PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF FRESHWATER PEARL MUSSEL LAMELLIDENS MARGINALIS EXPOSED TO HYPOXIA

Oxygen is one of the most important constituents for energy and metabolism of air breathing organisms. For aquatic organisms, oxygen is more critical a factor since it should be dissolved in water at a sufficient concentration for comfortable water-breathing (Dejours, 1975). Therefore, hypoxia in aquatic habitats has become a natural event and occurs when oxygen consumption rate in water (respiration, decomposition, etc. by aquatic organisms) exceeds rate of oxygen production (Graham, 1990). Hypoxia in both freshwater and marine ecosystems has become common all over the world because of growing amount of anthropogenic nutrient and organic loading in natural waterbodies (Gray et al., 2002). Many commercially and ecologically important benthic organisms like mussels and oysters are one of the most affected aquatic communities to hypoxia since eutrophication can result in serious oxygen depletion in bottom of aquatic waterbodies (Jørgensen, 1996). Freshwater Pearl Mussel Lamellidens marginalis is one of the most preferred freshwater bivalves utilized as food by many ethnic groups in Bangladesh, Nepal and India. Excessive exploitation, loss of habitat, aquatic pollution are some of the threats identified for decline in natural population of this important species in water of Bangladesh and other Gangetic plain (Madhyastha et al., 2010). For more than a decade, Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI) has been trying to develop pearl culture in freshwater utilizing this species (Hossain et al., 2004). Therefore, this species requires special attention with regard to its growing economic importance and due to suitability of this species to culture in open fresh waterbodies. While freshwater pearl mussel is cultivable in open freshwaters like ‘haor’ and ‘beel’ wetlands and as well as in bound waters like ponds and ‘baors’, its potential risks of being stressed by hypoxia due to ehtrophication from agriculture and domestic swages should also be considered and studied.

MADIBA Ô AFRIKA

La situation dans les régions du GRAND NORD du pays sont très critiques: - Des immigrés internes se déplacent des zones où sévit les troubles causés par le groupe islamiste BOKO HARAM vers les localités sécurisées, - Des immigrés des pays frontaliers eux aussi se déplacent à la recherche d'un peu de sécurité et du mieux vivre. Cette surpopulation de ces villes aggrave un problème qui existait déjà dans ces régions: "LE MANQUE D'EAU POTABLE". Ce qui emmène une prolifération des maladies et leur propagation très rapide. A ce jour, des centaines de cas de choléra détecté dans ces zones du septentrion du Cameroun. Ce projet vise à diminuer cet effet du manque d'eau potable, mais associé à des journées de sensibilisation aux règles de l'hygiène de base et aux dons des savons, détergents, d'eau de javel à ces réfugiés et population, une bonne partie de ce problème sera résolue. Voilà là, l'objet du projet ci décrit.

Female Imprisoned Psychological Problems

Expiration: August 7, 2018

Psychological problems and disorders are lot for imprisons, specially between females are extremely a lot. By this reason we a group of LEAP-2 and YSEL-9 Alumni (Qudsiya “Yousofi”, Farzana “Sadat”, Sharmilla “Maqamy” (YSEL-9 Alumni), Omid “Noorzai”, and Nazir Ahmad “Ziaee” (LEAP-2 Alumni)) by the Leading of Mohebullah “Yarzadah” LEAP-2 Alumnus have found that women who are in jail, are facing with so many problems like: Depression, Anxiety, Impulse Control Disorders and Phobias. We by planning this program want to increase awareness level of them, in order to find the best way of helping themselves. In this case we are planning a 6-day program which is going to be taken place in Herat’s women prison. In this seminar 100 female prisoners will be trained by 4 psychologists, who are going to be invited by the group of Alumni. They will also come up with activities per day due to reduce mentioned problems which can be really effective. Activities are going to be done as groups, and they are: Paintings, Counseling Groups, and Debating. Qudsiya “Yousofi”, Sharmilla “Maqamy” and Omid “Noorzai” are supposed to gather information about Women depression problems in Herat’s Prison; they also will talk to the arranged psychologist for his presentation for the women. They are also making the women in groups of 10 and they are going to paint pictures which could be related to depression or any other of the mentioned problems in the first day. Nazir Ahmad “Ziaee” and Farzana “Sadat” are going to be gathering the general conflicts of women those who are in prison facing to, after that they will deliver them to the 3 other psychologist; in order them to have effective presentations for the women.

The exact time for starting the project is 7th August, 2018 to 13th August 2018.

Integrative analyses of spatial, genetic, and demographic information for investigating the population dynamics of the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus)

My postdoctoral research aims to study the role of connectivity in the maintenance of genetic diversity in the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus). I am using a combination of movement data (GPS) and genetic markers to quantify the contemporary processes conditioning the maintenance of connectivity to better understand historical connectivity. Estimates of connectivity and gene flow will help define future strategies for this species of particular conservation concern.
