Landing errors in the men’s floor exercise are caused by flight characteristics

Landing errors on men’s floor exercises are caused by the flight parameters. Depending of the flight phase is determined the magnitude of the landing mistake. On the sample of all gymnasts (n=97) who were competing in the qualifications of the senior Men’s European Championships 2004 in Ljubljana, we analyzed saltos which were performed by them. Variables according to the theoretical model for the evaluation of salto landings in the floor exercise were used. From the mentioned model we chose only those variables that relate to the flight phase. Axis of rotation, number of turns around longitudinal axis and initial landing height havea significant impact on the magnitude of the landing mistake

LARSEN B, RETRATO DEL CALENTAMIENTO: En la bahía Larsen B, noreste de la Península Antártica, desembocan numerosos glaciares de descarga, que son importantes reservas de agua dulce… ¿Cómo les está afectando el cambio climático?

Antártida contiene la mayor reserva de agua dulce del planeta y se encuentra en forma de hielo. El Panel Intergubernamental para el Cambio Climático reportó un aumento de 1,1 °C en la temperatura media global, lo cual preocupa a los países miembros del Tratado Antártico, entre ellos, Argentina. Para saber cómo afecta este aumento de la temperatura a las masas de hielo, el Instituto Antártico Argentino está realizando hace décadas un constante estudio de los glaciares de la Península Antártica. Se registró que, durante los últimos años, los glaciares situados en la bahía Larsen B, en el noreste de la Península Antártica, presentan un acelerado retroceso

The Complete Genome Sequence of Thermoproteus tenax: A Physiologically Versatile Member of the Crenarchaeota

Here, we report on the complete genome sequence of the hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeum Thermoproteus tenax (strain Kra 1, DSM 2078(T)) a type strain of the crenarchaeotal order Thermoproteales. Its circular 1.84-megabase genome harbors no extrachromosomal elements and 2,051 open reading frames are identified, covering 90.6% of the complete sequence, which represents a high coding density. Derived from the gene content, T. tenax is a representative member of the Crenarchaeota. The organism is strictly anaerobic and sulfur-dependent with optimal growth at 86 degrees C and pH 5.6. One particular feature is the great metabolic versatility, which is not accompanied by a distinct increase of genome size or information density as compared to other Crenarchaeota. T. tenax is able to grow chemolithoautotrophically (CO2/H-2) as well as chemoorganoheterotrophically in presence of various organic substrates. All pathways for synthesizing the 20 proteinogenic amino acids are present. In addition, two presumably complete gene sets for NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) were identified in the genome and there is evidence that either NADH or reduced ferredoxin might serve as electron donor. Beside the typical archaeal A(0)A(1)-ATP synthase, a membrane-bound pyrophosphatase is found, which might contribute to energy conservation. Surprisingly, all genes required for dissimilatory sulfate reduction are present, which is confirmed by growth experiments. Mentionable is furthermore, the presence of two proteins (ParA family ATPase, actin-like protein) that might be involved in cell division in Thermoproteales, where the ESCRT system is absent, and of genes involved in genetic competence (DprA, ComF) that is so far unique within Archaea

Our purpose was to assess factors of hospital mortality separately for men and women with STEMI, which are less well known.Patients and Methods: In 2018– 2019, 485 men and 214 women with STEMI underwent treatment with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We retrospectively compared baseline characteristics, treatments and hospital complications between men and women, as well as between nonsurviving and surviving men and women with STEMI.Results: Primary PCI was performed in 94% of men and 91.1% of women with STEMI, respectively. The in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in women than in men (14% vs 8%, p=0.019). Hospital mortality in both genders was associated significantly to older age, heart failure, prior resuscitation, acute kidney injury, to less likely performed and less successful primary PCI and additionally in men to hospital infection and in women to bleeding. In men and women ≥ 65 years, mortality was similar (13.3% vs 17.8%, p = 0.293).Conclusion: Factors of hospital mortality were similar in men and women with STEMI, except bleeding was more likely observed in nonsurviving women and infection in nonsurviving men.Keywords: ST-elevation myocardial infarction, female sex, male sex, sex differences, hospital mortality, 30-day survival, 6-month surviva

ADDITION OF PROBIOTIC TO FEEDS WITH DIFFERENT ENERGY AND ADF CONTENT IN RABBITS. 2. EFFECT ON MICROBIAL METABOLISM IN THE CAECUM
