OBJECTIVES

A comparative effectiveness trial tested 2 parent-based interventions in improving the psychosocial recovery of hospitalized injured children: (1) Link for Injured Kids (Link), a program of psychological first aid in which parents are taught motivational interviewing and stress-screening skills, and (2) Trauma Education, based on an informational booklet about trauma and its impacts and resources.

METHODS

A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 4 children’s hospitals in the Midwestern United States. Children aged 10 to 17 years admitted for an unintentional injury and a parent were recruited and randomly assigned to Link or Trauma Education. Parents and children completed questionnaires at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months posthospitalization. Using an intent-to-treat analysis, changes in child-reported posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, quality of life, and child behaviors were compared between intervention groups.

RESULTS

Of 795 injured children, 314 children and their parents were enrolled into the study (40%). Link and Trauma Education was associated with improved symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, and pediatric quality of life at similar rates over time. However, unlike those in Trauma Education, children in the Link group had notable improvement of child emotional behaviors and mild improvement of conduct and peer behaviors. Compared with Trauma Education, Link was also associated with improved peer behaviors in rural children.

CONCLUSION

Although children in both programs had reduced posttrauma symptoms over time, Link children, whose parents were trained in communication and referral skills, exhibited a greater reduction in problem behaviors.
Where is victory most certain? The level of luck-based noise factor in Summer Olympic Games
Authors: Csurilla Gergely , Gyimesi András , Kendelényi-Gulyás Erika , Sterbenz Tamás
Published: September 2021

We describe a statistical approach for the measurement of the newly defined luck-based noise factor in sports. It is defined as the difference between the actual outcome and the expected outcome based on the model predictions. We raise the question whether some sports exhibit a higher level of noise-factor than others, making investments in that sport riskier. Data from 14 individual sports in six Summer Olympic Games between 1996 and 2016 were included in the analysis. Market shares are predicted by the autoregressive linear and zero-inflated beta regression models with exogenous variables, where the higher Normalized Mean Squared Error indicates a higher noise-factor. Modern pentathlon, tennis and cycling showed the highest noise-factors, whereas swimming, table tennis and athletics were the least noisy. Possible reasons are discussed in the paper. Our analysis indicates that countries with suitable resources producing leading elite Olympic athletes are predicted to achieve higher success in sports with a lower noise-factor such as swimming. In contrast, investments in noisy sports, such as e.g., modern pentathlon, are associated with a higher risk.
A new theoretical model of government backed venture capital funding
Authors: Fazekas Balázs , Becsky-Nagy Patrícia
Published: September 2021

Government involvement in the venture capital (VC) market has become an important catalyst of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of young and innovative firms. There is an extensive literature describing the VC model, but the models of its government backed variants are not comprehensively discussed. The article focuses on the model of purely government backed venture capital (GVC) and hybrid venture capital (HGVC). The conclusion of this article is that, by the logic of their models, GVCs are destined to underperform than private VCs. Many articles see HGVCs as a step forward compared to GVCs, as they involve private participants. The novelty of the current article lies in bringing out the drawbacks deriving from the system of hybrid venture capital funding by creating a complex theoretical framework of the HGVC model. We show that due to the crowding in of private participants, this scheme creates a two-goal system where the private profit maximising interests conflict with the economic policy goals. The complex system of HGVC is exposed to increased moral hazard issues that might lead to higher distortions than GVC. The conclusions are especially relevant in the case of developing industries.
Sugar Habit Hacker: Initial evidence that a planning intervention reduces sugar intake
Authors: Brittain Matthew , Consedine Nathan , Bagot Kathleen L. , Booth Natalia , Rodda Simone N.
Published: September 2021

Background and aims

Sugar is a potentially addictive substance that is consumed in such high levels the World Health Organisation has set recommended consumption limits. To date there are no empirically tested brief interventions for reducing sugar consumption in adult populations. The current study aimed to preliminarily assess the feasibility of recruitment, retention, and intervention engagement and impact of a brief intervention.

Methods

This pre-post study recruited 128 adults from New Zealand to complete a 30-day internet-delivered intervention with in-person and email coaching. The intervention components were derived from implementation intention principles whereby the gap between intention and behaviour was targeted. Participants selected sugar consumption goals aligned with WHO recommendations by gender. To meet these goals, participants developed action plans and coping plans and engaged in self-monitoring. Facilitation was provided by a coach to maintain retention and treatment adherence over the 30 days.

Results

Intervention materials were rated as very useful and participants were mostly satisfied with the program. The total median amount of sugar consumed at baseline was 1,662.5 g (396 teaspoons per week) which was reduced to 362.5 g (86 teaspoons) at post-intervention evaluation (d = 0.83). The intervention was associated with large effects on reducing cravings (d = 0.59) and psychological distress (d = 0.68) and increasing situational self-efficacy (d = 0.92) and well-being (d = 0.68) with a reduction in BMI (d = 0.51).

Conclusion

This feasibility study indicates that a brief intervention delivering goal setting, implementation planning, and self-monitoring may assist people to reduce sugar intake to within WHO recommendations.

How primary school children address reading problems in dialogic reading
Authors: Pulles Maaike , Berenst Jan , Koole Tom , de Glopper Kees
Published: September 2021

In dialogic reading during inquiry learning settings in primary school, pupils read, think and talk together about text fragments for answering their research questions. In this process, pupils may encounter reading problems, regarding word identification or meaning. Conversation analysis is used to demonstrate how these reading problems are collaboratively addressed. Word identification problems are mostly signalled implicitly during the genuine reading activity and are in most cases immediately corrected by the co-participant, to continue the reading activity as smooth as possible. Meaning problems are displayed more explicitly, by use of requests for information, that are explicit about the purpose, but not always explicitly addressed to the other participant. Therefore all participants, including the text in a principal role, can assist.
Deontics at bedtime
Authors: Henderson Gates
Published: September 2021

Directive trajectories are common in parent–child talk as parents attempt to engage their children in household activities. Previous research on families with autistic children has reported that parents have difficulty engaging their children in household activities. The current study analyses the strategies a parent utilizes in negotiating an activity contract with their autistic child. The analyses show that the parent negotiates stances towards autonomy, category-membership-tied activities and social obligations, as well as used embodied conduct. The analyses also show how the child is sensitive to these strategies and actively participates in the directive trajectory. The findings show that both parent and child are active co-constructors of the social relationship in directive trajectories and that the child can strategically counter the variety of directive resources the parent uses.
‘I was just thinking’
Authors: Hutchby Ian , O’Reilly Michelle , Drewett Alison , Stafford Victoria
Published: September 2021

Based on a corpus of child mental health assessment meetings, this article explores how practitioners use reports on their own cognitive processing, such as I was just thinking or I’m just wondering, in interaction with children and adolescents presenting with potential mental health issues. Using the methods of conversation analysis, the findings reveal different ways in which this device is used to encourage the child to engage with a particular topic, interpretation, or version of events from the standpoint of subjective experience; in other words, to produce feelings-talk. The analysis contributes further towards the understanding of child–adult interaction in professional arenas of action: in this case child mental health assessments.
The application of manufacturing audits to identify and analyze production strategies: study carried out in a small graphics company
Authors: Thesari Shirley Suellen , Tonello Renato , Trojan Flavio , Lizot Lizot
Published: September 2021

Purpose - This study intends to identify, analyze and formulate manufacturing strategies for small companies. The application of management methodologies on manufacturing processes in small companies is not commonly adopted, since an immediate return is not generated, and when it is compared to the effort required to understand and apply it.Design/methodology/approach – An adaption to a manufacturing audit methodology was used, illustrated by using the application to a small printing company.Findings - The situation that occurs frequently in small and family-owned enterprises, where even making activities more professional is not considered relevant, and seen as a waste of time and money, can certainly be improved using manufacturing audits. However, with technological advances, even small companies need to develop and reflect on manufacturing strategies to remain in the market.Originality/value - This approach becomes efficient when it focuses and analyzes these strategies, which are usually unclear for small companies, identifying weaknesses and opportunities for improvement to leverage the competitiveness of these companies, by defining more effective strategies. In addition, the study contributes theoretically when it seeks to adjust a methodology that has already been consolidated in large corporations, and which needs to be adapted to the reality of the scenario presented.Keywords - Manufacturing strategy, auditing, printing industry.
Pragmatic annotation of a domain-restricted English-Spanish comparable corpus
Authors: Rabadán Rosa , Ramón Noelia , Sanjurjo-González Hugo
Published: September 2021

This paper explores the multi-layer annotation of a written domain-restricted English-Spanish comparable corpus (CLANES – Controlled LANguage English Spanish), focusing on pragmatic annotation. The annotation scheme draws on part of speech tagging and a semantic annotation scheme, i.e. the UCREL Semantic Analysis System, with some added categories to fit the food-and-drink domain represented in CLANES. These are used to build significant (pragmatic) metapatterns. Seven different pragmatic functions have been identified in our corpus, namely , , , , ,  and . Computer scripts translate this linguistic information into regular expressions to be used in unsupervised annotation. Partial results indicate that applying lexical restrictors boosts the success rate considerably. However, metadata is preferred because of increased replicability and generality. Replicability issues and limitations encountered during testing are also addressed.

No mundo digital, toda a atividade humana deixa um rasto de dados que constitui um recurso cada vez mais valioso, para avaliação e definição de estratégias nos mais variados domínios. A partilha desses dados, sendo socialmente importante, implica o respeito pela privacidade individual e portanto a sua anonimização. As atuais leis e regulamentos sobre privacidade oferecem orientações limitadas para lidar com um vasto leque de tipos de dados, ou com técnicas de reidentificação. Este trabalho pretende ilustrar um processo de anonimização, comparando para vários modelos de privacidade a perda de informação e a utilidade do conjunto de dados resultante. Encontrar o equilíbrio entre privacidade e utilidade é um desafio que pode ser mais facilmente alcançado por quem melhor conhece o significado dos dados e dos objetivos que se pretendem alcançar com eles.

Contexto, tendencias y actores de la reconceptualización
Authors: Quintero Londoño Sergio
Published: September 2021

Objetivo. Este artículo intenta demostrar las mediaciones entre el desarrollo sociohistórico del modo de producción capitalista y el trabajo social, entendido como una profesión inscrita en la división sociotécnica del trabajo. Metodología. De manera particular, se analiza la crisis estructural del capital en las décadas 1960 y 1970, así como los actores y fuerzas profesionales que protagonizaron la Reconceptualización del Trabajo Social. Resultados. A partir de un análisis histórico de orden cualitativo, fundamentado en análisis documental, se identifica la Reconceptualización como un movimiento que hace parte de la renovación profesional, en la que se encuentran tendencias teórico-políticas diferenciadas. Conclusión. Finalmente, llamando la atención sobre el carácter ‘politicista’ del marxismo que inspiró la Reconceptualización, se sugiere un abordaje riguroso de la obra madura de Marx, la crítica de la economía política.
Educación para la ciudadanía en el posacuerdo

Published: September 2021

Objetivo. Este artículo de revisión pretende ubicar internacionalmente la educación en el posconflicto en Colombia, en relación con las experiencias de otros países que han vivido procesos semejantes. Metodología. Se hizo un rastreo por la bibliografía especializada que relaciona investigaciones sobre el tema. Resultados. Se encontró que en los países más cercanos a la experiencia colombiana sucede algo semejante a lo que pasa en Colombia: mientras la educación conserve parámetros violentos, autoritarios, con modelos pedagógicos basados en la memoria, no es posible aclimatar una cultura de paz. Conclusión. Se hace necesario empoderar una educación para la ciudadanía que responda a tres criterios para un verdadero restablecimiento de la paz: la cohesión social, la participación ciudadana yla  histórica.

Hay silencio en las articulaciones.
Authors: Ortiz Giraldo Mateo
Published: September 2021

Hasta los 10 años hablé poco, por poco me refiero a realmente poco. Mis palabras no se articulaban. Por el contrario. Todo estaba disperso, desdoblado y necesariamente sin forma. Durante esos años de silencio entendí la quietud. No fue reflexivo, simplemente ocurrió: las manos se ciñen una sobre la otra, las rodillas se pliegan y la cabeza queda estática. El juego de la estatua: congelado, gritan. Sí, estuve congelado. Estaba “inmóvil y de pie en una pendiente recóndita y apartada en el monte, igual que si fuera uno de los árboles bajo la lluvia”, como narra Han Kang en su libro “La Vegetariana” (Ratta, 2017), acerca del proceso de transformación vegetal de Yeong-hy, una ama de casa coreana. Esa novela emprende una indagación sobre el cuerpo callado, silencioso y que muta hacia el completo silencio. Esta ama de casa emprende un proceso contrario al mío: pasa de la movilidad y la acción, hacia la inacción y el mutismo. Ruido blanco que tranquilamente le pone peso a la gravedad de la soledad. Para entender, alguien callado es alguien solitario. Las dimensiones de su anatomía no se ramifican sobre otras, sino que devienen en roca. No hay interacción social. Así como Yeonghye cuando empieza abandonar los hábitos que le construían: comer carne, tener sexo, hablar con su familia e interactuar, en general. Gracias a la “La vegetariana” el cuerpo cobra una importancia mayúscula. Se trata de una extensión marchita y anulada, pero también limpia. Su protagonista busca, aunque no oímos su voz más que en sueños, sacarse de dentro la muerte que ha consumido. Es una decisión intempestiva. Como la mía de hablar y tratar de interactuar.

Published: September 2021

El uso de tecnologías de información y comunicación en el Perú ha contribuido a mayor acceso a la educación y al desarrollo humano. Sin embargo, existen poblaciones que, al carecer de conectividad, no gozan completamente esas oportunidades. Mediante una propuesta cuasi experimental, se busca determinar el efecto del nivel de interactividad de los objetos virtuales para el aprendizaje, OVA, en la adquisición de estrategias de lectura; relevante para el diseño de OVA, al estar la interactividad condicionada por la conectividad. Se intervino un grupo experimental con OVA de interactividad pasiva y otro, con OVA de interactividad limitada, así como un grupo control; conformados por estudiantes del distrito de Villa Rica que accedieron a la plataforma virtual Clementina. Ambos OVA posibilitaron mejoras significativas al usar estrategias de lectura; aunque se evidenciaron mayores puntuaciones en el grupo con OVA de interactividad limitada, no existieron diferencias significativas en la eficacia de los OVA.

Phosphaturie mesenchymal tumour, 'non-phosphaturic' variant: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: Wadee Reubina , Linda Zwelithini , Ismail Abdullah
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours are uncommon neoplasms, usually associated with tumour-induced osteomalacia, that occur in middle-aged adults but have been reported at the extremes of age. The 'non-phosphaturic' variant is even rarer METHODS: Herein, we describe the non-phosphaturic variant in a 12-year-old male who presented to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery with a six-month history of painful progressive swelling of his right forearm in the absence of trauma. He had no other significant symptoms RESULTS: The patient had normal serum calcium and phosphate levels on biochemical analysis. An inci-sional biopsy was performed and a histopathological diagnosis of a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour, non-phosphaturic variant, was rendered. Six weeks later, he underwent surgical excision of a 15x15 cm soft tissue mass from his right forearm. He had an uneventful postoperative period and was discharged. He has been followed up at the outpatient department and has been free of tumour recurrence for over 18 months since his surgery with no evidence of osteomalacia and no other tumours CONCLUSION: Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours are rare mesenchymal neoplasms and their microscopically identical counterpart without phosphaturia, known as the 'non-phosphaturic' variant, is even more uncommon and may prove a greater diagnostic challenge. While the diagnosis may be confirmed by hypophosphataemia and phosphaturia secondary to the paraneoplastic phenomenon of tumour-induced osteomalacia, there may be instances, such as with our patient, where tumour-induced osteomalacia is absent. This case underscores the importance of clinicopathological correlation together with a wide differential diagnosis required to arrive at a correct diagnosis to facilitate appropriate patient management Level of evidence: Level 5 Keywords: phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours, non-phosphaturic variant
THE REGULATION OF INTERCOUNTRY ADOPTION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Glynis van der Walt
Published: September 2021

In South Africa, the Director General of the DSD appoints the Central Authority. Applications for intercountry adoption are made to the Central Authority. The aim is to protect the best interests of children involved in the process of intercountry adoption. This task is of paramount importance. The Central Authority is also tasked with maintaining relationships and promoting cooperation among the competent authorities within the State to protect children and to achieve the objectives of the Convention. In addition, where an adoption takes place after the child has been transferred to the receiving State and the Central Authority of the receiving State is of the view that the continued placement of the child with the prospective adoptive parents is not in the best interests of the child, the Central Authority is required to take the necessary measures to protect such child. These measures include withdrawing the child from the prospective adoptive parents and arranging temporary care and a new placement for the child in consultation with the Central Authority of the State of origin. The Central Authority therefore acts as a “gatekeeper”, with all adoptions in-and-out of the country channelled through its checks. It fulfils an important function to eliminate practices which may violate the best interests of the child.
Playing time between senior rugby players of different ethnic groups across all levels of South African rugby, 2007- 2011
Authors: Du Toit J , Durandt J , Joshua J , Masimla H , Lambert M
Published: September 2021

Background. The South African Rugby Union (SARU) has had a continual challenge to make the game representative of players of all ethnic groups at all levels of play. In response to this challenge SARU has implemented several programmes designed to accelerate the development of players from previously disadvantaged areas with the goal of making the game more representative. However, the success of these programmes to transform the player profile at different levels of rugby cannot be evaluated because the players representing different ethnic groups have not been quantified in a systematic way.Objectives. To quantify the number and playing time of South African professional players (Vodacom, Currie Cup, Super Rugby and Springboks) from different ethnic groups from 2007 to 2011 to determine whether there are any changes in the profile of the players over this period.Methods. Playing time was recorded for all players in sanctioned matches. Players were divided into the ethnic classifications used by SARU (i.e. white, coloured and black).Results. At all levels of competition there were proportionally more white players, followed by coloured players and then black players. This pattern did not change from 2007 to 2011. Based on the ratio of number of players v. playing time, the white players played more time than expected at the Springbok level, whereas the black players played less than expected for the number of players from 2007 to 2011. At the Vodacom level the white players played more than expected in 2007 and 2008 and played less than expected in 2010 and 2011, whereas the black players played more than expected in 2010 and the coloured players played more than expected at the 2011 tournament. The Super Rugby tournamenthad the most consistency between players and expected playing time for the different ethnic groups.Conclusions. Despite the effort to support players from disadvantaged backgrounds since 1998 with facilitative programmes and selection targets, the professional game is still dominated by white players at all levels.
From Silos to Synergies: G20 Governance of the SDGs, Climate Change & Digitalization
Authors:   University of Toronto, Kirton John , Warren Brittaney ,   University of Toronto
Published: September 2021

How well and why have Group of 20 (G20) summits advanced Agenda 2030’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) in a synergistic way, with climate change and digitization at the core? An answer to this urgent, indeed existential, question comes from a systematic analysis of G20 summit governance of the SDGs, climate change and digitization to assess the ambition and appropriateness of advances within each pillar and the synergistic links among them. This analysis examines G20 governance of the SDGs, sustainable development, climate change and digitization across the major dimensions of performance and evaluates how performance has changed and become synergistic with the advent of the SDGs in 2015 and the shock of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. The latter has shown the need to prevent global ecological crises and spurred the digitization of the economy, society and health. Yet, G20 summit governance has largely remained in separate silos, doing little to use the digital revolution to address climate change or reach the SDGs. This highlights the need for G20 leaders to forge links at their future summits by mainstreaming the SDGs and mobilizing the digital revolution and climate action for future health and well-being.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Without Indian Participation: Can It Work as a Mega FTA?
Authors:   Korea Polytechnic University, Park Sang-Chul
Published: September 2021

There is no doubt that global trade has contributed to rapid global economic growth over the last five decades. However, trade growth slowed after the global financial crisis; while it started to recover several years after the crisis, it has again declined since 2017 due to the trade conflict between the U.S. and China, as well as other major trade partners such as the European Union (EU), Japan and Korea. The Trump administration regarded the World Trade Organization (WTO) as acting contrary to U.S. economic interests and tried to limit its arbitration function to trade negotiations and conflicts occurring between corporations rather than states. Despite the U.S.’ attempt to weaken the WTO’s functions, the rest of the world has tried to restore the WTO’s role in free trade and multilateralism. To overcome U.S. unilateralism, many major economies have established mega free trade agreements (FTAs) such as the EU-Japan FTA, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The 15 states in the RCEP agreed to complete it in 2020, signing without the participation of India—the third largest economy in Asia— although it had been part of the negotiations since 2011. Despite the absence of India, the RCEP will be the largest mega FTA in the world, covering over 30% of global gross domestic product (GDP), and contributing to strengthened regional economic integration and growth. This article explores whether the RCEP can function properly in the absence of India and examines why India decided not to participate. Furthermore, it investigates and analyzes how the RCEP will develop without Indian participation. Last, it discusses how to set the relationship as a competitor with the CPTPP given the overlapping memberships of participating states.

Bu çalışmada ulusal ve uluslararası alanyazında bedensel okuryazarlıkla ilgili yapılan çalışmalar incelenerek bedensel okuryazarlık kavramının tarihçesi, felsefi zeminleri, çeşitli tanımları, alt bileşenleri, faydaları ve bireylerin bedensel okuryazarlık gelişim dönemleri araştırılmıştır. Birçok çalışmada Margaret Whitehead’in çalışmalarının referans alındığı görülmüştür. Whitehead, bedensel okuryazarlığı herkesin ulaşabileceği bir kabiliyet veya yetenek olarak tanımlamıştır. Buna ek olarak Pot ve arkadaşları bedensel okuryazarlık kavramının güçlü felsefi zeminleri olduğunu vurgulamıştır. Bu felsefi zeminler monizm, varoluşçuluk ve fenomonoloji olarak açıklanmaktadır. Eğitimcilerin bedensel okuryazarlık felsefesini iyi bilmelerinin hem bedensel okuryazarlık kavramını anlamak hem de sahada bunları uygulamak için önemli bir yere sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Bedensel okuryazarlığın faydalarına baktığımızda ise bireysel ve sosyolojik açıdan birçok yararı olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Örneğin, bireyin fiziksel olarak aktif olması, bireyin motivasyonunu, öz güvenini, öz farkındalığını ve sosyal becerilerini geliştirmektedir. Ayrıca, aktif bireylerin daha sağlıklı oldukları görülmektedir ve bu durumun topluma yansıması olarak toplumda daha az sağlık harcamalarının olması beklenmektedir. Bedensel okuryazarlık kavramı dinamik bir süreç olup yaşam boyu sürmektedir. Araştırmalar bedensel okuryazarlık kavramının farklı yaş dönemlerinde farklı şekiller de ortaya çıktığı ve insan yaşamındaki farklı paydaşların bu dönemlerde etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu dönemlerin özellikleri temelde aynı olsa da bedensel okuryazarlık kavramı bireyler açısından farklı ihtiyaçları karşılamaya yönelik olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmada, bedensel okuryazarlık kavramı incelenmiş ve elde edilen bilgiler ışığında konuyla ilgili sınırlı olan Türkçe alanyazına katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.

Bu çalışma; profesyonel futbolcular ve voleybolcuların beslenme bilgi düzeyleri ve besin tüketim durumlarının değerlendirilmesi ile kafein alımları ve vücut kompozisyonları arasındaki ilişkinin karşılaştırılması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya; Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu (TFF) 1. Lig’de yer alan bir futbol kulübünde oynayan 19 futbolcu ile Türkiye Voleybol Federasyonu’na (TVF) bağlı iki farklı voleybol takımında oynayan 24 voleybolcu olmak üzere 18-35 yaş arası toplam 43 erkek sporcu katılmıştır. Sporcuların; sosyodemografik özellikleri, beslenme alışkanlıkları ve kafein alımları çoktan seçmeli soruların olduğu anket formuyla, beslenme bilgi düzeyleri ise Sporcu Beslenme Bilgisi Ölçeği (SBBÖ) ile belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada voleybolcuların boy uzunluğu (cm), vücut ağırlığı (kg) ve vücut yağ kütlesinin (kg) futbolculara kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür (p<0.05). Çalışmada futbolcuların enerji (kkal), karbonhidrat (%), çoklu doymamış yağ asitleri (%), posa (g), A vitamini (µg/RE), E vitamini (mg), tiamin (mg), riboflavin (mg), folat (mcg), C vitamini (mg) ve B6 vitamini (mg), potasyum (mg), kalsiyum (mg), magnezyum (mg) ve fosfor (mg) alımları voleybolculara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Çalışmada futbolcuların toplam günlük kafein alım miktarları ortalama 295.47±69.73 mg; voleybolcuların ise 347.53±238.62 mg olduğu ve her iki grupta günlük kafein alımı ile vücut ağırlığı arasında negatif yönde bir ilişki olduğu görülmüş ancak istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Son olarak; voleybolcuların futbolculara kıyasla daha düşük beslenme bilgi düzeyine sahip olduğu (p<0.05) ancak spor beslenmesi konusunda her iki grubun da “zayıf bilgi” düzeyine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma sonuçları; futbolcular ve voleybolcuların beslenme bilgisi yetersizliğini gidermek, bu alandaki bilgilerini artırmak, beslenme alışkanlıklarını olumlu yönde değiştirmek ve buna bağlı olarak sportif performanslarını iyileştirmek için adımlar atılması gerektiğini göstermiştir.
Variable Arrangements Between Residential and Productive Activities: Conceiving Mixed-Use for Urban Development in Brussels
Authors: Ryckewaert Michael , Zaman Jan , De Boeck Sarah
Published: September 2021

Mixing productive economic activities with housing is a hot topic in academic and policy discourses on the redevelopment of large cities today. Mixed-use is proposed to reduce adverse effects of modernist planning such as single-use zoning, traffic congestion, and loss of quality in public space. Moreover, productive city discourses plead for the re-integration of industry and manufacturing in the urban tissue. Often, historical examples of successful mixed-use in urban areas serve as a guiding image, with vertical symbiosis appearing as the holy grail of the live-work mix-discourse. This article examines three recent live-work mix projects developed by a public real estate agency in Brussels. We investigate how different spatial layouts shape the links between productive, residential, and other land uses and how potential conflicts between residents and economic actors are mediated. We develop a theoretical framework based on earlier conceptualisations of mixed-use development to analyse the spatial and functional relationships within the projects. We situate them within the housing and productive city policies in Brussels. From this analysis, we conclude that mixed-use should be understood by considering spatial and functional relationships at various scales and by studying the actual spatial layout of shared spaces, logistics and nuisance mitigation. Mixed-use is highly contextual, depending on the characteristics of the area as well as policy goals. The vertical symbiosis between different land uses is but one example of valid mixed-use strategies along with good neighbourship, overlap, and tolerance. As such, future commercial and industrial areas will occur in various degrees of mixity in our cities.
