We report on the statistical analysis of stratified turbulence forced by large-scale waves. The setup mimics some features of the tidal forcing of turbulence in the ocean interior at submesoscales. Our experiments are performed in the large-scale Coriolis facility in Grenoble which is 13 m in diameter and 1 m deep.

We explore how the average "equator-to-pole" temperature contrast influences the range and the jump distribution of extreme temperature fluctuations, the ratio of the frequencies of rapid cooling and warming events, and the persistence of "weather" in the set-ups. We find simple combinations of the control parameters-temperature gradient, rotation rate and geometric dimensions-which appear to determine certain scaling properties of these statistics, shedding light on the underlying dynamics of the Rossby wave-related elements of the mid-latitude weather variability.

- X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a genetic condition leading to rickets, with prevalence estimates between 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 200,000; study in Australia and New Zealand aimed to better understand its prevalence and characteristics.
- A total of 75 cases in Australia and 18 in New Zealand were identified, revealing a minimum estimated prevalence of 1.33 per 100,000 in Australia and 1.60 per 100,000 in New Zealand, but many cases go undiagnosed until after age 2, impacting treatment and outcomes.
- Common symptoms include leg bowing, bone pain, and short stature, with significant complications like nephrocalc
Objective: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an online guided self-determination (GSD) program to improve diabetes self-management skills among young adults with type 1 diabetes (YAD).
Methods: An online program comprising seven structured interactive conversations was designed. A pre- and post- interventional study used a sequential, two-phase multiple method design.
