we present rearing records of Eulophidae resulting from five years of collecting leafminers and other herbivorous insects throughout the United States. These include the first documented hosts for Chrysocharis beckeri Yoshimoto, C. minuta (hansson), Closterocerus damastes walker (identification tentative), Diaulinopsis albiscapus (girault), Elasmus borrowi girault, Neochrysocharis cyaneoviridis ha
The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, launched in 2021, aims to achieve seven societal outcomes, including equitable access to marine scientific data, knowledge, and technology. An accessible ocean can help to eradicate inequalities between the Global North and South, empowering countries with the necessary knowledge and means to make national and regional science
This article examines the State practice of thirty-one small island developing States (SIDS) in implementing the consent regime for marine scientific research (MSR) under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) from 2005 to 2020. By analysing domestic legislation and questionnaire responses from government officials, research vessel operators, and research institutes, the s
This article examines the practice of the Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) regarding the consent regime for marine scientific research (MSR), identifying trends in the interpretation and application of international law, and implementation gaps. The state practice analyzed is derived from domestic laws, regulations, and policy instruments, and from responses to questionnaires by sta
Ocean science is central in providing evidence for the implementation of the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention. The Convention’s provisions on transfer of marine technology to developing countries aim at strengthening scientific capabilities to promote equitable opportunities for these countries to exercise rights and obligations in managing the marine environment. Decades after the adoptio
Fitness for purpose of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) in the twenty-first century has been at the core of legal and political discussions. Such an inquiry is pertinent for small island developing States (SIDS), which have experienced first-hand the consequences of anthropogenic disturbances on the ocean. This study examines whether the provisions governing marine s
The completion of negotiations on capacity building and the transfer of marine technology (CBTMT) was a critical milestone that paved the way for the adoption of a historic new UN ocean treaty that was twenty years in the making. The CBTMT part is crucial to enable the effective and equitable implementation of this treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the two-thirds o
Recent policy shifts terminating programs and funding related to diversity, equity, and inclusion challenge the “leave no one behind” pledge at the core of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science. We urge the Ocean Decade to build capacity and resilience to safeguard its inclusivity commitments at forthcoming UN ocean events.
A full characterization of the boundedness of Laplace–Carleson embeddings on L∞ is provided, in terms of the Carleson intensity of the respective measure and of a suitable weighted Berezin transform of the measure. Moreover, boundedness results, and in some cases full characterizations of boundedness, are proved for a large class of Orlicz spaces. These findings are crucial for characterizing admi
The Tau Global Conference 2025, hosted by the Alzheimer's Association, CurePSP, and the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, convened international experts from academia, industry, government, and philanthropy to explore advances and challenges in tauopathy research. The meeting highlighted progress across tau biology, including emerging models of tau regulation, degradation, and propagation; advances
Marine multifunctionality, understood as the intentional combination of uses in the same marine space, is increasingly promoted in European policy, yet implementation remains uneven. This study asks which combinations of governance instruments have enabled the operationalisation of marine multifunctionality in Europe, and under what conditions. Using systematic review principles, we synthesise pee
As Sweden advances toward large-scale hydrogen production for industrial applications, low-grade waste heat (≈80 °C) from electrolyzers becomes available. A proposed solution is to integrate this heat between the two condensers in a combined heat and power plant. This can be done with different configurations, which were setup and studied. At full load, introducing 15 MW of heat increased electric
Background: Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems can experience challenges and negative health effects. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ own health-related experiences as their child with ADHD and sleep problems underwent a sleep intervention with a weighted blanket. Methods: A convergent mixed methods design was undertaken. Socio
Monitoring water quality of rivers is essential in establishing the level of human impact on freshwater ecosystem, in addition to natural variability. The physicochemical, nutritional, and microbiological parameters were studied under seasonal conditions at seven different sites of the river Yamuna upper. The main mechanisms that influence the water quality were determined using descriptive statis
Taxonomic profiling is a key component of ancient metagenomic analysis, however it is also susceptible to false-positive identifications. In particular, taxonomic classification tools from the Kraken family, such as Kraken2 and KrakenUniq, are highly sensitive to the choice of filtering options. To address this issue, various filtering approaches have been proposed. In this study, I conduct a comp
Rationale: Benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, and opioids can depress respiration, alter sleep, and potentially affect outcomes in individuals treated with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) for obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Objectives: To analyze the association of benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, and opioid use with hospitalization-free survival and mortality after s
