title: Diversity and Abundance of Insects at York University

description: The study was conduct by Shelly, Carmen, Dorsah and Navdip. The study was conducted at York University at the pond near the Osgoode building as the grass land and woodlot, on Monday September 29 2014. The study was conducted in the after afternoon between 2:30 pm and 4 pm. The weather was 24 °C and it was sunny. The purpose of the experiment was to measure insect abundance on York University’s grassland and woodlot. To retrieve the data, a quadrant was placed on the ground in 10 random sections of the grassland and in the woodlot. The number of insects was then observed by gently moving the grass or weeds to see any hidden insects, within the quadrat.

title: Distance of Birds Species Spotted in the Grassland and Woodlot

description: A 25 meter belt transect was placed on the ground five times in each location sampled at York University campus: the grassland and the woodlot. Each time the transect was placed on the ground, the abundance and name of each bird species spotted were recorded. Bird species were identified by hearing the bird calls, and through observation (via a binocular or the naked eye) and the common name of the bird species were identified from a field guide book on birds. Also, the wind speed was recorded using the Beaufort scale and the distance of each species spotted was recorded in meter via the transect.

title: Ecology Lab 4 - Field Sample Training With Animals

description: The data was collected by group 4 which consisted of Shelly, Carmen, Navdip and Dorsah. This data was collected on a sunny afternoon with temperatures of about 20 degrees Celsius. The first 5 trails were in the woodlot and the next 5 in the grasslands. Once we arrived at the woodlot, a transect was extended 25 meters on the ground. A group member from group 4 walked along the 25 meter distance swinging a sweep net as close to the ground as possible. The sweep net was continuously swung for the entire 25 meters so that the organisms in the net would not be able to escape. Once the 25 meter end was reached the net was swung in a circle and closed off so that the organisms would be trapped and could be counted. Each type of insect, bug and fly was counted and recorded. This was repeated 4 more times in different areas of the woodlot and then 5 more times in different areas of the grasslands.

title: River corridor plants revisited: What drives their unique distribution patterns?

description: The phenomenon whereby some plant species display a river corridor distribution pattern has long been recognized but is still poorly understood. The goals of this study were to supplement the list of river corridor plants for Central Europe, analyse their habitats and compare their ecological features with those of their widely distributed counterparts. The ATPOL (<i>Atlas of Poland</i>) database was used to compile a list of river corridor plants of Poland and calculate their river corridor-specificity indices (RCSIs). The Ellenberg indicator values, dispersal modes and life forms of river corridor and widely distributed species were compared using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs). Eighty-five species were classified as river corridor species. The most numerous habitat groups were meadow species (19%), wet-habitat therophytes (15%), riverside tall herbs (13%) and species of dry, sandy soils (12%). These species had mostly requirements for a higher temperature and alkalinity than widespread species. Among river corridor plants, there were a few eurytopic species. Corridor species had usually only one life form and less dispersal modes than widespread species. Hence, specific demands of corridor plants and lower phenotypic plasticity may explain their restricted geographical distribution. The definition of the river corridor plant species needs modification.

title: York University Grassland and Woodlot Field Training with Animals

description: The methods of this experiment were fairly simple. A 1 metre by 1 metre quadrat was used, and placed on the ground at random in different parts of a York University grassland, as well as a York University woodlot. Ten replicates were done in the grassland and another ten replicates were done in the woodlot. Within the quadrat, I counted the total number of all insects which were present inside the quadrat lines at the time of counting. The total number of insects was recorded, as well as the total number of different taxonomic units or orders which were observed within the quadrat, and the types of taxonomic units or orders, as well as the number of total insects within these classified groups. This information was recorded for the ten replicates in the grassland, as well as the ten replicates in the woodlot.

title: Insect Data from Grassland and Woodland Quadrat Samples

description: Data was collected using ten quadrat samples taken in both a grassland and woodland area in Toronto Ontario. The quadrants were used to observe species identity, number of insects in each species, total number of species, and the total number of insects. The data included insects in the quadrat ground area and insects flying within a meter above the quadrat. This data was collected by P Chow, N Gajendran, C Lau, and T Sequeira who all had designated roles in the data collection process. N Gajendran took five steps in any direction in attempt to keep quadrant sampling relatively random. N Gajendran identified a species while P Chow counted the number of insects in the quadrat of that species. T Sequeira identified flying species flying within a meter above the quadrat while C Lau counted the number of insects of that species. Data was recordedand number of insects of each species were added to record total number of insects within quadrat area.

title: Distance-based Sample of Bird Sightings

description: In a grassland with an open area, and a woodlot with trees growing in close proximity to each other, five transects were laid out in each habitat type - totalling ten transects altogether. The transects were measured using Nimmy Gajendran's paces or steps. The lengths of the transects, number of birds spotted, bird species, distance of the bird(s) away from the transect, and wind speed were recorded. The linear distance of the bird(s) from the transect was estimated by myself. The number of birds spotted was counted, and bird species categorized, by all group members (Nimmy Gajendran, Patrice Chow, Tyra Sequeira, and myself) in a collaborative effort.

title: NEUROCOGNICIÓN Y TUMORES CEREBRALES EN EDAD PEDIÁTRICA: ALTERACIONES Y DIAGNÓSTICO

description: Los tumores del SNC en la edad pediátrica tienen, gracias a los avances científicos, mejor tratamiento y mayor tasa de supervivencia. En muchos casos la alteración neurocognitiva es evidente y, en otros, subclínica. Estas alteraciones pueden provenir del propio tumor o de los efectos de los diferentes tratamientos [quirúrgicos o farmacológicos]. La influencia en la vida cotidiana es muy variable y, además, no es homogénea. El diagnóstico neurocognitivo de estos pacientes no es nada claro y no disponemos de claros criterios sintomáticos o de otro tipo para llevar a un consenso. No obstante, hay cuadros clínicos típicos de afectación por tumores [como el Síndrome Cerebeloso Cognitivo-Afectivo] que pueden ser descritos y clasificados. Intentamos, en esta revisión sistemática, organizar todos estos datos y llegar a conclusiones sobre los diferentes aspectos tratados.

title: The Abundance and Variations Within Insects

description: The abundance of insects was examined in two different environments at York University’s Keele Campus. This was observed by a total of twenty different quadrat samplings in both a grassland and woodlot. Ten quadrats were randomly placed in grassland, each observed for thirty seconds. The number and specie of insects present in each individual quadrat within thirty seconds were observed and identified. Insects were solely based on the presence of wings, and their common name was noted. The number of different species identified in each quadrat was noted as the different recognizable taxonomic unit (rtus). The total number of insects of all the species combined in each quadrat were counted and noted by the researcher. This process was then repeated another ten times in the woodlot. Once again, the researcher placed ten quadrats randomly in the woodlot and observed the different species and number of insects present in the quadrat within thirty seconds. The criterion for identifying insects remained the same as used in the grassland, and the specie, different recognizable taxonomic units, and total number of insects was noted following the same procedures and criteria used in the grassland. Overall, twenty different quadrats were examined, and the abundance of insects were noted; ten in the grassland and ten in the woodlot.

title: Knowledge, attitude, practice, and determinants Emergency contraceptive use among women seeking Abortion services in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia

description: Objectives: To assess knowledge, attitude and practice and determinants on the use of emergency contraception among women obtaining abortion service at selected health institutions in Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 women selected by multi-stage random sampling technique. The samples were generated from government and private for non profit health facilities. Participant’s knowledge and attitude towards emergency contraception were measured using composite index based on 7 and 9 questions, respectively and analyzed using mean score to classify them as knowledgeable or not, and have positive attitude or not. Practice was assessed if the women reported ever use of emergency contraception. Determinants of use of emergency contraception were analyzed using logistic regression. Result: Out of 390 women interviewed, 162 women (41.5%) heard about EC, only 133 (34.1%) had good knowledge, and 200 (51.3%) of the respondents had positive attitudes towards to EC. Ever use of EC was reported by 38 (9.7%). Age, living arrangement, education, marital status, religion were found to be significantly associated with the use of emergency contraceptives. Women with poor knowledge were less likely to use EC compared to the knowledgeable ones [AOR=0.027, 95%CI (0.007, 0.105)]. Conclusion: The study identified that most respondents lack adequate knowledge on the method of EC. In addition ever use of EC is very low. Recommendations: Health professions should give attention in increasing knowledge and uptake of Emergency Contraception.
