Pathways Through Which Green Exposure Type Influences Cardiovascular Diseases Mortality in Shanghai, China by Jianzhong HUANG, Yanting XU, Lan WANG, Zhouqian HE

“…Therefore, there is a need to conduct research on the influence of urban green exposure on CVDs mortality at the street level.MethodsThis research uses the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze how different types of green exposure (vegetation cover, park accessibility, street green visibility, and park area per capita) influence cardiovascular disease mortality in 212 communities in Shanghai, China. The model incorporates three key mediating factors: Air pollution (measured by PM2.5 concentration), extreme high temperature, and physical activity level. …”

Precipitation changes alter the structure, species composition and interspecific relationships of desert steppe plant communities by Kechen Song, Hao Zhang, Haiying Hu, Yingzhong Xie, Xiaona Zhao, Yiyin Zhang, Jiayi Yong, Wenhui Deng, Siyu Guan

“…Results showed that (1) The desert grassland plant community exhibited an asymmetric response to precipitation amount and seasonal variatt steppe ecosystems, interspecific connectivity reflecion, where the impact of late-spring precipitation on the quantitative traits, importance values (IV), and mean niche overlap of communities was greater than that of mid-summer and late-summer precipitation, and the effects of decreased precipitation were more significant than those of increased precipitation. (2) The niche of perennial plants did not change with the season, while the IV and ecological niche width (B) of annual plants increased as the seasons passed. (3) Decreased precipitation reduced the mean niche overlap of all species, the B of Leguminosae plants, and the IV of all species except for Stipa breviflora and Convolvulus ammannii. (4) The overall association index indicated a positive correlation among communities, showing significant correlations in P+50 %, P−30 %, and P−50 %. …”

MLDFNet: A Multilabel Dual-Flow Network for Change Detection in Bitemporal Remote Sensing Images by Daniyaer Sidekejiang, Panpan Zheng, Liejun Wang

“…With the development of deep learning (DL) in recent years, numerous remote sensing image change detection (CD) networks have emerged. However, existing DL-based CD networks still face two significant issues: 1) the lack of adequate supervision during the encoding process; and 2) the coupling of overall information with edge information. …”

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome and systemic inflammation in pathogenesis of hemodynamic changes at liver cirrhosis by R. V. Maslennikov, A. A. Driga, K. V. Ivashkin, M. S. Zharkova, M. V. Mayevskaya, Ch. S. Pavlov, M. G. Arslanyan, N. B. Musina, Ye. N. Berezina, V. T. Ivashkin

“…LC patients with SIBO as compared to LC patients without SIBO had lower mean blood pressure (82.7±9.0 mm Hg vs 92.0±14.0 mm Hg) and TPVR (16.4±4.4 mm Hg × min/l vs 21.3±5.3 mm Hg • min/l), higher CO (5.38±1.41 l/min vs 4.52±1.03 l/ min) and serum C-rp (SIBO - 1.2÷10.5÷16.5 mg/l vs 0.6÷2.8÷9.1 mg/l). The presence of SIBO led to similar changes only at decompensated LC. …”
