Multidisciplinary Landscape Assessment Papua

Abstract

Conservation International (CI) supports a number of ongoing initiatives in the Mamberamo area of Papua. The principal aims are to strengthen biodiversity conservation and environmental management and facilitate the creation of a 'Mamberamo Biodiversity Conservation Corridor', which links currently established protected areas through strategically placed 'indigenous forest reserves'. Two primary requirements are 1) to find suitable means to allow local communities to participate in decision-making processes, and 2) capacity building of locally based researchers to assist in planning and developing this program. The MLA training reported here is designed to build capacity and assess options and opportunities within this context. The Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has developed methods for assessing 'what really matters' to communities living in tropical forest landscapes. Known as the Multidisciplinary Landscape Assessment or 'MLA' (see http://www.cifor.cgiar.org/mla), this approach enhances understanding amongst conservation and development practitioners, policy makers and forest communities. Information yielded through the MLA can identify where local communities' interests and priorities might converge (or conflict) with conservation and sustainable development goals. CIFOR's MLA methods have already been applied in Indonesia (East Kalimantan), Bolivia and Cameroon.Based on its focus on the Mamberamo, CI requested CIFOR to provide training in the MLA methods to a group of trainees selected by CI. These training activities, undertaken in three phases including a month-long field survey in two villages in the Mamberamo (Papasena-I and Kwerba) and the trainees initial efforts to summarize and evaluate the resulting data, are the main subjects of this report.

Rhipicephalus sanguineus Infestation with Ehrlichiosis in Shitzu-Pomeranian Crossbred Dogs Treated using Red Fermented Rice: A Case Report

“…This antibiotic has a broad spectrum from the tetracycline group and has active intracellular penetration and bacteriostatic properties against Ehrlichia sp. Doxycycline is able to inhibit protein synthesis by interfering with the attachment of aminoacyl t-RNA to bacterial ribosomes (Mo et al, 2019). In addition, this antibiotic has an inhibitory effect on apicomplexan protozoa by targeting the apicoplast which makes it impossible for the According to Fourie et al (2015), the Doxycycline administration for 28 days was proven to be effective in eliminating morulae that infect dogs.…”

Re-tear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can be predicted using deep learning algorithm

“…Preoperative imaging also had important reference value (Saccomanno et al, 2015), but we could not match the data and images for the large number of cases. Other factors that have been reported to affect re-tear after ARCR include hyperlipidemia, smoking history, age, gender, preoperative symptoms, and affected limb (Robinson et al, 2013;Namdari et al, 2014;Garcia et al, 2017;Park et al, 2018;França et al, 2021;Kim et al, 2021), but few studies have systematically examined routine laboratory tests before surgery. We hypothesized that these data could reflect the patient's physical condition over time and influence rotator cuff healing.…”

Advanced materials for triboelectric nanogenerator

“…Numerous efforts have been made to improve the dielectric constant of tribo-material, relevant studies from 2020 and before are presented in the review [30]. This article focuses on relevant work from 2021 onwards.…”
