Literati music is an important part of Chinese traditional music. After a long period of development, it has formed a unique aesthetic experience and has had a profound impact on Chinese music culture. By analyzing the basic conditions and main characteristics of the formation of music national aesthetic psychology, we can understand the reasons and characteristics of the formation of literati music. Taking the ancient song \"Fishermen’s Song At Eventide \" as an example, the literati thought contained in the music is discussed.

In the context of vessel buyback and fishermen transfer, some traditional marine fishermen changed their profession and turned to other related industries such as mariculture, fish processing, and recreational fishery. Studying the livelihood vulnerability of different types of fishermen is an important basis to help fishermen rebuild sustainable livelihoods. This paper developed a framework of a fishermen’s livelihood vulnerability assessment under multi-stresses, and then conducted an empirical analysis based on a survey in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, China. Finally, the determinants of livelihood vulnerability were analyzed by a regression tree model. Results showed that fishermen with a high level of vulnerability accounted for about 37.35%, and they had some unique characteristics such as advanced age, low education levels. Although converted fishermen faced fewer exposure risks than non-converted fishermen, they eventually showed higher vulnerability due to poor adaptive ability. The livelihood vulnerability of fishermen engaged in recreational fisheries was relatively low, while that of fishermen engaged in non-fisheries was quite different from each other. The results of the regression tree analysis showed that the number of household income sources, whether they converted or not, impacts of disturbances, and whether they were equipped with fishery facilities could influence the fishermen’s livelihood vulnerability. The government should pay more attention to the fishermen whose family income source was single, and the converted fishermen whose productive physical capital was scare.

Local support is important for the longevity of conservation initiatives. The literature suggests that perceptions of ecological effectiveness, social impacts, and good governance will influence levels of local support for conservation. This paper examines these relationships using data from a survey of small‐scale fishermen in 11 marine protected areas from six countries in the Mediterranean Sea. The survey queried small‐scale fishermen regarding perceptions and support for conservation. We constructed composite scores for three categories of perceptions—ecological effectiveness, social impacts, and good governance—and tested the relationship with levels of support using ordinal regression models. While all three factors were positively correlated with support for conservation, perceptions of good governance and social impacts were stronger predictors of increasing support. These findings suggest that employing good governance processes and managing social impacts may be more important than ecological effectiveness for maintaining local support for conservation.

Technology that is developed for or adopted by the recreational fisheries sector (e.g., anglers and the recreational fishing industry) has led to rapid and dramatic changes in how recreational anglers interact with fisheries resources. From improvements in finding and catching fish to emulating their natural prey and accessing previously inaccessible waters, to anglers sharing their exploits with others, technology is completely changing all aspects of recreational fishing. These innovations would superficially be viewed as positive from the perspective of the angler (aside from the financial cost of purchasing some technologies), yet for the fisheries manager and policy maker, technology may create unintended challenges that lead to reactionary or even ill-defined approaches as they attempt to keep up with these changes. The goal of this paper is to consider how innovations in recreational fishing are changing the way that anglers interact with fish, and thus how recreational fisheries management is undertaken. We use a combination of structured reviews and expert analyses combined with descriptive case studies to highlight the many ways that technology is influencing recreational fishing practice, and, relatedly, what it means for changing how fisheries and/or these technologies need to be managed—from changes in fish capture, to fish handling, to how anglers share information with each other and with managers. Given that technology is continually evolving, we hope that the examples provided here lead to more and better monitoring of technological innovations and engagement by the management and policy authorities with the recreational fishing sector. Doing so will ensure that management actions related to emerging and evolving recreational fishing technology are more proactive than reactive.

Entrepreneurship development in the fisheries sector is important in poverty alleviation efforts. Although fishermen play a role as producers of fishery products, entrepreneurship in this field is increasingly recognized as positively contributing to reducing poverty. In addition, the integration of fishermen into the community and the local economy is increasingly seen as a significant factor in the success of entrepreneurship. This study examines the application and potential of cultural entrepreneurship in fishing communities, aiming to evaluate its effectiveness in addressing social-economic challenges and improving community welfare through the utilization of local knowledge and traditional skills. The research employed a qualitative approach, conducting interview studies, focus group discussion, and limited observation to assess the impact of cultural entrepreneurship practices among fishermen. Data collection focused on entrepreneurial activities, resource utilization, and economic outcomes. This study was conducted in Tiku Selatan Village, located in Tanjung Mutiara Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with the fishing community, including fishermen and their wives, as well as local government representatives. The study employed semi-structured interviews involving fifteen men and ten women. Additionally, focus group discussions were conducted to gain insights into fishermen’s experiences and their collective perceptions of cultural entrepreneurship. Qualitative data analysis was carried out comprehensively throughout the research to highlight the potential of cultural entrepreneurship in improving the socio-economic conditions of fishing villages while preserving their cultural heritage. The findings revealed that fishermen successfully leverage local resources to generate added value, resulting in improved household economies. However, several challenges were identified, including limited market access and inadequate entrepreneurial capacity, which currently hinder the full realization of cultural entrepreneurship potential in fishing community. Cultural entrepreneurship demonstrates promise as a tool for sustainable economic development in fishing communities, but requires targeted policy interventions and support mechanisms focused on developing market relations and entrepreneurial skills to ensure long-term socio-economic benefits. In conclusion, an ecotourism-oriented entrepreneurial culture has the potential to improve entrepreneurial attitudes and strengthen public understanding of innovative and creative village development. We conclude that implementing tourism with a focus on social entrepreneurship can encourage entrepreneurial attitudes and create an environment that is more concerned with the community's needs in village development.

This article shows how acts of refusal mediated different experiences of uncertainty among the artisanal fishermen who lived and worked in Ennore’s (Chennai, India) polluted landscape. In uncovering how some of these uncertainties were experienced as a result of histories of urban segregation that rendered peripheral locations like Ennore seemingly appropriate to house polluting industries, and thereafter sustained through the bodily demands of thozhil (the profession of artisanal fishing) in a contaminated river, the article posits acts of partial, processual, and contradictory forms of refusal as ways in which different fishermen reconciled some of their experiences of living with Ennore’s petrochemical pollution. In critically engaging emic terms like area and thozhil that the fishermen used to flag their stances of refusal, and also showing how collective assemblies became instrumental in challenging Ennore’s polluting industries, the article argues that refusal not only helped the fishermen forge lives and make claims in places that were becoming more industrial and toxic but also mediated their relationship to a place they knew as, and desired to continue calling, their home. இந்த கட்டுரை, எண்ணூர் மாசடைந்த நீர்நிலைகளில், பாரம்பரிய முறையில் மீன்பிடிக்கும் மீனவர்களின், வாழ்வாதார ஐயப்பாடுகளை விளக்குகிறது. பல இரசாயன ஆலைகளை சுமக்கும், நகரத்தின் விளிம்பில் தள்ளப்பட்ட எண்ணூரின், 'நகர்புற-பிரிவினை' வரலாற்றை ஆராய்ந்து, சுகாதாரமற்ற நீரில் இறங்கி மீன்பிடி தொழில் செய்யும் மீனவர்களின் தேவைகளை கண்டறிந்து, எண்ணூர் மீனவர்கள் எவ்வாறு தங்களின் வேறுபட்ட அனுபவங்களை வைத்து 'எண்ணெய் கசிவு' போன்ற மாசுப்பாட்டை எதிர்த்தனர் என்பதை, நடைமுறை கூறுகள், செயல்முறை வழக்கம் மற்றும் முரண்பாடுகளின் மூலமாக இக்கட்டுரை நிறுவுகிறது.

Background Some data suggest that neuroinflammation may be associated with pro‐inflammatory states in the body. Systemic, proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL‐1, IL‐6, etc.) are produced by a variety of comorbidities. Neuroinflammation has been shown to be associated with the accumulation of amyloid in the brain (Becher, Heneka). We hypothesized that systemic cytokine production could be associated with neuroinflammation and thereby be related to brain amyloid accumulation. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between neuroinflammation, amyloid accumulation and systemic cytokines. Method 90 participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (MCSA) received a fasting cytokine panel over a 5‐year span where IL‐1, IL‐6, IL‐10, TNFa levels were measured. Participants were divided into four groups: cognitively unimpaired with normal levels of amyloid (CU A‐, n = 25), cognitively unimpaired with elevated amyloid (CU A+, n = 25), and mild cognitively impaired (MCI) with amyloid positive (MCI A+, n = 25), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) with elevated amyloid (AD A+, n = 15). To compare regional standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr) from neuroinflammation PET based on amyloid status (A+ vs A‐) and the four cytokines, Spearman's rank correlation and Fishers r‐to‐z transformations were used to assess pairwise group differences. Result Using Spearman's rank correlation and Fishers r‐to‐z transformations, no strong relationship was found between systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. While comparing CUA‐ vs CUA+ in Figure 1, three regions (supplementary motor area, frontal superior medial lobe, and middle cingulate cortex) showed a significant difference (p < 0.05). However, Figure 2 showed an overarching trend bias towards significance across most regions in IL10, IL6, and TNFa. Conclusion Although significant relationships between systemic inflammation, brain amyloid and neuroinflammation were limited, the data show an overarching trend bias in broad brain regions, suggesting that further analyses are needed, possibly with larger sample sizes, to assess the relationship of regional neuroinflammation and amyloid to systemic inflammation. Future analyses could also regress out factors like sex, age, and genotype to further proinflammatory cytokine research.

We analysed the fishermen’s perceptions on the South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) and its interactions with the local fishery close to the Wildlife Refuge of Ilha dos Lobos, a marine protected area in southern Brazil. Sea lions prey upon the same resources targeted by the fishermen. They repeatedly hunt on the nets and consequently damage them. In response, fishermen persecute sea lions. However, in conflicts with high-profile animals, the perceived damage often exceeds the actual evidence. Results from 100 interviews revealed that fishermen’s perception of damage and their attitudes were affected by age, hierarchical position in the crew, if fishing was the only source of income, and level of formal education. Greater perception of damage and more negative attitude were found among older, less educated sailor fishermen who had no other source of income besides fishing. The average fisherman had a relatively good knowledge about sea lions, but also a negative attitude towards them. We recommend actions addressing these negative attitudes through environmental education, with emphasis on adjusting exaggerated perceptions of impact and the potential of the species for wildlife tourism, as a vital step towards the conciliation of sustainable fisheries and O. flavescens conservation in the Brazilian coast.
