Published: August 2024

Post-activation performance enhancement is a principle that suggests that an acute bout of high intensity voluntary exercise will be followed by an improvement in strength, power, jump and speed of a subsequent task. This study aimed to investigate changes in 15 s repetitive vertical jump performance after one set (1 x 10 repetitions) or three sets (3 x 10 repetitions) of tuck jumps conditioning activity. Twelve male (age 21.6 ± 1.5 years) trained volleyball players participated in this study. The participants performed three experimental sessions with a randomized, counterbalanced, and crossover research design: a-) single set of tuck jump (SJ); b-) multiset of tuck jump (MJ); and c-) control (CON). Each experimental session was composed of a standard warm-up, conditioning activity, 5 minutes of rest, and then 15 s vertical jump test, respectively. Peak (p=0.029) and average (p=0.018) jump height, peak (p=0.029) and average (p = 0.007) power output were significantly greater in SJ than CON. No significant differences were observed in the fatigue index between conditions (p=0.657). Overall, there were no significant differences in any parameters between MJ and CON and between SJ and MJ (p>0.05). These results showed that a SJ could improve repetitive vertical jump performance in trained male volleyball players, but caution should be given while using MJ before trainings or matches including activities with repetitive jumping.

Authors: Sember Vedrana , Premelč Jerneja
Published: August 2024

Physical activity and physical fitness are well-documented contributors to overall health, affecting various physiological and psychological outcomes. While some studies have reported a positive impact on academic performance, others have not found significant effects. Given these mixed results, the aim of this meta-analysis is to explore the effects of physical activity and physical fitness specifically on academic performance. Aadditionally, the research will examine whether the competencies of teachers delivering the physical activity interventions significantly influence the implementation of the intervention and how this impact manifests in the academic performance of children and adolescents. The Meta-Analysis will include searches in PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. The results will be crucial for understanding how measured physical fitness, in addition to increased physical activity, influences the academic performance of children and adolescents. By identifying the most effective types of interventions and the critical role of instructor competence, we can guide the development of more targeted and effective physical activity programs.
Solidaridad, ¿de qué y entre quiénes? A propósito del debate sobre la justificación de los impuestos y el gasto público
Authors: Blanco Andrés
Published: August 2024

La justificación de los impuestos, que fue objeto de un número de Discusiones, suele centrarse en sus aspectos estrictamente normativos, pero usualmente da por supuestas, sin discusión, ciertas premisas teóricas acerca sus funciones y efectos que provienen de la teoría neoclásica. En particular, se asume que los impuestos son el requisito previo para la ejecución del gasto público. Sin embargo, existen otros marcos teóricos diferentes al neoclásico, como por ejemplo el poskeynesianismo, en los cuales los impuestos no son la condición previa del gasto público, sino un mecanismo de control de la masa monetaria, con lo cual las razones fácticas para justificarlos en general desaparecen o se atenúan. En su lugar, el gasto público, considerado autónomamente, pasa a tener un lugar central en una propuesta de solidaridad a partir de las finanzas públicas. En un marco teórico poskeynesiano no se descarta que los impuestos puedan tener un efecto redistributivo, pero ello depende de dos elementos también teóricos que normalmente no están presentes en los debates normativos sobre el sistema impositivo: la traslación e incidencia de la carga impositiva.

Cuando se toman en cuenta estos fenómenos, la justificación de uno o más impuestos no concierne a su estructura jurídica visible, sino a su aptitud de no trasladarse y no incidir en las personas de más bajos ingresos. Más estrictamente, la discusión sobre la “justicia impositiva” debería subsumirse en un problema de “justicia de las finanzas públicas”.
Las normas de comportamiento como artefactos deónticos
Authors: Mañalich Raffo Juan Pablo
Published: August 2024

El artículo presenta una conceptualización de las normas de comportamiento punitivamente reforzadas a partir de una clarificación de su estatus ontológico. Tras dar cuenta de algunas controversias doctrinales que muestran la importancia de esa indagación, ofrezco una caracterización crítica de las dos concepciones en torno de las cuales ha tendido a girar el debate contemporáneo acerca de la ontología de las normas en el campo de la teoría del derecho, conocidas como la concepción “expresiva” y la concepción “hilética”. En oposición a estas, sostengo que una concepción “artefactualista” está en mejores condiciones para servir como punto de partida en la elaboración de una teoría de las normas para los sistemas de derecho penal, purgada de todo resabio imperativista.

Vermitechnology in Organic Waste Recycling: A Step Towards Sustainable Ecosystems in Guyana
Authors:   University of Guyana, Ansari Abdullah
Published: August 2024

In recent years, the disposal of organic wastes from domestic, agricultural and industrial sources has caused increasing environmental concerns. In this regard, the recycling of utilizable waste is feasible. This can be solved by a combination of effective technologies such as Biodung composting and Vermitech (incorporating earthworms for the production of vermicompost). The present work was carried out during the year 2006-2007 at the University of Guyana, Georgetown to recycle grass clippings, water hyacinth and cattle dung by using Eiseniafetida the locally available surface species of earthworm. The results indicated that the organic waste (grass clippings and water hyacinth) were successfully processed through partial biodung composting and vermicomposting during a period of 60 days. The temperature study during biodung composting showed a two peak rise of temperature resulting in destruction of harmful microbes. Subsequent vermicomposting resulted in production of vermicompost confirming to an excellent nutrient status recorded in earlier experiments. The temperature during vermicomposting showed that fluctuation was restricted to 0.83. Organic amendments like vermicompost increase the organic matter content necessary for the maintenance of soil properties, which is beneficial for long-term sustainability and crop productivity. It is therefore proposed that large-scale production of vermicompost through vermitech to recycle organic waste could effectively help in managing solid waste, and farmers could apply vermicompost thus produced for assisted crop production. This could lead to a suitable environment-friendly effort towards a balanced ecosystem.

Concept and Modeling of Participation Opportunity for Large-Scale Renewable Energy Plants
Authors: Liegl Theresa , Goeller Toni , Schramm Simon
Published: August 2024

Citizen participation in the energy transition is desirable for many reasons: it increases acceptance of renewable energies, fulfils the wish to make one's own contribution to the energy transition and generates relevant parts of the necessary capital for the transformation of the energy system. This paper presents a scalable participation concept for the German legal framework which allows citizens to invest in and partially consume electricity from large-scale renewable energy plants at the time of generation. The developed concept provides a method for direct financial involvement via a direct contract with local electricity suppliers and virtual self-consumption by matching demand with PV generation – without the need for property ownership or new subsidies. Different consumer types and participants shares of a large-scale PV plant are modelled and simulated for the years 2019-2021. The financial advantage of citizen participation depends on the type of energy generation plant, yearly (solar) yield, on the remuneration for the surplus energy quantity, on the electricity procurement costs, on the customer's energy consumption, on the amount, and time flexibility and others. This paper shows that all analysed consumer types have the potential to profit from the model every year, although simulations are dependent on variable annual factors and assume the energy supplier's short-term procurement. The approach’s scalability and organizational simplicity could expedite the development of local participatory projects and contribute significantly to Germany's energy transition.

Authors: Nguyễn Minh Nhật , Anh Phan Ngoc Mai
Published: August 2024

This research investigates the impact of income diversification on the financial outcomes of commercial banks in Vietnam. The analysis utilizes financial reports from 26 Vietnamese commercial banks spanning from 2012 to 2022. A variety of analytical methods, including the Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, Fixed Effects Model (FEM), Random Effects Model (REM), and System Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM) models, were employed to evaluate the data. The findings suggest that diversifying income streams enhances the financial health of commercial banks. The case of Vietnamese banks indicates that bank growth and an increase in borrowing activities positively influence financial results. Additionally, it is recommended for banks to manage deposit ratios of customers and lower the ratio of loan loss provisions to optimize financial performance.

Kim and Ko developed second order slope rotatable designs (SOSRD) of second type utilizing central composite designs (CCD), in which two numbers are used to represent the positions of star points. In this paper, we suggest second type SOSRD utilizing symmetrical unequal block arrangements (SUBA) with two unequal block sizes. In some cases, the suggested method may develop designs containing fewer design points than second type SOSRD obtained utilizing CCD, pairwise balanced designs (PBD) and balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD). The first order partial derivative's for estimated second order response variance for factors 6≤v≤15 is also obtained.

Authors: Bokary Allaye Kelly  , Amadou Malé Kouyaté  , Sidiki Gabriel Dembélé
Published: August 2024

Flowering and fruiting of Parkia biglobosa were monitored along the north–south climatic gradient in Mali. Three sites (Somasso, Zanzoni and Diou) were concerned. Adult trees were monitored in field and fallow stands. Significant variations of flowering and fruiting were observed according to site and stand. The onset of phenological events started earlier in the south and progressed toward the north. Four to five months of flowering and three to four months of fruiting were observed in all sites. The trend of flowering and fruiting was similar for fields and fallows. The difference between sites like that between stands was not significant for the length of flowering and of fruiting. The number of flowering trees varied according to year and stand in all sites. At Somasso 100% of trees in the fallow stand flowered all years, while in the field stand, it fluctuated from 93% in 2019 and 2020 to 100% in 2021. At Zanzoni, 100% of trees in field stand flowered all years, while in the fallow stands it fluctuated from 93% in 2019 and 2021 to 73% in 2020. At Diou, 60% of trees in the fallow stand flowered all years, while in the fields it fluctuated from 73% in 2019 and 2020 to 77% in 2021. The trend of fruiting was similar to that of flowering. The results indicate that phenological events of P. biglobosa are controlled by an intrinsic force and they can be influenced by other factors, such as management practices.
Una caracterización de los flujos migratorios hacia España y otros países de la Unión Europea
Authors: Cuadrado Pilar , Luis Gómez Ángel , Sastre Teresa
Published: August 2024

Motivación

España se ha convertido en uno de los países europeos con mayores flujos de entrada de inmigrantes en relación con su población. Este artículo compara las características de los inmigrantes que llegan a España con las de aquellos que se dirigen a otros países de la Unión Europea (UE), según su origen, sexo, edad, educación y contribución al mercado laboral.

Ideas principales

•En España, los inmigrantes proceden principalmente de Latinoamérica, por lo que constituyen un colectivo más homogéneo y culturalmente más próximo al país de destino que los que se dirigen a otros países europeos. En general, tienen mayor edad y nivel educativo, y hay mayor presencia de mujeres.

•Desde la crisis financiera global, ha aumentado la edad media y el nivel educativo de los inmigrantes en los cuatro mayores países de la UE, más intensamente en España.

•La tasa de actividad de los extranjeros que residen en España es una de las más elevadas de la UE y, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en otros países, superior a la de los nacionales, contribuyendo en mayor medida al aumento de la oferta laboral.

•Los trabajadores extranjeros suelen concentrarse en actividades que no requieren una formación elevada, aunque, recientemente, hay indicios de cierto desplazamiento a sectores de mayor cualificación.
The Paradoxical Sources of Illiberalism: A Synoptic Approach to the Genealogies of Illiberalism
Authors: Demias-Morisset Raphaël
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to explore the implications of the essentially contested nature of the concept of liberalism in the conceptualization of illiberalism in order to understand the existence of misunderstandings and contradictions in the delimitation and definition of the concept within illiberalism studies. To this end, we seek to show that the contributions of linguistic political theory, inspired by the work of Wittgenstein, are are to describe and understand the conflicts that illiberalism can raise. Indeed, since liberalism is both an ideology and an analytical concept, it is difficult to define the latter without arbitrating the ideological conflicts between the “liberals pretenders”. As the synoptic comparison of the genealogies of illiberalism found in the literature shows, these conflicts are transcribed in the conceptualization of illiberalism, in a more or less imperceptible way, and are sometimes instrumentalized to invert the function and content of the concept. Consequently, our hypothesis is that the notion of "grammar" is useful in clarifying the fact that the concept of illiberalism has a different function and purpose depending on what is considered liberalism and the liberal tradition, which ultimately allows us to assess the coherence and relevance of the concept's use.
Illiberal Ideas: An Anatomy of Intellectual Historians and Illiberalism
Authors: Lok Matthijs
Published: August 2024

In this contribution, I discuss the complex role of intellectual historians in the study of antiliberalism and illiberalism. I briefly explore the politics of intellectual history, focusing on Stephen Holmes’ book Anatomy of Antiliberalism and on the rupture and appropriation of conservative ideological heritages by contemporary self-styled national conservatives. The subsequent section deals with the European amnesia of traditions of illiberalism. I argue that illiberalism in the European context should be studied from a longer historical perspective, beginning in the Napoleonic era, than just the post-1989 period.

La producción de forrajes de calidad es la base para el desarrollo de la ganadería y para la producción de alimentos para el consumo humano. La investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el valor nutricional del pasto Estrella Africana (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst.) fertilizantes orgánicos e inorgánicos así como tres edades de cosecha. El experimento se realizó en la provincia de Cartago, Costa Rica, entre los meses de mayo a octubre de los años 2019 y 2021. Se utilizó diseño en bloques completamente aleatorizados (DBCA) y fue analizado mediante un modelo lineal generalizado que incluyó edad de cosecha, año y tipo de fertilizante como factores principales. Los resultados indican que no hubo efecto del tipo de fertilizante (p > 0,05) sobre las variables nutritivas de la pastura. Las edades de cosecha mostraron efecto (p < 0,05) en la materia seca (MS), proteína cruda (PC) y digestibilidad in vitro de la MS (DIVMS), teniendo valores más altos para edades de cosecha de 45 días. Las variables aFDN, FDA, LDA, ED, EM y ENL aumentaron conforme aumentó la edad de cosecha y las variables DIVFDN y TDN disminuyeron al aumentarse dicho factor. Los hallazgos muestran la relación directa entre los componentes nutritivos de la pastura y los días de cosecha, confirmando que el manejo de pasturas permite lograr cosechas de biomasa forrajera de alta calidad y mejorar el aporte de nutrientes para los bovinos.

Authors: Hick Michel Victor Hubert , Frank Eduardo Narciso , Castillo María Flavia , Prieto Alejandro , Flores Gutiérrez Alfonso
Published: August 2024

Al noroeste de Abra Pampa, en la Puna Jujeña, existen comunidades originarias que buscan conocer la calidad de la fibra y así mitigar la incertidumbre y promover la esquila de los animales. Se realizó un primer relevamiento poblacional en 5 comunidades originarias (CO) conformado por 27 tropas, 1842 animales. Se obtuvieron 1473 muestras de vellón las cuales fueron enviadas al laboratorio donde se clasificó por criterios de calidad de fibra (CCF): finura de mecha (FM), tipo de mecha (TM) y pigmentación de mecha (PM). Complementariamente se determinó el diámetro de fibra (DF) y la longitud de mecha (LF). Para los tres CCF se calcularon frecuencias relativas medias y errores estándar ponderados por los tamaños de tropa. Además, se realizó una prueba de homogeneidad de proporciones de los CCF para la población y una prueba de independencia para verificar su asociación con comunidad. Para DF y LM se realizó un análisis no paramétrico. En cuanto a FM, la variante fina es la más frecuente y junto a la súper fina suman el 70 % aproximadamente, siendo variantes <25,0 µm. Respecto a TM, predominan los vellones simple capa (47,54 %), existe también una importante cantidad de doble capa (36,61 %) y además lustre (15,86 %). Respecto a PM, el crudo es la variante predominante (62,24 %). En las pruebas de homogeneidad de proporciones y de independencia se observó en todos los casos valores altamente significativos del estadístico de prueba. El DF encontrado fue 24,66±0,09 µm y la LM fue 15,33±0,13 cm, existiendo diferencias significativas para CO. Estos resultados muestran una fibra con un importante potencial textil. Se requiere incorporar una esquila periódica y dada la variabilidad de los CCF, es necesario un sistema de clasificación y tipificación. En su procesamiento se requiere el descerdado sobre todo para los vellones doble capa.

The liver organoid's past, present and future: a personalized medicine strategy
Authors: Abady Mariam , Zahran Ibrahim A , Elmokhtar Yasmin
Published: August 2024

Organoids are three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems derived from human pluripotent stem cells or organotypic differentiation, replicating the complex interactions and functionalities of actual organs. These systems offer significant advantages for studying human tissue and organ biology, addressing limitations of animal models related to sample accessibility and ethical concerns. Liver organoids, in particular, are advanced models developed to study hepatic phenotypes, encompassing various cell types and enabling detailed investigation of cellular, molecular, and genetic aspects of liver diseases, drug metabolism, and protein secretion. They hold promise for fundamental research, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine applications. Despite their potential, organoids face limitations such as simplicity, lack of high-fidelity cell types, flexibility, and atypical physiology. Enhancements in organotypic liver-like surrogates, incorporating in vivo-like cell interactions and architecture, along with advancements in microfluidic chip technology, are expected to improve models for disease, toxicity, and drug discovery, paving the way for new treatments. This review will provide an overview of the history and development of liver organoids, their current progress, challenges, applications, and future prospects in the field of personalized medicine.

Evaluating the Impact of Opioid-free Anesthesia Protocol on Provider Utilization: A Pilot Study at 2 Southeastern US Hospitals
Authors: Newton Rebecca , Leontyev Ruvim , Gegel Brian , Baribeault Tom
Published: August 2024

Objective: Perioperative opioid medications are implicated as contributors to the opioid crisis and associated with significant negative side effects that complicate recovery, leading to increased hospitalization and healthcare costs. Implementation of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) hospital protocols may be an effective strategy to familiarize healthcare providers with non-opioid strategies for treating perioperative pain. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive pilot study was conducted at 2 Southeastern US Hospitals with a preexisting OFA policy. An electronic survey was developed and distributed to the anesthesia departments with an OFA protocol for bariatric surgical procedures. The responses (n=14) were analyzed, and the qualitative data thematically categorized. Results: Two major and one minor theme emerged. Theme 1: utilizing an OFA protocol led to increased familiarity and a desire to utilize OFA in other surgical populations. Theme 2: implementation of regional anesthesia into a multimodal OFA plan improves pain management and perioperative team support. Minor Theme: opioid sparing may be preferable to OFA techniques among a minority of anesthesia providers. Conclusion: OFA protocol promoted familiarity and favorable attitude towards OFA techniques. Participants reported an increased willingness to utilize OFA beyond protocol requirements. Therefore, hospital protocol may be a useful tool to drive evidence-based anesthesia and pain management practice change.

A rotina clínica na área de medicina veterinária é reconhecida, dentre tantas razões, por ser bastante exaustiva, exercendo impacto significativo na saúde mental desses profissionais, que, em meio a correria dos atendimentos, precisam lidar também com situações como: desvalorização profissional, sobrecarga de trabalho, fadiga por compaixão, eutanásia de pacientes e até mesmo testemunho de violência animal. O grau notável de exaustão no ambiente de trabalho é conhecido como síndrome de burnout (um distúrbio psíquico originado pela exaustão extrema relacionada ao trabalho de um indivíduo). A saúde mental plena é um tópico de considerável importância, sobretudo quando se está tratando de profissionais que precisam cuidar do bem-estar de outros seres vivos. Diante disso, o atual trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a forma com a qual a saúde mental, na prática de médicos veterinários, é explorada e abordada por autores nos últimos 10 anos e a importância da busca por suporte profissional nessa área. Para este fim, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa com materiais dos últimos 10 anos, usando as plataformas PubMed, sciELO, BVS-VET e Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES. Os descritores utilizados foram: “veterinária”, “saúde mental”, “burnout” e suas variações na língua inglesa e espanhola, escolhidos seguindo as diretrizes dos Descritores em Ciência da Saúde (DeCS). Como resultado, foram encontrados 31 trabalhos que passaram pelos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restando apenas 18 materiais para serem lidos na íntegra.
Unsuspected Postpartum Complication: A Case Report of a Post Cesarean Gastric Rupture
Authors: Zahler-Miller Carolyn M , Jalla Rasmita , Wannamaker Louise
Published: August 2024

Background: Although rare, acute gastric dilatation is associated with life threatening complications. While several

cases have been documented in various settings, there are very few cases documented in association with

gynecological surgeries.

Objective: We report a case of acute gastric dilatation with subsequent necrosis and perforation in 35-year-old

postpartum patient two days following a primary cesarean section. The patient’s medical history was

significant for diabetes and intellectual disability. Despite treatment and resuscitative measures following

gastric rupture, the patient continued to decompensate, suffering respiratory failure, anoxic brain injury,

and subsequently death.

Methods: Case Report

Results: n/a

Conclusion: Gastric necrosis is a postoperative complication any surgeon should be aware of. While there are very few

documented cases of gastric necrosis and perforation after a gynecological surgery, pelvic surgeons

should still be cognizant of this severely fatal complication. Obstetricians must maintain a high suspicion

of ileus in any post-cesarean patient with nausea or vomiting, particularly in patients with a history of

diabetes mellitus and intellectual impairment who are at risk for gastric necrosis. Awareness of this

potential complication may help providers initiate treatment modalities quickly, thus reducing mortality.

In India, despite the reverence for female deities, patriarchy’s hold remains strong in various fields, including diplomacy. This research aims to explore the pivotal role of women within the sphere of Indian diplomacy, tracing the historical evolution. The study relies on the qualitative method of survey of literature and analysis to highlight the achievements of Indian women diplomats and persisting hurdles, including the intersectional challenges they face. The study posits that addressing and removing the gender bias in Indian diplomacy, by viewing it through a feminist lens will yield more equitable opportunities and inclusivity. It underscores the significance of Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP), introduced by Swedish foreign minister Margot Wallstrom in 2014, as a potential solution to dismantle the patriarchal bias in Indian diplomacy. Empowering women to transcend the constraints imposed by a patriarchal framework, can enhance their individual well-being and psychological fortitude, fostering an improved work culture that attracts more women to join the Indian diplomatic services. This study gives suggestive measures to improve the work-life balance and enrich the professional as well as personal lives of women in Indian diplomacy by adopting feminist ideals. The research will contribute to the broader scholarship on gender and diplomacy, which is a relatively nascent but rapidly growing research area.

Typhoid fever is among the major prevalent disease in Nigeria due to various interconnected factors such as scarce amenities for handling unwanted products and abuse of antibiotics; these among other factors are responsible for the widespread of typhoid fever affecting both underage children and young adults.  This study was a descriptive cross-sectional conducted from September to November, 2023. The study population consisted of adults female age ranged from 18 years and above. A pilot study was conducted which tested the validity and reliability of the instruments. The response rate was 100% for there were no non-consenting respondents. The study variables were independent and dependent. Data was analyzed using SPSS Computer software version 11. The processed data was presented in Tables, Pie chart; and Chi-square test of independence (contingency tables) was used to determine if there was a relationship between control measures of typhoid and it’s occurrence in the study area. The study revealed that those with low level of education suffered from typhoid more than those who had attained a higher level of education and therefore education played a key role in the prevalence of typhoid among pregnant women based on the study. It  has been shown that the higher the level of education the more the typhoid prevalence decreased among the adults as in primary, secondary and college levels respectively. The findings of this study also showed that 63% of the pregnant women had suffered from typhoid fever in one or more times in their life time, and only 37% had not. This is a clear indication that typhoid fever is prevalent among pregnant women attending General hospital in Azare. The results showed that those with low level of education were more than 50% and they suffered from typhoid episodes in their lifetime more than those with higher level of education. This study revealed that 63% did not have water storage facility while 37% provided water storage facilities within their households. The results of the study found that 80.2% of the residents had temporary houses, 14.4% had semi-permanent houses and 5.4% had permanent houses. These statistics reveal that most of the residents were poor and that they were vulnerable to poor housing which could promote poor state of sanitation. Poor sanitation practices are a cause of bacterial, viral, protozoa, and helminthic infections. Similarly, on waste collection 82.9% were dissatisfied about it, and 17.1% were satisfied. The main reason of dissatisfaction on waste collection was that it was done unprofessionally (52.9%) and irregularly (36.3%). The majority (47.1%) of the residents of the area under study felt that the drainage systems posed a problem of leaking, 36% felt the problem with drainage was smell and 16.9% felt that drainage system were contaminating their surface water sources.
Differential Game of Two Pursuers Chasing One Evader with Different Forms of Constraints in l_2- Space

Published: August 2024

This paper addresses a pursuit differential game involving two Pursuers chasing one Evader within the l2 -space for an infinite system of first-order differential equations. The first Pursuer employs a strategy that satisfied integral constraint, while the second Pursuer uses a strategy governed by a geometric constraint. The goal of each pursuer is to force the state of the system to coincide with a predefined state within a finite time, counteracting the Evader's opposing actions. We construct an explicit strategy to determine the conditions necessary for successful pursuit. Moreover, we explore a control problem involving a single player.
