The Structure of Academic Self-Concept: A Methodological Review and Empirical Illustration of Central Models
Authors: Arens A. Katrin , Jansen Malte , Preckel Franzis , Schmidt Isabelle , Brunner Martin
Published: November 2020

The structure of academic self-concept (ASC) is assumed to be multidimensional and hierarchical. This methodological review considers the most central models depicting the structure of ASC: a higher-order factor model, the Marsh/Shavelson model, the nested Marsh/Shavelson model, a bifactor representation based on exploratory structural equation modeling, and a first-order factor model. We elaborate on how these models represent the theoretical assumptions on the structure of ASC and outline their inherent psychometric properties. We analyzed these models using a data set of German 10th-grade students (N = 1,232) including a wide range of domain-specific ASCs as well as general ASC. The correlations among ASCs and between ASCs and academic achievement varied depending on the structural model used. We conclude with discussing recommendations for research purposes and advantages and limitations of each ASC model. Our approach may also guide research on other affective or motivational constructs (e.g., academic anxiety or interest).

Authors: Brizgalov G. , Ignatovich L.
Published: November 2020

The aim of this work is to study correlations of the frequencies of SSR markers (Inter Simple Sequence Repeat) and live weight of domestic reindeer. A spectrum of 4 amplicons with a fragment size of 240– 330 bp, 350–430 bp, 440–520 bp and 520–570 bp can be considered specific for the Chukchi breed, since deer of all populations is most common. The variability of SSR markers in populations indicates the similarity between them in most allelic frequencies. This confirms the common origin, economic and breeding use of deer of the Chukchi breed. Loci No. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 are positively associated with each other, while with other loci they have the opposite correlation direction of communication. For all sex and age groups of deer, loci no. 3 (240– 330 bp), no. 4 (330–350) and no. 5 (350–430) are characterized by a moderately crowded inverse relationship with an indicator of live weight. The average value of the correlation coefficient for these loci was equal to: -0.603; -0.648 and -0.646, respectively. By loci No. 6 (440–520 bp), No. 7 (520–570) and No. 8 (650–690), on the contrary, a direct in action and medium in magnitude connection was noted, the correlation coefficient for these loci an average of 0.266; 0.597 and 0.559, respectively. The data obtained allow us to identify trends in the correlation conjugacy of ISSR markers and live weight, and to reduce the search space for genes whose polymorphism is associated with live weight variability in Chukchi populations. Using the analysis of variance, a reliable influence of the «farm» factor (ecology + farm conditions) on the frequency of occurrence of a DNA fragment with an average value of the influence force ηx² = 65,9% was established. The correlation ratio ηx= 0.811 confirms the presence of a close relationship between the attributes.
The relationship between conformation traits and indicators of meat productivity of crossbred cattle
Authors: Kustova S.
Published: November 2020

Ensuring food security of the country and individual regions is an important state task. In the Magadan Region the consumption of meat and meat products per capita per year is 68% of the recommended norm. In the structure of meat production, cattle occupy 16.4% of the total volume (or 107 tons). Where in the region have the necessary conditions for the development of beef cattle breeding. The relevance of the study is determined by the ability to predict indicators characterizing the meat productivity of livestock. The work was carried out to establish the relationship between exterior development and economically valuable traits of cross-breeding animals obtained by breeding dairy cattle with producers of meat breeds (Hereford, AberdeenAngus) in the circumstances of the Magadan Region. Correlation analysis revealed a strong reliable interdependence between live weight at 17 months with height at the withers and sacrum at 4 months age in groups of second-generation crossbred gobies with a correlation coefficient from 0.74 to 0.85. A positive relationship of varying strength (from weak to medium) of live weight with the measurements of the chest in all four experimental groups was established. The paired linear regression coefficients found during the regression analysis allow us to conclude that the most important criteria for selecting bulls for meat fattening are height measurements at the withers and in the sacrum. Models of multiple linear regressions describing the relationship of live weight and slaughter indicators with the exterior measurements of animals are constructed to determine the complex influence of factors.

Authors: Marenuk O.B. , Korniychuk O.V. , Doroshchuk V.O.
Published: November 2020

Purpose. One of the main factors holding back the increase in spring barley yield is high soil acidity in the Forest-Steppe and Polissya natural zone of Ukraine. Aluminum is a major toxic factor of acidic soils. Therefore, one of the ways to increase the yield of barley is to create aluminum-resistant varieties of this crop. These studies are aimed at obtaining, highlighting the results of work and determining the prospects of selection for the creation of varieties of spring barley, tolerant to the effects of edaphic stress of high soil acidity. Methods. Field (phenological observations and accounting), laboratory (establishment of aluminostability of collection varieties), biometric and measuring-weight (for accounting of productivity and yield), mathematical and statistical (objective evaluation of the obtained experimental data). Results. Research on the evaluation and creation of promising breeding material and varieties adapted to high soil acidity was conducted in the experimental fields of the Institute of Feed Research and Agriculture of Podillya of NAAS (2013-2019). According to the results of the research conducted in the laboratory, the potential 73 aluminium resistant varieties of spring barley were established, and the results of verification of the obtained data in the field against the background of natural high soil acidity were shown. The obtained research results made it possible to select samples that are potential donors of tolerance to the toxic effects of Al3+ ions and high soil acidity. Promising breeding material of spring barley, tolerant to the effects of edaphic stress of high soil acidity, which is effectively used in the creation of new varieties of spring barley has been cteated. Conclusions. Evaluation of productivity of the studied samples, which were isolated by laboratory evaluation of potential aluminium resistance, in the field on a natural background with high soil acidity (pH 4.3-4.8) confirmed the effectiveness of this method in the selection process, aimed at creation varieties tolerant to cultivation in conditions of highly acid soils.

Published: November 2020

Purpose. To establish the influence of sowing terms and seeding rates on the formation of seed yield of soybean varieties with different growing periods in the Western Forest-Steppe natural zone of Ukraine. Methods. Field experiment, calculation and weight, mathematical statistics. Results. It was found that the studied soybean varieties with different growing periods react differently to growing conditions. Among the studied factors, the seeding rate, more than the sowing period, influenced the formation of soybean seed yield. Inparticular, the studied soybean varieties Diadema Podillya, KiVin, Knyazhna and Khutoryanochka in all terms of sowing, the highest grain yield formed at the seeding rate of 900 thousand germinating seeds per 1 ha, while the Triada variety – at the seeding rate of 700 thousand germinating seed sper 1 ha. The increase in yield compared to the seeding rate of 700 thousand germinated seeds per 1 ha was in the Diadema Podillya variety – 8,9-19,2%, in the KiVin variety – 12,4-15,6%, in the Knyazhna variety – 16,0-22,9% and in the Khutoryanochka variety – 4,2-10,1%. Reducing the seeding rate to 500 thousand germinating seeds led to a decrease in productivity for all sowing periods, in the Diadema Podolia variety – by 15,3-23,7%, in the KiVin variety – by 19,6-26,0%, in the Knyazhna variety – by 13,6-18,3%, in the Khutoryanochka variety – by 9,9-11,0% and in the Triada variety – by 17,8-25,7%. Higher indicators of seed yield all the studied soybean varieties formed during the late sowing period. Conclusions. The studied factors had a significant influence on the formation of seed yield of all soybean varieties that were studied – the timing of sowing and seeding rates, as well as the weather conditions of the growing season. The studied soybean varieties reacted differently to a decrease or increase in the seeding rate, however, higher yield indicators were formed due to the late sowing period.
Substantiation of the criterion of relationship of sugars with starch and structural carbohydrates to crude protein in the rations of cows
Authors: Kulik M.F. , Didorenko T.O. , Zhukov V.P. , Obertiukh Y.V. , Vygovska I.O.
Published: November 2020

Purpose. The past and present interpretation of any ratio of sugar to protein in the diet of cows of different productivity levels is unfounded. The period of sugar fermentation in the first hour after consumption of feed by cows is not subject to discussion, and in the next 6-7 hours before re-distribution of feed starch and pectins are fermented, and then hemicellulose, cellulose (crude fiber). That is, the necessary criterion for combining all fractions of carbohydrates. Methods. The substantiation of the criterion of ratio of sugars with starch and structural carbohydrates to crude protein is based on the ratio of milk protein energy to lactose energy, which is 1 to 1.25 in milk of cows with daily milk yield of 40 l and fermentation period of sugars, starch and structural carbohydrates in rumen. Because the cow rumen is an open system of microbial protein synthesis, the ratio of 1 to 1.25 is intermittent and variable. When fermenting sugar, starch and structural carbohydrates in the rumen, energy losses are known to be 15 % and then the ratio will be 1 to 1.4. The use of ATP similar to the use of energy is within 80 % and the ratio will change from 1 to 1.6. Results. Digestibility of dry corn starch in the rumen is 50 % and other cereals 77-80 %, then we have a total digestibility of 70 %, which will increase by 30 % the need for starch or it will be 6.8 kg. In this analysis of the energy balance, the ratio of crude protein to sugar, starch and part of the structural carbohydrates will be 1 to 1.7, and in natural terms (kg) 1 to 2.2. Free sugars degraded in the rumen for 30 minutes, the remaining time starch and structural carbohydrates at 3-time distribution of animal feed. Conclusions. In the energy balance, the ratio of sugars to starch and structural carbohydrates should be 10 % for sugar, 80 % starch and 10 % structural carbohydrates. For cows with a productivity of 40 liters of daily milk yield in the diet should be 1.5 kg of molasses (0.65 kg of sugar) and 6.8 kg of digestible in the rumen starch of grain components and 10 % of energy during fermentation of structural carbohydrates.
Political Violence and Re-victimization in The Ferryman
Authors: Günenç Mesut
Published: November 2020

Jez
Butterworth’s The Ferryman (2017) is
a play about the Carney family living in 1980s Ireland during the period of the
rebellion of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and its efforts to get rid of
British sovereignty in Northern Ireland, a period known as ‘the Troubles’. This
paper focuses on Jez Butterworth, one of the most distinctive voices of the
contemporary British theatre scene and a typical representative of the 1990s
cultural trend, and his tragedy The
Ferryman, which portrays the struggle and conflicts between Catholic nationalists
and Protestant loyalists in Northern Ireland in the last decades of the
twentieth century. The second major point of the study is that the power of the
Irish Republican Party has a heavy impact on the play. The paper also discovers
how Sean Carney and other members of his family both embody and apply the story
of Eugene Simons and other members of ‘the Disappeared’. Like other young men,
Seamus Carney became a victim during the Troubles and the campaign of political
violence. The discovery of his body symbolizes how political violence created
the Disappeared and shows that re-victimization and re-traumatisation continue
in the aftermath of the Troubles.

The effects from the United States and Japan to emerging stock markets in Asia and Vietnam
Authors: AISDL
Published: November 2020

The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States (U.S.) in mid-2008 suggests that stock prices volatility do spillover from one market to another after international stock markets downturn. The purpose of this paper is to examine the magnitude of return and volatility spillovers from developed markets (the U.S. and Japan) to eight emerging equity markets (India, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand) and Vietnam. Employing a mean and volatility spillover model that deals with the U.S. and Japan shocks and day effects as exogenous variables in ARMA(1,1), GARCH(1,1) for Asian emerging markets, the study finds some interesting findings. Firstly, the day effect is present on six out of nine studied markets, except for the Indian, Taiwanese and Philippine. Secondly, the results of return spillover confirm significant spillover effects across the markets with different magnitudes. Specifically, the U.S. exerts a stronger influence on the Malaysian, Philippine and Vietnamese market compared with Japan. In contrast, Japan has a higher spillover effect on the Chinese, Indian, Korea, and Thailand than the U.S. For the Indonesian market, the return effect is equal. Finally, there is no evidence of a volatility effect of the U.S. and Japanese markets on the Asian emerging markets in this study.

Published: November 2020

Worldwide bike-sharing systems are growing in popularity as an alternative, environmentally friendly mode of transportation. As cities seek to further develop bike-sharing programs, it is important to consider how systems should expand to simultaneously address existing inequalities in accessibility, and best serve demand. In this paper, we determine ideal locations for future bike-sharing stations in Glasgow, Scotland, by integrating demand modelling with accessibility considerations. We began by analyzing the spatio-temporal trends of bike-sharing usage, and assessed the spatial equity of access to stations in Glasgow. To identify important determinants of bike-sharing demand, we ran an ordinary least squares regression model using bike sharing trip data from Nextbike Glasgow. We then quantifiably measured the level of spatial accessibility to stations by applying the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) methodology and ran a GIS weighted overlay analysis using the significant determinants of station demand. Lastly, we combined the demand and accessibility results to determine where new stations should be located using a maximum covering location problem (MCLP) that maximized the population served. Our results show that distance from transit stations, distance from downtown, employment rates, and nearby cycling lanes are significant factors affecting station-level demand. Furthermore, levels of spatial access were found to be highest primarily in the centre and eastern neighbourhood of Glasgow. These findings aided in determining areas to prioritize for future station locations, and our methodology can easily be applied to other bike-share programs with adjustments according to varying aims for system expansion.
ITGβ1 (CD29) is differentially expressed in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most striking transcriptional features of trastuzumab treatment. We identified the cell adhesion molecule integrin β1 (5-9) as among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed significantly higher levels of ITGβ1 messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of ITGβ1 in primary tumors of the breast, suggesting that increased primary tumor expression of ITGβ1 in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer, a molecule whose increased expression in human breast cancer is correlated with overall survival, metastasis and significantly decreased time from diagnosis to death (10, 11), is a direct transcriptional result of treatment with trastuzumab.

Published: November 2020

Increasing research shows that migrants are disproportionally exposed to COVID-19 disease. However, little is known about their lived experience and related meaning-making. This qualitative study maps COVID-19-related experiences among respondents from three migrant groups living in Finland: Somali-, Arabic- and Russian-speakers (N = 209). The data was collected by telephone interviews over four weeks in March and April 2020. Using inductive thematical analysis, we identified seven themes that illustrate respondents’ multifaceted lived experiences during the first phase of pandemic. The themes depict respondents’ difficulties and fears, but also their resilience and resources to cope, both individually and collectively. Experiences varied greatly between individuals and migrant groups. The main conclusion is that although the COVID-19 pandemic may be an especially stressful experience for migrant populations, it may also provide opportunities to deepen cooperation and trust within migrant communities, and between migrants and their country of settlement. Our analysis suggests that cooperation between local authorities and migrants, trust-building and effective information-sharing can foster positive and functional adaptations to disease-related threats and changing social environments.
Maternal depression, child temperament, and early life stress predict never-depressed preadolescents’ functional connectivity during a negative mood induction

Published: November 2020

A better understanding of the development of depression can inform etiology and prevention/intervention. Maternal depression and maladaptive temperamental emotionality (e.g., low positive emotionality [PE] or high negative emotionality, especially sadness) are known to predict depression. While it is unclear how these risks cause depression, altered functional connectivity (FC), particularly during negative emotion processing, may play an important role. We investigated whether maternal depression and age-three emotionality predicted FC during negative mood reactivity in never-depressed preadolescents, and whether these predictive relationships were augmented by early life stress. Maternal depression was associated with decreased mPFC-amygdala and mPFC-insula FC, but increased mPFC-PCC FC. PE was associated with increased dlPFC-amygdala FC while sadness was related to increased PCC-based FC in insula, OFC, and ACC. Further, sadness was more strongly associated with PCC-insula and PCC-ACC FC as early stress increased. Findings indicate that early depression risks may be mediated by FC underlying negative emotion processing.

Two colours dominated the imagery representing social reality in the press of interwar Belarusian Christian Democracy. Various social phenomena, people, or material objects could be perceived as either “good” (“white”) or “evil” (“black”). In the realm of “good” material objects, phenomena, and people, it was actually pragmatism that mattered in the context of what was perceived as useful for the Belarusian nation. The latter was represented in the press as the “moral community”, which included the authors and editors as well as readers and supporters of BChD in rural areas. The realm of material objects is also of interest, as they likewise could be perceived as either “good” or “evil” from the community’s point of view. On the one hand, the objects were the symbols of this community; however, on the other, they could be viewed as powerful protecting fetishes.

The article describes different ways to identify Ruthenian (Ukrainian) women living in the eastern part of the Lublin province. The material was excerpted from the registers of the Uniate parishes of the former Chełm diocese from the period 1596–1810. During the period under study, the anthroponymic system tended towards stabilisation in the form of two-element names in accordance with the [first name] + [surname] pattern. The majority of identification formulas consist of a given name and surname derived semantically or through word formation, although there are also few examples of the use of simple surnameless formulas or more extensive, two- and three-element anthroponymic descriptions used to identify adults.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi determinar se a respiração microbiana e os atributos pedológicos variam conforme a cobertura florestal e se existe especificidade da micro e macrofauna no processo de decomposição da fitomassa de diferentes áreas florestais. Para tanto foram selecionadas três áreas: um talhão de Pinus taeda, um de Eucalyptus dunnii e um fragmento de Floresta Ombrófila Mista Montana, todas no município de Irati, estado do Paraná. Em cada área foram alocados 288 sacos de serapilheira, nos quais 8g de material recém depositado e seco ao ar livre foram confinados. De modo a verificar o efeito da macrofauna, 144 sacos com malha de 1mm e 144 sacos de malha de 5mm foram distribuídos nos trechos de estudo. Os sacos de decomposição continham fitomassa oriunda do próprio sítio e concomitantemente fitomassa das demais áreas. Os resultados comprovaram que os atributos pedológicos e a respiração microbiana (F2;11: 13,2; p<0,01) oscilam significativamente conforme muda a cobertura vegetal. Após 180 dias de material em campo foi constatado que a macrofauna interfere no processo de decomposição (F53;192: 113,06, p<0,01) e que existe uma elevada afinidade entre a macrofauna de cada sítio e a fitomassa produzida.

The article presents the results of a study of the effectiveness of state support for the agricultural sector of the Middle Urals from the perspective of changing the value of the agricultural business. It has been established that over the analyzed period, the value of the agricultural business in this region increased to 36.3 billion rubles. It is proved by arguments that the regional budget should be 3-3.5 times higher than the modern one. But since this is not yet possible under the conditions of a protracted crisis in economic development, it is advisable to develop transitional models for the distribution of available volumes of state support.

The calculations made reflect a weak relationship between the volume of subsidies and the indicators of agricultural production intensification, but at the same time a high focus on the displacement of households and the farming sector in favor of large commodity production in the multi-layered agricultural economy of the regions. stimulate the growth of capital return in agriculture, but only contributes to the introduction of new fixed assets in a narrow group of regions, which account for the main burden of forming the growth of agricultural production in the country.

Over the past 30 years the United States has made significant progress in the development of the biofuel industry. At present US holds a leading position in the global production, consumption and export of first-generation bioethanol, and steadily increasing the production and consumption of first and second generation biodiesel. These successes are based on a state policy aimed at creating domestic demand for transport biofuels and stimulating its production by enterprises located in the United States. The main prerequisites for the implementation of this policy are based on the positive economic and environmental effects that accompany the production and consumption of bioethanol and biodiesel. These include, first of all, the intensification of economic activity in agriculture, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and emissions of pollutants by road, and the diversification of energy consumption patterns. In the Russian Federation, the production and consumption of transport biofuel is currently not carried out on a significant scale. However, the production of first-generation bioethanol can have a positive impact on individual agricultural markets that require the formation of new sources of demand.

Shakespeare’s Orientalism Revisited
Authors: Al-Shetawi Mahmoud F.
Published: November 2020

This article attempts to document and examine the corpus of Arabic and Islamic allusions and references in Shakespeare’s drama and poetry in line with postcolonial discourse and theory. The works of Shakespeare incorporate a large body of Arabic/Islamic matters, which the Bard has gleaned from different sources, such as travel literature, narratives of pilgrims, history annals and common tales of the Crusaders. However, these matters are sporadic in Shakespeare’s works, woven into the fabric of various plays and poems. For example, Shakespeare has thematically used a set of allusions and references to the Arab world such as Arabian trees, the Prophet Mohammed, the Turk, Aleppo, Jerusalem, and many others. Shakespeare has also presented three Oriental characters in his plays: the Prince of Morocco, Shylock and Othello, each with distinctive ethnic and personal traits. A scrutiny of Arabic and Islamic matters in the works of Shakespeare from postcolonial critical perspectives reveals that Shakespeare has a vague idea about Arabs and the Orient at large. Therefore, Shakespeare represents the Orient as the other; his Orient is rather exotic and bizarre, posing as an impending menace to Europe.

BACKGROUND Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is a rare complication of a chronic thoracic aneurysm. An ABF secondary to Disseminated Tuberculous (TB) Aortitis and Takayasu Arteritis (TA) may present with extensive combinations of aneurysms and stenoses in different parts of the arterial system with involvement of other organs. CASE PRESENTATION A 29-year-old Filipino female, married, who was admitted to our institution due to sudden massive hemoptysis. A Computed Tomography of the chest showed pulmonary tuberculosis with lymph node involvement and pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta. The pertinent physical examinations are blood pressure (BP) differential of 20mmhg of upper extremities, painless multiple nodular tongue, multiple cervical, and supraclavicular lymphadenopathies, grade 3/6 holosystolic murmur. On Computed Tomography of the aorta, there are combinations of aneurysms of the mid to distal descending thoracic aorta, distal abdominal aorta, superior mesenteric artery with stenoses of the subclavian and left renal arteries. She was immediately started on anti-TB medications, corticosteroids and was scheduled for aortic aneurysmal repair. However, there was a recurrence of massive hemoptysis leading to her demise. An autopsy of the thorax and abdomen revealed an acute pulmonary hemorrhage, aortobronchial fistula secondary to Disseminated Tuberculous Aortitis and Takayasu Arteritis. CONCLUSION A masked ABF should be suspected in a patient with massive hemoptysis and a pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta. In a young female with disseminated TB aortitis, a concomitant TA should be investigated. Both can share the same clinical, radiological and pathologic features. It is fatal and needs prompt surgical or endovascular intervention.
Kinin B1 receptor is involved in mechanical nociception in a fibromyalgia-like model in mice

Published: November 2020

Fibromyalgia-like models in mice induced by reserpine have opened a new avenue to understanding the molecular mechanisms behind this complex and incapacitating pain syndrome. The kinin B1 receptor (B1R) contributes to mechanical allodynia and acute coping behavior in mice with inflammatory and immunological disorders. This study has replicated previous data where amine depletion induced by reserpine significantly decreased the dopamine and serotonin levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (HPC), and spinal cord of mice. The animals subjected to the reserpine fibromyalgia model also showed decreased paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and increased the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST). Genetic ablation of B1R or pharmacological blockade by selective kinin B1R antagonist R-715 (acute i.p. treatment) counteracted the mechanical allodynia and increased immobility time induced by reserpine. However, neither pharmacological nor genetic inhibition of B1R reversed monoamine depletion. Our data confirm that reserpine induced a fibromyalgia-like phenotype in mice and reiterated the role of B1R on acute coping behavior and nociception modulation.
The effects of pressure biofeedback on hip and trunk muscle activity and lumbopelvic alignment during one-leg standing
Authors: Kim Soo-Yong , Yu Il-Young , Kang Min-Hyeok
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND:

During one-leg standing (OLS), optimum activity of the gluteus medius (Gmed), multifidus (MF), and quadratus lumborum (QL) muscles relies upon maintaining neutral lumbopelvic alignment. However, no studies have examined how using pressure biofeedback during OLS affects the activity of these muscles and the concomitant alignment of the pelvis and trunk.

OBJECTIVES:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pressure biofeedback on the activity of the Gmed, MF, and QL and the femoropelvic and trunk lean angles during OLS.

METHODS:

Twenty-four healthy males performed OLS with (PB[Formula: see text]) and without (PB[Formula: see text]) pressure biofeedback. For all OLS conditions, a pressure sensor was placed between the lateral surface of the humerus on the non-supporting side and the wall. Under the PB[Formula: see text] condition, participants performed preferred OLS while the examiner measured the maximum pressure caused by trunk lean. Under the PB[Formula: see text] condition, participants were asked to perform at a threshold of 50% of the maximal pressure (PB[Formula: see text] 1 condition) and with minimal change in pressure (PB[Formula: see text] 2 condition). Muscle activities of MF, QL, and Gmed as well as the femoropelvic and trunk lean angles were measured under various OLS conditions.

RESULTS:

The activity of the Gmed, MF, and QL was greater under both PB[Formula: see text] conditions than under the PB[Formula: see text] condition ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Also, both PB[Formula: see text] conditions resulted in a greater femoropelvic angle and reduced trunk lean angle. There were no significant differences in muscle activity, femoropelvic angle, or trunk lean angle between PB[Formula: see text] 1 and PB[Formula: see text] 2 ([Formula: see text] 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:

These results suggest that pressure biofeedback is a useful modality for increasing the activity of the Gmed and trunk muscles, especially the MF muscle on the non-supporting leg side, and for preventing compensatory movements such as trunk deviation and pelvic lateral deviation during OLS.
