Effectiveness of two different recovery process on blood lactate removal pattern of soccer players
Authors: Katoch Rupali , Farooque SM , Dhar Krishnendu , Das Prasanta Kumar
Published: February 2025

Background and Study Aim. Soccer is a high-intensity intermittent sport that requires players to alternate between explosive activity and recovery. This often leads to significant blood lactate accumulation, a by-product of anaerobic metabolism, which can impair performance by inducing muscular fatigue and reducing the ability to sustain optimal effort. This study aimed to examine the effect of two different recovery processes on the blood lactate removal pattern of soccer players in Tripura.
Material and Methods. Ten male junior national soccer players from Tripura were purposively selected for the study. Participants performed graded exercise on a treadmill, followed by either active or passive recovery on two separate days. Blood samples were collected before exercise, after 10 minutes of graded exercise, and after five minutes of treadmill running at 90% intensity. Additional samples were taken immediately after five minutes of active or passive recovery and at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes of rest. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test, with the level of significance set at 0.05.
Results. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in blood lactate removal between active and passive recovery (P<0.05). Active recovery led to peak removal at the 5th and 20th minutes, while passive recovery showed maxima at the 10th and 40th minutes. Neither method restored blood lactate to baseline within one hour. Active recovery facilitated the highest lactate removal between phases III-IV (28.44%) and V-VI (28.04%), while passive recovery peaked at 23% between phases IV-V. After 60 minutes, lactate clearance reached 96% with active recovery and 91% with passive recovery. Logistic model analysis (p=0.06) suggested that active recovery was more effective, though significance was observed at the 0.10 level.
Conclusions. The findings of this study indicate that low-intensity active recovery is a more effective strategy for accelerating blood lactate removal in soccer players compared to passive recovery. Incorporating active recovery into training and competition protocols can enhance post-exercise physiological recovery and support sustained performance.

Pengelolaan pelabuhan perikanan semakin berkaitan dengan isu lingkungan akibat meningkatnya aktivitas operasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengulas kebijakan pengelolaan sampah di pelabuhan perikanan. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif melalui observasi lapangan dan analisis deskriptif di Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Karangantu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Karangantu belum memiliki regulasi yang mengatur pengelolaan sampah secara spesifik. Selain itu, terbatasnya sumber daya dan rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat menyebabkan pengelolaan sampah masih dilakukan secara konvensional. Tingginya volume sampah dari aktivitas nelayan, pedagang ikan, dan masyarakat pengguna jasa, menuntut penerapan pengelolaan sampah berkelanjutan berbasis kemitraan guna mengurangi limbah di Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Karangantu.The management of fishing ports is increasingly associated with environmental issues due to an increased in operational activities. This research aims to review the waste management policies in fishing ports. The method used is a qualitative approach through field observations and descriptive analysis at the Karangantu Nusantara Fishing Port. The research results indicate that the Karangantu Nusantara Fishing Port has not yet established specific regulations governing waste management. In addition, limited resources and low community participation have resulted in waste management still carried out using conventional methods. The high volume of waste generated by fishermen, fish traders, and service users necessitates the implementation of sustainable waste management through partnerships to reduce waste at Karangantu Nusantara Fishing Port.
Seaways to Complexity: A Study of Sociopolitical Organisation Along the Coast of Northwestern Scandinavia in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age
Authors: Austvoll Knut Ivar
Published: February 2025

This book presents the first big synthesis of sociopolitical development in northwestern Scandinavia, and outlines a theoretical model for concurrent but contrasting sociopolitical strategies that can be applied cross-culturally. It focuses on the sociopolitical development and the organisational differences between societies in northwestern Scandinavia in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (2350–1100 BCE).

Grounded in a political economy approach, this book presents a theoretical model that emphasises a dialectic negotiation between societies exercising coercive or cooperative strategies through processes of categorisation. Within this theoretical model the archaeological material is studied using a two-tiered approach. First, an extensive archaeological corpus, consisting of settlement and burial patterns, lithics, metal, and rock art is investigated comparatively for patterns of diachronic, regional and societal differences. Second, patterns from the first-tier are scrutinised and three case studies are selected, each expressing different organisational patterns based on local ecological advantages and/or restrictions. These aspects are then discussed on an interregional level, suggesting that utilisation of the seaway was one of the primary movers of increased complexity along the coast.

The intended readership for this book is scholars and students within the field of prehistoric archaeology, and the European Bronze Age in particular. However, the book’s comparative basis and emphasis on theoretical development within anthropological archaeology also make it accessible to a broader scholarly field.

Authors: Skotnicka-Palka Małgorzata
Published: February 2025

W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym jednym z najbardziej zapóźnionych pod względem cywilizacyjnym obszarów kraju było Polesie. Najważniejszymi problemami, z którymi musiały się mierzyć tamtejsze władze szkolne, były: zorganizowanie sieci szkolnej, budowanie szkół, zapewnienie odpowiedniej liczby nauczycieli i ich kształcenie, a także poprawa stopnia skolaryzacji. Liczne problemy szkolnictwa poleskiego spowodowały, że konieczne było udzielenie wsparcia uczniom z tego regionu. Jednym z takich działań pomocowych była zainicjowana w latach 30. XX w. akcja „Dzieci dzieciom”, polegająca na otoczeniu opieką uczniów szkół powszechnych przez młodzież szkół średnich. Początkowo akcja miała charakter regionalny. W krótkim jednak czasie upowszechniła się i objęła swym zasięgiem obszar całego kraju.

Este artigo analisa os lutos vividos por pessoas privadas de liberdade, considerando a privação como um rompimento de vínculos que demanda adaptações, revisão de crenças e concepções de mundo e de si. Com base em uma pesquisa qualitativa no presídio da Polícia Militar de São Paulo, é apresentada a história de vida de José, cujas transformações identitárias revelam o papel da religião na ressignificação de experiências e no enfrentamento das perdas. O estudo discute sobre os possíveis lutos vividos, aborda lutos não reconhecidos, antecipatórios e adiados atrelados a estigmas sociais e o possível impacto na vivência emocional dos sujeitos. Conclui-se que a espiritualidade pode ser um recurso de adaptação, mas ressalta-se a necessidade de políticas institucionais que ampliem o espaço para o cuidado emocional e a ressignificação para além da religião.

Published: February 2025

In this work, a floating photocatalyst based on Fe doped TiO2 immobilized vermiculite is synthesised via sol gel process. The samples was characterized with X-ray diffraction, N2 isothermal loops, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and ultraviolet – visible absorption to find its crystal phase composition, particle size, porosity, morphology,  and light absorption ability, respectively. The porosity of the support was enhanced as the natural vermiculite was pretreated by acid HNO3 40% to increases its specific surface area strongly from 6 to 323 m2/g. Crystalline anatase TiO2 was combined with vermiculite support to form a floating photocatalyst. The enhanced visible light absorption was achieved by adding 0.6 % mol Fe dopant in TiO2 structure. The total adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency in ciprofloxacine degradation of Fe doped TiO2 immobilized vermiculite was approximately 60 % while that of pure TiO2 immobilized vermiculite was only about 40 %. This result showed the improvement of floating photocatalysts in degrading antibiotics in water using visible light

Becoming Unstuck
Authors: Mann Jonathan
Published: February 2025

In this essay, I reflect on my reading experience with Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five and examine how the novel could serve as a mentor text for therapeutic writing, specifically when it comes to mental health writing. I place Vonnegut’s writing in the context of the current mental health crisis and examine his use of time, tone, and the speculative in order to express the protagonist’s experiences with mental health and trauma. Others who wish to use writing as a therapeutic tool and as a mode to share their experiences may use Slaughterhouse-Five to amplify their own work. Finally, I advocate that—despite the stigma surrounding mental health stories—our stories must be shared for both their personal and public benefit.
Writing Ecotones
Authors: Jones Madison
Published: February 2025

In this creative-critical essay, I examine my personal experience with genre distinctions between artistic and scholarly forms of writing, and the ways that blending these approaches has enriched how I situate myself within writing ecologies (Dobrin, 2001; Cooper, 1986) and environments (Rule, 2019; Stone, 2023). Specifically, I focus on the “middle voice” of creative-critical writing as opening a space for resilience, adaptation, and survival in the middle—between personal loss and the tragedies of massive scale social and environmental justice problems we are collectively experiencing.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), lacks a known etiology. Although clinical symptoms, imaging, and colonoscopy are common diagnostic tools, fecal calprotectin (FC) serves as a widely used biomarker to track disease activity. Metabolomics, within the omics sciences, holds promise for identifying disease progression biomarkers. This approach involves studying metabolites in biological media to uncover pathological factors. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to explore fecal metabolomics in IBD patients, evaluate its potential in differentiating subtypes, and assess disease activity using FC. METHODS: Cross-sectional study including IBD patients, clinical data, and FC measurements (=200 μg/g as an indicator of active disease). RESULTS: Fecal metabolomics utilized chromatography mass spectrometry/solid phase microextraction with MetaboAnalyst 5.0 software for analysis. Of 52 patients (29 UC, 23 CD), 36 (69.2%) exhibited inflammatory activity. We identified 56 fecal metabolites, with hexadecanoic acid, squalene, and octadecanoic acid notably distinguishing CD from UC. For UC, octadecanoic and hexadecanoic acids correlated with disease activity, whereas octadecanoic acid was most relevant in CD. CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the potential of metabolomics as a noninvasive complement for evaluating IBD, aiding diagnosis, and assessing disease activity.

The aim of the study was to determine the signs of TMJ dysfunction in patients with complete removable dentures who did not complain of discomfort or pain. Materials and methods. The study included 264 patients with complete absence of teeth, who had complete removable dentures for at least 6 months. Two groups of subjects were formed, 20 of whom (the control group) had no clinical signs, MRI examination in the TMJ did not reveal any pathological changes, and manual examination did not reveal pathological symptoms. The remaining 244 patients formed the main group, who also did not complain of any complaints. In these patients, tooth extractions were performed 6—12 months ago. Results. In the main group, it was determined that only 36 patients (15%) presented complaints when using complete removable dentures, and 224 patients (85%) had no symptoms, and crunching and clicking in the TMJ, accompanied by discomfort and minor pain were observed in 7 patients (20% of those presenting complaints). According to the results of the MRI study, it was determined that all 56 patients regardless of gender have an asymmetry in the shape of the articular heads and their sclerotic changes, 44 patients with complete edentia showed a posterior displacement of the joint heads and a narrowing of the joint space. At the same time 46 of the 56 patients were over 70 years old and used dentures for more than 4 years, a visual examination determined a decrease in the height of the lower part of the face, including due to the wear of artificial teeth installed in the denture. Conclusion. Thus, it has been determined that a significant number of patients using complete removable dentures have dysfunctional disorders in the temporomandibular joint, which are detected only by special examination methods. This category of patients does not seek dental care from medical organizations due to the absence of complaints of painful sensations.

Objective. To study the prevalence of periodontal disease (PD) among adolescents in the Nenets autonomous area (NAO). Materials and Methods. A total of 250 adolescents aged 15—17 years participated in a cross-sectional study as a part of State Assignment No. 056—00121-18-00 in the NAO. Periodontal status was assessed using a periodontal button probe. Results were presented as proportions for the prevalence and as arithmetic means for the number of affected sextants with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Categorical data were analyzed using chi-square tests, and discrete data were analyzed using Poisson regression. Risk ratios (RR) with CIs were calculated using robust standard errors to account for overdispersion. Results. The prevalence of PD was 38.8% (95% CI: 33.0—45.0). The prevalence of bleeding and calculus was 19.2% (95% CI: 14.8—24.5) and 28.4% (95% CI: 23.2—34.3), respectively. The mean number of sextants was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.73—1.10), while the mean number of sextants with bleeding was 0.37 (95% CI: 0.25—0.49), and with calculus was 0.57 (95% CI: 0.42—0.71) Girls had fewer affected sextants (RR=0.61 (95% CI: 0.41—0.91)). The number of affected sextants among the Nenets was twice as high compared to the Russians (RR=2.07 (95% CI: 1.14—3.76)). Urban residents had fewer affected sextants than rural residents (RR=0.38 (95% CI: 0.18—0.80)). Seventeen-year-olds had twice as many affected sextants as the 15-year-olds (RR=1.94 (95% CI: 1.09—3.46)). Conclusion. The results of the study can be used to develop effective dental preventive programs considering the socio-demographic characteristics of adolescents in the NAO.

A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of anesthesia methods used in general medicine and dentistry has been carried out. The study highlights various methods of anesthesia, including general, regional and local anesthesia, as well as innovative methods such as computer-based monitoring of the depth of anesthesia and the use of ultrasound to accurately administer the anesthetic. In dentistry, local anesthesia is more often used, which minimizes pain and has fewer side effects. One of the key issues in anesthesiology is the effectiveness of anesthesia, which depends on many factors, including the type of surgery, the physiological characteristics of the patient, and economic components. The main sources of information for this work were scientific articles published in peer-reviewed medical journals. The main platforms for finding relevant literature were: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar.
Towards understanding the fauna of buried corpses
Authors: Popov V.L. , Lyabzina S.N. , Isaev R.V.
Published: February 2025

The goal is to describe the occurrence of the Rhizophagus parallelocollis graveyard beetle in inhumated bodies in forensic practice and to evaluate the potential for establishing an accurate date of burial based on entomological analysis of the presence of Rh. parallelocollis in the remains. Numerous accumulations of graveyard beetle fragments were found in cadavers buried at a depth of 2.0—2.5 meters in the vicinity of Smolensk in 2013. The collected materials consisted mainly of individual body parts (pronotum, head, abdomen, and elytral). The highly developed sense of smell of these beetles allows them to detect corpses and migrate to depths of several meters by freely penetrating wooden coffins and metal boxes. The highest concentration of beetles were observed in hollow structures (skulls, leather shoes). The occurrence of Rh. parallelocollis on inhumation bodies is directly correlated with the duration of time the beetles have spent at the site. The discovery of large numbers of beetle remains (more than 5.000) indicates the age of the buried material and the estimated period of burial — 1941—1945.

The Council for Geoscience (CGS) performed a macroseismic investigation following the occurrence of an earthquake in the Boksburg area on 11 June 2023. The event had a magnitude of ML 4.4 and a focal mechanism that showed the event as having strike-slip motion along a northwest-southeast oriented fault. The event resulted in aftershocks, some of which occurred away from the causative fault in the east in an area without a mapped fault. However, the cluster of past events in that area suggests that there is an active fault. Due to the size of the main earthquake, a macroseismic survey was conducted to determine its impact on the community in the region. Analysis of observed data obtained from questionnaires resulted in the creation of 153 intensity data points. Their distribution showed high intensity values close to the earthquake source area. However, the investigation highlighted a number of anomalies, such as the higher than expected intensity values observed far from the event epicentre. It could be that these anomalies are caused by site conditions, for example, amplification of ground motion due to thick soil layers.

Published: February 2025

The study was grounded in a systematic literature review on the communicative efficiencies of rule-based conversational agents and those powered by natural language models with artificial intelligence. A total of 175 documents were analyzed as the basis for this review. Additionally, a historical analysis of the first recorded conversational agent, ELIZA, developed in 1966, was included, highlighting its pivotalrole in the emergence of rule-based systems. The study also delved into the arguments underpinning thesignificant differences between rule-based conversational agents and those leveraging natural languagemodels. These differences revealed that rule-based systems are simple and cost-effective tools, ideal forrepetitive and structured tasks, yet constrained in managing complex interactions. Conversely, agentspowered by natural language models enable more adaptive and personalized interactions, albeit requiring substantial investment in data and development. According to the findings, the choice between these approaches depends on the application context, available resources, and the specific needs of the organization.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the corporate sector demonstrated a vested interest not only in ensuring business continuity but also in effectively communicating risks to shape behaviors and foster trust, despite the prevalence of “infoxication” among key stakeholders. This study examines the role of corporations as formal sources of information alongside traditional media outlets during a health crisis that, from a communication perspective, has been categorized as an infodemic within a rapidly evolving media ecosystem. Through semi-structured interviews and an in-depth analysis of sustainability reports from three energy companies in Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador, this research identifies the strategies, narratives, and communication tools employed to navigate the crisis. Findings indicate that, in their efforts to protect workers' health and enhance institutional reputation, these companies exhibited remarkable adaptability in leveraging various communication tools and channels to craft narratives that engendered trust among stakeholders. Despite high levels of uncertainty, the companies successfully structured an efficient media ecosystem to complement stakeholders' information consumption patterns. This perspective constitutes the study’s primary contribution, as it highlights how, within the context of COVID-19, corporate discourse was strategically designed to build trust and encourage behavioral changes among employees and their families regarding preventive measures. In this regard, the corporate media ecosystem, through the deliberate construction of trust narratives, emerges as a fundamental component of stakeholders’ communication frameworks and a crucial mechanism for counteracting misinformation, including “infoxication”.

Published: February 2025

La enseñanza universitaria de las artes emplea recursos didácticos tradicionales como cualquier otra disciplina. Sin embargo, la educación artística recurre a algunas tecnologías particulares que conviene conocer en profundidad y en relación con los recursos humanos y físicos. Mediante una metodología cualitativa se lleva a cabo un estudio de caso del Dpto. de Arte de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche, acompañando a 22 docentes durante todo un curso académico en el reconocimiento de sus prácticas pedagógicas en el Grado de Bellas Artes, el Grado de Comunicación Audiovisual y varios posgrados. Desde el enfoque de la Teoría Fundamentada se analizan los datos recabados mediante diarios de campo. Los resultados ofrecen hasta 19 recursos diferentes que son valorados según su frecuencia de empleo. Entre las conclusiones destaca la predisposición del profesorado a la codocencia con otros profesionales externos e internos. También el alto grado de especialización del profesorado de artes en el uso pedagógico de las TIC como medio para fomentar el aprendizaje autónomo, la creatividad y la metacognición de los procesos de aprendizaje del alumnado. Siendo los recursos propios de las enseñanzas artísticas más destacables el visionado de imágenes y vídeos, el uso de programas informáticos de tratamiento de imagen y el empleo de medios mecánicos o tecnológicos en los talleres.
Correlations between Intellectual Abilities and Features of the Motivational-Emotional Sphere in College-Age Boys and Girls

Published: February 2025

The research is aimed at clarifying and comparing the specifics of the correlations between intellectual abilities, manifestations of emotions and motives in boys and girls of student age. In the process of theoretical analysis, the researchers' points of view on the nature of intellectual abilities are compared, interpretations of the essential characteristics of the motivational and emotional sphere manifested in various spheres of life are presented. It is shown that the productivity of the intellectual abilities of the individual is conditioned by the prevailing motives and the degree of severity of emotional states. 105 individuals took part in the study: 40 female and 65 male students of the Siberian Polytechnicnical College at the age of 17-20 years. Various statistical methods were used to process the data. Correlation analysis allowed to reveal the correlations between the studied characteristics both in the whole sample and separately for male and female parts of it. In the total sample, an inverse correlation was found between respondents' assessment of their well-being and their performance in solving tasks, which is explained by the need for conscious regulation of intellectual activity. This correlation is most vividly manifested in the subtests on practical ability plans, in which the use of verbal-logical thinking and the synthetic act of correlating the task condition and actualization of the necessary knowledge are assumed. Statistically significant differences were found in the two-factor analysis of variance. On average, girls have a higher motivation to achieve success, more often conditioned by external factors. They are also more sensitive to the influence of mental adaptation processes on the productivity of thought operations. Young men, as a rule, have a higher subjective assessment of anxiety and a lower level of motivation to achieve success, which, however, does not significantly affect the results of their mental activity. In addition, the sample of young men has a higher level of mental stress, as focusing on the problem-solving process may require more cognitive resources.
The Correlation between the Self-Image and the Mentor Image of Students in the Context of Professional Self-Determination
Authors: Krasilo D.A. , Repesciuc K.Yu.
Published: February 2025

The research focuses on clarifying the concept of the image of the Self as a subject of professional self-determination and its functions in the educational and professional activities of psychology students. The article presents empirical data obtained from a sample of 76 psychology students, including students of the1st and 2nd years (N=45) and students of the 3rd and 4th years of Taras Shevchenko National University of Tiraspol (N=31). The following methods were used in the study: a test questionnaire of the orienting image of the mentor "OSON" D.A. Krasilo, aimed at identifying the type of mentor, the method Self-Assessment-25 by V.N. Kunitsyna, motivation of professional activity (K. Zamfir's method modified by A.A. Rean), the method Value Orientations by M. Rokich. In order to identify the correlation between the self-image and the mentor image of the actor of professional self-determination, statistical data analysis methods were used: the Spearman pair correlation method, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-test and methods of cluster data analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics 27. The types of self-image of the subject of professional self-determination are identified as “idealized” and “realistic-effective” in the 1st and 2nd year students; “reflective” and “career-oriented” in the 3rd 4th year students.

Mathematical anxiety (MA) negatively affects all aspects of activities related to manipulating numbers, both in education and in everyday life. MA is negatively associated with mathematical self-efficacy, subjective value of mathematics, attitude, and interest towards mathematics. Individuals with pronounced MA have a lower need for cognitive load and reflective thinking. Among the predictors of MA, cognitive, personality, and social aspects can be identified. The question of the brain mechanisms of MA remains relevant. The review provides an analysis of studies on the neurophysiological correlates of mathematical anxiety using modern psychophysiological methods: electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results of studies using these methods are inconsistent. When studying MA, attention is paid to brain structures associated with the processing of both emotional information and cognitive processes. The analysis of the literature has shown that when implementing corrective measures, it is important to consider the lack of a unified theoretical approach, which raises questions about the causes of MA.

Published: February 2025

Os Acordos de Não Persecução Penal (ANPP) são instrumentos para a resolução de conflitos penais, permitindo evitar processos judiciais formais. Com a introdução da Lei Nº 13.964/2019, a importância desses acordos no cenário jurídico brasileiro aumentou. Este estudo buscou analisar as características dos ANPP na Comarca de Castanhal, Pará, explorando suas implicações e eficácia. A pesquisa foi conduzida através de um estudo descritivo-exploratório, combinando métodos quantitativos e qualitativos. Os dados foram coletados do Sistema de Processo Judicial Eletrônico do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Pará, abrangendo todas as fases de homologação, cumprimento e revogação dos ANPP. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos acordos envolveu delitos como embriaguez ao volante, resultando em penas pecuniárias. A maioria das homologações ocorreu em gabinetes ministeriais. Concluiu-se que os ANPP são eficazes na resolução de conflitos penais, mas há necessidade de políticas públicas específicas para melhorar sua transparência e eficácia.
