Abstract
Three fish blood flukes (Aporocotylidae Odhner, 1912) infect mullets (Mugiliformes: Mugilidae): Cardicola mugilis Yamaguti, 1970 and Plethorchis acanthus Martin, 1975 infect striped mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 in the Central Pacific Ocean (Hawaiian Islands) and Brisbane River (Australia), respectively; Cardicola brasiliensis Knoff & Amato, 1992 infects Lebranche mullet, Mugil liza Valenciennes, 1836 from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (Brazil). White mullets were cast-netted from the mouth of Deer River, a coastal saltmarsh of Mobile Bay, in the north-central Gulf of Mexico and examined for blood fluke infections. Specimens of Mugilitrema labowskiae Warren & Bullard n. gen., n. sp. were found infecting the endocardial surface and inter-trabecular spaces of the atrium, ventricle, and bulbous arteriosus. The new genus and species differ from all other aporocotylids by having the combination of two post-caecal testes, a uterus with straight ascending and descending portions, and a common genital pore. The 28S analysis recovered the new species and P.acanthus as sister taxa and Aporocotylidae as monophyletic. Carditis associated with intense infections comprised endocardial hyperplasia, resulting in a thickened cardiac endothelium. Probable dead or deteriorating eggs in the myocardium were encapsulated by granulomas composed of epithelioid histiocytes. Live eggs infected the afferent artery of gill filaments and were associated with varied hyperplasia of the overlying epithelium and haemorrhaging from the afferent artery in high-intensity infections. The new species is the first aporocotylid infecting a mullet from the northwestern Atlantic Ocean and only the second description of demonstrable endocarditis attributed to an adult fish blood fluke infection.

Abstract
Rhabdias are lung-dwelling parasites of anurans and some reptiles. Currently, 93 species are known to exist worldwide. The identification of Rhabdias species is based mainly on morphological traits of hermaphroditic females that generally have a very conserved morphology. However, different approaches, such as the combination of morphological, molecular, and ecological data, have provided advances in identifying and delimiting rhabdiasid species. Here, we describe a new species of Rhabdias from the south of Brazil, with morphological and molecular data. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by having an elongated body, evident cephalic dilation, larger buccal capsule, and large esophagus. In addition to morphological characteristics, we observed significant genetic divergence among the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence of the new species and the closest available sequence, Rhabdias fuelleborni (10.24%–10.87%). Furthermore, phylogenetic reconstructions based on the COI gene indicated that the new species represents a different lineage, constituting an outgroup of the species complexes Rhabdias cf. stenocephala and Rhabdias fuelleborni with Rhabdias sp. 4. Thus, Rhabdias megacephala is the 24th nominal species of the Neotropical region, the 14th Brazilian, and the fourth species described from south of Brazil.
Which client is worthy of using discretion? Analysing storytelling practices of Dutch street-level bureaucrats in inter-departmental settings

Abstract
Multiple welfare states are re-emphasising the need for street-level bureaucrats’ (SLBs) discretion to stimulate responsive service provision. However, little is known about how SLBs with diverse backgrounds in inter-departmental settings deliberate what it means to use discretion well when different rules, eligibility criteria, and interpretations apply to a client. We address this gap by investigating the stories that participants of a Dutch policy experiment told each other to justify which clients should be granted a flexible interpretation of entitlement categories amid scarcity. We found that ‘caretakers’ used the ‘victim of circumstances’ and ‘good citizen’ plot-type to convince ‘service providers’ that the use of discretion was the right thing to do, whereas the latter used the ‘not needy enough’ or ‘the irresponsible citizen’ plot-type for contestation. Our analysis shows that storytelling helped SLBs to make sense of and bring cohesion to complex situations. Moreover, the analysis shows how stories can have a strong emotional appeal and create a sense of urgency to act collectively, yet can also create divisions and opposition among SLBs. As such, storytelling influences how SLBs think and feel about the client, themselves, and each other, and influences how discretion is used at the front-line of public policy.
An intersectional feminist analysis of compulsory income management in Australia

Abstract
Globally, women experience poverty at disproportionate rates to men, with the situation being worse for Indigenous women and women of colour. Social security systems are one avenue for income redistribution that can alleviate poverty. However, such systems are themselves embedded within and produced by unequal social relations, meaning they can also serve to perpetuate and exacerbate social inequalities. This is exemplified under neoliberal welfare reforms, which have disproportionate negative impacts for women across the world (e.g. increased poverty and stigma, reduced health/wellbeing, and more). Again, this is particularly the case for Indigenous women and women of colour.
In this article, we offer an intersectional feminist analysis of an intensive form of neoliberal welfare conditionality, Australia’s ‘compulsory income management’ program (CIM). CIM quarantines social security incomes onto cashless bank cards to restrict expenditure to ‘approved’ items. Drawing on interviews and surveys with 170 individuals who have personally experienced CIM, we show that it has myriad negative impacts that are especially borne by (Indigenous) women. These are not, we argue, unintended policy impacts, but are instead symptomatic of the gendered and racialised violence that is woven into patriarchal capitalism more broadly. Thus, the experience of CIM holds lessons for welfare states internationally.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
El Sistema and Sistema-inspired programmes have become increasingly popular community music education and social welfare initiatives that aim to benefit socially and economically disadvantaged youth. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly disrupted many of these programmes. The purpose of this research was to investigate how eight Canadian El Sistema and Sistema-inspired programmes adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. We interviewed eight teachers and eight administrators and found that their programming was impacted in relation to four themes: (a) an increased emphasis on social curricula, (b) pedagogical shifts, (c) inclusion of diverse musical voices and (d) adopting anti-racism perspectives. The COVID-19 pandemic response served as a significant catalyst for change for Canadian El Sistema and Sistema-inspired programmes, utilising the disruption to rethink and address participant needs.
The moral limits of what, exactly?
Authors: Agmon Shai 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
While moral arguments for limiting market expansionism proliferate, a fundamental question has been left unanswered: the moral limits of what, exactly? Moral Limits of Markets (MLM) theorists tend to employ different terms – markets, putting a price tag, buying and selling – interchangeably and inconsistently to describe the phenomenon they are troubled by. I clarify this ambiguity by offering a novel taxonomy of different dimensions of exchange I identify as the sources of the normative concerns of most MLM arguments: Alienation, Commodification, Marketization, Privatization. This taxonomy allows us to better understand why and what about ‘markets’ should be limited.

Abstract
CO2 release rates from soils via soil respiration play an important role in the carbon budget of terrestrial ecosystems. Though the roles of soil temperature and moisture on soil respiration are well recognised, less is known about how their effects vary across different land-cover types. This study looked at the interactive effects of land-cover change and microclimate on temporal patterns of soil respiration in a montane forest-grassland-plantation mosaic in a highly diverse but climatically sensitive ecosystem in the tropical Western Ghats of India. Across all vegetation types, soil respiration rates were highest during south-west monsoon (June–October), when root growth, litter decomposition and microbial activity are relatively high and were lowest during the summer. Among vegetation types, soil respiration rates were higher in grasslands compared to non-native pine plantations, whereas that of forest and invasive wattle (Acacia mearnsii) plantations were intermediate between grasslands and pine plantations. The decline in respiration rates following conversion from grasslands to pine plantations could be due to relatively lower microbial activity, soil temperatures and, subsequently, slower litter decomposition. In addition, the sensitivity of soil respiration to changes in temperature and moisture differed between different vegetation types. Across all vegetation types, respiration was largely insensitive to changes in soil temperature when moisture levels were low. However, when soil moisture levels were high, respiration increased with temperature in grassland and wattle patches, decreased in the case of pine plantations and remained largely unchanged in shola forests. Our results suggest that changes in aboveground vegetation type can significantly affect soil C cycling even in the absence of any underlying differences in soil type.

Abstract
An increasing number of consumers are expressing concerns about the quality, nutrient content, and safety of the meet products they purchase, alongside animal welfare and the environmental footprint of production systems. Various studies show that grassland-based systems can produce a healthier meat product. In this context, livestock farmers are actively pursuing improvements in their systems focus on sustainability, with regenerative livestock farming emerging as a prominent approach. Most research has focused on showing the differences in the quality of meat comparing pastoral systems and those fed concentrates under controlled environments. However, there are no studies in Chile that evaluate the quality of beef derived from different pastoral systems, particularly those consider adequate data and products sourced directly from livestock sector. This study explores three beef production systems commonly used in southern Chile (conventional, free grazing, and regenerative), evaluating their impact on carcass characteristics, meat quality attributes, and nutritional components. The results show some variations in carcass weight and yield, with free grazing showing better results. Deviations in meat color were observed, with conventional meat being more red and yellow while regenerative meat was less bright. Subcutaneous fat color and water retention capacity were influenced by diet and production methods. Although lipid oxidation showed no differences, 100% grazing-based systems exhibited lower values, suggesting a higher intake of antioxidants. The research highlights the nutritional superiority of beef from grasslands, characterized by a lower intramuscular fat content and higher values of minerals, such as selenium. The complex multifactorial interaction of pastoral systems is also highlighted, impacting the carcass and meat quality. A holistic approach is essential in future research to generate and assess healthy beef.
Developing China's Hydrogen Economy: National Regulation Through Local Experimentation

Published: September 2024

AbstractHydrogen is playing an increasingly important role in China's energy and climate policy, with significant implications for the development of a global hydrogen industry. However, China's approach to the regulation of hydrogen, and, in particular, the role of local authorities in promoting hydrogen refuelling stations and fuel cell vehicles, has so far received limited scholarly attention. This article aims to contribute to the literature on hydrogen regulation and to the transnational environmental law scholarship on decentralization by examining how China promotes hydrogen at the national and local levels. The case of China shows how, in jurisdictions with a sufficient degree of decentralization, local initiatives can play a key role in driving the development of hydrogen. By testing different approaches to hydrogen regulation, local experimentation helps to manage the uncertainties associated with this new energy source. At the same time, China's experience confirms the ‘environmental federalism’ theory on the importance of regulatory harmonization to reduce transaction costs and local protectionism. As the Chinese government develops its national regulatory approach on hydrogen, it has the opportunity to take into account both local and international experience and engage with other major economies in an effort to promote an internationally harmonized regulatory landscape.
Using the CSCP Classic Tales resources to improve literacy in Year 9
Authors: Hayes Elizabeth 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Over the past decade, the literacy rate of the pupils I teach has been declining. This has led to some problems with GCSE Classical Civilisation, where pupils are not strong enough readers to fully access the prescribed sources. To counter this, one of my former colleagues suggested that we use the Classic Tales resources as the basis for our Year 9 course (students aged 13). The aim is to teach the pupils as much mythology as possible, which is an excellent foundation for the myth and religion unit, and to get them to read as much as we can, using the interactive reader, pdf transcripts, and recordings of the stories to engage all pupils in the class. The aim of this paper is to discuss the successes and failures of this strategy.
Error Assessment of Thermospheric Mass Density Retrieval With POD Products Using Different Strategies During Solar Minimum

Published: September 2024

AbstractWith the proliferation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites carrying GNSS receivers on‐board commercial operators such as Spire, Starlink, OneWeb, and Amazon, an abundance of high‐cadence tracking data could become available to the scientific community. While GNSS measurements from geodetic‐grade receivers on satellites like SWARM, CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE have been extensively used for atmospheric density retrieval, limited research has explored the potential of less accurate data from commercial operators. This study focuses on two methods to estimate atmospheric densities from precision orbit determination (POD) products—precise positions and velocities—utilizing synthetic data sets. The first method, termed “POD accelerometry” treats the POD products as measurements to a reduced‐dynamic POD scheme with the goal of estimating densities using stochastic parameters. The second method known as the energy dissipation rate (EDR) approach derives densities from changes in orbital energy. The relative contributions of various error sources—dynamics model uncertainties, and POD noise—to the estimated densities are studied for a limited set of orbital regimes and space weather activity, and possible error mitigation strategies are suggested. The performance of the two methods and their sensitivities to these various error sources are compared for circular orbits in the altitude regime 300–800 km during solar minimum . EDR and POD accelerometry have comparable performances for high drag, low POD noise environments, whereas the latter performs considerably better in low drag , high POD noise ( cm) environments, with densities retrieved at higher cadences for the orbital regimes considered in this work during solar minimum.
Quantifying Aspect‐Dependent Snowpack Response to High‐Elevation Wildfire in the Southern Rocky Mountains

Published: September 2024

AbstractIncreasing wildfire frequency and severity in high‐elevation seasonal snow zones presents a considerable water resource management challenge across the western United States (U.S.). Wildfires can affect snowpack accumulation and melt patterns, altering the quantity and timing of runoff. While prior research has shown that wildfire generally increases snow melt rates and advances snow disappearance dates, uncertainties remain regarding variations across complex terrain and the energy balance between burned and unburned areas. Utilizing paired in situ data sources within the 2020 Cameron Peak burn area on the Front Range of Colorado, U.S., during the 2021–2022 winter, we found no significant difference in peak snow water equivalent (SWE) magnitude between burned and unburned areas. However, the burned south aspect reached peak SWE 22 days earlier than burned north. During the ablation period, burned south melt rates were 71% faster than unburned south melt rates, whereas burned north melt rates were 94% faster than unburned north aspects. Snow disappeared 7–11 days earlier in burned areas than unburned areas. Net energy differences at the burned and unburned weather station sites were seasonally variable, the burned area snowpack lost more net energy during the winter, but gained more net energy during the spring. Increased incoming shortwave radiation at the burned site was 6x more impactful in altering the net shortwave radiation balance than the decline in surface albedo. These findings emphasize the need for post‐wildfire water resource planning that accounts for aspect‐dependent differences in energy and mass balance to accurately predict snowpack storage and runoff timing.
Exploring AI Progress in GNSS Remote Sensing: A Deep Learning Based Framework for Real‐Time Detection of Earthquake and Tsunami Induced Ionospheric Perturbations
Authors: Ravanelli Michela , Constantinou Valentino , Liu Hamlin , Bortnik Jacob 
Published: September 2024

AbstractGlobal Navigation Satellite System Ionospheric Seismology investigates the ionospheric response to earthquakes and tsunamis. These events are known to generate Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) that can be detected through GNSS‐derived Total Electron Content (TEC) observations. Real‐time TID identification provides a method for tsunami detection, improving tsunami early warning systems (TEWS) by extending coverage to open‐ocean regions where buoy‐based warning systems are impractical. Scalable and automated TID detection is, hence, essential for TEWS augmentation. In this work, we present an innovative approach to perform automatic real‐time TID monitoring and detection, using deep learning insights. We utilize Gramian Angular Difference Fields (GADFs), a technique that transforms time‐series into images, in combination with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), starting from VARION (Variometric Approach for Real‐time Ionosphere Observation) real‐time TEC estimates. We select four tsunamigenic earthquakes that occurred in the Pacific Ocean: the 2010 Maule earthquake, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, the 2012 Haida‐Gwaii, the 2015 Illapel earthquake. The first three events are used for model training, whereas the out‐of‐sample validation is performed on the last one. The presented framework, being perfectly suitable for real‐time applications, achieves 91.7% of F1 score and 84.6% of recall, highlighting its potential. Our approach to improve false positive detection, based on the likelihood of a TID at each time step, ensures robust and high performance as the system scales up, integrating more data for model training. This research lays the foundation for incorporating deep learning into real‐time GNSS‐TEC analysis, offering a joint and substantial contribution to TEWS progression.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Introduction
: This study, part of a larger research project assessing the political views of people with pets (dogs and cats), investigates the political views and life satisfaction of women without children who own cats. The research aims to provide insights into this group’s perspectives on current issues, including abortion rights and voting intentions for the 2024 US presidential election.
Methods
: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in August 2024, involving 236 American women cat owners without children, recruited through Prolific, an online marketplace for survey respondents. The survey assessed the sample’s demographics, life satisfaction using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), concerns about current events, views on abortion, political affiliation, and voting intentions.
Results
: Participants mean SWLS score was 18.64 (SD = 7.74), comparable to other adult populations. The majority identified as liberal (71%) and Democrat (54%). This population’s top concerns included healthcare, abortion rights, climate change and environment, and government ethics. A total of 88.1% believed abortion should be legal in all or most circumstances. Regarding the 2024 election, 86.4% plan to vote, with 72.9% of those planning to vote indicating they support the Harris/Walz ticket.
Discussion/Conclusion
: The findings suggest that childless women with cats are a politically engaged population with predominantly liberal views. While study limitations include lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the sample, this research provides valuable insights into the political leanings and life satisfaction of an often-stereotyped group.
