Matching Learning Tasks With Students' Conative Stages in Badminton: Effects on Situational Interest.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which matching three learning tasks with students' conative stages in badminton can increase their situational interest. : Ninety-seven secondary school students (M = 13.0, SD = 1.

In Vitro Potential of Clary Sage and Coriander Essential Oils as Crop Protection and Post-Harvest Decay Control Products.

Owing to their various application fields and biological properties, natural products and essential oils (EO) in particular are nowadays attracting more attention as alternative methods to control plant pathogens and pests, weeds, and for post-harvest applications. Additionally, to overcome EO stability issues and low persistence of effects, EO encapsulation in -cyclodextrin (-CD) could represent a promising avenue. Thus, in this work, the EO distilled from two aromatic plants ( L.

Application of new emerging techniques in combination with classical methods for the determination of the quality and authenticity of olive oil: a review.

The determination of the quality and authenticity of olive oil becomes more and more required by producers, consumers, and authorities to thwarter falsification. Several analytical techniques including chemical, sensory, chromatography, and so on, are used for the determination of the quality and authenticity of olive oil. Although these methods are considered as the reference ones, they are cumbersome, time-consuming and destructive.

The Relationships Between Skeletal Muscle Index and Bone Variables in a Group of Young Adults.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and bone variables in a group of young adults. Three hundred and thirty-five young adults (129 men and 206 women) whose ages ranged from 18 to 35 yr voluntarily participated in this study. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated.

Does Muscular Power Predict Bone Mineral Density in Young Adults?

The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between maximum power and bone variables in a group of young adults. Two hundred and one young adults (53 men and 148 women) whose ages range from 18 to 35 years voluntarily participated in this study. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index was calculated.

Nutritional status and eating disorders among medical students from the Cluj-Napoca University centre.

Background And Aims: The nutritional disorders are modifiable predisposing factors of the current leading causes of morbidity and premature mortality, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancers. An early recognition of appropriate interventions could decrease the burden of medical costs and increase the healthy life expectancy. The aims of our study were the description of nutritional status, its associated factors, and the detection of eating disorders among Romanian medical students of the "Iuliu Hatieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca.

Influence of ship emissions on NO, SO, O and PM concentrations in a North-Sea harbor in France.

The influence of in-port ship emissions on gases and PM concentrations has been estimated in the port city of Calais, northern France, one of the busiest harbor in Europe, with numerous rotations of ferries or roll-on/roll-off cargo in average per day. NO, SO, O and PM concentrations were continuously measured over a three-month period, as well as real-time particle size distribution. A rural site located at Cape Gris-Nez, 20km from Calais, was considered to deduce intrinsic contribution of ship emissions at the harbor city.

Chemical characterization of fine and ultrafine PM, direct and indirect genotoxicity of PM and their organic extracts on pulmonary cells.

Particulate matter in ambient air constitutes a complex mixture of fine and ultrafine particles composed of various chemical compounds including metals, ions, and organics. A multidisciplinary approach was developed by studying physico-chemical characteristics and mechanisms involved in the toxicity of particulate atmospheric pollution. PM and PM including ultrafine particles were sampled in Dunkerque, a French industrialized seaside city.

Ascorbic acid alters cell fate commitment of human neural progenitors in a WNT/β-catenin/ROS signaling dependent manner.

Background: Improving the neuronal yield from in vitro cultivated neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is an essential challenge in transplantation therapy in neurological disorders. In this regard, Ascorbic acid (AA) is widely used to expand neurogenesis from NPCs in cultures although the mechanisms of its action remain unclear. Neurogenesis from NPCs is regulated by the redox-sensitive WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Ferroptosis, a newly characterized form of cell death in Parkinson's disease that is regulated by PKC.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex illness characterized by progressive dopaminergic neuronal loss. Several mechanisms associated with the iron-induced death of dopaminergic cells have been described. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, regulated cell death process that was recently described in cancer.

The use of animal models to decipher physiological and neurobiological alterations of anorexia nervosa patients.

Extensive studies were performed to decipher the mechanisms regulating feeding due to the worldwide obesity pandemy and its complications. The data obtained might be adapted to another disorder related to alteration of food intake, the restrictive anorexia nervosa. This multifactorial disease with a complex and unknown etiology is considered as an awful eating disorder since the chronic refusal to eat leads to severe, and sometimes, irreversible complications for the whole organism, until death.
