Article Synopsis
- Trait-based ecology traditionally focuses on broad axes of trait variation, but this study emphasizes the importance of intraspecific trait variability (ITV) in understanding plant adaptive strategies.
- By analyzing ITV across 167 species in various habitats in Italy, the research showed that ITV can rotate the axes of trait variation, enhance the variance explained by these axes, and influence the functional structure of trait space, albeit with small and context-dependent effects.
- The findings call for a careful approach in applying ITV patterns to different traits and environments, providing a framework to better integrate ITV into future trait space analyses.
: There is minimal information regarding sleep disturbance and burnout during COVID-19 in nurses working within haematology-oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) settings.: To identify socio-demographic and professional factors that predicted burnout and sleep disturbance during COVID-19 in nurses working in HSCT settings.: Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.

CAR-T cellular therapy represents an innovation within pediatric hematology and oncology used to treat relapse and refractory leukemias, solid tumors, and lymphomas when standard therapy has not worked. However, this type of therapy could lead to the onset of some clinical complications that must be managed appropriately and promptly.

We used a cross-sectional multilevel study to examine associations of WE with IMRs across 286 cities in seven Latin American countries. We estimated IMRs for 2014-2016 period and combined city socioeconomic indicators into factors reflecting living conditions and service provision.

- Celery is a biennial herb from the Apiaceae family, primarily grown in humid environments across the Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia, yet there is limited research on its various cultivars.
- The study focuses on four Italian celery types (two common and two black), aiming to determine if FT-IR spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods can effectively differentiate between these ecotypes.
- Results showed that using the SPORT classifier achieved a 90% classification accuracy on a test set of 100 samples, demonstrating the potential of this method for identifying celery types based on their unique characteristics.
