Integration of High Velocity Elastic Band for Hamstring Training in Pre-Season Routine of Football Players

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background. A need for other methods of hamstring strengthening are thus warranted with the main aim of reducing the risk of injury during the subsequent intense athletic activities. The study aimed to examine changes in hamstring strength in response to high velocity elastic band training when incorporated into regular training routine of football players. Methods. Research participants were professional top level football players (age 23.1 ± 5.7 years; weight 77.2 ± 7.7 kg, training experience 14.1 ± 5.8 years). In the pre-season, in addition to their routine training, the experimental group performed hamstring curls at maximal intensity while lying prone three times per week for five weeks, while control group continued their routine training. Concentric knee torque at 60°/s and 180°/s angular velocities, countermovement jump height, 30m sprint running performance from standing and flying start, and knee flexion-extension movement frequency were measured before and after the 5 weeks of training. Results. Hamstring curl frequency during lying prone increase by 10.5 % (p < .05) in the experimental group and did not change in the control group. Peak torque for knee flexion and knee extension, jump height and sprint running performance did not change significantly in any group (p > .05). Conclusion. High velocity elastic band training incorporated into regular pre-season routine is beneficial for football players to increase their knee extension-flexion maximal movement frequency with no evident effects on strength, jump and sprint running performance. Results might be related with concurrent training during preparatory training phase of the pre-season when several physical capacities are being developed simultaneously. Keywords: high speed movements; peak torque; sprint performance; prevention of hamstring injuries; knee flexion strength.
‘” Hyper-Warburg“ Phenomenon - A Rare Complication

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: Malignant cells rewire metabolism to promote growth and survival through fermentation of glucose to lactate known as Warburg phenomenon; this process occurs even in aerobic conditions. To produce enough ATP the cells must increase the rate of glucose uptake. We report a fatal case of severe hypoglycemia and progressive lactic acidosis in a patient with lymphoma thought to be from Hyper-Warburgism. Case: 57-year-old male with no past medical history presented with diarrhea, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting of 1-week duration. At presentation he was hemodynamically stable except for mild tachycardia. Biochemical evaluation showed normal renal function, glucose of 115 mg/dl, sodium of 126 mmol/dL, mild leukocytosis and anemia. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed large retroperitoneal mesenteric portacaval and periportal nodes, biopsy of which revealed CD 30 + T- cell lymphoma. He was discharged with outpatient oncology follow up but re-presented within 1 week with weakness. He was noted to be hypoglycemic with a serum glucose of 55 mg/dl, which was corrected with D50. Laboratory work up showed anemia, mild leukocytosis. Lactic acid was elevated at 5 mmol/dl (0.5–2.2). Chest X ray showed increased peri-hilar markings and he was admitted for presumed sepsis secondary to community acquired pneumonia. Throughout the hospitalization he had persistent hypoglycemia with a serum glucose as low as 33 mg/dl but with only mild neurocognitive symptoms. He was started on a continuous glucose infusion up to 20 g/hr with no significant improvement of the hypoglycemia. He was started on stress dose steroids again without much improvement. Lab evaluation to rule out insulin mediated hypoglycemia was limited an IGF level 1.3 mcg/ml (3.4–6.9), insulin level 2.4 uIU/ml (2.5- 25) with a corresponding serum glucose of 119 mg/dl. He had negative urine and blood cultures. Lactate level continued to increase throughout the hospitalization to as high as 11.3 mmol/dl with the continuous glucose infusion. He unfortunately suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away. Discussion: Warburg phenomenon is an adaptive form of metabolism where malignant cells utilize glucose via the glycolytic pathway irrespective of the oxygen content. This process requires increased glucose uptake to sustain energy production and, in some cases, can result in clinically asymptomatic hypoglycemia and concurrent lactic acidosis. Infusions of dextrose are thought to ‘feed’ the cycle. This severe complication is very rare and associated more commonly with lymphoproliferative disorders as demonstrated in this case. Hypoglycemia and lactic acidosis has been shown to improve only after institution of chemotherapy for treatment of the underlying malignancy. It is important to maintain a high index of suspicion as this cause of hypoglycemia has important therapeutic implications.
Liquid Crystalline Features in a Polyolefin of Poly(methylene-1,3-cyclopentane)

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

A liquid crystalline phase has been discovered in a polyolefin of poly(methylene-1,3-cyclopentane) (PMCP) having low molecular weight, which was obtained with cyclization polymerization of 1,5-hexadiene (HD) using a zirconocene catalyst in the presence of chain transfer reagents. PMCP clearly shows fluidity and birefringence above the glass transition temperature under the ambient conditions. Schlieren-like texture, which indicates nematic liquid crystalline phase, has been detected in places. Clear diffraction pattern is observed in wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis below the isotropization temperature. The isotropization temperature decreases with decreasing of molecular weight of the PMCP. PMCP with the higher molecular weight takes the longer time for liquid crystallization from isotropic phase. Non-Newtonian viscosity region in the range of low share rate, which is a characteristic of liquid crystal, has been detected below the isotropization temperature.
Therapeutic alliance in telephone-administered cognitive–behavioral therapy for hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

A strong therapeutic alliance has been found to predict psychotherapeutic treatment success across a variety of therapeutic modalities and patient populations. However, only a few studies have examined therapeutic alliance as a predictor of psychotherapy outcome among cancer survivors, and none have examined this relation in telephone administered cognitive behavioral therapy (T-CBT). This study evaluated the extent to which therapeutic alliance affected psychotherapy outcomes in survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a treatment for some cancers.

Beside that, there were also positive significant correlation among adaptation, goal attainment and objective welfare. Those mean that the more adaptation function being done and the more aims that family want to achieve; then the higher the family objective welfare. Latency function of family had a positive correlation with subjective welfare. It means that the better latency in poor farmer families lead the higher the family subjective welfare.
Quantifying and benchmarking quality : the TAUS Dynamic Quality Framework

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Translation quality is one of the key topics in the translation industry today. In 2011, the Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) developed the Dynamic Quality Framework (DQF) in an attempt to standardize translation quality evaluation. Quality in DQF is considered dynamic since today’s translation quality requirements change depending on content type, purpose and audience. DQF contains a rich knowledge base, resources on quality evaluation and a number of tools to profile and evaluate translated content. DQF is freely available for academics and can be accessed on the TAUS Evaluate platform.
The Consensus for Discrete-Time Linear Multi-Agent Systems Under Directed Switching Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The existing results on the leaderless and leader-following consensus problems for discrete-time linear multi-agent systems subject to jointly connected switching networks are limited to undirected networks. This note will first study the stability property for a class of discrete-time linear switched systems. This stability result will then be applied to the two consensus problems for discrete-time linear multi-agent systems subject to directed jointly connected switching networks. It is shown that, in some interesting cases, the two problems are solvable by the distributed state feedback control law even if the switching networks are directed and every time disconnected.
Truly Concurrent Pi-Calculi with Reversibility, Probabilism and Guards

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The well-known process algebras, such as CCS, ACP and $π$-calculus, capture the interleaving concurrency based on bisimilarity semantics. We did some work on truly concurrent process algebras, such as CTC, APTC and $π_{tc}$, capture the true concurrency based on truly concurrent bisimilarities, such as pomset bisimilarity, step bisimilarity, history-preserving (hp-) bisimilarity and hereditary history-preserving (hhp-) bisimilarity. Truly concurrent process algebras are generalizations of the corresponding traditional process algebras. In this book, we introduce reversibility, probabilism, and guards into truly concurrent calculus $π_{tc}$.

Fostering Holistic Thinking: Design of an Interdisciplinary Systems-Thinking Course

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

In an era dominated by intricate challenges, navigating complex systems and wicked problems is paramount for the engineering discipline's evolution. This necessity beckons a departure from conventional educational paradigms towards a holistic and transdisciplinary pedagogical approach. This paper delineates the development of a systems-thinking course tailored to instill such competencies. Grounded in a robust framework of learning outcomes, the course is strategically crafted to facilitate a comprehensive examination of complex systems and the nuanced nature of wicked problems. The curriculum, rich in experiential learning opportunities, weaves together practical exercises, theoretical discussions, and collaborative project work, enabling students to cultivate a deep, holistic understanding of the challenges at the intersection of political, environmental, social, technological, economic, and legal dimensions. By employing a variety of system-mapping techniques, along with primary and secondary research methods, and honing effective communication skills, students are equipped to confront real-world issues with enhanced analytical and critical thinking capabilities.
Re-Imagining Global Education in the Neoliberal Age

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this chapter, I want to explore the lasting impact of neoliberalism on the development of global education, in both K-12 and higher education sectors, in the United Kingdom and Canada. In so doing, I hope to illustrate the urgent need for a reassessment of, and reinvestment in, global education's visionary goals at a time when economic interests, as determined by the global free market, trump the broader concerns of planetary health and the common good.
Georg Lorenz Seidenbecher, Franckenberg’s Spiritual and Philosophical Son

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter documents how Abraham von Franckenberg actively apprenticed some of his contacts and correspondents as spiritual alchemists, most notably Georg Lorenz Seidenbecher. In his later years, Franckenberg became increasingly interested in alchemical literature. Exiled in Danzig due to the Thirty Years’ War, he encountered the young Seidenbecher in the summer of 1649. They met frequently, and Franckenberg gave Seidenbecher letters and manuscript texts to copy and internalise. Two letters to Tobias König and other texts that survive in an edition from the eighteenth century show how Franckenberg pointed his associates towards spiritual alchemy without giving it away too easily. Having left Danzig, Seidenbecher corresponded with Franckenberg until the latter’s death in 1652.
The mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination in pre-service teachers

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination in teacher candidates. Structural equation modeling, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The participants of the study consisted of a total of 478 teacher candidates, 328 female and 150 male, between the ages of 18-41. Personal Information Form, Aitken Procrastination Inventory, Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and Self-Compassion Scale were used as data collection tools in the research. According to the findings, perfectionism has a negative relationship with self-compassion, perfectionism has a positive relationship with academic procrastination, and self-compassion has a negative relationship with academic procrastination. As a result of the Bootstrap analysis for the significance of indirect effects, it was found that self-compassion had a partial mediating role in the relationship between perfectionism and academic procrastination.
Follicular psoriasis: a report of 5 cases and review of the literature, likely an under-recognized yet distinctive variant of psoriasis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Psoriasis is a common autoimmune dermatosis representing an interplay between certain genetic predisposing factors along with clonally restricted Th1 T cells responding to epidermal keratinocyte derived antigen. A unique IL17/IL23 cytokine-rich milieu is pathogenetically significant and conducive to its salient histomorphologic features, such as epidermal hyperplasia and intraepidermal influx of neutrophils. The classic cutaneous manifestation is that of plaque psoriasis also referred to as psoriasis vulgaris with characteristic well-circumscribed erythematous plaques covered by silvery scales. Follicular psoriasis is an uncommon variant manifesting as a scaly folliculocentric hyperkeratotic eruption of the trunk and extremities, irrespective of the presence or absence of conventional lesions of psoriasis vulgaris. In this study we present 5 cases of follicular psoriasis, review the literature, and provide a proposal regarding relevant pathologic findings and potential pathogenetic mechanisms. The incidence of follicular psoriasis is unknown, emphasizing its rarity given the overall incidence of conventional psoriasis in the general population. Owing to the lack of awareness, this clinical presentation is often mistaken for other follicular dermatoses, including bacterial folliculitis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, keratosis pilaris, or follicular eczema.
How to adjust vertical turbine pumps for maximum efficiency

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The average performance indicates that about 30% of the energy used for irrigation could be saved if all pumping plants operated at the Nebraska Performance Criteria. There are many causes for poor pumping plant performance. Major causes were poor power unit performance, and poor pump performance often caused by improper pump adjustment. This circular discusses proper pump adjustment to attain maximum efficiency. Both semi-open and enclosed types of turbine pumps used in irrigation can benefit from proper impeller adjustment provided enough wear has occurred to allow water to leak past the pump seals and be recirculated within the pump bowl, and that there is enough seal area remaining in the bowl to reestablish a seal by lowering the impellers.

How Much Money Do You Need to Feel Taller? Impact of Money on Perception of Body Height

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Body height is considered to be one of the most important reproductive signals. However, there are only a few publications on what influences the sense of whether we assess ourselves as tall or short. In the present contribution, the psychological impact of money on the evaluation of a person’s own height was tested. We performed two experimental studies in which the respondents had contact with different amounts of money and were asked to evaluate their body height with the use of a laser pointer. The first experiment (N = 61) showed that contact with money significantly increased subjective height evaluation, and the effect was independent of participants’ real body height. The second experiment (N = 120) replicated the effect of money manipulation. Moreover, it was shown that higher amounts of money increased one’s own height estimation more than smaller amounts. Our research shows that money can be used for building one’s social position, which is an attractiveness signal that can influence one’s own height evaluation.

Effects of calcium and A23187 on deformability and volume of human red blood cells.

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

Human red blood cells treated in vitro with Ca2+ plus A23187 in low K+ medium exhibited significantly decreased cell volume and deformability, the latter determined by ektacytometry. These effects of Ca2+ plus A23187 were prevented in the presence of high K+ medium. Increased K+ permeability mediated by increased intracellular Ca2+ (Gardos effect) was apparently responsible for decreased cell volume and deformability in low K+ medium. Although it is commonly accepted that Ca2+ accumulation and/or ATP depletion per se cause decreased red blood cell deformability, the present results demonstrate that acutely induced changes in red blood cell volume as promoted by Ca2+ are a more important determinant of red blood cell deformability.
