The Literary Movement of Dany Laferrière; Francophone Literary History and the Future of French Literature- Brady Welvaert
No full textHaitian-Canadian-American author Dany Laferrière breaks the bonds of literary terms of categorization. In North America, French-language literature has a history of isolation and suppression, but the literature from Dany Laferrière pushes past boundaries placed by those who seek to categorize him. Laferrière, who identifies as “American” and wants to be seen as nothing else, seeks to embody an American identity in context of all of North America. But is there a sense of unity throughout North America despite borders, whether they are of countries our linguistic? Additionally, his election to the French Academy merits some questions worth addressing, considering a history of disinterest and even condescending attitudes toward the Haitian community

Welvaert et al. Bogong moth and Common Koel surveillance
No full textThe EXCEL datasheets "Common Moth", "Common Koel 1", "Common Koel 2", Common Koel 3", "Symp Moth 1", "Symp Moth2", "Symp Koel 1", "Symp Koel 2", "Symp Koel 3", and "Symp Koel 4" are relevance summaries (0=non-relevant, 1=relevant) of de-identified tweets (from Twitter). Tweets were produced using the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisations Emergency Situation Awareness (ESA) system. They are derived by the searches defined within the associated manuscript. The survey data of Bogong Moth data are field data collected from the summit ridge of Mount Gingera, Brindabella Ranges, Australia.

The effects of football match congestion in an international tournament on hip adductor squeeze strength and pain in elite youth players
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a congested international tournament match schedule on adductor strength and pain in elite youth football players. Twenty-two male players (age: 15.53 ± 0.48 years, height: 174.87 ± 7.59 cm, weight: 67.45 ± 7.40 kg) were included. The 5-second adductor squeeze strength was captured daily using a hand-held dynamometer during a 7-game international tournament. Pain during the squeeze test was recorded using numerical pain ratings (0-10) to quantify groin pain. Sessional rate of perceived exertion (sRPE) was collected during the tournament. Adductor strength changed significantly during the tournament in relation to time (F(14,294.94) = 1.89, p = 0.027) and cumulative sRPE (F(1,314) = 5.59, p = 0.019). Cumulative sRPE displayed a negative relationship with strength (B = -0.008, SE = 0.0032, 95%CI = -0.014,-0.002). The results indicate that for every 100 match sRPE arbitrary units the squeeze peak force reduced by 0.8N. Sixteen (72.7%) players demonstrated clinically meaningful strength reductions (>15%) during the tournament. Match congestion impacts on hip adductor squeeze strength in male youth football players. A negative relationship between match sRPE and adductor strength exists. Player monitoring involving the 5-second adductor squeeze test can be captured effectively and is suitable to include as part of secondary injury prevention during or immediately after a congested tournament.</p

Crisis of confidence averted: Impairment of exercise economy and performance in elite race walkers by ketogenic low carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) diet is reproducible.
No full textINTRODUCTION:We repeated our study of intensified training on a ketogenic low-carbohydrate (CHO), high-fat diet (LCHF) in world-class endurance athletes, with further investigation of a "carryover" effect on performance after restoring CHO availability in comparison to high or periodised CHO diets. METHODS:After Baseline testing (10,000 m IAAF-sanctioned race, aerobic capacity and submaximal walking economy) elite male and female race walkers undertook 25 d supervised training and repeat testing (Adapt) on energy-matched diets: High CHO availability (8.6 g∙kg-1∙d-1 CHO, 2.1 g∙kg-1∙d-1 protein; 1.2 g∙kg-1∙d-1 fat) including CHO before/during/after workouts (HCHO, n = 8): similar macronutrient intake periodised within/between days to manipulate low and high CHO availability at various workouts (PCHO, n = 8); and LCHF (<50 g∙d-1 CHO; 78% energy as fat; 2.1 g∙kg-1∙d-1 protein; n = 10). After Adapt, all athletes resumed HCHO for 2.5 wk before a cohort (n = 19) completed a 20 km race. RESULTS:All groups increased VO2peak (ml∙kg-1∙min-1) at Adapt (p = 0.02, 95%CI: [0.35-2.74]). LCHF markedly increased whole-body fat oxidation (from 0.6 g∙min-1 to 1.3 g∙min-1), but also the oxygen cost of walking at race-relevant velocities. Differences in 10,000 m performance were clear and meaningful: HCHO improved by 4.8% or 134 s (95% CI: [207 to 62 s]; p < 0.001), with a trend for a faster time (2.2%, 61 s [-18 to +144 s]; p = 0.09) in PCHO. LCHF were slower by 2.3%, -86 s ([-18 to -144 s]; p < 0.001), with no evidence of superior "rebound" performance over 20 km after 2.5 wk of HCHO restoration and taper. CONCLUSION:Our previous findings of impaired exercise economy and performance of sustained high-intensity race walking following keto-adaptation in elite competitors were repeated. Furthermore, there was no detectable benefit from undertaking an LCHF intervention as a periodised strategy before a 2.5-wk race preparation/taper with high CHO availability.
