    Abstract The large parasitoid wasp genus Aleiodes Wesmael, 1838, (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Rogadinae) has a world-wide distribution and in the western Palaearctic region it forms a moderately prominent element of the braconid fauna. Despite the relatively large size and/or abundance of several species, and the frequency with which they are reared by lepidopterists, there are no reliable identification keys to the western Palaearctic species before the first part of this series was published. Both first authors assembled specimens from many collections and all available biological data for this revision during 40 years.The second author has reared many western European species of Aleiodes from their Lepidoptera hosts, and also received donations of specimens reared by a large number of lepidopterists.The third author analysed the molecular data assembled by him and the second author. Investigation of Aleiodes host ranges has also involved some experimentation using short-term cultures by the second author, and in some cases this has been motivated by, and crucial for, elucidating species-level taxonomy. In this second paper we give an illustrated key to the Aleiodes apicalis species group what are in general the larger and more conspicuous species. The biology, host associations and phenology are discussed for the keyed species and, in total, six new species are described and fourteen new synonyms are proposed

    Abstract The single-shot cross-correlation of the short optical pulses generated by two laser facilities is acquired using random quasi-phase-matching of the counter-propagating beams in a disordered ferroelectric crystal. Transverse sum-frequency generation of the two counter-propagating pulses at different central wavelengths yields their time-dependent background-free cross-correlation after spectral filtering. Their relative delay is directly determined on every shot from the measured cross-correlation, making it a simple diagnostic for jitter studies and temporal characterization.

    Abstract Abstract: Shaw, J, Gould, ZI, Oliver, JL, and Lloyd, RS. Twelve weeks of progressive resistance training positively improves physical fitness and golf swing performance in talented youth golfers. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-This aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week resistance training program in talented junior golfers. Eighteen talented youth golfers were pair matched by maturity status and handicap, and subsequently allocated to an experimental (EXP) or control group. During the 12-week intervention, both groups continued with their normal golf practice while the EXP group also completed a progressive twice-weekly resistance training program. At baseline, subjects performed multiple trials of an isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump, golf movement screen (GMS), and isometric plank hold. Club head speed (CHS) and carry distance for a 6-iron and driver were also measured using a commercial launch monitor. When controlled for maturity offset, there were significant (p < 0.05) interaction effects in favor of the EXP group for absolute (g = 1.29) and relative (g = 2.06) peak force for the IMTP, CMJ absolute (g = 0.73) and relative (g = 0.66) peak power, jump height (g = 1.05), modified reactive strength index (g = 1.30), lateral (g = 0.48-0.88) and horizontal jump distance (g = 1.20), and GMS total score (g = 1.07). Significant interaction effects were also reported in 6-iron and driver CHS and carry distance in favor of the EXP group (p < 0.05; g = 0.41-1.64). These findings indicate that twice-weekly resistance training in combination with regular golf practice can stimulate increases in measures of strength, power, and movement competency in youth golfers, which should contribute to enhanced golf swing performance.

    Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decisions were made differently. This included more prominent roles for specialties such as psychiatry and doctors in training. Concerns about inappropriate DNAR decisions led to anxiety for doctors, patients and the public. Positive outcomes may have included earlier and better-quality end-of life-discussions. However, COVID-19 exposed the need for support, training and guidance in this area for all doctors. It also highlighted the importance of effective public education about advanced care planning.

    Abstract Purpose: Many sports-related concussion (SRC) outcomes can be prevented by removing affected athletes and allowing return after full recovery. Diagnosing concussions on the side-line is challenging, as tools often rely on visual performance assessment. Since acute exercise can affect vision, it is vital to determine if exercise can mask potential brain injury if visual performance assessments are used. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a single bout of maximal aerobic exercise on acute visual performance.
    Methods: Eighty previously sedentary females were randomly assigned to an experimental group (N = 40) or control group (N = 40) and completed an identical visual task test battery. Two weeks later, participants returned to participate in the test battery, with the experimental group doing so immediately following a maximal treadmill exercise protocol.
    Results: Significant (P < 0.05) improvements were found in accommodation facility, saccadic eye movement, speed of recognition, peripheral awareness, and hand-eye coordination (P < 0.001 for all), but not in visual memory (P = 0.556). All visual tasks, barring visual memory, loaded onto a single factor and approximated the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) threshold value (RMSEA = 0.112 [90 %CI: 0.047-0.182]), and a significant large main effect was found on all factors as a universal visual task performance (P < 0.001; d = 1.01).
    Conclusion: This study shows that exercise can affect performance across multiple, but not all, visual tasks and should be utilised with caution in comprehensive side-line SRC assessments. Visual memory may be more stable to the effects of acute exercise and be considered for inclusion in side-line SRC assessments.

    Abstract Objectives: Fear of cancer recurring or progressing (FCR) is a concern reported by people living with cancer and caregivers alike. Whilst advances in survivor FCR have been made, less is known about caregiver FCR. As a result, measurement of caregiver FCR has relied on instruments developed for survivor populations. Findings from qualitative research indicate caregiver experiences of FCR differ. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a caregiver specific measure of FCR (CARE-FCR).
    Methods: Four-hundred and thirty-eight caregivers (56% female, M
    Results: EFA indicated a 3-factor structure: progression, recurrence, and communication. Evidence for convergent, divergent, and test-retest reliability was adequate. Internal consistency for the CARE-FCR was strong, overall Cronbach's α = 0.96 (progression = 0.94, recurrence = 0.92 and communication = 0.78).
    Conclusions: We present a theoretically informed and psychometrically robust measure of caregiver FCR. The CARE-FCR facilitates quantification of caregiver FCR, capturing unique aspects specific to this population.

    Abstract The Strait of Belle Isle (SBI) is an important pathway for water mass exchanges between the Labrador Shelf and the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL), particularly for transport toward the GSL. Seasonal and inter‐annual variability of transport in the SBI are examined using 15 years of moored acoustic Doppler current profiler data. Tidal currents are largely along strait and homogeneous with depth. Transports are toward the GSL on average, lowest (−1.0 ± 0.8 dSv) from April to July, and highest (−4.0 ± 1.1 dSv) from September to January. Averaged seasonal transports are usually within one standard deviation of previously published modeled values. The volume of winter Labrador Shelf water (LShW) entering the GSL is computed by transport integration and compares well with integrated volumes that meet LShW temperature‐salinity criteria during an annual March survey of the GSL. Integrating over the whole year showed that on average 649 ± 397 km³ enters the GSL after the March surveys are conducted, independently of the volume that has entered up to March; this addition represents on average about a third of the total volume. Annual volumes of LShW calculated from transport suggest that flow through the SBI accounts for 12%–18% of the GSL winter surface mixed layer. Cross‐strait current shear may affect transport integration values, but sea surface temperature data suggests this bias is limited to the summer. Corrections are empirically derived to account for cross‐strait shear in our transport calculation. The corrected time series suggests that the average transport may be flowing toward the Labrador Shelf in July (0.6 ± 1.0 CI [0.1 1.1] dSv).

    Abstract Socio-economic deprivation is associated with adverse maternal and childhood outcomes. Epidural analgesia, the gold standard for labour analgesia, may improve maternal well-being. We assessed the association of socio-economic status with utilisation of epidural analgesia and whether this differed when epidural analgesia was advisable for maternal safety. This was a population-based study of NHS data for all women in labour in Scotland between 1 January 2007 and 23 October 2020, excluding elective caesarean sections. Socio-economic status deciles were defined using the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. Medical conditions for which epidural analgesia is advisable for maternal safety (medical indications) and contraindications were defined according to national guidelines. Of 593,230 patients in labour, 131,521 (22.2%) received epidural analgesia. Those from the most deprived areas were 16% less likely to receive epidural analgesia than the most affluent (relative risk 0.84 [95%CI 0.82-0.85]), with the inter-decile mean change in receiving epidural analgesia estimated at -2% ([95%CI -2.2% to -1.7%]). Among the 21,219 deliveries with a documented medical indication for epidural analgesia, the socio-economic gradient persisted (relative risk 0.79 [95%CI 0.75-0.84], inter-decile mean change in receiving epidural analgesia -2.5% [95%CI -3.1% to -2.0%]). Women in the most deprived areas with a medical indication for epidural analgesia were still less likely (absolute risk 0.23 [95%CI 0.22-0.24]) to receive epidural analgesia than women from the most advantaged decile without a medical indication (absolute risk 0.25 [95%CI 0.24-0.25]). Socio-economic deprivation is associated with lower utilisation of epidural analgesia, even when epidural analgesia is advisable for maternal safety. Ensuring equitable access to an intervention that alleviates pain and potentially reduces adverse outcomes is crucial.
