Published: October 2023

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), a disorder of the synovium, subchondral bone, and cartilage that affects the entire joint, constitutes approximately 12% of all cases of symptomatic osteoarthritis. This review summarizes the pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie the positive influence of chondroitin sulphates (CSs) on PTOA as means of preventive and therapeutic treatment.
Mechanisms of PTOA development involve chondrocytes undergoing various forms of cell death (apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and/or necrosis). Chondroitin sulphates are a class of glycosaminoglycans that improve the structure and function of cartilage and subchondral bone, which is associated with their ability to decrease the activation of NF-κB and p38 MAPK, and up-regulate Nrf2.
Standardized small fish extract (SSFE) is an example of the drugs that can attenuate NF-κB-mediated systemic inflammation, potentially helping to reduce joint inflammation and cartilage degradation, improve joint function, and alleviate pain and disability in patients with these conditions.
Ocular involvement in rheumatic diseases
Authors: Dankiewicz- Fares Iwona , Jeka Daniel , Barczyńska Tacjana
Published: October 2023

Rheumatic diseases are associated with a significant decline in quality of life, which is not only related to the progression of the underlying disease but also to the development of coexisting conditions. One of the possible complications in this group of diseases is ocular involvement.
Impaired vision is strongly associated with a significant decline in quality of life and can also exacerbate problems related to physical functioning. Consequently, it can lead to serious complications in the treatment of the underlying disease. Additionally, from a clinical point of view, it is also important to note that ocular diseases may precede the occurrence of inflammatory joint and spinal diseases, as well as organ involvement in systemic connective tissue disorders. Therefore, paying attention to ocular symptoms can help in early diagnosis and thus improve patient prognosis. For the aforementioned reasons, ocular diseases should be carefully considered in routine rheumatologic practice.

Authors:   Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, Potapova Vladislava , Morev Dmitry
Published: October 2023

In the study, 2 portable spectroradiometers were compared to assess the content of pigments (chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids) in the leaves of spring wheat, as well as the possibility of isolating phenological phases according to the indications of light absorption. Absorption measurements were carried out using CropTalker+ and SpectraPen mini in 12 wavelengths (from 450 nm to 860 nm) in relative values. The devices were tested at 16 points in 4 phenological phases: tillering, earing, flowering and milk ripeness. In mixed samples, concentrations of chlorophylls and carotenoids in mg/g of dry weight were determined from each sampling point. Regression dependences were found between the readings of absorption, reflection and the content of chlorophylls, carotenoids (R2= 0.73–0.77 for the sum of chlorophylls and R2= 0.37–0.41 for carotenoids). Significant differences were also found between the average readings of absorption and reflection in different phenological phases.

Published: October 2023

Ulangan 24:1-4 sering dibaca sebagai sebuah, bahkan satu-satunya, hukum perceraian di dalam Perjanjian Lama. Tulisan ini akan memperlihatkan bahwa teks ini sejatinya bukan hukum perceraiain melainkan hukum perkawinan kembali. Berdasarkan analisis bentuk sastra terkait genre hukum (kritik bentuk) di dalam Kitab Taurat, teks ini tergolong hukum kasuistik (bersyarat). Berdasarkan subjek hukumnya dan hubungan hukumnya, teks ini mempersoalkan legalitas suami mengawini kembali mantan istrinya. Dalam perbandingan dengan hukum rujuk dalam Islam, teks ini sebuah hukum kasuistik dengan subjek hukum suami pertama yang hendak kembali kepada mantan istrinya yang telah bercerai atau ditinggal mati suami kedua, sebuah hukum perkawinan juga, tetapi dengan pemberlakuan negatif (larangan rujuk).

Published: October 2023

In the U.S., adaptive sports have existed for more than 100 years, providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Despite the growth of adaptive sports in interscholastic and professional spaces, as well as the NCAA’s commitment to inclusion, there are minimal opportunities for students with disabilities to compete in sports at the collegiate level. Through semi-structured interview method, the purpose of this study was to understand Division III athletic administrators (N= 8) perceptions of adaptive sports. Throughout the data, 4 themes emerged: lack of knowledge, how, impact, and resources. Implications from this study suggest that a strategic plan needs to be developed to improve visibility, awareness, and general knowledge regarding adaptive sports. Additionally, a strategic plan targeting collegiate athletics is necessary to promote conversations around adaptive sports. Sponsoring adaptive sports is in line with the Division III philosophy. Although the participants indicated interest in adopting adaptive sports, barriers (e.g., resources, compliance with federal law) were a deterrent. To this, the NCAA should educate the membership on the benefits of adaptive sports and incentivize institutions to implement adaptive sports programming.Keywords: Adaptive Sports, Athletic Administration, Division III, Intercollegiate Athletics

Motivation Profiles of Football Players: B2-B3 A Study on Individuals with Visual Challenges
Authors: CANPOLAT Burak , TURHAN Fatih Harun
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTVisual impairment is a significant inhibiting factor that affects individuals' daily lives. However, in recent years, it has been recognized that sports have a positive impact on the lives of visually impaired individuals and enhance their quality of life. Sports have become an important tool in meeting the physical, psychological, and social needs of visually impaired individuals. Therefore, understanding and evaluating the participation motivation of visually impaired individuals in sports is crucial to enrich their sports experiences and maximize their potential. In this regard, this study assesses the participation motivation of B2-B3 visually impaired football players who participate in indoor football within the conceptual framework of Goal-Setting Theory proposed by Locke Latham. The data from B2-B3 visually impaired football players were collected using the Sports Participation Motivation Scale for Disabled Individuals developed by Demir et al., and the collected data were analyzed by applying inferential statistical tests using the SPSS program. According to the findings, there were no significant differences in terms of age and years of sports participation for the variables of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation. However, regarding the time of onset of disability, it was observed that there was a significant difference in the amotivation subscale, with congenitally visually impaired individuals having higher average scores. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the multifaceted nature of participation motivation among B2-B3 visually impaired football players, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches that consider individual characteristics to enhance their sports experiences and maximize their potential.Keywords: B2-B3, Football Players, Motivation, Participation in Sports, Visually Impaired

This research was conducted to examine the mental training and digital game playing behaviors of athletes in terms of various demographic variables. 280 volunteer athletes (174 men and 106 women) from Diyarbakır (140) and Elazığ (140) engaged in individual and team sports branches as members of the research group. The study used the "Personal Information Form" as a data collection instrument, the "Mental Training Inventory in Sports (MTIS)" to assess athletes' mental training levels, and the "Digital Gaming Attitude Scale (DGAS)" to assess their attitudes toward playing digital games. There was a significant difference between the type of sport performed, the status of playing digital games, the digitally playing the sport branch, the income status, the year of doing sports, the sportive degree, the weekly training time and the weekly digital game playing (p0.05). Time, and the Mental Training Inventory and its sub-dimensions. Gender, province, age variable, Mental Training Inventory, and sub-dimensions of the athletes did not differ significantly (p0.05). Male athletes outperformed female athletes on the Mental Training Inventory, whereas amateur athletes outperformed professional athletes. Female athletes outnumber male athletes in the research group; team sports athletes outnumber individual athletes; professional athletes outnumber amateur level athletes; athletes who play digital games outnumber those who do not; athletes with a high income level do not play digital games; and athletes with a sports background of 12 years or more do not play digital games. The total scale score average appeared to be larger. As a consequence, it was discovered that there is a positive and highly significant association between athletes' mental training and digital game playing attitudes.Keywords: Digital Gaming Habits, Individual Sports, Mental Training, Team Sports

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTIn this study, we aimed to examine the levels of leisure boredom, job burnout and social media addiction according to some variables, and the predictive power of the leisure boredom on job burnout and social media addiction was determined. In this quantitative study, the relational screening model was used. Convenience sampling method was preferred in determining the study group. 224 women (54.7%) and 185 men (45.2%) participated in the study. The results indicated that women had higher levels of job burnout than men. Furthermore, individuals who regularly participated in physical activity had lower levels of job burnout and leisure boredom. In addition, the study determined that participants’ virtual tolerance and virtual communication levels increased with an increase in their daily social media use frequency. The results revealed that leisure boredom was a significant predictor of participants’ job burnout and social media addiction. It can be inferred that as participants’ leisure boredom increased, their job burnout and social media addiction increased.Keywords: Job Burnout, Leisure Boredom, Social Media Addiction.

Published: October 2023

In order to ensure that individuals can maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is essential to establish a regular exercise routine. This research aims to investigate a sedentary exercise programme and contribute to a healthy life in the years to come. The population of the research consists of sedentary individuals living in Elazığ province. The sample consists of 283 sedentary individuals, of which 168 are female and 115 are male. Our study consists of two parts. In the first part, a personal information form is used for the participants, while in the second part, a 21-item exercise scale (EDS-21) is used. The results show significant symptomatic indications in individuals (p0.05). Asymptomatic individuals were found among those involved in active sports, while symptomatic cases were identified in both individual and team sports. For the EDS-21 sub-dimensions, there was a statistically significant difference in gender, with males scoring higher than females, and active sports participants scoring higher than non-active individuals (p0.05). Although no statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of body weight, a statistically significant difference was found based on weekly exercise status (p0.05).In conclusion, the EDS-21 symptoms of sedentary individuals indicated that females were asymptomatic while males were symptomatic, and that active exercisers were symptomatic while non-exercisers were asymptomatic. In terms of the sub-dimensions of the EDS-21, males were found to be more exercise dependent than females, and active sports participants had higher scores than non-exercisers. In light of this research, informing individuals about exercise dependence could contribute to the healthy upbringing of future generations.Keywords: Dependent, Exercise, Sedentary, Sport

Published: October 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the data on publication type, publication year, publication language, research method, data collection tools, sample type and research topics in academic studies related to orienteering sport in Türkiye between 2001-2021. Content analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, has been used as the research model. The data were collected by literature review and analyzed using explanatory content analysis technique. As a result, it has been determined that the number of studies has increased as of 2017, the cognitive aspect of orienteering sports has come to the fore as a subject, and the number of doctoral dissertations is insufficient. In the studies examined, Turkish as a language, quantitative studies as a method, and athletes as a sample type are more numerous. According to the results of this study, the following suggestions can be made: The number of doctoral theses, the number of studies in English language that can be published in international refereed journals, the number of studies conducted by qualitative and mixed methods, studies related to different groups such as referees, coaches and managers should be increased. Orientation sport-specific attitude scale or questionnaire development studies should be done. A wider literature review should be made by considering the current developments and the relations of orienteering sports with different disciplines. Since orienteering sport has cognitive characteristics and can be used as an educational tool, studies related to different disciplines should be carried out.Keywords: Academic Studies, Content Analysis, Orienteering
Les artefacts digitaux de la Supply Chain : lecture du cas L’Oréal au prisme de l’acteur réseau
Authors: Couzineau-Zegwaard Elizabeth , Meier Olivier
Published: October 2023

La crise de la COVID-19 a accéléré la digitalisation, en particulier des entreprises des produits de consommation, avec le développement du e-commerce et les restrictions du monde physique. La digitalisation apparait parfois comme « allant de soi », alors que la mise en œuvre de l’innovation est souvent très complexe et a fait l’objet de différents modèles en sciences de gestion. Au-delà de la complexité de la gestion technologique et des acteurs, une autre approche, issue de la sociologie des sciences permet de comprendre le rôle qui doit être tenu par les acteurs humains et techniques pour garantir le succès de l’innovation. Dans cet article nous mobilisons le modèle de l’acteur-réseau pour analyser la mise en œuvre de la digitalisation de la Supply Chain de L’Oréal.

Published: October 2023

Building ranking models used in Information Retrieval (IR) is one of the main problems of learning-to-Rank. Tasmanian Devil Optimization algorithm is a recently proposed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the Tasmanian Devils’ predation mechanism. In this paper, grey wolf operator and stud mechanism are introduced into the TDO optimization process to improve the ability of exploitation and achieve better performance. The proposed Stud Hybrid Tasmanian Devil - Grey Wolf Optimization (SHTDO) combines Grey Wolf Optimizer and TDO with a Stud Selection and Crossover Operator, thus helping to enhance the exploration and exploitation as well as the motion under both strategies. Also, to validate the algorithm on the different fields, widely accepted benchmark and dataset was used for testing. The results show that our algorithm obtains higher ranking performance than TDO, which makes it more suitable for solving optimization problems, especially LTR tasks.

Published: October 2023

Advanced laser printing technology is now widely used in daily life and at work. Because laser printers are so easy to obtain and use, they have also become a popular method for criminals to forge important documents like currency, securities, and certificates. To obtain evidence for document forgery, traditional forensics use chemical analysis of ink, but the cost is high. Laser color printing uses halftone technology. This technology combines the CMYK printing colors’ halftone screens at their respective angles. When correctly superimposed, they will form a moiré pattern. And the moiré pattern of a color block differs depending on the printer brand or model. This paper will use deep learning to create an image recognition model that can quickly classify forged documents by combining image processing, data augmentation, and transfer learning. The experimental results are examined using indicators of accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and PR curve. The results show that ResNet-50 has the best performance and can be used to detect document forgery. The study’s findings will be useful for future criminal investigators and forensic personnel in their work.

 
Prescriptive Rules in Legal Theory
Authors: Placani Adriana
Published: October 2023

Understanding prescriptive rules is important for understanding the law given that much of law is prescriptive. This work in legal philosophy aims to promote such understanding by offering an analysis of prescriptive rules. It does so by showing what these rules are and how they operate, distinguishing them from other rule types, and advancing a critical analysis of Joseph Raz’s conception of prescriptive rules. The analysis offered helps to clarify not only the nature of prescriptive rules and their treatment within legal philosophy, but also legal norms that operate by prescribing conduct.
