Influence of sedentary behavior on sleep quality in postmenopausal women in high-altitude regions of China: a cross-sectional study by Rilang Leng, Ailin Guo, Guoping Qian, Sujie Mao

“…Subgroup analysis revealed age-specific effects: sedentary behavior had a strong influence on sleep quality in women under 60 years (r = 0.36, p < 0.01) but demonstrated a weaker, non-significant association in those aged 60 years or older (p = 0.062).ConclusionProlonged sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for reduced sleep quality among postmenopausal women residing in high-altitude regions, while improvements in the sleep environment are positively associated with better sleep quality. …”

Role of Intraplate Strike-Slip Earthquakes in Accommodating Convergence Across the Eastern Himalayan Plate Boundary System by Dibyajyoti Chaudhuri, Rupak Banerjee, Ajay Kumar, Shubham Sharma, Supriyo Mitra

“…However, in the region south of the Dawki Fault, the coupling is weaker. The strike-slip earthquakes beneath Indo-Burma probably occur due to a complex interplay between the trench-normal slab-pull forces and lateral-shear forces set up by the strike-parallel components of the interplate-coupling resistance and the mantle-drag forces.…”

A Few Words about the Hybrid Nature of Mawlid’s Text of the 18th Century by Alla Kozhinowa

“…In conclusion, it is assumed that norms pertaining to the Polish language became weaker gradually. This statement can be supported by the fact that “Mawlid” (Birth) was created no earlier than the 18th century, when the ter- ritories bordering the Russian Empire alongside the territories which had entered the Russian Empire after partitioning the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth were greatly influenced by the East Slavonic dialects as well as standards in writing. …”

Behavioral representations within the endogenous dual attentional pathways during audiovisual integration processing by Zhongtian Guan, Mingli Yan, Miao He, Yubo Liu, Zhixi Zhang, Chunlin Li

“…However, the cognitive strategies and neural mechanisms involved in audiovisual integration under endogenous attentional modulation are unclear, and in particular, the functional relationship between the dorsal and ventral pathways still needs to be thoroughly investigated.MethodsWe design only auditory (A), only visual (V), and audiovisual attention (VA) tasks based on the classical Posner paradigm with spatial, temporal and neutral cues for behavioral indicators, brain activation, and their correlations.ResultsOur results showed significant differences in behavioral performance between tasks, with weaker performance on the dual-channel task than on the single-channel task. …”

“…Of notice was that higher SAT was associated with higher HDL-C in African men (0.11 mmol/L, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.18) and with lower HDL-C in Inuit (−0.07 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.12 to –0.02), but not in European men (−0.02 mmol/L, 95% CI: −0.09 to 0.05). Generally weaker associations were observed for women. Furthermore, the absolute levels of several of the cardiometabolic outcomes differed between the ethnic groups.Conclusions VAT and SAT were associated with several of the cardiometabolic risk factors beyond overall adiposity. …”
