Tussen marge en middelpunt – voormoeders van genderstudies in Utrecht
Authors: Waaldijk Berteke
Published: January 2024

In this essay, Berteke Waaldijk outlines the early development of gender studies in Utrecht through the course ‘Between Margin and Centre, Women in Culture and Society’. The course lent itself perfectly to an interdisciplinary approach and addressed many interrelated themes, such as gender, colonialism, racism and a politics of location. The course was also an example of close collaboration between Berteke Waaldijk and Rosemarie Buikema, whose ideas and academic careers influenced each other.
The Aesthetics of the Global Value Chain
Authors: Hediger Vinzenz
Published: January 2024

Facilitated by containerization global value and supply chains have largely replaced the factory-in-one-place model of production prevalent from the industrial revolution up until the 1970s. But if there was an aesthetics of the factory, i.e. a generic way in which the visibility of the production process was organized in the interest of controlled transparency, operational efficiency and social legitimacy, is there a comparable aesthetics of the global value chain? Drawing on recent work in infrastructure and media studies, this contribution focuses on the social media, film and design work of Maersk, the world’s largest container shipping company, to analyze three different, but interconnected regimes of visibility in and of global value chains: critical, operative and representational.
Energy and Industrial Film
Authors: Turnbull Thomas
Published: January 2024

Given growing interest in environmental aspects of film, this chapter proposes an energo-critical approach to industrial film, notable for depicting combustive processes, by suggesting four registers for reading such thermodynamic imagery: First the sensorial, which quantifies aspects of energy conversion. Second, energy is recognized in a physicist’s sense, as a capacity to do work, pointing to the augmentation and denigration of human labour. Third, the imperative to save energy via increasing efficiency, a central characteristic of industrial film, manifest in portrayals of power transfers and transformations. Fourth the motif of friction is affirmed as various off-screen resistances impose themselves on the extractive processes of industry. Far from comprehensive, these registers offer starting points for reading energy’s increasing pertinence back into film.
Hydropower for a Sealess Nation
Authors: Česálková Lucie
Published: January 2024

Post-war Czechoslovakia preferred to rely on water resources in its energy policy. This study analyses the role of art and media in the country’s communication of its turn to hydropower. Rivers are approached as environtechnical landscapes that can (re)define modern national identities since they served as lines of communication, economic commodities, and a representational medium, helping to conceptualize ideas of the nation. Accordingly, media and art relating to the construction of dams supported he circulation of knowledge and exploited the symbolic potential of dams as energy sources and as a solution to the national trauma associated with the lack of access to the sea. Industrial films about hydropower contributed to understanding the profound economic paradigm shift from capitalist to socialist order and significantly shaped ideas on the possibilities of turning nature into a source of energy.
Framing Local and International Sentiments and Sounds
Authors: Canjels Rudmer
Published: January 2024

The period after World War II was one of flux and change, during which many countries became independent of colonial rule. This chapter examines the use of locally made films by Unilever and Shell in relation to one of these new independent countries – Nigeria. It will highlight how these international companies began using film in Nigeria as a strategic medium, trying to create a bond between the companies and the films’ viewers – especially through sound – and showing that British and Dutch companies were actively involved in the decolonization process. This chapter also underlines the significance of the international processes and dynamics of industrial film, which not only serve as advertisement for products, processes or company images, but are also shot through with, and transmit, important technical, political, cultural and social discourses.
Industrial Film from the Home Studio
Authors: Stark Alexander
Published: January 2024

This chapter examines the case of the female West German filmmaker Elisabeth Wilms (1905–1981), who started out as a film amateur and became a successful producer of sponsored films. By exploring her methods in industrial film production, the chapter shifts the focus away from highvalue industrial films and their well-known production companies to the lower financial end of film production. The author aims to bring to the fore the historic intersections and interconnections between amateur and industrial filmmaking which have long been overlooked by film studies and exemplifies how filmmaker and client were often amateurs in the film business – a fact that has gained little attention in previous research, but often had a huge impact on the film production process.
Movie and Industry in Italy
Authors: Falchero Anna Maria
Published: January 2024

This chapter outlines a brief history of Italian industrial documentary film, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the late 1960s, underlining the role of the main firms in “modern” industry (i.e. chemicals, energy and mobility) and their attitude toward cinema as a communication tool. The aim is to provide some sort of “guide” through this vast and varied source of imagines from the past, partly stored now as files in Archivio del Cinema Industriale e della Comunicazione d’Impresa at the Universita Cattaneo in Castellanza.
Dark Play and the Flow Time of Petroculture in Oil-Themed Games
Authors: de Beke Laura op
Published: January 2024

This chapter brings video games into conversation with the study of petrocultures—in particular, concepts that speak to the unique affects and temporalities surrounding oil, namely ‘petromelancholia’ and ‘petromasculinity.’ Using these concepts, this chapter unveils in video games a deep-seated desire for oil and its transgressive pleasures. Oil-themed games can be spaces in which to indulge the pleasures of oil, even while they might also acknowledge its incongruity in the present. Specifically, I will argue that video games accommodate oil within a stretched out, flowing present that resists change and is nostalgically oriented to the past. I call this temporality ‘petroduration.’ Aesthetically and experientially, this temporality manifests as flow, a concept bridging video game studies and petrocultures research.
The Earth’s Prognosis: Doom and Transformation in Game Design
Authors: Stone Kara
Published: January 2024

This chapter describes the design of four games created by the author: Ritual of the Moon (2019), Humaning (2017), the earth is a better person than me (2018), and UnearthU (2022). Each of these games portray aspects of physical and emotional transformation, and the way that transformation may come about through varied connections to the environment fostered primarily through gameplay accessing the player’s imagination. The paper puts together disability studies scholarship with ecocriticism to analyze the common affects of the climate crisis, such as despair, anxiety, and doom through the lens of game creation.
The ‘Greater Delight’: Gardens, Plants, and Flowers and the Tudor and Early Stuart Court
Authors: Henderson Paula
Published: January 2024

This chapter considers how plants and flowers were displayed in gardens and, briefly, within the house. Sources on flowers include contemporary garden books, plant lists, and biographies of plant collectors and gardeners. Yet, there are almost no detailed descriptions of how flowers were arranged in these gardens, whose forms evolved from the largely medieval appearance of early Tudor gardens to the far more classical configuration of the Elizabethan and later periods. In almost all these gardens the framework of the design—the evergreen hedges and hard landscaping—remained dominant throughout the year with flowers filling the gaps. Within the house, cut flowers from the garden beautified and perfumed the interior and served to complement the plethora of decorative floral motifs.
Flowers and Dress: Decorative, Dynastic, and Symbolic
Authors: North Susan
Published: January 2024

Flowers adorned the clothing and jewellery of royal and aristocratic men and women at the Tudor and Stuart courts. The textiles with which clothes were made were not gendered, nor was the ornamentation of fabrics, clothing, accessories, and jewellery, except for armour and weapons, worn exclusively by men but also ornamented with floral motifs. The application of flowers to these media was dictated by technical aspects of weaving, embroidery, and metalwork and they fall into three categories: decorative, dynastic, and symbolic. This chapter explores these aspects of floral embellishment and their interpretation, using examples of surviving garments and jewels, inventories of dress and jewellery, and portraits of the Tudor and Stuart elites.
A Taste for Flowers: Regenerating the Restoration Table
Authors: Lyon-Whaley Susannah
Published: January 2024

During the Civil Wars and Restoration, royalists mobilised flowers to express the ‘politics of abundance’ of the monarch’s reign. This chapter examines an unexplored arena for royalist floral display following the acclaimed cultural and agricultural dearth of the Interregnum: the table. It surveys published recipe books, plate, and paintings to discuss the ways in which flowers in food and eating spaces staged the restored king and his realms as flourishing. Charles II returned from exile in 1660 with a legitimate need to reinvest in the materials of kingship. It argues that flowers importantly reasserted royal identity, acting as sensory bearers of messages reconnecting the body of the king and state that had been severed with the execution of Charles I.
Temple Inscriptions as “Text Acts”
Authors: CHAU 周越 Adam Yuet
Published: January 2024

Certain texts exert their power in the social world not necessarily or simply through their rhetorical/discursive power or artistic beauty but more importantly, through their sheer presence. These texts act upon their audience and produce certain desired effects. These acts of writing and inscribing can be called text acts and their products, textographic fetishes. This writing has been endowed with so much power in China because traditionally, most subjects of the empire were illiterate or marginally literate.

This article presents temple inscriptions of various genres (not just stele inscriptions) from three temple sites in Shaanbei, north-central China. The data were collected during ethnographic field trips in the 1990s and in the summer of 2016.
Catalyzing transformational action for climate change adaptation
Authors: Huet Valentine
Published: January 2024

This chapter deals with adaptation challenges and governance complexities in the context of coastal cities and islands, examining the different views and strategies concerning the Ala Wai Flood Risk Management Project in Honolulu, the economic and political center of Hawaiʻi. It focuses on the political tensions entangling Hawaiʻian residents, activists, politicians and the military engineers involved in the project, detailing the clash between the economic growth and the environmental justice paradigms. Drawing from indigenous Hawaiʻian knowledge, deeply rooted in the history and ecology of the islands, Huet proposes an hybrid paradigm shift through a transformation strategy based on the indigenous Hawaiʻian practice of hoʻoponopono: a healing process to repair past injustices and bring reconciliation through a problem-solving attitude.
Foreword: From Occupy Climate Change! to confronting loss and damage
Authors: Naguib Pellow David
Published: January 2024

David N. Pellow places this volume within the scholarship on climate and environmental justice. Building upon the chapters gathered in this volume, Pellow maintains that the climate crisis should not be reduced to a problem of carbon emissions but framed in terms of a radical transformation of every aspect of society. Pellow, along with the authors of this volume, argues for a repoliticization of the climate crisis, reminding us that the concept of loss and damage, now employed even in international negotiations, is the result of grassroots struggles pointing to the unjust distribution of the effects of climate change. Embracing the urban focus of the volume, Pellow evokes a progressive—perhaps revolutionary—politics that is able to rebuild and repurpose, hack and reimagine the city in ways that facilitate equity, justice, sustainability and regeneration within and beyond the urban centers.
The Use of Information and Communication Technology in Mathematics Education: Does Gender Make a Difference?
Authors: Yuberta Fauzi , Firmanti Pipit
Published: January 2024

Gender equality is a global trend that is a matter for discussion, including in mathematics learning. The ability to use gender-based technology is fundamental to improving the quality of learning. This research aims to describe differences in ICT use strategies by mathematics teachers and differences in students' technology use skills based on gender in mathematics learning. This research is qualitative research with a literature study approach. The indicators for mathematics teachers are viewed from the aspects of the teacher's level of knowledge of ICT, use of technology per hour per day and attitude. Meanwhile, the differences in the ability of male and female students to utilize ICT in learning mathematics can be noticed from the aspects of perception, students' experience and attitudes. The results of the discussion show that mathematics teachers in Indonesia tend to use technology not constructively or only as a learning tool. Female teachers have better strategies or approaches to teaching the integration of technology in mathematics learning while male teachers are more proficient in using or operating digital tools. On the other hand, male students' skills in using technology are better than female students. However, female students can also have the same abilities as males if they have a positive view of integrating technology into mathematics learning.

Baki Zakiroviç Halidov ve “Uçebnik Arabskogo Yazıka” Adlı Arapça Ders Kitabı
Authors: ABDİKHALİKOVA Roza
Published: January 2024

Rusya’nın özellikle XIX. yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, İran, Afganistan ve Orta Asya ülkeleri ile yaptığı savaşlar ve antlaşmalar sebebiyle Arapça konuşulan bölgelerle ilişkilerinin artması, Orta Asya ve Kafkasya’da yaşayan Müslüman nüfusun Arapçaya olan ilgisi, hatta Dağıstan ve Çeçenistan’da Arapçanın İslam dininin resmi dili olarak kabul edilmesi, Rusya’da Arapça öğrenimi ve öğretimine yönelik çabaları daha da önemli hâle getirmiştir.

Rusya’da Arap dili eğitimi, 1807 yılında Doğu Bilimleri Bölümü’nün açılmasıyla başlamıştır. O dönemde Arapça öğretimine dair ana hedefler belirlenirken, iki amaç göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. Birincisi, Arap dünyasında mevcut dil eğitim ve öğretim yöntemlerini tutarlı ve başarılı bir şekilde uygulamak; ikincisi, Rusça konuşan öğrencilere uluslararası standartlar çerçevesinde Arapçayı kolay bir şekilde öğretmektir.

Sovyetler Birliği döneminde Moskova’daki dil fakülteleri sadece Rusların değil, diğer Sovyet cumhuriyetleri halklarının da katkısıyla kurulmuş ve faaliyet göstermiştir. Taşkent Devlet Üniversitesi Doğu Dilleri bölümü de bu katkıyla kurulmuş bir bölüm olup burada diğer Doğu dillerinin yanı sıra Arapça da öğretilmiştir. Dört yıl süren lisans eğitimi ve sonrasındaki yüksek lisans ve doktora programlarının dil öğretiminde hem Rus hem de Arap yazarların yazdığı ders kitapları kullanılmıştır. Rus dil bilimcileri kendilerine özgü ders yöntemleri ortaya koymuş, Arap dili gramerine dair eserler ve sözlükler kaleme almışlardır.

Bu makalede öncelikle erken dönemden itibaren Rusya’da Arap dili ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalar üzerinde durulmuş; daha sonra Sovyetler Birliği döneminde Arap dilinin öğretimine katkı sağlayan Tatar ilim adamı Baki Zakiroviç Halidov’un biyografisine yer verilmiştir. Ardından Halidov’un Ruslara yönelik olarak Arapça dil öğretimi konusunda uyguladığı metoda değinilerek yüksek öğrenim kurumlarında Arapça öğretimi için hazırladığı “Uchebnik Arabskogo Yazıka” adlı eser incelenmiştir. Söz konusu eser, içerik ve yöntem açısından değerlendirilmiştir.

Predicting dominant terrestrial biomes at a global scale using machine learning algorithms, climate variable indices, and extreme climate indices
Authors: Sato Hisashi
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Several methods have been proposed for modelling global biome distribution. Climate data are typically summarised in terms of a few climate indices. However, with the recent advancement of machine learning algorithms, such summarisation is no longer required. Extreme climate events such as intense droughts and very low temperatures cannot be captured by monthly mean climate data, which may limit the applicability of biome boundaries. In this study, I assessed the influences of machine learning algorithms, climate variable indices, and extreme climate indices on the accuracy and robustness of global biome modelling. I found that the random forest and convolutional neural network algorithms produced highly accurate models for reconstructing the global biome distribution. However, the convolutional neural network algorithm was preferable, because the random forest algorithm substantially overfit the training data relative to the other machine learning algorithms examined. Including indexed climate data slightly reduced model accuracy, whereas including extreme climate data slightly improved it. However, there were significant deviations in the distribution of values between the observed and predicted climate when extreme climate data was included; this fatally reduced the robustness of the models, which were evaluated in terms of prediction consistency. Therefore, I recommend that extreme climate data not be considered in global-scale biome prediction applications.
Revolutionizing Hailstone Analysis: Exploring Non-Soluble Particles through Innovative Confocal Laser and Scanning Electron Microscopy Techniques
Authors: Bernal Ayala Anthony C. , Rowe Angela K. , Arena Lucia E. , Nachlas Will O. , Asar Maria L.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. This paper introduces an innovative microscopy analysis methodology to preserve in situ non-soluble particles within hailstones using a protective porous plastic coating, overcoming previous limitations related to melting the hailstone sample. The method is composed of two techniques: trapping non-soluble particles beneath a plastic coat by using the adapted sublimation technique and then analyzing the particles individually with both Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). CLSM provides insights into physical attributes like particle size and surface topography, enhancing understanding of ice nucleation. SEM-EDS complements CLSM by offering detailed information on individual particle elemental chemistry, enabling classification based on composition. Strategies to reduce background noise from glass substrates during EDS spectral analysis are proposed. By combining powerful, high resolution microscopy techniques, this methodology provides valuable data on hailstone composition and properties. This information can give insights into hail developmental processes by enhancing our understanding of the role of atmospheric particles.
Relations between cyclones and ozone changes in the Arctic using data from satellite instruments and the MOSAiC ship campaign
Authors: Monsees Falco , Rozanov Alexei , Burrows John P. , Weber Mark , Rinke Annette , Jaiser Ralf , von der Gathen Peter
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Large-scale meteorologic events (e.g. cyclones), referred to as synoptic events, strongly influence weather predictability but still cannot be fully characterised in the Arctic region because of the sparse coverage of measurements. Due to the fact that atmospheric dynamics in the lower stratosphere and troposphere influence the ozone field, an approach to analyse these events further is the use of space-borne measurements of ozone vertical distributions and total columns. In this study we investigate the link between cyclones and changes in stratospheric ozone by using a combination of unique measurements during the MOSAiC ship expedition, ozone profile and total column observations by satellite instruments (OMPS-LP, TROPOMI), and ERA5 reanalysis data. Three special cases during the MOSAiC expedition were selected and classified for the analysis. They consist of one 'normal' cyclone, where a low surface pressure coincides with a minimum in tropopause height, and two 'untypical' cyclones, where this is not observed. The influence of cyclone events on ozone in the upper-troposphere lower-stratosphere (UTLS) region was investigated, using the fact that both are correlated with tropopause height changes. The negative correlation between tropopause height from ERA5 and ozone columns was investigated in the Arctic region for the three-month period from June to August 2020. This was done using total ozone columns and subcolumns from TROPOMI, OMPS-LP and MOSAiC ozonesonde data. The greatest influence of tropopause height changes on ozone contour levels occurs at an altitude between 10 and 20 km. Moreover, the lowering of the 250 ppb ozonopause (about 11 km altitude) below 9 km was used to identify and track cyclones using OMPS-LP ozone observations. The potential of this approach was demonstrated in two case studies where the boundaries of cyclones could be determined using ozone observations. The results of this study can help improve our understanding of the relationship between cyclones, tropopause height, and ozone in the Arctic and demonstrate the usability of satellite ozone data for investigating cyclones in the Arctic.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. To effectively monitor the highly heterogeneous urban CO2 emissions using atmospheric observations, there is a need to deploy cost-effective CO2 sensors at multiple locations within the city with sufficient accuracy to capture the concentration gradients in urban environments. Its measurements could be used as input of an atmospheric inversion system for the quantification of emissions at the sub-city scale or separate specific sectors. Such quantification would offer valuable insights into the efficacy of local initiatives and could also identify unknown emission hotspots that require attention. Here we present the development and evaluation of a mid-cost CO2 instrument designed for continuous monitoring of atmospheric CO2 concentrations with a target accuracy of 1 ppm on hourly mean measurement. We assess the sensor sensitivity in relation to environmental factors such as humidity, pressure, temperature and CO2 signal, which leads to the development of an effective calibration algorithm. Since July 2020, eight mid-cost instruments have been installed within the city of Paris and its vicinity to provide continuous CO2 measurements, complementing the seven high-precision Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) stations that have been in operation since 2016. A data processing system, called CO2calqual, has been implemented to automatically handle data quality control, calibration and storage, which enables the management of extensive real-time CO2 measurements from the monitoring network. Colocation assessments with the high-precision instrument show that the accuracies of the eight mid-cost instruments are within the range of 1.0 to 2.4 ppm for hourly afternoon (12–17 UTC) measurements. The long-term stability issues require manual data checks and instrument maintenance. The analyses show that CO2 measurements can provide evidence for underestimations of CO2 emissions in the Paris region and a lack of several emission point sources in the emission inventory. Our study demonstrates promising prospects in integrating mid-cost measurements along with high precision data into the subsequent atmospheric inverse modeling to improve the accuracy of quantifying the fine-scale CO2 emissions in the Paris metropolitan area.
Individual Flood Risk Adaptation in Germany: Exploring the Role of Different Types of Flooding
Authors: Dillenardt Lisa , Thieken Annegret H.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Whether and how flood-affected people prepare for flooding is commonly assumed to depend on their perception of the risk, coping options, and responsibilities. Furthermore, the influence of different flood types, i.e., fluvial, flash, and urban pluvial floods, is unclear, but might be relevant for effective risk communication. Up to now, risk communication has mainly addressed fluvial flooding situations. We use survey data from more than 3000 households affected by different types of flooding in Germany to investigate the influence of flood type on adaptive behaviour in addition to other influencing factors. We use descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and single-factor ANOVA to identify differences and similarities between respondents. We use linear regressions to identify factors that influence households’ adaptive behaviour in the context of fluvial, pluvial, and flash flooding. We found that most respondents were motivated to protect themselves, but that there were flood type-specific differences in the factors influencing an adaptive response. For example, those affected by fluvial events had most often implemented measures before the last flooding and had experienced flooding before, but frequently showed signs of emotional coping and were less likely to implement (more) measures. In contrast, those affected by flash flooding showed less confidence in the effectiveness of measures, but were less likely to rate their costs as too high and were most likely to implement measures after the event. We argue that, inter alia, the severity of the flood processes, the experiences of previous flooding, and the management of flooding all shape adaptive behaviour. Regardless of the type of flooding, the perception of the effectiveness of adaptive measures and a positive perception of personal responsibility were found to be crucial for motivating those affected to protect themselves. Further analyses suggest that these two key elements can be strengthened by offering financial support for adaptive measures. We also found that communication on a municipality level enhances residents’ sense of personal responsibility. We conclude that communication and management strategies need to involve municipalities and should be tailored to the locally relevant flood type.

Abstract. Ongoing innovation in next generation fluxgate magnetometry is important for enabling future investigations of space plasma, especially multi-spacecraft experimental studies of energy transport in the magnetosphere and the solar wind. Demonstrating the spaceflight capability of novel designs is an important step in the instrument development process; however, large-scale satellite missions are often unwilling to accept the risks of an instrument without flight heritage. The Tesseract – a novel fluxgate magnetometer sensor design-had an opportunity for an inaugural spaceflight demonstration on the ACES-II sounding rocket mission, which launched from Andøya Space Center in Andenes, Norway, in November 2022. Tesseract’s design takes advantage of a new racetrack core geometry to create a sensor that addresses some of the issues that contribute to instability in more traditional ring core designs. Here we present the design of a prototype fluxgate magnetometer based on the new Tesseract sensor, its preflight characteristics, and an evaluation of its inflight performance aboard ACES-II. We find that the magnetic field measured by Tesseract over the course of the flight was in strong agreement with both the onboard ACES II reference ring core fluxgate magnetometer and the predictions of a geomagnetic field model. The Tesseract based magnetometer measured signatures of field aligned currents and potential Alfvén wave activity as it crossed an active auroral arc, we conclude that it performed as expected. Tesseract will be flown on the TRACERS Small Explorers (SMEX) satellite mission as part of the MAGIC technology demonstration currently scheduled to launch in 2025.
Discussion Formats for Addressing Emotions: Implications for Social-Emotional Learning
Authors: Hakim Eran , Lefstein Adam , Netz Hadar
Published: January 2024

Scholars of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) advocate discussion as a promising instructional method yet rarely specify how such discussions should be conducted. Facilitating classroom discussions is highly challenging, particularly about emotions. Furthermore, the SEL literature contains contradictory discursive imperatives; it typically overlooks the gaps between students’ and teachers’ emotional codes and how these codes are shaped by culture, class, and gender. The current study explores different ways in which teachers facilitate classroom dialogue about emotions. We analyze data drawn from a two-year ethnographic study conducted as part of a design-based implementation research project aimed at fostering productive dialogue in primary language arts classrooms, looking in particular at two lessons centered around a story about crying. We found two different interactional genres for discussions about emotions: (1) inclusive emotional dialogue, in which students share emotions experienced in their everyday lives; (2) emotional inquiry, in which students explore emotions, their expressions, and their social meanings. Both types of discussion generated informative exchanges about students’ emotions. Yet the discussions also put the teacher and students in challenging positions, often related to the need to navigate between contradictory discursive norms and emotional codes.

The beginning of the Armenian printed book is a new era for Armenian writing and literature. It has completely inherited all the traditions of manuscripts. Remember that throughout the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, printed and handwritten literature coexisted and served the public. Ancient books, like manuscripts, have handwritten remarks by historical masters, library inventory numbers, and other different kinds of notes in the margins, on free pages. Seals hold equal significance to these. In addition to being a unique source for printing, the compilation of handwritten and library notes found in the National Library’s ancient books is also an excellent source for research on history in general, and culture history in particular.
Effects of Percussive Massage Treatments on Symptoms Associated with Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
Authors: Roberts Trevor D. , Costa Pablo B. , Lynn Scott K. , Coburn Jared W.
Published: January 2024

Percussive massage (PM) is an emerging recovery treatment despite the lack of research on its effects post-eccentric exercise (post-EE). This study investigated the effects of PM treatments (immediately, 24, 48, and 72 h post-EE) on the maximal isometric torque (MIT), range of motion (ROM), and an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) of soreness of the nondominant arm's biceps brachii from 24-72 h post-EE. Seventeen untrained, college-aged subjects performed 60 eccentric elbow flexion actions with their nondominant arms. Nine received 1 minute of PM, versus eight who rested quietly (control [CON]). In order, NRS, ROM, and MIT (relative to body mass) were collected pre-eccentric exercise (pre-EE) and after treatment (AT) at 24, 48, and 72 h post-EE. NRS was also collected before treatment (BT). Electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) amplitudes were collected during the MIT and normalized to pre-EE. There were no interactions for MIT, EMG, or MMG, but there were interactions for ROM and NRS. For ROM, the PM group had higher values than the CON 24-72 h by ~6-8°, a faster return to pre-EE (PM: 48 h, CON: 72 h), and exceeded their pre-EE at 72 h by ~4°. The groups’ NRS values did not differ BT 24-72 h; however, the PM group lowered their NRS from BT to AT within every visit by ~1 point per visit, which resulted in them having lower values than the CON from 24-72 h by ~2-3 points. Additionally, the PM group returned their NRS to pre-EE faster than the CON (PM: BT 72 h, CON: never). In conclusion, PM treatments may improve ROM without affecting isometric strength or muscle activation 24-72 h post-EE. Although the PM treatments did not enhance the recovery from delayed onset muscle soreness until 72 h, they consistently provided immediate, temporary relief when used 24-72 h post-EE.

New policies in education are usually created when the current state of education and its contents, i.e. its contexts, are disrupted by a problem, a political decision or a restructuring plan. Policy options can be created in several different ways to adapt to the imbalance. The success of education policy depends on the creation of clear goals. If there are multiple goals, they must be consistent with each other. When conditions change, it should be flexible enough to be able to change them as well. While defining problems and goals in education, policy options should be formulated and evaluated. In many cases, more than one solution can be considered for policy adaptation. Goals can be achieved in many different ways. Best practices from other decision-making circles can be taken into account, and there may be a need to take into account all other possible solutions. By evaluating the options, it may be possible to determine the best one that meets the goals created. Even if the policy is implemented, these types of evaluation are expressed as predicted in advance, since their results are evaluated in advance. Educational policy options can be evaluated if alternative scenarios are developed that allow estimating the possible applications of noteworthy options. The imaginary situation that will be created when policy options are implemented is compared with the real situation, and the transition scenario of the existing imaginary situation can be evaluated in terms of willingness, affordability and applicability. The next stage after evaluating education policy options is decision-making. One of the most important functions in public administration and the public policy process is decision-making. Individuals or institutions have to make decisions in order to ensure their continuity. Decision-making should not be understood as simply doing something or taking a step. Sometimes not doing anything or not taking steps is also making a decision. Key Words: Education Policy, Restructuring, Planning Methods
