Published: May 2024

BackgroundIn young adults, there is evidence that free arm movements do not help to compensate muscle fatigue-induced deteriorations in dynamic balance performance. However, the postural control system in youth is immature, and as a result, the use of arm movements may provide a compensatory “upper body strategy” to correct fatigue-related balance impairments. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of free vs. restricted arm movement on dynamic balance performance prior and following exercise-induced muscle fatigue.MethodsForty-three healthy youth (19 females; mean age: 12.8 ± 1.9 years) performed the Y Balance Test–Lower Quarter before and immediately after a fatiguing exercise (i.e., repetitive vertical bipedal box jumps until failure) using two different arm positions: free (move the arms freely) and restricted (keep the arms akimbo) arm movement.ResultsMuscle fatigue (p ≤ 0.033; 0.10 ≤ ηp2 ≤ 0.33) and restriction of arm movement (p ≤ 0.005; 0.17 ≤ ηp2 ≤ 0.46) resulted in significantly deteriorated dynamic balance performance. However, the interactions between the two did not reach the level of significance (p ≥ 0.091; 0.01 ≤ ηp2 ≤ 0.07).ConclusionOur findings indicate that the use of an “upper body strategy” (i.e., free arm position) has no compensatory effect on muscle fatigue-induced dynamic balance deteriorations in healthy youth.

IntroductionBrewers' spent grain (BSG) is the most important by-product of breweries. Currently, the primary method of recycling BSG is through its use in livestock feed production, due to its high fiber content, non-degradable protein, and water-soluble vitamins. Nonetheless, composting, vermicomposting, and biochar production pathways offer promising alternatives for managing this organic byproduct.MethodsBSG-based substrates were evaluated as bio-fertilizers for use during the transplantation of Lactuca sativa L. and without additional fertilization at the end of the crop cycle. Biochar (B), vermicompost (V), compost (CP), and compost enriched with a microbial consortium (CPE), each mixed at 2 and 4% with peat, were compared with two control treatments: 100% peat (C1) and peat with ternary chemical fertilizer (C2). The experiment was designed with six replicates, half of which were inoculated with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum mycelium during transplantation to assess the contribution of different substrates to pathogen resistance.ResultsOverall, it was found that the control treatment C2 was the most effective, yielding the greatest plant height at the seedbed stage and the best results across all parameters at harvest. The V 4%, CP 4%, and CPE 4% treatments showed similar results without significant differences compared to the control. At the end of the seedbed phase, plants treated with CP 4% and CPE 4% exhibited the most substantial root development, with statistically significant differences from all other treatments. Moreover, the CPE 4% treatment demonstrated superior performance, resulting in statistically significant differences (p &lt; 0.05) in the chlorophyll content (α and β) and carotenoid parameters when compared to the control treatment C2. The interaction between the treatment and the pathogen was statistically significant only for the carotenoid content in the CPE 4% treatment and for the flavonoid content in most of the treatments.DiscussionThe most promising results were obtained at the nursery phase, highlighting the potential use of processed BSG-based substrates as bio-fertilizers. These products provided plants with both a growth substrate and nutrients, effectively contributing to waste recycling and aligning with the principles of a circular economy. Additional studies are required to investigate the potential use of brewer's spent grain as bio-fertilizers in other vegetable crop species.
Unveiling the Impact of Smokers’ Self-Construals on the Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation Campaigns: A Comparative Analysis of E-Cigarettes and Combustible Cigarettes

Published: May 2024

ObjectiveThis research conducted two studies in South Korea to explore the relationship between smokers’ self-construals and the types of cigarettes they use, emphasizing their combined effects on cessation campaign effectiveness.MethodsStudy 1 explored how smokers’ self-construals influenced their intentions to quit smoking or vaping, considering their primary cigarette usage. Study 2 further investigated this relationship within cessation campaigns, employing messages framed by both self-construal (independent vs. interdependent) and cigarette type (combustible vs. electronic).ResultsThe results of Study 1 showed that individuals with a strong interdependent self-construal were more likely to express intentions to quit smoking or vaping when using e-cigarettes compared to combustible cigarettes. Similarly, Study 2 demonstrated that cessation messages for e-cigarettes were more effective in eliciting intentions to quit when presented with an interdependent self-construal frame, while messages for combustible cigarettes showed greater effectiveness with an independent self-construal frame.ConclusionCampaigns solely focused on independent self-construals might not effectively persuade e-cigarette users to quit, as they may prioritize communal wellbeing over individual benefits. Adapting anti-e-cigarette campaigns to align with the values of interdependent self-construals could yield better outcomes in promoting cessation among e-cigarette users.

Tomato bacterial spots, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv1) and X. euvesicatoria (Xe2), as well as bacterial specks, caused by two strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst1 and Pst2), represent significant threats to tomato production in the El-Sharkia governorate, often resulting in substantial yield losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of various biocontrol culture filtrates, including bacteria and fungi agents, in managing the occurrence and severity of these diseases, while also monitoring physiological changes in tomato leaves, including antioxidant enzymes, phenolics, and pigment content. The culture filtrates from examined Trichoderma species (T. viride, T. harzianum, and T. album), as well as the tested bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Serratia marcescens) at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 100%, significantly inhibited the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria In vitro. For the In vivo experiments, we used specific doses of 5 mL of spore suspension per plant for the fungal bioagents at a concentration of 2.5 × 107 spores/mL. The bacterial bioagents were applied as a 10 mL suspension per plant at a concentration of 1 × 108 CFU/mL. Spraying the culture filtrates of the tested bioagents two days before infection In vivo significantly reduced disease incidence and severity. Trichoderma viride exhibited the highest efficacy among the fungal bioagents, followed by T. harzianum and T. album. Meanwhile, the culture filtrate of B. subtilis emerged as the most potent among the bacterial bioagents, followed by P. fluorescens. Furthermore, applying these culture filtrates resulted in elevated levels of chitinase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase activity. This effect extended to increased phenol contents, as well as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids in sprayed tomato plants compared to the control treatment. Overall, these findings underscore the potential of these biocontrol strategies to effectively mitigate disease incidence and severity while enhancing plant defense mechanisms and physiological parameters, thus offering promising avenues for sustainable disease management in tomato production.

Abstract
High aspect ratio SiO2/SiN (ON) stacked layer etching using hydrofluorocarbon gases was conducted with various ratios of H, F, and C to achieve higher etching rates and precise profile control. The experimental gases were C3HF5, C4HF5, C4H2F4, C4H2F6, C4H4F6 and C5H2F10. The oxygen gas flow rate and mixing ratio were optimized to maximize mask selectivity while avoiding clogging at the top of the mask. For comparison, C4F6/CH2F2/Ar/O2, and C4F6/C4F8/CH2F2/Ar/O2 were used as reference gas mixtures. The initial screening narrowed the candidate pool to 3 gases: C3HF5, C4H2F6, and C4H4F6. At equivalent power, the C3HF5 condition achieved a 15% faster ON etch rate, and C4H2F6 achieved a 9% faster ON etch rate compared to the reference condition. Only C4H4F6 showed a worse ON etch rate than the reference (∼33%) due to severe mask clogging. Furthermore, C3HF5 achieved a 29% faster ON etch rate under high power conditions. It also achieved a 57% faster ON etch rate without excessively compromising selectivity or bow CD expansion after optimization. We report detailed comparisons of etch rate and clogging while controlling the CD profile in the ON stack process.

В связи с тем, что в современной клинической стоматологии все шире применяются адгезивные технологии, особую актуальность приобретают вопросы адекватной подготовки адгезионных поверхностей твердых тканей зуба. Известно, что препарирование ротационным инструментом оказывает повреждающий эффект с нарушением микроструктуры эмали и дентина. При этом важнейшими факторами являются режим охлаждения операционного поля и тип привода ротационного инструмента. С помощью сканирующей электронной микроскопии была изучена микроструктура адгезионной поверхности эмали при ее обработке с различными режимами подачи водно-воздушного спрея и различными типами привода бора. С этой целью был использован сканирующий электронный микроскоп CamScan S4. Сканирование эмали проводилось перпендикулярно ходу пучков эмалевых призм при одинаковом увеличении для всех образцов. Материалом для исследования являлись удаленные зубы. Результаты электронной микроскопии наглядно свидетельствовали, что оптимизация таких параметров как режим подачи водно-воздушного спрея, тип привода ротационного инструмента позволяют решить следующие проблемы при препарировании твердых тканей зуба – перегрев тканей зуба; огрубение рельефа поверхности после препарирования; появление сколов и трещин эмали; изменение качества адгезионной поверхности
Due to the fact that adhesive technologies are increasingly used in modern clinical dentistry, the issues of adequate preparation of adhesive surfaces of hard tooth tissues are becoming particularly relevant. It is known that preparation with a rotary instrument has a damaging effect with a violation of the microstructure of enamel and dentin. In this case, the most important factors are the cooling mode of the operating field and the type of rotary tool drive. Using scanning electron microscopy, the microstructure of the adhesive surface of the enamel was studied during its processing with various modes of water-air spray supply and various types of boron drive. For this purpose, the CamScan S4 scanning electron microscope was used. The enamel was scanned perpendicular to the course of the enamel prism beams at the same magnification for all samples. The material for the study was extracted teeth. The results of electron microscopy clearly demonstrate that optimizing parameters such as mode of delivery of water and air spray, rotary tool drive can solve the following problems at preparing dental hard tissues – overheating of the tooth structure; rough surface after preparation; chipped and cracked enamel; as an adhesive surface

Resumen

Introducción: La laparoscopia en la cirugía de la hernia ventral es una alternativa válida que disminuye significativamente la estancia hospitalaria. Sin embargo, su papel la cirugía mayor ambulatoria (CMA) es aún un tema de constante discusión.

A pesar de los avances técnicos y la presencia de cirujanos experimentados en este campo, la literatura es aún escasa y poco homogénea en cuanto a criterios de selección de pacientes subsidiarios de esta modalidad quirúrgica.

Implementacion de la laparoscopia en eventroplastia: Para su correcta implementación hay que tener en cuenta factores relacionados con el propio paciente (aspectos fisiológicos como la clasificación ASA, la edad o el IMC, aspectos psicológicos y aspectos sociales como buen apoyo familiar para optar a la CMA), como de la eventración (localización y tamaño de la eventración) y la intervención realizada (selección de la técnica, del material protésico y del método de fijación del mismo, protocolo de analgesia y prevención de vómitos y náuseas postoperatorias).

Conclusiones: La evidencia hasta hoy demuestra que la cirugía laparoscópica para la reparación de hernia ventral en régimen ambulatorio es una técnica segura, fiable y bien tolerada por pacientes seleccionados. El manejo del dolor postoperatorio es el principal factor limitante en estos casos.

Public health is a vital resource for the growth and life of a nation. One effort to improve health degrees is to improve environmental health. Environmental health is an important factor in social life, even being a determinant of the welfare of the population. Health is one of the essential human resources needed to sustain economic development. This is because health is a prerequisite to increasing productivity, so health and economics have a powerful influence on one another. Health affects the economy, with high public health levels, the productivity of human labor is also high. When comparing the welfare rates of various community groups, it is important to look at life expectancy and annual income levels. In countries with better health rates, the average live longer, which means they have a financial opportunity to earn more. According to kotabumi's rate of life expectancy and public health, it is concluded that the region's health status still requires special attention.

Authors: Rocha Argote Fernando 
Published: May 2024

El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el efecto de las esferas de poliestireno expandido a distintas fracciones de volumen sobre las características físicas del cemento Portland utilizando una distribución cubica simple. Las variables estudiadas fueron: consistencia normal y tiempo de fraguado. Estas características son medidas con la técnica de la aguja de Vicat mediante el uso de las normas vigentes de los materiales de construcción Norma Boliviana NB-11, ACI y ASTM. El empleo de aditivos en cementos mejora la trabajabilidad y la porosidad, permitiendo fabricar morteros y hormigones con alto rendimiento y con propiedades mecánicas adecuadas para su empleo como morteros de albañilería, revoque, enlucido y grandes estructuras. En la actualidad existen un sinnúmero de aditivos que mejoran las características del cemento y por ende las características del concreto y morteros, ya sea mejorando la resistencia, la durabilidad y la trabajabilidad, sin embargo, los usos de estos aditivos en cementos suelen provocar elevados costos de producción y operación por lo que incorporar materiales residuales como poliestireno y aplicar un modelo físico conforme a la problemática es de gran utilidad.

Resum
La crisi pandèmica de la COVID-19 que hem viscut i que encara estem vivint ha portat un canvi radical en la forma que comprenem la relació interna i externa de l’espai. Durant el període més dur del confinament es va afegir a aquesta limitació l’absència total de mobilitat espacial, quin impacte va tenir sobre el procés creatiu? Com afecta aquest tornada a l’espai domèstic a la dona que crea? Com seguir el moviment d’un cos que no s’atura a través del llenguatge? Utilitzant el concepte de ‘subjecte nòmada’ revisat recentment per Rosi Braidotti, aquest article reflexiona sobre la intersecció entre cos i llenguatge a través de la creació d’espirals qüestionant el punt fins el qual aquest moviment continu en forma circular desestabilitza concepcions preexistents entre les experiències particulars del subjecte femení i la limitació –o buit– de l’espai oferint formes alternatives de creació i re-significació de la subjectivitat femenina.
La (nova) crisi del folklore: adaptabilitat i usos contemporanis

Resum
Entès el folklore com una forma particular de comunicació que utilitza recursos artístics i que té lloc entre un grup determinat de persones, s’evidencia la seva relació amb la societat i amb la realitat més propera. Aquesta relació ens ofereix una radiografia d’aquesta societat i dels canvis que s’hi produeixen. I les èpoques de crisi i les situacions d’emergència es caracteritzen, precisament, pels canvis. Així, l’ús del folklore en moments de crisi (com les pandèmies) és una mostra de la seva vigència i contemporaneïtat alhora que de la seva adaptabilitat, amb gèneres que s’adequen als nous temes que preocupen a la societat, però que també evolucionen, donant més importància a la imatge, en una cultura cada cop més visual. En aquest article es reflexiona sobre aquest ús del folklore amb exemples que evidencien la seva actualitat
Reframing the "International" in UK International Scholarship: Perspectives on Diversity and Equity beyond English as Lingua Franca and Multilingualism
Authors: Kiesewetter Rebekka 
Published: May 2024

This article critically examines dominant models of internationalization in UK higher education, focusing on how initiatives such as the UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund and the UK Government’s Turing Scheme, along with evaluation frameworks such as the Research Excellence Framework (REF), emphasize uniformity, competitiveness, and broad scope. This approach can lead to a homogenization of academic collaboration, often overlooking the diverse operational, sociocultural, linguistic, and epistemic contexts of scholars involved in the United Kingdom’s increasingly internationalized scholarly environment. Drawing on an expanded notion of diaspora influenced by intersectional feminist theory, this article proposes a reconceptualization of what internationalization means in the United Kingdom. Through the case study of two experimental online reading events, The Re-Reading Room at Coventry University, it demonstrates how diasporic academic communities can actively co-create more inclusive and equitable collaborative environments in praxis, challenging the prevailing norms of competition, alignment, and uniformity underlaying the way international scholarship is framed in the United Kingdom.
