Physiological Responses During Karate Kata in Practitioners and Athletes: A Scoping Review
Authors: Lassalvia Cintia , Julio Ursula Ferreira , Franchini Emerson 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT

Kata is a relevant task practiced by karatekas during karate sessions and an important competitive category that has made its debut at the Tokyo Olympic Games. This scoping review article presents what is already known about the physiological demands, and energy system contribution during kata practice in athletes and practitioners. The focus was related to heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration ([La]), and oxygen consumption (V̇o
2). Studies were retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus, and in 104 articles found, 10 were considered eligible for this review. The results showed that kata practice can improve cardiorespiratory fitness. HR and lactate values changed according to the kata performed and the level of the performer's expertise. Lactate responses increased significantly after 3 kata repetitions compared with resting values. The energy system contribution was related to the kata duration, with the oxidative system being the predominant energy source in the longer kata, which is usually executed during competitions.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
The measurement, analysis, and reporting of physical qualities within sport is vital for practitioners to support athlete development. However, several challenges exist to support this process (e.g., establishing comparative data, managing large data sets) within sport. This article presents 7 challenges associated with physical testing in sport and offers solutions to overcome them. These solutions are supported by a description of the Profiling Physical Qualities (ProPQ) tool. The ProPQ tool uses advanced data analysis, visualization, and interactive elements, to enhance stakeholders' use of data to optimize player development and coaching practices. The ProPQ is currently used across rugby league in England.

Abstract
A practical procedure of creep life prediction has already been applied to an in-service boiler steam pipe in Japan. The procedure is based on a few creep tests by a small punch creep (SPC) specimen machined from a thin coupon sample, which is successfully taken from the outer surface of the pipe by an electric discharge sampling equipment. However, a coefficient converting the applied load into stress is required in the application of the SPC test data to the life prediction. Thus, in this study, as an alternative specimen with a dimension equivalent to a SPC disc specimen (8 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness), a thin plate specimen referred to as the ultra-miniature creep (UMC) specimen (2 mm in width, 10 mm in length, and 0.5 mm in thickness) was devised for a uniaxial tension creep test. Compared to the creep and creep-rupture properties obtained by a standard round bar (φ6 mm) specimen machined from a replaced steam pipe material (ASME Grade 91 steel), the stress-rupture relationship of the UMC specimen was found to coincide with that of the standard one. However, the creep strain and creep rate of the UMC specimen measured by a pull-rod displacement were larger than those of the standard one. From an elastic-creep analysis by a finite element method, this was attributed to superimposition of creep deformation in a grip portion clamping the UMC specimen on the creep strain in the parallel portion of the specimen. So, from the analytical results, an adjustment factor was derived to modify the creep property of the UMC specimen. As a result, application of this factor was found to lead to coincidence of the creep property between UMC and standard specimens.

Published: March 2022

Context
Hypothalamic injury often leads to rapid, intractable weight gain causing hypothalamic obesity, which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity and mortality. There are no approved or effective pharmacological treatments for hypothalamic obesity, and conventional lifestyle management remains ineffective.

Objective
To investigate the safety and efficacy of Tesomet (0.5 mg tesofensine/50 mg metoprolol) in adults with hypothalamic obesity.

Methods
Twenty-one adults with hypothalamic obesity (16 females) were randomized to Tesomet (0.5 mg/50 mg) or placebo for 24 weeks. Patients also received diet/lifestyle counselling. The primary endpoint was safety; secondary endpoints included measures of body weight, appetite scores, quality of life, and metabolic profile.

Results
Eighteen patients completed 24 weeks. Consent withdrawal, eligibility, and serious adverse events (SAE) unrelated to treatment resulted in dropouts. One patient experienced a Tesomet-related SAE of exacerbated pre-existing anxiety leading to treatment discontinuation. Tesomet-related adverse events were otherwise mostly mild and included sleep disturbances (Tesomet 50%, placebo 13%), dry mouth (Tesomet 43%, placebo 0%), and headache (Tesomet 36%, placebo 0%). No significant differences in heart rate or blood pressure were observed between groups. Compared to placebo, Tesomet resulted in additional mean (95% CI) weight change of −6.3% ((−11.3; −1.3); P  = 0.017), increased the number of patients achieving ≥5% weight loss (Tesomet 8/13, placebo 1/8; P  = 0.046), and tended to augment the reduction in waist circumference by 5.7 cm ((−0.1; 11.5); P  = 0.054).

Conclusion
Tesomet was welltolerated, did not affect heart rate or blood pressure, and resulted in significant reductions in body weight compared to placebo in adults with hypothalamic obesity.

Published: March 2022

This study aims to determine the relationship between profitability, good corporate governance, dividend policy, and firm value from 2016-2018 in manufacturing companies at ISSI. This study uses classical assumption tests and path analysis. The results show that the board of commissioners has a significant negative effect on profitability and has no impact on firm value. The audit committee and dividend policy do not affect profitability and firm value. Profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value. Profitability mediates the impact of the board of commissioners and dividend policy but does not mediate the audit committee on firm value. This finding shows a relationship between variables that impact firm value. The implication of this research is to suggest that investors need to look at the company's prospects by paying attention to the company's value and analyzing the company's performance by considering the influencing factors.

Authors: Orduz-Rodríguez Javier Orlando , Rodríguez-Polanco Eleonora 
Published: March 2022

Introducción. La demanda mundial de nuez de marañón (Anacardium occidentale L.) ha crecido a más del 7 % anual, mientras que la producción lo hace a un ritmo del 6 % anual. Esta condición de mercado global coloca al marañón y sus derivados como una alternativa agrícola promisoria en Colombia, donde se importan cerca de 270 t de almendra al año. Objetivo. Exponer los aspectos básicos del cultivo de marañón, así como evidenciar el desarrollo tecnológico actual y las perspectivas futuras en Colombia. Desarrollo. Aproximadamente el 60 % del área cultivada en marañón en Colombia presenta rendimientos promedios inferiores a 100 kg ha-1 de nuez, considerados bajos comparados con los 1000 kg ha-1 o incluso superiores que pueden ser obtenidos con un manejo tecnificado del cultivo, situación debida al desconocimiento y escasa aplicación de tecnologías para la producción intensiva por parte de los productores. No obstante, en la actualidad existe la oferta tecnológica de clones de marañón con características productivas y de calidad sobresalientes, al igual que recomendaciones técnicas de manejo agronómico del cultivo y poscosecha de la nuez, que pueden ser difundidas e implementadas para abordar las principales limitantes del cultivo, para mejorar la producción de marañón de manera rentable y sostenible a nivel ambiental. Conclusión. La sostenibilidad de las plantaciones comerciales actuales de marañón y el incremento de las áreas de siembra en Colombia, requieren de la validación y adopción de tecnologías innovadoras en el manejo integrado del cultivo y poscosecha que podrían impactar en el cultivo de marañón en el país, al presentar alternativas de mejora en su comportamiento productivo, así como rentabilidad para los productores.
The principle of publicity as a constitutional category with special focus on civil contested procedure
Authors: Qehaja Rrustem , Ajeti Arbnor 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
One of the basic principles in civil contested procedure is the principle of publicity. Our aim in this scientific paper is to address this principle from all legal points of view in order to make a concrete review of what the principle of publicity in civil contested procedure implies, and how this principle is guaranteed based on legal acts, since in order to have regular judicial process it is necessary to respect all rights and procedures that are guaranteed by legal acts, and among them the principle of publicity plays a key role. The importance of this scientific paper consists in how it addresses several comparative legal aspects regarding the principle of publicity as a constitutional category under Article 6 (1) of the European Convention on Human Rights, and in the legislations of Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia. We also address the principle of publicity as a fundamental principle in civil contested procedure, the violation of legal rules related to publicity, and the exclusion of the public from trial. Therefore, bearing in mind the importance of the right to a fair trial, we address the principle of publicity, with special emphasis on contentious civil proceedings.
Al–Mn–Cr–Zr-based alloys tailored for powder bed fusion-laser beam process: Alloy design, printability, resulting microstructure and alloy properties
Authors: Mehta Bharat , Nyborg Lars , Frisk Karin , Hryha Eduard 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study introduces a family of unique Al–Mn–Cr–Zr-based aluminium alloys illustrated by two ternary and one quaternary variants. The choice of alloy compositions has created a system resistant to solidification cracking while retaining high amount of solutes in solid solution in as-printed condition. Good relative density (~ 99.5%) has been demonstrated along with microstructural study supported by X-ray diffraction to display solidification structure with nanometric precipitate formation in small amounts in as-printed condition. High levels of Mn and Cr produce significant solid solution strengthening reaching hardness of up to 102 HV in as-printed condition. Additionally, the combination of Mn, Cr and Zr is shown to be important to control precipitation strengthening upon direct ageing and coarsening resistance due to slow diffusivity. To elucidate the concept of precipitation strengthening, one set of alloys was aged at 678 K between 0 and 10 h and microhardness results showed that average hardness response reached 130 HV for the quarternary alloy.

Published: March 2022

Significance Statement
Levels of TNF receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) vary considerably among patients with CKD; those with higher levels have faster subsequent disease progression. The reasons why some individuals have higher levels of biomarkers of inflammation and injury are unknown. In this observational cohort study, the authors investigated whether these higher biomarker levels reflect effects of prior episodes of AKI. They found that levels of TNFR1, TNFR2, and KIM-1 in banked plasma samples increased after AKI, and these elevations persist for months, a longer timeframe than examined in prior studies. These findings may provide insight into the pathophysiology of kidney disease progression and the potential role of AKI episodes punctuating the course of CKD.

Background
Some markers of inflammation—TNF receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2)—are independently associated with progressive CKD, as is a marker of proximal tubule injury, kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1). However, whether an episode of hospitalized AKI may cause long-term changes in these biomarkers is unknown.

Methods
Among adult participants in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study, we identified 198 episodes of hospitalized AKI (defined as peak/nadir inpatient serum creatinine values ≥1.5). For each AKI hospitalization, we found the best matched non-AKI hospitalization (unique patients), using prehospitalization characteristics, including eGFR and urine protein/creatinine ratio. We measured TNFR1, TNFR2, and KIM-1 in banked plasma samples collected at annual CRIC study visits before and after the hospitalization (a median of 7 months before and 5 months after hospitalization).

Results
In the AKI and non-AKI groups, we found similar prehospitalization median levels of TNFR1 (1373 pg/ml versus 1371 pg/ml, for AKI and non-AKI, respectively), TNFR2 (47,141 pg/ml versus 46,135 pg/ml, respectively), and KIM-1 (857 pg/ml versus 719 pg/ml, respectively). Compared with matched study participants who did not experience AKI, study participants who did experience AKI had greater increases in TNFR1 (23% versus 10%, P<0.01), TNFR2 (10% versus 3%, P<0.01), and KIM-1 (13% versus −2%, P<0.01).

Conclusions
Among patients with CKD, AKI during hospitalization was associated with increases in plasma TNFR1, TNFR2, and KIM-1 several months after their hospitalization. These results highlight a potential mechanism by which AKI may contribute to more rapid loss of kidney function months to years after the acute insult.

Objetivo. Realizar una aproximación al debate que se ha desarrollado en el trabajo social brasileño entre algunos autores y autoras, específicamente Iamamoto, Lessa y Costa, sobre la relación entre el trabajo social y el trabajo, con base en la teoría social de Marx, a partir de la necesidad de analizar los límites y las posibilidades del trabajo social en la construcción de una sociedad emancipada, tanto en el ámbito de la intervención, como en el ámbito de la producción teórica. Discusión. Se analizan los postulados diversos, y en algunas ocasiones contradictorios, de estos/as autores/as, a partir de cuatro puntos centrales identificados: trabajo abstracto - trabajo concreto; proceso de trabajo; trabajo productivo - trabajo improductivo; y asalariados-proletariado. Conclusiones. Se ubica al trabajo social en el complejo de la reproducción social; este no puede ser considerado como trabajo concreto, aunque sí como trabajo asalariado, que, según las circunstancias concretas, puede producir plusvalía.
Activity-Based Checks (ABCs) of Pain: A Functional Pain Scale Used by Surgical Patients
Authors: Ho Bao Vincent , Beatty Simon , Warnky David , Sykes Kevin , Villwock Jennifer 
Published: March 2022

Introduction. Increased rates of surgery, combined with concerns about high-risk pain medications, have highlighted the need for improved methods of meaningfully assessing pain. In response to lack of medical context and functional data in existing scales, the Activity-Based Checks (ABCs) was developed.
Methods. This prospective, cohort study was deployed at a single-institution, academic center. The primary outcome was to correlate the ABCs to the 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS) in postoperative general surgery patients. Secondary outcomes included assessing the impact of patient factors and prescribing patterns on opioid consumption, in milligrams of morphine equivalents (MME) after discharge.
Results. The function that correlated most to the NRS at discharge was “Out of Bed to Chair”. Indicators of better mental health were inversely correlated with MME consumption. Interestingly, the largest predictor of MME taken was MME prescribed. Over 40% of prescribed opioids goes unused.
Conclusions. Functional pain scales, like the ABCs, may be useful adjuncts to evaluate pain. Individual functions, e.g., “Out of Bed to Chair” may be of particular importance. Clinicians must be aware that the strongest predictor of MMEs taken by patients was MMEs prescribed, highlighting the importance of better pain assessments and opioid stewardship.

Published: March 2022

Introduction. Although the use of antifibrinolytics to reduce perioperative blood loss during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has shown unequivocal benefit in regard to blood conservation, the best route of administration remains in question. We tested the hypothesis that topical delivery of epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) was superior to intravenous (IV) administration in the setting of primary TKA.
Methods. This cross-sectional study included a 6-year retrospective chart review of TKA patients done by a single surgeon. We compared post-operative hemoglobin levels and the incidence of blood transfusions among 3 patient subgroups: no EACA, topical EACA, or IV EACA. Key outcome measures included postoperative hemoglobin, need for postoperative transfusion, and length of hospital stay.
Results. Of the 668 patients included in this study, 351 (52.5%) received IV EACA, 298 (44.6%) received topical EACA, and 19 (2.8%) received no EACA. For the 3-way comparisons, significant differences were observed for postoperative mean hemoglobin on day 1 (p < 0.001), day 2 (p < 0.001), and day 3 (p = 0.004) with consistently higher means for participants in the topical group. Eight patients required transfusion in the IV EACA group, but none were needed in the topical EACA group (p = 0.027). Length of stay was shortest for patients in the topical group with 66% staying hospitalized for two days, while 84% of the IV group remained hospitalized for three days (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: The topical delivery of EACA is superior to IV administration with respect to blood conservation for patients undergoing primary TKA.
