Spatiotemporal Changes and Trade-Offs/Synergies of Ecosystem Services in the Qin-Mang River Basin by Jiwei Zhao, Luyao Wang, Dong Jia, Yaowen Wang

“…The results show that: (1) driven by urbanization and economic development, the expansion of built-up areas has replaced cultivated land and forests, with 35,000 hectares of farmland lost, thereby increasing pressure on ESs; (2) ESs show an overall downward trend, habitat quality (HQ) has deteriorated, carbon storage (CS) remains stable but the area of low CS has expanded, and sediment delivery ratio (SDR) and water yield (WY) fluctuate due to human activities and climate influence; (3) the TOSs of ESs change dynamically, with strong synergies among HQ, CS, and SDR. …”

“I definitely cannot afford to be feeling poorly if there’s no need to be”: a qualitative evaluation of antiviral uptake following suspected occupational exposure to avian influenz... by Riinu Pae, Lucy Findlater, Richard Amlôt, Fernando Capelastegui, Gavin Dabrera, Clare Humphreys, Jharna Kumbang, Isabel Oliver

“…Results Although participants saw avian influenza as a severe disease, most did not consider themselves susceptible to it because they felt safe in personal protective equipment and knew that bird-to-human transmission was rare. The biggest barrier to uptake and adherence was experiencing side effects, especially if these disrupted day-to-day life or work. …”
