Abstract

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is amongst the most frequently used methodologies to identify and evaluate the environmental impacts of the circular supply chain configurations. This article aims to showcase how a socio‐material perspective can increase the embeddedness of such an assessment within inter‐firm networks. A comparative LCA of two circular product systems is conducted, namely single‐use and reusable tableware within a canteen located in northern Italy. To contextualise the LCA, the Actor Network Theory (ANT) is used as an epistemological lens to identify the framing and problematisation of bioplastics in Italy, as well as the power constellation of actors affecting the bioplastics life cycle. The ANT complements the LCA in three ways: firstly, it informs the end‐of‐life modelling of the product systems away from public narratives to the actual waste management practices and secondly, it contextualises the interpretation of the LCA results—in favour of the reuse system—with the socio‐technical factors in Italy. Finally, the socio‐material perspective allows for a discussion on the performative role of LCA in the light of its increasing popularity in the public and private sectors and on its potential to guide more sustainable production and consumption patterns.

Abstract

Simple Summary: Fireflies are a fascinating family of bioluminescent beetles with diverse lifestyles and behaviors. This review summarizes new findings on their taxonomic and ecological diversity, then describes recent global efforts to identify and protect the most threatened firefly species. The major threats that can lead to population declines and extinctions include: loss and degradation of the habitats necessary to sustain their entire life cycle; artificial light that disrupts courtship communication; overuse of broad-spectrum insecticides for pest and mosquito control; overtourism; drought and sea level rise caused by climate change. Certain risk factors can help predict which species are likely to be most vulnerable to each threat. The IUCN SSC Firefly Specialist Group is an international effort launched in 2018 to identify which species face the greatest risks of global extinction and to devise strategies to help protect them. So far, standard IUCN Red List criteria have been used to evaluate the conservation status of 150 different fireflies, including the majority of those living in the US and Canada. While these assessments are not a random sample and represent under 7% of global firefly species, about 20% of those assessed to date face heightened extinction risks. Scarcity of information is a problem for many firefly species, although recent surveys and community science projects have contributed valuable new data. The review concludes by describing conservation initiatives underway at local, regional and national levels to protect and manage key habitat for threatened fireflies and identifying high-priority actions for future conservation efforts. Fireflies are a diverse group of bioluminescent beetles belonging to the family Lampyridae. Recent research on their diversity, evolution, behavior and conservation has greatly advanced our scientific understanding of these charismatic insects. In this review, we first summarize new discoveries about their taxonomic and ecological diversity, then focus on recent endeavors to identify and protect threatened fireflies around the world. We outline the main threats linked to recent population declines (habitat loss and degradation, light pollution, pesticide overuse, climate change and tourism) and describe relevant risk factors that predict which species will be particularly vulnerable to these threats. Although global coordination of firefly conservation efforts has begun only recently, considerable progress has already been made. We describe work by the IUCN SSC Firefly Specialist Group to identify species currently facing elevated extinction risks and to devise conservation strategies to protect them. To date, IUCN Red List assessments have been completed for 150 firefly taxa, about 20% of which face heightened extinction risks. The conservation status for many species has yet to be determined due to insufficient information, although targeted surveys and community science projects have contributed valuable new data. Finally, we highlight some examples of successful firefly habitat protection and restoration efforts, and we use the framework of the IUCN SSC Species Conservation Cycle to point out high-priority actions for future firefly conservation efforts.

Abstract

Severe outbreaks of black gill (BG), heavily melanized gills of crustaceans, have been reported in white (Litopenaeus setiferus) and brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus azlecus) from coastal Georgia and South Carolina during late summer and fall since the mid-1990s. The cause of this condition is an apostome ciliate that elicits the innate immune response of the shrimp, resulting in the formation of melanized nodules in shrimp gill tissue. In the absence of a definitive identification, the causative ciliate is referred to as the shrimp black gill (sBG) ciliate. During outbreaks, necrosis of gill tissue was often seen in microscopic sections; in some cases, there appeared to be penetration of the ciliate into gill tissue. Shrimp with BG exhibited reduced physical endurance and escape responses compared with shrimp without symptomatic BG. Physical impairment due to BG may contribute to higher predation rates and increased vulnerability to environmental conditions. The infection transmission rate of the sBG ciliate appears to be atypically low for apostome ciliates, raising the question of how epidemic levels of BG reoccur annually. Asymptomatic shrimp placed in direct contact with carcasses (heads) from BG symptomatic shrimp exhibited a significant increase in the development of BG symptoms after 7 days (P = 0.028), but waterborne transmission was not detected. A preliminary survey of sympatric crustacean species, including syntopic species of grass shrimp (Palaemonetes spp.), indicated the possible presence of the sBG ciliate, suggesting that other crustacean species may serve as infection reservoirs. These studies support the conclusion that BG is negatively impacting the penaeid shrimp fishery and highlight the challenges that remain in understanding and managing the ongoing sBG epidemic in the southeastern United States. KEY WORDS: penaeid shrimp, apostome ciliate, black gill, pathology, South Atlantic Bight, INTRODUCTION Penaeid shrimp, including Litopenaeus setiferus (white shrimp) and Farfantepenaeus aztecus (brown shrimp), support one of the most valuable commercial fisheries in the South Atlantic Bight (Gillet 2008), but since [...]

Abstract

Background: A popular antiseptic spray in Switzerland (Merfen spray), containing chlorhexidine digluconate, benzoxonium chloride and lauramine oxide, is frequently used to treat skin wounds. However, it is also increasingly reported as a major cause of adverse skin reactions, including allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Objectives: To investigate the contact allergens responsible for ACD from this antiseptic. Patients/Methods: Patch tests were performed on seven patients with a clinical history compatible with contact dermatitis from this antiseptic mixture. Results: All patients presented with acute eczematous reactions following contact with either Merfen spray alone, or with multiple products including this spray. Patients showed positive reactions to this product in both patch tests and repeated open application tests (ROATs). Four patients showed dose‐dependent reactions to both benzoxonium chloride and lauramine oxide. One patient showed a dose‐dependent reaction to the former and a non‐dose‐dependent reaction to the latter. Finally, two subjects showed responses only to lauramine oxide. One patient reacted to chlorhexidine digluconate 0.5% aq. in addition to both other allergens. Conclusions: Two commercially unavailable allergens, that is, benzoxonium chloride and/or lauramine oxide were identified as major causes of ACD from Merfen antiseptic spray, whereas chlorhexidine digluconate was a contributing culprit in only one patient.

Abstract

Background: Patients with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS‐C) often experience severe symptoms. The current aim was to evaluate plecanatide in adults with CIC or IBS‐C with severe constipation. Methods: Data were analyzed post hoc from randomized, placebo‐controlled trials (CIC [n = 2], IBS‐C [n = 2]) of plecanatide 3 mg, 6 mg, or placebo administered for 12 weeks. Severe constipation was defined as no complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBMs) and an average straining score ≥3.0 (CIC; 5‐point scale) or ≥8.0 (IBS‐C; 11‐point scale) during a 2‐week screening. Primary efficacy endpoints were durable overall CSBM responders (CIC: ≥3 CSBMs/week, plus increase from baseline of ≥1 CSBM/week, for ≥9 of 12 weeks, including ≥3 of the last 4 weeks) and overall responders (IBS‐C: ≥30% reduction from baseline in abdominal pain and ≥1 CSBM/week increase for ≥6 of 12 weeks). Key Results: Severe constipation was observed in 24.5% (646/2639) and 24.2% (527/2176) of CIC and IBS‐C populations, respectively. The CIC durable overall CSBM response rate (plecanatide 3 mg, 20.9%; plecanatide 6 mg, 20.2%; placebo, 11.3%) and IBS‐C overall response rate (plecanatide 3 mg, 33.0%; plecanatide 6 mg, 31.0%; placebo, 19.0%) were significantly greater with plecanatide versus placebo (p ≤ 0.01 for all). Median time to first CSBM in CIC and IBS‐C populations were significantly shorter with plecanatide 3 mg versus placebo (p = 0.01 for both). Conclusions and Inferences: Plecanatide was effective in the treatment of severe constipation in adults with CIC or IBS‐C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Circular economy (CE) is becoming an increasingly mandatory material issue within corporate sustainability reporting, however, what remains unaddressed within literature are the perspectives and capacities of the companies which must soon adapt to meet the evolving reporting requirements. This research aims to capture insights from companies engaged with CE in order to develop recommendations that support the integration of CE within corporate sustainability reports. To do this, a series of semi‐structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with companies operating in Italy or the Netherlands, not limited by sector. The results provide a list of challenges experienced‐ and benefits gained‐ by companies from externally communicating CE. Companies are urged to consider not only risks associated with staying in the linear economy but also those associated with the implementation of new circular practices, to communicate potential sustainability trade‐offs and reduce potential claims of CE‐related greenwashing. Practical recommendations are offered for developing targets and indicators for CE as well as identifying and reporting CE‐specific risks and opportunities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The use of life cycle‐based assessment has been defined a crucial microfoundation to implement circular business models from a dynamic capabilities perspective. Through a case study of a multi‐national packaging corporation in the plastics sector, the application of an industry‐developed circularity assessment, the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI), is analysed in two manufacturing locations (Italy and China). The aim is to identify how this life cycle‐based assessment can amplify the company's capability to sense, seize and reconfigure its resources. Data were collected from a company placement, interviews, and sustainability reports. The CTI mainly contributed to the sensing microfoundations concerning the company's life cycle‐based perspective and the use of environmental management tools. It also proved to complement existing life cycle‐based approaches because it does not identify sustainability impacts, but only captures material flows. Furthermore, the results showed how the CTI implementation benefitted from existing microfoundations, such as the strategic collaboration with knowledge partners and previously collected sustainability and process efficiency data. Finally, it was also discussed for which microfoundations the CTI results could be most useful: to improve internal resource management processes and to support external circularity pledges. This paper contributes an empirical example to connect dynamic capabilities with life cycle management literature in a circular economy context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Heavily melanized gills in crustaceans, often referred to as black gill, have been reported in both wild and cultured marine species. Tissue melanization is generally the result of a response of the crustacean innate immune system to the presence of an irritant or pathogen. While black gill can be caused by a variety of abiotic stressors and nutritional deficiencies, biotic agents are the cause of most reported black gill cases in crustaceans. In high density culture systems, fungi are identified as the most common causes of black gill outbreaks. In the wild, epidemic-scale outbreaks of black gill appear largely to be caused by ciliate rather than fungal infections. Black gill epidemics caused by ciliates have recently been reported in two commercially important fishery species including penaeid shrimp in the South Atlantic Bight USA (Western North Atlantic) and the Gulf of Mexico, and in pandalid shrimp in the Gulf of Maine, USA. Here we review the reports of the occurrence, causative agents, biology, ecology, and impacts of black gill on wild crustacean species of black gill with special focus on the pandalid shrimp species Pandalus borealis parasitized by the apostome ciliate Synophrya sp. and penaeid shrimp in the Western North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico parasitized by a newly described apostome ciliate species Hyalophysa lynni. A review of the literature reveals large knowledge gaps with respect to black gill in both commercially exploited and other keystone crustacean species. Recommendations for future research include improved surveillance and identification of causative agents of black gill, improved understanding of their interactions with crustacean hosts including distribution, transmission, morbidity, and mortality, epidemiology, molecular biology, and relationship with climate.

Abstract

An emerging research area is dedicated to developing approaches for assessing the 'circularity' of companies and their products, within the context of sustainability goals. However, empirical evidence on the uptake of these assessment approaches remains scarce. Using a purposive sampling, we conducted a survey receiving 155 responses and held 43 semi‐structured interviews with Dutch and Italian companies active in circular economy (CE), pursuing three research aims: to explore the use of CE and sustainability assessment approaches; to study the process of developing assessment approaches; and to uncover benefits of—and barriers to—CE assessment. While we find high variability of assessment approaches, most often, companies develop tailor‐made sustainability indicators and apply life cycle assessments to CE strategies. Importantly, assessment development for CE practices requires and facilitates collaboration with external stakeholders. Finally, we reflect on the paradox of standardisation versus tailoring of assessment approaches within the CE reality and recommend establishing company needs and capabilities before designing assessment approaches.

Abstract

Fireflies are a family of charismatic beetles known for their bioluminescent signals. Recent anecdotal reports suggest that firefly populations in North America may be in decline. However, prior to this work, no studies have undertaken a systematic compilation of geographic distribution, habitat specificity, and threats facing North American fireflies. To better understand their extinction risks, we conducted baseline assessments according to the categories and criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List for 132 species from the United States and Canada (approximately 79% of described species in the region). We found at least 18 species (14%) are threatened with extinction (e.g. categorized as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable) due to various pressures, including habitat loss, light pollution, and climate change (sea level rise and drought). In addition, more than half of the species (53%) could not be evaluated against the assessment criteria due to insufficient data, highlighting the need for further study. Future research and conservation efforts should prioritize monitoring and protecting populations of at-risk species, preserving and restoring habitat, gathering data on population trends, and filling critical information gaps for data deficient species suspected to be at risk.

Abstract

Abstract Background Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a significant human pathogen responsible for respiratory tract infections and the most common cause of recurrent otitis media. Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic elements that code for a stable protein toxin and a labile antitoxin that are thought to be involved in metabolic regulation of bacteria by enabling a switch to a dormant state under stress conditions. The contribution to infection persistence of the NTHi TA loci vapBC-1 and vapXD was examined in this study. Results Deletions in vapBC-1, vapXD and vapBC-1 vapXD significantly decreased the survival of NTHi co-cultured with primary human respiratory tissue at the air-liquid interface and in the chinchilla model of otitis media. The TA deletions did not affect the growth dynamics of the mutants in rich media, their ultra-structural morphology, or display appreciable synergy during NTHi infections. The toxin and antitoxin proteins of both pairs heterodimerized in vivo. Consistent with our previous findings regarding the VapC-1 toxin, the NTHi VapD toxin also displayed ribonuclease activity. Conclusions We conclude that the vapBC-1 and vapXD TA loci enhance NTHi survival and virulence during infection in vitro and in vivo using a mechanism of mRNA cleavage, and that these conserved TA pairs represent new targets for the prophylaxis and therapy of otitis media and other NTHi-caused mucosal diseases.

Abstract

In July 2016, the diabetes multidisciplinary team at Bristol Children's Hospital started teaching level 3 carbohydrate counting to children and young people with very newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and their families to improve rates of carbohydrate counting and blood glucose levels. An audit was carried out to assess the impact of early education on carbohydrate counting. The proportion of those able to carbohydrate count by their first multidisciplinary team clinic appointment increased from 34% to 84%, despite a reduction in the duration between discharge and first follow-up appointment. The percentage achieving HbA1c <48 mmol/mol (6.5%) at 6 months increased from 25% to 64% and the mean HbA1c dropped from 56 mmol/mol (7.3%) to 45 mmol/mol (6.3%). Prioritising early level 3 carbohydrate counting education delivery by dietitians improves rates of carbohydrate counting and has a positive impact on glycaemic control in the months immediately after diagnosis.

Abstract

Graphical abstract Highlights • Black spot gill syndrome in Pandalus borealis is caused by the apostome ciliate Synophrya sp. • The ciliate infects the gill tissues and undergoes metamorphosis into histotrophic life stages. • Parasitization by Synophrya sp. leads to the formation of melanized nodules and the distinct gross pathology. • Synophrya sp. epizootics could contribute to decline of P. borealis in North Atlantic commercial fisheries. Abstract Black spot gill syndrome in the northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis , is caused by an apostome ciliate, Synophrya sp., found within the gill lamellae. Whole mount staining, thin section histology, electron microscopy, and molecular studies were carried out on infected gills. The Synophrya 18S rRNA from Pandalus borealis (Genbank accession no. KX906568) and from two portunid crab species, Achelous spinimanus (Genbank accession no. MH395150) and Achelous gibbesii (Genbank accession no. MH395151) was sequenced. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed the identity of these ciliates as apostomes. The 18S rRNA sequence recovered from P. borealis shared 95% nucleotide similarity with the sequences recovered from the portunid crab species suggesting that it is a different species of Synophrya. The invasive hypertrophont stages, with a distinctive macronuclear reticulum, ranged in size from 300 to 400 µm with as many as 5 large forms/mm2 of gill tissue. Histotrophic hypertrophont stages and hypertomont stages were observed in these studies. The presence of the parasite was linked to the formation of melanized nodules (up to 9 nodules/mm2 of gill tissue) by the host and in some cases to extensive necrosis. Other studies have reported Synophrya sp. infections in P. borealis from Greenland, Labrador and Newfoundland, but further studies are necessary to determine the prevalence of this parasite in the dense schools of northern shrimp in the North Atlantic. Questions remain as to the possibility of epizootics of this pathogen and its impact on northern shrimp populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
