AbstractAssessing the impact of conservation campaigns is of high importance for optimizing the use of limited resources. Lists of threatened species are often used as media outreach tools, but their usefulness is rarely tested. We investigated whether the inclusion of a species in the list “World’s 25 Most Endangered Primates”, published biannually by the International Primatological Society, the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group, and Conservation International from 2000, had an effect both on scientific publications and on the general public. We analyzed a database of 40 million articles from major scientific publishers (Elsevier, Springer, Nature, Plos, Pubmed, Biomed Central) finding an increase in the number of papers mentioning a species after its inclusion in the list. We also analyzed media penetration (data from Google News), and online interest (data from Google Blogs, Twitter, and Google Trends), collecting daily data for one month before and one after the official launch of the 2014-2016 list (24th November 2015). The results show a short spike of interest on Google News and Twitter but no long term effect, indicating a limited effect on the general public. Our results are important for the understanding of the impact of current conservation campaigns and to provide strategies for future campaigns.

This chapter focuses on the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. Following Henry VIII's break with Rome in 1531, the English Reformation led Britain into a protracted struggle with the two great Catholic powers, Spain and France, for the next 300 years. The long-term effect was to define Britain as the leading Protestant power; but more immediately, it posed a far greater threat to England than Islam, and effectively destroyed the rationale for crusading activities. In this situation, the Islamic empires actually became a valuable balancing factor in European diplomacy. Henry's readiness to deal with the Muslim powers was far from eccentric during the sixteenth century. Both King Francis I of France and Queen Elizabeth I of England took the policy of collaboration much further.

This study aims to investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Turkey's tourism sector. In the study, for the period 12 March 2020 - 31 August 2020 the daily data of the BIST tourism stock index and Covid-19 case and death counts in Turkey were used. The cointegration relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and the BIST tourism index was investigated with the ARDL bound test. In addition, the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the BIST tourism index was tested with the FMOLS regression method. As a result of the ARDL bound test, it was determined that there is a long-term cointegration relationship between the Covid-19 case and death numbers and the BIST tourism index. According to the FMOLS regression model results, it is seen that the deaths of Covid 19 significantly affect the tourism index. A 1% increase in the number of deaths causes the BIST tourism index to decrease by 0.08%. The coefficient of the number of Covid-19 cases is not significant, showing that the number of cases does not have a sufficient effect on the tourism index.

This study examines the dynamic relationships between firm-generated content (FGC), user-generated content (UGC), traditional media, and offline light vehicle sales. Data were collected from the official Facebook and Twitter pages of 30 U.S. car brands from 2009 to 2015. Our results suggest that Facebook and Twitter are heterogeneous in terms of their effect on offline vehicle sales; FGC is more effective than UGC for influencing offline light vehicle sales; viral impressions from Facebook and Twitter are essential, although effects vary for the various social media platforms, FGC, and UGC; and a firm’s marketing efforts and UGC both have a long-term effect on sales, with the long-term effect of a firm’s marketing efforts outlasting that of UGC. We also documented the within-Twitter synergistic effect between FGC and UGC for offline car sales and cross-channel substitution relationships between FGC and both Facebook and traditional media and Twitter and traditional media. Our study implies that managers who attempt to maximize multichannel marketing for offline sales of durable goods should consider (1) the nature of each platform, (2) the number of potential audiences each platform can reach, and (3) the user basis of each platform.

Currently, the problem of waste reduction is a permanent concern for all countries of the world, given the need to ensure the sustainability development. In this context, the research aims to highlight the impact of education and demographic factors by residence areas on the long-term behavior of the amount of waste generated in 29 European countries during 2013–2017. The study is based on statistical and econometric modeling aimed at identifying, testing and analyzing the existence of long-term correlation between the amount of waste per capita recorded in each country and four factors of influence considered significant for waste reduction: Pupils and students by education level and Classroom teachers and academic staff by education level, representing exogenous variables which quantify the educational outcomes, as well as The population by degree of urbanization (cities, rural areas), as demographic factors. As a result of an analysis based on correlation and regression method, a cointegration relationship between the analyzed variables was identified. Considering the amount of waste as an important component of the environmental pressure, the obtained results show the significant long-term effect that education and the demographic factor can have on its long-lasting behavior, as well as the ways through which these factors can act to strengthen sustainability.

Spot Volatility

This paper examines the impact of expiration of derivatives on spot volatility of Indian capital market. The review of the literature shows that the previous Indian studies have covered a period of only 4–6 years after the introduction of derivative trading in India in 2000. They are unanimous about volume effect but not about return and volatility effect. This paper uses regression techniques and one symmetric and three asymmetric GARCH models, namely, TGARCH, EGARCH, and PGARCH, to evaluate the impact. It uses daily data on popular index S&P CNX Nifty of National Stock Exchange of India, during a period of more than a decade from June 12, 2000 to January 10, 2012. Findings of the study show that spot returns, volume, and volatility are high on expiration day and they build up further on the day after expiry which shows that the Indian market is weakly efficient. The expiration effect is mainly due to concentration of volumes in near-month contracts and absence of physical settlement.

SUMMARYFarmer participatory approaches for the identification or breeding of improved crop cultivars can be usefully categorized into participatory varietal selection (PVS) and participatory plant breeding (PPB). Various PVS and PPB methods are reviewed. PVS is a more rapid and cost-effective way of identifying farmer-preferred cultivars if a suitable choice of cultivars exists. If this is impossible, then the more resource-consuming PPB is required. PPB can use, as parents, cultivars that were identified in successful PVS programmes. Compared with conventional plant breeding, PPB is more likely to produce farmer-acceptable products, particularly for marginal environments. The impact of farmer participatory research on biodiversity is considered. The long-term effect of PVS is to increase biodiversity, but where indigenous variability is high it can also reduce it. PPB has a greater effect on increasing biodiversity although its impact may be limited to smaller areas. PPB can be a dynamic form of in situ genetic conservation.

The emergence of a new Coronavirus Disease 2019-2022 has turned the globe down and disrupted main determinants of health. The world constitutes by more than 2.2 billion children, which is approximately 28% of the world's population. Compare to adult, this pandemic has a long -term adverse consequences among children and adolescents. The objective of this literature review was to examine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on children and adolescent’s mental health. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched from 07 April 2021 to 22 April 2021. A systematic literature search was performed in accordance with PRISMA and 07 literatures were selected. Among 16,169 samples, the mean percentage of male was higher 5 by 6.11% than female of 43.89%. Depression was mentioned in three studies and the percentages were 43.7% (n=8079), 22.6% (n=2330), and 22.8% (n=3613). Anxiety was mentioned in four studies and the percentages were 37.4% (n=8079), 18.9% (n=2330), and 23.87 ± 15.79 and 29.27 ± 19.79 (n=3613) and in one study according to CAQ and NRS, the level of anxiety was 19.4% and 21.8%. The combination of anxiety and depression was 31.3%. One study mentioned that pro social behaviour score was higher in females than males. In other two studies, various psychological symptoms are mentioned such as worry, fear, helplessness, boredom, difficulty in concentration, irritability, restlessness, nervousness, feeling of loneliness and uneasiness. These psychological symptoms have long-term effect on child’s health. Therefore, as a nurse, we should take care of the child and aware that the child and their parents regarding various psychological problems and its management.

Grazing Behaviour

To evaluate the impact of feeding rams for 14 weeks with legumes and supplement on their clinical, behavioural and endocrine responses, 32 Merino rams, 17 months old, were allocated to four groups (n = 8). The 2 × 2 factorial arrangement evaluated the pasture type (IP, improved pasture; NP, native pasture) and the effect of feeding (+S) or not (–S) feeding a supplement. Every 2 weeks liveweight, scrotal circumference and serving capacity were evaluated and blood samples taken to measure the concentrations of metabolites and metabolic hormones. Grazing behaviour was evaluated every 4 weeks. Rams grazing IP (61.8 ± 0.7 kg) were heavier than those grazing NP (59.6 ± 0.7 kg; P < 0.05), and +S rams (61.8 ± 0.7 kg) heavier than –S rams (59.3 ± 0.6 kg; P < 0.05). Compared with rams from the IP+S, IP–S and NP+S, rams grazing NP–S lost weight (P < 0.001) during the experiment. The scrotal circumference was larger in IP+S (30 ± 0.4 cm), IP–S (30 ± 0.4 cm) and NP+S (31 ± 04 cm) than in NP–S (29 ± 0.4 cm; P < 0.001). Only in rams from the group NP+S was a significant increase in scrotal circumference observed during the trial (P < 0.05). The supplement tended to maintain the mating potential elevated towards the end of the experiment (+S: 74.3 ± 5.4 and –S: 61.7 ± 6.3 ewes/ram; P = 0.07). Supplemented rams were less frequently seen grazing (47 ± 3%) than non-supplemented rams (57 ± 4%; P = 0.09). Rams grazing IP ruminated more frequently (13 ± 2%) than those grazing NP (9 ± 2%; P < 0.001). Events such as lying down, playing, self-grooming and drinking water were more frequent in supplemented (36 ± 2%) than non-supplemented rams (30 ± 2%; P = 0.09). The supplement increased the concentrations of insulin and glucose and decreased the concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids, albumin and urea (P < 0.05). IP increased the concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-I, protein, albumin and urea and tended to increase the concentrations of insulin. We conclude that feeding Merino rams a high plane of nutrition reduced the frequency of grazing events and stimulated a long-term improvement of the metabolic status, evidenced by an increase in liveweight and scrotal circumference, with relevant implications for their mating potential.

BackgroundThe myopia control effect of orthokeratology (OK) varies among individuals. The variation might relate to the proposed ‘areal summation effect’ of lens-induced visual signals. The current study evaluated the areal summed corneal power shift (ASCPS) in myopic children treated with OK lenses and assessed whether the ASCPS achieved at early post-OK visit can predict the lens long-term effect on the axial length (AL) elongation.MethodsStudy participants were 130 myopic children treated with OK lenses (age range, 8 to 15 years) in a prospective study. Corneal topography and AL were measured at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after OK lens wear. The ASCPS was derived from corneal topographic measurements and defined as the change in the areal summed corneal relative refraction at the follow-up visit from baseline. The impact of the ASCPS achieved at the 1 month post-OK visit on the 12 months AL elongation was examined using multivariate linear regression analysis.ResultsBaseline age of the study participants was 11.8 ± 1.8 years and their mean spherical equivalent was −3.00±0.92 D. The ASCPS was 6.90±6.09 D*mm at the 1 month visit and remained stable throughout the follow-up period (p=0.5508, repeated-measures analysis of variance). Greater 1 month ASCPS was associated with slower AL elongation at the 12 months visit (β=−0.007, p=0.001).ConclusionsThe ASCPS achieved at early post-OK visit is predictive for the lens long-term effect on the myopic AL elongation. The parameter is potential in guiding the OK lens practice to slow down axial growth in myopic children.
