To develop a reliable and effective radiological score to assess the healing of isolated ulnar shaft fractures (IUSF), the Radiographic Union Score for Ulna fractures (RUSU).Initially, 20 patients with radiographs six weeks following a non-operatively managed ulnar shaft fracture were selected and scored by three blinded observers. After intraclass correlation (ICC) analysis, a second group of 54 patients with radiographs six weeks after injury (18 who developed a nonunion and 36 who united) were scored by the same observers.In the initial study, interobserver and intraobserver ICC were 0.89 and 0.93, respectively. In the validation study the interobserver ICC was 0.85. The median score for patients who united was significantly higher than those who developed a nonunion (11 vs 7, p<0.001). A ROC curve demonstrated that a RUSU ≤8 had a sensitivity of 88.9% and specificity of 86.1% in identifying patients at risk of nonunion. Patients with a RUSU ≤8 (n = 21) were more likely to develop a nonunion (n = 16/21) than those with a RUSU ≥9 (n = 2/33; OR 49.6, 95% CI 8.6–284.7). Based on a PPV of 76%, if all patients with a RUSU ≤8 underwent fixation at 6-weeks, the number of procedures needed to avoid one nonunion would be 1.3.The RUSU shows good interobserver and intraobserver reliability and is effective in identifying patients at risk of nonunion six weeks after fracture. This tool requires external validation but may enhance the management of patients with isolated ulnar shaft fractures.

Most descriptive data on individuals with bipolar disorder originate from high-resource settings. Very little is known about the accessibility and service provision of intensive mental health care to persons living with bipolar disorder in low-resource settings. This information is needed to inform health systems and guide practitioners to improve standard treatment options and access to treatment. This cross-sectional study explored the level of care for outpatients with bipolar disorder and their help-seeking patterns at the two national referral hospitals in Rwanda. The study found that the majority, 93%, of outpatients with bipolar disorder in Rwanda were on prophylactic psychopharmacological treatment, but mainly first-generation antipsychotics and just 3% received lithium treatment. Furthermore, there was a lack of psychosocial intervention; consequently, 44% were not aware that they had bipolar disorder. Moreover, 1 in 5 participants utilized or had previously used traditional medicine. Awareness of own diagnostic status was not associated with educational level or use of traditional medicine. The study’s sample size of 154 patients is relatively small, and the cross-sectional design does not provide causal inferences. The results demonstrate a considerable unmet need for improved mental health care services for individuals with bipolar disorder in Rwanda, including access to optimal medication and psychosocial interventions. Psychoeducation could be a possible starting point for improving the standard of care, informing the individual on their diagnosis and medication while empowering them to engage in their treatment plan.

Authors: Piksa Ondřej , Orlický Adam , Scháno Martin 
Published: October 2023

Developing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AV) based on machine learning is generally an extensive and costly process. Due to the increasing complexity of autonomous systems, the need for extensive testing and validation arises. In recent years, computer simulation has been used for these purposes. Performing realistic simulations, especially for the purpose of computer vision-based systems, requires a high-quality, almost photorealistic virtual environment. This paper introduces U SMART ZONE, a high-fidelity virtual model of the Severní Terasa district in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic comprising of more than 7.5 km of drivable roads with a total area of approximately 1.4 km2 for human-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulations.
The ductility performance of concrete using glass fiber mesh in beam specimens
Authors: Özodabaş Aylin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It is known that concrete with high ductility reduces fatalities because it absorbs more energy during an earthquake. The aim of this study is to increase the ductility of concrete by using glass fiber mesh (GFM) left over from the use of plaster in structures and to support sustainability by reusing waste materials in concrete. Another aim is to contribute to the economy by using waste fibers instead of expensive fibers such as carbon and polypropylene in concrete. Two types of concrete were used: class C25 concrete and self-compacting concrete. The specified number of GFM materials was cut into 3 cm wide pieces and placed in 10 cm × 10 cm × 50 cm concrete beam specimens in varying numbers. It was found that the flexural values of the obtained specimens gave slightly better results than the prepared reference specimen. In addition, the increasing stress zones in the beams were visualized using the ANSYS software.
Banal Evil – Radical Goodness. Reflection on the 60th Anniversary of “Eichmann in Jerusalem”
Authors: Cibotaru Veronica 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The starting point of this article lies in the idea, defended by Hannah Arendt, according to which only goodness can be radical, while evil is merely banal. The idea of a banality of evil is present in Arendt’s work Eichmann in Jerusalem, although it is explicitly not presented as a general theory on evil as such – it is more particularly in her correspondence with Gershom Scholem that one can find this specific distinction between evil and goodness mentioned. How is this distinction to be understood? This article proposes the idea that such a distinction has to be construed on an ontological level: evil is ontologically deficient, since it does not take hold in a specific capacity of human beings, which would be what Hannah Arendt calls the demonic evil, but in the absence of thinking, i.e. in the absence of a specific human faculty. Conversely, only goodness expresses a creative human faculty, which is precisely thinking, and which, following Hannah Arendt, can be fully realized only through a political, collective dimension.

Abstract
Cornell, DJ, Flees, RJ, Shemelya, CM, and Ebersole, KT. Influence of cardiorespiratory fitness on cardiac autonomic recovery among active-duty firefighters. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): 66–73, 2024—It has been suggested that an inability of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to recover after strenuous events is a potential cause of sudden cardiac death among firefighters. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on the heart rate recovery (HRR) kinetics of firefighters. Thirty-seven male career active-duty firefighters completed both a submaximal step test and a maximal treadmill graded exercise test. A monoexponential curve was fit to postexercise submaximal and maximal HRR data of each subject. Subjects were placed into Low CRF (n = 13) and High CRF (n = 24) groups based on the standard peak aerobic capacity (V̇O2peak) criterion of <42 ml·kg−1·minute−1 and ≥42 ml·kg−1·minute−1, respectively. After controlling for age and body mass index, CRF was significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with the decay rate (

) and asymptote (

) after submaximal exercise (r
sp = −0.556; r
sp = −0.637, respectively), as well as the

,

, and amplitude (

) after maximal exercise (r
sp = −0.353; r
sp = −0.416; r
sp = 0.603, respectively). High CRF firefighters demonstrated a significantly faster

after both submaximal (p = 0.003) and maximal exercise (p = 0.043), a lower

after submaximal exercise (p = 0.002), and a higher

after maximal exercise (p = 0.001), than Low CRF firefighters. Greater CRF was associated with enhanced HRR kinetics after submaximal and maximal exertion, suggesting that CRF may positively influence the ANS recovery of firefighters.

Abstract
Ashley, CD, Lopez, RM, and Tritsch, AJ. Football practices in hot environments impact subsequent days' hydration. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): 90–96, 2024—The impact of proper hydration to prevent exertional heat illness in American football has not been evaluated during high school preseason football practices in a hot environment (wet-bulb globe temperature = 31.3 ± 1.8° C). The purposes of this study were to examine the accuracy of urinary hydration measures to assess body mass (BM) changes and to examine carryover effects of consecutive practices by comparing postpractice with the next prepractice values. Before and after each of 7 outdoor practices, 31 male high school football players (age = 16 ± 1 years, height = 181.2 ± 12.0 cm, BM = 85.7 ± 19.1 kg, body mass index = 20.8 ± 1.8) provided a urine sample and were weighed to assess hydration. Sensitivity and specificity of urine color (Ucol) and urine-specific gravity (USG) to determine BM changes were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Paired samples t-tests assessed carryover effects between practices. Repeated-measures analysis of variance assessed carryover effects across practices. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Sensitivity and specificity for using Ucol or USG to determine BM changes was not significant. For Ucol, there was a carryover effect from practice numbers 2 to 3, 6 to 7 am, 7 am to 7 pm (p < 0.001 for all), and 10 to 11 (p = 0.004); most with less than 24 hours between practices. The %BM loss (%BML) was significantly greater (p = 0.001 to 0.024) after 2-a-day practices. Effects of previous days' exercise in the heat, as evidenced by higher Ucol and %BL, are greater after 2-a-day practices, which occurred on later practice days. Athletes must replenish fluids during and between practices to remain euhydrated.

Abstract
Oliva-Lozano, JM, Chmura, P, Granero-Gil, P, and Muyor, JM. Using microtechnology and the Fourier Transform for the analysis of effective activity time in professional soccer. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—This study aimed to investigate the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for the analysis of effective activity time in professional soccer by (a) exploring the relationship between this variable and standard external load parameters and (b) analyzing the effective activity time during official professional soccer matches. Twenty-six male players participated in the study. Each player was categorized as midfielder, central defender, full-back, wide-midfielder, or forward. Tracking systems based on inertial sensors (4 3D accelerometers, 3 3D gyroscopes, and 1 magnetometer), and global positioning systems technology were used to collect external load measures for 35 matches. Each match was analyzed considering 15-minute periods to explore the evolution of effective activity time during the matches. The extra time from each match was also included. Fast Fourier transform duration may be a representative variable of effective activity time, given the strong positive correlation with the external load variables (p < 0.001). The linear regression analysis showed that the variables that significantly contributed to the model (R
2 = 0.97) were the total of steps and the distance covered. The mean effective activity time in soccer match play was ∼48.69 minutes. This time significantly changed depending on factors such as the period of the match (F = 239.05; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.60) or playing position (F = 16.99; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.06). The greatest effective activity time was observed for all playing positions in the 0′–15′ period. However, the 60′–75′ period showed the lowest effective activity times compared with the rest of the 15-minute periods for all positions except for forwards (75′–90′). From a practical standpoint, sports performance practitioners may consider these results to improve the individualization of training and match demands. Also, a more accurate indicator of exercise intensity may be obtained (e.g., multiplying the rating of perceived exertion by the effective activity time).

Abstract
Smolarek, T, Haff, GG, Poon, WCK, Nagatani, T, Barley, OR, and Guppy, SN. Dynamic and isometric force-time curve characteristics influencing change of direction performance of state-level netball players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—Although multiple lower-body strength capacities are required to change direction rapidly, there is limited knowledge about the relative importance of these factors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between dynamic and isometric lower-body strength capacities and change of direction (COD) time in state-league netball players. Seventeen female athletes completed maximal isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), and modified 5-0-5 COD tests. Pearson's product moment correlations were used to determine the relationship between COD time and several IMTP and CMJ force-time curve characteristics. To assess the level of contribution of each force-time curve characteristic to COD time, multivariate-linear stepwise regression analyses were performed. A significant moderate correlation was noted between net relative peak force (PF) during the IMTP and COD time (r = 0.488, p = 0.047), accounting for 23.8% of the variance in COD time. Moreover, concentric relative impulse during the CMJ was strongly correlated with COD time (r = 0.718; p = 0.001), explaining 81.9% of the variance in COD time when combined with net relative braking PF in a stepwise regression. Based on these findings, female netball players who display higher concentric and isometric strength, as well as the ability to express higher impulses during the concentric phase of the CMJ, are likely to perform CODs faster. This may occur because COD requires the generation of greater propulsive forces, as well as reduced braking and contact times, along with greater isometric strength enabling effective repositioning of center of mass during COD tasks.
Temperature Exposure of Single- and Double-Layer Coatings of Inconel 625 Reinforced with Ni3Al Intermetallics

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The customization of metallic alloys offers the possibility of adding functionalities to a material. Customizing alloys with a dispersion of intermetallic compounds obtained by in situ synthesis does not compromise processing and allows for the addition of functionalities to less noble alloys. However, intermetallic materials present important challenges regarding their processability by welding and forming because of low toughness, ductility, and metallurgical stability at high temperatures. Graded multilayer coatings might offer a balanced solution to the aforementioned challenges by taking advantage of a ductile matrix while the fine dispersion of aluminides reinforces hardness and metallurgical stability. This investigation addressed this challenge by processing coatings of Inconel 625 superalloy with in situ formed Ni-Al based intermetallics to increase hardness and high temperature oxidation resistance while maintaining weldability. Powder mixtures of Inconel 625, Ni, and Al elementary powders were processed as single and double-layer coatings. Inconel 625 atomized alloy was modified with a powder mixture containing 75 wt. % Ni and 25 wt. % Al. Each deposited layer had a different amount of the Ni + Al powder mixtures added to the atomized Inconel 625 alloy. The single layer coating was processed with a mixture containing Inconel 625 and 80 wt. % (Ni + Al), while the double-layer coating of the first layer was deposited with the powder mixture Inconel 625 and 20 wt. % (Ni + Al), and the second layer deposited with Inconel 625 and 80 wt. % (Ni+Al). Monel 400 substrates were used for all deposits in the study. Powder mixtures were deposited by Plasma Transferred Arc allowing the in situ synthesis of Ni-Al intermetallics without compromising weldability. For both coatings, microstructural stability was sustained until 900 °C, and at 1,100°C exposure led to some degree of oxidation, but the increased hardness due to nickel aluminides intermetallics in situ formation was sustained.

Not Seeing, Unseeing, and Blind: Disentangling Disability from Adjacent Topoi in the Hebrew Bible
Authors: Harvey Eric J. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Disability has often been conflated with adjacent and overlapping topoi in the reception and scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in ways that have compounded ableist tendencies in some texts and manufactured them outright in others. The point is demonstrated here through various meanings of the couplet “they have eyes but do not see; they have ears but do not hear,” which in context can convey several reasons why seeing and hearing do not happen: unwillingness to accept a message (Jer 5:21, Ezek 12:2) and inanimacy (Pss 115:5b–6a, 135:16b–17a) in addition to the disabilities of blindness and deafness (Isa 43:8). Disability plays no conceptual or rhetorical role in the first four passages, as Hebrew biblical texts generally avoid the pitfall of equating disability with rebelliousness or lifelessness. Isaiah 43:8 uses blindness and deafness as metaphors for the condition of the exiled Judeans, but a careful reading in the context of Second Isaiah reveals that they serve as metaphors for captivity, not obduracy or immorality. Appreciating these distinctions produces more historically plausible readings of the five passages and opens the way to less ableist interpretations of other disability texts in the Hebrew Bible.
The Field Belonging to Boaz: Creating Kinship through Land, Labor, Food, and Feeding
Authors: Chapman Cynthia R. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Ruth’s decision to glean in a field where she might find favor (Ruth 2:2) sets in motion a transformation of Ruth from Moabite outsider to Judean insider. When Ruth happens upon the “field belonging to Boaz,” a servant identifies her as a nameless foreigner: “a Moabite woman . . . from the fields of Moab” (2:6). By the end of the book, the village elders compare her to “Rachel and Leah who together built up the house of Israel” (4:11). Crucial to Ruth’s incremental transformation are three directives that Boaz gives Ruth when he meets her in his field and greets her as “my daughter” (2:8): stay in my field; drink water from my vessels; and sit with my reapers and eat bread. Anthropological and archaeological studies of agriculture, foodways, and the materiality of food-related objects shed light on the kinship dimensions of each of these three directives. The back-and-forth interactions between Ruth, Boaz, the land, and its produce over two months of harvesting gradually lace Ruth into the “clan of Elimelech,” the father of her dead husband, and place her under the protective “cloak” of the Israelite god.
