Health-related social control in overweight romantic couples: daily associations with physical activity and affect for targets and agents.

Background: Physical activity is essential for health and wellbeing. However, many individuals fail to reach the recommended levels and obesity rates are increasing. Health-related social control refers to strategies employed by 1 person (agent) to influence another person's (target) health behavior.

Applying a new theoretical and methodological approach for behavior-change campaign planning: identifying the critical determinants for reducing littering and evaluating the resulting large-scale campaign.

Introduction: This paper presents a theoretical concept and methodological approach for identifying critical determinants for behavior change interventions. The approach is based on established theories and constructs but represents them in an intervention- instead of questionnaire-oriented form. Six discriminant and targetable dimensions of behavior determinants are proposed: Consideration, feasibility, instrumental evaluation, norms and goals, affective evaluation, and needs and tension states.

The W2024 database of the water isotopologue .

The rovibrational spectrum of the water molecule is the crown jewel of high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. While its significance in numerous scientific and engineering applications and the challenges behind its interpretation have been well known, the extensive experimental analysis performed for this molecule, from the microwave to the ultraviolet, is admirable. To determine empirical energy levels for , this study utilizes an improved version of the MARVEL (Measured Active Rotational-Vibrational Energy Levels) scheme, which now takes into account multiplet constraints and first-principles energy-level splittings.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Reveals Superior Gluteus Medius Muscle Vitality After Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Versus Lateral Surgical Approach.

Objective: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is essential for treating severe osteoarthritis. With various surgical approaches available, there has been a shift toward techniques that offer quicker recovery and fewer complications. In this study, contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used to evaluate the impact of the minimally invasive anterolateral versus conventional lateral approach in THA on the gluteus medius muscle, focusing on muscle vitality and functional outcomes.
