Reparations — Legally Justified and Sine qua non for Global Justice, Peace and Security
Authors: Wittmann Nora
Published: January 2021

The paper assesses current rising reparations claims for the Maafa/ Maangamizi (‘African holocaust,’ comprising transatlantic slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism) from two angles. First, it explores the connectivity of reparations and global justice, peace and security. Second, it discusses how the claim is justified in international law. The concept of reparations in international law is also explored, revealing that reparations cannot be limited to financial compensation due to the nature of the damage and international law prescriptions. Comprehensive reparations based in international law require the removal of structures built on centuries of illegal acts and aggression, in the forms of transatlantic slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism. Reparations must also lead to the restitution of sovereignty to African and indigenous peoples globally. They are indispensable to halt the destruction of the earth as human habitat, caused by the violent European cultural, political, socio-economic system known as capitalism that is rooted in transatlantic slavery.

This paper analyses the policy of reservation for Scheduled castes in Kerala. The paper provides a brief overview of the caste system and discusses the types of groups that are eligible for reservation, based on data from government reports. The stance of this paper is that affirmative action has not benefited the lower castes due to contextual factors like low school enrolment and completion rates, and high dropout and failure rates. Also, continuous addition of more and more castes to the fold of reserved categories has diluted the positive impact of the reservation policy. This paper suggests that under-representation of any social group in educational institutions should be assessed with reference to sub-populations of secondary school completers and argues that, unlike Scheduled Castes and Tribes, Other Backward Castes are not markedly under-represented. Hence, the 27% quota declared by the government recently is not justified. The paper also highlights the human resources through the education social, pedagogic, psychological and political issues involved in the policy of reservation, and suggests that quotas should be based on economic criteria rather than on caste considerations.

The overall aim of environmental laws is to protect the environment from any adversary effects in order to lay down the foundations for sustainable development and secure a better life on earth for the present and future generations. Environmental protection is more urgent today than ever especially due to global environmental problems. Such a noble aim can only be achieved through environmental democracy rather than exclusive and top-down decision-making. Morocco, for example, witnesses intermittent social protests triggered by the lack of access to environmental information and the gap between laws and their implementation.The main aim of this study is thus to argue that access to information is at the heart of democracy and that the achievement of the intertwined objectives of environment protection, sustainable development, and environmental democracy is dependent on the effective implementation of the right of access to information and the adoption a participatory approach in environmental decision-making. For this, we first define the concept of environmental information, and the access to this human right in international and Moroccos legislations then, we highlight the crucial role of the mass media in raising the public awareness of the threatening environmental issues and their rights and obligations towards the environment and finally, we shed light on the link between the right to access environmental information and the establishment of environmental democracy.

In the eastern part of Niger, which is arid to semi-arid, market gardening production systems are based on temporary, semi-permanent to permanent basins or ponds and lakes. In Guidimouni, in the Damagaram, the market gardening production system is associated with two permanent lakes, located side by side. The objective of the present study was to analyse the seasonal physico-chemical variations and the aptitudes for using the waters of the Guidimouni lakes. Three water sampling campaigns were carried out. The chemical analyses of the samples thus taken were carried out in the laboratory. The physico-chemical quality (Conductivity, salinity, total hardness, complete alkalometric title, Na+, K+ content) of the lake waters vary according to the dry or rainy seasons. The well waters are suitable for consumption and irrigation, the waters of KoginKarfasa range from poor suitability for consumption in the dry season to excellent at the end of the rainy season. The waters of KoginKanwa are unfit for consumption and irrigation due to high Na+ and K+ contents during the dry and rainy seasons.The salinity of K.Kans waters does not come from the surface but from the depths of the soil with a discontinuous character.
MEASURING INCOME INEQUALITY BETWEEN PRIME-AGED WORKERS AND THE GROWING AGEING POPULATION IN SOUTH KOREA
Authors:   Magnus Center for Research, International School Manila, Taguig, Philippines., Gyeom Chu Min
Published: January 2021

The growing ageing population in South Korea has further widened income disparity among different working age groups. Experts believe this disparity may even increase in the future and thus a mode of prediction with regard income and inequality may have to be clearly established. This paper intends to measure the current income inequality between prime working age Koreans (working population ages 30 - 59) and the ageing population (ages 60 and above), and to predict the income inequality of these two groups in the future. This paper will also predict income disparity between the two groups in Korea with the introduction of moderate or considerable government intervention. To assess the income inequality between the working and ageing population, this paper acquired data, such as wages and population of different age groups, from multiple credible sources such as the United Nations, Korean Statistics Information Service, OECD, and from other sources. The data ranged from 2006 up until 2018. These data were then converted to gini coefficient with the use of a scoring system. The gini coefficient values from the year 2006 to 2018, obtained from the previous method, were used to measure the trend in income inequality between the working and ageing population and were also used to predict the income inequality in the future. Looking at the gini coefficient values from 2006 to 2018, the values were approaching 0, which suggest that the disparity in income was actually diminishing. And reflecting back to this trend, it suggests that the gini coefficient values in the future would also diminish over time thus, supporting the claim that the income disparity between the working and ageing population would reduce. Moreover, with the implementation of applicable government policies, the gini coefficient values are expected to approach 0 at a much faster rate, which also suggests that government interventions would reduce the income gap between working and ageing population. Despite the beliefs of the expert that income disparity may increase in the future, the result proves that income gap between working and ageing population would diminish in the future, and may diminish more rapidly with potential government intervention.

Published: January 2021

This work describes a novel synthetic route for obtaining 2-amino-naphthoxazoles derived from β-lapachone, which consists of a condensation reaction between β-lapachone and thiourea in a basic medium. This synthetic approach can be seen as a potential route for obtaining 2-amino-oxazoles from quinones. The obtained amino-naphthoxazoles were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and the crystal structure of one of them was resolved by X-ray diffraction. The experimental results were compared to that obtained through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, revealing high correlation coefficients.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the Sharia Non-Banking Financial Industry (henceforth INKB) performance in Indonesia based on the criterion of sharia maqashid and its inclusive contribution. This study's population is the Sharia IKNB, with the samples include sharia insurance companies, sharia finance companies, sharia pension funds, and pawnshop companies. The data in this study were analyzed using the Simple Additive Weighting method. The study results show the highest five ranks of Sharia Maqashid Index performance calculation, namely, in respective order, DPLK Muamalah, Reindo Syariah, Asuransi Takaful Indonesia, Sarana Multigriya Finansial, and lastly is Pegadaian Indonesia. To overcome the structural poverty that has been a prominent unfinished issue and often neglected by the state, it requires the ability and sensitivity to respond to the low class' turmoil by the sustainable economy, environment, and financial industry media. The Sharia IKNB must contribute to the public in becoming the frontline in improving the structural poverty system and leading industry in achieving the highest sharia objective, to maintain the life sustainability of humans, nature, economic resource, and other life aspects of the society.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja Industri Keuangan Non Perbankan Syariah (selanjutnya INKB) di Indonesia berdasarkan kriteria maqashid syariah dan kontribusinya yang inklusif.

Structure and Activity of Pentacyclic Triterpenes Codrugs. A Review
Authors: Żwawiak Justyna , Pawełczyk Anna , Olender Dorota , Zaprutko Lucjusz
Published: January 2021

:

Triterpenes are a wide and important group of compounds that have several promising pharmacological
properties, such as hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-HIV, antioxidant, or anticancer activities. Such potent
substances can be successfully incorporated in more complex chemical systems e.g. codrugs or pro-drugs that have better
pharmacological profile. The codrug is connected with a drug formation pathway to chemically cohere at least two drug
molecules to improve positive therapeutic efficiency or decrease side effects. The codrug can be cleaved in the organism to
generate effective compounds previously used as substrates. This article presents an overview of codrugs that consist of
pentacyclic triterpene moiety that is chosen as a basic codrug moiety due to their wide range of vital activities and another
drug molecule fragment. It was found that triterpenoid codrugs are characterized by a wide range of biological activities.
However, most of them have anticancer potency.
Risk Factors for the Pap Test Cytological Changes in Iran: A Multicenter
Case-Control Study
Authors: Khatiban Mahnaz , Sangestani Gita , Greco Pantaleo , Soltanian Ali Reza
Published: January 2021

Background:

Pap tests can detect changes inside the cells of the cervix before cancer develops.

Objective:

To compare the risk factors and determinants for abnormal cytological changes in Pap
test results among women with and without atypical cytological findings in their Pap test, and to determine
the clinical manifestations associated with those changes.

Methods:

A multicenter case-control study was conducted in four clinics of gynecology and oncology
in Iran. Of a total of 201 women with a result of Pap smear, 51 were cases (atypical cytological
findings) and 150 women were control (benign/reactive changes). The data was collected by a
researcher-designed tool through the interview, observing medical records and clinical examinations.

Results:

According to the logistic regression, the women’s age (OR= 1.08), age at the menarche
(OR= 0.75), number of deliveries (OR= 1.44), and BMI (OR= 2.60) are the determinants of the
Pap test cytological changes in Iran. Taking hormonal contraceptives, using IUD, sexual activity,
and having a family history of cancer are not determinants (p>0.05). The clinical manifestations as
having an unhealthy cervix, painful sex, low abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and low back pain were
significantly higher (P< .001) in the case group than those of the control group.

Conclusion:

The Pap test cytological changes in Iranian women are associated with age, age at the
menarche, number of deliveries, and BMI. This information can help healthcare providers to predict
their patients' health situation for taking a suitable and quick action.
Монголия XXI в.: структура и факторы устойчивого сохранения номадизма
Authors:   Institute for Mongolian, Buddhist and Tibetan Studies of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zhambalova Sesegma G.
Published: January 2021

The article analyzes the factors in the consistent preservation of nomadism in Mongolia in the XXI century based on the field and literature sources. The historiographic review shows that the study of Mongolian nomadism of the last decades is becoming more significant in Russia. In relation to this, the author’s approach to the analysis of the nomadism is of great interest. This approach is not only of scientific but also of practical value. The modern Mongolian nomadism generally maintains the traditional structure. It is contributed by the harmony of integrated existence of seven factors: natural-climate, demographic, economic, zoological, technological, environmental and spiritual. Their existence demonstrates the preservation of the complex model of the classical nomadism retaining the basic structure and features. Nomadism in Mongolia is preserved also because the rapid progress to full sedentarisation is not possible due to some economic reasons. In the modern conditions this can lead to the complicated political and economic consequences. The Mongolian steppe is the main condition for the existence of nomadism, it is in a quite favourable state from the ecological point of view despite the problems arising in relation to the development of the mining industry, the expansion of the agriculture, etc. Nomadism in Mongolia in XXI century is maintained due to the preservation of all the above mentioned natureclimate and socio-economical factors.
The Appleization of finance: Charting incumbent finance's embrace of FinTech
Authors: Hendrikse Reijer , Bassens David , van Meeteren Michiel
Published: January 2021

The rise of financial technology (FinTech) engenders novel business models through integrating financial services and information and communication technologies (ICT). Digital currencies and payments, data mining, and other FinTech applications threaten to radically overhaul the financial sector. This article argues that, while we are becoming aware of how technology giants such as Apple Inc. are making inroads into financial services, we need to become more sensitive to how financial incumbents mimick ICT firms while aiming to neutralize the FinTech challenge. Practices from Silicon Valley are spilling over into ‘traditional’ finance through a process we dub Appleization. We illustrate how incumbents aim to remain indispensable amidst rapid digitization. Mimicking tech strategies, financial incumbents resort to transforming legacy ICT systems into integrated platforms, cultivating entrepreneurial ecosystems where startups are ‘free’ to compete whilst effectively being locked into the incumbent's orbit. We illustrate this by comparing Apple's business features (locking-in developers, customers and state into a hybrid business model based on a synergy between hardware, software and data-driven platform components) with emerging practices in the financial industry. Our analogy suggests that the Appleization of finance might radically transform, yet not undercut the oligopolistic position of financial incumbents.
Recovering the mundane practices of economic time
Authors: Best Jacqueline
Published: January 2021

How exactly did the neoliberal imaginary that Konings describes gain so much
traction? Was its speculative temporality smoothly translated into practice from
the writings of Hayek and others as he suggests, or was its production a
messier, more contested, and more contingent affair? In this brief commentary, I
go back to one of the key historical moments that he examines, the Volcker shock
of 1979-82, and examine some of the more mundane political and technical
struggles that defined the early Reagan Administration’s efforts to put the
neoliberal speculative logic into practice. By revealing the often-flawed
material efforts that go into producing speculative temporalities, I argue that
such struggles might allow us to arrive at a less teleological account of the
resilience of neoliberalism.
On the constitutive effects of contingent associations
Authors: Thiemann Matthias
Published: January 2021

Proposing a non-moralistic critique of the changes to neoliberal capitalism
post-crisis, Konings provides a refreshing take on the dynamics of financial
governance, emphasizing the way linkages between state and finance are
structured by a speculative logic internal to neoliberalism. In this essay, I
raise a number of questions about this characterization of neoliberalism,
focusing on issues of agency and durability. First, does the turn to systems
theory allow for a satisfactory account of the role that agency has played in
the historical expansion of neoliberalism? And second, is it possible to
envisage an end to neoliberalism when neoliberalism is so closely identified
with capital dynamics in general?

Published: January 2021

A trial to evaluate the treatment of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) was established with tulathromycin (Tul-group) and tilmicosin (Til-group). This latter antibacterial drug is pharmaceutically prepared for 8-10 d sustained release. The challenge was carried out with spontaneously BRD-affected bulls, divided into Til-group (ɳ=44) and Tul-group (ɳ=50). Bulls were treated only once with either antibacterial drugs. Bacteriological analysis, arterial and venous blood chemistry, gasometrical parameters, and body temperature were obtained before and after treatment. The clinical cure rate was registered on days 7, 15, and 30. No mortality was observed. Clinical cure was statistically undistinguishable on these days (P> 0.05), and in both groups, all animals were considered healthy until day 30. Only customary pathogens were isolated i.e., Mannhemia hemolytica 38.88% (70/180), Pasteurella multocida 26.11% (47/180), Histophilus somni 18.33% (33/180, and Trueperella pyogenes 16.66% (30/180).
Attenuation of a Turkeypoxvirus field strain as an alternative to heterologous vaccination in turkeys
Authors: Nolasco Eduardo , Quintana José Antonio , Valdés Liliana Manuela , Rangel Lucía , Cobos-Marín Laura
Published: January 2021

Avian pox can severely impact turkey production systems. Vaccination programs in Mexico use commercially available Fowlpoxvirus vaccines, that are used across different bird species. Nonetheless, there are reports of sporadic disease outbreaks among vaccinated turkeys, which suggest that heterologous vaccines may provide limited immunity, presenting the need to develop homologous vaccines that can better protect turkeys. This study compared the protection granted to turkey chicks by a commercial Fowlpoxvirus vaccine and by a live attenuated Turkeypoxvirus vaccine after a challenge with a field isolated Turkeypoxvirus virus. Histopathology, polymerase chain reaction, and sequencing of DNA were used for viral identification. A Turkeypoxvirus strain was first isolated in chicken embryo lesions, and subsequently adapted through serial passes in chorioallantoic membrane to produce the homologous vaccine. The attenuated virus was used as a vaccine when a 104.4 embryo ID50/mL titre was reached. Three groups of three-week-old turkey chicks were used for challenge experiments. Subjects in Group 1 were immunized with the attenuated Turkeypoxvirus vaccine (homologous vaccine). Chicks in Group 2 were vaccinated with the commercially available heterologous vaccine (Fowlpoxvirus). Subjects in Group 3 were not vaccinated and received only saline solution (control group). Two weeks after vaccination, animals from Group 1 reached a 97.7 ND50 seroneutralization titre, while levels reached in Group 2 birds and in control chicks were 11.7 ND50 (Group 2) and zero, respectively. At this time, all groups were challenged with a suspension of a field-isolated Turkeypox virus. The homologous vaccine afforded 100% protection in Group 1 (10/10 individuals), while only 10% (1/10) of individuals in Group 2 were protected by the commercial heterologous Fowlpoxvirus vaccine. None of the non-immunized birds in Group 3 were protected (0/10). These results show that the homologous vaccine afforded a greater protection against a Turkeypox virus infection than that observed for the heterologous vaccine, and that a homologous vaccine can be efficiently produced by isolating and attenuating the virus from turkeypox lesions, through chorioallantoic membrane serial passes.

Tras recordar que varios filósofos contemporáneos defendieron la multifuncionalidad lógico-semántica del verbo ser, presento la teoría unificada de las oraciones copulativas propuesta por un generativista italiano. Andrea Moro reivindica la interpretación aristotélica del verbo ser y sostiene que, en las oraciones adscriptivas, ecuativas y existenciales, este verbo solo expresa información gramatical. En mi exposición, aclaro nociones técnicas, tales como ‘(a)simetría sintáctica’, ‘cláusula reducida’, ‘verbo de ascenso’ y ‘oración copulativa inversa’. También señalo algunas cuestiones filosóficas inspiradas por la teoría de Moro.

Secara khusus, perencanaan karir dibutuhkan bagi siswa untuk merencanakan kelanjutan proses pendidikan yang akan ditempuhnya sehingga siswa dapat lebih terfokus dan bekerja secara efektif dalam menggunakan sumber daya yang ada untuk mengejar karirnya. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah untuk mengaplikasikan permainan monopoli karir siswa dalam bimbingan kelompok untuk mematangkan perencanaan karir di sebuah SMP berbasis Islam di Surabaya. Pengabdian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan desain one group pre-test post-test, Partisipan dalam pengabdian ini adalah 4 siswa dengan skor perencanaan karir berkategori rendah. Hasil tes uji deskriptif menunjukan bahwa terjadi peningkatan secara rata-rata, namun tidak terjadi perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik di antara dua kelompok pada perencanaan karir siswa. Laporan ini menyimpulkan bahwa tidak adapeningkatan secara signifikan pada perencanaan karir siswa setelah penerapan permainan monopoli dalam bimbingan kelompok .

Objetivo: avaliar a capacidade pulmonar de um grupo de idosos praticantes de hidroginástica. Materiais e Métodos: estudo do tipo levantamento, desenvolvido com 132 indivíduos pertencentes a um grupo da terceira idade praticante de hidroginástica na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, de maio a junho de 2008. Foram utilizados, para a avaliação respiratória, uma ficha com dados gerais, espirometria e manovacuometria, sendo os dados analisados descritivamente, e após, para análise estatística, foi realizado o Teste Exato de Fischer (p< 0,05). Resultados: Na avaliação espirométrica, 46,97% dos idosos apresentaram-se dentro dos parâmetros da normalidade. Já, em relação à força muscular respiratória, a maioria dos valores encontrados de Pressão Inspiratória Máxima (92,42%) e de Pressão Expiratória Máxima (59,09%) estava abaixo dos valores previstos. Porém, salienta-se que, o grupo com mais tempo de prática de hidroginástica obteve 66,67% de Pressões Expiratórias Máximas dentro dos valores previstos. No grupo de idosos que não declarou ter patologias respiratórias 46,30% apresentou alteração no exame espirométrico. Conclusão: os resultados encontrados apontam para um perfil respiratório característico do processo de envelhecimento, com perdas em capacidade pulmonar e força de músculos respiratórios, porém minimizadas pela prática de atividade física regular. LUNG CAPACITY IN ELDERLY PRACTITIONERS OF HYDROGYMNASTICS abstract Objective: to evaluate the lung capacity of an elderly practitioner group of hydrogymnastics. Materials and Methods: survey study, developed with 132 individuals belonging to an elderly practitioner group of hydrogymnastics at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, from May to June of 2008. It was used for the respiratory evaluation a sheet for general data, spirometry and manovacuometry, being the data analyzed descriptively, and later, for statistical analysis, it was used Fischer’s Exact Test (p <0.05). Results: In the spirometric evaluation, 46.97% of the elderly showed normal parameters. However, in relation to the respiratory muscle strength, most of the found values of maximum inspiratory pressure (92.42%) and maximum expiratory pressure (59.09%) were below the predicted levels. However, the group with longer practice of hydrogymnastics obtained 66.67% of maximum expiratory pressure in these predicted values. In the elderly group that declared not to have any respiratory diseases, 46.30% showed alteration in the spirometry exam. Conclusion: the finding results indicate a typical respiratory profile characterized by the aging process, with losses in lung capacity and strength of respiratory muscles, but minimized by the practice of regular physical activity.

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a opinião de idosos sobre a influência do zumbido no bem-estar. Foram entrevistados 11 idosos, sendo 7 institucionalizados e 4, não institucionalizados. As idades variaram entre 60 e 95 anos. Eles responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada elaborada para este estudo. A avaliação qualitativa dos dados foi feita de acordo com os pressupostos de Giorgi (1978). Verificou-se que os idosos institucionalizados e não institucionalizados consideraram que o zumbido interfere no bem-estar. palavras-chave Zumbido. Idosos.  Qualidade de Vida. abstract The aim of this study was to assess the opinion of the elderly on the influence of tinnitus in the welfare. Eleven elderly were interviewed, 7 were institutionalized and 4 were not. Their ages ranged from 60 to 95 years old. The elderly answered to a semistrutured interview. Qualitative evaluation of the data was done according to the assumptions of Giorgi (1978). It was found that the majority of the elderly considered that tinnitus has a negative influence on welfare.

A alimentação humana é uma prática que envolve saberes e fazeres que extrapolam os domínios biológicos e nutricionais e derivam de percepções subjetivas e construções sociais, culturais e históricas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver uma reflexão sobre os percursos, práticas e aprendizados alimentares de idosos que participam do Grupo de Terceira Idade (GTI) do Unilasalle/RS. Trata-se de um estudo etnográfico construído a partir de observação participante e entrevistas orientadas por um roteiro semi-estruturado com perguntas sobre a história de vida alimentar, o espaço social alimentar, assim como os processos de diferenciação social advindos das práticas alimentares. Os dados preliminares apontam que as antigas práticas alimentares dos idosos pesquisados estão sustentadas sobre uma memória social alimentar que informa sobre as regras, interdições e tabus alimentares. Tal memória, modelada pela família e outros grupos de identidade significativos para eles, orienta aquilo que deve/pode ser ingerido ou não. Tais práticas alimentares tradicionais estão sendo tensionadas e/ou atualizadas a partir da interferência de conhecimentos científicos propagados pela modernidade, como as novas práticas educativas desenvolvidas no GTI e os meios de comunicação em geral.

Até 2050 haverá dois bilhões de idosos no mundo todo, sendo que 80% dos idosos estarão locados nos países em desenvolvimento. Nessa população, verificam-se mudanças qualitativas e quantitativas em aspectos corporais (físicos) e cognitivos. A redução de massa muscular em idosos, conhecida como sarcopenia, é um exemplo de uma mudança quantitativa, pois ocorre a perda de 1% da massa muscular ao ano após a quarta década de vida, podendo ser acentuada com o avanço da idade (maior incidência em adultos com idade superior a 65 anos). Diversos fatores podem interferir na sarcopenia, sendo um deles o exercício físico resistido, logo o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão da literatura vigente a respeito desse fator modificável da sarcopenia na população idosa. Os métodos utilizados foram buscas sistemáticas nas plataformas do Scielo e Medline, cujos anos de publicações revisadas compreendeu-se de 2000 a 2011. Os resultados mostraram que pode haver reversão da sarcopenia quando os idosos são submetidos aos exercícios resistidos através do aumento da massa muscular, assim como o inverso também é verdadeiro, ou seja, ocorre o declínio da mesma e a elevação da infiltração do tecido adiposo na fibra muscular (myosteatosis) quando o treinamento resistido é suspenso. Porém, quando submetidos ao retreinamento ocorre novamente a progressão no ganho de massa muscular. Conclui-se que o presente artigo de revisão demonstrou que a sarcopenia pode ser a principal causadora de quedas em idosos, pois a perda de massa muscular ocasiona a redução da força muscular, proporcionando um desequilíbrio da musculatura do idoso e facilitando, assim as quedas.

Baltes e Baltes (1990) propuseram um modelo de desenvolvimento adaptativo denominado de seleção, otimização e compensação (Modelo SOC). O artigo concentrou análise na estratégia da seleção e apresentou como objetivo o de analisar como atletas corredores selecionaram suas ações na prática esportiva. Foi realizada uma triagem com 83 atletas para, posteriormente, 11 atletas (média de idade 59,91 ± 0,58 anos) preencherem um questionário e realizarem uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados provenientes das entrevistas demonstraram que os atletas utilizaram a estratégia da seleção para direcionar sua vida ou superar perdas/dificuldades e com isso permanecerem na prática da corrida ou melhorarem a performance esportiva por mais tempo.
