    Abstract Background: Inappropriate needleless connector (NC) care is associated with device failure from catheter occlusion and patient blood stream infections (BSIs). This can be attributed to a lack of knowledge of connector designs and flushing, clamping, and syringe disconnection techniques. This study aimed to assess nurses' practice, knowledge, attitudes, and key influencers on appropriate care of NCs in an Australian facility and compare these with studies undertaken in the United States in 2011.
    Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was sent via email with a SurveyMonkey® link to all nurses working in clinical areas (total population sampling approach; approximately 1500 nurses), at an Australian hospital, in 2018. The survey was anonymous and open for 6 weeks. Analysis was with R software.
    Results: Response rate was approximately 19% (n = 283). Most (89%) of nurses stated that they clean NCs before each access. Only 25% correctly recognised the negative pressure NC, and 79% correctly identified the correct clamping and disconnection sequence. Positive pressure displacement devices were correctly identified by 44% of respondents, with 34% identifying the correct clamping and disconnecting technique. Nurses reported their behaviour was most influenced by local senior nurses.
    Conclusions: There remains a significant gap in nurses' knowledge of NC device types, as well as the correct clamping and syringe disconnection for both negative and positive displacement NCs. This survey reaffirms that senior nurses are the key influencers of nurses' adherence to best practice guidelines.

    Abstract In this report, we identify some of the key technical and political challenges currently facing the broader Chemical and Biological Weapon (CBW) regime- with a particular emphasis on major forthcoming diplomatic meetings. Most significantly the Ninth Review Conference of the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention (1972) (BTWC) which will take place in 2022 and preparations for the Fifth Review Conference of the Chemical Weapons Convention (1993) (CWC), expected in 2023. This report is an output of an ongoing project, designed to stimulate thinking and discussion about these issues, within relevant stakeholder communities. The report provides an introduction to this issue area for the general reader before surveying key issues and developing a series of practical policy suggestions for further consideration.

    Abstract To meet growing global food demand, producers are actively searching for ways tocrop yield. One way to boost yield is to reduce arthropod damage. However, insecticides are becoming less effective and can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Learning how to harness natural pest control is one way to reduce arthropod damage to crops and avoid adverse effects of insecticide use. Therefore, we examined the diets of two bat species that are likely to provide pest control services across the United States corn belt: the eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis) and the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus). We also show that primer choice can impact the diversity of taxa detected and resecent adavances in primer design can improve diet detection studies. Using new ANML primers to isolate prey DNA in fecal material, we found a more diverse diet than previously reported for both bat species. Big brown bats consumed an average of 16.2 species from 8.5 genera. Red bats consumed an average of 28.6 species from 15.8 genera. We found pest genera in 92 % of big brown bat samples and 94 % of red bat samples. For both bat species, approximately two pest genera were detected in each sample. Corn rootworms (Diabrotica), Cloverworms (Hypena), plant bugs (Lygus), wireworms (Melanotus), seed corn beetles (Stenolophus), and armyworms (Spodoptera) were the most frequently consumed agricultural pests. We confirm earlier studies that document beetles (Coleoptera) and moths (Lepidoptera) as the most common prey items of big brown and red bats, respectively. However, we also document a diverse diet for both bat species that includes many true bugs (Hemiptera). Because pest control services of big brown and red bats are not completely overlapped, we conclude that a diverse bat community is essential to maximize pest control services by bats.
