DEVELOP EUROGOOS MARINE CLIMATE SERVICE WITH A SEAMLESS EARTH SYSTEM APPROACH

The ocean is an important pathway to a low-carbon and climate resilient society, e.g. in areas of blue carbon, green shipping, offshore renewable energy, aquaculture, fi shery and coastal adaptation. Currently, 26 EU member states have made their National Adaptation Strategy (NAS) and/or National Strategy Plan (NAP) which needs a strong climate information service. European Global Ocean Observing System (EuroGOOS) has a strategy to expand existing operational marine service to climate change in 2020-2030. As focal points of national marine, climate and/or weather services, ROOS (Regional Sea Operational Oceanographic System) members have extensive experiences in working with citizens, stakeholders and decision-makers at national, regional and municipality levels. This paper will review current marine climate service capacity in ROOS members, identify gaps in modelling, products and service, and propose a seamless earth system approach for developing EuroGOOS and ROOS marine climate service capacities.Versión del edito

Staying Cool Across the First Year of Middle School

As students transition into middle school they must successfully negotiate a new, larger peer context to attain or maintain high social standing. The goal of this study was to examine the extent to which the maintenance, attainment, and loss of a cool status over the course of the sixth grade is associated with student and classroom levels of physical, verbal, and relational aggression. To address this goal, we studied a sample of 1985 (55% girls) ethnically diverse adolescents from 99 sixth grade classrooms in the United States. Attaining a cool status at any point across the school year was associated with stronger aggressive reputations. Additionally, classroom norms for aggressive behavior moderated the association between changes in aggression over the school year and the stability of coolness such that students who maintained their coolness across the school year showed greater increases in their verbally aggressive reputations from fall to spring when they were in classrooms with higher levels of aggression. The findings illustrate the importance of fitting in with social norms for maintaining a high social status among a new set of peers in middle school

Representación de una imagen digna del adulto mayor en la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara

En este proyecto se realizó un filtrado de las imágenes grabadas en periodos anteriores de este Proyecto de Aplicación Profesional sobre adultos mayores en la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara. Se establecieron tres conceptos a identificar en el material audiovisual: estereotipos, representaciones sociales y discurso. Se buscó que las imágenes mostraran una imagen digna e íntegra de los adultos mayores para generar una visión distinta de cómo se vive la vejez

Genotypes, allele frequencies, and geographic locations of the Native American populations investigated.

1<p>Samples genotyped in present study  = 229;</p>2<p>Caution is needed regarding the classification of these modes of subsistence, since they are not stable over time and may not be unique. However, the two categories adopted here (agriculturalist and hunter-gatherer/forager) represent general pre-Columbian subsistence conditions of the investigated populations in accordance with what is known about them. AMOVA results: (a) Among the subdivisions (<i>F_CT</i>): 3.6% (<i>p</i> = 0.000); (b) Among populations within the Mesoamerican Agriculturalist subdivision (<i>F_ST):</i> 1.8% (<i>p</i> = 0.008); (c) Among populations within the South American hunter-gatherer/forager subdivision: 5.3% (<i>p</i> = 0.005); Among populations within the Andean Agriculturarist group: 0% (<i>p</i> = 0.36).</p

The lines represent confidence intervals. Only the <i>ABCA1</i> locus showed significance at the 5% level (filled blue circle). Five selected SNPs were not plotted in the figure because of monomorphic sites in all subdivisions, missing data, and/or dot superposition.</p
