Martial Arts in Search of Transcendence
Authors: Le “Joey” Alan ,   Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Published: November 2022

This essay argues that martial arts, especially Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), mediate the divine attributes of beauty, goodness, and truth just as much as the fine arts. Some may question the compatibility of martial arts with Christianity. Yet, according to the just war doctrine, fighting is permissible when defending oneself and others. Furthermore, instead of doing nothing about evil or injustice (pacifism) and escalating to violent killing, jiu-jitsu as a distinctive martial arts presents the creative alternative of nonviolence. The essay considers various ways in which martial arts point to God through the analogy of being and the Tao. Jiu-jitsu resonates with Christian notions of perichoresis, self-awareness, rightness, flow, mystery, theosis, and epektasis. BJJ is beautiful in how it inspires existential wonder at the unique and particular gifts of the other. It searches for truth pragmatically and ethically, in a quest for combat effectiveness and social sustainability. Jiu-jitsu is good as it fosters inclusivity, respect, selflessness, and philanthropy.
A conduta marcial inglesa na Guerra dos Cem Anos: um estudo sobre os ditames morais do conflito ao final da Idade Média (1400 – 1453)
Authors: Santos Fernando Pereira dos
Published: November 2022

Ao longo da primeira metade do século XV, o reino da França testemunhou expedições militares inglesas contra porções de seus domínios. Sob o pretexto de fazer cumprir o pleito dos monarcas Lancaster ao trono continental, a governação daqueles territórios durante a ocupação inglesa até primórdios da década de 1450 foi marcada, segundo relatos conhecidos, por instabilidades decorrentes da conduta inadequada dos guerreiros de um lado e de outro da contenda. Tais descaminhos foram alvo das inquietações registradas por letrados, a exemplo de William Worcester (1415-1480/5?), o qual denunciou em seu tratado Boke of Noblesse um fazer bélico contemporâneo descompassado, pouco virtuoso e marcado por desvios, distante, pois, dos modelos recomendados aos cristãos. Dessa forma, tão imprescindível quanto questionar características das empreitadas marciais por parte dos adversários franceses, os homens do quatrocentos julgaram ser incontornável o arrazoamento acerca do descomedimento dos próprios guerreiros ingleses, afinal, quando comparadas, as reflexões coevas apontam para a inobservância de elementos morais como o fator determinante de insucessos bélicos. Ao atentar para tal aspecto, o objetivo da presente obra é perquirir o que se julgou condenável no empreendimento das contendas, interrogando, a partir da produção escrita inglesa, a redefinição dos caminhos para a condução do conflito e dos planos de conquista. Em síntese, o livro em questão dispõe-se a questionar sobre uma fração particular da história da guerra: os juízos e avaliações morais sobre os combatentes, esmiuçando seu papel como espelho para interpretar a derrota inglesa em um dos mais significativos conflitos da Idade Média: a Guerra dos Cem Anos (1337 – 1453).

Authors: Alhowimel Ahmed , Alodaibi Faris , Khayat Yaaqoub , Alsobayel Hana , AlKassabi Othman
Published: November 2022

Purpose: The neuromuscular system of soccer players is a key factor in their competitive performance, as it determines a player's immediate force response, reactivity and running speed during matches. The neuromuscular system has recently begun to be analyzed by tensiomyography (TMG). This study's primary aim was to generate normative data of the mechanical and neuromuscular profile for the knee extensor and flexor muscles.
Method: This study used a cross-sectional study of 83 professional soccer players from three Saudi Premier League teams at the start of the preseason period. TMG was used to measure the radial muscle belly displacement in the knee extensor and flexor muscles in both legs.
Results: The results suggest that the highest degree of symmetry corresponded to the vastus medialis (83.7 ± 14.3%) and the lowest to the biceps femoris (76.1 ± 10.9%). No statistical difference was found between the dominant and non-dominant muscles, or between on-field player positions across all four tested muscles.
Conclusion: The study presented normative data of a convenience sample of Saudi professional soccer players and observed that the highest asymmetry was seen in the vastus medialis and the lowest asymmetry in the biceps femoris.

Propósito: El sistema neuromuscular de los jugadores de fútbol es un factor clave en su desempeño competitivo, ya que determina la respuesta de fuerza inmediata de un jugador, la reactividad y la velocidad de carrera durante los partidos. Recientemente se ha comenzado a analizar el sistema neuromuscular mediante tensiomiografía (TMG). El objetivo principal de este estudio fue generar datos normativos del perfil mecánico y neuromuscular de los músculos extensores y flexores de la rodilla.
Método: Este estudio utilizó un estudio transversal de 83 futbolistas profesionales de tres equipos de la Liga Premier de Arabia Saudita al comienzo del período de pretemporada. La TMG se utilizó para medir el desplazamiento del vientre del músculo radial en los músculos extensores y flexores de la rodilla en ambas piernas.
Resultados: Los resultados sugieren que el mayor grado de simetría correspondió al vasto medial (83,7 ± 14,3%) y el menor al bíceps femoral (76,1 ± 10,9%). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticas entre los músculos dominantes y no dominantes, o entre las posiciones del jugador en el campo en los cuatro músculos evaluados.
Conclusión: El estudio presentó datos normativos de una muestra de conveniencia de futbolistas profesionales sauditas y observó que la mayor asimetría se observó en el vasto interno y la menor asimetría en el bíceps femoral.

Authors: Salas Sánchez Maria Isabel , Vidal Conti Josep
Published: November 2022

La OMS recomienda a los niños y jóvenes realizar un total de 60 minutos diarios de actividad física moderada o vigorosa. El patio, por tanto, puede convertirse en un aliado para conseguir la mitad del tiempo recomendado si éste se estructura y organiza de manera óptima. Se ha realizado una búsqueda sistemática de artículos publicados entre los años 2013 y noviembre de 2021. El resultado final, después de los descartes, es de 23 artículos que describen las intervenciones que se establecen en un total de ocho países en 270 centros escolares y que incluyen más de 13000 alumnos. Los resultados de la mayoría de estos estudios indican que las estrategias analizadas sí tienen el potencial de incrementar la actividad física durante el recreo. Los principales hallazgos hacen incidencia en intervenir en: las condiciones de contexto, en las disponibilidades de equipo de juego, en la presencia del adulto-supervisor, en las marcas de juegos y en la cantidad de equipamiento. La actividad física durante el recreo puede aumentar a través de una intervención multicomponente. El éxito depende del compromiso de adultos activos y solidarios y de las instalaciones variadas, conectadas y bien ubicadas.

For delivering the cloud services over the internet, cloud computing has become proficient infrastructural model for hosting cloud services. Server virtualization is key technology that enables cloud computing as a service, which authorizes dynamic sharing of physical resources. Virtualization introduces the problem of virtual machine placement that increases the overheads in load balancing. Existing infrastructure needs the strategy for the VM Placement as it may create poor allocation and load balancing issues. In most of the cases, due to lack of input parameters physical machines are partially loaded that creates issue of fragmentation which leads to in sufficient resources that causes more utilization of physical machines in any infrastructure. We did extensive survey in the said domain and found that, In load balancing approach, when VM place mentis done without measuring its lifetime, that creates fragments on PM. So we propose dynamic priority based spill over technique and add the concept of short life/long life container for solving the fragmentation issue.

There has been underlying problem in Kilifi County that the research study sought to look into; that despite the remarkable increase of mothers in socio- economic activities in the county, little had been done to analyze the reason as to why the pre-school children’s school participation in learning was still very low. The investigation also looked into the influence of mothers’ income and occupation, level of mothers’ education and their attitude towards preschool children’s school participation in learning. Importance of investing in early years of children and how it relates to children’s school participation was also looked into. The rationale of this study was to shed dipper light and increase greater understanding on the influence of mothers’ socio- economic engagement on pre-school children to as many stakeholders of pre-school education as possible. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with a sample of 195 children, 23 teachers, and 11 mothers’ representatives on board. Questionnaires were used to gather information from pre-school teachers, observation schedules from children while interview schedules were employed to assemble information from socio-economic engaged mothers. Thematic techniques were used to manage qualitative data from questionnaires after the data had been analyzed through statistics. Target population of this study were mothers’ representatives, pre-school teachers and children in Kilifi County. With regard to the first objective, the study findings disclosed that there was a significant positive correlation between mother’s occupation and income level and children’s school participation in Kilifi County. A significant positive correlation between mothers’ level of education and children’s school participation in learning in the county was also shown by the study. Findings also showed that there was a significance positive correlation between mothers attitude towards educational and school participation in Kilifi County.

The total phenol content of four common paddy cultivars of Odisha namely Abhisek (R), Manik (MR), Bas-12 (S) and Lalat (HS) were studied under pot culture condition in the net house following CRD design under different treatments using biofertilizer Azospirillum. brasilense alone or in combinations against rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola. The objective of  the work was to study the quantitative changes in phenolic compounds content and the effect of  A.brasilense in the induction of phenolic compounds on the test nematode. It was observed  that there was a significant increase in total phenol content in both resistant and moderately resistant paddy cultivars Abhisek and Manik in treatment T2  (Azospirillum brasilense @ 12kg/ha at 15DAT + M. graminicola @ 1000J2 after 7days of Azospirillum inoculation) were seen higher than the susceptible variety Bas-12 and highly susceptible variety Lalat  as compared  to control T5 with increase percentage of 38.77%, 36.58%, 35.02% and 39.28% respectively in shoots. Similarly the trend was continued in roots containing total phenol content of 0.25mg/g  in Abhisek, 0.18mg/g  in Manik, 0.21mg/g in Bas-12 and 0.19mg/g in Lalat as compared to  other treatments. There were increase in percentage of change (p≤0.05) in roots under treatment T3 (A alone) in all the four varieties followed by T2 (A→N), and T1 (N→A) with respect to control T5. Basically, shoots of control plants in all four cultivars were observed more content of phenolic compounds than their roots. But after M. graminicola invasion and the action of A. brasilense the amount increased  in both the roots and shoots of all the cultivars.

Aims: Conversion of land from forest to cropping has a serious effect on soil phosphorus and its fractions

Results: Land use is now widely understood to be a primary factor in environmental change across all time and space scales. The purpose of this research was to ascertain how different land uses affected the concentration of phosphorus in soil. Soil phosphorus (P) reserves are depleted when land is converted from natural vegetation to permanent agricultural cropping. The transformation of North-Western Himalayas from a forest-dominated to a grassland-dominated ecosystem is just one example of the diversity of land significantly less soil aggregation occurred when agricultural land was cleared of its native vegetation. Total organic carbon in soils was reduced when grassland was converted to cropland.  Reduced total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations by 62-79% and organic phosphorus (Po) concentrations by 47-53%. Even though, the total silt+clay fraction's contribution was negligible, it contained a significant amount of C and Po reserves and the C/Po ratio has been holding fairly steady, they have proven to be more robust. This impact of cropping on soil P reserves has been demonstrated in research, but changing land use practices can alleviate these problems significantly.

The use of plants in the treatment of human diseases is as old as human itself. Over the years, phytomedicine has gained more attention in both developed and developing countries. This study evaluates the phytochemicals and the antioxidant properties of a formulated herbal product (FHP) made from the leaf sheath of Sorghum bicolor, rhizome of Curcuma longa, stem bark of Bridelia ferruginea and honey. The ethanolic and the aqueous extracts of the different components and the mixture were evaluated. The chemical compositions of the extracts were determined via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HP-LC) at the same time, the antioxidant properties were investigated using the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The results of the phytochemical screening of FHP and the different components used for its preparation showed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, saponins, tannins and flavonoids irrespective of the extractant used. However, the values were higher in the aqueous extracts than the ethanolic extracts for most of the phytochemicals. For instance, higher values of alkaloids (9.57±0.01 mg/g) and saponins (7.35±0.01 mg/g) were observed in the aqueous extract of FHP while higher values of phenol (0.98±0.01 mg/g), tannins (0.68±0.00 mg/g) and flavonoids (40.54±0.05mg/g) were observed in the aqueous extract of Curcuma longa. Concerning antioxidant potential, the highest FRAP power was observed in the stem bark of B. ferruginea (1956.05±15.54mgAAE/g). This was closely followed by the FRAP value observed in S. bicolor (1359.89±27.20mgAAE/g). A total of 8 compounds was identified using High performance Liquid chromatography. These compounds include Gallic acid, Catechin, Ferrulic acid, Rutin, Quercetin, P-coumaric acid, Kaempferol and Apigenin. Most of these chemicals are known to possess health beneficial and therapeutic effects. It is conceivable therefore that FHP might exert significant therapeutic effects when used to treat specific debilitating medical conditions.

Introduction: This study, sought to assess the effects of age, education, years of operation and gender on antecedents of corporate entrepreneurship (CE), self-efficacy and desirability, and corporate entrepreneurship competencies of employees.

Methods: This is a quantitative cross-sectional study among 400 employees of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. Pretested questionnaires were used for the data collection. Independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were employed to analyse the data. Statistical significance was declared at p<0.05.

Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the views of male and female employees in terms of competitive intensity. There were statistically significant differences in employees’ views regarding organisational factors. Also, there were statistically significant differences between the various levels of education with regard to employees self-efficacy and desirability. Again, the results show that the highest level of education of employees has statistically significant effect on their corporate entrepreneurship competencies regarding innovativeness, proactiveness, personal competence, personal initiative and risk-taking ability. In terms of years of operation, there was a statistically significant differences in relation to environmental factors.

Conclusion: It is recommended to owners/managers of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and policy makers in the sector to ensure that policies which involve promotion of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and intrapreneurial competencies are properly implemented devoid of gender and age biases to enable larger proportion of the population get employed in the sector and also have the opportunity to acquire the needed intrapreneurial knowledge, skills and competencies.

Aim: to identify the experience with COVID-19 and mental health-related symptoms of Brazilian adults from November to December 2021. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with online data collection and non-probabilistic sampling. Exploratory questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale were used. Prevalence of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 or not according to demographic characteristics and mental health-related symptoms were estimated by 95% confi dence interval. Prevalence according to symptomatology (asymptomatic, symptomatic without hospitalization, or symptomatic with hospitalization) was also estimated among individuals who tested positive. Participants’ feelings and perceptions regarding the pandemic context were analyzed using Descendant Hierarchical Classifi cation (DHC). Results: 4,665 people participated in the study (mean age=38.9; SD=14.1) years) and 18.3% reported having tested positive for COVID-19 (11.2% asymptomatic, 83.7% symptoms without hospitalization and 5.1% hospitalized). Symptomatic participants more frequently reported that the pandemic is a trauma while asymptomatic participants had signifi cantly lower prevalence than those who have never tested positive for COVID-19. The sample presented a high prevalence of anxiety, anguish, fear, and insomnia. Prevalence of depressive symptoms was lower in participants who were asymptomatic than in those who have never tested positive for COVID-19 (OR=0.586 [CI95%=0.390-0.879]). Overall, mean scores of depression, anxiety, and stress of the asymptomatic participants were lower than those obtained in other groups. Conclusion: Mental health symptoms were highly prevalent in Brazilian adults. There was a lower prevalence of symptoms among those who have tested positive for COVID-19 and were asymptomatic compared to those who have never tested positive for COVID-19.Keywords: mental health, pandemic, COVID-19, anxiety, stress.
