Commented on ART² – A GRANT FOR LARGE-SCALE ARTS PROJECTS
New grant application period March 10-31, 2023. "With this grant, the Cultural Foundation aims to support art that is meaningful for more and more people and, thereby, for society as a whole. The purpose of this form of support is to fund art projects that make an impact and touch, in addition to art experts, the wider public. As the importance of proceeds from ticket sales can be expected to grow as a source of funding, the purpose simultaneously lends support to the expansion of production funding bases."

Commented on Ice Skating (Figure Skating) 101: A Lifelong Fitness Activity!
With the Winter Olympics, have been watching a lot of figure skating. It is awesome to think about how we can do this with our friends and family, have fun, and exercise. I wish it was more accessible in places that there aren't any ice rinks or anything.

Commented on The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics: An opportunity to promote physical activity and winter sports in Chinese youth
Surprised that previous Olympics and youth sports in general did not have an impact on physical activity. Times are just different for the youth and variety of activities they partake in, which is not an entirely bad thing. But even on a small scale, we hope that promotion can inspire some youth still.

Commented on A Comprehensive Policy Framework to Understand and Address Disparities and Discrimination in Health and Health Care: A Policy Paper From the American College of Physicians
Policy really is the way to establish a system that works for all and the disparities can be eliminated.

Article

Commented on Health Care Workers and Researchers Traveling to Developing‐World Clinical Settings: Disease Transmission Risk and Mitigation
This should be a continuous conversation with lending aid and care in different places. There has to be protocols in place to ensure risks are mitigated when traveling all over where there are endemic diseases, etc.

Article

Commented on Production, Consumption, and Potential Public Health Impact of Low- and No-Alcohol Products: Results of a Scoping Review
Interesting to see this scoping review. Sounds like there are more options of the low to no alcohol, which can be a driver to buying those, personal preference. More research seems to be needed on what the actual impacts are and that can take some time. But good to see what publications are out there then doing systematic reviews or new studies to drive policy eventually.

Commented on COVID-19 or not COVID-19? Compared characteristics of patients hospitalized for suspected COVID-19
Great paper to compare characteristics especially when illnesses present similarly. With tests and other comorbidities, this presents those comparisons.

Article

Commented on 3D Virtual worlds and the metaverse
Very interesting to see the evolvement and how the future possibilities discussed are essentially coming to fruition.

Commented on Virtual Reference Environments: a simple way to make research reproducible
Replicating results is the way to advance research. I think it makes sense for this to be a requirement for publication. It may take a little more time, but it can be better than finding out results cannot be reproduced and take us many steps back instead of continuing to advance.

Commented on Understanding Future Leaders: How Are Personal Values of Generations Y and Z Tailored to Leadership in Industry 4.0?
With what states a poor fit, things can be addressed earlier to create that sustainable workplace where these ideals and values can coexist.

Article

Commented on The Influence of Media and Psychological Factors on Preventive Hand Cleaning Behavior in the Pandemic of COVID-19 Among Chinese Adults
I could not access the article or abstract, but based on the title, I can only imagine it would ramp up behaviors of washing hands and taking on caution. I think more so in other countries versus the US, they take more caution when it comes to health and germ spreading, etc. Masks were more normative in other places and I think the media would only create concern to which it makes a person want to partake in protective behaviors.

Article

Commented on Sex bias in trials and treatment must end
In the decade since, is there equality in research? At least more so? This is an important discussion as this creates a huge disparity in care, research, etc.

Commented on [Comment] Treatment strategies to fight the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: A challenge for a Rubik's Cube solver
We have certainly progressed and come far from this with new challenges being solved time and again through research, treatment, testing, and real life workings.

Article

Commented on Physical Activity, Television Watching, And Health Related Physical Fitness In Children With Obesity
Could not locate paper, but there are many papers similar to this in previous years. We know technology takes a lot of attention away from doing other activities. I wonder if the association would be linear or have more variation to it.
