Utility of UAS-LIDAR for estimating forest structural attributes of the Miombo woodlands in Zambia.
PLoS One

The ability to collect precise three-dimensional (3D) forest structural information at a fraction of the cost of airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) makes uncrewed aerial systems-lidar (UAS-lidar) a remote sensing tool with high potential for estimating forest structural attributes for enhanced forest management. The estimation of forest structural data in area-based forest inventories relies on the relationship between field-based estimates of forest structural attributes (FSA) and lidar-derived metrics at plot level, which can be modeled using either parametric or non-parametric regression techniques. In this study, the performance of UAS-lidar metrics was assessed and applied to estimate four FSA (above ground biomass (AGB), basal area (BA), diameter at breast height (DBH), and volume (Vol)) using multiple linear regression (MLR), a parametric technique, at two wet Miombo woodland sites in the Copperbelt province of Zambia.

Background: The Munich Security Conference 2024 highlighted the complex connections between climate change and global security risks. Engaging students in fighting climate change is a stepping stone to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Aim: To investigate the effect of a video-based climate change program on revitalising eco-cognizance, emotional response, and self-efficacy among nursing students in rural communities.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant, chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, and other cellular therapies as stepping stones toward long-term improvement in severe scleroderma and other autoimmune diseases.

Preclinical models of inherited and induced autoimmune diseases (AIDs) have shown that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) following high-dose immunosuppressive conditioning could reverse organ damage and alter the course of AIDs. The rationale for both autologous and allogeneic HSCT has been based upon a reset of the immune system. Clinical application of HSCT was initially focused on severe systemic sclerosis (SSc) and three randomized trials comparing autologous HSCT with standard cyclophosphamide (CY) demonstrated significant improvement in SSc measured 12-54 months after transplant.

Strategic use of male alternative reproductive tactics in cooperatively breeding banded mongoose groups.

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) allow less competitive individuals to reproduce by avoiding direct fights through sneaky strategies. Within cooperatively breeding groups ARTs are rarely reported, potentially owing to observational difficulties or reproductive suppression by group members. In societies where mating opportunities cannot be monopolized by one male, young males could use sneaky tactics as an intermediate 'stepping-stone' tactic to gain limited reproductive success while growing in resource-holding potential (RHP).
