Abstract

Aircraft collisions with birds span the entire history of human aviation, including fatal collisions during some of the first powered human flights. Much effort has been expended to reduce such collisions, but increased knowledge about bird movements and species occurrence could dramatically improve decision support and proactive measures to reduce them. Migratory movements of birds pose a unique, often overlooked, threat to aviation that is particularly difficult for individual airports to monitor and predict the occurrence of birds vary extensively in space and time at the local scales of airport responses.

We use two publicly available datasets, radar data from the US NEXRAD network characterizing migration movements and eBird data collected by citizen scientists to map bird movements and species composition with low human effort expenditures but high temporal and spatial resolution relative to other large‐scale bird survey methods. As a test case, we compare results from weather radar distributions and eBird species composition with detailed bird strike records from three major New York airports.

We show that weather radar‐based estimates of migration intensity can accurately predict the probability of bird strikes, with 80% of the variation in bird strikes across the year explained by the average amount of migratory movements captured on weather radar. We also show that eBird‐based estimates of species occurrence can, using species’ body mass and flocking propensity, accurately predict when most damaging strikes occur.

Synthesis and applications. By better understanding when and where different bird species occur, airports across the world can predict seasonal periods of collision risks with greater temporal and spatial resolution; such predictions include potential to predict when the most severe and damaging strikes may occur. Our results highlight the power of federating datasets with bird movement and distribution data for developing better and more taxonomically and ecologically tuned models of likelihood of strikes occurring and severity of strikes.

Abstract

Agricultural chemicals such as neonicotinoid insecticides are believed to be one important factor responsible for the recent reduction in health of pollinating insects like the western honeybee Apis mellifera. However, effects of neonicotinoids on male (drone) honeybee health remain severely understudied.

We examined for the first time the multidimensional effects of field‐realistic concentrations of two common neonicotinoid insecticides (thiamethoxam and clothianidin) on drone honeybee survival, behaviour and physiology using individuals reared and maintained as adults in the field.

Our data showed that neonicotinoids reduced honeybee drone survival by 51%, increased drifting behaviour to non‐maternal colonies by 100%, delayed flight activities by 3 days and reduced number of living sperm by 28%. However, they did not influence the sperm concentration produced by the drones, the strength of the drone's maternal colonies or the total number of drones produced by those colonies.

Policy implications. Our study demonstrated that neonicotinoids can elicit a diverse array of lethal (survival) and sublethal (behaviour, reproductive physiology) effects on male honeybees Apis mellifera in the field. These findings should be considered by policy makers looking to adopt and implement science‐based, holistic risk assessments to more comprehensively assess effects of chemicals on important ecosystem service providing insects like the honeybee. To date, risk assessment schemes do not specifically address potential effects on male bees.

AbstractEpilepsy is a neurological disorder resulting from abnormal neuronal firing in the brain. Glutamate transporters and the glutamate–glutamine cycle play crucial roles in the development of seizures. In the present study, the correlation of epilepsy with glutamate transporters and enzymes was investigated. Herein, male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups (six animals/group); 35 mg/kg pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) was used to induce a kindling model of epilepsy. Once the kindling model was established, animals were treated for 15 days with either valproic acid (VPA, 350 mg/kg) or ceftriaxone (CEF, 200 mg/kg) in addition to the control group receiving saline. After treatment, electrocorticography (ECoG) was performed to record the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex. The glutamate reuptake time (T80) was also determined in situ using an in vivo voltammetry. The expression levels of glutamate transporters and enzymes in the M1 and CA3 areas of the brain were determined using a real‐time polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). ECoG measurements showed that the mean spike number of the PTZ + VPA and PTZ + CEF groups was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that of the PTZ group. Compared with the PTZ group, VPA or CEF treatment decreased the glutamate reuptake time (T80). The expression levels of EAAC1, GLT‐1, GLAST, glutamine synthetase (GS), and glutaminase were increased in the PTZ group. Treatment with VPA or CEF enhanced the expression levels of GLT‐1, GLAST, EAAC1, and GS, whereas the glutaminase expression level was reduced. The current results suggest that VPA or CEF decreases seizure activity by increasing glutamate reuptake by upregulating GLT‐1 and GLAST expression, implying a possible mechanism for treating epilepsy. Also, we have suggested a novel mechanism for the antiepileptic activity of VPA via decreasing glutaminase expression levels. To our knowledge, this is the first study to measure the glutamate reuptake time in situ during the seizure (i.e., real‐time measurement).
“Addressing White privilege in family therapy: A discourse analysis”
Authors: Cottrell‐Boyce Joe 
Published: August 2021

AbstractFor this qualitative study, four family therapists were interviewed about the significance of White privilege to their therapeutic practice. The interview data were analysed using Foucauldian discourse analysis. The study highlights the relevance of White privilege to systemic family therapy as a historically contextualised social reality, manifested in unequal experiences, outcomes and relationships. Constraints to addressing White privilege are identified in the form of alternative discourses, such as ‘colour blindness’, which problematise the naming of race and contribute to ‘race anxiety’. ‘Talk‐about‐talk‐about‐race’, acknowledging the contradictions and uncertainty inherent to dialogue around race, may help overcome the mutually negating imperatives of these discourses. Acknowledging White privilege requires ‘relational risk‐taking’ (Mason 2018); to neglect this task risks complicity with the maintenance of White privilege, which, “depends for its power on silence” (Berndt 2008: 190).Practitioner points

Naming race and spelling out the possible implications of White privilege can help puncture White normativity and warm the context for further exploration of racial subjectivity.

Making White privilege explicit via appropriate use‐of‐self can help challenge the ‘myth of meritocracy’ which reinforces narratives of individual deficit.

Metacommunication in the form of ‘talk‐about‐talk‐about‐race’ may help practitioners overcome the double‐binds of ‘race‐anxiety’.
Is It ‘Dog Days’ for the Young in the Australian Labour Market?
Authors: Borland Jeff , Coelli Michael 
Published: August 2021

AbstractFrom 2008–2019 there was a substantial deterioration in employment outcomes for the young (aged 15–24 years) in Australia. Their employment/population rate decreased by 4.3 percentage points, whereas for those aged 25 years and above it increased by 1 percentage point. We argue that the major cause was the young being ‘crowded out’ from employment due to an increase in labour market competition. Adjustment to increased competition also meant they were more likely to: be employed part‐time or long‐term unemployed; start their work careers in lower‐quality jobs; and need to compete for jobs through activities such as unpaid internships.

Published: August 2021

AbstractPublic attention to foodquality and safety has been increased significantly. Therefore, appropriate analytical tools are needed to analyze and sense the food quality and safety. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important indicators for the quality and safety of food products. Odor imaging technology based on chemo‐responsive dyes is one of the most promising methods for analysis of food products. This article reviews the sensing and imaging fundamentals of odor imaging technology based on chemo‐responsive dyes. The aim is to give detailed outlines about the theory and principles of using odor imaging technology for VOCs detection, and to focus primarily on its applications in the field of quality and safety evaluation of food products, as well as its future applicability in modern food industries and research. The literatures presented in this review clearly demonstrated that imaging technology based on chemo‐responsive dyes has the exciting effect to inspect such as quality assessment of cereal , wine and vinegar flavored foods , poultry meat, aquatic products, fruits and vegetables, and tea. It has the potential for the rapid, reliable, and inline assessment of food safety and quality by providing odor‐image‐basedmonitoring tool.Practical Application: The literatures presented in this review clearly demonstrated that imaging technology based on chemo‐responsive dyes has the exciting effect to inspect such as quality assessment of cereal , wine and vinegar flavored foods, poultry meat, aquatic products, fruits and vegetables, and tea.
The accumulation of disadvantage: Criminal justice contact, credit, and debt in the transition to adulthood*
Authors: DeMarco Laura M. , Dwyer Rachel E. , Haynie Dana L. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractSocial exclusion of those with criminal justice experience increasingly includes a financial component, but the structure of disadvantage in credit and debt remains unclear. We develop a model of financial disadvantage in debt holding during the transition to adulthood among justice‐involved groups. We study cumulative criminal justice contact and debt holding by age 30 using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The NLSY97 cohort transitioned to adulthood during an era of historically high criminal justice contact, with many experiencing arrests, convictions, and incarceration. We develop a distinct measurement approach to cumulative criminal justice contact by age 30 that captures variation between young adults in the severity of justice encounters in the early life course. We conceptualize financial disadvantage as a lower likelihood of holding debt that facilitates property and attainment investments and a higher likelihood of holding higher cost debts used for consumption or emergencies. We find that those with the most punitive criminal justice contact evidence the most disadvantageous form of debt holding, potentially exacerbating social exclusion. We consider the implications of the accumulation of financial disadvantage for our understanding of criminal justice contact as a life‐course process.

AbstractBackgroundFor advanced nonsquamous non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the mechanisms of resistance to first‐line immunotherapy are not clear. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in combination with agents targeting other pathways may serve as second‐line therapy options. Apatinib (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor) could increase the efficacy of camrelizumab (an ICI agent). The efficacy and safety of this combination regimen as a second‐line therapy for NSCLC patients after failure on first‐line immunotherapy has not previously been evaluated.MethodsIn this single‐arm, multicenter, phase II trial, metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC patients previously treated with single‐agent ICI or ICI plus chemotherapy will be enrolled. Participants will receive intravenous camrelizumab 200 mg D1 and oral apatinib 250 mg D1‐21 for a 21‐day cycle. The study treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint is progression‐free survival by investigator. Secondary endpoints are overall survival, objective response rate, disease control rate, duration of response by investigator, quality of life, safety, and toxicity.ConclusionsThis trial will provide evidence of the benefit of treatment with camrelizumab combined with apatinib in advanced nonsquamous NSCLC patients who were previously treated with first‐line immunotherapy.

AbstractBackgroundThe risk of cancer treatment‐related acute exacerbation (AE) in patients with lung cancer and mild interstitial lung disease (ILD) on imaging, classified as indeterminate for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), has not previously been clarified.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 27 patients with lung cancer and ILD who were diagnosed and treated from April 2016 to March 2021.ResultsAmong the 27 patients, 21 were classified as indeterminate for UIP and six as UIP/probable UIP; furthermore, 10 (46.6%) and three (50%) patients from each group, respectively, developed treatment‐related AEs. No significant difference was observed regarding the incidence of AEs between the two groups. However, significantly more patients in the AE group received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) compared to the non‐AE group (p = 0.021). Multivariate analysis revealed that the use of ICIs was a significant independent risk factor for treatment‐related AEs.ConclusionsLung cancer patients with mild ILD suggestive of indeterminate for UIP and UIP patterns are at an increased risk for treatment‐related AEs. Furthermore, ICI use is an independent risk factor for AEs in patients with lung cancer complicated by ILD, and ICIs should be used with great caution.
Does short‐selling affect mutual fund shareholdings? Evidence from China
Authors: Liu Xufeng , Wan Die 
Published: August 2021

AbstractTaking the gradual lifting of short‐sale bans in China as natural experiments, the paper shows that mutual funds reduce the number of shares in shortable stocks compared to short‐selling forbidden stocks after short‐selling reforms, and their selling is more intensive in stocks with higher valuation, larger market value, higher profitability, more media coverage or better corporate governance. These strategies are not just short‐term reactions, nor are they applied by other institutional investors. Short‐sellers process negative information to dampen overvaluation or spread pessimistic beliefs which undervalue high quality, so mutual funds’ negative reaction towards short‐selling is stronger among overvalued or high‐quality stocks.
Stillbirth risks and rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their babies in North Queensland
Authors: Kilcullen Meegan , Kandasamy Yogavijayan , Watson David , Cadet‐James Yvonne 
Published: August 2021

BackgroundThe stillbirth rate for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants remains higher than non‐Indigenous rates. Risks for stillbirth include maternal factors such as ethnicity, age, geographic location, and physical health. Fetal risk factors include gestational age, birthweight and congenital anomalies. The total stillbirth rate for all babies born at the Townsville University Hospital during the study period was 11 per 1000 births.AimsTo identify Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stillbirth rates, risk factors and causes in North Queensland.Materials and MethodsA retrospective chart audit was conducted to identify Indigenous women who had experienced stillbirth in the Townsville University Hospital between January 2005 and December 2014.ResultsThirty‐two charts were available for audit. The stillbirth rate for non‐Indigenous infants was 10.3 per 1000 births. The stillbirth rate for Indigenous infants was 11.7 per 1000 births. Almost half of the women lived in rural, remote or very remote areas. Maternal risk factors included poorer physical health, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking, fertility issues and lack of antenatal care. Fetal risk factors included congenital anomalies, including cardiac and skeletal abnormalities, placental disorders, and preterm birth.ConclusionsStillbirth risk remains higher for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their babies. Supporting women to enhance their health is paramount, particularly during pregnancy. Further, increasing awareness of stillbirth risk factors through education for both women and healthcare professionals will support culturally responsive care for women and their families to mitigate stillbirth risk and enhance pregnancy outcomes in non‐urban Queensland.
Pliable Prejudice: The Case of Welfare
Authors: Goren Paul 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe conventional wisdom maintains that whites’ racial predispositions are exogenous to their views of welfare. Against this position, scattered studies report that prejudice moves in response to new information about policies and groups. Likewise, theories of mediated intergroup contact propose that when individuals encounter messages about racial outgroups, their levels of prejudice may wax or wane. In conjunction, these lines of work suggest that whites update their global views of blacks based on how they feel about people on welfare. The current article tests this “prejudice revision” hypothesis with data from “welfare mother” vignettes embedded on national surveys administered in 1991, 2014, and 2015 and ANES panel data from the 1990s. The results indicate that views of welfare recipients systematically affect racial stereotypes, racial resentment, individualistic explanations for racial inequality, and structural explanations for racial inequality. Prejudice, in short, is endogenous to welfare attitudes.

AbstractAimThis study examined trends in absolute and relative socio‐economic, gender and geographical inequalities in the coverage of polio immunisation in Guinea, West Africa, from 1999 to 2016.MethodsData from the 1999, 2005 and 2012 Guinea Demographic and Health Survey and the 2016 Guinea Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey were analysed using the World Health Organization's health equity assessment toolkit. We disaggregated polio immunisation coverage using five equity stratifiers: household economic status, maternal educational level, place of residence, child's gender and region. The four summary measures used were the difference, ratio, population attributable risk and population attributable fraction. A 95% confidence interval (CI) was constructed around point estimates to measure statistical significance.ResultsA total of 4778 1‐year‐old children were included. Polio immunisation coverage in 1999, 2005, 2012 and 2016 were 43.4%, 50.7%, 51.2% and 38.6%, respectively. Socio‐economic and geographical inequalities in polio immunisation favoured children with educated mothers who came from richer families living in urban areas. There were also differences in the eight regions over the 1999–2016 study period.ConclusionTargeting children from disadvantaged subgroups must be prioritised to ensure equitable immunisation services that help to eradicate polio in Guinea.

Background and PurposeAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients exhibit dysfunctional energy metabolism and weight loss, which is negatively correlated with survival, together with neuroinflammation. However, the possible contribution of neuroinflammation to deregulations of feeding behaviour in ALS has not been studied in detail. We here investigated if microglial KCa3.1 is linked to hypothalamic neuroinflammation and affects feeding behaviours in ALS mouse models.Experimental ApproachhSOD1G93A and TDP43A315T mice were treated daily with 120 mg·kg−1 of TRAM‐34 or vehicle by intraperitoneal injection from the presymptomatic until the disease onset phase. Body weight and food intake were measured weekly. The later by weighing food provided minus that left in the cage. RT‐PCR and immunofluorescence analysis were used to characterize microglia phenotype and the main populations of melanocortin neurons in the hypothalamus of hSOD1G93A and age‐matched non‐tg mice. The cannabinoid–opioid interactions in feeding behaviour of hSOD1G93A mice were studied using an inverse agonist and an antagonist of the cannabinoid receptor CB1 (rimonabant) and μ‐opioid receptors (naloxone), respectively.Key ResultsWe found that treatment of hSOD1G93A mice with the KCa3.1 inhibitor TRAM‐34 (i), attenuates the pro‐inflammatory phenotype of hypothalamic microglia, (ii) increases food intake and promotes weight gain, (iii) increases the number of healthy pro‐opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and (iv), changes the expression of cannabinoid receptors involved in energy homeostasis.Conclusion and ImplicationsUsing ALS mouse models, we describe defects in the hypothalamic melanocortin system that affect appetite control. These results reveal a new regulatory role for KCa3.1 to counteract weight loss in ALS.
