Mediterranean temporary pond restoration invcreases bat species richness but no...

Climate change scenarios predict a continued decrease in rainfall across the Mediterranean regions in the next years, emphasizing concerns about water scarcity. The ongoing destruction, modification, and drainage of wetland habitats further intensifies this risk to the landscape. Ponds are vulnerable aquatic habitats that supply essential ecosystem services and provide foraging and drinking resources to bats. T...

On the Pascal simplex with hypercomplex entries

We propose a generalization of the Pascal $n$-simplex by considering the generators $e_1,e_2,\dots,e_n$ of the $2^n-$dimensional Clifford algebra ${\mathcal{C} \ell}_{0,n}$ over $\mathbb{R}$in the multinomial expansion of powers of their sum. We investigate various patterns within this structure and examine several of its properties and associated combinatorial identities. Our results establish a direct connect...

Pure Gold of Psychoanalysis

In this work, the changes that have occurred over the last 50 years are referred to: society has changed, patients have changed, and psychoanalysis is changing. As a treatment, psychoanalysis had its golden age when other forms of therapy were not available and pharmacological treatment was so widely publicized. Compared to the time of the founding of the Portuguese Society of Psychoanalysis, candidates for psy...

Result-based payments as a tool to preserve the High Nature Value of complex si...

s shown by the Green Deal's ambition, the European Commission is progressively pushing for an environmental shiftand climate action in Europe. For the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), this involves a stronger focus on greening policy objectives.For agri-environmental schemes, this entails changes toward performance-based payments, partially replacing traditional activity-basedpayments. The CAP foresees greater...

How do editors assess sports news stories during the editorial decision-making process? Material and Methods. For this, we quantitatively examined all the sports conten...

Complex network model for COVID-19: human behavior, pseudo-periodic solutions a...

We propose a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in a homogeneously mixing non constant population, and generalize it to a model where the parameters are given by piecewise constant functions. This allows us to model the human behavior and the impact of public health policies on the dynamics of the curve of active infected individuals during a COVID-19 epidemic outbreak. After proving...

Optimal control of the COVID-19 pandemic: controlled sanitary deconfinement in ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced policy makers to decree urgent confinements to stop a rapid and massive contagion. However, after that stage, societies are being forced to find an equilibrium between the need to reduce contagion rates and the need to reopen their economies. The experience hitherto lived has provided data on the evolution of the pandemic, in particular the population dynamics as a result of the...

Aptamer-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery to Gynecological Ca...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers and is one of the major cause of deaths in women, especially in underdeveloped countries. The patients are usually treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, these treatments can cause several side effects and may lead to infertility. Another concerning gynecologic cancer is endometrial cancer, in which a high number of patients present a poo...
