Rules on Appeal—Time for Filing Statement of Facts Where Motion for New Trial Pending After Entry of Judgment

In a civil action tried to the court, judgment was entered immediately after the findings of fact were filed, and D moved for a new trial. Before the motion was ruled upon, he perfected an appeal. The motion was later denied, after which D gave a second notice of appeal. His statement of facts was served 125 days after the entry of judgment and forty-six days after the denial of the motion. P moved to strike the statement of facts, contending that the time for filing and serving the statement had expired ninety days after the date of entry of judgment. Held: Motion denied. A statement of facts must be served and filed within ninety days after the date of entry of judgment, or, if a motion for a new trial has been timely filed, within ninety days from the date of entry of the order denying the motion for a new trial.

People, planet and consumption : how young New Zealanders are responding to their awareness of consumption and ecological concerns

Driven by consumerism, resource depletion directly impacts ecological degradation and contributes to planetary environmental destruction. This study explores how young New Zealanders develop an awareness of the effects of consumption and respond to related ecological concerns. At the time of this study the 17 young people who self-identified as Aotearoa New Zealand citizens were aged between 22–29 years. They were recruited through an online survey and participated in one-to-one interviews and a focus group. Using a modified grounded theory approach to elicit and examine their narratives, the research sought to identify key drivers that shaped these young people’s awareness of ecological degradation and their actions to conserve planetary resources. Implications drawn from this study are relevant for policymakers, educators and parents to understand the critical influences and actions imperative for developing future generations of ecological citizens. Changing dominant economic, political and social systems to develop individuals who will hold post-materialistic values and share ecological worldviews will not be easy, as this will require dynamic change to parenting approaches and other dominant models, including education. Structural changes initiated with a clear vision of what is needed and shared by trusted leaders across all levels of society, rather than just mandatory legislation changes, could help shift citizens towards more sustainable practices. Parents taking their children into the outdoors and exposing them to free-ranging exploration of nature develops long-lasting connections and an awareness of the environment. Introducing a new education paradigm, as argued by advocates of Education for Sustainable Development that places sustainability as the central core in thinking, teaching and learning. An education model that promotes a communal approach to teaching ecological citizenship, where social agency rather than individual agency is championed to prevent young people feeling overwhelmed with the complexity of what they are facing in light of environmental and social challenges. These insights will be useful to encourage and support future generations thinking and actions in more ecological ways as they begin to shoulder the burden and challenges associated with anthropogenic environmental change

Analysis of the hippocampal proteome in ME7 prion disease reveals a predominant astrocytic signature and highlights the brain-restricted production of clusterin in chronic neurodegeneration

Prion diseases are characterized by accumulation of misfolded protein, gliosis, synaptic dysfunction, and ultimately neuronal loss. This sequence, mirroring key features of Alzheimer disease, is modeled well in ME7 prion disease. We used iTRAQ(TM)/mass spectrometry to compare the hippocampal proteome in control and late-stage ME7 animals. The observed changes associated with reactive glia highlighted some specific proteins that dominate the proteome in late-stage disease. Four of the up-regulated proteins (GFAP, high affinity glutamate transporter (EAAT-2), apo-J (Clusterin), and peroxiredoxin-6) are selectively expressed in astrocytes, but astrocyte proliferation does not contribute to their up-regulation. The known functional role of these proteins suggests this response acts against protein misfolding, excitotoxicity, and neurotoxic reactive oxygen species. A recent convergence of genome-wide association studies and the peripheral measurement of circulating levels of acute phase proteins have focused attention on Clusterin as a modifier of late-stage Alzheimer disease and a biomarker for advanced neurodegeneration. Since ME7 animals allow independent measurement of acute phase proteins in the brain and circulation, we extended our investigation to address whether changes in the brain proteome are detectable in blood. We found no difference in the circulating levels of Clusterin in late-stage prion disease when animals will show behavioral decline, accumulation of misfolded protein, and dramatic synaptic and neuronal loss. This does not preclude an important role of Clusterin in late-stage disease, but it cautions against the assumption that brain levels provide a surrogate peripheral measure for the progression of brain degeneration

Interactive Effects of Elevated Ozone plus Carbon Dioxide on Duckweeds Exposed in Open-Top Chambers

Author Institution: Biology Department, Denison University ; USDA Forest ServiceThe response of Lemna minor L. andSpirodelapolyrhiza (L.) Schleiden to projected future ambient levels of O3 and CO2 was studied under field conditions. The two duckweed species were treated with either charcoal-filtered air (CF), ambient O3 (1XO3), twice ambient O (2XO ), twice ambient CO2 plus twice ambient O3 (2XCO2+2XO3), or chamberless open-air (OA). Two experiments were conducted. In Experiment I, L. minor was treated for 15 d with a cumulative O exposure of 14.4 ppm* h. No O effects were observed during Experiment I. Dry weight of individual fronds and photosynthesis per frond increased inZ. minor exposed to 2XCO2+2XO^- air. In Experiment II after 25 d of treatment (cumulative O3 exposure of 16.2 ppmh), negative effects of 2XO on the photosynthetic and growth rates of L. minor were observed. Dark respiration of Z. minor significantly increased in 2XO3-air compared with controls, but declined significantly in 2XCO2+2XO3-air compared to those grown in 2XO3-air. Photosynthesis and dry weight per frond increased in 2XCO2+2XO3-air when compared with all other treatments. Measurement of A/C. (assimilation versus intercellular CO2 concentration) curves in Z. minor showed a significant reduction in carboxylation efficiency and maximum rates of photosynthesis in 2XCO2+2XO3-air compared with other treatments when expressed per weight. No differences in carboxylation efficiency were detected between treatments when expressed per frond

Developing a Culture of Publication: a joint enterprise writing retreat

Purpose: Many students irrespective of level of study produce excellent course work which, if given support and encouragement could clearly be of a publishable standard. Academic staff are expected to produce quality publications meeting peer review standards although they may be relatively novice authors. All are engaged in some aspects of academic writing practices but not as frequently involved in co-production of publications emanating from student work. This activity is still at the margins of much of the student experience. Design/methodology: Mindful of these issues, we designed and offered a writing programme including a writing retreat. This brought together undergraduate and postgraduate students from a range of applied disciplines (health and art, design and architecture) and their supervisors with the aim of co-producing publications and participating in a community of scholarly practice. The project was delivered over nine months. It involved four days ‘compulsory’ attendance and included a preparatory workshop, a two day off campus writing retreat and a dissemination event. Student and supervisors applied to participate as a team. Kirkpatrick’s (2006) four-stage classic model: reaction, learning, changes in behaviour and real world results was used as a framework for the educational evaluation. Key findings organised thematically were: Supervisor-supervisee relationships; space and time; building confidence enabling successful writing and publication. Originality/Value: This paper will provide an overview of the design, content and approaches used for successful delivery of this innovative project. It will draw on examples that illustrate the different types of joint enterprise that emerged, illuminate experiences of co-production and co-authorship along with recommendations for future ventures
