The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) Performance in Elite Team Handball Players Playing with Shoulder Pain, Previous Pain, or No Pain
Authors: Torabi Tina Piil , Bencke Jesper , van den Tillaar Roland
Published: February 2024

Background

Physical therapists use tests that could determine strength and weaknesses of the shoulder for overhead throwing athletes to enhance performance, prevent injury, and safely progress rehabilitation. The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) has been proposed to assess muscular capacity and dynamic shoulder stability in overhead athletes, which could provide information to determine a risk of injury.

Purpose

To investigate if the CKCUEST is an appropriate test to implement within team elite handball players to evaluate dynamic shoulder stability across sexes and in the screening of shoulder pain.

Study design

Cross-sectional study

Methods

Elite team handball players were recruited and performed the CKCUEST from which three different scores (raw, touch, and power) were calculated and compared among handball players playing with shoulder pain, previous pain, and no pain.

Results

A total of 106 handball players were included: 49 females (1.74±0.03 m, 70.4±6.7 kg, and 22±4.9 years) and 57 males (1.90±0.08 m, 91.6±11.4 kg, and 22±5.4 years), A significant difference was found between the female and male handball players when comparing all three CKCUEST scores (p<0.01). No significant differences were found in the CKCUEST scores among the three different groups (F≤1.23, p≥0.30, η2≤0.03). Among the female participants, no significant differences were found between performing the CKCUEST and the modified test. A significant correlation was found between height and the power score for men (r=0.661, p≤0.001) and women (r=0.434, p=0.01).

Conclusion

A comparison of scores across sexes appears unsuitable, due to the possible positive influence of height on the final score. But within the female group, performances of the CKCUEST and the modified CKCUEST were comparable. Additionally, the CKCUEST was not able to differentiate among elite handball players who are playing with shoulder pain, previous shoulder pain, and no pain.

Dramaturgismo, historia, pasado y ficción: una propuesta para un cambio social desde el teatro.
Authors: Camero  Gutiérrez Jonatan Steveson , Diago Miguel , Sánchez  Gutiérrez Rafael Alfonso , Combariza Juan Manuel
Published: February 2024

Desde la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII se dio inicio a una revolución de la figura encargada de concebir los textos dramáticos. Aunque la figura del dramaturgo ha existido desde la antigüedad griega, fue en medio de la Ilustración alemana que tuvo lugar el asentamiento de la perspectiva crítica y analítica que diera lugar a sacudir las bases del drama a partir de otras ramas del conocimiento. De ahí parte la noción del dramaturgista, como un profesional que relaciona preceptos filosóficos, científicos, políticos e ideológicos como una fuerza motora que permite expandir la función del texto dramático y su posterior confrontación con el espectador en la comunión del hecho escénico. El presente documento propone relacionar el oficio del dramaturgista con la disyuntiva existente entre la Historia oficial de los hechos y las creaciones del campo de la ficción que han suscitado los mismos. Apoyado en diferentes puntos de vista se busca legitimar la idea de que la ficción dramatúrgica también puede ser un elemento fundamental para la revisión de hechos históricos que cuestionen el pasado de un grupo social, su consciencia del presente y la manera en cómo van a afrontar su devenir.
Narrativas cantadas del rap en Buenaventura. Un grito de resistencia y oposición
Authors: Martínez Gil Rosanna , Angulo Valencia Yeison David
Published: February 2024

La esperanza corre rápido y deja huellas hoyadas en la tierra de mi pueblo que ha vivido desolada, cansada, amedrentada por cadenas del pasado, y es que pasan los días y la ambición no ha pasado. El fragmento de esta narrativa cantada de Rap en Buenaventura nos recuerda que las culturas afro han vivido un largo proceso de resistencia en América desde el descubrimiento de América, una lucha permanente  por mantener vivas sus tradiciones, sus costumbres, sus cosmovisiones ancladas a una ancestralidad africana que se visibiliza en las diferentes manifestaciones culturales con las que se expresa, se comparte, se protesta y se transmiten una gran variedad de conocimientos, sentires y valores propios. Estas manifestaciones musicales han tenido procesos de trasformación sin dejar de lado sus identidades, aquellas que se nutren de las prácticas culturales arraigadas al territorio, que es precisamente la fuente de inspiración y la razón de evidenciar las situaciones que en este se viven, al tiempo, invita a la participación constructiva para mitigar y resistir a los diferentes flagelos causados por la desigualdad social, la falta de responsabilidad gubernamental y la escases de oportunidades, entre otros que no han podido doblegar a un pueblo que se ha hecho desde las bases de la resistencia.

Authors: Manalu Joel , Tarigan Nelson
Published: February 2024

The author's fascination inspired the creation of this work with the Tungkot Tunggal Panaluan Batak statue, a significant element of Batak culture, notable for its shape, history, and function. This statue portrays seven individuals supporting each other, diminishing in size, set against diverse backgrounds. The research seeks to visualize the form, history, and applicability of the Tungkot Tunggal Panaluan statue from the distant past to the present day, manifesting as paintings accompanied by descriptions of their meanings and the techniques employed in their creation. The author produced 12 paintings in this study using acrylic and oil paints on canvas. These artworks feature human figures and primitive Batak figurative statues, characterized by stylized forms, set against a simple village backdrop that serves as a historical context for Tungkot Tunggal Panaluan. Historically, this statue was employed by leaders in traditional Batak community events. The author combined three techniques—plaque, chiaroscuro, and bravura—to infuse the paintings with dynamic impressions, contrasts, and vitality. Notably, the chiaroscuro technique was employed to balance dark and light, utilizing paint colors derived from raw umber and yellow ocher combined with primary colors to evoke a vintage atmosphere. The outcomes of this research comprise 12 paintings, each titled uniquely, reflecting the author's interpretation of the Tungkot Tunggal Panaluan statue in the realm of fine art. These works offer a profound insight into the statue's form, history, and function, contributing significantly to the author's impact on the evolution of painting.

Published: February 2024

Female students have few opportunities and training to develop their entrepreneurial careers in developing economies. The existing literature also provides little discussion of linking women’s entrepreneurial intention with their entrepreneurial careers. The researchers addressed the gaps in the literature by empirically confirming the impact of science and technology parks, market segregation, and commercialization support on female students’ entrepreneurship in Pakistan. The study also tested the moderating role of the economic climate on the relationship between science and technology parks, market segregation, commercialization support, and female students’ entrepreneurship. We used a survey-based data collection approach, and a Likert scale questionnaire was administered. The study used data collected from 247 female students registered in business incubators. The research findings are new in the literature and confirm the science & technology park, market segregation and commercialization support are significant antecedents that influence the entrepreneurial intention of female students in Pakistan. The impact of female students’ entrepreneurial intention is positive on their entrepreneurship careers. Meanwhile, the economic climate is established as a negative moderator between female students’ entrepreneurial intention and their entrepreneurial careers in Pakistan. We recommend that policymakers develop the science & technology park, market segregation and commercialization support for female students to grow their entrepreneurial careers.

THE PAUSTOVSKY TRAIL: ON KARELIAN MOTIFS IN THE PROSE OF KONSTANTIN PAUSTOVSKY AND YURI KAZAKOV
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Shilova Natalia
Published: February 2024

The paper focuses on the biographical and literary relations between Konstantin Paustovsky and Yuri Kazakov in the second half of the 1950s. Paustovsky repeatedly visited Karelia in the 1930s. Based on the materials of these trips, he wrote several works, including the essay “White Night” (1955). Yuri Kazakov knew about Paustovsky’s Karelian impressions from his texts and, possibly, from their personal conversations. In his letters to Paustovsky in the late 1950s, he writes about his intention of going to Petrozavodsk, which Kazakov carried out in 1959, when he visited Petrozavodsk and Kizhi, i. e., in fact, repeating Paustovsky’s trail. Based on his impressions, Yuri Kazakov writes the story “Adam and Eve” (1962), the artistic space of which refers to the “White Night” as a pretext. The analysis focuses on the boundaries and nature of Paustovsky’s Karelian theme influence on Kazakov.
Trap Prevention in Machine Learning in Prediction of Petrophysical Parameters: A Case Study in The Field X
Authors: Pratama Zainuri Adam Putra , Sinurat Pahala Dominicus , Irawan Dedy , Sasongko Hari
Published: February 2024

Petrophysical parameters such as porosity and water saturation are vital in the petroleum industry for reservoir characterization. These aspects are typically assessed through laboratorium measurements of core samples or intricate petrophysical calculations. Machine Learning (ML) offers a cost-effective and efficient approach as an alternative to conventional methods of predicting those parameters. However, developing ML models can be prone to the invisible traps such as overfitting, underfitting, feature selection, and feature importance. This study is intended to share how to identify the traps and its mitigation by establishing a synergistic workflow between ML and petrophysical theory. A model was developed based on data from several wells in X field, where they are randomized and split into test and train data. Well-log normalization preceded data splitting, and input features were normalized with outlier removal. A feature selection function was then employed to choose a specific amount of log data. Finally, the model selection function identified the highest-scoring model. Without a proper workflow, overfitting, irrelevant feature selection, and imprecise ranking issues emerged. However, with the proper workflow, these invisible traps were mitigated, even with a relatively small dataset. The final model could accurately predict porosity and water saturation
Cardiovascular and mental symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome as a possible consequence of the bradykinin storm: A clinical case
Authors: Sydorova Nataliia , Bychkova Svitlana , Chernenko Inna , Kuts Taras , Druz Oleh
Published: February 2024

Introduction

Although as of today, the hypothesis of bradykinin storm in COVID-19 cannot be directly confirmed, many theoretical assumptions and empirical data support its validity.

Aim

The purpose of this article is, using the example of a clinical case, to draw attention to the need for further study of the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome, considering the assessment of various theories, including bradykinin storm hypothesis.

Case study

We analysed the data from a young male patient with post-COVID-19 syndrome who referred to a consultant and expressed complaints of palpitation, blood pressure increase, muscle weakness, feeling of fear, hypochondria, sleep disturbances, and reduced working performance.

Results and discussion

We found a high degree of autonomic dysregulation (predominantly sympathetic hyperactivation), anxiety, and sleep disorder. There was no hypertension, though ambulatory blood pressure monitoring allowed to determine the status of non-dipper. Patient's blood tests after COVID-19 revealed a decrease in the plasma level of aldosterone, a significant increase in both homocysteine blood level and free cortisol in urine, and mild transient isolated increase in free triiodothyronine. All abnormal blood test parameters turned to normal in 3 months after the onset of COVID-19. We assume that the clinical symptoms and changes in a number of laboratory parameters of the presented case may be associated with the effects of bradykinin storm.

Conclusions

This clinical case suggests continuing the discussion about the potential role of bradykinin storm in the clinical course of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Este estudio aborda la cuestión del canon literario desde una perspectiva teórica que profundiza en el debate histórico generado en torno a su conformación y aplicación en el ámbito educativo. En este sentido, se incide en la necesidad de implementar un canon escolar híbrido en el que se incluyan obras prestigiadas por la institución literaria y obras que partan del horizonte de expectativas del alumnado y se vinculen con sus gustos, necesidades e intereses. De este modo, la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil (LIJ) y las prácticas letradas desarrolladas en comunidades virtuales deben tenerse en cuenta para configurar itinerarios de progreso en la formación lectora del alumnado de las diferentes etapas educativas.

Cuando contar es enseñar otros mundos: de la oralidad al mundo audiovisual en las adaptaciones de Bernardo Govea
Authors: Gutiérrez Hibler Jonathan
Published: February 2024

Este artículo examina las adaptaciones de cuentos de literatura infantil realizadas por Bernardo Govea, un escritor, guionista y director de cine mexicano. Con base en las contribuciones de varios teóricos sobre tradición oral, ficcionalización, intertextualidad y experiencia del lector, el análisis se centra en las estrategias y recursos utilizados por Govea en sus adaptaciones. Se muestra cómo Govea fusiona narración oral, teatro y cine para recrear versiones de los cuentos originales, respetando sus núcleos, pero modificando sus formas y contextos. A través de recursos como el humor, la música, la interacción con el público, el maquillaje, la pantomima y el montaje, Govea amplía la experiencia del lector al acercarle lo extraño y lo lejano.
