Isolated distal grade III lateral collateral ligament injury: what is the real clinical impact in professional athletes?

The isolated III grade lateral collateral ligament injuries are rare, and there is limited literature available on their management. We report 3 cases of professional soccer players with isolated distal lateral collateral ligament III grade injury, confirmed by MRI studies. After undergoing MRI examinations, all three players resumed competitive activity without resting and experienced no consequences regarding joint stability. We assessed the significance of the lateral collateral ligament in providing lateral stabilization to the knee joint in professional footballers with clinical tears of the lateral collateral ligament. The other structures of posterolateral area that remain intact contribute to joint stability, and the lateral collateral ligament's extra-articular position appears to expedite the ligament's healing process. Therefore, we propose a possible conservative treatment approach, mostly for professional athletes and adolescent patients, involving a rehabilitation plan without the need for surgery.

브랜드 이미지와 고객 만족, 재구매 의도간의 관계 연구

To cope with various changes in consumer consumption patterns, companies are trying to enhance their brand awareness or use marketing to increase their competitiveness. Therefore, companies need to make efforts to gain a competitive advantage by forming a brand image and driving customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions.
 The study aims to analyze the relationship between the brand image of a beauty training institution and the repurchase intentions, such as trainees' satisfaction, linked training, or retraining, and to present the directions and implications necessary to strengthen competitiveness through building competitive advantage and brand activation. To this end, a survey was conducted with a sample of about 280 people training at beauty training institutions in the metropolitan area. Using SPSS WIN 12.0, frequency analysis to identify general characteristics and reliability analysis (Cronbach' a) were performed for each measurement item of variables. Multiple regression analysis and mediation effect analysis were conducted on the relationship between brand image, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intentions.
 The hypothesis was established by dividing the brand image into functional image and symbolic image, and the relationship between the brand image of the training institution along with the satisfaction of the trainees and the intention of repurchase was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the functional and symbolic image of the brand had a positive (+) effect on customer satisfaction, and the affected customer satisfaction had a positive (+) effect on consumer repurchase intentions. The mediated effect of customer satisfaction was partially adopted.
 Although this study has limitations that did not consider all the characteristics of beauty fields such as hair beauty, makeup, skincare, and nail beauty, the importance of brand image was emphasized once again in the environmental change of the beauty industry due to the popularization and specialization of the existing small beauty industry. Furthermore, the brand image will draw more attention, providing the basis for training institutions to be competitive and seek ways to develop the company.

The Economic Public Interest in a World of Oligopoly*

The Australian economy has performed well compared with comparable countries over the last three decades only if we average the excellent performance in the 1990s and the poor performance over the past decade. Real wages over the past decade have stagnated—to an extent without historical parallel. We cannot understand the economy's underperformance without recognising the increasing claims of economic rents on national income. Correction of weaknesses requires coordination of many policy instruments including measures to reduce the prevalence of rents (competition policy and regulation of oligopoly where competition is not feasible or inefficient) and changes in taxation arrangements to shift the burden of business taxation from firms in competitive activities to firms relying heavily on economic rents.

Visible-Light-Driven Selective Hydrogenation of Nitrostyrene over Layered Ternary Sulfide Nanostructures.

Selective hydrogenation of nitrostyrenes is a great challenge due to the competitive activation of the nitro groups (─NO2 ) and carbon-carbon (C═C) double bonds. Photocatalysis has emerged as an alternative to thermocatalysis for the selective hydrogenation reaction, bypassing the precious metal costs and harsh conditions. Herein, two crystalline phases of layered ternary sulfide Cu2 WS4 , that is, body-centered tetragonal I-Cu2 WS4 nanosheets and primitive tetragonal P-Cu2 WS4 nanoflowers, are controlled synthesized by adjusting the capping agents. Remarkably, these nanostructures show visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance for selective hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene under mild conditions. In detail, the I-Cu2 WS4 nanosheets show excellent conversion of 3-nitrostyrene (99.9%) and high selectivity for 3-vinylaniline (98.7%) with the assistance of Na2 S as a hole scavenger. They also can achieve good hydrogenation selectivity to 3-ethylnitrobenzene (88.5%) with conversion as high as 96.3% by using N2 H4 as a proton source. Mechanism studies reveal that the photogenerated electrons and in situ generated protons from water participate in the former hydrogenation pathway, while the latter requires the photogenerated holes and in situ generated reactive oxygen species to activate the N2 H4 to form cis-N2 H2 for further reduction. The present work expands the rational synthesis of ternary sulfide nanostructures and their potential application for solar-energy-driven organic transformations.

Formation of the structure of psychophysiological features of elite basketball players

Among coaches and scientists, one of the main topics is the improvement of the system for training elite athletes.

Analysis and generalization of the manifestation of different types of force in competitive exercises of the leaders of the world armwrestling weighing over 100 kg

Purpose: approbation of a complex of speed-strength characteristics for monitoring the dynamics of strength exercises of the world’s leading armwrestlers weighing over 100 kg. Material and Methods. The study involved the 3 best arm wrestlers in the world weighing over 100 kg (116.00 ± 18.03 kg) in 2017–2020. Four power test exercises have been identified that ensure the performance of a competitive action in arm wrestling: flexion of the fingers, stretch with a hammer, hook and bending the hand. These exercises were performed with the left and right hands. Strength indicators in all test exercises were measured with an FL1K 0.5N, 1000N electric strain gauge dynamometer, Kern & Sohn GmbH (China) with an accuracy class of up to 50 g, fixed on a specialized armwrestling table using a specially made an author’s block device. In the course of statistical analysis, the following parameters were determined and calculated: maximum (F) and relative (F1 = ƩF / m) strength, kg; total strength index in four strength exercises (ƩF = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4), kg; time to reach maximum strength (Ʃt = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4), s; speed-strength index (J = ƩF / Ʃt), kg/ms; average strength, index of four exercises ( = ƩF / 4), kg; total strength gradient of four exercises (Ʃt0,5F), ms; speed-strength index in the first 500 ms (J500 = ƩF500 / Ʃt500), kg/ms; time to reach 1 kg force (t1 = Ʃt0.5F / (0.5×F)), ms/kg; Pearson’s correlation analysis; Factor analysis. Results. As a result of the study, the main data on the speed-strength indicators of armwrestlers were obtained and analyzed. In the process of testing, according to the indicators of time periods and these efforts of dynamic strength, the features of the manifestation of explosive, fast and slow strength of arm wrestlers weighing over 100 kg were established. Determining the relationship between strength and speed-strength indicators using factor analysis made it possible to establish two factors that determine the overall variance of the sample. The first factor with a contribution of 70.9 % to the total sample formed the temporal characteristics of effort in test exercises, such as the time to reach maximum effort (r = 0.979), speed-strength index (r = 0.986), force gradient. (r = 0.986) and the time to reach a force of 1 kg (r = 0.979). The second factor with a factor loading of 29.1 % was the maximum force (r = 0.960), the average test strength (r = 0.961) and the achieved force in 500 ms (r = 0.716). Thus, the results of the correlation and factorial analyzes of the strength and speed-strength indicators of armwrestlers weighing more than 100 kg indicate the priority of the temporal characteristics of efforts over strength in a competitive exercise. Conclusions. The study made it possible to test a complex of speed-strength indicators for monitoring the functional state of the world’s leading armwrestlers weighing over 100 kg, an approved system of criteria for time and power characteristics of efforts in competitive exercises allows you to monitor the state of athletes to monitor and predict success in armwrestling. The author’s device used in the study made it possible to automate the process of measurements with high mobility, as well as immediately create a database on the power and speed-strength capabilities of armwrestlers with high accuracy.

Inhibiting effect of C3H6 on the performance of Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts for NH3 selective catalytic reduction

Hydrocarbons (HCs) have been found to be a potential source of catalyst poisoning in ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) of NOx. As one of the predominant constituents of hydrocarbons, propene (C3H6) was selected to investigate its inhibitory effect on Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts utilized in the NH3-SCR reaction. The results of standard SCR tests mixing C3H6 and NH3 showed that the NH3-SCR activity of Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts was inhibited in the range of 150–650 °C with the introduction of C3H6 and the NOx conversion was lowest in the presence of 2000 ppm C3H6. The competitive adsorption and NH3 oxidation activity were extensively studied. It was found that NH3 and C3H6 could both be stored on Brønsted acid sites and Cu sites. The introduction of C3H6 during NH3-TPD experiments caused an increase of weakly adsorbed NH3 on the weak Lewis acid sites and a decrease of adsorbed NH3 on the strong Lewis acid sites and Brønsted acid sites, confirming the existence of the competitive adsorption between NH3 and C3H6. Based on TPO experiments, C3H6 enhanced the NH3 oxidation activities in the temperature range of 250–650 °C, and coke deposition might be generated on the catalysts, causing the decline of NOx conversion during NH3-SCR with C3H6.

The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the features of modern sports ballroom dance, which should be the basis for the development of higher professional education in this field and its further specialization. The following tasks have been set: to determine the specifics of sports ballroom dance as a type of choreography, sport, and socio-cultural phenomenon.
 The methodology is based on a system-synergistic approach. The article is an analysis of the author’s own many years’ experience — sports, coaching, organization and teaching — by generalizing and systematizing observations.
 The results. New circumstances force further institutionalization of sports ballroom dancing, namely the definition and consolidation of social norms, rules, statuses and roles in this area, bringing them into a functioning system capable of self-development and self-reproduction. Sports ballroom dance has not lost its relevance even in the regions of Ukraine most affected by the armed aggression, proving once again its right to develop in the national cultural space. Its mass appeal, its reliance on fundamental ideas and images of life, and its potentially wide target audience of students will contribute to the resumption of competitions and the growing need for higher professional education. The profession of dance teachers is a promising area of work for universities. At the same time, the training of specialists in this field requires further specialization and institutionalization. It should be accepted as a fact that the career of ballroom dancing specialists will be in club and competition activities, and the educational process should be organized accordingly.
 The scientific novelty of the article is to clarify the peculiarities of the concept of sports ballroom dance in the system of choreographic art, its socio-cultural role, as well as to analyze dance competitions as the main sphere of their modern existence.
 The practical significance. Some provisions of the article can be used in education and special courses in ballroom choreography, theory and methods of dance sports and ballroom dance practices.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of aquatic-based Tabata training on increasing the physical fitness level of athletes in situational sports through a mixed study.
 Material and methods: This study adopted a quantitative and qualitative (mixed) approach. Research involved participants who were athletes in situational sports, namely martial arts (n=20) football (n=20). Situational sports are sports with a changing situation during competitive activity. These include sports games and martial arts. Participants were allocated into two groups, namely an experimental group that received an aquatic-based Tabata training program and a control group that carried out normal training. Quantitative instruments for measuring physical fitness was leg dynamometer test, squat jumps, 10 meter running tests, shuttle runs, sit and reach and multi-stage. Meanwhile qualitative instrument involved in-depth interviews for 30 minutes. Quantitative statistical analysis used IBM SPSS to obtain normality, descriptive statistics. Meanwhile, the Independent samples t-test used to test differences in physical fitness values between the before and after of experiment. Paired sample t-test serves to test whether there is an effect of the experimental and control groups on the level of physical fitness. Qualitative statistical analysis through thematic, namely coded and categorized into three themes.
 Results: The first finding in the quantitative study showed that there was no difference in the physical fitness of the experimental and control group athletes before the experiment (p>0.05). The second finding that aquatic-based Tabata training had a significant effect on increasing physical fitness (p<0.05), but there was no increase in physical fitness in the control group (p>0.05). The third finding is that there are differences in the physical fitness of the experimental and control group athletes after getting the experiment (p<0.05). Meanwhile qualitative result shows that the athletes agreed that the aquatic-based Tabata training program was easy, fun and efficient to use and saves time. In addition, they also assumed that this training had a big impact in improving physical fitness, but this training also has challenges, namely it could not be applied to pre-teens athletes and has the risk to cause injury if the athletes were not carried out an optimal warming up and not serious in carrying out the training program.

Psychological preparation of freestyle wrestlers during competitions

The article examines issues related to the construction of a training process in freestyle wrestling, paying attention to psychological preparation during competitions. Organization and formation of loads, use of technical elements and exercises to improve sports form according to sports qualification and training period.
 In sports wrestling (freestyle wrestling), the conditions of competitions differ from the conditions of training classes. Coaches and psychologists must train athletes not only physically and tactically, but also develop in them the ability to resist many pre-competition and competitive factors that have a disorganizing effect and cause inconsistency of functions, that is, reduce reliability in competitive activities.
 Before the responsible start, an attitude related to the expectation of the most likely result of the competition is formed. Often, the setting of tasks is formed on an unconscious level. However, the more complex the future activity is in terms of its structure, the more conscious, volitional components prevail in the formed attitude.
 Overcoming the maximum muscle effort, fatigue in the process of fighting, the wrestler shows volitional efforts, taking into account which willpower qualities develop depending on the difficulty. This is especially significant for juniors, who still have fully developed moral and psychological qualities, which have self-regulation techniques, so necessary in the struggle.
 Tension in sports activities can be not only emotional, but also operational. Operational tension arises as a result of the complexity of the work performed, emotional tension - as a result of the action of negative emotional irritants.
 It has been established that only under the conditions of training load, adequate psychotype of the athlete, the reactivity of the central nervous system increases and the mechanisms of ensuring effective sports activity in extreme conditions, which, in fact, are accompanied by any competitions, are improved.

Persaingan Antar Pedagang Dalam Perspektif Etika Bisnis Islam

In today's digital era, the economy is a very important aspect for every human life in order to meet every need such as clothing, food and shelter. In Islam, every human being is encouraged to compete in trying, but Islam underlines that the intended effort should be in terms of goodness not the other way around which can plunge people into satanic acts. In this study the method used is a qualitative method. The informants in this study were eight traders and three buyers. The type of data used is primary data with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and documentation. Checking the validity of the data is done by testing the internal validity (credibility), preparing a triangulation plan, identifying informants and participants. Based on the results of this study indicate that the competition between traders in the Keramat Tinggi Market, Muara Bulian District includes five principles, namely unity (unity), balance (fairness), free will, responsibility, and truth. Of the five principles, most of the business competition activities carried out by traders are in accordance with Islamic business ethics, although there are some traders who carry out unfair business competition and conflict with Islamic business ethics, namely traders with large capital, setting prices below the prices of other traders and there are Merchants who report that the quality is not in accordance with their merchandise with the aim of turning off other traders and can harm the buyer. In implementing the five principles of Islamic business ethics there are obstacles to the principle of responsibility because there are some traders who actually provide insurance or compensation to the buyer if there is a defect in the goods and also some do not provide insurance to the buyer if there is a defect in the goods. But this happens not for the sole reason of making a profit, but to minimize the losses that occur.

A clash on the Toll pathway: competitive action between pesticides and zymosan A on components of innate immunity in Apis mellifera.

The immune system of honeybees includes multiple pathways that may be affected by pesticide exposure decreasing the immune competencies of bees and increasing their susceptibility to diseases like the fungal Nosema spp. infection, which is detected in collapsed colonies. To better understand the effect of the co-presence of multiple pesticides that interact with bees like imidacloprid and amitraz, we evaluated the expression of immune-related genes in honeybee hemocytes. Imidacloprid, amitraz, and the immune activator, zymosan A, mainly affect the gene expression in the Toll pathway. Imidacloprid, amitraz, and zymosan A have a synergistic or an antagonistic relationship on gene expression depending on the level of immune signaling. The presence of multiple risk factors like pesticides and pathogens requires the assessment of their complex interaction, which has differential effects on the innate immunity of honeybees as seen in this study.
