Visual Analytics for Regional Economic Environment Factors Based on a Dashboard Design
Authors: Zuo Chenyu , Ding Linfang , Meng Liqiu
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Economic environment is vital for commercial investment, city planning and company strategy planning in urban areas. Mastering the economical trend may help the entrepreneurs, government officers and individuals in their decision-making process. In this study, we explore multiple geo-economic datasets using visual analytics methods for understanding the economic environment. More specifically, we user time-series Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data as an economic indicator of economic development and land use data to support the spatial analysis at a refined geographic scale. The spatiotemporal patterns of the regional economic environment are revealed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The work has a three-fold contributions: (1) we apply a grid-based spatial interpolation model to derive GDP values at a file granularity based on land use data; (2) we design a novel interactive dashboard for the GDP data exploration, which serves as a visual analytical tool between data and users; (3) we combine quantitative analysis with visualizations to strengthen the qualitative analysis. The feasibility of visual analytics methods and the dashboard design are tested in one of the most developed regions, Jiangsu Province, China. Both expected and unexpected economical patterns were extracted.

Abstract. Since UN announced 17 SDGs in 2015, many countries around the world have been endeavouring to promote SDGs towards building a sustainable future. Given the disparity of the regional development, national government is suggested to establish localised sustainable vision. Drawing on UN SDGs with targets and corresponding indicators, meanwhile considering local circumstances and sustainable vision, government further seeks to establish localised SDGs with related targets and indicators. Meanwhile, under the digital era, digital technologies have been extensively employed as the smart tool in many fields nowadays, and Geographic Information System (GIS) has been developed as the platform to visualise the SDGs progress in UN and many countries. On the above basis, this paper further demonstrates Taiwan’s efforts to establish localised SDGs, and develop National Geographic Information System (NGIS) to implement the sustainable development in Taiwan, monitor the SDGs progress, and provide feedback to policymakers to further make strategic policies in a top-down approach, meanwhile develop Community Geographic Information System (CGIS) to encourage stakeholders and citizens to harness the concept of CGIS to proactively create and tell their own stories and promote Regional Revitalisation policy in a bottom-up approach. Moreover, GIS could not function well without appropriate data management including massive data and open data policy, well-built digital infrastructure, as well as the selected “right data” and cyber security. Hence, with appropriate data management, GIS as a smart tool could facilitate the promotion and implementation of SDGs in an intuitive manner towards shaping a smart and sustainable future.
An Analysis of Movement by Visualizing Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of Logdata
Authors: Cho Nahye , Kang Youngok
Published: July 2019

Abstract. In this study, we visualized and analyzed log data in order to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of “moving” and “staying activities”. As a case study, we collected and preprocessed GPS log data generated by students participating in field activities. STP (Space-Time Path) was used to visualize movement logs. “Movement” and staying places were distinguished through density-based clustering, and the time “stayed” and activities performed at staying places were examined. The problem of over-measuring time at some staying places was examined. To resolve this, the 3D Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise (DBSCAN) was used to more accurately measure the time spent at staying places. We propose 3D DBSCAN as methodology to accurately measure spatiotemporal data. We believe this method will remain effective even as this data becomes more numerous.
Improvement suggestions for problems of hazard map from the viewpoint of color scheme
Authors: Endo Ryo , Nakano Takayuki
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Local governments often rely on hazard maps to plan for and respond to local natural disasters. These maps often rely on the use of many colors, but their exact color scheme and style differs in each area. As a result, we hypothesize that some users, specifically colorblind individuals, may have difficulty correctly understanding the information on some of these hazard maps. In this study, we test that hypothesis by conducting a survey of Japanese liquefaction hazard maps and their visual accessibility. To this end, we first undergo a survey of the color schemes used in these maps and investigate whether they are easily understood by people with colorblindness. We next specifically analyze several maps we deem particularly problematic in terms of color scheme and visibility, using these as case studies to discuss issues with accessibility and to summarize possible countermeasures. Our survey found that liquefaction hazard maps use one of three main color schemes: “diverging color scheme,” “Sequential cold colors,” or “sequential warm colors.” However, while there were issues with several maps, including difficulty reading the background map or correctly understanding the risk of liquefaction, these difficulties were not related to the color scheme used. To improve the accessibility of hazard maps, therefore, is necessary to create a unified manual that contains the following information: an examination of colors, the utilization of a universal design check tool, and the use of GIS vector data.
Using building types and demographic data to improve our understanding and use of urban sprawl simulation
Authors: Eslahi Mojtaba , El Meouche Rani , Ruas Anne
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Many studies, using various modeling approaches and simulation tools have been made in the field of urban growth. A multitude of models, with common or specific features, has been developed to reconstruct the spatial occupation and changes in land use. However, today most of urban growth techniques just use the historical geographic data such as urban, road and excluded maps to simulate the prospective urban maps. In this paper, adding buildings and population data as urban fabric factors, we define different urban growth simulation scenarios. Each simulation corresponds to policies that are more or less restrictive of space considering what these territories can accommodate as a type of building and as a global population.Among the urban growth modeling techniques, dynamic models, those based on Cellular Automata (CA) are the most common for their applications in urban areas. CA can be integrated with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to have a high spatial resolution model with computational efficiency. The SLEUTH model is one of the cellular automata models, which match the dynamic simulation of urban expansion and could be adapted to morphological model of the urban configuration and fabric.Using the SLEUTH model, this paper provides different simulations that correspond to different land priorities and constraints. We used common data (such as topographic, buildings and demography data) to improve the realism of each simulation and their adequacy with the real world. The findings allow having different images of the city of tomorrow to choose and reflect on urban policies.
Toponyms’ contribution to identity: The case study of Rabat (Morocco)
Authors: Alasli Malak
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Toponymy is a crucial component for cartographic representation of geographic information. Toponyms are essential building blocks of communities and identity. Place names are instruments of meaning to be attached to spaces to convert them into places. Among their functions, place names are said to be vectors of a transgenerational communication. They lift the veil on the relationship they hold with identity. They make us better understand the population’s means of expression, which will shed light on the identification they attribute to themselves. This study is an analysis of the relationship between place names and identity. It advances that place name holds more meaning than just a way to indicate a place. The nature of this investigation makes it possible for using case study as a qualitative research design. To ensure more valid conclusions, multiple data collection tools were adopted. Semi-structured interviews provide more flexibility and satisfy most of the research objectives. The other instrument used is a questionnaire for the purpose of eliciting more information from the respondents. The objective is to investigate the image displayed by the place names in use. The results point to the symbolic nature of place names in the construction of identities. In this regard, they are not mere signifiers of places and markers of destination but offer insight into the imposed identity and ideology on a landscape.
Seeing the Night Sky
Authors: Flynn Colin G. , Rice Matthew T.
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Clear, dark night skies are harder to see now than ever before, and it will only become more difficult as people continue to move into heavily light polluted and expanding urban areas. Dark Sky Parks offer a place where anyone can go to experience true dark skies, observing the stars and other celestial bodies in conditions unencumbered by artificial light and other sources of pollution. An atlas of these Dark Sky Parks will raise awareness about their existence and locations with the goal of education and outreach. Observatories may be utilized with a similar outcome; however, they need to be located in close proximity to large populations but far enough away to optimize dark skies. This research presents an approach for mapping Dark Sky Parks in the United States through the ongoing production of Seeing the Night Sky: An Atlas of Dark Sky Parks, and a related GIS location optimization model to identify potential observatory locations in a defined study area based on land availability, slope, presence of water/floodplain, proximity to populated places, light pollution, elevation, and transportation infrastructure.
Finding hotspots by location-direction-enabled photographs focusing on intersection of lines of sight
Authors: Fujita Hideyuki , Sagara Shota , Ohmori Tadashi , Shintani Takahiko
Published: July 2019

Abstract. We propose a method to extract a set of viewpoint locations and a set of locations of interest from a given set of location-direction-enabled photographs having embedded information regarding the location and direction of the shot. A viewpoint location is a location from which many photographs are taken. A location of interest is a location that that many photographs are taken of. When extracting locations of interest, a location-direction-enabled photograph does not embed the location of its subject; this is a technical difficulty. Therefore, we treat location-direction-enabled photographs as a point-with-directions and propose a novel clustering method for them. The evaluation results show that the method improves precision and recall for extracting locations of interest compared to an existing method. We also show that the proposed method can extract locations of interest that the existing method cannot extract.

Published: July 2019

Abstract. “Anticipando la Crecida” Project (Anticipating the Flood) is an interdisciplinary project which deals with flood risk management strategies associated with intense rain events and southeasterly wind « sudestadas » in socio-economical vulnerable urban areas in Argentina. The objective of the current study is to use local knowledge through participatory activities to strengthen the phase of risk awareness of an early warning system by using cartography as a work tool. For this purpose, eleven workshops with adults and children were held between 2014 and 2017 in Buenos Aires metropolitan area and the towns of San Antonio de Areco and Santa Lucía.By helping communities articulate and communicate spatial knowledge through workshops, enable the possibility to advocate for a change. That change result in a new direction on how the community and stakeholders can act towards a flood event. Analysing community-based maps of 85 adults, flood theoretical models can be evaluated and perhaps improved. Additionally, overall 287 students between 10 and 17 years old learned about cartography and interacted with poster maps during the workshops held in different schools.
Analysing tourism movements along the Danube river based on geotagged Flickr photography
Authors: Gede Mátyás , Kádár Bálint
Published: July 2019

Abstract. The Danube, connecting ten countries with large cities, national parks and other smaller destinations is a branded as integrated destination system of Europe. This paper examines the behaviour of visitors along the river by analysing the spatio-temporal distribution of geotagged photos shared on Flickr. The authors downloaded the metadata of more than 2 million geotagged photos along the river, and created a weighed movement graph based on the short time-interval user movements. The network analysis of the graph revealed the central integrating effect of the large capital cities on the entire system. Modularity analysis indicated 18 regional tourism clusters, which are connected into three major separated destination systems which have little relation between them and the isolated clusters of Lower Danube.This paper discusses the method of data aggregation as well as the tools used and created for visualising and analysing the data.
The changing use-cases of medium and large-scale geological maps in Hungary
Authors: Albert Gáspár
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Systematic geological mapping of a country is done mainly by state authorities often involving industrial and academic partners in the process. The resolution of the result is controlled primarily by the financial background of the firms and the scale of the available base maps. In Hungary the state authority for geological mapping was established in 1869. Prior to this, geological maps were aimed to give an overview of the country. Later the mapping campaigns focused on providing support for the industry, agriculture and civil engineering. The need for detailed maps of raw materials led to increased efforts and founding, but from the end of the 1970s the mining industry did not need more maps and the geological mapping campaigns lost their inertia. Parallel with this, in the Cold War era, the ban to use detailed topography on geological maps ruined the ergonomic value of the produced cartographic materials. After the collapse of the socialist economy in 1989 the state authority concentrated on digitizing the existing data instead of systematic geological mapping. Geological maps became an illustration of extensive contributed books about certain regions, which were made by scientists for scientist. Though, many of these medium-scale geological maps are now provided via internet, large-scale maps are not available. In the last decade, the use-case of the geological maps seem to be changing again. The geological information interests not only the professionals, but the larger audience as well. Also, the spreading of geotourism, created a need to compile geotourist maps.
Mobility routing optimization for physical accessibility and thermoregulation
Authors: Heuwinkel Jeffrey R. , Rice Matthew T. , Yu Manzhu , Curtin Kevin M. , Jacobson R. Daniel
Published: July 2019

Abstract. As routing applications become common on mobile devices, significant problems that remain are the sparse underlying data support for pedestrian-based routing and the inability to customize an existing route for specific individual accessibility needs. Cartographic researchers have repeatedly demonstrated methods for sophisticated modelling of infrastructure and have built routing portals and accessibility systems, yet these systems and their benefits have not been used widely, due to problems with underlying data support. This research reviews a few exemplar systems and presents a new routing study that uses the presence of overhead tree canopy to add a preference layer to individual routing. This allows individuals to plan and choose navigation pathways for purposes of body heat thermoregulation, a problem that exists for many individuals with mobility impairments, particularly those with spinal cord injuries. The study presented here demonstrates that successful routing underneath the tree canopy can be done in a way that only marginally increases the length of such routes. This study also demonstrates the need for detailed geographic data support for preference-based routing.
Maps of Literary Trails in Thessaloniki

Published: July 2019

Abstract. The work presented here is an approach on the subject of Literary Cartography, which deals with the topic of space in Literature as well as with the relationships that are formed between the literary and the real world. The aim of the work was to make the subject of Literary Cartography more widely known in the Greek academic circles. It was developed in the framework of a Diploma Thesis at the Laboratory of Cartography & Geographical Analysis (CartoGeoLab), Department of Rural and Surveying Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the Aristotle University (Thessaloniki, Greece) in collaboration with the School of Philology of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Aristotle University.Literary Cartography has a long tradition dating back to centuries ago, and yet it is only rather recently that researchers started using maps as tools to analyse and interpret pieces of literary work, as well as to reach conclusions which would have been impossible without the help of cartographic material. While maps were initially used solely as complimentary additions to books, like helping the reader with the visualization of the geography of a novel, this is starting to no longer be the case. With the advent of the digital age and the GIS technologies, cartographers are not just presented with new challenges but also with new opportunities to further research previously unexplored aspects of Cartography. With the rise of digital technologies, which can deal with the complexities of literary space, maps are no longer just descriptive tools, but they can be used as guides to reach new conclusions.The work resulted in a series of twelve (12) thematic maps, illustrating the literary geography of the works of ten Greek writers, whose stories take place in the city of Thessaloniki in Greece.
Use of 19th century cartographic source materials to study spatial changes of villages in Wielkopolska (Poland)
Authors: Oliskiewicz-Krzywicka Anna
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Wielkopolska as a geographical and historical land covers the area of the central and western part of Poland. Its territorial boundaries have changed over the centuries. In 1793, as a result of the second partition of Poland, Wielkopolska was incorporated into Prussia. From 1815 – after the re-occupation of Polish lands by Prussia – the Grand Principality of Poznań was established based on the decisions of the Vienna Congress. In its territory, the Prussian power gradually began to implement rural relations in the Prussian style. In 1823, the Prussian power started an agricultural land reform on the territory of the Grand Principality of Poznań. The reform involved the separation of peasant land from grange land and determined what peasant farms may be enfranchisemented and on what terms. The course of the reform was richly documented cartographically and descriptively. Cartographic material (plans, maps) as well as descriptive – enfranchisement recessions, to a large extent preserved to the present times and are stored in the State Archives in Poland. The paper presented the genesis and the method of these materials – how they were created, what they were about and what they contained. Spatial changes taking place in rural areas were significant. The layout of rural lands and the manner of land management underwent reconstruction. Buildings of peasants were often transferred to other places. New roads were created or their course changed. The agricultural reform initiated in 1823 had a huge impact on today's appearance of the Wielkopolska countryside.
Digital cartography for geoheritage: turning an analogue geotourist map into digital
Authors: Pál Márton , Albert Gáspár
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Geoheritage is the collective noun for the spectacular phenomena of geological and geomorphological landmarks that have to be preserved but also exploited by tourism in sustainable ways. The demonstration and preservation of these landmarks – the geosites – are often done in a geopark, an open area where they can be visited, and interesting facts can be learned of them through information boards. To provide visitors with an overall information of the geopark we need to create a geotourist map. This genre combines the characteristics of traditional tourist maps and geoscientific maps. Its purpose is to help tourists to navigate on the field and provide them with simplified geological content. Our mapping area is the eastern part of the Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark in Hungary. An increasing number of tourist use their electronic devices to navigate on the field. Because of the growing need for smart maps we have decided to create two digital editions of our paper map. An OpenLayers-based version is ideal for planning: webpage visitors can easily find hiking trails and roads to the geosites. We have also decided to create the first geopark-thematized Android app in Hungary. It contains major information about geopark events, concepts of geoheritage, visitable geosites and tour guides. The most important feature is the geotourist map that is similar to the web version. With the help of geotourist maps, we are able to provide relevant geospatial information to hikers and visitors in an aesthetic way. These maps also help to raise awareness among people for geological and geomorphological heritage.

Published: July 2019

Abstract. The National Atlas of Spain is a compendium of maps, charts, reports, tables and photographs that aims to depict the detailed human and physical geography and history of Spain. This project began in 1880 and it is nowadays immersed in its fifth stage of life. The National Atlas of Spain of the 21st Century has been published in the year 2018 by the National Geographic Institute of Spain in cooperation with a scientific network of 38 institutions and 140 researchers and professors as well as 200 scientific experts. It is divided in 24 chapters and includes nearly 1200 graphic contents, 827 of which are maps. Data have been provided by over 125 national and international official organisations. This work may be obtained both on digital and paper formats on various conduits for information. New proposals and projects are also currently being carried out at the National Atlas of Spain, i.e. a new Geoportal has recently been published on the internet, chapter I.1.1. of the National Atlas has started being extended so that it may become a monograph, and a new Interactive Atlas is about to be published on the web. Other tasks for the coming months include keeping all resources updated on all conduits for information, translating the Atlas into English, improving the tool used for producing and publishing charts and transforming the product called the Atlas Thesaurus into an ontology so that all contents may be offered as semantic resources.
The formation of North-South Seismic Zone and Emeishan large igneous province in Western China: Insight from teleseismic tomography
Authors: He Chuansong
Published: July 2019

Abstract. Several models have been suggested to explain the earthquake mechanism of the North-South Seismic Zone (NSSZ) and the formation of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP). In this study, I extended the study region and carried out detailed teleseismic tomography in the NSSZ and near-by regions. Results identified by this study reveal large plate-like high-velocity anomalies beneath the Songpan-Ganzi Block and the South China Block, which may be associated with large-scale lithospheric delamination, and low-velocity structures at 50–200 km depths in the western and southern parts of this study region, which imply upwelling asthenosphere induced by delamination and the absence of the rigid lithosphere there. Two high-velocity structures beneath the Sichuan Basin and the Alashan Block are revealed, which might be the lithospheric roots of these structures. These rigid lithospheric roots obstructed the eastward extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau and led to stress accumulations and releases (earthquakes) in the Longmenshan Orogenic Belt and the northern part of the NSSZ. Due to obstruction by the Sichuan Basin’s lithosphere, eastward extrusion was redirected southeastward to Yunnan in the southern part of the NSSZ, which led to stress accumulations and releases (earthquakes) along the Honghe and Xiaojiang Faults. This study provide velocity images reveal a slab-like high-velocity structure, which might be associated with the lithospheric vestige of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean that subducted beneath the ELIP, which resulted in large-scale return mantle flow or mantle upwelling and contribute to the LIP formation in early Mesozoic.
"Project Finance" y desarrollo económico. Estudio de un caso
Authors: Garayalde María Luisa , González Sara , Mascareñas Juan
Published: July 2019

El uso de la técnica de gestión de proyectos, cuya financiación está garantizada por el propio proyecto gestionado, denominada financiación de proyectos sin recurso o, más habitualmente “Project Finance”, puede emplearse para financiar y gestionar determinados proyectos de desarrollo local en áreas fuertemente deprimidas. El trabajo muestra un caso real de aplicación de esta innovadora técnica de gestión en una pequeña aldea agrícola etíope. Se puede observar que el proceso va mucho más allá del simple cálculo financiero para entrar de lleno en la gestión de todos los riesgos implicados en el proyecto de desarrollo: activos subyacentes, participantes, condiciones naturales, factores económicos, cambios regulatorios, injerencia política y cambios legislativos. La técnica permite la autofinanciación del proyecto de desarrollo gracias a que es el propio activo el que genera dicha financiación y ello permite impulsar la creación de otros activos similares que mejorarán la calidad de vida de la población. En el caso analizado, la construcción de un pozo puede dar lugar al cultivo de unas cuatro huertas que no sólo mejorarán la calidad alimenticia de la población sino que además permitirán financiar la construcción de nuevos pozos con sus huertas anexas. Este ciclo termina una vez que todas las familias del poblado disponen de sus propias huertas.

The Larder Lake-Cadillac Break and Its Gold Districts
Authors: Poulsen K. Howard
Published: July 2019

The Larder Lake-Cadillac Break is a gold metallotect, which extends for more than 250 km from Matachewan in Ontario to Val-d’Or in Quebec. For much of its length it juxtaposes older komatiitic rocks against younger sedimentary units. Among the adjacent sedimentary rocks are distinctive intervals of polymict conglomerate and crossbedded sandstone, which make up part of the Timiskaming Group that unconformably overlies previously folded volcanic strata. Rocks in the vicinity of the break are commonly strongly carbonatized, with the type and abundance of carbonate minerals being controlled largely by protolith composition. Shoshonitic to alkalic igneous rocks occur along the break as volcanic units within the Timiskaming, as plutonic rocks in syn-Timiskaming stocks and plugs, and as local arrays of albitite dikes of intermediate composition. High-strain dislocative deformation is variably developed along the break but its intensity is in part a reflection of metasomatic phyllosilicates in the affected rocks. Gold deposits tend to form clusters along the break and their relationship to it is two-fold: a subset of geologically similar deposits are localized in direct proximity to the break but the majority of gold in the region is found in diverse settings away from it with no clear genetic connection.
Geology of the Lapa Orogenic Gold Deposit
Authors: Mercier-Langevin Patrick , Simard Marjorie , Dubuc Richard , Côté Jocelyn , Doucet Pierre , Daigneault Réal , Gaboury Damien
Published: July 2019

The Cadillac mining camp is known for its numerous, but relatively small, orogenic gold deposits, which are spatially associated with the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault zone. The Lapa deposit, with a total endowment of 36 t Au (1.15 Moz), represents the largest gold deposit of the Cadillac mining camp.

The Lapa deposit main ore zones are mostly hosted in the Piché Group ultramafic to intermediate volcanic units that are strongly transposed and separated by subvertical, anastomosed high-strain corridors that are part of the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault zone. There are 12 ore zones that are stacked from north to south, forming a series of subparallel, E-striking (main foliation-parallel), steeply dipping south to subvertical “lenses.” The ore consists mainly of very fine-grained (≤1 mm), disseminated sulfides (arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite with traces of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and sphalerite), sulfosalts, native Au, and native Sb.

Three amphibolite-grade metamorphosed proximal alteration assemblages are present at Lapa, namely bio-tite-bearing, sericite-bearing, and actinolite-bearing assemblages. The distribution of the three assemblages, defined by the most abundant mineral, is at least in part controlled by the primary host-rock composition. The proximal alteration facies give way to chlorite- (upper half of the deposit at <1,000 m) and hornblende-bearing (lower half of the deposit at >1,000 m) assemblages a few meters to a few decimeters away from the ore zones. The isograd defined by the presence of actinolite in the proximal alteration assemblage and hornblende in the distal assemblage below 1,000 m correlates with a shift from an Au-As association in the lowermost levels of the mine to an Au-Sb association at depth. This variation is thought to be due to varying heat and fluid flow regimes at different times and crustal levels in the fault, with the upgrading of early, “low-grade” Au during prograde and retrograde metamorphism.

The Cadillac camp, including the Lapa deposit, is an excellent example of the camp to deposit to stope controls exerted by the structural and lithologic setting on the nature, style, and geometry of greenstone-hosted orogenic gold deposits.
Geology and Hydrothermal Alteration of the World-Class Canadian Malartic Gold Deposit: Genesis of an Archean Stockwork-Disseminated Gold Deposit in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt
Authors: De Souza Stéphane , Dubé Benoît , McNicoll Vicki , Dupuis Céline , Mercier-Langevin Patrick , Creaser Robert A. , Kjarsgaard Ingrid
Published: July 2019

The Canadian Malartic low-grade bulk tonnage gold mine (total production and reserves of 303.3 t or 10.7 Moz at 0.97 g/t) is located in the Archean Abitibi greenstone belt, immediately south of the crustal-scale Larder Lake-Cadillac fault zone. The deposit is predominantly hosted in clastic metasedimentary rocks of the Pontiac Group and, to a lesser extent, in subalkaline porphyritic quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite. The quartz monzodiorite and granodiorite yielded syn-Timiskaming U-Pb ID-TIMS zircon ages of 2677.8 ± 1.5 and 2678.4 ± 1.7 Ma, respectively. The ore, which is characterized by a Au-Te-W-S-Bi-Ag ± Pb ± Mo metallic signature, mainly consists of quartz-carbonate vein stockworks and replacement zones with disseminated pyrite. The ore zones are dominantly oriented subparallel to a NW-striking S2 foliation and to the E-striking and S-dipping Sladen fault, thus forming NW-SE and E-W mineralized trends. In both the sedimentary rocks and the quartz monzodiorite, the proximal and distal alteration zones are characterized by the presence of calcite and ferroan dolomite, respectively. In the sedimentary rocks, the ore zones show a wide distal biotite alteration halo with proximal assemblages made up of albite and/or microcline with pyrite. The quartz monzodiorite comprises a distal hematite-bearing alteration zone that is overprinted by proximal microcline + albite + quartz + pyrite replacement zones.

The metallic signature of the ore, the presence of mineralized stockworks, the potassic alteration (biotite/microcline), and an association with ca. 2678 Ma porphyritic intrusions suggest the possibility of an early, syn-Timiskaming magmatic-hydrothermal auriferous event in the area. However, this study indicates that gold mineralization and its distribution at Canadian Malartic are largely controlled by D2 deformation and related features such as faults, shears, and high-strain zones. Of particular importance are the S2 cleavage developed in the hinge zone of F2 folds, and the Sladen fault. Molybdenite from high-grade ore yielded a Re-Os age of 2664 ± 11 Ma that is compatible with a syn-D2 timing for the bulk of the mineralization. The main characteristics of the Canadian Malartic deposit are thus best explained by a syndeformational event (D2; ca. 2670–2660 Ma) potentially superimposed onto a gold-bearing magmatic/hydrothermal intrusion-related system associated with Timiskaming-age porphyritic intrusions emplaced along the crustal-scale Larder Lake-Cadillac fault zone.
Critical Care Nurses’ Experiences With Death and Dying: A South African Perspective
Authors: Naidoo Vasanthrie , Sibiya Maureen Nokuthula
Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to explore experiences of South African critical care nurses regarding grief, death and dying in a critical care environment. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews and was analyzed using Giorgi’s thematic data analysis method. Available literature suggests that critical care nurses have varied experiences in relation to their experiences in relation to end-of -life patient care. However, few studies have examined the involvement of South African intensive care nurses’ in caring for the dying patient, their grief, their reactions to death in the workplace and the extent to which their nursing practice is based on shared beliefs, experiences and attitudes. Findings from this study revealed many predisposing factors and circumstantial occurrences shaping both, the nature of care of the dying and subsequent grief that, affected the nurse. Repeated exposure to grief, leads to occupational stress and burn out, causing emotional disengagement from caring for the dying, which ultimately affect the quality of care rendered for both the dying patient and their family. Issues, such as communication, multicultural diversity, education and coping mechanisms are essential in nursing education and practice and nurses caring for the critically ill or dying patient, need to have support networks and strategies put in place, not only to assist in providing care, but also for their own emotional support and well-being.

In 1995 the black grouse was registered in the Polish list of protected species. The national black grouse protection plan has been prepared and a few regional projects of the conservation of grouse and its areas of occurrence have been implemented. Unfortunately, adverse trends have not been turned back in the majority of regions. On the other hand, the population occurrence area has even increased locally in the mountains. The registered changes in the area of black grouse occurrence indicate that this species has the greatest chance of survival in some mountain areas in the southern part of Poland and locally in lowlands in the north-eastern part of the country. However, it is necessary to stop and reverse the unfavourable environmental changes which have been registered in areas of black grouse occurrence.
Povaha směnečného vyplňovacího práva
Authors: Dvořáková Zuzana
Published: July 2019

Ačkoli je směnečné vyplňovací právo jedním z pojmových znaků blankosměnky, nebyla jeho povaha doposud uspokojivě objasněna. Objevují se názory, které směnečné vyplňovací právo považují za zmocnění, za právo utvářecí nebo právo sui generis. Závěr o povaze směnečného vyplňovacího práva by měl být přitom stěžejní pro navazující otázky týkající se jeho promlčení či převoditelnosti. Cílem článku je zařadit směnečné vyplňovací právo do systému práv a charakterizovat jeho podstatu, a to i ve srovnání s názory zahraničních autorů.

Therapeutic Orphans
Authors: Miller Jennifer E. , Letendre Marie-Catherine ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center

Children and pregnant women are often excluded from clinical research. This has resulted in a paucity of evidence on how medicines work for fetuses, neonates, infants, and adolescents. It also raises bioethics, scientific, and public health concerns. For over half a century, doctors have prescribed medicines to children largely on the basis of how they work in adults, despite children’s varied physiologies and differences in how their bodies absorb and metabolize drugs. Regulations and legislation have led to an increase in the number of pediatric studies and to better drug labeling. However, children at all stages of their lives often remain “therapeutic orphans” owing to insufficient evidence about how medicines work for them.
Parental Obligation and Medical Neglect in Childhood Obesity
Authors: Meister Berger Jessica M. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: July 2019

Despite unprecedented medical advancements and the near eradi­cation of many serious diseases, there are growing epidemics of preventable illness brought about in part by the overemphasis on individual autonomy and the neglect of obligations to others. Insofar as these diseases develop because of individual choice, this permissiveness hampers the moral analysis of growing epidemics like childhood obesity. While society has contributed to its rapid progression, childhood obesity finds its origins in lifestyle choices implemented at home. Consequently, parents have an unparalleled duty to prevent and correct obesity and unhealthy lifestyles in their children. Failure to do so undoubtedly violates a parent’s duty and suggests medical neglect. However, our current understanding of medical neglect is too narrow to be applicable to chronic, preventable illnesses. Relevant principles of tort law may broaden our understanding of neglect to better reflect the nature of parental and societal liability in preventable illnesses.
A Catholic Approach to Adolescent Medicine
Authors: Heyne, MD Thomas , Hernandez, MD Nancy , Gilbert, MD Lisa ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center

Adolescence is an important yet vulnerable period of transition from childhood to adulthood. An increasing number of studies support the traditional Catholic view, which sees teens as prone to making poor decisions when influ­enced by emotions or peer pressure but capable of thriving when guided by parents and religion. However, newer policies of medical societies undermine the traditional supports of family and faith with a permissive approach toward sexual exploration. To counter this unhealthy trend, which seems to be based more on postmodern ideology than robust science, Catholic physicians should become experts in adolescent behavior and sexual health. Physicians should be sensitive to opposing viewpoints but participate only in treatments which are ethical and beneficial for their patients. Specifically, Catholic physicians must avoid contraceptives, abortion, and “gender-affirming” therapies. By using good science and emulating the models of service, Socratic dialogue, and accompaniment, physicians can guide adolescents toward a virtuous, healthy adulthood.
Medical Futility in Pediatric Care
Authors: Vizcarrondo Felipe E. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: July 2019

The transition from the paternalistic paradigm of the Hippocratic tradition to the present model of shared decision making has altered the patient–doctor relationship. This change has engendered conflicts between patients and physicians, especially in pediatric medicine, where the patients are depen­dent on their parents because of their inability to consent to an intervention independently. Navigating this complex relationship can become particularly fraught when medical futility is invoked. This situation is complicated further by the divergent approaches to shared decision making among physicians and the ethical perspectives these positions reflect. Catholic doctrine on the role of parents in medical-ethical decision making provides insight into navigat­ing these difficult clinical issues and ideologies.

Estilos de gestión de los perfiles políticos en Twitter: imagen y texto en las cuentas de los partidos en la campaña del 26J
Authors: Gallardo Paúls Beatriz , Enguix Oliver Salvador , Oleaque Moreno Joan Manuel
Published: July 2019

En este trabajo analizamos dos aspectos de las cuentas de los partidos políticos en Twitter durante la campaña del 26J: la estructura semiótica de los tuits y su función comunicativa. El análisis de estas dos variables permite concluir que 1) las cuentas de los partidos carecen en general de voz institucional y tienen sobre todo carácter ecoico respecto a las cuentas de los líderes, especialmente los candidatos; 2) existe equilibrio entre el uso de texto e imagen; 3) la función predominante es el tuit de cita; 4) las cuentas son uniformes, solo destaca la de IZQUIERDA UNIDA por su alto índice de espectacularización de la política. No hay, en definitiva, un estilo de gestión específico para la comunicación del partido en la red social.

Two aspects of the accounts of political parties on Twitter during the 26J campaign are analyzed: the semiotic structure of the tweets and its communicative function.The analysis of these two variables allows to conclude that 1) the accounts of the parties lack in general of an institutional voice, and have an echoic character over the accounts of the leaders, especially the candidates; 2) there is a balance between the use of text and image; 3) the predominantfunction is the quote tweet; 4) the accounts are uniform, only highlights IZQUIERDA UNIDA for its high rate of spectacularization of politics. In short, there is not a specific management style for the party’s communication in the social network.
