Applied high-intensity interval cardio yoga improves cardiometabolic fitness, energetic contributions, and metabolic flexibility in healthy adults

Purpose: Currently, there is no interventional approach to increase the intensity of Surya Namaskar a popular hatha yoga sequence used worldwide. Therefore, this study investigated how tempo-based high-intensity interval cardio yoga (HIICY) and traditional interval hatha yoga (TIHY) affects cardiometabolic fitness in active adults. Methods: Twenty physically active male and female individuals were randomly separated into HIICY (5 males, 5 females, 1.5 s tempo) and TIHY (5 males, 5 females, 3 s tempo) groups. The intervention included twelve exercise sessions for 4 weeks in both groups. Participants conducted a ramp test to determine their maximal oxygen uptake ( V˙ O2max), maximal velocity at V˙ O2max (v V˙ O2max), and maximal heart rate (HRmax). Afterward, they performed a 10-min high-intensity cardio yoga test (HICYT) to determine heart rate (HRpeak and HRmean), oxygen uptake ( V˙ O2peak and V˙ O2mean), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), blood lactate concentrations (La− peak and ∆La−), fat and carbohydrate oxidations (FATox, CHOox), and energetic contributions (oxidative; W Oxi, glycolytic; W Gly, and phosphagen; W PCr, total energy demand; W Total). Results: V˙ O2max and v V˙ O2max showed time and group × time interactions (p < 0.01, p < 0.0001, p < 0.001, respectively). V˙ O2max after HIICY was significantly higher than in pre-testing and following TIHY (p < 0.001, p < 0.0001, respectively). V˙ O2peak, V˙ O2mean, RER, HRpeak, and HRmean during the 10-min HICYT showed significant time effects (p < 0.05). ∆La− indicated a group × time interaction (p < 0.05). Group x time interaction effects for FATox at the fourth and sixth minute were observed (p < 0.05, respectively). Absolute (kJ) and relative (%) W Oxi, W Gly, and W Total showed time and group × time interaction effects (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). Furthermore, %W Gly was reduced following HIICY (p < 0.05). Additionally, V˙ O2max and v V˙ O2max were highly correlated with W Oxi in kJ (r = 0.91, 0.80, respectively). Moderate to high correlations were observed among CHOox, FATox, and absolute V˙ O2max (r = 0.76, 0.62, respectively). Conclusion: A 4-week period of HIICY improved cardiometabolic fitness, oxidative capacity, and metabolic flexibility compared with TIHY, in physically active adults. Therefore, HIICY is suitable as HY-specific HIIT and time-efficient approach for relatively healthy individuals.

On the Relationship Between Water Vapor over the oceans

Monthly mean precipitable water data obtained from passive microwave radiometry are correlated with the NMC blended sea surface temperature data. It is shown that the monthly mean water vapor content of the atmosphere above the oceans can generally be prescribed from the sea surface temperature with a standard deviation of 0.36 gcm -2. The form of the relationship between precipitable water and sea surface temperature in the range Ts > 18°C also resembles that predicted from simple arguments based on the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship. The annual cycle of the globally integrated mass of SMMR water vapor is shown to differ from analyses of other water vapor data in both phase and amplitude and these differences point to a significant influence of the continents on water vapor. Regional scale analyses of water vapor demonstrate that monthly averaged water vapor data, when contrasted with the bulk sea surface temperature relationship developed in this study, reflect various known characteristics of the time mean largescale circulation over the oceans. A water vapor parameter is introduced to highlight the effects of large-scale motion on atmospheric water vapor. Based on the magnitude of this parameter, it is shown that the effects of large-scale flow on precipitable water vapor are regionally dependent, but for the most part, the influence of circulation is generally less than about =t=20_ of the seasonal
Amplitudes of surface waves and magnitudes of shallow earthquakes

A study of amplitudes of surface waves having periods of about 20 seconds is employed to improve the calculation of magnitudes of distant shallow earthquakes. Table 3 gives station corrections; table 4, revised figures for the effect of epicentral distance. It is found that for epicentral distances between about 20° and 175° the average observed amplitudes correspond closely to those calculated with an absorption coefficient k = 0.0003 per km. For paths completely outside or inside the Pacific Basin, k = 0.0002± per km. , while for paths tangent to its boundary the amplitudes of surface waves with periods of about 20 seconds may be reduced by two-thirds or more (in extreme cases by almost nine-tenths) through reflection or refraction of energy; such seismograms of shallow shocks may be taken as indicating intermediate depth of focus.
MODELING BRINE REFLUX USING THE PITZER ION-INTERACTION MODEL IN TOUGHREACT

Reflux of a penesaline (186‰) brine and resulting water-rock interactions were simulated using a modification of TOUGHREACT that incorporates the Pitzer ion-interaction theory. The brine is sourced from a 5 km wide brine pool in the interior of a 25 km wide platform and flows basinward through a 3 km thick sequence of grain-dominated packstone sediments. Ion interactions reduce dolomite supersaturation and anhydrite undersaturation predicted using the Pitzer approach compared with the DebyeHuckel approach, but increase calcite undersaturation. This increased undersaturation, combined with enhanced fluid flow above a shallower zone of anhydrite precipitation, results in more rapid dolomitization despite the lower initial dolomite saturation. The penesaline brines reflux at up to 7 my -1 , three times the maximum flow rate in identical simulations involving a mesohaline (85‰) brine, in direct proportion to the difference in the density gradient. However, dolomitization is an order of magnitude faster for the penesaline brine, with replacement of all limestone to a depth of 43 m within 50 ky. Even after 1 My of penesaline-brine reflux, alteration is largely limited to sediments underlying the brine pool. In contrast, the penesaline brine forms a tabular dolomite body extending some 20 km to the platform margin. The upper 200 m of porous dolomite, lacking significant primary dolomite cements, overlies a thick (>700 m) zone where anhydrite cements plug up to 25% of the porosity. Penesaline brine reflux forms less anhydrite cement, due both to slower anhydrite precipitation (driven by slower upstream dolomitization), and to more . rapid anhydrite dissolution once dolomitization is complete.
POPULATION ESTIMATES AND DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS OF IRRAWADDY DOLPHINS (ORCAELLA BREVIROSTRIS) AND INDO-PACIFIC FINLESS PORPOISES (NEOPHOCAENA PHOCAENOIDES) IN THE KUCHING BAY, SARAWAK

Small boat surveys were conducted in the Kuching Bay area of Sarawak, East Malaysia, in order to determine the distribution and abundance of coastal cetaceans. Photographic data collected from Jul.2007 through Oct.2010 was used to generate mark-recapture abundance estimates of Irrawaddy dolphins in the study area, and provided insights into ranging patterns and site fi delity. Between Apr. 2010 and Oct.2011, line transect surveys were conducted, and abundance estimates for Irrawaddy dolphins and Indo-Pacific finless porpoises were generated using distance sampling. The best mark-recapture estimate for Irrawaddy dolphins based on a weighted mean of estimates derived from photographs of left sides and right sides of dorsal fins was 233 (CV = 22.5%, 95% CI 151–360). Resighted individuals showed a high degree of site-fi delity, with less than 10 km between sighting locations over a period of four years for some individuals. A smaller proportion of re-sighted individuals ranged further—with a maximum straight-line distance of 26 km between sighting locations. The best line-transect estimate for Irrawaddy dolphins was 149 individuals (CV = 28%, 95% confi dence interval 87–255). The line-transect estimate for fi nless porpoises was 135 individuals (CV = 31%, 95% confidence interval 74–246). Finless porpoise abundance varied seasonally, with higher densities observed between Mar. and May, coinciding with the occurrence of larger groups with very small calves. The line transect and mark-recapture derived estimates for Irrawaddy dolphins are compared, and viewed in the context of mapped relative densities that reveal key areas of habitat for the species. These abundance estimates provide a critical step toward the assessment of both species’ local conservation status and can be used in the design of effective management strategies.
Tectonic role of active faulting in central Oregon

Geologic and geodetic studies in California indicate that about 1 cm yr−1 of right-lateral shear occurs across what has been referred to as the Eastern California Shear Zone. Northwest trending zones of dextral, sinistral, and normal faults splay eastward from the San Andreas system, continuing through the Mojave Desert, east of the Sierra Nevada, and northward along the Central Nevada and Walker Lane fault zones. Aerial photography, field investigations, and fault studies in southern and central Oregon, compiled with a comprehensive analysis of previous studies nearby, indicate that latest Pleistocene and Holocene fault activity is concentrated along four zones that stretch northward into the Cascade volcanic arc and across the northwestern edge of the Basin and Range Province. The Oregon zones appear to continue the activity in eastern California and northwestern Nevada northward and provide a connection to seismically active zones in southern and central Washington. Several techniques are applied to fault data from the Oregon zones in an attempt to estimate the overall direction and rate of motion across them. The orientations and styles of faults younger than middle Tertiary are used with models of oblique rifting to estimate that the motion of western Oregon is ∼N60° ± 20°W, relative to North America. Summation of geologic moment tensors from faults with latest Pleistocene and Holocene slip yields a direction ∼N90° ± 30°W at a rate of ∼0.5 mm yr−1. This result is a minimum since many fault scarps have not been preserved or recognized, and additional deformation is recorded as folding and tilting. Crustal strain associated with slip during 76 of the largest crustal earthquakes in the past 120 years located along this broad zone from northern California and Nevada, across Oregon, to Washington and Vancouver Island, indicates motions at rates of 3 ± 1 mm yr−1 in a direction N55° ± 10°W. Although the motion across central Oregon is much slower, its similarity in style with regions to the north and south suggests that the regional averages are meaningful. Oregon fault zones, taken together, may accommodate as much as 6 mm yr−1 oriented ∼N60° to 70°W. A tectonic model of fault activity reveals that this proposed shear zone through Nevada, Oregon, and Washington can account for 10% to 20% of the total Pacific-North American transform motion and much of the lateral component of relative motion between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates.
Research progress on the calculation model of critical liquid carrying flow of gas well

The accumulation of liquid in gas wells has become a prevalent problem in the middle and later stages of gas well development with different wellbore structures, which seriously affects the production efficiency of gas wells. To precisely forecast the generation time of liquid accumulation in gas wells and timely adopt drainage gas production technology, the literatures on gas critical liquid‐carrying flow calculation models for vertical wells, inclined wells and horizontal wells were analyzed and summarized. The results show that the research on the calculation models for gas critical liquid‐carrying flow rate in vertical and inclined wells is relatively mature. However, because of the unique wellbore structure of horizontal wells, the gas‐liquid two‐phase flow pattern and distribution of droplets and liquid‐film are complex, leading to a lack of understanding of gas liquid carrying mechanism throughout the whole wellbore of existing horizontal wells, and we established a calculation model of gas critical liquid‐carrying flow rate in horizontal wells considers single factors. Based on the above summary and analysis, the research direction of the calculation model for gas critical liquid‐carrying flow rate in the entire wellbore of horizontal wells is pointed out. Combining the gas liquid‐carrying test of entire wellbore of the horizontal well, considering the distribution form of droplets and liquid‐film, the aggregation and fission between droplets, and the energy exchange between gas and liquid, the gas liquid‐carrying mechanism of the entire wellbore of horizontal well is revealed, clarifying the most easy to liquid‐accumulating well sections in the whole horizontal well, and a calculation model of gas critical liquid‐carrying flow rate of horizontal well considering multiple factors is established, providing crucial theoretical foundation and technical support for the drainage and gas recovery of a horizontal well.
The Role of Halal Awareness on the Relationship between Religiosity and Halal Purchase Intention

This study aims to investigate the effect of religiosity and halal awareness on halal purchase intention and analyze the mediating effect of halal awareness on the relationship between religiosity and halal purchase intention. The cluster sampling method was employed to select the sample size, and the total sample was 400 respondents from three regions of Aceh Province. This study used Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) AMOS to predict a set of indicators of latent variables constructed by several dimensions and indicators, i.e., religiosity was measured by ritual, ideology, intellectual, passion, and consequential dimensions, while halal awareness was determined by five indicators, as well as halal purchase intention. The validity and reliability were tested, and all the latent constructs had a good discriminant validity value. Additionally, the full model after modification was utilized to raise the Goodness of Fit (GOF). The results demonstrated that religiosity positively and significantly affected halal awareness. Similarly, religiosity and halal awareness positively and significantly affected halal purchase intention. It indicates that increasing religiosity and halal awareness enhance interest in buying halal food. It can be concluded that religiosity and awareness are vital indicators in explaining the increasing interest in buying halal products. Moreover, the mediating effect results uncovered a partial mediation of halal awareness on the relationship between religiosity and halal purchase intention. It implies that halal awareness has an essential role in mediating this relationship.
Diagenetic controls on reservoir properties of carbonate successions within the Albian–Turonian of the Arabian Plate

ABSTRACT The carbonate-dominated Albian to Turonian succession is one of the key petroleum systems of the Arabian Plate. It is dominated by shallow water platform carbonates that were deposited in a shallow epeiric sea on the margins of Neotethys. In general, the reservoirs in this succession have high porosities but exhibit heterogeneous permeabilities. This study reviews published data for the region and attempts to unravel the key diagenetic controls on the porosity and permeability of the reservoirs. The results demonstrate that a spectrum of diagenetic processes created highly heterogeneous multimodal pore networks. Intense boring and micritization of skeletal allochems, differential cementation of a pervasive burrow network and preferential dissolution of aragonitic skeletal allochems are ubiquitous. Locally, particularly on the northern and eastern Arabian Plate, deep-penetrating epikarst can be tied to a differential response to global sea level fluctuation and local tectonism. The development of a peripheral bulge in late Cenomanian–Turonian times, halokinesis, localized influx of channelized clastic material and sub-regional climatic variability contributed to a heterogeneous pattern of meteoric diagenesis across the Arabian Plate. The succession was then buried to up to 10 km during the Late Cretaceous–Tertiary. Where deep-penetrating fault systems were reactivated by Alpine tectonism, flushing by hydrothermal brines resulted in highly localized patterns of hydrothermal dolomitization and leaching, associated with hydrocarbon emplacement.
Molecular Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. (Borreliella) and Chlamydia-Like Organism DNA in Early Developmental Stages of Arthropod Vector Species

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) is spirochetes transmitted by ticks and known to cause Lyme disease. Chlamydia-like organisms (CLOs) comprise a large group of bacteria that can lead to serious health disorders, including miscarriage. Recently, CLOs have been found in ticks and patient skin biopsies. Due to the involvement of multiple potential vectors in the spread of these pathogens, the objective of this study was to confirm the presence of both organisms in the early developmental stages of selected vectors. Three potential vectors, Ixodes ricinus larvae, Culex pipiens larvae, and winged (unfed) adults of Lipoptena cervi, were collected in the Czech Republic in years 2019–2020. The presence of Bbsl and panchlamydial DNA was detected by PCR and positive samples were further analyzed by Sanger sequencing and phylogenetic tree construction. Bbsl DNA was proved in 1.5% (2/137) of I. ricinus larvae (identified as Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii), in 1.7% (2/119) of C. pipiens larvae (both identified as B. garinii), and in 11% (3/27) of L. cervi (all identified as B. garinii). CLOs were identified in 0.7% (1/137) of I. ricinus larvae (Candidatus Protochlamydia) and in 7.4% (2/27) of L. cervi (unspecified genus), while C. pipiens larvae could not be evaluated (0%). This research represents the first investigation of the presence of CLOs in L. cervi. The detection of pathogen DNA in the early developmental stages of vectors suggests the potential for transgenerational transmission of Bbsl and CLOs in the selected vectors, although at a low rate.
Valuing local recreation in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

This paper aims to identify local recreational use values for recreation in and adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park using the travel cost methodology, focusing on beach, island, and fishing, boating and sailing trips. Of the 1051 responses to the survey, drawn randomly from households between Bundaberg and Cairns, 87% indicated they had taken a trip to one beach (“most preferred beach”), 73% undertook a trip to a second beach (“second most preferred beach”), 30% undertook a trip to an island, and 42% undertook a fishing/boating/sailing trip over the last two years. Probit models were used to represent the choice to take a recreation activity, while count data models (zero truncated negative binomial models) were used to model the zero truncated positive integer count data. Average values per person per trip per day were estimated at $35 for beaches, $331 for Islands, and $183 for fishing, boating and sailing activities (although the value for the latter group is not significant). Additional information about how variation within population groups may affect the demand for recreation activities has been gained by trailing the use of quantile regression models to estimate recreation values as well as the more standard count data models. The results are likely to represent the lower value of recreation activities because travel time and location investment costs have not been included in the analysis.
Tuberculosis and Sudden Death in Lithuania

Background Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. 10.6 million people fell ill in 2021 and 1.6 million died from the disease. Lithuania has the third-highest tuberculosis incidence rate per 100,000 and the second-highest mortality rate per 100,000 in EU/EEA countries. During 2015–2021 years, there were 799 deaths of pulmonary tuberculosis in Lithuania. However, the presence of pulmonary tuberculosis is often unknown before death and is only revealed during autopsy. The aim of the study is to review current literature on this topic and present statistical analysis on evaluated socioeconomical, epidemiological indicators, as well as autopsy findings that may suggest pulmonary tuberculosis infection. Materials and methods This research was designed as a retrospective study focusing on full forensic pathology autopsies between 2015 and 2021. Of these, 100 cases were randomly selected where the cause of death was tuberculosis diagnosed during post-mortem examination and compared to a control group consisting of 415 cases of sudden death. Results The study revealed that out of 100 pulmonary tuberculosis cases, 90% were male with the mean age of 53.48 ± 11.12 years old. In the case of sudden death where tuberculosis was found, a significant portion of the sample (91%) was not followed up at any medical institution. Regarding socioeconomic factors, a moderate negative correlation between Lithuania’s gross domestic product and tuberculosis distribution was observed, as well as a weak negative correlation between alcohol consumption (l per capita) in the general population and tuberculosis distribution. The lung weight of the pulmonary tuberculosis group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusions Tuberculosis remains a major problem in Lithuania and the combination of socioeconomic indicators determines the prevalence of tuberculosis in the country. In cases of sudden death, autopsy helps to identify tuberculosis cases that have not been clinically detected and ensures tuberculosis monitoring. Therefore, the person who performs autopsy remains at high risk of contracting tuberculosis. Furthermore, extreme caution is advised if higher lung weight or hardenings are seen during autopsy because of the possibility of tuberculosis.
Effect of recent revisions to the geomagnetic reversal time scale on estimates of current plate motions

Recent revisions to the geomagnetic time scale indicate that global plate motion model NUVEL-1 should be modified for comparison with other rates of motion including those estimated from space geodetic measurements. The optimal recalibration, which is a compromise among slightly different calibrations appropriate for slow, medium, and fast rates of seafloor spreading, is to multiply NUVEL-1 angular velocities by a constant, α, of 0.9562. We refer to this simply recalibrated plate motion model as NUVEL-1A, and give correspondingly revised tables of angular velocities and uncertainties. Published work indicates that space geodetic rates are slower on average than those calculated from NUVEL-1 by 6±1%. This average discrepancy is reduced to less than 2% when space geodetic rates are instead compared with NUVEL-1A.
