Background: The aim of the study was to investigate what characterizes IHCAs that take place during the "day" (Monday-Friday 7 am-3 pm), "evening" (Monday-Friday 3 pm-9 pm) and "night" (Monday-Friday 9 pm-7 am and Saturday-Sunday 12 am- 11.59 pm).

Methods: We used the Swedish Registry for CPR (SRCR) to study 26,595 patients from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2019. Adult patients ≥18 years with a IHCA where resuscitation was initiated were included. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate associations between temporal factors and survival to 30 days.

Results: 30-day survival and Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) was 36.8% and 67.9% following CA during the day and decreased during the evening (32.0% and 66.3%) and night (26.2% and 60.2%) (p < 0.001 and p = 0.028). When comparing the survival rates between the day and the night, survival decreased more (change in relative survival rates) in small (<99 beds) compared to large (<400) hospitals (35.9% vs 25%), in non-academic vs academic hospitals (33.5% vs 22%) and on non-Electro Cardiogram (ECG)-monitored wards vs ECG-monitored wards (46.2% vs 20.9%) (p < 0.001 for all). IHCAs that took place during the day (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) 1.47 95% CI 1.35-1.60), in academic hospitals (aOR 1.14 95% CI 1.02-1.27) and in large (>400 beds) hospitals (aOR 1.31 95% CI 1.10-1.55) were independently associated with an increased chance of survival.

Conclusions: Patients suffering an IHCA have an increased chance of survival during the day vs the evening vs night, and the difference in survival is even more pronounced when cared for at smaller, non-academic hospitals, general wards and wards without ECG-monitoring capacity.

Improving the understanding of rainfall-runoff processes: Temporal dynamic of event runoff response in Loess Plateau, China.

Enhancing the understanding of the rainfall-runoff temporal dynamics in semi-arid and semi-humid regions is crucial for flood disaster mitigation. Loess Plateau is a unique environment within semi-arid and semi-humid regions, characterized by its deep loess soil, prevalent short-duration intense rainfall, and changes in underlying surface conditions. In this research, 25 catchments from the Loess Plateau were chosen to examine the temporal variations in event runoff responses across different time scales.

The global increase of overweight and obesity in children and adults is one of the most prominent public health threats, often accompanied by insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The simultaneous occurrence of these health problems is referred to as metabolic syndrome. Various criteria have been proposed to define this syndrome, but no general consensus on the specific markers and the respective cut-offs has been achieved yet.

For change detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, amplitude change detection (ACD) and coherent change detection (CCD) are widely employed. However, time-series SAR data often contain noise and variability introduced by system and environmental factors, requiring mitigation. Additionally, the stability of SAR signals is preserved when calibration accounts for temporal and environmental variations.

Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an important indicator to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of water vapor. A high spatial and temporal resolution of atmospheric precipitable water can be obtained using ground-based GNSS, but its inversion accuracy is usually limited by the weighted mean temperature, Tm. For this reason, based on the data of 17 ground-based GNSS stations and water vapor reanalysis products over 2 years in the Hong Kong region, a new model for water vapor inversion without the Tm parameter is established by deep learning in this paper, the research results showed that, compared with the PWV information calculated by the traditional model using Tm parameter, the accuracy of the PWV retrieved by the new model proposed in this paper is higher, and its accuracy index parameters BIAS, MAE, and RMSE are improved by 38% on average.

Under regional environmental conditions such as open-pit mines and construction sites, there are usually fixed GNSS measurement points. Around these fixed stations, there are also mobile GNSS measurement modules. These mobile measurement modules offer advantages such as low power consumption, low cost, and large data volume.
