Diminishing returns as a function of the association between within-individual average performance and variance
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Madison Guy , Melin Bo
Published: September 2020

It has been demonstrated that the worst performance rule (WPR) effect can occur as a result of statistical dependencies in the data. Here, we examine whether this might also be the case for Spearman’s law of diminishing returns (SLODR). Two proposed SLODR criteria are the skewness of the estimated latent ability factor and the correlation between this latent ability and within-individual residual variance. Using four publicly available datasets, covering quite different dimensions of behavior, we show that both these criteria are affected by the correlation between within-individual average performance and variance on the test scores. However, the influence of this correlation on the two criteria goes in opposite directions, which suggests that it generally might be difficult to get results that unambiguously support SLODR.
Looking the same, but remembering differently: Preserved eye-movement synchrony with age during movie-watching
Authors: Davis Emily , Chemnitz Emily , Collins Tyler K. , Geerligs Linda , Campbell Karen L.
Published: September 2020

Naturalistic stimuli (e.g., movies) provide the opportunity to study lifelike experiences in the lab. While young adults respond to these stimuli in a highly synchronized manner (as indexed by intersubject correlations [ISC] in their neural activity), older adults respond more idiosyncratically. Here, we examine whether eye movement synchrony (eye-ISC) also declines with age during movie-watching and whether it relates to memory for the movie. Our results show no age-related decline in eye-ISC, suggesting that age differences in neural ISC are not caused by differences in viewing patterns. Both age groups recalled the same number of episodic details from the movie, however, older adults recalled more semantic and false information. In both age groups, more recall of false information related to lower eye-ISC. Finally, older adults showed better cued-recall than younger adults across event boundaries, suggesting that older adults may form broader associations across events when encoding everyday experiences.
Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and Suicide: Conceptual and Practical Considerations
Authors: Rajkumar Ravi Philip
Published: September 2020

The global pandemic of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had an adverse impact on the mental health of millions. Historical data shows that large-scale disease outbreaks are associated with elevated rates of suicide in both the short and the long term. There are certain distinctive features of the COVID-19 outbreak, from a biological as well as a psychological and social perspective, that make it likely that it will be associated with a significant increase in suicidality which may persist even after a certain degree of control has been achieved over the spread of infection. In this article, relevant historical and current literature pertaining to the association between COVID-19 and suicide are summarized and analyzed, and recommendations for preventive measures are outlined.
SPECTRAL ALGORITHM FOR CONTENT-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL
Authors: A. Al-Jubouri Hanan , M. Mahmmod Sawsan
Published: September 2020

Colour images are rich in visual information. The process of searching for the most similar images in large-scale database based on visual features of query image is still a challenge in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) due to a semantic gap issue. In this paper, we proposed a fusing retrieval method to diminish the gap between high-level and low-level meanings by involving two aspects. The first aspect is increasing the effectiveness of image representation. Hence, data-level fusion features were suggested, a local feature from Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Local Binary Patterns (LBP) in frequency and spatial domains respectively that was applied by a spectral clustering algorithm (graph-based) in addition to a global weighted LBP feature. The second aspect is fusing multiple retrieved similarity measures (scores/evidences) obtained from above global (LBP) and local features (DCTLBP) in terms of score-level fusion. The method is evaluated in WANG standard publically dataset.
The W-shaped model of professional competencies for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its relevance to honors programs
Authors: Jones Beata , Pilot Albert , Van Eijl Pierre , Lappia Josephine
Published: September 2020

As the world is undergoing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), the fusing of physical, digital, and biological worlds with the new technologies, we experience a profound impact of this revolution on the labor markets and subsequent career planning of students. The new economic reality created by 4IR calls for immediate action in the world of higher education. The purpose of this paper is to advocate for new key competencies that university students will need to thrive in the new economy. These competencies include human literacy, digital fluency, hyper-learning, and systems and design thinking. Together, they are presented as the ‘W- shaped 4IR Competency Model’. This model combines previously published opinions about the topic from various educational futurists who have tackled the issue. This paper includes a call to action for universities to address the skills gap challenge of college graduates and rethink their value propositions. As honors programs are the breeding ground for innovation, universities might consider starting to test the robot-proof, twenty-first-century curricula with the smaller honors cohorts and then consider the curricular transfer to the mainstream educational programs. We urge honors educators and administrators around the world to adopt curricula that will make their graduates ‘robot-proof’ and able to thrive in the new economy for decades to come.
Estimation of Nutrient Load from Aquaculture Farms in Manila Bay, Philippines
Authors: Montojo Ulysses , Baldoza Bernajocele Jalyn , Perelonia Karl Bryan , Cambia Flordeliza , Garcia Lilian
Published: September 2020

Waste from aquaculture is considered as one of the possible causes of water quality deterioration in Manila Bay. Aquaculture in the area accounts for almost 30% of the total production in the Philippines. This high production entails intensified application of inputs that could possibly contribute to the nutrient (nitrogen, N and phosphorus, P) load in the bay. Thus, estimation of the N, P and SO4 loaded from aquaculture farms is necessary to develop more responsive intervention to reduce nutrient load in Manila Bay. Water samples were collected throughout the rearing period from different aquaculture systems in Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, and Bataan. The annual estimated N and P loaded from aquaculture farms were 12, 696.66 MT and 2, 363.01 MT, respectively. Fish pens/cages recorded the highest contribution accounting for 88% N and 86% P of the total load. It can be attributed to the direct release of uneaten feeds into the bodies of water. Roughly, 12% N and 14% P were obtained from the fishponds. Furthermore, the annual SO4 loaded from fishponds was estimated at 36,917.54 MT. Results of the study suggested that there should be an extensive monitoring of the environmental impacts and annual load of aquaculture farms for the sustainable regulations and management of aquaculture activities to reduce nutrient load and improve the aquaculture production as well. Finally, strict compliance to the regulatory guidelines and ordinances must be imposed to achieve the effluent quality standards.
Estimation of Post-Harvest Losses of Fish Transported Using Ice-chilled Carrier Boats from High Seas Pocket 1

Published: September 2020

Access of Philippine traditional fresh/ice-chilled seining vessels to High Seas Pocket 1 (HSP-1) lessens fishing pressures in the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone where juvenile oceanic tunas are more likely to be found. However, catch landed by carrier boats from HSP-1 were observed to be of reduced quality, thus eliciting lower market value. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of icechilled carrier boats by generating data on the magnitude of post-harvest losses incurred in landed catch from HSP-1. Exploratory Fish Loss Assessment Method and Questionnaire Loss Assessment Method were used to estimate quality losses. Landed catch of ice-chilled carrier boats from HSP-1 recorded an estimated loss of 17.25%. Key players incurred an estimated financial loss amounting to PHP 223 million (USD 4.3 million). Low quality catch commonly sold as raw materials for canning, smoking, and fishmeal processing entail cheaper prices, thus regarded as losses. A positive correlation was established between fishing duration and losses. Results indicate that the current preservation technique in carrier boats could induce quality deterioration in fish given the long distances and transit times involved. Thus, the use of carrier boats with freezing system should be allowed in HSP-1 to sufficiently preserve the quality of the catch. This will reduce losses in post-harvest fisheries, thereby increasing the potential income of HSP-1 players.
COVID and the Era of Emergencies
Authors: Celermajer Danielle , Nassar Dalia
Published: September 2020

The threat of emergency measures introduced in face of COVID-19 has largely been framed in terms of individual rights. We argue that it is not the protection of the sovereign individual that is most at stake, but the relations between political subjects and the institutions that enable their robust political participation. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s analysis of the ways in which isolation and the incapacity to discern truth or reality condition totalitarianism and are exacerbated by it, we argue that the dangers for the evacuation of democratic politics are stark in our era. We consider contemporary political action in concert in Germany to illustrate this critique of COVID-19 emergency measures. Drawing on the legal concept of “appropriateness,” we explicate how the German critical response to the shutdown is founded on a concern for democratic principles and institutions, and aims to achieve two crucial goals: governmental transparency and social-political solidarity.
COVID Revolution
Authors: Dean Jodi
Published: September 2020

Revolution only occurs when people are willing to die for it. The last few days of May 2020 showed that thousands of people were willing to risk their lives in the struggle against the racist capitalist system. Rage at four hundred years of oppression, exploitation, and denigration, at the systemic murder of black, brown, and indigenous people, and at wanton, visible, and permissible police violence could no longer be contained. Between the virus and the economy, there was nothing left to lose.
Babies and Boomers
Authors: Rollo Toby
Published: September 2020

The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how public health decisions in mass liberal democracies always reflect a political tradeoff between protecting privileged groups and leaving more marginalized groups precariously exposed. Examining the “political epidemiology” of COVID-19, I focus on the ways that the lives and well-being of children are sacrificed to secure adult interests. I argue that in our efforts to protect older adults we have endangered children and abandoned the future of today’s youth. This, I conclude, is indicative of a liberal preoccupation with adults and adult forms of agency, a defect that can only be adequately challenged by working toward more robust forms of democratic inclusion that include children and youth.
Gender, Leadership and Representative Democracy
Authors: Rubenstein Kim , Bergin Trish , Rowe Pia
Published: September 2020

That effective leadership is crucial during global emergencies is uncontested. However what that leadership looks like, and how it plays out in different contexts is less straightforward. In representative democracy, diversity is considered to be a key element for true representation of the society. In addition, previous research has unequivocally demonstrated the positive impacts of gender equality in leadership. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare some of the real world implications of gender inequalities in the leadership context. In this article, we examine the differential impacts of COVID-19 on women, and reflect on potential pathways for women’s active participation.
European Democracy after COVID-19
Authors: Guérot Ulrike , Hunklinger Michael
Published: September 2020

In the past 70 years, situations that featured a lack of solidarity were always followed by the communitization of structures in the European Union. This contribution reflects on possible consequences of the COVID-19 crisis for the European Union. Even though the initial response from the EU looked unpromising and was driven at the nation-state level, the crisis may lead to new forms of solidarity through communitization. We argue that the EU needs equality for all EU citizens as well as institutionalized solidarity in order to finally become a real European democracy.
Dokonywanie czynności procesowych przed sądem kościelnym jako okoliczność wyłączająca odpowiedzialność za naruszenie dóbr osobistych. Glosa do wyroku Sądu Apelacyjnego w Białymstoku z dnia 12 stycznia 2017 r., I ACa 676/16
Authors: Misztal-Konecka Joanna Teresa
Published: September 2020

Glosa omawia wyrok Sądu Apelacyjnego w Białymstoku, w którym sąd ten uznał działanie w ramach czynności stron procesu przed sądem kościelnym za okoliczność wyłączającą odpowiedzialność za naruszenie dóbr osobistych osoby fizycznej. Według autorki glosy na aprobatę zasługuje zarówno stanowisko co do dopuszczalności drogi sądowej przed sądami państwowymi w sprawach o ochronę dóbr osobistych naruszonych przed sądem kościelnym, jak też pogląd, iż ochrona dóbr osobistych nie przysługuje w przypadku zaistnienia okoliczności wyłączających bezprawność naruszenia takiego dobra. Działanie przed sądem kościelnym, którego funkcjonowanie aprobowane jest w ustawodawstwie państwowym, mieści się w grupie przypadków działania w ramach porządku prawnego. Kwalifikacja działania w ramach przysługujących stronie praw procesowych, zarówno w przypadku działań przed sądem państwowym, jak i sądem kościelnym, wymaga stwierdzenia, że działania te są oparte na istniejącym prawie podmiotu do działania, działaniu w granicach kompetencji zakreślonych przez porządek prawny, przytaczaniu okoliczności prawdziwych (lub co do których istnieją uzasadnione podstawy do uznawania ich za prawdziwe) w sposób oględny i w zakresie niezbędnym dla realizacji własnego prawa.

Authors: Martanti Fitria
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Planting of character education must be carried out continuously. The characters that have been planted in school must be strengthened in college. The planting of character education must be taught, familiarized, trained consistently, become character and become a culture, so that the planting of education is not only in school, but must be strengthened into a culture in college. Strengthening the character in college should be more endeavored to make students who are faithful, pious, noble, moral, ethical and civilized based on the nation's noble values of religion, Pancasila, the Constitution of 1945 and the culture of moderating Islamic values. The noble values of the nation from religion and the culture of Islamic values of moderation can be seen from the Aswaja teachings that can be embedded in the teachings that can strengthen character education in universities. This research is a qualitative research conducted at Wahid Hasyim University, Semarang, which is one of the universities that base Aswaja as a foundation for strengthening character education. The source of the data is obtained from primary and secondary data. Data collection method is done by interview, documentation and observation, while data analysis method uses descriptive analysis method. The results of the study show that the concept of aswaja teaching at Wahid Hasyim University is used as the foundation that underlies all activities carried out on campus, both matters relating to aqidah, worship/sharia, and morals. As for strengthening character education through Aswaja teachings, it was carried out by making Aswaja Center which regulates activities related to Aswaja. The implementation of the Aswaja teachings is carried out through habituation, guidance and consultation related to religious practices. Aswaja's teachings are also integrated in courses according to each faculty.

Abstract

Multiculturalism is the cultural diversity of communities within a given society and the policies that promote this diversity. As a descriptive term, multiculturalism is the simple fact of cultural diversity and the demographic make-up of a specific place, sometimes at the organizational leve. As a prescriptive term, multiculturalism encourages ideologies and policies that promote this diversity or its institutionalization. In this sense, multiculturalism is a society “at ease with the rich tapestry of human life and the desire amongst people to express their own identity in the manner they see fit. This paper discusses multicultural ideologies or policies vary widely, ranging from the advocacy of equal respect to the various cultures in a society, to a policy of promoting the maintenance of cultural diversity, to policies in which people of various ethnic and religious groups are addressed by the authorities as defined by the group they belong to.

Pluralism, diversity and multiculturalism is a daily fact of life in Indonesia. There are over 300 ethnic groups in Indonesia. The Javanese is the largest ethnic group in Indonesia who make up nearly 42% of the total population. The Sundanese, Malay, and Madurese are the next largest groups in the country. There are also more than 700 living languages spoken in Indonesia and although predominantly Muslim the country also has large Christian and Hindu populations. This paper also uncloses the model of Islamic Moderation in Indonesia societies in the light of Various Cultures and Relegion.

A Note on Different Types of Probabilities of Misclassification
Authors: Clement Adeyeye Awogbemi
Published: September 2020

Whenever a discriminant function is constructed, the attention of a researcher is often focused on classification. The underlined interest is how well does a discriminant function perform in classifying future observations correctly. In order to assess the performance of any classification rule, probabilities of misclassification of a discriminant function serves as a basis for the procedure. Different forms of probabilities of misclassification and their associated properties were considered in this study. The misclassification probabilities were defined in terms of probability density functions (pdf) and classification regions. Apparent probability of misclassification is expressed as the proportion of observations in the initial sample which are misclassified by the sample discriminant function. Different methods of estimating probabilities of misclassification were related to each other using their individual shortcomings. The status of degrees of uncertainties associated with probabilities of misclassification and their implications were also specified.

Published: September 2020

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to review literature on music and biomarkers of stress in order to (1) Identify music interventions and (2) Detail the biomarkers of stress associated with music. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed in performing this systematic review. Studies published from January 1995 to January 2020 that pertain to biomarkers of stress and music were identified through the use of the PubMed database, using the keywords: ‘music’ AND ‘biomarker’ OR ‘marker’ OR ‘hormone’. Two authors independently conducted a focused analysis and reached a final consensus on 16 studies that met the specific selection criteria and passed the study quality checks. Results: The reviewed studies were all randomized controlled trials. Reviewed music interventions included Music Listening (ML), Meditational Music (MM), ‘Guided Imagery and Music’ (GIM), and Singing. The studies showed that music is associated with a decreasing trend in cortisol, salivary α-amylase, heart rate, and blood pressure, as well as an increasing trend in Immunoglobulin A (IgA), oxytocin, and EEG theta wave, while testosterone was associated with sex-related differences. Conclusion: Music is associated with significant changes in biomarkers of stress, suggesting that it could be utilized for the development of stress reduction tools.

GÊNERO NA ESCOLA: uma realidade a ser problematizada
Authors: Araújo Luciene , Da Silva Márcia Rejane Ferreira
Published: September 2020

Problematizar gênero na escola configura-se como uma discussão que desnuda a desconstrução de rótulos e estigmas relacionados à sexualidade. Posto isto, enfocamos as relações vividas no ambiente escolar e o papel da escola na (re)produção destes rótulos. Investigamos, a partir da observação sistemática em uma escola de ensino fundamental da cidade de Mossoró-RN, situações do cotidiano escolar, bem como relatos de algumas(ns) estudantes da referida escola, a fim de apreender as expressões de desigualdade de gênero naturalizadas desde a infância. Concluímos, então, afirmando que o gênero não se remete tão somente a sexualidade, mas também ao reconhecimento que ambos os sexos são iguais na garantia dos direitos, no reconhecimento e respeito a identidade de gênero do outro.
Inwentarze bibliotek zakonnych w białoruskich zbiorach archiwalnych i bibliotecznych w Mińsku

Rozproszone księgozbiory zakonne z okresu I Rzeczypospolitej znajdują się przede wszystkim w instytucjach rosyjskich, ale też (choć w mniejszym stopniu) na Białorusi i Ukrainie. Do upadku państwa w 1795 r. na wschodnich ziemiach Rzeczypospolitej funkcjonowało około 750 placówek zakonnych, a w granicach współczesnej Białorusi, aż do całkowitej ich likwidacji w XIX w., blisko 240 klasztorów z ponad 20 zakonów. Autorka przedstawia inwentarze i katalogi biblioteczne kilkudziesięciu bibliotek zakonnych z guberni mińskiej i Wilna, które obecnie znajdują się w kolekcjach bibliotek, muzeów i archiwów w Mińsku, Grodnie, Połocku i Witebsku.
Pierwszy opis powstania zakonu jezuitów w języku polskim

Published: September 2020

Towarzystwo Jezusowe powołane do życia w 1540 r. w Rzymie przez papieża Pawła III z czasem rozszerzyło swoją działalność intelektualną na inne kraje. Na zaproszenie biskupów z Braniewa jezuici osiedlili się także na ziemiach polskich (1565). Autor artykułu prowadzi poszukiwania pierwszego opisu historii powstania jezuitów w języku polskim. Swoje badania koncentruje na pracach Mikołaja Łęczyckiego, który uchodzi na pierwszego Polaka analizującego dzieje wspólnoty jezuickiej, jednak w języku łacińskim. Natomiast analiza przeprowadzona w publikacjach jezuity Jakuba Wujka wykazuje, że w jego Dialysis. To iest Rozwiązanie albo rozebranie Asserciy… (1580) został zawarty pierwszy opis powstania Towarzystwa Jezusowego w języku polskim. Praca ta przyczyniła się do upowszechnienia w języku narodowym podstawowych informacji o wspólnocie jezuitów w Rzeczypospolitej.

Optimal Techno-economic Sequence-based Set of Diagnostic Tests for Distribution Transformers Using Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Hashemi-Dezaki Hamed , Rubanenko Oleksandr , Hryshchuk Maksym , Rubanenko Olena
Published: September 2020

The diagnostic measurement and tests of transformers are essential. Also, the costs of diagnostic tests are considerable. Hence, proposing a method to determine an economic-technical sequence-bases set of diagnostic tests for transformers is useful and interesting. In this paper, a new method is proposed to determine the optimal sequence-based set of diagnostic tests for distribution transformers. A new objective function based on the branch and bound concept is developed in this paper. The proposed optimization problem is solved by using the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The statistical data regarding the experimental diagnostic tests for more than 20 distribution transformers of South-West Power System Company (Pivdenno-Zakhidna Power System) located in Ukraine have been used. The usage of the actual statistical data of distribution transformers is one of the most important contributions of this paper. The comparison of the obtained optimum test results and those of a typical conventional non-optimum sequence of diagnostic tests illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. By applying the proposed method, it is achievable to perform the comprehensive diagnostic tests with the minimum required costs.

Este artigo foi elaborado para conclusão do curso de Especialização em Educação Intercultural no Pensamento Decolonial desenvolvido no Instituto Federal de Educação do campus Floresta, estado de Pernambuco. Teve como objetivo caracterizar a prática pedagógica dos (as) professores(as) Xukuru e relacioná-la com elementos da educação escolar em uma perspectiva Decolonial. Para isso utilizamos os conceitos de Colonialismo, Colonialidade e Decolonialidade (QUIJANO, 2005 e WALSH, 2008; MIGNOLO, 2008) e prática pedagógica (FREIRE, 1996). Para coleta dos dados utilizamos a observação participante, entrevistas e pesquisa documental, para análise dos dados utilizamos as técnicas da análise de conteúdo (MINAYO, 2012). Nossos dados nos fizeram concluir que embora a Educação escolar do povo Xukuru apresente elementos da prática pedagógica que caracteriza uma educação colonial, muitos são os elementos que evidenciam a perspectiva Decolonial
Percepção de Êxito dos beneficiários dos programas de microcrédito da AMCRED, Programa Gaúcho de Microcrédito do BANRISUL, Banco Comunidade do BNB e DESENBAHIA

O microcrédito é percebido como um instrumento robusto para promover o desenvolvimento econômico e social de uma economia e, o Programa Nacional de Microcrédito Produtivo Orientado – PNMPO existe a mais de dez anos com esse propósito. Ainda não se tem avaliações conclusivas e definitivas a cerca do papel dessa política pública. Não se sabe, por exemplo, qual é a percepção de êxito e nem a articulação com outras políticas públicas dos beneficiários desse programa. Assim, esse trabalho, busca analisar a efetividade dessa política e a sua integração mediante a percepção dos beneficiários de quatro programas de microcrédito, a saber: AMCRED, Programa Gaúcho de Microcrédito do Banrisul, Banco Comunidade do BNB e Desenbahia. Com base em um questionário aplicado a mais de dois mil beneficiários e o uso de um modelo logit de probabilidade, conclui-se que mais de 80% dos entrevistados responderam ter alcançado seus objetivos com o microcrédito, indistintamente entre as regiões brasileiras e que a política também tem sido eficaz na articulação com outras políticas públicas.

A Heuristic Algorithm for solving Integer Linear Programming Problem and Unveiling the Applications
Authors: Dhar Abir Sutra , Das HK
Published: September 2020

There is a growing need for integer solutions in industries, production units, etc. Specifically, there is an increasing demand to develop precise methods for solving integer-programming problems (IPPs). In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for solving IPPs in a general form by combining two decomposition techniques: Benders decomposition (BD) and decomposition-based pricing methods (DBP). Moreover, we generate some conditions for solving problems having either infeasible or unbounded solutions. In addition, we present an application and evaluation of a solution method for solving IPPs, while also giving a brief description of the different classical decomposition methods, namely the Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition (DWD), decomposition-based pricing (DBP), Benders decomposition (BD), and recently proposed improved decomposition (ID) methods for solving IPPs.We also discuss the use of the decomposition methods for solving IPPS to develop a heuristic algorithm, describe the limitations of the classical algorithms, and present extensions enabling its application to a broader range of problems. To illustrate the decomposition procedures, we will provide corresponding models and numerical results for two standard mathematical programs: the Fixed Charge Problem (FCP) and the Facility Location Problem (FLP). Our findings from this study suggest that our algorithm produces the most efficient computational solutions of IPPs.

High hydrostatic pressure effects on arginine vasotocin levels in fish
Authors: Rodríguez-Illamola A , Míguez JM , Coimbra J , Wilson JM
Published: September 2020

The present study investigates the response of the hormone arginine vasotocin (AVT), the non-mammalian antidiuretic hormone, to the acclimation of fish to high hydrostatic pressure (5.1 MPa). Two fish species with different osmoregulatory strategies, the lesser spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula, a marine osmoconforming chondrichthyan species adapted for migration to deep waters, and the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, a pressure-sensitive freshwater species, were selected for study. Fish were exposed to hydrostatic pressures of either 0.1 (control) or 5.1 MPa in hydrostatic chambers for up to 2 wk at their appropriate salinities. Plasma cortisol was measured in trout, and plasma chloride, sodium and potassium were measured in both fish species. A transient high level of plasma AVT was found in dogfish and in trout after 1 and 3 d of exposure to high hydrostatic pressure, which returned to basal levels by 14 d of exposure. In contrast, pituitary AVT content was reduced after short-term exposure in dogfish, while in trout, lower expression was found in high pressure than in control conditions, independently of exposure time. In dogfish, pituitary AVT levels recovered by 14 d under high hydrostatic pressure. No changes in plasma cortisol (trout) or ions (both species) were observed. These initial increases of the AVT release from the pituitary during fish acclimation to high pressure suggest that it works as a physiological short-term response to reduce water loss and equilibrate ion osmotic balance.
Contribution of large bacteria to bacterial biomass in a deep freshwater lake (Lake Biwa, Japan)
Authors: Shen S , Shimizu Y
Published: September 2020

Despite the importance of bacterial cell volume in microbial ecology in aquatic environments, literature regarding the effects of seasonal and spatial variations on bacterial cell volume remains scarce. We used transmission electron microscopy to examine seasonal and spatial variations in bacterial cell size for 18 mo in 2 layers (epilimnion 0.5 m and hypolimnion 60 m) of Lake Biwa, Japan, a large and deep freshwater lake. During the stratified period, we found that the bacterial cell volume in the hypolimnion ranged from 0.017 to 0.12 µm3 (median), whereas that in the epilimnion was less variable (0.016 to 0.033 µm3, median) and much lower than that in the hypolimnion. Additionally, in the hypolimnion, cell volume during the stratified period was greater than that during the mixing period (up to 5.7-fold). These differences in cell volume resulted in comparable bacterial biomass in the hypolimnion and epilimnion, despite the fact that there was lower bacterial abundance in the hypolimnion than in the epilimnion. We also found that the biomass of larger bacteria, which are not likely to be grazed by heterotrophic nanoflagellates, increased in the hypolimnion during the stratified period. Our data suggest that estimation of carbon flux (e.g. bacterial productivity) needs to be interpreted cautiously when cell volume is used as a constant parametric value. In deep freshwater lakes, a difference in cell volume with seasonal and spatial variation may largely affect estimations.

Zinc (Zn) is an important trace element in fish diets that is required for growth, immunity and antioxidant defense mechanisms. The current study assessed the effects of both organic and nanoparticle zinc oxide (ZnO and ZnO-NPs, respectively) on growth performance, immune response and the antimicrobial effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in African catfish Clarias gariepinus. Fish were fed either a control diet or diets supplemented with organic ZnO at concentrations of 20 and 30 mg kg-1 or ZnO-NPs at concentrations of 20 and 30 mg kg-1. After 60 d, a subset of the fish was injected intraperitoneally with 3 × 107 CFU ml-1 of P. aeruginosa. Results showed that body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and specific growth rates were significantly increased in ZnO-NPs20 compared to all other groups. The dietary supplementation with 20 mg kg-1 of ZnO-NPs improved the antioxidant status of fish. Moreover, IgM, lysozyme and nitric oxide showed a significant increase in the fish which received the ZnO-NPs20-supplemented diet. A significant upregulation of growth and stress-related genes was seen in the ZnO-NPs20-supplemented group compared to other groups. However, there was no significant difference in the expression of immune-related genes among ZnO-NPs20, ZnO-NPs30 and ZnO30 groups. These findings highlight the potential use of nano-ZnO for improving growth performance, antioxidant status, immunological status and antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa in African catfish.
Striving to Rollback or Protect Roe: State Legislation and the Trump-era Politics of Abortion
Authors: Wilson Joshua
Published: September 2020

This paper provides an overview of the interrelated changes in party politics, perceptions of political opportunities, and the content of state abortion regulations. It concludes that although the frequency of state abortion laws has only modestly increased, the substantive shifts in recent policies create the potential to fundamentally reorganize state and national abortion politics.
Where’s the Party? Explaining Positions on LGBTQ Rights in Europe among Would-be MPs
Authors: Siegel Scott , Turnbull-Dugarte Stuart , Olinger Brian
Published: September 2020

This paper investigates what affects the views of parliamentary candidates on gay rights, independent of public opinion. Because in most parliamentary systems parties select their candidates, we would expect political ideology to play a strong role in shaping their views. However, drawing on rarely used data on the views and background of thousands of individual parliamentary candidates from countries across Europe and their policy preferences on the issue of same-sex marriage, our results show that political ideology and partisanship do not tell the whole story. Empirically, we demonstrate that parliamentary candidates’ positions on same-sex marriage are determined more by their religious beliefs and other socio-demographic characteristics than by political ideology, even within parties traditional supportive of progressive social values. This study contributes to better understanding how LGBTQ policy change happens in Europe by examining the preferences of the people mainly responsible for it.
