Return to Performance Protocols and Criteria Specific to Aerobic Capacity for Aerobic Athletes Who Sustain Lower Extremity Injuries: A Narrative Review
Authors: Choice Erin , Downey Rebecca 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACTReturn to performance (RTP) protocols vary greatly between sports due to energy system involvement, physical and biomechanical skills, injury type and severity, and varied recommendations from members of the interprofessional care team. Return decisions are guided by clinical reasoning, expert opinion, experience, and sport-specific frameworks. Lower extremity injuries that prevent athletes from continuous aerobic training lead to decreased aerobic capacity upon return, which is linked to increased risk of injury or reinjury. This narrative review compares documented rehabilitation programs and RTP protocols and criteria specific to aerobic capacity for athletes who sustain lower extremity injuries in highly aerobic sports. Databases were searched from 2010 to 2022, yielding 9 primary articles and 11 review articles. No RTP protocol specific to aerobic capacity was identified. Considering the lack of evidence regarding aerobic capacity testing and prescription in RTP protocols, research is necessary to determine the significance of aerobic capacity recommended for RTP. Strength and conditioning coaches should be aware of the decreased aerobic capacity at the time of return, thus the need for additional testing, and implement individualized aerobic conditioning programs to optimize return. .

AbstractNeural population dynamics provide a key computational framework for understanding information processing in the sensory, cognitive, and motor functions of the brain. They systematically depict complex neural population activity, dominated by strong temporal dynamics as trajectory geometry in a low-dimensional neural space. However, neural population dynamics are poorly related to the conventional analytical framework of single-neuron activity, the rate-coding regime that analyzes firing rate modulations using task parameters. To link the rate-coding and dynamic models, we developed a variant of state-space analysis in the regression subspace, which describes the temporal structures of neural modulations using continuous and categorical task parameters. In macaque monkeys, using two neural population datasets containing either of two standard task parameters, continuous and categorical, we revealed that neural modulation structures are reliably captured by these task parameters in the regression subspace as trajectory geometry in a lower dimension. Furthermore, we combined the classical optimal-stimulus response analysis (usually used in rate-coding analysis) with the dynamic model and found that the most prominent modulation dynamics in the lower dimension were derived from these optimal responses. Using those analyses, we successfully extracted geometries for both task parameters that formed a straight geometry, suggesting that their functional relevance is characterized as a unidimensional feature in their neural modulation dynamics. Collectively, our approach bridges neural modulation in the rate-coding model and the dynamic system, and provides researchers with a significant advantage in exploring the temporal structure of neural modulations for pre-existing datasets.

Esta contribución trata por un lado el temprano origen de los sellos casitas del Primer Grupo en el siglo XV a.C., con motivo de los documentos descubiertos en la fase "City IIIa" de Qal'at al-Bahrain, así como el análisis cronológico de las inscripciones de los propietarios de los sellos; y por otro ciertas composiciones esquemáticas y atributos de la glíptica de Dilmun, que pudieran haber servido como modelo para la iconografía casita del Segundo Grupo y para formas codificadas del dios Enki.Palabras clave: Glíptica de Dilmun, la "City IIIa" de Qal'at al-Bahrain, Ea, Enki, Inzak, palmera, palma, embarcaciones divinas, codificación de los dioses.. AbstractThis paper discusses the Kassite relations with Dilmun under iconographical aspects. Since impressions of first group Kassite seals had been found on tablets from Qal´at al-Bahrain City IIIa, dating from the first half of the 15th century b.C., new chronological standards have to be placed. Also the investigation of seal legends mentioning personalities can help us to date seal images. Further on, the cultural influence between Babylonia and Dilmun was ambivalent, so antithetical compositions from Dilmun Glyptic could well have served as a pattern for the second group Kassite iconography. More over, there are defined attributes which can be considered as code forms of the god Enki in Dilmunite as well as Kassite glyptic.Keywords: Dilmun glyptic, Qal´at al-Bahrain “City IIIa”, Ea, Enki, Inzak, palm tree, palm branch, divine boats, code of gods.
Why do Polls Underestimate Mid-sized Parties in Indonesia?
Authors: Soderborg Seth 
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Indonesian public opinion surveys consistently underestimate support for five mid-sized parties: PKB, PKS, NasDem, PAN, and PPP. This paper explores whether this consistent underestimation is the result of social desirability bias, late decisions or late mobilization, candidate-driven voter preferences, or sampling design. I find some evidence that parties with stronger mobilization networks and more candidate-centric strategies are more likely to be underestimated. A simulation study suggests that sampling design does not systematically disadvantage the parties in question. While social desirability bias is a possible cause of the downward bias, scholarly literature casts doubt on the social undesirability of expressed support for the parties. Further research should examine whether the types of voters who support the five underestimated parties might be harder to reach in surveys. Public opinion pollsters should consider noting in public statements that these mid-sized parties have tended to outperform their polls on election day. Keywords: Public opinion surveys; mid-sized parties; social desirability bias; pollster; sampling design; Indonesia. Abstrak. Survei-survei opini publik Indonesia pra-pemilu secara konsisten menemukan dukungan kepada lima partai menengah: PKB, PKS, NasDem, PAN, dan PPP cenderung lebih rendah dibanding hasil aktual pemilu. Artikel ini menginvestigasi apakah prediksi yang lebih rendah dan konsisten ini merupakan akibat dari bias keinginan sosial (social desirability bias), pilihan elektoral atau mobilisasi yang telat, preferensi pemilih yang digerakkan oleh kandidat, atau desain pengambilan sampel. Naskah ilmiah ini menemukan bukti bahwa partai-partai dengan jaringan mobilisasi yang kuat dan strategi yang lebih berpusat pada kandidat cenderung kurang tercermin dinamika elektabilitasnya dalam survei. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa desain sampling tidak secara sistematis berkontribusi atas kegagalan survei dalam memprediksi dukungan partai-partai menengah. Meskipun bias keinginan sosial adalah faktor yang memungkinkan penyebab angka elektabilitas yang terekam dalam survei cenderung rendah, literatur ilmiah sejauh ini meragukan bahwa bias tersebut merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh untuk kasus ini. Perlu studi lebih lanjut untuk mengkaji apakah sekelompok pemilih yang mendukung lima partai menengah yang mencatat bias dukungan lebih rendah di atas mungkin lebih sulit dijangkau dalam survei atau tidak. Lembaga-lembaga survei sebaiknya mempertimbangkan untuk menyampaikan kepada publik bahwa partai-partai menengah ini pada hari pemilihan cenderung mendapat dukungan lebih besar dibanding prediksi-prediksi survei pra-pemilu. Kata Kunci: survei opini publik; partai menengah; bias keinginan sosial; lembaga survei; desain pengambilan sampel; Indonesia.
Thinking beyond cut-off scores in the assessment of potentially addictive behaviors: A brief illustration in the context of binge-watching
Authors: Billaux Pauline , Billieux Joël , Baggio Stéphanie , Maurage Pierre , Flayelle Maèva 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWhile applying a diagnostic approach (i.e., comparing “clinical” cases with “healthy” controls) is part of our methodological habits as researchers and clinicians, this approach has been particularly criticized in the behavioral addictions research field, in which a lot of studies are conducted on “emerging” conditions. Here we exemplify the pitfalls of using a cut-off-based approach in the context of binge-watching (i.e., watching multiple episodes of series back-to-back) by demonstrating that no reliable cut-off scores could be determined with a widely used assessment instrument measuring binge-watching.

Published: June 2023

Background and Study Purpose. Body composition analysis by bioimpedance is a modern investigation method that provides additional and relevant information, compared to the classical assessment, based only on BMI levels. The purpose of the research is to compare body composition parameters for secondary school girls, according to the stages of puberty and to identify the differences that appear between these stages.
Material and Methods. The investigated group was made up of 115 non-athlete girls from the urban environment, divided into two distinct age categories: 10-12 years/55 cases (Under 12 with age=10.97±0.40, BMI=19.53±3.71, percentiles BMI=65.52± 25.78) and 12-13 years/end of puberty/60 cases (Over 12 with age=12.30±0.30 BMI=20.72±3.62, BMI percentiles=66.13±28.23). The assessment carried out with Inbody 720/Biospace (Korea).
Results. Reporting to the percentile ranges indicates the absence of Underweight cases for the Over 12 group and only 7.27% of the Under 12 group falls within these values. In both groups, the Normal Weight class dominates (67.27% for Under 12 and 63.34% for Over 12), and the percentages of Overweight and Obese cases are higher for Over 12 (23.33% and 13.33%, respectively). The distribution according to body composition indicates the slim type for about a quarter of the students of both groups, but also the placement of a large number of subjects in the Chubby/normal type category (29.10% for Under 12 and 20% for Over 12). According to the percentage of mass fat, the Over 12 group has a double percentage of Obesity for high level, compared to Under 12 group (23.33% vs. 10.90%). The Over 12 group has statistically higher values (P<0.05) for body fat mass (BFM), Skeletal lean mass (SLM), fat free mass (FFM), total body water (TBW), Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) and has a much higher number of cases reporting abdominal obesity/ waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (33.34% vs. 14.55%).
Conclusions. The analysis of body composition by bioimpedance allowed the precise identification of the ratio between the main components of the body, clearly highlighting the cases with problems related to the very high percentage of fat mass. In this sense, for many girls who fell according to the BMI percentiles in the Normal Weight category, the low percentage of muscle tissue and the excessive amounts of fat generated the reclassification in the Chubby/normal type or Obese/excessive fat type categories. The results confirm the increase in percentages of overweight and obese children for the last stage of puberty.

Published: June 2023

Paving with recycled aggregates has already been widely carried out in some countries where there is already consolidated knowledge on the subject. This work analyzes in the laboratory the physical and mechanical behavior aspects of recycled aggregate in concrete mixes for rigid pavements. After selective collection at a construction site, the waste undergoes a crushing process, subsequent to granulation and separation into fractions to be used again in the realization of a new mixture with 40 and 100% replacement of natural gravel for recycled with the addition of structural concrete fibers that decrease shrinkage and increase final strength. In the same mix, these mixtures were compared with a conventional mixture that obtained better performance and presented greater compressive strength. The study sought to analyze the technical feasibility of using recycled material, testing the thickness of several concrete slabs for application on the pavement. Thus, it is concluded that the analyzed recycled aggregate is of promising use in hard pavement coating, as it presents a compressive strength superior to 25 MPa.

Published: June 2023

The scientiﬁc and technological progress permeates inexorably into all spheres of society, regardless of their wishes. Information technologies transform the daily life of every person to such an extent that the society itself is commonly called an information society. It is impossible to study the processes of information society without a fundamental understanding of the concept itself. This creates a basis for analyzing the mechanisms of dynamics of transformation processes evolving with the developing society. The only way to proceed successfully is to use a comprehensive systematic approach, based on the synthesis of theories, principles, techniques of research that will be able to provide both an increase in socio-philosophical knowledge, and the utilitarian efﬁciency of practical construction and management of transformation processes.This creates the goal of the article – to formulate our own description of the information society, including the deﬁnition and the list of its key characteristics. The goal is the basis for the article’s task: to prepare a theoretical basis for further, more in-depth research into the prospects of information society development.

Published: June 2023

In this paper, possibilities for the bandwidth and wavelength utilization in future next-generation passive optical networks are presented and reasons for realizing and utilizing of extended dynamic wavelength and bandwidth algorithms for NG-PON2 networks are analyzed. Next, principles of the effective dynamic bandwidth allocation are introduced in details, focused on the importance of the decision criterion optimization. For achieving better bandwidth utilization of dedicated wavelengths, this paper is focused on the novel effective dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm with adaptive allocation of wavelengths to ONU units and on the optimization of the decision criterion. For analyzing the novel extended DWBA algorithm utilizing for various wavelength allocation cases possible in NG-PON2 networks, a simulation program with the enhancement of the EDBA algorithm is realized. Finally, an optimization of the decision criterion defining a minimum bandwidth utilization of the actual wavelength is executed for NG-PON2 networks based on the hybrid TWDM technique.

Background: Many fungal infections are responsible for human skin damages, to control their negative action, some aromatic and medicinal plants are traditionally used by local population in Cameroon. The present study was carried out to determine the chemical composition of essential oils of Eugenia caryophylla and Mentha sp cf piperita and their antifungal activity on some human pathogenic fungi.
Materials and methods: Essential oils from Eugenia caryophylla and Mentha sp cf piperita were extracted by steam distillation using Clevenger apparatus and the antifungal activity was evaluated on six human pathogenic fungal strains; two yeasts (Candida albicans 1 and Candida albicans 2) and four dermatophytes (Tricophyton rubrum 1, T. rubrum 2, T. violaceum, and T. soudanensis) using modified broth microdilution method M27-A3 and M38-A respectively.
Results: The essential oils obtained yielded of 5.9 for Eugenia caryophylla and 0.2% Mentha sp cf piperita respectively. The chemical composition was assigned by GC and GC/SM and showed that E. caryophylla was mainly composed of eugenol (80.0 %), -caryophyllene (8.3%), and eugenol acetate (6.7%) while Mentha sp cf piperita was characterized by piperitone (67.5 %), menthol (10.0 %) and ß-phellandrene (5.8%). The result showed that essential oil of E. caryophylla exhibit the highest antifungal activity with MICs and MFC of 0.25µL/mL and 0.125µL/mL for filamentous fungi and MIC of 0.5 µL/mL for both yeast strains while MFC value was 1 µL/mL for one yeast strain and not determined for the second. MFCs Mentha sp cf piperita essential oil showed a weak activity with a MIC of 2.5 µL/mL on Tricophyton strains while no activity was exhibited on Candida albicans strains.
Conclusion: The results of this work can be used to confirm their traditional uses and can also be proposed as natural ingredients to some industries to treat superficial infections.
“Al margen de Cicerón. Querido amigo”: la recepción de Cicerón en la poesía de Jorge Guillén
Authors: Molina Mellado Gema María 
Published: June 2023

“Al margen de Cicerón. Querido amigo”, incluido en la sección “Al margen” de Homenaje (1967), nos invita al estudio de una manifestación de la recepción clásica en la obra poética de Jorge Guillén (1893-1984). Tras su acercamiento al tratado ciceroniano Lelius o De amicitia, el profesor-poeta desarrolla una profunda reflexión sobre la naturaleza de la amistad y las dificultades que debe afrontar, hasta llegar a la conclusión de que la amistad es uno de los valores más importantes de la vida humana. Si se ha afirmado que el grupo de poetas del 27 es la “generación de la amistad”, Jorge Guillén, como destacado miembro del grupo, es también el poeta de la amistad: de ahí que sea este el aspecto que más le interesa de Cicerón.
Palabras clave: Jorge Guillén, Cicerón, Laelius de amicitia, Recepción Clásica, hipertextualidad.
Localization of Underwater Sensor Networks for Ranging Interference based on the AdaDelta Gradient Descent Algorithm
Authors: Zhou Ziyu , Zhou Xingyu , Xing Guozhen , Jin Zhigang , Chen Ye , Yang Qiuling 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The precise localization of sensor nodes is a key link in underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) applications. Furthermore, the nodes in UWSNs should be able to independently determine their relative positions before they begin to receive and transmit data to each other. Most of the existing underwater localization algorithms are based on the anchor nodes with known locations, and the rest of the nodes can be calculated by the anchor nodes. The iterative localization process has been proposed for the localization of UWSNs, in which some positioned nodes as reference nodes are selected for iterative localization. However, in real scenarios, some anchor nodes may be destroyed naturally or artificially damaged or even used to convey misleading information to interfere with the precise localization of other nodes underwater. This paper proposes a computationally efficient localization algorithm that can accurately locate the sensor nodes underwater to resist such network attacks. The proposed algorithm achieves better localization accuracy by iteratively removing misleading information transmitted from interfering nodes based on the Time Difference of Arrival ranging mapping and combining selective minimum gradient of AdaDelta gradient descent (AGD). The simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm performs better under network attacks than the existing algorithms.
Energy Aware Clustering and Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network: Chicken Swarm Optimization based Approach
Authors: Dohare Indu , Singh Karan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Lifetime expansion and balanced energy utilization among sensor nodes broadly is a significant problem in the sensor networks. Due to the battery's limitations, equal energy utilization between the sensors is necessary to prevent excessive energy consumption. Metaheuristic methods are a well suitable in such issues, as heuristic calculations might transform into NP-hard problems. CSO proved to establish a good equilibrium between determinacy and randomness for finding the optima. In this paper, we proposed a hierarchal ordered chicken swarm optimization (CSO) based routing and clustering approach among sensor nodes. In this manner, firstly we proposed a CSO based cluster head (CH) selection algorithm which considered remaining energy of the nodes, node’s degree, and distance of the node to the sink node (SN). Furthermore, CSO is applied for next-hop selection for data transmission to the destination node. The evaluated results indicate that the suggested scheme succeeded to diminution the energy depletion and extend the network lifespan in comparison to state-of-the-art algorithms.
