National taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages and its association with overweight, obesity, and diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Taxation is highly heterogeneous across countries in terms of products and design, which might influence its effectiveness. Our findings provide some evidence regarding a deceleration of the increasing prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among children occurring in some countries following introduction of taxation.

Do predator attacks on productive species and the respective economic losses influence the psychological distress of farmers in Uruguay? A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The losses of productive species and the financial costs negatively influenced the psychological distress of farmers. This information highlights the need to generate public policies about farmers wellbeing that help them in these situations.PMID:38570200 | DOI:10.22605/RRH7614 (Source: Rural and Remote Health)

Unveiling global land fine- and coarse-mode aerosol dynamics from 2005 to 2020 using enhanced satellite-based inversion data
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 21:123838. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123838. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccurate fine-mode and coarse-mode aerosol knowledge is crucial for understanding their impacts on the climate and Earth's ecosystems. However, current satellite-based Fine-Mode Aerosol Optical Depth (FAOD) and Coarse-Mode Aerosol Optical Depth (CAOD) methods have drawbacks including inaccuracies, low spatial coverage, and limited temporal duration. To overcome these issues, we developed new global-scale FAOD and CAOD from 2005 to 2020 using a novel deep learning model capable of the synergistic retrieval of two aerosol siz...

Datathons: fostering equitability in data reuse in ecology
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Mar 21:S0966-842X(24)00050-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.02.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApproaches to rapidly collecting global biodiversity data are increasingly important, but biodiversity blind spots persist. We organized a three-day Datathon event to improve the openness of local biodiversity data and facilitate data reuse by local researchers. The first Datathon, organized among microbial ecologists in Uruguay and Argentina assembled the largest microbiome dataset in the region to date and formed collaborative consortia for microbiome data synthesis.PMID:38519354 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2024.02....
