Coaching unified sports: associations between perceived athlete improvement, barriers, and coach attitudes across five European countries by Maciej Wilski, Piotr Urbański, Roxana Ossian, Gabriela Papp Eniko, Nina Bracanovic Milovic, Ivan Radovic, Veronica Sedlackova, Eva Gazova, Nadira Sabanovic, Kada Delic Selimovic, Velibor Srdic, Srboljub Vukovic, Damir Ahmic, Vaiva Abramaviciute, Daiva Dabriliene, Ausra Kriskovieciene, Anna Nadolska

“…Although institutional, social, and logistical barriers to Unified Sports were widely recognized by participants, these factors did not independently predict attitudes once other variables were controlled for.ConclusionThe findings underscore the motivational role of observed progress among athletes with disabilities in shaping coach engagement and suggest that experiential factors such as previous involvement and personal ties may carry unanticipated emotional or structural challenges. These insights point to the importance of designing coach education and support programs that not only promote technical competence but also address emotional resilience and contextual demands. …”

Mechanisms of immune regulation and transplantation immunity in corneal transplants by V. V. Neroev, N. V. Balatskaya, E. V. Chentsova, Kh. M. Shamkhalova

“…Unlike other kinds of transplants, corneal grafting is often performed without tissue typing and systemic immunosuppression.High frequency of transparent corneal engraftment (up to 90% of cases) in the absence of risk factors is due to special immunoprivileged area in the anterior eye segment (functionally, a structural aggregation of the cornea and anterior chamber, AC) accomplished by local and systemic immunoregulatory mechanisms, i.e., phenomenon of immune deviation associated with anterior chamber of the eye (ACAID), components of the internal liquid medium, a watery moisture with immunosuppressive properties, e.g., IL-1ra, TSP-1,TGF-β2, regulatory complement proteins, α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone), VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide), indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), calcitonin-gene-bound peptide (CGRP), somatostatin, etc.In addition to ACAID and liquid AC components, a contribution to the maintenance of immune privilege which is extremely important for a successful outcome of keratoplasty, is provided by other mechanisms, in particular, immunologically active membrane-associated molecules of corneal endothelium, i.e., PDL-1 (Programmed death ligand 1), and sVEGFR-1, sVEGFR-2, sVEGFR-3 involved in maintaining avascularity of the corneal tissue. …”
