Red Sea Global (RSG) has conducted one of the world's largest environmental surveys along 125 miles of Saudi Arabia's northwestern coastline, aiming to deliver a net conservation benefit of 30 percent by 2040 through regenerative tourism projects. The survey, led by a team including Dr. Luis Silva, recorded diverse marine life, including endangered species, and utilized advanced technologies like Coral Net and Structure from Motion photogrammetry. The findings will help track the impact of marine protection efforts and contribute to global scientific knowledge.

This systematic review and quality appraisal study focuses on the economic evaluations (EEs) of medical devices used in pediatrics. It identifies a gap in the development of pediatric-specific devices, with most approved devices being designed for adults. The study highlights the challenges in designing and approving pediatric devices due to stringent safety and ethical requirements, small market size, and the prevalence of 'off-label' use of adult devices in children. It emphasizes the need for robust EEs to inform Health Technology Assessment (HTA) decisions and discusses methodological gaps and recommendations for future research. The study also assesses the quality of reporting in existing literature using the CHEERS 2022 checklist and identifies a lack of reporting on conflicts of interest and funding sources. The review concludes that there is a need for more informed HTA decisions that consider the unique needs of child health and calls for methodological advancements in EEs for pediatric devices.

Around 600 farmers and 300 vehicles protested in Algarve, expressing discontent over unequal water cuts amid a prolonged drought. Despite significant water-saving efforts by the agricultural sector, farmers feel the measures are not equitable compared to other sectors. The protest culminated in a 12-kilometer slow march, where a dossier of demands was submitted to the regional coordination commission, urging the new government to implement strategic projects to alleviate water resource pressures.

Citrus growers in the Algarve are struggling with severe drought conditions, with no new water sources and no rain expected until the end of the year. They are implementing minimal irrigation methods to ensure the survival of their orchards. The drought has significantly impacted the winter campaign, with a 50% drop in the last harvest and empty shelves of Algarve oranges. Despite recent rains, the outlook remains bleak, and the Silves irrigation perimeter has been closed for a month, awaiting rainfall to replenish reservoirs.

Paulo Raimundo, leader of the PCP, dismissed the idea of forming a new geringonça, emphasizing that it is not a consideration. During a visit to a market in Olhão, Raimundo aimed to convey a message of confidence amidst popular discontent, positioning the CDU as the sole protest vote. He acknowledged the prevalent dissatisfaction with the cost of living and the general distrust towards politicians. Raimundo seeks to strengthen the PCP's position ahead of the upcoming March elections, aiming to be seen as a significant opposition to the PS.

The retirement age in Portugal will increase by three months in 2025, reaching 66 years and seven months. This rise is linked to the evolution of life expectancy, which also affects the penalties for early retirement starting next year. In 2024, it will still be possible to retire at 66 years and four months, but the minimum age for retirement will be delayed by three months starting in 2025. Life expectancy had decreased due to mortality during the pandemic, but has recovered to a level close to that of 2022, according to the National Institute of Statistics, adjusting the social security sustainability index.

The microbiota of mosquitoes, specifically Pseudomonas species, influences their resistance to insecticides. In a study involving permethrin-resistant and sensitive colonies of Anopheles gambiae, four Pseudomonas strains were found to persist in adult mosquitoes and increase their survival rate after exposure to permethrin. The impact varied depending on the bacterial strain and mosquito colony, with resistant colonies showing a consistent increase in survival and sensitive colonies showing varied results. The study underscores the significance of environmental microbial exposure and mosquito microbial communities in vector-control strategies.

Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is characterized by persistent immune dysregulation, particularly in CD8+ T cells, which remain activated and express higher levels of effector molecules like perforin and Eomes. PASC patients show diminished peripheral CD8+β7 integrin+ T cells and elevated levels of specific IgA against SARS-CoV-2 antigens, suggesting viral persistence in mucosal tissues. The study highlights the importance of monitoring immune parameters in convalescent COVID-19 patients and suggests that antiviral treatments may be beneficial for managing PASC.

Cyber actors often target holiday weekends like Thanksgiving for scams due to increased online activity and reduced vigilance. To protect against these threats, avoid clicking on suspicious links, block spam calls using apps like AT&T Call ProtectSM, and stay informed through resources like att.com/cyberaware. With the holiday season approaching, it's crucial to remain vigilant as hackers prepare to exploit the busy period.

The paper explores the control of chaos in one-dimensional dynamical systems through the use of flat-topped maps, known as simple limiter control. The study introduces limiters in the tent map according to a binary sequence iteration pattern, defining local and Milnor attractors in a non-autonomous context. The existence and coexistence of these attractors are examined in relation to the limiter value and the iteration pattern. Symbolic dynamics are utilized to characterize and describe the attractor families. The research finds that non-autonomous systems exhibit a variety of behaviors not possible in autonomous cases, including the potential coexistence of multiple attractors. The findings have implications for controlling chaos in various fields, such as cardiac dynamics, telecommunications, and market dynamics, with potential for reducing implementation costs.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global health concern characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency or resistance. Current treatments often have severe side effects, prompting the exploration of natural compounds like anthocyanins for their antidiabetic properties. However, anthocyanins face challenges such as poor stability and bioavailability. Nanotechnology offers promising solutions for enhancing the delivery and efficacy of anthocyanins. This review discusses the potential of anthocyanins in DM prevention and treatment, the role of nanotechnology in improving their bioavailability, and the need for further research to validate these findings.

AT&T, in collaboration with Intrado, has launched a new 911 upgrade called 'Locate Before Route' which uses GPS to connect wireless callers with the closest 911 dispatch center, improving location accuracy to about 55 yards. This service is available to AT&T customers nationwide without any required action. The technology aims to enhance public safety response times, especially when callers are unable to communicate their location. AT&T's commitment to public safety is also reflected in the creation of FirstNet, a communications platform for first responders.

The article emphasizes the importance of preparing technology for hurricane season in Houston, providing expert advice on ensuring tech readiness.

5G technology is transforming Houston into a smart city, enhancing public safety and efficiency. Firefighters use drones, infrared tech, and live video for rescue operations, while paramedics share medical records in real-time and are guided by traffic signals for faster hospital transport. AT&T's 5G+ at Toyota Center and FirstNet for first responders are examples of this tech in action. 5G's capacity for Massive IoT and ultra-low latency is crucial for these advancements, potentially leading to autonomous cars, improved utility grids, and reduced traffic congestion.
