    Abstract Introduction Public health and well-being outcomes are intimately connected with the health of our planet. Climate change has numerous far-reaching effects. Managing and mitigating these risks to human health presents one of the next challenges to global healthcare. The current usage of planetary resources is unsustainable. Surgical procedures are particularly resource-intensive, often utilising vast amounts of single-use consumables, like water. In the last 100 years global usage of fresh water has increased six-fold and continues to rise by 1% year on year. It is well established that initial hand sterilization and maintenance of hand sterility during the surgical list are essential for preventing hospital-acquired infections and associated morbidity and mortality. This study aims to estimate the current daily water usage of two typical hand surgery lists from a District General Hospital in North Wales, to determine potential water savings by switching exclusively to an alcohol-based hand rub for subsequent scrubs, in line with current national guidelines. Methods Observational study estimation of water consumption from a temperature-controlled manual tap required using a 1 litre volumetric jug where the time taken to fill was recorded. Three separate observational samples were taken, and a mean was calculated. This mean determined the amount of water dispensed from the tap in a standard 3 min scrub and subsequent 1 min scrub. Two different theatre schedules were analysed: 1. A trauma list (five cases) and 2. A higher volume minor elective procedure schedule (16 cases), in this case a wide-awake local anaesthetic no tourniquet (WALANT) carpal tunnel release (CTR). Results Each case regardless of procedure had approximately three persons scrubbed. 20.57L of water is used for one person to scrub for 3 mins and an extra 6.8574L for each subsequent 1 min scrub. Therefore, current daily water consumption could reach 143.99L during the major hand trauma list and 411.4L during a high-volume carpal tunnel release list. Conclusion Simply following current guidelines by switching to alcohol-based hand rub just for subsequent scrubs could reduce water consumption by 57.2% for hand trauma lists and 70.2% for high-volume CTR lists.

    Abstract The increasing availability of registers or administrative archives has been a strong push towards moving from traditional censuses to combined censuses or even completely register based censuses. In this context, a statistical framework needs to be designed in order to delineate all the statistical issues of the new estimation process. To this aim, a population frame needs to be defined for both surveying and estimation phases. Sampling surveys should be designed for quality assessment and for improving the quality of the register based estimation process. Drawing on similar experiences, a formalisation of the population size estimation process fully based on administrative data is presented. An application to Italian estimation process is reported.

    Abstract Recently, immersive media devices have seen a boost in popularity. However, many problems still remain. Depth perception is a crucial part of how humans behave and interact with their environment. Convergence and accommodation are two physiological mechanisms that provide important depth cues. However, when humans are immersed in virtual environments, they experience a mismatch between these cues. This mismatch causes users to feel discomfort while also hindering their ability to fully perceive object distances. To address the conflict, we have developed a technique that encompasses inverse blurring into immersive media devices. For the inverse blurring, we utilize the classical Wiener deconvolution approach by proposing a novel technique that is applied without the need for an eye-tracker and implemented in a commercial immersive media device. The technique's ability to compensate for the vergence-accommodation conflict was verified through two user studies aimed at reaching and spatial awareness, respectively. The two studies yielded a statistically significant 36% and 48% error reduction in user performance to estimate distances, respectively. Overall, the work done demonstrates how visual stimuli can be modified to allow users to achieve a more natural perception and interaction with the virtual environment.

    Abstract Objectives: To describe the clinical outcome of dogs diagnosed with concurrent discospondylitis/vertebral physitis and congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunts.
    Materials and methods: Medical records from two academic institutions were searched for dogs diagnosed with discospondylitis and/or vertebral physitis, and a concurrent intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Dogs were excluded if they did not undergo attenuation of their shunt, did not have a single congenital intrahepatic shunt and did not have at least 90 days of follow-up.
    Results: Six dogs fittedmet the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Discospondylitis alone was diagnosed in four dogs, vertebral physitis alone in one dog and both discospondylitis and vertebral physitis in one dog. Three dogs had a right divisional intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and three dogs had a left divisional intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Median duration of antimicrobial therapy was 112 days (range 14 to 240 days). Clinical resolution of discospondylitis and vertebral physitis was noted in all dogs. Endovascular attenuation was performed in all dogs a median of 82 days after presentation (range 1 to 317 days). No perioperative or postoperative complications occurred. All dogs were alive at the last available follow-up a median of 513 days after presentation (range 224 to 1504 days) and free of clinical signs associated with discospondylitis or vertebral physitis, as well as their portosystemic shunt.
    Clinical significance: Dogs with intrahepatic portosystemic shunts may concurrently develop discospondylitis and vertebral physitis. With antimicrobial therapy and endovascular embolisation of their portosystemic shunt, all dogs in this study had a good outcome with clinical resolution of both disease processes. However, long-term follow-up was not obtained in all cases.

    Abstract The widespread use of copper-based pesticides, while effective in controlling plant diseases, has been identified as a major source of copper contamination in soils. This raises concerns about potential adverse effects on earthworms, key players in soil health and ecosystem function. To inform sustainable pesticide practices, this study aimed to establish copper toxicity thresholds for earthworm avoidance in agricultural soils impacted by copper-based pesticides. We collected 40 topsoil samples (0-5 cm) from orchards and vineyards in the O'Higgins Region of central Chile, and 10 additional soils under native vegetation as background references. A standardized avoidance bioassay using Eisenia fetida assessed the impact of copper-based pesticides on the soils. Total copper concentrations ranged between 23 and 566 mg kg
