Article Abstract
Objective: To review the influence of cleats-surface interaction on the performance and risk of injury in soccer athletes.
Design: Systematic review.
Data Sources: Scopus, Web of science, PubMed, and B-on.
Eligibility Criteria: Full experimental and original papers, written in English that studied the influence of soccer cleats on sports performance and injury risk in artificial or natural grass.
Results: Twenty-three articles were included in this review: nine related to performance and fourteen to injury risk. On artificial grass, the soft ground model on dry and wet conditions and the turf model in wet conditions are related to worse performance. Compared to rounded studs, bladed ones improve performance during changes of directions in both natural and synthetic grass. Cleat models presenting better traction on the stance leg improve ball velocity while those presenting a homogeneous pressure across the foot promote better kicking accuracy. Bladed studs can be considered less secure by increasing plantar pressure on lateral border. The turf model decrease peak plantar pressure compared to other studded models.
Conclusion: The model provides lower performance especially on artificial grass, while the turf model provides a high protective effect in both fields.

Modelling the Bioaccumulation of Ciguatoxins in Parrotfish on the Great Barrier Reef Reveals Why Biomagnification Is Not a Property of Ciguatoxin Food Chains.

We adapt previously developed conceptual and numerical models of ciguateric food chains on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, to model the bioaccumulation of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in parrotfish, the simplest food chain with only two trophic levels. Our model indicates that relatively low (1 cell/cm) densities of / species (hereafter collectively referred to as ) producing known concentrations of CTX are unlikely to be a risk of producing ciguateric fishes on the Great Barrier Reef unless CTX can accumulate and be retained in parrotfish over many months. Cell densities on turf algae equivalent to 10 /cm producing known maximum concentrations of Pacific-CTX-4 (0.

Living organisms, including human beings, spending time outdoors may be harmed by ultraviolet radiation. This research aimed to quantify the effects of vegetation, weather, and their interaction on UV-B irradiances (280-315 nm) in outdoor recreational spaces. UV-B irradiances in a playground shaded by trees and a roof garden in Hong Kong were monitored from 9 October 2020 to 3 November 2020.

Armed violence is a multifactorial phenomenon resulting from adverse living conditions and difficulty in access to (or absence of) services that might otherwise mitigate it, besides broad behavioral, social, and historical characteristics such as spatial segregation, territorial disputes (turf wars), the consolidation of organized armed groups, and structural racism. To analyze time trends of episodes of armed violence and their association with health and living conditions in the city of Rio de Janeiro, 2017 to 2022. Ecological time-series study applying the model based on data on shootouts in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 2017 to 2022.

Background: Injury modelling based on changes in speed and stride characteristics of racehorses has become a primary industry focus for the Thoroughbred racing industry. However, speed and stride characteristics are strongly associated with track condition; therefore, reliable quantification of surface variables for use in future models is imperative.
Objectives: This study aimed to understand the interaction of objective turf track condition score (TCS) measurement with racing speed and injury in flat racing Thoroughbred horses.

The land application of sewage sludge is a cost-effective disposal method, particularly in ecological projects where high sewage sludge addition can function as soil substitute and improve soil quality. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using sewage sludge as a substrate for slope ecological restoration and to identify the key factors that limit its application at higher doses. A 150-day pot experiment using tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) evaluated substrate characteristics, including water-soluble salts and heavy metals activities, as well as plant growth, physiological responses, and enrichment of the fifteen elements at three addition ratios (10 %, 30 %, and 50 %, w/w).
