Authors: Boyce Robert , Willett Tyler , Mullins Allen , Jones Glenn , Cottrell Randy
Published: September 2021

Background: Weight management is critical in police work. It can have both legal and life-saving implications as it is linked to the health and physical readiness of the officers. A weight loss competition is one way to address weight management in police work. Among the factors to consider is gender impact, as females forge forward within a male environment. Also, assessing weight loss among obesity categories is essential for designing effective programing. Purpose: To compare mass changes among body mass index (BMI) categories and between genders at biweekly weigh-ins during a 12-week competition with recommendations for professionals. Methods: Before the competition began, the participants were instructed that those teams recording greatest percentage loss won. Body mass (body weight) comparisons were made between genders and among BMI categories. Results: Mean body mass lost for the 225 officers was 5.26 kg. Genders had similar mass losses. Normal and overweight BMI classes had significantly (p ≤ 0.05) less body mass changes than obese classes. In weeks 2 to 4, the extreme obese category experienced greatest losses. No differences were found in amount of loss among any of the groups from weeks 6 to 12. Conclusion: This multiple-site, large-scale and low-cost intervention specific to police was successful. The program had equivalent gender impact in terms of mass lost. In the second half of the program, the higher BMI groups did not lose significantly more than the lower BMI groups indicating physiological and/or motivational effects to be addressed in future programs.

Authors: Mazerolle Stephine , Eason Christianne
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Professional commitment is an individualized concept that combines commitment to a profession and the organization of employment. Currently there is no distinct definition of professional commitment within the context of athletic training. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to evaluate the impact of collegiate divisional setting on the definition of professional commitment. Methods: Online asynchronous interviews. Inclusion criteria consisted of full-time employment in the collegiate setting with at least 1 year of experience beyond a graduate assistantship. Thirty-three BOC certified ATs employed in the collegiate setting (Division I =11, Division II = 9, Division III = 13) volunteered with an average of 10 ± 8 years of clinical experience. Data saturation guided the total number of participants. Participants journaled their thoughts and experiences via QuestionPro™. Multiple analyst triangulation and peer review were included and data was analyzed utilizing general inductive analysis. Results: The importance of current practices emerged across all three settings. ATs in the Division I setting viewed commitment as advocating for their student athletes, providing the best care possible, and mentoring them as young adults. In the Division II setting, ATs were focused on life-long learning as a reflection of commitment. This was often accomplished by attending seminars, completing CEUs, and continually adding to their skill set in order to provide the best care for their student athletes. Division III focused their definition on being a multifaceted health care provider. Exceeding expectations and being a dedicated professional was an aspect of professional commitment. Conclusions: It is important to understand what keeps ATs motivated in the profession in order to enhance retention strategies. Overall, ATs’ professional commitment is derived from providing quality care to student-athletes, continuously advancing education within the profession, and being a multifaceted healthcare provider.
Reliability of Breathing Rate Assessment and Chest Expansion Measurement: A Pilot Study in Typically Developing Children
Authors: Pena Mary-Grace , Jordan MaryAnne , Gorgon Edward
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Despite the apparent acceptance of breathing rate assessment and chest expansion measurement (CEM) among physical therapists, little is known about the measurement properties of these tests and measures especially when administered to children. Reference data from typically developing children have been reported in the literature without investigating the reliability of measurements. This pilot study aimed to systematically explore the feasibility and inter-rater and test-retest reliability of these chest examination methods in children. Method: Nineteen children, 10 males and 9 females, with mean (SD) age of 11.11 (±1.29) years, were selected through convenience sampling. Assessors measured the breathing rate and chest expansion of the participants using a well-defined protocol. A second assessment was conducted after two weeks under similar testing conditions. Results:Breathing rate assessment yielded poor reliability across raters and testing occasions. CEM taken at the level of the fourth intercostal space revealed poor to excellent reliability (ICC=0.48 to 0.81), while measurements taken along the xiphoid process produced acceptable inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.6 to 0.7) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC=0.88 to 0.94). Conclusions and Recommendations: CEM may be feasible and reliable to use on typically developing children given a well-defined protocol. Assessment of breathing rate may need to be evaluated further for clinical acceptability given potentially poor reliability in children.

Authors: Dexter Tyler , Herzog Valerie , Zimmerman Ericka
Published: September 2021

Context: Wearing wristbands embedded with holograms at certain frequencies are believed to increase proprioception. There has been very little research to determine if holographic wristbands have any physiological effect on the body. Objective: To determine if the holograms embedded in the wristbands will improve proprioception during a single leg stance test on the dominant foot. Design and Setting: Controlled Athletic Training laboratory study. Participants: Twenty-four healthy college students of different activity levels (7 men, 17 women; age = 22.6 ± 1.2 years, height = 170.18 ± 12.10 cm, mass = 69.51 ± 15.63 kg) without any lower extremity injuries in the past three months participated. The subjects were also excluded if they have worn a holographic wristband in the past three months. Intervention(s): Each subject completed two trials under three protocols (holographic wristband, placebo wristband, no wristband) in a counter-balanced order for a total of six different tests with each test lasting 30 seconds. Subjects tested under each protocol using a single leg stance test on their dominant leg, hands on their hips, and looking forward at a fixed point on the wall. Main Outcome Measure(s): Balance analysis of the subjects was performed using an AMTI AccuSway Force Platform measuring Center of Pressure velocity and Center of Pressure Area 95. A statistical analysis of the data was done using repeated measures to test for differences between each condition. Results: The results showed no significant differences between protocols for Center of Pressure velocity (F = 1.130, P = .332). We also found no significant differences between protocols for Center of Pressure Area 95 (F = 1.271, P = .290). Conclusions: The results showed that the use of the holographic wristbands or a placebo wristband did not appear to have an impact on static balance. Overall, the results show that the use of the wristbands did not appear to have an impact on proprioception.

Clinical Guidelines in Sports Medicine: Am I Reading a Guideline or a Consensus Statement: What’s the Difference? Does it Matter?
Authors: Machotka Zuzana , Perraton Luke , Grimmer Karen
Published: September 2021

Introduction: The integration of research evidence into clinical practice is one of the most challenging aspects of sports medicine. The time required to search library databases and read multiple systematic reviews represents a significant barrier to many clinicians. Clinical guidelines and consensus statements provide a summary of best practice for clinical conditions, and provide clinical recommendations. In sports medicine, the terms clinical guideline and consensus statement are often used interchangeably; however, important differences exist between these resources. The aims of this review were to identify the clinical guidelines published in key international sports medicine journals over the last five years, and assess their methodological quality. Methods: In March 2014, the top ten international sports medicine journals (identified on current impact factors) were searched using the single keyword ‘guideline’. Peer-reviewed papers providing clinical recommendations that were described by the authors as a guideline were included. The International Centre for Allied Health Evidence (iCAHE) guideline checklist, which consists of fourteen ‘yes’ and ‘no’ responses, graded 1 or 0 respectively, was used to assess the methodological quality of each clinical guideline. Results: Ten publications were retained from a pool of 34 potentially-relevant publications. The iCAHE guideline checklist scores ranged from 3 to 11 out of a possible 14. Within the ten included publications, the most frequently identified methodological problems were a failure to describe the strategy used to search for evidence, failure to critically appraise the quality of underlying evidence and failure to clearly link the hierarchy and quality of underlying evidence to each recommendation. Discussion: The ten sports medicine journals included in this review published few clinical guidelines, and these were of poor to moderate quality. These clinical guidelines should be interpreted with caution because of methodological problems identified by this review. Consensus statements are useful resources for busy sports medicine clinicians; however, these resources should be subjected to the same rigorous appraisal as clinical guidelines, in order to identify areas where bias may potentially limit the usefulness of the recommendations.

Authors: Williams Brett , Boyle Malcolm , Howard Stuart
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the attitude of first year students entering a paramedic course over 4 consecutive yearly intakes toward patients with intellectual disability, substance abuse, attempted suicide, and acute mental illness. Method: The students’ attitude towards four medical conditions commonly encountered in the out-of-hospital setting was assessed using the Medical Condition Regard Scale (MCRS). The MCRS score ranges from 11 to 66. Results: 230 students in Victoria, Australia, participated in the study; 66% were female, and 76% of all students < 21 years of age. Students showed the most negative attitudes towards substance abuse, mean 35(SD+6.6), and the most positive attitude toward intellectual disability, mean 38.2(SD+6.3). Students in 2008 cohort displayed significantly higher regard for all medical conditions (pConclusions: The study findings suggest that these students in Victoria, Australia, entering an undergraduate paramedic or paramedic/nursing course have a relatively poor attitude towards the four reviewed medical conditions, particularly substance abuse.

Authors: Dafoe Simone , Stiller Kathy , Chapman Marianne
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Whilst early progressive mobilization is known to be safe and beneficial for patients in an intensive care unit (ICU), barriers still exist to its implementation. As part of a broader quality improvement project that had the overall aim of increasing the frequency of mobilization in our ICU, we conducted a survey of ICU staff to investigate their perceptions of the barriers to the early progressive mobilization of ICU patients. Method: A prospective survey of ICU staff in an Australian, tertiary care, public hospital ICU was undertaken. A total of 93 medical, nursing, and physiotherapy staff participated. A purpose-designed survey that investigated staff perceptions of the barriers to the early progressive mobilization of ICU patients was developed. The survey predominantly comprised closed statements requiring responses using a visual analogue scale. Barriers to early progressive mobilization were separated into three sections: patient-related, institutional-related, and other barriers. Results: Patient-related barriers were generally perceived as having the greatest influence on the mobilization of ICU patients, followed closely by institutional-related barriers. The factors that were perceived as most frequently preventing mobilization were hemodynamic instability, reduced level of consciousness, sedation, agitation, impending medical procedure, staff availability, and time constraints. Conclusions: ICU staff perceived that barriers to the early progressive mobilization of ICU patients were multifactorial and most frequently involved patients’ medical condition and resource limitations.

Authors: Karpinski Christine , Heinerichs Scott
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The population of the United States continues to become more diverse each day, and this changing demographic impacts our healthcare system, demanding that healthcare providers begin to provide culturally competent services. In order to have culturally competent practitioners, it would be prudent to incorporate the concepts of cultural competence effectively into respective health professions curricula. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a three-part, semester-long cultural competency speaker series on students’ level of multicultural sensitivity and their attitudes toward cultural competence and its effect on healthcare. Methods: A convenience sample of 118 athletic training and nutrition undergraduate students participated in this study through their attendance at three 90-minute lectures over the course of the fall 2012 semester. A pre/post questionnaire study design was utilized. Two valid and reliable surveys, the Multicultural Sensitivity Scale (MSS) and the Health Beliefs Attitudes Survey (HBAS) were adapted from the literature. The MSS was used to measure students’ level of multicultural sensitivity and the HBAS was used to assess their attitudes on how cultural competence affects health care quality. Each survey was completed by subjects prior to and at the conclusion of the speaker series. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean total score of the HBAS prior to and after the speaker series (t = 4.01; p
Beyond the Basics: Providing Continuing Education Workshops for Preceptors; A Commentary
Authors: Nottingham Sara , Cleary Michelle , Bennett Jason
Published: September 2021

Current Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) standards allow education programs to determine the most appropriate format and content of preceptor workshops. Clinicians, including preceptors, have noted challenges trying to keep their knowledge updated with current standards of care and educational competencies. Clinicians and preceptors in our program and the literature have described challenges trying to keep knowledge current with changing standards of care, research evidence, and athletic training educational competencies. Preceptors also value applicable and easily accessible continuing education opportunities. In order to address these challenges and provide accessible continuing education opportunities for preceptors, the faculty in our professional education program have designed and implemented a series of preceptor workshops for the past two years. These workshops are offered approximately three times per year, and each workshop focuses on clinical teaching, clinical skills, or professional practice issues. We developed these workshops based on current literature, interests of our preceptors, and needs of our program in applicable, accessible formats. Much of the content is similar to academic course content, but the delivery is tailored to the experience levels of our practicing clinicians. Anecdotally, we have observed improved interactions between students and preceptors and more frequent implementation of updated standards of care by our preceptors. Preceptors positively rate these workshops and describe how they plan to change several aspects of their role as a preceptor as a result of attending the workshops. Considering clinicians face challenges keeping knowledge current and obtaining applicable continuing education opportunities, athletic training programs may consider providing continuing education opportunities to ensure that preceptors are able to provide a constructive learning environment. This article describes how providing these workshops directly to preceptors may allow athletic training education programs to tailor the content and delivery to clinician and program needs.

Published: September 2021

Parameters of the H-resonator: the resonant frequency, the distribution of phases and amplitudes of the highfrequency field in the accelerating gaps are mainly determined by the load that forms the acceleration channel. When creating applied accelerators based on H-resonators, it is necessary to determine not only the parameters of the accelerating channel, but also the electrodynamics characteristics of the resonator, which have influence on the efficiency of high-frequency power use. The paper presents an analysis of the methods for modeling the load of accelerating H-resonators taking into account the stated requirements.

Authors: Ognivenko V.V.
Published: September 2021

We consider a motion of a relativistic electron beam in a spatially periodic magnetic field of an undulator taking into account the influence of the spontaneous radiation fields on this motion. The diffusion coefficients in longitudinal momentum of electrons are found. It is shown that in initially monoenergetic electron beam a mean square spread due to influence of the incoherent fields on electron motion may have a predominant effect compared with the spread caused by the quantum fluctuations.
NONLOCAL EQUATIONS FOR THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN THE INHOMOGENEOUS ACCELERATING STRUCTURES
Authors: Ayzatsky M.I.
Published: September 2021

The procedure for obtaining a difference equation, the solution of which is the components of the electric (or magnetic) field at the chosen set of points in the volume of the resonator chain, was developed. We started with the wave equation with boundary conditions and obtained the difference equation without boundary conditions. Boundary conditions were included into the coefficients of the difference equation for the electric field. As the obtained equation connects the field values in different points (in general case, on an infinite set of points), the proposed procedure represents a nonlocal model for field description. Solutions of the difference equation for the electric field were analyzed. It was shown that they coincide with good accuracy with the ones that were obtained by direct summing of relevant series.

Authors: Uvarov V.L.
Published: September 2021

Analytical model for description of isotope generation in a thick production target exposed to no uniform flux of high-energy bremsstrahlung radiation is developed. A set of principal process parameters determinative the yield of a product isotope and distribution of its specific activity has been established. It is shown, that as those parameters may be the yield of the product isotope in a thin foil overlapping the photon flux, normalized to the mass thickness of the foil (a coefficient of photonuclear conversion), and also the standard radial deviation of the flux density of the above-threshold photons at the target as well as the most probable angle of their escape from a bremsstrahlung converter. The methods for measuring those parameters are proposed. Testing of the model was conducted using the 100Мо(g,n)99Mo reaction by comparing the results obtained from the model consideration with the data of experimental study and computer simulation. The proposed approach enables the optimization of photonuclear technology as respects to target dimensions and activation regime.

Authors: Allam Majd , Nader Raymond Bou
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between renewable energy and economic growth which is determined by the gross domestic product per capita regarding some of the Mediterranean countries. This study uses data from some Mediterranean countries with medium to high energy consumption levels in 1990–2015 (France, Italy, and Turkey) to ascertain and analyze the multiple effects of renewable energy consumption on economic process. The applied math analysis relies on descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, and divulges that all the variables area unit are related; this means, on the long term, a correlation between the dependent variable quantity of gross domestic product and the independents variables of renewable energy consumption and energy consumption. Moreover, the results show that there's a better correlation between RES’ consumption and the economic growth of some countries that has an upper gross domestic product than with those of lower GDP. The obtained results area unit is consistent with different papers reviewed during this study. Analysis results show the long run linear impact of energy consumption on economic process.

 

El objetivo de este estudio es investigar la relación entre las energías renovables y el crecimiento económico, que viene determinado por el producto interior bruto per cápita, en relación con algunos de los países mediterráneos. Este estudio utiliza datos de algunos países mediterráneos con niveles de consumo de energía medios y altos en 1990-2015 (Francia, Italia y Turquía) para conocer y analizar los múltiples efectos del consumo de energías renovables en el proceso económico. El análisis matemático aplicado se basa en la estadística descriptiva y el análisis de conglomerados, y divulga que todas las variables están relacionadas; esto significa que, a largo plazo, existe una correlación entre la variable dependiente cantidad de producto interior bruto y las variables independientes consumo de energía renovable y consumo de energía. Además, los resultados muestran que hay una mejor correlación entre el consumo de FER y el crecimiento económico de algunos países que tienen un producto interior bruto superior que con los de menor PIB. Los resultados obtenidos son coherentes con diferentes trabajos revisados durante este estudio. Los resultados del análisis muestran el impacto lineal a largo plazo del consumo de energía en el proceso económico.

Authors: Araújo Alice Oliveira
Published: September 2021

Este trabalho foi construído a partir de experiências vividas em dois momentos na pós-graduação, na disciplina “Aprender e Ensinar Ciências como produção subjetiva” e no “grupo de pesquisa Transformação” no ano de 2019 no programa de pós-graduação em educação em ciências e matemática da Universidade Federal do Pará – UFPA, que proporcionou reflexões acentuadas na formação de professores, no ensino de ciências, bem como nas minhas visões da profissão docente. Tendo este trabalho como um processo de reflexão e imersão dentro das experiências formadoras que obtive no momento de pós-graduação, com um olhar amplo de possibilidades de aprendizagens que vivenciei, no qual foram momentos de debates, reflexões, argumentações e observações, onde pude aprender e construir com os pares valorizando assim uma formação compartilhada.

Com a lei 10.639/2003 tornou-se obrigatória a inclusão de histórias e de culturas africanas e afro-brasileiras em todos os currículos escolares, apesar disso, essas questões ainda são pouco trabalhadas pelos professores das áreas biológicas (VERRANGIA; SILVA, 2010). Nesta pesquisa foram analisadas habilidades pré-estabelecidas na área de Ciências da Natureza da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, relacionadas ao estudo do corpo humano que, embora silenciem sobre o tema, são potenciais para a Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais (ERER). A partir dessa análise foram propostos temas e sugestões de atividades para incluir a ERER nos currículos de Ciências. A discussão dos resultados baseou-se nos Valores Civilizatórios Afro-brasileiros (A COR DA CULTURA, 2006). Espera-se que com o apoio dessas análises, sugestões e discussões sejam promovidas práticas interculturais que valorizem a história, a cultura e a afro-brasilidade dos alunos, assegurando uma educação antirracista e cidadã.
