Los problemas con la imagen corporal y los trastornos que se derivan de la insatisfacción de la misma son cuestiones importantes en la Sociedad actual. La adolescencia es una etapa clave en esta cuestión y son varios los factores que influyen negativamente. Los objetivos de esta investigación son estudiar y valorar la imagen corporal y la condición física para analizar la relación entre ellos, especialmente la composición corporal, durante la implementación de un programa de intervención de ejercicio físico en el ámbito escolar en una muestra de cuarenta y un alumnos y alumnas de sexto de Educación Primaria a lo largo de un curso escolar, mediante un estudio longitudinal de corte quasi-experimental. Los resultados muestran una mejora en el conocimiento corporal y en la condición física, siendo destacada la disminución en el porcentaje graso corporal pero a pesar de la mejora, siguen presentando insatisfacción corporal y deseando una figura más delgada a la percibida, sobre todo en chicas. Concluimos que a pesar del conocimiento expreso de mejora, la insatisfacción corporal continuaba presentándose y entendemos que la influencia del currículum escolar es parcial.

Abstract. Problems with body image and the disorders that result from dissatisfaction with it are important issues in today's society. Adolescence is a key stage in this matter and there are several factors that negatively influence it. The objectives of this research are to study and assess body image and physical condition to analyze the relationship between them, especially body composition, during the implementation of a physical exercise intervention programme in the school environment, in a sample of forty-one students in the sixth year of Primary Education throughout a school year, through a quasi-experimental longitudinal study. The results show an improvement in body awareness and physical condition, being notable the decrease in body fat percentage, but despite the improvement, they continue to present body dissatisfaction and a desire for a slimmer figure than that perceived, especially in girls. We conclude that in spite of an intended improvement of body image, body dissatisfaction continued to appear and we understand that the influence of the school curriculum is partial.

Abstract. The objective of this work was to identify the effect of a morning physical activation program on the school performance of students from elementary school. Participated in the study 131 students with 7.8 ±1.06 years (55 boys y 76 girls). A program of 60 physical activation sessions was developed prior to the school day with a duration of 30 minutes. Qualifications were compared before the program (first bimester) and later (third bimester) of the subjects of Spanish, mathematics and civics and ethics education. Parents provided written informed consent for their children to participate in the study. Normality tests and Student's t tests were performed to compare the results of both bimesters. It was found that the subject with the greatest significant increase in performance was mathematics p = 0.000, the gender of the participants did not influence the results and in the second and fourth grades of primary school, better effects were obtained on the students' grades. Therefore, it is concluded that a physical activation program prior to the school day can influence better academic results in the subject of mathematics in primary education.

The aim of the present study was to verify the acute effect of remote and local IPC application before isometric strength, lumbar and lower limbs manual grip, and upper limbs and trunk muscle endurance tests in recreationally trained individuals. The volunteers were 22 men (age: 26.2 ± 6.9 years, weight: 83.4 ± 11.6 kg, height: 175.4 ± 5.8 cm, BMI: 27.1 ± 3.5 kg.m-2) recreationally trained (4.6 ± 3.3 years) in resistance exercise (RE) that performed three visits on non-consecutive days (three to seven days apart). This was a crossover and randomized study. In the first visit, the Informed Consent Form (ICF) was signed, according to the Declaration of Helsinki, and the PAR-Q was completed. Immediately after, anthropometrics was assessed, followed by familiarization with the tests. At the second and third visits, the volunteers were randomly assigning to the following experimental protocols: a) IPC protocol with 220 mmHg + isometric strength and muscular endurance tests (IPC); or b) control protocol (CON) isometric strength and muscular endurance tests. Isometric handgrip strength was significantly higher in IPC compared to CON (61.59±10.18 vs. 58.95±10.84, 4.47Δ%, p=0.01). Lumbar isometric strength was significantly higher in IPC compared to CON (165.36±22.56 vs. 156.77±22.81, 5.48Δ%, p= 0.01) and lower limbs isometric strength was significantly higher in IPC compared to CON (163.09±22.92 vs. 154.86±21.55, 5.31Δ%, p=0.01). Push-up repetitions were significantly higher in IPC compared to CON (43±12.80 vs. 38.91±13.03,10.51Δ%, p=0.01). The trunk flexion repetitions were significantly higher in the IPC compared to the CON (46.05±13.28 vs. 40.23±11.18, 14.46Δ%, p=0.01). In conclusion, local IPC significantly increased upper limb isometric strength and muscle endurance compared to the control protocol. Remotely, IPC significantly increased lower limb isometric strength, lumbar and trunk flexion muscular endurance compared to the control protocol.

Published: January 2023

Sports management is a field of study that has grown significantly. However, little is known about its structure. Therefore, this article presents an unsupervised cluster learning approach based on a thematic analysis of abstracts. It applies to a large corpus of sports management documents to gain insight into the structure of the discipline. A total of 3,704 records were downloaded from the Scopus database. Data were processed using the BERTopic approach. The results indicate that sports management is a growing and highly collaborative field of study. The themes (or topics) were diversified (25 clusters). Due to their proximity, seven meta topics were also identified. While the interest in major sports events and the social impact of sports tourism has lessened in recent years, other fields of study, such as entrepreneurship, innovation and sports club management, have captured the interest of researchers.

Published: January 2023

O objetivo da presente revisão teórica foi descrever os instrumentos encontrados na literatura científica para avaliar a comunicação de treinadores e treinadoras de futebol. A comunicação dos treinadores e treinadoras influencia diretamente os comportamentos dos jogadores e jogadoras. Portanto, torna-se necessário avaliar como é realizada a comunicação durante as sessões de treinamento e competições. Para identificar e categorizar cada informação emitida pelos treinadores na sua prática tem sido utilizado o método da observação sistemática. Diversos instrumentos de observação sistemática foram apresentados na literatura ao longo dos anos. Nota-se uma evolução dos instrumentos com o passar do tempo e com os avanços tecnológicos, o que permitiu uma avaliação mais detalhada acerca da comunicação de treinadores e treinadores de futebol. Dessa forma, para escolher um instrumento de observação sistemática é importante levar em consideração suas características particulares, as necessidades do contexto e as reais possibilidades de aplicação.

Experiência profissional e formação académica dos profissionais de exercício físico: relação das pressões no trabalho com as necessidades psicológicas básicas no contexto laboral
Authors: Cerca Luis , Teixeira Diogo , Carraça Eliana , Raposo Frederico , Silva Marlene , Palmeira Antonio
Published: January 2023

A importância do setor fitness na oferta de oportunidades para a promoção do exercício está alicerçada em profissionais qualificados, competentes e responsáveis pela dinâmica de prescrição e motivação do exercício. Com base na teoria da autodeterminação, este estudo examinou a interação entre as pressões percecionadas no trabalho e a motivação em profissionais de fitness. Os dados foram coletados de 366 profissionais do exercício (172 mulheres), usando um desenho transversal. Questionários avaliando a Perceção da Pressão de Trabalho (PJP) (organizacional; interno e clientes) e a Satisfação das Necessidades Psicológicas Básicas (BPNS) foram preenchidos online. A análise correlacional e de regressão foi usada para testar o modelo hipotético. Os resultados demonstram não haver associação entre qualificação profissional e níveis de pressão na BPNS. No entanto, é importante destacar que os níveis de pressão organizacionais estiveram negativamente associados à satisfação do total da BPNS (autonomia, competência e relacionamento positivo). Mais anos de experiência foram associados a menores valores de pressão e maior satisfação da competência. Em relação ao gênero, pressões e sua relação na BPNS, os homens apresentam uma maior satisfação das BPNS. As pressões organizacionais apresentam associações negativas com a satisfação das BPNS nos profissionais. Os resultados têm implicações teóricas e práticas: os líderes devem estar cientes do impacto negativo da pressão organizacional e a associação negativa com a satisfação das BPNS. O desenvolvimento de equipas com profissionais mais jovens e experientes, com reconhecimento e remuneração adequados, deve ser implementado como uma estratégia inclusiva, transmitindo segurança e confiança no futuro do setor fitness.

Pole dance: More than sport. An insight in portuguese reality
Authors: Sousa Jenny , Oliveira Lisete
Published: January 2023

Pole dancing is a sport with a specific competition code of points, divisions and categories, rules and penalties. However there are other reasons beyond the practice of sport that led individuals to seek and maintain in pole dance. This modality presents unique characteristics that distinguish it from other sport activities and is gathering more and more support in Portuguese context. As so, and given the few studies devoted to Portuguese reality, the aim of this investigation was to deepen the knowledge about the practice of pole dancing in Portugal, knowing the motivations that lead the individuals to initiate themselves in this modality, the benefits and the motives they recognize to continue practicing. In data collection, the questionnaire survey was privileged, made with closed-answer and open-answer questions, addressed to Portuguese pole dancing schools and to the Associação Portuguesa de Varão Desportivo (APVD), having participated in the study a total of 99 persons. The results obtained through statistical content analysis, revealed that the motives to initiate this practice are varied and reflect some lack of knowledge of this modality, as curiosity and the wish to experience something new and that it is disruptive emerges as primary purposes. When benefits are addressed, psychological, physical and social gains emerge. When referring the motives to stay in the pole dance, personal overcoming is highlighted as the main reason.

En las últimas décadas diversos estudios han mostrado los efectos positivos de la práctica de ejercicio físico sobre los niveles atencionales. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue conocer los efectos del ejercicio físico aeróbico de diversos intervalos de tiempo e intensidades sobre los niveles de atención selectiva y sostenida en estudiantes universitarios. Para ello se aplicó la prueba de Toulouse-Piéron a 63 varones estudiantes de la carrera de Pedagogía en Educación Física antes y después de una intervención con diferentes duraciones e intensidades de trabajo aeróbico. Los resultados muestran que el ejercicio físico aeróbico de 10, 20 y 30 minutos de duración con una intensidad del 65%-80% de la frecuencia cardíaca máxima provocan mejoras de los niveles de atención selectiva y sostenida. Se propone generar espacios en el contexto universitario para que el estudiantado pueda practicar diferentes actividades físicas que logren dichas intensidades en los tiempos donde se encontraron efectos positivos en la función cognitiva estudiada.

ERDEM AHLAKINDAN KARAKTER EĞİTİMİNE: MAKBUL İNSAN YETİŞTİRMENİN KISA TARİHİ
Authors: ÇAKIR Ogün , DOĞAN Midarbi Cihangir
Published: January 2023

Karakter kavramının eğitime konu oluşu eğitim kavramının özünde birey yetiştirmenin olmasının doğal bir sonucudur; zira her toplumda sağduyulu bireyler yetiştirmek bakımından çocuklarda karakter eğitimine önem vermek eğitimin temel uğraşı olagelmiştir. Karakter kavramının bireysel ve toplumsal yönünün değer ve ahlak kavramlarıyla ilişkilendirilmesi neticesinde, karakter eğitimi için; “bireylerin kişiliğini temsil eden, ahlakî yaşamına yön veren beceri ve eğilimlerinin geliştirilmesi” veya “bireylerin erdem sahibi, zorbalıktan uzak duran, iş birliği ve uyum içinde yaşayan, toplum tarafından kabul gören kimseler olarak donatılmaları süreci” şeklinde tanımlar yapılmaktadır. Antik batı ve doğu düşüncesinde erdem sahibi olma/olmama bakımından bireyin ahlakî durumuna işaret eden karakterli olma hali, sadece bireysel farklılıkları değil bireyi ahlakî açıdan takdire şayan kılan özelliklerin kombinasyonunu betimlemede kullanılmıştır. Ancak eğitim müfredatlarına konu oluşu ve sistematik bir şekilde yürütülmesi bağlamında karakter eğitiminin köklerini ancak Amerikan tarihinin kolonyal döneminde bulmak mümkün olur. Dolayısıyla, özünde her zaman birey yetiştirme anlayışının yer aldığı eğitim düşüncesinin, bu yetiştirme sürecinin nasıl yürütüleceğine dair yol haritalarını teşkil eden programlar eşliğinde toplumsal yaşam pratiklerine aktarılmasıyla birlikte, “makbul birey” yetiştirme anlayışının da olgunlaşmasına tanıklık ettiği söylenebilmektedir. İlgili alanyazının incelenerek çalışma konusu kapsamında derlendiği bu araştırmanın amacı; günümüz eğitim müfredatlarının örtük iskeletini teşkil eden karakter eğitimi uygulamalarının Antik Çağ'dan günümüze dek süregelen değişim ve gelişimini erdem, ahlak ve kişilik kavramlarıyla ilişkileri bağlamında ortaya koymak ve karakter eğitiminin çağdaş pedagoji yaklaşımlarındaki konumundan hareketle alanyazına eleştirel bir bakış açısı kazandırmaktır.
Türkiye’de enerji bağımlılığı ile cari açık arasındaki ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi
Authors: İnançlı Selim , Akı Aylin
Published: January 2023

Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde kalkınma ve ekonomik büyüme sürecine bağlı olarak sanayileşmenin hız kazanması ve teknolojik faaliyetlerin yoğunlaşması ile enerjiye olan ihtiyacın artmasına neden olmuştur. Enerji tüketiminde artış, birincil enerji kaynakları yeterli düzeyde olmayan ülkelerde enerji ithalatı, bağımlılığı ve cari açık surekli olarak artış göstermiştir. Fosil enerji arzı yetersiz olan Türkiye’ nin kalkınma hızını arttırabilmek için GSYİH’ nın önemli bir kısmını dış enerji girdilerine harcamak zorunda kalmaktadır. Bu da enerjide dış bağımlılığın ve cari açığın art-masında etkili olmaktadır. Çalışmada, 1990-2020 yıllarını kapsayan dönemde enerji bağımlılığı ile cari açık ilişkisi ADF, PP ve LS Birim Kök, Hacker ve Hatemi-J Simetrik ve zamanla değişen nedensellik testleriyle analiz edilmiş-tir. Test sonuçlarına göre 1995-2007, 2000-2010 ve 2010-2020 dönemleri için enerji bağımlılığından cari açığa, 1998-2007 ve 2008-2017 dönemler için ise cari açıktan enerji bağımlılığına doğru nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’ de kalkınma ve ekonomik büyüme hedeflerinin gerçekleştirilebilmesi için enerji politikalarını alternatif enerji yatırımlarına doğru yapılması, enerji kaynaklarının çeşitlendirilmesi ve verimliliğinin arttırılması gerekmektedir. Bunun için alternatif enerji yatırımlarının ve üretiminin arttırılması ile enerji bağımlılı-ğının ve cari açığın azaltılması mümkün olabilecektir.

Objectives: To explore the geographic determinants of gestational diabetes in eastern DRC and to seek confounding factors. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with a multicenter analytical aim conducted in the hot and cold season from April 2019 to February 2021. Included were 392 pregnant women at 24-28 weeks of amenorrhea. Blood glucose, cortisol, SO2, anthropometric measurements, 30 previous day’s temperature, altitude and atmospheric pressure (atm) were examined. The glycaemia ≥92mg/dL was pathological, in which case cortisolaemia was measured after matching with normal glycaemia. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 by calculating median, proportion, ANOVA, Pearson's Chi2 or Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon -Mann–Whitney test. Results: The proportion of 23.8%, 37.4%, 13.8% and 25.0% of 392 pregnant women lived respectively at the altitude of 1400 m, 1500m, 1700m and 2419m. Pathological glycaemia was twice higher at < 1700 m = atm > 82% [32.9% (n = 295)] Vs ≥ 1700 m [15.0% (n = 295)] [OR 2.2 95% CI (1.5- 3.2)] (p<0.001)] and at SO2 > 95% [30.8% (n= 331)] Vs SO2 ≤ 95% [15.3% (n= 144)] [OR 2.0 95% CI (1.3 - 3.1)] (p < 0.001). Cases with pathological glycaemia had elevated cortisol [281.1 nmol/L (87.6)] (n=118) Vs normal glycaemia [261.1 nmol/L (71.1)] (n= 156)] (p= 0.024). Conclusion: The prevalence of pathological glycaemia was higher at <1700 m altitude corresponding to the atm > 82% and when the SO2 was >95%. After adjustment, blood glucose was no longer correlated with temperature.
INVESTIGATING THE POSSIBILITY OF DOMESTICATING ZAKARIA'S TRANSLATION OF THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA WITH REFERENCE TO SHAQARAH COMMUNITY
Authors: Shabis Qasim Hussein Qasim
Published: January 2023

One of the most stimulating problems presented by domesticating a literary text to English-Arabic translators, is the translation of Proper names, locations, and cultural-bound terms. This study examines the possibility of domesticating the foreign elements related to these problems in Ziad Zakariya's translation of Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea. Along with the original work, this translation was chosen for the study. Proper names, locations, and culturally bound terms were extracted from the translation, along with examples of their original equivalences. The work was then analyzed by performing a page-by-page content analysis. The results show that, despite the translator's use of dynamic equivalence, his translation retains some source characteristics. According to the study, these remaining characteristics can be domesticated in order to be domesticated to be in harmony with Shaqarah community

Authors: Abdul Aziz Mohamed Shamir , Asmawi M Zainora , Mahamod Lukman Hakim
Published: January 2023

The term microcredit finance refers to the provision of access to various financial services such as credit, savings, micro insurance, remittances as well as leasing to the poor or the low-income households. The purpose is to allow them to grow and support their small-sized businesses and eventually increase their level of income and standard of living. This study is about the methods of developing a framework for rural community that is categorised as B40 society to elevate their household income from the perspective of AIM members or formally called Sahabat.  AIM provides small scale financial services and trainings to the poor and hard core poor households to improve their socio-economic conditions. Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the economic level and needs of Sahabat of AIM who are categorized as B40 rural society and to propose a sustainable microcredit conceptual framework for them. One major finding is that, majority of the respondents has quite high range of monthly expenditure and their monthly income is insufficient to cover their expenses. Even though majority of the respondents used the loans for business purposes, but there are still some respondents who used the loans for purposes other than business such as for food supply, health as well as education purposes. While majority of the respondents had received trainings from AIM, they realized that the programme held were still inadequate and the diversity of programme and trainings should be increased in accordance with the challenges they are facing today.

Published: January 2023

Change is inevitable in any educational organization as new ideas and research shows that there are better ways to complete a task. Changes should be seen positive as we just cannot stop the world from evolving. As for the Malaysia education system, changes are happening when the government introduces the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2015 or to be more specific, the major agenda that is the School Transformation 2025 (TS25). The blueprints listed several key areas that need to be reformed in various aspects including administration, learning, school climate and surroundings that support the 21st century education. In addition, it is to make education in Malaysia at par with the first world countries. Here, transformation of 11 key areas are highlighted in the blueprint proposed to put Malaysia education to be world class. One of the key areas in the blueprint focuses on the students’ outcomes (Kemenjadian Murid). Based on the plan, transformation in Malaysia education will be looked into the area of standard document (Curriculum), pedagogical aspect and students’ evaluation.

Background and objective: The medicinal effects of flavonoids are widely described in the literature; however, their antimicrobial effects against antibiotic resistant bacteria are yet to be highlighted. This study was aimed at investigating the growth and biofilm inhibitory effects of taxifolin, a flavonoid, against vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA).
Methods: Seven VRSA isolates were used to assess the antimicrobial and antibiofilm influence of taxifolin. The agar-well diffusion method was used to determine the zones of inhibition caused by taxifolin, and resazurin-based microdilution technique was used to assess the minimum inhibitory concentration. Crystal violet staining technique was used to assess the biomass of biofilms formed by the microorganisms. GraphPad Prism software was used to present the data in figures.
Results: Taxifolin inhibited bacterial growth in a dose-dependent fashion and reduced bacterial viability. It similarly attenuated the biofilm production activity of bacterial isolates in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusions: Current findings suggest the antibacterial and antibiofilm influence of taxifolin against VRSA in a dose-dependent manner.

This paper attempts to understand the relationship between the right to resistance and democracy through the debate on human rights and citizenship (national rights), which has been discussed for a long time in academia. In the 2015 revised high school『 Korean History』 textbook, the part dealing with the democratization movement from the April 19 Revolution to the June Democratic Uprising was analyzed as the subject of analysis, and it was used in integrated society textbooks such as ‘human rights’ and ‘basic rights’ of the people. From the point of view of human rights, we would like to examine how the May 18th democratization movement can be reconstructed in class. So, based on the concept of human rights learned in the integrated society textbook, we will understand the historical context and understand human rights and basic rights of the people. Through the process of critically thinking and judging historical facts through controversial concepts, students can participate in the production of historical knowledge. The concept of human rights, which is an issue, allows students to critically think and judge the history of Democracy in Korea.
