Effect of TheraBand Flex Bar versus Strengthening Exercise in Patients with Lateral Epicondylitis
Authors: Kalai Biva Rani , Subramanian Sudhakar 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is an exertion or sporting-connected aching condition of the extensor muscles of the forearm. The core warning signs are pain and soreness of the outside on the elbow and grip strength weakness. The investigation aims to differentiate the effect of TheraBand flex bar versus strengthening exercise on pain, grip strength, range of motion, and functional status.
Objectives To find the effects of TheraBand flex bar, strengthening exercise, and compare the effects of Thera band flex bar versus strengthening exercise on the elbow pain, handgrip strength, elbow and wrist range of motion, and functional disability status in lateral epicondylitis.
Design Quasi-experimental study.
Methods Thirty (30) patients with lateral epicondylitis were enrolled, both male and female, randomly assigned to control or 6-week training groups. They were subdivided into two groups. Subjects were pre-tested and post-tested using a hand-held dynamometer, the VAS, PRTEE Questionnaire Functional status, and goniometer.
Results The results showed a statistically significant difference between pre and post-treatment in the study batch. The results show that Batch-1 and Batch-2 were significantly improved with p-values of 0.000, 0.004, 0.000, 0.001, 0.001, 0.004 at p < 0.05.
Conclusion In this study, the TheraBand flex bar and the strengthening exercise for lateral epicondylitis effectively reduced pain, enlarged the functional status, and improved the range of function within 30 subjects with lateral epicondylitis. The study concluded that TheraBand flex bar in Batch-1 and strengthening exercise in Batch-2 significantly improved VAS, PRTEE, handgrip strength, and ROM. The study's outcome suggests that TheraBand flex bar and strengthening exercise of extensors muscles of the wrist can be productive for the treatment among lateral epicondylitis (LE) sufferers.

Abstract
Introducing material that helps to develop intercultural competence in English class brings the opportunity to
reflect upon topics such as identity and representation. One way to do it is by introducing gender-neutral pronouns to our
practice. This topic becomes particularly relevant as students get the chance to develop their intercultural awareness. For some
students, the concept of gender-neutral pronouns, and what they imply, might be difficult to grasp, because they may not be fully
aware of what they are or how to use them. Learning about gender-neutral pronouns can lead students to question some previous
assumptions and creates a safe space in the classroom to talk about such topics. In this paper, I explore why working with these
pronouns can not only improve the students’ grammar skills, but also can help them boost their intercultural competence.
Furthermore, it is relevant for EFL students, but even more for future translators.

AbstractThe papers in this special issue address themes fromThey, Hirself, Em, and YOU 2019(THEY 2019), a conference that brought together researchers working on topics relating to nonbinary gender in language, particularly in pronouns. The papers collected in this special issue provide an overview of the current state of research and practice on nonbinary pronouns as they are currently used in English, as well as connecting the current practices in English to nonbinary pronouns in other languages. There are two sections. In the first section are five traditional academic articles on non-binary language and pronouns; the second section features three short technical articles that raise practical and/or pedagogical issues related to non-binary pronouns from a scholarly perspective. Authors in this volume investigate these topics not only for the advancement of linguistic scholarship, but also to make that scholarship visible to other fields and for broader advocacy.

Porous amorphous nitinol synthesized by argon injection: a molecular dynamics study
Authors: Tsygankov A A , Galimzyanov B N , Mokshin A V 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Porous crystalline nitinol is widely applied in various fields of science and technology due to the unique combination of physical and mechanical properties as well as biocompatibility. Porous amorphous nitinol is characterized by improved mechanical properties compared to its crystalline analogues. Moreover, this material is more promising from the point of view of fundamental study and practical application. The production of porous amorphous nitinol is a difficult task requiring rapid cooling protocol and optimal conditions to form a stable porous structure. In the present work, based on the results of molecular dynamics simulations, we show that porous nitinol with the amorphous matrix can be obtained by injection of argon into a liquid melt followed by rapid cooling of the resulting mixture. We find that the porosity of the system increases exponentially with increasing fraction of injected argon. It has been established that the system should contain about

Dynamical chemistry: non-equilibrium effective actions for reactive fluids
Authors: Landry Michael J 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We present two approaches for describing chemical reactions taking place in fluid phase. The first method mirrors the usual derivation of the hydrodynamic equations of motion by relating conserved—or to account for chemical reactions, non-conserved—currents to local-equilibrium parameters. The second method involves a higher-brow approach in which we attack the same problem from the perspective of non-equilibrium effective field theory (EFT). Non-equilibrium effective actions are defined using the in–in formalism on the Schwinger–Keldysh contour and are therefore capable of describing thermal fluctuations and dissipation as well as quantum effects. The non-equilibrium EFT approach is especially powerful as all terms in the action are fully specified by the symmetries of the system; in particular the second law of thermodynamics does not need to be included by hand, but is instead derived from the action itself. We find that the equations of motion generated by both methods agree, but the EFT approach yields certain advantages. To demonstrate some of these advantages we construct a quadratic action that is valid to very small distance scales—much smaller than the scales at which ordinary hydrodynamic theories break down. Such an action captures the full thermodynamic and quantum behavior of reactions and diffusion at quadratic order. Finally, taking the low-frequency and low-wavenumber limit, we reproduce the linearized version of the well-known reaction–diffusion equations as a final coherence check.
Numerical Forecasting of Wind-Waves for Singapore Region
Authors: Chow Jeng Hei , Sasmal Kaushik , Tkalich Pavel 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
A numerical wave model has been set up and tuned for the Singapore region extending to the parts of the South-China Sea and Malacca Strait. The MIKE 21 spectral wave model was set up using ERA5/ECMWF wind and waves reanalysis data to compute the phase-averaged significant wave heights. The outputs of the calibrated model validates well with the ECMWF data within the domain. The model increases the resolution of available wave data in narrow channelled regions like in the Singapore Straits. When supplied with the wind forecast data the resulting model allows for high resolution forecasting of phase-averaged wave spectra in the Singapore region. The study enables setting up of a wind-wave forecast dissemination framework on a visualization and data-sharing platform or the maritime community.

Abstract
Navigational Safety in maritime operations is a high priority issue. In a recent collaboration between IHPC and SP, an AI-based Behaviour Competency Assessment Tool prototype was developed to aid instructors in assessing soft-skill competencies of watchkeepers conducting navigation, and a proof-of-concept demonstration was performed for Situational Awareness at SP’s Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) training simulator. Use of our tool can help remove human bias by providing detailed behaviour-specific analysis to aid instructors in making their assessments.
Development of the Comprehensive Simulation System for Autonomous Ships
Authors: Minami M , Kobayashi M , Hikida K , Kokubun K 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in autonomous ships, and efforts to realize autonomous ships are underway in Japan. Automated and unmanned ships are expected to improve safety by reducing accidents caused by human with the supports by the automated system. On the other hand, it is necessary to demonstrate that the autonomous ships are safely operated to implement the autonomous ships in society. The National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI) has been studying the evaluation method of safety of the autonomous ships and developing a simulation system as a tool for the evaluation. This paper introduces a comprehensive simulation system including a ship handling simulator, and the evaluation method using the simulation system.
Levels of autonomy for ships
Authors: Rødseth Ørnulf Jan , Wennersberg Lars Andreas Lien , Nordahl Håvard 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper gives a summary of previously published papers on the definition of autonomy for ships, how this relates to different crewing regimes, and the terminology to be used. A conclusion is that autonomy should be retained as a descriptive term, but that we should distinguish between “full autonomy” and “constrained autonomy”, where the latter is the more relevant term for ships today. The proposed classification of autonomy is related to both degree of automation and degree of human control and will be presented as a matrix with generic classes of autonomy. This matrix is also transformed to a set of more practically useful levels of autonomy based on likely organization of crew on land or on the ship. The paper has mainly been written based on our work with maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) but is also applicable to other types of surface vessels, e.g. inland waterway vessels.
The importance of documenting autonomous tests

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper presents how autonomous tests can be documented and why this is important. A test area in Norway, more specifically the Trondheimsfjorden Test Area for Autonomous Ships, is used as a pilot to conduct tests with autonomous vessels and for demonstrating the procedure of documenting results. There are typically three stages in such a documentation process; 1) To register and inform about a planned test on the fjord, 2) To inform about ongoing tests and to document test results by collecting data from the vessel and from the sensor infrastructure, 3) To show historical tests and be able to do analytics or conduct learning from previous tests. The Trondheimsfjorden Test Area has been instrumented with communication and navigation infrastructure, a control centre for control and monitor of the install infrastructure and for remote operation of a ship, and a data centre for planning autonomous tests, storing data, and for sharing of test results. By documenting test results in a standardized format, this can be used to verify new technology and solutions, share knowledge and experiences, and for documentation procedures and guidelines used for the purpose. A demonstration held in The Trondheimsfjorden Test Area showed the importance of streamlining the process of conducting autonomous test and documenting them in a standardized format. This work is based on the results from the research project NAVISP-EL3-005 “Trondheimsfjorden Test Area for Autonomous Ships”. The Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP) is the programme of the European Space Agency to support the competitiveness of the European industry in the wide field of positioning, navigation and timing while supporting member states in enhancing national objectives and capabilities in the sector.

Abstract
The European maritime transport policy recognizes the importance of the waterborne transport systems as key elements for sustainable growth in Europe. A major goal is to transfer more than 50% of road transport to rail or waterways within 2050. To meet this challenge waterway transport needs to get more attractive and overcome its disadvantages. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new knowledge and technology and find a completely new approach to short sea and inland waterways shipping. A key element in this is automation of ships, ports and administrative tasks aligned to requirements of different European regions. One main goal in the AEGIS project is to increase the efficiency of the waterways transport with the use of higher degrees of automation corresponding with new and smaller ship types to reduce costs and secure higher frequency by feeders and provide multimodal green logistics solutions combining short sea shipping with rail and road transport.
Intelligent Operator Support Concepts for Shore Control Centres
Authors: van den Broek H. , van der Waa J. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper introduces three intelligent operator support functions to allow multiple operators to effectively and efficiently supervise multiple autonomous operations. The many-to-many concept assumes a stage in human-automation collaboration design where supervision of maritime autonomous surface ships is not permanently required anymore. Only in extreme and very rare situations the human may need to intervene. One of the challenges is balancing the task assignments and support functions over the operators to ensure the cognitive task load matches the operator’s mental capacity. For this purpose we introduce and described a dynamic task allocation algorithm. Also, human attention is limited and operators therefore must constantly shift attention resulting in moment-to-moment fluctuations in situation awareness. To overcome these reductions in situation awareness, operators must reassess the environment to recover situation awareness. We introduce the concept of continuous risk assessment to initiate the process of situation awareness recovery. Furthermore, the many-to-many ratio between supervising operators and autonomous ships implies that operators will not be able to supervise all ships in parallel. This makes current supervisory control interfaces less suitable. Instead we opt to apply the idea of progressive disclosure in the operator’s interface and interactions. The work described in this paper is directed towards developing an intelligent operator support system with which the operator support functions will be demonstrated as part of a Robotic Container Handling System, an innovation of the European MOSES research project.
