Normative Sexual Health Development in Non-Normative Circumstances: Exploring Healthy Intimate Relationships Among Young People in Foster Care

While the sexual health risks among young people of color in foster care have been well-documented, healthy sexual development in this population has been less examined. The current study explored the experiences of Black youth in foster care and the factors that influenced their safer sex practices. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 sexually active Black participants (18–22 years old) in foster care from a large, Midwestern city in the United States. Grounded theory methods were used to (a) construct a conceptual framework illustrating the conditions the youth experienced that influenced their safer sex efforts, and (b) describe different types of intimate relationships that reflected their sexual health practices. Using specific strategies, the majority of the youth overcame obstacles and participated in positive sexual health practices. More than half (59%) reported they were in an intimate relationship for at least 6 months and either abstained from sex, used condoms 100% of the time, or employed safer sex methods. The findings suggest Black youth in state care can engage in positive sexual health practices and form healthy intimate relationships.

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Shrimps Distribution of Commercial Importance in the Gulf of California

The Gulf of California is the most productive fishing region in Mexico; its ecosystems contain a vast diversity of species with exploitation potential, some of them potentially vulnerable to climate change. This research was conducted to analyze, through habitat suitability models, the possible alterations in the distribution of the three shrimp species of the most importance for commercial fishing in the region: Litopenaeus stylirostris, Litopenaeus vannamei, and Farfantepenaeus californiensis. Habitat suitability models were built using the MaxEnt software, primary productivity data, temperature, salinity, bathymetry, substratum, coastal type, and geo-referenced occurrence records of the three species. Of the data, 70% was used on training, while the remaining 30% was used for validation. To make estimates of climate change impact on this fishery, projections on distribution of the three species from environmental forecasts generated by the intergovernmental panel on climate change until 2100 were made. The used model, that is in full development and expansion, could be considered as an applicable tool to other problems and showed efficiency rates above 90%. The species will maintain most of their historical distribution, but L. stylirostris and L. vannamei will have a new distribution area within the zones of the Magdalena-Almejas Bay and the Gulf of Ulloa, with an increase of 80% and 148% respectively; all species will have loss areas in the proportion of 16%, 2%, and 11%, respectively, along the southern Gulf of California.

Growth Performance, Nitrogen Balance and Blood Biochemical Parameters on Feeding TMR Diet Containing Sugarcane Tops Silage Supplemented with Lactic Acid Bacteria Inoculants and Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes in Crossbred Calves

Background: Preservation of green sugarcane tops (SCT) as silage is still challenging due to its low fermentation coefficient. Present study was undertaken to assess the effect of different combination of additives on nutrient utilisation and growth performance in crossbred (Karan fries) heifers fed SCT silage based total mixed diet.Methods: Sugarcane tops (300 g DM/kg fresh matter) ensiled for 30 days in plastic jumbo silo bags (500 kg capacity) in three different treatments viz. SCTB1, SCTB2 and SCTB3 silages. Total mixed ration (TMR) TMRB1, TMRB2 and TMRB3 were prepared, containing 40 part concentrate and 60 part sugarcane tops SCTB1, SCTB2 and SCTB3 silages, respectively. Eighteen crossbred calves of similar body weights (115 kg) and age (11 months) were divided in three group and offered dietary treatments: TMRB1, TMRB2 and TMRB3 for sixty days. Feed intake (daily) and body weight (weekly) was recorded. Blood samples were collected (monthly) for glucose, creatinine, BUN, plasma calcium, ALT and AST levels estimates. Result: On 30th day SCT silage samples were analysed, pH and NDF content was found lower (p less than 0.05) whereas lactic acid content was higher (p less than 0.05) in SCTB2 and SCTB3 than SCTB1 silage. Feed intake, growth performance, nitrogen balance and blood biochemical parameters were remained similar among the groups. Total tract digestibility of NDF and ADF was found higher (p less than 0.05) in groups TMRB2 and TMRB3 than TMRB1. It may be concluded that LAB and EFE supplementation on SCT silage improved fibre digestibility (NDF and ADF) of TMR diet however, feed intake, growth performance and blood parameters were not affected in crossbred calves.
Geological Effects on the Scaling Relationships of Groundwater Contributions in Forested Watersheds

The scaling relationships of groundwater contributions have been examined in previous studies, but whether these findings are site‐specific or applicable to other watersheds remains unclear. Here, we illustrate how scaling relationships differ between watersheds with different geology. We investigated the spatial distributions of the specific discharge (discharge per unit drainage area) and chemical compositions of stream and spring water during baseflow periods in three Cretaceous to Eocene sedimentary watersheds and three Neogene volcanic watersheds in the Ishikari River basin, Japan. End‐member mixing analysis was used to separate stream water into shallow and deep groundwater. The specific discharge of stream water only significantly increased with drainage area for two of the volcanic study sites. Conversely, the ratio of deep groundwater to stream water only significantly increased with drainage area for two of the sedimentary study sites. The specific discharge of deep groundwater increased with area in both volcanic and sedimentary sites, but the specific discharge of shallow groundwater only increased with area for the volcanic sites. These findings indicate that the shallow groundwater flow played a crucial role in making geology‐dependent differences in scaling relationships. The geological effects on shallow groundwater flow were likely characterized by the spatial distribution of highly permeable bedrock layer. This geological control provides a useful framework for generalizing knowledge about the scaling relationships of groundwater contributions.
Long‐term monitoring and evaluation of land development in a reclamation area under rapid urbanization: A case‐study in Qiantang New District, China

Land reclamation has occurred extensively worldwide to accommodate urbanization and economic development, especially in developing countries like China. However, we have a limited understanding of the long‐term dynamics and key drivers of land use/cover change in the reclaimed area. In this study, we monitored the detailed spatiotemporal evolution of land reclamation from 1973 to 2018 in Qiantang New District using time‐series LANDSAT and SENTINEL‐2A images and then compared the differences of landscape changes between reclaimed, which are the new‐built land from Qiantang River, and inland areas. Key findings include: (1) A significant decreasing trend for areas near the Qiantang River along the coastline (212.21 to 80.99 km2) and an increasing trend for constructed land (10.05 to 120.89 km2) from 1973 to 2018 was detected; (2) The development modes of the inland area and reclaimed area were significantly different. Development in the inland area was similar to other Chinese cities, whereas the reclaimed area was relatively complex with two main changing paths; and (3) Year 2008 was an important turning point in the perspective of urbanization in the study area. Before 2008, urbanization was random and uncontrolled. After 2008, new governance on land appeared and changed the landscape into a compact and uniform pattern. The proposed framework should reveal the detailed trajectory of land reclamation in small areas and provide insights and tools for better understanding the impact of human activities on the landscape pattern in coastal regions under rapid urbanization.
Increasing Dietary Amylose Reduces Rate of Starch Digestion and Stimulates Microbial Fermentation in Weaned Pigs

Starch with increasing ratio of amylose to amylopectin decreases ileal starch digestibility in pigs. Microbes in the large intestine ferment undigested starch and produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). The benefits of SCFA in modulating gut health stimulated interest in dietary strategies to increase microbial carbohydrate fermentation and digesta SCFA in pigs and humans. We studied effects of increasing dietary amylose on SCFA and the expression of transporters of glucose (sodium-glucose cotransporter 1, SGLT1) and SCFA (monocarboxylic acid transporter 1, MCT1; sodium-coupled monocarboxylate transporter, SMCT), and sweet taste receptor type 1, member 3 (T1R3) along the intestine of weaned pigs. Weaned pigs (n = 32; 8.4 kg) were allocated to 1 of 4 diets containing 67% purified starch with 0, 20, 35, or 70% amylose in randomized complete blocks. On day 21, 47-day-old pigs were euthanized to collect digesta for SCFA and intestinal tissue for molecular analyses. Ileal starch digestibility was 44% lower and hindgut starch fermentation was 14% greater in pigs fed 70% amylose (P < 0.05). Increasing dietary amylose increased (P < 0.05) acetate and total SCFA in the cecum, butyrate in proximal and mid colon, and propionate and valerate throughout the colon. Increasing dietary amylose downregulated (P < 0.001) SGLT1 and T1R3 in the jejunum and upregulated (P < 0.001) MCT1 in the ileum. Ileal starch digestibility was inversely associated with MCT1 expression in the ileum (R2 = 0.41, P < 0.05). In the cecum, 35% amylose downregulated expressions of MCT1 and SMCT (R2 = 0.64, P < 0.001). Both 35 and 70% amylose regulated SMCT expression down in proximal colon (P < 0.001) but up in mid colon (P < 0.001). Weak associations (R2 = 0.20, P < 0.05) existed between SMCT and butyrate and valerate in mid colon. Increasing dietary amylose in weaned pigs decreased ileal starch digestion and stimulated hindgut starch fermentation thereby increasing digesta total SCFA in cecum and colon. Consequently, expression of SCFA transporters was increased in the ileum supporting the conversion by dietary amylose of the pig from starch digester into starch fermenter.

Geometric Accuracy of 3D Reality Mesh Utilization for BIM-Based Earthwork Quantity Estimation Workflows

Current surveying techniques are typically applied to survey the as-is condition of buildings, brownfield sites and infrastructure prior to design. However, within the past decade, these techniques evolved significantly, and their applications can be enhanced by adopting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for data acquisition, up-to-date software for creating 3D reality mesh, which in turn opens new possibilities for much more efficient construction site surveying and constant updating and process management. In this study the workflows of three UAV-based photogrammetry techniques: Real Time Kinematic (RTK), Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) and Global Positioning System (GPS) based on control points were analyzed, described, and compared to conventional surveying method with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. Tests were performed under realistic conditions in 36 ha quarry in Lithuania. The results of the relationship between ground sample distance (GSD) and the comparison of volume measurements under each technique, including conventional method were analyzed. The deviation of data collected on field vs. generated in reality mesh, including ground control points (GCPs) and check points (CHPs) with different configurations, was investigated. The research provides observations on each workflow in the terms of efficiency and reliability for earthwork quantity estimations and explains processing schemes with advanced commercial software tools.
Between the market and the developmental state – the place and limits of pro-poor ENGO led “waste-preneurship” in South Africa

ABSTRACT Southern Waste geographies have focused on informal waste-picking and the emergence of neoliberal waste regimes as responses to inadequate Household Solid Waste Management (HWSM) – exploring cost-benefit relationships, labour, and market dynamics, respectively. Less understood regarding reconfigurations of waste governance is the role and performance of Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations (ENGOs) that have attempted to improve HSWM and recycling practices through Community-Based Recycling Interventions (CBRIs). Exploring the case of Wildlands Conservation Trust (WCT) “wastepreneur” initiative in rural and peri-urban communities in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, this study sought to critically assess the sustainability and labour dynamics of the intervention, highlighting its response to changing conditions. The project had initial successes in both facilitating and compensating pro-poor peri-urban waste-picking, generated high expectations and positively impacted recycling practices and perceptions in the process. After a point, however, the initiative experienced financial and institutional challenges which precipitated a restructuring of the initiative in line with prevailing recycling market dynamics – of which it had been naïve – and changing government labour funding; fostering a significant downscaling and disappointment on the part of participants. The findings highlight the limitations of CBRIs in hybrid governance contexts and with underdeveloped recycling markets, and the need for analysis that moves beyond critiques of neoliberalism to consider the ongoing role of the developmental state in local urban service provision.
Exploring GPS Observations of Postseismic Deformation Following the 2012 MW7.8 Haida Gwaii and 2013 MW7.5 Craig, Alaska Earthquakes: Implications for Viscoelastic Earth Structure

The Queen Charlotte‐Fairweather Fault (QC‐FF) system off the coast of British Columbia and southeast Alaska is a highly active dextral strike‐slip plate boundary that accommodates ∼50 mm/yr of relative motion between the Pacific and North America plates. Nine MW ≥ 6.7 earthquakes have occurred along the QC‐FF system since 1910, including a MS(G‐R)8.1 event in 1949. Two recent earthquakes, the October 28, 2012 Haida Gwaii (MW7.8) and January 5, 2013 Craig, Alaska (MW7.5) events, produced postseismic transient deformation that was recorded in the motions of 25 nearby continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) stations. Here, we use 5+ yr of cGPS measurements to characterize the underlying mechanisms of postseismic deformation and to constrain the viscosity structure of the upper mantle surrounding the QC‐FF. We construct forward models of viscoelastic deformation driven by coseismic stress changes from these two earthquakes and explore a large set of laterally heterogeneous viscosity structures that incorporate a relatively weak back‐arc domain; we then evaluate each model based on its fit to the postseismic signals in our cGPS data. In determining best‐fit model structures, we additionally incorporate the effects of afterslip following the 2012 event. Our results indicate the occurrence of a combination of temporally decaying afterslip and vigorous viscoelastic relaxation of the mantle asthenosphere. In addition, our best‐fit viscosity structure (transient viscosity of 1.4–2.0 × 1018 Pa s; steady‐state viscosity of 1019 Pa s) is consistent with the range of upper mantle viscosities determined in previous studies of glacial isostatic rebound and postseismic deformation.
Influence of preservative materials on postharvest performance of cut window leaf foliage (Monstera deliciosa).

Cut flowers and foliage occupy an important position in the local and foreign markets. Laboratory trials were carried out to investigate the effect of preservative chemicals on vase life of cut leaves of Monstera deliciosa. Freshly cut leaves of window leaf were put in vases containing 8-hydroxyquinaline sulfate (8-HQS) at 200 and 400 ppm with sucrose 30 g/L, calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) at 500 and 1000 ppm; and gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) at 25 and 50 ppm, in addition control (distilled water). The results can be summarized as follows; the holding solution GA 3 at the rate of 50 ppm was the most efficient treatment in increasing the vase life period (59 days) followed by GA 3 at 25 ppm (51 days). While, using 8-HQS at 400 ppm+30 g/L sucrose gave the lowest vase life period (12 days). The maximum amount of total soluble sugars resulted from GA 3 at the rate of 50 ppm after 6 and 12 days. Also, GA 3 at 50 and 25 ppm gave the highest values of chlorophyll after 6 and 12 days, respectively. A maximum value in change of fresh weight (%) resulted from using distilled water from the beginning of hold in solution after 6, 9 and 12 days. Calcium chloride at 1000 ppm and GA 3 at 50 ppm were the most suitable preservative solutions for improving water uptake (%). Based on our results using GA 3 could increase the vase life of cut leaves of window leaf.
Making online learning more satisfying: the effects of online-learning self-efficacy, social presence and content structure

ABSTRACT This study examines the effects of instructor presence and online learning self-efficacy on learning satisfaction, and how the effect of social presence may depend on content structure. In this study, undergraduate students in Singapore rated their online learning self-efficacy. Then they rated their learning satisfaction after watching each of four video lectures in a 2 (low versus high instructor presence) × 2 (low versus high content structure) repeated measures experiment. Findings show that learning satisfaction is related to instructor presence and online learning self-efficacy and that the effect of instructor presence is stronger for unstructured than for structured content. This study contributes to research on pedagogy and online learning by clarifying when and how instructor presence enhances learning outcomes. Although most kinds of instruction can benefit from higher levels of instructor presence, there is the greatest benefit for unstructured content, where teaching and learning involve a more interpretive process.
