Published: December 2024

Globalization has dramatically reshaped the landscape of local businesses, influencing everything from competition to consumer behaviour. The integration of global markets has led to increased competition, as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must now compete with international brands that often have greater resources and brand recognition. This shift has driven local businesses to innovate and adapt in order to meet global standards and customer expectations. Global supply chains have allowed local businesses to access a wider range of materials and technologies, leading to improved product quality and diversity. However, reliance on foreign markets and suppliers also exposes them to global economic fluctuations, making them more vulnerable to external shocks like currency changes or trade tariffs. At the same time, globalization has encouraged the spread of digital marketing and e-commerce, enabling local businesses to reach new audiences both domestically and abroad. While globalization offers growth opportunities, it can also threaten traditional industries and local cultures by pushing standardization over uniqueness. For local businesses to thrive in this environment, a balance between embracing global advancements and preserving local identity is essential.
Elements of biologization to ensure high sugar beet profitability and increase soil fertility in Podillia, Ukraine
Authors: Voitova H. P.
Published: December 2024

The purpose. The research is dedicated to the ways of increasing soil fertility and profitability of sugar beet growing on a basis of biological fertilization systems in grain-beet crop rotations under the conditions of sufficient moisture in Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.
Methods. Laboratory, field, statistical.
Results. The results of investigation of ways to increase soil fertility and profitability of sugar beet cultivation are given. The experiment included technological components of sustainable growing sugar beet under the conditions of sharp deficiency of organic fertilizers, i.e. elements of biologization (straw and green manure) were used as alternative organic fertilizer for crops on leguminous fore-crop. Positive results of an increase in profitability of growing sugar beet and soil fertility are obtained. Systems of organic-mineral fertilization with manure use, at the expanded renewal of humus soil conditions, have provided the higher productivity on the basis of application of alternative organic fertilizers where indicators of humus soil conditions were close to the sufficient. The lowest costs of fertilizer ensured almost two-fold increase of profitability and were an advantage of fertilization system with elements of biologization with manure application.
Conclusions. Under the conditions of sharp deficiency of organic and mineral fertilizers basic elements of biologization are necessary, such as green manure of inter-crop, and also crops of long-term grasses and leguminous crops as predecessors. It will provide an increase in indicators of profitability of sugar beet growing without decrease of soil fertility.

Authors: Santos Selma Cruz , Oliveira Alan Jardel de
Published: December 2024

Este artigo, que é um recorte da dissertação de Mestrado, objetiva investigar a variação na lateral palatal /ʎ/, cujas variantes são a lateral palatal [ʎ], a despalatalização [l] e a semivocalização [j], no falar alagoano, buscando, identificar e analisar os fatores linguísticos e sociais que influenciam o processo da semivocalização. Em Alagoas foram observadas três variantes [ʎ], [j] e [l], contudo neste recorte daremos ênfase a variante semivovalizada [j]. Foi constituído um corpus de 2.151 ocorrências, coletadas por meio de entrevistas com 144 informantes em 6 cidades alagoanas. Todos os dados passaram por análise acústica - Praat versão 6.0.20 (64.bit). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente com métodos de regressão multinível - software Ri386 3.3.1. As variáveis sociais investigadas foram o sexo/gênero, a cidade, a idade e a escolaridade. Analisamos as variáveis de nível mais agregado - o indivíduo e o item lexical. Já as variáveis linguísticas investigadas foram contexto anterior, contexto seguinte, tamanho da palavra, tonicidade, bem como analisamos também a frequência do item lexical. Os dados nos revelaram que o processo não é condicionado por variáveis linguísticas. Concluímos que a escolaridade exerce grande influência na semivocalização. Os dados apontam favorecimento do sexo/gênero masculino. Concluímos que a semivocalização é um processo de mudança linguística em progresso.
Políticas linguísticas em Angola
Authors: Sacalembe Júlio Epalanga , Souza Pedro Daniel dos Santos
Published: December 2024

Este artigo propõe refletir sobre as políticas linguísticas implementadas em Angola que fomentaram o silenciamento das línguas nacionais, a partir da análise das ações implementadas no período da colonização portuguesa, sobretudo em meados do século XX, e no pós-independência do país, materializadas nos documentos oficiais. Assim, o presente trabalho se enquadra no campo das Políticas linguísticas, nos termos Severo (2013), e discute a colonização linguística, como proposto por Mariani (2003, 2004, 2011). No século XX, os colonizadores de expressão portuguesa usaram a política do Estatuto do indigenato e a política assimilacionista de Salazar, analisadas no presente trabalho, como ferramentas que tinham a finalidade de hegemonizar a língua portuguesa e desvalorizar as diferentes línguas nacionais angolanas. No pós-independência, as reformas curriculares seguiram a mesma perspectiva colonialista. Considerando as questões analisadas, concluiu-se que as políticas linguísticas, mesmo do pós-independência, os parâmetros ideológicos do Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (MPLA), o projeto um só povo uma só nação, a educação escolar implementada no território angolano teriam provocado e motivado a tentativa da desvalorização da diversidade linguística e cultural nos contextos escolares e fora deles, colocando, assim, as línguas nacionais angolanas num lugar inferiorizado e marginalizado.
Thank you for the music

Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, problematizamos e refletimos sobre o potencial do uso de músicas como recurso para expansão de repertórios no processo de educação linguística crítica a partir da interação de uma aluna e sua professora durante um projeto de ensino de inglês em contexto universitário. Apesar de o material empírico ter sido gerado de forma remota, em contexto pandêmico, neste estudo ampliamos a discussão sobre o uso de músicas em contexto de educação linguística crítica para outros modos de interação. Respaldamo-nos nos estudos pós-críticos para rizomatizar o material empírico composto pelo conjunto de registros das trocas dialogadas que ocorreram entre as duas durante o projeto em atividades escritas multimodais realizadas e revisadas; os planejamentos individuais das agentes de pesquisa; os feedbacks, tanto orais quanto escritos; e transcrições das videoconferências dos encontros semanais. Mostramos como em um projeto de ensino, desenvolvido durante a pandemia de Covid-19, foi possível manter o contato com o idioma e expandir diferentes repertórios: linguísticos, sociais, afetivos, lexicais, culturais, entre outros. Para além disso, o trabalho com músicas favorece o processo de reflexão do que sentimos, de como projetamos nossos sentimentos, e de como pensamos nas coisas que acontecem em nosso mundo. Concluímos afirmando que é possível adaptar o trabalho realizado para outros contextos e promover discussões que fortaleçam a expansão da educação linguística crítica.

In the twenty-first century, when psychoanalysis, as a clinical practice created by Z. Freud, is already sufficiently developed as a method of treating mental disorders by non-medical methods, psychoanalytic interdisciplinary research continues to develop. Psychoanalysis can serve to study artistic creativity, culture, religion, everyday life, etc., since very often it is the psychoanalytic concept that is one of the keys to understanding the deep essence of various phenomena and their manifestation in a particular culture.

Новые реалии в налоговой реформе России
Authors: Шокумова Р.Е. , Шаваев А.Р.
Published: December 2024

В современных экономических условиях основным вектором развития системы налогообложения в России является поиск баланса между обеспечением доходов бюджета и созданием благоприятного инвестиционного климата. В частности, актуализация НДС и акцизов представляется одним из направлений для увеличения налоговых поступлений без значительного увеличения налоговой нагрузки на производство. В связи с этим новые реалии системы налогообложения заключаются в усилении использования цифровых технологий в налоговом администрировании, что позволит повысить эффективность сбора налогов и минимизировать возможности для уклонения от налогообложения.

In the current economic conditions, the main vector of development of the tax system in Russia is the search for a balance between ensuring budget revenues and creating a favorable investment climate. In particular, updating VAT and excise taxes seems to be one of the areas for increasing tax revenues without significantly increasing the tax burden on production. In this regard, the new realities of the tax system consist in increasing the use of digital technologies in tax administration, which will improve the efficiency of tax collection and minimize the opportunities for tax evasion.

Authors: MOREIRA Álvaro Alexandrino Silva , AVANCINI Paulo Roberto , SOUSA Erivelto Fioresi de
Published: December 2024

Different lean tools can be applied in the construction industry with the aim of cutting down on rework and reducing waste. One of these tools is the Last Planner System (LPS), which aims to increase team collaboration by improving the quality of information through collective sessions subdivided into Long Term, Medium Term and Short Term. In this study, a theoretical survey was carried out on lean principles and the LPS tool. The method was then implemented over a 56-day period on a 460-unit housing project in order to standardize its management and planning. To this end, based on the Long-Term Plan offered by the board of directors as a target, monthly Medium-Term meetings and targets were held and Short-Term weekly and daily controls were carried out. The results were assessed by the Restriction Removal Index (IRR), which had an average result of 62.2%. The main offenders of the restrictions were internal causes, the most impacting being the lack of manpower and planning. The Adherence Indicator (AI) had an average value of 24%. The Percentage of Completed Packages (PPC) showed that of 75 activities carried out, 90% were executed safely and 80% with quality. Finally, the LPS application method proved to be effective as a way of monitoring the schedule, since it contributed to the removal of 43 restrictions and an increase of 82.5% in the number of activities completed.
Ideologies and Encounters of Ideas at the Crossroads of the Ancient World
Authors: SCHUMANN Andrew , TARHAN Zozan , SAZONOV Vladimir
Published: December 2024

In the article introducing this special issue, we consider the prospects of cultural diffusionism. We show that diffusion is not a uniform phenomenon since it includes direct, partial, multi-layered, and reverse forms. The complex approach to diverse forms of diffusions is called by us the crossroads concept. It aligns with cultural relativism which examines cultural traits through diffusion and modification. In world-systems analysis, cultural diffusion is analyzed within the world-economy framework, rooted in the classical Marxism view of economic systems as foundational with culture as a superstructure. Neo-Marxism and dependency theory highlight a division between developed and developing countries, positing that cultural influences often flow from the center to the periphery. However, this view oversimplifies cultural diffusion’s complexities, as we demonstrate. Moreover, cultural diffusion often precedes trade route establishment, with religious diffusion frequently facilitating subsequent trade communications. This special issue, edited by us, explores cultural diffusion and its varied forms, challenging the notion that it fits neatly into a center-to-periphery movement.
Mounds of Fire! The Tumular Necropolis of Borșa-La Cișmele (Vlădeni, Iași County)
Authors: BRAȘOVEANU Casandra , ASĂNDULESEI Andrei , BRUNCHI Radu-Alexandru , COTIUGĂ Vasile
Published: December 2024

North-eastern Romania benefits of a high density of tumuli, belonging to various prehistoric or historic
communities. Previous endeavors of our team have identified within this workspace, with the help of LiDAR data,
aerial photographs and cartographical supports, a number of 1791 of such mounds, usually placed on hilltops, forming
somewhat-linear arrangements, but also exceptional situations, such as the case of the tumular necropolis of Borșa-
La Cișmele, a novel discovery that does not resemble anything studied so far. The site comprises at least six mounds,
out of which we have identified two groups of mounds connected by earthworks, shaping semi-circles. After the
documentation stage, our team has carried out fieldwalks, with which occasion the presence of reddish coloured soil
was observed. This characteristic was signaled only on the surface of the four connected mounds, suggesting that the
tumuli in question were not guarding some inhumation burials, but were witnesses of an impressive cremation ritual.
Thus, the current paper aims at signaling the presence of the monuments in question within the barrow landscape of
NE Romania, as a first step in the research strategy undertaken by our team.
The Assyrian Impact on Urarṭu: Toponyms and Ideological Motifs
Authors: TARHAN Zozan
Published: December 2024

The main element of the Assyrian culture that Urarṭu adopted was the Neo-Assyrian cuneiform writing system. Along with the writing system various aspects of Assyrian culture were taken over as well. The Urarṭian royal titulary and epithets, both of which were strongly connected to the royal ideology, were taken over from the Assyrians. Aside from them, other ideological motifs were borrowed as well. The present paper investigates the Assyrian patterns and ideological motifs, which were adopted and adapted in Urarṭian royal inscriptions. Additionally it discusses the toponyms Nai’ri, Urarṭu and Bia (the latter often referred to as Biainili in modern studies) in the Assyrian and Urarṭian sources, the relationship between these toponyms, and their development over time.

3) the defensive equipment and its hierarchical meaning during the period;

4) the infantry subdivisions and their utility for both representatives of the military comparison followed closely by the conclusion of this comparison.
Chinese Opera Character Painting Style Transfer: Using AI to Generate and Preserve Art
Authors: Gao Xirong , Noh Liza Mohammad , Huang Zhongwei
Published: December 2024

Chinese Opera characters ink painting, a distinctive blend of Chinese color ink painting and traditional opera, reflects the rich aesthetic heritage of Chinese culture. The advent of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology presents new opportunities for preserving and innovating this traditional art form. While style transfer techniques have been widely applied to Western art, the freehand style of Chinese ink painting remains under-explored. This paper fills this gap by constructing datasets of Chinese Opera character paintings through field visits and web crawling. This paper develops an automated system for transforming realistic opera character images into Chinese opera character paintings by leveraging generative adversarial networks (GAN) technology. The generated results prove that the GAN-based model is able to learn the key features of a style image and be able to distinguish the relationship between people in the image, it is better than an ordinary person with no foundation would draw. This research advances AI’s application in traditional art and provides a new thought to the preservation, dissemination, and modern reinterpretation of Chinese Opera characters ink painting.

Francis Bacon’ın Bilim ve Tümevarım Hakkındaki Görüşlerine Yönelik Bir İrdeleme
Authors: Özsoy Somuncuoğlu Seda , Sarılı Gülan
Published: December 2024

İngiliz düşünür, siyasetçi ve yazar olan Francis Bacon, insanlığın doğanın tüm sırlarını keşfedebilmesi ve kendini geliştirebilmesi için deneysel bilimin önemine yaptığı vurgu ve önerdiği “yeni” bilimsel yöntem bağlamında modern bilimin öncülerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Bacon, ilk olarak 1605 yılında yayımlanan Bilimlerin İlerlemesi adlı eserinde uygun bir bilimsel yöntem olarak gördüğü yaklaşımı hakkındaki düşüncelerini ortaya koyar. Ardından düşünür, Great Instauration adıyla bilinen fakat tamamlanamayan projesinin bir bileşeni şeklindeki iki kısımdan oluşan Novum Organum adlı eserinde doğa bilimlerini anlamak için doğru yöntemin ne olduğunu açıklar. Bacon eserlerinde, insanlığın bilgisini arttırmanın ve kendisi için daha da önemli amaç olan doğanın kontrolünü ele geçirmenin tek yolu şeklinde benimsediği tümevarımı ayrıntılı olarak resmeder. Bu tavır aynı zamanda Aristoteles ve onun takipçilerine yönelik bir karşı çıkışı barındırır. Ona göre, Aristoteles’in tartışmalı ve güçlüklerle dolu felsefesi ve bunun özellikle skolastikler tarafından dinle aşırı bir biçimde sentezlenmesi doğa felsefesini sınırlayan birtakım sorunları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bacon, bu ve benzeri meseleleri çözüme kavuşturmaya yönelmiştir. Sözü edilen bilgiler ekseninde bu makalede, Bacon’ın bilim anlayışı, idol kavramlaştırması, Aristoteles hakkındaki eleştirileri ve bilimsel yöntemle ilgili görüşleri özlü bir biçimde serimlenmeye çalışılacaktır.
РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ ЗИМОВКИ ПЧЕЛИНЫХ СЕМЕЙ ПРИ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИИ ХЕЛАТНЫХ ВИТАМИННО-МИНЕРАЛЬНЫХ ПОДКОРМОК
Authors: Воробьева С.Л. , Михеева Е.А. , Шишкин А.В. , Попкова М.Ю.
Published: December 2024

Цель исследования заключалась в изучении влияния кормовой добавки, состоящей из минеральных компонентов, водорастворимых и жирорастворимых витаминов в хелатной форме, на состояние пчелиных семей после зимнего содержания. Исследования проводили в течение 2021–2024 гг. на четырех опытных группах, подобранных методом пар-аналогов. Изучаемые группы располагались на территории Завьяловского района Удмуртской Республики в одинаковых климатических условиях в течение календарного года. В процессе исследования проанализированы изменения силы пчелиных семей после зимовки, расхода кормового меда в течение зимовки, сохранности пчелиных семей в период зимнего содержания. При проведении опыта отличие заключалось в использовании кормовой добавки в различной дозировке и хелатной формы подкормки. Использование хелатной кормовой добавки в максимальной дозировке за три года исследований показало, что это приводит к максимальному износу организма рабочих пчел, ослаблению пчелиных семей и к их гибели. Наилучший вариант хелатно-витаминной подкормки показал себя в дозировке 0,25 мл на 0,5 л сахарного сиропа в жидкой форме, в виде сухой смеси – в дозировке 0,5 г на 0,5 л сахарного сиропа. При сравнении хелатной кормовой добавки и традиционной, использовавшейся в первой группе, лучший результат был именно в этой группе. Первая опытная группа имела максимальный показатель 6,5 улочки, что больше, чем в контроле и третьей группе на 0,7 и 1,9 улочки соответственно.

The research purpose was to study the effect of a feed additive consisting of mineral components, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins in chelated form on the state of bee colonies after wintering. The studies were carried out on 4 experimental groups, selected by the method of pairs-analogues during 2021–2024. The analyzed groups were located on the territory of Zavyalovsky district in the Udmurt Republic under the same climatic conditions during the calendar year. When performing the experiment, we analyzed changes in the strength of bee colonies after wintering, the consumption of feed honey during wintering, and the safety of bee colonies during the winter keeping. There was the difference in using feed additives of various dosages and a chelated form of feed in the experiment. The use of a chelated feed additive in the maximum dosage for three years leads to maximum wearing out of the bodies of worker bees and leads to the death of bee colonies and their weakening. The best option for chelate-vitamin feeding has proven to be a dosage of 0.25 ml per 0.5 liter of liquid sugar syrup, and as for the dry mixture – 0.5 g per 0.5 liter of sugar syrup. When comparing the use of a chelated feed additive and the traditional one used in the first group, the best result was in this group. The first experimental group had a maximum indicator of 6.5 of between-frames space, which is more than in the control and in the 3rd groups by 0.7 and 1.9 of between-frames space, respectively.

Cambio tecnológico y trabajo de la ganadería bovina bonaerense del siglo XXI
Authors: Capdevielle Bruno
Published: December 2024

La ganadería bovina argentina ha presentado en las últimas décadas transformaciones tecnológicas vinculadas a los procesos de intensificación y relocalización de la producción. Estos cambios, movilizados centralmente por la expansión del uso agrícola, tuvieron como uno de sus centros a la provincia de Buenos Aires. En este marco, los análisis de la intensificación se enfocaron predominantemente en los aspectos técnicos y económicos de las transformaciones, quedando sin ser examinados los cambios en aspectos de carácter social como la organización trabajo, las características de las tareas y la demanda de calificaciones en las labores ganaderas. El presente artículo se propone abordar el cambio tecnológico dado durante el siglo XXI en la ganadería bonaerense a partir del trabajo y quienes lo realizan. En base a entrevistas con productores, técnicos y empleados ganaderos indagamos los cambios en labores vinculadas a la alimentación, la sanidad y la reproducción haciendo énfasis en las transformaciones en los tiempos y tipos trabajo, las calificaciones requeridas y el control del proceso de producción. Se busca de esta forma integrar el trabajo y los trabajadores al análisis del cambio tecnológico en la ganadería bovina contemporánea.
Percepção de agregação de valor da cooperativa agrícola no olhar de especialistas e de produtores rurais cooperados
Authors: Pavão Juliane Andressa , Voese Simone Bernardes
Published: December 2024

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar a percepção de agregação de valor econômico, social e ambiental em cooperativas agrícolas sob a ótica de especialistas e produtores rurais cooperados. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um estudo exploratório, qualitativo e quantitativo, por meio do Método Delphi. Os achados revelam que, segundo a percepção dos produtores rurais, a cooperativa agrega valor econômico por meio do cumprimento dos contratos firmados, da distribuição das sobras líquidas e da assistência técnica de qualidade. Agrega valor social ao incluir mulheres produtoras agrícolas em suas atividades, ao realizar cursos, palestras e treinamentos, bem como, ao impulsionar o desenvolvimento da região. E ainda, os produtores rurais percebem a agregação de valor ambiental por meio de orientações da destinação correta dos resíduos, e coletando as embalagens dos defensivos agrícolas. Os resultados da pesquisa contribuem diretamente para o ambiente do cooperativismo agrícola a fim de orientar práticas que agreguem valor econômico, social e ambiental aos produtores rurais.
El Movimiento Rural de Acción Católica en Chaco (1964-1972). Una reconstrucción histórica en clave agraria.
Authors: Fernández Leonardo Hernán
Published: December 2024

La tesis abordó el proceso de organización política que experimentaron las y los pequeños y medianos productores algodoneros de la provincia del Chaco durante la década de 1960 y principios de 1970. La organización de estos y estas productoras fue posible gracias a la labor del Movimiento Rural de Acción Católica Argentina (en adelante MR). Luego de una primera etapa de organización interna, emergieron a la vida pública participando de masivas movilizaciones y acciones directas en la región algodonera de la provincia. A lo largo de este proceso, el MR se fue conformando como un movimiento social que tenía una identidad propia que excedía la católica. Su identidad también se definía por la organización social territorial que fue desplegando, la defensa de la producción y la comercialización agraria, y por el rango etario de la mayoría de las y los participantes. Además, el MR fue un actor social donde comenzó a cristalizar una corriente de género que intentó hacer visible el trabajo de las mujeres rurales y que estimulaba su formación y participación política. Finalmente, en 1972 cuando la movilización del MR fue considerada excesiva para la jerarquía eclesial ésta tomó la decisión de expulsarlo de Acción Católica.

Experiences of owning and successfully managing a business as an entrepreneur in earlier career in villages by one of the authors of this paper stimulated interest in assessing the conduct of small, micro- and medium enterprises (SMMEs), and the doctoral study by the first author connected with it to express these experiences. The purpose of the study was to explore the uncompetitive attitudes prevalent in rural and township (RUTO) SMMEs that hinder their success. The study was of a qualitative study design. Data collection took place by field notes writing the experiences of some unfavourable conduct “they should not do!” by SMMEs in RUTOs, where there were too many SMME failures. The joint observation by first and second authors of bad conduct of a funeral parlour, prompted this paper, especially on noting that there are fields notes enough to find meaning in the RUTO SMMEs’ unfavourable conduct. The field notes provided the data which were analysed using thematic content analysis. The conclusion drawn from the misconduct patterns exhibited by RUTO SMMEs is that these businesses often engage in unethical, unsafe, and unprofessional practices, which negatively impact their customers and the community, and can lead to a decline in their corporate reputation. A key recommendation for supporting SMMEs in overcoming challenges related to sustainable business practices is to build their capacity through training opportunities and access to business development services.
Textured mat influence on muscle activity and balance strategies for chronic ankle instability
Authors: Konphet Nanthiphak , Siriphorn Akkradate
Published: December 2024

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of textured mats on muscle activation and postural sway to enhance neuromuscular control and balance strategies in the rehabilitation of chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Methods

Using a within-subject design, we measured centre of mass (CoM) acceleration and muscle activation in 28 CAI patients on firm, foam, and textured surfaces during double-leg and single-leg stances. Electromyography (EMG) measured muscle activity, while an integrated accelerometer in the EMG unit captured CoM acceleration. Statistical analysis using the Friedman test for overall differences across conditions and Dunn’s test for pairwise comparisons, with significance set at p < 0.05.

Results

CoM acceleration decreased on the textured mat during single-leg stances compared to the foam surface, indicating a moderated balance challenge. The textured mat also significantly reduced muscle activity compared to the foam surface across all conditions. However, it enhanced the activation of key muscles – vastus medialis and medial gastrocnemius – during double-leg stances compared to the firm surface.

Conclusions

The textured mat provided a unique stimulus that facilitated specific muscle engagement and improved proprioception without destabilizing balance. This suggests a potential value in early CAI rehabilitation phases.
The Association between Pelvic Asymmetry and Lateral Abdominal Muscle Activity in a Healthy Population

Published: December 2024

The human pelvis is subjected to forces generated by abdominal muscles. Pelvic asymmetry (PA) might therefore be related to the asymmetrical postural activity of the lateral abdominal muscles (LAMs: transversus abdominis (TrA); internal oblique (IO); external oblique (EO)). The main aim of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between PA, expressed by the asymmetry index in the frontal (PAIf) and sagittal (PAIs) planes and LAM postural activity as described by the tissue deformation index (TDI). A group of 126 healthy volunteers (59 females) was involved. Positions of the anatomic landmarks for PA measurement were registered by the motion capture system. The response of LAMs to postural disturbation was recorded using the M-mode ultrasounds. We found weak negative correlations between PAIf and TDI values as well for the right and the left side of the body except for EO muscle (PAIf-TRA right: r = −0.11, left: r = −0.06; PAIf-IO right: r = −0.15, left: r = −0.10; PAIf-EO right: r = 0.02, left: r = 0.12). On the contrary, analysis between PAIs and TDI values revealed weak positive correlations, also except for EO muscle (PAIf-TRA right: r = 0.004, left: r = 0.003; PAIf-IO right: r = 0.05, left: r = 0.06; PAIf-EO right: r = 0.07, left: r = −0.02). For all tested correlations, we recorded non-significant outcomes (all p > 0.05). We found no evidence to support the claim that PA is related to the LAM activity in the group of young, healthy, and active people.

This study analyzed the transition of Brazilian volleyball athletes from youth national teams to adult national teams, and examined the relative age effect in the selection of athletes for youth categories and their transition to the adult category. In youth categories, 326 athletes participating in the U18 and U20 women's and U19 and U21 men's world championships between 2001 and 2021 were prospectively analyzed. In the adult category, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 55 athletes who participated in the Olympic Games or World Championships between 2004 and 2022. Our results showed that approximately 20% of athletes participating in youth categories advanced to the adult national team. However, around 80% of adult teams comprised athletes who were part of youth categories. An athlete who progressed through both youth categories was 35 times more likely to be selected to the adult national teams compared to an athlete who only participated in the U18/U19 youth team. In youth national teams, there was a higher call-up rate for athletes born earlier. Despite this, athletes born later were more likely to advance to the adult national team.

Whole-body vibration (WBV), an intervention for enhancing athletes’ exercise performance (muscle strength and power), is often used either as a supplement or an alternative to conventional training. The current systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effects of WBV on exercise performance in athletes. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials published from database inception to April 2024. We analyzed three key components of exercise performance: muscle power (measured in terms of countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) height), strength (measured in terms of isometric and concentric torque of the knee extensors and flexors), and aerobic cardiovascular endurance (measured in terms of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)). This review included 18 randomized controlled trials. WBV significantly improved concentric torque of the knee extensors and flexors, with effect sizes of 8.86 (95% confidence interval: 6.00 to 11.72; I² = 0%; p < 0.00001) and 9.56 (95% confidence interval: 7.40 to 11.72; I² = 0%; p < 0.00001), respectively. However, no significant changes were noted in the indicators of muscle power or cardiovascular endurance. Overall, our findings suggest that WBV interventions can enhance lower-limb strength in athletes. However, the quality of the evidence was low. To provide effective evidence-based guidance for WBV, future studies should consider participants’ characteristics as well as intervention frequency, intensity, and duration in their analysis.
