description: We perform a detailed spatially-resolved, spectroscopic, analysis of the core of the Centaurus cluster of galaxies using a deep Chandra X-ray observation and XMM-Newton data. The Centaurus cluster core has particularly high metallicity, upto twice Solar values, and we measure the abundances of Fe, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca and Ni. We map the distribution of these elements in many spatial regions,and create radial profiles to the east and west of the centre. The ratios of the most robustly determined elements to iron are consistent with Solar ratios, indicating that there has been enrichment by both Type Ia and Type II supernovae. For a normal initial stellar mass function it represents the products of about 4x10^10 solar masses of star formation. This star formation can have occured either continuously at a rate of 5 solar masses per year for the past 8 Gyr or more,or was part of the formation of the central galaxy at earlier times. Either conclusion requires that the inner core of the Centaurus cluster has not suffered a major disruption within the past 8 Gyr, or even longer.

description: The world is moving forward in a high speed. In this fast phase world we have to carry many things along with us which are much higher and easy to carry. Due to portability reason, we prefer plastic and the damage and loss will be minimal. Do we know consequences of using plastics? It is the most dangerous substance to the environmental pollution. We take comport and leave a curse to the next generation. The green gases emitted by plastics in the long run will pollute the environment. It is time to fix an alternative to the plastics. We have found out natural fiber as the suitable replacement. The natural fibers have as low density, high strength and stiffness, natural fiber reinforced composite matrices have found a large dispersal in several areas of technical applications. Even though it has drawback in the adhesion between the fiber and matrix. By using suitable chemical treatment to achieve the better roughness of the surface it will improve the contact between the fiber and matrix.

description: Structural materials are broadly used in applications such as nuclear vessels, high-temperature processes, and civil construction. Usually, during their placing and lifespan, they may present free or chemically bonded liquid phases in their structure, demanding careful attention when exposed to high heating rates. Their behavior in such conditions is a challenging problem as it comprises numerous highly nonlinear properties (not easily measured via experimental tests), strongly coupled equations and unreliable experimental benchmarks. Nonetheless, such simulations are of great interest. This work aims to provide a numerical study, checking whether its solution indeed converges and yields reliable results. Additionally, as the model needs several input parameters, this work conducts a sensitivity analysis and also assesses its applicability to more complex scenarios, as such issues remain open in the literature. In order to do that, a simple model that can be easily adapted for mixed formulations and complex geometries was proposed. It was found out that when considering unidimensional models the choices regarding the interpolation of the sorption isotherms are not essential to the numerical stability of the system. Besides that, the permeability and thermal conductivity of the material are the most important parameters that affect the simulation results of pressure, temperature and evaporable water content profiles. Finally, the 2D mesoscale simulation of concrete with polymeric fibers (based on the mixed formulation of the problem) yielded results that agreed with experimental observations. Thus, the model proposed herein can provide a solid base for future works and also important insights towards simpler methodologies.

description: The aim of this contribution is to explore the relationship and possible interactions between phenomenology and neuroscience regarding the intersubjectivity and the experience of the other. Through the analysis of the theory of “mirror neurons”, embodied simulation (neuroscientific domain), and the analysis of Husserl's theory of empathy (phenomenological domain), one can see how much the attempt to reduce the phenomenological experience of intersubjectivity to the neural mechanisms is unfounded and unproductive.

Generalized gravity-gradient mitigation scheme

Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A major challenge in high-precision light-pulse atom interferometric experiments such as in tests of the weak equivalence principle is the uncontrollable dependency of the phase on initial velocity and position of the atoms in the presence of inhomogeneous gravitational fields. To overcome this limitation, mitigation strategies have been proposed, however, valid only for harmonic potentials or only for small branch separations in more general situations. Here we provide a mitigation formula for anharmonic perturbation potentials including local gravitational effects that vary on length scales much smaller than the spatial extent probed by the atoms and originate, e.g., from buildings that surround the experiment. Furthermore, our results are applicable to general interferometer geometries with arbitrary branch separation and allow for compensation of Coriolis effects in rotating reference frames.

description: We report the results of near infrared spectroscopy of 11 luminosity selected candidate planetary mass objects (PMOs) in the Trapezium Cluster with Gemini South/GNIRS and Gemini North/NIRI. 6 have spectral types >=M9, in agreement with expectations for PMOs. 2 have slightly earlier types, and 3 are much earlier types which are probably field stars. 4/6 sources with types >= M9 have pseudo-continuum profiles which confirm them as low gravity cluster members. The gravity status of the other cool dwarfs is less clear but these remain candidate PMOs. The derived number fraction of PMOs with M=3-15 Mjup is 1-14%, these broad limits reflecting the uncertainty in source ages. However, the number fraction with M<20 Mjup is at least 5%. These detections add significantly to the body of evidence that a planetary mass population is produced by the star formation process.

Mapping the ‘Anthropocentric-Ecocentric’ Dualism in the History of American Presidency: the Good, the Bad, and the Ambivalent
Creators: name: El-Kamel Bakari, Mohamed
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: This article examines the way the ‘anthropocentric-ecocentric’ dualism has come to bear on the history of the American presidency since the turn of the century, with special focus on three American Presidents, namely Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and Barak Obama. The major argument in this paper is that this duality constitutes not only a philosophical divergence of views, but also a determinant factor that has guided the beliefs, decisions, and policies of American presidents over more than a century. On account of their contradictory environmental records, both Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan are believed to stand for the two extremes of an ‘anthropocentrism-ecocentrism’ spectrum while Barak Obama ambivalently oscillates in the middle. Coming to power with different, sometimes conflicting, agendas, Presidents Roosevelt, Reagan, and Obama used the presidency as a bully pulpit to implement their ideological vision of nature, the environment, and economic growth in line with either ‘ecocentrism’ or ‘anthropocentrism.’ Focusing on their rhetoric and policies, this article highlights the three presidents’ differentiation along the ‘anthropocentric-ecocentric’ continuum and discusses the divergence of their respective political and philosophical beliefs as well as their implementation strategies. Ultimately, mapping the anthropocentric-ecocentric dualism in the history of American presidency provides a valuable insight into how this divide has been transferred from the philosophical realm to the political one.

description: Little Higgs models are an interesting extension of the Standard Model at the TeV scale. They provide a simple and attractive mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. We review one of the simplest models of this class, the Littlest Higgs model, and its extension with T parity. The model with T parity satisfies precision electroweak constraints without fine-tuning, contains an attractive dark matter candidate, and leads to interesting phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

description: There is growing recognition of the intersection between human rights and climate change. This is reflected in an increase in climate litigation overseas that seeks to use human rights arguments. While climate litigation overseas has been observed as taking a ‘rights turn’, this same trend has not been followed in Australia. This article examines how and why human rights-based climate litigation in Australia has differed from the overseas context. Through a survey of overseas human rights-based climate litigation based on three types of causes of action: international and regional treaties; constitutional rights; and human rights enshrined in statute, this article demonstrates that these causes of action are limited in availability and scope in the Australian context. To respond to these limitations, this article offers two possibilities for human rights-based climate litigation in Australia: using human rights as a tool for statutory interpretation; and using human rights to understand breaches of other laws, such as planning or environmental laws.

Perception of palliative care practice of health care professionals in a mental institution : a descriptive study
Creators: name: Tanner, Carolyn A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this descriptive study is to investigate the perception of practice of health care professionals at a mental institution, as it pertains to their work with dying patients, and also to identify areas of change. The conceptual framework is constructed of six factors important to palliative care that have been identified from the literature. These are personal death anxiety, organizational structure of the hospital system, role expectations of professionals, teamwork, education and training for care of the dying, and conveyance and exchange of diagnostic information. The sample surveyed by a written questionnaire included physicians, psychiatrists, health care workers, social workers and pastoral care workers from the Geriatric Division of Riverview Hospital, Port Coquitlam. The findings indicate that age, sex, marital status and length of working experience at Riverview Hospital had no significant association with personal death anxiety. Informal education such as workshops and in-services had a significant correlation with personal death anxiety, as did perception of being competent and/or confident about working with the dying. The study also raised concerns that not all was being done for the dying patients and their families at this institution. Suggestions such as education and training, support mechanisms, and less stereotyping of professional roles were offered to improve this situation. As well, findings indicated that there was a need for palliative care service either in the form of a team or separate unit, or simply the practicing of the palliative care philosophy.
On the Emergence, Current State, and Future Perspectives of Socially Responsible Investment
Creators: name: Puaschunder, Julia
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: In recent decades Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) emerged into an en vogue investment philosophy. Originating from religious and moral considerations, SRI evolved in the wake of socio-political deficiencies and corporate social conduct. In the global rise of financial social conscientiousness, differing national legislations and regulatory traditions have led to various SRI practices, which are harmonized by the United Nations (UN). Building on the historic advancement of Financial Social Responsibility in the wake of socio-ethical deficiencies, this paper highlights the future potential of SRI in the aftermath of the 2008/09 World Financial Crisis as a means to avert economic market downfalls. During the current financial market reform, additional micro- and macro-research on financial social conduct could foster the idea of Financial Social Responsibility and aid a successful implementation of SRI.

description: We report on the synthesis and physical properties of cm-sized CoGeO$_3$ single crystals grown in a high pressure mirror furnace at pressures of 80~bar. Direction dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements on our single crystals reveal highly anisotropic magnetic properties that we attribute to the impact of strong single ion anisotropy appearing in this system with T$_N$~$\sim$~33.5~K. Furthermore, we observe effective magnetic moments that are exceeding the spin only values of the Co ions which reveals the presence of sizable orbital moments in CoGeO$_3$.

description: Blockchain games introduce unique gameplay and incentive mechanisms by allowing players to be rewarded with in-game assets or tokens through financial activities. However, most blockchain games are not comparable to traditional games in terms of lifespan and player engagement. In this paper, we try to see the big picture in a small way to explore and determine the impact of gameplay and financial factors on player behavior in blockchain games. Taking Aavegotchi as an example, we collect one year of operation data to build player profiles. We perform an in-depth analysis of player behavior from the macroscopic data and apply an unsupervised clustering method to distinguish the attraction of the gameplay and incentives. Our results reveal that the whole game is held up by a small number of players with high-frequent interaction or vast amounts of funds invested. Financial incentives are indispensable for blockchain games for they provide attraction and optional ways for players to engage with the game. However, financial services are tightly linked to the free market. The game will face an irreversible loss of players when the market experiences depression. For blockchain games, well-designed gameplay should be the fundamental basis for the long-lasting retention of players.
Recasting Economics As If the Climate and Global Ecology Really Mattered

description: The current paradigm of global economics with exponential and continuous economic growth is unsustainable as far as Earth system ecology is concerned. To support the Earth system and boost sustainable development, a functional and operational linkage between global ecology and economics should be established – which we term ‘carbonomics’. The simple basis of ‘carbonomics’ is that the more fossil and non-fossil carbon one has as stocks, and not flows, of carbon, the richer one is. This opinion piece makes some suggestions about how we might establish such a balanced relationship.

Accounting for Threats to Sustainable Development: An Indicator for Holding NGOs and International Organizations Accountable to Creating the Context for Sustainable Development
Creators: name: Lempert, David Howard
name: Nguyen, Hue Nhu
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: This article takes the simple, nine point, indicator that the authors devised for determining whether international organizations and governments were fulfilling the professional requirements and international legal mandates for sustainable development interventions and expands it to a second level to account for the management of external (natural) and human-created threats/risks to the context for sustainable development. The standard assumption in sustainable development planning is that communities and countries have controls over their own resources and can then plan their use of resources and their consumption in a way that is sustainable, but the reality is that resources are continually under threat and increasingly from outside sources (e.g., pollution, climate change, war). Since these barriers to sustainable development are often induced by or subject to influence by the very same global powers that comprise the donor community today, the challenge facing communities and programs seeking to achieve sustainability is not merely one of following the appropriate measures of sustainability. The challenge is also one of working to assure that governments and organizations reduce the political and environmental threats that they, themselves, are creating (such as climate change and threats of military conflict) through their own political choices and consumption patterns and the impacts these have for weaker countries and cultures, as well as share superior technology to help reduce other threats where technology can play a role in risk reduction (e.g., planetary threats, global pandemics).

description: We present the observational results of a survey for strong gravitational lens systems consisting of extended emission-line galaxies lensed by intervening early-type galaxies, conducted using integral field units (IFUs) of the Magellan IMACS and Gemini GMOS-N spectrographs. These data are highly valuable for corroborating the lensing interpretation of Hubble Space Telescope imaging data. We show that in many cases, ground-based IFU spectroscopy is in fact competitive with space-based imaging for the measurement of the mass model parameters of the lensing galaxy. We demonstrate a novel technique of three-dimensional gravitational lens modeling for a single lens system with a resolved lensed rotation curve. We also describe the details of our custom IFU data analysis software, which performs optimal multi-fiber extraction, relative and absolute wavelength calibration to a few hundredths of a pixel RMS, and nearly Poisson-limited sky subtraction.

description: Road accidents or maintenance often lead to the blockage of roads, causing severe traffic congestion. Diverted routes after road blockage are often decided individually and have no coordination. Here, we employ the cavity approach in statistical physics to obtain both analytical results and optimization algorithms to optimally divert and coordinate individual vehicle routes after road blockage. Depending on the number and the location of the blocked roads, we found that there can be a significant change in traveling path of individual vehicles, and a large increase in the average traveling distance and cost. Interestingly, traveling distance decreases but traveling cost increases for some instances of diverted traffic. By comparing networks with different topology and connectivity, we observe that the number of alternative routes play a crucial role in suppressing the increase in traveling cost after road blockage. We tested our algorithm using the England highway network and found that coordinated diversion can suppress the increase in traveling cost by as much as 66$\%$ in the scenarios studied. These results reveal the advantages brought by the optimally coordinated traffic diversion after road blockage.

description: This article develops a bootstrap analogue of the well-known asymptotic expansion of the tail quantile process in extreme value theory. One application of this result is to construct confidence intervals for estimators of the extreme value index such as the Probability Weighted Moment (PWM) estimator. For the peaks-over-threshold method, we show the bootstrap consistency of the confidence intervals. By contrast, the asymptotic expansion of the quantile process of the bootstrapped block maxima does not lead to a similar consistency result for the PWM estimator using the block maxima method. For both methods, We show by simulations that the sample variance of bootstrapped estimates can be a good approximation for the asymptotic variance of the original estimator.

description: High-resolution magneto-optical technique was used to analyze flux patterns in the intermediate state of bulk Pb samples of various shapes - cones, hemispheres and discs. Combined with the measurements of macroscopic magnetization these results allowed studying the effect of bulk pinning and geometric barrier on the equilibrium structure of the intermediate state. Zero-bulk pinning discs and slabs show hysteretic behavior due to geometric barrier that results in a topological hysteresis -- flux tubes on penetration and lamellae on flux exit. (Hemi)spheres and cones do not have geometric barrier and show no hysteresis with flux tubes dominating the intermediate field region. It is concluded that flux tubes represent the equilibrium topology of the intermediate state in reversible samples, whereas laminar structure appears in samples with magnetic hysteresis (either bulk or geometric).

description: Ten protostellar outflows in the Orion molecular clouds were mapped in the $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO ${J=6\rightarrow5}$ and $^{12}$CO ${J=7\rightarrow6}$ lines. The maps of these mid-$J$ CO lines have an angular resolution of about 10$''$ and a typical field size of about 100$''$. Physical parameters of the molecular outflows were derived, including mass transfer rates, kinetic luminosities, and outflow forces. The outflow sample was expanded by re-analyzing archival data of nearby low-luminosity protostars, to cover a wide range of bolometric luminosities. Outflow parameters derived from other transitions of CO were compared. The mid-$J$ ($J_{\rm up} \approx 6$) and low-$J$ ($J_{\rm up} \leq 3$) CO line wings trace essentially the same outflow component. By contrast, the high-$J$ (up to $J_{\rm up} \approx 50$) line-emission luminosity of CO shows little correlation with the kinetic luminosity from the ${J=6\rightarrow5}$ line, which suggests that they trace distinct components. The low/mid-$J$ CO line wings trace long-term outflow behaviors while the high-$J$ CO lines are sensitive to short-term activities. The correlations between the outflow parameters and protostellar properties are presented, which shows that the strengths of molecular outflows increase with bolometric luminosity and envelope mass.

It is shown that this manifold consists of critical motions generating a smooth sheet of the bifurcation diagram, and the induced dynamic system is Hamiltonian with certain subset of points of degeneration of the symplectic structure. We find the transformation separating variables in this system. As a result, the solutions can be represented in terms of elliptic functions of time. The corresponding phase topology is completely described.

Procuramos, ainda, destacar a democracia como valor, como um processo de legitimidade sobre a intolerância intelectual e a exclusão social. A democracia, desde o seu aparecimento nas antigas sociedades gregas, consiste no poder assente no povo. Deste modo, pode afirmar-se que, numa determinada sociedade, o poder pertence ao povo. Uma das características fundamentais do actual estágio da modernidade é a legitimidade da democracia como forma de organização política das sociedades actuais. Logo, a democracia reveste-se da dupla figura de um ideal portador de igualdade, de liberdade e da participação dos cidadãos na vida pública. As outras preocupações que pretendemos discutir prendem-se com a abordagem analítica e histórica da relação entre democracia e totalitarismo. O comunismo é apontado como um sistema totalitário, autoritário e ditatorial, pelo que, no período contemporâneo, o estudo do totalitarismo mostra-se essencial para a compreensão dos fenómenos actuais, na medida em que não existe um sistema totalitário que não seja contemporaneamente autoritário e ditatorial. Nossa abordagem permite identificar em Angola a existência de um processo com regras democráticas, mas que convive, com um conteúdo substantivo totalitário, de exclusão social e de violência.

Palavras-chave: Angola, democracia, totalitarismo, intolerância intelectual, exclusão social.

description: Let X be a Calabi-Yau 3-fold, T=D^b(coh(X)) the derived category of coherent sheaves on X, and Stab(T) the complex manifold of Bridgeland stability conditions Z on T. It is conjectured that one can define rational numbers J^a(Z) for Z in Stab(T) and a in the numerical Grothendieck group K(T) generalizing Donaldson-Thomas invariants, which `count' Z-semistable (complexes of) coherent sheaves on X in class a, and whose transformation law under change of Z is known. This paper explains how to combine such invariants J^a(Z), if they exist, into a family of holomorphic generating functions F^a:Stab(T) --> C. Surprisingly, requiring the F^a to be continuous and holomorphic determines them essentially uniquely, and implies they satisfy a p.d.e., which can be interpreted as the flatness of a connection over Stab(T) with values in an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra L. The author believes that underlying this mathematics there should be some new physics, in String Theory and Mirror Symmetry. String Theorists are invited to work out and explain this new physics.

description: Properties of a quantum mushroom billiard in the form of a superconducting microwave resonator have been investigated. They reveal unexpected nonuniversal features such as, e.g., a supershell effect in the level density and a dip in the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution. Theoretical predictions for the quantum properties of mixed systems rely on the sharp separability of phase space - an unusual property met by mushroom billiards. We however find deviations which are ascribed to the presence of dynamic tunneling.

LA POETICA DELLA RÊVERIE NEL «ROMANZO» DI FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT
Creators: name: CARDINALI, DORIS
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2014
Subjects: History of Cinema; Theory of Cinema; Truffaut; Poetics of Reverie

description: Literature is a fundamental aspect of François Truffaut’s cinema. In his movies it is possible to find these two great passions – literature and cinema – which are always strictly connected together. The bibliography on the relationship between Truffaut and literature allows to study in depth what may be defined «Le roman de François Truffaut», to quote the title of a special issue of the French review «Cahiers du cinéma», published in December 1984. Such «roman» is characterized by movies, as well as by letters and critical writings, which concern the work of the author. This paper is mainly concerned with Truffaut’s artistic project in terms of screen versions of a literary work that produced movies like «livres filmés» – as some film critics call them – through the use of that creative force which literary culture defines with the term of rêverie; besides, in this essay the philosophical conception of rêverie developed by Gaston Bachelard in his book La poétique de la reverie (1960) is applied to the “literary cinema” of Truffaut.

Improper Subjects: Thoughts on Discrimination Bills and Online Discrimination Against Lgbtiq People

description: Abstract: In Argentina, Lgbtiq organizations have recently attempted to change anti-discriminations bills with no luck. Some of their legislative bills included requests to regulate online content. Here I argue that discrimination bills must include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and its expressions. But our study showed that moderators cannot help protect users from hateful content and can do very little to prevent violence in online spaces. We found that attacks against Lgbtiq people in Lgbtiq blogs were common, and they are now being discriminated against in the name of freedom of speech and religious freedom. Moreover, the perpetrators used religious discrimination as a way to defend themselves from further attacks. Keywords: discrimination, Lgbtiq, communication, Internet, blogs.

The Winding Ways of Development: A Historical Journey of a Road in the Putumayo Region of Colombia
Creators: name: Martínez, Simón Uribe
Publisher: name: Consilience

description: Roads are by nature a contested subject. Although they represent vital infrastructure to enable the flow of people, goods and ideas, their potential detrimental effects for humans and the environment have been a constant source of debate and criticism. This is particularly true for natural resource-rich regions such as the Amazon, where the development of roads has been directly associated with rampant deforestation and resource extraction, uncontrolled colonization and dispossession of indigenous lands. Yet the impact of roads goes far beyond their direct social and environmental costs and benefits. In many places of the world, roads have a strong evocative power, as they represent spaces that materially and symbolically embody ideas such as „modernity,‟ „progress,‟ „backwardness‟ and „development.‟ Combining multi-sited ethnography and historical analysis, this photo essay attempts to document the past, present, and likely future of a road in Putumayo, a region of southwest Colombia that has been traditionally considered a marginal frontier, and which has also become internationally known for the production of cocaine and the violence that has come with it. The road, as I will try to show, invites reflection about the complexities inherent to the different meanings and realities of development.

The Art of Development: Images Promoting Dialogue and Alternatives to Poverty and Violence in Local Communities of Colombia
Creators: name: Rojas, Natali
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Sueños Films Colombia is a grassroots organization based in Ciudad Bolivar, southern Bogotá-Colombia. For over ten years, this community-based project has offered diverse art activities including audiovisual training, documentary production workshops, forums on cinema and an international film festival. This innovative community organization promotes the active participation of local people, enabling them to use the arts to express themselves, to interact with others and to find collective solutions for their community. ‘The Art of Development’ collects material from the time that I have spent in Ciudad Bolivar and other marginalized barrios/neighborhoods of Bogotá and Manizales. Since May 2010, I have been assisting several projects that Sueños Films Colombia has organized, including filmmaking seminars and workshops, while producing ethnographic material for my Masters thesis. Through the following images, I hope to share the power of the arts in promoting alternatives to poverty and violence, along with, even more importantly, the strength of the local Colombian people. I have been inspired by children taking their first photos, elderly learning video editing from their grandsons or neighbors, and the energy moving groups of people from different generations to develop projects collectively.

description: The application of nanocrystals as heterogeneous catalysts and plasmonic nanoparticles requires fine control of their shape and chemical composition. A promising idea to achieve synergistic effects is to combine two distinct chemical and/or physical functionalities in bi-metallic core-shell nanocrystals. Although techniques for the synthesis of single-component nanocrystals with spherical or anisotropic shape are well established, new methods are sought to tailor multicomponent nanocrystals. Here, we probe etching in a controlled redox environment as a synthesis technique for multi-component nanocrystals. Our Monte Carlo computer simulations demonstrate the appearance of characteristic non-equilibrium intermediate microstructures that are further thermodynamically tested and analyzed with molecular dynamics. Convex platelet, concave polyhedron, pod, cage and strutted-cage shapes are obtained at room temperature with fully coherent structure exposing crystallographic facets and chemical elements along distinct particle crystallographic directions. We observe that structural and dynamic properties are markedly modified compared to the untreated compact nanocrystal.

description: The abundances of free-living species have changed dramatically in recent decades, but little is known about change in the abundance of parasitic species. We investigated whether populations of several parasites have shifted over time in two shore crab hosts, Hemigrapsus oregonensis and H. nudus, by comparing the prevalence and abundance of three parasite taxa in a historical dataset (1969–1970) to contemporary parasite abundance (2018–2020) for hosts collected from 11 intertidal sites located from Oregon, USA, to British Columbia, Canada. Our data suggest that the abundance of the parasitic isopod Portunion conformis has varied around a stable mean for the past 50 years. No change over time was observed for larval acanthocephalans. However, larval microphallid trematodes increased in prevalence over time among H. oregonensis hosts, from a mean of 4.7–61.8% between the historical and contemporary time points. The substantial increase in the prevalence of larval microphallid trematodes could be due to increased abundances of their bird final hosts, increased production of parasite infective stages by snail intermediate hosts or both. Our study highlights the variability among parasite species in their temporal trajectories of change.
