An Analysis of Behaviour Change Techniques Used in a Sample of Gestational Weight Management Trials by H. Soltani, M. A. Arden, A. M. S. Duxbury, F. J. Fair

“…Poor reporting within studies in defining the BCTs used, in clarifying the differences in processes between intervention and control groups, and in differentiating between the intervention and research processes made BCT classification difficult. Future studies should elaborate more clearly on the behaviour change techniques used and report them accurately to allow a better understanding of the effective ingredients for lifestyle interventions during pregnancy.…”

Immigration patterns inferred from oxygen isotope analysis of human teeth from the Tylos-period Maqaba burial mounds in Bahrain by Yu Itahashi, Kenji Okazaki, Kazuhisa Yoshimura, Yumiko Oyabu, Kiyohide Saito

“…Oxygen isotopic signatures of water from modern springs, wells, precipitation, and bottled water sourced from Bahraini wells were used as contemporary proxies for ancient oasis water, allowing a comparison to be made between enamel and water compositions.Results and discussionOur results indicate that many of the individuals interred in the Maqaba burial mounds cluster originated from higher latitudes than that of Bahrain, suggesting that they were immigrants who were involved in trade or administration, rather than native Bahrainis. Future studies are expected to provide more archaeological evidence that will clarify the exact origins of these immigrants.…”
