description: We consider a private-values buyer-seller problem with multiple objects. Valuations are binary, i.i.d., and such that the problem does not have a trivial solution. We characterize mechanisms that span the Pareto frontier. These have a very simple form: Call the seller "good" if he has a low valuation and "bad" if he has a high valuation. Call the buyer "good" if he has a high valuation and "bad" if he has a low valuation. For each object, if both say "bad" - there is no trade. If both say "good" - they trade. If agent j says "bad" and the other says "good", they trade only if the number of good objects in j's announcement is above a certain threshold (at the threshold itself they trade with probability between 0 and 1). The thresholds depend on the weights given to each agent in the designer's objective function: as she leans more towards one of the agents, his trading threshold weakly decreases, and the rival's weakly increases.

description: A mechanism is said to be renegotiation-proof if it is robust against renegotation both before and after it is played. We ask the following three related questions: (1) what kind of environments or mechanism design problems admit renegotiation-proof implementation? (2) what kind of social choice rules are implementable in a way that is renegotiation-proof? and (3) what kind of mechanisms are renegotiation-proof? We provide characterization results for environments, social choice rules, and mechanisms that facilitate renegotiation-proof implementation in complete information settings, and in incomplete information settings with independent private values. For incomplete information settings with correlated interdependent values we provide sufficient conditions for renegotiation-proof implementation. Importantly, our results imply that some common mechanism design problems do not admit the existence of any renegotiation-proof mechanism.

description: The aim of this paper was to show the relationship between the level of economic growth and the state of food security in selected regions and countries in the world during 2012-2015. The source of the information was secondary data from GUS (Central Statistical Office), the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and Global Food Security Index reports. The analyses showed significant territorial differences between levels of GDP and food security. It was apparent that higher levels of GDP were associated with higher levels of food security, and the biggest improvements in food security occurred in those countries with the fastest rise in GDP per capita. The high correlation between these indicators shows that the basic condition for improvement in world food security is economic growth and growth in real incomes, especially in poorer countries.

description: Background: Insufficient physical activity is one of the risk factors for non-communicable disease and the leading cause of premature death. Awareness campaign has been widely implemented as one of health promotion strategies, yet, little is known whether its cost-effective in preventing the disease. Purpose: This study aims to forecasting the cost-effectiveness of awareness campaigns for the physical activity promotion in preventing NCDs among the Thai population. Methods: This study employed mixed methods to collect the data by conducted in-depth interview with related experts and policy makers. OneHealth Tool software was used during the cost-effectiveness analysis of awareness campaign policy. Results: This study showed that awareness campaigns reduced the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in both sexes. In 2021, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) was -0.10% (males) and -0.09% (females) then decline to -9.11% (males) and -8.99% (females) in 2030. With 100% coverage setting (full scale-up), scenario for 9 years, the effect of awareness campaign in reducing the prevalence of CVDs was projected to 9.01% for males, and 8.90% for females. Conclusions: The result strongly informed that awareness campaign policy contributes to decreasing the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in both sexes.

description: We examine micromagnetic pattern formation in chiral magnets, driven by the competition of Heisenberg exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, easy-plane anisotropy and thermodynamic Landau potentials. Based on equivariant bifurcation theory we prove existence of lattice solutions branching off the zero magnetization state and investigate their stability. We observe in particular the stabilization of quadratic vortex-antivortex lattice configurations and instability of hexagonal skyrmion lattice configurations, and we illustrate our findings by numerical studies.

description: The production of renewable energy has been increasing in Poland in accordance with the EU mandate. Solar energy use, in particular, has been affected by regulations and the associated subsidy mechanism. The specific aim of the tudy was the verification of the influence exerted by renewable energy regulations on the amount of revenues and duration of the period when an investor can expect positive returns on operating a PV power plant. The analysis involved five scenarios and used financial and operational data shared by the existing PV power plant in Jadowniki, Poland. Two scenarios refer to plants operating under the support mechanism applied before July 1, 2016, while three scenarios consider plants operating under the auction system that became the support mechanism for renewable energy producers on July 1, 2016. Scenarios I and II generate a positive NPV and IRR under the assumed conditions including the use of green certificates. For PV power plants operating since July 1, 2016, Scenarios III and IV show that the return is dependent on the auction price and the size of NPV and IRR discourages investment. Scenario V assumes absence of support in the form of green certificates or through auction systems and generates loss. The continuing changes in the regulation of power generation from renewable energy sources, including solar energy, creates uncertainties that are likely to discourage investment in large commercial PV power plants in Poland.
Bloch oscillations in a Bose-Hubbard chain with single-particle losses

description: We theoretically investigate Bloch oscillations in a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard chain, with single-particle losses from the odd lattice sites described by the Lindblad equation. For a single particle the time evolution of the state is completely determined by a non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian. We analyse the spectral properties of this Hamiltonian for an infinite lattice and link features of the spectrum to observable dynamical effects, such as frequency doubling in breathing modes. We further consider the case of many particles in the mean-field limit leading to complex nonlinear Schrödinger dynamics. Analytic expressions are derived for the generalised nonlinear stationary states and the nonlinear Bloch bands. The interplay of nonlinearity and particle losses leads to peculiar features in the nonlinear Bloch bands, such as the vanishing of solutions and the formation of additional exceptional points. The stability of the stationary states is determined via the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation and is shown to strongly influence the mean-field dynamics. Remarkably, even far from the mean-field limit, the stability of the nonlinear Bloch bands appears to affect the quantum dynamics. This is demonstrated numerically for a two-particle system.

description: Background: Physical activity helps to maintain optimal health and wellness. However, ethnically diverse groups have low rates of physical activity when compared with White Caucasian populations. Purpose: To conduct a narrative synthesis to assess the effectiveness of pedometer- and/or accelerometer-based interventions on a) physical activity and b) anthropometric and physiological measurements and biochemical markers among ethnically diverse adults. Methods: Electronic searches of published full text, English language only, randomized controlled trials in adults greater than 18 years of age using the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Scopus from the earliest records to June 2019. Data extraction was guided by PRIMA guidelines and Popay et al.’s methodology of narrative synthesis. Results: 911 adult participants, 555 (60.9%) women and 356 (39.1%) men were included. Participants were Southeast and East Asian (n=504, 55.3%), Arab and Middle Eastern (n=222, 24.4%), African and Caribbean (n=92, 10.1%), South Asian (n=40, 4.4%), and White Caucasian (n=53, 5.8%). Pedometer and/or accelerometer-based interventions appeared to be effective in increasing physical activity. There was poor quality evidence to assess the effects of these interventions on anthropometric risk (e.g., waist circumference, BMI), physiological measurements (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate), and biochemical markers (e.g., lipids, HbA1c). Conclusions: Due to poor quality evidence no firm conclusions can be made. There may be some benefit in using pedometer- and/or accelerometer-based interventions to increase physical activity among ethnically diverse populations, but more research is needed.

description: In equilibrium, disorder conspires with topological defects to redefine the ordered states of matter in systems as diverse as crystals, superconductors and liquid crystals. Far from equilibrium, however, the consequences of quenched disorder on active condensed matter remain virtually uncharted. Here, we reveal a state of strongly disordered active matter with no counterparts in equilibrium: a dynamical vortex glass. Combining high-content microfluidic experiments and theory, we show how colloidal flocks collectively cruise through disorder without relaxing the topological singularities of their flows. The resulting state is highly dynamical but the flow patterns, shaped by a finite density of frozen vortices, are stationary and exponentially degenerated. Quenched isotropic disorder acts as a random gauge field turning active liquids into dynamical vortex glasses. We argue that this robust mechanism should shape the collective dynamics of a broad class of disordered active matter, from synthetic active nematics to collections of living cells exploring heterogeneous media.

Generalized scaling relations for unidirectionally coupled nonequilibrium systems

description: Unidirectionally coupled systems which exhibit phase transitions into an absorbing state are investigated at the multicritical point. We find that for initial conditions with isolated particles, each hierarchy level exhibits an inhomogeneous active region, coupled and uncoupled respectively. The particle number of each level increases algebraically in time as $N(t) \sim t^η$ with different exponents $η$ in each domain. This inhomogeneity is a quite general feature of unidirectionally coupled systems and leads to two hyperscaling relations between dynamic and static critical exponents. Using the contact process and the branching-annihilating random walk with two offsprings, which belong to the DP and PC classes respectively, we numerically confirm the scaling relations.

description: We discuss the first string theory examples of three generation non-supersymmetric SU(5) and {\em flipped} SU(5) GUTS, which break to the Standard model at low energy, without extra matter and/or gauge group factors. Our GUT examples are based on IIA $Z_3$ orientifolds with D6-branes intersecting at non-trivial angles. These theories necessarily satisfy RR tadpoles and are free of NSNS tadpoles as the complex structure moduli are frozen (even though a dilaton tadpole remains) to discrete values. We identify appropriately the bifundamental Higgses responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking. In this way, the neutrino see-saw mechanism get nicely realized in these constructions. Moreover, as baryon number is not a gauged symmetry gauge mediated dimension six operators do contribute to proton decay; however proton lifetime may be safely enhanced by appropriately choosing a high GUT scale. An accompanying natural doublet-triplet splitting guarantees the suppression of scalar mediated proton decay modes and the stability of triplet scalar masses against higher dimensional non-renormalizable operators.

description: We collect multi-wavelength measurements of the nuclear emission of 20 low luminosity FR I radio-galaxies to test the viability of the FR I - BL Lac unifying model. Although poorly sampled, the Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) of FR Is are consistent with the double peaked shape characteristic of BL Lacs. Furthermore while the distribution of the FR Is in the broad-band spectral index planes shows essentially no overlap with the regions where HBL and LBL are located, this can be simply due to the effects of relativistic beaming. More quantitatively, deriving the beaming Doppler factor of a given radio-galaxy from its X-ray luminosity ratio with respect to BL Lacs with similar extended radio luminosity, we find that i) the luminosity in all bands, ii) the value of the spectral indices, iii) the slope of the X-ray spectrum, iv) the overall SED shape, may be all simultaneously reproduced. However, the corresponding jet bulk Lorentz factors are significantly smaller than those derived for BL Lacs from other observational and theoretical considerations. This suggests to consider a simple variant of the unification scheme that allows for the presence of a velocity structure in the jet.

description: We report the discovery of a Lyman alpha emitting galaxy at z = 6.518. The single line was found in the 43 square arcmin VLT/FORS field by slitless spectroscopy limited to the atmospheric window at 9100 A (sampling Lya at 6.4 < z < 6.6). Its counterpart is undetected in a deep I band image and the line has an asymmetric appearance in a deeper follow-up spectrum. There are no plausible line identifications except for Lya with a flux of 1.9x10^-17 erg/s/cm2 and rest frame equivalent width > 80 A. The lower limit to the star formation rate density at z = 6.5 derived from our complete sample is 5x10^-4 M_sol/year/Mpc^3, consistent with measurements in the Subaru Deep Field and Hubble Ultra Deep Field but approximately ten times higher than in the Large Area Lyman Alpha survey. This Lya emitter is among the very small sample of highest redshift galaxies known.

description: Background: With the emergent emphasis on the 24-hour movement paradigm, the importance of engaging in adequate amounts of sleep and physical activity (PA) is becoming increasingly apparent. Purpose: The present study used cross-sectional data from the Mental Health Million Project to examine how sleep and PA interact to influence mental health throughout adulthood. Methods: The sample included 46,202 participants (15,579 young adults, 10,658 middle-aged adults, 19,965 older adults; 27,299 females, 18,179 males, 724 other) from 137 countries that completed the 47-item Mental Health Quotient. Participants also reported how frequently they get a good night’s sleep and exercise; and were subsequently classified into one of 20 groups based on possible behavioural combinations. A multi-level regression analysis was conducted with participants nested within country. The group with the healthiest combination of sleep and exercise behaviour was set as the referent for comparison. Results: After adjusting for covariates, findings revealed mental wellbeing was greatest among the group of participants who reported getting quality sleep and exercising everyday, while those who rarely had a good night’s sleep and never exercise reported the worst scores. On average, groups characterized by higher levels of exercise reported greater mental wellbeing scores, but within each level of exercise engagement, there was a negative gradient association for mental wellbeing as frequency of quality sleep decreased. Conclusions: Overall, these findings suggest that sleep and physical activity behaviour need to be considered in tandem as the interactive effects amongst these behaviours appear to impact mental health in a potentially dose-response manner.

description: Four hundred fifty straight run day-old C & M classique broiler chicks were used in a 35 day trial to observe feed intake, efficacy and profitability in rearing broiler fed diet supplemented with oleic acid. Birds were fed three types of diet (diet containing oleic acid (T2), diet containing refined soybean oil (T3) and diet without oleic acid and refined soybean oil (Ti). All birds had free access to ad-libitum feeding. Results showed that, weekly average live weight gain differed significantly (P<0.05) and the mean values were 289.9, 293.4 and 273.8 g / week for T2, T3 and Ti treatment groups respectively. Similarly, total feed intake differed (P<0.05) and the mean values were 2.6, 2.7 & 3.0 kg / broiler for T2, T3 and Ti treatment groups, respectively. Like feed intake, feed conversion efficiency differed (P<0.05) and the mean values were 1.7, 1.8 and 2.0 for T2, T1 and T1 treatment groups, respectively. Net profit of Tk / kg live weight differed (P<0.05) and the mean values were 12.4, 10.7 & 9.3 for T2, T3 and Ti treatment groups, respectively. Maximum net profit was obtained from birds fed diet containing oleic (T2) acid. It may be inferred that refined soybean oil may be replaced by oleic acid in broiler ration.

'Do this in remembrance of me': Eucharistic theology, mysticism, and empathy in Spanish Golden Age polychrome sculpture
Creators: name: Willson, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Early art historians denigrated Spanish Golden Age polychrome sculpture as utilitarian (i.e., serving a solely ecclesiastical function), stylistically stagnant, and without a complex philosophical base.- '"Do This in Remembrance of Me': Eucharistic Theology, Mysticism, and Empathy in Spanish Golden Age Polychrome Sculpture" builds upon recent advancements in scholarship to argue for a more complex understanding of these eerily naturalistic sculptures and how they may have been interpreted vis-a-vis empathetic worship. Early modem Spanish society was intricately tied to the country's unique religiosity. Taking into consideration possible influences such as the Spanish Inquisition, Tridentine decrees on sacred art and the Eucharist, popular sacramental confraternities, and contemporary Spanish mysticism, an argument for a more profound interpretation and appreciation of Spanish polychrome sculpture is presented. Ultimately, the findings in "'Do This in Remembrance of Me'" will help to further the study of these magnificent works, and bolster the sculptures' scant historiography.

description: Background: Understanding how exercise is related to well-being can inform health promotion practices for student-athletes. Purpose: To study the relationship between different exercise variables (frequency, intensity, and duration) and well-being (fatigue, mood, sleep quality, muscle soreness, and stress). Methods: A total of 237 student-athletes completed a 26-item survey. Well-being was assessed using a 5-question Likert questionnaire rating fatigue from “very fresh”(5) to “always tired”(1), sleep quality as “very restful”(5) to “insomnia”(1), general muscle soreness as “feeling great”(5) to “very sore”(1), stress levels as “very relaxed”(5) to “highly stressed”(1), and mood as “very positive mood”(5) to “highly annoyed/irritable/down”(1). Exercise variables were assessed using average frequency (ranging 0-7 days), duration (open-ended response), and intensity (utilizing the category ratio ratings of perceived exertion scale). Data was collected from May 29th-July 5th, 2020. A Spearman Correlation analysis was conducted for all scale and ordinal data. Results: Frequency of exercise (sessions per week) had a significant positive correlation with improved feelings of fatigue, sleep quality, and mood. Increased duration of exercise sessions was positively correlated with improved feelings of fatigue, stress, and mood. Increased session intensity was significantly correlated with improved general soreness, and mood. The interaction between domains of well-being indicated a significant relationship between fatigue and sleep quality, stress, and mood, with moderate effect sizes. Improved sleep quality was correlated with improved stress and mood with moderate effect sizes. Conclusions: The findings that exercise variables had a significant relationship to well-being domains can be used to design interventions for student-athletes

description: A feeding trial was conducted for a period of 5 weeks with 264 day-old Starbro broiler chicks and were allocated into six dietary treatments containing 21.5% CP and 2930 Kcal ME/kg DM. At 5 weeks of age, 2 broilers from each block (8 from each treatment) was randomly selected considering average body weight and slaughtered to analyze the meat yield traits. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in feed and water intake, initial and final weight, total gain and gain/day, feed conversion efficiency and mortality of broilers among the dietary treatments. Liveweight at slaughter and dressing percent did not differ significantly (p>0.05) among the dietary treatments but dressing percent (p<0.05), head weight (p<0.05), blood weight (p<0.001), thigh+drumstick meat (p<0.001) and back bone +breast bone (p<0.001) were higher in triticale based diet. Triticale based diet had no effect on production performances, but it affected on the length of neck (p<0.001), thigh (p<0.05) and drumstick (p<0.05). However, triticale-based diet did not affect (p>0.05) the length of shank and wing of broiler among the dietary treatments. There was clear advantage of using triticale over wheat because no significant difference (p>0.05) among the dietary treatments were observed.

description: Background: Low levels of health-related fitness is linked to chronic disease. Physical activity is a primary means of improving health-related fitness. While there is evidence suggesting that the built environment can support physical activity, it remains unclear if the built environment is also associated with health-related fitness. Purpose: To systematically review studies that have estimated associations between neighbourhood built environment and components of health-related fitness (i.e., muscular, cardiorespiratory, motor, and morphological) in adults. Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, eight databases were searched (up to August 2020). Study quality was assessed. Results: Twenty-five eligible articles underwent final synthesis and quality assessment. Most studies (23/25) included objective measures of health-related fitness. All four health-related fitness components were represented (muscular = 8/25, cardiorespiratory = 11/25, motor = 2/25, and morphological = 16/25). Overall, built environments such as higher street connectivity, higher land use mix, and availability of sidewalks were associated with health-related fitness. Notably, individual studies found that associations between the built environment and health-related fitness remained significant after controlling for physical activity. Despite most studies being high quality, all but six were cross-sectional. Conclusions: The neighbourhood built environment may support health-related fitness, independent of physical activity. Although stronger study designs are needed to establish causality, policymakers, practitioners, and urban planners may need to consider how neighbourhood built characteristics can support health via health-related fitness. Funding: This systematic review is supported by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Foundations Scheme Grant [FDN-154331].

description: A feeding trial was conducted for a period of 5 weeks with 160 day-old Starbro broiler chicks with a Randomized Block Design with 4 dietary treatments. There were 40 chicks per treatment. Each treatment was replicated in 4 blocks with 10 chicks in each block. The dietary treatments were normal maize plus lysine and methionine (control diet), normal maize without lysine and methionine, Pacific 11 maize without lysine and methionine and Quality Protein Maize (QPM) without lysine and methionine. All other ingredients used in the diet were similar and all diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous that contained around 2975 Kcal ME/kg DM and 21.5% crude protein. At 5 weeks of age, 2 broilers from each block (8 from each treatment) was randomly selected considering average body weight and slaughtered to analyze the meat yield traits. The QPM contained only slightly higher protein and lysine than Pacific 11. Other amino acid profiles of QPM were similar to that of Pacific 11. There were no differences (p>0.05) in feed intake, water intake, total gain, feed conversion efficiency and mortality of broilers among the dietary treatments. Liveweight at slaughter (p<0.01), dressing percent (p<0.05) and breast meat (p<0.001) were highest, but heart (p<0.05) and digestive tract weight (p<0.05) were lowest in diet fed maize plus lysine and methionine. However, liveweight at slaughter and dressing percent did not differ (p>0.05) among the treatments without lysine and methionine. Morphological characteristics such as relationship between length of drumstick and carcass characteristics was promising. Morphological characteristics played a vital role in selecting broiler strains for productive purposes and might have great impact using a scale only.

description: The experiment was carried out using polyethylene glycol on tannin content, organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy content in freeze dried and shade dried Morus indica (Mulberry) and Etythrina orientalis (Mander) leaves. Total phenol, total tannin, condensed tannin and hydrolysable tannin content did not differ significantly (P>0.05) between freeze dried and shade dried Morus indica and Erythrina orientalis and the mean values were 2.4, 1.3, 0.5, 0.6 vs 1.5, 0.8, 0.2, 0.7 and 2.4, 1.2, 0.5, 0.8 vs 1.8, 0.9, 0.2, 0.7 for Morus indica and Erythrina orientalis, respectively. In contrast, in vitro gas production differed significantly (P<0.05) between freeze and shade dried and the mean values were 37.4, 44.4 vs 41.7, 46.9 and 21.4, 27.2 vs 25.6, 29.1 for Morus indica and Erythrina orientalis, respectively. Similarly, organic matter digestibility in vitro differed significantly (P<0.05) between freeze dried and shade dried and the mean values were 56.6, 63.7 vs 60.5, 64.8 and 45.3, 50.9 vs 49.5, 52.5 for Morus indica and Erythrina orientalis, respectively. However, metabolizable energy content (MJ/kgDM) was similar (P>0.05) both in freeze dried and shade dried samples of Morus indica and Etythrina orientalis.

description: Myositis was produced experimentally by injecting 2 ml turpine oil in the gluteal muscles of 10 sheep. From these 10 sheep, 5 sheep (group A) were treated with diclofenac sodium @1m1/kg body weight intra muscularly for 3 consecutive days after the development of myositis. Rest 5 sheep were kept as control (group B). Moderate (++) lameness and local swelling was recorded in all sheep of group A. In treated animals of group A, lameness reduced to mild level (+) in 80% cases and became nil in 100% cases from day 2 and day 3 post treatment respectively. Control animals were recovered (100%) on 6 days post myositis. Total leukocyte count (TLC) increased significantly (p<0.05) in group A in myositic condition than in premyositis. In the treated animals of group A total leukocyte count came down (p<0.05) to premyositic level after 3 days post treatment. But in control animals of group B did not decreases significantly (p<0.05). Similar result was found in case of neutrophil count. Histopathological study showed swollen, edematous, hemorrhagic muscle fibers with neutrophilic infiltration and fibrosis replacing the dead tissue revealed in the control animals. In the treated animals of group A almost similar changes were present but more fibrosis was noted.
Thermal antenna behavior for thin films structures

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that under proper conditions thin films structures behave like thermal sources that are able to emit radiation in well defined directions over a broad spectral band for both polarization states of light. This effect results from the quantization of modes inside the structure as in a Fabry-Perot resonator. A theoretical demonstration of this effect is given using the matrix transfer method. This result is similar to the best efficient reported results with gratings but using a completely different physical principle [J. J. Greffet et al., Nature 416, 61 (2002)].

description: Background: Physical activity interventions are potential strategies to enhance psychosocial health of children. Interventions are performed in diverse settings (e.g., school, home, community), but little research has addressed whether and how the efficacy of these programs varies by setting type. Purpose: The aim of the current review is to summarize the psychosocial effects of physical activity programs for preschoolers, children, and adolescents at various intervention settings and identify settings that are potentially underutilized. Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify physical activity interventions aimed at improving psychosocial health of preschoolers, children, and adolescents. Studies with experimental designs were only included. The PRISMA guidelines were followed in the conduct and reporting of this review. The risk of bias was assessed by the Evidence-Project tool. Results: Thirty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. Nearly three-fourths of interventions were performed in school-based settings. Although fewer studies used community- and home-based interventions, these were similarly effective in improving psychosocial health as the school-based interventions. Most commonly assessed outcomes in the included studies were self-esteem, physical self-concept, health-related quality of life, anxiety, and depression. Self-esteem and physical self-concept improved the most in response to the interventions at all settings. Conclusions: Community- and home-based intervention settings were underutilized despite being similarly effective as school-based settings. A large proportion of time is spent out of school during weekends and summer. Community- and home-based physical activity programs may be pragmatic strategies to deliver improvements in psychosocial health to children and adolescents. Funding: None

description: Background: Jalisco has developed strategies to encourage active transport to combat physical inactivity. One of these strategies has been the construction of cycleways. Within the university community, interventions have emerged such as: “Pedaleando por tu Salud” in Union of Tula, “PROA” at Ing. Matute Remus High School and “Al CUCiénega en bici” in Ocotlán, to name a few. Purpose: Promote the use of the bicycle as an active transport and at the same time as realization of physical activity for health in the community of the University of Guadalajara and the State of Jalisco. Methods: This was an intervention study promoting physical activity which consisted on the realization of bicycle rides in 10 towns of the state of Jalisco along with health fairs where activities were carried out to promote healthy lifestyles. Results: Approximately 7500 people from 10 towns from 4 different regions of the state of Jalisco participated, which belonged to the basic education system, high school education system, college education system and community in general of the state of Jalisco. Conclusions: This cycling intervention study demonstrated that massive events of this nature are attractive for the realization of physical activity in the student community and can probably encourage the use of bicycles as an active transport. Funds: Self-generated resources by the Institute of Sciences Applied to Physical Activity and logistical and budgetary support of the coordination of Physical Culture of the University of Guadalajara.
