Abstract:
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been a major cause of missed game time among Australian Football League (AFL) players. Return to play after ACL reconstruction is not always achieved, even among elite athletes. The rate of subsequent ACL injury in the AFL from 1990 to 2000 was high as compared with that of other elite sports. Purpose: To determine the rates of return to play and subsequent ACL injury after ACL reconstruction among AFL players from 1999 to 2013 and to explore factors associated with differing rates of return to play and subsequent ACL injury.

Background: Achieving preinjury levels of athletic performance has been challenging for elite athletes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Although a recent study found that 77% of Australian Football League (AFL) players who underwent ACL reconstruction from 1999 to 2013 returned to play at the highest level, the study did not indicate how consistently or well they were able to play.

Abstract:
Auction-based Federated Learning (AFL) has gained significant research interest due to its ability to incentivize data owners (DOs) to participate in FL model training tasks of data consumers (DCs) through economic mechanisms via the auctioneer. One of the critical research issues in AFL is decision support for the auctioneer. Existing approaches are based on the simplified assumption of a single, monopolistic AFL marketplace, which is unrealistic in real-world scenarios where multiple AFL marketplaces can co-exist and compete for the same pool of DOs.

This study investigates the issues Malay language teachers in Malaysia National Types Chinese School (SJKC) regarding the inconsistent application assessment for learning (AfL) practices, the persistence of traditional teachercentered, and the challenge of aligning AfL practices with curriculum standards and assessment criteria. These issues have a critical impact on the effectiveness of assessment, teaching, and learning. Given AfL’s potential to address educational challenges and enhance student outcomes, this study is highly relevant. To achieve this goal, a qualitative case study design ap

This case study aims to find out a novice teacher's knowledge of assessment for learning (AFL) and which AFL strategies are frequently used and considered helpful to enhance students' English proficiency. This study digs into the experience of an English teacher who has been teaching for two years in a secondary school in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The data of the study were mainly obtained from interviews and teaching artifacts. The collected data were then analyzed using thematic analysis.

Abstract Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain molds and are common contaminants of many important food crops, such as grains, nuts, and spices. Some mycotoxins are found in fruits, vegetables, and botanical roots. These contaminants have a broad range of toxic effects, including carcinogenicity, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity. The public health concerns related to both acute and chronic effects of mycotoxins in animals have prompted more than 100 countries to establish regulatory limits for some of the well-known mycotoxins,
