The paper describes and presents a new calculation strategy for the determination of the aircraft's resultant position using the GPS (Global Positioning System) SPP (Single Point Positioning) code method. The paper developed a concept of using the weighted average model with the use of measuring weights to improve the quality of determination of the coordinates and accuracy of GPS SPP positioning. In this research, measurement weights were used as a function of the number of GPS satellites being tracked, and geometric PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) coefficient. The calculations were made using navigation data recorded by two independent GPS receivers: Thales Mobile Mapper and Topcon HiPerPro. On the basis of the obtained results, it was found that the RMS (Root Mean Square) accuracy of positioning for XYZ geocentric coordinates was better than 1.2% to 33.7% for the weighted average method compared to a single GPS SPP solution. The proposed approach is therefore of practical application in air navigation to improve the quality of aircraft positioning.

Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, shapes important group-level processes such as subgroup formation and fission-fusion dynamics. Although critical to animal sociality, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing cohesion remains a gap in our knowledge of cooperative behavior in animals.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how predator hunting strategies (stalking by cougars and coursing by wolves) affect the movement behaviors of both predators and their ungulate prey in eastern Washington.
- Using hidden Markov models on data from over 400 GPS-collared animals, researchers found that while predators adjusted their movements based on prey type, ungulates reduced their movement in areas with large predators, regardless of the predator's strategy.
- The results indicate that predator and prey movements are influenced more by long-term patterns of risk and resource distribution than by specific hunting behaviors, highlighting the complexity of interactions in multi-predator, multi-prey systems.
Disentangling social, environmental, and zoonotic transmission pathways of a gastrointestinal protozoan (Blastocystis spp.) in northeast Madagascar.

Objectives: Understanding disease transmission is a fundamental challenge in ecology. We used transmission potential networks to investigate whether a gastrointestinal protozoan (Blastocystis spp.) is spread through social, environmental, and/or zoonotic pathways in rural northeast Madagascar.

Article Synopsis
- Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a valuable global crop, particularly in South Korea, where it faces significant economic losses due to anthracnose caused by various Colletotrichum species.
- In August 2022, unusual symptoms like sunken black lesions were observed on chili fruits in Yereonggwang, affecting about 1% of the fruits in a tested area.
- To identify the pathogen, fruits were collected and treated to isolate fungi, leading to five isolates identified as Colletotrichum spp., with their characteristics matching reported features of C. sojae.
Gingival phenotype classification by visual and probe visibility assessments: Relationship with thickness and probe design.

Background: This study investigated the agreement among dentists in classifying gingival phenotype (GP) through periodontal probe visibility (PPV) assessment with various probe types and the visual method. Additionally, the relationship between GP classifications and gingival thickness (GT) was evaluated.
Methods: Photographs were taken with standard periodontal probe (SPP), color-coded periodontal probe (CCPP) tips in white, green, and blue, as well as metal phenotype probe (MPP) tips in gray and black.
