Objective:
Even though physical activity (PA) has multiple benefits, 30% of the population is inacti- ve. Catalonia impulse the World Physical Activity Day (WPAD), as a part of a broader strategy of PA promotion. The objetive of this work was to present the implementation and evolution of WPAD from 2010 to 2016.
Methods:
Repeated cross-sectional study. WPAD celebration was promoted through the web www.pafes. cat, a registry form, and a communication plan. Studied variables were: n. of entities, events (type) and participants, % of coordinated events, number of web visits and cost. A descriptive univariate analysis and calculation of frequencies was done.
Results:
Spreading was done to >9000 electronic addresses per year. Between 2010 and 2016 organizing entities, events and participants (2,8% of population in 2016) multiplied by 5. Organized events (walks, supervised PA, sport and diffusion) were done in coordination and mobilized 25 to 500 people, from a variety of settings. Estimated mean cost was 1 cent of euro by participant.
Conclusions:
WPAD managed to reach an important amount of population at a minimum cost.

02:19Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
