Bangladesh is on track to lose all of its forestland in the next 35-40 years, leading to a rise in CO2 emissions and subsequent climate change, researchers said. However, that is just one of the significant land-use changes that the country is experiencing. A new study uses satellite and census data to quantify and unravel how physical and economic factors drive land-use changes. Understanding this relationship can inform climate policy at the national scale in Bangladesh and beyond.

More than 50% of coronavirus patients who underwent surgery suffered from post-operative pulmonary complications, a new study suggests.Researchers say clinicians must carefully balance risk of complications linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection with risks of delaying surgery, and suggest the threshold for surgery should be raised compared to normal practice.In the study, published in The Lancet, post-operative pulmonary complications occurred in 51.2% of coronavirus patients who underwent surgery.These complications included conditions such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and/or unexpected postoperative ventilation.Among patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who underwent surgery, 23.8% died within 30 days.Of those with pulmonary complications, 38%, 219/577 died within 30 days of their surgery.SARS-CoV-2 is a specific virus that can cause Covid-19.The study also identified factors associated with worse outcomes.As well as being male or aged 70 or older, patients with comorbidities and those undergoing…

TULSA — Some state and local officials, including Gov. Kevin Stitt, got a chance to make their case for Tesla in Tulsa at a dinner in Florida this week with Elon Musk. Musk and the Tulsans were guests of National Aeronautics and Space Administration Administrator Jim Bridenstine for Wednesday’s planned launch of a SpaceX rocket carrying two NASA astronauts into space. The launch was postponed because of weather conditions, but the Tulsa delegation was able to make an in-person pitch to Musk for his new Tesla Cybertruck factory. Musk is the CEO and product architect of Tesla and founder of SpaceX. The Associated Press recently reported that Tulsa and Austin, Texas, were finalists for the new plant.

Skull found in dig for 16th century Irish lord who almost freed Ireland from the British
ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN Spain believe they may have found the remains of 16th century Irish chieftain Red Hugh O'Donnell. The team of archaeologists had entered the seventh day of the dig in the search for the nobleman when they made the discovery. Two coffins, a skull and a complete body were found at the excavation site in Constitution Street, Valladolid, where archaeologists had recently uncovered what they believe to be La Capilla de las Maravillas, the Chapel of Wonders, where Red was put to rest in 1602. Christopher Columbus was also buried at the site but his body later moved to Seville, leading some to believe the second coffin may originally have contained his body. Advertisement Carlos Burgos from the Hispono Irish Association with the remains discovered during the dig (DiadeVallodolid/Twitter) Red, who was known as Aodh Ruadh Ó Domnhnaill in Irish, was buried in the site after dying while waiting for the King of Spain to agree to send another Spanish Army to Ireland to help fight against the English.
