![Total Matches in a year in the Electronic Sports League in Europe To continue the justification of the study, it is important to know that over 2.2 million players play Counter Strike [a first person shooter video game] monthly (pcgamer.com, 2014) and 67 million play League of Legends [an internet multiplayer game] monthly (Forbes, 2013). Moreover, a study claims that 59% of the population of the United States plays videogames (theesa.com, 2014).](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tobias-Scholz-2/publication/315688238/figure/fig4/AS:477200882376709@1490784964996/Total-Matches-in-a-year-in-the-Electronic-Sports-League-in-Europe-To-continue-the_Q320.jpg)

Abstract and Figures
This year's issue contains several articles about eSports. This time there are more research articles included. The topics range from research about eSports spectatorship, the informal roles in Counter-Strike Teams, a potential reverse gamification effect, the chances of eSports being an Olympic discipline, the connection between League of Legend teams and the owning corporations, the ergonomics in eSports and the health perception of gamers, to the potential shift in FPS games. The book is a statement: eSports is not only booming in the business context but increasingly gains attention in research as well.

Na Grécia Antiga, as praticas atléticas, antes mesmo de ser um objeto pedagógico, foi uma forma de produção cultural, e tinham nos Jogos Públicos sua principal forma de transmissão para toda aquela sociedade. Possuíam caráter sagrado e buscavam celebrar a honra dos deuses. Com o tempo, os Jogos realizados em Olímpia foram crescendo em importância, chegando a ser o acontecimento central de toda a cultura grega, interrompiam-se as guerras e uma multidão se dirigia para lá para apreciar os Jogos Olímpicos. Eram nestas ocasiões que se conheciam os novos heróis, o momento em que o homem chegava mais perto dos deuses, buscando sua transcendência. Com o tempo, os valores inerentes a cada grupo social vão se transformando, o que não foi diferente na Grécia, a condição religiosa foi sendo suplantada pelo espetáculo realizado por atletas profissionais, atingindo seu auge logo após o início do domínio romano. Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma breve reflexão deste quadro, apoiado principalmente na mitologia que o sustenta.DOI: 10.5585/podium.v1i1.15
Background Occupational use of computers has increased rapidly over recent decades, and has been linked with various musculoskeletal disorders, which are now the most commonly diagnosed occupational diseases in Estonia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) by anatomical region during the past 12 months and to investigate its association with personal characteristics and work-related risk factors among Estonian office workers using computers. Methods In a cross-sectional survey, the questionnaires were sent to the 415 computer users. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaire from 202 computer users at two universities in Estonia. The questionnaire asked about MSP at different anatomical sites, and potential individual and work related risk factors. Associations with risk factors were assessed by logistic regression. Results Most respondents (77%) reported MSP in at least one anatomical region during the past 12 months. Most prevalent was pain in the neck (51%), followed by low back pain (42%), wrist/hand pain (35%) and shoulder pain (30%). Older age, right-handedness, not currently smoking, emotional exhaustion, belief that musculoskeletal problems are commonly caused by work, and low job security were the statistically significant risk factors for MSP in different anatomical sites. Conclusions A high prevalence of MSP in the neck, low back, wrist/arm and shoulder was observed among Estonian computer users. Psychosocial risk factors were broadly consistent with those reported from elsewhere. While computer users should be aware of ergonomic techniques that can make their work easier and more comfortable, presenting computer use as a serious health hazard may modify health beliefs in a way that is unhelpful.
Interest in transcript-based research has grown significantly in recent years. Alongside this growth has been an increase in awareness of the empirical utility of naturalistic research on language use in interaction. However, a quick scan of the literature reveals that very few transcription books have been published in the past three decades. This is an astonishing fact given that there are perhaps hundreds of books published on spoken discourse analysis. This book aims to narrow this gap by providing an introduction to the theories and practices related to transcribing communication data. The book is intended for students with little to no knowledge of transcription work and/or instructors responsible for teaching introductory courses on transcript-based research. Readers who are learning or teaching discourse/conversation analysis or similar analytic methods of investigation will find this book particularly helpful.
Christopher Jenks has many years of experience teaching transcription work and analysis of communication data to postgraduate students and researchers. In addition to running workshops and giving presentations on similar topics at universities around the world, he has published widely in top international journals and has numerous other forthcoming publications.
