Abstract:

Purpose:To examine the effects of a low-volume repeated-power-ability (RPA) training program on repeated-sprint and changeof-direction (COD) ability and functional jumping performance.Methods:Twenty-two male elite young basketball players (age 16.2 ± 1.2 y, height 190.0 ± 10.0 cm, body mass 82.9 ± 10.1 kg) were randomly assigned either to an RPA-training group (n = 11) or a control group (n = 11). RPA training consisted of leg-press exercise, twice a week for 6 wk, of 1 or 2 blocks of 5 sets × 5 repetitions with 20 s of passive recovery between sets and 3 min between blocks with the load that maximized power output. Before and after training, performance was assessed by a repeated-sprint-ability (RSA) test, a repeated-COD-ability test, a hop for distance, and a drop jump followed by tests of a double unilateral hop with the right and left legs.Results:Within-group and between-groups differences showed substantial improvements in slowest (RSAs) and mean time (RSAm) on RSA; best, slowest and mean time on repeated-COD ability; and unilateral right and left hop in the RPA group in comparison with control. While best time on RSA showed no improvement in any group, there was a large relationship (r = .68, 90% CI .43;.84) between the relative decrement in RSAm and RSAs, suggesting better sprint maintenance with RPA training. The relative improvements in best and mean repeated-COD ability were very largely correlated (r = .89, 90% CI .77;.94).Conclusions:Six weeks of low-volume (4–14 min/wk) RPA training improved several physical-fitness tests in basketball players.

Abstract:

AbstractThe present study aimed to examine the reliability, usefulness, responsiveness, age-related differences and construct validity of a novel decision-making RSA test (RSA-RANDOM test) in young soccer players. Twenty-five young male soccer players performed the RSA-RANDOM test on 2 occasions separated by 5–7 days to assess test-retest reliability and determine a priori usefulness. Furthermore, the same players executed the RSA-RANDOM test 4 times throughout the season to analyse responsiveness. Forty-five players (U–13 to U–17) were evaluated in such test to examine age-related differences. Finally, 9 players were used to determine the construct validity of the test. Reliability scores showed a high intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC=0.88 to 0.90) and low coefficient of variation (CV=1.0–1.2%). The responsiveness of the RSA-RANDOM test was good, as the typical short- (1.2–1.9%), mid- (1.4–2.4%) and long-term (2.3–3.2%) changes in RSA-RANDOM performance were higher than the CV. Age-related differences analysis showed better RSA-RANDOM performance as age increased in young soccer players. Low (r=−0.50) to moderate (r=−0.75) relationships were found between the RSA-RANDOM test variables (RSA best and mean times) with high-intensity and total distance covered, respectively. A novel decision-making RSA test (RSA-RANDOM) has shown to be reliable and valid in young soccer players.

Abstract:

Social and personality psychologists are often interested in the extent to which similarity, agreement, or matching matters. The current article describes response surface analysis (RSA), an approach designed to answer questions about how (mis)matching predictors relate to outcomes while avoiding many of the statistical limitations of alternative, often-used approaches. We explain how RSA provides compressive and often more valid answers to questions about (mis)matching predictors than traditional approaches provide, outline steps on how to use RSA (including modifiable syntax), and demonstrate how to interpret RSA output with an example. To bolster our argument that RSA overcomes many limitations of traditional approaches (i.e., incomplete or misleading inferences), we compare results from four popular approaches (i.e., difference scores, residuals, moderated regression, and the truth and bias model) to those obtained from RSA. We discuss specific applications of RSA to social and personality psychology research.

Abstract:

Background: Rugby league involves repeated, complex, change-of-direction movements, although there are no test protocols that specifically assesses these physical fitness profiles. Thus, the current study examined the convergent validity and reliability of a repeated Illinois Agility (RIA) protocol in adolescent Rugby League players. Methods: Twenty-two junior Rugby League players completed 4 sessions with each separated by 7 days. Initially, physical fitness characteristics at baseline (i.e., multi-stage fitness, countermovement jump, 30-m sprint, single-effort agility and repeated sprint ability [RSA]) were assessed. The second session involved a familiarisation of RIA and repeated T-agility test (RTT) protocols. During the third and fourth sessions, participants completed the RIA and RTT protocols in a randomised, counterbalanced design to examine the validity and test-retest reliability of these protocols. Results: For convergent validity, significant correlations were identified between RIA and RTT performances (r= >0.80; p<0.05). For contributors to RIA performance, significant correlations were identified between all baseline fitness characteristics and RIA (r = >0.71; p < 0.05). Reliability of the RIA protocol was near perfect with excellent intra-class correlation coefficient (0.87-0.97), good ratio limits of agreement (×/÷ 1.05-1.06) and low coefficient of variations (1.77-1.97%). Conclusions: The current study has demonstrated the RIA to be a simple, valid and reliable field test that can provide coaches with information about their athlete’s ability to sustain high intensity, multi-directional running efforts.

Abstract:

An assay was developed to detect the potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), a dangerous plant pathogen that causes crop damage resulting in economic losses in the potato agriculture sector. The assay was based on the reverse transcription and recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) of PSTVd RNA coupled with amplicon detection via lateral flow assay (LFA). Primers labeled with fluorescein and biotin were designed for RT-RPA for effective recognition of the loop regions in the high-structured circular RNA of PSTVd. The labeled DNA amplicon was detected using lateral flow test strips consisting of a conjugate of gold nanoparticles with antibodies specific to fluorescein and streptavidin in the test zone. The RT-RPA-LFA detected 106 copies of in vitro transcribed PSTVd RNA in reaction or up to 1:107 diluted extracts of infected plant leaves. The assay took 30 min, including the RT-RPA stage and the LFA stage. The testing of healthy and infected potato samples showed full concordance between the developed RT-RPA-LFA and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and the commercial kit. The obtained results proved the feasibility of using the developed assay to detect PSTVd from a natural source.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the performance and security of the RSA algorithm in combination with the key generation method of enhanced and secured RSA key generation scheme (ESRKGS). ESRKGS is an improvement of the RSA improvisation by adding four prime numbers in the property embedded in key generation. This method was applied to instant messaging using TCP sockets. The ESRKGS+RSA algorithm was designed using standard RSA development by modified the private and public key pairs. Thus, the modification was expected to make it more challenging to factorize a large number n into prime numbers. The ESRKGS+RSA method required 10.437 ms faster than the improvised RSA that uses the same four prime numbers in conducting key generation processes at 1024-bit prime number. It also applies to the encryption and decryption process. In the security testing using Fermat Factorization on a 32-bit key, no prime number factor was found. The test was processed for 15 hours until the test computer resource runs out.

Abstract:

System-on-Chip (SoC) is an integration of electronic components and billions of transistors. Defects due to the base material is caused during the manufacturing of components. To overcome these issues testing of chips is necessary but total cost increases because of increasing test time. The main issues to be considered during testing of SoC are the time taken for testing and accessibility of core. Effective test scheduling should be done to minimize testing time. In this paper, an effective test scheduling mechanism to minimize testing time is proposed. The test time reduction causes test cost reduction. The Enhanced Firefly algorithm is used in this paper to minimize test time. Enhanced Firefly algorithm gives a better result than Ant colony and Firefly algorithms in terms of test time reduction thereby reduction test cost takes place.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of a field and a laboratory test of repeated sprint ability (RSA). Twelve adolescent boys (15.3 ± 0.3 years) completed five trials of both a field RSA test (7 × 30 m sprints) and a laboratory RSA test (7 × 5 s sprints) performed on a nonmotorized treadmill. Mean coefficients of variation (CV) calculated across all trials were < 2.7% for field sprint times, and, in the laboratory, < 2.9% for velocity and < 8.4% for power output. Fatigue indices (FI) calculated from data in both environments exhibited mean CVs > 23%. The inconsistency in the FIs resulted from the mathematical procedures used in the FI calculation methods. Based on the reliability scores, it was concluded that results obtained from measured performance variables in the field and laboratory, and not calculated FIs, should be used to report RSA.

Abstract:

Abstract. Despite the burgeoning use of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), heart period (HP), and blood pressure (BP) to study individual differences in autonomic regulatory processes in young adults, few studies have examined the short-term reliability of such autonomic measures in emerging adulthood. If resting autonomic measures indeed reflect “trait-like” individual differences, they should have acceptable levels of test-retest reliability. We examined the 1-month test-retest reliability of resting measures of RSA as well as HP, systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in a sample of 41 healthy young adults. Test-retest reliability of all four measures was good-to-excellent across the 1-month period. However, uncontrolled mean RSA declined from Time 1 to Time 2, suggesting that while individual differences in RSA were stable, mean RSA appeared to be sensitive to condition effects. Even with random variation, all of these measures were stable across one month, demonstrating acceptable short-term test-retest reliability in emerging adulthood.

Abstract:

Introduction: Aging is a progressive process of decrease in organs functions and capacity, including the skin. Photoaging is extrinsic aging mainly occur due to ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Methods: This study is a clinical trial research design with one group pre-post test. All subjects who were exposed to UV for approximately 3-4 hours. All subjects signed an informed consent and were interviewed accordingly. Photoaging was diagnosed clinically by three dermatologists according to Glogau type II classification such as dynamic wrinkles, palpable keratosis, visible lentigo senilis, and smiley line. SOD 250 IU was given to all subjects twice daily for 60 days. Laboratory examinations such as TAS, TEWL, and sebum concentration were done pre and post-intervention. Results: A total of 25 subjects, Fitzpatrick skin type 4 were included in this study. There were 14 males and 11 females with 20 subjects age 30-40 years old and 5 subjects age 25-29 years old. Fourteen (56%) out of 18 subjects from low TAS group have normal TAS post-treatment with SOD. McNemar test showed a significant increase in TAS value pre and post-treatment with SOD (p<0.05). TEWL measurement on cheek showed 9 out of 10 subjects from the strained group have normal TEWL post-treatment, while all 3 subjects from the critical group have normal TEWL value. Measurement on the forehead showed 7 subjects from the strained group have a normal TEWL. Sebumeter on the forehead showed 17 subjects from dry skin group 14 (56%) subjects have normal skin, 1 (4%) subject becomes oily, and 2 subjects remains dry post-treatment with SOD for 60 days. All subjects with dry skin on U zone become normal skin post-treatment. Conclusion: SOD significantly increased TAS value, decreased TEWL, and improvement of skin dryness post-treatment with SOD for 60 days.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to describe the time course (within 2 h post-exercise) of heart rate variability (HRV) recovery following a traditional repeated sprint ability (RSA) test applied to youth soccer players. Twenty-four young soccer players (18.4 ± 0.5 years) undertook the following assessments: (1) 10 min rest in the seated position for HRV assessment; (2) a repeated sprint ability (RSA) test; (3) passive recovery in the seated position for 10 min, immediately after finishing the RSA test and 1 h and 2 h post-RSA test. During the HRV measurements (using the natural log of root mean square difference of successive normal RR intervals—lnRMSSD) the participants were instructed to assume a comfortable sitting position, remaining awake and breathing spontaneously for 10 min. Magnitude-based inference was used in the analyses. After the RSA test, the post-1 h measure was almost certainly lower than the resting measure, but almost certainly higher than the lnRMSSD measured post-RSA test. The lnRMSSD post-2 h was likely lower than the resting lnRMSSD and very likely higher than post-1 h. In conclusion, lnRMSSD is severely depressed after performing an RSA test, and reactivation is incomplete after 2 h of passive recovery. This result should be considered by practitioners when applying successive training sessions within intervals shorter than 2 h.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the relationships between repeated sprint ability (RSA) and anthropometric measures as well as fitness qualities in soccer players. Twenty-one professional soccer players performed several anthropometric and physical tests including countermovement vertical jumps (CMJs), a straight-line 30 m sprint (T30), an RSA test (6 x 20 + 20 m with 20 s recovery), a progressive isoinertial loading test in a full squat, a Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level-1 (YYIRT-1) and a 20 m shuttle run test (20mSRT). The mean (RSAmean), the fastest (RSAbest), each single sprint time, and the percentage in a sprint decrease (%Dec) in the RSA test were calculated. RSAbest correlated significantly with RSAmean (r = .82) and with all single sprints (p < 0.05), showing a downward trend as the number of sprints performed increased. No significant relationship was observed between the %Dec and RSA performance. CMJs and the T30 also showed a correlation with RSA performance, whereas lower limb strength did not show any relationship with RSA performance. RSAmean showed significant (p < 0.05) relationships with body mass (r = .44), adiposity (r = .59) and the YYIRT-1 (r = -.62), increasing as the number of repeated sprints increased. The 20mSRT showed minimal relationships with RSA performance. In conclusion, maximal sprint capacity seems to be relevant for the RSA performance, mainly in the first sprints. However, high intermittent endurance capacity and low adiposity might help enhance the RSA performance when increasing the number of repeated sprints.

Abstract:

RNA-seq using the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) approach is a common technology to analyze large-scale RNA transcript data for gene expression studies. However, an appropriate bioinformatics tool is needed to analyze a large amount of transcriptomes data from RNA-seq experiment. The aim of this study was to construct a system that can be easily applied to analyze RNA-seq data. RNA-seq analysis tool as SMART-RDA was constructed in this study. It is a computational workflow based on Galaxy framework to be used for analyzing RNA-seq raw data into gene expression information. This workflow was adapted from a well-known Tuxedo Protocol for RNA-seq analysis with some modifications. Expression value from each transcriptome was quantitatively stated as Fragments Per Kilobase of exon per Million fragments (FPKM). RNA-seq data of sterile and fertile oil palm (Pisifera) pollens derived from Sequence Read Archive (SRA) NCBI were used to test this workflow in local facility Galaxy server. The results showed that differentially gene expression in pollens might be responsible for sterile and fertile characteristics in palm oil Pisifera.Keywords: FPKM; Galaxy workflow; Gene expression; RNA sequencing.

Abstract:

Rock and soil aggregate (RSA) is a special geo-material and composed of hard matrix like gravel, cobble, pebble and soft matrix of soil. Discontinuity and heterogeneity are the main characteristics of RSA and its mechanical response is mainly controlled by its complex internal structure. The rock fragments play very important role in the mechanical performances under the condition of uniaxial compression and the rock content (the volume percent of rock fragments in RSA) of RSA is the focus of this study. RSA models with different rock content based on the structural characteristics were built for the numerical uniaxial test. The strength of RSA decreases instead with the increment of rock contents, stress-strain curves attained in the test reflect five different phases according to the deformation and failure process of samples.

Se les aplicó el test de Bosco en los saltos Abalakov (ABK), Counter Mouvement Jump (CMJ) y Squat Jump (SJ) y el test Sprint Repeat Ability (RSA), con el fin de analizar las variables de estudio. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó SPSS v.22.0 (IBM Company Chicago), realizando el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson (r) datos paramétricos y un Alpha mayor o igual a 0.05. De los resultados obtenidos del test de Bosco en altura, se encontraron datos en SJ 38,4±3,35 cm; en ABK 45,4±4,03 cm, y, para CMJ 38,5±4,82 cm. Por otro lado, los resultados para el test RSA, indican que el índice de fatiga de los deportistas obtuvo un promedio de 7,514 ± 4,08%. Los datos arrojaron resultados en los que demuestran que no existe correlación entre el despegue ABK y la potencia RSA (p=0,015); mientras que el despegue de los saltos SJ y CMJ, sí se relacionan con la potencia del test RSA (p=0,056) (p=0,688) respectivamente. Adicionalmente, se concluye que existe relación entre el índice de fatiga, mejor sprint en el test RSA y la potencia del test RSA (p=0,026).

Abstract:

Foot reflexology massage (FRM) has positive effects on cardiovascular and haemodynamic functions. However, information regarding the physiological changes after FRM post exercise-stress is limited. This study investigated the acute effects of FRM on heart rate variability (HRV) after the repeated sprint ability (RSA) test and the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (YY). Twenty-six collegiate male football players were randomly assigned to the FRM group (n = 14) or to the control group (n = 12). Electrocardiographic (ECG) signals were recorded for 15 min in supine position before and after the intervention/control period in the RSA test and the YY test. In comparison to the control group, the FRM group demonstrated higher values of root mean squared successive difference in the RR interval (RMSSD; p = 0.046, ES = 0.76) and in the proportion of differences of adjacent RR intervals >50 ms (pNN50; p = 0.031, ES = 0.87); and higher percent changes in mean RR interval (%MeanRR; p = 0.040, ES = 0.99), standard deviation of RR intervals (%SDNN; p = 0.008, ES = 1.10), normalised high-frequency power (%nHFP; p = 0.008, ES = 0.77), total power (%TP; p = 0.009, ES = 0.84) and standard deviation 1 and 2 (%SD1; p = 0.008, ES = 1.08, %SD2; p = 0.020, ES = 1.04) after the RSA test. The magnitude effect of post-exercise HRV was small after the FRM RSA protocol (ES = 0.32–0.57). Conversely, the results demonstrated a moderate and large magnitude effect of HRV in the RSA and YY protocols of the control group (ES: RSA = 1.07–2.00; YY = 0.81–1.61) and in the YY protocol of the FRM group (ES = 0.99–1.59). The FRM intervention resulted in beneficial effects on the cardiac parasympathetic reactivity and the sympatho-vagal balance after RSA performance.

Abstract:

This study aimed to explore the main determinants of repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in women soccer players considering aerobic capacity, sprinting performance, change-of-direction, vertical height jump, and hip adductor/abductor isometric strength. Twenty-two women soccer players from the same team participating in the first Portuguese league were observed. Fitness assessments were performed three times during a 22-week cohort period. The following assessments were made: (i) hip abductor and adductor strength, (ii) squat and countermovement jump (height), (iii) change-of-direction test, (iv) linear sprinting at 10- and 30-m, (v) RSA test, and (vi) Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1. Positive moderate correlations were found between peak minimum RSA and adductor and abductor strength (r = 0.51, p < 0.02 and r = 0.54, p < 0.01, respectively). Positive moderate correlations were also found between peak maximum RSA and adductor and abductor strength (r = 0.55, p < 0.02 and r = 0.46, p < 0.01, respectively). Lastly, a moderate negative correlation was found between fatigue index in RSA and YYIR1 test performance (r = −0.62, p < 0.004). In conclusion, abductor and adductor isometric strength-based coadjutant training programs, together with a high degree of aerobic endurance, may be suitable for inducing RSA in female soccer players.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe precise role(s) and topological organization of different factors in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA replication complex are not well understood. In order to elucidate the role of viral and host proteins in HCV replication, we have developed a novelin vitroreplication system that utilizes a rolling-circle RNA template. Under close-to-physiological salt conditions, HCV NS5BΔ21, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, has poor affinity for the RNA template. Human replication protein A (RPA) and HCV NS5A recruit NS5BΔ21 to the template. Subsequently, NS3 is recruited to the replication complex by NS5BΔ21, resulting in RNA synthesis stimulation by helicase. Both RPA and NS5A(S25-C447), but not NS5A(S25-K215), enabled the NS5BΔ21-NS3 helicase complex to be stably associated with the template and synthesize RNA product in a highly processive mannerin vitro. This newin vitroHCV replication system is a useful tool that may facilitate the study of other replication factors and aid in the discovery of novel inhibitors of HCV replication.IMPORTANCEThe molecular mechanism of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication is not fully understood, but viral and host proteins collaborate in this process. Using a rolling-circle RNA template, we have reconstituted anin vitroHCV replication system that allows us to interrogate the role of viral and host proteins in HCV replication and delineate the molecular interactions. We showed that HCV NS5A(S25-C447)and cellular replication protein A (RPA) functionally cooperate as a processivity factor to stimulate HCV replication by HCV NS5BΔ21 polymerase and NS3 helicase. This system paves the way to test other proteins and may be used as an assay for discovery of HCV inhibitors.

Abstract:

Purpose:This study examined the effects of Ramadan on cycling repeated-sprint ability (RSA) and corresponding diurnal variations.Methods:Twelve active men performed an RSA test (5 × 6-s maximal sprints interspersed with 24 s passive recovery) during morning and afternoon sessions 1 wk before Ramadan (BR), during the second (R2) and the fourth (R4) weeks of Ramadan, and 2 wk after Ramadan (AR). Maximal voluntary contraction was assessed before (MVCpre), immediately after (MVCpost), and 5 min after the RSA test (MVCpost5). Moreover, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and plasma sodium and potassium (K+) concentrations were measured at rest and after the RSA test and MVCpost.Results:Overall, peak power (Ppeak) during the RSA test decreased throughout the 5 sprints. Ppeak measured in the first sprint and MVCpre were lower during Ramadan than BR in the afternoon (P < .05) and higher in the afternoon than the morning BR and AR (P < .05). However, this diurnal rhythmicity was not found for the last 4 sprints’ Ppeak, MVCpost, and MVCpost5 in all testing periods. Furthermore, the last 4 sprints’ Ppeak, MVCpost, MVCpost5, and morning MVCpre were not affected by Ramadan. [K+] measured at rest and after the RSA test and MVCpost were higher during Ramadan than BR in the afternoon (P < .05) and higher in the afternoon than the morning during Ramadan (P < .05).Conclusions:Fatigability is higher in the afternoon during Ramadan, and, therefore, training and competition should be scheduled at the time of day when physical performance is less affected.

Abstract:

The population dynamics of Meloidogyne chitwoodi on eight potato genotypes was compared to the susceptible cv. Desiree in four glasshouse experiments. The initial nematode densities consisted of log series 2x, with . Seinhorst’s logistic model was fitted to the final population densities to estimate the parameters maximum multiplication rate (a), maximum population density (M) and the ratios RSa, RSM and . Average RSa and RSM of the seven resistant genotypes were smaller than 0.29%. The ratios on six resistant genotypes and cv. Desiree were the same, 1.3, indicating independence of RS. One genotype stood out with , whereby RSa < RSM. Both RS and were unaffected by pot size or experimental conditions. Screening protocols at second-stage juveniles (g dry soil)−1 in 2 or 3 kg pots were evaluated for distinctiveness between the two genotype groups. Based on the results, an optimal protocol for a routine resistance test is proposed.

Abstract:

This paper addresses durability and shrinkage performance of the self-compacting concretes (SCCs) in which natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and/or natural fine aggregate (NFA) were replaced by recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and/or recycled fine aggregate (RFA), respectively. A total of 16 SCCs were produced and classified into four series, each of which included four mixes designed with two water to binder (w/b) ratios of 0.3 and 0.43 and two silica fume replacement levels of 0 and 10%. Durability properties of SCCs were tested for rapid chloride penetration, water sorptivity, gas permeability, and water permeability at 56 days. Also, drying shrinkage accompanied by the water loss and restrained shrinkage of SCCs were monitored over 56 days of drying period. Test results revealed that incorporating recycled coarse and/or fine aggregates aggravated the durability properties of SCCs tested in this study. The drying shrinkage and restrained shrinkage cracking of recycled aggregate (RA) concretes had significantly poorer performance than natural aggregate (NA) concretes. The time of cracking greatly prolonged as the RAs were used along with the increase in water/binder ratio.

Abstract:

Purpose: The effect of playing surface on physical performance during a repeated-sprint ability (RSA) test and the mechanisms for any potential playing-surface-dependent effects on RSA performance are equivocal. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of natural grass (NG) and artificial turf (AT) on physical performance, ratings of perceived exertion, feeling scale, and blood biomarkers related to anaerobic contribution (blood lactate [Lac]), muscle damage (creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase), inflammation (C-reactive protein), and immune function (neutrophils [NEU], lymphocytes [LYM], and monocytes) in response to an RSA test. Methods: A total of 9 male professional football players from the same regional team completed 2 sessions of RSA testing (6 × 30 s interspersed with a 35-s recovery) on NG and AT in a randomized order. During the RSA test, total (sum of distances) and peak (highest distance covered in a single repetition) distance covered were determined using a measuring tape, and the decrement in sprinting performance from the first to the last repetition was calculated. Before and after the RSA test, ratings of perceived exertion, feeling scale, and Lac, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, NEU, LYM, and monocytes were recorded in both NG and AT conditions. Results: Although physical performance declined during the RSA blocks on both surfaces (P = .001), the distance covered declined more on NG (15%) than on AT (11%; P = .04; effect size [ES] = −0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], −1.21 to 0.56) with a higher total distance covered (+6% [2%]) on AT (P = .018; ES = 1.15; 95% CI, 0.16 to 2.04). In addition, lower ratings of perceived exertion (P = .04; ES = −0.49; 95% CI, −1.36 to 0.42), Lac, NEU, and LYM (P = .03; ES = −0.80; 95% CI, −1.67 to 0.14; ES = −0.16; 95% CI, −1.03 to 0.72; and ES = −0.94; 95% CI, −1.82 to 0.02, respectively) and more positive feelings (P = .02; ES = 0.81; 95% CI, −0.13 to 1.69) were observed after the RSA test performed on AT than on NG. No differences were observed in the remaining physical and blood markers. Conclusion: These findings suggest that RSA performance is enhanced on AT compared with NG. This effect was accompanied by lower fatigue perception and Lac, NEU, and LYM and a more pleasurable feeling. These observations might have implications for physical performance in intermittent team-sport athletes who train and compete on different playing surfaces.

Abstract:

This study aimed to examine the agreement and acceptance of ultra-short-term heart rate (HR) variability (HRVUST) measures during post-exercise recovery in college football players. Twenty-five male college football players (age: 19.80 ± 1.08 years) from the first division of national university championship voluntarily participated in the study. The participants completed both a repeated sprint ability test (RSA) and a Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YYIR1) in a randomized order and separated by 7 days. Electrocardiographic signals (ECG) were recorded in a supine position 10 min before and 30 min after the exercise protocols. The HR and HRV data were analyzed in the time segments of baseline 5~10 min (Baseline), post-exercise 0~5 min (Post 1), post-exercise 5~10 min (Post 2), and post-exercise 25~30 min (Post 3). The natural logarithm of the standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (LnSDNN), root mean square of successive normal-to-normal interval differences (LnRMSSD), and LnSDNN:LnRMSSD ratio was compared in the 1st min HRVUST and 5-min criterion (HRVcriterion) of each time segment. The correlation of time-domain HRV variables to 5-min natural logarithm of low frequency power (LnLF) and high frequency power (LnHF), and LF:HF ratio were calculated. The results showed that the HRVUST of LnSDNN, LnRMSSD, and LnSDNN:LnRMSSD ratio showed trivial to small effect sizes (ES) (−0.00~0.49), very large and nearly perfect interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) (0.74~0.95), and relatively small values of bias (RSA: 0.01~−0.12; YYIR1: −0.01~−0.16) to the HRVcriterion in both exercise protocols. In addition, the HRVUST of LnLF, LnHF, and LnLF:LnHF showed trivial to small ES (−0.04~−0.54), small to large ICC (−0.02~0.68), and relatively small values of bias (RSA: −0.02~0.65; YYIR1: 0.03~−0.23) to the HRVcriterion in both exercise protocols. Lastly, the 1-min LnSDNN:LnRMSSD ratio was significantly correlated to the 5-min LnLF:LnHF ratio with moderate~high level (r = 0.43~0.72; p < 0.05) during 30-min post-exercise recovery. The post-exercise 1-min HRV assessment in LnSDNN, LnRMSSD, and LnSDNN:LnRMSSD ratio was acceptable and accurate in the RSA and YYIR1 tests, compared to the 5-min time segment of measurement. The moderate to high correlation coefficient of the HRVUST LnSDNN:LnRMSSD ratio to the HRVcriterion LnLF:LnHF ratio indicated the capacity to facilitate the post-exercise shortening duration of HRV measurement after maximal anaerobic or aerobic shuttle running. Using ultra-short-term record of LnSDNN:LnRMSSD ratio as a surrogate for standard measure of LnLF:LnHF ratio after short-term bouts of maximal intensity field-based shuttle running is warranted.

Abstract:

O presente artigo constitui-se como uma revisão do estudo “Um estrangeiro em família: ser surdo como diferença linguística” e tem o objetivo de refletir sobre os resultados de uma tese de doutoramento com o estudo desenvolvido em uma universidade particular. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com desenho etnográfico, que ocorreu no período de maio de 2010 a maio de 2012, com dez estudantes surdos universitários. Esses estudantes, sete alunos do sexo masculino e três alunos do sexo feminino, de 18 a 38 anos, faziam uso da língua de sinais como meio de comunicação principal no Campus, provenientes de vários cursos, além da participação de seus familiares ouvintes, na investigação. Fez-se uso da técnica de Grupo Focal e de entrevistas semiabertas, com a formação de dois grupos, um composto por surdos e o outro por seus familiares. Como recurso para análise de dados empregou-se o software Nvivo, apontando oito categorias: Comunicação, Oralização Obrigatória, Cultura Surda, Preconceito, Escolarização Inadequada, Família, Perspectiva da Diferença e Perspectiva Médica, que revelam correlações entre si e demonstram divergências de percepções, entre os dois grupos. Deixando claro que os surdos sustentam a perspectiva da condição de ser surdo como uma diferença, enquanto os familiares apontam como uma deficiência, na perspectiva do modelo médico. A revisão do estudo constatou que os surdos não aceitam a perspectiva da deficiência, enquanto os ouvintes familiares, como a sociedade asseguram-se de que há uma falta e que a condição de ser surdo é uma deficiência.

Abstract:

Response surface analysis (RSA) enables researchers to test complex psychological effects, for example, whether the congruence of two psychological constructs is associated with higher values in an outcome variable. RSA is increasingly applied in the personality and social psychological literature, but the validity of published results has been challenged by some persistent oversimplifications and misconceptions. Here, we describe the mathematical fundamentals required to interpret RSA results, and we provide a checklist for correctly identifying congruence effects. We clarify two prominent fallacies by showing that the test of a single RSA parameter cannot indicate a congruence effect, and when there is a congruence effect, RSA cannot indicate whether a predictor mismatch in one direction (e.g., overestimation of one’s intelligence) is better or worse than a mismatch in the other direction (underestimation). We hope that this contribution will further enhance the validity and strength of empirical studies that apply this powerful approach.

Ao traçar um paralelo entre o fruto proibido do Gênesis e o livro proibido em torno do qual gira a trama de O nome da rosa (1980), de Umberto Eco, o presente artigo propõe uma interpretação – ciente de que há diversas outras possíveis – para a biblioteca labiríntica retratada no romance. Em meio ao enfrentamento entre monges que desejam acesso ao conhecimento e monges que interditam esse acesso, julgando-o perigoso, pode-se perceber na abadia criada por Eco alusões à queda de Adão e Eva, que são expulsos do Éden por experimentarem o fruto da árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal. A partir do estudo de símbolos (BIEDERMAN, 1992; CIRLOT, 2001; FERBER, 2007; TRESSINDER, 2012), de considerações a respeito do mito fundador bíblico (COTTER, 2003; TOWNER, 2001) e de explicações sobre o labirinto dadas pelo próprio autor (1985; 2017), procura-se investigar relações entre proibição, autoridade e conhecimento no contexto do livro.

Abstract:

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of multiple sets of repeated-sprint-ability (RSA)-induced fatigue on subsequent passing-skill performance in field hockey players. Methods: A total of 10 elite U-21 (under-21) male field hockey players performed 5 sets of a combination of RSA test (6 × 20 m, 20 s of passive recovery) followed by a 1-min passing-skill test (passing reception with subsequent passes at a predesigned target). Data on fastest sprint time and cumulated sprint time for RSA test; total number of balls played, targeted, and passing accuracy (number of balls targeted/total number of balls played) for passing-skill test; heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration (BLa), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were collected throughout the protocol. Results: RSA performance was significantly impaired from set 1 to set 5 (fastest sprint time +4.1%, P < .001; cumulated sprint time +2.3%, P < .01). For a similar average number of balls played (12.8 [1.4]) during each set, number of balls targeted (−1.7%, P < .05) and passing accuracy (−3.1%, P < .05) decreased up to the third set before reimproving over the last 2 sets. Psychophysiological responses (HR, BLa, and RPE) progressively increased (P < .05) toward protocol cessation. The decrease in passing accuracy with increasing RSA cumulated sprint time was fitted to a 2nd-order polynomial function (r2 = .94, P < .05). Conclusion: Multiple-set RSA-induced fatigue was accompanied by passing-skill adjustment variation, suggesting a complex interaction between physiological and psychological/cognitive function to preserve passing skill under fatigued condition.

Abstract:

Eyesight is an essential sense. The eyes are responsible for 80% of the information we receive about the world around us. The ability to perceive visual stimuli should therefore be considered the most effective ability when compared to other senses. Furthermore, it predisposes all developmental and growth issues in children. Impairment in visual perception leads to several problems, such as learning disorders, behavioral disorders, emotional problems and social disorders. Visual perception impairment is also often comorbid with other disabilities. Using the Frostig test, the examination of visual perception has begun to be carried out by several health workers, such as psychologists and occupational therapists. Although the Frostig test has been used in Indonesia, some of its aspects need to be reviewed. Indonesia’s visual perception tests are limited, and infrequently inspected. This study aims to modify the Frostig test into a testing instrument that is appropriate to the culture of child development in Indonesia and to be a child-friendly instrument, especially for children aged three-to-eight years. Modifications that will be made include the amendment of item content, additional dimensions, items and response options. The measurement of content validity involved 20 participants, a trial test of 30 participants, a visual attention test of 111 participants and a test for validity and reliability in 219 participants. The exploratory factor analysis confirmed six sub-tests, consisting of 38 items, with composite reliabilities ranging from 0.648-0.823.

Abstract:

Both marker-based roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) and model-based RSA have been helpful evaluation tools in hip and knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to test both model-based and marker-based RSA in the evaluation of total joint prostheses of the trapeziometacarpal joint. In a phantom study, the precision of marker-based RSA was tested with a cemented polyethylene cup and compared with the precision of model-based RSA in an uncemented Elektra screw cup. The precision of model-based RSA of the metacarpal stem was tested using an uncemented Elektra metacarpal stem. In a clinical study 11 patients had double stereo radiographs followed by RSA analysis. The precision of translation in both marker-based and model-based RSA was sufficient for clinical use, but rotation cannot be estimated with sufficient precision.
