Background: Physical activity (PA) is important for the long-term health and weight management of patients who undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). However, the roles of exercise professionals in MBS settings have not been systematically determined.
Objectives: To investigate: (1) who are the professionals implementing PA programming in MBS clinical settings; and (2) what patient-centric tasks do they perform?
Setting: Clinical and academic exercise settings worldwide.
Humidity is a basic and crucial meteorological indicator commonly measured in several forms, including specific humidity, relative humidity, and absolute humidity. These different forms can be inter-derived based on the saturation vapor pressure (SVP). In past decades, dozens of formulae have been developed to calculate the SVP with respect to, and in equilibrium with, liquid water and solid ice surfaces, but many prior studies use a single function for all temperature ranges, without considering the distinction between over the liquid water and ice surfaces.

- Physical activity (PA) is essential for the long-term health and weight management of patients after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), but the exact roles of exercise professionals in these settings are unclear.
- A study identified that exercise physiologists are primarily involved in PA programming in the U.S., while physiotherapists and other professionals participate internationally, focusing on tasks like exercise supervision and fitness testing.
- Seven key areas of responsibility for exercise professionals were defined, emphasizing the need for clear PA guidelines and the integration of exercise into MBS programs as part of multidisciplinary care.
It is well known that microtopography associated with ice wedge polygons drives pronounced, meter-scale spatial gradients in hydrologic and ecological processes on the tundra. However, high-resolution maps of polygonal geomorphology are rarely available, due to the complexity and subtlety of ice wedge polygon relief at landscape scales. Here we present a sub-meter resolution map of >10 discrete ice wedge polygons across a ~1200 km landscape, delineated within a lidar-derived digital elevation model.

Wells and pipelines were overlaid onto base maps of land cover, soil properties, vegetation assemblages, and hydrologic units. Changes to continuity of different ecoregions and supporting landscapes were assessed using the Landscape Fragmentation Tool (a third-party ArcGIS extension) as quantified by land area and continuity of core landscape areas (i.

Subjects And Methods: A cohort of 852 men (18-30 years; mean total body fat percent (TBF%)=18.8±7.
