Abstract
Donnelly, S, Collins, K, Burns, C, O’Neill, C, and Mangan, S. A comparison of elite and sub-elite match-play running performance of Gaelic football players. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): 912–923, 2024—This research aimed to examine differences in match-play running performance between elite and sub-elite Gaelic football players. Global Positioning System devices were used to record the match-play running performance of sub-elite and elite players during the 2018 and 2019 seasons, respectively. In total, 783 samples were collected from 31 sub-elite and 30 elite players, from 1 elite and 1 sub-elite team. Comparisons were made on a team and positional level. Statistical significance was accepted at p ≤ 0.05. Significant positional differences were present between all positions with varying effect sizes (ESs) and p-values. Effect size was used to determine the magnitude of statistical difference. On a team level, the elite covered significantly more relative distance (p = 0.021, ES = 0.007) and elicited significantly higher average speed (p = 0.023, ES = 0.007) in quarters 2, 3, and 4 than the sub-elite. The elite covered significantly more relative distance high-intensity running (17–21.9 km·h−1; p = 0.002, ES = 0.012) in quarter 3 and performed significantly more power events per minute (p = 0.006, ES = 0.009) in quarter 4. In quarter 1, the sub-elite performed significantly more power events per minute (p = 0.006, ES = 0.009), relative high-speed running (≥17 km·h−1; p = 0.011, ES = 0.009), and relative distance high-intensity running (17–21.9 km·h−1; p = 0.002, ES = 0.012). Power events were defined as the estimation of the number of events that depend on anaerobic processes. The present study indicates that elite players possess superior conditioning, ability to read match-play, pacing, and anaerobic capacity. Sub-elite teams may use the present study to inform their training to potentially improve conditioning, pacing, and anaerobic capacity.

Abstract
Corrêa Neto, VG, Silva, DdN, Palma, A, de Oliveira, F, Vingren, JL, Marchetti, PH, da Silva Novaes, J, and Monteiro, ER. Comparison between traditional and alternated resistance exercises on blood pressure, acute neuromuscular responses, and rating of perceived exertion in recreationally resistance-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): e211–e218, 2024—The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of traditional and alternated resistance exercises on acute neuromuscular responses (maximum repetition performance, fatigue index, and volume load), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and blood pressure (BP) in resistance-trained men. Fifteen recreationally resistance-trained men (age: 26.40 ± 4.15 years; height: 173 ± 5 cm, and total body mass: 78.12 ± 13.06 kg) were recruited and performed all 3 experimental conditions in a randomized order: (a) control (CON), (b) traditional (TRT), and (c) alternated (ART). Both conditions (TRT and ART) consisted of 5 sets of bilateral bench press, articulated bench press, back squat, and Smith back squat exercises at 80% 1RM until concentric muscular failure. The total number of repetitions performed across sets in the bench press followed a similar pattern for TRT and ART, with significant reductions between sets 3, 4, and 5 compared with set 1 (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference for set 4 between conditions with a lower number of repetitions performed in the TRT. The volume load was significantly higher for ART when compared with TRT. TRT showed significant reductions in BP after 10-, 40-, and 60-minute postexercise and when compared with CON after 40- and 60-minute postexercise. However, the effect size illustrated large reductions in systolic BP during recovery in both methods. Thus, it is concluded that both methods reduced postexercise BP.

Abstract
McCarthy, SF, McKie, GL, Howe, GJ, Vanderheyden, LW, and Hazell, TJ. Metabolic effects of reduced volume sprint interval training during and postexercise. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): 891–897, 2024—It is unclear what dose of sprint-interval training exercise (exercise volume) is required to derive beneficial metabolic effects during and postexercise. Therefore, we examined how reducing the volume of sprint interval training (SIT) from 2 minutes of “all-out” efforts (8 bouts) to 1.5 minutes (6 bouts) and 1 minute (4 bouts) affected during and postexercise metabolism. Fourteen recreationally active males (age: 25 ± 3 years; body mass index: 25.1 ± 3.1 kg·m−2) had gas exchange measured during and following (3 h) 4 experimental sessions: (a) no-exercise control (CTRL), (b) 8 × 15 SIT (2 minutes exercise), (c) 6 × 15 minutes SIT (1.5 minutes exercise), and (d) 4 × 15 SIT (1 minute exercise). All SIT protocols were 15 seconds “all-out” running efforts with 2 minutes recovery (4, 6, or 8 bouts). Changes were considered important if p < 0.100 and the effect size was ≥medium. During exercise, oxygen consumption (V̇o
2; L) was different between protocols (p < 0.001, d > 2.98) and greater than CTRL (p < 0.001, d > 2.12); however, the rate of O2 consumption (L·min−1) was similar between protocols (p = 0.479,

= 0.055). Total V̇o
2 (L) postexercise was elevated following all conditions compared with CTRL (p < 0.003, d > 1.25). Overall session V̇o
2 was different in each condition (p < 0.001, d > 1.89). Fat oxidation was elevated postexercise following all SIT protocols compared with CTRL (p < 0.017, d > 0.98) with no differences between protocols (p > 0.566, d < 0.48). Our results suggest reducing the number of all-out 15 seconds bouts during a SIT session from 8 to 6 or 4 had no differential effects on postexercise metabolism and differences during exercise were due to the longer duration of exercise.

Abstract
Sax van der Weyden, M, Merrigan, JJ, Newman, K, Hahn, J, and Martin, J. Army Combat Fitness Test scores moderate cognitive function improvements after a ruck march: A hierarchical linear model approach. J Strength Cond Res 38(7): 1314–1320, 2024—Heavy load carriage is a common task for military personnel and can lead to undue physical and mental fatigue. The purpose of this study was to assess effects of load carriage on cognitive function (CF) and the role individual characteristics play in CF responses. Anthropometrics/body composition, demographics, and Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) scores were gathered from 47 Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets. Cadets' CF was assessed through the concentration task grid (CTG) before (preruck), immediately after (postruck), and 3 weeks after (follow-up) a 16.09- to 19.31-km ruck march. Hierarchical linear modeling was used, with α < 0.05. The final model revealed growth, or improvement, in CF from preruck to postruck with growth decelerating, but still improved, at follow-up. The load carriage bout improved CF in most cadets, with average growth from 5.67- to 7.20-grid squares found. However, postruck CF did not return to the same level as a controlled follow-up (9.69). Sex (2.46, female), familiarity with the CTG (1.99), ACFT total scores (0.009), and relative ruck mass (−0.09) were all significant predictors of postruck CF. Army Combat Fitness Test scores (0.008) were also significant predictors of the slope between preruck and postruck, such that an ACFT score 59 points above average would result in a 1-grid square greater improvement in CF postruck. The significance of ACFT scores, lower relative ruck mass, and familiarization highlights the importance physical and mental preparation for desirable CF outcomes after occupational tasks.

Published: April 2024

Objective
The aim was to evaluate whether exercise induces different nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) responses in males and females.

Methods
Twenty-two males and females (n = 11 per group; mean (s.d.): age: 25 (6) years, height: 1.71 (0.10) m, weight: 69.6 (12.3) kg) performed 100 drop jumps and 50 squat jumps. NRF2/antioxidant response element (ARE) binding in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity, and immune markers influenced by NRF2 (interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), total leukocytes, neutrophils, monocytes) were measured pre-exercise, post exercise, and 1 h post exercise.

Results
NRF2/ARE binding did not significantly alter following exercise (P = 0.59), and no sex differences were evident (P = 0.17). Similarly, GPX activity did not change post exercise (P = 0.74) and did not differ between sexes (P = 0.61). IL-6 and TNF-α did not increase post exercise (P > 0.05 for both) but were lower in females (P < 0.01 for both). MMP-9 increased post exercise (P = 0.02), but no group differences were found (P = 0.27). VCAM-1 was unchanged after exercise (P = 0.38) and did not differ between groups (P = 0.11). Total leukocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes all increased post exercise (P < 0.01 for all); neutrophils were lower (P < 0.01), and monocytes were higher (P = 0.03) in females vs males.

Conclusion
There were no sex differences in NRF2 activity at rest and in response to an exercise bout; however, several immune markers displayed sex-specific differences, independent to NRF2.

Authors: Гусар А.С. 
Published: April 2024

В работе представлены результаты изучения сезонного развития, семенной продуктивности и состояния зародышей в зрелых семенах Delphinium grandiflorum L. Исследования проводились на протяжении двух лет (2021–2022 гг.). Растения успешно проходят все фенофазы, один генеративный побег образует 299–700 шт. семян. Впервые выявлены достоверные отличия по числу цветков и плодов на главной оси синфлоресценции и паракладиях различных порядков, а также по числу семязачатков в цветках и семян в плодах, расположенных в разных частях синфлоресценции. Показано влияние гидротермических условий вегетационных периодов на семенную продуктивность и качество семян. Наиболее благоприятными для роста и развития D. grandiflorumбыли метеоусловия 2022 года, что выражалось в раннем наступлении фенофаз, высокой семенной продуктивности и высокой степени сформированности зародышей в зрелых семенах. Это обусловлено тем, что во время бутонизации и цветения D. grandiflorum отсутствовали значительные колебания температуры воздуха и влажности. Растения D. grandiflorum перспективны для выращивания в Западной Сибири по следующим репродуктивным показателям: сезонному развитию, семенной продуктивности и развитию зародышей в семенах.
The article reports the results of the following studies: seasonal development, seed production and embryo conditions in the mature seeds of Delphinium grandiflorum L. The research was done over two years (2021–2022). The species successfully goes through all phenophases, one generative shoot forms 299–700 pcs. seeds. For the first time, significant differences were revealed in the number of flowers and fruits on the main axis of synflorescence and paracladia of various orders, as well as in the number of ovules in flowers and seeds in fruits located on different parts of synflorescence. The article presents the influence of vegetation period hydrothermal conditions on seed productivity and quality of seeds. The weather conditions of 2022 year were the most favorable for the growth and development of D. grandiflorum, which was expressed in the early beginnings of phenophases, high seed productivity, and the more developed embryos in mature seeds. This may be due to the fact that during the budding and flowering of D. grandiflorumthere were absence of significant fluctuations in air temperature and humidity. D. grandiflorum plants are promising for cultivation in Western Siberia according to the following reproductive indicators: seasonal development, seed productivity and development of embryos in seeds.

Published: April 2024

Three molecular assays were used to detect and quantify white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in DNA extracted from seston size-fractioned (0.02, 0.2, 1.2, and 20 μm) samples collected from a coastal lagoon and an adjacent shrimp farm. From 107 DNA extracts, only two from one sample tested positive for WSSV with nested PCR in the 1.2 and 20 μm fractions. These results were confirmed by a semi-quantitative (IQ2000TM WSSV Detection and Prevention System) and a quantitative (IQREALTM WSSV Quantitative System) detection system based, based, respectively, on nested PCR and real-time PCR. A first viral load reference value (6.54 × 104 WSSV copies/mL) was established in a seston size fraction (1.2−20 μm). The results suggest that WSSV could be associated with both resuspension of fine clays and silts, and nanoplankton and organic colloids during infectious events.

AbstractBackground and AimsThe precise roles of screen media activity (SMA) and sleep problems in relation to child/adolescent psychopathology remain ambiguous. We investigated temporal relationships among sleep problems, SMA, and psychopathology and potential involvement of thalamus-prefrontal-cortex (PFC)-brainstem structural covariation.MethodsThis study utilized data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study (n = 4,641 ages 9–12) at baseline, Year1, and Year2 follow-up. Cross-Lagged Panel Models (CLPMs) investigated reciprocal predictive relationships between sleep duration/problems, SMA, and psychopathology symptoms. A potential mediating role of baseline Thalamus-PFC-brainstem covariation on SMA-externalizing relationships was examined.ResultsParticipants were divided into discovery (n = 2,359, 1,054 girls) and replication (n = 2,282, 997 girls) sets. CLPMs showed 1) bidirectional associations between sleep duration and SMA in late childhood, with higher frequency SMA predicting shorter sleep duration (β = −0.10 [95%CI: −0.16, −0.03], p = 0.004) and vice versa (β = −0.11 [95%CI: −0.18, −0.05], p < 0.001); 2) externalizing symptoms at age 10–11 predicting sleep problems (β = 0.11 [95%CI: 0.04, 0.19], p = 0.002), SMA (β = 0.07 [95%CI: 0.01, 0.13], p = 0.014), and internalizing symptoms (β = 0.09 [95%CI: 0.05, 0.13], p < 0.001) at age 11–12; and 3) externalizing behavior at age 10-11 partially mediating the relationship between baseline thalamus-PFC-brainstem covariation and SMA at age 11–12 (indirect effect = 0.032 [95%CI: 0.003, 0.067], p-value = 0.030). Findings were replicable.ConclusionWe found bi-directional SMA-sleep-duration associations in late childhood. Externalizing symptoms preceded future SMA and sleep disturbances and partially mediated relationships between structural brain covariation and SMA. The findings emphasize the need for understanding individual differences and developing and implementing integrated strategies addressing both sleep concerns and screen time to mitigate potential impacts on psychopathology.
3D Multiresolution Velocity Model Fusion with Probability Graphical Models
Authors: Zhou Zheng , Gerstoft Peter , Olsen Kim Bak 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
The variability in spatial resolution of seismic velocity models obtained via tomographic methodologies is attributed to many factors, including inversion strategies, ray-path coverage, and data integrity. Integration of such models, with distinct resolutions, is crucial during the refinement of community models, thereby enhancing the precision of ground-motion simulations. Toward this goal, we introduce the probability graphical model (PGM), combining velocity models with heterogeneous resolutions and nonuniform data point distributions. The PGM integrates data relations across varying resolution subdomains, enhancing detail within low-resolution (LR) domains by utilizing information and prior knowledge from high-resolution (HR) subdomains through a maximum posterior problem. Assessment of efficacy, utilizing both 2D and 3D velocity models—consisting of synthetic checkerboard models and a fault-zone model from Ridgecrest, California—demonstrates noteworthy improvements in accuracy, compared to state-of-the-art fusion techniques. Specifically, we find reductions of 30% and 44% in computed travel-time residuals for 2D and 3D models, respectively, as compared to conventional smoothing techniques. Unlike conventional methods, the PGM’s adaptive weight selection facilitates preserving and learning details from complex, nonuniform HR models and applies the enhancements to the LR background domain.
Growth and cadmium and nickel uptake of maize (Zea mays L.) in a cadmium and nickel co‑contaminated soil and phytoremediation efficiency using ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid
Authors: Tubotu Funkeye K. , Akporhonor Eyitemi E. , Agbaire Patience O. 
Published: April 2024

Background: Anthropogenic activities release cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and other heavy metals into soil. Zea mays can clean up contaminated soils, but little is known about how Cd and Ni co-contamination stress affects ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-based phytoextraction and phytoremediation, hence this study was conducted.
Methods: The experiment involved nine treatment levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg kg-1 Cd and 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 mg kg-1 Ni), grouped into three categories: CT as the control group, P as Cd + Ni only, and CAP as Cd + Ni + EDTA (n=3). The treatments used (CH3COO)2Cd•2H2O and NiSO4 as the source of Cd and Ni, respectively, and EDTA was applied at two rates (0 and 0.5 g/kg). After the experimental period, measurements were taken for shoot length, biomass, and metal concentrations in both the roots and shoots using established procedures.
Results: The concentrations of metals in plants' roots and shoots increased as the concentrations in soil increased, but shoot length, biomass, bioconcentration factor (BCF), and translocation factor (TF) values decreased with increasing soil metal content. The application of EDTA increased metal uptake but led to greater root and shoot biomass loss. Generally, TF values for Cd and Ni were less than 1 but most of the BCF values were greater than 1.
Conclusions: The study found that phytostabilization is the main mechanism for phytoremediation of Cd-Ni-co-contaminated soils with Zea mays, with EDTA addition enhancing metal accumulation and reducing biomass yield.
Lizzy’s Royal Ice Cream
Authors: Brown Ellen 
Published: April 2024

The royal warrant was created in the fifteenth century to allow tradespeople and mercenaries the right to deem themselves worthy of royalty in comparison to other products. This tradition has continued, and there are now eight hundred different companies ranging from the food industry to the fashion industry that hold this right. As I moved to the United Kingdom to study graphic design in the fall of 2022, I found this concept extremely interesting. I was able to witness how these “crown-worthy” products are promoted in comparison to others and see the real impact a connection to the monarchy had on certain businesses. Therefore, I made it a personal mission to try as many “warranted” products as possible. I tried on different clothing items in stores such as Barbour, drank apple juices endorsed by the King, and even purchased a journal from Smythson on Bond Street. However, searching through the Royal Warrant Association’s website for my favorite categories, I found that zero of these “warranted” companies are ice cream companies. In a world filled with thousands of different ice cream brands and flavors, why are none of the pre-existing brands worthy of the crown? This ice cream revolution explores why no other brand has received the royal warrant and how a successful brand positioning can create an opportunity to compete for ice cream market leadership in the United Kingdom.
