Authors: Jami Saeed , Irandoust Khadijeh
Published: April 2024

Context: A model of agility ladder tool was designed in the current study to increase cognitive-motor performance in athletes with more advantages over conventional agility ladders. Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop agility tool for athletes using Jami agility table (JAT) which has been the latest training model by creating mental challenge and recruiting muscle movement units for agile performance of sports skills. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, a systematic review of agility development methods were presented to improve psychomotor performance in athletes and then the JAT agility table model was introduced. Based on the JAT, a special code is designed in order to develop agility both physically and mentally aspects, and athlete is always engaged with new algorithms of movement. Results: One of the exclusive functions of JAT, is to increase contextual interference in the performance of motor skills which increases reaction time (RT) in athletes significantly. Laterality detection and empowering non-dominant hemisphere is one of the applications of the JAT, which ultimately increases the comprehensive development of the central nervous system (CNS). Conclusions: The most important aspect of JAT is based on increasing contextual interference and random learning in learners and athletes. Additionally, neuromuscular coordination is one of JAT functions which would improve agility performance in athletes. JAT mechanism has been designed based on Movement algorithm models. In such a training model, which imposes a better cognitive function on the learner and athlete to create better motor memory, the process of constant algorithms is converted into variable and instantaneous algorithms, resulting in more reliable motor outputs.

Background: Intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors can affect the levels of adherence of physical activity (PA) during the aging process. Objectives: Investigate the intrinsic and extrinsic aspects and motivation that led older women to enroll in and adhere to a community PA program before the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data were collected via transversal survey before the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample consisted of 21 women, participants of a PA workshop, aged between 60 to 86 years [< 1-year (n = 8) and ≥ 1-year (n = 13) groups]. Motivation was assessed by the Motivation Inventory for Regular Physical Activity Practice (IMPRAF-54), using the 60th percentile to categorize high and low motivation, and two open questions. For qualitative assessment, content analysis was used and the answers were framed into subcategories regarding the motivation factors for adherence and permanence. Results: That adherence to the program was motivated by sociability purposes [total score: 36.0 (6.0), median (interquartile range)] and pleasure [34.0; (6.0)], while the main motivation for permanence was health [40.0 (11.0)]. Differences were noticed between the groups for sociability [38.0 (3.0) P = 0.030] and competitiveness [9.50 (12.0); P = 0.037] highest medians for the < 1 year group. Furthermore, the factors that least motivated older women were competitiveness and aesthetics. Conclusions: Health and sociability were the main motivators for the practice of physical activity among older adult women. Motivation played a fundamental role in the permanence of older adult women in the physical activity program.

Published: April 2024

Background: Recent research indicates the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency worldwide and is conflicting evidence as to whether vitamin D supplementation actually improves physical performance. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on improving muscle strength, muscle volume and cardiorespiratory fitness through resistance training in male athletes with vitamin D deficiency. Methods: This study was conducted with pre-test and post-test series design and quasi-experimental method. The population included 36 male futsal players with vitamin D deficiency that were randomly divided into four groups of nine: exercise (EX), exercise-supplement (EXS), supplement (SUP) and control (CON). SUP and EXS groups received vitamin D3 (50,000 intramuscular injections) every two weeks for 8 weeks and performed three resistance training (RT) sessions per week at a rate of 75% 1RM. Before and after intervention, blood sampling were drawn and measurements performed for 1RM, muscle volume (cm2), and VO2max by standard Bruce test. Correlated t-test was used to compare pre-test and post-test results and to measure the differences between groups, one-way analysis of variance and LSD post hoc test were used using SPSS statistical software. Results: Muscle volume increased significantly (P-value = 0.001) only in EX and EXS groups. Cardio-respiratory fitness did not change significantly in any of the groups (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences between EXS and SUP groups for any of the measured variables (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: It seems that simultaneous application of vitamin D supplementation and resistance training for 8 weeks does not have a significant effect on the improvement of the strength and endurance of futsal players.

Published: April 2024

Reconstruction of pulverized coal boilers BKZ (Barnaul Boiler Plant, steam productivity 160 t/h, pressure 100 kgf/cm2, fuel: natural gas/fuel oil) with steam productivity of 160 t/h, converted to gas combustion, and an increased load capacity to 210 t/h, has been carried out. As part of the boiler modernization, a chemical water treatment system was reconstructed, significantly improving the quality of feedwater: hardness not exceeding 0.3-0.5 µeq/kg; SiO2 not exceeding 18 µg/kg, and electrical conductivity Х=0.6-1.0 µS/cm. The previously used phosphate regime for boiler water was replaced with a chelant-based regimen using trilon B. During operation, widespread damage to the screen tubes occurred. Circulation tests were conducted on one of the boilers, and an analysis of internal deposits was performed. It was determined that water circulation in the side screen is stable, and its velocities correspond to calculated values. The main cause of metal ruptures in the screen tube is metal corrosion, as well as local overheating of the wall caused by the formation of a steam layer due to the detachment of internal deposits.

Authors: Pei Pengfei , Liang Guoqing , Luan Tao
Published: April 2024

In the digital era, the widespread use of video content has led to the rapid development of video editing technologies. However, it has also raised concerns about the authenticity and integrity of multimedia content. Video splicing forgery has emerged as a challenging and deceptive technique used to create fake video objects, potentially for malicious purposes such as deception, defamation, and fraud. Therefore, the detection of video splicing forgery has become critically important. Nevertheless, due to the complexity of video data and a lack of relevant datasets, research on video splicing forgery detection remains relatively limited. This paper introduces a novel method for detecting video object splicing forgery, which enhances detection performance by deeply exploring inconsistent features between different source videos. We incorporate various feature types, including edge luminance, texture, and video quality information, and utilize a joint learning approach with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) models. Experimental results demonstrate that our method excels in detecting video object splicing forgery, offering promising prospects for further advancements in this field.

Para lograr el objetivo se analizó la información contenida en la encuesta nacional de hogares (ENAHO) para el periodo 2008-2021. El análisis de la mencionada información permitió determinar con claridad que en Lambayeque la pobreza como tal, tiene un alto componente denominado vulnerabilidad, cuyos porcentajes no son nada despreciables y requiere la intervención de cualquier nivel de gobierno subnacional a fin de mitigar el retorno a los niveles de pobreza de quienes habían superado la línea de pobreza. De otro lado se observó que la desigualdad económica ha permanecido constante durante el periodo de estudio, constituyendo este aspecto un posible generador de conflictos sociales, esto se se debe considerar cuando se formulan políticas públicas.

Authors: Lei Jihu
Published: April 2024

During the period after the pandemic, the chemical sector, which is a crucial component of national progress, encounters further obstacles. The industry has been affected by the pandemic, leading to a need for faster transformation and upgrading. Additionally, there is an increased demand for green and environmental protection in the chemical sector due to global climate change and the concept of sustainable development. During the time after the pandemic, there will be a continued trend of industrial clustering and scale development in the chemical sector. It is essential to prioritize optimization via green supply chain management in order to facilitate industrial upgrading. In order to achieve this objective, this study administered a questionnaire survey to gather reliable data. The collected data was then analyzed using software tools like SPSS and AMOS. The analysis aimed to investigate the influence of various factors, including regulatory compliance, green procurement, green manufacturing, green logistics, green sales, competitors, internal environmental protection, and cost control, on the awareness and implementation of green supply chain management in chemical enterprises. Additionally, a structural equation model was constructed to further examine these relationships. The findings suggest that green procurement, manufacturing, logistics, sales, and internal environmental protection and cost control have a notable and beneficial influence on the implementation of green supply chain management. Additionally, the awareness and implementation of green supply chain management also contribute positively to both economic and environmental advantages. This paper offers a theoretical framework for enhancing the efficiency of the green supply chain management system in chemical industrial clusters, hence promoting the environmentally friendly and sustainable growth of the chemical sector.

The purpose of this paper is to trace the development of a community group, ‘East Meets West – Women together in Lancaster’, and to explore the human and theological motivation of those involved. In doing so, I will also explore themes such as empowerment, solidarity, community, and equality. Towards the end I consider what it is that attracts and then retains the interest and commitment of the group members? Is there a distinctive ‘magnet and glue’ about this group and how might it be a beacon for others?
Kenarchy as a Counterpolitical resource: Re-imagining our understanding of land and nature
Authors: Winter Mike
Published: April 2024

This paper seeks to address what the author perceives to be a common misinterpretation of the commandment to subdue the Earth in Genesis 1, using Kenarchy as a means of critiquing sovereignty and re-imaging what a Kenarchic approach to land and the environment might look like. Beginning with an overview of the politics of sovereignty and the development of the nation state, it moves on to consider the impact of this with respect to land, its use, ownership, power, control and borders. It proposes a wider understanding of biopower to include land, its use and the displacement of peoples from their lands, particularly that which has arisen since the industrial revolution, up to modern-day industrialised agriculture. Drawing on contemporary nature writing alongside academic theological texts, this paper aims to open a wider discussion around the ‘othering’ of land and nature, and how this leads to the exploitation of people, land and resources. Disconnection from land and nature has broken a deep-rooted human need for nature-connectedness and encouraged the myth of state soteriology. The paper calls for humanity to rediscover our place within creation with a life-laid-down loving approach, where we work for the well-being of the natural world rather than dominance over it. Citing practical examples, the paper concludes with a challenge to reconsider the command to dominate the Earth, rather hold a new kenarchic perspective to undo the long-held emphasis on subduing nature and rediscover the Earth as a shared resource.
Quality of spray-dried and oven-dried roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) powders
Authors: Estabillo Imma Concepcion
Published: April 2024

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) contains significant amount of anthocyanins and Vitamin C, however, these nutrients are heat sensitive and are easily degraded during heat processing. This study assessed the influence of drying methods on the physicochemical properties of roselle powders. The 80:20(extract:maltodextrin) liquid feed formulation produced the best quality spray-dried powder. Optimum parameters for spray-drying was established at inlet temperature, Ti = 173+ 1°C, outlet temperature, T0 = 73 +1°C, feed rate(R) of 10 rpm and air pressure (P) of 1.5 – 2.0 bars. Presoaking conditions anddrying methods significantly influenced the antioxidant components of the roselle extract powder. At higher water temperatures (50C° and 100°C), higher losses of anthocyanin and Vitamin C were recorded. Likewise, similar changes were observed in the oven – dried (45°C, 24h) roselle powder. Spray – dried powder had lower Aw, moisture, protein, ash and fiber contents than the oven –dried powder. This study suggested that spray –drying protects the essential nutrients anthocyanin and Vitamin C, however, degrades the proximate composition of roselle powder.
