The Effectiveness of Interventions on Sustained Childhood Physical Activity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Studies
No full textBackground
Increased physical activity (PA) has been associated with a reduction in non-communicable disease risk factors and outcomes. However, interventions to increase childhood PA typically produce small to negligible effects. Recent reviews are limited due to lack of post-intervention follow-up measurement. This review aimed to examine measured effects at least six months post-intervention.
Methods and Findings
We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, ScienceDirect, SportDiscus and Google Scholar between 1st January 1991 and 1st November 2014 for controlled studies reporting six-month post-intervention measurement for children aged 5 to 18 years. 14 studies met inclusion criteria; 12 reported moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) (n = 5790) and 10 reported total PA (TPA) (n = 4855). We calculated overall effect estimates and 95% CI’s using random effects modelling with inverse variance weighting. Mean difference was calculated for MVPA, with standardised mean difference calculated to TPA due to measurement variation. Meta-regression assessed heterogeneity by continuous level variables. Negligible mean difference in MVPA existed in favour of the intervention group, amounting to 1.47 (95% CI -1.88, 4.82) mins/day compared to controls, while no difference was recorded on TPA. Sub-group analyses revealed males (2.65 mins/day: 95% CI 2.03, 3.27) reported higher levels of MVPA than females (-0.42 mins/day: 95% CI -7.77, 6.94), community settings (2.67 mins/day: 95% CI 2.05, 3.28) were more effective than school settings (1.70 mins/day: 95% CI -4.84, 8.25), and that treatment (4.47 mins/day: 95% CI -0.81, 9.76) demonstrated greater effects than population approaches (1.03 mins/day: 95% CI -2.54, 4.60). Meta-regression revealed no significant differences by factor on pooled effects. Significant heterogeneity existed between studies and potential for small study effects was present.
Conclusions
Improved PA levels subsequent to intervention were not maintained six month post-intervention. A potentially useful avenue of future research is to specifically explore community treatment of high risk individuals

Interview with Zoot Sims
No full textInterview with Zoot Sims. Sims' wife is also present and is heard on the recording toward the end. The interview begins with Sims mentioning meeting Jimmy Rowles on Boylston Street near the University of Southern California. Sims discusses Central Avenue around 1945-1946 and going there prior to his U.S. Army service, Honey Murphy's on Central near Watts, jam sessions, playing with Barney Kessel in Hollywood, and with Herb Ellis and Harry Babasin at Kessel's, noting that Ross Russell was active, but Sims was not making records at the time, seeing the original Stan Kenton band at the Palladium, jamming on Central at the Avalon club, feeling at home on Central Avenue, intellectual versus lyrical players, whether he plays comfortable lines or hears a melody, the fun of hitting a note and not knowing where it will lead, his approach to improvising, his non-music work painting houses after Kenton and working with Lawrence Marable and Leroy Vinnegar during that time, how painting houses gave him time to think, cars he had, driving a convertible in the rain, his brother's 1931 Chevy, whether he admired Kenton, Howard Rumsey's admiration of Kenton, Kenton's conducting, Kenton disapproving of Sims' Murray Space Shoes, and Sims being unconcerned with Kenton's judgment of his music. There is a pause in the recording from 18:30 to 19:04, and the interview resumes with Sims discussing Kenton's talks about music, followed by another pause from 19:50-20:16. The interview resumes with a microphone check and discussion of logistics (this may be the actual beginning of the interview), after which Sims discusses Pontrelli's Ballroom, playing at Pontrelli's with Herbie Stewart, stock arrangements of "Mexican style" music there, and band members Jimmy Giuffre, Stan Getz, and Tommy DeCarlo, Gene Roland as the originator of the "Four Brothers" sound, Giuffre writing Four Brothers for Woody Herman, the three tenor plus baritone saxophone instrumentation, getting considerable work from Mexican music gigs, getting out of the Army in 1946 and joining Benny Goodman, Sims' being from Inglewood, California, the musicians' union prohibition on jam sessions, Bill Harris and the Cafe Society, knowing Art Pepper when he was young and playing in Pepper's band in 1953, Bill Russo's arrangements, playing with Lee Konitz, Dave Schildkraut, Bill Holman, Stan Levey, Conte Candoli, and Ernie Royal, having initially joined Benny Goodman's band in 1943, the 1950 Goodman band with Roy Eldridge and Toots Thielemans (noting Thielemans was not whistling in this setting), his experience of growing up in LA, segregation in the LA area, the war effort and factory work changing the city, people who would come to the Central Avenue scene, his impressions of Charles Mingus, Sims' band with Barney Kessel at the Band Box, a tip jar with Benzedrine and half a joint, the woman bouncer at the Band Box, being bored by playing alone, his record with Bucky Pizzarelli, playing saxophone exercise books with Al Cohn, Dave Frishberg's idolizing Sims and Cohn, the hard bop era and blues, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young as a creative disrupter, getting to know young on the Birdland tour, Young's imprisonment and how it changed him, one's personality projected through one's tone, not being complacent, Sims' praise of his wife, Lester Young in the Billie Holiday / Teddy Wilson era, where Sims would go in a time machine, whether he teachers, young players and the unavailability of jam sessions as in Sims' youth, major big bands getting players out of colleges, his assessment of college-educated musicians, what future there is for musicians in schools, Gerry Mulligan and his sextet, hanging out with Mulligan in the Birth of the Cool era, bad times for jazz around 1950, the demise of big bands, working with Miles Davis, the West Coast sound, Shorty Rogers, the Lighthouse, Stu Williamson, Jack Montrose, Herbie Stewart and the first time Sims had an artichoke, driving in LA before the freeways, the Lockie music store, the LA streetcar system and the Red Car line, transferring between buses and streetcars, Sims' decision not to double on other instruments, Teddy Edwards on road work versus studio work, Chris Connors' praise of Zoot Sims, Stan Levey being replaced in the Kenton band by Mel Lewis, Sims' being one of the first to leave the Kenton band after a difficult European tour and leaving after a bus accident in Pennsylvania, and Kenton riding shotgun on the bus and what he was like to work with. The formal interview concludes, but Sims goes on to discuss two neighbors growing up -- Leonard Slye, who became Roy Rogers, and Lester Bollinder, who took in the future Marilyn Monroe as a foster child. Sims also discusses when he got his first saxophone and having a clarinet before that, playing in a band at Leuzinger High School, the musical background of this family, Sims' reiterating that "the whole joy of jazz is not knowing what's coming next until it comes, praise of Charlie Parker, believing that as a musicians "you're supposed to become you," and whether he saw Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker at Billy Berg's club

Visualisation of amphetamine contamination in fingerprints using tof-sims technique
No full textTime-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) was applied to detect traces of amphetamine on fingerprints. In the present study, three different lift tapes and latent powder fingerprints were tested. The obtained results show that it is possible to identify traces of a drug as well as its distribution over the tested fingerprint after its transfer from the primary base onto an adhesive lifter (secondary base). Moreover, images obtained by the TOF-SIMS technique enable the observation of very small areas of the analysed fingerprint as well as the identification of micro-objects (residues of a contaminant) that were left on the fingerprint. The use of the black latent fingerprint powder did not interfere with the TOF-SIMS analysis, which makes it possible to effectively use this technique to study the traces of substances on the revealed fingerprints.ChemE/Advanced Soft Matte
