Food crops a vital part of human nutrition because the main need of vitamins and calories in a large portion of population is met by food crops. There is an enormous demand of food in Pakistan due to its increasing population. This demand of food can be conquered by introducing an innovation in the market, so that output could be achieved by less in economical range. Agricultural machines play central role in crop productivity, when planting and harvesting. A carrot washer is a machine that could be useful in agricultural mechanization. To increase market value, root crops such as carrot must be cleansed of soil particles after harvesting and before being transported from field to market. Carrot washing is mostly done manually with brooms and feet, using un-cleaned water from a nearby spring. Manual cleaning must require labour and takes time due to the sticky muck on the surface of the carrot. With a cleaning effectiveness of 98%, carrot washing is a highly handy cleaning machine. It can also be used to wash other crops after harvesting, such as potatoes and radishes, so that they can be transported to markets. This is a low-cost machine that is affordable to any farmer in Pakistan. The purpose of this research is to go through the design and details of this carrot washer. The machine comprises a wooden drum with a constant supply of pressurized water. After harvesting, muddy carrots are inserted inside the drum through an entrance in the drum’s face. The wooden drum rotates and scratches away foreign material from the surface of the carrots, while pressurized water is used to wash away the soil. After washing, the wastewater drains from the drum via slots around the circumference. As a result, carrot washing cleans carrots and other root crops and prepares them for commercialization. This machine can also be used to prepare other root crops for market by washing them. Tucky test was used to analyses the observations. When compared to the traditional way of washing, the machine showed to be more time efficient. The cost of manually washing carrots is estimated to be around Rs. 1000 per hour, while the cost of operating this equipment is only Rs. 364 per hour. Manual washing takes time as well, but using a carrot washer saves time when compared to manual washing. Carrot washing takes 80 hours per acre per person in conventional washing. However, the same work can be completed in 15 hours. In short, it may save around 65 hours per acre, is simple to operate, and ensures safe carrot handling. Aside from carrots, it can also be used to wash other root crops

Authors: Ostuni Nicole F , Marinello Charles A , Luzhnyy Taras , Pawlikowski Alexa , Vlasaty Connor , Thomatos Georgios , Douris Peter C
Published: February 2024

Background

Previous research has reported that people with Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) generally experience a high rate of muscular injury and pain. However, there is limited research comparing the recovery times and length of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) in individuals with JHS to non-hypermobile individuals in response to exercise.

Hypotheses/Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate JHS and its effects on DOMS and its recovery time.

Study Design

Quasi-experimental, observational comparison

Methods

Two groups including a hypermobile group (score >4 on Beighton Scale) and a non-hypermobile group all took part in five-second long standing eccentric bicep curls based using their one- repetition maximum (1-RM) of their dominant arm to failure in order to induce DOMS. Visual analog pain scale (VAS), McGill pain scale, resting arm angle, girth, and the pressure pain threshold, all domains of DOMS, were measured over a five-day period. Results were analyzed using ANOVA with time as the repeated factor.

Results

Both groups experienced DOMS following the eccentric exercise. However, VAS reporting was significantly greater in the hypermobile group compared to the non-hypermobile group and there was a significant difference over time. However, other variables did not reveal any other significant findings between groups.

Conclusion

Individuals with JHS may experience greater DOMS and require more time to recover between treatment sessions. Therapists need to be aware that patients with hypermobility may experience higher pain levels related to exercise, and they need to adjust treatment parameters appropriately.

Sport-Specific AMCaMP: New Modular Tools for Measuring Adolescent Self-Confidence In Sport-Specific Movement
Authors: May Keith H. , Espinoza William C. , Guccione Andrew A.
Published: February 2024

Background

Despite increasing interest in psychological factors that affect the impact of self-efficacy on readiness to return to play, few clinical tools are available to assess self-confidence in performing sports-specific movement patterns in the pediatric/adolescent population.

Hypothesis/Purpose

The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of sports-specific modules to supplement a general measure of movement self-efficacy, the Adolescent Measure of Confidence and Movement Performance (AMCaMP).

Study Design

Quasi-experimental cross-sectional validation.

Methods

After preliminary testing for readability and ease of administration, one of 12 sport-specific modules pertinent to the individual’s sport (baseball, softball, basketball, football, gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, ballet, swimming, lacrosse, tennis, and cross country) were administered to 14,744 patients, 11-18 years of age, drawn from 12 pediatric sports physical therapy facilities in a single health care system. Respondents completed the assigned sport-specific self-report questionnaire at initial visit and conclusion of the episode of care.

Results

Based on sample sizes, Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, and Kaiser-Myer-Olkin measures, nine modules (baseball, softball, basketball, football, gymnastics, cheerleading, soccer, ballet, and swimming) were deemed suitable for factor analysis. Each module sample was divided into test validation samples. Exploratory factor analysis revealed an underlying structure ranging from one to three factors depending upon the module. Subsequent confirmatory factor analyses fully supported the hypothesized factor structures for each module except swimming. Additional analyses to determine coefficient alpha (range=0.8-0.976), Standard Error of Measurement (range=1.12-2.33), and Minimum Detectable Change (range=3.1-6.47) confirmed the reliability of each of these modules.

Conclusion

AMCAMP sport-specific modules are reliable and valid self-report tools to capture self-confidence in performing sport-specific movements to supplement AMCAMP’s evaluation of self-efficacy in performing the general movements of everyday life. The results of this study support using these modules as part of the overall clinical evaluation of psychological readiness to return to sport.

An Apparent Achilles Heel of the NFL: Have Achilles Tendon Injuries Significantly Increased to Unacceptably High Incidence Levels in the NFL and if so, why? A Clinical Insight
Authors: Hewett Timothy E , Lavender Chad D , Schaver Andrew L
Published: February 2024

Many if not most of us watched in utter disbelief and horror last September 11th as Aaron Rogers, the newly acquired $75 million dollar quarterback with the New York Jets just 4 snaps into the new season, suffered an Achilles Tendon ruptures (ATR) in his inaugural game on nationally televised Monday Night Football with his new and excited team and demanding fanbase. With cell phones in hand, we watched as our X apps lit up with claims of an excess of ATRs in the NFL in recent years and much of the blame placed on the new rubberized turf surfaces in place in most of the NFL stadiums. That first week of the NFL season the NFL Players Association, the NFLPA, put out a statement to this effect that demanded removal of rubberized turf surfaces throughout the NFL! With Kirk Cousins devastating ATR a few weeks later, amongst 21 others this season, and Aaron Rogers return to practice after a mere seven to eight weeks post-injury, this conundrum remains foremost in our hyper-questioning minds!
Enhancing the Diagnosis of Lateral Ankle Sprains: The Role of MSK Diagnostic Ultrasound in Evaluating ATFL and CFL
Authors: Manske Robert C , Wolfe Chris , Page Phil , Voight Michael
Published: February 2024

Lateral ankle sprains, predominantly involving the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), constitute a significant portion of sports-related injuries, with a notable rate of recurrence and progression to chronic instability. Precise diagnosis and effective treatment of the ATFL and CFL injuries are crucial in preventing long-term complications. Musculoskeletal (MSK) diagnostic ultrasound has emerged as a pivotal tool in the rehabilitation sector, particularly in assessing lateral ankle ligament injuries. This article will highlight its benefits over traditional diagnostic methods and the emerging role of MSK diagnostic ultrasound as a superior tool for accurate, cost-effective, and comprehensive assessment of these injuries. We discuss the technology’s ability to provide objective, real-time imagery, facilitating accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and injury monitoring emphasizing the need for a standardized approach to ultrasound evaluation to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
The Convergent Validity of the SWAY Balance Application to Assess Postural Stability in Military Cadets Recovering from Concussion

Published: February 2024

Background

Concussions are often accompanied by balance disturbances. Clinically accurate evaluation systems are often expensive, large, and inaccessible to most clinicians. The Sway Balance Mobile Application (SWAY) is an accessible method to quantify balance changes.

Purpose

To determine the known groups and convergent validity of the SWAY to assess balance after a concussion.

Study Design

Case-Control Study.

Methods

Twenty participants with acute concussion and twenty controls were recruited. At initial, one-week, and final return to activity (RTA) evaluations, all participants completed the Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT-5), and balance control measured by SWAY mBESS and NeuroCom Balance Master Sensory Organization Test (SOT). Mixed model ANOVAs were used to detect differences in SWAY mBESS and NeuroCom SOT scores with time (initial, one-week, final RTA) as the within-subjects factor and group (concussed, healthy) as the between-subjects factor. Spearman’s Rho correlations explored the associations between NeuroCom SOT scores, SWAY scores, SCAT-5 symptom scores, and time in days to final RTA.

Results

The sampled population was predominantly male and age (20 ± 1), and BMI differences were insignificant between groups. The SWAY did not detect differences between healthy and concussed participants and did not detect change over time [F(2,40) = .114, p = 0.89; F(2,40)= .276, p =0.60]. When assessing the relationship between the SWAY and the SOT, no correlation was found at any time point (r = -0.317 to -0.062, p > 0.05). Time to RTA demonstrated a moderate correlation with both SCAT-5 symptom severity score (r = .693, p < 0.01) and SCAT-5 total symptom score (r = .611, p < 0.01) at the one-week follow-up.

Conclusion

The SWAY mBESS does not appear to be a valid balance assessment for the concussed patient. The SWAY mBESS in patients with concussion failed to demonstrate convergent validity and did not demonstrate an ability to validate known groups. When assessing the time to final RTA, the one-week post-initial assessment SCAT-5 symptom severity and total scores may help determine the length of recovery in this population.

La declaración SPIRIT 2013 tiene como objetivo mejorar la exhaustividad de los informes de los protocolos de los ensayos clínicos proporcionando recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia para el conjunto mínimo de elementos que deben abordarse. Esta guía ha sido fundamental para promover la evaluación transparente de nuevas intervenciones. Más recientemente, se ha reconocido cada vez más que las intervenciones con inteligencia artificial (IA) deben someterse a una evaluación rigurosa y prospectiva para demostrar su impacto en los resultados médicos. La extensión SPIRIT-AI (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials-Artificial Intelligence, por sus siglas en inglés) es una nueva directriz para el reporte de los protocolos de ensayos clínicos que evalúan intervenciones con un componente de IA. Esta directriz se desarrolló en paralelo con su declaración complementaria para los informes de ensayos clínicos: CONSORT-AI (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials-Artificial Intelligence). Ambas directrices se desarrollaron a través de un proceso de consenso por etapas que incluía la revisión de la literatura y la consulta a expertos para generar 26 ítems candidatos, que fueron consultados por un grupo internacional de múltiples partes interesadas en una encuesta Delphi de dos etapas (103 partes interesadas), acordados en una reunión de consenso (31 partes interesadas) y refinados a través de una lista de verificación piloto (34 participantes). La ampliación de SPIRIT-AI incluye 15 nuevos elementos que se consideraron suficientemente importantes para los protocolos de los ensayos clínicos con intervenciones de IA. Estos nuevos ítems deben ser reportados rutinariamente además de los ítems centrales de SPIRIT 2013. SPIRIT-AI recomienda que los investigadores proporcionen descripciones claras de la intervención de IA, incluyendo las instrucciones y las habilidades necesarias para su uso, el entorno en el que se integrará la intervención de IA, las consideraciones para el manejo de los datos de entrada y salida, la interacción entre el ser humano y la IA y el análisis de los casos de error. SPIRIT-AI ayudará a promover la transparencia y la exhaustividad de los protocolos de los ensayos clínicos de las intervenciones de IA. Su uso ayudará a los editores y revisores, así como a los lectores en general, a comprender, interpretar y valorar críticamente el diseño y el riesgo de sesgo de un futuro ensayo clínico.

Return as the Idea of Creating Surrealist Paintings
Authors: Rahmadhani Syifa , Miswar Miswar , Muler Yunis
Published: February 2024

Returning is interpreted as a return to the origin with the essence of a taste that reevaluates and reinterprets experiences, as well as an education and learning for the future. Creates complex emotions such as comfort, tranquility, sentimentality, sadness, and relief, serving as a method of emotion-focused coping in facing life's dynamics. The feeling of returning becomes an inspiration for creating works of art, serving as documentation of the journey and a trigger for awareness of the importance of each process and experience. These artworks take on a figurative form with distortions and transformations on canvas using the plaque technique, depicting human anatomy, gestures, and facial expressions. The creation process involves observing the subject, reflecting on the feeling of return, visual strategies, sketching, sketch selection, preparing tools and materials, transferring the sketch to the canvas medium, the painting process, finishing, and presenting the work in five paintings titled istirahat, sendu, dekap, obat, dan sebentar saja.

Authors: Marchioretto Rafaella Migliavacca , Moço Maria Cecilia de Chiara
Published: February 2024

A proposta deste trabalho foi identificar e avaliar as estratégias de ensino do docente universitário do curso de graduação em Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas a fim de capacitar o licenciando na transposição do conteúdo de botânica do Ensino Superior para a Educação Básica. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com oito docentes que ministram aulas de botânica. Foi realizada a Análise de Conteúdo com auxílio do software NVivo, e as respostas foram classificadas em quatro categorias. Algumas subcategorias foram definidas previamente, porém novas subcategorias emergiram da análise. Os resultados mostraram que a maior parte dos entrevistados não costuma participar de formação continuada e baseia sua prática pedagógica no exemplo de seus professores e em sua própria experiência. A estratégia didática mais utilizada é a aula teórica expositiva seguida de aula prática. De forma geral, os entrevistados fazem adaptações parciais nas estratégias usadas em suas aulas pensando na licenciatura. Dentre as seis atividades propostas como Prática como Componente Curricular (PCC), quatro são focadas no conhecimento biológico ou científico do aluno e duas tratam explicitamente da transposição de conhecimentos para a Educação Básica. Os resultados desta pesquisa indicam que a inclusão das PCCs foi positiva para os licenciandos, mas ressalta que ainda é necessário investir na formação pedagógica dos docentes do Ensino Superior.

La tecnopolítica se ha convertido en una tradición teórica y metodológica iberoamericana en el estudio de las protestas sociodigitales. Tal es el planteamiento que se desarrolla en este texto mediante la revisión epistemológica y el análisis crítico de las discusiones y aportes teóricos, metodológicos y los principales desafíos que ha enfrentado esta escuela de pensamiento desde su origen, en el contexto del movimiento de los indignados en España en 2011. Su consolidación se explica, en parte, por la diversificación en los estudios de caso y repertorios conceptuales que la han complementado cada vez más sólidamente, sobre todo en América Latina.
Aplicación del cálculo fraccionario en el modelado de corrientes transitorias en polímeros
Authors: Puente-Córdova Jesús Gabino , Segura-Méndez Karla Louisse , Rentería-Baltiérrez Flor Yanhira , Miranda-Valdez Isaac Yair
Published: February 2024

En este artículo se revisan las limitaciones de los modelos matemáticos comúnmente utilizados en la literatura para la descripción general del fenómeno de corrientes transitorias en materiales poliméricos mediante una ley de la potencia o una función exponencial negativa, y se propone la aplicación del cálculo fraccionario. De entre las limitaciones de los enfoques tradicionales destacan su fracaso en la asociación de este comportamiento eléctrico característico con parámetros físicos. Las causas de éstas provienen de la complejidad del comportamiento eléctrico en los polímeros. Dicho fenómeno ocurre a través de la relajación de carga eléctrica en función del tiempo, donde la viscoelasticidad del polímero influye ampliamente en el movimiento de dipolos eléctricos y en la conducción de portadores de carga eléctrica.  Típicamente, el fenómeno de corrientes transitorias se describe a través de circuitos RC (resistor-capacitor), donde un resistor y un capacitor representan la habilidad de un polímero de disipar y almacenar carga eléctrica. El modelo matemático aquí construido mediante la aplicación del cálculo fraccionario proporciona una interpretación física a sus parámetros que describen comportamientos complejos en polímeros.
