Authors: Marcori Alexandre Jehan , Monteiro Pedro Henrique Martins , Okazaki Victor Hugo Alves 
Published: October 2021

PurposeHow demands of precision influence the performance during alternated discrete touching is not well established in the literature. Hence, we compared both hands performance during alternated touching, manipulating the precision demand.MethodsOverall, 23 right-handed adults participated in this study. The first task consisted of alternated touching with a pencil on both sides of a blank paper, performing as fast as possible, considering the first touch as reference for the next ones. Subsequently, touch dispersion and width were measured, and circular targets were drawn with those proportions. The second task consisted of performing as many hits as possible inside those targets. Apart from the delimitated target, increasing precision demand, the task parameters were equal.ResultsMovement time increased and the number of touches decreased from the first to the second task. However, the preferred hand displayed greater reductions in performance.ConclusionsThe perceptual constraint of adding a visual target affects motor control parameters in alternated touching, causing decrements in performance in both hands, but more evidently in the preferred right hand.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to analyse the goals in soccer Italian League Serie A (2018–2019) in relation to (a) the number of total attempts; (b) the time reached; (c) the area from which the final action occurred. Also, the effect of achieving the first goal in the match outcome was studied.MethodsA total of 380 matches were studied, with 1019 goals scored. All matches were analysed with the SportScout software. Chi-square test was used to find differences between the display frequencies of each variable.ResultsMore goals were scored in the second half of the match (χ<sup>2</sup> = 25.438, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and in the last 15 minutes. Most goal attempts were made through the penalty box and outside of it (χ<sup>2</sup> = 2365.002, <i>p</i> < 0.05), though the highest success rates were shown in the attempts from the goal box. Overall, 30% of the total number of goals were scored from set plays (χ<sup>2</sup> = 171.493, <i>p</i> < 0.05), most of them after a corner shot (χ<sup>2</sup> = 18.488, <i>p</i> < 0.05). Furthermore, it appeared that the first goal had a strong impact on the final outcome since in 67.34% of the cases, the team that scored first won the match.ConclusionsMore goals were scored in the second half, especially in the last 15 minutes. Coaches should prepare their players to be fit to cope with the whole match. They will also need to improve their defensive and offensive tactics in set plays.

Published: October 2021

Introduction and Aim:HaemophagocyticLymphohistiocytic Syndrome (HLH) is a fatal disease with characteristic proliferation of histiocytes in the organs including bone marrow, liver, spleen, kidney, csf, meninges, lymph nodes and subcutaneous tissue which phagocytes the blood cells. In all unexplained cases of cytopenias, organomegaly and pyrexia of unknown origin the HLH should be thought off. Though there are established criteria to diagnose, early diagnosis can reduce the mortality rate due to HLH. Documenting the haemophagocytes in the biopsy can sometimes be very helpful in arriving at the diagnosis.

Materials and Methods:We identified patients who were diagnosed with or suspected to have HLH by bone marrow aspiration or biopsy admitted to Sri Ramachandra Medical College Hospital and Research Institution from January 2010 to June 2017.We retrospectively reviewed patients’ medical records that have haemophagocytes in bone marrow aspirations and collected complete clinical history and laboratory findings. Those history included fever, cytopenias, and organomegaly. Their triglyceride levels, ferritin, ESR or any other abnormal elevated lab values were also noted down. If they had any established diagnosis then that was also noted.

Results:This is a descriptive study and the details of the data like clinical history, clinical features, laboratory investigations and abnormal values are represented using tabular column, Pie chart and bar diagrams.

Conclusion:From pathological point of view, documenting each case presenting with Haemophagocytes and looking into the factors like age, significant laboratory values along with clinical features can be a valuable tool to come to a provisional diagnosis and might help the clinician to proceed with the treatment for alife-threatening disease without much delay.

En este artículo se hace un examen del proceso electoral de marzo del 2000. Su tesis fundamental es que los resultados de las recientes elecciones consolidaron, en el plano legislativo, el equilibrio de poder existente entre el FMLN y ARENA. Para los autores, el principal desafío del FMLN consiste en aprovechar esas tendencias favorables para asegurar su predominancia legislativa y municipal en el futuro inmediato. Mientras que el desafio de ARENA es hacer lo que esté a su alcance para contener ese ascenso político del FMLN, cuya inminencia se hace patente a la luz de los resultados electorales obtenidos principalmente a nivel municipal.

Published: October 2021

Bien que l’anxiété soit très répandue chez les personnes souffrant d’un trouble bipolaire et qu’elle ait des impacts délétères sur l’évolution et le traitement de la maladie, des recensions des écrits antérieures ont souligné que de nombreux aspects de cette condition demeurent sous-étudiés (Provencher et al., 2012 ; Spoorthy et al., 2019). La présente étude de portée (scoping review) vise à fournir un portrait complet de la littérature traitant de l’anxiété dans le trouble bipolaire (ATB) entre 2011 et 2020, à évaluer si l’intérêt pour le sujet a augmenté au cours de la dernière décennie et à cartographier les tendances de publication. Trois bases de données ont été consultées, tous les articles ont été triés sur la base du titre et du résumé, et un échantillon aléatoire correspondant à 25 % des articles restants a été constitué en vue d’évaluer leur éligibilité (n = 406 articles). De ces derniers, 247 articles ont été inclus. Les 75 % restants (n = 1217 articles) sont en processus de catégorisation et les résultats finaux seront présentés dans une publication ultérieure. Le nombre annuel d’articles sur l’ATB publiés entre 2011 et 2020 a été calculé et les articles traitant du sujet en tant que sujet principal ont été classés en 4 catégories et 11 sous-catégories afin d’identifier les lacunes dans les connaissances sur le sujet. Les résultats préliminaires (basés sur l’échantillon de 25 %) indiquent que le nombre annuel de publications est resté relativement stable au cours de la période et que seulement 33,6 % des articles font de l’ATB leur sujet principal. Parmi ceux-ci, plus de 50 % sont de nature descriptive, couvrant principalement les impacts observables de la comorbidité et ses caractéristiques cliniques. Une proportion plus faible de la littérature aborde les processus sous-jacents à l’ATB (14,5 %) et son traitement (22,9 %). Ces résultats soulèvent des interrogations quant à la pertinence de continuer à investir des ressources dans la recherche portant sur les aspects descriptifs du sujet alors que l’on en sait encore peu sur les mécanismes sous-jacents à l’ATB et sur son traitement. Les résultats soulignent la nécessité de poursuivre les recherches sur ces autres aspects de l’ATB afin de mieux comprendre et traiter cette comorbidité unique.

Published: October 2021

Increased competition among businesses demands adequate attention towards steps which would ensure business survival in long run. Businesses must build on their strengths which in turn depend upon their employee’s strengths. One of such strengths is employee’s positive Psychological Capital which comprises of self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience. Employee’s Psychological Capital has been linked to key driver of sustainable competitive advantage in today’s business scenario that is innovation. This review focuses upon studies determining the relationship between Psychological Capital and innovation. The review suggests that Psychological capital is a significant predictor of innovation among employees working in various sectors. Positive leadership styles such as Authentic, transformational leadership etc. and favourable organizational climate are found to foster Psychological Capital among employees. Although at individual level there are studies linking Psychological Capital with innovative behaviour, but less number of studies have examined the role of team or collective Psychological Capital in predicting overall innovation within the organizations.

This study examined and compared the new innovative trend analysis (ITA) of monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall with traditional trend analysis methods in relation to soybean productivity in western Maharashtra. Spearman’s rank correlation, Mann-Kendall and its 6 different modifications were used to analyze the trends of rainfall, whereas Spearman’s rho, simple linear regression and Sen’s slope with two different modifications were employed to quantify the magnitude of trends at 1%, 5% and 10% level of significance. Autocorrelation coefficient was calculated at lag-1 and tested at 5% level of significance. Rainfall variability of the region is very high (CV>30) in all the months and seasons with positively skewed rainfall distribution. Our results revealed that out of 34-time series data analyzed, ITA was able to ide ntify all the significant trends (11 -time series) that can be detected by traditional methods. Meanwhile, ITA also identified trends in 17-time series which cannot be detected by any of the traditional methods. The study revealed significant increase in monsoon and annual rainfall values, which is helpful in sustaining soybean productivity in the western parts of the Maharashtra.
De toepassing van artikel 13b Opiumwet en de positie van de burgemeester
Authors: Tops Pieter , de Vries Jan-Piet 
Published: October 2021

The application of Art. 13b Opium Act and the position of the mayor
In the reduction of undermining crime in the Netherlands, the role of local government has become more important over the past decade. One of the means used for this is Article 13b of the Opium Act (the Damocles Act). That has evolved from a way of closing down local dealer properties to a means of disrupting the criminal drug world. In this article we analyse the developments that the application of the article has gone through. We make an inventory of the actual use of the article in a region known as one of the hotbeds of subversive crime in the Netherlands, the region of West and Central Brabant. Finally, we will discuss the consequences that application of the article has for the position of the mayor. Does this lead to a mayorship in which this officer becomes more of a ‘sheriff’ and less of a mayor? We show that this is not the case.
