La ironía como instrumento de crítica social en Recursos humanos de Antonio Ortuño
Authors: Zárate Julio
Published: August 2021

La presencia de la ironía en el texto literario permite plantear un discurso crítico que busca evidenciar las contradicciones y defectos de la sociedad, mediante un juego que exige distinguir entre el ser y el parecer. El presente artículo propone un análisis de las distintas formas y figuras bajo las cuales se manifiesta la ironía en la novela Recursos humanos (2007), del escritor mexicano Antonio Ortuño. Recurrir a la ironía, a través de la parodia, el cinismo y el sarcasmo le permite al autor hacer una crítica mordaz del individualismo del mundo laboral.

Authors: Andrade-Becerra R. J. , Tarazona-Manrique L. E , Vargas-Abella J. C.
Published: August 2021

Este estudio se llevó a cabo para establecer la prevalencia e identificar los factores de riesgo asociados con las infestaciones por tremátodos en ganado lechero Holstein en el valle de Paipa-Boyacá. Las muestras fecales recogidas de 100 bovinos seleccionados aleatoriamente se examinaron utilizando una técnica de sedimentación simple para el recuento diferencial de huevos tremátodos. Se buscaron huevos de tres grupos de tremátodos, a saber: Fasciola hepatica, Paramphistomum spp., y Cotylophorum spp. La prevalencia específica de trematodos para F. hepática, Paramphistomum spp., y Cotylophorum spp., fue del 12%, 9% y 4%, respectivamente. Se observó una superposición sustancial en el recuento de F. hepatica y Paramphistomum spp. La prevalencia de los tres tremátodos identificados en este estudio se asoció significativamente (P <0,05) con la condición corporal y la raza, mientras que la prevalencia de Fasciola hepatica y Paramphistomum spp., fue asociada con la edad. La prevalencia de los tres principales trematodos de importancia para la salud animal con una alta tasa de infestación mixta junto con una mala condición corporal, sugiere una pérdida económica sustancial incurrida debido a la reducción de la productividad del ganado en el área de estudio.
Heritability and correlation coefficient analysis for grain yield and yield-related traits in spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Authors: Dyulgerova B. , Valcheva D. , Valchev D. , Babulicova M. , Havrlentova M.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The objectives of this study were to estimate the heritability of yield and yield-related traits and to compute the correlation of grain yield with yield-related traits among the spring barley genotypes. The experiment was laid out in a complete block design with three replications in the Institute of Agriculture – Karnobat, Bulgaria during two consecutive years 2017 and 2018. Genotypes differed significantly for all the traits studied. Genotypic coefficients of variation were lower than the corresponding phenotypic coefficients in all the traits studied, indicating a considerable influence of the environment on the expression of the traits. Estimates for broad-sense heritability ranged from 0.65% for grain number per spike to 44.20% for 1000-grain weight. Moderate heritability coupled with relatively high genetic advance as a percent of the mean was found for 1000-grain weight suggesting a reliable possibility for improvement through selection. A significant and positive correlation between grain yield and number of spikes per m2 and grain weight per spike was found. Results of path analysis showed that grain weight per spike and number of spikes per m2 exhibited the highest direct effects on grain yield. The number of spikes per m2 was highly associated with grain yield but mostly influenced by environmental effects. The grain weight per spike should be prioritized for selection of superior spring barley genotypes under conditions of Southeast Bulgaria due to its highest direct effect on grain yield combined with higher heritability than that of grain yield. Moreover, it must be considered that the grain weight per spike had relatively low heritability in a broad-sense so the selection should be practised in later generations in replicated trials.

Published: August 2021

Abstract. The anesthetic efficacy of two kinds of natural anesthetic Clove (Eugenia caryophyllatata) and Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) powders were evaluated on common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) for handling and health management experiments. The concentrations of anesthetics were assessed by using two types of clove and tobacco anesthetics; each with three replicates for measuring induction times to anesthesia. Concentrations of 100, 200, 250, and 350 mg/l at the ratio 1:1 of the aqueous extract of both Clove (Eugenia caryophyllatata) and Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) to evaluate their effect on common carp anesthesia were used. The aqueous extract anesthetized fish partially in the high levels. No significant differences appeared on blood glucose, ALP, ALT and AST among different levels of the anesthesia concentrations used. As the anesthesia concentration increased, the Red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin decreased.
Optimizing the thickness of a straw outer wall of a building for sows in a view to achieving cost-effective heat insulation
Authors: Dimova V. , Georgiev D.
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The aim of the study is to determine the optimum thickness of the surrounding wall structure of a building for nursing sows by using heat insulation from straw and different fuel (pellets and dry wood) for heating the building. To achieve the purpose, 6 models of walls made of environmentally friendly panels with wooden skeleton, thermal insulation from pressed straw bales and double-sided clay plaster have been developed, such that the accepted thickness of the thermal insulation layer is respectively: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 cm. The construction value of the finished wall is determined by adding the value of the construction and assembly works on the construction site to the value of the preparation of the panels (in a workshop), including the payment of labor, materials and additional costs for the implementation of clay plaster and waterproofing membrane. The annual energy losses through 1 m2 of the enclosing wall and the annual heat insulation costs (as a sum of annual energy cost and the depreciation deductions) are determined through the described methodology and verification of condensation of water vapor on the inner surface of the wall was carried out. The results of the research show that by using pellets for fuel, the optimal thickness of the thermal insulation is 45 cm, and by using dry wood it is 35, 40 and 45 cm. All studied models of enclosing straw wall meet the hygienic requirements for preventing condensation on their inner surfaces.
A bronze hoard from Pusztasárkánytó (Mosdós-Sárkánytó puszta) and a grave assemblage from Ráksi (County Somogy) in the Piarist Museum in Budapest
Authors: Jankovits Katalin
Published: August 2021

In 1917, the Piarist gymnasium in Budapest (currently the Piarist Museum) acquired two important Middle Bronze Age assemblages: a hoard of the Transdanubian Encrusted Pottery culture from Pusztasárkánytó (Mosdós-Sárkánytó-puszta) (RB A2b-c) and what was probably a grave assemblage of the Koszider period from Ráksi (RB B1). Neither of these two finds has yet been fully published; J. Hampel only presented a typological selection of the finds. Archaeological scholarship lost sight of these two important assemblages after World War 2, which finally resurfaced in the exhibition organised by the Budapest History Museum in 2017. The typochronological assessment and archaeometallurgica examination of the two assemblages shed fresh light on the differences between the metalwork of the Transdanubian Encrusted Pottery culture and that of the later Koszider period.

Sacralised spaces of Mithras in Roman Dacia
Authors: Szabó Csaba
Published: August 2021

The Roman cult of Mithras is one of the most well documented cults in Roman Dacia, having almost 300 archaeological finds (epigraphic and figurative sources) produced in less than 170 years during the 2ndand 3rdcenturies AD. Although the rich materiality of the cult attracted European attention already in the 18thcentury, sacralised spaces of Mithras in Dacia – the mithraea of the province – were rarely analysed. This paper presents a systematic overview of the archaeologically and epigraphically attested sanctuaries. Based on the rich material of the cult it will present a new catalogue of sanctuaries of Mithras in Roman Dacia for the first time contextualising them in a new space taxonomy of Roman religious communication.

Preparing for Jobs Outside the Academy
Authors: Stoddard Brad
Published: August 2021

At the 2019 meeting of the AAR in San Diego, Dr. Brad Stoddard led a workshop that encouraged graduate students to look outside academia for potential jobs. As the academic job market tightens, many qualified people are left scrambling for careers in theirfield of study. As Stoddard suggests in his workshop, the answer may lie in pursuing work outside the field of academia. Following Kelly Baker’s example, Stoddard showcases how much work is available through a portfolio career, offering advice on reinventing oneself academically, obtaining freelance work, and finding employment in non-profits that likely will fulfill one’s intellectual hopes and dreams.
The Job Market in the Academy
Authors: McCutcheon Russell T.
Published: August 2021

At a recent workshop during the 2019 meeting of the AAR in San Diego, California, Dr. Russell McCutcheon offered valuable advice to graduate students seeking employment after graduation. As the job market, particularly the academic job market, tightens, it has become increasingly difficult for any to find a job in the specialty their dissertation prepared them for. The solution McCutcheon suggested is rooted from his experience with the field itself: reinvention. His workshop on writing CVs illustrated the need in this changing market for graduate students to be able to describe the skills they have obtained in a way that makes their interests applicable to a wide range of jobs in the field rather than limiting themselves to a niche specialty that may limit potential jobs.
The Politics of Expertise with Thomas J. Whitley
Authors: Bernardi John
Published: August 2021

What are the professional limits of a graduate degree in religious studies? According to Thomas J. Whitley, these limits solely depend on one’s ability to interpret their skills outside the realm of academia. Having received four postsecondary degrees in religious studies, Whitley, rather than pursuing work in the precarious academic job market, took his skills into the world of politics, ultimately becoming Chief of Staff for the city of Tallahassee, Florida. In this interview with the Bulletin, Whitley shares his journey into marketing his degree, stressing the importance for humanities students to be able to articulate their skills beyond the scope of academia.

High Tech, High Think, High Imagine
Authors: Raitt Jill
Published: August 2021

Jill Raitt highlights the gap between imagination and information, shifting the conversation towards the tangible impacts of an education system that relies on test scores instead of the quality of learning and teaching. The way an individual is taught influences their perception of the unfamiliar, and thus the quantification of quality in education could lead to irreconcilable sociopolitical climates in the future. Originally published in the February 1991 issue of the Council of Societies for the Study of Religion Bulletin (20, no. 1), the piece continues to speak volumes today, particularly in the context of educating in the age of COVID-19.
What To Do with World Religions?
Authors: Ramey Steven

This essay describes an approach to the Religions of the World course that incorporates the critique of the World Religions Paradigm and teaches the Paradigm as a set of discourses that are open to analysis. The focus of the course is teaching the critical analysis of representations, which i argue is more important than teaching religious literacy, though this course also provides some religious literacy while acknowledging that those terms and ideas are contested and incomplete.
Application of Traditional Rules of Purity (Qinggui) in Contemporary Taiwanese Monasteries
Authors: Chiu Tzu-Lung
Published: August 2021

Vinaya rules embody the ideal of how Buddhists should regulate their daily lives, and monastics are required to observe them, despite the fact that they were compiled nearly 2,500 years ago in India: a context dramatically different not only from Chinese Buddhism's present monastic conditions, but from its historical conditions. Against this backdrop, rules of purity (qinggui) were gradually formulated by Chinese masters in medieval times to supplement and adapt vinaya rules to China's cultural ethos and to specific local Chinese contexts. This study explores how the traditional qinggui are applied by the Buddhist sangha in present-day Taiwan, and contrasts modern monastics' opinions on these rules and their relation to early Buddhist vinaya, on the one hand, against classical Chan literature (such as Chanyuan qinggui) and the Buddhist canon (such as Dharmaguptakavinaya), on the other. This comparison fills a notable gap in the existing literature.

Research of the impact of vibration on the efficiency of dissemination of loose plant products from the motor vehicle bodies
Authors: Opanasyuk Evgen , Beherskyi Dmytro , Mozharovskyi Mykola , Vitiuk Ivan
Published: August 2021

The object of research is the process of unloading bulk crop products from the bodies of dump trucks, the subject of the study is the dependence of the energy consumption of unloading on the properties of products when exposed to vibration. This dependence is understood as a change in the properties of bulk products, such as internal friction and the angle of repose, in the direction of decreasing, providing a decrease in the angle of lift of the body. One of the most problematic areas is the lack of objective information on the dependence of the required lifting angles of the dump truck body when unloading fine-grained crop products when exposed to vibrations. There is also insufficient information on the dependence of these angles on vibration frequency for each of the products.
In the course of the study, an experimental method was used to determine the angles of natural bevel for different crops without and under the influence of vibrations of different frequencies on the reference area. The proposed development makes it possible to quantitatively assess the degree of influence of vibrations, their frequencies and time of impact on the frictional properties of bulk crop products. The degree of reduction of internal friction in these products and the maximum angles of lifting the body required for its unloading were experimentally determined, and numerical data were obtained on their reduction under the influence of vibrations. The results obtained allow to consider it an effective tool for obtaining objective information about the effect of vibrations on the characteristics of internal friction of bulk crop products. This made it possible to determine the degree of influence of the lift angle of the dump truck body during unloading and to reduce energy costs. In contrast to the existing ones, the proposed development makes it possible to differentiate these angles depending on the frequency and time of exposure to vibration, as well as on a specific product. Certain parameters make it possible to regulate them to achieve minimum energy consumption.
Development of quality control and structure parameters determination methods for large size products from sintered hard alloys WC-(Co+Ni+Cr) based on analysis of the ultrasonic oscillations spreading parameters
Authors: Pashynskyi Volodymyr , Boyko Igor
Published: August 2021

The object of research is hard alloys with a morphology of the carbide phase skeleton structure, in which particles contact with each other, and the gaps between them are filled with a binder phase. The mechanical and service characteristics of such materials depend on the degree of development of the skeleton structure.
One of the most problematic areas is the lack of non-destructive methods for determining the parameters of the structure. The introduction of such techniques will allow obtaining objective information on the structure of the material and using it to evaluate the quality of products. In the course of the study, the parameters of the scattering of elastic vibrations in inhomogeneous media were determined. The main hypothesis of the study is the assumption that the processes of energy dissipation occur both in the structural elements themselves (carbide grains and bond areas) and at their boundaries. Therefore, the evaluation of dissipation processes will allow obtaining a quantitative estimation of the alloys structure parameters, and will allow assessing the quality of the material. The following characteristics were chosen as the parameters characterizing the propagation of ultrasonic oscillations: the speed of the oscillations propagation, the scattering background level in relation to the amplitude of the bottom reflection, the oscillations attenuation coefficient. The parameters were determined and compared with the characteristics of the quality of the products and the parameters of the microstructure, which were determined by the methods of quantitative metallography and the statistical characteristics of the relationship between the parameters, were determined.
As a result, new quality control procedures for carbide products have been developed. The contiguity characteristics of the carbide skeleton of the sintered cemented carbide were determined by measuring the propagation speed of ultrasonic oscillations. The assessment of the level of porosity with a pore size of less than 1 mm was carried out according to the results of measuring the relative amplitude of the background scattering of ultrasonic oscillations.
The proposed methods are non-destructive and are carried out in one cycle with ultrasonic flaw detection, to which 100% of the products are subjected. These techniques have been introduced in the production of carbide rolls by the method of controlled hot vacuum pressing. They have become an integral part of the quality control system for carbide rolls.
Development of a Methodological Approach to Identifying Petrophysical Types of Complicated Carbonate Rocks According to Laboratory Core Studies
Authors: Raznicyn Aleksandr V. , Putilov Ivan S.
Published: August 2021

Petrophysical typification of productive hydrocarbon deposits is one of the main stages of building a petrophysical model of a reservoir. For carbonate reservoirs characterized by a heterogeneous complex structure of the void space, the problem of identifying petrotypes is very relevant. An extensive literature review of existing methods of petrophysical typification showed that the most well-known and widely used of them were based on simple theoretical models of the structure of the void space of rocks, which did not allow a full description of complex carbonate deposits. Moreover, the petrotypes identified on the basis of these methods did not agree with the results of microdescription of thin sections. A new methodological approach to the identification of petrophysical types of complex carbonate rocks was proposed, based on the integration of the results of standard (determination of the absolute gas permeability and open porosity coefficients) and special (nuclear magnetic resonance studies) core studies and data obtained in the lithological description of thin sections. The developed approach took into account the main petrophysical properties of rocks that characterize its reservoir potential, as well as the structural features of the void space and the influence of secondary transformations. The proposed methodological approach was applied to distinguish petrophysical types in the section of the Assel-Sakmara deposits of the Yareyuskoye field: six petrotypes were identified and described in detail, combined into four zones (zone of development of healed fracturing, zone of development of leaching, zone of development of leaching and open fracturing, zone of development open fracturing), for each of them, individual dependences of the absolute gas permeability coefficient on the open porosity coefficient and the Leverett J-function on the water saturation coefficient were constructed. The information obtained would allow a differentiated approach to geological and hydrodynamic modeling of a hydrocarbon reservoir.
Research of Bare-Free Drilling Fluids
Authors: Leusheva Ekaterina L. , Alikhanov Nazim T.
Published: August 2021

Mining and geological conditions for the development of new fields are becoming more difficult every year. Accordingly, the requirements for ensuring the environmental and technological safety of the drilling process are becoming more and more important. To ensure such a process, it is necessary to use correctly selected drilling fluids with proper characteristics: rheological parameters sufficient for effective cleaning of the well bottom, density sufficient to create back pressure, fluid loss to ensure a high-quality filter cake. Modern environmental requirements dictate the abandonment of hydrocarbon-based solutions. But when using water-based solutions, there are no suitable solutions, especially with their high density, since the use of barite can lead to a decrease in reservoir productivity. In this regard, the analysis of the problem and the search for options for creating water-based drilling fluids, weighted without the addition of barite, having the properties of maintaining the stability of the wellbore, ensuring safe drilling and opening productive formations without damaging the reservoir characteristics, was carried out. Such a solution was found in changing the base of the drilling fluid - highly mineralized fluids or solutions based on saturated brines. Brines must be created on the basis of inorganic salts that have good solubility, for example, chlorides, bromides. Due to the content of salts, the fluids have an inhibitory effect, and depending on the volume of dissolution, the density of the drilling fluids can be controlled. The scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists analyzed in the article have been published over the past five years, which indicates the relevance of this development. The selected compositions are presented and theoretically investigated, which were also tested in the field conditions.

Published: August 2021

In the study, the foundation olive groves as the foundation agricultural enterprises in the 19th century Ottoman Empire Aegean Region and the 21st century Ayvalik Waqf Olive Groves Management Directorate are examined in terms of productivity and capacity. When the Aegean Region waqf agricultural enterprises were examined in the 19th century, generally waqf olive groves were found. In addition, today's Ayvalık agricultural waqf enterprise is examined. When doing research, Ottoman Archive documents and Ayvalık Waqf Olive Groves reports are used. In the waqf olive groves; When we make a comparison on the basis of villages, today's productivity has increased three times at most in some villages, sometimes the same, sometimes less, compared to the 19th century. Although today's socio-economic conditions and technology are in a better state, there has not been a serious difference in productivity. In the Ottoman Empire, foundation agricultural enterprises were operated by the method of tax-farming. Since today’s waqf agricultural enterprises are operated in a similar way to the tax farming method, we can say that olive groves are operated by modern tax-farming method.

Published: August 2021

International statistics and studies emphasise the gender imbalance in high managerial levels. According to the literature review the undereppresentation of women in high levels is related to the “Glass Ceiling” phenomenon. These are barriers that hinder the career progression of women. According to the Gender Organization Structure model, these barriers are divided into three categories: Individual, Social and Organizational. The purpose of this study is to find out how do perceptions about these barriers vary according to five demographic variables (age, marital status, education, managerial position and experience) of women at managerial levels in commercial banks in Albania. The Kruskal-Wallis test is used to test the differences in perception of barriers. The results of the study show that: women’s perceptions about individual barriers vary according only to the managerial level; women’s perceptions about social barriers vary only according to age and maritual status; women’s perceptions about organizational barriers vary only to marital status.

RESEARCH ON THE SYSTEMATIZATION OF SPORTS STUDENTS IN SCIENTIFIC EXERCISE TRAINING
Authors: Feng Zhi
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT Introduction: It is not unusual that students do not like physical education. It has become a common educational phenomenon in current school physical education. Students have become less participative in physical education, serious and cold, less enjoyable, and stressed. The emergence of this series of changes is not entirely a matter of student attitudes. Objective: Aiming at school students who like sports but do not fall in love with physical education, participation quality continues to decline, students do not exercise themselves, and have no concept of exercise load. This research aims to learn and master the knowledge and skills of physical exercise through a digital fitness teaching system, effectively improve students’ scientific exercise ability, mobilize students’ hobbies to actively participate in physical exercise, improve the unscientific physical exercise habits of students in the past, promote students’ physical and mental health, and lay the foundation for lifelong physical education. Methods: The methods studied in this article mainly include an experimental method, document method, expert interview method, questionnaire survey method, mathematical analysis method and other methods. Results: After two weeks of experimental preparation and ten weeks of teaching experiments to develop students’ physical exercise ability, the students’ aerobic exercise ability has been steadily improved. Through the digital fitness teaching system, students’ interest in participating in physical exercise is strengthened and the cultivation of sports emotions and physical habits, improving the school's physical exercise environment and meeting students’ physical exercise needs. Conclusions: The digital fitness teaching system is in the development and test stage. The first generation of digital fitness bikes has many problems with hardware and software. As an important supplementary form of school physical education under the new situation, this system greatly promotes students’ lifelong physical education and learning scientific physical exercise.

RESEARCH ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPORTS SCIENTIFIC TRAINING AND ATHLETES’ MENTAL HEALTH
Authors: Han Fuling
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT Introduction: Regarding sports mental fatigue research, foreign countries mainly discuss the theoretical model of mental exhaustion. Among them, Silva's theoretical model believes that sports mental fatigue is a negative training stress response. Domestic research mainly analyzes and discusses the concept, causes, and monitoring of mental fatigue. Objective: This study explores the relationship between sports fatigue and mental health of elite athletes through investigation and analysis; analyzes whether social support plays a moderating role in training stress and how aspect support plays an important role. Methods: Based on the stress theory and the negative training stress response model theory, the paper used the Mental Health Inventory (PHI), Athlete Exercise Fatigue Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, and Perceived Social Support Scale to analyze 163 outstanding athletes above the first level. Carry out investigation, use SPSS10.0 software to carry out reliability analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. Results: The mental health level of elite athletes is closely related to the degree of sports fatigue, and the correlation coefficients between most factors have reached a significant level. The physical (emotional) exhaustion in sports fatigue is an important predictor of the mental health of elite athletes; age, sports grade, economic conditions, perceived family support, and mental health are important predictors of sports fatigue for elite athletes; social support is an important external “buffer” in the process of training stress, in which family support and emotional support play a major regulatory role. Conclusions: The research results can provide references for maintaining and promoting athletes’ physical and mental health, provide some useful references for mental health education of sports teams, and provide empirical data for sports psychology and health psychology.

THE EARLY WARNING MODEL OF TRACK AND FIELD SPORTS BASED ON RBF NEURAL NETWORK ALGORITHM
Authors: Wen Heqiong
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Athletics plays a very important role in competitive sports. The strength of track and field directly represents the level of a country's sports competition. Objective: This work aimed to study the track and field sports forewarning model based on radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. One hundred outstanding athletes were taken as the research objects. The questionnaire survey method was adopted to count athletes’ injury risk factors, and coaches were consulted to evaluate the questionnaire's overall quality, structure, and content. Methods: A track and field early warning model based on RBF neural network is established, and the results are analyzed. Results: The results showed that the number of people who thought the questionnaire was relatively complete (92%) was considerably higher than that of very complete (2%) and relatively complete (6%) (P<0.05). The number of people who thought that the questionnaire structure was relatively perfect (45%) was notably higher than that of the very perfect (18%) (P<0.05). The semi-reliability test result suggested that the questionnaire reliability was 0.85. Tests on ten samples showed that the RBF neural network model error and the actual results were basically controlled between −0.04~0.04. Conclusions: After the sample library test, the track and field sports forewarning model under RBF neural network can obtain relatively favorable results.

SIMULATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXERCISE AND CARDIOPULMONARY FUNCTION AT HIGH ALTITUDE
Authors: Li Rui
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT Introduction: Due to various uncertain and unexpected factors in life such as diseases, natural disasters, traffic accidents, and congenital disabilities, the number and proportion of lower limb amputations are still rising for many reasons, so the research on lower limb prostheses is particularly important. Objective: This work aimed to study the relationship between altitude exercise and cardiopulmonary function. Methods: A model of abnormal changes in cardiopulmonary function was established, and then 40 plateau exercisers were selected, all of whom arrived in Tibet in March 2017. The relationship between pulmonary circulation volume and internal pressure in the chest was observed and compared. The relationship between cardiopulmonary sensory reflex and exercise (high altitude) breathing and heart rate was analyzed. A comparison of the cardiopulmonary function of subjects of different genders was implemented. Moreover, the influence of different altitudes on the subjects’ cardiopulmonary function and the subjects’ cardiopulmonary function changes before departure and during the first, second, and third week after departure were observed and compared. Results: I. As the pressure in the thoracic cavity increased, the subjects’ pulmonary circulation blood volume gradually decreased, and the decrease was most obvious in the stage of thoracic pressure −50 to 0. II. As the cardiorespiratory reflex coefficient increased, the subjects’ breathing and heart rate compensatory acceleration appeared. III. Tracking and monitoring of the subjects’ cardiopulmonary indicators revealed that with the increase in altitude, the subjects’ average arterial pressure, respiratory frequency, and heart rate all showed an upward trend, while the blood oxygen saturation value showed a downward trend. IV. No matter how high the altitude was, the average arterial pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate monitored of the subjects under exercise were significantly superior to the indicator values under resting state. In contrast, the blood oxygen saturation value showed the opposite trend. V. The subjects’ average arterial pressure, respiration, and heart rate in the first week were higher than other periods, but the blood oxygen saturation was relatively lower. In the second and third weeks, the changes in cardiopulmonary function were relatively smooth (all P<0.05). VI. The changes in the index of the cardiopulmonary function of subjects of different genders were small (p>0.05). Conclusion: Through modeling, the results of the plateau environment on the cardiopulmonary function of the body were made clearer, and these research data provided theoretical references for the training of the sports field in the plateau area.

Resumo O treinamento físico é capaz de aumentar o consumo de oxigênio de pico em indivíduos que sofreram infarto agudo do miocárdio. No entanto, em relação à eficácia de diferentes tipos de intervenções ainda há uma lacuna na literatura. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes modalidades de treinamento físico no consumo de oxigênio de pico de pacientes pós-infarto agudo do miocárdio. Foram utilizadas as seguintes bases de dados: PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, Scopus e PEDro. Foram incluídos estudos que avaliassem exercícios aeróbicos, de força ou combinados. Seis estudos preencheram elegibilidade. O exercício aeróbico aumentou 6,07 mL.kg-1.min-1 quando comparado ao grupo controle (p = 0,013). Na comparação entre exercício combinado e grupo controle, foi observada uma diferença de 1,84 mL.kg-1.min-1, no entanto, sem significância (p = 0,312). Portanto, concluímos que o exercício aeróbico é a única modalidade que apresenta eficácia para aumentar o consumo de oxigênio de pico em comparação a um grupo controle.
