e homogenization might lead to poor and generalist pollinator communities, where functionally specialized interactions are lost. This study highlights the importance of including different scales to understand the effects of global change on pollination service through changes in resource diversity.Cs2 NaInCl6 double perovskite is stable, environmentally benign and easy to prepare. But it has a wide band gap (5.1 eV), and therefore, does not show optical and optoelectronic properties in the visible and short-wave infrared (SWIR) region. Here we introduce such functionalities in Cs2 NaInCl6 by codoping Sb3+ (s-electron doping) and Er3+ (f-electron doping) ions. Sb3+ doping introduces optically allowed 5s2 → 5s1 5p1 electronic absorption at the sub-band gap level, which then emits blue photoluminescence with ≈93 % quantum yield. But f-f electronic absorption of Er3+ is parity forbidden. Codoping Sb3+ -Er3+ , leads to transfer of excitation energy from Sb3+ to Er3+ , yielding SWIR emission at 1540 nm. Temperature (6 to 300 K) dependent photoluminescence measurements elucidate the excitation and emission mechanism. A phosphor converted light emitting diode (pc-LED) fabricated by using the codoped sample emits stable blue and SWIR radiation over prolonged (84 hours) operation at 5.1 V.WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT? In the initial months of the pandemic, there was no significant increase in demand for mental health services During the pandemic, there was an increase in people reporting an increase in suicidal thoughts. Understanding of the experience of seeking help for self-harm during lockdown is lacking, in terms of availability and accessibility of support services WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE? People who self-harm found that their support structures were significantly impacted by lockdown Lockdown presented relational difficulties for people who self-harm WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE? Learning about the experience of receiving support from mental health liaison services during lockdown from a first-hand perspective is essential to improving the provision of these services in the future. In times of national crisis, services should be prepared to support clients via alternative means including telephone and online. Public facing messages about service availability l support. Online support served an important role in continuity of care during lockdown but could widen inequalities from limited resources and access. Implications for practice Helping mental health liaison nurses to understand the experiences of people who self-harm during lockdown is critical to providing continuing support to this population. Services should consider how and when they communicate changes to their provisions to the public, and the impact this will have on those in need of support.Understanding the relative strengths of intrinsic and extrinsic factors regulating populations is a long-standing focus of ecology and critical to advancing conservation programs for imperiled species. Conservation could benefit from an increased understanding of factors influencing vital rates (somatic growth, recruitment, survival) in small, translocated populations, which is lacking owing to difficulties in long-term monitoring of rare species. Translocations, here defined as the transfer of wild-captured individuals from source populations to new habitats, are widely used for species conservation, but outcomes are often minimally monitored, and translocations that are monitored often fail. see more To improve our understanding of how translocated populations respond to environmental variation, we developed and tested hypotheses related to intrinsic (density dependent) and extrinsic (introduced rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, stream flow and temperature regime) causes of vital rate variation in endangered humpbaates with greater flood-pulse frequency during monsoon season. Monthly survival was 0.56-0.99 and 0.80-0.99 in the two populations, with lower survival during periods of higher intraspecific abundance and low flood frequency. Our results suggest translocations can contribute toward the recovery of large-river fishes, but continued suppression of invasive fishes to enhance recruitment may be required to ensure population resilience. Furthermore, we demonstrate the importance of flooding to population demographics in food-depauperate, dynamic, invaded systems.Farnesol (trans, trans-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene-1-ol) is an essential oil component that can be found in a variety of plants. In this study, in vitro effects of farnesol on human lung cancer A549 cell line, colon adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cell line and healthy human lung epithelial BEAS-2B cell lines, WST-1 cytotoxicity test, dual staining of cell survival (DAPI-PI) analysis, micronucleus test, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Farnesol acted in a concentration-dependent manner at the dose ranges studied for cancer cell lines, and while at certain doses it reduced proliferation, interestingly at higher concentrations it induced growth more than the control. In the healthy BEAS-2B cell line, it was tested over a wide range of doses and at all studied concentrations, it did not suppress cellular growth, but rather increased. This seems promising in that farnesol harms cancer cell lines but does not cause significant damage to healthy cells. Obtained TEM data after treatment with farnesol at IC50 dose showed both autophagic and apoptotic findings in cancer cell lines compared to control, and normal findings exhibited in BEAS-2B cell line, cell survival, and micronucleus analyzes showed the presence of apoptotic findings and chromosomal damage as a result of farnesol application in cancer cell lines. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Farnesol has dose-dependent effects on human lung cancer and colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, with no significant damaging effects on healthy human lung epithelial cell lines. TEM, cell survival, and micronucleus findings support the findings of autophagic, apoptotic, and chromosomal damage on cancer cell lines.Diseases characterized by long distance inoculum dispersal (LDD) are among the fastest spreading epidemics in both natural and managed landscapes. Management of such epidemics is extremely challenging because of asymptomatic infection extending at large spatial scales and frequent escape from the newly established disease sources. We compared the efficacy of area- and timing-based disease management strategies in artificially initiated field epidemics of wheat stripe rust and complemented with simulations from an updated version of the spatially explicit model EPIMUL, using model parameters relevant to field epidemics. The model was further used to expand the number of epidemic mitigations beyond that feasible to incorporate in the field. The field experiment was conducted for 2 years in two locations having different climatic conditions. Culling and protection treatments were applied at different times after epidemic initiation and to different spatial extents surrounding the outbreaks. In each experiment, t large, treated areas may compensate for a delay in application timing to some extent. Results from these replicated treatments may help to devise appropriate management strategies for other LDD pathogens.
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of announcement of tax increases on factory-made (FM) and roll-your own (RYO) cigarettes in England.

Autoregressive integrated moving average with exogeneous input (ARIMAX) time-series modelling in England, UK. Data were aggregated monthly on 274 890 participants between 2007 and 2019 taking part in the Smoking Toolkit Study (STS).

The association of sustained step level changes for tax rises for FM cigarettes and temporary pulse effects for tax rises for RYO cigarettes with smoking, quit attempt and quit success prevalence as well as per-capita self-reported cigarette consumption and cost per cigarette was assessed.

A 10% rise in tax on RYO cigarettes was associated with a temporary 21.1% decline [95% confidence interval (CI) = -30.4 to -10.7] in smoking prevalence, and 20.7% decline (95% CI = -32.4 to -7.0) in per-capita self-reported cigarette consumption; while a 3% rise of tax on RYO cigarettes was associated with a temporary 20.7% decline (95% CI = -33.3 tbust in all sensitivity analyses.Within the context of an ageing population and the added challenges posed by COVID-19, the need to optimise palliative care management in the community - the setting where a significant proportion of people prefer to die - cannot be underestimated. To date, there has been a dearth of research exploring community palliative care delivery during the pandemic. This study aimed to explore the impact of and response to COVID-19 for hospice community services in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Eighteen structured interviews were conducted (10 February-18 August 2021) with healthcare professionals from sixteen purposively sampled community hospices from New Zealand regions according to the number of COVID-19-positive patients per 100,000 inhabitants (low, medium and high) with oversampling of high prevalence areas. Two overarching themes emerged 'challenges' and 'adaptations'. Each theme had several subthemes related to service delivery in communication, visiting, allied health team collaboration and volunteer services. Adaptations involved adjusting official health advice to the local context, increased use of telehealth, reducing infection risk during in-home visits through triaging of cases, division of the workforce into teams and repurposing volunteers' services. Despite these adaptations, challenges remained, including increased workload pressures for staff and an absence of the human touch for patients and families. Implications for hospice practice and recommendations for future research are discussed. Governments must acknowledge the essential contribution of hospice to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that these services are incorporated into the healthcare system response.This article serves as the first in a series that will offer recommendations for optimal data reporting, specifically focusing on statistical methods most frequently reported by the Cytopathology audience. Recommendations for reporting statistical results when comparing proportions is the first topic in the series since comparing proportions, particularly utilising the chi-square test, was the most commonly reported inferential statistical test category over 2.5 years of Cytopathology articles.1 While this article will provide a summary of common tests used to compare proportions, an extensive review of each method, including test assumptions and calculations, is beyond the scope of this summary. The author recommends consulting a trained statistician prior to data collection to discuss an analytical plan, including determining the appropriate statistical test(s) to use.The relative effect of top-down versus bottom-up forces in regulating and limiting wildlife populations is an important theme in ecology. Untangling these effects is critical for a basic understanding of trophic dynamics and effective management. We examined the drivers of moose (Alces alces) population growth by integrating two independent sources of observations within a hierarchical Bayesian population model. We used one of the largest existing spatiotemporal data sets on ungulate population dynamics globally. We documented a 20% population decline over the period examined. There was negative density-dependent population growth of moose. Although we could not determine the mechanisms producing density-dependent suppression of population growth, the relatively low densities at which we documented moose populations suggested it could be due to density-dependent predation. Predation primarily limited population growth, except at low density, where it was regulating. After we simulated several harvest scenarios, it appeared that harvest was largely additive and likely contributed to population declines.
