Mussel larval responses to turbulence are unaltered by larvalage or light condition
No full textLarval responses to hydromechanical cues potentially have important effects on larval dispersal and settlement. This study examined the behavior of mussel larvae (Mytilus edulis) in laboratory-generated turbulence representative of nearshore currents. We video recorded the behavior of early- and late-stage veligers in a grid-stirred tank at five turbulence levels under light and dark conditions. Water velocities and kinetic energy dissipation rates were measured using particle image velocimetry and acoustic Doppler velocimetry. We characterized the vertical velocity distributions for sinking, hovering, and swimming modes in still water and calculated the average larval behavioral velocity in turbulence. In still water, young larvae had more positive (upward) velocities than old larvae, and both stages had more positive velocities in light than in dark. In turbulence, the mean larval vertical velocity varied from positive at low dissipation rates to negative at dissipation rates above a threshold of 8.3 £ 1022 cm2 s23. At this threshold, the Kolmogorov length scale (h ¼ 590mm) was two to three times the mean larval shell lengths (171–256mm), implying that turbulence is detectable even by larvae that are smaller than the smallest eddies. Responses to turbulence were unaffected by larval age or light conditions and contributed substantial behavioral variation. By sinking in strong turbulence, mussel larvae could increase their flux to the bed in energetic coastal flows, particularly over rough substrates like mussel beds. The response to turbulence by early-stage larvae will also affect their dispersal and may help larvae remain near coastal populations.Peer reviewedOriginally published in Limnology and Oceanography: Fluids & Environments (2011) and available via this link: http://lofe.dukejournals.org/content/1/120.full.pdfCopyright 2011 by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc

Larval responses to turbulence and temperature in a tidal inlet: Habitat selection by dispersing gastropods?

The definitive version was published in Journal of Marine Research 68 (2010): 153-188, doi:10.1357/002224010793079013.Marine larval dispersal is affected by hydrodynamic transport and larval behavior, but little is known about how behavior affects large-scale patterns of dispersal and recruitment. Intertidal habitats are characterized by strong and variable turbulence relative to shelf and pelagic waters, so larval responses to turbulence may affect both dispersal and habitat selection. This study combined observations and theoretical approaches to model gastropod larval responses to multiple physical variables in a well-mixed tidal inlet. Physical measurements and larvae were collected in July 2004 in Barnstable Harbor, Massachusetts (USA). Physical measurements were incorporated in an advection-diffusion model where larval vertical velocity is a function of turbulence dissipation rate, temperature, and the temperature gradient. Modeled larval distributions were fitted to observed concentration profiles by maximum likelihood to estimate larval behavioral velocity (swimming or sinking) as a function of environmental conditions. These quantitative behavior estimates were used to test hypotheses about behavioral differences among groups and to assess the relative impact of different cues on overall larval behavior. Larvae of five common gastropod species from different coastal habitats reacted most strongly to turbulence but had genus-specific responses to environmental cues. Larvae of a species from tidal inlets (the mud snail Nassarius obsoletus) had near-zero velocities under calmer conditions and sank in strong turbulence. In contrast, larvae from exposed beach habitats (Crepidula spp. and Anachis spp.) sank in weak turbulence and swam up in strong turbulence, with additional responses to temperature and temperature gradient. Larval responses also differed between small and large size classes and between flood and ebb tides. Behavior of mud snail larvae would contribute to retention inside the inlet and near adult habitats, whereas behavior of beach snail larvae would contribute to rapid export from muddy inlets lacking suitable adult habitats.This work was funded by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Coastal Ocean

Männertherapie – Überlegungen zu einem Integrativen therapeutischen Angebot von Männern für Männer
No full textIn der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Aspekte eines integrativen therapeutischen Angebots von Männern für Männer erörtert. Die soziale Konstruktion von Geschlecht wird dargestellt und Wissensstände über Diskurse der Männerbewegung und Männerforschung werden zusammengetragen. Anhand des Konzepts der Lebensbewältigung werden Besonderheiten männlicher Sozialisation erörtert. Für die Schilderung wesentlicher Merkmale männlicher Identität wird das Identitätskonzept der Integrativen Therapie mit den 5 Säulen der Identität verwendet. Nach Überlegungen zu geschlechtsbezogenen Aspekten in einer Therapie wird das Vorarlberger Modell für ein Männerberatungsangebot beschrieben.In this thesis aspects of an integrative therapeutic offering by men for men are discussed. The social construction of gender is shown and knowledge about discourses of men’s movement and men’s studies are compiled. Characteristics of male socialization are discussed by the concept of male coping with life. The identity concept of Integrative Therapy with the 5 columns of identity is used for the description of basic characters of male identity. After considerations about gender concerned aspects in therapy the Vorarlberg concept for men’s counseling is presented.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/18-2017-fuchs-b-k-maennertherapie-ueberlegungen-zu-einem-integrativen-therapeutischen-angebot/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Fuchs, H., & Fuchs A. (2025). Introduction to Transformative Intelligence Theory: An Integrative Framework for Human Capability Development in Complex Adaptive Systems. Gaia, 1(3 – The Health Spectrum), 134-194
No full textContemporary global challenges necessitate a fundamental reconceptualization of human intelligence and capability development. This paper presents Transformative Intelligence Theory (TIT), an integrative framework synthesizing the Multi-Dimensional Functional Model (Fuchs, 2024) and Fluid Reality Theory (Fuchs, 2025a; Fuchs, 2025b) to address critical limitations in traditional intelligence paradigms. Unlike existing models that conceptualize Intelligence as a fixed cognitive capacity, TIT defines Intelligence as a meta-systemic, dynamic process of boundary negotiation between perception and functioning within complex adaptive environments. Transformative Intelligence is operationally defined as the meta-systemic capacity to identify, understand, and modify the dynamic interactions between the perception of Reality and functioning within it, enabling adaptive and generative responses to complex, changing environments. This definition fundamentally differs from traditional intelligence theories by emphasizing transformation over adaptation, process over product, and integration over domain specificity. The framework operationalizes through four core components that emerge from the integration of both foundational models: perceptual flexibility, which means meta-cognitive awareness enabling perspective shifts across meaning-making systems; adaptive functional capability, including contextual modulation of responses across six functional domains; ecological engagement regarding systems-level understanding and influence capacity, and transformative creativity defined as novel solution generation that transforms constraints into opportunities. These components function through recursive feedback loops mathematically formalized as R = I × E × C, or as the Conciseness Equation (Fuchs et al., 2025) ∂C/∂t=k*(I*E - a*C), where the Reality emerges in our Conciseness from the dynamic interaction of Imagination, Environment, and Connection quality
