Extreme heat is a significant direct health threat from climate change, with rising temperatures and frequent heatwaves increasingly stressing communities and health services across Africa. High baseline temperatures, wi...

Climate change is seriously threatening biodiversity and, especially, insects because their biological cycles are highly dependent on environmental conditions. We studied (1) how climate characterised by droughts and hea...

The study analyzes the lexical properties of the linguistic context that children from marginalized urban neighborhoods from Buenos Aires, Argentina, are exposed to in the literacy situations generated by an at-home earl...

In arid and semiarid areas, the interplant spaces are usually covered by physical and biological soil crusts. These crusts, though representing an almost negligible portion of the soil profile, have a number of crucial r...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effectiveness of school‐based Mindfulness‐based interventions (MBIs) on cognition, behavior, socio‐emotional outcomes and academic achievement. The review summarizes 61 ...

The aim of this Campbell systematic review is to synthesize the extant empirical evidence on the effects of boot‐camps and boot camp like programs on the criminal behavior (e.g., postrelease arrest, conviction, or rein...

Abstract Changes in weather and climate factors can cause negative impacts on women’s economic activities in agricultural communities, which have drawn increasing research attention. The objective of the current study ...

Analyzing the intraday dataset on weather and market information with the use of the extended GJR-GARCH framework, this study explores in depth the weather effects on the asset returns and volatilities of the Korean st...

ABSTRACT The ongoing destruction of the Amazon Forest in Brazil is causing increasing distress to its fauna, leading to alarming mortality among terrestrial and aquatic animals. An El Niño year, 2023 brought extreme dro...

Abstract Background Most climate and health studies are based on a single extreme weather event and do not consider multiple physical processes across spatial and temporal scales. Our aim was to explore the current lands...

Landslide hotspots refer to spatial clusters of slope failures where event densities significantly exceed surrounding background levels, providing key insight into how climatic, environmental, and anthropogenic factors i...

The surface-response formalism (SRF), where quantum surface-response corrections are incorporated into the classical electromagnetic theory via the Feibelman parameters, serves to address quantum effects in the optical r...

Climate change-induced Extreme Weather (EW) poses cascading threats to Human Well-being (HWB). Yet, the complex spatial transmission mechanisms and the heterogeneous impacts of distinct climatic stressors remain understu...

In the context of global climate change and rapid urbanization, floods caused by extreme rainstorms in Chinese cities have been on the rise. Consequently, urban flood risks evolve into a systematic threat to urban safety...

Urban microclimate are localized climatic conditions within urban areas that are shaped by the buildings, population density, land cover, and vegetation, and that differ significantly from surrounding rural contexts. The...

Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers are known to display three coexistent modes of operation: continuous wave, transform limited pulses (P1), and positive chirped pulses (P2). Extreme events (sometimes also called o...

Along with the advancement of technology, educational media is experiencing progress. Traditional learning methods are shifting and being replaced by technology-based learning. One crucial aspect of technological advance...

Not all species are likely to be equally affected by habitat fragmentation; thus, we evaluated theeffects of size of forest remnants on trophically linked communities of plants, leaf-mining insects, and theirparasitoids....

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) plays a crucial role in regulating global and regional climate by distributing heat meridionally across the planet. Future projections indicate a weakening of the AM...

Reciprocal crosses and F1 hybrids revealed maternal effects and heterosis, highlighting the role of genetic background and parent selection in enhancing tomato quality. This study assessed ten tomato genotypes, including...

Brief periods of extreme gravitational transition are anticipated during interplanetary spaceflight, including transitions between microgravity, hypogravity, and hypergravity. Rapid sensorimotor adaptation will occur fol...

Biological soil crusts (BSC) play diverse roles in arid and semi-arid ecosystems such as increasing soil fertility and reducing soil loss due to aeolian and hydric erosion, but they are very sensitive to disturbances. Th...

ABSTRACT Frugivores and zoocoric trees represent an important proportion of tropical rainforest biodiversity. As niche differences favor species coexistence, we aimed to evaluate morphological and temporal niche segregat...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a short-term/extreme temperature abuse (STA) on color characteristics and oxidative stability of aged beef muscles during simulated retail display. Two ...
