Published: November 2022

Athletes born closer to an arbitrary cut-off date are more likely to reach an elite level in sport, which is supported by a phenomenon called the relative age effect (RAE). It is important to determine whether this phenomenon is present in a sport to minimize this selection bias. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of RAE in elite volleyball athletes, considering the influence of gender, the playing position (Setter, Middle, Libero, Opposite, and Outside Hitter) and the performance level (attack points, aces, and block points). The sample comprised 203 male and 193 female athletes competing in the Superliga A in the 2020/2021 season, which was equivalent to all of the teams of the championship. The data collection was performed during May and June, 2021. Athletes were organized according to gender, the playing position, and performance in the Superliga. For performance variables, athletes were separated based on the median value (90.0), and classified as high- or low-performance. Chi-squared tests were performed to verify differences between birth date distributions in relation to the aforementioned variables. Results indicated overrepresentation of relatively older male athletes (Q1 = 35.96%; Q2 = 27.59%; Q3 = 19.21%; Q4 = 17.24%), especially in Middles, Opposites, and Outside Hitters, regardless of their performance level. Considering females, no differences were found. Our findings suggest that RAE operates differently for men and women in elite Brazilian volleyball. The characteristics of the games played by male and female elite athletes may lead to different talent selection processes, affecting the likelihood of RAE prevalence.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in neuromuscular performance between variable resistance training and constant resistance training within complex training. Twenty-one well-trained collegiate basketball players were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (variable resistance training) or a control group (constant resistance training) and completed a twice weekly training program over an 8-week period. Training programs were the same except that the experimental group included variable resistance via elastic bands (40% of the total load). Maximum strength, vertical jump, horizontal jump, and sprint performance were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Both groups demonstrated significant increases in the back squat 1RM (experimental group +36.5% and control group +32.3%, both p < 0.001), countermovement jump (experimental group +12.9%, p = 0.002 and control group +5.6%, p = 0.02), and squat jump performance (experimental group +21.4% and control group +12.9%, both p < 0.001), whereas standing broad jump performance improved only in the experimental group (+2.9%, p = 0.029). Additionally, the experimental group showed significant improvement in the squat jump (p = 0.014) compared with the control group. However, no statistically significant differences were found between groups for countermovement jump (p = 0.06) and sprint performance at 10 m (p = 0.153) and 20 m (p = 0.076). We may conclude that both training modalities showed similar improvements in maximum strength. Performing variable resistance training within a complex training program is more efficient to enhance selective power performance in well-trained collegiate basketball players.

The aim of this study was to identify the immediate effect of self-modelling with different focus of attention strategies (i.e., internal vs. external) on the teaching/learning of gymnastics motor-skills. Fifty-nine non-gymnast students participated in this study and were divided into three groups (i.e., an external focus group (EF), an internal focus group (IF), and a control group (CG)). Each participant’s performance of the back dismount in the parallel bars was assessed before the experiment (i.e., base-score), and each participant was asked to provide a self-evaluation of their performance and their efficiency percentage. Afterwards, participants received a specific learning session (i.e., self-modelling with external focus, self-modelling with internal focus, or traditional learning with verbal instruction) and performed the back dismount in the parallel bars again immediately after (i.e., final score). Four international judges evaluated performance of our participants. The results showed that the EF and IF outperformed the CG in the final score. Importantly, a significant difference between the base and the final score was observed in the EF and IF, but not in the CG. In addition, the EF showed the highest percentage of improvement (Δ-score) and self-estimation scores compared to the two other groups. In conclusion, this study supports the adoption of external focus of attention for teaching/learning gymnastics motor-skills.

Authors: Doçi Ilir , Shala Ferat
Published: November 2022

Rear wind is the air flow that blows in the rear side of the truck. Also known as a tailwind, this aerodynamic force can cause stability issues during forward travel. The methodology of the study is CFD numerical analysis of vehicle aerodynamics. The results will be acquired for the influential aerodynamic parameters, which includes velocity, pressure, vortex, stress, that will explain the impact of rear wind on the truck body. This is achieved with the aid of design, modelling, and simulations using software Comsol Multiphysics. The simulations were performed with freestream velocity of rear wind on the back and around the truck body. Virtual Wind tunnel is modelled around the truck to simulate the wind blow and distribution. There are two airflow regimes analysed: laminar flow and turbulent flow. Simulations for the laminar air flow were implemented for Compressed air flow and the velocity limit Ma<0.3. Simulations for the turbulent air flow regime were implemented based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANS) and K-ω model. Anemometer device is used for the experimental measurements of the wind velocity around the truck. The wind is a function of air velocity and atmospheric pressure. The paper is in the fields of Vehicle aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Transport safety.

Published: November 2022

In the recent years, we observe huge effort to develop new technologies for modern road vehicles in order to improve the level of safety for all passengers in the vehicle. Many of these systems are sooner or later becoming mandatory for the vehicles to be allowed to drive on the European roads. These are for example Lane Keeping Assistants (LKA) or Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA). Although there is huge effort on development and continuous improvement of these systems in the new vehicles, much less effort is put into the analysis of the infrastructure itself in the terms of its readiness for being used by these technologies. This study, in cooperation with the government authorities set as a goal an evaluation of sensoric readability of the horizontal and vertical road signs on the Slovak road infrastructure together with a public dataset to be released after the study will be completely done.

Published: November 2022

A mathematical model of profile shifted quasi-involute arc-tooth-trace gears is obtained. The model includes functional relationships between the geometric-kinematic meshing characteristics and parameters of the generating surface as well as conditions which allow to prevent teeth undercutting and tip pointing. A short analysis of meshing characteristics value along the tooth trace is done for pressure angle value of 20º. This value of the angle was chosen as it is the most common one for general-duty gears, although the basic rack profile angle in the model is a variable quantity. The model can be used in the design and analysis of geometric-kinematic meshing characteristics of profile shifted quasi-involute arc-tooth-trace gears, cut by Gleason-type cutters with different profile angle value.

Published: November 2022

The social relationship that devalues and freezes in an inferior otherness those people whose abilities do not conform to the standards produces a consensus on the help to be given to people considered as disabled. A second social relationship, based on territorial belonging, justifies unequal treatment of natives and people of foreign nationality. But how are these two criteria articulated when the disability concerns a person of foreign nationality? This is the question that is the focus of this article.

Published: November 2022

Annotation. Timely diagnosis of such a rare pathology as hygroma of the pubic symphysis is an urgent problem, since this disease is not always characterized by typical clinical symptoms and can occur under the guise of many urological and gynecological pathologies.

Purpose of the study: to study the possibility of radiation methods for diagnosing hygroma of the pubic symphysis on the example of clinical observation.

Materials and methods. Patient B., 63 years old, was under observation with a diagnosis of Hygroma of the pubic symphysis. Ultrasound examination was performed on a GE Voluson E10 ultrasound scanner with a RIC5-9-D transvaginal 3D probe (5–10 MHz). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on a Siemens Magnetom Aera tomograph.

Results. According to the ultrasound examination of the urethra, between the symphysis and the anterior wall of the urethra, a volumetric formation with an even, clear contour of 43 × 33 × 40 mm was determined; urethra without focal pathology. On a series of MRI scans of the small pelvis in the retropubic fat between the posterior-lower edge of the symphysis and the anterior wall of the urethra, a heterogeneous avascular cystic-solid mass of 3.0 × 2.8 cm in size was determined that did not separate from them; a solid component of the type of multiple fibrous septa; the cystic component of the formation is associated with an unexpanded cavity of the joint space of the symphysis, containing fluid. The use of ultrasound examination of the urethra using 3D reconstruction in combination with magnetic resonance imaging of the small pelvis helped to make a diagnosis and determine further tactics for managing the patient.

Conclusion. The above clinical observation demonstrated that the complex application of various methods of radiation diagnostics helps to accurately determine the organ belonging to a volumetric formation. This allows you to choose the right tactics for managing patients in the shortest possible time.

The aim of this study was to evaluate average 11C-methionine uptake for grade II (anaplastic) gliomas in a large cohort, as well as relations between MRI and PET characteristics and their unfluence on overall and progression-free survival.

Materials and methods. The study was based upon 78 patients with supratentorial tumors, among them 48 with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and 30 with anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO). ALL patients underwent PET-CT with 11C-methionine and MRI study (Т1, Т2, Т2-FLAIR, DWI и 3D Т1+Gd regimes). Tumor removal was performed in 71 cases, stereotactic biopsy in 8 patients. Tumor specimen were assessed by neuropatomorphologists and IDH1-status and 1p/19q co-deletion were evaluated.

Study results. AA IDH− tumors demonstrated statistically significant bigger metabolic volume and radiotracer uptake comparing with AA IDH+. Moreover, AA IDH − characterized by higher fractional MET uptake. The smallest tumors (by MRI) were AOs, meanwhile their fractional contrast enhancement was higher than for AAs. AOs were also known as tumors with minimal difference between MRI and PET-CT volume. MET uptake decreased in a row АА IDH− – АОД – AA IDH+, but the difference has not reached statistical significance. For wild-type AAs metabolic volume correlated with OS and PFS, meanwhile for IDH-mutant AAs tumor volume (measured by MRI) correlated only with PFS.

Conclusion. Present study based on the largest cohort of patients with anaplastic gliomas who underwent both MRI and PET with 11C-methionine. It turned out, that unlike grade II oligodendogliomas, AOs do not always demonstrate higher than their astrocytic counterparts MET uptake levels.

Endogenous endophthalmitis among people with diabetes; a review
Authors: Alharbi Elham , Bamahfouz Ashjan , Alzubaidi Ahmad , Bakry Salah , Alqthmi Rahma
Published: November 2022

Although endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) among diabetic individuals (DEE) is uncommon, the prevalence of the condition has recently increased due to better intensive healthcare services available and increased longevity of critically ill patients with systemic infections. The existing literature was critically reviewed on DEE and its present incidence, risk factors, causative organisms, management, outcomes, and proposed measures to improve its public health approach. This review is of critical importance, as the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the risk of EE for diabetic patients as a result of a systemic infection. Aggressive glycemic control is concurrent with patient care for DEE management, which requires lifelong maintenance. Early detection and standard management are crucial for patients' visual recovery. Still, a guarded prognosis is given to patients and relatives as outcomes are not always predictable. There is a need for the teamwork of ophthalmologists with other health professionals and patients throughout the management. The causative organisms, early pharmacotherapy suitable for the identified organisms, and pars plana vitrectomy are predictors of visual outcomes. DEE patients need lifelong eye care.
Manifestation of the Late Aeronian event in the Silurian section on the western slope of the Subpolar Urals
Authors: Beznosova T. M. , Matveev V. A.
Published: November 2022

Research subject. The article presents the results of studying traces of the global Late Aeronian biotic and isotopic (δ13Ccarb) events preserved in a new reference section of the Lower Silurian in the Subpolar Urals.

Materials and methods. The samples of sedimentary rocks and microfauna, the results of isotope analysis, as well as the collections with remains of benthic fauna collected by the authors in diﬀerent years during ﬁeldwork were investigated. The studies were conﬁrmed by sedimentological, biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic data obtained by the authors.

Results. The The event-stratigraphic interval, established in the upper part of the Lolashor stage (Aeronian) of the Silurian, is characterized by increasing regressive tendencies, decreasing biodiversity, disappearance of Pranognathus tenuis conodonts and brachiopods of the genus Pentamerus, as well as by δ13Ccarb anomalies in the upper strata of the Lolashor stage.

Conclusions. The obtained data indicate a eustatic drop in the sea level, a major ecosystem restructuring, and a sedimentation gap at the end of the Lolashor time. The boundary between the Lolashor and Philippel stages (Aeronian and Telychian) records a sharp negative isotopic shift of δ13Ccarb, which was ﬁrst observed in the Lower Silurian section in the European Northeast of Russia.
40Ar-39Ar dating of pegmatites from Murzinka-Adui region (Middle Urals): Results and their geological interpretation
Authors: Smirnov V. N. , Ivanov K. S. , Travin A. V. , Zakharov A. V. , Erokhin Yu. V.
Published: November 2022

Research subject. The pegmatites of Murzinka-Adui region (Ethtern sector of the Middle Urals), represented by three types of veins miarolitic pegmatites with topaz and beryl (mines Mokrusha, Kazennitsa, Semenovskaia), miarolitic rubillite-lepidolite pegmatites (Lipovka veins ﬁeld) and rare metal pegmatites with Ta-Nb-Be mineralization (deposits Kvartal’noe and Lipovyi Log).

Materials and methods. Isotope dating was carried out via the 40Ar-39Ar method by a mass spectrometer Micromass 5400 at the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS for mica of diﬀerent composition (muscovites, biotites and lepidolites).

Results. 40Ar/39Ar ages for mica from dated pegmatite veins of the topaz-beryl type coincide within the measurement accuracy: mine Kazennitsa – 252.3 Ma, Mokrusha – 253.7 and Semenovskaia – 250.3 Ma. The average age of the two series of mica from rubillite-lepidolite pegmatites was found to be 254.1 Ma. The average age of four samples of muscovites from rare metal Ta-Nb-Be pegmatites equals 252.6 Ma.

Conclusions. The closure of the isotope system of micas in pegmatites of all three studied types (topaz-beryllium, rubillite-lepidolite and rare-metal with Ta-Nb-Be mineralization) occurred almost simultaneously during the timeframe of 254 to 250 Ma years ago. The obtained age values, however, cannot be identiﬁed with the time of formation of pegmatites. The analysis of the available data suggests that the closure of the micas K-Ar isotope system of the studied pegmatites as well as previously dated schists and blastomylonites of the Bazhenovo suture zone and granites of the Murzinka-Adui block marks an important episode in the geological history of the eastern margin of the Urals and the basement of the adjacent part of the West Siberian plate: the change of the transpression regime prevailing during the collision stage of the region’s development to the regime of limited postcollision extension.
Permian-Triassic ﬂood basalts in the pre-Jurassic basement of the Arctic zone of the West Siberian platform
Authors: Berzin S. V. , Ivanov K. S. , Pankrushina E. A. , Soloshenko N. G.
Published: November 2022

Research subject. Permian-Triassic ﬂood basalts in the basement of the Arctic zone of the West Siberian Platform locate mainly in graben-rift structures. Flood basalts in this region remain to be understudied in comparison with other areas of its distribution, mainly due to the signiﬁcant depth of their occurrence (4–6 km).

Materials and methods. 36 core samples from 11 superdeep and deep boreholes were studied. Isotopic ratios were measured on mass spectrometers NEPTUNE PLUS (Nd, Sm) and TRITON PLUS (Rb, Sr). Bitumen were studied using a Raman spectrometer LabRAM HR800 Evolution. The Raman spectra were deconvoluted (“Peak ﬁtting” procedure), and the bitumen conversion temperature was estimated.

Results. About half of the samples of volcanic rocks underwent metamorphism of the prehnite-pumpellite and locally greenschist facies or intense low-temperature hydrothermal alteration. The studied basalts are close to typical ﬂood basalts and are somewhat similar to island-arc volcanic rocks in terms of their geochemical characteristics. For the ﬁrst time, thin inclusions of bitumen were found in the amygdalae of Permian-Triassic basalts in the superdeep borehole Tyumenskaya SG-6 at a depth of 7310.6 m. A high similarity of the studied volcanics by geochemical characteristics and the isotopic composition of Sr and Nd with the ﬂood basalts of the Siberian platform is shown.

Conclusions. The presence of a negative Ta, Nb, Ti anomaly, as well as a negative Ce anomaly, in some of the analyzed samples indicates a possible contamination of the basalts by island arc volcanics and volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks. The temperature of transformation of bitumen in inclusions in basalts from the well Tyumenskaya SG-6 according to Raman spectroscopy is estimated at 150–300°C and generally corresponds to the temperature of metamorphism of the host basalts. The presence of bitumen in the amygdalae may indicate the migration of hydrocarbons through the basalts.

Undiagnosed Hard-to-Heal Wound Cases: A Case Series
Authors:   Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital, Gumus Tuna
Published: November 2022

Introduction: The aim of this study is to raise awareness in our colleagues who read the article by addressing hard-to-heal wound cases that have been misdiagnosed or undiagnosed in the outpatient wound care clinics. The common feature of these cases is the diseases that can be found in the etiology of all and can be fatal. Many of the cases in this article were evaluated in various hospitals and different branch outpatient wound care clinics before admission and were followed up with standard wound care with different diagnoses, but there was no improvement in their wounds. Methods: The wounds evaluated in this study are calciphylaxis, Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), Amelanotic Melanoma (AM), Basosquamous Cell Carcinoma (BSC) and Factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation. The oldest of the 5 cases is 68 years old and the youngest is 8 years old. 4 cases were referred to our outpatient clinic by the centers where they were followed up, to receive wound care and, if indicated, Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy. 1 case applied without any referral as a result of her own research. Results: Among the adult cases, patients with calciphylaxis and basosquamous carcinoma passed away respectively on the ninth day and the eleventh month after admission due to the underlying diseases that caused their injuries. 1 child received the appropriate treatment after the correct diagnosis and approach. In 3 cases, surgical intervention was required during the follow-up process (debridement, amputation, wide resection). Conclusion: In the evaluation of chronic wounds, it is necessary to look at them from a wide perspective. If a wound does not heal, another underlying disease should be investigated. In treatment-resistant atypical cases, the clinician should take a biopsy in the slightest doubt and the diseases that cause thrombophilia in etiology should be evaluated. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential in cases of chronic wounds. These diseases can cause loss of limb or even death. A doctor evaluating chronic wounds should be informed about the diseases mentioned in this study.
Presence and Immersion: A Tale of Two Cities
Authors: Felnhofer Anna , Kothgassner Oswald
Published: November 2022

Highlights:
1) the "sense of presence" and "immersion" are logically distinct but related concepts which to date have often been confused an used synonymously 2) "immersion" may be conceptualized as an objective property of technology or the extent to which a user feels immersed3) "presence", in turn, is a perceptual illusion in which the user has the impression of "being there" in the virtual environment4) for a better terminological stringency, we suggest using the term "immnersiveness" to describe the technology and "immersion" to indicate the level to which a user feels immersed5) also, we suggest conceptualizing presence as a consequence of immersive technology which is mediated by user factors (demographics, attention, motion sickness etc.)
The Legal Politics Harmonization of Sustainable Agricultural Policy
Authors: Fahamsyah Ermanto , Chansrakaeo Ruetaitip
Published: November 2022

Sustainable agriculture represents a forward-looking legal policy aimed at preserving agricultural practices for future generations. Challenges arise when various laws and regulations governing sustainable agricultural policies exhibit disharmony, despite their substantial interconnections. This study seeks to advocate for the legal harmonization of sustainable agricultural policies. Employing a normative legal research methodology, this research focuses on analyzing legal issues to develop prescriptive legal solutions for the identified problems. The study utilizes both a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The findings indicate that the disharmony among sustainable agricultural law policies across various regulations in Indonesia necessitates legal harmonization in the planning, formulation, and evaluation of legislation. Future improvements to the legal framework for sustainable agriculture in Indonesia can be achieved by harmonizing legal policies related to sustainable agriculture, particularly through the revision of Government Regulation (PP) No. 12 of 2021 to include sustainable agriculture as a core regulatory component.
Environmental Management Based on Islamic Sharia and Customary Law in Aceh
Authors: Idami Zahratul , Hirdayadi Israr , Isa Qudwatin Nisak M , Rahman Alfi
Published: November 2022

This paper examines how Islamic and customary laws govern environmental management in Aceh using a qualitative normative juridical approach. Data were collected from various literature and documents related to the topic and analyzed through constitutional, historical, and Islamic frameworks. The findings reveal an intrinsic connection between Islamic Shari'a and Aceh Customary Law, as illustrated by the hadith "Adat ngon hukom lagee zat ngon sifeut," indicating that all customary environmental management aligns with Islamic principles. For example, a hadith states that cutting down a sidr tree results in severe consequences, and Aceh's customary law prohibits the felling of trees such as tualang, kemuning, and ketapang without permission from the Keujreun. Additionally, livestock owners must ensure their animals are contained and not allowed to graze near sensitive areas like springs. Under Islamic Law, all humans possess the legal status of muhtaram, necessitating the protection of their rights and the rights of all living and non-living entities.

Informal urban communities as self-organizing voluntary associations of residents based on common interests and pressing problems are a natural part of the social life of the city. The classification of communities distinguishes many subspecies: by interests, by management technologies, by place of residence or location, created around a specific goal or problem, etc. Each of these associations has its own deficits and requests, to which the Moscow City University (hereinafter – MCU, University) can give an answer and offer mutually beneficial collaborations. The purpose of the study was to identify the potential needs and existing deficits of urban communities, as well as prospects for cooperation between Moscow City University and them. The novelty of the work lies in the development of strategies for cooperation between urban communities and MCU campuses through the study of their deficits and requests. The study involved more than 200 respondents from neighborly communities, urban associations of amateur athletes, new settlers and parents. As a result of the study, the needs and deficits of urban communities were identified, factors hindering the full-fledged cooperation of University campuses with informal urban groups were identified, conclusions were drawn about strategies for mutually beneficial interaction of the University with urban communities, namely: 1) provision of services such as the development of special educational programs for the interests of the community, psychological, pedagogical and legal advice, assistance of volunteers in organizing events, access to the territory and existing infrastructure; 2) provision of specific services arising from the interests and related to the topic of communities, for example - functional examination of the health of runners, consultations for parents special children or a place to store flowers of good neighbors; 3) the demand for both gratuitous and paid services; 4) the development of new safety regulations when visiting the University by citizens; 5) a turn towards working for the city and the openness of the University.
Ethical Expertise of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Subject-oriented Social Relationships
Authors: Malakhova Elena Vladimirovna
Published: November 2022

The ethical examination of modern technologies, especially those that use artificial intelligence, can be based on an approach that focuses not on the technology itself, but on the subject as a human-agent who can be the developer and user of this technology. In this article, we consider the concept of an ethical subject as an agent with the fundamental ability to make ethically significant choices. The peculiarity of such choices is that they are significant not only for society, but also for the ethical subjects themselves, who are always not only a means, but also the goal of moral actions. That is why such ethical subjects can be only persons or groups of people, but not technology, even the most advanced – otherwise it would be the goal of ethical choices for itself and for people. Ethical expertise of a technology capable of acting independently of a person is possible, as we believe, through its «training» to recognize situations of applying those solutions to ethical dilemmas that are provided by a person, and valuation of the results of such recognition. A part of such «training» may be worth providing not only to developers, but also to users, remembering the fact that all these solutions should also be brought into compliance with local legislative norms.
