“Black and Red Laughter”: Subverting Whiteness in Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring
Authors: Zolotariov Elena
Published: November 2023

Abstract: This essay examines how Ernest Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring satirizes the primitivist movement and subverts racial, national and gender stereotypes in his depiction of White Americans and Native Americans. It argues that Hemingway challenges the purported supremacy of Whiteness and stability of a normative national identity, while also undercutting generalized assumptions about Native Americans. It moreover probes the connection between David Garnett’s A Man in the Zoo and Hemingway’s novella to show Hemingway’s early inversions of the male gaze in relation to performances of manhood and Whiteness. It concludes that The Torrents of Spring is not a simple parody of the primitivist movement, but a complex and nuanced satire that reflects the author’s early engagement with the formation and subversion of dominant ideas about national identity in the modernist era.
Observations on Tagalog Genitive Inversion
Authors: Hsieh Henrison
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Tagalog is a strongly head-initial language: arguments without special discourse status typically follow their lexical heads. However, genitive-marked pronominal arguments display a word order alternation where instead of following their lexical head, they may precede it. This alternation, which I refer to here as Genitive Inversion, has received comparatively little attention in the research on Tagalog, even though it is relatively commonplace. This paper offers a detailed description of the behavior of Genitive Inversion, showing what kinds of arguments it can apply to and what environments it can apply in. I show that this process raises questions about the basic properties of Tagalog and discuss directions for potential analyses and avenues for further research into this topic.
Gender and Sexuality Center Professionals’ Narrative Accounts of Racialized Institutional Resistance to Anti-Racism Work
Authors: Duran Antonio , Jourian T.J.
Published: November 2023

Using data from a narrative study investigating the experiences of
20 gender and sexuality center (GSC) practitioners, this study examined how
professionals described the racialized nature of institutions and its influence
on their engagement with anti-racist practices. Findings revealed how participants perceived the foundations of GSC work as grounded in whiteness, how
resources upheld whiteness, and the impacts of racialized organizations on
professionals across racial identity. We provide implications for research and
practice, arguing that a major contribution is to consider how the racialized
nature of organizations of higher education is intricately connected to other
forms of marginalization (e.g., queer and trans oppression).
Invitations to New Worlds: The Potential of Hospitality for William Morris and H. G. Wells
Authors: Fagan Joshua
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT: The enhanced accessibility of rail and steamship travel for the rising middle-classes transformed Victorian tourism, replacing the privileged classes’ Grand Tour with a new conception of hospitality that defied conventional social mores. The writings of H. G. Wells and William Morris navigate the modern pursuit of intense, revitalizing sensations that create fresh conceptions of society, in the process critiquing modern Britain’s one-sided celebration of industrialization and consumerism. Both authors explore relations between guests and hosts, particularly a host’s duty to reveal the unfamiliar and unexpected to the guest while also encouraging reflection and sober contemplation. In News from Nowhere , Morris portrays ideal hosts who help guests understand the possibilities of a utopian world. Alternatively, Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau and The Time Machine demonstrate the instability and malaise of guests left to explore an unknown, dystopian world with no reliable host for guidance.
Involuntary temporary work and mental health medications: A longitudinal study in Denmark
Authors: Albæk Karsten , Andrade Stefan Bastholm
Published: November 2023

Since the 1970s, most western countries have experienced an increase in jobs characterized by temporary employment working arrangements. Research links temporary employment to negative health outcomes. Yet, no study has analysed the effects on the mental health of workers in involuntary temporary employment. This study analyses the consequences of involuntary temporary employment for mental health. We distinguish between different lengths of exposure to involuntary temporary employment and assess the effects separately for women and men. We use a cohort design that combines data from the Danish version of the longitudinal European Labour Force Survey with administrative data about use of prescription drugs for anxiety and stress. Using a fixed effects approach, we identify the effects of involuntary full-time temporary employment on mental health over time. To further investigate causal effects, we also compare the outcomes of workers in involuntary full-time temporary employment with a control group that consists of workers who become employed in involuntarily full-time temporary job at a later point of time. For women in involuntary full-time temporary employment (for six quarters or more) the results show a deterioration in mental health as indicated by a 12.8 percentage point increase in drug use. Involuntary full-time temporary employment for one quarter results in a decrease in drug use by 1.1 percentage points, but no lasting effects. For men, we find no mental health consequences of involuntary full-time temporary employment. We conclude that involuntary full-time temporary employment for six quarters or more is likely to be harmful for women’s mental health, while shorter periods of involuntary full-time temporary employment may have a minor positive impact. The implications suggest that it is advisable for labour market policy to make it easy for those in involuntary temporary employment to find permanent jobs, and that policy makers should consider adverse mental health problems when addressing policies affecting the prevalence of temporary employment.

Authors: Abera Netsanet Melkamu , Alemu Tewodros Getaneh , Agegnehu Chilot Desta
Published: November 2023

Introduction

Despite gains made from improved antiretroviral therapy coverage in resource limited countries, the occurrence of first line drug resistance remains a priority agenda. To reduce the emergence of resistant viruses, HIV viral load monitoring plays a critical role. However, many resource limited countries have difficulty of monitoring viral load due to economic constraints.There is also limited study regarding viral failure in developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of virological failure among HIV-infected children and adolescents on first-line ART Ethiopia, 2021.

Methods

Institution based retrospective follow-up study was employed on 492 children and adolescents. Data were collected by trained nurses who have experience working in ART clinics. Data were entered using Epi-data version 4.6 and exported to Stata version 14 for analysis. The proportional hazard assumption was checked, and the Weibull regression was fitted. Cox-Snell residual was used to test the goodness of fit, and the appropriate model was selected by AIC. Finally, an AHR with a 95% CI was computed, and variables with a P-value < 0.05 in the multivariable analysis were taken as significant predictors of virological failure.

Results

The overall incidence rate of virological failure was 4.2, (95% CI: 3.41, 5.22) per 1000 person-months of observation with 20,169 person-months follow-up time. In multivariable analysis living in rural area (AHR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.15–3.36), poor adherence (AHR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.24–3.91), lower CD4 Count <200 cells/mm3 (AHR = 2.57, 95% CI: 1.27–5.18) and 201–350 cells/mm3 (AHR = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.28–4.67) respectively, and recent OI (AHR = 4.60, 95% CI: 2.38–8.90) are significantly associated with virological failure.

Conclusion

The incidence rate of virological failure was high. Living in a rural, poor adherence, lower CD4 count, and recent opportunistic infection were independent risk factors associated with virological failure. Hence, it is better to give priority to strengthening the focused evaluation of important variables and managing accordingly.
Effect of attention on human direction-discrimination thresholds at iso-eccentric locations in the visual field: A registered report protocol
Authors: Saxena Pankhuri , Treue Stefan
Published: November 2023

Human visual perceptual performance is strongly dependent on a given stimulus’ distance from the line of sight, i.e. its eccentricity. In addition, multiple studies have shown a dependence on a stimulus’ angular position relative to the fovea. In humans, the resulting spatial profile of perceptual performance (the “performance field”) typically shows better performance near the lower vertical meridian, compared to the upper vertical meridian, and better performance near the horizontal meridian compared to the vertical meridian. Predominantly, these variations have been interpreted as sensory inhomogeneities. But it has also been shown that they are modulated by the allocation of spatial attention, either homogeneously elevating performance or compensating for the sensory inhomogeneities. Here, we propose a study protocol for pre-registration to investigate such interactions between sensory and attentional effects. First, we will determine performance fields for time-dependent, dynamic stimuli, namely the direction discrimination of moving random dot patterns. Then, we will establish whether directing focal attention to a particular stimulus location differentially improves thresholds compared to a distributed attention condition.
Study on the deterioration characteristics of aeolian sand concrete under the coupling effect of multiple factors in harsh environments
Authors: Li Genfeng , Gao Bo , Zhu Cong , Hu Hao , Fang Huaqiang
Published: November 2023

This study takes the aeolian sand concrete as a research object, uses the relative dynamic elastic modulus to study its macro characteristics, and combines nuclear magnetic resonance、scanning electron microscope to study its pore characteristics and micro morphology under the action of prestress, freeze-thaw and salt intrusion. The results show that with the increase of the amount of aeolian sand, the dynamic elastic modulus of aeolian sand concrete shows a pattern of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing; when no prestress is applied, the porosity of aeolian sand concrete first increases, then decreases, and then continues to increase. Among them, the porosity of aeolian sand concrete with a 40% content of aeolian sand decreases by 0.06% compared to that with a 0% content of aeolian sand, and decreases by 0.003% compared to that with a 60% content of aeolian sand; with the increase of prestress, the porosity of aeolian sand concrete with the same amount of aeolian sand increases gradually with the increase of damage degree. The porosity of concrete with 40% aeolian sand content increases by 0.33% when the damage degree is 0.0 compared to 0.3, with a 6.31% increase in the number of multi damage pores; under the coupling effect of multiple factors, when the amount of aeolian sand is 40%, the damage degree of the four groups of aeolian sand concrete before and after the coupling effect is 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3, respectively, increases by 25.8%, 32.2%, 73.8%, and 85.8%, respectively; under the coupling effect of multiple factors, the content of aeolian sand is 60%, the damage degree is 0.2 and 0.3 groups, and the content of aeolian sand is 20%, the damage degree is 0.3 groups, which does not meet the standard requirements; under the coupling action of stress, freeze-thaw, salt intrusion and the amount of aeolian sand, the filling effect of aeolian sand on the internal pores of aeolian sand concrete decreases first, then increases, and then decreases with the increase of the amount of aeolian sand. The filling effect is further weakened after the action of stress. After the superposition of freeze-thaw and salt intrusion, the coupling effect of water and salt solution in frost heaving medium makes the variation law and range of physical and chemical characteristics of aeolian sand concrete show a great difference.

Published: November 2023

The increased sensation error between the surroundings and the driver is a major problem in driving simulators, resulting in unrealistic motion cues. Intelligent control schemes have to be developed to provide realistic motion cues to the driver. The driver’s body model incorporates the effects of vibrations on the driver’s health, comfort, perception, and motion sickness, and most of the current research on motion cueing has not considered these factors. This article proposes a novel optimal motion cueing algorithm that utilizes the driver’s body model in conjunction with the driver’s perception model to minimize the sensation error. Moreover, this article employs H∞ control in place of the linear quadratic regulator to optimize the quadratic cost function of sensation error. As compared to state of the art, we achieve decreased sensation error in terms of small root-mean-square difference (70%, 61%, and 84% decrease in case of longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, and yaw velocity, respectively) and improved coefficient of cross-correlation (3% and 1% increase in case of longitudinal and lateral acceleration, respectively).

Introduction

Fetal infection during labor with fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) is associated with neurodevelopmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, neonatal sepsis, and mortality. Current methods to diagnose FIRS are inadequate. Thus, the study aim was to explore whether fetal heart rate variability (HRV) analysis can be used to detect FIRS.

Material and methods

In chronically instrumented near-term fetal sheep, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was injected intravenously to model FIRS. A control group received saline solution injection. Hemodynamic, blood gas analysis, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and 14 HRV indices were recorded for 6 h. In both groups, comparisons were made between the stability phase and the 6 h following injection (H1–H6, respectively) and between LPS and control groups.

Results

Fifteen lambs were instrumented. In the LPS group (n = 8), IL-6 increased significantly after LPS injection (p < 0.001), confirming the FIRS model. Fetal heart rate increased significantly after H5 (p < 0.01). In our FIRS model without shock or cardiovascular decompensation, five HRV measures changed significantly after H2 until H4 in comparison to baseline. Moreover, significant differences between LPS and control groups were observed in HRV measures between H2 and H4. These changes appear to be mediated by an increase of global variability and a loss of signal complexity.

Conclusion

As significant HRV changes were detected before FHR increase, these indices may be valuable for early detection of acute FIRS.
The European Audiovisual Media Services Directive: Normative precursor in the global governance towards VoD platforms?
Authors: Vlassis Antonios
Published: November 2023

The commentary emphasizes the potential diffusion of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) provisions in Australia, Mexico, South Africa and Canada. It argues that the revision of the AVMSD has changed the framework of possibilities for several public authorities in the audio-visual media sector and that today a dynamic wave of new provisions towards Video-on-Demand (VoD) streamers is taking place across several liberal democratic regimes. However, the commentary shows that even though transnational VoD services represent disruptive new actors, creating industrial, technological and institutional shock, the latter does not lead to the same political issue cross-nationally.
A cultural levy or a digital streaming service tax: New film industry levies conflicting with the EU member states’s bilateral tax treaty obligations and OECD digital tax agreements?
Authors: Buriak Svitlana
Published: November 2023

This note highlights the obstacles that the film levy, as a form of financial contributions on video on demand (VoD) service providers under Article 13(2) of the 2018 EU Audiovisual Media Service Directive, may face in a cross-border context from an international tax perspective. In particular, the first obstacle is that the double tax treaties of member states exclude the possibility to levy income taxes on a foreign VoD service provider if it has no fixed and permanent presence, for example, an office, in the country. Second, the new global tax agreement on addressing the tax challenges of digitalization demands its parties (137 countries) to remove all unilateral domestic taxes on all digital services and all companies.
De las fuentes escritas a las técnicas de teledetección

En la cuenca del Esla (provincias de León y Zamora) contrasta la ausencia de evidencias materiales del ejército romano con el desarrollo de algunos episodios bélicos destacados por los autores clásicos. En este artículo analizamos una serie de recintos militares localizados con técnicas de teledetección que pueden representar un punto de encuentro entre ambas fuentes. Se describe la metodología seguida y se presentan las evidencias observadas, adscribiéndolas al período tardorrepublicano/altoimperial. A continuación, se plantean algunas hipótesis sobre su inserción en los distintos contextos históricos posibles, atendiendo especialmente al recinto de Villacete por su posible relación con un evento destacado por los textos grecolatinos: la toma de la ciudad de Lancia.
ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF THE FOMITOPSIS PINICOLA TRUNE EXTRACT IN THE COMPOSITION OF POLYETHYLENE FILMS
Authors: Vorobyova Elena Valerievna
Published: November 2023

Scientific literature shows that the thallus of Fomitopsis pinicola is sufficiently rich in secondary metabolites with pronounced antioxidant properties. However, the experiments showed that ethanol extracts of F. pinicola compared with extracts of higher plants (for example, Chelidonium majus) were characterized by low antioxidant properties, both in the polymer composition and according to biochemical analysis. The induction period of oxidation of polyethylene films with extracts of F. pinicola was 3.25 times lower than the induction period of oxidation of similar polymer films with C. majus extracts. It is assumed that this result is a consequence of the presence of most phenolic compounds of F. pinicola within melanins. In the composition of these pigments, phenolic compounds are sedentary and cannot diffuse in the polymer melt. In addition, a number of reactive functional groups will not exhibit their antioxidant properties because of spatial difficulties.
Extraction conditions (extractant, time), under which the obtained F. pinicola extracts confirm high antioxidant properties in polyethylene films, significantly exceeding the antioxidant properties of C. majus extracts, were experimentally determined during the studies. It is shown that to obtain highly effective antioxidant F. pinicola extracts for polymer stabilization it is most rational to use acetone as an extractant. The recommended extraction time is at least 5 days.
Detección geoespacial de jales mineros con imágenes de alta resolución y determinación de metales pesados en Tejamen, Durango, México
Authors: Escobar-Flores Jonathan Gabriel , Sandoval Espinoza Sarahi
Published: November 2023

En esta investigación se detectaron con imágenes Worldview2 tres jales mineros abandonados. Su localización se confirmó con imágenes multiespectrales obtenidas por un vehículo aéreo no tripulado. A estos jales, y otros 13 sitios donde se reportó actividad minera, se les realizó una cuantificación de los siguientes metales pesados: cadmio (Cd) y plomo (Pb), así como del metaloide arsénico (As), mediante espectrofotometría de absorción atómica. Para analizar la distribución espacial de estos elementos se generó una base de datos con mediciones de los jales encontrados más 22 sitios reportados por los centros de experimentación del Servicio Geológico Mexicano. Con esta información se generaron mapas de interpolación espacial para cada elemento y se encontró que los valores de Pb ubicados en el poblado son mayores a 2000 ppm, un patrón similar se presentó con As con valores superiores a 1500 ppm, mientras que los valores de Cd fueron menores a 30 ppm. Se concluye que tanto los valores Pb y As están por encima de la NOM-147-SEMARNAT/SSA1-2004, por lo tanto, es urgente un plan de remediación de esos suelos, principalmente en los sitios que se localizaron dentro del poblado y en las inmediaciones de la presa. Se recomienda la fitoremediación con Dodonaea viscosa que recientemente se ha reportado su eficacia en la retención de metales pesados contenidos en los suelos de minas abandonadas.

The paper considers the problem of managing the computational platform reconfiguration of evolving cyber-physical systems. The urgency of the task is determined by a significant changing increasing of the cyber-physical systems’ using conditions (traffic management, logistics flows, distributed production), leading to a change in the requirements of the destination. The intensive of change for innovation cyber-physical can be more than 0.5-1.0 by year, that require significant resource for reconfiguration and modernization. A significant factor in managing the structural and functional composition of informational computing modules is a high degree of uncertainty in the indicators of the such modules using at the early stages of the decision-making cycle. Within the framework of the study, an approach to managing the reconfiguration of informational computing platforms based on the mechanism of maximum functional suitability of a set of informational computing modules is considered. The effectiveness of Shortest Job the Next (SJN), Dynamic Priorities (DPR) and Static Priorities (SPR) planning mechanism are evaluated in the case of uncertainty (the error coefficient of variation varies in the range from 0 to 1.75). In the case of zero error – DPR mechanism is more effective than SPR, that is more effective than SJN. Based on the analysis of the effectiveness of a set of methods for managing reconfiguration with variations in the error of estimating the parameters of the upgraded information and computing modules, a context-dependent MAX management model is obtained in the article. MAX management model is a combination of approaches based on static and dynamic priorities: if the value of the coefficient of variation more 0.75 than MAX = SPR else DPR. The use of such a management model makes it possible to increase the integral efficiency of the target cyber-physical system.

Orevactaene yellow pigment was produced by solid-state fermentation of broken rice using Epicoccum nigrum. The pigment was extracted using water as a solvent and subjected to stability studies at different temperatures (30, 40, 60, and 80°C), pH (4, 6, and 8), sterilization, and sunlight exposure treatment. The observed data were fitted in the first-order kinetic model. Yellow pigment stability was found to vary at different temperatures studied. At 30°C, only a 4% decrease in color intensity was observed after 2 h; at 40°C, an 8% decrease was observed, and at 80°C and pH 6.0, 17% of color intensity was lost. These results showed that the orevactaene pigment produced by E. nigrum is heat-sensitive and changes in color intensity should be expected in heat-processed products. After 180 min at 80°C, yellow pigments maintained 82 and 76% of the initial color at pH 6 and 8, while a 65% decrease in color intensity was observed at 80°C, pH 4. Autoclaving resulted in 69% decay and exposure of pigment to sunlight for 2 h showed 1% decay. The half-life period of the pigment at different temperatures varied from 82.5 to 5.25 h. The decimal reduction time decreased from 275 to 17.5 h with an increase in the temperature. Thermodynamic parameters for pigment decay at pH 6.0 were represented in terms of enthalpy ∆H, activation energy E
a, free energy ∆G, and entropy ∆S. The values observed were 44.52–44.93, 48.48, 96.60–105.18 kJ/mol, and −170.50 to −171.85 J/mol/K, respectively. All these parameters help in predicting the quality changes in terms of appearance during thermal processing and optimizing the process.
The information status of iconic enrichments: modelling gradient at-issueness
Authors: Barnes Kathryn , Ebert Cornelia
Published: November 2023

Linguistic structures can contribute different types of meaning alongside standard assertions, such as conventional implicatures and presuppositions, which have long been described as being non-at-issue meaning contributions. Although information status has long been handled as a binary opposition between non-at-issue and at-issue content, recent research suggests that a gradient approach may be more appropriate. Building on new – and in the formal linguistic framework so far mostly neglected – data targeting spoken and gestural iconicity, specifically iconic gestures and ideophones, this paper investigates the information status of such iconic contributions in spoken language and suggests a new theoretical concept of at-issueness by spelling it out as a gradient category. The paper highlights a range of factors which can affect the information status of iconic contributions, proposing a scale for iconic phenomena based on these factors. To formally model this scale, we propose an approach in which at-issueness is analysed as a gradient property based on a given structure-inherent at-issueness status and the corresponding proposition’s relevance to a Question Under Discussion in a given context. This analysis accounts for the variations in information status observed between different iconic enrichments and their impact on truth conditions and paves the way for an approach to Common Ground updates using this model. The analysis outlined here allows for a more nuanced understanding of non-at-issue content and its interaction with at-issue content and provides predictions which can guide further experimental work on information status and the factors that influence it.

Published: November 2023

Two novel UV photosensitive micellar systems, trimeric dodecyl anionic–cationic surfactant (TDCC)/trans-OMCA, and trimeric cetyl anionic–cationic surfactant (TCCC)/trans-OMCA, were successfully synthesized by using two different carbon chain length trimeric anionic–cationic surfactants (TACS, including TDCC and TCCC) and the photosensitive additive trans-o-methoxycinnamic acid (trans-OMCA). The incorporation of trans-OMCA resulted in a peak in the zero shear viscosity (η
0) of the system at pH = 6.17–6.61. The flow behaviour of the TACS/OMCA system was well described by the Carreau-Yasuda model. Prior to UV irradiation, the TCCC/trans-OMCA system exhibited pronounced shear thinning, thixotropic, and viscoelastic properties. After UV irradiation at 365 nm, the isomerization of trans-OMCA to cis-OMCA caused the disruption of the network structures, leading to a significant decrease in the thixotropic and viscoelastic properties, resulting in a decrease in viscosity. The viscosity reduction rate of the TCCC/trans-OMCA system reached 99 %. The influence of the hydrophobic carbon chain length on the UV responsiveness was also investigated. The TDCC/trans-OMCA system exhibited an 86 % decrease in η
0 after UV irradiation, highlighting the favorable effect of longer hydrophobic tail chains in improving the UV responsiveness of the micellar system. The UV light kinetics of the TCCC/trans-OMCA solution were studied and a rheological model was developed to accurately describe the viscosity changes. The TCCC was found to predominantly exhibit cationic characteristics at pH = 6.17–6.61. In this pH range, the 2 wt% TCCC/0.12 wt% NaSal system exhibited excellent viscoelasticity, and the addition of trans-OMCA disrupted the network structure resulting in a decrease in viscosity. After UV irradiation, the viscosity of the system increased by 2.5 times, confirming the potential of the TCCC/NaSal/trans-OMCA micellar system as a UV thickener.
Sport-Specific Tests for Endurance in Taekwondo: A Narrative Review With Guidelines for the Assessment

Published: November 2023

To sustain the specific intermittent activity of an official taekwondo match, high demands are placed on both aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms. Studies determining the contributions of the energy systems during the simulated match found a 62–74% participation of the oxidative system. In parallel with the widespread use of general tests for assessing endurance in taekwondo athletes, research has focused on developing sport-specific tests. This narrative review aims to present the sport-specific tests available in the current literature for assessing endurance in taekwondo. It summarizes and analyzes the development and validation process of each test. Additionally, we provide practical applications, recommendations, and future perspectives as guidelines for assessment, with the ultimate objective of encouraging scientists, coaches, and physical trainers to use sport-specific methodologies. All the tests described in this review represent alternative methodologies to classical general tests. They are easily accessible, noninvasive, simple to conduct, and specifically designed for assessing endurance in taekwondo athletes. However, it is important to consider that each test has specific methodological and application characteristics and a different development and validation path. These factors must be taken into consideration when deciding which test to use.

Statutory and by-law regulations determine the functioning of the primary school, and within this also define the way these premises are used. Within the framework of the project Designing guidelines for the quality design of modern school architecture with the aim of supporting a comprehensive sustainable way of living and working in school, an important goal is to establish opportunities for a movement-friendly school. The goal was to check the attitude of school leaders (with many years of experience) and the future professional sports public (without many years of experience) to the use of different school facilities for the realization of supporting physical activity. Questionnaires were filled out by 21 elementary school principals and 72 students in the third year of first-level studies and the first year of second-level studies at the Ljubljana Faculty of Sports. Both groups would make significantly better use of the existing spaces for physical activity, but in comparison, managements are more in favor of the occasional use of school spaces such as classrooms, corridors and multi-purpose halls, outdoor children's and outdoor sports grounds for sports activities; the managements estimate that there are not enough toilets, shower cubicles, hand basins in their schools, both found a lack of foot basins; students notice more that students do not shower after practice; a slightly smaller proportion of management would practice athletics, gymnastics, football and handball in gyms; the proportion of managers who would dedicate corridors and a multi-purpose hall to football in the future is higher, and the proportion of those who plan athletic content on the outdoor children's playground is lower.
