The Impact

ABSTRACTRecurrent honeybee losses make it critical to understand the impact of human interventions, such as antibiotic use in apiculture. Antibiotics are used to prevent or treat bacterial infections in colonies. However, little is known about their effects on honeybee development. We studied the effect of two commercial beekeeping antibiotics on the bee physiology and behavior throughout development. Our results show that antibiotic treatments have an effect on amount of lipids and rate of behavioral development. Lipid amount in treated bees was higher than those not treated. Also, the timing of antibiotic treatment had distinct effects for the age of onset of behaviors, starting with cleaning, then nursing and lastly foraging. Bees treated during larva-pupa stages demonstrated an accelerated behavioral development and loss of lipids, while bees treated from larva to adulthood had a delay in behavioral development and loss of lipids. The effects were shared across the two antibiotics tested, TerramycinR (oxytetracycline) and TylanR (tylosin tartrate). These effects of antibiotic treatments suggest a role of microbiota in the interaction between the fat body and brain that is important for honeybee behavioral development.This paper has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the article.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to provide an interpretation of why behavioral economics has come into the complex field of development economics that draws on insights from methodology of economics. We engage in an extensive survey of the literature that focuses on the actual practice of “behavioral development economics and behavioral economics view of poverty” that emerged in the early years of the 21st century in order to identify and discuss some directions and implications that this movement might carry for economics science and art of Economics.

The Impact

This paper examines the potential benefit of developing children’s mental capacities through art (painting, music, crafts, and visual perception). The paper shows that art can be properly used with different age groups. The art work of 11 year old children can be analyzed to discover their intellectual capacities and psychological traits. The study recommends that parents and educators study the problems that face Arab children in general and Omani children in particular through the use of arts. This paper also looks into the various ways of developing cognitive and practical skills of special needs students and how to communicate with them through arts and through the modes of communication these children use to interact with the world. The study also investigates the possibility of performing some of these arts according to the type of disability. The study is based on the main international academic models used in this area to enhance children’s artistic abilities. The paper highlights the psychological stages children go through and the impact on these children’s mental, educational and behavioral development. The problems that some children face should be properly dealt with through providing such children with training in various types of arts under the supervision of a specialist.

Socioeconomic Risk

ABSTRACTPsychosocial environments impact normative behavioral development in children, increasing the risk of problem behaviors and psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. Converging evidence demonstrates early normative development is affected by the gut microbiome, which itself can be altered by early psychosocial environments. Nevertheless, these relationships are poorly understood in childhood, particularly beyond peri- and postnatal microbial colonization. To determine the gut microbiome’s role in the associations between childhood adversity and behavioral development, we conducted a metagenomic investigation among cross-sectional sample of early school-aged children with a range of adverse experiences and caregiver stressors and relationships. Our results indicate that the taxonomic and functional composition of the gut microbiome links to behavioral dysregulation during a critical period of child development. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that both socioeconomic risk exposure and child behaviors associate with the relative abundances of specific taxa (e.g., Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium species) as well as functional modules encoded in their genomes (e.g., monoamine metabolism) that have been linked to cognition and health. We also identified heretofore novel linkages between gut microbiota, their functions, and behavior. These findings hold important translational implications for developmental psychology and microbiome sciences alike, as they suggest that caregiver behavior might mitigate the impact of socioeconomic risk on the microbiome and modify the relationship between subclinical symptoms of behavioral dysregulation and the gut microbiome in early school-aged children.

The Impact

Despite the fact that Central Government indirect taxes make up approxi¬mately three-fourths of the combined revenue of the Central and Provincial Governments in Pakistan, virtually no detailed studies of these taxes and their rate structure, revenue structure, effect on prices, and effect on resource allocation, have been undertaken as yet. This paper summarizes some of the preli¬minary findings of one part of the studies on taxation now underway at the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics. A companion piece on the rate structure of these taxes appears in this issue of the Review. Further analysis is necessary, however, both in combining the results of these two studies and in bringing to bear other evidence such as price behaviour, underlying commo¬dity flows, and the impact of the various licensing systems in operation in Pakistan, before any firm conclusions about the impact of indirect taxes, ttieir elasticity, and their incidence, can be formed.
