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.

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 study explores how humanitarian health workers are adapting to the impacts of climate change in vulnerable contexts. 

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.
