Dream of mediterranization: Range expansion of the giant water bug (Lethocerus patruelis) in Europe
Authors: Simoncini Andrea , Tomasi Filippo , Ficetola Gentile Francesco , Lo Parrino Elia 
Published: November 2024

Climate change is causing European temperate climates to shift toward mediterranean conditions, a phenomenon called &lsquo;mediterranization&rsquo;. Mediterranization is altering biological communities, facilitating expansion of species pre-adapted to mediterranean habitats. Colonization by novel species can drastically affect local biodiversity, particularly in freshwater ecosystems. Lethocerus patruelis is a large predatory aquatic insect whose distribution spans from the Balkans to south-eastern Asia. In the last decades, L. patruelis sightings outside its known range have increased, particularly in Italy. The aim of this study was to assess the drivers of this expansion and the potential for future spread.
We collected records of L. patruelis using published literature, citizen-science platforms, and social media. These data were used to test for directional expansion and to compare native and novel niches. Secondly, we used native observations to create a suitability model using MaxEnt, testing it using observations from Italy. Lastly, we projected the model under three future climatic scenarios to assess the potential for future expansions.
We found a significant westward and southward expansion of L. patruelis in Italy. Niche conservatism between native and novel ranges was observed. Nonetheless, we found limited overlap and high level of niche unfilling, suggesting an ongoing colonization process. The suitability model showed good predictive performances, indicating a preference toward mediterranean climates and a selection against agricultural areas. Suitable areas were predicted to increase under all three future climatic scenarios.
This study suggests an ongoing spread of L. patruelis, and a strong expansion potential in Europe due to mediterranization. Future studies are needed to assess the means of this expansion and its consequences on local biodiversity.
Presence of diabetic risk factors within a sample of community members in Windhoek, Namibia
Authors: Delpaul Michelle C. , Vincent-Lambert Craig 
Published: November 2024

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continue to pose a significant challenge to global healthcare systems. In African contexts, diabetes ranks among the top four NCDs. The disease often goes undetected because patients are commonly asymptomatic in the early stages. Screening, early diagnosis and patient education may prolong life and reduce costs associated with managing the disease.Aim: To identify risk factors for diabetes among community members in Windhoek.Setting: Data were gathered during a health-screening outreach programme in Otjomuise, a peri-urban settlement near Windhoek, Namibia.Methods: An observational analytical cross-sectional study design was used, measuring weight, height, abdominal girth, random blood glucose (RBG) levels, lipid counts, and blood pressure in 342 participants. Descriptive analysis determined the percentage of participants with abnormal measurements indicating diabetes risk.Results: Analysis showed that 77% of participants had multiple risk factors for diabetes. Specifically, 67% had elevated RBG levels, 58% had elevated blood pressure, 45% had elevated body mass index, and 26% had raised lipid counts.Conclusion: These findings align with existing literature, which shows a significant portion of community members have undetected risk factors that may predispose them to the development of diabetes. Early detection, targeted interventions and ongoing monitoring for individuals with risk factors can save lives and reduce costs. Larger-scale research is necessary to better quantify the prediabetic population across various African contexts.Contribution: This study highlights the urgent need for early diabetes detection and intervention strategies in diverse African communities.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundAlong electric distribution corridors in urban-exurban landscapes, forest edges are susceptible to damage associated with storm events. Disturbances and management interventions designed to preempt their effects (e.g., tree trimming) alter characteristics of tree structure and morphology (e.g., branch and crown structure), which may be associated with tree failure and likelihood of associated infrastructure damage. This study assessed the relationship between 3-dimensional tree crown structure and tree biomechanics and characterized the effect of utility tree trimming on tree sway dynamics using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS).MethodsIn this study we extracted and analyzed measures of crown structure (i.e., crown asymmetry, crown area, total volume, crown diameter to height ratio, and crown evenness) for individual trees during leaf-off conditions before and after implementation of tree trimming and linked these measures to tree biomechanics data, to evaluate how commonly implemented trimming practices affect both tree sway frequency and displacement—important indicators of tree stability.ResultsResults illustrated the effects of common tree trimming practices on tree crown structure, but there were not consistent changes to tree movement characteristics directly following tree trimming across our 24 study trees. However, we found that the associated changes in crown structure through tree trimming affected tree displacement in moderate wind conditions. Additionally, we found there were no significant differences between frequencies across treatment types.ConclusionsThis pilot project lays the foundation for understanding the intricate relationship between 3-dimensional crown structure and tree biomechanics following roadside tree trimming.
Fashion City

Published: November 2024

Discover the extraordinary stories of the Jewish people who designed, made and sold fashion in twentieth-century London, revealing their vital role in making it an iconic fashion city.
While Jewish people have long been associated with making clothes, the full extent of the contributions they made to London's growing reputation as a global fashion capital and the democratisation of fashion through the development of ready-to-wear clothes in the twentieth century have been widely forgotten. Spanning all sectors of the fashion industry – from homeworking to haute couture – the book draws stories from generations of Jewish Londoners and is richly illustrated with images from across the city and the Museum of London's collections.
Fashion City takes you on a journey across London, from the busy clothing factories of the East End to the swinging boutiques of Carnaby Street and the manicured squares of Mayfair. Along the way it introduces you to the intriguing stories of the key figures behind London fashion, such as Frederick Starke, a boy from the East End whose ability to tell a creative story changed the way the world saw British ready-to-wear fashion; Otto Lucas, a gay Jewish German hat maker who became the most financially successful milliner in the world; Mr Fish, the rule-defying tailor who dressed Mick Jagger and Muhammed Ali; and Netty Spiegel, who escaped the Nazis on the Kindertransport and became a London wedding dress designer of choice under her 'Neymar' label.
Bringing together a wealth of new research and presenting a novel perspective of London fashion, this book gives a voice to the city's overlooked and often forgotten Jewish fashion makers.

REFORMULASI PAJAK ORANG PRIBADI SEBAGAI PEMENUHAN IURAN JAMINAN KESEHATAN NASIONAL DALAM RANGKA MENINGKATKAN EFEKTIFITAS PEMUNGGUTAN PAJAK
Authors: Benita Santy , Ardiansyah Ardiansyah 
Published: November 2024

Penunggakan iuran Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) oleh peserta mandiri merupakan ancaman bagi kebersinambungan program JKN. Untuk itu perlu dicari alternatif metode pendanaan, supaya program JKN yang dikelola oleh Badan Penyelenggaraan Jaminan Sosial Kesehatan (BPJS Kesehatan) dapat berkesinambungan, karena demi kepentingan pembangunan bangsa Indonesia. Merujuk pada Pasal 1 Undang-Undang Nomor 40 Tahun 2004 tentang Sistem Jaminan Sosial Nasional yang mewajibkan setiap warga mendaftar sebagai peserta program JKN. Selama ini wajib pajak yang telah membayar pajak penghasilan, merasa tidak mendapatkan imbalan langsung dari negara, karena kewajiban membayar pajak di Indonesia memang tidak ada imbalan langsung. Seharusnya pemerintah mulai memikirkan cara agar warga yang taat membayar pajak dapat merasakan imbalan langsung dari kewajiban membayar pajaknya, yaitu dengan membebaskan Wajib Pajak Orang Pribadi (WPOP) dari kewajiban membayar iuran BPJS Kesehatan. Penelitian ini membahas bagaimana reformulasi wajib pajak orang pribadi sebagai pemenuhan iuran JKN dalam rangka meningkatkan efektivitas pemungutan pajak. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan data sekunder berupa peraturan perundang-undangan dan metode Library Research yang bersifat eksploratif dan berfokus pada kaidah hukum pajak dan hukum JKN. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa pengaturan pendanaan JKN saat ini dalam menjamin keberlangsungan program BPJS Kesehatan, sebagai kewajiban negara menyelenggarakan jaminan sosial bidang kesehatan sesuai amanat Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia 1945 Pasal 34 Ayat (2), dapat berasal dari pemungutan pajak, dapat mengacu pada pasal 23A. Reformulasi pajak orang pribadi sebagai pemenuhan iuran JKN dalam rangka meningkatkan efektivitas pemungutan pajak, perlu dilakukan dengan menetapkan pembayaran pajak oleh WPOP sebagai pemenuhan memperoleh jaminan sosial bidang kesehatan.

INFLUENCE OF DEFECTS FORMATION WAY ON PROPERTIES OF PROTON CONDUCTORS BASED ON LANTHANUM SCANDATE
Authors: Khromushin, I. V. , Aksenova Т. I. 
Published: November 2024

The structure and properties of proton conductors based on LaScO3 synthesized by acceptor doping and the creation of a deficiency in La cation were studied. It has been shown that the number of intercalated protons in the oxide lattice increases with an increase in the degree of cationic doping and is higher when doped with strontium than calcium. It has been noted that in lanthanum scandate samples with cationic non-stoichiometry, the number of intercalated protons decreases with increasing lanthanum deficiency, which is probably due to the possibility of binding oxygen vacancies VO•• to (LaLa''' - VO••)' complexes and blocking their participation in the process of water dissolution. The activation energies of the conductivity of the volume and grain boundaries of lanthanum scandate synthesized by various methods are determined. It was shown that the conductivity and activation energy of conductivity of the volume of grains of samples doped with strontium are higher than when doped with calcium. It is noted that the activation energy of conductivity of samples with cationic non-stoichiometry is practically independent of the lanthanum deficiency.
