description: © 2020 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Restoring degraded landscapes has primarily focused on re-establishing native plant communities. However, little is known with respect to the diversity and distribution of most key revegetation species or the environmental and anthropogenic factors that may affect their demography and genetic structure. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of two widespread Australian legume species (Acacia salicina and Acacia stenophylla) in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB), a large agriculturally utilized region in Australia, and assessed the impact of landscape structure on genetic differentiation. We used AFLP genetic data and sampled a total of 28 A. salicina and 30 A. stenophylla sampling locations across southeastern Australia. We specifically evaluated the importance of four landscape features: forest cover, land cover, water stream cover, and elevation. We found that both species had high genetic diversity (mean percentage of polymorphic loci, 55.1% for A. salicina versus. 64.3% for A. stenophylla) and differentiation among local sampling locations (A. salicina: ΦPT = 0.301, 30%; A. stenophylla: ΦPT = 0.235, 23%). Population structure analysis showed that both species had high levels of structure (6 clusters each) and admixture in some sampling locations, particularly A. stenophylla. Although both species have a similar geographic range, the drivers of genetic connectivity for each species were very different. Genetic variation in A. salicina seems to be mainly driven by geographic distance, while for A. stenophylla, land cover appears to be the most important factor. This suggests that for the latter species, gene flow among populations is affected by habitat fragmentation. We conclude that these largely co-occurring species require different management actions to maintain population connectivity. We recommend active management of A. stenophylla in the MDB to improve gene flow in the adversity of increasing disturbances (e.g., droughts) driven by climate change and anthropogenic factors.

Background Multimorbidity is defined as the co-existence of two or more chronic conditions. As life expectancy is increasing so does the prevalence of multimorbidity. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of multimorbidity in Cyprus and identify the most prevalent diseases. Methods A representative sample of n = 1140 individuals over 18 years old was surveyed during 2018-2019. Demographic characteristics as well as the presence of chronic conditions, including mental disorders, were collected through a standardized questionnaire. Diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10). Results The age and gender standardized prevalence of multimorbidity was 28.6%. Multimorbidity was associated with age (p<0.001), with the highest rate observed among people aged 65+ years old (68.9%). Multimorbidity was higher in women than men (28.2% vs. 22.5%, p < .001) but similar in urban and rural regions (26.4% vs. 23.8%, p = 0.395). The most prevalent chronic diseases among people with multimorbidity were hyperlipidemia (44.7%), followed by hypertension (37.5%), gastric reflux (23.9%), and thyroid diseases (22.2%), while the most common combinations of diseases were in the circulatory and endocrine systems. The profile of the multimorbid individual indicated this to be a person at an older age with a higher BMI, a current smoker with a higher salary. Conclusions More than one quarter of the general population of Cyprus has multimorbidity, and this rate is almost 70% among the elderly. Multimorbidity is relatively common even in younger ages too. This underlines the need for prevention strategies and health awareness programs for the entire population.
title: Die Entwicklung und Erfassung der mathematischen Fähigkeiten im Vorschulalter
Creators: name: Danis, Martina

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der mathematischen Entwicklung im Vorschulalter. Diese wurde für den empirischen Teil mittels des, für den Wiener Entwicklungstest (WET; Kastner-Koller & Deimann, in press) neu konstruierten, Subtests „Rechnen“ erhoben. Die Stichprobe bestand aus 80 4- bis 5-jährigen Kindern, die einen österreichischen Kindergarten besuchten. Es wurden Korrelationen dieses Subtests mit den weiteren Fähigkeitsbereichen, die durch den WET erhoben werden, berechnet. Des Weiteren wurde eine Faktorenanalyse zur Feststellung der Konstruktvalidität gerechnet, sowie eine Reliabilitätsanalyse mitsamt Trennschärfen und Schwierigkeitsindizes der Items des Untertests „Rechnen“. Der Subtest „Rechnen“ wies den höchsten Zusammenhang mit dem Funktionsbereich der Kognitiven Entwicklung auf, welchem dieser auch zugeteilt wird. Ebenfalls hohe Korrelationen zeigten sich zwischen dem Subtest „Rechnen“ und den Funktionsbereichen Sprache, Visuelle Wahrnehmung/Visumotorik und Lernen/Gedächtnis. Die Faktorenanalyse konnte die sechs Funktionsbereiche des WET nicht vollständig reproduzieren, was wahrscheinlich an der geringen Stichprobengröße lag. Die Reliabilitätsanalyse erbrachte für den Subtest „Rechnen“ zufrieden stellende Werte genauso wie die Itemanalysen.
description: The given paper deals with the mathematical development in the preschool age. It was surveyed for the empirical part by the subtest “Rechnen” which was newly designed for the Wiener Entwicklungstest (WET; Kastner-Koller & Deimann, in press). The sample consisted of 80 4- to 5-year-old children who attended an Austrian kindergarten. Correlations of these subtests with further ranges of ability, which were surveyed by the WET, were calculated. Moreover, a factor analysis was generated in order to assess the construct validity, as well as a reliability analysis of the separation effect and difficulty indices of the subtests’ items “Rechenen”. The subtest “Rechnen” showed the strongest coherence with the functional range of the cognitive development to which it is also connected. Further strong coherences were found between the subtest “Rechnen” and the functional range of language, visual sense/visual activity and learning/memory. The factor analysis could not reproduce the six functional ranges of the WET completely, which was probably due to the relatively small amount of samples. The reliability analysis as well as the item analysis provided satisfying results for the subtest “Rechnen”.

 Diagnosis. Antennular peduncle reaching distal margin of antennal peduncle article 4. Maxilliped 3 unknown. Chelipeds meri upper margins each with subproximal spine. Major cheliped merus lower margin with row of teeth; carpus about as long as wide; palm about twice as long as carpus, 1.3 times as long as wide; fingers with cutting edges with obsolete teeth in female, with irregular teeth in male. Uropod endopod 1.2 times as long as wide; anterior margin convex, with 2 distal stout setae; distal-posterior margin strongly convex distally; dorsal face with 3 distal long setae. Uropod exopod widest distally, little longer than wide; anterior margin straight, not setose. Telson 1.15 times as long as wide, widest at strong lateral lobes at one-third length; posterior margin with obtuse medial depression, with medial spine; with 2 pairs of spiniform setae on posterolateral margins. Male pleopod 1 2-articled; pleopod 2 absent.
 Distribution. Western Coral Triangle (known only from type locality: Indonesia, Bali Sea, 7° 46' S, 114° 30.5'E); 330 m.
 Remarks. No material was examined – the species has not been recorded since its discovery. The diagnosis was prepared largely from the description and figures of De Man (1928a). Sakai (1999) observed that the holotype (not lectotype, as he stated) is a male, not a female. The presence of a tooth on maxilliped 3 merus is unknown.

description: © 2020 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved. This paper introduces a methodology for the encoding of rules into a semantic logical format to facilitate the automated reasoning process. We demonstrate how to identify, capture, combine, and thus formulate all the components from rules into a computationally-oriented formalism. The need for the methodology is motivated by the desire for automated reasoning of automated vehicle information regarding traffic rules. We use Defeasible Deontic Logic as a formal foundation of our methodology. The overtaking traffic rule is our use-case to illustrate the usefulness of our methodology. Through this use-case, it is seen that the logical semantic representation of the traffic rules seems conceivable to support automated reasoning. This paper includes the source materials, the use cases, proposed methodology, and the example of encoding.

description: © 2020 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved. We advance an alternative version of the Chisholm Paradox and we argue that the alternative version (while logically equivalent to the original version), in its manifestation in the natural language, is not intuitively consistent. The alternative version of the paradox suggests some requirements for deontic logics designed for legal reasoning.

description: © Copyright © 2020 Newman, Chen, Henderson, Doeven, Francis and Hayne. Four cationic heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes containing a 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) ligand with one or two tetraethylene glycol (TEG) groups attached in the 4 or 4,4′ positions were synthesized to create new water-soluble electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores bearing a convenient point of attachment for the development of ECL-labels. The novel TEG-derivatized bipyridines were incorporated into [Ir(C∧N)2(R-bpy-R′)]Cl complexes, where C∧N = 2-phenylpyridine anion (ppy) or 2-phenylbenzo[d]thiazole anion (bt), through reaction with commercially available ([Ir(C∧N)2(μ-Cl)]2 dimers. The novel [Ir(C∧N)2(Me-bpy-TEG)]Cl and [Ir(C∧N)2(TEG-bpy-TEG)]Cl complexes in aqueous solution largely retained the redox potentials and emission spectra of the parent [Ir(C∧N)2(Me-bpy-Me)]PF6 (where Me-bpy-Me = 4,4′methyl-2,2′-bipyridine) luminophores in acetonitrile, and exhibited ECL intensities similar to those of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and the analogous [Ir(C∧N)2(pt-TEG]Cl complexes (where pt-TEG = 1-(TEG)-4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole). These complexes can be readily adapted for bioconjugation and considering the spectral distributions of [Ir(ppy)2(Me-bpy-TEG)]+ and [Ir(ppy)2(pt-TEG)]+, show a viable strategy to create ECL-labels with different emission colors from the same commercial [Ir(ppy)2(μ-Cl)]2 precursor.

description: © 2020 Liu et al. Background: Sleep affects a wide array of health outcomes and is associated with the quality of life. Among students, sleep quality is affected by school stage and grade; however, data regarding the different sleep-related problems students experience at different school stages are limited. In this study, we aimed to explore sleep quality among a student sample ranging from elementary school to university level. Methods: Overall, data were examined for 9392 subjects aged 9–22 years. Information on sociodemographic characteristics and other variables were collected through selfadministered questionnaires. Sleep quality on school nights was evaluated using the standard Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; global score >5 was classified as poor sleep quality. For the high school sample, logistic regression analysis was used to estimate associations between sleep quality and certain factors. Results: Of the elementary school, middle school, vocational high school, senior high school, and university students, 7.5%, 19.2%, 28.6%, 41.9%, and 28.5%, respectively, showed poor sleep quality. The high school students reported the highest prevalence of shorter sleep duration (70.8%), day dysfunction (84.7%), and subjective poor sleep quality (17.2%). The elementary school students showed the highest prevalence of poor sleep efficiency (17.9%). The university students showed the highest prevalence of sleep medication use (6.4%). The vocational high school students reported the highest prevalence of sleep latency (6.3%) and sleep disturbance (7.4%). Logistic regression modeling indicated that sleep quality is positively associated with school stage, grade, family atmosphere, academic pressure, and number of friends. Conclusion: Sleep quality and sleep features change greatly from elementary school to university. Interventions to improve sleep quality should consider targeting the specific issues students experience at each school stage. Alarmed by the high prevalence of poor sleep quality among high school students, it is recommended that high school students should be informed of their sleep matter and the consequences.

description: © 2020 Public Library of Science. The authors are correcting this article [1] to address queries and errors that were noted following its publication. Updated versions of Table 2 (S1 File) and Table 4 (S2 File) are included here, as errors in the corresponding tables in [1] were identified following publication. In the published article [1], when discussing adverse event outcomes (i.e. side effects), the Fisher’s exact test was used to assess the significance of the difference between the number of subjects that experienced at least one event of a given sign or symptom between groups. All pvalues were found to be non-significant. When a comparison of proportions between groups was performed (Chi-square, N– 1) [2], the authors found no significant differences between groups in the proportion of subjects experiencing at least one event from any sign or symptom (all p > 0.05) (S2 File). However, due to the limited sample sizes only substantial differences in proportions would be expected to be statistically significant in the analyses of adverse event outcomes; the trial was not designed with enough power to determine whether the proportions of adverse events in the two groups were statistically significant. The analysis of adverse events between groups was not a primary or secondary objective of the study. The adverse events were provided as preliminary data for future studies and for added interest to the reader.

Visuospatial processing is a complex process that is vulnerable to bias. Line bisection paradigms are used to help detect the factors that balance left and right hemispatial attention that go beyond the domains of perception and action. For example, studies have indicated the “pseudoneglect” phenomenon in the bisection of horizontally presented lines in healthy subjects. Among the modified versions of the traditional line bisection task is the “Baldwin illusion”. In the Baldwin illusion, the subjective midpoint of a line flanked by squares of different sizes is displaced towards the small square. The goal of the study was two-fold. First, we wanted to investigate whether there is an asymmetry in the Baldwin effect depending on leftward or rightward arrangement of the small square and second whether obesity (as measured by body mass index—BMI) would affect bisection of Baldwin-like flanked lines. Thirty-one healthy, right-handed female subjects (20 normal-weight and 11 overweight) had to repeatedly bisect a horizontal straight line using a series of Baldwin-type stimuli, including a photography of their own and the experimenter’s body. As predicted, this displacement was larger when the small square was on the left end of the line (M = −1.80 mm, SD = 2.71 mm, t = −10.48, p = <0.001) than when it flanked the right end (M = +0.71 mm, SD = 2.90 mm; t = 3.83, p = t = 4.35, p = <0.001). Across all stimulus types (irrespective of the size or type of a flanker), overweight subjects placed the subjective midpoint more leftward than the normal-weight subjects. In 13 out of 16 types the results differed significantly and in the remaining 3 types the tendency was clear (0.074

description: Background: The transformation of the global energy sector from fossil-based fuels to low/non-carbon fuels will reduce environmental pollutant load, which in turn will benefit human health. However, with upscaling of emerging renewable technologies and energy sources, it is important to identify the potential for unintended health impacts, and to understand where the knowledge gaps lie with respect to health. We aimed to identify these gaps by conducting a scoping review. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of Medline, Web of Science, PubMed and EMBASE. We used broad search terms to capture literature associated with energy transitioning to low/non-carbon energy sources or related technologies, combined with terms relevant to measuring or estimating health outcomes/impacts associated with environmental exposures. We included original epidemiological studies, reviews, health impact assessments (HIAs), life cycle assessments (LCAs), and modelling studies that examined health impacts.

description: In this work we investigate a two-phase model for concentrated suspensions. We construct a PDE formulation using a gradient flow structure featuring dissipative coupling between fluid and solid phase as well as different driving forces. Our construction is based on the concept of flow maps that also allows it to account for flows in moving domains with free boundaries. The major difference compared to similar existing approaches is the incorporation of a non-smooth two-homogeneous term to the dissipation potential, which creates a normal pressure even for pure shear flows

 Material examined. Australia. WA, North West Shelf, between Port Hedland and Dampier, 18° 41' S, 118° 39' E, 134 m (MV stn NWA21), NMV J22662 (1 male, 3.8 mm; female, 5.4 mm); 18° 45' S, 118° 24' E, 142 m (MV stn NWA23), MNHN Th1248 (female, 4.0 mm) (det. Ngoc-Ho, 1994). French Polynesia. Raiatea Is., 16° 43.17' S, 151° 25.67' E, 309 m, MNHN Th1434 (female, 7.5 mm).
 Diagnosis. Rostrum sharply carinate dorsally, concave on each side, bulbous ventrally. Maxilliped 3 merus distally truncate, with obtuse mesiodistal angle. Telson trapezoidal, 1.1 times as long as wide.
 Distribution. Western Coral Triangle (type locality: Bali Sea, 7° 46' S, 114° 30.5' E, 330 m – Siboga stn 5), Northwest Australian shelf; 134– 330 m.
 Remarks. De Man (1905) based Callianassa sibogae on a single specimen of cl. 6.8 mm without chelipeds and pereopods 3 and 4 from 330 m in the Bali Sea. He described the rostrum as “lamellar, strongly compressed, with sharp upper edge, acuminate”, tergum of pleomere 1 as “saddle-shaped, carrying on the middle of its wider posterior part a compressed, low tubercle, appearing here thus carinate” and the merus of maxilliped 3 as “quadrangular, shorter than the ischium, somewhat widening anteriorly”. The two specimens from the North West Shelf of Australia determined by Ngoc-Ho (1994) are consistent with this description and De Man’s (1928a) figures. Coriollianassa sibogae is notable for the anteriorly directed rostrum being sharply carinate above and bulbous below and the almost right-angled distomesial margin of maxilliped 3.
The specimen from French Polynesia attributed to this species by Ngoc-Ho (2005) most probably belongs to this species, although critical elements (maxilliped 3, major cheliped) are missing.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Background: Many research studies evaluate physical activity interventions for older people in the community, however relatively few successfully promote maintenance of physical activity beyond the completion of the intervention. This study aimed to implement and evaluate the effects of sustained engagement in physical activity on mental, social and physical health outcomes through the use of the Seniors Exercise Park physical activity program for older people (the ENJOY project). Method: People aged ≥60 years underwent a 12-week structured supervised physical activity program using outdoor exercise park equipment followed by 6 months unstructured independent use of the exercise park. Participants were assessed at baseline, 3 months and 9 months and completed a test battery evaluating physical activity, physical function and health related quality of life measures. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare differences between baseline, 3 and 9 months. Results: Of the 95 participants, 80 (84.2%) completed the 3 months supervised program, and 58 (61%) completed the 9 month assessment (the latter impacted by COVID-19 restrictions). A significant increase in physical activity level was demonstrated following the 12 weeks intervention (p

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Background: Electronic communication is used in various populations to achieve health goals, but evidence in stroke is lacking. We pilot tested the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a novel personalised electronic self-management intervention to support person-centred goal attainment and secondary prevention after stroke. Methods: A phase I, prospective, randomised controlled pilot trial (1:1 allocation) with assessor blinding, intention-to-treat analysis, and a process evaluation. Community-based survivors of stroke were recruited from participants in the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry (AuSCR) who had indicated their willingness to be contacted for research studies. Inclusion criteria include 1–2 years following hospital admission for stroke and living within 50 km of Monash University (Melbourne). Person-centred goals were set with facilitation by a clinician using a standardised template. The intervention group received electronic support messages aligned to their goals over 4 weeks. The control group received only 2–3 electronic administrative messages. Primary outcomes were study retention, goal attainment (assessed using Goal Attainment Scaling method) and satisfaction. Secondary outcomes were self-management (Health Education Impact Questionnaire: 8 domains), quality of life, mood and acceptability. Results: Of 340 invitations sent from AuSCR, 73 responded, 68 were eligible and 57 (84%) completed the baseline assessment. At the goal-setting stage, 54/68 (79%) were randomised (median 16 months after stroke): 25 to intervention (median age 69 years; 40% female) and 29 to control (median age 68 years; 38% female). Forty-five (83%) participants completed the outcome follow-up assessment. At follow-up, goal attainment (mean GAS-T score ≥ 50) in the intervention group was achieved for goals related to function, participation and environment (control: environment only). Most intervention participants provided positive feedback and reported that the iVERVE messages were easy to understand (92%) and assisted them in achieving their goals (77%). We found preliminary evidence of non-significant improvements between the groups for most self-management domains (e.g. social integration and support: β coefficient 0.34; 95% CI − 0.14 to 0.83) and several quality-of-life domains in favour of the intervention group. Conclusion: These findings support the need for further randomised effectiveness trials of the iVERVE program to be tested in people with new stroke. Trial registration: ANZCTR, ACTRN12618001519246.

description: Immunotherapies and targeted therapies have revolutionised treatment of metastatic melanoma and improved survival rates. However, survivors treated with novel therapies are vulnerable to high levels of fear of cancer recurrence or progression (FCR). Existing FCR interventions have rarely been trialled in people with advanced cancer. The current study aimed to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of Fear-Less: a stepped-care model to treat FCR in people with metastatic melanoma treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Sixty-one outpatients with metastatic melanoma were screened using the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory Short Form (FCRI-SF) and Fear of Progression Questionnaire Short Form (FoP-Q-SF). Survivors with subthreshold FCR were stratified to a self-management intervention while those with clinical levels of FCR were provided with an individual therapy, Conquer Fear. Survivor experience surveys and rescreening were administered post-intervention completion. Results indicated that Fear-Less was an acceptable and feasible FCR intervention. Results provided preliminary support for the potential impact of Fear-Less in reducing FCR. Fear-Less is a promising first step in providing an acceptable and feasible stepped-care model to treat FCR in survivors with metastatic disease.

description: © 2020 The Authors. The FASEB Journal published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with the FMR1 premutation. It is currently unknown when, and if, individual premutation carriers will develop FXTAS. Thus, with the aim of identifying biomarkers for early diagnosis, development, and progression of FXTAS, we performed global metabolomic profiling of premutation carriers (PM) who, as part of an ongoing longitudinal study, emerged into two distinct categories: those who developed symptoms of FXTAS (converters, CON) at subsequent visits and those who did not (non-converters, NCON) and we compared to age-matched healthy controls (HC). We assessed CGG repeat allele size by Southern Blot and PCR analysis. Metabolomic profile was obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography, accurate mass spectrometer, and an Orbitrap mass analyzer. In this study we found 47 metabolites were significantly dysregulated between HC and the premutation groups (PM). Importantly, we identified 24 metabolites that showed significant changes in expression in the CON as compared to the NCON both at V1 and V2, and 70 metabolites in CON as compared to NCON but only at V2. These findings suggest the potential role of the identified metabolites as biomarkers for early diagnosis and for FXTAS disease progression, respectively. Interestingly, the majority of the identified metabolites were lipids, followed by amino acids. To our knowledge, this the first report of longitudinal metabolic profiling and identification of unique biomarkers of FXTAS. The lipid metabolism and specifically the sub pathways involved in mitochondrial bioenergetics, as observed in other neurodegenerative disorders, are significantly altered in FXTAS.

description: Studying the breast cancer survival genes information will help to enhance the treatment and save more patients life by identifying the gene biomarkers to recommend the proper treatment type. That is why it is now a great challenge for researchers to have more research on breast cancer especially with the significant enhancement in the fields of bioinformatics, data mining, and machine learning techniques which were a new revolution in the cancer treatment.

A dataset contains the survival information and treatments methods for 1980 female breast cancer patient are used for building the prediction model, the gene expression is the features of the learning model, where the combination of the survival and treatments information are the classes. A hierarchical model that consists of hybrid feature selection and classification method are utilized to differentiate a class from the rest of the classes.

The results show that a few number of gene biomarkers (gene signature) at each node which can determine the class with accuracy around 99% for survival living / deceased based on treatments which are vital to ensure that the patients will have the best potential response to a specific therapy. These signatures will be used as a predictor of survival in breast cancer.

description: © Copyright © 2020 Napoli, McLennan, Schneider, Tassone, Hagerman and Giulivi. The X-linked FMR1 premutation (PM) is characterized by a 55–200 CGG triplet expansion in the 5′-untranslated region (UTR). Carriers of the PM were originally thought to be asymptomatic; however, they may present general neuropsychiatric manifestations including learning disabilities, depression and anxiety, among others. With age, both sexes may also develop the neurodegenerative disease fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Among carriers, females are at higher risk for developing immune disorders, hypertension, seizures, endocrine disorders and chronic pain, among others. Some female carriers younger than 40 years old may develop fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI). To date, no studies have addressed the metabolic footprint – that includes mitochondrial metabolism – of female carriers and its link to clinical/cognitive manifestations. To this end, we performed a comprehensive biochemical assessment of 42 female carriers (24–70 years old) compared to sex-matched non-carriers. By applying a multivariable correlation matrix, a generalized bioenergetics impairment was correlated with diagnoses of the PM, FXTAS and its severity, FXPOI and anxiety. Intellectual deficits were strongly correlated with both mitochondrial dysfunction and with CGG repeat length. A combined multi-omics approach identified a down-regulation of RNA and mRNA metabolism, translation, carbon and protein metabolism, unfolded protein response, and up-regulation of glycolysis and antioxidant response. The suboptimal activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) response challenges and further compromises the PM genetic background to withstand other, more severe forms of stress. Mechanistically, some of the deficits were linked to an altered protein expression due to decreased protein translation, but others seemed secondary to oxidative stress originated from the accumulation of either toxic mRNA or RAN-derived protein products or as a result of a direct toxicity of accumulated metabolites from deficiencies in critical enzymes.

description: The number of alien species introduced and undergoing range expansion in novel environments is steadily increasing, with important consequences for native ecosystems. The efficacy of management planning and decision making to limit such invasions can be improved by understanding how interventions will impact the population dynamics of recently introduced species. To do so, here we expand on a typological framework that enables the classification of populations over time into 10 categories of commonness, and apply it to a spatially discrete metapopulation with heterogeneous abundance across spatial units (patches). We use this framework to assess the effect of cross-boundary management on the capacity of a metapopulation with different demographic and dispersal characteristics, including time lags in population growth, to become common. We demonstrate this framework by simulating a simple theoretical metapopulation model capable of exploring a range of environments, species characteristics, and management actions. Management can vary in the efficacy of propagule interception between patches, and in the synchronisation of the implementation of these measures across patches (i.e. if management is implemented simultaneously across patches). Simulations show that poor interception efficacy that only modestly reduces the number of propagules entering a given spatial unit cannot be compensated for by strong management synchronisation between spatial units. Management synchronisation will nonetheless result in a reduction in rates of spread once a critical threshold of interception efficacy has been met. Finally, time lags in population growth that may result in delayed spread are an important aspect to be considered in management as they can amplify the efficacy of management. Our results demonstrate how a typological framework of categories of commonness can be used to provide practical insights for the management of biological invasions.

description: Objective:Technology is continuing to shape the way we collect health data, including data on alcohol use. A number of technologies are being developed to objectively measure intoxication 'in the wild' without relying on self-report; the most immediate solution may be the use of personal breathalysers. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a cost-effective personal breathalyser would perform in a similar manner to a device used for roadside breath testing. Method:We intercepted young adults (n = 337; 45% men) outside three concerts, administered 5-min interviews, and asked for breath samples on two devices (a personal breathalyser and a police-grade breathalyser). Results:Participants reported having consumed an average of 7.3 standard drinks before the interview and had a mean Blood Alcohol Content of 0.077 g/dl on the police-grade device and 0.085 g/dl on the personal device. Difference scores suggested the personal breathalyser was more likely to over report Blood Alcohol Content (bias = 0.008 g/dl). Conclusion:Although the personal device was more likely to over report Blood Alcohol Content compared with the police-grade device, the results suggest that personal devices could be used as a measure of Blood Alcohol Content when collecting data outside of the lab.
