ADAPTATION OF NAVAL PENTATHLON ATHLETES TO PHYSICAL TRAINING

Rationally planned training leads to adaptation and progress, and irrational planning leads to disruption of the course of adaptation reactions and overwork. For a rational periodization it is very important to identify training concepts based on detailed analysis of fatigue development mechanisms. Proper planning and execution of training will result in an increase in effort capacity. Adaptation, viewed from a biological point of view, is a complex defense mechanism against the demands caused by environmental changes. This requires an adequate response of the organism to environmental conditions in order to survive under the new conditions. For sports training, adaptation refers to the set of transformations that the athlete's body undergoes in training, in order to develop a superior state of bio-psycho-motor balance, materialized in the easy execution of a task. Research objectives: Initial evaluation of subjects; Development of the training program; Evaluation of the level of adaptation to physical effort obtained from specific naval pentathlon training; Development of a training planning model, allowing the improvement of physical effort capacity by means specific to the naval pentathlon. Methods: The research carried out started from the premise that the appropriate use of training means specific to the naval pentathlon can lead to an improvement of the effort capacity of military students, which fully satisfies their performance needs in fulfilling combat missions arising from the graduate's model. At a preliminary stage of the research, by applying general physical training tests, we obtained an initial assessment of the research subjects. These data were a benchmark in developing the training program and setting effort parameters. The training plan thus designed contains training sessions specific to naval pentathlon trials, adapted to the normal conditions of the naval academy training process. Results: The comparative analysis of the results, based on mathematical-statistical and graphical methods, reveals significant increases in performance recorded in the final testing stage. The dynamics of the results demonstrates a significant evolution of the results of the experimental group carried out during the training program, carried out according to the designed model. This confirms to us the effectiveness of applying the training program. The statistical results confirm a very good evolution of the results for the general motor tests and for the Ruffier test. Conclusions: Regular exercise is a particularly important stimulus for adaptation. Sports training, by its specific means, aims to increase the level of performance. In order to achieve this objective, it is necessary to apply a well-defined programme in great detail. Effective training requires constant variability in programming. In addition, in order to maximize the positive transfer of training, the means used in the training lesson should be as close as possible to the characteristics of the effort. Because of this, there is a permanent conflict in training programming, between diversity and specificity. This conflict can only be successfully managed through professional intervention on the part of the coach and involvement of the athlete according to training requirements.

Building a Worship Demand Application with The Waterfall Method Using Flutter Framework at The Al-Muttaqin Mosque Suralaga, Indonesia

With the rapid development of modern technology such as smartphones, it has positive and negative impacts in this modern era. The positive impact is easy access to information. Meanwhile, the negative impact is misuse of the smartphone itself, such as opening websites that are not suitable for viewing, one of which is addiction to internet games which makes you lazy about studying. Apart from that, there is also a significant problem, namely travelers and children or teenagers at the Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Suralaga who seem to have quite difficulty carrying religious guidance in the form of a book. To overcome this, an Android-based prayer guidance application was created. It is hoped that this can provide understanding for children and teenagers at the Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Suralaga. As a result, this application was built using the Flutter Framework and the Waterfall method which consists of the user needs analysis stage, namely analyzing what needs and features are needed when creating the application. The design stage is the system design stage using System Flowcharts, UML (Use Case, Class and Activity) diagrams. The implementation stage is the stage of implementing the UI/UX design into a programming language using Visual Studio Code. The final testing stage is the stage of testing the functionality of the application using black box testing and using usability. The results of black box testing show that all menus were successfully executed and the results of usability testing using a Likert scale were 84.8%. This shows that in terms of utility the application built is in the "Very Good" category.

Developing A Video Copywriting to Promote Palembang Traditional Cakes

In terms of trading, a place of business needs to be known by many people in order to become buyers, because buyers have an important role that affects increasing sales and business growth. Unfortunately, there are still local people and tourists who do not know the location of the business and the uniqueness of the products they sell. To ensure that Dapoer Bunda Rayya becomes known to both local people and tourists, it is necessary to promote the business. Based on the statement above, the researchers introduced and promoted Dapoer Bunda Rayya as the seller and maker of Palembang traditional cakes through advertising videos. The study aims to know video copywriting process of Dapoer Bunda Rayya in two languages, English and Bahasa Indonesia, for promoting Palembang traditional dessert. This research was conducted using the Research & Development approach with the preliminary study, model draft, and final product testing and dissemination stages. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The researchers wrote the copy by using PAS formula, the AIDA formula, and the steps of writing a copy by Rieck. After the final copywriting was approved it was posted on social media. The video copywriting was an effective media to introduce the new innovation cakes and also another typically Palembang cakes for local and international tourists.

An Exploration of Flow Control Using Machine Learning and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Although numerous studies relating to computational fluid dynamics and machine learning have been conducted in relation to automotive development, the majority focus on either early development using completed 3D models, or the final testing stages of development, or machine learning accelerated computational fluid dynamic simulations. While this approach is helpful in software development and simulation, it is not easily adaptable to automotive design where the final model is constantly changing and being modified. Consequently, the aim of this study is to propose a method for conducting computational fluid dynamics and machine learning concurrently to accelerate the development process. The proposed method is used to design and improve the aerodynamic efficiency of an object. The approach focuses on developing, implementing, and comparing machine learning models capable of generating optimised three-dimensional objects with the required geometry to direct airflow paths required in applications such as pressure generation, as needed for both active and passive flow control. The study concludes that both decision tree regression and long short-term memory (LSTM) autoencoder models could be used to optimise the aerodynamic efficiency of solid bodies, but that the LSTM autoencoder performs better overall. An undesirable effect of the shape optimisation is an overall reduction in shape size as optimization increases.

Artificial intelligence-assisted auto-optical inspection toward the stain detection of an organic light-emitting diode panel at the backplane fabrication step

This paper attempts to implement an auto-optical inspection (AOI) system using artificial intelligence (AI) technology for cost reduction in the production of organic light emitting diode (OLED) panels, specifically at the production stage of the thin film transistor (TFT) . Further, to improve the accuracy of mura detection, the possible causes of mura were properly identified, and a model to control and predict mura occurrence was realized based on the sufficient analysis of these causes. More specifically, an explainable AI (XAI) prediction model was developed using the fab image and test element group (TEG) engineering methods, which could be applied as input data for the circuit simulations to improve the accuracy of the overall simulations. Initially, we attempted to predict backplane stain using only the TFT width, length dimension, and resistance–capacitance (RC) extraction data, but the results were not accurate. Consequently, we identified, via sufficient analysis, that the correlation between the dehydrogenation and stain, and introduced an AI model. As a result, the accuracy was improved from 50 to 80%, which is more effective in terms of time and cost, compared to conventional simulation through the TCAD analysis. Overall, by implementing the inspection method described in this paper, it was possible to detect stains at the backplane stage, which was only possible during the final test stage, thereby resulting in significant cost savings.

Moodle-Based Development of Primary Education under Martial Law

A specific feature of the organization of education during wartime is the creation of a modern educational environment for the harmonious development of students in conditions of war. The substantiation of ways of developing qualities, values and competences of primary school students is important for solving a number of contradictions between the quality training of students to be competitive in the process of building labour relations at age stages, and the insufficient level of their real preparation for productive activities. There is also a contradiction between a significant volume of promising information in the conditions of rapidly changing technologies and unadjusted educational environment to innovative changes in terms of its analysis and use. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the Moodle platform on the academic performance of primary schoolers under martial law. The aim was achieved through the use of the following methods: questionnaire survey, testing, methods of statistical analysis. It was found that the introduction of the modernized curriculum in the Moodle platform had a positive effect on the academic performance of the students of the experimental group (EG) compared to the students who used the traditional platform. The crosswords, interactive assignments, as well as animated videos in case of correct completion of tests were also added to encourage students to complete additional assignments after the lesson. This also affected the positive result of the final stage of testing. A promising direction for further research may be the development of interactive tasks for primary schoolers to better assimilate the material they have learned.

Registration of ‘L 14‐267’ sugarcane

Abstract‘L 14‐267’ (Reg. no. CV‐213, PI 701487) sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) was released for commercial production in Louisiana because of its high yield potential and broad‐spectrum disease resistance. The final testing stage resulted in data from 62 trials at 12 representative sandy silt (light‐textured) and clayey (heavy‐textured) soil locations. Cane yield of L 14‐267 was comparable to that of ‘L 01‐299’, the most widely grown cultivar in the Louisiana sugar industry, in the plant and first ratoon crops but significantly lower in the second ratoon crop. Sucrose content was significantly higher in L 14‐267 than in L 01‐299 in the plant and first ratoon crops and was comparable to that of L 01‐299 in the second ratoon crop. Sugar yield was significantly higher in L 14‐267 than in L 01‐299 in the plant crop, comparable in the first ratoon crop but significantly lower in the second ratoon crop. The performance of L 14‐267 did not differ significantly between the two soil types for any of the traits. L 14‐267 is a mid‐ to late‐season maturing cultivar that appears to respond well to plant growth regulators but poorly to sub‐freezing temperatures. L 14‐267 displayed broad‐spectrum disease resistance, being resistant to mosaic, yellow leaf, smut, and ratoon stunt and moderately resistant to brown rust and leaf scald. L 14‐267 is moderately susceptible to the sugarcane borer and the Mexican rice borer.

Implementasi Agile Scrum Pembuatan Game Visual Novel Cerita Asal Usul Kota Surabaya

Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta. The city of Surabaya has a distinctive designation, namely "the city of heroes" because of the great support from the people of Surabaya in fighting for Indonesian independence. The lack of interest of Indonesia's younger generation in Indonesian folklore and their preference for video games and other advanced technology, does not rule out the possibility that history will be forgotten and slowly extinct because it is only passed down orally. The purpose of this research is to implement the agile-scrum method in making visual novel games as an effort to attract the interest of the younger generation to know and preserve the history of the origins of the city of Surabaya with a modern approach and according to the target audience. The visual elements used in this game are costume details, props, poses and various expressions according to modified references. In addition, the narration/storyline used has also been developed with a story style and choice of words that are relevant to the target user. The method used in this final project is agile-scrum which has 8 stages of development, starting from the stage of exploring problems that can become product ideas to the final testing stage. From the results of the final test, the creation of a visual novel game based on the story of the origins of the city of Surabaya can be used properly by users.

Sistem Penjadwalan Maintenance AC Berbasis Mobile Menggunakan Algoritma Genetika Pada Hotel Nusa Dua Convention Center

Scheduling is the most important thing in Instasi, at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center hotel. In this system AC maintenance scheduling is intended for staff technicians at BNDCC hotels. In BNDCC, scheduling still uses a manual system using bookkeeping so that ac maintenance scheduling takes a long time and the resulting schedule information is less effective because the process tends to take a long time and the information generated is less accurate. The purpose of this study is to apply a genetic algorithm to solve optimization problems in scheduling ac maintenance. Genetic algorithms present candidate solutions randomly, then evaluate using the fitness function and then do a selection, then cross-move and mutase. After a few generations the genetic algorithm produces the best schedule. Scheduling In making this scheduling system uses the development of the waterfall method and is designed using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) with the Hypertext Prepprocessing (php) programming language and MySQL as a database. In the scheduling system it has a generate function that generates an AC maintenance schedule automatically. With the scheduling system, the scheduling process can be done quickly and effectively. Besides the scheduling system that is built to display the overall schedule, namely Day, Time, Room, Technician and Job. At the final stage of testing, the system is tested using the blackbox testing method and all tests performed have obtained the appropriate results.

Plant Breeding for Intercropping in Temperate Field Crop Systems: A Review.

Monoculture cropping systems currently dominate temperate agroecosystems. However, intercropping can provide valuable benefits, including greater yield stability, increased total productivity, and resilience in the face of pest and disease outbreaks. Plant breeding efforts in temperate field crops are largely focused on monoculture production, but as intercropping becomes more widespread, there is a need for cultivars adapted to these cropping systems. Cultivar development for intercropping systems requires a systems approach, from the decision to breed for intercropping systems through the final stages of variety testing and release. Design of a breeding scheme should include information about species variation for performance in intercropping, presence of genotype × management interaction, observation of key traits conferring success in intercropping systems, and the specificity of intercropping performance. Together this information can help to identify an optimal selection scheme. Agronomic and ecological knowledge are critical in the design of selection schemes in cropping systems with greater complexity, and interaction with other researchers and key stakeholders inform breeding decisions throughout the process. This review explores the above considerations through three case studies: (1) forage mixtures, (2) perennial groundcover systems (PGC), and (3) soybean-pennycress intercropping. We provide an overview of each cropping system, identify relevant considerations for plant breeding efforts, describe previous breeding focused on the cropping system, examine the extent to which proposed theoretical approaches have been implemented in breeding programs, and identify areas for future development.

Registration of ‘L 12‐201’ sugarcane

Abstract‘L 12‐201’ (Reg. no. CV‐206, PI 699125) sugarcane (an interspecific hybrid of Saccharum spp.) was released on 10 Apr. 2019 for commercial production in the Louisiana sugar industry. L 12‐201 was derived from a cross between the female parent ‘L 97‐128’ and the male parent ‘HoCP 96‐540’. Early‐stage selection through the seedling and two unreplicated clonal stages by researchers at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center culminated in the assignment of a permanent varietal designation in 2012. Thereafter, the experimental variety was further evaluated cooperatively with personnel from the USDA‐ARS at Houma and the American Sugar Cane League, Inc., at Thibodaux, LA, through several stages at multiple locations. In the final testing stage, data were collected from 60 replicated, combine‐harvested trials at 12 representative light‐ and heavy‐textured soil locations. Averaged across the plant‐cane crop, the sucrose content, cane yield, and sugar yield were significantly (P < .05) higher in L 12‐201 than in ‘L 01‐299’, the most widely grown cultivar in the Louisiana sugar industry. In the first‐ and second‐ratoon crops, L 12‐201 had significantly (P < .05) less cane yield and sugar yield than L 01‐299, but sucrose content was not significantly different between L 12‐201 and L 01‐299. When averaged across the light‐textured versus heavy‐textured soil locations, no significant differences in performance were found for L 12‐201 in any of the traits measured. The new cultivar had a lower stalk population and greater stalk weight compared with L 01‐299, especially in the ratoon crops. L 12‐201 is a mid‐maturing cultivar. Whenever possible, L 12‐201 should be harvested before the arrival of subfreezing temperatures because it is among the least cold tolerant cultivars in the industry. L 12‐201 is resistant to sorghum mosaic, smut, leaf scald, and ratoon stunt; moderately resistant to brown rust; and susceptible to yellow leaf and the sugarcane borer.

The rhythmic and tonal musical abilities in the functional-learning music kindergarten children

Musical abilities include a number of abilities developed under the influence of innate dispositions, environment, maturity, informal music learning experience and formal music education. The paper aims to identify the potential difference between the musical abilities of preschool and early school-age children at the initial and final testing stages and whether there is any difference between the rhythmic and tonal component of their musical abilities in terms of their sex. The survey was conducted on a sample of 70 respondents. The respondents were second-year students of the Elly Bašić Functional-Learning Music Kindergarten in Zagreb. A general information questionnaire was used in the survey, as well as the Gordon Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA) test, as an indispensable measuring tool used to identify the key music potential variables in a timely, reliable and objective manner.The obtained results indicate that the tonal and rhythmic aptitude of the participants in the survey were substantially higher at the final stage of testing with respect to the initial one. Moreover, the sex of the participants in the survey did not prove to be a significant musical aptitude predictor.The author calls for changes to the music school curriculum aimed at integrating preschool music education into the formal music education system.

Evolution of the geometrical and morphological characteristics of splits during fracture toughness test

Split is a brittle stochastic phenomenon sometimes observed in fracture toughness tests of hot rolled steels in T-L and L-T orientations. At present, there is no standard criteria to assess this event in R-curves due, among other things, to the lack of understanding of its characteristics and evolution during the test. This study analyzes the geometrical and morphological characteristics of splits as well as, their evolution and interaction during fracture toughness tests. The tests were performed according to ASTM E1820-20 in DH36 steel using SE(B) specimens in T-L orientation at −60 °C. Split’s geometrical characteristics in the intermediate or final stages of the fracture toughness test were analyzed through Computed Tomography (CT). Also, Scatter Electron Microscopy and Optic Microscopy analysis were performed on the specimen fracture surfaces to study the split’s morphological characteristics. The concomitant occurrence of two splits and micro-splits at the crack growth region are reported. The micro-splits did not cause measurables pop-ins in the load vs. displacement record. CT slices showed that some splits exhibit plane change, branching, and interaction with other splits. These phenomena are not necessarily noticeable on the fracture surface. Also, a split can grow after arrested and present distortion after their occurrence. The sequence of multiple split events can be determined by analyzing both the position on the fracture surface and the degree of distortion of the splits.

Registration of ‘L 11‐183’ sugarcane

Abstract‘L 11‐183’ (Reg. no. CV‐200, PI 698200) sugarcane (interspecific hybrid of Saccharum spp.) was derived from a cross between HoCP 92‐624 as the female and ‘LCP 85‐384’ as the male parent. Early‐stage clonal selection by researchers at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center led to the assignment of a permanent cultivar number in 2011. The cultivar was further evaluated cooperatively with scientists from the USDA–ARS and the American Sugar Cane League. L 11‐183 was jointly released to the Louisiana sugar industry on 11 May 2018. L 11‐183 was released because of its high yield potential compared with ‘HoCP 96‐540’ and ‘L 01‐299’, two of the most widely grown cultivars in Louisiana at the time. In the final testing stage, data were collected from across 12 locations and three crops (plant cane and first and second ratoons) with multiple crop‐years within locations. Combined across locations and crops, L 11‐183 accumulated 5% more cane yield than HoCP 96‐540 but 4% less than L 01‐299. Sucrose yield in L 11‐183 was comparable to that of L 01‐299 but 3% greater than that of HoCP 96‐540. The new cultivar is resistant to smut, moderately resistant to leaf scald, Sugarcane yellow leaf virus, and ratoon stunting, moderately susceptible to brown rust and Sugarcane mosaic virus, and susceptible to the sugarcane borer.

Molecular docking studies of N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamothioyl)-2/4-substituted benzamides as an anti-bacterial inhibitor for E. coli dihydroorotase

In pharmacological studies, it is common that drug molecules fail in the final stages of testing. Human, as well as animal trials, have serious regulatory limitations. An alternate option to test energetically suitable binding conformations of synthesized ligands in a dynamic site cavity of a target receptor is to accomplish a molecular docking study. After carrying out the synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of molecular properties experimentally, to strengthen and investigate the findings further, we have carried out a molecular docking study to conform binding of ligand N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamothioyl)-2/4-substituted benzamides against the protein E. coli dihydroorotase (PDB ID 2eg7). Among the synthesized compounds 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3e are found to have promising antibacterial activity. Moreover, the compound 3a is identified as a potential lead molecule with the lowest binding affinity value.

COVID-19 Vaccination: From Interesting Agent to the Patient.

The vaccination for the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is undergoing its final stages of analysis and testing. It is an impressive feat under the circumstances that we are on the verge of a potential breakthrough vaccination. This will help reduce the stress for millions of people around the globe, helping to restore worldwide normalcy. In this review, the analysis looks into how the new branch of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) came into the forefront of the world like a pandemic. This review will break down the details of what COVID-19 is, the viral family it belongs to and its background of how this family of viruses alters bodily functions by attacking vital human respiratory organs, the circulatory system, the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. This review also looks at the process a new drug analogue undergoes, from (i) being a promising lead compound to (ii) being released into the market, from the drug development and discovery stage right through to FDA approval and aftermarket research. This review also addresses viable reasoning as to why the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine may have taken much less time than normal in order for it to be released for use.

МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ АЭРОДИНАМИЧЕСКИХ ПАРАМЕТРОВ РУЛЕВЫХ ПРИВОДОВ ЗЕНИТНОЙ УПРАВЛЯЕМОЙ РАКЕТЫ

To make a decision on the serial production of anti-aircraft guided missiles, it is necessary to perform a whole range of work ranging from the development of a technical task for the design, manufacture and testing of the finished product. In the final stage of testing at the test site, the anti-aircraft missile is undergoing dynamic tests in accordance with the state test program. For testing at the test site, in addition to on-site tests of missiles using targets to defeat them, various stands and simulators are used, as well as mathematical simulations in cases where inkind tests for some reasons, for example, in order not to incur losses, become impossible, as the prototype of the product submitted for testing can be in a single instance or its application can bring huge destruction to the environment. The article presents the development of an important component of the main stage of the study - the mutual influence of elements of the steering tract and panels of the rudders during dynamic tests of anti-aircraft guided missiles. The results of the work on mathematical and simulation modeling are presented.

Implication of Monoclonal Antibody for COVID-19 Treatment

Coronavirus induced disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic affecting the entire world has continued to pose threat despite nearly a year of its onset. With more than 50 vaccine candidates targeting COVID-19 on trials and 15 at the final stage of testing, wide availability to the general public is still a long way to go. Thus alternative therapeutics is in the progress to minimize the effect of COVID-19. This systematic review evaluated the articles related to immunotherapy for COVID19. PubMed database was used to search for keywords; COVID-19, immunotherapy, and monoclonal antibody for relevant publications of the year 2020. The review was performed based on PRISMA protocol and the final 20 articles were included in the final review. These studies demonstrated that Tocilizumab, the monoclonal antibody that blocks IL6 receptors has improved outcomes in COVID-19 infected patients.

COVID-19: Antiviral Agents, Antibody Development and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the first pandemic caused by coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Currently, there is no effective anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug approved worldwide for treatment of patients with COVID-19. Therapeutic options in response to the COVID-19 outbreak are urgently needed. To facilitate the better and faster development of therapeutic COVID-19 drugs, we present an overview of the global promising therapeutic drugs, including repurposing existing antiviral agents, network-based pharmacology research, antibody development and traditional Chinese medicine. Among all these drugs, we focus on the most promising drugs (such as favipiravir, tocilizumab, SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma, hydroxychloroquine, Lianhua Qingwen, interferon beta-1a, remdesivir, etc.) that have or will enter the final stage of human testing—phase III–IV clinical trials.
