Published: March 2018

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and core strength exercises on forced vital capacity in sedentary women. A total of 40 healthy sedentary women (20 in an aerobic-step group and 20 in a core strength exercise group) with a mean age of 34.4±2.4 years participated voluntarily in this study. Two different exercises were applied to the women for 12 weeks, 4 days a week, at the intensity of 70% for 60 minutes. The women's resting heart rate (RHR), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced air volume in the first second of forced expiration (FEV1) were measured before and after exercise. For statistical analysis, the Paired Samples-t test was used for intra-group evaluations, and the Independent Samples-t test was used for inter-group evaluations. After the exercise program, significant increases were found in the VO2max, FVC, and FEV1 values, while both groups experienced a decreased RHR (p<0.01). Since the aerobic and forced vital capacities of the sedentary women show a parallel increase as a result of the applied 12-week aerobic and core strength exercises, it can be said that the RHR, VO2maxmax, FEV, and FEV1 respiratory parameters also improved in a positive manner. For this reason, it may be advisable to apply both exercise types for the development of the aerobic and vital capacities of sedentary women.
3. Similarities Across the Centuries: A Comparison Between Two Vocal Works by Barbara Strozzi and Peter Maxwell Davies
Authors: Marisi Rossella 
Published: March 2018

AbstractMusical creativity may be expressed by composers in diverse ways: sometimes they compose fully original works, which are characterized by specific features making them unique. Other times, musicians may feel a particular affinity with colleagues who lived centuries before, or identify peculiar resemblances between the time they live in, and a previous epoch, such as similar cultural climate and approach to life: in these cases, composers may author pieces which show surprising similarities with those of some predecessors. The present study compares a work of the seventeenth century, composed by Barbara Strozzi, and one composed in the 1960s by Peter Maxwell Davies, highlighting their similarities.
6. The Interdisciplinary Dimension of the Vocalchoral Culture of the Pupil in the Music School
Authors: Glebov Ana 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Process in the context of the vocal-choral culture of the students of the music school. The concept of interdisciplinary is considered as a symbiosis of two or more academic disciplines in the formation of the vocal-choral culture of pupils in the musical-artistic field. In this case, interdisciplinary occurs in integrating the knowledge, capabilities and aptitudes formed, taking into account significant specific factors. Thus, the interdisciplinary approach is carried out through such disciplines as solfeggio, history of music, instrument, ensemble, but also the integration into the vocal-choral of the method of interiorizing the music through the philosophical, musical and psycho-pedagogical aspects.

This study assessed phytochemical constituents of Pecralima nitida seed extract and its effect on liver enzymes activities of male albino rats fed Pecralima nitida seed supplemented diet. A total of twenty male albino rats were used for this study and were randomly divided into four groups of five rats each. Group I was fed with normal rat feed and water, group II was fed with 50% pecralima nitida seed and 50% normal rat feed, group III was fed with 70% pecralima nitida seed and 30% normal rat feed while group IV was fed with 90% sample and 10% normal rat feed for a period of twenty eight days. The preliminary phytochemical profile showed the presence of flavoniod, saponin, tainins, glycoside, alkaloid, phenol and steroid. These bioactive compounds may contribute to the reputed medicinal efficacy of pecralima nitida seed. Liver enzymes activities such as AST showed no significant difference between the control (24.39 ± 3.6IU/L) and group II (25.88 ± 3.7IU/L) but significantly increased in group III (37.38 ± 7.2IU/L) and group IV (42.19±2.1IU/L). The other enzymes ALT and ALP showed significant statistical increase in groups II-IV (P<0.05). The histological evaluation shows that group III and IV had evidence of degenerative tissues induced by 70% sample and 30% normal rat feed and 90% and 10% normal rat feed. This however showed and suggested that irrespective of the reputed medicinal relevance of pecralima nitida seed, care should be taken in the quantity of these extract that is consumed as this may exhibit cumulative toxicity leading to functional impairment in the integrity of the liver.

Published: March 2018

Study Design Literature review with meta-analysis. Background The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), a classification-based system, was designed to classify patients into homogeneous subgroups to direct treatment. Objectives To examine the effectiveness of MDT for improving pain and disability in patients with either acute (less than 12 weeks in duration) or chronic (greater than 12 weeks in duration) low back pain (LBP). Methods Randomized controlled trials examining MDT in patients with LBP were identified from 6 databases. Independent investigators assessed the studies for exclusion, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. The standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval were calculated to compare the effects of MDT to those of other interventions in patients with acute or chronic LBP. Results Of the 17 studies that met the inclusion criteria, 11 yielded valid data for analysis. In patients with acute LBP, there was no significant difference in pain resolution (P = .11) and disability (P = .61) between MDT and other interventions. In patients with chronic LBP, there was a significant difference in disability (SMD, −0.45), with results favoring MDT compared to exercise alone. There were no significant differences between MDT and manual therapy plus exercise (P>.05) for pain and disability outcomes. Conclusion There is moderate- to high-quality evidence that MDT is not superior to other rehabilitation interventions for reducing pain and disability in patients with acute LBP. In patients with chronic LBP, there is moderate- to high-quality evidence that MDT is superior to other rehabilitation interventions for reducing pain and disability; however, this depends on the type of intervention being compared to MDT.

Published: March 2018

Background The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale measures confidence in performing various ambulatory activities without falling or experiencing a sense of unsteadiness. Objectives This study (1) examined the ABC scale (0–100) using Rasch analysis, (2) assessed statistically reliable change, and (3) developed a functional staging to guide clinical interpretation of a patient's improvement. Methods The authors examined rating-scale structure, item difficulty hierarchy, item fit, person-item match, separation index, differential item functioning, test precision, and unidimensionality. Additionally, this cross-sectional study of 5012 older patients seeking outpatient rehabilitation therapy in 123 clinics estimated the minimal detectable change and developed a functional staging. Results The item “walk outside on icy sidewalks” was the most difficult item, while the item “reach for a small can off a shelf at eye level” was the easiest item. Overall, average patient ability estimates of 56.2 ± 20.3 were slightly higher than the average item difficulty estimates of 45.9 ± 7.8. With a separation index equal to 3.65, the ABC scale items can differentiate individuals into 5.2 statistically distinct strata. Most ABC scale items were free of differential item functioning. For example, “walk outside on icy sidewalks” was easier for patients who were underweight. Results supported unidimensionality of the ABC scale, with the first factor explaining 77% of the total variance. The estimated minimal detectable change was 15 points. The authors provided an example of functional staging application. Conclusion Results supported sound psychometric properties and clinical usage of the ABC scale for older adults seeking outpatient rehabilitation therapy.

Authors: Silberstein Miriam 
Published: March 2018

El propósito del estudio ha sido determinar si los estilos de paternidad se relacionan con la conducta violenta de jóvenes de la Educación Media, describiendo actitudes violentas de padres y estudiantes, caracterizando los estilos que generan violencia y determinando la percepción que jóvenes y docentes tienen acerca de la violencia familiar, identificando hábitos que incrementan la violencia. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de instrumentos construidos teniendo en cuenta la matriz de operacionalización de las variables del problema. La aplicación a la población de alumnos con muestra representativa intencionalmente seleccionada, se realizó en octubre de 2010 en cuatro colegios de gestión privada de Asunción. Entre los resultados se encontraron coincidencias en los tipos de agresión verbal y física empleados por los jóvenes. Se concluyó que tanto los padres como los hijos utilizan actitudes violentas físicas y verbales; se identificaron los estilos autoritario y permisivo como generadores de conductas violentas; la percepción de los jóvenes y de los docentes es que existe violencia intrafamiliar y los hábitos que favorecen dichas conductas se traducen en frecuentar entornos inadecuados y el consumo de drogas. Resulta propicio el estilo autoritario y el estilo permisivo para fomentar conductas violentas en los jóvenes.

Döviz kurlarının hisse
senedi piyasalarındaki oynaklığa etkisini araştıran bu çalışma, Ocak 2000 - Aralık 2016 yılları arasında 22 ülkenin para
birimlerinin ABD Dolarına karşı değerleri ve hisse senedi endekslerinin aylık
verileri kullanılarak sabit ve rasgele etki modellerinin test edilmesiyle
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sabit etki modeli endeksler ile döviz kurları arasında
bir korelasyon olduğunu gösterirken rasgele etki modeline göre herhangi bir
korelasyon bulunamamıştır. Breusch ve Pagan LR testi kullanılarak ülkelere özgü
hisse senedi getirilerinin varyansları hesaplanmış ve ülkelere özgü oynaklık
riski bulunamamış olup, hisse senedi endeksleri ve döviz kuru arasındaki
varyans sıfırdır. Buna ek olarak rasgele etki modeli hisse senedi endeks
getirileri ve döviz kurları arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamak için uygundur. Bu
uygunluk, modelde herhangi bir ülkeye özgü etki olmadığından dolayı orta ve
uzun vadede uluslararası işlemlerde herhangi bir arbitraj fırsatı olmadığı
anlamında yorumlanabilir. Son olarak döviz kurundaki değişimin endeksler
üzerinde negatif bir etkisi olduğu gözlenmiştir. Yapılan AR ve MA terimlerine göre
geçmiş ay endeks getirilerinin endeks getirileri üzerinde herhangi bir etkiye
sahip olmadıkları anlaşılmıştır. Bütün bunlara ek olarak günlük modellerde kısa
süreli arbitraj imkânı bulunsa da uluslararası döviz piyasaları ve hisse senedi
piyasaları aylık bazda herhangi bir arbitraj fırsatına olanak sağlamayacak
şekilde birlikte hareket etmektedir.

Published: March 2018

Clutch components rotating
at high speed remain under the influence of high centrifugal forces. Therefore
at the high rotational speeds flywheel is subjected to extreme forces that may
cause severe cracks and breakages. Burst test validates the mechanical robustness
of the flywheel under various rotational speeds. In this study comparative
analysis have been performed experimentally and numerically in order to confirm
correlation of the results. Centrifugal endurance test called burst have been
performed in addition to finite element analysis which has been used for
calculating stress values of flywheel. Additionally design of experiment method
has been used for obtaining the response surface that approximates the stress
behavior of automobile flywheel. This provides strong correlation between FEA
results and data fittings calculation that gives extra contribution to reduce
the design process. This study gives
ideas for the stress improvement of flywheel by making experimental and
numerical comparison. Experimental and numerical correlations results taken
from this study can be used on the estimation of design robustness instead of
prototypes production which causes time and money consumption during flywheel
design and production process.

Potential of Microalgae Cultivation in Dairy Wastewater as a Step in Low-Cost Biofuel Production
Authors: Abdulmajeed Basma Abbas , Ibrahim Arwa Raad 
Published: March 2018

The present study addresses adopting the organic and nutritious materials in dairy wastewater as media for cultivation of microalgae, which represent an important source of renewable energy. This study was carried out through cultivation of three types of microalgae; Chlorella sp., Synechococcus, and Anabaena. The results shows the success the cultivation of the Synechococcus and Chlorella Sp, while the Anabaena microalgae were in low-growth level. The highest growth was in the Synechococcus farm, followed by Chlorella and Anabaena. However, the growth of Synechococcus required 10 days to achieve this increase that represents a negative indicator of the adoption of this type of microalgae in this media to meet the desired aims. While Chlorella needs less than two days to start growing. Moreover, the data obtained from the experiment show that removal of chemical oxygen demand in Chlorella cultures was (72%) more than that obtained from cultivation of other microalgae. Thus this microalgae is more efficient in wastewater treatment than other types.
