title: Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes against <i>Cydalima perspectalis</i> and <i>Hyphantria cunea</i> (Lepidoptera), two invasive forest pests in Iran

description: The box tree moth (BTM), <i>Cydalima perspectalis</i>, and the fall webworm (FWW), <i>Hyphantria cunea</i> are two invasive forest pests in northern Iran. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are usually compatible with integrated pest management programs. In this study, the efficacy of five isolates of EPNs was evaluated against the two pests in laboratory and field conditions. LC<sub>50</sub> values of <i>Steinernema carpocapsae</i> (IRTabriz), <i>S. feltiae</i> (IRTabriz), <i>S. feltiae</i> (Entonem), <i>Oscheius rugaoensis</i> and <i>Heterorhabditis bacteriophora</i> (IRTabriz) were as follow: 44.8, 66.5, 113.8, 190.7 and 515.9 infective juveniles (IJs) larva<sup>−1</sup> on the fifth instar larvae of BTM; and 75.2, 96.6, 131.0, 258.0 and 292.5 IJs larva<sup>−1</sup> on fifth instar larvae of FWW, respectively in the laboratory tests 48 h post-treatment at 25 °C and 60% relative humidity. Under field conditions, the foliar applications of <i>S. carpocapsae</i> (IRTabriz), <i>S. feltiae</i> (IRTabriz), and <i>S. feltiae</i> (Entonem) at the rate of 10<sup>6</sup> IJs L<sup>−1</sup> resulted in 36–58% mortality after 48 h against BTM and 15–52% mortality against FWW, respectively. The results demonstrate that EPNs are promising candidates for biocontrol of BTW and FWW.

title: Spatial analysis of olive fly on Samos island

description: Cultivation of olive-trees is one of the landmark land-uses and agroecosystems of the Mediterranean. The single most important factor of production-loss is infestation by the olive fruit fly (OLF, Bactrocera oleae). We examine the spatiotemporal dynamics of OLF populations on Samos Island by employing spatial-analysis methods for a focused estimation on olive plantations. The case study includes a variation of areas across altitude. We use data for three years (2017–2019) from 399 trap locations that are not associated with farms or other major anthropogenic installations and measure temperature and humidity in 24 locations across the island to: examine the temporal variation of OLF populations, to check the relationship of temperature, humidity, and geomorphological characteristics and calculate the estimated spatial distribution of OLF. Results show small differences of annual averages, but very important spatiotemporal differences and micro hot/cold spots of OLF populations. Findings suggest significant movement of OLF populations across landscape. This approach can help achieve a deeper understanding of OLF behavior in Mediterranean ecosystems and contribute toward new approaches in pest management of olive trees.

title: Mental Health and Wellbeing Helplines for Farmers: A Scoping Review of Usage, Acceptability, and Effectiveness of Those Currently in Operation Around the World

description: Farmers have higher risk of suicide than the general working population but are less likely to seek help from mainstream mental health services. Farmer-focused sources of support such as farmer helplines may be a viable alternative, and several currently operate internationally. However, it is unclear whether these specialized helplines collectively tend to be used and are acceptable or effective in reducing farmers’ distress. This review aimed to fill this important knowledge gap. The PRISMA 2020 guidelines, in consultation with the extension for scoping reviews, guided the review process. The search included 13 academic databases and grey literature via Google. The database search yielded 1,337 initial results and a Google search strategy resulted in 620 links to investigate. Data extraction was sought from 28 papers and 332 online links. We identified 35 unique helplines operating across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, India, and Austria. Farmers do use helplines when experiencing stress; however, we found little empirical evidence of the acceptability or effectiveness of helplines. Anecdotal evidence suggested farmers are more likely to trust telephone support services operated by people who understand the farming way of life. Research in this area is scant but promising. Farmers and farming communities will use farmer helplines in times of elevated stress. However, there is a pressing need for more rigorous evaluation studies to determine their effectiveness in this at-risk group. Further, when designing farmer helplines, careful consideration should be given to the extent to which those answering calls understand farming.

title: Evaluating circular economy strategies at the end-of-life stage of a mass timber building: pathways for sustainable construction

description: The construction sector is widely recognized as a significant contributor to environmental degradation, with its impacts intersecting with multiple sustainable development goals related to resource consumption, climate action, sustainable cities and communities, as well as industry and infrastructure. Integration of circular economy (CE) strategies at the end-of-life (EoL) of the constructions can reduce resource use, waste generation, therefore the impacts of this sector on the environment. The application of CE principles is considered a progressive act that requires the adaptation of infrastructures, and a sudden circular approach cannot be achieved. This study focuses on improving the circularity of EoL of the construction and demolition wastes (CDW). To this end, the environmental impacts of current EoL practices in Quebec, Canada, on a case study of mass timber building are evaluated. Then, by analyzing the sensitivity of the results to the application of several circular strategies, an optimized short-term circular pathway for Quebec’s construction sector is proposed. This short-term pathway includes a 20% increase in current CDW recycling and a 20% rise in wood and steel reuse, which serves as an initial step towards achieving a CE in the construction sector in Quebec. Mid-term and long-term pathways followed these results involve higher recycling and reusing of materials, along with integrating the reduction and refusal approaches as other CE strategies. The long-term pathway also encourages focusing on reducing the use of glue in mass timber products and considering more sustainable options like dowel laminated timber (DLT) in mass timber constructions. Application of circular economy (CE) strategies in construction sector is promotedSensitivity of life cycle assessment results to various CE strategies are calculatedShort-term circular pathway is a solution for an agile increase in material circularityLong-term circular pathways integrate reduce and refuse strategies of CEProposed circular pathways result in more sustainability in construction sector Application of circular economy (CE) strategies in construction sector is promoted Sensitivity of life cycle assessment results to various CE strategies are calculated Short-term circular pathway is a solution for an agile increase in material circularity Long-term circular pathways integrate reduce and refuse strategies of CE Proposed circular pathways result in more sustainability in construction sector

The sensing mechanism involves <b>Ba<sup>2+</sup></b> -induced hydrolysis of the imine bond in <b>R1</b>, resulting in the regeneration of compound 1, which is responsible for the observed fluorescence response. Upon the addition of <b>Ba<sup>2+</sup></b> ions, <b>R1</b> exhibited a highly selective ‘turn-on’ fluorescence response with a new emission band at 514 nm and approximately 1000-fold intensity enhancement. The limit of detection for <b>Ba<sup>2+</sup></b> was determined to be as low as 10<sup>−8</sup> M. Furthermore, <b>R1</b> showed good cytocompatibility and was successfully applied as a fluorescent probe for the detection of <b>Ba<sup>2+</sup></b> ions in MCF-7 cells.

title: Social mobility and fertility: Applying diagonal reference models in historical studies (Sweden, 1870–2015)

description: Theoretically there are good reasons to expect social mobility to have an effect on fertility. The problem is how to assess such an effect empirically, as social mobility is a function of both social origin and destination. This paper presents the Diagonal Reference Model (DRM) as a valuable historical method to study social mobility consequences. We use Swedish individual-level longitudinal data with intergenerational links covering the period 1905 to 2015 for cohorts born as early as 1870. We apply DRM to test hypotheses about the association between social mobility and fertility net of social origin and social attainment. The results show a constant but small negative association between upward social mobility and fertility. This relationship was most pronounced in the oldest cohorts, suggesting the need for more research on social mobility effects in historical settings with DRMs.

title: Escaping Nazi deportation and temporary protection status: Applying causal modelling in a study on Amsterdam Jews

description: This study applied causal modeling to address a controversy regarding the Holocaust in the Netherlands: The Jewish Council issued temporary exemptions intended to delay the deportations of Jews, though some scholars contended that these facilitated deportations. To assess the impact of temporary exemptions on deportation, data on exemption status, hiding or fleeing, and deportation were collected for a random sample of nearly 400 Amsterdam Jews. Calculating conditional probabilities (Tree diagram) and applying Pearl’s front-door criterion (causal diagram) indicate that the average causal effect of temporary exemption is about a 10-percentage-point reduction in deportation chance. This research demonstrates that utilizing statistical methods such as causal modeling on collected life trajectory data for Jewish survivors and victims can enhance our understanding of the Holocaust.
