1/9 First, a look at hedge planting numbers. We used @NaturalEngland data for planting and gapping-up in public schemes (#CountrysideStewardship &co)
👉 5265 km of hedges have been planted in 2004-2022
👉 2.6 times as many hedges were planted in 2019-2022 compared to 2004-2018

@SVINJournal 2/Everyone knows the NASCET criteria: If the patient is symptomatic & the greatest stenosis from the plaque is >70% of the diameter of normal distal lumen, patient will likely benefit from carotid endarterectomy. But that doesn’t mean the remaining patients are just fine!
@SVINJournal 3/Yes, carotid plaques resulting in high grade stenosis are high risk.
But assuming that stenosis is the only mechanism by which a carotid plaque is high risk is like assuming that the only way to kill someone is by strangulation.

Good morning from Portland, OR, from the #SSP2023 @ScholarlyPub, where I will attend the plenary session "The Evolving Knowledge Ecosystem" about the economic pressures and the greatest challenges shaping the scholarly publishing industry.
This will be a panel discussion, with @rschon @IthakaSR, @amy_brand @mitpress, Gregg Gordon @SSRN, Julia Kostova @FrontiersIn, and @DrNandiQ @Clarivate

Roger Schonfeld @rschon will be moderating this panel, and opens the discussion with asking what the purpose of scholarly publishing is or should be.
@amy_brand : we not only deliver research contents but we are really integral to the academic ecosystem.

Stefan Burkart, sr. scientist of the #TropicalForages Program presents in the @IGC2023 Grassland Policies, Social Issues, and Ecosystem Services session the keynote 'Public policies for the development of a sustainable, forage-based cattle sector in Latam: A comparative analysis'
@IGC2023 LatAm is essential in the global cattle industry since it contributes > 25% of global🥩supply and 10% of 🥛supply. A sector that generates both internal and external benefits. However, the environmental effects of traditional or conventional production should be considered.
@IGC2023 Although the countries express a political will to promote sust. practices, the advances are dissimilar. Even though, the implemented policies should not be abandoned, but rather persist and be expressed in tangible effects. It is necessary to assume them as a long-term process.
1/20: Enhancing research visibility is crucial for making an impact. Here's the first tip: consistently use the same version of your name and affiliation throughout your academic career. This ensures better traceability and recognition. #ResearchVisibility #AcademicImpact
2/20: Catch your readers' attention by repeating key phrases in the abstract. It improves the discoverability of your research and enhances its visibility. Don't underestimate the power of a well-crafted abstract! #ResearchTips #AcademicWriting
3/20: Boost the visibility of your research by assigning relevant keywords to your manuscript. This helps search engines and databases categorize your work accurately. Choose keywords wisely for optimal discoverability. #ResearchVisibility #Keywords
Are hallucinations and delusions in Parkinson's disease due to medications or an intrinsic part of the disease?
This is what we tried to answer by going back in time to case notes prior to the use of dopaminergic therapies.

Firstly, what do you think? What causes the psychosis in PD?
The problem with answering this Q is that pretty much everyone in industrialised countries who has PD beyond the very early stages is now on medications.

Como periodista, y especialmente uno del medio cultural, es un requisito sine qua non de mi trabajo estar convenientemente informado y actualizado. Para lograrlo sigo a una serie de fuentes y utilizo determinadas herramientas que me facilitan bastante esta parte de Ă©l.
En el caso de los libros que están en #OpenAccess o que entran a ese dominio (a propósito de la pregunta de @sadlarsvon sobre cómo enterarse de ello), que resulta útil o interesante a quienes nos siguen, tengo establecido la siguiente rutina:
1. En primer lugar, tengo una carpeta direcciones (favoritos) con una decena o tal vez 12 repositorios de mi interés (en este caso, de ciencias sociales y humanidades) que reviso una vez a la semana para enterarme de las novedades que tengan. Esto es fundamental.

@jesherer "No one talks about publishing as #OpenAccess causing declined usage or impact for monographs; in fact it is often the opposite!" #ScalingSmall #OABooks
@jesherer We need to get better at measuring usage & impact for #OABooks - this is tricky for libraries in particular; we rely on institution-specific usage stats to demonstrate value for money; how do we measure our institutional usage of #OpenAccess content?
#ScalingSmall
#ScalingSmall
@jesherer We can get #OABooks usage stats based on IP-range; but this is just part of the picture - lots of usage is off-campus! If users don't go through authentication like EZproxy (because the content is open) how do we measure what institution they are affiliated to?

(1/7) New article in Policing: “Gunshot Detection Technology Time Savings & Spatial Precision. An Exploratory Analysis in Kansas City” w/@da_hatt Carter, Baughman & Mohler doi.org/10.1093/police… #OpenAccess postprint & research brief available at bit.ly/kc-gdt-precisi… @NU_SCCJ
@da_hatt @NU_SCCJ (2/7) The study analyzes the time savings and spatial precision offered by GDT as compared to calls for service. Time savings measures the number of seconds between the GDT alert and CFS. Spatial precision measures the distance between the GDT and CFS locations.
(3/7) GDT alerts occurred a median of 93 seconds before CFS. This represents approximately 12% of median police/EMS response and EMS travel time to nearest trauma center. In other words, GDT offers a 12% “head start” for the victim transport process

Spectral recovery=# of yrs reqd for pixel to attain 80% of its pre-disturbance NBR value (Years to Recovery, Y2R). NBR=Normalized Burn Ratio, which exploits differences in spectral response of vegetation & exposed soil in NIR and SWIR wavelengths. Enabled by #Landsat time series.
We used an #opendata synthesis of #boreal pre- & post-fire field measurements shared by Baltzer @forestecogrp et al. (2021). Incredibly useful data for examining drivers of spectral #forestrecovery post-fire.

When we wrote, we did so to make a “contribution of scholarship.” Early in the war, there were lots of quick, reactionary takes predicting the nuclear order’s collapse. We attempted to think through what history, political science, & policy literature teaches.

Our conclusion was that the global nuclear order, flawed as it may be, is much more durable than others were warning. Even with its innate inequities & Russia’s misbehavior, the order will continue to serve the interests of nuclear energy- & weapons-capable states.

Big @batsgoviral week! In @PNASNews and @ScienceAdvances we test how to prevent zoonotic #spillover by interrupting virus transmission in bat reservoirs. Short story: culls didn’t reduce spillover but altered rabies spatial spread; transmissible vaccines may be a solution. A 🧵.
First culling. Vampire bats are poisoned throughout Latin America to reduce blood feeding on humans and livestock and in hopes of preventing uniformly lethal rabies infections. Whether culls reduce rabies spillover is still controversial even after ~50 years of use.
We studied a 2 year bat cull in southern Peru where >21,000 bats were treated with a spreadable poison #vampiricide. This region suffered >1000 rabies outbreaks from 2003-2019 making a rare & statistically powerful case study to test whether bat culls reduce viral spillover.
