An open and lite technoeconomic dataset and assumptions for open energy, emissions and mitigation modeling in the Republic of South Africa.

This article provides a large-scale dataset for South African energy system modeling intended to aid long-term energy planning. The dataset, which is accessible on Zenodo, contains comprehensive data on installed capacity, resource potentials, historical and projected electricity production and consumption, capacity factors, and capital, fixed, and variable costs. The data was rigorously collected from national institutions, international organizations, and scholarly journals and organized into an easy-to-use Excel workbook.

The global and national energy systems techno-economic (GNESTE) database: Cost and performance data for electricity generation and storage technologies.

Power sector and energy systems models are widely used to explore the impacts of demographic, socio-economic or policy changes on the cost and emissions of electricity generation. Technology cost and performance data are essential inputs to such models. Despite the ubiquity and importance of these parameters, there is no standardised database which collates the variety of values from across the literature, so modellers must collect them independently each time they populate or update model inputs, leading to duplicated efforts and inconsistencies which can profoundly influence model results.

Early autologous and/or allogeneic stem cell transplantation for adult patients with advanced stage T- lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma or Burkitt lymphoma. A retrospective single-centre analysis.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) are uncommon, highly aggressive diseases originating either from immature precursor T cells or from mature B cells in BL. We retrospectively analyzed the outcome of an early autologous and/or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) concept in 28 patients with advanced stage T-ALL/LBL and BL after three to four remission induction/consolidation chemotherapy cycles. Considering only patients in first complete remission (CR), the 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) was 91% in patients with BL and 73% in patients with T-ALL/LBL with a 5-year relapse incidence (RI) of 9% in patients with BL and 27% in patients with T-ALL/LBL.

Treatment Patterns in Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Retrospective Observational Health Claims Data Study.

(1) Background: Achieving inactive disease decreases long-term joint damage in patients with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (polyJIA). The aim of our study was to describe average time to treatment and medication changes over time. (2) Methods: Incident polyJIA patients were retrospectively identified in the InGef and WIG2 longitudinal health claims databases.

Assessment of the water-energy-food nexus in the life cycle of energy products.

Given the urgent need to achieve energy security and transition from conventional to renewable energy sources, the energy sector is expanding rapidly. However, this growth often involves trade-offs with food and water resources. One way to address this complex interplay is to adopt the Water-Energy-Food nexus within a Life Cycle Assessment.
