Observations on the food of freshwater fish from the Coal and Jordan Rivers, Tasmania

The Coal and the Jordan Rivers are two slow-flowing rivers in south-eastern Tasmania. Details are given of the stomach contents of brown trout Salmo trutta Linnaeus, English perch Perea fZuviati lis Linnaeus, short-finned eels Anguilla australis occidentalis Schmidt and Tasmanian smelt Retrop-inna tasmanica McCulloch collected from the Coal River and of the stomach contents of brown trout, English perch, tench, short-finned eels, freshwater flathead Pseudaphritis urvilli (Cuvier and Valenciennes) and galaxiids Galaxias maculatus (Jenyns) collected from the Jordan River

Photoactive organic-inorganic hybrid polymer waveguides for optical device technologies

© 2020 SPIE. Organic-inorganic hybrid polymers based on ureasils have found application as waveguides in luminescent solar concentrators and visible light communications. The mechanical properties, and thus processability of ureasils, has previously been qualitatively linked to the chemical structure, but has not yet been studied in detail. In this study, a series of low molecular weight ureasil polymers has been synthesised, and the correlation between the chemical structure and the optical and mechanical properties investigated. A wide-range of techniques are employed to investigate this relationship, including steady-state photoluminescence and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, 4-point flexural testing, and uniaxial tensile testing.This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 818762 - SPECTRACON).

Arthropod Pest Management in Organic Vegetable Greenhouses

We present a comprehensive discussion of pest management in organic greenhouse vegetable production. Greenhouse structures and production practices vary greatly in different regions of the world. In northern Europe and North America, they are closed heated structures because of the long periods of cold weather and biological control is highly developed. In Israel, commercial greenhouses are made of netting or plastic, are not heated because the winters are generally mild in comparison with northern climes and hot in the summers, and biological control is used almost exclusively on some crops. In South America, greenhouses are simple structures covered with plastic material without nets or heating/cooling systems. We limit our discussion to properly closed and ventilated greenhouses, exclusive of structures that are opened for any period during the day or season. Our discussion covers greenhouse structure; the first line of defense, regulatory, and phytosanitary measures; various management methods; and finally specific management of primary pest groups, mites, thrips, hemipterans (aphids, mealybugs, and whiteflies), and small Lepidoptera.EEA ConcordiaFil: Weintraub, Phyllis G.

Health state utilities of patients with heart failure: a systematic literature review

Background and Objectives New treatments and interventions are in development to address clinical needs in heart failure. To support decision making on reimbursement, cost-effectiveness analyses are frequently required. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify and summarize heart failure utility values for use in economic evaluations. Methods Databases were searched for articles published until June 2019 that reported health utility values for patients with heart failure. Publications were reviewed with specific attention to study design; reported values were categorized according to the health states, ‘chronic heart failure’, ‘hospitalized’, and ‘other acute heart failure’. Interquartile limits (25th percentile ‘Q1’, 75th percentile ‘Q3’) were calculated for health states and heart failure subgroups where there were sufficient data. Results The systematic literature review identified 161 publications based on data from 142 studies. Utility values for chronic heart failure were reported by 128 publications; 39 publications published values for hospitalized and three for other acute heart failure. There was substantial heterogeneity in the specifics of the study populations, methods of elicitation, and summary statistics, which is reflected in the wide range of utility values reported. EQ-5D was the most used instrument; the interquartile limit for mean EQ-5D values for chronic heart failure was 0.64–0.72. Conclusions There is a wealth of published utility values for heart failure to support economic evaluations. Data are heterogenous owing to specificities of the study population and methodology of utility value elicitation and analysis. Choice of value(s) to support economic models must be carefully justified to ensure a robust economic analysis

Geology of the Dhaulagiri-Annapurna-Manaslu Himalaya, Western Region, Nepal. 1:200,000

Geological mapping of mountains belts is fundamental to understanding their structure and evolution. Here, a 1:200,000 scale geological map of the central Himalaya of Western Region, Nepal is presented. This map represents a compilation of previously published maps, integrated with new geological field data. The wide spatial coverage of the map and the accompanying cross sections reveal the detailed structure of the Dhaulagiri-Annapurna-Manaslu Himalaya. The addition of modern topographic and infrastructure data makes this map suitable for navigation through the region

Patient perspectives of helpful risk management practices within mental health services. A mixed studies systematic review of primary research

Minimising the harm that patients pose to themselves and others, due to mental health difficulties, is a central component of risk management in psychiatry. However, risk management itself can cause patient harm, but despite this and the potentially informative value of lived experience, little is known about what patients want or expect from risk management. Aim: To review research and explore what patients consider beneficial in risk management practice. Method: A mixed‐studies systematic review utilising PRISMA guidelines, alongside a convergent qualitative design to categorise findings. Results: 12 papers were identified, generating two categories of beneficial practices: interpersonal relationships and communication with clinicians; coupled with patient agency in their own risk management. Discussion: Connectivity appears important. Particularly patients feeling involved, and their voices being heard in both the identification of risks and then shaping risk management practice. Moreover, this included involvement of friends, family, and peers to widen input and supportive networks beyond clinical relationships. Implications for Practice: Risk management needs to be an accessible part of care, which is more inclusive of patient views and needs. The latter might also be aided by drawing on the patient's wider community in order to provide more effective support and risk management
