title: INFLUENCE OF ABDOMINAL CORE TRAINING ON STABILITY CONTROL IN TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction In recent years, there have been a number of reforms in table tennis, trends in technology development, and demands on the part of athletes to improve their competitive ability and prevent injuries. Objective Evaluate the effect of abdominal core strength training on ball control stability in table tennis players. Methods By random sampling and grouping method, the national top-level table tennis players were divided into an experimental group and a control group (17 boys in each group and seven girls in each group); the experiment lasted for one week, during which the athletes in the experimental group performed abdominal core strength training, while the athletes in the control group performed regular training. Results There was no significant difference in the longitudinal comparison of the control group before and after the experiment (P&gt;0.05), and there was a very significant difference in the horizontal comparison between the two groups after the experiment (P&lt;0.01). Conclusion Abdominal core strength training has a positive effect on improving the technical stability of table tennis players. Core strength can improve the athlete’s attack speed and recovery. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: EFFECTS OF ATHLETIC WALKING ON THE PHYSICAL ENDURANCE OF ATHLETES

description: ABSTRACT Introduction Athletic walking is a physical endurance test. This sport has a long competition time and a high load intensity. The long-term continuous movement of muscles is the most prominent characteristic of this sport. Strength and endurance are essential physical factors that determine the performance of the runners who do it. Physical endurance is an essential indicator to evaluate the level of physical training in athletic walking. Objective This study aims to analyze the effect of endurance training on the physical fitness and competition performance of athletic walkers. Methods This work selects four athletes as the research object. The athletes undergo one month of resistance training. The athletes recorded their physiological and biochemical indicators before and after resistance training. Then, the mathematical statistics method was used to analyze their physiological and biochemical indicators. Results Hemoglobin levels in the last three weeks of resistance training were significantly higher than in the first week (P&lt;0.01). During endurance training, the athletes’ morning blood urea peak appeared in the first test after going to high altitude (P&lt;0.05). Conclusion Endurance training can improve the fitness of athletic walkers. Resistance training effectively stimulates the blood system of athletes for at least two weeks. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

title: Telomere organization and the interstitial telomeric sites involvement in insects and vertebrates chromosome evolution

description: Abstract Telomere has a central role in chromosomal stability events. Chromosome ends organized in telomere-loop prevent activation of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms, thus keeping the chromosome structure organized. On the other hand, free chromosome ends, dysfunctional telomeres, and interstitial telomeric sequences (ITS) can trigger chromosome rearrangements. Here, the telomere organization, function, and maintenance mechanisms, in addition to ITS types and their involvement in chromosome changes, were revisited. Despite a general (TTAGGG)n sequence being present in vertebrate telomeres, insects show more diversification of their telomere motif. The relation between ITS and chromosome rearrangements was observed in insects and vertebrates, demonstrating different types of genome organization and distribution. Some ITS cannot be considered relicts of chromosome rearrangements because probable they were inserted during a double-strand break repair mechanism. On the other hand, the involvement of telomere sequences participating or triggering chromosome rearrangements or organizing satellite DNA components in several species groups is evident. The genomic assembling advances and applying other methodologies over ITS, and their flanking regions, can help to understand the telomere participation in the chromosomal evolution in species groups with highly diversified karyotypes.

title: Folk science, science communication and Science Education: elements of circulation and textualization of scientific knowledge

description: Abstract: In this article we present a theoretical model that takes Science Dissemination as part of a broad process of production, circulation and textualization of scientific knowledge. Thus, we articulate the work of Ludwik Fleck, an author in the field of epistemology, and that of Authier-Revuz, an author in the field of language. With Fleck, we seek to understand the textual characteristics and epistemological roles of different texts in the production of scientific facts, deepening his notion of popular science. With Authier-Revuz, we highlight aspects from a discursive point of view for Science Dissemination. Our perspective criticizes unidirectional views on Science Dissemination and highlights the constitutive role of this type of textualization in the production and maintenance of scientific knowledge, in bidirectional movements between science and the public. This theoretical articulation proved to be useful to reflect aspects of Science Dissemination, the place it occupies both socially and epistemologically in the production of science, and to derive implications for Science Education.

title: Evaluation of vitamin D and inflammatory markers in elderly

description: Abstract Vitamin D is an immune modulator, in addition to being interrelated with calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Recent studies have associated vitamin D with inflammatory processes. C-reactive protein (CRP), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been used to determine inflammation. There is no consensus on the use of these markers to determine an association between inflammation and vitamin D levels. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between inflammatory markers and vitamin D in the elderly. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was performed based on the analysis of vitamin D, CRP (quantitative determination of C-Reactive Protein by the ultra-sensitive method) and blood count of institutionalized elderly. In this study, 64% showed vitamin D deficiency, with mean value of 22 ng/mL. In the vitamin D deficient group, the mean values found were: CRP 4.5 mg/L; NLR 2.35 and PLR 119. In the group without vitamin D deficiency the mean values were: CRP 4 mg/L; NLR 1.87 and PLR 111 without statistical difference between the values of the analyzed parameters. The results point to a predominant profile of vitamin D deficiency in the evaluated individuals. No association was found between vitamin D values and the inflammatory markers analyzed.

title: Use of Photography in Organizational Research: Legitimacy and Potential

description: ABSTRACT Objective: to discuss the use of the photographic method to produce evidence in organizational research and contribute to the debate so that the method achieves greater legitimacy from the nuances that delimit the organizational field. Proposal: present characteristics, approaches of the photographic method, limitations, and possibilities of its application as a means of producing evidence in organizational research with rigor, relevance, accuracy, and impact, discussing practical aspects of photographic analysis and the dilemmas that accompany the researcher in its use. Examples of reflections helpful to researchers when using photographic analysis are also presented. Conclusions: given the restricted use of photography in organizational research, the reduced scope of articles published with photographic analysis, and the potential that the method has to produce evidence, the essay encourages actors in the field to expand the use of photography. Moreover, the article discusses how photography can achieve more significant space among researchers, editors, reviewers, and readers. Given the broad theoretical and methodological scope in which photography can be applied and the contemporary technological facilities, overcoming this reduced use is more related to the need for greater legitimacy of photography by peers than the specifics of the method.

title: Daylighting potential use by office building users‘ profiles in a tropical climate

description: Abstract This article focuses on the influence of the user's profile on the daylighting potential of an office building in a tropical climate, often characterised by blinds closed by the occupants due to discomfort stimuli. Based on field assessments, three simplified profiles for closing and opening curtains were modelled: active, passive, and intermediate. The climate of Natal/RN and a reference model with an East-facing opening were selected to represent the high availability of daylighting in the early hours of the day. Four window-to-wall rates (WWR) and three types of fenestration were modelled: exposed, with 100% visible sky factor (VSF), fixed and mobile shading devices, with three VSFs each. The results of the DIVA 4.0 hourly simulations were calculated according to closed curtains during light discomfort, and reopened curtains according to user profile. The results confirmed: low daylighting potential in most cases due to the user’s response; the influence of user profile regarding the reopening of the curtain, which can triple the daylighting potential; and the best performance achieved with mobile devices due to a more refined control of the entrance of daylight.

title: CRYOPRESERVATION OF SEEDS OF THE BRAZILIAN NATIVE SPECIES AROEIRA-DO-SERTÃO (Astronium urundeuva M. Allemão Engl.)1

description: ABSTRACT Aroeira-do-sertão is a Brazilian native species that has been widely explored. Thus, the population of this species has been reduced and techniques for its preservation are essential, such as the conservation of seeds in liquid nitrogen (LN). The objective of this work was to evaluate different cryoprotectant solutions for cryopreservation of aroeira-do-sertão seeds in LN (-196 °C). The treatments used were: control (7.5±1.5 °C); LN without cryoprotectant; sucrose 0.4 mol L-1; sucrose 0.8 mol L-1; glycerol 1 mol L-1; glycerol 2 mol L-1; PVS1 (plant vitrification solution); PVS2; PVS2 + 1% phloroglucinol; and PVS3. The seeds remained frozen for 120 days. The seeds were evaluated for germination and water content before cryopreservation. Several germination parameters were evaluated on the seventh day and plant growth variables were evaluated after 150 days. The seeds presented 9.2% water content and 74% germination before cryopreservation. The germination in the control treatment was 55%, whereas it varied from 61% to 69% under cryopreservation, denoting the positive effect of cryopreservation, even without cryoprotectants (69%). The seeds presented a triphasic water absorption model; the LN accelerated the germination, which started within 56 hours, whereas the germination in the control treatment started after 66 hours. The plant parts presented satisfactory development after 150 days, as shown by the Dickson quality index. The use of cryoprotectants did not affect seed germination and initial growth of seedlings. Aroeira-do-sertão seeds with 9.2% water content can be cryopreserved in LN without cryoprotectants.
