Climate change impacts on the social-ecological conditions that communities depend on may increase the vulnerabilities to new conflicts. Yet, the communities that will be most impacted by climate change, as noted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), are already conflict-affected communities. Here, we present the results of a systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies (n = 212) in Spanish and English on the climate-conflict relationship. We found that most studies are focused on a direct relationship between climate change and violent conflict, and there has been less attention on a contextual or indirect relationship in already conflict-affected communities. Studies on this contextual or indirect relationship suggest a climate change-conflict cycle that is negatively reinforcing, whereby violent conflict increases climate change vulnerability and feedback from climate change increases violent conflict vulnerability. While limited in number, such studies provide important insights enabling further conceptual development and empirical examination of how climate impacts interact with violent conflict, and how governance efforts can simultaneously support peacebuilding and climate change adaptation. Drawing this work together with the latest frameworks in conflict studies and adaptation, we sketch out a promising synthetic agenda, focusing on how to design policies and projects that build synergistic capacities and address cumulative and interactive impacts of climate change and violent conflict. Without such insight, efforts to treat climate and conflict in parallel may be ineffective or even counterproductive, worsening violent conflict and, in turn, further reducing the capacities of communities to build peace and resilience. Los efectos del cambio clim & aacute;tico en las condiciones socio ecol & oacute;gicas de las que dependen las comunidades puede aumentar la vulnerabilidad a nuevos conflictos.

ObjectiveThis study was conducted to culturally adapt the Epilepsy-Related Apathy Scale in Adults with Epilepsy (E-RAS) to Turkish and to assess its psychometric properties in adult epilepsy patients. MethodsA total of 172 epilepsy patients receiving care at the Neurology clinic and outpatient clinic of F & imath;rat University Hospital from February to July 2023 were included in this methodological investigation. The E-RAS was translated into Turkish, and its content and construct validity were thoroughly examined. Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was evaluated through item analyses, internal consistency analysis, composite reliability coefficient, and mean explained variance analysis. ResultsThe factor loadings of the scale items ranged from 0.66 to 0.89. The fit index values of the scale were X-2 = 467.09, df = 245 (p <0.05), X-2/df = 1.9, RMSEA = 0.073, CFI = 0.97, RMR = 0.046, SRMR = 0.057, TLI = 0.97, and AIC = 557.09. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the sub-dimensions of the scale ranged from 0.880 to 0.992, and the total Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.928. The total McDonald's omega coefficient was 0.916, and the McDonald's omega coefficients of the sub-dimensions ranged from 0.880 to 0.947. The Turkish form of the 24-item and 4-sub-dimensional scale was validated without any changes to the original scale form. SignificanceThe Turkish adaptation of E-RAS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring apathy in adult epilepsy patients. Its use in clinical practice is strongly recommended. Plain Language SummaryThe E-RAS scale can be used to assess apathy in adults with epilepsy. The was determined that the adapted Turkish form had a similar structure to the original scale. It was determined that the E-RAS scale is valid and reliable in Turkish culture. The fact that the Turkish adaptation of the scale is similar to the original structure and other adapted c

ObjectiveThe present study examined the validity and reliability of the Nurses' Professional Values Scale (Nurses' PVS) by adapting it to Turkish. MethodsThis methodological study was conducted with 297 nurses who agreed to participate in the study by using the Snowball Sampling Method. The study data were collected using the Descriptive Data Form and Nurses' PVS. The data were evaluated using the Content Validity Index, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's Alpha, McDonald's Omega Reliability, and test-retest analysis. ResultsFactor load values of the scale items were found to vary between 0.590 and 0.960. The fit index values were found to be X-2 = 102.87, df = 398 (p < 0.05), X-2/df = 2.77, RMSEA = 0.077, CFI = 0.99, RMR = 0.045, SRMR = 0.051 and TLI = 0.97. It was also found that the Cronbach's Alpha Coefficients of the sub-dimensions of the scale varied between 0.896 and 0.977, and the total Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient was 0.958. The total McDonald's Omega Coefficient was .958, and the McDonald's Omega Coefficients of the sub-dimensions varied between .896-.977. The Turkish form of the 30-item and 4-subdimensional scale was confirmed without any changes in the original scale form. ConclusionThe Turkish version of the Nurses' PVS is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the values that nurses care about. Clinical trial numberNot applicable.

How do scientists navigate between the need to capitalize on their prior knowledge through specialization, and the urge to adapt to evolving research opportunities? Drawing from diverse perspectives on adaptation, this paper proposes an unsupervised Bayesian approach motivated by Optimal Transport of the evolution of scientists' research portfolios in response to transformations in their field. The model relies on 186,162\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$186{,}162$\end{document} scientific abstracts and authorship data to evaluate the influence of intellectual, social, and institutional resources on scientists' trajectories within a cohort of 2108 high-energy physicists between 2000 and 2019. Using Inverse Optimal Transport, the reallocation of research efforts is shown to be shaped by learning costs, thus enhancing the utility of the scientific capital disseminated among scientists. Two dimensions of social capital, namely "diversity" and "power", have opposite associations with the magnitude of change in scientists' research interests: while "diversity" is associated with greater change and expansion of research portfolios, "power" is associated with more stable research agendas. Social capital plays a more crucial role in shifts between cognitively distant research areas. More generally, this work suggests new approaches for understanding, measuring and modeling collective adaptation using Optimal Transport.

This study aims to empirically investigate heat stress of urban greenways, identify suitable routes for pedestrians, understand the riskiest sections and most critical periods, and generate implications for adding positive heat mitigation and adaptation interventions. The study was conducted experimentally and numerically in an educational precinct in Chongqing, China. The results verified that campus greenways, compared with unshaded and built areas, exhibited weaker heat stress on both normal and extreme heat days. However, the heat stress of campus greenway network reached extremely high levels at 12:00 and 14:00 on both days, posing heat-related risks to pedestrians. Even though, heat stress of possible routes connecting key infrastructure on the campus exhibited spatiotemporal heterogeneity in aspects of cumulative heat stress, time-averaged cumulative heat stress, maximum transient heat stress, and minimum transient heat stress, indicating the possibility of identifying more favorable routes for better adaptation. A series of heat stress comparisons based on different assessment indicators identified the best routes for walking, while the riskiest sections between 12:00 and 14:00 on each route suggested existing campus greenway network cannot fully assist pedestrians in avoiding heat-related threats. More positive heat mitigation and adaptation interventions should be integrated into campus planning, design, and management to alleviate heat stress and enhance adaptation capacity. This study advances the knowledge of synergizing greenways for low-carbon transportation (e.g., walking and cycling) and adaptation to extreme heat. It also demonstrates how to identify suitable routes and integrate positive heat mitigation and adaptation interventions to build a more heat-resilient urban greenway system.

As a double-edged sword, some bacterial microbes can improve the quality and shelf life of meat products, but others mainly responsible for deterioration of the safety and quality of meat products. This review aims to present a landscape of the bacterial microbiota in different types of processed meat products. After demonstrating a panoramic view of the bacterial genera in meat products, the diversity of bacterial microbiota was evaluated in two dimensions, namely different types of processed meat products and different meats. Then, the influence of environmental factors on bacterial communities was evaluated according to the storage temperature, packaging conditions, and sterilization methods. Furthermore, microbes are not independent. To explore interactions among those genera, co-occurrence patterns were examined. In these respects, this review highlighted the recent advances in fundamental principles that underlie the environmental adaption tricks and why some species tend to occur together frequently, such as metabolic cross-feeding, co-aggregate at microscale, and the intercellular signaling system. Further investigations are required to unveil the underlying molecular mechanisms that govern microbial community systems, ultimately contributing to developing new strategies to harness beneficial microorganisms and control harmful microorganisms.

While it is known that warming and rising CO2 level might interactively affect the long-term adaptation of marine diatoms, the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying these interactions in the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii on an evolutionary scale remain largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the changes in metabolic pathways and physiological responses of T. weissflogii under long-term ocean acidification and/or warming conditions (similar to 3.5 years), integrating proteomics analyses and physiological measurements. Our findings reveal that proteins involved in central carbon metabolisms (e.g., tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis) and fatty acid metabolism were significantly up-regulated in the long-term warming-adapted populations. However, the long-term adaptation to high CO2 acted antagonistically with warming, slowing down the central carbon metabolism and fatty acid metabolism by down-regulating protein expressions in the key metabolic pathways of the glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Additionally, amino acid synthesis was accelerated in the long-term warming and its combination with high CO2-adapted populations. Physiological measurements further supported these findings, showing altered growth rates and metabolic activity under the combined warming and high CO2 conditions. Our results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underpinning the antagonistic interaction between high CO2 and warming on marine phytoplankton in the context of global change.

Over the years, thousands of climate change adaptation projects have been implemented globally. While there has been substantial scholarship on the extent and nature of adaptation efforts, fewer studies have examined why and how adaptation projects are being resisted. An analysis of resistance to adaptation offers critical insights to scholars and practitioners by recognizing the contentious nature of adaptation pathways and highlighting alternative visions for adaptation. Drawing on 20 case studies identified through a systematic review of the literature, we identify nine insights for research and practice. First, there is little literature on resistance to adaptation, suggesting that it is being underreported. Second, resistance to adaptation is not an anomaly, spanning sectors, actors, and geographies. Third, resistance to adaptation initiatives often has little to do with climate change skepticism. Fourth, the modes and outcomes of resistance are creative and diverse. Fifth, the state plays a critical, but not uniform, role in adaptation and thus resistance. Sixth, formal participation mechanisms can accommodate, neutralize, or facilitate resistance to adaptation. Seventh, the diverse goals of resistance reflect the multiplicity of imagined adaptation futures. Eighth, resistance is generative of material outcomes and novel subjectivities. Ninth, resistance can be costly, fracturing, and ineffective. This review highlights the need to further investigate resistance to climate change adaptation, which should be seen as a site of political struggle between different conceptions of what adaptation is and should be. It also provides insights for identifying maladaptation and pathways toward more emancipative forms of adaptation.
