The Political Economy of Inequality in Chile and Mexico: Two Tales of Neoliberalism
Authors: Gouzoulis Giorgos , Constantine Collin
Published: May 2020

This paper undertakes a comparative study on the topographies of neoliberalism in Latin America (Chile and Mexico) and provides empirical estimates of how the varied geographies of neoliberalism affect functional income inequality between 1980-2011. Our empirical strategy employs a single-equation Unrestricted Error-Correction Model that tests an exploratory baseline specification. We find robust evidence that government consumption is a positive driver of the respective wage shares. Since Chile has entrenched austerity as opposed to Mexico, it is a fundamental explanation for its falling wage share. Private debt is the second most important explanation for why wage shares have fallen in Chile. We find no evidence of this channel in the Mexican case. The article also finds similarly varied effects of globalisation on the respective wage shares. These results demonstrate the importance of country-level studies and how new spatialities of neoliberalism through different state reconfigurations can tell unique distributional stories.
The gap-closing estimand: A causal approach to study interventions that close disparities across social categories
Authors: Lundberg Ian
Published: May 2020

Disparities across race, gender, and class are important targets of descriptive research. But rather than only describe disparities, research would ideally inform interventions to close those gaps. The gap-closing estimand quantifies how much a gap (e.g. incomes by race) would close if we intervened to equalize a treatment (e.g. access to college). Drawing on causal decomposition analyses, this type of research question yields several benefits. First, gap-closing estimands place categories like race in a causal framework without making them play the role of the treatment (which is philosophically fraught for non-manipulable variables). Second, gap-closing estimands empower researchers to study disparities using new statistical and machine learning estimators designed for causal effects. Third, gap-closing estimands produce results that may directly inform policy: they tell us the degree to which an intervention applied to a sample would close a gap. I provide open-source software (the R package gapclosing) to support these methods.
The usefulness of algorithmic models in policy making
Authors: Kolkman Daan
Published: May 2020

Governments increasingly use algorithmic models to inform their policy making process. Many suggest that employing such quantifications will lead to more efficient, more effective or otherwise better quality policy making. Yet, it remains unclear to what extent these benefits materialize and if so, how they are brought about. This paper draws on the sociology and policy science literature to study how algorithmic models, a particular type of quantification, are used in policy analysis. It presents the outcomes of 38 unstructured interviews with data scientists, policy analysts, and policy makers that work with algorithmic models in government. Based on an in-depth analysis of these interviews, I conclude that the usefulness of algorithmic models in policy analysis is best understood in terms of the commensurability of these quantifications. However, these broad communicative and organizational benefits can only be brought about if algorithmic models are handled with care. Otherwise, they may propagate bias, exclude particular social groups, and will entrench existing worldviews.
The Causal Effect of Social Distancing on the Spread of SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Sharkey Patrick , Wood George
Published: May 2020

To what degree does social distancing have a causal effect on the spread of SARS-CoV-2? To generate causal evidence, we show that week to week changes in weather conditions provided a natural experiment that altered daily travel and movement outside the home, and thus affected social distancing in the first several weeks when Covid-19 began to spread in many U.S. counties. Using aggregated mobile phone location data and leveraging changes in social distancing driven by weekly weather conditions, we provide the first causal evidence on the effect of social distancing on the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Results show that a 1 percent increase in distance traveled leads to an 8.1 percent increase in new cases per capita in the following week, and a 1 percent increase in non-essential visits leads to a 6.9 percent increase in new cases per capita in the following week. Results are stronger in densely populated counties and close to zero in less densely populated counties.

Helping Yourself or Others? Motivation Dynamics for High-Performing Volunteers in GLAM Crowdsourcing
Authors: Alam Sultana Lubna , Sun Ruonan , Campbell John
Published: May 2020

While most crowdsourcing (CS) cases in the literature focus on commercial organisations, little is known about volunteers’ motivation of initial and continued participation in not-for-profit CS projects and importantly, about how the motivations may change over time. It is vital to understand motivation and motivational dynamics in a not-for-profit context because a fundamental challenge for not-for-profit CS initiations is to recruit and keep volunteers motivated without any formal contract or financial incentives. To tackle this challenge, we explore high performing volunteers’ initial motivation for joining and sustaining with a GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) CS project. We situated our interpretive exploration in a case study of the Australian Newspapers CS project initiated by the National Library of Australia. Based on the case study, we found that high-performing volunteers were motivated by a combination of personal, collective, and external factors classified into intrinsic, extrinsic, and internalised extrinsic motivations. Further, we found that these motivations changed over time. Specifically, many volunteers presented substantial personal (i.e., personal interest and fun) and community-centric motivations (i.e. altruism and non-profit cause) when they initially joined the project, whereas external motivations (i.e., recognition and rewards) had a greater impact on long-term participation. Our findings offer implications for CS system design (e.g., user profiles, tagging and commenting), incentive structure (e.g., reputation-based ranking, leader boards), and relational mechanisms (e.g., open communication channels) to stimulate sustainable contributions for not-for-profit CS initiatives.
Exploring the Use of a Novel Self-Assessment Employability Questionnaire to Evaluate Undergraduate Veterinary Attainment of Professional Attributes: An Explanatory Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Stalin Catherine E.
Published: May 2020

The move to outcome-based education for professional degrees has placed an emphasis on defining what constitutes competencies for a profession. A review of the literature on professional competencies shows the development of professional frameworks that encompass the knowledge, clinical skills, professional skills, and professional attributes regarded as necessary for veterinary graduates. It follows that veterinary education has a responsibility to ensure students have these professional competencies. This study used an explanatory mixed-methods approach to determine whether veterinary students at the University of Glasgow attained professional skills and attributes. Using a publicly available employability framework developed as part of the VetSet2Go project, a quantitative comparison was made between students of different genders and students from separate year groups. Focus groups from these year groups explored the potential reasons for the scores and where the employability attributes were acquired. Participants were asked to provide feedback on the usefulness of the employability self-assessment tool. Data analysis showed that students tended to score themselves low on self-confidence and high on trustworthiness. Fourth-year students tended to score themselves lower on each attribute than second-year students. Results indicate that students are aware of the provision of teaching interventions for the development of certain attributes, but they feel some attributes are gained through experience and recognize the importance of school culture; university provides a period for socialization in a professional identity. Self-confidence is important for well-being and for bringing value to future employers, and educators should consider ways to improve this attribute.
An Inter-Institutional External Peer-Review Process to Evaluate Educators at Schools of Veterinary Medicine

Published: May 2020

Despite its fundamental importance, the educational mission of most schools of veterinary medicine receives far less recognition and support than the missions of research and discovery. This disparity is evident in promotion and tenure processes. Despite the frequent assertion that education is every college’s core mission, there is a broad consensus that faculty are promoted primarily on the basis of meeting expectations relative to publications and grant funding. This expectation is evident in the promotion packets faculty are expected to produce and the criteria by which those packets are reviewed. Among the outcomes is increasing difficulty in hiring and retaining faculty, including young clinicians and basic scientists who are drawn to academic institutions because of the opportunity to teach. The Regional Teaching Academy (RTA) of the West Region Consortium of Colleges of Veterinary Medicine initiated an inter-institutional collaboration to address the most important obstacles to recognizing and rewarding teaching in its five member colleges. Working from the medical education literature, the RTA developed an Educator’s Promotion Dossier, workshops to train promotion applicants, and an external review process. Initial use has shown that the reviews are efficient and complete. Administrators have expressed strong support for the product, a letter of external review that is returned to a promotion applicant’s home institution. The overall result is an evidence-based, structured process by which teaching-intensive faculty can more fully document their achievements in teaching and educational leadership and a more rigorous external review process by which member colleges can assess quality, impact, and scholarly approach.
Dopuszczalność potwierdzenia czynności prawnych dokonanych w braku lub z przekroczeniem umocowania do działania za wyznaniową osobę prawną, w świetle nowelizacji art. 39 kodeksu cywilnego
Authors: Strzała Marek
Published: May 2020

Z dniem 1 marca 2019 r. zmieniono art. 39 kodeksu cywilnego, wprowadzając jednoznacznie sankcję bezskuteczności zawieszonej umowy zawartej za osobę prawną w braku lub z przekroczeniem umocowania do chwili potwierdzenia lub upływu terminu wyznaczonego do tegoż. W przypadku wyznaniowych osób prawnych dopuszczalność i skuteczność potwierdzenia takiej wadliwej czynności prawnej w wielu przypadkach może budzić poważne wątpliwości. Niejednokrotnie prawo własne nie przewiduje w sposób jasny organu właściwego w sprawach potwierdzania wadliwych oświadczeń woli. Kontrowersje co do skuteczności potwierdzenia powstają także w sytuacji, gdy normy ustrojowe wyznaniowych osób prawnych przewidują wyłącznie poprzedzające zawarcie umowy akty współdziałania podmiotów uczestniczących w wytworzeniu ich woli wewnętrznej. W niektórych przypadkach nie będzie możliwe uzupełnienie brakujących aktów współdziałania z uwagi na ukształtowanie norm kompetencyjnych. Dodatkowo w przypadku zastrzeżenia w prawie własnym wspólnoty religijnej sankcji nieważności dochodzi do rozbieżności pomiędzy systemami prawnymi – prawa państwowego i prawa wewnętrznego.

Stosowanie prawa przez organy Państwa Watykańskiego a zasadnicze problemy jego systemu prawnego
Authors: Dyda Konrad
Published: May 2020

W artykule autor podejmuje refleksję nad zasadniczymi problemami stosowania prawa przez organy Państwa Miasta Watykańskiego, wynikającymi przede wszystkim z przyjętego w nim systemu źródeł prawa. Opiera się on w przeważającej mierze na normach kanonicznych – ustanowionych na potrzeby funkcjonowania Kościoła Katolickiego – oraz recypowanych przepisach prawa włoskiego. Tego typu połączenie powoduje szereg problemów praktycznych, zwłaszcza w sferze zastosowania zasady praworządności na gruncie watykańskiego prawa karnego, które dopuszcza karanie sprawcy bez wyraźnej podstawy prawnej. Jednocześnie kluczową rolę w stosowaniu prawa w Państwie Watykańskim odgrywają osądy moralne, wypracowywane na gruncie nauki Kościoła Katolickiego. W związku z tym autor stawia tezę, że analizy systemu źródeł prawa Państwa Miasta Watykańskiego dają także – unikatową – możliwość badania praktycznego zastosowania klasycznych dla Zachodniej tradycji prawniczej koncepcji, np. prawa naturalnego, bądź sprecyzowania istotnych zagadnień nauki prawa kanonicznego. Ponadto mogą się przyczynić do wyjaśnienia możliwości szerszego zastosowania zasad prawa na etapie jego stosowania, przy jednoczesnym minimum pozytywizacji.

Substantiation of the model of research of the readiness of teachers of higher education institution to professional activity in the context of digitalization of education
Authors: Leyfa Andrey V. , Pavlova Ekaterina V.
Published: May 2020

One of the key problems of modern higher education is the development of programs and teaching methods relevant to the conditions of the digital educational environment, characterized by openness, variability, multiculturalism, polymodality and dynamism. At the same time, the question of the psychological readiness of teachers for activities in the new conditions comes to the fore. The article gives a brief overview of the works on the issue of readiness. The predictors of the university teachers’ readiness for activities in the electronic informational and educational environment are described. The role of the variative and invariant aspects of teachers’ readiness for changes in the system of higher education is shown. A model of the university teachers’ readiness for professional activities in the context of digitalization of education is proposed, which includes selfregulatory, motivational, value-semantic, and operational components; possible methods for diagnosing these components are described.
Mathematical analysis of a penalisation strategy for incompressible elastodynamics
Authors: Caforio F. , Imperiale S.
Published: May 2020

This work addresses the mathematical analysis – by means of asymptotic analysis – of a penalisation strategy for the full discretisation of elastic wave propagation problems in quasi-incompressible media that has been recently developed by the authors. We provide a convergence analysis of the solution to the continuous version of the penalised problem towards its formal limit when the penalisation parameter tends to infinity. Moreover, as a fundamental intermediate step we provide an asymptotic analysis of the convergence of solutions to quasi-incompressible problems towards solutions to purely incompressible problems when the incompressibility parameter tends to infinity. Finally, we further detail the regularity assumptions required to guarantee that the mentioned convergence holds.

Authors: Pan Xue , Chen Ying , Gao Song
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the common tumor in female, the prognostic of which is influenced by a series of factors. In this study, 4 genes relevant to pathological grade in ovarian cancer were screened out by the construction of weighted gene co-expression network analysis. METHODS: GSE9891 with 298 ovarian cancer cases had been used to construct co-expression networks. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses was used to analyze the possible mechanism of genes involved in the malignant process of ovarian cancer. Hub genes were validated in other independent datasets, such as GSE63885, GSE26193 and GSE30161. Survival analysis based on the hub genes was performed by website of Kaplan Meier-plotter. RESULTS: The result based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis indicated that turquoise module has the highest association with pathological grade. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that the genes in turquoise module main enrichment in inflammatory response and immune response. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis revealed that the genes in turquoise module main enrichment in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and chemokine signaling pathway. In turquoise module, a total of 4 hub genes (MS4A4A, CD163, CPR65, MS4A6A) were identified. Then, 4 hub genes were effectively verified in the test datasets (GSE63885, GSE26193 and GSE30161) and tissue samples from Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University. Survival analysis indicated that the 4 hub genes were associated with poor progression-free survival of ovarian cancer. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, 4 hub genes (MS4A4A, CD163, CPR65, MS4A6A) were verified associated with pathological grade of ovarian cancer. Moreover, MS4A4A, CD163, MS4A6A may serve as a surface marker for M2 macrophages. Targeting the 4 hub genes may can improve the prognosis of ovarian cancer.

BACKGROUND: Calcium and vitamin D deficiency is common among Iranian women of childbearing age and poses adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D and calcium in a sample of Iranian pregnant women and to assess its correlation with the feto-maternal outcomes. METHODS: In this prospective cross-sectional study, a sample of pregnant women between 15 to 45 years who were in the third trimester were recruited from a number of hospitals in Tehran. Data were collected by the means of a self-developed questionnaire, interviews, physical examination, and paraclinical tests including measuring the serum level of calcium, vitamin D, parathormone (PTH) and phosphorous (Pi). The questionnaire obtained information on age, level of education, socio-economic status, parity, gravidity, calcium intake during pregnancy, as well as feto-maternal outcomes. RESULTS: We included a total number of 233 singleton pregnancies. Most of the subjects (58.4%) had vitamin D deficiency and 12.0% suffered from severe vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was adversely associated with the years of education (p= 0.007), serum level of parathormone (p< 0.001). The Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) (p< 0.001), the exercise sequence per week (p< 0.001), sun exposure (p< 0.001), higher rate of sunscreen usage (p= 0.011) and higher BMI (p= 0.005). Vitamin D deficiency was associated with higher rate of cesarean delivery (p= 0.024), higher rate of diastolic hypertension (p= 0.019), higher rate of neonatal jaundice (p= 0.009) and higher rate of neonatal respiratory infections (p< 0.001). Serum level of PTH was a significant risk factor for severe vitamin D deficiency while calcium D supplementation, MET and sunscreen were significant protective factors. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy among Iranian women is extremely high and is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including cesarean delivery, neonatal jaundice and neonatal respiratory infections. Low vitamin D supplementation and sun exposure, lack of physical activity and high BMI are the etiologies. Increasing the knowledge along with vitamin D supplementation during the pregnancy is recommended in Iranian population.
The comparison study on employees’ adoption of public and enterprise social networks
Authors: Qi Jiayin , Wu Lianren , Xiong Miaomiao , Hu Shuaibo
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: The social network services (SNSs), such as Facebook, Twitter, Yammer and Slack etc., allow users to post short messages on topics ranging from personal hobbies and interests to working messages and knowledge. However, the answers to how use context and participation behavior pattern influence individual’s engagement in social network services still remain vague. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to find out the adoption mechanism in two contexts – Enterprise social network services (ESNs) and Public social network services (PSNs). METHODS: This paper adopts the methods of literature research, questionnaire survey and statistical analysis. The research model was established by structural equation and analyzed by AMOS software. RESULTS: Our empirical results show that the use of social network platforms is to a certain extent embedded both in the use context (public or enterprise) and in different kinds of participation modes (original participation or secondary participation). For both ESNs and PSNs, perceived playfulness is the most important adoption factor in both participations, while perceived usefulness just works for the original participation. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with ESNs that are weighted in favor of the utilitarian-oriented perspective, PSNs are inclined to be more hedonic-oriented. The findings offer us novel insights on understanding and applying social network services.
Deep learning-based video surveillance system managed by low cost hardware and panoramic cameras
Authors: Benito-Picazo Jesus , Domínguez Enrique , Palomo Esteban J. , López-Rubio Ezequiel
Published: May 2020

The design of automated video surveillance systems often involves the detection of agents which exhibit anomalous or dangerous behavior in the scene under analysis. Models aimed to enhance the video pattern recognition abilities of the system are commonly integrated in order to increase its performance. Deep learning neural networks are found among the most popular models employed for this purpose. Nevertheless, the large computational demands of deep networks mean that exhaustive scans of the full video frame make the system perform rather poorly in terms of execution speed when implemented on low cost devices, due to the excessive computational load generated by the examination of multiple image windows. This work presents a video surveillance system aimed to detect moving objects with abnormal behavior for a panoramic 360∘ surveillance camera. The block of the video frame to be analyzed is determined on the basis of a probabilistic mixture distribution comprised by two mixture components. The first component is a uniform distribution, which is in charge of a blind window selection, while the second component is a mixture of kernel distributions. The kernel distributions generate windows within the video frame in the vicinity of the areas where anomalies were previously found. This contributes to obtain candidate windows for analysis which are close to the most relevant regions of the video frame, according to the past recorded activity. A Raspberry Pi microcontroller based board is employed to implement the system. This enables the design and implementation of a system with a low cost, which is nevertheless capable of performing the video analysis with a high video frame processing rate.
Multiple attribute decision making method based on DEMATEL and fuzzy distance of trapezoidal fuzzy neutrosophic numbers and its application in typhoon disaster evaluation
Authors: Tan Ruipu , Zhang Wende
Published: May 2020

Trapezoidal fuzzy neutrosophic decision making plays an important role in decision-making processes with uncertain, indeterminate, and inconsistent information. In this paper, we propose a new multi-attribute decision-making method based on decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), fuzzy distance, and linear assignment method (LAM), and we express evaluation values as the trapezoidal fuzzy neutrosophic numbers (TrFNNs). First, attribute weights are obtained using the DEMATEL method and the new fuzzy distance of TrFNNs based on graded mean integration representation is defined. Then, alternatives are ranked using the LAM in operations research. In addition, we make two comparative analyses in the end to illustrate the feasibility and rationality of our method. Finally, an illustrative example about typhoon disaster assessment is presented to show the advantages of the proposed method.

Conflict does not always have to be perceived by destroying or destroying a school. Considerably that the presence of conflict in schools is destructive and that there is a new power for school change and for the people in it. The method of determining whether a conflict can be destructive or constructive can be done through an in-depth analysis study, knowing in advance what the cause of the conflict is, what is the motive of the conflict, why the conflict can occur. From various studies, school conflicts are caused by non-transparent headmasters in financial reporting, arrogant to teachers, students and staff; Make policy at will; Do wild pengutan, and teachers do violence against students during the hours of lessons take place. Conflict can build a school from its non-development, that is, school personnel encourage the conflict to be presented so that leaders can realize that at school there must be a change in leadership management.

Objetivo. Identificar el nivel de conocimiento sobre el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) en estudiantes de secundaria pública posterior a una intervención educativa de enfermería. Metodología. Estudio cuantitativo, cuasiexperimental, longitudinal. Muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 132 estudiantes de una secundaria pública del estado de Aguascalientes, con previo consentimiento informado de los padres o tutores. Se aplicó el instrumento para determinar el conocimiento de los interrogados acerca del VPH, constituido por 15 ítems.  Con un puntaje de 13-15 se califica como excelente y de 1-3 puntos como insuficiente; fue aplicado a través de dos tiempos, antes y después de la intervención, teniendo aceptable confiabilidad, con un alfa de Cronbach 0,754. Para el procesamiento de datos y resultados se utilizó el programa SPSS Statistics versión 22.0- 2013 Resultados. Antes de la intervención educativa, los adolescentes tuvieron un nivel de conocimiento regular del 40.2%; posterior a la intervención educativa, el nivel de conocimiento que predominó fue excelente en el  68.9% de ellos. Las edades (pre-post intervención educativa) de la población osciló entre los 13 a 15 años de edad, predominando 14 años en el 72.7%. Conclusión. Mediante la aplicación de la intervención educativa de enfermería a los adolescentes de la secundaria pública, se obtuvo mejoría en el conocimiento sobre el virus del papiloma humano. Las intervenciones educativas de enfermería sobre VPH favorecen cambios en las actitudes, en el comportamiento durante la adolescencia e impactan durante toda su vida, ya que, el desconocimiento de las consecuencias de la actividad sexual sin protección, llevan a los adolescentes a incurrir en prácticas de riesgo para la salud.

Issues with Senior Workers in Hong Kong Construction Industry: Preliminary Observations and Intervention Opportunities
Authors: Koh Tas Yong , Rowlinson Steve , Pollock Stephen
Published: May 2020

There is an increasingly larger proportion of workforce 50 years of age or older. This ageing trend is prevalent in the Hong Kong construction industry. The implications of this ageing trend for the construction industry are the decline in workforce productivity due to old age, compromised health, safety, and well-being; and the shortage of workforce. Coupled with various organisational and institutional shortcomings in the industry that lead to unfavourable working environment, these situations not only negatively affect the economic viability of the construction industry but also give rise to other psychosocial problems experienced by the older workers. Despite these situations, we know very little of the conditions older construction workers experience in the construction industry.There is therefore a need to investigate such issues and propose possible interventions to improve the working conditions of the senior workers. With these objectives, in this paper, we first report the findings of a small scale survey on the care of older workers in Hong Kong construction industry, and second propose potential intervention by combining the findings of the survey and our industry observations of the practices implemented by progressive contracting firms in Hong Kong. The findings reveal that despite the industry under appreciation of the ageing workforce, there are interventions implemented by progressive contracting firms that can potentially provide health and safety protection to the workforce of all ages although these firms are small in number. This article is an extended version of a conference paper that appeared as Koh et al. (2019).
Experimental Investigation of Asphaltene Content Effect on Crude Oil/CO2 Minimum Miscibility Pressure

Published: May 2020

Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) is regarded as one of the foremost parameters required to be measured in a CO2 injection process. Therefore, a reasonable approximation of the MMP can be useful for better development of injection conditions as well as planning surface facilities. In this study, the impact of asphaltene content ranging from 3.84 % to 16 % on CO2/heavy oil MMP is evaluated. In this respect, slim tube miscibility and Vanishing Interfacial Tension (VIT) tests are used. Regarding the VIT test, the Interfacial Tension (IFT) is measured by means of two methods including pendant drop and capillary apparatuses, and thereafter the MMP measurement error between slim tube and VIT methods are calculated. Based on the results, by increasing the asphaltene content, the measured MMP by slim tube method increases linearly while that by VIT follows no clear trend. The results also indicate that there is an asphaltene content range within which the MMP error between slim tube and VIT tests is minimized. IFT measurement by pendant drop and Capillary Glass Tube (CGT) methods show that by increasing asphaltene content up to 10.15 %, IFT declines, whereas for further increase in content, IFT increases because of the irregular dispersion of asphaltene in oil droplets.
Stress-on-stress responses of a marine mussel, Perna canaliculus: food limitation reduces the ability to cope with heat stress in juveniles
Authors: Delorme NJ , Biessy L , South PM , Zamora LN , Ragg NLC , Burritt DJ
Published: May 2020

The marine environment is ever-changing, with daily and seasonal variations in factors such as food availability and seawater temperature. These stressors can affect physiological processes in aquatic organisms, resulting in sub-lethal or lethal consequences. This study assessed the effects of food limitation (i.e. fasting) on heat-stress responses in juveniles (~1.3 mm in shell length) of the green-lipped musselPerna canaliculus. Fasting for up to 24 h did not have a significant effect on oxidative damage (protein carbonyls and lipid hydroperoxide accumulation) or the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase) after exposure to heat stress. However, fasting for 54 h and subsequent heat stress resulted in increased oxidative damage and decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes in juvenile mussels. Gene expression of 70 kDa heat shock protein (hsp70) was only significantly affected by heat shock, not nutritional status. Tissue carbohydrate and protein levels were significantly depleted by 54 h of fasting; as these proximate components represent key energy substrates for bivalves, it is suggested that energy limitation contributes to compromised antioxidant activity and predisposition to oxidative damage.

The Selandian (Paleocene) mollusc fauna from Copenhagen, Denmark: the Poul Harder 1920 collection
Authors: Schnetler Kaj Ingemann
Published: May 2020

A detailed study has been made of the molluscan fauna in the material collected by Poul Harder in 1920 from the classical Danish early Selandian (Late Paleocene) locality in the Lellinge Greensand at Sundkrogen (the harbour of Copenhagen). A description is also given of the now submerged locality.

The Harder collection, which has remained virtually unstudied for more than 75 years, is discussed in the interesting historical context that it was not included in the monograph on the Paleocene of Copenhagen by J.P.J. Ravn in 1939. Ravn's study was based on material collected the same year from Sundkrogen by A. Rosenkrantz, and on material collected in the thirties from other localities in the Copenhagen area. Some material collected by A. Rosenkrantz and others, but not dealt with by J.P.J. Ravn, is also included in the present study. The long-lasting controversy about publication rights relating to the Sundkrogen material is recalled.

Twenty-seven new species are introduced, viz. Portlandia (Yoldiella) nielseni n. sp., Plicatula selandica n. sp., Laternula (Laternulina) ravni n. sp., Dentalium (Dentalium) sundkrogensis n. sp., Solariella (Solariella) ravni n. sp., Solariella (Solariella) hauniensis n. sp., Teinostoma (Teinostoma) ledoni n. sp., Entomope kirstineae n. sp., Harrisianella subglabra n. sp., Bittium (Bittium) oedumi n. sp., Cerithiopsidella (Vatopsis) rasmusseni n. sp., Seila (Notoseila) heilmannclauseni n. sp., Seila (Notoseila) anderseni n. sp., Thereitis weinbrechti n. sp., Cirsotrema (Cirsotrema) hauniensis n. sp., Opalia (Pliciscala) thomseni n. sp., Charonia (Sassia) danica n. sp., Siphonalia arlejansseni n. sp., Astyris (Astyris) lappanni n. sp., Streptolathyrus danicus n. sp., Streptolathyrus lemchei n. sp., Cancellaria (sensu lato) jakobseni n. sp., Pseudocochlespira rosenkrantzi gen. et sp. n., Actaeopyramis marcusseni n. sp., Chrysallida (Parthenina) peterseni n. sp., Syrnola (Syrnola) granti n. sp. and Cingulina harderi n. sp. Within the Turridae, Pseudocochlespira n. gen. is established.

A total of 182 taxons are listed. Of these, 36 are new for the Lellinge Greensand, and 60 have not previously been recorded from Sundkrogen. The study demonstrates that several genera have their first occurrence datum in the Selandian. The Selandian mollusc fauna from Sundkrogen and elsewhere in the Copenhagen area has no equivalent in the North Sea Basin, but faunas from boulders of Selandian age from the south-eastern part of Denmark and the southern part of Sweden demonstrate affinities with the Sundkrogen fauna, whereas the fauna from the Kerteminde Marl demonstrates a lesser degree of affinity.

The palaeoenvironment is interpreted as a transgression of the Selandian Sea with erosion of the underlying Danian sediments. The near-shore environment was followed by gradually increasing water depth, resulting in deposits of fine-grained sand and finally dark clay. The dark clay was probably deposited in a deep inlet from the eastern margin of the Selandian Sea.

The Nagssugtoqidian orogen and its transition into the Rinkian orogen to the north were the main focus of the field activities of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in West Greenland in the summer of 2001. This work was carried out within the framework of the Survey’s three-year programme of bedrock mapping and mineral resource evaluation to enhance the understanding of the Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic crustal evolution in the transition zone between the Nagssugtoqidian and Rinkian orogens (Fig. 1). The work in the field season of 2001 comprised geological mapping of the 1:100 000 Kangaatsiaq map sheet described in this paper (Fig. 2), an investigation of the supracrustal rocks at Naternaq / Lersletten (Østergaard et al. 2002, this volume), a geochronological reconnaissance of the southern Rinkian orogen in the northern Disko Bugt region (Garde et al. 2002, this volume), a resource evaluation of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen (Stendal et al. 2002, this volume), a synthesis and interpretation of geophysical data of the central part of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen (Nielsen et al. 2002, this volume) and a report on investigations of the kimberlites and related intrusive rocks in the southern Nagssugtoqidian orogen and its foreland (Jensen et al. 2002, this volume).

Assessment of the mineral resource potential of the region between Sukkertoppen Iskappe and the southern part of Nuussuaq, West Greenland (66°N to 70°15´N; Fig. 1) is part of a regional resource assessment programme of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) for 2000–2003. The year 2000 was dedicated to the compilation of existing data and the outlining of target areas for the field work in 2001 and 2002. This report gives a review of the work related to the gold and base metal potential in the Nordre Strømfjord – Qasigiannguit region, mainly based on results from the 2001 field work. Significant geological data have been collected from the region by the Survey, research groups and exploration companies during the past several decades; see Kalsbeek & Nutman (1996), Connelly & Mengel (2000) and van Gool et al. (2002, this volume) for geology, Steenfelt (2001) for geochemistry and Rasmussen & van Gool (2000) and Nielsen & Rasmussen (2002, this volume) for geophysics. Most of the region is easy of access, and exposures are excellent along the shores of the numerous fjords. However, inland areas may locally have extensive Quaternary cover.
