Body composition in male physical education university students in view of their physical activity level
Authors: Stachoń Aleksandra , Pietraszewska Jadwiga 
Published: October 2013

PurposeBody composition and fat distribution is specific for particular populations and social groups. However, one factor that significantly affects body composition is physical activity. The aim of the study was to assess the various components of body composition in male physical education students with regard to their physical activity level.MethodsA detailed questionnaire survey on physical activity was administered to 252 male students. Based on their responses, the participants were placed into two groups engaged in either moderate or vigorous physical activity. Anthropometric measurements included measures of body height and mass and also skinfold thickness. Body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Statistical analysis was performed by comparing the groups’ mean values, standard deviations, and percentages of the components of body composition.ResultsThe groups did not differ significantly for mean body height and mass. No statistically significant differences were found in the absolute amounts of the various components of body composition (except for fat mass) between the groups. Both groups had 61.5 kg of fat-free mass (constituting 80.6% of body mass for the vigorously active and 78.7% of body mass for the moderately active students) and both had 44 kg of muscle mass (constituting 58.3% and 56.1% of body mass, respectively). Students who declared to be involved in vigorous physical activity had 2 kg less and 2% lower fat mass than those involved in moderate physical activity (based on BIA measurements). Measures of skinfold thickness found more subcutaneous fat tissue in the vigorously active group, but the use of a fat index based on body height found them to present less fat.ConclusionsThe difference in fat content between physical education students who were more or less physically active was found to be 2 kg and 2%. The results found that physical activity level was not associated with body height, body mass, and the absolute amounts of the other studied components of body composition.
Laterality of lower limbs during V2 Al ternate in Nordic combined athletes
Authors: Jandová Soňa , Charousek Jan 
Published: October 2013

PurposeThe aim of this study was to analyse the foot pressure distribution by cross-country skiers during the push-off phase when using the V2 Alternate skating technique depending on lower limb preference. The study also focused on whether push-off during V2 Alternate would be performed more quickly and in a shorter time interval by the dominant leg than the non-dominant leg.MethodsData were collected using a pedographic system together with synchronised video recording. Conventional dialogistic methods used in kinanthropology were used to detect the lower-limb lateral preference.ResultsStatistically significant differences in the vertical component of force produced by the right/leg lower limbs was observed. However, no statistically significant differences were present in the duration when weight was transferred to one of the lower limbs.ConclusionsAlthough V2 Alternate is a movement task that is considered to be symmetrical (where left and right leg push-off should be practically identical), the results of the study proved otherwise. In practice, this implies that the explosive force capabilities of cross-country skiers should be trained especially for the non-dominant leg so as to ensure that a fully adequate push-off can be conducted during two-sided skating.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of training with added respiratory dead space volume (ARDSV) on changes in a breathing pattern and cycling efficiency.MethodsTwenty road cyclists were equally divided into an experimental (E) and control (C) group. All of them were involved in a training program that included endurance training (at moderate intensity) and interval training (at maximal intensity). During semi-weekly endurance training, ARDSV (1000cm3 tube) was introduced in the experimental group. Respiratory parameters, including, among others, oxygen uptake (VO<SUB>2</SUB>), carbon dioxide excretion (VCO<SUB>2</SUB>), end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PETCO<SUB>2</SUB>), pulmonary ventilation (VE), tidal volume (TV) and total work done during the tests (W), were measured before and after the experiment by a progressive and continuous test.ResultsHigher PETCO<SUB>2</SUB> and TV in both groups during the progressive and continuous tests were observed. VCO<SUB>2</SUB> increased in group E during continuous test, while for group C only in the first four minutes of the test. VO<SUB>2</SUB> and VE increased only in group E during submaximal and maximal exercise. Total work increased during the continuous test in both groups (significantly higher in group C than E). However, total work during the progressive test increased only in group E.ConclusionsTraining with ARDSV improved exercise capacity at maximal effort and was associated with an increase in maximal oxygen uptake. On the other hand, this type of training lead to a decrease in cycling efficiency, reducing in effect the benefits associated with an increase in VO<SUB>2</SUB>max and reducing the ability to perform submaximal effort.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper is the study of the behaviour of passivity based control and difficulties due to synthesis for various operating conditions of a synchronous motor with a permanent magnets. The study takes into account the guarantee of satisfactory static and dynamic performance. It also allows the system to be insensitive to disturbances and uncertainties on the parameters. A number of estimation techniques have been developed to achieve speed and position sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. Most of them suffer from variation of motor parameters such as the stator resistance, stator inductance and torque constant. Also it is known that conventional linear estimators are not adaptive variations of the operating point in a nonlinear system.
THE PREVALENCE OF PAI-1 4G/5G POLYMORPHISM IN WOMEN WITH FETAL LOSS – FIRST DATA FOR A SERBIAN POPULATION / UČESTALOST POLIMORFIZMA PAI-1 4G/5G KOD ŽENA SA SPONTANIM POBAČAJEM - PRVI PODACI ZA SRPSKU POPULACIJU

Summary
Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is an inhibitor of fibrinolysis. The PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism is associated with elevated plasma levels of PAI-1. Over- expression of PAI-1 and impaired fibrinolysis in homozygous carriers of the 4G/4G PAI polymorphism may lead to abnor- mal placental formation and increased risk of fetal loss (FL). The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of this polymorphism in patients with FL in a Serbian population.
Methods: The study was carried out in a group of 203 women (91 controls and 112 women with FL). The presence of PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism was detected by PCR-RFLP analysis.
Results: Slightly increased frequency of the PAI-1 4G/4G genotype was observed in the study group compared to the controls (32.1% vs. 30.8%). The frequency of PAI-1 was highest in women experiencing FL in the second trimester of pregnancy (50%), but this difference was not statistically sig- nificant.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that PAI-1 4G/4G might be a risk factor for FL occurring in the second trimester of pregnancy. Further studies are required in order to determine the role of PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism in the etiology of FL.

Summary
Background: Birth involves strong oxidative stress for the infant, implying an increased production of free radicals. The aims of this study were to assess the antioxidant response to oxidative insult at birth, by estimating the superoxide dismu- tase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in umbilical cord blood, and to evaluate their dependency on the degree of maturation of the newborns.
Methods: In the present study, 60 preterm infants (study group) as well as a full-term healthy reference group (A=53) were included. Additionally, the preterms were divided in 3 groups according to their condition at the end of the 1st week of life: preterm control (B=25), on oxygen support (C= 18), and ventilated group (D= 17).
Results: The obtained results indicate markedly lower antioxidant capacity of the preterm infants: they had significantly lower SOD and GPX activity than the full-term infants (pcO.OOl, for both). Investigated antioxidants also showed significant differences between the groups of preterms. SOD activity was higher in preterms with postnatal respiratory fail- ure compared to preterm control (p<0.001). On the con- trary, GPX activity was decreased in the oxygen supported group (10%) and even more in the ventilated group (28.5%) (p< 0.001, for both). The newborns enzyme activities were also profoundly modulated by the gestational age and birth weight, specifically the GPX.
Conclusions: Because of their deficient and inadequate antioxidant protection, preterm newborns are more suscep- tible to oxidant injury at birth.

ABSTRACT
A target screening method for the detection of 13 synthetic cannabinoids in whole blood was developed and validated. Samples
underwent automated solid-phase extraction, and sample extracts were analyzed by liquid chromatography-positive electrospray
ionization-tandem mass spectrometry using two transitions in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The limit of detection was between
0.1-2.5 ng/mL for the compounds except HU-210, and extraction recovery ranged from 59 to 78%. The method was used to screen 393
Danish traffic cases from 2012, where the driver was suspected of driving under the influence of drugs. No synthetic cannabinoids were
identified in these samples. Additionally, the method was applied to a clinical intoxication case, and the synthetic cannabinoid AM-
2201 was identified in serum. We conclude that the prevalence of driving under the influence of synthetic cannabinoids in Denmark is
likely to be low, and that synthetic cannabinoids are most likely to be encountered in the clinical setting.

The worldwide estimated prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus is 4.6% in 20-79 year aged population. In 1985, an estimated 30 million people worldwide had diabetes. The World Health Organization warns diabetes will reach epidemic with 300 million by 2025.The prevalence of diabetes is the highest in developed countries but developing countries are expected to have the largest increase in next decade.1 Uncontrolled diabetes leads to soreness, ulcers, infections and tooth decay and decrease oral health status.3 Objective: To assess oral health status among the diabetic patients in dental department of BIRDEM. Methods: It was a cross sectional type of descriptive study conducted among 110 patients for 6 months period. Data were collected using questionnaire and oral examination checklist. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Results: Males were 61.8% and 32.7% were in 40-50 years age group, post-graduate educated were 47.3%, 40.9% were employed in job and monthly family income was taka >20000. The highest 31.8% were diabetic for 3-10 years and 47.3% were under control. Regularly 85.5% patients checked blood sugar and followed the advice. Oral hypoglycemic was taken by 60.9% patients and followed diabetic diet 76.4%. Dental health problems developed in 44.5% diabetes patients, 41.8% developed Gum Swelling, 22.7% Bleeding during brushing teeth, 16.4% Bad breath, 16.4% had Pain and 2.7% having loosening their teeth.

Quand psyché peine à s'installer dans le corps
Authors: Bonaminio Vincenzo , Avakian Daniela 
Published: October 2013

À travers la présentation de deux vignettes cliniques, l’une tirée d’une consultation diagnostique d’une petite fille de sept ans, et l’autre du traitement psychanalytique d’un jeune homme de dix-neuf ans, et en se référant conceptuellement à la pensée de Winnicott, l’auteur discute cliniquement l’apparition et la persistance de sensations de dépersonnalisation à l’âge évolutif. De telles sensations de dépersonnalisation sont chargées d’angoisse et du malaise d’habiter dans son propre corps, et sont considérées comme une distorsion de ce processus maturatif précoce que Winnicott (1945) décrit comme « personnalisation ». Celle-ci comprend des processus d’intégration et d’acquisition de l’espace-temps qui ne peuvent pas être envisagés comme allant de soi, et qui dénoncent l’échec plus ou moins étendu des fonctions facilitatrices de l’environnement, dans le cas spécifique de la dépersonnalisation, le handling maternel.
L'identité et le « double transitionnel »
Authors: Jung Johann , Roussillon René 
Published: October 2013

Les auteurs cherchent à décrire les processus par lesquels un sujet parvient à construire son identité, à s’éprouver et se penser lui-même, d’abord en présence de l’objet, puis dans la relation de soi à soi qui en est l’héritière. Pour penser cette problématique, ils s’appuient sur trois notions clés, à savoir l’identité, la réflexivité et le double avant de déboucher sur la mise en perspective du concept de « double transitionnel ». Ainsi, le double est envisagé comme la figure par laquelle l’identité se transitionnalise, à partir de la rencontre de l’objet investi comme double, simultanément même et différent de soi. L’exploration clinique des troubles identitaires permet de reconstruire les étapes de la « trajectoire identitaire et subjective en double » qui conduit à l’organisation interne d’un « double transitionnel », soit d’un miroir psychique interne vivant, lieu du rapport à soi.

De l'analogie entre fétichisme et addiction
Authors: Robert Geoffrey 
Published: October 2013

Nous tenterons de montrer dans ce texte comment un « montage addictif » peut être semblable à un montage pervers dans ce qu’il signifie du rapport à l’autre, le pharmakon tenant alors lieu de fétiche. Nous verrons ensuite en quoi l’incorporation du fétiche dans l’addiction la singularise avant d’envisager l’addiction comme une « folie artificielle » où l’incorporation d’une substance autorise le déploiement de mécanismes de défense psychotiques face aux réalités externes et internes.
La ligne Kant
Authors: Chapelle Marie-Louise 
Published: October 2013

Kant cite Bacon : « de nobis ipsis silemus ... etc. », sur nous-mêmes, à propos de nous, de nous-mêmes, nous faisons silence, nous ne disons rien – je lis quelque part que Beckett emprunte cette citation. Je tiens que « poète » pour moi est une fiction. « Il ne nous suffit pas d'exposer simplement ce qui est vrai, mais [...] il faut encore exposer ce qu'on désire savoir. » La poésie ne répond pas à cette question.
Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis from Maternal Blood: Finally Available after 20 Years of Research
Authors: Holzgreve Wolfgang 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACT
Since all prenatal invasive procedures, such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling carry a small risk for the pregnant woman and a risk to induce the loss of a pregnancy of up to 1%, there have been efforts now for at least a quarter of a century to develop a noninvasive method from the blood of pregnant women. First there was a considerable effort to isolate fetal cells from maternal circulation, and these techniques were carefully evaluated in a NIH-sponsored study of a few US American centers and ours in Basel/Switzerland. It turned out; however, that interphase fluorescence to identify fetal aneuploidies from these isolated cells was not reliable enough for clinical use. The breakthrough came with the recognition of the group by D Lo et al; who showed for the first time that cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma and serum can be used reliably for prenatal diagnosis. One of the first successful applications was the detection of the fetal Rhesus factor around 11 weeks of gestation in pregnancies of Rhesus-negative mothers. The Sequenom Company in San Diego, USA, which acquired the patent of D Lo et al on the use of cell free DNA and ours on size separation of fetal vs maternal DNA subsequently showed in large series that the noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal trisomy 21 from maternal blood by massive parallel sequencing has an accuracy around 99%, and currently up to 100,000 cases have been investigated already in different laboratories. Also the noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of trisomies 18 and 13 is possible, and an increasing amount of single gene anomalies will be diagnosable in the future noninvasively. The whole development of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis is appositive example that long-term research pays-off to bring a concept from the first steps finally into clinical use.

Noninvasive Prenatal Testing for Fetal Aneuploidy
Authors: Echevarria Mónica , Comas Carmen , Serra Bernat , Rodríguez MaAngeles 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACT
After decades of research with a wide range of putative methodologies, at last a commercially viable technique has emerged for the noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the most common fetal aneuploidies, the massively parallel shotgun sequencing (MPSS). Recently, a number of groups have validated this technology to accurately detect most common trisomies as early as the 10th week of pregnancy with results available 1 to 2 weeks after maternal sampling. Several molecular techniques have been proposed for the detection of trisomies 21, 18 and 13, mainly by two different approaches in analyzing the cell-free fetal (cff) DNA: quantitative and singlenucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based methods. Among them and to address some of the limitations of counting techniques, a new method called NATUS algorithm (Next-generation Aneuploidy Testing Using SNPs) has been recently introduced. This approach, as a targeted and noncounting technique, offers numerous advantages, although more evidence is needed from large prospective studies. Published studies have demonstrated that diagnostic parameters of NIPT are better than those of the current first trimester prenatal screening risk assessment for fetal trisomy 21. NIPT of trisomy 21 by MPS with or without preselection of chromosomes is promising and likely to replace the prenatal serum screening test that is currently combined with nuchal translucency measurement in the first trimester of pregnancy. However, before NIPT can be introduced as a screening test, more evidence is needed from large prospective diagnostic accuracy studies in first trimester pregnancies.

The Role of Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Complications Associated with Maternal Diabetes
Authors: Appleton Kallie , Barnard Jami , Jantz Adam K , Pooh Ritsuko , Comas-Gabriel Carmina 
Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance that begins or is first recognized during pregnancy. Numerous clinical factors are associated with an increased likelihood of GDM, such as increasing age, obesity, ethnicity, family history of diabetes and past obstetric history. There is a well-documented relationship between maternal hyperglycemia and increased rate of macrosomia, cesarean section, stillbirth, fetal congenital malformations, shoulder dystocia, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery, childhood obesity, and increased risk of maternal development of type 2 DM later on in her life. This case-based review is designed to provide health care workers a framework on using various ultrasound imaging modalities in early detection of the effects of gestational diabetes, and the specific conditions and/or anomalies seen in diabetic pregnancies.How to cite this articleAppleton K, Barnard J, Jantz AK, Pooh R, Comas-Gabriel C, Kupesic-Plavsic S.

Abstract
Staying put is an implicit condition in many of the communities that attract the attention of folklorists. We pay scant attention, however, to the creative and culturally inflected economic means that make this condition possible. In this article, I examine wealth management strategies rural West Virginia residents use to sustain their lifestyles and their families in the place they call home.
Computing Folklore Studies: Mapping over a Century of Scholarly Production through Topics
Authors: Laudun John , Goodwin Jonathan 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Folklorists, like most practitioners in a field, understand the history of their discipline through a combination of their own reading and the consensus inherited from their graduate training and professional interactions. Disciplinary history, an effectively oral form of communication, codifies quickly. Highly contingent and random processes become widely understood as historically inevitable. In this preliminary report on a larger project examining the application of computational methodologies in the service of intellectual history, we explore the use of topic modeling as a way to understand the ebb and flow of topics and paradigms within a domain. Using JSTOR’s Data for Research application programming interface to access the contents of 6,778 articles from three folklore studies journals (Journal of American Folklore, Western Folklore, Journal of Folklore Research), we used one form of topic modeling, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, to delineate 50 distinct topics drawn from 125 years of research publication. Of particular interest here was the legendary "turn toward performance" in our field.
