Abstract:
Several bacterial cultures: Bacillus licheniformis (MO1), B. pumilus (MO2), and B. amyloliquefaciens (MO3), isolated from manure; B. megatherium ZP6 (MO4) isolated from maize rhizosphere; Azotobacter chroococcum Ps1 (MO5) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (MO6), were used to test the influence of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on seed germination and germination rate of field dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunk.). Also, to examine the effect of host seeds on germination and initial growth of seedlings of field dodder plants in the dark and under white light, the seeds of four host plants were used (watermelon, red clover, alfalfa and sugar beet). Germinated seeds were counted daily over a ten-day period and the length of seedlings was measured on the final day. The results show that treatments MO3, MO4 and MO6 had inhibitory effects (15%, 65% and 52%, respectively), while treatments MO1, MO2 and MO5 had stimulating effects (3%, 3% and 19%, respectively) on seed germination of field dodder. The data for host seeds show that light was a significant initial factor (83-95%, control 95%) for stimulating seed germination of field dodder plants, apart from host presence (73-79%, control 80%).

Abstract:
No Mow May is a community science initiative popularized in recent years that encourages property owners to limit their lawn mowing practices during the month of May. The goal of No Mow May is to provide early season foraging resources for pollinators that emerge in the spring, especially in urban landscapes when few floral resources are available. We worked with the city council of Appleton, Wisconsin, USA. to allow No Mow May to take place in May 2020. Four hundred and thirty-five property owners registered for No Mow May in Appleton. We measured floral and bee richness and abundance in the yards of a subset of homes (N = 20) located near regularly mowed urban parks (N = 15) at the end of the month. We found that homes that participated in No Mow May had more diverse and abundant flora than regularly mowed green spaces throughout the city. No Mow May homes had three times higher bee richness and five times higher bee abundances than frequently mowed greenspaces. Using generalized linear models, we found that the best predictor of bee richness was the size of the designated unmowed area, and the best predictors of bee abundances were the size of the unmowed area as well as floral richness. While our findings cannot conclusively attribute increases in bee abundances and richness to the No Mow May efforts, our data does show that bee pollinators make use of no mow spaces as key floral resources during early spring in the upper midwestern United States. A post-No Mow May survey revealed that the participants were keen to increase native floral resources in their yards, increase native bee nesting habitat, reduce mowing intensities, and limit herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer applications to their lawns. The No Mow May initiative educated an engaged community on best practices to improve the conservation of urban pollinators in future years.

Abstract:
Abstract. The Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) is a dense water mass originated in the Strait of Gibraltar. Downstream of the Gulf of Cádiz, the MOW forms a reservoir region west of the Iberian continental slopes at a buoyant depth of approximately 1000 m. This region plays a key role as the main centre where the MOW is mixed and distributed into the North Atlantic. The seafloor in this area is characterized by the presence of a complex bathymetry with three abyssal plains separated by mountain chains. Although the topographic features do not reach the surface, they influence ocean flows at intermediate and deep ocean layers, conditioning the distribution and circulation of MOW. The Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Iberian–Biscay–Ireland (IBI) ocean reanalysis is used to provide a detailed view of the circulation and mixing processes of MOW near the Iberian and African continental slopes. This work emphasizes the relevance of the complex bathymetric features defining the circulation processes of MOW in this region. The high resolution of the IBI reanalysis allows us to make a description of the mesoscale features forced by the topography. The temperature, salinity, velocity, transport, and vorticity fields are analysed to understand the circulation patterns of MOW. The high-resolution circulation patterns reveal that Horseshoe Basin and the continental slope near Cape Ghir (a.k.a. Cap Rhir or Cabo de Aguer) are key areas controlling the mixing processes of MOW with the surrounding water masses, mainly North Atlantic Central Water (NACW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW). The water mass variability is also analysed by means of composite analysis. Results indicate the existence of a variability in the MOW tongue which retracts and expands westwards in opposition to the movement of the underlying North Atlantic Deep Water.

Abstract:
Purpose Over the course of time, more and more women have been joining the labor force, achieving meaningful roles and managerial positions. The purpose of this paper is to examine contemporary meaning of work (MOW) among men and women in different organizational statuses and the impact of other demographic factors on the MOW dimensions. Design/methodology/approach Out of 1,201 participants that filled out the MOW questioner, 908 were employed in organizations as middle managers (118 men and 67 women) or junior managers (120 men and 97 women) and workers (208 men and 298 women). Findings No differences were found between men and women middle managers regarding MOW dimensions. It was found that the higher the organizational status, the higher the work centrality and intrinsic orientation and the lower the economic orientation, among both men and women. Regression analysis reveals that demographic variables have a low impact on the MOW dimensions and hardly explain the differences among men and women. Practical implications The understanding of contemporary MOW similarities and differences among men and women according to organizational status and the impact of varied demographic variables on those differences can influence the way organizations consider men’s and women’s (both managers and workers) needs in their working life, with implications for their satisfaction and productivity. Originality/value While there are various studies about gender differences regarding work values and the MOW, not a single study focusing on the differences in the MOW between managers and workers according to gender was found.

Istnieje obawa, że podjęte w ośrodku działania resocjalizacyjne i wychowawcze zostaną zniweczone. Szansą na dobre funkcjonowanie jest udzielenie niezbędnej pomocy podczas tzw. procesu usamodzielniania, który przygotuje wychowanków do życia w społeczeństwie.

Abstract:
Background: Indonesia is expected to face a Demographic surge in 2025 so that the maternal mortality rate is at risk to follow. Steady contraception is needed to control the population growth rate. Women's Operative Method Contraception (MOW) is the most effective contraceptive tool in controlling the population growth rate. The use of MOW contraception in Dr, Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya still cannot be explained. Purpose: To know the spatial distribution of Women's Operative Method of Contraception in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya 2016 - 2019. Method: Retrospective study using medical record data, in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya 2016 – 2019. Results: Post-deliveries MOW contraception acceptor were 23.3% in 2016 (307 of 1320 deliveries), 29.9% in 2017 (405 of 1355 deliveries), 29.2% in 2018 (432 of 1479 deliveries) and 26, 7% in 2019 (413 of 1389 deliveries). The majority of patients aged over 35 years (72.2%), multiparous (98.6%). came from Surabaya (62.9%), non-booked case-patients (82.0%), and have an overweight BMI (45.2%). There are 55.7% of postpartum MOW acceptors with concomitant diseases. Hypertension and obesity are the highest ranks of comorbidities in the MOW contraception acceptor. Conclusion: Postpartum MOW contraception acceptor in RSUD dr. Soetomo has increased every year. But further evaluation and follow up regarding increasing the percentage of postpartum MOW contraception acceptor in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya is still very much needed.

Abstract:
Abstract Homebound vulnerable adults 65+ are at an increased risk for social isolation and loneliness. The adverse consequences of loneliness are profound – including increased health care utilization, burden of dementia, chronic diseases, and mortality. Meals on Wheels (MOW) is a familiar source of nutritional support for homebound individuals who wish to stay in their homes and has additional important benefits. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that MOW provides mental and social health benefits beyond nutrition, but less is known about the interplay between MOW, social cohesion, and health services use. This project will address this gap in the literature using data from the 2013-2020 National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), a nationally-representative panel study of 65+ Medicare enrollees. Using matching and longitudinal multivariate techniques, the risks of hospitalization and permanent nursing home entry are compared between MOW users and non-users. Our longitudinal dataset includes 11,266 observations. Of those, 12.8% rely on MOW or other food assistance (N= 1,488) and 16.6% experience low social cohesion (N= 1,936). Some 6.6% of participants are nursing home residents (N= 748) and the 39.1% report an overnight hospital stay in the prior year (N= 4,560). MOW is a comparatively low-cost intervention to help homebound older adults retain their independence and limit costlier healthcare utilization. This work extends our understanding of MOW services beyond simple nutrition benefits to its potential impact on social health.

Abstract:
AbstractPerennial pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium) is a potential threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function in the communities that it invades. The mechanism for its successful invasion of riparian and wetland environments includes reproduction via seed and root propagules and its ability to withstand long duration flooding and saline conditions once established. Controlling this species presents a number of challenges for land managers, including difficult property access, limited herbicide choice, and the varied success of weed control measures. In this study, we tested the efficacy of a nonchemical-modified tarp treatment, and compared posttreatment stem counts to herbicide treatments with Mow–glyphosate and chlorsulfuron in a wildland setting. We found that tarping applied in combination with a mow and till treatment was effective at controlling perennial pepperweed at levels similar to herbicide treatments with Mow–glyphosate and with Mow–chlorsulfuron. However, Mow–Till–Tarp treatment is extremely time consuming and has the potential to limit native plant community recovery.

Abstract:
Abstract Historical hydrographic data in the eastern North Atlantic are used to suggest a connection between the northward penetration of Mediterranean Overflow Water (MOW) and the location of the subpolar front, the latter of which is shown to vary with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). During persistent high-NAO periods, when the subpolar front moves eastward, waters in the subpolar gyre essentially block the northward-flowing MOW, preventing its entry into the subpolar gyre. Conversely, during low NAO periods, the subpolar front moves westward, allowing MOW to penetrate past Porcupine Bank into the subpolar gyre. The impacts of an intermittent penetration of MOW into the subpolar gyre, including the possible effect on water mass transformations, remain to be investigated.

Abstract. Gaining insights into the evolution of Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) during the Early Pleistocene has been so far hampered by the lack of available palaeoclimatic archives. Here we present the first benthic foraminifera stable oxygen and carbon isotope records and grain-size data from IODP Expedition 339 Site U1389 presently located within the upper core of the MOW in the Gulf of Cadiz for the time interval between 2.6 and 1.8 Ma. A comparison with an intermediate water mass record from the Mediterranean Sea strongly suggest an active MOW supplying Site U1389 on glacial–interglacial timescales during the Early Pleistocene. We also find indication that the increasing presence of MOW in the Gulf of Cadiz during the investigated time interval aligns with the progressive northward protrusion of Mediterranean sourced intermediate water masses into the North Atlantic, possibly modulating the intensification of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at the same time. Additionally, our results suggest that MOW flow strength was already governed by precession and semi-precession cyclicity during the Early Pleistocene against the background of glacial–interglacial variability.

Abstract:
Purpose: To investigate Edmonton Meals on Wheels (MOW) recipients’ food preferences and meal satisfaction. Methods: A preliminary study of 13 lunch club participants divided into two focus groups was conducted to determine overall themes in clients’ menu preferences and suggestions. A questionnaire was developed, based on previous MOW client comments, and delivered to all clients (n=271) receiving hot meal service from the Edmonton MOW program; 140 surveys (52% response rate) were returned. Results: The majority (72% to 88%) of hot meal clients were satisfied with the taste, texture, value, variety, and portion size of their meals. Popular menu items were barbecued chicken, perogies, and desserts. Up to 25% of participants indicated that meats were too tough and vegetables were too firm. Vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts were the most commonly disliked items. Conclusions: Overall, clients find the Edmonton MOW menu foods appealing and enjoyable. MOW programs should advertise the availability of texture-modified foods and offer a variety of vegetables. Meal services for the elderly must continue to monitor meal acceptance as client needs change with our aging population.

Abstract:
Mariculture organic waste (MOW) is rich in organic matter, which is a potential energy resource for anaerobic digestion. In order to enhance the anaerobic fermentation, the MOW was hydrolyzed by multi-enzyme and thermophilic bacteria. It was advantageous for soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) release at MOW concentrations of 6 and 10 g/L with multi-enzyme and thermophilic bacteria pretreatments. For multi-enzyme, the hydrolysis was not obvious at substrate concentrations of 1 and 3 g/L, and the protein and carbohydrate increased with hydrolysis time at substrate concentrations of 6 and 10 g/L. For thermophilic bacteria, the carbohydrate was first released at 2–4 h and then consumed, and the protein increased with hydrolysis time. The optimal enzyme hydrolysis for MOW was determined by measuring the changes of SCOD, protein, carbohydrate, ammonia and total phosphorus, and comparing with acid and alkaline pretreatments.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether the indices of the meaning of work (MOW) change over time. The study sample included mid-level managers, with measurements taken twice, in 2006/2007 and in 2017/2018. Design/methodology/approach This survey-based study was conducted in Poland, a country that went through significant socio-economic transformations in the past decade. The MOW instrument, developed by the MOW international research group, was used to measure absolute and relative work centrality, societal norms regarding work, valued work outcomes and the importance of various work goals. The hierarchical regression analysis method was used for hypotheses testing. Findings The study results show that there were no statistically significant changes in either absolute or relative work centrality over the studied decade. The family remained the highest-ranked value, ahead of work and leisure held the third place. The role of religion and community has remained largely unchanged, with these domains ranked significantly lower compared to work, family and leisure. An important finding was that the preference for job stability has significantly increased in the studied decade. At the same time, there was a marked growth in preference for flexible and convenient work hours. The study concludes with implications for future research and for human resource development (HRD) practice. Originality/value The study makes an important contribution to the MOW and HRD literature by demonstrating that the main indices of MOW, as measured by the MOW instrument, tend to remain unchanged despite socio-economic changes in the society.

Abstract. Late Miocene tectonic changes in Mediterranean–Atlantic connectivity and climatic changes caused Mediterranean salinity to fluctuate dramatically, including a ten-fold increase and near-freshening. Recent proxy- and model-based evidence suggests that at times during this Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC, 5.96–5.33 Ma), highly-saline and highly-fresh Mediterranean water flowed into the North Atlantic Ocean, whilst at others, no Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) reached the Atlantic. By running extreme, sensitivity-type experiments with a fully-coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation model, we investigate the potential of these various MSC MOW scenarios to impact global-scale climate. The simulations suggest that MOW had a greater influence on North Atlantic Ocean circulation and climate than it does today. We also find that depending on the presence, strength and salinity of MOW, the MSC could have been capable of cooling mid-high northern latitudes by more than 1.2 °C, with the greatest cooling taking place in the Labrador, Greenland–Iceland–Norwegian and Barents Seas. With hypersaline-MOW, a component of North Atlantic Deep Water formation shifts to the Mediterranean, strengthening the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) south of 35° N by 3–7 Sv. With hyposaline-MOW, AMOC completely shuts down, inducing a bipolar climate anomaly with strong cooling in the North (up to −10.5 °C) and weaker warming in the South (up to +2.5 °C). These simulations identify key target regions and climate variables for future proxy-reconstructions to provide the best and most robust test cases for (a) assessing Messinian model performance, (b) evaluating Mediterranean–Atlantic connectivity during the MSC and (c) establishing whether or not the MSC could ever have affected global-scale climate.

Abstract Deer forages on utility rights-of-way in South Carolina were subjected to six treatments: mow, mow-and-fertilize, burn, burn-and-fertilize, plant-and-fertilize, and control. The influence of these treatments on forage quality was compared seasonally over a 3 yr period. The quality of both native and introduced deer forages was significantly improved seasonally by addition of fertilizer. Planted forages were nutritionally superior to native and naturalized forages that occurred on the unplanted treatments. When the cost per treatment for production of crude protein was compared, the mow-and-fertilize treatment was the most economical. South. J. Appl. For. 17(1):49-53.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) spills from the Mediterranean Sea (east North Atlantic basin) west off the Strait of Gibraltar. As MOW outflows, it entrains eastern North Atlantic Central Waters (ENACW) and Intermediate Waters to form the neutrally buoyant Mediterranean Water (MW) that can be traced over the entire North Atlantic basin. Its high salinity content influences the thermohaline properties of the intermediate–deep water column in the North Atlantic and its dynamics. Here, the composition of MW in its source region (the Gulf of Cádiz, west off Strait of Gibraltar) is investigated on the basis of an optimum multiparameter analysis. The results obtained indicate that mixing of MOW (34.1% ± 0.3%) occurs mainly with overlying ENACW (57.1% ± 0.8%) in a process broadly known as central water entrainment. A diluted form (80% of dilution) of the Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) reaches the region and also takes part in MW formation (8.3% ± 0.5%). Finally, the underlying Labrador Sea Water (LSW) also contributes (0.4% ± 0.1%) to the characteristics of MW. From these results and considering 0.74 Sverdrups (Sv; 1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s−1) as the mean outflow of MOW, the MW exportation rate was inferred (2.2 Sv), which, decomposing MW, means that the MOW outflow is accompanied by 1.24 Sv of entrained ENACW, 0.18 Sv of AAIW, and <0.01 Sv of LSW.

Abstract:
Aims and Objectives: High tibial osteotomies (HTO) are nowadays an established method to treat unicompartmental, medial gonarthrosis. Common surgical HTO techniques include medial open wedge (MOW) and lateral closed wedge osteotomies (LCW). In addition to the intended change in the frontal plane these surgical techniques take influence on various other biomechanical issues of the knee joint e.g. the posterior tibial slope (PTS). Aim of this study was to rate and evaluate changes of the tibial slope by HTOs dependent on the used surgical technique (MOW versus LCW). Materials and Methods: 414 HTOs, that had been performed in our institution between 2004 and November 2018, were reviewed retrospectively. 135 cases were excluded. The included 279 cases from 247 patients were divided into two groups dependent on the used surgical technique (MOW/LCW). In both groups the values of PTS were defined by measuring the proximal posterior tibia angle (PPTA) on lateral x-rays of the knee from before and 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. The change of PTS was evaluated as delta-PPTA. Microsoft Excel was used for statistical analysis. Results: 279 cases were included: 190 were assigned to the group of MOW and 89 to the group of LCW osteotomies. Considering demographic data the MOW-group showed a gender distribution of 124 men/ 46 women in 93 left and 97 right knees, and the LCW-group of 46 men/43 women in 40 left and 49 right knees. The mean value of age in the MOW group was 47,6 +/- 10 years (15-70 years) and in the LCW-group 40,6+/-13,7 years (15-67 years). Before surgery there was no statistical significant difference in the PPTA-values between both groups (p=0,720): The mean PPTA in the MOW-group measured 79,9°+/-3,2° (68-88°), in the LCW-group 80,6°+/-2,6° (74-88°). The change caused by surgery showed no statistical significance in the MOW-group (delta-PPTA 0,07°+/- 2,9° [-12° bis 11°]). However, in the LCW-Gruppe we observed a significant (p<0,001) decrease of the PTS (delta-PPTA -3,09°+/- 4,5° [-12°bis 5°]). Nevertheless, the analysis of delta-PPTA in the LCW-group over the timeline of the study period showed tendencies of a decline of slope-reduction. Conclusion: As the PTS plays a relevant role in biomechanics of the knee joint a consideration of the impact of changes in PTS by HTOs is indispensable. Our results support the common thesis of a slope-reduction by LCW osteotomies but nevertheless the analysis throughout the study period showed a reduction of the slope-decrease over timeline. The common thesis of a slope-increase by MOW osteotomies was not supported by our results which showed no significant change.

Abstract:
Abstract A recent study of the eastern North Atlantic detailed significant increases in the temperature and salinity of the Mediterranean Overflow Water (MOW) from 1950 to 2000. To examine the degree to which the source waters, which spill over the sill at the Strait of Gibraltar, could be responsible for these observations in the open Atlantic, a box model of water mass transformation by marginal seas was employed. Time series for the salinity of the inflowing North Atlantic surface waters, freshwater fluxes in the Mediterranean (evaporation and precipitation and river runoff), and the volumetric flow rates for the inflow and outflow across the Strait of Gibraltar were used to predict the salinity of the source waters to the North Atlantic from 1950 to 2000. Results from this calculation reveal that source water changes have minimal impact on MOW property changes on interannual and decadal time scales. It is suggested instead that circulation changes within the open Atlantic alter the advective–diffusive pathways of MOW such that property changes within the MOW reservoir are created.

Abstract:
The heteronuclear MM quadruply bonded oxalate bridged compound [(t-BuCO2)3MoW]2(µ-C2O4) (I) has been prepared from the reaction between MoW(O2Ct-Bu)4 and oxalic acid and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy, and electrochemical studies. Single electron oxidation of I by reaction with Ag+PF6– leads to the formation of the kinetically labile radical cation I+, which has been characterized by UV-vis, NIR, and EPR spectroscopy. The latter results are compared with the properties of their related homonuclear Mo4- and W4-oxalate bridged compounds and their respective radical cations. The spectroscopic features of the related radical cations [(t-BuCO2)6MoxWy(µ-C2O4)]+, where x = 1, 2, 3 and y = 4 – x, are also described with the conclusion that the [(t-BuCO2)3Mo2(µ-C2O4)W2(O2Ct-Bu)3]+ and [(t-BuCO2)3Mo2(µ-C2O4)MoW (O2Ct-Bu)3]+ cations are valence trapped on the Robin and Day scheme for the classification of mixed valence compounds.Key words: molybdenum, tungsten, mixed valence.

Abstract:
<p>Municipal solid waste (MSW) management in developing countries is facing many challenges. Most MSW is disposed of in landfill areas that are uncontrolled and overloaded. Under budget constraints, the governments encourage residents in rural areas to treat municipal organic waste (MOW) by themselves. Evidence from Hoi An, Vietnam has shown the potential for residents practicing MOW treatment at the source which may divert large quantities of biodegradable waste away from landfills. Logistic regression analysis showed that various factors influence residents treating MOW by themselves, including the gender of the person in charge of waste management, household size, presence of garden, type of city collection methods, care of collectors, and participation in compost training. Several factors are largely insignificant, including age, household income, number of children less than 15 years old, schooling years, and potential for high collection fees in the near future. The results further suggested that local authorities should encourage residents to practice MOW treatment at the source by enhancing the role of local women’ groups, gardening clubs, composting training classes, and paying attention to communal collectors’ roles.</p>

Abstract:
Background and Objectives: Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs provide home-delivered meals to over 1.5 million older adults; yet, very little is known about the drivers who make meal deliveries possible. Specifically, we do not have clear insight into their interaction with clients or the benefits that they may receive through their service. The objective of this article is to describe the characteristics of MOW drivers, the interactions among drivers and clients, and the benefits of the program to both. Research Design and Method: This qualitative research study reports on interviews with 84 MOW staff (leadership, case managers/client assessors, volunteer coordinators) and drivers at six geographically and operationally distinct programs across the United States. Results: Qualitative analysis of the interviews with MOW staff and drivers revealed the following key themes: (a) clients have multiple vulnerabilities; (b) clients appear to derive social, as well as nutritional benefit from receiving meals; (c) drivers report they provide additional support to their clients beyond delivering the meal; (d) social bonds between drivers and clients were reported to strengthen over time; (e) drivers claim that they, too, derive validation and personal benefit through their meal delivery. Discussion and Implications: This research highlights the significant contributions that meal delivery drivers made in the lives of MOW clients beyond the actual meal itself. This research also spotlights the perceived benefits experienced by the drivers and points to the importance of conducting further research to determine the effects of meal delivery on client and drivers’ outcomes, more broadly.

Abstract Gathering stakeholder feedback is essential to designing and implementing relevant and actionable research. Additionally, stakeholders, particularly those directly impacted by an intervention, bring unique insights and experiences. This paper presents the process and findings of a research endeavor to co-design a pragmatic clinical trial with a Stakeholder Advisory Panel (SAP) in an effort to understand facilitators and barriers to conducting the research and implementing study findings. The proposed trial compares the impact of frozen, drop-shipped meals versus daily home-delivered meals provided by Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs on the ability of individuals living with dementia to age in place. We recruited nine SAP members, who were compensated for their time. The SAP is composed of a) MOW clients with dementia, b) family members of MOW clients with dementia, c) paid or volunteer MOW drivers, and d) MOW staff. A research team member facilitated two 90-minute meetings with the SAP members via Zoom. The topics of the meetings included potential benefits and challenges with each mode of meal delivery, the importance of the primary outcome (time to nursing home placement), topics of interest to include in interviews with clients and caregivers, and how participants would explain the study to a friend. Audio of the Zoom meetings was transcribed, and meeting summaries were shared with the SAP. Benefits of forming and engaging a SAP, as well as key lessons learned from SAP members and how recommendations were reflected in changes to the study protocol will be discussed.

Abstract. IODP Expedition 339 drilled five sites in the Gulf of Cadiz and two off the west Iberian margin (November 2011 to January 2012), and recovered 5.5 km of sediment cores with an average recovery of 86.4%. The Gulf of Cadiz was targeted for drilling as a key location for the investigation of Mediterranean outflow water (MOW) through the Gibraltar Gateway and its influence on global circulation and climate. It is also a prime area for understanding the effects of tectonic activity on evolution of the Gibraltar Gateway and on margin sedimentation. We penetrated into the Miocene at two different sites and established a strong signal of MOW in the sedimentary record of the Gulf of Cadiz, following the opening of the Gibraltar Gateway. Preliminary results show the initiation of contourite deposition at 4.2–4.5 Ma, although subsequent research will establish whether this dates the onset of MOW. The Pliocene succession, penetrated at four sites, shows low bottom current activity linked with a weak MOW. Significant widespread unconformities, present in all sites but with hiatuses of variable duration, are interpreted as a signal of intensified MOW, coupled with flow confinement. The Quaternary succession shows a much more pronounced phase of contourite drift development, with two periods of MOW intensification separated by a widespread unconformity. Following this, the final phase of drift evolution established the contourite depositional system (CDS) architecture we see today. There is a significant climate control on this evolution of MOW and bottom-current activity. However, from the closure of the Atlantic–Mediterranean gateways in Spain and Morocco just over 6 Ma and the opening of the Gibraltar Gateway at 5.3 Ma, there has been an even stronger tectonic control on margin development, downslope sediment transport and contourite drift evolution. The Gulf of Cadiz is the world's premier contourite laboratory and thus presents an ideal testing ground for the contourite paradigm. Further study of these contourites will allow us to resolve outstanding issues related to depositional processes, drift budgets, and recognition of fossil contourites in the ancient record on shore. The expedition also verified an enormous quantity and extensive distribution of contourite sands that are clean and well sorted. These represent a relatively untapped and important exploration target for potential oil and gas reservoirs.

Abstract:
An easy to apply multi-criteria technique is the Matrixes Of Weighing (MOW), but many of the professionals that use it, in their respective fields, do it in intuitive fashion. In this regard, applications are rarely reported in specialized literature, which explains how few references exist about them. One of the application areas for MOW is the handling of catastrophes, in particular the pre-catastrophe and post-catastrophe phases where a series of problems are usually handled which solution leads to a choice, which could be done by using multi-criteria techniques.The objective of this investigation is to present the MOW with multiplicative factors, and showing their application in the pre-catastrophe phase, when choosing possible shelters and in the post-catastrophe phase, by aiding to hierarchies which infrastructures to be recovered after a catastrophe.

Abstract:
The meeting of experts in Warsaw is one of the activities marking the 20th anniversary of the Memory of the World (MoW) program. The events started on 1 April and were held throughout 2012, including a MoW Exhibition at the UNESCO headquarters that focused on items that are listed on MoW Register (national, regional, and international) and an international conference held 26–28 September 2012 in Vancouver, Canada, on Memory of the World in the Digital Age: Digitization and Preservation. The challenges and solutions relating to the impact of the technological advances for the preservation and accessibility of the documentary heritage have occupied the attention of UNESCO for some time, culminating in the adoption of the Charter on the Preservation of the Digital Heritage by the 32nd session of the General Conference of UNESCO on 17 October 2003.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectiveHome-delivered nutrition programmes that are federally subsidized by the US Administration on Aging seek to ensure that socially isolated older adults who are unable to purchase and prepare their own food have nutritious meals delivered to them regularly by both employed and volunteer staff. Unfortunately, there are long waiting lists in some neighbourhoods that are often due to a shortage of volunteers. The present paper describes a theoretically driven community-based project designed to increase volunteer participation in serving Meals on Wheels (MOW) clients.DesignA Support Team model was applied in the project wherein existing social capital among religious faith communities, and social networks within those organizations, was joined with a local MOW programme to create a sustainable meal delivery route to vulnerable homebound older adults.SettingThe programme participants were in one underserved neighbourhood in Birmingham, Alabama, an urban city in the south-eastern USA.SubjectsThe subjects under consideration are both MOW clients and volunteers. MOW clients are those individuals aged 60 years and above who qualify for the service; the volunteers are from community churches.ResultsOne volunteer route, comprising six congregations that delivered meals to sixteen homebound older adults, was created. The route served more than 2000 meals in 2006 (the year the programme began) and continues to serve clients today.ConclusionsThe programme’s successful implementation provides evidence that reliance on theory is critical in planning and developing effective community-based programme interventions.

Abstract:
Sitting toilets are preferred globally because they afford a relatively comfortable posture. However, squat toilets are among the most common toilets in numerous public areas because of their advantages, including personal hygiene, easy cleaning, and health benefits. This study attempted to determine optimal toilet design parameters and recruited 50 Taiwanese and 50 Southeast Asian women and collected span between feet (SBF) data for participants squatting in their most comfortable posture, and also surveyed maximum outer width (MOW) data of 28 public squat toilets in Taipei. Finally, we compared the squatting stability levels of 40 female participants (20 Taiwanese and 20 Southeast Asians) who squatted for 2 min at comfortable SBF and MOW-based SBF values. The results revealed that the minimum and maximum SBFs of Taiwanese were 14.52 cm and 18.40 cm, and that of Southeast Asians were 15.64 cm and 20.40 cm, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the SBFs between the two groups was observed. The mean (range) MOW of the surveyed toilets was 27.7 (27–29) cm. Analysis of variance results showed no difference in stability between the two SBFs. This implies that the comfortable SBF (i.e., 16 cm between the participants’ heels) was narrower than the MOW, as commonly used, indicating that the comfortable SBF can be considered as an optimal toilet width parameter because of its constant stability.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of social and economic changes, particularly the transition from a collectivistic to an individualistic society, on the meaning of work (MOW) in Israel. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire probing the MOW domains (economic orientation, intrinsic orientation, interpersonal relations, entitlement and obligation norms and job satisfaction) was conducted on a representative sample of the Israeli labor force in 1981 (n=973) and 2006 (n=898). Findings A comparison between the results of the 1981 and 2006 surveys shows a significant increase in economic and intrinsic orientation, and a significant decrease in interpersonal relations orientation, job satisfaction and obligation and entitlement norms. Work centrality remained stable. The demographic factors, especially education, have some impact on the MOW domains. Practical implications The transformation of work values reflects the changes in employees’ expectations and needs. Therefore, organizations are compelled to find new material and non-material reward systems and methods to maintain employee commitment, motivation and satisfaction. Various implications for organizations and management are discussed. Originality/value This cross-sectional study explores how the combination of economic and social changes is reflected in employees’ job satisfaction and other work values. Furthermore, the study examines the impact of the main demographic factors on the MOW and offers suggestions to gain employees loyalty and commitment based on all the findings.

Abstract:
Kontrasepsi MOW (Metode Operasi Wanita), merupakan salah satu metode kontrasepsi yang sangat menguntungkan karena efektiitasnya yang sangat tinggi untuk mengakhiri kesuburan. Namun pada kenyataanya masih sedikit jumlah pengguna kontrasepsi ini. Hal ini disebabkan pengetahuan yang kurang akan kontrasepsi MOW dan minat yang masih rendah. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah korelasional, dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasinya adalah semua Ibu multipara di Desa Mojokendil, Kecamatan Ngronggot, Kabupaten Nganjuk sejumlah 103 ibu.Teknik sampling menggunakan purposive sampling yaitu sejumlah 51 ibu.Variabel independennya adalah pengetahuan dan variabel dependennya adalah minat ibu tentang KB MOW.Data diperoleh dari kuesioner, setelah itu pengolahan data dengan editing, coding, scoring, tabulating, kemudian di analisa menggunakan Spearman Rank. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa banyak responden yang masih memiliki pengetahuan yang kurang yaitu 38 orang ( 74.50% ). Dan minat yang rendah yaitu 36 responden (70.59%).Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa pengetahuan yang rendah juga mempengaruhi minat seseorang yang rendah pula. Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor diantara lain adalah usia, informasi, pendidikan dan pekerjaan. Karena pengetahuan ibu multipara yang rendah maka rendah pula minat ibu multipara menggunakan kontrasepsi MOW. Dari hasil penelitian tersebut maka kita sebagai petugas kesehatan harus meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu multipara tentang kontrasepsi mantap wanita. Dengan cara memberi penyuluhan mengenai kontrasepsi mantap wanita, membagikan leaflet tentang KB MOW. Diharapkan ibu bisa menyerap pengetahuan dan dapat berminat dalam menggunakan kontrasepsi mantap wanita.
