НАРОДЫ ДРЕВНЕГО КАВКАЗА В УЧЕНИИ ОРИЕНТАЛИСТА XIX ВЕКА КАРЛА ФРИДРИХА НОЙМАНА
Authors: А.М. АБАЕВА
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматривается взгляд Карла Фридриха Ноймана на этническую картину древнего Кавказа и его подход к систематизации и классификации кавказских племен. Материалом для данного исследования послужил очерк из труда ученого Россия и черкесы под названием Эпизоды из древнейшей истории черкесов , изданный в 1840 году в Германии. Данный труд был переведен лишь частично, поэтому он недостаточно изучен представителями российского кавказоведения. Целью данного исследования является введение в научный оборот нового источника по истории этнографии народов Кавказа, а также ознакомление с содержащихся в нем материалов.

The article considers the view of Karl Friedrich Neumann on the ethnic picture of the ancient Caucasus and its approach to the systematization and classification of Caucasian tribes. The material for this study was an essay from the work of the scientist Russia and the Circassians, entitled Episodes from the Ancient History of the Circassians, published in 1840 in Germany. This work was only partially translated, so it has not been sufficiently studied by representatives of the Russian Caucasus. The purpose of this study is to introduce into scientific circulation a new source on the history of ethnography of the peoples of the Caucasus, as well as familiarization with the materials contained in it.

ШТРИХИ К ПОРТРЕТУ М.М. ИППОЛИТОВА-ИВАНОВА
Authors: М. РОМАЩУК И
Published: December 2024

В предлагаемой статье автор раскрывает неизвестные ранее материалы из «запасника» творческого наследия М.М. Ипполитова-Иванова. Их изучение дало возможность выявить ряд перспективных идей композитора и приблизиться к творческой лаборатории мастера. Впервые рассмотрены его ученические работы в классе Н.А. Римского-Корсакова. Показано, как формировался идиостиль Ипполитова-Иванова, как проявлялось отношение к слову в музыке, к программным композициям. Представлены либретто неосуществленных опер, которые открывали пути к сочинениям с инонациональными сюжетами («Азра», «Оле из Нордланда», «Последняя баррикада»), к образам русского Востока (симфонические сюиты «Кавказские эскизы», «Иверия», музыкальные картины «Из песен Оссиана»). Раскрыты страницы неопубликованных статей-воспоминаний Ипполитова-Иванова об А.Н. Островском, который существенно дополнил либретто первой оперы композитора «Руфь» и намеревался создать текст к «народной опере» «Пережница»; и о мимолетных встречах с И.С...

In the proposed article, the author reveals previously unknown materials from the "storehouse" of the creative heritage of M.M. Ippolitov-Ivanov. Their study made it possible to identify a number of promising ideas of the composer and get closer to the creative laboratory of the master. His student works in the class of N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov are considered for the rst time. It is shown how the idiostyle of Ippolitov-Ivanov was formed, how the attitude to the word in music, to program compositions was manifested. The librettos of unrealized operas are presented, which opened the way to compositions with foreign subjects ("Azra", "Ole from Nordland", "The Last Barricade"), to images of the Russian East (symphonic suites "Caucasian Sketches", "Iveria", musical paintings "From the songs of Ossian"). The pages of unpublished articles-memoirs of Ippolitov-Ivanov about A.N. Ostrovsky, who signi cantly supplemented the libretto of the composer's rst opera "Ruth" and intended to create a text for the "folk opera" "The mill "; and about eeting meetings with I.S...

МУЗЫКА ДАОССКОЙ ШКОЛЫ ЦЮАНЬЧЖЭНЬ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ТРАДИЦИОННОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ КИТАЯ
Authors: ЯН П ЯН П
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена музыкальному феномену даосской школы Цюаньчжэнь («Школы совершенной истины»), рассмотренному в контексте китайской традиционной культуры. Ритуальная практика Цюаньчжэнь представлена сквозь призму взаимодействия двух противоположных тенденций: центростремительной силы, связанной с сохранением и неизменным воспроизведением канонического круга священных напевов в стенах монастырей, и центробежной силы, обусловленной влиянием локального фольклора страны на внешние ритуалы, предназначенные для прихожан. Разнонаправленные процессы показаны на примере «Стиха просветления» из сборника «Главные стихи Цюаньчжэнь». Взаимодействие музыки «Школы совершенной истины» с китайской традиционной культурой осуществляется на разных уровнях: на уровне выбора инструментария, организации метро-темпов баньши, формирования жанрово-стилевого спектра ритуальных песнопений.

Cangzhou Normal University (People's Republic of China), 061000, Hebei Province, Cangzhou, street of Guofengnan, the house 16 The article is devoted to the musical phenomenon of the Taoist school Quanzhen (“School of Perfect Truth”), considered in the context of Chinese traditional culture. The ritual practice of Quanzhen is presented through the prism of the interaction of two opposing tendencies: a centripetal force associated with the preservation and unchanging reproduction of the canonical circle of sacred chants within the walls of monasteries, and a centrifugal force due to the in uence of the country's local folklore on external rituals intended for the laity. Multidirectional processes are shown on the example of the “Verse of Enlightenment” from the collection “The Main Poems of Quanzhen”. The interaction of the music of the “School of Perfect Truth” with Chinese traditional culture is carried out at different levels: at the level of the choice of instruments, the organization of the banshi metro-tempo, the formation of the genre-style spectrum of ritual chants.

A LACANIAN ANALYSIS OF ORHAN PAMUK’S ‘THE RED-HAIRED WOMAN’
Authors: Salih Huda
Published: December 2024

Orhan Pamuk's novel The Red Haired Woman delves into the complexities of identity desire and the unconscious mind through the character of Cem. By employing a Lacanian analysis, this qualitative research paper aims to explore how Cem's psyche is shaped by the interplay between the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real. Drawing from Lacanian concepts such as the mirror stage castration anxiety and the Oedipus complex, this paper sheds light on the underlying psychological factors influencing Cem's actions and relationships within the novel. By delving into these Lacanian concepts we gain a deeper understanding of Cem's character and the overall themes explored in Orhan Pamuk's novel. The novel invites the readers to contemplate the intricacies of the human psyche and the perpetual pursuit of identity and desire in the face of societal constraints. Pamuk’s narrative, set against the backdrop of Turkey’s socio-political landscape, intricately weaves together themes of fatherhood, patricide, and the search for meaning.  By unraveling the symbolic and imaginary dimensions of the narrative, this study illuminates the novel's deeper layers of meaning. It offers insights into the human condition as portrayed through Pamuk’s literary lens. Pamuk intricately intertwines themes of patricide, fatherhood, and existential quest, providing fertile ground for a Lacanian reading.
Injury and Illness Trends in the National Hockey League Following an Abrupt Cessation of Play
Authors: Pinkoski Adam M , Davies Matthew , Sommerfeldt Mark , Eurich Dean T , Voaklander Don
Published: December 2024

Background

The National Hockey League (NHL) saw an unprecedented disruption to the competitive calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020. Returning to play following an abrupt cessation of activity is a known risk factor for athletes.

Purpose

To analyze the occurrence and severity of events (injury and illness) in the NHL and to understand any differences in occurrence and severity between pre-pandemic seasons and seasons that immediately followed.

Study Design

Descriptive Epidemiology Study

Methods

Using a retrospective cohort inclusive of all players on active rosters in the NHL between 2016-2023, public access injury and illness data were collected. Outcome measures included event incidence, period prevalence, and severity (mean days lost; MDL), as well as incidence rate ratio (IRR) comparing pre- and post-pandemic seasons.

Results

IRR for illness peaked in December 2021 (IRR = 62.46; 95% CI 13.65 to 285.91). Incidence of upper body injuries was significantly higher in 2020-21 (IRR = 1.70, p = 0.001) and 2021-22 (IRR = 1.40, p = 0.044) compared to pre-pandemic seasons (Incidence = 17.58 injuries / 1000 player-hours). Injury incidence increased as the 2022-23 season progressed (p = 0.004); injury incidence was stable across all other seasons. Mean days lost (MDL) to injury was higher in 2020-21 (MDL = 18.12, p < 0.001), 2021-22 (MDL = 18.46, p = 0.015), and 2022-23 (MDL = 18.12, p < 0.001) compared to pre-pandemic seasons (MDL = 17.34).

Conclusion

Incidence of upper body injuries increased in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 NHL regular seasons while it decreased significantly in the 2022-23 regular season compared with the four pre-pandemic seasons. This suggests a need to examine if modifiable risk factors exist for determining optimal return to play strategies following an abrupt cessation of play.

Isokinetic Dynamometry for External and Internal Rotation Shoulder Strength in Youth Athletes: A Scoping Review
Authors: Leahy Ian , Florkiewicz Erin , Shotwell Mary P.
Published: December 2024

Background

Accurately measuring shoulder strength in overhead athletes is critical, as sufficient strength is essential for safe and sustained performance during repetitive athletic movements. Isokinetic dynamometry (ID) offers dynamic strength assessments that surpass the capabilities of static methods, such as manual muscle testing and handheld dynamometry. The dynamic assessment provided by ID may enhance upper extremity evaluation, aiding in the prediction of injury risk and the determination of return-to-sport criteria for overhead athletes.

Purpose

The purpose of this review was to examine the existing literature concerning the application of isokinetic shoulder strength testing in rehabilitation and clinical decision-making processes among youth athletes who perform repetitive overhead activities.

Study Design

Scoping review

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and EBSCO Host databases, covering publications from 2000-2024. Search terms included “isokinetic dynamometry,” “shoulder,” and “youth athlete.” Inclusion criteria focused on youth athletes (<18 years) engaged in overhead sports, excluding those with neurological conditions or those designated as college or professional athletes. The PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed.

Results

A total of 23 articles met the inclusion criteria. Volleyball and swimming were the most studied sports, with the most common testing position being the seated 90/90 position. Variations in testing speeds and outcome measures, such as peak torque and external rotation (ER) ratios, were identified.

Conclusions

Isokinetic dynamometry is a valuable tool for assessing shoulder strength in youth overhead athletes. It provides critical insights into muscle strength dynamics, aiding in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Further research is needed to optimize strength assessment protocols and enhance clinical decision-making for safe return-to-sport practices.
Introduction of the ‘Blue Card’ Concussion Policy to Semi-Elite Australian Football: Medical Staff Experiences and Perceptions
Authors: Msando Jacob R , Cowen Gill , Harris Sarah A , Kirkham Troy , Murphy Myles C
Published: December 2024

Background

The Western Australian Football League (WAFL) introduced a new umpire driven ‘blue-card rule’ for concussion, but its benefit to the sports medicine team is unknown.

Purpose

To determine the experiences and perceptions of medical staff within the 2022-2023 Men’s and Women’s WAFL competitions following the introduction of the ‘blue-card rule’.

Study Design

Cross-sectional study.

Method

An online survey was delivered through Qualtrics to all WAFL medical staff (doctors, physiotherapists, head trainers). The survey contained four sections (demographics, concussion knowledge, concussion exposure and blue-card perceptions) with closed and multiple-answer questions. Standard methods for reporting descriptive data were applied, including mean ± standard deviation (SD) and proportions (%). Between-group differences were assessed using chi-square tests, and significance was accepted at p <0.05.

Results

Response rate was 48% (n=7 doctors, n=12 physiotherapists, n=12 head trainers). Most staff (70%) did not agree that the ‘blue-card rule’ was a helpful concussion policy or should remain within the WAFL. Staff also felt umpires are not qualified to identify suspected concussions on-field (67%). Over two-thirds of medical staff feel the Football Commission needs to provide education about concussion policies before the commencement of each season. Only 33% of medical staff felt completely confident in delivering a sideline assessment, and 17% felt completely confident in their diagnostic capabilities. Relationships between medical and other staff were not substantially impacted by the ‘blue-card rule’.

Conclusions

Medical staff within the WAFL reported the ‘blue-card rule’ as an ineffective concussion identification tool and did not support its continued use for future WAFL seasons. Staff suggested that the Football Commission needs to provide more education on concussion policies before the commencement of each season.

Let´s Swing it –The Interaction Between Participation-Related Shoulder Load and Pre-season Trunk Rotation Power on Shoulder Problems in Male Handball Players
Authors: Arnason Kari , Agustsson Atli , Fredriksen Hilde , Rafnsson Elis Thor , Briem Kristin
Published: December 2024

Background

Little is known about the influence of kinetic chain strength and power on shoulder problems in handball players or the impact of participation-related shoulder load (PSL) during a season. Suboptimal activity of the kinetic chain during throwing might make the shoulder more vulnerable.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess 1) the association between pre-season measurements and shoulder problems among handball players and 2) whether pre-season strength and power influence the association between PSL and severity of shoulder problems.

Study Design

Prospective observational cohort study.

Methods

Pre-season measurements were done using the Isometric mid-thigh pull for lower body strength, a seated test for trunk rotation power (TRP) and isometric testing of external (ER) and internal rotation shoulder strength on 42 male players. Shoulder problems (prevalence, substantial prevalence, and severity score) were documented weekly through a season (31 weeks) with The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Questionnaire (OSTRC-O2) and PSL with the modified Borg rate of perceived exertion scale. Spearman´s correlation coefficient was applied to examine the association within the first aim, while a mixed model ANOVA was conducted to analyze the second aim.

Results

A weak and negative correlation (rs=-0.34) was found between pre-season ER strength and the individual prevalence of shoulder problems (p=0.029). A main effect was found between PSL and the OSTRC-O2 severity score (p=<0.001) with higher severity scores observed with increased PSL. A significant interaction was found between PSL and pre-season TRP regarding their influence on the OSTRC-02 severity score (p=0.017). With higher PSL, a higher severity score was observed among players with pre-season TRP more than one standard deviation below the group’s mean.

Conclusions

The results indicate that low TRP may make the throwing shoulder more vulnerable to an increase in load. Looking beyond shoulder strength and load may therefore be important.

Oh, My Quad: A Clinical Commentary And Evidence-Based Framework for the Rehabilitation of Quadriceps Size and Strength after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Authors: Solie Braidy , Carlson Mitchell , Doney Christopher , Kiely Michael , LaPrade Robert
Published: December 2024

Quadriceps weakness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a well-known phenomenon, with more persistent quadriceps weakness observed after ACLR with a bone-patellar tendon-bone or quadriceps tendon autograft than with a hamstring tendon autograft. Longstanding quadriceps weakness after ACLR has been associated with suboptimal postoperative outcomes and the progression of radiographic knee osteoarthritis, making the recovery of quadriceps size and strength a key component of ACLR rehabilitation. However, few articles have been written for the specific purpose of optimizing quadriceps size and strength after ACLR. Therefore, the purpose of this review article is to integrate the existing quadriceps muscle basic science and strength training literature into a best-evidence synthesis of exercise methodologies for restoring quadriceps size and strength after ACLR, as well as outline an evidence-informed quadriceps load-progression for recovering the knee’s capacity to manage the force-profiles associated with high-demand physical activity.

Neurocognitive and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Techniques after ACL injury - Part 2: Maximizing Performance in the Advanced Return to Sport Phase
Authors: Thomas Zachary M. , Lupowitz Lewis , Ivey Morgan , Wilk Kevin E.
Published: December 2024

Background

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reinjury rates are on the rise, despite improved surgical techniques and prevention programs. ACL injuries also lead to a variety of neuroplastic and neuromuscular alterations. Emerging research highlights the importance of addressing neurocognitive deficits that can persist after injury including altered proprioception, impaired motor control, muscle recruitment and heightened reliance on visual feedback. This suggests a shift from subconscious movement, to movements that require increased volitional control, which may contribute to increased risk of re-injury and thus impede return to sport.

Clinical Question

Given the neurophysiological changes associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that persistent into the late stages of rehabilitation, does the integration of neurocognitive training into mid to late stage rehabilitation protocols improve functional outcomes and reduce the risk of re-injury following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) in athletes?

Purpose

The purpose of Part 2 of this clinical commentary is to offer strategies to implement neurocognitive training elements into the traditional ACLR rehabilitation (in weeks 9+) and review updated testing metrics that may better discern an athletes readiness to return to competition. A comprehensive rehabilitation framework incorporating both physical and neurocognitive components is proposed, aiming to improve both long-term outcomes and return to sport testing, as well as diminishing re-injury risk.

Conclusion

Updates to the traditional rehabilitation approach post ACLR, that include increased emphasis on neuroplastic, cognitive, and visual-motor capabilities exist. These help prepare athletes for the unpredictable and chaotic nature of the sporting environment and may facilitate a more effective return to sport for athletes, potentially mitigating the risk of re-injury.

Comparison of colour properties in american walnut (Juglans nigra) wood coated with different surface finishes
Authors: Ayata Ümit
Published: December 2024

In this research, the colour characteristics [hue (ho) angle, yellow (b*) colour tone, lightness (L*), red (a*) colour tone, chroma (C*), ∆E*, ∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b*, ∆C*, and ∆H*] of surfaces treated with three distinct types of coatings [solvent-based yacht varnish, which has high hardness and is highly resistant to water, a waxy varnish formulated for interior and exterior wood coatings, consisting of a mixture of natural oils, waxes, and resins, and matte-glossy, solvent-based, acrylic resin-based stone varnish)] on American walnut (Juglans nigra L.) wood were examined and compared. When all types of varnishes are applied to wooden surfaces, decreases in b*, C*, ho, and L* values were observed, while increases in a* values were detected. Reviewing the ∆E* values, 13.59 was identified for stone, 16.62 for yacht, and 12.40 for waxy varnish. Upon examination of the ∆H* values, they were determined as 4.72 for stone, 5.06 for yacht, and 3.42 for waxy varnish. The highest values for the parameters L*, b*, C*, and ho, and the lowest value for a*, were determined on the control experimental samples (without any varnish application). In the study, it was observed that the coating types, each with different chemical compositions, yielded different results.

Published: December 2024

V raziskavi je bil proučen vpliv plazemske obdelave površine na lepljenje bukovine s konstrukcijskim enokomponentnim poliuretanskim lepilom. Uporabljen je bil les navadne bukve (Fagus sylvatica L.) brez obarvanja in les bukve z rdečim srcem, učinkovitost lepilnih spojev pa je bila ovrednotena s testiranjem strižne trdnosti in delaminacije v skladu s standardom SIST EN 14080:2013. Rezultati so pokazali, da je plazemska obdelava izboljšala omočljivost površine, vendar ni prispevala k izboljšanju kakovosti lepilnih spojev. Pri bukovini z rdečim srcem je bila ugotovljena višja stopnja loma po lesu, pri čemer pa so bile strižne trdnosti lepilnega spoja nižje. Z uporabo poliuretanskega lepila pri lepljenju bukovine smo v večini primerov dosegli zahteve standarda glede strižne trdnosti lepilnega spoja, vendar pa lepilni spoji niso dosegli zahtev standarda za delaminacijo lepilnih spojev. Raziskava ni pokazala večjih razlik med lepljenjem bukovine brez obarvanj in bukovine z rdečim srcem.
Experimental Analysis of Dynamic Response and Stability of Capsized Tugboat Under Varied Wave Conditions
Authors: Youn Donghyup , Jang Jae Wook , Kim Jung Hwi
Published: December 2024

Tugboats are critical for maneuvering large vessels and conducting maritime operations, but their vulnerability to capsizing under severe conditions is not completely understood. This study experimentally analyzed the dynamic response of a capsized Buccaneer tugboat under various wave conditions to address this knowledge gap. The heave, pitch, and roll motions of a tugboat were examined under different sea states and wave encounter angles using a scaled-down model (1/23.35) in an ocean engineering basin. The results showed that heave motion maintains an almost constant significant period, with higher energy density at higher sea states. Pitch motion at the bow lengthened with increasing sea state, and an increased energy density was observed, particularly under stern waves, while the stern showed less pronounced pitch motion. Roll motion displayed two significant periods, with higher energy density in longer periods at the stern from sea state 4 onwards. These findings underscore the importance of considering heave, pitch, and roll motions in maritime accident response strategies, particularly under stern wave conditions, and provide valuable insights for improving rescue operations and safety measures for capsized vessels.
The Interrelation between Formal and Informal Mechanisms of the Exercise of Power in Modern Kazakhstan
Authors: Osinina D. D.
Published: December 2024

In modern political studies devoted to the analysis of intra-elite alignments, differentiation of the mechanisms of the exercise of power into formal and informal appears more and more often. The main reason for this process is real politics, which can be influenced by a limited number of actors. Therefore, the question is: can people with formal status always influence decision-making processes, or only a small group of actors can influence the rest of the political class and make political decisions. The author has taken the Republic of Kazakhstan as an example to reveal the interrelation between formal and informal mechanisms of the exercise of power.
