Audiences are usually seen as groups of people who collectively or individually read, watch or hear works of arts. This mode of relationship is referred to as reception as opposed to creation, which is supposed to be the productive stage of the artistic communication process. Art becomes the product of an independent elite, which does not respond to an audience's demands but opposes the dominan...

Introduction: It has been shown that regular endurance exercise is a widely recognized modality to raise plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, but the results reported in studies of the effect of supra-maximal /maximal high intensity or power and anaerobic based sports and exercise on lipoprotein are conflicting. Objectives: The purposes of the present study were to invest...

The aim of this study was to describe and explain wrestling fight lactate and glucose curves and establish the differences between wrestlers of different quality level. The study was conducted on a sample 60 young wrestlers, cadets (N=30, aged 15.5+/-0.5) and juniors (N=30, aged 18.6+/-1.2). Every subsample was divided in two quality classes (higher quality n=15, lower quality N=15), according ...

OBJECTIVES To describe a community outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and to investigate risk factors for MRSA transmission and infection in a wrestling team. DESIGN Case series and retrospective cohort study. SETTING A high school wrestling team and the surrounding community in southern Vermont, 1993 to 1994. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS The case series incl...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound (ULTRA) in assessing fat-free mass (FFM) in comparison with hydrostatic weighing (HW) and skinfolds (SK) in high school wrestlers in a hydrated state. METHODS Body composition was determined by ULTRA, HW, and three-site SK in 70 high school wrestlers (mean +/- SD: age, 15.5 +/- 1.5; height, 1.60 +/- 0.08 m; body mass, 65.8 +/- 12.7 kg). For all m...

Phase I. Discovering the new construct’s domain space (i.e., the relevant associated behaviors within the environment encompassed by the proposed construct) (determine the key behaviors that best represent a construct, from the perspective of the theory-based literature, experts, and target participants for whom the construct is being defined) Step 1a. Behavioral elicitation through literature ...

This paper proposes a methodology for using survey data to understand the composition of elites, through analysing the pool of potential members. An occupational-based measure of ‘potential power elite’ is created and compared with other measures of occupational advantage. It is argued that this measure can be utilised to explore if the processes causing certain social groups to be under-repres...
