Epidemiologic confirmation that fruit consumption influences mercury exposure in riparian communities in the Brazilian Amazon.
Carlos José Sousa Passos,Donna Mergler,Myriam Fillion,Mélanie Lemire,Frédéric Mertens,Frédéric Mertens,Jean Remy Davée Guimarães,Aline Philibert +7 more
TL;DR: Fruit consumption may provide a protective effect for Hg exposure in Amazonian riparians and prevention strategies that seek to maintain fish consumption while reducing Hg Exposure in fish-eating communities should be pursued.

No evidence of selenosis from a selenium-rich diet in the Brazilian Amazon.
Mélanie Lemire,Mélanie Lemire,Aline Philibert,Myriam Fillion,Carlos José Sousa Passos,Jean Remy Davée Guimarães,Fernando Barbosa,Donna Mergler +7 more
TL;DR: The findings support the need to re-assess Se toxicity considering factors such as the chemical form of Se exposure, route of exposure (inhaled versus ingested), co-exposures to toxic elements such as mercury and the current food transition towards a western diet in the Amazon.

Phosphorus limitation of bacterial growth in high Arctic lakes and ponds
TL;DR: Water from lakes and tundra ponds on Banks, Melville, Ellef-Ringnes, Ellesmere and Devon Island in the Canadian high Arctic was studied in batch culture experiments to test whether nitrogen, phosphorus or organic carbon limited bacterial growth and biomass accumulation as mentioned in this paper.

Developing a tool to measure satisfaction among health professionals in sub-Saharan Africa
Adama Faye,Adama Faye,Pierre-Etienne Fournier,Idrissa Diop,Aline Philibert,Florence Morestin,Alexandre Dumont +6 more
TL;DR: Job satisfaction is a complex construct; this study provides a multidimensional instrument whose content, construct and criterion validities were verified to ensure its suitability for the sub-Saharan African context.
A comparison between diatom-based pH inference models using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Weighted Averaging (WA) and Weighted Averaging Partial Least Squares (WA-PLS) regressions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the possibility of using artificial neural networks (ANN) to develop quantitative inference models in paleolimnology, and developed ANN models to infer pH from fossil diatom assemblages using a calibration data set of 76 lakes in Quebec.
