A chronobiological approach to therapy for depression by M. Yu. Gerasimchuk

“…Sleep disorders were most pronounced in recurrent depression (4.1±1.1 scores) (Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale, MADRS, item 4). The inverted pattern of daily variations was more frequently observed in patients with a first depressive episode (p<0.05).According to MEQ scores, the investigators identified three groups of patients with morning (5%), intermediate (65%), and evening (30%) chronotypes. …”

Assessing the Effects of Climate Change and Land‐Use Changes on Extreme Discharge in the Western Watershed of Lake Urmia, Iran by Ghasem Farahmand, Behzad Hessari, Hossein Salehi

“…Furthermore, land‐use change assessments indicated that expanding orchards and irrigated and rain‐fed agricultural lands will significantly elevate future peak discharge, with differences exceeding 10 m3/s in sub‐basins like Nazlochay and Barandozchay, driven by reduced infiltration and increased runoff rates. Modeling with these tools confirmed that climate and land‐use changes synergistically alter flood dynamics, a pattern consistent with regional studies. …”

Adjusting for principal components can induce collider bias in genome-wide association studies. by Kelsey E Grinde, Brian L Browning, Alexander P Reiner, Timothy A Thornton, Sharon R Browning

“…In all three samples, we find the first PC is highly correlated with genome-wide ancestry whereas later PCs often capture local genomic features. The pattern of which, and how many, genetic variants are highly correlated with individual PCs differs from what has been observed in prior studies focused on European populations and leads to distinct downstream consequences: adjusting for such PCs yields biased effect size estimates and elevated rates of spurious associations due to the phenomenon of collider bias. …”

Spatio-temporal characteristics and analysis of influencing factors of inclusive green growth in China’s oil and gas resource industry by Xiangyu Sun, Yanqiu Wang

“…Key observations include: (1) IGGOG exhibited a general upward trajectory, albeit with periodic fluctuations. (2) IGGOG’s spatial distribution adopts a “periphery-center” pattern, with pronounced spatial disparities. (3) Significant positive spatial autocorrelation in IGGOG is predominantly evident in high-high (HH) and low-low (LL) clusters. (4) Factors such as industrial agglomeration, industrial structures upgrading, urbanization rates, digital economy, and openness positively correlate with IGGOG, whereas green burdens adversely affect it. …”
