InsectChange: Comment by Gaume, Laurence, Desquilbet, Marion

“…We show that in more than half of the original studies, the factors investigated were experimentally manipulated or were strong -often not natural- disturbances. These internal drivers created situations more frequently favouring an increase than a decrease in insects and were unlikely to be representative of habitat conditions worldwide. …”

USING OF NEGATIVE WOUND PRESSURE THERAPY (NPWT): A CASE SERIES OF WOUND DISRUPTION AS A COMPLICATION OF A CAESAREAN SECTION by Herman Yosef Limpat Wihastyoko, Ellenora Resti Mustikaningrat, Dorothea Respa Kusumaningrat, Gisella Sekar Wruhastanti, Yohana Joni

“…An innovation where the use of VAC, which has a negative pressure function, can stimulate granulation tissue to form and can bind the edges of the  wound so that it can close naturally. Conclusion: In instances of wound disruption following surgery, such as in the case of a caesarean section, it may be prudent to contemplate re-debridement followed by re-suturing. …”

The Malthusian parameter and $R_0$ for heterogeneous populations in periodic environments by Hisashi Inaba

“…Since the classical stable population theory in demography by Sharpe and Lotka, the sign relation ${\rm sign}(\lambda_0)={\rm sign}(R_0-1)$ between the basic reproduction number $R_0$ and the Malthusian parameter (the intrinsic rate of natural increase) $\lambda_0$ has played a central role in population theory and its applications, because it connects individual's average reproductivity described by life cycle parameters to growth character of the whole population.Since $R_0$ is originally defined for linear population evolution process in a constant environment, it is an important extension if we could formulate the same kind of threshold principle for population growth in time-heterogeneous environments.…”
