ABSTRACT

Purpose
Physical activity (PA) affects fatigue and mental health in cancer survivors favorably, but participation in PA interventions tends to be low. More participants may be reached by home-based PA owing to greater accessibility and self-monitoring. This systematic review therefore evaluated the effects of home-based PA of low to moderate intensity on symptoms of fatigue, depression, and anxiety among cancer survivors.

Methods
PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials. We included investigations of home-based PA interventions in adults treated curatively for cancer and evaluating fatigue, depression, or anxiety as outcomes. We performed a random-effect meta-analysis for the effects of PA interventions on fatigue in the short and long terms. Subgroup analyses were performed for the frequency of counseling. Standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals are reported.

Results
Eleven articles comprising 1066 participants were included: 77% had a history of breast cancer; 14%, ovarian cancer; 4%, colorectal cancer; 4%, prostate cancer; and 1%, “other” cancer (not specified). Concerning the outcomes, nine articles reported on fatigue and two reported on depression or anxiety. Meta-analyses showed a significant effect of home-based PA on fatigue immediately after the intervention (SMD = 0.22 [0.06–0.37]), at 3 months’ follow-up (SMD = 0.27 [0.04–0.51]), and at 6–9 months’ follow-up (SMD = 0.31 [0.08–0.55]). PA interventions that used frequent counseling were associated with larger improvements in fatigue than those using no or infrequent counseling.

Conclusions
Home-based PA interventions can reduce fatigue among adult cancer survivors for up to 9 months, and frequent counseling may improve the benefits of these interventions.

ABSTRACT

Purpose
The current study investigated the effects of long-term athletic training on the development of the triceps surae muscle–tendon unit in preadolescence.

Methods
Eleven preadolescent untrained children and a group of 21 artistic gymnastics athletes of similar age (9 ± 1.7 yr) and maturity (Tanner stages I and II) participated in the study. The measurements were conducted every 3 months for 1 yr, and training volume and duration of the athletes were documented. Plantar flexor muscle strength, Achilles tendon stiffness, maximum tendon strain, and gastrocnemius medialis morphometrics were measured by integrating kinematics, ultrasonography, and dynamometry. A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the investigated parameters.

Results
We found greater muscle strength (P < 0.001) in athletes compared with nonathletes but no differences in Achilles tendon stiffness (P = 0.252), indicating a training-induced imbalanced adaptation of muscle strength and tendon stiffness in preadolescent athletes. Although pennation angle (P = 0.490), thickness (P = 0.917), and fascicle length (P = 0.667) did not differ between groups, we found higher fluctuations in pennation angle and muscle strength over 1 yr in athletes. The imbalanced adaptation of muscle strength and tendon stiffness together with greater fluctuations of muscle strength resulted in greater tendon strain fluctuations over 1 yr (P = 0.017) and a higher frequency of athletes with high-level tendon strain (≥9%) compared with nonathletes.

Conclusions
The findings indicate an increased mechanical demand for the tendon in preadolescent athletes that could have implications for the risk of tendon overuse injury. Therefore, we recommend the implementation of individual training approaches to preserve a balanced adaptation within the triceps surae muscle–tendon unit in preadolescent athletes.
O pensamento decolonial no horizonte de combate à violência epistemológica e/ou o epistemicídio no ensino de História
Authors: Paim Elison Antonio , Araújo Helena Maria Marques 
Published: July 2021

Este artigo se baseia em pesquisas frutos de experiências de mais de trinta anos de magistério na Educação Básica e formação de professores nos convidando a posicionamentos frente ao currículo de ensino de História escolar, das licenciaturas e pós-graduações. Identificamos desafios como o eurocentrismo do conhecimento e currículos e a violência epistemológica e/ ou epistemicídio sofrido por grupos subalternizados que atingem especialmente as Ciências Humanas. Desenhamos uma cartografia de matriz curricular decolonial e intercultural crítica apontando através de brechas decoloniais (WALSH, 2016) a possibilidade de busca por maior justiça social e epistemológica nos livros didáticos e aulas de História, assim como em nossa Aby Ayalla. Em expedições acadêmicas trilhamos um caminho teórico-metodológico que possibilite um enfrentamento mais eficaz contra tais opressões e silenciamentos construindo memórias e histórias insurgentes.
Pela boca da criança: pensando gênero e sexualidades a partir da infância de terreiro
Authors: Ataide Costa Junior Adelson Cezar 
Published: July 2021

Esse texto visa apresentar a investigação sobre as práticas educativas imbricadas com as relações de gênero e sexualidade em um terreiro de candomblé de nação Ketu, o Ilé Asé Iyá Ogunté, em Ananindeua – Pará. Leva-se em conta os estudos feministas e de relações de sexo - gênero feitos por Rubin (2003), Yogyakarta (2006), Samara (2000) e Akotirene (2019) para buscar entender os processos pelos quais as relações de sexo/gênero servem como fatores de afirmação identitária. Salientamos a noção de cosmopercepção Oyěwùmí (2002) para compreender a forma multissensorial de perceber as relações sociais. A metodologia é baseada no “Reparar miúdo, narrar Kékeré” de Caputo (2018). Enxerga-se a existência de duas correntes principais de entendimento/atuação: a primeira nega a possibilidade de mudanças alegando questões biologizantes e associando sexo - gênero condicionados ao corpo físico de nascimento, e uma segunda corrente que entende a necessidade de reordenação das relações sociais e práticas educativas no que toca às redesignações de sexo - gênero dos membros das comunidades de terreiro. Assim, a percepção aponta para uma participação das crianças no processo de discussão desse debate, não estando alheias ao processo como o pensamento adultocêntrico pode fazer parecer, bem como a compreensão de que as transformações das regras sociais estão em constante processo de reformatação.
A decoloniedade dos Povos Bantu na luta antirracista no chão da escola: uma experiência de intervenção
Authors: De Oliveira Wudson Guilherme 
Published: July 2021

O texto tem como propósito apresentar uma análise decolonial referente as diferentes características e contribuições dos povos Bantu em obras literárias afro-brasileiras, como forma de corroborar com a construção da identidade de jovens negros, como medida de enfrentamento às diversas situações desfavoráveis das populações negras, que perpassam pelo cotidiano do chão da escola, que são propagados pelos padrões eurocêntricos e na discriminação racial. Todavia, buscamos debruçar nossas reflexões em publicações acadêmicas e livros de literaturas infantis e infanto-juvenis, que articulam com as perspectivas da Lei Federal 10.639/2003 que torna obrigatório o ensino da história e cultura dos povos africanos e a sua diáspora no Brasil, em todos os currículos escolares. Posteriormente, iremos analisar um breve estudo de caso, de como foram implementadas as leis contidas no Artigo 26-A da LDBEN em uma instituição privada localizada no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de oficinas/aulas de sensibilização, contação de histórias, exposição de livros de literatura africana, indígena e afro-brasileira e rodas de diálogos, na qual foram desenvolvidas como estratégias para a elevação da autoestima das crianças negras, o resgate da identidade, propagação da diversidade cultural e o incentivo à leitura, para a redução do racismo na conjuntura atual do país.
Fotos etnográficas como prática de pesquisa na pandemia – O que dizem as imagens?
Authors: Teperino Juliana Braga 
Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho busca dialogar, através das imagens feitas pela etnografia no campo de pesquisa Quilombo Cafundá Astrogilda, e a partir de uma nova percepção (MAGNANI 2009), onde observaremos não só o campo, mas o que está por trás dele, tentando entender como um pesquisador inicia uma pesquisa, em um momento que somos todos atravessados pela pandemia causada pelo vírus da Covid-19 e mesmo com todas as medidas de precaução orientadas pela OMS, o que se torna possível, o que temos de palpável, o que muda não somente na nossa prática, mas na forma como nos relacionamos com o campo, com as fotos e com nós mesmos? talvez, uma movimentação parecida com a descrita acima pelo autor. Como se trata de uma pesquisa que está dando seus primeiros passos, não garantimos que todas as perguntas sejam respondidas, mas que as imagens possam reverberar pensamentos e ideias outras sobre o nosso ofício de ser pesquisador em tempos tão desafiadores.
Single-scatter path loss model of LED-based non-line-of-sight ultraviolet communications
Authors: Cao Tian , Gao Xinyu , Wu Tianfeng , Pan Changyong , Song Jian 
Published: July 2021

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are popularly used as light sources in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ultraviolet communications (UVC). However, currently reported single-scatter path loss (PL) models of NLOS UVC links assume that the radiant intensity of the light source is uniformly distributed within the beam divergence angle, which cannot well characterize the light emission pattern of LEDs. In this Letter, we propose a single-scatter PL model for LED-based NLOS UVC systems, and the corresponding analytical expression is derived by modeling the LED emission pattern as a Lambertian distribution. Monte Carlo simulations and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed PL model. Results show that the proposed model can accurately predict PL results in actual situations. The root-mean-square error of the proposed PL model is only about 1 dB in typical scenarios with experimental results as benchmarks. Also, the proposed model is much easier to implement than the currently reported PL model with the light source model of a uniformly distributed emission pattern.

Published: July 2021

Background
The number of days spent at home in the last six months of life has been proposed as a comprehensive indicator of high-value patient-centered care; however, information regarding the determinants of this outcome is scarce, particularly among the general population. We investigated the determinants of spending time at home within the six months preceding death.

Methods
Population-based, retrospective analysis of administrative databases of the Catalan government. The analysis included adult (≥18 years) individuals who died in Catalonia (North-east Spain) in 2017 and met the McNamara criteria for palliative care. The primary outcome was the number of days spent at home within the last 180 days of life. Other variables included the cause of death, demographic characteristics, and socioeconomic status, stratified as very low, low, mid, and high level.

Results
The analysis included 40,137 individuals (19,510 women; 20,627 men), who spent a median of 140 days (IQR 16–171) at home within the six months preceding death (women 140 [16–171]; men 150 [100–171]). Female gender was an independent factor of staying fewer days at home (OR 0.80 [95% CI 0.77–0.82]; p<0.001). Higher socioeconomic levels were significantly associated with an increasing number of days at home in both genders: among women, ORs of the low, middle, and high levels were 1.09 (0.97–1.22), 1.54 (1.36–1.75), and 2.52 (1.69–3.75) (p<0.001), respectively; the corresponding ORs among men were 1.27 (1.12–1.43), 1.56 (1.38–1.77), 2.82 (2.04–3.88) (p<0.001). The presence of dementia was a strong predictor of spending less time at home in women (0.41 (0.38–0.43); p<0.001) and men (0.45 (0.41–0.48); p<0.001).

Conclusions
Our results suggest that end-of-life care is associated with gender and socioeconomic inequalities; women and individuals with lower socioeconomic status spend less time at home within the last 180 days of life.
OCRbayes: A Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework for Seahorse extracellular flux oxygen consumption rate data analysis
Authors: Zhang Xiang , Yuan Taolin , Keijer Jaap , de Boer Vincent C. J. 
Published: July 2021

Background
Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in many complex diseases. Efficient and accurate evaluation of mitochondrial functionality is crucial for understanding pathology as well as facilitating novel therapeutic developments. As a popular platform, Seahorse extracellular flux (XF) analyzer is widely used for measuring mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in living cells. A hidden feature of Seahorse XF OCR data is that it has a complex data structure, caused by nesting and crossing between measurement cycles, wells and plates. Surprisingly, statistical analysis of Seahorse XF data has not received sufficient attention, and current methods completely ignore the complex data structure, impairing the robustness of statistical inference.

Results
To rigorously incorporate the complex structure into data analysis, here we developed a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework, OCRbayes, and demonstrated its applicability based on analysis of published data sets.

Conclusions
We showed that OCRbayes can analyze Seahorse XF OCR experimental data derived from either single or multiple plates. Moreover, OCRbayes has potential to be used for diagnosing patients with mitochondrial diseases.

Los jugadores de rol suelen pertenecer a pequeños grupos con los que juegan. Normalmente estos grupos no cambian a lo largo de los años, existiendo reticencias a la hora de añadir nuevos miembros al grupo de juego. El Proyecto Mímesis nace en Salamanca en forma de asociación unificadora de jugadores, proponiendo actividades lúdico-culturales para todo el mundo rolero de la ciudad. Se pretende fomentar el universo de los juegos de rol, darlo a conocer y servir de plataforma y modelo para futuros proyectos relacionados con esta forma de ocio.

Authors: Villalustre Martínez Lourdes , Del Moral Pérez Mª Esther 
Published: July 2021

En la formación universitaria se está apostando por estrategias y recursos didácticos, -que aprovechan las potencialidades de diferentes instrumentos digitales-, como las Webquests en tanto metodologías de investigación colaborativa apoyada en la búsqueda de información y en la utilización de contenidos alojados en Internet para la realización de proyectos. Los cuales pueden articularse a partir de herramientas 2.0 como las wikis, por su gran versatilidad y capacidad para generar conocimiento de forma colaborativa mediante la creación de contenidos on-line.
En la asignatura virtual de Educación en el ámbito rural1 se ha diseñado una actividad formativa en colaboración basada en la filosofía de las webquests y apoyada en el uso de las wikis, - configurando lo que se denominó Gameproject- Del Moral; Villalustre (2007b), que promueve el acceso y gestión de la información para elaborar un proyecto de intervención socio-educativo.
Tras su implementación en varios años, se preguntó a 161 estudiantes sobre las competencias que consideraban haber desarrollado y/o consolidado con el trabajo colaborativo planteado. Éstos destacaron mayoritariamente las habilidades para la investigación, la recogida y tratamiento de la información, y otras más específicas vinculadas al futuro desempeño de su actividad profesional. Hay que destacar que los estudiantes sin experiencia previa en cursos de formación virtual consideraron haber consolidado más las competencias vinculadas al uso de herramientas informáticas.
Los jóvenes portugueses de los 10 a los 19 años: ¿qué hacen con los ordenadores?
Authors: Costa José Joaquín 
Published: July 2021

Uno de los aspectos mas interesantes en la formación inicial en informática en el contexto universitario es la diversidad de experiencias y competencias de los alumnos.
A fin de percibir la evolución de la utilización del ordenador en el tramo de edad de los 10 a los 19 años de los jóvenes portugueses, elaboramos un cuestionario sobre: utilización del pc, contexto, tipo de equipamiento; acceso a Internet, modalidad, actividades desarrolladas, tiempo, contexto; programas de chat, redes sociales y blog; control de su uso por parte de sus padres, modalidad; formación en TIC.
A partir de una muestra de 390 jóvenes portugueses los datos fueron tratados para permitir comparaciones en función de los grupos de edad 10-12 años, 13-15 años y 16-19 años. La información recogida permitirá elaborar un cuadro evolutivo de las competencias de los jóvenes, así como tener una idea aproximada del uso de las TIC en los sujetos que inician la universidad.
Semantic Analysis of the Term «Digital Security»
Authors: Begishev Ildar 
Published: July 2021

The article attempts at the semantic analysis of the term «digital security», revealing the scope of the meaning of this concept on the basis of theoretical and empirical research. The topicality of the problem is determined by the frequency, expansion of the use of the term «information security», which is associated with the phenomenon of the rapid development of digital technologies, and followed by systems to ensure the protection of digital information at all levels – state, corporate, personal.
The research problem is connected with the insufficiently studied meaning of this term; therefore, the aim of the work was to identify the specific semantic field of the phrase «digital security». The tasks to be solved during the study are its distinction from semantically related phrases and concepts, clarification of the understanding of the term by representatives of target audiences.
Due to the novelty of entering language lexicographic practice (dictionaries), this term has not yet been fully described, which is of interest not only from a scientific and substantive point of view (legal, informational, communication, multimedia, technological, etc.), but with semantic as well.
Theoretical and empirical research methods were used in the work: in addition to a thorough analysis of open sources, a survey was conducted of more than a hundred respondents – representatives of target audiences using modern digital technologies and an interactive method of collecting information.
The study allowed us to conclude that the semantic core of the concept of «digital security» consists of the following meanings: «security of information, digital data, personal information in a digital environment, digital information»; «protection, digital information security»; «Internet security»; «Confidentiality and integrity of information in digital form»; «Security when using digital technologies», «information security in digital networks, information systems», etc. Associations and connotations form the semantic periphery, such as «protection against hacks and hacker attacks»; «storage (security) of data on a personal device»; «cybersecurity»; «awareness of individuals and the population about certain safe ways of working with information», etc.
The analysis also allowed us to conclude that the term (phrase) «digital security» is stable, it is synonymous in the minds of many carriers with combinations of the noun security with the adjectives information, computer, cyber, electronic, as well as the prospects for enhancing its further existence in the language.
Making Explicit What has Been Implicit
Authors: Denil Mark 
Published: July 2021

How is a map different from things that are not maps? What is a map? How do you know it's a map? Such questions appear quite simple—the answers would seem to be things everyone knows almost without thinking—yet comprehensive answers have proved elusive. Hitherto, such existential questions have almost inevitably been either conflated with practical ones or deliberately ignored.
Map artifacts are, by themselves, mere things. Like any text, the map artifact can be read, and, through the action of being read, the artifact comes to bear meaning. Maps, however, go beyond mere meaning-bearing to achieve a state where they actually embody meaning. Reaching a state of meaning-embodiment requires a transformation that is analogous to an apotheosis or a transfiguration of the common clay of the artifact into an abstract conceptual state of map-hood.
Describing this transfiguration into a conceptual state requires a Conceptual theory of cartography—one that defines the relationship between the artifact as a thing and the map as an abstract entity, and that also defines the map entity in a manner unambiguously applicable to every, any, and all maps. Such a theory would also have to define the discipline of cartography in relation to that abstract map entity.
This paper proposes the outlines for the required Conceptual theory—one based on the proven model of Conceptual Art. Practically speaking, the first step—and the effective scope of the paper—is an inquiry into the nature of the map as an abstract conceptual entity. It provides a model for an investigative methodology for interrogating the formal map, and sketches out a framework for assimilating the findings of such investigations. This paper will not settle all fundamental questions about what a map is, but it will outline an analytical course that can address them. It proposes that asking how one knows something is a map is a step on the road to discovering what a map is.
Being Chinese in Lived Intercultural Experiences: A Discourse Analysis of Chinese Undergraduates’ Perceptions of Chinese Culture
Authors: He Yuanyuan , Xiao Lin 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The current study investigates a group of Chinese undergraduates’ perceptions of Chinese culture. It examines the discourses that the students drew on to assign meaning to Chinese culture and how the students used these discourses in constructing their Chinese cultural identity. A qualitative study was conducted collecting written self-reflective reports on critical intercultural incidents from 39 Chinese undergraduates at a university in Beijing. Questions designed to evoke reports from the students had them describe incidents in their past intercultural experiences that made them acutely aware of themselves “being Chinese” and specify aspects of Chinese culture that they felt such awareness could be attributed to. A discourse analysis reveals the multiplicity and contextuality of the students’ notions of Chinese culture. The findings raise important considerations for contemporary Chinese undergraduates’ cultural identity and their much debated “identity crisis.”
