The Role of Focal Adhesion Kinase in Breast Cancer Mediated Osteolysis

description: Breast cancer most commonly metastasizes to the bone, where it perpetuates the vicious cycle leading to osteolytic lesions. This occurs when secreted factors from breast cancer cells disrupt bone homeostasis by deregulation of osteoblast bone formation, and enhance osteoclast bone degradation thereby releasing bone matrix bound growth factors leading to further tumor growth. Although the use of osteoclast targeting agents, such as bisphosphonates and RANK-L inhibitors, are common practice for the treatment of bone metastasis, they have not been shown to increase patient survival. We therefore sought to investigate the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a potential therapeutic target, in the treatment of breast cancer mediated osteolysis. FAK is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase known to directly regulate tumor progression and metastasis; it is also expressed in all of the cell types involved in breast cancer mediated osteolysis. Thus, we hypothesized that the inhibition of FAK would restore normal bone homeostasis, as well as mediate direct anti-tumor activity. FAK depletion resulted in the decrease of expression of several osteolytic factors secreted by breast cancer cells. However, the use of FAK depleted breast cancer conditioned media did not prevent breast cancer mediated osteoclastogenesis in an osteoblast/osteoclast coculture. In monoculture however, using the FAK inhibitor PF-271, we have shown that FAK inhibition leads to increased apoptosis of mature osteoclasts, and their decreased ability to degrade mineralized bone matrix, perhaps in part due to reduced expression of lytic factors such as tartrate resistant acid phosphatase and cathepsin K. Further, FAK inhibition in osteoblast monoculture led to a decrease in their ability to express the maturation factor alkaline phosphatase, and also inhibited their ability to induce mineralization. This inhibition may be due in part to the specific effects of FAK inhibition using PF-271, which may result in decreased levels of p53 in treated osteoblasts. These results suggests that the pharmacological inhibition of FAK can effect all three cell types involved in the vicious cycle of bone metastasis, and as such could be a beneficial therapeutic for patients with bone metastasis resulting in prevention of bone degradation along with direct inhibition of tumor growth. However, it may require further evaluation in animal models to determine if observed effects on osteoblast activity in vitro also occurs in vivo with possible detrimental effects on restoration of damaged bone.

description: This study investigates the interplay between structural disorder, absorption, and Lyapunov exponent dynamics to exploit localization phenomena in photonic crystals with engineered defect layers. We generate disorder by introducing random refractive index variations in one of the bilayers, while the application of a control field to $Λ$-type atoms within a central defect layer enables dynamic tuning of the effective refractive index of crystal. We have employed traditional transfer matrix method to demonstrate transmission, Lyapunov exponents and absorption in the crystal. Through coherent control, we dynamically tune absorption, revealing sharp contrasts in band gap and band edge regions. while Lyapunov exponents, quantifying localization lengths, exhibit a consistent scaling across both band gap and band edge frequencies, and this behavior remains robust even in the presence of disorder. Hence, distinct localization mechanisms emerge at bandgap and band-edge frequencies. Bandgap localization arises from optical mode confinement and resonant alignment of atomic transitions with the probe field while band edge localization stems from a synergy of loss-difference-induced trapping and Anderson like disorder effects. Notably, while disorder weakens confinement localization in the band gap, it actually strengthens localization at the band edges. These results deepen the understanding of light-matter coupling in disordered photonic systems and provide a framework for designing reconfigurable optical devices with tailored localization properties.

description: Le Burkina Faso est un pays de mission où les mariages dispars sont couramment célébrés. En raison des difficultés pastorales et des problèmes canoniques qui leur sont liés d’une part, et d’autre part, la sollicitude pastorale confiée à responsabilité de la conférence des évêques (cc. 1067; 1083, § 2; 1126), nous avons entrepris l’étude suivante : « Mariages dispars : propositions canoniques et pastorales pour une législation particulière au Burkina Faso ». Elle se veut une contribution à la réflexion sur l’application des normes universelles (cc. 1086, §§ 1-2; 1125; 1126) au contexte particulier du pays. Dans le premier chapitre, nous présentons la réalité socio-religieuse et nous nous intéressons particulièrement aux normes matrimoniales concernant les mariages dispars dans le christianisme, l’islam et la religion traditionnelle africaine ainsi qu’aux questions qu’elles soulèvent. Le deuxième chapitre analyse les normes universelles de l’Église catholique sur les mariages dispars et considère les législations particulières, surtout celles d’Afrique qui établissent évidemment le lien entre ces normes et les réalités spécifiques dans le territoire d’une même conférence des évêques. Au troisième chapitre, nous abordons l’application de la législation universelle au Burkina Faso. En l’absence d’une législation de la Conférence épiscopale Burkina-Niger, sont examinées quelques coutumes diocésaines et la pratique de certaines paroisses. Le quatrième chapitre est consacré aux propositions canoniques et pastorales sur le soin pastoral avant, pendant et après la célébration des mariages dispars. Sont prises en compte les particularités et les sensibilités des religions non chrétiennes au Burkina Faso ainsi que certaines réalités socio-culturelles concernant les mariages dispars.
Transmitting genocide: genocide and art

description: In July 2005, while European heads of state attended memorials to mark the ten year anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide and court trials continued in The Hague at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Bosnian-American artist Aida Sehovic presented the aftermath of this genocide on a day-to-day level through her art installation in memory of the victims of Srebrenica. Drawing on the Bosnian tradition of coming together for coffee, this installation, 'Sto te Nema?' (Why are you not here?), comprised a collection of tiny white porcelain cups ('fildzans' in Bosnian) arranged in the geographic shape of Srebrenica in the lobby of the United Nations building in New York. It was to represent Europe's worst mass killing since the Second World War, which took place in July 1995 in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica. Up to 8,000 Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) men and boys were killed when Bosnian Serb troops overran the internationally protected enclave (The Guardian).

description: Au-delà de la simple résolution de conflits, ce travail penche sur la question de la réconciliation dans le but de bâtir une paix véritablement durable. Le pardon politique prend ici le rôle central comme élément nécessaire à la cohabitation des anciens antagonistes ayant vécu des violences extrêmes. Plutôt qu’une simple définition, c’est plutôt la quête d’une compréhension du pardon — comme une forme d’action dans le réel — dans sa dimension fonctionnelle au niveau du politique et du rapport à la reconstruction du commun qui anime ce projet. Cette compréhension est faite par la rencontre des textes de Arendt et Ricœur. L’analyse d'un conflit concret promet un véritable pronostique — une quête depuis l’intérieur de la société — visant à déterminer où et dans quelles mesures le pardon politique peut concrètement prendre racine afin d’amener la réconciliation.

description: Background: Although non-communicable and chronic disease now accounts for 47% of the global burden of disease, little is known of the everyday experiences and social aspects of disability and disablement in middle and low income countries. This article aims to address this gap by exploring the subjective experience of mobility impairment in Malaysia. Specifically, it examines health-related quality of life and the impact and distress related to impaired mobility, and investigates any gender differences in relation to the experience of disability. Methods: The data were collected as part of an interdisciplinary, multi-country study known as RESILIENCE (Research into Social Inclusion, Locomotive Impairment and Empowerment through Networking, Collaboration and Education). Cluster sampling was used to administer the EQ-5D and the Perceived Impact of Problems Profile (PIPP) to 210 adults from Selangor state, west coast Peninsular Malaysia. Results: The participants consisted of 94 males and 116 females, aged between 18-90 years (mean 60 years), with the majority being Malay. The majority of participants were also married, from rural areas and had primary education only. Very few participants lived alone. In addition, males were more likely to attribute their impaired mobility to an accident. The majority of participants with mobility impairment experienced a moderate to high level of pain/discomfort (79%) and anxiety/depression (72%), and at least some problems with performing usual activities (71%), as measured by the EQ-5D. In addition, using the Perceived Impact of Problems Profile (PIPP), participants also reported high levels of impact and distress related to participation in community life. In general, males reported higher impact and distress across several items, most significantly in regard to participation in community activities, moving around the neighbourhood, ability to live independently, and ability to assist their family members. Conclusion: This paper provides preliminary data regarding the health-related quality of life among Malaysians with impaired mobility, and highlights the multifaceted impact of disability and the importance of acknowledging the diverse cultural contexts in which disability can occur. It also raises questions regarding gender differences in the subjective experience of disability in Malaysia.

description: Queer people are often discussed as targets of bias, harm, or discrimination in research on generative AI. However, the specific ways that queer people engage with generative AI, and thus possible uses that support queer people, have yet to be explored. We conducted a workshop study with 13 queer artists, during which we gave participants access to GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 and facilitated group sensemaking activities. We found our participants struggled to use these models due to various normative values embedded in their designs, such as hyper-positivity and anti-sexuality. We describe various strategies our participants developed to overcome these models' limitations and how, nevertheless, our participants found value in these highly-normative technologies. Drawing on queer feminist theory, we discuss implications for the conceptualization of "state-of-the-art" models and consider how FAccT researchers might support queer alternatives.

description: La question des biens de l’Église au Congo-Brazzaville n’a pas encore fait l’objet d’une réflexion canonique de ce niveau alors que ce pays est loin d’appliquer le droit canonique universel en vigueur dans ce domaine. Les quatre chapitres de cette dissertation tentent d’analyser les problèmes et de proposer les solutions aux réalités qui caractérisent le droit patrimonial dans ce pays. Le premier chapitre retrace de façon succincte l’établissement de cette Église depuis ses débuts. Avant ce flash-back historique, la présentation géographique du pays, son organisation administrative et son histoire politique situent le cadre de notre étude. Ces éléments aident à comprendre le contexte de l’implantation de l’Église dans toutes ses tentatives et tous ses impacts sur les questions des biens. Le deuxième chapitre met en évidence le droit universel actuel sur les biens temporels en s’appuyant principalement sur le Code de droit canonique de 1983. Ce droit est essentiellement axé sur les termes d’acquisition, de conservation, d’administration et d’aliénation. Ce chapitre éclaire la poursuite de cette réflexion car il permet de jauger et d’évaluer la pratique du droit canonique dans l’Église au Congo-Brazzaville. Éclairé donc par le deuxième chapitre, le troisième chapitre cible les lacunes actuelles que présente l’Église qui est dans ce pays dans la non-application du droit universel. Ces lacunes sont désignées comme les problèmes actuels des biens dans cette Église. Ceux-ci sont principalement liés à l’héritage missionnaire, au contexte socio-politique, aux manquements de la Conférence des évêques du Congo, à la pratique insatisfaisante du droit dans les diocèses et les autres institutions de l’Église, et enfin, aux rapports Église-État. Devant cette kyrielle de problèmes, le quatrième chapitre apporte un chapelet de résolutions et de recommandations pour une nouvelle ère dans la pratique du droit patrimonial au Congo-Brazzaville. Pour lier l’utile à l’agréable, cette dissertation prend fin par des annexes motivant les législateurs qui sont dans ce pays de prendre en main leur rôle normatif resté longtemps en souffrance alors que cette Église est déjà centenaire.

description: The significance of laser-driven polarized beam acceleration has been increasingly recognized in recent years. We propose an efficient method for generating polarized proton beams from a pre-polarized hydrogen halide gas jet, utilizing magnetic vortex acceleration enhanced by a laser-driven plasma bubble. When a petawatt laser pulse passes through a pre-polarized gas jet, a bubble-like ultra-nonlinear plasma wave is formed. As part of the wave particles, background protons are swept by the acceleration field of the bubble and oscillate significantly along the laser propagation axis. Some of the pre-accelerated protons in the plasma wave are trapped by the acceleration field at the rear side of the target. This acceleration field is intensified by the transverse expansion of the laser-driven magnetic vortex, resulting in energetic polarized proton beams. The spin of energetic protons is determined by their precession within the electromagnetic field, as described by the Thomas-Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation in analytical models and particle-in-cell simulations. Multidimensional simulations reveal that monoenergetic proton beams with hundreds of MeV in energy, a beam charge of hundreds of pC, and a beam polarization of tens of percent can be produced at laser powers of several petawatts. Laser-driven polarized proton beams offer promising potential for application in polarized beam colliders, where they can be utilized to investigate particle interactions and to explore the properties of matter under unique conditions.

description: Abstract Background. People with dementia (PWD) have difficulty adhering to their medication regiment and maintaining a sense of identity and social connectedness. Moreover, caregivers constantly worry about PWD especially when they are left home alone. Objective. To examine the usefulness and usability of the Claris Companion (CC) in assisting PWD and their caregivers. Results. Most participants found some of the communication functions, leisure functions and reminder functions difficult to use. They found that the email/text messaging, photos and videos function useful. Surprisingly, they did not find the reminder functions useful. Conclusion. This study demonstrated how the CC could help PWD regain their sense of identity and feel more socially connected to their family and friends. Furthermore, it also demonstrated how the CC gives peace of mind to caregivers in leaving PWD home alone while they are at work or running errands. Résumé Contexte.

De plus, leurs proche-aidants s’inquiètent constamment de la PAD, spécialement lorsque qu’ils ou qu’elles sont à la maison tout(e)s seul(e)s. Objectif. D’examiner l’utilité et l’utilisabilité du Claris Companion (CC) pour assisté la PAD et son proche-aidant. Résultats. La plupart des participants ont trouvé les fonctions de communication, loisirs et de rappels difficiles à utilisés. Ils ont trouvé la fonction de messages courriel/SMS, les photos et les vidéos utiles. Étonnamment, ils n’ont pas trouvé les fonctions de rappels utiles. Conclusion. Cette étude démontre comment le CC peut aider la PAD à reprendre leur sens d’identité et sociabilité. De plus, ça démontre aussi comment le CC donne aux aidants naturels un sens de tranquillité d’esprit lors qu’ils ou qu’elles sont au travail ou font des courses.

Sherman Alexie

description: Sherman Alexie's work revolves around Native Americans—Native Americans who deal with problems such as poverty, alcoholism, transgenerational trauma, modern life, ethnic stereotyping, and institutionalized racism. His voice is thought-provoking, poignant, destabilizing, and also, absolutely funny. His unique approach to heavy political matters offers us a different way of resistance in which people laugh through their tears and maybe change how they react to the issues surrounding themselves. In this thesis, I offer an analysis of who Sherman Alexie is as an author in the United States. I also look into his importance for Turkey in terms of our issues of racism and our understanding of political humour, in hopes of influencing other destabilizing works through his translations. Later, I discuss how he is portrayed in the Turkish literary system by examining two of his translated books, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (Çılgın Atı Düşlemek) and Reservation Blues (Kızılderiliye Yer Yok), through Lawrence Venuti's views on the foreignization and domestication methods in The Translator’s Invisibility: A History of Translation. Subsequently, I present my translation of "Lawyer's League", "Can I Get a Witness?", "Do Not Go Gentle" and "Flight Patterns" from Ten Little Indians as an alternative translation method. Finally, I analyse the foreignization method in relation to translating Sherman Alexie, before explaining my translation choices.

description: We uncovered a more tilted molecular gas structure with highly negative velocities located near the dust lane. Our observations also show that the approaching gas flows from the overshoot process are captured by the bar gravitational and then flows towards the Galactic central molecular zone (CMZ) through the bar channel. The recycling gas from the overshoot effect, in conjunction with freshly accreted gas from the inner 3-kpc disk, accumulates significantly near R_GC~1/2R_bar and R_GC~2/3R_bar regions by adopting a bar length of ~3.2--3.4kpc. Importantly, within these regions, there are frequent collisions and substantial angular momentum exchanges between gas flows with different trajectories. In this scenario, the DISSIPATION processes arising from interactions between colliding flows, together with the varying torques induced by the nonaxisymmetric bar, effectively transfer the angular momentum of viscous gas outward, thereby driving the molecular gas to settle into the CMZ within ~3 orbital periods. A long-term gas inflow with an average rate of >1.1Msun/yr, coupled with intense transient accretion events that exceed the average rate by several times due to the overshoot effect, significantly regulates the gas distribution, physical properties, and dynamical evolution of the CMZ. These findings provide robust observational evidence for elucidating the intricate dynamics of molecular gas flows towards the CMZ. Our results show that gas dynamics has a significant impact on the secular evolution of both the Milky Way and the extragalactic gas-rich galaxies.

description: Information is transferred between neurons in the brain via electrochemical transmission at specialized cell-cell junctions called synapses. These structures are far from being static, but rather are influenced by plasticity mechanisms that alter features of synaptic transmission as means to build routes of information flow in the brain. Hebbian forms of synaptic plasticity – long-term potentiation and long-term depression – have been well studied and are considered to be the cellular basis of learning and memory, although their positive feedback nature is prone to instability. Neurons are also endowed with homeostatic mechanisms of synaptic plasticity that act to stabilize neural network functions by globally tuning synaptic drive. Precisely how neurons orchestrate this adaptive homeostatic response and how it influences Hebbian forms of synaptic plasticity, however, remains only partially understood. Using a combination of whole-cell electrophysiology, two-photon imaging and glutamate uncaging in organotypic hippocampal slices, I have expanded upon the known repertoire of homeostatic mechanisms that increase excitatory synaptic drive when CA1 hippocampal neurons experience a prolonged period of diminished activity. I found that the subunit composition of AMPA and NMDA receptors, the two major glutamate receptor subtypes at excitatory synapses, are altered which, in addition to increasing synaptic strength, are predicted to change the signaling and integrative properties of synaptic transmission. Moreover, I found that the amount of glutamate released from presynaptic terminals during evoked-transmission is enhanced and that this mechanism might, in part, underlie the uniform cell-wide homeostatic increase in synaptic strengths. Lastly, I found that homeostatic strengthening of synaptic transmission reduced the potential for CA1 synapses to exhibit long-term potentiation, and that this was caused by altered presynaptic release dynamics that impeded plasticity induction. Together, this work highlights several mechanistic strategies employed by neurons to increase excitatory synaptic drive during periods of activity deprivation which, in addition to balancing cellular excitability, alters the metaplastic state of synapses.

Fisheries scientists have tried to overcome this for decades. This has included developing stock assessment methods with limited requirements and creating databases with parameter estimates useful for stock assessments. Still, while there may be very little data available except for fisheries catches, there is a difference between that and no data. No data gives the impression that, officially, no catches are being made, and as researchers in the Sea Around Us initiative have shown time and again, this is rarely the case. Data collection may be more difficult and require more work, but data can be found.

description: Although early reproduction within a breeding season often leads to higher reproductive success in seasonal environments, it is still not well understood how reproductive success can be influenced by climate both indirectly through the timing of breeding or by directly altering parental behaviour. In this thesis, I investigate the role of ambient temperature in reproductive success through its effects on the timing of reproduction and brooding in a population of gray jays, Perisoreus canadensis. In chapter 2, I test whether (i) female gray jays adjust laying date in response to temperature, (ii) individual or environmental characteristics constrain this plasticity, and (iii) laying date influences reproductive success. Females laid earlier in warmer years than in colder years; females partnered with older males laid earlier than females partnered with younger males at colder temperatures, but not at warmer temperatures. Early layers were more likely to rear at least one nestling and have a dominant juvenile survive the summer. These findings suggest that male experience could advance female laying date at cold temperatures and subsequently increase the probability of a positive nesting outcome. Though cold temperatures appear to limit timing of reproduction in gray jays, previous work in this system suggests that cold temperatures could better preserve perishable winter food stores. Thus, in chapter 3, I test whether temperatures during early offspring development interact with timing of reproduction to influence reproductive performance. Colder ambient temperatures during incubation were associated with larger brood sizes than warmer temperatures among late breeders, but temperature did not influence brood size among early layers, indicating that costs of late breeding may be amplified by temperatures that are unfavourable for food storage. This thesis contributes to our understanding of the environmental factors that determine reproductive performance, both through effects on timing of reproduction and after eggs are laid.
Nonresonant Casimir-Polder repulsion with a monolayer topological insulator

description: We investigate the behavior of the nonresonant Casimir-Polder force acting on a metastable polarized state of a two-level atomic system with a right-circularly polarized electric dipole transition in the presence of a monolayer topological insulator inhabiting an anomalous quantum Hall insulator state with a negative Chern number, finding that the force can be repulsive for a certain range within the far-field region. By considering stanene irradiated by circularly polarized monochromatic laser light as a material example of a monolayer topological insulator, we study the effect of the frequency dispersion in the conductivity tensor on the force behavior, finding that the dispersion generally leads to a slight downward shift of the force relative to that predicted by a nondispersive approximation, as well as a slight reduction of the range over which the force is repulsive.

Superconductivity in magnetars: Exploring type-I and type-II states in toroidal magnetic fields

description: We present a first two-dimensional general-relativistic analysis of superconducting regions in axially symmetric highly magnetized neutron star (magnetar) models with toroidal magnetic fields. We investigate the topology and distribution of type-II and type-I superconducting regions for varying toroidal magnetic field strengths and stellar masses by solving the Einstein-Maxwell equations using the XNS code. Our results reveal that the outer cores of low- to intermediate-mass magnetars sustain superconductivity over larger regions compared to higher-mass stars with non-trivial distribution of type-II and type-I regions. Consistent with previous one-dimensional (1D) models, we find that regardless of the gravitational mass, the inner cores of magnetars with toroidal magnetic fields are devoid of $S$-wave proton superconductivity. Furthermore, these models contain non-superconducting, torus-shaped regions - a novel feature absent in previous 1D studies. Finally, we speculate on the potential indirect effects of superconductivity on continuous gravitational wave emissions from millisecond pulsars, such as PSR J1843-1113, highlighting their relevance for future gravitational wave detectors.

description: Il contributo si propone di analizzare, in un’ottica trasversale, la ripartizione delle spese di lite e le misure sanzionatorie previste dalla l. 24/2017, poste a presidio dell’effettività degli strumenti apprestati dalla disciplina. In particolare, si sofferma sulla condanna alle spese di consulenza e di lite prevista dal comma 4° dell’art. 8 della legge, in seguito alla mancata partecipazione di una parte alla consulenza tecnica preventiva prevista come obbligatoria; sulla natura della sanzione pecuniaria da infliggere alla medesima condizione; sulle sanzioni di tipo pubblicistico che sono previste confronti delle compagnie assicurative e dell’esercente la professione sanitaria. Si tentano conclusioni sulla compatibilità con i principi costituzionali di siffatte misure.

‘Road Smart’: Canada Safety Council Drivers’ Education And Training Tool
Creators: name: Persaud, Ajax
name: Shipton, Daniel

Year: 2005
Subjects: Canada

description: The CSC is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the prevention of injuries and fatalities in Canada. Faced with the rising social problem of unsafe teenage drivers, the organisation developed a drivers' education/training CD-ROM entitled ‘Road Smart’. The product was designed in partnership with Shell Canada, but the company has declined to further support its distribution. Hence, ‘Road Smart’ is now a finished product in search of marketing strategy. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM faces a challenging set of external obstacles that could seriously jeopardise its market potential, and CSC’s ability to breakeven on the venture. CSC’s challenge is to find a suitable distribution and marketing strategy more than three years after the product was initially commissioned. Seemingly, there is much to be optimistic about. First, there is a definite need for this product in the marketplace. Teenage drivers are unduly dangerous as a group. The product is well designed and easy to use, and as such should help alleviate this worrisome predicament. It does satisfy a need, so there is an expectation that both parents and teenagers should value the ‘Road Smart’. Also, considering the lacklustre competition in Canada for driver education material, ‘Road Smart’ should have little problem outshining its direct competitors. Besides, CSC’s reputation and status should also come in handy. The sad fact however is that teenagers do not value the product above CSC’s breakeven price of about ten dollars. This inference is based on the several market realities. Over the last few years, the CD-ROM industry has been in decline to such a degree that the marketplace has become unattractive.

description: Energy expenditure has become a significant fraction of data center operating costs. Recently, 'geographical load balancing' has been suggested to reduce energy cost by exploiting the electricity price differences across regions. However, this reduction of cost can paradoxically increase total energy use. This paper explores whether the geographical diversity of Internet-scale systems can additionally be used to provide environmental gains. Specifically, we explore whether geographical load balancing can encourage use of 'green' renewable energy and reduce use of 'brown' fossil fuel energy. We make two contributions. First, we derive two distributed algorithms for achieving optimal geographical load balancing. Second, we show that if electricity is dynamically priced in proportion to the instantaneous fraction of the total energy that is brown, then geographical load balancing provides significant reductions in brown energy use. However, the benefits depend strongly on the degree to which systems accept dynamic energy pricing and the form of pricing used.

description: This report documents the first seahorse trade surveys and analyses conducted by Project Seahorse in India, in 1999. These were the last comprehensive surveys about India’s seahorse species, distribution, fisheries, and trade, before the imposition of its national ban on seahorse catch and trade. As such, this investigation provides a baseline for comparisons to help understand the impact of that ban for seahorse conservation. Making these 1999 data public will help policymakers evaluate the use of a ban as a management tool for seahorses and contribute to helping the improved management of seahorses in India.
