A comprehensive understanding of temporal trends in the disease burden Australia is lacking, and these are required to inform health service planning improve population health. We explored diseases their risk factors from 1990 2019 through a analysis Global Burden Disease Study (GBD) 2019.In this systematic for GBD 2019, we estimated all-cause mortality using standardised methodology. Data sources included primarily vital registration systems with additional data sample registrations,...
Understanding population-level responses to novel selective pressures can elucidate evolutionary consequences of human-altered habitats. Stream impoundments (reservoirs) alter riverine ecosystems worldwide, exposing stream fishes uncommon pressures. Assessing phenotypic trait divergence in reservoir habitats will be a first step identifying the potential and ecological impoundments. We tested for body shape four stream-adapted found both within three separate basins. Shape variation among...

ABSTRACT Aim Accurate and appropriate cognitive screening can significantly enhance early psychosis care, yet no tools have been validated for the population little is known about current practices, experiences, or factors that may influence implementation. CogScreen a hybrid type 1 study aiming to validate two promising with young people first episode (primary aim) understand context implementing in settings (secondary aim). This protocol outlines implementation study, which aims explore...
Abstract Background To improve early intervention and personalise treatment for individuals on the psychosis continuum, a greater understanding of symptom dynamics is required. We address this by identifying evaluating movement between empirically derived attenuated psychotic symptomatic substates—clusters symptoms that occur within over time. Methods Data came from 90-day daily diary study affective symptoms. The sample included 96 aged 18–35 divided into four subgroups increasing severity...
Introduction The ability to perform optimally under pressure is critical across many occupations, including the military, first responders, and competitive sport. Despite recognition that such performance depends on a range of cognitive factors, how common these factors are domains remains unclear. current study sought integrate existing knowledge in field form transdisciplinary expert consensus mechanisms underlie pressure. Methods International experts were recruited from four [(i)...
To evaluate physiological stress resulting from environmental influences, a haematological study of natural population largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides , was undertaken to establish ‘normal’ blood profile. Several parameters including haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, erythrocyte count, mean corpuscular volume, haemoglobin, plasma protein concentration and glucose levels were investigated. Haematocrit, total positively correlated with fish length. Haemoglobin haematocrit age...
Abstract Corn ( Zea mays L.) grain yields have been related to wide range of management practices. Row spacing and plant population effects well documented; however, little research has conducted on the variability within‐row its effect yields. Experiments were in 1972–75 at three irrigated locations Kansas determine corn Low was obtained by hand planting within machine planted areas which provided a variability. Within‐row determined 3‐m sections rows taking individual measurements between...
Abstract Within the past few decades, telemetry has proven to be a valuable tool for tracking and monitoring fish. Although advent of smaller transmitters made these methods increasingly applicable small‐bodied fishes, limited information currently exists regarding efficacy or their putative effects on fishes. I evaluated physiological performance consequences PIT tag implantation in small‐bodied, sexually dimorphic stream fish, Blackspotted Topminnow Fundulus olivaceus . First, used...
Abstract Aim Cognitive impairments are a core feature of first‐episode psychosis (FEP) and one the strongest predictors long‐term psychosocial functioning. Cognition should be assessed treated as part routine clinical care for FEP. screening offers opportunity to rapidly identify triage those in most need cognitive support. However, there currently no validated measures young people with CogScreen is hybrid effectiveness‐implementation study which aims evaluate classification accuracy...
Many of the oil and gas platforms off California harbor high densities young-of-the-year (YOY) fishes, primarily rockfishes (genus Sebastes). One decommissioning option for these is topping, cutting structure some distance below water line leaving rest jacket in place. Questions have arisen regarding how this would affect nursery function remaining structure. Between 2008 2010, we surveyed YOY fishes at seven intact platforms, as well six reefs three shipwrecks that did not crest near...
The UK Biobank cognitive assessment data has been a significant resource for researchers looking to investigate predictors and modifiers of abilities associated health outcomes in the general population. Given diverse nature this data, use different approaches - from single test composing intelligence score, g, across tests. We argue that both are suboptimal one being too specific other suggest novel multifactorial solution represent abilities.Using combined Exploratory Factor (EFA)...
Increasingly, energy generation facilities (i.e., wave and wind) are being sited in offshore marine waters.The electricity generated from these is transmitted to shore through cables carrying alternating (AC) or direct (DC) current.If DC used, it converted AC for the North American grid at onshore stations.While currents produce both electric magnetic fields, only field, here called an electromagnetic field (EMF), emitted cable.Some vertebrates invertebrates can detect EMFs (summarized...
Abstract Hatcheries and stocking programs have become necessary to repatriate or augment populations of imperiled fishes worldwide. Over nearly two decades, millions endangered juvenile Colorado Pikeminnow Ptychocheilus lucius been stocked into the San Juan River (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah); however, recruitment these individuals adult life stages (age ≥6) remains low. Using a mark–recapture data set collected from annual riverwide electrofishing efforts between 2003 2016, we investigated...
Positive correlations between diversity and stability have been reported for a number of ecosystems are thought to be caused by stabilizing effect differential species' responses environmental perturbation. Empirical field studies in which investigators tested diversity–stability relationships lacking some taxonomic groups typically not included tests the importance other potential correlates or assemblage structure. We sampled stream fish assemblages associated habitat variables at 36 sites...
Offshore oil and gas platforms have a finite life of production operations. Once ceases, decommissioning options for the platform are assessed. The role that platform's jacket plays as fish habitat can inform decision. In this study, conducted along crossbeams California using an ROV, we compared estimates diversity densities determined from targeted "biological" survey with those replicated "structural" survey. We found water column species assemblages characterized by two methods were...
Between 1 February 2012 and 26 2014 using scuba, we surveyed the fishes, invertebrates, macrophytes living on two energized submarine power cables, an adjacent pipe, nearby natural habitat in southern California at bottom depths of 10–11 m 13–14 m. Over course study, average electromagnetic field (EMF) levels cables (A B) were statistically similar (Cable A = 73.0µT, Cable B 91.4µT) much higher these than either pipe (average 0.5µT) or sand (0µT). Overall, our study demonstrated that 1) fish...
Abstract Understanding the interaction between sexual and natural selection within variable environments is crucial to our understanding of evolutionary processes. The handicap principle predicts females will prefer males with exaggerated traits provided those are indicators male quality ensure direct or indirect female benefits. Spatial variability in ecological factors expected alter balance that defines evolution such traits. Male blackspotted topminnows (Fundulidae: Fundulus olivaceus )...
Abstract Animal movement at localised scales is often modulated by competing pressures such as avoiding predators while acquiring resources and mates. The relative magnitude of these trade‐offs may affect males females differently, resulting in sex‐specific differences movement. Sex‐biases have been linked to mating systems (e.g. monogamy or polygamy) birds mammals; however, this relationship has received less attention among fishes. Using passive integrated transponder tags a series...
