title: Qualitative und integrierte Forschung im Marketing
Creators: name: Gutterding, Iris Petra
Year: 2009

description: Trotz des hohen Potenzials, welches qualitative und integrierte Forschung bietet, ist die Verbreitung wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten, die sich solcher Methoden bedienen, in den meisten betriebswirtschaftlichen Disziplinen sehr gering. Eine Vorherrschaft des quantitativen Paradigmas liegt auch im Bereich des Marketings vor. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht mit Hilfe einer Literaturanalyse von hochrangigen marketingspezifischen Zeitenschriften den aktuellen Stand qualitativer und kombinierter Forschung. Die Analyse verdeutlicht, dass der Anteil qualitativer und integrierter Forschung in diesem Bereich extrem gering ist. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigen, dass qualitative Methoden hauptsächlich bei der Erforschung des Konsumentenverhaltens Verwendung finden. Ferner konnte festgestellt werden, dass das Sequenzielle (Vorstudien-) Modell die beliebteste Form integrierter Forschung darstellt. Ebenfalls deutlich wird, dass ein großer Bedarf in der systematischen Strukturierung, nachvollziehbaren Darstellung der Vorgehensweise der Datenerhebung und -auswertung sowie Qualitätskriterien qualitativer Studien besteht.

description: More and more efforts are spent for manufacturing low-weldable nickel-based superalloys in contemporary research applied to additive manufacturing. One of the biggest difficulty with these kinds of alloys is reducing the flaws density obtaining a good final microstructure in the as-built state. Nevertheless, the complete densification of the alloys can be reached only after further heat treatments such as the Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP). The SLM material microstructure is severely different with respect to that obtainable after traditional manufacturing. This will also impact the final mechanical properties as well as the microstructure stability. Very often, designing specifically tailored heat treatments become the most viable solution for enhancing these materials. In this work the effect of the HIP treatment Is discussed and, after performing DSC and TMA thermal analysis, the effects of two heat treatments on two Ni-based alloys are discussed

description: The study of the ecophysiology of invasive species is one of the main steps in understanding the dynamics of territorial expansion of these species and establishing prevention, control, and combat measures and protocols. For freshwater molluscs, one of the main limiting factors is salinity. Laboratory tests closer to reality are needed to make more efficient models. Melanoides tuberculata is an invasive freshwater snail monitored worldwide, and it also has implications for human health. Recent studies supported that its rapid expansion has been enabled through its adaptation to both estuarine conditions and saline waters. The present study aims to determine the real tolerance range of M. tuberculata through a stepwise acclimation test as a more realistic model of a transitional gradient from a lentic to an estuarine environment and so determine the real potential for salinity adaptation. It also aims to check differences in the tolerance responses between age groups and life history, using two distinct populations subject to distinct ambient conditions. The stepwise acclimation test was effective in proving that M. tuberculata may be highly adaptable to salinity variation, contrasting with all previous tests. Thus, the results support the hypothesis of dispersion via estuaries by salinity-tolerant M. tuberculata juveniles.
Greywater systems: barriers for builders
Creators: name: Dinama, Desmond
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: Australia is one of the driest continents in the world with changing climatic conditions continuing to put a strain on potable water sources. The use of water saving technologies such as greywater systems in residential properties is an important water conservation tool in order to reduce the consumption of the finite potable water resources in Australia.

To this end, Master Builders Association Victoria with the assistance of RMIT University investigated the current barriers that builders face with regard to the installation of greywater systems in residential properties. Builders like other property and construction professionals have a part to play in promoting the use of sustainable technologies.

The main aims of the project were to firstly find out or identify barriers that are inhibiting builders from installing greywater systems and secondly to identify and formulate strategies to reduce or eliminate the barriers identified.

The main barriers for builders are; high cost, government regulations, lack of builder awareness or knowledge, and low client demand. The potential solutions for the reduction or elimination of the barriers identified as part of the research include; economic and reliable greywater systems, creation of a website with link on greywater systems and educating the general public.
title: Gesundheitsförderung macht Schule
Creators: name: Swatosch, Astrid
Year: 2009

description: Das Interesse an Maßnahmen der Gesundheitsförderung ist stark gestiegen und im Zusammenhang damit auch die Aufmerksamkeit für Fragen der Verbesserung der Gesundheitssituation von Jugendlichen und Kindern. Die Gesundheitsförderung soll laut Ottawa-Charta in den Schulen verankert sein. Ihnen wird in diesem Prozess eine zentrale Rolle zugedacht und große Hoffnungen auf ihr gesundheitsförderndes Potential gesetzt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit einem Vergleich zweier Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeschulen. Die Schule am Wilhelminenspital ist Mitglied im „Wiener Netzwerk Gesundheitsfördernde Schulen“, im Gegensatz zur Schule am Sozialmedizinischen Zentrum Ost. Ziel war es herauszufinden, ob diese Mitgliedschaft eine Wirkung auf das Gesundheitsverhalten, Gesundheitsbewusstsein und das Wissen über gesundheitsrelevante Fragen der SchülerInnen hat und ob sich das Verhalten in den Punkten Bewegung, Rauchen und Ernährung zur „Non-Netzwerkschule“ gleichen Schultyps unterscheidet. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen wurde ein standardisierter Fragebogen in gekürzter Form verwendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Schulen in den Bereichen „Wissen um Projekte zum Thema Gesundheit“, „Unterrichtsgegenstände, die auf die Schädlichkeit von Zigarettenkonsum aufmerksam machen“ und „Anzahl der vor dem Fernseher verbrachten Stunden“. Hinsichtlich der restlichen Variablen konnte kein Unterschied zwischen den beiden Schulen festgestellt werden.
description: The interest in measures of health promotion has increased considerably and in connection with it the attention for matters of improving the health situation of adolescents and children. Health promotion, according to the Ottawa Charta, is to be embedded in schools. Their role is intended to be central in this process and great hopes are placed in their health promoting potential. The paper on hand deals with a comparison between two health care and nursing schools. The school at the Wilhelminenspital is a member of the “Vienna Network of Health Promoting Schools”, unlike the school at the SMZ-Ost. The objective was to find out if this membership has an effect on the students’ health behaviour, their health awareness and their knowledge about health relevant issues and whether their behaviour concerning exercise, smoking and nutrition differs from the non-network school of the same type. To answer the research questions a standardised questionnaire in a shortened version was used. The results of the analysis show differences between the two schools in the fields “knowledge of projects concerning health”, “teaching subjects that raise awareness for the harmfulness of smoking” and “number of hours spent in front of the TV set or a video game console”. With regard to the remaining variables no difference could be detected between the two schools.
Bird’s eye view: using a data fusion of drone and satellite imagery to classify and assess high marsh habitat in Delaware Bay, New Jersey
Creators: name: Diehl, Theodore
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Tidal salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the world and provide vital habitat for both aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Climate change-induced sea level rise poses an existential threat to salt marsh habitats, with many areas facing potential submersion within the next century. In Delaware Bay, impoundment for the farming of salt hay (Spartina patens) and ditching for mosquito control have altered the hydrology and structure of the salt marsh environment. Over time these alterations have reduced marsh resiliency and increased vulnerability to the destructive effects of sea level rise. Furthermore, areas of high marsh characterized by significant coverage of Spartina patens and Distichlis spicata are being converted into Spartina alterniflora low marsh as tidal ranges increase in elevation. This phenomenon requires the ability to map changes in high marsh coverage using a method that is both temporally and spatially flexible. This study leverages data fusions of drone- and satellite-based remotely sensed imagery to classify high marsh vegetation communities at fine and broad spatial scales. Fine-scale classification is conducted primarily using 2.5 cm/pixel drone imagery and an object-based image analysis approach to identify high marsh areas at a site-specific scale. Broad-scale classification is conducted using 3 m/pixel satellite imagery and a pixel-based image analysis approach to classify high marsh habitat at a regional scale. Results showed that drone imagery-based fine-scale classification of Spartina patens-Distichlis spicata high marsh was best performed using a data fusion of RGB drone imagery, a pansharpened satellite imagery-based near-infrared band, and vertical information derived from drone photogrammetry, with a classification F-score of 74%. Results also showed that satellite imagery-based broad-scale classification of Spartina patens-Distichlis spicata high marsh is best performed using a support vector machine (SVM) approach, with a classification F-score of 68%. Habitat classification maps are compared with saltmarsh sparrow (Ammodrammus caudacutus) call activity using data collected as part of a passive acoustic monitoring study. Results showed that saltmarsh sparrow call activity at the site was highest in areas of unditched marsh, followed by a recently active salt hay farm, and lastly ditched marsh. Additionally, saltmarsh sparrow call activity was shown to be significantly correlated with percent coverage of Spartina patens-Distichlis spicata high marsh.

description: The larval development of cowries has remained underexplored due to challenges associated with restricted growth and high mortalities, and as a result, their larvae never achieve competency or metamorphosis. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments using Cypraea tigris larvae to optimise the culture protocols. Broadly, there were no apparent differences in larval survival rates among the seawater quality levels (0.2, 1 aged, 50 μm filtered seawater). In contrast, a microalgal diet solely of Tisochrysis lutea and a mixed diet of Rhodomonas salina + Chaetoceros mulleri had higher larval survival rates than two other mixed diets (i.e., T. lutea + Tetraselmis suecica and T. suecica + R. salina). The provision of 10 ppm of the antibiotic streptomycin sulphate also boosted larval survival by preventing ciliate infection and minimising bacterial growth. We subsequently improved culture protocols by applying new information from these experiments and report the first successful captive breeding of C. tigris through to settlement. The C. tigris larvae reared at 28°C attained competency as early as 40 days post-hatching and metamorphosed by 42 days upon transfer to a well-conditioned tank. Observations of C. tigris larvae and early-stage juvenile development were documented for the first time and are reported herein.

Probing the minds of novice programmers through guided learning
Creators: name: Mohamed Shuhidan, Shuhaida
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: Learning to program is known to be difficult and problematic for a significant number of novice programmers. The problem has generated interest in a range of enquiries and has given impetus to the need for a teaching-research nexus, to provide a better understanding of novice programming problems. Our methodology involved is action research, conducted over five cycles. The first two cycles involve our study of novice responses to summative assessment. We analyse two sets of summative assessments in introductory programming courses in order to understand the answers provided by novices and the types of errors they typically make. In this thesis, we focus our analysis on multiple choice questions. We discuss the novice levels of difficulty to analyse novice responses to the multiple choice questions. We also define and discuss measures such as instructor levels of complexity to understand the intentions of the instructors when testing novices via summative assessments. In the third cycle we study the instructor perspectives to summative assessment and particularly into multiple choice questions. We conduct further research on instructor perspectives as we found that there are inadequacies in the levels of complexity which they perceive to exist in exam questions. In the fourth and fifth cycles we detail the development and evaluation of the guided learning tool. The guided learning tool is developed around the idea of probing the minds of novices as they use the tool to learn programming. This provides for an adaptive, learner-centric experience, allowing the student a self-directed learning environment. The tool, combined with the framework, allows instructors and novices to monitor novice progress and identify the strong and weak links between the components learned. Instructors may benefit by improving their teaching, as the guided learning tool helps them to identify “what” and “where” the learning difficulties are, and not take for granted the areas or components of learning that they believe the novices have easily understood. Novices may identify their weak components and work on the particular topics to improve their skills in learning to program. In the survey of the tool, we received approximately half of the responses mentioning that the questions in the guided learning tool help them to remember and understand programming concepts, which support our goal of the guided learning tool that is to aid novices to remember and understand programming concepts. Overall, we hope that the guided learning tool may prevent students from falling into the cognitive traps that often ensnare novice programmers.
Effects of low intensity light therapy on cancer cells : in vitro evaluation
Creators: name: Peidaee, Pantea
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Low intensity light therapy (LILT) is an emerging non-invasive modality for localized treatment of joint pain, bone and soft tissue repair and other medical conditions. It is proven that changes in the energy state of bio-molecules induced by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) lead to changes in biological functions of irradiated bio-molecules. By using the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) approach, it was computationally predicted that far infrared light irradiation in the range of 3500nm – 6000nm affects biological activity of proto-oncogene proteins. This project developed the exposure system and evaluated the effect of external visible, near infrared and far infrared wavelengths in vitro on selected human (MCF7, human breast cancer cells, and HEM, human normal cells) and animal (B16F10, animal cancer cells, and CHO, animal normal cells) cells for three different exposure regimes. Extensive cell based quantitative and qualitative assays conducted on irradiated cells to evaluate evaluation the effect of external light radiation on cells. Quantitative assessments were performed by LDH, MTT, and PrestoBlue. Qualitative assessments were achieved by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) and phase contrast microscopy. These in vitro experiments of selected cancer and normal cells demonstrate that the theoretically proposed wavelengths induce cytotoxic effects in cancer cells for all three regimes of exposures and post exposure incubation, while such effect could not be verified for normal cells.
Preparation and characterization of polypropylene-compatibilizer-filler composites
Creators: name: Huang, Huan-Yao
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Polypropylene (PP) composites includ a mineral filler, though they can be enhanced by blending with an elastomer. Blending rigid fillers with PP increased strength while decreasing toughness. Blending soft elastomers with PP decreased strength while increasing toughness. PP-elastomer-filler ternary composites offer synergism because the increase of strength due to filler may compensate the loss of strength due to the elastomer. Two morphologies were identified, separated elastomer and filler particles in PP, and filler particles encapsulated by elastomer in PP. Interaction between filler and PP matrix are proposed to increase with the addition of polar elastomers when encapsulated morphology is formed, leading to enhanced mechanical properties. PP-elastomer-filler blended tapes were prepared via single-screw extrusion. Annealing was performed after cooling the tapes, and this co mbination proved to increase the modulus. Characterization of the composites was carried out using thermogravimetry, dynamic-force thermomechanometry, modulated-force thermomechanometry, and Fourier transform infrared imaging. Incorporation of polysiloxane elastomer increased the mobility of PP during extrusion. Elongation at break increased with increasing polysiloxane content, while the tensile modulus was slightly decreased. The silica core within the polysiloxane particles provided an additional strength enhancement. Polar elastomers aided binding between PP and fillers, while enhancing strength and toughness. Glass transition temperature and segmental motion activation energy was shifted to higher temperature with addition of elastomer and filler, including kaolin and talc.

description: Image denoising is a challenging research problem that aims to recover noise-free images from those that are contaminated with noise. In this paper, we focus on the denoising of images that are contaminated with additive white Gaussian noise. For this purpose, we propose an ensemble learning model that uses the output of three image denoising models, namely ADNet, IRCNN, and DnCNN, in the ratio of 2:3:6, respectively. The first model (ADNet) consists of Convolutional Neural Networks with attention along with median filter layers after every convolutional layer and a dilation rate of 8. In the case of the second model, it is a feed forward denoising CNN or DnCNN with median filter layers after half of the convolutional layers. For the third model, which is Deep CNN Denoiser Prior or IRCNN, the model contains dilated convolutional layers and median filter layers up to the dilated convolutional layers with a dilation rate of 6. By quantitative analysis, we note that our model performs significantly well when tested on the BSD500 and Set12 datasets.

description: Most studies addressing the ecological effects of Bt crops have focused on non-target effects during the crop growing cycle. Less information is available on the fate of expressed toxins in crop residue after harvest in a no-till production system. This research investigated the effects of four post-harvest management practices on the degradation rates of Cry proteins expressed in SmartStax field corn. Cry protein degradation expressed as growth inhibition of Ostrinia nubilalis larvae after harvest was measured by a feeding bioassay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to detect the presence of Cry proteins.  Cry proteins retained significant levels of biological activity at crop senescence and were still present in corn residue for more than 20 weeks after harvest. Despite inconsistencies in treatment effects, the study demonstrated that post-harvest practices that increase soil-residue contact increase protein degradation, thereby reducing the period of exposure for non-target organisms.

description: Previous research investigated whether adults who stutter are affected by the same lexical retrieval factors as typically fluent adults. The findings of these studies indicate that the nature of this impact may (Newman & Ratner, 2007) or may not (Hennessey, Nang, & Beilby, 2008) differ between groups. The current study investigates how lexical retrieval unfolds when words are embedded in sentences across these populations. This work used an eye tracking while speaking paradigm during an “A and B are above C” sentence task. Codability and frequency of objects “A” and “B” were manipulated. Adults who stutter and typically fluent adults showed longer gaze duration with increased B difficulty. Total looking times indicated that effects of pre-planning varied with difficulty of A only in typically fluent adults. This suggests that word-level production interacts with sentence-level production. Pre-planning strategies may be less flexible among adults who do stutter than typically fluent adults.

After the open cell: the Cambodian refugee experience
Creators: name: Yates, Edward
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: My thesis tells of the Cambodian refugee experience. It is based on the life stories of ten Cambodian refugees who presently live in Melbourne Australia. The stories that people told me were about their experiences of life before the Pol Pot regime, their survival of one of the twentieth century's totalitarian regimes, then their travel to and life in the Thai refugee camps and more recently their experiences of resettlement and life in Australia. My work explores the profound impact these life experiences had on Cambodian people and how they remembered and told stories about their past. Further, it considers how these experiences shaped the identities of survivors of the Pol Pot years. It is clear that the Cambodian refugee experience tells us that people can do the most terrible things to other people, but it is also clear that human beings can also survive almost any sit uation. In this regard my work shows that life is a most precious and fragile thing, but it also has an amazing strength and resilience.

description: Semantic convergence offers support that the bilingual language system comprises a merging of two languages rather than the sum of two languages. This phenomenon has been studied in multiple language areas and in young children and adults. However, it is unclear how semantic convergence compares across grammatical class and across the lifespan. In this study, Hindi-English aging and adult bilinguals completed a word association task in response to verb and noun stimuli. Results showed that younger adult bilinguals experience more semantic convergence compared to older adult bilinguals, and that semantic convergence is greater for nouns compared to verbs. The results for word class are discussed in the context of the retrieval induced reconsolidation hypothesis, cross-language interference hypothesis, and weaker links hypothesis. The implications for aging are contextualized within the current research on aging and bilingualism.

description: Approximate Arithmetic is a task that requires one to approximate the number of dots in dot arrays to add or subtract pairs of dot arrays. Past work has shown that Approximate Arithmetic is a significant predictor of symbolic mental arithmetic. Approximate Arithmetic is thought to engage processes like Visuospatial Working Memory. Those with higher Visuospatial Working Memory ability are better at Approximate Arithmetic. However, few studies have looked at both Visuospatial Working Memory and Approximate Arithmetic’s contribution to variance in mental arithmetic performance. The current study examines the relation between Approximate Arithmetic, symbolic mental arithmetic, and Visuospatial Working Memory. Mediation analyses indicate that the relation between Approximate Arithmetic and mental arithmetic is fully mediated by individual differences in Visuospatial Working Memory. While additional analyses confirm the robustness and dominance of this full mediation model in predicting math ability.

description: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones that respond to stress and the circadian rhythm. Pharmacological GCs are widely used to treat autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases despite their adverse effects on bone after long-term therapy. GCs regulate bone homeostasis in a cell-type specific manner, affecting osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. Endogenous physiological and exogenous/excessive GCs act via nuclear receptors, mainly via the GC receptor (GR). Endogenous GCs have anabolic effects on bone mass regulation, while excessive or exogenous GCs can cause detrimental effects on bone. GC-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is a common adverse effect after GC therapy, which increases the risk of fractures. Exogenous GC treatment impairs osteoblastogenesis, survival of the osteoblasts/osteocytes and prolongs the longevity of osteoclasts. Under normal physiological conditions, endogenous GCs are regulated by the circadian rhythm and circadian genes display oscillatory rhythmicity in bone cells. However, exogenous GCs treatment disturbs the circadian rhythm. Recent evidence suggests that the disturbed circadian rhythm by continuous exogenous GCs treatment can in itself hamper bone integrity. GC signaling is also important for fracture healing and rheumatoid arthritis, where crosstalk among several cell types including macrophages and stromal cells is indispensable. This review summarizes the complexity of GC actions via GR in bone cells at cellular and molecular levels, including the effect on circadian rhythmicity, and outlines new therapeutic possibilities for the treatment of their adverse effects.

subject: Myatrophische Lateralsklerose

description: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has become an important cornerstone of symptomatic treatment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), improving survival and quality of life. In this review, we summarize the most important recent developments and insights, including evidence of efficacy, indication criteria and time of initiation, ventilation parameters and adaptation strategies, treatment of complicating factors, transition from NIV to invasive ventilation, termination of NIV and end-of-life management. Recent publications have questioned former conventions and guideline recommendations, especially with regard to timing and prognostic factors; therefore, a fresh look and re-evaluation of current evidence is needed.
title: Werbewirkung im Web 2.0, untersucht anhand der Wissenskluft-Hypothese
Creators: name: Tatschl, Gregor
Year: 2009

description: Thema: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde untersucht, in wie weit die Wissenskluft-Hypothese nach Tichenor et al. zur Untersuchung von Werbewirkung im Web 2.0 herangezogen werden kann. Methodik: Nach einer Begriffsklärung und Präzisierung der Themenbereiche Web 2.0, Werbung und Werbewirkung sowie einer Darstellung der Wissenskluft-Hypothese und ihrer Erweiterungen wurden mittels Gruppendiskussionen, an denen Web-2.0-Nutzer teilnahmen, empirische Daten erhoben und einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen. Ergebnisse: Wissenskluft-Faktoren sind für die Werbewirkung im Web 2.0 nur eingeschränkt ausschlaggebend. Prägnant war allerdings der während der Diskussionen beobachtete Wissenstransfer von zumeist höher Gebildeten zu unerfahrenen bzw. niedriger gebildeten Teilnehmern. Schlussfolgerungen: Erfahrung im Umgang mit dem Medium Web 2.0, zB. durch die Teilnahme an Social-Networking-Plattformen, und individuelle Interessen und Nutzungsmotive beeinflussen die Rezeption persuasiver Inhalte und damit ihre Wirksamkeit mindestens ebenso sehr wie formale Bildungsaspekte. Dabei hilft die interpersonale Kommunikation bei der Aneignung relevanter Kompetenzen.
Coherence-Dark Coherence Based Theoretical Model for Kuiper Belt Phenomena and Cut-Offs
Creators: name: Thavarajah, Rogan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This work presents a novel theoretical framework based on the Coherence-Dark Coherence model to explain the Kuiper Belt’s sharp cut-off at ~50 AU, its nested substructures, and the distribution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). While standard models rely on planetary migration and collisional evolution, this framework introduces coherence-driven resonances as a self-organizing mechanism shaping the Kuiper Belt’s structure.

Using a mathematical formulation of coherence wave functions, this model predicts:

The Kuiper Belt’s precise cut-off at ~50 AU due to a coherence-driven phase transition.

Fractal substructures forming stable Cold Classical Kuiper Belt objects (~40-48 AU), Scattered Disk bodies (50-80 AU), and Detached Objects (80-120 AU).

Undetected clustering of objects at ~55-65 AU and 80-90 AU, forming new observational targets.

This study provides testable predictions for upcoming JWST, ALMA, and Rubin Observatory surveys, offering an alternative to classical migration-based models and reshaping our understanding of outer Solar System dynamics.

description: n the past centuries, viruses have benefited from globalization to spread across the globe, infecting new host species and populations. A growing number of viruses have been documented in the western honey bee, Apis mellifera. Several of these contribute significantly to honey bee colony losses. This review synthetizes the knowledge of the diversity and distribution of honey-bee-infecting viruses, including recent data from high-throughput sequencing (HTS). After presenting the diversity of viruses and their corresponding symptoms, we surveyed the scientific literature for the prevalence of these pathogens across the globe. The geographical distribution shows that the most prevalent viruses (deformed wing virus, sacbrood virus, black queen cell virus and acute paralysis complex) are also the most widely distributed. We discuss the ecological drivers that influence the distribution of these pathogens in worldwide honey bee populations. Besides the natural transmission routes and the resulting temporal dynamics, global trade contributes to their dissemination. As recent evidence shows that these viruses are often multihost pathogens, their spread is a risk for both the beekeeping industry and the pollination services provided by managed and wild pollinators.
