Climate-based modelling and forecasting of dengue fever in three endemic departments of Peru by Mills, C, Donnelly, C

“…In terms of dengue incidence rate (DIR) risk factors, we inferred non-linear and delayed effects of greater monthly mean maximum temperatures, extreme precipitation, sustained drought conditions, and extremes of a Peruvian-specific indicator of the El Niño Southern Oscillation. Building on our model-based understanding of climatic influences, we performed climate-model-based forecasting of dengue incidence across 2018 to 2021 with a forecast horizon of one month. …”

Frame competition and climate change communication by Ong, Adeline Huilin, Neo, Eileen Hui Yan, Lim, Nigel Wen Bin, Loh, Clara Yi Jin

“…Relative to the control group, complementary anti-frames were found to significantly lower attitudes towards PEBs and GETs. Individuals in the competitive condition reported middle ground positions that were significantly higher than the complementary anti-frame condition and lower than the complementary pro-condition on attitudes towards GETs. …”

Investigation of cellular changes on blood cells relevant for the destabilization of blood flow by Stephanie.

“…The current study mimicked these changes by using different enzyme treatments (neuraminidase, alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, and pronase) and investigated them by measuring zeta potential (surface charge) and deformability of treated cells as well as conducting gel electrophoresis. The adhesion was analyzed on a parallel plate flow chamber system. …”
