Objective:
The unprecedented occurrence of a global pandemic is accompanied by both physical and psychological burdens that may impair quality of life. Research relating to COVID-19 aims to determine the effects of the pandemic on vulnerable populations who are at high risk of developing negative health or psychosocial outcomes. Having an ongoing medical condition during a pandemic may lead to greater psychological distress. Increased psychological distress may be due to preventative public health measures (e.g. lockdown), having an ongoing medical condition, or a combination of these factors.
Methods:This study analyses data from an online cross-sectional national survey of adults in Ireland and investigates the relationship between comorbidity and psychological distress. Those with a medical condition (n = 128) were compared to a control group without a medical condition (n = 128) and matched according to age, gender, annual income, education, and work status during COVID-19. Participants and data were obtained during the first public lockdown in Ireland (27 March 2020–8 June 2020).
Results:Individuals with existing medical conditions reported significantly higher levels of anxiety (p < .01) and felt less gratitude (p ≤ .001). Exploratory analysis indicated that anxiety levels were significantly associated with illness perceptions specific to COVID-19. Post hoc analysis revealed that psychological well-being was not significantly related to condition type (e.g. respiratory disorders).
Conclusion:This research supports individualised supports for people with ongoing medical conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has implications for the consideration of follow-up care specifically for mental health. Findings may also inform future public health policies and post-vaccine support strategies for vulnerable populations.

Devils Hole, in southern Nevada, is a surface collapse into a deep, planar, steeply dipping fault-controlled fissure in Cambrian limestone and dolostone. The collapse intersects the water table about 15 m below land surface and the fissure extends at least 130 m deeper. Below water, most of the fissure is lined with a >30-cm-thick layer of dense maxillary calcite that precipitated continuously from groundwater for >500,000 yr. The thick mammillary calcite coat implies a long history of calcite-supersaturated groundwaters, which, combined with the absence of dissolutional morphologies, suggests that Devils Hole was not formed by karst processes. Devils Hole is located in a region of active extension; its tectonic origin is shown by evidence of spreading of its planar opening along a fault and by the orientation of its opening and others nearby, perpendicular to the northwest-southeast minimum principal stress direction of the region. Most Quaternary tectonic activity in the area, including seismicity and Quaternary faults and fractures, occurs on or parallel to northeast-striking structures. The hydrogeologic implications of this primarily structural origin are that fracture networks and caves opened by extensional tectonism can act as groundwater flowpaths functionally similar to those developed by karst processes and that, during active extension, transmissivity can be maintained despite infilling by mineral precipitation. Such extensional environments can provide conditions favorable for accumulation of deposits preserving long, continuous paleoenvironmental records. The precipitates in Devils Hole store chronologies of flow system water-level fluctuations, hydrochemistry, a half-million-yr proxy paleoclimate record, evidence of Devils Hole's tectonic origin, and probably atmospheric circulation.

Summary
Introduction
As marine ecosystems are plagued by an ever-increasing suite of threats including climate change, pollution, habitat degradation, and fisheries impacts (Roessig et al., 2004; Lotze et al., 2006; Jackson, 2008), there are now no ocean areas that are exempt from anthropogenic impacts (Halpern et al., 2008). In order to preserve marine biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the goods and services provided by resistant and/or resilient systems, marine reserves have been increasingly recommended as part of an ecosystem-based approach to management (Browman and Stergiou, 2004; Levin et al., 2009). Marine reserves are defined as “areas of the ocean completely protected from all extractive and destructive activities” (Lubchenco et al., 2003) and can be experimental controls for evaluating the impact of these activities on marine ecosystems. Growing scientific information has shown consistent increases in species density, biomass, size, and diversity in response to full protection inside reserves of varying sizes and ages located in diverse regions (Claudet et al., 2008; Lester et al., 2009; Molloy et al., 2009). However, most of these data are from individual marine reserves and therefore have inherently limited transferability to networks of marine reserves, which when properly designed can outperform single marine reserves for a variety of ecological, economic, and social management goals (Roberts et al., 2003; Almany et al., 2009; Gaines et al., 2010).
The concept of marine reserve networks grew out of a desire to achieve both conservation and fishery management goals by minimizing the potential negative economic, social, and cultural impacts of a single large reserve while still producing similar or even greater ecological and economic returns (Murray et al., 1999; Gaines et al., 2010). In addition, reserves networks can provide insurance by protecting areas across a region and spreading the risk that these sites may be impacted by localized catastrophes such as hurricanes or oil spills (Allison et al., 2003). The World Conservation Union's Marine Programme defines a network as “a collection of individual marine protected areas (MPAs) or reserves operating co-operatively and synergistically, at various spatial scales and with a range of protection levels that are designed to meet objectives that a single reserve cannot achieve” (IUCN–WCPA, 2008). However, general terms such as “co-operatively” and “synergistically” can have myriad meanings. Without a clear definition of a network, it becomes difficult to identify attainable management goals and design a process for evaluating whether the network achieves those goals. Besides, different management goals may in turn result in the need for different types of networks. The use of MPAs with varying protection levels together with no-take zones in multiple-zoning schemes adds another layer of complexity to network design and evaluation; however, partially protected areas are generally used to manage coastal uses and avoid conflicts (rather than for strict ecological purposes) and are therefore a function of the local social, economic, and cultural context. As we are here interested in the ecological effects of networks, for the purposes of this chapter, we focus on marine reserves because these areas are no-take and therefore offer greater ecological benefits than other types of MPAs that allow some forms of extraction (Lester and Halpern, 2008).

With increasing resistance to anti-parasitic drugs, it has become more important to detect and recognize phenotypes of resistant isolates. Molecular methods of detecting resistant isolates are limited at present. Here, we introduce a microfluidic bioassay to measure phenotype using parameters of nematode locomotion. We illustrate the technique on larvae of an animal parasite Oesophagostomum dentatum. Parameters of sinusoidal motion such as propagation velocity, wavelength, wave amplitude, and oscillation frequency depended on the levamisole-sensitivity of the isolate of parasitic nematode. The levamisole-sensitive isolate (SENS) had a mean wave amplitude of 135 μm, which was larger than 123 μm of the levamisole-resistant isolate (LEVR). SENS had a mean wavelength of 373 μm, which was less than 393 μm of LEVR. The mean propagation velocity of SENS, 149 μm s−1, was similar to LEVR, 143 μm s−1. The propagation velocity of the isolates was inhibited by levamisole in a concentration-dependent manner above 0·5 μm. The EC50 for SENS was 3 μm and the EC50 for LEVR was 10 μm. This microfluidic technology advances present-day nematode migration assays and provides a better quantification and increased drug sensitivity. It is anticipated that the bioassay will facilitate study of resistance to other anthelmintic drugs that affect locomotion.

A growing evidence-base shows that family therapy works, but many gaps in our knowledge remain about the conditions under which family therapy is effective and how it works. In this paper, ten critical research questions about family therapy that need to be addressed are considered. In short these are:
1. Is family therapy as effective in community settings as it is in specialist clinics?
2. For what problems is family therapy cost-effective?
3. Does family therapy work for under-researched problems and populations?
4. Do social-constructionist and narrative approaches to family therapy work?
5. Can family therapy protocols be enhanced for non-responders?
6. Can family therapy be combined with other psychotherapies to effectively treat specific problems?
7. Can family therapy be combined with pharmacotherapy to effectively treat specific problems?
8. What specific factors contribute to the effectiveness of family therapy with particular problems?
9. What common factors contribute to the effectiveness of family therapy?
10. What therapist and client factors contribute to the effectiveness of family therapy?

This book examines the role of American Jews in the entertainment industry, from the turn of the century to the outbreak of World War II. Eastern European Jewish immigrants are often credited with building a film industry during the first decade of the twentieth century that they dominated by the 1920s. In this study, Steven Carr reconceptualizes Jewish involvement in Hollywood by examining prevalent attitudes towards Jews among American audiences. Analogous to the Jewish Question of the nineteenth century, which was concerned with the full participation of Jews within public life, the Hollywood Question of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s addressed the Jewish population within mass media. This study reveals the powerful set of assumptions concerning ethnicity and media influence as related to the role of the Jew in the motion picture industry.

Summary
GABLER'S PARADOX
The end of an era in American history has brought a remarkable degree of cultural ferment, no doubt the result of large-scale shifts taking place in national and international affairs. One finds this ferment imbuing discussions of both internal domestic affairs and the nation's role in a shifting global order. In 1990, Germany completed its reunification as the Soviet Union crumbled. Amid the biggest bank failures and bailouts in United States history, American conservatives cast this successive chain of international events as a victory for Western capitalism over communism. With the purported fall of communism, however, American political discourse lost one of its most potent, influential images. The specter of communism – the so-called Red Menace that had haunted American popular consciousness since World War I and that had structured the virtual entirety of United States post–World War II foreign policy – was suddenly gone. The very raison d'être for blacklisting, national security, “police actions,” missile crises, Vietnam, arms races, and nuclear holocausts had seemingly crumbled into powdery oblivion.
As one demon corroded from public consciousness, others quickly took shape. Iraq moved its troops across the Kuwaiti border in the summer of 1990, triggering a series of events that helped redefine post–Cold War American foreign policy in terms of ready access to the world's petroleum resources. Meanwhile, Operation Desert Storm coincided with what Evan Carton has dubbed Operation Campus Storm. As a still undisclosed body count continued to rise in Iraq, American popular culture fretted over didactic campus leftists.

Summary
WHAT PRICE, HOLLYWOOD QUESTION?
Hollywood ultimately invited – perhaps even required – interpretation and explanation of itself. The publicity departments of the movie studios generated apocryphal tales of larger-than-life stars and behind-the scenes intrigue. Countless books shared “inside information” on how to break into movies, how to write for them, and how to become a star. The familiar tropes of the American Dream reverberated throughout this discourse of almost attainable success. Desired by many, only a lucky few could achieve, keep, and enjoy it. Indeed, such perceptions had some basis. Considering the industry's output and worth, Hollywood employed relatively few people, as Leo Rosten found in 1941. Approximately thirty thousand people were working in Hollywood in 1937, yet the industry supposedly ranked fourteenth of any U.S. industry in its volume of business, and eleventh in its total assets. Such discrepancy between industry size and economic stature was conspicuous, especially during an economic depression.
Within popular culture, the interpretation and explanation of Hollywood – highlighting both its contradictions and its peccadilloes – consistently invoked the Question in a way that faithfully and obviously hailed heterosexual whites. While one could scrutinize the motion picture industry from a variety of subject positions, the Hollywood Question viewed America through the eyes of its whites. Nonfiction and fiction alike, religious literature, political protests from both the right and the left, voices from the mainstream and on the margins – even Hollywood movies themselves – ultimately acceded to a belief in Jewish agency. This belief – that Jews ultimately behaved as Jews – had nothing to do with the diversity and complexity of the American Jewish experience.

Summary
FROM INDIVIDUAL DEVIANCY TO COLLECTIVE INSTRUMENTALITY
After World War I, the Hollywood Question began making its specific allegations of Jewish control over the motion picture industry. It drew from a confluence of other discussions that had already “mapped out” a particular way of linking American Jews, ethnicity, and agency. This “mapping out” charted the route along which one could invoke the Hollywood Question. The Question circulated amid a field of stock images and assumptions. Through these images and assumptions, the Question could respond to an increasingly urban, modern, diverse, and globally significant America. Moreover, through these images and assumptions, the Question could resonate with a certain dissatisfaction over this changing America. Many of these stock images and assumptions had been circulating for centuries, well before the emergence of the Hollywood Question. The way in which they spoke through the Hollywood Question, however, marked a profound shift in American prejudice during the Gilded Age.
Prior to the twentieth century, most of these stereotypes worked to justify, maintain, and repair the marginal status – often codified into European law – that Jews held within Christian culture. For example, both Germany and Russia had historically denied Jews property and voting rights. By even interrogating the ability of Jews to coexist with Christians in a presumably Christian society, the Jewish Question used certain stereotypes to justify this denial. In most cases, these stereotypes emphasized that the individual deviancy of the Jew was at odds with the rest of the Christian community. In its most extreme form, these stereotypes could activate the blood libel. This libel accused Jews of absconding with Christian children and then using their blood in various religious rituals.

Summary
Two years after the so-called Republican Revolution of 1994, the ultraconservative Ludwig von Mises Institute prominently featured an article entitled “How Antitrust Ruined the Movies” in The Free Market, its official newsletter. In it, the author, who had recently publicly beseeched the South to secede from the Union, argued that Big Government regulation was responsible for the decline in Hollywood since its golden age of the thirties and forties. Hardly an aberration, the article reflects a change in cultural climate. Gone are the insinuations of Jewish control and fears of a vulnerable public mind. Resentment had shifted from overtly blaming racial and ethnic groups to blaming the more nebulous but sufficiently malignant “Big Government.” Although the focus of resentment had changed, the net effect worked all the more artfully to keep certain Others at the margins. In a general climate that was hostile to notions of public interest and collective social responsibility, Congress could dismantle the last vestiges of New Deal socialism. One could redeem the poor and disenfranchised through a form of socially engineered “tough love.”
Given this new cultural climate in America, the Hollywood Question had taken a truly bizarre historical twist. Movies of the thirties and forties were apparently no longer at odds with down-home Americana. The conservative idyll of the American past now harbored both vertically integrated Hollywood and the small town in which movie palaces had screened products from motion picture's golden age. Such are the vicissitudes of the Hollywood Question.
Although it is tempting to dismiss The Free Market as representative of a crackpot fringe, its version of film history indicates mainstream shifts in American culture.
