This research article examines the implementation of a recess improvement program across five elementary schools. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining observations, interviews, surveys, and focus groups to assess the program's effectiveness. While aggregate quantitative data showed limited overall improvement, one school demonstrated significant positive changes. Four key factors contributing to successful and sustained recess reform were identified: staff engagement, program integration, student leadership, and effective communication. The findings highlight the importance of whole-school commitment and leadership support for successful recess reform.

This academic essay proposes using a "container" - a group of diverse individuals with shared goals - as a way to promote boundary spanning and belonging in land-grant university collaborations. The authors argue that a well-curated container can foster equity by bridging identity, organizational, and tactical boundaries while tackling the complex historical and systemic power dynamics often present in academia. The essay explores how to develop, nurture, repair, and expand such a container, offering practical strategies and real-world examples for those working to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in higher education.

The study provides national estimates indicating that over half of emergency department visits for sports-related musculoskeletal injuries among high school-age patients are nonurgent. It finds that patients with public insurance and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to seek nonurgent care, suggesting potential for reducing such visits through athletic trainer services.

Findings from this study have several implications for evaluation and intervention in Adapted Physical Activity/Education experiential learning, such as including the disability community in planning and designing programming to benefit both students and people with disabilities.

This study developed the Partner Version of the Self-Efficacy to Communicate about Sex and Intimacy (SECSI-PV) scale, focusing on the context of cancer survivorship. Through expert input and cognitive interviews with partners of female cancer survivors, the scale's content validity was assessed, revealing that participants found the items relevant and clear. The research underscores the importance of involving partners in sexual health discussions and suggests further validation of the instrument in diverse populations.

This study provides compelling evidence supporting the positive impact of home health care on end-of-life care, especially for individuals with dementia. It underscores the importance of early home health care initiation and advocates for policies that enhance access to these vital services for all eligible individuals.

The significance of these conclusions lies in their potential to advance multiple fields that rely on geospatial data analysis, particularly in addressing contemporary challenges in environmental science, public health, and urban planning. The improved efficiency and flexibility of HierGP could enable new types of analyses that were previously computationally infeasible.

These findings suggest that for large-scale whey protein concentrate (WPC) production, spray drying may be a more cost-effective method without compromising the retention of bioactive proteins, assuming multiple pasteurization steps are already part of the process. This information can help the dairy industry make informed decisions to optimize the nutritional value and quality of their whey protein products.

This study addresses the need for updated COVID-19 risk prediction models that reflect the current context of the pandemic, including the Omicron variant, population immunity from prior infection and vaccination, and the availability of effective treatments. Previous models developed early in the pandemic may no longer be accurate or applicable due to these evolving factors.

The study investigates the use of video versus audio telehealth among low-income safety net clinic patients, focusing on variations by rurality and changes over time. It finds that while telehealth use decreased among urban patients, it remained stable in small rural areas, with audio-only visits being more common overall. The results suggest that eliminating reimbursement for audio telehealth could worsen healthcare inequities.

This study identifies patterns of tobacco use among middle and high school students in the Dominican Republic, revealing five subclasses of users, with the majority being shisha experimenters or poly-tobacco users. The findings suggest that tobacco control strategies should target multiple products and focus on prevention efforts for younger male students.

The study investigates the absorption of milk peptides into the blood after WPI consumption. While a spiking study confirmed the ability to detect milk peptides in blood, only one out of 18 subjects showed detectable milk peptides in their blood after WPI consumption. This suggests that absorption of WPI-derived peptides into the bloodstream is limited and highly variable between individuals. The study highlights the need for further research into factors influencing milk peptide absorption and their potential bioactivity beyond the gut.

This study is the first to assess built environment characteristics through photographs in diverse global communities to examine how the built environment is associated with body mass index and obesity.

This study found that high temperature short time (HTST) pasteurization, applied to both milk and whey during commercial whey protein concentrate production, leads to a reduction in several key bioactive proteins such as lactoferrin, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin M, and xanthine oxidase. The study suggests exploring alternative processing methods to better preserve these valuable components.

This paper details a two-month study on the effectiveness of a custom-built robot, GoBot, in encouraging physical activity in children. The researchers investigated whether a mobile assistive robotic system could promote movement in typically developing children and how this success changed over time using different movement tracking methods. They found that children tended to be more physically active when GoBot was active, regardless of whether it was teleoperated or semi-autonomous. The study concluded that robots have the potential to positively influence child physical activity, and the use of semi-autonomous robots could be more practical and less effort-intensive in intervention settings.
