title: AN ICT-BASED EXTENSION SERVICES’ ADOPTION MODEL FOR PUBLIC EXTENSION OFFICERS: A CASE IN MALI

description: Abstract The realization of higher yield and therefore agricultural productivity cannot be achieved without information. That information is disseminated in developing countries, particularly Mali by government-led extension services. However, there are few (public) extension officers to disseminate that information. That makes the use of other means such as ICT one of the best ways to disseminate the extension services. This paper, firstly, looked at the drivers and challenges of the adoption of ICT based extension services by public extension officers in Mali from the literature to propose a conceptual framework. Secondly, the study assessed the survey questionnaire and thirdly, evaluated the proposed model. A sequential exploratory research design was followed. It consisted of conducting in-depth-interviews with 12 key stakeholders (agricultural scientist, policymakers, IT professional and head of extension services) in Bamako and Koulikoro. These data were analysed using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (RQDA) to contextualize the proposed conceptual framework. Thereafter, a survey questionnaire was designed and administered to 21 public extension officers in Bamako, Kati and Koulikoro. Quantitative data was analysed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling with the aid of the software Smartpls 3.2.8. This study validated a questionnaire of 19 items out of 26 for the next phase of the study with more respondents. Additionally, the results revealed that Relative Advantage, High Cost, Compatibility, Complexity, ICT-Skills and Policy explained 48.4% of the variance of the adoption of ICT based extension services by public extension officers.

title: Effects of creatine supplementation associated or not with strength training upon lipid peroxidation in elderly women

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of creatine supplementation associated or not with strength training upon lipid peroxidation in older women. This was a clinical, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Older women were randomly allocated into four groups: 1) placebo supplementation (PL, n = 10), 2) creatine supplementation (CR; n = 10), 3) placebo supplementation associated with strength training (PL + RT, n = 6) and 4) creatine supplementation associated with strength training (CR + RT, n = 8). Before (PRE) and after 24 weeks (POST), blood samples were collected to measure lipid hydroperoxides concentration by spectrophotometry. No statistical difference was observed on the lipid hydroperoxides concentration between groups (PL: PRE = 48.7 ± 36.9; POST = 29.3 ± 18.8; Δ = -13.0 ± 26.8; CR : PRE = 51.0 ± 46.0; POST = 54.2 ± 51.6; Δ = -8.6 ± 30.2; + PL TR: PRE = 33.0 ± 11.2; POST = 47.3 ± 31.6, Δ = 14.3 ± 39.2; CR + TR: PRE = 18.5 ± 10.1; POST = 28.1 ± 17.9, Δ = 9.7 ± 16.4 pmol.mg-1 of total protein, p = 0.17). Creatine supplementation associated or not with strength training did not affect the lipid peroxidation, an important plasmatic marker of oxidative stress, in elderly women.

title: Effect of four successive days of games in muscle power, perceived stress and recovery in futsal players

description: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of futsal games conducted on consecutive days on vertical jump performance test and stress and recovery of 11 professional players (male, 24.3 ± 5.0 years, 1.73 ± 0.07 cm, 75.7 ± 9.0 kg, 11.2 ± 4.1% fat). The team was monitored during the final phase of Paraná Open Games, with games in four consecutive days. The RESTQ-Sport questionnaire was applied before and after the competition, and the squat jump (SJ) and countermovement vertical jump (CMJ) tests were performed every morning when the games were held. The SJ presented a likely decrease when comparing before the second game to before the first game (0/34/66%) and before the fourth game to before the first game (2/20/78%), and a very likely decrease before the third game when compared to before the first game (0/3/97%). The CMJ showed a likely decrease before the second (0/19/81%), third (20/03/77%) and fourth game (01/10/89%) compared to before the first game. The physical recovery scale of the RESTQ-Sport was lower in the post-competition compared to pre-competition (p &lt; 0.05) and the fatigue scale was greater in the post-competition compared to pre-competition (p &lt; 0.05). The difference between the Σ recovery scales and the Σ stress scales in post-competition (7.5 ± 9.8) was lower when compared to the pre-competition (9.8 ± 9.1, p = 0.03). In summary, the decrease in vertical jump performance and deleterious changes in the RESTQ-Sport scales suggest a fatigue accumulation over consecutive days of futsal games.

title: Health related fitness of adolescents participating in a sports program

description: The present study aims to analyze AFRS of adolescent participating in the Olympic Villages (VO) in Fortaleza, Ceará according to sex, age and permanence in the program. This is an analytical cross-sectional study with random representative sample of 344 adolescents of both sexes, aged between 11 and 16 years. Body weight and height were measured to calculate BMI. To evaluate AFRS, flexibility, muscular strength/endurance (FRM) and cardiorespiratory fitness (ApC) were measured using the Esporte Brasil (PROESP-BR) protocol. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Student's t test, one-way ANOVA and binary logistic regression were used. Of the participants, 15.1% did not meet the minimum criteria for BMI; 28.2% for flexibility, 32.6% for FRM and 45.6% for ApC, with significant influence of sex and age. Boys were more difficult to meet the criteria for flexibility (χ2 = 5.96, p &lt; 0.01) and FRM (χ2 = 12.33, p &lt; 0.001), and the older group showed greater difficulty in meeting the criteria for FRM (χ2 = 5.74, p &lt; 0.05). Teens who participate longest at the VO tend to be, more likely to achieve desired levels for flexibility (not significantly) (OR = 1.23, 95%CI: 0.65-2.33) and ApC (RC = 1.35, 95%: 0.77-2.36) and fewer chances for BMI (OR = 0.43, 95%CI: 0.17-1.08) than those involved more recently. Adolescent participants in VO have a high prevalence of physical low fitness, especially ApC, with significant influence of sex and age, but unrelated to the permanence in the program. These results indicate the need for reflection, especially by physical education professionals, about the strategies adopted in the sports projects to effectively promote improvements in AFRS of the population.

title: Validation of a test battery to assess functional autonomy of adults with spinal cord injury

description: The present study aimed to create and validate a battery of motor tests related to activities of daily life (ADL), in order to evaluate the functional independence of individuals with spinal cord injury. For this, were selected 22 subjects by convenience, aged between 20 and 53 years, which were submitted to a battery of motors tests. This battery was underwent to process of validation of content, objectivity and reproducibility. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Coefficient of Intraclasses Correlation and t-Student test. The a = 5% was adopted. The main results shown that the tests of battery present clear description, they are related to ADL and they have applicability, making valid the battery content. Moreover, every tests have demonstrated high degree of objectivity (p = 1.00 e F = 0.00) and reproducibility (CCI &gt; 0.85). The formulation of this battery of specific tests for people with spinal cord injury can be a useful tool to evaluate some relevant parameters of their daily with effectiveness and quality, analyzing the subjects' independence.

title: SH0912988.09FU

description: UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
