Abstract
European forests are threatened by increasing numbers of invasive pests and pathogens. Over the past century, Lecanosticta acicola, a foliar pathogen predominantly of Pinus spp., has expanded its range globally, and is increasing in impact. Lecanosticta acicola causes brown spot needle blight, resulting in premature defoliation, reduced growth, and mortality in some hosts. Originating from southern regions of North American, it devastated forests in the USA's southern states in the early twentieth century, and in 1942 was discovered in Spain. Derived from Euphresco project 'Brownspotrisk,' this study aimed to establish the current distribution of Lecanosticta species, and assess the risks of L. acicola to European forests. Pathogen reports from the literature, and new/ unpublished survey data were combined into an open-access geo-database (http://www.portalofforestpathology.com), and used to visualise the pathogen's range, infer its climatic tolerance, and update its host range. Lecanosticta species have now been recorded in 44 countries, mostly in the northern hemisphere. The type species, L. acicola, has increased its range in recent years, and is present in 24 out of the 26 European countries where data were available. Other species of Lecanosticta are largely restricted to Mexico and Central America, and recently Colombia. The geo-database records demonstrate that L. acicola tolerates a wide range of climates across the northern hemisphere, and indicate its potential to colonise Pinus spp. forests across large swathes of the Europe. Preliminary analyses suggest L. acicola could affect 62% of global Pinus species area by the end of this century, under climate change predictions. Although its host range appears slightly narrower than the similar Dothistroma species, Lecanosticta species were recorded on 70 host taxa, mostly Pinus spp., but including, Cedrus and Picea spp. Twenty-three, including species of critical ecological, environmental and economic significance in Europe, are highly susceptible to L. acicola, suffering heavy defoliation and sometimes mortality. Variation in apparent susceptibility between reports could reflect variation between regions in the hosts' genetic make-up, but could also reflect the significant variation in L. acicola populations and lineages found across Europe. This study served to highlight significant gaps in our understanding of the pathogen's behaviour. Lecanosticta acicola has recently been downgraded from an A1 quarantine pest to a regulated non quarantine pathogen, and is now widely distributed across Europe. With a need to consider disease management, this study also explored global BSNB strategies, and used Case Studies to summarise the tactics employed to date in Europe.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the processes and factors that influenced implementation and impact of a home-based bimanual training program in children with unilateral cerebral palsy aged 2 through 7 years. METHODS The program encompassed bimanual task-specific training (3.5 hours/week for 12 weeks) adopting either implicit or explicit motor learning. A therapist and remedial educationalist coached parents. This mixed methods study included course attendance monitoring, questionnaires, registration form, video analysis, interviews, focus group discussion, and drop-out monitoring. RESULTS Fourteen families participated. The program was not fully implemented as intended. Parents positively experienced the training and were well able to provide it. The program was demanding for the children and time-consuming for parents. Several components positively contributed to the program: task-analysis, instructional videos, and coaching by a therapist and remedial educationalist. Several modifications to the program were proposed. CONCLUSION Home-based bimanual training forms a demanding but promising therapeutic approach with potential for optimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to provide an overview of the number, domains and priority of needs as expressed by parents in supporting participation of their school-aged child with a physical disability. Additionally, this study investigated whether the number of needs within each domain is related to the child's gross motor function level, parent's perceived own general health, family socio-economic status and family type. METHOD A cross-sectional study with a total of 146 participants (84.9% mothers) who completed a survey including the Family Needs Inventory - Paediatric Rehabilitation, the Gross Motor Function Classification System Family Report Questionnaire, the General Health Questionnaire and a demographic questionnaire. A need has been operationalized as 'a family's, parent's or other family member's expressed desire for information, services and supports related to their family'. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were applied. RESULTS Parents (n = 146; response rate 27%) varied in the number of expressed needs (range 0-124; mean = 35.9; median = 30; SD = 25.6). Highest mean percentage scores were found for the domains 'Laws, regulations and fees' (36%), 'Leisure time' (35.6%) and 'Aids, adaptations, facilities and resources' (33.8%). Seven single needs were expressed by 50% or more of the parents. All domains of needs showed a positive correlation with perceived parental general health. The domains 'Laws, regulations and fees', 'Day care & school', 'Emotional and mental support' and 'Raising my child' correlated negatively with family socio-economic status; and child's gross motor function level correlated positively with the domains 'Aids, adaptations, facilities and resources', 'Practical support at home' and 'Leisure time'. CONCLUSIONS As parents have a major influence on participation of children with a physical disability, meeting their individual needs should become an objective for service providers and policy makers. Family-centred service might be more effective by putting a greater emphasis on changing the environment.

Abstract
Objective: To assess construct validity, test—retest reliability and inter-interviewer reliability of the intensity dimension of the Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) for children with and without physical disabilities in the Netherlands. Subjects: In total, 232 children aged 6—18 years (110 male, 122 female) participated. Seventy-four children with various physical disabilities and 158 without a disability. Design: Participants completed the CAPE and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. In addition, parents of 142 children were interviewed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and the Family Environment Scale. For 71 children test— retest reliability and for 60 children inter-interviewer reliability were assessed. Validity was examined by assessing differences in participation intensity in children with disabilities versus without a physical disability, boys versus girls, and younger versus older children. In addition, 13 hypotheses regarding participation, child and family variables were examined. Results: Validity of the CAPE was supported by significant differences in participation for subgroups. Participation differed significantly in children with and without disabilities. Girls participated more in all activities. Older children participated more in social activities and self-improvement activities, younger children participated more in recreational activities. Validity of the CAPE was further supported with significant correlation coefficients in 8 out of 13 hypotheses. Both test—retest and inter-interviewer reliability were good to excellent. Conclusions: The findings indicate that the Dutch language version of the CAPE is a reliable and valid instrument to measure participation in recreation and leisure activities for children with and without physical disabilities aged 6—18 years.
