Summary: The study found that the surface response in the North Atlantic and European regions following sudden stratospheric warmings is consistent, but the uncertainty is mainly due to independent tropospheric variability.

Summary: Understanding the radiative response to warming is crucial for predicting global warming. The difference between the radiative response estimated by climate models and the theoretical estimate is mainly due to the lack of stratospheric warming in the models. Neglecting this warming can lead to an overly optimistic analysis of climate change feedbacks.

Summary: A comparison of existing products with ocean reanalyzes and satellite retrieval is establishing an understanding of the quality and accuracy of advanced time-varying salinity information. Uncertainties in climatological salinity estimates vary by depth and are particularly high in boundary regions and areas with high vertical salinity gradients. Challenges remain in estimating the amplitude of the salinity seasonal cycle, especially in tropical regions, where disagreement between data sets can be as high as 30-50%.

Summary: In this study, the first simultaneous global QCD analysis of spin-averaged and spin-dependent parton distribution functions (PDFs) was performed, including single jet production data from unpolarized and polarized hadron collisions. The impact of SU(3) flavor symmetry and PDF positivity assumptions on the quark and gluon helicity PDFs was critically assessed, revealing significant bias on gluon polarization. The simultaneous analysis enables the extraction of individual helicity-aligned and antialigned PDFs with consistent treatment of uncertainties.

Summary: The Araucariaceae is a family of ancient conifers containing iconic tree species from diverse parts of the world. Many of these species have experienced significant reduction in natural populations due to human disturbances, resulting in most species being at some level of extinction risk. In recent decades, several diseases have emerged on trees in this family, revealing a lack of knowledge regarding the factors impacting the health of Araucariaceae. Globalization and climate change are potential threats that can affect the emergence of current and future diseases, and the limited research carried out on this topic highlights the need for further studies.

Summary: Wellens' syndrome is a pattern of electrocardiographic T-wave changes associated with critical LAD stenosis. This case study highlights the under-recognition of the syndrome and the importance of timely intervention to avoid mortality risk. A Chinese woman initially presented with atypical chest pain and was diagnosed with Wellens' syndrome after further examination, leading to successful treatment.

Summary: This article highlights the importance of zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs) in decarbonizing the transport sector and focuses on the effectiveness and impact of a ZEV sales mandate policy in the long term. It presents an interdisciplinary framework to address the complexity of the policy and summarizes limited evidence on policy effectiveness, efficiency, public acceptability, and transformative potential.

Summary: This paper reviews and proposes an agenda for home sharing in marketing and tourism through a framework-based systematic review, providing an overview of the theories, contexts, and methods employed to gain this understanding. It concludes by discussing the extant knowledge gaps and suggesting ways to address them for future research in marketing and tourism on home sharing.

Summary: The uncertainty in Europa's topography has not been rigorously assessed. By comparing digital terrain models generated by different software, it was found that the vertical precision is approximately 1.7 times larger than expected. While most DTM errors are normally distributed, there are also some larger errors that result from manual editing.

Summary: The systematic literature review of green gentrification research highlights the focus on U.S. case studies, the shift towards quantitative analyses, and the lack of attention to the influence of greening characteristics/functions and non-greening factors on gentrification. The mechanisms through which greening leads to gentrification, particularly on the demand side, are still not well understood, and displacement, a main concern of green gentrification, has not been adequately documented.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of the tropical tropopause using ERA5 reanalysis data from 1980 to 2021 and finds a general rise and cooling of the tropopause during this period. However, from 2006 to 2021, the tropical tropopause shows a warming trend with a slower rise. The study also reveals large uncertainties in the variability of the tropical belt width.

Summary: Biological clocks, composed of complex folding molecules, regulate the circadian rhythms of organisms. While research on plant clocks mainly focuses on Arabidopsis, there are still critical knowledge gaps regarding circadian rhythm molecular components in other important crop groups. The interactions between environmental factors and circadian rhythm regulation play a significant role in fine-tuning the physiological adaptations of current and future crops in response to a changing world.

Summary: The research field of nanoplasmonic sensors, particularly focused on affinity-based detection using refractive index changes, is scrutinized in this review. Nanostructured plasmonic sensors offer unique advantages compared to traditional surface plasmon resonance techniques, but their usefulness is limited to specific situations. The main challenges in the field are related to limited receptor affinity and nonspecific binding.

Summary: Urbanisation has both positive and negative impacts, and the study highlights the lack of research on urban microclimate and the urban heat island effect in New Zealand. The inconsistent parameters and methods used in existing studies, as well as the neglect of future urban development and morphology, hinder the scientific understanding of urban microclimate changes. The study suggests developing models that consider the continuous changes in urban microclimate and assessing the impact of urban morphology on the urban heat island effect.

Summary: Further research into inhibitors of eotaxin, IL-4, IL-5, IL-17, IL-23, CCR3, and specific complement factors are warranted as preliminary studies have largely identified success in treating BP with these agents. Learning from novel treatments for other IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases may be beneficial.
