Eating disorders risk assessment in men who practice team sports

Introduction Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by an overconcern about body weight and shape. Men who practice team sports have been systematically excluded from the high-risk eating disorders groups. This exclusion could be challenged based on misinformation about the prevalence of actual eating disorders within these athletes, with the previous evidence showing significant body image concerns among them and the under-diagnosis risk in populations of men. Objective To assess eating disorders risk in Spanish adult men who practice team sports. Methodology: An observational study was conducted with 276 athlete men aged between 18 and 55 years: 60.5% were team sports players and 39.5% were athletes of aesthetic, endurance, and weight-category sports. Data were collected via an online form including a general assessment sheet and four validated questionnaires: The Eating Habits Questionnaire for Athletes (CHAD), the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), the Inventory of Eating Disorders (EDI-2), and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Data analysis was conducted with the software IBM SPSS 28.0. 0. Results About 20.36% of team sports players presented a clinical profile compatible with an ED diagnosis. There were no significant differences comparing EDs potential cases between team sports players and athletes playing sports categorized as high EDs risk. There were significant differences when analyzing the existence of EDs between the different groups of age, family pressure, and coach pressure. The U-value of the Mann–Whitney test presented significant differences when assessing the influence of BMI over the development of EDs. Conclusion Men who practice team sports may also be a high-risk group for the development of EDs. Being younger than 21 years, having a BMI larger than 25 kg/m2, and perceiving high-level pressure from the coach and/or family would be risk factors for EDs in men who practice team sports.
P2X7 purinergic receptor plays a critical role in maintaining T-cell homeostasis and preventing lupus pathogenesis

The severe lymphoproliferative and lupus diseases developed by MRL/lpr mice depend on interactions between the Fas lpr mutation and MRL genetic background. Thus, the Fas lpr mutation causes limited disease in C57BL/6 mice. We previously found that accumulating B220+ CD4–CD8– double negative (DN) T cells in MRL/lpr mice show defective P2X7 receptor ( P2X7)-induced cellular functions, suggesting that P2X7 contributes to T-cell homeostasis, along with Fas. Therefore, we generated a B6/lpr mouse strain (called B6/lpr-p2x7KO) carrying homozygous P2X7 knockout alleles. B6/lpr-p2x7KO mice accumulated high numbers of FasL-expressing B220+ DN T cells of CD45RBhighCD44high effector/memory CD8+ T-cell origin and developed severe lupus, characterized by leukocyte infiltration into the tissues, high levels of IgG anti-dsDNA and rheumatoid factor autoantibodies, and marked cytokine network dysregulation. B6/lpr-p2x7KO mice also exhibited a considerably reduced lifespan. P2X7 is therefore a novel regulator of T-cell homeostasis, of which cooperation with Fas is critical to prevent lymphoaccumulation and autoimmunity.
INFRARED COLOR SELECTION OF MASSIVE GALAXIES AT z > 3

We introduce a new color selection technique to identify high-redshift, massive galaxies that are systematically missed by Lyman-break selection. The new selection is based on the H160 (H) and Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) 4.5 μm bands, specifically H − [ 4.5 ] > 2.25 ? > mag. These galaxies, called “HIEROs,” include two major populations that can be separated with an additional J − H color. The populations are massive and dusty star-forming galaxies at z > 3 ? > ( JH − blue ? > ) and extremely dusty galaxies at z ≲ 3 ? > ( JH − red ? > ). The 350 arcmin2 of the GOODS-North and GOODS-South fields with the deepest Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) near-infrared and IRAC data contain as many as 285 HIEROs down to [ 4.5 ] < 24 ? > mag. Inclusion of the most extreme HIEROs, not even detected in the H band, makes this selection particularly complete for the identification of massive high-redshift galaxies. We focus here primarily on JH − blue ? > ( z > 3 ? > ) HIEROs, which have a median photometric redshift ⟨ z ⟩ ∼ 4.4 ? > and stellar mass M * ∼ 10 10.6 ? > M ⊙ ? > and are much fainter in the rest-frame UV than similarly massive Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). Their star formation rates (SFRs), derived from their stacked infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs), reach ∼240 M ⊙ ? > yr−1, leading to a specific SFR, sSFR ≡ SFR / M * ∼ 4.2 ? > Gyr−1, suggesting that the sSFRs for massive galaxies continue to grow at z > 2 ? > but at a lower growth rate than from z = 0 to z = 2. With a median half-light radius of 2 kpc, including ∼ 20 % ? > as compact as quiescent (QS) galaxies at similar redshifts, JH − blue ? > HIEROs represent perfect star-forming progenitors of the most massive ( M * ≳ 10 11.2 ? > M ⊙ ? > ) compact QS galaxies at z ∼ 3 ? > and have the right number density. HIEROs make up ∼ 60 % ? > of all galaxies with M * > 10 10.5 ? > M ⊙ ? > identified at z > 3 ? > from their photometric redshifts. This is five times more than LBGs with nearly no overlap between the two populations. While HIEROs make up 15%–25% of the total SFR density at z ∼ 4 ? > –5, they completely dominate the SFR density taking place in M * > 10 10.5 ? > M ⊙ ? > galaxies, and HIEROs are therefore crucial to understanding the very early phase of massive galaxy formation.
Acute Stress Disorder Diagnosis, Clusters, and Symptoms as Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Gender Differences in Victims of Violent Crimes

Violent crimes represent a societal problem, and victims, namely women, often develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Previous studies have identified acute stress disorder (ASD) as a predictor of PTSD, as well as dissociation. However, there are some inconsistencies regarding which cluster or symptom has better predictive power, and the impact of gender is still unknown in victims of violent crimes. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive power of full and partial ASD diagnosis, clusters, and symptoms according to gender. To do so, 39 women and 36 men were evaluated using validated semi-structured clinical interviews within 30 days post crime for ASD and 2 months later for PTSD. Results showed that 52% of individuals had full ASD and 20% has partial ASD, 40% had full PTSD and 17% had partial PTSD. Both full and partial ASD diagnoses, as well as all clusters, and most symptoms, were good predictors of PTSD. No gender differences were observed concerning the predictive power of ASD clusters and symptoms. The decreased emphasis on dissociative reactions in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5) to establish an ASD diagnosis appears relevant to better identify women and men at risk of PTSD after a violent crime, and to deliver appropriate early preventive interventions.
TREATMENT OF FACIAL SOFT TISSUE INFECTIONS WITHIN FAST HEALTH REHABILITATION

Odontogenic infections are rapidly spreading health conditions, caused by bacterial inflammation that may produce serious health problems. The aim of study was to evaluate some clinical experience of the treated patients with face soft-tissue infections with speed health rehabilitations and their characteristics and treatment modalities using incision, drainage, sometimes tooth extraction with other medical treatments. This retrospective study has been done with face soft-tissue patients infections from January 2014 to January 2015. We found male preponderance, and mean age was 36.86. Sources of infections were of odontogenic origin in 93% of cases. The mandibular 3 molar (20%) was found to be the most commonly offending tooth, followed by the mandibular 1 molar (16%). Deciduous teeth contained 6.4% of the involved teeth. Most patients had aggressive surgical treatment with extraction, surgical drainage, high dose intravenous antibiotics, corticosteroids, and rehydration. Most of the patients (40%) were hospitalized for 4-6 days. Speed health rehabilitation after facial soft-tissue infections is important to verify the patient’s health and life. Antibiotic and surgical treatment results in good condition with normalization of the leukocytes, C-reactive protein counts and good health recovery.
A Comprehensive Understanding of Lithium–Sulfur Battery Technology

Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are regarded as a new kind of energy storage device due to their remarkable theoretical energy density. However, some issues, such as the low conductivity and the large volume variation of sulfur, as well as the formation of polysulfides during cycling, are yet to be addressed before LSBs can become an actual reality. Here, presented is a comprehensive overview illustrating the techniques capable of mitigating these undesirable problems together with the electrochemical performances associated to the different proposed solutions. In particular, the analysis is organized by separately addressing cathode, anode, separator, and electrolyte. Furthermore, to better understand the chemistry and failure mechanisms of LSBs, important characterization techniques applied to energy storage systems are reviewed. Similarly, considerations on the theoretical approaches used in the energy storage field are provided, as they can become the key tool for the design of the next generation LSBs. Afterward, the state of the art of LSBs technology is presented from a geopolitical perspective by comparing the results achieved in this field by the main world actors, namely Asia, North America, and Europe. Finally, this review is concluded with the application status of LSBs technology, and its prospects are offered.
The Number of Rhombus Tilings of a “Punctured” Hexagon and the Minor Summation Formula

We compute the number of all rhombus tilings of a hexagon with sidesa,b+1,c,a+1,b,c+1, of which the central triangle is removed, provideda,b,chave the same parity. The result isB(? a/2? ,? b/2? ,? c/2? )B(? (a+1)/2? ,? b/2? , ? c/2? )B(? a/2? ,? (b+1)/2? ,? c/2? )B(? a/2? ,? b/2? , ? (c+1)/2? ), whereB(? ,s,? ) is the number of plane partitions inside the ? ×s×? box. The proof uses nonintersecting lattice paths and a new identity for Schur functions, which is proved by means of the minor summation formula of Ishikawa and Wakayama. Proc. Japan Acad. Ser. A71(1995), 54? 57]. A symmetric generalization of this identity is stated as a conjecture.
Migration and ethnic group disproportionality in special education: an exploratory study

Issues of educational equity and opportunity cannot be understood without regard to special education, as a key response to disabilities, disadvantages, and difficulties. Likewise, globalization cannot be understood without regard to cross‐border migration and minority group status in society. Illuminating the nexus of these, research into disproportionality in special education, defined as the over‐ or under‐representation of particular ethnic groups in such programs, shows that this, too, has become a global phenomenon. Comparing Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the USA, this article explores international trends in migration and discusses the globalization of ethnic group disproportionality – as a primary indicator of inequity in education. We conclude by questioning the functions of special education in an era of globalization and identifying the challenges ahead that these findings indicate.
predicative possession in old church slavic bible translations

Three different encoding strategies for predicative possession were available in Old Church Slavic (OCS). The verb iměti ‘have’ was the most frequent and least semantically and syntactically restricted strategy. Two additional existential constructions were used to express predicative possession: 1) the dative predicative possessive construction (PPC): a dative possessor, a ‘be’ verb (may be null), and a nominative possessum (genitive under negation); and 2) the u + genitive PPC: a possessor in the “locative” prepositional phrase u ‘at/near’ + genitive, a ‘be’ verb (may be null), and a nominative possessum (genitive under negation). The dative PPC is well-attested with a number of fixed constructions and with a particular set of possessums, e.g. kinship relations and abstract possessums. The u + genitive PPC is only marginally attested for encoding predicative possession, appearing in a few contexts in order to emphasize the transient temporal nature of the possessor-possessum relationship.
Bmal1 knockdown in the left stellate ganglion inhibits neural activity and prevents ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial ischemia

Objectives The neural activity of the left stellate ganglion (LSG) is closely related to the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Bmal1 modulates genes associated with neural activity in the central nervous system. However, few studies indicated the role of Bmal1 in the LSG and the subsequent effect on the heart. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the influence of Bmal1 knockdown in the LSG on its neural activity and cardiac electrophysiology and to explore the mechanisms. Materials and methods We used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to knock down Bmal1 in the LSG. Male beagles were randomized into the Bmal1 knockdown group and the control group. After 4 weeks of injection, the LSG function, neural activity, left ventricular effective refractory period (ERP), and action potential duration (APD) were measured. Electrocardiography for 1 h was recorded for VAs analysis after myocardial ischemia. Nerve growth factor (NGF) and c-fos in the LSG were quantified by immunofluorescence. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to assess the gene expression in the LSG. Results Bmal1 was sufficiently knocked down by AAV. Compared with the control group, heart rate variability (HRV) in the knockdown group was altered. Bmal1 knockdown inhibited neural activity and function of LSG. It also prolonged ERP as well as APD90. Ischemia-induced VAs were significantly reduced. Nerve growth factor (NGF) and c-fos in the LSG were reduced. Bmal1 knockdown led to the expression changes of genes associated with neural activity in the LSG. Conclusion Bmal1 knockdown in the LSG suppresses neural activity and prevents ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial ischemia.
Air Pollution Tolerance Index and Biochemical constituents of some plants growing in Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), Tamil Nadu, India

Plant species can be effectively used as filters to reduce air pollution and also as bio-indicators of urban air quality. Screening of plants for their sensitivity/tolerance level to air pollutants is important because the s ensitive plants can serve as bio-indicator and the tolerant plants as sink for c ontrolling air pollution in urban and industrial ar eas. Biochemical parameters namely Relative Water Content, leaf extract pH, ascorbic acid, chlorophyll, starch, protein, amino acid, reducing and total sugar were estimated to generate Air Poll ution Tolerance Index (APTI) for ten plants each at polluted site and control site . The results showed that Terminalia catappa (18.16 and 16.19) and Mangifera indica (16.01 and 15.98) have recorded high and low values in both the sites resp ectively. In comparison between the two sites, all the values were slightly higher in the polluted site than the control for al l the ten plants and a considerable variation was o bserved among the four parameters where their percentage variations were c onsidered. Terminalia catappa , Mangifera indica and Calotropis gigantea were found to be tolerant towards air pollution.
Understanding the implementation of e-business strategies: Evidence from Luxembourg

Our empirical study aims at identifying the drivers of the implementation of an e-business strategy by firms located in Luxembourg. The setting up of such a strategy is apprehended through the website and the type of strategy through the functionalities available on the Internet. Thus we distinguish an information-oriented strategy from a commercially oriented one. Probit analyses and models derived from count data models are conducted on a dataset of website investments by about 1100 firms located in Luxembourg. Our results show that the sale of online fashionable products like tourism, the ownership of a well-known brand and the follow-up of rivals' behaviours are highly significant determinants of the adoption and development of an e-business strategy. Financial, human and technological resources seem to favour the adoption of such a strategy but have no significant influence on the choice of the strategy pursued. Moreover the use of technologies that make the business process more flexible, public actions that diffuse best practices concerning technologies adoption and being the leader on the market are specific drivers of the deployment of an e-business strategy. Finally, an intense perceived competition negatively influences the decision to invest heavily in e-commerce.

Mas aun, el procedimiento de Johansen (1988) indica que ambas series estan cointegradas y que por lo tanto se mueven juntas en el tiempo.
LEARNING STRATEGY EMPLOYED BY EFL STUDENTS IN A LISTENING COMPREHENSION CLASS

Lilik Handayani Politeknik Perkapalan Negeri Surabaya (lily9.handayani@gmail.com) Abstract The present study was a case study undertaken to investigate the learning strategy employed by an EFL student and improvement of his listening comprehension. Participant‟s learning strategy was measured by Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire and Strategic Listening Interview (SLI). The participant‟s listening comprehension skill was measured by an EFL listening comprehension test. The result of SILL questionnaire was calculated and analyzed to determine the most dominantly applied learning strategy. It was triangulated to the result of SLI, whereas the result of listening comprehension test was linked to the learning strategy. The findings revealed that the higher the level of strategic listening score the student obtained, the higher the score he attained on the listening comprehension test and vice versa. Keywords: learning strategy, SLI, SILL
Arbitrage and duality in nondominated discrete-time models

We consider a nondominated model of a discrete-time financial market where stocks are traded dynamically and options are available for static hedging. In a general measure-theoretic setting, we show that absence of arbitrage in a quasi-sure sense is equivalent to the existence of a suitable family of martingale measures. In the arbitrage-free case, we show that optimal superhedging strategies exist for general contingent claims, and that the minimal superhedging price is given by the supremum over the martingale measures. Moreover, we obtain a nondominated version of the Optional Decomposition Theorem.
Critical Thinking Development—A Necessary Step in Higher Education Transformation towards Sustainability

Education for sustainable development has been addressed by professionals, authorities, and a number of research studies in the last decades, and yet the results are not clearly visible. Teachers as agents of a new mindset do not seem to understand the ways of approaching raising awareness of the issues of global challenges. This study investigated the possibility of raising the extent of applying critical thinking to the problem-solving issues of a group of student teachers in their initial training. The sample consisted of 48 student teachers. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used: namely, a questionnaire, content analysis, and focus group interviews. An archive of the students’ materials was also used for content analysis. In the data analysis, inter-rater reliability, as well as parametric (t-test) and non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney U test) were applied. The results of the study provide evidence of the positive impact of the use of case studies in teaching pre-service teachers on the development of their critical thinking skills. It can be concluded that it should not be taken for granted that teachers automatically know how to develop the competencies that are necessary for sustainable development (SD). Instead, teacher education institutions need to incorporate thorough training that focusses on education for sustainable development (ESD) into the entire teacher programme in order to make sure that the teachers leave their initial training well prepared for guaranteeing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Hierarchical clustering in chameleon f(R) gravity

We use a suite of high-resolution state-of-the-art N-body dark matter simulations of chameleon f(R) gravity to study the higher order volume-averaged correlation functions ξ n ¯ ¯ ¯ together with the hierarchical nth-order correlation amplitudes S n =ξ ¯ n /ξ ¯ n−1 2 and density distribution functions (PDF). We show that under the non-linear modifications of gravity the hierarchical scaling of the reduced cumulants is preserved. This is however characterized by significant changes in the values of both ξ n ¯ ¯ ¯ and Sn and their scale dependence with respect to General Relativity gravity (GR). In addition, we measure a significant increase of the non-linear σ8 parameter reaching 14, 5 and 0.5 per cent in excess of the GR value for the three flavours of our f(R) models. We further note that the values of the reduced cumulants up to order n = 9 are significantly increased in f(R) gravity for all our models at small scales R ≲ 30 h−1 Mpc. In contrast, the values of the hierarchical amplitudes, Sn, are smaller in f(R) indicating that the modified gravity density distribution functions are deviating from the GR case. Furthermore, we find that the redshift evolution of relative deviations of the f(R) hierarchical correlation amplitudes is fastest at high and moderate redshifts 1 ≤ z ≤ 4. The growth of these deviations significantly slows down in the low-redshift universe. We also compute the PDFs and show that for scales below ∼20 h−1 Mpc, they are significantly shifted in f(R) gravity towards the low densities. Finally, we discuss the implications of our theoretical predictions for measurements of the hierarchical clustering in galaxy redshift surveys, including the important problems of the galaxy biasing and redshift space distortions.
Global Co-Evolution of Firm Boundaries: Process Commoditization, Capabilities Development, and Path Dependencies

This paper studies the co-evolution of firm boundaries and capabilities by examining the influence and interplay of process commoditization, changing external availability of capabilities and firm specific paths of governance decisions, along with strategic drivers guiding these decisions. We test hypotheses on a unique and comprehensive panel of global services sourcing projects from early experiments in 1980s through 2011. Our findings suggest that initial firm governance decisions are strongly influenced by process commoditization, external availability of services, and firm strategic objectives. With experience, governance decisions are primarily affected by past decisions and emerging – internal and/or external – sourcing capabilities. The results indicate persistent heterogeneity of boundary configurations as firm and supplier capabilities develop and differentiate over time.
