The assessment of fire effects in Aleppo pine forests is crucial for guiding the recovery burnt areas. This study presents a methodology using UAV-LiDAR data to quantify malleability and elasticity four areas (1970, 1995, 2008 2015) through statistical analysis different metrics related height structure diversity (Height mean, 99th percentile Coefficient Variation), coverage, relative shape distribution strata (Canopy Cover, Canopy Relief Ratio Strata Percent Coverage), canopy complexity (Profile Area Profile Change). In general terms, decreases over time forest ecosystems that have been affected by wildfires, whereas higher than what has determined previous studies. However, particular specificity detected from 1995 fire, so we can assume there are other situational factors may be affecting ecosystem resilience. LiDAR uni-temporal sampling between sectors control aids used understand community resilience identify stages P. halepensis forests.

For academics operating in the academic world, psychosocial risk factors hold significant importance. Factors such as heavy workload, constant performance expectations, time pressure, and competition within work environment can have adverse effects on health well-being of academics. Additionally, like social isolation, imbalance, anxiety negatively impact success. Therefore, recognizing, preventing, managing these is utmost importance order to develop effective strategies. This would enable a healthy achieve productivity In this study, using expert opinions employing sine trigonometry Pythagorean fuzzy numbers, degrees were determined, ranked DEMATEL method. To best our knowledge, method has not been previously utilized literature, thus adding an original aspect study. According findings evaluated from 25 factors, burnout, lack job satisfaction, precarious working conditions, trust, fairness respect, insecurity, developmental opportunities at top, followed by other criteria. context occupational life, active engagement all parties preventing risks crucial factor problem-solving process. It highly important for fulfill their responsibilities, collaborate, improve environments, ensure fairness, provide advancement. Through proactive approaches, satisfaction will increase, motivation levels rise, healthier more efficient be established. Each identified that addressed prevented actually translates into prevention accidents or diseases.
