Morpho-Biochemical Characterization and Genetic Analyses of the Traits of Mungbean Genotypes Confined with Yield Attributing Traits and Salinity Stress Toleranceby
Abstract
Low phenotypic and genotypic variability for yield-attributing traits and susceptibility to salinity stress are constraints of mungbean productivity. The objectives of the study are to phenotype a set of exotic mungbean genotypes for yield-attributing traits and salinity tolerance, as well as to conduct genetic analysis of these traits for efficient selection. Three consecutive experiments were conducted to fulfill these objectives. In the first experiment, 26 mungbean genotypes were evaluated for yield traits unde [...] 1149 5585 |
Exercise Training and Cardioprotection in Cardiovascular Disease: A Review of MechanismsAbstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, prompting extensive research into effective methods for treatment and prevention. Among these, exercise training and physical activity are widely recognized as the safest and most effective strategies for improving health. Specifically, exercise training has been explored for its role in cardioprotection, particularly in reducing damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and myocardial infarction (MI). Both high-intensity interval trainin [...] 743 4167 |
Advancing Objective Pain Measurement: Exploring the Potential of Electroencephalography BiomarkersAbstract
Chronic pain involves complex cortical and subcortical changes, suggesting that brain electrical activity may be a potential biomarker for nociceptive processing. Pain leaves its signature in the brain's oscillatory patterns, yet limited studies have explored the neurophysiological alterations associated with chronic pain. This review examines the pain detection method currently used in clinical settings, the potential of neurophysiological features to become brain oscillatory brain biomarkers, and their use in fut [...] 1333 7921 |
Maladjustment in Minority Youth from Community Network Disparities in the COVID-19 Lockdown Environmentby
Abstract
Pandemic lockdown orders resulted in closures to critical community networks. One such infrastructure was community recreation centers/parks. This infrastructure serves a critical role in building psychosocial wellness for youth. Socioeconomic minority youth face baseline disparity in center/park distribution and services. Youth recreation activity declined 50% as result of lockdown orders with corresponding decline in youth mental health status. Despite overall youth activity decline, White and high socioeconomic [...] 558 2969 |
Quantum Diamonds and the Future of Advanced Processors, Review on Benefits and ChallengesAbstract
Nowadays, the development of advanced processors plays a key role in the progress of humanity and the discovery of new sciences, and quantum computers play an essential role in this regard. In this regard, the development of new generation processors is necessary for the development of quantum computers. Quantum diamonds, with their astonishing properties, especially the presence of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in their crystalline structure, are among the most advanced emerging technologies in the field of quantu [...] 3392 11894 |
“At My Age, Its Perhaps the End of My Walking or the End of a Lot of My Life”: A Phenomenological Study of the Lived Experiences of a Serious Fall to Independent Older AdultsAbstract
The purpose of this original research was to describe the lived experience and meaning of a serious fall to independently residing older adults. A qualitative phenomenological approach was utilized with a purposive sample of 19, independent, high-level functioning older adult residents of a Continuing Care Retirement Community to describe their most serious fall and its personal meaning. Traced through multiple data sources, interpretive analysis of the language expressed by older adults were integrated to support [...] 808 3827 |
How Can Architectural Acoustics Reflect Levels of Stress and Relaxation in Indoor Environments? An EEG-Based Experimental StudyAbstract
The acoustic design of indoor environments encompassing spatial configuration, material properties, and sound absorption significantly influences auditory perception and psychological well-being. This study examines the interaction between architectural acoustics, musical stimuli, and neural responses within a controlled therapeutic context, focusing on their effects on stress reduction and relaxation. Electroencephalography (EEG) was utilized to measure brain activity in 24 participants exposed to six musical inst [...] 1153 7661 |
Protective Effects of Teucrium polium Extract Against LPS-Induced Oxidative Stress in BV-2 Microglia: Insights from Wild-Type and Acox1⁻/⁻ Modelsby
Abstract
Microglial activation and the associated oxidative or inflammatory responses play a crucial role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant, cytotoxic, and anti-inflammatory properties of Teucrium polium (TP) ethanolic extract in murine BV-2 microglial cells, including wild-type (Wt) and peroxisomal β-oxidation-deficient Acox1-/- cell lines. The TP extract exhibited high antioxidant activity as assessed via the DPPH test, with an IC50 value of 73.89 μ [...] 613 3403 |
Performance Art as Lifestyle: Art in Action for Health PromotionAbstract
Performance art is both a visual arts practice and kinaesthetic approach to place-based health. The perspective of this commentary is to promote the attributes of performance art to showcase its capacity to extend people into new configurations of cultural engagement with beneficial effects. Performance art is an opportunity to engage both mind and body in actions that transform predictability and encourage wellness within the context of people’s life studios (their everyday lives). Wellness is defined here in rela [...] 572 3512 |
