Vaccination is one of the greatest healthcare achievements and one the most important scientific developments of the human civilization. Epidemiological status and population’s attitude towards vaccination has been evolving rapidly in recent years. The main goal of this article is to assess and compare people’s approach towards influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, in addition to identifying the most prevalent information sources concerning both the former and the latter. As a research method, data obtained from 150 online surveys submitted by respondents were analysed. The results suggest connection between COVID-19 and influenza vaccinations. The study was designed to provide a better understanding of public attitudes in favour as well as against the vaccinations. The results obtained regarding the public views on influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations can be pointed out as an additional value derived from the research.
Miejsce intuicji w zdigitalizowanym świecie
Authors: Mudyń Krzysztof
Published: August 2024

Intuition is understood in the article as the intelligence of the unconscious, taking into account all the information possessed by the subject as well as individual abilities and preferences. Intuition makes itself felt in various ways. It cooperates with consciousness when more important decisions are to be made or directly controls the behavior of an individual (in case of so-called operational intelligence). The author reflects on the role of intuition in the digitalized world and comes to the conclusion that digital technology partially replaces intuition’s function but at the same time limits and blocks its development. He also notes that the concept of intuition in experimental psychology has been wrongly narrowed to spontaneously used heuristics in response to irrelevant questions, which usually leads to biased, inaccurate assessments. Finally, the suggestion appears that there is an analogy between human intuition, treated as the intelligence of the unconscious, and the direction of development of artificial intelligence. The use of the deep machine learning means that we know less and less about the processes taking place in the “black box,” which often leads to spectacular [? disastrous/bad] results. The term digital intuition seems to be an adequate description of this state of affairs. The common denominator of human and digital intuition is that information processing – although it leads to the desired effects – remains inaccessible to both the subject’s consciousness and the user (or even the designer) of the intelligent machine.
Isolated Suborders and their Application to Counting Closure Operators
Authors: Glück Roland
Published: August 2024

In this paper we investigate the interplay between isolated suborders and
closures. Isolated suborders are a special kind of suborders and can be used to
diminish the number of elements of an ordered set by means of a quotient
construction. The decisive point is that there are simple formulae establishing
relationships between the number of closures in the original ordered set and
the quotient thereof induced by isolated suborders. We show how these
connections can be used to derive a recursive algorithm for counting closures,
provided the ordered set under consideration contains suitable isolated
suborders.

Authors: Lazaroto Maria Laura Klein , Rodrigues Larissa Caroline , Magalhães Larissa de Cássia Afonso , Oliveira Verônica da Costa , Ramalho Gabriela Vieira
Published: August 2024

Introdução: Durante muitos anos, era vedado aos profissionais médicos expor o resultado dos seus trabalhos para garantir, principalmente, a não exposição do paciente. Contudo, o uso das mídias sociais nos últimos anos tornou-se uma ferramenta intrínseca nas atividades diárias da população mundial. O alcance desse meio de comunicação para fins profissionais torna-se útil para a saúde pública e seus profissionais médicos como ferramenta publicitária, orientadora e educativa. Dessa forma, este artigo tem como objetivo uma revisão sistemática de literatura sobre os benefícios, desvantagens e desafios do uso dessa ferramenta para os profissionais dermatologistas. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos:Para a elaboração do estudo foi realizado a busca em bases de dados acadêmicas e revisão de estudos clínicos, permitindo uma abordagem holística e atualizada do tema. Resultados e discussão: O debate acerca dos benefícios, desvantagens, normas e obstáculos para a publicidade médica no país tornou-se importante, com destaque para a atuação dos serviços em dermatologia, que com a crescente realização de procedimentos estéticos por esses profissionais de saúde, evidenciavam-se em defasagem em relação a outras áreas profissionais por não poderem divulgar suas habilidades, resultados e educação em segurança frente aos procedimentos ou tratamentos estéticos e clínicos. Considerações finais: As mídias sociais são uma importante ferramenta para os médicos dermatologistas, que, se usadas de forma ética e responsável, contribuem para a educação em saúde da população, orientam sobre a segurança dos procedimentos e tratamentos médicos, fortalecem o relacionamento médico-paciente e contribuem para a visibilidade do consultório.

Authors: Rosa Taysila Karita Furtado , Marques Laura Garcia Guarany , Gomes Nicole Silva , Araujo Amanda Batista , Oliveira Lucas Ferreira
Published: August 2024

Introdução: A malformação adenomatoide pulmonar congênita (MAPC) é uma anomalia rara do desenvolvimento pulmonar fetal, resultando em complicações respiratórias graves ao nascimento. O uso de corticosteroides no tratamento pré-natal é uma abordagem proposta para melhorar os desfechos clínicos dos recém-nascidos. Este artigo revisa a literatura sobre a eficácia e segurança dos corticosteroides no tratamento pré-natal da MAPC. Materiais e métodos: Para esta revisão, foram consultados artigos científicos e revisões na Medline/PubMed e SciELO entre 2000 e 2023. Os estudos incluíram ensaios clínicos, estudos de coorte e revisões sistemáticas sobre o uso de corticosteroides em gestantes com fetos diagnosticados com MAPC. Resultados e discussão: Evidências sugerem que o uso de corticosteroides no tratamento pré-natal da MAPC pode reduzir o tamanho das lesões pulmonares, melhorar a função respiratória pós-natal e diminuir a necessidade de intervenções cirúrgicas imediatas. No entanto, a variabilidade nos protocolos de tratamento e nas características dos estudos limita a generalização dos resultados. Além disso, os efeitos a longo prazo da exposição fetal a corticosteroides ainda precisam ser melhor investigados. As opções terapêuticas variam, refletindo a necessidade de mais pesquisas para confirmar a eficácia e segurança dessa abordagem. Considerações finais: O tratamento pré-natal com corticosteroides para a MAPC mostra-se promissor para melhorar os desfechos clínicos dos recém-nascidos, reduzindo a gravidade das complicações respiratórias. Contudo, a variabilidade nos estudos e a falta de dados sobre efeitos a longo prazo indicam a necessidade de mais pesquisas para estabelecer protocolos padronizados.

Acute aerobic exercise and creative thinking: comparison of transient hypofrontality state and strength model of self-controls’ theoretical predictions
Authors: Maleki Mohammad , Ahmadpour Arezo , Moraru Alexander , Memmert Daniel
Published: August 2024

Creativity is a high-level cognitive activity that can" be affected by acute aerobic exercise. This paper aims to determine how acute aerobic exercise intensities may influence aspects of divergent and convergent creative thinking. In this regard, to give an insight into the results, the predictions of the transient hypofrontality thesis and the strength model of self-control have been taken into consideration. Ninety-three healthy male college students (age = 21.18 ±1.73 years) were randomly assigned to anaerobic threshold intensity (%85 HRmax, n = 31), low intensity (%60 HRmax, n = 31), and control (n = 31) groups Participants performed divergent (Alternate Uses Task) and convergent (Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Test) creative thinking tasks before, during, and after cessation of two anaerobic thresholds and low intensities and control conditions. For the divergent creative thinking, flexibility and fluency performances during and after cessation of exercise in anaerobic threshold and low-intensity groups were improved in comparison to the control group.These results were consistent with the transient hypofrontality thesis and inconsistent with the strength model of self-control pre-dictions. In contrast, the performance of convergent creative thinking was relatively stable during and after cessation of exercise in anaerobic threshold and low-intensity groups which was inconsistent with both the transient hypofrontality thesis and the strength model of self-control predictions. The findings suggest that theoretical predictions of transient hypofrontality thesis are more adaptable with literature than the strength model of self-control to consider the exercise-creative processes relationship and further study of the issue would be of interest.

Athletics is still a male-dominated sport: the underrepresentation of women as athletes, coaches, and referees in Brazil
Authors: Silva Assis Isabela , Cassiano Lázari Evandro , Barreira Júlia , Pereira Palma Bartira , Rafaela Galatti Larissa
Published: August 2024

Gender inequality remains a pervasive issue in sports, attracting increasing attention in contemporary research. Despite this, scant scholarly focus has been directed towards the participation of women in athletics. This study sought to investigate the involvement of women as athletes, coaches, and referees across various age categories and events within the Brazilian Athletics Championship 2019. We assessed publicly available data from the championship, specifically the number of women in these roles. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test for association estimation, and one sample t-tests for mean frequency comparisons. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Our findings revealed no significant association between event type and age category, indicating a similar frequency of female athlete participation across different events and age groups. Notably, the average participation of women as athletes (42%) and coaches (19%) was statistically below the 50% threshold (t=4.595, p<0.001; t=25.00, p<0.001, respectively). Women represented 41% of the referees and did not show a significant difference to 50% (t=2.973, p=0.058). There was a significant association between gender and sport position with a higher participation of women as athletes and referees compared to coaches. In this study we show that, although there is a movement towards quantitative equality, women are still underrepresented as athletes, coaches, and referees in athletics, emphasizing the imperative for investment in sports policies, sports programs development geared towards fostering gender equality in athletics practices, and a qualitative comprehension of the challenges and barriers these professionals face.

The association between physical activity levels and quality of life among patients with chronic kidney Disease receiving hemodialysis treatment
Authors: Astuti Ristanti Puji , Arovah Novita Intan , Sukarmin Yustinus
Published: August 2024

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis face significant challenges in engaging in physical activity. Yet, the ability to perform daily activities is essential for improving quality of life. This study aimed to assess the relationship between quality of life and physical activity levels among CKD patients on hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 85 CKD patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Quality of life was assessed using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KD-QoL), while physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The statistical descriptive, followed by the assessment of association using the Spearman Correlation, was then conducted. The study found that a higher proportion of CKD patients were men, married, unemployed and with comorbidities. The physical activity was mostly conducted in ‘home-based/domestic’ domains. Low KDQoL scores were observed in areas involving ‘work’, ‘emotional’, and ‘physical health’. Occupational activity correlated with symptoms, social interaction, support, and staff encouragement (r=0.414-0.871). Domestic activity strongly correlated with ‘kidney disease effects’, ‘work status’, sleep, ‘physical functioning’, pain, ‘general health’, emotional well-being, and SF-12 scores (r=0.674-0.917). Leisure activity correlated with ‘cognitive and sexual function’, ‘general health’, and ‘emotional well-being’ (r=0.669-0.930). Transport activity correlated with symptoms, ‘kidney disease effects’, ‘cognitive and sexual function’, sleep, pain, and ‘social function; (r=0.302-0.999). Total physical activity was also associated with various quality-of-life components (r=0.611-0.985). These findings suggest the importance of supportive environments to improve physical activity and the quality of life of CKD patients on hemodialysis.

Effectiveness of maximum, explosive and combined strength training on endurance runners performance indicators: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Prieto-González Pablo , Yagin Fatma H. , Sánchez-Infante Jorge , Ardigò Luca Paolo
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of practicing maximum strength (MAX), explosive strength (EXP), or both combined (COMB) on seven runners’ performance indicators: vertical jump (VJ), one-repetition maximum squat (1RM), peak velocity/peak running speed (PV), lactate threshold (LT), middle-distance time trial (TT), maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), and running economy (RE). Methods: A systematic review (Scopus, Web of Science, Sports Discuss, PubMed) with meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA standards. Inclusion criteria (PICOS) were: Recreational or well-trained athletes aged 18-45 performing concurrent training for at least five weeks. The search terms used were related to different types of strength/endurance and participants’ age and sports modality. Twenty manuscripts were selected, and quality assessed with PEDro. Results: MAX training is more effective than EXP and COMB in improving VJ, 1RM, and PV, while COMB is more effective than MAX and EXP to enhance TT. MAX is more effective than EXP in improving LT. Concurrent workouts do not provide additional benefits to VO2max. It is unknown which strength modality (MAX, EXP, or COMB) is more effective in improving RE. Conclusion: Concurrent training is more effective than single-mode endurance training for enhancing specific performance variables in adult endurance runners. Middle- and long-distance runners may consider incorporating MAX training to target specific goals (i.e., improving VJ, 1RM, LT, PV) while utilizing COMB training to enhance TT. Certain variables may benefit from EXP. New randomized controlled trials are required to confirm these findings.

Published: August 2024

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that act to stabilize the human shoulder and allow for its extensive range of motion. This study aimed to compare the immediate effect and durability of mobilization and oscillation dumbbell (OD) training on the Joint Position Sense (JPS) and strength of rotator cuff muscles in young tennis players. Twenty-six tennis players were divided into two experimental groups. G1 only performed mobilization techniques while G2 only performed OD training, before, after and after one week of the protocols, the strength and JPS of the shoulder joint were measured with an isokinetic dynamometer. Repeated analysis of variance (RMANOVA) and Bonferroni post hoc test were used to examine the differences between the groups. The analysis of covariance was used to examine the differences between the groups. In general, the results showed a significant effect of both mobilization techniques and OD training programs on the JPS and internal and external rotation strength of young tennis players, but only one difference was observed between the two in external rotation for the eccentric/concentric action at 120°/sec (p=0009; ƞ2p= 0.32). Moreover, the main findings showed that mobilization techniques and OD improved internal and external rotations after the protocol and after one week when compared with baseline for the concentric/concentric and eccentric/concentric at 60°/sec and 120°/sec (p < 0.05) with only one exception for the internal rotation concentric/concentric at 120°/sec for both groups (p > 0.05). Based on this, it seems that in healthy tennis players, both one-session mobilization techniques and OD training can be used to improve JPS and strength.

Resultados: 13 artigos foram incluídos nesta revisão sistemática: 5 de boa qualidade, 7 de qualidade razoável, e um de qualidade pobre. Verifica-se maior utilização de pistas visuais, em 6 estudos; 3 estudos com pistas auditivas; 2 com pistas táteis e 2 com pistas audiovisuais. Relativamente à dupla tarefa: 8 estudos realizaram dupla tarefa cognitiva, 2 estudos dupla tarefa motora e 3 efetuaram ambas. Apenas 3 estudos usaram medidas de correlação entre pistas e o desempenho da dupla tarefa. A presente revisão demonstra que as pistas (visuais e motoras) melhoram as características espaciotemporais da marcha na Doença de Parkinson e que a dupla tarefa, por outro lado, representa uma maior exigência no planeamento do movimento. Conclusão: Esta revisão sistemática identificou uma significativa variabilidade nas metodologias usadas. As pistas visuais destacam-se pela sua utilização mais frequente na Doença de Parkinson. De forma geral, a utilização de pistas parece aumentar o desempenho nestes pacientes.

O estudo objetivou investigar policys direcionadas a concessões financeiras aos estudantes-atletas na Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul. Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória, documental, longitudinal retrospectiva, com análise documental. A instituição dispõe de policys de rendimento esportivo, com programas de concessões de bolsas esportivas e apoio à participação em competições esportivas. Desde 2013, o valor da bolsa é R$ 400,00. O financiamento da participação em competições se iniciou em 2018, destinando R$ 37.887,59 até 2022, dos quais 47,61% foram aplicados em competições nacionais, principalmente aos Jogos Universitários Brasileiros (45,50%). Os recursos destinados à participação em competições foram usufruídos somente por um (63%) ou dois anos (20%). Conclui-se que as policys existentes se mostram deficitárias à promoção da dupla carreira.

Background:  Weightlifting is one of the sports that contribute to Olympic medals for Indonesia. With the demand to contribute medals at the Olympics, a thorough screening is needed to evaluate athletes for possible risks of injury. Moreover, the lifting movements involve the joints, muscles, and skeleton. Therefore, the sport poses a very high risk of injury, especially to the shoulders. Knowing the athlete's Range of Motion (ROM) is important to see a good range of motion. This study aimed to observe ROM differences between injured and non-injured weightlifters. Method: An observational study was conducted on 16 athletes (10 male and 6 female) with the following characteristics for male (24.1 ± 6.7 years, 168.2 ± 2.5 cm, 83.0 ± 11.9 kg, 29.2 ± 4.0 kg/m2) and female (18.8 ± 1.6 years, 158.6 ± 3.8 cm, 65.2 ± 7.9 kg, 27.2 ± 4.5 kg/m2) participants. In data analysis, all athletes went through the screening stage. After that, the body composition and ROM of both arms were measured using InBody 270 and Humantrak 3D Human Movement Analysis, with statistical significance determined at a value <0.05 using the Mann-Whitney test in Minitab. Result: The study found a significant difference in the range of motion of the shoulder between athletes who had injuries and those who did not have injuries. Conclusion: This research revealed a decreased range of motion in weightlifting athletes with injuries.

This study examines patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior in individuals aged 65 years and older in the Beira Baixa region of Portugal with the aim of identifying differences between rural and urban settings. We analyzed data from 40 participants, including 19 rural residents (mean age = 74.7 years, SD = 8.5 years) and 21 urban residents (mean age = 70.1 years, SD = 5.2 years), using a retrospective cross-sectional design complemented by an ecological momentary assessment to capture real-time behavior. The thematic analysis revealed that both cohorts were predominantly sedentary, especially in terms of television consumption. Physical activities were mainly limited to tasks such as housework, gardening and occasional walking, with minimal social interactions. Urban participants, in particular, reported meeting more frequently with family at home and in the neighborhood. Both groups primarily used indoor spaces and nearby streets for physical activity. Our findings highlight the urgent need for tailored weekend physical activity programs to improve sedentary lifestyles among older adults in both rural and urban areas. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the specific leisure-time preferences and activity patterns of older Portuguese adults, providing a basis for the development of adaptive, age-appropriate interventions.

The objective of the study was to predict the level of stress in military submariners based on physical fitness and sleep quality variables. Cross-sectional and correlational research, with a sample of 40 male submariners (28.70±3.98 years old). Body mass and composition data were analyzed (MCT), height, BMI, waist, body fat (%G), dominant handgrip (PMDom), cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), squats, sit-ups, relative power of lower limbs (PotRel MMII), stress (PSS-10), Epworth Sleepiness Assessment (ESE) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Overall, negative associations (p<0.05) were observed between VO2max and MCT, BMI, %BF, and waist; PotRel MMII and age and %BF; squat and %G; sit-up and MCT, BMI, %BF and waist; and finally, stress and VO2max and sit-up. Furthermore, positive associations (p<0.05) between BMI and MCT; %BF and MCT and BMI; waist and age, BMI, MCT, and %BF; squats and PMdom., VO2max and PotRel MMII; sit-ups and VO2max, PotRel LL and squats; ending with PSQI and stress. Furthermore, among the stress level prediction equation models developed, the equation Stress=15.92+1.538(PSQI)-0.497(VO2max)+0.188(Squat) met the proposed requirements, which is based on sleep quality, cardiorespiratory fitness, and number of squats.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Small-Sided Game (SSG) training on the dribbling skills of young soccer players at Soccer Academy PSG Situjuah Gadang, Situjuah Limo Nagari District. This research method is experimental with pre-test and post-test control group design. The experimental group engaged in SSG training that focused on developing dribbling skills, while the control group received no additional training intervention. The sample of this study consisted of 20 youth soccer players from a Soccer Academy who were randomly selected into two groups. Data was collected using dribbling tests before and after the training intervention. Data analysis was conducted using an independent t-test to compare the differences between the two groups. The results showed that the group involved in SSG training showed significant improvement in dribbling skills compared to the control group (p<0.05). This finding indicates that SSG training can effectively improve the dribbling skills of youth soccer players by obtaining the "t" test coefficient which is ttable 1,729 < tcount 4,60. The practical implication of this finding is the importance of paying attention to the use of SSG training in the development of technical skills of young soccer players. Small-sided games training on dribbling is an important part of developing athletes' skills and abilities in ball games that require responsiveness, speed, accuracy, teamwork, and adaptability to opponent pressure. The need for coaches to form interesting, challenging, increasing, and structured small-sided games training so that players can improve their skills in soccer. For players, the importance of serious training with the small-sided games method to develop soccer skills.
