In June 2023, the Laje River, located in the traditional territory of the Wari’ Indigenous people in Rondônia, Brazil, was declared a legal entity, an earth being, with rights, following the co‐ordinated action of an indigenous councillor and non‐indigenous activists.

Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

When cultures of the microorganism Tetrahymena pyriformis are transferred to environments with different temperature and resource levels, the phenotypic traits of the microorganisms—including cell size, metabolic rate, and movement speed—change.

An alternative method of concept learning [PDF]
We solve the problem of concept learning using a semi-tensor product method. All possible hypotheses are expressed under the framework of a semi-tensor product. An algorithm is raised to derive the version space. In some cases, the new approach improves the efficiency compared to the previous approach.

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system
Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...

Abstract Dual training is a subject of interest due to the current political initiatives in education to promote training programmes that bring the education system closer to both professional employment and the business fabric of a given region. Given the influence of educational and labour legislation on the scientific approach to dual education ...

Abstract Earth's ecological dynamics are largely rhythmic, tied to regular cycles such as seasons, lunar phases, days, or tides. Subdisciplines of ecology such as phenology have developed specific concepts and metrics adapted to describe and analyze cyclical dynamics, but they operate in a largely unidimensional framework.

ABSTRACT A geoarcheological study of two large, stratified Indigenous pit features discovered at two Jesuit mission sites in Québec (Canada) was carried out to offer a detailed documentation of their contents and better understand their use over time. One of the pits is a 17th c.

Abstract In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle deformation in stiffer bands and blocks.

An Alternative Method for Meta-Analysis [PDF]
In many fields of applications, test statistics are obtained by combining estimates from several experiments, studies or centres of a multi-centre trial. The commonly used test procedure to judge the evidence of a common overall effect can result in a considerable overestimation of the significance level, leading to a high rate of too liberal decisions.
