TL;DR: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has risen substantially worldwide in less than one generation as discussed by the authors and the average weight of a child has risen by more than 5 kg within three decades, to a point where a third of the country's children are overweight or obese.

TL;DR: The DHA status of infants and adults consuming preformed DHA in their diets is, on average, greater than that of people who do not consume DHA, but not with supplementation of ALA, EPA, or other precursors.
Abstract: Blood levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are considered biomarkers of status. Alpha-linolenic acid, ALA, the plant omega-3, is the dietary precursor for the long-chain omega-3 PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Studies in normal healthy adults consuming western diets, which are rich in linoleic acid (LA), show that supplemental ALA raises EPA and DPA status in the blood and in breast milk. However, ALA or EPA dietary supplements have little effect on blood or breast milk DHA levels, whereas consumption of preformed DHA is effective in raising blood DHA levels. Addition of ALA to the diets of formula-fed infants does raise DHA, but no level of ALA tested raises DHA to levels achievable with preformed DHA at intakes similar to typical human milk DHA supply. The DHA status of infants and adults consuming preformed DHA in their diets is, on average, greater than that of people who do not consume DHA. With no other changes in diet, improvement of blood DHA status can be achieved with dietary supplements of preformed DHA, but not with supplementation of ALA, EPA, or other precursors.

TL;DR: Examination of personal, family, social, and environmental correlates of active commuting to school among children in Melbourne, Australia found children were more likely to actively commute to school if their route was <800 meters and there were no associations with perceived energy levels or enjoyment of physical activity, weight status, or family factors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the finite-time consensus tracking control for multi-robot systems with input disturbances on the terminal sliding-mode surface and showed that the proposed error function can be modified to achieve relative state deviation between agents.
Abstract: This paper studies the finite-time consensus tracking control for multirobot systems. We prove that finite-time consensus tracking of multiagent systems can be achieved on the terminal sliding-mode surface. Also, we show that the proposed error function can be modified to achieve relative state deviation between agents. These results are then applied to the finite-time consensus tracking control of multirobot systems with input disturbances. Simulation results are presented to validate the analysis.
