Article Synopsis
- Wind energy is important for fighting climate change, but bird collisions with wind turbines can harm bird populations.
- A study using GPS data from 275 raptors in Europe aimed to understand how turbine height and rotor size affect these collision risks.
- Results showed that increasing turbine height decreased collision risk for most birds but increased it for the Short-toed Eagle, while larger rotor diameters increased risks across species, highlighting the need to tailor turbine designs based on local bird populations.
Article Synopsis
- Progress in genetic diagnosis and orphan drug legislation has led to new therapies for rare neurogenetic diseases (RNDs), but challenges remain in academia, regulation, and finances.
- The study aims to create a practical framework for developing patient registries that address these challenges and enhance outcomes in care, research, and drug development for RNDs.
- A comprehensive approach combining literature review, interviews with existing registries, and feedback from various stakeholders was used to ensure the framework meets diverse needs and emphasizes key principles like accessible, independent, and trustworthy data governance.
Men with an extra X chromosome are at risk for social difficulties in which executive functions are known to play an important role. The aim of this study was to examine the potential efficacy of a novel neurocognitive-behavioral treatment program tailored to the specific vulnerabilities of Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY). Social Management Training (SMT) aimed to increase the ability of individuals to regulate their thoughts, emotions and behaviors in ways that are socially adaptive.

Difficulties with language are frequently reported, start from a very young age, and encompass various domains. This cross-sectional study examined social orientation with eye tracking and physiological arousal responses to gain more knowledge on how children perceive and respond to communicative bids and evaluated the associations between social orientation and language outcomes, concurrently and 1 year later.
