Summary: There is well-established evidence that dams disconnect upstream to downstream sediment flux in rivers and that this may have negative impact on downstream ecosystems. The development of environmental flows now includes sediment supply and transport to ensure the health of river ecosystems. However, in some Alpine systems, unregulated tributaries may compensate for the effects of dam-related sediment disconnection.

Summary: This paper provides an analysis of the concept of recovery from substance use and identifies the core attributes of recovery. The study finds that recovery is a process that goes beyond managing substance use and includes life improvements. It emphasizes the person-centered and individualized nature of recovery. The paper proposes a definition for recovery and highlights the importance of individual determination in defining recovery and recovery.

Summary: Like many other countries, Peru utilizes Water Quality Standards (WQS) for managing and diagnosing water resources. In addition, biotic indexes based on the tolerance of benthic macroinvertebrates to pollution are commonly used. This research proposes the use of the Stable States approach to evaluate the ecological integrity in central-Andes rivers, providing a more comprehensive representation of multiple factors through multivariate analyses.

Summary: About half of concussions go undisclosed and delayed medical care is common. Delayed reporting of concussion symptoms leads to higher symptom burdens and longer recovery time.

Summary: The 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident caused severe pollution to the deep-sea ecosystem. Through imaging data of sediment, it was found that the recovery trajectory of benthic fauna resembles benthic succession following organic enrichment in coastal systems. The study also suggests that bioturbation-mediated microbial degradation may play a crucial role in rapid functional benthic recovery. This research is of great significance in improving our understanding of benthic recovery in deep-sea environments.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with quality-of-life recovery after gastrectomy. Most patients recover to baseline within 1 year following major gastrectomy, and recovery is easier with more limited resections. Patients with locally advanced tumors tend to have poorer baseline quality of life, which may improve following resection.

Summary: This study assesses the effects of river regulation on the diversity of instream and riparian biological communities, and finds that the communities' responses to regulation gradients are similar and insensitive to different types of river regulation, with impacts on biological and functional diversity being indirect.

Summary: The study found that biodiversity recovers faster in secondary forests compared to vegetation composition and biomass. The number of remnant trees positively impacts recovery rates, while the duration of agricultural cultivation has a negative impact. Regional climate and soil conditions also play a significant role in the speed of secondary successions.

Summary: A latent linear mixed model was proposed to analyze multivariate longitudinal data, with a focus on the effects of observed covariates on latent variables. The study found that treatment can slow down the progression of latent cervical and lumbar functions in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease.

Summary: The study evaluates the impact of the Jubilee Line Extension on air quality in London, finding that both short and long-term effects were relatively small, with only some sites showing detectable changes. The overall city-wide effect was insignificant, indicating that public transport provision alone is not an effective strategy to improve air quality.

Summary: In this study, a new eddy-currents analysis method called TMIM was developed and compared with the NA method and Ansys method. The results show that the TMIM method has higher computational efficiency in handling different and complex gradient configurations and shielding structures. It allows for effective evaluation of passive shielding performance and compensation of eddy-currents pre-emphasis.

Summary: The global meta-analysis found that old field restoration in agricultural landscapes had positive effects on soil condition but did not lead to full recovery when compared to a reference ecosystem. Few and idiosyncratic effects were detected for invertebrates. Further research is needed to understand effects of restoration on soil invertebrate functional groups and to develop management interventions that accelerate the restoration of soil condition.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether randomly choosing one of the CSF tubes for analysis may result in different CSF protein findings due to the so-called ventriculo-lumbar CSF gradient. The results showed significantly lower concentrations of CSF immunoglobulins and albumin, as well as CSF-serum protein quotients in the later CSF fractions compared to the first fraction. However, there was no significant difference in the virus-specific antibody index (AI) among the different CSF fractions. Therefore, performing CSF protein analytics in the first CSF fraction is important to ensure comparability and avoid measurement discrepancies.

Summary: This study focuses on the sustained engagement of serial participants in social media conversations about climate change, revealing patterns of structural evolution and establishment of hierarchies within their community of practice. The study also demonstrates the value of this community by showing how serial participants increase their connections with elites and diversify their network through participation.
