Summary: The Early 20th Century Warming in the northern high latitudes was comparable in magnitude to the present-day warming, but occurred at a time when the growth in atmospheric greenhouse gases was significantly less than in the last 40 years. The causes of ETCW remain a matter of debate, with a combination of internal variability and external natural and human impacts likely playing a role in this climate anomaly.

Summary: The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is predictable in climate models at near-decadal timescales due to ocean initialization and external radiative forcing. A large uninitialized multi-model ensemble shows predictive skill comparable to a state-of-the-art initialized prediction system, confirming the low signal-to-noise error previously identified. Improving climate models' response to external radiative forcing may help resolve this error.

Summary: The recent expansion of Atlantic waters into the Arctic Ocean is clear evidence of rapid changes occurring, and understanding the past variability of this Atlantification is crucial to provide a longer perspective on modern Arctic changes. Reconstructions based on paleoceanographic records show rapid changes began in the early 20th century, before documented Atlantification. Comparison with regional records suggests a poleward expansion of subtropical waters since the end of the Little Ice Age.

Summary: Most research on Tibetan paper focuses on the earliest books from an archaeological perspective, neglecting the scientific study of paper properties and permanence in the 19th-20th century. This study investigates the material properties and degradation behavior of Tibetan paper, finding that diverse fibers were used and starch was the main glue. The papers have similar properties to modern Chinese paper and follow similar degradation principles as western paper.

Summary: Land-use change has caused declines in certain undisturbed or primary ecosystem types, but has also driven increases in ecosystem diversity over the past millennium. Prior to the mid-20th century, the number and diversity of ecosystems on Earth's land surface increased progressively, indicating a spatial differentiation rather than homogenization of ecosystem types.

Summary: The Arctic is experiencing rapid global warming, leading to shifts in biota distribution and potential hybridization. However, there is limited genomic evidence of recent hybridization events in the Arctic. This study provides compelling evidence of recent hybridization between different subspecies of Atlantic puffins in the Arctic, as well as a loss of genetic diversity across puffin populations in the Arctic and temperate regions during the 20th century.

Summary: The study indicates that the intensification of the Pacific quasi-decadal oscillation since the 1950s is mainly due to an increase in multi-year La Nina events, rather than the influence of the solar activity cycle.

Summary: Lake Victoria experienced severe degradation of water quality, with a shift in phytoplankton dominance, but the physical and ecological conditions in 2018-2019 showed improvements such as lower chlorophyll-a concentrations and the reappearance of certain phytoplankton taxa.

Summary: The study combines new and existing observations to determine that the sea-level rise trend in the South Atlantic Ocean during the 20th century likely ranged between 1.1 and 2.2 mm per year, with a central estimate of 1.6 mm per year. Both observations and physical processes indicate that the South Atlantic experienced sea-level rise about 0.3 mm per year above the global mean, attributed to factors such as ocean dynamics and ice mass loss.

Summary: This study aims to understand how nurses in the early 20th century thought about and interacted with eugenics. It found that nurses, as reformers of the time, had ambiguous thinking as they advocated for eugenic improvement while also addressing environmental changes for better health outcomes.

Summary: The translation provides insights into the importance of space and time analyses of channel changes within large rivers subject to high levels of human impact. The historical database on the French Rhone River offers valuable material for deeper analyses of channel changes over an extended time period. The dataset has applications in various fields and allows for comparisons with other multi-impacted rivers worldwide.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that the Iceland Basin and the Irminger Sea play a more significant role in the formation of upper North Atlantic Deep Water than the Labrador Sea. Through hindcast integrations of a global NEMO simulation, it is found that the surface heat loss from the Irminger Sea is the dominant mechanism for decadal variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Additionally, there is a causal link between surface forcing and decadal variability in the strength of the AMOC, and the AMOC variability is related to the North Atlantic Oscillation.

Summary: This article reviews the initiatives, achievements, and challenges in introducing and advancing science education in Ethiopia during the 20th century. It discusses how the efforts by different regimes did not yield the expected results, leading to ongoing struggles in building a relevant and quality science education system in the country by the dawn of the 21st century. The article aims to highlight historical challenges and provide guidance for policy-makers and practitioners in formulating better policy directions and developing practical science education programs and projects.

Summary: The geography of breakthrough invention in the U.S. experienced three major changes during the 20th century, influenced by inventors' institutional and communication technology environments. These changes were predicted by factors such as the disruptiveness of technological change, knowledge intensity, collaboration technologies, and knowledge-sourcing technologies. Lessons from the 20th century's geography of breakthrough innovation can inform the anticipation of innovation geography in the 21st century, including in the post-COVID-19 era.

Summary: Ultrasound is an effective tool for detecting and characterizing lesions in the uterosacral ligament, parametrium, and paracervix, which are important sites for diseases like endometriosis and advanced cervical cancer. Accurate diagnosis through ultrasound has a significant clinical impact and is crucial for appropriate treatment.

Summary: Endometriosis is a debilitating disease where endometrial glands and stroma are found outside the endometrial cavity. Abdominal wall endometriosis is a common complication, particularly following obstetric and gynecological surgical procedures. Diagnosis of AWE involves thorough medical history, physical examination, and ultrasound features.

Summary: This study evaluated and compared the diagnostic test accuracy of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for deep myometrial infiltration (DMI) and cervical invasion in patients with endometrial cancer (EC). The results showed that 3D-TVS demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity for the evaluation of DMI and cervical invasion, with comparable results to MRI.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review/meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of septate uterus and hysteroscopic metroplasty on reproductive and obstetrics outcomes in infertile/recurrent miscarriage patients. The results showed that septate uterus had a detrimental effect on pregnancy rate, live birth rate, spontaneous abortion, and preterm labor. However, the removal of septum through hysteroscopic metroplasty reduced the rate of spontaneous abortion.
