TL;DR: Future health promotion strategies for family meals should aim at increasing children's and adolescents' SE, and the associations between FDF and descriptor variables (sex, grade, and ethnicity) are determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the sustainable advantage of alkali-activated binders, supplementary cementitious materials, and recycled materials as raw materials in concrete and showed that it is possible to achieve a greener concrete with enhanced properties compared to the conventional concrete with the use of new materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the standard approaches to verbal argumentation to explain and evaluate visual argumentation, which are communicated with non-verbal visual images, in order to account for visual arguments.
Abstract: Most infonnallogic texts and articles assume a verbal account of reasoning which defines "argument" as a set of sentences. The present paper broadens this definition in order to account for "visual arguments" which are communicated with nonverbal visual images. Standard approaches to verbal arguments are extended in a way that allows them to explain and evaluate visual argumentation.

TL;DR: These cross-sectional findings demonstrate important associations between physical literacy and guideline adherence for physical activity and sedentary behaviour.
Abstract: Physical literacy is an emerging construct in children’s health promotion, and may impact their lifelong physical activity habits. However, recent data reveal that only a small portion of Canadian children are regularly physically active and/or meet sedentary behaviour guidelines. To our knowledge, no study has investigated the association between physical literacy and movement behaviour guidelines. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical literacy scores in Canadian children who meet or do not meet physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines. Children (n = 2956; 56.6% girls) aged 8–12 years from 10 Canadian cities had their physical literacy levels measured using the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy, which consists of four domains (Physical Competence; Daily Behaviour; Knowledge and Understanding; and Motivation and Confidence) that are aggregated to provide a composite physical literacy score. Physical activity levels were measured by pedometers, and sedentary behaviour was assessed through self-report questionnaire. Analyses were conducted separately for each guideline, comparing participants meeting versus those not meeting the guidelines. Comparisons were performed using MANOVA and logistic regression to control for age, gender, and seasonality. Participants meeting physical activity guidelines or sedentary behaviour guidelines had higher physical literacy domain scores for Physical Competence and for Motivation and Confidence compared to those not meeting either guideline (both p < 0.0001). Participants had increased odds of meeting physical activity guidelines and sedentary behaviour guidelines if they met the minimum recommended level of the Physical Competence and Motivation and Confidence domains. Significant age (OR 0.9; 95% CI: 0.8, 0.9), gender (OR 0.4; 95% CI: 0.3, 0.5) and seasonality effects (OR 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2, 2.2 spring and OR 1.7; 95% CI: 1.2, 2.5 summer, reference winter) were seen for physical activity guidelines, and age (OR 0.8; 95% CI: 0.7, 0.8) and gender effects (OR 1.7; 95% CI: 1.4, 2.0) for sedentary behaviour guidelines. Knowledge and Understanding of physical activity principles was not related to guideline adherence in either model. These cross-sectional findings demonstrate important associations between physical literacy and guideline adherence for physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Future research should explore the causality of these associations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the HA-AuNP fabrication can be easily achieved in a wide range of pH (2 to 12) and the background SERS spectra of HA is relatively weak in absolute intensity, allowing the detection of the enhanced Raman signal from trace amount of contaminants.
Abstract: Humic acid (HA) solutions provide an unexpected medium for direct fabrication of gold nanoparticles (HA–AuNP) and a clear window for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with many potential applications in the ultrasensitive chemical analysis of environmental pollutants. It is demonstrated that the HA–AuNP fabrication can be easily achieved in a wide range of pH (2 to 12). The background SERS spectra of HA is relatively weak in absolute intensity, allowing the detection of the enhanced Raman signal from trace amount of contaminants. An in-situ approach is illustrated where the HA–AuNP fabrication is carried out with a HA solution containing the target pollutant. The technique may allow for the direct detection of organic pollutants present in the humic fraction of soil.
