Authors: Tel Mikail 
Published: December 2021

The aim of this research is to determine athletes ' views on digital games and to determine their relationship to certain variables. 1521 (927 male, 594 female) athletes who continue their activities in different branches constitute the sample of the research. The research is in the screening model and has a descriptive quality. As a data collection tool, an online questionnaire was applied in which participants' demographic information, frequency of game play, the duration of game play with either mobile phone and desktop computer, and their digital game play status were surveyed. The data was analyzed using the SPSS statistical package program and the significance level was accepted as p<0.05.	As a result, 60.9% of the research group were male, 35.5% were between the ages of 21 and 30, 59.2% were students, and 61.5% were undergraduates or graduates. 36.9% of participants were observed to play sports between 1-5 years, 27.5% were observed to play sports between 6-10 years, and 62.9% of them still continued their sports activities as athletes. In the study, it was determined that athletes played games in moderate frequency and preferred to play games at higher rates, daily, using their mobile phones. Participants expressed that they liked to play games and wanted to play again when they were successful in those games. Athletes stated that games are addictive, games with violent elements negatively affect people, and while excessive gameplay negatively affects social life, games also help them to relieve their boredom. They believe that games which are played with friends and family, etc. improved social skills, and they noted that games can be used for educational purposes, and that playing games helps them learn something new, but is mostly effective in filling out free time. Athletes also noted that they did not believe that playing digital games improved their athletic abilities specific to their sport in any way. A statistically significant difference was found when athletes' views on gender and digital games were examined. It was determined that there were statistically significant differences according to age, profession, year of playing sports, level in sports branch, frequency of playing games, duration of playing games with mobile phones, duration of playing games with computers, and that there were no statistically significant difference according to educational status.	As a result, it was determined that the athletes in the research group played digital games with medium frequency and liked to play games. We believe that it will be useful for athletes to use digital games, the internet and social media to develop their skills in their branch of sports. Keywords: Digital game, sports and Digital Game, athletes and digital game.

With an aim to explore the effects of β‐alanine (β‐A) on spatial memory and fatigue resistance, Kunming mice were treated with different concentrations of β‐A (418, 836, and 2090 mg·kg‐1 ·day‐1). After gavage feeding with β‐A for 10 weeks, results of the maze and MWM tests showed that β‐A can enhance spatial learning and memory in mice. After evaluating the fatigue resistance, biochemical parameters (LG, GG, BUN, SOD, and MDA) showed significant differences in the low concentration treatment group compared to control group. Our data demonstrated that the appropriate dose of β‐A can alleviate the oxidative stress and muscle fatigue in mice. Subsequently, expression of mRNA of key genes involved in cAMP‐PKA pathway (PDE4A, MAPK1, adcy1, cAMP and CREB) was up regulated. Also, expression levels of apoptotic pathway genes were significantly affected as confirmed by qPCR and Western blotting. Our results demonstrated that β‐A can enhance spatial learning and memory in mice via regulation of cAMP‐PKA and apoptotic pathway.

El cuerpo y la enseñanza de la arquitectura
Authors: Zúñiga Alegría Blanca 
Published: December 2021

La relación entre el cuerpo sensible y el intelecto a ratos se ven conflictuados en la contemporaneidad, al punto que suele primar solo la relación intelectual/racional de las cosas, por sobre valores y saberes relacionados a los sentidos y la intuición. Este quiebre esta dado por múltiples razones que se identifican en este texto desde pre revolución industrial a nuestros días. Esta mirada se revisa desde la filosofía , desde la sociología así como desde la teoría en arquitectura. También es necesario mencionar que el sistema escolar, tanto como los espacios en donde habitan va incidiendo también en la estandarización y adiestramiento de los cuerpos. Este fenómeno se hace patente en el momento en que ingresan a la Universidad, lo que se pretende atacar en la escuela de arquitectura a través de una serie de ejercicios académicos que devolverían valores como el tiempo, la relación del cuerpo intelectual con el cuerpo sensible en función de establecer cuerpos íntegros para el buen desarrollo del oficio de arquitecto.
Políticas de la representación urbana en Chile: irrupciones y disrrupciones colectivas para imaginar otras ciudades desde la desmonumentalización
Authors: Jofré Poblete Natalia , Chaparro-Medina Paola Margarita 
Published: December 2021

Durante la revuelta social en Chile (desde octubre del 2019), las ciudades a lo largo del país se convirtieron en territorios en disputa. En ellas no solamente confluyeron manifestantes con consignas, discursos y pancartas, sino que se desplegaron diversas acciones colectivas que tensionaron el espacio público; emergiendo así una densidad emocional que planteaba la resignificación del espacio urbano, a través de la interrupción del orden de la representación dispuesto en la lógica de los símbolos materializada en los monumentos.
La ciudad constantemente entabla un diálogo entre distintas temporalidades, pasado-presente-futuro, exponiendo, por una parte, las pautas de la representación; y por otro lado, la posibilidad para abrir estos espacios como una materialidad que permite la confluencia de otras formas de reconocernos e imaginarnos a partir de la conformación de nuevas significaciones. En ese sentido, resulta neural resaltar las prácticas de resignificación de los espacios urbanos, las cuales se dieron mediante rayados, intervenciones y derrocamiento de los monumentos presentes en el espacio público.
Todo este proceso expresa emociones e imaginarios que confluyen en una diversidad de significados que buscan, entre otras cosas, visibilizar que el espacio urbano representa una lógica de poder colonial, patriarcal y clasista, que permiten el mantenimiento de un modelo neoliberal. En esta narrativa, las ciudades se presentan como espacios posibles, donde se pone en entredicho el orden de la representación y donde las subjetividades intentan transformarlas con una mano en la memoria y la otra en el futuro

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. Based on 35 years' (1959-1993) data, the zonal and meridional wind components of selected Indian RS/RW statiomupto 100 hPa level were analysed for the pre-monsoon months of April and May in order to associate them with sub-regional monsoon rainfall of northeast India. Composite values of monsoon rainfall and meridional components for May for excess and deficient yean have revealed that anomaly of meridional components for the middle and upper troposphere is northerly/southerly preceding excees/deficient monsoon year. The meridional winds at most of the levels of Delhi and some of the levels of Jodhpur Nagpur, Bombay and Madras for the month of May showed significant correlations (significant at 0.1% to 5% level of significance) with sub-divisional monsoon rainfall in northeast India. The temporal behaviour of correlation coefficients for Punjab and Haryana for 16 and 20-year sliding windows has exhibited rasonable temporal stability except for first few years. Multiple rearession equations for 30 and 35 year period for Haryana, Punjab and contiguous northweat India were also developed. The regression model for Punjab sub-division has shown quite good results for the independent period.

The result of the Principal Component Analysis of southwest and northeast monsoon rainfall on the southern India plateau have been discussed. Monsoon rainfall data of five meteorological sub-divisions, i.e., Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalseema, Tamilnadu, Interior parts of South Karnataka & Kerala, for a period of 33 years (1960-92), have been utilized. The results indicate that the rainfall of Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalseema has maximum impact on first principal component of southwest monsoon rainfall of five meteorological sub-divisions. The study of only first principal component is sufficient in order to understand the 49% of total variability of southwest monsoon rainfall. Analysis of first three principal components is important to understand 85% of total variability of the rainfall of this season.

On the first principal component of northeast monsoon rainfall of aforesaid five meteorological sub-divisions the impact of the rainfall of Kerala and south interior Karnataka has been found maximum. In order to understand the 56% of total variability the analysis of first principal component is sufficient.

The special negative relation is found between northeast monsoon rainfall on the Coastal Andhra Pradesh and southwest monsoon rainfall of previous year on this very sub-division and Rayalseema. The principal components of southwest monsoon rainfall may prove useful for forecasting the northeast monsoon rainfall of southern Indian plateau.
Tropical cyclone simulation with Emanuel’s convection scheme
Authors: RAO D.V. BHASKAR 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. A new convection parameterization scheme proposed by Emanuel (1991) is used to simulate the evolution of tropical cyclone. The numerical model used for this study is a 19 level axi-symmetric primitive equation, hydrostatic model in a z co-ordinate system. The vertical domain ranges from 0 to 18 km and the horizontal domain ranges upto 3114 km with a resolution of 20 km. in the central 400 km radius and with increasing radial distance thereafter.
The evolution of an initially balanced vortex with an initial strength of 9 m/sec is studied. It is shown that Emanuel's convection scheme is successful in simulating the development of the initial vortex into a mature, intense cyclonic storm. At the mature stage, a minimum surface pressure of 930 hPa is attained with the associated low level maximum tangential wind speed of 70 m/sec. The simulated circulation features at the mature stage show the formation of an intense cyclone.

Two different sensitivity experiments were performed. A set of experiments with the variation of sea surface temperature (SST) from 300.5° to 302° K in steps of 0.5° K have shown that the intensity of model cyclone increases with the increase of SST. Another set of experiments with variation of latitude has shown that the cyclonic storm is more intense at lower latitudes.
Data assimilation by the variational method with results for the Indian region
Authors: ANDERSSON ERIK , KELLY GRAEME A. , LANZINGER ANDREAS 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. The variational method for data assimilation as implemented in the operational scheme at ECMWF is briefly presented. The performance of the variational scheme (3D-Var) with respect to tropical cyclones and the Asian summer monsoon is investigated and compared to the Optimum Interpolation scheme. It is found that the analysis of near-surface winds has improved significantly particularly in the vicinity of tropical storms and depressions. The better analyses have led to improvements in the short range forecasts (day 1 to day 3) of such systems.
The summer monsoon appears slightly stronger in the 3D-Var analyses, giving enhanced forecast precipitation over the Western Ghats and over large parts of northern India. Only in the latter of these two areas does this verify with observations. The forecasts for India of geopotential, wind and temperature have improved significantly at all forecast ranges, as verified against own analyses. These results are based on 28 cases in two separate 2-week periods.
A POLICY-MAKING FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING THE KAOHSIUNG PORT’S ECONOMIC RESILIENCE
Authors: Tai H H , Yang C C 
Published: December 2021

This paper is a revised and expanded version of a paper entitled ‘Influential indicators for measuring Kaohsiung port resilience’ presented at the International Forum on Shipping, Port, and Airports (IFSPA 2013), Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, 3–5 June 2013.
The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method commonly used in the issue of decision making was performed in this study to propose a policy-making framework for enhancing the Kaohsiung port’s economic resilience. A three-level hierarchical structure with 19 attributes is proposed and tested. Results indicate that adjusting the shipping policy is perceived as the most critical strategic dimension to enhance container port resilience. This is followed by increasing incentives, adjusting port operational strategy and exploiting market opportunities. Overall, results show that the five most important strategies for enhancing international container ports’ resilience are training of international marketing personnel, economic deregulation of shipping market across the Taiwan-Strait; subsidising the throughput of containers transhipment, subsidising coastal shipping operations and the alteration of dedicated terminals for rent. This study contributes in proposing a policy-making framework to enhance the container port’s economic resilience, and this framework could also be generalised to other ports.
HULLFORM & HYDRODYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF THE UK FUTURE AIRCRAFT CARRIER (CVF)
Authors: Campbell-Roddis M E 
Published: December 2021

The author is to be congratulated in producing a paper for the journal on an important aspect (hydrodynamics) of a design, which was taken to a considerable level of definition before not being proceeded with. The fact that we so rarely get visibility of the thinking and effort behind “abortive” designs – so very little was allowed to be preserved of the cancelled CVA01 of the 1960s – and that this can be compared to the separately evolved, subsequently fully design and, now in 2017, about to go into service QUEEN ELIZABETH (QEC) carrier, makes this a very worthwhile document for the Transactions.
Not only can the various detailed conclusions on the hydrodynamically related design choices be read for their input to the BAE Systems alternative to the Thales design, that was finally developed into the QEC (see S Knight’s 2009 RINA Conference paper), the paper also provides general insights into the interaction of one specific topic (hydrodynamics) with wider design developments. This can be instructive to future designers of complex ships – not just aircraft carriers. It could be argued that despite the growing capabilities of CFD tools, that there still appears to be a need for substantial model testing of discrete elements of the hydrodynamic design, as described. Would the author like to comment as to whether he sees this dual need for CFD and physical model testing likely to continue whenever new designs “are just that little bit too different” and how one might judge the latter?
Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Metformin
Authors: Sheleme Tadesse 
Published: December 2021

Metformin, the only biguanide oral antidiabetic agent available, was first used clinically in the late 1950s. Metformin remains the first-line pharmacologic treatment for type 2 diabetes patients. It can be used as a single agent or in combination therapy with other antidiabetes agents, including insulin. Metformin is absorbed predominately from the small intestine. It is rapidly distributed following absorption and does not bind to plasma proteins. It is excreted unchanged in urine. The elimination half-life of Metformin during multiple dosages in patients with good renal function is approximately 5 hours.
How the Concept of Performativity Travels: between People and Media / Kuidas performatiivsuse mõiste rändab: inimeste ja meedia vahel
Authors: Bal Mieke 
Published: December 2021

Abstract: This article examines how the concepts of performance and performativity can neither be merged nor firmly distinguished. The author calls on her own practice as a video-maker and academic thinker, establishing a dialogue between the two activities. She borrows extensively from the work of a colleague, with examples from photography, considering collegiality also a form of performativity. The conceptualisation helps argue for a shift from activist to activating art.

Resümee: Artikkel uurib, kuidas etenduse ja performatiivsuse mõisteid ei saa ühitada ega selgelt eristada. Autor tugineb oma kogemusele videorežissööri ja akadeemilise mõtlejana, luues dialoogi nende kahe tegevuse vahel. Kolleegi fotograafia-alastest töödest lähtudes arutleb ta kolleegiaalsuse kui performatiivsuse ühe vormi üle. See kontseptsioon viib tõdemuseni, et kunsti kui aktivismi juurest tuleks liikuda aktiveeriva kunsti juurde.
