Resistance indicators in sewage microbiota mirror clinical antibiotic use with temporal lag linked to host
Abstract Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) offers a promising window into community pathogens but extending it to antibiotic resistance (AR) is complicated by ecological and physical processes within sewer systems. The epidemiological meaning of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) abundances in sewage remains unclear because signals reflect both human-derived inputs and in-sewer microbial dynamics.
Deep learning and radiomics models in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with immunotherapy combined with stereotactic radiotherapy
Abstract Quantitative imaging is an emerging field that may allow prediction of oncological outcomes.

Contradictions of the Ecowelfare State: The State, the Human, and Nature
ABSTRACT This paper theorizes ecowelfare as the arena in which the capitalist state governs co-produced crises of climate change and inequality by adding a third regulatory imperative—ecoregulation—to accumulation and legitimation. Read through metabolic rift and world-ecology, ecoregulation is the ongoing (re)composition of human–nature relations via discursive, administrative, and material techniques—eco(de/re)commodification.

I want the YouTube algorithm to stop doing this one annoying thing
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Over the years, the YouTube suggestion algorithm has become pretty complex. I’ve noticed that it can extrapolate my tastes very well based on my watch history, continuously tempting me to consume more videos.

Direct observation of ion cyclotron damping of turbulence in Earth’s magnetosheath plasma - Nature Communications
Abstract Plasma turbulence plays a key role in space and astrophysical plasma systems, enabling the energy of magnetic fields and plasma flows to be transported to particle kinetic scales at which the turbulence dissipates and heats the plasma. Identifying the physical mechanisms responsible for the dissipation of the turbulent energy is a critical step in developing the predictive capability for the turbulent heating needed by global models.
