Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of a specialised two-month fitness programme with strength exercises on the body composition and aerobic endurance in recreational women. The research included a group of women aged 18–35 who had not previously been engaged in recreational exercises in fitness centres. The sample included 50 women who exercised at the Fivestar fitness centre in Gjilan, and who underwent the abovementioned programme. The composition of the body was evaluated using a Tanita BC-601 device and the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which was conducted as a reference method in the research related to the analysis of body composition. For this research, the following variables of body composition and aerobic endurance were applied: body height (BH), body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), muscle mass (TBM), bone mass or density (BMD), calorie expenditure (DCI), body vitality (BMR), body water intake (TBW), visceral fat intake (AVF), and the Rockport fitness test for aerobic endurance (ROFT). For the dependent group, the T-test analysis was applied through statistical methods. The results obtained after statistical processing showed that, in relation to the two-month programme three times a week (24 trainings), physical exercises in the fitness can affect the reduction of subcutaneous adipose tissue, and thus reduce the risk of various cardiovascular diseases. In addition to reducing fat mass with strength exercises in the fitness, there was also an improvement in aerobic endurance. This shows that, besides aerobic exercise, weight training should be applied to increase aerobic capacity.

Abstract:
Multicomponent exercise programs, which combine multiple modalities such as aerobic exercises, strength training exercises, flexibility exercises, and balance exercises, can help to promote healthy aging and prevent chronic diseases in aged women. Thus, the goal of this study is to examine if a multicomponent exercise program could improve body composition in community-dwelling aged women. A 6-month single-arm quasi-experimental research was conducted using a multicomponent exercise program for older adults. The sample included 38 women with a mean age of 63.50 years (SD = 6.47 years). Body composition and anthropometric measurement was conducted from baseline (T1), after intervention (T2), and follow-Up (T3). In addition, after exercise intervention, a significant difference with moderate to large effects was reported for fat mass [η2p = 0.374, p < 0.001)], bone density [η2p = 0.374, p < 0.05)], percentage of water [η2p = 0.374, p < 0.001)], and a metabolic equivalent task [η2p = 0.374, p < 0.05]. Additionally, a significant large effect size between T1 and T2 was verified. However, body composition indicators seem to decrease below baseline levels after concluding exercise intervention (T3). Muscle mass decreased significantly after exercise intervention and mean scores were lower compared to baseline data (T1). Thus, a positive effect of the multicomponent exercise program on body composition was established in this group of community-dwelling aged women. However, the relative improvement in body fat and muscle mass were lost after the exercise program’s conclusion for values below the baselines. Avoiding detraining periods is, therefore, fundamental to maintaining the normal relative body composition.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of resistance exercise program applied to eight weeks on some anthropometric measurements and body composition in sedentary women. Material: Fifteen volunteer women with a mean age of 20.67 ± 1.29 years were included in the study. After asking the participants whether there are any health problems before the exercise program, detailed information was given and the exercises were implemented correctly and efficiently. Participants were given a 45-minute resistance exercise for 3 days a week. In order to compare the data obtained (Wilcoxon Test) was applied to compare descriptive statistics with pre- and post-exercise values via using SPSS 22.0. Before and after the exercise program (Weight, Hip circumference, calf circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, shoulder circumference and BMI) were measured Results: According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the anthropometric measurement and body composition values of the exercise program applied before and after the exercise program of the participating women (p> 0.05) Conclusions: In conclusion, the effects of regularly performed exercises, especially aerobic and resistance exercises done for women, on persons are seen in the literature and research essays. Deterioration in the body composition of women is seen depending on age and excessive weight.

Abstract:
Exercise has many positive effects on the human organism. In this study, the effects of resistance exercise program, which is applied regularly for eight weeks, were investigated on body composition and some biochemical values. Twenty-four male volunteers participated in the study group. The participants were randomly divided into two equal groups: control and resistance exercise groups. While the participants in the control group attended only practice lessons in the faculty, the exercise group participated in the resistance exercise program 2 days a week for eight weeks in addition to the practice lessons. Body compositions of the participants were measured before and after the program and blood samples were taken. Thus, body weight, body fat percentage, mass body fat, Body mass index (BMI), AST, ALT, GGT, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL and VLDL cholesterol levels of the participants were determined. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS software. As a result of statistical analysis; there was difference only GGT value of the control group (p&lt;0.05). In the exercise group, body weight, body fat percentage, mass body fat, BMI, AST, ALT, GGT values ​​were found to be significant differences (p&lt;0.05). In conclusion, it was determined that resistance exercise program applied for eight weeks had significant effects on body composition and liver enzymes. However, although there are some minor changes in blood lipids, these changes are not statistically significant. It can be said that resistance exercises can be beneficial on liver enzymes and body composition but eight weeks resistance training may not be enough to change the blood lipid profile.

Abstract:
Energy Expenditure Combining Strength and Aerobic TrainingThe combination of Strength Training (ST) with Aerobic Training (AT) exercises in the same training session, which commonly appears in literature as the concurrent training, is widely used in fitness and physical condition programs, especially when the aim is to increase the energy expenditure during and after training session. The aim of this study was to identify, through literature, whether the combination of exercises of the ST with exercises of the AT allows changes in body composition and energy expenditure during and after the training session. Chronic studies have showed a positive effect on body composition (decreased in relative body fat) when the ST are combined with AT. Similarly, the acute effects of the order of combining these two types of exercise does not seem to affect energy expenditure, measured by oxygen consumption (VO2), during the training session and only change this expenditure in the first 15 minutes after the training session. In conclusion, we can say that the studies indicate that the combination of exercises of the ST with exercises of the AT has a positive effect on changes in body composition, and energy expenditure during and after training sessions.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 12 weeks of resistance exercise training on body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), total fat mass (FM), trunk, arm, and leg fat mass, and total lean body mass (LBM), arm, and leg lean mass of sedentary overweight healthy males. Twenty-nine sedentary overweight healthy males, aged 18-30 years, with a BMI ≥ 25, were enrolled in the study. The subjects were randomly assigned to either a resistance exercise group (REG, n=15) or an aerobic exercise group (AEG, n=14). Randomized subjects followed resistance (3 sessions/wk 60 min 2 sets × 12 repetitions of 5–7 exercises at 65% 1 repetition maximum in 1-4 weeks, 3 sets × 10 repetitions of 5–7 exercises at 75% 1 repetition maximum in 5-8 weeks, and 4 sets × 8 repetitions of 5–7 exercises at 85% 1 repetition maximum in 9-12 weeks,) and aerobic exercise programs (3 sessions/wk 60 min aerobic exercises at 40-50% heart rate reserve in 1-6 weeks and 70%–75% maximal heart rate in 5-8 weeks). At baseline and after the intervention session, total and regional body composition measurements were assessed using the Jawon make body composition analyzer (model IOI-353 Yuseong, South Korea). After the intervention study, there were significant differences observed between the groups regarding the investigated variables (BW, BMI, LBM, trunk, arm, leg lean mass, and arm fat mass p&lt; .05). Both REG and AEG were significantly decreased the amount of total FM, BF, trunk fat mass, arm fat mass, and leg fat mass (p&lt; .05). Trunk and arm lean mass were significantly improved only in the REG (p&lt; .05). In conclusion, resistance exercise training is an efficient training protocol, which produced a better improvement in regional lean mass.

Abstract:
Pre-exhaustion (PreEx) training is advocated on the principle that immediately preceding a compound exercise with an isolation exercise can target stronger muscles to pre-exhaust them to obtain greater adaptations in strength and size. However, research considering PreEx training method is limited. The present study looked to examine the effects of a PreEx training programme. Thirty-nine trained participants (male = 9, female = 30) completed 12 weeks of resistance training in 1 of 3 groups: a group that performed PreEx training (n = 14), a group that performed the same exercise order with a rest interval between exercises (n = 17), and a control group (n = 8) that performed the same exercises in a different order (compound exercises prior to isolation). No significant between-group effects were found for strength in chest press, leg press, or pull-down exercises, or for body composition changes. Magnitude of change was examined for outcomes also using effect size (ES). ESs for strength changes were considered large for each group for every exercise (ranging 1.15 to 1.62). In conclusion, PreEx training offers no greater benefit to performing the same exercises with rest between them compared with exercises performed in an order that prioritises compound movements.

Abstract:
This research examined how sixth-grade students utilized evaluations and goals while revising their texts, to determine if those students who were identified as better writers also had more success when revising, and if specific types or configurations of operations lead to more successful revision. A coding system was developed to identify evaluations and goals according to the functions that they served during revision. Evaluations were categorized as either acceptance or rejection evaluations, depending on their judgment of the text. Goals were categorized as text strategy or guidance goals, depending on whether they instituted a specific strategy to counter a perceived problem in the text, or instituted a procedure or action that constituted management of the revision task.
Think-aloud protocols and drafts of compositions provided a trace of students' revision activity. Identification of evaluations and goals by the functions that they served during revision provided a method for monitoring the connection between the process students used in revising and the product (if any) that resulted. Revisions produced were categorized as surface or text-base, with both their accumulative and individual impact on the text assessed. The coding system identified all evaluations and goals, even those that did not result in text changes but that were associated with considerations and attempts. Therefore, all revising behaviors, including emerging skills, were acknowledged.
Results revealed that those students identified as better writers were not better revisors in terms of using evaluations or goals in a manner that resulted in the production of more sophisticated or more effective revisions. Students identified as low to high level writers all experienced various revision difficulties, as reflected by the absence of specific types of evaluations and/or goals that could have facilitated revision, yet were not used. Terminal revising was the common approach and involved reviewing a textual area only once, and setting a limited number of evaluations and goals to address a perceived problem. However, a sub-group of students who were identified as poorer writers did use an iterative revising strategy, which resulted in improved text quality. This strategy involved successive reviews of the text, resulting in the implementation of related multiple evaluations and goals addressing one textual area.
Educators can consider the revising strategies (i.e., terminal and iterative revising) and operations (i.e., functional evaluations and goals) specifically identified in this research to assess how students' revise and to determine what strategies and operations need to be encouraged to foster absent or underdeveloped revision skills. Collaborative student and teacher interactions designed to encourage the utilization of these specific strategies and operations have the potential to lead to more effective revising.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I examine the influence of institutional control on three teachers' and twelve linguistically and culturally diverse childrens' perceptions and constructions of literacy meaning making in English and French in two grade six English and in two grade six French classrooms in the province of Quebec. The children in this study represent a cultural and linguistic mosaic of new arrivals, second-generation immigrant and native Montreal families that include Cambodian, East Indian, French, Italian, Lebanese and Portuguese families. Similarly, the three teachers come from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds that include a native Montreal anglophone, an immigrant from Egypt who is fluent in Arabic, English and French, and a second-generation Italian Quebecer who is fluent in Italian, English and French. The diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the participants add a further dimension to the research project, that is, an understanding of the dialogic encounters between multilingual children and teachers during literacy events in two languages and two classroom contexts.
I draw from Halliday's (1978, 1985) social theory of language use, Bakhtin's (1981, 1984) dialogical theory of discourse and Vygotsky's (1978, 1981, 1986) socio-cultural theory of language and learning to provide a theoretical lens for viewing the childrens' appropriation of literacy meaning making practices. I audiotaped, transcribed and interpreted the literacy events, teachers' discourse and discursive practices and the childrens' literate actions and artifacts for emerging patterns. In addition, interviews were transcribed, coded for emerging patterns and interpreted as socially negotiated texts.
The findings led me to four major conclusions. First, while institutional controls such as textbooks, programs, evaluation, and teacher beliefs about literacy continue to maintain power of literacy meaning making practices in these four classroom contexts, the reconstruction and negotiation of this power varies across the classroom contexts and amongst the teachers and children. Second, the teachers' discourse and discursive practices, as well as, situational complexities such as the intersections of cultures, communities, classrooms and languages shape the childrens' literacy perceptions, interpretations and constructions in English and French within and across the classroom contexts. Third, teaching practices for literacy meaning making are neither solely analytical or experiential nor are they solely explicit or implicit. The three teachers' literacy practices appear to be more along a continuum than a dichotomy, that is, they appear to be local, strategic and contexts-related. Fourth, the recognition of a plurality of literacies suggest that childrens' cultural stances and viewpoints need to be considered, as well as, the kinds of literacy experiences they are and are not being asked to engage in their English and French classrooms.

Abstract:
The University of Arizona Composition Program has demonstrated that computers can be integrated successfully into composition instruction. Administrators and instructors are preparing to offer students in second-semester Freshman Composition (English 102) a computer-integrated course of instruction as the equipment and facilities become available. Chapter I relates how current research shows that computers offer support to current theories in composition and that they can be utilized in all the various processes involved with producing university writing. It explores the problems program directors and university administrators face in providing computer technology to undergraduates in writing courses. Chapter II compares the reactions of Southern Arizona Writing Project teacher-participants with freshman students in a pilot section of English 102 at the University of Arizona and with comparable undergraduates at other universities as they learn to use word processors as a tool for writing. Some differences between the older SAWP participants and the undergraduates were observed, especially a greater computer anxiety and a greater of urgency to learn about computers. The SAWP participants had less time to become proficient computer writers than did the freshmen. All these factors probably contributed to their lower success rate as computer writers. Nevertheless, a large majority of all ages of computer writers recognize the benefits of using word processors for writing and even those SAWP participants who made only limited progress expressed a sense of satisfaction at having mastered the machine. Chapter III describes ways that computer writing and strategies of collaborative learning and peer review were adapted to the syllabus of English 102 in a pilot class at the University of Arizona. Students reacted favorably to both computers and to the teaching strategies. However, the vision of total computer integration resulting in a paper-free writing course cannot be achieved without either restructuring the syllabus or acquiring substantially improved computer facilities, especially through networked workstations and computerized classrooms.

Abstract:
Almost fourty-five years ago, Joseph Kerman proposed the notion of getting out of analysis, in fact a strategy through criticism to broaden its formalist parameters (Kerman, 1980). Kerman’s argument was flawed in many respects as Agawu pointed out; analysis was necessary in his view to teach “undergraduate music theory” and “basic musical literacy,” (Agawu, 2004: 269) something Kerman would not have denied. Yet these debates, and their continuation (Horton 2020; Cavett et al. 2023) have missed something more fundamental, especially as ideological ivory towers and territories needed protection. Over the last fourty years the rise of theory courses, has led to a schism between theory as a discipline and theory as a necessary precursor to practice (for learning repertoire, improvisation and composition); this is till prevalent in Universities and conservatoires today. This issue has not been helped by the interdisciplinarity of musicology, by the concomitant continual expansion of the curriculum, and the move away in many university departments from study of ‘the dots’ to other equally-valid forms of engagement with music. Part of this separation results from an educational ideal that differentiation is necessary before integration, something that the somatic thinker Mosche Feldenkrais advocated, but the ‘integration’ element, has more often been left to chance. This study seeks to make a pedagogical synthesis between theory improvisation and composition, allowing the teacher and student to move freely between these areas, and the student to develop their own sense of autonomy. Artistic research is premised on knowing something, on having some ‘petrol in the tank’, and especially on the ability to make aesthetic choices. This paper develops a critical and reflexive method to do begin this task. It begins by presenting a creative rethinking of species counterpoint, a foundation for thinking in Schenkerian analysis (Forte and Gilbert, 1983, also played out through Kennan 1987, Schubert 2003, Davidian 2015, and Denisch 2017) through Bach’s Goldberg Variations (1741). This develops a resource for pedagogy and practice through teaching musical techniques of composition. I present a layered-cake of musical lines against the figured bass of the theme (moving from semibreves to quavers) as an exercise that inculcates various aspects of var. 1 of the ‘Goldbergs’, and then I explore the codes and ramifications of this that allow both historical sensitivity and creative development. This contextualized exercise provides a stepping-stone to a discussion of Variation 1 (prefigured in my species example), and the development of complete variations beginning with a given “invention” (Dreyfus 1997), and then moving to the composition of new ideas. I suggest how these exercises can be used for teaching improvisation and show how this invaluable connection can be developed through other models (‘la folia’ for example). This model of thinking is historically connected to partimenti (Gjerdingen 2010, 2020), and, following Feldenkrais’s thinking (Sholl 2019, 2021), I provide different solutions to the same exercises. This strategy attempts to promote an “adaptive flexibility” (Thelen and Smith 2004) in which students can enactively and organically learn musical and technical fluency, while also developing their creativity and autonomy.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter discusses ways to study sonic design from the perspective of musical performances with Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs). We first review the specificities of DMIs in terms of their unique affordances and limitations and comment on instrument availability, longevity, and stability issues, which impact the use of DMIs in musical practice. We then focus on the Karlax, a commercial device used in several musical performances for over a decade. We present an analysis of excerpts from three performances of D. Andrew Stewart’s piece Ritual for solo Karlax, discussing the variability of performers’ gestures and the musical choices made. We conclude by suggesting practice exercises to develop performance techniques with the Karlax and discussing musical composition and performance issues with DMIs.

Abstract:
Objective: Getting back to regular physical activity soon after completing the treatment for breast cancer may be a challenge for most women. To assess the impact of physical exercise on physical fitness and body composition in women who have completed breast cancer treatment, we designed a personalized program of physical exercises, considering their individual basal physical activity levels. Methods: The prospective study included 107 women aged 18–60 years shortly after curative treatment for localized breast cancer. All participants were evaluated for cardiovascular morbidities, body composition, and exercise performance. After careful physical evaluation by a personal physical trainer, each woman was individually oriented on how to perform each exercise correctly and follow the program of nonsupervised exercises on their own at home, either indoor or outdoor. Women were motivated to adhere to personalized aerobic exercises, localized muscular strength/resistance, and flexibility exercises, considering individual capabilities and limitations. Evaluations including body composition, VO2max, and localized muscle resistance were performed preintervention (basal) and after 6 and 9 months of intervention. Results: Among all, 25.23% and 44.85% were fat or overweight, respectively, at the study entrance, and 21.49% reported doing physical exercise regularly; 78 women adhered to the training program (72.8%), and 29 chose not to adhere (27.2%). After 9 months of regular and individualized intervention, adherent women showed significantly better results in all variables of body composition and physical fitness: body mass (-4.38±3.67 kg; p0.05), as well as it was not influenced by breast cancer characteristics (e.g., histology, stage, and molecular subtypes) or treatment (e.g., mastectomy, axillary surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy) (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study reinforces that women in follow-up after breast cancer, regardless of body fatness or fitness, can adopt lifestyle measures to prevent a recurrence, and medical societies should include recommendations to promote physical activity early during surveillance.

Abstract:
Introduction: Much has been discussed about benefits of physical exercise in women who have ended breast cancer treatment, which includes not only the improvement of their quality of life but also a remarkable decreased risk of recurrence. To achieve these benefits, it is important that the parameters for prescribing and monitoring physical activity for this population are well defined, as well as the evaluation of factors that may interfere with the results and the adherence to physical exercises. Objectives: To assess the impact of physical exercise on physical fitness and body composition in women who have ended breast cancer curative treatment and to evaluate the impact of physical exercise on women with binge eating disorder. Methods: This prospective study included 107 women between 18 and 60 years of age shortly after the end of their curative treatment for breast cancer (surgery and/or chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy). The participants, after signing the informed consent form, were motivated to do aerobic exercises, localized muscular strength/resistance, and flexibility exercises. Intervention consisted of sets of physical exercises prescribed to all participants by a physical educator in progressive intensities and volumes over the months, according to their adaptive responses, considering individual capabilities and limitations. All participants were evaluated at entrance for cardiovascular morbidities and oriented how to exercise by their own at their homes. Evaluations including body composition, VO2max, and localized muscle resistance were performed at pre-intervention (basal), after 6 and 9 months of intervention. Results: A total of 78 (72.8%) women adhered to the training program, and 29 (27.2%) chose not to adhere. After 9 months of regular and individualized intervention, adherent women showed significantly better results in all variables of body composition and physical fitness: body mass (-4.38±3.67 kg; p0.05), as well as it was not influenced by breast cancer characteristics (e.g., histology, stage, and molecular subtypes) or treatment (i.e., mastectomy, axillary surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy; p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that individualized programs of self-training sets of physical exercises, remotely guided by a physical education professional, could improve the body composition and physical fitness of women in surveillance after breast cancer, regardless of the history of breast cancer or treatment, showing that it is possible to reduce risk factors associated with breast cancer recurrence and to contribute to a better quality of life for these women.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The main task of the cod of points in artistic gymnastics - men is to provide objective means for evaluating men’s gymnastics exercises at all levels - at regional, national and international competitions, to ensure the identification of the best gymnasts in each competition, to guide coaches and gymnasts in creating their competitive exercises. The aim of this study is to analyze the changes in the cod of points in artistic gymnastics - men / 2020 - 2024 /, and to establish their influence on the composition of the competitive exercise of the floor exercise. Exercises were chosen at random performed randomly by elite gymnasts who participated in international championships in 2021 and 2022, on which diagrams have been prepared in order to establish the difference in the start value of their exercises in the respective competitions. In the research, we used the following methods: video analysis, expert evaluation, and pedagogical observation. Every four years, cod of points in artistic gymnastics – men undergo changes aimed at reducing the subjectivity of the judges in the evaluation of competitors, more correct and accurate recording of the exercises. We believe that the obtained results will help the specialists dealing with artistic gymnastics in compiling the competitive combinations of floor exercises.

Abstract:
The pivotal role played by computers in acquiring, storing, and processing financial information requires that accountants, and therefore accounting students, have a thorough understanding of the underlying principles of data composition and data structures. In addition, in order to facilitate the deep learning that will sustain these students past the point-and-click mechanics of the software dujour, it is important that a pedagogical strategy such as problem-based learning be used in the classroom, especially during the early learning phases of database courses. This presentation will provide some specific examples of classroom exercises designed to incorporate the student’s current knowledge of everyday business situations with higher order concepts of data models and their impact on managerial information. The presentation will first discuss the current state of Accounting Information Systems curricular, the concepts of problem-based learning, and examples of classroom exercises to teach database concepts to accounting students.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Rhythmic gymnastics, like other sports disciplines called “artistic”, is continuously developing in a sports-technical sense. Gymnastics varieties, such as “dance gymnastics”, “rhythmical gymnastics”, “expressive gymnastics”, and “plastic and stage expression gymnastics” have lost their individuality but different elements of their means of expression find their place in the requirements for composition. The efforts of the specialists in this sport are aimed at preserving the identity of this sports discipline, namely, using various musical accompaniments and a wide range of dance movements combined with complex exercises. The aim of the research was to trace the development of the difficulty in routines and a retrospect of the main indicators for making competitive routines for the period 1963-2021 was made with the use of a theoretical and synthesis method. The evaluation of dance elements and complex exercises in competitive programs of gymnasts was in the very first Code of Rules known. There are three different components – difficulty of the exercises, general impression, and accuracy of execution. The general changes in the difficulty of the exercises can be clearly seen if we divide the Codes of Rules into the following periods: 1) 1963-1971, 2) 1976-1984, 3) 1997-2005, and 4) 2009-2021. The changes are due to two major factors: - objective – perfection of the training process, emergence of new exercises, gymnasts’ exclusive motor abilities; choreographs, musicians, dancer’ participation in gymnasts’ preparation; - subjective – creation and modification of the rules by members of rhythmic gymnastics technical committee who are representatives of different schools and cultures, with different concepts about the development of the future image of this sport. The retrospect of the requirements in the competitive rules shows that the greatest transformation of rhythmic gymnastics is in its turning into a complex sport.

Abstract:
Purpose: Breast cancer patients are at increased risk of developing comorbidities such as lymphedema, sarcopenia, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease after breast cancer treatment. These complications contribute to a decrease in quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength. Regular and long-term physical activity is an effective non-pharmacological strategy that can improve physical, psychological and social outcomes. The aim of our research was to evaluate the effect of various modes of an exercise intervention on physical performance, body composition, depression and autonomic nervous system in breast cancer survivors. Methods: 16 women after surgery with hormonal treatment enter the research. Thirteen of them completed the controlled, quasi-experimental study (54 ± 9 yrs, 164cm ± 6cm, 72 ± 12kg) and were divided into 3 groups according to their place of living: trained under supervision (n=5) (SUPERV), trained at home without supervision by videos (n=7) (HOME) and with no prescribed physical activity (n=4) (CON). Exercise intervention lasted 3 months and comprised of 60 min training units 3 × week (aerobic with resistant exercise in a 2 : 1 mode combined with regular weekly yoga and breathing exercises). The exercise intensity was set individually at 65–75% of HRR based on spiroergometry and was continuously controlled by heart rate monitors. The same principles applied to the HOME group, which, in addition to heart rate monitors, recorded frequency, length, HRmax, HRavg, and Borg scale of intensity perception. VO2max, BMI, fat mass, depression level (Beck’s depression inventory) and the power of the autonomic nervous system (total power and sympatho-vagal balance) were analyzed. For data evaluation we used descriptive statistics and Cohens d effect size. Results: 3 women dropped out of research because of medical reason. In all groups VO2max values increased. The largest increase in VO2max values was in SUPERV group by 36%, in HOME group by 20% and in CON group by 2%. Body weight decreased for groups SUPERV (˗1.2 kg) and CON (-0.1kg), for HOME group there was an increase (+0.2 kg). Body mass index decreased for SUPERV group (-0.4), for HOME and CON it increased (both +0.1). Total power decreased in SUPERV (-0.6) and HOME group (-0.2), in CON has not changed. The same results were achieved by the sympatho-vagal balance, only the CON group increased. Values from Beck’s depression inventory decreased for all groups, most for CON group. Conclusion: A 3-months of supervised and controlled exercise had a significant effect on physical fitness and body composition in comparison with non-supervised home-based physical intervention. Our results indicate that it is strongly advisable to apply a supervised exercise program to induce positive physiological changes in breast cancer survivors as part of aftercare.

Abstract:
Topicality of research is indicated by importance of somatic health level assessment of military personnel that is a basement for fulfilling military tactical tasks and developing future military career. Physical endurance capacities develop during military training and have impact to the body composition parameters, health capacity level. Medical specialists carried out the assessment of health capacity of military personnel annually. The aim of the study is to evaluate the somatic health and its components in military personnel group that includes cadets from 1st till 5th study year in National Defence Academy of Latvia. The evaluation of somatic health level carried out according H.L. Apanasenko methodology that is a complex approach taking in count anthropometric parameters, physiological measurements, and tests` results in standard physical exercises. The statistical methods were used for analysis of data in SPSS version 20. There are fixed statistically significant correlation between somatic health level and anthropometric parameters (body mass, body mass index value) as well physiological parameters (systolic blood pressure value, hand muscle force, pulmonary vital capacity). The significance of the results is that the level of somatic health level connects to the parameters of body composition and functional parameters. Physical endurance capacities are based on somatic health level assessment, individuals with higher body mass index level, with higher blood pressure parameters, with lower vital index value as well with, longer restoring interval after standard physical exercise had lower somatic health level value. The changes of somatic health level in study group showed the impact of military training duration that important for future military career.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract PVT samples collected by wireline formation testers in wells drilled with Oil Based Mud or Synthetic Based Mud (OBM/SBM) can suffer from contamination due to the base oil in the drilling fluid. This is particularly a problem for lean gas condensate reservoir fluids. This study focused on improving decontaminated compositions by adjusting the subtraction factor for each OBM/SBM component. To demonstrate the concept, a series of static condition laboratory PVT tests were performed using methane only and methane plus CO2 together with an SBM to determine what quantity of each component from the SBM vaporizes into the synthetic reservoir fluid. This was done by adding an excess volume of SBM to a PVT cell with pure methane and establishing equilibrium in order to saturate the fluid at reservoir sampling conditions, and then repeating with addition of 10 mol% CO2 to the gas stream. The subsequent composition was then analyzed to determine what quantity of each component from the base oil vaporized into the reservoir fluid. Correction methods exist for compositional analyses that involve mathematical subtraction of the base oil contamination from measured compositions. These are spreadsheet exercises, since physically cleaning the samples any more than that achieved already during the sampling process itself is not possible. These correction methods assume either a logarithmic1 or gamma2 distribution to correct the C7+ fraction of the reservoir fluid. During this process it is often noted that the OBM components do not vaporize equally into the reservoir fluid. We demonstrate through analyses that lighter hydrocarbon components from the OBM/SBM vaporize more easily than heavier components, and that the relationship correlates to the molecular weight of the OBM/SBM component. A linear subtraction process can therefore be improved with a volatility adjustment to each component, which we demonstrate is a function of the equilibrium ratio (K-value). Nagarajan et al. (2010)3 has previously suggested a K-value based correction method, however the novel approach outlined here is the calculation of the quantities in which base oil components will vaporize, giving a ‘pseudo vapor composition’ of the base oil, and using this stream as the first step in the subtraction process.

Abstract:
“Education´s goal is the ability to master life with self-creative forces, in order to achieve something good and beautiful.” Götze, C. (1898). Das kind als Künstler Projects at Mexican schools of architecture often focus on conventional issues of dimension and function; in a country with the largest number of students in the architectural discipline there is an existing disinterest in the appropriation of knowledge, exploration of complexity, and expression of ideas. Such a disinterest calls for the evolution of architectural education. This research proposes it is possible to manage the creative forces of individuals. A working model composed of distinct components will be generated to stimulate areas related to artistic development. In preparation, essential components of the model have been extracted by analysis from the Bauhaus Preliminary Course developed by Johannes Itten, considering its influence on sequential tutors as well as its moment of historic implementation (1918-1923). The objective is to transform Itten´s pedagogy by means of a systemic design process focusing on the development of creative skills. The first methodological approach has been extracted from three of Itten’s thematic fields, each structured by a set of common elements: principle, objective, common material, exercises, and phases (Fig. 1). The sets are related according to their role in the development of talent as a means to discern and reveal artistic character: - BEING UNDER CONSTRUCTION: A physical-soul-spiritual unity that incorporates artistic education through exercises for awakening the body and intellectual harmonization (Fig. 1a). - BALANCED COMPOSITION: Refinement of the senses through intuitive analysis of artistic structures and a critical drawing of reality (Fig. 1b). - CONTRAST: The art of objectivity through the study of opposites: feeling-thinking, intuition-intellect, expression-construction (Fig. 1c). A responsible party, acting as structural element, directs the capacities stimulated within the group and materialized by cohesive exercises, guiding students to define an authentic trajectory: - FAMILIARIZATION: Understanding the bases. - EXPERIMENTATION: Articulation of new configurations. - APPROPRIATION: Creation from the unknown. - OPERATION: Execution in real-time. - REDIRECTION: Return to the origin to adjust and resume. By asserting the student is the center of his or her unique working model the implementation of this method in architectural studios allows for the assignment of any creative exercise and is suitable for all levels of investigation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3644

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this report is to compare the risk communication strategies and public health mitigation measures implemented by Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (UK) in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic based on publicly available documents. The report compares the country responses both in relation to one another and to the recommendations and guidance of the World Health Organization where available. The comparative report is an output of Work Package 1 from the research project PAN-FIGHT (Fighting pandemics with enhanced risk communication: Messages, compliance and vulnerability during the COVID-19 outbreak), which is financially supported by the Norwegian Research Council's extraordinary programme for corona research. PAN-FIGHT adopts a comparative approach which follows a “most different systems” variation as a logic of comparison guiding the research (Przeworski & Teune, 1970). The countries in this study include two EU member States (Sweden, Germany), one which was engaged in an exit process from the EU membership (the UK), and two non-European Union states, but both members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA): Norway and Switzerland. Furthermore, Germany and Switzerland govern by the Continental European Federal administrative model, with a relatively weak central bureaucracy and strong subnational, decentralised institutions. Norway and Sweden adhere to the Scandinavian model—a unitary but fairly decentralised system with power bestowed to the local authorities. The United Kingdom applies the Anglo-Saxon model, characterized by New Public Management (NPM) and decentralised managerial practices (Einhorn & Logue, 2003; Kuhlmann & Wollmann, 2014; Petridou et al., 2019). In total, PAN-FIGHT is comprised of 5 Work Packages (WPs), which are research-, recommendation-, and practice-oriented. The WPs seek to respond to the following research questions and accomplish the following: WP1: What are the characteristics of governmental and public health authorities’ risk communication strategies in five European countries, both in comparison to each other and in relation to the official strategies proposed by WHO? WP2: To what extent and how does the general public’s understanding, induced by national risk communication, vary across five countries, in relation to factors such as social capital, age, gender, socio-economic status and household composition? WP3: Based on data generated in WP1 and WP2, what is the significance of being male or female in terms of individual susceptibility to risk communication and subsequent vulnerability during the COVID-19 outbreak? WP4: Based on insight and knowledge generated in WPs 1 and 2, what recommendations can we offer national and local governments and health institutions on enhancing their risk communication strategies to curb pandemic outbreaks? WP5: Enhance health risk communication strategies across five European countries based upon the knowledge and recommendations generated by WPs 1-4. Pre-pandemic preparedness characteristics All five countries had pandemic plans developed prior to 2020, which generally were specific to influenza pandemics but not to coronaviruses. All plans had been updated following the H1N1 pandemic (2009-2010). During the SARS (2003) and MERS (2012) outbreaks, both of which are coronaviruses, all five countries experienced few cases, with notably smaller impacts than the H1N1 epidemic (2009-2010). The UK had conducted several exercises (Exercise Cygnet in 2016, Exercise Cygnus in 2016, and Exercise Iris in 2018) to check their preparedness plans; the reports from these exercises concluded that there were gaps in preparedness for epidemic outbreaks. Germany also simulated an influenza pandemic exercise in 2007 called LÜKEX 07, to train cross-state and cross-department crisis management (Bundesanstalt Technisches Hilfswerk, 2007). In 2017 within the context of the G20, Germany ran a health emergency simulation exercise with WHO and World Bank representatives to prepare for potential future pandemics (Federal Ministry of Health et al., 2017). Prior to COVID-19, only the UK had expert groups, notably the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), that was tasked with providing advice during emergencies. It had been used in previous emergency events (not exclusively limited to health). In contrast, none of the other countries had a similar expert advisory group in place prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 waves in 2020 All five countries experienced two waves of infection in 2020. The first wave occurred during the first half of the year and peaked after March 2020. The second wave arrived during the final quarter. Norway consistently had the lowest number of SARS-CoV-2 infections per million. Germany’s counts were neither the lowest nor the highest. Sweden, Switzerland and the UK alternated in having the highest numbers per million throughout 2020. Implementation of measures to control the spread of infection In Germany, Switzerland and the UK, health policy is the responsibility of regional states, (Länders, cantons and nations, respectively). However, there was a strong initial centralized response in all five countries to mitigate the spread of infection. Later on, country responses varied in the degree to which they were centralized or decentralized. Risk communication In all countries, a large variety of communication channels were used (press briefings, websites, social media, interviews). Digital communication channels were used extensively. Artificial intelligence was used, for example chatbots and decision support systems. Dashboards were used to provide access to and communicate data.

Abstract:
Original objectives: The long-term goal of the research is to achieve higher protein content in the milk of ruminants by modulating the translational apparatus of the mammary gland genetically, nutritionally, or pharmacologically. The short-term objectives are to obtain a better understanding of 1) the role of amino acids (AA) as regulators of translation in bovine and mouse mammary epithelial cells and 2) the mechanism responsible for the synergistic enhancement of milk-protein mRNA polyadenylation by insulin and prolactin. Background of the topic: In many cell types and tissues, individual AA affect a signaling pathway which parallels the insulin pathway to modulate rates and levels of protein synthesis. Diverse nutritional and hormonal conditions are funneled to mTOR, a multidomain serine/threonine kinase that regulates a number of components in the initiation and elongation stages of translation. The mechanism by which AA signal mTOR is largely unknown. During the current grant period, we have studied the effect of essential AA on mechanisms involved in protein synthesis in differentiated mammary epithelial cells cultured under lactogenic conditions. We also studied lactogenic hormone regulation of milk protein synthesis in differentiated mammary epithelial cells. In the first BARD grant (2000-03), we discovered a novel mechanism for mRNA-specific hormone-regulated translation, namely, that the combination of insulin plus prolactin causes cytoplasmic polyadenylation of milk protein mRNAs, which leads to their efficient translation. In the current BARD grant, we have pursued the signaling pathways of this novel hormone action. Major conclusions/solutions/achievements: The positive and negative signaling from AA to the mTOR pathway, combined with modulation of insulin sensitization, mediates the synthesis rates of total and specific milk proteins in mammary epithelial cells. The current in vitro study revealed cryptic negative effects of Lys, His, and Thr on cellular mechanisms regulating translation initiation and protein synthesis in mammary epithelial cells that could not be detected by conventional in vivo analyses. We also showed that a signaling pathway involving Jak2 and Stat5, previously shown to lead from the prolactin receptor to transcription of milk protein genes, is also used for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of milk protein mRNAs, thereby stabilizing these mRNAs and activating them for translation. Implications: In vivo, plasma AA levels are affected by nutritional and hormonal effects as well as by conditions of exercise and stress. The amplitude in plasma AA levels resembles that applied in the current in vitro study. Thus, by changing plasma AA levels in the epithelial cell microenvironment or by sensitizing the mTOR pathway to their presence, it should be possible to modulate the rate of milk protein synthesis. Furthermore, knowledge that phosphorylation of Stat5 is required for enhanced milk protein synthesis in response to lactogenic opens the possibility for pharmacologic approaches to increase the phosphorylation of Stat5 and, thereby, milk protein production.
