The double-edged sword of internet use in China’s aging population: thresholds, mediation and digital health policy by Yirong Li, Jianguang Cai, Haiyong Yu

“…Although the current average of 1.8 h/day of use internet is well below the harmful threshold, structural digital exclusion creates a compensation-vulnerability paradox: older and less-educated groups derive greater marginal health benefits from moderate use but face higher risks of overuse due to limited digital literacy and physiological constraints.ConclusionInternet use offers conditional health benefits for older adults, contingent on usage thresholds and mediated by physical activity. …”

The Performative Dimension of a Literary Text-Concert by Svitlana Macenka

“…The text itself is conceptualized as a concert, i.e., the plot may be framed by a concert event or be presented as a special concert event with a detailed description of the conditions of the performance (acoustic space, the drama, timing, atmosphere, acoustic background, relevant auditory habits, and performative and ritualistic elements of the concert) and their impact on the listener. Due to particular structural technologies aimed at the most adequate and vocal rendering of the musical performance, a text of this type is played out as a concert that exceeds the limits of representation and displays such dimensions as embodiment, mediality, or eventfulness. …”

Urea concentration in sheep’s milk by Jasmina Havranek, Željko Mikulec, Tomislav Mašek, Neven Antunac, Nataša Mikulec, Ivan Vnučec, Darija Bendelja

“…The concentration of urea in milk, along with the feeding process, is influenced by a number of other factors such as: breed, stage and sequence of lactation, body mass, daily production and chemical structure of milk, number of somatic cells, season, milking.The goal of the research was to establish the influence of the breed (Island of Krk, East Frisian), lactation stage (beginning, middle and the end) and the herd (3) to the concentration of urea in milk during lactation.For each breed there has been established daily quantity of milk, protein share and the concentration of urea in milk.Statistical analysis of data was conducted by using General Linear Models procedure, SAS program system (1999).The breed of sheep considerably (P<0.001) influenced daily quantity of milk, protein share and the concentration of urea in the milk.East Frisian sheep produced on average almost double the daily quantities of milk (1070 mL) compared to the Krk sheep (588 mL).Protein share and the urea concentration in Krk sheep milk were higher (5.99 % and 35.97 mg/100 mL) then in the milk of East Frisian sheep (5.12 % and 33.31 mg/100 mL).For both breeds the significant influence of lactation stage to the daily milk quantity has been established (0.001), that is also for the urea concentration in the milk of Krk sheep (0.001), as well as protein share in the milk of East Frisian sheep (0.001).Herd influence significantly affected daily milk quantities (0.001) and concentration of urea in the milk (0.05).The defining of the urea concentration in sheep milk should be occasionally carried out in the Republic of Croatia to establish the standard physiological values typical for the particular sheep breed.…”
