Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Optimal delivery of health care service requires evidence-based practice by the professionals within their respective fields. Kinesiology recently became a regulated health profession in the Province of Ontario, drawing on principles of movement science in related areas of human clinical and performance disciplines to appropriately guide practice. However, with the addition of kinesiology to the class of regulated health professions, research that specifically guides service delivery and best practice policy is needed. A clear research agenda with identified priorities within the profession of kinesiology that is informed by current practitioners and stakeholders will enhance the discipline by ensuring clinical excellence and scientific relevance. A mixed methods Delphi study for consensus building was used, consisting of four rounds of participant engagement including baseline focus groups, online Delphi survey (two rounds), and final ranking of top research questions. In the final round, Kendall's W was used to determine agreement among participants on final questions. n = 67 participated in the focus groups, and n = 104, 102, 102 kinesiologists participated in rounds 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Two hundred and eighteen baseline research questions were identified from the focus groups, spanning three thematic areas: clinical skills, education/professional development, and contemporary issues/advocacy for professionals. Following the conclusion of the third round, 32 research questions achieved consensus of “significant importance.” The list of 32 questions was prioritized by respondents to identify the top 10 research questions for professional kinesiology, which reached statistical concordance (W = 0.44, P < 0.001). This is the inaugural research agenda for registered kinesiologists. Consensus-based research priorities identified in this agenda should be considered when designing and allocating resources to professional kinesiology research.

Published: October 2023

We evaluate the impact of complexity and information content of 10-K filings on uncertainty dynamics following the filings. We have three main findings. First, the option-implied volatility on average increases in the first four weeks after the filings, followed by a net decrease in the subsequent six weeks. Second, this hump-shaped volatility dynamic is more pronounced for firms with larger 10-K file sizes. Third, we provide a novel decomposition of 10-K file size based on the individual sections’ disclosure amount and topic analysis and find that the discussions on topics in the “risk factors” section mainly capture the complexity aspect, whereas the discussions on topics in the “managerial discussion and analysis” section mainly capture the information content aspect of the 10-K filings. Our findings highlight the importance of timing for understanding the opposing effects of complexity and information content on asset prices. This paper was accepted by Agostino Capponi, finance.

Published: October 2023

AimsImpaired fracture repair in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to characterize the local changes in gene expression (GE) associated with diabetic fracture. We used an unbiased approach to compare GE in the fracture callus of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats relative to wild-type (WT) littermates at three weeks following femoral osteotomy.MethodsZucker rats, WT and homozygous for leptin receptor mutation (ZDF), were fed a moderately high-fat diet to induce T2DM only in the ZDF animals. At ten weeks of age, open femoral fractures were simulated using a unilateral osteotomy stabilized with an external fixator. At three weeks post-surgery, the fractured femur from each animal was retrieved for analysis. Callus formation and the extent of healing were assessed by radiograph and histology. Bone tissue was processed for total RNA extraction and messenger RNA (mRNA) sequencing (mRNA-Seq).ResultsRadiographs and histology demonstrated impaired fracture healing in ZDF rats with incomplete bony bridge formation and an influx of intramedullary inflammatory tissue. In comparison, near-complete bridging between cortices was observed in Sham WT animals. Of 13,160 genes, mRNA-Seq analysis identified 13 that were differentially expressed in ZDF rat callus, using a false discovery rate (FDR) threshold of 10%. Seven genes were upregulated with high confidence (FDR = 0.05) in ZDF fracture callus, most with known roles in inflammation.ConclusionThese findings suggest that elevated or prolonged inflammation contributes to delayed fracture healing in T2DM. The identified genes may be used as biomarkers to monitor and treat delayed fracture healing in diabetic patients.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2023;12(10):657–666.

Published: October 2023

Abstract- This paper presents a mathematical model that transforms the real machine to fictitious machines and our goal is to simulate these and see the behavior of these machines in load. The polyphase machines are developed mainly in the field of variable speed drives of high power because increasing the number of phases on the one hand allows to reduce the dimensions of the components in power modulators energy and secondly to improve the operating safety. By a vector approach (vector space), it is possible to find a set of single-phase machine and / or two-phase fictitious equivalent to polyphase synchronous machine. These fictitious machines are coupled electrically and mechanically but decoupled magnetically. This approach leads to introduce the concept of the equivalent machine (multimachine multiconverter system MMS) which aims to analyze systems composed of multiple machines (or multiple converters) in electric drives. A first classification multimachine multiconverter system follows naturally from MMS formalism. We present an example of a pentaphase (polyphase) synchronous machine for a simulation and study the behavior of the machine load. Keywords: Polyphase machines, multimachine concept, vector space, eigenvectors, eigenvalues, pentaphase machine.
Advance directives among community-dwelling stroke survivors
Authors: Gupta Soumya , Chen Bridget J. , Suolang Deji , Cooper Rachel , Faigle Roland 
Published: October 2023

Objective
Advance directives (ADs) are integral to health care, allowing patients to specify surrogate decision-makers and treatment preferences in case of loss of capacity. The present study sought to identify determinants of ADs among stroke survivors.

Methods
In this cross-sectional study (Care Attitudes and Preferences in Stroke Survivors [CAPriSS]), community-dwelling stroke survivors were surveyed on ADs; validated scales were used to query palliative care knowledge and attitudes towards life-sustaining treatments. Logistic regression was used to determine variables associated with ADs.

Results
Among 562 community-dwelling stroke survivors who entered the survey after screening questions confirmed eligibility, 421 (74.9%) completed survey components with relevant variables of interest. The median age was 69 years (IQR 58–75 years); 53.7% were male; and 15.0% were Black. Two hundred and fifty-one (59.6%) respondents had ADs. Compared to stroke survivors without ADs, those with ADs were more likely to be older (median age 72 vs. 61 years; p<0.001), White (91.2% vs. 75.9%, p<0.001), and male (58.6% vs. 46.5%, p = 0.015), and reported higher education (p<0.001) and income (p = 0.011). Ninety-eight (23.3%) participants had “never heard of palliative care”. Compared to participants without ADs, participants with ADs had higher Palliative Care Knowledge Scale (PaCKS) scores (median 10 [IQR 5–12] vs. 7 [IQR 0–11], p<0.001), and lower scores on the Attitudes Towards Life-Sustaining Treatments Scale (indicating a more negative attitude towards life-sustaining treatments; median 23 [IQR 18–28] vs. 29 [IQR 24–35], p<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression identified age (OR 1.62 per 10 year increase, 95% CI 1.30–2.02; p<0.001), prior advance care planning discussion with a physician (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.04–2.86; p = 0.034), PaCKS scores (OR 1.06 per 1 point increase, 95% CI 1.01–1.12; p = 0.018), and Attitudes Towards Life-Sustaining Treatments Scale scores (OR 0.91 per 1 point increase, 95% CI 0.88–0.95; p<0.001) as variables independently associated with ADs.

Conclusions
Age, prior advance care planning discussion with a physician, palliative care knowledge, and attitudes towards life-sustaining treatments were independently associated with ADs.
The geometry of discrete L-algebras
Authors: Rump Wolfgang 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The relationship of discrete L-algebras to projective geometry is deepened and made explicit in several ways. Firstly, a geometric lattice is associated to any discrete L-algebra. Monoids of I-type are obtained as a special case where the perspectivity relation is trivial. Secondly, the structure group of a non-degenerate discrete L-algebra X is determined and shown to be a complete invariant. It is proved that X ∖ {1} is a projective space with an orthogonality relation. A new definition of non-symmetric quantum sets, extending the recursive definition of symmetric quantum sets, is provided and shown to be equivalent to the former one. Quantum sets are characterized as complete projective spaces with an anisotropic duality, and they are also characterized in terms of their complete lattice of closed subspaces, which is one-sided orthomodular and semimodular. For quantum sets of finite cardinality n > 3, a representation as a projective space with duality over a skew-field is given. Quantum sets of cardinality 2 are classified, and the structure group of their associated L-algebra is determined.
‘Left-Kantianism’ and the ‘Scientific Dispute’ between Rudolf Stammler and Hermann Cohen
Authors: Widmer Elisabeth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper argues that the ‘scientific dispute’ between Hermann Cohen and Rudolf Stammler is symptomatic of a philosophical movement of left-wing Kant interpretations at the turn of the twentieth century. By outlining influential predecessors that shaped Cohen’s and Stammler’s thinking, I show that their Kantian justifications of socialism differ regarding their conception of law, history, and the political implications that follow from their practical philosophies. Against scholars who suggest that the Marburg School’s view on socialism was a coherent school of thought, I introduce the concept of ‘left-Kantianism’ as an open term that includes a wide variety of novel socialist approaches to Kant at the time.
Reliability of hemoglobin A2 value as measured by the Premier Resolution system for screening of β-thalassemia carriers

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Accurate quantification of hemoglobin (Hb) A2 is vital for diagnosing β-thalassemia carriers. This study aimed to assess the precision and diagnostic utility of HbA2 measurements using the new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, Premier Resolution, in comparison to capillary electrophoresis (CE).

Methods
We analyzed 418 samples, previously identified as A2A by CE, using Premier Resolution-HPLC. We compared the results, established correlations, and determined an optimal HbA2 cutoff value for β-thalassemia screening. Additionally, we prospectively evaluated the chosen cutoff value in 632 samples. Mutations in the β- and α-globin genes were identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques and DNA sequencing.

Results
HbA2 levels were consistently higher with Premier Resolution, yet there was a significant correlation with CE in all samples (bias, −0.33; r, 0.991), β-thalassemia (bias, −0.27; r, 0.927), and non-β-thalassemia carriers (bias, −0.36; r, 0.928). An HbA2 cutoff value of ≥4.0 % for β-thalassemia screening achieved 100 % sensitivity and 99.6 % specificity. Further validation yielded sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of 97.3 , 99.8, 97.3, 99.8, and 99.7 %, respectively. We also identified a rare β-Hb variant, Hb La Desirade [HBB:c.389C>T], associated with β-thalassemia and co-inherited with a single α-globin gene.

Conclusions
The Premier Resolution HPLC is a reliable and accurate method for routine β-thalassemia carrier screening, aligning with existing CE methods.
Turning the tables on online exam cheating via language mediation tasks
Authors: Chovancová Barbora , Bilová Štěpánka , Hradilová Alena 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article addresses the issue of foreign language testing in the online mode and proposes a strategy to reduce the possibility of academic misconduct, specifically cheating, by designing tasks that assess the language skill of mediation in Legal English exams. Such tasks require test-takers to generate original answers, which can significantly reduce the risk of copying and pasting. Additionally, mastering the skill of mediation is a valuable asset for future lawyers. The authors introduce two original distinct intra-language mediation tasks that they developed for assessing English for Legal Purposes. One is aimed at first-year students with limited Legal English experience, while the other is intended for more advanced and experienced students. The article analyses student responses and evaluates their performance. The authors follow the action research approach, which involves a circle of observing, reflecting and acting, and raise questions concerning the originality of answers, production of a measurable sample of the target language, objectivity of assessment, and whether the practice in class impacts the success rate. The article also discusses challenges encountered during the process and how they were addressed. It can be concluded that mediation tasks are practical for online testing but could be used equally well for traditional classroom assessment.

Authors: Cai Meiying , Chen Xuemei , Li Ying , Lin Na , Huang Hailong , Xu Liangpu 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The phenotypes of Xp22.33 or Yp11.32 microdeletions comprising the short-stature homeobox (SHOX) gene have been extensively described in adults and children. Herein, the prenatal ultrasound phenotype and pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with Xp22.33/Yp11.32 microdeletions were analyzed to improve our understanding, diagnosis, and monitoring of this genetic condition in the fetal stage.

Methods
A total of 9,100 pregnant women referred to tertiary units for prenatal diagnosis were evaluated by chromosomal microarray analysis(CMA).

Results
Seven (0.08 %) fetuses had Xp22.33/Yp11.32 microdeletions, ranging from 243 kb to 1.1 Mb, that comprised SHOX. The ultrasonic phenotypes differed among these fetuses, with three fetuses presenting abnormal bone development, one had labial-palatal deformity and strawberry head, two had an abnormal ultrasonic soft marker, and one had no abnormalities. After genetic counseling, only one couple underwent pedigree assessment, which confirmed the paternal origin of the microdeletion. This infant presented delayed speech development, whereas other three infants showed a typical postnatal development. In three cases, the parents chose to terminate the pregnancy.

Conclusions
The ultrasonic phenotype of fetuses with Xp22.33/Yp11.32 microdeletions resulting in SHOX heterozygosity loss is variable. Prenatal CMA can quickly and effectively diagnose Xp22.33/Yp11.32 microdeletions and SHOX loss, which may help prenatal counseling.

Authors: Liang Min , Gong Jingya , Xu Jianfeng , Liu Ru , Long Ling 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Formaldehyde-free adhesives are gaining attention due to their compatibility with green production methods. Decorative base paper (DBP) is known for its physical strength and printability and has a high ability for absorbing aldehyde-free adhesives for impregnation. In this paper, DBP was prepared with TiO2 and SiO2 combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), where the amount of TiO2 was reduced in the pulp process. The prepared DBP was impregnated by aldehyde-free adhesive and hot-pressed on wood-based panels. The results showed that upon SiO2 coating, the surface smoothness of base paper increased by 132.3 %, whereas the tensile strength increased by 33.6 %. Furthermore, the colour density of cyan, magenta, yellow and black colours increased by 75.4 %, 99.2 %, 51.9 % and 90.5 %, respectively. The surface properties like surface bonding strength and wear resistance of the covered wood-based panels were found to satisfy the standard requirements, which indicates the products can be used for furniture products.

Published: October 2023

On dokuzuncu yüzyılın sonlarında başlayan ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin son zamanlarında hızlanan kitlesel göçler, Birinci Dünya Savaşı sonunda kurulan yeni Türk devletinin de en önemli meselelerinden biri haline gelmiştir. 30 Ocak 1923 tarihinde Lozan’da “Türk-Yunan Nüfus Mübadelesi” sözleşmesi imzalanmıştır. Türkiye’de yaşayan Ortodoks Rum azınlık ile Yunanistan’da yaşayan Müslüman Türk azınlığın değişimi kararlaştırılmıştır. Bu sözleşmenin hükümlerini uygulaması için de Muhtelit Mübadele Komisyonu kurulmuştur.
Muhtelit Mübadele Komisyonu, karşılıklı göçü denetlemiş, kolaylaştırmış ve taşınır - taşınmaz malların tasfiyesi ile ilgilenmiştir. Mübadillerin bırakacakları mallara değer biçerek, bırakılan mala karşılık, borç tutarının yazılı olduğu belgeyi mübadile vermek gibi görevleri yerine getirmişlerdir. Türkiye ve Yunanistan’ın resmi temsilcileri olan komisyon üyeleri, bütün muhaceret işleri ile alâkadar olmuşlar, çalışmalarını daha etkin ve yerinden sürdürmek için Tali Komisyonlar kurmuşlardır.
Türk ve Yunan Nüfus Mübadelesine ilişkin oluşturulan Muhtelit Mübadele Komisyonu’nda Türkiye’yi Tevfik Rüştü (Aras) başkanlığında bir heyet temsil etmiştir. Komisyonun Atina’daki faaliyetleri sırasında, Tevfik Rüştü Bey sürekli olarak Ankara’ya komisyon toplantıları hakkında bilgi vermiş, tartışma konusu olan hususlarda Ankara’dan talimat beklemiştir. Tevfik Rüştü Bey, Yunanistan’daki Müslüman Türklerin, Türkiye’ye nakilleri esnasında, uğradıkları haksızlıkların giderilmesi ve mal ve mülklerinin mübadele sözleşmesine aykırı olarak ellerinden zorla alınması sürecinde, onların haklarını korumuş, bu konularda gerek komisyonun tarafsız üyeleriyle, gerek Yunan üyeleriyle ve gerekse Yunanistan Hükümeti yetkilileriyle büyük bir mücadele vermiştir. Konuyla ilgili olarak sürekli Ankara’ya, - çoğunlukla Başvekalete, bazen de Hariciye Vekaletine ve Mübadele, İmar ve İskan Vekaletine- ayrıntılı telgraflar göndermiştir.
Bu makalede, Muhtelit Mübadele Komisyonunun Türk Heyeti’nin reisi Tevfik Rüştü Bey’in, Atina’dan Ankara’ya gönderdiği telgraflar incelenmiş, mübadelenin gerçekleştiği dönemin bir kısmı değerlendirilmiştir.
Ceasefires as a Part of War, Peace Process, or a “No Peace, No War” Format
Authors: Stepanova E. 
Published: October 2023

Ceasefires are increasingly relevant for contemporary conflicts and conflict management. During the first two decades of the 21st century, ceasefires also became the most widespread form of outcome for conflicts with any conclusive outcome. Half of all ceasefires, however, either had not yet been part of a political negotiated process to address key incompatibilities contested in an armed conflict, or had no relation to any peace process at all. A ceasefire in its traditional interpretation – as a technical stage on the way to peace – increasingly becomes a ceasefire in the absence of peace and a pragmatic alternative to a stalled peace process. What are the goals and functions of ceasefires at different conflict stages, including, but not limited to, a peace process? What are the main types of ceasefire based on its key function in conflict and on underlying goals and motivations of its parties? The article explores these questions at the theoretical/conceptual and empirical levels, on the basis of analysis of available statistical data and drawing upon concrete examples in various contexts, with special attention to conflicts in Syria and Donbass. It offers an original functional-motivational typology of ceasefires classified into three types: ceasefires as part of hostilities; ceasefires ‘for the sake of peace’ that aim at supporting and preparing conditions for peace negotiations; and ceasefires as a format of an intermediate state of ‘neither peace, nor war’, including as a means of structuring this semi-frozen state to achieve a degree of stabilization. In practical terms, this typology helps clarify (а) the issue of effectiveness – success of failure – of a ceasefire that should not be expected to advance or deliver one type of outcome if one or all of its parties deliberately seek to use it to achieve another type of outcome; (b) the role of the factor of armed violence at the stage of a ceasefire that may achieve its main, underlying goals even if it does not lead to lasting cessation of hostilities.
