Abstract
Metaxas, TI. Match running performance of elite soccer players: V̇o
2max and players position influences. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 162–168, 2021—The aims of this study were (a) to assess the relationship between laboratory-measured V̇o
2max with total distance covered in a soccer match, (b) to assess the relationship between laboratory-measured V̇o
2max with the distance covered at a different running intensity in a soccer match, (c) to quantify different intensity running in various playing positions, and (d) to determine the differences of running performance between halves. Analyzed match running performance of the Greek elite (n = 14) soccer players using a global positioning system within the second division professional league. No correlation was found between V̇o
2max and match running performance at any velocity. The players covered greater distances in the first half at all speed levels except walking. In the first half, they covered a greater distance than in the second half (1,533 vs. 1,297 m, p < 0.001; 879 vs. 708 m, p < 0.001; 433 vs. 359 m, p < 001; 185 vs. 152 m, p < 0.01; 81.4 vs. 65.5 m, p < 0.001) when jogging, running, high-intensity running, fast running, sprint and total, respectively. Wide players covered greater distances at fast running (p < 0.001) and sprint zone than the players who played at the axon of the field (348 vs. 297 and 186 vs. 113 m, respectively). In addition, midfielders covered a greater distance at high-intensity running zone and at fast running zone than the defenders and forwards (1,768 vs. 1,372 m, p < 0.01 and 1,768 vs. 1,361 m, p < 0.01; 686 vs. 878 m, p < 0.01 and 709 vs. 878 m, p < 0.05, respectively). The results demonstrate that match running performance and the distance covered depends on the tactical role of each player in the team. These data provide valuable information for coaches regarding the running profile of the Greek elite soccer players that could be used to design a more effective training program.

Abstract
Brewer, CB, Booher, BM, and Lawton, N. Comparison of acute energy expenditure and rating of perceived exertion in equivalent bouts of circuit training and treadmill running. J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 680–687, 2021—Circuit weight training (CT) maximizes exercise density, which may lead to an inaccurate perception of energy expenditure (EE). The purpose of this study was to compare acute EE indices and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) between CT and an equivalent bout of treadmill running (TR). College-aged men (n = 9) who regularly engaged in running and resistance training performed CT first. Circuit weight training that consisted of 10 resistance stations (40% of 1 repetition maximum, 15 repetitions, 60 b·min−1) was performed for 20 minutes. Heart rate (HR) and EE (Cosmed K4b2) were monitored continuously, and RPE was assessed consistently. A 20-min TR session was performed at the average HR maintained during CT. Dependent t-tests were used to assess differences in RPE, total EE (TEE, kcal), rate of EE (REE, kcal·min−1), and relative REE (RREE, kcal·kg−1·min−1) between CT and TR. Pearson's correlation was used to examine relationships between RPE and EE indices. Total EE was lower during CT (168.19 ± 16.42) than TR (244.20 ± 44.80); REE was lower during CT (8.49 ± 0.90) than TR (12.21 ± 2.24); and RREE was lower during CT (0.10 ± 0.02) than TR (0.15 ± 0.02) (all p < 0.001). Circuit weight training RPE (6.0 ± 1.1) was greater than TR (4.1 ± 0.6) (p < 0.001). There was no association between RPE and EE indices (p > 0.05). The average HR elicited by CT was 61% HR reserve. At equivalent HRs and duration, CT resulted in a significantly higher RPE but lower EE. It is imperative for subjects engaged in CT to understand that although CT results in HR values within an aerobic training zone and feels more strenuous, it is not associated with greater acute EE.
Membrane Fluidity Is Regulated Cell Nonautonomously byCaenorhabditis elegansPAQR-2 and Its Mammalian Homolog AdipoR2

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe properties of cell membranes are determined mostly by the types of fatty acids that they contain. Bodhicharla et al. report that a key regulator of membrane fluidity, the PAQR-2/IGLR-2 protein complex...Maintenance of membrane properties is an essential aspect of cellular homeostasis of which the regulatory mechanisms remain mostly uncharacterized. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the PAQR-2 and IGLR-2 proteins act together as a plasma membrane sensor that responds to decreased fluidity by promoting fatty acid desaturation, hence restoring membrane fluidity. Here, we used mosaic analysis for paqr-2 and iglr-2, and tissue-specific paqr-2 expression, to show that membrane homeostasis is achieved cell nonautonomously. Specifically, we found that expression of paqr-2 in the hypodermis, gonad sheath cells, or intestine is sufficient to suppress systemic paqr-2 mutant phenotypes, including tail tip morphology, membrane fluidity in intestinal cells, cold and glucose intolerance, vitellogenin transport to the germline, germ cell development, and brood size. Finally, we show that the cell nonautonomous regulation of membrane homeostasis is conserved in human cells: HEK293 cells that express AdipoR2, a homolog of paqr-2, are able to normalize membrane fluidity in distant cells where AdipoR2 has been silenced. Finally, using C. elegans mutants and small interfering RNA against Δ9 stearoyl-CoA desaturase in HEK293 cells, we show that Δ9 desaturases are essential for the cell nonautonomous maintenance of membrane fluidity. We conclude that cells are able to share membrane components even when they are not in direct contact with each other, and that this contributes to the maintenance of membrane homeostasis in C. elegans and human cells.

Esophageal strictures are the most common complications of bullous epidermolysis in children. Strictures cause the development of dysphagia that prevents oral alimentation and receipt of an adequate amount of nutrients that is accompanied by a violation of nutritional status, weight loss, and delayed physical development of a child. Disturbed swallowing can also cause aspiration syndrome, pneumonia, and airway obstruction. To eliminate dysphagia and reduce the risk of complications, it is necessary to restore esophageal patency. The article describes the results of X-ray with assisted balloon dilatation in 19 children with bullous epidermolysis and dysphagia. It is shown that this method of esophagus recanalization allows to effectively and safely restore oral alimentation of children already in the first day after intervention with a gradual expansion of the diet.

Background.Etanercept is a biological drug most commonly used in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The results of its use are showed in local studies.Objective.Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of etanercept in children with non-systemic JIA, to determine the predictors of remission and the risk factors for the development of exacerbations.Methods.In a retrospective cohort study, the results of etanercept treatment (remission, exacerbations, adverse events) in children with non-systemic JIA were analyzed. The minimum follow-up period was 6 months.Results.The period of remission within 6–36 months occurred in 77/131 (58.8%), exacerbations developed in 18/129 (14.0%) patients. Predictors of achieving remission were the age of JIA onset < 8 years [relative risk (RR) 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27–3.23], the age of prescribing etanercept ≤ 10 years (RR 1.7, 95% CI 1.22–2.38), the time of the disease prior to etanercept prescription < 2.5 years (RR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4–4.4), the presence of HLA-B27 antigen (RR 2.15, 95% CI 0.98–4.75; p = 0.06). The risk of exacerbations was higher in children with polyarticular JIA (RR 2.7, 95% CI 0.9–8.2; p = 0.08), whereas methotrexate therapy reduced the risk of exacerbations (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.1–1.15; p = 0.05). Etanercept was discontinued due to primary (improvement by the ACRpedi criteria after 3 months of therapy <30%) or secondary (loss of previously achieved ≥ 30% improvement) failure in 14/152 (9.2%) patients; de novo uveitis developed in 8/152 (5.3%) patients; reactions at the injection site — in 6/152 (4.0%) patients.Conclusion.Therapy involving etanercept is more likely to induce remission in younger patients with JIA onset at the age of 8 years and a history of less than 2.5 years. A high risk of exacerbations was noted in patients with polyarticular JIA, and low one — in those receiving methotrexate as a part of combined therapy.
Как сознание решает задачи научения и заучивания
Authors: Аллахвердов Виктор Михайлович 
Published: July 2018

It is not an organism but consciousness, that studies, remembers andlearns to use the resources of the organism for solving the problems. Consciousness tries to guess the information that is kept in the organism’s memory or the actions that an organism is able for and that are essential for the achievement of the required effect. It verifies its hypotheses in the experience, but simultaneously tries to protect them from the disproof.Such conception has been illustrated by many experiments, in whichthree tendencies of subjects are proved: not to realize the thing that has once already been not realized; to repeat one’s own mistakes, first of all, in the cases of increasing successfulness of the acts; to raise the effectiveness of memorizing and learning by complicating irrelevant components of task.

Published: July 2018

Background & Objective: Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) is one of the main effective components
of Panax notoginseng.

Method:
Primary cortical neurons were harvested from neonatal rats and cultured to analyze the role
of NGR1 in neuronal growth and the effects of NGR1 on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Following
treatment with NGR1, immunocytochemistry was used to detect expression of Tuj1 and
MAP2, and RT-qPCR was used to measure mRNA levels of key factors in the Wnt signaling pathway.

Results:
Results showed that NGR1 promotes growth of cultured neurons and significantly upregulates
mRNA levels of β-catenin, Dishevelled, and Frizzled. To further confirm whether NGR1
promoted cortical neuron growth via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, we knocked down β-
catenin mRNA by siRNA interference; following NGR1 treatment of β-catenin-knockdown neurons,
β-catenin mRNA levels increased significantly.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, these results demonstrate that NGR1 promotes growth of cultured cortical
neurons from the neonatal rat, possibly via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
Patients’ Experiences of Web- and Mobile-Assisted Group Therapy for Depression and Implications of the Group Setting: Qualitative Follow-Up Study
Authors: Schuster Raphael , Sigl Sophia , Berger Thomas , Laireiter Anton-Rupert 
Published: July 2018

BackgroundBlended group therapy combines group sessions with Web- and mobile-based treatment modules. Consequently, blended group therapy widens the choice within blended interventions at reasonable costs. This is the first qualitative study on blended group therapy.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the patient-centered feasibility of blended group therapy for major depression, with special emphasis on the fit and dynamic interplay between face-to-face and internet-based elements.MethodsA total of 22 patients who had a variety of experiences through participating in one of the two blended group therapy interventions were interviewed following a semistructured interview guide. In-depth interviews were analyzed by three trained psychologists, using thematic analysis and a rule-guided internet-based program (QCAmap). The transcript of the interviews (113,555 words) was reduced to 1081 coded units, with subsequent extraction of 16 themes.ResultsWeb- and mobile-based elements were described as a treatment facilitator and motivator, increasing the salience and consolidation of cognitive behavioral therapy materials, resulting in in- and inter-session alignment to the treatment. Additionally, patients valued the option of intimate Web-based self-disclosure (by lateral patient-therapist communication), and therapists were provided with tools for between-session monitoring and reinforcement of exercising. In this context, group phenomena seemed to back up therapists’ efforts to increase treatment engagement. The dissonance because of noncompliance with Web-based tasks and the constriction of in-session group interaction were considered as possible negative effects. Finally, issues of tailoring and structure seemed to fulfill different preconditions compared with individual therapy.ConclusionsBlended group therapy constitutes a structured and proactive approach to work with depression, and the integration of both modalities initiates a beneficial interplay. Results support the patient-centered value of blended group therapy and provide the first insight into blended group therapy’s role in fostering therapeutic treatment factors. However, potential negative effects should be considered carefully.
Comparative advantages in Polish export to the European Union ? food products vs selected groups of non-food products
Authors: Szczepaniak Iwona 
Published: July 2018

Research background: Globalisation and economic integration are the reasons for which the competitiveness of economic entities is analysed more and more often in the context of their relations with the international market. One of the ways to assess the competitiveness of the Polish food sector is an analysis of comparative (relative) advantages in the export of this sector?s products.
Purpose of the article: The objective of this paper is to assess comparative advantages in Polish export of food products to the European Union against a background of selected groups of non-food products.
Methods: The study used the B. Balassa?s revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index. The study is preceded by a brief review of foreign trade results. The source of data was the WITS-Comtrade commercial database. The analysis was carried out at the level of the HS sections (in commodity terms). The research period covered the years 2003?2015.
Findings & Value added: In the years 2003?2015, export of food increased nearly six times and its import ? more than 4.5 times. The major partners of Poland as regards trade in food were the EU countries. The food sector was one of few sectors of the economy with the positive trade balance. Polish export to the EU was characterised by a diversified level of comparative advantages. From among 20 HS sections, in 2015 Poland had comparative advantages in export to the EU countries for products from 10 sections (2 food and 8 non-food). Those products accounted for 11% and 70% of Polish export to the EU, respectively. The development of Polish foreign trade in food products during the Polish membership in the EU as well as fairly high comparative advantages in the export of these products to the EU indicate the competitiveness and significant importance of the Polish food sector for the national economy.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
Three new nitrosalicylatocopper(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized. Compounds of the composition Cu(5-NSal)2(2-ampy)2 (1), Cu(5-NSal)2(2-hmpy)2 (2) and Cu(3,5-DNSal)2(2-hmpy)2 (3), where 2-ampy = (2-aminomethyl)pyridine, 2-hmpy = (2-hydroxymethyl)pyridine, 5-NSal = 5-nitrosalicylate anion and 3,5-DNSal = 3,5-dinitrosalicylate anion, were characterized by elemental analyses, EPR and IR spectroscopy. EPR spectra are consistent with the dx2-y2ground electronic state. Spectral properties have shown “classic” monodentate coordination of 5-nitrosalicylate anion. Similarly, bonding mode of the 3,5‑dinitrosalicylate anion in (3) is assumed to be unidentate via the carboxyl group, which is surprising compared with the previously studied complex, where the preferred coordination via the phenolate group anion was observed.

Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of hookah smoking has increased worldwide, particularly in young people, which may have potentially serious consequences for their health. The aim of this study was to examine the factors associated with the consumption of hookah by high school students. The present study was conducted in the city of Novi Pazar, and students aged 17-19 years attending the following high schools were included: Medical School, Grammar School, Economic-Commerce School and Catering School. The study was designed as a case-control study. The cases were students who consumed nargile, while the control group consisted of students who had never smoked nargile. A special questionnaire was constructed for the purpose of this research, which was used to evaluate the opinions of adolescents on the consumption of nargile. Our research included a total of 270 seniors in high schools in Novi Pazar. The average age of the students was 18 years. The most important factors that may contribute to start using nargile were: previous consumption of nargile by older family members, divorced parents, and active smoking of cigarettes by other family members. Most students emphasized that hookah smoking is socially unacceptable form of behavior. Also, hookah smoker were neither more attractive nor popular. Nargile consumption is more common by adolescents whose parents are divorced, as well as by adolescents whose family members are smoking nargile or tobacco. The most common reason for nargile consumption among adolescents is a desire for relaxation.
AMMI and GGE Biplot for genotype × environment interaction: a medoid–based hierarchical cluster analysis approach for high–dimensional data
Authors: Neisse Anderson Cristiano , Kirch Jhessica Letícia , Hongyu Kuang 
Published: July 2018

Summary
The presence of genotype-environment interaction (GEI) influences production making the selection of cultivars in a complex process. The two most used methods to analyze GEI and evaluate genotypes are AMMI and GGE Biplot, being used for the analysis of multi environment trials data (MET). Despite their different approaches, both models complement each other in order to strengthen decision making. However, both models are based on biplots, consequently, biplot-based interpretation doesn’t scale well beyond two-dimensional plots, which happens whenever the first two components don’t capture enough variation. This paper proposes an approach to such cases based on cluster analysis combined with the concept of medoids. It also applies AMMI and GGE Biplot to the adjusted data in order to compare both models. The data is provided by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and comes from the 14th Semi-Arid Wheat Yield Trial (SAWYT), an experiment concerning 50 genotypes of spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to low rainfall. It was performed in 36 environments across 14 countries. The analysis provided 25 genotypes clusters and 6 environments clusters. Both models were equivalent for the data’s evaluation, permitting increased reliability in the selection of superior cultivars and test environments.
