Este artigo analisa os efeitos da inserção de uma médica cubana do Programa Mais Médicos nos processos de trabalho de uma equipe de Saúde da Família, discutindo suas contribuições e desafios à integralidade do cuidado em saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritivo-exploratória, do tipo estudo de caso, realizada em município do estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil, mediante utilização de observação participante, complementada com entrevistas em profundidade e um grupo focal. A análise dos dados foi fundamentada nas teorias do processo de trabalho e da produção intersubjetiva do cuidado em saúde. Os resultados indicam contribuições na ampliação de ações assistenciais e no fortalecimento dos vínculos entre equipe e usuários. Entre os desafios, a persistência de práticas segmentadas por categorias profissionais, subordinadas à figura e aos saberes (bio)médicos, com limitada interação interprofissional e equipe-comunidade na construção de projetos comuns de cuidado.
Urbanorum spp
Authors: Kruger Elisa Maria Michels
Published: May 2020

Introdução: As enteroparasitoses são foco de investigações científicas no mundo todo. Urbanorum spp. foi reconhecido como parasita em 1994 no Peru, expandindo-se pela América do Sul. Relatado pela primeira vez no Brasil em 2018, Maranhão. Este relato apresenta o segundo caso no estado do Paraná. Relato de caso: Paciente masculino, 56 anos, 75kg, diabético, habitante de São José dos Pinhais, área urbana. Procura atenção primária por dor ao evacuar, tenesmo e cólica abdominal. Nega diarréia, febre, sangue nas fezes e viagem recente. Exame físico abdominal, hemograma e parcial de urina sem alterações. Parasitológico de fezes: Urbanorum spp. Prescrito Nitazoxanida 500mg 12/12h por 3 dias. Paciente retorna com melhora da sintomatologia e parasitológico de controle negativo. Conclusão: Atualmente a escassez de estudos primários prospectivos dificultam o delineamento clínico-epidemiológico e tratamento da parasitose. A disseminação do parasita entre extremos do país em curto intervalo de tempo, aliada à carência de saneamento básico criam um alerta para seu grande potencial epidêmico. Por isso, as políticas de saúde pública devem priorizar ações informativas e preventivas a fim de evitar surtos e complicações. A atenção primária à saúde é fundamental nesse contexto, justamente pela longitudinalidade e abrangência do cuidado.
Mídia e saúde
Authors: Matos Camila Carvalho de Souza Amorim
Published: May 2020

Introdução: A mídia é um importante elemento na construção de significados sobre os acontecimentos de saúde, influenciando nas crenças e na formação da opinião popular, tendo especial papel nos processos epidêmicos. No atual cenário epidemiológico do Brasil, que está vivenciando o recrudescimento do sarampo, reintroduzido no país em 2018, os profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) devem estar instrumentalizados sobre os sentidos que estão sendo construídos pelos veículos de comunicação. Objetivo: Avaliar o conteúdo midiático que está sendo produzido acerca do atual cenário epidemiológico do sarampo no Brasil, observando que sentidos estão sendo construídos e analisando-os criticamente, traçando um paralelo com o papel que a APS ocupa neste cenário, principalmente no que diz respeito à educação em saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, na qual realizou-se duas buscas através da ferramenta de busca online Google Notícias. Buscou-se pelo termo ‘sarampo’ e pelos termos ‘sarampo’ e ‘autismo’. Foram catalogados os 50 primeiros resultados, sendo o critério de inclusão que fossem notícias. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo, inicialmente, para categorização e inferência, porém foi necessário utilizar instrumentos da análise de discurso para aprofundar algumas subjetividades encontradas. Resultados: A busca retornou resultados das cinco regiões do país, todos com postura pró-vacina. A APS foi citada em praticamente todos os resultados encontrados, que frisavam a disponibilidade da vacina gratuitamente neste nível de atenção. As três áreas temáticas encontradas a partir da análise do material foram: “gravidade, sequelas e morte: a produção do sentido do medo”; “vacinação, medidas e ações; e “justificativas para a queda da cobertura vacinal, responsabilização do indivíduo e atribuição do cenário ao movimento antivacina”. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o atual cenário epidemiológico do sarampo tem sido encarado como unicausal, o que precisa ser revisto para que as campanhas governamentais e as ações das Equipes de Saúde da Família tornem-se mais efetivas. A estratégia do convencimento pelo medo ou pela obediência mostra-se ineficaz. Pouco ou nada se discute sobre as recentes políticas de desmonte do Sistema Único de Saúde, que têm impacto direto na cobertura da Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Também pouco foi discutido sobre questões de acesso. A compreensão deste cenário sob uma ótica multifacetada e contextualizada ao momento sociocultural e histórico é o ponto central para o sucesso do desfecho.

Authors: Towhidi Farhad , Mohammadzadeh Salamat Khalid , Soroush Ali , Pourmotabbed Ali
Published: May 2020

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of an eight-week aerobic exercise program and use of garlic extract on serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and NT-pro brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in obese hypertensive patients. Methods: A total of 50 male obese hypertensive patients with a mean age of 53 ± 7.6 years were recruited in this study. They were randomly assigned to five groups, including aerobic exercise, garlic extract, aerobic exercise + garlic extract, placebo, and control. The experimental groups were subjected to eight weeks of aerobic exercise (three sessions per week, each session for 35 - 60 min with a maximum heart rate of 50% - 70%) and/or garlic extract supplement (6 g daily). Blood samples were collected before interventions and 48 h after the last exercise session. Statistical analysis of data was performed by dependent t-test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Results: Body weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and NT-pro BNP in aerobic exercise, garlic extract, and garlic extract + aerobic exercise reduced significantly compared to control group (P ≤ 0.05). Body weight, BMI, and ANP decreased significantly in aerobic and aerobic + garlic extract groups compared to garlic group (P ≤ 0.001). Moreover, ANP reduced more significantly in aerobic exercise + garlic extract group than in aerobic exercise group (P ≤ 0.05). In addition, NT-pro BNP decreased more significantly in aerobic exercise + garlic extract group than in garlic extract group (P ≤ 0.01). Conclusions: It seems that both aerobic exercise and garlic extract are able to decrease obesity and hypertension. However, their simultaneous use has no additional effects on hypertension control although it influences the body composition and natriuretic peptides.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Planned Discharge Program in the Quality of Life of Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Clinical Trial Study
Authors: Chare Joo Somaye , Navidian Ali , Sharifi Simin
Published: May 2020

Background: Considering recent economic challenges, the short-term hospitalization of cancer patients for routine chemotherapy, and the lack of routine home visits for cancer patients in Iran, the quality of life of these patients after discharge can be a source of concern. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of a planned discharge program on the quality of life of gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in hospitals of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This clinical trial was conducted in 2018 on gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in hospitals affiliated to the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. The sample was selected by convenience sampling, and the participants were randomly assigned into two groups of intervention (n = 45) and control (n = 45). The intervention was performed in three 45 to 60-minute sessions and sending text messages, which were based on the patients’ identified problems and needs for the intervention group. Data collection tools included the QLQ-C30 questionnaire and a demographic characteristics form. Data were analyzed by SPSS V. 21 software using descriptive and analytical statistical tests. Results: The mean scores of the patients’ quality of life increased on most of the functional subscales and global health/quality of life in the intervention group. In the control group (routine care), however, no significant difference was observed in most functional subscales of quality of life. There was a significant change in the mean severity of symptoms in the intervention group so that the severity of symptoms decreased after the intervention. In the control group, there was a significant difference in the mean severity of symptoms before and after the intervention so that the severity of symptoms increased in most cases. Conclusions: Home visits of cancer patients are not in routine care after discharge in Iran, and they are not covered by insurance companies. Thus, home visits are expensive. However, in areas where the economic index is low, and patients have little access to smartphones, the planned discharge program can be a suitable method to increase the quality of life of cancer patients.

Taphonomy and palaeopathology of two mysticete whales, upper Miocene Pisco Formation, Peru
Authors: Esperante Raúl , Poma Orlando
Published: May 2020

Two mysticete fossil whales from the upper Miocene of the Pisco Formation in Peru are described that show healed bone-fractures in ribs. One specimen is preserved in a tuffaceous diatomaceous siltstone and the other specimen is preserved in siltstone. Both specimens are well preserved, mostly articulated and almost complete. Shark teeth were found associated with one of the skeletons, but both specimens lack any trace evidence for the activity macro-scavengers. We suggest that the cause of bone fracture may have been collision with rocky shores, other wales, or large predators. The fact that the rib fractures healed indicates that the whales did not die due the bone fractures. Sedimentologic and paleontological evidence indicate that they were rapidly buried in the marine platform with well-oxygenated water
Spaces and species: The Rodrigo Botet Collection (Valencia, Spain) and the palaeoecological relationships of early Homo sapiens during their dispersal in the southern cone of South America
Authors: Chichkoyan Karina V , Belinchón Margarita , Lanata José L , Martínez-Navarro Bienvenido
Published: May 2020

In this paper we present the taphonomic analysis of the Rodrigo Botet Collection, an assembly of fossil bones excavated from the Region of the Pampas (Argentina) which display evidence of having been subject to anthropic action. This collection of South America mammals is housed at the Natural Science Museum of Valencia (Spain), and is the most important of this type in Europa. In order to better comprehend the evidence found in this collection a palaeoecological framework was applied. This framework was linked to the relations established between Homo sapiens and the native megafauna, which may have implied new forms of niche construction or colonization in South America spaces. The distribution of the different species over the landscape, the general ecological characteristics of these mammals, and the presence of possible competitors were taken into account during the research. In this context we emphasise that human beings behaved as an invasive species in this continent during the first peopling of America. Special attention is also placed on comparing different early human dispersal events in different scenarios. America and Europe are exemplary case studies for making further discoveries on the several anthropic impacts that our species has exerted in different times and spaces
Large ungulates from the basal Oligocene of Oman: 1 – Embrithopoda
Authors: Pickford Martin
Published: May 2020

Arsinoitheres (Embrithopoda, Mammalia) have been known to occur in the Early Oligocene of Oman since 1992, yet the fossils on which the records were based have not yet been published. This contribution rectifies this situation and provides the first secure basis for the presence of arsinoitheres in Oman, some post-cranial material previously attributed to this genus being of uncertain affinities. The Omani records and the one in the Shumaysi Formation, Saudi Arabia, extend the distribution of Arsinoitherium adrewsi to the northeastern extremities of the Afro-Arabian Continent
Aptian-Albian coral faunas from the Sierra del Carche (Prebetic, Murcia, southern Spain)
Authors: Löser Hannes , Arias Consuelo , Vilas Lorenzo
Published: May 2020

Three small coral faunas from the Early Aptian, Latest Aptian and Late Albian from a sedimentary section in the Sierra del Carche are described. A total of 17 species in 15 genera of the suborders Amphiastraeina, Archeocaeniina, Faviina, Fungiina, Heteroceniina, Microsolenina, and Stylinina are reported. One species in the genus Heteropistophyllium is described as new. The Early Aptian fauna encompasses six species, the Late Aptian fauna three species and the Late Albian fauna ten species. The three faunas do almost not share species. There are only colonial corals
The Upper Miocene fish fauna of the Fortuna Basin, as observed in the surroundings of Abanilla (Murcia province, Spain)
Authors: Gaudant Jean , Soria Jesús Miguel , Fierro Ignacio , Saint Marin Simona
Published: May 2020

Fossil fishes are present at two different stratigraphical levels near Abanilla, in the Upper Miocene of the Fortune basin (Murcia, Spain). The first site corresponds to a monospecific fossiliferous horizon, late Tortonian in age, which was present at La Serretilla before recent levelling works destroyed this outcrop. This horizon has mainly yielded fish remains and, exceptionally, articulated skeletons of clupeid fishes belonging to the species Sardina? crassa (Sauvage). The second fossiliferous site, which is stratigraphically situated in the basal part of the “Chicamo cycles”, belongs to the lowermost Messinian. These strata, both marly and diatomaceous contain a juvenile fish fauna and correspond to a spawning area in which marine stenohaline fishes were breeding and where the newly hatched fishes were beginning their development. The diatoms of the fossiliferous horizons are clearly indicative of a fully marine salinity and exclude the possibility of hypo- or hyperhaline conditions. The composition of the Chicamo fish fauna looks very similar to that the Campos del Río site and characterizes marginal marine conditions that differ strikingly from those which, like the Columbares site, in the Murcia-Cartagena basin, are indicative of a connection to open sea
Taphonomical interpretations of the Sima de los Huesos site (Atapuerca range, Burgos, Spain): a review
Authors: Rabadà i Vives David
Published: May 2020

The Sima de los Huesos site, Atapuerca, contains an important sample of fossilised human bones of Homo heidelbergensis. The nature of Sima de los huesos (SH) human remains was interpreted as human burials but a bibliographic review of literature published on this subject has given rise to a new perspective. According to this new revision SH site was originated by different taphonomical mechanisms. Competition between Homo and other predators for the cavity, accidental death around the pit and a feeding trough for felines and canines while the cave had other entrances nowadays obstructed, explain this human fossil association. Large felines fed on human remains around the put. Canids and other scavengers came later for feeding. The water flows in the cave during heavy rainfall produced dispersion, mixing and abrasion in all these human skeletal remains. During all these processes a low sedimentation rate and eventual supply of corpses produced the observed fossil concentration. The majority of bears fell later by accident or died while hibernating neat the site
First footprints occurrence from the Muschelkalk detritical unit of the Catalan Basin: 3D analyses and palaeoichnological implications

Published: May 2020

Fossil vertebrate footprints are known from several Triassic localities of the Iberian Peninsula. Geological setting and palaeoichnological analyses are presented from the first recovered tetrapod footprints from the Middle Muschelkalk facies of the Iberian Peninsula. The studied outcrop is 40 km NW from Barcelona, in the Catalan Coastal Ranges (Catalan Basin, NE Iberian Peninsula). The stratigraphic section is ascribed to Middle Muschelkalk facies from Late Anisian-Early Ladinian age (Middle Triassic), and comprises mainly red mudstones with interbedded sandstones. Tetrapod footprints are located at the upper part of decametric medium-grain size sandstone intercalated in metric-submetric mudstone beds sequence. The general palaeoenvironment is a floodplain with episodic torrential events. Several 3D models from footprints were made by photogrammetry technique, being useful in the morphological description and depth analyses as indicator of the trackmaker’s pressure weight distribution and locomotion-substrate interaction. Tetrapod footprints are preserved in convex hyporelief in a sandstone bed with ripple laminations, mud-cracks and invertebrate traces. Substrate under the sand was muddy and soft, with progressive desiccation. There are eight footprints from different specimens and trackmakers. Seven of them are attributed to Isochirotherium isp. And Chirotherium isp. In special, three of them clearly resemble to pentadactyl morphology of chirotheriid pes. Potential trackmakers are crurotarsians. The last footprint is isolated and is referable to Rhynchosauroides isp. Potential trackmakers is a lacertoid-type reptile. The finding partially confirms the presence of homogeneous fauna diversity in the Middle Triassic of Europe Dominated by the same ichnofamilies reported here
Microstructure of Triassic conodont Pseudofurnishius murcianus van den Boogaard: Functional implications
Authors: Martínez-Pérez Carlos , Plasencia Pablo , Márquez-Aliaga Ana
Published: May 2020

Pseudofurnishius murcianus van den Boogaard is a Triassic conodont with a very characteristic morphology, a blade with a rostral platform heavily denticulated, that makes it easily distinguishable from other coeval species. It is a well-know taxon that has been the object of several palaeobiological works, focused on their apparatus reconstruction, ontogeny and, recently, their P1 element function. In order to increase our palaeobiology knowledge of this taxon we undertook a histological analysis to corroborate the functional hypothesis established for this conodont. The histological study demonstrated the presence of different microstructural types, suggesting that they are functional adaptions due to the slicing function that the P1 elements performed
Improving mesh generation in finite element analysis for functional morphology approaches
Authors: Marcé-Nogué Jordi , Fortuny Josep , Gil Lluís , Sánchez Montserrat
Published: May 2020

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool for functional morphology purposes. The accuracy of the final results depends on the mesh generation and the quality of the mesh. This is especially important in vertebrates as they present a complex biological structure, implying a complex geometry and, consequently, mesh generation should be performed with a consistent criterion. The aim of this paper is to discuss different ways to create a mesh of a vertebrate structure with different mesh generation methods and give recommendations on how to generate an efficient mesh without exceeding computational limits. Topics such as quality of the mesh, suitability of the mesh and reliability of the mesh are introduced to help the generation of the mesh. In this case, the use of convergence procedures assures the results of a computational solution and can be a good solution for the vertebrate models. The skull of a Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidiamus) is used as a case study
New conodont data from a Devonian-Carboniferous succession in the central sector of the Betic Cordillera (SE Spain)
Authors: Navas-Parejo Pilar , Rodríguez-Cañero Rosario , Martín-Algarra Agustín
Published: May 2020

A new Paleozoic outcrop in the Malaguide Complex of the central sector of the Betic Cordillera has provided the conodont species Palmatolepis angularis, Palmatolepis crepida, Palmatolepis quadrantinodosolobata, and Palmatolepis regularis, that identify the Late and Latest crepida zones (Famennian, Late Devonian). In the same outcrop, but it geometrically lower beds, the presence of Gnathodus bilineatus Romulus indicates a late Visean to latest Serpukhovian age (Early Carboniferous). This is the first time these both ages are recorded in the area. These findings confirm the intense thrust tectonics affecting the Malaguide rocks in the area, and allow us to correlate this outcrop with other better-known sectors of the Malaguide Complex, affirming the presence of the Falcoña and Almogia formations, as well as that Upper Devonian strata in a stratigraphic position equivalent to the Santi Petri Fm, but with very different facies
The fossil record of the uppermost Maastrichtian Reptile Sandstone (Tremp Formation, northeastern Iberian Peninsula)
Authors: Blanco Alejandro , Méndez Josep M , Marmi Josep
Published: May 2020

Numerous localities with vertebrate remains, including dinosaurs (sauropods, ornithopods, theropods and ankylosaurus), crocodiles and turtles, are known in the Arén and Tremp Formations (Maastrichtian, norheastern Iberian Peninsula). This diverse fossil record is improving our understanding of the history of the latest Mesozoic faunas in Europe. A conspicuous 7 meter thick sandstone and/or microconglomerate level (the so called Reptile Sandstone) occurs near the top of the “lower red unit” of the Tremp Formation, about 10 meters below the base of the “Vallcebre limestone”, which is Danian in age. Bone remains and ichnites are known in the Reptile Sandstone, and represent one of the youngest vertebrate records in the Maastrichtian of the Tremp Formation. New finding carried out in north Barcelona province complement the fossil assemblage of the Reptile Sandstone with turtle, crocodile, theropod and possible sauropod remains in addition to hadrosaurs
Distribución y cronología del oso pardo (Ursus arctos L.) en la Península Ibérica durante el Pleistoceno Superior y Holoceno
Authors: García-Vázquez Ana , Pinto Llona Ana C , González-Fortes Gloria M , Grandal-D'Anglade Aurora
Published: May 2020

Se presentan los resultados de 12 nuevas dataciones radiométricas 14C de restos de oso pardo (Ursus arctos L.) procedentes de cuevas de la mitad occidental de la Cordillera Cantábrica (Galicia-Asturias-Cantabria). Estas dataciones, además de otras previamente publicadas, datan la presencia de la especie en cuevas de esta zona desde hace más de 40.000 años BP a 2.442 ± 61 años cal BP, correspondiendo la mayor parte a los inicios del Holoceno. La revisión bibliográfica, realizada sobre la presencia de esta especie en otros yacimientos de la Península, muestra la existencia de estos en al menos 143 sitios. En el Pleistoceno Superior los yacimientos se distribuyen por toda la Península y superan en número a aquellos con restos holocenos. En general se producen vacíos en la distribución coincidentes con las zonas de litología no caliza. También, existe un sesgo relacionado con la intensidad de la investigación en ciertas áreas. Otro factor puede ser la competencia con el oso cavernario (Ursus spelaeus ROSENMÜLLER) por recursos o hábitat, aunque sólo el 12,5% de los yacimientos en donde aparecen las dos especies muestran la sustitución de una especie por la otra tras la extinción del oso cavernario. El descenso de población en oso pardo se refleja en la escasez de yacimientos a partir del Neolítico, probablemente debido a la presión ejercida por la expansión de las actividades humanas, hasta llegar a las dos poblaciones actuales relictas en la Península Ibérica (Cordillera Cantábrica y Pirineos)

The present volume represents a series of synthetic works presented at the “XI Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Paleontología”, which took place in Atarfe (Granada, Spain) on April 2013. During this meeting, more than thirty contributions were presented, offering a representative sample of the palaeontological state-of-the-art research currently developed in Spain. A small selection of these contributions is here presented, highlighting than most of them are first-authored by early-stage Spanish researcher who attended the aforementioned meeting.
As stated above, our planet has evolved since its origin, in a similar wat that Palaeontology has evolved during the las decades. This evolution, with the application of new novel ways to obtain accurate information form the past, combined with more traditional approaches, its patently showed by the contents of the following paper. Several of these papers deal with the application of recently developed techniques on palaeobiological studies: 3D models of tetrapod footprints using photogrammetry, histological analysis, or the use of Finite Element Analysis on vertebrates.
On the other hand, other papers here present point out that there is still classic palaeontological work to do: description of the first fossil records; radiocarbon dating; or new fossil remains on deposits previously studied.
We would like to thank the early-stage researcher who have contributed to this volume, the senior researchers co-authoring the papers, an all the people and institution that supported the successful celebration of the “XI Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Paleontología”
Re-assessment of the type collections of Maslov's species of Hapalidiales (Rhodophyta). Species originally attributed to Lithothamnium, Mesophyllum and Palaeothamnium
Authors: Braga Juan C , Bassi Davide , Aguirre Julio , Zakrevskaya Elena , Radionova Éleonora P
Published: May 2020

This is the third and last paper of a series devoted to the revision of the types of the species and infra-specific taxa of coralline red algae established in two monographs by Maslov. Maslov’s new species and intraspecific taxa were separated by characters of questionable significance from a modern taxonomic point of view. In this study, as un previous contributions, a number of types of fossil coralline algae Maslov’s original collection are re-assessed with a modern morpho-anatomic taxonomic approach. This paper deals in particular with the types of species attributed of Maslov to the genera Lithothamnion (as Lithothamnium), Mesophyllum and Palaeothamnium (Hapalidiales, Rhodophyta). According to our reassessment, only the type of Mesophyllum schenckii var. corticesum can be confidently assigned to a currently accepted genus within the family Hapalidiaceae, subfamily Melobesioideae. The types of Lithothamnion iorii, Palaeothamnium kassovense, Mesophyllum kutense, Lithothamnion microcellulosum, Lithothamnion praefructiculosum, and Lithothamnion thcernomoricum possess multiporate conceptacles and non-coaxial ventral core and can be attributed to the subfamily Melobesioideae. The lack of ephitallial cells, however, prevents any precise generic assignment within the Lithothamnion, Phymatolithon, Clathtomotphum and Synarthrophyton complex. Finally, the lack of significant characters prevents any confident attribution of the type of “Lithothamnion saxorum var. korolukae” to any defined generic or suprageneric taxon within the Hapalidiales or the Corallinales. The absence of reproductive structures int ye types of “Lithothamnion caucasicum”, “Lithothamnion (?) intergeminum” and “Lithothamnion (?) suhumii” prevents the placement of these taxa in any order and family within Hapalidiales, Corallinales or Sporolithales
Large ungulates from the basal Oligocene of Oman: 2 - Proboscidea
Authors: Pickford Martin
Published: May 2020

Knowledge about the Palaeogene fossil record of the Arabian Peninsula has improved recently due to discoveries of Eocene – Oligocene age in Oman and Saudi Arabia. In the early 1990’s primitive proboscideans were listed from Thaytiniti (Early Oligocene) in Oman, but the fossils were never described. Subsequently a proximal unla from the Dhofar was attributed to an arsinoitheres, but it is more likely to belong to a proboscidean than an embrithopod. Recently a lower jaw from the same region was described as the barytheriid Omanitherium. The present paper describes and illustrates the fossils collected at Thaytiniti and Taqah in 1992 and identifies them as the first known upper teeth of Omanitherium. The significance of these fossils for understanding the taxonomy and systematics of Omanitherium are discussed, and it is concluded that among all the known Proboscidea, this genus is most closely related to Arcanotherium from the Eo-Oligocene of Dor el Talha, Libya

Large ungulates from the basal Oligocene of Oman: 3 - Anthracotheriidae
Authors: Pickford Martin
Published: May 2020

The presence of Anthracotheriidae, Artiodactyla, Mammalia, in the Early Oligocene of Oman was reported in 1992, but the fossils were never described. This paper rectifies the situation by describing two teeth that can be attributed to Bothriogenys gorringei, a species that is common in the Eocene-Oligocene Fayum deposits, Egypt. The Omani fossils hel to fill a geographic gap that used to exist between the Fayum species on the one hand, and anthracothere species from the Far East on the other. The material consists of an upper molar from Thaytiniti and half a lower molar from Taqah
Application of digital image treatment to the characterization and differentiation of deep-sea ichnofacies
Authors: Dorador Javier , Rodríguez-Tovar Francisco J
Published: May 2020

The ichnofacies model proposed by Seilacher in the 1960’s stands as one of the main tools used in the ichnological research. Based on the integration of numerous ichnological and sedimentological observations, it entails a precise characterization of the trace fossil assemblage. Differentiation of trace fossils may be relatively easy in outcrops, but cores are a different matter, particularly modern marine cores. Difficulties are even more accentuated in deep-sea pelagic and hemipelagic, non-turbiditic, fine-grained deposits. The application of digital image treatment can facilitate trace fossil identification and improve deep-sea ichnofacies characterization on modern cores. The method proposed here was applied to cores from the IODP Expedition 339 (Site U1285). Eight ichnotaxa – Chondrites, Palaeophycus, Phycosiphon, Planolites, Taenidium, Thalassinoides, Thalassinoides-like structures and Zoophycos – as well as some horizontal grouped circular structures interpreted as trails (?Nereites) were recognized. The archetypical Zoophycos ichnofacies is identified, but characteristic elements belonging to the Nereites ichnofacies and to the distal expression of Cruziana ichnofacies are locally recognized. Thus, the applied methodology allows differentiating between different expressions of the Zoophycos ichnofacies and to approach subtle changes in the involved environmental parameters affecting tracemakers

Abundant marine macrofossils are present in graphitic marbles and calc-silicate schists belonging to the Veleta nappe of the Nevado-Filábride Complex (Internal Zones of the Betic Cordillera, SE Spain), in what is called the Águilas tectonic arc. These fossils have resisted metamorphism and deformation, and in some instances have been finely preserved. The fossil assemblages are dominated by crinoids, followed by minor cephalopods, brachiopods, rugose corals, and putative sections of trilobites. In addition to these confidently identified groups, there are other fossil represented, but deformation and extensive recrystallization have destroyed anatomical characters, hampering their taxonomic identification. Among the crinoids, the columnal parataxa Pentagonopentagonalis (col.) and Bystrowicrinus (col.) have been recognized. Planispiral cephalopods assigned to either primitive ammonoids attributable to the order Agniatitid (one of them being a possible member of the family Mimosphinctidae) or coiled nautilids, as well as orthoconid sections of possible orthoceratids or bactritids are present. Finally, there are rugose coral attributable to the family Phillipsastreidae, possibly Peneckiella. Among the remains with obscure taxonomic assignment, we recognize possible laminar calcareous algae an benthic foraminifers Finally, irregular, massive structures showing a rough laminar organization and longitudinal tubes with rounded sections are found in some black marble beds. These can be identified either as possible chaetetids or bryozoans. The report of these taxa has limited the rocks studied to the Emsian, late Early Devonian
Updating titanosaurian diversity (Sauropoda) from the Late Cretaceous of Spain: the fossil sites of Laño and Chera
Authors: Díez-Díaz Verónica , Pereda Suberbiola Xabier , Company Julio
Published: May 2020

Three titanosaurian sauropods are well-known from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of the Ibero-Armorican Island (southwestern Europe): Lirainosaurus astibiae from Spain, and Ampelosaurus atacis and Atsinganosaurus velauciensis from France. However, a higher titanosaurian diversity has been suggested for this island, a hypothesis that has gained traction in recent years as a result of new discoveries in fossil sites from Spain and southern France. An estimation of the titanosaurian diversity in the late Campanian-early Maastrichtian of the Iberian Peninsula is made here on the basis of the available information from the three fossil sites that have yielded the best preserved fossil remains: Laño (Condado de Treviño), Chera (Valencia), and Lo Hueco (Cuenca). The results confirm the hypothesis of a higher titanosaurian diversity in the Iberian Peninsula: from one to, at least, three taxa. Moreover, we also suggest the presence of two different titanosaurian morphotypes in the site of Chera, with one of them representing Lirainosaurus
Subject of obligation in relation to provision of statement about circumstances
Authors: Emelianova Olesia
Published: May 2020

This article presents a brief analysis of the current norms of civil law in the Russian Federation, practice of their implementation, sources of the Roman private law, and norms of foreign law for the purpose of determination of the subject of obligation that emerges as a result of provision of statement about circumstances. The question of correspondence of such obligation to the criterion of validity is being addressed. The provisions of legal doctrine with regards to structure, essence and content of obligation, as well as approaches of legal technique and history of Roman law are used for argumentation of the main conclusions of this research. As a result, the author was able to formulate the subject of obligation that emerges on the basis of statement about circumstances. Obligations characterized by such subject are detected in the Roman private law and modern German legislation. The acquired results allow concluding that obligation due to provision of statement about circumstances is not an extraneous element of the system of civil law of the Russian Federation.

Therefore, the article offers an original interpretation of the Paragraph 2 of Section 2 of the Article 864 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation stipulating the reasons for refusal to accept payment order for execution.
Transformation of the European arrest warrant in light of protection of the rights of extradited individuals
Authors: Shaibakova Kamila Danilovna
Published: May 2020

The subject of this research is the norms of international legal acts, legislations of the EU member-states, decisions of foreign national courts, as well as decisions of the European Court on Human Rights and European Court of Justice. A hypothesis is advanced that within the framework of the European arrest warrant there are new trends associated namely with the desire to strengthen the system of protection of rights of the extradited individuals, which can negatively affect functionality of the procedure as a whole. Thus, a number of cases of the national courts (for example Artur Celmer case) and Court of the European Union (Pál Aranyosi and Robert Căldăraru case), as well as provisions of the constitutional courts lead to the fact that the principle of mutual recognition of court decision is used with caution. The article examines the case law of national courts of the EU member-states, as well as practice of the European Court of Justice and European arrest warrant. The author compared the decisions of the aforementioned courts for confirming the hypothesis that the protection of extradited individuals plays a significant role in the context of operation of the European arrest warrant. The intention to provide legal guarantees to individuals extradited in the context of the European arrest warrant, which loses its main influence; particularly the procedure is interrupted due to absence of guarantees of protection of rights in case of extradition, as well as raises doubt towards judicial systems and their decisions of some EU member-states brought forth by political actions of these countries. Moreover, protection of rights and guarantee of fair trial increases.
