Address Terms of Brotherhood in the Indian Online Gaming Community
ABSTRACT Indian gamers are part of the Indian society as well as a globalised gaming community. To navigate this cultural dissonance, they can use address terms to reflect and create their double or divided identities. This article investigates forms and functions of kinship terms that are connected to the concept of brother ‘male sibling’, for example,

The Indian English Complaint Tradition: ‘Old Chestnuts’ and New Perspectives
ABSTRACT English usage in India has been the target of a linguistic complaint tradition ‘which has taken the form of complaint about so‐called mis‐use of language and linguistic decline’ since the 19th century. The Indian English (IndE) complaint tradition in the 21st century has shifted from colonial to postcolonial in that IndE usage is now targeted ...

A KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF JERK TECHMQUE IN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING
It has been reported that the majority of failures in the performance of the clean and jerk lift in weight lifting competition, including the Olympic Games, are due to unsuccessful jerks.

Abstract The effects of muscle disuse on the propagation of action potentials along motor unit (MU) muscle fibres, a key process for effective muscle activation and force generation, remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in action potential propagation and to identify biological factors influencing these changes ...

Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Does the use of an imagery intervention have an effect upon clean and jerk technique in trained individuals? [PDF]
Studies show that the use of imagery can be effective (Holmes & Collins, 2001, Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, 13, 60–83) however questions remain about its use in connection to Olympic weightlifting. Previous studies have investigated the effect of

Abstract Previous work in younger adults has shown that during small muscle mass exercise, the tolerable degree of neuromuscular impairment at task failure is greater than during large muscle mass exercise. However, no study has compared the neuromuscular responses to small and large muscle mass exercise whilst matching exercise modality in older ...

Abstract figure legend We investigated how 6 weeks of dynamic knee‐extensor interval training with blood flow restriction (BFR‐leg) and without (CTRL‐leg) impacts performance and its mechanisms using non‐invasive methods. Specifically, we used gold‐standard methods to assess neuromuscular function, vascular function using Doppler ultrasound, and near ...

Abstract figure legend Skeletal muscle structure was analysed at three levels in young vs. aged humans, and in young vs. aged mice subjected to unilateral hindlimb immobilization to model disuse. (1) Macroscopic: magnetic resonance imaging of the thigh (human) and wet mass of individual hindlimb muscles (mouse) revealed that both ageing and disuse ...

Gastroschisis‐Like Defect in a Crossbred Bovine Calf: Anatomical, Clinical and Surgical Perspectives
A gastroschisis‐like defect was observed in a one‐day‐old, crossbred bovine calf with evisceration of the pyloric abomasum and small intestine, likely resulting from prenatal rupture of an omphalocele. The calf presented with lethargy, hypothermia and metabolic derangements, along with elevated renal biomarkers.
