Hamstring Strain Injury Risk in Soccer: An Exploratory, Hypothesis-Generating Prediction Model

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are common in soccer and difficult to predict. Machine learning and regression approaches may identify novel strength-related predictors, but model development requires transparent reporting. Objective: To develop and internally validate a prediction model for hamstring strain injuries in amateur soccer players using preseason strength and clinical measures. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 120 amateur male soccer players monitored across one competitive season (30 weeks). Baseline predictors were age, body mass index, prior injury, and bilateral isometric hip and knee strength variables measured with a handheld dynamometer. The outcome was player-level hamstring injury status (≥1 HSI vs none). Twenty candidate predictors were reduced to 10 via symmetrical uncertainty feature ranking. A logistic regression model was trained (n=83 players) with nested four-fold cross-validation and tested on an independent hold-out set (n=37 players). Model performance was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve (AUC), calibration slope and intercept, and confusion matrices. Results: Twenty-one players sustained ≥1 HSI (32 events; 28% reinjuries). With 10 predictors and 21 events, the events-per-variable ratio was 2.1, below recommended thresholds, indicating risk of overfitting. On the test set (5 injured, 32 uninjured), the model achieved an accuracy 64.9%, AUC 0.68 (95% CI 0.52–0.84), calibration slope 0.85, and intercept –0.12. Sensitivity was 60% and specificity 65.6%. Dominant-leg hip abduction strength was the only statistically significant predictor (OR=0.82, 95% CI 0.70–0.96), though stability analyses identified previous hamstring injury as the most consistent contribution despite significance in regression due to limited events. Conclusion: Previous hamstring injury remained the strongest predictor of future injury risk, while reduced dominant-leg hip abduction strength emerged as a candidate risk factor but demonstrated instability under resampling. Neither age nor hamstring isometric strength were significant predictors in this cohort. Model discrimination was modest, calibration indicated mild overfitting, and overall risk of bias was high. This study represents a TRIPOD Category 2 prediction model development without external validation. Findings should therefore be considered exploratory and hypothesis-generating, requiring confirmation in larger, methodologically robust cohorts.
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá: masculinity, memory and authority in contemporary republican Belfast

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Good Friday Agreements in Northern Ireland marked the end of a thirty year period of violence known as the Troubles. The shift from the bullet to the ballot box was a complicated rhetorical move, particularly for the Republican faction, who had a communal identity predicated upon a public memory of 800 years of opposition to British rule. This public memory, articulated in both verbal and material narratives, was used to justify the war. Both the Leader(ship) and the People articulate these narratives, while being simultaneously articulated by them. In the Northern Irish case, the Leader for a majority of the Republican People has been the Sinn Féin Leader(ship). Their authority is predicated upon an authenticity derived from memories of their embodied masculine performances. Sinn Féin's authority is currently being questioned by dissidents. Their dissonance points to contradictions in the gender performance of the Sinn Féin Leader(ship). In so doing, these dissidents contest the foundation of Sinn Féin's power, particularly in the communities that most earnestly demand the continuity of the nuanced communal gender roles that Sinn Féin supported during the Troubles.
Mental Models and Transfer Learning

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Using a laboratory experiment, we investigate the extent to which learning is transferred between related problems in the context of an updating task. The updating principle we study requires updating positively after a positive signal and negatively after a negative signal. In the first environment, most subjects initially fail to satisfy the principle but eventually adjust after feedback. The environment they face subsequently presents the same challenges but with different parameter values. We find weak evidence for transfer learning: only half of the subjects who learn to be consistent with the principle remain so when the parameter values are changed.
Determination of the influence of starch sources and mashing procedures on the range of the molecular weight distribution of beer using field-flow fractionation

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To produce experimental beers, different mash mixtures (barley malt, barley malt + 30% pre-cooked maize, barley malt + 30% nonmalted spelt) and distinct mashing procedures (infusion and decoction) with variations of the rest time and initial temperatures were evaluated. The range of molecular weight distribution (MWD) of the resulting beers was determined using asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation coupled to multiangle laser light scattering and refractive index. There were no differences on the range of MWD among the beers, according to infusion or decoction, using similar raw materials and initial temperatures (45 and 55°C). However the range of MWD was higher (p < 0.005) when using infusion at an initial temperature of 63°C, regardless of the raw material. The use of maize did not alter structural properties of the beer, while mash containing nonmalting spelt caused an elevation on the MWD (p < 0.001) and a lower (p < 0.05) apparent degree of fermentation. Therefore the range of the MWD of the beers was influenced by the quality of the raw material and the initial mashing temperature, whereas apparent degree of fermentation values were affected only by the type of starch source. Thus the determination of the MWD is an important tool for monitoring the production of beer. Copyright © 2013 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
Phosphatidylethanol Levels Among Incarcerated Women: The Influence of Pre‐incarceration Alcohol Consumption and Length of Abstinence

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Phosphatidylethanol ( PE th) is a direct biomarker for alcohol that is formed shortly after alcohol use and may remain detectable in blood for weeks after alcohol consumption. There is little research on alcohol use factors that influence PE th elimination, especially among women. Methods Data were collected from 116 alcohol use‐disordered women who were recently incarcerated. We used a 2‐part model with logistic and linear components to examine whether alcohol consumption in the 2 weeks prior to incarceration and days since last alcoholic drink (operationalized as abstinence days prior to incarceration + days incarcerated) were associated with PE th detectability (>8 ng/ml) and level (ng/ml) in blood. Results Participants reported drinking an average of 10 drinks per day in the 2 weeks prior to incarceration. Days since last drink was negatively associated with PE th level (odds ratio [OR] = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.93; 0.99) and being PE th detectable ( OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.91; 0.99). Quantity of alcohol consumed prior to jail admission was associated with PE th detection ( OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.03; 1.16), but not PE th level. Conclusions Days since last alcoholic drink and drinks per day both influenced PE th detectability, but only days since last drink predicted PE th level among a large sample of women with alcohol use disorder in the criminal justice system.

Two Cases of Isolated Congenital Anosmia with Agenesis of the Olfactory Bulbs and Tracts

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Congenital anosmia is usually described as a familial disorder in association with various sexual and other developmental abnormalities.Congenital anosmia occurring as an isolated defect in a single family member is extremely rare.That is said to exist when a patient has no recall of smell sensation dating from early childhood.We report two cases of isolated agenesis of the olfactory bulbs and tracts unrelated to pathological, syndromic diseases.We outline the investigations which should be undertaken in such cases.
Is the Framework of Cohn's ‘Tritope Model’ for How T Cell Receptors Recognize Peptide/Self‐MHC Complexes and Allo‐MHC Plausible?

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Cohn has developed the tritope model to describe how distinct domains of the T cell receptor (TcR) recognize peptide/self‐ MHC complexes and allo‐ MHC . He has over the years employed this model as a framework for considering how the TcR might mediate various signals [1–5]. In a recent publication [5], Cohn employs the Tritope Model to propose a detailed mechanism for the T cell receptor's involvement in positive thymic selection [5]. During a review of this proposal, I became uneasy over the plausibility of the underlying framework of the Tritope Model. I outline here the evolutionary considerations making me question this framework. I also suggest that the proposed framework underlying the Tritope Model makes strong predictions whose validity can most probably be assessed by considering observations reported in the literature.
Learners with ADHD: Concerns and coping mechanisms in the clinic

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

ADHD often manifests as distractibility, lack of awareness of surroundings, inadequate organizational skills, and the inability to adapt to the new routines. This is especially difficult when trying to manage the responsibilities of a fast‐paced and challenging health science curriculum. Unmanaged ADHD symptoms can also lead to concern over professionalism (e.g., tardiness, keeping appointments, missing deadlines, and the inability to focus on the task). The aforementioned cognitive activities require excellent executive functioning and are essential for medical and other health science learners in the clinic.
Determining a bandpass filter for interfering fringe spectrum extraction using clustering analysis

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We propose a clustering-analysis approach that addresses the bandpass filter (BPF) detection problem in the analysis of the peak position of the interference envelope in vertical-scanning wideband interferometry. Our approach exploits the fact that the fringe signal formed by a wideband light source is a superposition of deterministic fringe signals and noise. Consequently, two clusters can be specified in advance for use in the k-means clustering analysis. We describe our measurement procedure and its development using a two-means method-based spectrum selection scheme based on the constituent characteristics of interference fringes. The details of our approach are introduced within the framework of femtosecond optical frequency comb-based interferometry. Our experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the conventional heuristic threshold-based BPF estimation for envelope peak determination.

140 What Effect Does Systems Integration Simulation Have on the Sense of Preparedness of Teams Moving to a New Unit?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Testing new healthcare systems, environments and processes using simulation-based methods is a rapidly growing topic in the literature. By testing systems in a safe and controlled environment, simulation for system integration allows operational and safety issues to be flagged up without risking patient care This study aims to explore the lived experience of change in nurses moving to a new hospital, and the impact of a simulation programme on their sense of preparedness. The Patient Environment Simulation for Systems Integration (PESSI) programme was developed to test new processes and environments to identify latent safety threats and systems issues prior to staff, patient and community use. A major PESSI project was commissioned to aid the transition of paediatric care in Edinburgh to a new hospital site. Simulation scenarios were developed to mimic an average working morning for each department using staff feedback on processes or factors that might be affected by the change in environment. Staff were invited to participate in departmental simulation days which included orientation in the new environment, a simulation scenario, and a professional debriefing. Following each session, a report was produced detailing key findings. The research team selected a constructivist phenomenological approach to the enquiry and using Bartunek’s et al.’s conceptual framework designed pre- and post-simulation semi-structured interviews (SSIs), and mid-intervention ‘headline reflections’ Results are currently being analysed following the hospital move in March this year. Early findings suggest ‘quality of communication’ and ‘opportunity for familiarization with the environment’ were key themes influencing participant’s feelings of preparedness prior to the move. While ‘recognition of voice’, ‘personal impact’ and ‘good leadership’ appear to be factors impacting participants’ feelings towards the change in working environment after the move. Early indications suggest that the inclusion of local staff groups as part of this simulation had a positive impact on the perception and preparedness of large-scale change. As simulation for system integration becomes more common, it is important that we tailor simulation programmes to best prepare not only the new systems but also the people working there. This can only be done through listening and learning from staff experiences. The research team will seek to publish these findings to help inform future simulation for systems integration programmes.
Tonal Noise Radiation from UHBR Fan - Active Control of Radiation Characteristic

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Tests at an UHBR fan rig were performed to show the current status of active noise control (ANC) techniques to reduce tonal fan noise. Excellent performance of modal control approach is demonstrated at medium frequencies for a single azimuthal mode with up to three radial mode orders. A correlation analysis of the primary sound filed is established that predicts the control performance very well. Furthermore the control algorithm was enhanced to enable explicit control of a single radial mode with induct sensors only. After the control tests had been finished the data analysis revealed that the control effort was in deed concentrated solely on the target radial mode. The paper gives a detailed description of the methodology how the decomposition into a radial mode was achieved with a minimum number of sensors and actuators.
The Financial Structure of a Life Office

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Synopsis The authors' purpose in this paper is to analyse the financial structure of a life office and, in particular, the relationship between the assets and liabilities of a life assurance fund. This analysis is based upon the principle that the guarantees of future capital security and of long-term interest yield involved in the contracts issued by a life office should be backed either by “matched assets” providing equivalent guarantees of capital and interest or by sufficient free reserves to cover the possible adverse effects of departure from the “matched assets” position. In Parts I and II of the paper, the principle of “matched assets” is studied in relation to three model offices representing stationary and increasing funds operating under idealised conditions. For each model office the “standard” date-distribution of assets is determined–the distribution which, so far as possible, will insulate the fund from the effects of fluctuations in the market rate of interest upon existing assets and liabilities. The profit or loss resulting from “going long” or “going short”, as compared with the standard asset distribution, is then investigated against the background of a rise or a fall in the general level of interest rates.
In vivo Activity of the LHRH Pulse Generator as Determined with Push-Pull Perfusion of the Anterior Pituitary Gland of Unrestrained Intact and Castrate Male Rats

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

In the present article we report that in vivo LHRH output as measured at the anterior pituitary following castration significantly increased, due to larger and more frequent LHRH signals arriving to this gland. This contrasts with the decreased amplitude and overall mean LHRH release of castrate males bearing a push-pull cannula within the hypothalamus. These divergent results have generated a new thesis regarding the role of gonadal steroids upon the LHRH pulse generator. This thesis submits that following castration there is an increased frequency and decreased amplitude of the LHRH signal from discrete loci within the medial basal hypothalamus, but an increased synchrony of LHRH release throughout the entire hypothalamus, resulting in an increased frequency and amplitude of LHRH arriving at the anterior pituitary.
Endovascular Injury Induces Rapid Phenotypic Changes in Perivascular Adipose Tissue

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective— Accumulating evidence suggests that adipose tissue not only stores energy but also secretes various bioactive substances called adipocytokines. Periadventitial fat is distributed ubiquitously around arteries throughout the body. It was reported that inflammatory changes in the periadventitial fat may have a direct role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases accelerated by obesity. We investigated the effect of endovascular injury on the phenotype of perivascular fat. Methods and Results— Endovascular injury significantly upregulated proinflammatory adipocytokines and downregulated adiponectin within periadventitial fat tissue in models of mouse femoral artery wire injury and rat iliac artery balloon injury. Genetic disruption of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α attenuated upregulation of proinflammatory adipocytokine expression, with reduced neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury. Local delivery of TNF-α to the periadventitial area enhanced inflammatory adipocytokine expression, which was associated with augmented neointimal hyperplasia in TNF-α-deficient mice. Conditioned medium from a coculture of 3T3-L1 and RAW264 cells stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. An anti-TNF-α neutralizing antibody in the coculture abrogated the stimulating effect of the conditioned medium. Conclusion— Our findings indicate that endovascular injury induces rapid and marked changes in perivascular adipose tissue, mainly mediated by TNF-α. It is suggested that the phenotypic changes in perivascular adipose tissue may have a role in the pathogenesis of neointimal hyperplasia after angioplasty.
