Does mating negatively affect female immune defences in insects?
Authors: Oku Keiko , Price Tom A.R. , Wedell Nina 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Immunity is an important mechanism of protection against pathogens and parasites. One factor that can influence immunity is mating. During mating, male-derived materials are transferred to females, and the physical contact also involves the potential risk of sexually transmitted infections, and wounding. Thus, mating can challenge a female’s immune system. This review focuses on exploring how immunity and mating interact in female insects. Although mating has been shown to cause female immune responses in several species, the responses do not always match the observed resistance to pathogens/parasites. Mating up-regulates female immune responses while female resistance is reduced compared to virgin females in some species, and vice versa in other taxa. We discuss why mismatches occur and why post-mating female resistance differs among species, and suggest that measured immune responses may not correlate with female resistance. Also, the mating system will play a major role. Polyandrous mating systems can generate intense post-mating sexual conflict, which can impose high costs of mating on females. Reduced female post-mating resistance may be due to direct suppression of female immunity by males. Alternatively, polyandry may increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections. If this is the major factor driving female post-mating resistance, females of polyandrous species should have higher post-mating immunity. To date, there are insufficient numbers of studies to fully answer the question ‘does mating negatively affect female immune defences in insects?’ To elucidate the links between immunity and mating in females, we need more studies in more species with varied mating systems.
Obligations of ‘Due Regard’ in the Exclusive Economic Zone: Their Context, Purpose and State Practice
Authors: Fife Rolf Einar 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The exclusive rights of the coastal state over the natural resources in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) coexist with the high seas freedoms of communication of other states. This particular coexistence of state competences is a distinguishing feature of the 200-mile zones. Articles 56(2) and 58(3) United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) require that coastal states have ‘due regard’ to the rights, freedoms and duties of other states in the zone, and vice versa. It is suggested that the two provisions are not ‘dormant’. State practice indicates the contrary, as well as future paths for clarification. The obligation to have ‘due regard’ constitutes a linchpin in the conceptual underpinnings of the EEZ, and requires an interpretation of the concrete provisions that are applicable, in keeping with the Convention’s nature as a strategic ‘package deal’ with a particular bearing on international peace and security.
The Limitations on Military Activities by Third States in the EEZ Resulting from Environmental Law
Authors: Ricard Pascale 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
In the EEZ, the supposed freedom of states to conduct military activities encounters the rights and duties of coastal states regarding conservation of marine resources and environmental preservation. This article focuses on the relationship between these two specific but not always compatible interests and asks: how should they be combined? Could international environmental law rules be interpreted as a limitation to the conduct of military activities in the EEZ? What are the concrete obligations of states to fulfil their environmental duties, and how far are they compatible with the conduct of other activities? The ‘due diligence’ obligation to protect the marine environment is interpreted as going further than the ‘due regard’ standard enshrined in Articles 56 and 58 of the LOSC. Accordingly, this article assumes that it is a positive obligation, implying specific consequences, such as the conduct of environmental impact assessments when the activity risks causing damage.
The Legal Nature and Content of ‘Due Regard’ Obligations in Recent International Case Law
Authors: Forteau Mathias 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The obligations of due regard under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) share many characteristics with other similar standards. Their object and purpose is to ensure conciliation between conflicting concurrent or overlapping elements, in particular rights belonging to different States. This is the reason why, in procedural terms, the said obligations generally entail a duty to cooperate, to strike the most appropriate balance between the divergent rights or obligations at stake. Recent case-law confirms these general features and sheds more light on the nature and content of the obligations of due regard under both general international law and Articles 56(2) and 58(3) of the LOSC.
Emergency Arbitrator Procedure in Investment Treaty Disputes: To Be or Not To Be
Authors: Chung Kyongwha 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The emergency arbitrator is a person appointed to grant emergency relief pending the constitution of an arbitral tribunal. Numerous arbitral institutions started to introduce the emergency arbitrator procedure in order to provide a more effective system for the protection and preservation of parties’ rights. However, the ICSID Convention and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, which are the most common dispute resolution rules used in investment treaties, do not recognize the emergency arbitrator procedure. By contrast, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) allows the application of its emergency arbitrator rules in investment treaty disputes. In fact, there have been seven recent cases in which investors used the SCC Rules to seek emergency relief. This article evaluates introducing the emergency arbitrator procedure in investment treaty disputes. It discusses possible objections by States and concludes that the procedure is not inconsistent with the features of investment treaty disputes.

Abstract
The contribution of heterogeneous ice nucleation to the formation of cirrus cloud ice crystals is still not well quantified. This results in large uncertainties when predicting cirrus radiative effects and their role in Earth’s climate system. The goal of this case study is to simulate the composition, and thus activation conditions, of ice nucleating particles (INPs) to evaluate their contribution to heterogeneous cirrus ice formation in relation to homogeneous ice nucleation. For this, the regional model COSMO—Aerosols and Reactive Trace Gases (COSMO-ART) was used to simulate a synoptic cirrus cloud over Texas on 13 April 2011. The simulated INP composition was then compared to measured ice residual particle (IRP) composition from the actual event obtained during the NASA Midlatitude Airborne Cirrus Properties Experiment (MACPEX) aircraft campaign. These IRP measurements indicated that the dominance of heterogeneous ice nucleation was mainly driven by mineral dust with contributions from a variety of other particle types. Applying realistic activation thresholds and concentrations of airborne transported mineral dust and biomass-burning particles, the model implementing the heterogeneous ice nucleation parameterization scheme of Ullrich et al. is able to reproduce the overall dominating ice formation mechanism in contrast to the model simulation with the scheme of Phillips et al. However, the model showed flaws in reproducing the IRP composition.
A Practical Approach to Developing Climate Change Scenarios for Water Quality Models
Authors: Gelda Rakesh K. , Mukundan Rajith , Owens Emmet M. , Abatzoglou John T. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Climate model output is often downscaled to grids of moderately high spatial resolution (~4–6-km grid cells). Such projections have been used in numerous hydrological impact assessment studies at watershed scales. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to assess the impact of climate change on the hydrodynamics and water quality in lakes and reservoirs. A potential barrier to such assessments is the need for meteorological variables at subdaily time scales that are downscaled to in situ observations to which lake and reservoir water quality models have been calibrated and validated. In this study, we describe a generalizable procedure that utilizes gridded downscaled data; applies a secondary bias-correction procedure using equidistance quantile mapping to map projections to station-based observations; and implements temporal disaggregation models to generate point-scale hourly air and dewpoint temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation for use in water quality models. The proposed approach is demonstrated for six locations within New York State: four within watersheds of the New York City water supply system and two at nearby National Weather Service stations. Disaggregation models developed using observations reproduced hourly data well at all locations, with Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency greater than 0.9 for air temperature and dewpoint, 0.4–0.6 for wind speed, and 0.7–0.9 for solar radiation.
Novel Data Assimilation Algorithm for Nearshore Bathymetry

Published: February 2019

AbstractIt can be expensive and difficult to collect direct bathymetry data for nearshore regions, especially in high-energy locations where there are temporally and spatially varying bathymetric features like sandbars. As a result, there has been increasing interest in remote assessment techniques for estimating bathymetry. Recent efforts have combined Kalman filter–based techniques with indirect video-based observations for bathymetry inversion. Here, we estimate nearshore bathymetry by utilizing observed wave celerity and wave height, which are related to bathymetry through phase-averaged wave dynamics. We present a modified compressed-state Kalman filter (CSKF) method, a fast and scalable Kalman filter method for linear and nonlinear problems with large numbers of unknowns and measurements, and apply it to two nearshore bathymetry estimation problems. To illustrate the robustness and accuracy of our method, we compare its performance with that of two ensemble-based approaches on twin bathymetry estimation problems with profiles based on surveys taken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, North Carolina. We first consider an estimation problem for a temporally constant bathymetry profile. Then we estimate bathymetry as it evolves in time. Our results indicate that the CSKF method is more accurate and robust than the ensemble-based methods with the same computational cost. The superior performance is due to the optimal low-rank representation of the covariance matrices.
Valuing recovery-oriented practice at the interface between mental health services and communities: The role of organisational characteristics and environments
Authors: Bauer Annette , Evans-Lacko Sara , Knapp Martin 
Published: February 2019

Background: Implementing recovery-oriented mental health services is a policy priority in many countries. In addition, some governments have prioritised new forms of organising, financing and governing the provision of mental health services with a stronger focus on co-delivery and involving communities. Most research in the recovery field has focused on interventions. There is limited knowledge about the role of organisational characteristics and environments in which people experience recovery. Aim: To understand the organisational characteristics of initiatives that implement recovery-oriented practice at the interface between mental health services and communities, as well as the mechanisms they employ to alter the conditions in which they operate. Method: Semi-structured interviews and a focus group workshop with managers of five initiatives in England that implemented recovery-oriented practice at the interface between mental health services and communities. Results: Our cross-sector initiatives shared a range of characteristics and employed mechanisms that created favourable conditions for recovery-oriented practice: strong social value and process (rather than performance) orientation; participatory approaches and shared decision-making; flat hierarchies; creating and seizing business opportunities; utilising networking and (social) marketing opportunities; risk-taking; valuing and supporting all members of their organisations; entrepreneurial and value-driven leadership. Conclusion: Recovery-oriented practice takes place in certain organisational environments that importantly influence an individual’s recovery. Our research highlights the need to consider organisational characteristics when evaluating recovery interventions as well as a broader shift of research towards understanding the environments in which people experience recovery as members of society, and how those can be altered.

Gastric banding clip in the urinary bladder
Authors: Tung Joshua Yi Min , Sim Peng Yong , Tung Kean Hin 
Published: February 2019

Background and aim: A wide variety of foreign bodies have been found in the urinary bladder, most often due to self-introduction and autoerotism, or iatrogenically introduced during surgery in the anatomic region. We report the first case of a gastric banding clip found in the urinary bladder. Case presentation: We describe the case of a 33-year-old Chinese female who had previously undergone gastric banding and subsequent removal of the band. She presented with lower urinary tract symptoms which followed a diurnal pattern, and investigations revealed a portion of a gastric banding clip in the urinary bladder. There was no sign of perforation or erosion of the bladder. The clip was surgically removed and the patient recovered without complications. Discussion and conclusion: This is the first reported case of an intraperitoneal gastric banding clip migrating extraperitoneally into the urinary bladder. The use of the urinary bladder to expel foreign bodies has been documented in other vertebrates, and the mechanism by which this occurs without perforation or erosion of the urinary bladder warrants further investigation.
Biomarqueurs de L’inflammation et Dépression du Post-Partum: Une Revue Systématique De la Littérature
Authors: Lambert Mathilde , Gressier Florence 
Published: February 2019

Objectif : La Dépression du Post-Partum (DPP) affecte plus de 15% des nouvelles mères. Son étiologie est plurifactorielle et encore partiellement méconnue. Certaines hypothèses posent l’idée d’un lien avec l’inflammation. L’objectif de cette revue est d’explorer l’existence de biomarqueurs de l’inflammation associés à la DPP. Puis sera discutée la possibilité de compléments thérapeutiques éventuels, en lien avec ces biomarqueurs. Méthode : La revue systématique de la littérature a été réalisée à partir de PubMed, PsycInfo et Embase. Vingt-cinq articles ont été inclus. Différents biomarqueurs ont été identifiés. Les plus étudiés sont la C-Réactive Protéine (CRP), les Interleukines 6 et 10, le Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha et l’Interferon Gamma. Résultats : Alors que peu de résultats apparaissent comme significatifs aux différents temps, le dosage de certains biomarqueurs de l’inflammation, notamment la CRP, en toute fin de grossesse ou juste après l’accouchement pourrait être une piste de recherche intéressante avec une orientation prédictive de la DPP. Les interactions entre inflammation et axe corticotrope peuvent expliquer la survenue de la DPP. Des phénomènes épigénétiques pourraient conduire à un état pro-inflammatoire. Plusieurs thérapeutiques offrent des pistes intéressantes grâce à leur propriété anti-inflammatoire. Conclusions : Davantage d’études sont nécessaires afin d’évaluer l’intérêt de ces biomarqueurs comme facteur prédictif de la DPP et d’envisager des traitements complémentaires à l’antidépresseur. Si cet intérêt était confirmé, le dosage de marqueur de l’inflammation, notamment la CRP, pourrait aider au dépistage précoce des femmes à risque de DPP, parallèlement à la clinique. Une supplémentation en Zinc pourrait alors être proposée.
Exploration des liens entre la communication de labels employeurs dans les annonces de recrutement, le mode de gouvernance et l’attractivité des organisations aux yeux des candidats

Published: February 2019

Résumé Afin d’attirer les talents, de plus en plus d’entreprises cherchent à obtenir des labels employeurs. Cette étude expérimentale examine si les liens entre la communication de labels ( Great Place to Work et/ou Ecologique) dans les annonces de recrutement et l’attractivité des organisations aux yeux des candidats sont 1) modérés par le mode de gouvernance de l’organisation (coopérative vs cotée en bourse) et 2) médiatisés par leurs perceptions du prestige de l’organisation et de leur adéquation personne-organisation. L’étude menée auprès de 320 répondants montre que, quel que soit le mode de gouvernance, la communication du label Great Place to Work améliore l’attractivité de l’organisation aux yeux des candidats, via leurs perceptions plus élevées du prestige de cette dernière et de leur adéquation avec elle. Parmi les entreprises cotées en bourse, celles qui communiquent un label Great Place to Work sont perçues comme plus attractives que celles qui affichent un label Ecologique.
Prevalence of Having Advance Directives and a Signed Power of Attorney in Nova Scotia
Authors: Digout Christian , Lawson Beverley , MacKenzie Adrian , Burge Fred 
Published: February 2019

Background: Advance directives are statements that allow a person to express his or her wishes for medical treatment in advance of needing it or to appoint someone else if they are unable to do so. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of decedents having a documented advance directive (AD) and a signed enduring power of attorney (SPoA) and to determine the degrees to which characteristics of decedents and their informant and the care the decedent received were predictive of the decedents having a documented AD and a SPoA. Methods: A population-based mortality follow-back survey was conducted in Nova Scotia, Canada. Informants who were knowledgeable of a decedents’ death were invited to participate in a telephone interview based on the After-Death Bereaved Family Member Interview. Regression analyses were used to assess factors that were predictive of having an AD or SPoA. Results: Overall, 56.3% of decedents had a documented AD, and 67.6% had an SPoA. Significant predictors of a decedent having a documented AD were their age, where they received the majority of their end-of-life care, whether they received specialized palliative care, whether they were aware they were dying, and the informant’s age. Significant factors in predicting whether a person had a SPoA were whether the decedent received specialized palliative care, where they received the majority of their care, and the age and education level of their informant. Conclusion: These results may be used to better target and tailor future efforts to promote use of AD and SPoA.
