description: Although today there is ample evidence that biodiversity is affected by agricultural land use intensification, little is known about how species respond to different land use intensity gradients at landscape scale. To properly describe the relationship between biodiversity and land use intensity, intensity indicators need to account for land cover, management intensity, and be assessed at landscape scale. The study was conducted in 91 landscapes of 1 km2 in Switzerland. Three different land use intensity indicators were calculated: indicator 1 was defined as the ratio between agricultural and natural area; indicator 2 as the ratio between arable land and permanent grassland; and indicator 3 as the ratio between agricultural area and biodiversity promotion areas (BPA, i.e. wildlife-friendly managed areas under Swiss agri-environment schemes). Species richness and abundance of birds and butterflies were used as biodiversity indicators and trait-based community indices were used to describe bird community changes. Overall, we found that birds were affected by landscape composition and agricultural management, while butterflies were mainly affected by agricultural management. Specifically, from natural (e.g. forest dominated) to agriculture-dominated landscape, bird species richness showed a sharp decrease when 80% or more of the landscape was farmed. Butterfly species richness followed a hump-shaped curve. None of the species groups was significantly correlated with the proportion of arable land versus permanent grassland. Yet species richness of birds and butterflies significantly changed with the proportion of BPA: the lower the proportion of BPA, the lower the observed richness. Finally, when the proportion of agricultural land increased, populations of migratory birds and hedge/tree breeders decreased. We conclude that to further promote farmland biodiversity, natural areas, such as forests, hedges and waterbodies, should cover at least 20% of the agricultural landscapes and the proportion of BPA should be increased.

Cerococcidae

description: Family CEROCOCCIDAE Balachowsky
The Cerococcidae is a family group of five genera containing 83 described species (García Morales et al. 2016). Cerococcids are widespread and mainly occur on the stems of their host-plants. At present, the only cerococcid species recorded from Iran is Antecerococcus longipilosus (Archangelskaya).
Appearance in life: Adult females covered by waxy, protective test; test pyriform, dorsum convex, with surface smooth / rugose / stellate / mottled / checkered or wool-like; tests usually light to dark brown, but a few may be bright orange, yellow, pink, red or white (Lambdin & Kosztarab 1977). The adult females of many cerococcids resemble species of Eriococcus Targioni Tozzetti and Acanthococcus Signoret but, whereas members of these two genera have well-developed legs, cerococcids lack legs apart from short, claw-like stubs in some species (Hodgson & Williams 2016).
Diagnostic characters: Slide-mounted adult female oval to broadly pear-shaped, tapering posteriorly to a pair of elongate anal lobes (Fig. 8A). Derm almost entirely membranous but with a few small areas of sclerotization posteriorly. Antennae (Fig. 8B) reduced, usually to a single stub-like segment. Legs reduced or absent. Eightshaped pores (Fig. 8C) usually present in 1–3 (occasionally 4) sizes on dorsum; in some species, either present throughout most of dorsum, or restricted to around stigmatic pore bands and along body margins. Spiracular disc-pores (Fig. 8D) mainly quinquelocular, extending from venter onto dorsum; posterior spiracular pore bands bifurcate (Fig. 8). Simple pores (Fig. 8E) small and circular, usually frequent on posterior abdominal segments but sometimes very sparse or absent. Multilocular disc-pores (= pregenital disc-pores) (Fig. 8F) mainly each with 10 loculi, either present as complete bands across abdominal segments II–VI, or absent or restricted to a few on each side of each segment in some species. Cribriform plates (Fig. 8G) represented as closed pores, present in dorsal submedial groups. Tubular ducts (Fig. 8H) usually abundant.Abdomen terminating posteriorly with a pair of well-developed anal lobes, these usually sclerotized only along inner margin. Median anal plate (Fig. 8I) (probably a modified cauda) is an approximately triangular sclerotized plate situated immediately dorsad to anal ring. Anal ring (Fig. 8J) located at inner end of anal cleft.
Comments: Antecerococcus longipilosus (Archangelskaya) is the only species of Cerococcidae known from Iran (Kaussari 1957).

A museum collection in a public space

description: The Bródno Sculpture Park is considered a permanent exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. It was inaugurated in June 2009 as a long-term project, involving artists, residents of Bródno district and organized by a public art institution and the local authorities. The initiator, coordinator and artistic supervisor of the whole project is Paweł Althamer, internationally acclaimed Polish artist, known for his community-type projects, who happens to live near the Park. Bródno Sculpture Park project is drawn from different traditions of public art: that derived from minimalism and abstract art, as well as from art of a social, participatory character. The project has been divided into ‘chapters’ – once a year a new sculpture, object or installation appears in the Park. Not all artists’ interventions are material or permanent. ‘Sculpture’ is defined here rather as a kind of dynamic artistic expression about a particular place and time, particular spatial relations and relationships between the people. Among the artists who contributed to the Sculpture Park project are Olafur Eliasson, Jens Haaning, Susan Philipsz and Ai Weiwei. Works located in the park are a part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. A gallery open to the public 24/7 needs proper maintenance. The park is located in a ‘difficult’ residential district, and the works are constantly exposed to acts of vandalism. There are also conservation problems related to unsuitable techniques or mediums used by artists or the interactive character of objects. On the basis of case studies from Bródno Sculpture Park I would like to discuss problems related to the application of conservation standards and museum procedures for works of art from a public collection exhibited in public places.

Par consé-quent, ce lait peut avoir de potentiels effets bénéfiques pour la sante del’homme. Comme pour les acides gras, le lait contient également des protéines ayant une action bénéfique pour la santé comme par exemple la lactoferrine (Adlerova et al. 2008). Jusque à pré-sent, l’influence du régime alimentaire des vaches laitières sur la composition protéique du lait n’a été que peu ou pas étudiée.

description: Aneuploidy has profound effects on eukaryotic cells. In humans, aneuploidy is associated with various pathologies, including cancer, which suggests that it mediates a proliferative advantage under these conditions. However, there are still many questions about the mechanism of embryo dysplasia in chromosome aneuploidy: How dose differences on specific chromosomes affect gene expression on other chromosomes? What is the main difference between the aneuploidy abnormality of the fatal chromosome and the aneuploidy abnormality of the non-fatal chromosome. Here, by combining an in vitro culture system for the blastocyst and single cell transcriptome sequencing technologies, we examine more than 13000 individual cells from each type of aneuploidy during blastula stage.

 Material examined: Montenegro, Andrijevica (42º73’N, 19º79’), 20.06.2013, 1 larva; leg. M. Šundić.
It is very rare species known from a single specimen from Skadar Lake area (Arknes) in Montenegro (Haitlinger, 2007b). New metric data for the second specimen are given in Table 2. In original description hypostomalae mistakenly are drawn as long and nude setae. Ventral part of gnathosoma in holotype is very badly visible and some structure were recognized as hypostomalae. In second specimen hypostomalae are very well visible: they are short, bifurcating with about 7 “fingers”. Some corrected data for holotype (legs formula, palptibia, palptarsus) were given by Hatlinger (2013) but correct formula for palptarus is: 1ω, 1ζ, 3 (2B, 1N).

description: OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations of family sociodemographic characteristics with children's weight status and whether these potential associations are mediated by children's breakfast habits. DESIGN: A school-based survey among 10-12-year-old children was conducted in eight European countries. Children's weight and height were measured and breakfast habits and family sociodemographic characteristics were self-reported by 5444 children and their parents. International Obesity Task Force cut-off points were used to categorize children as overweight/obese or normal weight. Mediation analyses were used to test the potential mediating effect of children's breakfast consumption on the associations between family sociodemographic characteristics and children's overweight/obesity. SETTING: Schools in eight European countries participating in the ENERGY (EuropeaN Energy balance Research to prevent excessive weight Gain among Youth) project. SUBJECTS: Children aged 10-12 years and their parents (n 5444). RESULTS: Children's reported daily breakfast consumption varied from 56 % in Slovenia to 92 % in Spain on weekdays and from 79 % in Greece to 93 % in Norway on weekends. Children of native parents, with both parents employed and with at least one parent having more than 14 years of education were more likely to consume breakfast daily and less likely to be overweight/obese. Finally, mediation analyses revealed that the association of parental nationality and parental educational status with children's overweight/obesity was partially mediated by children's daily breakfast consumption. CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that the lower likelihood of being overweight/obese among 10-12-year-old children of native background and higher parental educational status was partially mediated by children's daily breakfast consumption.

description: In modern buildings, the ever-increasing size of glazing in the building skin means that stronger and larger frames are needed. At the same time, modern design calls for small frame sections in order to let in as much light as possible through the windows and to allow free view. Both goals - larger glazing surfaces and smaller frames - could be achieved if the glass could be strengthened to take over the structural duty of the window frame. Researchers at the Bern University of Applied Sciences have investigated a new type of window: the insulated glass element is strengthened by gluing on at its edges a U-profile, made of glass fibers and polyester (GFP). The research included simulation modeling to research different parameters such as the window size and the properties of the U-profile, the insulating glass and the adhesive. The subsequent tests confirmed that composite action can increase the rigidity of the glass window by up to 8 times, and the loadbearing capacity by a factor of 2.5. These positive results are the basis for further research to refine the system with regard to functionality and economical manufacture.

Subjects: Active mode of transportation Children Cultural factors Environment

description: Objective: To assess whether prevalence of active commuting and regular car trips to school varies across communities and language regions in Switzerland and to determine personal and environmental correlates. Methods: During the school year 2004/2005, 1345 parental questionnaires (response rate 65%) of children attending 1st, 4th and 8th grades were completed, 1031 could be linked to a GIS environmental database. A German-speaking, a French-speaking and a bilingual study area were included. Usual mode of transportation and frequency of regular car trips to school were assessed. Associations with personal and environmental factors were evaluated with multivariate regression models. Results: Seventy-eight percent of the children actively traveled to school. Twelve percent were regularly driven at least once a week by car. Major road crossings and distance were significantly related to usual mode of transportation, but not to regular car trips. Age, daycare attendance, parental safety concerns, number of cars in the household and belonging to French-speaking population were significantly associated with increased regular car trips. Conclusion: Objective predictors are main deciding factors for active commuting to school as main mode of transport whereas personal and lifestyle factors are important factors associated with frequency of car use. Not only objective but also differing cultural attitudes should be considered when promoting non-motorized travel.

description: This article provides protocols of a mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention and a psychological skills training intervention. Both consist of four 90-minute group workshops in a time period of one month. All workshops were accompanied with methods that support behavioral change. We considered four principles in the program development to support behavioral change (i.e., supporting processing and learning of the workshop content, strengthening motivation to get involved with the program, promoting regular practice of formal exercises, reactivation of content between workshops). We conclude with evaluating the participants’ feedback on the workshops and by giving advice how practitioners could use these programs.

description: Cryptographic voting protocols often rely on methods that require a large number of modular exponentiations. Corresponding performance bottlenecks may appear both on the server and the client side. Applying existing optimization techniques is often mentioned and rec- ommended in the literature, but their potential has never been analyzed in depth. In this paper, we investigate existing algorithms for computing fixed-base exponentiations and product exponentiations. Both of them appear frequently in voting protocols. We also explore the potential of applying small-exponent techniques. It turns out that using these techniques in combination, the overall computation time can be reduced by two or more orders of magnitude.

description: Background Psychiatric hospitals are increasingly being digitalised. Digitalisation often requires changes at work for health professionals. A positive attitude from health professionals towards technology is crucial for a successful and sustainable digital transformation at work. Nevertheless, insufficient attention is being paid to the health professionals’ sentiments towards technology. Objective This study aims to identify the implemented technologies in psychiatric hospitals and to describe the health professionals’ sentiments towards these implemented technologies. Methods A text-mining analysis of semi-structured interviews with nurses, physicians and psychologists was conducted. The analysis comprised word frequencies and sentiment analyses. For the sentiment analyses, the SentimentWortschatz dataset was used. The sentiments ranged from -1 (strongly negative sentiment) to 1 (strongly positive sentiment). Results In total, 20 health professionals (nurses, physicians and psychologists) participated in the study. When asked about the technologies they used, the participating health professionals mainly referred to the computer, email, phone and electronic health record. Overall, 4% of the words in the transcripts were positive or negative sentiments. Of all words that express a sentiment, 73% were positive. The discussed technologies were associated with positive and negative sentiments. However, of all sentences that described technology at the workplace, 69.4% were negative. Conclusions The participating health professionals mentioned a limited number of technologies at work. The sentiments towards technologies were mostly negative. The way in which technologies are implemented and the lack of health professionals’ involvement seem to be reasons for the negative sentiments.

description: The production of compost and digestate from source-separated organic residues is well established in Europe. However, these products may be a source of pollutants when applied to soils. In order to assess this issue, composts, solid and liquid digestates from Switzerland were analyzed for heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) addressing factors which may influence the concentration levels: the treatment process, the composition, origin, particle size and impurity content of input materials, the season of input materials collection or the degree of organic matter degradation. Composts (n = 81) showed mean contents being at 60% or less of the legal threshold values. Solid digestates (n = 20) had 20–50% lower values for Cd, Co, Pb and Zn but similar values for Cr, Cu and Ni. Liquid digestates (n = 5) exhibited mean concentrations which were approximately twice the values measured in compost for most elements. Statistical analyses did not reveal clear relationships between influencing factors and heavy metal contents. This suggests that the contamination was rather driven by factors not addressed in the present study. According to mass balance calculations related to Switzerland, the annual loads to agricultural soils resulting from the application of compost and digestates ranged between 2% (Cd) and 22% (Pb) of total heavy metal loads. At regional scale, composts and digestates are therefore minor sources of pollution compared to manure (Co, Cu, Ni, Zn), mineral fertilizer (Cd, Cr) and aerial deposition (Pb). However, for individual fields, fertilization with compost or digestates results in higher heavy metal loads than application of equivalent nutrient inputs through manure or mineral fertilizer.

description: Background and purpose Foot equinus and leg length discrepancy (LLD) are common problems in hemiplegic cerebral palsy (hCP), both causing secondary deviations of pelvic motion during gait. It can therefore be assumed that the spinal deviations observed in hCP patients are secondary as a compensation for the position of the pelvis arising from the disturbed leg function. This study investigated the effects of correcting lower extremity function by orthotics on spinal gait kinematics in hCP patients. Methods Ten adolescent hCP patients and 15 healthy controls were included. Using a validated and previously used enhanced marker set, sagittal and frontal plane spinal curvature angles as well as general trunk and lower extremity kinematics were measured while walking barefoot as well as with an orthotic correction (only hCP patients) using a 12-camera motion capture system. Results The hCP patients in both the barefoot and orthotic conditions indicated clinically relevant greater lumbar lordosis angles (d ≥ 0.96, p ≤ 0.071), smaller thoracic kyphosis angles (d ≥ 0.84, p ≤ 0.142) and differences in frontal plane lumbar curvature angles (d ≥ 1.00, p ≤ 0.105) compared to controls. However, these angles were not influenced by the successful restoration of a normal heel-to-toe gait pattern and the correction of any LLD using lower extremity orthotics. Conclusions Spinal gait deviations in adolescents with mild hCP seemed not to result secondarily from foot equinus or LLD, but probably from structural deformities such as hip flexor contractures. Future research should address long-term effects of an AFO treatment as well as the relationship between spinal kinematics and severity of disease.

description: Service Learning und im Speziellen Critical Service Learning birgt großes Potenzial für die Ziele der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und die Förderung nachhaltigkeitsrelevanter Kompetenzen auf Hochschulebene. Damit sich dieses Potenzial entfalten und Critical Service Learning ein wichtiges Element der Hochschul-BNE werden kann, müssen verschiedene Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Die gleichberechtigte Integration der Perspektiven von Studierenden, Dozierenden und Praxispartnerinnen und -partner sowie eine konsequente Orientierung an Qualitätskriterien für Service Learning und den Zielen von BNE sind dafür eine zentrale Voraussetzung. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert und diskutiert nützliche Rahmenkonzepte, Kriterien und Ansätze. Anhand der Erfahrungen aus einem cocurricularen Service-Learning-Projekt der Berner Fachhochschule wird aus allen drei Perspektiven aufgezeigt, wie ein Critical-Service-Learning-Projekt im Kontext von BNE umgesetzt werden kann, welche Chancen und Herausforderungen sich für die Hochschulen, Studierenden und Praxispartnerinnen und -partner bieten und welche Anforderungen und Voraussetzungen zu berücksichtigen sind.
