AbstractAdvancing age and estrogen deficiency increases susceptibility of post‐menopausal women (PMW) to abdominal obesity and manifestation of cardiometabolic disease. There is limited evidence on the effect of lifestyle interventions on adiposity markers within at‐risk PMW. Therefore, this study aims to evaluates an 8‐weeks of home‐based, equipment‐free, interval training (HEFIT) with or without Mediterranean‐style diet (MD) on adiposity markers in physically inactive, postmenopausal women with overweight/obesity. Thirty PMW (56.7 ± 3.9 years, BMI: 30.5 ± 5.2 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to three groups: (i) Ex; HEFIT thrice weekly/week, (ii) EX + MD, or (iii) CTL; control. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference (WC; HC), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), total body fat percentage, leptin, and adiponectin were determined pre‐ and post‐8‐week intervention. There was no significant between group effect on VAI. Compared to CTL, a significant between group reduction was seen in weight, BMI, and WC in both EX and EX+D (p < 0.05). Leptin and adiponectin remained unchanged in all groups (p > 0.05). Adherence rates were 85% and 96% for EX and EX+MD, respectively, and 80% of EX+D of participants had optimal adherence to diet. Concluding HEFIT with or without dietary changes could improve adiposity in overweight/obese postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres are used in various fields of application including clinical dentistry and surgery. Creating new technological schemes and modernizing already known technologies of poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres production have developed rapidly during the last 50 years. In this work, the influence of suspending agents (type, concentration etc.) on the average size of microspheres is shown. Poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) and its sodium salt are proposed as very effective suspending agents, allowing to produce microspheres of required size under various conditions. The effect of initiator concentration and stirring speed on average size of particles is also investigated. A technological scheme is proposed in accordance to experimental data.
Effect of compatibilizer type on the properties of thermoplastic elastomers based on recycled polyethylene at high ground tire rubber content
Authors: Vázquez-Fletes Roberto C. , Wang Youhong , González-Núñez Rubén , Rodrigue Denis 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this study, compatibilized thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) based on recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and high ground tire rubber (GTR) content (70, 80 and 90 wt%) were prepared by twin-screw extrusion followed by injection molding. The main objective of the work was to use three different compatibilizers and to compare their efficiency: ethylene-octene copolymer (Engage 8180), styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene grafted with maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) (Kraton FG1901X) and a trans-polyoctenamer (Vestenamer 8012). A morphological analysis showed that the addition of a compatibilizer produced more homogeneous structures, significantly improving mechanical performance compared with their uncompatibilized counterparts. This modification had a direct effect on all the properties, especially the tensile properties which were evaluated at different crosshead speeds (10, 50, 100 and 500 mm/min) to better see differences in the interfacial state. High elongations at break exceeding 100 % for highly filled recycled blends (up to 90 wt% of GTR) with Kraton FG1901X were obtained, highlighting superior compatibility efficiency. In general, adding GTR to recycled PE produced a more elastic TPE. Increasing the GTR concentration led to lower modulus (from 300 MPa for R-PE to 50 MPa for 70 % GTR). The main conclusion of the work was that injection molding of TPE with high GTR content (above 70 %) was only possible by adding compatibilizers. Nevertheless, the best performance to produce high GTR content TPE was obtained using Kraton FG1901X probably due to its grafted functionality (maleic anhydride, MA) leading to better interfacial interactions between the phases.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
To examine the temporal dynamics of kinesthetic responses and accompanying physiological changes during imagery training.

Methods
Three athletes- a cricket batsman, a rowing-single scull rower and a football midfielder- participated in individualised motivational-specific and cognitive-specific imagery intervention that matched the requirements of their particular sports. The researchers recorded the timing of the kinesthetic responses and the accompanying heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR).

Results
During motivation-specific imagery (MS), kinaesthetic responses occurred between 4:00 to 6:59 min in the cricketer, (HR range=72–82 beats/min; RR range=13–14 breaths/min) and between 1:00 to 1:59 min in the rower, (HR range=92–104 beats/min; RR range=11–15 breaths/min) and between 0:01 to 1:59 min in the footballer (HR range=68–74 beats/min; RR range=12–16 breaths/min). During cognitive-specific imagery (CS), kinesthetic responses occurred between 2:00 to 5:59 min in the cricketer, (HR range=78–86 beats/min; RR range= 09–16 breaths/min); between 1:00 to 1:59 min in the rower, (HR range=79–80 beats/min; RR range=13–14 breaths/min) and between 1:00 to 1:59 minutes in the footballer (HR range=78–82 beats/min; RR = 17 breaths/min).

Conclusion
The kinesthetic responses observed during imagery training suggest how the neural networks are activated similar to the actual performance. The temporal dynamics and physiological responses differed depending on the task of their sports. The findings suggest incorporating imagery training in coaching can strengthen neural connections and facilitate effective task executions.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Global cancer cases are increasing, but fortunately, cancer is becoming more treatable. By 2050, the number of cancer cases is projected to reach 35 million. These numbers are certainly correlated with the aging population, early diagnoses due to screenings, and the broad current treatment options. However, life-saving therapies are often gonadotoxic, significantly impacting the lives of cancer patients. Fertility preservation following life-saving oncological treatments is one of the challenges faced by patients with cancer.

Material and method
We analyzed 73 articles to investigate the current state of fertility preservation in oncology, also evaluating the medico-legal implications.

Results
The data indicate a growing trend of cancer recoveries and survivorship with opportunities to access fertility preservation through various methods, which are not entirely known or consistently offered to patients in the appropriate manner.

Conclusions
The ethical and medico-legal aspects are numerous and seem to be still evolving.
Health literacy and health-related quality of life: The mediating role of irrational happiness
Authors: Huseynov Amil , Satici Begum 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background: Health literacy (HL) and irrational beliefs about happiness significantly influence adults’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to examine whether irrational happiness mediates the relationship between HL and HRQoL among adults.

Methods: A total of 686 adults (468 women and 218 men; mean age = 22.30  ±  6.83 years) completed self-report questionnaires, including the Health Literacy Scale-Short Form, the EUROHIS-QOL 8, and the Irrational Happiness Beliefs Scale. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping methods.

Results: HL had both direct (β = 0.260, p < 0.01) and indirect effects on HRQoL. HL directly predicted irrational happiness (β = –0.369, p < 0.01), which in turn directly predicted HRQoL (β = –0.318, p < 0.01). Specifically, irrational happiness significantly mediated the relationship between HL and HRQoL (bootstrap coefficient = 0.117, 95% CI = 0.071–0.175).

Conclusion: These findings suggest that interventions aiming to enhance adults’ HRQoL should consider not only improving HL but also addressing irrational beliefs about happiness.
Investigation of the corrosion performance of HVOF-sprayed WC-CoCr coatings applied on offshore hydraulic equipment

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study investigates the corrosion and erosion-corrosion performance of HVOF-sprayed WC-10Co-4Cr coatings for offshore hydraulic applications. By tuning kerosene (18.1–25.3 l·h−1) and oxygen (820–990 l·min−1) flow rates, coatings with optimal hardness (1200 HV0.3), porosity (0.35%), carbide retention (90%), and polarization resistance (15.2 kΩ·cm−2) are attained. In-flight diagnostics reveal that particle temperatures and velocities peak at 1,842°C and 799 m·s−1, respectively, at stoichiometric combustion. Higher temperatures degrade electrochemical stability due to enriched binders when 30% of carbides decompose. The localized attack is mitigated as splatting from high-velocity particles eliminates 25% more porosity. With exposure to sulfate-reducing bacteria for 15 days, polarization resistance reduces to 12.4 kΩ·cm−2 owing to biofilm formation, indicating self-healing effects from protective corrosion films. The optimized WC-CoCr coatings reduce corrosion rates under combined erosion and bacterial conditions by 86% compared to untreated steel substrates. This research provides a framework to customize HVOF coatings for demanding offshore conditions.

The future of viral infections
Authors: Eley Brian S 
Published: February 2025

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic there is increasing scientific interest in animal viruses and their future cross-species transmission potential. Although viruses are the most diverse and abundant of living organisms, we know less about their diversity, evolution, and cross-species transmission potential than other living organisms. Few animal species, mainly those located in the phylum Chordata have been surveyed for viruses, while surveillance among invertebrate species has mainly focussed on common disease vectors such as ticks and mosquitoes, both located in the phylum arthropoda, one of 21 invertebrate phyla. The recent advent of metagenomic next-generation sequencing has however begun to advance the study of the animal virome, revealing novel biodiversity insights. For example, while bats and rodents have been shown to harbour a wide range of coronaviruses, recent molecular explorations have documented coronaviruses in other vertebrates such as amphibians and fish.

Authors: Claudel Sophie E. , Schmidt Insa M. , Waikar Sushrut S. , Verma Ashish 
Published: February 2025

Background:
It is imperative to critically evaluate the prognostic implications of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome staging to inform clinical practice. The primary aims of this paper were to define the risk of mortality associated with each CKM syndrome stage and to determine the corresponding restricted mean survival time over a 15-year period.

Methods:
This is a longitudinal study of 50,678 community-dwelling U.S. adults aged 20 and older with baseline data for CKM stage determination participating in the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. CKM stages defined according to the American Heart Association presidential advisory. 15-year adjusted cumulative incidences of cardiovascular mortality were calculated for each stage from confounder-adjusted survival curves using the G-formula.

Results:
Over a median 9.5-year follow-up, 2,564 participants experienced cardiovascular death. The 15-year adjusted cumulative incidences of cardiovascular mortality were: Stage 0, 5.5% (95% CI, 1.8-9.3); Stage 1, 5.7% (95% CI, 3.2-8.2); Stage 2, 7.9% (95% CI, 6.8-9.1); Stage 3, 8.7% (95% CI 6.7-10.8); Stage 4, 15.2% (95% CI, 13.6-16.8). The absolute risk difference between CKM Stage 4 and Stage 0 at 15 years was 9.6% (95% CI, 5.6-13.6). The survival difference between CKM stage 0 and Stage 4 at 15 years was 5.6 (95% CI, 5.5-5.7 months.

Conclusions:
Our findings reveal a graded risk for cardiovascular mortality associated with higher CKM syndrome stage.
RESEARCH ON PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE OF WATERBORNE EPOXY RESIN-MODIFIED EMULSIFIED ASPHALT BINDERS AND POTHOLE REPAIR MATERIALS
Authors: Yang Fan , Yang Liming , Zhou Qian , Chen Qiang , Tang Shiguang , He Lihong 
Published: February 2025

Traditional emulsified asphalt pothole repair materials exhibit poor temperature sensitivity, low mechanical properties, and poor water stability. Two-component waterborne epoxy resin (WER) is composed of epoxy emulsion and a curing agent, and has remarkable mechanical properties, adhesion, durability, and environmental friendliness. Two-component waterborne epoxy resin (WER) was used to modify neat emulsified asphalt, enhancing its binder properties and improving the pavement performance of pothole repair materials. The influence of the WER modifier on the pavement performance of emulsified asphalt binder and its mixture was studied. The research showed that the WER emulsion and curing agents could polymerize and produce epoxy resin under emulsified asphalt as the dispersion medium. Fourier transform infrared spectra analysis indicated that the modification of the emulsified asphalt by WER was mainly physical. With an increase in the WER content, the mechanical properties and high-temperature deformation resistance of waterborne epoxy resin-modified emulsified asphalt (WEA) binder were significantly improved while ductility was decreased. The mechanical properties of the WEA mixture had an excellent linear correlation with the water-loss rate. When the WER content exceeded 15 %, the mechanical properties, water stability, high-temperature stability, and anti-stripping performance of the WEA mixture were significantly improved. When the WER content was less than 20 %, the modifier played a reinforcing role in the emulsified asphalt binder, and the low-temperature crack resistance of the WEA mixture gradually improved with the increase in the modifier content. After exceeding the critical content, the WEA mixture gradually exhibited brittleness and hardness, and its low-temperature performance decreased. In summary, it was recommended that the WER modifier content range be 15–20 % for the pothole repair material system.

Published: February 2025

Urban mobility is associated with urban transport, as it seeks to meet people's travel needs to carry out daily activities. In this context, promoting the use of active transport to the detriment of automobile use is an important strategy in the search for more sustainable urban mobility, which makes the use of bicycles as a mode of transport more effective. In this scenario, digital technologies, such as Virtual Reality, can be important allies in supporting analyzes and studies on urban mobility. This article aims to analyze how Virtual Reality can help in the development of urban mobility projects, more specifically in the adaptation of a cycle path in the city of Passo Fundo-RS. In the methodology, initially a bibliographical research was carried out, followed by a data collection with measurements and photographs of four sections of a cycle path in Passo Fundo-RS. Next, the images were modeled, including proposals for improvements to these sections, and finally, an evaluation of the propositions using Virtual Reality glasses and the application of an evaluative questionnaire. To prepare the proposals, elements such as lane protection, signage, the state of conservation of the cycle path, among others, were analyzed. The results regarding both the propositions and the use of Virtual Reality to analyze them were quite satisfactory. Thus, the potential of using Virtual Reality for the development of mobility and urban projects, as well as for analyzing user satisfaction, can be seen.

Authors: Del Amo Lozano Milagros , Ruiz Sánchez María 
Published: February 2025

Lágrimas de Jeremías castellanas es obra de juventud de Quevedo, clasificada entre las más filológicas de su producción. Es una traducción, paráfrasis poética y comentario de los 22 versículos del primer capítulo de las Lamentaciones de Jeremías. Quevedo ofrece una transcripción del texto hebreo y una traducción literal castellana en prosa. A continuación, una interpretación de la letra hebrea que abre el versículo correspondiente, en verso, y un comentario en prosa de la misma. Sigue una paráfrasis poética en castellano, que amplía el texto original y, por último, un comentario en prosa. Quevedo hace alarde de gran erudición bíblica, aunque no faltan, como en el resto de su producción, las citas de autores grecolatinos. Esta edición se basa en el único manuscrito que contiene la obra completa (Biblioteca del Colegio de Santa Cruz de Valladolid), cotejado con otros cuatro que contienen solo una parte. Se ofrece un texto actualizado en el que se informa de las fuentes –incluso secundarias– que sirvieron a nuestro polígrafo. Se han corregido algunos errores de otras ediciones, especialmente en los textos latinos y se han completado algunas citas. El resultado es una edición modernizada de la obra de Quevedo para el siglo XXI.
Cinco estudios sobre paratexto y biografía en el Siglo de Oro
Authors: Fasquel Samuel 
Published: February 2025

En estos trabajos se intenta determinar cómo se va construyendo la figura del biografiado en esos espacios específicos del libro. Los autores de este volumen se centran, pues, en casos concretos de mediaciones paratextuales. ¿Cómo puede la información biográfica orientar o pretender orientar la recepción de la obra? Retrospectivamente, ¿qué nos aportan esos documentos sobre la imagen que los lectores del Siglo de Oro tenían de Anacreón, Tertuliano, Lope de Vega o Quevedo? Los numerosos paratextos examinados contribuyen a responder a esas preguntas y permiten profundizar en nuestro conocimiento de la escritura biográfica, de la concepción de lo que podía ser un paratexto y de la percepción que se tenía de esos autores antiguos o modernos.
