Authors: Frömel Karel , Mitáš Josef , Groffik Dorota , Kudláček Michal , Háp Pavel 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundThe level of physical activity (PA) in adolescents is highly dependent on their PA preferences. PA preferences among adolescents are dominated by team PA, mostly team sports (TS). The aim of this study is to identify (a) the status and trends in the preferences of TS among Czech and Polish boys and girls in different educational and sports environments, and (b) the impact of the agreement between the preferred and simultaneously pursued TS on the structure of weekly PA and on the meeting of PA recommendations.MethodsThe research was carried out between 2009 and 2022 in the Czech Republic and Poland and included 2,939 boys and 4,427 girls aged 15–19 years. Preferences and participation in TS were identified using a PA preference questionnaire and weekly PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form. Trends in TS preferences were analyzed over 27-year periods. The participants were divided into groups by agreement and disagreement between the preferred and pursued TS, and by agreement and disagreement between the preferences of TS and participation in organized TS.ResultsThroughout the 14-year study period, boys in both countries preferred soccer, whereas girls favored volleyball. Agreement between preferences and participation in TS increased vigorous PA in Czech and Polish boys and girls. The agreement between the preferences for TS and participation in organized TS had the most significant effect on increasing vigorous PA in Czech and Polish boys and girls and on total PA in boys in both countries. Those who preferred and participated in TS were more likely to meet PA recommendations.ConclusionRespecting the status and trends of TS preferences in supporting participation in TS increases adolescents' PA and their achievement of PA recommendations. Increasing active participation in organized TS among boys and girls may support regular PA and help eliminate the negative effects of the pandemic on adolescents' PA.

IntroductionSeveral studies have suggested that physical activity and sedentary behavior are strongly and independently associated with body composition and obesity. However, few studies have investigated whether substituting sedentary time with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity is associated with body composition in older adults, especially among those older than 75 years.MethodsThis study examined the associations between replacing sedentary time with physical activity and obesity indices in a sample of 199 community-dwelling older Taiwanese adults (52.3% women; 80.6 ± 7.0 years). Physical activity and sedentary behavior were measured using the triaxial accelerometer (GT3X+, ActiGraph). Body composition indices were computed through a bioelectrical impedance analysis of body fat percentage and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index. Waist circumference and body mass index were measured by trained personnel. Isotemporal substitution analyses estimated these associations after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional status.ResultsThe study showed that substituting 30 min of sedentary behavior per day with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower body fat percentage (B = −1.408, 95% CI = −2.55, −0.264), body mass index (B = −0.681, 95% CI = −1.300, −0.061), and waist circumference (B = −2.301, 95% CI = −4.062, −0.539) after adjusting for covariates. Substituting 30 min of light physical activity per day with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with lower waist circumference (B = −2.230, 95% CI = −4.173, −0.287) after adjusting for covariates. Stratified analyses indicated that associations were stronger in youngest-old older adults, and in older adults with a normal nutritional status (vs. underweight status).DiscussionThese findings confirm the importance of reducing sedentary behavior and increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity among older adults to improve their physical health, as well as highlighting the importance of taking into account nutritional status and age group.

BackgroundTrauma, especially severe trauma, has become a significant public health problem worldwide. This postulates higher requirements on the core competence of trauma nurses. However, limited scales exist to assess it validly and reliably. This study aims to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Trauma Nurse Core Competency Scale (TNCCS).MethodsThis study included three stages. First, scale development was based on a broad literature review and two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Then, a pre-investigation was conducted with 106 trauma nurses, and a formal scale was formed. Finally, scale evaluation of reliability and validity, based on a cross-sectional study, was tested with 1,107 trauma nurses. Content validity and structure validity were used to evaluate the validity of TNCCS. The Cronbach's α coefficient and the split-half reliability coefficient were used to evaluate the reliability of TNCCS.ResultsThe final scale contained 46 items under three dimensions, which were Knowledge and skills (21 items), Comprehensive literacy (20 items), and Professionalism &amp; physical and mental health (5 items). The Content Validity Index (CVI) of the total scale was 0.980. The goodness-of-fit indices (χ2/df = 3.547, RMSEA = 0.065, GFI = 0.929, CFI = 0.912, NFI = 0.904, IFI = 0.929) signified a good fit for this model. The Construct Reliability (CR) ranged from 0.89 to 0.98, and the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) ranged from 0.62 to 0.69. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.99, ranging from 0.90 to 0.98 for the subscales. The split-half reliability coefficient was 0.84.ConclusionsThe TNCCS demonstrated good validity and reliability, and it could be used to assess the core competency of trauma nurses. The present study has valuable implications for nursing managers to take corresponding measures to train and improve the core competence of trauma nurses.
Self-excited valve using a flat ring tube: Application to robotics
Authors: Nabae Hiroyuki , Kitamura Eigo 
Published: November 2022

Complex and bulky driving systems are among the main issues for soft robots driven by pneumatic actuators. Self-excited oscillation is a promising approach for dealing with this problem: oscillatory actuation is generated from non-oscillatory input. However, small varieties of self-excited pneumatic actuators currently limit their applications. We present a simple, self-excited pneumatic valve that uses a flat ring tube (FRT), a device originally developed as a self-excited pneumatic actuator. First, we explore the driving principle of the self-excited valve and investigate the effect of the flow rate and FRT length on its driving frequency. Then, a locomotive robot containing the valve is demonstrated. The prototype succeeded in walking at 5.2 mm/s when the oscillation frequency of the valve was 1.5 Hz, showing the applicability of the proposed valve to soft robotics.

IntroductionAccess to high-quality seeds remains a key constraint to the intensification of crop production in low-income countries. In this study, we analyzed maize seed production and distribution systems in Benin to identify leverage points for effective seed systems, a prerequisite for improving maize production.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 81 seed producers selected in seven municipalities across the three phytogeographical zones of Benin. Key informant interviews were also conducted with ten public and private stakeholders involved in maize seed systems in Benin.Results and discussionFindings showed that the legal and institutional frameworks governing seed systems in Benin were recently reinforced with a national seed policy, the creation and operationalization of the National Committee of Plant Seeds and the existence of regulations and rules on the production, quality control, certification, trade, and packaging of seeds. In addition, enabling conditions to facilitate the involvement of the private sector have been greatly improved with the revision of modalities for obtaining approval for the production and distribution of seeds in Benin. While the seed sector is improving and both public and private stakeholders are involved in maize seed production and distribution, synergies among stakeholders need to be strengthened. Strengthening business and marketing skills of seed producers through training and promoting the comparative advantages of improved seeds in increasing yield and production among maize farmers could be a promising avenue. Connecting seed producers with maize farmers' organizations coupled with ICT-based agro-advisories could boost the development of the maize seed sector, and ultimately the maize value chain.

BackgroundLivestock farmers' attitudes, practices, and behaviors are major factors in infection prevention and control of animal diseases. Kenya has the fourth largest global camel population, and the industry has grown over the last two decades, transforming beyond the traditional camel-keeping areas to include peri-urban camel trade and value chain growth. The dromedary camel is resilient, and it is a preferred species in the arid and semi-arid areas (ASALs) of Kenya. However, it still faces many health and production challenges; to identify infection drivers and risky behaviors for camel respiratory illnesses and conditions in Kenya, we conducted a knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey.MethodUsing a set of tools (questionnaires, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions), we interviewed camel owners, herders, agro-veterinary outlets, and other relevant value chain stakeholders in Garissa and Isiolo counties (n = 85). Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistics.ResultsMost camel owners/herders are male and most are relatively uneducated (85.5%). The camels were used primarily for milk and meat production, income generation, and transport. Larger herd sizes (&gt;30 camels) and owner/herder's lack of formal education are risk factors for owner-reported respiratory illnesses in camels. Major clinical signs of respiratory conditions were coughing (85.7%), nasal discharge (59.7%), and fever (23.4%). Diseases, lack of feeds, theft, and marketing challenges are the major constraints to camel production in Kenya. Owners-herders use drugs indiscriminately and this may contribute to antimicrobial resistance challenges.ConclusionPractitioners in the camel value chain want more commitment from the government and animal health officials on support services and access to veterinary services. Watering points, grazing areas, and marketing points are the primary areas for congregating camels and have a significant potential for disease spread. Kenya camels have a massive capacity for rural and ASALs' livelihoods transformation but the identified health challenges, and other issues must be addressed. Further studies on the Kenyan camels' respiratory microbial ecology are important to understand microbial risks and reduce the burden of zoonotic infections. Intensification of risk communication and community engagement, and messaging targeted at behavior change interventions should be directed at camel value chain actors.

O objeto de estudo do trabalho é a dinâmica urbanorregional de Floriano (PI) considerando-se os estabelecimentos prestadores de serviços de saúde (EPSS). A investigação considera a referida dinâmica urbanorregional conforme a lógica da valorização do capital no processo de produção do espaço urbano e regional. O objetivo geral é compreender a dinâmica urbanorregional de Floriano, conforme a contribuição dos EPSS. Justificamos o trabalho pelo realce da influência regional do espaço urbano de Floriano relacionada a aspectos históricos e socioeconômicos pertinentes à qualidade dos EPSS. Para a assunção do objetivo da pesquisa, realizamos a metodologia da pesquisa bibliográfica sobre as palavras-chave do trabalho, da realização de pesquisa de dados estatísticos sobre a sociedade e a economia de Floriano, da realização de pesquisa de campo sobre os EPSS na dinâmica urbana de Floriano e da análise e tabulação dos dados primários e secundários coletados. Assim, compreendemos que Floriano passou por uma reestruturação produtiva em sua dinâmica urbana, com perda de destaque do setor primário e amplificação do setor terciário, ganhando ênfase na dinâmica da cidade os EPSS, com a existência, inclusive, de especialidades médicas distintas em âmbito regional. Por isso, o destaque regional de Floriano é amplificado, por localizar serviços de saúde da atenção básica e de média e alta complexidades. A contribuição dos EPSS para a referida dinâmica urbanorregional é mais do que simplesmente a oferta de serviços aos usuários, pois, perpassa todo um circuito econômico que inclui profissionais, sociedade, prestadores, território e Estado. Consideramos, portanto, que os EPSS dinamizam a forma e o conteúdo da urbe, transformando Floriano em importante centro urbano do Nordeste brasileiro no que se refere a prestação de serviços de saúde.
