Authors: DE LAS HERAS BERNAT , LI ORVILLE , RODRIGUES LYNDEN , NEPVEU JEAN-FRANÇOIS , ROIG MARC 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Video gamers exceeding screen-time limits are at greater risk of experiencing health issues associated with physical inactivity. Demonstrating that exercise has positive effects on video game performance could promote physical activity among video gamers. We investigated the short-term effects of a single session of cardiovascular exercise on the performance of the popular video game League of Legends (LoL) and explored psychosocial mechanisms.

Methods
Twenty young video gamers played a customized LoL task preceded by a short bout of high-intensity interval training or a period of rest. The two conditions were administered on two separate days in a randomized counterbalanced fashion. Video game performance was assessed as the total number of targets eliminated as well as accuracy, defined as the ability to eliminate targets using single attacks. Short-term changes in affect after exercise as well as exercise enjoyment were also assessed.

Results
Exercise improved (P = 0.027) the capacity to eliminate targets (mean ± SEM, 121.17 ± 3.78) compared with rest (111.38 ± 3.43). Exercise also enhanced accuracy (P = 0.019), with fewer targets eliminated with more than one attack after exercise (1.39 ± 0.39) compared with rest (2.44 ± 0.51). Exercise increased positive affect by 17% (P = 0.007), but neither affect nor exercise enjoyment was associated with total number of targets eliminated or accuracy.

Conclusion
A short bout of intense cardiovascular exercise before playing LoL improves video game performance. More studies are needed to establish whether these effects are generalizable to other video games, whether repeated bouts have summative effects, and to identify underlying mechanisms.
Change and Stability in Sibling Physical Fitness: The Portuguese Sibling Study
Authors: PEREIRA SARA , KATZMARZYK PETER T. , HEDEKER DONALD , MAIA JOSÉ 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT

Purpose
This study aims to 1) describe mean changes in muscular and motor fitness components in sibships over 2 yr, 2) analyze individual tracking of fitness within sibships, 3) investigate sibling resemblance in fitness over time, and 4) examine the joint influence of biological, behavioral, and familial characteristics on fitness.

Methods
The sample comprises 166 Portuguese biological sibling pairs (brother–brother, sister–sister, brother–sister) age 9–17 yr assessed at baseline and 2 yr later. Physical fitness components were measured with standardized tests. Percentage body fat and biological maturation were assessed, and physical activity, diet, screen time, and familial characteristics were obtained by questionnaires. Multilevel models were used to analyze the clustered longitudinal data.

Results
Crude results showed that, on average, all sib-types increased their muscular and motor fitness components from baseline to follow-up (except sister–sister pairs in standing long jump and shuttle run). When adjusted for covariates, the mean changes were no longer significant. Individual tracking was moderate to high for the muscular component but low to moderate for the motor component. Consistency in sibling resemblance was higher in sister–sister pairs than in brother–brother and brother–sister pairs. More mature sibs were fitter in both components, whereas siblings with higher body fat percentage were less fit. Screen time, physical activity, and parental occupation were not associated with fitness components.

Conclusions
Biological characteristics were more strongly associated with fitness components than individual behaviors and familial characteristics. Furthermore, the muscular component tracked better than the motor component. Sister–sister pairs had greater resemblance in fitness over time compared with brother–brother or sister–brother pairs.

Background: Few cohort studies of pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa use rigorous gestational age dating and clinical phenotyping. As a result, incidence and risk factors of adverse birth outcomes are inadequately characterized. Methods: The Zambian Preterm Birth Prevention Study (ZAPPS) is a prospective observational cohort established to investigate adverse birth outcomes at a referral hospital in urban Lusaka. This report describes ZAPPS phase I, enrolled August 2015 to September 2017. Women were followed through pregnancy and 42 days postpartum. At delivery, study staff assessed neonatal vital status, birthweight, and sex, and assigned a delivery phenotype. Primary outcomes were: (1) preterm birth (PTB; delivery <37 weeks), (2) small-for-gestational-age (SGA; <10th percentile weight-for-age at birth), and (3) stillbirth (SB; delivery of an infant without signs of life). Results: ZAPPS phase I enrolled 1450 women with median age 27 years (IQR 23–32). Most participants (68%) were multiparous, of whom 41% reported a prior PTB and 14% reported a prior stillbirth. Twins were present in 3% of pregnancies, 3% of women had short cervix (<25mm), 24% of women were HIV seropositive, and 5% were syphilis seropositive. Of 1216 (84%) retained at delivery, 15% were preterm, 18% small-for-gestational-age, and 4% stillborn. PTB risk was higher with prior PTB (aRR 1.88; 95%CI 1.32–2.68), short cervix (aRR 2.62; 95%CI 1.68–4.09), twins (aRR 5.22; 95%CI 3.67–7.43), and antenatal hypertension (aRR 2.04; 95%CI 1.43–2.91). SGA risk was higher with twins (aRR 2.75; 95%CI 1.81–4.18) and antenatal hypertension (aRR 1.62; 95%CI 1.16–2.26). SB risk was higher with short cervix (aRR 6.42; 95%CI 2.56–16.1). Conclusions: This study confirms high rates of PTB, SGA, and SB among pregnant women in Lusaka, Zambia. Accurate gestational age dating and careful ascertainment of delivery data are critical to understanding the scope of adverse birth outcomes in low-resource settings.
Living Data
Authors: Mort Maggie , Roberts Celia , Mackenzie Adrian 
Published: January 2020

Biosensors and biosensing practices collect and share living data, data concerning changes in body states. Health biosensing emerges where devices, health experience, scientific and medical knowledges and online platforms meet around bodies. This book contrasts forms of health biosensing in significant life events ranging from conception to ageing. It explores practicalities, histories and promises of fertility and hormonal biosensing, stress biosensing, DNA genotyping platforms, and old-age biosensing. While the biosensing industries promote promise-horizons of the ‘soon’, ethnographic stories of failure and disappointment abound. ‘Living data’ may be about health for many people, but still happens mostly outside biomedicine or clinical practice. Yet biosensing has the potential to change human bodies and lives in barely imagined ways. This book argues for thinking about biosensing platforms and bodies together to understand that potential and to recognise harms and limitations.
‘No tenemos armas pero tenemos dignidad’: learning from the civic strike in Buenaventura, Colombia
Authors: Kane Patrick , Celeyta Berenice 
Published: January 2020

From 16 May to 6 June 2017, the population of the Colombian Pacific port city of Buenaventura engaged in a Civic Strike to Live with Dignity, which paralysed the city. Within two days, the strike had become an almost generalised uprising, involving people from all demographics and all neighbourhoods across the city. The strike cannot be understood without understanding Buenaventura’s central importance to the Colombian economy, and to a neoliberal development model based upon free trade, extractivism and drip down economics. Buenaventura is Colombia’s poorest and most violent city, yet it is the city through which 70% of Colombian imports and exports pass. Through interviews with a range of protagonists, as well as the first hand experience of the authors, the chapter provides an account of the strike itself, before considering the social movement learning processes which arise from it.
An unfractured line: an academic tale of self-reflective social movement learning in the Nova Scotia anti-fracking movement
Authors: Langdon Jonathan 
Published: January 2020

The chapter shares a series of reflections garnered from being involved in Anti-fracking and subsequent social movement organizing in Nova Scotia/Mi’kma’ki, Canada, from 2010 until now. Providing a framework for these reflections is Foley’s notion of social movement learning in struggle as I went from being part of demonstrations, to helping organize them, to working on submissions to an expert panel, to working with the steering committee of Nova Scotia’s anti-fracking coalition. The story of the Nova Scotia anti-fracking movement describes how we were able to build a successful alliance between communities of the Mi’kmaq First Nation and Nova Scotia settlers that pressured government, even through a change in ruling parties, to legislate a ban on fracking. This unfractured movement speaks to the potential to use the original treaties between the Mi’kmaq and the British as a source of unity in popular struggle.

We demonstrate that the BSW excitation shows up as a dip with maximum depth, and resonance thus obtained is comparable in magnitude with resonance commonly exhibited by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The new sensing concept is verified experimentally for ethanol vapors. The BSW resonances are resolved within two band gaps of the 1DPhC with sensitivities of 3272 nm/RIU and 1403 nm/RIU, and figures of merit of

Published: January 2020

Even though dual-comb-based systems are employed almost routinely nowadays in an ever-increasing number of applications, an efficient combination of this effective technique with an imaging arrangement, which would undoubtedly revolutionize hyperspectral imaging, had not yet been demonstrated. Here we present, to our knowledge, the first hyperspectral dual-comb imaging system in which interferograms are directly detected by a video camera. The system, based on a dual-comb scheme capable of consistently generating interferograms at a rate of 1 Hz and below, combines fast hyperspectral imaging with unprecedented optical resolution and fully multiplex operation. Various proof-of-principle experiments demonstrating hyperspectral imaging of molecular resonances have proved that the direct hyperspectral dual-comb imaging method presented here is capable of characterizing a scene with super-fine resolution in a narrow optical span within 1 s.
Prospective Validation of the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC) Score for Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Extremities
Authors: Hsiao Cheng-Ting , Chang Chia-Peng , Huang Tsung-Yu , Chen Yi-Chuan , Fann Wen-Chih 
Published: January 2020

Objectives
The Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis score was developed as a clinical decision tool for distinguishing necrotizing fasciitis from other soft tissue infections. We prospectively evaluated the performance of the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis score for the diagnosis of patients with necrotizing fasciitis in the extremities.

Methods
We conducted a prospective and observational cohort study of emergency department patients with necrotizing fasciitis or severe cellulitis in the extremities between April 2015 and December 2016. The Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis score was calculated for every enrolled patient. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of cut-off scores of 6 and 8 were evaluated. The accuracy of the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis score was expressed as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Results
A total of 106 patients with necrotizing fasciitis and 825 patients with cellulitis were included. With an Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis cut-off score ≥6, the sensitivity was 43% (95% confidence interval 34% to 53%), specificity was 83% (95% confidence interval 80% to 86%), positive predictive value was 25% (95% confidence interval 20% to 30%), and negative predictive value was 92% (95% confidence interval 91% to 93%); with an Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis cut-off score ≥8, the sensitivity was 27% (95% confidence interval 19% to 37%), specificity was 93% (95% confidence interval 91% to 94%), positive predictive value was 33% (95% confidence interval 25% to 42%), and negative predictive value was 91% (95% confidence interval 90% to 92%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for accuracy of the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis score was 0.696 (95% CI 0.640 to 0.751).

Conclusion
The Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis score may not be an accurate tool for necrotizing fasciitis risk stratification and differentiation between severe cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis in the emergency department setting based on our study.

Published: January 2020

INTRODUCTION:
Hepatic involvement in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is common and can be associated with severe clinical consequences, including portal hypertension, cardiac failure, and encephalopathy. However, there are no reliable clinical predictors of hepatic involvement and its associated complications, limiting appropriate identification of these patients. In this work, we define the utility of serum ammonia and liver biochemical tests (LFTs) in predicting hepatic HHT involvement and its complications.

METHODS:
We performed a retrospective study examining a well-characterized cohort of patients with HHT. Clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, liver imaging, transthoracic echocardiography assessment of right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), and history of other HHT-related outcomes were assessed. Patients were followed for the development of encephalopathy.

RESULTS:
Of 45 patients with definite HHT, 18 (40%) had elevated ammonia levels. An elevated ammonia associated with the presence of hepatic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) on imaging (P < 0.03) and when combined with elevated liver tests increased the sensitivity for hepatic AVMs by 18% (55% for LFTs vs 73% for LFTs plus ammonia). Furthermore, an elevated serum ammonia in patients with HHT associated with an elevated RVSP (>35 mm Hg), providing an 80% sensitivity and 71% specificity for predicting the presence of pulmonary hypertension. In contrast, there was no association with an elevated serum ammonia and encephalopathy over a total of 859 months of follow-up.

DISCUSSION:
Elevated ammonia in a cohort of patients with HHT was associated with the presence of hepatic AVMs and elevated RVSP, but no other complications of HHT, including encephalopathy.
Remedy for Unproductive Researches and Disintegrated Information in Islamic Finance: ‘Riba Information Queries Digital Portal’
Authors: Khan TAHREEM 
Published: January 2020

Abstract: Islamic finance industry evolution and development has been a central concern to scholars, researchers, and managers alike. However for last few years, academia and practitioners have indicated on a serious note that the success and growth of Islamic finance is getting affected because of lack of integration and collaborative approach between different institutions and key actors. Fragmentation plagues the thought process thus saps research productivity, it further create deadlock in research innovation, and makes it hard to be responsive according to the industry and customer needs. In that case, it is essential to find an answer: How a valuable and impactful platform can be designed which can add knowledge to individuals, bankers and society aswell? Realizing the challenge of fragmented information and disconnected issues in Islamic finance sector, this research attempt to propose a solution which can assist Islamic bankers, Islamic finance education providers, shariah scholars, students and researchers in gathering information and conducting more useful and productive research.
PEMAKNAAN HADIS TENTANG KHILAFAH DALAM PERSPEKTIF HERMENEUTIKA
Authors: Yusron Yusron 
Published: January 2020

Bentuk pemerintahan khilafah dan ormas tertentu yang memaksakan ideloginya dalam kontkes NKRI menjadikan urgensi penelitian khilafah menjadi sangat penting. Hal ini sebagaimana dilakukan dalam perspektif hadis dan pemaknaannya dalam konteks sekarang. Dalam hadis-hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh beberapa periwayat, hadis yang menunjukkan bahwa satu-satunya khilafah sebagai bentuk negara adalah dalam tatanan masa pemerintahan khulafah al-rasidun. Bentuk pemerintahan disesuaikan dengan kepentingan masing-masing negara. Selain khilafah, terdapat beragam bentuk pemerintahan yang disebut dalam hadis yaitu mulkan ‘adhdhan (kerajaan yang menggigit) dan mulkan jabriyyah (kerajaan diktator). Hal yang membedakan dengan pemerintahan khilafah pada masa khulafa a-rasyidun adalah mereka dipilih dengan musyawarah dan bukan turun-termurun. Dalam perspektif hermeneutika, pemahaman atas hadis tentang khilafah harus dikembalikan kepada pembacaan secara utuh dalam perspektif historisnya dan dipahami pula dalam konteks kekinian. Sehingga, pola pemerintahan saat ini adalah mengikuti pola berdasarkan kepentingan bersama dalam sebuah negara dengan merujuk pada kenyataan historis.

Although it may be challenging to unambiguously recognize and define it, the notion of experiencing happiness, a constituent of psychological well-being, is undoubtedly one of the key traits featuring every person, whether intellectually fit or disabled. The feeling of happiness plays a significant role when coping with various types of situations including also the circumstances faced by an intellectually disabled person. Due to the diversity and multeity of the dimensions where it occurs, the experience of happiness can be subject of analyses from various stances, including the viewpoint of an intellectually disabled person. It seems that the disabled individual’s ability to deal with difficulties, which also influences efficiency of the rehabilitation process, is actually determined by the feelings of happiness, content and optimism, all of which remain in a relation with one’s personality, life situation,and conditions in which they live. The article draws attention to the subject of experiencing happiness by and psychological well-being of intellectually disabled people. It emphasizes the possibility of both theoretical and practical applications of assumptions of positive psychology as a requisite condition for the optimization of functioning of intellectually disabled people. Beyond any doubt, due care for the intellectually disabled people’s experience of happiness and psychological wellbeing is one of the most crucial requirements of their rehabilitation process as “positive states of mind (…) provide the power to struggle with adversities of life”

Inclusive education is one of the available forms of education for students with disabilities in Poland. Inclusion classrooms have fewer student and an additional teacher assistant. The schools in which this type of education takes place should meet a number of requirements. They start with the infrastructure and available teaching aids, and end with the teacher training and the availability of specialists. However, these are only prerequisites. In addition to them, the attitude of teachers and their training, the atmosphere prevailing in the school and the relations between students are important. All these elements are components on which success depends. The article presents the opinions of parents whose children attend such classes. Their voice is consistent with the results obtained by other researchers and the reports of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK)- there are no teaching aids, it isnot always possible to talk to specialists (staff shortages), the individualization used in working with students is insufficient, and the relations in classes are only seemingly good.
