The Second Landing From A Drop Vertical Jump: A Biomechanical Analysis And Clinical Application To Enhance Evaluation Of ACL Injury Risk In Female Athletes

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The primary interest of the presented dissertation was to evaluate whether the second landing from a Drop Vertical Jump (DVJ) differs from the first with regards to neuromuscular control and landing mechanics in order to determine whether this second landing improves the predictive ability of clinical evaluations to properly identify athletes at risk for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. Three manuscripts were completed in order to gain a more complete understanding of the relationship between the first and second landings from a drop vertical jump and their implications for injury risk evaluation. An analysis of the differences between the first and second landings according to the methodology established by the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was performed to gain insight into the biomechanical differences between the two tasks and to gain a better understanding of their utility. An evaluation of LESS scores associated with the first landing and the second landing was performed to determine the extent to which the individual scoring items between landings were related to each other. Finally, by investigating the ability of DVJ biomechanical variables to predict known injury risk variables during a side-cutting task, it was possible to gather insight into the relationship between the two tasks. These manuscripts represent the progression of a research agenda investigating the utility of the second landing from a drop vertical jump for the development of a more comprehensive testing scenario that better predicts an athlete’s risk for injury while being simple enough to perform on-field by Athletic Trainers and coaches.
Motion Processing in the Larval Zebrafish Tectum

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Larval zebrafish are highly visual animals that display a diverse repertoire of visually guided behaviors. Five days after their birth, they start tracking and hunting moving prey, a behavior that likely requires underlying neural circuits to analyze motion. The optic tectum, the largest structure in the zebrafish brain, is known to be involved in prey capture behavior. The specific role of this structure in motion processing is still an open question.\n\tThe larval tectum receives processed inputs from direction selective retinal ganglion cells (DSRGCs). How do these inputs influence the responses of tectal neurons? Do local tectal circuits further affect tectal responses to motion? To study this, we performed in vivo two-photon calcium imaging on populations of tectal neurons and in vivo whole cell recordings while presenting larvae with moving stimuli. We show that a substantial fraction of tectal neurons are sensitive to the direction and speed of moving stimuli. Direction selectivity (DS) in these neurons is weakly correlated with RGC inputs and strongly correlated with local inhibition. The inhibition comes from the null direction of the recorded neurons and appears to be mediated by direction selective inhibitory neurons. Our data demonstrates the presence of a tectal circuit for computing the direction of motion, whose motif resembles the DS circuit in the vertebrate retina. \n\tWhat roles do excitatory and inhibitory tectal neurons have in motion processing? To explore this, we recorded motion responses from labeled glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in conjunction with a newly generated pan-neuronal transgenic line expressing the genetically encoded calcium indicator GCaMP6s. We show that excitatory and inhibitory tectal neurons display a matching degree of selectivity to motion. DS inhibitory neurons seem to cluster into two populations preferring head-directed or tail-directed motion. In contrast, DS excitatory neurons form three overlapping clusters. The preferred directions of these clusters appear to be phase shifted with respect to those of DSRGC inputs. \nOur results show that rather than being a simple relay center for processed retinal inputs, the tectum builds direction selective responses by employing a network of highly selective interneurons. This processing appears to transform the representation of motion direction by RGCs into distinct representations by subpopulations of tectal neurons.
Trade Linkages and Output-Multiplier Effects: A Structural VAR Approach with a Focus on Asia

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper develops a structural VAR model to measure how a shock to one country can affect the GDP of other countries.It uses trade linkages to estimate the multiplier effects of a shock as it is transmitted through other countries' output fluctuations.The paper introduces a new specification strategy that significantly reduces the number of unknowns and allows cross-country relationships to vary over time.Then it uses this model to examine the impact of shocks to 11 Asian countries, the U.S. and the rest of the OECD.The model produces reasonably good short-term forecasts.Impulse-response matrices suggest that these multiplier effects are large and significant and can transmit shocks in very different patterns than predicted from a bilateral-trade matrix.For example, due to these output-multiplier effects, a shock to one country can have a large impact on countries that are relatively minor bilateral trading partners.
An online windowed fourier transformer for fringe pattern analysis = a windowed fourier transform applet

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

To build a Java applet equivalent of an already available Matlab program which processed and analysed fringe pattern block by block using Windowed Fourier Transform technique that involved two algorithms, Windowed Fourier Filtering and Windowed Fourier Ridges. The applet will be uploaded into a web server to give an opportunity to other researchers and scientists to download and run it. It does not require full Matlab software but only its MCR, available from the web server, has to be installed. Two JAR files were imported into the applet's main class. One was the Java equivalent of the Matlab program, the other was the Javabuilder. The Matlab program returned a structure array to Java and by using some methods from Javabuilder, was able to get the desired output to be displayed. Fast-Fourier Transform and its inverse were used to replace two-dimensional convolution on the input. Their input arguments still stay the same. The output may differ upon what the user requirements are as it depends on the type of input used and values inserted into the applet. The applet can be further extended to include new implementations or techniques to enhance the analysis of the output.
Prevalence and Severity of Periodontitis in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: A Case–Control Study

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

(1) Background: Current evidence suggests a possible association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and an increased risk of periodontitis. However, there is limited evidence regarding the severity of periodontitis in patients with UC. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of periodontitis in patients with UC compared with healthy controls. (2) Methods: In this case–control study, 20 patients with UC and 40 age- and sex-matched controls from Ulaanbaatar Songdo Hospital underwent a full-mouth periodontal examination. Periodontitis was classified according to the 2017 classification system. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between UC and stage III/IV periodontitis. (3) Results: Patients with UC exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of periodontitis (95% vs. 72.5%) and stage III/IV periodontitis (55% vs. 20%, p = 0.011) than the controls. UC was associated with increased odds of stage III/IV periodontitis (OR = 4.0, 95% CI: 1.24–12.88, p = 0.02), and this association remained significant after adjusting for age and smoking status. However, after further adjustment for age and plaque levels, the association was attenuated and lost statistical significance. (4) Conclusions: Patients with UC demonstrated a higher prevalence and severity of periodontitis than healthy controls, including a significantly increased proportion of stage III/IV cases. These findings highlight the need for periodontal screening and oral hygiene education as part of the management of patients with UC in Mongolia.
URBAN PUBLIC SPACE AS SOCIAL INTERACTION SPACE: CASE STUDY IN PETALING STREET

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Despite the fading cultural value as a Chinatown, the relationship of the society and its public space is a form of a natural phenomenon that is inseparable. The changing functions of public space in Malaysia were identified to decrease the quality of social and cultural activities in Petaling Street. Therefore, this study aims to explore urban public spaces as the main social driver in crating interaction in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. The relationship between attributes of the urban public space and visitor retention were analyzed in this study. In terms of social interaction, the user activities were interrelated with the sociability of the urban space. The questionnaire survey was selected as the main medium for data collection distributed to the visitors and locals within the Klang Valley who have visited Petaling Street Chinatown. A total of 150 respondents involved and the analysis shows that street furniture does affect their preferences in an urban public space. Furthermore, the time spent by respondents will increase depending on the external factors such as weather and aesthetics. On the other hand, the internal factor that contributes to the number of visitors in Petaling Street Chinatown is their accompanying traveler which in the context of a solo traveler, the street should be celebrated with vibrancy.
REGULATION AND PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY OF ADAM12 METALLOPROTEASE

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) can influence multiple cellular processes involved in normal development and pathogenesis. ADAM12 expression levels are elevated in many patho-logical conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and muscle regeneration. Recently, ADAM12 has emerged as a candidate cancer gene in a comprehensive genetic analysis of human breast cancers. The regulation of ADAM12 expression is poorly understood. Identification of new substrates for ADAM12 metalloprotease can expand our knowledge of processes in which ADAM12 is involved. Here, we show that ADAM12 expression is upregulated by transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), an essential signaling pathway for many cellular processes. This upregulation requires proteosomal degradation of a transcriptional repressor SnoN. Furthermore, breast cancer cell lines expressing high levels of SnoN have significantly impaired induction of ADAM12 by TGFβ, sug-gesting an inverse correlation between SnoN and the extent of regulation of ADAM12 by TGFβ. Additionally, we demonstrate that ADAM12 is one of the metalloproteases involved in shed-ding a Notch ligand, Delta like 1 (Dll1). The Notch signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cell

Does crop insurance attenuate farm financial risk?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Purpose Federally subsidized crop insurance aims to mitigate farm risks of crop producers. A body of literature has examined informational problems under this program. However, few studies empirically link crop insurance participation with farm financial performance. Most use county-level aggregates to argue that crop insurance participation is associated with increased farm financial debt. Using farm-level data, this study provides empirical evidence of crop insurance's effects on farm financial risk. Design/methodology/approach The impact of crop insurance on farm financial risks is assessed using farm-level data from Kansas. The sample consists of at least 1,600 farms each year from 2002 to 2015. Financial risks are measured using the probability of falling into the critical zone of five different financial ratios. The study uses two matching estimators to estimate the causal effects of crop insurance participation on farm financial risks. Several alternative empirical approaches account for unobserved heterogeneity and potential endogeneity. Findings Crop insurance participation has reduced the farm's likelihood of being in the critical liquidity risk by 8%. This result is robust across matching estimators and alternative specifications to account for unobserved heterogeneity and potential endogeneity. Originality/value This is one of the few studies to examine whether crop insurance reduces farm financial risks. This study provides empirical evidence of the extent to which crop insurance enrollment impacts farm financial risks. Findings suggest that crop insurance is critical to maintaining the financial well-being of crop producers, and significantly reduces the likelihood of producers being in a critical liquidity risk.
Intermedial Topography and Metaphorical Interaction

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

As the title of this volume illustrates, we often tend to think of arts and media in terms of geographic areas delineated by borders, and consequently of interartial and intermedial studies as a kind of topographical description, a charting of territories and their positions in relation to each other. This conception is often a helpful way of imagining the arts and media, and one which is deeply connected to the way they have been functioning for the last couple of hundred years or so. My point in this essay is not to argue that the topographical model ought to be discarded, but to contrast it with a different model, namely the conceptualization of intermedial relations in terms of metaphoricity.1 My examples will concern the interplay between music and literature, specifically works of Western art music (Ravel and Mozart) and poetry (Bertrand and Celan) that bring the ‘other’ medium into play.
Design Strategies for the Eternal Reoccurrence of the New

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In response to increasing resource pressures and environmental degradation in relation to the fashion industry, the body of academic work on extending garment lifetimes is growing steadily. Yet there is a lack of knowledge regarding how design strategies for longevity play out in practice. This research aims to bridge that gap by drawing on both theoretical knowledge and empirical data from three case studies conducted in UK-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Each case study comprised in-depth interviews and visual observations. The results reveal that a range of design strategies for extended garment lifetimes are evident in practice, as garments are inspired by deep-rooted personal interests rather than fleeting trends; silhouettes are honed and evolve slowly over time; and removable modular elements creating updateable pieces and eternally mendable clothing are found. Furthermore, the longevity of a garment is influenced by a complex interplay between the material objects themselves, cultural norms and individual behavior. By focusing on small innovative labels that may be described as exemplars, simultaneously challenging and shaping the future of fashion, this study contributes to knowledge by describing fashion design strategies for sustainability. Greater clarity in relation to sustainable practices is also provided for industry.
Comparison of top and bottom loading of a dextran gradient for rat pancreatic islet purification.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Rat pancreatic islet yields obtained with dextran gradient purification were compared after suspending the digest into either the top or the bottom layer of the gradient. A 5-layer discontinuous gradient was used, which consisted of 16 ml 31% dextran as bottom layer, overlayered with 25%, 23%, 20% and 11% dextran (4 ml each). When the digest of 1 rat pancreas was suspended into the top layer of the gradient, the total number of islets obtained from the 11-20, 20-23 and 23-25% interfaces was 862 +/- 38, 240 +/- 39 and 54 +/- 5, respectively. From this gradient, also 1409 +/- 81 islets were retrieved from the bottom layer (i.e., exocrine pellet). In contrast, when the pancreas digest was suspended into the bottom layer of the gradient, 1964 +/- 63, 435 +/- 42, and 177 +/- 34 islets were obtained from the successive interfaces, and only 50 +/- 20 islets from the exocrine pellet. The total islet volume obtained from the two uppermost interfaces was 3.46 +/- 0.31 microliters after top-loading, and 4.93 +/- 0.16 microliters after bottom-loading (n = 7, p < 0.01). When the islets retrieved from one bottom loaded gradient were transplanted into either 1 (n = 6) or 2 (n = 9) diabetic recipients, glucose levels normalized in all instances. We therefore conclude that a bottom-loaded dextran gradient separates islets from exocrine tissue effectively, resulting in significantly higher islet yields than obtained with a top-loaded dextran gradient.

Investigation of Gate Induced Drain Leakage in Nanotube and Nanowire: A Comprehensive Study

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a comprehensive study of gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) in conventional silicon-nanotube (Si-NT JLFET), SiGe Source/Drain silicon-nanotube junctionless field effect transistor (S/D Si-NT JLFET) and conventional nanowire (NW) have been performed using technology computer-aided design simulations. We have also demonstrated that inclusion of SiGe S/D in Si-NT JLFET reduced the OFF-state current by order of ~3 from NT JLFET and by order of ~6 from NW JLFET. The impact of variation of core gate thickness ([Formula: see text], germanium (Ge) content [Formula: see text], and location of SiGe in source and drain regions of the S/D Si-NT JLFET have been studied from the GIDL perspective. We found that SiGe S/D Si-NT JLFET exhibits impressively high [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] ratio [Formula: see text] with reduced lateral band-to-band tunneling (L-BTBT)-induced GIDL than the conventional nanowire device. The is due to SiGe S/D that creates a energy valence band discontinuity at source drain interfaces which limits the flow of electrons from channel to drain region in the OFF-state.
'The Miracle of Reading' : Leesbevordering in Cassell's Book of Knowledge (1925)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Looking at the ‘literature and science’ field from a book history perspective, this article discusses the ways in which an encyclopedia from the interwar years convinces children who might prefer science to literature of the importance of reading books. How can reading help the budding scientist? To find an answer to this question I did a search of entries and paratexts for information on why, what and how we should read. It turns out that on many levels of the text, The Book of Knowledge contributes to the knowledge of books. Through explicit advice and implicit allusions, books are presented as a vital means for gaining and sharing knowledge. This propaganda for books not only serves the intellectual development of the young readers of the Book of Knowledge, but also secures the future of the publishing house by shaping new customers. This case study is set against the backdrop of the ongoing discussion on the relevance of the humanities in a society that is focused on STEM.
Lipolysis of trivernolin by pancreatic lipase

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Vernolic acid ( cis ‐12,13‐epoxy‐ cis ‐9‐oetadece‐noic acid) occurs as the triglyceride in the seed of Vernonia anthelmintica. Incubation of the seed produces a 1,3‐divernolin. To determine whether the structure of trivernolin is responsible for the apparent secondary ester position specificity of the natural enzyme, trivernolin and tri‐olein, were incubated with pancreatic lipase and the free fatty acids and monoglycerides were determined after 5 and 15 min digestion periods. The preponderance of 2‐monoglyceride produced by the action of pancreatic lipase was interpreted to indicate that the structure of trivernolin was not solely responsible for the secondary position specificity of the V. anthelmintica lipase toward trivernolin.
