This study uses Google Trends data to analyze the impact of the main events in the Tour de France 2019 on cyclists’ online popularity in 12 countries and at a global scale. A fixed effects panel model revealed a strong own-country preference. While online popularity increased with the duration of the Tour, race incidents strongly influenced online popularity. Besides the yellow jersey, winning a stage was more important than wearing the green, white or polka dot jersey for most regions. Still, on a global scale, young cyclists’ online popularity benefited more from wearing the white jersey than from winning a Tour stage.

On the cusp of Western civilization, Caucasians aspired to a racial world order defining Caucasian as superior race status. Today, racial diversity is a societal theme facilitated by laws, which deems racial equality a right and racial discrimination illegal. Nevertheless, by globalization, a racial world order exists by locating light skin at the zenith of humanity. As pertains to the globalization of light skin, culture and social criteria are most significant considering the demands of a racist racial hierarchy. The existence of such a hierarchy by replacing racism with colorism then necessitates moving beyond race category. Critical race theory (CRT) per light skin as new world order must defer to critical skin theory (CST). Colorism per CST operates identical in manner to racism per CRT. CST must then be elevated to priority over CRT such that the future of humanity may be rescued from the tenacious transgressions of a racist societal past.

Opposite changes in perception (aftereffects) can be simultaneously induced for faces from different social categories—for example, Chinese and Caucasian faces. We investigated whether these aftereffects are generated in high-level face coding that is sensitive to the social category information in faces, or in earlier visual coding sensitive to simple physical differences between faces. We caricatured the race of face stimuli and created face continua ranging from caricatured Caucasian faces (SuperCaucasian) to caricatured Chinese faces (SuperChinese). Participants were adapted to oppositely distorted faces that were a fixed physical distance apart on the morph continua. Larger opposite aftereffects were found following adaptation to faces from different race categories (e.g., contracted Chinese and expanded Caucasian faces), than for faces that were the same physical distance apart on the morph continua, but were within a race category (e.g., contracted SuperChinese and expanded Chinese faces). These results suggest that opposite aftereffects for Chinese and Caucasian faces reflect the recalibration of face neurons tuned to high-level social category information.

Sobre Todo

El kitesurf como deporte extremo relativamente nuevo, presenta una literatura escasa en comparación con otros deportes del mar de mayor tradición. En la actualidad, el patrón y la frecuencia de las lesiones en kitesurf no están nada claros. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los patrones lesivos comunes, así como las áreas potenciales sobre las que se podrían aplicar medidas de prevención en kitesurfistas profesionales masculinos. Se diseñó un estudio epidemiológico descriptivo. Se suministró un cuestionario de carácter retrospectivo a 38 kitesurfistas de elite, participantes en la Copa del Mundo disputada en Fuerteventura (2008). El tobillo fue la zona corporal con mayor porcentaje de lesiones p<0.01, y la modalidad de Course Race presenta el 68.4% de lesiones, frente a los 31.6% del Freestyle. Dichas lesiones se produjeron más durante los entrenamientos (76.3%; p<0.01), que en las competiciones y las más comunes fueron las agudas. Estos resultados indican la necesidad de establecer nuevas metodologías de prevención, sobre todo para las piernas, especialmente en la modalidad de Course Race y en la zona del tobillo, así como el uso de materiales para la protección del pie.Palabra clave: Kitesurf, lesión, competición, prevención.Abstract: A relatively new extreme sport, kitesurf hasn’t received the kind of scientific scrutiny found with other more traditional sports. Currently, the pattern and rate of kiteboarding injuries are largely unclear. The objective was to identify common injury patterns as well as potential areas in which prevention measures might be instituted. A descriptive epidemiological study was designed and a retrospective questionnaire was performed on 38 elite kitesurfers taking part in the World Cup Fuerteventura 2008. The ankle is the part of the body most affected by injury p<0.01, whilst the Course Race category accounted for 68.4% of injuries, compared with 31.6% in the Freestyle category. Said injuries occurred more frequently when training (76.3%; p<0.01) than during competitions and acute injuries were the most common. These results show the need to establish new prevention methodologies, above all for the legs and specifically for the ankle area and in the Course Race category, as well as the use of foot protections.Key words: Kitesurf, injury, competition, prevention.
