description: Background: The Djallonke sheep is well adapted to harsh environmental conditions, and is relatively resistant to Haemonchosis and resilient to animal trypanosomiasis. The larger Sahelian sheep, which cohabit the same region, is less well adapted to these disease challenges. Haemonchosis and Trypanosomiasis collectively cost the worldwide animal industry billions of dollars in production losses annually. Results: Here, we separately sequenced and then pooled according to breed the genomes from five unrelated individuals from each of the Djallonke and Sahelian sheep breeds (sourced from Ghana), at greater than 22-fold combined coverage for each breed. A total of approximately 404 million (97%) and 343 million (97%) sequence reads from the Djallonke and Sahelian breeds respectively, were successfully mapped to the sheep reference genome Oar v3.1. We identified approximately 11.1 million and 10.9 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Djallonke and Sahelian breeds, with approximately 15 and 16% respectively of these not previously reported in sheep. Multiple regions of reduced heterozygosity were also found; 70 co-localised within genomic regions harbouring genes that mediate disease resistance, immune response and adaptation in sheep or cattle. Thirty- three of the regions of reduced heterozygosity co-localised with previously reported genes for resistance to haemonchosis and trypanosomiasis. Conclusions: Our analyses suggest that these regions of reduced heterozygosity may be signatures of selection for these economically important diseases.

description: © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The abuse of children in institutional settings is an issue of ongoing social, public, and political concern internationally. While societal responses to historical abuse have been the subject of considerable scholarship in recent years, conceptualisation of the role of activism remains limited. This article aims to advance sociological and interdisciplinary perspectives on nonrecent institutional child abuse through a conceptualisation of activist mobilisation. The article begins by providing context for the emergence of institutional child abuse as a social issue. A brief overview of key themes and debates in the interdisciplinary literature is then offered, and a critical gap in current scholarship is identified in relation to activism. Drawing on illustrative examples of activist mobilisation, both in the form of survivor narratives and strategies aimed at influencing policy, the article sets out how a sociology of activism in the field of historical institutional child abuse might proceed. Through attention to the social dynamics of activism, and conceptualisation of collective action in this domain as a social movement, the article provides new insights for the field and an alternative to sociological theorisation of responses to historical institutional child abuse as simply constituting a public scandal or moral panic.

description:
Emergence of the betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in a historic pandemic, with millions of deaths worldwide. An unprecedented effort has been made by the medical, scientific, and public health communities to rapidly develop and implement vaccines and therapeutics to prevent and reduce hospitalizations and deaths. Although SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to disease in many organ systems, the respiratory system is its main target, with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome as the hallmark features of severe disease. The large number of patients who have contracted COVID-19 infections since 2019 has permitted a detailed characterization of the clinical and pathologic features of the disease in humans. However, continued progress in the development of effective preventatives and therapies requires a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of infection. Studies using animal models are necessary to complement in vitro findings and human clinical data. Multiple animal species have been evaluated as potential models for studying the respiratory disease caused by SARSCoV-2 infection. Knowing the similarities and differences between animal and human responses to infection is critical for effective translation of animal data into human medicine. This review provides a detailed summary of the respiratory disease and associated pathology induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans and compares them with the disease that develops in 3 commonly used models: NHP, hamsters, and mice. The effective use of animals to study SARS-CoV-2-induced respiratory disease will enhance our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis, allow the development of novel preventatives and therapeutics, and aid in the preparation for the next emerging virus with pandemic potential.

description: Background: Healer's Art (HA) is a voluntary course offered during medical school. The course aims to address the growing loss of meaning and commitment experienced by doctors through the exploration of compassion, empathy and awe in medicine, and early exposure to a supportive community of practice. This project aimed to evaluate the potential influence of HA on junior doctor graduates. Methods: Junior doctors who had undertaken HA during their medical studies were interviewed. A thematic analysis was performed on the results of these semi-structured interviews. Results: Ten junior doctors who had undertaken the HA course participated in interviews. All interviewees described the HA as a positive and enlightening experience in their medical education. The thematic analysis identified four major themes: Developing empathy in the doctor-patient journey, self-care and self-awareness, the creation of a supportive community, and coping with the challenging medical culture. Conclusions: HA provides experiential learning that enables participants to explore humanistic medicine. Self-selected junior doctors recall the course as a positive experience, and perceive themselves to be continuing to employ the techniques from HA in the healthcare setting. The concepts taught in the HA course appear to have a lasting personal impact on some junior doctors, who identify the course as influencing their self-reported positive patient-doctor relationships and supportive relationships with medical peers.

description: The present study aims to evaluate the effect of pre percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) atorvastatin reload on peripheral monocyte of toll-like receptor 2 and toll like receptor 4 expression and their correlation with cardiac injury markers (troponin I and creatine kinase Muscle brain isoenzyme) in a patient with stable angina. A double-blind randomized prospective trial in which 60 stable angina patients scheduled for an elective PCI were randomly allocated into two groups after, control group: 30 patients who received low dose atorvastatin 40 mg daily without reload. Atorvastatin reloads group: 30 patients who were already on the usual dose of atorvastatin with further 80 mg and 40 mg at 12 & 2 hrs. before PCI, respectively. TLR2 and TLR4 levels were assayed in peripheral monocyte by flow cytometry and cardiac troponin I, CK-MB, MCP-1 and HMG-box-1 protein were also measured before and at 4 hrs, 12 hrs after PCI. Stent implantation was associated with an elevation in TLR2 and TLR4 expression in peripheral monocyte in both study groups after stenting but significantly higher expression level was observed among the control group (P<0.05) at 4 hr and 12 hr post PCI. Inflammatory cytokine (HMG Box-1 protein MCP-1) were remarkably elevated after stenting in both. study groups (P < 0.005) but significantly higher in control group as compared to the atorvastatin reload group (P < 0. 0 5) also myocardial injury markers (CKMB, troponin I) were significantly higher in control group than atorvastatin reload group (P < 0. 0 5) there is a positive correlation between TLR2 and TLR4 expression with serum level of cardiac troponin I and CK-MB Atorvastatin reload before coronary artery interventions attenuate toll-like receptor 2 and 4 expressions on peripheral monocyte and significantly reduce serum level of HMG-box-1 protein, MCP-1 and cardiac injury markers (CK_MB and cardiac troponin I) and Increase peripheral monocyte expression of TLR2 and TLR4 associated with elevated serum level of cardiac injury markers (CK_MB and cardiac troponin I).

description: Copyright © 2019 Techno-Press, Ltd. A shear-deformable finite element model (FEM) with five nodes and thirteen degrees of freedom (DOFs) for free vibrations of laminated composite beams with arbitrary lay-up is presented. This model can be capable of considering the elastic couplings among the extensional, bending and torsional deformations, and the Poisson’s effect. Lagrange’s principle is employed in derivation of the equations of motion, and thus the element matrices are obtained. Comparisons of the present element’s results with those in experiment, available literature and the 3D finite element analysis software (ANSYS®) are made to show its accuracy. Some further results are given as referencing for the future studies in vibrations of laminated composite beamst.
Atomic, Crystalline and Powder Characteristics of Treated Zirconia and Silica Powders

description: Zirconium oxide and silicon dioxide powders are selected and subjected to a non-contact Biofield energy known to be transmitted by Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. Particle sizes d50 and d99 showed up to 71.5 percent decrease indicating that the energy had caused deformation and fracture as if the powders have been subjected to high energy milling. This is also supported by increase in specific surface area up to 19.48 percent.

In the present investigation Zirconium oxide and silicon dioxide powders are exposed to Bio-field. Both the exposed and unexposed powders are later characterized by various techniques. The treated powders when characterized by X-ray diffraction are found to exhibit significant increase and decrease in the lattice parameters of the unit cell, crystallite size and density. The lattice parameters are then used to compute the molecular weight and total number of protons and neutrons in the molecule, which showed an increase up to 0.24 and decrease up to 0.31 percent. It is speculated that the Biofield energy transmitted by Mr. Trivedi is acting on the nucleus in the atoms through some reversible weak interaction of larger cross section causing changes in the proton to neutron ratios and thus energy to mass and mass to energy. Thus the effect is felt by all the atoms, and hence the unit cell, single crystal grain and grain boundaries. The stresses generated in turn may have caused deformation and fracture of the weak interfaces in the polycrystalline powders such as the crystallite and grain boundaries.

This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Glioblastoma (GB) is the most lethal brain tumor, and Wingless (Wg)-related integration site (WNT) pathway activation in these tumors is associated with a poor prognosis. Clinically, the disease is characterized by progressive neurological deficits. However, whether these symptoms result from direct or indirect damage to neurons is still unresolved. Using Drosophila and primary xenografts as models of human GB, we describe, here, a mechanism that leads to activation of WNT signaling (Wg in Drosophila) in tumor cells. GB cells display a network of tumor microtubes (TMs) that enwrap neurons, accumulate Wg receptor Frizzled1 (Fz1), and, thereby, deplete Wg from neurons, causing neurodegeneration. We have defined this process as “vampirization.” Furthermore, GB cells establish a positive feedback loop to promote their expansion, in which the Wg pathway activates cJun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in GB cells, and, in turn, JNK signaling leads to the post-transcriptional up-regulation and accumulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which facilitate TMs’ infiltration throughout the brain, TMs’ network expansion, and further Wg depletion from neurons. Consequently, GB cells proliferate because of the activation of the Wg signaling target, β-catenin, and neurons degenerate because of Wg signaling extinction. Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism for TM production, infiltration, and maintenance that can explain both neuron-dependent tumor progression and also the neural decay associated with GB.
Shelter skelter: record stores during the pandemic and the new selling of old stuff

description:
In this essay I draw on observations about how the pandemic impacted sales of vinyl records, in order to describe a (further) dis-embedding of brick-and-mortar second-hand stores from their local economies and communities. Before the pandemic, the majority of vinyl was already being purchased online; while buyers and sellers were sheltering in place, the vinyl marketplace’s reliance on the internet became total, and vinyl traffic skewed more than ever toward used records. Nearly all record stores had an online presence before the pandemic, and shops that already had an online sales system in place and a customer base accustomed to buying online had an enormous head start toward staying solvent while sheltering in place. During the pandemic, Instagram joined sites like Discogs and eBay as a platform for vinyl sales, and social media graduated from primarily functioning as a means of promotion for record stores and became a requisite component of sales infrastructure. I ask how local merchants of vintage goods like records can maintain a local orientation despite shifting away from local customers.

description: Genocide and Global Peace: Understanding the Devastating Impact and Strategies for Prevention

This topic delves into the dark and catastrophic consequences of genocide, exploring how it disrupts societies, traumatizes generations, and threatens global peace. By examining historical and recent instances, it seeks to understand the conditions and ideologies that drive communities and nations to such extremes of violence. Key themes include the psychological, cultural, and social devastation wrought by genocide, along with an analysis of how global organizations and leaders have responded—or failed to respond—in various cases. This study also evaluates the effectiveness of international legal frameworks, early warning systems, and intervention strategies aimed at preventing genocides. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of education, diplomacy, and cross-border cooperation in fostering resilience, promoting peace, and developing actionable strategies to prevent such atrocities in the future.

description: Background: Whole-genome sequence (WGS) data could contain information on genetic variants at or in high linkage disequilibrium with causative mutations that underlie the genetic variation of polygenic traits. Thus far, genomic prediction accuracy has shown limited increase when using such information in dairy cattle studies, in which one or few breeds with limited diversity predominate. The objective of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of genomic prediction in a multi-breed Australian sheep population of relatively less related target individuals, when using information on imputed WGS genotypes. Methods: Between 9626 and 26,657 animals with phenotypes were available for nine economically important sheep production traits and all had WGS imputed genotypes. About 30% of the data were used to discover predictive single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) based on a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and the remaining data were used for training and validation of genomic prediction. Prediction accuracy using selected variants from imputed sequence data was compared to that using a standard array of 50k SNP genotypes, thereby comparing genomic best linear prediction (GBLUP) and Bayesian methods (BayesR/BayesRC). Accuracy of genomic prediction was evaluated in two independent populations that were each lowly related to the training set, one being purebred Merino and the other crossbred Border Leicester x Merino sheep. Results: A substantial improvement in prediction accuracy was observed when selected sequence variants were fitted alongside 50k genotypes as a separate variance component in GBLUP (2GBLUP) or in Bayesian analysis as a separate category of SNPs (BayesRC). From an average accuracy of 0.27 in both validation sets for the 50k array, the average absolute increase in accuracy across traits with 2GBLUP was 0.083 and 0.073 for purebred and crossbred animals, respectively, whereas with BayesRC it was 0.102 and 0.087. The average gain in accuracy was smaller when selected sequence variants were treated in the same category as 50k SNPs. Very little improvement over 50k prediction was observed when using all WGS variants. Conclusions: Accuracy of genomic prediction in diverse sheep populations increased substantially by using variants selected from whole-genome sequence data based on an independent multi-breed GWAS, when compared to genomic prediction using standard 50K genotypes.

description: Global emergence of Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) displays a mechanism of resistance to all existing antimicrobials. Due to its strong ability to acquire resistance, there is a need of some alternative treatment strategy. Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of biofield treatment on antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of P. fluorescens. P. fluorescens cells were procured from MicroBioLogics in sealed packs bearing the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 49838) number. Two sets of ATCC samples were taken in this experiment and denoted as A and B. ATCC-A sample was revived and divided into two groups (Gr) i.e. Gr.I (control) and Gr.II (revived); likewise, ATCC-B was labeled as Gr.III (lyophilized). Gr.II and III were given biofield treatment and were measured by MicroScan Walk-Away® system before and after treatment. Parameters studied in experiment were antimicrobial sensitivity, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), biochemical reactions, and biotype number of both control and treatment groups using MicroScan Walk-Away® system. Experimental results showed antimicrobials such as cefepime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, piperacillin, tetracycline, and tobramycin showed altered sensitivity and MIC values in treated group as compared to control. Biochemical reactions showed positive reaction in malonate, melibiose, nitrate, galactosidase, ornithine, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, tobramycin and Voges-Proskauer in Gr.II. Arabinose, colistin, glucose, and rhaminose also showed positive reactions in Gr.II on day 10 while arginine and cetrimide showed negative reaction in Gr.III as compared to control. Biochemical tests results revealed a change in biotype number in Gr.II (34101173, day 5), (77103177, a very rare biotype on day 10) and Gr.III (40000043) as compared to control (02041722). Organism was identified as Enterobacter cloacae (GrII, day 10) and Vibrio fluvialis (Gr.III, day 10) with respect to control. These findings suggest that biofield treatment made significant alteration in sensitivity pattern, MIC values, and biotype number of P. fluorescens.

description: Roberts, AH, Walden, AJ, Carter, KA, and Symons, TB. Effect of sport-specific constraints on aerobic capacity in high school field hockey players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2019-Many sports require the use of a mouth guard (MG) and carrying an object during play. Research has shown that individually these conditions can cause performance decrements; however, no research has been conducted into the effect of combining both mouth guard and stick with adolescent female field hockey players. This study aimed to determine the effects of MG and stick (STK) use on estimated aerobic capacity over the course of a season long training and competition period. Thirty-eight female high school field hockey players were separated into 2 groups: experimental (EXP-all training with MG-STK) or control (CTL-all training without MG-STK). Aerobic capacity was estimated using a multi-stage fitness test. Field hockey specific training prescribed by coaching staff was performed throughout the study, with testing at pre-, mid- and post-season. Subjects performed 2 sets of testing at each time point, first without MG-STK (WOMG-STK) and then with MG-STK. No main effect was observed in aerobic capacity estimations between groups; however, MG-STK testing reduced estimated aerobic capacity at each time point, regardless of the group (WOMG-STK: 37.4 ± 6. mL·kg·min vs. MG-STK: 33.2 ± 4. mL·kg·min; p < 0.01). Chronic use of MG-STK does not seem to negatively impact estimates of aerobic capacity over the course of a season in high school field hockey players. Therefore, players should be encouraged to use MGs during all training sessions as it increases safety and familiarity with no decrement in long-term physiological performance.

Does ideological clarification help language maintenance? Exploring the revitalization paradox through the case of manegacha, a Tibetan minority language

description: Studies of language maintenance and revitalization have often demonstrated an apparent paradox: even when people have positive attitudes towards a language, they may not engage in behaviors that support it. It has been suggested that contradictory ideas hinder language maintenance and revitalization, so that ideological clarification is required before beginning such programs. I question these claims through a case study of Manegacha, a minoritized language of Tibet. It seems that there is, in fact, no necessary link between contradictory attitudes and ideologies and language shift; what seems to be significant is the nature and intensity of contradiction, not its mere presence or absence.

description: Genus Streptogonopus Attems, 1914
The genus Streptogonopus Attems, 1914 encompasses six distinct species, each with unique geographic distributions and morphological characteristics. The distribution of Streptogonopus species varies across different regions. S. jerdani Pocock, 1892 and S. nitens Attems 1936 are exclusively found in India, while S. phipsoni Pocock, 1892 shows a wider distribution across various oriental regions such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. Additionally, S. degerboelae Golovatch, 2000 and S. montanus Nguyen et al., 2016 are predominantly found in Southeast Asia, specifically in Thailand and Vietnam, respectively. S. neglectus Jeekel, 2004 was initially described in the East African country Eritrea, but has since also been observed in West African countries like Senegal and Mauritania (GBIF.com). S. phipsoni and S. montanus have been found in high-altitudinal regions (Nguyen et al. 2016, Golovatch & Martens 2018).
This genus is characterized by distinct morphological features, notably the solenophore and solenomere twisting. Solenomere is sheathed by the solenophore (Figs 6, 7). Within this genus, two distinct groups can be identified based on the size of their paranota: one group with short or absent paranota, including S. jerdani and S. degerboelae, and the other group with well-developed paranota, comprising the remaining species (Nguyen et al. 2016).
Two Streptogonopus species have been identified in the Gujarat region of India: S. nitens and S. phipsoni. While S. phipsoni is distributed throughout India, S. nitens was recorded only once at Ahmedabad in 1936 (Attems 1936), although it is known to inhabit various parts of the Gujarat state.

description:
Young Black men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV evidence the lowest rates of linkage to care and viral suppression of all US MSM. Kentucky, identified by the US Department of Health and Human Services as a “hot spot” state with elevated HIV incidence compared to the rest of the country, exhibits similar racialized outcomes. Structural, interpersonal, and individual drivers of engagement along the HIV care continuum among people living with HIV have been identified, primarily through quantitative designs. However, the mechanisms by which these factors shape HIV care engagement, and the ways they may combine or reinforce each other, as well as from the lived experience of young Black MSM living with HIV, have been studied to a lesser extent. In this study, a purposive sample of n = 29 HIV-positive young Black MSM (age M = 25 years old; 38% retained in care) residing in Kentucky participated in in-depth interviews. Factors that were most influential on engagement varied along the continuum, with health insurance status and knowledge of HIV being relatively more influential to diagnosis, and housing stability, psychological processes, and interpersonal relationships being more influential on retention. For some participants, barriers to care at multiple levels had a mutually influencing and intensifying impact on care engagement. Additional efforts to center the voices of young Black MSM living with HIV will help illuminate acceptable and sustainable interventions for increasing their care engagement and narrowing persistent racial disparities in HIV morbidity and mortality.
Childlessness and Development

description: This paper leverages harmonized micro-data consisting of 82 million females from 164 household surveys covering 72 unique countries from all income levels to investigate the relationship between childlessness and development. Empirically, I find that childlessness rates display a U-shaped pattern with development at country, subgroups and individual levels, which contribute to 1/3 of heterogeneity of aggregate fertility across countries. Moreover, females in richer countries and those are more educated delay their fertility, suggested by the life- cycle childlessness rates. Combining these novel empirical findings, I construct a two-period model under a parsimonious set of assumptions to speak to the empirical finding: when the wage growth effect dominates the wage level effect, females choose to delay fertility; childlessness is driven by natural sterilization and different preference for number of children.
THEME: HOW DO PEOPLE COMMUNICATE WHEN THERE IS NO SHARED LANGUAGE

description: Communication plays a central role in shaping a person's Identity, hence it is key to establish a connection with others. This research explores the way of communication among humans when the shared language is unavailable. Clearly, the researcher explains some methods to communicate without shared language. These strategies are non-verbal communication, visual aids, and simplified language. The process of communicating through these alternatives is also depicted in this research work. Historical examples are provided to prove the use of methods below because history can be the primary model to explain the process. People easily can adopt the new circumstances, so the author analyzes the practice of these three approaches. This research explains an exploration of how these approaches continue to be relevant in the modern, technologically advanced world.

description: Streptogonopus nitens Attems, 1936
Material Examined: Male (SPC0006) from Gujarat University in Ahmedabad, 23° 2' 14.9'' N, 72° 32' 45.86'' E, Gujarat, India, 68 m. alt., 5 August 2023, R. A. Dave (Fig. 6).
Female (SPC0007) from Bhuj in Kutch, 23° 10' 53.36" N, 69° 40' 2.34" E, Gujarat, India, 224 m. alt., 7 August 2023. R. A. Dave.
Habitat Preferences: Streptogonopus nitens Attems, 1936 prefer habitats characterized by humid conditions and black and sandy soil. It thrives mainly in soil with high water content, indicating a preference for environments with ample moisture. This species shows swarming behaviour (Fig. 9D).
Seasonal Occurrence in Gujarat: In the Gujarat region of India, this species is observed for a relatively short time. It emerges from its habitat around early June and remains active until the beginning of August. This narrow activity window suggests a specific seasonal pattern in the Gujarat region.
Morphology: The identification of S. nitens is facilitated by its unique and discernible morphological features. Colouration predominantly brown, with the metazona displaying a smooth surface interrupted by a transverse sulcus across their dorsal sides. Both the legs and antennae share brown colouration, while the tarsal region of the legs is notably yellow. Paranota rounded posteriorly. Pleurosternal carinae, caudally rounded, and lobiform are the main characteristics of S. nitens. Lateral keels of ring 2 project neither anteriorly nor posteriorly, narrow and developed thereafter only in the posterior two-thirds of the metazonite, gradually vanishing in the first third (Attems 1936) (Fig. 6).
The gonopods show distinct morphological features. Long coxite and relatively short prefemorite. Broad femorite with a short and blunt tooth near its apex. Acropodite displays a spiral twist, contributing to their unique configuration (Fig. 5). These illustrations match exactly those provided by Attems (1936).

description: Streptogonopus phipsoni Pocock, 1892
Material Examined: Male (SPC0008) from Timbavadi in Junagadh, 21° 30' 17.93'' N, 70° 26' 1.63'' E, Gujarat, India, 82 m. alt., 9 August 2023, R. A. Dave (Fig. 8).
Habitat Preferences: Streptogonopus phipsoni Pocock, 1892 is found in various places in India. Grassy, black soil is the habitat of this species.
Seasonal Occurrence in Gujarat: This species seems to show a higher tolerance capacity to survive than S. nitens. This species emerges in mid-June and remains active until the end of October in Gujarat. In unassertive conditions, it tries to move upward over the grass or small plants (Fig. 9C).
Morphology: S. phipsoni is smaller in size as compared to S. nitens. Colouration chestnut. Metazona smooth, but behind the transverse sulcus, it has yellow straps. Both legs and antennae share brown colouration, while tarsal region of legs is notably yellow. Pleurosternal carinae caudally dentiform, vs lobiform in S. nitens. The lateral keels of the 2 nd ring are long and set below the level of the following rings (Attems 1936) (Fig. 8).
Both species of Streptogonopus Attems, 1914 are quite similar in morphology, but they can easily be distinguished by their gonopod structures. The gonopod prefemorite is short in the S. phipsoni as compared to S. nitens. The femorite is short and broad. The acropodite is more strongly spiralled and curved, and narrowly pointed (Fig. 7). These features are identical to those illustrated by Attems (1936) for S. phipsoni.

Subjects: subject: Longlining (Fisheries)--Catch effort--American Samoa--Observations.

description: The following tables represent effort, retained catch (kept) and discard as reported on longline log sheets for the American Samoa limited-access longline fishery. Effort and catch-effort statistics are based on date of longline haul. Effort and catch statistics are based on logbook data submitted to the PIFSC, FRMD and represent an Oracle table LLDS_REPORT_STATS_AS database extraction done on 21 June 2016. When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) can involve dates of haul in 2 summary periods (i.e. years, semi-annual, quarters) the item is counted in both summary periods. Thus, a trip total is for 'partial and completed' trips. As such, these are not additive statistics (i.e. sum of 4 quarters is not the total for the year, etc).
