Published: October 2018

Abstract
As it is mentioned in the action direction Healthy and Workable Individual of the National Development Plan of Latvia 2012 –2020: 30% of all the dead in Latvia have lost their life at the age of being able to work. The main causes of death rate are different diseases (cardio-vascular a.o.), as well as outer death causes (injuries) (Pudule et al, 2012; Štale et al, 2013). Only 8% of the EU and 6% of the Latvian population regularly perform moderate and very difficult physical activity (PA) (Eurobarometer, 2013). Therefore it is necessary to implement purposeful and effective health promoting and risk limiting events to develop the physical capital of one. The understanding of the impact of physical activity on one’s physical capital is not well explored in the previous studies (Hutson, 2012; Maguire, 2008; Goldenberg, 2003; Hedblom, 2009). Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the relationship between PA and the objective indicators of physical capital for women in fitness. In the study voluntarily participated 33 women (30±4.1 years) from 2 fitness clubs in Riga. In order to determine the respondents’ objective indicators of physical capital were applied: bioimpedance method (TANITA SC330, Japan, 89/336/EC), heart rate variability analysis data processing software ‘Omega’, complex load test with expiratory gas analysis (VIASYS Healthcare GMBH, Germany) and Eirofit tests for adults. In order to determine the level of PA the IPAQ (Craig et al, 2003) short version in Latvian (Kaupuzs & Larins, 2010) was used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were made (SPSS ver.18.0). Several moderately close (0.5<|rs|<0.69; p<0.01) and close correlations (0.7<|rs|<0.99; p<0.01) are determined between the level of PA and indicators of body composition, physical work capacity, physical fitness and functional state of the body. The level of PA has a positive impact on the objective indicators of physical capital. The more physically active the respondent is, the better physical fitness, higher work capacity, better the indicators of his body composition are and better functional state.

Fair Play in the Physical Education Curriculum
Authors: Miura Yutaka 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
At this time of rapid change in society, what kind of educational role must the physical education curriculum and sports instruction play? As a matter of course, the teacher assesses the ability of the students as a specialized leader of sports and must stretch it out to achieve competitive success. However, if the teacher enthuses about victory in excess, the corporal punishment that can be called violence might be caused (15). In this case, the teacher doesn’t recognize the underlying principle that physical education and sports instruction is vital to the development of rounded human beings as future citizens. Sadly the consciousness of this principle by some educators is missing. For this reason, a return to a basic standpoint of education is proposed, where the physical education class is a core subject of school education. This study proposes further enhancement and development of the physical education curriculum from a viewpoint of pedagogy. In the first half of this study, the definition and meaning of the phrase “fair play” was analyzed in terms of education, and how this phrase was used and meaning it has in Japan was assessed. The key findings were that the phrase “fair play” came to be used gradually in society but the spread of the concept didn’t reach the physical education curriculum. Educationalists seem to have regarded fair play as learning of “knowledge and attitude”, but the process of “thinking” isn’t included in this interpretation. At the same time, it has been understood by some that the real value of the concept of fair play is where the sports practice unit and the physical education theory unit are linked to influence attitudes and social and life skills not only in school life but also the future lives of students as rounded citizens. The concept of fair play which encapsulates such educational value, as essential to human development (formation of character) as a basic principle of all of education, is therefore considered to be one of the major and essential roles of physical education teaching in modern society. The inclusion of the concept of “fair play” in the physica education curriculum will ensure that the learning outcomes seek to develop the long term health and well being of students as future good citizens. This will mean the previous limited focus on improving physical fitness, sports skill acquisition, and competition will be built on thereby equipping students better for their time in school and in future social life.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
Heavily In doped zinc oxide (IZO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by dip-coating method with different concentrations of indium. The effect of heavy In doping on the structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of ZnO was discussed on the basis of XRD, AFM, UV-Vis spectra and Hall effect measurements. The diffraction patterns of all deposited films were indexed to the ZnO wurtzite structure. However, high In doping damaged the films crystallinity. The highest optical transmittance observed in the visible region (>93 %) exceeded that of ITO: the absolute rival of the most commercial TCOs. The grain size significantly decreased from 140 nm for undoped ZnO to 17.1 nm for IZO with the greatest In ratio. The roughness decreased with increasing In atomic ratio, indicating an improvement in the surface quality. Among all synthesized films, the sample obtained with 11 at.% indium showed the best TCO properties: the highest transmittance (93.5 %) and the lowest resistivity (0.41 Ωcm) with a carrier concentration of 2.4 × 1017 cm−3. These results could be a promising solution for possible photonic and optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Carbon steel is used in large-tonnage petroleum production and refining. In this work, the corrosion behavior of ASTM A106 Grade B carbon steel subjected to sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) environments was studied in a range of sulfate concentrations and different working temperatures. Increasing the sulfate ion content had an inhibiting effect on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel. The highest corrosion rate was detected for electrolytes containing 0.5 M Na2SO4. The influence of temperature was significant on the oxide layer density and stability, while there was the appearance of thick cracked layer as the temperature and the sulfate concentration increased.
Personality and the Social Environment: Contributions to Psychological Adjustment Among Asian and Euro American Students
Authors: Lui P. Priscilla , Vidales Carlos A. , Rollock David 
Published: October 2018

Introduction: Although personality and sociocultural experiences shape how people adapt to changing life circumstances, these factors’ contributions to psychological adjustment outcomes may differ across ethnic groups. Previous research has shown that personality traits predict psychological distress and wellbeing, and people's comfort with their social environments and interpersonal relationships also can be instrumental in understanding their psychological adjustment. Research on personality and on environmental characteristics have tended to focus on Euro Americans and on people of color, respectively; the extent to which campus climate and ethnic group contact predict psychological adjustment above and beyond personality remains understudied and unclear.Method: Relative influences of Big 5 personality and environmental characteristics at a predominantly White college were tested as predictors of psychological adjustment among Asian (N = 412; 48.5% women, Mage= 19.60) and Euro American (N = 277; 47.7% women, Mage= 19.46) students.Results: Measurement invariance tests showed that only a subset of the NEO Five Factor Inventory was equivalent across groups. Hierarchical multiple regressions showed that personality contributed to depression and anxiety symptoms for both groups, but comfort with campus environment and ethnic social comfort were distinctively important predictors of Asians’ psychological adjustment.Discussion: Implications for research, professional services, and university practices are discussed.

Dynamin 1 (dyn1) is required for clathrin-mediated endocytosis in most secretory (neuronal and neuroendocrine) cells. There are two modes of Ca2+-dependent catecholamine release from single dense-core vesicles: full-quantal (quantal) and subquantal in adrenal chromaffin cells, but their relative occurrences and impacts on total secretion remain unclear. To address this fundamental question in neurotransmission area using both sexes of animals, here we report the following: (1) dyn1-KO increased quantal size (QS, but not vesicle size/content) by ≥250% in dyn1-KO mice; (2) the KO-increased QS was rescued by dyn1 (but not its deficient mutant or dyn2); (3) the ratio of quantal versus subquantal events was increased by KO; (4) following a release event, more protein contents were retained in WT versus KO vesicles; and (5) the fusion pore size (dp) was increased from ≤9 to ≥9 nm by KO. Therefore, Ca2+-induced exocytosis is generally a subquantal release in sympathetic adrenal chromaffin cells, implying that neurotransmitter release is generally regulated by dynamin in neuronal cells.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCa2+-dependent neurotransmitter release from a single vesicle is the primary event in all neurotransmission, including synaptic/neuroendocrine forms. To determine whether Ca2+-dependent vesicular neurotransmitter release is “all-or-none” (quantal), we provide compelling evidence that most Ca2+-induced secretory events occur via the subquantal mode in native adrenal chromaffin cells. This subquantal release mode is promoted by dynamin 1, which is universally required for most secretory cells, including neurons and neuroendocrine cells. The present work with dyn1-KO mice further confirms that Ca2+-dependent transmitter release is mainly via subquantal mode, suggesting that subquantal release could be also important in other types of cells.

Published: October 2018

OBJECTIVES:
To determine the association of antibiotic use with weight outcomes in a large cohort of children.

METHODS:
Health care data were available from 2009 to 2016 for 35 institutions participating in the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network. Participant inclusion required same-day height and weight measurements at 0 to &lt;12, 12 to &lt;30, and 48 to &lt;72 months of age. We assessed the association between any antibiotic use at &lt;24 months of age with BMI z score and overweight or obesity prevalence at 48 to &lt;72 months (5 years) of age, with secondary assessments of antibiotic spectrum and age-period exposures. We included children with and without complex chronic conditions.

RESULTS:
Among 1 792 849 children with a same-day height and weight measurement at &lt;12 months of age, 362 550 were eligible for the cohort. One-half of children (52%) were boys, 27% were African American, 18% were Hispanic, and 58% received ≥1 antibiotic prescription at &lt;24 months of age. At 5 years, the mean BMI z score was 0.40 (SD 1.19), and 28% of children had overweight or obesity. In adjusted models for children without a complex chronic condition at 5 years, we estimated a higher mean BMI z score by 0.04 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03 to 0.05) and higher odds of overweight or obesity (odds ratio 1.05; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.07) associated with obtaining any (versus no) antibiotics at &lt;24 months.

CONCLUSIONS:
Antibiotic use at &lt;24 months of age was associated with a slightly higher body weight at 5 years of age.
The contribution of personality factors and gender to ratings of sex addiction among men and women who use the Internet for sex purpose
Authors: Shimoni Lee , Dayan Moria , Cohen Koby , Weinstein Aviv 
Published: October 2018

Background and aims
Sex addiction is characterized by excessive sexual activity on the Internet. We have investigated the contribution of the Big Five personality factors and sex differences to sex addiction.

Methods
A total of 267 participants (186 males and 81 females) were recruited from Internet sites that are used for finding sexual partners. Participants’ mean age was 31 years (SD = 9.8). They filled in the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST), the Big Five Index, and a demographic questionnaire.

Results
Men have shown higher scores of sex addiction than women (Cohen’s d = 0.40), they were more open to experiences (Cohen’s d = 0.42), and they were less neurotic than women (Cohen’s d = 0.67). Personality factors contributed significantly to the variance of sex addiction [F(5, 261) = 6.91, p < .001, R2 = .11]. Openness to experience (β = 0.18) and neuroticism (β = 0.15) had positive correlations with SAST scores, whereas conscientiousness (β = −0.21) had a negative correlation with SAST scores, and personality traits explained 11.7% of the variance. A parallel moderation model of the effect of gender and personality traits on sex addiction explained 19.6% of the variance and it has indicated that conscientiousness had a negative correlation with SAST scores. Greater neuroticism was associated with higher scores of SAST in men but not in women.

Discussion and conclusions
This study confirmed higher scores of sex addiction among males compared to females. Personality factors together with gender contributed to 19.6% of the variance of ratings of sex addiction. Among men, neuroticism was associated with greater propensity for sex addiction.
The Glastonbury Thorn in Vernacular Christianity and Popular Tradition
Authors: Cusack Carole M. 
Published: October 2018

This article considers the most famous English sacred tree, the Glastonbury Thorn, which has a special place in vernacular Christianity and popular folklore. It was part of the pilgrimage site at Glastonbury during the Middle Ages and after the Reformation, Puritan soldiers chopped it down during the Civil War (1642-1651). However, elaborate folklore concerning the Thorn developed between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. according to these tales, Jesus came to Britain with his mother's uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, who planted the Glastonbury Thorn. The Thorn is considered miraculous, as it flowers twice yearly, with the second flowering in winter at Christmas. It also plays multiple roles in England's past and present. For example, all Christian traditions that assert that Jesus walked on soil other than that of the Middle East are engaged in the sacralization of territory, the transformation of the periphery into the center. English tales that claim Jesus visited Somerset and Cornwall bestow upon England the status of a 'Holy Land'. Further, the Thorn is part of the web of connections linking Glastonbury with the English Crown. This article considers the symbolism of the Glastonbury Thorn and assembleshistorical accounts, folklore, and popular cultural practices to investigate its historical importance and its contemporary significance.
Financial Development and Economic Growth in BRICS Countries and Turkey: A Panel Data Analysis
Authors: ERKİŞİ Kemal 
Published: October 2018

In the last few decades, although there have been many studies examined the relationship between financial development and economic growth, it seems that no consensus has been reached due to the diversity of variables and the methods used in the analyses. This article examines the relationship between financial development and economic growth (GDP) by using panel data analysis for BRICS Countries and Turkey. The analysis covers 21 years between 1996-2016. Variables used for financial development are Morgan Stanley Capital International Index (MSCI), Credits (CREDIT), money supply (BMONEY), foreign trade (TRADE). According to the result of the analysis; MSCI is the only variable that statistically significant and so affects GDP positively both in the long-term and the short-term. BMONEY and TRADE variables are statistically significant in the short-term, but not in the long-term. While TRADE affects GDP positively, BMONEY affects growth negatively in the short-term. CREDIT is not statistically significant neither in the short-term nor in the long-term. There is unidirectional causality from MSCI to GDP, from GDP to MBROAD, from MSCI to TRADE and from MBROAD to TRADE. There is not a causality between MBROAD and MSCI, while there is a bidirectional causality between TRADE and GDP. Therefore, it is not certain if financial growth is the determinant of economic growth for selected variables and the countries in the period of 1996-2016.
