This Participatory Action Research (PAR) project worked with four active street life oriented U. S. Born African men, to document
how a community sample of street life oriented U. S. Born African men between the ages of 16–65, frame and use “street life”
as a Site of Resiliency (Payne, Dissertation, 2005; Journal of Black Psychology 34(1):3–31, 2008). Qualitative data was collected in the form of 20 individual and two group interviews. These data reveal an inter-generational,
conceptualization and use, of the term “street love” in street life oriented U. S. born African men. Also, these data reveal
that notions of “street love” extend out a critique of community professionals (e.g., community researchers/interventionists,
social workers, etc.) as being unable and unwilling to produce “real help” in the local community. Examples of street love,
revealed in the study, include the men offering advice/counsel, money or “free turkeys” during Thanksgiving to one another
as well as other members of the local community. Results support Payne’s (2005) three-dimension conceptualization of “street love”: (1) individual, (2) group and (3) communal level expressions of “street
love”.

The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of an Olympic-Weightlifting session training at three times of the day on the performance related to biochemical responses. Nine weightlifters (21 ± 0.5 years) performed, in randomised order, on three Olympic-Weightlifting training (snatch, clean and jerk) sessions (08:00 a.m., 02:00 p. m., 06:00 p. m.). Blood samples were collected: before, 3 min and 48 h after each training session. Haematological parameters and markers of muscle injury were assessed. Resting oral temperature and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were also assessed during each session. ANOVA showed that the performance was better (P < 0.001) at 02:00 p. m. with a less RPE (P < 0.01) compared to the morning and the evening sessions while there was higher (P < 0.05) oral temperature at 06:00 p. m. versus 08:00 a.m. and 02:00 p. m. Muscle damage changed immediately (without significant effect after 48 h) after the training sessions with lower values ??in the evening compared to the morning. In conclusion, the afternoon training is more effective than morning or evening sessions for weightlifters. Therefore, coaches and weightlifters should be advised to schedule their training session in the afternoon hour. 相似文献

This paper will offer some insights into possible ways to optimise the blended learning environment based on experience with this modality of teaching at Arab Open University/Jordan branch and also by reflecting upon the results of several meta-analytical studies, which have shown blended learning environments to be more effective than their face to face and online only counterparts. Three key elements will be presented as important ways for improving the blended learning environment: forging genuine collaborative partnerships between institutions in terms of the team-writing of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) material, adopting a more theoretically based instructional approach, such as the cognitive apprenticeship (CA) model, which emphasises making thinking visible and developing a comprehensive understanding of blended education in order to help students achieve their educational goals. 相似文献

High performance multiphase motor drive requires precise knowledge of the state quantities and the machine parameters. Access to these state quantities is through measurement using sensors whose accuracy is paramount to achieve the performance level required by industrial applications. However, the problems of the parameters variations, inaccessibility to the measurement of some states, no-observability of the machine in some regions, the cost of the sensors and their lack of precision, make this very difficult task. To address these problems, it is necessary to resort to soft sensors through the design of observers and estimators. In multiphase induction motor drive, the observation problem arises especially for rotor flux that is not accessible for measurement. About the parameters variations, the rotor resistance and the stator resistance are the most critical parameters of the machine because their influence is crucial for the control and observation. The change in the resistances can be as large as 40–50% of the rated value, which may affect the control adversely. This paper develops a new structure of an adaptive sliding mode observer based on an online estimation of the rotor resistance value in order to avoid the effect of its variation in the rotor flux oriented control. The results show convergent (the errors in the transient and steady states are 5% and 1%, respectively) behavior of the drive using the proposed control scheme for large rotor resistance variation under loaded condition. The stability of the drive is proved using Lyapunov criteria. The simulation results are validated using real time implementation. 相似文献

The behavioural modifications that accompany Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) are usually associated with some alterations in the metabolic, physiological, and psychological responses of athletes that may affect sport performance. Muslim athletes who are required to train and/or compete during the month-long, diurnal fast must adopt coping strategies that allow them to maintain physical fitness and motivation if they are to perform at the highest level. This updated review aims to present the current state of knowledge of the effects of RIF on training and performance, focusing on key-factors that contribute to the effects of Ramadan on exercise performance: energy restriction, sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm perturbation, dehydration, and alterations in the training load. The available literature contain few studies that have examined the effects of RIF on physical performance in athletes and, to date, the results are inconclusive, so the effects of RIF on competition outcomes are not at present wholly understood. The diverse findings probably indicate individual differences in the adaptability and self-generated coping strategies of athletes during fasting and training. However, the results of the small number of well-controlled studies that have examined the effects of Ramadan on athletic performance suggest that few aspects of physical fitness are negatively affected, and where decrements are observed these are usually modest. Subjective feelings of fatigue and other mood indicators are often cited as implying additional stress on the athlete throughout Ramadan, but most studies show that these factors may not result in decreases in performance and that perceived exercise intensity is unlikely to increase to any significant degree. Current evidence from good, well-controlled research supports the conclusion that athletes who maintain their total energy and macronutrient intake, training load, body composition, and sleep length and quality are unlikely to suffer any substantial decrements in performance during Ramadan. Further research is required to determine the effect of RIF on the most challenging events or exercise protocols and on elite athletes competing in extreme environments. 相似文献

The study is aimed at predicting objective criteria based on a statistically tested model for admitting undergraduate students to Beirut University College. The University is faced with a dual problem of having to select only a fraction of an increasing number of applicants, and of trying to minimize the number of students placed on academic probation (currently 36 percent of new admissions). Out of 659 new students, a sample of 272 students (45 percent) were selected; these were all the students on the Dean's list and on academic probation. With academic performance as the dependent variable, the model included ten independent variables and their interactions. These variables included the type of high school, the language of instruction in high school, recommendations, sex, academic average in high school, score on the English Entrance Examination, the major in high school, and whether the major was originally applied for by the student. Discriminant analysis was used to evaluate the relative weight of the independent variables, and from the analysis three equations were developed, one for each academic division in the College. The predictive power of these equations was tested by using them to classify students not in the selected sample into successful and unsuccessful ones. Applicability of the model to other institutions of higher learning is discussed.
Zusammenfassung In Dieser Studie wird versucht, objektive, auf einem statistisch getesteten Modell basierende Kriterien zur Zulassung von Studenten zum Beirut University College herauszufinden. Diese Hochschule muß sich mit zwei Problemen auseinandersetzen, zum ersten nur einen Teil der wachsenden Zahl von Bewerbern zulassen zu können und zum zweiten die Anzahl der Studenten auf akademischer Probezeit zu reduzieren (gegenwärtig 36% der Neuzulassungen). Von 659 neuen Studenten wurden 272 Studenten (45%) fur die Studie ausgewählt: alle vom Dekan erwählte Studenten und Studenten auf akademischer Probezeit. Das Modell beinhaltet zehn unabhängige Variablen und ihre Interaktionen und basiert auf akademischer Leistung als abhängige Variable. Unter diesen Variablen sind: die Art der Sekundarschule, die Lehrsprache an der Sekundarschule, Empfehlungen, Geschlecht, Sekundarschulnoten, Leistungen beim English Entrance Examination (Leistungstest in Englisch), das Hauptfach der Schüler und ob das Hauptfach das vom Schüler ursprünglich gewählte ist. Die statistische Analyse wurde zur Bewertung der relativen Bedeutung der unabhängigen Variablen angewandt, und es wurden drei Gleichungen aus der Analyse entwickelt; eine für jede akademische Abteilung der Hochschule. Die Gültigkeit dieser Gleichungen wurde getestet, indem man sie für die Aufteilung von nicht in die Studie einbezogenen Studenten in erfolgreiche und nicht erfolgreiche Studenten anwandte. Abschließend wird die Anwendbarkeit des Modells auf andere Einrichtungen der Höheren Bildung diskutiert.
Résumé La présente étude vise à prédire les critères objectifs fondés sur un modèle statistiquement vérifié pour l'admission des étudiants à l'Université de Beyrouth. Cette dernière fait face à un problème dual: devoir sélectionner une fraction seulement d'un nombre croissant de candidats et essayer de minimiser le nombre d'étudiants inscrits à l'essai (soit actuellement 36 pour cent des nouvelles admissions). On a sélectionné un échantillon de 272 étudiants sur 659 nouveaux inscrits (soit 45 pour cent). Ces étudiants étaient tous ceux inscrits sur la liste du doyen ainsi que ceux inscrits à l'essai. Avec la performance scolaire comme variable dépendante, ce modèle comptait dix variables indépendantes et leurs interactions. Ces variables incluaient le type d'école supérieure, la langue d'enseignement pratiquée dans celle-ci, les recommandations, le sexe, la moyenne scolaire, la note obtenue à l'épreuve d'anglais de l'examen d'entrée, la matière principale à l'école supérieure, et indiquaient si cette matière avait été choisie par le candidat. On a utilisé F analyse discriminante pour évaluer le poids relatif des variables indépendantes. On a ensuite développé trois équations à partir de ces variables, une pour chacune des sections du collège universitaire. La force prédictive de ces équations a été testée en les employant pour classer les étudiants ne faisant pas partie de l'échantillon sélectionné en deux catégories: ceux ayant réussi et ceux ayant échoué. On discute de l'applicabilité de ce modèle à d'autres instituts d'enseignement supérieur.相似文献

AbstractThis study investigated the interaction between emotion-eliciting pictures and power output during a repetitive supra-maximal task on a cycle ergometre. Twelve male participants (mean (±SD) age, height and weight: 28.58 ± 3.23 years, 1.78 ± 0.05 m and 82.41 ± 13.29 kg) performed 5 repeated sprint tests on a cycle ergometre in front of neutral, pleasant or unpleasant pictures. For each sprint, mechanical (peak power and work), physiological (heart rate) and perceptual (affective load) indices were analysed. Affective load was calculated from the ratings of perceived exertion, which reflected the amount of pleasant and unpleasant responses experienced during exercise. The results showed that peak power, work and heart rate values were significantly lower (P < 0.05) for unpleasant pictures (9.18 ± 0.20 W ? kg?1; 47.69 ± 1.08 J ? kg?1; 152 ± 4 bpm) when compared with pleasant ones (9.50 ± 0.20 W ? kg?1; 50.11 ± 0.11 J ? kg?1; 156 ± 3 bpm). Furthermore, the affective load was found to be similar for the pleasant and unpleasant sessions. All together, these results suggested that the ability to produce maximal power output depended on whether the emotional context was pleasant or unpleasant. The fact that the power output was lower in the unpleasant versus pleasant session could reflect a regulatory process aimed at maintaining a similar level of affective load for both sessions. 相似文献

Cell fusion consists of inducing the formation of a hybridoma cell containing the genetic properties of the progenitor cells. Such an operation is usually performed chemically or electrically. The latter method, named electrofusion, is considered as having a strong potential, due to its efficiency and non-toxicity, but deserves further investigations prior to being applicable for key applications like antibody production and cancer immunotherapy. Indeed, to envision such applications, a high amount of hybrid cells is needed. In this context, we present in this paper a device for massive cell pairing and electrofusion, using a microarray of non-connected conductive pads. The electrofusion chamber––or channel––exposes cells to an inhomogeneous electric field, caused by the pads array, enabling the trapping and pairing of cells with dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces prior to electrofusion. Compared to a mechanical trapping, such electric trapping is fully reversible (on/off handling). The DEP force is contactless and thus eases the release of the produced hybridoma. Moreover, the absence of wire connections on the pads permits the high density trapping and electrofusion of cells. In this paper, the electric field mapping, the effect of metallic pads thickness, and the transmembrane potential of cells are studied based on a numerical model to optimize the device. Electric calculations and experiments were conducted to evaluate the trapping force. The structure was finally validated for cell pairing and electrofusion of arrays of cells. We believe that our approach of fully electric trapping with a simple structure is a promising method for massive production of electrofused hybridoma. 相似文献

This study used the continuing bonds model, which describes the process of loss and mourning, to build a theory about the acculturation process of US expatriates. We examined six case studies of US expatriates permanently residing and working in Egypt. Participants were interviewed about the loss of their US culture and their cultural experiences in Egypt. All participants acknowledged losing aspects of their US culture, and kept continuing bonds with it, but these bonds took different forms depending on the way they responded to their loss and the way they negotiated the influences of both host and native cultures. We present three of these case studies in this paper due to space limitations. One participant believed that his continuing bonds might be imagined or outdated and used religion to avoid the influences of both US and Egyptian cultures in his life. Another participant used his continuing bonds to inspire marginalized Egyptians and refugees. The third participant used his continuing bonds to isolate himself from the Egyptian culture and lead an exclusive American lifestyle. External factors such as political climate of host country, family members, privilege, circumstances of coming to Egypt, and age influenced the mourning process. 相似文献
