Bigger data, better questions, and a return to fourth down behavior: an introduction to a special issue on tracking datain the National football League
Authors: Lopez Michael J.
Published: May 2020

Most historical National Football League (NFL) analysis, both mainstream and academic, has relied on public, play-level data to generate team and player comparisons. Given the number of oft omitted variables that impact on-field results, such as play call, game situation, and opponent strength, findings tend to be more anecdotal than actionable. With the release of player tracking data, however, analysts can better ask and answer questions to isolate skill and strategy. In this article, we highlight the limitations of traditional analyses, and use a decades-old punching bag for analysts, fourth-down strategy, as a microcosm for why tracking data is needed. Specifically, we assert that, in absence of using the precise yardage needed for a first down, past findings supporting an aggressive fourth down strategy may have been overstated. Next, we synthesize recent work that comprises this special Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports issue into player tracking data in football. Finally, we conclude with some best practices and limitations regarding usage of this data. The release of player tracking data marks a transition for the league and its’ analysts, and we hope this issue helps guide innovation in football analytics for years to come.

Learning in Context: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach to Analyze Knowledge Acquisition at Trade Fairs
Authors: Zhu Yi-wen , Bathelt Harald , Zeng Gang
Published: May 2020

Conceptualizations of trade fairs as temporary clusters have identified important learning processes at such events, particularly at leading international trade fairs – both in developed and developing countries. However, little attention has been paid to the home contexts of participating firms that may affect knowledge acquisition patterns. In particular, it is unclear which contextual factors may influence learning behavior. This paper aims to investigate the role of geographical context conditions at the exhibitors’ permanent locations and whether their knowledge acquisition behavior during trade fairs varies systematically with aspects, such as city scale, peripherality, growth dynamics and connectivity. Our analysis is based on a survey of 211 firms conducted between 2014 and 2018 at the China International Industry Fair (CIIF) in Shanghai – one of Asia’s most important manufacturing fairs. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the study identifies significant pathways of knowledge acquisition and how these differ with geographical context.

Published: May 2020

Potentilla anserina L. is not only a medicinal plant, but also a traditional cuisine. Hence, an acute toxicity study was performed to confirm its safety profile. Forty Kunming mice were randomly divided into two groups: control group and P. anserina L. extract group. Using the maximum dosage method, the P. anserina L. extract group was given the maximum dose within 12 h, equivalent to 345.6 g/kg crude drug. The control group was given distilled water. After administration, toxicity symptoms of mice were observed, body weight and food intake were recorded. After 14 days, blood was collected to measure biochemical parameters, autopsy was carried out to observe the changes of organs, and the vital organs were separated, weighed, and preserved for histopathological examination. The results showed that P. anserina L. extract group had no toxic symptoms. The activity, weight, and diet of mice were normal, and no abnormality was found in organ index, renal function, liver function, anatomical observation, and histopathological examination. Therefore, the maximum oral dosage (345.6 g/kg) of P. anserina L. was good safety. This study indicated that P. anserina L. had a large safety range and the clinical application was safe.
Students as partners in e-contents creation: A case study exploring student-staff partnership for learning and student engagement using digital applications for co-creation of e-learning materials
Authors: Nahar Nurun , Cross Duncan
Published: May 2020

In order to enable learners to take control of their learning needs and actively contribute in their learning processes, educators can partner with students in various reciprocal student-staff partnership (SSP) settings where students can be co-creators, co-producers, curators, or co-deliverers of the curriculum. Our project, undertaken to enhance the curriculum as part of a teaching qualification, places emphasis on educators partnering with first-year undergraduate students over e-content creation within an existing module, using readily accessible digital applications in order to promote active learning in students and improve student engagement. In this case study, we evaluate the extent to which SSP, as an approach to the creation of e-learning materials using digital applications, enhanced learning and student engagement in an existing module. Our student partners perceived SSP to be an excellent platform for learning, actively engaging in the classroom, and developing skills such as communication and digital literacy. However, they expressed some concerns about overcoming the traditional hierarchies within our SSP initiative
Redefining the roles of master and apprentice: Crossing the threshold through the co-creation of a first-year seminar
Authors: Kiester Elizabeth , Holowko Joseph
Published: May 2020

Students as Partners is an innovative approach to higher education that seeks to redefine both student and faculty roles and expectations on college campuses through the creation of equitable and inclusive partnerships in a variety of ways. This paper details our research in the co-creation of the curriculum for an undergraduate first-year seminar. It describes our journey from conceptualization to assessment of the course including creating the class, administering it for first-year students in the fall of 2018, and evaluating how successful the course was based on both our own perspectives, as well as student course feedback. Findings suggest that both partners had a transformative experience in which they crossed a threshold, creating new expectations surrounding roles and relationships for future student-faculty partnerships. Additionally, the students enrolled in the course provided feedback about the perceived successfulness of the co-created curriculum and the overall course experience based on our collaborative efforts.
Our quest for success: Using a multidisciplinary students-as-partners model to develop an innovative online learning game
Authors: Burling Meredith G.H. , Rahouma Lina , Good Arla , Kasper Joleine C , Kranyak Samantha , Ramnarine Kieran , Bramesfeld Kosha
Published: May 2020

In their review of the students-as-partners literature, Mercer-Mapstone et al. (2017) found that only 5-6% of published research articles on student-partnership models focused on multidisciplinary partnerships. This case study, authored by five undergraduate students and two academics, sought to examine the utility of using a multidisciplinary students-as-partners approach to advance the development of an online learning game focused on food insecurity. The multidisciplinary nature of the partnership facilitated perceptions of an equitable partnership, contributed to innovative design ideas, and conferred several benefits to the collaborators beyond those traditionally seen in the students-as-partners literature (Mercer-Mapstone et al., 2017). However, the multidisciplinary nature of the partnership also posed unique mentoring and coordination challenges that should be considered when adopting a multidisciplinary approach to teaching innovation.
Politicised compassion and pedagogical partnership: A discourse and practice for social justice in the inclusive academy
Authors: Gibson Suanne , Cook-Sather Alison
Published: May 2020

Despite changes prompted by global legalisation and policy developments for social justice and inclusion, many institutions of higher education remain driven by neoliberal values, an endemic culture of performativity, and an emphasis on individual success. These phenomena inform, disfigure, and invert inclusion and equality in policy, practice, and outcome. In response, we propose politicised compassion fostered through pedagogical partnership as a political and social justice reaction to the status quo. This paper explores this proposal, grounding it in international research studies on student experience, partnership, and equality. The work’s novelty is in its advancement of Zembylas’ (2013) work on “critical compassion” through what we term politicised compassion with the goal of enabling sustained student agency, student success, and the creation of active, considerate citizens. Our work invites critical considerations of where such a discourse for meaningful social justice and equality can take place within the academy.
Holding space and engaging with difference: Navigating the personal theories we carry into our pedagogical partnership practices
Authors: Ostrowdun Christopher , Friendly Rayna , Matthews Kelly , De Bie Alise , Roelofs Frits
Published: May 2020

Partnerships between students and faculty are increasingly established within higher education. Everyone’s unique life story or background influences how they understand partnership praxis. Acknowledging individual understandings of student-faculty partnership matters because personal stories can influence how such partnerships form, function, and evolve. We, as students and faculty, share our individual theories of partnership to illuminate differing ways people can make sense of partnership as praxis. Using a reflective, autoethnographic research approach, we unpack two interdependent threads from our narratives: (a) holding space for how personal histories shape the experience of partnership and (b) engaging the messiness of partnership. To understand and nurture inclusive practices, we contend, means engaging the unique standpoints and social positions that both students and faculty bring into partnerships. Instead of attempting to collapse and converge different perspectives of partnership, we take pause to consider how these differences can enrich partnerships and be honoured throughout a partnership
HIV Tat Protein Selectively Impairs CB1Receptor-Mediated Presynaptic Inhibition at Excitatory But Not Inhibitory Synapses
Authors: Wu Mariah M. , Thayer Stanley A.
Published: May 2020

Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy in suppressing viral load, nearly half of the 37 million people infected with HIV experience cognitive and motor impairments, collectively classified as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). In the CNS, HIV-infected microglia release neurotoxic agents that act indirectly to elicit excitotoxic synaptic injury. HIV trans-activator of transcription (Tat) protein is one such neurotoxin that is thought to play a major role in the neuropathogenesis of HAND. The endocannabinoid (eCB) system provides on-demand neuroprotection against excitotoxicity, and exogenous cannabinoids attenuate neurotoxicity in animal models of HAND. Whether this neuroprotective system is altered in the presence of HIV is unknown. Here, we examined the effects of Tat on the eCB system in rat primary hippocampal cultures. Using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology, we measured changes in retrograde eCB signaling following exposure to Tat. Treatment with Tat significantly reduced the magnitude of depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE) in a graded manner over the course of 48 h. Interestingly, Tat did not alter this form of short-term synaptic plasticity at inhibitory terminals. The Tat-induced decrease in eCB signaling resulted from impaired CB1receptor (CB1R)-mediated presynaptic inhibition of glutamate release. This novel loss-of-function was particularly dramatic for low-efficacy agonists such as the eCB 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Our observation that HIV Tat decreases CB1R functionin vitrosuggests that eCB-mediated neuroprotection may be reducedin vivo; this effect of Tat may contribute to synaptodendritic injury in HAND.

Plasma concentration of Cystatin C (CysC) level is a biomarker of glomerular filtration rate in the kidney. We use a Systems Genetics approach to investigate the genetic determinants of plasma CysC concentration. To do so we perform Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) and expression QTL (eQTL) analysis of 120 Diversity Outbred (DO) female mice, 56 weeks of age. We performed network analysis of kidney gene expression to determine if the gene modules with common functions are associated with kidney biomarkers of chronic kidney diseases. Our data demonstrates that plasma concentrations and kidney mRNA levels of CysC are associated with genetic variation and are transcriptionally coregulated by immune genes. Specifically, Type-I interferon signaling genes are coexpressed with Cst3 mRNA levels and associated with CysC concentrations in plasma. Our findings demonstrate the complex control of CysC by genetic polymorphisms and inflammatory pathways.

The Sunset of Social Democracy in East-Central Europe: Case Study of Hungary
Authors: Gudžinskas Liutauras
Published: May 2020

The article analyzes the reasons of the long-term decay of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) since 2010. The party ruled the country between 1994–1998 and 2002–2010 and was one of the strongest and most institutionalized political forces not only in Hungary but in the whole East-Central Europe. However, during the parliamentary elections in 2010, it suffered a crushing defeat by their main political opponents – “Fidesz,” led by V. Orbán. The organizational development of these two parties is compared. Collected evidence reveal the significance of centralized party rule and efforts to organize civil society in shaping the intra-competition of the main Hungarian political parties.

Published: May 2020

The use of recombinant thrombin in the manufacture of fibrin glue allows diseases contamination to be avoided. However, the expression of recombinant protein in E. coli still has a disadvantage of the formation of inclusion bodies, so it needs to be minimized by co-expression of chaperones. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of single DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE and GroEL/ES chaperone expression and their combination on the expression of intein-pretrombin-2Ti,pH on E. coli ER2566. The method started with isolation of pTWIN1-prethrombin-2Ti,pH and pG-KJE8 from E. coli TOP10F' and DH5α respectively, the co-transformation of the expression host E. coli ER2566 using pG-KJE8 and pTWIN1-prethrombin-2Ti,pHvectors, the chaperone co-expression was induced using L-Arabinosa before IPTG induction and cell culture growth was incubated at 22 oC. The expression products were characterized by using Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. The results of the co-expression of chaperone showed that the number of soluble fraction was higher than the one without co-expression of chaperone. In addition, the co-expression of chaperone using pG-KJE8 in intein-prothrombin-2Ti,pH expression was sufficient using tetracycline as an inducer.

A series of nanoporous carbon was prepared with MOF-5 as a template and furfuryl alcohol as an additional carbon source by carbonation at temperatures of 550 °C and 900 °C, respectively, with and without activation using KOH. XRD patterns of the obtained carbons before and after the activation process showed characteristic peaks at the same 2θ values, which corresponded to the XRD pattern of a ZnO. The Surface morphology of the MOF-5 templated carbon with a carbonation temperature of 550 °C was in the form of a cube. In contrast, the one carbonated at 900 °C had a cubic and circular morphology. The N2 adsorption-desorption isothermal showed that MOF-5 templated carbon had a larger specific surface area, pore diameter, and pore volume than those of the original MOF-5. Activation of the MOF-5 templated carbon using KOH resulted in a decrease in surface area and pore volume. All the materials were measured for their hydrogen adsorption at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using a gravimetric method.

Published: May 2020

Mobile phones have become commonplace everyday objects in almost all societies regardless of their development stage. The presence of these devices has become a constant on any latitude, as shown by the penetration rate figures for 2018: 65.9%. These numbers, already surprising on their own, reach even higher values among young people. Thus, this paper studies the use of mobile phones, in particular smartphones, by young Portuguese and Brazilian university students. For this purpose, an app that registered all the uses made by the youngsters in their mobile devices, was employed. This methodology allows data collection in a daily context without the participants feeling controlled. A total of 317,938 interactions, registered in the participants devices, shows that the main use given to these devices is as a platform for access to social networks, followed by the sending of messages and the variable “second uses” of the device (watch, calendar, camera, calendar and calculator). Although this is a study in progress, at this stage it is safe to state that the data confirm previous studies (FORTUNATI; TAIPALE, 2014) in which smartphones assert themselves as a verbal written communication platform in opposition to their genesis based on orality.***Telefones celulares no cotidiano dos jovens: um estudo de caso com estudantes portugueses e brasileiros***Os telefones celulares se tornaram objetos comuns do dia-a-dia em quase todas as sociedades, independentemente do estágio de desenvolvimento.

Comprehensive physiotherapy management in covid-19 – a narrative review
Authors: Kalirathinam Deivendran , Guruchandran Raj , Subramani Prabhakar
Published: May 2020

The 2019 novel coronavirus officially named as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by the World Health Organization, has spread to more than 180 countries. The ongoing global pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, spread to the United Kingdom (UK) in January 2020. Transmission within the UK was confirmed in February, leading to an epidemic with a rapid increase in cases in March. As on April 25- 2020, there have been 148,377 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the UK and 20,319 people with confirmed infection have died. Survival of critically ill patients is frequently associated with significant functional impairment and reduced health-related quality of life. Early physiotherapy and community rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients has recently been identified as an essential therapeutic tool and has become a crucial evidence-based component in the management of these patients. This comprehensive narrative review aims to describe recent progress in the application of physiotherapy management in COVID 19 patients. Assessment and evidence- based treatment of these patients should include prevention, reduction of adverse consequences in immobilization, and long-term impairment sequelae. A variety of techniques and modalities of early physiotherapy in intensive care unit are suggested by clinical research. They should be applied according to the stage of the disease, comorbidities, and patient’s level of cooperation.
Control and Accounts Body as a Strategic Partner of the Regional Authorities for Territorial Development
Authors: Mordvintsev Alexander , Nadtochiy Elena , Polyakov Dmitry
Published: May 2020

By means of analyzing open data of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation the authors analyze challenges in strategic planning in Russia, which include the lack of paper unification, divergence of attitudes of various departments and low efficiency of Russian records management. The authors conclude that efforts are being made at the federal level to develop the sphere of strategic planning. The article presents information on “Digital strategic planning” project which is aimed at the formation of an intelligent system of support for management decisions. Despite the seriousness and importance of the work planned by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the efforts should be made to implement the papers on strategic planning in order to ensure effective strategic management. The article proves the need for the consistent, sustainable and successful implementation of strategic documents by the corresponding local authorities, taking into account the prospects of their potential on the basis of the risk factor analysis, including the results of the activities of control and accounts bodies. The authors propose a model of strategic partnership of these bodies based on a common interest, where actions of one participant determine the reaction and present an incentive for other participants. The article substantiates the necessity for the implementation of new roles by modern bodies of financial control: an advisor and a strategic partner. The article suggests their relationship with the functions and types of activities. The paper presents the areas of strategic partnership in the framework of territory development in a comprehensive manner based on the activities of Volgograd Control and Accounts Chamber and municipal authorities.
Development Specificity of Russian Regions and the Environmental Kuznets Curve
Authors: Druzhinin Pavel , Shkiperova Galina , Potasheva Olga
Published: May 2020

Economic development due to the increased production and consumption growth has a negative impact on the environment. It is possible to estimate and analyze the environmental changes by creating economic models that reveal the effect of different factors on the balance of natural environment. The approach proposed in the current article is based on calculating the functions of pollution, which allows analyzing different ways of investment distribution, estimating the impact of the economy structure change, and considering the dynamics of investments and costs of environmental protection. The article also examines the correlation between environmental and economic indicators of the development of different regions in Russia, builds models describing the correlation, defines the groups of regions with similar environmental and economic characteristics and proposes calculations. The authors demonstrate that the development of 3 groups of regions is described by the environmental Kuznets curve with different parameters, and specify the values of the gross regional product per capita when the emissions may start decreasing. For each of the four determined groups of regions of Russia the factors influencing the emission of pollutants in the atmosphere are revealed. Russian regions vary significantly depending on their level of social and economic development, and hence it is important to estimate how the differences influence on the type and on the parameters of the applied models, and therefore on the environmental and economic processes. The study makes it possible to conclude that improvement in the environmental situation is connected with investments into economy modernization, in developing new sectors of economy and in protecting the atmosphere. The obtained results will facilitate getting more precise forecasts of environmental and economic processes and regional development strategies.
Financial Mechanism of Stimulating the Development of Southern Regions on the Basis of Credit Cooperation
Authors: Gryzunova Natalia , Pyatanova Victoria , Shuvalova Elena
Published: May 2020

The article studies manifestations of the transmission of monetary policy, namely the change in the investment demand and overcoming the deficit of working capital. An especially acute shortage of investments is observed at the meso level. To accelerate the growth rates of regional economies, a new direction is being developed that can create additional transmission impulses. It is the use of non-profit organizations of the credit sector or credit consumer cooperatives, which can be called the innovation of the financial sector and a new element in the regional cluster. Regional companies and credit organizations have less financial independence and flexibility in comparison with firms of the central region. Structural changes have led to the emergence of the bank system with layers, each layer having its business model and customer sector. The authors offer a set of measures to optimize credit flows in the region after analyzing the needs of regional organizations, taking into account the possibility of choosing sources and conditions of lending, which is achieved by the system of requirements that borrowers have to comply with. Clusterization of organizations and inclusion of a credit consumer cooperative in the cluster will expand the boundaries of organizations’ money management models and change the effectiveness of risk management. To reduce the credit risks of banks, it is possible to create additional financial products for short-term lending or to interact with self-regulatory organizations of credit consumer cooperatives. The main research method is based on the DSGE model and clustering processes. The dominant principle is the general dynamic equilibrium. The approach proposed by the authors allows solving the current urgent problem situations in the field of lending, which affect the investment demand, the global competitiveness of companies and credit risk.

Doctor Who, Family and National Identity
Authors: Nicol Danny
Published: May 2020

National identity is often intimately bound to connectedness to, independence from, and constructions of, family. Furthermore, family remains integral to neoliberal capitalism such that efforts to develop national identity along capitalist lines are likely to involve engagement with it. Legal changes in Britain over the last forty years reflect these constructions. Doctor Who is a science fiction programme in which an alien (the Doctor) has adventures with mainly human companions, travelling in time and space in a ship called the TARDIS. As the BBC’s longest-running television drama series, and one with a long-term focus on projecting Britishness, Doctor Who valuably charts how national identity has evolved. In the context of the Doctor’s companions in particular, Doctor Who’s treatment of family has altered starkly over time. This article identifies an orphan companions era in the programme’s early years in which characters’ families were either startlingly unmentioned or dead, leaving the TARDIS ‘family’ unchallenged. After a transitional phase in the 1980s in which each companion’s family assumed only fleeting significance, the programme’s post-2005 reboot ushered in an era of deep engagement with family in which families assume seminal importance. By putting family centre stage, Doctor Who captures the spirit of the age, marking a refashioning of British national identity in which family looms large. This reflects Britain’s transition from social democracy to neoliberalism. Distancing itself from conservatism, however, Doctor Who’s promotion of family goes hand in hand with the programme developing its own more progressive take on what constitutes the ‘good family’.

Akarsu akım değişimlerinin taşkınlara neden olduğu ve çevresel sorunların ortaya çıktığı havzalarda akım trendlerin bilinmesi önem taşımaktadır. Akarsu akımlarındaki değişimlerin bilinmesi su kaynaklarının kullanımı ve planlanması açısından gereklidir. Meriç Nehri’nin Türkiye sınırları içinde kalan bölümü yerleşim ve sanayi faaliyetleri açısından aktif bir bölgedir. Bu bağlamda Aşağı Meriç Nehri araştırma konusu açısından önemli bir örnek alan oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Aşağı Meriç Nehri akım değişimlerinin taşkınlar üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla, 4 farklı akım gözlem istasyonu (AGİ) verileri kullanılarak parametrik olmayan trend analizi yöntemleri uygulanmıştır. Akımların aylık, yıllık ve mevsimsel trendlerinin belirlenmesinde Mann-Kendall Trend Analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Trendlerin lineer eğimleri Sen’in Trend Eğim Metodu kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, incelenen 4 istasyonda yukarı yönlü trend eğilimleri tespit edilmiştir. En anlamlı sonuçlara taşkınların etkili olduğu Kirişhane AGİ’nda rastlanmıştır. Kirişhane AGİ tüm aylarda pozitif yönlü trendlerin varlığı görülmüştür. Yıllık olarak %5’lik önem düzeyinde artan yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir trend belirlenmiştir. Her mevsimde artan yönde bir trend olduğu görülmüş, özellikle sonbahar mevsiminde %1’lik güven aralığında pozitif yönlü istatiksel olarak anlamlı trend tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak akım trendlerinin yıllık ve mevsimlik etkilerine bağlı olarak taşkınların formunun değiştiği ve taşkınlarda ciddi bir artış olduğu gözlenmiştir.

Authors: Al-rawafi Abdulkhaleq
Published: May 2020

Learners of a second language struggle to select and produce appropriate different kinds of speech acts due to their complexity. The students of the Islamic boarding schools are assigned to acquire two non-native languages compulsory and concurrently, namely Arabic and English. This study adapts the descriptive analytical approach to investigate the pragmalinguistic of the speech acts of apologizing in the Arabic language as produced by non-native speakers with special focus to the IFIDs. The participants are 202 students recruited to fill in a DCT that consists of eight situations regarding the students’ violation of the rules of the school. The results show that the students tend to use certain semantic formulas of apologies due to their lack of linguistic proficiency. To conclude, these forms are template slots of the IFID in which the non-native apologizer can slot his/her apology within these templates, and hence, enrich their pragmatic competence ability.
