Purpose: To investigate the temperature changes at multiple sites within bulk-fill resin composites and in the pulp chamber during photopolymerization in the tooth cavity.
Methods: Class 1 cavities (n = 5) prepared in extracted third molars were filled with SureFil SDR Flow, a newly developed bulk-fill composite. After securing the specimens in a water bath at 36.5 degrees C, eight thermocouples were used to measure the temperature at the bottom center (BC), middle center (MC), top center (TC), bottom edge (BE), middle edge (ME), and top edge (TE) of the restoration; the pulpal aspect of the dentin (PD); and the center of the curing light tip (CL) during photopolymerization.
Results: The maximum temperature values (degrees C) differed among the measurement sites. TC exhibited the greatest temperature increase (72.3 ± 2.4), followed by MC, BC, TE, TE, ME, CL, and BE. The lowest temperature was observed at PD (41.1 ± 1.9). The peak temperatures within the composite were observed during the early stage of light-curing, while CL and PD exhibited the highest temperature at the end stage of light-curing.

Cold acclimation and vernalization represent the major evolutionary adaptive responses to ensure winter survival of temperate plants. Due to climate change, mild winters can paradoxically worsen plant winter survival due to cold deacclimation induced by warm periods during winter. It seems that the ability of cold reacclimation in overwintering Triticeae cereals is limited, especially in vernalized plants.

Street and park trees often endure harsher conditions, including increased temperatures and drier soil and air, than those found in urban or natural forests. These conditions can lead to shorter lifespans and a greater vulnerability to dieback. This literature review aimed to identify confirmed causes of street and park tree dieback in urban areas from around the world.

Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus (DENV), poses a significant global health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Recent increases in indigenous DENV cases in Europe are concerning, reflecting rising incidence linked to climate change and the spread of mosquitoes. These vectors thrive under environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, which are increasingly influenced by climate change.

Bluetongue virus (BTV) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) are vector-borne orbiviruses that pose an emerging threat to livestock, including cattle and sheep. This review summarizes the global distribution, genetic diversity, and key factors driving their spread along with the existing knowledge gaps and recommendations to mitigate their impact. Both viruses cause hemorrhagic disease in susceptible ruminants and are commonly reported in tropical and subtropical regions including North America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and some parts of Europe.
