This Letter reports a search for charge-parity (CP) symmetry violating nonstandard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter using the NOvA Experiment, and examines their effects on the determination of the standard oscillation parameters. Data from ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ}) and ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{e}(ν[over ¯]_{e}) oscillation channels are used to measure the effect of the NSI parameters ϵ_{eμ} and ϵ_{eτ}. With 90% CL the magnitudes of the NSI couplings are constrained to be |ϵ_{eμ}|≲0.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored whether decreasing sedentary behavior (SB) in desk workers could lower blood pressure (BP) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), as previous research linked SB to cardiovascular risk.* -
  • Over 3 months, 271 participants were divided into an SB reduction group and a control group, using tools like activity prompts and sit-stand desks, but the intervention didn't yield significant changes in BP or PWV.* -
  • While the intervention group reduced SB and increased active time during work hours, these changes didn't lead to the anticipated health benefits, although some reduction in resting diastolic BP was noted.*

Pregnant individuals rarely achieve moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity recommendations.Purpose The sedentary behavior reduction in pregnancy intervention (SPRING) pilot and feasibility randomized trial aimed to demonstrate feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a lower intensity intervention targeting reduced sedentary behavior and increased standing and steps.Methods First trimester pregnant individuals at risk for high sedentary behavior and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) were randomized 2:1 to a multi-component sedentary behavior reduction intervention or no-contact control.

Mental health is critical for a healthy pregnancy, yet few studies have evaluated its associations with best practice, objectively measured moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) or sedentary behavior (SED). This study evaluated associations of MVPA and SED with mental health across pregnancy. Two cohort studies (total  = 125, mean [standard deviation] 31 [5] years, and 14.
