Dear friends,

We have been publishing scientific articles about gymnastics for a dozen of years. 2020 will be marked by the Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan). We expect excellent gymnastics and perhaps some new records even though gymnastics is normally not about records. We believe that many articles published here in the past have contributed to safer and better gymnastics.

The present issue brings seven articles from different lines of gymnastics, including general gymnastics, rhythmics, artistic gymnastics and acrobatics. Their topis range from sociology, psychology, motor abilities and motor control to physical education.

There authors are from Brazil, Greece, Canada, Germany, Slovenia and Spain.

Anton Gajdoš drafted another article related to the history of gymnastics, refreshing our awareness of Nikolay Adrianov, an excellent Russian gymnast who marked the era between 1970 and 1980 and later as a coach in Russia and Japan.

Special thanks to our reviewers whose diligent work has improved the quality of the published papers. The list of reviewers in 2019 is at the end of this issue.

Just to remind you, if you quote the Journal, its abbreviation on the Web of Knowledge is SCI GYMN J.

I wish you pleasant reading and a lot of inspiration for new research projects and articles,
ESTIMATING HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT DEDUCTION IN TRAMPOLINE GYMNASTICS BY MEANS OF CONSTANT AND VARIABLE ERRORS OF LANDING POSITIONS: A NEW GOLD STANDARD?
Authors: Ferger Katja , Helm Fabian , Zentgraf Karen 
Published: November 2022

The final result in competitive trampoline gymnastics is composed of different subscores. These contribute differentially to the final score and result in a gymnast’s ranking. The present study was designed to investigate the impact that alternative score calculations of the horizontal displacement of the landing positions on the trampoline’s cloth would have on the final competition result. Different approaches for determining a precision measure were compared to the current standard of horizontal displacement deduction. These approaches for calculating precision measures were: (a) “total distance,” (b) the “convex-hull approach,” and (c) the “error approach.” Results showed that an alternative approach was more precise and differentiated better between gymnasts. The resulting changed rankings are compared to the official final score of the competition in order to demonstrate the impact of alternative calculations.

Cross-Cultural Conflict and Pursuit of Identity in Ameen Rihani’s The Book of Khalid
Authors: Abdulaziz Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed  
Published: November 2022

Multiculturalism is an outcome of developing global culture emanating from ceaseless flow of people between nations and intercultural interactions. Crossing the borders results in psychological transformation of the immigrants as their ethnic identity shaped by social, religious, historical and political forces over decades is in continual flux. Though different kinds of responses to the situation of cultural multiplicity may be diagnosed, the fact remains that there are no simplistic ways of dealing with or responding to multiculturalism. The immigrants face cultural clash and find difficulties in acculturating. When the immigrants come to install in another country, they are accosted with a new culture, a new statute and a reserved group of people who do not mix so very easily. Everyone does not have the capacity to adjust their feelings and mind. They form a community of diaspora who are always reminded of their roots in an alien land. The impact of diasporic experiences on immigrants’ psyche depends on their level of belonging in an alien land. Ameen Rihani’s odyssey from Lebanon to United States gives him a cutting edge over his contemporaries to be established as most revered author of Arabs diaspora abroad. Rihani, molded and transformed by the cultures of his countries of origin, movement and settlement, has been earnestly engaged in re-conceptualizing the idea of diaspora as a profitable affair as opposed to the popular beliefs that render immigration and displacement as a condition of loss. His novels are bulging with different protagonists of staunch spirit and calibrating credence who win the tussle with cultural conflict and in the process evolve and finally lost. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Rihani’s protagonist Khalid in his novel of the same name evolves with cultural changes, endeavors for pursuit of identity in both origin and adopted worlds and finally takes control of his destiny.
Fervour for Femocracy Reflected in the Works of George Bernard Shaw: A Study of His Plays with Reference to the Synergising Feminist and Democratic Ideologies
Authors: Prof. Prajakta S. Raut,  
Published: November 2022

It is the truth universally acknowledged that conventionality is not morality. All that is accepted may not be absolute every time but could just be a time bound adjustment to make the ‘system’ work in itself at a particular period. But as time changes, the laws, rules, or socio- economic codes which permeated one particular era, may stand obsolete for another phase of time; the blow to it always comes in the form of reaction expecting one to retrospect over the existing dichotomy as well as change in the system to meet the changing needs of time. Some may take a safer stance by operating within the system to make it work in itself as well as to keep themselves floating while some may abrogate the norms to change the foundations and re- construct the whole order to adapt to the new surroundings. George Bernard Shaw (26th July 1856-2nd November, 1950) belongs to the second band of reactionists, who will not mind bearing wrath of socio- Cultural temper to unveil hard core reality. A non- conformist ‘naughty nineties' writer of partly Victorian era and basically early twentieth century created a new vista through his ‘unpleasant’ plays by focusing the basis of society in his attempt “ to take literatures seriously,” the fact pinpointed by his later successor T. S. Eliot; as a committed dramatist, he ‘strip (ped) the ragged follies of the time. Naked, as at their birth and with a whip of steel, print (ed) wounding lashes in the iron ribs.’ If, for him, ‘every great truth commences with blasphemy,’ Shaw's blatant attack did not spare anything and anyone right from slum landlordism, quackery, false notions of Valour, prostitution, idealization of feminity and all. In his propagandist mission to expose all evils, His fervour for ‘femocracy’ is grabbing attention even in the twenty first century and makes him win unequivocally, the label of ‘ Male feminist’ along with being an ‘odd-man- out' to his own milieu. The term, a geological compounding of ‘ female’ and ‘ cracy' and so ‘women’s rule’s has been interchangeably used for women Empowerment and women’s era has been a buzzword in intellectual as well as ‘socialete' circle in today’s time. Shaw, in his fierce endeavour to withdraw women from the stock image of ‘angel in the house’, undoubtedly becomes the recipient of ‘femocrat' tag.
Política de identidade e de reconhecimento em Taylor e Honneth: fontes normativas no campo educacional
Authors: Almeida Jonas Rangel , Pagni Pedro Ângelo 
Published: November 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as pressuposições filosóficas de caráter normativo, indexadas à moderna teoria do reconhecimento presente nos pensamentos de Charles Taylor e Axel Honneth. Esta reflexão orienta-se a partir da acentuada entrada da teoria do reconhecimento, por intermédio dos círculos de leitura da teoria crítica e da hermenêutica, no campo da filosofia da educação no Brasil. Subdividido em duas partes, a primeira ocupa-se das relações entre a identidade e a política do reconhecimento em Taylor, enquanto a segunda procura reconstituir desde a crítica de Honneth ao déficit sociológico da primeira geração da teoria crítica, passando por Foucault chegando à conceitualização da gramática moral do reconhecimento. Com isso, esperou-se produzir uma reflexão sobre os fundamentos da inclusão social, particularmente, no que se refere ao âmbito escolar e as políticas educacionais. Concluiu-se que, embora haja diferenças de abordagens entre esses filósofos, por um lado, existe um horizonte comum de valorização da intersubjetividade à formação do sujeito, garantindo uma normatividade do reconhecimento como expectativa de respeito próprio e, por outro, a ausência de reconhecimento ou seu falseamento produzirão uma base motivacional, justamente, pela privação e degradação que promovem, para engendrar novas lutas por reconhecimento.

Authors: Shetty Rahul , Reilly Ian , Iyengar KP , Gallagher Mark , Botchu Rajesh 
Published: November 2022

Aim: To analyse the anatomical knowledge, understanding of pathology and clinical practice perception of Plantar Fasciitis amongst Clinicians, Podiatrists and Allied Health Professionals.
Materials and Methods: An online cross-sectional survey consisting of nine multiple choice questions was compiled and distributed amongst orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, podiatrists, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals throughout the UK to ascertain the following: a) Anatomical knowledge, b) Practice setting, c) Clinical management strategies
Results: There were 76 responses from Orthopaedic surgeons (28.9%), Radiologists (34.2%), Podiatrists (17.1%), Physiotherapists (14.5%), and other Allied Health Professionals (5.3%) from different settings across the UK. 56.6% chose the central band as the most affected in Plantar Fasciitis, while 43.4% picked the medial band. In the practice setting, 46.1% answered that their site of injection is central, with 47.4% injecting the medial site. Corticosteroids are the most common treatment modality for injection with 64.5% answers, while 26.3% do not use injection as a treatment.
Conclusion:There is a wide variation between health professionals regarding the pathoanatomy of Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar heel pain (PHP) is a very common musculoskeletal problem with a high rate of prevalence in the community and contributes to long-term morbidity and poor quality of life. An approach involving the education and enhanced circulation of the characteristic pathoanatomic knowledge of PHP will lead to a better understanding and management of this common condition.
A Spectral Clustering Approach for the Evolution of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Authors: Allem L. E. , Hoppen C. , Marzo M. M. , Sibemberg L. S. 
Published: November 2022

The aim of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in Rio Grande do Sul by applying graph-theoretical tools, particularly spectral clustering techniques, on weighted graphs defined on the set of 167 municipalities in the state with population 10,000 or more, which are based on data provided by government agencies and other sources. To respond to this outbreak, the state has adopted a system by which pre-determined regions are assigned flags on a weekly basis, and different measures go into effect according to the flag assigned. Our results suggest that considering a flexible approach to the regions themselves might be a useful additional tool to give more leeway to cities with lower incidence rates, while keeping the focus on public safety. Moreover, simulations show that the combination of pendulum migration and isolation data used in this paper leads to a coherent qualitative description of the evolution of the pandemic in Rio Grande do Sul. These simulations also confirm the dampening effect of isolation on the dissemination of the disease.
A Note on the McCormick Second-Order Constraint Qualification
Authors: Sánchez M. D. , Fazzio N. S. , Schuverdt M. L. 
Published: November 2022

The study of optimality conditions and constraint qualification is a key topic in nonlinear optimization. In this work, we present a reformulation of the well-known second-order constraint qualification described by McCormick in [17]. This reformulation is based on the use of feasible arcs, but is independent of Lagrange multipliers. Using such a reformulation, we can show that a local minimizer verifies the strong second-order necessary optimality condition. We can also prove that the reformulation is weaker than the known relaxed constant rank constraint qualification in [19]. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the condition is neither related to the MFCQ+WCR in [8] nor to the CCP2 condition, the companion constraint qualification associated with the second-order sequential optimality condition AKKT2 in [5].
The Analysis of Social Neuroscience Challenges Matrix Measurement for Sign Language Interpreter (JBIM) in Malaysia
Authors: Boey Loh Hock 
Published: November 2022

The critical shortage of sign language interpreter (JBIM) in Malaysia has immensely affected more than 55,000 registered Deaf who live in the silence world. It is the result of the non-recognised status of JBIM as a profession and low public awareness on the accessibility of sign language interpreter (JBIM) services and the non-existent of accredited sign interpreter training program in Malaysia. Hence, the low new entry with high attrition rate in long term has damaged and post social challenges to sign interpreters industry. The objective of the study is to focus on the social neuroscience challenges identification by creating an exactness of measurement matrix to the situation. The methodology is qualitatively analyse the social neuroscience dimension of JBIM’s challenges in their practise by examining each phrases of interpreting in social context from message flow matrix and spatial struggle matrix. The major finding is that there are three phrases of social neuroscience challenges. Pre-entry industry challenges; during-interpreting 3 dimensional challenges with 4 competencies dimension, 5 quadrants social neuroscience challenges and 3 interpreting process challenges; post-graduate inspiration maintenance challenges. The contribution of the study after synthesize the major findings and the research literature is that a model of social neuroscience challenges analysis for sign interpreters (JBIM) has helped to identify the actual challenges with measurement matrix which could minimise the further damage to the industry at the same time to maximise the performance standard for sign interpreters in the industry. The interpreters engagement flow has gave a clear career path landscape of social neuroscience challenges for the pursuing of interpreting career. Many private institution step in to stabilize this critical situation by introducing intensive training program to include any interested party without taking into account the suitability of the candidate as part of the educational components has created the further drop of the quality of the sign interpreter. With the newly introduced challenges analysis model will help the private institute to identify the problems by achieving an effective interventions to the problem. The recommendation after this study is to present a policy review to the government concerning a systematic ways of sign interpreter training program by providing a new spectrum on the identification of the challenges of the sign interpreter that lead to the improvement of the current situation.

Conceptualizing the stylistic body movements in contemporary Ghanaian dances as performance art form
Authors: Azaglo Alex Kwasi , Ebeheakey Alice Korkor , Quarshie Benjamin , Asiedu Prosper Kwaku 
Published: November 2022

This paper attempts to conceptualize the stylistic body movements in contemporary Ghanaian dances through the aesthetic lenses of performance art. The expressiveness of performance art forms is frequently praised for the emotions we have toward them. These feelings are derived from the symbolic connotations and functionalities of the arts in life. Through an exploratory design of qualitative inquiry, the researchers focus on a contextual dialogue on the aesthetic visual presentations of selected contemporary Ghanaian dances as performance art forms. The critical content analysis of music videos was espoused to examine the stylistic body movements and gestures coded in some contemporary Ghanaian dances such as Azonto, Twerking, Kupe, Pilolo and Shoo as part of an empirical artistic study. Instruments for data collection were observation, document analysis and photography for the contextual visual content analyses grounded in semiotic and aesthetic theoretical discourse. This study again relied heavily on secondary data from recorded communication including music videos, books, transcripts, websites, newspaper articles, journal articles and the like to make objective inferences. The findings indicate that dance is the communication that occurs via the conduit of the dancer's body that ruptures individuals' independent existence and generates a sense of finitude. Whereas some of the dances make aggressively erotic visual statements, others are mere expressive gestural and body movements to simply entertain a targeted audience. The result further shows that, the contemporary Ghanaian dance performances transcend beyond mere entertainment but rather are an embodiment of body language emerging from the indigenous dance symbolisms. Teaching learners to perceive visual aesthetic qualities and symbolic interpretations in dance performances will deepen the appreciation of Ghanaian dance performances not just as entertainment but as another medium for expression to transmit their inherent messages. It is suggested that, these dance forms should be formalized as indigenous knowledge in a quest to blend tradition with modernity in our creative endeavours. This knowledge should be propagated through creative arts education in Ghanaian schools. Other performance art components displayed in contemporary Ghanaian dances including body painting, facial expressions, costumology and fashion accessories present another lacuna for further research by future researchers.

Education demand elasticity in Ghana: Evidence from household level data
Authors: Kutortse Divine Kwaku 
Published: November 2022

Education remains a key factor in human capital accumulation development. Owing to its impact on economic growth and individual welfare, government and household education finance have gained prominence in developing countries. This study seeks to explain the sensitivity of household education demand based on both school type and level owing to changes in household income and price of education, incorporating selected demographic factors in the analysis. To perform this demand analysis, the author adopted the extended version of the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUIAIDS) and the 2016/17 Ghana Living Standard Survey 7. The result shows that education at each level is a normal good; the demand of which increases owing to a one percent increase in household education budget (income). Also, households are income elastic to demand general pre-tertiary education but price inelastic at each level of education. The results further show that public education has higher income elasticities than private education. The author also find that even though both school types are price inelastic, the quantity demanded of private education is more sensitive to change in education cost that public- education at all levels.
