We conducted a change-detection analysis to determine if improvements in the habitat quality of coastal wetlands could be attributed to Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) of Lake Ontario. We used a 5-km buffer relative to each recent site to “resample” an existing database of spawning/nursery habitat from the early 1980s to derive a “historic” species list associated with thirteen representative wetlands sampled in 2001-2002. For each wetland, we calculated Wetland Fish Index (WFI) scores, which are relative measures of wetland quality having scores ranging from 1 to 5, indicating worst to best conditions, respectively. The mean WFI score of 3.16 for the recent era was significantly higher than that for the historic era of 2.79 (Wilcoxon sign-rank test; P=.04), and this is consistent with the conclusion that lakewide RAPs have been effective in recovering some of the ecological functions of degraded coastal wetlands of Lake Ontario.

Consumers' awareness of halal cosmetics is still low. The high level of dependence on a product and the lack of consumer knowledge of cosmetic ingredients makes it difficult for consumers to switch to cosmetic products that are halal certified. Minimal education that is easily accessible regarding the halalness of a cosmetic product among the community is a problem that results in the lack of awareness of halal. This study aims to obtain information about the effect of halal education on knowledge and attitudes in the use of cosmetics. The method used in this study is an experimental design with a sample size of 30 respondents who are active users of cosmetics both labeled halal and not labeled halal. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. Data on the knowledge and halal attitudes of respondents before and after education were obtained from filling out questionnaires which were carried out online. The data analysis technique used was the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test using SPSS 16. The results of the respondents' research indicated that there were significant differences in their knowledge and attitudes towards the use of cosmetics before and after halal education with p value ≤ 0.05.
