Statistical Review and Match Analysis of Rugby World Cups Finals
Authors: Vaz Luis , Hendricks Sharief , Kraak Wilbur 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the game related statistics and match analysis of rugby world cups finals from 1987 to 2015. Video recordings of all (n = 8 matches) rugby world cup finals were used for the purpose of this study. Games were analysed using the video analysis software (Sports code V8.9, Sportstec, Australia) and supplementary data were collected from the official reports published by the International Rugby Board and from webpages of Rugby World Cups. Magnitude of differences between the winners and losers was assessed mechanistically. Only 5 tries in total were scored in the last 8 rugby world cup finals. The main two modes of scoring points were penalty kicks and drop goals. Winning teams attempted more penalty kicks, yet seemed to miss more. The number of drop goals was similar between winning and losing teams. These findings highlight the significance of having an on form place-kicker and from a defensive perspective, conceding fewer penalties in kickable positions. Winners of the Rugby World Cup final won more scrums and lost few line-outs, emphasising the importance of winning the set-pieces. Further establishment of these variables and their influence on performance may be used to evaluate team performances and plan more effective tactical approaches to competition

Abstract
To meet the demand of a player’s entourage (e.g., coaches and medical staff), it is important for the biomechanics specialist to perform repeatable measures. To the best of our knowledge, to date, it has not been demonstrated whether similar results are obtained between two sessions of testing or between laboratory and field sport kinematic protocols with regard to the tennis serve. This study had two primary aims. First, the inter-session repeatability of biomechanical variables of a tennis serve was evaluated. Second, the differences between laboratory and field evaluations were studied. Thirteen national tennis players (ITN 3) performed the same 28 markers’ set laboratory test twice two weeks apart, and other thirteen national players (ITN 3) performed two 4 markers’ set tests both in the laboratory and on an official tennis court one week apart. A 3D motion system was used to measure lower-limb, pelvis, trunk, dominant arm and racket kinematics. A force plate was used to evaluate kinetics of legs’ drive in the laboratory. A personal method based on a point scoring system was developed to evaluate the ball landing location accuracy. We observed that the majority of the studied variables were acceptable for excellent relative reliability for the inter-session analysis. We also showed that the impact of the laboratory versus field context on the player’s serve was limited
Shorter but More Frequent Rest Periods: No Effect on Velocity and Power Compared to Traditional Sets not Performed to Failure
Authors: Jukic Ivan , Tufano James J. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Performing traditional sets to failure is fatiguing, but redistributing total rest time to create short frequent sets lessens the fatigue. Since performing traditional sets to failure is not always warranted, we compared the effects of not-to-failure traditional sets and rest redistribution during free-weight back squats in twenty-six strength-trained men (28 ± 5.44 y; 84.6 ± 10.5 kg, 1RM-to-body-mass ratio of 1.82 ± 0.33). They performed three sets of ten repetitions with 4 min inter-set rest (TS) and five sets of six repetitions with 2 min inter-set rest (RR6) at 70% of one repetition maximum. Mean velocity (p > 0.05; d = 0.10 (-0.35, 0.56)) and mean power (p > 0.05; d = 0.19 (-0.27, 0.64)) were not different between protocols, but the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was less during RR6 (p < 0.05; d = 0.93 (0.44, 1.40)). Also, mean velocity and power output decreased (RR6: 14.10% and 10.95%; TS: 17.10% and 15.85%, respectively) from the first repetition to the last, but the percentage decrease was similar (velocity: p > 0.05; d = 0.16 (0.30, 0.62); power: p > 0.05; d = 0.22 (-0.24, 0.68)). These data suggest that traditional sets and rest redistribution maintain velocity and power output to a similar degree when traditional sets are not performed to failure. However, rest redistribution might be advantageous as RR6 displayed a lower RPE.

Digital transformation is shaping our lives continuously. The current economic trends confirm the shift to the digital economy and society. Significant changes occurred at micro and macro levels, new financial and commercial models emerged due to the digital platforms and ecosystems.Digital platforms and ecosystems are created, managed and governed to support the private entrepreneurial initiatives. For the private sector, digital platforms come with the promise of exponential economic growth, scale through the network effects and no assets needed. Recent research shows that emerging digital ecosystems will score $60 trillion in revenue by 2025, which represents more than 30% of the global corporate revenue, and for the moment, only 3% of companies have adopted an active platform strategy....
Methodological challenges to evaluating the health economic impact of nutritional interventions
Authors: Schmier Jordana Kate , Chang Ellen T 
Published: April 2019

Enhancing the diet by increasing or decreasing consumption of selected foods or nutrients is a well-accepted method of improving population health in certain settings. However, the economic impact of most dietary interventions is largely unknown. Studies in the past decade have started to estimate the effects on healthcare costs, often through economic models, but the evaluation of nutritional interventions is challenging and faces uncertainties unique to the domain, compared with more straightforward analyses of medical or surgical interventions. This paper discusses three main areas of uncertainty: measurement of consumption, assessing effectiveness, and considerations about the economic inputs to a model. Insight into these sources of uncertainty can help readers assess the quality of existing studies, and provide guidance for their future research.
Eurooppalaiset periferiat postkoloniaalisessa kirjallisuudessa
Authors: Toivanen Anna-Leena 
Published: April 2019

Kuten Frank Schulze-Engler (2013, 670) on todennut, Eurooppa on jälkikoloniaalin tutkimuksen sokea piste. Eurooppaa ei ymmärretä ”jälkikoloniaalisena” mantereena, joten se rajautuu kyseisen paradigman ulkopuolelle. Schulze-Engler peräänkuuluttaa Euroopan sisällyttämistä jälkikoloniaalisen tutkimuksen kartalle, minne se siirtomaamenneisyyden määrittämän nykyhetkensä puolesta perustellusti kuuluu.
Euroopan ”jälkikolonialisointi” oli yksi keskeinen motiivi toukokuussa 2018 Liègen yliopistossa Belgiassa järjestämälleni symposiumille “European Peripheries in Postcolonial Literatures”. Tapahtuma liittyi kaksivuotiseen, Euroopan komission rahoittamaan Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship -tutkimusprojektiini.
Sobre las tensiones entre conocimiento y vida en la filosofía de Nietzsche
Authors: Torres Gabriel M 
Published: April 2019

<p>El presente escrito deriva del informe de adscripción a la cátedra “Filosofía Contemporánea Siglo XIX”, llevada a cabo en el período 2007-2008. El objetivo central es presentar una cierta organización de los elementos básicos de dos dimensiones que de la obra de Friedrich Nietzsche: la reflexión sobre el conocimiento, y la ética. La exploración de los puntos de conexión entre ambas tiene como aspiración precisar la idea de crítica que habría llegado a formular el filósofo alemán.</p><p>De este modo, en el tramo más propiamente especulativo la atención se focaliza en la cuestión del perspectivismo y su crítica a la clásica noción de verdad; mientras que la instancia siguiente se atiene al análisis de los efectos de la práctica del conocimiento en el orden de la vida, para lo cual el pensamiento genealógico y la noción de ideal ascético resultan piezas claves. El planteo del carácter ambivalente del conocimiento, a través de la óptica de la existencia, tiene como interés global ensayar una caracterización de la posición de Nietzsche ante la tradición filosófica moderna.</p>
Rol del cuerpo en Platón, una perspectiva foucaultiana
Authors: García Zalazar María Belén 
Published: April 2019

<p>La investigación buscará realizar un análisis del papel del cuerpo en la noción Foucaultiana de Inquietud de sí en el período socrático platónico abordadas en la recopilación de clases titulada Hermenéutica del sujeto. En ella Foucault nos ofrece una nueva mirada sobre la concepción platónica de cuerpo y le otorgaría una función indispensable en lo referente al proceso de subjetivación entendida en el contexto de la relación del sujeto con la verdad.</p><p>Partiendo de la lectura del Fedro, diálogo platónico que relata lo referente al alma y a la caída de la misma del mundo de las ideas al plano sensible con la consecuente adopción de un cuerpo, se buscará señalar mediante los aportes foucaultianos, como ese cuerpo que representa la prisión a la cual se vio recluida el alma, se presenta a su vez como la condición de posibilidad de su liberación y retorno venturoso al plano eidético.</p><p> </p>

Correction: Unfortunately, several authors on this paper were omitted. Therefore, on 15th April 2019 the following authors were added to the paper: Mathew Ibrahim Amprayil, Rahul Taparia and Shailesh Mani Pokhrel. The editorial board apologises for this error.
The common risk factors for Idiopathic intracranial hypertension are obesity, female gender, hypervitaminosis A, and steroid withdrawal. Even though Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is considered as a neuropsychiatric manifestation of Systemic lupus erythematosus, it is often missed by the physician as a cause of a headache in a patient with Systemic lupus erythematosus. We report a case of 21-year-old female who presented in our outpatient department with a history of a severe intractable progressive headache for a duration of four weeks and blurring of vision for five days who was later diagnosed as a case of idiopathic intracranial hypertension with Systemic lupus erythematosus. She recovered dramatically with the institution of steroid and acetazolamide therapy.

Published: April 2019

This paper confers the tools and methodology used in developing a Nepali Text to Speech Synthesis System using FreeTTS and is entirely developed in Java and uses FreeTTS synthesize1: Vocalized form of human communication is Speech. Here the Nepali Language is Synthetized based on formant approach and the use of one of the popular generic frameworks FreeTTS that is available in public domain for the development of a TTS system. The Text To Speech Architecture has been developed putting more emphasis on the Natural Language Processing (NLP) component rather than Digital Signal Processing (DSP) component. Nepali language being mostly used language in Nepal and some parts of India and abroad, a text-to-speech (TTS} synthesizer for this language will prove to be a convenient tool and communication technology (JCT) based system to aid to those majorities of people who are illiterate and also to those who are physical impairments like visually handicapped and vocally disabled persons. This ability to convert text to voice may reduce the dependency, frustration, and sense of helplessness of these people. The system can be extended to include more features such as emotions, improved tokenization, interactive options and the use of minimal database.
Development of an Interactive Batch Planning System for Plasma Nitriding Furnaces*

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Batch planning is one integral part of all industrial heat treatment processes. Its main goal is the maximization of the number of components in the batch considering the components specifications. During batch planning the temperature distribution in the batch needs to be taken into account at any point and therefore plays the decisive role. So far, the calculation of the load is based on experience. This can lead to loss of quality or reduced productivity.
As a result, an interactive batch planning system for plasma nitriding furnaces is being developed in a current research and development project. The planning system contains a radiation model, which calculates the temperature distribution in the batch, and a diffusion model, which allows to predict the nitriding results based on the calculated temperatures. Due to computation time requirements a simplification of the physical model, especially the radiation model, needs to be realized. The permissible simplifications are determined in a study on a complete numerical radiation model. This paper shows the concept of the batch planning system and the development of the complete numerical radiation model.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common dementia and a progressive neurodegenerative disorder aggravated by chronic hypoperfusion (HP). Since numerous evidence suggests that inflammation is related with AD pathology, we investigated the expression change of two anti-inflammatory markers, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 (ITIH4) and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG), in a novel AD model (APP23) with HP at 12 month of age. As compared with wild type (WT, n = 10), immunohistochemical analysis showed a higher ITIH4 and a lower AHSG expressions in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus of the APP23 + HP group ( n = 12) than the simple APP23 ( n = 10) group (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 versus WT; # p < 0.05 and # # p < 0.01 versus APP23). The present study provides an upregulation of anti-inflammatory ITIH4 and a downregulation of pro-inflammatory TNF α-dependent AHSG in a novel AD plus HP mice model.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is caused by a uniform 1.5–Mb duplication on chromosome 17p, which includes the PMP22 gene. Patients often present the classic neuropathy phenotype, but also with high clinical variability. Objective: We aimed to identify genetic variants that are potentially associated with specific clinical outcomes in CMT1A. Methods: We genotyped over 600,000 genomic markers using DNA samples from 971 CMT1A patients and performed a case-only genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify potential genetic association in a subset of 644 individuals of European ancestry. A total of 14 clinical outcomes were analyzed in this study. Results: The analyses yielded suggestive association signals in four clinical outcomes: difficulty with eating utensils (lead SNP rs4713376, chr6 : 30773314, P = 9.91×10–7, odds ratio = 3.288), hearing loss (lead SNP rs7720606, chr5 : 126551732, P = 2.08×10–7, odds ratio = 3.439), decreased ability to feel (lead SNP rs17629990, chr4 : 171224046, P = 1.63×10–7, odds ratio = 0.336), and CMT neuropathy score (lead SNP rs12137595, chr1 : 4094068, P = 1.14×10–7, beta = 3.014). Conclusions: While the results require validation in future genetic and functional studies, the detected association signals may point to novel genetic modifiers in CMT1A.

Summary. Aim: To examine frequencies and spectrum of genomic alterations in Ukrainian patients diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Materials and Methods: We enrolled 30 Ukrainian patients diagnosed with PMF who were previously tested for usual mutations in mye­loproliferative neoplasms driver genes (JAK2, MPL and CALR). Genomic DNA samples were obtained from peripheral blood leukocytes of these patients. Copy number alterations and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (cnLOH) were assessed using a high-density CytoScan HD microarray platform. Statistical significance was evaluated by the Fisher exact test. Results: We identified frequent genomic alterations, but no significant difference in the rates of copy-number loss, copy-number gain, cnLOH, or multiple genomic alterations were found in the groups of PMF patients that were positive for one of the usual mutations in driver genes or negative for such mutations (33.3% and 55.6%, p = 0.4181, 19.0% and 11.1%, p = 1.0000, 61.9% and 44.4%, p = 0.4434, 33.3% and 55.6%, p = 0.4181, respectively). The most frequent alterations were cnLOH at 1p36-1p22, 9p24.3-9p13.3 and 11q12.3-11q25; copy number loss at 7q21-7q36.3 and 13q12.3-13q14.3. Copy number alterations and cnLOH commonly affected the EZH2, LAMB4, CBL, CUX1, ATM, RB1 and TP53 genes, in addition to JAK2, MPL and CALR. Conclusion: We demonstrated the spectrum of genomic alterations in the groups of the Ukrainian PMF patients with or without the usual mutations in the specific driver genes. We identified several potential genes, which may be involved in the myeloproliferative neoplasms development and their phenotype modification (EZH2, LAMB4, CBL, CUX1, ATM, RB1 and TP53).

El mercado de la construcción en algunas oportunidades se percibe una clara distinción o diferenciación entre las empresas y del producto que nos pueden entregar, lo indicado que es producido por la empresa, Ecuador es un país altamente vulnerable ante las crisis, varios factores son los que pesan en la economía ecuatoriana, como la excesiva dependencia de los ingresos petroleros, la dolarización. estos generan inestabilidad. El sector de la construcción crece en consonancia con el PIB, siendo un actor importante dentro de la Economía ecuatoriana. Los altos precios del petróleo le han permitido al Gobierno actual incrementar considerablemente los montos de la inversión pública (construcción de hidroeléctricas, carreteras, centros médicos, centros del buen vivir, unidades educativas del milenio, etc.) y el gasto público, especialmente el corriente. Pero lamentablemente, la bonanza petrolera llegó a su fin, pues los precios de su principal producto de exportación, logran cubrir tan solo los costos de producción.
De acuerdo al Banco Central, mantendrá una leve recuperación en los próximos años, lo cual tuvo mucho que ver la derogatoria de la Ley de Plusvalía, la promulgación de la Ley de Fomento Productivo, que crearon las condiciones de inversión y financiamiento de la economía., la promulgación de la Ley de Fomento Productivo, que crearon las condiciones de inversión y financiamiento para este sector tan importante de la economía.
