The purpose of this study was to analyze the external and internal load of Costa Rican handball referees according to sex and game periods. Nine referees (6 men and 3 women) were monitored during U19 handball matches, using an ultra-wide band local positioning system (UWB) and WIMUPro™ inertial units (IMU). The results showed a total distance of 4566.54±494.02 m (46.95% at 0-6 km/h, 32.97% at 6-12 km/h, 18.11% at 12-18 km/h and 1.96% >18 km/h). 1298.34±151.42 m/s2 accelerations and 1297.73±152.09 m/s2 decelerations were performed. Maximal speed was 19.63±1.85 km/h and average speed was 4.80±0.34 km/h. Player LoadRT was 50.53±9.39 UA. Maximal and average heart rate was 170.59±18.20 bpm 143.06±16.94 bpm respectively. 60% of the efforts were <80% of maximum heart rate. Total energy expenditure was 372.34±67.80 kcal. No significant differences were found in physiological variables between sexes, although men covered greater distance at 0-6 km/h. In the second periods the total distance (m/min), distance at 6-12 km/h, 12-18 km/h (m/min) and >18 km/h, average speed, impacts at 3-5g and >5g, Player LoadRT, and energy expenditure decreased. In conclusion, sex does not seem to affect the external or internal load, while the game period influenced on the external load.

Objective. To assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on perceived stress and metabolic syndrome parameters among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method. Fifty-one adults (aged 48.73±7.84; 86.3% of women) were included in a non-randomized clinical trial performed in a healthcare unit for six months (Brazilian Clinical Trial Registry: RBR-43K52N). All participants were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome (intervention group, n=26; control group, n=25). The intervention consisted of a nurse-led educational health-promoting program with a multidisciplinary approach organized in seven workshops. The primary outcome was decreased perceived stress, and the secondary outcome was improvement in metabolic syndrome parameters according to perceived stress levels. These outcomes were assessed at two points in time, at the baseline and follow-up. Results. Participation in the intervention program resulted in a significant decrease in perceived stress (p=0.028). The stressed participants in the intervention group experienced a significant decrease in blood glucose levels (p=0.001) and a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p=0.003) concentrations after the six-month intervention. Conclusion. The nurse-led educational health-promoting program decreased perceived stress among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, improving fasting blood glucose and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol among the stressed participants in the intervention group.

Objective. To investigate the relationship between environmental ethics, spiritual health, and environmental behavior among nursing students. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, 200 iranian students from the Chabahar Nursing School were selected using a simple random sampling method. The data collection tool included a questionnaire on demographic information, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards the environment, environmental ethics, and spiritual health. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to evaluate the conceptual framework in this study. Results. The mean score for environmental ethics among nursing students was 65.73±10.61 out of 100. Most of the students (47%) had desirable environmental ethics. The knowledge structure (β=0.46) predicted attitude. The attitude structure also predicted environmental behavior (β=0.28) and spiritual health (β=0.31). Ultimately, the results showed that spiritual health and environmental ethics predict environmental behavior directly and indirectly (p<0.001). Conclusion. Spiritual health and environmental ethics were strong predictors of environmental behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account not only students' spiritual health but also their ethical behaviors to promote environmental protection behaviors in the future.

Introduction. Suicide is a public health problem with multifactorial etiology affecting all age groups. In Mexico, the suicide rate was 6.5 suicides per 100,000 population in 2021. Objective. To determine the predictive factors for suicidal behaviors (SB) in college students in the north-central region of Mexico. Method. A descriptive, comparative, analytical study was conducted of 1,147 randomly selected college students. Sociodemographic data, alcohol consumption (AC), perceived stress (PS), social support (SS) and suicidal behavior (SB), suicidal ideation (SI), suicide attempt (SA) and suicide risk (SR) were measured. Data analysis in SPSS included descriptive and inferential statistics. Results. The mean age of study participants was 20.2 years, with a female predominance (82.2%). Prevalence rates for SB were 62% for SI, 14.9% for SA, and 18.3% for SR. In regard to predictive factors for SB, risky, harmful, or dependent AC increased SR 1.7-fold [1.071-2.926]. At the same time, not having SS increased the risk of SI, SA, and SR by a factor of 2.4 [1.843-3.246], 2.7 [1.890-4.123], and 3.6 respectively. Higher PS increased the risk of SI, SA, and SR by a factor of 5.6 [4.209-7.538], 3.1[2.103-4.663] and 6.4 [4.184-9.826] respectively. PS and lack of SS predict SB in both sexes and across all states. Discussion and Conclusion. The results show the importance of mental health care, in both epidemiologically risky situations and everyday life, together with the early identification, and timely, effective treatment of suicide risk factors in university students.
Features of the Ultras Subculture in Ukraine
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Pozniak Vadym
Published: April 2024

Football is the most popular sport on the European continent, giving rise to a mass culture encompassing various elements such as live broadcasts of football matches, the production of football-themed films, the publication of books, and the sale and popularization of club symbols. Additionally, local fan traditions and supporter fan groups contribute to the rich cultural tapestry surrounding football. Few cultural activities attract as many people as football and within the realm of fan movements, ultras stand out as the most widespread and influential fan group globally. This makes them an essential group for analysis and research into their impact. On the European continent, football fan movements have long been marked by the distinction between two models: the «English-style» hooliganism and the ultras movement originating in Italy. These two trends have served as a precursor to the local development of fan movements in other European countries and the rest of the world. Today, ultras represent the dominant football fan movement in Germany, Poland, Greece, southern France, and the Balkans. In Spain, Turkey, and Eastern and Central Europe, fans have adopted some aspects of the ultras style (Doidge et al., 2020, p. 4). Based on this, one might think of European football fan movements as predominantly following the «Italian» variant, except the United Kingdom. However, in reality, such movements in each country have regional peculiarities shaped by cultural, economic, political, and historical conditions. The football fan movement in Ukraine is relatively young and needs more research in the academic world, characterized by a lack of scholarly works. This article aims to provide an overview of the critical aspects of forming the football fan movement and ultras in Ukraine, shedding light on the features of this group’s subculture.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Somatotyping has a long history and at the same time is widespread today in medicine, sports, and biomedical research, which necessitates the analysis of accumulated scientific facts.
AIM: Identify the main trends and patterns of development of methodological approaches to determining somatotypes based on the analysis of domestic scientific publications from 2013 to 2023.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on scientific publications indexed in the RSCI, a database has been formed on the use of somatotype assessment methods for the period from 2013 to 2023. Keywords of publications, frequency and scientific areas of application of somatotyping schemes were analyzed.
RESULTS: Anthropometry techniques were most often used to identify predictors of adaptation failure or disease development. When searching for characteristics of samples that differ in influencing factors, body composition was more often used. An increase in studies using somatotyping according to B.H. Heath and J.E. Carter (hereinafter — Heath–Carter) and M.V. Chernorutsky has been revealed. The share of studies performed using the methods of R.N. Dorokhov and V.G. Petrukhin and J.M. Tanner is decreasing, and the variety of somatotyping schemes used. In the study of adolescence, first adulthood and when somatotyping women, somatotyping according to R.N. Dorokhov and V.G. Petrukhin was more often used, in clinical studies — according to W.L. Rees и H.J. Eysenck, in the study of athletes — according to Heath–Carter, in combined somatotyping — according to P.N. Bashkirov, J.M. Tanner and W.L. Rees and H.J. Eysenck.
CONCLUSIONS: The main problem, that anthropologists faced was the comparability of the results obtained using different somatotyping schemes.
Investigating Pace of Biological Aging as a Mental and Physical Health Biomarker in Youth with Perinatally-Acquired HIV
Authors:   , Chang Hansoo , Zhang Fengqing
Published: April 2024

HIV and its treatment may affect the growth and development of organ function and the mental health of youth who are living with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV). Recent research has investigated utilizing biological age as a biomarker that can accurately predict a broad range of health outcomes such as physical functioning, multimorbidity, cognitive functioning, and even mortality in adults. However, few studies have utilized a longitudinal approach to analyze biological age in targeted populations such as those with PHIV. Even fewer studies have investigated the trends of biological aging in children since most biological aging algorithms have been developed with an older population in mind. To fill the gap, our study aims to examine the pattern of biological aging over time in youth with PHIV. We propose a new approach to quantify the pace of biological aging as a weighted combination of the temporal trajectory of each individual biomarker. The resulting metric is called individualized pace of biological aging (iPoA). Compared to existing methods such as pace of biological aging (PoA), and biological age gap (BAG), our proposed iPoA allows researchers to effectively account for each participant's baseline health condition. Our results show that iPoA was significantly associated with HIV viral load and change in HIV viral load over time in children, outperforming previously validated biological aging and pace of aging methods. Furthermore, iPoA was significantly related to mental quality of life, showing a slower pace of biological aging with a lower mental quality of life score. Additionally, we found a significant interaction effect between iPoA and sex in both mental and physical quality of life, revealing that males may experience more adverse health outcomes due to accelerated biological development relative to females who experience more adverse health outcomes with delayed biological development.

Authors: Kyian T. A. , Smirnikhina S. A. , Demchenko A. G. , Veiko R. V. , Kondratyeva E. I.
Published: April 2024

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare hereditary disease. In this ciliopathy, the disturbed structure and motility of the ciliary epithelium negatively affects the ciliary function and leads to prominent decrease or absence of mucociliary clearance. The European guidelines recommend analyzing the cilia beat frequency (СBF) in a native preparation or in ALI culture using light microscopy as one of the methods to confirm the diagnosis of PCD.

The aim of this project was to create software for automated analysis of the movement/beating of the ciliary epithelium of the respiratory tract for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia using digital high-speed video microscopy in vivo and in vitro.

Methods. Five healthy donors and 10 patients with suspected PCD underwent nasal epithelial brush biopsy. The preparations were examined with a transmission electron microscope in vivo. Epithelial cells were also isolated from the nasal biopsy specimen, and ciliogenesis of these cells was performed by ALI-culturing, followed by digital high-speed video microscopy and assessment of the number of active cells and cilia beating frequency. The resulting video images were used to create the software.

Results. Software for determination of ciliary epithelium beat frequency in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD HighSpeed Video Microscopy Analysis – PCD HSVMA) was created to optimize the diagnosis of PCD by light microscopy (software registration number 2023687245). The software is designed to count the number of active cells of ciliary epithelium and CBF (Hz) by digital high-speed video microscopy in vivo and in vitro in ALI-culture. PCD HSVMA software features storage of patient data, display of heat map, formation of a large server database of patients and video files, building of color and static histograms, processing of several areas in one video. Our software has a number of advantages over CiliarMove and Cilialyzer and has high correlation of CFB (Hz) estimation with these products.

Conclusion. Our software can be used for improvement of PCD diagnostics in laboratories of healthcare institutions, in scientific institutions and can be included in specialist educational programs for laboratory doctors, pediatricians, general practitioners, pulmonologists, diagnosticians (endoscopists).

Congenital alveolar dysplasia (СAD) and alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) are rare genetically determined interstitial lung diseases in infants that manifest in the first hours to days after birth, have fatal outcome and are usually diagnosed at autopsy.

The aim of this work was to consider the clinical manifestations and pathomorphologic picture of CAD and ACD/MPV based on clinical observations of newborns who were on a ventilator, received therapy for high pulmonary hypertension and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The clinical characteristics and medical history of the patients are described. The results of lifetime imaging methods, autopsy examinations with light microscopy and the use of routine staining methods of micro-preparations as well as immunohistochemical methods are considered. Morphologic changes in the lungs characteristic of CAD and ACD/MPV are described in detail in the analysis of histologic examination data.

Conclusion. The pathoanatomical examination data are of crucial importance for the diagnosis of CAD and ACD/MPV, which must be suspected in newborns with respiratory insufficiency and severe pulmonary hypertension when ventilation, inhalation of nitric oxide and ECMO are ineffective.

Acute complicated diverticulitis presents a more severe form of diverticular illness frequently needing urgent medical intervention and possibly surgical therapy. The aim of this review is to gather conclusive evidence from the literature comparing laparoscopic techniques to open and conservative ones in order to determine the most effective treatment plan for complicated diverticulitis. Online databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Elsevier and many others were systematically searched according to an inclusion criterion to obtain a total of 13 studies to be included in the review. 8/13 studies presented short term outcomes while 5/13 studies concluded with long term outcomes following index surgeries. Based on the end results, it can be concluded that laparoscopic surgery, in particular laparoscopic colon resection is superior to other techniques in treating complicated diverticulitis in terms of fewer short-term complications, low mortality rate better quality of life with few recurrence rates. However, other approaches have their own advantages and can be given priority based on the unique presentation of each case. The clinicians are advised to make informed decisions keeping in view all the patient and disease associated aspects.

Building resilient leadership: A study exploring leadership development during uncertainty
Authors: Walsh Susan , Johnston Alan , Gabriel Lynne
Published: April 2024

Effective small and medium enterprise (SME) leadership demands creative solutions to ensure organisations survive and thrive during the turbulent times that COVID-19 continues to bring. This paper explores how SME leaders (in micro and small organisations) prioritise and access the skills and development needed to provide effective and sustainable leadership to organisations, focusing on the role of resilience and the benefits it provides. Participants were selected through purposive and snowballing sampling. Online surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted and provided qualitative data that contributes to an understanding of the role of resilience and the view of participants as to what is needed to effectively respond to a dynamic environment. Evidence shows that SME leaders prioritise learning and development opportunities that provide demonstrable benefits throughout the organisation. Building business resilience remains a fuzzy concept; however, viewing resilience as a multi-level construct offers benefits when designing and delivering development opportunities. It has been found that networking, partnerships, and relationship building promote resilience and may offer a solution to how to embed resilience building into development opportunities that SME leaders value and wish to engage with. This article contributes by illustrating and exploring leadership development within SMEs during a period of unexpected and untested uncertainty. The pandemic caused major shock waves within business communities, and SMEs were significantly affected. The research is limited in that it is expected to be a once-in-a lifetime event, and as such conditions may not be replicable, learning opportunities for other ‘shock’ events are possible. The findings of this paper have relevance to practice in that, while the event may be one-off, shocks to the business environment are not.

COOT Bird-Inspired Algorithm for Daily Fine Particulate Matter Concentration Prediction Statistical Study
Authors: Valid Ahmed
Published: April 2024

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) poses significant risks to public health and the natural environment. Accurate prediction of PM2.5 concentration is crucial for effective environmental management. In this study, we present a novel hybrid model, the COOT bird-inspired natural life model combined with Artificial Neural Network (COOT-ANN), for predicting daily PM2.5 concentration in hydier abad and Delhi from 2014 to 2022. The performance of the COOT-ANN model is compared with stand-alone ANN and Dragonfly-ANN (DA-ANN) hybrid models. Using the Taylor diagram, we demonstrate that the COOT-ANN model exhibits the closest proximity to the observation point, resulting in a 13.94 % and 11.42 % reduction in prediction errors compared to the ANN model in Hyderabad and Delhi, respectively. Furthermore, the box-plot of the COOT-ANN model closely resembles the actual data distribution. Consequently, the COOT-ANN model outperforms both the ANN and DA-ANN models at both monitoring stations. This innovative approach to air quality prediction can significantly enhance the accuracy of environmental protection programs.

The expression of texture in P’urhepecha
Authors: Bellamy Kate , Mendoza Martha
Published: April 2024

Alongside taste and smell, touch has long been considered one of the ‘lower’ senses in much of western thought (Classen 1997). However, more recent research indicates that this ranking is not absolute, but that the cultural importance of the senses and their role in constructing worldview is relative, and thus variable (San Roque et al. 2015). Winter (2019: 191) also remarks that touch is high in semantic complexity because it is a frequent source domain in cross-modal language use, for instance, rough voice. Nevertheless, the language of touch has largely been ignored in linguistic description (cf. Essegbey 2013). This paper specifically investigates the language of texture in P’urhepecha, an isolate spoken in western Mexico, focusing on terms obtained by employing the “texture booklet” (Majid et al. 2007). Responses revealed two main morphosyntactic strategies: (i) terms formed from a root that expresses a texture, further subdivided into adjectival and verbal forms, and (ii) a variety of comparison constructions that can be broadly translated by ‘like’ in English. Ten roots were employed overall, but three of them dominated: ch’era- ‘rough’, sanu- (and its variant sunu-) ‘woolly’, and pitsï- (and its variant pichi-) ‘smooth’. These describe all ten of the stimulus materials, whereas the minor, less frequent roots, had narrower reference. While further investigation is needed to gain a better understanding of this lexical domain, our preliminary study of texture terms in P’urhepecha adds to the very few sources that have investigated this area of linguistic inquiry, and also deepens our knowledge of the complex morphology and contact-induced features of the language (cf. Chamoreau 2012).

Published: April 2024

Sakkok area in Singkawang is notorious for its traditional Chinese ceramics industry. These ceramics are produced through a wood-firing process in a closed kiln called Dragon Kiln. Dragon Kiln is the product between culture and technology, which was brought by the Southern Chinese immigrants. The only remaining Dragon Kilns, that are still being used and fired now, are in Singapore and Sakkok, Singkawang. Singkawang city is enlisted as Indonesia’s heritage city, therefore, the city is suggested to empower its heritages. This is supported by the people of Singkawang city, in which some of them are the crafters in the Dragon Kiln area. The highlighted architectural problem in this study is “How the architectural design of Dragon Kiln will maximize its Cultural Heritage potential in order to preserve the Dragon Kiln and Traditional Chinese Ceramics Industry?” The applied method for this study is Revitalization Thinking. Revitalization Thinking is a problem solving method based on revitalizing, done in stages, to maximize the design planning. The concept that is implied is an educative, recreational, and sustainable Cultural Heritage Tourism in order to maximize the Cultural Heritage potential of Dragon Kiln through the development of tourism in preserving the Dragon Kiln and Traditional Chinese Ceramics Industry in Singkawang, Indonesia and South-east Asia.

In fact, literacy conditions in Indonesia are now in crisis, which is also called a literacy emergency. Increasing interest in reading in the younger generation in Indonesia today is really important amidst so many technologies that are very rapidly developing. Therefore, Indonesia is currently so active at making movements to increase interest in reading. The purpose of this Community Library is to increase the reading interest of Indonesian people while providing adequate facilities for reading for the community. The design of Community Library uses architectural programming method. The process of this method is divided into two stages consisting of preparing a program that is an activity of analyzing data that led to architectural problems and designing designs that can solve problems. The digitalization of books can be used as a way to increase the children and adults interest in reading again. However, that still feels lacking, because it requires a more efficient steps that can further influence the interest in reading and attract the attention of the public to e interested in reading. One way to attract the reading interest of public to be interested in reading  is to turn the library into a creative reading place. This is what underlies the thought of the Community Library. Creating a Community Library with the concept of Recreation Space is expected to help change people's view of reading which was boring to be fun. The design is a comfortable, varied, and fun reading space with complete facilities.
