Overview of Predation by Birds, Cephalopods, Fish and Marine Mammals on Marine Benthic Amphipods
With about 8000 marine benthic species, the amphipod crustaceans form one of the richest animal groups of the worldwide Ocean. They have colonized a wide range of soft- and hard-bottom natural and artificial habitats extending from the intertidal to hadal zones. Moreover, they show a broad size spectrum, with numerous giant species exceeding 20 cm in length and some species smaller than 2 mm. When biofouling artificial hard surfaces, some tube-building species can form very dense populations comprising up to 100,000 individuals per square meter. Amphipods are important prey for fish and mammals. Along with cephalopod juveniles, they are also included in the trophic diet of shorebirds that consume amphipods mostly during the low tide on tidal flats. They display diel migration, which reinforces the predation by demersal fish in the suprabenthic zone just above the sea bed, as well as by pelagic fish in the water column. Despite their importance in terms of biodiversity and trophic transfer, no general overview is available on the role of benthic amphipods in marine ecosystem food webs. Various methods, including laboratory and field experiments, as well as the analysis of stomach contents and DNA extraction, have been used to identify the prey/predator trophic links. Based on an extensive literature review, this study discusses the role of marine benthic amphipods as potential food for higher trophic levels in natural and artificial hard-bottom communities created via the construction of offshore wind farms.

Skeletal fractures resulting from fatal falls: A review of the literature
•Falls are unique events which produce unique and complex skeletal blunt force trauma.•Fracture patterns and morphologies are poorly understood in forensic anthropology.•Forensic anthropology, forensic pathology and clinical medicine literature reviewed.•Currently, skeletal trauma detail is typically generalised to anatomical regions.•Greater understanding of skeletal BFT is necessary for medico-legal investigations.
To investigate what is currently known about skeletal blunt force trauma (BFT) resulting from falls, and how valuable that research is in contributing to forensic anthropology investigations and interpretations of circumstances of death, a comprehensive review of forensic anthropology, forensic pathology and clinical medicine literature was performed. Forensic anthropology literature identified that establishing the type of fall from the analysis of BFT is difficult given the uniqueness of each fall event, the complexities involved with identify BFT and, in particular, the limited available research documenting fracture patterning and morphologies. Comparatively, skeletal BFT resulting from fatal falls is well documented in the forensic pathology and clinical medicine literature. These disciplines cover a wide range of fall types (free falls, falls in juveniles, specific fractures produced from falls, falls down staircases, falls resulting in impalements, and ‘other’ fall types), provide details on how the nature of the fall influences the skeletal fracturing, and documents the anatomical regions susceptible to fracturing. Whilst these contributions may assist forensic anthropologists, they provide limited details of fracture patterns and morphologies and thus further research investigating the details of skeletal BFT resulting from fatal falls is required.

The effects of technology on incarcerated student motivation and engagement in classroom-based learning
This article the influence of technology on incarcerated students’ motivation and engagement in classroom-based learning. The juvenile jails and prisons confine many students who depend on education for future prosperity. In the twenty-first century, technology has dominated the education sector, and has been improving education delivery both to the incarcerated students and released students. Concerning the Covid-19 pandemic that resulted in the closure of learning setups, this work explicitly considers the jails and prisons contexts. The goal is to determine the effects of technology, after which the technical field can work towards improving the experience of the incarcerated students in the classrooms. Incarcerated students need modern skills that would enable them to survive in the technology-demanding society. This paper gives a brief review of previous research work, and my present work to determine the direction of classroom-based learning for incarcerated students.
