Authors: Boehringer Samuel , Whyte Douglas G.
Published: May 2019

Boehringer, S and Whyte, DG. Validity and test-retest reliability of the 1080 Quantum System for bench press exercise. J Strength Cond Res 33(12): 3242–3251, 2019—This study assessed the validity and reliability of the 1080 Quantum (1080Q) during the bench press exercise. Twenty-seven resistance-trained men (28 ± 4 years; body mass 88.9 ± 12.8 kg; 1 repetition maximum [1RM] bench press 94.8 ± 10.7 kg) completed 2 test-retest sessions, separated by 1 week. In each session, subjects performed single repetitions at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80% of their bench press 1RM. Mean velocity (Vmean), peak velocity (Vpeak), mean force (F
mean), peak force (F
peak), mean power (Pmean), and peak power (Ppeak) were simultaneously assessed using the 1080Q Synchro and a linear position transducer (GymAware; Kinetic Performance Technology, Canberra, Australia). The overall performance of the 1080Q was both valid (r = 0.94–1.00) and reliable (coefficient of variation [CV] = 1.7–8.0%, intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.90–1.00) for all measures, although both fixed and systematic biases were present. When assessed at each of the relative loads, the 1080Q remained valid for all measures apart from F
mean at 30% 1RM (r = 0.78) and F
peak at 70 (r = 0.81) and 80% (r = 0.57) 1RM. The 1080Q also demonstrated excellent reliability at all relative loads apart from the heaviest, where Vmean (CV = 11.0%, ICC = 0.69), Pmean (CV = 11.4%, ICC = 0.65), and Ppeak (CV = 10.2%, ICC = 0.79) reliability was reduced. These data indicate that athletes and strength and conditioning coaches can confidently use the 1080Q to monitor training progression; however, caution should be taken when assessing performance measures at the either end of the load spectrum.

Choi, JH, Kim, DE, and Cynn, HS. Comparison of trunk muscle activity between traditional plank exercise and plank exercise with isometric contraction of ankle muscles in subjects with chronic low back pain. J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2407–2413, 2021—This study aimed to compare the effects of 4 different ankle conditions on the activities of rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), transversus abdominis/internal oblique (TrA/IO), and erector spinae (ES) muscles during plank exercise in subjects with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Twenty-two subjects with CLBP participated in this study. The subjects performed the traditional plank and plank with 3 different ankle muscle contraction types (isometric contraction of ankle dorsiflexor, plantarflexor, and without ankle muscle contraction). Surface electromyography was used to measure the activities of RA, EO, TrA/IO, ES, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius muscles. A 1-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to assess the statistical significance of activities of the RA, EO, TrA/IO, and ES muscles. The activities of RA, EO, and TrA/IO muscles were significantly greater in the plank with isometric contraction of ankle dorsiflexor (PlankDF) than in the other 3 plank exercises. No significant difference in the activity of ES muscles was revealed during the 4 plank exercises. The activities of all abdominal muscles during PlankDF were significantly higher than those during the traditional plank, as well as during the plank with isometric contraction of ankle plantarflexor (PlankPF) and the plank without ankle muscular contraction (Plankw/o), and more than 60% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction was observed. Thus, PlankDF could be applied not only as a rehabilitation strategy for patients with decreased core stability owing to weakness of abdominal muscles but also as fitness program for improving core strength.

Fariñas, J, Mayo, X, Giraldez-García, MA, Carballeira, E, Fernandez-Del-Olmo, M, Rial-Vazquez, J, Kingsley, JD, and Iglesias-Soler, E. Set configuration in strength training programs modulates the cross education phenomenon. J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2414–2420, 2021—This study aimed to compare the strength gains in the nontrained arm after 2 independent unilateral training programs differing in the set configuration. Thirty-five subjects were randomly assigned to 3 groups: traditional training (TT; n = 12), cluster training (CT; n = 11), or control (CON; n = 12). The experimental groups performed a 5-week training program of a unilateral biceps curl exercise with the dominant limb using the 10 repetition maximum (10RM) load. Traditional training performed 5 sets of 6 repetitions and 135 seconds of rest between sets. Cluster training completed 30 repetitions with 18.5 seconds of rest between each repetition. Anthropometry (ANT), muscle thickness (MT), 1RM, the number of repetitions with 10RM (n10RM), and isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) were measured before and after the intervention. Regarding the nontrained arm, TT improved 1RM (7.3%, p < 0.001). No changes were observed in CT. Regarding the trained arm, TT improved 1RM (9.1%, p < 0.001), n10RM (p = 0.005), and MVC (p = 0.011), whereas CT only showed a trend for improvement of 1RM (3.4%, p = 0.052). These results suggest that when total volume and repetition-to-rest ratio are equated, a more fatiguing set configuration causes a higher effect on the non-trained limb.

Ouergui, I, Benyoussef, A, Houcine, N, Abedelmalek, S, Franchini, E, Gmada, N, Bouhlel, E, and Bouassida, A. Physiological responses and time-motion analysis of kickboxing: differences between full contact, light contact, and point fighting contests. J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2558–2563, 2021—This study investigated the physiological responses and time structure of kickboxing styles (full contact, light contact, and point fighting). Blood lactate [La] before and after combats, mean heart rate (HRmean), percentage of time spent in HR zones, and rating of perceived exertion were assessed. Time spent in high-intensity activities (HIAs), low-intensity activities (LIAs), and referee pauses (P) were recorded according to rounds (R) and kickboxing styles. [La] increased statistically significant after kickboxing combats (p < 0.001) and was higher after light contact compared with point fighting (p = 0.029). HRmean did not differ between kickboxing specialties (p = 0.200). However, more time was spent on HR zones 4 and 5 (Z4: 80–90% and Z5: 90–100% HRmax) than in other zones (all p < 0.001). Rating of perceived exertion scores were higher after light and full contact combats compared with point fighting (p = 0.007 and 0.093, respectively). High-intensity activities, LIAs, and pauses did not statistically differ across rounds (p > 0.05). Moreover, HIA values were lower than LIA (all p < 0.001), and HIA and LIA were higher than pause for all rounds and styles (all p < 0.001). Full contact elicited higher HIA compared with point fighting (p = 0.003, 0.001, and 0.002 for round 1, 2, and 3, respectively). Coaches and strength and conditioning professionals should emphasize anaerobic and muscle power development for all disciplines, especially for full and light contact and maximal aerobic power enhancement by targeting specific HR zones. Moreover, training regimen may include high-intensity interval training to mimic these sports' specificity using the effort-pause ratios according to different kickboxing sports.

Abstract

_____________________________________________________________

At present there are many teaching techniques derived from games which are then applied in the field of teaching, one of which is the Scrambel technique. Through this game the students compete to compile the vocabulary of the letters that have been randomized. This study uses a type of quasi-experimental research. The research design used in this study was "One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design", namely the design of the study that had a pretest before being treated and posttest after being treated. But after using the Scrambel technique in the experimental class, the post test results were different. Based on the results of t-paired calculations obtained data results from t arithmetic = 0.002. Whereas for sig. t paired for N = 13 and degrees of freedom (db) N-1 = 12 is 0.05. That means that the results of t count are smaller than sig. t paired. Based on the results of these data, it can be concluded that the Scrambel technique is proven to improve mastery of Japanese vocabulary in 5th semester students of BSI Akpar Bandung. From these results it can be seen that the Scrambel technique can improve mastery of Japanese vocabulary so that it can be used as an alternative to vocabulary learning.

Authors: Hash Robert
Published: May 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Credibility of an education program accreditor is dependent on consistency in decision-making among program reviews. The use of peer-review accreditation survey teams is a potential source of inconsistency in the review of individual programs, especially so when the agency employs non-prescriptive accreditation standards. The accrediting agency that is the subject of this study utilized multiple steps to ensure consistency in the recommendations from peer survey teams. Analysis of the agreement between survey team recommendations and final decisions by the decision-making body revealed a coefficient of agreement of 0.927, indicated a high degree of agreement. The results suggest the accrediting agency's processes are effective in ensuring that peer review survey teams are applying the accreditation standards consistently between peer teams and the accrediting agency.

The Dynamics of Mental States of People Under Investigation
Authors: Musiichuk Maria , Shuleva Elizaveta
Published: May 2019

The relevance of the results of this empirical research is based on a number of factors. Firstly, the knowledge of the causes and dynamics of different psychological states makes it possible to single out psychological patterns emerging in similar circumstances, accurately predict the behavior of the person under investigation, identify atypical situational or accidental conditions, and avoid mistakes in their description. Secondly, the study of mental states of a person deprived of liberty is valuable for the organization of the whole correctional process and the development of recommendations on preventing the destructive behavior of persons under investigation when it is caused by their mental state. The study touches upon little-studied issues of changes in the mental states of persons put in the temporary detention facilities. The analysis of the obtained data showed that longer periods spent in detention facilities lead to such negative changes in mental states of people under investigation as an increase of unmotivated anxiety, psycho-emotional tension, emotional lability, irritation, sadness, boredom, low spirits, poor well-being and activity, inmates develop sensory deprivation, frustration, hypoxia, and a deeper depression. At the same time, there is an increase in sociability, activity, and extraversion. Limitation of the freedom of actions and motor activity is compensated by a considerable increase in verbal activity, there is a greater desire for a trustful and open interaction with other people, a growth in self-criticism. To satisfy the need for communication and verbal activity, it is necessary to give people under investigation a chance to meet representatives of different religious denominations and the detention facility’s psychologist. After longer periods of detention persons under investigation begin to express characteristics typical of criminal behavior: boldness, inappropriate familiarity, tendency to take risks, resourcefulness, impatience, maximalism, love of freedom, courage and decisiveness. Time spent in a detention facility is most effective for optimizing the mental state of persons under investigation, developing constructive scenarios of serving a sentence and future successful re-socialization. When persons under investigation are transferred to penal colonies, their mental state is predicted to deteriorate.
The colourful chemistry of South African latrunculid sponges
Authors: Davies-Coleman Michael T. , Antunes Edith M. , Beukes Denzil R. , Samaai Toufiek
Published: May 2019

Marine sponges – in common with many other sessile marine invertebrates seemingly devoid of obvious physical forms of defence against predators, e.g. spines or shells – are the sources of a diverse array of organic chemical compounds known as marine natural products or secondary metabolites. Recent research has indicated that the production of natural products via cellular secondary metabolic pathways in some sponge species may not occur within the sponge cells themselves, but rather in microbial endosymbionts which inhabit the surface and interstitial spaces within the sponge tissue. Regardless of their biosynthetic origin, the bioactivity, e.g. toxicity, of many of these marine natural products may be utilised by sponges as chemical feeding deterrents to discourage predation or to provide a chemical anti-fouling competitive edge in the intense competition for living space amongst filter-feeders on space-limited benthic reefs. Paradoxically, a small number of sponge natural products have serendipitously shown potential as new pharmaceuticals, e.g. novel anti-cancer drugs. Marine biodiscovery (or bioprospecting) is the search for new pharmaceuticals from marine organisms. Exploration of the taxonomy, natural products chemistry and biomedicinal potential of the rich diversity of South African latrunculid sponges (family Latrunculiidae), at Rhodes University, the South African Department of Environmental Affairs and the University of the Western Cape has continued unabated for over a quarter of a century as part of a collaborative marine biodiscovery programme. A short review of this multidisciplinary latrunculid sponge research is presented here.
Anthropogenic disturbances of natural ecohydrological processes in the Matlabas mountain mire, South Africa

Published: May 2019

Matlabas is a mountain mire in Marakele National Park, located within the headwaters of the Limpopo River in South Africa. This mire consists of a complex of valley-bottom and seepage wetlands with small elevated peat domes. The occurrence of one decaying peat dome, which has burnt, and desiccated wetland areas with terrestrial vegetation has raised concerns. The aim of this study was to understand the mire features and water flows in order to identify the potential drivers causing wetland degradation. Wells and piezometers were installed to monitor the hydraulic head and collect water samples for analysis of ion composition, 18O and 2H stable isotope content, and δ13C and 14C isotope content for radiocarbon dating. Moreover, peat temperature profiles were measured and peat deposits were also dated using radiocarbon. Results indicate that the Matlabas mire developed in the lowest central-east side of the valley by paludification at the onset of the Holocene. During the Mid-Holocene, peat development was extended laterally by autogenic and allogenic processes. Three types of water flows driving peat development were identified – sheet flow, phreatic groundwater flow and deep groundwater flow – two of which are surface or near surface flows. The recent occurrence of decaying peat domes and desiccated wetland areas is possibly related to loss of exfiltrating deep groundwater flows that have resulted from drainage by the head-cut channels in the mire and interception of near surface water flow by an access road, respectively. Interventions should be undertaken to prevent further degradation of the mire.
Significance:

This study is the first, as far as we are aware, on the ecohydrology of an inland mountainous mire in southern Africa.
The results highlight the importance of the current wetland management (including rehabilitation) initiatives in South Africa.
The integrative ecohydrological methods can be applied in other headwater wetlands in southern Africa.
The ecosystem of e-learning model for higher education
Authors: Van de Heyde Valentino , Siebrits André
Published: May 2019

We present the ecosystem of e-learning (EeL) model, which can be applied to any higher education context, and which takes full account of all inhabitants and their interrelationships, not only the components, of the e-learning food chain. Specifically, this model was applied to our context within the University of the Western Cape, highlighting the role of the academic developer within the model. A key argument advanced in this paper is that academic developers should work to reduce complexities associated with emerging e-tools. The EeL model is used to emphasise the role of academic developers as mediators between components and relationships.
Significance:

By the application of the EeL model, it is demonstrated that the use of e-tools and their alignment with pedagogies within any context must be sensitive to the entire ecosystem, with the recognition that this is simultaneously a top-down and a bottom-up process.
The student must be the core focus in the adoption of emerging technologies and the learning process, but simultaneously the student can only be in focus when they are placed within their broader ecosystem – including the societal level.
Our findings add to the debate on physics education specifically, and more broadly by providing new ways of conceptualising an e-learning ecosystem.
It is advocated that an academic developer-mediator should step in to mediate between academics, tutors and emerging e-tools, through a structured developmental process for learning and teaching.
The EeL model can afford an insight into the processes involved when incorporating a learning management system (and emerging e-tools) into learning and teaching in higher education institutions.

Published: May 2019

INTRODUÇÃO: A prematuridade é reconhecida como fator de risco para distúrbios do desenvolvimento motor, uma vez que promove interrupção na progressão do desenvolvimento das estruturas cerebrais. OBJETIVO: Consiste em analisar o processo de estimulação precoce em crianças com defasagem no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de até 2 anos de idade corrigida, através do olhar multidisciplinar. METODOLOGIA: Uma revisão integrativa desenvolvida no período de março a maio de 2018, utilizando as bases de dados LILACS, PUBMED, SCIELO e PEDro. Critérios para inclusão: artigo disponível na íntegra, publicados entre 2009 a 2018, em idioma inglês, português ou espanhol, abordando intervenção precoce, deficiência do desenvolvimento, desenvolvimento infantil e destreza motora, como temática central. Artigos que não atendessem aos critérios pré-definidos e não fossem artigos originais foram excluídos. RESULTADOS: Encontrados 45 artigos com descritores e recorte temporal, selecionados 28 para leitura completa, destes 12 foram eliminados, por não atender aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, tendo para elegibilidade do estudo 16 artigos. Dentre alguns estudos observou-se que o acolhimento e o cuidado a essas crianças e a suas famílias, além da estimulação são essenciais para maior ganho funcional possível nos primeiros anos de vida. CONCLUSÃO: No âmbito da prematuridade à interdisciplinaridade, considerando que o atraso nessas crianças, são decorrentes não só da falta de estímulos adequados, mas pelo não desenvolvimento de estruturas neurológicas, a estimulação precoce oferece novas experiências, promovendo melhoras significativas e garantindo-lhes uma melhor qualidade de vida.

INTRODUCTION: The use of a cycle ergometer for the upper limbs may contribute to maintain the functional capacity in patients after heart surgery (HS). OBJECTIVES: To investigate the cardiorespiratory responses of HS patients receiving or not vasoactive drugs (VADs) during the realizations of cycle ergometer for upper limbs, verifying the incidence of loss of radial arterial catheter or of steel wire fractures in the sternum. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A pilot study  involving 26 patients divided in 2 groups. Group CO: no use of VADs (13 patients, age: 57±12 years, 09 male) and VAD group: (13 patients, age: 61±10 years, 07 male), submitted to HS, which on the first postoperative day (1stPO) performed the cycle ergometer for upper limbs. The parameters evaluated during the exercise were heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), dyspnea, fatigue of upper limbs and mean arterial pressure (MAP). The incidence of losses of the radial artery catheter and of steel wire fractures in the sternum was calculated. Statistical analysis adopted one-way or two-way analysis of variance, with post hoc from Newman Kauls or Scheffé, when necessary. The significance level was 0.05%. RESULTS: HR increased in both groups at the end of the exercise (p=0.00), with no difference between them (p=0.97); SpO2, dyspnea and MAP did not change from rest to the end of exercise (p=0.49; p=0.78 and p=0.25, respectively); The fatigue in the upper limbs increased in both groups (p=0.04), without difference between groups (p=0.79); There was no event of loss of radial artery catheter or steel wire fractures in the sternum. CONCLUSION: The adoption of the cycle ergometer for upper limbs was safe in the 1stPO of HS, even in the individuals using VADs. There was no relationship between the use of the upper limbs cycle ergometer and losses of arterial catheters or steel wire fractures in the sternum.

INTRODUCTION: Humanization stands out as an important ally in the healthcare process. Thus, seeking its effectiveness, it is fundamental that its proposals are inserted since the graduation process of the physiotherapist. OBJECTIVE: to know the perception of incoming and finishing students of the physiotherapy course on humanization in the training of the physiotherapist and to identify their insertion during the course of physical therapy. METHODOLOGICAL STRATEGY: a descriptive, comparative and qualitative approach. Fourteen physiotherapy students participated in the study, of which ten (9th semester) and four undergraduate students (1 st semester) completed a semi-structured interview that addressed issues related to humanization and its importance. The data were analysed from the perspective of Bardin, and all the interviewees signed the Free and Informed Consent Form before conducting the interview, with the approval of the Ethics Committee, CAAE: 73475617.1.0000.5628. RESULTS: after transcription of the interviews and rigorous discourse analysis, all collected material was categorized as: 1. "The different definitions of humanization"; 2. "Entrance door to learn about the theme of humanization", with subcategory "Living humanization in academic formation" and 3. "The importance of humanizing assistance". FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the final students of the physiotherapy course, although they present difficulties of theoretical and practical deepening, demonstrated a better understanding about the humanization theme, when compared to the incoming students, since they have little familiarity with the subject.

INTRODUÇÃO: O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é uma política pública construída em um contexto de dimensões políticas, tecnológicas e sociais. Embora muito se tenha avançado no SUS, a ampliação do acesso à fisioterapia na atenção primária ainda é um dos seus grandes desafios. A distribuição espacial dos usuários pode fornecer importantes informações sobre políticas públicas voltadas para atenção primária á saúde. OBJETIVO: Analisar a distribuição espacial de usuários do SUS em busca de tratamento no Serviço Escola de Fisioterapia da Universidade Federal do Piauí (SEF-UFPI). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva documental, quantitativa e retrospectiva. Pacientes com queixas musculoesqueléticas que buscaram tratamento fisioterapêutico no SEF-UFPI nos anos de 2010 a 2017 foram mapeados por meio de georreferenciamento espacial. RESULTADOS: 1476 prontuários foram identificados em 32 bairros distintos. 63% dos pacientes atendidos foram provenientes dos sete bairros mais próximos do SEF-UFPI. A maioria (n=924) dos pacientes era do sexo feminino, com queixas de dores crônicas nos membros inferiores. A cidade de Parnaíba-PI possui aproximadamente 155.000 habitantes e apenas quatro fisioterapeutas cadastrados como membros do NASF. CONCLUSÃO: O elevado fluxo de pacientes que buscaram atendimento fisioterapêutico é proveniente de áreas cobertas pela estratégia de saúde da família. A ausência de fisioterapeutas nestas equipes indica a necessidade urgente de reformulação das políticas públicas de acesso à reabilitação física na atenção primária.

Kontrolör tasarım problemi doğrusal matris
eşitsizliklerinin yardımı ile dış bükey optimizasyon problemi olarak ifade
edilmiştir. Kontrolör performansının sürüş konforu, güvenliği ve güç tüketimi
açısından incelenebilmesi için süspansiyon, koltuk ve sürücü dinamiklerini
içeren beş serbestlik dereceli bir model kullanılmıştır. Önerilen kontrolörün
performansı, klasik durum geri beslemeli LQR kontrolör ile karşılaştırılarak,
ISO2631 standardı sayesinde farklı yol pürüzlülüğü dereceleri ve sürüş hızları
için sınanmıştır.Bu
çalışmada, bir taşıt süspansiyon sisteminin aktif titreşim kontrolü için durum
türevi geri beslemeli LQR kontrolör tasarımı önerilmiştir. Aktif titreşim
kontrolü problemleri özelinde ivme-ölçerler yaygın olarak kullanıldıkları için
durum değişkenlerinin türevleri olan hız ve ivme sinyalleri, durum değişkenleri
olan hız ve konum sinyallerine kıyasla daha kolay elde edilebilmektedir. Bu
yüzden literatürde sıklıkla karşılaşılan durum geri beslemeli aktif süspansiyon
tasarımları yerine durum türevi geri beslemeli kontrol yapısı ele alınmıştır.
