Self-Perceptions of Proximal Stability as Measured by the Functional Movement Screen
This mixed method study was designed to investigate self-perceptions before and after experiencing an activity that dynamically and statically challenges proximal stability of the pelvis, spine, and trunk. Twenty-eight, healthy Division II female soccer and volleyball collegiate players (17 soccer, 11 volley-ball) completed a self-reported Tegner activity scale, pretest questionnaire and posttest interview. A self-perceived numeric rating of the athletesβ proximal stability and performance on a functional movement screen (FMS) were recorded. A guided interview was used to examine the self perceptions of proximal stability after the FMS testing session. Differences and correlations between the pretest and posttest ratings of proximal stability and FMS scores were analyzed using a 1-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Spearmanβs rank order correlation test, respectively. Residual standard error from a 1-way analysis of variance was used to explore the association between variables. Qualitative data were recorded and transcribed. There were significant differences between the pretest (3.4 6 0.63) and posttest ratings (3.16 0.49) of proximal stability (p= 0.01). The relationship between the pretest proximal stability ratings and the FMS scores was low (r=0.19, p = 0.33), whereas posttest rating and FMS scores had a moderately high (r= 0.68, p= 0.00) correlation. There was a smaller residual standard error for the posttest ratings (1.7) when compared with the pretest ratings (3.2) with the FMS. Four qualitative themes emerged: (a) wanting to do well, (b) expectations of performance, (c) focused mental mindset, and (d) body control. Self-perceptions of proximal stability in female athletes were influenced by undergoing a test that stressed the proximal stabilizers. Combining assessments of self-perceptions and proximal stability may assist clinicians and athletes in targeting components of training
Assessment of Synaptic Function During Short-Term Facilitation in Motor Nerve Terminals in the Crayfish
An enhanced buildup of [Ca2+]i occurs during short-term facilitation (STF) at the crayfish neuromuscular junction (NMJ). As a model system, this NMJ allows discrete postsynaptic quantal events to be counted and characterized in relation to STF. Providing 10 pulses, at 20 and 40Hz, we monitored postsynaptic quantal events over a discrete region of a nerve terminal with a focal macropatch electrode. Characteristics of quantal events were clustered into groups by peak amplitude and time to the peak amplitude. Since the synapses at this NMJ have varied spacing of active zones, number of active zones and synaptic size, the graded nature of synaptic recruitment is likely one means of titrating synaptic efficacy for the graded depolarization on the non-spiking muscle fiber. Synapses in this preparation would appear to have a quantal signature that can be used for quantifying their activity which is useful in estimating the overall number of active sites. We use mixture modeling to estimate n (number of active sites) and p (probability of vesicle fusion) from the quantal characteristics. In a preparation that was stimulated at 40Hz, synapses were recruited (increase in n) and the number active synapses increased in p. In a different preparation, p increased as the stimulation was changed from 20 to 40Hz, but n did not show a substantial increase; however, during the STF train, p increases slightly. This study provides a novel approach in determining subsets of the single evoked quanta to better estimate n and p which describe synaptic function
The contribution of the European Society for Soil Conservation (ESSC) to scientific knowledge, education and sustainability
Soil is an integral component of the global environmental system that supports the quality and diversity of
terrestrial life on Earth. Therefore, it is vital to consider the processes and impacts of soil degradation on society,
especially on the provision of environmental goods and services, including food security and climate change
mitigation and adaptation. Scientific societies devoted to Soil Science play significant roles in promoting soil
security by advancing scientific knowledge, education and environmental sustainability.
The European Society for Soil Conservation (ESSC) was founded in Ghent (Belgium) on 4 November
1988 by a group of 23 researchers from several European countries. It is an interdisciplinary, non-political
association with over 500 members in 56 countries. The ESSC produces and distributes a hardcopy Newsletter
twice a year and maintains both a website and Facebook page:
http://www.soilconservation.eu/
https://www.facebook.com/European-Society-for-Soil-Conservation-ESSC-100528363448094/
The ESSC aims to:
\u2022 Support research on soil degradation, soil protection and soil and water conservation.
\u2022 Provide a network for the exchange of knowledge about soil degradation processes and soil conservation research
and practises.
\u2022 Produce publications on major issues relating to soil degradation and soil and water conservation.
\u2022 Advise regulators and policy-makers on soil issues, especially soil degradation, protection and conservation.
The ESSC held its First International Congress in Silsoe (UK) in 1992. Further International Congresses
were held in Munich (1996), Valencia (2000), Budapest (2004), Palermo (2007), Thessaloniki (2011)
and Moscow (2015). The Eighth International Congress will be held in Lleida (Spain) in June 2017:
http://www.consowalleida2017.com/
Interspersed between these international congresses, the ESSC organizes annual international conferences
on specific topics. These include Imola, Italy (Biogeochemical Processes at Air-Soil-Water Interfaces and
Environmental Protection) in 2015 and Cluj-Napoca, Romania (Soil: Our Common Future) in 2016. Since its
inception, the Society has made significant advances, including developing a strong and growing global network
of soil scholars.
The ESSC honours major individual contributions to soil conservation through two awards made every
four years at its Congresses, namely:
\u2022 The \u2018Gerold Richter Award,\u2019 awarded to a person who has, over their career, made significant and internationally
recognized contributions to the investigation and/or promotion of soil conservation in Europe.
\u2022 The \u2018Young Person\u2019s Award\u2019 is presented to a member of the Society, aged 40 years or less, who over
the previous four years has made important contributions to soil conservation in Europe through research, practise,
policy-making or another relevant activity.
The ESSC provides grants to young members to attend its conferences and promotes the organization of
scientific meetings, soil conservation research, and co-operation between numerous institutions and individuals
on soil conservation initiatives. The societal challenges that can be addressed through better soil protection, as
well as developing new knowledge and scientific approaches to soil protection and sustainable management, mean
the ESSC embraces the on-going development, application, review and criticism of highly innovative scientific
methods for soil conservation. It is in this context that the ESSC analyses and publicizes the roles and functions
of soil in natural and human-modified systems and the functional optimization of soils to ensure sustainable
environmental protection
Use of historical control data for assessing treatment effects in clinical trials
Clinical trials rarely, if ever, occur in a vacuum. Generally, large amounts of clinical data are available prior to the start of a study, particularly on the current studyβs control arm. There is obvious appeal in using (i.e., βborrowingβ) this information. With historical data providing information on the control arm, more trial resources can be devoted to the novel treatment while retaining accurate estimates of the current control arm parameters. This can result in more accurate point estimates, increased power, and reduced type I error in clinical trials, provided the historical information is sufficiently similar to the current control data. If this assumption of similarity is not satisfied, however, one can acquire increased mean square error of point estimates due to bias and either reduced power or increased type I error depending on the direction of the bias. In this manuscript, we review several methods for historical borrowing, illustrating how key parameters in each method affect borrowing behavior, and then, we compare these methods on the basis of mean square error, power and type I error. We emphasize two main themes. First, we discuss the idea of βdynamicβ (versus βstaticβ) borrowing. Second, we emphasize the decision process involved in determining whether or not to include historical borrowing in terms of the perceived likelihood that the current control arm is sufficiently similar to the historical data. Our goal is to provide a clear review of the key issues involved in historical borrowing and provide a comparison of several methods useful for practitioners

Self-Perceptions of Proximal Stability as Measured by the Functional Movement Screen
This mixed method study was designed to investigate self-perceptions before and after experiencing an activity that dynamically and statically challenges proximal stability of the pelvis, spine, and trunk. Twenty-eight, healthy Division II female soccer and volleyball collegiate players (17 soccer, 11 volleyball) completed a self-reported Tegner activity scale, pretest questionnaire and posttest interview. A self-perceived numeric rating of the athletesβ proximal stability and performance on a functional movement screen (FMS) were recorded. A guided interview was used to examine the self-perceptions of proximal stability after the FMS testing session. Differences and correlations between the pretest and posttest ratings of proximal stability and FMS scores were analyzed using a 1-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Spearmanβs rank order correlation test, respectively. Residual standard error from a 1-way analysis of variance was used to explore the association between variables. Qualitative data were recorded and transcribed. There were significant differences between the pretest (3.4 Β± 0.63) and posttest ratings (3.1 Β± 0.49) of proximal stability (p = 0.01). The relationship between the pretest proximal stability ratings and the FMS scores was low (r = 0.19, p = 0.33), whereas posttest rating and FMS scores had a moderately high (r = 0.68, p = 0.00) correlation. There was a smaller residual standard error for the posttest ratings (1.7) when compared with the pretest ratings (3.2) with the FMS. Four qualitative themes emerged: (a) wanting to do well, (b) expectations of performance, (c) focused mental mindset, and (d) body control. Self-perceptions of proximal stability in female athletes were influenced by undergoing a test that stressed the proximal stabilizers. Combining assessments of self-perceptions and proximal stability may assist clinicians and athletes in targeting components of training
Random matrix approach to the dynamics of stock inventory variations
We study the cross-correlation matrix of inventory variations of the most active individual and institutional investors in an emerging market to understand the dynamics of inventory variations. We find that the distribution of cross-correlation coefficient has a power-law form in the bulk followed by exponential tails and there are more positive coefficients than negative ones. In addition, it is more possible that two individuals or two institutions have stronger inventory variation correlation than one individual and one institution. We find that the largest and the second largest eigenvalues ( and ) of the correlation matrix cannot be explained by the random matrix theory and the projection of inventory variations on the first eigenvector are linearly correlated with stock returns, where individual investors play a dominating role. The investors are classified into three categories based on the cross-correlation coefficients between inventory variations and stock returns. Half individuals are reversing investors who exhibit evident buy and sell herding behaviors, while 6% individuals are trending investors. For institutions, only 10% and 8% investors are trending and reversing investors. A strong Granger causality is unveiled from stock returns to inventory variations, which means that a large proportion of individuals hold the reversing trading strategy and a small part of individuals hold the trending strategy. Comparing with the case of Spanish market, Chinese investors exhibit common and market-specific behaviors. Our empirical findings have scientific significance in the understanding of investors' trading behaviors and in the construction of agent-based models for stock markets.
