"Background: The effect of stress on sympathetic modulation measured by HRV has been studied in various population groups exposed to different stressors. HRV measurement tools are based on the electrocardiogram (ECG), portable tools such as POLAR V800, and recently photoplethysmography (PPG). The aim of this study was to analyze the validity of a PPG mobile app to measure HRV with a validated V800 system in a tactical athlete population. Methods HRV of 53 professional militaries were analyzed by POLAR V800 and an HRV Camera app with a smartphone during 5 min and 30 s protocol respectively. Results: The HRV values obtained by the PPG presented a significant negative significant correlation in the HRVI index, LF, HF, LF (n.u.), HF (n.u.), and a positive significant correlation in TINN index by the Polar V800 system with the application of a regression equation over the data obtained. Conclusions: HRV Camera PPG App 30s record analysis protocol could be applied using a regression formula depending on the HRV variables after the comparison with a standard 5-minute test conducted with a validated Polar V800. In future research, it is suggested to validate PPG protocols with longer durations."

Today's global strategy to improve the reliability of drinking water supply systems is determined by the focus on maximizing the use of groundwater to provide the population with drinking water. In most cases, information about the availability, volume and quality of groundwater plays a decisive role in making decisions about the effectiveness of the development of a certain area, as well as the improvement and expansion of the physical environment and facilities necessary to support economic activity and meet the vital needs of the people of this region. Therefore, defining of the groundwater distribution, magnitude of its resources, quality and features of formation is crucial in the study of the hydrogeological conditions of the region. An assessment of the groundwater resource potential of West Kazakhstan region was made to ensure sustainable drinking water supply of the population. When assessing the characteristics of fresh groundwater hydrogeological, hydrogeochemical, geoinformation-analytical, statistical and laboratory research methods (including chromatographic, spectrophotometric, atomic absorption, etc.) were used. Such evaluation of the resource potential of fresh groundwater and the prospects for its use for the water supply of cities and towns will make it possible to identify areas with high, medium and poor groundwater supply, and this, in turn, will make it possible to find new sources to cover the needs of domestic and drinking water supply, which will contribute to the sustainable socio-economic development of the West Kazakhstan region.

Motorcycles are relevant in the Brazilian individual transportation fleet, but they are not as studied as passenger cars. In this study, it is presented a review evaluating engine and physical parameters from motorcycles from 2003 to 2020. First, it is presented the Honda sales dominance in all motorcycle segments sales. After, are presented and analyzed the evolution of main parameters (fleet, average price, engine capacity and maximum power, and weight) from 2003 to 2020. Finally, there is a review regarding the Brazilian motorcycle air pollution control (PROMOT), comparing it with the similar European emission program (EURO) and the Brazilian program for car (PROCONVE). It is conclued that public data for motorcycles in Brazil are far less transparent (e.g., fuel economy and CO2 emission official results are not available for the population and researches) when compared to the similar scenario for Brazilian cars. The authors suggest CONAMA to verify the positive aspects of the PROCONVE program and replicate them for PROMOT, which may foster a long-term improvement in the motorcycle fleet.
Ações projetuais e de documentação para uma memória da paisagem sonora carioca: recriar, revelar e registrar eventos urbanos
Authors: Saldanha Pedro Vieira , Rego Andrea Queiroz
Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho contribui para os estudos da paisagem cultural carioca, em especial, a sonora. Nesse sentido, a proposta busca compreender os tipos de transformação ocorridos na paisagem sonora por meio de uma comparação de dois momentos: o início do século XX e a atualidade. O recorte espacial é definido a partir da experiência sonora relatada pelo cronista João do Rio em "A Alma Encantadora das Ruas", de 1908. Dessa forma, a partir da espacialização dos relatos sonoros literários, foi identificada a presença de três tipos de transformação sonora: sons extintos em função da extinção da fonte sonora ou do espaço urbano; sons mascarados ou isolados pela modificação do espaço urbano; e sons deslocados, quando as fontes sonoras são escutadas em outros espaços, ainda hoje. O trabalho objetiva propor ações específicas para cada tipo de transformação, sejam intervenções projetuais ou de documentação fonográfica. Para alcançar esses objetivos, o trabalho utiliza métodos historiográfico e qualitativo, que incluem procedimentos de análise iconográfica e documental, registros cartográficos e passeios sonoros. Aborda questões identitárias ao visar o reconhecimento e a construção de uma memória sonora, por meio da recriação de sons extintos, revelação de sons mascarados ou registro de sons deslocados.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The performance of a good organization can be evaluated through the effectiveness of human resource management practices on employees. However, the problem of employee turnover always occurs because of weaknesses in an organization's human resource management practices, which affect the employee’s employability and organizational commitment. Therefore, this study examines human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment among sports graduates.

 

Design/methodology/approach: This survey study involved 370 Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) sports graduates who have worked in the government and private sectors. This research instrument contains 57 items to measure human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment. Data were analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and structural equation model (SEM) analysis using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software.

 

Findings: The study results show a direct and indirect effect between the variables studied. The study results show that employability partially mediates the relationship between human resource management practices and organizational commitment

 

Practical implications:  This study fills a gap in research by establishing and examining the relationship between the antecedents of human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment. The results of this study can be used by Higher Education institutions to regularly review the curriculum and co-curriculum syllabus to ensure that the graduates’ success can align with the needs of the industry and employers.

Originality/value:  This paper contributes to future research on sports graduates by considering a new method. From this, it can provide an overview to researchers on the importance of human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The objective was to determine the relationship between business innovation and service quality in companies in the sports betting sector.
 
Theoretical framework: Existing theory provided a great deal of knowledge on business innovation and service quality, but there is very little information on these variables together and with the dimensions that have been studied, which is why this research is very important because it contributes new knowledge to scientific research.
 
Design/methodology/approach: A mixed, non-experimental, grounded theory, basic, descriptive-correlational approach was considered, applying the interview to 06 managers and the questionnaire to 50 customers of the companies in the sports betting sector.
 
Results: The findings revealed that there is a connection between the variables, but with some dimensions it was necessary to accept the Ho.
 
Research, practical and social implications: To remain competitive in the face of increasing market demand, companies must take advantage of all opportunities.
 
Originality/value: Concluding that companies urgently need to have a competitive trend that allows them to increase the demand for the services they are offering, but for this, it is necessary to implement strategic management systems with emphasis on service, costs, technology, and the provision of services, since this allows in the long term to position the firm in the market.
Testing Monetary Policy Trilemma for Middle Eastern Economies Under a Bayesian Panel VAR Specification
Authors: Shaheen Rozina , Almaktoom Abdulaziz Turki
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This research aims to investigate the presence of monetary policy trilemma in the Middle Eastern region and evaluate the spillover effects of US monetary policy on the region.
 
Theoretical framework: Middle Eastern economies follow the dollar pegged exchange rate policy with open capital account and this poses a question about the autonomy of the monetary policy stance adopted by the regional central banks. In this context, current research considers variables such as domestic interbank interest rate, domestic liquidity, oil price and federal fund rate to test the monetary policy trilemma in the region
 
Design/methodology/approach: To investigate the presence of monetary policy trilemma in the Middle Eastern region, this research employs the time - varying Bayesian panel vector autoregression approach and selects a panel of five Middle Eastern countries which include Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait while considering the monthly data for the sample period 2009m10 until 2021m12.
 
Findings: This research finds that a positive shock in US federal fund rate increases the domestic interest rates in the Middle Eastern economies. In addition, this research finds a negative relationship between oil price shocks and domestic interest rates. Whereas a positive shock in US federal fund rates induces a reduction in the oil price.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: Current research provides insights for policy makers to determine the autonomy of domestic monetary policy stance to achieve its broader macroeconomic objectives.
 
Originality/value: This research is unique as it examines the monetary policy trilemma while considering oil price as a control variable in the system under a time varying Bayesian panel vector autoregression specification.
Exertional rhabdomyolysis-induced “normokalemic” severe acute kidney injury. A case report and a brief literature review
Authors: GÜVEN Alper Tuna , ÖZELSANCAK Rüya
Published: July 2023

Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of the muscle cells with the resultant leakage of intracellular components. Hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia may occur during the disease course, as well as acute kidney injury due to blockade of the tubules by myoglobin released from the muscle cells. Electrolyte disturbances are generally more severe than acute kidney injuries. We would like to report a patient who was diagnosed with exertional rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury due to vigorous swimming and who required hemodialysis but lacked hyperkalemia. The discrepancy between the severe acute kidney injury and lack of hyperkalemia was remarkable. A brief literature search also revealed several patient reports with hypo- and normokalemia despite experiencing acute kidney injury. Pathophysiologic explanations for this discrepancy include exercise-induced increased kaliuresis and intracellular shifting of potassium.

Factors Influencing Interest in Post-Secondary Agricultural International Travel Experiences
Authors: Pruitt Ross , Watson Diana , Santiago Michelle
Published: July 2023

International travel experiences (ITE) are high-impact practices that allow post-secondary agricultural students the opportunity to engage with production processes and commodities in other countries. In addition to adding tremendous value to their technical knowledge base students are also able to learn about new cultures. Prior research has focused on factors influencing students’ decision to participate in ITE programs. This study builds on research using best-worst scaling to quantitatively analyze motivations or obstacles impacting students’ intention to participate in an ITE. This approach provides a preference share which can be directly compared to other motivations or obstacles in a manner that Likert scales cannot. Students majoring in agriculture at two comprehensive regional universities were surveyed on their motivations or hesitancy in participating in an ITE. Use of the best-worst scaling method reveals that the opportunity for personal growth and earning academic credit are the two primary reasons generating interest in an ITE while cost and concerns about not earning academic credit are the primary reasons for students’ hesitancy in participating. The results of this study can be used by university coordinators in utilization of their limited resources to improve ITE and overcome hesitancy of students.
Medieval bling: the display of jewellery on women's funerary monuments from England in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
Authors: Walker Pam
Published: August 2023

This article suggests that more detailed analysis must be done when using artistic sources, in particular, funerary monuments, as evidence for medieval dress. Using archaeological, documentary, and literary evidence for jewellery in England in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, it asks why what seems to be a popular accessory was very rarely depicted on sculpted effigies and monumental brasses. Assumptions from just the visual evidence would conclude that brooches in particular were not a common piece of jewellery for noble women, but this does not correspond with the material evidence. The focus of this article, therefore, is on using an interdisciplinary approach to look at monuments as a source in their own right rather than as just a general mirror of contemporary fashion. By looking at three case studies, the article shows that deeper analysis of specific monuments can put them into religious, political, and historical context and provide information about the women depicted on them and the significance of accessories, such as brooches.

Rethinking the 'Spetctrum of Luxury': Roman jewellery from the Bay of Naples
Authors: Ward Courtney A.
Published: August 2023

Roman jewellery is often seen as a clear marker of wealth and luxury. While it is often classified and analysed as a single class and with an emphasis on pieces composed of gold and other precious materials, it is only when we start to look at the differences between individual objects that we can get a more nuanced understanding of this material culture and its role in Roman society and culture. Undoubtedly there was a market for comparable forms of jewellery for women from different socio-economic backgrounds to display similar aspects of their identities but within their own budgets (e.g., young, (presumably) married mothers-to-be). It is only by considering the spectrum of luxury that we can highlight how differences in quality and design reveal important choices behind the use of particular items of jewellery or packages of personal adornment. In other words, we should be cautious of grouping all jewellery together and under the simple label of ‘luxury.’ Not all gold jewellery, for example, was created equal.

Baldock torcs: penannular neck rings from south-eastern Roman Britain and their significance for the development of provincial identities
Authors: Marshall Michael
Published: August 2023

This study defines and characterises the ‘Baldock’ group of copper-alloy penannular torcs, which were worn in south-eastern Britain during the 1st century AD. Torcs had an important local pre-Roman pedigree, but this new regional style of dress seems to have emerged around the time of the Claudian invasion and was worn in the heart of the new Roman province of Britannia. The significance of these torcs is explored, focusing on the new social contexts in which they circulated, their connections to new kinds of provincial identities, and the ways in which torcs were reimagined and transformed within Romano-British society.

Authors: Girbu Ecaterina
Published: July 2023

The aim of this article is to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the professional and personal aspects of composers and musicians’ lives, the changes and shifts brought by the COVID-19 in their financial status, consistency of work and sense of accomplishment. The researched set of data based on profound analysis of statistics confirm the heightened susceptibility of the classical music industry to the dramatically turnaround reflected in closing concert venues, isolating musicians not only socially, but also financially. This phenomenon also determined major metamorphosis in musicians’ inspiration and motivation, their emotional experiences being severely damaged by the feelings of loneliness and uncertainty. While confronting disruptions in their creative processes, affected by the severe restrictions caused by the pandemic, musicians develop feelings of insecurity and fail to fulfil their essential psychological needs. Despite the faced obstacles, musicians found new ways of continuing to manifest their creativity. The information investigated in this article shows that up-to-date devices have permitted them to continue their artistic activities through online concerts and contribute to escalating the classical music consumption to unimaginable triumph.
Aspects of Assessing Noise and Vibration in Mechanical Transmissions
Authors: Slobodeaniuc Stanislav
Published: July 2023

The problem of noise and vibration is very popular among mechanical constructions, and especially in mechanical constructions inside which different types of movements occur in order to produce a necessary mechanical work. The study of mechanical transmissions under the vibroacoustic aspect is quite important because the oscillations produced inside the aggregate not only create unwanted acoustic discomfort during the actual operation, but also lead to the damage of the construction, finally, to its failure. In the paper, the sources of occurrence and the most practiced methods of vibroacoustic determination were structured with the presentation of some practical solutions. Information and computer modeling technologies allow models to be simulated at the design/upgrade stage in order to determine their weak points and possible areas of occurrence of oscillations during operation under high loads and variable speeds. For the acquisition of experimental data, specialized software is used, one of which is Lab VIEW.

One of the main objectives of this study is to help prioritize targets for law enforcement by analyzing online websites hosting child exploitation material and finding key players within. Key players are defined as websites that display a combination of high connectivity and a lot of hardcore material and would provide the most disruption in a network if they were to be removed. In this study, various strategies based on Principal Component Analysis are presented to identify those nodes that act as the key players in an online child exploitation network. For evaluating the results of these strategies, we consider the results of various attack strategies. The measures for evaluation are the density, clustering coefficient, average path length, diameter, and the number of connected components in the resulting network. The results show that the strategies proposed are more successful at reducing all of the outcome measures than existing strategies.

A helmet is a protective device that is worn on the head and made of metal or other hard materials. Indonesia is a country that requires motorcyclists to wear helmets. Lack of public awareness in driving using a helmet can endanger themselves and others. For this reason, an information technology system is necessary to monitor traffic activities 24 hours a day. This study designed an application to detect the use of helmets and classify motorists using helmets or not. The method used in detecting objects in the head area uses the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method with the You Look Only Once (YOLO) Algorithm. This system is able to detect violations committed by motorcycle riders. The accuracy of detecting helmet use with the training dataset as a test method of model evaluation produces predictions with an average accuracy rate of 89.04%, and the avg_loss training yields a rate of 1.2%.
