Absence of broadly collected and methodologically consistent indicators for even the most basic issues such as water quality, and a lack of time-series data for most countries, hampers efforts to shift management onto more empirical foundations, they added.
All three analytical methods confirmed similar trends, and utilization of PCr to compensate for ATP loss was found to be a consistent indicator of sublethal stress-one that could be used to quantify stress associated with medaka embryotoxicity.

We conclude discussing the potential of this approach for consistent indicator delivery, as well as the limitations and possibilities of application to a variety of situations, for which the required quantitative tools are freely available as open source projects.
In practice, identifying appropriate datasets that meet the criteria of an efficient environmental indicator [25] is challenging because of issues such as lack of consistent indicator-evaluation frameworks and institutional commitments for regular data collection [26].
However, similar to MCI, VCIND and its component states lack consistent standardised indicators (for example, symptoms) and a unique case definition.
Somatic symptoms appear to be more consistent universal indicators for mental distress across cultures, and this has been demonstrated in this study where somatic complaints were a central feature of the narratives.
