper evaluation and amelioration of the factors influencing their acceptance of male midwives.
Common Reporting Standard as a model for tax information exchange: mechanism of operation and implementation status in Ukraine
Authors: Krasovskyi Vadym
Published: June 2024

The article studies the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), an information standard for the automatic exchange of tax information between states that are parties to the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA). It also explores the prospects of Ukraine’s participation in the exchange under this standard. The study analyzes the information subject to international exchange, types of financial institutions required to collect and submit tax-relevant information to authorities for international exchange, account types, tax residents, and methods of verifying client integrity when opening accounts. The article aims to systematize knowledge about the prerequisites for creating, the mechanism of intergovernmental tax cooperation within the CRS framework, current results achieved under this standard, Ukraine’s accession status, steps taken by Ukraine towards implementing automatic exchange of tax information, and recommendations for accountable entities and account holders on complying with CRS rules. The study employed a comprehensive research methodology, including a literature review, analysis of normative documents, and comparative analysis. The conclusions emphasize the crucial importance of Ukraine’s accession to the CRS standard for ensuring proper tax compliance and budgetary revenues, particularly amid full-scale Russian aggression. The study also describes the challenges, especially regarding compliance with tax data exchange requirements by financial institutions and account holders. It underscores the need for strong political will from Ukrainian authorities to overcome obstacles and ensure effective CRS implementation. Overall, the study highlights the significant role of CRS in improving tax collection while acknowledging the hurdles ahead. The research perspective on this topic is extensive, given that automatic tax information exchange, particularly under the investigated standard, is currently being established and is relatively underexplored by researchers.

Framed within the Sociomusicology Theory, this article argued that through the revival of Khoisan indigenous music, South Africa can promote social cohesion, bridging gaps between different ethnic groups and creating a more inclusive society. The Khoisan people, also known as Bushmen or San, are one of the oldest indigenous groups in Africa, and their music is an integral part of their identity and history. However, Khoisan indigenous music in South Africa has been forgotten and marginalised. This can be attributed to various factors including colonialism. In recent years, there has been a quest for revitalising the overlooked and marginalised Khoisan indigenous music in South Africa. Notwithstanding, minimal attention has been given to reviving the forgotten and marginalised Khoisan indigenous music in South Africa and this has become a matter of great concern. This article thus sought to understand the importance of reviving the forgotten and marginalised Khoisan indigenous music in South Africa. In this article, a qualitative content analysis was employed to successfully analyse the purpose of this paper. The findings demonstrated that the extinction of Khoisan indigenous music is attributed to various historical, social, and cultural factors, including colonialism, cultural assimilation, and modernisation. The paper concluded by affirming that the Khoisan indigenous music holds a deep cultural significance for the Khoisan people and South Africa as a whole. It serves as a potent vehicle for the expression and preservation of their great connection to nature, spiritual beliefs, and rich cultural history.

Keywords: Culture, Extinction, Khoisan Indigenous Music, Marginalised, Sociomusicology Theory
An update for Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) distribution in Belgium
Authors: Noël Grégoire , Segers Arnaud , Carpentier Joachim , Rossini Luca , Garone Emanuele , Francis Frédéric
Published: June 2024

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, represents an important insect pest and subsequently an important agricultural threat due to its polyphagous feeding habits and adaptability to diverse climates. Native from East Asia, its recent establishment in various regions, including North America and Europe, has led to substantial yield losses and economic impacts, which highlight the need for comprehensive research efforts, based on data occurrence by combining those from expert entomologists and citizen scientists. We reported here 14 new occurrences of this insect pest in the three regions of Belgium. Then, these data were merged with data occurrences from other studies and GBIF datasets of Belgium. The combined dataset showed a peak of presence of Halyomorpha halys in October and a dominance of field observations from citizen scientists especially in the nothern part of Belgium, Flanders. Crowd-sourced data have provided valuable insights into the presence and distribution of Halyomorpha halys in Belgium. Given the importance of the generated dataset, it could be asserted that this pest is uniformly distributed across the entire country, which necessitates additional research to evaluate its impact on various crops.
A Comparative Study of Data Mining Methods for Solar Radiation and Temperature Forecasting Models
Authors: Alay F. Didem , İlhan Nagehan , Güllüoğlu M. Tahir
Published: June 2024

Photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are a leading type of renewable energy systems globally. Predicting PV energy production accurately is crucial for maintaining efficient energy grids, making informed decisions in the energy market, and reducing maintenance costs. To ensure high accuracy and optimal production, it is essential to monitor and analyze these variables regularly. Solar radiation and temperature are two meteorological variables that directly affect the quantity of PV energy generated in PV facilities. The Performance Ratio (PR) is a critical parameter for assessing PV plant performance. A comprehensive model was constructed in this study to forecast solar radiation and temperature using multiple machine learning methods, including Instance-Based K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm (IBK), Linear Regression, Random Forests, Random Tree, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and MLP Regression. Moreover, we used time series approaches, such as Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES), Error-Trend-Seasonality (ETS), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Holt Winter's Seasonal Method (HWES) models for PV systems prediction. Initially, we conducted daily forecasts as well as 1-step ahead forecasts at 5-minute intervals for both solar radiation and temperature. It is crucial to subject both variables to the same methodology in order to construct precise models for forecasting PV. Secondly, we compared the predicted values of solar radiation and temperature with the actual energy yield of the power plant to calculate energy production. Subsequently, a relative analysis of data mining models and time series models have been performed depending on the statistical error criteria like RMSE, MAPE, MABE, MAE, MSE, and direction accuracy (DAC).

Published: June 2024

Ganoderma is a large and diverse genus containing fungi that cause white rot to infect a number of plant families. This study describes G. phyllanthicola and G. suae as new species from Southwest China, based on morphological and molecular evidence. Ganoderma phyllanthicola is characterized by dark brown to purplish black pileus surface with dense concentric furrows, pale yellow margin, irregular pileipellis cells, small pores (5–7 per mm) and ellipsoid to sub-globose basidiospores (8.5–10.0 × 6.0–7.5 µm). Ganoderma suae is characterized by reddish brown to oxblood red pileus surface and lead gray to greyish-white pore surface, heterogeneous context, wavy margin and almond-shaped to narrow ellipsoid basidiospores (8.0–10.5 × 5.0–7.0 μm). The phylogeny of Ganoderma is reconstructed with multi-gene sequences: the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), the large subunit (nrLSU), translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF-1α) and the second subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2). The results show that G. suae and G. phyllanthicola formed two distinct line-ages within Ganoderma. Descriptions, illustrations and phylogenetic analyses results of the two new species are presented.
Iacopo Zeno e le Vitae pontificum
Authors: Bianca Concetta
Published: June 2024

Iacopo Zeno (1422-1481), vescovo di Feltre e Belluno (1447-1460) e poi di Padova dal 1460, presente in curia a più riprese, con Pio II e Paolo II, aveva raccolto fin da giovane un’ampia e raffinata biblioteca, ricca anche di incunaboli e si era dedicato alla scrittura storica, come dimostrano alcuni scritti giovanili (consolatorie ed orazioni). Non portò invece a compimento il De pontificibus, opera dove la storia della Chiesa ha inizio con san Pietro per arrivare a Clemente V, a differenza del coetaneo Bartolomeo Platina che, partendo dalla vita di Cristo, era arrivato fino a Sisto IV.
Galicia ¿escuela de subalternidad?
Authors: Álvarez Marta , Montero Laureano
Published: June 2024

María Ruido se ha convertido en una de las videoartistas, cineastas (en un sentido amplio de la palabra), más reconocidas del panorama español contemporáneo. Sus filmes cuestionan las relaciones de poder, con una mirada perfilada por sus bases teóricas marxistas y feministas. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar lo determinante que ha sido en esos posicionamientos el contexto en el que se formó la directora: el de la Galicia del tardofranquismo, de la transición y de la entrada en democracia. Las circunstancias y acontecimientos relativos a esos periodos son centrales en sus documentales La memoria interior (2002) y Plan Rosebud (2006-2008), a los que dedicaremos especial atención en estas páginas, así como a un último proyecto, Las reglas del juego (2022).
Medio siglo investigando sobre los inicios del movimiento obrero en Galicia
Authors: Brey Gérard
Published: June 2024

Ce modeste essai d’égo-histoire retrace le parcours d’un étudiant en Etudes Hispaniques devenu progressivement historien de l’Espagne contemporaine au fil de ses recherches sur l’anarchisme rural andalou, puis sur les débuts du mouvement ouvrier en Galice. C’est aussi l’occasion de proposer un bref bilan des travaux effectués dans ce second domaine par d’autres chercheurs, toutes et tous galiciens.
D’Ángel Rodríguez Leira à Ángel Cariño López

Cet article retrace le parcours d’un combattant antifasciste qui, fuyant l’Espagne franquiste, poursuit la lutte contre le nazisme en Afrique du Nord et en Europe avant de se retrouver en France, où il s’installe et vit jusqu’à sa mort, sans jamais retourner en Galice. Comme tant d’autres exilés, le destin de notre protagoniste est marqué par les guerres civile et mondiale, par la séparation de sa famille et de son pays, par la reconstruction d’une nouvelle vie en France, par le silence et par la présence d’un passé complexe et difficile.
Elles ont émigré seules pendant le franquisme : femmes galiciennes du pays de Sarria en Catalogne
Authors: Rubio-Milet Emma
Published: June 2024

L’émigration des femmes galiciennes est longtemps restée invisible dans l’histoire des migrations, en particulier sous le franquisme. Et pourtant elles ont émigré. Contre toute attente si l’on s’en tient à l’idéologie imposée aux femmes par le régime, elles ont souvent émigré seules. Cet article s’attache à retracer les parcours migratoires de quatre Galiciennes de la province de Lugo, entre 1940 et 1960, de la pionnière qui a souhaité le départ dès l’enfance à la cadette qui l’a subi vingt ans plus tard. Nous récupérons des fragments de ces parcours invisibles à partir de la mémoire qu’elles ont gardée du chemin qui les a menées de Fruxil (Lugo) à Manresa (Barcelone) où elles ont travaillé, fondé une famille et vécu le reste de leurs vies. On rappellera l’importance des réseaux migratoires (r)établis par les pionnières mais la singularité de chaque parcours sera soulignée comme autant d’expériences uniques de la migration dont elles sont, seules, les actrices. A partir de quatre figures réelles de migrantes, ici des Galiciennes, ce travail s’efforce de recomposer une réalité des parcours de milliers de femmes qui ont participé aux migrations intérieures sous le franquisme, l’un des mouvements migratoires les plus importants du XXe siècle.
La langue galicienne, de la répression à la reconnaissance
Authors: Monteagudo Henrique
Published: June 2024

Jusqu'à une époque récente, la situation de la langue galicienne a reçu peu d'attention de la part de la littérature scientifique internationale. Ces dernières années, cependant, les particularités du contexte galicien ont commencé à attirer l'attention. Sur la base des apports les plus récents, cet article présente une vue d'ensemble de la situation sociolinguistique de la Galice, revient brièvement sur son contexte historique et examine son évolution depuis 1980, année du début de la période d'autonomie politique de la Galice, tout en accordant une attention particulière aux politiques linguistiques mises en œuvre et à leur effet sur la dynamique de substitution et de revitalisation du galicien.
Lire ou voir ? Ernst Cassirer et Hans Blumenberg sur la pensée et l’image
Authors: Priebe Maximilian
Published: June 2024

Ernst Cassirer et Hans Blumenberg ont évalué le rôle de l’« image » dans la pensée de manière différente. Cet article présente Cassirer comme le philosophe de la « lecture », tandis que Blumenberg apparaît comme le philosophe de la « vision ». Cassirer veut montrer que chaque acte de représentation intérieure figurative par la pensée peut être déconstruit en signes plus élémentaires qui doivent être « lus » avant d’être « vus ». En revanche, Blumenberg fonde l’acte même de la pensée conceptuelle sur la rhétorique, à savoir sur les images qui sont littéralement « visibles » dans la structure des métaphores : dans son sous-sol de pensée « voir » précède « lire ». En situant ces deux approches dans le contexte de la querelle post-kantienne sur le rôle des images dans la physique du xxe siècle, cet article met à jour une partie de la préhistoire de ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui le « visual turn » dans les sciences humaines.
The Imperial Castle in Poznań: Histories of its Polonization
Authors: Korduba Piotr
Published: June 2024

The Imperial Castle in Poznań, conceived as a residence for Wilhelm II, reflects a complex history of Polonization. The original project aimed to culturally and politically “elevate” (heben) the eastern German provinces. The castle was at the centre of a symbolical space, surrounded by institutions (Academy Building, Prussian Settlement Commission, etc.) showcasing national identity. After First World War, the building was “polonized”, which included removing German symbols and its establishment as a residence of the President of the Republic, while many of the surrounding buildings housed key Faculties of the newly created University of Poznań. The castle’s role during Second World War as Hitler’s residence and subsequent adaptation in the post-war era further shaped its identity narrative. The decision to preserve it after the war faced opposition, but since its transformation into the “Palace of Culture” in 1962 (renamed “Zamek [Castle] Culture Centre” in 1993), it rapidly become part of public memory. Post-1989, discussions on the castle’s function and identity led to renovations, the establishment of the “Royal-Imperial Route” destined at tourists, a revived interest in its history, and even local pride. The castle, once a symbol of German rule, now stands as a dynamic part of the city’s history, integrating past narratives with contemporary cultural functions. However, the reconstruction of the “Polish” Royal Castle of Przemysł II, which started in 2010, a controversial project aiming to overshadow the “German” Imperial Castle, reflects tensions between historical narratives in Poznań. Recent developments, such as events organized by the LGBT+ community, showcase the castle’s evolving meaning.
Entre la utopía y la conexión con la memoria y la identidad
Authors: Chávez Águeda
Published: June 2024

À partir de la mémoire individuelle et collective, Roberto Castillo, dans La guerra mortal de los sentidos (2002), montre comment les modes de vie sont conservés, d’une part, et comment ils sont reconfigurés, d’autre part, à travers les événements historiques et la manière de concevoir et de dire. Nous sommes témoins ici d’un passé mémoriel qui a la vertu de ne pas avoir disparu. Castillo s’approprie des faits historiques pour créer une fiction autour de l’un des groupes ethniques les plus importants du Honduras : les lencas. L’objectif est d’explorer des thèmes allant de la vie quotidienne aux événements les plus improbables, en les extrayant d’un corpus d’éléments référentiels qui accompagnent le langage : mythico-religieux, politiques et socioculturels, tous dépositaires d’événements collectifs attachés à la mémoire et à l’identité du peuple. Les éléments qui composent le tissu social collectif à travers l’utilisation du langage narratif par Castillo rendent compte de l’être et de l’appartenance à un groupe social au-delà de la pratique de la connaissance scientifique ou de l’existence d’une langue propre : par le biais de la mémoire vivante. Sur fond de recherche du dernier locuteur de la langue lenca, les utopies sont revitalisées et l’on retrouve la connexion avec les lieux, les liens sociaux, le sentiment d’appartenance et le respect du tissu culturel.
El río Magdalena como guardián de memoria y árbol de agua de Colombia en Los escogidos y Grávido río
Authors: Escobar Villegas Julia
Published: June 2024

La Colombie est un pays sillonné de fleuves, et son fleuve vertébral, le Magdalena, est imaginé comme un fleuve de mort sur le plan social et environnemental. Cet article présente des réinterprétations du Magdalena dans la littérature : en tant que gardien de la mémoire de la guerre, au-delà de l’image de fosse commune, et en tant qu’arbre d’eau qui relie les humains et les écosystèmes sur tout le territoire national. Ces imaginaires spectraux et arborescents suggèrent que le renouveau des liens avec la nature, sur les plans physique et symbolique, est essentiel pour dessiner d’autres futurs possibles en Colombie.
Perdre la mémoire «cuando más la necesito»
Authors: Torrents Cécile
Published: June 2024

« ¿Por qué pierdo la memoria cuando más la necesito? », s’écrie Ismael, narrateur autodiégétique du roman Los ejércitos (2006) du Colombien Evelio Rosero. Alors que le personnage cherche désespérément sa femme disparue dans les rues d’un village décimé par différents groupes armés, sa mémoire s’altère et se détériore. Notre analyse partira du cri de désespoir d’Ismael et nous mènera à réfléchir à l’enjeu vital que représente la mémoire, pour la Colombie, pour le récit et pour le personnage, tous menacés par cette amnésie causée par la violence d’un conflit armé qui dure depuis plus de 60 ans.«¿Por qué pierdo la memoria cuando más la necesito?», grita Ismael, narrador autodiegético de la novela Los ejércitos (2006) del colombiano Evelio Rosero. Mientras el personaje busca desesperadamente a su mujer desaparecida en las calles de un pueblo masacrado por diferentes grupos armados, su memoria se altera y se deteriora. Nuestro análisis empezará con el grito de desesperación de Ismael y nos llevará a reflexionar sobre el objetivo vital que representa la memoria, para Colombia, para el relato y para el personaje, todos amenazados por una amnesia causada por la violencia de un conflicto armado que dura desde hace más de 60 años.

Collegiate Student-Athletes’ Use and Knowledge of Third-Party-Tested Nutritional Supplements: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Schott Kinta D. , Seltzer Ryan G. N. , Zorn Sebastian P. , Frakes Matthew , Price Meredith , Valliant Melinda Wells , Ritz Peter , Gardner Christopher , Wardenaar Floris C.
Published: June 2024

Context

Nutritional supplement use in athletes is common, accompanied by potential doping risk.

Objective

To determine athletes’ nutritional supplement and third-party-tested (TPT) supplement use, supplement knowledge, and factors influencing their behavior.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletic departments.

Patients or Other Participants

Student-athletes (n = 410, 53% female, age = 21.4 ± 1.6 years).

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Survey questions addressed topics including nutritional supplement knowledge and use, TPT supplement knowledge and use, and logo recognition, and data were stratified for sex differences.

Results

Athletes (91%) reported the use of supplements, but the total number of supplements used was lower in female (median = 7; interquartile range, 4–11) than in male (median = 9; interquartile range, 4–12) athletes, with U = 17 960 and P = .01. A total of 48% (n = 191, out of 402 responses) reported purchasing supplements outside of their athletic department, with significantly fewer female (40%, n = 84) than male (56%, n = 107) athletes reporting this behavior (χ2 = 11.20, P < .001). No association between TPT logo recognition and TPT use was seen (χ2 = 0.238, P = .63). Of all athletes using supplements, 38% (n = 140) reported “consistent TPT use,” whereas female athletes (36%, n = 70) reported this less often than male athletes (41%, n = 70, χ2 = 0.952, P < .32). No sex differences were seen for receiving nutritional counseling (89%, P = .37) or low nutritional supplement knowledge (<50%, P = .38); however, males had 2.5 times greater odds at recognizing a TPT organization logo than females (odds ratio = 2.45; 95% CI, 1.58–3.79).

Conclusions

Most athletes use nutritional supplements. Female athletes report slightly fewer supplements than male athletes, while also less frequently purchasing them outside their athletic department, potentially explaining the lower TPT logo recognition in female athletes.
