Examination of the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Cognitive Skills
Authors: Makra Gabriella , Balogh László 
Published: September 2019

Introduction: Examining physical activity and cognitive function has become a popular topic of research since the quality of these two components influences our quality of life and performance. It is very important for both sexes, all ages and life situations.
Objective: Determining a type of physical activity (PA) that has an effect on both cognitive functions (CF) and motor skills and performance. Clarifying or promoting measurement methods, or developing new methods that meet current standards and objectives. The results may be used to help to impove performance in all areas.
Method: Primary purpose of our study was to conduct a review, in order to summarize the relevant literature on the following topics: sex, age, fitness level, possible illness.
Conclusions: We found a significant relationship between cognitive functions and physical activity, which can be transposition in a proper way, both in terms of living standards and performance. On the other hand, there are a lack of uniform, accurate measurement methods. Thhere is a need for specific physical activity routines that specifically improve the level of cognitive function, even at an older age.
The Effect of Proprioceptive Training on Core Muscles Strength and Single Leg Balancing Ability in Youth Soccer Players
Authors: Kovács Miklós , József Márton Pucsok 
Published: September 2019

Core stability and the ability to balance have both a critical role in today’s modern soccer. Majority of injuries originated from the weakness and inefficient strength of core musculature and the kinetic chain. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of a three month proprioceptive training programme on core stability and the ability to balance. We hypothesized that both of the skills might improve by the end of the 12-week exercise program. We set up a group involving 15 players, who regularly participated in a weekly 40 minutes special proprioceptive training routine. The control group hasn’t attended any additional strengthening workout session. The youngsters executed a fitball balancing task, in a seated position, and the so-called Stork-test. Before the 3-month exercise program, we implemented a pre-, at the end of the program a post-test. According to our results, we may conclude that we had measured a significant difference only in the Fitball-test when players executed the single leg balancing test (Stork-test), we haven’t observed any significant difference.
Rapid Variability in the SOL2011-08-04 Flare: Implications for Electron Acceleration
Authors: Altyntsev Alexander T. , Meshalkina Nataliia S. , Lysenko Alexandra L. , Fleishman Gregory D. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Particle acceleration in solar flares remains an outstanding problem in solar physics. It is currently unclear which of the acceleration mechanisms dominates and how exactly the excessive magnetic energy is transferred to nonthermal and other forms of energy. We emphasize that the ultimate acceleration mechanism must be capable of efficiently working in the most extreme conditions, such as the shortest detected timescales and the highest acceleration efficiency. Here we focus on a detailed multiwavelength analysis of the initial phase of the SOL2011-08-04 flare, which demonstrated prominent short subpeaks of nonthermal emission during filament eruption associated with the flare. We demonstrate that the three-dimensional configuration of the flare, combined with timing and spectral behavior of the rapidly varying component, put very stringent constraints on the acceleration regime. Specifically, the rapid subpeaks are generated by short injections of nonthermal electrons with a reasonably hard, single power-law spectrum and a relatively narrow spread of pitch-angles along the mean magnetic field. The acceleration site is a compact volume located near the top of the extended coronal loop(s). The electrons are promptly accelerated up to several hundreds of keV, with the characteristic acceleration time shorter than 50 ms. We show that these properties are difficult to reconcile with widely adopted stochastic acceleration models, while the data inescapably require acceleration by a super-Dreicer electric field, whether regular or random.

Abstract
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has amassed a large data set of primary cosmic-ray protons throughout its mission. In fact, it is the largest set of identified cosmic-ray protons ever collected at this energy. The LAT’s wide field of view and full-sky survey capabilities make it an excellent instrument for studying cosmic-ray anisotropy. As a space-based survey instrument, the LAT is sensitive to anisotropy in both R.A. and decl., while ground-based observations only measure the anisotropy in R.A. We present the results of the first-ever proton anisotropy search using Fermi LAT. The data set was collected over eight years and consists of approximately 179 million protons above 78 GeV, enabling it to probe dipole anisotropy below an amplitude of 10−3, resulting in the most stringent limits on the decl. dependence of the dipole to date. We measure a dipole amplitude δ = 3.9 ± 1.5 × 10−4 with a p-value of 0.01 (pretrials) for protons with energy greater than 78 GeV. We discuss various systematic effects that could give rise to a dipole excess and calculate upper limits on the dipole amplitude as a function of minimum energy. The 95% confidence level upper limit on the dipole amplitude is δ
UL = 1.3 × 10−3 for protons with energy greater than 78 GeV and δ
UL = 1.2 × 10−3 for protons with energy greater than 251 GeV.

Authors: Lambevska-Hristova Aneta , Bancheva Svetlana 
Published: September 2019

Juniperus communis L. formations on heaths or calcareous grassland are included in the Bulgarian Biological Diversity Act (code 5130) and some of them are covered by the European Ecological Network Natura 2000 in Bulgaria.
Aim: The purpose of this work is to investigate the status of selected communities with the participation of J. communis in the Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) "Vitosha" with an emphasis on the species richness of plants and fungi and the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors.
Material and methods: The survey was conducted between May and September 2019. Habitat 5130 covers an area of 19.27 ha in the territory of SAC "Vitosha". For the purpose of this study is crawled throughout the mountain where it is registered. The route and stationary methods were used for selected objects. Reporting plots were installed in 5 places, each with an area of 100 sq.m. For the assessment of the state of J. communis’ communities and the influencing factors the appropriate Methodology used for the establishment of the national Natura 2000 network in Bulgaria was applied (Zingstra et al. 2009).
Results: A remarkable species richness of plants and fungi was found in the selected communities of Common Juniper at SAC "Vitosha". A new lignicolous species for the Bulgarian mycota, Peniophora junipericola J. Erikss on single host J. communis, was found. The explored plant communities were in good condition and have not been established factors threatening their existence.
Conclusion: The habitat occurs at various altitudes and includes species with various ecological characteristics. A tendency for restoration and increasing of the areas covered by the Common juniper has been observed recently as a result of abandonment of arable land.
Le paradigme de l’inclusion ou la société des singularités pour horizon
Authors: Pillant Yves 
Published: September 2019

La notion d’inclusion indique une nouveauté qui semble recouper certains travaux sociologiques sur la « société des singularités ». Penser une société inclusive offre une occasion de reconsidérer l’égalité démocratique à l’aune de l’unicité de chacun de ses membres. Cet article se propose de croiser cette recherche sociologique sur l’égalité avec la philosophie de Levinas sur l’altérité. La notion d’intégration comme assimilation de l’altérité fera place à celle d’inclusion au service d’une quête d’un commun d’humanité. Renversant l’antériorité de l’identité sur l’altérité, les tendances à l’homogénéisation et à l’identitarisme sont revisitées pour orienter des chemins qui pensent la diversité comme le ferment de notre production du commun.
Inclusion et hétérotopie : monographie d’un atelier djembé pratiqué dans la mixité
Authors: Vigneulle Marianne 
Published: September 2019

À travers une enquête sur un atelier de djembé partagé entre personnes dites « handicapées » et personnes dites « valides », l’article interroge l’inclusion dans un cadre très local, en étudiant les conditions de cette pratique commune constituée autour de deux enjeux initiaux potentiellement contradictoires : la synchronisation rythmique et la synchronisation sociale. L’observation ethnographique conduit à formuler l’hypothèse d’un espace hétérotopique, un monde social qui se distingue de l’espace courant dans son organisation, ses règles et ses modes de domination. Le sentiment de singularité de l’expérience vécue apparaît alors comme une composante essentielle de l’investissement des participants dans cet atelier.
Time‐varying band‐pass filtering GPR data by self‐inverse filtering
Authors: Economou Nikos 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTEven though ground penetrating radar data signal processing has already been studied by many researchers, more research is needed and expected from automatic ground penetrating radar data analysis. An automatic band‐pass filtering procedure can lead to sufficient real‐time data interpretation as signal buried in noise could be amplified. Ground penetrating radar traces are highly non‐stationary, requiring time‐varying processing techniques. An algorithm, based on self‐inverse filtering, which is a special case of inverse filtering, was implemented. It is a ground penetrating radar trace filtering approach and is implemented by applying inverse filtering in each time sample in the time‐frequency domain. Applied on a synthetic trace, this algorithm performed better than a stationary band‐pass filter and empirical mode decomposition family methods, whereas its application on real ground penetrating radar data from two different sites enhanced reflections buried in noise without the need to test different high‐frequency band stops and with minimum distortion of the signal and the initial temporal resolution of the data.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTClay content is one of the primary causes of pavement damages, such as subgrade failures, cracks, and pavement rutting, thereby playing a crucial role in road safety issues as an indirect cause of accidents. In this paper, several ground‐penetrating radar methods and analysis techniques were used to nondestructively investigate the electromagnetic behaviour of sub‐asphalt compacted clayey layers and subgrade soils in unsaturated conditions. Typical road materials employed for load‐bearing layers construction, classified as A1, A2, and A3 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials soil classification system, were used for the laboratory tests. Clay‐free and clay‐rich soil samples were manufactured and adequately compacted in electrically and hydraulically isolated formworks. The samples were tested at different moisture conditions from dry to saturated. Measurements were carried out for each water content using a vector network analyser spanning the 1 GHz–3 GHz frequency range, and a pulsed radar system with ground‐coupled antennas, with 500‐MHz centre frequency. Different theoretically based methods were used for data processing. Promising insights are shown to single out the influence of clay in load‐bearing layers and subgrade soils, and its impact on their electromagnetic response at variable moisture conditions.
Ground‐penetrating radar measurement of the distribution of thixotropic slurry behind large‐diameter segments in long‐distance pipe‐jacking construction

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTPipe‐jacking engineering requires monitoring of the spatial distribution of thixotropic slurry behind the pipe segments, but timely thickness measurements are difficult during construction. Ground‐penetrating radar was used here during sewage pipe jacking, to evaluate the distribution of the slurry by considering its dielectric contrast with the surrounding soil. A series of circular ground‐penetrating radar data was collected along the inner surfaces of the pipe segments using an antenna with a frequency of 900 MHz. To enable accurate interpretation of the ground‐pene‐trating radar images, the dielectric parameters of the slurry were first measured by time‐domain reflectometry. Statistical analyses revealed the slurry as a special medium with extremely high dielectric constant and conductivity. Numerical simulation indicated that the ground‐penetrating radar images can be considerably improved by applying Karhunen–Loeve transformation followed by f–k Stolt migration, which facilitates identification of the reflections from the slurry–soil interface. Based on all the processed ground‐penetrating radar field data, the thickness and the distribution of the slurry at different pipe segments were calculated using the two‐way travel time and the radar signal propagation velocity in the slurry. The results show that ground‐penetrating radar is indeed effective for estimating the quality of slurry injected during pipe jacking.
Mapping of hydrocarbon‐ and scrap‐metal‐contaminated soil using volatile organic compounds and electromagnetic profiling methods
Authors: Delgado‐Rodríguez Omar 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTThe electromagnetic profiling method detects lateral changes in soil conductivity up to a certain depth. Volatile organic compounds are most commonly found in sites contaminated by hydrocarbons. This work presents the results of the application of electromagnetic profiling and volatile organic compound methods for detecting hydrocarbon and buried scrap metal contamination zones at a 48‐ha site that was used as an industrial waste dump for many years. Potentially contaminated zones were configured based on a joint analysis of low resistivity anomalies (mature pollution) and high concentrations of volatile organic compounds, which reduced the amount of soil sampling through optimal location of the drilling points. Chemical analysis in 54 soil samples showed the presence of three hydrocarbon‐contaminated zones that produced total petroleum hydrocarbon values higher than 10,000 ppm. Buried scrap metal was detected by anomalous in‐phase measurements obtained by an electromagnetic profiling survey, facilitating future removal works.
Pore radius distribution and fractal dimension derived from spectral induced polarization
Authors: Zhang Zeyu , Weller Andreas , Kruschwitz Sabine 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTThe pore size distribution provides a suitable description of the pore space geometry that can be used to investigate the fractal nature of a pore space or to determine the fractal dimension. The fractal dimension describes the size of the geometric objects as a function of resolution. It can be integrated into the models that are used for permeability prediction. We investigated the fractal dimension of the pore volume of 11 Eocene sandstone samples from China. This study describes an approach to use spectral induced polarization spectra to estimate the pore size distribution and to determine the fractal dimension of the pore volume. Additionally, the fractal dimension was derived from data of the capillary pressure curves from mercury intrusion and the transversal relaxation time distribution of nuclear magnetic resonance. For samples with an effective pore radius larger than 1 μm, a good agreement exists between the values of the fractal dimension derived from the three different methods, which implies an identification of similar pore structures. Spectral induced polarization can be a non‐invasive laboratory technique for the estimation of the pore size distribution, but the application of the methodology to field measurements remains a challenging problem considering the limited frequency range.
Seismic survey on an open pingo system in Adventdalen Valley, Spitsbergen, Svalbard

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACTWe present the results of a seismic survey on an open‐system pingo, the Innerhytta pingo, located in the Adventdalen Valley, Spitsbergen Island of the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. To evaluate the temporal evolution of the permafrost, we need detailed knowledge of its heterogeneities, of which pingos are the most visible markers. The seismic velocity contrasts and inversions peculiar to these features can be a problem for a successful seismic survey. The present paper focusses on the limits and benefits of various seismic methods for imaging the subsurface structure of the pingo, with the aim of defining the best practice for shallow seismic exploration. We performed several tests, using classical reflection/refraction arrays, seismic tomography, and surface wave analysis. We tested different kinds of seismic sources and receivers. The combined use of several sources and receivers sets and patterns, and the use of surface wave analysis and body wave tomography allowed constructing a three‐dimensional model of the velocities. For this particular pingo, beneath an approximately 15‐m thick high‐velocity layer, low velocities are found to be present at an anomalously shallow depth. This low‐velocity layer is interpreted to host the ground water circulation that controls the pingo’s structural evolution. Such observations suggest feeding water flow from depth rather than from the near surface, as commonly supposed for open‐system pingos.
Protection from Endotoxin Shock by Selective Targeting of Proinflammatory Signaling to the Nucleus Mediated by Importin Alpha 5

Abstract
Endotoxin shock is induced by LPS, one of the most potent virulence factors of the Gram-negative bacteria that cause sepsis. It remains unknown if either proinflammatory stress-responsive transcription factors (SRTFs), ferried to nucleus by importin α5, or lipid-regulating sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), transported to the nucleus by importin β1, mediate endotoxin shock. A novel cell-penetrating peptide targeting importin α5 while sparing importin β1 protected 80% of animals from death in response to a high dose of LPS. This peptide suppresses inflammatory mediators, liver glycogen depletion, endothelial injury, neutrophil trafficking, and apoptosis caused by LPS. In d-galactosamine–pretreated mice challenged by 700-times lower dose of LPS, rapid death through massive apoptosis and hemorrhagic necrosis of the liver was also averted by the importin α5–selective peptide. Thus, using a new tool for selective suppression of nuclear transport, we demonstrate that SRTFs, rather than SREBPs, mediate endotoxin shock.
INCLUSÃO, INTERAÇÃO E DEFICIÊNCIA VISUAL: UM RELATO DE DUAS EXPERIÊNCIAS NO PROCESSO DE ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM COM CEGOS

Existem alguns documentos oficias, tais como o Programa Educação Inclusiva: direito à diversidade(2003 a 2007), o Programa de Formação Continuada de Professores na Educação Especial – modalidade à distância(2010) (MELLO, 2011), o Programa de Implantação de Salas de Recursos Multifuncionais(2005 a 2008), entre outros, que trazem orientações aos docentes de diversas áreas do conhecimento, em específico no trato com a comunidade cega ou de baixa visão, mas as lacunas científicas e legais (ainda) permanecem. Portanto, este trabalho visa um debate crítico-reflexivo acerca do processo de ensino-aprendizagem de deficientes visuais, baseados nas questões de inclusão e de interação que subjazem este processo. Dessa forma, serão relatadas duas experiências com ensino-aprendizagem para cegos: uma vivida no âmbito de um projeto intitulado English for Blinds;e a outra no Curso de Letras/Inglês da Universidade Federal do Piauí, na modalidade EAD, no polo de Canto do Buriti, a serem mediadas pela literatura pertinente da área, a fim de que dialogue com o relato aqui exposto.
