A new species of bannerwing damselfly, Polythore albistriata sp. nov. (Odonata: Polythoridae)
Authors: Bota-Sierra Cornelio , Sánchez Herrera Melissa
Published: July 2023

The traditional method of classifying the twenty-one species within the South American genus Polythore has been relying on wing color patterns and male genital ligula shape. However, recent molecular research has shown that wing color patterns can vary significantly within some species, making it an insufficient means of species diagnosis by itself in some cases. In this study, we employ a combined approach of morphological and molecular data to describe a new Polythore species found in the southeastern Colombian Andes. Our analysis includes detailed illustrations and pictures of diagnostic features, haplotype networks for two barcode genes, COX1 and NADH I, a distribution map, and a brief discussion of the conservation status of the species. We found wing color pattern, male genital ligula morphology, and NADH I barcode sequences to be sufficiently diagnostic to identify the species as new. Our results highlight the importance of integrating multiple data sources for accurate species identifications and descriptions in this genus.

Üroloji asistanlarının COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde karşılaştıkları sorunların bir değerlendirmesini yapmak ve bu sorunlara yönelik önerileri sunmak ve vurgulamak için bu çalışmayı planladık.
Üç deneyimli ürolog tarafından 'COVID-19', 'SARS-Cov-2', 'Üroloji', 'İhtisas' ve 'Eğitim' anahtar kelimeleri ile PubMed veritabanı araması yapıldı. PRISMA protokolü kullanılarak tarama, uygunluk ve dahil edilme kriterleri belirlendi. Dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 42 çalışma (%70) bu incelemeye alındı. Bu çalışmaların türleri şunlardı: 23 orijinal makale, 8 editöryal makale, 5 editöre mektup, 4 inceleme ve 2 yorum. Orijinal makalelerin neredeyse tamamı anket çalışmasıydı ve COVID-19'un ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkisine ve üroloji asistanlarının eğitim programlarına odaklandığı görüldü.
Pandemi sonrası dönemin bilinmeyen başlangıç zamanı ve bilinmeyen koşulları nedeniyle üroloji asistanları hazırlıklı olmalı ve sanal eğitim yöntemlerini daha fazla kullanmaya başlamalıdır ve üroloji uzmanlık programı yöneticileri, geleneksel yöntemler yerine yeni öğretim yöntemlerine daha fazla önem vermelidir.

Giriş: Miyokard enfarktüsü tablosu ile başvuran COVID-19 hastalarında mortalite ve morbidite verileri hastaların uzun süreli takiplerinin olmaması nedeniyle kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmada bu hasta grubunun mortalite prediktörlerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntemler: COVID-19 enfeksiyonu mevcut olan ve yüksek riskli miyokard enfarktüsü nedeniyle invaziv koroner anjiyografi yapılan 80 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Tüm hastalar ilk başvurudan sonra en az 1 yıl süre ile takip edilmiştir. Hastaların mortalite verileri ve medikal kayıtları hastanenin medikal kayıt programından retrospektif olarak alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Otuz dört hastanın (%42,5) ilk başvurudan sonraki bir yıllık takipte öldüğü izlendi. Bu hastaların 30’u (%88,2) ilk başvurudaki hastane yatışı sonlanmadan öldü. Medyan kapı balon süresi 107,5 dk (17-1278) olarak izlendi. 49 hastaya (%61,25) invaziv koroner anjiyografi sırasında perkütan koroner girişim uygulandı. Yüksek ferritin ve LDH seviyelerinin mortalite ile bağımsız olarak ilişkili olduğu izlendi (OR: 1,006, CI %95: 1,001-1,01, p: 0,011; OR:1,005, CI %95: 1,001-1,009, p:0,025; sırasıyla). Ferritin için kestirim değeri 211 mcg/L (AUC:0.762, sensitivite: 73.5%, spesifite 63%, p:<0.001) ve LDH için kestirim değeri 492 U/L (AUC:0.863, sensitivite: 79.4%, spesifite 80.4%, p:<0.001) olarak hesaplandı.
Sonuç: İnvaziv medikal tedaviye rağmen miyokard enfarktüsü gelişen COVID-19 hastalarında mortalite oranı yüksektir. Çalışmada artmış LDH ve ferritin seviyelerinin mortalite prediktörü olduğu izlenmiştir.

Üst ekstremitelerin arteryel anatomisi ve yaygın varyasyonları hakkında doğru bilgi, ekstremite cerrahları için çok önemlidir.
Kalıcı medyan arter, derin palmar arkın oluşumuna katılan radyal ve ulnar arterlerin ön koldan itibaren disseksiyonu sırasında gözlendi. Disseksiyon sırasında yüzeyel palmar kemerin oluşmadığı, bifid median sinirin ve ulnar arterden köken alan kalıcı medyan arterin olduğu bilateral bir olgu ile karşılaştık. Bu çalışmada, kalıcı medyan arterin insidansı %17 idi. Kalıcı medyan arter ve ulnar arterlerin, kadavranın her iki ekstremitesinde de bir kemer oluşturmadan avuç içini beslediği belirlendi. Bu örnek bir radyo-mediyo-ulnar tip-tamamlanmamış yüzeysel palmar kemer oluşumunu gösterdi. Ulnar arter, diğer damarlara göre hemen hemen tüm kadavralarda avuç içi baskın damardı.
Avuç içi vasküler paternindeki varyasyonların bilinmesi, rekonstrüktif cerrahide klinik ve plastik cerrahlara önemli ölçüde yardımcı olacaktır, çünkü böyle bir arter karpal tünel sendromu gibi istenmeyen etkiler ortaya çıkabilir.
The capitalization of geomantic attributes: evidence from the housing market in Guangzhou [L’effetto di capitalizzazione degli attributi geomantici sul valore di mercato degli immobili: il caso del mercato immobiliare di Guangzhou]
Authors: Li Xiaojing , D’Alpaos Chiara , Bragolusi Paolo , Fan Gangzhi
Published: July 2023

This study examines empirically the impacts of geomantic attributes on housing prices in Guangzhou. Using second-hand housing transaction data from one Guangzhou’s largest second-hand transaction agency, we construct a hedonic price model to analyze the determinants of housing purchase behavior. We find that unfavorable geomantic attributes, such as proximity to graveyard, funeral parlor, hospital, slaughterhouse, and highway, have significant negative effects on housing prices. However, favorable geomantic attribute close to the Pearl River has a significant positive impact on housing prices. Lucky floor numbers and lucky address numbers are also found to be capitalized into housing prices. Moreover, we find that the demand for housing improvement as housing purchase motivation is an important channel to determine which of geomantic attributes are unfavorable when residents have higher living requirements ll presente contributo esamina, attraverso un’analisi em- pirica, l’effetto degli attributi geomantici sui prezzi degli immobili a destinazione residenziale a Guangzhou. A partire dalle informazioni relative alle transazioni di immobili non di nuova costruzione di una delle più grandi agenzie di compravendite immobiliari i Guangzhou, è stato sviluppato e validato un modello di valutazione secondo l’approccio dei prezzi edonici per analizzare i fattori che determinano i comportamenti e le strategie di acquisto degli acquirenti di immobili a destinazione residenziale. I risultati indicano che gli attributi geo- mantici sfavorevoli, come la vicinanza a cimiteri, pompe funebri, ospedali, macelli e autostrade, hanno un effetto negativo sul prezzo delle abitazioni. Viceversa, gli attributi geomantici favorevoli, come la vicinanza al fiume Pearl, hanno un effetto positivo sul prezzo delle abitazioni. Similmente, emerge, ceteris paribus, una disponibilità a pagare un prezzo maggiore per immobili che siano ubicati a un livello di piano o a un civico espressione di numeri considerati fortunati nella cultura tradizionale cinese, come ad esempio il numero 8. Dalle analisi emerge, inoltre, che in particolare alcuni attributi geomantici influenzano in maniera determinante la do- manda di alloggi di migliore qualità espressa da acquirenti che abbiano esigenze e aspettative più elevate.
Google Translate for Writing in an Online English Class: Vietnamese Learners’ Perceptions and Performances
Authors: Van Nguyen My
Published: July 2023

The present study aimed to explore learners’ perceptions while using Google Translate (GT) during online English-Writing lessons and to evaluate its effectiveness on learners’ English writing skills. Online questionnaires and individual interviews were used to collect self-reported opinions from 24 Vietnamese students. Learner writing samples from the 12-week online session were also collected in order to identify possible improvements in writing. The findings revealed that the learners generally reported a positive effect on their writing from using Google Translate. In contrast, textual analysis of learners’ writing samples indicated that although there were slight improvements in their writing skills, problems still exist. According to an error analysis that was conducted, negative transfer of structures from the students’ L1 (Vietnamese) accounted for most of the lexical and syntactic errors identified. The findings demonstrate that GT is a useful support tool for teaching English writing. The contrastive analysis in the present study contributes to language interference studies and discussions on bilingual and multilingual education in the Vietnamese context.

More than words: a study on the visibility of hand gestures in public spaces
Authors: Kopij Kamil , Głomb Kaja , Popławski Szymon
Published: July 2023

Hand gestures play an important role in human communication. Although the study of their repertoires and roles for past communities is a popular field of research, there has been no attempt so far to study their visibility during public events. The aim of this study was to determine the maximum number of people who could see hand gestures well enough to understand their meaning. Using gestures taken from ancient Roman rhetorical treatises, which we divided into three classes related to the detail of the gestures (fingers, hand, arm, or arms), we conducted a series of experiments to determine the maximum distance from which each class of gestures could be seen. We used the results, including regression analysis, to conduct visibility analyses for two case studies: one on the rostra on the Late Republican Forum Romanum in Rome; and the other on Pyramid No 3 in the centre of Late-Classical Mayan Tikal. We used the calculation of the areas where gestures were visible to estimate crowd sizes by drawing on crowd behaviour observation during contemporary public gatherings. They show not only how many people could have potentially seen the gestures, but also what percentage of the theoretically available space could have been occupied by people who had the potential to see them. According to the findings, only a little under half (44.8%) of the maximum possible audience were able to detect all types of gestures (various levels of detail) at the LR Roman Forum, while at Pyramid No 3 in Tikal, just a mere 16.7% were able to do so. We believe that the results presented and the methodology used can be applied to analyse any public space, regardless of place and time, thus providing a valuable tool to comprehend past public assemblies.
Velhos livros, novos papéis: os Desvalidos, memória e história do mutualismo negro no século XIX
Authors: Leite Douglas Guimarães
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo trabalha a história de duas instituições de ajuda mútua criadas por indivíduos negros livres e libertos, na primeira metade do século XIX, na cidade de Salvador, apresentando novas evidências de sua especificidade histórica. Explorando a recente publicação de dois importantes livros de registros da Irmandade dos Desvalidos (1832), o texto analisa os termos do conflito que em fins da década de 1840 dividiu a confraria, criando a Sociedade Protetora dos Desvalidos (1851) e abrindo caminho para importantes transformações no mutualismo negro do século XIX na Bahia. Apoiado em novas evidências, o trabalho discute como a surpreendente ausência desse conflito na historiografia sobre o tema pode ser explicada como uma das consequências do próprio conflito, que, ao separar as instituições, impôs à sua documentação os azares da transmissão ao longo do tempo. Pretende-se demonstrar, por fim, como o “jogo dos livros” dos Desvalidos pode funcionar como uma chave de explicação para formas particulares assumidas pela leitura da história e pela construção da memória sobre os Desvalidos desde meados do século XX.

Comparison Between Convolutional Neural Network CNN and SVM in Skin Cancer Images Recognition
Authors: Hadi Zaid Ghazi , Ajel Ahmed R. , Al-Dujaili Ayad Q.
Published: July 2023

As compared with benign, the common human malignancy of skin cancer can be diagnosed visually starting from clinical screening and ending with histopathological examination. Accurate automatic classification of skin lesion images is a great challenge as the image features are very close in these images. In this paper we used two methods for image recognition. The first method was carried out with Convolution neural networks (CNN) that promise to provide a potential classifier for skin lesions. This work presents a dermatologist-level classification of skin cancer by using residual network (ResNet-50) as a deep learning convolutional neural network (DLCNN) that maps images to class labels. It presents a classifier with a single CNN to automatically recognize benign and malignant skin images. As for the second method, we used the Support Vector Machine. Which is a supervised learning algorithm and it is used for classification of data for the different classes based on a separating hyperplane. The network inputs are only disease labels and image pixels. About 320 clinical images of the different diseases have been used to train the CNN. The model performance has been tested with untrained images from the two labels. This model identifies the most common skin cancers and can be updated with a new unlimited number of images. The DLCNN was trained by the ResNet-50 model and it showed good classification of the benign and malignant skin categories. The ResNet-50 as a DLCNN has achieved a significant recognition rate of more than 97% on the testing images, which proves that the benign and malignant lesion skin images are properly classified. Support vector machine (SVM) classifier for the classification of skin cancer, for the feature extraction step achieved 86.9% accuracy. This means in CNN; we had more accuracy with 11%. These results were attained using MATLAB.

Authors: Shareef Hashim Hasan , Hussain Ammar A.
Published: July 2023

To join sheets of commercial pure titanium grade 2 and nylon 6 polymer, friction lap spot welding (FLSW) was proposed. The titanium sheets were drilled to create a 3.5mm diameter hole, which was then threaded with M4. In this work, the effects of the process parameters on joint quality was investigated. The tool's rotating speed was 710, 900, 1120 RPM, the tool's plunging rate was 0.23, 0.75, 1.3mm/sec, and the tool's diameter was 8,10, and 12 mm. All of the specimens were successfully joined, according to the results. The specimens were fully dislocated from the titanium pre-hole after shearing the polymer at the lap joint region. The Ti-nylon 6 joints had shear forces ranging from 597 to 864N. The axial load measured during the joining operation is found to be 199 kg. The joint shear force was most affected by the rotating speed. The two metals were connected by a mechanical interlock at a micron-wide interface line, according to the microstructure analysis.

Interventions to reduce discrimination against the elderly for healthy ageing in Kenya
Authors: Nyangena Emily Moraa
Published: July 2023

This article intended to capture interventions to reduce discrimination against the elderly for healthy ageing in Kenya. Ageism is a form of discrimination that is based on age. It can manifest in many ways, including negative stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Ageism can have a significant impact on the lives of older people, leading to social isolation, decreased self-esteem, and poorer health outcomes. There are a number of interventions that have been shown to be effective in reducing ageism. These interventions include: Educational interventions: These interventions aim to teach people about ageism and its negative effects. They can be delivered in a variety of settings, such as schools, workplaces, and community organizations. Intergenerational contact: This type of intervention brings together people of different ages to interact with each other. This can help to break down stereotypes and promote positive attitudes towards older people. Policy changes: These interventions can help to reduce ageism by changing the way that older people are treated in society. For example, laws that protect older people from discrimination can help to create a more age-friendly environment. The findings of this study suggest that interventions to reduce ageism can be effective in improving the lives of older people. These interventions can help to reduce negative stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, and they can promote positive attitudes towards older people. The study recommends that researchers must focus on capturing how ageism manifests in society and propose the best ways of curbing the problem so that older people in the society can experience healthy ageing.

Published: July 2023

Melezleme ıslahı yönteminde en önemli aşamalar çiçeklerin izolasyonu ve emaskulasyonu aşamalarıdır. Bu çalışmada, ayva türünde emaskulasyon ve izolasyonun polinasyon üzerine etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla 3 farklı polinasyon yönteminin 6 farklı ayva genotipinde meyve tutumuna olan etkinliği ile melezleme çalışmalarında kullanımının gerekliliği tespit edilmiştir. En yüksek meyve tutum oranı % 86,06 ile Ege 22 çeşidinin C yönteminden elde edilirken genel olarak incelendiğinde yine en yüksek meyve tutum oranları bu yönteminde belirlenmiştir. B yönteminde meyve tutum oranları % 14,25 - 43,50 arasında bulunmuştur. Emaskulasyon yapılan çiçeklerin açıkta serbest tozlanmaya bırakıldığı A yönteminde arı ve tozlayıcı böcek faaliyetleri görülmesine rağmen sadece Genotip 2764’de % 1,71 oranında meyve tutumu gerçekleşmiştir ve bu oran melezleme çalışmalarını riske atmayacak düzeyde olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, ayva da yapılacak olan melezleme çalışmalarında çiçek, dal veya ağaç izolasyonunun yapılmasının gerekli olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: July 2023

Визначено сутність «курдської проблеми» на Близькому Сході. Проаналізовано інтегральні та партикулярні тенденції в сучасному курдознавстві. Досліджено геополітичне положення етнічного Курдистану у фокусі близькосхідної політики зацікавлених держав між першим і другим поділами: 1514 р. ‒ між Сефевідським Іраном та Османською імперією; 1918‒1920 рр. ‒ між державами Антанти ‒ Великою Британією та Францією ‒ за підсумками Першої світової війни. Проаналізовано «східне питання» як фактор міжнародних відносин ХІХ ст., що перетворив етнічний Курдистан на арену протистояння Англії, Франції, Росії, Австрії, Німеччини. Визначено роль «нафтового питання» після Першої світової війни, що вплинуло на другий поділ Курдистану між Великою Британією і Францією. Зроблено висновки про те, що близькосхідна політика зацікавлених держав призвела до гальмування державотворчих процесів у Курдистані, посилення партикулярних тенденцій у курдському національному русі та загострення «курдського питання» після краху імперій.
Sensitivity of Lewis lung carcinoma cells to glycolysis and glutaminolysis inhibition
Authors: Kolesnik Denis , Stepanov Yurii , Prokhorova Iryna
Published: July 2023

Awareness of the key role of metabolic reprogramming in tumor cell progression has promoted the exploration of approaches to inhibit glycolysis to develop novel antitumor therapy. Highly promising in clinical terms is sodium oxamate, an inhibitor of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, which is a critical regulator of glycolysis in tumor cells. Therefore, studying the mechanisms of sodium oxamate action is a relevant issue in modern oncology. The purpose of this work was to examine the impact of oxamate on the survival and proliferative activity of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells under glutamine deficiency. The conducted research has shown that LLC cells exhibit heterogeneity in their sensitivity to the cytostatic/cytotoxic effects of oxamate: approximately 65% of cells are sensitive to its cytostatic/cytotoxic action, while 35% are resistant. In sensitive cells, sodium oxamate exerts a significant cytotoxic effect by activating apoptosis and, probably, by inhibiting the rate of glucose consumption and lactate production by tumor cells. Glutamine deficiency in the nutrient medium significantly increases the cytotoxic effect of sodium oxamate. No significant stimulation of reactive oxygen species production by tumor cells was observed under the influence of oxamate. It was found that sodium oxamate is capable of inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest in LLC cells in the proliferation of Lewis lung carcinoma cells.

The purpose of the work is to investigate changes in survival rates, proliferative potential, glucose metabolism and redox metabolism in metastatically active cells of Lewis lung carcinoma during the transition from anchorage-dependent to anchorage-independent growth. It was shown that the transition from anchorage-dependent growth to anchorage-independent growth is accompanied by a considerable intensification of glucose consumption rate. An increase in glucose consumption during anchorage-independent growth does not cause stimulation of proliferative activity. An increase in glucose consumption and a decrease in proliferative activity indicates a redirection of glucose to the synthesis of enzymes of the antioxidant system in order to prevent apoptotic death during anchorage-independent growth.
Розробка проекту роботи штучного серця для підтримки гемодинаміки та складових серцево-судинної системи
Authors: Сербіна Валерія , Манічева Наталя
Published: July 2023

Серцево-судинні захворювання є серйозною проблемою в сучасному світі і призводять до значних медичних ускладнень та смертності. Традиційні методи лікування, включаючи серцеві пересадження, мають свої обмеження, такі як обмежена доступність органів-донорів та ризик відторгнення. Однак, розробка штучного серця може стати революційним кроком у лікуванні серцевих захворювань та підтримці гемодинаміки. Серце є одним з найважливіших органів людського тіла, яке забезпечує кровообіг і переносить кисень та поживні речовини до всіх органів та тканин. Цей проект спрямований на розробку штучного серця, яке забезпечує ефективну підтримку гемодинаміки та функціонує як заміна для ослабленого серця. Процес розробки передбачає детальне вивчення функціональних вимог серцево-судинної системи та розробку прототипу штучного серця. Штучне серце може бути варіантом для пацієнтів, які не можуть отримати трансплантацію серця з-за відсутності донорського органу або інших медичних протипоказань. Однак, штучні серця ще не отримали широкого застосування у клінічній практиці, і вони потребують подальшого дослідження та розробки. Розробка штучного серця пов'язана з гемодинамікою, тому що штучне серце має відповідати фізіологічним потребам організму, забезпечуючи достатній потік крові до всіх органів та тканин. При розробці штучного серця необхідно враховувати такі фактори, як розмір та форма серця, скорочення м'язів, здатність до адаптації до змін об'єму крові, властивості крові, опір судин та інші параметри, які впливають на гемодинаміку.

Desa Ensaid Panjang yang berada di Kecamatan Kelam Permai Kabupaten Sintang PropinsiKalimantan Barat adalah kawasan yang telah ditetapkan sebagai Desa Wisata dimana icon yang palingpenting di dalamnya yaitu rumah betang yang telah ditetapkan sebagai Cagar Budaya . Akan tetapi,kontradiktif dengan statusnya tersebut, pariwisata belum memberikan manfaat yang maksimal bagimasyarakat, baik dari aspek ekonomi, sosio-kultural maupun ekologis. Sejauh iniberdasarkan perspektiflokal, upaya untuk melibatkan komunitas setempat untukaktif mengelola pariwisata masih bersifat topdown,sporadis dan lintas sektoral. Pendekatan pembangunan pariwisata seperti ini tentu sajamemperkecil ruang gerak masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi secara lebih luas dan memiliki kontrol ataspengelolaan pariwisata. Sementara salah satu prasyarat untuk tercapainya pariwisata berkelanjutanadalah partisipasi aktif masyarakat lokal dalam keseluruhan proses pengembangan pariwisata, mulaidari perencanaan hingga implementasinya.

Abstract. Biological Particulate Matter or bioaerosol are a subset of atmospheric aerosol. They influence climate, air quality and health via several mechanisms which often are poorly understood. In particular, the quantitative study of possible relationship between bioaerosol viability and air quality or meteorological conditions is an open and relevant issue. The difficulty of retrieving such possible correlations by analyses of data collected during in-field campaigns, can benefit of targeted experiments conducted in well controlled conditions inside Atmospheric Simulation Chambers, ASCs. ChAMBRe (Chamber for Aerosol Modelling and Bio-aerosol Research) is an ASC in Genoa (Italy) designed and built to perform experimental research on bioaerosol. In this article we focus on bacteria viability. A multi-step protocol was developed and thoroughly tested: cultivation of a suitable bacteria population, nebulization and injection in the chamber of viable cells, exposure and monitoring of the viability variation inside ChAMBRe, hold at selected conditions, and finally incubation and counting of the concentration of viable bacteria. The whole procedure showed a reproducibility at the 20 % level when ChAMBRe is kept in a reference “baseline” condition. This figure quantifies the protocol sensitivity as well to changes in viability when bacteria are exposed in other (e.g., polluted) conditions. First results showing a viability reduction observed exposing the E. coli strain to NOX concentrations and solar irradiation are presented and discussed. Present results pave the way to systematic studies aimed at the definition of dose-effect relationship for several bacteria strain at atmospheric pollutants.
Reviews and syntheses: Sediment-stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr

Abstract. The evolution of reefs over geologic time is diverse and includes a range of different builders. An understanding of the consequences of natural and anthropogenically-driven sediment influx to reef systems is crucial to planning future protection and mitigation strategies. Most reef systems are associated with clear water settings, however, many reef communities have evolved in turbid water environments stressed by high rates of sediment influx. Conventionally, these mixed carbonate-clastic environments have been considered unfavourable to reef organisms. Utilising case-studies of sediment-stressed reefs from the Devonian to Recent, we clearly demonstrate that reef organisms can survive, and even thrive, under the influence of clastic sediment influx. Ten case-studies were selected on the basis of: i) the presence of a mixed carbonate-clastic matrix, and ii) the existence of a coral framework. For each example, the system was characterised in terms of sediment input, organism growth forms (with a focus on corals) and the overall reef morphology. The host sediment from Cenozoic reefs was found to be typically better-described than that within Paleozoic and Mesozoic communities. This may be due to the closer affinity between Cenozoic communities and recent species when compared to more ancient systems. The same reasoning accounts for the paucity of data describing the internal structure of many fossil reefs, a feature also related to outcrop quality. This study clearly demonstrates that, while reefs in sediment-impacted environments are common, there is no general developmental model that can be applied to all reefs. No relationship was identified between the nature of the reef builders, the character of the siliciclastic component and the reef structure. We demonstrate that, in the majority of cases, the clastic matrix within reefs, both ancient and recent, is insufficiently described – this inhibits understanding of mixed carbonate-clastic reef systems and significantly compromising forecasts of future reef development.
