Sports Participation is Worth Two Letter Grades in Undergraduate Admissions Decisions
Authors: Lavallee David 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
The current study aimed to assess the impact of sports participation on undergraduate admissions decisions at universities, colleges, and conservatoires in the United Kingdom. A between subjects, experimental design was employed. Participants from providers of undergraduate courses completed an on-line experiment that required them to make a decision on one of three randomly assigned undergraduate applications written for the study: one without sport participation included (control) and two modified versions with sport participation included (one for team sports and one for individual sports). Participants were asked to decide whether to make an offer or reject the application. Significant differences were found between the control and sport-modified applications for one and two grade differences overall, as participation in sport elevated the undergraduate application. As this study was delimited to sport participation, the findings cannot be generalized to other extra-curricular activities. Future researchers could extend this investigation by examining the economic and social impact of participation in sports at secondary school post-University.

Authors: Zhang Wei , Yu Yandong 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
In order to improve quality and reveal the law of precision forging, closed-die forging technology is used in this paper to conduct a numerical analysis of the forming process of aluminum alloy connecting rod by the DEFORM software. Forming effects under different loading modes were acquired, and forming process, blank flow characteristics, stress-strain distribution and load-stroke curve characteristics were analyzed. Study results indicate that the forming effect under the loading mode featuring first movement of lateral punch and then movement of upper and lower punches is good with high quality forge piece and no defect, the closed-die forging technology of aluminum alloy connecting rod is reasonable and feasible. Under a certain deformation velocity and deformation mode, aluminum alloy connecting rod forming load firstly reduces and then increases, the forming load is in direct proportion to deformation velocity. When the forming process is finished, forming load reaches 130T, it accords with the production practice. The study results provide a certain reference for guiding the formulation of closed-die forging production technology of aluminum alloy connecting rods.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present methods for human eye blink recognition. The main function of blinking is to spread tears across the eye and remove irratants from the surface of the cornea and conjuctiva. Blinking can be associated with internal memory processing, fatigue or activation in central nervous system. There are currently many methods for automatic blink detection. The most reliable methods include EOG or EEG signals. These methods, however, are associated with a decrease in the comfort of the examined person. This paper presents a method to detect blinks with the eye-tracker device. There are currently many blink detection methods for this devices. Two popular eye-trackers were tested in this paper. In addition a method for improving detection efficiency was proposed.

Abstract
The manganese-doped polymorphs of bismuth orthoniobate were studied using thermal analysis, ESR, XPS and NEXAFS spectroscopy. It was shown that the phase transition from the orthorhombic (α) to the triclinic (β) modification can be reversible and it can be achieved by prolonged calcination of samples at 750°C. The DSC curves revealed no thermal effects associated with the phase transformation from the triclinic to the orthorhombic modification near 750°C. In the ESR spectra, the absorption band with g = 3.8 characterized by sextet structure disappeared during the phase transformation from the - to the -form and only the broad component with average intensity was observed at g = 2.2-2.0. According to NEXAFS spectroscopy data, the content of oxidized Mn(III) atoms increased and the content of Mn(II) decreased in the orthorhombic polymorph obtained at 750°C from the tri-clinic modification.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disorder caused by sudden decrease or interruption of blood flow in brain arteries. Deficiency of timely and effective reperfusion of ischemic brain tissue can lead to irreversible brain injury and neurological dysfunction. Currently, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is the only appropriate thrombolytic agent which is approved by FDA for patients with acute ischemic stoke. However, due to the limitation of very narrow therapeutic time window and severe intracranial hemorrhagic complication, the outcome of stroke treatment mediated by rt-PA still remains unsatisfactory. Therefore, it is urgent to find new alternative drugs or develop novel drug delivery system to achieve better outcomes. In recent years, with the rapid development of nanotechonology, nanomaterials as a drug delivery system can provide new strategies and methods to carry t-PA specifically to the occlusion site and provide advanced treatment for stroke. In this review, we briefly introduced the physiopathologic mechanisms of thrombolysis and focused on the comparison of the t-PA mediated thrombolysis and t-PA conjugated nanomaterial mediated thrombolysis.

Published: September 2019

AbstractThis paper is taking two cases of leadership. The first case deals with a given leadership trait of Nyai Yoyoh Johara, Cintawana Pesantren, Singaparna, Tasikmalaya district, and the other of Nyai Etti Tismayanti, al-Ikhwan Pesantren, Condong, Setia Negara, Tasikmalaya city. Applying a grounded research method and using Anthony Giddens’s perspective of social practice, the study identifies woman’s leadership in Islamic educational institutions, from the competition of social force of kodrat and of democracy and feminism. The object of the study is the Muslim woman’s leadership at pesantren in the local context. The data used in this study is based on the fieldwork which was done April to November 2010 in both Tasikmalaya district and city. The study found that women apply some strategies and manipulate the hindrances they face dynamically to have a career in the educational realm, in the male world using the limitation imposed by the norm such as kodrat, with several strategies. Modern values as social forces do influence female leadership agency but are implemented through certain rationalization which still maintains the traditional roles of women.AbstrakArtikel ini mendiskusikan bagaimana perempuan memimpin di pesantren, baik dalam bentuk kepemimpinan terberi (inherited) atau kepemimpinan yang diraih dengan usaha (achieved leadership) di konteks lokal, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya dan Kota Tasikmalaaya, dengan mengambil dua kasus kepemimpinan.

Published: September 2019

Abstract: Our health is highly determined by the diverse microbial community living within our body and upon our skin. Balance among the members of the commensal microbiota is essential for the preservation of health. New generation sequencing is a rapid, sensitive method for determining the whole microbiome without prior hypothesis and also gives information on the resistance and virulence status. Application of this method can help to identify the pathogens contributing to different diseases, and also the protective bacteria inhibiting their growth. Detecting the changes of the microbiome helps to identify new therapeutic targets and establish targeted antibiotic therapy. Broad-spectrum antibiotics also act against the beneficial members of the microbial flora, which may lead to the development of recurrent or chronic disease. Ear, nose and throat infections are the most common infective diseases in humans and the leading cause for antibiotic prescription worldwide. In recent years, many studies using molecular biology methods were performed examining the microbiome of healthy humans and in otorhinolaryngologic diseases. In the present work, the authors review the changes of the microbiological communities in the healthy state and in various pathologic states in the anatomic regions of the ear, nose and throat.

Abstract: Introduction: The indicator-based performance monitoring and pay-for-performance system for Hungarian primary care was established in 2009, covering the whole country. It is based on a stable legal system and well operating information technology. Although, the health insurance system is able to facilitate the performance improvement only by the financing for general medical practices, the many times modified present system does not take into consideration (apart from the geographical location of practices) factors which determine the performance but cannot be influenced by general practitioners. Aim: The study aimed at renewing the indicator set and evaluation methodology in order to enable the monitoring to evaluate the performance of general medical practices independent of their structural characteristics. Method: Each adult care specific primary care performance indicator from June 2016 covering the whole country has been investigated. Indicators adjusted for structural practice characteristics (age and gender of patients; relative education of people provided; settlement type and county of the practice) have been computed. The difference between adjusted indicators and national reference values has been evaluated by statistical testing. Appropriateness of the present monitoring and financing system has been investigated by comparing the practice level presently applied and adjusted indicators to outline the opportunities to develop the present system. Results: The present monitoring allocates 34.46% of pay-for-performance resources for improving the performance of practices. The majority of resources supports the conservation of performance. Furthermore, the present system is not able to identify each practice with better than reference performance, withholding amount corresponding to 8.83% of pay-for-performance resources. If this financing were restricted to practices with significantly better than reference performance, the maximum of the financing a month in a practice would increase from 176 042 HUF (551 EURO) to 406 604 HUF (1274 EURO). Conclusion: Completing the performance monitoring system operated at present by the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary with indicators adjusted for structural characteristics of the general medical practices, the resource allocation effectiveness could be improved.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: Earlier results in the literature suggest that overweight subjects show weaker performance in executive function tasks as compared to normal weight people. Dopaminergic system is strongly linked to executive functions, body mass regulation and ingestion. The aim of the present study was to examine the possible relationship between DRD4 VNTR 7-repeat allele, body mass index and Stroop performance in a healthy adult population, and to draw psychogenetic conclusions. Method: 152 subjects without diabetic or psychiatric history participated in the study. Along with non-invasive DNA sampling, demographic, weight and height data were collected. The participants also solved the computerized Stroop task. 11 subjects belonged to the underweight (mean body mass index = 17.9 kg/m2), 98 subjects to the normal (mean body mass index = 21.8 kg/m2), and 43 subjects to the overweight (mean body mass index = 28.9 kg/m2) category. After grouping participants according to their body mass index and DRD4 VNTR genotype, we compared their mean performance to investigate the possible psychogenetic associations. Results: Body mass index and stimuli type showed significant interaction on error number (p = 0.045): subjects with normal body mass index made significantly less error as compared to under- and overweight subjects in incongruent trials. The 7-repeat allele carriers made tendentiously more errors than non-carriers. Normal weight people made less error – independently from their genotype –, while subjects with either low or high BMI carrying the 7-repeat allele made more errors compared to non-carriers. Conclusion: Under- and overweight subjects perform weaker where inhibition is necessary in the task. This may reflect their reactions to food-related situations. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(39): 1554–1562.
