Abstract
Kraft, JA, Laurent, ML, Green, JM, Helm, J, Roberts, C, and Holt, S. Examination of coach and player perceptions of recovery and exertion. J Strength Cond Res 34(5): 1383–1391, 2020—Monitoring training and recovery are essential for exercise programming. Athletes can validly assess training load (TL) via the session rating of perceived exertion (SRPE) technique. However, it is unclear if coaches can successfully use this model. This study compared coach and athlete perceptions of effort and recovery, and it evaluated the efficacy of perceptually based TL monitoring. Participants included 56 athletes (Women's volleyball, soccer, and basketball and Men's basketball) and their coaches (n = 4). Perceived recovery was estimated via the Perceived Recovery Status scale. Scores of TL were calculated using the Edward's heart rate (HR) method and by multiplying SRPE by duration. Coaches provided an intended SRPE (SRPE-CI) before practice. Also, SRPE was independently estimated by coaches (SRPE-CO) and athletes (SRPE-A) ∼15–20 minutes after practice. Paired t-tests and Pearson’s correlations were applied to make comparisons (α ≤ 0.05). Values of SRPE-CI, SRPE-CO, SRPE-A TLs were strongly correlated with Edwards' HR-based TLs (R = 0.74, 0.73, and 0.76, respectively). However, SRPE-CI (5.5 ± 1.9) and SRPE-CO (5.0 ± 1.9) was higher than SRPE-A (4.5 ± 1.9). Coaches estimated recovery higher than athletes (7.1 ± 1.3 vs. 5.8 ± 1.6). Estimates of TL strongly correlated with Edwards' TL regardless of information source (coach or athlete) or time point (SRPE-CI TL or SRPE-CO TL). Results suggest that coaches' perceptions validly indicated TL. Coaches' perceptions provide parallel information (correlated strongly with Edwards TL) but not identical information (demonstrated by differences in SRPE) as athlete perceptions. Differences in perceived recovery indicate that coaches overestimate recovery when compared with athletes' perceptions.

Abstract
Bouteraa, I, Negra, Y, Shephard, RJ, and Chelly, MS. Effects of combined balance and plyometric training on athletic performance in female basketball players. J Strength Cond Res 34(7): 1967–1973, 2020—The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks combined balance and plyometric training on the physical fitness of female adolescent basketball players. Twenty-six healthy regional-level players were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (E; n = 16, age = 16.4 ± 0.5) or a control group (C; n = 10, age = 16.5 ± 0.5). C maintained their normal basketball training schedule, whereas for 8 weeks E replaced a part of their standard regimen by biweekly combined training sessions. Testing before and after training included the squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), drop jump (DJ), 5-, 10-, and 20-m sprints, Stork balance test (SBT), Y-balance test (YBT) and modified Illinois change of direction test (MICODT). Results indicated no significant intergroup differences in SJ and CMJ height; however, E increased their DJ height (p < 0.05, Cohens'd = 0.11). No significant intergroup differences were found for sprint performance or SBT, but dynamic YBT tended to a significant group interaction (p = 0.087, d = 0.006). Post hoc analysis also showed a significant increase of MICODT for E (Δ 6.68%, p = 0.041, d = 0.084). In summary, the addition of 8 weeks of balance and plyometric training to regular in-season basketball training proved a safe and feasible intervention that enhanced DJ height, balance, and agility for female adolescent basketball players relative to the standard basketball training regimen.

Abstract
Orysiak, J, Witek, K, Malczewska-Lenczowska, J, Zembron-Lacny, A, Pokrywka, A, and Sitkowski, D. Upper respiratory tract infection and mucosal immunity in young ice hockey players during the pretournament training period. J Strength Cond Res 33(11): 3129–3135, 2019—The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 17 days of training during preparation for the Ice Hockey Under 18 World Championship of the Polish ice hockey national team on the mucosal immune function and monitor upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) incidence before, during, and after the competition. Twelve male ice hockey players (age, 17.7 ± 0.5 years) were recruited for this study. The first saliva and blood collection took place at the beginning of the training camp (without training at the training camp), the second one was collected on the 9th day of the training camp immediately after the intensification of training, and the third collection was performed on the 13th day of training (4 days before leaving for the World Championship) in the tapering phase. To assess the mucosal immune function, concentrations of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), sIgA1, and sIgA2 were analyzed in saliva. Cortisol concentration and creatine kinase activity were determined in blood, as indicators of stress and muscle damage, respectively. The Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 questionnaire was used to assess URTI symptoms. A significant increase in the sIgA1 and sIgA2 concentrations was observed in the third collection compared with the second time point (114.45 ± 33.00 vs. 77.49 ± 27.29 and 88.97 ± 25.33 vs. 71.65 ± 32.44 U, respectively). There were no statistically significant correlations between the URTI incidence and saliva variables. In conclusion, the tapering period positively affects the mucosal immune function, especially sIgA1 and sIgA2 concentrations, with no significant change in the frequency of URTI in young ice hockey players.

Abstract
Gomes, GK, Franco, CM, Nunes, PRP, and Orsatti, FL. High-frequency resistance training is not more effective than low-frequency resistance training in increasing muscle mass and strength in well-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 33(7S): S130–S139, 2019—We studied the effects of 2 different weekly frequency resistance training (RT) protocols over 8 weeks on muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy in well-trained men. Twenty-three subjects (age: 26.2 ± 4.2 years; RT experience: 6.9 ± 3.1 years) were randomly allocated into the 2 groups: low-frequency resistance training (LFRT, n = 12) or high-frequency resistance training (HFRT, n = 11). The LFRT performed a split-body routine, training each specific muscle group once a week. The HFRT performed a total-body routine, training all muscle groups every session. Both groups performed the same number of sets (10–15 sets) and exercises (1–2 exercise) per week, 8–12 repetitions maximum (70–80% of 1 repetition maximum [1RM]), 5 times per week. Muscle strength (bench press and squat 1RM) and lean tissue mass (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) were assessed before and at the end of the study. Results showed that both groups improved (p < 0.001) muscle strength {LFRT and HFRT: bench press = 5.6 kg (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9–9.4) and 9.7 kg (95% CI: 4.6–14.9) and squat = 8.0 kg (95% CI: 2.7–13.2) and 12.0 kg (95% CI: 5.1–18.1), respectively} and lean tissue mass (p = 0.007) (LFRT and HFRT: total body lean mass = 0.5 kg [95% CI: 0.0–1.1] and 0.8 kg [95% CI: 0.0–1.6], respectively) with no difference between groups (bench press, p = 0.168; squat, p = 0.312, and total body lean mass, p = 0.619). Thus, HFRT and LFRT are similar overload strategies for promoting muscular adaptation in well-trained subjects when the sets and intensity are equated per week.

AbstractAlthough extracellular matrices function as protective barriers to many types of environmental insult, their role in sensing stress and regulating adaptive gene induction responses has not been studied carefully...Extracellular matrix barriers and inducible cytoprotective genes form successive lines of defense against chemical and microbial environmental stressors. The barrier in nematodes is a collagenous extracellular matrix called the cuticle. In Caenorhabditis elegans, disruption of some cuticle collagen genes activates osmolyte and antimicrobial response genes. Physical damage to the epidermis also activates antimicrobial responses. Here, we assayed the effect of knocking down genes required for cuticle and epidermal integrity on diverse cellular stress responses. We found that disruption of specific bands of collagen, called annular furrows, coactivates detoxification, hyperosmotic, and antimicrobial response genes, but not other stress responses. Disruption of other cuticle structures and epidermal integrity does not have the same effect. Several transcription factors act downstream of furrow loss. SKN-1/Nrf and ELT-3/GATA are required for detoxification, SKN-1/Nrf is partially required for the osmolyte response, and STA-2/Stat and ELT-3/GATA for antimicrobial gene expression. Our results are consistent with a cuticle-associated damage sensor that coordinates detoxification, hyperosmotic, and antimicrobial responses through overlapping, but distinct, downstream signaling.
Auge y caída de la planificación regional en Argentina: entre la búsqueda de una autonomía enraizada y el escenario económico del capitalismo periférico (1965-2015)
Authors: Garcia Ariel 
Published: February 2018

La planificación regional en América Latina ha recorrido un largo derrotero. Analizada desde principios de siglo XXI, pareciera incluir instrumentos que posibilitarían una gestión pública de los problemas de desigualdad regional bajo un enfoque integral. Se analiza la relación entre el aparato burocrático estatal y la planificación regional en dos momentos: las décadas de 1960 y del 2010. Se abordan dos políticas de promoción específicas: el Plan Nacional de Desarrollo (1965-1969) y el Plan Estratégico Territorial Argentina 2016. A partir de este análisis, se sostiene que las burocracias estatales y los diversos actores del sector privado no han logrado instituir mecanismos de cooperación para establecer un proyecto compartido, situación que se define por la ausencia de una “autonomía enraizada”.

Se presenta un modelo de evaluación de sustentabilidad de los prestadores de servicios turísticos (PST) que operan el Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona, Magdalena, Colombia. Para su desarrollo, se contó con experiencias sobre buenas prácticas realizadas por los PST en parques naturales. Esta revisión permitió avanzar en el desarrollo de una investigación cuantitativa, en la que se valoró la sustentabilidad de los PST, basado en un modelo estadístico de construcción de índice sumatorio ponderado. Se analizaron 157 buenas prácticas, donde los resultados muestran que el 9,1% de los PST se encuentra en nivel alto del índice de sustentabilidad, mientras que el 27,3% se encuentra en el nivel bajo. En conclusión, la figura jurídica de concesión no es la mejor estrategia de gestión ni tampoco los PST son mejores en el momento de implementación de buenas prácticas.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by United Nations General Assembly on September 25, 2015 are a universal consensus to end poverty, eradicate inequality, protect the globe, tackle the climate change and make sure that all people of the planet enjoy peace and prosperity. Most of the goals are present in Bangladesh. This paper’s aim is to overview the challenges having faced by Bangladesh to acquire the recent phenomenon sustainable development goals. The National Preliminary Report, FAO analysis, the sustainable Development Goals Report 2016, various articles, and newspaper writings have been scrutinized and secondary data have been used to complete the present study. The study finds that the goals are interconnected with one another. Eradicating all challenges will be daunting task for government alone. Sincere and fruitful policy agenda’ taken and implementation can be supportive and successful way to this idealistic wishes and utopian dreams. The policy makers, politicians, philanthropists, Financial Institutions etc can find it easy to solve SDGs related problems. Further analysis can be done on each and separate target and goal of SDGs in the context of the country.

<p>O objetivo desse ensaio é uma aproximação das investigações sobre o Estado desenvolvidas por Joachim Hirsch, em especial, que considerem proposições críticas às teorias ortodoxas do materialismo histórico. A forma e a função estatais são exploradas na teoria do Estado capitalista, incluindo um auxílio do modelo de Hirsch, onde os limites do constitucionalismo social residem na possibilidade interventiva, necessária e constitutiva da experiência política aplacadora da exclusão social, porquanto é o Estado capitalista pressuposto, também exigente de intervenções que o institui em uma ‘forma’ política entre as relações sociais. Diante disso, propomos associar brevemente essas ideias com a crise do Estado brasileiro da segunda década do século XXI. </p>
Development of Bilateral Facet Cysts Causing Recurrent Symptoms After Decompression and the Placement of an Intralaminar Implant
Authors: Kleck Christopher J. , Burger Evalina L. 
Published: February 2018

Case:We report the development of bilateral symptomatic facet joint cysts in a 78-year-old man who had been treated with decompression and placement of a coflex device (Paradigm Spine) at L3-L4 and L4-L5. Preoperative imaging clearly demonstrated fluid in the facet joints without cysts. He underwent standard surgical treatment, but developed symptomatic facet joint cysts at 4 months postoperatively. The patient was treated with a revision decompression and replacement of the devices; there were no issues at the 32-month follow-up.Conclusion:While the coflex device has possible long-term biomechanical advantages, vigilance with adherence to appropriate decompression surgical technique is necessary.

Case:
We describe a 22-year-old woman who underwent total scapulectomy and shoulder joint reconstruction with use of a custom-made ceramic implant composed of hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) for a recurrent atypical perineurioma that had arisen from the scapula.

Conclusion:
To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of shoulder joint reconstruction with use of a custom-made ceramic implant after a total scapulectomy. The patient showed excellent function of the new shoulder joint and good range of motion without pain or dislocation at 18 months postsurgery. This new method of reconstructing the shoulder joint after a total scapulectomy appears useful and promising.

Product and process functionality in shapes necessary to obtain a technical result under EU Trademark Law European Union law permits to register the shape of goods as a trademark, providing an ad hoc set of rules governing this particular category of signs . Both EU Trademark Directive and EU Trademark Regulation (with identical wording) codify three special absolute grounds for refusal or invalidity. These concern “signs which consist exclusively of: (i) the shape which result from the nature of the goods themselves; (ii) the shape of goods which is necessary to obtain a technical result; (iii) the shape which gives substantial value to the goods”
Calculation of Estimated Ultimate Recovery and Recovery Factors of Shale-Gas Wells Using a Probabilistic Model of Original Gas in Place
Authors: Richardson John , Yu Wei 
Published: February 2018

SummaryEstimation of original gas in place (OGIP) in a rock volume provides an upper limit for the expected ultimate recovery. Calculation of OGIP for a drainage region may introduce significant errors when dependent on discrete values; the deterministic OGIP may be either overestimated (positively biased) or underestimated (negatively biased). For example, parameters such as porosity, water saturation, and adsorbed-gas density may vary spatially, which must be accounted for to obtain realistic OGIP estimations. Our objective was to develop a more-accurate OGIP model and use it to probabilistically asses OGIP, estimated ultimate recovery (EUR), and recovery factor (RF) for shale-gas reservoirs such as the Marcellus Shale. The conventional OGIP model was modified to include recent developments in shale geology and gas adsorption. Corrections are made by considering pore space occupied by adsorbed-gas phase, porosity, and water saturation in both matrix and fracture systems to obtain improved OGIP estimations. This change was assessed in the context of both the Langmuir (1918) and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) -isotherm (Brunauer et al. 1938) adsorption models. In addition, a 25-year EUR response-surface model was created using a comprehensive semianalytical model by capturing multiple gas-transport mechanisms such as gas desorption, slippage, diffusion, and non-Darcy flow. The OGIP and EUR models were coupled during Monte Carlo simulation to produce a more-accurate probability distribution for RF. Using the prospective land area in the entire Marcellus Shale, the total P50 OGIP, P50 EUR, and P50 RF were determined as 1,313 Tcf, 492 Tcf, and 38%, respectively.
The complications of jejunostomy tubes for patients receiving Duodopa: New challenges for neuroscience nurses
Authors: Mackinnon Rachael Elizabeth 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The use of Duodopa ® Levodopa-Carbidopa intestinal gel offers patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) an effective alternative therapy for the treatment of severe motor fluctuations and dyskinesia. This therapy requires the use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy/jejunostomy tube (PEG/J) to deliver gel directly into the jejunum which poses new challenges for neuroscience nurses for the care and management of patients with PD. Due to the reported number of complications associated with PEG/J our facility opted to use a direct jejunostomy tube for the first of two PD patients which resulted in an adverse outcome for our 80 year old patient. This experience highlighted that the neuroscience nurses need to increase knowledge and understanding of PEG/J and jejunostomy care as more future patients will be treated with Duodopa, and that future studies regarding the safety and value of the direct jejunostomy tubes are warranted.
Both Sides of the Counter
Authors: Smith Gilly 
Published: February 2018

Abstract

Background
The Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association of Western Australia provides information, education and advocacy for people living with MND. The role and function of the personnel who provide this service has not been described in the literature and is therefore poorly understood by both healthcare professionals and the public.

Purpose
To describe the role and function of the West Australian Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA [WA]) Care Advisors (CAs).

Method
Ethnographic observation of seven MNDA (WA) CAs in their normal daily setting. Interviews with end users of CA service (people living with MND and their carers). Analysis of the observations and interview transcripts was undertaken to identify themes.

Findings
The CAs were observed to undertake their supportive role with passion. Clarity around the role and function was ambiguous, even amongst the people in the roles. It is suggested this is due to limited formalised processes and procedures in an organisation that has moved from originally being run by volunteers through to a professional not-for-profit organisation. This in turn led to issues in recruitment and retention, clinical knowledge versus clinical care and demonstrating capabilities against Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for reporting to funding bodies.

Conclusion
Multiple opportunities were highlighted during this study for these service providers to develop robust procedures to record the nature of their work, develop resilience in their work place, and ensure ongoing professional develop processes are engaged.
