This article presents a study of the impacts caused by Fundão dam failure in buildings from Gesteira district, Barra Longa city, Brazil. The analyzed dataset was built using technical reports from surveys carried out in 152 buildings. Principal component analysis was capable of explain the interdependence of data variable and allowed conditions of understand the consequences and evidenced pathologies. Heavy vehicle traffic caused more damage (57% of buildings) to the studied buildings than the contact with the tailing mud (43% of buildings).

Resilience is a key feature of ecosystem dynamics reflecting a system's ability to resist and recover from environmental perturbations. Slowing down in the rate of recovery has been used as an early-warning signal for abrupt transitions. Recent advances in Earth observation (EO) vegetation data provide the capability to capture broad-scale resilience patterns and identify regions experiencing resilience loss.

The paper explores the accuracy of gender and age prediction of human subjects based on the chemometric analysis of FTIR spectra from fingernails. The baseline and scaling over the 0-1 range were applied to FTIR spectra from fingernails of 123 subjects, and wavenumbers for which absorbance values showed a statistically significant correlation with gender and age were identified. The prediction accuracy was analyzed using: Multiple linear regression, Forward stepwise regression, Backward stepwise regression, Principal component regression, and Partial least squares regression.

Background: The high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry is dependent on supportive policies and requires higher levels of coordination and integration. National and local government policies must coordinate the integrated development of the TCM industry under modern governance principles. However, the policy structure and its impact on the development of the TCM industry have not been thoroughly explored from the perspectives of policy design and empirical evidence.

Background: Although significant progress has been made in the health status of Chinese citizens, disparities are still strikingly evident. This paper reveals the interconnection between social deprivation and the health of the Chinese population using the latest census data, and delves into the impact of social deprivation on health outcomes.
Methods: To assess social deprivation, this study selected 14 indicators from six domains: income, employment, education, housing condition, housing area, and demographic structure.
