Authors: Alekseeva V , Guryeva A , Nikolaeva E 
Published: September 2020

Aim. The article aims to determine the functional characteristics of the cardiovascular system in adolescents and young males in combat sports depending on their body type. Materials and methods. Adolescents and young males of the yakut population (freestyle wrestlers and boxers) were examined. The indicators of 42 athletes were studied. Anthropometric and somatometric methods were used. The somatotype was determined by Pignet and Rees-Eysenck indices. The cardiovascular system was studied by the index of functional changes. Blood pressure measurements and pulse counts were performed before and after exercise. The following physical activity was proposed: extended arm squats with a frequency of 20 squats in 30 seconds. Statistical processing was carried out using the SPSS 17.0 software package. Parametric and nonparametric methods of statistical analysis were applied. Results. In terms of body mass index, 14.3 % of the surveyed persons had insufficient body weight, 85.7 % – normal body weight. Overweight and obesity in athletes were not detected. Only persons of teenage age had a body weight deficit. It was established that persons with a strong physique according to the Pignet index and a normostenic somatotype according to the Rees-Eysenck index possessed significantly larger reserve and recovery abilities of the cardiovascular system. Conclusion. The obtained morphofunctional characteristics can be taken into account when selecting athletes to achieve higher sports results

Published: September 2020

Aim. The article aims to assess the psychophysiological characteristics of skilled athletes in combat sports (boxing, freestyle wrestling, judo). Materials and methods. 18–23-year-old skilled combat athletes were examined. All athletes were divided into the following groups: the first group - female athletes (n = 15); the second group - male athletes (n = 17); the third and fourth groups - control groups consisted of males and females of the same age and not involved in sports (15 people each). The following methods were used: a pulse measurement, psychological tests, self-assessment of the psychoemotional status, electroencephalography, cardiointervalography with the calculation of statistical indicators of heart rate. Examinations were performed before and after the relaxation exercise, which was a three-minute concentration of attention at a specific point on the body. Results. The results revealed that female athletes had lower indicators of psychoemotional status than males but higher than untrained females. The indicators of psychoemotional stress were lower in female athletes than in male athletes and untrained women. For example, the indicator of personal anxiety in female athletes was 41.0 ± 1.8 versus 47.2 ± 2.5 in untrained women (P < 0.05). In female athletes, heart rate, the amplitude of the mode and voltage index (77.15 ± 2.05) in the structure of heart rate were slightly higher than in males (73.10 ± ± 1.07), which indicated greater functional stress of the heart. Relaxation led to favorable changes in EEG indicators and decreased functional stress of the heart in all subjects. Conclusion. It is recommended to extend the terms of sports training in female combat athletes to ensure a smooth transition to sports specialization and reduce injuries.

Das radikaldemokratische Moment von Hashtag-Aktivismus
Authors: Koster Ann-Kathrin 
Published: September 2020

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag bietet ausgehend von der politischen Theorie Jacques Rancières eine radikaldemokratische Interpretation von Hashtag-Aktivismus an. Mittelpunkt seiner Demokratietheorie bilden politische Praktiken, welche Exklusionsverhältnisse durch eine demonstrative Anklage zum Gegenstand einer konfliktiven Auseinandersetzung innerhalb der Gesellschaft machen. Ebensolche Prozesse lassen sich mittels einer inhaltlichen Analyse des Hashtags #metwo rekonstruieren, welcher im Sommer 2018 für Aufsehen sorgte. Hashtag-Aktivismus wird so als eine digitale Konstellation erkennbar, die in performativer und pluralistischer Weise den Kampf um Gleichberechtigung und Teilhabe sichtbar werden lässt.
Development and validation of the child humor orientation scale short-form
Authors: Bischoff Marie , Schmidt Silke , Muehlan Holger 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Background
Studies on children’s humor mainly focus on short-term effects of sense of humor and laughter. There is also evidence that children possess the predisposition to communicate humorously, labeled “Humor Orientation” (HO). All children possess some level of HO, but highly humor oriented children enact humor successfully and frequently, perceive situations more often as funny, and perform humorously across different interactions than low humor oriented children. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a short-form of the Child Humor Orientation Scale (Booth-Butterfield et al. 2011), a questionnaire assessing HO in children, and to analyze its relations to well-being.

Methods
After forward-backward-translation procedure, the CHO-Scale was validated in a sample of parents of 296 pre-school children (3–6 years). The CHO-Scale was shortened to 10 items on the basis of factor loadings and content-related aspects.

Results
Exploratory factor analysis of the CHO-10 revealed a two-factor solution. Reliability and Validity of the main score and the subscales are acceptable. Children with high HO show higher social competencies, emotion knowledge, quality of life, and lower trait anxiety.

Discussion
The CHO-10 Scale is suitable as a valid, reliable and economic measure of Child Humor Orientation.
Extremely high levels of alkaline phosphatase and pregnancy outcome: case series and review of the literature
Authors: Wilkof-Segev Renana , Hallak Mordechai , Gabbay-Benziv Rinat 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Objectives
To evaluate the association between extremely elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALKP) levels (above 1000 U/L) and adverse perinatal outcome.

Methods
A retrospective case series of all parturients with extremely elevated ALKP levels taken throughout pregnancy at a single university-affiliated medical center (2010–2018). Demographics and medical data were retrieved. Following literature review, previously reported similar cases were added to the cohort. We report perinatal outcome of our cohort as well as literature review.

Results
During study period 11 parturients with high ALKP were identified. Ten more cases were retrieved from PubMed search. Overall, median ALKP levels were 1880 (range 1052–4488 U/L). Reasons for evaluation were mostly nonspecific symptoms (pruritus, headache, abdominal pain) or routine obstetrical evaluation. In 10/12 (83%) cases, elevated ALKP levels were of placental origin; the rest had osteal origin. Median gestational age at delivery was 38 (range 35–41); four (19%) women had preterm delivery. Six patients (29%) had gestational diabetes mellitus and six (29%) had hypertensive disorders. Histopathology of the placenta was available in eight cases: three normal histology (38%) and five with different non-specific pathologies.

Conclusions
We report the largest case series of extremely elevated levels of ALKP in pregnancy thus far. Our data suggest association with adverse perinatal outcome.
Experiences of youth with medical complexity and their families during the transition to adulthood: a meta-ethnography
Authors: Li Lin , Bird Marissa , Carter Nancy , Ploeg Jenny , Gorter Jan Willem , Strachan Patricia H. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractYouth with medical complexity (YMC) are a small subset of youth who have a combination of severe functional limitations and extensive health service use. As these youth become adults, they are required to transition to adult health, education, and social services. The transition to adult services is especially difficult for YMC due to the sheer number of services that they access. Service disruptions can have profound impacts on YMC and their families, potentially leading to an unsuccessful transition to adulthood. This meta-ethnography aims to synthesize qualitative literature exploring how YMC and their families experience the transition to adulthood and transfer to adult services. An in-depth understanding of youth and family experiences can inform interventions and policies to optimize supports and services to address the needs of this population at risk for unsuccessful transition to adulthood. Using Noblit and Hare’s approach to meta-ethnography, a comprehensive search of Medline, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Social Sciences Index, and Sociological Abstracts databases, supplemented by hand searching, was conducted to identify relevant studies. Included studies focused on the transition to adulthood or transfer to adult services for YMC, contained a qualitative research component, and had direct quotes from youth or family participants. Studies were critically appraised, and data were analyzed using meta-ethnographic methods of reciprocal translation and line of argument synthesis. Conceptual data from ten studies were synthesized into six overarching constructs: (1) the nature and process of transition, (2) changing relationships, (3) goals and expectations, (4) actions related to transition, (5) making sense of transition, and (6) contextual factors impacting transition. A conceptual model was developed that explains that youth and families experience dynamic interactions between their goals, actions, and relationships, which are bounded and influenced by the nature, process, and context of transition. Despite the tremendous barriers faced during transition, YMC and their families often demonstrate incredible resilience, perseverance, and resourcefulness in the pursuit of their goals. Implications for how the conceptual model can inform practice, policy, and research are shared. These implications include the need to address emotional needs of youth and families, support families in realizing their visions for the future, promote collaboration among stakeholders, and develop policies to incentivize and support providers in implementing current transition guidelines.
Powerful Qualities Beyond Identity Theory
Authors: Livanios Vassilis 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Until recently, the powerful qualities view about properties has been effectively identified with the so-called identity theory. Yet, the difficulties that the latter faces (especially concerning the interpretation of its core claim that dispositionality and qualitativity are identical) have led some metaphysicians to propose (at least provisionally) new versions of the powerful qualities view. This paper discusses the prospects of three such versions: the compound view, the higher-order properties theory and the dual aspect account. It is argued that the compound view is in fact property dualism in disguise, while the higher-order properties theory does not by itself provide a metaphysically convincing solution to Armstrong’s dilemma concerning the modal status of the relation between dispositionality and categoricality. Finally, it is argued that it is not clear whether the dual aspect account is distinct from identity theory and pure powerism.
Nonlinear absolute sea-level patterns in the long-term-trend tide gauges of the West Coast of North America
Authors: Boretti Alberto 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe research issue of which are the present relative and absolute rates of rise and accelerations for North America is here addressed. The data of the 20 long-term-trend (LTT) tide stations of the West Coast of North America with more than 80 years of recorded data are shown. The absolute rates of rise are computed by considering the absolute vertical velocity of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas near the tide gauges, and the relative rate of sea-level rise from the tide gauge signals. The 20 LTT stations along the West Coast of North America show an average relative rate of rise of -0.38 mm/yr., an average acceleration of +0.0012 mm/yr2, and an average absolute rate of rise of +0.73 mm/yr. This is the first paper publishing a comprehensive survey of the absolute sea-level rates of rise along the West Coast of North America using the reliable information of relative sea-level rates of rise from LTT tide gauges plus the absolute subsidence rates from different GNSS antennas close to the tide gauge installations.
Green composites based on Atriplex halimus fibers and PLA matrix
Authors: Boudjema Hayet Latifa , Bendaikha Hayet , Maschke Ulrich 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
This work focuses on the potential use of cellulose fibers extracted from Mediterranean saltbush (Atriplex halimus) as a filler in the polymeric matrix. The fully biodegradable composites were prepared from polylactic acid (PLA) as matrix and microcellulose fibers ranging from 0 to 15 wt.%. The influence of the fiber content on the structure, mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties was evaluated. Mechanical results indicated that fibers acted effectively as reinforcement, increasing the tensile strength and the Young’s modulus of PLA by 25 and 45%, respectively. This is due to the good stress transfer between fibers and matrix through the strong interactions that have been evidenced by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that PLA composites have a slightly lower degradation temperature than the pure PLA, but they still have favorable thermal stability. Water absorption measurements and biodegradability tests showed that the addition of fibers accelerates degradation kinetics and confirm that the prepared composites are an environmentally safe material suited for different applications.
Prediction of muscle loss after stroke by analysis of corticospinal tract
Authors: Lee Ah Young , Choi Kyu Tae , Chang Min Cheol 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Introduction
Skeletal muscle loss induces a poor rehabilitation outcome after stroke. Little is known about the usefulness of diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) findings of the corticospinal tract (CST) in terms of predicting muscle loss in affected limbs after stroke.

Methods
This research was designed as a preliminary study. Forty-four patients, with stroke onset more than one year earlier, were recruited. DTT was performed within 7–30 days after stroke onset. The patients were classified into two groups based on the DTT findings: a DTT+ group, in which the CST was preserved, and a DTT− group, in which the CST was interrupted by the stroke lesion. Additionally, the patients’ functions were evaluated based on the modified Brunnstrom classification and functional ambulation category.

Results
In the DTT− group, the values of the lean tissue mass of the affected upper and lower limbs were smaller than those of the unaffected side. On the other hand, in the DTT+ group, the values of the lean tissue mass between the affected and unaffected limbs were not significantly different.

Conclusion
The DTT evaluation of CST at the early stage of stroke may be useful for predicting muscle loss of the affected limb at the chronic stage in stroke patients.
Fatigue Crack Growth and Threshold Behavior at Ultrasonic Frequencies
Authors: Stanzl S. E. , Tschegg E. K. 
Published: September 2020

Fatigue crack growth (Δa/ΔN = f(Kmax) data for several metallic materials were measured, using the 20 kHz ultrasonic resonance stressing method, and compared to 100-Hz frequency measurements. In a noncorrosive environment, a similar Δa/ΔN = f(Kmax) dependence was found for both frequencies, Furthermore, several other features were found to be common to both, for example, (1) a ductile crack propagation mechanism. (2) a Kmax and crack-tip opening displacement-governed crack growth behavior. (3) discontinuous crack propagation, and (4) the existence of a threshold stress intensity.
Therefore, the method is thought to be a useful tool in gaining crack growth data in a manner that saves time, material, and energy. It has great practical value in the low stress-intensity regime.
Measurements in 3.5 percent sodium chloride solution show an environmental influence only at crack growth rates below about 10−9 m/cycle.

Hairy Cell Leukemia – A Mortality Analysis
Authors: Okba Ahmed Fawzy 
Published: September 2020

Objectives.—To assess mortality and survival analysis for patients with hairy cell leukemia, taking into consideration the effect of new therapies.
Background.—Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a chronic B-cell disorder and an uncommon malignancy. Initially, therapeutic options were limited, and outcomes were poor. However, with the introduction of alpha interferon in 1984, followed by two purine nucleoside analogues pentostatin (1986) and cladribine (1990) and more recently, rituximab, a monoclonal antibody, HCL outcomes have improved, translating HCL from a disease with limited treatment options to a highly treatable disease with a near-normal survival.
Methods.—A SEER-17 database survival analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with HCL in the US. Using the International Classification of Diseases code for HCL (9940), the SEER database was interrogated for patients diagnosed from 1973-2013. Analysis was based on comparing the survival of patients in the last 4 decades to the expected survival population generated by the SEER data. Analysis using mortality and survival methodology was used to calculate the excess death rate (EDR), mortality ratios, and survival ratios.
Results.—In patients with HCL diagnosed from 1973-1983 compared to those diagnosed from 1984-1993, the survival improved by 6% in the first year and reached 26% by year 5, 30% by year 10, 33% by the year 15, and 40% by year 20. Calculations of relative mortality showed a decrease in mortality from decade 1973-1983 to decade 1984-1993 of 66% in the first year, 96% by year 5, 66% by year 10, 46% by year 15, and 40% by year 20.
Conclusions.—The survival of patients diagnosed with HCL has improved over the last 3 decades, with a significant benefit being seen since 1984. Thanks to the introduction of newer drugs, the outcome of patients with HCL has been transformed into a highly treatable form of leukemia, and patients now have a near-normal life expectancy.
