Summary: Land is crucial to social, economic, and environmental activities. The completion of a cadastre in Turkey has accelerated land-related projects and reduced costs. The investment in cadastre can be recovered within 20 years, and the revolving fund becomes a significant financial resource.

Summary: Global environmental assessments are important in environmental governance, but are criticized for their lack of effectiveness. To enhance effectiveness, GEAs have adopted strategies such as solution-orientation, increasing diversity of experts, and producing more targeted assessments. However, these strategies have limitations, and a reconceptualization focusing on empowering diverse actors is proposed to improve effectiveness.

Summary: This study aims to improve understanding of sedimentation processes and particle size distribution in dam reservoirs. By combining sonar and ground penetrating radar surveys with stratigraphic data, the sedimentation patterns in two valley-type reservoirs were analyzed. The results showed a strong correlation between sediment accumulation and reservoir morphology and management strategy.

Summary: This study retrospectively assessed the effect of galcanezumab in the first week after administration and found that it had a significant effect. The number of weekly migraine days and monthly migraine days significantly improved after 1-3 months of treatment. Additionally, the response rate at week 1 could predict the response rate at 3 months.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal rate constants and rotation specificity of the title reaction using two recently reported ab initio potential energy surfaces and running quasiclassical trajectories. Although some inconsistencies in previous studies are pointed out, the results suggest that they do not significantly alter the agreement between experiment and theory. Further work at both levels is needed for a more complete understanding.

Summary: In real-life clinical practice, anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies are effective in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse as well as those without it, leading to a reduction in headache frequency and acute medication use. The choice of different monoclonal antibodies does not affect the resolution of medication overuse, and patients with lower pain severity at baseline are more likely to stop overusing medications.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the predictors or associated factors for KDTs effectiveness by evaluating the subtle changes in brain functional connectivity before and after KDTs. The results showed that after six months of KDTs, responders exhibited a significant decrease in functional connectivity strength, reductions in global efficiency, clustering coefficient, and nodal strength in the beta frequency band were also observed in responders.

Summary: This paper presents the application of Cross Model Validation for variable selection in spectroscopic applications, showcasing the process of model optimization and the correspondence between objectively found wavelength bands and reported chemical interpretation. The study also demonstrates the stability of models through conservative validation with respect to predictive performance, as well as the importance of downweighing variables for optimal prediction ability and detailed model interpretation.

Summary: Das et al. (2010, 2018) numerically solve the portfolio optimization with mental accounts (POMA) problem and derive a closed-form solution based on the maximum Sharpe ratio and minimum value-at-risk (VaR) rule. The study finds that many efficient portfolios are statistically equivalent to the global minimum variance portfolio under estimation risk.

Summary: This study aims to improve the current Semi-circular bend (SCB) protocol, focusing on mixture preparation, testing condition, and evaluation indices. It analyzes the effects of aging methods and loading rates on the cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures and compares different cracking evaluation indices. The results show that higher loading rates are slightly more sensitive to mix composition, but further research is needed to determine which rate is more accurate.

Summary: Recent research indicates that children who unintentionally ingest cannabis often undergo extensive additional testing, such as head imaging or lumbar puncture. However, the yield of these tests is limited. While head imaging and lumbar puncture are frequently performed, diagnoses such as skull fracture, intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial neoplasm, meningitis, or intracranial abscess are rare. Additionally, discharge diagnoses related to other drugs are infrequent. The most common co-diagnoses are cocaine and opioids. Therefore, prompt consideration of cannabis ingestion and quick identification through testing may result in more effective neuroimaging outcomes.

Summary: Nerve blocks have emerged as promising options for targeted pain relief in the Emergency Department, providing effective analgesia without compromising motor function. The successful use of ultrasound-guided genicular nerve blocks (GNBs) in this case series demonstrates their potential as an alternative to traditional nerve blocks and opioid-based pain control strategies in the ED.
