Purpose: To analyze the factors associated with commuting by bicycling and walking in adult participants from ELSA-Brasil (Longitudinal Study of Adult Health). Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Six teaching/research institutions throughout Brazil. Participants: A total of 15 105 civil servants. Measures: Commuting by bicycling and walking was analyzed using the long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Analysis: A hierarchical model containing possible factors associated with commuting by bicycling and walking was constructed. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated using multinomial logistic regression. Results: Considering the 2 forms of commuting, 66% of the participants were being considered inactive or insufficiently active. In women, being “heavier,” feeling unsafe practicing physical activity, and being a former smoker were factors negatively associated with commuting by bicycling and walking. In men, active commuting was less common among those who were overweight or had abdominal obesity, those with a negative perception of safety, and those reporting that there was nowhere suitable in the neighborhood to practice physical activity. Conclusion: Obesity and negative perceptions in the neighborhood are associated with inactive or insufficiently active commuting. The relevance of this finding for public health is reinforce developing policies aimed at promoting health in Brazil and in other countries with similar characteristics.

Authors: Lu Xiao , Wu DingQian , Gao YuZhi , Zhang Mao 
Published: November 2017

Objective: We assessed the evolution of lung aeration by “Lung Ultrasound Score” to predict the acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with paraquat intoxication. Methods: Patients with paraquat intoxication treated in the intensive care unit were reviewed. Patients who had been assessed by transthoracic lung ultrasound at 3 time points as day 1, day 3, and day 7 after the treatment were analyzed. Lung aeration was represented by the lung ultrasound score. The relationship of the score with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome was evaluated. Results: There were 50 patients included. On day 7, 18 patients developed the acute respiratory distress syndrome. The acute respiratory distress syndrome patients demonstrated a higher mortality rate than that for the non-acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (88.9% vs 31.5%, p < 0.001). In addition, the acute respiratory distress syndrome patients not only had a higher creatinine level (p < 0.001), and Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment 48-h scores (p < 0.001), and a longer time to gastric lavage but also suffered from a lower PaO2/FiO2 (p < 0.001) and a higher lung ultrasound score (p < 0.001) compared to those in the non-acute respiratory distress syndrome patients. The decrease in PaO2/FiO2 between day 3 and day 7 correlated with the increase in lung ultrasound score between day 3 and day 7. There was also a significant correlation between the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score and lung ultrasound score in acute respiratory distress syndrome patient on day 7. Conclusion: The transthoracic lung ultrasound may be a useful tool for lung aeration assessment on patients with paraquat intoxication receiving treatment. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of this screening strategy on predicting acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Published: November 2017

Introduction Capecitabine is a fluoropyrimidine commonly used in the treatment of colorectal cancer which may cause central nervous system toxicity, namely cerebellar dysfunction. Case report We describe a 77-year-old man undergoing adjuvant treatment of colon cancer with capecitabine and oxaliplatin who presented with acute cerebellar ataxia and encephalopathy that progressed to coma. Diagnosis of toxic encephalopathy was made after the exclusion of alternative causes of neurological dysfunction and complete resolution of clinical findings with permanent discontinuation of chemotherapy. Discussion When patients with cancer develop symptoms and signs of central nervous dysfunction, metabolic and infectious causes plus tumor involvement of central nervous system must be sought. However, chemotherapy may also cause toxicity to the central nervous system. Capecitabine is no exception, although cerebellar dysfunction is rarely reported. Conclusion Although rare, capecitabine-induced encephalopathy may be severe and physicians should be aware of this possible side effect.
Improving Outcomes for Lower Extremity Amputations Using Intraoperative Fluorescent Angiography to Predict Flap Viability
Authors: Yang Andrew E. , Hartranft Charles A. , Reiss Alisha , Holden Charles R. 
Published: November 2017

Objectives: Nearly 25% of vascular surgery patients operated on for peripheral vascular disease are readmitted within 30 days. Development of adjuncts to minimize wound complications remains an area of great interest. Here, we present our experience with intraoperative fluorescent angiography (IFA) as a tool to predict skin flap viability following lower extremity amputations (LEAs). Methods: Experience with IFA using indocyanine green (ICG) dye was reviewed retrospectively at a single institution. Records of patients undergoing LEA with use of IFA by 2 vascular surgeons from 2013 to 2014 were reviewed. Absolute and relative tissue perfusion values were evaluated for sensitivity and specificity in regard to skin flap viability. Results: Thirteen patients with a mean age of 70.5 years (standard deviation [SD] = 12.0, range: 49-93 years) underwent 17 amputations. Indications included rest pain, tissue gangrene, and vascular disease unsuitable for revascularization. Amputation levels included toe (23%), transmetatarsal (18%), below knee (41%), and above knee (18%). Six (35%) amputations required revision with a mean time-to-revision of 26.1 days (SD = 19.9, range: 9-61 days). Of these revisions, 14 (83%) patients proceeded to a proximal-level amputation. Mean follow-up was 235 days (SD = 148, range: 5-448 days), and IFA was used in all cases. Absolute perfusion values (APVs) between 5 and 9 displayed sensitivity and specificity of 50% and 64%, respectively. Additionally, a relative perfusion value (RPV) of ≤31% displayed 100% sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity and specificity fell to 83% at a relative perfusion of ≤27% and ≤35%, respectively. Conclusion: IFA during LEA is safe and easily performed by the vascular surgeon. The RPVs as a predictor of skin flap viability correlate well with those reported in breast reconstructive surgery. Unfortunately, APVs fail to support any predication for flap failure or success. Patient comorbidities and intraoperative variables such as vasopressor use may contribute to this finding.

Published: November 2017

IntroductionEndoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection are demanding procedures. This study aims to establish face, content and expert validity of the live porcine model in performing endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, complication management and to assess it as a training tool.Material and methodsTutors and trainees participating in live porcine model endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection workshops filled out a questionnaire regarding the realism of the model compared to human setting and its role as a learning tool. A 10‐point Likert scale was used.ResultsNinety‐one endoscopists (13 tutors; 78 trainees) were involved in four workshops. Median global classifications for the realism of the life porcine model ranged between 7.0–8.0 (interquartile range 5.0–9.0). Procedures resembled human cases with a median of 9.0 (8.0–9.0) for oesophageal multiband endoscopic mucosal resection; 8.5 (8.0–9.0) for oesophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection; 9.0 (8.0–10.0) for gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection; and 9.0 (8.5–9.75 and 8.0–9.69) for complication detection and management. The animal model as a learning tool had median scores of 9.0 (7.0–10.0) considering how procedures are performed; 9.0–9.5 (8.0–10.0) for usefulness for beginners; and 9.0–10.0 (5.0–10.0) regarding it a prerequisite.ConclusionsTraining in a live porcine model was considered very realistic compared to the human setting and was highly appreciated as a learning tool. This is the first study to establish face, content and expert validity of the live porcine model in performing multiband endoscopic mucosal resection, oesophageal and gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection. The validation of this model provides the rationale to incorporate it into formal teaching programmes.

Published: November 2017

Purpose: To determine the orientation of lumbar zygapophyseal joints and prevalence of facet tropism (FT) identified by computerized tomographic (CT) scans. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 124 CT scans of patients with spinal injuries, seen between 2011and 2015, were retrospectively studied. A total of 566 uninjured motion segments were analysed. The right and left zygapophyseal joint angles (ZJAs) from L1–L2 to L5–S1 were measured on axial sections at uninjured levels. The absolute difference between the right and left ZJA was calculated to determine the prevalence and severity of FT at each level. Results: The mean ZJA (mean ± SD) at L1–L2, L2–L3, L3–L4, L4–L5 and L5–S1 was 23.55 ± 7.21, 27.97 ± 6.95, 39.47 ± 6.07, 48.32 ± 6.38 and 53.45 ± 6.67, respectively. Prevalence of FT at L1–L2, L2–L3, L3–L4, L4–L5 and L5–S1 was 22.42%, 25%, 27.19%, 47.82% and 38.5%, respectively. One-way repeated analysis of variance test showed a statistically significant difference in mean ZJA ( p < 0.05) and prevalence of FT ( p < 0.05) at different levels of the lumbar spine. Conclusions: This study confirms that ZJA is not the same at different levels of the lumbar spine. The mean ZJA progressively increases from L1–L2 to L5–S1. This could explain the greater range of movements in the lumbar spine at the lower levels. The higher prevalence of FT at L4–L5 and L5–S1 seen in this study could explain the greater incidence of disc prolapse and other degenerative disorders at these levels.

AbstractA dislocated cone metric space over Banach algebra is introduced as a generalisation of a cone metric space over Banach algebra as well as a dislocated metric space. Fixed point theorems for Perov-type α-quasi contraction mapping, Kannan-type contraction as well as Chatterjee-type contraction mappings are proved in a dislocated cone metric space over Banach algebra. Proper examples are provided to establish the validity of our claims.
The Effects of a Physical Education Intervention to Support the Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs on the Motivation and Intentions to Be Physically Active
Authors: Franco Evelia , Coterón Javier 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of an intervention to support the basic psychological needs on the satisfaction of these needs, intrinsic motivation, intention to be physically active and some enjoyment-related outcomes in Physical Education. The present study incorporated strategies presented by Standage and Ryan (2012) in a previous study. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with two groups (nexperimental = 30; ncontrol = 23) of 2nd year Secondary Education students aged between 13 and 15 (M = 13.35, SD = .62) by delivering 24 physical education classes. The teacher in the experimental group underwent prior and continual training. The results revealed that the students from the experimental group showed a significant increase in the perception of autonomy and competence. Furthermore, the experimental group showed a greater perception than the control group in the enjoyment related to learning and contents. These results provide information about the efficacy of an intervention programme based on the strategies presented by Standage and Ryan (2012) to foster satisfaction of basic psychological needs and facilitate support for basic psychological needs to promote the development of positive learning-related outcomes.
Middle and Elementary School Students’ Changes in Self-Determined Motivation in a Basketball Unit Taught using the Tactical Games Model
Authors: Harvey Stephen , Gil-Arias Alexander , Smith Megan Lorraine , Smith Lindsey Rachel 
Published: November 2017

AbstractStudies examining student motivation levels suggest that this is a significant factor in students’ engagement in physical education and may be positively affected when teachers employ alternative pedagogical models such as game-centered approaches (GCAs). The aim of this study was to investigate changes in self-determined motivation of students as they participated in a GCA-basketball unit taught using the Tactical Games Model (TGM). Participants were 173 students (84 girls), 79 middle school (45 girls) and 94 (39 girls) elementary school students from four seventh and five fourth/fifth grade co-educational classes. Two teachers taught 32 (middle) and 33 (elementary) level one TGM basketball lessons. Need satisfaction and self-determined motivation data were collected using a previously validated instrument, while lesson context and teacher behavior data were recorded using systematic observation instruments. Repeated measures MANOVAs were employed to examine pre-posttest differences. Results revealed a significant main effect for time in need satisfaction for both middle (relatedness increased) and elementary school students (autonomy decreased) and a significant main effect in self-determined motivation for middle school students only (introjected regulation, external regulation, and amotivation all increased). Approximately 48%/42% (middle/elementary) of lesson time was game play, 22%/22% skill practice, 17%/17% management, and 13%/19% knowledge. The primary teacher behaviors used were instruction, management, specific observation, corrective feedback and modelling. Results indicate that it is important for future research to pay greater attention to the contextual factors associated with the application of the TGM, such as the students’ previous exposure to TGM lessons, and the teachers’ training and experience in utilizing the TGM. Indeed, results of the present study demonstrate that a longer-term commitment to the TGM is necessary to reduce controlling teacher behaviors, which will lead to positive changes in students’ need satisfaction and self-determined motivation. Future research is therefore needed to embrace this challenge to provide an increased evidence-base for GCAs such as the TGM.

Abstract
The official reports on doping behavior in kickboxing are alarming, but there have been no empirical studies that examined this problem directly. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, gender differences and covariates of potential-doping-behavior, in kickboxing athletes. A total of 130 high-level kickboxing athletes (92 males, 21.37 ± 4.83 years of age, 8.39 ± 5.73 years of training experience; 38 women, 20.31 ± 2.94 years of age; 9.84 ± 4.74 years of training experience) completed questionnaires to study covariates and potential-doping behavior. The covariates were: sport factors (i.e. experience, success), doping-related factors (i.e. opinion about penalties for doping users, number of doping testing, potential-doping-behavior, etc.), sociodemographic variables, task- and ego-motivation, knowledge on sports nutrition, and knowledge on doping. Gender-based differences were established by independent t-tests, and the Mann-Whitney test. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed to define the relationships between covariates and a tendency toward potential-doping behavior (positive tendency – neutral – negative tendency). The potential-doping behavior was higher in those athletes who perceived kickboxing as doping contaminated sport. The more experienced kickboxers were associated with positive intention toward potential-doping behavior. Positive intention toward potential-doping behavior was lower in those who had better knowledge on sports nutrition. The task- and ego-motivation were not associated to potential-doping behavior. Because of the high potential-doping-behavior (less than 50% of athletes showed a negative tendency toward doping), and similar prevalence of potential-doping behavior between genders, this study highlights the necessity of a systematic anti-doping campaign in kickboxing. Future studies should investigate motivational variables as being potentially related to doping behavior in younger kickboxers.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
This study investigated the changes in mental strategies across the season and their effects on performance and satisfaction with individual performance. Data were collected three times: at the pre-season at Time 1 (T1; baseline), in the mid-season at Time 2 (T2; two-month follow-up), and at the end-of-season at Time 3 (T3; nine-month follow-up) among male soccer players (N = 97) aged 16-27. Athletes completed the questionnaires assessing the use of nine psychological strategies in competition and the level of satisfaction with individual performance. Endurance performance was measured objectively with a 300 m run. A high level of relaxation (T1) explained better 300 m run performance (T3) and a high level of self-talk explained a higher satisfaction with individual performance (T3). A rare use of distractibility and emotional control (T1) predicted a higher level of satisfaction with individual performance (T3). No predictive role of other psychological strategies was found. The use of emotional control, relaxation, and distractibility increased over the season, whereas the use of imagery and negative thinking declined. Besides the roles of self-talk, imagery, relaxation and goal-setting, the effects of distractibility and emotional control should be taken into account when considering athletes’ mental training programs.
Does Context, Practice or Competition Affect Female Athletes’ Achievement Goal Dominance, Goal Pursuit, Burnout and Motivation?
Authors: Fernández-Rio Javier , Cecchini Jose A. , Méndez-Giménez Antonio 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The goal of this study was to assess the effects of two different achievement sport contexts, practice and competition, on the motivational profile of professional/semi-professional athletes. Forty-eight Spanish national/international-level female athletes (basketball = 18; handball = 12; soccer = 11; volleyball = 7), mean age 25.14 ± 3.43 years, agreed to participate in the study. They completed a questionnaire, prior and after training and competition, to assess achievement goals, achievement goal dominance, goal pursuit, motivational climate, motivation, burnout and perceived recovery-exertion. Data analyses revealed that, both in practice and competition, these team-sport athletes overwhelmingly showed a strong mastery-approach achievement goal in dominance as well as in pursuit. A significant finding was that this group of national/international-level, professional/semi-professional athletes not only adopted a mastery-approach achievement goal, but they also actively pursued it. It is also remarkable that this profile remained stable at post-tests, even after a painful defeat in competition, which produced a significant negative effect on the athletes’ burnout (emotional and physical exhaustion and devaluation of sport participation) and self-determined motivation. As expected, the difference between total recovery and perceived exertion significantly increased after practice and competition. National/international-level team-sport professional/semi-professional female athletes held and pursue stable mastery-approach goal dominance.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Since especially the automotive domain increasingly utilizes multi- and many-core systems, appropriate models, analyses, and tooling are required to address challenges that were nearly non existent so far.
APP4MC is an open source Eclipse platform that provides AUTOSAR compliant common data models namely AMALTHEA, basic parallelization features, visualizations, and the great possibility to add any existing tooling. For example, Eclipse Capra can be added to provide comprehensive traceability throughout the development processes but any proprietary, commercial, open-source, or prototypical implementations can be integrated. The platform enables the creation and management of complex tool chains including performance simulation and validation.
The entire community benefits from reduced hardware costs, faster time to market, higher quality systems, and rapid adoption. APP4MC is not retricted to the automotive domain and utilizable in robotics or generic real-time systems as well.
