Fall Risk in Older Adults Transitioning between Different Flooring Materials
Authors: Kim Hyung , Lockhart Thurmon
Published: March 2020

As there is lack of understanding about the effect of transitioning between different flooring materials on the gait of older adults, this study investigated the effect of transitioning between a carpeted floor and a vinyl floor on the gait characteristics of older adults. Fourteen older (65 years old and over) and 14 younger (18 to 35 years old) adults walked on different transitional floors by measuring various gait parameters. While the older participants had greater toe clearance than their younger counterparts, the older participants had smaller toe clearance on a carpeted floor than on a vinyl floor, which would increase the probability of a trip-induced fall. Further, the study found the slower transitional acceleration of the whole body COM and the increased friction demand, especially during the toe-off phase, rather than heel contact phase, which will lead to a slip-induced fall on a vinyl floor shortly after transitioning from a carpeted floor to a vinyl floor. Although the increased likelihood of a slip or trip accident was found throughout the changes in gait parameters, the older participants did not perceive of slipping and tripping much. Therefore, older adults are recommended to be made aware of the danger of slipping and tripping while transitioning between different flooring materials.

Authors: Esmailzadeh Mohammad , Noori Siamak , Aliahmadi Alireza , Nouralizadeh Hamidreza , Bogers Marcel
Published: March 2020

For developing countries to catch up, it is vital that they develop emerging technologies and the system that supports that development. The literature suggests developing a technological innovation system (TIS) framework to investigate the development of technologies in a country. Nonetheless, most of this research focuses on developed countries without taking into account developing countries. Therefore, in this paper, we have two main goals. First, reviewing the indicators introduced to the functional analysis of TISs and modifying these indicators based on developing countries’ circumstances. Second, applying this framework to the specific case of Iran’s renewable energy program by using these indicators for analyzing Iran’s photovoltaic TIS to identify the problems. Accordingly, we review indicators used for a functional analysis by considering the needs of developing countries, and we propose a list of indicators that can be used for assessing functions in developing countries’ TISs. The results show that, to evaluate some functions of TIS, we need to use new indicators in developing countries. Finally, we propose some policy recommendations to tackle these functional problems.
Land Use, Livestock, Quantity Governance, and Economic Instruments—Sustainability Beyond Big Livestock Herds and Fossil Fuels

Published: March 2020

The production of animal food products is (besides fossil fuels) one of the most important noxae with regard to many of the environmental problems, such as climate change, biodiversity loss or globally disrupted nutrient cycles. This paper provides a qualitative governance analysis of which regulatory options there are to align livestock farming with the legally binding environmental objectives, in particular the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Two innovative governance approaches are developed and compared: a cap-and-trade scheme for animal products and a livestock-to-land ratio. Both instruments are measured against the above-mentioned environmental objectives, taking into account findings from behavioural sciences and typical governance problems. Both approaches are generally suitable as quantity governance in animal husbandry if they are properly designed. In the end, a combination of both approaches proved to be particularly effective ecologically. All of this simultaneously demonstrates, on the basis of a rarely considered but ecologically highly relevant sector, how a quantity governance approach that is based on an easily comprehensible governance unit can function across all sectors and regions.

Published: March 2020

We predicted that people’s knowledge and perceptions about the interconnectedness of natural resources, climate change, economics, and socio-cultural well-being would differ among demographic groups in Washington, DC, USA, so we conducted surveys to test that prediction. We collected demographic data from 455 participants and asked them 26 questions/statements related to natural resources, climate change, economics, and health. We selected education as the focal demographic category and participants were categorized based on their level of educational attainment: (1) completion of high school or less (hereafter “high school”); (2) some trade school or university education beyond high school up to and including completion of a trade school, two-, or four-year degree (hereafter “post-high school”); and (3) completion of a Master’s, professional, or doctoral degree (hereafter “advanced education”). Participants with advanced education reported the highest connection with nature and were more likely to report that their personal welfare depended on the natural community. Participants with the least education were more likely to believe that humans do not have much influence on natural resources and placed more trust in technology and human achievements to control nature and ensure that earth will not become unlivable. Participants with the least education were also more likely to express an interest in local environmental concerns over global, jobs over natural resources, and effects of degraded local natural resources on income, health, and the environment instead of on cultural/social practices, neighborhood aesthetics, and recreation.

Authors: Meireles Mário , Ribeiro Paulo J. G.
Published: March 2020

According to the United Nations, cities will represent two-thirds of the world’s population in 2050, which presents some challenges, especially to the transportation sector. To improve the population’s quality of life and the sustainability of cities, mobility must be sustainable, and cycling will play an important role in achieving this. Literature shows that we can promote cycling with better infrastructures, through multimodality, and through behavioral changes. Promoting the use of bicycles through behavior can involve a number of aspects, but in this work, we explore what a digital platform should have in order to promote and increase bicycle usage, as well as to improve cycling conditions in a city. To evaluate what is needed, we conducted an analysis on different types of digital platforms that are available on the market in order to assess the main characteristics and outputs that they provide to cyclists, as well as the type of information that can and should be added to promote the use of bicycles in cities. Moreover, we also carried out a survey in a Portuguese mid-sized “starter cycling city”, which showed, among other data, the relevance and type of information that a digital platform dedicated to cyclists should have in such types of cities.
Impact of Consumer Environmental Responsibility on Green Consumption Behavior in China: The Role of Environmental Concern and Price Sensitivity
Authors: Yue Beibei , Sheng Guanghua , She Shengxiang , Xu Jiaqi
Published: March 2020

Research on influence factors for green consumption has greatly advanced in recent years. However, little research has explored the effect of consumers’ environmental responsibility on green consumption and how this effect was mediated by environmental concern and moderated by price sensitivity, especially when consumers simultaneously pay close attention to environmental and personal interests. This study investigates the impact of environmental responsibility on green consumption via the mediation of environmental concern and the moderation of price sensitivity. The questionnaire survey method was used to collect data from 680 Chinese consumers via an online questionnaire. The empirical results reveal that environmental responsibility can promote environmental concern and enhance green consumption. Specifically, environmental responsibility has a positive impact on environmental concern and also has different positive effects on green consumption intention. Environmental concern positively affects green consumption intention and plays a partial mediation role in the relationship between environmental responsibility and green consumption intention. Price sensitivity plays a negative moderation role in the relationship among environmental responsibility, environmental concern and green consumption intention. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings were discussed.

Published: March 2020

Vegetation plays an important role in reducing soil erosion. By exploring the allocation and coverage of different types of vegetation, we can improve management practices that can significantly reduce soil erosion. In this experiment, we study runoff and sediment losses on a shrub-grass planted, grass planted, and bare slope under different rainfall intensities. Results showed that the runoff generation time for the three subgrade types decreased as rainfall intensity increased (p < 0.05). The slopes planted with either grass or shrub-grass were able to effectively delay runoff generation. As rainfall intensity increased, the runoff amount increased for all treatments, with runoff in the bare slope increasing the most. The runoff reduction rate from the shrub-grass slope ranged from 54.20% to 63.68%, while the reduction rate from the slope only planted with grass ranged from 38.59% to 55.37%. The sediment yield from the bare slope increased from 662.66 g/m2 (15 mm/h) to 2002.95 g/m2 (82 mm/h) with increasing rainfall intensity in the plot. When compared with the bare slope, both the shrub-grass and planted grass slopes were able to retain an additional 0.9 g/m2 to 4.9 g/m2 of sediment, respectively. An accurate relationship between rainfall intensity, sloped vegetation types, and runoff reduction rate was obtained by regression analysis and validated. These results can provide a reference for improving soil and water conservation via improved vegetation allocation on a sloped roadbed.
Benefit Distribution of Community-Based Infrastructure: Agricultural Roads in Indonesia

Published: March 2020

Infrastructure development is believed to provide economic benefits, but the distribution of these benefits is still a subject of discussion. Previous studies generally discussed the distribution of benefits of large-scale and top-down infrastructure. In contrast, this paper aims to explore the existence and distribution of the benefits of community-based infrastructure development. This study uses a case study approach with quantitative and qualitative methods. The study reveals that agricultural roads provide time saving and cost reduction. However, the benefits obtained by farmers vary depending on the location of agricultural land in relation to the road. Although the distribution of benefits differs, farmers do not perceive this as an injustice since the route of the road is determined by the farmer group. Moreover, the greater benefits received have to be compensated by certain amounts of contributions by each farmer in terms of land release. This study also reveals that the physical-environmental conditions of the road contribute to the variation of benefits. The results of this study provide an insight into the benefit distribution from small-scale and community-based infrastructure. Such community-based infrastructure development has been proven to be effective as a model for investing in local infrastructure development.

Classification of Infrared Objects in Manifold Space Using Kullback-Leibler Divergence of Gaussian Distributions of Image Points
Authors: Ge Huilin , Zhu Zhiyu , Lou Kang , Wei Wei , Liu Runbang , Damaševičius Robertas , Woźniak Marcin
Published: March 2020

Infrared image recognition technology can work day and night and has a long detection distance. However, the infrared objects have less prior information and external factors in the real-world environment easily interfere with them. Therefore, infrared object classification is a very challenging research area. Manifold learning can be used to improve the classification accuracy of infrared images in the manifold space. In this article, we propose a novel manifold learning algorithm for infrared object detection and classification. First, a manifold space is constructed with each pixel of the infrared object image as a dimension. Infrared images are represented as data points in this constructed manifold space. Next, we simulate the probability distribution information of infrared data points with the Gaussian distribution in the manifold space. Then, based on the Gaussian distribution information in the manifold space, the distribution characteristics of the data points of the infrared image in the low-dimensional space are derived. The proposed algorithm uses the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to minimize the loss function between two symmetrical distributions, and finally completes the classification in the low-dimensional manifold space. The efficiency of the algorithm is validated on two public infrared image data sets. The experiments show that the proposed method has a 97.46% classification accuracy and competitive speed in regards to the analyzed data sets.
Purified Vero Cell Rabies Vaccine (PVRV, Verorab®): A Systematic Review of Intradermal Use Between 1985 and 2019
Authors: Moulenat Thomas , Petit Céline , Bosch Castells Valérie , Houillon Guy
Published: March 2020

The purified Vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV; Verorab®, Sanofi Pasteur) has been used in rabies prevention since 1985. Evolving rabies vaccination trends, including shorter intradermal (ID) regimens with reduced volume, along with WHO recommendation for ID administration has driven recent ID PVRV regimen assessments. Thus, a consolidated review comparing immunogenicity of PVRV ID regimens during pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is timely and beneficial in identifying gaps in current research. A search of seven databases for studies published from 1985 to November 2019 identified 35 studies. PrEP was assessed in 10 studies (n = 926) with 1–3-site, 1–3-visit regimens of up to 3-months duration. Seroconversion (rabies virus neutralizing antibodies [RVNA] ≥ 0.5 IU/mL) rates of 90–100% were reported within weeks, irrespective of regimen, with robust booster responses at 1 year (100% seroconversion rates by day 14 post-booster). However, data are lacking for the current WHO-recommended, 2-site, 1-week ID PrEP regimen. PEP was assessed in 25 studies (n = 2136) across regimens of 1-week to 90-day duration. All ID PEP regimens assessed induced ≥ 99% seroconversion rates (except in HIV participants) by day 14–28. This review confirms ID PVRV suitability for rabies prophylaxis and highlights the heterogeneity of use in the field.
Exploring Light Sterile Neutrinos at Long Baseline Experiments: A Review
Authors: Palazzo Antonio
Published: March 2020

Several anomalies observed in short-baseline neutrino experiments suggest the existence of new light sterile neutrino species. In this review, we describe the potential role of long-baseline experiments in the searches of sterile neutrino properties and, in particular, the new CP-violation phases that appear in the enlarged 3 + 1 scheme. We also assess the impact of light sterile states on the discovery potential of long-baseline experiments of important targets such as the standard 3-flavor CP violation, the neutrino mass hierarchy, and the octant of θ 23 .
The Application of the Seismic Cone Penetration Test (SCPTU) in Tailings Water Conditions Monitoring
Authors: Tschuschke Wojciech , Gogolik Sławomir , Wróżyńska Magdalena , Kroll Maciej , Stefanek Paweł
Published: March 2020

The safe operation of the large, outflow Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF) requires comprehensive and continuous threat monitoring. One of the basic kinds of threat monitoring is to monitor the water conditions in deposited tailings, which is usually carried out using a conventional piezometric observation method from a network of installed piezometers. In complex tailings storage conditions, the reliability of the piezometric method may be questioned. The Seismic Cone Penetration Test (SCPTU) can meet high test standards. The results of the penetration tests closely identify conditions of sediments that determine the tailings water regime verified locally on the basis of pore water pressure dissipation tests. On the other hand, seismic measurements perfectly complement the characteristics of sediments in terms of their saturation. The analysis of the results of SCPTU implemented in the tailings massif also showed that below the phreatic surface, a zone of not fully saturated tailings can be found. Its presence improves the stability conditions of the tailings massif and dams, but also limits the possibility of the static liquefaction of tailings.
222Rn Concentration in Groundwaters Circulating in Granitoid Massifs of Poland

Published: March 2020

The authors’ research has shown that the maximum values of 222Rn activity concentration in all granitoid massifs of Poland exceed 100 Bq·L−1, i.e. the value allowed for waters intended for human consumption. Such waters should be de-radoned prior to being distributed through the water supply networks. Even more common in these areas is the occurrence of potentially medicinal radon waters, i.e. waters characterized, in accordance with Polish law, by radon activity concentration of at least 74 Bq·L−1. Such waters may be used for balneotherapeutic treatments. For the Karkonosze, Strzegom-Sobótka, Kłodzko-Złoty Stok and Kudowa massifs, the range of hydrogeochemical background of 222Rn exceeds both 74 and 100 Bq·L−1. This indicates common occurrence in these areas of both potentially medicinal radon waters and waters which require de-radoning before being supplied for human consumption. More than 50% of groundwaters from the Karkonosze granite area contain over 100 Bq·L−1 of 222Rn. This means that these waters are mostly radon and high-radon waters. The remaining massifs contain predominantly low-radon waters and radon-poor waters. The 222Rn concentrations obtained by the authors are comparable to values measured in groundwaters in other granitoid massifs in the world, creating both problems and new application possibilities.

Binary Decision Diagrams or BDD are data structure used to represent single and multi-output digital circuits. BDD mapped adder circuits are used to represent different adder functions in a digital system. Optimization of adder circuits are done by optimizing the corresponding BDDs. In this work the optimization of BDD Mapped adder circuits are proposed by using genetic algorithm with position-based crossover-PX technique. The main feature of position-based crossover technique is that it is suitable for order-based solution formation. We compared our result with other existing variable order method available in BDD manipulation tool BuDDy-2.4. The result is obtained for Full Adder circuits of 1 to 8-bit size. Experimental results show the improvement of the proposed work over other techniques. The result is quite significant for large circuits i.e. full adder circuit having larger bit size.

Video Analytics applications like security and surveillance face a critical problem of person re-identification abbreviated as re-ID. The last decade witnessed the emergence of large-scale datasets and deep learning methods to use these huge data volumes. Most current re-ID methods are classified into either image-based or video-based re-ID. Matching persons across multiple camera views have attracted lots of recent research attention. Feature representation and metric learning are major issues for person re-identification. The focus of re-ID work is now shifting towards developing end-to-end re-Id and tracking systems for practical use with dynamic datasets. Most previous works contributed to the significant progress of person re-identification on still images using image retrieval models. This survey considers the more informative and challenging video-based person re-ID problem, pedestrian re-ID in particular. Publicly available datasets and codes are listed as a part of this work. Current trends which include open re-identification systems, use of discriminative features and deep learning is marching towards new applications in security and surveillance, typically for tracking.

Immunological and Epidemiological Aspects of the Immunogenicity of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Serotype 3 Capsular Polysaccharide in Pneumococcal Vaccines
Authors: Zaitsev A. E. , Kurbatova E. A. , Egorova N. B. , Sukhova E. V. , Nifantiev N. E.
Published: March 2020

The introduction of pneumococcal vaccines into national immunization programmes around the world has reduced the incidence of pneumococcal vaccine serotypes, but had no influence on the incidence of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 included in their composition. The results of evaluation of epidemiological efficacy and immunogenicity of capsular polysaccharide of S. pneumoniae serotype 3 capsular polysaccharide (CP) in conjugated and polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccines are contradictory. Some studies have shown the effectiveness of vaccination, other studies indicate insufficient immunogenicity and prophylactic efficacy of S. pneumoniae serotype 3 CP. The authors’ analysis of the results of clinical studies showed that the prophylactic efficacy of S. pneumoniae serotype 3 CP depends on the type of vaccine, nosological form of the disease, age, immunization schedule. According to the literature data, the most informative parameter of the protective activity of S. pneumoniae CP in pneumococcal vaccines, including serotype 3, is opsonophagocytosis. The experimental data of the low immunogenicity of serotype 3 CP, presumably associated with an unusual way of synthesis of its CP, are considered. To increase the im muno genicity of S. pneumoniae serotype 3 CP, the use of synthetic oligosaccharides of a strictly defined chemical structure corresponding to the protective fragments of serotype 3 CP and conjugated with a carrier protein for induction of T-dependent immune response and immunological memory is promising.

Published: March 2020

Soil degradation and erosion loss due to inadequate management pose a serious threat to agricultural productivity and contribute to the aggravation of environmental impacts. Soil, vegetative and mechanical practices of soil conservation are being developed to assist in the attenuation of these problems. The present research was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effect of mulching in the conversation of a sandy loam soil in the state of Mato Grosso. The study was developed under field conditions at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Rondonópolis Campus and a completely randomized design with two treatments, with and without vegetation cover, where soil temperature, spontaneous plant quantification, soil moisture and relative humidity of the soil surface. It was verified that mulching kept the soil with a temperature gradient around two degrees lower than the uncovered treatment, besides reducing the emergence of spontaneous plants in 36 times and raising soil moisture by approximately four degrees, but not had an effect on soil surface moisture. Therefore, the use of mulch is an advantageous practice, which improves the hydrothermal characteristics of the soil and reduces the incidence of spontaneous plants

Deep Ore Zone (DOZ) Mine is an underground mine with block caving method within The East Erstberg Skarn System (EESS) deposit. Safe ground condition is the most important thing on production stage related to safety of employees and property in underground. Rockfall is one of fatal risks for employees who work in underground. It happens when ground deformation getting worse. The deformation monitoring is a needed to observe the behavior of rock mass, early detection of hazards, and evaluate current ground support system. The damaged ground in DOZ Mine on production stage is mainly caused by stress around the pillar. It has related to the lifetime of DOZ Mine approximate 3 years left. No mucking activity causes rock wegdes above the pillar and total load for pillars strength. There is maximum stress and strain rock of pillar which it will be broken ground when the stress and strain pass through the maximum value. The type categories of damaged are slight damage, moderate damage, heavy damaged, and squeeze or collapse ground. Those damaged type have to be recorded on a damaged area map for a comparison with other monitoring data. Convergence measurement is one of methods to monitor ribs ground displacement. Strain in rock masses represents its change in length from its orginal length. Convergence measurement is one of methods to monitor ground displacement, especially the strain between two ribs on a panel. The station installed on each ribs of drawpoint of active panel and fix facilities area. The significant value of displacement by convergence measurement is more than cummulative 75 mm. Based on those informations, the ground support dan panel rehabilitation can be consider needed or not. The area with significant value and oberserved damaged ground will be proposed a rehabilitation for safety work area. For example, we found increasing trend displacement followedby moderate damaged observed. The significant displacement found at Panel 04around Drawpoint 18W to 19W. We proposed a rehabilitation for this area after aweek from the day of significant displacement measurement. Rehabilitation hasproposed when the increasing trend was higher to prevent ground become broken or unsafe condition.

Published: March 2020

Endapan batubara memiliki karakteristik berupa kontinuitas spasial yang relatif homogen mengikuti bidang perlapisannya. Karakteristik spasial dari kualitas dan kuantitas seam batubara tersebut dapat diolah berdasarkan data sebaran titik bor. Jika seam batubara memiliki karakteristik kualitas dan kuantitas yang relatif homogen secara spasial maka data disebut stasioner. Namun dalam beberapa kasus data kualitas dan kuantitas seam batubara terkadang memiliki pola yang tidak homogen melainkan memiliki trend tertentu yaitu nilai data cenderung naik atau turun ke arah tertentu secara spasial yang membuatnya menjadi tidak stasioner. Hal tersebut terjadi karena pengaruh faktor geologi tertentu pada saat atau setelah proses pengendapannya. Dalam penelitian ini dibahas mengenai solusi untuk estimasi sumberdaya batubara pada data kualitas dan kuantitas yang tidak stasioner dengan cara mengelompokkan data sebaran titik bor menjadi beberapa bagian secara spasial untuk mengurangi pengaruh trend tersebut. Estimasi sumberdaya batubara dilakukan dengan 2 (dua) pendekatan geostatistik yaitu Ordinary Kriging (OK) dan Kriging with Trend (KT) baik pada seluruh data maupun pada data yang telah dikelompokkan. Hasil estimasi menunjukkan bahwa relative error yang diperoleh, baik dengan OK maupun KT berbeda pada setiap kelompok data. Pendekatan yang memberikan relative error paling kecil akan direkomendasikan untuk estimasi sumberdaya pada data kualitas dan kuantitas batubara yang tidak stationer. Studi kasus yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah salah satu seam batubara di Formasi Balikpapan untuk data ketebalan dan sulfur total.

Authors: Šilhán Karel , Pánek Tomáš , Hradecký Jan
Published: March 2020

There is a lack of information about enabling and triggering factors of debris flows in the densely populated coastal slopes of the Crimean Mountains. In such respect, it is useful to reconstruct a chronology of historical debris flow events and correlate them with time series of relevant meteorological characteristics. We utilized dendrogeomorphological methods using 566 individuals of Pinus nigra for inferring age of 215 debris flow events. The oldest event is dated to 1701 and the highest decadal frequency of debris flows (20 events) is determined to 1940s. Long periods with anomalously low temperatures generating sufficient amount of debris are a major factor enabling debris flow. The dominant triggering factor for regional (multiply) debris flow events are long-term periods with above-average precipitations, but local (isolated) events are more related to short-term periods (~one month) with above-average precipitations.

Las dos visiones del médico español de la época de Galdós
Authors: W. Stannard Michael
Published: March 2020

Los médicos que Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) retrata en sus novelas son, la mayoría, figuras idealizadas. Fuentes contemporáneas muestran que la narrativa histórica dista mucho de su narrativa literaria. Un número excesivo de médicos con una formación mediocre competían encarnizadamente entre sí y con un nutrido número de curanderos y charlatanes. La aceptación de los avances médicos del extranjero fue lenta. Tras 1868, apareció una generación de especialistas cosmopolitas motivados por el positivismo y el liberalismo, algunos de ellos eran amigos de Galdós. Éste transfiere el prestigio de sus amigos médicos a sus personajes médicos para así promover los valores en los que creía.
Extremo Occidente. La representación de España en las crónicas de viajeros chinos (1866-1911)
Authors: Ai Qing
Published: March 2020

Las crónicas de viajeros chinos por occidente se pusieron de moda en los últimos veinte años del siglo XIX como recurso para conocer el mundo en China. Las narraciones muestran un desarrollo que va desde la total ignorancia de ese territorio hasta una detallada observación de la sociedad. España se representa uniformemente como un país tradicionalmente poderoso, pero ya en decadencia y de menor importancia. Asimismo, las crónicas de viaje dan cuenta, desde una perspectiva china, de los problemas políticos y sociales del país ibérico. De esta manera, el encuentro de los viajeros chinos con España proporciona una visión invertida del discurso colonial.

The purpose of this study is to know the correlation of agility, speed and motivation of training on the ability to dribble futsal in the futsal student unit STKIP Pasundan Cimahi. The study was conducted on 28 research samples using the correlation method. To collect data the author uses tests and questionnaires. Tests carried out to measure agility are circuit training, tests to measure speed are 20 meters running and tests to measure dribbling skills are boomerang tests. The results of this study are: First, there is a positive and significant correlation of agility to the ability of dribbling with a correlation coefficient of 0.67 and a large index of determination of 44.89%. Second, there is a positive and significant correlation of agility to the ability to dribble with a correlation coefficient of 0.484 and a large index of determination of 23.43%. Third, there is a positive and significant correlation of agility to the ability to dribble with a correlation coefficient of 0.398 and a large index of determination of 15.84%. Fourth, there is a positive and significant correlation together from the variable of agility, speed and ability to dribble with a correlation coefficient of 0.517 and a large index of determination of 28.05%. From the results of data analisys it can be concluded that to improve the ability of dribbling can be done physically by practicing student agility and speed while psychologically by increasing motivation to practice.

Authors: Lengkana Anggi Setia
Published: March 2020

In this study the authors sought one form of test that has a relationship with short-distance running speeds of 400 meters. One form of test that is predicted to have a relationship to 400 meters running speed is the Harvard step up test. The test aims to measure the level of efficiency of heart, lung function, and endurance of leg muscles. This is when associated with 400 meters running speed has a significant relationship, because when performing 400 meters running, the leg muscles must have endurance speed and also supported by maximum pulmonary heart work. Based on this explanation, the writer is interested in proving it through a research process that will be tried on junior high school male students. The author formulates the problem, namely how much is the relationship between the ability of students to do the Harvard test on the running speed of 400 meters. The research hypothesis was formulated that the Harvard test had a significant relationship to 400 meters running speed. To prove this hypothesis, the author uses the descriptive method of Population and the sample used as the unit of analysis is all male students of class VII of SMP Negeri 1 Tanjungsari, amounting to 143 people. Samples were taken as many as 30 students. The instrument used in the form of a Harvard step up test and 400 meters run test. Referring to the results of the data processing of the results of tests conducted in class VII of SMP Negeri 1 Tanjungsari, conclusions can be drawn as follows: (1) Harvard test has a significant relationship to the speed of running distance of 400 meters in male students of class VII of SMP Negeri 1 Tanjungsari. This is proven by testing the hypothesis by comparing the value of t arithmetic with t table, where t arithmetic> t table = 8,491> 2.763, so that the hypothesis testing shows significant results. (2) The magnitude of the correlation coefficient between the ability of Harvard tests with the results of a 400-meter run test, the correlation (r) shows the value of 0.85, so that the magnitude of the coefficient of determination (KD) is 72.25%. Thus the null hypothesis is rejected (H0) and the research hypothesis is accepted (Ha)
