The sport of handball is an intense game that is carried out over a long duration of two rounds, each of which runs for 30 minutes. A good VO2max condition is very important for every player to have in order to support performance during training and matches. This study aims to examine the application of circuit training methods to improving physical conditions, especially VO2max levels, in handball athletes. The circuit training method is considered an effective approach to improving athletes' endurance and fitness. This research is a type of experiment that uses a one-group pre-test-post design. The subjects in this study were the Sambas district handball team, aged 17–22 years. The purposive sampling technique resulted in 15 athletes being sampled. The handball athletes involved in this study underwent a circuit training method designed into the training program and carried out for 12 meetings with a frequency of three times a week. Measurement of VO2max level is carried out before and after the training period using the Yoyo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 instrument. The results showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. Based on these results, circuit training has proven to provide a significant increase in VO2max in handball athletes. The results of this study are expected to contribute to an understanding of the effectiveness of circuit training methods in improving physical conditions, especially VO2max levels, in handball athletes. The implications of this study can be useful in designing a more focused training program to improve the performance of handball athletes through a training approach that suits their physiological needs.

ARTICLE RETRACTED DUE TO PLAGIARISM BY THE AUTHORThe effect of aerobic running on children's thinking and endurance
Authors: Polevoy Georgiy
Published: March 2024

The aim is to assess the impact of prolonged running on the endurance and thinking indicators of children aged 9-10 years in physical education classes at school. Methods – the pedagogical experiment was conducted for 4 months on the basis of the secondary general educational school 60 (Kirov, Russia), 120 schoolchildren from the third grades took part in it. 34 physical education lessons were held in each class. Schoolchildren from the control group were engaged in a standard physical education program for younger schoolchildren. The children from the experimental group also worked within the framework of the usual program, but during each lesson they performed a long run of 6 minutes. Overall endurance was assessed using the K Cooper (6 minutes) test, the students' thinking was evaluated by the "Simple Analogies" test. Both tests were performed before and after the pedagogical experiment. Results – before the start of the study, there were no significant differences between classes in both tests (p>0.05). After the end of the study, the performance of children in the control group improved in the endurance test by 6.8% and 7.2% (p>0.05), and in the experimental group improved by 24.9% and 18.9% (p<0.05). In the thinking test, the indicators of the control group increased by 7.3% and 8.4% (p>0.05), and in the experimental group by 24.8% and 23.5% (p<0.05). Conclusion – long running can be introduced into the physical education program at school to improve endurance performance and thinking of schoolchildren 9-10 years old.

In this paper, a new mass-velocity relation is derived. The orbit of planetary motion is deduced based on this new relation and the Newtonian laws of motion along with the concept of proper time. The derivation does not use the tensor concept, but the relativistic orbit is obtained as a first approximation of the modified Newtonian theory. Next, we discuss the possibility of introducing a field dependent metric for the EM field by considering the observation that E2 - c2 B2 or E2 - B2 with c = 1 is approximately an invariant quantity for EM Field [1-3]. It is possible to extend the metric for the gravitational case also [4]. The discussion of anomalous characteristic of Lorentz Transformation (LT) and the introduction of a non-linear transformation connecting Local Space-time coordinates (ct,x) with proper system is continued.

This individual can now enjoy internet shopping whenever they want and from anywhere in the world thanks to the invention of smartphones and tablets. Online shopping has unquestionably taken the place of conventional methods for purchasing apparel and daily necessities. People benefit from a reputation as they pick internet buying. Almost all online retailers offer payment on delivery, free shipment, and special rates these days. These internet merchants have eliminated the hassles of parking, stuck in traffic, and standing in line to make purchases. They have also helped folks who consistently lament their lack of time. This is the primary justification for why most consumers now shop online. They may easily access a wide choice of affordable prices here, and they also get quick customer service and free home delivery. There is no denying that these are a few of the alluring aspects that draw customers in. Even though there is a minor problem that can make people lose interest in online buying, they might not be able to try on garments in such situations. By establishing a virtual changing room setting, the aim is to improve accessibility and time efficiency for trying on clothing. Our proposed methodology consists of three main components: skin color recognition, model alignment, and user image extraction from the video stream. Through user extraction, we may create an augmented reality environment by taking the user area out of the video stream and superimposing it on top of a simulated world within the user interface.

China’s peacekeeping activities within the UN: Features, challenges, and prospects
Authors: Li Qian
Published: March 2024

In recent years, China has been vigorously strengthening its international authority, consistently building its image as a responsible great power. One of the vivid manifestations of these efforts has been China’s active involvement in peacekeeping activities under the auspices of the United Nations. Currently, among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, China is the largest supplier of contingents for UN peacekeeping operations and the second largest donor of financing for these operations. At the same time, the PRC’s peacekeeping policy faces a number of endogenous and exogenous risks and challenges that remain somewhat understudied. The first section of the paper examines the key stages in the development of the PRC’s approaches to peacekeeping. It is shown that while all other members of the UN Security Council are gradually reducing the number of contingents and cutting funding to UN peacekeeping activities, China, on the contrary, is consistently increasing its of support for UN peacekeeping operations. The second section identifies current trends and prospects for the development of China’s peacekeeping activities. The author emphasizes that China is not only actively engaging into the existing UN peace-keeping mechanisms and initiatives, but also offers its own original conceptual approaches to address the challenges related to peacemaking and peacebuilding. The concept of ‘developmental peace’ proposed by Chinese researchers is of particular interest in this context. At the same time, as shown in the third section, this activity of the PRC faces a number of problems and challenges. The author notes that China’s objective contribution to peacekeeping activities and international recognition of its efforts are actually very asymmetrical. To this should be added the active efforts of Western countries aimed at discrediting the peacekeeping activities of the PRC, manifested in pushing of narratives about the exceptional selfishness of Chinese initiatives and China’s desire to achieve unilateral advantages in the ‘Taiwan issue’ by exploiting peacekeeping agenda. Assessing the prospects for the development of the PRC’s peacekeeping activities in these conditions, the author emphasizes the need to deepen cooperation with various regional organizations; increase the use of public diplomacy tools and improve the legislative framework for peacekeeping in China itself.
‘Bottom-up securitization’: A visual turn in security studies
Authors: Kucherov M. A. , Kharkevich M. V.
Published: March 2024

In the digital age, images have pervaded almost all spheres of public life and politics. International relations are no exception. The visual dimension of world politics attracts increasing attention which resulted in the emergence of the so-called visual turn in the theory of international relations. It gained particular prominence within the framework of constructivism and particularly within one of the central and most widespread constructivist theories, i.e. the securitization theory. The first section of the paper examines the concept of ‘visual turn’. The second section considers the current state of art of the securitization theory. The third section outlines key features and possible implications of ‘visual securitization’ to the study of international relations. To this end, the authors refer to a resonant case of a Syrian migrant boy Aylan Kurdi, who died in 2015 while trying to immigrate to Europe. The fourth section examines some limitations of the ‘visual securitization’ theory. The authors conclude that the ‘visual turn’ has led to a certain democratization of securitization practices by opening up new opportunities for the ‘bottom-up securitization’, or ‘people’s securitization’. Thus, it questions the traditional monopoly of political elites on the molding of a security narrative. At the same time, the ‘visual turn’ extends the list of possible reference objects of securitization, which comes to include not only domestic audiences, but also other communities. As a result, ‘visual securitization’ raises a number of new issues. In contrast to a traditional ‘speech act’, an image can be open to various interpretations and as such would make the process of interaction with the audience too complicated and inconsistent. The possibility of incorrect interpretation places increased demands on the communicative context and hinders the use of an image as an independent securitization tool. The authors argue that the key to addressing these issues lies in a more active use of artificial intelligence technologies and social networks.

The study examined globalization and economic growth in Nigeria from 1985 to 2021. The objectives of the study are to; determine the impact of financial openness on economic growth in Nigeria; examine the effect of the net exports on economic growth in Nigeria; and examine the impact of exchange rate on economic growth in Nigeria. Annual data was collected from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletins and World Development Index. The technique of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used to analyze the data. The empirical results showed that in the long run, all the variables of globalization have positive and significant relationship with economic growth in Nigeria during the period of study. In the short run, both financial openness and exchange rate have positive relationship with economic growth in Nigeria. But net exports have negative impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Based on these findings, it was concluded that, to a great extent economic globalization significantly accelerate economic growth in the long-run in the Nigerian economy. Based on these findings, it was recommended that, there should be creation of conducive environment to encourage openness of trade through inflow of investment that will trigger economic growth. Similarly, depreciation of the exchange rate which is an indicator of global price could be an obvious instrument that helps to drive the growth process in the Nigerian economy.

Karu local government council is one of the Local Government Areas of Nasarawa State in the North Central Zone of Nigeria with lots of environmental sustainability and conservation issues ranging from erosion, flooding, tree felling, dumping of refuses on unauthorized sites, indiscriminate digging of roads and sewages for private uses. This paper focuses on appraising the Bye-Laws of Karu Local Government as it relates to environmental conservation and sustainability with a view to ascertaining whether such Bye-Laws, were they exist, are effective and efficient enough to meet the conservation and environmental sustainability issues affecting the Council Area. It was found that Karu Local Government have Bye-Laws which happed on the environment by failed to provide for conservation and sustainability in a manner befitting a legislature that knows through research the impact of obnoxious toxic poisonous waste drawn from the Koko Village incident of 1988. It was recommended that an interim measure of Regulations by the Agriculture Department or the Forestry Section be made to conserve and sustain the environment in the Local Council till the legislature does the needful in enacting for conservation and sustainability in the Council Area. In conclusion, the paper aligned with the view that conservation of the environment is the duty of individuals and government in times where industrialization is demanding much from the human environment.

Danièle Huillet, Jean-Marie Straub
Authors: Turquety Benoît
Published: March 2024

Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub collaborated on films together from the mid-1960s through the mid-2000s, making formally radical adaptations in several languages of major works of European literature by authors including Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Hölderlin, Pierre Corneille, Arnold Schoenberg, Cesare Pavese, and Elio Vittorini. The impact of their work comes in part from a search for radical objectivity, a theme present in certain underground currents of modernist art and theory in the writings of Benjamin and Adorno as well as in the "Objectivist" movement, a crucial group within American modernist poetry whose members included Louis Zukofsky, George Oppen, and Charles Reznikoff, with connections to William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound. Through a detailed analysis of the films of Straub and Huillet, the works they adapted, and Objectivist poems and essays, Benoît Turquety locates common practices and explores a singular aesthetic approach where a work of art is conceived as an object, the artist an anonymous artisan, and where the force of politics and formal research attempt to reconcile with one another.
Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism
Authors: Szymanski Adam
Published: March 2024

The hegemonic meaning of depression as a universal mental illness embodied by an individualized subject is propped up by psychiatry’s clinical gaze. Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism turns to the work of contemporary filmmakers who express a shared concern for mental health under global capitalism to explore how else depression can be perceived. In taking their critical visions as intercessors for thought, Adam Szymanski proposes a thoroughly relational understanding of depression attentive to eventful, collective and contingent qualities of subjectivity. What emerges is a melancholy aesthetics attuned to the existential contours and political stakes of health.

Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism adventurously builds affinities across the lines of national, linguistic and cultural difference. The films of Angela Schanelec, Kelly Reichardt, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Kanakan Balintagos are grouped together for the first time, constituting a polystylistic common front of artist-physicians who live, work, and create on the belief that life can be more liveable.
Poetic Cinema and the Spirit of the Gift in the Films of Pabst, Parajanov, Kubrick, and Ruiz
Authors: Jayamanne Laleen
Published: March 2024

Poetic Cinema and the Spirit of the Gift in the Films of Pabst, Parajanov, Kubrick and Ruiz explores the poetic thinking of these master filmmakers. It examines theoretical ideas, including Maori anthropology of the gift and Sufi philosophy of the image, to conceive film as abundant gift. Elaborating on how this gift may be received, this book imagines film as our indispensable mentor - a wild mentor who teaches us how to think with moving images by learning to perceive evanescent forms that simply appear and disappear.
Special Effects and German Silent Film
Authors: Loew Katharina
Published: March 2024

In recent decades, special effects have become a major new area of research in cinema studies. For the most part, they have been examined as spectacles or practical tools. In contrast, Special Effects and German Silent Film, foregrounds their function as an expressive device and their pivotal role in cinema’s emergence as a full-fledged art. Special effects not only shaped the look of iconic films like Nosferatu (1922) or Metropolis (1927), but they are central to a comprehensive understanding of German silent film culture writ large. This book examines special effects as the embodiment of a “techno-romantic” paradigm that seeks to harness technology – the epitome of modern materialism – as a means for accessing a spiritual realm. Employed to visualize ideas and emotions in a medium–specific way, special effects thus paved the way for film art.
Film Phenomenology and Adaptation
Authors: Richard David Evan
Published: March 2024

Film Phenomenology and Adaptation: Sensuous Elaboration argues that in order to make sense of film adaptation, we must first apprehend their sensual form. Across its chapters, this book brings the philosophy and research methodology of phenomenology into contact with adaptation studies, examining how vision, hearing, touch, and the structures of the embodied imagination and memory thicken and make tangible an adaptation’s source. In doing so, this book not only conceives adaptation as an intertextual layering of source material and adaptation, but also an intersubjective and textural experience that includes the materiality of the body.
From City Space to Cyberspace
Authors: Wasielewski Amanda
Published: March 2024

The narrative of the birth of internet culture often focuses on the achievements of American entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, but there is an alternative history of internet pioneers in Europe who developed their own model of network culture in the early 1990s. Drawing from their experiences in the leftist and anarchist movements of the ’80s, they built DIY networks that give us a glimpse into what internet culture could have been if it were in the hands of squatters, hackers, punks, artists, and activists. In the Dutch scene, the early internet was intimately tied to the aesthetics and politics of squatting. Untethered from profit motives, these artists and activists aimed to create a decentralized tool that would democratize culture and promote open and free exchange of information.
Moving Pictures and Renaissance Art History
Authors: Emison Patricia
Published: March 2024

Film, like the printed imagery inaugurated during the Renaissance, spread ideas not least the idea of the power of visual art – across not only geographical and political divides but also strata of class and gender. Moving Pictures and Renaissance Art History examines the early flourishing of film, from the 1920s to the mid-1960s, as partly reprising the introduction of mass media in the Renaissance, allowing for innovation that reflected an art free of the control of a patron though required to attract a broad public. Rivalry between word and image, between the demands of narrative and those of visual composition, spurred new ways of addressing the compelling nature of the visual. The twentieth century also saw the development of the discipline of art history; transfusions between cinematic practice and art historical postulates are part of the story told here.
Evaluating the Pseudorelative-First Hypothesis: Evidence from self-paced reading and persistence effects
Authors: Cairncross Alex , Vogelzang Margreet , Tsimpli Ianthi
Published: March 2024

Within the psycholinguistic literature, there has been a longstanding debate regarding whether we resolve syntactic parsing ambiguities via universal or language-specific biases. The present study investigates attachment biases in the online parsing of ‘relative clause’ (RC) attachment in Italian with respect to pseudorelative (PR) availability. Following the PR account Grillo (2012), languages are assumed to universally prefer local attachment. When languages appear to prefer non-local attachment, this is due (at least partially) to the availability of PRs. Specifically, Grillo and Costa (2014) suggest that whenever a string is ambiguous between a PR and a RC, the parser will prefer the PR parse, resulting in apparent non-local attachment. Although there is growing evidence that PR availability indeed affects offline interpretations, few studies have explored this account from an online perspective. Hence, we conducted a self-paced reading task in Italian. In that task, we directly manipulated PR availability and attachment. Reading times for the critical and postcritical regions along with accuracy to comprehension questions were subjected to mixed-effect regressions. Consistent with the PR account, online results indicated a clear bias for local attachment with true RCs. When PRs were available, we observed a non-local bias. Additionally, the present study provides novel evidence in support of the PR-First Hypothesis, as results indicated that the initial preference for PRs may persist and affect the interpretation of even globally disambiguated items.

Objective: To compare interferon-inducible patient-10 and chemokine lisgand-2 expression in COVID-19 Patients.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Lahore Pakistan, from Dec 2020 to Mar 2021.
Methodology: We assessed the level of cytokines in forty-five COVID-19 patients and compared it with the 45 healthy individuals. The pro-inflammatory cytokines IP-10 and CCL-2 levels were evaluated in patients and healthy people via ELISA kits.
Results: The study included ninety (n=90) patients. Our data suggested that the serum levels of IP-10 and CCL-2 were increased (8.5±1.5 ng/ml and 11.89±4.55 pg/ml) significantly in patients with COVID-19 as compared to healthy Controls (4±0.5ng/ml and 6.15±1.91 pg/ml). A significant increase was recorded in INR, PT (sec) and APTT (sec) levels in COVID-19 patients. Whereas the platelets count (109/ml) was decreased significantly in COVID-19 patients (220±42) as compared to healthy individuals (419±69). Significant elevation of D-Dimer (ng/ml) was recorded in patients with COVID-19.
Conclusion: Our data suggested a significantly increased level of IP-10 and CCL-2 in COVID-19-associated patients, which may be of essential diagnostic and prognostic significance for these biomarkers.

FEATURES OF THE ARMENIAN AND RUSSIAN TRANSLATIONS OF A. MORAVIA’S NOVELS “CHOCHARA” AND “CONTEMPT”
Authors: VOSKANYAN ZARUHI
Published: March 2024

The subject of the study of this article is the general linguistic
characteristics and features of the Armenian and Russian translations of A.
Moravia’s novels “Chochara” and “Contempt”. The novel “Chochara” is
characterized by the use of folk words and dialectal forms, proverbs and
sayings, phraseological units, as well as neologisms that describe the
characters and the situations in which they find themselves in an extremely
vivid, accurate, real and convincing manner. Unlike “Chocharа”, the language
of the novel “Contempt” is in no way connected with elements of the
language of folk speech; the literary language of the novel is distinguished by
elements characteristic of bourgeois language and vocabulary. The structure
of the novel seems quite complex from a syntactic point of view, but it is
presented clearly and simply to the reader. Thus, we can conclude that the
armenian translations of two novels of A. Moravian are an important
achievement not only for armenian translated literature, but also for the new
literary armenian language.

Quinoa is a pseudo-grain crop, an annual plant, a species of the genus Mar (Chenopodium) of the Amaranthaceae family. Quinoa is cultivated for both grain and green mass. Back in 1996, the FAO classified quinoa as one of the most promising crops for humans. For economically developed countries, quinoa in the 21st century serves to expand the range of nutritionally valuable crops. For Russia, quinoa is also promising for cultivation in connection with the "Strategy for improving the quality of food products" approved by the Government of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. Quinoa has a high nutritional value. Its adaptive potential and high ecological plasticity make it possible to grow quinoa in a wide range of agroecological conditions.

The African union agenda 2063 (AU Agenda 2063) intents to accelerate Africa’s economic transformation and promote sustainable development. The exponential growth model and monomolecular growth model were used to model and project various socio-demographic and economic indicators for Nigeria, including population, unemployment rate, access to electricity, military spending, GDP, and trade balance. Data from year 1991 to 2019 were used to fit the models, and predictions were made for the period from 2020 to 2063. The exponential growth rate model assumes that a population or other variables will continue to grow at an accelerating rate over time. The monomolecular growth rate model, on the other hand, assumes that growth will slow down and eventually level off as the population or variable reaches a saturation or optimum point. The study also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the exponential growth rate and the monomolecular growth rates models in forecasting the indicators. Additionally, the exponential growth rate and monomolecular growth rate models were used to forecast the indicators. The results show that Nigeria’s population is projected to triple from 206 million in 2020 to 631 million in 2063, while the unemployment rate is projected to quadruple from 6.8% to 27.5%. The access to electricity is projected to increase from 35% to 123% in 2063, while the GDP is projected to increase from $603 billion in 2020 to $15 trillion in 2063. The military spending is projected to increase from 2.6 billion USD to 33.94 billion USD, and the trade balance is projected to increase from 15 billion USD in 2020 to 29.99 billion USD in 2063. The results show that the projected indicators align with the 2063 Africa Agenda and recommends policies that would foster sustainable economic growth and development in Nigeria. By understanding the trends and patterns of these socio-economic indicators, policymakers can make informed decisions about how to allocate resources and promote sustainable development in Nigeria and beyond.
The Impact of Types of Institutional on Market Liquidity
Authors: BELKHIR Nadia

This paper investigates the roles institutional investors play in a representative emerging market, focusing on the relationship between institutional ownership and stock market liquidity in Saudi Arabia. In particular, we examine the relation between stock liquidity and institutional ownership by type of institution. The expected impact of insurance companies on liquidity is ambiguous. On the one hand, institutional investors as insurance companies are considered to have access to private information about the firm because either they have resources to make analyses on the firm and acquire information. Hence, increased institutional ownership should lead to wider spreads and higher adverse selection costs. Market makers are made to expand the spread and thus they would be forced to own a larger inventory position in stocks with a higher institutional ownership. These factors explain the negative impact of institutional ownership on liquidity. On the other hand, institutional investors are indirect, and their investment policy is to hold diversified portfolios that compensate them.

INTRODUCTION

Open fractures are potentially devastating injuries for the professional athlete. We sought to compare return to sports (RTS) and performance in National Football League (NFL) athletes sustaining open versus closed fractures.

METHODS

NFL athletes with surgically treated open and closed fractures of the forearm, tibial shaft, and ankle from 2009-2018 were identified through publicly available reports and records. Data including demographics, RTS, career duration, and the approximate value performance metric before and after injury were collected. Statistical analyses were performed comparing open to closed injuries. Continuous variables were compared using Mann-Whitney U or two sample t- tests while categorical variables were compared using Fisher’s exact test.

RESULTS

Ninety-five athletes met inclusion criteria (10 open and 85 closed fractures). Overall, 90% (n = 9) returned to sport after an open injury and 83.5% (n = 71) returned after closed injury with a median time missed of 48.9 (range 35.1 – 117.4) weeks and 43.0 (range 2.4 – 108.0) weeks, respectively. Athletes undergoing forearm surgery were able to return sooner, at around 20.8 weeks, and ankle fractures conferred the lowest return rate at 80% (n = 48). There were no significant differences in career duration and post-injury performance between open or closed fracture cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS

Although open fractures are relatively uncommon injuries seen in NFL athletes, our study suggests RTS for these players is high. Athletes undergoing surgical treatment for open fractures had similar RTS rates, performance metrics, and career durations compared to those with comparable closed fractures. This information can provide guidance for providers counseling elite athletes on postoperative expectations.
