Towards understanding climate change impacts: monitoring the vegetation dynamics of terrestrial national parks in Indonesia.

Monitoring vegetation dynamics in terrestrial national parks (TNPs) is crucial for ensuring sustainable environmental management and mitigating the potential negative impacts of short- and long-term disturbances understanding the effect of climate change within natural and protected areas. This study aims to monitor the vegetation dynamics of TNPs in Indonesia by first categorizing them into the regions of Sumatra, Jawa, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Eastern Indonesia and then applying ready-to-use MODIS EVI time-series imageries (MOD13Q1) taken from 2000 to 2022 on the GEE cloud-computing platform. Specifically, this research investigates the greening and browning fraction trends using Sen's slope, considers seasonality by analyzing the maximum and minimum EVI values, and assesses anomalous years by comparing the annual time series and long-term median EVI value.

Dynamic brain functional states associated with inhibition control under different altitudes.

Chronic exposure to the hypobaric hypoxia environment of plateau could influence human cognitive behaviours which are supported by dynamic brain connectivity states. Until now, how functional connectivity (FC) of the brain network changes with altitudes is still unclear. In this article, we used EEG data of the Go/NoGo paradigm from Weinan (347 m) and Nyingchi (2950 m).

COPD has also become a leading CAD comorbidity, although again little is known about its interactions. This meta-analysis explored COPD prevalence in the global CAD population, as well as the influence of COPD on CAD.

The downregulation of SCGN induced by lipotoxicity promotes NLRP3-mediated β-cell pyroptosis.

Lipotoxicity is a well-established phenomenon that could exacerbate damage to islet β-cells and play a significant role in the development of type 2 diabetes, the underlying mechanisms of which, however, remain unclear. In lipotoxic conditions, secretagogin (SCGN), an EF-hand calcium-binding protein abundantly expressed in islets, is found to undergo downregulation. In light of this, we aim to explore the role of SCGN in lipotoxicity-induced β-cell injury.
