Coaching unified sports: associations between perceived athlete improvement, barriers, and coach attitudes across five European countries by Maciej Wilski, Piotr Urbański, Roxana Ossian, Gabriela Papp Eniko, Nina Bracanovic Milovic, Ivan Radovic, Veronica Sedlackova, Eva Gazova, Nadira Sabanovic, Kada Delic Selimovic, Velibor Srdic, Srboljub Vukovic, Damir Ahmic, Vaiva Abramaviciute, Daiva Dabriliene, Ausra Kriskovieciene, Anna Nadolska

“…Although institutional, social, and logistical barriers to Unified Sports were widely recognized by participants, these factors did not independently predict attitudes once other variables were controlled for.ConclusionThe findings underscore the motivational role of observed progress among athletes with disabilities in shaping coach engagement and suggest that experiential factors such as previous involvement and personal ties may carry unanticipated emotional or structural challenges. These insights point to the importance of designing coach education and support programs that not only promote technical competence but also address emotional resilience and contextual demands. …”

Predicting HIV self-testing intentions among Chinese college students: a dual-model analysis integrating health belief constructs and machine learning prioritization by Yan Jiang, Jing Li, Jing Li, Jingfen Lu, Liping He, Lin Hu, Jiazhen He, Xianli Huang, Yuchao Li

“…Random forest modeling prioritized these psychological constructs (mean decrease Gini >2.5), identifying male students and arts majors as critical subpopulations requiring targeted intervention.DiscussionOur dual-method analysis establishes that campus HIV control necessitates: 1) Gender-specific prevention programs addressing male students’ elevated risk exposure; 2) HBM-informed education strengthening self-efficacy and environmental cues; 3) Structural interventions reducing testing barriers through discreet service delivery. …”

Mechanisms of immune regulation and transplantation immunity in corneal transplants by V. V. Neroev, N. V. Balatskaya, E. V. Chentsova, Kh. M. Shamkhalova

“…Unlike other kinds of transplants, corneal grafting is often performed without tissue typing and systemic immunosuppression.High frequency of transparent corneal engraftment (up to 90% of cases) in the absence of risk factors is due to special immunoprivileged area in the anterior eye segment (functionally, a structural aggregation of the cornea and anterior chamber, AC) accomplished by local and systemic immunoregulatory mechanisms, i.e., phenomenon of immune deviation associated with anterior chamber of the eye (ACAID), components of the internal liquid medium, a watery moisture with immunosuppressive properties, e.g., IL-1ra, TSP-1,TGF-β2, regulatory complement proteins, α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone), VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), calcitonin-gene-bound peptide (CGRP), somatostatin, etc.In addition to ACAID and liquid AC components, a contribution to the maintenance of immune privilege which is extremely important for a successful outcome of keratoplasty, is provided by other mechanisms, in particular, immunologically active membrane-associated molecules of corneal endothelium, i.e., PDL-1 (Programmed death ligand 1), and sVEGFR-1, sVEGFR-2, sVEGFR-3 involved in maintaining avascularity of the corneal tissue. …”

The effect of rTMS intervention with different targets on neural remodeling in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial by Li Zhao, Li Chen, Qiu Wang, Xinyi Li, Sha Li, Chunxiao Wan

“…Functional connectivity analysis revealed significantly increased resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in the contralateral dentate nucleus and ventromedial premotor area of the affected side in the SMA group relative to the M1 group (p = 0.0319), with this enhancement showing a strong positive correlation with balance function improvement (r = 0.637, p = 0.001). Structural MRI analysis indicated that while the M1 group exhibited a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) in the medial segment of the postcentral gyrus (p = 0.02), the SMA group showed significant GMV increases in the posterior cerebellum and chorionic lobule (p = 0.0428) that demonstrated a moderate positive correlation with improved balance function (r = 0.436, p = 0.038). …”

Enhanced ammonia decomposition using a Pd-Ag membrane reactor for high-purity hydrogen production by Erasmo Salvatore Napolitano, Cristina Italiano, Adele Brunetti, Minju Thomas, Antonio Vita, Giuseppe Barbieri

“…The catalyst was synthesized using solution combustion techniques, and its structure–activity relationship was thoroughly investigated through a range of advanced characterization methods, including N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The performance of the membrane reactor was evaluated by varying the feed pressure and flow rate, using either single ammonia or a simulated outlet stream from a conventional reactor with ammonia conversions ranging from 20 % to 50 %. …”
