    Abstract Objective: This study provides a preliminary report on the effectiveness of Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) in a clinical case series of adults with anorexia nervosa, to supplement evidence of efficacy from controlled trials.
    Method: Body mass index (BMI), eating disorder symptoms, mood and anxiety were measured at the start and end of treatment for 42 adults who received SSCM in a community eating disorders service.
    Results: Significant improvements were observed on all outcome measures, with larger effect sizes for symptom change than BMI. Recovery rates appear similar to those in clinical trials.
    Discussion: The study offers preliminary support for the effectiveness of SSCM in routine settings and identifies several areas for further research.

    Abstract Many patients in the intensive care unit are malnourished or unable to eat. Feeding them correctly has the potential to reduce morbidity and even mortality but is a very complex procedure. The inflammatory response induced by surgery, trauma or sepsis will alter metabolism, change the ability to utilise nutrients and can lead to rapid loss of lean mass. Both overfeeding and underfeeding macronutrients can be harmful but generally it would seem optimal to give less during metabolic stress and immobility and increase in recovery. Physical intolerance of feeding such as diarrhoea or delayed gastric emptying is common in the intensive care unit. Diarrhoea can be treated with fibre or peptide feeds and anti-diarrhoeal drugs; however, the use of probiotics is controversial. Gastric dysfunction problems can often be overcome with prokinetic drugs or small bowel feeding tubes. New feeds with nutrients such as n-3 fatty acids that have the potential to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses show great promise in favourably improving metabolism and substrate utilisation. The importance of changing nutrient provision according to metabolic and physical tolerance cannot be understated and although expert groups have produced many guidelines on nutritional support of the critically ill, correct interpretation and implementation can be difficult without a dedicated nutrition health care professional such as a dietitian or a multidisciplinary nutritional support team.

    Abstract The assessment of outcomes for the Gold Coast Mental Health and Specialist Services Suicide Prevention Strategy implementation required data on suicidal and self-harm presentations to be captured from the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) database. Suicidal and self-harm presentations are not uniformly coded in the EDIS and require human assessment to differentiate these presentations from other cases (e.g., accidental injuries). A novel evolutionary algorithm was used to learn weighting variables from a psychiatrist-rated training dataset in order to generate an appropriate cut-off score for identifying suicidal and self-harm presentations from EDIS. The resulting Searching EDIS for Records of Suicidal Presentations (SERoSP) program was then run on a psychiatrist-rated validation dataset using the weights generated by the algorithm. SERoSP is optimised to be able to detect suicidal and self-harm presentations with a high degree of accuracy (a sensitivity of 0.95 and a specificity of 0.92). The SERoSP program is a reliable and cost-effective tool for the identification of suicidal and self-harm presentations from EDIS data, and is currently being successfully used in the suicide prevention strategy evaluation.

    Abstract CHIRPS-GEFS is an operational data set that provides daily bias-corrected forecasts for next 1-day to ~15-day precipitation totals and anomalies at a quasi-global 50-deg N to 50-deg S extent and 0.05-degree resolution. These are based on National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Ensemble Forecast System version 12 (GEFS v12) precipitation forecasts. CHIRPS-GEFS forecasts are compatible with Climate Hazards center InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) data, which is actively used for drought monitoring, early warning, and near real-time impact assessments. A rank-based quantile matching procedure is used to transform GEFS v12 "reforecast" and "real-time" forecast ensemble means to CHIRPS spatial-temporal characteristics. Matching distributions to CHIRPS makes forecasts better reflect local climatology at finer spatial resolution and reduces moderate-to-large forecast errors. As shown in this study, having a CHIRPS-compatible version of the latest generation of NCEP GEFS forecasts enables rapid assessment of current forecasts and local historical context. CHIRPS-GEFS effectively bridges the gap between observations and weather predictions, increasing the value of both by connecting monitoring resources (CHIRPS) with interoperable forecasts.

    Abstract Nature-based solutions (NbS)-solutions to societal challenges that involve working with nature-have recently gained popularity as an integrated approach that can address climate change and biodiversity loss, while supporting sustainable development. Although well-designed NbS can deliver multiple benefits for people and nature, much of the recent limelight has been on tree planting for carbon sequestration. There are serious concerns that this is distracting from the need to rapidly phase out use of fossil fuels and protect existing intact ecosystems. There are also concerns that the expansion of forestry framed as a climate change mitigation solution is coming at the cost of carbon rich and biodiverse native ecosystems and local resource rights. Here, we discuss the promise and pitfalls of the NbS framing and its current political traction, and we present recommendations on how to get the message right. We urge policymakers, practitioners and researchers to consider the synergies and trade-offs associated with NbS and to follow four guiding principles to enable NbS to provide sustainable benefits to society: (1) NbS are not a substitute for the rapid phase out of fossil fuels; (2) NbS involve a wide range of ecosystems on land and in the sea, not just forests; (3) NbS are implemented with the full engagement and consent of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in a way that respects their cultural and ecological rights; and (4) NbS should be explicitly designed to provide measurable benefits for biodiversity. Only by following these guidelines will we design robust and resilient NbS that address the urgent challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, sustaining nature and people together, now and into the future.
