This paper serves to alert IJPDS readers to the availability of a major new longitudinal survey data resource, the COVID-19 Psychological Research Consortium (C19PRC) Study, which is being released for secondary use via the Open Science Framework. The C19PRC Study is a rich and detailed dataset that provides a convenient and valuable foundation from which to study the social, political, and health status of European adults during an unprecedented time of change as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit. Here, we provide an overview of the C19PRC Study design, with the purpose of stimulating interest about the study among social scientists and maximising use of this resource.

Transformation toward a sustainable future requires an earth stewardship approach to shift society from its current goal of increasing material wealth to a vision of sustaining built, natural, human, and social capital—equitably distributed across society, within and among nations. Widespread concern about earth's current trajectory and support for actions that would foster more sustainable pathways suggests potential social tipping points in public demand for an earth stewardship vision. Here, we draw on empirical studies and theory to show that movement toward a stewardship vision can be facilitated by changes in either policy incentives or social norms. Our novel contribution is to point out that both norms and incentives must change and can do so interactively. This can be facilitated through leverage points and complementarities across policy areas, based on values, system design, and agency. Potential catalysts include novel democratic institutions and engagement of non-governmental actors, such as businesses, civic leaders, and social movements as agents for redistribution of power. Because no single intervention will transform the world, a key challenge is to align actions to be synergistic, persistent, and scalable.

Mit dem "Teilhabechancengesetz" wurden zum Jahresbeginn 2019 die Instrumente "Eingliederung von Langzeitarbeitslosen" (§16e SGB II) sowie "Teilhabe am Arbeitsmarkt" (§16i SGB II) eingeführt. Beide Instrumente richten sich gleichermaßen an langzeitarbeitslose Leistungsberechtigte, die auch bei guter Arbeitsmarktlage nur geringe Aussichten auf eine ungeförderte Beschäftigung und damit auf ein Leben jenseits staatlicher Transferzahlungen haben. Damit rückt eine Teilgruppe unter den erwerbsfähigen Leistungsberechtigten in den Fokus der arbeitsmarktpolitischen Förderung, die über Jahre hinweg faktisch von regelmäßiger Erwerbstätigkeit und den darüber vermittelten Teilhabemöglichkeiten ausgeschlossen ist. Entsprechend besteht das Kernanliegen beider Instrumente darin, den Geförderten die Beteiligung am Arbeitsleben zu eröffnen und dadurch zur Verbesserung ihrer Beschäftigungsfähigkeit, ihrer Arbeitsmarktchancen und ihrer gesellschaftlichen Teilhabemöglichkeiten beizutragen. Zusammen mit der Einführung beider Förderinstrumente hat der Gesetzgeber auch deren umfassende wissenschaftliche Evaluation beschlossen. Die Evaluation erfolgt im Rahmen der Wirkungsforschung nach §55 Abs. 1 SGB II und obliegt damit dem Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB). Im Fokus der Studie stehen insbesondere die Implementation der Maßnahmen auf Ebene der Jobcenter, ihr betrieblicher Einsatz sowie ihre Wirkungen auf die Beschäftigungsfähigkeit, die Arbeitsmarktchancen und die gesellschaftliche Teilhabe der Geförderten. Der vorliegende Bericht dokumentiert den aktuellen Arbeits- und Erkenntnisstand der wissenschaftlichen Evaluation. ; Despite the decline of unemployment in recent years, long-term unemployment remains one of the major challenges for the German labour market. For that reason another two active labour market programmes were introduced in 2019. Both measures address long-term unemployed people with very poor labour market prospects. While the key objective of the first measure is to improve participants' chances on the regular job market, the second one intends to strengthen participants' prospects of social inclusion. Both programmes are designed as a wage subsidy for employers. The evaluation aims at a comprehensive analysis of the institutional implementation, the operational use at the establishment level as well as the individual effects of both labour market programmes. This report documents the current status of the evaluation and provides first research results.

In the United States, extensive investments have been made to restore the ecological function and services of coastal marine habitats. Despite a growing body of science supporting coastal restoration, few studies have addressed the suite of societally enabling conditions that helped facilitate successful restoration and recovery efforts that occurred at meaningful ecological (i.e., ecosystem) scales, and where restoration efforts were sustained for longer (i.e., several years to decades) periods. Here, we examined three case studies involving large-scale and long-term restoration efforts including the seagrass restoration effort in Tampa Bay, Florida, the oyster restoration effort in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Virginia, and the tidal marsh restoration effort in San Francisco Bay, California. The ecological systems and the specifics of the ecological restoration were not the focus of our study. Rather, we focused on the underlying social and political contexts of each case study and found common themes of the factors of restoration which appear to be important for maintaining support for large-scale restoration efforts. Four critical elements for sustaining public and/or political support for large-scale restoration include: (1) resources should be invested in building public support prior to significant investments into ecological restoration ; (2) building political support provides a level of significance to the recovery planning efforts and creates motivation to set and achieve meaningful recovery goals ; (3) recovery plans need to be science-based with clear, measurable goals that resonate with the public ; and (4) the accountability of progress toward reaching goals needs to be communicated frequently and in a way that the general public comprehends. These conclusions may help other communities move away from repetitive, single, and seemingly unconnected restoration projects towards more large-scale, bigger impact, and coordinated restoration efforts.

BACKGROUND: Travelers' diarrhea (TD) is a leading threat to military readiness. Most trials of rifaximin chemoprophylaxis involve civilians or short-duration travel, whereas military travelers are exposed for longer periods at austere locations and are often physically taxed. We sought to assess efficacy of two regimens among military personnel deployed overseas. METHODS: This was a multi-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of deployed military, randomized to placebo, rifaximin 550 mg daily, or rifaximin 550 mg twice-daily, for up to 42 days (1:1:1; 6 randomizations/block). Diaries were reviewed with subjects on return. Primary endpoint was time to first unformed stool (TFUS) in a TD episode. Other endpoints were assessed by intention to treat (ITT) and subgroups included incidence of any loose stool, meeting criteria for TD, safety, efficacy, adherence and impact to activity endpoints. RESULTS: 343 subjects were included in the ITT population. All UK travelers deployed to a single-site in Kenya; US travelers mostly deployed to various Asia-Pacific locations. Of 73 (21.2%) subjects reporting diarrhea, 42 (57.5%) met TD criteria. Among rifaximin-treated subjects, 15.9% (n=17) reported diarrhea in the twice-daily arm, 20.7% (n=25) in the daily arm, vs. 27.0% (n=31) of placebo recipients; p=.04 and 0.26 respectively. TD was reported by 10.3% (n=11) and 10.7% (n=13) in the daily and twice-daily arms, vs. 15.7% (n=18) among placebo recipients; p=0.24 vs. 0.26 respectively. Among UK personnel, a twice-daily regimen vs. placebo resulted in significantly fewer TD episodes (1.6% vs. 11.9%; p=0.03). Adverse events were similar between groups. Table 1: Demographics, endpoints, and adverse events (Comparisons are across placebo vs. each dosing regimen.

Ongoing Ebola virus disease outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo follow the largest recorded outbreak in Western Africa (2013–2016). To combat outbreaks, testing of medical countermeasures (therapeutics or vaccines) requires a well-defined, reproducible, animal model. Here we present Ebola virus disease kinetics in 24 Chinese-origin rhesus monkeys exposed intramuscularly to a highly characterized, commercially available Kikwit Ebola virus Filovirus Animal Non-Clinical Group (FANG) stock. Until reaching predetermined clinical disease endpoint criteria, six animals underwent anesthesia for repeated clinical sampling and were compared to six that did not. Groups of three animals were euthanized and necropsied on days 3, 4, 5, and 6 post-exposure, respectively. In addition, three uninfected animals served as controls. Here, we present detailed characterization of clinical and laboratory disease kinetics and complete blood counts, serum chemistries, Ebola virus titers, and disease kinetics for future medical countermeasure (MCM) study design and control data. We measured no statistical difference in hematology, chemistry values, or time to clinical endpoint in animals that were anesthetized for clinical sampling during the acute disease compared to those that were not.

Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Materials and methods, microscopy, spectroscopy, molecular dynamics and spectrometry data. See DOI:10.1039/c6sc02925f ; The spread of bacterial resistance to traditional antibiotics continues to stimulate the search for alternative antimicrobial strategies. All forms of life, from bacteria to humans, are postulated to rely on a fundamental host defense mechanism, which exploits the formation of open pores in microbial phospholipid bilayers. Here we predict that transmembrane poration is not necessary for antimicrobial activity and reveal a distinct poration mechanism that targets the outer leaflet of phospholipid bilayers. Using a combination of molecular-scale and real-time imaging, spectroscopy and spectrometry approaches, we introduce a structural motif with a universal insertion mode in reconstituted membranes and live bacteria. We demonstrate that this motif rapidly assembles into monolayer pits that coalesce during progressive membrane exfoliation, leading to bacterial cell death within minutes. The findings offer a new physical basis for designing effective antibiotics. ; We thank the Bechinger group for their advice and support for the work, Hasan Alkassem for his help with AFM imaging and the EPSRC IRC in Early-Warning Sensing Systems for Infectious Diseases (EP/K031953/1) for use of research facilities.
