Diachronic Height Changes in Europe From the Mesolithic to the Present: Exploring Possible Causes and Regional Specificities.

Objectives: A meta-analysis of diachronic changes in average height across Europe from the Mesolithic to the present, based on a broad range of literature sources.

Materials And Methods: The analysis of chronological height variability was based on skeletal remains (from the Mesolithic to the 19th century), from which height was reconstructed, and on data from living individuals measured from the late 19th to the early 21st century. In total, data from 73 skeletal series and 342 groups of modern populations, primarily from Eastern Europe, were analyzed.

Secular trends in height, weight, and body mass index in the context of economic and political transformations in Russia from 1885 to 2021.

Objectives: To study and analyze the impact of socio-economic factors on secular changes in height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) among Moscow's youth over the time interval from the late 19th-early 20th century to the present.

Methods: Anthropometric data, including height, weight, and BMI, were collected through surveys conducted on youths aged 17-20 years in Moscow from the 1880s for males and from the 1920s for females to the present. The dataset includes information on 6434 individuals surveyed from 2000 to 2019, as well as previously published mean values.

Synthesis under Normal Conditions and Morphology and Composition of AlF Nanowires.

AlF has interesting electrophysical properties, due to which the material is promising for applications in supercapacitors, UV coatings with low refractive index, excimer laser mirrors, and photolithography. The formation of AlF-based nano- and micro-wires can bring new functionalities to AlF material. AlF nanowires are used, for example, in functionally modified microprobes for a scanning probe microscope.

[The regional aspects of social economic factors effect on morphophysiological status and somatic health of young women].

The analysis of various social, economic, and demographic factors demonstrates different degrees and directions of their impact on human body systems and human health in general. The examination of residents of several cities of Russia and neighboring countries provides an opportunity to assess strength and direction of relationship between socioeconomic factors and morphofunctional health. The comprehensive morphofunctional examination was applied to 722 young females aged 18.
