Abstract
Pressure on forest ecosystems tends to increase due to socioeconomic factors and demographic trends. A growing population demands that more products be extracted from forest ecosystems. Consumption and its interaction with the drivers of global change will affect the sustainability of the supply of a wider range of ecosystem services such as protection from forest fires, water, and biodiv…

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Underlying atherosclerosis and ensuing conditions such as myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease and stroke cause tremendous morbidity, mortality, and economic loss. Early identification of patients with high risk for such clinical events enables preventive actions. The use of machine learning (ML) for risk prediction …

Abstract
Restoration approaches to improve in-stream hydromorphology are increasing worldwide, but often fail to recover good ecological status as well as biodiversity. Evidence for the dominant effect of hydromorphology on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning suggests that the strong potential for hydromorphological restoration is not fully explored in stream rehabilitation measures. We argue t…

Abstract
The growth of the airline industry in recent years has stimulated the search for the production of aviation fuel from alternative energy sources. Within this scenario, the 4AirCRAFT project ("Air Carbon Recycling for Aviation Fuel Technology") was proposed, an international collaborative partnership between seven research institutions (5 from Europe, 1 from Japan and 1 from Brazil), with …

Abstract
Although microplastics are ubiquitous, only scarce information is available in the Brazilian marine area, mainly close to the continental shelf. Many plastic material and debris are disposed in shoreline dumps or aquatic areas and end in the sea. The presence of microplastics in the marine environment will be assessed in water and sediment samples collected in the continental shelf of Bra…

Abstract
New approaches are needed to reduce emission of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). Some sources contribute strongly to such emissions, which has driven the focus of PRESAGE on innovative decentralized wastewater treatment (WWT). An integrated analysis of the behaviour of organic micropollutants (OMPs), antibiotic resistant microorganisms and genes (ARMs/ARGs), pathogens and viruses …

Abstract
Although several machine learning (ML) models using electronic health record (EHR) data have been developed recently, there is a significant need for external validation of these models. Predictive models may perform well in a center with a population similar to the training data but may perform worse in centers with different patient characteristics. Multicenter studies should be conside…

Abstract
This project aims to develop decision support systems capable of optimizing large-scale ecological restoration projects in the Atlantic Forest areas of the state of São Paulo, by integrating spatial, statistical and qualitative databases in order to point out the gains in ecosystem services, the barriers faced in implementing restoration in different social and land realities and the poss…

Abstract
Science communication operates at the intersection of three fields of knowledge: the scientific domain, education, and media, each tailored to unique audiences and communication objectives. This field can encompass a diverse range of discursive genres, from news reports to theatrical performances. In the digital age, bridging the gap between scientific publications and social media platfo…
