Sports and Physical Fitness: An application of Factor Analysis for developing a test battery
No full textThis study was undertaken to develop the test battery for measuring physical fitness of Indian boys among the age group of 9 to 12 years. The sample consisted of 100 boys from different Schools in India. Twentyone test items were selected for this study covering speed, strength, agility, balance, flexibility and endurance. The data obtained from 21 tests were subjected to two types of analysis. Under descriptive analysis, various measures were computed in order to have an idea about the characteristics of all the 21 test items. Secondly, Factor analysis was applied by using the principal component analysis and the final solution so obtained was used to identify the different factors of general fitness. These factors were given an appropriate name depending upon the characteristics of variables it contained. Finally, the test battery for measuring general fitness was developed by picking up one or two variables from each factor, having the highest loading. The battery thus constituted the following test items: 50 Mts. dash for speed, Standing Broad Jump for Power, 1 Min. Situps for Strength, Stork Balance on Bass Stick and 8 Min. Run/Walk test for endurance

Itara Walker 1869
No full textSubgenus Itara Walker, 1869 Itara (Itara) Gorochov. 1997. Zoosystematica Rossica 6 (1–2): 49, Note: key to subgenera. Type species: Itara sericea Walker, by original monotypy Diagnosis (Gorochov, 1997). According to Gorochov, subgenus Itara is more similar to Phormincter and Gryllitara but following variations are observed in the male genitalia, especially in epiphallus with three distal processes, middle one undivided, but longer than lateral processes and a pair of medium sized lateral processes; apical part of ectoparameres are C-shaped or sometimes slightly differently shaped. At present this subgenus includes 15 species world-wide ( Cigliano et al., 2021).Published as part of Meena, Ashok Kumar, Swaminathan, Rajamani, Nagar, Rajendra, Chhangani, Gaurang & Kumar, Kuldeep, 2021, Record of the subgenus, Gryllitara Chopard, 1931 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Itarinae) and description of a new species from India, pp. 493-500 in Zootaxa 5072 (5) on page 496, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5072.5.6, http://zenodo.org/record/574908
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Gryllitara Chopard 1931
No full textSubgenus Gryllitara Chopard, 1931 Gryllitara Chopard. 1931. Bull. Raffles Museum 6:138. Chopard, 1969: 325. Itara (Gryllitara) Gorochov. 1997. Zoosystematica Rossica 6 (1–2): 49. Type species: Gryllitara pendleburyi Chopard Diagnosis (Gorochov, 1997). Male tegmina with large and slightly transverse mirror; all oblique veins normal, but the distal part of longest of them forming a small cell. Male genitalia with large epiphallus and small spermatophore sac; epiphallus with 3 distal processes; unpaired medial very long (with smooth and characteristically curved apical part) and short paired lateral processes; upper surface of epiphallus without denticles; ectoparameres dilated in proximal part and narrowing towards apex, but not extending at apex of medial process of epiphallus. In the subgenus Gryllitara, the described 5 species are especially in the region of Asia-tropical (Malaysia) and Asia-Temperate (China) (Cigliano et al., 2021).Published as part of Meena, Ashok Kumar, Swaminathan, Rajamani, Nagar, Rajendra, Chhangani, Gaurang & Kumar, Kuldeep, 2021, Record of the subgenus, Gryllitara Chopard, 1931 (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Itarinae) and description of a new species from India, pp. 493-500 in Zootaxa 5072 (5) on page 495, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5072.5.6, http://zenodo.org/record/574908
