Synchronized charge extraction circuit for electret‐based vibration energy harvester
Authors: Liu Guoping , He Zhongbo , Zhou Jingtao , Dong Chao , Yang Zhaoshu 
Published: September 2023

AbstractImpedance matching is one outstanding issue for the electret‐based vibration energy harvester (eVEH) due to its small equivalent capacitance. In this paper, the authors developed a synchronized charge extraction (SCE) circuit for eVEH, to improve its performance in small load resistance conditions. An electromagnetic detector is embedded with the eVEH to detect its maximum vibration amplitude. The synchronized switch is controlled by a microcontroller unit. According to the authors’ simulation study, the power output of eVEH interfaced with the SCE circuit is three times larger than that of the standard circuit, which proved the effectiveness of our SCE circuit.
Memory‐based deep reinforcement learning for cognitive radar target tracking waveform resource management
Authors: Qin Jiahao , Zhu Mengtao , Pan Zesi , Li Yunjie , Li Yan 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA cognitive radar (CR) system can offer enhanced target tracking performance due to its intelligence on the perception‐action cycle, wherein a CR adaptively allocates the limited transmitting resources based on its perception of surrounding environments. To effectively manage the transmit waveform resource for the target tracking task, CR resource management problem is formulated under the partially observable Markov decision process framework. The sequential decision‐making and the inherent partial observability for target tracking problem are considered. In the proposed method, a long short‐term memory (LSTM)‐based twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm is developed to effectively solve the problem. A reward function is designed considering Haykin's cognitive executive attention mechanism for radar systems such that the CR resource management policy has stability in the decision of transmit waveform, which follows the principle of minimum disturbance. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed LSTM memory‐based TD3 with improved target tracking performance and increased mean rewards for CR.

Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and awareness of oral hygiene among individuals of Jazan, Southern Saudi Arabia using a well-designed questionnaire.
Materials and MethodsThis prospective study was conducted on 1,000 study subjects using a self-constructed 16-item close-ended questionnaire in English and the reply was recorded by a single investigator. Both the genders were compared in terms of awareness regarding their oral health by evaluating responses to the questions asked.
Statistical AnalysisData collected was subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS 20.0 version.
ResultsA total of 1000 study subjects were assessed, out of which equal distribution (50%) was seen among both the genders. Statistically a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) was observed between both the genders in relation to most of the questions, with females being more aware as compared with males regarding oral hygiene practices.
ConclusionThis study revealed that although females were more aware of maintaining oral health practices than males, still lack of knowledge and awareness was observed among both the genders in Jazan region. Thus, it is essential to implement various educational and awareness programs regarding oral hygiene practices, so that oral health-related quality of life can be improved.
Arthroscopic Lunate Excision for Stage 3 Kienbock's Disease
Authors: Merlini L. , Maffeis J. , Mathoulin C. , Sivakumar B.S. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background The ideal treatment of stage 3 Kienbock's disease is uncertain, with current open procedures conferring the risk of carpal instability, ulnar translocation, and stiffness. We present our technique of arthroscopic lunate excision, and discuss our short- to medium-term results.
Description of Technique Via standard wrist arthroscopic portals, the lunate is excised using a combination of shavers, burrs, and rongeurs. Care is taken to preserve the extreme dorsal and volar cortices of the lunate to prevent carpal instability. A short arm backslab is applied for 2 weeks, after which the patient commences range of motion.
Patients and Methods Consecutive patients undergoing arthroscopic lunate excision at a single center in Paris, France, underwent pre- and postoperative assessment. Parameters assessed include range of motion, as well as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Results A cohort of 13 patients (7 females and 6 males with a mean age of 27.2 years) underwent arthroscopic lunate excision, and were followed up for a mean of 1.96 years. Significant improvements were noted in flexion, extension, pronation, grip strength, and PROMs.
Conclusions Arthroscopic lunectomy provides significant improvements in clinical and PROMs at short- to medium-term follow-up, and conserves other salvage options in case of failure. Long-term clinical follow-up and further biomechanical studies would be beneficial.
Distal Radioulnar Joint Interposition Arthroplasty for Primary Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthritis
Authors: Carlson Strother Courtney R. , Kakar Sanjeev 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background Surgical management of the painful, arthritic distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) remains challenging, particularly in young, active patients.
Description of Technique Following exposure of the DRUJ through a dorsal longitudinal incision over the DRUJ, suture anchors are evenly placed around the sigmoid notch. The sutures are threaded through the dermal allograft to secure the graft into the sigmoid notch. The volar edges of the allograft are passed from radial to ulnar underneath the distal ulna and secured to the remaining allograft dorsally, reducing the DRUJ and creating a stable interposition arthroplasty.
Patients, Methods, and Results We present a case report of a young, manual laborer who had significant improvement in pain, range of motion, and grip strength 6 months following interposition arthroplasty at the DRUJ. He was able to return to work after completing his rehabilitation following surgery.
Conclusions Dermal allograft interposition arthroplasty may provide reliable pain relief while maintaining pronosupination and stability of the DRUJ in the appropriately selected patient, without the need for lifting restrictions.
“Days of Sun, Playing, and Dreams”
Authors: Amir Ayala 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
After a brief overview of children’s photography books in Israel, this chapter focuses on photobooks that were shot in
the kibbutzim. Created mostly by local photographers with an insider’s gaze, these books embody the vision of childhood in a rural,
parentless environment protected from the fate of the Oedipal fall and the perils of a changing society. While promoting the vision of
the kibbutz by documenting children’s everyday life, some of these books tap into the loss and deprivation in the realized utopia of
the kibbutz. The three case studies discussed in the chapter, published between 1961–1968, present various interactions between
photographer and writer, images and words, that yielded intricate messages. An analysis of them shows how this variant of the
photobook exploited the qualities of the medium and the genre, which combine realism and nostalgia, in order to reveal the underlying
tensions in the kibbutz’s vision and way of life.
Keynote 2: How our social world shapes physical activity and exercise
Authors: Cruwys Tegan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
While research on the determinants of physical activity has ostensibly used draws on a biopsychosocial model, in reality, the social determinants of physical activity have been relatively neglected. In my talk, I will provide an overview of the empirical evidence for how social phenomena - including our group memberships, social norms, and leadership - shape peoples' participation in, exertion during, and enjoyment of, physical activity. As well as reviewing the evidence for these effects, my talk will also explore how and why: what are some potential underpinning mechanisms for these robust links? The theoretical and practical implications of these findings will be discussed, with a focus on how social psychology can be harnessed for health behaviour interventions.
S1-3 Creating Active Schools
Authors: Daly-Smith Andy 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
The Creating Active Schools Framework was co-developed in June 2019 by 50 national and international stakeholders (teachers, headteachers, active school coordinators, Public Health leads, Active Partnership school leads, UK and international researchers, national sport and education organisations, members of the local delivery pilots). The co-developed CAS programme takes a professional development approach to support schools to review current provision and make evidence-informed decisions to address school policy, environments, and stakeholder behaviour to improve opportunities for children to be physically active (https://ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12966-020-0917-z).

Project description
Since conception, the framework has been adopted by practice and has currently scaled to work across 18 localities in England and over 200 schools. As part of this journey, the development of the online profiling tool (https://www.creatingactiveschools.org), a central piece of the intervention approach that places professional development for physical activity at the heart of the school community will be shared. Key learning on drawing partners and stakeholders from across, policy, research and practice together will be provided as well as an overview of the planned wider rollout of CAS (adding a further 20 localities and 200 schools from Sept 2023). Plans for the interdisciplinary evaluation of the implementation of CAS at scale and the cost(effectiveness) of the programme under naturalistic conditions will be provided.

Conclusions
CAS, the UK’s first large-scale whole school physical activity programme, is uniquely placed to provide much-needed evidence to inform government investment and educational reform on how to scale health-based interventions under real-word conditions.
S2-1 Physical literacy in Europe
Authors:   Chair(s):, Carl Johannes , Elsborg Peter 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Introduction
Most approaches in health-enhancing physical activity with a focus on person-related qualities take a fragmented view on physically, active lifestyles, as they concentrate on unidimensional constructs with an isolated perspective. However, physical literacy (PL) can be described as a holistic and integrative concept that simultaneously considers physical, cognitive, and affective determinants for physical activity. The PL concept has gained momentum in recent years and its promotion has been suggested as a key mechanism within the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030 (World Health Organization) for the reduction of worldwide physical inactivity in the future.

Presentations
The present symposium starts with an introduction into the concept, including its history, philosophic underpinnings, and most important assumptions. The findings of the EUROPLIT study will frame the further course of this symposium, as this study comprehensively assessed and compared the situation of PL in research, practice, and policy across Europe. In this context, the present symposium will zoom into the specific situation of three European countries and exemplarily present studies that reflect the national developments of PL. In the first country-specific contribution, Portuguese researchers will report on the current state of PL assessments and PL interventions within their country. In the second country-specific contribution, a research team from different institutions will illustrate how the PL concept guides the design of interventions in Denmark and how these are implemented into practice and policy. In the third country-specific contribution, two Austrian researchers will describe the multi-phase development process of a PL questionnaire for adults in German language.

Q&A
The symposium concludes with a discussion (moderated by the two chairs) on the most relevant blind sports in research, future pathways as well as consequences for practice and policy. In summary, the symposium bridges the gap between research, practice, and policy. Therefore, it can make a major contribution to this years’ conference focus.
S2-2 Characterizing the adoption of physical literacy in research, practice and policy across Europe
Authors: Carl Johannes 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
The concept of physical literacy (PL) takes a holistic perspective on physically active lifestyles by simultaneously considering physical, cognitive, and affective/psychological requirements on the personal level. In recent years, PL has undergone a dynamic development globally and Europe is no exception. Yet, there is scant knowledge about the current situation of PL in Europe. Against this background, the purpose of this study was to comprehensively assess and compare the state of PL implementation in research, policy, and practice across the continent.

Methods
We assembled a panel of 34 experts across 25 European countries (snowballing principle). Drawing on a complementary mixed-methods design, the experts first prepared reviews about the current state of PL in their countries (prescribed categories: research, practice/policy). Subsequently, two researchers from different countries submitted the reviews to a four-step document analysis (material reading, data extraction, data analysis, distillation of findings). Finally, the representatives completed a quantitative survey with items reflecting the inductive themes from the document analysis to re-validate the qualitative findings.

Results
The document analysis yielded ten disjunct themes (related to the overarching categories “concept”, “research”, “practice/policy”, “future/prospect”). We identified a heterogenous situation of PL in Europe, with anglophone countries tending to better adopt the concept in research, practice, and policy. Research initiatives are largely fragmented within the European countries and scholarly progress often bases on the effort of single researchers. PL plays hardly any role in health agendas on the national level and curricula often list single PL elements without explicitly mentioning PL. In summary, PL hesitantly permeates practice and policy in most countries, while the implementation state was strongly related to conceptual discussions (e.g., dominance of competing approaches), translation challenges, and country-specific traditions. Nonetheless, the country representatives anticipate an increasing popularity of PL in the future.

Conclusions
Despite the heterogeneous situation in Europe, the analysis has revealed similarities among the countries, such as the presence of established yet not identical concepts. Research should strengthen the academic activities (conceptual-linguistic elaborations, empirical work) before PL may gain further access into practical and political spheres in the long term.

S2-3 Physical literacy in Portugal: assessment and intervention developments
Authors: Martins João , Carolo Dora , Mota João , Onofre Marcos 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Physical literacy (PL) is being recognized as a key concept to set the foundation for health enhancing physically active lifestyles for all. Portugal is one of the European countries where PL is gaining momentum. This communication aims to present the Portuguese initiatives on PL assessment and intervention developments.

Methods
In a first phase the Portuguese representatives on the EUROPLIT group identified diverse national sources of knowledge on PL research, practice and policy and produced a review. After a four-step data analysis conducted by two researchers on the reviews of 25 European countries, a quantitative survey integrating items that reflected the emerging themes from the overall content analysis was completed. The data related to the state of PL in Portugal is presented.

Results
Portuguese PL research and pedagogical initiatives have been developed since 2016. FMH-ULisboa research group is leading the study and dissemination of PL through the development of PhD projects, the participation in European projects and the implementation of international scientific events. Regarding research efforts, it is highlighted the relevant advances on the study of PL assessment provided by the creation and validation of the Portuguese Physical Literacy Assessment instrument. Other Higher Education Institutions are also starting to create quality research on PL development. Intervention studies are missing, two recent innovative intervention projects were identified regarding PL development through blue spaces, and the effect of active breaks on PL and body composition. PL has recently been adopted in political documents and implemented in undergraduate, master, PhD level and Continuous Professional Development initiatives.

Conclusions
The journey of implementing PL is beginning in Portugal. Conceptual, review studies and original research on PL assessment have been developed. Intervention studies are needed. Collaborative partnerships across education, sport and health sectors may be key to move PL forward.
S4-1 Learning from national initiatives from across the EU in HEPA policy monitoring and evaluation
Authors:   Chair(s):, Crone Diane , Vuillemin Anne 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The monitoring and evaluation of HEPA policy are essential steps towards developing the evidence base to understand the process and impact of policy implementation as well as guide future policy design. The policy development and implementation cycle can be strengthened through effective monitoring and evaluation tools, as well as multi-sectoral engagement. The promotion of physical activity often requires multiple sectors such as public health, sport, urban design etc., and working in diverse settings.
In recent years, researchers and international organizations, such as WHO, have produced useful resources and guidance for monitoring and evaluating the impact of policy on a national level. The fast-growing interest in physical activity policy by national governments, for the purposes of increasing health and wellbeing can provide new opportunities for capturing the impact of HEPA policy and learning from other countries. The lack of available evidence on the process and effectiveness of HEPA policy remains a challenge when developing new policy. This highlights the need for sharing good practice from diverse policy contexts and HEPA settings.
The symposium presentations will discuss policy monitoring and evaluation tools and case studies to investigate the different implementation aspects of national HEPA policy in four EU countries: Germany, Ireland, Slovenia and Wales. The goal of this symposium is to share lessons from the development of instruments used in (physical activity) policy monitoring and evaluation and to present real-world case studies of cross-sector collaboration. The high quality and diversity of the tools and projects presented in the four presentations, makes this symposium beneficial to both novice and experienced researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. The attendees can update their knowledge regarding different methods and instruments used in physical activity policy monitoring and evaluation and learn from engaging multiple sectors in HEPA such as urban design, sport, environment and public health.
Reflections from this symposium will inform and enhance HEPA policy development and implementation in real-time and stimulate future research and practice in this field.
S4-2 Target group specific policy monitoring for physical activity promotion: development of a new tool in Germany
Authors: Messing Sven , Gelius Peter , Abu-Omar Karim , Beck Franziska , Geidl Wolfgang , Grune Eva , Marzi Isabel , Tcymbal Antonina , Reimers Anne , Pfeifer Klaus 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Purpose
While there are several approaches to collect basic information on physical activity (PA) promotion policies, some governments require more in-depth overviews on the situation in their country. In 2021, the German Federal Ministry of Health expressed its interest in collecting detailed data on target group specific PA promotion, as relevant competences in Germany are distributed across a wide range of political levels and sectors. This study describes a new tool developed to reflect German policymakers’ needs for rapid, adaptable, and target group specific monitoring, with a focus on routine national PA promotion practices.

Methods
Based on relevant national and international guidelines, a tool was co-produced by researchers and ministry officials. It includes (1) PA recommendations, (2) national prevalence rates, (3) recommendations for PA promotion, and data on national (4) routine practices, (5) pilot projects and (6) policies. In a pilot study, data were collected for children and adolescents in Germany using desk research, semi-structured interviews and secondary data analysis.

Results
A policy brief and scientific background document were developed. Results showed that 46% of the 4–5-year-olds fulfil WHO recommendations but only 15% of the 11–17-year-olds, and that girls are less active than boys. Currently, no valid data are available on the PA behaviour of 0–3-year-olds in Germany. An overview of routine practices for PA promotion for children and adolescents was compiled, and experts were asked to critically assess their effectiveness, reach and durability. Overall, 339 target group specific projects for PA promotion were found, with 22 classified as examples of good practice. National PA policies for children and adolescents were identified across different sectors and settings.

Conclusions
The new tool provides an added value for PA policy monitoring as it is target group specific, has a unique focus on routine practices in PA promotion, and systematically identifies policy gaps. Starting in 2023, it will serve as a conceptual basis for the development of three additional PA policy briefs tendered by the German government. While developed to specifically suit the German context, it has the potential to be adapted to other countries.
