Introduction: Deep learning models for detecting episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) using rhythm information in long-term ambulatory ECG recordings have shown high performance. However, the rhythm-based approach does not take advantage of the morphological information conveyed by the different ECG waveforms, particularly the f-waves. As a result, the performance of such models may be inherently limited.

Article Synopsis
  • Geology helps create habitats for different species by affecting the landscape and soil, but human activities are changing these natural conditions.
  • This study focuses on rock hyraxes in central Israel and the West Bank, showing how their numbers have increased with more construction, even though their habitats vary in different locations.
  • Researchers found that new boulders formed from geological changes and human land use created better living conditions for hyraxes, which is important because these animals can spread a disease called leishmaniasis that affects humans.

Article Synopsis
  • Biodiversity offsets are strategies used to balance the negative effects of building or development on nature and wildlife.
  • Experts usually suggest that these offsets should be near the area affected to help similar ecosystems, but sometimes distant offsets are considered.
  • A study on migratory shorebirds showed that while far-off offsets might work better in some cases, there are real risks and challenges in proving they are just as effective as local ones.

Article Synopsis
  • Some animals, like rock hyraxes, are moving into cities because of changes made by people to the land around them.
  • In Israel, rock hyraxes can carry a skin disease called cutaneous leishmaniasis, which causes worry for humans living nearby.
  • Researchers found that these hyraxes use new rocky places created by city building and can even live in messy areas where trash is left behind, helping them spread throughout urban environments.
