The effects of synthetic pesticides on the soil microbial community have been thoroughly investigated in the past mostly by
culture-dependent methods and only few recent studies have used culture-independent approaches for this purpose. However,
it should be noted that most of these studies have been conducted in microcosms where the soil microbial community is exposed
to unrealistic concentrations of the pesticides, providing an unrealistic exposure scheme for soil microorganism. On the other
hand, little is known regarding the potential impact of botanical pesticides on the soil microbial community. Therefore, a
laboratory study and a field study were conducted to investigate the effects of synthetic (metham sodium [MS], sodium tetrathiocarbonate
[SoTe], and fosthiazate) and botanical pesticides (azadirachtin, quillaja, and pulverized Melia azedarach fruits [PMF]) on the soil microbial community using phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) analysis. Principal component analysis
(PCA) on the results of the laboratory study indicated that the application of PMF resulted in significant changes in the
soil microbial community. This was obvious by the proportional increase in the abundance of fatty acids 18:1ω9cis, 18:1ω9trans, which are common in gram-negative bacteria and saprotrophic fungi, and 18:2ω6,9, which is a fungal indicator. This response
was attributed to the release of copious amounts of organic carbon and nutrients in the soil by the PMF. On the other hand,
MS inhibited fungi and gram-negative bacteria, while fosthiazate and the botanical pesticides quillaja and azadirachtin did
not impose significant changes in the soil microbial community. Similar results were obtained by the field study where application
of the fumigants MS and SoTe significantly altered the structure of the soil microbial community with the former having a
more prominent effect. Fosthiazate imposed mild changes in the soil microbial community, whereas quillaja and azadirachtin
again did not show a significant effect. Overall, botanical pesticides, at their recommended dose, did not alter the structure
of the soil microbial community compared to synthetic nonfumigant and fumigant pesticides which induced significant changes. 相似文献

Abstract As a famous plateau lake and a place rich in biodiversity located at the Hengduan Mountains, there is little research on microbial diversity and community composition in Erhai. In this study, 770,425 16S rRNA sequences had obtained at different depth samples. The abundance‐based coverage estimates (ACE), Chao1, and Shannon indices indicated the high abundance and diversity of Erhai sediment microorganisms. And they were obviously affected by human disturbance. Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Bacteroidia, Anaerolineae, Phycisphaerae, and Methanomicrobia were dominant bacteria and existed in almost all samples. The content of total nitrogen (TN) in sediments had a significant positive correlation between Syntrophus, Deltaproteobacteria, Desulfatiglans, Oxyphotobacteria, Clostridiales, Burkholderiaceae, Geobacter, Crenothrix species richness. Desulfobacca, Syntrophus, Deltaproteobacteria, Desulfatiglans, Gammaproteobacteria, Oxyphotobacteria, and Clostridiales were positively correlated with the nitrates in sediments. And the species richness of Desulfatiglans was correlated with NO2 -. The RDA analysis was shown that dbRDA1 was affected mainly by the depth of lake, while the content of TN, NO3 ?, NO2 ?, and NH4 + had the largest effect on dbRDA2. The results indicated the great relations between the diversity and composition of microbial communities and different forms of sediment nitrogen in Erhai lake sediments. 相似文献

Leaders of health professional schools often support community-based education as a means of promoting emerging practitioners’
awareness of health disparities and commitment to serving the poor. Yet, most programs do not teach about the causes of health
disparities, raising questions regarding what social and political lessons students learn from these experiences. This article
examines the ways in which community-based clinical education programs help shape the subjectivities of new dentists as ethical
clinician-citizens within the US commodified health care system. Drawing on ethnographic research during volunteer and required
community-based programs and interviews with participants, I demonstrate three implicit logics that students learned: (1)
dialectical ideologies of volunteer entitlement and recipient debt; (2) forms of justification for the often inferior care
provided to “failed” consumers (patients with Medicaid or uninsured); and (3) specific forms of obligations characterizing
the ethical clinician-citizen. I explore the ways these messages reflected the structured relations of both student encounters
and the overarching health care system, and examine the strategies faculty supervisors undertook to challenge these messages
and relations. Finally, I argue that promoting commitments to social justice in health care should not rely on cultivating
altruism, but should instead be pursued through educating new practitioners about the lives of poor people, the causal relationships
between poverty and poor health, and attention to the structure of health care and provider–patient interactions. This approach
involves shining a critical light on America’s commodified health care system as an arena based in relations of power and
inequality. 相似文献

Background
Chronic pain is recognized as a public health problem that affects the general population physically, psychologically, and socially. However, there is little knowledge about the associated factors of chronic pain, such as the influence of weather, family structure, daily exercise, and work status.Objectives
This survey had three aims: 1) to estimate the prevalence of chronic pain in Japan, 2) to analyze these associated factors, and 3) to evaluate the social burden due to chronic pain.Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional postal survey in a sample of 6000 adults aged ≥20 years. The response rate was 43.8%.Results
The mean age of the respondents was 57.7 years (range 20–99 years); 39.3% met the criteria for chronic pain (lasting ≥3 months). Approximately a quarter of the respondents reported that their chronic pain was adversely influenced by bad weather and also oncoming bad weather. Risk factors for chronic pain, as determined by a logistic regression model, included being an older female, being unemployed, living alone, and no daily exercise. Individuals with chronic pain showed significantly lower quality of life and significantly higher psychological distress scores than those without chronic pain. The mean annual duration of absence from work of working-age respondents was 9.6 days (range 1–365 days).Conclusions
Our findings revealed that high prevalence and severity of chronic pain, associated factors, and significant impact on quality of life in the adult Japanese population. A detailed understanding of factors associated with chronic pain is essential for establishing a management strategy for primary care. 相似文献8.

Addressing the lack of population-based data the purpose of this representative study was to assess procrastination and its associations with distress and life satisfaction across the life span. A representative German community sample (1,350 women; 1,177 men) between the ages of 14 and 95 years was examined by the short form of the General Procrastination Scale (GPS-K; 1) and standardized scales of perceived stress, depression, anxiety, fatigue and life satisfaction. As hypothesized, procrastination was highest in the youngest cohort (14–29 years). Only in the youngest and most procrastinating cohort (aged 14 to 29 years), men procrastinated more than women. As we had further hypothesized, procrastination was consistently associated with higher stress, more depression, anxiety, fatigue and reduced satisfaction across life domains, especially regarding work and income. Associations were also found with lack of a partnership and unemployment. Findings are discussed with regard to potential developmental and cohort effects. While procrastination appears to be a pervasive indicator for maladjustment, longitudinal analyses in high-risk samples (e.g. late adolescence, unemployment) are needed to identify means and mechanisms of procrastinating. 相似文献

The exploitation ecosystems hypothesis suggests that food chain length increases along gradients of increasing primary productivity. Recent results provide compelling new evidence for this from an arctic-alpine ecosystem. 相似文献

Abundance and body size of zooplanktonic organisms, testate amoebae, rotifers, cladocerans and copepods from the littoral and pelagic regions of three lakes were analyzed in February and August 2000. The lakes belong to three different river systems (Baía, Ivinhema and Paraná rivers) of the upper River Paraná floodplain. It was expected that average body size was different in space (regions of the lake and limnological characteristics) and time (summer and winter) because the variation of depth, pH, oxygen dissolved, chlorophyll-a and water temperature of each lake. Zooplankton community was represented by 119 species. Sorensen's coefficient showed that the three communities were similar. Larger organisms were found in the lakes' pelagic region, and seasonally larger individuals were registered in the winter and smaller individuals in the summer. The relationship between body size and density was slight, positively significant. The body size frequency distribution was bi-modal. ANOVA results showed a significant influence of the interaction of the littoral and pelagic regions, lakes, and seasons in the body size of zooplankton organisms. Spatial and temporal changes of the community size structure of zooplanktonic assemblages were related to the food resource (microbial-loop or herbivore chain), species habitat preference and life strategies (growth and reproduction). 相似文献

Community Based Fisheries Management and Fisher Livelihoods: Bangladesh Case Studies 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Poor fishers in Bangladesh have been disadvantaged by policies that favored powerful people leasing fishing rights. Community-based
management was expected to improve fisher access, livelihoods, and the sustainability of fisheries. The impacts of community
management in three floodplain waterbodies differed according to the environment and property rights. Where a set of fishers
jointly held exclusive rights to a small enclosed lake they increased production by stocking fish and shared the returns.
This strategy is productive but attracts competition for profits and fish consumption was unchanged. Access to capture fisheries
in floodplain waterbodies enables the poor to catch diverse small fish for their consumption. Yet sustainability requires
limits on fishing. Fish sanctuaries were respected, yet catches per day fell when more people from several villages increased
fishing effort in a large wetland, while a tightly knit community restored the fishery in a smaller floodplain. Community
organizations will need recognition of their long-term use rights to overcome future threats.

Community Attachment: The Complexity and Consequence of the Natural Environment Facet 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Joan M. Brehm 《Human ecology: an interdisciplinary journal》2007,35(4):477-488
The primary objective of this paper is to examine more closely the complex nature of the natural environment dimension of
community attachment using the narratives of local community members. This work seeks to build and elaborate on previous quantitative
analyses that demonstrated two distinct dimensions of community attachment––social and natural environment. The findings reveal
several distinct facets of the natural environment dimension of community attachment and demonstrate both a discreet perception
of the natural environment in terms of community attachment as well as one that is more embedded within the social context
of a particular lifestyle. The findings further demonstrate the need to include consideration of the natural environment in
the broader assessment of community attachment and bolster previous quantitative research findings.

The challenge for those responsible for funding, brokering and assessing the merit of proposed Indigenous research is to identify and then work co-operatively with appropriate representatives of Indigenous interests in order to increase the flow of benefits from research to Indigenous peoples. Experience in Australia has shown that this is not a straightforward process. In this paper we indicate some reasons why it is important for the research community to broker research with representative Indigenous organisations and to involve Indigenous peoples in the ethical assessment and conduct of research. We then identify some barriers to the achievement of these objectives and outline recently developed interventions from the field of health research that aim to promote a more effective working relationship between Indigenous peoples and members of the research community.

Risk communication involves three primary elements: process, content and intent. Much has been written about the first two.
Much is known, for example, about the guiding principles that should be considered during the design of a risk communication.
Likewise, many studies have been conducted about how best to establish the technical and informational content of a risk communication.
Very little attention, by contrast, has been devoted to the intent of risk communication, which is to inform decision making
for risk management. While appropriate information upon which to base risk management decisions is important, so to is an
understanding of how people instinctively approach decision making under conditions of risk. Work in the decision sciences
provides this often-missing perspective for many risk communication efforts and is, therefore, the focus of this paper.

This paper is an attempt to combine the results and conclusions of two independently designed research projects, in order
to achieve a more complete understanding of the degree of exploitation of living marine resources by a small Tongan coastal
fishing community. Results of a socioeconomic resource-driven survey and an anthropological study adopting a commons dilemma
approach, agree substantially on the impact of tradition and changes, but disagree with regard to the driving forces. The
socioeconomic study argues that dynamics between traditional and modern economic values best explain the state of the community’s
coastal fisheries; while the anthropological study argues that social values and obligations still determine to a great extent
the goals people pursue with their economic activities. Current fishing pressure, the marine tenure system, and present and
future marketing potentials are all factors which may result in conflict between the traditional Tongan system and the modern
cash-based, remittance sustained system. These will ultimately affect the current and future status of coastal resources and
the social cohesion of the community.

Studies on the effects of a variety of exogenous and anthropogenic environmental factors, including endocrine disruptors,
heavy metals, UV light, high temperature, and others, on marine organisms have been presented at the 2nd Bilateral Seminar
Italy–Japan held in November 2006. Reports were discussed in order to reveal the current situation of marine ecosystems, aiming
at evaluation and prediction of environmental risks.

In the United States, the racial and ethnic statistics published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) assume
that each member of the U.S. population has a race and ethnicity and that if a member is black or white with respect to his
risk of one disease, he is the same race with respect to his risk of another. Such an assumption is mistaken. Race and ethnicity
are taken by the NCHS to be an intrinsic property of members of a population, when they should be taken to depend on interest.
The actual or underlying race or ethnicity of members of a population depends on the risk whose variation within the population
we wish to describe or explain.

Does Investment in the Sexes Differ When Fathers Are Absent? 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Mhairi A. Gibson 《Human nature (Hawthorne, N.Y.)》2008,19(3):263-276
This study examines child survival and growth in a patrilineal Ethiopian community as a function of father absence and sex.
In line with evolutionary predictions for sex-biased parental investment, the absence of a father and associated constraints
on household resources is more detrimental for sons’ than daughters’ survival in infancy. Father absence doubles a son’s risk
of dying in infancy but has a positive influence on the well-being of female members of the household, improving daughter
survival, growth, and maternal nutritional status. Lack of paternal investment may be compensated for by other matrilateral
kin through increased reciprocity between mother, daughter, and sister.
