One of the main objectives of sports biomechanics is the improvement of sports performance. The Drop Jump (DJ) is a vertical jump that seeks to evaluate reactive strength capacity, which can also be expressed as the ability to perform the muscle Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC) quickly [1]. Thus, the interest in studying the EMG signals of some of the main muscles of the lower extremity was born. Different methods of surface Electromyography (sEMG) signal processing have been studied, some of them are focused on amplitude analysis. Nevertheless, this kind of methodology does not provide information about the frequency content of the signal. Therefore, analysis methods focused on spectral analysis has been introduced, for instance the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) [4]. Considering the foregoing, the aim in the present pilot study is the application of CWT as a methodology for sEMG signals processing of high-performance athletes during the contact phase of DJ maneuver. First and foremost, the instants that define the contact phase were identified. Then, the processing of sEMG signals was carried out using the CWT with the Morlet wavelet as mother wavelet. Finally, the scalograms were segmented using Otsu’s method and followed of a post-processing stage to obtain information of the frequency content of the signals. From this methodology, information is obtained on the kinematic behavior of the Center of Mass (CoM) and the knee joint during the contact phase, as well as the muscular behavior in the time and frequency domains. In summary, it is possible to appreciate the benefits of the CWT as a processing methodology for sEMG signals. Also, this methodology has allowed a better understanding of the muscle activity and the kinematic variables during the contact phase of the Drop Jump maneuver. Nevertheless, observing the total contact phase makes it difficult to appreciate details in the muscle activity during the eccentric phase.

Obstetrical Violence (OV) refers to all the disrespectful treatments and mistreatments inflicted on women during pregnancy and childbirth by health professionals. It can be physical, psychological or discriminatory, related to a lack of consent or respect, an abandonment of care or detention in the health structure in case of unpaid fees [1]. In Togo, OV is multifactorial and contributes to maintaining high maternal mortality by reducing attendance at health facilities [2]. We set up a training program for OV using a participatory technique called forum theater [3], with the nursing staff of maternity hospitals in the Maritime and Plateaux regions. Our study evaluated the potential of forum theater to raise awareness of OV among health care personnel and promote sustainable behavior change. We conducted 15 workshops with 391 professionals (55% of midwives and 25% of birth attendants). Participants completed a questionnaire before and after the intervention, assessing theoretical knowledge about OV and the frequency of violence that could be seen in the services. Participants reported a 33% increase of OV observed in their daily lives (p<0.05), including twice as physical violence and discrimination. This before-and-after difference was even more pronounced for the midwives, with an 80% increase (p<0.05). All concluded that they would change their behavior towards patients. Forum theater thus shows promise for improving providers’ ability to recognize and respond to VO. It is an effective tool to improve the attendance figures at health facilities and reduce maternal mortality in Togo.

Objectives: In recent years, investigating the possibility of health risks due to exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) values has become an important research priorities. The main study goal was to evaluate the temporal and spatial exposure levels of power density (S) from BTS antennas in Sabzevar city. In addition, this study investigated the difference in power density between the suburbs and downtown, as well as between different microenvironments. Methods: The power density values were measured at three distances from the BTS antennas and at three different time intervals. S values were measured using a TES 593 electrosmog meter. The General linear model repeated measurement tests and Mann-Whitney U test were used to measure the objectives. The Inverse Distance Weighted method was used to draw the spatial distribution map. Results: Significant differences between the values of S Avg and S max Avg were detected based on distance from the BTS antennas, time measured, and type of location. For hospital, residential, residential-educational, residential-park, and residential-shopping, the average values of S Avg were 0.37, 1.15, 1.80, 1.89, and 1.94 W/m2 , respectively, and the average values of S max Avg were 0.43, 2.64, 2.54, 2.59, and 2.64 W/ m2 , respectively. There was a significant difference between S Avg and S max Avg values by microenvironment. Conclusions: Comparison of the all of the measured values of S in this study with the limits set by multiple organizations indicated that the residents of Sabzevar city are not exposed to levels considered to pose a risk.

Allergic conjunctivitis 181 (40.4%), refractive error 42 (9.4%) and infective conjunctivitis 39 (8.7%) were the most common ocular disorders seen. The prevalence of visual impairment was 34.4%. Trauma was the most common cause of uniocular visual impairment. The proportion of blind eyes was 3.1% (n=12). Conclusions: Majority of the ocular disorders seen among the children were treatable causes of visual impairment. Public health education is necessary to create awareness on the causes of blindness. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the ocular disorders with respect to age and gender of the children.
PhD Celebration: A Sociolinguistic study of Language Documentation of the Denggan Language (Banam Bay Malekula, Vanuatu)
Authors: Hoback Brittany Rae
Published: May 2024

In the country of Vanuatu, there are estimated to be as many as 138 different languages. Of those, there are still many languages which remain undocumented. Yet, with the move to integrate the vernacular local languages into the education system, speakers of these languages are developing orthography systems as a way of maintaining the vitality of their language in oral and written forms. My thesis is a result of a community orthography and language documentation project in Southeast Malekula, Vanuatu. It focuses on the language, Denggan, formerly known as Banam Bay Language or Burmbar (ISO code vrt-639-3) spoken by around 900-1000 speakers.

This seminar unpacks the language project that was at the centre of this thesis work, as well as the different directions my thesis took along the way. This includes examining what collaboration means when working within a community project in Vanuatu. I will present on my exploration of relevant Indigenous Pacific epistemologies and how the navigation between these epistemologies and Western academic traditions impacted my research journey. I will give an overview of the language documentation findings and the contributions of the first Denggan grammar sketch. I will also report on reflections around community collaborations and how I navigated the responsibilities between my commitments to the community and finishing my degree.
Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in the UK: carbon storage potential and growth rates
Authors: Disney Mathias
Published: May 2024

Giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) are some of the UK’s largest trees, despite only being introduced in the mid-nineteenth century. There are an estimated half a million giant sequoias and closely related coastal redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) in the UK. Given the recent interest in planting more trees, partly due to their carbon sequestration potential and also their undoubted public appeal, an understanding of their growth capability is important. However, little is known about their growth and carbon uptake under UK conditions. Here, we focus on S. giganteum and use three-dimensional terrestrial laser scanning to perform detailed structural measurements of 97 individuals at three sites covering a range of different conditions, to estimate aboveground biomass (AGB) and annual biomass accumulation rates. We show that UK-grown S. giganteum can sequester carbon at a rate of 85 kg yr−1, varying with climate, management and age. We develop new UK-specific allometric models for S. giganteum that fit the observed AGB with r 2 > 0.93 and bias < 2% and can be used to estimate S. giganteum biomass more generally. This study provides the first estimate of the growth and carbon sequestration of UK open-grown S. giganteum and provides a baseline for estimating their longer-term carbon sequestration capacity.
FEATURES OF THE MANIFESTATION OF PLASTIC MOVEMENTS IN STUDENTS MOTOR FITNESS VARIOUS LEVELS
Authors: Kovalyova A.	A.
Published: May 2024

The analysis of scientific and methodological literature has enabled us to state that plasticity is characteristic of all motor actions close to perfection. It reflects their specific character and, with its various manifestations, emphasizes the diversity of human motor activity. Plasticity of movements, being an important qualitative aspect of motor activity, reflects the level of motor fitness. Insufficient study of various manifestations of students' plastic movement has been revealed, which confirms the relevance of this study.
The purpose of the research is to the study of movement plasticity of students with various levels of motor readiness.
The following research methods were used: the study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, and methods of mathematical statistics.
To determine the level of development of movement plasticity, a number of tests characterizing its various manifestations were used. This article provides the results of eight tests. The study involved 72 ASIPSC and YSU 1st and 3rd course students, who were divided into 2 groups: the 1st group were 38 students: 16 girls and 22 boys engaged in sports and the 2nd group were 34 students, 18 girls and 16 boys respectively not engaged in sports.
Studies of various manifestations of plastic movements both group students revealed an ambiguous picture.
As expected, the student-athletes, both boys and girls, performed better with the control tasks.
Diverse motor fitness, motor experience contributed to an average higher manifestation of plasticity of movements. Along with this, as the results of the study showed, the plasticity of movements in various types of motor activity has particular manifestations, and its development requires the purposeful use of means and methods aimed at increasing artistry, elegancy, and expressiveness of movements.
The data obtained in the course of the study on the plasticity of movements, as one of the manifestations of motor coordination, provide a general concept of the quality of its performance, and allow us to estimate the degree of formation of students’ general culture of motor.
Òrìsá Nlá Festival: Change and Continuity in the Festival of Obàtálá in Ilé-Ifè, Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Elugbaju Ayowole S.
Published: May 2024

In the Yòrùbá pantheon, Obàtálá, otherwise known as Òrìsá Nlá, is imagined as a creator god, next only to Olódùmarè. Meanwhile in Ilé-Ifè, Obàtálá is regarded as an important king of Ilé-Ifè, whose reign was significant to the development of monarchy in the reputed source of the Yòrùbá. In Ilé-Ifè, where festivals occur daily, the festival of Obàtálá is essential to the continuity of life and the institution of the monarchy. Thus, it is considered to be a national festival. Be that as it may, when placed at the intersection of Western education, colonialism, religion, and modernization, the festival of Obàtálá has been subject to change. Using primary and secondary sources, this article examines the nature of the changes associated with the festival. Despite the impact of change, attempts are being made to sustain the festival of Obàtálá through adaptation.
The Nones of Mombasa: Religious Disbelief and Disaffiliation on the East African Coast
Authors: Gadsby Blair Alan
Published: May 2024

Religious disbelief (RDb) and religious disaffiliation (RDa), which describe the intellectual, cultural, and social lives of contemporary citizens referred to as “Nones” (i.e., “none of the above” as a respondent’s choice among religious options), are emerging as sociological categories of increasing interest to religious studies scholars. Much of the research done thus far focuses on Western nations and religions. This study and the observations herein apply some of these same interests and methods to the African nonreligious scene. As a field site, the cosmopolitan city of Mombasa (pop. 1.2 million) on the Kenyan coast has for many recent generations been home to a variety of African, Arab, Indian-Asian, and European races, cultures, and religions. African Traditional Religions (ATRs), Islam(s), Indian religions, and Christianities all have a presence in this religiously pluralistic milieu. In this cosmopolitan context, we should expect to find among urban Africans some representation of trends found across the world, one of which is a potentially growing, if silent and low-profile, population called “Nones.”
An Inquiry into the “Maleness” of God in African Traditional Religions: The Igbo and Yorùbá as Illustrations
Authors: Ofuasia Emmanuel , Ibiyemi Sheriff Olasunkanmi
Published: May 2024

In recent times, religious cultures across sub-Saharan Africa have shown a penchant for a masculine conception of God. However, in traditional African religions it is a general and cardinal belief that the sex of God has not been observed or revealed. Nevertheless, rendering God as masculine has evolved into a norm. This article explores the linguistics of the Igbo and Yorùbá to challenge this “masculine given.” Through philosophical analysis, this article discloses that pronouns in these African cultures are both gender neutral and contextual. Since it is generally understood that no African can see God, the dominant outlook that God is masculine is therefore incorrect.

In this work, we were interested in the adsorption of an acid dye, Bemacid Blue E-TL by granular activated carbon based on olive stones. To shed light on the adsorption process, batch experiments were performed to study the effect of operating parameters on the adsorption process such as equilibrium time, GAC dose, pH, initial dye concentration, and temperature. The experimental results showed that the adsorption of the dye Bemacid Blue E-TL by GAC based on olive stones depends on the equilibrium time at 8 hours, the pH is 2 of the solution and the dose is 5 g.L-1. To explain the adsorption equilibrium, the experimental values were examined by Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models. The equilibrium is perfectly described by the Langmuir model whose correlation coefficient is higher than 0.99. The maximum retained quantity of the Bemacid Blue E-TL is 55.6 mg.g-1. Different kinetic models such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and the intraparticle diffusion equation were used to evaluate the adsorption kinetics. The results of the kinetic modeling showed that the pseudo-second order fitted the data well, with a high coefficient of determination (R2 > 0.99) and intra-particle diffusion is not the only rate-limiting step. The thermodynamic parameter values enthalpy (ΔH°), entropy (ΔS°), and energy change (ΔG°) show that the adsorption processes are endothermic and spontaneous. The various results obtained are promising and encouraging to consider a more comprehensive study with the objective of showing that the adsorbent chosen for this study is effective and could be used as a low-cost adsorbent for acid dye removal.

The global food production system is facing numerous challenges due to factors such as population growth, climate change, limited resources, and environmental preservation. To address these challenges, various strategies can be employed to develop future crops that are more productive, nutritious, and resilient. One strategy is to improve the yield potential of existing crops by developing new high-yielding cultivars. This can be achieved through the development of new varieties that can produce more grain under optimal conditions. Additionally, improving the nutritional quality of crops is important to address nutrient deficiencies. Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering methods can be used to develop crops with enhanced nutritional value. Efficient utilization of agricultural resources is another important aspect of crop improvement. This includes developing crops that use water and nutrients more efficiently, reducing the need for irrigation and fertilizers, and minimizing environmental impacts. Increasing the resistance of crops to pests, diseases, and extreme weather events can also help reduce the use of pesticides and minimize crop losses. The domestication of wild or semi-wild plants through genetic manipulation offers new opportunities for crop design. These plants may have high nutritional value, stress tolerance, and specialized metabolites that can be incorporated into cultivated crops. Similarly, the domestication of orphan or neglected plants can contribute to crop improvement by incorporating unique traits. Genetic improvement through the transfer of genes from wild relatives or other species can also enhance crop productivity. Advancements in genomics and genetic technologies can aid in the identification and transfer of beneficial alleles. Agronomic improvements, such as maximizing the effectiveness of crop protection agents and fertilizers while minimizing their environmental impact, can also contribute to crop performance. The emerging field of synthetic biology offers opportunities for developing novel biological devices and systems that can further enhance crop productivity and resilience. Overall, these strategies can help address the challenges faced by the global food production system.
A Carbon Dioxide Refinery: The Core of a Sustainable Carbon-based Circular Economy

Published: May 2024

The atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) accumulation (2–2.5 ppmv/year) is the result of the enormous gap between its emissions (37 Gton/year) and its capture, storage, and utilization (<500 Mton/year). Climate has been dramatically affected due to the failure of natural sinks, in working effectively. To address this Gton-scale gap, numerous uses and applications are needed particularly, those consuming vast volumes of this compound and/or rendering longevous products or long lifecycle services. Thus, carbon utilization (CU) can be seen as the step to close the carbon cycle. Among CU, R&D on CO2 chemical conversion has proposed a variety of processes, with different degrees of developmental maturity. These chemical process technologies could be efficiently and effectively integrated into refineries to upgrade emitted CO2. A technology pipeline consisting of a database of these processes and the technology market status should be defined based on published scientific results and patents. Then, an innovative top-down methodology is proposed to eco-design configurations of that refinery, to warrant a sustainable carbon cycle (in terms of energy, environment, and economy) and to change the ways of producing fuels, chemicals, and materials. Additionally, the proposed methodology could be used to identify research and development gaps and needs, for orienting science and technology investments and measures. Hopefully, sustainable CO2 refineries will be implemented to close the carbon cycle of a circular C-based economy and underpin a decarbonized chemical industry.

Authors: Zhou Beibei
Published: May 2024

This essay aims to investigate the primary beneficiaries within the fashion industry concerning NFTs, elucidate how luxury goods can derive benefits from NFTs, and discern potential future applications of luxury brand- related NFTs. Employing methods such as textual analysis and case studies, this research selects prominent luxury cases, exemplified by the likes of Burberry, Balmain, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, to analyze luxury brands' current utilization of NFTs. Moreover, the study identifies drawbacks and outlines the future research direction. Additionally, through semi-structured interviews, the paper engages with three relevant industry practitioners to acquire supplementary data. From the investigation above, one of the utmost features of NFTs is that it can guarantee the property rights of virtual assets, thus ensuring the viability of virtual product transactions. A reverse analysis concludes that products with value and scarcity are transformed into NFTs to maximise their advantages. The rise of the NFT art market is a substantial evidence of this argument. As a result, luxury brand are best suited to launching NFTs and are more likely to attract buyers to consume and collect them than other categories in the fashion industry.
