Thermal Power Plant Fuel Consumption Accounting using “Negative” Member Method in Linear Programming Model for Optimal Generation Dispatch
Authors:   Institute of General Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 172 Antonovycha str., Kyiv, 03150, Ukraine, Shulzhenko S.V.
Published: January 2020

The modified criterion of linear programming (LP) mathematical model for optimal generation dispatch of Integrated Power System’s (IPS) load profile. The fraction of production cost of electricity regarding fuel consumption by thermal power plant (TPP) is formulated as “Negative” member of criterion. The proposed approach is a development of traditional criterion of LP optimal dispatch problem that consists of fixed and variable parts of thermal power plant levelized electricity production cost, which are previously calculated for a fixed number of TPP typical operational modes. The generating capacities under market regulation could sell electricity at different interdependent “electricity markets”, including the most important – “day ahead market” with different prices for each time-slot, e.g. one hour, which depend from demand and therefore essentially driven by variable fraction of production cost of TPP. Due to these reasons the methodology of long-term generating capacities development, that based on uniform stable long-term rules for generators as a subsystem of IPS require modification to take into account the possibility of generator economically efficiently supply electricity for the market during short periods, several hours during one day. Also, the more precise calculation of dependence between fuel consumption and TPP operational mode is required to adequately model TPP as “day ahead market” player. The proposed method enables one to describe correctly dependence of TPP production electricity cost change from operation mode and simplify mathematical formulation of optimal generation dispatch LP model.

Published: January 2020

This present research aims to analyze how the performance management of the Ministry of State Secretary in managing the service of public information. The approach employed in this research is qualitative with descriptive research. To obtain data, the technique used is a literature review through books, journals, articles, and other research. LINDU-DIS is a new breakthrough made by the Deputy Assistant Public Relations to support the implementation of their duties and functions. LINDU-DIS can support providing excellent services to the public who want to obtain information within the Ministry of State Secretary so that it can increase community satisfaction to the Ministry, and in the end, will specifically improve the positive image of the Ministry in the community and generally the government at large. But the thing that needs to be the focus on is that the amount of budget needed in the construction of LINDU-DIS is very large, do not let this budget become ineffective because of the ability of human resources who are not ready to become a barrier in LINDU-DIS operations. Continuous evaluation is also needed to measure the extent to which this program can run and can be replicated by other agencies.Keywords: Public Service, Performance Management, Bureaucracy, Public Information

Librarian-instructors may find the completed worksheets to be useful aids to supplement copyright lectures; student perspectives will be integral because they are generating the examples used in discussion. Although a scholarly communication librarian developed this exercise to help introduce some basic copyright information to an undergraduate studio art and design class, the exercise can be performed in a general educational setting.
Journal Programs and Cross-Disciplinary Research
Authors: Reed Marianne A.
Published: January 2020

In order for innovative cross-disciplinary research to find its audience, it must be easily discovered by scholars, professional practitioners, and the public. Journal publishing programs in libraries operate under the principle that investment in open access publishing of quality peer-reviewed research is the best way to make that research visible to a global audience and to shift control of publishing from commercial entities to the academy. Library publishers are therefore not constrained, as commercial publishers are, by the need to publish only research that will ensure a profit. This means that library publishing programs can provide a home for cross-disciplinary journals that break new ground and that may take time to find an audience.

The lack of a profit imperative for library publishing programs also means that the platform for hosting journals is provided to journals at little or no cost, which makes library publishing very attractive to editors looking for a place to publish a new journal. Once the infrastructure is operational, the cost to add a new journal to the system is negligible because the costs of maintaining the technology are already covered. This lowers the financial barriers to starting new journals, allowing editors to focus on the task of finding and publishing excellent peer-reviewed research instead of fundraising.

Journal platforms used by library publishers are designed so that journals published on those systems automatically follow best practices and standards, such as those outlined by the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-MPH) that make the content readily discoverable by internet search engines. These platforms also integrate the use of machine-readable licenses that clearly indicate how the content can be used. In addition to infrastructure that ensures visibility, library publishing programs benefit from existing library expertise in collaboration, technology, copyright, data management, scholarly publishing, information literacy, digital preservation, and the effective promotion of online research.

Effectiveness and Efficiency of Administrative Appeal Procedures: a Case Study on Tax Disputes in Romania
Authors: Moldovan Octavian , Bucătariu Gabriela
Published: January 2020

The aim of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of (internal) administrative appeal in tax or fiscal matters in Romania, in comparison to the more time and resource consuming court action against an administrative decision imposing fiscal obligations. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of administrative appeals, we analysed data from the reports and documents issued by the Romanian National Agency for Fiscal Administration (NAFA) regarding efficiency related indicators, as well as dispute settlements and the amount of collected tax as effectiveness criteria. Furthermore, data regarding the results of the administrative procedure is compared to the results of the judicial procedure in terms of the number of admitted legal actions that annulled fiscal obligations. The results show that at least in the 2013–2017 period, the administrative procedure was both inefficient and ineffective since, on average, less than 7% of fiscal disputes were solved/settled in favour of the appellant. Moreover, the procedure was rather time consuming – although the disputes should have been settled in 45 days, the answer was provided after 70 days. Hence, the administrative procedure is often seen as a mere stepping stone toward subsequent legal/court actions, with no possibility to provide a satisfactory solution and thus lessen the workload of the court. Surprisingly, the taxpayers seem to consider the courts as a more favourable/efficient means as more than half of legal actions brought against fiscal administrative acts were settled in favour of the taxpayer, i.e. the fiscal obligations were annulled. The effectiveness of the preliminary administrative procedure was further analysed from multiple perspectives pertaining to the players that have a direct or indirect legitimate interest in this procedure. These are (i) the courts, which should/could benefit from a reduced workload if the procedure was effective, (ii) the taxpayers filing administrative appeals, which could have a feasible alternative to the time and resource consuming judicial means, and (iii) the fiscal bodies that issued fiscal administrative acts or that must respond to the appeals. The fact that this procedure is a mandatory predecessor of the judicial one and not an alternative means of dispute resolution seems to significantly impede its efficiency and effectiveness. The results can serve as a basis to analyse and compare the respective data in other countries with similar legal and tax systems.

The Impact of Orgasm on the Development of Female Sexual Experiences at Different Age Stages
Authors: Berdnikov D. , Efanova M.G. , Tkachenko P.V.
Published: January 2020

The data on the effect of the absence or presence of orgasm on the representation in the domain of self-awareness of women of sexual and emotional experience at different age stages is given. 429 women with an average age of sexual debut 18,220,12 years were surveyed anonymously. Between the ages of 18 and 24, 179 women had regularly experienced orgasm, but 37 had not. At the age of 25-60, 186 women had experienced orgasm, and 27 had not. We used the method of sampling experiences. The women noted the signs consistent with their usual experiences during “normal” intercourse. It has been established that the appearance of an orgasm before 25 years of age strengthens and reinforces psychological satisfaction, inner comfort, meeting expectations, sexual interest, intensity of reaction and acceptance of what is happening, weakens dysphoria and shame. At the age of over 25 years, appearance of an orgasm maximally stimulates sexual interest, intensity of response, acceptance of what is happening, sharpness of perception, reduces shame and weakens physical discomfort more strongly. The absence of an orgasm before the age of 25 does not have a bright negative effect. After 25 years, this, first of all, leads to a decrease in sexual interest and mood, increased shame, guilt, hopelessness, and disruption of interpersonal interaction.

A Statistical Method for Associating Earthquakes with Their Source Faults in Southern California
Authors: Evans Walker S. , Plesch Andreas , Shaw John H. , Pillai Natesh L. , Yu Ellen , Meier Men-Andrin , Hauksson Egill
Published: January 2020

We present a new statistical method for associating earthquakes with their source faults in the Southern California Earthquake Center’s 3D Community Fault Models (CFMs; Plesch et al., 2007) in near-real time and for historical earthquakes. The method uses the hypocenter location, focal mechanism orientation, and earthquake sequencing to produce the probabilities of association between a given earthquake and each fault in the CFM as well as the probability that the event occurred on a fault not represented in the CFM. We used a set of known likely associations (the Known Likely Sets) as training or testing data and demonstrated that our models perform effectively on these examples and should be expected to perform well on other earthquakes with similar characteristics including the full catalog of southern California earthquakes (Hauksson et al., 2012). To produce near-real-time associations for future earthquakes, the models have been implemented as an R script and connected to the Southern California Seismic Network data processing system operated by the California Institute of Technology and the U.S. Geological Survey to automatically produce fault associations for earthquakes of M≥3.0 as they occur. To produce historical associations, we apply the method to the most recent CFM version (v.5.2), yielding modeled historical associations for all events of M≥3.0 in the catalog of southern California earthquakes from 1981 to 2016. More than 80% of these events and 99% of moment within the geography covered by the CFM had a primary association with a CFM fault. The models can help identify clusters of small earthquakes that indicate the onset of activity associated with major faults. The method will also assist in communicating objective information about the faults that source earthquakes to the scientific community and general public. In the event of a damaging southern California earthquake, the near-real-time association will provide valuable information regarding the similarity of the current event to forecast scenarios, potentially aiding in earthquake response.
High-Velocity Surface Layer Effects on Rayleigh Waves: Recommendations for Improved Shear-Wave Velocity Modeling
Authors: Gribler Gabriel , Liberty Lee M. , Dylan Mikesell T.
Published: January 2020

Soil stiffness estimates are critical to geologic hazard and risk assessment in urban centers. Multichannel analysis of surface-wave (MASW) data collection along city streets is now a standard, cost-effective, and noninvasive soil stiffness approximation tool. With this approach, shear-wave velocities (VS) are derived from Rayleigh-wave signals. Although the current MASW practice is to neglect the effect of a high-velocity road layer on soil VS estimates, our models show measurable impacts on Rayleigh-wave amplitudes and phase velocities when seismic data are acquired on a road surface. Here, we compare synthetic models with field MASW and downhole VS measurements. Our modeling indicates that a road layer attenuates Rayleigh-wave signals across all frequencies, introduces coherent higher-mode signals, and leads to overestimated VS and VS30 values. We show that VS30 can be overestimated by more than 7% when soft soils underlie a rigid road surface. Inaccurate VS estimates can lead to improper soil classification and bias earthquake site-response estimates. For road-based MASW data analysis, we recommend incorporating a surface road layer in the Rayleigh-wave inversion to improve VS estimate accuracy with depth.
Variability of ETAS Parameters in Global Subduction Zones and Applications to Mainshock–Aftershock Hazard Assessment
Authors: Zhang Lizhong , Werner Maximilian J. , Goda Katsuichiro
Published: January 2020

Megathrust earthquake sequences can impact buildings and infrastructure due to not only the mainshock but also the triggered aftershocks along the subduction interface and in the overriding crust. To give realistic ranges of aftershock simulations in regions with limited data and to provide time-dependent seismic hazard information right after a future giant shock, we assess the variability of the epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model parameters in subduction zones that have experienced M≥7.5 earthquakes, comparing estimates from long time windows with those from individual sequences. Our results show that the ETAS parameters are more robust if estimated from a long catalog than from individual sequences, given individual sequences have fewer data including missing early aftershocks. Considering known biases of the parameters (due to model formulation, the isotropic spatial aftershock distribution, and finite size effects of catalogs), we conclude that the variability of the ETAS parameters that we observe from robust estimates is not significant, neither across different subduction-zone regions nor as a function of maximum observed magnitudes. We also find that ETAS parameters do not change when multiple M 8.0–9.0 events are included in a region, mainly because an M 9.0 sequence dominates the number of events in the catalog. Based on the ETAS parameter estimates in the long time period window, we propose a set of ETAS parameters for future M 9.0 sequences for aftershock hazard assessment (K0=0.04±0.02, α=2.3, c=0.03±0.01, p=1.21±0.08, γ=1.61±0.29, d=23.48±18.17, and q=1.68±0.55). Synthetic catalogs created with the suggested ETAS parameters show good agreement with three observed M 9.0 sequences since 1965 (the 2004 M 9.1 Aceh–Andaman earthquake, the 2010 M 8.8 Maule earthquake, and the 2011 M 9.0 Tohoku earthquake).

Authors: KALKAN Bilal , CAN Nesime
Published: January 2020

Supervision is one of the
main elements of counseling and counselor education, and counselor education
programs require counselor trainees to complete practicum and internship under
supervision as a practical part of counselor education curriculum in the United
States. However, supervision is a fairly new concept in Turkey. This paper
explains the foundation of supervision along with its international and
national standards. Then, the paper addresses the role of the supervisee and
the supervisor as well as providing a brief explanation of supervision models
that are commonly being used. The current state of clinical supervision and
growing supervision literature in Turkey are being explored by providing a
discussion and a review of supervision related studies in Turkey from 2010 to
2019. Further, the lack of national standards for supervision and limitations
of supervision are discussed. In the end, recommendations for counselor
educators, policymakers, and future researchers are presented.

¿Los mismos perros con distintos collares? Solución de continuidad entre la “Tercera fuerza” y la tecnocracia española
Authors: Zaratiegui Jesús M. , García Velasco Alberto
Published: January 2020

La política cultural, económica y social del franquismo vino marcada por las características ideológicas del grupo que en cada momento controlaba la agenda del régimen. En un primer periodo (1939-57) esta pugna se establece entre falangistas y el grupo del CSIC/Arbor. En el segundo (1957-75) contenderán para tomar las riendas el grupo falangista y los tecnócratas. Es fácil postular la continuidad de ideas, aunque con personas distintas. Entre los falangistas la realización de su revolución pendiente será la guía de acción. Más problemática es la continuidad del 2º grupo. Es posible identificar vínculos entre los tradicionalistas y la institución religiosa Opus Dei. Pero subsiste la duda sobre la existencia de una estrategia tradicionalista/Opus Dei de control del Estado que se crearía como una plataforma cultural, para más tarde convertirse en proyecto político/económico.
Extranjeras y españolas en una colonización agraria. Las mujeres en las nuevas poblaciones de Sierra Morena y Andalucía (Siglo XVIII)
Authors: Hamer-Flores Adolfo
Published: January 2020

El campo historiográfico centrado en mujer, familia o vida cotidiana constituye para el caso concreto de las Nuevas Poblaciones de Sierra Morena y Andalucía casi un verdadero páramo. Las investigaciones han sido escasas y de calidad muy desigual a pesar de que las mujeres constituyeron la mitad de la población o de que es difícil evaluar el grado de éxito de una colonización agraria sin conocer los principales rasgos de su existencia. Es por ello por lo que nuestro objetivo aquí consistirá en realizar una aproximación a esas mujeres, tanto extranjeras como españolas, protagonistas de la colonización a través de tres grandes indicadores: su papel en la sociedad, su adaptación a un entorno muy diferente y su imagen en elementos artísticos.

Development of Clusters in Poland
Authors: Vaupot Zoran
Published: January 2020

Similar recent history (former communist economies), geographical position (central Europe), relatively small size (except Poland), political systems (parliamentary democracies) and EU membership define Visegrad countries as the perfect group to compare with Slovenia. When we analyse the stock of inward foreign direct investments (IFDI) in comparison to GDP in Slovenia and all Visegrad countries, noticeable differences appear. With 30.5% (December 2016) the stock of IFDI in Slovenia was much lower than the comparable data for Poland (39.4%), Slovakia (48.8%), Czech Republic (60.0%) and Hungary (64.3%). Also the trend of the IFDI share of GDP shows that the differences between Slovenia and Visegrad countries will not diminish noticeably in the forthcoming years. We try to verify whether the explanation of this phenomenon can be realized with the help of well-known cross-cultural models. In other words, is there a country-specific cultural dimension which influences whether Slovenia receives less IFDI than the Visegrad countries? In what ways is this dimension an influence on Slovenia receiving less IFDI? We conclude that the lack of IFDI has to be attributed to Slovenian particularities rather than significant cross-cultural differences when compared to Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
CONSPIRACY THINKING INVENTORY (CTI) – CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION STUDY
Authors: Stojanov Jelka , Stanisavljavić Sara , Tatić Višnja , Pantić Aleksa
Published: January 2020

Conspiracy thinking is defined as a form of reasoning about events and situations of personal, social, and historical significance, where “conspiracies” are a dominant factor. This research aims to construct and validate Conspiracy Thinking Inventory (CTI), which purpose is to measure general propensity for conspiracy thinking, rather than beliefs in specific conspiracy theories. Study 1 (N = 356), a preliminary version of CTI consisting of 93 items, was constructed and subsequently shortened to 23 items arranged in 4 facets: Control of Information, Government Malfeasance, Threat towards One’s Own Country, Threat towards Personal Well-being. In Study 2 (N = 180), factor structure and validity of CTI were tested, resulting in a two-factor solution: Conspiracy Thinking Aimed at Health and Well-being (CT), and Attitudes towards the Government Institutions and Representatives (AtGI). The pattern of correlations between CT and relevant constructs confirmed its convergent validity, and CT was also shown to be a good predictor of beliefs in specific conspiracy theories. Previously confirmed convergent and criterion validity and its psychometric characteristics show that CTI may be used as an indicator of conspiracy thinking. Nevertheless, divergent validity has yet to be confirmed by using other constructs (e.g., personality traits). Despite not having been foreseen, extraction of the second factor might be the consequence of using items with predominantly political content. This factor was not correlated with any external criteria which indicate that it does not reflect conspiracy thinking.

Authors: Sharma Abhishek , Mathur Aditya , Stålsby Lundborg Cecilia , Pathak Ashish
Published: January 2020

Diarrhoea contributes significantly in the under-five childhood morality and mortality worldwide. This cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in Ujjain, India from July 2015 to June 2016. Consecutive children aged 1 month to 12 years having “some dehydration” and “dehydration” according to World Health Organization classification were eligible to be included in the study. Other signs and symptoms used to assess severe dehydration were capillary refill time, urine output, and abnormal respiratory pattern. A questionnaire was administered to identify risk factors for severe dehydration, which was the primary outcome. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was used to detect independent risk factors for severe dehydration. The study included 332 children, with mean ± standard deviation age of 25.62 ± 31.85 months; out of which, 70%(95% confidence interval [CI] 65 to 75) were diagnosed to have severe dehydration. The independent risk factors for severe dehydration were: child not exclusive breast fed in the first six months of life (AOR 5.67, 95%CI 2.51 to 12.78; p<0.001), history of not receiving oral rehydration solution before hospitalization (AOR 1.34, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.78; p=0.038), history of not receiving oral zinc before hospitalization (AOR 2.66, 95%CI 1.68 to 4.21; p<0.001) and living in overcrowded conditions (AOR 5.52, 95%CI 2.19 to 13.93; p<0.001). The study identified many risk factors associated with severe childhood dehydration; many of them are modifiable though known and effective public health interventions.
Measurement and Modeling of the 3-D Solar Irradiance for Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaic
Authors: Araki Kenji , Ota Yasuyuki , Yamaguchi Masafumi
Published: January 2020

The energy yield of the Vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) differs from that of the standard photovoltaics (PV). It is mainly by the difference of the solar irradiance onto the car-roof and car-bodies as well as its curved-shape. Both meaningful and practical modeling and measurement of the solar irradiance for VIPV are needed to be newly established, not the extension of the current technologies. The solar irradiance was modeled by a random distribution of the shading objects and car-orientation with the correction of the curved surface of the PV modules. The measurement of the solar irradiance onto the car-roof and car-body was done using five pyranometers in five local axes on the car for one year. The measured dynamic solar irradiance onto the car-body and car-roof was used for validation of the solar irradiance model in the car.

Automatic Neume Transcription of Medieval Music Manuscripts using CNN/LSTM-Networks and the segmentation-free CTC-Algorithm
Authors: Wick Christoph , Puppe Frank
Published: January 2020

The automatic recognition of scanned Medieval manuscripts still represents a challenge due to degradation, non standard layouts, or notations. This paper focuses on the Medieval square notation developed around the 11th century which is composed of staff lines, clefs, accidentals, and neumes which are basically connected single notes. We present a novel approach to tackle the automatic transcription by applying CNN/LSTM networks that are trained using the segmentation-free CTC-loss-function which considerably facilitates the GT-production. For evaluation, we use three different manuscripts and achieve a dSAR of 86.0% on the most difficult book and 92.2% on the cleanest one. To further improve the results, we apply a neume dictionary during decoding which yields a relative improvement of about 5%.

Being a chilling-sensitive staple crop, rice (Oryza sativa L.) is vulnerable to climate change. The competence of rice to withstand chilling stress should, therefore, be enhanced through technological tools. The present study employed chemical intervention like application of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) as nitric oxide (NO) donor and elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms of NO-mediated chilling tolerance in rice. At germination stage, germination indicators were interrupted by chilling stress (5.0 ± 1.0°C for 8 h day‒1), while pretreatment with 100 μM SNP markedly improved the indicators. At seedling stage (14-day-old), chilling stress caused stunted growth with visible toxicity along with alteration of biochemical markers, for example, increase in oxidative stress markers (superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and malondialdehyde) and osmolytes (total soluble sugar; proline and soluble protein content, SPC), and decrease in chlorophyll (Chl), relative water content (RWC), and antioxidants. However, NO application attenuated toxicity symptoms with improving growth performance which might be attributed to enhanced activities of antioxidants, mineral contents, Chl, RWC and SPC. Furthermore, principal component analysis indicated that water imbalance and increased oxidative damage were the main contributors to chilling injury, whereas NO-mediated mineral homeostasis and antioxidant defense were the critical determinants for chilling tolerance in rice. Collectively, our findings revealed that NO protects against chilling stress through valorizing cellular defense mechanisms, suggesting that exogenous application of NO could be a potential tool to evolve cold tolerance as well as climate resilience in rice.
Reproductive Injustice at the US Border

The detention of immigrants inside US borders is not a new phenomenon. However, a dramatic shift has occurred in both the number and treatment of immigrants in detention.

We examine recent changes in immigration policies that have systematized the mistreatment of children and pregnant immigrants, including a ban on abortion for unaccompanied minors in immigration detention, the neglect and mistreatment of pregnant immigrants in detention, and the separation and prolonged detention of parents and children in unsafe facilities.

We employ the reproductive justice framework to demonstrate how these policies violate all 3 primary values of reproductive justice: the right to have children, the right not to have children, and the right to parent children in safe and secure environments. We argue that, when analyzed through the lens of reproductive justice, these policies can be seen as manifestations of a single targeted strategy to control the reproductive autonomy of migrants as a tool of immigration enforcement. We conclude with a call to action to the public health community.
Transferring Racial/Ethnic Marketing Strategies From Tobacco to Food Corporations: Philip Morris and Kraft General Foods

Published: January 2020

Objectives. To investigate the transfer of marketing knowledge and infrastructure for targeting racial/ethnic minorities from the tobacco to the food and beverage industry in the United States.

Methods. We analyzed internal industry documents between April 2018 and April 2019 from the University of California San Francisco Truth Tobacco Industry Documents Library, triangulated with other sources.

Results. In the 1980s, Philip Morris Companies purchased General Foods and Kraft Foods and created Kraft General Foods. Through centralized marketing initiatives, Philip Morris Companies directly transferred expertise, personnel, and resources from its tobacco to its food subsidiaries, creating a racial/ethnic minority–targeted food and beverage marketing program modeled on its successful cigarette program. When Philip Morris Companies sold Kraft General Foods in 2007, Kraft General Foods had a “fully integrated” minority marketing program that combined target marketing with racial/ethnic events promotion, racial/ethnic media outreach, and corporate donations to racial/ethnic leadership groups, making it a food industry leader.

Conclusions. The tobacco industry directly transferred racial/ethnic minority marketing knowledge and infrastructure to food and beverage companies. Given the substantial growth of food and beverage corporations, their targeting of vulnerable populations, and obesity-related disparities, public policy and community action is needed to address corporate target marketing.

Arroyo San Fernando, on the Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico, provides a superb view of the architecture of a Maastrichtian active margin slope channel system and the record of its evolution through a third-order sea-level cycle. The succession is organized into architectural building blocks (channel-complex sets) consisting of a channel belt with an axial region and a channel-belt margin of terraces and internal levees. The channel belt is confined by an external levee on one side and by an erosion surface into the slope on the other. Each channel-complex set can be subdivided into three stages of evolution: Stage I consists of highly amalgamated coarse-grained channel complexes, Stage II consists of gravelly meander belts with marginal and stratigraphically intervening thin-bedded turbidites, and Stage III consists of mudstones representing abandonment. This succession is associated with repeated and therefore predictable changes in architecture, facies distribution, inferred seafloor morphology, and sedimentary process. We describe variability in the sedimentology, ichnology, palynology, provenance, and inferred sedimentary processes between and within these architectural elements. Channel formation and fill are attributed to erosion, sediment transport, and deposition by turbidity currents and lesser debris flows. Ichnology indicates enhanced oxygenation and supply of organic material, substrate type, and turbidity within the channel belt; the axial region can be differentiated from the terraces by differing response to turbidity-current intensity. Levee environments show ichnological gradients away from the channel towards background slope. Palynology reflects confinement of the supply of terrigenous material to the channel belt, but is also indicative of stratification within the turbidity-currents, as is the distribution of heavy minerals. Provenance is from the extinct part of the continental-margin arc to the east, via high-gradient gravelly streams and across a steep shoreline, with direct supply of coastal material to deep water. Architectural hierarchy bears comparison with other slope channel systems, but in common with them the fill represents only a small fraction of the time that the system was active.

Background: In the Swedish population-based follow-up program and national quality registry for individuals with cerebral palsy (CPUP), physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) treatments are regularly recorded along with functional status. By Swedish law, all citizens irrespective of personal characteristics or socioeconomic status have the right to receive healthcare and medical treatments as applicable. Previous research has shown gender differences in treatments and interventions received by children with cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this study was to examine differences in treatments and interventions by gender and place of birth in children and adolescents participating in CPUP. Methods: This was a cross-sectional registry study. Data from the latest PT (n = 2635) and OT assessment forms (n = 3480) in CPUP were extracted for individuals aged 0-17 years. Logistic regressions were used to assess the relationships between the outcome variables and gender and place of birth (including an interaction term gender X place of birth), adjusted for age, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels and spasticity scores for PT interventions and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) for OT interventions. Results: Results are presented as odds ratios [95% confidence intervals] and p-values. Girls were significantly more likely to have spinal braces than boys; 1.54 [1.07, 2.22] p<0.05, a significant interaction with place of birth indicated fewer spinal braces prescribed to children born outside of the Nordic countries; 0.20 [0.079, 0.53] p<0.001. Girls were less likely to have undergone selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR); 0.49 [0.25, 0.94] p<0.05. Individuals born outside of the Nordic countries, were significantly less likely to have received intrathecal baclofen (ITB) 0.27 [0.074, 0.98] p<0.05. Conclusions: Of the treatments prescribed, gender differences were observed for spinal braces and having undergone SDR. A statistically significant difference based on place of birth was noted for spinal bracing and having received ITB treatment. Other PT and OT treatments were associated with age, levels of spasticity, and functional severity as classified with the GMFCS and the MACS. Increased awareness of differences based on gender, and where a child is born, could be obtained by inter- and intraprofessional discussions.
