Beverage bottle caps are usually made from two primary materials: PP and HDPE. In this study, the evaluation criteria were the unnotched impact toughness and the microstructure of PP/HDPE/EVA samples produced by injection molding. The samples were tested according to ASTM D256. PP/HDPE/EVA blends were prepared with various ratios: 47.5/47.5/5, 45/45/10, 42.5/42.5/15, 40/40/20, and 37.5/37.5/25. The results showed that adding EVA to the PP/HDPE blend significantly increased the unnotched impact toughness: from 84.03 [...]

The aim of this work was to determine the photosynthetically active radiation interception (iPAR) during the cover crop (CC) growth cycle, the number and aerial dry matter (ADM) of weeds, and productivity in the following soybean and maize rotation crop. To do this, experiments with CC were performed in 2015-2016 using Hordeum vulgare L., Lolium multiflorum L., Avena sativa L., Bromus unioloides L., Vicia villosa L., Brassica campestris L., Raphanus sativus L., and Avena sativa/Vicia villosa. The iPAR at the vegeta [...]

Contrary to the dominant ultra-cognitive approach in public health whereby only thought processes are supposed to link to action (e.g., physical activity) and health, in this research an embodied (body-mind unison) philosophy was examined by showcasing the importance of holistic and performative movement experiences to health and well-being. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine the interrelated, multiple, and embodied benefits of a community-based aerial sling class (“Flow”) on bod [...]

The goal of this qualitative study was to explore pregnancy capable individuals’ perceptions of having cancer predisposition testing (CPT) and/or expanded carrier screening (ECS) during routine gynecologic care and how these perceptions differ across individuals. A thematic analysis was conducted based on qualitative data from 26 semi-structured interviews with women between 20 and 35 years of age at a single academic health center in the Mountain West of United States. The analysis indicated that participants’ int [...]

Adsorption of toxic gas of CO molecules by using transition metals of X (X = Ti, V, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn)-doped boron nitride nanocage (B5N10_NC) has been studied by computational chemistry. Based on NQR analysis, X-doped on B5N10_NC has shown the lowest fluctuation in electric potential and the highest negative atomic charge, including 0.2331 (copper), 0.3112 (cobalt), 0.5883 (chromium), 0.6853 (zinc), 0.6893 (vanadium) and 0.7499 coulomb (titanium), respectively, have presented the most tendency for being the electron [...]

Farmers experience high levels of stress, with negative sequelae including physical illness, depression, anxiety, and suicide. Despite this, farmers are often reluctant to adopt stress management behaviors. This study collected survey data on motivators and barriers to stress management behavior change among farmers from 162 participants at a regional fruit and vegetable growers’ conference. Survey findings were analyzed using the Health Beliefs Model (HBM) as an organizing framework, calculating the frequency of s [...]

Clinicians caring for patients, especially those with chronic diseases or older adults, need to recognize the value of being able to transition away from aggressive care when appropriate and focus on a more palliative approach. Research has shown that patients want to have goals of care discussions and maintain autonomy at the end of life. These goals of care discussions can be challenging, and clinicians must prioritize and develop this skill in order to provide their patients with what they may need most. Being a [...]

We report the case of a 3-year-old girl from a consanguineous marriage, initially diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency–associated periodontitis following early tooth mobility. Despite supplementation, her condition worsened with the onset of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Further investigations revealed the diagnosis of Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome (PLS), a rare genetic disorder causing severe periodontitis and palmoplantar keratosis. The patient was managed with vitamin D supplementation, dental extractions, and a remov [...]
