Associations between musculoskeletal injury and selected lower limb biomechanical measurements in female amateur ballet dancers
Authors:   , Allison Kate
Published: March 2022

Background: Classical ballet is an art form that seems graceful on the surface. However, beneath the disguise of beauty and ease lies an extremely physically demanding activity that calls for dedication, strength and perseverance. Ballet requires a specific body type and precise techniques, which predispose the dancer to musculoskeletal injury. Although a few studies have been conducted to investigate biomechanical factors as risk factors for injury in ballet dancers, few have included amateur ballet dancers and a range of biomechanical factors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine characteristics of ballet-related injury in amateur ballet dancers in the greater Durban area; to measure and record lower limb biomechanical measurements of these dancers; and to identify associations between the biomechanical measurements and characteristics of injury in the population. Method: A quantitative, questionnaire-based survey with biomechanical measurements was conducted on 21 amateur ballet dancers in the greater Durban area. Statistical analysis included the description of categorical variables using frequency and percentages in tables and bar charts. Continuous variables were summarised using mean, standard deviation and range, or median and range as appropriate. Independent Sample T-tests were used to compare biomechanical measurements between two independent groups. A p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Pearson’s correlations and ANOVA testing were also used. Results: The period prevalence of ballet-related injury over the last 2 years was found to be 62% and the point prevalence 38%. There were 37 total previous injuries, most of which occurred in the hamstring (24%). Most of the worst previous injuries were reported to have occurred in the low back (31%). Most of the worst previous (70%) and current (93%) injuries occurred over time. The worst previous injuries reported ranged from mild to severe in severity, while the worst current injuries reported ranged from mild to moderate. Significant associations were found between right weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion and previous injury; right weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion and current injury; ‘functional turnout’ and onset of injury; right non weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion and onset of injury; and ‘compensated turnout’ and onset of injury. Conclusion: The results suggest a significant association between musculoskeletal ballet-related injury and reduced weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion; between injuries that occur over time (overuse injuries) and decreased ‘functional turnout’; and between overuse injuries and decreased non weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion. These findings may help identify risk factors for injury in ballet dancers and contribute towards preventing ballet-related injury.

Published: March 2022

Background: Ageing is associated with a decrease in cognitive, motor, and dual-task capacities, leading to a possible loss in autonomy. Cognitive-motor dual-task training is known to be effective on these functions but suffers from low adherence level. On this point, exergames seem to be a promising solution. We aim to evaluate the effects of a new customized exergame on cognitive and motor capabilities in the elderly. Methods: Thirty-nine elderly persons (65 years old or above) will carry out 30 minutes of cognitive-motor dual-task training through our exergame, 3 times a week for 12 weeks. We will assess postural control under single and dual-task conditions (stabilometric platform), mental inhibition (Stroop test), mental flexibility (Trail Making Test), working memory (N-Back), mobility (Timed Up-and-Go), balance (Berg Balance Scale), fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale), quality of life (EuroQol), city exploration, and tracked (Armband®) or self-reported (QAPPA) physical activity level. Lastly, we will assess the safety (adverse events appearance) and the adhesion (compliance, drop-out, motivation) levels of this intervention. These evaluations will take place after the training protocol and after a 3-month follow-up. Discussion: This pilot study is expected to bring positive gains for the participants, as well as exploration of current knowledge gaps in the literature.

Authors: Gansel Martin
Published: March 2022

Caffeinated drinks are popular because of their mood- and performance-enhancing effects. Energy drinks in particular are advertised with these properties, with the content of caffeine and taurine being a central component of these products. However, little is known about the influence of taurine and caffeine on immune cells. This article answers the following research question: “How high is the effect of the combination of caffeine and taurine of different concentrations on activated B-cells”.Immunoglobulin production is a measure of B-cell activity. This property is determined in mouse B-cells. For this purpose, these cells are taken from the spleen of mice, induced with CD40/IL4 and the activity is checked with the aid of an immunoglobulin ELISA. Low doses of taurine and caffeine in combination do not cause any significant change in immunoglobulin production, whereas high doses (4 or 40 mg / ml) lead to cell death.

Published: March 2022

Dams are one of the most important constructions for our country. The body height of the dams is one of the important factors in the efficiency of the dams. Today, the body height of dams is calculated by engineers. The aim of our study is to calculate the dam height with the deep learning model of artificial intelligence. Modeling was coded with python software. Numpy pandas libraries were used for the analysis of dam data. Matplotlib and seaborn were employed to visualize the data. Sklearn, tensorflow and keras libraries were used for deep learning modeling. Dam data are limited to irrigation dams in Turkey. For data analysis, the altitude, height, volume, area, temperature and precipitation characteristics were taken into consideration. As a result of our study, the dam body height estimation was done by teaching the dam data to the machine through multi-layer artificial neural networks of the deep learning model. The deviation in the body height estimations was found to be higher due to the insufficient data.

Authors: YALÇINKAYA Zeki , CEYLAN Hasan
Published: March 2022

The tobacco roasting-process was carried out and a study was carried out on the composition of the gases released during this process. It has been determined that the amounts of substances obtained from the studied tobacco are generally less than the amounts of substances obtained in the literature. The volatile gases formed during this roasting were passed over some clay minerals and adsorbed on them. The adsorbed components were desorbed by diethyl ether extraction. Adsorption and desorption analyzes were investigated by GC and TG techniques. The components released during the tobacco-roasting process were first directly obtained and analyzed by gas chromatography. Then, the adsorbing efficiency to clay for each of the components in the vapors from tobacco was calculated by comparing the amount of the component retained in the absence of adsorbent with the amount retained after the component was passed over the adsorbent. The structure of the clay samples used as adsorbent was investigated by chemical analysis and DTA techniques. The adsorption efficiencies are discussed with the physical properties of the clays, the affinities of the volatile components, and their adsorption efficiency. Most of the volatiles adsorbed on the adsorbents were recovered by diethyl ether extraction. Especially benzaldehyde, propionic acid, furfuryl alcohol, 3-methylbutanoic acid and nicotine were recovered with good yield.

In this study, some vapor phase components formed during the tobacco roasting-process were identified by gas chromatography. Of the tobacco samples studied, the amounts of nicotine and benzyl alcohol were the highest. Volatiles occurring at 100C were generally less than those formed at 150C. It was observed that the amount of volatiles in Bitlis Sirmaçek Village tobacco was slightly higher than Muş Ahçivan tobacco roasted at the same temperature. Adsorption on alumina, sepiolite and silica gel and desorption of adsorbed components by diethyl ether extraction were investigated in order to recover volatile substances that can be used as cigarette flavorings from tobacco roasting. The adsorption and desorption activities of nicotine, 5-methylfurfural, acetol and pyridine, which are the main components in the vapor phase formed by the tobacco roasting process, were investigated. In addition, the components adsorbed on silica gel were recovered by an organic solvent extraction method. Recovery by carbon disulfide extraction showed maximum efficiency and many volatile compounds, especially sugar-like thermal decomposition products, were recovered in good yield. Adsorption efficiencies of adsorbents are discussed with their raw material, specific surface area, micropore size distribution and affinity of volatile components.

Disparate Impact Analysis of the Critical Hire-Personality Assessment
Authors: Tatman Tony
Published: March 2022

Pre-employment personality testing has become widely used across a variety of work settings. A relatively new area where pre-employment personality testing is being implemented is in the field of community-based corrections (CBCs). One instrument being used in CBCs for this purpose is the Critical Hire-Personality Assessment (CH-PA). Federal laws and hiring guidelines have been enacted that impact the use of pre-employment personality assessments such as the CH-PA. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, for example, prohibit employment discrimination based on gender, age, and racial/ethnic status. The present study examines if the CH-PA complies with federal laws and guidelines regarding employee selections by examining the degree to which the CH-PA scale and subscale scores differ based on CBC officer gender, age, and racial/ethnic status. Results revealed that the CH-PA scales and subscales do not differ in a manner that would significantly contribute to a disparate or adverse impact based on CBC officer applicant gender, age, and racial/ethnic status. Implications of these findings for CBC agencies are discussed.

Human resource management (HRM) practices play crucial roles in ensuring that organizations deliver quality services. The study assessed the effect of selected key HRM practices on job satisfaction among employees of the University of Cape Coast. Using an explanatory design, a sample of 302 respondents was selected from a population of 1469 senior staff of the University through a stratified random sampling technique. The questionnaire was the main instrument used to collect the data. 292 respondents answered the questionnaires, which represented 96.68% of the responses rate. The analysis of data was done using the Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS). The dependent variable was job satisfaction. The independent variables were promotion, reward, training and development, and supervision. Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationships among the variables, and the standard multiple regression test was used to determine the level of significance of each determinant of job satisfaction. The results of the analysis show that the following HRM practices- promotion, reward, training and development, and supervision- have a moderate effect on job satisfaction; but supervision and reward have a significant positive effect on employees’ job satisfaction. The study contributed to knowledge in the research endeavor by demonstrating that although HRM practices influence job satisfaction among employees of the University of Cape Coast, promotion does not automatically make all employees enjoy their jobs.

Pada saat ini, banyak sekali tulisan pada iklan pinggir jalan yang ditempel pada bidang melengkung di sepanjang jalan. Tulisan yang digunakan berupa huruf dan angka, dengan berbagai macam background, bentuk dan warna yang diambil di pinggir jalan dengan menggunakan Farey Shape Context. Fitur Farey ini bergantung pada DSS (Digital Straight Line Segment) endpoint dan menggunakan pecahan Augmented Farey sequence. DSS endpoint ini dijadikan sebagai titik fitur atau feature point untuk menemukan shape context dari citra. DSS endpoint tersebut digunakan sebagai acuan bounding box yang akan digunakan sebagai object boundary yang dimana setiap sudutnya merupakan reference point. Untuk melakukan Binning Farey Rank, Augmented Farey Table (AFT) harus dibentuk terlebih dahulu berdasarkan Augmented Farey Sequence yang merupakan pengembangan dari Farey Sequence. Farey Sequence hanya meliputi pecahan dengan pembilang dan penyebut yang positif, sedangkan Augmented Farey Sequence meliputi pecahan dengan pembilang dan penyebut positif serta negatif. Pada penelitian ini digunakan 500 data iklan di pinggir jalan yang melengkung, dimana 70% digunakan sebagai data sample. Dari 70% data sample tersebut didapatkan ribuan karakter berupa huruf dan angka yang dijadikan data sample. Berdasarkan hasil uji coba penelitian yang dilakukan pada 500 Gambar dimana 30% sebagai data testing, maka hasil Farey Shape Context untuk mengenali tulisan berupa huruf dan angka pada iklan pinggir jalan yang melengkung mencapai akurasi benar 74.94% dan salah 25.06%.
Identification of model systems expressing circFAT3
Authors: Smiley Andrea , Tate Meredith , Georgi Sean
Published: March 2022

Recent RNA-seq studies have identified thousands of potential circular RNAs (circRNAs) in a variety of organisms and tissues. While experimental studies have begun to elucidate the biological roles of some circRNAs, the functions of the vast majority are not yet understood. As a first step to determining circRNA function, molecular techniques must be used to verify their expression in suitable model systems. In this study we use PCR and Sanger sequencing to identify model systems in three different organisms (human, chicken, and zebrafish) that each express circFAT3, a 3-kb circular RNA derived from the gene FAT3. We further characterize the expression levels of circFAT3 and its host mRNA during chicken retinal development. Our results suggest that circFAT3 is evolutionarily conserved and shows a dynamic expression pattern that is independent of its linear host mRNA.

Проводится обзор литературно-критических публикаций чеченского прозаика К.Ибрагимова, творчество которого на современном этапе не получило полноценного научного осмысления, что представляется достаточно актуальным для чеченского литературоведения. С целью научно обоснованного определения специфики творческого метода впервые предложена гипотеза о доминировании реалистического метода в комплексе с натуралистическими и символистскими тенденциями. Для подтверждения гипотезы рассмотрены особенности структуры текста, построения системы персонажей и идиостиля писателя, а также способы реализации основной идеи романа «Детский мир».

The paper presents a review of the literary and critical publications of the Chechen prose writer K. Ibragimov, whose work at the present stage has not received a full scientific understanding, which seems quite relevant for Chechen literary criticism. To substantiate scientifically the specifics of the creative method, the hypothesis of the dominance of the realistic method combined with naturalistic and symbolist trends is first proposed. To confirm the hypothesis, the features of the structure of the text, the construction of the character system and the individual style of the writer, as well as ways to implement the main idea of novel "Children's World" are considered.

Выявляются условия возникновения адыго-русского двуязычия в ХIХ веке, его роль в распространении знаний и формировании творчества писателей-просветителей. Определяется развитие двуязычия в ХХ веке, устанавливается значение различных его форм в зарождении адыгских национальных литератур. Опора на сравнительно-типологический метод исследования помогает уточнить основательные положения о связи двуязычия с развитием национальной культуры, что содействует углублению теоретических знаний по филологии. Цель работы - обозначить общие проблемы, связанные с двуязычием и двуязычным творчеством, определить задачи исследования истоков, природы этих явлений, характер их формирования и развития.

The paper examines the conditions for the emergence of Adyghe-Russian bilingualism in the 19th century, its role in the dissemination of knowledge and the formation of the work of writers-enlighteners. The development of bilingualism in the twentieth century is studied, the significance of its various forms in the birth of Adyghe national literature is established. Reliance on the comparative typological method of research helps to clarify the fundamental provisions on the connection of bilingualism with the development of national culture, which contributes to the deepening of theoretical knowledge of philology. The purpose of the work is to outline the common problems associated with bilingualism and bilingual creativity and to determine the tasks of studying the origin, the nature of these phenomena, the nature of their formation and development.

Authors: Гадималиева Айнур Фамиль кызы
Published: March 2022

В статье рассматриваются звуковые параллели и их графические варианты в древних письменных памятниках азербайджанского и турецкого языков. В языке одного памятника встречаются различные версии одних и тех же лексических единиц, или же в разных памятниках одной эпохи одна и та же лексическая единица употребляется в разных вариантах. Цель - выявить фонетические параллели в азербайджанском языке в историческом аспекте на основе языковых материалов XV века. Данный вопрос впервые исследуется, что является очень актуальным для тюркологии и лингвистики в целом. В результате, отмечается, что в литературном языке ХV века параллельность звуков и звукоформ была широко распространена, в связи с чем формирование современного литературного языка прошло через сложный эволюционный процесс.

This paper examines the sound parallels and their graphic variants in the ancient written monuments of the Azerbaijani and Turkish languages. In the language of one monument, there are different versions of the same lexical units, or in different monuments of the same era, the same lexical unit is used in different versions. The purpose of this article is to identify phonetic parallels in the Azerbaijani language in the historical aspect based on the linguistic materials of the 15 century. The novelty of this research is that these issues are investigating for the first time within the framework of this publication, which is very relevant for Turkology and linguistics in general. Summing up, it is noted that in the literary language of the 15 century, the parallelism of sounds and sound forms was widespread, as a result of which the formation of the modern literary language went through a complex evolutionary process.
