abstract = {Landslides present a significant hazard to human life, infrastructure, and property, particularly in mountainous regions. In Morocco, these risks have garnered increased attention due to their detrimental impact. This study seeks to model landslide susceptibility using three machine learning classifiers (MLCs): Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Random Forest (RF), and Adaptive Boosting Classifier (AdaBoost), and compare their performance. Initially, 144 landslide sites were identified, and thirteen factors pertaining to landslides were considered. The models’ performance was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). The findings reveal that AUC values range from 68.7% for AdaBoost to 82.2% for RF. The generated landslide susceptibility maps can aid decision-makers in avoiding areas with a high susceptibility to landslides. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

abstract = {The use of remote sensing for monitoring and managing droughts is examined in this review study. Drought has a significant impact on how water resources are managed and agricultural production is produced, and remote sensing is a vital technique for assessing and monitoring the severity of drought. A number of remote sensing data sources are discussed in the paper; including precipitation, groundwater and surface water storage, soil moisture, land surface temperature, evaporation, and agricultural indicators. With the use of these data sources, drought indices and indicators that measure the severity and spatiotemporal fluctuations of the drought may be developed. The novel approach of this review study emphasizes the benefits of using remote sensing to gain a full understanding of drought dynamics and to accurately capture fine-scale fluctuations in drought conditions. However, the study also highlights certain limitations, including issues related to data accessibility, data interpretation, and validation difficulties. It emphasizes the significance of using remote sensing to promote the developing policies and strategies to enhance drought resilience and adaptation. The importance of continuous research, technical development, and stakeholder cooperation in order to fully realize remote sensing's promise for tackling the complex problems associated with drought and promoting sustainable water resource management. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature 2024.},

abstract = {This study analyses intriguing tubular fossils derived from the Upper Permian deposits of southern China. The fossils’ structure is diagenetically altered by silicification precluding an unambiguous systematic assignment. However, the general morphology and tube architecture strongly imply a relationship with tube-dwelling organisms of different affinity such as tentaculitoids and tube-dwelling polychaetes. Due to the simple morphology of the tubes lacking any ornamentation, as well as the encrustation mode of some individuals, the investigated specimens most likely belong to early sabellids. Although calcareous sabellids persisted since the Middle Permian, their distribution and abundance during the Permian were confined to a single occurrence. If the fossils studied indeed represent sabellids, the global range and abundance of this group during the late Palaeozoic was likely more extensive than currently assumed. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

abstract = {The Pannonian-Carpathian-Alpine Seismic Experiment (PACASE) is a collaborative project based on a large, passive seismic network comprising 214 temporary stations. Among the primary aims are the imaging of the Earth’s crustal, lithospheric and upper mantle structure, including joint inversions; monitoring and mapping of seismic activity; and interpretation of the data from seismotectonic and geodynamic perspectives. The base of the cooperation is a high-quality, broadband seismic network covering the very centre of Europe: the Eastern Alpine and Western Carpathian Mountain ranges, the Bohemian Massif, and the sedimentary Molasse and Pannonian Basins. In this overview, we focus on the implementation and achieved field goals of PACASE, such as seismic station configuration, general network organization, data availability and access to the dataset. With selected seismological examples, we demonstrate the good usability of the records of earthquake detection, and a first publication attests to the structural imaging capability of the PACASE data. We assess the background noise level at various stations and its variations in time and space. Our aim is to collect all practical information relevant to serve as a long-term reference for the PACASE. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {The exploitation carried out in the Bielszowice part of the Ruda Hard Coal Mine is mainly accompanied by seismic and rock burst hazards. The occurrence of high-energy tremors may be associated with many factors, e.g., fracturing of thick layers of high-strength rocks or destruction processes of a stressed and/or thick coal seam. These factors are often combined when excavating a single longwall panel. Determining the causes of strong tremors is of fundamental importance for mining and rock burst prevention. The extraction of the 004z longwall panel in the top layer of coal seam No. 504 was designed in complex geological and mining conditions. During the mining of the 004z longwall panel, strong tremors with energies of 105 J and 106 J occurred. The analysis of the focal mechanisms of these tremors using the seismic moment tensor inversion method allowed to determine the most probable causes of their occurrence. They were mainly related to the processes of fracture and slip in the thick layers of sandstone deposited in the direct or main roof of coal seam No. 504. Therefore, active rock burst prevention was aimed mainly at fracturing high-strength roof rocks. © Central Mining Institute, Katowice, Poland.},

abstract = {The goal of this research was a quantitative-spatial high-resolution analysis of population distribution based on residential building data extracted from topographic objects database. Attribute information on residential buildings (location; volume; function) provides opportunities to estimate the number of residents. The recalculation of the population from the urban units of Cracow into new spatial units was based on the area-weighted aggregation method. The location of residential buildings constituted a limiting variable, and the total square meterage (calculated as the area of the buildings and the number of their floors) constituted the binding variable. The introduction of additional binding variables related to the type of building and its location, as well as various methods of determining the square meterage per building type, resulted in the creation of a total of nineteen maps of population. As a result, the best methods for the correct geographic scale and segmentation of residential building type—single family or multifamily—were identified. For the input data, based solely on the amount of population in urban units, the calculated value of the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) in the 1 × 1 km grid was 310.8 percent, and for the root mean square error (RMSE) was 1,476 people. In the dasymetric method, directly associating the population with the volume of residential buildings, the errors fell to 21.9 percent and 632 people, respectively. The best result was obtained for the variant based on minimizing the RMSE, associating the number of residents to single-family buildings (2.88 people/building) and associating the number of residents to the square footage in multifamily buildings (37.1 m2/person; MAPE = 19.2 percent; RMSE = 556 people). © 2024 by American Association of Geographers.},

abstract = {The Arabian Plate is surrounded by seismically highly active margins, while the plate interior is seemingly aseismic. To add unknown events to the historical catalog, new archeoseismological studies of four intraplate sites are presented here. We surveyed buildings seeking evidence of seismic damage and/or following reconstructions, assigned destruction intensity values, and dated destruction events based on building stratigraphy and historical sources. Qalhat in northern Oman is a ruined Medieval city. It is > 300 km from the closest plate boundary of the Makran subduction. An earthquake caused I = VII damage in 1494, from which it recovered. The next event, causing I = XI damage, occurred between 1570 and 1592 AD, yielding destruction. Julfar city near Ras al-Khaimah (United Arab Emirates), > 100 km from the Zagros collision zone, suffered I = VIII damage in the late fifteenth century. Palmyra (Syria) is > 180 km from the Dead Sea Fault. A preliminary survey identified evidence for earthquake(s) causing I = VII and more severe damage. Umm al-Jimal in northern Jordan is > 70 km from the Dead Sea Fault. I = VII damage occurred in the city during late Byzantine times, between 550 and 650 AD, from which it recovered. However, following I = IX damage at the end of the Umayyad period, it was abandoned. It is suggested that systematic archeoseismological studies can provide evidence for destructive earthquakes in Arabia, for which written documentation was lost. Promising sites are along the coasts of the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian (Persian) Gulf, the Zagros foreland in Iraq and Syria, eastern Jordan, the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, and much of Yemen. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.},

abstract = {This study investigated the pancreas differentiation of two species of gekkotan families—the mourning gecko Lepidodactylus lugubris (Gekkonidae) and the leopard gecko Eublepharis macularius (Eublepharidae)—based on two-dimensional (2D) histological samples and three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of the position of the pancreatic buds and the surrounding organs. The results showed that at the moment of egg laying, the pancreas of L. lugubris is composed of three distinct primordia: one dorsal and two ventral. The dorsal primordium differentiates earlier than either ventral primordium. The right ventral primordium is more prominent and distinctive, starting to form earlier than the left one. Moreover, at this time, the pancreas of the leopard gecko is composed of the dorsal and right ventral primordium and the duct of the left ventral primordium. It means that the leopard gecko's left primordium is a transitional structure. These results indicate that the early development of the gekkotan pancreas is species specific. The pancreatic buds of the leopard and mourning gecko initially enter the duodenum by separate outlets, similar to the pancreas of other vertebrates. The pancreatic buds (3 of the mourning gecko and 2 of the leopard gecko) fuse quickly and form an embryonic pancreas. After that, the structure of this organ changes. After fusion, the pancreas of both gekkotans comprises four parts: the head of the pancreas (central region) and three lobes: upper, splenic, and lower. This organ develops gradually and is very well distinguished at hatching time. In both gekkotan species, cystic, hepatic, and pancreatic ducts enter the duodenum within the papilla. During gekkotan pancreas differentiation, the connection between the common bile duct and the dorsal pancreatic duct is associated with intestinal rotation, similar to other vertebrates. © 2024 Anatomical Society.},

abstract = {Biomass, primarily derived from photosynthesizing plants harnessing solar energy, is crucial for ecosystem functioning and diverse services. This study delved into the unique ecosystem of coal mine heaps, exploring unexpected relations between abiotic factors and biomass in spontaneous vegetation. Biomass quantity and quality are influenced by such factors as plant photosynthesis efficiency, necessitating an understanding of dynamics on post-mining sites. The conducted investigation focused on diverse spontaneous vegetation on coal mine heaps, analyzing abiotic conditions such as soil texture, water holding capacity, pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, carbon, magnesium, sodium, and acidity. Contrary to the adopted hypothesis, nitrogen content negatively correlates with soil total nitrogen, carbon, and water holding capacity. However, the biomass of dominant plant species positively correlates with available phosphorus, pH, calcium, and sodium. These unexpected relationships highlight biomass dynamics complexity in novel ecosystems on coal mine heaps, stressing the need to consider spontaneous vegetation biomass as a valuable resource and ecosystem service in urban-industry landscapes. The obtained findings expand scientific inquiry and have practical implications for post-industrial area reclamation. Understanding biomass potential in identified vegetation types provides insights into biomass character on coal mine heaps, crucial for maximizing spontaneous vegetation potential and transforming post-industrial landscape reclamation approaches. © (2024), (Polskie Towarzystwo Inzynierii Ekologicznej (PTIE)).

abstract = {Urban watercourses are an essential part of blue-green infrastructure (BGI) that can mitigate the negative impact of habitat loss resulting from urbanization. Many studies on temperate urban bats activity did not concern its seasonal variations. Our work evaluated the bats’ activity and occurrence in different urban riverside environments throughout the vegetation period. Our results showed that long-range echolocators were represented mainly by Nyctalus noctula. Their activity peak occurred in late summer in open habitats of high anthropogenic pressure levels, and at least part of the population was present year-round in the city. Recently reported from Cracow: Hypsugo savii and Pipistrellus kuhlii were confirmed in the medium-range echolocators. The high occurrence of P. pygmeus with a relatively low P. pipistrellus was noteworthy and is probably a result of the low competitiveness of the latter in the presence of P. kuhlii. Two spring and late summer activity peaks on different rivers suggest different migration corridors from and to hibernacula. However, the autumn activity in the city center may also indicate partial hibernation in the old town. The activity peak of short-range echolocators occurred in spring, as expected - mainly in a narrow riverbed and low anthropogenic pressure environments. However, ambiguous spring and late summer activity in the open with the highest anthropogenic pressure environment may result from the rapidly progressing synurbization of M. daubentonii. Our results indicate the need to monitor the bat adaptation process to the cities in the context of dynamic climatic and environmental changes. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {Assessing the degradation of river channels is crucial in the Anthropocene era, particularly in the deltaic areas worldwide. The present study aims to investigate the degradation of the Mathabhanga-Churni River giving emphasis on the temporal change of channel morphology and hydraulic behaviour and comparing the current situation with the historical past based on planform morphology and meander geometry of 118 meander loops, and width, depth, cross-sectional area, and hydraulic behaviour (velocity; discharge; stream power) at 47 cross-sections. The absence of lateral dynamicity, the static character of channel sinuosity during the last century (1913–2018), and the constant meander morphology reflects the static meander geometry and degradation of the river. The reduction of average channel width, depth, and cross-sectional area supports the falling trend of channel forms. Findings on hydraulic behaviour indicate declining discharge (~50% reduction during 1915–2018) that induces the present-day downscaled velocity and lowered stream power. Neotectonics (eastward tilting of the Bengal delta) and anthropogenic stressors such as stream crossings, agriculture on river beds, brickfields, and urbanisation have a severe impact on the hydromorphology of the channel, turning the active river into a stagnant and polluted channel. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

It was found in ferrite-rich segregations of esseneite-gehlenite-wollastonite-anorthite melted rock of the 'olive' subunit of pyrometamorphic rocks located near Hatrurim Junction in the Negev Desert, Israel. Within these ferrite-rich segregations up tu 100 μm in size, platy crystals of gorerite up to 50 μm in size intergrow with hibonite, hematite, maghemite, magnesioferrite, dorrite, barioferrite, and andradite, forming aggregates. Additionally, small crystals of gorerite occur within magnesioferrite. Importantly, gorerite did not directly crystallize from the melt. Instead, it emerged through a reaction involving earlier crystallized hibonite and an iron-enriched melt, resulting in the partial or complete replacement of hibonite by gorerite. Gorerite appears grey in the reflected light (R = 18-23%), displaying distinct bireflectance: dark-grey perpendicular to Z, light-grey parallel to Z. Its Raman spectrum exhibits only one strong band at 700 cm-1, which shifts to higher frequencies with increasing Al content. Gorerite crystallizes in the P63/mmc space group, with lattice parameters a = 5.8532(4)Å},

Relying primarily on stakeholder interviews, we traced back and reconstructed the project’s development, including its key tipping points reflecting the changing societal preferences for particular measures, yet also the involvement of individual actors/stakeholders, and their differing views. The case eventually crystallized into the “dam versus polder” dispute; concerned by the repercussions for the local landscape, a joint initiative of NGOs, local activists, and politicians not only opposed the dam variant proposed by the state river basin administration but also succeeded in pushing through the alternative scheme of side dry polder. While in many ways specific (e.g. not entailing local resistance), the case exemplifies recent shifts (and respective struggles) within flood risk management, including the increasing importance attributed to complex, catchment-wide perspectives, joint local and scientific knowledge, participatory decision-making processes, or implementation of nature-based and hybrid solutions. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {High temperatures associated with climate change may increase the severity of plant diseases. This study investigated the effect of heat shock treatment on host and non-host barley powdery mildew interactions using brassinosteroid (BR) mutants of barley. Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones, but so far little is known about their role in plant-fungal interactions. Wild type barley cultivar Bowman and its near-isogenic lines with disturbances in BR biosynthesis or signalling showed high compatibility to barley powdery mildew race A6, while cultivar Delisa and its BR-deficient mutants 522DK and 527DK were fully incompatible with this pathogen (host plant-pathogen interactions). On the other hand, Bowman and its mutants were highly resistant to wheat powdery mildew, representing non-host plant-pathogen interactions. Heat pre-treatment induced shifts in these plant-pathogen interactions towards higher susceptibility. In agreement with the more severe disease symptoms, light microscopy showed a decrease in papillae formation and hypersensitive response, characteristic of incompatible interactions, when heat pre-treatment was applied. Mutant 527DK, but not 522DK, maintained high resistance to barley powdery mildew race A6 despite heat pre-treatment. By 10 days after heat treatment and infection, a noticeable shift became apparent in the chlorophyll a fluorescence and in various leaf reflectance parameters at all genotypes. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {The Khanom Core Complex in Peninsular Thailand is a part of the crystalline basement of Sundaland and plays a key role in our understanding of the evolution of Thailand and SE Asia. The complex comprises ortho- and paragneisses, schists, meta-volcanics, subordinate calcsilicate rocks, and postkinematic granitoids. New petrochronological data reveal that the sedimentation and metamorphism of the paragneiss precursors (Haad Nai Phlao complex; Khao Yoi paragneisses) occurred in the Late Cambrian at the latest. A syn- to postsedimentary andesitic intrusion/extrusion in the Haad Nai Phlao complex at 495 ± 10 Ma defines a minimum age for the former event(s). In the Early Ordovician (477 ± 7 Ma), the Haad Nai Phlao complex and the Khao Yoi paragneisses were intruded by the Khao Dat Fa granite. During the Indosinian orogenic events, the Laem Thong Yang (211 ± 2 Ma) and Haad Nai Phlao (210 ± 2 Ma) granitoid plutons were intruded. Immediately afterward (ca. 208-205 Ma), the first metamorphic overprinting of the Laem Thong Yang granite and the Haad Nai Phlao complex including the Khao Dat Fa granite occurred. A second metamorphic overprinting of all lithological units and the contemporaneous intrusion of the Khao Pret granite followed in the Late Cretaceous and Early Paleogene (ca. 80-68 Ma). The tectonic formation of the core complex took place in the Eocene (<42 Ma), followed by exhumation and regional cooling below ca. 450°C and the latest cooling to ca. 120°C in the Miocene (ca. 20 Ma). The evolutionary data show that the Khanom Core Complex is part of Sibumasu, and its Late Cretaceous-Neogene cooling pattern and exhumation history can be directly related to the northward drift of India. © 2024 Urs S.

abstract = {Strigolactone signaling pathway is based on an F-box–mediated cascade reaction. The critical step in starting the signal transduction is perception of strigolactone molecule by receptor DWARF 14 (D14). The binding of hormone molecule by D14 results in conformational change of the receptor, which is required for interaction with other components of the strigolactone signaling pathway. At the same time, a conservative catalytic motif (Ser96; His246; Asp217) of D14 leads to the hydrolysis of strigolactone molecule. Thus, D14 acts as a dual-functional receptor, responsible for strigolactone perception and strigolactone molecule degradation. Further, the signal relay leads to the formation of SKP-CULLIN-F-BOX (SCF) complex and repressor degradation via 26S proteasome. Mutation in genes encoding the core components of strigolactone signaling pathway results in semidwarfism and greater number of lateral shoots and roots of plants. Additionally, the mutant’s phenotype cannot be rescued by strigolactone treatment. Our knowledge about the genes encoding transcription factors (TFs), which regulate the plant’s response to strigolactones, remains elusive. The role of only a few strigolactone-dependent TFs was experimentally confirmed, including BRANCHED1 (BRC1) protein. The BRC1 is well known to act locally in buds and regulates the shoot branching by inhibiting the axillary bud outgrowth. However, to describe how strigolactones regulate other aspects of plant development and plant response to stresses, it is necessary to characterize the new TFs which are involved in strigolactone signal transduction. This remains the biggest challenge that will allow us to understand how strigolactones act. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {This research is focused on examining the link between the abiotic conditions of coal mine heaps (specifically; the type of spontaneous vegetation) and their respiration rates. The hypothesis is that there is a significant correlation between the carbon content of the soil substrate and the respiration rate of the coal mine heap among the abiotic factors studied. The investigation was carried out on the mineral material found in coal mining heaps, which consisted of Carboniferous mineral rock material. The fieldwork spanned the vegetation seasons from 2018 to 2022. Various physicochemical parameters of the substrate samples were analyzed, including soil organic carbon content, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, total nitrogen (TN), available forms of phosphorus (P2O5) content, available magnesium (MgO) concentration, exchangeable cations (K+; Na+), and moisture. Soil respiration measurements were taken using the TARGAZ -1 analyzer. The amount of carbon dioxide released at the sites studied ranged from 0.00158 to 1.21462 [g CO2/m2/h]. It was found that the carbon content and all the environmental factors tested had a significant impact on soil respiration (p = 0.001), except total nitrogen (p = 0.893). The factors most strongly correlated with soil respiration were potassium (K), alkaline phosphatase, and SRL (soil respiration). Of the taxa analyzed, only the below-ground conditions provided by the vegetation communities dominated by Centaurea stoebe showed a significant correlation with SRL. Three dominant plant species influenced the development of below-ground conditions, leading to negative effects. On the other hand, the below-ground conditions associated with vegetation patches dominated by Daucus carota showed the strongest negative correlation. © (2024), (Polskie Towarzystwo Inzynierii Ekologicznej (PTIE)).

abstract = {Over the last few decades, nanotechnology has become one of the leading and most promising scientific discoveries, offering extraordinary progress in the research, production, and practical application of nanomaterials. The global nanotechnology is undeniably dominated by metal-based nanoparticles (NPs). The exponential growth in the production and applications of NPs is related to their distinctive and valuable properties, distinguishing them from their larger-scale counterparts. A unique feature of inorganic NPs is their antimicrobial activity, consisting of a multi-faceted, pleiotropic, and non-specific mode of action on various biomolecules and metabolic processes. Due to the rise in the production of NPs, large amounts of NPs are released uncontrollably and accumulated in the natural environment, posing an inevitable threat to microorganisms and other living organisms. Although the number of studies on the synthesis and use of NPs is growing dynamically, reports on the impact of NPs on the functionality of microorganisms (especially non-target microorganisms) are still insufficient [1;2]. In particular, little is known about the interaction of NPs with the bacterial cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane. These mechanisms require further and in-depth elucidation because direct and indirect interactions of NPs with the bacterial outer layers can lead to permanent damage to protective barriers, destabilisation of membrane potential, structural changes, increased membrane permeability and lipid peroxidation, disruption of transport activity, uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, leakage of intracellular contents and disturbances in the respiratory metabolism [2-4]. This research aimed to explore and understand the action of metal-based NPs including Ag-NPs (cat. no. 576832; SigmaAldrich; <nm), Cu-NPs (cat. no. 774081; Sigma-Aldrich; 25 nm), ZnO-NPs (cat. no. 677450; Sigma-Aldrich; < and TiO2-NPs (cat. no. US1019F; US Research; 20 nm) on the structure and properties of Gram-positive Bacillus cereus (ATCC® 11778TM) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC® 12228TM) outer layers. The performed analyses concerned the assessment of cell membrane permeability; determination of cytoplasmic leakage; cellular ATP levels and ATPase activity; changes in the fatty acid profiling and the distribution and specific interactions of NPs with the surface of bacterial cells [4]. The results confirmed the differentiated effects of inorganic NPs on the metabolic processes and structure of tested bacteria; depending on their concentration and type of NPs. Undeniably; NPs caused significant changes in the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane; which were correlated with alternations in the leakage of intracellular contents together with the cellular ATP concentrations. Consequently; NPs induced considerable modifications in the composition and percentages of the analysed fatty acids; especially within the cyclopropane fatty acid abundances. Furthermore; it was established that B. cereus was more resistant to the NPs toxic activity than S. epidermidis. The multi-directional analysis indisputably contributed to a thorough comprehension of NPs biological activity toward microorganisms and provided insight into their distinguished interactions with bacterial outer layers [4]. The collected dataset fills a gap in the literature regarding NPs toxicity and complex molecular action on microbial cells and constitutes a valuable contribution to future research. © 2024; Avestia Publishing.

abstract = {Accurate and timely mapping of flood extent is crucial for effective disaster response and management. However, existing methods often face challenges in integrating diverse data sources and leveraging advanced techniques for precise inundation mapping. This research aimed to address this gap by proposing and evaluating four different methods for improving flood extent mapping in Sindh, Pakistan, by integrating various data sources, including precipitation, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), buildings, population, and optical data. The first strategy involves categorizing post-flood SAR data immediately using non-parametric (Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF)), parametric (Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE)), and cluster (ISO) algorithms for Vertical transmit and Vertical received (VV) and Vertical transmit and Horizontal received (VH) polarisations. The second method relies on Otsu's method for automatic thresholding on post-flood event VH and VV data. The third approach utilizes both pre- and post-flood event data by creating a stack of Pre-event VH, Pre-event VV, Post-event VH, and Post-event VV data, which is then classified using the SVM, RF, MLE, and ISO algorithms. Lastly, the fourth method employs the stack of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) bands, consisting of PCA components 1, 2, and 3, to categorize data for flooding using the SVM, RF, MLE, and ISO algorithms. The rationale behind evaluating these diverse methods was to identify the most effective approach for accurately mapping flood extent by exploiting the strengths of different algorithms and data processing techniques. The accuracy and precision of these approaches were rigorously evaluated using Landsat-9 Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) as a reference dataset, along with error matrix and compound value (Cv) metrics. The findings show that a PCA-based technique with SVM is marginally superior (based on the overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient with a value of 92.20 % and kappa coefficient 0.821) than the other approaches tested in the study. By reducing the dimensionality of the dataset while preserving relevant information, PCA offers a computationally efficient approach to flood extent mapping. Among all the approaches, the collective performance of the algorithms was computed using the Cv metric. The SVM algorithm with a Cv of 1.25 demonstrated the best performance, followed by the RF algorithm with Cv of 1.5, and the MLE algorithm with Cv of 2.5. The worst performing algorithm among all is found to be ISO with Cv of 4. It comes into view that first and second approach underperformed in VH polarisation compared to the VV polarisation and provide a more accurate representation of flooded area in VV polarisation. The flood extent with highest accuracy, together with the world's gridded population, latest Microsoft's Global ML Building Footprints, and OpenStreetMap building data are used in conjunction to estimate the number of people and buildings at risk within the study area. © 2024 COSPAR},

abstract = {Allanite, a member of the epidote supergroup, is a widespread rare earth element (REE)-rich accessory mineral in the late Archean Closepet batholith (Dharwar craton; India). It is commonly associated with titanite. Previously recognized shear zones served as preferential paths for magma and later fluids. As a response to hydrothermal activity, allanite exhibits complex alteration textures, geochemical features, and breakdown products that vary across the batholith. In the central zone, allanite displays the largest variations. It has decomposed into secondary allanite, bastnäsite, chlorite, thorite, calcite, pyrite, and galena. In the southern zone, magmatic allanite core is preserved. The alteration products in the marginal regions are limited to secondary allanite, bastnäsite, chlorite, thorite, and synchysite. The breakdown products and textural features of allanite in the northern intrusions differ strongly from those in the other zones of the Closepet batholith and are limited to secondary allanite and chamosite. However, nanoscale element remobilization at the interface between allanite and titanite is evident. The observed texture in allanite indicates a complete dissolution–reprecipitation process. The chemical variations and differences in alteration products after allanite indicate that the fluid composition changed along the Closepet granitoid. The fluids that altered the allanite were most likely F-, Cl-, and CO2-rich and alkaline but eventually became acidic. When the chlorine-bearing fluids reached the northern zone, the concentrations or active contributions of CO2, F and H2S were very low. The alteration products (bastnäsite; chlorite; and thorite) indicate a rather low-temperature fluid. © 2024 The Authors},

abstract = {The decay of rivers and river water pollution are common problems worldwide. However, many works have been performed on decaying rivers in India, and the status of the water quality is still unknown in Jalangi River. To this end, the present study intends to examine the water quality of the Jalangi River to assess ecological status in both the spatial and seasonal dimensions. To depict the spatiality of ecological risks, 34 water samples were collected from the source to the sink of the Jalangi River with an interval of 10 km while 119 water samples were collected from a secondary source during 2012–2022 to capture the seasonal dynamics. In this work, the seasonality and spatiality of change in the river’s water quality have been explored. This study used the eutrophication index (EI), organic pollution index (OPI), and overall index of pollution (OIP) to assess the ecological risk. The results illustrated that the values of OPI range from 7.17 to 588, and the values of EI exceed the standard of 1, indicating the critical situation of the ecological status of Jalangi River. The value of OIP ranges between 2.67 and 3.91 revealing the slightly polluted condition of the river water. The study signified the ecological status of the river is in a critical situation due to elevated concentrations of biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, and low concentrations of dissolved oxygen. The present study found that stagnation of water flow in the river, primarily driven by the eastward tilting of the Bengal basin, triggered water pollution and ecological risk. Moreover, anthropogenic interventions in the form of riverbed agriculture and the discharge of untreated sewage from urban areas are playing a crucial role in deteriorating the water quality of the river. This decay needs substantial attention from the various stakeholders in a participatory manner. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.},

abstract = {New inorganic and organic geochemical data from thucholite in the Upper Permian (Wuchiapingian) Kupferschiefer (T1) shale collected at the Polkowice-Sieroszowice Cu-Ag mine in Poland are presented. Thucholite, which forms spherical or granular clusters, appears scattered in the T1 dolomitic shale at the oxic-anoxic boundary occurring within the same shale member. The composition of thucholite concretions and the T1 shale differs by a higher content of U- and REE-enriched mineral phases within the thucholite concretions compared to the T1 shale, suggesting a different mineralising history. The differences also comprise higher Ntot, Ctot, Htot, Stot contents and higher C/N, C/S ratios in thucholite than in the T1 shale. The hydrocarbon composition of the thucholite and the surrounding T1 shale also varies. Both are dominated by polycyclic aromatic compounds and their phenyl derivatives. However, higher abundances of unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the thucholite are indicative of its pyrogenic origin. Pyrolytic compounds such as benz[a]anthracene or benzo[a]pyrene are more typical of the thucholite than the T1 shale. Microscopic observations of the thucholite and its molecular composition suggest that it represents well-rounded small charcoal fragments. These charcoals were formed during low-temperature combustion, as confirmed by semifusinite reflectance values, indicating surface fire temperatures of about 400 °C, and the absence of the high-temperature pyrogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Charred detrital particles, likely the main source of insoluble organic matter in the thucholite, migrated to the sedimentary basin in the form of spherical carbonaceous particulates, which adsorbed uranium and REE in particular, which would further explain their different contents and sorption properties in the depositional environment. Finally, the difference in mineral content between thucholite and the T1 shale could also have been caused by microbes, which might have formed biofilms on mineral particles, and caused a change in the original mineral composition. © The Author(s) 2024.},

abstract = {The ultrastructural diversity of the Middle and Late Jurassic serpulid tubes from the Polish Basin has been investigated. The inspection of 12 taxa representing the two major serpulid clades allowed for the identification of three ultrastructure types—irregularly oriented prismatic structure (IOP), spherulitic prismatic structure (SPHP), and simple prismatic structure (SP). Six of the studied species are single-layered and six species possess two distinct layers. Ultrastructural diversity corresponds to certain serpulid clades. The members of Filograninae have single-layered tube walls composed of possibly plesiomorphic, irregularly oriented prismatic structure (IOP). Two-layered tubes occur solely within the clade Serpulinae, where the external, denser layer is built of either the ordered spherulitic (SPHP) or simple prismatic microstructure (SP), and the internal layer is composed of irregularly oriented prismatic structure (IOP). Apart from phylogenetic signals provided by the tube ultrastructure, it can be used in analyzing paleoecological aspects of tube-dwelling polychaetes. Compared to the more primitive, irregularly oriented microstructures of Filograninae, the regularly oriented microstructures of Serpulinae need a higher level of biological control over biomineralization. The advent of the dense outer protective layer (DOL) in serpulids, as well as the general increase in ultrastructure diversity, was likely a result of the evolutionary importance of the tubes for serpulids. Such diversity of the tube ultrastructural fabrics allowed for maximizing functionality by utilizing a variety of morphogenetic programs. The biomineralization system of serpulids remains more complex compared to other tube-dwelling polychaetes. Physiologically more expensive tube formation allows for mechanical strengthening of the tube by building robust, strongly ornamented tubes and firm attachment to the substrate. Contrary to sabellids, which perform a fugitive strategy, an increased tube durability allows serpulids a competitive advantage over other encrusters. © 2024 PeerJ Inc.. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {The main aim of protected areas is biodiversity conservation, yet those areas are getting increasingly popular among tourists. Previous research indicates that creating protected areas strengthens management initiatives, which in turn causes park-people conflicts around the resources. This study focuses on community development issues within China's newly established Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. We aim to understand the relationship between residents’ individual development and their attitudes towards the park's construction. Through a qualitative multi-method approach utilising participant observation, field notes, 16 interviews, and three Ketso workshops with ten residents living and working within the park’s borders. The findings revealed three themes: tourism development, social welfare, and heritage policies, all highlighting economic tensions between the national park and the community. This study examines factors influencing park-people conflicts and offers policy recommendations for national parks. Subsequent research could utilise quantitative methods for additional empirical support. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

abstract = {Wetlands represent a small proportion of all habitats. Still, they are very important features within the landscape, particularly in the ecosystem mosaic. They are composed of many specifically adapted organisms. Wetlands spontaneously establish and provide a significant source of heterogeneity and diversity in an urban-industrial landscape. Most of Earth’s wetlands are at risk or have disappeared due to human activity. Apart from natural wetlands, unique anthropogenic wetlands are observed in southern Poland. The aim of study was to assess and analyze the water quality and the spontaneous wetland vegetation which has developed on anthropogenic wetland habitats. The study was conducted on the spontaneous wetland vegetation developed in habitats that emerged due to mineral excavation activities of quarries in the Silesia Upland and Krakow-Częstochowa Upland. The research subjects were wetlands that provide special water chemistry conditions for developing the peat bog vegetation. Water sampling and analyses, vegetation recording, and vegetation numerical analyses were conducted on studied wetlands. The results of a study conducted on flooded post-excavation sites revealed that diverse wetland spontaneous vegetation colonized such habitats. This research showed that anthropogenic wetlands can provide habitats for the development of outstanding biodiversity and form a refuge for calcareous plant species and the subsequently assembled rare peat bog vegetation. The high moisture and the increased presence of magnesium and calcium ions are developing in some sites of the post-mineral excavations. Such habitat conditions in anthropogenic wetlands enhance the occurrence of rare calciphilous species. Maintaining the relevant water conditions is crucial for the protection of these sites. The study presented that, quite frequently, the human-induced transformation results in establishing habitats that provide conditions for refuge organisms, mostly plants crucial for conservation perspective, particularly in the urban-industrial landscape. The additional importance of this study is related to the fact that the area of wetlands decreased. Therefore such anthropogenic wetlands should be integrated into urban planning and industrial site management to enhance biodiversity conservation. © (2024), (Polskie Towarzystwo Inzynierii Ekologicznej (PTIE)).

The present report documents bedding surface structures from the Cisuralian (Asselian) Sandstone Building Member (BSM) of the Słupiec Formation, a unit that outcrops in the south-western Poland, in the Sudetes Mountains. The BSM represents likely continental (fluvial) sedimentary settings. The sedimentary structures on bedding surfaces in the BSM are interpreted as the MISS. The observations of the bedding structures are supplemented with thin section data that support the microbial interpretation of the bedding surface structures. The Słupiec Formation MISS record supplements the global patchy fossil record of the post-Cambrian (Paleozoic) MISS from the non-marine settings.

abstract = {Bracket fungi are usually considered as a cause of economic losses, while they also offer specific microhabitats and have an impact on biodiversity. However, to date this topic has not been sufficiently studied. The aim of this article is to show how the diversity of invertebrate communities, viz. spiders, harvestmen (Araneae; Opiliones), pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpionida), two groups of mites (Mesostigmata and Oribatida), springtails (Collembola), and insects (Insecta), inhabiting fruiting bodies of the tinder fungus, Fomes fomentarius, depend on specific characteristics of forests. Samples were collected in three locations: the Białowieża National Park (BNP) characterised by a high degree of forest naturalness, the Bieszczady National Park (BdNP), which was transformed by human, but has been undergoing naturalisation for several decades, and the Karkonosze National Park affected by a large-scale forest dieback in the 1980s and which for years has been under strong tourist pressure. A total of 20 fruiting bodies of F. fomentarius were collected at each location. In total, 9,821 individuals of invertebrates belonging to 204 species were extracted. The most numerous group was Oribatida (6;595 individuals classified to 106 species), while the most numerous species was Carabodes femoralis (5;216 individuals). The study sites differed in the number of species (the highest one was observed in the BdNP; 115; and the lowest one in the KNP; 88) and number of individuals (the highest one was observed in BdNP; 4;285; and the lowest one in BNP; 1;595), as well as the number of individuals per species (the highest one was observed in the BdNP; 37.26 individuals per 1 species; and the lowest in the BNP; 15.79 individuals per 1 species). A NMDS analysis revealed that the inner distribution of the samples in each of the locations was similar in the case of mountain national parks (BdNP and KNP), while the invertebrate groupings from the BNP and KNP differed the most between one another. The multilevel pattern analysis showed different, specific invertebrate species for each study sites, e.g. Carabodes subarcticus for the BNP, Friesea mirabilis for the BdNP, Oribatella calcarata for the KNP and Dendrolaelaps pini for both mountain national parks. This study shows the uniqueness of invertebrate communities inhabiting fruiting bodies of F. fomentarius and confirms the positive role of this pathogenic fungus in shaping biodiversity. © 2024, Institute of Forestry LAMMC.

This is particularly true of post-industrial and post-mining regions, whose economic past adds an additional dimension affecting development and spatial policy. However, the article highlights the case of a settlement (Szopienice - a district of the city of Katowice in southern Poland) with a heterogeneous genesis in relation to the (post-)mining region in which it is located. Taking into account its economic development founded on zinc and lead metallurgy, the difficulties of development projection are pointed out. These difficulties are emphasised by a focus on the importance of paying attention to this type of locality from several research perspectives. In addition to the aforementioned heterogeneity, the role of "in-between" town locations and spatial peripheralisation is highlighted. © 2023 Nicolaus Copernicus University. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {This paper describes the foundations of the periglacial concept beginning from the introduction of this term by Łoziński in 1909 and 1912. Its etymology along with the meaning and definitions that change over time are analysed in the present paper. Originally derived from geology, periglacial now functions as a geomorphological term. It has been compared with other terms used in the characterisation of cold geographical environments; the role of freezing and ice has been especially emphasised for periglaciology, and the most important types of ice have been highlighted. The present paper aims to show that with the increasing specialisation of research and the evolution of the meaning of the term periglacial, it is still seen as playing an important integrating role. The relation of the periglacial environment and ice to the glacial environment is also presented, showing the places of mutual overlapping of both environments. Old and newly introduced terms related to this concept such as periglacial facies, periglacial landscape, paraglacial, and cryo-conditioning are critically assessed. Finally, a short description of the permafrost in Poland, occurring in two remote and specific places, is presented: the active mountain permafrost covering the alpine belt of the Tatra Mountains about 1900 m a.s.l. and the relict permafrost in the Suwałki area, located in the northern lowland of Poland at a depth of 357 m and below. © 2024 Wojciech Dobiński, published by Sciendo.},

abstract = {Risk assessment for groundwater allows for preventive activities in the field of environmental monitoring. The risk assessment for groundwater in the area of the municipal waste landfill in Sosnowiec was carried out using the Nemerov Index (NPI) and the Enrichment Index (EF), as well as a SWOT (Strengths; Weaknesses; Opportunities; Threats) analysis and a risk matrix. It was performed on the basis of the database from 2014-2019 for ten piezometers belonging to the landfill's observation network. In the case of the risk matrix, 20 risks were identified regarding climatic conditions, landfill infrastructure and employees. The SWOT analysis considered the strengths and weaknesses of the facility as well as opportunities related to technological development and threats related primarily to the location of the facility within the landscape. The risk assessment indices were calculated for the following parameters: electrolytic conductivity, Na, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, TOC, HCO3, Cl, SO4, and NH4. The highest values of the NPI index exceeded 3,500 (in a single measurement), while for the EF index the values reached almost 500. These prove the impact of this facility on the quality of groundwater. However, hydrochemical background value and the value of the immobile parameter are also important. This article uses limit values for the first class of groundwater quality. The results of above mentioned methods indicate a medium risk to groundwater, and the opportunities and strengths of the facility outweigh the negative aspects of the plant's operation. Further research should include the identification of additional risk factors and the likely response to risk. © 2024 Sciendo. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {The surge in pharmaceutical consumption, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, has raised concerns about their presence in aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated the potential ecological impact of ibuprofen, focusing on the ultrastructure of storage cells in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus experimentalis, renowned for its resilience to environmental stressors. Individuals were exposed to three ibuprofen concentrations (0.1 μg/L; 16.8 μg/L; and 1 mg/L) over 7 and 28 days. Storage cells were examined using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and confocal microscopy. This study also explored ibuprofen’s impact on the process of anhydrobiosis. In the short-term experiment, no ultrastructural changes in tardigrade storage cells were observed across ibuprofen concentrations. However, in the long-term incubation, autophagic structures in storage cell cytoplasm were identified, indicating potential adaptive responses. Individual mitochondria exhibited degeneration, and the rough endoplasmic reticulum displayed slight swelling. No evidence of increased oxidative stress or nuclear DNA fragmentation was observed in any research group. This study elucidates the complex responses of tardigrade storage cells to ibuprofen exposure. The findings emphasize the importance of understanding pharmaceutical impacts on aquatic organisms, highlighting the resilience of tardigrades to specific environmental stressors. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {The tribe Tuberolachnini within the Lachninae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is particularly intriguing due to its morphological traits and various ecological associations. Among the genera within this group, Pyrolachnus stands out as relatively understudied. Currently, only one species, Pyrolachnus imbricatus nipponicus Sorin, 2011, is known from Japan, distinguished by its distinctive characteristics. Through meticulous morphological analyses, we introduce a novel Lachninae genus, Miyalachnus gen. nov., associated with Cerasus and Prunus spp. (Rosaceae) in Japan. This new genus accommodates P. imbricatus nipponicus, now recognized as Miyalachnus nipponicus (Sorin; 2011) comb. nov. Additionally, we present a second species within this genus, Miyalachnus sorini sp. nov., along with comprehensive SEM morphological examination and insights into its biology. Our study describes in detail the morphological characteristics of both viviparous and bisexual generations of Miyalachnus, as well as their relationships with related genera. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {Nippolachnus Matsumura, 1917 is a small aphid genus from the tribe Tuberolachnini (Hemiptera: Lachninae) occurring in Southeast Asia. Species from this genus are quite characteristic and stand out among lachnids for their morphology and ecological associations. We have performed a revision and phylogenetic analyses to elucidate the relationships within Nippolachnus and other representatives of Tuberolachnini. Here, the taxonomy of the genus is revised based on morphological data to include seven species, three of them newly described: Nippolachnus chakrabartii sp. nov. from India, Nippolachnus sinensis sp. nov. from China, and Nippolachnus malayaensis sp. nov. from Indonesia. Nippolachnus appear to be non monophyletic genus and a new genus, Indolachnus gen. nov., is described to accommodate Nippolachnus himalayensis (van der Goot; 1917) as Indolachnus himalayensis (van der Goot; 1917) comb. nov. The new genus is a sister group to the remaining Nippolachnus species, which created a monophyletic clade. Neonippolachnus Shinji, 1924 syn. nov. is recognised as a synonym of Nippolachnus, and Neonippolachnus betulae Shinji, 1924 syn. nov. as a synonym of Nippolachnus micromeli Shinji, 1924. For the first time, a scanning electron microscopy study of the sexual generation of N. piri Matsumura, 1917 has been performed. Apterous and alate viviparous females of N. bengalensis Basu and Hille Ris Lambers, 1968, N. piri, and N. micromeli, and alate viviparous females of N. xitianmushanus Zhang and Zhong, 1982 are re-described and illustrated, as well as apterous and alate viviparous females of I. himalayensis comb. nov. Hitherto unknown morphs of N. micromeli, N. piri, and N. xitianmushanus are described. A lectotype and paralectotypes of N. xitianmushanus are designated herein. Notes on distribution and host plants are given, and keys to apterous and alate viviparous females of the genera Nippolachnus and Indolachnus are also provided. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells are one of the most promising energy conversion technologies for both automotive and stationary applications. Scientists are testing a number of solutions to increase the durability of cells, especially catalysts, which are the most expensive component. These solutions include, among others, the modification of the composition and morphology of supported nanoparticles, the platinum–support interface, and the support itself. A detailed understanding of the mechanism of platinum degradation and the subsequent improvement of the durability of the entire cell requires the development of methods for effectively monitoring the behavior of catalytic nanoparticles under various cell operating conditions. The Identical-Location Transmission Electron Microscopy (IL-TEM) method makes it possible to visually track structural and morphological changes in the catalyst directly. Because the tests are performed with a liquid electrolyte imitating a membrane, they provide better control of the degradation conditions and, consequently, facilitate the understanding of nanoparticle degradation processes in various operating conditions. This review is primarily intended to disseminate knowledge about this technique to scientists using electron microscopy in the study of energy materials and to draw attention to issues related to the characterization of the structure of carbon supports. © 2024 by the authors.},

abstract = {Changes in land cover (LC) are continuously growing due to natural and human factors, and they are even occurring within protected areas. In Europe, one such place is the Tatra region (southern Poland), which is the area of the presented research. Dynamic landscape transformation in a valuable natural area can negatively affect both environmental quality and sustainable land use planning. Appropriate recommendations and treatments can be introduced to prevent negative effects. To do this, it is necessary to understand the dynamics and character of these transformations. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyse changes in LC, its causes and their spatiotemporal dynamics, as well as the resulting landscape fragmentation. For this purpose, a set of landscape metrics and GIS (Geographic Information System) tools were used. The main data source in the study was the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) database. The results indicate a significant landscape transformation with a negative impact on the region's environment, even in protected areas. Landscape fragmentation, which causes disturbances in ecosystems, increased across the entire study area. In turn, in the spatial development, it can introduce chaos and spatial disorder, and lead to the phenomenon of urban sprawl. © 2024 Piotr Pyryt et al., published by Sciendo.},

abstract = {Wild pollinators are crucial for ecosystem functioning and human food production and often rely on floral resources provided by different (semi-) natural ecosystems for survival. Yet, the role of European forests, and especially the European forest herb layer, as a potential provider of floral resources for pollinators has scarcely been quantified. In this study, we measured the potential nectar production (PNP) of the forest herb layer using resurvey data across 3326 plots in temperate forests in Europe, with an average time interval of 41 years between both surveys in order to assess (i) the importance of the forest herb layer in providing nectar for wild pollinators, (ii) the intra-annual variation of PNP, (iii) the overall change in PNP between survey periods and (iv) the change in intra-annual variation of PNP between survey periods. The PNP estimates nectar availability based on the relative cover of different plant species in the forest herb layer. Although PNP overestimates actual nectar production, relative differences amongst plots provide a valid and informative way to analyse differences across time and space. Our results show that the forest herb layer has a large potential for providing nectar for wild pollinator communities, which is greatest in spring, with an average PNP of almost 16 g sugar/m2/year. However, this potential has drastically declined (mean plot-level decline >24%). Change in light availability, associated with shifts in canopy structure and canopy composition, is the key driver of temporal PNP changes. Synthesis. Our study shows that if management activities are carefully planned to sustain nectar-producing plant species for wild pollinators, European forest herb layers and European forests as a whole can play key roles in sustaining wild pollinator populations. © 2024 The Authors.
