This observation is increasingly apparent and visible in advancing our thinking and policies related to human/environmental worlds at local, regional, and global scales. Maps are an important part of these innovative and ongoing research approaches. In this context, we consider urban forests a topic meriting more attention of scholars studying the geographic and environmental intersections of the natural sciences with the social sciences and humanities. We construct two innovative knowledge bases, one a conceptual framework based on major themes and concepts related to mapping urban forests using key words of the first 100 results of a Google Scholar query and a second using the number of Google Scholar hyperlinks about mapping urban forests in 244 capital cities. We discovered that the constructed world maps reveal vast global unevenness in our knowledge about urban forests in hyperlink numbers and ratios, results that merit further attention by disciplinary, international and interdisciplinary scholarly communities.展开更多

文摘This review comprehensively summarized the potential of artificial intelligence(AI)in the management of esophageal cancer.It highlighted the significance of AI-assisted endoscopy in Japan where endoscopy is central to both screening and diagnosis.For the clinical adaptation of AI,several challenges remain for its effective translation.The establishment of high-quality clinical databases,such as the National Clinical Database and Japan Endoscopy Database in Japan,which covers almost all cases of esophageal cancer,is essential for validating multimodal AI models.This requires rigorous external validation using diverse datasets,including those from different endoscope manufacturers and image qualities.Furthermore,endoscopists’skills significantly affect diagnostic accuracy,suggesting that AI should serve as a supportive tool rather than a replacement.Addressing these challenges,along with country-specific legal and ethical considerations,will facilitate the successful integration of multimodal AI into the management of esophageal cancer,particularly in endoscopic diagnosis,and contribute to improved patient outcomes.Although this review focused on Japan as a case study,the challenges and solutions described are broadly applicable to other high-incidence regions.

文摘A distinctive feature of scholarly communities today is exploring topics and concepts in interdisciplinary and international contexts. This observation is increasingly apparent and visible in advancing our thinking and policies related to human/environmental worlds at local, regional, and global scales. Maps are an important part of these innovative and ongoing research approaches. In this context, we consider urban forests a topic meriting more attention of scholars studying the geographic and environmental intersections of the natural sciences with the social sciences and humanities. We construct two innovative knowledge bases, one a conceptual framework based on major themes and concepts related to mapping urban forests using key words of the first 100 results of a Google Scholar query and a second using the number of Google Scholar hyperlinks about mapping urban forests in 244 capital cities. We discovered that the constructed world maps reveal vast global unevenness in our knowledge about urban forests in hyperlink numbers and ratios, results that merit further attention by disciplinary, international and interdisciplinary scholarly communities.
文摘The study is based on a bibliometric analysis of scientific knowledge on geoheritage,geotourism,geoconservation and geoparks in Africa,using data from the Scopus database for the period 1999-2022.The results reveal an exponential growth in research in these fields,characterised by two distinct phases,while highlighting the remarkable productivity of certain African countries,such as Morocco,South Africa,Egypt and Ethiopia.These results provide an overview of the trend in research on geoheritage,geoconservation,geotourism and geoparks in Africa,and make it possible to monitor the evolution of scientific research and identify research priorities across the continent.This approach is proving extremely useful in providing crucial information to the research community,practitioners and decision-makers who are seeking to understand the dynamics of these disciplines in Africa,and wish to actively contribute to their development.

文摘Countries worldwide are leveraging the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)for build-ing a more resilient and sustainable future.One solution in this endeavour is transitioning towards a bioeconomy(BE),utilizing renewable resources and low-carbon value chains to meet food,energy,and materials demands.However,BE is neither inherently circular nor sustainable,compromising SDGs’progress.Therefore,we con-ducted a detailed ex-post analysis using correlation,transfer entropy,and network analysis to understand the complex causal interactions between BE and SDGs.Moving beyond correlation,we explored the directional in-fluence of interactions within the BE-SDG nexus.Our findings reveal a robust bidirectional influence between 19 BE criteria and 109 SDG targets across all goals among 48 European countries.While BE can drive progress to-ward SDGs,a balanced distribution of synergies and trade-offs constrains its impact.Collaborative efforts among European countries would effectively drive towards achieving both BE and SDGs.SDG 13 has positive influences from lowered fossil fuel emissions and negative ones due to land use changes and intensified agriculture,which releases stored carbon.Similarly,SDG 15 emerges as a positive influence,as healthy ecosystem services foster a resilient BE.Despite efforts towards SDG 12,Europe’s unsustainable consumption impedes BE supply chains.While BE practices are intended to accelerate sustainability,they fall short of playing a transformational role in achieving the SDGs.A shift towards a cohesive,collaborative strategy that leverages synergies and mitigates trade-offs can enhance the BE’s impact,advancing Europe closer to achieving the 2030 Agenda.

文摘In-depth study of the components of polymyxins is the key to controlling the quality of this class of antibiotics.Similarities and variations of components present significant analytical challenges.A two-dimensional(2D)liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)method was established for screening and comprehensive profiling of compositions of the antibiotic colistimethate sodium(CMS).A high concentration of phosphate buffer mobile phase was used in the first-dimensional LC system to get the components well separated.For efficient and high-accuracy screening of CMS,a targeted method based on a self-constructed high resolution(HR)mass spectrum database of CMS components was established.The database was built based on the commercial MassHunter Personal Compound Database and Library(PCDL)software and its accuracy of the compound matching result was verified with six known components before being applied to genuine sample screening.On this basis,the unknown peaks in the CMS chromatograms were deduced and assigned.The molecular formula,group composition,and origins of a total of 99 compounds,of which the combined area percentage accounted for more than 95%of CMS components,were deduced by this 2D-LC-MS method combined with the MassHunter PCDL.This profiling method was highly efficient and could distinguish hundreds of components within 3 h,providing reliable results for quality control of this kind of complex drugs.
