Management And Conservation

Understanding biodiversity change and addressing questions in freshwater management and conservation requires access to biodiversity data and information. Unfortunately, large, comprehensive data sources on freshwater ecology and biodiversity are largely lacking. In this chapter, we explain how to take advantage of secondary data and improve data availability for supporting freshwater ecology research and biodiversity conservation. We emphasise the importance of secondary data, give an overview of existing databases (e.g., taxonomy, molecular or occurrence databases), discuss problems in understanding and caveats when using such data, and explain the need to make primary data publicly available.

Identification and mapping of grave yard park in Denpasar City based on GIS technology. Bali as a garden island consists of several types of parks, one of which is Setra Park. In Bali there are 1,488 indigenous villages/pakraman. Each traditional village has at least one grave, and some have two to three graves. Thus in Bali it is estimated that there are more than 1500 graves, but until now there is no exact data on the number and extent of the graves in Bali, as well as those in the City of Denpasar. This study aims to identification and find out at once mapped Setra Park in the city of Denpasar, Bali as the first step to compile the data base of Taman Setra in Bali Province as one of the national assets of Unitary State of Republic of Indonesia which has architectural, functional, aesthetic, and socio-religious-magical. This study used the survey method with data retrieval technique with observation, interview, and questionnaire distribution to get primary data directly obtained in the field, as well as literature study to complete data or information not obtained in the field. As for mapping using GPS instruments (Global Positioning System) and QGIS software (Quantum Geography Information System). The collected data was followed by tabulation and then analyzed with Quickbird satellite image analysis in 2012 and QGIS 2010 to compile data base and at the same time making map of Taman Setra in Denpasar City. The result of this study shows that, all the parks in Denpasar have spatial layout based on mandala concept, namely: (1) Main mandala as head (ulu setra) in the form of Pura Prajapati building; (2) Madia mandala is a body (ragan setra) as a burial place corpse, arson, and pengabenan ceremony; (3) Nista mandala as foot (cokor/sor setra) area which functioned as garbage dump or rest of upakara. The total area varies from 0.07 to 8.90 Ha, with the land ownership status belonging to the respective village of pakraman, but only about 16.7% have been certified. The arrangement of the park is quite good and has multiple functions, as well as burial places, ceremonies, and other religious rituals also function as a park, a place to harvest rare plants, and at the same time have ecological functions as green open spaces are shady, comfortable, and interesting.

When most people hear the word Madagascar, images of animated dancing lemurs and quirky stranded penguins come to their minds. Although there is some truth in the movie’s description of that far-away, mysterious place, it fails to paint a complete picture of Madagascar as being rich in biodiversity and culture. Few places on earth rival the variety of endemic plants and animals that are found there. It is estimated that Madagascar has more genetic diversity per unit area than anywhere else on earth (Karsten, et al., 2009). This makes it “one of the world’s hottest hotspots for biodiversity conservation” (Consiglio, et al., 2006). Even though Madagascar is a biologically invaluable nation, it trails behind other ecologically notable countries, like Ecuador, in the conservation effort. Madagascar continues to suffer devastating loss to its precious habitats. The Madagascar government has the difficult task of preserving as much ecologically unique territory as it can, without depriving the already economically disadvantaged local people. Much international help is needed in providing support to the people and protection to the plants, animals, and natural resources of Madagascar.

Abstract Background: Artificial identification of rare plants is an important yet challenging problem in plant taxonomy. Although deep learning-based method can accurately predict rare plant category from training samples, accuracy requirements of only few experts are satisfied due to the small sample size. Thus, effective data augmentation is vital to improve the expressive power and robustness of deep learning models, especially for plant small-sample classification tasks. Different from traditional methods, a generative adversarial network (GAN) can mimic the distribution of primary data and produce similar but nonidentical samples. Data augmentation for automated classification of rare plant samples with GAN has not been studied for a long time. Result: In this study, we present a novel GAN model, referred to as residual Wasserstein GAN (Res-WGAN), for extending rare plant dataset efficiently. With a premise of minimized size of training parameters, residual block serves as elementary building block to increase the model’s expression ability. A loss function based on Wasserstein distance with gradient penalty is used to ensure diversity of output. Moreover, we draw on the super-resolution GAN (SRGAN) and consider perceptual loss into the function. Perceptual loss guarantees similarity between generated samples and original samples in high-dimensional features. Benefiting from these improvements, the expanded dataset improves the classification accuracy on the residual neural network (ResNet), a classic convolutional neural network, and restrains the overfitting phenomenon effectively by using transfer learning. More similar experiments are presented in this paper to prove the practicality of the model. Conclusions: Our proposed method produces better diversity and sharpness of generated samples and more accurate classification results than other data augmentation methods. In addition, a user study confirms that it is an ideal alternative strategy for small-scale rare plant identification. Developing a robust and effective small-scale plant classification method to replace expert testimony is highly relevant for agricultural automation development.

Abstract. Background: The German Guideline on Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders aims to increase the uptake of evidence-based interventions for the early identification, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of alcohol-related disorders in relevant healthcare settings. To date, dissemination has not been accompanied by a guideline implementation strategy. The aim of this study is to develop tailored guideline implementation strategies and to field-test these in relevant medical and psycho-social settings in the city of Bremen, Germany. Methods: The study will conduct an impact and needs assessment of healthcare provision for alcohol use orders in Bremen, drawing on a range of secondary and primary data to: evaluate existing healthcare services; model the potential impact of improved care on public health outcomes; and identify potential barriers and facilitators to implementing evidence-based guidelines. Community advisory boards will be established for the selection of single-component or multi-faceted guideline implementation strategies. The tailoring approach considers guideline, provider and organizational factors shaping implementation. In field tests quality outcome indicators of the delivery of evidence-based interventions will be evaluated accompanied by a process evaluation to examine patient, provider and organizational factors. Outlook: This project will support the translation of guideline recommendations for the identification, prevention and treatment of AUD in routine practice and therefore contributes to the reduction of alcohol-related burden in Germany. The project is running since October 2017 and will provide its main outcomes by end of 2020. Project results will be published in scientific journals and presented at national and international conferences.

Abstract. Which data to analyze, and how, are fundamental questions of all empirical research. As there are always numerous flexibilities in data-analytic decisions (a “garden of forking paths”), this poses perennial problems to all empirical research. Specification-curve analysis and multiverse analysis have recently been proposed as solutions to these issues. Building on the structural analogies between primary data analysis and meta-analysis, we transform and adapt these approaches to the meta-analytic level, in tandem with combinatorial meta-analysis. We explain the rationale of this idea, suggest descriptive and inferential statistical procedures, as well as graphical displays, provide code for meta-analytic practitioners to generate and use these, and present a fully worked real example from digit ratio (2D:4D) research, totaling 1,592 meta-analytic specifications. Specification-curve and multiverse meta-analysis holds promise to resolve conflicting meta-analyses, contested evidence, controversial empirical literatures, and polarized research, and to mitigate the associated detrimental effects of these phenomena on research progress.
