Abstract:
The planet’s swiftly growing population coupled with the lack of food security and the degradation of natural resources has caused many demographers to worry about the ramifications of unchecked population growth while many philosophers worry about the ethical issues surrounding the methods of population control. Therefore, I intend to argue a system of encouraging a decrease in personal fertility rate via financial incentives offers a solution that is both viable and not morally reprehensible.

Abstract:
On the data from Rosstat the article presents dynamics in the incidence of socially significant diseases, the list of which is specified in the RF Government Decree No. 715 of I December 2004. The List includes the following diseases: disease caused by HIV, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted diseases, diabetes mellitus, malignant neoplasms, mental and behavioral disorders, hypertensive disease — 9 diseases in total. In 2007 there was adopted Federal targeted program “Prevention and control of socially significant diseases (2007–2012)”. In subsequent years similar programs were adopted and implemented by regional authorities. As a result, primary incidence in Russia declined in 2018 as compared to 2005: in active tuberculosis by 1.9 times, in syphilis — by 4 times. The number of patients taken under observation with diagnosis established for the first time in life, also declined: in mental disorders by 1.4 times, in alcoholism by 2.8 times, and in drug addiction by 1.7 times. And within these 13 years was registered an increase of primary incidence in non-communicable diseases: in hypertension by 1.9 times, diabetes mellitus by 1.4 times, malignant neoplasms by 1.2 times, and in infectious disease caused by HIV by 2.5 times. There were identified the causes of these differently directed dynamics. Regional differences in the incidence of socially significant diseases were examined by the number of patients being on the books in medical establishments. There were identified 10 RF subjects with the highest and 10 subjects with the lowest number of patients in 2018.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the conceptualization, promotion and diffusion of the norm of population control at international and domestic levels, as well as adoption and implementation in Egypt. It also offers a critique of mainstream constructivism, an increasingly popular analytical approach to norm diffusion. Constructivists present convincing evidence that nonstate actors change state preferences through the promotion and diffusion of norms, or "shared expectations about appropriate behavior held by a community of actors" (Finnemore 1996, 22). To emphasize the independent influence of social factors, and to downplay material factors, however, constructivists select cases in which norm diffusion occurred before state sponsorship. Constructivist research answers the question, 'How are norms diffused in the absence of material constraint?' Aside from its censorship of material factors, additional constructivist shortcomings include its proclivity for examining only liberal or progressive norms, and its inattention to domestic political process and elites' broader decision-making options. This dissertation demonstrates that diffusion of the norm of population control depended on a combination of material and social factors related to an alliance among strange bedfellows, namely the United States and allied donors and INGOs, UN agencies, populationist and liberal feminist NGOs, and international financial institutions. In this case, the 'norm cascade' of formal state adoptions of population control followed formal social and material support by the United States and, subsequently, the United Nations. This research seeks to demonstrate that relationships of social and material inequality strongly condition the norms that are selected or rejected by international society and states, and the ways in which opponents conceptualize and mobilize for change. The case of population control suggests interesting answers to a different question, namely: How and why are certain international norms, and not others, successfully promoted, diffused and adopted by states? This dissertation also examines the mechanics of norm mutation, or efforts by the international women's health movement to substitute the original population control paradigm, family planning, with the new reproductive health paradigm. This new paradigm was adopted at the 1994 UN International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), and the final chapter examines the current prospects for paradigm change in Egypt.

Abstract:
The disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are serious and growing threats to global health. As vectors of the arboviruses dengue fever and chikungunya, these mosquitoes are responsible for hundreds of millions of cases and thousands of deaths each year. Absent specific treatments or vaccines, effective control of mosquito populations remains the only option for tackling a growing public health challenge. More effective control tools are urgently needed. Recently, a novel approach to pest population control has been developed based on the release of insects carrying a repressible, dominant lethal allele. This approach has achieved dramatic reductions in Ae. aegypti populations in regulated open field experiments. Despite this success, there remains scope to improve upon the current technology. It is proposed that an 'ideal' strain would combine the following features: (i) repressible lethality in late juvenile phases; (ii) a mechanism for removing females at an early developmental stage in the release generation; and (iii) orthogonal expression control mechanisms allowing both these systems to be combined in a single strain. This thesis describes research undertaken in pursuit of a 'next generation' strain. Two novel promoters from putative Osiris genes have been identified which confer a 102-103 – fold up-regulation in transgene expression specific to late pupal stages. One of these 'Osiris' promoters has been used to develop transgenic Aedes aegypti strains. 5 lines showed pupal-specific lethality of 98-100% penetrance, which was repressed in the presence of tetracycline. An Ae. albopictus orthologue of the sex-determining gene doublesex (dsx) has been isolated and characterised and a female-specific expression system developed. Transgenic lines show female-specific expression of a transgene; however, there remains some 'leaky' expression in male insects. Finally, a potential expression control tool based on an auxin-inducible expression system has been investigated. 11 different transgenic lines were developed based on three different construct designs. None showed auxin-inducible expression of a transgene.

Abstract:
Oocyte loss and meiotic prophase progression was studied in XY sex-reversed and XO female mice, two mouse models that lack pairing between their sex chromosomes. An arrest at the pachytene stage of meiosis was not observed, nor was a significant loss of oocytes at this stage compared to normal XX control mice. Thus, it was concluded that a pairing checkpoint either does not exist in oocytes or is not as stringent as the one observed in males.
The effect of mutating the pro-apoptotic Bax molecule was studied at three distinct ages corresponding to the time when female germ cells are premeiotic, in meiotic prophase, and arrested in dictyotene. Although it appeared that more germ cells were retained in the Bax homozygous mutant compared to the wild-type and heterozygous mice at 18.5 dpc, by 24.5 dpc all of the mice possessed similar numbers of germ cells. These results indicate a role for Bax in germ cell death but also support the idea that an alternative pathway can compensate for the elimination of this molecule.

Abstract:
Plasma cells, the effector stage of the B cell compartment, secrete large amounts of antibody. These cells arise in two waves during T-­‐dependent immune responses; an early wave (extrafollicular plasma cells) generate low-­‐affinity antibodies that provide a first line of defence against invading pathogens. Later, plasma cells emerge from the germinal centre reaction and secrete high-­‐affinity antibodies. These plasma cells have the capacity to migrate to the bone marrow, where they become established as long-­‐lived, non-­‐dividing plasma cells. Here, I show that plasma cells found in the bone marrow of young (5-­‐week-­‐old) mice had a turnover comparable to that seen in the spleen. Long-­‐lived plasma cells accumulated over the ensuing weeks until they came to dominate the bone marrow plasma cell compartment by 30-­‐weeks of age. This accumulation required MHC II, CD40 and a normal B cell receptor repertoire, implying that these cells are generated during T-­‐dependent immune responses. Secondly, I determine the signalling pathways required to generate splenic extrafollicular plasma cell responses in the T-­‐dependent response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and in bacterial infection with Salmonella. While T cell help, antigen recognition through the B cell receptor (BCR) and TLR signalling were required for maximal plasma cell responses to SRBC, in Salmonella infection TLR signalling was required for day 4 IgM plasma cell responses, whereas class-­‐ switched responses at day 8 required T cell help. The extrafollicular responses generated in Salmonella persisted for around 35 days, far greater than the 2-­‐3 days seen following SRBC immunisation. This was likely due to both antigen persistence causing the generation of new plasma cells, and the induction of cellular populations that produced the plasma cell survival factor APRIL. Thirdly, I document the failure of chronic immune responses to generate long-­‐ lived bone marrow plasma cells. This was accomplished by measuring the generation and survival of bone marrow plasma cells in models of rheumatoid arthritis (K/BxN mice), long-­‐term infection with Salmonella, and a direct comparison between acute and chronic delivery of the T-­‐dependent protein antigen NP-­‐KLH. In all cases, chronic immune responses generated few bone marrow plasma cells, ostensibly due to a failure to migrate to the organ. Finally, I show the depletion of bone marrow plasma cell populations caused by inflammatory episodes. This was observed in Salmonella infection, Schistosoma mansoni infection and immunisation with protein antigen plus adjuvants. This depletion mediated a reduction of antigen-­‐specific bone marrow plasma cell populations and serum antibody previously established by the secondary response to NP-­‐KLH.

Abstract:
We use control theory to explore management of populations affected by disturbances and uncertainty. We consider five related topics. Chapter 2 uses linear programming to find optimal translocation strategies between wild and captive populations. To allow comparison of the solutions we classify the optimal strategy depending on which stage classes are kept in captivity. We find depending on species, that different stages are targeted when the resource available is limited. In Chapter 3 we use linear programming to create management strategies for an invading population affected by disturbance. For a sinusoidal disturbance, the final population with control is bounded between a transfer function approximation and a feedback control solution. Then we assume worst case disturbance, which creates a 2-player game. In this linear programming context then it is possible that minimax < maximin. Chapter 4 considers a 2-player linear-quadratic problem and introduces the use of disturbance attenuation into ecology. Disturbance attenuation shows how a disturbance is amplified or attenuated by the system. In Chapter 5 we consider an invading population, and we explore the effect that stochasticity has on the relationship between Allee effect and population inertia needed for successful invasion. We find that for small population densities, then demographic stochasticity dramatically reduces the likelihood of invasion and survival of the resident.

Abstract:
Many of the patterns of genetic variation we observe today have arisen via the complex dynamics of interactions and isolation of historic human populations. In this thesis, we focus on two important features of the genetics of populations that can be used to learn about human history: population structure and admixture. The Iberian peninsula has a complex demographic history, as well as rich linguistic and cultural diversity. However, previous studies using small genomic regions (such as Y-chromosome and mtDNA) as well as genome-wide data have so far detected limited genetic structure in Iberia. Larger datasets and powerful new statistical methods that exploit information in the correlation structure of nearby genetic markers have made it possible to detect and characterise genetic differentiation at fine geographic scales. We performed the largest and most comprehensive study of Spanish population structure to date by analysing genotyping array data for ~1,400 Spanish individuals genotyped at ~700,000 polymorphic loci. We show that at broad scales, the major axis of genetic differentiation in Spain runs from west to east, while there is remarkable genetic similarity in the north-south direction. Our analysis also reveals striking patterns of geographically-localised and subtle population structure within Spain at scales down to tens of kilometres. We developed and applied new approaches to show how this structure has arisen from a complex and regionally-varying mix of genetic isolation and recent gene-flow within and from outside of Iberia. To further explore the genetic impact of historical migrations and invasions of Iberia, we assembled a data set of 2,920 individuals (~300,000 markers) from Iberia and the surrounding regions of north Africa, Europe, and sub-Saharan Africa. Our admixture analysis implies that north African-like DNA in Iberia was mainly introduced in the earlier half (860 - 1120 CE) of the period of Muslim rule in Iberia, and we estimate that the closest modern-day equivalents to the initial migrants are located in Western Sahara. We also find that north African-like DNA in Iberia shows striking regional variation, with near-zero contributions in the Basque regions, low amounts (~3%) in the north east of Iberia, and as high as (~11%) in Galicia and Portugal. The UK Biobank project is a large prospective cohort study of ~500,000 individuals from across the United Kingdom, aged between 40-69 at recruitment. A rich variety of phenotypic and health-related information is available on each participant, making the resource unprecedented in its size and scope. Understanding the role that genetics plays in phenotypic variation, and its potential interactions with other factors, provides a critical route to a better understanding of human biology and population health. As such, a key component of the UK Biobank resource has been the collection of genome-wide genetic data (~805,000 markers) on every participant using purpose-designed genotyping arrays. These data are the focus of the second part of this thesis. In particular, we designed and implemented a quality control (QC) pipeline on behalf of the current and future use of this multi-purpose resource. Genotype data on this scale offers novel opportunities for assessing quality issues, although the wide range of ancestral backgrounds in the cohort also creates particular challenges. We also conducted a set of analyses that reveal properties of the genetic data, including population structure and familial relatedness, that can be important for downstream analyses. We find that cryptic relatedness is common among UK Biobank participants (~30% have at least one first cousin relative or closer), and a full range of human population structure is present in this cohort: from world-wide ancestral diversity to subtle population structure at sub-national geographic scales. Finally, we performed a genome-wide association scan on a well-studied and highly polygenic phenotype: standing height. This provided a further test of the effectiveness of our QC, as well as highlighting the potential of the resource to uncover novel regions of association.

Abstract:
First aid represents the simplest urgent measures necessary to save the lives of victims of injuries, accidents and sudden illnesses. Providing first aid greatly increases the chances of salvation in case of bleeding, injury, cardiac and respiratory arrest, and prevents complications such as shock, massive blood loss, additional displacement of bone fragments and injury to large nerve trunks and blood vessels. This electronic educational resourse consists of four theoretical educational modules: legal aspects of providing first aid to victims and work safety when providing first aid; providing first aid in critical conditions of the body; providing first aid for injuries of various origins; providing first aid in case of extreme exposures, accidents and poisonings. The electronic educational resource materials include 8 emergency conditions and 11 life-saving measures. The theoretical block of modules is presented by presentations, the text of lectures with illustrations, a video film and video lectures. Control classes in the form of test control accompany each theoretical module. After studying all modules, the student passes the final test control. Mastering the electronic manual will ensure a high level of readiness to provide first aid to persons without medical education.

Abstract:
Un problema fitosanitario importante en la producción de papa en Colombia es el tizón tardío, causado por el oomiceto Phythopthora infestans (Mont) de Bary. Este problema fitosanitario puede alcanzar hasta el 100% de las pérdidas en el campo. En este momento, la producción de papa en Colombia cuenta con poca resistencia cultivares y dependientes del manejo de enfermedades principalmente en el uso de fungicidas, por lo tanto el control químico representa un impacto negativo en el medio ambiente y el consumidor. Por lo general, múltiples genes o QTL controlan la resistencia cuantitativa a las enfermedades. Para resistencia hasta el tizón tardío, un mapa de consenso reportó 24 meta QTL agrupando 144 QTLs reportados previamente. Los avances en las plataformas de genotipado, como el Innium Potato Array, han hecho posible mapeo genético de alta densidad en genotipos tetraploides de diversos caracteres con interés agronómico. A pesar de estos avances, la investigación sobre la genética de la papa tetraploide y específicamente sobre la resistencia a enfermedades es limitada. Por lo tanto, los objetivos del presente estudio fueron: construir un mapa de ligamiento y para mapear QTL de resistencia a P. infestans usando la cruz F1 RN × 2384.

Abstract:
Crop maturation is one of the most recognized characteristics of peanut, and it is crucial for adaptability and yield. However, not much is known regarding its genetic and molecular control. The goals of this project were to study the molecular-genetic components that control crop maturation in peanut and identify candidate genes. Crop maturation was studied directly by phenotyping the maturity level or through other component traits such as flowering pattern and branching habit. Six different RIL populations (HH, RR, CC, FNC, TGT and FLIC) were used for the genetic analysis. In total, 14 QTLs were found for maturity level. The phenotypic explanation values ranged in 5.3%-18.6%. Common QTL were found between maturity level and harvest index (in RR and CC populations), branching habit (in HH population), flowering pattern/branching rate (in CC and TGT populations) and pod size (in CC population). Further investigations were done to define genes that control maturity level and the component traits. A map-based cloning approach was used to identify a major candidate gene for branching habit - a novel AhMADS-box gene (AhMADS). AhMADS was mainly expressed in the lateral shoot, the organ in which the difference between branching habit occurs. Sequence alignment analysis found SNPs in AhMADS that cause to exon/intron splicing alterations. Overexpression study of AhMADs-box in tobacco under 35S control revealed one line with a spreading-like lateral shoot indicating that AhMADS may be the causing effect of BH and therefore indirectly controls maturity level. In addition, several candidate genes were defined that may control flowering pattern. An RNA expression study was performed on two parental lines, Tifrunner and GT-C20, identifying four candidate genes in the flowering regulatory pathway that were down-regulated at the mainstem (non-flowering) compared to the first (flowering) shoot, indicating their influence on flowering pattern. Also, another candidate gene was identified, Terminal Flowering 1-like (AhTFL1), which was located within a small segment in chromosome B02. A 1492 bp deletion was found in AhTFL1 that completely co-segregates with the flowering pattern phenotype in the CC population and two independent EMS-mutagenized M2 families. AhTFL1 was significantly less expressed in flowering than non-flowering branches. Finally, a field trial showed that an EMS line (B78) mutagenized in AhTFL1 is ~18% days earlier than the control (Hanoch). In conclusion, our study revealed new insights into the molecular basis for the fundamentally important crop maturity trait in peanut. The results generated new information and materials that will promote informed targeting of peanut idiotypes by indirect selection and genomic breeding approaches.

Abstract:
The western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), is a serious widespread pest of vegetable and ornamental crops worldwide. Chemical control for Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on floriculture or vegetable crops can be difficult because this pest has developed resistance to many insecticides and also tends to hide within flowers, buds, and apical meristems. Predatory bugs, predatory mites, and entomopathogenic nematodes are commercially available in both the US and Israel for control of WFT. Predatory bugs, such as Orius species, can suppress high WFT densities but have limited ability to attack thrips within confined plant parts. Predatory mites can reach more confined habitats than predatory bugs, but kill primarily first-instar larvae of thrips. Entomopathogenic nematodes can directly kill or sterilize most thrips stages, but have limited mobility and are vulnerable to desiccation in certain parts of the crop canopy. However, simultaneous use of two or more agents may provide both effective and cost efficient control of WFT through complimentary predation and/or parasitism. The general goal of our project was to evaluate whether suppression of WFT could be enhanced by inundative or inoculative releases of Orius predators with either predatory mites or entomopathogenic nematodes. Whether pest suppression is best when single or multiple biological control agents are used, is an issue of importance to the practice of biological control. For our investigations in Texas, we used Orius insidiosus(Say), the predatory mite, Amblyseius degeneransBerlese, and the predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii(Athias-Henriot). In Israel, the research focused on Orius laevigatus (Fieber) and the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema felpiae. Our specific objectives were to: (1) quantify the spatial distribution and population growth of WFT and WFT natural enemies on greenhouse roses (Texas) and peppers (Israel), (2) assess interspecific interactions among WFT natural enemies, (3) measure WFT population suppression resulting from single or multiple species releases. Revisions to our project after the first year were: (1) use of A. swirskiiin place of A. degeneransfor the majority of our predatory mite and Orius studies, (2) use of S. felpiaein place of Thripinema nicklewoodi for all of the nematode and Orius studies. We utilized laboratory experiments, greenhouse studies, field trials and mathematical modeling to achieve our objectives. In greenhouse trials, we found that concurrent releases of A.degeneranswith O. insidiosusdid not improve control of F. occidentalis on cut roses over releases of only O. insidiosus. Suppression of WFT by augmentative releases A. swirskiialone was superior to augmentative releases of O. insidiosusalone and similar to concurrent releases of both predator species on cut roses. In laboratory studies, we discovered that O. insidiosusis a generalist predator that ‘switches’ to the most abundant prey and will kill significant numbers of A. swirskiior A. degeneransif WFTbecome relatively less abundant. Our findings indicate that intraguild interactions between Orius and Amblyseius species could hinder suppression of thrips populations and combinations of these natural enemies may not enhance biological control on certain crops. Intraguild interactions between S. felpiaeand O. laevigatus were found to be more complex than those between O. insidiosusand predatory mites. In laboratory studies, we found that S. felpiaecould infect and kill either adult or immature O. laevigatus. Although adult O. laevigatus tended to avoid areas infested by S. felpiaein Petri dish arenas, they did not show preference between healthy WFT and WFT infected with S. felpiaein choice tests. In field cage trials, suppression of WFT on sweet-pepper was similar in treatments with only O. laevigatus or both O. laevigatus and S. felpiae. Distribution and numbers of O. laevigatus on pepper plants also did not differ between cages with or without S. felpiae. Low survivorship of S. felpiaeafter foliar applications to sweet-pepper may explain, in part, the absence of effects in the field trials. Finally, we were interested in how differential predation on different developmental stages of WFT (Orius feeding on WFT nymphs inhabiting foliage and flowers, nematodes that attack prepupae and pupae in the soil) affects community dynamics. To better understand these interactions, we constructed a model based on Lotka-Volterra predator-prey theory and our simulations showed that differential predation, where predators tend to concentrate on one WFT stage contribute to system stability and permanence while predators that tend to mix different WFT stages reduce system stability and permanence.
