Abstract

Background:
Diplomatic relations between Israel and the Philippines were established in 1957, making the Philippines one of the earliest Asian nations to formalize ties with Israel^1^. Over nearly seven decades, bilateral cooperation has included agreements in health, workforce mobility, humanitarian relief, and science and technology. More recently, collaborations have expanded to digital health and artificial intelligence (AI), reflecting Israel’s role as a leader in health innovation^2^ and the Philippines’ status as both a major health workforce exporter and an adaptive adopter of new technologies^3^. Despite multiple initiatives, no systematic review has synthesized the outcomes and policy implications of these bilateral engagements.
Methods:
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of Israel–Philippines cooperation in health and technology (1957–2025), guided by PRISMA standards. Data sources included PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and official government repositories. Eligible documents comprised bilateral agreements, program evaluations, peer-reviewed studies, and humanitarian mission reports. Extracted outcomes covered health system strengthening, workforce deployment, digital health performance, and policy or diplomatic achievements. Random-effects models were used for pooled analyses, with subgroup analyses comparing traditional health diplomacy with digital health innovation.
Results:
Forty-two eligible documents were identified. Traditional cooperation included bilateral caregiver employment agreements (ratified 2019, first deployment in 2021)^4^, Israel’s humanitarian medical mission following Typhoon Haiyan in 2013^5^, and scientific cooperation memoranda^6^. Recent collaborations involved AI-assisted tuberculosis screening with CAD tools and ultra-portable X-rays^7^, cross-border data privacy agreements signed in 2025^8^, and the ISHA Women’s Health Initiative launched in 2025 as a flagship bilateral project in women’s health^9^. Meta-analysis demonstrated moderate improvements in workforce mobility (OR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.28–2.19) and TB case-finding efficiency (SMD = 0.46, 95% CI 0.25–0.67).
Conclusions:
This review of 68 years of bilateral relations highlights the evolution of Israel–Philippines cooperation from traditional health diplomacy to digital health innovation. The partnership underscores how bilateral diplomacy can strengthen national systems and contribute to global goals such as SDG 3 (Health), SDG 9 (Innovation), and SDG 17 (Partnerships)^10^.

title: Predator's paradise - Data supporting "Extreme hunting efficiency in a carnivorous bat"

description: Large predators typically hunt relatively large prey with high failure rates and at high costs. In contrast, small predators generally hunt relatively small, abundant prey at lower failure rates, incurring relatively lower costs. Bats are small predators with high metabolic rates during flight and most species hunt large numbers of abundant, small insects. However, nine different bat species have evolved true carnivory, targeting large, less abundant vertebrate prey. This rare hunting style among bats raises the fundamental conundrum of how these very small predators with limited energy stores and high absolute energy requirements can successfully employ a hunting strategy that usually involves prolonged searching and high-energy chasing at low success rates. Here, we address this question by quantifying the hunting behavior of 20 wild carnivorous fringe-lipped bats (Trachops cirrhosus) with sound and movement biologging tags. We equipped 20 Trachops cirrhosus bats (8 females, 12 males) with sound- and movement- tags in March 2023 and in October 2023. The tags used in this study recorded continuous data for ~5.5 hrs during one night of foraging, amounting to the first half of the bats’ nightly activity periods. Recordings generally started with the bats’ activity period, either at emergence time (via a timer) when bats had been captured and tagged in their day roosts (9 bats) or at time of release, when bats had been captured and tagged during emergence (11 bats), therefore all recording intervals covered the onset of the foraging period. Audio data was recorded with an ultrasonic microphone (FG-3329; Knowles Electronics, Itaska, IL, USA) at a sampling rate of 187.5 kHz, with 16-bit resolution, a 10 kHz 1-pole analog high-pass filter, and a clipping level of 121 dB re 20 μPa pk. Movement data was recorded with triaxial accelerometers sampling at 1000 Hz with a clipping level of 8 g. All accelerometer data was calibrated, converted into acceleration units (m/s2), and decimated to 100 Hz. The orientation of the bats was recorded with triaxial magnetometers sampling at 50 Hz. 
Long mastication times of up to 84 minutes after a kill show that these bats can target prey as large as their own body size. Unlike much larger predators, they do so with extreme efficiency: the bats spent only a fraction of the night in flight (median 11%, quartiles 7-14%) and complemented short search and pursuit times with high rates of hunting success (50%, 35-62%), capitalizing on a combination of eavesdropping on prey sounds and hang-and-wait ambush predation. The unusual low-risk/high-gain strategy of these predatory bats critically relies on high prey densities in pristine ecosystems. The dwindling sizes of intact ecosystems and dramatic decline in biodiversity raise great concern for the Anthropocene fate of these specialized predators.

title: QBO: monthly zonal stratospheric winds from tropical radiosonde data (mainly Singapore)

description: Monthly Tropical Stratospheric Zonal Winds from Radiosondes

Data Source and Processing:

Monthly mean zonal wind data for the tropics are provided as a service for the global QBO and trend analysis communities. The original data source and processing chain were established by the Free University of Berlin (FUB). Currently, the data is processed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, ROR:04t3en479), Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK), Germany with the tools developed at FUB.

Data Description:

The dataset includes monthly mean zonal wind values at pressure levels 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 12, and 10 hPa, derived from radiosonde observations at four equatorial stations:



Kiribati (Canton Island) - data from 1953 to 1967 (closed)

Maldives (Gan Island) - data from 1967 to 1975 (closed)

Singapore (Payalebar) - data from 1975 to 1989

Singapore (Changi) - data from 1989 onwards


Important Notes:



Values for 100 hPa from October 1967 are solely from Singapore (Changi).

Values for 100 hPa before October 1967 are from Kiribati (Canton Island) when available.

Detailed information about the radiosonde stations and their periods of operation is provided below.
