Mental Health in the Shadow of Crisis: Psychological Interventions as a Public Health Priority by Maryam Shakiba

“…In the wake of recent armed conflicts across various regions, the global public health community is once again reminded of the profound and far-reaching consequences of war—not only on physical well-being, but on mental health as well. While the direct trauma of war afflicts those within the conflict zones, its psychological ripple effects are felt much farther: among refugees, in host countries, and even among populations indirectly exposed through continuous media coverage¹,². …”

Transposition of HOPPLA in siRNA-deficient plants suggests a limited effect of the environment on retrotransposon mobility in Brachypodium distachyon. by Michael Thieme, Nikolaos Minadakis, Christophe Himber, Bettina Keller, Wenbo Xu, Kinga Rutowicz, Calvin Matteoli, Marcel Böhrer, Bart Rymen, Debbie Laudencia-Chingcuanco, John P Vogel, Richard Sibout, Christoph Stritt, Todd Blevins, Anne C Roulin

“…Yet, the uncontrolled and potentially selfish proliferation of LTR-RTs can lead to deleterious mutations and genome instability, with large fitness costs for their host. While population genomics data suggest that an ongoing LTR-RT mobility is common in many species, the understanding of their dual role in evolution is limited. …”

Numerical Simulation Studies of Ultrasonic De-Icing for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Structures by Hongbin Sun, Praveen Cheekatamarla

“…Results from simulations on a plate structure reveal that ultrasonic excitation can propagate effectively across large areas (at least 150 × 150 mm), enhancing the de-icing coverage. Lower frequency (e.g., 30 to 45 kHz) excitation results in greater displacement, improving de-icing performance, while increased actuator numbers with the same total power input also enhance effectiveness. …”
