Abstract
Zhang, M, Chen, L, Dai, J, Yang, Q, Huang, Z, He, J, Ji, H, Sun, J, and Li, D. Application of a new monitoring variable: Effects of power loss during squat training on strength gains and sports performance. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—This study aimed to compare the effects of power loss (PL) autoregulated volume (PL10 and PL20) with standardized fixed-load (FL) prescription on strength, sports performance, and lean body mass (LBM). Thirty-five female basketball players from a sports college were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups (PL10, n = 12; PL20, n = 12; and FL, n = 11, respectively) that performed a resistance training (RT) program with wave-like periodization for 10 weeks using the back squat exercise. Assessments performed before (Pre) and after (Post) intervention included assessed 1 repetition maximum (1RM), body composition, 20-m sprint (T20M), change of direction (COD), and jump performance, including countermovement jump with arm swing, maximum vertical jump, and reactive strength index. Three groups showed significant improvements in strength (effect size [ES]: PL10 = 2.98, PL20 = 3.14, and FL = 1.90; p < 0.001) and jump performance (ES: PL10 = 0.74, PL20 = 1.50, and FL = 0.50; p <0.05–0.001). However, PL10 and PL20 demonstrated different advantages in sports performance compared with FL (group × time interaction, p <0.05). Specifically, PL10 significantly improved COD performance (ES = −0.79 ∼ −0.53, p <0.01), whereas PL20 showed greater improvements in sprint (ES = −0.57, p <0.05) and jump performance (ES = 0.67–1.64, p <0.01–0.001). Moreover, PL10 resulted in similar gains to PL20 and beneficial improvements compared with FL in LBM, despite performing the least repetitions. Overall, the study indicates that power loss–based autoregulation induces greater gains in LBM and sports performance, as well as eliciting a higher efficiency dose response than standardized FL prescriptions, particularly for PL10. Therefore, incorporating PL monitoring in training programs is recommended, and further studies on power-based RT would be worthwhile.
O DIREITO AO ACESSO À JUSTIÇA NO BRASIL: UM ESTUDO ACERCA DE SUA EVOLUÇÃO NAS CONSTITUIÇÕES BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Silva Souza Roberta Kelly 
Published: December 2023

O direito ao acesso à Justiça constitui um dos mais importantes temas do estudo do direito, mas não é possível afirma com precisão quando surgiu tal direito. No entanto, há indícios de preocupação com o acesso à Justiça desde o Código de Hamurabi (séculos XXI a XVII a. C.). No Brasil, surgiu explicitamente pela primeira vez na Constituição de 1946, mas em virtude de movimentos por parte dos políticos e governantes tal direito não era exercido na prática, existindo apenas no papel. Com a promulgação da “Constituição Cidadã” de 1988, o acesso à justiça foi efetivamente assegurado a todos os brasileiros e residentes no País, em seu artigo 5°, inciso XXXV, como direito fundamental. O presente estudo teve, portanto, como objetivo geral verificar e analisar a evolução histórica do acesso à Justiça nas Constituições brasileiras. Apesar da previsão constitucional do acesso à justiça, ainda há muito que se fazer para que o povo tenha um acesso digno e efetivo à Justiça, pois com a facilidade do acesso ao Poder Judiciário, o sistema está entrando em colapso, não suportando a quantidade de demandas ajuizadas, necessitando de outros meios para desafogar a crise judiciária, como a criação dos Juizados Especiais.
UNMANNED TRANSPORT AND THE REFORMATTING OF HUMAN NEEDS: NICHE AND EVOLUTIONARY SCENARIOS
Authors: Anokhov I. V. 
Published: December 2023

There are quite a few phenomena in human civilisation that could be compared to transport in terms of the scale and irreversibility of their impact on the development of society. The domestication of the horse and the invention of the wheel are rightly regarded as some of mankind’s greatest achievements. The current stage of transport development claims to be a Revolution 2.0: the advent of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GPS) has made it possible not only to locate but also to remotely control unmanned vehicles. In the near future, this could radically change both the transportation system and human life as a whole.The purpose of the article is to consider niche and evolutionary scenarios for the development of unmanned vehicles. It is proved that unmanned transport involves large scale and very similar transportation of homogeneous products in order to cover higher investment costs through economies of scale. In addition, such transport requires extreme predictability in the entire chain: from the receipt of raw materials to the delivery of the finished product to the end user. The accident intolerance of unmanned vehicles can be solved by creating an isolated transportation system along closed circuits in which there is no room for a person.The article notes that there is a non-zero probability that unmanned vehicles will not be able to outperform traditional transport in terms of their characteristics and will therefore only operate in certain market niches.

Published: December 2023

For most children, dental treatments are often completed within the normal dental setting using any of a variety of behavior management techniques. In some cases, special behavior management methods, including general anaesthesia (GA), could also be required to supply optimal dental treatment. The aim of the study is to analyse the prevalence of children undergoing general anesthesia above 6 years. The retrospective study was conducted in a private dental college, Chennai, India. Data has been collected from the records of the children above 6 years of age who were treated under general anesthesia between september 2020 and february 2021. A total of 13 children who have been treated under general anesthesia were included in the study. Data has been collected and following parameters like gender, age groups were tabulated in excel sheet and verified through SPSS software.It has been found that males were more prevalent than females. Children under 10 years were more prevalent than other age groups. Various studies suggest that children with repeated general anesthesia are more likely at the risk of developing behavioural problems and emotional changes compared to healthy children who were not exposed to general anesthesia . It has been observed that two or more exposure to general anesthesia before the age of four were associated with an increased risk of attention problems, cognitive impairment, and learning disabilities, moreover single exposure to the general anesthesia was not associated with learning disability. It is needed to ensure early detection and prompt treatment for these conditions in order to prevent further complications.

The main aim of the study was to find the antimicrobial properties of a poly methyl methacrylate resin (PMMA) which is modified with silver-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles. This research study was done to prove that the incorporation of silver-doped TiO2 nanoparticles improves the antimicrobial and antifungal properties.The poly methyl methacrylate resin (PMMA) powder was modified using 0 wt%(control) 1wt% and 3wt% silver doped TiO2 nanoparticles Test specimens were prepared of dimensions 5 mm × 5 mm × 2 mm. The antimicrobial properties of the specimens were evaluated by calculating CFU/ml. The obtained values were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal Wallis test, and post-hoc Tukey’s test at a significance level of 5%. The incorporation of silver-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles into denture base resin improved antimicrobial activity. Compared to 1% and 3% nanoparticle doped, 3% has given better antimicrobial activity calculated using CFU/ml. It is reduced to one-fourth the microbial growth compared to the control group. The addition of silver-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles to denture base resin is an effective method for antimicrobial and antifungal action.

Objectives: The size of the pulmonary valve annulus often determines the feasibility of pulmonary valve preservation at the time of intracardiac repair of Tetralogy of Fallot. Currently, there is limited available data regarding the growth pattern and the determining factors that contribute towards pulmonary valve annulus growth. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot with or without prior palliation. These patients had an echocardiogram at the time of initial diagnosis and a second echocardiogram prior to intracardiac repair. The sizes of the pulmonary annulus, the right and left pulmonary arteries with z-scores were recorded. Patients with improvement in the pulmonary annulus z-scores between the 2 echocardiographic examinations were allocated in Group I (n = 46) and Group II (n = 68) were those with no improvement. Results: A total of 114 patients were included in the study. The right and left pulmonary arteries size and z scores improved significantly between the 2 echocardiograms. Although the median size of the pulmonary annulus increased between the 2 echocardiograms (6 and 7.9 mm; P<0.001), there was no significant change in the z-score (-2.2, -2.34; P = 0.185). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, blood group, presence of collaterals, and palliation with Blalock-Taussig shunt had no impact on the improvement in pulmonary annulus z-score. Conclusion: In Tetralogy of Fallot, the pulmonary valve annulus z-score may not change significantly prior to the intracardiac repair. Although in certain subgroups there may be an improvement, there was no specific factor that could be identified and had an influence on this improvement.

Published: December 2023

Temporary epicardial cardiac pacing in patients with bradyarrhythmias may be used as a bridge to implantation of a permanent pacemaker. The temporary epicardial lead placement may sometimes necessitate a sternotomy that may pose a challenge in patients who have had multiple earlier sternotomies. The difficulty in accessing the epicardium for urgent implantation of temporary epicardial pacing leads depends on the extent of adhesions in such patients. We report an 8-year-8-month-old girl with a pacemaker with an extruded pulse generator and difficult myocardial access due to 5 prior transsternal procedures. The child presented to a tertiary care hospital in Muscat, Oman, in 2021. A trouble-shooting technique was adopted to achieve temporary epicardial pacing to provide time for a course of antibiotic therapy administration. A permanent transvenous pulse generator system was implanted after 7 days of temporary pacing.

Published: December 2023

Background: Canin leishmaniasis (CanL), mostly caused by Leishmania infantum, is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in dogs in the Mediterranean region. In this study, we aimed to determine the disease profile in this region by firstly making microscopic and then molecular analyzes in the samples taken from the dogs.
Methods: Overall, 112 whole blood samples taken from dogs for clinical applications by a veterinarian in Cankırı between December 2021 and November 2022 were used. After blood collection, both thin and thick drop blood smear preparations were prepared and evaluated for Giemsa staining. L. infantum was investigated by Real time-PCR (RT-PCR) method from all blood samples. Sequence analysis and phylogenetic tree study were performed on positive samples.
Results: Both microscopic and RT-PCR analyzes were performed. In both studies, 3 of the 112 samples were positive. Because of the sequence analysis, they were L. infantum. Sequence analysis was performed from the samples found 3 positive. The phylogenetic tree was drawn by making NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology) data entries of the positive samples (Accession numbers: OQ184728, OQ184729, OQ184730).
Conclusion: Dogs are important, as they are reservoir of this disease. In this study, 3 (2.7%) positive Leishmaniasis was detected in dogs in Cankırı. Ultimately, this should prompt discussion about new strategies going forward to combat infection caused by Leishmania.

Published: December 2023

Background: Enzymatic digestion of extra cellular matrix proteins by proteinases of Leishmania promastigotes is a complex process. Hence, studies on functional proteomics of these enzymes can help select these enzymes as possible vaccine candidates or selecting candidates for chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Several proteolytic enzymes are involved in virulence of Leishmania spp. These enzymes are mostly serine, cysteine and metalloproteases. We aimed to detect proteases in Leishmania promastigote exosomes.
Methods: Serine, cysteine and metalloproteases were investigated in exosomes and lysate of L. major promastigote using gelatin zymography. The study was carried out in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2021.
Results: Zymography findings of metalloproteinases showed transparent bands, including a 63-kDa glycoprotein (GP63). This glycoprotein is a major surface metalloproteinase. In addition, transparent bands belonged to serin proteases and cathepsin were demonstrated in gels associated to Leishmania promastigote lysate and exosomes.
Conclusion: Several metalloproteases, serin proteases and cathepsins were shown in promastigote lysate and exosomes of L. major, which could purified and used as fractions for immunodiagnostic.

Published: December 2023

After 22 October 2020, when the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland announced the judgment on the protection of foetuses and grounds for permitting the termination of pregnancy, a vast wave of civic protests swept through Poland. During these protests, new spaces for expression of discontent and resistance that were previously absent during protests against the tightening of abortion laws emerged. Their innovation was largely based on creating boundary areas with their liminality clearly beyond the sub-world of protests. Relations between the emotionality and rationality of the protestors’ actions played a unique role in this process. This text is an attempt to diagnose the tendencies signalled above.
Ochotnicza Straż Pożarna. Socjologiczne konteksty fotografii pożarniczej
Authors: Marcysiak Tomasz 
Published: December 2023

Ochotnicze Straże Pożarne to jedne z najstarszych i najaktywniejszych organizacji pozarządowych w Polsce. Ich działalność na przestrzeni lat podlegała wielu przemianom między innymi z powodu dynamicznego rozwoju Państwowej Straży Pożarnej, która przejęła na siebie większość działań ratowniczo-gaśniczych. Nie oznacza to osłabienia aktywności OSP, a jedynie przeniesienie ciężaru działań na imprezy integrujące lokalną społeczność, czy oprawę uroczystości świeckich i kościelnych. Wiele jednostek OSP nadal utrzymuje wysoką sprawność ratowniczą, bo choć na obszarach wiejskich odnotowuje się znaczny spadek pożarów, to jednak wciąż istnieją zagrożenia, podczas których w pierwszej kolejności interweniują strażacy-ochotnicy. W prezentowanym materiale wizualnym pokazano wydarzenia z udziałem OSP, które na stałe wpisane są w ich roczny kalendarz, między innymi: asystę honorową podczas Triduum Paschalnego, zawody strażackie i pokazy przedszkolnej drużyny strażackiej, ćwiczenia pożarnicze, dożynki gminne. Materiał ukazuje różnorodność umundurowania i przede wszystkim relacje pomiędzy strażakami, które w swym symbolicznym wymiarze stanowią najważniejszy czynnik podtrzymujący tradycję i tożsamość strażaków-ochotników oraz etos ich misji.
