ObjectiveThe “Super Quinas” project evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention program to improve physical activity, aerobic fitness, sleep, and motor competence on children in primary school.MethodsThe experimental group (n = 19) enrolled in a 12-week intervention program (one more extra-curricular activity class of 60 min per week) compared to the CG (n = 19), all aged 9–10 years. Physical activity (PA) and sleep were measured by accelerometry, and aerobic fitness was measured by Children’s Yo-Yo test (YYIR1C) during the 1st week (PRE), the 6th week (DUR), and the 12th week (POST) of the intervention program. Motor Competence in PRE and POST intervention was also assessed by the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) instrument. Heart rate (HR, assessed using HR monitors), and enjoyment level were recorded during all intervention program classes. A linear mixed model analysis (i.e., within-subject analyses) was performed.ResultsComparing the EG and CG in DUR and POST, the EG spent ~18 min and ~ 34 min more time in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day (p &lt; 0.001); had ~44 min and ~ 203 min less sedentary time per day (p &lt; 0.001); performed more 44 and 128 m in the Children’s Yo-Yo test compared to CG (p &lt; 0.001) and slept more 17 and 114 min per night (p &lt; 0.001). In POST motor competence was significantly better (27%) in the EG compared to CG (p &lt; 0.001). The %HRmax during the extra-curricular classes ranged between 65 and 81% (i.e., light to moderate intensities), and the enjoyment between fun and great fun.ConclusionOur findings suggest that adding one more extra-curricular activity class of 60 min per week for 12 weeks effectively increased the levels of physical activity, aerobic fitness, sleep duration, and motor competence in children aged 9–10 years.

Carbohydrates, also known glycans, are ubiquitous in nature and exhibit a wide array of biological functions essential to life. Glycans often exist as conjugates of proteins or lipids and reside predominantly at the surface of cells, where their structure and composition are known to vary in a disease-dependent fashion. This observation has encouraged the development of tools for monitoring glycan patterns on individual molecules, cells, and tissues, to elucidate the links between glycosylation and disease for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Over the past 2 decades, microfluidic technology has emerged as an advantageous tool for profiling the glycan content of biological systems. Miniaturizing carbohydrate analysis can circumvent several challenges commonly encountered with conventional-scale analytical techniques such as low throughput and poor detection sensitivity. The latter is often complicated by the low abundance of glycans in biological specimens and the complexity of carbohydrate structures, which often necessitates extensive concentration and purification of glycans to discern their structural features. We previously examined the application of microfluidics in the synthesis of carbohydrates in a recent paper (Pinnock et al., Anal. Bioanal. Chem., 2022, 414 (18), 5139–63). This review builds upon that discussion by delving into the application of microfluidics in the complementary field of carbohydrate analysis. Special attention is given to applications related to glycomics and the ways that microfluidics have enhanced the sensitivity, reproducibility, and throughput of carbohydrate identification and structural characterization.

IntroductionQuinoa a crop with high nutritional value has the widespread adaptability to different climates and there is an increased demand for this product in the world. Characterized by roots with extensive penetration capabilities and wide, alternate leaves giving rise to diverse inflorescences, quinoa plants exhibit variable heights ranging from 20 to 300 cm. The duration of their growth phase spans 95 to 125 days’ contingent upon cultivar selection and prevailing climatic conditions.Materials and methodsIn order to reduce chemical fertilizers consumption through using organic fertilizers a two-year study was conducted at the Research Farm of the University of Kurdistan, Iran, during the 2021–2022 growing seasons. In this study the effects of varying levels of irrigation and vermicompost application on soil characteristics and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) yield were investigated. The experiments were arranged as split plots within a randomized complete block design. The main factor consisted of four irrigation levels (50%, 75%, 100%, and 125% of quinoa’s water requirement), while the sub-factor encompassed four vermicompost application rates (0, 5, 10, and 15 tons per hectare). The irrigation method employed was a drip-tape irrigation system with a seven-day interval between irrigations, and water quantities were measured using a volumetric meter on the main pipeline.ResultsThe results demonstrated that the highest levels of available soil phosphorus (21.83 mg kg−1) and soil ammonium (36.08 mg kg−1) were observed in the treatment receiving 50% of quinoa’s water requirement combined with 15 tons per hectare of vermicompost. Additionally, the application of 15 tons per hectare of vermicompost led to the highest concentrations of soil nitrate (14.16 mg kg−1), available potassium (144.62 mg kg−1), and quinoa seed yield (1784.01 kg ha−1)). Over both years, the greatest activity of alkaline and acid phosphatase enzymes was noted in the treatment receiving 125% of quinoa’s water requirement in combination with 15 tons per hectare of vermicompost. Vermicompost application was found to enhance yield and ameliorate drought stress by enhancing soil physical and chemical properties and improving soil moisture retention.

IntroductionLamb production systems are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint, particularly emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane. However, the metrics used to express the carbon footprint of lamb seldom consider its nutritional density and contribution to balanced diets in humans. Lamb production systems vary considerably, from low-input pastoral systems to higher-input systems feeding concentrates for the latter ‘finishing’ period. To date, no studies have explored the effect of finishing diet on the carbon footprint of lamb meat on a nutritional basis.MethodsData from 444 carcasses were collected from four abattoirs across Wales, United Kingdom. Lambs were derived from 33 farms with one of four distinct finishing diets: forage crops (n = 5), grass (n = 11), concentrates (n = 7), and grass and concentrates (n = 15). Carcass data were analysed using mixed effects models. Significant differences were found in fatty acid composition of two large commercial cuts of meat from different finishing diets. To illustrate the effect of different measures of footprint, mass (kg dwt) and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content (g omega-3) were selected as functional units. GHG emission estimates were calculated using Agrecalc.ResultsThe concentrates diet had the lowest average mass-based product emissions [25.0 kg CO2e/kg deadweight (dwt)] while the grass systems had the highest (28.1 kg CO2e/kg dwt; p &lt; 0.001). The semimembranosus muscle cut from the forage crops diet had the lowest average nutrition-based product emissions (19.2 kg CO2e/g omega-3); whereas the same muscle cut from lambs finished on the grass and concentrates diet had the highest nutrition-based product emissions (29.4 kg CO2e/g omega-3; p &lt; 0.001).DiscussionWhile mass-based functional units can be useful for comparing efficiencies of different farming systems, they do not reflect how farming systems impact the nutritional differences of the final product. This study demonstrates the importance of considering nutrition when expressing and comparing the carbon footprints of nutrient-dense foods such as lamb. This approach could also help inform discussions around the optimal diets for lamb production systems from both a human nutrition and environmental sustainability perspective.

IntroductionAssessing chronic pain in dogs has been greatly favoured by the development of Owner-Reported Outcome Measures. Among them, the Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs (LOAD) has been widely used for this purpose. Most of these tools have been written in English and its use by non English natives requires not only translation but also linguistic validation for use by veterinarians and owners. For its use, the LOAD has not undergone translation into Spanish and the objective was to generate a linguistically validated Spanish translation of the LOAD.MethodsFollowing the World Health Organisation and the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research published guidelines, the original LOAD English version underwent analysis and translation by two native linguists proficient in the target language. Both translations were then reviewed by a third native linguist to identify potential disparities and establish a cohesive translation (reconciliation). Subsequently, an independent linguist, fluent in both English and the target language, conducted the back translation. Finally, the research team compared the original and back translated versions to pinpoint and resolve any significant differences. Following the creation of the translated version, a cognitive debriefing was conducted to assess the questionnaire within the target population.ResultsA total of 89 surveys were distributed to dog owners of varying ages, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although there were some suggestions and comments, and some adjustments were made, all respondents found the survey to be clear, achieving a linguistic validation of the Spanish LOAD.

Denture cleaning methods can be done in two ways, namely mechanical and chemical. Mechanical cleaning is performed using toothbrushes, powders, pastes, or ultrasonic tools, while chemical cleaning is carried out by immersing the dentures in a cleaning solution such as in a disinfectant. The price of disinfectants and antiseptics on the market is now quite expensive, so that traditional ingredients can be used as substitutes or alternatives. One type of traditional medicinal plant that can be used is aloe vera. According to the monitoring of the service at the Elderly Dahlia Posyandu, there are those who use dentures and do not know how to make a disinfectant solution from aloe vera to treat dentures. This activity aims to train the elderly / family to make their own anti-inflammatory dentures made from aloe vera plants. The target of this training is the elderly at the Dahlia posyandu. The expected result is that the elderly can make a disinfectant solution from aloe vera to dentures.

The present study aimed to address the problems encountered in Arabic learning for fifth-grade students at MI Bahrul Ulum, specifically the lack of innovative media, with a particular focus on Mufrodat materials. In addition, students' disinterest in learning Arabic can be attributed to the fact that teachers rely solely on traditional learning resources, such as textbooks devoid of any innovative media. This results in students experiencing boredom and lack of concentration during lessons, which renders learning uninteresting and repetitive. In addition to determining the degree of interest in Mufrodat Asik Snakes-and-Ladders (UTAMA) media under development, this study was focused on providing a description of the procedure used in its creation. To achieve this aim, the ADDIE model was employed by the following five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The findings of the study indicate that the Mufrodat Asik Snakes-and-Ladders (UTAMA) media product underwent a methodical development process. Several stages of validation were completed to ensure the media were valid and suitable. Media experts assessed the product with a 94% (very valid) rating, followed by language experts with a 95% (very valid) rating, and material experts with a 98% (very valid) rating. In the interim, students evaluated the attractiveness of the media through a series of testing phases and responses to a questionnaire: 97% for individual trials, 99% for small group trials, and 95% for large group trials (all piqued interest). Thus, it can be concluded that the developed Mufrodat Asik Snakes-and-Ladders (UTAMA) media satisfies the criteria for attractiveness and validity/feasibility, and can be utilized for educational purposes.
Quantifying Solar Radiation Pressure Effects on Dust at Small Heliocentric Distances
Authors: Hanlon Jake , Jones Geraint H. , Williams Vinay 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The dynamics of dust grains has traditionally been modeled under the assumption that the ratio of the opposing solar radiation pressure and gravitational forces is fixed for an individual, unchanging grain. However, at small heliocentric distances, this assumption is inaccurate, as the variation in radiation pressure force with heliocentric distance does not follow an inverse square law there, as the Sun cannot be approximated as a point source of light. To correct for this, we have calculated the required correction to assumed radiation pressure force values, taking into account the decrease in both the visible solar area and in the radial solar radiation force components. We present here an empirical fit to this correction, for heliocentric distances 0.028–1.00 au. This correction may be used to more accurately simulate dust motion near the Sun.

Abstract
The Lucy LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager (L’LORRI) took 1549 images of the Didymos–Dimorphos binary system, starting 12 hr before the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact event on 2022 September 26 and ending 24 hr after it. The Lucy imaging campaign provided pre-impact monitoring of the baseline brightness of the Didymos system, as well as intensive 1 s cadence imaging starting 3 minutes prior to impact and extending until 4 minutes after impact, and then continued monitoring at increasing cadences and image exposure times to measure the Didymos system brightness changes produced by ejecta released during the impact. One of the L’LORRI images encompassed the exact time when the DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, but there is no evidence of a thermally generated optical flash in the image. L’LORRI observed a shell of fast-moving ejecta, and we derive a range of projected speeds (∼0.26–3.6 km s−1) for that material. The much slower moving ejecta (≲1 m s−1) stayed within a single L’LORRI pixel for the entire duration of the Lucy-DART program. We find that the slow ejecta were responsible for 57.4% ± 2.2% of the total post-impact brightness increase measured by L’LORRI, while the fast ejecta were responsible for 42.6% ± 2.3% of the post-impact brightness increase. The initial brightness increase relative to the pre-impact Didymos system brightness was significantly smaller for L’LORRI compared to that measured by some ground-based observers, which is plausibly explained by differences in phase angles and different responses to sodium emission depending on the camera spectral bandwidths.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common urological cancer, and its incidence is increasing. Radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy are theprimary treatments for localized forms. Stereotactic Body RadioTherapy (SBRT), a new and innovative therapy, has been validated for some cancer localizations but not yet for localized prostate cancer. Our study aims to report the efficacy and tolerance results of SBRT for localized prostate cancer.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of 27 patients with localized prostate cancer (CaP) who were treated with SBRT in our department from 2017 to 2021 using transponders for tumor tracking. The dose was 36.25 Gy delivered in five fractions of 7.25 Gy. The delineation and doses of organs at risk were determined based on the recommendations of the SFRO and the TG101 report of medical physics. All patients were treated using a latest-generation linear accelerator (True Beam STXÒ).Results: Acute toxicities were observed in 33.3% of cases, with 22.2% grade 1 or 2 genitourinary (GU) and no grade 3 while 11.1% gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities were reported as grade 1-2 (7.4%) and one case grade 3 (3.7%). Late grade 1 or 2 GU toxicity was observed in 14.84% of cases, with no reports of late GI toxicity. After a 26-month follow-up period, the biochemical failure-free survival rate was 92.6%.Conclusions: The results of our study are consistent with the existing literature and support the safety and effectiveness of SBRT as a treatment option for localized prostate cancer (CaP). In the United States, both ASTRO and the NCCN recognize SBRT as a valid treatment option for localized CaP. Ongoing phase III trials are being conducted to further substantiate these long-term results and to establish SBRT as the future standard of care for localized CaP.

ABSTRACT.
A two decades–long epidemic of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in northern México reached the U.S. border city of Tijuana in 2021. Cases were near the city periphery in marginalized areas, some lacking infrastructure such as streets or utilities. We worked in the three census areas where human cases were reported and in 12 additional control Áreas Geoestadisticas Básicas. There were dogs, the primary tick host and Rickettsia rickettsii reservoir, in 76% of homes, with 2.2 owned dogs per home on average, approximately equal numbers of roaming dogs were seen, and 46.2% of owned dogs were allowed to roam in the street. Sixty-eight percent of people had heard of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), and 35% self-reported tick infestation, including 19% of homes without dogs. Ticks appeared to move among houses of adjacent neighbors. Of 191 examined dogs, 61.8% were tick-infested, with 6-fold increased odds if they were allowed to roam. Although no dogs were Rickettsia polymerase chain reaction–positive, we found one R. rickettsii– and 11 Rickettsia massiliae–infected ticks. The rickettsial IgG seroprevalence by immunofluorescence antibody assay was 76.4%, associated with unhealthy body condition, adults, dogs with >10 ticks, more dogs being seen in the area, and dogs being permitted in the street. Insufficient medical and canine management resources have contributed to a case fatality rate of RMSF that has exceeded 50% in areas. High canine seroprevalence suggests risks to people and dogs; unfortunately, herd immunity is impeded by high turnover in the canine population owing to the birth of puppies and high death rates. Binational One Health workers should monitor disease spread, enact canine population management and tick eradication, and provide prevention, diagnostic, and treatment support.
