 TYPE. — New Caledonia. South Province, Dumbéa, Montagne des Sources Nature Reserve, Neocallitropsis plateau, 745 m, 21.IX.2016, Thouvenot NC2329 (holo-, PC [PC 0786119]!; iso-, author’s private herbarium).
ILLUSTRATIONS AND DESCRIPTION. — Thouvenot (2018).
 DISTRIBUTION IN NEW CALEDONIA. — M. panduraefolium was collected in two remote massifs, separated each other by 75 km and from Mt Humboldt, the locality of the nearest other aristate Macromitrium, by respectively 47 and 33 km. Therefore, this species is also candidate to micro-endemic status.
TOTAL RANGE. — Endemic to New Caledonia, only known from two localities in South Province.
 SELECTED SPECIMENS (PARATYPES). — New Caledonia. Province Sud, Boulouparis, Mt Do, corticolous, on the bark at the basis of a dead Araucaria sp.; wet forest in an ultramafic massif; altitude 990 m; coordinates 21°45’S, 165°59’E; 15.IX.2016, L.

Thouvenot NC2334, NC2386 (PC0786118!).   DESCRIPTION
 Macromitrium panduraefolium is characterized by: 1) small branches fusiform, with leaves spirally appressed in dry condition, erect when moist; 2) costae of the vegetative and perichaetial leaves excurrent in conspicuous hyaline aristae; 3) branch leaves oblong-ligulate constricted at middle, rounded to obtuse or truncate at apex; 4) upper cells relatively large with thick bulging external walls and small acute papillae; 5) basal cells linear, all or most smooth, with straight lumina; and 6) exserted capsules with medium sized setae.
 It may be separated from Macromitrium rufipilum by its smaller size in all features, branch habit in dry condition and original branch leaf outline.
 Macromitrium panduraefolium is corticolous, the specimens were collected on the bark of endemic gymnosperms of the genera Dacrydium and Araucaria in mountain scrublands and wet forests on medium elevation ridges, 745-990 m a.s.l., in ultramafic massifs.

title: Electrification and industrial development in Indonesia.

description: Economists and policymakers have long believed that access to electricity is essential for industrial development, and ultimately growth. Despite this consensus, there is limited evidence of this relationship. In this thesis, I ask whether electrification causes industrial development. I study the effect of the extensive margin of electrification (grid expansion) on the extensive margin of industrial development (firm entry and exit). I combine newly digitized data from the Indonesian state electricity company with rich manufacturing census data. To deal with endogenous grid placement, I build a hypothetical transmission grid based on colonial incumbent infrastructure and geography. The main instrumental variable is the distance to this hypothetical grid. I examine the effect of electrification on local industrial development. To understand when and how electrification can cause industrial development, I shed light on an important economic mechanism - firm turnover. I find that electrification causes industrial development, represented by an increase in the number of manufacturing firms, manufacturing workers, and output. Electrification
 increases firm entry rates, but also exit rates. Overall, electrification creates new industrial activity, as opposed to reorganizing it across space. I then evaluate the impact of electrification on firm-level performance. I find that connected firms are larger, more likely to exit, and younger. This is consistent with higher turnover at the market level. I look at the implications of the previous results on industry productivity. Higher turnover rates lead to higher average productivity and induce reallocation towards more productive firms. This is consistent with electrification lowering entry costs, increasing competition and forcing unproductive firms to exit more often. Without the possibility of entry or competitive effects of entry, the effects of electrification are likely to be smaller. I use detailed product-level production data to structurally estimate a quantity-based production function, which when combined with price data, allows me to estimate marginal cost. Electrification substantially reduces the cost of production of existing products and their prices. While mark-ups don’t change for incumbent firm-product pairs, the average markup increases in the market. This is due to a selection effect where products produced post access have higher mark-ups. These products are "new" and are more likely to be differentiated.
Making housing, shaping old age: industry engagement in older persons housing

description: The range of housing options that could serve a longer-living society has not developed to respond to the changes of the past half-century. These changes include more fluid family structures, growing cities, increased mobility of people and capital, an ageing population, and changing expectations and beliefs about old age and aged care. Housing is fundamental to people's physical and emotional wellbeing as they age. It also takes on importance in terms of social and economic policy. In Australia, home ownership acts as the 'fourth pillar' of retirement income. The premise in this study is that it is necessary to understand in depth how actor groups shape housing problems and solutions for an ageing population within these continually reproduced housing-and-ageing systems.

The retirement housing industry delivers housing options explicitly for older people and provides a valuable case study for understanding how housing-and-ageing problems are defined and redefined, and solutions proposed. The research tells the story of a transforming 'cottage industry', restructured through the entry of investment capital and currently expanding into the commercial opportunities of old age and aged care. The research involved interviews with industry representatives and examinations of policy and industry documents, including submissions and testimony to a 2016-17 Victorian state government inquiry into the sector.

The study found that, beyond producing housing, the major actors in this industry have contributed to shaping the meanings and expectations of old age. After decades of promoting independent lifestyles in older age, retirement housing providers are redefining their business models. They are offering broad support and proposing a role extending beyond the 'third age' of fulfilment into the 'fourth age' characterised by increased dependency. They are also involved in the politics of housing, actively reframing economic concerns about the ageing population as a problem of 'housing mismatch' and proposing a housing supply solution. How actor groups define problems, shape meanings and propose solutions has implications for the equitable ageing of individuals and the resilience of ageing and housing systems.

This research provides a detailed empirical description of an under-researched housing option that has been clouded by pre-existing assumptions about ageing. It progresses a methodological approach to studying housing industry actor groups and their participation in shaping problems. It contributes a deeper conceptual understanding of the ways in which ideas about housing-and-ageing intersect in policy and industry practice. While focused on retirement housing, the thesis addresses these questions to enable theorisation beyond the case study, with relevance to ageing in home-owning societies more generally.
Looking beyond traditional bibliotherapy: a new view

description: For the purposes of this research, bibliotherapy is defined as using books to help people deal with psychological, social and emotional challenges. Traditional bibliotherapy, as used with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is a well-established therapeutic intervention within clinical settings where health professionals prescribe reading non-fiction self-help books to help people deal with psychological, social and emotional issues. This research looks beyond the traditional use of non-fiction texts within CBT in clinical settings, to creative bibliotherapy, which is facilitated by non-clinical practitioners using literary texts in community-based group settings to promote wellbeing. An objective of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the separate 'biblio' and 'therapy' elements to better understand how the relationship between them can be developed and applied by facilitators to support the wellbeing of people participating in creative bibliotherapy sessions. This study focuses on the perceptions of non-clinical facilitators who have undergone creative bibliotherapy training and subsequent program delivery. This study contributes to the body of knowledge of the importance of the role of the facilitator in bibliotherapy.

United Kingdom and Australian health guidelines, Better mental health for all: a public health approach to mental health improvement (Regan et al., 2016) and The Victorian public health and wellbeing plan 2019-2023 (Victoria Government, 2019), are positioning the promotion of wellbeing at the core of government health policies. In these policies, community-based programming is identified as a significant way to promote wellbeing, through services that focus on fostering community engagement within community settings. This current study suggests that suitably trained creative bibliotherapy facilitators may promote wellbeing by providing opportunities for people to make meaningful connections within communities and to engage with literature to support the development of a more positive state of mind.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted focusing on the experiences of facilitators who had undertaken creative bibliotherapy training, and an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach used to consider the effectiveness of the training in preparing them to deliver bibliotherapy. Analysis of the interview data has revealed the need to include 'biblio' and 'therapy' more equally than in past delivery of bibliotherapy - where books were the primary focus - in order to help maximise the wellbeing of people participating.

description: Background: Benchmarking international cancer survival differences is necessary to evaluate and improve healthcare systems. Our aim was to assess the potential regional differences in outcomes among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) participating in international randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Design: Countries were grouped into 11 regions according to the World Health Organization and the EUROCARE model. Meta-analyses based on individual patient data were used to synthesize data across studies and regions and to conduct comparisons for outcomes in a two-stage random-effects model after adjusting for age, sex, performance status, and time period. We used mCRC patients enrolled in the first-line RCTs from the ARCAD database, which provided enrolling country information. There were 21,509 patients in 27 RCTs included across the 11 regions. Results: Main outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Compared with other regions, patients from the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland were proportionaly over-represented, older, with higher performance status, more frequently male, and more commonly not treated with biological therapies. Cohorts from central Europe and the United States (USA) had significantly longer OS compared with those from UK and Ireland (p = 0.0034 and p < 0.001, respectively), with median difference of 3–4 months. The survival deficits in the UK and Ireland cohorts were, at most, 15% at 1 year. No evidence of a regional disparity was observed for PFS. Among those treated without biological therapies, patients from the UK and Ireland had shorter OS than central Europe patients (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Significant international disparities in the OS of cohorts of mCRC patients enrolled in RCTs were found. Survival of mCRC patients included in RCTs was consistently lower in the UK and Ireland regions than in central Europe, southern Europe, and the USA, potentially attributed to greater overall population representation, delayed diagnosis, and reduced availability of therapies.

description: The scholarly research community has come to depend on a series of open identifier and metadata infrastructure systems to great success. But there is one piece of the infrastructure that is missing – there currently is no open, stakeholder-governed infrastructure for research organization identifiers and their associated metadata. Therefore, after extensive community consultation, ROR was launched

The scope of ROR

The Affiliation Use Case is the main focus: proper description of relationships between contributors, contributions, research sponsors, publishers, and employers. For the purposes of the open registry, “affiliation” describes any formal relationship between a researcher and an organization associated with researchers, including their employer, educator, funder, scholarly society, etc., and is not limited to employment.

Who is ROR for?

There are several potential users of organization identifiers for each sector in the research community. In addition to organizational authorities, there are organizational users, as well as researchers, software developers, and people who are researching organizations. ROR will provide means for public view of record data, both UIand API. In addition, there will be an administrative interface for customer support purposes.

description: This study aims to study the pathogenic microorganisms in descending necrotizing mediastinitis infections caused by maxillofacial space infections by metagenome sequencing.The patients included in this study (n=29) with oral maxillofacial and cervical multiple space infections combined with descending necrotizing mediastinitis were admitted. The maxillofacial space infection of the included patients was the cause of the mediastinal infections. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed, including patients' gender, age, smoking history, alcohol history, diabetes history, blood routine, and other blood biochemical indexes. In addition, metagenome sequencing was used to examine the pus in the space space of maxillofacial infection. The test results of both methods were analyzed and compared, including Alpha diversity, Beta diversity, detection of anaerobic parthenogenic anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, and relative species abundance of pathogenic bacteria.

description: Support is a fundamental requirement of the West-Life VRE. Documentation and support material both improve the user experience of software-based services such as those provided through the West-Life VRE, and feed back into improvements in the quality of the software. Both of these improvements have consequent impacts on user satisfaction, user outcome from the service, and the penetration of the service within the structural biology community and beyond.

Within West-Life, the support available is organised into a help desk. Users accessing the help desk can quickly and simply access the support they require for any West-Life tool/service from a single location.

The help desk has been evolving throughout the West-Life project to integrate new features such as a search of support material. The help desk has also expanded to add support for the new tools/services developed and added to the West-Life catalogue.

This deliverable is an update on the activities of the help desk. Following from the initial report on the activities of the help desk, this deliverable provides an updated list of all support material available for West-Life portals and documents the new pages, new features and changes to the West-Life website which develop and improve the help desk. A recent user survey suggests that users are generally satisfied with the ease of use of West-Life tools/services which may be attributable to the quality and availability of support through the help desk.

The sustainability of the help desk and support materials for individual tools and services is considered and a plan for the sustainability of the help materials is put forward to explain how user support will continue beyond the West-Life project.

description: Inflammation is a marker of arterial disease stemming from cholesterol-dependent to -independent molecular mechanisms. In recent years, the role of inflammation in atherogenesis has been underpinned by pharmacological approaches targeting systemic inflammation that have led to a significant reduction in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Although the use of nutraceuticals to prevent CVD has largely focused on lipid-lowering (e.g, red-yeast rice and omega-3 fatty acids), there is growing interest and need, especially now in the time of coronavirus pandemic, in the use of nutraceuticals to reduce inflammatory markers, and potentially the inflammatory CVD burden, however, there is still not enough evidence to confirm this. Indeed, diet is an important lifestyle determinant of health and can influence both systemic and vascular inflammation, to varying extents, according to the individual nutraceutical constituents. Thus, the aim of this Position Paper is to provide the first attempt at recommendations on the use of nutraceuticals with effective anti-inflammatory properties.

description: The use of video and music as an intrinsic, dissociative attentional stimulus during exercise is thought to distract from the physical discomfort of exercise, and contribute to improved exercise adherence; however, the effects of video-based feedback and engagement during pedaling on exercise performance and motivation are poorly understood. The aims of the present study were twofold. Firstly, to develop a novel video-based engagement regime for pedaling that links pedaling cadence with the play rate of a video, and secondly, to employ an instrumented pedaling device to assess the influence of the video engagement paradigm on cadence performance and exercise motivation. Eighteen healthy subjects participated in 15-min-duration pedaling sessions while targeting a specific low cadence (60 rotations per minute) and high cadence (100 rotations per minute), including pedaling with the provision of (i) target pedaling cadence information only, (ii) visual feedback on cadence control, including pedaling duration, pedaling cadence, and cadence deviation from target, and (iii) real-time engagement, which involved pedaling at the target speed to maintain the playback rate of a pre-recorded video. Cadence deviation from the target was evaluated, and self-reported exercise motivation examined with a post-exercise survey. Pedaling-cadence deviations significantly reduced with cadence feedback at both low and high cadence (p < 0.05). Participants reported enjoying feedback and video-based engagement during pedaling, with 83% of participants feeling that engagement motivated them to perform pedaling-based exercise. In conclusion, real-time cadence control feedback and video-based engagement during pedaling for healthy individuals may improve performance in targeted pedaling tasks. Through dissociation from the physical cues associated with exercise and fatigue, feedback and engagement may ultimately increase enjoyment and exercise compliance and adherence of pedaling-based exercise. The findings may be useful in prescription and maintenance of targeted pedaling exercises for stroke rehabilitation and exercise therapy.
A meshfree radial point interpolation method for free vibration of laminated composite plates analysis based on layerwise theory

description: A meshfree radial point interpolation method for free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates is presented in this paper. The idea approach bases on integrating a layerwise theory with the RPIM shape function constructed by the modified Gaussian function. In the layerwise theory, proposed by Ferreira A.J.M. [1] in 2005, the displacement field is assumed first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) with independent rotations in each layer, and imposed displacement continuity at contact position of the layers interfaces. Hereby, that easily improves the accuracy of transverse shear stresses and the using of shear correction factors is not required. The high performances of present method are considered by investigating characteristic properties of laminated composite through numerical examples. The obtained results are discussed and compared with other previous solutions in the literature.

description: Background: Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people experience dementia at a rate three to five times higher than the general Australian population. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) have a critical role to play in recognising symptoms of cognitive impairment, facilitating timely diagnosis of dementia, and managing the impacts of dementia. Little is known about the barriers and enablers to Aboriginal people receiving a timely dementia diagnosis and appropriate care once diagnosed. This study aims to explore, from the perspective of healthcare providers in the ACCHS sector across urban, regional and remote communities, the barriers and enablers to the provision of dementia diagnosis and care. Methods: A qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with staff members working in the ACCHS sector. Aboriginal Health Workers, General Practitioners, nurses, practice or program managers, and Chief Executive Officers were eligible to participate. Consenting ACCHS staff completed a telephone interview administered by a trained interviewer. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Sixteen staff from 10 ACCHSs participated. Most participants perceived their communities had a limited understanding of dementia. Symptoms of dementia were usually noticed by the GP or another healthcare worker at the ACCHS who had an ongoing relationship with the person. Most participants reported that their service had established referral pathways with either hospital-based geriatricians, geriatricians located with aged care assessment teams, or specialists who visited communities periodically. Key enablers to high quality dementia care included the use of routine health assessments as a mechanism for diagnosis; relationships within communities to support diagnosis and care; community and family relationships; comprehensive and holistic care models; and the use of tailored visual resources to support care. Key barriers to high quality care included: denial and stigma; dementia being perceived as a low priority health condition; limited community awareness and understanding of dementia; lack of staff education and training about dementia; and numerous gaps in service delivery. Conclusions: Substantially increased investments in supporting best-practice diagnosis and management of dementia in Aboriginal communities are required. ACCHSs have key strengths that should be drawn upon in developing solutions to identified barriers to care.

description: Jockey injuries are common in professional horse-racing and can result in life-threatening or career-ending outcomes. Robust injury data are essential to understand the circumstances of injury occurrence and ultimately identify prevention opportunities. This study aimed to identify jockey injury surveillance practices of international horse-racing authorities (HRAs) and the specific data items collected and reported by each HRA. A cross-sectional survey of representatives (e.g. Chief Medical Officer) from international HRAs was conducted. An online and paper questionnaire was designed comprised of 32 questions. Questions considered the barriers and facilitators to data collection within each HRA, and where available, what data were collected and reported by HRAs. Representatives from 15 international racing jurisdictions were included, of which 12 reported collection of race day injuries or falls, using varied definitions of medical attention and time loss. Six HRAs did not have a definition for a jockey injury, and eight HRAs had no parameters for describing injury severity. Race day exposure was collected by two HRAs. Results were commonly presented by HRAs as the number of injuries (n = 9/15) or proportion of injured jockeys (n = 6/15). The lack of a designated role for collection, collation and reporting of data was the main barrier for injury surveillance. Twelve HRAs agreed that mandatory collection would be a strong facilitator to improving practice. Enhancement and standardization of international jockey injury surveillance is required to move forward with evidence informed prevention. Concurrent investigation of how reporting practices can be best supported within existing HRA structures is recommended.

description: Purpose: To report patient-reported outcomes (PROs) derived from the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck (FACT-HN) tool, in patients with oropharynx cancer (OPC) treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in the context of first-course irradiation. Materials and Methods: Patients with locally advanced OPC treated with radical IMPT between 2011 and 2018 were included in a prospective registry. FACT-HN scores were measured serially during and 24 months following IMPT. PRO changes in the FACT-HN scores over time were assessed with mixed-model analysis. Results: Fifty-seven patients met inclusion criteria. Median age was 60 years (range, 41-84), and 91% had human papillomavirus-associated disease. In total, 28% received induction chemotherapy and 68% had concurrent chemotherapy. Compliance to FACT-HN questionnaire completion was 59%, 48%, and 42% at 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment, respectively. The mean FACT-General (G), FACT-Total, and FACT-Trial Outcome Index (TOI) score changes were statistically and clinically significant relative to baseline from week 3 of treatment up to week 2 after treatment. Nadir was reached at week 6 of treatment for all scores, with maximum scores dropping by 15%, 20%, and 39% compared to baseline for FACT-G, FACT-Total, and FACT-TOI, respectively. Subdomain scores of physical well-being, functional well-being, and head and neck additional concerns decreased from baseline during treatment and returned to baseline at week 4 after treatment. Conclusions: IMPT was associated with a favorable PRO trajectory, characterized by an acute decline followed by rapid recovery to baseline. This study establishes the expected acute, subacute, and chronic trajectory of PROs for patients undergoing IMPT for OPC.

description: Acquired PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance in BRCA1- or BRCA2-mutant ovarian cancer often results from secondary mutations that restore expression of functional protein. RAD51C is a less commonly studied ovarian cancer susceptibility gene whose promoter is sometimes methylated, leading to homologous recombination (HR) deficiency and PARPi sensitivity. For this study, the PARPi-sensitive patient-derived ovarian cancer xenograft PH039, which lacks HR gene mutations but harbors RAD51C promoter methylation, was selected for PARPi resistance by cyclical niraparib treatment in vivo. PH039 acquired PARPi resistance by the third treatment cycle and grew through subsequent treatment with either niraparib or rucaparib. Transcriptional profiling throughout the course of resistance development showed widespread pathway level changes along with a marked increase in RAD51C mRNA, which reflected loss of RAD51C promoter methylation. Analysis of ovarian cancer samples from the ARIEL2 Part 1 clinical trial of rucaparib monotherapy likewise indicated an association between loss of RAD51C methylation prior to on-study biopsy and limited response. Interestingly, the PARPi resistant PH039 model remained platinum sensitive. Collectively, these results not only indicate that PARPi treatment pressure can reverse RAD51C methylation and restore RAD51C expression, but also provide a model for studying the clinical observation that PARPi and platinum sensitivity are sometimes dissociated.

description: Solar cells are a prominent renewable energy source used in the twenty-first century. In order for the technology to grow, research lab equipment is needed to measure and characterizes these cells. This report covers solar simulator devices and proposes an alternative design solution to lessen the cost of solar cell lab equipment. Common household light sources were tested by generating I-V characteristics using an amorphous silicon solar cell. The light bulb that generated the best I-V curve was selected and then tested for the optimal distance between the light source and the solar panel. The alternative solar simulator was then tested at the optimal distance by the generation of I-V characteristics and light spectrum. These results will be compared to an industry-standard solar simulator: the Newport LED Solar Simulator LSH-7320. The experiment conducted in this report and its findings’ intentions are to motivate more research in designing low-cost solar simulators with the hopes of allowing developing countries to start utilizing solar cell technology.

description: Background: Fasting is an unhealthy behavior that has been frequently used as part of weight loss attempts. To date, little research has been conducted to determine the prevalence and substance use and mental health correlates of fasting among college students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and associations between any (≥ 1 time) and regular (≥ 13 times) occurrences of fasting in the past 4 weeks and substance use and mental health correlates among a large sample of college students from 2016 to 2020. Methods: Data from four academic survey years (2016–2020; N = 8255) of the national (USA) Healthy Minds Study were analyzed. Unadjusted prevalence of any and regular fasting by survey year and gender was estimated. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the associations between any and regular fasting and the demographic (age, body mass index, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, highest parental education), substance use (cigarette use, marijuana use, other illicit drug use, alcohol use), and mental health (depression, anxiety, eating disorder symptoms, suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury) correlates. Results: Any fasting in the past 4 weeks was common among both men (14.77%) and women (18.12%) and significantly increased from 2016 (10.30%) to 2020 (19.81%) only among men. Regular fasting significantly increased among both men and women from 2016 (men: 1.46%; women: 1.79%) to 2020 (men: 3.53%; women: 6.19%). Among men and women, both any and regular fasting in the past 4 weeks were associated with higher odds of all mental health symptoms, including a positive depression, anxiety, and eating disorder screen, suicidal ideation, and non-suicidal self-injury. Among women, but not men, any and regular fasting in the past 4 weeks were associated with higher odds of marijuana use and other illicit drug use (e.g., cocaine, ecstasy). Conclusions: The results from this study underscore both the high and increasing prevalence of fasting among a national sample of college students, as well as the substance use and mental health symptoms associated with this behavior. Healthcare professionals both on and off campus should consider screening for fasting behaviors among college students and provide appropriate intervention when needed.
