Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is a legume cultivatd majorly for it’s seeds and commonly grown by subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to determine the effect of ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) mutagen on the growth, yield and some physiological parameters of non-water stressed (NWS) and water stressed (WS) bambara groundnut. It’s seeds were treated with five concentrations (0.00 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% v/v) Ethyl methane sulphonate and were grown under two conditions: non-water stressed and water stressed. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences (P ≤ 0.50) in the emergence percentage (6 DAS), germination percentage (7 DAS), plant height (PH), number of leaves per plant (NL), leaf length (LL), leaf width, (LW), relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll contents in the non-water stressed and water stressed plants. After rewatering at 8 WAS, highest number of leaves in NWS and WS conditions were observed in 0.75% EMS concentration (229, 189), highest leaf length in NWS and WS plants were observed in 0.50% EMS concentration (9.47cm, 9.13cm). Highest leaf width in NWS and WS plants was observed in 0.25% EMS concentration (4cm, 3.63cm). Highest number of pods per plant (NP) and weight of pods per plant (WP) were observed in 0.75% EMS concentration only in NWS plants. Highest chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content was observed in 1.00% EMS concentration. The result form this study showed that Ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) mutagen concentration increased the growth, yield and physiological parameters of Bambara groundnut in non-water stressed condition at different doses, however there was no positive effect of EMS on yield in the water stressed plants.

The advanced degradation of Hann Bay (Dakar, Senegal) has reached highly elevated levels, with serious environmental, health, and social consequences. Thus, this study focused on the determinants for rehabilitating Hann Bay and proposed solutions for sustainable development. The target area is currently home to 500,000 inhabitants and hundreds of industrial units, with virtually no suitable wastewater treatment systems. Socio-economic surveys and three rounds of effluent sampling were carried out between 2020 and 2022 at eleven sites in Hann-Bel Air, Dalifort Foirail, Thiaroye sur mer, Sicap Mbao, and Mbao. The study showed increased physicochemical, biological, and bacterial pollution of the heavily contaminated wastewater along the bay. The analytical results of the samples collected for the three series show that almost all sampling points exceed the limit value for TSS (50mg/l) and COD (200mg/l). This indicates that physicochemical and organic pollution are still present in the bay, causing fish to escape into the open sea. BOD measurements are also above the standard (N05-061; 80 mg/l) for series 1 and 2, showing an alteration in bay conditions. Analysis of the microbiological quality of the water in terms of oils and fats showed values well above the current standard (NS 05-061, 20-50 mg/l), which explains the frequent fish kills at the Hann marinas, Hann pêcheurs, and Cité ISRA sites. The same situation was observed in samples of fecal coliforms (CFU/100ml), helminth eggs (eggs/L), nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc, and lead at values outside the norm. Through socio-economic surveys of the populations and workers in the industrial units, the recommended solutions focus on protection and prevention measures, enforcement of regulations, communication and awareness-raising, equipment acquisition, and monitoring and surveillance to rehabilitate the bay.

Published: April 2024

The study aims to examine the relationship between family functioning, family relationship problems, and psychological well-being among young adults in the southern region of India. The data was collected from a total 265 young adults aged 18 – 26 years old, through both online and offline means i.e. hybrid method was used. Using a quantitative non-experimental design, employing correlation analysis, data was analyzed. The measures that were used in the study were Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES III), the Index of Family Relations (IFR), and Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB) – 42items. The finding of the study show that there was indeed a significant relationship between family cohesion, a subdomain in family functioning and the domains of psychological wellbeing. However, no significant relationship was observed between family adaptability, another subdomain in family functioning and the domains psychological well-being. Conversely, family relationship problems showed a significant negative correlation with various aspects of psychological well-being, indicating that higher levels of family conflict were associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of addressing family dynamics and conflict resolution strategies to promote the psychological well-being of young adults.

Published: April 2024

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a serious condition that can occur after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, commonly known as COVID-19. It involves fever, organ dysfunction, and increased inflammation markers. It was initially described as a post- infection complication of SARS-CoV-2 virus. With the development of vaccines and the efforts to control the spread of the virus, the incidence of MIS-C has decreased. There is no specific test to diagnosis a patient with this condition For patients with symptoms of MIS-C, clinicians perform a thorough evaluation, which may include blood tests, scans etc. Patients are also tested for the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19. When it comes to the treatment of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), it typically involves a multidisciplinary approach and may vary depending on the severity of the condition. Treatment often includes hospitalization for close monitoring and supportive care. This can involve intravenous fluids, medications to reduce inflammation, and management of specific organ complications. In some cases, additional interventions such as immunoglobulin therapy or steroids may be used.

Dual language education has been present in numerous institutions across the Northern Great Plain region of Hungary. Educational centres across the region have been running dual language programmes in secondary grammar schools and vocational schools for decades. As regional centre and traditional educational hub, Debrecen is also represented by a number of schools offering international programmes. Although recent socioeconomic and education policy changes have forced schools for constant renewal, bilingualism in educational programmes managed to remain popular, partly due to the achievements of foreign language subject teaching. Through the alignment of subject-specific content and the development of language competence, this form of education effectively contributes to the improvement of students’ language skills, shapes their mindset and expands their further education and increases their market value as potential workforce. This study will explore the role and impact of foreign language Geography teaching across the secondary schools of the Northern Great Plain region through the lens of teaching and educational research, by discussing some of the relevant regional findings of a broader PhD dissertation (including school visits, final exam results and a recent nationwide teacher survey). Research findings prove that Geography has been a popular subject choice to be taught in foreign languages: it has been present in the majority of the 15 dual language secondary schools of the region, it has been playing an important role in vocational school programmes and it has been chosen as final exam subject by nearly 1,000 candidates.
Dialogische Traumatherapie
Authors: Butollo Willi
Published: April 2024

Dialogische Traumatherapie ist eine nachweisbar sehr wirksame, mehrphasige, integrative Therapie für Menschen mit chronischen Beeinträchtigungen im Sinne der Volldiagnose Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) und Komplexe PTBS. In den vier Phasen »Sicherheit und Symptomexploration«, »Stabilität und Konfliktstärke«, »Dialogische Trauma-Exposition«, »Integration, Abschiede, Neuorientierung« stehen die posttraumatische Stabilisierung des Selbst und die Konfliktfähigkeit im Vordergrund. Dazu ist sowohl die Arbeit an der Bewältigung der Leitsymptome der PTBS (»Vergangenheitsbewältigung«) wie auch die Arbeit an der Gegenwartsorientierung durch Stärkung der Wahrnehmung und Beziehungsgestaltung auf Augenhöhe erforderlich, auch und besonders in der Patient-Therapeut-Beziehung (Vier-Stuhl-Technik). Neben der Symptomfreiheit werden auch besonders die Stärkung der Selbstprozesse und die (Wieder-)Herstellung der Dialogfähigkeit als wichtige Therapieziele betrachtet. Diese zu erreichen, wurde eine neue Methode der Arbeit an interaktionellen Konflikten entwickelt: die Methode der Arbeit mithilfe von vier Stühlen. Die Wirksamkeit der Dialogischen Traumatherapie ist nach klinischer Einschätzung, vor allem aber auch durch empirische, randomisierte kontrollierte Studien (RCT), wissenschaftlich auf höchstem Niveau nachgewiesen.
INFLUENCE OF рН AND Ca2+ IONS ON CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND SORPTION OF 137Cs BY CHERKASY BENTONITES (UKRAINE)
Authors: Shabalin B.H. , Yaroshenko K.K. , Mitsiuk N.B.
Published: April 2024

The safety of near-surface and deep radioactive waste storage facilities is based on a system of engineered and natural barriers. Significant degradation of the engineered barrier system composed of cemented waste matrixes covered by cement mixture, concrete compartments, and structures at the basement of the storage facility may cause radionuclide transfer from the facility to groundwater. Mixing of the cement and concrete with water leads to the formation of several various hydration products with subsequent leaching of Ca2+ ions and formation of hydroxyl ions (OH-), which affects the alkalinity of the water environment and the sorption properties of bentonite, as a component of the engineered barrier at the basement of near-surface facilities. The article presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of Ca2+ ion concentration and pH of the model solution (similar to groundwater composition at Vector Site in Chornobyl Exclusion Zone) on the elemental composition and sorption properties of natural (NB) and Na-modified (PBA-20) bentonites from the Cherkasy deposit concerning 137Cs at the Solid : Solution ratio of 1 : 100. Geochemical modeling suggests that addition of CaCl2 to test solution and resulting alkaline pH leads to precipitation of solids, mainly oxides, hydroxides, Fe oxyhydroxides (hematite, goethite, limonite), and Ca carbonates (calcite, aragonite, dolomite). Their role in Cs adsorption was evaluated. The concentration of structural elements (Si, Al) in bentonites practically does not change with Ca2+ ion concentration increase in the model solution, demonstrating the bentonite structure’s stability under these conditions. At the same time, an increase in the Ca concentration and a decrease in the Na concentration was found in the ion exchange complex of the bentonites if compared to the initial natural bentonite. This results in the transformation of Na-modified bentonite from Na, Ca-form to Ca, Na-form. The total sorption capacity of NB and PBA-20 bentonite concerning Cs+ ions at increased concentrations of Ca2+ ions and pH of the solution slightly decreases, though retaining high values of the degree of absorption (> 90 %). The total adsorption of Cs+ ions on NB and PBA-20 bentonites from model groundwater with the addition of CaCl2 from 16 to 960 mg/dm3 and increase of рН from 7.4 to 11.8 decreases with the increase in ionic strength, in particular, due to competition with Са2+ and Na+ ions. NB and PBA-20 bentonites of the Cherkasy deposit remain a reliable component of the liner at the repository basement owing to their main functional property – high absorption capacity for 137Cs, which is an important dose-forming radionuclide of short-lived low- and medium-level waste.

ABSTRACT: The dynamic relationship between prey populations and predator populations can be represent in the mathematical model. This research was developed from the mathematical model of predator-prey which was first introduced by Lotka-Volterra, namely by increasing the realism of the model through apply the logistic model to the prey and involving Holling type-III response function. The effects of drought on both populations and constant harvesting of prey are also included in the mathematical model. After the mathematical model is formed, a nondimensional model is then carried out to create a shape from the model that was built previously. This study aims to analyze the impact of drought on the prey-prey system with a type III Holling functional response and constant-yield prey harvesting. There is at least one equilibrium point and there are at most three equilibrium points in the model. Numerical simulations are carried out on the model to see the phase portrait. The simulation results show that if the rate of drought is greater than the intrinsic growth rate of prey then both populations will go towards extinction. However, on the other hand, if the intrinsic growth rate of the prey is greater than the rate of drought, then the  dynamics relationship between the predator and prey populations depends on the pattern of constant-yield prey harvesting. Thus, a stable dynamic relationship occurs on the constant-yield prey harvesting at the interval 0<h<=K(r-a1)2

Pisani postupak u sporovima male vrijednosti – radikalna promjena dosadašnje paradigme
Authors: Buljan Iva
Published: April 2024

Postupci u sporovima male vrijednosti uređeni su u zakonodavstvima brojnih država kao posebni postupci u kojima je ojačano načelo ekonomičnosti i pojednostavljen je dokazni postupak. Postupci koji traju nerazmjerno dugo u odnosu na vrijednost predmeta spora, produciraju velike parnične troškove i otežavaju građanima pravo na pristup sudu. Osim toga, takvi postupci štete malim i srednjim poduzetnicima u redovnom poslovanju i tako narušavaju gospodarsku ravnotežu. Hrvatski zakonodavac kroz brojne izmjene temeljnoga procesnog zakona tražio je najprikladnije rješenje koje bi odgovorilo potrebama suvremenog sudovanja i koje bi se integriralo u postojeći sustav. Posljednjom izmjenom Zakona o parničnom postupku iz 2022. u malične sporove uvedeno je načelo pisanosti, kao temeljno postupovno načelo, čime je učinjen značajan iskorak prema modernom sudovanju. Diskrecijsko ovlaštenje sudca na izbor pisanog postupka ovisi o okolnostima konkretnoga slučaja. Ako sudac ocijeni da radi utvrđivanja odlučnih činjenica nije potrebno provesti dokazni postupak i da se pravično suđenje može osigurati bez održavanja ročišta, opredijelit će se za tu mogućnost koju će potom biti nužno valjano obrazložiti. U ovom radu razmatraju se postojeća zakonodavna rješenja koja uređuju postupke u sporovima male vrijednosti, ispituje se njihova svrha i iznose vlastite prosudbe o praktičnom pristupu analiziranoj temi.
Funkcije upisa u zemljišnu knjigu i zaštita osobnih podataka
Authors: Ernst Hano , Josipović Tatjana
Published: April 2024

Rad problematizira zaštitu osobnih podataka u zemljišnoknjižnom sustavu u kontekstu funkcija zemljišnih knjiga u pravnom prometu nekretninama. U Republici Hrvatskoj je zemljišna knjiga neograničeno javna, pa svi imaju pravo na uvid u podatke, uključujući i osobne podatke, koji su u njoj publicirani. Članak brani tezu da je postojeći sustav adekvatan i nužan za ispravno funkcioniranje pravnog prometa nekretninama, u bitnome budući da bi ograničenje javnosti zemljišnih knjiga dovelo do smanjenja postojeće razine zaštite pravne sigurnosti u kojem ni publicitetna ni akvizitivna funkcija zemljišnih knjiga, a pogotovo zaštita povjerenja ne bi više mogle funkcionirati na odgovarajući način. Navedeno je poduprto analizom postojećeg europskog zakonodavstva, kao i prakse Europskog suda. Rad je strukturiran u tri temeljna dijela. U prvom dijelu općenito se objašnjava načelo publiciteta i funkcije zemljišne knjige, a posebno publicitetna funkcija, akvizitivna funkcija te zaštita povjerenja. Drugi dio rada uspoređuje neograničenu i ograničenu javnost zemljišne knjige, pri čemu se kao primjer ograničene javnosti uzima njemačko pravo, koje međutim pokazuje nedostatke koji zbog toga nisu primjereni model za hrvatsko pravo. Pored toga se analizira i recentna praksa Europskog suda o neograničenoj javnosti drugih registara, koja pokazuje da europsko pravo nije prepreka neograničenoj javnosti zemljišne knjige. U trećem dijelu rada razmatraju se opća pravila o zaštiti osobnih podataka iz Opće uredbe o zaštiti osobnih podataka konkretno primijenjena na hrvatski zemljišnoknjižni sustav, uključujući temeljna načela, a posebno zakonitost obrade. Rad poziva na očuvanje postojećeg sustava javnosti zemljišnih knjiga koji je jedini efikasan za pružanje odgovarajuće pravne sigurnosti u pravnom prometu nekretnina, i to bez ugrožavanja pravila o zaštiti osobnih podataka, iako uz određene modifikacije slabih točaka aktualnog uređenja koje su kritički razmotrene u radu.
Založno pravo na koncesiji na pomorskom dobru
Authors: Stanković Gordan , Tuhtan Grgić Iva
Published: April 2024

Pomorsko dobro je dobro od interesa za Republiku Hrvatsku koje se gospodarski koristi, u pravilu, putem koncesije. Razvojni projekti koji se realiziraju na temelju koncesije nerijetko uključuju angažiranje znatnih financijskih sredstava koje koncesionari pribavljaju od banaka i drugih financijskih institucija putem kredita. Kao jedno od potencijalnih sredstava osiguranja kredita, još 2003. godine u Zakonu o pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama, uvedena je mogućnost osnivanja založnog prava na koncesiji. Zbog nedostatno razrađenih odredaba, koje vjerovnicima nisu pružale dostatnu sigurnost u odnosu na mogućnost namirenja dospjele tražbine, založno pravo na koncesiji pomorskog dobra nije zaživjelo u praksi. Donošenje novog Zakona o pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama dvadeset godina kasnije (u srpnju 2023.) bilo je prilika da se uočeni nedostatci u pravnom okviru založnog prava na koncesiji pomorskog dobra uklone i ova materija detaljno uredi te time postane kvalitetnim i atraktivnim sredstvom osiguranja tražbina. U ovom se radu analiziraju odredbe novoga Zakona o pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama, kao i njihov odnos s odredbama Zakona o koncesijama, a sve kako bi se utvrdilo u kojoj mjeri novi pravni okvir pruža zadovoljavajuće osiguranje tražbina založnim vjerovnicima te kako bi se upozorilo na zakonska rješenja koja zahtijevaju daljnja poboljšanja.
Zakonska revizija dioničkih društava s posebnim osvrtom na ugovor o zakonskoj reviziji - neka otvorena pitanja
Authors: Akšamović Dubravka
Published: April 2024

Zakonska revizija kod društava kapitala jedan je od ključnih pravnih mehanizama kontrole zakonitosti poslovanja društava kapitala. Temeljni je cilj zakonske revizije osigurati objektivan, nepristran i stručan nadzor nad radom društva i uprave društva kako bi se utvrdilo je li poslovanje društva bilo u skladu sa zakonom, statutom i drugim aktima društva. Kako bi se potonji cilj i ostvario te kako bi se osigurala maksimalna objektivnost i transparentnost zakonske revizije Zakon o trgovačkim društvima predviđa da revizore društva imenuje glavna skupština društva ili eventualno sud. Imenovani revizori sklapaju s revidiranim društvom ugovor o (zakonskoj) reviziji godišnjih financijskih izvještaja. Ugovor osim uobičajenih odredbi koje su karakteristične za bilo koji drugi ugovor, obuhvaća niz specifičnih ugovornih odredbi, kao što su odredbe o trenutku sklapanja ugovora, raskidu ugovora, obvezama uprave u postupku revizije i sl. Uz navedeno, Zakon o reviziji propisuje i niz zabrana i ograničenja koja ugovor o reviziji ne smije sadržavati. Općenito gledajući riječ je o vrlo specifičnoj pravnoj materiji koja je regulirana većim brojem domaćih i međunarodnih propisa, a koja je u domaćoj doktrini selektivno i slabo obrađena. Slijedom navedenog, u radu će se provesti komparativna analiza pravnih rješenja u svezi s odabirom i imenovanjem revizora godišnjih financijskih izvještaja, kao i specifičnih pravila ugovora o zakonskoj reviziji koja propisuje Zakon o reviziji, Direktiva 2006/43/EZ te pravila austrijskog UGB-a i njemačkoga HGB-a. Provedenom analizom upozorit će se na ključne prijepore koji se javljaju i u kontekstu imenovanja revizora revizije godišnjih financijskih izvještaja i u pogledu ugovora o zakonskoj reviziji.

Published: April 2024

Neupitan je utjecaj i važnost obiteljskih društava za svjetsku ekonomiju, pa tako i za Europsku uniju i Republiku Hrvatsku. Najveći je izazov ovih društava potencijalan sukob između članova obitelji, odnosno između članova društva, te pitanje kako uspješno prenijeti poslovanje na iduću generaciju. U ovom će se radu raspravljati može li medijacija pomoći u očuvanju skladnih odnosa između članova, a time i u održavanju uspješnog poslovanja društva. Utvrdit će se teorijski i praktični okvir korištenja medijacije za razrješenje sukoba između članova obitelji, koji su ujedno uključeni u poslovanje društva kao i za mogućnost njezine primjene pri izradi strategije razvoja obiteljskog posla. Kao vodeći komparativni uzor koristit će se rješenja njemačkoga prava. Posebno će se ispitati specifičnosti sadržaja klauzula o medijaciji koje se mogu preporučiti za korištenje hrvatskim obiteljskim društvima, kao i pravni akti u koje se te klauzule mogu unositi.
Analyzing the Ratio Decidendi: Court of Appeals Decision Reversing District Court’s Ruling in an Election Process Dispute
Authors: Setiawan Angga Eka , Degu Temesgen Abebe
Published: April 2024

In practice, the General Election process disputes must be brought before the State Administrative Court. Decision Number 757/Pdt.G/2023/PN Jkt.Pst exceeded its jurisdictional limits. This is because the Central Jakarta District Court ruled over the dispute when it did not have the authority. The decision was revoked by decision Number 230/Pdt/2023/PT DKI due to its violation of applicable regulations regarding absolute competence. The legal basis for this revocation has been underscored in Article 470 of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections and Article 25 of Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. This study aims to determine the legal principle of decision Number 230/Pdt/2023/PT DKI, which overturned the Central Jakarta District Court's decision regarding the dispute over the General Election process. The research methodology utilized in this inquiry is normative legal research incorporating a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The legal materials utilized include primary legal materials, such as laws, regulations, and court decisions, and secondary legal materials, including legal books, research journals, and theses pertinent to the research area. The findings indicate that the verdict issued by the DKI Jakarta High Court Judges' Panel was justified. As part of the Supreme Court's voorpost function, the Court of Appeals is responsible for addressing judicial technical and administrative matters that arise at the initial level.
Muhammad Husein's Gender Perspectives on Inheritance in Mukomuko Customary Law
Authors: Jaya Dwi Putra , Shesa Laras
Published: April 2024

This research examines the transmission of the Mukomuko custom according to Muhammad Husein's perspective on gender studies, which posits that women possess equal status and responsibilities as males.  This research aims to analyze the correlation between gender studies, as proposed by Muhammad Husein, and the inheritance system outlined in Mukomuko customary law. This research uses a normative juridical legal method using a statutory and conceptual approach. Data processing uses inductive techniques that describe the specifics of the Mukomuko traditional heritage in the study of Islamic law with a gender approach by Muhammad Husein. Data collection techniques are based on literature originating from previous research, which will later be analyzed by comparing the two inheritance studies. Data-gathering approaches rely on prior studies' literature, which will be analyzed by comparing the two inheritance studies.   Research findings indicate that women benefit more economically from the Mukomuko custom's inheritance than men. In Mukomuko culture, the inheritance system gives priority to the maternal bloodline. According to Muhammad Hussein's gender perspective, it is important to note that this viewpoint does not align with Islamic law, as male body parts are not considered to be offered as gifts. As per Muhammad Hussein, the gender ratio is equal, with an even distribution of males and women. Muhammad Hussein's viewpoint demonstrates that Islam strongly values equality among all groups. The Quran unequivocally affirms the equality of all human beings in the eyes of Allah, with the sole distinguishing factor being their level of devotion
Independent Exercise During a Videoconference Exercise Program for Cancer Survivors
Authors: Gomes Emma L. , Crisafio Mary E. , Marker Ryan J. , Graham Dan J. , Leach Heather J.
Published: April 2024

Background

Independent exercise beyond supervised sessions can help program participants achieve recommended exercise levels and contribute to health benefits. However, independent exercise is rarely reported, making it unclear how much program effects may be attributed to the supervised sessions. The aim of this study was to describe independent exercise during a videoconference-delivered exercise program for cancer survivors.

Methods

Cancer survivors (N = 46) completed an 8-week program that included videoconference-delivered (i.e., Zoom) exercise sessions once per week and three behavior change discussions. Each week, participants reported frequency, duration, intensity, type, and context (e.g., where, type, with whom) of independent aerobic and resistance exercise.

Results

Participants (mean ± SD age = 59 ± 10 years; 96% female) had been diagnosed with either ovarian (61%), breast (30%), colorectal (4%), or other (4%) types of cancer. Days per week of independent exercise were 2.7 ± 2.7 for light, 2.8 ± 2.2 for moderate, and 0.67 ± 1.3 for vigorous aerobic exercise. For resistance exercise the days per week performed was 1.3 ± 1.5. Median weekly independent minutes were 60 (range: 0–120) for light aerobic, 120 (range: 36–270) for moderate-to-vigorous aerobic, and 30 (range: 0–60) for resistance exercise. Independent exercise performed was most frequently brisk walking or weightlifting at home or in the neighborhood and with a spouse/partner, other family, or friends.

Conclusion

Most participants engaged in substantial independent exercise outside of the supervised sessions. These findings provide detailed contextual information regarding independent exercise during an 8-week program and have implications for interpreting program effectiveness.
Addressing Physical Inactivity in Aging, Rural Communities
Authors: Kappus Rebecca M.
Published: April 2024

Background

Many individuals do not engage in adequate levels of physical activity, despite its role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Physical activity would be especially beneficial for older adults in addressing age-related concerns such as disease, cognitive dysfunction, and fall risk, all of which are mitigated via increased activity. Rural counties exhibit an aging population with high rates of sedentary behavior, requiring innovative approaches to address physical inactivity in an appropriate and accessible manner.

Methods

The Aging Well Program, under Blue Cross North Carolina’s Institute for Health and Human Services, provides assessments for concerns seen in the rural western North Carolina aging populations, such as fall risk, physical inactivity, food insecurity, and cognitive health. Exercise consultations with a clinical exercise physiologist were developed to help address the concerns emerging from the findings of the assessments.

Results

The Aging Well program has served 134 older (mean age: 74 years) rural adults. The exercise consultations are ongoing and have demonstrated several beneficial outcomes, including referrals to appropriate health professionals, the initiation or advancement of exercise programs, and the education of concepts important in exercise prescription. Although consultations have shown positive results, there is a need to address the sustainability of the program.

Conclusion

There is an urgent need to address physical inactivity in older, rural populations. Multiple barriers exist and vary based on location, resources, and individuals dwelling within those counties. Creating programs that are accessible, feasible, and sustainable should be a high priority in these areas.
Exercise Recovery Oxygen Uptake Kinetics in Comorbid Insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Authors: Girard Félix Michel , Cammalleri Amanda , Perrault Aurore A. , Dang-Vu Thien Thanh , Gouin Jean-Philippe , Pepin Véronique
Published: April 2024

Background

Delayed recovery following cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is associated with cardiac morbidity and mortality. Recovery kinetics of oxygen uptake have not been described in people with comorbid obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia (COMISA) who have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Our objectives were to (a) describe heart rate recovery (HRR), oxygen recovery slopes (V˙O2/t), and time to half recovery of V˙O2max (T1/2) following CPET in people with COMISA; and (b) investigate their response to 8 weeks of relaxation control intervention (Relax) or exercise training (Ex) consisting of 3 weekly sessions of individualized aerobic and strength training.

Methods

Participants with confirmed COMISA underwent maximal exercise testing on a cycle ergometer preintervention (n = 16) and postintervention (Ex: n = 6, Relax: n = 8). HRR and V˙O2/t (at minutes 1, 2, and 5) and T1/2 were calculated during recovery following peak exercise intensity.

Results

At baseline, HRR at minutes 1, 2, and 5 were 20 ± 7, 35 ± 8, and 49 ± 13 b·min−1, respectively, while V˙O2/t slopes were 0.731 ± 0.521, 0.590 ± 0.288, and 0.222 ± 0.096 L·min−2, respectively. T1/2 was 97 ± 64 seconds. Large effect sizes (ESs) of time × group interaction were found for HRR 5 (ηp2 = 0.232) and V˙O2/t 1 (ηp2 = 0.215) and of group for HRR2 (ηp2 = 0.275).

Conclusion

These findings suggest that recovery kinetics of oxygen uptake are delayed in people with COMISA but can improve following exercise training in comparison with a relaxation control intervention. Future studies including additional comparison groups are warranted to characterize more precisely the impact of COMISA on recovery kinetics of oxygen uptake and confirm the benefits of exercise training.
