Threatened North African seagrass meadows have supported green turtle populations for millennia.

is the second official aim of the current UN Ocean Decade (2021 to 2030) calling for the identification and protection of critical marine habitats. However, data to inform policy are often lacking altogether or confined to recent times, preventing the establishment of long-term baselines. The unique insights gained from combining bioarchaeology (palaeoproteomics, stable isotope analysis) with contemporary data (from satellite tracking) identified habitats which sea turtles have been using in the Eastern Mediterranean over five millennia.

Ancient mitogenomes of Phoenicians from Sardinia and Lebanon: A story of settlement, integration, and female mobility.

The Phoenicians emerged in the Northern Levant around 1800 BCE and by the 9th century BCE had spread their culture across the Mediterranean Basin, establishing trading posts, and settlements in various European Mediterranean and North African locations. Despite their widespread influence, what is known of the Phoenicians comes from what was written about them by the Greeks and Egyptians. In this study, we investigate the extent of Phoenician integration with the Sardinian communities they settled.

[Palliative geriatrics. What are the differences between oncologic and non-oncologic palliative geriatric inpatients?].

Aim Of The Study: Analysis of differences between oncologic and non-oncologic patients in the first German hospital-based special care unit for palliative geriatrics.

[Nurse turnover: A differential analysis of the predictors for intent to change the job and intent to leave the profession].

In a cross-sectional questionnaire study predictors for the intent to leave the nursing profession on the one hand and predictors for the intent to change the job within the nursing profession on the other hand are examined. Data were collected by a national survey of nursing personnel in Germany. The sample of the study consists of 454 nurses working in acute care hospitals.

Generation of GW radiation pulses from a VUV free-electron laser operating in the femtosecond regime.

Experimental results are presented from vacuum-ultraviolet free-electron laser (FEL) operating in the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) mode. The generation of ultrashort radiation pulses became possible due to specific tailoring of the bunch charge distribution. A complete characterization of the linear and nonlinear modes of the SASE FEL operation was performed.
