This paper highlights the urgent need to enhance water system resilience in response to climate-induced scarcity, using a dynamic multisectoral model to analyze the macroeconomic impacts of temporary water shortages, revealing how firms' investment foresight influences their responses and the economy, with sector-specific insights indicating both negative impacts, particularly in agriculture and energy, and potential competitive benefits in certain sectors, ultimately recommending that firms prioritize anticipation and resilience-building measures across all sectors.

This study presents a deep learning framework using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to efficiently replicate high-resolution outputs of conventional hydrological models for estimating groundwater head and surface water depth in the Sabgyo Stream Watershed, South Korea, achieving a 45-fold reduction in computation time compared to a physics-based model while demonstrating potential for predictive capabilities under future climate scenarios, although further improvements are needed for long-term accuracy.

The impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its related dementias is rapidly expanding, and its mitigation remains an urgent social and technical challenge. To date there are no effective treatments or interventions for AD, but recent studies suggest that alcohol consumption is correlated with the risk of developing dementia. In this review, we synthesize data from preclinical, clinical, and epidemiological models to evaluate the combined role of alcohol consumption and serotonergic dysfunction in AD, underscoring the need for further research on this topic.

The emergency department (ED) poses unique challenges and risks to persons living with dementia. A longer ED length of stay is associated with the risk of death, delirium, and medication errors. This article seeks to determine whether ED length of stay differed by dementia status and trends in ED length of stay for persons living with dementia and whether persons living with dementia were at a higher risk for prolonged ED length of stay.

This research has uncovered the conflicts between solar-energy development and the conservation of threatened bird species. A comprehensive analysis has revealed that a staggering 97.4% of regions with significant solar-energy potential overlap with the ranges of multiple endangered bird species. Even more alarming is the fact that over 17.0% of these areas are home to at least 10 threatened bird species. These findings highlight the urgent need to address the potential negative impacts of solar-energy projects on avian biodiversity.
