Hematological, Hormonal and Fitness Indices in Youth Swimmers: Gender‐Related Comparisons
Authors: Cai Guang , Qiu Jun , Chen Shuai , Pan Qile , Shen Xunzhang , Kang Jie 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This study objective was to evaluate gender differences in hematological, hormonal and fitness variables among youth swimmers and to explore relationships between erythrocyte indices and aerobic and anaerobic capacity. 137 girls and 171 boys participated in the study and were divided into three groups based on their training experience. Blood samples were obtained to determine red blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, and plasma erythropoietin and testosterone levels. VO2max was assessed using a submaximal cycle protocol. 76 girls and 102 boys also undertook a Wingate test to determine their peak anaerobic power. Boys had higher (p < 0.05) means than girls for all hematological variables except for erythropoietin and these variables demonstrated an increase with training in boys. The average VO2max in l∙min-1 and peak anaerobic power in watts were also higher in boys (2.91 ± 0.08 and 547 ± 28, respectively) than girls (2.25 ± 0.07 and 450 ± 26, respectively). Modest but significant (p < 0.05) correlations were found between VO2max and red blood cell counts (r = 0.252), hemoglobin concentration (r = 0.345), or hematocrit (r = 0.345) and between peak anaerobic power and red blood cell counts (r = 0.304), hemoglobin concentration (r = 0.319) or hematocrit (r = 0.351). This study revealed relatively lower yet age- and gender-appropriate hematological, hormonal and fitness indices in youth swimmers. The gender-related differences in erythrocyte indices seem unrelated to erythropoietin and may be explained by the higher testosterone levels seen in boys. Given their correlation to both aerobic and anaerobic capacity, erythrocyte indices may be used as part of talent identification for sports.
Influence of Contextual Variables on Performance of the Libero Player in Top-Level Women’s Volleyball
Authors: García-de-Alcaraz Antonio , Usero Laura 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Sports performance changes dynamically according to multiple variables during a match. Contextual variables play an important role in complex situations and influence player’s performance depending on the player’s role. The aim of this study was to analyze performance of the libero player in terms of contextual variables in top-level women’s volleyball. The sample comprised 1,597 actions performed by libero players in 49 sets (13 matches) played in the Spanish Queen’s Cups from 2015 to 2017. The variables analyzed were: the game phase, the match period, the set period, match status, the type of the match, and action performance. The results revealed higher participation in the reception and digging, and top performance in reception and setting. The participation of the libero player decreased at the end of the match and the set as well as in advantage score situations, while performance got worse at the end of the set (especially in digs, p < .05) and improved in score advantage situations (especially in receptions, p < .05). Performance remained stable regardless of the type of the match (p > .05). These results may be useful to coaches in order to plan and design specific tasks coherent with libero competition demands and performance values.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effects of batting practice and visual training focused on the pitch type and speed on batting ability and visual function. A total of 46 participants took part in 12 training sessions for 4 weeks. The participants were divided into six groups according to the training type as follows: Group 1, batting practice with a fastball at 100 km/h; Group 2, tracking (watching) a fastball at 100 km/h; Group 3, batting practice with a fastball at 115 km/h; Group 4, tracking a fastball at 115 km/h; Group 5, batting practice with a curve ball at 100 km/h; and Group 6, tracking a curve ball at 100 km/h. Dynamic visual acuity, depth perception, hand-eye coordination, and batting ability were measured before and after training. Group 1 showed significant improvement in batting ability in the tests with 100 km/h fastballs and curve balls, while Groups 3 and 5 showed significant improvement in batting ability with 100 km/h fastballs and curve balls, respectively. Group 6 also showed significant improvement in batting ability with 100 km/h fastballs. Moreover, Groups 2 and 4 showed significant improvement in Dynamic visual acuity and hand-eye coordination, respectively. The results of the present study suggest that batting practice and visual training improve batting ability for the same pitch types and speeds as those encountered in practice. Therefore, visual training may be an effective method for improving batting ability and visual function in coaching settings.
Liberal Citizenship and the Hermeneutics of Public Dialogue: A Rawlsian Perspective
Authors: Rivera Joseph 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Focusing on the topic of public dialogue between religiously theistic, quasi-religious, atheistic, and non-religious citizens in a liberal democracy, this paper develops a practical strategy of dialogue in the wake of Rawls’ Political Liberalism (1993). To set the stage for a rereading of Rawls, the chief points of liberal citizenship are outlined in critical dialogue with recent literature that urges citizens to abandon liberalism. While metaphysics, religious norms, and moral visions of the good are not bracketed by liberal regimes, it is true that liberal states nonetheless attempt to remain neutral in matters of religion and worship. This may yield many worldviews incommensurable with each other. Liberalism, then, as a political order, involves a pluralism of worldviews, some religious and some not. A hermeneutics of public dialogue can enable citizens to be reconciled with, rather than escape, the pluralism born of liberalism. I suggest the point of departure for such a hermeneutic lies in the vocabulary of Rawlsian “overlapping consensus.” Reconsidered in this light, overlapping consensus can open up the prospect of dialogue among citizenry in the public square in a manner that facilitates agreement and cooperation. This is due to the fact that overlapping consensus contrasts with the idea that when one converges on a policy, one must always do so for the same reason or theoretical justification. The paper concludes with the structure of a four-way dialogue that may result from the application of this hermeneutic.
Intrafamilial Infection of Helicobacter Pylori: Abnormal Gastric Epithelial Cells, Pedestal-Rich H. Pylori Adherence, and a Gene Mutation in a Child with Protein-Losing Gastroenteropathy

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori, one of the most prevalent human pathogens, colonizes the gastric mucosa and is associated with gastric diseases, such as gastritis and peptic ulcers, and is also a bacterial risk factor for gastric cancer. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) protein, a major virulence factor of H. pylori, is phosphorylated in cells at its Glu-Pro-IIe-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) motif and is considered to trigger gastric cancer. CagA is classified into two forms, Western CagA with EPIYA-ABC and East Asian CagA with EPIYA-ABD, with the latter associated with a high risk of developing gastric cancer. CagA causes morphological transformation of cells, yielding the “hummingbird” phenotype in AGS cells and possibly membranous pedestals in the gastric epithelium, albeit rarely. H. pylori adherence to the gastric mucosa is not yet fully understood. Here, we describe an intrafamilial infection case of H. pylori, focusing on the gastric epithelium, H. pylori adherence, and a gene mutation in a child with protein-losing gastroenteropathy (characterized by excessive loss of plasma proteins into the gastrointestinal tract). H. pylori, which also infected family members (mother and father), was genetically a single clone with the virulence genes of an East Asian type. The patient’ gastric mucosa exhibited some unique features. Endoscopy revealed the presence of protein plugs on the mucosal surface, which were immunoelectrophoretically similar to serum proteins. Electron microscopy revealed abnormal gastric epithelial cells, totally covered with the secretions or possessing small swollen structures and irregular microvilli. The patient’s H. pylori infection was characterized by frequently occurring thick pedestals, formed along adherent H. pylori. The serum protein level returned to normal and the protein plugs disappeared after the successful eradication of H. pylori, albeit with lag periods for healing. He had a mutation in the OCRL1 gene, associated with Dent disease (asymptomatic proteinuria). Thus, in the patient’s gastric mucosa, we found the abnormal gastric epithelial cells, which may be caused by an OCRL1 mutation or H. pylori, and pedestal-rich H. pylori infection, possibly caused by a higher level of action of CagA in the abnormal epithelial cells. The data suggests a novel H. pylori virulence factor associated with “excessive plasma protein release”.

Published: December 2019

The release of physical music will never be extinct, as is technology disrupting audio technology. This article provides an explanation of physical music releases in the digital era, where vinyl records, audio and CD tapes are still consumed by connoisseurs and musicians alike. Although digital music players and online music applications such as Joox, Spotify, Apple Music or Sky Music is very important in the spread of music in the digital era. The attitude of independent musicians or who are familiar with the term indie musicians still maintains the release of physical music as a tool for the dissemination of their work. This article presents descriptive data from existing journals which are then combined with interviews to obtain depth about what shapes the attitude of indie musicians in using physical music releases and how indie musicians and indie music distributors collaborate in communicating works - indie musicians work through strategies that are done together. As well as what indie music absorbs local culture and how they influence their work and what their attitudes are. Do they not pay attention to the presence of digital distribution or even combine these two things. With the existence of this article, the description of the things that underlie the independent musicians released the music they made themselves with the release of physical albums. Rilisan musik fisik tidak akan pernah punah, sebagaimana pun teknologi mendisrupsi teknologi audio. Artikel ini memberikan penjelasan tentang rilisan musik fisik pada era digital, dimana piringan hitam (vinyl), kaset audio dan CD masih tetap dikonsumsi oleh para penikmat serta pelaku musik. Walaupun pemutar musik digital dan aplikasi musik secara online seperti Joox, Spotify, Apple Music ataupun Langit Musik sangat berperan penting dalam penyebaran musik di era digital. Sikap dari musisi independen atau yang akrab dengan sebutan musisi indie tetap mempertahankan rilisan musik fisik sebagai alat untuk penyebaran karya mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana rilisan musik fisik akan tetap bertahan, dan mengapa sebuah rilisan fisik menjadi hal yang dianggap penting bagi musisi Indie. Artikel ini menyajikan data-data secara deskriptif dari jurnal-jurnal yang ada yang kemudian di padupadankan dengan wawancara untuk memperoleh kedalaman tentang apa yang membentuk sikap dari para musisi indie dalam menggunakan rilisan musik fisik dan bagaimana musisi indie dan distributor musik indie melakukan kolaborasi dalam mengomunikasikan karya-karya musisi indie melalui strategi yang dikerjakan bersama. Serta seperti apa musik indie menyerap budaya lokal dan bagaimana hal tersebut memberikan pengaruhnya pada karya-karya mereka dan seperti apa sikap mereka. Apakah kehadiran distribusi yang dilakukan secara digital tidak mereka hiraukan atau malah menggabungkan kedua hal tersebut. Adanya artikel ini, memberikan gambaran hal-hal yang mendasari para musisi independen merilis musik yang mereka buat sendiri dengan rilisan album fisik.
