Published: April 2017

The authors show the features of the formation, transmission and assimilation of historical knowledge in the age of computer technologies. The paper pays attention to the danger of the false and destructive socio-philosophical ideas and so-called new national histories. The thesis of a significant politicization of history in the modern world is substantiated. The authors emphasize the need to preserve school museums and, on the whole, actualize biographical historical memory of pupils and students. This was the basis of the concept of a virtual museum "Soldiers of Victory" which had already been implemented as a modern public, open, creative, informational and educational project.
Training System of Social and Personal Development for Preschool Children
Authors: Серебрякова  , Serebryakova T.
Published: April 2017

This article presents the results of longstanding experimental

work on the problem of social and personal development

of preschool children. Despite the steady and very long interest of

scientists in this subject, it has not lost its relevance today, because

the environmental factor is fundamental for the full development

of the individual and the success of its socialization. Based on the

theoretical analysis method, as structural components of social and

personal development of children of preschool age, we highlight

the emotional, volitional, and communicative. The integration of

the developmental and educational and educational influences in

the framework of development of these social and personal components,

in our view, will ensure the success of social and personal

formation of each child. Using a system of diagnostic techniques

aimed at a comprehensive study of the selected contact the three

components of the social and personal development of preschool

children (emotional, volitional and communicative components),

leads to the conclusion of non-conformity in most children the

level of social and personal development of their age opportunities.

This finding was the basis for the development and implementation

of targeted work with the children of the system of psycho-pedagogical

activities aimed at optimizing the process of their social

and personal development.
Didactic Features of Studying the Real Numbers in the School Course of Mathematics
Authors: Алексеенко  , Alekseenko A. , Лихачева  , Likhacheva M.
Published: April 2017

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of

real numbers in the discipline "Algebra and analysis" in the secondary

school. The theme of "Real numbers" is not easy to understand

and often causes difficulties for students. However, the study of this

topic is now being given enough attention and time. The consequence

is a lack of understanding of students and school-leavers, what

constitutes the real numbers, irrational numbers. At the same time

the notion of a real number is required for further successful study

of mathematics. To improve the efficiency of studying the topic

and form a clear idea about the different numbers offered to add

significantly to the material of modern textbooks, increase the

number of hours in the study of real numbers, as well as to include

in the school course of algebra topics "Complex numbers" and

"Algebraic structures".

Measuring Preventable Outcomes: Global Cardiovascular Risk (GCVR)
Authors: Hamlin Ben
Published: April 2017

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) piloted a new approach to
quality measurement meant to reduce avoidable cardiac events and improve overall
population health. In this pilot, we investigated whether a standardized technical
specification could sufficiently define a process to reliably generate predicted outcome
scores from heterogeneous electronic clinical data systems (ECDS). Patient data was
electronically extracted from four different healthcare organizations and processed by
the Archimedes, Inc. Global Outcomes calculator generating scores indicating future
cardiovascular event probability for each provider’s patient population. These Global
Cardiovascular Risk (GCVR) scores represent the gap between current level of care
achieved and optimal care for each clinician’s patients with a greater score indicating
better performance. As GCVR requires more patient data than traditional quality
measures, we sought to address feasibility and data completeness questions in order to
understand the prospects of a wholly new quality concept. This pilot successfully
produced GCVR scores for 2,251 clinicians, representing approximately 60 percent of the
total patient population under study. To our knowledge, this is the first time
predictive models have been proposed for quality measurement and our pilot successfully
demonstrated that a predicted outcome measure is feasible using electronic patient data,
however new specification standards are required before this approach is fully scalable
to a national quality reporting program.

Published: April 2017

BACKGROUND

We sought to develop estimates of biological variation (BV) for 9 enzymes in blood serum as part of the European Biological Variation Study.

METHODS

Ninety-one healthy study participants (38 male and 53 female, 21–69 years old) were phlebotomized in each of 10 consecutive weeks at 6 European laboratories. The same preanalytical sample-handling protocol was followed at each center before transport to San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy, for analysis. Sera were stored at −80 °C before analysis in duplicate within a single run on an ADVIA 2400 Clinical Chemistry System (Siemens Healthcare) following a protocol designed to minimize analytical imprecision. Assay traceability was established using frozen sera with target values assigned by reference methods. The results were subjected to outlier analysis before CV-ANOVA to deliver valid BV estimates. Results for 9 enzymes were subsequently partitioned for graphical display allowing visual assessment of the effects of country of origin, sex, and age on BV estimates.

RESULTS

We found no effect of country upon the observed variation, but overall sex-related differences were evident for alanine amino transferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and creatine kinase (CK). The following estimates for within-subject BV (CVI) and between-subject BV (CVG), respectively, were obtained: ALT: 9.3%, 28.2%; aspartate aminotransferase: 9.5%, 20.3%; GGT: 8.9%, 41.7%; alkaline phosphatase : 5.3%, 24.9%; lactate dehydrogenase: 5.2%, 12.6%; CK: 14.5%, 31.5%; amylase: 6.8%, 30.4%; pancreatic α-amylase: 6.3%, 24.9%; and lipase (LIP): 7.7%, 23.8%.

CONCLUSIONS

All CVI and some CVG estimates were lower than those reported in the online BV 2014 updated database. Analytical performance specifications derived from BV can be applied internationally.
Single-Tube Dodecaplex PCR Panel of Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers Closely Linked to the DMPK CTG Repeat for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Authors: Lian Mulias , Zhao Mingjue , Lee Caroline G , Chong Samuel S
Published: April 2017

BACKGROUND

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) currently uses conventional PCR to detect nonexpanded dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) alleles or triplet-primed PCR to detect the CTG-expanded alleles, coupled with analysis of linked microsatellite markers to increase diagnostic accuracy. We aimed to simplify the process of identification and selection of informative linked markers for application to DM1 PGD.

METHODS

An in silico search was performed to identify all markers within 1–1.5 Mb flanking the DMPK gene. Five previously known (D19S559, APOC2, D19S543, D19S112, and BV209569) and 7 novel (DM45050, DM45178, DM45209, DM45958, DM46513, DM46892, and DM47004.1) markers with potentially high heterozygosity values and polymorphism information content were selected and optimized in a single-tube multiplex PCR panel.

RESULTS

Analysis of 184 DNA samples of Chinese and Caucasian individuals (91 from unrelated, anonymized cord blood of Chinese babies born at the National University Hospital, Singapore, and 93 Caucasian DNA samples from the Human Variation Panel HD100CAU) confirmed the high polymorphism indices of all markers (polymorphism information content >0.5), with observed heterozygosity values ranging from 0.62–0.93. All individuals were heterozygous for at least 6 markers, with 99.5% of individuals heterozygous for at least 2 markers on either side of the DMPK CTG repeat. The dodecaplex marker assay was successfully validated on 42 single cells and 12 whole genome amplified single cells.

CONCLUSIONS

The DM1 multiplex PCR panel is suitable for use in DM1 PGD either as a standalone linkage-based assay or as a complement to DMPK CTG repeat expansion-mutation detection.
From performers to spectactivists: Jana Sanskriti’s training for agency in and beyond theatre
Authors: Yarrow Ralph
Published: April 2017

Sanjoy Ganguly and his company, Jana Sanskiti (Badu, West Bengal), operate a mode of training that works with individuals, groups and communities to develop cognitive, motoric and affective agency. This enables them to become fully involved participants in the collective refashioning of their political and social situation. Their work involves the acknowledgement and activation of bodies and their performative, relational and agential capacities. It draws on Boal's use of theatre games and exercises and extends this by the addition of aspects of Indian folk practice, and the precise operation of a sequential strategy across time that embodies successive phases of recognition and analysis by means of different modalities of interactive work: the acquisition of skills and techniques, ways of drawing on performance knowledges, institution of co-creativity and collaborative scripting, and the extension of these capacities to community activism. This article will trace these dimensions of Jana Sanskriti's work and relate them to understandings of forms of embodied knowing.
Homeland as Beloved: Translating viraha for (post)colonial contexts
Authors: Lee Cynthia Ling
Published: April 2017

This article discusses how Pallabi Chakravorty’s Asunder and Cynthia Ling Lee’s fish hook tongue, two contemporary works by kathak-trained choreographers, intervene in the nationalist discourse surrounding classical Indian dance by translating the aesthetic concept of viraha for politicized (post)colonial contexts. The two works refuse to perform Indian nationalist representations of kathak that uphold respectable Hindu femininity imbued with the Orientalist weight of timeless, immutable ‘tradition’. Instead, Asunder and fish hook tongue depart from classical practice and Indian nationalist representations of kathak by replacing the traditional Beloved of kathak abhinaya with a new love object: the troubled, (post)colonial homeland. I draw on Svetlana Boym’s theorizations of nostalgia to argue that these two works, which are grounded in critical histories rather than timeless myth, reimagine viraha as critical reflective nostalgia, as the impossible longing of a diasporic subject for union with a broken homeland. Asunder addresses the Partition of India by evoking longing for an undivided India that interweaves Muslim and Hindu influences, while fish hook tongue re-territorializes and reconfigures viraha as the visceral longing to speak one’s mother tongue of Taiwanese against the silencing forces of colonization and assimilation.
In Prakriti: Feminocentric form
Authors: Hamilton Mark James
Published: April 2017

This article offers new perspectives on the complex discourse – in publication and international conversation – debating the ways in which women are represented through contemporary performances of bharatanatyam through the lens of the author’s life as a white queer man dancing the form. There are contested histories of bharatanatyam that chart the metamorphosis of occult Dravidian temple worship practices and mediaeval court entertainments into a transnational embodiment of Indian women, important to the Indian state and the continuing colonialist forces it contains. This article considers how secularist and sectionalist readings of cultural practices prohibit our understanding of the radical ontology that underpins bharatanatyam, and consequently the reach of its transformative power. Significantly, such ontology potentially involves the absorption of men in a feminocentric Weltanschauung. On an immediate level (comparable to discussions about other theatrical idioms) this is because of the overlap between the performative construction of femininity and the representational performance of femininity embedded and intertwined in bharatanatyam. On a more unique level, it is also because the cosmology underpinning bharatanatyam perceives all material existence as divinely female – as prakriti.
Caryatids lost and regained: Rebranding the classical body in contemporary Greece
Authors: Plantzos Dimitris
Published: April 2017

This article examines patterns of reception through which a particular type of classical sculpture – the Caryatid – has been accepted into the cultural life of contemporary Greece. Loved by neoclassical architecture, though also prominent in Modern Greek design, as well as contemporary literature, the Caryatid serves alongside a limited stock of other classical monuments as a logo for the country and the Greeks at large, especially when referring to their relations with their fellow Europeans. In contemporary Greek culture, Caryatids are deployed as symbols of Greekness as well as a means to achieve the nation’s cultural emancipation against the supremacy of western, globalized modernity. Often derided as mere symptoms of colonial mimicry, through their inherent qualities of parody and subversiveness, such uses may sometimes prove unexpectedly successful in undermining modernity and its templates.
Roman-alphabeted Greek and transliteration in the digital language practices of Greek secondary school pupils on Facebook
Authors: Lees Christopher , Politis Periklis , Koutsogiannis Dimitris
Published: April 2017

This article highlights the uses of Roman-alphabeted Greek as observed in the language practices of fifteen Greek secondary school pupils on their Facebook profiles. We argue that far from the use of Latin alphabet posing a threat to the Greek language, as it is often described, Roman-alphabeted Greek merely forms part of teenagers’ digital communication exchanges. Furthermore, our data point to a clear preference for using the Greek script as opposed to the Latin. In many instances where the Latin alphabet is used, pupils, albeit with gender-related differences, use orthographic transliteration, so as to adhere to standard Greek spelling. At the same time, we draw attention to an emerging trend in alphabet choice, where other languages are transcribed using the Greek script.
Gender and sexuality in three late-1980s Greek lifestyle magazines: Playboy, Status and Click
Authors: Zestanakis Panagiotis
Published: April 2017

This article examines the representational politics of gender and sexuality in Playboy, Status and Click, three Greek lifestyle magazines of the late 1980s. Despite differences in representation, politics, impact and audience demographics, these magazines’ politics towards gender and sexuality shared noticeable similarities. Challenging the view that lifestyle magazines one-dimensionally advocated patriarchy, the article argues that their positioning towards gender and sexuality varied. It combined the reproduction of patriarchal stereotypes targeting to the objectification of (mainly) female bodies with challenging and often productive views on gender roles. These magazines often dealt with (mainly male) homosexuality through a liberal viewpoint, opening a space for the empowerment and visibility of gay audiences. Finally, in a period of growing fears about HIV/AIDS, these magazines provided valuable information about the epidemic to their readers.

Ser princesa e ser herói: verdades sobre o corpo que atravessam a imaginação das crianças /Being a princess or a hero: truth about body crossing children’s imagination
Authors: Marques Circe Mara , Machado Josaine , Pinto Marialva Linda Moog
Published: April 2017

Este artigo resultou de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo investigar as verdades sobre o corpo que atravessam a imaginação e as brincadeiras das crianças. Buscamos conhecer aquilo que as próprias crianças dizem sobre o corpo de princesa e sobre o corpo de herói. Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa ‘com’ crianças de seis anos que frequentam o primeiro ano de uma escola pública da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Esta transcorreu a partir de conversas realizadas com dois grupos, estando um deles constituído por oito meninas e o outro por sete meninos. Durante o estudo foi possível compreender as influências da mídia e das produções culturais para a infância na constituição da imaginação. Embora as crianças não sejam sujeitos passivos diante dos conteúdos midiáticos, sua imaginação é tocada por tais conteúdos, produzindo a ideia de corpo branco, magro e saudável como sendo uma verdade quando se trata de uma princesa ou de um herói. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Corpo. Imaginação. Infância. Mídia.

Zum Dilemma bei der Beurteilung der Nachhaltigkeit von Produkten: Das Beispiel "Kühlen mit FKW" What is required for a sustainability assessment of industrial products? The debate about hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants
Authors: Scheringer Martin , Hirsch Hadorn Gertrude , Högger Dominique
Published: April 2017

R 134a has been proposed as a substitute for chlorofluorocarbons used as refrigerants. However, is R 134a a step towards sustainability
or a "climate killer"? We analyse the stances Hoechst and Greenpeace took regarding this question during the 1990s and clarify the reasons for their divergent opinions. Both parties decided at their discretion
when they assessed the environmental impacts of technical systems, when they evaluated the feasibility of alternatives, and when they balanced different interests. The analysis shows that such value judgements
are inherent to any sustainability assessment. Accordingly, the relevant question is whether there are well-founded reasons for preferring certain interests. Management rules that have been suggested for
a sustainable utilization of resources are too abstract to be applied here. A development towards sustainability requires continuous re-evaluation and improvement of technical and societal activities. This,
in turn, needs a social discourse in which the specific interests of the parties are reconciled with one another and with the requirements of the overarching guiding principle of sustainable development.
Komplementarität von Laiensicht und Expertensicht in der Landschaftsbewertung
Authors: Güsewell Sabine , Dürrenberger Gregor
Published: April 2017

Conservation policies in the field of environmental and landscape protection are facing increasing problems of public acceptance in recent years. One reason thereof is the fact that the highly specialized expert-knowledge on which policy measures are based is not (sufficiently) communicated
to the public. Another reason concerns the fact that standard tools of scientific inquiry generally do not address holistic aspects of nature. Such holistic aspects, however, are of pivotal importance for laypersons' framings and judgements. The present article advances the argument that evaluations
of experts and judgements of laypeople are not strictly opposed in the sense that former are entirely objective and latter purely subjective; rather, the two assessments should be treated as complementary. The paper presents empirieal evidence for the complementarity between expert-view and
layperson-view. Data stem from a case study on landscape evaluation in a Swiss skiing resort. The article concludes with the claim that an evaluation that integrates both expert knowledge as weil as judgements of laypersons isa badly needed and necessary instrument for conservation policies
and environmental management. Maßnahmen im Natur- und Landschaftsschutz werden meist aufgrund ökologischer Bewertungen vorgeschlagen. Solche "objektiven" Experlenbewertungen gründen üblicherweise in der problematischen Vorstellung, daß eine scharfe
Trennung zwischen Faktenfeststellung und subjektiver Wertsetzung möglich ist. Dies führt häufig dazu, daß sich Laien mit den professionellen Bewertungen nicht identifizieren können und die darauf beruhenden Naturschutzmaßnahmen nicht unterstützen. Benötigt
würde eine Landschaftsbewertung, welche Laiensicht und Expertensicht gleichermaßen berücksichtigt. Die Komplementarität beider Sichtweisen zwingt hierbei zu einem Vorgehen, bei dem sich die Bewertenden mit verschiedenen, zum Teilsogar widersprüchlichen Resultaten
innerlich auseinandersetzen. Eine solche "integrierte Bewertung" kann dazu beitragen, daß die Kluft zwischen Laien und Experten sowie zwischen Mensch und Landschaft etwas an Breite verliert. Sie dürfte auch in anderen Entscheidungssituationen zunehmende Bedeutung erlangen.
Berufschancen im Umweltbereich

Published: April 2017

As part of a long-term monitoring eftort, regular surveys are carried out among the graduates of Environmental Sciences at the ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal lnstitute of Technology). A questionnaire based ona concept of professionalization was formulated. The three areas (1) quality
of education, (2) employment situation and (3) professional identity are considered. The development ofa new professional field focussed on the environment, is discussed. Wieviel Mobiltelephone braucht die Welt? Das hängt davon ab, wie viel sie kosten, was sie leisten und, last not
least, wie effektiv ihr Marketing ist. Und wie viel Umweltwissenschaftler und -wissenschaftlerinnen braucht die Welt? Jetzt klingt die Antwort beinahe unsittlich: Das hängt davon ab, wie viel sie kosten, was sie leisten und, last not least, wie effektiv ihr Marketing ist. Aber istes wirklich
ein unsittliches Angebot, wenn Profis im Umweltbereich ihre Fähigkeiten offensiv vermarkten? Ist es nicht sogar ein Beitrag dazu, die Institution der Marktwirtschaft, in deren Rahmen Waffen, Drogen, Umweltgifte und jede Menge Schund gehandelt werden, schrittweise zu einer nicht nur effizienten,
sondern auch ethisch verantwortbaren Einrichtung zu machen? Eben dieses Streben - nach einer Marktwirtschaft mit gutem Gewissen sozusagen - ist doch ein ganz wesentlicher Aspekt des Konzepts der nachhaltigen Entwicklung. Und wie soll in der Weltwirtschaft der Zukunft eine nachhaltige Entwicklung
verwirklicht werden, wennes nicht Leute gibt, die sich dieser Perspektive mit professioneller Kompetenz, Entschlossenheit und auch Lust widmen? Es ist durchaus denkbar, daß der Markt für solche Profis in den kommenden Jahrzehnten sich ähnlich dynamisch entwickeln wird wie der
für Mobiltelephone. Aber genauso wenig wie in diesem Fall wird das in jenem von selber geschehen. Um die mögliche Entstehung einer neuen Profession im Umweltbereich zu beobachten und ein aktives Marketing betreiben zu können, wurde an der Abteilung für Umweltnaturwissenschaften
der ETH Zürich ein langfristiges Projekt "Berufsforschung" eingerichtet. Dieses Projekt und erste Ergebnisse werden hier vorgestellt.
Multiplicity of Solutions to Elliptic Problems Involving the 1-Laplacian with a Critical Gradient Term
Authors: Abdellaoui Boumediene , Dall’Aglio Andrea , Segura de León Sergio
Published: April 2017

In the present paper we study the Dirichlet problem for an equation involving the 1-Laplacian and a total variation term as reaction.We prove a strong multiplicity result. Namely, we show that for any positive Radon measure concentrated in a set away from the boundary and singular with respect to a certain capacity, there exists an unbounded solution, and measures supported on disjoint sets generate different solutions.These results can be viewed as the analogue for the 1-Laplacian operator of some known multiplicity results which were first obtained by Ireneo Peral, to whom this article is dedicated, and his collaborators.

From Apprentice to Paralegal: The Rise of the Paralegal Profession in America
Authors: Mongue Robert E.
Published: April 2017

In 1980, the South Carolina Supreme Court noted, “Paralegals are routinely employed by licensed attorneys to assist in the preparation of legal documents such as deeds and mortgages.” According to the court, the activities of a paralegal were of a preparatory nature, such as legal research, investigation, or the composition of legal documents. This assessment of paralegal utilization in 1980 might well have been surprising to many readers of the court’s decision. As the delegation of legal work to non-lawyers evolved, so has the paralegal profession. The goal of this paper is to trace the transition of paralegals from a somewhat glorified – albeit very specialized – secretarial role to a professional position, emphasizing the period just before and after the creation of the ABA definition of the legal/assistant paralegal position. Legal professionals, rather than historians, provide most of historiography that is available. Historians appear to have focused on particular lawyers, especially those who became political leaders, and the efforts of persons other than white males to enter the profession with little mention of the personnel that supported those lawyers. Discussion of the historical development of paralegals and the paralegal profession has been limited to introductory chapters of practice manuals written by lawyers and paralegal educators for paralegals. The utilization of legal assistants from the 1970s to the present is well-documented, however, in contemporary writings by lawyers, law office managers, and social scientists. This paper is concerned with the development of the paralegal profession and the paralegal role in American law offices. This study examines writings from the twentieth century lawyers, paralegals, law office managers, paralegal educators, and social scientists to track the paralegal profession in five respects: (1) Definition of the nature of the role of the persons considered part of the occupation; (2) Establishment of educational requirements and forums; (3) Organization of professional associations; (4) Self-regulation; and, (5) Development of enforceable codes of professional conduct. In addition to the contemporary writings, the study uses information obtained through communications with paralegals, paralegal educators, and paralegal association directors who practiced during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Kinetic theory based multiphase flow with experimental verification
Authors: Gidaspow Dimitri , Bacelos Marcelo S.
Published: April 2017

This review is an extension of our 2014 circulating fluidized bed (CFB) plenary lecture. A derivation of multiphase mass, momentum and energy balances is presented, with a review of elementary kinetic theory, to explain the concepts of granular temperature and pressure and the core-annular flow regime commonly observed in CFB. The kinetic theory shows that the particle concentration is given by the reciprocal of a fourth order parabola of dimensional tube radius, in agreement with experiments. Computed flow regimes and heat and mass transfer coefficients in fluidization are also discussed.

An offset representative unit cell (ORUC) is introduced to predict elastic properties of three-dimensional (3D) eight-harness satin weave composites both analytically and numerically. A curved beam model is presented based on minimum complementary energy principle, which establishes an analytical solution for elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio calculation. Finite element method is developed to predict engineering constants of composites. Modified periodic boundary conditions and load method for ORUC are also presented. Experiments of simulated material are performed under tensile test. Close correlation is obtained between experimental data and predictions. Sensitivity study is conducted and manifests that within a large variation of constitutive material properties, the curved beam model derives close predictions comparing to finite element model, which indicates the stability of the curved beam model. Parametric study is also conducted to discuss the effect of weave type and geometric dimensions on elastic properties. It is argued that the curved beam model could manifest fine predictions accurately and stably, and is recommended for the prediction of elastic properties of satin weave composite.
Under western eyes: Articulation between indigenous justice and the national judicial system
Authors: Benavides-Vanegas Farid Samir
Published: April 2017

The State’s response to the problems posed by the existence of indigenous special jurisdiction left for jurisprudence, in a decision model case by case, the determination of what is the meaning of the rights of indigenous peoples in a State like Colombia. At the same time, it has tried to impose the new constitutional order on the different indigenous peoples, thus acknowledging their dual role as equal citizens before the law and a people with differential rights. In this paper I want to address two issues: first, the discussion about the coordination of special indigenous jurisdiction with national justice; and, second, I want to show the project for which the Colombian Constitution was translated into seven indigenous languages and show some of the results of such a government initiative.

Androulakis-Korakakis, P, Langdown, L, Lewis, A, Fisher, JP, Gentil, P, Paoli, A, and Steele, J. Effects of exercise modality during additional “high-intensity interval training” on aerobic fitness and strength in powerlifting and strongman athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(2): 450–457, 2018—Powerlifters and strongman athletes have a necessity for optimal levels of muscular strength while maintaining sufficient aerobic capacity to perform and recover between events. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been popularized for its efficacy in improving both aerobic fitness and strength but never assessed within the aforementioned population group. This study looked to compare the effect of exercise modality, e.g., a traditional aerobic mode (AM) and strength mode (SM), during HIIT on aerobic fitness and strength. Sixteen well resistance-trained male participants, currently competing in powerlifting and strongman events, completed 8 weeks of approximately effort- and volume-matched HIIT in 2 groups: AM (cycling, n = 8) and SM (resistance training, n = 8). Aerobic fitness was measured as predicted V̇o
2max using the YMCA 3 minutes step test and strength as predicted 1 repetition maximum from a 4–6RM test using a leg extension. Both groups showed significant improvements in both strength and aerobic fitness. There was a significant between-group difference for aerobic fitness improvements favoring the AM group (p ≤ 0.05). There was no between-group difference for change in strength. Magnitude of change using within-group effect size for aerobic fitness and strength was considered large for each group (aerobic fitness, AM = 2.6, SM = 2.0; strength, AM = 1.9, SM = 1.9). In conclusion, our results support enhanced strength and aerobic fitness irrespective of exercise modality (e.g., traditional aerobic and resistance training). However, powerlifters and strongman athletes wishing to enhance their aerobic fitness should consider HIIT using an aerobic HIIT mode.

Ülkelerin Araştırma ve Geliştirme (Ar-Ge) faaliyetleri gelişmekte olan pazarda rekabet edebilmek adına büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu önem yaygın olarak kabul edilmesine rağmen, Ar-Ge faaliyetlerinin etkinliği literatürde nadir olarak incelenmiştir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma  Avrupa Birliği (AB) üyesi ülkelerin Ar-Ge verimliliğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, ülkeler arasındaki rekabetin  çok yüksek olduğu AB ülkeleri seçilmiştir, ayrıca bu ülkeler Ar-Ge faaliyetlerine ciddi miktarda kaynak ayırmaktadırlar. Veri Zarflama Analizi (VZA) göreceli etkinlik skorlarını ölçmek için kullanılmıştır. Sonrasında, AB ülkelerinin siyasi ve düzenleyici ortamının Ar-Ge verimliliği üzerindeki etkisi hipotez testleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Göreceli etkinlik skorları ve hipotez testlerinin sonuçları, sosyal politika düzenleyiciler için Ar-Ge faaliyetlerinin planlanması konusunda karar vermede değerli bilgiler vermektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları ayrıca Türkiye gibi, AB’ye katılmak isteyen ülkelere fayda sağlayacaktır.
