Summary: The study found an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality associated with extreme temperatures, particularly for specific diseases such as myocardial infarctions and hypertension, with older women being a vulnerable group affected by heat-related mortality. Socio-economic status and education level of older women also play a role in the risk of heat-related mortality. Additionally, PM2.5 was found to increase the risk of heat-related mortality for heart failure.

Summary: This paper provides a clinical overview of luteal deficiency and its association with low fertility in dairy cows. Low plasma P4 concentrations during the luteal phase post-AI are linked to lower conception rates. Treatments with P4, GnRH, or hCG post-AI can improve fertility in certain conditions.

Summary: Heat stress significantly affects dairy production, and predicting skin temperature is crucial for guiding climate control systems. The study developed thermal models to predict Tskin of dairy cows, with the mechanistic model performing best for mean Tskin and the thermoregulatory model providing satisfactory performance for maximum Tskin. Environmental parameters impact the models' prediction performance under heat stress conditions.

Summary: Necropsy of dairy cattle is an important tool for diagnosing the cause of death. This study summarized the primary causes of death in dairy animals from Utah and other states. It found that some fatal diseases in dairy cattle could be diagnosed before death and necropsy diagnosis can guide management practices to reduce death rates in dairy herds.

Summary: This study investigated the association between temperature and mortality in the Czech Republic, considering sex, age, and marital status. It found that women are more vulnerable to heat-related deaths than men, particularly among those over 85 years old. Risks were lower among married individuals, while divorced women had significantly higher risks compared to divorced men. This novel finding highlights the potential role of gender inequalities in heat-related mortality, emphasizing the importance of including a sex and gender dimension in studying the impacts of heat, and advocating for gender-based adaptation policies to extreme heat.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the association between asthma hospitalisation and warm temperature and investigate vulnerabilities by age, sex, time, and space. Results show that for every 1 degree Celsius increase in ambient summer temperature, there is a 1.11% increase in asthma hospitalisation risk. The effect is highest for males aged 16-64 and decreases over time. Populations in Yorkshire and the Humber and East and West Midlands are the most vulnerable.

Summary: The study of phytomanagement has seen a significant increase in the past 4 years, but there is limited research on its field application. France is a leading country in using aromatic plants for phytomanaging polluted fields. Applying aromatic plants for degraded land management is a sustainable approach toward circular economy and achieving sustainable development goals. The pollution of trace elements in soils has become a global concern due to their persistence in the environment, which can lead to accumulation in food chains at toxic levels. At the same time, there is a shortage of arable land for growing crops, emphasizing the need for remediation and use of polluted land. Restoration of degraded lands has been recognized as a vital component of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study provides a summary of various sources of trace elements pollution, available biological reclamation and management strategies, and their limitations. Recent advances in phytomanagement approaches using aromatic crops for economic value and revalorizing polluted areas are reviewed. The worldwide application of this strategy in the past decade is illustrated through a choropleth map. Furthermore, the emerging concept of phytomanagement as a restorative and regenerative circular bio-economy is discussed.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban Green and blue spaces (GBS) exposure and Emotion and behavior problems (EBP) in youth populations. The findings suggest that higher exposure to GBS, particularly green spaces (GS) and blue spaces (BS), is associated with a decrease in the risk of developing total difficulties in young individuals. The joint effect of GS and BS may also contribute to the decrease in EBPs.

Summary: Air pollution is associated with a range of health issues and gestational exposure to environmental pollutants may be linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. This study investigated the effects of oral gestational exposure to particulate matter (PM) on ultrasonic vocalizations (USV). The findings suggest that this exposure may lead to social deficits and abnormal gene expression related to neurotransmitter systems. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of air pollution on neurodevelopmental disorders and the neurotransmission systems involved.

Summary: The present study investigated the sustainable approach for wastewater treatment using waste algal blooms. The biochar produced by the marine algae Ulva reticulata was used to remove chromium, nickel, and zinc from aqueous solutions. The study examined the adsorbents' properties and stability using SEM/EDX, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that the biochar had high removal efficiency for the toxic metals, and the packed bed column effectively removed the heavy metal ions. The Thomas and Adams-Bohart models were found to best fit the regression values, and desorption studies were conducted to understand the sorption and elution processes.

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.

Summary: Heteroatom doping can reconfigure the electronic structure of heterogeneous catalysts, leading to the development of advanced oxidation water purification materials with superior performance and stability. In this study, a series of catalysts with different elemental doping were prepared using a simple and environmentally friendly method. The S-doped NiCo2O4 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance for the removal of Tetracycline, with significantly increased kinetic constant and high oxidation and mineralization efficiency in a wide pH range. The degradation process was dominated by non-radical oxidation pathway after S doping, and the overall process moved towards low toxicity.
