Published: June 2024

This article aims to measure how much knowledge, perception, and expectations society has regarding sports injury management and sports achievement. This research is descriptive quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. Total respondents in the study as many as 290 people. The data collected are demographic data and statements about knowledge, perceptions, and expectations regarding general health, injury, and sporting achievement. This statement is measured using the Likert scale. The majority of respondents were vulnerable aged 10-19 years (53.8%), and 62.8% of respondents from the general public. The frequency of physical activity performed by respondents was 2x/week (43.1%). Respondents' answers were in the excellent category for knowledge (70.3%), strongly agreed to perception (61.7%) expectations (73.8%). The entire group of both age, last education occupation, residence, respondent type, injury history, and frequency of physical activity had a sig > 0.05, which means no group is significantly related to both knowledge, perception, and expectations. The lack of sports medicine personnel causes most sports injuries currently managed by primary health facilities. Simultaneously, the treatment of sports injuries needs to be handled quickly and appropriately to prevent greater risk. If the handling of sports injuries is dealt with by people who have improper competence, it will impact the future of the athlete. Therefore, every sport of achievement needs to get assistance from sports medicine personnel. The system of mentoring athletes by competent doctors in sports, also supports the improvement of sports achievement coaching.

Authors: Badau Adela , Cengiz Şebnem Şarvan , Karesi Hüseyin , Er Batuhan
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between eccentric hamstring muscle strength and acceleration and vertical jump in professional female soccer players. Twentieth professional female soccer players actively playing soccer participated in the study voluntarily with age (arithmetic mean±standard deviation) 18.31±5,97. The NORDBORD device was used to measure the participants' hamstring eccentric force output, the Smartspeed™ Contact Mat was used for vertical jump performance and the FUSIONSPORTS Smartspeed™ PRO photocell (Fusion Sport, Queensland, Australia) was used for 0-20m sprint performance measurements. When the relationship between eccentric hamstring strength parameters, vertical jump and sprint performance of the participants was analyzed, no significance was found. It is seen that there is a negative relationship between VJ and 0-5m at a moderate level (r=-586, p=.022) and a negative relationship between VJ and 0-20m at a high level (r=-.793, p=-.000). Since the studies examining the relationship between Hamstring Strength and Sprint performance are limited in number, it is not possible to reach a definite conclusion, more comprehensive and more studies are needed.
Key words: Hamstring, Eccentric, Sprint, Acceleration, Vertical Jump, Football players.

Algumas questões centralizam os debates sobre a educação de surdos na contemporaneidade e dizem respeito ao processo de aprendizado/ampliação da língua de sinais e letramento em língua portuguesa. De fato, a maioria das escolas bilíngues para surdos no Brasil, prescreve em sua matriz curricular o ensino e desenvolvimento da língua de sinais e língua portuguesa na modalidade escrita e ambas são consideradas línguas de instrução. Assim sendo, este estudo objetiva mobilizar reflexões a respeito do ensino de língua brasileira de sinais na escola bilíngue, inserido em práticas discursivas, com vistas a ampliar o repertório linguístico do surdo e garantir o avanço de sua escolarização. O estudo é bibliográfico, baseando-se em referências teóricas da área da educação de surdos, além de alguns livros de literatura infantil. Espera-se que o desenvolvimento deste estudo possa contribuir com o debate sobre a apropriação da língua brasileira de sinais, experiências em língua portuguesa e seus possíveis sentidos dentro de contextos sociais.
Hierarchy of interpersonal synergies in basketball: a theoretical and methodological approach
Authors:   , Santos Rodrigo de Miranda Monteiro
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to discuss and identify, theoretically and methodologically, the hierarchical levels (i.e., dyadic and collective) of defensive interpersonal synergies in basketball. We suggest that the characteristics of a task constrain the formation of synergies from the dyadic to the collective level. Consequently, identifying multi-level interpersonal synergies in team sports demands studying the formation of synergies as a task-dependent phenomenon. Likewise, we recommend that future studies address this issue and take into account the relevance of performance goals in each level (i.e., dyadic and collective) of analysis. The Uncontrolled Manifold (UCM) concept was used to determine the limits of variability of values of task elements that allow to stabilize the performance measure. The task elements were players’ positions captured by the bidimensional (x and y) coordinates. The performance goal selected for identifying the presence of interpersonal synergies in the defensive phase of play at the dyadic level was the interpersonal distance between defenders, which, it is assumed, tends to be stabilized to prevent an opponent to get near the basket. At the collective level, the performance goal selected was the distance between the team centroid – formed by the average positions of all players in the court – and the ball, whose stabilization is likely to ensure cohesion in defense. The measures proposed in the present study were adequate to describe the defensive synergistic behavior of a basketball team in a match of the regular season of the NBA, both at dyadic and collective levels. Dyadic synergies predicated on the stabilization of the interpersonal distance by two defenders were observed during the whole match. Although collective synergies were only observed in 30% of the plays, the frequency of synergies predicated on the distance between the team centroid and the ball might be related with the occurrence of more complex team defensive behaviors. No significant differences were found in the frequency or strength of synergies between two teams during an NBA match. The dyadic synergies that most contributed to the formation of collective synergies (D5 and D6, respectively) was the only aspect that significantly distinguished the defensive behavior of Team A and Team B. Nevertheless, the variables proposed in this study were capable of identifying a fair number of interpersonal synergies at both levels (i.e., dyadic and collective). Even so, further research is needed to investigate other performance variables and their association with defensive performance. Keywords: Basketball. Synergies. Uncontrolled Manifold.

Authors: Pushpendra Rai  , Santosh Mani  , Sunil Yadav
Published: June 2024

The increased adsorption of anionic dyes on agricultural residues, such as sawdust and sawdust treated with cationic surfactant, presents an intriguing occurrence within the realm of surfactant- driven environmental technology. This research investigates into the efficacy of sawdust (SD) and surfactant modified sawdust as adsorbents for the removal of anionic dyes such as acid orange-2 (AO) from aqueous solutions. Surfactant treated sawdust samples were prepared by treating sawdust with cationic surfactant having different length of alkyl group such as tetra ethyl ammonium bromide (TEAB), hexa decyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The adsorption of acidic dyes demonstrated a substantial improvement following surfactant treatment and also the chain lengths of alkyl group in surfactant have synergistic effect on adsorption process. The pH level was observed to significantly impact the adsorption process, with the optimal pH for acidic dye adsorption falling within the 2-3 range. Adsorption mechanism and useful insights of the process was carried out by applying the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm frameworks. The results suggested that modified sawdust with surfactants has the potential to function as an economical adsorbent in the removal of acid dyes.
Employee Satisfaction in Small Scale Enterprises in Bangalore
Authors: Dr. S. Jayalakshmi Priya
Published: June 2024

Employee satisfaction today is the most important thing which has to be taken care of by the management. In small scale enterprises it is often not given the importance as chasing after orders and carrying out production activities with greater significance. So what is the role played by the proprietor/manager to keep his enterprises in the optimal production stage and his employees satisfied? The research gap here refers to the desired targets not being met and the deadlines are not kept in any organization.  Because of this problem the managers opt for a optimal production goal with sufficient production accruing satisfactory profits so that the employees are assured of their salaries on time and payment for overtime. This is so because the aspiration level of set target of production may be higher than the actual level acquired. The aspirational level of production targeted may be higher but if the actual level of production maybe lesser then the employee is dissatisfied due to less wages and because of fall in profits. So Simon’s Behavioral model of Satisficing tells us about the satisfaction and sufficing meaning a sufficient level of profits have to be earned to keep the employees at a satisfied level. The findings showed that higher salaries and payment for overtime was what brought about employee satisfaction. The sample size taken was 150. Electrical machining & fabricating industries was selected for study. The study centered around the primary data. The sampled respondents from Bangalore and Kolar small enterprises showed preference for welfare facilities such as transportation and canteen facilities.

Authors: Tümkaya Gülşah Selin , Çetinbaş Emin , Merk Ramazan
Published: June 2024

The article seeks to explore the historical progression of inclusive education in the United Kingdom. Given the growing population of students with Special Education Needs (SEN), it becomes crucial to reinforce the principles and teaching methods associated with inclusive education. While the number of students receiving special education in the UK is increasing day by day, concepts such as legislation, rights, and inclusion gain more and more importance for students receiving special education. Hence, it could be crucial to reassert the principles and teaching methods that form the foundation of the UK education system and to ensure that the government follows through on its dedication to introducing inclusive education. A systematic literature review method was used in the study. All the documents needed to understand the implications of the historical development of inclusive education in the UK have been accessed online. Inclusion criteria: It is the evaluation of the regulation considering mainstreaming education policies, laws and articles. Exclusion criteria: documents regarding inclusive education but not legislation, policies and laws. Plus, articles on inclusive education interventions and teaching methodologies were also excluded. It is expected that the article will provide an analytical perspective on legislation by establishing a vision of inclusive education in the UK for other countries as well.
Why Is Gender Diversity Important for Corporate Boards?
Authors: Mustapha Fatima Gana , Adamu Idris Adamu , Abudllahi Zaharaddin
Published: June 2024

The diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, abilities, and resources on boards improves a company’s performance. In recent times, board gender diversity has attracted the attention of policymakers, regulators, and academics. This study explored the influence of board gender diversity on corporate performance. The sample of the study consists of 15 consumer goods companies on the Nigerian Exchange Group from 2012 to 2021. The study uses fixed effects regression to estimate the model. The evidence indicates that gender diversity “proxied” by female directors on the boards has a positive outcome and significantly affects corporate performance. Hence, consumer goods companies may perform better as a whole if they have more female directors on their boards. The findings are consistent with prior studies and with resource dependency theory. The study suggests that companies with zero female directors should hire them while those with a single female director should consider adding more since corporate performance will be improved as a result.

Are Entrepreneurs Probabilists or Possibilists? Observing Opportunity as Possibilities, Probabilistically
Authors: Leong David
Published: June 2024

This paper explores uncertainty, possibility, and entrepreneurial inclination in entrepreneurship. It presents a novel probabilistic lens to comprehend uncertainty and its impact on entrepreneurial theory and practice, highlighted through analyzing decision-making behavior via the Monty Hall problem. The deterministic perspective is called into question when entrepreneurship is depicted as an agent whose outcomes are indeterminate and probabilistically predetermined. Entrepreneurs effectively handle risk and uncertainty, venturing into uncharted territories to attain possible benefits. The research distinguishes between probabilists, who base their decision-making on likelihoods, and possibilists, who investigate the attainable through imaginative potential. This possibilist approach incorporates concepts of contingency and potential, recognizing both the potential outcomes and the associated dangers, making a valuable contribution to practical application. Theoretically, this paper contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by offering the Many-Doors model as a tool for understanding the complex interplay between an individual’s inclination toward probability or possibility and their entrepreneurial decisions. This conceptual model functions as a link integrating elements of risk, uncertainty, and strategic choice, thereby broadening the theoretical frameworks used to analyze entrepreneurial behavior, potentially resulting in a more holistic understanding of entrepreneurial dynamics.

This study aims to evaluate the resistance of six Indonesian tilapia strains to TiLV disease and assess the impact of mimicked daily water temperature fluctuations on the disease severity. Six widely cultured Indonesian tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) strains were evaluated for resistance to tilapia lake virus disease (TiLVD). Resistance to TiLVD was assessed using two artificial infection methods, cohabitation and intraperitoneal (IP) injection. Fish infected with TiLVD exhibited behavioural, clinical and mortality patterns associated with TiLV disease. Virus presence was also confirmed molecularly. All six tilapia strains were susceptible to TiLV infection, causing disease and mortality. The range of mortality for cohabitation was 1.67% - 28.33% and for IP injection was 16.67% - 61.67%. The most resistant tilapia strain to TiLV disease was Gesit, followed by Best, Red/Albino, Nirwana, Non-specific and Srikandi. Daily temperature variation results in higher significant virus-induced mortality pattern among tilapia strains. These findings can be used to guide the selection of appropriate tilapia strain and temperature control to mitigate the adverse effects of TiLV associated disease.

Nearly two centuries ago, people became aware that various diseases, such as the common cold, asthma, Alzheimer's, and psychological disorders, manifest changes in a human voice. The recent emergence of the virus known as "COVID-19" has claimed millions of lives due to delayed detection of infected individuals. Traditional medical techniques for virus detection are time-consuming and costly. However, recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer remote diagnosis for analysing and identifying diseases that cause variations in voice. The evolution of machine learning provides numerous techniques to extract meaningful information from vocal biomarkers.
This study explores innovative techniques to enhance the analysis of vocal biomarkers, emphasizing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and machine learning for assessing respiratory diseases. The end goal of the study is to improve the performance by utilizing synthetic data for training purposes. Subsequently, machine learning models are employed to analyze real-time data for detecting respiratory illnesses. Comparing different machine learning algorithms gives us a better understanding of their capabilities and drawbacks

Developing a Framework on Modeling Dependence across Stock Markets using Copulas: A Case of 5 SADC Stock Markets
Authors: Basvi Brian
Published: June 2024

Selecting the right dependence measure is crucial for multivariate statistical modelling. Because correlation is based on the elliptical distributions assumption of normalcy, which breaks down when there are extreme endpoints in either marginal or higher dimension, correlation is fraught with dangers. Copulas provide an alternate dependence measure that gets over correlation’s drawbacks and can be used to identify if a reliance is linear, upper tail, or lower tail. In order to evaluate the efficacy of regional integration, this study investigates whether copulas are suitable for simulating bivariate reliance among five SADC stock markets. The research design used in the study was explanatory and descriptive. Because of their favourable characteristics, Archimedean copulas were investigated using both parametric and non-parametric methods. Because the markets were likely to boom concurrently, non-parametric estimate produced insightful results demonstrating the suitability of the Gumbel copula in dependence modelling and suggesting that investors have opportunities for portfolio diversification throughout the region.

Development of an integrated analytical platform of clay minerals separation, characterization and 40K/40Ar dating
Authors: Gerardin Marie , Milesi Gaetan , Mercadier Julien , Cathelineau Michel , Bartier Danièle
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Isotopic dating is a valuable method to constrain the timing of lithospheric processes: geodynamic episodes, ore deposition and geothermal regimes. The K-Ar dating technique has the main advantage of being applied to ubiquitous K-bearing minerals that crystallize in various temperatures, from magmatic to low temperatures. Clays are of significant interest among all K-bearing minerals, as they crystallize during various hydro-thermo-dynamic processes. Nonetheless, the dating of illites by the K-Ar method is not straightforward. K-Ar dates on illite usually rely on a mixed isotopic signal referring to various illitic populations that might have experienced isotopic resetting or re-crystallization processes. Therefore, reliable K-Ar dates on illite depend on (1) the grain size separation of large amounts of clay fractions, (2) the study of the morphology, mineralogy and crystallography, (3) the determination of precise K-Ar dates on each clay size fraction and (4) the meaningful interpretation of ages using either end-member ages or the Illite-Age-Analysis (IAA) method.

Abstract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an important role in modulating the atmosphere’s oxidizing capacity and affect tropospheric ozone, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and organic aerosol formation. Space-based observations can provide powerful global information to advance our knowledge of these processes and their changes over time. We present here the development of new retrievals for four key VOCs (methanol, ethene, ethyne, and HCN) based on thermal infrared radiance observations from the satellite-borne Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS). We update the Retrieval of Organics from CrIS Radiances (ROCR) algorithm developed previously for isoprene to explicitly account for the spectral signal dependence on the VOC vertical profile shape, and apply this updated retrieval (ROCRv2) to derive column abundances for the targeted species across the full Suomi-NPP CrIS record (2012–2023). The CrIS data are well-correlated with ground-based Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) retrievals for methanol (r=0.77–0.84); HCN and ethyne exhibit lower correlations (r=0.36–0.44 and 0.56–0.65, respectively) with an apparent 40 % CrIS/NDACC disparity for ethyne. The results reveal robust global distributions of the target VOCs from known biogenic, biomass burning, and industrial source regions, and demonstrate the impact of anomalous events such as the 2015–2016 El Niño. They also highlight the importance of accurate vertical profile constraints when evaluating and interpretating thermal infrared data records. Initial comparisons of the CrIS observations to predicted VOC distributions from the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model point to large uncertainties in our current understanding of the atmospheric ethene budget as well as to underestimated HCN, ethyne, and methanol sources.

Abstract. Satellite-based column-averaged dry air CO2 mole fraction (XCO2) retrievals are frequently used to improve the estimates of terrestrial net carbon exchanges (NEE). The Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3 (OCO-3) satellite, launched in May 2019, was designed to address important questions about the distribution of carbon fluxes on Earth, but its role in estimating global terrestrial NEE remains unclear. Here, using the Global Carbon Assimilation System, version 2, we investigate the impact of OCO-3 XCO2 on the estimation of global NEE by assimilating the OCO-3 XCO2 retrievals alone and in combination with the OCO-2 XCO2 retrievals. The results show that when only the OCO-3 XCO2 is assimilated (Exp_OCO3), the estimated global land sink is significantly lower than that from the OCO-2 experiment (Exp_OCO2). The estimate from the joint assimilation of OCO-3 and OCO-2 (Exp_OCO3&2) is comparable on a global scale to that of Exp_OCO2. However, there are significant regional differences. Compared to the observed global annual CO2 growth rate, Exp_OCO3 has the largest bias, and Exp_OCO3&2 shows the best performance. Furthermore, validation with independent CO2 observations shows that the biases of the Exp_OCO3 are significantly larger than those of Exp_OCO2 and Exp_OCO3&2 at mid and high latitudes, probably due to the fact that OCO-3 only has observations from 52° S to 52° N. Our study indicates that assimilating OCO-3 XCO2 retrievals alone leads to an underestimation of land sinks at high latitudes, and that a joint assimilation of OCO-2 and OCO-3 XCO2 retrievals is required for a better estimation of global terrestrial NEE.

Abstract. The Central Anatolian Plateau with its volcanic provinces represents a broad transition zone between the compressional deformation in the east and the extensional regime in the west. The Central Anatolian Fault Zone separates the Kırşehir Block in the north and the Anatolide–Tauride Block in the south within the plateau. A proper understanding of physical properties such as seismic attenuation in the crustal volume of this region can provide hints toward the possible source for the geodynamic events in the past and present that likely lead to the observed deformation. In order to model intrinsic and scattering attenuation separately, we perform a nonempirical coda-wave modeling approach in which a fitting process between observed and synthetic coda-wave envelopes is performed for each earthquake in multiple frequency bands. Here, the acoustic radiative transfer theory, assuming multiple isotropic scattering, was utilized for the forward modeling of the synthetic coda-wave envelopes of local earthquakes. Our findings generally highlight the prominent nature of intrinsic attenuation over scattering attenuation, implying the presence of thick volcanic rocks with relatively high attenuation values beneath Central Anatolia. Overall, the spatial distribution of the attenuation at varying frequencies marks the Kırşehir Massif distinctively with its considerable high-attenuating character. Our findings, combined with early seismological and geo-electrical models, suggest a possible partial melt beneath most of the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province, and the resultant zones of elevated fluid-rich content exhibit high and dominant intrinsic attenuation. To the southeast, a gradual decrease in the observed attenuation coincides with the Central Taurus Mountains where high altitude is considered to be evolved following the slab break-off and resulting mantle upwelling.

Development of improved mathematical models for droplet impaction on plant leaf surfaces
Authors:   , Huet Olivier
Published: June 2024

While agrichemical spraying aims to protect crops and help produce more food, the chemicals can harm the environment. This doctorate studies how tiny spray droplets behave when they hit the plant surfaces. In particular, this research aims to investigate how adding surfactants to the spray formulation can enhance the retention of sprayed products on the plants themselves. The methodology includes a combination of careful experimental work and detailed computational modelling and high-performance computing. Better retention not only mitigates the environmental impact but also reduces costs for farmers and saves water.

Authors:   , Amaya Catano Jorge Alberto
Published: June 2024

This work presents a new approach for patient-specific vascular models, capturing anatomy, hemodynamic, and cell arrangement. MRI images were utilized to create 3D models of carotid vessel bifurcations. Computational fluid dynamics was employed to investigate hemodynamics. Replicas of the carotid vessel were produced via 3D-DLP bioprinting, resembling cellular organization with embedded human smooth muscle cells and seeded endothelial cells. The study demonstrated cell viability, proliferation, and arrangement in the perfused channels comparable to traditional methods. The model allowed for the study of hemodynamic impact on biologically relevant anatomies, enabling experimental validation of the progression of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.

The increased demand for tomato products has spurred the cultivation of various varieties and hybrids. Particularly notable are the tomato hybrids whose fruits are harvested collectively in entire branches (racemes), thus earning them the name “raceme tomatoes”. The scientific studies were carried out in 2021-2023, in the glass experimental greenhouse of the Scientific Center of Vegetable and Industrial Crops of the Ministry of Agriculture of the RA, Darakert, Ararat Marz, during two vegetation periods: spring and autumn. The study focused on five raceme tomato hybrids: Prodezo F1, Santiana F1, Adventure F1 by Rijk Zwaan, Climbo F1 by Syngenta, and hybrid RM-4, which was obtained by us (Known since 2023 as Syune). Prodezo F1 hybrid, which is included in the state register of Armenia, served as the control. The selection of hybrids was based on the increasing demand among the population for raceme tomatoes. According to varietal characteristics and vegetation period, the dry matter content varied from 6.14 % to 7.74 %, which was 2.88 % - 3.22 % for sugars, and 18.44 % - 22.13 % for ascorbic acid content. As a result of the study, the hybrids Adventure F1 by
Rijk Zwaan and RM-4 (Syune), a locally cultivated hybrid, stood out for their quality indicators among the examined tomato hybrids, regardless of the vegetation period. These high-quality hybrids will be introduced to greenhouses of Armenia for further cultivation.
