Notably, most studies on burnout in Veterinary Medicine have used the Maslach Burnout Inventory; however, it has limitations and does not evaluate severe burnout. Therefore, in this study, we validated the Burnout Assessment Tool-Core Symptoms (BAT-C) in a sample of Spanish veterinarians. Its invariance concerning sex and cutoff points were also calculated using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and Youden's index.

The aim of the current study was to address this literature gap by designing and validating a questionnaire and establishing the cut-off points for identifying veterinarians with high and low levels of stress.
Methods: The study involved two sub-studies with two Spanish samples.
The amputation of a limb in quadrupeds can overload the remaining limbs, especially the contralateral one. The compensatory effort is especially high if it is a forelimb. It is, therefore, important to objectively know the changes in weight redistribution that occur in the animal while walking and standing still.

This process enables efficient injection into the stratosphere of reactive species such as chlorinated very-short-lived substances (Cl-VSLSs) that deplete ozone. Past studies of convective transport associated with the Asian summer monsoon have focused mostly on the south Asian summer monsoon.

- * Findings reveal that increasing temperatures generally decrease species richness of diatoms and invertebrates, but this effect varies by region and is stronger in areas with lower productivity.
- * Increased invertebrate biomass across all regions suggests that tolerant species may compensate for the decline in sensitive species, highlighting the importance of regional conditions in climate impact studies rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all effect.
