Postural stability in cyclists by Preece, Mia, Grainger, Karl, Starrs, Paul

“…Conclusion: MTB balance was worse than RC balance, but both cycling groups were found to have better balance scores than the control. These findings have implications for public health, as cycling, an inexpensive and accessible activity already known to offer substantial health benefits, could additionally help maintain postural stability and potentially reduce risk of falls in later life.…”

How counselling psychologists address issues of race with clients from black Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds: a discourse analysis by Madre de Deus de Sousa, Filipe Alexandre, Banbury, Samantha, Phillips, Olaide, Lusher, Joanne

“…The first two discourses alluded to similar repertoires present in the discussions of white counselling psychologist participants, whereas the discourse challenging systemic racism was constructed by BAME counselling psychologists. Findings indicate that becoming attuned and open to discussing race-related difficulties supports favorable outcomes in practice when engaging with BAME individuals. …”

The relationship between the moderate–heavy boundary and critical speed in running by Hunter, Ben, Meyler, Samuel, Maunder, Ed, Cox, Tobias H., Muniz-Pumares, Daniel

“…Conclusions: The study highlights some uncertainty in the fraction of T1 relative to CS, influenced by inconsistent approaches in determining both boundaries. However, our findings serve as a foundation for remote analysis and prescription of exercise intensity, although testing is recommended for more precise applications.…”

Agamben's understanding of time and its implications for Christology by Wright, O

“…But in the case of Agamben’s work, the discussion of temporality finds a new form of textual presentation: Agamben seeks to orchestrate other ‘texts’ (St Paul’s letters, Franciscan Rules of Life, poetry, art) to create an experience in his reader of his understanding of time. …”

Pan-European atmospheric lead pollution, enhanced blood lead levels, and cognitive decline from Roman-era mining and smelting by McConnell, JR, Chellman, N, Plach, A, Wensman, SM, Plunkett, G, Stohl, A, Smith, N, Vinther, BM, Dahl-Jensen, D, Steffensen, JP, Fritzsche, D, Brugger, SO, McDonald, BT, Wilson, AI

“…Here we determined potential health effects of this air pollution using Arctic ice core measurements of Roman-era lead pollution, atmospheric modeling, and modern epidemiology-based relationships between air concentrations, blood lead levels, and cognitive decline. Findings suggest air lead concentrations exceeded 150 ng/m3 near metallurgical emission sources, with average enhancements of &gt;1.0 ng/m3 over Europe during the Pax Romana apogee of the Roman Empire. …”

Factors influencing macrophage phagocytosis and killing of Gram negative bacteria by Kurzyp, K

“…I showed that the effect of the GPR84 agonist 6-OAU was GPR84 specific in murine macrophages; in human macrophages, all three novel agonists tested were GPR84 specific.</p> <p>My findings provide novel tools and insights into factors involved in the interaction of <em>N. gonorrhoeae</em> and <em>E. coli</em> with macrophages, and suggest how macrophage receptors could be exploited to enhance bacterial killing for immune adjuvant therapy of infection.…”

HSV-1 amplicon system for human artificial chromosome formation in human ES/iPS cells and pluripotency induction by Khoja, S

“…The HAC system, therefore, needs further refinements to improve the frequency of HAC formation and reduce the chromosomal integration of HAC constructs in hiPS cells. Overall, these findings provide a simple and safe way of pluripotency induction and genetic modification of pluripotent stem cells using the HSV-1 amplicon system and represent an important advance towards patient specific gene and cell therapy.…”
