Abstract:
This study analyzed the correlation between elementary school students’ body composition, physical activity, physical fitness, movement ability, and academic achievement. Movements ranged from simple actions to complex movements requiring executive functioning. In total, 110 fourth graders (60 boys, 50 girls) participated in this experiment. Body composition (BMI, % of body fat), physical activity (pedometer), physical fitness (muscular strength, endurance, power, flexibility, and VO2max), and complex movement abilities (Illinois Agility test, soda pop hand test, and soda pop foot test) were measured. Regression modeling of body composition and fitness/activity variables was able to account for 30.5% of the variation of total academic scores in females, but only 4.3% in males. No individual tests were reliably correlated with multiple academic outcomes in males. However, hand and foot soda pop times, as well as Illinois Agility scores, were repeatedly correlated with academic outcomes in females, each correlating with 4 of the 6 academic scores. Body composition and physical activity level did not correlate with academic achievement, and simple physical fitness showed a low correlation with academic achievement in both boys and girls. On the other hand, complex, cognitively demanding movements such as the Illinois Agility, soda pop hand, and soda pop foot tests had consistent correlations with academic achievement in girls, but not in boys.

A corporation was formed in the United States fourteen years ago that does not appear on the New York Stock Exchange or any other. It is alive and well and prospering at Northwood Junior High School in Highland Park, Illinois. The “12.7 cm Hot Dog Corporation” is owned and operated by a group of about forty-five eighth graders, who make all the executive decisions concerning the sale of hot dogs, chips, soda pop, and popcorn at home boys' and girls' basketball games and wrestling meets. I started the corporation to bring “real life” into the classroom and encourage students to use their mathematics skills to make the decisions necessary to run a successful business.

Abstract:
Positive beverage parenting practices may reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption by children and prevent potential health problems. An online newsletter/text message intervention was conducted with parents of children 6 to 12 years to improve beverage parenting practices. Newsletters and text messages were sent weekly over a 4-week period providing gain-framed messages encouraging parenting practices including role modeling and controlling home beverage availability. Pre–post surveys included measures of home availability of beverages and parent beverage intake as an indication of parenting practices. Parents were primarily White, well-educated, and female. About one third lived in rural areas. Results from 100 parents with pre–post data from baseline to 4 weeks showed decreased reported home availability of regular soda pop (p = .008), decreased parent intake of sweetened beverages (p = .004), and decreased parent-reported child intake of regular soft drinks (p = .001), and sweetened juice drink beverages (p < .0001). Most parents (82%) reported reading all three newsletters and indicated that the information provided was relevant (93%). A brief newsletter/text message intervention may be a positive and convenient approach to promote positive beverage parenting practices.

Abstract:
A simple, unidirectional schematic depicts the hypothesized pathways by which sugar-sweetened beverage consumption may lead to the development of chronic cardiovascular/cerebrovascular and metabolic diseases, chronic kidney disease, cancer, and gout. Sugar containing dietary foods could be replaced by the use of sugar substitutes available on the market today, both noncaloric and caloric, which have a low or even no cariogenic potential, sugar substitution is an important part of caries prevention and improving the overall health of an individual. The most common sugar substitutes used in Europe today are the caloric sweeteners xylitol, sorbitol, lycasin (hydrogenated starch hydrolysate), maltitol and mannitol and the non-caloric sweeteners accesultame-K, aspartame, cyclamate, and saccharin. They are currently replacing sugar in a wide range of products, such as sweeteners for coffee and tea, confectionery and chewing gum, medicines and soda pop. The need for a safe, palatable, non-nutritive, sweetening agent has prompted new approaches to the development of synthetic sweeteners. One interesting approach is based on the concept called “anatomical compartmentalization,” whereby the molecular weight of a sweet compound is increased to the point where no intestinal absorption occurs, thus eliminating systemic effects. Initial attempts at linking low molecular weight sweeteners to macromolecules have generally yielded products with unsatisfactory taste.

Abstract:
Purpose: The interest in, intent to, and impact of consuming foods fortified with vitamins and minerals, particularly foods of poor nutritional quality, were evaluated among Canadians. Methods: A Canada-wide, online survey of 1200 adults and teens was used to assess the interest in, intent to, and impact of consuming or serving foods fortified under two fortification scenarios (10% and 20% of the Recommended Daily Value). Categories of foods tested were cereal bars, energy bars, flavoured bottled water, frozen desserts, fruit drinks, fruit juice, salty snacks, soda pop, sports drinks, sweet baked goods, and sweets. Results: The majority of adults and teens were interested in consuming fortified foods and indicated that they would increase their current consumption of specific foods if they became fortified. These foods included soft drinks, salty snacks, fruit drinks, and fruit juice. A large proportion of adults also indicated that they would serve more of these fortified foods to their children. Conclusions: Our findings reveal that fortifying foods, particularly those of poor nutritional quality, could lead to increased consumption of these foods among children, teens, and adults. Potentially, this could have a negative impact on eating habits and, in turn, could exacerbate the current nutrition-related health issues that Canadians face.

Objectives This study aimed to examine the prevalence of weight misperception and to explore the association of weight perception with physical activity and dietary intake. Methods A population-based, nationally representative cross-sectional survey was conducted of 920 Thai adolescents aged 13 to 24 years. Respondents were selected using stratified multistage sampling. Respondents who agreed to participate were asked to complete the Youth Risk Behavior Questionnaire. Results Females were more likely than males to misperceive themselves as overweight (21.8% vs. 11.7%), whereas males were more likely than females to misperceive themselves as underweight (12.3% vs. 3.4%). Males were more likely than females to report a high intake of vegetables (45.7% vs. 38.0%), milk (39.1% vs. 38.0%), 100% fruit juice (20.9% vs. 17.7%) and soda or pop (38.5% vs. 20.6%). Males were also more likely than females to report vigorous physical activity of more than 60 minutes per day (38.1% vs. 21.3%) and vigorous exercise to strengthen or tone muscles (37.3% vs. 13.2%). Conclusions Gender differences in dietary intake and physical activity were identified. However, there were no significant differences in dietary intake and physical activity between adolescents who correctly perceived themselves as overweight and those who misperceived themselves as overweight.

Abstract:
Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients lead a sedentary lifestyle, being unable or unwilling to exercise conventionally, due to physical and mental limitations. The aim of this study was to assess the acute effects of a single session of whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) on the physical performances and serum levels of the neurotrophic factors in PD patients. Ten subjects (aged 72.60 ± 6.82) underwent 20 min of physical activity with superimposed WB-EMS and, after four weeks, the same protocol with no WB-EMS. WB-EMS was conducted with intermittent stimulation, with 4 s WB-EMS/4 s rest, at 85 Hz, 350 μs. A physical fitness assessment and blood samples collection, to evaluate neurotrophic factors’ levels (BDNF, FGF21, proNGF, mNGF), were collected before and after the intervention. The RM-ANOVA showed significant improvements in sit-to-stand (p < 0.01), arm curl (p < 0.01), handgrip (p < 0.01) and soda pop test (p < 0.01) after the WB-EMS intervention. Higher proNFG serum levels were observed in the WB-EMS condition compared to the no WB-EMS after 60 min post-intervention (p = 0.0163). The effect of WB-EMS confirmed the electrostimulation ability to modulate the proNGF quantity. The positive impact of the WB-EMS protocol on physical functioning, and eye–hand coordination, makes this intervention a promising strategy to improve motor and non-motor symptoms in PD patients.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence of fast-food purchases for family meals and the associations with sociodemographic variables, dietary intake, home food environment, and weight status in adolescents and their parents.DesignThis study is a cross-sectional evaluation of parent interviews and adolescent surveys from Project EAT (Eating Among Teens).SubjectsSubjects included 902 middle-school and high-school adolescents (53% female, 47% male) and their parents (89% female, 11% male). The adolescent population was ethnically diverse: 29% white, 24% black, 21% Asian American, 14% Hispanic and 12% other.ResultsResults showed that parents who reported purchasing fast food for family meals at least 3 times per week were significantly more likely than parents who reported purchasing fewer fast-food family meals to report the availability of soda pop and chips in the home. Adolescents in homes with fewer than 3 fast-food family meals per week were significantly more likely than adolescents in homes with more fast-food family meals to report having vegetables and milk served with meals at home. Fast-food purchases for family meals were positively associated with the intake of fast foods and salty snack foods for both parents and adolescents; and weight status among parents. Fast-food purchases for family meals were negatively associated with parental vegetable intake.ConclusionsFast-food purchases may be helpful for busy families, but families need to be educated on the effects of fast food for family meals and how to choose healthier, convenient family meals.

AbstractObjectiveThe current study examines the impact of a nutrition rating system on consumers’ food purchases in supermarkets.DesignAggregate sales data for 102 categories of food (over 60 000 brands) on a weekly basis for 2005–2007 from a supermarket chain of over 150 stores are analysed. Change in weekly sales of nutritious and less nutritious foods, after the introduction of a nutrition rating system on store shelves, is calculated, controlling for seasonality and time trends in sales.SettingOne hundred and sixty-eight supermarket stores in the north-east USA, from January 2005 to December 2007.SubjectsConsumers purchasing goods at the supermarket chain during the study period.ResultsAfter the introduction of the nutrition ratings, overall weekly food sales declined by an average of 3637 units per category (95 % CI –5961, –1313;P<0·01). Sales of less nutritious foods fell by 8·31 % (95 % CI –13·50, –2·80 %;P=0·004), while sales of nutritious foods did not change significantly (P=0·21); as a result, the percentage of food purchases rated as nutritious rose by 1·39 % (95 % CI 0·58, 2·20 %;P<0·01). The decrease in sales of less nutritious foods was greatest in the categories of canned meat and fish, soda pop, bakery and canned vegetables.ConclusionsThe introduction of the nutrition ratings led shoppers to buy a more nutritious mix of products. Interestingly, it did so by reducing purchases of less nutritious foods rather than by increasing purchases of nutritious foods. In evaluating nutrition information systems, researchers should focus on the entire market basket, not just sales of nutritious foods.

AbstractObjectiveThe study aimed to (i) segment parents of early adolescents into subgroups according to their Ca-rich-food (CRF) practices and perceptions regarding early adolescent CRF intake and (ii) determine whether Ca intake of parents and early adolescents differed by subgroup.DesignA cross-sectional convenience sample of 509 parents and their early adolescent children completed a questionnaire in 2006–2007 to assess parent CRF practices and perceptions and to estimate parent and child Ca intakes.SettingSelf-administered questionnaires were completed in community settings or homes across nine US states.SubjectsParents self-reporting as Asian, Hispanic or non-Hispanic White with a child aged 10–13 years were recruited through youth or parent events.ResultsThree parent CRF practice/perception segments were identified, including ‘Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers’ (49 %), ‘Water Regulars’ (30 %) and ‘Sweet-Drink-Permissive Parents’ (23 %). Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers were somewhat older and more likely to be non-Hispanic White than other groups. Ca intakes from all food sources, milk/dairy foods and milk only, and milk intakes, were higher among early adolescent children of Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers compared with early adolescents of parents in other segments. Soda pop intakes were highest for early adolescents with parents in the Water Regulars group than other groups. Dedicated-Milk Providers/Drinkers scored higher on culture/tradition, health benefits and ease of use/convenience subscales and lower on a dairy/milk intolerance subscale and were more likely to report eating family dinners daily than parents in the other groups.ConclusionsParent education programmes should address CRF practices/perceptions tailored to parent group to improve Ca intake of early adolescent children.

Abstract:
Objective. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Wuqinxi after one session and 12-week intervention on hand dexterity in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods. Forty-six elderly participants with mild-to-moderate PD were randomly assigned to the groups trained with Wuqinxi (n = 23) or stretching (n = 23). All participants practiced 60 min session of either of these exercises, 2 sessions a week for 12 weeks in standing position. The score of Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) and time for Soda Pop Test (SPT) were performed to assess hand dexterity and motor function along assessing the 39 items of Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire before and after 12-week interventions. In addition, the PPT scores were compared before vs. after one session of either of these two exercise modes. Results. Single session with either Wuqinxi or stretching exercise tended to improve PPT scores in PD patients. Furthermore, the improved SPT time was significant ( P < 0.01 ) following 12-week training interventions with Wuqinxi (−1.32 ± 0.38 sec) or stretching (−0.89 ± 0.16 sec), which showed no group difference ( P = 0.734 ). However, only the participants in Wuqinxi group significantly improved the PPT scores of the dominant hand (+0.61 ± 1.34), both hand (+1.83 ± 3.13) and assemble (+2.04 ± 3.44) performance after 12-week training intervention. In parallel with improved hand dexterity and motor function, 12-week Wuqinxi training also significantly improved the patient’s emotional wellbeing. Conclusion. The Wuqinxi intervention could be safely and effectively applied to improve hand dexterity following single-session exercise or 12-week training, which were accompanied by improved quality of life in patients with mild-to-moderate PD.

Abstract:
O presente estudo analisou resinas compostas imersas em diferentes bebidas (café, vinho tinto, refrigerante a base de cola e água destilada) nos diferentes tempos de polimento. Avaliou-se também a estabilidade de cor após o repolimento. As resinas compostas utilizadas foram: Resina Filtek Z350 XT e Resina Brilliant NG; as bebidas para o experimento foram: café, refrigerante à base de cola, vinho tinto e água destilada, que corresponde ao grupo controle. Foram confeccionados 160 corpos de prova: 80 de cada resina composta. Vinte corpos de prova receberam polimento imediato, vinte receberam polimento após 24 horas, vinte o polimento após 7 dias e os outros vinte não receberam polimento. As análises de cor foram feitas utilizando o aparelho espectrocolorímetro, que utiliza o sistema CIELab. Foi avaliado o ΔE dos grupos após 30 dias (ΔE= 30d – baseline). Os dados foram submetidos à ANOVA e teste de Tukey (α=5%). Os corpos-de-prova passaram por processo de repolimento com discos de Sof-Lex Pop On e, posteriormente, foram analisados em busca de identificar se houve aproximação equivalente à cor inicial. As bebidas testadas possuem capacidade de manchamento, sendo o café e o vinho tinto os grupos com maiores valores de alteração de cor, seguido do refrigerante à base de cola. As resinas compostas polidas apresentaram valores menores de alteração de cor, independentemente, do tempo de polimento. Com o repolimento, a água destilada e o refrigerante à base de cola tiveram seus valores considerados clinicamente aceitáveis ΔE<3,3. Já o café e o vinho tinto tiveram seus valores de manchamento reduzidos, porém perceptíveis ao olho humano.Palavras-chave: Resinas Compostas. Corantes. Polimento Dentário.AbstractThe present study examined composite resins in different beverages (coffee, red wine, cola-based soda and distilled water) in the different times of polishing and after the re-polishing. The composite resins used were: resin Filtek Z350 XT and resin Brilliant NG; the tested beverages were: coffee, red wine, soft-drink and distilled water corresponding to the control group. 160 specimens were made, 80 of each composite. Twenty specimens were given immediate polishing, twenty were polished after 24 hours, twenty were polished after 7 days and the other twenty had no polishing. Color analysis was made using the spectrophotometer device that uses CIELab system. ΔE was evaluated after 30 days immersion period (ΔE = 30-days - baseline). The data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey tests (α=5%). Then, specimens were re-polished with Sof-Lex Pop On and subsequently analyzed if there was approach equivalent to the initial color. All the tested beverages had ability to staining, and coffee and red wine groups showed higher values of color change, followed by soft-drink. The composite resins polished showed lower values of color change, regardless of the polishing time. After re-polishing, distilled water and soft-drink had their values considered clinically acceptable ΔE<3.3; coffee and red wine had their staining values reduced, but perceptible to the human eye.Keywords: Composite Resins. Coloring Agents. Dental Polishing.

Abstract:
Objective Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) refers to the decline of pelvic organ position and dysfunction caused by weak pelvic floor support. The aim of the present study was to screen the hub genes and immune cell infiltration related to POP disease. Methods Microarray data of 34 POP tissues in the GSE12852 gene expression dataset were used as research objects. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to elucidate the hub module and hub genes related to POP occurrence. Gene function annotation was performed using the DAVID tool. Differential analysis based on the GSE12852 dataset was carried out to explore the expression of the selected hub genes in POP and non-POP tissues, and RT-qPCR was used to validate the results. The differential immune cell infiltration between POP and non-POP tissues was investigated using the CIBERSORT algorithm. Results WGCNA revealed the module that possessed the highest correlation with POP occurrence. Functional annotation indicated that the genes in this module were mainly involved in immunity. ZNF331, THBS1, IFRD1, FLJ20533, CXCR4, GEM, SOD2, and SAT were identified as the hub genes. Differential analysis and RT-qPCR demonstrated that the selected hub genes were overexpressed in POP tissues as compared with non-POP tissues. The CIBERSORT algorithm was employed to evaluate the infiltration of 22 immune cell types in POP tissues and non-POP tissues. We found greater infiltration of activated mast cells and neutrophils in POP tissues than non-POP tissues, while the infiltration of resting mast cells was lower in POP tissues. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between the type of immune cell infiltration and hub genes by Pearson correlation analysis. The results indicate that activated mast cells and neutrophils had a positive correlation with the hub genes, while resting mast cells had a negative correlation with the hub genes. Conclusions Our research identified eight hub genes and the infiltration of three types of immune cells related to POP occurrence. These hub genes may participate in the pathogenesis of POP through the immune system, giving them a certain diagnostic and therapeutic value.

Abstract:
During pulmonary edema, the alveolar space is exposed to a hypoxic environment. The integrity of the alveolar epithelial barrier is required for the reabsorption of alveolar fluid. Tight junctions (TJ) maintain the integrity of this barrier. We set out to determine whether hypoxia creates a dysfunctional alveolar epithelial barrier, evidenced by an increase in transepithelial electrical conductance (Gt), due to a decrease in the abundance of TJ proteins at the plasma membrane. Alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) exposed to mild hypoxia (Po2= 50 mmHg) for 30 and 60 min decreased occludin abundance at the plasma membrane and significantly increased Gt. Other cell adhesion molecules such as E-cadherin and claudins were not affected by hypoxia. AEC exposed to hypoxia increased superoxide, but not hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Overexpression of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) but not SOD2 prevented the hypoxia-induced Gtincrease and occludin reduction in AEC. Also, overexpression of catalase had a similar effect as SOD1, despite not detecting any increase in H2O2during hypoxia. Blocking PKC-ζ and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) prevented the hypoxia-induced occludin reduction at the plasma membrane and increase in Gt. In summary, we show that superoxide, PKC-ζ, and PP2A are involved in the hypoxia-induced increase in Gtand occludin reduction at the plasma membrane in AEC.

Abstract:
This paper advances the argument that gay men using online meeting spaces to smoke methamphetamine together are re-enacting the HIV/AIDS crisis. Using ethnographic observations of gay men smoking meth through an online meeting software called Zoom, this paper attempts to synthesise pharmaceutical insight with Freudian and Foucauldian theory. The idea of naked bodies presenting themselves before others while administering powerful pharmaceuticals – quarantined and isolated – expresses a recurrence of the HIV/AIDS crisis. The paper argues the crisis instantiated a logic of quarantine and containment which required gay men to insert themselves into an ascetic discourse and conduct, engaging only in isolated sexual practices. Gay populations were to be surveilled by medical institutions. Constant testing and monitoring of behaviour were to be used as a technique to contain the virus. Finally, powerful retroviral medications appeared in the mid-1990s and became the saviour of the AIDS infected populace, freeing queer bodies from the shackles of HIV. All of this creates new techniques for the function of power. Now, in place of quarantine, bodies isolate themselves. In place of surveillance, bodies become spectacles. In place of antiretrovirals, bodies infuse their blood with stimulants.

Abstract:
Androids occupy a position of fascination within US pop culture and science fiction television, yet they rarely acknowledge their own experiences of gender. Reading Wendy the entertainment android from Syfy Channel's Dark Matter (2015–2017) as trans*, this article analyzes the material, cultural, and imagined bodies of the android through an intersectional lens of gender, sex, and race. At times, the article slips between different versions of the transgender android, wading through their cinematic representation, theoretical conceptualization, socio-cultural construction, and material reality, striving always to relate these overlapping categories to the android's trans* and technological body. First, the article delves into gender, race, and David Huebert's ‘species panic’, arguing that the triply othered transgender android would inspire a triple panic with direct ramifications for trans* bodies, especially trans women of color. The article then addresses the role of the multilayered cinematic, scientific, raced, cis-heteronormative gaze in the biopolitical ordering of life. Using Susan Stryker's theorization of passing and micha cárdenas's practice of the shift, the article then views sexual encounters as creating both the potential for and then panic of transgender otherness. This potential and potentially real panic then directly impacts the bodies of trans women of color and transgender androids through a reliance on sex work narratives and the commodification of sex.

Abstract:
This article analyses the 2005 video clip and the song Люди Инвалиды (‘Lyudi Invalidy’, literally translated as ‘disabled people’ in English) of the pop duo t.A.T.u. Through an analysis of the song and the video and public and activists’ reactions to it within Russia, the authors seek to contribute to the existing discussions on the notions of инвалидность (‘invalidnost’’, the Russian term for disability) in the context of post-soviet Russia and the problem of relating these notions to English-speaking disability discourses (Iarskaia-Smirnova 2001; Gains 2004; Hartblay 2005; Phillips 2009). The authors investigate t.A.T.u.’s usage of the term инвалидность (‘invalidnost’) and relate it to the term's usage within the broader socio-political context of Russia. Considering the place where the song and the video were produced – Los Angeles – and their target audiences – both Russian and North/Western – we argue that the video and the song must be read as cases of cultural translation between the Russian ‘invalidnost’’ and the North/Western disability, queer, and crip discourses. t.A.T.u. imported North/Western cultural images and meanings of disability and queerness in their video and songs. While these images and meanings can be read as empowering in the North/Western context, these images intersect problematically with discriminatory discourses on invalidnost’ in the Russian context. Considering Russian disability activists’ reactions to the song the authors argue that the cultural translation of these North/Western concepts produce derogatory meanings of invalidnost’ within the Russian context rather than inspiring acceptance or appreciation

Abstract:
Abstract Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) infections are a very important problem in the poultry industry. PhoP-PhoQ is a two-component system that regulates virulence genes in APEC. In this study, we constructed strains that lacked the PhoP or PhoQ genes to assess regulation of APEC pathogenicity by the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system. The PhoP mutant strain AE18, PhoQ mutant strain AE19, and PhoP/PhoQ mutant strain AE20 were constructed by the Red homologous recombination method. Swim plates were used to evaluate the motility of the APEC strains, viable bacteria counting was used to assess adhesion and invasion of chick embryo fibroblasts, and Real-Time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of virulence genes. We first confirmed that AE18, AE19, and AE20 were successfully constructed from the wild-type AE17 strain. AE18, AE19, and AE20 showed significant decreases in motility of 70.97%, 83.87%, and 37.1%, respectively, in comparison with AE17. Moreover, in comparison with AE17, AE18, AE19, and AE20 showed significant decreases of 63.11%, 65.42%, and 30.26%, respectively, in CEF cell adhesion, and significant decreases of 59.83%, 57.82%, and 37.90%, respectively, in CEF cell invasion. In comparison with AE17, transcript levels of sodA, polA, and iss were significantly decreased in AE18, while transcript levels of fimC and iss were significantly decreased in AE19. Our results demonstrate that deletion of PhoP or PhoQ inhibits invasion and adhesion of APEC to CEF cells and significantly reduces APEC virulence by regulating transcription of virulence genes.

Abstract:
The potential risks of environmental nanoparticles (NPs), in particular Polystyrene Nanoparticles (PNPs), is an emerging problem; specifically, the interaction of PNPs with intestinal cells has not been characterized so far. The mechanism by which polystyrene particles are transferred to humans has not yet been clarified, whether directly through ingestion from contaminated food. We evaluated the interaction between PNPs and colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (HCT116). Cells were exposed to different concentrations of PNPs, metabolic activity and the consequent cytotoxic potential were assessed through viability test; we evaluated the PNP genotoxic potential through the Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus cytome (CBMN cyt) assay. Finally, we detected Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production after NPs exposure and performed Western Blot analysis to analyze the enzymes (SOD1, SOD2, Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase) involved in the cell detoxification process that comes into play during the cell-PNPs interaction. This work analyzes the cyto and genotoxicity of PNPs in the colorectal HCT116 cell line, in particular the potential damage from oxidative stress produced by PNPs inside the cells related to the consequent nuclear damage. Our results show moderate toxicity of PNPs both in terms of ROS production and DNA damage. Further studies will be needed on different cell lines to have a more complete picture of the impact of environmental pollution on human health in terms of PNPs cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.

Abstract:
Aquatic systems are a very important part of the environment, which requires special attention due to the constant deterioration of the quality and quantity of water globally. Aquatic environments in Poland are mostly affected by the mining and smelting industry, which is especially visible in the south of the country, and one of such anthropogenically affected rivers is the Wilga—a small tributary of the Vistula River (the biggest river in Poland). For many years, the catchment area of the Wilga River accommodated a functioning industry that was based on the use of metals (fur, leather processing, foundry and galvanizing plants), as well as the “Solvay” Kraków Soda Works, which have left behind soda waste piles, and currently, along the course of the river, there are ongoing works connected with the construction of the “Łagiewnicka Route”, which required the relocation of a section of the Wilga river bed, among other things. To determine the general condition of the river, selected physico-chemical parameters were analysed in the water (pH, conductivity, anions: Cl−, N-NO3, P-PO4 and SO4 and cations: Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn), suspended particulate matter and sediment (Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn). Samples were taken before the relocation of the river bed (2019) and after its relocation (2021). The obtained data were compared with recorded historical data and this revealed that over the years, the condition of the Wilga environment has improved significantly, especially in terms of the contamination of sediments with metals, the concentrations of which fell several ten-fold. This is attributed to the closure of most industrial plants located within the river’s catchment area and to the modernization and legal regulation of the functioning of the remaining plants. An effect of leachates from the soda waste piles on the waters of Wilga has been observed (in the form of higher pH, mineralization and concentration of chlorides), which has however gradually decreased over time. However, no visible impact of road transport on the river’s environment has been observed, or any impact of the construction works or the related relocation of the river bed for that matter. The river should still be classified as polluted, but the level of this pollution has decreased significantly and the qualitative composition of the pollution has also changed.

Abstract:
Over the past two decades, several musical genres have transcended their Caribbean origins to achieve global recognition and success. Among these are soca, dancehall and reggaeton, all forms that had been inextricably tied to native cultural expressions, but have become increasingly popular as global commodities, particularly as web-based streaming platforms (e.g. YouTube) enhance their global audiovisual mobility. Numerous artists within these genres have become internationally recognized superstars, and many of the most recent tracks reflect an increasing co-mingling with American ‘pop’ music, as record companies seek to invigorate mainstream sounds with these ‘exotic’, yet widely popular artists. This article explores representations of scalar territorial identity as articulated in music videos from within these genres so as to evaluate how identity intersects with profit-driven models applicable to the contemporary music industry. By evaluating imagery from a regionally representative sample of music videos, they identify the intimate relationship between identity, scale and cultural production. Ultimately, we interrogate how place-based identity is commodified in these representations and whether certain images are constructed more for transnational consumption than an articulation of a coherent local national, or regional identity.
