Abstract:
Invertebrates are major contributors to biodiversity with important roles in ecosystem function but are often overlooked in conservation work in favour of larger, charismatic species. Invertebrates living outside of captive conditions may have the potential to affect zoo activities, and it has been suggested that zoos might contribute to invertebrate conservation programs by providing suitable habitat for these organisms. In this study, a survey of invertebrates living in non-fenced areas of Auckland Zoo was carried out to explore the relationship between the vegetation and invertebrate communities throughout the zoo grounds. A total of 6,133 invertebrate specimens were collected in pitfall traps over a ten-day period in January of 2018. Using morphospecies as surrogates for species, differences in invertebrate community structure in different non-fenced areas were assessed. No significant relationship between native vegetation and native invertebrates was detected.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper reviews the interactions of vertebrates and invertebrates in peatlands and marshes to assess current knowledge and future research needs. Living organisms may interact through a number of direct trophic and nutrient pathways and a variety of non-trophic, habitat-dependent relationships. Freshwater marshes and peatlands are dynamic aquatic environments and organisms that occupy these areas must be adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. The avian community illustrates the main interactions of invertebrates and vertebrates in peatlands and marshes. Waterfowl, along with fish and furbearers, are the most economically important vertebrates using these habitats. Each of these groups has important trophic and habitat links to the invertebrates within wetlands.The most common interaction between vertebrates and invertebrates is the use of invertebrates as food by vertebrates. Few studies, however, have dealt with trophic dynamics or secondary production within wetlands. Waterfowl, fish, and many other wetland vertebrates, during all or part of their life cycles, regularly feed on invertebrates. Some invertebrates are vectors of disease and parasites to vertebrates. Vertebrates can directly affect the structural substrate that invertebrates depend on as habitat through consumption of macrophytes or through the use of living and dead plant material in the construction of houses and nests. Conversely, herbivorous invertebrates may directly affect the survival and distribution of macrophytes in wetlands. Macrophyte distribution, in turn, is an important factor in determining vertebrate use of wetlands. The general lack of both taxonomic and ecological information on invertebrates in wetlands is the main hindrance to future elucidation of vertebrate–invertebrate interactions in these environments. Development of invertebrate sampling techniques suitable for wetland habitats also is necessary. More specific research needs must be met to develop a better understanding of the structure and function of these dynamic systems.

Abstract:
Using video transects of oil and gas platform crossbeams off central and southern California, we characterized the structure-forming invertebrates (with a height of at least 20 cm) found around 23 oil and gas platforms at depths between 20 and 363 m. We observed 20,357 individual invertebrates, comprising 19,800 Cnidaria and 557 Porifera of at least 15 species or species groups. Metridium farcimen (Brandt, 1835) was by far the most commonly observed cnidarian, forming 97.6% of all invertebrates catalogued. The alcyonacean, Leptogorgia chilensis (Verrill, 1868), and the scleractinian, Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758), were the most commonly observed corals. White vase sponges (most or all in the family Aphrocallistidae) were the most abundant of the sponges (comprising 38.4% observed). We also documented a variety of unidentified foliose, barrel, and other various-shaped sponges. The height of these invertebrates ranged from 20 to 80 cm. Taxa displayed a variety of depth patterns. Some, such as M. farcimen, unidentified white vase sponges, and L. pertusa, were found throughout most or all of the survey depth range, while others (notably the gorgonians L. chilensis, Placogorgia spp., and Acanthogorgia spp.) were found over a relatively narrow range. Invertebrate assemblages tended to be similar among many platforms reflecting species similarities over a broad range of platform depths. Based on these relationships, it is apparent that the assemblages of structure-forming invertebrates varied by depth rather than geography.

Abstract:
AbstractMorphogenesis is a process describing how the shapes of living tissues and bodies are created during development. Living and fossil organisms exhibit enormously diverse tissue architecture and body forms, although the functions of organs are evolutionally conserved. Current knowledge reveals that relatively conserved mechanisms are applied to control development among different species. However, the regulations of morphogenesis are quite diverse in detail. Animals in the ocean display a wide range of diversity of morphology suitable for their seawater environment. Nevertheless, compared with the intensive studies on terrestrial animals, research on marine animal morphogenesis is still insufficient. The increasing genomic data and the recently available gene editing methods, together with the fast development of imaging techniques, quantitative analyses and biophysical models, provide us the opportunities to have a deeper understanding of the principles that drive the diverse morphogenetic processes in marine animals. In this review, we summarize the recent studies of morphogenesis and evolution at molecular, cellular and tissue levels, with a focus on three model marine animals, namely ascidians, sea urchins and sea anemones.

All living organisms possess mechanisms for obtaining nutrition. Many invertebrates also possess movable mouthparts capable of capturing prey or particulate food (e.g., polychaetes, cephalopods, arthropods and echinoderms). All living vertebrates have specialized mouthparts, and as far as we know all fossil agnathans had them also, but movable jaws supported by an internal skeleton are absent in living and fossil agnathans.

Abstract:
Global warming is considered to be the most adverse consequence from the increasing anthropogenic emissions of CO2. However, in the marine environment additional problems related to the elevated levels atmospheric CO2 may arise; the increased amount of CO2 absorbed by the oceans may lead to a moderate, but consistent and global reduction in seawater pH due to the acidifying effect of CO2, a phenomenon referred to as ocean acidification. Another potential problem may occur as a result of sub-seabed storage of anthropogenic CO2, a disposal alternative introduced by the gas industry to mitigate CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Leakage from such storage sites could potentially cause a relatively local, but extreme acidification of the seawater near the leakage site. Both scenarios may create unfavourable conditions for marine organisms, and previous studies have reported that environmental hypercapnia (elevated pCO2) may affect an array of physiological processes in marine organisms such as acid-base status and metabolic rate. Deep-living animals are considered to be particularly vulnerable to environmental hypercapnia due to their low metabolic rate and poor ability to counteract effects of environmental stressors. To predict the possible outcome of the two scenarios described above it is important to understand the physiological mechanisms that marine organisms apply to handle the CO2 stress. During conditions of elevated seawater pCO2, the charge neutral CO2 molecules permeate biological membranes and react with water in the body fluids resulting in the net formation of HCO3- and H+. Thus, the primary effect of elevated pCO2 is induction of body fluid acidosis. Acid-base regulation during acidosis is generally mediated by buffering compounds as well as acid elimination through direct removal of hydrogen ions (H+) and/or accumulation of buffering bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). In the current thesis the deep-sea bivalve Acesta excavata, the green shore crab Carcinus maenas, and the deep-water prawn Pandalus borealis were exposed to elevated seawater levels of pCO2. The purpose was to study the responses of the different species to elevated pCO2 and to compare the capacity of shallow- and deep-living animals to counteract CO2-induced effects. To meet these objectives changes in acid-base relevant parameters (pH, pCO2, [HCO3-]) and metabolic rate was studied in all three species, while gene expression and activity of ion regulating proteins as well as changes in the metabolome were determined in C. maenas alone. Calcifying animals, such as bivalves, have been suggested to utilise HCO3- from the calcium carbonate shell to buffer acidosis. However, this buffering strategy may be restricted to closed systems such as during shell closure. Indeed, the findings in the present thesis indicate that shell dissolution does not occur in the deep-living bivalve A. excavata in response to CO2-induced acidosis. Consequently, A. excavata does not seem to be able to compensate extra- or intracellular acidosis in response to severe environmental hypercapnia, and experiences a drop in metabolic rate most likely induced by low body fluid pH. However, this species displays a relatively high nonbicarbonate buffering capacity, and may therefore be able to tolerate more moderate levels of CO2 exposure than that experienced in the present study. In decapod crustaceans extracellular pH-regulation occurs in the posterior gills by electroneutral ion exchange between the extracellular fluids and the surrounding seawater. The shore crab C. maenas was able to partially compensate extracellular acidosis by accumulating relatively high levels of HCO3- in response to elevated pCO2, and the degree of compensation was dependent on the level of CO2 exposure. The results from the present thesis suggest that this species can compensate acidosis without substantially increasing the acid-base regulatory capacity of the branchial ion transporting proteins. Surprisingly, the deep-water prawn Pandalus borealis exhibited similar abilities as the shore crab to counteract extracellular acidosis induced by elevated pCO2. This was achieved by increasing the extracellular concentration of HCO3- to a similar degree as C. maenas. The findings indicate that this species display similar acid-base regulatory capacities as shallow-living decapods, thus nuancing the picture of the compensating capacities of deep-living animals. Acid-base regulation in both decapod species was achieved without affecting the osmolality of the extracellular fluid. This is in contrast to what has been reported for subtidal decapod crabs. The metabolic rate was not significantly affected in any of the two species, possibly due to their ability to maintain extracellular pH close to normal values. While acid-base regulation in response to CO2-induced acidosis has received increased scientific attention, only a very few studies have investigated responses of the metabolome to elevated pCO2. 1H-NMR metabolomics revealed that in the green shore crab CO2 exposure induces a shift in the metabolic fingerprint in both hemolymph and extracts of gills and leg muscle. The shift is not the result of changes in metabolites involved in energy metabolism, as could be expected. Rather, it is due to a general decrease in the concentration of metabolites, particularly of important osmolytes such as the amino acids proline and glycine. The observed changes were most prominent after prolonged exposure, suggesting an exhaustive response rather than an active, compensatory mechanism. The results indicate that in response to elevated pCO2 shore crabs experience symptoms resembling those of animals acclimated to condtions of reduced salinity. This may possibly suggests a disturbance of intracellular isoosmotic regulation. The present thesis indicates that A. excavata would be highly, and possibly permanently affected by severe CO2 exposure associated with CO2 leakage, while both the intertidal and deep-living decapods could tolerate relatively prolonged periods of quite severe hypercapnic conditions.

Abstract:
South Africa bears the largest burden of children living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, with 450 000 of the continent's over 3 million children living with HIV estimated to be in the country (UNAIDS, 2013:87). Children living with HIV have various intrinsic biopsychosocial needs, and the meeting of these needs within drop-in-centres is primarily the responsibility of Social Auxiliary Workers, a ?frontline? category of social welfare workforce whose roles are viewed as critical in enabling the identification and facilitation of provision of health and other services. The study was informed by a concern that, in spite of their envisaged roles, Social Auxiliary Workers have very limited paediatric HIV knowledge, skills and experience. The goal of the study was to explore the perceptions of Social Auxiliary Workers on their role and competencies in addressing biopsychosocial needs of children living with HIV at drop-in-centres. The researcher conducted this study from a qualitative approach. The study was applied in a natural setting and a collective case study design was utilised. The work experiences of a purposive sample of participants that was randomly sampled were gathered by means of semi-structured one-on-one interviews. A total sample of 10 participants was drawn from a pool of 40 Social Auxiliary Workers who were employed in 18 drop-in-centres that are in Sedibeng District Municipality. The study's findings indicate that children living with HIV had many complex biological, psychological and social needs that were exacerbated by stigma, discrimination and non-disclosure of the children's HIV status by parents. This created underlying debilitating barriers for Social Auxiliary Workers to efficiently identify, and get children into treatment, care and social support services. The findings also revealed that Social Auxiliary Workers had limited, non-standardised and highly imperceptible HIV knowledge and skills to competently work with children living with HIV. Furthermore, findings showed that Social Auxiliary Workers face institutional and resource challenges that stem from poverty, insufficient financial resources within drop-in-centres and lack of structured large scale programmes to mobilise and educate communities on children and HIV. The study concluded that many of the biopsychosocial needs that children living with HIV face are not being comprehensively and sustainably addressed as Social Auxiliary Workers are not effective in their role, amongst other things, due to lack of skills and knowledge on how to address factors that contribute to the exclusion; and consequently, disproportionate low access of services by children living with HIV. The study proposes the training and capacitation of Social Auxiliary Workers on paediatric HIV so as to increase the depth and breadth of services rendered to children living with HIV. It is also important that regular and on-going supervision and debriefing opportunities for Social Auxiliary Workers should be strengthened to promote optimal consolidation of skills and knowledge. The provision of simplified practice guidelines and procedures should also be prioritised in order to ensure consistency in understanding amongst Social Auxiliary Workers of their role and obligations. Furthermore, it is recommended that Government and the Department of Social Development should consider scaling-up funding for drop-in-centres as well as implementation of HIV-related stigma and discrimination mitigation programmes in communities.

Abstract:
Many elderly patients visiting the emergency department for minor injuries are not assessed for functional status and experience functional decline 6 months post injury. Identifying such high-risk patients can allow for interventions to prevent or minimize adverse health outcomes including loss of independence. For the purpose of a planned clinical decision rule to identify elderly patients at high risk of functional decline a survey of physicians was conducted. A random sample of 534 Canadian geriatricians, emergency and family physicians was selected with half randomly selected to receive an incentive. A response rate of 57.0% was obtained with 90% of physicians considering a drop in function of at least 2 points on the 28-point OARS ADL scale as clinically significant. A sensitivity of 90% would meet or exceed 90% of physicians' requirements for a clinical decision rule to identify injured seniors at high risk of functional decline 6 months post injury.

Fire fighting is a profession which is deeply influence on the lives of citizens. It is also an index of social security. The National Fire Agency was founded in1995. Since then, local governments reorganized fire bureau continually, and separated it from the police system. It has been transformed from fire-distinguished passively to fire-prevented actively in past decade. In this research, the organizational characters are examined by the view of life experiences of fire fighters which was analyzed by qualitative method . The author interviewed three special representatives of the Fire Department in Taitung (female, native and supervisors). The characters are categorized as follow: the Fire Department is too masculine for female to adapt themselves. They have to face the complicated affairs in public. They are not able to participate training sections due to the heavy duties. Meanwhile, they couldn’t teach the experiences to the newcomers because of the limits of budget and manpower. Even fire fighters tend to refuse job promotion. In the case of the Taitung Fire Department, the sector will face the role confusion and distraction in the future. It includes: sexual culture, unprofessional duties, unfair job promotion system and blurred hierarchy. It is necessary to improve the human resource system and the efficiency of fire fighting. It will be helpful to rebuild the organizational profession.

Multi-use of public parking areas is a newly developed scheme to give the private sector incentives to invest urban parking facilities with a tight government budget. However, for the unsoundness of relative regulations and lack of experiences, the negative impacts it brings about burden nearby neighborhoods, resulting in various protections against these projects. This paper explores the attitude of nearby residents toward the scheme of Dayeh Takashimaya in Taipei so as to understand its impacts on living environmental quality and to further policy suggestions for similar projects. This paper indicates that the exterior economies get along with the exterior diseconomies in the project. Because the facility is closely related to people’s daily life, those residents live near it show their acceptance, but oppose it in some distances away. Most people recognize that the YINBY effect of this project is much larger than its NIMBY effect. Also, it suggests that the multi-use of public parking areas should maximize its exterior economies and minimize its exterior diseconomies. In the short term, the cooperation of the public sector and private sector to promote environmental management to minimize exterior diseconomies is essential. Otherwise, its short-term negative externalities will override its long-term benefits. In the long run, it can be better put an end to its exterior diseconomies by imposing penalty or performance standards, or via subsidy or negotiation. Through such measures as conflict management, the effect of exterior economies will become more significant.

Fude low-income housing households were built in 1970, located between lane 94 and lane 96, Da-Do Rd., Xinyi district, Taipei City. They are free households provided to low- income citizens by Department of Social Welfare, Taipei City Government. In the floods of urban renewal, old Fude low-income housing households are going to be dismantled; their number plates will go to history at the same time and then be kept in people’s memory. This research focuses on the project of urban renewal and dismantling to move at current location of Fude low-income housing. The objects include 249 households of the elderly living alone, officials at Department of Social Welfare, supervisors and social workers at Fude low-income housing office. It conducts methods of in-depth interview of qualitative research, observation, theory and literature reference to deep probe into, before low-income households are dismantled to move, the condition of scheme and implementation of the resettlement policy for the elderly living alone, as well as the status of their place attachment, mood and feeling. From the three aspects, researchers probe into reason and type of place attachment from interviewed elderly living alone. They are life track, sense of place and interpersonal relationship respectively. Place attachment commonly exists for the elderly living alone at Fude low-income housing, and it’s sure an unavoidable problem when implementing resettlement policy. But social works’ love, patience, guidance skill can reduce emotion of place attachment. Besides, feedback on the social workers’ guidance from the elderly living alone at Fude low-income housing is positive. But the evaluation is both positive and negative on the resettlement location, the policy responses on the latter. Research comes out that, regarding policy making on contents of settlement policy for the elderly living alone at Fude low-income housing, 1.The settlement policy is law compliable. 2. Policy’s setup emphasizes localization. 3. Policy model is taking incremental approach. 4. Channel of policy’s legitimization goes through authorization by officials at government organization. 5. Policy is with feedback mechanism to allow social workers to seek welfare for the disadvantaged. 6. Policy implementation uses current manpower and settlement locations resources owned by Department of Social Welfare. 7. Locations for settling the elderly living alone at low-income housing include relocation to another low-income housing, moving to retirement institution, assistance in renal, moving to elder care institution and veterans home, returning to the mainland China or seeking help from relatives and friends. Next, on the real side of implementing policy, related personnel at Fude low-income housing office set up an operation method themselves without any experience. Settlement policy for the elderly living alone is completely transparent, public and open, it gives consideration to sentiment, reason and law and acts on the premise of the demand of the elderly living alone. Social workers at Fude low-income housing office thinks there are four problems for the elderly living alone when facing households dismantled to move : they are economic issue, place attachment, hesitant about settlement location and wrong expectation on the settlement process. Social workers spend lots of efforts on counseling the elderly living alone and solving these problems. In these cases, settlement policy conducted by social workers at Fude low-income housing conforms to “task centered model “theorized in social work, which bases on the good relation between social workers and the elderly living alone and holds specialty principles and skills of “client self-determination”, ”patience”, “empathey” , “acceptance”, ”guidance to positive thinking”, “utilization of same generation strength”. Basing on the sense of responsibility and values, social workers at Fude low-income housing start feedback mechanism in the process of implementing settlement policy, and strive for rights, interests and welfare for the elderly living alone. Researcher’s suggestions to the settlement policy for the elderly living alone are: 1. Raising the rental allowance. 2. Adding living alone house to settlement locations. 3. Combining social resources to provide free service. Taiwan has gone to aging society already; it’s very common for the elderly to live alone. In the process of urban renewal, settlement and relocation of the elderly living alone happens anytime. Researcher thinks the setup and implementation of settlement policy for the elderly living alone at Fude low-income housing goes smoothly with a long period of adaption and compromise. It’s obvious to see the efforts from Department of Social Welfare and social workers at Fude low-income housing office because there has been no any resistance and conflict from the elderly living alone. This valuable experience will be enough to be the guidance when conducting similar case in the future.

Abstract:
AbstractProteomics combined to advanced bioinformatics tools is acquiring a pivotal role in the comprehensive understanding of living organism’s biology, in particular for non-model organisms, which includes most marine and aquatic invertebrates. Depicting of protein composition in a whole organ/organism followed by their assembling in functional protein association networks promotes the understanding of key biological processes. Here, we provide a detailed description of the extraction procedure of cell-free coelomic fluid soluble proteins and the characterization of the proteome of the starfish Marthasterias glacialis. Due to coelomic fluid richness in glycoproteins, which complicates protein identification, extracts of soluble proteins are deglycosylated prior to tandem mass spectrometry. This experimental approach is useful at improving knowledge on the coelomic fluid physiological role and deciphering its involvement in regeneration of starfish body parts when comparing different regeneration conditions.

AbstractThe development of the documentation and conservation of performance-based artworks has been a key priority for Tate’s Conservation department. The rise in complexity of the relationship between the institution and the artworks entering the collection prompted the development of current practices relating to the documentation and conservation of performance within the time-based media conservation team. This chapter explores the development of the current documentation strategies for the conservation of performance at Tate, by highlighting not only the impact of collecting practices in the development of knowledge, but also how the process results on the creation of both theoretical and practical forms of practice. The chapter will focus on the development of core documentation tools and theoretical models for understanding performance art and how it relates to the museum.

Abstract:
AbstractBuilding on four years of ethnographic fieldwork carried out in the office of the Mapping San Siro action-research group (Department of Architecture and Urban Studies, Polytechnic University of Milan) in one of the main social housing neighbourhoods of Milan, in this contribution I will investigate the role and meaning of the Urban Living Labs (ULL) from an ‘internal’ perspective. An ongoing process of building relationships and caring for a space has allowed me to develop a reflection on multifaceted dimensions of daily life in the neighbourhood. Moreover, through anthropological literature, I will critically analyse the frustrations often experienced by researchers involved in fieldwork and planning. These frustrations highlight issues that go beyond the neighbourhood, showing the territorial dimension of the space. I will then highlight some ethical implications as clues that offer a more grounded understanding of daily life, rather than solving those implications with ready-made answers.

Abstract:
AbstractMyanmar targets 100% electrification by 2030 through both of grid extension and off-grid electrification under the National Electrification Plan (NEP). Despite all the policies and plans of the government, a significant population living in remote rural areas will remain far from the nation grid and unable to afford connection fees in the distant future. The Myanmar Department of Rural Development, which is the leading government agency in implementing the off-grid component of the NEP, therefore seeks assistance from advanced countries and international societies, including Taiwan. Based on the local conditions of targeted villages, the International Cooperation Development Fund proposes a tailored pilot project for rural Myanmar. The project achieved the development goals of inclusive growth and environmental protection through access to affordable and renewable energy and demonstrated that even the poor or vulnerable groups in developing countries can contribute to a net-zero society.

Abstract:
<i>Odobenocetops peruvianus</i> Muizon, 1993 (early Pliocene, southern Peru), is a bizarre cetacean that is convergent in its skull, general aspect, and presumably feeding habits with the modem walrus <i>Odobenus rosmarus</i> (Linnaeus). Its cranial specializations are unique among cetaceans and include loss of the elongated rostrum, development of large premaxillary processes housing asymmetrical tusks, forward migration of the bony nares, reversal of the typical cetacean telescoping of the skull, dorsal binocular vision, large vaulted palate, and an inferred upper lip. The structure of the basicranium (possession of palatine expansions of the pterygoid sinus and presence of a large cranial hiatus) and face (possession of a medial portion of the maxillae at the anterior border of the nares) indicates that it belongs to the odontocete infraorder Delphinida and to the superfamily Delphinoidea. Within this group <i>Odobenocetops</i> is related to the Monodontidae because of the lateral lamina of its palatine flooring the optic groove, the anteroposterior elongation of the temporal fossa, and the thickness of the alisphenoid and squamosal in the region of the foramen ovale. We hypothesize that <i>Odobenocetops</i>, like the walrus, fed upon shallow-water benthic invertebrates and probably used its tongue and upper lip jointly in extracting the soft parts of bivalves or other invertebrates by suction. The highly modified morphology of the rostrum indicates that there was no melon as in all other odontocetes, and therefore that <i>Odobenocetops</i> was probably unable to echolocate; binocular vision could have compensated for this inability. The most probable function of the tusks themselves was social, as in the living walrus, but we suggest that the historically primary function of both the premaxillary processes of <i>Odobenocetops</i> and the tusks of <i>Odobenus</i> was as orientation guides in feeding. This reopens the question of whether the tusks of walruses play a role in feeding, as it seems that these also may be useful as orientation guides for the mouth and vibrissal array.

Abstract:
Practitioners, local leaders and agencies in Texas are working together with the undergraduate architecture students at Prairie View A&M University (Historic Black College and University) through a unique service learning program to explore and propose architectural design solutions for the looming push of climate gentrification in historically segregated neighborhoods. Several projects are on the boards to be built as small footprint, scalable, design-build demonstrations. The student designs showcase sustainable building strategies informed through the U.S. Department of Energy, Race to Zero student competition, building science and sustainable building courses, and research of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Fortified Home construction standards. The integrated design studio, Living Lab for Climate Justice, at the School of Architecture, Prairie View A&M University, is rooted in environmental justice and service learning, as a framework for weaving culture, climate and ecology into long-term housing solutions for post-disaster communities facing sustained environmental injustice in the Gulf Coast.

Abstract:
In the last few decades, the attention of researchers has been attracted by endogenous FMRFamide-like neuropeptides found in a number of invertebrates, including species of the Nematoda phylum. A foreign literature review was presented for the functional significance of endogenous FMRFamide-like neuropeptides in locomotor behaviour of root-knot phytonematodes, representatives of the genus Meloidogyne Goldi, 1982, namely, Meloidogyne incognita, M. minor, M. hapla and M. graminicola. In Russia, such studies are not carried out. The main characteristics of phytoparasitic neuropeptides were obtained from the study of genes (flp-genes) that encode these neuropeptides. M. incognita was found to have FMRFamidelike positive immunoreactivity in the central nervous system and 19 flp genes. The Mi-flp-12 and Mi-flp-14 genes encode neuropeptides that stimulate locomotor behaviour, while Mi-flp-32 encodes a neuropeptide that inhibits parasite locomotor behaviour. Nematodes M. incognita and M. hapla were found to have G-proteincoupled receptors (GPCRs) encoded by the flp-32 gene, and their similarity to receptor 1 (C26F1) of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was detected. Similar data were presented in the literature for M. graminicola. The peptidergic signaling nervous system of root-knot phytonematodes is similar to the system of nematodes in vertebrates and free-living nematodes, which indicates the conservatism of the system in species of the entire Nematoda phylum.

Abstract: One of the main diseases of occupational etiology in miners is pneumoconiosis. A retrospective analysis of 4,780 case histories of the occupational pathological department of the STATE ESTABLISHMENT «LUGANSK REPUBLICAN CLINICAL HOSPITAL» of the LUGANSK PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC with the first established diagnosis of an occupational disease was carried out. A sample of medical histories of patients with primary diagnosis of pneumoconiosis in young miners was carried out. The comparison was made with the years of «peaceful» life and the years of exposure to chronic stress caused by living in a zone of armed conflict. As a result, there was an increase in the number of reported cases of pneumoconiosis among young, most able-bodied miners living in an armed conflict zone. Changes in the lungs were characterized by the presence of nodular forms, greater prevalence and severity of fibrous process.

Abstract:
Ireland’s National Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development (2014-2020), highlights the need to equip students with “the relevant knowledge (the ‘what’), the key dispositions and skills (the ‘how’) and the values (the ‘why’)” to contribute to a more sustainable future (Department of Education and Skills, 2014). Delivering on this challenge requires embedding sustainability within both the formal and informal learning that occurs on campus (Hopkinson et al. 2008), while also integrating sustainability both within and across disciplines (Byrne et al., 2018). UCC is a global leader in sustainability in higher education, being the first University in the world to be awarded a Green Flag from the Foundation for Environmental Education (Reidy et al, 2015). Sustainability at UCC is “student-led, research-informed, and practice-focused” that is, the programme takes an integrated approach and aims to utilise the collective student agency and research capability to deliver real and lasting change on the ground (Pelenc et al. 2015). UCC’s Academic Strategy, with sustainability and interdisciplinarity as key components of the new “Connected Curriculum”, aims to “facilitate students to develop values, skills and aptitudes that promote civic participation, social inclusion, sustainability, digital fluency and impactful, global citizenship” (UCC, 2018). A key aim of delivering its Sustainability Strategy is that UCC would become a “Living Laboratory”, where students, academics and practitioners work together, using the campus itself as a testbed for solutions to today’s major societal challenges (UCC, 2016). A Living Laboratory project should aim to: • Solve a real-life problem • Be based on a partnership among key stakeholders, often crossing disciplinary and/or sectoral boundaries • Trial and test ideas in real life settings • Share data and findings generated openly (EAUC, 2017).

Full text
Abstract:
Monitoring ecosystems is vital to understanding trends over time and key to detecting change so that managers can address perturbations. Freshwater streams are the lifeblood of the surrounding landscape, and their health is a measure of the overall watershed integrity. Streams are the culmination of upland processes and inputs. Degradation on the landscape as well as changes to the stream itself can be detected using biota living in these ecosystems. Aquatic invertebrates are excellent indicators of ecosystem quality because they are relatively long-lived, sessile, diverse, abundant and their tolerance to perturbation differs. Aquatic invertebrates were monitored at three sites along the Niobrara River at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument in 2019 completing 23 years of data using Hester-Dendy and Hess samplers. Hess samplers are artificial multi-plate samplers suspended in the water column to allow invertebrates to colonize and Hess samples collect invertebrates in a known area on natural substrate and vegetation. We identified 45 invertebrate taxa from four phyla (Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Nematoda) using both samplers in the Niobrara River (Appendix A and B). Hester-Dendy samplers collected 4 taxa not found in Hess samples and Hess samples collected 17 taxa not collected with Hester-Dendy samplers. Hess samples captured more (91%) than Hester-Dendy samples (62%). Crustacea, Diptera and Ephemeroptera were the most abundant groups of invertebrates collected in the Niobrara River. The proportion of Insecta, Annelida, Trichoptera and Diptera differed between Hester-Dendy and Hess samples (p < 0.05). EPT richness, proportion EPT taxa and Hilsenhoff’s Biotic Index (HBI) (p < 0.0001) differed between sampler types, but taxa richness, taxa diversity and evenness (p > 0.29) did not. We collected the highest density of invertebrates at the Agate Middle site. Agate Spring Ranch had the lowest taxa richness and HBI, and the highest proportion of EPT taxa. HBI at the sites ranged from 4.0 to 6.3 (very good to fair from Hilsenhoff 1987) using the Hester-Dendy and 5.2 to 6.9 (good to fairly poor from Hilsenhoff 1987) using the Hess sampler.

Abstract:
Blowing snow accounts for a large part of Illinois Department of Transportation’s total winter maintenance expenditures. This project aims to develop recommendations on the design and placement of living snow fences (LSFs) to minimize snowdrift on Illinois highways. The research team examined historical IDOT data for resource expenditures, conducted a literature review and survey of northern agencies, developed and validated a numerical model, field tested selected LSFs, and used a model to assist LSF design. Field testing revealed that the proper snow fence setback distance should consider the local prevailing winter weather conditions, and snow fences within the right-of-way could still be beneficial to agencies. A series of numerical simulations of flow around porous fences were performed using Flow-3D, a computational fluid dynamics software. The results of the simulations of the validated model were employed to develop design guidelines for siting LSFs on flat terrain and for those with mild slopes (< 15° from horizontal). Guidance is provided for determining fence setback, wind characteristics, fence orientation, as well as fence height and porosity. Fences comprised of multiple rows are also addressed. For sites with embankments with steeper slopes, guidelines are provided that include a fence at the base and one or more fence on the embankment. The design procedure can use the available right-of-way at a site to determine the appropriate fence characteristics (e.g., height and porosity) to prevent snow deposition on the road. The procedure developed in this work provides an alternative that uses available setback to design the fence. This approach does not consider snow transport over an entire season and may be less effective in years with several large snowfall events, very large single events, or a sequence of small events with little snowmelt in between. However, this procedure is expected to be effective for more frequent snowfall events such as those that occurred over the field-monitoring period. Recommendations were made to facilitate the implementation of research results by IDOT. The recommendations include a proposed process flow for establishing LSFs for Illinois highways, LSF siting and design guidelines (along with a list of suitable plant species for LSFs), as well as other implementation considerations and identified research needs.

Abstract:
Dousman Creek, located in northeastern Iowa, is a Class ?B? coldwater stream that supports a trout population and is listed among the Outstanding Iowa Waters (Iowa Department of Natural Resources 2010, 2016). The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (Heartland Network) of the National Park Service (NPS) has been monitoring aquatic communities (fish and invertebrates) in Dousman Creek within Effigy Mounds National Monument (NM) since 2008. Corresponding physical habitat and water quality were also collected during biotic sampling. The objectives of this long-term monitoring program are to assess the status and trends in the biotic stream community and relate these trends to environmental variables. The purpose of this report is to summarize the baseline aquatic community data collected during three sampling events conducted from 2008 to 2017. The fish community was dominated by the intolerant cool/cold-water species Brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdii) in 2008, while more tolerant white sucker (Catostomus comersonii) and Johnny darter (Etheostoma nigrum) were most abundant in 2014. During 2017, fish community composition was more evenly distributed among species present. Benthic invertebrate samples were dominated by the moderately intolerant mayfly genus Pseudocloeon and blackfly genus Simulium in 2008 and 2014, while the invertebrate samples in 2017 were dominated primarily by a tolerant, mayfly taxa (Baetis) and Oligochaetes. The abundance of aquatic invertebrates in 2017 was more than ten times lower than invertebrate abundance in 2008 and 2014. Water quality data collected by the Heartland Network did not indicate any of the five parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, or turbidity) exceeded the Iowa Department of Natural Resources water quality standards, however the number of hourly measurements were low (4?20 measurements) depending on year sampled. Three years of data are currently insufficient to fully characterize the stream integrity of Dousman Creek based on fish and invertebrate communities. Continued long-term monitoring of Dousman Creek will allow for better assessment of the biotic integrity and overall quality of the stream.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of administering the Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM), a widely used tool for collecting 24-hour dietary recalls, in participants’ homes by field interviewers. Design: The design included computer-assisted personal interviews led by either a nutritionist (standard) or field interviewer. Portion estimators tested were a set of three-dimensional food models (standard), a two-dimensional food model booklet, or a tablet with digital images rendered via augmented reality. Setting: Residences in central North Carolina. Participants: English-speaking adults. Pregnant women and individuals who were fasting were excluded. Results: Among 133 interviews, most took place in living rooms (52%) or kitchens (22%). Mean interview time was 40 minutes (range 13–90), with no difference by interviewer type or portion estimator, although timing for nutritionist-led interviews declined significantly over the study period. Forty-five percent of participants referenced items from their homes to facilitate recall and portion estimation. Data entry and post-interview coding was evaluated and determined to be consistent with requirements for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Values for the number of food items consumed, food groups, energy intake (average of 3,011 kcal for men and 2,105 kcal for women), and key nutrients were determined to be plausible and within reasonably expected ranges regardless of interviewer type or portion estimator used. Conclusions: AMPM dietary recall interviews conducted in the home are feasible and may be preferable to clinical administration because of comfort and the opportunity for participants to access home items for recall. AMPMs administered by field interviewers using the food model booklet produced credible nutrition data that was comparable to AMPMs administered by nutritionists. Training field interviewers in dietary recall and conducting home interviews may be sensible choices for nutrition studies when response rates and cost are concerns.

Abstract:
This Article outlines and assesses changes to the tax and welfare system announced as part of Budget 2022. It first looks at the main taxation measures announced before turning to employment, education and social welfare supports. It then considers the effect of the package of measures as a whole on the incomes of households using representative survey data from the Survey of Incomes and Living Conditions run on SWITCH – the ESRI’s tax and benefit microsimulation model – and ITSim – an indirect tax microsimulation model developed jointly by the ESRI and the Department of Finance. The Article concludes with some brief reflections on inflation forecasts and the policy-making process.

Abstract:
This synthesis focuses on the history of research on coral reefs within two U.S. National Park Service units in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands: Buck Island Reef National Monument (from 1961 to 2022) and Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (from 1980 to 2022). Buck Island Reef National Monument (BUIS) is off the north shore of the island of St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Established in 1961 and expanded in 2001, it is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service (NPS). Long-term monitoring programs maintained by the NPS and jointly by the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) and the Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources (VIDPNR) provide data on trends in living coral cover and specific coral species from 2000 and 2001, respectively. Disease, thermal stress (indicated by coral bleaching), and hurricanes reduced total coral cover periodically, but cover remained relatively stable from 2007 through the end of 2020. Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (SARI) is a national park on the north shore of the island of St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Established in 1992, it is co-managed by the NPS and the Government of the Virgin Islands. Long-term monitoring programs maintained by the NPS and by the UVI with the VIDPNR provide data on trends in living coral cover and individual coral species from 2011 and 2001, respectively. In spite of thermal stress (indicated by coral bleaching), disease, and hurricanes, total coral cover remained relatively stable through the end of 2020. This document also includes results from extensive investigations by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and from many individual projects including those based out of the underwater saturation habitats Hydrolab and Aquarius from 1977 to 1989, as well as studies from researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s West Indies Laboratory. While not possible to review all of these in detail, this report highlights information considered useful to managers, and scientists planning future research. In 2021, a particularly virulent disease called stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), first noted in 2014 in Florida, and then in 2019 in the U.S. Virgin Islands, started killing corals in BUIS and SARI with the different species showing a gradient of susceptibility. An exact cause or link between this disease and human actions has not been discovered to date. The losses associated with this disease have now exceeded those from any other stressors in these national parks.

Abstract:
The Research Chair in the Generational Digital Divide undertakes activities aimed at furthering knowledge about the causes, consequences and solutions to the digital divides caused by age gaps. This report shows the research project carried out in 2021 to learn more about how the digital divide affects over 54s living in the Valencia Region, by province, with a focus on intergenerational relationships. To this end, an exploratory survey targeted at over 54s years old and over 39s years old in the Valencia Region, based on primary sources and combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, has been conducted. The data reveals that, while a large percentage of over 54s declare that they have access to and are users of new technologies, much remains to be done for access and usage to become universal, especially at older ages. The report analyses how technology is used, considering its purpose and context, according to age and other significant variables. Differences in technology usage have been found across age groups and between women and men. The report contains information on, among other relevant aspects, online services, and especially on e-banking, the healthcare system and e-administration. Differences between age groups have been found for all indicators, shedding light on intergenerational relationships within the family that are crucial for older people. The Research Chair is an initiative by the Valencia Region Government’s Directorate General for the Fight Against the Digital Divide and stems from the collaboration between the Regional Department for Innovation, Science, Universities and Digital Society and the University of Alicante.

Abstract:
Available data provide a picture for the macro-economy of Colombia, agriculture, and infrastructure. Recent data on trends on public procurement were difficult to find within the scope of this rapid review. In 2020, macro-level employment figures show a large drop between February and April when COVID-19 lockdown measures were first introduced, followed by a gradual upward trend. In December 2020, the employment rate was 4.09 percentage points lower than the employment rate in December 2019. Macro-level figures from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) show that a higher percentage of men experienced job losses than women in November 2020. However, the evidence presented by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia based on the DANE great integrated house survey shows that a higher proportion of all jobs lost were lost by women in the second quarter. It may be that the imbalance shifted over time, but it is not possible to directly compare the data. Evidence suggests that women were disproportionately more burdened by home activities due to the closure of schools and childcare. There is also a suggestion that women who have lost out where jobs able to function during lockdowns with technology are more likely to be held by men. Literature also shows that women have lower levels of technology literacy. There is a lack of reliable data for understanding the economic impacts of COVID-19 for people living with disabilities. A report on the COVID-19 response and disability for the Latin America region recommends improving collaboration between policymakers and non-governmental organisations. Younger people experienced greater job losses. Data for November 2020 show 3.3 percent of the population aged under 25 lost their job compared to 1.8 percent of those employed between 24 and 54. Agriculture, livestock, and fishing increased by 2.8% in 2020 compared to 2019. And the sector as a whole grew 3.4% between the third and fourth quarters of 2020. In terms of sector differences, construction was harder hit by the initial mobility restrictions than agriculture. Construction contracted by 30.5% in the second quarter of 2020. It is making a relatively healthy recovery with reports that 84% of projects being reactivated following return to work. The President of the Colombian Chamber of Construction predicting an 8.4% growth in the construction of housing and other buildings in 2021.
