Awareness of the risk and incidence of injury during the breakfall movement may lead to a perceived fear, which could be detrimental to breakfall kinematics and may even increase the risk of judo-related head injuries. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the association between the perceived fear of the breakfall movement and breakfall kinematics for osoto-gari in novice judokas. Eight experi...

Gari, a fermented and dried semolina made from cassava, is one of the most common foods in West Africa. Recently introduced biofortified yellow cassava containing provitamin A carotenoids could help tackle vitamin A deficiency prevalent in those areas. However there are concerns because of the low retention of carotenoids during gari processing compared to other processes (e.g. boiling). The ai...

Disregarding ergonomics in designing a workstation has been identified as major cause of inefficiency, low productivity and injury to personnel, especially among indigenous food processing operators. Operations such gari-frying require an ergonomic but due unavailability or insufficient data, this not possible. This study focused on the collection anthropometric data population six southwestern...

The implications of consumption of dietary cyanide from gari were investigated by feeding trials on experimental rats (Rattus norwagicus) in this study. The biological assay technique was used to assess diets formulated from gari (fermented cassava product) processed for zero, 24, 48, 72h and control (corn starch) which contain varying amounts of residual cyanide (ranging from 111.6 – 18.6 mg H...

Gary Ostertag (Philos Stud 146:249–267, 2009) has presented a new puzzle for Russellianism about belief reports. He argues that Russellians do not have the resources to solve this puzzle in terms of pragmatic phenomena.
