Published: April 2024

This study aimed to investigate the impact of an 8-week hemsball training on the development of balance and punto (approaching the target) performance in athletes aged 12-14 who play boccia in Bingöl province teams and train for more than 7 hours per week. The sample consisted of athletes who met the aforementioned criteria. The study involved 30 athletes, with 15 in the control group and 15 in the experimental group, who voluntarily played boccia. The experimental group received 60 minutes of hemsball training followed by boccia training, while the control group only received boccia training. Anthropometric measurements, including height, body weight, and BMI, as well as measurements of static and dynamic balance and punto (approach to target) scores, were taken before and after the 8-week exercise period. The data was evaluated using the SPSS 25 package program. The pre-test and post-test distributions of the study data were examined for each group, and normality and homogeneity of variances were determined using the Mauchly Sphericity Test and Levene test. Based on the test results, the dependent variables within each group were compared using the Paired-Sample T-test. The significance of the results was evaluated at a p-value of less than 0.05. The study found no significant difference in the mean values of height, body weight, and BMI of the experimental group after the 8-week hemsball training program (p>0.05). According to the data analysis results regarding the static and dynamic balance measurements of the hemsball training application, a significant difference at the p<0.05 level was found in the pre-test and post-test comparisons of the experimental group in the majority of the static and dynamic balance variables. No statistical difference was found in the control group and the between-group comparisons. According to the data analysis results regarding the Punto score measurements, a significant difference at the p<0.05 level was found in the pre and post-test comparisons of the experimental group in the punto score variable. No difference was found for the control group. Similarly, no statistical difference was observed between the groups. As a result, it can be concluded that training with hemsball has a positive effect on the performance of young boccia athletes in static and dynamic balance and the punto score.

Comparison of Inclusion of Skimmed Milk and Edible Insects on the Nutritional, Sensory and Microbial Qualities of Enriched High Energy Rice Biscuits
Authors: Akande Olamide Abigael 
Published: April 2024

Aims: The growing world population, carbon foot prints of rearing conventional protein sources, issues of protein malnutrition (particularly in developing nations) and the urgent needs of protein-rich food relief materials in crisis situations may necessitate the utilisation of underutilised sustainable, nutritious protein sources. The study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using indigenous food crops and substituting milk powder with edible insects’ powder as a sustainable alternative protein source in high energy rice biscuits.
Study Design: Biscuits were produced following the standard USAID recipe for HEB and comparisons were made with the insect biscuits and STD.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Food Science and Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria, between January 2018 and August 2018.
Methodology: The high energy biscuits was evaluated for proximate composition, total sugars using Anthrone reagent, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), physical properties such as spread ratio, weight, width etc. Microbial and sensory quality of the biscuits were also determined using standard methods.
Results: From the findings of the study, rice biscuits with silkworm pupae had outstanding protein (12.76 g/100 g), fat (15.78 g/100 g) and energy (451.38 Kcal/100 g) contents while biscuit with migratory locust powder had slightly higher total ash and CHO. The spread ratios of the biscuits were within acceptable range. In terms of mineral composition, all the insect biscuits were significantly superior to the milk biscuit except for calcium. However, all the rice HEB exceeded the minimum USAID specifications for nutritive elements. The insect biscuits had more than quadruple the recommended pro-vitamin A content (1200. 67 and 2390.05 μg/100 g) and impressive amounts of vitamin C (94.19 and 52.39 mg/100 g). The microbial assessment revealed HEB with remarkable quality signifying wholesome raw materials and hygienic sample preparation. All samples received good sensorial ranking, but HEB with migratory locust was preferred.
Conclusion: The results demonstrated that edible insects could serve as alternative protein source in the production of a nutritious high energy biscuit with good organoleptic and microbiological qualities.

The current research focuses on the estimation of fibre content in sweet and high biomass sorghum lines for Production of sweet and high biomass sorghum lines with optimized cell wall components for increased biofuel bioconversion yield, through partially replicated experimental design for F3 populations based on BLUPs values; this study was carried out for four seasons (from postrainy 2020 to rainy 2022) to develop F3 populations of sweet and high-biomass bmr sorghum lines. The proximate fibre component analysis was done in the matured F3 populations by drying the plant samples and grinding them into a fine powder. Fibre quality components such as cellulose, hemicellulose, acid detergent fibre (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), metabolizable energy (ME), nitrogen, in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), and ash, were assessed using Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS). ICSV18003 had the lowest acid detergent fibre (ADF) percentage at 37.04%, while it also had the highest acid detergent lignin (ADL) percentage at 3.84%. The ash percentage was 3.73% in SSV84 × N609. Moreover, the bmr transferred lines of the F3 population exhibited higher levels of cellulose and hemicellulose, while lignin and ash content were decreased. This indicates that the bmr6 and bmr12 alleles can be confidently utilized in sorghum breeding for bioenergy production, as they meet the requirements for bioethanol production.

Authors: Brahmi Yasser El , Dabbagh Mahmoud , Mohamed Ballouch , Moctar Noufou Fodiya , Chair Walid , Najih Mohammed 
Published: April 2024

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors that are capable of secreting hormones into the bloodstream. They can affect any organ but are most commonly found in the digestive system, particularly in the small intestine.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are often identified in later stages due to the emergence of nonspecific symptoms. Chromogranin A serves as the primary biochemical indicator for NETs. Evaluating the extent of the disease typically involves conventional imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRIs, as well as isotopic imaging methods.
Curative surgery remains the gold standard in the management of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs). It should be considered as soon as possible, even in cases of metastatic stage.
Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are pivotal in both managing symptoms and therapeutically addressing metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs).
we present a case of a neuroendocrine tumor with intestinal obstruction along with a literature review.
Internet‐initiated sexual abuse: adolescent victims' reports about On‐ and Off‐line sexual activities
Authors: Leander Lina , Christianson Sven Å , Granhag Pär Anders 
Published: March 2008

AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to investigate how adolescent girls, who had been sexually (on‐ and off‐line) deceived and abused by an Internet hebephile, reported about these acts. As we had access to documentation of 68 girls' conversations (i.e. chat logs) and involvement with the perpetrator, we were able to gauge what the victims reported during the police interview against this detailed documentation. In contrast with findings from previous research, the majority of victims reported about the off‐line activities (real‐life meetings) with the perpetrator. However, the victims omitted and/or denied more of the on‐line activities, specifically the more severe sexual on‐line acts (sending nude photos and participating in sexual web shows). There is probably a gap between what the victims reported and what they presumably remembered about the on‐line activities. Factors that might have affected the victims' pattern of reports are discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The role of emotional elaboration in the creation of false memories
Authors: Drivdahl Sarah B. , Zaragoza Maria S. , Learned Dianne M. 
Published: March 2008

AbstractTwo experiments employed an eyewitness suggestibility paradigm to examine the effects of emotional elaboration on the creation of false memories for suggested events. The results of both experiments converge in showing that reflectively elaborating on the emotional consequences of suggested events increases both false belief and false memory in having witnessed the suggested events. Moreover, the results also showed that emotional elaboration leads to higher false memory than other types of meaningful elaboration, thus providing evidence that the emotional content of the elaboration plays a role in promoting false memory development. The results have several real‐world implications for forensic and therapeutic interviews. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The effects of wording on the understanding and use of uncertainty information in a threshold forecasting decision

Published: March 2008

AbstractMany believe that information about small chances of severe weather would be useful to the general public for precautionary action. What is the best way to explain this kind of information to a non‐expert audience? The studies reported here investigated effects of framing (negative vs. positive), format (frequency vs. probability), likelihood (low vs. high) and compatibility (task‐match) on interpretation of verbal expressions of forecast uncertainty and on subsequent forecasting decisions. The crucial factor was the match between the verbal expression and the overall task goal. Errors increased when there was a mismatch between the expression (e.g. winds less than 20 knots) and the task (e.g. post an advisory when winds will exceed 20 knots). However, framing and format had little impact. We conclude that consideration of user expectations arising from the overall task goal is crucial in explaining uncertainty information to a naïve audience. Global expectations overpower other potential effects. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A Theoretical Study of Substitution Effects in Unimolecular Rectifiers
Authors: Stadler Robert , Geskin Victor , Cornil Jérôme 
Published: March 2008

AbstractThe concept of molecular rectifiers introduced by Aviram and Ratner in 1974 has been the starting point of the field of molecular electronics and the possibility of unimolecular rectification has been widely debated ever since. Despite the large amount of publications on this topic over the years, the physical mechanisms leading to this phenomenon have not yet been clarified to the point where a systematic route for enhancing the rectification ratio (RR) of molecules could be suggested. We present here a theoretical study of RR for a range of molecules with a carboxylic group as a bridge between π‐conjugated chains substituted by nitro and amino groups to improve the rectification. We estimate the RR in two distinct ways, namely: i) as the ratio of the threshold electric fields required to transfer one electron between the donor and acceptor units of the molecule and vice versa, using quantum‐chemical calculations based on the semi‐empirical Hartree–Fock Austin Model 1 (AM1) method, ii) as the ratio of the currents in forward versus reverse bias, as obtained with a non‐equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach for charge transport through gold/molecule/gold junctions within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The trends in RR as a function of the molecular structure agree very well when these two methods are compared and can be explained in terms of the relative position of the nitro group within the generated electrostatic potential. These findings allow us to derive some general conclusions about the physical mechanisms behind unimolecular rectification.
Reinforcement of a Rubbery Epoxy Polymer by Mesostructured Silica and Organosilica with Wormhole Framework Structures
Authors: Jiao Jian , Sun Xin , Pinnavaia Thomas J. 
Published: March 2008

AbstractMesostructured forms of silica (denoted MSU‐J) and aminopropyl‐functionalized silica (denoted AP‐MSU‐J) with wormhole framework structures are effective reinforcing agents for a rubbery epoxy polymer. At loadings of 2.0–10 wt %, MSU‐J silica with an average framework pore size of 14 nm (65 °C assembly temperature) provides superior reinforcement properties in comparison to MSU‐J silica with a smaller average framework pore size of 5.3 nm (25 °C assembly temperature), even though the surface area of the larger pore mesostructure (670 m2 g−1) is substantially lower than the smaller pore mesostructure (964 m2 g−1). The introduction of 5.0 and 10 mol % aminopropyl groups in the wormhole framework walls decreases the textural properties in comparison to the pure silica analogs. AP‐MSU‐J organosilicas increase the tensile strength as well as the strain‐at‐break of the rubbery epoxy mesocomposites in comparison to MSU‐J silica as a reinforcing agent. The improved toughness provided by the aminopropyl functionalized mesostructures is attributable in part to covalent bond formation between the mesostructured silica walls and the cured epoxy matrix and to a more ductile mesostructure framework in comparison to a pure silica framework. An organosilica derivative containing 20 mol % aminopropyl groups, but lacking a mesostructured framework, provides little or no improvement in polymer tensile properties, demonstrating that an ordered porous network is essential for polymer reinforcement. In general, the reinforcement benefits provided by mesostructures with larger framework pores are superior to those provided by smaller pore derivatives, most likely because of more efficient polymer impregnation of the particle mesopores. The presence of a mesostructured form of the organosilica is essential for improving the mechanical properties of the epoxy polymer.
