(Dis)ability-informed mentors support occupational performance for college students with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders through problem-solving and a focus on strengths

Introduction Students with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are well represented on college campuses. However, they experience challenges to meeting occupational and role expectations associated with being in college. Mentors serve as natural supports for young people within college environments. This study investigates the ways in which graduate-student mentors, who were supported in understanding learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and their mentee’s strengths and challenges through an occupational lens, provided problem-solving supports for undergraduate mentees with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Methods Thematic qualitative analysis was used to investigate problem-solving supports provided by mentors (n = 57) of undergraduate mentees (n = 52) with learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Results Three themes, executive functioning, adult life skills, and academics, represent areas in which mentors worked with mentees in guiding and co-creating strategies to address academic, social, and daily life challenges. Mentors’ understanding of their mentees’ disability-related challenges and strengths within everyday life situations was important for fostering the occupational performance of mentees. Conclusion The inclusion of biopsychosocial approaches is needed in the development of disability-related mentorship interventions where occupational therapists can leverage disciplinary understanding of disabilities and the fostering of occupational performance to support social functioning and participation in college.
Soil-Biodegradable Plastic Mulches Undergo Minimal in-Soil Degradation in a Perennial Raspberry System after 18 Months

Soil-biodegradable plastic mulches (BDMs) are made from biodegradable materials that can be bio-based, synthetic, or a blend of these two types of polymers, which are designed to degrade in soil through microbial activities. The purpose of BDMs is to reduce agricultural plastic waste by replacing polyethylene (PE) mulch, which is not biodegradable. Most studies have evaluated the breakdown of BDMs within annual production systems, but knowledge of BDM breakdown in perennial systems is limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the deterioration and degradation of BDMs in a commercial red raspberry (Rubus ideaus L.) production system. Deterioration was low (≤11% percent soil exposure; PSE) for all mulches until October 2017 (five months after transplanting, MAT). By March 2018 (10 MAT), deterioration reached 91% for BDMs but remained low for PE mulch (4%). Mechanical strength also was lower for BDMs than PE mulch. In a soil burial test in the raspberry field, 91% of the BDM area remained after 18 months. In-soil BDM degradation was minimal, although the PSE was high. Since mulch is only applied once in a perennial crop production system, and the lifespan of the planting may be three or more years, it is worth exploring the long-term degradation of BDMs in perennial cropping systems across diverse environments.

Climate change, the politics of anticipation and future riskscapes in Africa

The authors review two conceptual frameworks of risk management and apply them to the context of climate change in Africa, based on case studies in Côte d′Ivoire and Ethiopia. Politics of anticipation refers to a type of policy-making that uses scientific forecasts to manage future risks. Riskscapes, by contrast, are temporalspatial phenomena, which highlight perception, discourse and practice in relation to multiple risks and uncertainties. In view of the heterogeneity of the African continent, the article cautions against an uncritical use of anticipatory politics and argues for expanding the understanding of complex riskscapes in relation to the future.
Automated Assessment in Programming Courses: A Case Study during the COVID-19 Era

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed in many countries, in the short term, the interruption of face-to-face teaching activities and, in the medium term, the existence of a ‘new normal’, in which teaching methods should be able to switch from face-to-face to remote overnight. However, this flexibility can pose a great difficulty, especially in the assessment of practical courses with a high student–teacher ratio, in which the assessment tools or methods used in face-to-face learning are not ready to be adopted within a fully online environment. This article presents a case study describing the transformation of the assessment method of a programming course in higher education to a fully online format during the COVID-19 pandemic, by means of an automated student-centered assessment tool. To evaluate the new assessment method, we studied students’ interactions with the tool, as well as students’ perceptions, which were measured with two different surveys: one for the programming assignments and one for the final exam. The results show that the students’ perceptions of the assessment tool were highly positive: if using the tool had been optional, the majority of them would have chosen to use it without a doubt, and they would like other courses to involve a tool like the one presented in this article. A discussion about the use of this tool in subsequent years in the same and related courses is also presented, analyzing the sustainability of this new assessment method.

KOMIK ONLINE SEBAGAI MEDIA PENYULUHAN AGAMA HINDU BAGI GENERASI MILENIAL

Hindu religious counselors in providing Hindu religious education to millennials require a new and unique strategy to deal with the dynamics of the times. Comic media, such as @bogbogbalicartoon and @pinsianart as a means of counseling Hinduism, can turn out to be a tool in socializing Hindu teachings because they are expected to be able to convey information effectively and efficiently. Comics are tools that have the function of conveying a message. As a media, messages conveyed through comics are usually clear, coherent, and fun. For this reason, comic media has the potential to become a source of learning. In this case, learning comics play a role as a tool to convey learning messages. Comics are a form of visual communication media that has the power to convey information in a popular and easy to understand way. This is possible because comics combine the power of images and writing, which are assembled in a storyline making images more easily absorbed. The text makes it more understandable, and the flow makes it easier to follow and remember. Keyword: Online Comics, Media for Extension of Hinduism, Millennial Generation

Risk-Intolerant but Risk-Taking—Towards a Better Understanding of Inconsistent Survey Responses of the Euro Area Households

The sustainable development of the EU internal market for retail financial services is based on the rules of ‘suitability’, ‘know your client’, and ‘know your product’. The rules ensure that financial institutions (including banks) offer retail clients only products and services that are adequate to their purposes and preferences, including risk tolerance. Our study, however, concerns households for which the above rules are not valid, since they declare risk aversion and possess risky assets. According to the European Union Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and Regulation (MiFID II and MiFIR), the inconsistent information they provide within survey questions should classify them to more compound suitability assessment procedures. In the study, we use nationally representative data for 16 euro area countries from the second wave of the Eurosystem Household Finance and Consumption Survey. Using logit regression, we identify sets of socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics conducive to the possession of risky assets by risk-averse households in individual countries. To assess their similarity, we use the hierarchical taxonomic method with Ward’s formula. The results of the study showed that risky assets were primarily possessed by risk-averse households that were characterised by high income, including from self-employment, and reference persons having a university degree and at least 55 years of age. The significance of their other characteristics was mainly shaped at the national level. The clear similarity of sets of the characteristics was confirmed only for a few pairs of countries. The information inconsistency that may result from erroneous self-assessments of being risk-averse was recognised in all countries and most often concerned high-income households with reference persons being males with a university degree. In 11 countries, the reason for this inconsistency could also be the inadequacy of assets held, also among senior households. The results provide insights for practitioners and policy. Identification of households providing inconsistent information to financial institutions, with the recognition of its reasons based on easily verifiable characteristics, may prove helpful in suitability assessments. The results confirming the similarity of household profiles requiring special attention between countries may be useful for entities operating cross-border. Due to the collection of information on risk aversion based on the single question self-classification method, conclusions regarding the restrictions of its use should also be considered relevant. In turn, policy implications may relate to consumer protection, since significant fractions of risk-averse households indeed participate in risky assets. Moreover, in selected countries, the risk-averse senior households were recognised as susceptible to making wrong investment decisions.
What matters in public perception and awareness of air quality? Quantitative assessment using internet search volume data

Recently, the issue of air quality in South Korea reached an unprecedented level of social concern regarding public health, quality of life, and environmental policies, even as the level of particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM10) showed a decreasing trend. Why have social concerns emerged in recent years, specifically after 2013–2014? This study aims to understand how people perceive air quality apart from the measured levels of airborne pollutants using internet search volume data from Google and NAVER. An empirical model that simulates the air quality perception index (AQPI) is developed by employing the decay theory of forgetting and is trained by PM10, visibility, and internet search volume data. The results show that the memory decay exponent and the accumulation of past memory traces, which represent the weighted sum of past perceived air quality, play key roles in explaining the public’s perception of air quality. A severe haze event with an extremely long duration that occurred in the year 2013–2014 increased public awareness of air quality, acting as a turning point. Before the turning point, AQPI is more influenced by sensory information (visibility) due to the low awareness level, but after the turning point it is more influenced by PM10 and people slowly forget about air quality. The retrospective AQPI analysis under a low level of awareness confirms that perceived air quality is indeed worst in the year 2013–2014. Our results provide a better understanding of public perception of air quality, and will contribute to the creation of more effective regulatory policies. It should be noted, however, that the proposed model is primarily meant to diagnose historic public perception and that more sophisticated models are needed to reliably predict perception of air quality.
Comparative analysis of neutrophil and monocyte epigenomes

Neutrophils and monocytes provide a first line of defense against infections as part of the innate immune system. Here we report the integrated analysis of transcriptomic and epigenetic landscapes for circulating monocytes and neutrophils with the aim to enable downstream interpretation and functional validation of key regulatory elements in health and disease. We collected RNA-seq data, ChIP-seq of six histone modifications and of DNA methylation by bisulfite sequencing at base pair resolution from up to 6 individuals per cell type. Chromatin segmentation analyses suggested that monocytes have a higher number of cell-specific enhancer regions (4-fold) compared to neutrophils. This highly plastic epigenome is likely indicative of the greater differentiation potential of monocytes into macrophages, dendritic cells and osteoclasts. In contrast, most of the neutrophil-specific features tend to be characterized by repressed chromatin, reflective of their status as terminally differentiated cells. Enhancers were the regions where most of differences in DNA methylation between cells were observed, with monocyte-specific enhancers being generally hypomethylated. Monocytes show a substantially higher gene expression levels than neutrophils, in line with epigenomic analysis revealing that gene more active elements in monocytes. Our analyses suggest that the overexpression of c-Myc in monocytes and its binding to monocyte-specific enhancers could be an important contributor to these differences. Altogether, our study provides a comprehensive epigenetic chart of chromatin states in primary human neutrophils and monocytes, thus providing a valuable resource for studying the regulation of the human innate immune system.
Stable Income, Stable Family

We document the effect of unemployment insurance generosity on divorce and fertility using an identification strategy that leverages state-level changes in maximum benefits over time and comparisons across workers who have been laid off and those that have not been laid off. The results indicate that higher maximum benefit levels mitigate the effects of layoffs. In particular, they mitigate increases in divorce associated with men's layoffs; increases in separations associated with women's layoffs; reductions in fertility associated with men's layoffs; and increases in fertility associated with women's layoffs.
Mycorrhiza and fertilization: effect on the production of Pinus engelmannii Carr. in nursery

Introduction: In the nursery, controlled-release fertilization and inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi promote the quality of plant material reproduced in containers. Objective: To evaluate the effect of two commercial mycorrhizal inoculants and one controlled-release fertilizer on the development of Pinus engelmannii Carr. in nursery. Materials and methods: Two commercial inoculants (fungi native to Mexico [1 mL·plant-1 with 1.05 x 107 spores·mL-1] and exotics [1.5 mL·plant-1 with 6.5 x 106 spores·mL-1]), two doses of a controlled-release fertilizer (11-28-11 NPK [3 and 6 g·L-1]) and a control were evaluated; in total, nine treatments were used. The variables analyzed were: survival, stem height, root collar diameter, wet and dry biomass, ratio of dry biomass of the aerial part/dry biomass of the root part, lignification index, Dickson’s quality index and mycorrhizal colonization. Results and discussion: Survival (80 to 96 %) was similar between treatments. Eight months after sowing, seedlings showed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) in morphological variables; combined treatments gave better results. Plants with commercial inoculum of native fungi (1 mL·plant-1 [Amanita rubescens Pers., Amanita sp., Lactarius indigo [Schwein] Fr., Ramaria sp. and Boletus sp.]) and fertilization of 3 g·L-1 had higher Dickson quality index. It was observed that the higher the fertilization dose, the lower the percentage of mycorrhizal colonization. Conclusion: The combination of ectomycorrhizal inoculum of native fungi and low-dose fertilization showed that both components are complementary in the plant development of P. engelmannii.
Capital Structure and Firm Performance in Australian Service Sector Firms: A Panel Data Analysis

Using cross-sectional panel data over eleven years (2009–2019), or 1001 firm-year observations, this study examines the relationship between capital structure and firm performance of service sector firms from Australian stock market. Unlike other studies, in this study directional causalities of all performance measures were used to identify the cause of firm performance. The study finds that long-term debt dominates debt choices of Australian service sector companies. Although the finding is to some extent similar to trends in debt financed operations observed in companies in developed and developing countries, the finding is unexpected because the sectoral and institutional borrowing rules and regulations in Australia are different from those in other parts of the world.
Allacanthochasmus artus and Allacanthochasmus varius (Trematoda: Cryptogonimidae) in Adult White Bass, Morone chrysops, from Lake St. Clair, Michigan, U.S.A.

ABSTRACT: A total of 55 adult white bass, Morone chrysops (Rafinesque, 1820) (Moronidae), collected in May and June 2014 from Anchor Bay, Lake St. Clair, Michigan, U.S.A. , were examined for intestinal helminths. Of those found, 2 trematode species (Allacanthochasmus artus and Allacanthochasmus varius) were of interest due to their high prevalences and intensities. Allacanthochasmus artus infected all white bass with a mean intensity ± SD of 203.5 ± 243.9, and A. varius infected 53 white bass with a mean intensity ± SD of 263.9 ± 202.1 and mean abundance ± SD of 262.8 ± 198.1. Individuals of A. artus and A. varius were primarily found in the anterior and posterior intestine, respectively. Fifty-three white bass were concurrently infected with A. artus and A. varius. Allacanthochasmus artus and A. varius are reported for the first time from white bass in Lake St. Clair, and their mean intensities are the highest reported to date in this fish host from the Great Lakes.
Oceanographic drivers of near-colony seabird foraging site use in tropical marine systems

Wedge-tailed shearwaters of Australia’s southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR), obtain food for their chicks on short-trips adjacent to the breeding colony. GPS tracking (Feb-Apr 2013-14) indicated that most trips were of one-day duration (70-85%) and that all were within 300km of the colony. Oceanographic characteristics of foraging and non-foraging areas were compared to identify mechanisms linked to prey availability. Foraging generally occurred adjacent to the Capricorn shelf, where the largest oceanographic feature in the region, the Capricorn Eddy, creates increased frontal activity and upwellings. Shearwaters consistently revisited four bathymetrically and topographically distinct foraging zones influenced by this mesoscale eddy. In 2013, strong sea-surface temperature (SST) fronts associated with relatively intense eddy activity influenced foraging activity in all foraging zones. In 2014 the dominant oceanographic factors influencing foraging were SST and [Chlorophyll a] or their anomalies, with these influences varying among zones; thus suggesting a weakened effect of the eddy and elevated importance of fine-scale phenomena such as localised upwellings. Foraging in the coastal foraging zone was also significantly influenced by terrestrial inputs. At these times birds foraged in association with freshwater flood plumes and higher [chlorophyll a]. The oceanographic mechanisms underlying prey availability to shearwaters in this system are tightly linked to variations in climatic conditions. Consequently, predictions associated with climate change such as increased ENSO frequency or severity, are likely to seriously diminish the profitability of identified foraging locations and the reproductive output from impacted colonies. Currently, most identified foraging areas are without specific management or protection status.
