One Health in Europe: from concept to practice

Abstract The One Health concept is a comprehensive approach that highlights the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Understanding these interrelationships is essential for effectively managing and mitigating emerging health threats. This approach emphasizes that health issues arise from a complex web of interactions involving humans, animals, and ecosystems. Emerging health threats, such as zoonotic diseases (e.g., mpox, Ebola, avian influenza), antibiotic resistance, and environmental degradation, pose significant risks to global health. Zoonotic diseases, which are transmitted between animals and humans, highlight the direct links between animal and human health. The increase in antibiotic resistance, driven by overuse in both human medicine and livestock farming, leads to the rise of resistant pathogens. Environmental issues like climate change, deforestation, and pollution further exacerbate these threats by altering habitats, disrupting ecosystems, and affecting disease vectors. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires a unified approach that integrates human, animal, and environmental considerations. For example, climate change can shift the distribution of disease vectors like mosquitoes, leading to the spread of diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. Likewise, deforestation can heighten the risk of zoonotic spillover by bringing humans into closer contact with wildlife. 1. To tackle these complex challenges, several measures are crucial: • Integrated surveillance systems Developing systems that monitor human, animal, and environmental health data collectively can improve early detection of outbreaks. Sharing information across sectors is a prerequisite for effective identification of emerging threats. • Strengthening veterinary and public health collaboration Joint research, surveillance, and outbreak management efforts can lead to a more coordinated approach to health emergencies. • Promoting One Health education and training Educating professionals in various fields fosters a collaborative approach to health issues. Training programmes can build a shared understanding of health interconnections. • Implementing sustainable environmental practices Adopting sustainable practices to address environmental degradation helps reduce risks associated with habitat destruction and pollution. • International collaboration and agreements facilitate resource sharing, information exchange, and best practices. 2. To enhance public health strategies within the One Health framework: • Enhance interdisciplinary research Promote research on the intersections of human, animal, and environmental health to understand how changes in one area affect others and to develop more effective interventions. • Foster community engagement Engage communities to improve the adoption of preventive measures and build resilience against health threats through public awareness and community-based programs. Leverage technology and innovation Innovations can offer valuable insights such as data analytics, remote sensing, and genomic surveillance. In our upcoming plenary session, experts from veterinary and public health sciences will present practical examples on One Health collaboration in Europe and discuss how to address challenges in implementing the approach.

Mapping, geography

AbstractThis Themed Intervention consists of short papers written by nine plenary speakers at the 2024 Annual Conference of the Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers plus a paper by the Society's Cartographic Collections Manager. In this introduction, I explain why I chose mapping as the conference Chair's theme. I give a sense of how the relationship between geography and mapping has been addressed through previous conference addresses and themes. I then explore three types of cartographic genealogies. The first shows how histories of cartography traditionally took the form of family trees. The second explores disjunctures between previous phases of cartography and brings us to current definitions of mapping. The third genealogy is that of previously subjugated forms of mapping knowledge and practice which are now defining features of the field (critical quantitative; empire, race, and Indigenous; counter‐; representational and more‐than‐representational).

Intelligent Agents for Data Exploration

Data Exploration is an incremental process that helps users express what they want through a conversation with the data. Reinforcement Learning (RL) is one of the most notable approaches to automate data exploration and several solutions have been proposed. We first summarize some RL solutions that were built for different applications. In this context, various data exploration operators are leveraged including traditional roll-up and drill-down operations and text-based operations. An RL agent is trained to generate the best policy according to a hand-crafted reward function. The benefit of training RL policies for specific data exploration tasks has been demonstrated more than once for exploring finding a needle in a haystack, for serendipitous galaxy exploration, for helping a customer land on a satisfactory product, for helping a conference chair build a program committee in a stepwise fashion, for summarizing large datasets, etc. With the advent of Large Language Models and their ability to reason sequentially, it has become legitimate to ask the question: would LLMs and AI planning outperform an RL policy in data exploration? More specifically, would LLMs help circumvent retraining for new tasks and striking a balance between specificity and generality? This led us to designing LLM-powered approaches that introduce a new way of thinking about data exploration.

Foreword Dr. Agung Setianto Assoc. Prof. Head of Geological Engineering Department Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta, Indonesia It is an honour for the Geological Engineering Department of Universitas Gadjah Mada to hold the 3rd International Conference on Geological Engineering and Geosciences (ICGoES 2023), an annual conference program sponsored by our department. This is the 3rd year we hold this international conference, which was originally started in 2014 as a national level geology festival and seminar for Indonesian academics and students. The chosen theme for this year’s event, “Innovating the Future: Navigating the Intersection of Geology and Technology,” encapsulates the dynamic synergy between two realms undergoing rapid evolution. Within the sphere of geology and geosciences, technological advancements have ushered in a new era of understanding and exploration. These innovations offer powerful tools and novel methodologies that enable scientists to delve deeper into the complexities of our ever-changing planet, particularly in response to the pressing challenges posed by the climate crisis. The fusion of geology and technology not only expands our knowledge but also enhances our ability to adapt and respond effectively to environmental shifts. Yet, amidst the strides forward, there exist inherent challenges. The unprecedented accessibility to technology brings with it a set of hurdles, demanding careful navigation and thoughtful consideration. As we venture into this intersection, we must remain vigilant, recognizing both the opportunities and obstacles that accompany this transformative journey. I hope the success of this event will strengthen future collaboration between our university with universities and research institutes in Indonesia and from all over the world. Once again, we thank you for your contribution to and participation in ICGoES 2023 and I hope you had a great time and wonderful experience.
