A tunnel shading shed is crucial in improving driving safety as a type of traffic facility to ease the transition of light environments. To study the effect of installation of a shading shed on the visual characteristics of drivers in the connecting zone of the adjacent tunnels, a total of 32 drivers were gathered to perform a real vehicle experiment. The study zone of the adjacent tunnels was divided into three sections: upstream tunnel exit; connecting zone; and downstream tunnel threshold zone. Fixation duration, saccade duration and saccade frequency were selected as research indexes. The results suggest that installation of a shading shed in the connecting zone significantly reduced the fixation (saccade) duration in the upstream tunnel exit and downstream tunnel threshold zones, with a significantly higher saccade frequency. In addition, fixation is better improved at the downstream tunnel entrance, and saccade is better enhanced at the upstream tunnel exit.

The interthalamic adhesion, or massa intermedia, is a midline bridge of neural tissue connecting the thalami across the third ventricle and usually containing the nucleus reuniens. It is important radiologically and neurosurgically: accessing the third ventricle or structures through the third ventricle, endoscopic surgery at third ventricle. We aim to consolidate current knowledge on the interthalamic adhesion, focusing on its morphology, nomenclature, development, histology, connections and anatomical variations to clarify longstanding inconsistencies.

Objective: This study aims to determine whether the anatomically heterogeneous lesions that cause hyperkinetic seizures (HKS) are connected to a common functional network.
Methods: We identified patients from the Beijing Tiantan-Fengtai Epilepsy Center with HKs as the primary ictal semiology. These included patients had focal seizure-onset zone, here referred to as a "lesion.

Background: Tobacco use reduces quality of life and life expectancy in all patients. Nurse is the largest group of healthcare professionals, and nurse-led smoking cessation interventions are effective for smoking patients.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of various nurse-led interventions on smoking cessation among patients.

Subsurface habitats, found under various geological conditions, exhibit diverse microbial communities. The vadose zone, a previously unexplored subsurface compartment, connects the surface to phreatic groundwater. Drilling into the subsurface allows access to these habitats for microbial diversity study.

Reconsidering the relationship between humans and more-than-human beings amid global crises has brought reciprocity practices between people and biodiversity to the forefront. We examine social-ecological reciprocity practices within Indigenous territories and their direct connection to biocultural memory. Specifically, we explore the Mapuche practice of trafkintu in the Andean zone of Wallmapu, La Araucanía region of southern Chile.
