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.

title: Effect of plant height and plant crowding on insect abundance in York University's Danby Grasslands

description: Group 4. Group members: Nassar Khan, Alex Qiu, Kristine Del Rosario and Michael Angelini. Site/Field Location: York University Danby grasslands.Grasslands heavily covered in grasses with some trees. Group 4 measured insect abundance in relation to plant crowding and plant height. The potential hypothesis is higher severity of plant crowding along with taller plant height will result in a great insect abundance. Sampling took place on 2 days, October 21st and 28th 2015 at approximately 3:00PM Eastern Standard Time. On each day, 40 samples were taken. The sampling procedure consisted of distributing 8 white plastic bowls labelled from 1 to 40 to each group member. Each member then randomly places bowls right side up on the grassland ground. If spaces between bowls were not at least 1 meter apart, one of the bowls were randomly placed elsewhere. Each bowl was filled halfway with soap water provided by the teaching assistant, creating a pan trap. Bowls were left untouched for 2 hours before data collection. After the waiting period, sampling took place. A sample consisted of placing a 1 meter by 1 meter metal quadrat around 1 of the 40 bowls, ensuring the the bowl was centered inside the quadrat. Plant crowding was determined by looking at the quadrat area and using a scale of 1 to 4 of crowdedness. 1 meaning very few plants within quadrat but soil/dirt on ground is very visble, 2 meaning several plants but soil/dirt on ground is moderately visible, 3 meaning many plants but soil/dirt on ground is slightly visible, and 4 meaning plants covering entire quadrat. Plant height was measured by determining the area within quadrat of most crowding, and measuring the rough median plant height within that group of plants. This was done my looking at measuring tape along the length of platns within the quadrat. Lastly, the insect abundance was measured by picking up each bowl and counting each individual insect using the observer's eyes.

title: effect of sunlight exposure and crowding level on moss growth

description: The experiment was conducted in York university woodlot area. The experiment was divided into two weeks with a 100 replicates as the dataset. The group members, Ghamsayani, Mary, Shaneil and Prachi laid out transects at 25m starting from the edge of the woodlot for week 1. A 1m x1m quadrant was placed every 5 m on the transects. Within the quadrant, firstly, presence or absence of moss was determined by moving the leaf litter around, uncovering moss patches and recording thepercentage of abundance of moss cover in the 1mx1m quadrant. Presence of moss is categorical data while percentage of moss cover was recorded as continuous data. After recording the abundance of moss cover, the amount of leaf litter and other plants present around the moss were determined as the level of crowding which is categorical data. The scale for measuring the crowding level was from 1-3, where 1 was the lack or very little leaf litter and other plants around the moss patches and 3 was where the moss was covered with leaf litter and other plants in the surroundings. Another factor determined was the percentage of sunlight exposure which was continuous data. This was determined by making a square with the index finger and thumb of both hands and determining the amount of sunlight visible through the leaf canopy. The weather on the first week of the experiment was 15 degrees. The ground was cool to touch, the skies were clear and birds were chirping at a distance. There was presence of human activity in the woodlot. The experimental design was repeated the second week with firstly laying down the transact at 25m by each group member named above and using the 1mx1m quadrants to determine the presence or absence of moss, abundance of moss coverage in the 1mx1m quadrant and crowding level if leaf litter and other plants within the quadrant as well as the percentage of sun exposure using hand squares. The weather on the second week was 14 degrees and the ground was cool to touch. It was humid but with clear skies and birds chirping at a distance. Also human activity was present.

title: Goldenrod species - Individual experiment

description: The purpose of this individual experiment is to determine the health of the goldenrod species within wetlands and drylands. The wetland component of this experiment was conducted on Wednesday October 14th at 2:30 pm at the Stong pond on a sunny but cool afternoon. The dryland component was conducted on Wednesday October 21st at 2:30 pm at the York blvd woodlot on a cold afternoon. The health of the goldenrod species was tested using four health proxies, width of the plant's stem, height of the plant, colour of the leaves, and the number of buds and/or branches. In order to collect the appropriate data, transect instruments were used for the experiment. Transects were placed at random and with quite some distance between each of the measurements. Approximately 5 to 6 transects were collected for each of the two locations, and the length of the transect depended upon whether at least 20 goldenrod individuals were recorded. The width of the stem was recorded by placing the measuring tape horizontally from one edge of the stalk to the other and the width was recorded in milimeters. The height of the plant was recorded by placing the measuring tape vertically from the base of the plant to the tip. The other partner would aid the measurement by holding drooping goldenrod invidiuals straight to obtain an appropriate height measurement. The colour of the leaves was analyzed from the bottom to the top, following a range of natural green to yellow to brown. The curl of the leaves was also recorded. The colour of the leaves is a subjective measurement and is at the discretion of the partner who measured the individual. The most abundant leaf colour was the colour recorded first in the data set. To add to the colour of the leaves, the percentage of colour was also recorded. This measurement is also subjective and is at the discretion of the partner who measured the plant. The percentage for the most abundant leaf colour was recorded in the data set. The percentage for the other colours was not recorded. The number of buds or branches for the plant is also a subjective measurement. Any plant with a bud that shows a visible potential of flowering into a classic goldenrod appearance was counted and recorded. In order to specifically locate an indiviudal on a transect measurement, the distance from the point marked 0 meters to the location of the goldenrod individual was recorded. This number is recorded as the transect distance.

title: The affects of human activity and disturbance on Goldenrod species abundance.

description: Group Members : Iiman Draman, Loyal Tran, James Quach, and Sajid Alvi. The following experiments were done two days at York University on Oct 14, 2015 and Oct 21, from 2:45-4:35pm within the grassland of the Danby Woodlot which consisted of plants, grass, insect, bird, and mowed and unmowed area. The weather on both days during the sampling period was chilly and windy but the sky was still clear .The purpose of this experiment was to compare and measure the abundance of Goldenrod affected by human activity (mowed and non-mowed area) and disturbance. The reason for this experiment was to try and understand if the abundance of Goldenrod species increase or decrease depended if there is or not a disturbance and human activity in an area that had been mowed and unmowed area. Group 1 members consisted of Iiman, Loyal, James, Sajid and Anisa but separated into two sub groups. One subgroup consisted of Loyal, James, and Sajid who measured the abundance of the Goldenrod species alive in non-mowed area and the other subgroup consisted of Anisa and Iiman who measured the abundance of the Goldenrod species in the mowed area. The equipment used to measure the abundance of the golden rod species were 2 quadrats (each 1m x1m) and 2 transects (each 30m). The area of disturbances were Keele Street (disturbance 1) and York University (disturbance 2) .The distance between the two disturbances were 100m transects laterally along the grassland measured, at every 5m on a 30m transect one quadrat was placed. The quadrats served as a tool to isolate a smaller area on the 30m transect, to count the abundance of Goldenrod species alive within that quadrat and the transects provided the specific set length from the edge of grassland closet to the disturbances (1 or 2) to other end of disturbances ( 1 or 2) closet to the grassland. A total of 5 transects were used for a total distance of 500m and a total number of quadrats used were 105. The abundance of the Goldenrod species varies within a single quadrats because the transect were randomly placed along the grassland . A method to distinguish the Goldenrod species within a single quadrats, the characteristic were numerous small yellow but since the sampling was done in colder weather there was not any flowers, texture of the leaf, and leafy stems. Since the temperature was colder on the last day the Goldenrod species started to shrive up and it became difficult count compared to the first day of sampling .The abundance of the Goldenrod species can be affected by many factors but one might had been competition with other plant/insect species within a single quadrat.

title: The Correlation between Insect abundance and plant density or plant height

description: Group Members: Xi Qiu, Michael Angelini, Kate Villanueva Britanico, Kristine Del Rosario, Nassar EnKaye The purpose of this experiment is to see whether or not there will be a noticeable positive or negative correlation between insect abundance and plant height or the level of crowding of plants in the grasslands. The experiment was conducted on two different days, Wednesday October 14th and Wednesday October 21st 2015, at the grasslands near York University. The weather on October 14th was partially cloudy with the temperature of 14 degrees Celsius whereas on October 21st, the weather was overcast and windy with the temperature of 12 degrees Celsius during the experiment. The duration of the experiment and data collecting was 2.5 hours on each day, from 3 pm to 5:30 pm. The grassland consists mostly tall grass, a few trees and short plants. The equipment used during this experiment including 2 quadrants (one meter by one meter), 40 pans of the same color, soapy water, and 2 tape measures. To collect the data, all the pans were marked from 1 to 40 first, 8 pans were then assigned to each group member to place randomly over the grassland, and then fill them with soapy water at the same time place the quadrat around the pan, measure and estimate the average plant height with the tap measure and estimate the level of crowding within the quadrat. After everything was measured, the group waited for 1 and half hours before counting the numbers of insects caught within each pans. Since it rained on the day before October 21st and during the experiment it was cold and windy, the data collected on October 21st shows significant less insect abundance than the data collected on October 14th. However from the overall data collected over these two days, no significant correlation has shown between the insect abundance and the level of crowding or the average plant height.

title: Experimental Design Lab

description: The experiment was conducted at Arboretum Grassland on an afternoon with the temperature of 10°C. Four pans of each colour (red, yellow and white) were filled with soap water. Those pans were set up randomly near the edge of the grassland. Also, they were placed approximately 1 meters apart from each other. This process was repeated at two different location: one in the middle of the grassland and another at the edge of the grassland (near the pond). The pans were left alone for approximately one and half hour. After one and half hour, the type of insects and the number of each of them caught in the pans were observed and recorded. The location and colour of the pans, in which the insects were caught, was also recorded. This experiment was repeated on another afternoon, a week after the first, with the temperature of 9°C.
