Seismic refraction investigation of the shallow bedrock in New Qena City, Eastern Desert, Egypt.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Aswan Regional Earthquake Research Center, National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), Helwan, Egypt.
The seismic refraction technique has demonstrated its efficiency as a cost-effective geophysical approach for bedrock investigation, which is very important for major construction projects. In the southern part of New Qena City, in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, construction of many domestic facilities is planned. Therefore, a prior investigation focusing on bedrock is required to validate the site for construction and other projects.

Crush trauma of extremities, resulting from a crushing force, can be life-threatening even without involving vital organs. Crush syndrome, or traumatic rhabdomyolysis, occurs when muscle cell breakdown releases contents into the bloodstream, leading to systemic complications like acute renal failure. A 35-year-old woman trapped under rubble during11 hours during a seismic event, presenting with compartment syndrome in her left arm and thigh and crush syndrome.

Chen Institute of Health, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan 610044, China. Electronic address:
To comprehensively assess regional landslide hazards, we propose a geospatial approach that jointly evaluates both the probability of occurrence (susceptibility) and potential destructive power (intensity) within a single framework, overcoming the limitations of previous studies that treated these two disaster scenarios independently. Focusing on the largest landslide event triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake in China, we collected landslide occurrence and count data at the slope unit level, alongside 18 environmental factors, including seismic data. To enable this multi-hazard single-framework evaluation, we employed two Bayesian spatial joint regressions: the spatial shared component model (SSCM) and the spatial shared hyperparameter model (SSHM).

Sci Rep
January 2025
Fourth Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Beihai, 536000, China.
Slab windows represent regions within the mantle that are largely devoid of slab material, facilitating direct communication between the mantle above and below the subducting slab. This unprecedented interaction disrupts the conventional material-energy exchange mechanisms between the subducted slab and mantle wedge, giving rise to anomalous heat flow, distinct magmatism, metamorphism, and geophysical features. Geochemical analyses of samples collected from the southern margin of the Parece-Vela Basin have illuminated the magmatic processes associated with a slab window.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing, Gulhane Faculty of Nursing, University of Health Sciences Turkey, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Women are disproportionately affected by disasters due to their vulnerability and limited access to resources. The purpose of this study is to investigate the health concerns and experiences of women who relocated to a different city following the February 2023 earthquake in Turkey.
Methods: Data was collected using a constructivist qualitative research design.
