Poemadançando: Gilka Machado e Eros Volúsia
Authors: Silva Soraia Maria
Published: June 2021

Este livro desenvolve uma leitura interdisciplinar entre a poesia simbolista de Gilka Machado (1893 -1980) e a dança de Eros Volúsia (1914-2004)- A dança de Eros Volúsia mantém, em sua estética do movimento, muitas referências simbolistas, expressionistas e modernistas, que foram esboçadas ou mesmo desenvolvidas nos poemas de Gilka Machado. Desse modo, tornou-se fecundo realizar um estudo aprofundado, interrelacionando as obras dessas duas personalidades da literatura e da dança, as quais, tendo produções independentes e reconhecidas, cada uma em sua área de atuação estética, mantinham um estreito diálogo, para além dos laços familiares, no campo artístico. Uma das preocupações dessa analogia é verificar a imagem metafórica que se apresenta como poesia nos passos e nos textos de Eros Volúsia e como dança nas palavras poéticas de Gilka Machado. O estudo aqui proposto só foi possível mediante o acesso ao material de consulta, como recortes de jornais, revistas e entrevistas, gentilmente cedidos pela bailarina e seu sobrinho Amaury Menezes. Resgatar o texto do bailarino, tanto na obra de Eros Volúsia como nos trabalhos literários de sua mãe, Gilka Machado, é de fundamental importância para a compreensão e o desenvolvimento de metodologias e estudos interdisciplinares e multidisciplinares, conjugando o encontro poético entre literatura e dança. Da tradução intersemiótica à dansintersemiotização, passando pela dansintermediação, surge a mediação entre linguagens, um filtro de interpretação e transposição criativa. Nesse caminho, rompendo a intraduzível poesia com a transmutação de valores, gestos de criação poética, os quais já abriram caminho para investigações sobre a tradução, além dos lingüísticos, tem-se aqui o poemadançado analisado por um método híbrido.

Authors: Cheatham Scott W , Baker Russell T , Abdenour Thomas E
Published: June 2021

Background

The existing body of kinesiology tape (KT) research reveals inconsistent results which challenges the efficacy of the intervention. Understanding professional beliefs and KT clinical application might provide insight for future research and development of evidence-based guidelines.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to survey and document the beliefs and clinical application methods of KT among healthcare professionals in the United States.

Design

Cross-sectional survey study.

Methods

A 30-question online survey was emailed to members of the National Athletic Trainers Association, Academy of Orthopedic Physical Therapy, and American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy. Professionals were also informed through a recruitment post in different private healthcare Facebook groups.

Results

One thousand and eighty-three respondents completed the survey. Most respondents used KT for post-injury treatment (74%), pain modulation (67%), and neuro-sensory feedback (60%). Most believed that KT stimulates skin mechanoreceptors (77%), improve local circulation (69%), and modulates pain (60%). Some respondents believed KT only created a placebo effect (40%) and use it for such therapeutic purposes (58%). Most used a standard uncut roll (67%) in black (71%) or beige (66%). Most respondents did not use any specialty pre-cut tape (83%), infused tape (99.54%), or a topical analgesic with tape (65%). The most common tape tension lengths used by respondents were 50% tension (47%) and 25% (25%) tension. Patient reported outcomes (80%) were the most common clinical measures. Most respondents provided skin prep (64%) and tape removal (77%) instructions. Some did not provide any skin prep (36%) or tape removal (23%) instruction. The average recommended times to wear KT were two to three days (60%). The maximum times ranged from two to five days (81%).

Conclusion

This survey provides insight into how professionals use KT and highlights the gap between research and practice. Future research should address these gaps to better determine evidence-based guidelines.

The Immediate Effects of Foam Rolling and Stretching on Iliotibial Band Stiffness: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Pepper Talin M , Brismée Jean-Michel , Sizer Jr Phillip S , Kapila Jeegisha , Seeber Gesine H , Huggins Christopher A , Hooper Troy L
Published: June 2021

Background

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common clinical condition likely caused by abnormal compressive forces to the iliotibial band (ITB). Stretching interventions are common in ITBS treatment and may predominantly affect tensor fascia latae (TFL). Another ITBS treatment is foam rolling, which may more directly affect the ITB. Shear wave ultrasound elastography (SWUE) measures real-time soft tissue stiffness, allowing tissue changes to be measured and compared.

Purpose

To examine effects of foam rolling and iliotibial complex stretching on ITB stiffness at 0˚ and 10˚ of hip adduction and hip adduction passive range of motion (PROM).

Study Design

Randomized controlled trial.

Methods

Data from 11 males (age = 30.5 ± 9.0 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) = 27.8 ± 4.0) and 19 females (age = 23.5 ± 4.9, BMI = 23.2 ± 2.1) were analyzed for this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, stretching, and foam rolling. Shear wave ultrasound elastography measurements included ITB Young’s modulus at the mid-thigh, the distal femur and the TFL muscle belly. ITB-to-femur depth was measured at mid-thigh level. Hip adduction PROM was measured from digital images taken during the movement.

Results

No significant interactions or main effects were found for group or time differences in ITB Young’s modulus at the three measured locations. The ITB stiffness at the mid-thigh and distal femur increased with 10° adduction, but TFL stiffness did not increase. A main effect for adduction PROM was observed, where PROM increased 0.8˚ post-treatment (p = 0.02).

Conclusion

A single episode of stretching and foam rolling does not affect short-term ITB stiffness. The lack of ITB stiffness changes may be from an inadequate intervention stimulus or indicate that the interventions have no impact on ITB stiffness.

Strategies for Gait Retraining in a Collegiate Runner with Transfemoral Amputation: A Case Report
Authors: Santer Jillian , MacDonald Stephanie , Rizzone Katherine , Biehler Shawn , Beiswenger Tanya
Published: June 2021

Background

More than fifty percent of people with limb amputations participate in sports or physical activity following amputation. Athletes with limb amputations may face additional challenges including phantom limb pain (PLP), psychological barriers, prosthetic complications, and gait abnormalities. Prevalence of PLP in the general amputee population is estimated to be as high as 85%. Despite the high prevalence of PLP, there is little research regarding the use of gait training as a treatment for PLP among both the general amputee population and athletes.

Case Description

A 20-year old female collegiate track and field athlete presented with phantom knee pain brought on with running. The athlete demonstrated deficits in core and hip strength as well as decreased single leg stability bilaterally. Running gait analysis revealed circumduction with the prosthesis for limb advancement and increased vaulting with push off on the sound (uninvolved) limb. Gait retraining strategies were implemented to address video analysis findings and create a more efficient running gait and address phantom limb pain symptoms.

Outcomes

Rehabilitation and gait retraining strategies were effective in improving several clinical and functional outcomes in this case. Significant improvements were noted in PLP, running gait mechanics, and the patient’s psychological and functional status as measured with a standardized outcome tool, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®).

Discussion

Running gait training following amputation could be a crucial component of rehabilitation for athletes in an attempt to lessen pain while running, especially in those experiencing phantom limb pain (PLP). Utilization of a multidisciplinary team in the gait retraining process is recommended. There is a need for further research to determine the effects of running gait retraining for management of PLP in athletes with amputation.

A Nation-Wide Survey of High School Baseball Coaches’ Perceptions Indicates their Arm Care Programs Play a Role in Injury Prevention
Authors: Matsel K A , Weiss E E , Butler R J , Hoch M C , Westgate P M , Malone T R , Uhl T L
Published: June 2021

Background

Arm care programs consisting of upper extremity strengthening and stretching have been recommended for injury prevention for pitchers of all ages. There has been no investigation into high school baseball coaches’ usage and perceptions of arm care programs to mitigate physical impairments associated with injuries in baseball players.

Hypothesis/Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current usage of arm care programs by high school baseball coaches. The primary objective was to determine if coaches use group-based or individualized arm care programs. The secondary objective sought to determine if the use of arm care programs is influenced by coaches’ age, education, and experience level. Finally, this study explored the potential barriers to arm care implementation and high school baseball coaches’ current awareness and beliefs of injury prevention.

Study Design

Descriptive cross-sectional survey

Methods

A 29-item online survey was emailed to 18,500 high school baseball coaches throughout the United States. Data were collected for three months, and the response rate was 3.7%.

Results

A total of 87.3% (n=571/654) of responding coaches use arm care programs with their players. Of coaches performing arm care, only 18.5% of 571 individualize their arm care exercises based on specific player needs. However, older and more experienced coaches are more likely to individualize their programs. Among the 12.7% (n=83/654) of coaches who do not use arm care programs, the two most commonly cited reasons for not implementing arm care were lack of observed benefit (41%) and insufficient staff (31%). Although 42% of 654 coaches recognized reduced shoulder mobility as a major contributor to injury, risk factors such as throwing with a fatigued arm, previous injury history, and throwing > 8 months per year were not consistently identified as primary risk factors.

Conclusion

The results of this study suggest that the majority high school baseball coaches implement group-based arm care exercise programs to prevent injury. Lack of confidence in the effectiveness and staffing limitations were major barriers to implementation of arm care programming. However, the responding coaches exhibited inconsistent risk factor awareness and dated injury prevention beliefs. Therefore, better educational collaboration between rehabilitation professionals and high school coaches regarding injury risk factors and preventative strategies is warranted.

ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION ANALYSIS OF FIELD EXPOSED SILICON-BASED PV MODULES
Authors: Ahmad Shahab
Published: June 2021

Degradation of on-field PV modules is inevitable but a normal process; however, it is a challenging task to explore the causes behind it. Manufacturers and researchers, to know the causes of degradation, employ both destructive and non-destructive procedures. In this study, nine different PV modules from three different manufacturers have been taken and their electrical output data, over several days, has been collected. The electrical parameters of PV modules are compared with the nameplate data to analyze the average yearly degradation in the electrical performance. Moreover, using visual inspection different degradation modes are identified. Finally, it is concluded that environment is not the only factor but the material used and the processing techniques employed by manufacturers are equally responsible for degradation in the output efficiency of PV modules.
ON EXACT ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS OF THE TIMOSHENKO BEAM MODEL UNDER UNIFORM AND VARIABLE LOADS
Authors: Malik Kamran
Published: June 2021

In this research work, we consider the mathematical model of the Timoshenko beam (TB) problem in the form of a boundary-value problem of a system of ordinary differential equations. Instead of numerical solution using finite difference and finite volume methods, an attempt is made to derive the exact analytical solutions of the model with boundary feedback for a better and explicit description of the rotation and displacement parameters of the TB structure model. The explicit analytical solutions have been successfully found for the uniform and real-time variable load cases. The rotation and displacement profiles obtained through the analytical solutions accurately picture the structure of the beam under uniform and variable loads.
AN EFFICIENT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF TIMOSHENKO BEAM MODEL
Authors: Malik Kamran
Published: June 2021

We propose and implement a finite difference scheme for the numerical solution of the Timoshenko beam model without locking phenomenon. The averaging concept is used in approximating the function, and thus developing the scheme for elements. Finally, the system is discretized into the algebraic system using the proposed scheme and the numerical solution is attained. The numerical solutions are attained for a constant load and a variable load comprising linear and exponential functions. The mathematical model of the Timoshenko beam (TB) problem in the form of a boundary-value problem has been solved successfully for the rotation and displacement parameters. The results agree with other schemes in the literature for various values of the parameter and step size.

The general scientific methods, developed by the authors’ model of testing with open and closed questions, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical data processing were applied while conducting the current study. The model of diagnostics allows obtaining such results at the stage of the Control Experiment: a Good and Excellent Level of knowledge generally have about 35% of the respondents (quite low). We have developed training courses for the following subjects: Philosophy, Ecology and Environmental Economics with the use of information and communication technologies. Formative Experiment test allows distinguishing that quite a high level of unsatisfactory perception have about 11%. At the stage of the formative experiment, the positive effect of the course implementation became obvious. Approximately 61% of respondents found out Good and Excellent level of knowledge, Level of unsatisfactory perception decrease almost in twice and was about 6% (quite a low). The results of the of the Control Experiment stage allowed determining that the courses of the fundamental, natural sciences and general economic training are built to give students a strong foundation of basic knowledge in each subject, but without proper development of planetary thinking. We consider experimental testing of other effective innovative learning technologies for the development of planetary thinking among future specialists to be the prospect of further research. In addition, there is a need to conduct comparative studies in order to check initial and after-experiment results of planetary thinking concept as one of the central.

Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to compare the serum Apelin level in patients with and without polycystic ovarian syndrome to assess this as a diagnostic marker for PCOS. In a case-control study 60 polycystic ovarian syndrome patients diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria and 20 healthy controls of reproductive age group were recruited. Study Design: Case Control study. Setting: Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center in Collaboration with Aga Khan University, Karachi. Period: August 2017 and February 2019. Material & Methods: Blood samples were collected after 12 hours fasting and was used to test serum Apelin, insulin, cortisol and fasting blood glucose levels. Results: Seventy percent PCO subjects had irregular menstrual cycle and 68% suffered from hirsutism; while all PCO subjects had more than 10 antral follicle seen on ultrasound in either one or both ovaries in comparison of 15% controls (p<0.05). Higher Apelin and Testosterone levels in PCO group was reported when compared with controls (p<0.05) across all BMI categories. Apelin showed a positive correlation with number of ovarian cysts (r=0.429; p=0.000); irregular menstrual cyle (r=0.276;p=0.13); blood glucose level (r=0.270; p=0.015) and BMI (r=0.229; p=0.14). Apelin remained independently associated with the risk of PCOS (p=0.020) and elevated testosterone levels (p=0.030). Conclusion: Serum Apelin showed a strong association with irregular menstruation, hirsutism, ovarian cysts, testosterone and deranged blood glucose levels. Therefore, Apelin appears as a potential source for several risk factor in PCOS women of all BMI types.

Material & Methods: Ten patients presented in outdoor patient department with a diagnosis of chronic Monteggia fracture. Four patients were labelled as missed Monteggia fractures, four with late presented Monteggia fractures and two with inadequately treated Monteggia fractures. Bado and Letts classifications were applied for patients. Mean age was 6 years and 8 months and ranged from 4 to 10 years. Mean time interval between injury and admission was 6.1 months. Open reduction of radial head and ulnar osteotomy was done through Boyed approach. Transcapitellar wire was inserted temporarily and then removed so it is not required permanently. The ulnar osteotomy was angulated opposite to the direction of radial head dislocation and fixed with plate and screws. Results: 10 patients were included in this study. The age range was between 4 and 10 years. The study period was six months and follow up was one year. Mean ulnar angulation at osteotomy site was 21.3° (16-25°). Mean ulnar lengthening at osteotomy site was 0.85 cm (0.5-1.8 cm).Improvement in flexion-extension was 20.3%, pronation was 5.1% and supination was 13.7%. Complications included were nounion in 1 case and cubitus valgus in 1 case. Conclusion: Containment of radial head is obtained by open reduction of radial head and with ulnar osteotomy in chronic Monteggia fractures. Annular ligament reconstruction and transcapitellar wire insertion are not required if proper angulation and fixation of ulnar osteotomy is performed. No age limit for this procedure but surgery should be performed before radial head deformation.

Objective: To determine prevalence of Typhi dot IgM positive results in COVID-19 patients at primary and secondary health care hospitals in Pakistan. Study Design: Descriptive Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tehsil Head Quarter Hospital of Burewala and District Head Quarter Hospital of Vehari. Period: 1st March 2020 to 30th June 2020. Material & Methods: Study was done among diagnosed cases of COVID-19 after taking ethical approval from ethical review board. Results were assessed by using SPSS version-24. Results: Males were predominant (71.30%) in our study as COVID-19 positives than the females. Most of the patients (51.70%) were from middle aged group, i.e. 31-60 years. Only 7.40% patients were from elder age group (more than 60 years). More than half of the patients (51.90%) were found to be positive with IgM typhi dot test. We repeated the tests and found the same results. We also calculated the prevalence of typhoid positive cases in COVID patients according to different demographic variables.  As far as gender is concerned, our result was highly statistically significant when associated with typhoid positive results among COVID patients (P=0.0001). Males were predominantly having high rate of typhi dot IgM positives (71.30%) than females. Middle aged patients were found to be more affected by typhi dot positive results. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a high and significant ratio of typhi dot positive results for IgM in COVID patients at Vihari district.

Indiscriminate and rapid urbanization without sufficient infrastructure to manage huge domestic sewage (urban rejected water) generated by urban centers posing serious threats to different ecosystems in many places across the world. On the other hand, the downstream of urban centers facing an acute shortage of water for irrigation. In recent years reuse of urban waste water is being increased in many countries including India irrespective of adverse impacts on other ecosystems. The present study has provided a synoptic review on urban rejected water reuse for irrigation in the major cities of India with a special focus on banks of the Musi river basin in South India where huge wastewater irrigation is being practiced in the world in comparison with global waste water irrigation practices. In all the cases major contaminants namely fecal coliform, nitrates, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) are found in water and with increased soil and groundwater salinity on long term use. The review indicated that there a large scope to intensify the irrigation with proper treatment of wastewater. The study also suggested to understand the impacts of rejected water reuse impact on soilwater-food chain and also emphasizes the need for the establishment of sufficient ETPs to minimize the adverse impacts and also to protect hydroagro ecosystems.
