    Abstract Along with the rapid urbanization and economic growth in China over the last four decades, the higher education in Fire Safety Science and Engineering has been developed and changed significantly. This work systemically reviews the origin and evolution of fire safety higher education history in China, from Fire Protection Technology (before the 1980s) to Fire Safety Science and Engineering (from about 1985 to the 2010s) and to Human-Oriented Public Safety and Smart Firefighting (from the 2010s to today). The scopes of fire safety discipline are discussed by introducing the requirements of firefighters, registered professional fire protection engineers and safety engineers in China. The courses and curriculum in fire safety higher education in representative universities are introduced and compared in detail. By comparing their undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, we explain the context of fire safety education in different universities. From a historical viewpoint, we introduce the unique features and the diversity developed in different institutes, based on the evolution of programme documents and first-hand teaching materials. This review aims to introduce the higher education systems of fire safety in China to the world and encourage more international collaboration with the Chinese fire safety science and engineering communities in the future.

    Abstract The nutritional benefits and immunological advantages of consuming nuts and seeds are well-established. However, the link between nuts and seeds consumption and the susceptibility of being overweight or obese among adolescents is not clear. This study aims to explore this relationship in adolescents aged 12-19. Using a weighted multiple logistic regression model, we analysed data of the Food Patterns Equivalents Database and the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003 to 2018. We found a significant association between nuts and seeds consumption and a reduced odds of being overweight or obese in females. Specifically, females who habitually consumed nuts and seeds had lower odds of being overweight or obese (OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.32-0.94). Additionally, we found an L-shaped relationship between nuts and seeds consumption and appropriate waist-to-height ratio in males. The findings suggest that nuts and seeds consumption may contribute to healthier physical development in adolescents.

    Abstract Dripping of molten fuels is a widely observed fire phenomenon, and, by igniting other fuels, it can promote fire spread and increase fire hazards. In this work, dripping phenomena from fires of horizontally oriented wires, coated with polyethylene (PE), are investigated in the laboratory. It is found that as long as a flame is attached to the drip, thin tissue paper can be ignited by a single drip. Below a minimum diameter (D

    Abstract Automatic real-time fire characterization is a crucial requirement of future smart firefighting. This work proposes a novel computer vision method to automatically measure the fire heat release rate, even when the camera is moving in real-time. Firstly, a portable binocular stereo camera is used to capture the real-time fire video stream that is fed into a pre-trained computer-vision model frame-by-frame to detect the fire region. By identifying the fire location inside the image, the real-time distance between the camera and the fire source is determined. This fire distance helps re-scale the images to match the input scale of the AI-image Fire Calorimetry. Then, the deep learning model can automatically output the transient fire power in real time. Results show that the stereo vision system is capable of accurately measuring the distance between the camera and the fire source, flame height, and power, with a relative error of less than 20%. This work provides an automatic and flexible way to measure the distance, power and hazard of fire in real-time, and such a method has broad applications in firefighting operations and decision-making.

    Abstract Objective: Recently, a type 2 inflammation (T2) high endotype in bronchiectasis was identified. The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophil count (BEC) are recognized as representative biomarkers of T2 inflammation. Herein, we investigate the clinical characteristics of T2-high endotype in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients classified by FeNO and BEC.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 164 bronchiectasis patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from December 2017 to July 2022. Clinical characteristics were analyzed after classifying patients into four groups according to T2 inflammation biomarkers (FeNO ≥25 ppb; BEC ≥200/µL).
    Results: Among the 164 bronchiectasis patients, 35.3% (58/164) presented with high FeNO, 30.5% (50/164) presented with high BEC, and 10.4% (17/164) had high FeNO and BEC. Patients with high FeNO and low BEC presented with better lung function, fewer affected lobes, and lower dyspnea prevalence compared with the three other groups. Moreover, decreased FeNO, instead of decreased BEC, is revealed to be an independent predictor for disease severity and airflow obstruction in bronchiectasis.
    Conclusions: Simultaneous evaluation of FeNO and BEC proposed different endotypes of bronchiectasis established that patients with low BEC and high FeNO had better lung function, fewer affected lobes, lower dyspnea prevalence, and less disease severity. This result will contribute to a more comprehensive assessment of the disease severity and lead to more precise treatment of T2 inflammation in bronchiectasis patients.

    Abstract Wildfires can be divided into two types, flaming or smouldering, depending on the dominant combustion processes. Both types are present in most wildfires, and despite being fundamentally different in chemical and physical terms, one transitions to the other. Traditionally, science has focused on flames, while smouldering is often misinterpreted. But smouldering wildfires are emerging as a global concern because they cause extensive air pollution, emit very large amounts of carbon, are difficult to detect and suppress, and could accelerate climate change. Central to the topic are smouldering peat fires that lead to the largest fires on Earth. Smouldering also dominates the residual burning after flames have died out and firebrand ignition. Finally, smouldering is an important part of Arctic wildfires, which are increasing in frequency. Here, we present a scientific overview of smouldering wildfires, the associated environmental and health issues, including climate change, and the challenges in prevention and mitigation.
