Anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors for control of additive manufacturing machines
Authors: Hampel Benedikt , Tollkühn Marco , Schilling Meinhard 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Magnetic sensors are employed for dimensional measurements by detection of sensor motion relative to a small magnet. This is widely used everywhere in industrial automation, car industry and in many home appliances. The use of magnetic sensors in machines for additive manufacturing improves control and long term reliability by non contact position measurements. Magnetic sensors with linearized characteristic based on the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) effect can replace mechanical switches, while specialized AMR angle sensors are preferred for the measurement of rotational motions. Both are easy to use and can be integrated with help of 3D printed holders at low cost. In this work, appropriate sensors are selected, integrated and discussed regarding magnetic disturbance signals apparent in low-cost 3D printers.

Abstract
Michaelides, MA, Parpa, KM, and Zacharia, AI. Effects of an 8-week pre-seasonal training on the aerobic fitness of professional soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 35(10): 2783–2789, 2021—Pre-season in soccer training develops the physical requisites for competition and usually consists of a high volume of aerobic and anaerobic conditioning training including friendly games. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of pre-season training on the aerobic fitness of professional soccer players. Nineteen professional male soccer players (age = 27.37 ± 3.67 years, height = 179.61 ± 5.17 cm, and body fat percentage = 11.3 ± 3.19%) participated in this study performed an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a treadmill before and after the 8 weeks of pre-season preparation. The results were analyzed using paired t tests, revealing significant differences on several indices. The subjects improved significantly on maximal aerobic capacity (V̇o
2max) and lasted significantly longer on the treadmill (p < 0.05). The V̇o
2 at ventilatory threshold (VT) and respiratory compensation point (RCP) increased significantly (p < 0.05). The running velocity at ventilatory thresholds (vVT and vRCP) and at V̇o
2 max (vVo
2max) also increased significantly (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study, as expected, demonstrated that the proposed 8 weeks of pre-season training program was sufficient to cause significant improvements on the aerobic performance indices of professional soccer players. The study confirms the beneficial changes in the process of adaptations that occur with this type of training and can assist coaches and trainers in planning a successful pre-season training program.

Abstract
Mornieux, G, Weltin, E, Friedman, C, Pauls, M, Forsythe, S, and Gollhofer, A. Influence of a functional core stability program on trunk and knee joint biomechanics in female athletes during lateral movements. J Strength Cond Res 35(10): 2713–2719, 2021—Trunk positioning has been shown to be associated with knee joint loading during athletic tasks, especially changes of direction. Quasistatic and conventional core stability (CS) training did not improve the biomechanics of cutting maneuvers according to reports in the literature. The purpose of this study was to test whether a 5-week dynamic and functional CS training program would improve trunk positioning and knee joint control during lateral movements. Nineteen female athletes participated in a longitudinal study, where lateral reactive jumps (LRJs) and unanticipated cuttings were performed before and after CS training (15 training sessions within 5 weeks) while 3D kinematics and kinetics were measured. In addition, core endurance and power were evaluated. Core stability training increased trunk rotation in the new movement direction (p = 0.02) during LRJ. However, lateral trunk lean was significantly increased during LRJ (from 5.6 to 7°) and cuttings (from 3.8 to 5.8°) after CS training. Knee joint abduction moment was not influenced. Finally, core endurance (p < 0.01) and core power (p < 0.001) were significantly improved after CS training. A 5-week dynamic and functional CS training program improved core muscle endurance and power. This might explain the better trunk rotation toward the new movement direction during LRJ; however, it was not effective during unanticipated cuttings. The practical application of this research will allow strength and conditioning professionals to setup training programs with simple and relevant exercises to increase the core endurance and power of trained individuals.

Abstract
Spiering, BA, Walker, LA, Larcom, K, Frykman, PN, Allison, SC, and Sharp, MA. Predicting soldier task performance from physical fitness tests: reliability and construct validity of a soldier task test battery. J Strength Cond Res 35(10): 2749–2755, 2021—The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and construct validity of a battery of tests designed to assess soldier task performance. In the first part of the study (designed to assess test-retest reliability), 33 enlisted soldiers (31 men, 2 women; 23 ± 3 years; 1.75 ± 0.08 m; and 81.4 ± 12.8 kg) completed a 4-event “soldier task test battery” (STTB) on 4 occasions, each separated by at least 1 week. The STTB consisted of the following tests, in order: (a) 30-m grenade throw for accuracy; (b) running long jump while wearing a 20.5-kg load; (c) 1 repetition maximum box lift; and (d) 3.2-km load carriage time trial while wearing a 33-kg load. In the second part of the study (designed to assess construct validity), 41 male soldiers (22 ± 3 years; 1.75 ± 0.08 m; and 81.4 ± 12.9 kg) completed the STTB and a series of physical fitness tests. The physical fitness tests included measurements of body composition, muscular strength, muscular power, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular endurance. Overall performance on the STTB (reflected by the sum of z-scores across individual tests) demonstrated an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.95 and was correlated to lean mass, V˙o
2peak, and measures of muscular strength and power. Lean body mass and standing long jump predicted performance on the STTB (R
2 = 0.41). In conclusion, this STTB can reliably assess performance of soldiering tasks. The relationships between the STTB and physical fitness tests can be used to develop training programs to prepare soldiers to perform physically demanding tasks.

Abstract
Hauer, R, Tessitore, A, Hauer, K, and Tschan, H. Activity profile of international female lacrosse players. J Strength Cond Res 35(11): 3207–3212, 2021—This study was designed to investigate the activity profile in international women's lacrosse match-play. Data were collected of 10 female Austrian lacrosse national team players (29.1 ± 6.1 years; 64.2 ± 5.0 kg; and 165.3 ± 4.1 cm) during 4 games of an international tournament using global positioning system and heart rate monitor devices. The mean average heart rate was 75.3 ± 5.0% of maximum heart rate (HRmax) with 23 ± 6.1% of total playing time spent in HRzone 4 (80–90% of HRmax). The mean distance covered during match-play was 3,791.6 ± 554.5 m, of which 38 ± 6.5% were performed in speed zone 1 (<7.0 km·h−1). Ten ±4 sprints per game were conducted with 55 ± 3.8% of accelerations and 59 ± 3.1% of decelerations in zone 1, respectively. Defenders showed greater total distance covered compared with other positions (attack: p = 0.035; d = 0.87; confidence interval [CI] = 0.18–1.56 and midfield: p = 0.006; d = 1.66; CI = 0.93–2.40). Midfielders covered less distance in speed zone 1 (p = 0.032; d = 1.91; CI = 0.53–3.28) compared with attackers, and lower numbers of accelerations (p = 0.042; d = 0.96; CI = 0.20–1.72) and decelerations (p = 0.021; d = 1.79; CI = 0.61–2.97) in zone 3 compared with defenders. Furthermore, attackers showed less distance covered in speed zone 1 (p = 0.09; d = 1.62; CI = 0.86–2.38) compared with defenders. The provided activity data could help coaches and practitioners in designing competition-specific programs for athletes. In addition, positional differences should be taken into account for tactical and physiological aspects.

Abstract
Friesen, KB, Barfield, JW, Murrah, WM, Dugas, JR, Andrews, JR, and Oliver, GD. The association of upper-body kinematics and earned run average of national collegiate athletic association Division I softball pitchers. J Strength Cond Res 35(11): 3145–3150, 2021—Although recent literature has increased examination of the association of injury and biomechanics, there remains a lack of evidence supporting optimal windmill pitch mechanics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate trunk and pitching arm kinematics and their association with performance outcome: earned run average (ERA), in collegiate softball pitchers. Twenty-three NCAA Division I collegiate softball pitchers (20.14 ± 1.07 years; 173.93 ± 6.68 cm; and 85.79 ± 11.06 kg) performed 3 maximal effort rise ball pitches to a catcher located at a distance of 43 ft. (13.11 m). Kinematic data of the trunk and pitching arm were collected using an electromagnetic tracking system. A multiple regression analysis was performed at each pitch event: top of backswing, foot contact, ball release, and follow-through. The multiple regression at foot contact showed an overall statistically significant regression equation (F
6, 16 = 3.7, p = 0.017) and explained approximately 42% of the variance in ERA (R = 0.579, Adj. R
2 = 0.421). Results revealed that those pitchers who had greater trunk (SE = 0.018, t = −2.5, p = 0.023) and elbow flexion (SE = 0.006, t = −4.2, p = 0.001) at the event of foot contact had lower ERAs. This study supported previous research on the importance of trunk and elbow angle at front foot contact on rise ball pitch performance. These key technique points and the importance of elbow flexors should be explored in future research and potentially visually attended to by coaches and strength professionals.

Authors: Rahmi Awliya 
Published: July 2019

This study focuses on examining the passive construction in Pulau Rengas language. The data of this study is the passive construction in sentences uttered by Pulau Rengas natives. The data were collected by doing deep interview and recording techniques. The data were then analyzed by applying the syntax theories focusing on Maggie and Tallerman’s. The result of this research shows that passive construction in this language is related to the phonological characteristic of the language itself. Pulau Rengas language is a diphthongal language. This characteristic affects the process of passive construction in this language. While most of language marks the passive verbs morphologically, Pulau Rengas language marks the passive verbs by omitting the prefix of the active verbs. In certain verbs, the passive forms are also marked phonologically depending on the first sound of the verb.

Published: July 2019

This paper discusses the phenomenon of tadhad in Arabic. Tadhad is a lingual phenomenon that is unique in Arabic and has not been found in other languages. It is a word that has two conflicting meanings. In the dialectic of thought, scholars differed on the existence of tadhad in Arabic. Some of them agree and others deny it. Both parties expressed their arguments with the various arguments they used. Among the factors of the emergence of Al-Tadhad are as follows: (1) The origin of a sentence is used in the opposite general meaning; (2) Tadhad arises because of the social factors found in the Arabs. Among these factors are tafaa'ul (wishing good) and tahakkum (mocking); (3) Harmony between two words in one shighat sharfiyah (a form of changing words); (4) Differences in the ranks of the Arab tribes in using a sentence (5) Language development. Examples of the application of tadhad in Arabic can be found in various verses in the Qur'an.

Reading is one of language skills that should be acquired by the students who learn English course in junior high school level. In learning a foreign language, students face many problems, especially in comprehending reading text. In reading process, the students have to understand the meaning of the text through their learning styles and combining their background knowledge, experiences, and situation with the information which is stated on the text. This article was to investigate the empirical evidence on the effect of Reciprocal Teaching Technique (RTT) Technique and learning styles on Students’ Reading Comprehension. The research was quantitative method and applied quasi-experimental design. Sample of the research were chosen though simple random sampling technique. Data collecting technique of this research were pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed by two-ways ANOVA. The findings of the recent study are: (1) there was an effect between teaching method and students’ learning styles on students’ reading comprehension, and (2) there were differences effect of students’ reading comprehension between students who own visual learning style in RTT group and those who own auditory learning style in class. It can be summed up that teaching through applying RRT technique which being supported by learning styles (visual and auditory) are to develop the students’ reading comprehension.
SİNEMA FİLMLERİNDE ESTETİK ÖZNEYİ YABANCILAŞMAYA YABANCILAŞTIRMAK: NIGHT CRAWLER FİLMİNDE YABANCILAŞTIRMA ETKİSİ
Authors: ULUTAŞ Selçuk 
Published: July 2019

Yabancılaşma;
felsefe, sosyoloji ve psikolojinin kullandığı anahtar kavramlardan birisidir. Bu
kavramın sanat alanında estetik öznenin sanat eserine katılımını kontrol etmek
için yabancılaştırma etkisi (Verfremdung) kavramına
dönüştüğü bilinmektedir. Sanatçılar ‘özdeşleşme’ olarak tanımlanan estetik
katılımın yarattığı etkinin tam tersini yabancılaştırma ile yaratmak ve estetik
özneye bir fenomenle ilgili kuvvet uygulamak istemektedirler. Sinemada ise bir
fenomene izleyicinin yabancılaştırılması için anlatıların, öykü ve
söylemlerinin, buna göre tasarlandığı gözlemlenmektedir. Eserin tasarım
aşamasında yabancılaştırma etkisi ile ilgili bilinen pek çok stratejiden söz
etmek mümkündür. Ancak bilinen ve özellikle biçimsel olarak ortaya koyulan
stratejiler dışında da sinemada yönetmenlerin yabancılaştırma etkisi
geliştirmek adına yeni stratejiler üretmeleri için potansiyel olarak sınırsız
olanağı bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma yabancılaşmanın olumsuz kabul edilen
etkilerine karşı estetik öznenin yabancılaştırılmasını amaçlayan ‘Night Crawler’
isimli sinema filmini incelemektedir. Çalışmanın
amacı sinemada da sıkça karşılaşılan estetik özdeşleşmenin dışında
yabancılaştırma kuramı ile ilgili bilinen temel biçimsel unsurların ötesinde
yeni yabancılaştırma stratejilerinin özellikle salt biçemin dışında oluşturulup
oluşturulamayacağının ortaya konulmasıdır. Bu nedenle ele alınan ‘Night Crawler’
isimli film kendi ontolojik bağlamında karakter yaratımı, eylemler ve olaylar
çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu inceleme sonucunda filmin biçimsel unsurların
dışında tinsel bir varlık olarak yabancılaştırma etkisi ürettiği ortaya
konulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma ‘Night Crawler’ isimli filmi ontolojik
analiz yöntemi ile incelemektedir.

This study aims to look from
the Soviet Union’s perspective to the attempts
of western capitalist states intending to maintain their domains in the period,
in which the Suez Crisis and the Eisenhower doctrine dominated the region; to
reveal how the Soviet Union assessed the developments and to clarify its
position. The
Soviet Union responded to the West with an anti-imperialist policy. In this context, this policy of the Soviet
Union against the interventionist policies of the western
capitalist states in the Middle East defending the independence and sovereignty of states in
the region constitutes the main research
problem of this study.
