Abstract
Bartolomei, S, Nigro, F, Malagoli Lanzoni, I, Masina, F, Di Michele, R, and Hoffman, JR. A comparison between total body and split routine resistance training programs in trained men. J Strength Cond Res 35(6): 1520–1526, 2021—The purpose of the present investigation was to compare the effects of total body (TB) versus split routine (SR) resistance training workouts on maximal strength and muscle hypertrophy in trained men. Twenty-one resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to either a TB (TB: age = 24.1 ± 4.4 years; body mass = 78.7 ± 11.3 kg; body height = 177.0 ± 3.9 cm) or the SR group (SR: age = 24.9 ± 4.2 years; body mass = 79.2 ± 9.5 kg; body height = 175.2 ± 6.0 cm). Both groups performed a 10-week resistance training program. Isokinetic bench press at 75 and 25 cm·s−1 (ISOK75 and ISOK25, respectively), isometric bench press (ISOBP), isometric squat (ISOSQ), and one repetition maximum BP and SQ assessments were performed before and after training. Muscle thickness of the pectoralis major (PECMT), superior part of trapezius (TRAPMT), and vastus lateralis (VLMT) muscles was also evaluated at the same timepoints using ultrasonography. Improvements were observed in both groups for all strength assessments and muscle thicknesses. Only changes in ISOK25 were significantly (p = 0.015) greater in TB than in SR, while significantly greater (p = 0.037) changes in VLMT were detected in SR compared with TB. Results indicated that a TB training paradigm may be more appropriate for maximal strength improvement, while an SR training protocol may be more optimal in stimulating muscle growth in experienced, resistance-trained men.
The 15th anniversary of the SIEC test under the EU Merger Regulation – where do we stand? (Part 1)
Authors: Kuhn Tilman 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
On May 1, 2019, the significant impediment to effective competition (“SIEC”) test pursuant to Article 2(2) and (3) of the EU Merger Regulation (Regulation No. 139/2004; “EUMR”), celebrated its 15th anniversary. The Commission has taken more than 5,000 decisions in merger cases under this new standard in the last decade and a half. Therefore, it seems opportune to pause and take stock. Has the introduction of the SIEC test achieved the desired results? Has it been applied according to the legislator’s plans? Does its application need to change going forward?
After a short recap of the test’s history and genesis (I.) and a reminder of the burden and standard of proof (II.), this article reviews the Commission’s decisional practice (and the limited practice of the EU Courts) systematically, and intends to summarize the various theories of harm covered by the SIEC test’s application in practice (III.). Second, it analyzes the decisional practice and draws conclusions as to whether the test’s application in practice is predictable, persuasive, and in line with the legislator’s intent (IV.). Third and last, after some practical and procedural observations (V.), it concludes with a few proposals for improvement (VI.).
Given the scope of the ground covered, this article is split into two separate parts over two separate volumes of this journal, with Part 1 in this volume covering sections I. and II., as well as part III. with regard to horizontal mergers and a brief summary in this respect. Part 2 of the article will then continue section III. with non-horizontal mergers, and finish with sections IV. through VI.
Zur Interpretation empirischer Evidenz vor Gericht
Authors: Bönisch Peter , Inderst Roman 
Published: March 2020

Zusammenfassung
Bei der Verwendung der empirischen Evidenz in ökonomischen Gutachten ergeben sich mitunter gravierende Fehlinterpretationen. So wird mangelnde statistische Signifikanz zuweilen als Evidenz für die Abwesenheit jeglichen Effekts interpretiert oder die statistische Widerlegung eines Nulleffekts als Beleg für eine bestimmte Verstoßeffektshöhe angeführt. Um solchen Fehlinterpretationen vorzubeugen, stellt dieser Aufsatz zunächst die in der gutachterlichen Praxis verwendeten statistischen Konzepte (der Signifikanzniveaus, p-Werte, t-Tests und Konfidenzintervalle) als Variationen des stets gleichen Testverfahrens dar. Sieht man die Ergebnisse aus dieser Perspektive, werden auch die engen Grenzen einer Interpretation offensichtlich und die häufigen Fehlinterpretationen verständlich. Der Aufsatz geht allerdings darüber hinaus und stellt mit dem Konzept der „Severity“ (Schwere der Evidenz) ein einfaches zusätzliches Instrumentarium vor, mit dem die vorhandene Evidenz anschaulich dargestellt werden kann, um damit insbesondere verschiedene mögliche Verstoßeffekte auf ihre Kompatibilität mit der vorhandenen Evidenz hin zu prüfen.

Cyclical causalities between the U.S. wholesale beef and feed prices: A Markov-switching approach
Authors: Ozdemir Dicle 
Published: March 2020

Abstract: This paper examines whether some major livestock feed prices as corn, sorghum, hay and barley play a leading role in the regime switching dynamics between two states of the beef price cycles and have nonlinear effects on wholesale beef market in the U.S. using time-varying transition probability Markov-switching autoregressive model (TVTP). The study reveals that real wholesale beef price movement in the U.S. red meat market exhibits a nonlinear two regimes pattern. This evidence indicates that livestock feed prices provides some predicted power to the model of beef price regime switching and supports livestock feed prices contributing to whether the beef price levels remains in high-mean regime.
“¿Por qué no decir, pues, una evidente trivialidad?” Irrupciones vitales e irrupciones teóricas en Diario anónimo, de José Ángel Valente
Authors: Prósperi Germán Guillermo 
Published: March 2020

Resumen: La publicación de Diario anónimo (1959-2000), de José Ángel Valente, supuso una oportunidad única para conocer algunos aspectos de la vida del escritor no presentes en el resto de su obra. El volumen es la constatación de que el diario es para Valente un espacio en el que ensayar una escritura fragmentada, no por la forma que adopta el texto, sino por las interrupciones, rupturas o desapariciones que se manifiestan como provocación en la vida del poeta. Este artículo analiza los momentos en los que el Diario figura la dimensión de la intimidad, caracteriza el tono en que el diarista se refiere a los hechos que la determinan y postula que esta escritura debe ser leída en serie con algunos textos poéticos y teóricos que ofrecen la imagen de un diarista en devenir, nunca acabada. Palabras clave: diario; intimidad; irrupciones; José Ángel Valente; Roland Barthes.

The volume is the realization that the diary is for Valente a space in which to try a fragmented writing, not through the form adopted by the text, but through the interruptions, ruptures or disappearances that the life of the poet shows as a provocation. This article analyzes the moments in which the Diario includes the dimension of intimacy, characterizes the tone in which the diarist refers to the facts that determine it and postulates that this writing must be read in series with some poetic and theoretical texts that offer the image of a diarist in becoming, never finished.

José Ángel Valente como escritor gallego. Notas sobre la influencia de Vicente Risco y Rosalía de Castro
Authors: García Candeira Margarita 
Published: March 2020

Resumen: Este artículo ahonda en la vinculación de José Ángel Valente con la literatura y la cultura gallegas. Se examinan ciertas intertextualidades significativas presentes en el poemario Cántigas de alén y en otros textos, que revelan la huella insoslayable de Vicente Risco a la hora de establecer una lógica del asentamiento que viene a contradecir la poética explícita del autor (fundada, como se sabe, sobre una potente conciencia exílica) y que acaba proyectándose sobre la lectura que Valente hace de Rosalía de Castro. Materiales como la biografía, las cartas, el Diario anónimo o el catálogo de la biblioteca del poeta permiten contextualizar estas deudas en un entramado de sociabilidad afectiva e intelectual que ayuda a comprender la incardinación específica del poeta en el espacio cultural gallego, caracterizado por el conflicto y la diáspora. Palabras clave: José Ángel Valente; literatura y cultura gallegas; Cántigas de alén; Vicente Risco; Rosalía de Castro. Abstract: This article explores José Ángel Valente’s link to Galician literature and culture. Meaningful intertextual presences displayed in the collection Cántigas de alén and in other texts are evaluated. They reveal the inescapable mark of Vicente Risco in establishing a logics of settlement that comes to contradict the explicit poetics of the author (founded, as known, on a strong conscience of exile) and which ends up projected upon Valente’s reading of Rosalía de Castro. Materials as biographies, letters, the Diario anónimo and the catalogue of Valente’s personal library allow to contextualize these debts within a framework of intellectual and affective sociability that helps to understand the poet’s specific incardination in the Galician cultural space, as characterized by conflict and diaspora. Key words: José Ángel Valente; Galician literature and culture; Cántigas de alén; Vicente Risco; Rosalía de Castro.
Seismotectonics of the 2017–2018 Songyuan Earthquake Sequence, Northeastern China: Passive Bookshelf Faulting and Block Rotation in the Songliao Basin

Published: March 2020

AbstractThe high frequency of earthquake clusters generated by pure strike-slip faulting over the past 3 yr (beginning in 2017 in the Songliao basin, northeastern China) has motivated us to consider why lateral strike slip and not extension determines the seismic activity within the Songliao basin. Precise location and characterization of relocated aftershocks, forward modeling of the coseismic displacement field, and Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring data are combined to detect the possible seismogenic structures of the Songyuan earthquake sequence. The 2017 ML 5.3 aftershock cluster coincided with the northeast-striking Fuyu–Zhaodong fault (FZF), and the 2018 aftershock swarm followed the linear trend (N42°W) of the Songhuajiang fault (SHF). In addition, the forward modeling results indicate that during the earthquakes, right-lateral and left-lateral strike-slip displacements occurred simultaneously along the FZF and SHF, respectively. These two strike-slip faults joined to accommodate the intervening crustal blocks’ asymmetrical east–west convergence and a single northward extrusion. We also utilize 5 yr of GPS data to construct the regional strain-rate map for the basin. The measurements show that right-lateral transform motion along the immense northeast-striking right-lateral strike-slip faults, for example, the Tanlu fault zone and the FZF, impose a northeast-striking simple shear across the Songliao basin. This simple shear not only caused left-lateral movement on the minor northwest-striking left-lateral strike-slip faults such as the SHF but also rotated them ∼14° clockwise into their present orientations. The results of the proposed bookshelf faulting model in which the predominant northeast-striking parallel faults are initiated are consistent with the observed lineament orientations, focal mechanisms, and earthquake distributions. The sharp shift in the subduction direction of the Pacific plate seems to have had a considerable influence on the intracontinental deformation in China, at least throughout northeastern China.
El nuevo curso de la paz, la guerra y las resistencias
Authors: Sánchez Ángel Ricardo 
Published: March 2020

Se aproxima el fin de una década y el comienzo de otra. Todo aparece y se expresa de manera confusa y turbulenta, exigiendo claridad. Hay, por ello, que descifrar el significado de los relámpagos de las grandes movilizaciones en curso en distintos países y en los distintos continentes. Lo buscado es el cielo despejado de la historia.
Lo primero que constatamos es que el siglo XX, como tiempo largo de crisis, guerras, revoluciones y contrarrevoluciones, no solo no ha terminado, sino que continúa con estos registros, a los que se suma la impetuosa revolución tecnológica y digital: el espacio de lo inimaginable de la inteligencia artificial. Destaquemos que son tiempos de crisis en la acumulación económica del capitalismo y en la reproducción de las relaciones sociales y culturales. El ciclo discurre en una onda larga recesiva en la que las reanimaciones esporádicas no logran revertir esta tendencia, con mayor intensidad y proyección en unos países que en otros, pero con el lazo de la cadena de la economía del mundo. La relación entre tecnología, luchas sociales y comunicación adquirió nuevas dimensiones (Salazar, 2016).

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Little is known about nurses’ and patients’ perceptions of learning needs following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in Oman. This study aimed to identify patients' and nurses' perceptions of post-CABG learning needs. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two cardiac units in Oman between February and April 2018. Participants were from step-down units and perceptions of post-CABG learning needs were collected using a modified version of the Cardiac Patients Learning Need Inventory (MCPLNI) questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: A total of 90 patients and 90 nurses were included in this study (response rate: 100%). Nurses perceived information about chest and leg wound care, medications and complications as patients’ most important learning needs (4.89 ± 0.31, 4.84 ± 0.33 and 4.78 ± 0.45, respectively). Similarly, patients perceived a need for post-CABG learning related to chest and leg wound care, complications and medication, while learning related to physical activity received a moderate priority (4.92 ± 0.20, 4.80 ± 0.45, 4.85 ± 0.26 and 3.50 ± 1.34, respectively). Conclusion: Before discharging patients, they should be provided with specific information related to post-CABG care. It is essential to assess patients’ learning needs and incorporate those learning needs into discharge plans.Keywords: Learning; Perception; Coronary Artery Bypass; Education; Patients; Nurses; Oman.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT: New groups of high-grade neuroepithelial tumours (HGNET) have emerged from the reclassification of central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumours that have recognised CNS HGNET with BCOR alteration (CNS HGNET-BCOR). We report a two-year, nine-month-old Omani boy who presented to the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2015 with subacute head tilting and neck pain. A well-defined cerebellar lesion was found and he was treated with standard chemoradiotherapy. After a relapse at the age of five years, molecular testing revealed a BCOR alteration. He was treated with further surgery and high-dose chemotherapy; unfortunately, he relapsed and died three years after he was diagnosed.Keywords: Neuroepithelial Tumor; Glioblastoma; Human BCOR Protein; Embryonal Tumors; Case Report; Oman.

Background. Data on the effect of the number of received oocytes on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs are contradictory. The frequency of obtaining a small number of cells ranges from 5.6 to 35.1 %. Identifying women who have chances of getting pregnant, despite this situation, is important for drawing up an adequate treatment plan.Objective of this study is to assess the pregnancy rate depending on the number of retrieved oocytes in ART cycles with ovarian stimulation, which ended with the transfer of embryos, as well as determining the characteristics of patients with a reduced response, in whom the pregnancy occurred.Design and methods. The study included 526 women who were treated for infertility in the department of ART of the Almazov National Medical Research Centre in 2017. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the number of oocytes retrieved: less than 5, from 5 to 9 and 10 or more. Group 1 (number of oocytes less than 5) included 126 women, group 2 (from 5 to 9) — 223 women and group 3 (number of oocytes 10 and more) — 177 patients. The average age of the patients was 33.37 years (from 22 to 48 years).Results. The frequency of obtaining a positive blood test and clinical pregnancy rate were comparable in groups 2 and 3 (53.81 % and 49.72 %, respectively) and significantly lower in group 1 (41.27 %, p > 0.05). Clinical pregnancy in group 1 occurred in 34.13 % of cases, which was significantly different from the indicators of group 2 + 3, where the gestational egg visualized in 47.5 % of cases (p < 0.05). In a group of women with a small number of oocytes, the most important predictors of pregnancy were obtaining 2 or more oocytes, and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level above 1 ng / L.Conclusion. The number of oocytes is an important predictor of pregnancy rate. The chances of becoming pregnant in women with a small number of oocytes depend on the level of AMH and the number of oocytes obtained.
Los infinitos de algunas series divergentes
Authors: Miramontes de León Diego , Miramontes de León Gerardo 
Published: March 2020

En este trabajo interesa mostrar que dos series divergentes, aunque ambas tienen un número infinito de términos, al tener términos diferentes, su valor al infinito también difiere. En el documento se muestra que la serie armónica, dada por la suma del inverso de los números naturales, puede descomponerse en dos series. Una de ellas dada por la suma del inverso de los naturales de la forma 1/np con p > 1 y la otra, que será llamada subarmónica, formada por el resto de los términos que completan la serie armónica original. Se muestra que cada una de estas series es, una convergente y la otra divergente, obteniendo así la serie original divergente. Se incluye la demostración de la divergencia de las nuevas series, y como extensión de esta descomposición de la serie armónica, se hace una comparación de dos series subarmónicas las cuales, a pesar de ser ambas divergentes, difieren en su valor al infinito.

Abstract
This work aims to show that two divergent series, although both have an infinite number of terms, if they have different terms, their value to infinity also differs. In this document, it is shown that the harmonic series, given by the sum of the inverse of natural numbers, can be decomposed into two series; one of them is given by the sum of the inverse of the naturals in the form 1/np where p > 1 and the other, which will be called subharmonic, formed by the rest of the terms that complete the originalharmonic series. It is shown that each of these series is one convergent and the other divergent, thus obtaining the original divergent series. It is included the demonstration of the divergence of the new series, and as an extension of this decomposition of the harmonic series, a comparison is made of two subharmonic series which, despite being both divergent, differ in their value to infinity.
Fórmulas de “Trigonometría Áurea” para las funciones Seno y Coseno
Authors: Braddock Stradtmann George 
Published: March 2020

En este artículo, se define una nueva constante matemática (que llamamos b), cuyas propiedades junto con las del número áureo , permiten obtener expresiones algebraicas muy sencillas para las funciones trigonométricas seno y coseno evaluadas en diferentes ángulos. Se obtuvo una sencilla expresión para el área de un pentágono regular inscrito en un círculo de radio 1. Los cálculos de las fórmulas que nos dan el valor de las funciones trigonométricas, expresadas en función de las constantes f y b, se resumen en dos cuadros al final del artículo. Los cuadros se crearon siguiendo un procedimiento análogo al utilizado por el astrónomo Ptolomeo, para hallar los valores numéricos de su famosa tabla de cuerdas, que fue documentado en el primer libro de su gran obra "El Almagesto".
Abstract
In this paper, a new mathematical constant is defined (we called it b), whose properties along with the golden number’s properties, allow us to obtain very simple algebraic expressions for the trigonometric functions sine and cosine evaluated in different angles. We obtained a simple expression for the area of a regular pentagon inscribed within a circle with radio 1. The calculations of the formulas giving us the value of the trigonometric functions, expressed as a function of the constants f and b, are summarized in two tables at the end of this paper. The tables were created following an analogous procedure as the one used by the astronomer Ptolemy, to find the numerical values of his famous table of chords, documented in the first book of his great work "The Almagest".
