Numerical investigation on the power of parametric and nonparametric tests for trend detection in annual maximum series
Authors: Totaro Vincenzo , Gioia Andrea , Iacobellis Vito 
Published: January 2020

Abstract. The need to fit time series characterized by the presence of a trend or change points has generated increased interest in the investigation of nonstationary probability distributions in recent years. Considering that the available hydrological time series can be recognized as the observable part of a stochastic process with a definite probability distribution, two main topics can be tackled in this context: the first is related to the definition of an objective criterion for choosing whether the stationary hypothesis can be adopted, whereas the second regards the effects of nonstationarity on the estimation of distribution parameters and quantiles for an assigned return period and flood risk evaluation. Although the time series trend or change points are usually detected using nonparametric tests available in the literature (e.g., Mann–Kendall or CUSUM test), the correct selection of the stationary or nonstationary probability distribution is still required for design purposes. In this light, the focus is shifted toward model selection criteria; this implies the use of parametric methods, including all of the issues related to parameter estimation. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of parametric and nonparametric methods for trend detection, analyzing their power and focusing on the use of traditional model selection tools (e.g., the Akaike information criterion and the likelihood ratio test) within this context. The power and efficiency of parameter estimation, including the trend coefficient, were investigated via Monte Carlo simulations using the generalized extreme value distribution as the parent with selected parameter sets.
A Deal over Dirt
Authors: Lange Sophie 
Published: January 2020

From a German-German Bargain to the Creation of an Environmental Problem in the 1980s In the 1970s, West Berlin started to transport its waste to East-German dumpsites. By the 1980s, Hamburg and other West German municipalities had followed suit, depositing their waste in Schönberg landfill, a waste disposal site situated in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) barely five kilometers from the German-German border. What began as an inner-German agreement with benefits for both sides soon developed into an environmental problem for the West German government. This article focuses on the strategies with which the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) tried to assuage critical voters and cope with a dumping ground at its border. It is argued that because of the demands for political action by the people living close to the dump the ‘greening’ of politics, which means the inclusion of environmental concerns on the political agenda, produced ambiguous results.

Objectives: The identification of the health needs of university students and staff may be the first step in improving public health approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate the most needed health care services by the university students and employees.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 864 representative individuals on Marmara University Göztepe Campus, Istanbul, Turkey. All participants were given a questionnaire including questions about the sociodemographic characteristics and health status, healthy lifestyle behaviours and health needs. Results: The mean age of the participants was 24±7.9 years. The number of participants who had periodic health maintenance/ check-up was 11.4%. Smoking and alcohol use prevalence was similar for students and employees (30.9% and 30.2%). Depression screening was found to be positive in 67.4% of the participants (58.7% of the employees, 69.7% of the students).The most commonly requested information was on healthy nutrition (42.4%), followed by screening for diseases (32.3%), emergency situations/first aid (31.2%), exercise counselling (28.6%) and prevention of chronic diseases (27.8%).
Conclusion: Our findings show that the most needed health care services are psychological counselling, periodic health controls, health promotion counselling and first aid training.

Published: January 2020

Objective: We intended to report our institutional experience with ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with structural heart disease.
Patients and Methods: A total of 36 consecutive patients (31 male, age: 62.8 ± 13.2 years) who had undergone VT ablation in our institution between 01.01.2017 and 01.05.2019 were included in the analysis.
Results: A total of 27 patients with the diagnosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy and 9 patients with the diagnosis of nonischemic cardiomyopathy had undergone VT ablation. VT ablation was successful in 32 (88.9%) patients. There were no major procedural complications; however, one patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy died 48 hours after the procedure because of post-ablation cardiogenic shock. Another patient with unsuccessful VT ablation died during hospitalization due to electrical storm. Endocardial ablation was performed in 23 (63.9%) patients and epicardial or combined endocardial and epicardial ablation was performed in 13 (36.1%) patients. Substrate ablation was the dominant strategy in 29 (80.6%) patients whereas activation mapping and isthmus ablation was performed in 7 (19.4%) patients.
Conclusion: Our experience confirms the effectiveness and safety of VT ablation in patients with structural heart disease who are resistant to medical therapy and/or who receive recurrent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks.

Published: January 2020

Nordic walking (NW) is a practical form of healthy exercise. Up to now, few studies have been conducted on the non-clinical population and few has analysed muscular response after NW training. This study aimed to assess mechanical and neuromuscular changes of deltoideusand triceps brachiifollowing short-term NW training. Twenty-four healthy and physically active females were randomly assigned to an NW group (NWG) (n =12) or control group (n =12). Training was carried out over a 6-week period (18 sessions) on a treadmill (4.5 km/h; 2% gradient). Mechanical and neuromuscular response wasmeasured before and after training. Tensiomyography was used to assess maximum radial displacement, time contraction, time delay, sustain time, and half-relaxation time ofdeltoideusand triceps brachii. Heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were used to control the training intensity. Mixed-design factorial analysis of variance (mixed ANOVA) was used to detect changes in the mechanical and neuromuscular characteristics after a NW training. During NW training, HR (115.83 bpm), 36.7% of HR reserve and RPE (10.25) corresponding to light intensity were reported. After the training period, only a moderate increase (6.25%, p =0.02; η2=0.06) in delay time for the triceps brachiiwere reported. A short-term and low to moderate intensity training conducted with a specific NW technique was not sufficient to modify the tricepsbrachii anddeltoideus mechanical- neuromuscular response in healthy and young females.
Muscle Dysmorphia: Predictive and protective factors in adolescents
Authors: Orrit Graciela 
Published: January 2020

The Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) is a subcategory of body dysmorphic disorder in which subjects develop a pathological concern for their musculature. The population at risk that suffers from, or can develop MD, prevails in terms of age of appearance in subjects between 16 to 35 years; and it is more frequent in men. This study aimed to determine which variables of the personality, gender identity and passion (harmonious or obsessive) allow to predict MD in adolescents through the Adonis Complex (AC) Scale. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 506 subjects between 16 and 21 years (M=18.20; SD=1.72). The higher correlation was between AC and Emotional Control in men, and impulse control in women. Then a binary logistic regression analysis was performed and model yielded R2=.176 (X2=47.95 (16) <.001) and classified correctly in 88.5% of cases. Results of the analysis showed that harmonious passion (β=-.028, p=.046) and emotional control (β=-.616, p=.002) are protective variables while obsessive passion (β =.065, p=.013) and scrupulosity (β =.344, p=.046) were risk factors. The results show the importance of performing interventions aimed at the prevention of DM, starting from the relevance of working emotional control and harmonious passion in this stage of life and training.

El objetivo del estudio fue comparar las dimensiones que componen los constructos de motivación en el deporte y necesidades psicológicas básicas de atletas de baloncesto que están en la fase de iniciación deportiva. En la primera fase del estudio, que fue cuantitativa, participaron 53 atletas que compitieron en los Juegos Escolares de Paraná (Brasil) – Fase Municipal. En la segunda fase del estudio, cualitativa, participaron de la investigación 12 atletas que integraron la primera fase del estudio, elegidos de forma aleatoria. Para la recolección de datos fueron utilizados: Escala de Motivación para el Deporte, Cuestionario de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas en el Ejercicio, Cuestionario sociodemográfico y una entrevista semi estructurada. Los resultados demostraron que los atletas jóvenes tenían mayores escores en las dimensiones referentes a las motivaciones intrínsecas, así como, evidenciaron menor satisfacción frente a la dimensión autonomía del constructo de las necesidades psicológicas básicas. Sin embargo, no hubo diferencias en la motivación y las necesidades psicológicas básicas al compararlas con el tiempo de práctica de la modalidad deportiva. Además, se observó que la admiración por la modalidad deportiva, bien como, las relaciones construidas en los entrenamientos y con la familia a través del deporte son factores importantes para la inserción y mantenimiento del joven atleta en el deporte.

Introdução: A pratica de Yóga é reconhecida por seus diversos benefícios, contudo considerando pratica como estratégia de gerenciamento do estresse gerados pelas cargas de treino em atletas não esta claro na literatura. Objetivo: avaliar os efeitos de uma sessão de pratica de Hatha Yóga (HY) nos sintomas de stress e no estado de humor de corredores. Metodologia: Após uma semana de altas cargas de treinamento (volume de 45,0 ± 15,0 km percorridos na semana) vinte corredores amadores com idade ≥18 anos participaram voluntariamente de uma sessão de HY sendo composta de 10 minutos de exercícios de controle da respiração, 15 minutos de exercícios de aquecimento, 50 minutos de posturas de yoga e 10 minutos de relaxamento. Antes (An) e apos (Ap) a prática todos os corredores responderam os o inventário de sintomas de stress e questionário de humor (POMS). Resultado: 67% dos indivíduos foram classificados em fase de resistência e 33% em fase de pré-exaustão, após a prática de HY todos os indivíduos não apresentaram sintomas de stress. Em relação aos parâmetros do estado de humor diferenças significativas (p<0,01) foram encontradas na tensão (An: 12±2, Ap: 5±2), depressão (An: 10±2, Ap: 2±2), raiva (An: 13±2, Ap: 3±2), fadiga (An: 15±2, Ap: 7±2), confusão mental (An: 12±2, Ap: 5±2) e vigor (An: 12±3, Ap: 20±3) após a pratica de HY. Conclusão: nossos dados indicam que a pratica de HY pode contribuir para minimizar o estresse e as alterações negativas nos estados de humor decorrentes de uma semana intensificada de treinamento.
De l’aménagement des promenades de la baie d’Alger à l’évolution des pratiques ludiques
Authors: Nouri Lila , Farhi Abdallah , Monnet Jérôme 
Published: January 2020

Tandis que la promenade urbaine tend à définir un type d’aménagement spécifique constituant « une nouvelle tendance urbaine », la notion d’attractivité fait florès. Considérée comme un levier du développement des territoires, elle tend à devenir incontournable dans les stratégies territoriales et dans les discours des élus. Au-delà de la volonté de satisfaire les usagers, on note celle de créer des centralités attractives tout en offrant des espaces de qualité. L’objectif de cet article est de montrer, à travers l’aménagement de promenades urbaines en front de mer algérois, que la fréquentation et l’usage d’un lieu résultent de multiples facteurs. La volonté des acteurs participant à la fabrique formelle de la ville est déterminante, dans la mesure où l’aménagement influence les pratiques et que la réglementation les conditionne – ce qui n’empêche pas la spontanéité usagère. L’aménagement de la promenade des Sablettes sur un ancien terrain vague et délaissé de la baie d’Alger a engendré un attrait particulier, stimulé par une offre d’espaces entretenus et sécurisés donnant lieu à de nouvelles formes d’urbanité.
Narrations de l’espace urbain : promenades littéraires et artistiques franco-québécoises
Authors: Bisenius-Penin Carole 
Published: January 2020

Souvent perçue comme une possible pratique de développement territorial ou comme un objet culturel, la promenade relève d’enjeux divers (touristiques, patrimoniaux, sociaux) et pose la question de la participation des populations. Cet article s’attache tout d’abord à saisir la promenade à partir d’une approche épistémologique, en cherchant à comprendre les enjeux soulevés par ce dispositif pouvant être abordé en croisant les perspectives (conceptuelle, sémantique et théorique). Ensuite, l’objectif est de montrer comment la promenade apparaît comme un médium artistique et littéraire, à la fois « acte et support », un dispositif de narration de l’espace qui met en scène un imaginaire des lieux, une cartographie des interstices de la ville. Enfin, au gré de quelques déambulations sur les territoires français et québécois, la promenade devient aussi un « espace hodologique » (Besse, 2004), une forme d’interaction sociale et collective, à travers sa dimension sensorielle et corporelle, visant à créer du lien, à partager les lieux, à fabriquer des souvenirs.
Des balades accompagnées comme chemin de transition? Jalons pour une réflexion à propos de l’action associative
Authors: Laplace-Treyture Danièle , Douence Hélène 
Published: January 2020

L’hypothèse au centre de cet article est celle d’une résonnance entre une conception de la balade et l’idée de transition à visée sociétale. Quatre exemples de balades conçues et accompagnées par des associations et des collectifs d’associations pour un public avant tout local nous servent ici de guide pour observer le cheminement de ces acteurs associatifs confrontés à divers changements. Partant du potentiel de la marche et d’une analyse du contexte national et local, nous envisagerons les spécificités des dispositifs ici considérés et chercherons à apporter des éléments de réponse aux questions suivantes, entre autres : qu’ont ces dispositifs de balade, non institutionnels, à nous apprendre sur des acteurs mis à l’épreuve d’une même problématique qui est celle de fabriquer une ville plus durable et plus juste? Quelles voies/voix proposent-ils de faire émerger au travers de leur manière de conduire le changement, ou mieux, de se conduire dans le changement?
Profesionales y posverdad: La responsabilidad colectiva como arma contra la falacia digitalizada
Authors: Caldevilla Domínguez David , García García Enrique 
Published: January 2020

Main theme: Post-truth, also known as emotive lie: a new term that describes the intentional distortion of reality, thus intending to create and guide a tendency of public opinion to influence the ideas of society. This definition and the reality it represents has a growing presence and importance in modern life: the election of Donald Trump, the rise of separatisms, Brexit or the irruption of the far right are first-line issues, tainted by the specter of post-truth.

Logical development of the matter: It is common to check the social networks every morning to find, in statistical fashion, a lie in motion. A hoax known by its author and unquestioned by those who share it: illustrated news equals reality. Altho ugh resorting to lies in politics or for ideological reasons is far from being a recent development, the way in which this phenomenon has grown and become uncontrolled as an element of influence in public opinion is what has led to its metamorphosis in the term «Post-truth».

Author’s point of view and contributions: Interconnectivity should shield us from manipulation by professional propagandists, but it has made us more vulnerable to puerile and simple lies…information that would be easy to deny, but which are protected from it by collective laziness and accelerated lifestyle.

Research limitations/implications: Although the research focuses on a single case, it offers an approximation to the value that these audiovisual pieces have when being used as a tool in a communication strategy of a brand, which allows the brand to manage its intangible values easily.

Implications and conclusions: After decades of consolidated and successful democracy, society faces, for the first time, a threat that can only be effectively fought by ordinary citizens. The propaganda and educational effort that would be needed to solve it from the institution’s level reaches the unthinkable extreme of forced reeducation for the standardization of criteria. It is necessary, instead, to create in the greatest number of people, the awareness of the need for self-training in critical reading and data verification, given the growing irrelevance of the journalist as a mediator. Or if that fails, work is needed from the media to reverse their loss of credibility.

Flipped classroom improves student learning in dosage calculation, - a quasi-experimental control group design
The flipped classroom method has received increased attention in health sciences education, however, few studies have investigated performance data showing its effectiveness. The aim of this study was to compare learning outcome in a flipped classroom with a standard lecture. The hypothesis was that applying a flipped classroom model in a dosage calculation class would improve learning outcome when compared to standard learning. One group was assigned to a flipped classroom (n=43), and the other group to a traditional lecture-based classroom (n=45). Data were collected through answer sheets and test results. Course content, assessments, and instructional time for both models were equivalent. The social educator students in the flipped group performed better in the test, compared to the traditional group, where the flipped group had 22% reduction in failing the exam.The flipped classroom approach is promising as an acceptable approach for teaching in dosage calculation curricular in higher education.

Student experiences with supervision and learning through participation in a quality improvement evidence-baced practice project in a hospital, -a descriptive and explorative study
A significant part of health care students’ education is provided through clinical placement supervised by practitioners with required education and experience. This study has been conducted to increase knowledge of students’ experiences with supervision and learning related to participation in a quality improvement project in a hospital using evidence-based practice tools. A descriptive and exploratory design with focus group interviews. Data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. Three main themes emerged: changed student role, understanding the importance of keeping professional knowledge updated and need for the facilitation of the clinical placement period. The study showed that supervision helped students become equals of their supervisors and part of the community of practice. The project contributed to students`' coping skills. Integrating evidence-based practice into practice taught students a method of professional knowledge updating and quality improvement.
