The continuous monitoring of environmental noise levels is deemed necessary, such in the strategic noise mapping or in the cohort studies. The environmental noise levels can be measured and analysed with the aid of various methods. In this article presents the method recommended by the European Union (EU). The data contain the road traffic noise level measurements in the Greater Thessaloniki area, Greece. The L noise measurements carried out at two different locations, the Urban Highway-Hot Spot area and the Residential area, for a 3 year measurement period. Also, the analysis was based on the environmental noise indicators L, L, L, L.

All-Fiber Multicomponent Gas Raman Probe Based on Platinum-Coated Capillary Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.
ACS Sens

National Engineering Research Center of Fiber Optic Sensing Technology and Networks, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China.
This paper presents a compact all-fiber multicomponent gas Raman probe using a dual-fiber architecture within a platinum-coated capillary. The probe eliminates the need for conventional optical components like filters and dichroic mirrors by strategically employing metal coating on the excitation fiber's surface to suppress interference signals. A detailed analysis of the silica Raman signal and fluorescence propagation within the system facilitated this design.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following general anesthesia, particularly in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries. This study aims to evaluate the effect of intraoperative noise isolation on PONV incidence.
Method: This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial will enroll 192 adult patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
SAR remote sensing image segmentation based on feature enhancement.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are crucial in remote sensing due to their ability to capture high-quality images regardless of environmental conditions. Though it has been studied for years, the following aspects still limit its further improvement. (1) Due to the unique imaging mechanism of SAR images, the influence of speckle noise cannot be avoided.

We aimed to test whether hearing speech in phonetic categories (as opposed to a continuous/gradient fashion) affords benefits to "cocktail party" speech perception. We measured speech perception performance (recognition, localization, and source monitoring) in a simulated 3D cocktail party environment. We manipulated task difficulty by varying the number of additional maskers presented at other spatial locations in the horizontal soundfield (1-4 talkers) and via forward vs.

Department for Air Quality and Noise, Divison for Climate and Environmental Health.
Aim: This editorial presents state of the art developments in research and policy in the newly emerging field of climate and health and examines the gaps in research, the relevance of Nordic research in a global context, and the need to place the climate-health agenda in the policy space.
Methods: We use a set of articles from the Special Issue on 'Climate change and health in the Nordic countries' in this journal to understand current research in climate and health. We identify three emerging areas that characterize the current focus of research: modelling climate change-induced exposures; health cross-linkages of the climate health agenda and targeted communication.
