This study identified an immediate significant improvement in ankle ROM after a single intervention of TrP pressure release on latent soleus MTrPS. These findings are clinically relevant, although the treatment effect on ankle ROM is smaller than a clinical significant ROM (5°). Suggestions for methodological improvements may inform future MTrP research and ultimately benefit clinical practice in this under investigated area.

Issue addressed Advancements in mobile‐ and web‐based technologies proliferate everyday opportunities to gamble. The increased availability, popularity and intensity of online gambling platforms and interactive gaming activities also changes the way we construct gambling harm reduction interventions. Information and communication technologies (ICT) provide potential opportunities to reduce harm from online gambling through harm minimisation initiatives and currently available services. The aim of this review was to firstly understand the scope of peer‐reviewed evidence on ICT‐based strategies to reduce online gambling harm, and secondly, what evidence exists specifically in relation to ICT‐based harm reduction initiatives for people who gamble online. Methods Scoping review methods and a five‐stage model of analysis were used to: identify the published literature on ICT‐based harm minimisation activities for online gambling; distil models appropriate to address gambling harm in this setting; and synthesise all available evidence, noting gaps and patterns. Results Sixteen gambling‐specific ICT‐based interventions were reviewed in depth. The majority of included studies focused on different components of computer‐assisted or online therapy programs for disordered gambling, specifically the development of individual skills in managing problematic gambling behaviour. Conclusions The review found that despite the widespread potential ICT represent for addressing gambling harm there has been only limited published research to date. So what There is a clear need for further investigation into uptake, usage, focus and effectiveness of all online gambling interventions on offer. The dearth of gambling‐specific empirical knowledge potentially indicates a serious resourcing and reporting issues in this area.

<p>This study will provide a framework for understanding the concept of martyrdom in Islam and the development of the 'suicide bomber' as a form of martyrdom. I will argue that 'suicide bombing' as a form of martyrdom is not a simple development of traditional jurisprudential concepts of martyrdom or jihad, for either the Shi'a or the Sunni tradition. Its introduction as a form of martyrdom is due to the reinterpretation of Shi'a revivalist martyrdom ideologies into Sunni revivalist jihad ideologies. It is 'suicide bombings" martyrological origin within a Shi'a concept of'political martyrdom' that is responsible for the transformative nature of'suicide bombing' use as a tactic.</p>
