title: Mass production of Neoseiulus cucumeris (Phytoseiidae): an assessment of fifty generations reared on almond pollen

description: Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), an economically important biological control agent, was reared on almond pollen for 50 generations. We evaluated the effect of rearing predators on this pollen by comparing biological parameters at different generations (G1-G50). The shortest and longest developmental time was observed in G5 and G10, respectively. The females reread at 5th and 50th generations laid eggs earlier than those of other generations. Females at G50 laid eggs over a longer period and produced more eggs than females of other generations, although females in the earlier generations had a higher gross reproductive rate (GRR) and net reproductive rate (R0) than later generations. The intrinsic rate of increase (r), as well as the finite rate of increase (λ) of N. cucumeris in 5th and 50th generations was significantly higher than those in other generations, while the first generation had the lowest values of these parameters. The dorsal shield length of both females and males and the width of females were found to be unaffected by their constant feeding on almond pollen. However, the number of rearing generations significantly affects the width of males. The results suggest that the long-term rearing of N. cucumeris on the almond pollen did not substantially affect the predator’s quality for at least 50 generations. Therefore, it has the potential for the mass production of this predator for use in biological control. Such a substrate could be investigated for use in rearing other phytoseiid mites that are important in biological control.

title: The influence of electromyographic biofeedback in a physical therapy program following meniscectomy - DATA

description: Objective: Investigate if, in patients who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, the physical therapy program with electromyographic biofeedback (EMG BFB) was more effective than a physical therapy program alone for increasing knee extension range of motion, quadriceps strength, motor control, and knee functionality, and for reducing pain.Methods: Thirty-three subjects between 18 and 55 years old, submitted to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated in experimental (n=16) and control groups (n=17) performing a four-week physical therapy program with and without EMG BFB, respectively. The primary outcome measures were passive and active knee extension range of motion, quadriceps strength, motor control, knee functionality and pain.Results: After two weeks, groups had different active range of motion (p = .031), MVIC 90o (p = .013), MVIC 45o (p = .003), and gait (p = .012). These improvements continued after four weeks in active range of motion (p = .015), MVIC 90o (p = .003), MVIC 45o (p = .001) and gait (p = .013) in the EMG BFB group. Differences on other outcomes were non-significant.Conclusion: The inclusion of EMG BFB on a standard physical therapy program after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is effective in improving active knee range of motion, quadriceps strength, and gait performance.

title: The Feasibility of Implementing an Exercise Programme for Deconditioned Cancer Survivors in a National Cancer Centre: FIXCAS Study

description: Introduction: As both the number of cancer survivors and the length of survival time are increasing, long-term health issues related to cancer and its treatment are becoming more prevalent. Research suggests that exercise can mitigate several negative health consequences in cancer survivors and improve physical function and quality of life. Multi-modal exercise interventions have been proposed as a cornerstone for survivorship care. However, studies evaluating exercise programmes within the Irish population are lacking.Purpose: To evaluate the introduction, implementation and acceptability of a multi-modal exercise rehabilitation programme for deconditioned cancer survivors in a real-world, standard practice setting. Methods and analysis: In this single-arm prospective feasibility study, cancer survivors (n=40) will undergo a 10-week multi-modal exercise programme. The study population will comprise of cancer survivors attending outpatient services in an Irish national cancer centre. Participants will be aged 18 or older and have completed treatment with curative intent. Feasibility will be evaluated in terms of recruitment, adherence and compliance to the programme. Secondary outcomes will examine physical function and quality of life measures. In addition, the acceptability of the programme will be assessed through patient feedback.

title: Device-based measures of sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions of healthy working adults, 2020

description: This data folder contains all processed data and analyses scripts used for analyses in the research described in the PNAS paper "The Temporal Dynamics of Sitting Behaviour at Work" by ten Broeke and colleagues (2020). In the paper, sitting behaviour was conceptualised as a continuous chain of sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions, and multilevel time-to-event analysis was used to analyse the timing of these transitions. The data comprise ~30,000 posture transitions during work time from 156 UK-based employees from various work sites, objectively-measured by an activPAL monitor that was continuously worn for approximately one week.For the paper, a split-samples cross-validation procedure was used. Prior to looking at the data, we randomly split the data into two samples of equal size: A training sample (n = 79; 7,316 sit-to-stand and 7,263 stand-to-sit transitions) and a testing sample (n = 77; 7,216 sit-to-stand and 7,158 stand-to-sit transitions). We used the training sample for data exploration and fine-tuning of analyses and analytical decisions. After this, we preregistered our analysis plan for the testing sample and performed these analyses on the testing sample. Unless otherwise specified, in the paper we report results from the preregistered analyses on the testing sample.A more detailed description of the procedure and all measures is given in the Methodology file. The readme file describes the content and function of all files in the data folder, and all terminology and abbreviations used in the data sets and analyses scripts. The R markdown files and HTML output files contain all R code that was used for data processing, analysis, and visualization, and the power simulation.

title: Tropical Dry Forest Resilience to Fire Depends on Fire Frequency and Climate

description: Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and devastating in many tropical forests.Although seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are among the most fire-threatened ecosystems, their long-term response to frequent wildfires remains largely unknown.This study is among the first to investigate the resilience in response to fire of the Chiquitano SDTF in Bolivia, a large ecoregion that has seen an unprecedented increase in fire intensity and frequency in recent years. We used remote sensing data to assess at a large regional and temporal scale (two decades) how fire frequency and environmental factors determine the resilience of the vegetation to fire disturbance. Resilience was measured as the resistance to fire damage and post-fire recovery. Both parameters were monitored for forested areas that burned once (F1), twice (F2), and three times (F3) between 2000 and 2010 and compared to unburned forests. Resistance and recoverywere analyzed using time series of the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) index derived from Landsat satellite imagery, and climatic, topographic, and a human developmentrelated variable used to evaluate their influence on resilience. The overall resilience was lowest in forests that burned twice and was higher in forests that burned three times, indicating a possible transition state in fire resilience, probably because forests become increasingly adapted during recurrent fires. Climatic variables, particularly rainfall, were most influential in determining resilience. Our results indicate that the Chiquitano dry forest is relatively resilient to recurring fires, has the capacity to recover and adapt, and that climatic differences are the main determinants of the spatial variation observed in resilience. Nevertheless, further research is needed to understand the effect of the higher frequency and intensity of fires expected in the future due to climate change and land use change, which may pose a greater threat to forest resilience.

title: Dietary patterns and mental health after myocardial infarction

description: The present study investigates the cross-sectional associations of dietary patterns with two indicators of mental health, depressive symptoms and levels of optimism, in a sample of patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI). The elucidation of these associations is particularly relevant in these post-MI patients, as previous studies have shown that both poor mental health and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality might be affected by dietary patterns. The results of our study showed inverse associations between healthy dietary patterns and depressive symptoms, as well as a positive association between healthy dietary patterns and dispositional optimism. In particular, the consumption of fruits and vegetables appears to be related to better mental health in patients with a history of myocardial infarction.

title: Development of a checklist to assess potentially effective components in combined lifestyle interventions for children with overweight or obesity

description: In the Netherlands, Combined Lifestyle Interventions (CLIs), offered in primary care, aim to reduce the number of children with overweight or obesity. CLIs are carried out by a multidisciplinary team and focus on dietary advice and guidance, exercise and behaviour change. These CLIs are not uniformly designed and vary in protocols to suit the local circumstances. Due to the variation in content of CLIs it is difficult to investigate their effectiveness. To enable a proper evaluation of CLIs, we first need to unravel the ‘black boxes’ of CLIs by identifying the various potentially effective components.Methods: First of all we identified potentially effective components in literature. Subsequently we organized an online consultation with experts with diverse backgrounds and asked if they could add potentially effective components. These components were then assembled into a checklist meant to determine the presence or absence of potentially effective components in CLIs for children.Results: 42 experts participated. We identified 65 potentially effective components for CLIs for children with overweight or obesity that we categorized into three themes: content, organisation and implementation.Conclusions: Based on literature and expert opinions we developed a practical 65-item checklist to determine the presence of potentially effective components in a CLI. This checklist can be used in the development of CLIs as well as evaluation of CLIs.

title: Temperature response of aquatic greenhouse gas emissions differs between dominant plant types

description: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from small inland waters are disproportionately large. Climate warming is expected to enhance their emissions and favour dominance of algae and free-floating plants at the expense of submerged plants. The different impacts these functional plant types have on their environment may have far-reaching consequences for freshwater GHG emissions. Here, we show that dominance of different functional plant types strongly controls the effect of experimental warming on GHG fluxes, mainly by modulating methane ebullition, an often-dominant GHG emission pathway. Specifically, we demonstrate that the response to experimental warming was strongest for free-floating and lowest for submerged plant-dominated systems. Importantly, our results suggest that anticipated shifts in plant type may increase total GHG emissions from shallow waters. This, together with the stronger warming-induced emission response, represents a so far overlooked positive climate feedback. Management strategies aimed at favouring submerged plant dominance may substantially mitigate GHG emissions.

title: Systemic Involvement in ACS: Using CMR Imaging to Compare the Aortic Wall in Patients with and without Acute Coronary Syndrome

description: Data set of patients with with and without acute coronary syndrome with CMR imaging to compare the aortic wall thickness and area.Previous studies have demonstrated that in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), plaque destabilization and vessel inflammation, represented by vessel edema, often occur simultaneously in multiple coronaries, as well as extend to the cerebrovascular system. Our aim was to determine whether the inflammatory vascular processes occurring within the coronaries during ACS extend simultaneously to the descending aorta.

title: SUPPLEMENTARY DATA for: Aging, cardiovascular risk and SHBG levels in men and women from the general population

description: Prior studies have reported inconsistent results for the association between sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and cardiovascular disease among men and women. Although it is suggested that SHBG levels change with aging, the exact trend of SHBG across age and cardiovascular risk, and the underlying mechanisms of these changes remain to be elucidated. Using data of 3264 men and women from a large population-based cohort study, we visualized the distribution of serum SHBG levels across age.

title: Dropping the microbead: Source and sink related microplastic distribution in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea basins

description: Microplastic pollution is a growing, yet poorly understood problem. Here, we assessed the relationship between microplastic concentration and distance to rivers, shorelines, cities, sediment grain size or water depth in sediments of the world’s largest (semi-)enclosed aquatic basins. Microplastic was extracted from sediment using density separation and elutriation. Fibers and transparent or white microplastic particles were the most abundant shape and color. The microplastic concentration in sediments of the Black Sea was about twice as high compared to that in the Caspian Sea. Fragment concentrations decreased with depth, while fiber concentrations were independent of depth. Overall, no relationship with distance to shores, rivers and cities or with grain size was observed. However, within some depth classes concentrations were related to the distance from rivers, shores and cities.

title: Linkage file: LAFA, NHANES, and FCID

description: Improving diet quality while simultaneously reducing environmental impact is a critical focus globally. Metrics linking diet quality and sustainability have typically focused on a limited suite of indicators, and have not included food waste. To address this important research gap, we examine the relationship between food waste, diet quality, nutrient waste, and multiple measures of sustainability: use of cropland, irrigation water, pesticides, and fertilizers. Data on food intake, food waste, and application rates of agricultural amendments were collected from diverse US government sources. Diet quality was assessed using the Healthy Eating Index-2015. A biophysical simulation model was used to estimate the amount of cropland associated with wasted food. This analysis finds that US consumers wasted 422g of food per person daily, with 30 million acres of cropland used to produce this food every year. This accounts for 30% of daily calories available for consumption, one-quarter of daily food (by weight) available for consumption, and 7% of annual cropland acreage. Higher quality diets were associated with greater amounts of food waste and greater amounts of wasted irrigation water and pesticides, but less cropland waste. This is largely due to fruits and vegetables, which are health-promoting and require small amounts of cropland, but require substantial amounts of agricultural inputs. These results suggest that simultaneous efforts to improve diet quality and reduce food waste are necessary.. Increasing consumers’ knowledge about how to prepare and store fruits and vegetables will be one of the practical solutions to reducing food waste.
