Published: April 2019

Abstract

Objectives: To establish the physical condition of “Aurel Vlaicu” Arad University' students, in relation with declared weekly physical activity, assuming that there are statistically significant differences between BMI, recreational physical activities and performances of the monitored samples according to physical condition standards data.

Subjects. A number of 1169 students were evaluated, male (n=539), female (n=630), with gender median age: male 22.55y ± 5.59y, female 21.61y ± 4.87y.

Methods: Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, BMI) were measured. Also, the following tests were performed: running speed (S), standing long jump (LJ), pushup (P), trunk lift (TL), Home Step Test (HST); and questionnaire DWPA (declared weekly physical activities). The data was processed with SPSS 14.0 for Windows and MedCalc.

Results: By associating the declared weekly exercise with cardiovascular capacity, we found that although there is a positive correlation, for the results of the HST and the frequency of the declared weekly exercise this correlation is insignificant.

Conclusions: Those who tend to exercise for more than twice a week have small cardiovascular endurance and low level motor skills. This suggests that exercise intensity is inadequate and does not lead to morphological and functional adaptive changes in the cardiopulmonary system, nor do they improve the students’ motor skills. The absence of proper physical condition, in addition to the mostly sedentary nature of future graduates’, jobs increases the risk of occurrence of diseases associated with physical inactivity.

Authors: Abălașei Beatrice , Iacob Radu , Puni Rareș 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Sports values are those through which the human being attempts to develop under the rules, decisions, regulations, laws drafted by national or international organizations and accepted by each athlete.
In the physical education lesson, when one or more values are appropriated, becoming convictions, they particularly structure the student's behavior, child's behavior and constitute an authentic leader of the actions and the way they are. Athletic activity is the only way to systematically and continuously develop sporting values and the desire to compete induced in the physical education lesson where students receive a knowledge system that forms a true theory of competition - all in the spirit of friendship, knowledge and mutual respect based on human being dignity.
The aim of our approach is to educate children with universal values, Olympic values, and create a selfless, proactive, collaborative behavior that removes hierarchy.
At the basis of education in the spirit of universal values will be sports games with modified rules.
At the basis of the study, the survey method was based on a questionnaire and the analysis combined the qualitative and the quantitative interpretation.
The results of the study point to the need to educate children through the means of action specific to physical education and sport, implicit of universal ones.
Physical Education - Active Support of the Stage Movement (The Training of the Bodily Expression)
Authors: Leșe Ana-Cristina 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The teaching discipline entitled the Training of the body expression sums those activities that imply the body and which come in varied forms, both as motor structures and as functional features. In the following, we will try to bring arguments in support of the idea that body education (Physical Education) should be the starting point for the Stage Movement (The training of the body expression), first of all, but also for other disciplines of movement, included in the Actor’s Art curriculum (pantomime, fencing, dance).

Published: April 2019

Abstract
The aim of the research was to develop a methodology for the development of resistance motric quality, using dynamic games, these means of education being specific to the children enrolled at primary school level in the 2nd class.
In this work we intended to emphasize that if we will conduct, for 10 weeks, one weekly physical education and sports lesson with pupils aged between 8 and 10, a lesson in addition to the two activities provided in the curriculum, in which to use dynamic games that aim at increasing the effort capacity, we will achieve an improvement in motor capacity, with emphasis on motor strength.
The research was carried out in several stages: a first stage in which the bibliographic study of the specialized literature was carried out, a stage in which the initial evaluation was carried out, a stage of application of the stimulus program with specific means, a final evaluation stage of the subjects and a stage of processing the collected data and formulating the conclusions. The sample of the survey was made up of 30 pupils at the level of primary education in the 2nd grade, aged between 8 and 10 years. The 30 pupils were divided into two distinct groups in terms of gender, consisting of 15 boys and 15 girls. In the research were used four resistance evaluating tests.
The stimulus program consisted of a weekly physical education lesson for 10 weeks, lessons in which pupils played 20 games. Comparing the values recorded by the pupils in the initial assessment with the values recorded in the final assessment, it was concluded that all pupils had better values in the tests that concerned the motor quality of the resistance.
Contribution of harmonious physical development exercises to increase bio-motor process at preschool children

Abstract

Introduction A child turns into a well-defined personality after a long educational process based on a curriculum, a process that is the first step on a learning path. The kindergarten, as Florinda Golu states, is “the first institution that ensures an intense learning process through a methodic activity framed in a play, effort, and interrelation regimen. This leads to acquisitions and progress in the cognitive, affective and psychomotor fields of a pre-school child”.

The aim of this paper is to amend the instructive and educational process at pre-school level by developing the psychomotor activities/physical education (PE) lessons through using the physical exercises as a main resort for a harmonious physical development.

Materials and methods The experiment took place at the P.P. no.9 Kindergarten during the 2015-2016 school year, and included 30 children from the upper preschool group, 17 girls and 13 boys, aged 5-6. The test used included the following: somatic evaluation and motricity evaluation.

Conclusion After applying the motricity evaluation content proposed in the paper, and after the initial and final testing (five motricity tests), we were able to see an amendment in the indices we tested for, and through direct observation we detected a “self-overcoming” will power in the children. These aspects validate the proposed hypothesis. The progress was materialized in: number of repetitions, centimeters, and number of points scored – they further strengthened our determination that balanced physical development exercises at this age (5-6) have a positive influence on the correct posture of children, that they make up the basis of general movement, and that they enhance the values of motricity indexes.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Growth and development are processes characterizing in the early years of a person. There are some differences in the evolution of these two processes dependent on the sex of the person and the family of origin. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 81 students of 5th class coming from two villages in Botosani County. It was assessed physical development (using national reference values) and motor skills (number of elements) from scoring scales. The study was conducted on two different communities and sex. Processing of the results was performed using Pearson Test. Results and Discussion: height dominant values are average (49.38%), calculated on communities and sex differences were not statistically significant. Weight most frequently average (49.38%), not statistically significant differences calculated. Diagnosis of physical development highlights the existence of harmony in 54.32% cases. The maximum vote on pushups appears only in 17.28% cases. Differences calculated on sex are statistically significant at p <0.01 (fl = 3, χ2 = 8.001) and indicate that there are quicker progress of female students in which puberty occurs earlier and is accompanied by better motor skills. Conclusions: In interpreting the results of students in sports trials should consider a number of factors and not just one.
Study on the Libero’s Game Patterns in Serve Take-Over in Junior Volleyball Teams II
Authors: Puni Alexandru-Rareş , Dumitru Iulian 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
In our present paper we will try to illustrate, for the benefit of those directly involved such as players, teachers and game leaders - some aspects that, by defining new game and training concepts dedicated to juniors II, could prove essential to the progress and present development of volleyball.
Based on existing facts, we consider that our present research is necessary and modern at the same time, because of the evolution of volleyball as a sport, and due to the belief that our hypothesis has both theoretical value with consistent chances of generalization, and practical value with immediate applicability, too. Another argument would be the fact that finding adequate solutions for increasing defence efficiency could also lead to great results, since a proper defence strategy has, in most cases, a decisive influence upon the results at the end of the game.
Our present endeavour falls into the categories of volleyball theory and method, and we pledge to bring our modest contribution to the development of theoretical material useful to volleyball specialists, that could also help reinventing this particular sport discipline in our country.
Quodammodo transfiguratum est in animum: Erasmus’ doctrine of the resurrection of the body and its Origenian roots
Authors: Fallica Maria 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The paper addresses Erasmus’ doctrine of the resurrection of the body in relationship with its Origenian inheritance, its polemical context and the general hermeneutical attitude of Erasmus. The mind-body dualism and the Platonism of Erasmus’ doctrine are better understood in relation to Origen’s Pauline doctrine of the resurrected body. A passage particularly revealing of this Origenian reception, in a mystical direction, is the conclusion of Erasmus’ masterpiece, the Praise of Folly. Through this text, the paper aims to clarify Erasmus’ concept of resurrection as transfiguration, from the letter to the spirit.
“It is right to keep the secret of a king” (Tobit 12:7)—the King’s secret as a metaphor for the mysterium Dei in Origen
Authors: Tilling Fabian 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The Mυστήριον raises interest through the tension between revealing and concealing. This is observable in the pagan myths as well as in biblical texts and in the works of theologians of the Alexandrine tradition. Paradigmatically Tobit 12:7 contains both elements—concealing and revealing: “It is right to keep the secret of a king, yet right to reveal and publish the works of God as they deserve” (Tob 12:7). Origen of Alexandria cites this verse in the context of his Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans and his apology Against Celsus. In spite of its bipolarity he focusses mainly on the first part of the verse as an argument for concealing the mystery from the less advanced readers. Concealing as well as revealing is part of a divine pedagogy, in Origen, however, always for the sake of human beings.
Being as Motion The First Principles of Origen’s Ontology of Freedom
Authors: Hengstermann Christian 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Origen proposes a new metaphysics of motion which, based on Plato’s “greatest kinds” from the Sophist, views God as both contemplative rest and active motion. As goodness itself, God cannot but create moral beings endowed with self-motion themselves. It is up to them to embrace or reject his gift of self-diffusive goodness. Once they fall way from him, God orders their agency in such a fashion as will eventually bring about the restitution of all things. Being as being is, thus, shown to be active motion.

± SD; age = 20 ± 1.5 years) on an NCAA Division I baseball team volunteered to participate in this study. Each participant performed a total of 16 CMJs on a force platform while holding a wooden dowel on their shoulders to eliminate arm swing. Force and power parameters such as jump height (JH), peak velocity (PV), and mean concentric velocity (MCV) were calculated from force-time and position data. Paired-sample t-tests and Cohen's d effect sizes were used to examine differences between conditions. When subjects were instructed using an external focus, they demonstrated significantly (p < 0.05) greater JH, PV, and MCV compared with jumps performed with the internal focus (external JH = 48.0 ± 5.6 cm, internal JH = 46.4 ± 5.4 cm; external PV = 3.6 ± 0.3 m·s−1, internal PV = 3.5 ± 0.3 m·s−1; and external MCV = 2.31 ± 0.22 m·s−1, internal MCV = 2.25 ± 0.23 m·s−1). It is interesting to note that there was superior recall of the internal instructions during the manipulation checks that may suggest that the subjects consciously processed these instructions to a greater extent and reduced internal condition performance. These results indicate that instructions can alter the efficiency and performance of a skill. According to the literature and this study, if an optimum performance metric is desired, external focus of attention instructions should be used.

Authors: Platts David G. , Shiino Kenji , Chan Jonathan , Burstow Darryl J. , Scalia Gregory M. , Fraser John F. 
Published: April 2019

AbstractBackground:Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays a fundamental role in the management of patients supported with extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In light of fluctuating clinical states, serial monitoring of cardiac function is required. Formal quantification of ventricular parameters and myocardial mechanics offer benefit over qualitative assessment. The aim of this research was to compare unenhanced (UE) versus contrast-enhanced (CE) quantification of myocardial function and mechanics during ECMO in a validated ovine model.Methods:Twenty-four sheep were commenced on peripheral veno-venous ECMO. Acute smoke-induced lung injury was induced in 21 sheep (3 controls). CE-TTE with Definity using Cadence Pulse Sequencing was performed. Two readers performed image analysis with TomTec Arena. End diastolic area (EDA, cm2), end systolic area (ESA, cm2), fractional area change (FAC, %), endocardial global circumferential strain (EGCS, %), myocardial global circumferential strain (MGCS, %), endocardial rotation (ER, degrees) and global radial strain (GRD, %) were evaluated for UE-TTE and CE-TTE.Results:Full data sets are available in 22 sheep (92%). Mean CE EDA and ESA were significantly larger than in unenhanced images. Mean FAC was almost identical between the two techniques. There was no significant difference between UE and CE EGCS, MGCS and ER. There was significant difference in GRS between imaging techniques. Unenhanced inter-observer variability was from 0.48–0.70 but significantly improved to 0.71–0.89 for contrast imaging in all echocardiographic parameters.Conclusion:Semi-automated methods of myocardial function and mechanics using CE-TTE during ECMO was feasible and similar to UE-TTE for all parameters except ventricular areas and global radial strain. Addition of contrast significantly decreased inter-observer variability of all measurements.

Published: April 2019

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis aktor dan relasi kekuasaan yang terjadi dalam pengelolaan sumber daya laut Palabuhanratu. Lokasi penelitian di Perairan Laut Palabuhanratu, Sukabumi, Jawa Barat. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua aktor membangun kekuasaan melalui mekanisme akses berbasis hak dan mekanismes akses berbasis struktur dan relasi sosial dengan basis kekuasaan modal, pasar, teknologi, pengetahuan, identitas sosial, otoritas, dan patron klien. Kelompok nelayan lokal, nelayan dari luar (nelayan Banten) dan nelayan pendatang etnis Jawa berupaya mempertahankan akses, sementara kelompok nelayan etnis Bugis berupaya mengontrol akses terhadap sumber daya laut. Perbedaan posisi antar kelompok nelayan menyebabkan terjadinya relasi kekuasaan antar kelompok nelayan dalam memperoleh sumber daya laut Palabuhanratu. Sementara aktivitas pihak pengelola PLTU dianggap membatasi kekuasaan kelompok nelayan melalui penggunaan wilayah pesisir dan penggunaan jalur transportasi laut. Keterbatasan akses kelompok nelayan menyebabkan terjadinya relasi kuasa antara nelayan dengan pengelola PLTU. Title: Group of Interest and Relation Power in The Utilization of Marine Resources PalabuhanratuThe purpose of this study is to analyze the actors and power relations occured in the management of Palabuhanratu marine resources. Research was located in Palabuhanratu Sea Waters, Sukabumi, West Java. Research used qualitative methods. Results of the study showed that all actors built power through right-based access mechanisms and mechanisms based on structure and social relations with a basis of power of capital, markets, technology, knowledge, social identity, authority, and patron clients. Local fishing groups, outside fishers (Banten fishers) and Javanese ethnic fishers tried to maintain access, while Bugis ethnic fishers groups tried to control access to marine resources. Differences in position between fishers groups led to power relations among the groups in obtaining Palabuhanratu marine resources. While the activities of the management of the Steam Power Plant (PLTU) were considered to limit the power of fishers groups through the use of coastal areas and sea transportation routes. Limited access of fishers groups led to power relations between fishers and managers of Steam Power Plants (PLTU).
TINGKAT PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT DALAM PROGRAM PENYELAMATAN DAN PENGELOLAAN LINGKUNGAN BERKELANJUTAN DANAU MANINJAU

Published: April 2019

Kerusakan dan pencemaran yang terjadi di Danau Maninjau telah mengakibatkan kerugian ekonomi dan sosial. Banyak upaya yang telah dilakukan pemerintah untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dalam program penyelamatan dan pengelolaan lingkungan berkelanjutan Danau Maninjau. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode survei. Tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dianalisis pada tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan monitoring evaluasi program dengan menggunakan Tipologi Arnstein. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat partisipasi masyarakat pada tahap perencanaan program termasuk pada tingkat informing, sementara pada tahap pelaksanaan termasuk tingkat consultation sedangkan pada tahap monitoring dan evaluasi hanya mencapai tingkat therapy. Permasalahan dalam pengelolaan lingkungan berkelanjutan Danau Maninjau antara lain disebabkan oleh keterbatasan lahan untuk berusaha, tingkat pendidikan yang relatif rendah dan keterbatasan lapangan pekerjaan, ketergantungan ekonomi yang tinggi terhadap keramba, kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan lingkungan berkelanjutan, kurangnya komitmen masyarakat dalam menjaga kelestarian danau, kurangnya koordinasi antar pemerintah serta belum adanya komitmen dan ketegasan pemerintah untuk menjalankan peraturan yang telah ditetapkan. Title; Community Participation Level InThe Sustainable Management and Conservation Program of Maninjau Lake Damage and pollution in Lake Maninjau has resulted in economic and social losses. Government has made many efforts to overcome these problems. This study aims to review the community participation level in the restoration and management of sustainable environmental conservation program of Lake Maninjau. This is a descriptive qualitative research with survey method. Level of community participation was analyzed in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the program using Arnstein’s Typology. The results showed that community participation level at the planning phase is in informing level, while during application phase is in consultation level, and finally, during monitoring and evaluation phase is in therapy level. Problems in sustainable management of Lake Maninjau are caused by limited land for business, low level of education and limited employment, high level of economic dependence on “keramba”, lack of community knowledge on sustainable environmental management, lack of community commitment in preserving lakes, lack of inter-governmental coordination and lack of commitment and firmness from the government to enforce the established rules.
