Context and objectives. The health services of the army are essential in promoting the physical condition for operational troops. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of adapted physical activity (APA) on VO2max level and cardiorespiratory performance of soldiers. Methods. An Open, parallel, randomized controlled trial, was carried out at CECVK (Camp Lt-Colonel Kokolo, Kinshasa) from June 2016 to October 2017 in 226 sedentary soldiers assigned for 8 weeks to APA (n=119) or control (n=107). Randomization used permuted blocks of four consecutive participants. Primary endpoint: Baseline-adjusted between group difference in VO2max and cardio-respiratory performance. Results. In 122 participants (Control 42; active 80) who fully adhered to the protocol, VO2max at the end of follow-up increased from 31.4 (95% CI: 27.7-37.5) to 34.7 (30.3-37.5) ml/min/kg (control group) and from 25.8 (23.1-30.9) to 47.5 (42.4-51.1) ml/min/kg (active group); between group difference: 18.4 (15.9-18.9) ml/min/kg. Compared to the control group, VO2max in the active group was significantly improved in all categories of participants at the end of follow-up. The rate of good performance increased from 14.3 to 23.8% (p=0.069) in the control group, from 25.3 to 71.0% (p<0.001) in the active group; between group difference: 36.1(24.8 -39.6) %. The probability of achieving good performance was greater for subjects <50 years (RRa: 2.04 [95% CI]; p=0.046), non-diabetics (1.94 [1.49-2.79]; p=0.031), without subclinical atherosclerosis (1.67[1.27-2.68]; p=0.039) and those allocated to APA (3.43[1.96-4.98]; p<0.001). VO2max and BP changes were negatively correlated. Conclusion. By improving the cardio-respiratory performance of sedentary soldiers, the APA strengthened their physical condition.

Resilience of Civiliarchic Democracy in the Face of Challenges and Gaps in European Integration: The Political Dimension of the Index of Civiliarchy
Authors: Aleksanyan Ashot , Aleksanyan Arusyak 
Published: January 2025

The Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries face significant challenges in achieving democratic consolidation amid geopolitical tensions, authoritarian tendencies and regional conflicts. This paper examines the resilience of civiliarchic democracy as a framework to understand and address these challenges. The study employs a mixed methods approach including comparative analysis and the Civiliarchy Index to explore the interplay between European integration, democratic resilience and anti-civiliarchic forces. To identify the main principles of EU foreign policy in the EaP countries and its normative component, a qualitative targeted content analysis of official EU documentation was used. Additionally, the method of discourse analysis was used to consider the narrative regarding the participation and lobbying from the EU and European institutions and values within the EaP countries, as well as prepare for the negotiations with EU and EU member states for the interests of EaP countries. Europeanization and democratization determine both the political and social prospects for sustainable development of the EaP countries, as well as the hybrid challenges of strategic security and the dichotomy of inter-integration conflicts. The paper analyzes the gaps in European political integration in the EaP countries for the period from 2013 to 2023. The authors rely on studies on Europeanization and European political integration in the tradition of neo-institutionalism, as well as on the resilience of the EaP countries. The findings of the paper imply that the civiliarchic democracy the EaP countries face is thwarted by internal instability, external pressures and shortcomings in EU policies. But EU’s strategic and engagement can in some extent tackle authoritarian trends and improve democratic institutions. Theoretical and practical insight into the concept of civiliarchic democracy and its resiliency in light of the democratization literature is the main contribution of the study. Policy and scholarly implications of the findings in support of improving democratic institutions and further inclusive European integration in the EaP region are suggested.

Anxiety in pregnant women will increase when the delivery schedule is getting closer, namely entering the third trimester, mothers begin to think about the process of giving birth and the condition of the baby to be born. Mothers who suffer from stress and anxiety during pregnancy in the third trimester will experience an increase in the release of stress hormones, causing disruption of blood flow in the uterus and resulting in weak uterine muscle contractions. This event causes the longer labor process (old partus), the risk of cesarean section, and delivery with tools. The risk to the baby can cause congenital abnormalities in the form of failure to close the palate gap, premature birth, giving birth to babies with low birth weight (BBLR), emergency (fetal stress) and in the long term related to behavioral and emotional disorders of the child. . Based on the results of an assessment of anxiety levels in third trimester pregnant women with Classical Music and Murottal therapy, it is known that during 7-day observation there was a decrease in anxiety levels, namely: 1. There was a decrease in anxiety levels of third trimester2. There was a decrease in anxiety levels of III trimester pregnant women before and after murottal therapy by 26 in 7 days. Based on the results of research on the level of anxiety in III trimester pregnant women, it shows that, pregnant women before and after classical music therapy by 20 in 7 days. There is a difference in reducing the level of anxiety of pregnant women given classical music therapy with murottal therapy. The decrease in anxiety levels of pregnant women who were given murottal therapy was faster than the level of anxiety reduction compared to pregnant women who were given classical music therapy

Published: January 2025

The genus Jacaranda is a significant representative of the tribe Tecomeae in the family Bignoniaceae, which comprises indigenous species from the region of South America that are present across tropical areas all over the globe. The primary goal of the present study deals with conducting phytochemical screening in addition to evaluating the effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions of Jacaranda mimosifolia crude extract. The investigation revealed the presence of chemicals like glycosides, carbohydrates, tannins, proteins, amino acids, terpenoids, fats and oils. ABTS and DPPH scavenging tests were employed to investigate the antioxidant action of the methanolic extract and the IC50 values are 144.231 M/µL and 12.957 M/µL respectively. It showed effective antimicrobial action against P. aeruginosa, S. typhi, S. mutans and E. coli in four different concentrations. In addition, the extract was assessed for anti-inflammatory efficacy utilising the Bovine Serum Albumin Denaturation Assay and the IC50 value was 213.85 M/µL. Moreover, the structural and physiochemical features of the protein, ribosomal protein L23, present in Jacaranda mimosifolia which exhibit antioxidant actions was characterized via various bioinformatics tools. According to the findings, it is evident that extracts of its seed could be a viable substitute for synthetic antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract. A major impact of anthropogenic climate change is the crossing of tipping points, which may have severe consequences such as the complete mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). At present, the GrIS is losing mass at an accelerated rate, largely due to a steep decrease in its surface mass balance (SMB; the balance between snow accumulation and surface ablation from melt and associated runoff). Previous work on the magnitude and nature of a threshold for GrIS complete melt remains controversial. Here, we explore a potential SMB threshold for complete melt of the GrIS; the impact and interplay of surface melt and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) in determining this threshold; and whether the GrIS exhibits characteristics commonly associated with tipping points, such as sensitivity to external forcing. To this end, we force the Community Ice Sheet Model v.2 (CISM2) by cycling different SMB climatologies previously calculated at multiple elevation classes with the Community Earth System Model v.2 (CESM2) in a two-way coupled CESM2–CISM2 transient simulation of the global climate and GrIS under high CO2 forcing. The SMB calculation in CESM2 has been evaluated with contemporary observations and high-resolution modelling and includes an advanced representation of surface melt and snow–firn processes. We find a positive SMB threshold for complete GrIS melt of 230 ± 84 Gt yr−1, corresponding to a 60 % decrease in SMB and to a global mean warming of +3.4 K compared to pre-industrial CESM2–CISM2 simulated values. In our simulations, a small change in the initial SMB forcing (from 255 to 230 Gt yr−1) and global mean warming above pre-industrial levels (from +3.2 to +3.4 K) causes an abrupt change in the GrIS final volume (from 50 % mass to nearly complete deglaciation). This nonlinear behaviour is caused by the SMB–elevation feedback, which responds to changes in surface topography due to surface melt and GIA. The GrIS tips from ∼ 50 % mass towards nearly complete melt when the impact of melt-induced surface lowering outweighs that of GIA-induced bedrock uplift and the (initially positive) SMB becomes and remains negative for at least a few thousand years. We also find that the GrIS tips towards nearly complete melt when the ice margin in the central west unpins from a coastal region with high topography and SMB. We show that if we keep the SMB fixed (i.e. no SMB–elevation feedback) in this relatively confined region, the ice sheet retreat is halted and nearly complete GrIS melt is prevented even though the initial SMB forcing is past the threshold. Based on the minimum GrIS configuration in previous paleo-ice-sheet modelling studies, we suggest that the surface topography in the central west might have played a role in preventing larger GrIS loss during the last interglacial period ∼ 130–115 kyr BP.
On the lidar-turbulence paradox and possible countermeasures
Authors: Peña Alfredo , Yankova Ginka G. , Mallini Vasiliki 
Published: January 2025

Abstract. We describe the major difficulties in establishing a physics-based method that corrects lidar-based turbulence measures to enable adequate turbulence statistics of the atmospheric flow. The difficulties encompass the so-called lidar-turbulence paradox, which we circumvent in two ways. The first uses a physics-based lidar-turbulence model, and the second directly uses lidar measurements, both approaches aiming at training neural networks. The measurements are from continuous-wave Doppler lidar wind profilers deployed beside a 250 m tall meteorological mast at the Østerild test station in Denmark. Sonic anemometers on the mast match four lidar measurement levels, from 37 up to 241 m height. The physics-based lidar-turbulence model predicts the behavior of the ratio of the lidar-to-sonic along- and cross-wind velocity variance up to 103 m well. However, it predicts further decreasing ratios at 175 and 241 m, while the observations show increasing ratios for a number of stability conditions and length-scale ranges. The physics-based lidar-turbulence model is used to produce physics-based datasets, which are utilized to train neural networks. Compared to turbulence intensity measurements from a first lidar, the predictions of these neural networks are in better agreement with the sonic-based measures for most mean wind speed bins at 37 and 103 m. At 175 and 241 m, the prediction accuracy reduces, and better agreement is achieved within the highest mean wind speed ranges only. Measurements from a second lidar are used to generate predictions of turbulence intensity with neural networks trained with measurements from the first lidar. At 37 and 103 m, these predictions are also in better agreement with the sonic-based measures than those of the second lidar for most mean wind speed ranges. However, at 175 and 241 m, turbulence measures derived from the second lidar are generally close to the sonic-based values, while the predictions overestimate them. We speculate either that the assumption of turbulence homogeneity within the lidar scanning pattern might not hold at the site and/or that the Doppler radial velocity spectra of the lidars might be contaminated, thus impacting the radial velocity estimates particularly with increasing focus distance.
