Environmental impacts of restructuring the EU's natural gas supply and consumption: Learnings from the 2022 energy crisis.

In 2022, the European Union put forward the REPowerEU plan in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, aiming at enhancing short-term energy security by diversifying imports and reducing natural gas demand while accelerating the deployment of renewable alternatives in the long term. Here, we quantify the life cycle environmental impacts of both REPowerEU's short-term measures, including the controversial extended coal-fired power plant operations, and how the first year of the crisis was managed in practice. We find that the policy measures' impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be negligible, although they could have detrimental effects on other environmental categories.

Background: In a recent randomized trial, six months of financial incentives contingent for recent alcohol abstinence led to lower levels of hazardous drinking, while incentives for recent isoniazid (INH) ingestion had no impact on INH adherence, during TB preventive therapy among persons with HIV (PWH). Whether the short-term incentives influence long-term alcohol use and HIV viral suppression post-intervention is unknown.
Methods: We analyzed twelve-month HIV viral suppression and alcohol use in the Drinkers' Intervention to Prevent Tuberculosis study, a randomized controlled trial among PWH with latent TB and unhealthy alcohol use in south-western Uganda.

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of Levamisole (Leva) in maintaining short-term and long-term remission in early steroid responders (ESRs) and late steroid responders (LSRs).
Methods: This retrospective study on 106 cohorts, aged 2-14 years with frequent-relapsing (FR) and steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) who received Leva over 10-years (2012-2023), was carried out at tertiary care centre, Karachi from January-August 2023. Patients were categorized based on steroid response during first episode of NS as ESRs if complete remission (CR) was achieved within two weeks of daily steroid and LSRs if CR achieved between two-four weeks.
Effectiveness of three machine learning models for prediction of daily streamflow and uncertainty assessment.

This study evaluates three Machine Learning (ML) models-Temporal Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (TKAN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN)-focusing on their capabilities to improve prediction accuracy and efficiency in streamflow forecasting. We adopt a data-centric approach, utilizing large, validated datasets to train the models, and apply SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to enhance the interpretability and reliability of the ML models. The results show that TKAN outperforms LSTM but slightly lags behind TCN in streamflow forecasting.

Global health prioritizes improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. It encompasses a wide range of efforts, including disease prevention and treatment, health promotion, healthcare delivery, and addressing health disparities across borders. Short-term medical and surgical missions often contribute to the global health landscape, especially in low and lower-middle income countries.
