Isokinetic Peak of Torque and Fatigue Index in Simulated Wheelchair Propulsion in Elite Wheelchair Rugby Players
Authors: Machado Felipe , Correia Renan Felipe , Ribeiro Alex Natalino , Neto Samuel Ribeiro dos Santos , Vieira Ivaldo Brandão , Gorla José Irineu
Published: September 2018

Background: In sports such as wheelchair rugby, the correct assessment and quantification of an athletes’ peak of torque and fatigue index in sport-specific actions are essential in monitoring an athletes’ training performance. The increase in the number of people practicing Paralympic sports has been growing exponentially, contributing to an increase of competition level and of athletes’ performance. Objective: Thus, physical training for Paralympic sport must aim to maximize athletes’ fitness potential by investigating and evaluating what variables are most important in determining ideal sporting performance. Methods: Six high-level wheelchair rugby athletes had their wheelchair propulsion peak of torque and fatigue index evaluated by isokinetic dynamometry in three different angular velocity and repetition schemes. Results: The athletes presented no significant statistical difference in peak of torque and fatigue index for both arms at different number of repetitions and angular velocity. Conclusions: This shows that independent of dexterity parameters or duration of stimuli, these high-level athletes display this motor skill in constant levels of performance. These results will allow coaches to set up normative parameters to test and evaluate their players’ performances.

Authors: Stucchi-Portocarrero 3 Santiago , PÉREZ-ANDRADE 1* Jessica Raquel , MALDONADO-RUIZ 2 Humberto
Published: September 2018

Violence against women occurs in all latitudes, countries and cultures, and represents a public health problem. In Peru there is currently a wave of extreme violence against women, which must be understood as a very recurrent phenomenon, but not sufficiently reflected. Citizen movements from social networks and civil society have manifested the alarming number of occurrences of this problem and the media evidence more and more cases of women being violated and even killed with mechanisms as cruel as incineration. This article reflects on the role of the State and health institutions in the attention of violence against women and how through the discourse of hegemonic masculinity, as well as that of the pathologization of the victimizer, can even encourage its perpetuation. This analysis includes those components related to the professional training of health service providers and provides some ideas to improve the sociocultural understanding of the phenomenon of violence against women.
Types of social support associated with depression in the UK adult population
Authors: TAN 1 SOO YIN , Shi Hui Joy 1 SOO , YANG 3 Keming
Published: September 2018

Many well-established sociological studies pertaining to the salubrious link between social relations and mental health have been published. In particular, numerous researchers address the issue of how social isolation and lack of family support and social ties can adversely affect one’s mental well-being. In this paper, we seek to identify and explore the relationships between people who were clinically diagnosed with depression and the aspects of their social environment, namely their social and family circumstances in the UK adult population. One hundred and ten blogs mentioning depression as their main condition were selected from a mental health support website, Time-to-Change, for analysis. As not many studies have analysed such narratives, we expected the analysis to provide a fresher and deeper understanding of the experiences of those afflicted with depression. We observed that there is a consistent discourse emphasising the importance of social support from close loved ones, in particular friends and family members. There is evidence that social circumstances can be mediating factors in depression.

Published: September 2018

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of maize green fodder produced by hydroponics system on the performance of eighteen weaned crossbred calves and Calves were divided into three groups T1, T2 and T3 of six each as uniformly. The calf starter in dietary treatments T1, T2 and T3 contained 24, 20 and 17 per cent of Crude Protein (CP), respectively and 70 per cent Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN). The T2 and T3 treatments were made iso-nitrogenous with T1 by supplementing hydroponics maize fodder. The results obtained in the present study showed significant difference among different treatment groups regarding Dry matter intake (DM), total body weight gain, Average daily gain (ADG) and Feed conversion ratio (FCR) with a higher (P less than 0.05) values observed for calves belonging to T3 than groups T1 and T2. Data on digestibility of nutrients does not reveal any difference (P>0.05) among treatment groups. Cost per kg gain was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in T3 (Rs.102.14) than groups T2 (Rs. 111.64) and T1 (Rs. 119.82). On conclusion, feeding of hydroponics maize fodder as a partial feed substitute of calf starter on protein basis at seven per cent level improves the DM intake, total body weight gain, ADG and lowers the cost per kg body weight gain.

Published: September 2018

The present study was aimed to see the faecal bacterial fingerprints of pigs applying terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis. Sixteen crossbred (Large White Yorkshire X desi) grower pigs (body weight of 15.8±1.1 kg), were divided into four groups (control, antibiotic, herbal residue and prebiotic) with four in each treatment. T-RFLP analysis revealed comparable bacterial abundance in control - antibiotic and herbal residue - prebiotic groups. Abundance of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius (an antibiotic resistant pathogen) was higher in antibiotic supplemented pigs. Number of significantly responded operational taxonomic units (OTU) was higher in herbal residue and prebiotic supplemented pigs than control or antibiotic pigs. Bacterial abundance was significantly higher in pigs supplemented with prebiotic, followed by herbal residue, antibiotic, and control. The abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Sarcina maxima, Bacteroidetes sp., Cetobacterium somerae, Selenomonas sputigera, Fecalibacterium prausnitzi were significantly higher in prebiotic groups. The present findings established that herbal residue and prebiotic are alternative to feed antibiotic in pigs.

Published: September 2018

The present study was undertaken to study the effect of inbreeding on pre-weaning and sow performance traits of Large White Yorkshire pig population. Data on 7596 Large White Yorkshire pigs maintained at PGRIAS, Kattupakkam from the period of 1990 to 2015, were subjected to least square analysis to study the effect of inbreeding and other non-genetic factors viz., period, season, sex, parity, litter size at birth on various traits using general linear model. Inbreeding was calculated as Wright’s path co-efficient. The mean inbreeding co-efficient of LWY population studied was 2.45 %. Among 7596 animals in the pedigree, 2088 were inbred and the range of individual inbreeding co-efficient (F) was from 0 to 37.5 per cent. The average inbreeding in the inbred population was 8.92 %. The effect of inbreeding was found to be significant for weaning weight, pre-weaning average daily gain and litter weight at weaning, where the traits were found to increase with inbreeding (enhancement). The absence of depressive effect on fitness traits observed in the present study could be due to lower levels of inbreeding, which was possible due to periodic introduction of breeding animals and planned mating.

Published: September 2018

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important legumes after beans and peas in the world. Turkey is one of the main chickpea producing countries but the yield is not within the expected quantity considering cultivated area. Breeding chickpea varieties requires well-characterized wild Cicer spp progenitors including C. reticulatum, C. echinospermum, C. bijugum and C. pinnatifidum that exhibit sympatric distribution in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. This study contributes to the identification of similarities and differences among wild and cultivated Cicer spp. ecotypes using DNA marker systems and biochemical parameters. RAPD and ISSR markers revealed four groups and separated C pinnatifidum ecotypes as a single population. Wild Cicer spp and cultivated chickpea species exhibited significant variations for their oil, protein, starch, cellulose, fructose and sucrose content. Furthermore, the cultivated chickpea genotypes had higher content of fat, starch and sucrose than those of the wild progenitors whereas wild Cicer spp ecotypes possessed higher values for cellulose, fructose and glucose than cultivated chickpea genotypes.

Published: September 2018

Present study was designed to assess the prospect of fresh phosphate solubilizing bacterial isolates (PSB), to ones, used as PSB-biofertilizer in growth promotion of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Phosphate-solublizing index (PSI) of 17 isolates varied from 1.692 to 3.033, after seven days incubation. Tricalcium phosphate solubilization by PSB ranged from 309.72 to 615.28 ìg/ml and highest value was recorded for isolate JCA-5. Three most efficient fresh isolates were clustered under the genera Burkholderia, Bacillus and Brevibacillus. The supplementation of elite PSB isolates augmented growth and P-uptake irrespective of edaphic conditions for groundnut. Steady increments in root (22.6% and 25.5%) and shoot length (27.6% and 33.7%), root dry-weight (20.3% and 16.2%),shoot dry-weight (11.3% and 23.3%) and P-uptake (30% and 67%) of groundnut was evident in red-laterite soil and new alluvial soils respectively in comparison to the previously acknowledged PSB biofertilizers.
Mauli banana stem extract application increased expression of NF-κB in traumatic ulcer healing
Authors: Apriasari Maharani Laillyza , Rahayu Retno Pudji , Ernawati Diah Savitri
Published: September 2018

Background: A traumatic ulcer represents one of the most prevalent disorders affecting the oral cavity. Ulceration of the oral cavity potentially results in secondary infection requiring topical medication which involves the use of antiseptics to accelerate wound healing. Previous research has shown that Mauli banana (Musa acuminata) stem extract (MBSE) contains bioactive material from terpenoid saponin present in Ambon bananas. The terpenoid saponin in Ambon banana stems will be captured by a G protein receptor in the macrophages, subsequently producing a protein kinase C that activates nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB). This increases both the activity and number of macrophages. Purpose: To analyze the expression of NF-κB (p50) in traumatic ulcers as an effect of MBSE. Methods: A true experimental design with a post-test only control group. It involved 40 male Rattus norvegicus strain rats as traumatic ulcer models divided into four groups: the negative control group administered gel, and the other treatment groups administered 25%, 37.5% and 50% ethanol extracts of MBSE gel respectively. A biopsy was performed on days 3 and 5. The preparation was produced to analyze the expression of NF-κB (p50) by means of immunohistochemistry examination. Results: There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in NF-κB (p50) expression (p=0.005) following MBSE gel administration of 37.5% concentration on day 3 compared to day 5. Conclusion: It can be concluded that MBSE gel topical application can increase expression of NF-κB (p50) in traumatic ulcer healing.

Task allocation is an important concept not only in biological systems but also in artificial systems. This paper reports a case study of autonomous task allocation behavior in an evolutionary robotic swarm. We address a path-formation task that is a fundamental task in the field of swarm robotics. This task aims to generate the collective path that connects two different locations by using many simple robots. Each robot has a limited sensing ability with distance sensors, a ground sensor, and a coarse-grained omnidirectional camera to perceive its local environment and the limited actuators composed of two colored LEDs and two-wheeled motors. Our objective is to develop a robotic swarm with autonomous specialization behavior from scratch, by exclusively implementing a homogeneous evolving artificial neural network controller for the robots to discuss the importance of embodiment that is the source of congestion. Computer simulations demonstrate the adaptive collective behavior that emerged in a robotic swarm with various swarm sizes and confirm the feasibility of autonomous task allocation for managing congestion in larger swarm sizes.

Published: September 2018

We herein investigate the influence of object detection in deep learning. Based on using one neural network model and maintaining its primary network structure, we discuss the relationship between the detection accuracy with the scale of the training dataset and the network depth and width. We adopt the single factor experiment for each influence factor and create a test dataset including different types of object pictures. After each experiment, we first predict the average precision for the validation dataset and subsequently test the target pictures. The results of the experiment reveal that it is effective to improve the accuracy by enriching the training dataset. The more necessary features the training dataset has, the more precise are the results. Therefore, the network structure is a crucial factor, and adopting advanced models could be beneficial to obtain an excellent performance on sophisticated targets.
Special Issue on the Power of Fuzzy—Dedicated to the Father of Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Hata Yutaka , Kobashi Shoji , Nakajima Hiroshi
Published: September 2018

On September 6, 2017, we lost a great researcher, Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh, the one who introduced one of the most important mathematical concepts that gets a good rapport with reality. “Fuzzy Sets” was the paper he published in 1965. Many researchers and practitioners of mathematics, science, engineering, medicine, and economics found it fascinating. In Japan, consumer electronics incorporating ambiguity in human thought and behavior became popular. As these products became big topics, the term “fuzzy” also became popular in the 1990s.

This set of papers offers a sample of the expanding development of fuzzy logic and soft computing. One review paper is written by Prof. Takeshi Yamakawa, an internationally famous fuzzy researcher of fuzzy hardware systems. Four of these papers were selected through a peer review process. One, “Design of Fuzzy Logic Controller and its Distinctive Features” by Prof. Takeshi Yamakawa, describes the design of a fuzzy logic controller and its application to controlling mouse-platform stabilization. The distinctive features of fuzzy logic control are also discussed.

The first original paper, “MMMs-Induced Possibilistic Fuzzy Co-Clustering and its Characteristics” by Ubukata et al., describes an NPCCMM scheme by considering variable cluster volumes and the fuzziness degree of item memberships to investigate the specific aspects of fuzzy rather than probabilistic nature in co-clustering tasks. The second original paper, “Inner Evaluation of Writing in a Foreign Language Based on Expert Judgment for Correction” by Entani et al., proposes a method of numerically deriving each writer’s writing preference from an expert’s initial evaluation. Third, “A 3-Dimensional Fuzzy Linguistic Evaluation Model” by Suprasongsin et al., describes a new model for determining criteria weights in group decision-making problems, a model based on the concept of probabilistic linguistic terms. The fourth original paper, “Natural Language Generation Using Monte Carlo Tree Search” by Kumagai et al., proposes a method for generating simulation-based natural language. The method accounts for both building a correct syntactic structure and reflecting the given situational information as input in the sentences generated.

We appreciate Prof. Takeshi Yamakawa for the excellent review of fuzzy controllers. We also thank all of the authors who submitted original articles and all of the reviewers who offered their valuable comments and suggestions.

The Historic Caddo Component at the Roseborough Lake Site (41BW5) on the Red River in Bowie County, Texas
Authors: Perttula Timothy
Published: September 2018

The Roseborough Lake site (41BW5) is on an old meander of the Red River “that was cut off in 1872 and named Roseborough Lake." It lies a few miles west of other important Late Caddo and Historic Caddo period sites, and a few miles west of Texarkana in Bowie County.

The Roseborough Lake site is a large historic Caddo village occupied from the late 17th century until the late 18th century, with habitation features and cemeteries. It also is the location of a Nassonite post established by the French in the 1720s, known by the Spanish as San Luis de Cadohadacho. In this article I focus on the analysis of the historic Caddo archaeological material remains, in particular the Caddo ceramic vessel sherds, from the Roseborough Lake site in the Lawrence Head collection. These material remains were collected almost exclusively in 1990 and 1991 after a natural flood of the site by the Red River and then later in 1991 after the machine leveling of much of the site area for bean cultivation.
Determining and predicting correlation of macroeconomic indicators on credit risk caused by overdue credit
Authors: Tsintsadze Asie , Oniani Lela , Ghoghoberidze Tamar
Published: September 2018

The banking system guarantees the economic strength of the country. Its sustainability is due to the sustainability of the credit portfolio. Therefore, scientific research on banking risks is always relevant. Basel recommendations and central bank regulations provide risk minimization in case of default of borrower by creating risk reserve, but the high range of macroeconomic factors creates a basis for creating credit risk. The model, which determines the risk factors, may be structurally the same, but the quality of the influence of factors is different in various countries. The influence of macroeconomic factors is particularly evident in developing countries. The impact of economic factors in different countries is high in GDP of these countries. The article focuses on determining the influence of macroeconomic factors on credit risk of systematic banks in Georgia. The coefficients of individual macroeconomic indicators are calculated by using Pearson’s correlation. The credit risk ratio is taken from the bank’s overdue credits and credit portfolio ratio. Based on the correlation coefficients obtained, the expected risk of shock changes is calculated.

Abstract

It is interesting to reflect on the teaching of current and present time in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective, having as reference the analysis of some teaching practices of teachers of the private school of São Paulo. Thinking about the implications of teaching the present necessarily refers to the concerns of educators who seek to confront ideological polarization and the post-truth situation that mark the challenges of contemporary times. The article criticizes the notions of neutrality, impartiality and absolute truth. Finally, he invites the teacher to adopt an educational project aimed at a contemporary attitude towards the provisional analysis of the present time.

Keywords: Teaching of "news"; Present time; transdisciplinarity; plurality.
INTERLOCUÇÕES FAMÍLIA-ESCOLA DAS CRIANÇAS DAS CAMADAS POPULARES: UM OLHAR SOBRE OS SENTIDOS DO DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Pessanha Fabiana Nery de Lima , Araújo Mairce Da Silva
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo objetiva  colocar em debate alguns sentidos construídos sobre o direito à Educação Infantil, tendo como base alguns estudos e pesquisas realizadas a partir da inserção no cotidiano escolar, bem como, da escuta aos familiares de crianças das camadas populares. Inserimos nossas reflexões em um cenário em que a institucionalização da educação da infância tem se apresentado com grande complexidade sendo inserida, com cada vez maior ênfase, nas políticas sociais como um todo. Nesse contexto, problematizamos o tom monológico que tem configurado a relação família e  escola no cotidiano escolar, fazendo o exercício de buscar possibilidades outras para compreender a interlocução escolas-famílias, como caminhos possíveis para fortalecer a luta por uma educação mais democrática e de qualidade.
PERCEPÇÕES DE UNIDOCENTES SOBRE A EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

O espaço ocupado pela Educação Física no ambiente escolar vem sendo ampliado ao longo do tempo, sobretudo, em virtude de importantes reflexões sobre seu verdadeiro papel educacional. Os Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental têm-se apresentado como um local de importantes discussões a respeito da atuação dos professores unidocentes ou da possibilidade de atuação de professores especialistas. Desta forma, este estudo tem por objetivo identificar e refletir sobre as percepções de professores unidocentes sobre a Educação Física nos Anos Iniciais. . Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória com quinze professoras unidocentes que receberam em suas turmas de trabalho estagiários de um curso de Educação Física. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e os dados avaliados através de análise de conteúdo. Os achados apontam um panorama persistente, no qual a Educação Física vem sendo trabalhada de forma limitada, através de atividades recreativas e brincadeiras, em decorrência de uma formação ineficiente e inespecífica, na qual esta área do conhecimento pode estar sendo colocada em segundo plano. Em contraponto, os avanços da ciência podem estar servindo para desconstruir antigos paradigmas, abrindo espaço para que a Educação Física possa também ser reconhecida por sua influência positiva nos processos relacionados à cognição e à aprendizagem dos alunos.
A EDUCAÇÃO NA COMPLEXIDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Ramlow Romildo Ricardo , Berticelli Ireno Antônio
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo propõe apresentar a pesquisa em educação na contemporaneidade numa perspectiva condizente aos avanços científicos. A partir do paradigma da complexidade, a pesquisa em educação e o próprio ato educativo exigem uma nova forma de pensar e organizar as instituições de ensino. Sem abandonar outras formas de pensar e ensinar, o paradigma da complexidade é uma proposta de pensar integradora, globalizante e múltipla. Numa sociedade pós-moderna urge a necessidade dos educadores considerarem a complexidade como princípio pedagógico e pressuposto de todo conhecimento, uma vez que a educação sugere a complexa tensão entre conservação e inovação. Reconhecemos que não é possível estabelecer limites e conclusões em definitivo quando optamos tratar da pesquisa em educação sob a ótica da complexidade. Este trabalho apenas teve a pretensão de tratar a educação na contemporaneidade devido às exigências frente à realidade planetária e as demandas sociais, políticas e econômicas. A reforma do pensamento e das instituições foi e sempre será uma necessidade contemporânea de todos aqueles envolvidos com a educação justificando a importância de novas perspectivas epistemológicas.

Published: September 2018

The leakage of water supply pipeline is a common problem in the world. Timely discovery and treatment of leakage can avoid drinking water pollution, save water resources or avoid road collapse accidents. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study pipeline leak detection methods. In this experiment, piezoelectric acceleration sensors were placed in different locations of a leak pipe to acquire the leakage signals. According to the generation mechanism of leak acoustic signals, the unpredictability characteristics of leak signal are investigated. The autocorrelation function is used to describe the unpredictability of the leak signal because it has the ability to analyze the coherent structure of time series, and the Lyapunov exponent can describe its complexity. The autocorrelation function sequence is used as featured extraction object. The Lyapunov exponent of this sequence is used to quantify the signal characteristics. By this method, the leakage can be effectively identified.

The CFD simulations are carried out for the flows in a helical gas-liquid separator, which is installed at the inlet of the electric submersible pump (ESP) to separate gas from gas-liquid mixture and keep the efficiency of the pump. The effects of mass flux, curvature and helix angle on two-phase pressure drop have been investigated. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, it is found that the mass flux of two-phase flow and the curvature of spiral passage have influence on pressure drop, while the spiral angle has little effect on pressure loss.

Published: September 2018

The paper presents a study regarding the effect of the friction coefficient on the behavior of structures isolated by friction pendulums. A laboratory-scale structure and its model created in SolidWorks are employed in the research. The excitation, ensured by a shaking table, follows a displacement after sinusoidal and complex rules. The study revealed the frequency at which the chosen friction pendulum assures efficient isolation is higher then 3 Hz irrespective to the friction coefficient. Experimental results coincide with those obtained from simulations.
Scour depth around multiple piles for current and wave

Published: September 2018

Experiments on scour around multiple piles were carried out for several current and wave conditions: pile numbers were 1, 3, and 7; and wave only, current only, and current and wave flows. A moderate wave condition was chosen as the representative wave, which produced relatively small scour depth. A depth-average current speed was chosen as the representative current, which produced relatively large scour hole. When waves were superimposed on current, scour hole depth decreased. Existing the Sumer and Fredsøe’s prediction formula of scour hole depth for current and wave flows for multiple piles describes the present experimental results reasonably well.
