Is there an Islamophobic Literary Tradition? Islamophobia in Literature 1- up to AD 1300
Authors: Kampuravan Abdulatheef
Published: December 2022

Islamophobia is in vogue and is a hot topic of discussion both in academia and outside. Islamophobia appears in the daily life in various forms like, public humiliations, physical attacks, throwing abusive words etc. On the other hand, both in media and literature Muslim names and characters are misrepresented and quite often presented as dangerous beings. Some believe that this wide spread of Islamophobia is a recent phenomenon especially triggered by terror attacks of Sep 11. However, a historic analysis will expose Islamophobia of early centuries and can find that it was never less fierce than the surge of Islamophobia we find in current media and literature. This paper is attempting to find a tradition of Islamophobia beginning with 7th century Arabic and Greek writings distorting Islam and its prophet to English plays of 14th century

This study has been conducted to examine the impact of deployment in the mission area on the physical, mental, and social health of peacekeepers. This was a cross-sectional analytical study from Jan 2020 to Jan 2021. The Data was collected from three phases of time span; Initial deployment, mid deployment, and Post-deployment. The health record of the troops had stated that despite taking anti-malarial prophylaxis 16% of troops got malaria positive, while 55% of troops suffered allergic rhinitis. The Psychological score was calculated by DASS-21. A negligible number of cases have been found in psychological distress: 1.3% have been found in mild stress. 1.8% in mild depression and 0.5% in anxiety. The military steadfastness of peacekeepers was predicted with military hardiness scale and was analyzed with Pearson correlation by SPSS 22. It has been revealed that during this COVID 19 pandemic, the likelihood of increasing deployment length raised, that may have detrimental health effects on troops. But the troops with better military robustness have enhanced psychological health. Military toughness and resilience, good social support, and pre-deployment preparedness play a significant role in maintaining good psychological health.

Knowing how to design training regimens and modify offensive and defensive strategies to accurately resemble on-court competitive demands can help the team secure the winning game outcome. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine differences in game-related statistics between winning and losing teams at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division-II level of men’s basketball competition and determine which performance parameters have the greatest impact in differentiating between winning and losing game outcomes. The data scraping technique was used to obtain publicly available box scores during the 2018-19 competitive season. The total number of games examined in the present investigation was 4630. The findings of the present study indicate that winning teams: a) made more field-goal and three-point shots; b) attempted and made more free-throw shots; c) attained superior free-throw, two-point, and three-point shooting efficiency; d) accumulated more assists, steals, blocks, and offensive, defensive, and total rebounds; e) had fewer turnovers and personal fouls. Moreover, field-goal percentage, defensive rebounds, and assists showed to be the top three game-related statistics capable of discriminating winning from losing game outcomes on the NCAA Division-II level of competition, accounting for 17.0%, 12.7%, and 12.6% of the total percentage of the explained variance, respectively.
COUNTERMOVEMENT JUMP FORCETIME METRICS AND MAXIMAL HORIZONTAL DECELERATION PERFORMANCE IN PROFESSIONAL MALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS
Authors: Philipp Nicolas , Cabarkapa Dimitrije , Eserhaut Drake , Cabarkapa Damjana , Fry Andrew
Published: December 2022

Basketball is a sport that relies heavily on an athlete’s ability to rapidly decelerate in order to change direction, avoid a defender, or create space. Recent literature has proposed novel ways of measuring maximal horizontal deceleration using radar technology. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between different countermovement jump (CMJ) force-time characteristics and metrics related to maximal horizontal deceleration for a sample of professional male basketball players. To gain further insight into performance qualities that influence horizontal deceleration performance, athletes were separated into high- and low-performance groups for all horizontal deceleration metrics, using a median split analysis, and differences in CMJ force-time metrics were investigated between groups. The results revealed no significant correlations between any CMJ force-time metrics and horizontal deceleration performance. However, athletes’ height and body mass were correlated with different deceleration performance measures, such as average deceleration, horizontal deceleration impulse, and time to stop. Higher performing athletes with regards to average horizontal deceleration and horizontal braking impulse relative to body mass generated greater concentric power (effect size (ES) = 1.04, ES = 0.86) and concentric velocities (ES = 1.17, ES = 0.97), as well as greater jump heights (ES = 1.19, ES = 0.99). Reactive Strength Index modified values were also greater in the higher performing group for horizontal braking impulse relative to body mass (ES = 1.06). On the other hand, higher-performing athletes with regard to horizontal braking impulse generated greater eccentric deceleration force (ES = 0.81) and eccentric power values (ES = 0.88) in the CMJ. Findings may be of interest to practitioners physically preparing basketball players for the sport-specific deceleration actions they may encounter.

Published: December 2022

Adolescents’ physical activity is and must be an essential part of their daily routine for proper and balanced growth and development. The use of accelerometry, a method that records the motor activity time spent in a lying or sitting position over twenty-four hours, is well-known. The actual data about a person’s movements enables us to be accurate and even to analyze the quantity and quality of those movements. We examined 135 children (mean age 129 months) with accelerometers Axivity model AX3, positioned around the wrist around the non-dominant arm. Based on consults, we established average values per twenty-four hours, namely – an average of 38.32% of the time children spent in a sitting position, 6.41% (92 min) they were engaged in a low activity, 15.42% (222 min - in a moderate activity, 1.79% (26 min) - in a high activity; and 38.06% of the time they spent sleeping. We found a weak correlation dependence r = -.263 (95%) between the body fat and the duration of the time spent in high activity.

Sport and physical activity contribute to people’s physical, mental, and social health. The state of students’ physical ability is an accurate and objective indicator, with the help of which the influence and efficiency of the educational process in physical education and sports can be revealed. The aim of this study was to determine the level of development of the physical ability of students in 5th and 6th grade, through analysis and evaluation, according to the new regulatory system for evaluation. The research was carried out with 75 pupils at a secondary school in the city of Sofi a. To realize it, we used a test battery that carries information about the significant indexes of physical fitness. The battery includes five tests: running 30 m., standing long jump with both feet, 3 kg medicine ball throwing with both hands from a standing position, running 200 m., and agility and spatial coordination test. The testing and mathematical-statistical methods (variation analysis comparative analysis with t-criterion of Student and sigma evaluation method) were used in our study. The analysis of the results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the students from 5th and 6th grade, only in terms of the indicator of agility and spatial coordination. Such a difference was found in the same test, by gender and age, among the boys from the two study groups. Our research showed that the state of physical ability of the students participating in the study was at a good level, which corresponds to the average in the country
COMPARISON OF PERIODIZATION MODELS: A CRITICAL REVIEW WITH PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Authors: Api Gustavo , Arruda Danilo
Published: December 2022

Periodization has been used for years in the sports domain as a method of controlling and planning training to reach the highest performance and decrease injury risk. Several periodization models have been developed, such as traditional, block, and undulating. Those models are theoretical training structures designed to facilitate understanding, study, and organization of training. Based on studies, certain models have shown to be superior to others. For instance, block periodization seemed to be more efficient for advanced athletes than traditional and undulating models. While for novice athletes, the chosen model has not seemed to affect their development. Although periodization has been largely studied, the experiments have several limitations, such as considering only training variation as periodization, using short-term investigations, and disregarding the technical and tactical components. Therefore, this critical review aimed to describe and discuss the contents related to traditional, block, and undulating periodization models and to provide coaches with a practical application of each of those models to develop strength, power, and endurance for novice and advanced athletes.
ACCEPTING VULNERABILITY: TOWARDS A MINDFUL SPORT PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Janning Finn
Published: December 2022

In this paper, I would argue for a mindful sports philosophy that stresses that wisdom does not emerge from abstract thinking; instead, it requires that we become attentive to what is concrete: our everyday life and how we spend it. Do we spend our life wisely or not? Answering this question requires that we know ourselves sufficiently — that is to say, have we explored and examined our own life by paying attention to it while we are living it? Am I aware of how my life constantly intervenes with life in general and vice versa? To exemplify this philosophical approach, I will refer to examples from modern football coaching that illustrate how they play themselves and their team into certain thoughts, not the other way around. However, a crucialю part of coaching and leading in sports relies on self-knowledge, not as something that only emerges from the inside out but equally from how the outside affects us. In this paper, I will argue how a mindful sports philosophy understands self-knowledge as both an introspection and “interiosation” of the outside with the quest of becoming worthy of what happens.

This paper is based on the proposed hypothesis: the activities of a company (especially a large, backbone company) in the social, environmental and economic spheres have a corresponding impact on certain aspects of the sustainable development of the region. The goal of the study is to prove this relationship at a conceptual level using indicators of sustainable development applied at different levels of socio-economic systems. The paper addresses a relevant gap in the literature: the absence of frameworks allowing the assessment of the interactions and intendancies between levels. To do this, the literature on this issue was studied and it was proved that there were no studies with a similar framework. The study draws on the systems of sustainable development indicators, suggested in literature and used for the assessment of sustainable development at the regional and company’s level and proposes a framework to integrate them. For that it uses the classical balance scorecard (BSC) tools — the strategic maps both for a region and a company. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in Russian Federation and public joint stock company “ALROSA” were chosen as the basic object of research at the regional and corporate level, respectively. The built strategic maps reflect the decomposition of the main strategic goal and contain an interdependent set of sustainable development indicators for each level, which can be used to assess and monitor the results of the relevant strategies. Then, a new conceptual framework reflecting the impact of the l company’s activities on the sustainable development of the region is proposed. The framework includes the performance indicators of the company and the region by three dimensions of sustainable development — environmental, social, and economic. On the basis of the conceptual scheme of the relationship, it is possible in the future to build econometric models based on the proposed indicators. The identified quantitative assessments in this case will make it possible to make strategic management decisions that will maximize the positive effect of the implementation of the sustainable development strategy in the region using the potential of companies.

Published: December 2022

The targets set in the field of efficient use of available resources have become prerequisites for the development of a circular economy. Because of the efficient use of resources, it became necessary to set international targets in order to ensure the sustainable development of the global consumption of world resources. The article provides a comparative analysis of linear and circular models of economies. An assessment is made of the formation and disposal of production and consumption waste both in general and by types of economic activity in Russia for 2005–2021. Challenges of transition to a new resource-efficient agricultural model are considered. The proposed approach assumes that the goods produced today can become resources of tomorrow, while saving resources, reducing waste, creating new jobs and providing new economic opportunities. The article emphasizes the importance of transforming traditional farming in the real economic system. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the Komi Republic, a circular economy model of agriculture and agro-food system was for the first time proposed, taking into account the peculiarities of its functioning. The study revealed weak points in the circulation of the food and food chain in the region. To develop a viable model, a series of expert interviews was conducted with experts and representatives of the Republic of Komi executive authorities as well as a series of interviews with peasant farm owners and directors of preschool and educational organizations and hospitals of the republic municipalities. The practical significance of the model introduction in the regional circular economy of the republic as follows: food losses reduction, food waste generation decrease, as well as food security level and agricultural sector resources rational use rising. It was determined that a coordinated and holistic interdepartmental approach in the development of appropriate policies and concepts for the transition to a closed production cycle in the northern region, is essential in agricultural circular economy advancement. The further research will deal with development of circular economy specific model applied to a leading farm of the republic.

Authors:   Vologda Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Patrakova Svetlana S.
Published: December 2022

Ensuring balanced spatial development of Russia is not possible without the implementation of measures for accelerated development of rural areas. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need to adjust the priorities of rural development in the North of Russia based on the analysis of the regional state program “Integrated development of rural areas of the Vologda region”. The methodological basis is the developments of regional and spatial economics and economy of rural territories. The information base was the data of Federal State Statistics Service, reports of the Vologda Region state authorities, the results of surveys of the Vologda Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. We used methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and correlation as well as regression analysis. The elements of scientific novelty are consideration of rural areas as an integral part of the region's space as well as integrated use of monographic, statistical and econometric methods in justifying the need to change the priorities of rural development. The expediency of adjusting the priorities of rural development in the direction of active advancement of their economy is revealed. It seems relevant to adjust priorities by including measures for the development of the rural economy, enshrined in the Strategy for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030, and measures to form a single rural-urban space.

The purpose of this article is to consider the geopolitical significance of the Arctic region, as well as the role of consulting in the implementation of strategic investment projects in the development of Arctic territories. The novelty of the work consists in updating data on the specifics of activities in the Arctic region, analyzing current associated risks and assessing the feasibility of attracting external experts to provide consulting services within the framework of project implementation. The implementation of strategic investment projects in the Arctic region has several specific aspects that lead to the emergence of various risks. For example, only Russian oil companies transport liquefied gas and oil in ice, which is an extremely complex process. Therefore, for timely identification, as well as elimination / minimization of associated risks, it is necessary to involve appropriate experts. In particular, when implementing projects in the Arctic zone, it is advisable to involve specialized consultants. The practical significance of the work is to analyze the activities of leading consulting companies and identify current trends in the development of the consulting services market in the Arctic region. During the study, the authors concluded that it is impossible to attract foreign consulting companies to implement strategic projects in the Arctic region due to the presence of political and economic risks. The article notes the need to create domestic consulting companies that have broad competencies in solving problems related to the implementation of strategic projects in the Arctic region. These prerequisites can be used to conduct further research on the topic under consideration. Thus, it is necessary to create a separate training area in Russian universities, which will be aimed at training experts with knowledge of the specifics of working in the Arctic region. For the successful implementation of long-term projects in the Arctic region, it is necessary to train highly qualified experts with a wide range of knowledge about the geopolitical, economic and natural conditions of the Arctic region, who are able to participate as external consultants in the implementation of the national strategy for the development of the Arctic and projects of various levels of complexity.

The implementation of investment projects in the regions of the Russian Arctic requires appropriate staffing, which,in conditions of negative migration dynamics, becomes one of the key risks for them. Today, shift method is a fait accompli,which is ambiguously viewed and requires a separate careful study to enhance its positive effects and offset possible negative consequences, including achieving strategic indicators for the development of the regions of the Russian Arctic. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the possibilities and conditions of shift method management for the transformation of migration processes in the regions of the Russian Arctic. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of an approach to shift method management, which is able to change the prevailing negative migration trends in the regions of the Russian Arctic associated with population outflow. Shift method is considered as a possible reserve, which, with appropriate management,is able to change the prevailing negative demographic trends in the regions of the Russian Arctic. For this purpose, as a research method we chose written survey of employees working in shifts at one of the large Arctic enterprises. It was confirmed that the shift method can be a reserve for the transformation of migration processes in the regions of the Russian Arctic. At the same time, it is necessary to change the approach to it as an object of management, clarify its types and build a consistent policy of transition from one type to another based on the specific peculiarities of migration motivation. Detailed policy of the transition and development of certain measures, order of their implementation and formation of an integrated management mechanism that takes into account the state and the employer, will be a promising direction for further research.

The outbreak of a new coronavirus infection and the need to combat it everywhere contributed to the more active implementation by companies of their policies in the field of corporate social responsibility, the growth of social investments in healthcare and education, and the development of corporate volunteering. Such an increase in activity was also observed earlier — during periods of other crises and disasters, when companies significantly expanded their social orientation, moved to a new level of interaction with employees, consumers and communities to solve acute problems of a critical period, retaining these new elements in the future already in its current activities. The aim of the work was to study the practice of implementing corporate social responsibility during periods of various crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. In the process of work, scientific methods of content analysis, logical and comparative analysis were used. The study contributes to the scientific discourse on the problem of the relationship between the theory and practice of corporate social responsibility, its implementation during periods of various crises. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the results obtained in the practice of initiating and implementing by business structures, including Russian Arctic companies, their policies in this area (including now, during the Ukrainian crisis, in conditions of geopolitical and geo-economic uncertainty). It is obvious that the still existing uncertainty in the manifestation of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of new unprecedented changes in geopolitical and geo-economic conditions caused by the Ukrainian crisis, suggests continuation of the study of these issues and requires additional research on corporate social responsibility, as well as its practical implementation by companies, carrying out their economic activities in the Russian Arctic.
Apto Físico Pre Competitivo en Mayores De 35 Años: Paradojas, Falacias y Misterios de un Falso Seguro De Vida
Authors: Lombardero Martín
Published: December 2022

En la creencia popular el apto fisico precompetitivo se lo interpreta como una poliza de  seguro de vida. La comunidad medica sabe que no es asi. Existes variables inmanejables cuando el deportista compite. La tasa de muerte subita (MS) es muy baja en menores de 35 años  (la mayoria de la causas de MS son congenitas), pero es mayor en mayores de 35 años. Esta poblacion, ademas de estar en constante crecimiento, es la mas compleja de evaluar porque la mayor parte de las MS ocurren por enfermedad coronaria, impredecible e indetectable con test funcionales mientras transcurre la variante subclinica. Y los aptos fisicos precompetitivos en mayores de 35 años tienen vigencia por un año. Si bien son utiles para evaluar su estado actual con  reevaluacion de factores de riesgo, no pueden asegurar que ante un esfuerzo intenso y en otras condiciones metabolicas y psicologicas, no se genere un evento coronario. Evaluamos el rol del apto fisico precompetitivo en esta poblacion y el rol de la calcificacion coronaria en el deporte.

Published: December 2022

Review question / Objective: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been employed in arthroscopic shoulder surgery (ASS) as an alternative novel interfacial plane block. However, its analgesic efficacy is still controversial. Whether ESPB could improve analgesic efficacy in ASS is what the current meta-analysis seeks to find out. Information sources: We searched different databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to November 29, 2022, using medical subject headings (MeSH) and free-text terms without language restrictions. The primary purpose of searching was for the selection of RCTs for meta-analysis but also to avoid unplanned duplication and compare reported review methods from other systematic reviews. The following search terms were used for the search of each database: “arthroscopic shoulder surgery”, “shoulder surgery”, “total shoulder arthroplasty”, “shoulder arthroscopy”, and “erector spinae plane block”, “erector spinae muscle”. We also searched for grey literature by supplementary hand searching.
