Spatio-temporal dynamics of ecosystem service value functions in response to landscape fragmentation in Boma-Gambella trans-boundary landscape, Southwest Ethiopia and East South Su... by Azemir Berhanu Getahun, Amare Bantider Dagnew, Desalegn Yayeh Ayal

“…Utilizing integrated spatial modeling tools such as ArcGIS 10.7, FRAGSTAT 4.2, and benefit transfer approach, the research analyzes landscape fragmentation and the dynamics of ecosystem service value functions. The findings indicate a significant conversion of natural landscapes, resulting in increased fragmentation, a reduction in ecological land, altered landscape metrics and intensified trade-offs and mismatches in ecosystem service value functions. …”

Effects of preoperative and postoperative resistance exercise interventions on recovery of physical function in patients undergoing abdominal surgery for cancer: a systematic revie... by David Stephensen, Ferhana Hashem, Kevin Corbett, Amanda Bates, Michelle George, Ralph Peter Hobbs, Malcolm Hopkins, Irena Hutchins, David Peter Lowery, Tracy Pellatt-Higgins, Charitini Stavropoulou, Ian Swaine, Lee Tomlinson, Hazel Woodward, Haythem Ali

“…Objective To systematically review the effects of preoperative and postoperative resistance exercise training on the recovery of physical function in patients undergoing abdominal surgery for cancer.Data sources A systematic review of English articles using Medline, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library electronic databases was undertaken.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Studies were included if they used a randomised, quasi-randomised or controlled trial study design and compared the effects of a muscle-strengthening exercise intervention (±other therapy) with a comparative non-exercise group; involved adult participants (≥18 years) who had elected to undergo abdominal surgery for cancer; and used muscle strength, physical function, self-reported functional ability, range of motion and/or a performance-based test as an outcome measure.Results Following screening of titles and abstracts of the 588 publications retrieved from the initial search, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria and were accessed for review of the full-text version of the article, and 2 eligible studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. …”

“…Conversely, alpha event-related synchronization (ERS) in the parietal and occipital regions, as well as ERS in the frontal, central, and temporal regions, were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. The source-functional connectivity results revealed that the primary differences between the experimental and control groups were concentrated between the left V1 and right V1, as well as among the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and primary motor cortex (M1). …”

A Census of the Stellar Populations in the Sco-Cen Complex by K. L. Luhman

“…I have used that cleaner sample to characterize the stellar populations in Sco-Cen in terms of their initial mass functions, ages, and space velocities. For instance, all of the populations in Sco-Cen have histograms of spectral types that peak near M4–M5, which indicates that they share similar characteristic masses for their initial mass functions (∼0.15–0.2 M _⊙ ). …”
