Living Library: Care-Arbeit sichtbar machen
No full textCare-Arbeit ist allgegenwärtig und essenziell, gleichzeitig aber oft unsichtbar und unbezahlt. Um auf das Thema aufmerksam zu machen, hat ein interdisziplinäres Team der BFH betroffene Menschen gefragt: Wie fühlt es sich an, wenn man auf Care-Arbeit angewiesen ist

Slash and Burn Agriculture, Effects of
No full textSlash-and-burn is a generic term for agricultural systems in which the fallow vegetation is slashed, left to dry and burned before cultivating crops. Currently, 200–500 million people worldwide use slash-and-burn agriculture, and it has been estimated to cover 259 million hectares. Slash-and-burn agriculture can be sustainable if cropping phases are short and fallow length sufficient to attain full recovery of the vegetation and soil properties before another cycle. Both, destruction of the vegetation and fire are detrimental for biodiversity. However, the effects are modified by the amount of fallow biomass burned, burn intensity, relative length of the cropping and the spatial scale of burning
Bilateral neuromuscular control in patients one year after unilateral ACL rupture or reconstruction: A cross-sectional study
Full text linkObjectives
To compare bilateral neuromuscular control in patients one year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) or conservative treatment (ACL-C) to healthy controls (ACL-I).
Design
Cross-sectional study.
Setting
Electromyography of vastus medialis (VM) and lateralis (VL), biceps femoris (BF) and semitendinosus (ST) was recorded during stair descent and anterior tibial translation. Each step of stair descent was divided into pre-activity, weight-acceptance and push-off phase. Pre-activation, short, medium (MLR) and long latency responses (LLR) were defined for reflex activity.
Participants
N = 38 patients one year after ACL reconstruction (ACL-R), N = 26 participants with conservative treatment one year after ACL rupture (ACL-C), N = 38 healthy controls with an intact ACL (ACL-I).
Main outcome measures
Normalized root mean squares per muscle and phase (α = 0.05).
Results
During stair descent, within-group leg differences were found for the quadriceps in ACL-R during all phases and for the BF in ACL-C during weight-acceptance. Between-group leg differences were found for BF in both patient groups compared to ACL-I during push-off.
Between-group differences in pre-activation for VM between ACL-R and ACL-C, and between ACL-C and ACL-I were found, and as LLR between patients and ACL-R versus ACL-I. Pre-activation of BF and MLR of ST differed for each patient group compared to ACL-I.
Conclusions
Bilateral neuromuscular alterations are still present one year after ACL rupture or reconstruction

Is blinding in studies of manual soft tissue mobilisation of the back possible? A feasibility randomised controlled trial with Swiss graduate students
Full text linkStudy design
Single-centre, two-parallel group, methodological randomised controlled trial to assess blinding feasibility.
Background
Trials of manual therapy interventions of the back face methodological challenges regarding blinding feasibility and success. We assessed the feasibility of blinding an active manual soft tissue mobilisation and control intervention of the back. We also assessed whether blinding is feasible among outcome assessors and explored factors influencing perceptions about intervention assignment.
Methods
On 7–8 November 2022, 24 participants were randomly allocated (1:1 ratio) to active or control manual interventions of the back. The active group (n = 11) received soft tissue mobilisation of the lumbar spine. The control group (n = 13) received light touch over the thoracic region with deep breathing exercises. The primary outcome was blinding of participants immediately after a one-time intervention session, as measured by the Bang blinding index (Bang BI). Bang BI ranges from –1 (complete opposite perceptions of intervention received) to 1 (complete correct perceptions), with 0 indicating ‘random guessing’—alanced ‘active’ and ‘control’ perceptions within an intervention arm. Secondary outcomes included blinding of outcome assessors and factors influencing perceptions about intervention assignment among both participants and outcome assessors, explored via thematic analysis.
Results
24 participants were analysed following an intention-to-treat approach. 55% of participants in the active manual soft tissue mobilisation group correctly perceived their group assignment beyond chance immediately after intervention (Bang BI: 0.55 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.25 to 0.84]), and 8% did so in the control group (0.08 [95% CI, −0.37 to 0.53]). Bang BIs in outcome assessors were 0.09 (−0.12 to 0.30) and −0.10 (−0.29 to 0.08) for active and control participants, respectively. Participants and outcome assessors reported varying factors related to their perceptions about intervention assignment
