PARTICIPATION AND PERFORMANCES IN COMPETITIONS: LATVIAN ORIENTEERING DEVELOPMENT EVIDENCE
Authors: Smila Baiba , Fernāte Andra 
Published: May 2017

Previous efforts to depict sport development opportunities resulted in a sport development metaphor, the participation pyramid (Sotiriadou, Shilbury & Quick, 2008). The base of the sport development metaphor represents the relationship between mass and elite participation (Shilbury, Sotiriadou & Green, 2008) and medals won during the Olympic Games (Sotiriadou, De Bosscher, 2013). The most important international competitions may, therefore, best represent overall sport systems (Sparvero, Chalip, & Green, 2008), but competition opportunities for athletes are the factor contributing to elite success. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between mass and elite orienteers’ participation and elite orienteers’ performances at the most important national and international orienteering competitions. Methods: the official most important orienteering national and international competition results from 2001 to 2016 were obtained from the websites of each annual organizing committee, linked to the International Orienteering Federation website and mathematical statistics was conducted. The results confirmed a strong, medium and weak relationship between mass and elite orienteers’ participation and elite orienteers’ performances in the most important national and international orienteering competitions. Orienteers’ movement up the participation pyramid is not automatic.

Authors: Čuprika Aleksandra , Fernāte Andra , Čupriks Leonīds 
Published: May 2017

Fitness as a healthy lifestyle implementation helps to improve the social, mental and physical well-being components. Several scientists have indicated that there is a connection between social belonging and physical activity (PA) as the structural component of a healthy lifestyle (Walseth, 2006; Walseth & Fasting, 2004; Antonsich, 2010; Yuval-Davis, 2006; Anthias, 2006; Pinquart & Sorensen, 2001; Everard et. al., 2000). That is why the goal of the research is to develop and apply a social belonging promotion programme for women in fitness programme and to determine the changes in the lifestyle structural component health promoting PA. 10 women involved in fitness classes in small groups (2-4 people) participated in the case study, where in addition to PA social belonging promotion events were organized for all women together. In order to evaluate the structural components of social belonging and PA level and type, questionnaires adapted in Latvia and a semi-structured interview was used. Applying the social belonging promotion programme for women in fitness creates statistically significant changes in such structural components as sense of commitment (p<0.01), perception of interpersonal relations (p<0.01). By additionally promoting social belonging in fitness, women perceive the group better, are willing to spend more time with it; that, in turn, positively affects the willingness to be physically and socially active on a daily basis.

THE EFFECT OF ADMINISTERING RHIZOME EXTRACT OF CURCUMA (Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Roxb.) AT VARIOUS DOSES ON THE THICKNESS OF VAGINAL EPITHELIUM IN MICE (Mus Musculus) EXPOSED TO MSG
Authors: Atmaja Ria Ramadhani Dwi 
Published: May 2017

<p><em>The us</em><em>age</em><em> of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) as flavour enhancer in food is increasing and has reached alarming condition. Excessive consumption of MSG results in the formation of a number of free radicals in the body and affects the function of hypothalamus. A disturbed hypothalamus results in the decline of estrogen levels, and in turn, this estrogen deficiency causes a decrease in vaginal epithelial proliferation in which epithelial cells become thinner. Giving antioxidants might help to address these problems. One of the plants that is rich in antioxidant and grow in mass in Indonesia is curcuma. This study is aimed at analyzing the effect of giving curcuma extract (Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Roxb.) with varying doses on the thickness of vaginal epithelium in mice that are exposed to MSG. The research design employed in the study is true experimental posttest only control group by using 5 groups, namely: K1 (CMC-Na), K2 (MSG), P1 (MSG + curcuma rhizome extract dose of 0,4mg/gr BW), P2 (MSG + curcuma rhizome extract dose of 0,8mg/gr BW), P3 (MSG + curcuma rhizome extract dose of 1,2mg/gr BW). Vagina of each mouse was taken and studied to measure its epithelial thickness by using a 40x magnification on Olympus micrograph microscope. Data were then analyzed using One Way ANOVA. The results show that there is no significant difference in the thickness of vaginal epithelium in each treatment (ρ-value 0.341). Therefore, it can be concluded that the extract of curcuma rhizome does not have a significant influence on the thickness of vaginal epithelium in mice that are exposed to MSG.</em><em></em></p><p> </p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="432"><p><strong>Keywords :</strong><em> MSG, Curcuma Xanthorrhiza, epithelium, vagina.</em></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

We propose a remote surface measurement system that uses a laser to inspect tunnel walls.To prevent accidents caused by aging parts of the transportation infrastructure, such as tunnels and bridges, the maintenance of such structures has grown in importance. Although these structures are checked by human inspectors, it is hoped that the process can be further automated through the development of remote sensing technologies.In this article, we focus on the detection of cracks on tunnel surfaces. As the concrete surfaces of tunnels can have many discolored areas, the precision of conventional remote inspection methods based on digital cameras is limited.Employing a frequency-shifted feedback (FSF) laser to overcome this difficulty, we adopt three measurement principles: reflectance imaging, 3D measurement, and spectroscopy. We have realized high spatial resolution, which is essential to our purpose. Using reflectance imaging, we have detected cracks of more than 200μm in width on a concrete surface. Using 3D measurement with an FSF laser, we have detected as 3D shape a 0.35 mm crack on an actual concrete surface. We also have detected the presence of water on a concrete surface using 2.95μm mid-infrared light in the laboratory.We discuss the use of our system to reliably detect 0.2-mm-wide cracks on the basis of experimental results. The measurement results for the reference targets and real concrete are described.

<div><p><em>The study explores the worker’s perception with respect to their compensation structure. The current study tries to explore the various dimensions associated with the compensation structure and other job related variables and personal variables. This empirical study tries to probe the relationship between pay satisfaction and the level of motivation exhibited by workmen in manufacturing industries. Similarly the role played by personal variables such as age, tenure on the job, and their association with pay satisfaction is also undertaken. The study is carried out in North Karnataka in cities like Belgaum, Hubli, Dharwad, Bijapur, Bagalkot, Gadag &amp; Gulbarga. 384 contractual workmen across different manufacturing organizations were surveyed to find out the relationship between the various dimensions. The collected data was subjected to chi-square analysis and independent t test. The analysis revealed that there is a strong association between workmen age, nature of employment, motivational levels and their compensation structure. But, it was found out that there was no relationship between tenure on the job and pay satisfaction. </em></p></div>
Diversity in eMental Health Practice: An Exploratory Qualitative Study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Service Providers
Authors: Bird Jennifer , Rotumah Darlene , Bennett-Levy James , Singer Judy 
Published: May 2017

Background
In Australia, mental health services are undergoing major systemic reform with eMental Health (eMH) embedded in proposed service models for all but those with severe mental illness. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service providers have been targeted as a national priority for training and implementation of eMH into service delivery. Implementation studies on technology uptake in health workforces identify complex and interconnected variables that influence how individual practitioners integrate new technologies into their practice. To date there are only two implementation studies that focus on eMH and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service providers. They suggest that the implementation of eMH in the context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations may be different from the implementation of eMH with allied health professionals and mainstream health services.

Objective
The objective of this study is to investigate how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service providers in one regional area of Australia used eMH resources in their practice following an eMH training program and to determine what types of eMH resources they used.

Methods
Individual semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 16 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service providers. Interviews were co-conducted by one indigenous and one non-indigenous interviewer. A sample of transcripts were coded and thematically analyzed by each interviewer and then peer reviewed. Consensus codes were then applied to all transcripts and themes identified.

Results
It was found that 9 of the 16 service providers were implementing eMH resources into their routine practice. The findings demonstrate that participants used eMH resources for supporting social inclusion, informing and educating, assessment, case planning and management, referral, responding to crises, and self and family care. They chose a variety of types of eMH resources to use with their clients, both culturally specific and mainstream. While they referred clients to online treatment programs, they used only eMH resources designed for mobile devices in their face-to-face contact with clients.

Conclusions
This paper provides Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander service providers and the eMH field with findings that may inform and guide the implementation of eMH resources. It may help policy developers locate this workforce within broader service provision planning for eMH. The findings could, with adaptation, have wider application to other workforces who work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. The findings highlight the importance of identifying and addressing the particular needs of minority groups for eMH services and resources.
Soft Law, Solid Implementation? The Influence of Precision, Monitoring and Stakeholder Involvement on Norwegian Implementation of Arctic Council Recommendations
Authors: Soltvedt Ida Folkestad 
Published: May 2017

The Arctic Council has been criticized for its lack of legal status and, consequently, the supposedly low level of implementation among member states. Studying Norwegian implementation of six Arctic Council recommendations, this article challenges that view. I start by assuming that international law is not binary, that soft law is not a uniform phenomenon, and that soft law recommendations may entail certain characteristics—precision, monitoring, and stakeholder involvement—that can enhance their implementation nationally. Additionally, malignancy—an important barrier to national implementation—is taken into account. The Norwegian authorities have implemented several of the recommendations studied, and the characteristics are found to have a bearing on the outcomes. However, the absence of malignancy stands out as the most significant condition for achieving national implementation.(Published: May 2017)Citation: Ida Folkestad Soltvedt. “Soft Law, Solid Implementation?

Mitigating the Risks of Resource Extraction for Industrial Actors and Northern Indigenous Peoples
Authors: Lerner Alexis Monique , Koshurina Victoria , Chistanova Olga , Wheeler Angela 
Published: May 2017

A collaborative relationship between native peoples and industrial corporations–two actors that value resource-rich land–is of vital importance for both the United States and the Russian Federation. A strong partnership between industrial and indigenous actors can help to ensure not only the stability of extractive projects, but also the protection of indigenous groups from the potentially existential threats associated with territorial loss. Cooperation between these two parties gains urgency as extractive corporations begin to explore the Arctic, a region of the world already home to over two dozen unique indigenous communities. In both the United States and the Russian Federation, there are legal precedents for negotiations regarding indigenous rights, natural resources, and the fuel-energy complex. Even so, parties involved in the extractive process frequently stray from these national and international legal guidelines. Our paper seeks to answer the question: why might rational actors–here, indigenous and industrial communities that are motivated by their preferences–fail to cooperate on extractive projects, even when robust collaborative agreements benefit all sides? We suggest that the explanation is twofold: first, indigenous land rights lack the consistency which may give indigenous communities control over their resources and cultural preservation; and second, a neutral and objective third-party mediator–whether in the form of a state or an international body–is often silent in, or absent from, the negotiation process, thereby undermining its authority to ensure fair and reasonable deliberations. Our findings can offer important insights for community-corporate relations, not only in the Arctic, but worldwide.(Published: May 2017)Citation: A.M.

A Role for Authority Supervision in Impact Assessment? Examples from Finnish EIA Reviews
Authors: Solbär Lovisa , Keskitalo E. Carina H. 
Published: May 2017

With the boom in mining in Fennoscandia, reconciliation of competing land use interests in governance procedures such as impact assessment has come to the fore. One of the functions that has been applied to varying degrees in national frameworks is supervision of the procedure by a responsible authority. This paper examines review statements issued in the context of mining project assessments in northern Finland – one of the countries implementing authority supervision. The study shows that third-party review may play a role in highlighting the importance of competing land use interest such as reindeer herding. Attention to such interests, however, remains limited by the application of spatial planning in the case and by consent processing, up until the end of the period examined. Among the lessons for impact assessment is the need for methodologies for accommodating anticipatory types of (practice-based and non-scientific) information. Unless these types of sources are considered valid, the possibility of substantializing anticipation and finding solutions along those lines will be missed, with the risk of making things on the ground worse before the need for mitigation measures is comprehended in the face of materializing impacts.(Published: May 2017)Citation: L.

Uticaj Trombovog zida na potrošnju energije za grejanje i hlađenje kuće neto nula potrošnje fosilne energije
Authors: Malešević Jovan , Cvetković Dragan 
Published: May 2017

Ovaj rad se bavi izučavanjem uticaja Trombovog zida na grejanje i hlađenje kuće neto nulte potrošnje energije. Kuća neto nulte potrošnje energije sastoji se iz šest prostorija koje se greju i hlade i nalazi se na području Beograda. Trombov zid, kao pasivni solarni sistem, postavljen je na južnu vertikalnu stranu kuće, kao i na južni kosi deo krova. Osnovni model za simulaciju je kuća bez Trombovog zida. Simulacija je urađena i za modele kuće sa vertikalnim Trombovim zidom, za model kuće sa kosim Trombovim zidom i za model kuće sa oba ova Trombova zida. Kuće, kao i grejanje i hlađenje u njima, modeliraju se pomoću softvera EnergyPlus. Za grejanje i hlađenje koristi se električna energija. Radi uštede energije, na svakom grejnon telu i sobnom klimatizeru nalaze se termostatski ventili. Simulacija je urađena za celu godinu. Za sve kuće, kao i za odgovarajuće prostorije u njima, porede se temperature i utrošak energije. Simulacijom se dobija ušteda energije za grejanje i hlađenje oko 15% pri upotrebi Trombovog zida.
