Traditionally, sports injury prevention approaches have been following the ‘Sequence of Prevention’ that was proposed by Van Mechelen and colleagues1 in 1992; a four-step model that presents a systematic logic from injury problem assessment to the design of an evidence–based solution (Figure1). The first step aims to describe the extent of the injury problem, followed by the second step that aims to investigate the etiological factors and the injury mechanisms. The third step’s goal is to develop science-informed injury prevention measures, and the fourth step assesses if the developed measures actually work to solve the problem. This ‘Sequence of Prevention’ framework has guided research and practice towards injury prevention strategies over the last 25 years. Step 1 Step 2 Establish the Establish the extent of the aetiology and injury mechanism of problem injury Step 4 Step 3 Assess the Introduce effectiveness preventive by repeating measures step 1 Figure 1- Sequence of prevention proposed by Van Mechelen et al.1 Following the sequence of prevention, many publications have described extensively the problem of injury in sports in epidemiological terms, as well injury mechanisms and risk factors2. Based on this knowledge, preventive measures have been proposed and randomized controlled trials have evaluated the efficacy of these measures to prevent injuries. Evidence of efficacy, however, does not necessarily equal effectiveness in practice, i.e. effective implementation3. Therefore, implementation of evidence has been presented as a key process to bring controlled research findings into actual sports practice4–6. Finch7 proposed the TRIPP model (Translating Research into Injury Prevention Practice), which added two steps to the above mentioned ‘Sequence of Prevention’ model (Figure 2). These two additional steps are related to (1) the understanding of the implementation context and (2) the evaluation of the implementation process of preventive measures. Studies have applied the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and 8 General introduction Maintenance) framework to evaluate the implementation process, and mainly indicated poor adoption and maintenance of introduced preventive interventions3,8–10. These findings indicate that the uptake of interventions by athletes is still limited, despite the implementation efforts. Figure 2- The Translating Research into Injury Prevention Practice (TRIPP) framework proposed by Finch for research leading to real-world sports injury prevention7. WHAT IS NEW IN SPORTS INJURY PREVENTION? The ‘sequence of prevention’ describes a pathway that starts with the description of the ‘injury problem’ from an epidemiological perspective. However, the sports injury problem has recently been described as a complex phenomenon11–14. Bittencourt et al.13 stated that the web of determinants relating to, for instance, the risk for ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury of ballet dancers consists of certain risk factors in a certain configuration. However, the risk for ACL injury in basketball players consists of a web of other and/or comparable risk factors, however, with a different relative weight and presented in a different configuration. Injury risk factors will interact and impact differently as the context of sports practice changes. Bekker and Clark14 also suggested that intervention outcomes are influenced by interactions between people and places. Understanding the contextual complexity requires the understanding that intervention success at a population level, or effectiveness, is not only about the efficacy of the intervention. Therefore, it is also about the effect of inter-related contextual factors on the intervention outcome. This paradigm shift suggests that, while the problem is complex, traditional reductionist approaches may not be able to develop effective solutions, while the context of the injury is a significant part of the puzzle towards effective injury prevention in practice. If this holds true, we may need to put our effort in answering different research questions. Rutter made a compelling argument towards the complexity of Public Health interventions15. He argued that researchers should aim to identify “if and how an intervention contributes to reshaping a system in favourable ways”, instead of investigating 9 Chapter 1 whether an intervention fixes a problem. In short, because right now we have “the right answers for the wrong questions”. Although Rutter argues for issues that relate to public health problems in general, it is reasonable to specifically transfer his argumentation to sports injury prevention. Bekker at al16 already claimed that instead of implementation and dissemination efforts, we should focus on different questions that improve the relevance of our research knowledge. The understanding of the context in the injury prevention process currently only follows after the full intervention has been designed, and has been tested out of the context; whereas implementation science tries to find an à priori way to put an intervention into its contextual practice. However, if we do not know for whom, where and how injury prevention strategies are developed and implemented, there is a chance that we may build perfect umbrellas to protect us from the rain for someone living in the desert. Thus, we are to address a problem by building highly efficacious solutions that are completely out of context and that have limited practical relevance. HOW CAN WE INCORPORATE CONTEXT? The challenge is to take the context into account when designing sports injury prevention interventions that can be easily adopted and maintained in practice. To overcome such a challenge, we need to do better by learning more about the athletes’ context already at the beginning of the injury

NOTE DEL REGISTA Ho sempre saputo sin da quando finimmo “Never Say Never” nel 2011, che la storia di Justin Bieber non sarebbe finita. Avevo la sensazione che il capitolo successivo della sua vita sarebbe stato ancora più convincente dell’inizio della sua storia, ma non avrei mai pensato di essere di nuovo io a raccontarlo. Quando, qualche anno dopo, mi arrivò l’invito di Justin a seguirlo in tour per realizzarne un film, presi al volo questa opportunità.

  • Among the Mormons in the Days of Brigham Young by Wilfred H
    AMONG THE MORMONS IN THE DAYS OF BRIGHAM YOUNG BY WILFRED H. MUNRO TN 1871 the author of this paper was told by his •^ physician that he must throw up his position and go west for a "life in the open" or he could not live six months. He was then a Master in a military board- ing school, and one of his pupils happened to be a brother-in-law of Bishop Tuttle of Utah. Like all young men of that day "Mormonism" appealed to him as a curiosity. He chose Salt Lake City as a place from which to wander and has ever since rejoiced in the experiences resulting therefrom. The stories of the beginnings of a religion are ordi- narily vague and of doubtful value. Accounts written, as in the case of the Mohammedans, upon "palm leaves, skins, blade-bones and the hearts of men," do not always agree in their statements and can never be entirely satisfactory. It is not so with "Mormon- ism." Its founder, Joseph Smith, was born hardly a century and a quarter ago (1805); its organization is not yet a hundred years old (1830). An alert printing press has steadily kept us informed of all that is worth knowing in its history. The establishment of the Mormon state in what was supposed to be foreign territory, in 1847, does not antedate the birth of many members of this Society. (It was not until 1848 that Mexico, by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ceded to the United States the indefinite and unsurveyed regions of the provinces of New Mexico and Upper California.) Very many living men have known the great leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

From 1863 to 1870, Seattle was famous throughout the country for a string of bustling coal mining towns from Bellingham to Carbonado. Included in this line of towns was Newcastle, the most prosperous and advanced town of them all. Founded in 1869, Newcastle was created as a coal-mining town, and the abundance and quality of the coal in Newcastle Coal was the first product shipped out of brought about economic growth for Seattle, a city which had been trying to find other products besides lumber and pilings to bring the fledgling port of seattle income to the port. Phillip H. Lewis, a man from Illinois, described how there were coal outcroppings in the area during 1863, and a team quickly assembled in search of coal, consisting of Lewis himself, Edwin Richardson, a teacher who surveyed school land, and old coal mines can still be found on local Josiah Settle, who served as a tree-cutter. After five weeks of combing through the forest, the group found coal outcroppings along trails near coal creek riverbanks, exciting the new businessmen of Seattle. Once their discovery was made, Edwin Richardson named the brook “Stone Coal Creek,” and thus the name “Coal Creek” was forever cemented in history.
