Volunteering provides unique benefits to organisations, recipients, and potentially the volunteers themselves. This umbrella review examined of volunteering their potential moderators. Eleven databases were searched for systematic reviews on social, mental, physical, or general health volunteering, published up July 2022. AMSTAR 2 was used assess quality overlap included primary studies calculated. Twenty-eight included; participants mainly older adults based in USA. Although between low,...
Seed of 41 economically important weed species the Great Plains region United States were buried 20 cm deep in soil eastern and western Nebraska 1976. The consisted 11 annual grass, 14 broadleaf, 4 biennial 12 perennial broadleaf species. Weed seeds exhumed annually for germination tests first 9 yr, then after 17 yr. Germination percentages at two burial locations averaged over 0, 1 to 4, 5 8, yr 57, 28, 9, 4% grass; 47, 26, 16, % broadleaf; 52, 49, 44, 30 36, 18, 13, 8% 10% all species,...
Abstract Background Telecare could greatly facilitate chronic disease management in the community, but despite government promotion and positive demonstrations its implementation has been limited. This study aimed to identify factors inhibiting integration of telecare systems for community. Methods Large scale comparative employing qualitative data collection techniques: semi-structured interviews with key informants, task-groups, workshops; framework analysis informed by Normalization...
Seedbanks and seedling emergence of annual weeds were examined in arable fields at eight locations the Corn Belt. Seed densities estimated by direct seed extraction from each several soil cores sampled plot. Average total seedbank ranged 600 to 162 000 viable m -2 among locations. Coefficients variation (CV) typically exceeded 50%. CV for individual species usually 100%, indicating strongly aggregated distributions. lower with dense populations than those sparse populations. Variance was...

Asthma is commonly reported in patients with a diagnosis of bronchiectasis.
Background A validated 4-point sputum colour chart can be used to objectively evaluate the levels of airway inflammation in bronchiectasis patients. In European Bronchiectasis Registry (EMBARC), we tested whether would associated with disease severity and clinical outcomes. Methods We a prospective, observational registry adults conducted 31 countries. Patients who did not produce spontaneous were excluded from analysis. The Murray was at baseline follow-up visits. Key outcomes frequency...
Field experiments, conducted from 1991 to 1994, generated information on weed seedbank emergence for 22 site-years Ohio Colorado and Minnesota Missouri. Early spring densities were estimated through direct extraction of viable seeds soil cores. Emerged seedlings recorded periodically, as daily values air temperature, precipitation. Percentages seedbanks that emerged calculated seedling data each species, relationships between microclimatic variables sought. Fifteen species found in 3 or more...
A phone survey was administered to 1,195 growers in six states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, and North Carolina). The measured producers' crop history, perception of glyphosate-resistant (GR) weeds, past present weed pressure, tillage practices, herbicide use as affected by the adoption GR crops. This article describes changes practice reported survey. a cropping system resulted large increase percentage using no-till reduced-till systems. Tillage intensity declined more...
In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important respiratory pathogen. It able to synthesise hydrogen cyanide, a potent inhibitor of cellular respiration. The present study investigated whether cyanide in sputum CF bronchiectasis infected P. , detection affected lung function. Cyanide was measured using ion selective electrode. detected from 15 out 25 current infection; however, it not any 10 without this organism. Maximum levels...
Invasive annual grasses, such as medusahead, can reduce forage production capacity and interfere with revegetation projects in California rangelands. Because of the taxonomic similarity to other more desirable achieving selective control invasive grasses be difficult. In selectivity trials conducted Yolo Siskiyou counties, CA, herbicide imazapic gave many nonnative yet provided some level specific perennial used throughout western United States. The difference between newly seeded was...
Abstract This article presents the case for need a re‐think in prevailing orthodoxy of measurement approaches governance and management public services. The explores simplification complex reality that outcomes‐based performance (OBPM) requires order to function, consequences such simplification. It examines evidence against effectiveness OBPM, argues both sets can be brought into single explanatory story by understanding theory OBPM. required measure attribute ‘outcomes’ turns organization...
In our data-centric world, most services rely on collecting and using personal data. The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to enhance individuals' control over their data, but its practical impact is not well understood. We present a 10-participant study, where each participant filed 4-5 data access requests. Through interviews accompanying these requests discussions scrutinising returned it appears that GDPR falls short of goals due non-compliance low-quality responses....
The authors put forward a relational public service agenda which involves investing in infrastructure, focusing on appropriate scaling of change, balancing specialism and generalism roles functions, pursuing improvement through engaged research endeavours. This shift requires new thinking, tools terms measurement, learning evaluation practice service. argue this constitutes basis for academic administration to prospectively engage scholarship addresses the complex challenges confronting our...
The jet stream is an important dynamic driver of climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes
The seed composition in the upper 15-cm soil horizon was determined and correlated with weed seedlings growing fieldbeans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. ‘Valley’). total reservoir averaged 250 seed/kg of soil, 19 species were represented. Seed occurring most frequency redroot pigweed Amaranthus retroflexus ♯ AMARE), common lambsquarters Chenopodium album CHEAL), purslane Portulaca oleracea POROL). from these plants accounted for over 85% found. number barnyardgrass [ Echinochloa crus-galli (L.)...
