Using the Behaviour Change Wheel Program Planning Model to Design Games for Health: Development Study

Background Games for health are a promising approach to health promotion. Their success depends on achieving both experiential (game) and instrumental (health) objectives. There is little to guide game for health (G4H) designers in integrating the science of behavior change with the art of game design. Objective The aim of this study is to extend the Behaviour Change Wheel program planning model to develop Challenges for Healthy Aging: Leveraging Limits for Engaging Networked Game-Based Exercise (CHALLENGE), a G4H centered on increasing physical activity in insufficiently active older women. Methods We present and apply the G4H Mechanics, Experiences, and Change (MECHA) process, which supplements the Behaviour Change Wheel program planning model. The additional steps are centered on identifying target G4H player experiences and corresponding game mechanics to help game designers integrate design elements and G4H objectives into behavioral interventions. Results We identified a target behavior of increasing moderate-intensity walking among insufficiently active older women and key psychosocial determinants of this behavior from self-determination theory (eg, autonomy). We used MECHA to map these constructs to intervention functions (eg, persuasion) and G4H target player experiences (eg, captivation). Next, we identified behavior change techniques (eg, framing or reframing) and specific game mechanics (eg, transforming) to help realize intervention functions and elicit targeted player experiences. Conclusions MECHA can help researchers map specific linkages between distal intervention objectives and more proximal game design mechanics in games for health. This can facilitate G4H program planning, evaluation, and clearer scientific communication.
Effects of genotype and bradyrhizobium inoculation on morphological traits, grain yield and protein content of soybean varieties

Soybean crop production in Serbia involves seed inoculation by N-fixing bacteria just before sowing time. The main objective of the current work was to assess the impact of the genotype and inoculation on range of morphological and yield traits of soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill), as well as the total protein content. The experiment was conducted on chernozem soil, where soybean was previously grown. The six local varieties were used, where each variety was sown, in three replicates for both inoculated and non-inoculated treatment. The following morphological traits were analysed: the plant height, number of lateral branches, distance to the first pod, number of pods per plant, pods (containing seeds) weight per plant, seed weight per plant, and the total grain yield. The total protein content in seeds was determined by standard analytical method, while subtle differences in qualitative protein composition were assessed using Raman spectroscopy. The total protein content varied from 39.6 to 42.15 %. Performance of inoculation resulted in an increase of the plant height and the distance to the first pod, although not in all tested varieties. The highest and the lowest plant height values were observed for non-inoculated variety Dana (59.23cm) and Sava (80.03cm), respectively. The effect of genotype was much more expressed causing differences in almost all tested characters, except for the total protein content. However, Raman spectroscopy analyses revealed distinct discrimination among surveyed varieties, and differences between inoculated and non-inoculated plants in qualitative composition of seed proteins.
Effect of an Inside–Outside School Alternated Teaching Unit of Knowledge of the Environment for Practicing Physical Activity: A Cluster Randomized Control Trial

Purpose: To examine the effect of two physical education–based alternated teaching units on students’ environmental knowledge for practicing out-of-school physical activity (PA), perceived autonomy support, self-determined and controlled motivation toward PA, intention to be physically active, self-reported and objective PA levels, and sedentary behavior. Method: A sample of 179 students (94 females) aged 13–15 years old was cluster randomly assigned to the innovative group (two alternated teaching units for practicing PA, with one lesson inside and one outside the school grounds) or the traditional group (a teaching unit for practicing PA, solely inside the school center). Results: The alternated teaching units improved students’ knowledge of their environment for practicing PA, perceived autonomy, autonomous motivation, intention to be physically active, and self-reported PA during the whole week (p < .05). Discussion/Conclusion: The innovative program improved students’ knowledge about their environment for practicing PA and self-reported PA but did not improve objectively measured PA levels.

Binding of Calcium and Magnesium Ions to Terrestrial Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM): A Combination of Steady-State and Time-Resolved Fluorescence Study

Revealing the binding properties of calcium ion (Ca2+) and magnesium ion (Mg2+) to terrestrial chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) facilities understanding the effect of natural water components on the photophysics of dissolved organic matter. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectrometry, and dynamic light scattering were applied to investigate the fluorescence quenching process of CDOM by Ca2+ and Mg2+. Due to a remarkable decrease of the steady-state fluorescence intensity and a slight decrease of fluorescence lifetime, the fluorescence quenching of CDOM by cations mainly occurred through a static process. The fluorescence quenching was profound under longer excitation and emission wavelengths. The binding constant (K, L/mol) for Ca2+ to CDOM ranged from 4.29 to 5.09 (lgK), which was approximately one order of magnitude higher than that of Mg2+ to CDOM (3.86 to 4.56). Nevertheless, the efficiency of CDOM fluorescence quenching by Ca2+, Mg2+ was much lower than that by Cu2+. Fluorescence decay became faster in the presence of a high concentration of Ca2+ (>20 mg/L) and Mg2+ (>50 mg/L). In the presence of these two metal ions, particularly for Ca2+, the lifetime of CDOM excited states shifted to the relatively small value side, indicating fluorescence quenching of CDOM mainly occurred through the interaction of Ca2+/Mg2+ with relatively long-lived fluorophores.
Playing with perspective: Narrative voice and trust in Australian independent podcasts

Narrative voice is a frequent site of experimentation in narrative journalism, and in podcasting this voice tends to be more prominent as the listener hears the narrator’s embodied voice. It can build a strong bond with the listener, which is important for independent producers as trust is not automatically afforded to them by association with a trusted media organization. This is particularly true for emerging producers, who also lack a professional reputation. This study examines the techniques used in five Australian independent podcasts to understand how they experiment with narrative voice as a podcast technique to build trust with the listener. It finds trust is built through narrative voice in four specific ways (1) first-person narration, (2) authenticity, (3) empathy and (4) emotional truth. This may allow for a greater variety of voices to be not only heard but trusted within podcasting, but also raises questions about misplaced trust.
Accumulation of cations in lettuce cultivars under low-cost hydroponic system with brackish waters

ABSTRACT The use of brackish water to cultivate lettuce can cause nutritional imbalances, impairing production. In this context, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of salinity on the accumulation of dry matter of the aerial part and macronutrients K, Ca and Mg and their relations with Na in lettuce cultivars grown in a low-cost hydroponic system. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, in a 6 × 2 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of six electrical conductivities of the nutrient solution (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 dS m-1) and two lettuce cultivars, Betty [iceberg] and Mimosa [green-leaf]. Regardless of the evaluated cultivar, the increase in the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution reduced the accumulation of dry matter in the aerial part. In both cultivars, the increase in the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution reduced the accumulations of K and Mg and increased Na/K, Na/Ca and Na/Mg ratios. The green-leaf cv. Mimosa showed Ca and Mg accumulations higher than that in the iceberg cv. Betty, regardless of electrical conductivity. The increase in electrical conductivity reduced the accumulation of K, in both cultivars evaluated. The decreasing order in the accumulation of macronutrients and sodium in both cultivars was: K > Na > Ca > Mg.

Characteristics of the onset of puberty in male kids of three breeds

The aim of the study was to trace the development of some morphological characteristics of puberty and their development up to the 44th week as well as the relationships between them, to find the best subjects based on the phenotype. Weaning weight was measured as well as their weight once a month until the 44th week. Measuring the circumference of the scrotum of experimental young bucks was performed weekly from weaning to 44 weeks of age. Monitoring of the release of the penis from the foreskin was performed weekly from weaning until the time of its full release. The average value of the circumference of the scrotum increased from the 12th week to the 39th week in total for all animals (from 15.8 to 28.4 cm), as well as by breed (BWD - 16.5 to 31 cm ), (Togenburg - 15.5 to 28.5 cm) and (Anglo-Nubian 15.8 to 26.1 cm) (p> 0.05). The variation of the trait was low throughout the study period. The earliest complete release of the penis in our study was observed in the male kids BWD breed -16 weeks. Togenburg kids reached full release at - 18 weeks. In AN kids, the release was at -24 weeks. The correlation coefficient showed a very strong reliable positive relationship between the studied factors in all three studied breeds. Testicular size and body weight could be used as a determining factor in the selection of prepubertal male kids.
An Efficient Resonant Pole Inverter With the Synchronous Switch Mode Control

A novel resonant pole inverter is proposed for the sake of the efficient operation of the three-phase inverter. When the auxiliary unit works, the main switches can accomplish zero-current turn-on and zero-voltage turn-off. Meanwhile, the auxiliary switches can accomplish zero-current turn-on and zero-current turn-off. In particular, the main switches and the auxiliary switches can accomplish the synchronous switching in each switching cycle, which can simplify the control method of the inverter. This brief discusses the operating stages of the inverter in one switching cycle and selection rules of parameters. The experiment confirms that the switching devices accomplish soft-switching. The efficiency at rated output power 3kW reaches 98.3%, which implies the efficiency advantage over the hard-switching inverter. It can be concluded that the presented inverter in this brief has important reference to the research of the high-performance inverter.

Stripping off of the Hydration Shells in the Double Layer Formation: Water Networks Matter

The double layer at the solid/electrolyte interface is a key concept in electrochemistry. Here, we present an experimental study combined with simulations, which provides a molecular picture of the double-layer formation in operando processes. By THz spectroscopy we are able to follow the stripping off of the cation/anion hydration shells for a NaCl electrolyte at the Au surface when decreasing/increasing the bias potential. While Na+ is attracted toward the electrode already at the smallest applied negative potentials, stripping-off of the Cl- hydration shell is observed only at higher potential values. These phenomena are directly measured by in operando THz spectroscopy with ultra-bright synchrotron light as a source and rationalized by accompanying molecular-dynamics simulations and electronic-structure calculations.

Determination of the prevalence of dental anomalies by digital panoramic radiography analysis

To determine the prevalence of dental abnormalities and which dental anomalies are more common in Turkish society by evaluating panoramic radiographs. This study is based on a retrospective examination of randomly selected panoramic radiographs of 2500 patients who applied to Karabük Oral and Dental Health Hospital during 2016-2020 years. Dental anomalies were evaluated by dividing them into 5 types and 16 subtypes. Also, data such as age and gender of the patients were found from the patient records and noted. The average age of the patients was 34.5 (range 6-45) years; 1167 (46.68 %) patients were male and 1333 (53.32 %) were female. Of the 2500 patients, 817 had at the lowest one type of dental anomaly; so the prevalence of dental anomaly in the research community was calculated at 32.68% (43% of these were men, 57% were women). Amongst them of 750 (91.79%) patients had one type of anomaly, 61 (7.46%) had two types of anomalies, and 6 (0.75%) had three types of anomalies. Dental anomalies are quite common disorders of teeth. Although even not to show any symptom, they can induce very kind of practical complication. The high rate of dental anomalies shows the importance of detecting dental anomalies.
Students’ Attitude toward Mathematics and its Relationship with Mathematics Achievement

The relationship between students’ attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics achievement has garnered tremendous attention from researchers. However, there is a degree of inconsistency in the findings regarding this relationship. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the profiles of students’ attitudes toward mathematics and examine their relationship with mathematics achievement. Using latent profile analysis, we examined data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study conducted in Singapore in 2019. We identified four profiles of attitudes toward mathematics, namely very negative (5.44%), negative (41.38%), neutral (38.77%), and positive (14.41%). We also confirmed the literature describing students’ attitude toward mathematics as a multidimensionally integrated construct, comprising ‘ like mathematics, ’ ‘ value mathematics, ’ and ‘ confidence in mathematics. ’ Moreover, we discovered a positive relationship between students’ attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics achievement. These results showed that the following students are more likely to have high mathematics achievement: (a) those who like to study mathematics and pursue mathematics-related activities, (b) those who believe that learning mathematics will result in a positive outcome (e.g., success in school and job opportunities), and (c) those who trust in their mathematical abilities. Therefore, educators need to examine students’ attitudes toward mathematics and provide appropriate support to stimulate the development of a positive attitude toward mathematics. This study is distinguished from previous studies by using latent profile analysis to examine the existence of different groups of students with regard to attitude toward mathematics. Moreover, this study uses nationally representative large samples and controls the effect of teachers’ instructional clarity and ho me learning resources to examine the relationship between students’ attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics achievement. The student attitude mathematics, although the effect size was small. These results showed that the are more likely to have high mathematics achievement: (a) those who to study mathematics-related activities, (b) those who believe that learning mathematics will result in a positive outcome (e.g., success in school and job opportunities), and (c) those who trust in their mathematical abilities.
