Effects of Nontraditional Division III Lacrosse Participation on Movement Pattern Quality and Dynamic Postural Control
Authors: Rosenborough Christopher , Collins Sean M. , Smith Edward , Bowman Thomas G
Published: April 2024

Background/Purpose

No studies have observed the effects of a collegiate lacrosse season on movement pattern quality, dynamic postural control, or the accuracy of athletes’ perceived movement pattern quality. The purpose was to examine the effects of a nontraditional fall season on movement pattern quality, perceived movement pattern quality, and dynamic postural control in collegiate lacrosse athletes.

Design

Cross-sectional laboratory study.

Methods

Fifty men’s (age=19.38±1.24 years, height=182.63±6.16 cm, mass=82.37±8.46 kg) and 22 women’s (age=19.68±1.17 years, height=165.10±6.88 cm, mass=64.09±8.72 kg) lacrosse players were recruited. Outcome measures included individual Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) scores, self-reported perceived movement pattern quality scores, lower and upper extremity Y-Balance Test (YBT) measurements, and active dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) before the start and again at the end of the fall lacrosse season. Pre- and post-season measurements were assessed using paired t-tests and chi-squared analyses.

Results

FMS™ composite scores did not significantly change from preseason to postseason for males (p=0.74) or females (p=0.07). Male perceived movement pattern quality was significantly higher than measured for 10 of 12 movements (p<0.05). Female perceived movement pattern quality was significantly higher than measured for four of 12 movements (p<0.05). Asymmetry frequency significantly increased in males in the hurdle step from two individuals to nine ( χ21=25.52, p<0.01), inline lunge from 10 to 20 ( χ21=12.50, p<0.01), and shoulder mobility from 4 to 21 ( χ21=78.53, p<0.01). Asymmetries in male athletes significantly decreased in the active straight leg raise from 26 to 8 ( χ21=25.96, p<0.01). YBT composite scores increased in males for the right leg (p=0.001) and left leg (p<0.03). Right dorsiflexion ROM (p<0.001) and left dorsiflexion ROM (p<0.001) significantly decreased in males from preseason to postseason. YBT scores for the right leg significantly increased in females from preseason to postseason (p=0.01). YBT scores for females for the right arm significantly increased from preseason to postseason (p=0.045).

Conclusions

A 5-week season may not change overall movement pattern quality of men’s or women’s lacrosse players, but some individual movement scores diminished. Athletes may overestimate self-reported movement pattern quality and are therefore unlikely to individually address movement deficits. Male dynamic postural control may change throughout a season, resulting in a potential increased risk of injury later in the season due to compensatory patterns or changes in mobility, proprioception, or balance.

Muscle Activations of the Upper Extremity and Core during Elevation and Rotational Movements in Overhead Throwing Athletes
Authors: Owens Liam P , Khaiyat Omid , Coyles Ginny
Published: April 2024

Background

A strong body of literature has been published outlining muscle activity differences during sports performance in groups of overhead athletes. However, there are limited studies that have directly compared the muscle activity in overhead athletes with and without history of shoulder injury during functional everyday tasks.

Purpose

This study aimed to identify muscle activities across fourteen upper extremity and core muscles during three functional everyday movements in athletes with and without history of shoulder injury.

Study Design

Cross-Sectional Study

Methods

Thirty-two male overhead throwing athletes (fifteen healthy and seventeen injured) were recruited and completed three everyday functional movements of high elevation, low elevation, and rotation, using their dominant arm to move an object between two fixed positions. Electromyography (EMG) was recorded for fourteen muscles including: biceps brachii, deltoids (anterior, medial, and posterior), trapezius (upper and lower), pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior, infraspinatus, external obliques, and gluteus maximus (all surface electrodes) and supraspinatus (fine wire electrode). Mixed model repeated measures ANOVA and post-hoc analysis assessed mean muscle activity (%MVC) between groups and each movement phase.

Results

Upper trapezius elicited higher mean activity in healthy athletes during both phases of the arm rotation task (p < 0.05). No differences between groups were evident for arm elevation tasks. Qualitative analysis of muscle patterns during functional tasks reflected a temporal shift in muscle activation timings and magnitudes between athlete groups, suggesting potential compensatory mechanisms in injured athletes.

Conclusion

Injured overhead athletes appear to utilize other upper limb and shoulder girdle muscles to compensate for lower upper trapezius activity during functional everyday tasks.

The growing incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in higher education (HE) has led to the use of indicators that allow the real impact of these tools to be identified in the teaching and learning process. In this sense, this study developed a bibliometric review on the acceptance of AI technologies in HE, providing an analysis of indicators on scientific production, with the aim of identifying prevalent thematic areas and knowledge gaps. From a methodological point of view, this study was carried out using a quantitative approach with a descriptive level, utilising 56 publications drawn from the Scopus database. The results show a sustained evolution with a growing trend in scientific production since 2021. The most predominant thematic area is evaluation of the acceptance of AI technologies in HE, making greater use of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Acceptance and Use of Technology theory (UTAUT). Therefore, it was concluded that the existing literature shows a sustained interest in investigating the acceptance of AI technologies due to the importance of determining the impact generated by their applications in different contexts or scenarios of the reality of HE in regard to the extent that AI technology is developed. This is because, on some occasions, its application does not necessarily lead to meeting the expectations raised in the teaching and learning processes. Finally, the gaps that need to be addressed in future research are "cultural and contextual diversity in AI acceptance", "emerging models of AI acceptance", and "critical elements influencing the acceptance of AI technologies", in HE.

Authors: Sobari Teti , Mulyadi Yadi , Wikanengsih Wikanengsih , Mustika Ika
Published: April 2024

Most high school students are able to write arguments. However, most students are still unable to develop complex writing. The purpose of this research was to investigate the students' argumentative writing which displays various linguistic features and cognitive characteristics, and to investigate the conjunctions that fall into several categories (addition, opposition, causal, and time), which are markers of the complexity of the students' reasoning. The method used in this research was factorial analysis because it aimed to determine the students' linguistic and cognitive features in relation to improving the quality of the students' argumentative writing. The sample in this study was 350 high school students from grades 10 to 12. Analysis was carried out on the students' written argumentative essays which were written in the context of formal or academic language, transcribed and given an analysis code. The research findings show that students are able to demonstrate complex and high-level reasoning according to their use of conjunctions in their essays. The use of conjunctions based on class is relatively low in terms of the number of addition, contradiction, causal, and temporal conjunctions in each essay. The interclass correlation analysis shows that the essay length variable is in a stable condition, while student variability is higher in relation to the use of argument types and conjunctions. Based on the results following the testing of the predictability of conjunction use on argument sophistication, it was found that conflicting conjunctions contributed positively to argument sophistication apart from other variables (essay length, topic, gender, and student socioeconomic status). Contradictory conjunctions are the most complex conjunctions used by students using the integrative perspective. These conjunctions are also used to control the length and type of essay topic. Conjunctions can also contribute to the sophistication of the students' argumentative essays.

Desvincular-se de empresas que atuam como intermediárias dos criadores com consumidores, principalmente, quando essas corporações ativamente procuram dificultar a quebra desses vínculos, é um grande desafio para escritores, desenhistas e outros criadores. Isso acontece dentro da indústria editorial, que fica com direitos e maior parte do lucro das obras criadas por escritores. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma ferramenta editorial online, com características de serviços como Twitch e Youtube, fornecendo ao criador uma viável alternativa para publicação de suas obras. Na fundamentação teórica são apresentados alguns conceitos, como editora, plataforma de compartilhamento de conteúdo e auto publicação, que sustentam a pesquisa, os quais são ancorados em práticas de pesquisas apresentadas em um conjunto de trabalhos relacionados. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foi realizada uma pesquisa experimental, que consistiu no desenvolvimento do aplicativo Web, com o intuito de fornecer uma oportunidade de auto publicação e edição de obras, para que a independência de editoras corporativas seja mais bem atingida pelos autores. Para a concretização desse objetivo foram utilizadas as tecnologias React e Django, estruturadas na linguagem de programação JavaScript e Python, o SGBD PostgreSQL e o serviço de armazenamento de dados da Amazon. Assim, com a documentação, apresentação e análise dos dados, os resultados mostraram a viabilidade de um sistema editorial com fundamentos na liberdade do criador e aumento de sua independência na indústria.

The problem of pedagogical discourse as a speech behavior form is a cutting-edge linguistic area. Within its framework, it is necessary to identify some lexical and semantic components that form a certain rhetorical and pedagogical ideal. To date, such studies are carried out manually. This paper describes the automatic study of pedagogical discourse. As part of the experiment, statistically significant discourse markers and patterns are extracted from the corpus of teachers’ speeches, such markers characterizing both general trends in teaching methods and idiostylistic characteristics of a particular teacher. The results of the marker analysis make it possible to form a preliminary list of speech patterns that beginner teachers can use.
Implementing Flipped Classroom in the Digital Learning Environment

Published: April 2024

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020, all schools faced unpredictable challenges, and alternative solutions were needed to optimize the functioning of the educational process. One of these was the implementation of the “flipped classroom” in teaching practice. This idea gave rise to the concept of the online flipped classroom, which allows students to continue their educational work in a high-quality, engaging, and attractive way, even outside the physical classroom. Furthermore, the online flipped classroom has proven to be as effective as the traditional one, mainly because it promotes students’ self-directed learning, activity, motivation, collaboration, and successful interactions due to its flexible structure. The study provides a theoretical insight into the application of this teaching method in the period of distance learning and analyzes its advantages and challenges. The most common challenges were found to be difficult access to the Internet and thus to learning materials, the lack of digital skills of teachers, the time and effort required to create videos, the design of a creative learning environment, and the facilitation of different types of activities and teaching materials, which contribute significantly to students’ motivation to learn under exceptional circumstances. Students’ free access to computer equipment and internet connections from home played a key role. Therefore, the flipped classroom approach requires government investment in building/upgrading appropriate information and communication infrastructure, additional teacher commitment, and investment in teachers’ professional development.
Academic Stress and Academic Motivation of Students with Different Levels of Neuroticism
Authors:   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Kazan, Russia, Valiullina Marina
Published: April 2024

The current study allowed us to conduct a comparative analysis of the significance of various stress factors assessed by students with different levels of neuroticism and perceived by them as obstacles in the learning process. The study design includes the comparative analysis of two groups of students. We analyzed the relationships between indicators of subjectively assessed intensity of response to academic stress-factors and characteristics of academic motivation among these groups of students. We used the following questionnaires that allow respondents to assess the academic stress factors intensity: “Academic Motivation Scales” (Gordeeva, Sychev and Osin), “Eysenck Personality Inventory” (EPI). The study involved 156 people. It was found out that students with different levels of neuroticism have no significant difference in the severity of various types of academic motivation. But, at the same time, there are a number of differences in assessing the intensity of academic stress under the influence of certain stress factors. There are also differences in the structure of relationships between indicators of academic motivation and stress factors, depending on the emotional stability of the respondents. The results of the study can be useful for creating individual-oriented (taking into account the level of neuroticism) programs of psychological and pedagogical assistance to students striving for high-quality knowledge assimilation and improving their academic performance. On the basis of the obtained data, we can speak about the necessity to form a balance between the experience of the handling stress intensity, which arises as a result of a subjective assessment of the certain phenomena stressfulness during the study process, and the various types of academic motivation, which contribute to the development of professional competencies.

Published: April 2024

The article actualizes the problem of socio-cultural and ethnic identity of the Tatar people and the need to cherish and preserve the traditions of the Tatar family. The authors propose to discuss the practical aspects of the development of ethnic processes and the main directions of increasing the importance of ethnic characteristics in the humanization of social relations and the mission of ethnic positions in human life. Analysis of the literature on the problems of ethnic identity, detailing the characteristic desire of different peoples to support and preserve their own identity, determine both the possibility and the need to emphasize the inimitability and uniqueness of social and humanistic practices of their ethnoculture, taking into account the growth of understanding and comprehension of belonging to their ethnos, i.e. national consciousness and ethnic community.

The data of an empirical study obtained on the basis of a survey of 120 students of Balashov Institute of Saratov State University enrolled in the areas of training of bachelors which are in the enlarged group of areas and specialities ‘Education and Pedagogical Sciences’ are presented. In the course of an empirical study, an author's questionnaire was applied aimed at identifying students' awareness of mentoring as one of the types of mentoring activities in the pedagogical field. The following has been found. Students are aware of the role of mentoring in the pedagogical process to varying degrees. The vast majority of students would like to expand the experience of mentoring interaction. Students consider responsibility, pedagogical competence, free communication skills, pedagogical tact, the perception of the equivalence of students, organizational skills, flexibility of thinking and self-acceptance as the most important characteristics of ‘mentoring’. It is concluded that students’ ideas of mentoring are divided into four types: ‘realistic-positive’, ‘ignorant-optimistic’, ‘ignorant-cautious’, ‘realistic-indifferent’. The data obtained indicate an insufficiently complete understanding of students about the role of mentoring in the pedagogical process. The necessity of developing and introducing into the educational process of universities a practice-oriented programme that reveals the essence of mentoring in the format of additional education courses is emphasized.

Within the context of agricultural ecosystems, understanding the nutritional physiology of insects and their host plant preferences is essential for optimizing pest management strategies and improving crop production. In this study, we conducted an in-depth examination of the nutritional physiology of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the context of different host plants, specifically wheat varieties, in comparison to maize. Our investigation focused on key parameters, including the Relative Consumption Rate (RCR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), and Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food (ECI) of S. frugiperda fed on different wheat varieties including: Dilkash-20, Fakhar-E-Bhakkar-17, Subhani-21, Faisalabad-08, and Akbar-19 in comparison to maize (NK-6654). The results revealed that S. frugiperda displayed a significantly (P < 0.05) higher RCR (8.08 g/g/day), RGR (1.50 g/g/day), and ECI (25.1 %) when feeding on maize, followed by Fakhar-E-Bhakkar-17 (RCR =7.00 g/g/day, RGR =1.24 g/g/day and ECI =21.4 %) and Akbar-19 (RCR = 6.06 g/g/day, RGR = 1.04 g/g/day and ECI =19.7 %) wheat varieties after 1 week of feeding. The lowest values of all these nutritional parameters were recorded on the Dilkash-20 variety (RCR = 2.98 g/g/day, RGR = 0.38 g/g/day, and ECI = 7.94 %). These findings offer valuable insights into the nutritional interactions between S. frugiperda and the host plants, shedding light on potential implications for pest management strategies and crop patterns.

The dry forest ecosystem is characterized by their rich biodiversity and adaptations to arid conditions. This study focused on determining the composition and structure of the vegetation, examining species interactions, and estimating carbon stored in its aboveground biomass (AGB) using an allometric equation proposed for mixed dry forests. We used 10 plots of 10 x 20 m to record data on trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 5 cm. Taxonomic classification was initially obtained using experts and specialized databases. Ecological importance was assessed through the Importance Value Index (IVI), and species association was determined using the Indicator Value Index (IndVal%). We identified 148 individuals of 21 species, 19 genera, and 12 families in four groups with strong associations, with C. Trischistandra standing out for its high IVI. The Kruskal-Wallis test did not show significant differences in carbon stored between plots, and was estimated a storage potential of 70.47 Mg C ha-1. This research highlights the importance of key species in carbon capture, which is crucial for mitigating climate change. Effective management of these species could have a positive impact on the conservation of the dry forest ecosystem and the fight against global warming. This analysis provides a deep understanding of the structure of this ecosystem.

Published: April 2024

This paper introduces the Distributed Utility Function Algorithm (D-AFU) as a notable progression in managing and optimizing network traffic within distributed settings. Based on the utility function principle, D-AFU dynamically adjusts data rate in response to ever-changing network demands, with optimal performance and a higher user experience. Contrary to the centralized model, D-AFU employs a distributed, scalable, and resilient against failures and system overloads mechanism. Its efficiency is validated using the NS-3 simulator. Three main metrics were used: the data rate allocation, utility per session, and fairness (quantified by the Gini coefficient). D-AFU displays exceptional performance and low latency, particularly vital for real-time applications with high Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.
