title: The Effect of Coloured Pan Traps and Floral Presence on Insect Abundance in Danby Grassland

description: The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the location (presence of flowers vs. no flowers) and colour of pan traps affect insect abundance in a grassland environment. The grassland was a large open area covered with grasses. On October 15th 2015, twelve pan traps were set out in a location where there was an abundance of 20 or more flowers and twelve pan traps were placed in an area where there was no abundance of flowers, resulting in a total of twenty-four pan traps altogether. Pan traps measured the abundance of insects in the grassland. Coloured pan traps were used to attract an abundance of insects and to observe their reactions to the different colours. The colour pattern used was white, blue and yellow and there were 8 pans per colour. Samples were collected systematically. One line transect was placed 4m along an area where there were 20 or more flowers to indicate a floral site. A second line transect was placed 4m along an area where there were no flowers to indicate a site with no floral presence. At each metre along each transect, three pan traps were placed perpendicular to the line transect in the consistent order of white, blue and yellow resulting in a total of 24 pan traps – 12 per site. Thus, the white pan trap was the closest to the transect whereas the yellow pan trap was placed the farthest. Soapy water was added halfway to each of the pan traps in order to trap the insects and submerge them into our pans for the duration of our experiment. After approximately two hours, data was collected and abundance of insects in each pan trap was recorded. Abundance measured the total number of insects observed in each pan trap. The experiment was repeated once more after exactly one week on October 22nd 2015. The setting of the experiment took place in the Danby grassland area on the northeast side of York University Keele Campus for the duration of approximately three hours on October 15th, 2015 (2:45-4:30pm) and October 22nd, 2015 (2:45-5:00pm). On October 15th, it was 17 degrees Celsius with 39% humidity and SW winds at 23 km/h indicating a fresh breeze on the Beaufort scale. The pressure was 1009mb and visibility was 16.1km. On October 22nd, it was 14 degrees Celsius with 59% humidity and NW winds at 29km/h indicating a strong breeze on the Beaufort scale. The pressure was 1019mb and visibility was 16.1km. Each of the 4 members – Simranjit Kang, Ava Kamali, Katrin Chapkis, Jennifer Mariathas – of group 4 contributed to collecting the data. We used coloured pan traps, soapy water and transects to analyze and record the dataset. Sample size is 48.

title: Field experiment: Does insect abundance differ in mowed vs. un-mowed grassland and does pan colour influence abundance?

description: The data was collected on Thursday October 15, 2015 at 3:00-4:20 p.m and on October 22 at 3:07-4:27 p.m. The location of the study was at Danby grasslands at York University. The mowed and un-mowed areas of the grassland were tested for abundance of insects using pans of various colors, transects, tweezers, and soapy water. The sample size for mowed and un-mowed grassland was 24 pans. Data was collected by Stephanie, Alexander, Vivian, and Amandeep. A transect was randomly placed in the mowed and un-mowed area of the grassland. Three different coloured pans (yellow, white, blue) were placed along the transect 1 m apart in that order. The total length of the transect tape was 11 m for all four trials. There were two transects used for day 1 and two for day 2, with one at each site. Soapy water was added to each pan to capture insects. After duration of 1 hour and 20 minutes the number of insects in each pan was counted using tweezers by pointing at the insects. The weather on day 1 and 2 was 16 degrees Celsius. It was cloudy with wind speed of 56 km/h on day 1 and was sunny with wind speed of 30 km/h on day 2. It was raining on day 1 when we ended the study because we did not want rain water to flood the pans while losing the insects captured. This study lasted only 1 hour and 20 minutes as a result. The same duration was used for the rest of the trials to maintain consistency. There were a few scattered trees in the un-mowed grassland, and almost none in mowed. There were lots of leaves on the ground. Common plants in the grassland were milkweed, golden rod, purple aster, white aster, common thistle. The mowed and un-mowed had the same plants but differed in height and density. The purpose of collecting this data set was to test whether there is a difference in abundance between mowed and un-mowed grassland, and if a certain coloured pan attracted more insects.

title: How different pan colour in mowed vs. unmowed grassland affect species abundance

description: The data was collected on two days – Thursday, October 15, 2015 and Thursday, October 22, 2015. Data was collected between 3:00 pm and 4:15 pm on both days. The location was at Danby Grassland at York University – Keele Campus. The weather at the time of collecting data on day 1 was roughly 16 degrees Celsius, mostly cloudy with showers. When it started to rain, temperatures quickly dropped to 10 degrees Celsius. There were high winds of 50km/h and gusts of 61km/h. On day 2, the temperature when collecting data was sunny and 16 degrees Celsius. However, it felt more like 13 degrees Celsius with winds of 30km/h and gusts of 41km/h. Data was collected in both the mowed and un-mowed areas of the grassland. Mowed grassland has been mowed for about a month. In both mowed and un-mowed grasslands, there was grass surrounded by various plants, including milkweed, golden rod, purple aster, white aster, few scattered trees, and common aster - the most dominated plant. However, in un-mowed grassland, plants were denser and taller, when compared to mowed grassland. The collection of data was done in a group of four, which included – Vivian Do, Amandeep Bains, Stephanie Achaiya, and Alexander Karakatganis. To collect the data, a 12 meter transect was randomly placed on both sites - un-mowed grassland and mowed grassland, for both days. Three coloured pans were used in this experiment – yellow, blue and white. 4 of each pan colour, a total of 12 pans were used in each site. Therefore, there were a total of 24 replications. The coloured pans were placed along the 12-meter transect, each colour pan being 1 meter apart from the other, in the order of yellow, white, and blue. Once the pans were placed down, the pans were filled with soapy water for the collection of insects and a timer was then set for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once the time was over, abundance – total number of insect species of each pan in each site was counted using a quick eye count and with the aid of tweezers. Data was recorded. The sample size was n=48. However, this data may be prone to error, depending on the sample sorter. Due to the small size of insects, characteristics - such as camouflage or due to the fact that the insects may be hidden, will hinder our ability to count them in. This leads to the total count being affected, leading to a lower count. The purpose of this dataset was to determine how different pan colours in two different sites (mowed and un-mowed grassland) has an effect on the abundance of insect species.

title: Inflammasome polymorphisms in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus

description: Inflammasome is the cytoplasmic complex responsible for pro-IL1 β cleavage and secretion of IL-1β. Recently our group reported the first association between polymorphisms in the inflammasome receptor <i>NLRP1</i> and adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) “<i>di per se</i>” and especially in SLE-associated renal disease, suggesting the involvement of NLRP1-inflammasome in the immune dysregulation characteristic of SLE patients. Considering that juvenile-onset SLE (JSLE) is more severe than adult SLE, and that the genetic background plays a major role in the early development of autoimmune diseases, we analysed selected polymorphisms in inflammasome genes (<i>NLRP1, NLRP3, CARD8, IL1B, TNFAIP3</i>) of children and adolescents with JSLE (<i>n</i> = 90) and in healthy controls (<i>n</i> = 144). A single polymorphism in <i>IL1B</i>, and not <i>NLRP1,</i> gene resulted in association with JSLE, suggesting that IL-1 β is involved in the pathogenesis of SLE, but different genes could play specific role in adult- or early-onset disease.

title: Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway: Genetic Analysis of 95 Adrenocortical Tumors

description: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is often deregulated in adrenocortical tumors (ACT) but with no concrete data confirming alteration rate. The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic alterations in key components of MAPK pathway. We found one <i>BRAF</i> mutation (p.V600E) and four <i>HRAS</i> silent mutations. No alteration was found in <i>NRAS</i>, <i>KRAS, EGFR</i> genes. The patient carrying <i>BRAF</i> mutation was further characterized by investigating his biomolecular and clinico-pathological findings. Therefore, even if MAPK signaling is activated in ACT, our results suggest that genetic alterations do not seem to represent a frequent mechanism of ACT tumorigenesis.

title: A systematic review of Markov models evaluating multicomponent disease management programs in diabetes

description: Diabetes is the most expensive chronic disease; therefore, disease management programs (DMPs) were introduced. The aim of this review is to determine whether Markov models are adequate to evaluate the cost–effectiveness of complex interventions such as DMPs. Additionally, the quality of the models was evaluated using Philips and Caro quality appraisals. The five reviewed models incorporated the DMP into the model differently: two models integrated effectiveness rates derived from one clinical trial/meta-analysis and three models combined interventions from different sources into a DMP. The results range from cost savings and a QALY gain to costs of US$85,087 per QALY. The Spearman’s rank coefficient assesses no correlation between the quality appraisals. With restrictions to the data selection process, Markov models are adequate to determine the cost–effectiveness of DMPs; however, to allow prioritization of medical services, more flexibility in the models is necessary to enable the evaluation of single additional interventions.
