Abstract. Previous studies have proposed that potential vegetation in the Mediterranean maintained a wetter climate during the Roman Period until the initiation of large scale deforestation. The reduction in evapotranspirative fluxes associated with deforestation is suggested to have caused climatic aridification leading to the establishment of the present-day Mediterranean climate. There is also evidence to indicate that during the Roman Period Mediterranean climate was influenced by low frequency fluctuations in sea level pressure over the North Atlantic, termed here: the Centennial North Atlantic Oscillation (CNAO). In order to understand the importance of each of these mechanisms and disentangle their respective signals in the proxy record, we have employed an interdisciplinary approach that exploits a range of tools and data sources. An analysis of archaeological site distribution and historical texts demonstrate that climate did not increase in aridity since the Roman Period. Using an Earth system model of intermediate complexity prescribed with a reconstruction of ancient deforestation, we find that Mediterranean climate was insensitive to deforestation in the Late Holocene. A novel analysis of a composite of proxy indicators of climatic humidity depicts spatial and temporal patterns consistent with the CNAO. The link between the CNAO during the Roman Period and climatic humidity signals manifest in our composite analysis are demonstrated using a modelling approach. Finally, we present evidence indicating that fluctuations in the CNAO contributed to triggering a societal tipping point in the Eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Roman Period.

Any efforts to conduct a sustainable management of urban and natural landscapes benefit from an interdisciplinary approach and active collaboration between actors, thus increasing the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed actions. With the emergent transition of urban lighting to white LED technology, such shifts can bring a variety of negative effects to these environments, thus such actions should be applied taking into account as broad a knowledge set as available. These are often fragmented and incoherent thus in need of actions which unite them into usable and common tools. In the North Atlantic region of Macaronesia, a project has been implemented which uses the negative effects light pollution has on seabird populations as a base to effect changes in the regional lighting schemes, decreasing light pollution and increasing the sustainability of the current LED transition, improving practices and awareness, to the benefit of both seabirds and human populations alike.

Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.

Cancer Risk Reduction

Prophylactic mastectomy is an aggressive strategy for breast cancer risk reduction. The indications and efficiency of this procedures are not yet clearly defined. Randomized, prospective studies, comparing different surgical procedures with other modalities of breast cancer risk reduction are lacking. The report evaluates the existing controversy, based on Medline search in the following sequence: risk factors, possibilities of risk reduction, effectiveness of risk reduction, technical considerations and recommendations. Patient selection is difficult and needs an interdisciplinary approach. The women have to be well informed about all treatment alternatives and various reconstructive procedures. An appropriate risk reduction strategy should be selected individually for each patient. Up to now, there exist only recommendations from different institutions but no definitive guidelines.
