Beato, M, De Keijzer, KL, Leskauskas, Z, Allen, WJ, Dello Iacono, A, and McErlain-Naylor, SA. Effect of postactivation potentiation after medium vs. high inertia eccentric overload exercise on standing long jump, countermovement jump, and change of direction performance. J Strength Cond Res 35(9): 2616–2621, 2021—This study aimed to evaluate the postactivation potentiation (PAP) effects of an eccentric overload (EOL) exercise on vertical and horizontal jumps and change of direction (COD) performance. Twelve healthy physically active male subjects were involved in a crossover study. The subjects performed 3 sets of 6 repetitions of EOL half squats for maximal power using a flywheel ergometer. Postactivation potentiation using an EOL exercise was compared between a medium (M-EOL) vs. high inertia (H-EOL) experimental condition. Long jump (LJ) was recorded at 30 seconds, 3, and 6 minutes after both EOL exercises and compared with baseline values (control). The same procedure was used to assess countermovement jump (CMJ) height and peak power and 5-m COD test (COD-5m). A fully Bayesian statistical approach to provide probabilistic statements was used in this study. Long jump performance reported improvements after M-EOL and H-EOL exercise (Bayes factor [BF10] = 32.7, strong; BF10 = 9.2, moderate), respectively. Countermovement jump height (BF10 = 135.6, extreme; BF10 > 200, extreme), CMJ peak power (BF10 > 200, extreme; BF10 = 56.1, very strong), and COD-5m (BF10 = 55.7, very strong; BF10 = 16.4, strong) reported improvements after M-EOL and H-EOL exercise, respectively. Between analysis did not report meaningful differences in performance between M-EOL and H-EOL exercises. The present outcomes highlight that PAP using an EOL (M-EOL and H-EOL) improves LJ, CMJ height, CMJ peak power, and COD-5m in male athletes. The optimal time window for the PAP effect was found for both EOL conditions from 3 to 6 minutes. However, M-EOL and H-EOL produce similar PAP effect on LJ, CMJ, and COD-5m tasks.

Abstract
Abade, E, Silva, N, Ferreira, R, Baptista, J, Gonçalves, B, Osório, S, and Viana, JL. Effects of adding vertical or horizontal force-vector exercises to in-season general strength training on jumping and sprinting performance of youth football players. J Strength Cond Res 35(10): 2769–2774, 2021—Football is characterized by short-term high-intensity triaxial activities that require optimized neuromuscular capacity. Thus, training routines must consider the direction of force application, particularly when strength exercises are performed. This study aimed to explore the effects of adding vertical or horizontal force-vector exercises to a 20-week in-season general strength training program on jumping and sprinting performance of youth football players. Twenty-four well-trained male under-17 players participated in this study and were randomly assigned to a control, vertical, or horizontal training group. Control group performed a general strength training program (free weights, eccentric-overload, and body mass exercises) once a week during 20 weeks. Vertical and horizontal groups additionally performed back-half-squat or barbell hip-thrust, respectively. Vertical group improved vertical jump (VJ) (squat jump, likely 4.5; ±4.4% and countermovement jump, likely 4.9; ±4.1%), horizontal jump (HJ) (most likely 7.5; ±2.7%), and sprint (10 m, likely −1.6; ±2.0% and 20 m, very likely −3.3; ±1.6%). The horizontal group showed unclear results in VJ; however, large improvements were observed in HJ (most likely, 13.0; ±4.8%), 10 m and 20 m (very likely −3.0; ±1.8% and most likely −3.8; ±1.0%, respectively). Back-squat and hip-thrust showed an important transference effect to both jumping and sprinting performance. If considering the effects of back-squat on VJ, hip-thrust improved HJ and sprint to a greater extent. This study reinforces the importance of performing both vertical and horizontal force-vector exercises to enhance physical performance during football in-season, even when performed only once a week.

Abstract
Pickett, CW, Nosaka, K, Zois, J, and Blazevich, AJ. Relationships between midthigh pull force development and 200-m race performance in highly trained kayakers. J Strength Cond Res 35(10): 2853–2861, 2021—While increased lower-limb force production during kayaking has been shown to be related to increased boat velocity, poor relationships between maximal deadlift test performances and 200-m race time have been observed previously. This discrepancy may result from either a lack of movement pattern or temporal force production specificity between the test and kayak paddling. The isometric midthigh pull (MTP) test is commonly used in strength testing and quantifies temporal and peak force production, with the lower limbs positioned in a more kayak-specific manner than the deadlift test. Midthigh pull force data collected from 11 high-level kayak athletes were analyzed for both reliability and correlations with 200-m race time and deadlift isoinertial strength 3 repetition maximum (3RM). Strong consideration was given to the collection, processing, and analysis of the MTP data, which markedly affected the study results. Correlations between race time and MTP peak force and rates of force development were poor to moderate (r = −0.49 to 0.07). Strong to very strong relationships (r = 0.66–0.79) were found between forces developed early in the MTP (<0.15 seconds) and deadlift 3RM strength tests but were poor for later time-specific force development (r ≤ 0.12). However, poor reliability was found for force measured up to ≤0.25 seconds from the point of force onset (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.8). Owing to the relatively weak relationships with 200-m race time, and the large variability of the data, it may not be wise to include the MTP in the testing and training of 200-m kayak athletes.
Auxiliary Particle Filter–Based Multisensor Data Fusion for Quantification of Corrosion in Aerostructures

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The identification of structural flaws and subsequent management is significant for health monitoring of aviation structures. Wall thickness loss can occur because of corrosion in exposed aerostructures, thereby reducing the strength of the structure. This may impose prolonged downtimes for repair and replacement activities if not detected at early stages. Eddy current testing (ECT) is a viable technique to detect such anomalies. Fusing multifrequency data produces better results because of complementary features of each contributing mode. Particle filter–based methods have already been proposed to detect and quantify flaw profiles of corrosion damage to an aircraft structure using a multifrequency ECT data fusion technique. However, to address the associated drawbacks, an auxiliary particle filter (APF) method is proposed here. In APF, the proposed importance density is a mixture of the prior state and the latest measurements, yielding focused estimation into a high-likelihood region. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed technique to quantify damages in aerostructures.

Purpose: Trunk control is the key component for functional movements and affected by limited blood circulation in neurological diseases. Although the relationship between trunk control, gait and functional independence is clear neurological conditions as stroke, it is not known in patients who underwent surgery for brain tumor. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between trunk control, functional independence and functional capacity in patients with brain tumors early period after surgery. Materials and Methods: Trunk control, functional mobility and independence of twelve patients with brain tumor were evaluated by 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT), Trunk Impairment Test (TIS) and Barthel Index, respectively in early postoperative period. Results: Functional mobility was positively correlated with total and static trunk control (p=0.028, r=0.629 for total trunk control and p=0.029, r=0.627 for static trunk control). Functional independence was correlated to total trunk control (p=0.023, r=0.674).Conclusion: Functional mobility was closely associated with trunk control and functional independence in patients with brain tumor early period after surgery. Intensive evaluation that targets trunk control early after surgery should be done to regain better functional mobility for functional independence.

Purpose: Bone metabolism can be monitored quantitatively by measuring bone turnover markers in serum and/or urine. We aimed to investigate long-term effect of the type of the anesthesia on bone turnover markers and fracture healingMaterials and Methods:Thirty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status I-II whom were aged 40-70 years, scheduled for hip fracture were recruited. Patients were divided into the two groups as general anesthesia and regional anesthesia. Only morphine and tramadol were used for postoperative analgesia till the 12th weeks. Serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcine, β-C terminal telopeptide and urine β-C terminal telopeptide levels were measured at preoperative, 4.th week and 12.th week of fracture. Results:A total of 25 patients were eligible for the study. There were no statistically significant between groups for values of bone turnover markers at the time point of preoperative, 4.th and 12.th weeks. With using linear regression analysis, serum β-CTX levels at 12.th week can be predict by 4.th weeks β-CTX levels (R2: 0.944) and urine β-CTX levels at 12.th week can be predicted by first week level.Conclusion: This pilot study showed that both general and regional anesthesia has similar effect on bone turnover markers and fracture healing.

Kalkınmanın dinamik bir olgu olması, zaman içinde hedef ve stratejilerin de değişmesine neden olmaktadır. II. Dünya Savaşı’na kadar uzanan dönemde iktisadi analizlerde mekân yerine zaman kavramına önem verilmiştir. Kalkınmanın temelinde yer alan bölgesel kalkınma, özellikle II. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında mekânlar arasında gözlemlenen kalkınma farklılıkları nedeniyle iktisatçıların ve politika yapıcıların dikkatlerini çekmiştir. Mekânsal temelli olarak açıklanmaya çalışılan bu eşitsizlik uygulanan politik yaklaşımlarda da önemli dönüşümleri beraberinde getirmiştir. Merkeziyetçilikten uzaklaşarak giderek yerelleşmeye dönük geliştirilen teorik ve politik yaklaşımlar hem yeni kuramların hem de yeni kurumsal oluşumların ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Geleneksel Bölgecilikten, Yeni Bölgecilik akımına geçişte yaşanan teorik dönüşümler incelenirken bu dönüşümlerin Türkiye’deki bölgesel kalkınma politikaları üzerinde yaratmış olduğu yansımalar ortaya konmaktadır.

Authors: Vasquez Bedoya Manuela , Arroyave Maya María del Pilar 
Published: June 2019

La contaminación atmosférica es un problema global y Colombia no es ajeno a esta problemática. Específicamente, el Valle de Aburrá ha presentado elevados niveles de material particulado en el aire (MP) que sobrepasan los límites establecidos por la Norma Colombiana de Calidad del Aire y por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). En el presente trabajo, se realizó una clasificación de las 100 especies arbóreas más comunes en Valle de Aburrá que mejor controlan el MP, a partir de sus rasgos funcionales. Retrophyllum rospigliosii, Inga densiflora, Zygia longifolia, Bauhinia picta y Calliandra haematocephala fueron las cinco especies nativas con el mayor potencial de remoción. Se sugiere que aquellas especies que se encuentran por encima del promedio 17.8 en la clasificación sean consideradas en planes de siembra orientados a mejorar la calidad del aire dentro del Valle de Aburrá.
Brief Overview of Modelling Methods, Life-Cycle and Application Domains of Cyber-Physical Systems

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are systems that connect the physical world with the virtual world of information processing. They consist of various components that work together to create some global behaviour. These components include software systems, communication technologies and sensors, executive mechanisms that interact with the real world, often including embedded technologies. One CPS may include a variety of components from different manufacturers or service providers, often without even knowing that their products and services are integrated with others as a result of CPS. This paper systematises information about CPS modelling methods and domains and presents the CPS modelling cycle – from abstraction to architecture and from concept to realisation.
Social Explanation: Structures, Stories, and Ontology. A Reply to Díaz León, Saul, and Sterken
Authors: Haslanger Sally 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
In response to commentaries by Esa Díaz León, Jennifer Saul, and Ra- chel Sterken, I develop more fully my views on the role of structure in social and metaphysical explanation. Although I believe that social agency, quite generally, occurs within practices and structures, the relevance of structure depends on the sort of questions we are asking and what interventions we are considering. The emphasis on questions is also relevant in considering metaphysical and meta-metaphysical is- sues about realism with respect to gender and race. I aim to demon- strate that tools we develop in the context of critical social theory can change the questions we ask, what forms of explanation are called for, and how we do philosophy.
Do We Need Propositions?
Authors: Barnes Gordon 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Trenton Merricks argues that we need propositions to serve as the premises and conclusions of modally valid arguments (Merricks 2015). A modally valid argument is an argument in which, necessarily, if the premises are true, then the conclusion is also true. According to Mer- ricks, the premises and conclusions of modally valid arguments have their truth conditions essentially, and they exist necessarily. Sentences do not satisfy these conditions. Thus, we need propositions. Merricks’ argument adds a new chapter to the longstanding debate over the exis- tence of propositions. However, I argue that Merricks’ argument does not quite succeed. Merricks has overlooked one viable alternative to pos- tulating propositions. However, this alternative employs the relation of being true-at-a-world, which is difficult to analyze. Thus, the soundness of Merricks’ argument ultimately depends on the comparative merits of accepting propositions as abstract entities, versus accepting truth-at-a- world as an unanalyzed relation between sentences and possible worlds.
Dynamics of Selected Soil Quality Indicators in Response to Land Use/Cover and Elevation Variations in Wanka Watershed, Northwestern Ethiopian Highlands

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Soil quality (SQ) dynamics assessment vis-à-vis land use/land cover (LULC) and elevation variations in Ethiopia is desirable as elevation impact on land use is highly pronounced. This study examined SQ indicators dynamics across LULC and elevation variations. For this, surface soil samples (0−20 cm) were collected from the recognized LULC categories of different elevations in Wanka watershed, northwestern Ethiopian highlands. Both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples that were taken from three adjacent LULC (natural forest, grazing and cultivated lands) and elevation (2238–2300, 2400–2600, and 2700–2800) classes analysed for the selected physico-chemical SQ indicators. Two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test and SQ deterioration index were computed. The impact of LULC and elevation was found significant on key SQ indicators. In cultivated and grazing lands, soil organic matter (SOM) and soil nutrients like total nitrogen declined significantly (p < 0.01). Conversely, bulk density increased significantly (p < 0.01). The divalent basic cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+), cation exchange capacity and pH significantly (p < 0.01) decreased in upper elevation. Synergetic effect of LULC and elevation variations was found significant (p < 0.01) on SOM, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, water content at field capacity and soil particle distribution (silt and clay). Thus, elevation specific land management strategies that improve these SQ indicators need to be emphasized.
The Application of Directional Univariate Structure Functions Analysis for Studying the Spatial Anisotropy of Environmental Variables
Authors: Svidzinska Daria 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
As anisotropy is a fundamental property of the real-world environmental spatial variables, the conventional omnidirectional variograms and correlograms do not provide means enough to characterise spatial dependence between observations. The purpose of this article is to introduce directional univariate structure functions analysis to explore and quantify the spatial anisotropy of environmental variables. Analysis of six environmental variables within three physical–geographical regions proved the leading role of relief for landscape differentiation; it also defined the size and extension of major landforms responsible for the organisation of spatial pattern. The arrangement of the vegetation patches demonstrated linkage with the major landforms. The other relief derivatives, being prone to noise and artefacts in the original data, showed a random-variable type of behaviour. In the lack of any particular spatially anisotropic structure, the results of the analysis can provide a clue about meaningful distances of interest at finer scales. The approach can also be an exploratory tool for discrete measurements to recognise the features of spatial continuity.

Abstract
In recent decades, detrimental effects of roads have been the focus of numerous studies. Roadways have various negative effects, such as habitat fragmentation, noise and air pollution, on bird communities. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of traffic noise on the bird’s abundance during autumn period. Field operations were performed in a forest located parallel to a main high-traffic highway. The bird’s abundance was recorded using a point counting method at 27 points along three transects (65, 335 and 605 m from the road). The counting at each point was conducted every five minutes and repeated once every week (12 times during autumn). Environmental indices including the number of trees with DBH of over 20 cm, the number of standing dead trees, canopy cover percentage and Leq 30 were also measured. A total of 2950 bird belonging to 30 species were observed. The number of dominant species (more than 10) in the area considerably changed as the distance from the road increased. Leq 30 had the greatest correlation coefficient with bird abundance. Therefore, traffic noise has negative effects on the bird’s abundance in this area.
