EXPERIENCE OF CZECH ELITE TRAMPOLINISTS AND THEIR COACHES WITH LOST MOVE SYNDROME
Authors: Novotná Anežka , Burešová Iva
Published: October 2024

This exploratory qualitative study explored the experience of Czech elite trampolinists and their coaches with Lost Move Syndrome (LMS). Six in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with three trampolinists (aged from 13 to 20 years) and their coaches (aged from 45 to 46 years with coaching experience ranging from 20 to 28 years). Statements were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results contributed to the mapping of this essential but not well-described phenomenon in the literature, showing, in particular, the significant variability in the perceived causes of LMS. Physical manifestations of LMS in individual trampolinists were quite different. Fear and misunderstanding of LMS were common psychological issues in all trampolinists. At the same time, there were significant differences between the experience of LMS by trampolinists and their coaches. The most crucial factor for understanding LMS appears to be personal experience with LMS. The results may be helpful for coaches in practice or sports psychologists to understand trampolinist's experience of LMS further.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SHOULDER FLEXIBILITY AND HANDSTAND ALIGNMENT IN DIFFERENT FEMALE ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS APPARATUS
Authors: Donoso Usen Leroy , Planas Anzano Antoni
Published: October 2024

A study was performed with the objective of analyzing the relationship between shoulder flexibility and handstand performance across three female artistic gymnastics apparatuses: floor exercise (FX), balance beam (BB), and uneven bars (UB). Twenty-one gymnasts participated and were divided into two groups: “G1”, consisting of twelve child gymnasts, and “G2”, consisting of nine adolescent gymnasts, aged 9 and 14 respectively. The study aimed to consider the sensitive phases for the development of flexibility. Using the Kinovea program, the shoulder angle (°H) in the handstand and the alignment of the joint segments (AJS) involved were analyzed. Participants underwent two different active shoulder flexibility tests (GFMT and FIG), and results were compared between the groups. Significant differences were found between groups in the GFMT test (p = 0.018), the FIG test (p = 0.026), and AJS in the BB handstand (p = 0.043). Significant relationships were also observed between the GFMT test and °H in UB (p = 0.021); and between the FIG test and °H in BB (p = 0.006), both withing the cild gymnast group. Overall, the adolescent group presented better scores, supporting the notion of greater body awareness and technical mastery of the handstand across the different female artistic gymnastics apparatuses.

Authors: Dallas Costas , Dallas George , Papazogonopoulou Kalenia , Theodorou Apostolos
Published: October 2024

The approach run is a fundamental precondition for successful vault performance, as it enables the gymnast to develop maximum controlled horizontal velocity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the length, frequency, and velocity of steps during the run-up phase (approach run) in the execution of the handspring vault on the vaulting table. Nine high-level male artistic gymnasts, who performed the handspring vault under training conditions, volunteered to participate in the study. Five video cameras—four stationary and one scanning—were used to record the run-up phase, the hurdle step, and the take-off from the springboard. The gymnasts performed six trials of the handspring vault with a three-minute rest between each trial. Results showed that the final step was shorter than the penultimate step, and the penultimate step was longer than the preceding step. Additionally, the gymnasts demonstrated a gradual increase in their run-up velocity, a key requirement for a successful jump, up to the penultimate step. The average step frequency among gymnasts ranged from 3.20 to 4.88 steps per second, while the average step velocity across the six attempts was between 4.03 and 7.37 m/sec. Finally, a gradual increase in the gymnast’s velocity was observed up until the last step, with the final step being shorter than the penultimate step and the penultimate step being longer than the one before it.

Authors: Fakhrian Roghani Sohila , Arabmomeni Allahyar
Published: October 2024

Obesity is a major health concern in the world because it is associated with many diseases. It has been shown that basic gymnastics exercises effectively prevent and treat this problem. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of 12 weeks of basic gymnastics exercises on body composition and lipid profile in obese girls. In this quasi-experimental study, with a design pre-test-post-test and a control group, 30 obese girls with Body Mass Index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile and the average age of 9.4 years, were selected purposefully and were divided into 2 groups (Basic gymnastics training, and control) randomly. The training protocol was implemented for 12 weeks, three times a week, and 45 minutes for each session incrementally. Body composition and lipid profile indices were measured in two stages: pre-test and post-test. In order to analyze the data, multivariate covariance tests were used.
The results of the study showed that the exercise intervention significantly reduced the fat percentage and BMI index in obese children (p≤0.001). In addition, a significant decrease in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and a significant increase in High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed (p≤0.002). These findings indicate the beneficial effects of basic gymnastics training on body composition and lipid profile in obese children. Therefore, the use of basic gymnastics training is recommended to improve these factors.

К вопросу о причинах и предпосылках глобального политического кризиса 2022 года
Authors: Королькова Наталья Валентиновна
Published: October 2024

В данном исследовании комплексно анализируются причины и предпосылки мирового политического кризиса 2022 года, связанного с началом Специальной военной операции России на Украине и глобальным противостоянием России и Запада. Подробно рассматриваются отношения Российской Федерации с западными странами от момента её образования до настоящего времени. В результате сделаны выводы, что Запад изначально ставил Россию в приниженное по сравнению с собой положение, разрабатывая стратегии ее ослабления и сдерживания. Запад считал себя победителем в «холодной войне», поэтому попытки России построить многополярный мир рассматривал как угрозу своей гегемонии. В результате Западные страны стали провоцировать конфликты у границ России, приводя к власти в соседних с РФ государствах русофобские режимы, чтобы добиться изоляции России.
Акторы музейного дискурса современной России
Authors: Арканникова Марина Сергеевна
Published: October 2024

Роль музейного дискурса в коммуникативной системе современной России и в системе национальной безопасности в целом в условиях геополитических вызов и развития политического дискурса в семантике всепроникающей культуры отмены, инициированной Западом в формате механизма применения новой этики как символического акта забвения, приобретает особую значимость. Анализ музеологических концепций, сложившихся в научной литературе, основан на методологическом плюрализме подходов дискурсологии, политологии, теории коммуникаций и теории поколений. Рассматривая музейный дискурс как преодоление экзистенциальной угрозы для современной России, автор выделяет среди акторов не только субъект – объект/адресант – адресат, а также всех заинтересованных акторов: музей – государство – наука – образование – промышленность – бизнес – общество – медиа. Автор делает вывод о том, что музейный дискурс как коммуникативный феномен, обладая высокой степенью интертекстуальности, особым полисубъектным и конвергентным потенциалом всех заинтересованных акторов коммуникации, осуществляет смыслообразование, символическое смыслопроизводство и создает модель социокультурной реальности, способную осуществлять социально и политически значимые функции в коммуникативной системе, оказывать политическое воздействие и легитимацию политической системе и власти.

Authors: Халимдарова Гюзелия Ринатовна , Шадрина Людмила Геннадьевна
Published: October 2024

Коммуникативная культура выступает важным качеством в структуре личности старшего дошкольника, отвечающим за способность личности выстраивать гармоничные отношения, основанные на взаимопонимании, доверии и нравственном отношении к окружающим. Одним из средств ее формирования является детская журналистика, потенциал которой недостаточно раскрыт в теории и практике дошкольной педагогики. Целью исследования является описание опыта и экспериментальная проверка эффективности детской журналистики как средства формирования коммуникативной культуры старших дошкольников. В исследовании использовались диагностические методики определения уровней сформированности коммуникативной культуры старших дошкольников по компетенциарному, эмоционально-ценностному, поведенческому и рефлексивному компонентам. Результаты диагностики показали необходимость проведения комплексной работы по формированию коммуникативной культуры у дошкольников. Детская журналистика предполагает работу по подготовке и проведению интервью, деятельности по организации, планированию, разработке и созданию оригинального медиапродукта в группе детей под руководством взрослого. Реализация разработанной системы проектов подтвердила эффективность формирования коммуникативной культуры старших дошкольников средствами детской журналистики (подготовка и проведение интервью; организация, планирование, разработка и создание оригинального медиапродукта под руководством взрослого).
Морфологические и синтаксические трансформации ивуарийского варианта французского языка
Authors: Глебова Яна Андреевна
Published: October 2024

Под влиянием сложной социолингвистической ситуации ивуарийский вариант французского языка приобрел ряд уникальных особенностей, типичных для ивуарийской лингвокультуры. Дискуссионным остается вопрос, какие именно трансформации закрепились в современном варианте французского языка Кот д'Ивуара. Целью исследования является выявление морфологических и синтаксических трансформаций ивуарийского варианта французского языка, которые отличают его от французского языка Франции. В результате исследования систематизированы факторы развития ивуарийского варианта французского языка в ракурсе новых социокультурных тенденций современного ивуарийского общества, повлиявшие на возникновение трансформаций в ивуарийском варианте французского языка. Установлено, что основной причиной возникновения морфологических и синтаксических манифестаций является интерференционное влияние автохтонных языков, а также недостаточный уровень владения французским языком у населения Кот д'Ивуара, не получившего высшего образования. Проанализированы основные разновидности французского языка в Кот д'Ивуаре, не соответствующие норме. На морфологическом уровне языка трансформации касаются как самостоятельных (существительное, местоимение, прилагательное, глагол), так и служебных (предлог, союз) частей речи. К наиболее частотным морфологическим манифестациям относятся: опущение артикля, предлога, местоимения, частицы pas в отрицательных предложениях, двойное отрицание, неверное спряжение глаголов, а также использование упрощенной системы времен. К наиболее продуктивным манифестациям на синтаксическом уровне относится упрощение строя французского языка Франции.

Blood Rites Theory: Is it an Alternative to Hegemonic War Theories?
Authors: Ait Benlaarbi El Mahdi
Published: October 2024

Developing a history of socialization to warfare, Ehrenreich reminds us of the possible roots that made humans turn from prey to predators. using the prehistorical sociopolitical developments initially from bands, tribes to chiefdoms and states, Ehrenreich tries to link the causes of war to these social mutations linked to symbolism and “blood rites” portraying it as a males’ activity. Although it seems that the approach is appealing as a constructivist or a social teleology with a feminist affinity, it fails however to grasp the causes of hegemonic wars. this paper addresses this dimension while defending the idea that the (neo)realist approach is still of relevance when approaching causation of modern warfare.
Yangın Çıkarmak için Kullanılan Alev Silahları (Alev Püskürtücüler)
Authors: Geçili Derya
Published: October 2024

Savaş, iki muhasım kuvvetin birbirlerini yok etmek için yaptıkları mücadeleye denir. Bunun için insanlar tarafından silah adı verilen bazı araç ve gereçler kullanılmıştır. Eski taş devirlerinde insanların kullandıkları ilk silah, ucuna çakmak taşı yerleştirilmiş bir sopa olmuştur. Bu sopayla düşmanın yanına yaklaşılıp yere serilmiştir. Eski dönemlerde başlayan bu saldırı ve savunma çekişmesi, harp tekniğinin her safhasında oka karşı kalkan, topa karşı zırh mücadelesi şeklinde adım adım gelişim göstermiştir. Silah olarak kullanılan bütün bu araç ve gereçler arasında en etkilisi ise doğrudan ateş olmuştur. Ateş ve silah, tarih boyunca birbirleriyle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Savaşlarda yangın çıkaran bütün silahlara da (alev cihazı, yangın bombası vb.) alev silahları adı verilmiştir. Alev silahları, eski tarihlerden itibaren çeşitli şekil ve malzemeler kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bunlar, her yönden insanlara büyük korku verip dehşet saçan silahlar olmuştur. Birinci Dünya Savaşında ise bu silahlara alev püskürtücüler denilmiştir. Daha sonra imzalanan savaş hukukuna göre alev çıkaran silahların kullanılması yasaklansa da İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda farklı şekillerde ve isimlerle faydalanılmaya devam edilmiştir. Aşağıda alev silahlarının özellikleri ve Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda kullanılan alev püskürtücüler anlatılmıştır.
Red fox scavenging at a moose carcass during a winter season
Authors: Dunker Henning
Published: October 2024

Red fox Vulpes vulpes was the only mammal feeding on a moose Alces alces carcass during a total of 26 days between Oct. 75 and Apr. 76. Scavenging on the carcass reached a peak during Nov.-Dec. when analysis of scat samples showed the carcass to be the major source of food. Later in the winter the carcass became hard-frozen and unavailable as food until the spring thaw which occurred during April. Once thawed the carcass was quickly consumed. The changes in carcass consumption appeared to coincide with the seasonal changes in the food requirements of the fox population.
A regional study on the environmental requirements of Gammarus lacustris G.O. Sars (Crustacea, Amphipoda) in Jotunheimen, Southern Norway
Authors: Hesthagen Trygve
Published: October 2024

This paper presents data on the distribution of G. lacustris in Lom municipality, Oppland County, southern Norway. The species has been recorded at 20 different localities. The occurrence of G. lacustris in the studied area seems mainly to be affected by the hydrogen ion concentration and total hardness of the water. Fish predation pressure may also influence the occurrence and abundance of this crustacean. G. lacustris survived a water level fluctuation of 7.3 m (range 3.7 m - 11.8 m) in the Tesse hydro-electric reservoir, during a period of 20 years, but not the more recent annual changes in water level of 12.2 m.
Professionalization and Gender in David Copperfield
Authors: Hasegawa Masayo
Published: October 2024

Charles Dickens’s David Copperfield (1849–1850) is a novel about the emergent profession of authorship, and its protagonist is the embodiment of Dickens’s idea of the professional novelist. The most significant qualities underlying David’s characterization relate to gender, and as a feminine male novelist, David blurs Victorian gender boundaries. Whereas many critics have illustrated the androgynous nature of the male novelist with a focus on his feminine traits, this article will show that his masculinity is crucial to his authorial identities and serves to foster his professionalization, and at the same time redefine his femininity in the context of the mid-nineteenth-century discourse on professionals. By doing so, this article will finally reveal how Victorian male novelists such as Dickens thought of their professional and gender identities, and especially their ideals and anxieties. This investigation will also shed light on the significant inter-relationship between Victorian professionalism and gender issues, especially in the world of authorship.
“The delights of intellectual vagrancy, of the improvised chase after a fleeting allusion”: Edith Wharton’s A Son at the Front
Authors: Montgomery Maureen E.
Published: October 2024

A Son at the Front was an underrated novel at the time of publication and consigned to the margins of World War I literature for many years. A number of contemporary reviewers failed to appreciate the depth of the novel, particularly with regard to Wharton’s complex use of allusions, and faulted it for being out of touch with modern fiction and being published at the wrong time. The years covered by the narrative had been consigned to history and events that had overtaken the period of American neutrality for those who sought retreat into isolationism. Memorialization of those who had fought and died in the war was, however, very much an ongoing process, particularly in the public erection of monuments among participant countries, and they have remained to this day the sites for public ceremonies of commemoration. This article focuses on Wharton’s reference to a knight’s effigy, Luca Signorelli, and a painting of the Inquisition attributed to Juan de Borgoña, to the Christian iconography of medieval and early Renaissance art, as a way of understanding how her novel probed the contestation over how to memorialize the death of soldiers in World War I amid a polarized response to American involvement.
Thrills of Twilight: Flappers in Edith Wharton’s Twilight Sleep (1927)
Authors: Salenius Sirpa
Published: October 2024

This article explores the tumultuous 1920s, a decade of vibrant urban culture that witnessed the birth of a new female figure, the flapper. The young flappers, who were products of fin-de-siècle urban modernity, were caught in-between conventional backgrounds and eccentric self-definitions, in the liminal twilight zone of their indeterminate desires. In Edith Wharton’s Twilight Sleep (1927) the flappers Nona Manford and Lita Cliffe Wyant are tied to the bodily gratifications of dancing, sports, alcohol, and sex, a cause for cultural anxiety, particularly when nonheteronormative. The homoerotic relationship between Nona and Lita becomes exposed through Nona’s gaze resting on Lita and her sensual body. Wharton’s flappers immerse themselves in sensory experiences that just like those of others are “permeated with social values,” according to David Howes. The way Nona and Lita engage their senses and explore sensations reflect their social status as their lives move on, extravagantly, with the fast beat of jazz, which in Nona’s case is later contrasted by immobility as she lies in her bed physically and emotionally wounded. In the end, Nona and Lita are pressured toward conventionality, but before then, they are most alive when engaged in the thrills of twilight that send tremors through their bodies.
Review of The Buccaneers, Apple TV+
Authors: Ferriss Suzanne
Published: October 2024

On 8 November 2023, Apple premiered an adaptation of The Buccaneers, created by Katherine Jakeways. The series revives the nineteenth century using lush production and costume design to comment anew on class division, race relations, and, above all, gender imbalances. Inevitably compared to Netflix’s smash Regency romance, Bridgerton, the series is more like Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, for it incorporates deliberately anachronistic music and contemporary speech to emphasize that the romantic and familial struggles of its characters resemble those of contemporary women. While it alters and embellishes Wharton’s original narrative, it retains the novel’s insistent critique of social rigidity and, surprisingly, introduces welcome nuance. In its own way, it follows Wharton in imagining a more modern existence of female freedom and solidarity.

The Apple Cart & On the Rocks: Is Bernard Shaw a Supporter of Reformative Dictatorship?
Authors: Eom Tae-Yong
Published: October 2024

George Bernard Shaw’s political comedies, The Apple Cart and On the Rocks, explore loopholes of representative democracy and Shaw’s prospect for reformative dictatorship as an alternative. The Apple Cart reveals the political apathy of English people with all good social welfare in the late twentieth century, which naturally leads to the parliamentary politics controlled by powerful conglomerates. In On the Rocks, representative democracy fails to address extreme unemployment, and the reform plan of the prime minister, Sir Arthur, faces opposition from both the labor class and the conservative. Therefore, Shaw hints at the temporary necessity for reformative dictatorship within constitutional limits.

Authors: Luan Yue , Luan Yun
Published: October 2024

This article emphasizes the importance of integrating humanistic knowledge into the ecological transformation within the fields of humanities, science, and technology, with a particular focus on how these ideas align with China's green development initiatives. The article critically explores the role of humanistic knowledge in fostering a sustainable relationship between humanity and nature, challenging the capitalist economic model that has historically alienated nature through the relentless exploitation of natural resources. This exploitation has prompted the development of new paradigms centered on sustainable growth, which prioritize environmental protection, the development of ecological industries, and the preservation of biodiversity. By using a comparative case study approach, the article analyzes the practices of Mexico's Conahcyt and China in global ecological governance, demonstrating how the adoption of these sustainable paradigms promotes a more inclusive approach to development. The ecological Marxism movement finds particular resonance in China's concept of Ecological Civilization, i.e., Eco-Marxism being Chinese in orientation. Additionally, the article examines how Mexico has integrated the humanities with science and technology through its Research and Development (R&D) initiatives, led by Conahcyt, to restore the balance between nature and society. The article further reviews the implications of these paradigms for global cooperation, highlighting China's Ecological Civilization Thinking as a guiding framework for global environmental governance, particularly during the 2021 Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15). This work underscores the need for innovative strategies that combine human knowledge with scientific and technological advancements to achieve sustainable development goals.
