Categories of Sport-Environment and Condition of the Sports
Authors: Zhang Ziang
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the relationship between sports and their environment by categorizing sports based on the different level of control exerted over the environment. The four categories of sports environments include total control(sports that will not be affected by surrounding environment), partial control(sports that only with strict regulations of fields and courts but will be affected by climates), framed environmental conditions(sports that have specific restrictions of where to compete), and no control of the environment(sports that take place in natural environments where athletes have no control of environment and climates). This paper examines how each category impacts the players of the sports in terms of gameplay, injury potential, and fairness. Additionally, this paper describes the effects that sports events have on the environment, such as the damaging effects of pollution and noise pollution. Finally, the paper addresses potential solutions that will create a more sustainable relationship between sports and the environment.
The Healing Effect of Music on People with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Wu Xintong
Published: February 2024

Now that autism is more common, it is essential to study how to treat autism. Generally speaking, the methods to treat autism include Applied Behavior Aanalysis (ABA), etc., but exploring other ways is essential. The influence of music as a flowing art on people is difficult to estimate. As a new frontier discipline, music therapy is necessary in treating special people. This paper briefly summarizes the effects of sensory processing and music on the emotions and sensory integration of autistic patients, as well as some standard methods of music therapy, and appeals to more people to pay attention to the auxiliary therapeutic effect of music on autistic patients. The paper concluded that collaborations between music therapists, neuroscientists, educators, and caregivers hold the key to harnessing the holistic benefits of music for individuals with autism. By pooling their expertise and insights, we can develop comprehensive programs that harness the therapeutic potential of music and amplify its impact across different dimensions of autism.

Cultural Industry and Museum Digitization
Authors: Li Meixuan
Published: February 2024

Since the Industrial Revolution, people's daily work habits and the cultural industry have been influenced by capitalism. The essence of the cultural sector is that people temporarily forget the pain and boredom of life through entertainment and constantly inject a lot of information and new products into their lives, inducing the public to continually consume and establish a fictional personal image to satisfy the immediate sense of achievement that cannot be obtained from labor. The advent of the Internet era has accelerated the development of the cultural industry, changed how people get information and products, and made the enjoyment of art more related to enriching the perception of others and their understanding of their images. The digitalization of social media and museums has further enhanced the cultural industry, but people are also afraid of escaping reality. Therefore, this paper shows that the digital intelligence of the cultural sector and museums in public education is a new solution that can promote learning, improve cultural inheritance, and encourage creativity.

Comparative Analysis of Lexical Bundles in Dissertation Abstracts: Insights for Teaching Academic English to Chinese Students
Authors: Bao Kai
Published: February 2024

Lexical bundle research in academic abstracts has predominantly focused on research articles, with less attention given to dissertation abstracts. This is particularly relevant for Chinese graduate students who are required to provide English abstracts in their dissertations. Addressing this gap, the study compared the structural and functional distribution of lexical bundles in dissertation abstracts by linguistics students from China and the United States to inform academic instruction. Two corpora, the Chinese University Student Collection and the American University Student Collection, each with 700 abstracts, were compiled and analyzed. The findings showed that Chinese students proportionally used more noun phrase (NP) and prepositional phrase (PP)-based lexical bundles, but fewer verb phrase (VP)-based ones, compared to their American counterparts. Additionally, they used a higher proportion of research- and participant-oriented bundles, but fewer text-oriented bundles. These differences highlight distinct structural and functional preferences in lexical bundle usage between the two student groups. This study underscores the importance of adapting instructional strategies to address these differences, enhancing English academic writing skills of Chinese graduate students by acknowledging the diverse linguistic approaches of international student populations.

Published: February 2024

Introduction:

External fixation is a critical component of orthopaedic fracture management and is used for various conditions, including trauma and pediatric orthopaedics. However, the availability and high cost of external fixation devices are a concern, especially in rural and developing countries. 3D printing technology has shown promise in reducing manufacturing costs and improving accessibility to external fixation devices. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of a fully 3D-printed desktop external fixation device and compare the results with the mechanical properties of commonly used, clinically available external fixators.

Methods:

A fully 3D printable external fixator was designed and printed in polylactic acid at two infill densities, 20% and 100%. The mechanical properties of the 3D-printed external fixators and several commercially available fixators were tested according to applicable sections of the American Society for Testing and Materials F1541 standard protocol in axial, medial-lateral, and anterior-posterior orientations. The primary outcomes measured included failure load, safe load, rigidity, and yield load. The mean differences between experimental and control groups were calculated using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey tests.

Results:

The 20% infill 3D-printed construct showed poor performance compared with commercially available external fixators in all testing conditions and across most variables. The 100% infill 3D-printed construct was comparable with or superior to all commercially available devices in most testing conditions. The cost for printing a single 3D-printed 100% infill external fixator was $14.49 (United States Dollar).

Discussion:

This study demonstrates that a low-cost desktop 3D printer can create an entirely 3D-printed external fixator that resists clinically relevant forces similar to medical-grade industry-standard external fixators. Therefore, there is potential for customizable and low-cost external fixators to be manufactured with desktop 3D printing for use in remote areas and other resource-constrained environments for fracture care.

Most of the unexpected events occur in the hospital wards. An Early Warning System (EWS) is a system created to identify worsening patients outside the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). EWS is one of the requirements that must be met to get hospital accreditation. Hospitals have to choose the appropriate EWS to get optimal outcomes. This study aims to describe some of the EWS in the wards that have been researched and developed, as well as their performance in predicting severe adverse events (SAE). This study is a literature review design, conducting a systematic review by selecting relevant articles on Pub Med and Science Direct using the keyword "Early Warning Systems" in the 2018-2023 period. Out of 269 articles, only 12 articles that met the criteria. The selected articles are then systematically reviewed and analyzed. Based on the extraction results of 12 articles, 9 EWS were grouped into National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and its variants, Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) and its variants, and EWS integrated with Electronic Medical Record (EMR). In choosing an EWS, hospitals must consider the complexity of the cases being managed and the capabilities of existing resources. The recommended EWS in hospital wards with limited resources is weighted EWS or EWS with combinations, such as NEWS and MEWS with variants. Meanwhile, hospitals that have used EMR can choose EWS integrated with EMR to increase their predictive value for SAE, as well as improve protocol compliance.

Published: February 2024

To synthesise the best available evidence for the effectiveness of interventions delivered in community-based rehabilitation (CBR) centers on physical fitness, for community-dwelling older adults living in Asian countries. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Seven English and two Chinese electronic databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies that were conducted by centers providing CBR. Independent reviewers screened, quality-appraised and extracted data. The primary outcome was physical fitness measured by validated assessment tools, including the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), gait speed, hand grip strength, Functional Reach Test (FRT), and one-leg standing test. Assessments of activity of daily living and quality of life using tools including the Barthel Index, Short Form (SF)-12, and SF-36 were secondary outcomes. After screening 5,272 studies, 29 studies were included (16 RCTs, 13 quasi-experimental studies) from four countries. Meta-analyses found that CBR programs significantly decreased TUG time (mean difference [MD], -1.89 seconds; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], -2.84 to -0.94; I2=0%; Z=3.90, p<0.0001), improved gait speed (MD, 0.10 m/s; 95% CI, 0.01–0.18; I2=0%; Z=2.26, p=0.02), and increased one-leg standing time (MD, 2.81 seconds; 95% CI, 0.41–5.22; I2=0%; Z=2.29, p=0.02). Handgrip strength and FRT showed no statistically significant improvement in the meta-analyses. CBR may improve aspects of physical fitness for older adults in Asian countries. However, variability in intervention components and measurement tools reduced the ability to pool individual studies. Further trials are required with robust designs including standardised measures of physical fitness.

Solid-state fermentation: a review of its opportunities and challenges in the framework of circular bioeconomy
Authors: Sánchez Antoni , Oiza Nicolás , Artola Adriana , Font Xavier , Barrena Raquel , Moral-Vico Javier , Gea Teresa
Published: February 2024

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is on the way to become an attractive alternative for the valorisation of a wide range of organic waste. In biological terms, SSF can be defined as the cultivation process in which microorganisms grow on solid materials without the presence of free water. When these solid materials are organic waste and the objective is to produce one or several bioproducts of added value, SSF is a clear opportunity for circular bioeconomy, with a new paradigm “from waste to resource”. The development of SSF started a couple of decades ago, with biomolecules that only could be produced through biological systems, such as enzymes or antibiotics. However, a new generation of SSF bioproducts, which have a “twin” produced by chemical pathways, has emerged in the last years, with the advantages of having lower environmental impacts (for instance, no need of water and less energy requirements) and using waste as substrate. Some of these compounds are highly relevant in the field of chemical engineering: biosurfactants, biopesticides, aromas, bioplastics, pigments and bioflocculants, among others. This review explores the new advances in SSF: from the organic waste used as substrate to the main challenges SSF is facing, that is, mass and heat transfer limitations, bioproducts downstream and scale-up.

Turismo em unidades de conservação na Amazônia: reflexões a partir da Floresta Nacional de Carajás, no sudeste do Pará
Authors: Guimarães Rafael Souza , Moreira Edma do Socorro Silva
Published: February 2024

O artigo reflete sobre o recente processo de construção do turismo ecológico na Floresta Nacional de Carajás (Flona Carajás), localizada na mesorregião do sudeste do Pará. De modo geral, o turismo ecológico é apontado como uma alternativa de prática sustentável na natureza e dinamização da economia local. Neste sentido, as Unidades de Conservação (UCs) apresentam grande potencial para o desenvolvimento desta atividade, como é o caso da Flona Carajás, ainda que ela apresente controversas entre a conservação da biodiversidade, o desenvolvimento de práticas de turismo ecológico e a exploração do minério de ferro pela mineradora Vale S.A. Essa exploração mineral provocou, ao longo dos anos, intensos conflitos socioambientais na região, exercendo forte domínio sobre o território, definindo e restringindo o acesso aos bens naturais. Sendo assim, a sustentabilidade do turismo em um contexto de exploração mineral, suscita diversas questões, inclusive sobre o discurso ambiental pregado pelos atores sociais envolvidos neste processo. Para compreender esta dinâmica, partimos de uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo como referencial teórico autores como: Ansarah (1999); Furlan (2003); e Santos (2019). Para a coleta de dados foram analisados documentos técnicos, além da realização de visitas in loco (2020-2021) e entrevistas semiestruturadas (2023) com atores sociais que participam do processo de construção do turismo ecológico na Flona Carajás. Conclui-se que, apesar do turismo ecológico se apresentar como alternativa sustentável que se opõe à degradação ambiental, os interesses mercadológicos de apropriação da natureza têm potencial para transformá-la em mais um produto com valor de mercado, se utilizando de um discurso ambiental contraditório que pode ocultar os conflitos socioambientais existentes na região.
A review of two decades of research on sustainable regional and trans-border infrastructure
Authors: Dorhetso Samuel
Published: February 2024

In spite of the budding interest of researchers, policymakers and practitioners, there are still differing and disjointed conceptualizations of sustainable regional and trans-border infrastructure (SRTBI) as its meadow is still emerging. In an effort to fill this research gap, the resolution of this study was to review and synthesize SRTBI research and to provide directions for future research. The author reviewed peer-reviewed theoretical and empirical journal articles published during the last two decades – from 2003 to 2023. Scopus database was the source of the journal articles collected to conduct this study. Selected keywords from a rigorous review of literature were pooled with Boolean operators and searched. Subsequently, a scrupulous screening procedure with an inclusion and exclusion criteria was adopted to select the relevant articles for the study. The selected journal articles on SRTBI were subsequently synthesized for further acumens. The field of SRTBI is bitty and has advanced in the passage of the last two decades in diverse ways. This study identified core publication vents and papers, key theoretical and methodological approaches and key variables of interest that exist in the SRTBI literature. The findings also suggested a few research themes for future studies. The study can significantly impact academia and organisational research literature, and it can extend conceptual perspectives of implications of resolutions made to adopt a SRTBI. Adding to its theoretical value, the study has significant implications for policy and practise, as it would expand viewpoints on decisions to adopt SRTBI. The study was based on documents retrieved from Scopus and any limitations of the database may have implications for the findings.

Published: February 2024

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are clusters of abnormal arteries and vessels connected by one or more direct connections called fistula or shunt. AVM can occur in any part of the body. Pancreatic arteriovenous malformation (P-AVM) can be defined as an abnormal vascular network that develops from one or more feeding arteries, dilates early drainage vessels, and forms an arteriovenous shunt. In this paper, we wanted to represent a 45-year-old male patient admitted to our hospital due to abdominal pain with a case of AVM and a review of the literature.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to conduct a bibliographic analysis of the theses on tetanus published in our country.

Materials and methods: The bibliometric analysis was carried out on tetanus-related graduate theses written in Turkey between 1971 and 2020. The theses were examined in terms of date, type, subject, institution, sample size, and index.

Results: The study included 41 theses. The sample size ranged from 13 to 1,292. Ege University, Dokuz Eylul University, Gazi University, and Mustafa Kemal University were the institutions with the most theses written from 28 different institutions. Thirty (73.1%) of the theses were medical specialty theses. They were mostly written by the branches of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (31.7%) and Microbiology (21.9%).

Conclusion: In the content analysis of the theses, it was determined that there were studies on antibody level/immunity/vaccine and seroprevalence, but there were few studies on disease treatment. This study is limited to the theses written in our country. By expanding the scope of the study, more detailed information can be obtained.

Abstract: Indonesia's maritime potential holds a significant position in the country's economy, considering Indonesia's status as an archipelagic country with several ports and sea routes which have a strategic position because Indonesia is located between two continents and two oceans, namely Asia and Australia Continents, and, Indian and the Pacific Oceans. As much as 40% of world trade routes also pass through Indonesia. However, the challenge faced by Indonesia in utilizing its potential is that maritime effectiveness and security are still low. Therefore, the transformation of maritime policy in the digital era is important to increase maritime effectiveness and security in Indonesia. Transforming maritime policy in the digital era can help improve port connectivity, increase maritime supply chain efficiency, and strengthen maritime security systems. This research will use a mixed methodology that includes literature analysis and policy analysis to explain the role of technology in increasing maritime effectiveness and security in Indonesia in the digital era. This writing concluded that the transformation of maritime policy in the digital era can have a significant impact on real-world security and cyber security. However, there are obstacles that need to be overcome so that the use of technology in maritime policy can be carried out effectively and efficiently. Therefore, more serious, and integrated efforts are needed from the government and society to overcome these obstacles and ensure that the transformation of maritime policy in the digital era can provide optimal benefits for the security and defense of maritime areas as well as cyber security in Indonesia.
