Article Synopsis
- - Most US children and adolescents fall short of recommended daily physical activity (PA), and schools could play a crucial role in providing more access to physical education (PE) and recreational opportunities throughout the day.
- - A study involving 4,845 K-12 PE teachers across 25 states found that access to PE and PA is generally better in elementary schools compared to middle and high schools, revealing a gap with national recommendations.
- - There's a clear need for states to improve access to PE and recreational activities to align more closely with national guidelines, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders to ensure equitable access for all students.
Antiproton annihilation at rest in thin solid targets and comparison with Monte Carlo simulations.
Eur Phys J A Hadron Nucl
November 2024
The mechanism of antiproton-nucleus annihilation at rest is not fully understood, despite substantial previous experimental and theoretical work. In this study we used slow extracted antiprotons from the ASACUSA apparatus at CERN to measure the charged particle multiplicities and their energy deposits from antiproton annihilations at rest on three different nuclei: carbon, molybdenum and gold. The results are compared with predictions from different models in the simulation tools Geant4 and FLUKA.

- * The motivation for this research lies in the higher densities expected from hydrogen, as well as its accessibility for studying potential short-range interactions.
- * The article reports on advancements in methods that reduce background noise and enhance detection of low-velocity atoms, providing results such as improved beam collimation and successful atom detection for the experiment.
Background: The advent of full-time virtual schooling presents unique challenges and opportunities for the promotion of physical activity (PA) among children and adolescents. Despite the recognized benefits of PA as an essential component for combating non-communicable diseases and ensuring holistic development, there is a notable gap in understanding how to effectively integrate PA within the digital learning environments of full-time virtual schools. Current efforts to promote student PA are targeted for implementation exclusively in contexts characterized by physical school campuses that are bound to their surrounding local communities.

In-depth interviews were conducted with 41 patients with an unsuppressed viral load or a treatment gap, and focus group discussions with physicians, nurses, counselors, and community health workers. Questions addressed treatment history and adherence barriers, then participants evaluated evidence-based adherence interventions for potential scale up.
