Looking beyond the surface: Understanding the role of multiple stressors on the eutrophication status of the Albufera Lake (Valencia, Spain).

Aquatic ecosystems face significant impacts from human-related stressors, demanding a deep understanding of their dynamics and interactions for effective management and restoration. The Albufera Lake (Valencia, Spain) presents a complex scenario of multiple interacting stressors affecting its eutrophic status. In this study, we compiled a 50-year dataset and used Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) to analyse the dynamics of the main stressors affecting the ecological status of the Albufera Lake.

A survey examining the relationship between burnout, professional empowerment, and personality traits of midwives of an inner London NHS Trust.

Introduction: Besides the well-known negative effects on physical and psychological well-being, burnout has been associated with high attrition and absenteeism in the midwifery profession. This study explores whether burnout in midwifery can be explained by the midwives' type of personality and the sense of empowerment they experience at work. Moreover, the study identifies areas of improvement in relation to these topics and elements that can be conducive to strengthening the midwifery workforce.

Biodegradation of Low-Density Polyethylene-LDPE by the Lepidopteran Reusing Beekeeping Waste.

Plastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems of this century because most plastics are single-use, and once their useful life is over, they become pollutants, since their decomposition takes approximately 100-400 years. The objective of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) biodegradation by in the district of Pangoa, Junín, Peru. For the development of the study, the was conditioned in three groups of beekeeping residues (beeswax, balanced diet, and wheat bran); after the conditioning stage, the biodegradation treatment was developed, which consisted of placing the in terrariums with the LDPE, the treatments were carried out at three different times (24, 36, and 48 h).

Remote sensing of cyanobacterial blooms in a hypertrophic lagoon (Albufera of València, Eastern Iberian Peninsula) using multitemporal Sentinel-2 images.

Eutrophy in Albufera of Valencia (Eastern Iberian Peninsula) is a quite old problem since after the intense eutrophication processes throughout the 1960s. The system shifted to a turbid stable state consolidated by the virtual disappearance of macrophytes by the early 1970s. The lagoon has been studied extensively since the 1980s, but efforts to revert the system to a clear state have not yielded the expected results because cultural eutrophication due to the growth of population in its area of influence and the effects of climate change, decreasing rainfall and increasing evaporation.

Temperature Effects Explain Continental Scale Distribution of Cyanobacterial Toxins.

Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.

Air quality monitoring system using lichens as bioindicators in Central Argentina.

Air quality studies with bioindicators have not been well developed in South America. In the city of Córdoba, there are not permanent air pollutant measurements by equipment. In order to develop an air quality biomonitoring system using lichens, we applied a systematic sampling in the city of Córdoba, Argentina.
