Summary: This study proposes an exposure protocol that takes into account the particle-specific properties and dynamic behavior of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs). It describes the production and characterization of more realistic MNPs as well as the development of toxicity tests in soil and aquatic environments. The protocol can be applied by students, academics, environmental risk assessors, and industries.

Summary: This study aimed to develop core and optional recommended domains for evaluating and describing osteoarthritis management programs (OAMPs). A 3-round Delphi survey was conducted with international researchers, health professionals, and people with osteoarthritis. The ability to participate in daily activities was identified as a core domain, and 25 domains were recommended as optional. When evaluating OAMPs, it is important to include the recommended domains based on stakeholder priorities and local context.

Summary: This study assesses the combined toxic effects of cadmium (Cd) and aniline using a bacterial consortium as a model system. The results show that the consortial bacteria have stronger tolerance to Cd and aniline compared to single species. The joint toxicity of Cd and aniline displays a concentration-dependent behavior. Aniline retards the cellular accumulation of Cd and increases enzymatic activities. The bacterial community undergoes compositional changes under single and combined toxicities.

Summary: Capabilities to directly assimilate radar data are implemented in the LETKF and LGETKF algorithms of the JEDI system. The performance of these implementations is compared to the EnSRF algorithm in the GSI framework, showing comparable results in analysis and short-range forecast. The JEDI LETKF algorithm demonstrates better parallel scalability than LGETKF and GSI EnSRF.

Summary: This study investigates the health effects of particulate matter by measuring the real-time changes in breath-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results show significant changes in breath-borne VOCs in rats exposed to water-soluble PM suspension filtrates, which can differentiate the toxicity of different PMs and categorize cities based on their health effects. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of PM toxicity and the early signs of potential diseases.

Summary: This study investigated how to provide active support through a robotic-assisted exoskeleton by adjusting assistance based on electromyographic signals (EMG) to facilitate post-stroke rehabilitation. The proposed closed-loop system effectively modulated exoskeleton movements based on EMG readings, maintaining a reference tracking error of less than 5%.

Summary: The Mediterranean Basin is a critical area for plant diversity conservation, and efforts have been made to prevent species extinction and improve conservation status. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has launched a new tool called the Green Status of Species to assess the impact of conservation actions on plant species. This tool assigns species to recovery categories and provides standardized methods to evaluate the impact of past and future conservation on species status and recovery. Using this tool would be highly useful for directing future conservation policies in the Mediterranean area.

Summary: Alternative methods to animal use in toxicology are evolving, offering relevant and valid tests for drugs and chemicals. Integrated Approaches for Testing and Assessment (IATA) is a new strategy for solving complex toxicological endpoints, which requires the integration of diverse evidence streams.

Summary: Although testing effort estimation is crucial in software project management, it is rarely discussed in the literature. In this study, a systematic literature review was conducted to fill this research gap and provide a comprehensive overview of testing effort estimation and its relation to other fields.

Summary: This paper updated a systematic review from 2018 to identify and compare ad hoc designed frameworks for genetic testing evaluation. The study found 30 frameworks, mainly based on the ACCE model, and called for consensus on the assessment of genetic testing. The authors recommended using a general HTA approach, particularly the EUnetHTA HTA core model, for a comprehensive evaluation of genetic and genomic applications.
