Abstract:

BackgroundGait retraining has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the peak knee adduction moment (pKAM) in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Since medial-compartment loading has been related to both the pKAM and the peak knee flexion moment (pKFM), reducing the pKAM without pondering the changes in pKFM does not ensure a decreased load in the knee. It is unknown whether combining multiple gait parameters is more effective than isolated gait parameter changes in achieving specific kinetic targets for the pKAM and pKFM.ObjectivesTo characterize the individual changes in the pKAM and in the pKFM in patients with medial KOA walking with a combination of varied gait parameters. We hypothesised that the number of people achieving the dual kinetic change (2KC) of decreasing the pKAM of at least 10% without increasing the pKFM through a combined parameter gait changes is higher than the number of people achieving it through a single gait parameter change.MethodsWe recruited medial KOA patients (K-L I-III) had a diagnosis confirmed through x-ray. A motion capture system and floor-embedded force-plates were used to measure the kinetics (pKAM and pKFM) and the spatio-temporal parameters (foot progression angle (FPA), step width (SW), stride length (SL) and walking speed) during gait. Gait retraining method used was an augmented-reality system. Each patient performed 81 trials combining three different amplitudes of PFA, SW and SL. Gait speed was controlled. The gait modifications were toeing-in by 15° or 10° or normal, walking width narrower (0.10m) or wider (0.15m) or normal SW, and/or walking with shorter (0.10 or 0.15m 0.15m) or normal SL. Descriptive statistics was used. The data of 17 patients, mean 52.7 years old (SD 15.9), mean height 172.9cm (12.8) and mean BMI 24.9 Kg/m2(3.2) was compiled for statistical analysis.Results76.5% of the patients achieved the 2KC with at least one of the combination (Figure 1). Changing one gait parameter led to a 2KC in 7 patients and changing a combination of multiple parameters led to a 2KC in 13 patients. Adding a third to a combination of two gait parameters change “only” added one patient to the total number of patients achieving the targeted 2KC. All patients achieving the 2KC with a single modification were also able to achieve it using two combined modifications. All patients achieving the 2KC with a combination of two gait parameters, achieved it too combining modifications in three parameters. 5.9% of patients achieved the 2KC with a combination of three gait parameters only.ConclusionWhen compared to single-parameter changes, gait-retraining through an augmented-reality setting using a combination of multiple gait parameter changes is more likely to achieve the targeted kinetic changes. Future research should assess the percentage of KOA people retaining the 2KC on both the shorter- and the longer-term.References[1]Gerbrands TA, Pisters MF, Vanwanseele B.

Abstract:

The article draws upon Minoan 'foundation deposits', focusing on issues such as typology, content, context and interpretation. As Hunt (2006: 128) points out... «foundation rituals were not isolated cult practices but belonged to a cultic koine that existed throughout the ancient Mediterranean». It seems that ‘foundation’ ceremonies are connected with the “initiation” and “consecration” of a building’s life, usually through “religious” as well as “magical” practices including the ritual burial and integration of sacrificial offerings into the “corps” of the building for its everlasting protection and prosperity

Abstract:

Kristoffer Schmidt: Christian V’s par force hunt in 17th century’s newspapersThe year 2020 marks the 350th anniversary of the foundation by Christian V of the par force hunt (also known as chasse à courre) in Denmark. This type of hunting was a spec-tacular sight, where riders and a pack of hunting dogs, imported from England, would hunt a selected animal (often a stag) through large, artificially adapted hunting areas such as the open landscapes at Jægersborg Dyrehave or the geometrically shaped hunt-ing routes at Gribskov or Store Dyrehave. After a pursuit lasting usually several hours the animal would collapse from fatigue. The king would then finish off the exhausted beast with a hirschfænger – a large dagger – or a spear. Studies of the royal hunt tend to depict the Danish stag hunt as primarily a means for absolute rulers to showcase a symbolic power. It enabled the absolute ruler to exhibit athletic strength, exemplary riding skills and extreme courage, and thus to paint the picture of a heroic ruler.Although participation in these hunts was limited to a small group of royal hunts-men, court members and foreign guests (for example, ambassadors and royalty), news of the king’s hunting adventures were conveyed through contemporaneous, partly state-controlled newspapers such as Anders Bording’s Den Danske Mercurius and Ahasver-us Bartholin’s Mercurius.This article examines how the royal hunt – primarily the stag hunt – was covered in Den Danske Mercurius and later Mercurius. It reveals that reports on the stag hunt seem to have two main purposes. On the one hand, the newspaper reports underscore the assess-ment of the royal hunts as a symbolic manifestation of power, combining a description of the hunting skills of Christian V with a more general depiction of him as the hero-king. On the other hand, the reports also reveal a need of the Danish-Norwegian absolutist regime to justify the King’s numerous hunting adventures. In several instances Bording, in particular, pointed to the fact that the hunt was considered a pastime for the King and the court. Therefore, Bording and Bartholin stressed that this type of pastime did not interfere with the King’s other, more important duties, such as affairs of state. In other words, the picture of the athletic hero-king did not carry more weight than the image of the King as a capable and efficient ruler. Thus, it appears that the stag hunt, despite its public grandeur, also had a recreational and more private purpose, and that Christian V withdrew from his more formal duties to go hunting.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the changing reputation and legacy of John Powell (1882-1963). Powell was a Virginian-born pianist, composer, and ardent Anglo-Saxon supremacist who created musical propaganda to support racial purity and to define the United States as an exclusively Anglo-Saxon nation. Although he once enjoyed international fame, he has largely disappeared from the public consciousness today. In contrast, the legacies of many of Powell’s musical contemporaries, such as Charles Ives and George Gershwin, have remained vigorous. By examining the ways in which the public has perceived and portrayed Powell both during and after his lifetime, this thesis links Powell’s obscurity to a deliberate, public rejection of his Anglo-Saxon supremacist definition of the United States.

Abstract:

This chapter describes how John Roy Lynch decided to measure arms with General James R. Chalmers in 1880 for representative in Congress from the Sixth, or “shoestring,” District. The fact was soon made plain to Lynch, however, that he had on his hands the fight of his life, not only for the election but for the nomination. There were three candidates for the nomination besides himself: Judge E. Jeffords of Issaquena County, General W. F. Fitzgerald of Warren County, and Lynch's personal friend, Captain Thomas W. Hunt of Jefferson County. Captain Hunt was the man that placed Lynch's name in nomination for Congress in 1876. Chiefly through Lynch's efforts and influence, Hunt had been made United States marshal for the southern judicial district of the state, with headquarters at Jackson, the state capital.

Abstract:

Abstract Gregor Mendel, Archibald Garrod, and Francis Galton, the three main characters in the story of medical genetics whose contributions I have described so far, lived in that glorious period when great discoveries could be made by amateur scientists working alone and in their spare time. A priest who discovered the basic principles of heredity while spending his summers breeding peas. A physician with a busy practice and an interest in the chemical composition of urine who applied those principles to human diseases. A gentleman-scholar with a passion for counting who developed statistical techniques for estimating the extent to which heredity contributes to complex human traits. Each of them brilliant. All of them amateurs. Once this foundation was laid the next steps required a new breed of scientists: professionals in universities, with access to students, assistants, and specialized instrum1ents. Among them was another great pioneer, Linus Pauling, once described as “the most brilliantly versatile and productive physical chemist of the [twentieth] century; more than a scientist, a force of nature ”.

Abstract:

Corporate and foundation relations development officers (CFRs) play a vital role in philanthropy and resource development within higher education. Specifically, these leaders focus time building relationships with individuals who represent corporations and foundations that are able contribute to the needs and programs of an academic institution (Clevenger, 2014; Hunt, 2012; Sanzone, 2000; Saul, 2011; Walton & Gasman, 2008). CFRs must be intimately familiar with their own institution, organizational priorities, and key leaders to be able to create and orchestrate touch-points, engagement and volunteer opportunities, and mutually beneficial inter-organizational partnerships. CFRs manage a complex intersection of internal constituents' programs and interests while simultaneously trying to meet aggressive signature philanthropic platforms for companies or foundation programmatic initiatives.

This chapter examines how Norman Vincent Peale’s message of practical Christianity intertwined with his conservative politics during the period 1935–1955. It argues that Peale’s populist religion and conservative politics were mutually reinforcing, whose own postwar bid for acceptance, entitlement, and power coincided with the fullest flowering of Peale’s ministry. The chapter first considers Peale’s Toryism and populism, and more specifically how he first warmed to partisan politics through Prohibition, before discussing his involvement with the National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Government and with a politically partisan group called Spiritual Mobilization, his chairmanship of the Christian Freedom Foundation, and his participation in and eventual withdrawal from Facts Forum, the “educational” organization sponsored by Texas oilman H.

Abstract New and unexpected circumstance has taken place here, which promises to rescue the character of the house from the pantomimic degradation into which it was fast falling. Mr. Macready has performed Richard twice in the course of the week, with the greatest applause. We must confess we went to see him with no sort of expectations at all commensurate with the greatness of the part. We thought him a man of feeling, but little able to give a natural expression to it, and so taking the usual refuge in declamation. He appeared to us one of the best readers of a part we had seen, according to the received notions of good reading; but with the exception of a character now and then bordering on the melodramatic, like Rob Roy’-that was all.

Full text

Abstract:

The equivalent of a heat-seeking missile in chemistry is a ‘nucleophile’, a lover of nuclei. The ‘missile’ in this case is a special sort of molecule which sniffs out not heat but positive electric charge, the charge of a nucleus glinting through depleted regions of electron cloud in a target molecule. A candidate for such a missile is a negatively charged ion, which can be attracted to the partially exposed positive charge of a nucleus in the target. With nucleus-sniffing in mind, you can perhaps appreciate that if it is possible to blow away some of the electron cloud from the region of a particular C atom in the target molecule, then the nucleophile will home in on that atom and perhaps attach to it. By management of the electron clouds and adroit choice of the incoming missile, therefore, it is possible to build where and what we want. You shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that the ‘missile’ doesn’t just fly through the air and smash into a molecule: it jostles past the solvent molecules, which move aside or sometimes block it and turn it back. When thinking about the reactions in this section, think of the target atom in a molecule as glowing with positive charge and the incoming missile, the reagent, as having an abundance of negative charge spread over at least one of its atoms. The target and missile are drawn together through the solvent, and might snap together, in a manner I shall describe, once they are close to one another. A missile’s successful hunt for a target might then result in reaction and the formation of a new compound. How are the target prepared and the missile launched? One procedure is to go the whole electrical hog and prepare a molecule with a full positive charge on the C atom that has been chosen to be the foundation of the new construction, the proposed site of reaction. The whole hog can be achieved by snipping out an atom that initially is attached to the C atom.

Abstract:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development (US EPA ORD) has developed a “Municipal Solid Waste Decision Support Tool”, or MSW-DST, for local government solid waste managers to use for the life cycle evaluation of integrated solid waste management options. The MSW-DST was developed over a five year period (1994–1999) with the assistance of numerous outside contractors and organizations, including the Research Triangle Institute, North Carolina State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Environmental Research and Education Foundation, Franklin Associates and Roy F. Weston. The MSW-DST can be used to quantify and evaluate the following impacts for each integrated solid waste management alternative: • Energy consumption, • Air emissions, • Water pollutant discharges, • Solid Waste disposal impacts. Recently, the MSW-DST was used by the U.S. EPA to identify solid waste management strategies that would help to meet the goal of the EPA’s “Resource Conservation Challenge.” In this effort, ten solid waste management strategies were evaluated for a hypothetical, medium-sized U.S. community, with a population of 750,000 and a waste generation rate of approximately 3.5 pounds per person per day. (Table 1). The assumed waste composition was based on national averages. A peer-reviewed paper on this research was published in 2008 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

Based on the analysis of literature, three categories of theories have been identified in this field: general theories (the theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behavior, the theory of James Rest), decision making models (the model of Ferrell ?i Gresham, Hunt-Vitell theory (or model) of ethics about ethical decision making in general, Person- situation interactionist model, Bommer's ethical decision-making model, the model of Jones) and information technology models (IT ethical model, the model of unethical usage of information technology, the model of ethical behaviour in computer use, digital piracy attitude model, hypothetical and actual information security compliance models). The general theories have underpinned the later developed models, which have also begun to expand on IT-based models as well. The theory of reasoned action and The theory of planned behavior are the basis for the overwhelming majority of studies on the relationship between attitude, intention and unethical versus ethical behavior. Along with these models, the theories on the stages of moral development can also be considered as they have underpinned the construction of decision models (such as the interactive model) or have provided the foundation for studies related to teachers level of moral reasoning. The result of the analysis of these models will lead to the elaboration of a comprehensive model of factors influencing the attitudes of higher education teachers towards the unethical use of information technology.

Abstract:

What is a ‘science superpower’? Sarah Main and Graeme Reid explore reactions to the term from stakeholders across the UK and examine alternative versions of a future in which ‘science superpower’ status is achieved. Their report is published today by the Foundation for Science and Technology. Jeremy Hunt, Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson, George Freeman and other senior figures in government use the phrase ‘science superpower’ as a headline for ambitious, visionary science policy. It is a potent phrase but open to varied interpretation. By exploring scenarios in which the UK has achieved ‘science superpower’ status by different means, the authors stimulate debate about the desired characteristics of this status and highlight the choices facing policy-makers on the path to become a more research-intensive UK.
