Volcanic landscapes undergo rapid morphological change, with landslides representing a key process controlled by volcano-tectonic structures, topography, and climate. In remote regions, limited accessibility hampers systematic investigation of these processes. On Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea), landslides occur in distinct spatial clusters despite widespread steep terrain, pointing to additional controls and offering an oppo...

Purpose This study analyzed the inter-session reliability of the parallel back squat during one-repetition-maximum (1RM) testing in elite youth soccer players and to exploratorily evaluate the consistency with which the prescribed squat depth is achieved. Methods The sample comprised 47 male soccer players (age: 18.1 ± 2.3 years, body mass: 72.4 ± 7.7 kg, height: 1.83 ± 0.06 m) from German youth soccer academy teams competing...

Summary The natural habitats and potential reservoirs of the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii are poorly defined. Here, we put forth and tested the hypothesis of avian reservoirs of A . baumannii . We screened tracheal and rectal swab samples from livestock (chicken, geese) and wild birds (white stork nestlings) and isolated A . baumannii from 3% of sampled chicken ( n = 220), 8% of geese ( n = 40) and 25% of white...
