The German Connection
Authors: Epstein Louis
Published: February 2020

In 1930 the French composer Darius Milhaud achieved a major career milestone: his ambitious opera Christophe Colomb received its premiere at Berlin’s Staatsoper Unter den Linden. The premiere was the most prestigious of a surprisingly large number of performances of Milhaud’s music in Germany in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Even as he found success in Germany, many French critics dismissed Milhaud’s music as frivolous or incomprehensible, and in 1930 the Paris Opéra had yet to stage one of Milhaud’s works. In the wake of the Berlin premiere, however, the specter of German cultural dominance provoked calls in Paris for reevaluation of Milhaud’s work. In response, the director of the Paris Opéra, Jacques Rouché, quickly secured the right to stage Milhaud’s next opera, Maximilien, and Milhaud subsequently received a string of state commissions. After years of struggle with French critics and institutions, Milhaud’s success abroad finally precipitated official recognition at home.

Milhaud owed his popularity in Germany and the subsequent transformation in his French reception to his relationship with the Viennese music publisher Universal Edition. Unpublished correspondence and contracts reveal how the firm orchestrated Milhaud’s success in Germany through a network of affiliated conductors, composers, and institutions. Universal Edition and its director, Emil Hertzka, played crucial but largely unrecognized roles in advancing Milhaud’s early career, and Milhaud’s letters demonstrate his keen appreciation for the advantages that working with Universal brought, both to his finances and to his international reputation. The transnational collaboration that enabled Milhaud’s German reception and facilitated his path to official recognition ultimately offers a thought-provoking counterexample to the historiography of chauvinism and antipathy that otherwise dominates narratives of interwar Franco-German musical relations.
Pequot Warriors Combating Paper Genocide: How the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation Uses Education to Resist Cultural Erasure
Authors: Nguyễn Lan-Húóng , Tribal Nation Eastern Pequot
Published: February 2020

This paper analyzes the southeastern Connecticut Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation’s battle with cultural erasure and resistance through education. Indigenous education programs are gradual yet the most effective method of resisting Western cultural erasure from the United States government, because they peacefully invite both Natives and non-Natives to learn about Native American history outside of European colonizer textbooks. The Tribe battles the erasure that can result from external parties’ ability to grant state or federal titles recognizing tribal authority (known as recognition titles) to determine who receives the powerful stamp of Indigeneity and the right to self- govern. My case study focuses on the Eastern Pequots Archaeology Field School project in collaboration with University of Massachusetts, Boston. I evaluate how the Eastern Pequots use a collaborative archaeology education program with their Tribal members and non-Native individuals to resist erasure by decolonizing Western pedagogy. The Field School has gathered over 99,000 artifacts over 15 seasons that dismantle common misconceptions of how Native Americans lived during the beginning of the United States’ history and redefine modern beliefs about how Natives survived European colonization. The Field School contributes to expanding brief descriptions of Native history into a more complicated and dynamic story that elaborates on Native struggle, survival and resistance.
Reclaiming Public Spaces in the Informal Economy: Migrant Mothers who Defy Gender Traditions in Cochabamba, Bolivia
Authors: Giacalone Margaret
Published: February 2020

In the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, mothers from the campo have become the engine of the Bolivian economy and leaders in their communities. The issue: they work in the informal sector, which is disapproved by the government and general population. Families from the countryside have lost their homes and traditional means of living as a product of policies in favor of foreign competition. Mothers have become the leaders of their homes and found jobs in the city that have further burdened their role responsibilities. Since there are few safe work opportunities that support indigenous migrant mothers’ maternal identities, they create their own jobs in spaces traditionally dominated by machista values. Despite intersecting obstacles of gender, class and race, mothers are resilient and capable of redefining spaces and reframing narratives of their motherhood. Drawing on ethnographic data, this article depicts how migrant mothers achieve empowerment, survival and control of their identities thanks to the agency they have found in traditional employment, entrepreneurship and cooperative entrepreneurship within the informal sector, as well as support from non-governmental organizations.

Authors: Bergmann Kelly R. , Abuzzahab M. Jennifer , Arms Joe , Cutler Gretchen , Vander Velden Heidi , Simper Ted , Christensen Eric , Watson Dave , Kharbanda Anupam
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Children with established type 1 diabetes (T1D) who present to the emergency department (ED) with mild diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are often hospitalized, although outpatient management may be appropriate. Our aim was to reduce hospitalization rates for children with established T1D presenting to our ED with mild DKA who were considered low risk for progression of illness.

METHODS:

We conducted a quality improvement initiative between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2018 among children and young adults ≤21 years of age with established T1D presenting to our tertiary care ED with low-risk DKA. Children transferred to our institution were excluded. DKA severity was classified as low, medium, or high risk on the basis of laboratory and clinical criteria. Our quality improvement initiative consisted of development and implementation of an evidence-based treatment guideline after review by a multidisciplinary team. Our primary outcome was hospitalization rate, and our balancing measure was 3-day ED revisits. Statistical process control methods were used to evaluate outcome changes.

RESULTS:

We identified 165 patients presenting with low-risk DKA. The baseline preimplementation hospitalization rate was 74% (95% confidence interval 64%–82%), and after implementation, this decreased to 55% (95% confidence interval 42%–67%) (−19%; P = .011). The postimplementation hospitalization rate revealed special cause variation. One patient in the postimplementation period returned to the ED within 3 days but did not have DKA and was not hospitalized.

CONCLUSIONS:

Hospitalization rates for children and young adults presenting to the ED with low-risk DKA can be safely reduced without an increase in ED revisits.

Published: February 2020

Study on the population dynamic of endeavour shrimp (Metapenaus ensis) was conducted in Binuangeun waters based on data collected during period of survey, January to November 2016. The purpose of the study was to identify population parameters of the endeavour shrimp. Result showed that the endeavor shrimp growth pattern in Binuangeun waters was negative allometric and sex ratio of males and females was 1.0 : 2.7. The chi square test indicated that comparison of male and female of the endeavour shrimp was significantly different. It mean that there was imbalance in number between males and females. The length at first capture (Lc) of endeavour shrimp was 28.9 mm (carapace length),smaller than the length at first maturity (Lm) at 37.7 mm (carapace length). The growth parameter of endeavour shrimp was 1.33/year with maximum carapace length (Loo) of 51.45 mm. Instantenous total mortality (Z) and natural mortality (M) were 7.74/year and 1.88/year, respectively. While fishing mortality (F) and exploitation rate (E) respectively were 5.86/year and 0.76/year. The exploitation rate of endeavour shrimp in Binuangeun and adjacent waters was high. It was, therefore, recommended that fishing effort of the endeavour shrimp in that waters should be reduced about 52 % in the next year.
CHARACTERISTIC OF SMALL SCALE TUNA FISHERIES ASSOCIATED WITH FADs IN LABUHAN LOMBOK, WEST NUSA TENGGARA-INDONESIA
Authors: Rochman Fathur , Jatmiko Irwan , Fahmi Zulkarnaen
Published: February 2020

Fish aggregating devices, or FADs are used extensively in developing countries to attract and to collect pelagic fish and give positive impacts on fish production. Use of FADs has started in early 20th century with different names among the countries and regions. This study investigated the design, deployment, distribution, density and the number of FADs used by small scale tuna fisherman in Labuhan Lombok, including characteristics of fishing boat, fishing gear, catch composition, catch per unit of effort (CPUE), fish diversity and species richness. There were 65 FADs identified in this study and 47 of them were in normal distribution. Type of the FADs used was anchored FADs, spreading between 56.63 to 267.70 NM from Labuhan Lombok fishing port. The placement of FADs were arranged in such a way as to resemble a fence, in which the distance from one to another was close. It is expected to disrupt tuna movement towards the strait in the small islands around West Nusa Tenggara. The dimensional size of vessels used to catch fish was small boat (< 7 GT) with handline as fishing gears. Fish catches were dominated by skipjack (40.30%) followed by yellowfin tuna (30.90%), tuna juvenile (13.44%), frigate tuna (4.19%), albacore (3.41%), bigeye tuna (2.71%) and others (5.03%). The highest nominal CPUE occurred in January and February, accounted for 278 kg and 285 kg per day at sea respectively. The average diversity of fish and species richness in FADs area were 1.07674 and 1.3573 correspondingly. Overall results inform that diversity of fish, productivity and ecosystem were at sufficient condition and mid ecological pressure but species richness was in low condition. If this continues, it is possible that tuna diversity will decrease and endanger the survival of tuna species and others species related to the tuna.

Published: February 2020

Pangasiid catfishes is an economic important catfish family for fishery. Nowadays, three species, Pangasius hypophtahlmus, P. boucorti, and P. djambal, are used in aquaculture. Among the genera in Pangasiidae, Helicophagus was less studied. Although this genus was less preferred than other popular species in Pangasiidae, it still has high commercial price. The present study was conducted to clarify the differences of the exist species in the genus Helicophagus based on biometric analyses. Twenty six specimens, collected from represent rivers in Southeast Asia, used for the material examined. Several type specimens deposited in museums were also added in the analyses. Thirty five characters were designed for measurement on the unique body conformation. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to distinguish different species and found strong characters for key identification and description. The results presented the data and information on the diagnosis, description, distribution, and ecology of each species. Key identification of each species are given. The three species (Helicophagus typus, H. waandersii, and H. leptorhynchus) enabled to show their differences based on eye diameter and vomerine toothplate length.
Математичне моделювання динамічних режимів процесу ректифікації при застосуванні рухливих керуючих впливів
Authors: Шейкус А. Р.
Published: February 2020

Підвищення якості керування об'єктами з розподіленими параметрами, до яких відноситься процес ректифікації, можливо досягти використанням рухливих впливів. Відомо, що переміщення за висотою колони точки подання живлення або перерозподіл даного потоку між двома контактними пристроями апарату дозволяє забезпечити недосяжні традиційним керуванням техніко-економічні показники стаціонарних режимів. При цьому перехідні процеси в колоні при використанні рухливих впливів залишалися недослідженими. У статті розроблено математичну модель динаміки процесу ректифікації, що враховує рухливі керуючі впливи, а також досліджено особливості динамічних режимів роботи колони при їх використанні. В моделі передбачено можливість реалізації різних за формами і інтенсивностями збурень і керуючих впливів за декількома каналами одночасно або у визначені моменти часу. Модель дозволяє проводити розрахунки процесів багатокомпонентної і складної ректифікації, може використовуватися при моделюванні пускових режимів. Процес ректифікації внаслідок використання рухливих впливів виходить зі стану динамічної рівноваги. Встановлено, що новий стаціонарний режим досягається регулюванням тиску наверху колони, рівнів в ємностях для збору кубового залишку і дистиляту. Запропоновано використання ПІД-регуляторів з впливами на витрати холодоагенту в конденсатор і продуктів поділу. Динамічна модель процесу доповнена описом даних контурів автоматичного регулювання. З використанням розробленої моделі проведено обчислювальні експерименти на прикладі колони для поділу суміші метанол-вода. Доведено, що перехідні процеси при використанні рухливих керуючих впливів на процес ректифікації характеризуються допустимими показниками якості.
Дослідження процесів утилізації тепла пароповітряних сумішей: імітаційне моделювання
Authors: Ковальчук Д. А. , Мазур О. В.
Published: February 2020

Розглянуті основні підходи до розробки імітаційних моделей, освітлені їх недоліки та переваги.  Розглянута імітаційна модель процесу глибокої утилізації тепла пароповітряних сумішей з використанням парокомпресійного теплового насосу, до складу якої входять імітаційні моделі компресора, конденсатора, електронного розширювального вентиля, випарника, переохолоджувача та контактного теплообмінника – утилізатора тепла пароповітряних сумішей. Імітаційні моделі цих складових побудовані з використанням експериментальних даних, отриманих авторами в результаті виконання фізичних натурних експериментів на лабораторній дослідній установці. В імітаційній моделі випарника теплового насосу реалізовано функцію розрахунку «баластної» та «ефективної» витрати холодоагенту. «Баластна»  витрата виникає за рахунок переохолодження холодоагенту до температури кипіння і супроводжується випаровуванням його частки, яка не приймає участі у відборі тепла випарником. Для цього до імітаційної моделі випарника була додана підсистема розрахунку перепаду температур кипіння (тиску) по довжині випарника в залежності від витрати холодоагенту та температурного напору у випарнику, що  враховує довжину ділянки випарника на якій відбувається кипіння рідкої фази. Залежність перепаду тиску по довжині випарника від витрат холодоагенту через нього є не монотонно зростаючою функцією а має екстремум і спадає при рівнях перегріва холодоагенту від 15 до 0 °С. Тиск на виході випарника розраховується в моделі з використанням нелінійної функції двох змінних – положення електронного розширювального вентиля  та частоти обертання компресора. Динамічні властивості каналів  моделюються  ланками, передатні функції яких були отримані в результаті фізичних експериментів. Проведена перевірка розробленої імітаційної моделі на адекватність, для чого було організовано ряд комп’ютерних експериментів з умовами, аналогічними умовам проведення натурних фізичних експериментів. Порівняння результатів моделювання та фізичного експерименту показало високу ступінь їх схожості.
Verbalisation of the image of man in the English and Lak languages
Authors: Abakarova Mariana
Published: February 2020

The article analyses English and Lak proverbs describing a man. Proverbs have been chosen as a material of study due to the fact that they are the entities revealing the mentality of a certain ethnic group. The author was compelled to conduct this study owing to the current lack of research in the area of Lak proverbs. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time it has provided a psychological portrait of a man on the basis of the English and Lak languages. Isolated geographical position of Lak and English people was the cause of their inclination for conservative way of life which resulted in the formation of certain stereotypes of a Lak and an Englishman. The aim of the author was to discover those stereotypes by means of detecting universal and specific traits of Lak and English people.

To reach that aim the author grouped the proverbs in thematic layers and provided them with linguocultural commentary. The image of man consists of such characteristics as reliability or unreliability, reserve or verbosity, valiancy or cowardice, ability or inability to fight, patience or impatience and love of food. The analysis showed that the ideal man in both Lak and English culture is the one who is patient, restrained and able to defend himself and his family, including the situation on the battlefield. The difference between the Lak and the English appeared in the degree of man’s readiness to fight. For the Laks whose life in the past was passing between wars the key factor was their ability to wage war while the English are more reserved and cautious in their actions.

The impacts of temperature,
water activity and their interactions on the growth rate and ochratoxin A (OTA)
production by three Aspergillus
carbonarius isolates obtained from dried figs in Agean Region of Turkey
were investigated on Czapek yeast extract agar. The maximum specific radial
growth rates at each set of conditions were obtained by using the primary model
of Baranyi. Correlation coefficients were varied between 96% and 99%. Optimum
growth of all isolates was at 30°C and 0.97 aw while optimum OTA
production was observed at 15 - 20°C and 0.97 - 0.99 aw depending on
the isolate. The assayed isolates showed varying abilities in growth rate and
OTA production capacities as reported in the literature. The estimated optimum
temperature and water activity values for growth and OTA production were in
accordance with reported results for grape isolates. Temperature, water
activity and their interactions significantly influenced the growth rate and
ochratoxin A production by all tested isolates (P <0.05).
Design and Implementation of a Step-Up Power Converter for Renewable Resource Application
Authors: GHADERİ Davood
Published: February 2020

Renewable
energy sources including photovoltaic panels, wind turbines and fuel cells
widely are spreading. Among all the renewable energy sources, solar power
generation system tops the list. The first choice is the boost converter when
the voltage step up is the issue. But the most important subject is applying an
efficient structure with high gain, cheap and quick controller circuit. Our
proposed modified boost converter (MBC) is one of such converter which consists
of several cheap components such as diode, inductor, capacitor and power
switch, which has same switching frequency and phase shift in comparison with
conventional boost converters. The voltage gain of the proposed structure is
very high in comparison with conventional boost converter and by forming a
preamplifier layer, for a duty cycle of 80% by adding only two diodes, one
inductor, and one capacitor, voltage gain is increased by 5 times compared to
the classic boost converter. The proposed method provides the increased output
voltage along with duty cycle and voltage gain reaches to 10 times in
comparison with classic boost structure. The projected strategy has been
verified with the help of MATLAB/SIMULINK. Also, a hardware implementation of
proposed MBC has been done in a laboratory scale around 100W.
Comparative Study about Differently Structured Transitional Metal Molybdates as Negative Electrodes for LIBs
Authors: KARAHAN Billur Deniz
Published: February 2020

The nanostructured
materials represent the center of fundamental advances to design new era
electrodes for high energy density batteries. Especially, one-dimensional
nanomaterials are recognized as a solution due to their large surface area,
short diffusion distance and high volume accommodation ability. In this sense,
first in literature a comparative study has been done to examine the
electrochemical performances of differently fabricated transition metal oxide molybdate
powders: lithium storage capabilities of nickel-cobalt-molybdate composite is
compared to that of the cobalt oxide decorated nickel molybdate powders. To
measure the effect of cobalt atom, bare nickel molybdate powders have been also
fabricated and tested. The lithiation mechanism of these electrodes are
discussed based on the cyclic voltammetry curvatures and the SEI layer
formation on the electrodes and the electrode/electrolyte stability upon
cycling are analyzed following the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy test
results (after 1st,2nd and 4th cycles). The outcome of characterizations reveal
that the addition of cobalt changes the powder morphology and improves the
electrochemical performance of the electrode. Among three samples, the cobalt oxide
decorated nickel molybdate performs higher retention and rate performance since
the top layer promotes more stable electrode/electrolyte interface providing a
capacity of 290 mAh/g after 100 cycles. The rate performance of the sample is
also found promising, the electrode delivers 200 mAh/g even at 400mA/g rate.

Contribuições da Linguística Cognitiva para o estudo de línguas de sinais
Authors: Nunes Valeria Fernandes
Published: February 2020

Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa, foram analisados dois sinais - APRENDER/ESQUECER - em sete línguas de sinais (Língua Brasileira de Sinais, Língua de Sinais Francesa, Língua de Sinais Americana, Língua Gestual Portuguesa, Língua de Sinais Sueca, Língua de Sinais Chinesa e Língua de Sinais Japonesa), totalizando um estudo de catorze sinais. Os sinais foram extraídos do instrumento linguístico internacional “Spread the Sign Web Dictionary - SWD”, produto do Centro Europeu de Língua de Sinais, em Örebro, na Suécia, desenvolvido pela Universidade de Örebro. Para a análise, também realizamos entrevista com o professor sueco Thomas Lydell-Olsen, coordenador do SWD. O problema principal é compreender se sinais em línguas de sinais apresentam relações icônicas motivadas por processos linguístico-cognitivos. Para isso, analisam-se como sinais podem estar atrelados à corporificação, à metáfora, à metonímia e aos esquemas imagéticos. Resultados preliminares apontam que a relação com o corpo (corporificação) tem sido mantida favorecendo a iconicidade cognitiva. Dessa forma, o desenvolvimento deste estudo proporciona um saber metalingüístico, promovendo análise linguística e valorização das línguas de sinais.

A literatura como instrumento mobilizador de um aprendizado escolar empírico e autônomo. Um estudo entre Brasil e Portugal.
Authors: Debus Jose Carlos Dos Santos , Balça Ângela Maria
Published: February 2020

Este texto refere-se a um projeto de pesquisa de pós-doutoramento realizado junto ao Instituto de Investigação e Formação Avançada da Universidade de Évora em Portugal no ano de 2018. Nosso objetivo é analisar a produção ficcional contemporânea do Brasil e de Portugal que inclui obras de natureza literária escritas para a infância que, em nosso entendimento, possam atuar como um aparato mobilizador de educação moral, científica e artística. O referencial teórico dialoga com o campo da educação e da literatura buscando uma concepção de educação escolar emancipadora amparada nos estudos de Freire (2006), Rancière (2007) e Cândido (1988). Nosso olhar procurou obras que possibilitassem uma combinação de qualidade no texto e na ilustração dentro de uma perspectiva de arte literária e que não estivesse condicionada por uma estrutura dogmática. Percebemos nesse percurso que o mundo da literatura estimula todas as formas de comunicação se colocando como um espaço de reflexão, de ação e de transformação a partir do confronto entre o conteúdo maravilhoso e o conteúdo “real”.
Dificuldades de compreensão leitora em estudantes concluintes do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Bender de Sousa Lucilene , Hübner Lilian Cristine
Published: February 2020

O ensino e a aprendizagem da leitura são temas constantemente debatidos, especialmente nas séries iniciais. Entretanto, observa-se que mesmo após oito anos de educação formal, há um percentual considerável de estudantes que saem da escola com dificuldades de compreensão leitora. Neste estudo, objetivamos identificar esses estudantes e investigar as suas dificuldades, comparando-os com bons leitores da mesma escolaridade. Para isso, realizamos o processo de seleção dos grupos e, posteriormente, examinamos seus desempenhos em duas tarefas: leitura de palavra isolada e compreensão leitora. Ao final do processo de seleção, identificamos 14% de bons leitores e 11% de leitores com dificuldades de compreensão. Os grupos mostraram diferença significativa no desempenho de palavras irregulares e pseudopalavras, assim como no desempenho em questões literais e inferenciais. Os resultados sugerem que os leitores com dificuldades de compreensão ainda apresentam fragilidades tanto em processos mais básicos quanto mais complexos da leitura.

The Digitization of Criminal Policy as a Tool of Overcoming its Unsystematicity
Authors: Maksimov Sergey , Vasin Yury , Valuyskov Nikolai , Utarov Kanat
Published: February 2020

The authors examine the necessity and relevance of using mathematical models for the digitization of criminal policy while simultaneously taking into account the results of qualitative analysis of the criminogenic situation (theoretical modeling) and using probabilistic prediction models of crime counteraction results (empirical modeling). They determine the chronological matrix of key criminogenic events of modern Russian political and economic history, which forms the basis for developing a mathematical model of predicting changes in the criminal policy. The authors conclude that contemporary criminal policy contains objective signs of manipulative character and that criminal policy decisions cannot be based on it exclusively. It is noted that the presented prediction models based on the theory of relativity allow to make verifiable quantitative evaluations of the situation in counteracting negative socio-legal phenomena and to take into account not only the latent component of these phenomena, but also the differences caused by changes in their criminal law assessment. The presented approach could be used to build a triplex system of official monitoring of criminogenic situation at the federal and regional levels based on the collection, analysis, assessment and prediction of information on criminality from three sources: criminal statistics, public opinion polls’ results, expert polls’ results. According to the authors, the creation of this system is a mandatory prerequisite for the transition from a dominantly repressive model of crime counteraction (typical for most contemporary states) to the preventive model. As the probable effectiveness of preventive model of crime counteraction could be first calculated on the basis of planned expenses and available resources and then compared with the actually achieved effectiveness of such counteraction, the state and the society could gain a considerably more effective instrument of controlling the criminal policy’s quality in comparison with the one used today, which will make it possible to ensure a gradual transition from the high cost criminal policy implemented through trial and error to the digital criminal policy based on the results of preliminary and verified calculations.

Globalization has considerably extended the area of criminal activities, it can no longer be contained within the national boundaries of one state. Crime bosses freely travel between countries and may solve the problems of their gangs’ cooperation far from the place where the criminal activity takes place. The gangs today have moved away from typical criminal practices. Business is becoming their key activity as it facilitates the organization of criminal groups not only in the shadow, but also in the legal economy. Thus, the main focus of crime counteraction should be the bosses of organized crime. Based on this position, the authors provide a theoretical basis for the introduction of Art. 210.1 in the Criminal Law of Russia — taking the highest position in the criminal hierarchy. They analyze the legal construction of this offence which, in essence, is inchoate. The authors also assess the grounds for criminalizing the very fact of occupying the highest position in a criminal hierarchy. It is proven that this status of a crime boss emerges at an advanced stage of development of the organized group, so the form of crime organization could act as a criterion for the establishment of such a status. The authors also examine some problems of enforcing Art. 210.1 of the Criminal Code and offer different ways of solving them, namely, the aggregate of Part 4, Art. 210 and Art. 210.1 of the CC, and the and specific features of penalizing offenders persecuted under Art. 210.1 and Part 4, Art. 210 of the CC of the Russian Federation.
Posture and isokinetic shoulder strength in female water polo players
Authors: Aginsky K
Published: February 2020

Background: Being overhead athletes, water polo players can present with muscular imbalances of the shoulder, between the internal rotators (IR) and external rotators (ER), leading to changes in posture and an increased risk of injury.Objectives: To assess posture and isokinetic shoulder strength of female club-level water polo players.Methods: A descriptive study assessing posture and isokinetic strength of the IR and ER shoulder muscles in 15 female club-level South African water polo players (age: 21.3 ± 1.5 years) was conducted. Posture was assessed using a posture grid. Isokinetic shoulder rotator muscle strength was tested over five repetitions concentrically and eccentrically at 60°/sec using a Biodex system 3 isokinetic dynamometer. The bilateral, reciprocal and functional dynamic control ratios (DCR) were calculated.Results: Typical postures noted were a forward head, rounded shoulders, increased thoracic spine kyphosis, elevated non-dominant shoulder and mild scapula winging. The mean concentric reciprocal ratios for the dominant (52.2 ± 7%) and non-dominant (51.9 ± 6.4%) sides indicated ER muscle weakness. DCR values were within normal limits for the group. (D: 0.75 ± 0.2 and ND: 0.75 ± 0.1).Conclusion: There is a trend for these female water polo players to have rounded shoulders and forward head postures, as well as ER muscle strength weakness, the combination of which could predispose the athletes to shoulder injury.
The influence of nationality and playing position on relative age effects in rugby union: A cross-cultural comparison.
Authors: Kearney P
Published: February 2020

Background: Recent research in a French context suggested that relative age effects (RAEs) in rugby union may be influenced by playing position; specifically, that RAEs may be more pronounced in back row players who do not have as extreme an anthropomorphic profile as other forward positions. Methods: In the present study, dates of birth of 6 663 players from four nations (Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa) were analysed for relative age effects. Results: The hypothesis that RAEs would be more pronounced in back row players was not supported. South African rugby was an obvious outlier due to the finding that RAEs were present across all playing units. These results suggest that late maturing players have been disproportionately lost to the South African system across all positions. Conclusion: Nation-specific youth sport culture appears to be more important than playing position for determining who is at risk of RAEs in rugby union.
Factors associated with lumbo-pelvic pain in recreational cyclists
Authors: Rodseth M , Stewart A
Published: February 2020

Background: Overuse injuries in cyclists are as high as 85%, with lower back and pelvis pain (LBPP) being common. The lower back and pelvis are pivotal to powering and controlling the bicycle and essential for optimal functioning, comfort and performance. Cyclists spend long, continuous hours in sustained forward flexion, which is regarded as a main contributor to LBPP. Cyclists with LBPP assume greater lumbar flexion but the reason has not yet been established. Objectives: To identify intrinsic and bicycle set-up factors associated with lumbo-pelvic pain in cyclists. Methods: This study was cross-sectional and descriptive. One hundred and twenty-one cyclists in Gauteng, South Africa, participated in this study. The factors proposed to be associated with LBPP were determined to be namely: lumbar curvature on the bicycle in all three handlebar positions, strength of the gluteus maximus (Gmax) and medius (Gmed), extensibility of the hamstrings, control of lumbar movement in the direction of flexion, neurodynamics, active straight leg raise, one leg stance test for lateral pelvic shift, leg length discrepancy and bicycle set-up (saddle height, set-back and angle, handlebar height, forward reach, cleat position). Results: Only the lumbar curvature in the brake lever position (p=0.03) and weakness of the Gmed (p=0.05) were related to LBPP in cyclists. Conclusion: This study was the first to assess the relationship between the multiple factors described above and LBPP in cyclists. Understanding the relationship between increased lumber flexion in the brake lever position and the weakness of the Gmed and LBPP may lead to the development of strategies to reduce LBPP occurrence.
The development of suitable cyclic loading and boundary conditions for ballast box tests
Authors: Jideani T , Grabe P
Published: February 2020

Laboratory tests on ballast give insight into the behaviour and performance of the ballast layer under passenger and heavy-haul traffic. It is important, however, to ensure that the simulation of train loads on the ballast layer in the laboratory represents in-situ loading conditions. Furthermore, the provision of ballast lateral confinement during laboratory tests should model the confinement along the track. With adequate, representative loading patterns and boundary conditions executed during laboratory tests on ballast, the overall response and performance of the ballast layer can be estimated and predicted more accurately. This gives an indication of an ideal response of the ballast layer in the field, as well as its impact on track structure deterioration. The objective of this study was to develop suitable cyclic loading and boundary conditions for ballast box tests in the laboratory to represent similar conditions in the field. By conducting box tests, the ballast deformation results revealed the suitable loading pattern that produced a similar rate of ballast strain accumulation as the Field Loading (FL) pattern. Furthermore, boundary condition results showed that decreasing the Level of Lateral Confinement (LoLC) increased the permanent deformation of the ballast layer and the breakage of ballast. The laboratory loading pattern developed in this research, as well as comparable laboratory and field boundary conditions, could provide accurate predictions of the long-term behaviour of ballast and support the planning for subsequent ballast maintenance interventions based on realistic and accurate laboratory test results.

El síndrome de burnout es un término que se escucha con mayor frecuencia en las empresas, pues llega a causar graves problemas de salud en la vida de los empleados, así como en la calidad de los resultados económicos de las organizaciones. El objetivo de la investigación consiste en identificar la existencia del síndrome de burnout en los empleados de nivel gerencial en las Pymes. Es una investigación cualitativa que utiliza la entrevista como instrumento. La muestra va enfocada a gerentes de nivel medio en los sectores de industria, comercio y servicio, dos empresas por sector. Para generar los resultados se emplea el modelo denominado Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) y el ciclo del síndrome de burnout. Los gerentes que manifestaron el síndrome de burnout poseen excesivas cargas de trabajo que les impiden alcanzar las metas establecidas por la dirección, lo que provoca que los gerentes que lo sufren tengan problemas de salud como lo son el estrés, problemas cardio-musculares, e incluso llegan a tener problemas familiares, lo que sobrepasa su capacidad emocional.
INVITED ARTICLE: Eliciting Children’s/Young People’s (Group) Engagement with Scenarios as Participatory Research Practice for Exploring and Extending Responses to Climate Change
Authors: ROMM Norma
Published: February 2020

In this article I provide an account of my use (in a particular context) of a ‘post qualitative inquiry’ approach, with my recognition that ways of approaching issues to be explored with participants, and the method of exploration, carry social and ecological consequences. The research was initiated in a school in South Africa with a sample of ten (Black) Grade 9 children (aged 14–15). Groups of two to three children engaged with a number of scenarios supplied by me (‘business as usual’, ‘small changes’, and ‘sustainable future’) concerning possible responses to climate change. In each group the children worked together towards jointly creating options for unsettling the ‘business as usual’ scenario while exploring the other scenarios as alternatives. The article concentrates on the justification for using scenarios as a basis for inviting the children to discuss together their responses to climate change, with a view to the research inputting into their visioning and their understandings of possibilities for agency (individual and collective). It also concentrates on my intent to strengthen the notion of collaborative visioning, which is in keeping with Indigenous understandings of relational knowing. The research was intended, inter alia, to contribute to the children’s appreciation of this way of learning.
