Nanofluids are colloidal suspension engineered by dispersing nanometersized metallic or non-metallic particles (nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, nanosheets or droplets) in a base fluid. The nanofluid enhances properties of the base fluid. Nanofluids have extraordinary properties that make them potentially useful in many applications. Even though the nanofluid has lots of advantages, its applications are limited due to poor stability over long-term, high-pressure drop, particle collection, low specific heat, high cost. In this review, an attempt has been made to explain the method of preparation, stability, properties, and applications of nanofluids.

Published: September 2023

Recently, it has been shown that the extramuscular connective tissue (ECT) is likely involved in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of maximal trunk extension eccentric exercise (EE) on ECT thickness, self-reported DOMS, ECT stiffness, skin temperature, and possible correlations between these outcomes. Healthy adults (n = 16, 29.34 ± 9.87 years) performed fatiguing EE of the trunk. A group of highly active individuals (TR, n = 8, > 14 h of sport per week) was compared with a group of less active individuals (UTR, n = 8, < 2 h of sport per week). Ultrasound measurements of ECT thickness, stiffness with MyotonPro and IndentoPro, skin temperature with infrared thermography, and pain on palpation (100 mm visual analog scale, VAS) as a surrogate for DOMS were recorded before (t0), immediately (t1), 24 h (t24), and 48 h (t48) after EE. ECT thickness increased after EE from t0 to t24 (5.96 mm to 7.10 mm, p = 0.007) and from t0 to t48 (5.96 mm to 7.21 mm, p < 0.001). VAS also increased from t0 to t24 (15.6 mm to 23.8 mm, p < 0.001) and from t0 to t48 (15.6 mm to 22.8 mm, p < 0.001). Skin temperature increased from t1 to t24 (31.6° Celsius to 32.7° Celsius, p = 0.032) and t1 to t48 (31.6° Celsius to 32.9° Celsius, p = 0.003), while stiffness remained unchanged (p > 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed no linear relationship between the outcomes within the 48-hour measurement period. The results may confirm previous findings of possible ECT involvement in the genesis of DOMS in the extremities also for the paraspinal ECT of trunk extensors. Subsequent work should focus on possible interventions targeting the ECT to prevent or reduce DOMS after strenuous muscle EE.

The search for monitoring tools that provide early indication of injury and illness could contribute to better player protection. The aim of the present study was to i) determine the feasibility of and adherence to our monitoring approach, and ii) identify variables associated with up-coming illness and injury. We incorporated a comprehensive set of monitoring tools consisting of external load and physical fitness data, questionnaires, blood, neuromuscular-, hamstring, hip abductor and hip adductor performance tests performed over a three-month period in elite under-18 academy soccer players. Twenty-five players (age: 16.6 ± 0.9 years, height: 178 ± 7 cm, weight: 74 ± 7 kg, VO2max: 59 ± 4 ml/min/kg) took part in the study. In addition to evaluating adherence to the monitoring approach, data were analyzed using a linear support vector machine (SVM) to predict illness and injuries. The approach was feasible, with no injuries or dropouts due to the monitoring process. Questionnaire adherence was high at the beginning and decreased steadily towards the end of the study. An SVM resulted in the best classification results for three classification tasks, i.e., illness prediction, illness determination and injury prediction. For injury prediction, one of four injuries present in the test data set was detected, with 96.3% of all data points (i.e., injuries and non-injuries) correctly detected. For both illness prediction and determination, there was only one illness in the test data set that was detected by the linear SVM. However, the model showed low precision for injury and illness prediction with a considerable number of false-positives. The results demonstrate the feasibility of a holistic monitoring approach with the possibility of predicting illness and injury. Additional data points are needed to improve the prediction models. In practical application, this may lead to overcautious recommendations on when players should be protected from injury and illness.
The Acute Effects of Theragun™ Percussive Therapy on Viscoelastic Tissue Dynamics and Hamstring Group Range of Motion
Authors: Skinner Brendon , Dunn Lauren , Moss Richard
Published: September 2023

Handheld percussive therapy (PT) massage guns have seen a rapid rise in use and with-it increased attention within injury prevention and sport performance settings. Early studies have proposed beneficial effects upon range of motion (ROM), however the mechanism behind these increases remains unreported. This study aimed to determine the influence of a minimal frequency PT dose upon ROM and myotonometry outcomes. Twenty participants (N = 20; 13 males and 7 females, height 1.78cm ± 9.62; weight 77.35kg ± 8.46) participants were allocated to either a PT group receiving 2 x 60-seconds (plus 30-seconds rest) via a Theragun™ Pro4 to the hamstrings covering a standardised 20 lengths from proximal to distal via the standard ball attachment at 1 bar of pressure or a control group (CON) of 2-minutes 30-seconds passive supine rest. Pre and post intervention outcomes were measured for ROM via passive straight leg raise (PSLR) and tissue dynamics via MyotonPro (Tone, Stiffness, Elasticity, Relaxation Time). Results showed significant within-group increases (p < 0.0001, ηp2 0.656, +11.4%) in ROM following PT and between group difference against CON (P < 0.026). Significant within-group differences in stiffness (p < 0.016, ηp2 0.144, -6%), tone (p < 0.003, ηp2 0.213, +2%) and relaxation time (p < 0.002, ηp2 0.232, +6.3%) were also reported following PT. No significant difference was reported in elasticity (P > 0.05) or any other between group outcomes. PT therapy can provide an acute increase in hamstring group ROM following a resultant decrease in tissue stiffness.
La personalización política como estrategia digital: análisis de los marcos visuales que definen el liderazgo político de Isabel Díaz Ayuso en Instagram
Authors: Zamora Medina Rocío , Egea-Barquero Marina
Published: September 2023

La presente investigación analiza el uso de la personalización como estrategia digital en la red social Instagram para la creación de liderazgo político de la presidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. La investigación, sustentada en la teoría de los marcos visuales (visual framing), incluye un análisis cuantitativo de 662 posts publicados en dos etapas distintas de su carrera política: antes y después de convertirse en presidenta. Los resultados demuestran que, si bien Ayuso ofreció estratégicamente en su perfil fotografías que favorecieron su visibilidad y cercanía como líder política, esta hizo un uso parcial de la personalización debido a su apuesta por un rol más profesional que personal o privado, así como un enmarcado más vinculado con la imagen de candidata ideal mujer de Estado que con el liderazgo populista. Se detectaron diferencias significativas según el momento en el que era solo candidata a la presidencia respecto de cuando ya asumió el cargo.

The article presents the results of the study on non-specific resistance in sows at different periods of the repro-ductive cycle in the conditions of an industrial pig-breeding complex. It has been established that in the animals that fell ill after farrowing, before insemination and during gestation, the level of humoral and cellular defense is lower than that in clinically healthy sows, indicating a risk of inflammatory processes developing in the reproductive system, which manifest themselves clinically as endometritis and MMA after farrowing. During lactation, sows that had postpartum diseases also had lower nonspecific resistance indicators than clinically healthy animals.

Diet diversity and weight monitoring are crucial aides in the col- lective effort to improve maternal nutrition. However, as this report showcases, maternal nutrition issues in India go beyond diets and weight – if we are to make serious gains in achieving our goals, we need to approach the issue in a more holistic manner, from preven- tion to cure. The large number of topics covered in this publication, from benefit schemes to disease control, from leveraging digital channels to personal outreach, adequately shows the effort that has been made by various stakeholders so far to advance the agenda – as well as the gaps that remain.
Cardiac Stem Cell–Derived Treatment for Ischemic Heart Disease: A Review
Authors: Aribindi Seetha , Jiang Jessica , Shaikh Umayr , Hidad Adam
Published: September 2023

Current first-line pharmacologic therapies for ischemic heart disease (ISD) have proven largely ineffective, leading to the exploration of alternative treatments. Various stem cell–like/progenitor cell lineages have been studied, especially c-kit+ cardiac stem cells (CSCs) due to their true stem cell origin and differentiation capabilities. These CSCs reside in the heart after birth and possess regenerative potential, providing a means of maintaining and repairing myocardial tissue. Previous studies have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of CSCs for patients with ISD. However, counterarguments have focused on the inflammatory state present in diseased hearts, which may limit the benefits of c-kit+ CSCs. Nonetheless, we argue that a thorough examination of the literature supports the potential of c-kit+ CSCs as a safe and effective therapeutic approach for restoring lost cardiac tissue and function in patients with ISD. Though promising, we believe further scientific inquiry is necessary to discern the exact mechanisms by which c-kit+ CSCs function, which could pay dividends in the approach to treating ISD.

The concept of interculturalism considers sociocultural integration as a dynamic process of forming a cultural space of civil consolidation based on dialogue and complementary intercultural interaction. No culture embodies everything valuable in human life and does not develop the full range of human capabilities. Different cultures correct and complement each other, broaden each other's horizons, and intercultural interaction stimulates and generates new forms of national unity, social solidarity and personal self-realization.
RIGHTS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN KAZAKHSTAN: OFFICIAL, EXPERT AND AVERAGE CITIZENS’ DISCOURSES
Authors:   Management University, Smirnova V. , Karataeva L. ,   Management University, Hubert A. ,   Management University
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we consider the manifestation of a human rights based approach to health in the official, everyday and expert discourses of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors analyzed the perceptions of the right to health in general and the right to health care services both in scholarly research and international intergovernmental documents. The study also involved data from official websites, media materials, interviews with experts, and the results of monitoring social media. All three discourses contain problems with access to medical care in the regions and rural areas, as well as obstacles to access to medications. Official discourse is more sensitive to the problem of the lack of medical professionals than to the problem of their qualification. The following conclusions of the human rights-based approach to health are implemented to a greater or lesser extent in the Republic of Kazakhstan: principles of accountability, non-discrimination, accessibility, acceptability and quality.

Территория Кызылординской области является эндемичной по многим инфекционным и инвазионным болезням человека и животных, большинство которых передается через укусы членистоногих. Наибольшим многообразием из которых отличаются иксодовые клещи, которые способны длительное время сохранять и передавать возбудителя трансовариально и трансфазово, т.е. через яйцо и фазы метаморфоза. До настоящего времени одним из слабо изученных родов клещей оставался Haemaphysalis. Обитая в природных очагах особо опасных инфекций, клещи этого рода могут вовлекаться в эпизоотический процесс в качестве переносчиков и резервуаров возбудителей этих болезней. На территории Кызылординской области с 2012 по 2022 гг. проводятся плановые исследования диких и домашних животных, а также окрестности населенных пунктов на наличие этих эктопаразитов. Из клещей рода Haemaphysalis изучено 2 вида: H. erinacei – паразитирующие в основном на диких и H. punctata, паразитирующие на домашних животных. Приведены основные отличительные морфологические признаки и биологические особенности клещей этого рода, эпидемиологическое и эпизоотическое значение. Отмечено, что H. erinacei широко распространен в Кызылординской области и в весенний период поражает больше видов диких животных, несколько меньше осенью, то есть пик активности клещей приходится на апрель-июнь и сентябрь-октябрь. Клещи собраны, в основном, на грызунах и мелких млекопитающих, ведущих норовый образ жизни. Численность клещей этого вида высокая и встречаемость может достигать 100%, а обилие – 98 экз. Ареал пастбищного клеща H. punctata, обнаруженного, в основном на домашнем скоте, достаточно узкий и охватывает только пойменную часть долины р. Сырдария. Активность имаго отмечена в марте-мае, нимфы в единичных экземплярах встречались в июне-сентябре.
La transformación poética de la violencia estatal. En torno a Cien años de soledad y Actos humanos
Authors: Cho Guho
Published: September 2023

La literatura nos acrecienta la capacidad de comprender y empatizar con la vida de los demás y sus problemas. Cien años de soledad y Actos humanos hacen que se tenga presente tanto la historia pasada como las sensaciones, al encarnar estéticamente las dolorosas experiencias en Colombia y Corea, respectivamente, la masacre de los trabajadores en las plantaciones de banano en 1928 y la de la ciudad de Gwangju en 1980. Aunque estas novelas difieren en lugar, tiempo y causa del hecho trágico, mantienen como comunes denominadores que fueron escritas décadas después de la tragedia y que reflexionan sobre la verdadera manera de transformar poéticamente la desgracia provocada por la violencia estatal. La historia de un evento específico puede ser restaurada de manera apropiada, no solo a través de la historia oficial, sino de la informal, que permanece en la memoria y en la interpretación de los testigos y los escritores, la cual finalmente desencadena el proceso de transformación literaria. En virtud de ello, este artículo amplía el horizonte de reconocimiento de dos hechos trágicos abordando los problemas de la violencia histórica y política y la técnica narrativa en torno al testimonio plasmado en Cien años de soledad y Actos humanos.

Authors: Yao Jianguang , Chen Lingfei
Published: September 2023

At the end of the 11th century, the “Astronomical Clock Tower” developed by Su Song’s team involved many scientific knowledge, advanced and complex technologies, and created many world firsts. It played an important role in the history of science and technology in China and even the world. It was the best test sample for exploring the teaching method of the history of science and technology content in the teaching reform of the undergraduate history (normal) major “Ancient Chinese History” course under the guidance of the new liberal arts and science concept. The experimental plan focuses on the common characteristics of this type of content, closely adheres to teaching objectives, fits the actual learning situation, and is based on general teaching conditions. Within the limit of class hours, it introduces the background, structure, and function, explains the principle and process of key components, analyzes ideas and methods, highlights the key points and difficulties, and strives to be interesting, easy to understand, and memorable, so that students can feel the outstanding wisdom and innovation of the sages, clarify its position and influence in the history of science and technology in China and the world, and accumulate knowledge and methods for future teaching of this type of historical content.
不同網球場地表面對垂直跳運動表現之影響
Authors: 林子鈞 林子鈞 , 楊昕 楊昕 , 張吉堯 張吉堯 , 湯文慈 湯文慈
Published: September 2023

目的：探討不同網球場地表面 (硬地、地墊、草地、紅土) 對垂直跳運動表現之影響。方法：招募 21 位男性 (平均身高 177.6 ± 5.5 公分、平均體重 77.3 ± 12.5 公斤、平均年齡 23.8 ± 3.4 歲) 在四種不同場地表面進行反向跳及蹲踞跳測試，用測力板蒐集爆發力、衝量、跳躍高度、負荷率及最大衝擊力之數值資料，取樣頻率為 1000 Hz。使用單因子重複量數變異數分析比較四種不同場地表面對運動表現之影響，顯著水準訂為 α = .05。結果：本研究結果發現衝量和跳躍高度在反向跳有顯著差異，硬地 (p = .040, p = .028) 及地墊 (p = .050, p = .025) 皆大於紅土。蹲踞跳的跳躍高度則是硬地大於草地 (p = .014)。結論：場地不同帶來的負荷變化並非導致運動傷害發生的直接因素，因此在建議打網球的人在選擇場地時可以個人打法為依據進行挑選。另外，不同場地會有不同的力學效應。在大滿貫系列賽當中，澳洲網球公開賽 (硬地) 轉換至法國網球公開賽 (紅土)、溫布頓網球錦標賽 (草地) 轉換至美國網球公開賽 (硬地) 時，需要特別去適應場地才能有效的提升運動表現。

Purpose: To investigate the effect of different tennis court surfaces (hard surface, mat, grass, red clay) on the performance of vertical jump. Methods: Twenty-one males have been recruited for this study (height: 177.6 ± 5.5cm, weight: 77.3 ± 12.5kg, age: 23.8 ± 3.4year-old). The participants were instructed to perform jumping tests (counter movement jump and vertical jump) on four ground surfaces. A force plate (1000Hz) has been used to obtain power, impact force, jump height, loading rate and peak impact force. A one-way repeated measures ANOVA was carried out to compare the difference between ground surfaces and the kinetic parameters with a significant level of α=.05. Results: The results revealed significant differences in impulse and jump height in the counter movement jump, with both hard (p = .040, p = .028) and carpet (p = .050, p = .025) being larger than clay. The jump height of the squat jump was greater on hard than on grass (p = .014). Conclusion: The change in lower extremely’s load brought about by different courts is not a direct factor in the occurrence of sports injuries. Therefore, this study recommended that tennis players choose a court based on their individual playing style. In addition, different courts will have different mechanical effects. In the Grand Slam series, the transition from the Australian Open (hard court) to the French Open (red clay) and the Wimbledon Open (grass) to the U.S. Open (hard court) requires special adaptation in order to effectively improve performance.

 
The Modern Transformation of Fatherhood in Cormac McCarthy’sNo Country for Old MenandThe Road
Authors: Allred Christian Anderson
Published: September 2023

McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men and The Road depict intimate father-child relationships that are best explained by what sociologist Anthony Giddens calls “the transformation of intimacy in the twentieth century.” Whereas father-child relations are fixed within a rigid social structure in premodernity, in modernity they become a voluntary site for commitment that requires the deliberate cultivation of trust. In McCarthy’s two novels, this cultivating of trust takes the form of shared routines, dialogue, and watchwords. The intimacy and connection that these create give McCarthy’s fathers a needed sense of security in an otherwise disorienting and disillusioning modern world. The displacement of traditional familial networks by abstract systems then ultimately leads back to one of the most basic forms of social network: the parent-child relationship.
Maps and Legends: Patterns of Go Down, Moses in The Road
Authors: Yarbrough Scott
Published: September 2023

One of the central questions tasking any reader of Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road is just what, in the final analysis, is supposed to be our estimation of the father? Is he mostly a moral character, utterly committed to his boy and to providing a foundation for goodness? Is he a competent character, and what we are to make of his travels with his son and their ethical clashes? Is the father right in his pragmatism or is the son right in idealism? Has the father learned the rules of the fallen world sufficiently? Or does he still cling to the past? These questions and others are answered through a thorough examination of the many parallel elements in one of William Faulkner’s greatest accomplishments, his novella “The Bear” and the collection it was published within, Go Down, Moses (1942).

La experimentación con animales es un tema controversial debido a la cantidad de factores que inciden en su práctica y los diferentes enfoques que se consideran desde el punto de vista bioético. En este estudió se analizará el estado actual sobre las prácticas y principios bioéticos de los expertos en experimentación con Animales de Vida Silvestre (AVS) en las universidades del Ecuador. A través de una encuesta se evaluó a investigadores de diferente nivel académico de universidades ecuatorianas que realizan investigaciones con AVS. Se evidenció que el 75%, 59% y 43% de investigadores usan protocolos de captura, transporte y protocolos de eutanasia para AVS respectivamente. El principio bioético más conocido son las Tres R, los investigadores reconocieron dos de las cinco libertades del bienestar animal, mientras que el principio de Krogh es el menos conocido. Finalmente, todos los investigadores consideran la necesidad de crear un Comité Nacional de Bioética para experimentación con AVS en Ecuador. Se evidenció que el conocimiento de principios y prácticas bioéticas no están ligados a un nivel académico específico. El desconocimiento y falta de normativa nacional incide en el escaso conocimiento y aplicación sobre principios y prácticas bioéticas de los investigadores de AVS de las universidades ecuatorianas.
Studying Individual Differences in Language Comprehension: The Challenges of Item-Level Variability and Well-Matched Control Conditions
Authors: Blott Lena M. , Gowenlock Anna Elizabeth , Kievit Rogier , Nation Kate , Rodd Jennifer M.
Published: September 2023

Translating experimental tasks that were designed to investigate differences between conditions at the group-level into valid and reliable instruments to measure individual differences in cognitive skills is challenging (Hedge et al., 2018; Rouder et al., 2019; Rouder & Haaf, 2019). For psycholinguists, the additional complexities associated with selecting or constructing language stimuli, and the need for appropriate well-matched baseline conditions make this endeavour particularly complex. In a typical experiment, a process-of-interest (e.g. ambiguity resolution) is targeted by contrasting performance in an experimental condition with performance in a well-matched control condition. In many cases, careful between-condition matching precludes the same participant from encountering all stimulus items. Unfortunately, solutions that work for group-level research (e.g. constructing counterbalanced experiment versions) are inappropriate for individual-differences designs. As a case study, we report an ambiguity resolution experiment that illustrates the steps that researchers can take to address this issue and assess whether their measurement instrument is both valid and reliable. On the basis of our findings, we caution against the widespread approach of using datasets from group-level studies to also answer important questions about individual differences.

Published: September 2023

One of the primary goals of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is to ensure that all students develop the skills necessary to respond to rapidly changing labor market requirements and conditions. Universities must consider how they train their students to be employable graduates. This study determined how Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science (BSMT/BSMLS) and BS Physical Therapy (BSPT) programs prepared the graduates for employment in the Philippines. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design to establish a relationship between the graduates’ level of satisfaction with their education and the level of adequacy of the BSMLS and BSPT programs. An alumni survey was distributed to all Academic Year 2014-2018 program graduates via e-mail and Messenger. The survey revealed that the preparation for the board examination is the most common influencing factor in the transition from graduation to employment. The vast majority of graduates were employed locally and in positions that were relevant to their programs. The survey also revealed that the University adequately prepared graduates for jobs related to their degrees, and that graduates are satisfied with their education due to high-quality instruction and well-established student internship programs. Pearson correlation revealed that there is a moderate and positive relationship between the level of adequacy of the programs and the level of satisfaction. The study concludes that that graduates’ high employability both locally and globally is a result of the adequate academic preparation they received at the University.

Published: September 2023

The advent of the “new normal” undeniably introduced challenges that permeate educational environments where uncertainty has become prevalent leading schools to make significant adjustments to their plans. School leaders must now contemplate various scenarios to find solutions, as these undoubtedly aid in the continuity of effective learning delivery and assist educators in navigating through challenging period. Hence, this study explores the school head’s managerial roles as correlates of organizational performance of public elementary schools employing descriptive-correlational design. The study utilized survey questionnaires to examine their proficiency with interpersonal, decisional, and informational roles. The findings suggest a clear and positively significant relationship between school heads’ managerial roles and school performance. The school heads fulfillment of managerial duties has a notable impact on the overall performance and outcomes of the school. Likewise, the same result was obtained regarding the correlation between school heads’ managerial roles and teachers’ performance. This paper argues that effective school heads play a crucial role in supporting and developing their teachers and the entire school community.

Esse processo permitiu realizar um levantamento das principais parasitoses intestinais que acometem a avifauna no PZ/UFAC-Acre. Através do conhecimento dessas doenças foi possível salvaguardar a saúde dos animais. O exame parasitológico, das espécies encontradas, permitiu: realizar um levantamento epidemiológico e sanitário dos endoparasitas de aves; observar as enfermidades apresentadas sob o ponto de vista clínico e laboratorial; identificar possíveis zoonoses e reaproveitar o material coletado para fins de estudos e montagem de uma coleção didático-científica, das principais helmintoses de aves silvestres no Estado. Das aves coletadas há predominância da espécie Turdus ignobilis, com seis espécimes. Dos endoparasitos identificados destacaram-se os Coccídeos e a Entamoeba sp., sendo suas incidências de 41 % e 20%, respectivamente. Ambos de importância zoonótica muito grande, pois podem contaminar as pessoas que entram em contato com essas aves, produzindo um quadro de diarreia e perda de peso.
Research on Physical and Mental State and Influence of the Elderly in Disaster Areas under the Background of Reverse Hollowing
Authors: Wang Menglong , He Shenghai
Published: September 2023

Major natural disasters exert far-reaching and enduring negative impacts on affected regions, particularly on vulnerable demographics such as the rural elderly, who often have limited external resilience. This paper uses Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province as a case study. Following severe natural disasters, Wenchuan County has begun to exhibit a unique phenomenon of reverse hollowing, distinct from other common regions. In this context, the physical and mental health of the elderly is uniquely affected, with each aspect influencing the other. The physical condition of the elderly in disaster-stricken areas displays a bifurcation trend, showing a stark contrast between pre- and post-disaster states. Despite economic hardship, frequent geological disasters, and strained relationships between local cadres and groups, life satisfaction among the elderly is generally high. However, their psychological state reveals marked regional differences and an unbalanced distribution. Most elderly individuals in the affected areas are empty-nesters, typically experiencing a strong sense of loneliness. Based on these observations, the paper offers several suggestions for addressing these issues.
