Background: CNSLBP accounts for 85% of all LBP cases and impairs physical health, quality of life, and work productivity, posing a significant health and economic burden. Baduanjin (BDJ) exercises are traditional Chinese Qi Gong mind-body exercises that have been practiced for over 1,000 years. However, the standard BDJ protocol established by the State Sports General Administration does not stimulate core muscles, limiting the effectiveness of low back pain rehabilitation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the original BDJ protocol.
Methods: This 24-week single-center, single-blind, parallel-group randomized control superiority trial will allocate 100 patients into two groups (control and intervention) at a 1:1 ratio. The patients in the control group will perform the standard BDJ protocol established by the State Sports General Administration. The patients in the patients in the control group will perform the standard BDJ protocol established by the State Sports General Administration. The intervention group will perform intervention. The primary outcomes will be Quebec back pain disability scale. Secondary outcomes will include visual analog scale pain scores, Surface electromyography. The assessments of the tests will be performed at four time points. Adverse events will be recorded faithfully during the study.
Discussion: This randomized control trial is the first to compare a standard BDJ protocol and an optimized protocol in patients with CNSLBP. This study can help guide rehabilitation programs.
Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2200065618, Registered on 10 Nov. 2022. This protocol is the first version 1, which was approved on 26 Aug 2022.

Article Synopsis
- Urbanization negatively impacts natural ecosystems, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation, but urban green spaces can support biodiversity, especially for threatened species like wild bees.
- A study in Rome identified 208 wild bee species, with one endangered and seven near-threatened species, highlighting the city's importance as a biodiversity hotspot for these pollinators.
- The research also documented new findings for 24 bee species in Rome and detailed the composition and abundance of bee families, emphasizing the ecological importance of urban nature reserves.

The ecological landscape of Caribbean reefs is rapidly changing as octocorals fill the void left by declining scleractinian populations. Effective molecular barcodes are necessary to accurately identify these octocorals and monitor this shifting ecosystem. We tested the efficacy of the as a barcode compared to the most commonly used barcode on a collection of octocorals from across the Caribbean.

The second part of this series guides dental care professionals in addressing the specific needs of individuals with autism. The paper explores risk factors, including trauma and oral disease, and offers an overview of strategies for prevention and management, with an appreciation that children and adult services use different resources and approaches to care may vary. We describe a tailored approach to accommodate sensory sensitivities and communication difficulties, and the importance of capacity assessment and best interest considerations.

Background: The long-term monitoring of the plant cover of Doñana shrublands is part of a harmonised protocol for the Long-term Ecological Monitoring Programme of Natural Resources and Processes targeting Terrestrial Vegetation. The general aim of this protocol is to monitor and assess the dynamics and trends of shrubland plant communities in Doñana. For shrublands, percentage cover is recorded annually, starting in 2008, by the Doñana Long-Term Monitoring Team in one field sampling campaign per year during the flowering season (between March and May) across 21 permanent square plots (15 m x 15 m).
