PRIORITIES, CONCERNS AND EXPECTATIONS OF LOCAL YOUNG SPECTATORS REGARDING 21ST CENTURY FILM AND CINEMA.
Authors:   Noreen Sultana, Mehmood Sohail
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates the impulses, motives and conditions that are positively associated and problems, hurdles and concerns that are the obstacles in the resurgence of 21st century Pakistani film industry. It also gauges the priorities and concerns of young moviegoers and compares with the priorities and concerns of our young generation of filmmakers. To achieve this end we employed both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and came up with following results that Pakistan’s screen to film production ratio is one of the best in the world. It is vehemently in search of its distinctive identity and plays, sometimes immaturely, with different genres are evidence to it. We see a visible drift from conventional Indo Pak Masala genre to social drama, physical reality, war movies and Wuxia. Production facilities of Pakistani film industry have been significantly improved and in terms of equipment Pakistani film industry is no more far behind Bollywood and Hollywood as it used to be even in the times of Khuda Kay Leay (KKL). Different production processes are gradually becoming worthier; cinematography, sound design and post production effects have been admired whereas viewers are critical about the standard of music, choreography, production budget, code switching, acting, script writing and screen playwright. Researchers found that most of the filmmakers complain about dearth and substandard script and screen play. Moreover, film viewers also complain about lack of originality in the script. Young filmmakers also complain about the dearth of trained human resources, who may use the modern equipment to its optimum level of output. Young viewers more or less face a paradox, they claim that they aspire to see their local culture and local social issues in Pakistani movies, they yearn to see local culture in Pakistani movies but when they are exposed to the choice to select either Pakistani film or Indian, they choose Indian movie hoping to get better entertainment value in terms of visual pleasure; a fact that requires separate in depth research about the psychology of young Pakistani film spectatorship.

The current various madrasa innovations remain various problems, namely being at a crossroads between maintaining the original character and modernization. MAPK faces problems with formal legal aspects, MA Skills and Models have funding problems, and Madrasa Diniyah is experiencing problems in certificate recognition. Qualitative research on the vision of madrasa development is very important so that the various models of madrasacontinue to develop according to their historical character and vision. Madrasamust be built based on Islamic values, the essential character of the history of Islamic education, and the formulation of future challenges. Islamic and populist characters in madrasas are identities that must color the curriculum. Madrasas are obliged to carry out the basic vision and mission of pesantren, namely tafaqquh fi al-din by 1) increasing community participation in empowering accountable, quality-oriented management, which will encourage madrasato be the centerof excellence. 2) increasing participation so that madrasas remain the core of a learning society, capable, functional, integrated.Berbagai inovasi madrasah yang ada sekarang ini,ternyata masih menyisakan berbagai persoalan, yakni berada dalam persimpangan jalan antara mempertahankan karakter asli dan melakukan modernisasi.

Published: March 2021

Background: Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare genetic congenital disease, characterized by complete right-left inversion of all the internal organs. We herein describe a meaningful case which was diagnosed as gallbladder adenosquamous carcinoma, a rare histology type of gallbladder cancer, with SIT. Case presrntaton: A 59-year-old Chinese woman was admitted for persistent epigastric distention and intermittent abdominal pain. The abdominal CT scan revealed a huge mass at the gallbladder bottom, involving the adjacent transverse colon and liver. En-bloc radical resection of the gallbladder cancer, including partial colonectomy and hepatectomy with regional node dissection, followed by colocolostomy and Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy, was successfully performed Pathology analysis indicated an adenosquamous carcinoma with positive adenocarcinoma marker (CK7, CK19) and squamous carcinoma markers (CK5/6, P63). Conclusion: The SIT anomaly might increase the risk of malignancies by sharing genome mutations, suggesting the importance of surveillance in the SIT settings.

Published: March 2021

INTRODUCTION The true pathology and clinical implication of treatment-related image changes (TRICs) after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases (BM) have not been established. This study compared the surgical pathology and outcomes of intracranial metastatic lesions featured as TRICs or progressive disease (PD) in advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).METHODS A total of 86 patients who underwent surgical resection of brain metastases previously treated with gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) from 2009 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed and classified by MRI findings and histopathology.RESULTS Among 54 patients with TRICs in preoperative MRI, the histopathology of pure radiation necrosis (RN) was confirmed in 19 patients (TRIC-RN) and mixed or predominant viable tumor cells in 35 patients (TRIC-PD). Thirty-two patients diagnosed with PD exhibited the metastatic histology well correlated with imaging (PD-PD). The TRIC-PD group showed larger prescription isodose volume (9.4 cm3) than the TRIC-RN (4.06 cm3, p=0.014) group and shorter time interval from GKS to preoperative MRI diagnosis related to neurological deficits (median 4.07 months) than the PD-PD group (median 8.77 months, p=0.004). Significant differences in progression-free survival were confirmed among the three groups (p<0.001) but not between TRIC-RN and TRIC-PD (post hoc test, p=1.00), whereas no significant difference was observed in overall survival (p=0.067). CONCLUSIONS The brain metastatic lesions diagnosed as TRICs after GKS frequently contained viable tumor cells, while they exhibited the benign prognosis as RN after surgical resection. These findings suggest that TRICs on advanced MRI can serve as a prognostic factor, regardless of the histologic heterogeneity.

Published: March 2021

Background: Preterm birth is a birth that occurs before 37 weeks of gestational age since the first day of a woman’s last menstrual period. In Ethiopia, 10% of babies born preterm each year. Preterm birth is the major cause of neonatal deaths next to pneumonia and it is a substantial cause of long-term problems in survivors. The objective of the study was to identify key determinants of preterm birth in Kembata Tembaro, Southern Ethiopia, 2019. Method: Institutional unmatched case-control study design was employed on 310 mothers who gave full-term births as control and 104 mothers with preterm births as cases from October 1, 2018, to February 1, 2019. The study participants were selected using a consecutive sampling method. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Result: A total of 104 (25.1%) cases and 310 (74.9%) controls were included in the analysis with a 100% response rate. Factors such as rural resident, AOR =2.7; 95% CI [1.3, 5.6], uneducated, AOR= 2.6; 95% CI [1.3, 5.2], ANC visits <4 times, AOR =5.5; 95% CI [2.1, 14.3], substance abuse, AOR =3.5; 95% CI [1.1, 10.5], MUAC <23cm, AOR= 7.2; 95%CI [3.3, 15.7], pregnancy-induced hypertension, AOR =8.9; 95%CI[1.2, 69], history of abortion, AOR =11.1; 95%CI[1.2, 105], FCS <=21.4, AOR =20.7; 95%CI[10, 42.2], and low birth weight, AOR= 20.2; 95%CI[10.5, 39] were identified as significant determinants of preterm birth. Conclusion: Education level, rural residence, Poor antenatal care visits, substance abuse, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and history of abortion are the key factors associated with pre-term birth. Community awareness and mobilization should be strengthened through extension programs. Emphasis should be given to strengthening efforts on the availability of basic health services and promoting education on nutrition during pregnancy, especially in rural areas. Further study is recommended regarding the effect of maternal nutrition on preterm birth using a prospective study design.
On the climate benefit of a coal-to-gas shift in Germany’s electric power sector

Published: March 2021

Methane emissions along the natural gas supply chain are critical for the climate benefit achievable by fuel switching from coal to natural gas in the electric power sector. For Germany, one of the world’s largest primary energy consumers, we conducted fleet-conversion modelling taking domestic and export country specific emissions in the natural gas and coal chains into account. Methane leakage rates below 4.9 % (GWP20; immediate 4.1 %) in the natural gas supply chain lead to overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by fuel shifting from lignite and hard coal to natural gas. Reported supply chain methane emissions for Germany’s natural gas mix are with < < 1 % leakage rates well below this Germany-specific break-even leakage rate. Even a potential supply by U.S.-American liquefied natural gas to Germany would not exceed this critical rate. Supply chain emission scenarios demonstrate that a complete shift to natural gas would emit 30–55 % less greenhouse gases than from the coal mix. However, further abating supply chain methane emissions in the oil and gas sector should remain a prime effort, when considering natural gas as bridge fuel on the path to achieve the Paris climate goals.
Phytosynthesized of Silver Nanoparticles; Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm Activities Against E.coli Pathogenic Isolated From Urinary Tract Infection
Authors: Mohammadizadeh Massoumeh , Kashi Fershteh Jookar
Published: March 2021

The most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTI) is uropathogenic Escherichia coli, which is often resistant to antibiotics. E. coli can form biofilms on urinary catheters. The biofilm protects E. coli against various factors. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPS) were synthesized using Trifolium pratense L. extract as a reducing agent. The AgNPs were characterized by visible UV spectroscopy, a diffraction pattern (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDX). The AgNPs had a spherical shape with an average particle of 19 nm. Biological properties were also evaluated using biofilm inhibition, anticancer, antimicrobial activity. The brine shrimp lethality assay was applied to evaluate the anticancer activity of the nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles with LC50 (1.3 μg/ml) had the highest cytotoxicity activity. The antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles was evaluated by the agar diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum bactericidal concentration in the range of 1.00 to 0.0312 and 2.00 to 0.0312, respectively. The nanoparticles exhibited a high antimicrobial effect against human E.coli pathogenic strains isolated from Urinary Tract Infection. The effect of biofilm inhibition on antibiotic resistant clinical strains by silver nanoparticles showed that silver nanoparticles inhibited biofilm between 21.12 to 97.10%.
Impact of Model Resolution on the Representation of the Wind Field Along Nares Strait
Authors: Moore G. W. K.
Published: March 2021

Nares Strait is a major pathway along which multi-year sea ice leaves the Arctic, an ice class that seen a recent dramatic reduction in extent. The winds that blow along the strait play an important role in modulating this ice export as well as in establishing the Arctic’s largest and most productive polynya, the North Water, that forms at its southern terminus. However, its remote location has limited knowledge of the winds along the strait. Here we use automatic weather station from Hans Island, in the middle of the strait, to assess the ability of a set of atmospheric analyses with a common lineage but with varying horizontal resolution to represent the variability in the wind field. We find that the flow is highly bidirectional, consistent with topographic channeling, with the highest wind speeds from the north and that a model resolution of ~9km is required to capture the observed variability. The wind field at Hans Island is also found to be representative of variability in the flow along much of Nares Strait.

The mechanisms underlying retinal development have not been completely elucidated. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are novel essential mediators of cell-to-cell communication with emerging roles in developmental processes. Nevertheless, the identification of EVs in human retinal tissue, characterization of their cargo, and analysis of their potential role in retina development has not been accomplished. Three-dimensional retinal tissue derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) provide an ideal developmental system to achieve this goal. Here we report that hiPSC-derived retinal organoids release exosomes and microvesicles with small noncoding RNA cargo. EV miRNA cargo-predicted targetome correlates with GO pathways involved in mechanisms of retinogenesis relevant to specific developmental stages corresponding to hallmarks of native human retina development. Furthermore, uptake of EVs by human retinal progenitor cells leads to changes in gene expression correlated with EV miRNA cargo predicted gene targets, and mechanisms involved in retinal development, ganglion cell and photoreceptor differentiation and function.

Introduction Hospital centralization effect is reported to lower complications and mortality for high risk and complex surgery operations, including colorectal surgery. However, no linear relation between volume and outcome has been demonstrated. Aim of the study was to evaluate the increased surgical volume effect on early outcomes of patient undergoing laparoscopic restorative anterior rectal resection (ARR).Methods A retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients undergoing ARR with primary anastomosis between November 2016 and December 2020 after centralization of rectal cancer cases in an academic Centre. Short outcomes are compared to those of patients operated in the same unit during the previous 10 years before service centralization. The primary outcome was anastomotic leak rate. Mean operative time, need of conversion, postoperative use of blood transfusion, radicality, in-hospital stay, number and type of complications, readmission and reoperation rate, mortality and 1-year and stoma persistence rates were evaluated as secondary outcomes.Results 86 patients were operated in the study period and outcomes compared to those of 101 patients operated during the previous ten years. Difference in volume of surgery was significant between the two periods (p 0.019) and the estimated leak rate was significantly lower in the higher volume unit (p 0.05). Mean operative time, need of conversion, postoperative use of blood transfusion and in-hospital stay (p <0.05) were also significantly reduced in Group A.Conclusion: This study suggests that the shift toward higher volume in rectal cancer surgery is associated to decreased anastomotic leak rate. Potentiation of lower volume surgical units may yield optimal perioperative outcomes.

Published: March 2021

Objective: Neuropathic pain arises from damage or pathological changes in the peripheral or central nervous system. The pain is difficult to treat as standard treatment with conventional analgesics doesn`t typically provide effective relief of pain.

Methods: It was a one-year study of utilization and analysis of prescriptions for PNDs (Painful neuropathic disorders). The parameters evaluated were demographic profile of the patient (age and gender), type and etiology of PNDs, drug data (name of the group of drugs with individual drugs, mono or polytherapy, number of drugs per prescription, formulation) and associated adverse drug reactions (ADR) with the prescribed drug.

Results: Maximum number of patients of PNDs resides in the age group of 18 – 35 yrs (41.2%) & more common in females. The most common PND encountered was painful diabetic neuropathy (43.9%) followed by cervical and lumbar radiculopathy, postherpetic neuralgia. 2942 drugs were prescribed in 1020 prescriptions out of which 96.8% were oral and 3.2% were topical formulations. Most frequently prescribed group of the drug was tricyclic antidepressants (27.3%) followed by anticonvulsants (25.3%). Polypharmacy was seen 89.7% as compared to monotherapy (10.3%). Only 132 ADRs of various types were seen. The most common organ system affected was the central nervous system followed by gastro intestinal systems. The most common drugs implicated for ADRs were TCAs (24.4%), anticonvulsants (16.6%), and Pregabeline (9.8%). There were no fatal adverse events. Mild to moderate ADRs included constipation, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dryness of mouth.

Conclusions: The choice of drug depends on etiology of neuropathic pain, drug efficacy and availability and also on ADR profile.

Diversity and multipurpose utility of wild edible plant in Chopta –Mandal forest, Uttarakhand
Authors: Agarwal Reenu , Chandra Veena
Published: March 2021

Wild edible plants (WEP) play a very important role in providing stable and supplemented food and also the source of income to local communities providing food security during lean periods. The present study was conducted in 11 villages covering the Chamoli and Rudraprag district of Uttarakhand. The information was collected through structured questionnaires along with field visit, group discussions and key informant interviews. The methods employed in the study is designed with the purpose of providing baseline information on the ethnobotanical use of plant species in local communities. The study recorded 64 species of WEP belonging to 47 genera and 36 families. Most of the species are used as fruits (30 species) followed by leafy vegetables (20), about 31 wild edibles plant species are used as medicinal and almost half of the species (51%) were also used for purposes other than food and 28% species with market value. A few wild edible species are used for making pickles, chutney, jam, jelly and squash through value addition to ensure high returns in comparison to selling of raw materials. Dependency of local people on the wild edible plants for economic potential is still alive and is a traditional culinary practice that demonstrates rich traditional knowledge of local people. Wild edible plants provide all the essential nutrient and minerals to the local inhabitants to stay healthy but unfortunately the traditional knowledge on the use of WEP is diminishing. WEP are not only important for livelihood but have a great potential for crop improvement. These wild species should be promoted for income generation activities through sustainable collection and trade as they are important throughout the year because their consumption serves multiple purposes.
O DISCURSO DA/SOBRE A MINERAÇÃO NA AMAZÔNIA BRASILEIRA: SÍTIO DE EXPLORAÇÃO E FETICHE
Authors: Amaral Maria Virginia Borges , Hauradou Gladson Rosas
Published: March 2021

O discurso sobre a Amazônia produz um efeito mítico, metaforicamente poético, caracterizado pela beleza natural, apropriado pelo “discurso oficial” do meio ambiente. A região amazônica tem sido apresentada ao mundo como reduto de ecossistemas, de espécies de seres vivos que expressam potencial econômico abundante para atender aos anseios do ardil capitalista contemporâneo. Sobressai na região, ainda, o histórico processo de extração mineral que, atualmente, na condição de commodities (mercadorias), é responsável por grande parte do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) e da exportação brasileira. Como sítio de Patrimônio Natural da Humanidade, a Amazônia apresenta diversas questões que perpassam as relações de homens e mulheres, cujas vidas são impactadas, no dia a dia, pela presença de agentes exógenos à região. Este estudo volta-se, particularmente, para a Amazônia brasileira. Com o propósito de contribuir com o debate, propomos este estudo sob a ótica da Análise do Discurso para mostrar o fetichismo da exploração no discurso da/sobre a mineração.

Neste texto elencamos alguns dos percursos e disputas de sentidos e de discursividades recorrentes na Amazônia, em relação e contraste com a vida da comunidade ribeirinha do Macurany (Parintins/Amazonas). Para isso, nos baseamos em algumas obras e interpretações sobre a história da região, sobre comunidades ribeirinhas e indígenas, de modo a avaliarmos e relacionarmos, pela perspectiva materialista de Análise de Discurso, tais interpretações à realidade dessa comunidade ribeirinha de origem indígena, em Parintins, cidade atravessada pelas contradições das formações sociais amazônidas. Assim, percebemos a recorrência das discursividades instaladas e convocadas com a colonização, o que nos indica que precisamos de mais obras artísticas, escolares, acadêmicas e jornalísticas para expormos e dirimirmos os problemas e os efeitos catastróficos da violência simbólica, moral, política, social, econômica e física, causados por essas discursividades.
ASSOMBRADO E MEDONHO: O OBJETO NA ATMOSFERA GÓTICA DE UM CONTO DE COELHO NETO
Authors: Gama-Khalil Marisa Martins
Published: March 2021

No cotidiano, geralmente consideramos os objetos como meros acessórios com funcionalidades imediatas e dotados de uma inércia característica; contudo a literatura muitas vezes lança uma luz sobre os objetos, delegando a eles uma atuação especial, e, no caso da literatura gótica, essa performance dos objetos aparece com frequência associada ao trabalho com sobrenatural e o terror. Neste ensaio, o corpus de análise eleito é o conto “A bola” do escritor brasileiro Coelho Neto, em função de o objeto não ser destacado apenas pelo título, mas de ele ser a base para toda a trama e para a irrupção da atmosfera gótica. Os fundamentos teóricos são ancorados nos estudos sobre a literatura gótica e a fantástica e nos raros trabalhos sobre a presença e atuação dos objetos na ficção.
FANTASMAS DA INFÂNCIA: CRIANÇA QUEER E (IN)VISIBILIDADE EM PARANORMAN E PLUFT, O FANTASMINHA
Authors: Fritsch Israel Augusto Moraes de Castro
Published: March 2021

Norman e Pluft, personagens do filme e livro ParaNorman e da peça Pluft, o Fantasminha, respectivamente, estão localizados entre o mundo e o além-mundo como alegorias para uma infância fora do padrão. Ao longo das narrativas, eles precisam ser aceitos pelo que compartilham de distinto e não de semelhante, em relação às demais crianças ou familiares. É possível ler Norman, o menino paranormal, como um ser “monstrificado”, pela abjeção com que é compreendido pela comunidade, apesar de não apresentar deformação física. Já Pluft inverte o papel de fantasma, cobrado pela mãe em relação aos humanos que deveria assustar, mas é por estes assustado: um fantasma medroso. Defende-se que, no contexto da infância queer, esses personagens “nasce[m] nessas encruzilhadas metafóricas, como a corporificação de um certo momento cultural – de uma época, de um sentimento e de um lugar” (COHEN, 2000, p. 26), para demostrar que há outros comportamentos possíveis.
O GÓTICO E A VAMPIRIZAÇÃO DA HISTÓRIA
Authors: Barros Fernando Monteiro de
Published: March 2021

O ano de 1764 assinala o surgimento do romance gótico com a publicação de O castelo de Otranto, de Horace Walpole. Confrontando os valores do Iluminismo da época, o romance de Walpole  estabelece os pressupostos do que se constituirá como um dos mais duradouros gêneros da ficção ocidental. A presença da História é essencial tanto para o gênero quanto para o modo gótico, trazendo o elemento do passado que assombra o presente na modernidade, a partir de cenários que remetem à Idade Média ou pelo menos ao Ancien Régime. Entretanto, a História é representada de forma teatralizada, no que ela sinaliza a condição dramática moderna de um mundo desprovido de sentido onde o que permanecem são simulacros e fantasmagorias.

Published: March 2021

Background: Acute malnutrition is a frequent comorbidity in children
with cancer and is associated with poor cancer treatment outcomes.This
study describes the prevalence of acute malnutrition and its predictors
at time of cancer diagnosis at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital
(MRRH). Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of children
<15 years of age at diagnosis of cancer seen at the Children’s
Cancer Unit of MRRH between May 2017 and May 2019. Using a data
extraction tool, information regarding demographics, anthropometry at
admission and cancer diagnosis was extracted from the children’s medical
records. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were
used to determine the prevalence and patterns of acute malnutrition
among children at diagnosis of cancer and the factors associated with
acute malnutrition, respectively. The study was approved by the Mbarara
University of Science and Technology Research and Ethics Committee.
Results: One hundred and thirty-three children were included in the
study with a mean age of 6.6 years (SD 3.9).54.9% of the children were
male. Overall, 46 (34.6%) of subjects had acute malnutrition at time of
cancer diagnosis. Of these, 25 (54.3%) had moderate acute malnutrition
and 21/46 (45.7%) had severe acute malnutrition.The factors
independently associated with acute malnutrition after multivariate
logistical regression analysis were age >5 years
(p<0.0001) and reduced appetite (p=0.002). Conclusion: Acute
malnutrition is common among children with cancer at diagnosis,
especially in older children and those reporting poor appetite.
Nutrition assessment and care should be incorporated into routine
childhood cancer care to improve cancer treatment outcomes.
Approximate analytical solution of the integro-differential model of bulk crystallization in a metastable liquid with mass supply (heat dissipation) and crystal withdrawal mechanism
Authors: Nizovtseva Irina , Ivanov Alexandr , Alexandrova Irina
Published: March 2021

This paper is devoted to an approximate analytical solution of an
integro-differential model describing the process of nucleation and
growth of particles in crystallizers, taking into account the
thermal-mass exchange with the environment and the removal of product
crystals from the metastable medium. The method developed in this work
for solving model equations (kinetic equation for the particle size
distribution function and balance equations for temperature/impurity
concentration) is based on using the saddle point method for calculating
the Laplace-type integral. It is shown that the degree of metastability
of the liquid decreases with time at a fixed value of the mass inflow

Grand Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich and Baty-khan’s Invasion
Authors: Rudakov Vladimir N.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the activity of the Grand Prince of Vladimir Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, or Yaroslav II (1190/1191–1246) during Baty- khan invasion of Russia. The article gives reasons of the Grand Prince’s non-participation in the Battle at the Sit River (1238), and also specifies motives of his attack on the city of Kamenets in the South of Russia (1239). On the basis of the various sources analysis, the author puts forward the hypothesis that the campaign was started not in Vladimir but from the suburbs of Kiev, where allegedly Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich could be staying at the time. Thereby the time of his return from Kiev to Vladimir-Suzdalian Rus could be reconsidered. Most likely it happened at the turn of 1239–1240, but not in the middle of 1238 as it’s commonly thought. In the context of Yaroslav Vsevolodovich’s special interest in Kiev, the article clarifies the Grand Prince’s motives of accepting from Baty-khan the rights of power over Russian lands in 1243.
Constantinople “Mascaralyc” in Letters and Memoirs of K.A. Goubastov
Authors: Fetisenko Olga
Published: March 2021

The publication contains fragments of unpublished letters and memoirs of a Russian diplomat K.A. Goubastov (1845–1919), telling about the life of the embassy in Constantinople before the Russian-Turkish war of 1877–1878, in particular about the evacuation on April 11, 1877. The letters are addressed to his friend since 1867 K. Leontiev. The topic of correspondence allows us to consider these documents not only as just as eyewitness account, but also as the material enlarging our scope of Danilevsky epoch understanding and the source associated with the historiosophical issues that N. Danilevsky was engaged in.
Development of Hopping: An observation Checklist for Educators
Authors: NONIS Karen P. , PARKER Helen E. , LARKIN Dawne
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.This paper provides an observation checklist of the developmental stages of components of repetitive hopping-in-place and describes performance differences in hopping on the preferred and the non-preferred foot by children and adults. Females aged 3-7 years and 18-30 years performed the task of hopping-in-place on their preferred and non-preferred limb on three separate sessions. A behavioural checklist was used to describe the developmental sequence for leg and arm actions, trunk lean, balance control and foot landing style. Age differences in developmental levels in component actions were revealed in both the preferred and non-preferred limbs. The utility of a checklist which details the developmental stages of component parts of hopping and the need to analyse preferred and non-preferred limbs to more objectively quantify the quality of performance are discussed.這份報吿提供「重複單足跳」發展階段的觀察清單，並形容對於成人和小孩在選擇「較喜歡」與「較不喜歡」的腳之間單足跳的不同表現。女性年齡介於三至七歲和十八至三十歲參與了這項選擇「較喜歡」與「較不喜歡」的腳之間單足跳的三個各別測試。對於腿和臂的行動、腿部肌肉(trunk lean)、身體平衡的控制和足的著陸風格則是以一份行為式的清單來形容。年齡的差距在發展水準的組成部分上對於選擇「較喜歡」與「較不喜歡」的腳之間單足跳有一定的影響力。使用檢查單可更客觀地詳述對以上單足跳的發展階段以及分析在選擇「較喜歡」與「較不喜歡」的腳之間的需要。
Perspectives of Asian Sports

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.Asia is composed of a large number of countries spread over a long distance from east to west as well as north to south. It has been traditionally influenced by the colonial powers of Britain, France, Portugual, Spain and Holland and more recently, the U.S. After World War II，while most countries were enjoying a period of peace and prosperity, wars broke out in Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East. The 1988 Olympics at Seoul was so successful that people again realised that Asia has many hidden resources. It is therefore fair to say that Asia is in transition with different countries responding differently to the impact of modernization and the influence of their natural heritage and past colonial power.亞洲是由一群廣佈東西南北的國家組成。它一向受著其他國家和勢力的影響。例如，較早期的英國，法國，葡萄牙，西班牙以及荷蘭等殖民勢力以致較近期的美國浪潮。第二次世界大戰後，正當大部份國家享受著和平和繁榮生活之際，戰爭卻在韓國、越南和中東相繼爆發。亞洲某些地域又吿進入烽火期。 到了一九八八年在韓國漢城舉行的奧林匹克運動會，運動員和主辦單位的成功又再顯示出亞洲擁有廣大有待發掘的資源。從這點我們可以説，亞洲各國現正處於既受殖民勢力和天然遺產的影響以及對現代化不同反應的過度期。

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.
This paper is concerned with a qualitative study of how 15 pre-service PE teachers, who are taking the two-year full-time teacher training course, develop professionally in their second field experience. With the interpretive research paradigm as conceptual framework, data were collected through interviewing and writing of reflective journals. Groups of pre-service PE teachers were found possessing different professional learning experiences concerning their conceptions and socializing strategies. Their professional conceptions included "educating pupils to learn", "seeing PE as catharsis, discipline and having fun". Their socializing strategies composed of finding means to improve teaching, and adopt social tactics for managing pupils and defensive attitude for handling crisis. The study provides an understanding of pre-service PE teachers in the Hong Kong Institute of Education and their learning-to-teach processes. The findings serve as the backdrop for recommending possible pedagogical changes for facilitating desirable professional development of pre-service PE teachers.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between health-related fitness (HRF) and the physical activity (PA) level from web-based records in college students. The college students (N=221, 18.8±0.6 yr) were recruited. Sedentary time, exercise mode, duration and rating of perceived exertion scale for 7 days were recorded. The body mass index, sit-ups completed in 30 s and 60 s, standing long jump, sit and reach, and 800- or 1600-m run/walk were measured. Spearman correlation and independent t-test were used for statistics. A level of a=0.05 was set for significant on all tests. The results showed that both PA and moderate intensity physical activity were significantly related to HRF, where as cardiovascular endurance was not related. We suggested PA probably affect life movement but not cardiovascular endurance. This study also indicated the correlation patterns were different in gender. The best strategies to promote HRF in college students are to reduce the sedentary time for male and to increase PA intensity for female.
