title: Experimental data of evacuation simulations in an BNE-informed ABM

description: This is the experimental dataset derived from the ABM for pedestrian evacuation proposed recently.

This BNE-informed ABM ultimately aims to provide a more realistic description of complicated pedestrian behaviours especially in high-density and life-threatening situations. Bayesian Nash Equilibrium (BNE) was adopted to reproduce interactive decision-making process among intelligent and game-playing agents. The implementations of 3 behavioural models, which are Shortest Route (SR) model, Random Follow (RF) model, and BNE model, make it possible to simulate emergent patterns of pedestrian behaviours (e.g. herding and self-organised queuing behaviours, etc.) in emergency situations. According to the common features of previous mass trampling accidents, a series of simulation experiments were performed in space with 3 types of barriers, which are Horizontal Corridors, Vertical Corridors, and Random Squares, standing for corridors, bottlenecks and intersections respectively, to investigate emergent behaviours of evacuees in varied constricted spatial environments. The model was developed in NetLogo and related materials (e.g. software, ODD+D documentation, etc.) can be retrieved from https://www.comses.net/codebases/e6f64320-2ab4-41ca-a98c-2639254e7b7f/releases/2.0.0/

title: Data: Seasonal activity patterns of a Kalahari mammal community: trade-offs between environmental heat load and predation pressure

description: Mammals in arid zones have to trade-off thermal stress, predation pressure, and time spent foraging in a complex thermal landscape. We quantified the relationship between the environmental heat load and activity of a mammal community in the hot, arid Kalahari Desert. We deployed miniature black globe thermometers within the existing Snapshot Safari camera trap grid on Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, South Africa. Using the camera traps to record species activity throughout the 24-hour cycle we quantified changes in the activity patterns of mammal species in relation to heat loads in their local environment. We compared the heat load during which species were active between two sites with differing predator guilds. In the presence of lion (Panthera leo) prey species were generally active under significantly higher heat loads, especially during the hot and dry spring. We suggest that increased foraging under high heat loads highlights the need to meet nutritional requirements while avoiding nocturnal activity when predatory pressures are high. Such a trade-off may become increasingly costly under the hotter and drier conditions predicted to become more prevalent as a result of climate change within the arid and semi-arid regions of southern Africa.

title: Parasympathetic neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells model human diseases and development. Wu et al.

description: Parasympathetic neurons (parasymNs) belong to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and are critical for unconscious body responses, including rest-and-digest and calming the body. ParasymN innervation is important for organ development; and ParasymN dysfunction is a hallmark of neural diseases such as autonomic neuropathy and neurological autoimmune disease. However, human parasymN function and dysfunction is vastly understudied, due to the lack of a model system. Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neurons can fill this void and serve as a platform for disease modeling, drug screening, and transplantation therapy. Here, we developed a differentiation paradigm detailing, the derivation of functional human parasymNs from Schwann cell progenitors (SCP). We employ these neurons (i) to assess human ANS developmental paradigms, (ii) to model neuropathy in the genetic disorder Familial Dysautonomia (FD), (iii) to show parasymN dysfunction during SARS-CoV-2 infection, (iv) to model the autoimmune disease Sjögren’s syndrome and, (v) to show that parasymN innervation of white adipocytes during development and help mature the tissue. Our model system could become instrumental for future disease modeling and drug discovery studies as well as for human developmental studies.

title: local climatic conditions on household consumption. A case of South Africa

description: The primary data source for this study is the nationally representative 2017 South African National Income Dynamic Study (NIDS), wave 5 data (Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU), 2018. NIDS, wave 5, was administered to over 47,000 individuals in 13,700 households. However, for our study, we limit our sample to 7,135 households with complete information on all the relevant variables. NIDS wave 5 collected various socioeconomic variables at the individual and household levels central to our study. These include demographic characteristics (age, gender, and race), income, consumption, education level, assets, household debt, and employment status. 
In addition, we use geospatial climate data, mainly temperature and precipitation, produced by the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (https://www.uea.ac.uk/web/groups-and-centres/climatic-research-unit/data )(Harris et al. 2020). The climate data combines data from more than 4,000 weather stations worldwide and satellite data to estimate monthly(yearly) average climate data from 1901-2020. The advantage of this database is that it is provided at fine spatial resolution (0.5x0.5 degree) grids, which allows us to extract the climate data for different geographical levels. We aggregate the data to 52 districts following the geographical boundaries used in the 2011 Census, which matches the district boundaries in the 2017 NIDS data. Finally, we merge the climate data for 2017 with 2017 NIDS, wave 5 data based on the 52 districts in South Africa so that each household is assigned the average yearly climate data for its corresponding district. The data is merged and is in STATA 16 format. We included a dofile that we used to analyse the data

title: Tracing the introduction of <i>Dictyota acutiloba</i> (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) in the Mediterranean Sea, with a reassessment of its geographic distribution

description: In this study we explore the introduction of the brown alga <i>Dictyota acutiloba</i> in the Mediterranean Sea and provide a substantive update on the geographic distribution of this species, which was long thought to be confined to the Pacific Ocean. A critical assessment of published distribution records and additional identifications based on <i>cox</i>1, <i>psb</i>A and <i>rbc</i>L genetic markers confirm the presence of <i>D. acutiloba</i> at a number of locations in the Indo-Pacific as well as three locations along the Israeli coastline in the south-eastern Mediterranean Sea. The close genetic affinity between introduced specimens and those from a population in Hurghada (Red Sea) strongly suggests an introduction via the Suez Canal. The occurrence of <i>D. acutiloba</i> in these regions is further supported by predictions made by correlative ecological niche models (ENMs), which show high suitability values in the northern Red Sea and the Levantine Basin. In contrast, environmental conditions in the western Mediterranean and parts of the north-eastern Mediterranean are currently less favourable, as evidenced by the lower predicted probability of occurrence. Under future scenarios, the suitability of these regions increases. The further spread of <i>D. acutiloba</i> in the eastern Mediterranean seems imminent, and the species may even extend its range to the western Mediterranean Sea, depending on the climate change scenario considered. While <i>D. acutiloba</i> can be relatively easily distinguished from the majority of Mediterranean <i>Dictyota</i> species, it remains difficult to differentiate this species from narrow growth forms of <i>D. dichotoma</i>. Therefore, we recommend the use of molecular markers such as <i>cox</i>1, <i>psb</i>A and <i>rbc</i>L, to unequivocally identify this species and monitor its further spread. The geographic distribution of <i>Dictyota acutiloba</i> was substantially updated.<i>D. acutiloba</i> was probably introduced into the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal.The Mediterranean Sea will become increasingly suitable for this species.

title: Genetic and phenotypic intra-species diversity of alga <i>Tisochrysis lutea</i> reveals original genetic structure and domestication potential

description: Oceanic phytoplankton species are generally composed of many strains, with intra-species diversity consisting of genetic and phenotypic variability. Despite its importance in ecological and biotechnological contexts, this intra-species diversity and variation among strains has been little studied. We investigated the intra-species diversity of the microalga <i>Tisochrysis lutea</i>, a haptophyte of the Isochrysidales order. Inter-strain diversity of <i>T. lutea</i> was studied because of the economic importance of the species as a feed in aquaculture and for antioxidant metabolite production, particularly fucoxanthin and other carotenoids, which have health benefits. We analysed Tara Ocean datasets which revealed that <i>T. lutea</i> was present in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans but not in the Arctic or Austral Oceans. We next made phenotypic and genotypic comparisons of 11 strains of <i>T. lutea</i> from worldwide algal collections. All strains were cultivated in the same controlled conditions for one week, and several phenotypic traits were measured, notably antioxidant content. In parallel, the genomes of each strain were sequenced, and genetic variants identified. At the genetic and phenotypic levels, the strains were distinct from each other and our analysis revealed natural trait variations of interest in relation to further exploitation in domestication programmes. A large number of genetic variations were identified among the strains, but no major differences in genome size were observed. Moreover, limited genetic structure was observed among these strains, which could be a consequence of the complex life history of species within the Isochrysidales. Our study provides new knowledge on the intra-species diversity that should be considered in future environmental studies and breeding programmes. <i>Tisochrysis lutea</i> is found in many parts of the world’s oceans.<i>T. lutea</i> has high inter-strain phenotypic and genomic variation.Genetic structure of strains from culture collections is limited. <i>Tisochrysis lutea</i> is found in many parts of the world’s oceans. <i>T. lutea</i> has high inter-strain phenotypic and genomic variation.

title: INTERcoach

description: Heart failure represents a significant global health challenge, with an increasing prevalence of 0.6% annually. Home management of the disease can be daunting, especially following a hospitalization, when patients may encounter difficulties in adjusting their lifestyle to comply with the recommendations provided. Indeed, poor treatment adherence and lack of self-care behaviors are important factors contributing to hospital readmissions.
A nurse-led telephone supportive intervention may help patients and their caregivers improve their self-care capabilities and prevent acute decompensation. Similarly, non-invasive home telemonitoring is another potentially beneficial strategy in reducing hospital readmissions. Healthcare professionals remotely monitor individuals' vital signs, enabling timely detection and management of exacerbation episodes. However, evidence for its effectiveness is inconsistent, partly due to high heterogeneity across studies in patient acuity, educational support provided, follow-up durations, and technology used,
Consistent with the recommendation of the Medical Research Council, conducting a feasibility study is a crucial step in designing a definitive trial to maximize the benefits of interventions.

Abstract
During uncertainty and an unpredictable situation like Covid-19 the intensity and degree of solidarity in society are essential and fundamentally important to hold its human dimension intact and collective. The proposed article views that social solidarity particularly 'mechanical solidarity' put forward by Emile Durkheim holds relevance even in today's modern society during the pandemic among newly "incarnated social facts" and adopted behaviors. Social distancing, physical distancing, community containment, isolation, and individualism are the notions that have been dominating the scene during the pandemic, but social solidarity is still manifesting as an existential possibility among the members of the society inviting and permitting only physical and social-'distancing' not 'social difference'. Priority of the social over the individual has been critically analyzed in the proposed article as social distancing and suspension of various human activities during the pandemic bear witness of it.
