Energy Cost Of A Basic KettlebellTM Training Protocol

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

KettlebellTM training is a relatively ancient form of strength training that has been highly regarded among the Russian military and Eastern European power lifters for many years. Most recently, it has gained popularity among athletic strength coaches and recreationally active individuals as a novel way to enhance functional strength and positively impact cardiovascular endurance. However, to our knowledge this form of training with handheld weights has not been systematically investigated. PURPOSE The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the energy cost and intensity of a basic KettlebellTM training protocol. METHODS Ten subjects, mean age 30.2 ± 10.6 years, participated in a maximal treadmill test to assess VO2max. Participants subsequently performed 5 sets of 10 repetitions of two-armed swings, snatches, and clean and presses using a 4, 8, 12 or 16 kg KettlebellTM. Metabolic data were collected by a metabolic measurement system. The data were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics. RESULTS Training intensity in metabolic equivalents (METS) was 4.9 ± .88. The mean caloric expenditure and oxygen uptake values were 4.97 ± 2.02 kcal/min and 14.25 ± 3.08 ml/kg/min. Total energy expenditure during the session was 297.91 ± 121.13 kcal. Associated heart rate response during the training session was 122.08 ± 21.13 bpm that corresponded to 64.29 ± 11.74% of maximal heart rate. The training intensity relative to VO2max was 32.96 ± .08%. CONCLUSIONS Although intensity as assessed by heart rate appeared to be high enough to improve cardiovascular fitness pursuant to the ACSM recommendation, the training stimulus of 32% of VO2max was less than the ACSM recommendation of ± 55%. However, a basic KettlebellTM training protocol may be an alternative activity for achieving the Surgeon General's recommended amount (150–200 kcal/day) and intensity (3–6 METS) of physical activity for improving health.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract: The complete flow fields past a straight and a swept wing-body combination and their equivalent bodies of revolution at Mach numbers around 1.0 have been observed by means of motion-picture schlieren photography. The results of these observations indicate that the shock growth and positions on the wing-body combinations are closely reproduced in the flow past their respective equivalent bodies.
ALCOHOL IN PATIENTS REPORTING TO HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT OF TRAFFIC-RELATED INJURIES: THE NEW BRUNSWICK STUDY

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This project generated base-rate epidemiologic data with respect to the prevalence of alcohol among persons injured in road crashes in Canada. Data were collected from 1,148 blood and breath specimens derived from persons reporting to emergency wards for the treatment of traffic-related injuries over a one year time period at four major hospitals in the Province of New Brunswick. Results indicated overall rate of drinking, blood alcohol concentration (BAC) by victim type, and BAC by injury severity. Based on the results as considered within the larger context of existing research and countermeasure efforts in Canada, several recommendations were advanced. These referred to mandatory blood alcohol testing, legal penalties for impaired driving, the overall approach to impaired driving in Canada, the need for greater coordination of the road safety effort, and further research.
<title>Calculation of Fourier holographic storage density</title>

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes an optical system model of Fourier holographic recording. Its numerical calculation is based on the Fraunhofer diffraction theory. According to Fourier optics principle, the spatial fundamental frequency will have a minimum value. It will limit the increase of the storage density. This paper shows the results of the simulative storage and the digital storage. When the digital storage used on the film optical disk system (for example, photopolymer medium), the storage density of Fourier hologram can be evaluated by bit error rate (BER) and signal noise rate (SNR).
The Equifinal Achievement of the Total Antioxidant Activity of Flavonoids by Plants in Various Habitats

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The most important nonspecific stress-protecting function of flavonoids is antioxidant, which is associated with blocking the spread of free radicals in cells. Moreover, the effectiveness of individual classes of flavonoids as antioxidants is different; in particular, substances can differ by three or more times. The accumulation of flavonoids by individual plants is exceptionally high in plasticity. To estimate the total potential antioxidant activity, we proposed an indicator – the antioxidant status of flavonoids, taking into account the qualitative and quantitative composition of the identified flavonoids. It has been shown that relatively close values of this indicator can be formed due to different quantitative ratios of flavonoids – either a relatively large number of low-efficiency flavonoids or a much smaller number of high-efficiency ones can accumulate in plants. It has been established that this is characteristic of various species of plants that live in a variety of conditions – from horse marshes to the steppe zone and salt marshes.

The Effect of Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy on the Neonatal Weight of the Newborn

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: According to the World Health Organization, smoking is the most significant risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes in industrialized countries. A potential mediator of the impact of smoking on fetal growth is the placenta, which provides the transport of oxygen and nutrients between the mother and the fetus. Nicotine causes a reduction in uteroplacental circulation, leading to negative fetal outcomes such as small size for gestational age, low birth weight, poor growth, and compromised neurological development of the fetus. Many studies have documented a strong association between active smoking during pregnancy and fetal growth restriction. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of smoking during pregnancy on newborn birth weight. Methods: In a retrospective study, we analyzed 659 pregnancies with recorded data on smoking during pregnancy and newborn birth weights from the pregnancy database at the Obstetrics Department of the Health Center in Velika Kladuša, Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the period from 2009 to 2010. Results and Discussion: Data analysis revealed that 19.8% of women smoked during pregnancy. The mean birth weight of newborns born to non-smoking mothers was 3446 g, while the mean birth weight of newborns born to smoking mothers was 3287 g. Newborns of smoking mothers had a birth weight that was 159 g lower than those of non-smoking mothers. Conclusion: Smoking during pregnancy significantly affects birth weight and, consequently, pregnancy outcomes.
International Methodological Basics of Electoral Law (From Antiquity to Modern Times: Philosophy-Legal Dimension)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The contemporary democratic states consider the concept of political rights, especially the right to vote as a fundamental pillar above all other rights. The political rights are dominant only due to their implementation: people have an opportunity to exercise their power on the one hand, and transfer their power without any political upheavals on the other. In this regard, it is worth highlighting that the political rights are one of the corner-stone rights for modern democratic rule of law. According to this thesis, we can persist that the problems of the realization of political rights are decisive and highly important even for the declared and transitional democratic states. In this respect, the Republic of Armenia is no exception as the problems of the implementation of political rights are definitely the electoral rights. These rights are among the most acute social problems that young Armenian democracy has faced after the independence. The issues in implementation of the political rights are steadily coupled with the problems of imposing punishments for crimes directed against political rights. As the experience of the Republic of Armenia has shown, the number of crimes directed against political rights has increased over the years. The tendency of the growth of the above-mentioned crimes has objective and subjective reasons. Among the objective reasons, we can note the transitional character of Armenian democracy. As for justice, it should be noted that such problems are inherent in almost all transitional states and especially, for modern countries. It is easier to understand, when we observe the experience of communities, which try to pass from the totalitarian rails of state governance to democratic ones. From the other side, the social and economic reasons of the state, poverty of the population can be considered as an objective reason. In terms of subjective reasons, firstly, the disproportionate punishment for crimes directed against political rights should be pointed out, which are the central obstacles for the implementation of political rights.

Thus, they are expected to be able to develop their potential in order to build soul independence in entrepreneurship, this training was given to 40 fatayat women in Way Bungur Subdistrict, during the training we found several mothers who were able to make flannel cloth , but there are still many other mothers who have not been able to make flannel cloth. They collaborated to make handicrafts from flannel cloth to form a product of a bouquet of flowers, a tissue box, and a jar.
Classical Literature on Screen

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Martin M. Winkler argues for a new approach to various creative affinities between ancient verbal and modern visual narratives. He examines screen adaptations of classical epic, tragedy, comedy, myth, and history, exploring, for example, how ancient rhetorical principles regarding the emotions apply to moving images and how Aristotle&apos;s perspective on thrilling plot-turns can recur on screen. He also interprets several popular films, such as 300 and Nero, and analyzes works by international directors, among them Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex, Medea), Jean Cocteau (The Testament of Orpheus), Mai Zetterling (The Girls), Lars von Trier (Medea), Arturo Ripstein (Such Is Life), John Ford (westerns), Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho), and Spike Lee (Chi-Raq). The book demonstrates the undiminished vitality of classical myth and literature in our visual media, as with screen portrayals of Helen of Troy. It is important for all classicists and scholars and students of film, literature, and history.
The Selective Staining of Red Blood Cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

AbstractA method for the selective staining of red blood cells is described. Material is fixed in 10% neutral formalin in. 85% NaCl and imbedded in paraffin or celloidin. Sections 6–10 μ are stained 1–5 minutes in chromotrope 2R. Basophilic and the less strongly acidophilic elements are decolorized with 5% phosphotungstic acid in 95% ethyl alcohol. Red blood cells and other strongly acidophilic elements that may be present in the preparation retain the chromotrope 2R. A counterstain of methyl blue may be used for staining the decolorized basophilic elements. As a result, erythrocytes are stained red by the chromotrope 2R, and basophilic elements blue, by the methyl blue. Less strongly acidophilic elements, having little affinity for either primary or secondary dye, are colorless or gray.
Finite element computation of antenna impedance including feed modeling

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we discuss the frequency-domain FEM computation of antenna input impedance using curved, mixed-shaped "edge" elements. The antenna feed is treated as a waveguide and is included as part of the model. The feeding waveguide is truncated with a first-order absorbing boundary condition and the solution domain with a second-order condition. A monopole antenna on top of a conducting box is analyzed and good impedance results are obtained.
Entrepreneurial orientation and SMEs’ performance in international markets: do government support initiatives really matter?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This study examines the influence of government support initiatives on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and the international performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies. This study aims to clarify how different types of government support can enhance EO’s impact on SMEs’ success in international markets. Design/methodology/approach Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from a sample of SMEs in the Caucasus region. Regression analyses and moderation testing were conducted to evaluate the role of government support initiatives − both informational and experiential − in moderating the EO−performance relationship. Findings The findings indicate that experiential support significantly strengthens the EO−performance link, whereas informational support exerts influence primarily as a moderating factor. This highlights the unique value of experiential government interventions for SMEs entering global markets, while informational support enhances EO’s effectiveness when firms actively adopt an entrepreneurial posture. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by integrating government support into the EO – performance framework for SMEs in emerging economies. It demonstrates that government support, particularly experiential, serves as an external resource enhancing SMEs’ competitiveness abroad.

Controlled Production of Monodispersed Silica Microspheres Using a Double Step-Emulsification Device

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We explore droplet based microfluidics to perform chemical reactions within microfluidic channels. By dispensing the different chemicals in droplets and subsequently merging the droplets containing different chemicals, the reactive mixture never gets in contact with the walls of the surrounding microfluidic channel. Using this approach we can realize chemical reactions for gels or precipitates, which are neither possible in single phase microfluidics, nor in droplet based microfluidics if the chemicals are mixed prior to dispersing the droplets. We explore this explicitly for the production of porous silica particles from sol-gel chemistry. All processing steps ranging from droplet production, synchronization of the droplets containing the different chemicals, combining the droplets, mixing and post processing are discussed and optimized for the particular demands.
Monitoring leaf loss and possum impact on New Zealand beech mistletoes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Numerous anecdotal reports have suggested that possums are the primary cause of mistletoe decline throughout New Zealand, but little quantitative data has been collected to support this claim. The primary goal of this study was to quantitatively assess the annual amount of lea floss due to possum herbivory, insect herbivory, and leaf abscission on two populations of each of three endemic mistletoe species (Alepis flavida, Peraxilla colensoi, and P. tetrapetala) in four South Island beech forests (Craigieburn, Lake Ohau, Eglinton Valley, and Waipori Gorge). In all six populations, from February 1997 to February 1998, abscission accounted for by far the most leaf loss (range 10-84%, mean 33%), while insects and possums contributed to the mean loss of less than 3% of total leaf area across all six populations. Although possums and insects overall removed similar amounts of plant biomass, possum browse was significantly more heterogeneous than insect browse both on branches within a plant (possum c.v.=2.63, insect c.v.=1.94) and between plants in a population (possum c.v.=2.74, insect c.v.=1.17). Moreover, insects damaged all study plants but removed less than 9% of leaf area per plant, while possums only browsed 32% of the study plants but severely defoliated some plants. Mean leaf loss was significantly greater on plants browsed by possums (62%) than on unbrowsed plants (36%). Thus, while insect damage probably constitutes a predictable stress for most plants, possum browse is unpredictable and may cause a small increase in mortality of affected mistletoes, which could cause a slow decline at the population level for plants with long life-spans and slow reproductive rates. The second goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three commonly used methods of monitoring mistletoes: leaf mapping, visual estimates of plant health (i.e. percent browse scores, foliage density scores, and volume measurements), and photographs. Leaf maps provided the most detailed description of leaf loss but are too laborious to be used on a national scale. Visual estimates were subjective, did not correlate to quantitative leaf map data, and failed to detect the loss of branches. Foliage loss estimated from an examination of repeated photographs corresponded extremely well to leaf loss estimates from leaf maps. A monitoring protocol is suggested that includes photographing mistletoes every winter and visually estimating possum browse each winter and summer.
Effects of Intra-articular Injection of Agmatine and Clonidine into the Knee Joint Cavity on the Induction and Maintenance of Arthritic Pain in Rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: Previous studies suggest that systemic administration of agmatine, endogenous ligand for imidazoline receptors has anti-hypernociceptive effects in experimental animal. However the peripheral effects of agmatine on inflammatory pain have not yet been elucidated. Here we examined the effects of intra-articular injection of agmatine in the induction and maintenance phase of arthritic pain. In addition, we sought to determine the potential contribution of imidazoline and α2-adrenergic receptors to the antinociceptive effects using clonidine which is mixed α2-adrenoceptor and imidazoline receptor agonist. Methods: To induce arthritis in rats, 2% lambda-carrageenan (50μl, in saline) was injected into the joint of the right hind limb under enflurane anesthesia. Either agmatine (10, 50, 100μg/40μl) or clonidine (10, 50, 100μg/40μl) was injected into the knee joint cavity immediately before or 4 hr after carrageenan injection. Weight load tests were performed to measure pain-re- lated behavior in freely walking rats. Results: The intraarticular injection of agmatine into the knee joint had no effects in the both phase of induction and maintenance of arthritic pain at any dose tested. However, injection of clonidine reversed arthritic pain, when injected 4 h after carrageenan injection. Conclusions: In rats, agmatine has no peripheral effect on inflammatory pain and imidazoline receptors in the periphery may not contribute to the anti-inflammatory pain.
