Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been increasingly proposed, evaluated and implemented as management tools for achieving both fisheries conservation objectives in aquatic ecosystems. However, there is a challenge associated with the application of MPAs marine resource respect to consequences traditional systems monitoring managing resources. The place‐based paradigm can complicate population‐based most stock assessments. In this review, we identify potential complications that...

Abstract Nested logit models are increasingly being used to value environmental amenities. The implications of nesting structure, choice estimator (FIML or sequential), and restrictions on parameters across nested groups welfare estimates examined. These issues have received little previous attention. Model selection criteria that can be distinguish among the extended applied. Additionally, a simulation procedure is implemented construct standard errors for measures.

Background : Regular physical activity and higher cardiorespiratory (CR) fitness enhance immune function, possibly reducing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection severity. The aim was to assess the association between self-reported CR on COVID-19 characteristics. Methods Participants formerly testing positive for completed an online questionnaire measuring characteristics complications, level, activity, sociodemographic health-related Self-reported determined as pace cover 4.8 km...

Sensation seeking is the tendency to seek out new and thrilling experiences take risks for sake of such experiences. A single‐nucleotide polymorphism, −521 C/T (rs1800955) in promoter region dopamine‐4‐receptor gene ( DRD4 ), associated with approach‐related traits including novelty extraversion, some, but not all studies. To our knowledge, no studies have been conducted on genetics risk‐taking behavior sports. Using a joint‐analysis approach, we measured sensation two cohorts experienced...

Points• Hiking promotes opportunity for individuals to be active based on varying fitness, skill, and sociodemographic levels.

Background: With a warming climate, extreme wildfires are more likely to occur, which may adversely affect air quality, physical activity (PA), and therefore, mental well-being. Methods: We assessed PA engagement well-being between periods with without wildfire smoke, whether there were associations changes in behavior Questionnaires on during period of smoke completed by 348 participants; these participants, 162 also follow-up questionnaire smoke. Data analyzed using generalized/linear...

Quantifying spatiotemporal dynamics of ecosystem services is an emerging approach for informing and managing trade-offs among cumulative or competing activities in marine environments. As one proxy benefits, we quantified mapped catch economic value California commercial fisheries removals using a 75-year spatially explicit time series. From 1931 to 2005, approximately 88% the was attributed finfish. However, there has been increasing reliance proportional from invertebrates over last 25...

Abstract Background Cancer survivorship results in an increased number of physical and psychosocial health issues. Engaging activity natural environments is often thought as restorative. Despite the potential benefits engaging there are no sustainable community-based programs for cancer survivors that employ this form activity. This study aims to evaluate impact 8-week trail-walking (TW) program on anxiety a population adult survivors. Methods The TW consisted two trail walks per week 8...

Sensation seeking is a personality trait that has been associated with disinhibited behaviours including substance use and gambling, but also high-risk sport practices skydiving, paragliding, downhill skiing. Twin studies have shown sensation moderately heritable, candidate genes encoding components involved in dopaminergic transmission investigated as contributing to this type of behaviour. To determine whether variants the regulatory regions dopamine-4-receptor gene (DRD4) influenced...

Introduction : Physical activity (PA) is essential for healthy aging, yet PA levels are low in older adults. Group-based nature programming may be an ideal opportunity engaging adults and improving health-related quality of life. Methods Twenty-seven adults, 55–75 years age ( n = 14 active 13 previously inactive), enrolled a biweekly 8-week hiking program. At baseline, participants completed online questionnaires on life, behavioral psychological outcomes, one-mile walk test to assess...

Athletes participating in high-risk sports consistently report higher scores on sensation-seeking measures than do low-risk athletes or non-athletic controls. To determine whether genetic variants commonly associated with sensation seeking were over-represented such athletes, proficient practitioners of (n = 141) and 132) compared for then genotyped at 33 polymorphic loci 14 candidate genes. As expected, score did sport (P < .01). Genotypes participation two genes (stathmin, .004)...

Studies of separate exercise and weight loss interventions have reported improvements in quality life (QoL) or reduction atrial fibrillation (AF) burden. We investigated the impact a structured exercise, nutrition, risk-factor-modification program on QoL AF burden.In this trial, 81 successive patients with body mass index > 27 kg/m2 nonpermanent were randomized to an intervention (n = 41) control group 40). The consisted cardiovascular risk management 6-month nutrition program, followed by...

Abstract The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) is a premier global research capacity development institution focused on enhancing society’s capability to understand, use, manage evaluate climate information. Its goal strengthen the technical of individuals organizations in order increase demand information its application. In early years IRI, staff trained local meteorologists decision makers, often developing countries, using products that IRI’s forecast group...

Since 1982, declines in the U.S. reduction fishery for northern anchovy Engraulis mordax were due to ex-vessel prices too low meet opportunity costs of traditional crew members southern California wetfish fleet, rather than inability variable (short-run) items such as fuel. The decline appeared be driven largely by costs, which, turn, depended on ethnic background members. Our analysis indicated that and sociological factors, which are often ignored managers who traditionally focus...

This paper discusses the diverse and dynamic nature of California's commercial fi sheries resource, environmental, economic, regulatory factors that affected participation, landings, ex-vessel revenues during 1981-2012.Fishery trends are a simplistic some-
