Levels of Engagement in a Comprehensive Parenting Intervention to Reduce Child Neglect Among Mothers without a High School Diploma: A Profile Examination
Creators: name: Gao, De
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Although Maternal Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) programs in the United States attempt to engage families at high-risk for poor outcomes, in intensive intervention, MIECHV programs are plagued by low parent engagement (Cho et al., 2018). Families at highest need for intensive interventions are least likely to receive them (MIECHV Technical Assistance Coordinating Center, 2015). This secondary analysis study examined levels of mother engagement in a comprehensive home visiting intervention program, My Baby & Me, implemented within a randomized controlled trial by The Centers for the Prevention of Child Neglect (Guttentag et al., 2014). The purpose of this study is to identify parent engagement profiles, which may be used in subsequent studies to determine if there are modifiable family or intervention factors that predict optimal parent engagement profiles. This examination focused on mothers assigned to a comprehensive intervention condition beginning in the third trimester and continuing through the first-year post-partum. Results from the multiple logistic regression models showed that there were associations with race/ethnicity, maternal age (at prenatal interview), and amount of time living at current home.
An Evaluation Plan for Georgia's Injury Prevention Program
Creators: name: Ngene, Joy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Georgia's injury prevention program (GaIPP) exists within the Georgia Department of Public Health's protection division. It is an overarching program that focuses on providing the necessary resources for various injury prevention efforts around Georgia.  GaIPP’s vision is to find a way for "injuries and their burdens to be fully minimized by empowering state and local coalitions through the provision of data, training, coordination, and leadership. This capstone will focus on evaluating GaIPP’s data management and their need to provide a publicly available system that presents all the current, activity-related programs of GaIPP. Recommendations for improving data management for GaIPP include (1) a designated group to create and maintain a full-text database, (2) Affiliating the database with the Georgia Department of Health, and (3) focusing specific efforts on the maintenance of the database.
Developing and Disseminating the Children’s Environmental Health Index with Web GIS
Creators: name: Yeley, Allegra
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: A common adage in the field of children’s environmental health is “children are not small adults”. Children’s behavior, physiology, and dependency can increase their risk of and vulnerability to environmental exposures. Screening and web mapping tools like EPA’s EJSCREEN and California’s CalEnviroScreen highlight populated areas where residents may be at an increased risk of poor environmental health outcomes or environmental injustices. These tools provide valuable insight for policy makers, public health professionals, and the public. However, there are currently no screening tools that focus on spatial disparities in children’s environmental health at the local level.
This project sought to address that gap by developing the Children’s Environmental Health Index (CEHI), based on the framework of the World Health Organization’s Urban Health Index. The CEHI is meant to be adapted to specific community concerns, and indicator selection is determined by significance to children’s health as well as data availability.
This project applied the CEHI at the census tract-level in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Because the county is heavily industrialized, environmental health concerns focused on air quality and point-source pollution. Geospatial data was sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau, Environmental Protection Agency, PA Department of Environmental Protection, PA Department of Transportation, and Allegheny County. As expected, analysis was shaped and sometimes limited by data availability and computing resources.
The CEHI web app was designed to be user-friendly and accessible to all audiences. It includes map layers for the CEHI, each indicator, and relevant data such as schools, day cares, and parks. Users can interact with the layers and retrieve areal statistics. The web app serves as a template for organizations who wish to develop their own CEHI. Future applications of the CEHI should explore daytime exposures using school districts, as well as examine maternal and infant health outcomes from the perspective of access and environmental exposure.
“We Really are Seeing Racism in the Hospitals”: Racism and Doula Care
Creators: name: Sayyad, Ayeesha
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: 
Introduction: Poor birth outcomes are more prevalent for Black birthing people and their babies. Strong evidence shows that doula care, during labor and delivery, improves maternal and child health outcomes. Yet little is documented about racial differences, discrimination, and equity in doula care. 


Methods: Between November 2020 and January 2021, 17 surveys and in-depth interviews were conducted with doulas in Georgia as part of the community-based participatory Georgia Doula Study, co-led by Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia and academic researchers. The study objective was to describe the challenges and facilitators of providing doula care in Georgia. In the fall of 2021, additional measures on racism and discrimination in doula care were added to the survey and interview guide and previous participants were re-contacted. 


Results: Doula participants were diverse in age (41% 25-35, 35% 36-45, and 24% 46+) and race/ethnicity (53% white, 41% Black, 6% Latinx). Six of the seven (86%) Black doulas reported that more than 85% of their clientele is Black, while all of the eight white doulas reported that 50% or less of their clientele is Black. Three (18%) of the doulas indicated more than 10% of their clientele is Latinx, while only two (12%) indicated more than 10% of their clientele is Asian-American or Pacific Islander. Discrimination scores were 51.5 for Black doulas (standard deviation 7.55) 46.7 for white doulas (standard deviation 7.48). Doulas noted that the alarming maternal mortality rate for Black women and not always being listened to causes Black clients to be less trusting of medical staff, leaving them in need of advocates. Black doulas were passionate about serving and advocating with Black clients. Doulas also described how language and cultural barriers, particularly for Asian and Latinx birthing people, reduce clients’ ability to advocate for themselves, increasing the need for doulas. 


Conclusion: Black doulas are an essential tool for improving birth outcomes for Black women. Increasing access to doula care for Asian and Latinx communities could address language and cultural barriers that can negatively impact their maternal and child health outcomes.
Concepts for Antiracist Policy Formulation

description: Racism is undoubtedly a “hot topic” in America today. Since the murder of Trayvon Martin, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has swept over the nation, ruffled feathers, roared, and been a call to action. Most importantly, the BLM movement has highlighted and reinvigorated the discussion of race and racism, and prompted us to ask “what do we do next?” The uncomplicated answer would be to act-- to create policies and programs that ensure the end of undue violence toward Black people, toward Latinx and Hispanic people, toward ethnic and religious minorities, and give all of the American people their overdue balance of equity. Instead, we see the growth of immigrants ripped from their homeland placed in detention camps; we see continuing police violence against Black people; the rise of anti-Semitic attacks and rhetoric; and the escalation of anti-Asian and anti-Pacific Islander brutality. The question of “why?” now comes with an air of futility. “Why does this keep happening?” The reality is that without improvement in the laws and policies underlying our current structures and systems, we will continue to see more of the same. The field of public health has declared racism a public health crisis. To meaningfully address racism in current and future policies requires development of policy formulation processes and considerations that specifically bring an antiracism lens and approach.

description: Objectives: To estimate the long term cost savings, return on investment, and gain in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) that could be achieved by a national anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention program for amateur football (soccer) players in Australia. Study design: Markov model decision analysis. Setting, participants: Two hypothetical scenarios including all amateur football players in Australia (340 253 players): no intervention, and a national ACL injury prevention program. Transitions between health states, including ACL rupture, meniscal injury, knee osteoarthritis, and total knee replacement were made in one-year cycles over 35 years from a societal perspective. Main outcome measures: Cost savings, return on investment, and QALY gain achieved in the prevention program scenario relative to control scenario, by age group (10–17, 18–34, 35 years or older) and gender. Secondary outcomes: incidence of ACL rupture, knee osteoarthritis, total knee replacement, and total knee replacement revision. Results: The total mean cost of an ACL injury was estimated to be $30 665. The national injury prevention program was projected to save $52 539 751 in medical and societal costs caused by ACL ruptures in amateur footballers over 35 years; the estimated return on each dollar invested in the program was $3.51. Over this period, the number of players with ruptured ACLs could be reduced by 4385 (9%), the number of knee osteoarthritis cases by 780 (8.1%), and the number of total knee replacements by 121 (8.1%); 445 QALYs were gained. Conclusion: Our findings support investing in a national, evidence-based program for the primary prevention of ACL injuries in amateur football players.
Characterization of Hand Hygiene Techniques Among Intensive Care Nurses: A Descriptive Study
Creators: name: Reyes, Ashley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: OBJECTIVE: Although a plethora of hand hygiene guidance and policies exist for healthcare workers, a number of barriers exist that can cause a lack of adherence. A lack of hand hygiene adherence can lead to healthcare-associated infections and altered community health. This study aimed to examine the hand hygiene techniques among intensive care nurses to gain a better understanding of current practices and needs among the population.
METHODS: Previously obtained data of 19 intensive care nurses completing simulated patient care was used. Each nurse completed care for two patients and the duration, type and number of hand hygiene instances were observed. Frequencies and means were used to compare behaviors and determine gaps in the data.
RESULTS: Of the 74 total observed hand hygiene instances, the average duration was 9.9 seconds. 66 of these instances involved using alcohol-based hand rub (88%), and 6 using soap and water (12%). Eight possible moments of hand hygiene (given interactions with two patients) should have been completed, however, most nurses completed only 4 (31.6%), and none completed the recommended 8. When using soap, the average duration of hand hygiene was 14.5 seconds (WHO recommends 40-60 seconds) and 9.29 seconds for alcohol-based hand rub (WHO recommends 20-30 seconds).
DISCUSSION: Overall, there is a large gap between recommended hand hygiene practices and those seen in this study. Research suggests that this is likely due to accessibility issues, a lack of knowledge, and demanding workload. However, there is room for further in-depth investigation of this topic to solidify true barriers to hand hygiene adherence and overall work to improve the health of healthcare workers, patients, and communities.
Analysis of the Association between Physical and Mental Health in Adults: Understanding the Literature and Developing a Plan for Future Research
Creators: name: Moskowitz, Max
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: INTRODUCTION: The definition of a healthy lifestyle among adults in the United States considers frequency of physical and mental activities, frequency of alcohol consumption, smoking, diet, and sleep habits. Evidence from the literature shows healthy lifestyle choices have a positive effect on psychological well-being and the reduction of mental health problems. Up until this point it has been unclear if the onset of mental illness results in a decline in physical health or vice versa. 
 
AIM: The aim of this capstone project is to review the published literature that examined the relationship between mental health and physical health among adults and to propose a study that examines the relationship between physical health impacting psychological well-being.
 
METHOD: In-depth review of the literature as well as a proposed cross-sectional study consisting of a single survey with odds-ratio calculations to measure the association between healthy lifestyle choices (the exposure) and psychological well-being (the outcome).
 
RESULTS OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW:  The results of the literature review suggest more than one model for studying the relationship between physical and mental health. They each convey how risks like depression and unhealthy body mass index (BMI) scores are associated with physical and mental health.
 
PROPOSED STUDY: The findings from the proposed study intend to address key characteristics of individuals who consistently report a healthy mental status and have daily physical routine habits. The results from this study can help understand how maintaining a healthy physical status affect our mental wellbeing.

description: Let $\mathcal{K}$ be a discrete valued field with finite residue field. In analogy with orthogonality in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, there is a well-studied notion of "ultrametric orthogonality" in $\mathcal{K}^n$. In this paper, motivated by a question of Erd{ő}s in the real case, given integers $k \geq \ell \geq 2$, we investigate the maximum size of a subset $S \subseteq \mathcal{K}^n \setminus\{{\bf 0}\}$ satisfying the following property: for any $E \subseteq S$ of size $k$, there exists $F \subseteq E$ of size $\ell$ such that any two distinct vectors in $F$ are orthogonal. Other variants of this property are also studied.

description: The formation and dynamics of topological defects of different structure has been of central interest in the study of the 3He superfluids. Compared to superfluid 4He-II, the variability of the important parameters with temperature and pressure is wider and many features are more ideal. This has made experimentally new approaches possible. An example is the formation of quantized vortices and other topological defects in a rapid time-dependent phase transition from the normal state to 3He-B. This vortex formation process is known as the Kibble-Zurek mechanism and is one the central topics of this review. It demonstrates the use of 3He-B as a model system for quantum fields, with detailed control from the laboratory.

description: Over the last half century, common raven (Corvus corax; raven) populations have increased in abundance across much of North America. Ravens are generalist predators known to depredate the eggs and young of several sensitive species. Quantifying raven population increases at multiple spatial scales across North America will help wildlife resource managers identify areas where population increases present the greatest risk to species conservation. We used a hierarchical Bayesian modeling approach to analyze trends of standardized raven counts from 1966 to 2018 using Breeding Bird Survey data within each Level I and II ecoregion of the United States and Canada. We also compared raven abundance within and outside the distributions of 9 sensitive or endangered species. Although we found substantial evidence that raven populations have increased across North America, populations varied in growth rates and relative abundances among regions. We found 73% of Level I (11/15) and II (25/34) ecoregions demonstrated positive annual population growth rates ranging from 0.2–9.4%. We found higher raven abundance inside versus outside the distributions of 7 of the 9 sensitive species included in our analysis. Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus) had the highest discrepancy, with 293% more ravens within compared to outside of their range, followed by greater sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis tabida; 280%), and greater sage-grouse (C. urophasianus; 204%). Only 2 species, least tern (Sternula antillarum) and piping plover (Charadrius melodus), indicated lower raven abundance within relative to outside their distributions. Our findings will help wildlife resource managers identify regional trends in abundance of ravens and anticipate which sensitive species are at greatest risk from elevated raven populations. Future research directed at identifying the underlying regional drivers of these trends could help elucidate the most appropriate and responsive management actions and, thereby, guide the development of raven population management plans to mitigate impacts to sensitive species.
The Evolution of Curvature of Blazar Spectral Energy Distribution in The Fermi Era

description: The blazars are powerful 𝛾-ray emitters and dominate the extragalactic sky. Their broadband spectra are significantly curved and the evolution of spectral curvature has not been well understood. The spectral curvature in blazar spectral energy distibution (SED) should be related to an intrinsic curvature of emitting nonthermal electron distribution (EED). This work investigates the origin and evolution of the spectral curvature of blazar SED in context of particle acceleration and cooling mechanisms. It is found that a one-zone log-parabolic inverse Compton (IC) model adaquately explains the broadband SEDs of Fermi bright blazars, suggesting that there is a strong stochastic component in the particle acceleration as revealed through an inverse correlation between the curvature and peak energy of log-parabolic EED. However the signature correlation is only found for BL Lac objects (BL Lacs), while FSRQs do not show signature of acceleration, that might be attributed to dominant radiative cooling due to stronger magnetic field and an additional external Compton (EC) component. Therefore, it is suggested that the curvature of underlying EED, in a combined acceleration and cooling scenario, evolves in a purely acceleration dominated regime in BL Lacs, whereas the curvature of FSRQs evolve in a cooling dominated phase with conditions nearly corresponding to steady state. The intrinsic difference between Fermi detected BL Lacs (FBLs) and non-detected BL Lacs (NFBLs) has also been studied and it is found that FBLs show smaller spectral curvature than the NFBLs. It has been found that curvature and Compton dominance (CD) of BL Lacs is related. Two BL Lacs PKS 0048-09 and S5 0716+714 have similar synchrotron luminosity but a different 𝛾-ray luminosity. Their quasi-simultaneous SEDs can be modeled with same physical jet parameters except the source size and EED curvature parameter. PKS 0048-09 with higher CD manifests small curvature, that can be explained if there is a phenomenal positive relationship between curvature parameter and the source size. This shows that for BL Lac objects with at a given synchrotron power, FBLs might have relatively compact jets which make the acceleration and cooling more efficient, leading to a smaller curvature and higher CD. The curvature is an important parameter of the SED in addition to peak frequency, bolometric power, and CD, and, therefore, it can be considered a fourth parameter of blazar sequence. The Fermi LAT 𝛾-ray spectra of bright blazars shows curvature, suggesting that all blazars may have curved spectra. The curvature at high energy is important and may reveal the underlying physical conditions in the jet. The future TeV telescope CTA combined with Fermi GeV spectra can provide the opportunity to study the origin of curvature and its evolution in blazars in more details.

description: Information is important to support effective strategic land-use decision-making, particularly in response to changing markets, policy and climate. This research plays a part in understanding how farmers interact with information in the digital age, which is important to inform effective approaches to information provision. 
A literature review and qualitative research methods were conducted to investigate the perspectives of New Zealand farmers. This included twenty-two semi-structured interviews and a focus group. 
Farmer information-gathering and knowledge-sharing habits follow different patterns in the digital age. Farmers utilise a range of information sources and there have been shifts toward evolving channels that are digital and interpersonal. This has brought challenges associated with information overload and misinformation. To communicate effectively, Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) need to adapt and value local knowledge. 
The results indicate that the role of information in land-use decision-making is personal, contextual, and unique for each farm system. 
Farmers feel that information to support strategic land-use decision-making is challenging to source and lacking in availability, especially concerning regional contexts.

description: Donor and financial institutions, such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and others, often promote market-based solutions for the delivery of public services in developing countries. This article examines the use of such market approaches by the World Bank to hire for-profit and nonprofit nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to implement aWomen’s Literacy Project (WLP) in Senegal. This particular project has been touted as one of the “best” of the large literacy projects in Senegal, and it has been extended as a model by the World Bank in other West African countries, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Guinea, Niger, and The Gambia. Several recent studies have argued favorably for strong international support to set up local educational policies and economic frameworks (e.g., Resnik 2006). By examining the WLP, I seek to inform the debate on the role of international organizations, as well as for-profit and nonprofit nongovernmental organizations, as producers of women’s literacy and builders of civil society. Prior to presenting the case study, I summarize the discourses related to the neoliberal economic rationale, the role of civil society organizations, and gender and literacy.

description: As a significant part of China's long-term strategy for promoting ethnic integration and border security, the Xinjiang class policy has been in operation for nearly 20 years. It encourages and funds middle-school students from Xinjiang, especially ethnic minorities, to attend high schools in predominantly Han-populated cities in eastern China. This study adopts the format of thesis by publication and addresses three main questions. First, how do ethnic minority students from Xinjiang maintain their ethnic identity while also becoming well-educated citizens in a Han-dominated environment? Second, how do the caregivers of students perceive the value of the Xinjiang class education? Third, how does a long period of detachment from one's family and community impact the parent-child relationship? Data were collected through in-depth interviews with students and their parents or caregivers. The research indicated that Xinjiang class students are strategically shifting their identities to actively navigate between different cultures and that the benefits of receiving Xinjiang class education lie in developing a range of capabilities that will suit their individual, relational, and collective needs. The study shows that Xinjiang class students are caught in a world where they are responding to a variety of demands and desires. On the one hand, they are trying to make decisions that will satisfy their parents, but, on the other hand, they also want control over their own lives in terms of employment and who they can marry. They want to take advantage of their newfound opportunities, but they also want to please their parents and respect ethnic traditions, both of which cause them endless uncertainty and anxiety. In all, this research reflects how it is time for researchers working in this field to acknowledge a deeper level of complexity in the lives of Xinjiang class students and their families. This research also casts new light on global studies about the impact of educational mobility on parent-child relations -- summary.
title: Visual Marking of Ground Nests Might Attract Corvids

description: For ground-nesting birds such as waterfowl, estimating nest survival is a crucial step in assessing population dynamics, and marking nests facilitates continuous monitoring. A conventional method for marking ground nests is to use an inconspicuous rod at the nest bowl and a wooden lathe 10 m away. Nests are visually marked to allow for greater efficiency when revisiting nests and to facilitate subsequent nest searching sessions. Anecdotal evidence suggests that common ravens (Corvus corax) and American crows (C. brachyrhynchos) might learn to recognize these nest markers, resulting in artificially inflated rates of nest predation. In 2017 in central Alberta, Canada, we compared fates of nests marked with the conventional lathe-rod combination versus only a rod. We also tested the prevalence of corvid predation of marked nests in areas with and without high observations of corvid activity, using data from a study of dabbling duck (Anas spp.) nest survival. Our results suggest that marking nests with a lathe can increase predation by corvids and that nests marked with a rod only were more likely to hatch. Evaluation and use of alternate nest-marking methods would be beneficial for future studies of ground-nesting birds in areas where corvids are common. Our work highlights the importance of re-evaluating the efficacy of well-established field methods.

description: Despite recent advances in extremely-precise radial velocity (EPRV) spectrographs, intrinsic stellar variability still poses a significant obstacle to the detection and characterization of Earth-mass exoplanets in their stars' habitable zones. In addition to pulsations and magnetic activity, granulation in the atmospheres of Sun-like stars skews the shape of absorption lines, creating a persistent RV noise source on the order of a few tens of centimeters per second. To complement previous studies of granulation that have used computationally expensive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, we have developed a synthetic spectrum generator that uses time- and disk-resolved observations of the Sun to efficiently generate synthetic time series of spectra. We present this tool, the GRanulation And Spectrum Simulator (GRASS; Palumbo et al. 2022; https://github.com/palumbom/GRASS), and use its output spectra to compare the results of RV measurement and analysis methods that operate on either full spectra or cross-correlation function (CCF) derived RVs. We further discuss additional use-cases of GRASS as a testing ground for methods designed to mitigate RV noise arising from granulation.

High resolution transmission spectroscopy
Atmospheres

description: High resolution spectra of transit events enable the search for constituents in exoplanet atmospheres with a variety of methods.
 Using cross correlation, the observations can be compared to models across a wide wavelength range, taking advantage of the large number of absorption lines of some species. For other species, the excess absorption in strong individual lines is measurable directly by comparing the spectra taken during the transit with those before and after the transit. We analyze transmission spectra of HAT-P-11 b obtained with CARMENES using these two methods to search for a multitude of species in the planetary atmosphere. We remove stellar and telluric lines with SYSREM and find a tentative detection of CH4 using cross correlation. In addition, the influence of clouds on the detection strength is investigated. We confirm the previously detected presence of He by examining the near-infrared helium triplet. Helium is known to be a tracer for extended atmospheres and to be related to stellar activity. The large eccentricity of HAT-P-11 b's orbit helps to disentangle the planetary from the stellar absorption lines. Furthermore, we search for other species that are expected to be present in the atmosphere of warm Neptunes.

description: Common ravens (Corvus corax; ravens) are known nest predators that have the ability to negatively impact nesting birds, including imperiled species of seabirds and shorebirds. We conducted systematic necropsies of ravens that were lethally controlled in Monterey Bay, California, USA during 2013–2015, in or near western snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus) nesting areas, in an effort to better understand body condition, overall health, and diet of individual ravens. Raven predation of snowy plover nests has increased over the years in the Monterey Bay study area, and lethal removal of ravens has been employed to reduce predation. Most ravens examined in this study were in moderate to excellent body condition and also exhibited good organ health. There were statistically significant differences between male and female morphometrics (mass, culmen length, and wing length; P < 0.05). Stomach content analysis indicated a varied diet with consumption of animal remains and eggshell fragments, and anthropogenic sources of food (e.g., human food items and human-produced non-food items). Our study provides evidence that lethal control of ravens targeted some individual ravens that were responsible for depredating snowy plover nests

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure how the presence of endorsements by public interest groups on a ballot may impact voters’ choices. The 6,101 total voting-age respondents were divided into two main conditions and asked a randomized series of questions regarding how they would vote if a particular issue appeared on the ballot. The “cue” condition received an additional statement on endorsements from prominent interest groups, while the “no cue” condition did not receive any additional information. This allowed for comparisons between responses by people who received the additional endorsement information and those who did not, providing further insight on how that kind of information impacts voting outcomes.

description: Traditional trapping techniques for common ravens (Corvus corax; raven) require significant effort, often produce low capture rates, and cannot be used in some situations. We designed a 3-m noose pole to secure ravens from nocturnal roost locations while using a strobe spotlight to temporarily disorient them. We collected measures of trapping efficiency and contrasted them with padded leghold traps also used in the study. We effectively implemented our noose pole method in July and August of 2018, 2019, and 2020 in the Baker and Cow Lakes sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Priority Areas of Conservation in eastern Oregon, USA, which yielded trapping efficiency of 0.48 trap-hours/raven (37 total captured ravens). Our trapping efficiency using leghold traps during the same summer months was 76.42 trap-hours/raven (3 total captured ravens). Our new trapping method constitutes an inexpensive and simple way to safely trap ravens at accessible communal roosts and merits further refinement to increase utility and capitalize on the vulnerability of ravens to capture at night.

description: This paper addresses the issue of loneliness among office workers who have suddenly been forced to work from home in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to find out whether the use of video-based social software can counter-act the feeling of loneliness. An online survey with 381 participants showed that video-based social software is increasingly used, but the use has no influence on loneliness. However, office workers have an increased interest in digital events through their employer.
