ABSTRACT

Recently, there has been much controversy over the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) regulations regarding eligibility to compete and natural testosterone levels in female athletes. Much interest lies in the analysis of Caster Semenya's extraordinary performance. The objective of this work were, a) Complete an analysis of Caster Semenya's results during the 800m finals and b) search for existing similar performances by other female athletes. We analysed the results of the finals of all IAAF World Championships and Olympic Games from 1984–2016, including the 800m results of the Diamond Leagues 2016–2018. Exponential curves were fit to the data to characterise and predict performance for each event. Caster Semenya's finishing times before her ineligibility to compete and after the suspension of the IAAF hyperandrogenism regulation were found to be 1.24% and 1.49%, respectively, faster than the characteristic performance of the elite-standard in the women’s 800m final. Other female athletes, with finishing times faster than the ones predicted by the characteristic curves were also discovered. The percentage difference in performance between Caster Semenya and the other participants did not reach 3% in the 800m event. No conclusions can be drawn regarding extraordinary results ever performed during the 100m, 200m or 400m finals.  相似文献

The advantage of mixing examples in inductive learning: a comparison of three hypotheses     

Francisco Javier Guzman-Munoz 《教育心理学》2017,37(4):421-437

Mixing examples of different categories (interleaving) has been shown to promote inductive learning as compared with presenting examples of the same category together (massing). In three studies, we tested whether the advantage of interleaving is exclusively due to the mixing of examples from different categories or to the temporal gap introduced between presentations. In addition, we also tested the role of working memory capacity (WMC). Results showed that the mixing of examples might be the key component that determines improved induction. WMC might also be involved in the interleaving effect: participants with high spans seemed to profit more than participants with low spans from interleaved presentations. Our findings have relevant implications for education. Practice schedules should be individually customised so society as a whole can profit from differences between learners.  相似文献   

Changes in kinematics and arm–leg coordination during a 100-m breaststroke swim     

Samuel W. Oxford  Rob S. James  Michael J. Price  Carl J. Payton  Michael J. Duncan 《Journal of sports sciences》2017,35(16):1658-1665

The purpose of this study was to compare arm–leg coordination and kinematics during 100 m breaststroke in 26 (8 female; 18 male) specialist breaststroke swimmers. Laps were recorded using three 50-Hz underwater cameras. Heart rate and blood lactate were measured pre- and post-swim. Arm–leg coordination was defined using coordination phases describing continuity between recovery and propulsive phases of upper and lower limbs: coordination phase 1 (time between end of leg kick and start of the arm pull phases); and coordination phase 2 (time between end of arm pull and start of leg kick phases). Duration of stroke phases, coordination phases, swim velocity, stroke length (SL), stroke rate (SR) and stroke index (SI) were analysed during the last three strokes of each lap that were unaffected by turning or finishing. Significant changes in velocity, SI and SL (P < 0.05) were found between laps. Both sexes showed significant increase (P < 0.05) in heart rate and blood lactate pre- to post-swim. Males had significantly (P < 0.01) faster swim velocities resulting from longer SLs (P = 0.016) with no difference in SR (P = 0.064). Sex differences in kinematic parameters can be explained by anthropometric differences providing males with increased propelling efficiency.  相似文献   

A Syntactic Study on Bare Infinitive and Infinitival to     

LIU Jing 《海外英语》2014,(10):239-240

Infinitives which consist of bare infinitive and infinitival to are imperative in linguistic studies.And both of the two kinds of infinitives do not indicate person,tense and number.This research aims to analyze the properties,similarities and differences between bare infinitive and infinitival to from the perspective of syntax.Thus,it enables us to attain a uniform characterization of the infinitival to and bare infinitive on the syntactic level and help us to understand these two kinds of infinitives better.  相似文献   

The chaotic late Qing and early Republican periods     

Mizoguchi Yūzō 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2016,17(4):574-605

This article excavates some of the core intellectual elements underlying the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and their historical genealogies. Rather than focusing on the modern nature of the revolution, Mizoguchi locates the revolution within the context of traditional Chinese culture and thought. A central focus of the article is the notion of “self-governance” (zizhi), which played a central role in determining the shape the revolution was to ultimately take. It analyzes the social thought of key figures of the Qing period, showing how in modified guise, core Confucian ethical concepts such as the dichotomy between the private (si) and public (gong) as well as utopian concepts such as datong (great harmony) determined the deep structure of revolutionary thought at the end of the Qing and into the Republican and Communist periods.  相似文献

地方政府竞争、环境分权与环境污染--基于两步系统GMM与广义分位数的检验     

冉启英  杨小东  任思雨 《科技管理研究》2020,(9)

随着中国经济发展水平的不断提高,环境分权对环境污染的影响有了新的变化,且这些变化多与地方政府竞争有关,因此本文利用2005-2016年省际面板数据,通过两步SYS-GMM和广义分位数对环境分权和地方政府竞争对环境污染的影响进行实证分析。结果发现：(1) 整体上环境分权、地方政府竞争与环境污染存在显著的正相关性,即环境分权体制下,地方政府竞争对环境的负面效应明显;(2)从不同的分位区间来看,地方政府竞争和环境分权对环境污染的冲击呈现出“促进低污染,抑制高污染”的倒“V”型特征;(3)地方政府竞争和环境分权对环境污染的影响在“东-中-西”空间分布上表现出抑制到促进的阶梯型转变。因此“央-地”政府应当利用现中国经济转型的战略机遇,进一步深化环境分权制度和地方政府竞争激励机制的改革,协调政府行为和环境之间的关系,为中国环境事业添砖加瓦。  相似文献   

差别定价的产业用地供应策略对产业结构升级的影响——基于中国277个城市的实证分析   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

唐宇娣  朱道林  程建  李瑶瑶  宋洋 《资源科学》2020,42(3):548-557

“以地谋发展”模式下,地方政府主导土地配置,采取“低工业、高商住”的产业用地出让策略,实现了产业结构升级和经济增长的目标。然而,中国经济转型期,曾经推动产业结构升级的供地策略可能不再适应新时期发展要求。本文从理论出发,剖析地方政府供地逻辑,分析差别定价的产业用地供应策略在不同经济发展水平下对产业结构升级的影响差异,提出相应假说,基于门槛回归模型,并利用2011—2016年中国277个城市产业用地供应数据进行实证检验。结果表明,产业用地价格差异对产业结构升级的影响会随经济发展水平不同呈非线性关系,随着经济发展水平的提高,差别定价的产业用地供应策略对产业结构升级的影响效应将由正转负;产业用地供应向商住用地倾斜而产生的产业用地结构错配会显著抑制产业结构升级;提高土地出让市场化程度,降低土地财政依赖则有利于提升产业结构。据此本文建议,地方政府在制定产业用地供应策略时,要充分考虑所处的社会经济环境,而在参与土地市场活动时,要明确自身干预经济的局限性,更多地培育有效市场,注重提高土地市场化程度,避免过度依赖土地财政。  相似文献
