The external demands of small-sided games (SSGs) according to the positional role are currently unknown. Using a Catapult Minimax X3 5 Hz GPS, with a 100 Hz tri-axial accelerometer, we compared the accumulated tri-axial player workload per min (PLacc·min) during friendly youth match play (MP) (11 vs. 11) and SSGs (2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, and 4 vs. 4). Significant differences existed between all SSGs and MP for PLacc·min (F = 21.91, < 0.001, η2 = 0.38), and individual X (F = 27.40, < 0.001, η2 = 0.43), Y (F = 14.50, < 0.001, η2 = 0.29) and Z (F = 19.28, < 0.001, η2 = 0.35) axis loads. Across all conditions, mean PLacc·min was greater for midfielders ( = 0.004, CI: 0.68, 4.56) and forwards ( = 0.037, CI: 0.08, 3.97) than central defenders. In all conditions, greater Y axis values existed for wide defenders ( = 0.024, CI: 0.67, 1.38), midfielders ( = 0.006, CI: 0.18, 1.50) and forwards ( = 0.007, CI: 0.17, 0.15) compared to central defenders. Midfielders reported greater Z axis values compared to central defenders ( = 0.002, CI: 0.40, 2.23). We concluded that SSGs elicited greater external loads than MP, and previous studies may have underestimated the demands of SSGs.

Associations Between Movement Behaviors, Cognition, and Academic Achievement in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review.
J Phys Act Health
January 2025
Institute of Education, University of Minho, Minho, Portugal.
Objective: This systematic review summarizes the literature on the associations between movement behaviors (eg, sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity [PA]) and cognition, and academic achievement (AA) in children and adolescents.
Methods: Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) were searched from inception until October 2023.
Results: This systematic review included 24 reports, representing 48,558 youth aged 6-17.
Enhanced Broad-Spectrum Efficacy of an L2-Based mRNA Vaccine Targeting HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, with Cross-Protection Against Multiple Additional High-Risk Types.

Article Synopsis
- Current HPV vaccines protect against specific types but have limited effectiveness against other HPV strains, highlighting the need for a broader vaccine approach.
- This study developed a multivalent L2-based mRNA vaccine targeting prevalent HPV types and evaluated its performance in mice using different delivery methods.
- The results showed that the new vaccine induced strong immune responses and provided cross-protection against both targeted and non-targeted HPV types, suggesting it could significantly reduce HPV-related cancers globally.
The Coordination of Aluminum Sulfate with a Water-Soluble Block Copolymer Containing Carboxyl, Amide, Sulfonic and Anhydride Groups Providing Both Accelerating and Hardening Effects in Cement Setting.

Two water-soluble block copolymers composed of acrylic acid (AA), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), and optionally maleic anhydride (MAH) were synthesized through ammonium persulfate-catalyzed free radical polymerization in water. The introduction of aluminum sulfate (AS) into the resulting mixtures significantly reduced the setting times of the paste and enhanced the mechanical strength of the mortar compared to both the additive-free control and experiments facilitated solely by pure AS. This improvement was primarily attributed to the inhibition of rapid Al hydrolysis, which was achieved through coordination of the synthesized block copolymers, along with the formation of newly identified hydrolytic intermediates.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Metin Sabanci Baltalimani Bone Diseases Training and Research Hospital, İstanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative radiological and functional results of patients treated with arthroscopy-assisted (AA) and percutaneous (P) procedures using endo-button for type III acromioclavicular joint dislocations with a minimum 1-year follow-up. The study hypothesis was that the AA technique would provide more favourable coracoid tunnels.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent surgery between 2017 and 2022.
Enhanced Charge Transfer in Quasi-2D Perovskite by Formamidinium Cation Gradient Incorporation for Efficient and Stable Solar Cells.

Quasi-2D perovskites have attracted much attention in perovskite photovoltaics due to their excellent stability. However, their photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) still lags 3D counterparts, particularly with high short-circuit current (J) loss. The quantum confinement effect is pointed out to be the sole reason, which introduces widened bandgap and poor exciton dissociation, and undermines the light capture and charge transport.
