Translational approach for dementia subtype classification using convolutional neural network based on EEG connectome dynamics by Thawirasm Jungrungrueang, Sawrawit Chairat, Kasidach Rasitanon, Praopim Limsakul, Krit Charupanit

“…We extracted distinctive statistical features, including mean, variance, skewness, and Shannon entropy, from brain connectivity measures, revealing common alterations in dementia, specifically a generalized disruption of Alpha-band connectivity. Distinctive characteristics were found, including generalized Delta-band hyperconnectivity with increased complexity in AD and disrupted phase-based connectivity in Theta, Beta, and Gamma bands for FD. …”

Abundance, Diversity and Phenology of Mosquito Larvae in a Highly Anthropized Wetland: Health and Management Implications of Gándaras de Budiño (NW Spain) by Yasmina Martínez‐Barciela, Alejandro Polina, Josefina Garrido

“…A total of 766 specimens belonging to 11 species of the genus Culex (57%), Culiseta (30%) and Anopheles (13%) were identified, though the isolated observation of adult specimens of Coquillettidia and Aedes lead to the determination of eight functional groups. Mosquito abundance and diversity were significantly higher in temporary water bodies and spring season (with a median of 1–2 species more). …”

Molecular tools for genome editing in plants: a synthetic overview by Nicolau Brito da Cunha, Michel Lopes Leite, Júlio Carlyle Macedo Rodrigues, Jéssica Carrijo, Fabrício Falconi Costa, Simoni Campos Dias, Elíbio Leopoldo Rech, Giovanni Rodrigues Vianna

“…However, the stochastic nature of the DNA delivery systems, with little control over where the genome modification occurred, required regulatory measures to ensure environmental, human, and animal safety, which has hindered the ability and speed to generate new and more adapted varieties. New technological advances have made it possible to increase the precision of genome modifications leading to a third generation of agricultural products. …”
