Background: Breath‐holding spells (BHS) are common in infancy and early childhood and may appear like seizures. Factors such as autonomic dysfunction and iron deficiency anemia are thought to contribute to the incidence of BHS. In this study, electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters of patients with BHS were compared to those of healthy, normal children. Logistic regression and machine‐learning (ML) models were then created to predict these spells based on ECG characteristics. Methods: In this case–control study, 52 BHS children have included as the case and 150 healthy children as the control group. ECG was taken from all children along with clinical examinations. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to predict BHS occurrence based on ECG parameters. ML model was trained and validated using the Gradient‐Boosting algorithm, in the R programming language. Results: In BHS and control groups, the average age was 11.90 ± 6.63 and 11.33 ± 6.17 months, respectively (p =.58). Mean heart rate, PR interval, and QRS interval on ECGs did not differ significantly between the two groups. BHS patients had significantly higher QTc, QTd, TpTe, and TpTe/QT (all p‐values <.001). Evaluation of the ML model for prediction of BHS, fitting on the testing data showed AUC, specificity, and sensitivity of 0.94, 0.90, and 0.94 respectively. Conclusion: There are repolarization changes in patients with BHS, as the QTc, QTd, TpTe, and TpTe/QT ratio were significantly higher in these patients, which might be noticeable for future arrhythmia occurrence. In this regard, we developed a successful ML model to predict the possibility of BHS in suspected subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to a rising population and urbanization, the green areas have been decreasing in cities, with a negative impact on air pollution, human health, and ecosystem. As part of the urban environment, university campuses contribute to urban ecosystem with their vegetation. This study aims to (1) assess the change of vegetative land cover of the Çankırı Karatekin University in Turkey and (2) evaluate its benefits to the ecosystem in terms of carbon sequestration, storage, and improvement of air quality by means of a simulation. In the study, the density and vegetation change were assessed with NDVI and LST analyses in ArcGIS; carbon emissions and air pollution benefits were estimated in i-Tree Canopy tool. The study showed that the healthy vegetation consisting of trees/shrubs and grass/herbaceous, which was 32.2% (28 ha) in 2000, increased to 85% (74 ha) in 2020 NDVI maps, and the surface temperature also increased between 2000 and 2020 in LST maps.The rise in vegetation as grass/herbaceous areas instead of trees/shrubs and the use of impervious buildings/roads on the land surface increased the land surface temperature. As a result of the analyses in the i-Tree-Canopy tool, it was estimated that the trees/shrubs and grass/herbaceous vegetation canopy covering 31.42% of the study area removed a total of 512,845.65 g of pollutant gas and particles from the air, 20.79 tonnes of carbon sequestered annually, and 522.01 tonnes of carbon stored by vegetative land cover. In the simulation, where 32.62% soil/bare ground areas were converted to trees/shrubs in order to improve vegetation cover in the area, it was determined that it contributed 5 times more to the ecosystem service value for removing pollutants from the air, carbon storage, and improving the ecosystem. It was revealed that the vegetative land cover formed by tree/shrub species should be increased in the campus in the future. The study method model serves as a tool for planning and designing eco-friendly urban environment., (© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.)

This study was conducted in May 2017 to investigate vegetation and soil properties of a floodplain rangeland, which is located in the continental climate zone of Turkey. In the study, vegetation surveys were performed in the rangeland areas with two different slope degrees (0-1% and 2-5%), and the Modified Wheel Point method with loop was used in vegetation measurements. A total of 23 different species belonging to 20 genera from 9 families, were identified in the rangeland where vegetation surveys were conducted. It was determined that 2 of the identified species were decreaser, 2 of them were increaser, and 19 of them were invasive species. The plant cover ratio of the studied rangeland area where the study was conducted covered with the plant was 76.87%. In general, the ratio of the Poaceae in the botanical composition of the examined rangeland was 35.32%, the ratio of legumes was 28.60%, and the ratio of other families was 36.08%. The examined rangeland soils had medium structure, mild alkaline character, and no salinity problem. It was determined that organic matter, available phosphorus and potassium content of the rangeland's moderately calcareous soils were higher in the base areas than in the slightly inclined areas.
