Enhancing underwater acoustic orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based channel estimation: a robust convolution-recurrent neural network framework with dynamic signal decomposition - Mansoor Jan; Muhammad Aman; Syed Agha Hassnain Mohsan; Samih M. Mostafa; Faten Khalid Karim (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Introduction Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication systems confront significant challenges due to the unique, dynamic, and unpredictable nature of acoustic channels, which are impacted by low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), severe multipath propagation, latency, Doppler spread, and a shortage of real-world data. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is essential for establishing resilient and reliable data transmission in these challenging environments, but accurate channel estimation remains a critical barrier to unlocking its full potential—especially given the limitations of conventional estimation methods in adapting to UWA channel dynamics. Methods This work introduces a Convolution-Recurrent Neural Network (CRNet) estimator integrated with dynamic signal decomposition (DSD) techniques (e.g., Local Mean Decomposition, LMD; Empirical Mode Decomposition, EMD) to estimate UWA-OFDM channel characteristics and mitigate noise-induced distortions in received signals. The CRNet architecture combines convolutional layers (to capture spatial features) and recurrent layers (to model temporal dependencies), enabling it to learn complex UWA channel dynamics. The model is trained using paired data: received pilot symbols, transmitted pilots, and accurate channel impulse responses (CIR). Post-training, CRNet operates using only the received signal as input, eliminating the need for supplementary channel characteristics like SNR. To ensure real-world relevance, training and testing datasets are generated via the Bellhop ray-tracing model, which simulates diverse UWA environments (shallow coastal and continental shelf). Results Numerical findings demonstrate that the proposed CRNet model consistently outperforms benchmark methods—including least squares (LS), minimal mean square error (MMSE), and backpropagation neural network (BPNN)—across key metrics: bit error rate (BER), amplitude error, and phase error. CRNet exhibits superior performance with QPSK modulation compared to QAM, and maintains robustness even with a small number of pilot symbols. Performance evaluations on both training and unseen datasets confirm its resilience and flexibility in demanding UWA environments, validating its ability to generalize to dynamic channel conditions beyond training scenarios. Discussion The CRNet estimator addresses critical limitations of conventional UWA-OFDM channel estimation methods: its dual focus on spatial and temporal features (via convolutional-recurrent layers) overcomes the static linear constraints of LS/MMSE, while DSD-driven noise mitigation enhances input signal quality for more accurate estimation. By eliminating reliance on post-training supplementary channel data (e.g., SNR), CRNet simplifies real-world deployment. Its superior BER performance and adaptability to diverse UWA environments (shallow coastal, continental shelf) position it as a robust solution for improving the reliability and efficiency of UWA communication systems.

Modelling pandemic-induced spatially heterogeneous patterns in income shock, food insecurity and their driving factors: a case of Pakistan - Muhammad Sajjad; Syed Hassan Raza; Wajiha Haq; Syeda Fatima Rubab (Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2025)
While pandemic-related income shock (IS) compromises societal well-being by leading to food insecurity (FI) in developing countries, evaluating the spatial inequities of IS, FI, and their significant driving factors is imperative for informed and targeted interventions. In this context, we explore spatial disparities in IS and FI, model significant factors driving IS, and examine the potential association between FI and IS in Pakistan—a nation with ~ 255 million people and vulnerable to food crises—using Covid-19 as a case study. Through the integrated deployment of spatial, econometric, and statistical models, priority intervention areas for IS and FI are identified, enabling efficient resource allocation and informed decision-making. Furthermore, spatial relationships among IS, FI, and significant factors are visualized using bivariate mapping to provide a geographical perspective, supporting the formulation of evidence-based action plans to mitigate their impacts. Our results show that Balochistan, the least developed province of Pakistan, is likely to observe higher levels of IS (95% confidence) during pandemics. Asset ownership, illiteracy, and employment are among the significant factors that drive IS in Pakistan. The geographical evaluation reveals considerable spatial heterogeneity in IS, FI, and several associated factors across the study area. While the higher IS clusters are identified in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the hotspots of FI are evident in Sindh province (95% confidence). This study has practical implications for medium- to long-term policy responses to health emergencies, which are essential for building resilience against future pandemics.

This perspective article synthesises insights from a 2023 interdisciplinary workshop in Kuching, Malaysia, where 26 experts examined how land use and land cover change (LULCC) impacts Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCE) in Southeast Asia (SEA) and identified pathways for integrated, science-informed governance. BCE in SEA (mangroves, seagrasses and tidal wetlands) are globally significant carbon sinks, critical to biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions, dependant on them for food, income and coastal protection. Yet rapid development and socio-economically driven LULCC threaten BCE resilience and carbon storage capacity. Blue Carbon initiatives risk falling short if they overlook the socio-ecological interconnectivity of these systems. Advances in remote sensing, sediment carbon accounting and ecosystem modelling have improved BCE monitoring, but key gaps persist. These include understanding cumulative upstream effects of LULCC on BCE carbon dynamics, integrating socio-economic with ecological data for robust scenario modelling and evaluating governance effectiveness and equity over time. We frame BCE as dynamic, interconnected socio-ecological systems and call for the advancement of systems thinking in coastal and climate policy. We underscore the need for transdisciplinary, nested governance models operating across ecological scales and political boundaries and argue for a systems-based management approach that links land-sea processes, addresses upstream-downstream dynamics and balances carbon market incentives with local needs. Recommendations include improved monitoring and carbon accounting; alignment between science and policy; regionally coordinated governance; and diversifying finance to reflect the full value of BCE beyond carbon. Together, these actions chart a path for resilient, science-based, socially inclusive BCE conservation in SEA.

Unveiling the Microplastics Menace in Freshwater Fishes: Evidence from the Panjnad Barrage, South Punjab, Pakistan - Syed Muhammad Moeen Uddin Raheel; Adnan Ahmad Qazi; Muhammad Latif; Huma Naz; Yasir Waqas; Maximilian Lackner (Fishes, 2025)
This study explored the prevalence and types of microplastic (MP) pollution in three fish species—Labeo rohita, Wallago attu, and Cirrhinus mrigala—collected from the Panjnad Barrage in South Punjab, Pakistan. MPs were analyzed from the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs), gills, and muscles of 90 fish samples. Advanced analytical techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), were deployed, confirming the polymeric composition and presence of various additives. Quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed significant variations in MP accumulation across tissues, with the GIT consistently showing the highest MP count, the gills having the highest concentration per gram, and the muscles exhibiting the lowest amount of accumulation. Wallago attu was found to have accumulated the highest concentration of microparticles among all three species due to its feeding habits and habitat. Fibers and fragments were the predominant types of MPs, with yellow and red being the most frequent colors. Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) were the primary polymers identified, alongside other types like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The MP size distribution indicated that mid-sized particles (150–50 µm) were most abundant in the GIT and gills, while smaller particles (

Marine actinomycetes: a hidden treasure trove for antibacterial discovery - Chengqian Pan; Syed Shams ul Hassan; Muhammad Ishaq; Shikai Yan; Huizi Jin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Oceans boast a substantial microbial diversity, which is widely prevalent in seawater, marine sediments, and marine organisms. In contrast to terrestrial resources explored in traditional natural product research, the habitats of marine microorganisms are distinctly unique. Actinomycetes serve as a vital source of secondary metabolites, including antibiotics and other potent natural products like streptomycin and tetracycline. They have played a pivotal role in clinical treatments for significant diseases such as pathogenic bacterial infections. Nevertheless, the extensive use of antibiotics has led to a sharp increase in the variety and number of drug-resistant bacteria, notably multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria, in clinical settings, posing a grave threat to human survival. Consequently, there is an immediate need to discover structurally novel antibacterial natural products and develop new antibiotics. This mini review summarizes a total of 45 novel antibacterial natural products derived from marine actinomycetes, published in 2024. These products, including polyketides, alkaloids, macrolactams, and peptides, are highlighted in terms of their structures and biological activities. The objective of this article is to provide valuable insights for the research and development of novel antibiotics.

The drastic differences in survival conditions, such as high salinity, oligotrophic conditions, lack of light, and limited oxygen, determine that microorganisms exhibit distinctive characteristics in metabolism, survival modes, and adaptive mechanisms. These factors contribute to significant distinctions in secondary metabolic pathways and enzymatic reaction mechanisms between marine and terrestrial microorganisms. In this review, we summarized a total of 72 novel natural products with antibacterial activity, published in 2024, which are derived from marine-derived fungi. These products (polyketides, alkaloids, terpenoids, and peptides) are emphasized in terms of their structures and biological activities. This article aims to provide useful information for the research and development of novel antibiotics.
