description: Ponds and “pondscapes” (networks of ponds) are crucial habitats for biodiversity and for delivering multiple benefits to humans, so-called “Nature’s Contribution to People”, such as climate mitigation and adaptation to climate change, creation, and maintenance of habitat for biodiversity, water purification, flood mitigation and cultural benefits (e.g., recreational possibilities). However, ponds are not often considered as Nature-based Solutions to provide all these benefits. In addition, there is insufficient knowledge on how to manage and restore ponds to maximise their role to increase the resilience of ecosystems and society to climate change. To facilitate improved implementation of ponds as Nature-based Solutions for the delivery of a wide range of Nature Contributions to People, it is important to generate and integrate biodiversity, ecosystems, societal, economic and policy knowledge. Hence, there is a need for evidence-based guidance to support the broader use of ponds. Here, we review the role of ponds and pondscapes in delivering Nature’s Contributions to People and provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities for their broader implementation as Nature-based Solutions. Finally, we propose a conceptual framework that can help the implementation of pond Nature-based Solutions, and that outlines future research needs.

description: Scope The phytosteroid ecdysterone is present in spinach. In this study, the urinary elimination of ecdysterone and its metabolites in humans is investigated following spinach consumption of two different culinary preparations. Methods and results Eight participants (four males, four females) ingested 950 (27.1) g sautéed spinach (average [±standard deviation (SD)]) and 912 (70.6) g spinach smoothie as second intervention after washout. Post-administration urines are analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). After intake of both preparations, ecdysterone and two metabolites, 14-deoxy-ecdysterone, and 14-deoxy-poststerone, are excreted in urine. The maximum concentration of ecdysterone is ranging from 0.09 to 0.41 µg mL−1 after sautéed spinach and 0.08–0.74 µg mL−1 after smoothie ingestion. The total excreted amount (mean% [±SD]) in the urine as a parent drug plus the metabolites is only 1.4 (1.0) for both sautéed spinach and smoothie. The apparent sex related differences in 14-deoxy-poststerone excretion will need further investigations. Conclusion Only a small proportion of ecdysterone from spinach is excreted into urine. No significant differences are found in concentration and recovered amount (%) of ecdysterone, 14-deoxy-ecdysterone, and 14-deoxy-poststerone in urine between sautéed spinach and smoothie ingestion. A discrimination between ecdysterone from food or preparations will be challenging based on urinary concentrations only, at least for later post-administration samples.

description: Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that perform vital functions in cells. A protein structure determines its function, but this structure is not static, as proteins change their conformation to achieve various functions. Understanding the conformational landscapes of proteins is essential to understand their mechanism of action. Sets of carefully chosen conformations can summarize such complex landscapes and provide better insights into protein function than single conformations. We refer to these sets as representative conformational ensembles. Recent advances in computational methods have led to an increase in the number of available structural datasets spanning conformational landscapes. However, extracting representative conformational ensembles from such datasets is not an easy task and many methods have been developed to tackle it. Our new approach, EnGens (short for ensemble generation), collects these methods into a unified framework for generating and analyzing representative protein conformational ensembles. In this work, we: (1) provide an overview of existing methods and tools for representative protein structural ensemble generation and analysis; (2) unify existing approaches in an open-source Python package, and a portable Docker image, providing interactive visualizations within a Jupyter Notebook pipeline; (3) test our pipeline on a few canonical examples from the literature. Representative ensembles produced by EnGens can be used for many downstream tasks such as protein–ligand ensemble docking, Markov state modeling of protein dynamics and analysis of the effect of single-point mutations.

description: Freshwater ecosystems are characterized by their unique longitudinal and lateral habitat connectivity. As a result, spatial units in freshwater-specific analyses can often not be considered independent of each other. Accounting for this connectivity in modelling analyses requires advanced skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for adequately processing and managing the data. To address this challenge, we developed the GeoFRESH online platform, which is available at https://geofresh.org. The platform provides a graphical, easy-to-use interface to create freshwater-specific analysis-ready data for any given location in the world, based on a high-resolution stream network (https://hydrography.org/hydrography90m/hydrography90m_layers). Users can (i) upload and visualize point coordinates, (ii) automatically assign points to the closest stream network segment, (iii) annotate the point data with a suite of 104 local and/or upstream-aggregated topographic, climatic, land-cover and soil variables, (iv) visualize summary plots, and (v) download the data in csv-format for further analyses. The platform can be expanded given its modular structure and it can serve as a key element to support freshwater science and management relying on high-resolution geospatial analyses. GeoFRESH provides a low-entry interface while being complementary to the hydrographr R-package, and contributes importantly to the re-usability of data as an important aspect of the FAIR principles.

description: According to the European Directive 63/2010/EU, education and training involving living rats and mice are classified as an animal experiment and demands the implementation of the 3Rs. Therefore, as a method of refinement, rat and mouse simulators were developed to serve as an initial training device for various techniques, prior to working on living animals. Nevertheless, little is known about the implementation, anatomical correctness, learning efficiency and practical suitability of these simulators. With this in mind, a collaborative research project called “SimulRATor” was initiated to systematically evaluate the existing rat and mouse simulators in a multi-perspective approach. The objective of the study presented here was to identify the anatomical strengths and weaknesses of the available rat and mouse simulators and to determine anatomical requirements for a new anatomically correct rat simulator, specifically adapted to the needs of Laboratory Animal Science (LAS) training courses. Consequently, experts of Veterinary Anatomy and LAS evaluated the anatomy of all currently available rat and mouse simulators. The evaluation showed that compared to the anatomy of living rats and mice, the tails were perceived as the most anatomically realistic body part, followed by the general exterior and the limbs. The heads were rated as the least favored body part.

description: The Jordan Valley, a unique geographic region in Jordan, boasts exceptional agricultural potential due to its distinctive soil and environmental conditions. It plays a pivotal role in the country's food production, providing a wide range of agricultural products, including grains, vegetables, and fruits. Additionally, the Jordan Valley serves as a vital source of agricultural exports to international markets, contributing significantly to the nation's food security and economic growth. However, the Jordan Valley faces formidable challenges, primarily water scarcity and land management issues, which demand innovative solutions for sustainable agricultural development. This study delves into the utilization of modern irrigation techniques and the mitigation of soil salinity, conducted in Jordan during 2009-2010, as potential pathways to overcome these challenges.

The soil's chemical composition, including its pH level, profoundly influences nutrient availability for plant growth. Research on the impact of sulfur addition to calcareous soil, conducted over multiple years, has revealed its significant effects on crop yield and soil consistency. For instance, studies by Weidenfeld explored the application of sulfur to calcareous soil and its impact on sugarcane yield, while in Turkey, Kaplan and Orman investigated the addition of sulfur and sulfur-containing waste to calcareous soil, specifically in the context of Sorghum cultivation

Material examined.— HOLOTYPE: male, BRAZIL, Pará, Tucuruí, Rio Tocantins, v.1986, Interception trap, N. Degallier col. (MPEG). PARATYPES: BRAZIL, Pará, 3 males, Tucuruí, Rio Tocantins, 08–20.IV.1986, Interception trap, N. Degallier col. (MPEG).
Remarks.—When Evans (1963) revised the type of A. brasiliensis (Kieffer, 1910), he included in his study the description of the genitalia of a specimen from Santarém (Brazil, Pará). It does not correspond to the genitalia of the type. We did not see the specimen from Santarém, but according to the illustration in Evans (1963, fig. 111), it fits perfectly in A. lapsa.
Etymology.—The name refers to the genitalia of this species having been described originally as that of A. brasiliensis.

Material examined. Le Danois Bank, 2009: Stn. V 3, 999 m, a small, juvenile specimen.
Description. Corallum unattached, solitary, patellate, fragile, light and small (H= 0.4 cm; GCD= 1.73 cm). Base flat, with a small central scar of attachment, crossed by C1–C3 according to the formula C1≥C2>>C3. Costae poorly developed, discontinuous, not reaching the epicenter of base. Calice irregular in calicular view, with 48 septa arranged hexamerally in four cycles and six systems (S1>S2>S3>S4, 48 septa). S1 clearly dominant; S1 and S2 merge with columella; S3 join to S2 near columella; S4 very delicate and rudimentary, only developed near calicular margin, sometimes reduced to a few spines. Septal faces with small spines, particularly in S1 and S2. Inner margin of S1−S3 near columella with numerous small lobes. Fossa shallow, containing a columella that is a slightly concave compact mass. Corallum white.
Remarks. Young specimens of Stephanocyathus moseleyanus and S. crassus are difficult to distinguish. Nevertheless, the specimen examined is very similar to one depicted by Zibrowius (1980: pl.49, figs. F–G). Furthermore, S. moseleyanus is a coral relatively common in the Bay of Biscay, whereas S. crassus is extremely rare. Finally, depth of stn. V3 (999 m) is more in accordance with S. moseleyanus, typically found between 1000– 2000 m, than with S. crassus. This species occurs in a depth range of 400–1000 m depth, with most part of the records shallower than 900 m (Zibrowius 1980). The adults of similar size can be also difficult to differentiate, but the fifth cycle is much more developed in S. moseleyanus, whose corallum is also more massive (Zibrowius 1980).
A deep sea coral widely distributed in the north-eastem Atlantic and recorded also previously from Le Danois Bank by Zibrowius (1980).

description: Metasurfaces are paving the way to improve traditional optical components by integrating multiple functionalities into one optically flat metasurface design. We demonstrate the implementation of a multifunctional gap surface plasmon-based metasurface which, in reflection mode, splits orthogonal linear light polarizations and focuses into different focal spots. The fabricated configuration consists of 50 nm thick gold nanobricks with different lateral dimensions, organized in an array of 240 nm x 240 nm unit cells on the top of a 50 nm thick silicon dioxide layer, which is deposited on an optically thick reflecting gold substrate. Our device features high efficiency (up to ~65%) and polarization extinction ratio (up to ~30 dB), exhibiting broadband response in the near-infrared band (750-950 nm wavelength) with the focal length dependent on the wavelength of incident light. The proposed optical component can be forthrightly integrated into photonic circuits or fiber optic devices.

description: Current trends in quantitative health research have highlighted the inadequacy of the usual operationalisation of sex and gender, resulting in a growing demand for more nuanced options. This scoping review provides an overview of recent instruments for the operationalisation of sex and gender in health-related research beyond a concept of mutually exclusive binary categories as male or masculine vs. female or feminine. Our search in three databases (Medline, Scopus and Web of Science) returned 9935 matches, of which 170 were included. From these, we identified 77 different instruments. The number and variety of instruments measuring sex and/or gender in quantitative health-related research increased over time. Most of these instruments were developed with a US-American student population. The majority of instruments focused on the assessment of gender based on a binary understanding, while sex or combinations of sex and gender were less frequently measured. Different populations may require the application of different instruments, and various research questions may ask for different dimensions of sex and gender to be studied. Despite the clear interest in the development of novel sex and/or gender instruments, future research needs to focus on new ways of operationalisation that account for their variability and multiple dimensions.

Material examined. Galicia Bank: Stn. R 2, 614 m, six very small dead, broken and rolled specimens, mostly fragmentary.
Description. Specimens solitary, unattached, much worn, with wall almost even as a consequence of erosion. Largest specimen examined cylindrical (H= 0.6 cm). Base pointed. Calices circular, up to 0.18 cm in GCD and three cycles of septa, with almost all S1 and S2 merging with columella. S1 and S2 subequal and larger than S3, which are rudimentary. Septal faces with small granules. Columella reduced, formed by a single lamella. Corallum light brown.
Remarks. The sample suggests Sphenotrochus andrewianus Milne Edwards & Haime (Turbinoliidae Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848). However, in this species the calice and the corallum are laterally compressed and the wall has well-marked costae, whereas the samples at study are cylindrical and smooth. Young corallites of S. andrewianus use to be cylindrical for GCD<0.2 cm (Manuel 1981), but specimens from stn. R2 are longer than S. andrewianus.
According to Zibrowius (1980), three turbinolids occur in the north-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. From them, only Sphenotrochus andrewianus approaches the sample examined herein. Unfortunately, corallites are worn, rolled, and they cannot be identified with certitude. Besides, in the Bay of Biscay and nearby areas S. andrewianus is rarely cited, with a bathymetric range of 14−100 m depth. This depth is in accordance with the range given for this infralittoral to circalittoral coral (Zibrowius 1980; Manuel 1981) on its whole distribution area, and is far from depth of stn. R2 (614 m).

description: We study the geometry of non-homogeneous horospherical varieties. These have been classified by Pasquier and include the well-known odd symplectic Grassmannians. We focus our study on quantum cohomology, with a view towards Dubrovin's conjecture. In particular, we describe the cohomology groups of these varieties as well as a Chevalley formula, and prove that many Gromov-Witten invariants are enumerative. This enables us to prove that in many cases the quantum cohomology is semisimple. We give a presentation of the quantum cohomology ring for odd symplectic Grassmannians. The final section is devoted to the derived categories of coherent sheaves on horospherical varieties. We first discuss a general construction of exceptional bundles on these varieties. We then study in detail the case of the horospherical variety associated to the exceptional group $G_2$, and construct a full rectangular Lefschetz exceptional collection in the derived category.

description: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly impact climate change, with livestock contributing a substantial share. Livestock emissions, including methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2), constitute 14.5% of all human-induced GHG emissions. Small ruminants, such as sheep and goats, contribute approximately 6.7% to total livestock emissions. Accurate estimation of GHG emissions is crucial for inventory purposes and emission reduction strategies. Methane conversion rate (Ym) plays a pivotal role in quantifying enteric CH4 emissions, representing the proportion of the animal's gross energy intake converted to CH4 energy.

This study emphasizes the significance of Ym and its continuous revision to ensure reliable regional and national GHG emission inventories. The values of Ym ideally require direct measurements of CH4 emission, dietary intake, and digestibility. Accurate determination of Ym is vital for setting achievable targets to reduce enteric methane emissions. Understanding and improving Ym estimation procedures are essential steps toward mitigating the environmental impact of livestock-related GHG emissions.
