description: Little is known about the agroecological implications of the Asian honey bee Apis cerana Fabricius in its vast native range including southeast India. To identify the foraging preferences of this generalist species, we collected 388 corbicular pollen samples over three years at Merveille, an eco-restoration site in Puducherry region, southeast India. Pollen was collected twice or thrice weekly from March 2018 to December 2021 in three locations within the site. We used canonical correspondence analysis to evaluate how average daily temperature, humidity and other meteorological changes over the years would influence A. cerana’s diet. We show that (1) A. cerana has a large dietary niche (87 pollen taxa), but essentially feeds on Cocos nucifera (all year long) and on Borassus flabellifer, Turnera, Acacia, Mollugo/Trianthema, Leucaena/Prosopis, Portulaca, Poaceae, Syzygium-t, Dodonaea viscosa and Boerhavia seasonally; these were most frequently and abundantly foraged at all locations. (2) In all locations, bees preferentially feed on arboreal plants (44 taxa). (3) Bees' pollen diet varies in composition according to seasons. It is also least diverse in the hottest and driest months (March-May) with 2–4 taxa against 7–13 taxa in other months. (4) In 2021, which was more humid and slightly cooler than 2018 and 2019, bee diet included more pollen of Cyperaceae, Dodonaea viscosa, Liliaceae and fallow land weeds such as Boerhavia and Mimosa pudica. In conclusion, corbicular pollen loads of Apis cerana provide a long and continuous record of the bee’s diet and its changes through time and space. The diet changed according to subtle changes in humidity and temperature as also drastic changes in rainfall at the study site, likely reflecting changes in the floral resource availability and the bees’ preference. The sustained presence of this bee species within its native ranges can be a bellwether of pollinator friendly habitats.

description: Aims: This study aims to assess the knowledge of people from Central Africa about Universal Health Coverage and show the contribution of Information-Education-Communication for its adoption. Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study across 4 of 6 Central African Countries was conducted. Independent variables are sociodemographic characteristics. Dependent variables are knowledge about Information-Education-Communication and Universal Health Coverage. The questionnaire was disseminated by WhatsApp images or word file or copy/paste of the text and send to the contacted and trained focal points. From the Smartphone, the filmed or transferred data were entered into a CSpro 5.0 input form. Mean score calculations and Odd Ratio with 95 % Confidence Interval for p < 0.005 were used to make associations. Results: the Universal Health Coverage had never been heard of by 56.3% of the participants. The Universal Health Coverage was defined as health insurance by (43.9%), free care (30.3%). Respondents with secondary and higher education are more likely to have heard of the UHC than respondents with no education or those with elementary education [OR = 2.95 (1.01-8.64), p = 0.021] and [OR = 4.27 (1.50 – 12.16), p = 0.002] respectively. Conclusion: 9.3% of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) population is aware of the Universal Health Coverage; 89.4% of these accept universal health coverage in their country, and 87.4% of them think that the Information Education Communication could enable better adherence to the Universal Health Communication. Implemention of Universal Health Coverage for the general population and adoption of Information-Education-Communication to promote Universal Health Coverage and pool efforts and affiliation procedures in the CEMAC zone is very important

description: Citations are increasingly used for research evaluations. It is therefore important to identify factors affecting citation scores that are unrelated to scholarly quality or usefulness so that these can be taken into account. Regression is the most powerful statistical technique to identify these factors and hence it is important to identify the best regression strategy for citation data. Citation counts tend to follow a discrete lognormal distribution and, in the absence of alternatives, have been investigated with negative binomial regression. Using simulated discrete lognormal data (continuous lognormal data rounded to the nearest integer) this article shows that a better strategy is to add one to the citations, take their log and then use the general linear (ordinary least squares) model for regression (e.g., multiple linear regression, ANOVA), or to use the generalised linear model without the log. Reasonable results can also be obtained if all the zero citations are discarded, the log is taken of the remaining citation counts and then the general linear model is used, or if the generalised linear model is used with the continuous lognormal distribution. Similar approaches are recommended for altmetric data, if it proves to be lognormally distributed.

description: Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for evolving an integrated healthcare ecosystem that will connect patients to digital and home healthcare to achieve universal health coverage. The survey aims to assess perceptions and preferences about digital and home healthcare services and develop an integrated healthcare ecosystem. Methods: A survey of 254 Nigerians was conducted to assess their awareness, preferences, and willingness to pay for digital and home healthcare services using electronic questionnaires, and the data were analysed using SPSS 16.0. Results: Males constituted 70.9%, and 61.4% were aged ≤35 years. Two-third were clients, and a third were healthcare providers. Although about 71% patronized public hospitals, there was poor satisfaction (31.7%) than those attending private hospitals that were more satisfied. The male gender, private hospital utilization, and age of ≤35 years were associated with the satisfaction with OR 1.19 (95% CI 0.69-2.05), OR 1.22 (95% CI 0.73-2.04), and OR 2.41 (95% CI 1.38-4.20) respectively. Thirty minutes was the acceptable delay in receiving care by most respondents. Only 39.4% were aware of digital health, and 52.8% were aware of home healthcare. Male gender was associated with DH awareness, while being a healthcare provider was associated with both DH and home healthcare awareness. The respondents' median amount was willing to pay for DH and HH respondents is $1.64 - $6.56 and $3.28 – $6.56, respectively. Conclusion: In response to the survey result, we designed an integrated hospital, digital, and home healthcare project named eDokta, to leapfrog the attainment of universal health coverage in Nigeria.

description: Most countries in Africa are faced with health system problems that vary from one to the next. Countries with a low Human Development Index (HDI) seem to be more prone to challenges in health service delivery. To mark its 70th anniversary on World Health Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) selected the theme “Universal Health Coverage (UHC): Everyone, Everywhere” and the slogan “Health for All. ”UHC refers to ensuring that all people have access to needed health services (including prevention, promotion, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliation) of sufficient quality to be effective while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship. UHC is a WHO’s priority objective. Most governments have made it their major goal. This paper provides a perspective on the challenges of achieving UHC in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It also endeavors to spotlight the successful models of Health Service Delivery Networks (HSDNs) that make significant strides in making progress towards achieving UHC. HSDNs propose models that facilitate the attainment of affordability and accessibility while maintaining quality in delivering health services. Additionally, it brings up to speed the challenges associated with setting up HSDNs in health systems in SSA. It then makes propositions of what measures and strategic approaches should be implemented to strengthen HSDNs in SSA. This paper further argues that UHC is not only technically feasible but it is also attainable if countries embrace HSDNs in SSA.

description: We work out the phenomenology of a model of supersymmetry breaking in the presence of a tiny (tunable) positive cosmological constant, proposed by the authors in arXiv:1403.1534. It utilises a single chiral multiplet with a gauged shift symmetry, that can be identified with the string dilaton (or an appropriate compactification modulus). The model is coupled to the MSSM, leading to calculable soft supersymmetry breaking masses and a distinct low energy phenomenology that allows to differentiate it from other models of supersymmetry breaking and mediation mechanisms.

description: This article presents a pollen study of 13 species of Dendrophorbium (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) occurring in Brazil. Dendrophorbium has species distributed in the South and Southeast regions of the Brazilian territory that were previously grouped in Senecio Myriocephalus sect. and later Dendrophorbium was elevated to the rank of genus, considering the section Myriocephalus as a synonym of Dendrophorbium. The aim of this study is to advance knowledge of the pollen characteristics of the genus and thus contribute to the taxonomy of the group. The botanical material was collected from specimens deposited in national herbaria. Floral buds were acetolysed for light microscopic analysis. Pollen sediments were mounted on slides with glycerinated gelatin and analyzed under a light microscope. Measurements were taken of the diameters and thickness of exine layers of pollen grains. Examination showed pollen grains to be monadic, isopolar, medium-sized, oblate-spheroidal to prolate-spheroidal, and 3-colporate. The endoaperture has median constriction in most species, except in D. pellucidinerve. The sexine is thicker than the nexine and echinate, with large perforations at the base of echinae. The exine is caveate. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the pollen grains of the 13 Dendrophorbium species are homogeneous and can be differentiated by aperture shape and dimensions and echinus characteristics.

description: Africa is at a critical time undergoing demographic, epidemiological, political and socio-economic transitions and faced with repeated outbreaks of emerging and remerging diseases amidst other broader challenges of climate change, environmental degradation and pollution testing the resilience of its health systems and hindering progress to achieve health for all. Five years into the journey towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the continent – similar to the rest of the world – has been gripped with the Corona virus disease pandemic that has caused significant morbidity and mortality as well as severely disrupted health systems and the underlying socioeconomic determinants of health. One of the most significant SDG targets is the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) where all people have access to quality health services they need without inflicting a financial hardship on them. However, progress towards this target has been slow on the continent and requires rethinking the current approaches employed. We argue that Africa’s key strength lies in the communities whose potential should be unlocked to build cost effective and sustainable bottom-up health systems founded on Primary Health Care (PHC). Such systems should be founded on community-based services, designed around individuals, families and the community involving community health workers and other actors, and capitalising on health promotion and disease prevention approaches. A strong community health system should be adequately linked to district, regional and national levels working together to empower and serve populations to make health for all a reality.

description: The realization in the early 1980s that weak scale supersymmetry stabilizes the Higgs sector of the spectacularly successful Standard Model led several authors to explore whether low energy supersymmetry could play a role in particle physics. Among these were Richard Arnowitt, Ali Chamseddine and Pran Nath who constructed a viable {\em locally} supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), laying down the foundation for supergravity GUT models of particle physics. Supergravity models continue to be explored as one of the most promising extensions of the Standard Model. After a quick overview of some of the issues and aspirations of early researchers working to bring supersymmetry into the mainstream of particle physics, we re-examine early arguments that seemed to imply that superpartners would be revealed in experiments at LEP2 or at the Tevatron. Our purpose is to assess whether the absence of any superpartners in searches at LHC8 presents a crisis for supersymmetry. Toward this end, we re-evaluate fine-tuning arguments that lead to upper bounds on (some) superpartner masses. We conclude that phenomenologically viable superpartner spectra that could arise within a high scale model tuned no worse than a few percent are perfectly possible. While no viable underlying model of particle physics that leads to such spectra has yet emerged, we show that the (supergravity-based) Radiatively-driven Natural Supersymmetry (RNS) framework serves as a surrogate for a phenomenological analysis of an underlying theory with modest fine-tuning. We outline the phenomenological implications of this framework, with emphasis on those LHC and electron-positron collider signatures that might point to the underlying natural origin of gauge and Higgs boson masses. We conclude that the supergravity GUT paradigm laid down in 1982 by Arnowitt, Chamseddine and Nath, and others, remains a vibrant possibility.

description: Aim: To analyse options for maximising the capacity of human resources for health to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Africa. Methods: Articles were retrieved from a Pubmed search and additional snowballing was conducted to provide other relevant sources. Further utilizations were made of Campbell's modified framework of the Human Resources for Health (HRH) and Universal Health Coverage with the WHO labour market dynamics framework for Universal Health Coverage. Four sub-themes viz improved HRH performance, Labour Market Factors, Rural Health Workers Retention Factors, and Information Technology Factors were analysed. Results: Labour market factors such as the dynamics of demand and supply of health workers determine the availability of health workers. Supportive supervision enables the health workers to improve in their performance and enhance optimised utilisation of available resources. This supervision can be more effective by complementing it with tools such as information technology that focus on improving the quality of health care, considering the growth in the number of internet and broadband users in the continent. Conclusion: Expanding the training opportunities for health workers and also increasing the funding to human resources for health are useful policy options to consider. Cost-effective approaches such as a focus on community health committees which stimulate the demand for health services in rural communities to tackle the disproportionate distribution of health workers should be considered in the context of the uncertain economic aftermath of the covid-19 outbreak.

description: Software quality assurance has been a heated topic for several decades. If factors that influence software quality can be identified, they may provide more insight for better software development management. More precise quality assurance can be achieved by employing resources according to accurate quality estimation at the early stages of a project. In this paper, a general procedure is proposed to derive software quality estimation models and various techniques are presented to accomplish the tasks in respective steps. Several statistical techniques together with machine learning method are utilized to verify the effectiveness of software metrics. Moreover, a neuro-fuzzy approach is adopted to improve the accuracy of the estimation model. This procedure is carried out based on data from the ISBSG repository to present its empirical value.

description: Oceanic core complexes (OCCs) are domal exposures of oceanic crust and mantle interpreted to be denuded to the seafloor by large slip oceanic detachment faults. We combine previously reported U-Pb zircon crystallization ages with (U-Th)/He zircon thermochronometry and multicomponent magnetic remanence data to determine the cooling history of the footwall to the Atlantis Massif OCC (30°N, MAR) and help establish cooling rates, as well as depths of detachment faulting and gabbro emplacement. We present nine new (U-Th)/He zircon ages for samples from IODP Hole U1309D ranging from 40 to 1415m below seafloor. These data paired with U-Pb zircon ages and magnetic remanence data constrain cooling rates of gabbroic rocks from the upper 800 m of the central dome at Atlantis Massif as 2895 (+1276/-1162) °C Myr-1 (from ~780°C to ~250°C); the lower 600 m of the borehole cooled more slowly at mean rates of ~500 (+125/-102) °C Myr-1 (from ~780°C to present-day temperatures). Rocks from the uppermost part of the hole also reveal a brief period of slow cooling at rates of ~300°C Myr-1, possibly due to hydrothermal circulation to ~4 km depth through the detachment fault zone. Assuming a fault slip rate of 20 mm/yr (from U-Pb zircon ages of surface samples) and a rolling hinge model for the sub-surface fault geometry, we predict that the 780°C isotherm lies at ~7 km below the axial valley floor, likely corresponding both to the depth at which the semi-brittle detachment fault roots and the probable upper limit of significant gabbro emplacement.

description: This paper investigates how application programming interfaces can be used to improve the interoperability (or shareability) of health records. Electronic health records store health information that originates from various sources like prescription order systems, medical devices and even other EHRs. An API helps these disparate systems exchange information with one another. APIs can improve data sharing by using secure standards like FHIR. Having all off this integrated and usable data can aid in the clinical decision process. This would also allow patients to have a more comprehensive look at their health data in patient portals.

description: National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) designed various Social Health Insurance programmes to achieve universal coverage in healthcare delivery in the country. The Scheme is adjudged to have failed to achieve its primary objective, especially in the informal sector, due to communication lapses. This study has employed an integrative literature review method to appraise the principles underlying effective health communication, the communication approaches of the NHIS, and recommended plausible alternatives. Media integration, advocacy campaign, social media, domestications of ICTs, communication in multiple languages, and active involvement of communities in the programme were found to imbibe some practical communication principles that can help improve communications to a target audience.

description: Access to essential healthcare services is limited in Africa, resulting in preventable mortalities. Telemedicine, which can be defined as the use of information and communication technologies in the delivery of healthcare services, is applied in various fields of medicine and at multiple times. Some telemedicine projects have been implemented in different African countries. Some successes were recorded, as well as failures. Despite challenges, such as high cost, that inhibit telemedicine coverage, telemedicine still presents excellent opportunities in increasing access to basic healthcare and expert services. Mobile clinics provide the opportunity to expand access to health services across a region. They can be implemented as an extension of fixed1hospitals that are often situated away from remote villages, serve in the heart of communities, and aid in preventive screenings and epidemiological monitoring. Africa has limited resources but leveraging these existing resources most cost-effectively is key to achieving universal health coverage in the region.

description: The palynological (palynostratigraphical/palynofacies) analysis of samples from the Middle Jurassic outcrop at the Quebrada Álvarez section located in the Neuquén Basin, Patagonia, Argentina, allowed us to begin to evaluate the palaeoecological significance of the recovered palynofloras and their importance in the evolution of these ecosystems, during the transition between the uppermost Cuyo Group and the lowermost Lotena Group. The Lajas Formation, characterised by the palynofacies type A, could be interpreted as a tide-modified delta front environment. The high abundance and diversity of the palynomorphs identified in the studied samples, contribute to improve the palynological knowledge of the Challacó Formation (palynofacies type B − F). Considering the palaeoecological requirements of the recognised plant families, relatively humid and warm climate conditions could be inferred during the deposition of this unit. Also, the ‘seasonally dry (winterwet)’ biome was interpreted for the first time in the Neuquén Basin. Based on selected key taxa a late Bathonian–early Callovian age is proposed for the Challacó Formation at the Quebrada Álvarez section. The palynological material recorded in this unit suggests the development of a lacustrine environment with cycles of relative contraction and expansion of the water body due to fluctuations between relatively dry and wet conditions. The dominance of phytoclasts, mainly opaque particles, and freshwater algae (Botryococcus) in the Bosque Petrificado Formation (palynofacies type G − I) could suggest the development of a freshwater to brackish lacustrine environment. Based on the dominance of the same group of palynomorphs (chlorophyte algae) in the Challacó and Bosque Petrificado formations, similar palaeoenvironmental conditions would be inferred for these units. From a lithofacies analysis point of view, the Challacó and Bosque Petrificado formations show isopic facies associations in the study locality.

description: The use of free and open source software (OSS) is gaining momentum due to the ever increasing availability and use of the Internet. Organizations are also now adopting open source software, despite some reservations, in particular regarding the provision and availability of support. Some of the biggest concerns about free and open source software are post release software defects and their rectification, management of dynamic requirements and support to the users. A common belief is that there is no appropriate support available for this class of software. A contradictory argument is that due to the active involvement of Internet users in online forums, there is in fact a large resource available that communicates and manages the provision of support. The research model of this empirical investigation examines the evidence available to assess whether this commonly held belief is based on facts given the current developments in OSS or simply a myth, which has developed around OSS development. We analyzed a dataset consisting of 1880 open source software projects covering a broad range of categories in this investigation. The results show that online forums play a significant role in managing software defects, implementation of new requirements and providing support to the users in open source software and have become a major source of assistance in maintenance of the open source projects.

description: Universal health coverage is defined as ensuring that all people have access to needed health services of sufficient quality to be effective while ensuring that these services do not expose the user the financial hardship. Universal health coverage includes three related objectives: equity in access to health services (everyone who needs services should get them, not only those who can pay for them); the quality of health services should be good enough to improve the health of those receiving services; and people should be protected against financial risk, ensuring that the cost of using services does not put people at risk of financial harm. Africa still has a long way to go to achieve these objectives. Many barriers limit the progress of the African Region towards building the robust health systems needed for universal health coverage. Such barriers include poor infrastructure, high out-of-pocket payments and catastrophic health expenditures, shortages and inequitable distribution of qualified healthcare workers, poor quality of care delivery, high cost of quality medicines, and lack of innovative technologies appropriate to the range of settings where care is delivered, health financing and governance. This paper aims to propose innovative strategies that could be applied to improve health systems in the Africa Region, which progress towards the continent attaining universal health coverage.

description: Seismic images of oceanic thermohaline finestructure record vertical displacements from internal waves and turbulence over large sections at unprecedented horizontal resolution. Where reflections follow isopycnals, their displacements can be used to estimate levels of turbulence dissipation, by applying the Klymak-Moum slope spectrum method. However, many issues must be considered when using seismic images for estimating turbulence dissipation, especially sources of random and harmonic noise. This study examines the utility of seismic images for estimating turbulence dissipation in the ocean, using synthetic modeling and data from two field surveys, from the South China Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean, including the first comparison of turbulence estimates from seismic images and from vertical shear. Realistic synthetic models that mimic the spectral characteristics of internal waves and turbulence show that reflector slope spectra accurately reproduce isopycnal slope spectra out to horizontal wavenumbers of ~0.04 cpm, corresponding to horizontal wavelengths of 25 m. Using seismic reflector slope spectra requires recognition and suppression of shot-generated harmonic noise and restriction of data to frequency bands with signal-to-noise ratios greater than about 4. Calculation of slope spectra directly from Fourier transforms of the seismic data is necessary to determine the suitability of a particular dataset to turbulence estimation from reflector slope spectra. Turbulence dissipation estimated from seismic reflector displacements compares well to those from 10-m shear determined by coincident expendable current profiler (XCP) data, demonstrating that seismic images can produce reliable estimates of turbulence dissipation in the ocean, provided that random noise is minimal and harmonic noise is removed.

description: Τα άλατα αποτελούν έναν από τις κυριότερους παράγοντες φθοράς των τοιχογραφιών, αλλά και ένα από τα δυσεπίλυτα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζει ο συντηρητής. Η πολυπλοκότητα του μηχανισμού σχηματισμού των αλάτων σε συνάρτηση με τη συνεχή μεταφορά τους στο εσωτερικό μιας τοιχογραφίας, καθιστούν το φαινόμενο ακόμη και σήμερα αρκετά δύσκολο να εξηγηθεί απολύτως, όσον αφορά τη δράση και τη φθορά που αυτό επιφέρει. Ωστόσο, κάτι τέτοιο, πρακτικά δεν έχει σταθεί εμπόδιο όσον αφορά την αφαίρεσή τους. Εδώ και αρκετές δεκαετίες, οι συντηρητές μέσα από τον συνεχή πειραματισμό και την δοκιμή ολοένα και περισσότερων υλικών και μέσων, έχουν καταφέρει να εφαρμόσουν και να εδραιώσουν μία σειρά μεθόδων για την αντιμετώπιση του φαινομένου. Οι μέθοδοι αυτές περιλαμβάνουν τη χρήση διαλυτών ή αντιδραστηρίων σε συνδυασμό με διάφορους φορείς εφαρμογής (χαρτοπολτό, γέλες κλπ.). Το συγκεκριμένο πεδίο είναι συνεχώς εξελισσόμενο και όσο η επιστήμη μελετά και ανακαλύπτει ολοένα και περισσότερα στοιχεία για το μηχανισμό ανάπτυξης και δράσης των αλάτων στην τοιχογραφία, τόσο πιο επιτυχημένες μέθοδοι θα ανακαλύπτονται για την αφαίρεσή τους. Μέσα από τη μελέτη της σχετικής βιβλιογραφίας, αυτή η πτυχιακή εργασία καλείται να συνοψίσει αυτές τις μεθόδους, να τις παρουσιάσει, να εντοπίσει τους περιορισμούς τους και τα πεδία για μελλοντική έρευνα.

description: The citations to a set of academic articles are typically unevenly shared, with many articles attracting few citations and few attracting many. It is important to know more precisely how citations are distributed in order to help statistical analyses of citations, especially for sets of articles from a single discipline and a small range of years, as normally used for research evaluation. This article fits discrete versions of the power law, the lognormal distribution and the hooked power law to 20 different Scopus categories, using citations to articles published in 2004 and ignoring uncited articles. The results show that, despite its popularity, the power law is not a suitable model for collections of articles from a single subject and year, even for the purpose of estimating the slope of the tail of the citation data. Both the hooked power law and the lognormal distributions fit best for some subjects but neither is a universal optimal choice and parameter estimates for both seem to be unreliable. Hence only the hooked power law and discrete lognormal distributions should be considered for subject-and-year-based citation analysis in future and parameter estimates should always be interpreted cautiously.

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to global health security and may reverse the gains in preventive medicine. This is worsened by the fact that development of resistance out-paces that of new antimicrobials. The factors driving the development of AMR range from health systems to socio-economic and environmental factors. These include poor antimicrobial stewardship, poor access to quality drugs, prescribing antimicrobials without susceptibility laboratory tests, use of antimicrobials in crop, animal production and aquaculture farming. Others are lack of coordinated medical and veterinary health systems strengthening, poor universal health coverage and practice of one health. The burden of the problem is of public health importance especially in Africa where there is high incidence of poverty, high incidence of out-of-pocket health expenditure, lack of basic social amenities and weak health systems with poor collaboration. The impact of AMR includes increased burden on the healthcare system, hospital admission, cost of patient treatment, poor clinical outcomes and impact on food security, among others. In view of the interplay of various systems and factors in the development and emergence of AMR, there is need for multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary approach at global, regional, national and local levels for its prevention and mitigation. Strengthening of health systems from the medical and veterinary perspectives and universal health coverage are critical in the fight against AMR. The relevant stakeholders include political leaders, community leaders, health professionals, academics, and research institutions, federal and state ministries of health, agriculture, education and Nongovernmental organisations among others.

description: In 1937, the Swedish palynologist Gunnar Erdtman (1897–1973) mounted two adapted vacuum cleaners atop an ocean-going liner and set out to obtain air samples as he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The devices were able to capture samples of airborne pollen which were related to air volume and distance from land. The results of this investigation are still cited in the scientific literature, but a study of some overlooked publications demonstrates that the ocean study had land-based antecedents. Furthermore, archival investigation reveals the background to such studies, including the technical plans for Erdtman’s ‘aerosol collector’, records of raw data from the voyage, draft portions of the key publication, photographs and the precise location of the land-based equipment. A storage loft in the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm has been found to house the surviving aerosol collector.
