Summary: Little is known about the movements and seasonal occurrence of humpback whales in South Africa and the Antarctic. This study investigated the seasonal occurrence and diel-vocalizing pattern of humpback whale songs in these regions using acoustic monitoring data. The study found that humpback whale songs were present in South African waters from June to December, with a peak occurrence in September/October. In Antarctic waters, songs were detected from March to May and in July, with a peak occurrence in April. Humpback whales were more active at night and the distance to sea ice extent influenced their acoustic occurrence.

Summary: This article proposes a systematic solution called Radar-Beat, which uses mmWave FMCW radar device to accurately monitor heartbeats. It addresses the compliance problem caused by wearable sensors. By using sensitive body motion detection algorithm and optimal range-bin selection algorithm, it can automatically identify body motion and update the heartbeat signal channel, as well as construct personalized heartbeat templates and a global optimization model to improve the accuracy of heartbeat length estimation. The results demonstrate strong agreement between Radar-Beat and synchronized ECG devices in heart rate and inter-beat interval measurements for healthy subjects.

Summary: This study investigates the regulation of pH(i) in cardiomyocytes and finds a correlation between cardiac contractions and pH(i) transients. The pH(i) transients are influenced by various factors, including pacing rate, transporters, buffering capacity, and β-adrenergic signaling. Mitochondrial activity plays a role in pH(i) regulation, and a decrease in pH(i) may act as a negative feedback to cardiac contractions.

Summary: Researchers often overlook the complexity and usability of nanoelectrocatalysts with outstanding performance, leading to a lack of meaningful interpretation and scientific insight in previous studies. This article suggests that experiments should be designed to minimize the complexity of electrode materials in order to obtain interpretable electrochemical responses. Greater recognition of the challenges in this field will help improve the quality of research in electrocatalysis.

Summary: This study aims to explore the resilience of emergency nurses and provide nurse leaders with a different perspective. Through various methods, five elements of nurses' resilience were identified, including harmony, melody, rhythm, silence/rest, and beingness. Nurturing these elements can enhance individual, team, and organizational performance. Nurse leaders can support and promote resilience by perceiving it creatively and through reflection.

Summary: The study by McDonald et al. discovered that giant multinucleated, bone-resorbing osteoclasts can dissolve into smaller cells, termed osteopmorhs,'' which re-form into osteoclasts at distal bone sites. These findings overturn the long-standing premise that osteoclasts differentiate solely from hematopoietic precursors and undergo apoptosis after completing resorption.
