Downloaded from 1 2 3 ABSTRACT 4 5 6 Introduction: Individuals with moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (m-sTBI) experience 7 8 progressive brain and behavioural declines in the chronic stages of injury. Longitudinal studies 9 10 found that a majority of m-sTBI patients exhibit significant hippocampal atrophy from 5-12 11 12 months post-injury, associated with decreased cognitive environmental enrichment (EE). 13 14 15 Encouragingly, engaging in EE has been shown to lead to neural improvements, suggesting it is 16 For peer review only 17 a promising avenue for offsetting hippocampal neurodegeneration in m-sTBI. Allocentric spatial 18 19 navigation (i.e., flexible, bird’s eye view approach), is a good candidate for EE in m-sTBI 20 21 22 because it is associated with hippocampal activation and reduced aging-related volume loss. 23 24 Efficacy of EE requires intensive daily training, prohibitive within most current health delivery 25 26 systems. The present protocol is a novel, remotely delivered and self-administered intervention 27 28 29 designed to harness principles from EE and allocentric spatial navigation to offset hippocampal 30 31 atrophy and potentially improve hippocampal functions such as navigation and memory for m- 32 33 sTBI patients. 34 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 35 Methods and Analysis: Seventy chronic m-sTBI participants are being recruited from an urban 36 37 38 rehabilitation hospital and randomised into a 16-week intervention (five hours/week; total: 80 39 40 hrs.) of either targeted spatial navigation or an active control group. The spatial navigation group 41 on October 2, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 42 engages in structured exploration of different cities using Google Street View that includes daily 43 44 45 navigation challenges. The active control group watches and answers subjective questions about 46 47 educational videos. Following a brief orientation, participants remotely self-administer the 48 49 intervention on their home computer. In addition to feasibility and compliance measures, clinical 50 51 52 and experimental cognitive measures as well as MRI scan data are collected pre- and post- 53 54 intervention to determine behavioural and neural efficacy. 55 56 57 58 59 60 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml BMJ Open Page 4 of 51 REMOTE ENRICHMENT IN TBI 3 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2020-039767 on 11 February 2021.

  • Marine Biologist Helen Scales
    Helen Scales essay January 3rd 2013 There are many ways to contemplate a coral reef. You might peer through an airplane window and see a coastline with a bright turquoise margin trimmed in white surf. You might spot the giant ring of an atoll clinging to the sides of an undersea volcano. Seen from above, it becomes fathomable that coral reefs house riotous forms of life, protect land’s edge from battering storms, and feed millions of people. Get much closer to a coral reef – look at it through a microscope – and you’ll see a whole other world reveal itself. Each colony of reef-building coral is itself built from thousands of polyps that look like miniature pulsating flowers, peeping out of perforations in a skeleton sculpted from bone-white calcium carbonate. Inside each polyp are millions of cells, clustered like tiny marbles. These zooxanthellae, nicknamed ‘zoox’, give corals their bright colors and make life possible in parts of the ocean where nutrients are in short supply. They harness the sun’s energy to create sugars, some of which leak out into the coral polyp. And in return for this free meal, the zoox get a safe, sunny home. Many people nowadays have the means to see coral reefs for themselves, a snorkel tube in their mouth or blowing noisy bubbles from a scuba tank. From this point of view, captured increasingly in film and photographs, reef ecosystems flaunt their astonishing diversity of living things. When photographer David Liittschwager recently placed a one-cubic-foot metal frame onto a reef near Tahiti and watched it for 24 hours, he saw 600 species living inside or swimming, crawling and ambling through the small space.

  • Linda Weintrub
    The Firing and Misfiring of Human Powers by Linda Weintraub September 22, 2015 By capitalizing on the uncanny resemblance between a horse head and a crude oil extraction pump, The Rising Tide by Jason deCaires Taylor evokes two mythic symbols of human might. Both horses and pumps have long, pendulum like necks that culminate in an ovoid head. This visual correspondence generated such slang terms as ‘nodding donkey’, ’oil horse’, and ‘pumpjack.’ as they are sometimes known. It is augmented by a material convergence between ‘horsepower’ (mechanics) and ‘firepower’ (crude oil), conveying the ironic truth that a physical structure that evolved for quiet grazing on pristine planes has been engineered for the noisy lifting of submerged dirty oil. Their concordance is reinforced because they are also neighbors. Crude oil pumps have infiltrated the planes where horses graze. Taylor augments these correspondences by positioning all four horses that comprise this imposing life- sized sculpture so that they stand rooted in place, assuming the posture of crude oil pumps. The only implied movement is the parallel up-and-down motion of muscles and pistons. In the 12,000 years since ‘tool’ referred to a stick used for prying roots, humanity has added great depositories of brawn power to boost its brain power. The horse contributed super-human strength, speed, and stamina to perform the work of humans. Meanwhile, until the mid 19th century, the impact of humanity’s ‘firepower’ was constrained by the available stockpiles of flammable materials gathered on the planet’s surface. People burned renewable fuels like oil wood, reeds, vegetable oils, and animal fats.

To be resilient in the face of ongoing change these adaptations are necessarily local, environmentally aware, and systematic. On Lanzarote, a volcanic island at the northern end of the Canary Island archipelago, tourism developers have long claimed a particular skill in implementing environmentally aware, adaptive tourism infrastructure projects on land.
