by Aston K. McCullough

Objectives

Engaging in dance of various styles confers health benefits among adults; however, additional studies on free-form dancing are needed to quantify its intensity and advance research on dance and health. This study characterized the absolute and relative physical activity (PA) intensities of solo, free-form dancing at self-determined moderate and vigorous intensities in adults.

Method

Participants (N = 48) ages 18 to 83 years old, with 0 to 56 years of dance training experience... Читать дальше...

by Yongsheng Liu, Maolin Zhai, Wang Liu

The main factors affecting the safety of underground structures are groundwater chemical corrosion and water level fluctuations. To investigate the mechanical properties of marble and the energy evolution pattern during the failure process under the coupled effects of chemical corrosion and dry-wet cycling, samples were subjected to 5, 10 and 20 cycles of dry-wet ageing in chemical solutions with pH values of 4, 7 and 10, respectively, followed by mechanical property testing.

The study found that the impact of depression on problematic social networking... Читать дальше...

The bright side of supplier concentration: Investor attitudes towards the reopening policy in China

Supplier concentration (SUC) has disadvantage of vulnerability along with cost savings and efficiency. While current scholarship focus on the vulnerability of firms with centralized suppliers during the COVID-19 epidemic, there is no empirical study that explores the impact of post-disaster SUC on firm value as countries removing regional isolation policy. I focus on the impact of COVID-19 reopening policy on investor attitudes towards SUC after the resolution of a supply chain disruption crisis. Читать дальше...
