Intercomparison of EPR-dosimetric techniques using tooth enamel had been performed in order to check whether the results produced by different laboratories are consistent and accurate. Participants were supposed to evaluate doses applied to pulverized enamel samples, using routine techniques from their laboratories. The intercomparison has demonstrated a great variety of methods used for dose reconstruction. Peculiarities of experimental approaches are discussed systematically in terms of procedure for recording the EPR-spectra, determination of the amplitude of the radiation induced signal, determination of the dose, and error propagation.

Background: Mobility is a key social determinant of health for female sex workers (FSWs). While extant research has focused on the adverse effects of mobility for FSWs, there are very few studies that have examined the multiple ways in which mobility may impact the lives of these mobile women from their perspective. This qualitative study aims to fill this gap by exploring how mobility impacts the lives, livelihoods, and HIV care and treatment from the perspectives of women living with HIV in two epidemic settings, the Dominican Republic and Tanzania.

Background: In a context of environmental monitoring around installations related to the nuclear fuel cycle, the Diffusive Gradient in Thin-films (DGT) technique captures the integrated concentration of U isotopes in their native environment, yielding comprehensive data on U origin (anthropogenic vs natural), total concentration, and mobility. However, for common deployment times (4-5 days) in moderately basic waters, none of the commercially available binding gels is adapted to measure the total U concentration. So, the development of novel DGT binding gels is timely.

Background: In 2021, a Technical Meeting was hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) where it was recommended that a standardized method for assessing the accuracy of film dose calculations should be established.
Purpose: To design an audit that evaluates the accuracy of film dosimetry processes. To propose a framework for identifying out-of-tolerance results and to perform an international pilot study to test the audit design.
[Spatiotemporal variations and attribution analysis of reference evapotranspiration in the Fenwei Plain under climate change].

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding how reference crop evapotranspiration (ET) changes due to climate change, particularly in the Fenwei Plain, through historical and future periods (1985-2015 and 2030-2060).
- It employs data from the Sixth International Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) to analyze the trends, spatial distribution, and meteorological factors influencing ET, finding that a multi-model approach predicts ET changes more accurately than a single model.
- Results indicate a significant decreasing trend in ET historically, with future predictions showing either a non-significant or significant increase depending on climate scenarios, with vapor pressure deficit being the primary factor affecting these changes.
