Background: Previously we reported that acute supplementation with an amylopectin- chromium complex combined with a six-gram dose of whey protein increased rates of muscle protein synthesis. The purpose of this study was to examine if chronic supplementation with the same amylopectin-chromium complex plus a higher dose of protein could impact resistance training adaptations, recovery, and biomarkers of safety.Methods: Using a randomized, active-controlled, double-blind design, 35 recreationally active men (mean ± age, height, weight: 40.9 ± 7.6 y, 180.2 ± 6.1 cm, 95.8 ± 14.5 kg) were matched according to HOMA-IR and resistance-training experience and then randomly allocated to one of three groups: an active group consisting of 2 g amylopectin-chromium complex + 15 g whey protein isolate (V15P), an equivalent dose of whey protein isolate (15 g of whey protein, 15P), or a 30 gram dose of whey protein isolate (30P). Subjects consumed their respective supplement immediately following resistance exercise on days when training occurred and at the same time of day on non-training days. At 0, 4, and 8 weeks of training, body composition (4C via DXA, Bod Pod, Bioimpedance), whole-body protein balance (oral 15N-alanine), upper body and lower body performance (bench press, squat, jump power), and visual analog scale (VAS) scores for recovery, sleep quality, energy, willingness to train, and muscle soreness were assessed. Safety assessments included systemic hemodynamics, complete blood count, and comprehensive metabolic panels. Results: All groups gained strength, increased fat-free mass, and improved muscle size. Similarly, all groups increased squat repetitions to failure (RTF), with V15P experiencing a greater increase (+25.3 reps, p = 0.02) when compared to 15P (+12.0 reps) and 30P (+13.9 reps). After normalizing data to body mass, vertical jump power increased (p = 0.03) more for V15P (+2.1 Watts/kg) than either 15P (+0.4 Watts/kg) or 30P (+0.3 Watts/kg). Vertical jump height calculated from power output increased more in V15P (+8.7 cm, p = 0.04) than 15P (+1.6 cm) and 30P (+0.9 cm). Net protein balance was greater (p = 0.04) in V15P compared to 15W and 30W at four weeks (p < 0.05), but this difference was not observed after eight weeks (p = 0.51). No changes in VAS were identified between groups. Diastolic blood pressure decreased in V15P (p = 0.002) compared to the other groups, and outside of an interaction for creatinine and aspartate aminotransferase (which still remained well within clinical limits), all blood- based markers of safety demonstrated no differences between groups.

Authors: Vaccaro Juliana , Stefani Giuseppe , Dos Santos Leonardo , Pizzato Alessandra
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Protein microparticles are crucial for their sensory properties and applicability in food production. This study has the objective of correlating protein particle length and content in different sources of protein supplements.Methods: An analytical observational study with protein supplements (n=30) from different sources was carried out to estimate the protein content and the particle length in the samples. Protein content data was obtained via total nitrogen content. The samples were also analyzed for protein particle lengths using the scanning electron microscope.Results: The comparison between the average particle length of each group of protein supplements analyzed has shown significant statistical difference (F=139.6; p<0.001). Whey Protein Isolate showed higher particle length, compared to other supplements (57.7±42.1 µm; p<0.001). However, no evidence of a significant difference in protein concentrations among supplements was detected (F=1.072; p=0.4004). In addition, no evidence of a significant correlation between protein concentration and particle length was observed (R2=0.001; p=0.8476).Conclusions: Although a difference in the protein particle length of different supplements for athletes was found, there is no correlation between protein concentration and particle length in the studied protein supplements from different sources Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Blend Whey Protein, Veggies, Beef and Albumin.
The Potential for Computerized Eye Tracking Technology to Improve Bilateral Stimulation Methodology and Assessment
Authors: Lape Kaiser Jennifer , Bennett Maura
Published: May 2024

Bilateral stimulation is also called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and is a psychotherapeutic technique for treating PTSD and other mental health issues. Trauma affects brain activity, and EMDR may help rewire that activity through use of bilateral stimulation (BLS) during memory processing. BLS typically involves eye movements; tracking a stimulus back and forth. However, the effectiveness of EMDR is debated due to limited research on its neurological mechanisms and methodological inconsistencies in the literature. Inconsistencies include lack of concrete methodology and inconclusive meta-analyses. The traditional EMDR eight-phase protocol involves history, assessment, desensitization, and more. A major appeal of EMDR for clients includes the low requirement for verbalizing traumatic memories in session, but effectiveness assessment relies on self-report. Eye tracking technology could address the standardization issues with EMDR while also enhancing protocols and research. Standardized EMDR, online or in-person, could improve outcomes and expand its applications.
Perdidos en la desintegración

Published: May 2024

La sociedad regional sudamericana se ha deteriorado en la última década. Frente al malestar social y político, los gobiernos han decidido responder a través de la militarización. Al mismo tiempo, las relaciones vecinales se han tensionado debido a diferencias ideológicas. La literatura ha logrado capturar y explicar los motivos del malestar a nivel doméstico sin ahondar en cómo afecta la forma en la que los vecinos se relacionan entre sí. En este trabajo busco entender cómo las dinámicas políticas y sociales internas están afectando las relaciones interestatales en la región. Postulo que la militarización doméstica y la distancia ideológica entre presidentes son un impedimento para avanzar en la cooperación en materia de defensa. Este trabajo busca responder las siguientes preguntas: ¿cómo la militarización doméstica y la distancia ideológica entre presidentes afectan la cooperación? ¿Cuáles son los niveles de cooperación? ¿Bajo qué condiciones se puede deteriorar una relación vecinal? Para responderlas, analizo las relaciones diádicas en materia de defensa y adopto un método mixto que combina el análisis estadístico descriptivo, la técnica QCA y el estudio de caso para identificar las combinaciones causales que llevan a que los estados dejen de cooperar. El análisis estadístico permite describir el estado de situación en la región, mientras el QCA revela que una alta militarización doméstica y una amplia distancia ideológica lleva a que los países dejen de cooperar. El análisis del caso “most-likely” de Brasil y Venezuela permite entender cómo la militarización doméstica se percibe de manera negativa cuando la brecha ideológica se amplía. La conclusión de este trabajo es que un estado percibirá la militarización de otro estado como una amenaza a su seguridad cuando la distancia ideológica entre ellos es amplia, llevando así al deterioro de la cooperación.

Is Gender Equality Possible? The Situation in Bulgaria and around the World
Authors: Hristova Gergana
Published: May 2024

In this text, I am basing my discussion on the World Economic Forum report for 2022, which shows that global gender equality could take another 132 years, measuring inequality in four main areas: economy, education, health, and political representation. While 47 countries show equality in literacy, significant gaps remain, especially in Africa and South Asia. Educational access is higher among women, but global issues such as poverty and discrimination continue to hinder girls’ access to education. Progress has been observed in Asia, while inequalities remain stable in North Africa. The EU reports a higher level of completed tertiary education among women compared to men, aiming for 45% completion by 2030. However, women still bear the primary responsibility for caregiving and household work, especially in rural areas. Women’s labor rights and economic opportunities are improving, but are still affected by discriminatory practices and social norms. Progress in gender equality varies around the world, with greater advances observed in Western societies compared to traditional societies where women still struggle for basic rights.
