ABSTRACT
Integration of core data with high resolution sequence stratigraphic well-log correlations from over 300 wells indicates that the elongate sandstone bodies which compose the Upper Cretaceous Shannon Sandstone at Hartzog Draw were deposited by tide-dominated deltas consisting of stacked, upward-coarsening tidal bars. Correlation of regional stratal surfaces suggests that the Shannon Sandstone comprises a sequence set which can be informally subdivided into 3 unconformity-bounded depositional sequences: Copenhagen Blue, Crimson Red, and Canary Yellow. The Copenhagen Blue sequence boundary is a regional unconformity at the base of the Shannon Sandstone which separates distal tidal-bar deposits from offshore mudstones of the Cody Shale. The overlying Crimson Red sequence is the main reservoir interval at Hartzog Draw and is dominated by high reservoir quality, proximal tidal-bar sandstones. The highly erosional Canary Yellow sequence boundary forms the trap at Hartzog Draw by juxtaposing the reservoir sandstones of the Crimson Red sequence with the overlying distal tidal bars to offshore mudstones of the Canary Yellow sequence. Thickness trends within the Shannon Sandstone are interpreted as the product of variable incision associated with southeast-trending incised valleys.
The continuity of reservoir facies within these bar complexes is quite variable depending upon the lateral and vertical association of facies. In a strike orientation, lateral amalgamation of sandstone-prone, proximal bar complexes produces a relatively high degree of lateral continuity. Lateral amalgamation of mud-prone, distal bar complexes, however, produces a relatively low degree of lateral continuity. Bar complexes in a dip direction display a distinct “off lapping,” shingled geometry in the direction of bar accretion and a lower degree of continuity. This is due to depositional thinning, and increasing proportions of interlaminated mud and non-reservoir sandstones in a basinward (southward) direction. Understanding the distribution and depositional trend of the tidal bars therefore allows recognition of areas with potentially higher reservoir quality and targets for future infill drilling.
SOUTH RAVENSPURN GAS FIELD, OFFSHORE UNITED KINGDOM: SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY AND HETEROGENEITY MODELLING IN A LOW PERMEABILITY CONTINENTAL RESERVOIR
Authors: SWEET M. L. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
South Ravenspurn Field, located in UKCS blocks 42/30 and 43/26, is a large (&gt; 1 TCF gas initially in place) dry gas field that is currently producing from 22 vertical, hydraulically fractured wells. The reservoir is the Lower Leman Sandstone of the Permian Rotliegend Group. As the field is at the edge of the Lower Leman Sandstone play fairway, reservoir quality is poor.
In 1996 to assess the potential for drilling infill wells the South Ravenspurn geologic and reservoir engineering models were completely rebuilt. By recognizing eolian sequence boundaries, lacustrine transgressive surfaces and maximum flooding surfaces a high-resolution stratigraphic framework was established for the field using core and wireline data. This framework was critical to understanding the continuity of eolian facies flow units and the effects on vertical transmissibility of lacustrine highstand shales. Based on this framework and outcrop analogs a 3-D geologic model of the reservoir was constructed using geostatistical techniques. This model had strongly deterministic elements to honor the facies trends seen regionally and the occurrence of facies changes at major stratigraphic boundaries. Rock properties were assigned to each facies based on core, wireline and well test data.
The resulting geologic model was upscaled to a full-field simulation model. During the history matching process data on gas production and reservoir pressure were used to improve the fine-scale geologic description. The resulting full-field model predicted lateral depletion of the higher permeability eolian units and poor vertical drainage of the reservoir.
CHARACTERIZATION OF A SHALLOW MARINE SANDSTONE RESERVOIR IN A SYN-RIFT SETTING: THE BENTHEIM SANDSTONE FORMATION (VALANGINIAN) OF THE RÜHLERMOOR FIELD, LOWER SAXONY BASIN, NW GERMANY

ABSTRACT
The Bentheim Sandstone Formation is of Valanginian age and consists of several sheet-like bodies (each up to tens of meters thick) located in the western part of the Lower Saxony Basin of NW Germany. This study compares the reservoir characteristics of the Bentheim Sandstone Formation at outcrop in the Bad Bentheim area and in the subsurface where it forms an oil reservoir in the Riihlermoor field. The formation is interpreted to have been deposited along a tidal, embayed coastline at the margin of a small, partially enclosed sea. Rapid thickness variations of the total unit suggest it was deposited in a syn-rift setting of horst and graben. Toward the south and east, the sandstone interfingers with basinal shales.
Outcrop facies analysis has identified three main facies associations: (1) a tide-influenced fluvial deltaic association; (2) a wave-influenced fluvial deltaic association, and (3) a tide-dominated deltaic association. All three facies associations are sand-dominated. Progradation of the deltaic system in all three cases resulted in the formation of sandier-upward facies successions composed of mudstone or heterolithic facies in the lower part and cleaner, more massive sandstone in the upper part. Comparison with contemporaneously deposited reservoir sandstones has been assisted by the collection of outcrop gamma ray and permeability data.
A stratigraphic methodology derived from study of outcrop can be applied to the subsurface. In both outcrop and subsurface, the Bentheim Sandstone Formation can be subdivided into three genetic sequences (Bentheim 1, 2 and 3) which are retrogradationally stacked, back-stepping toward the basin margin in a north-westerly direction. Genetic sequences are used to define progradational-retrogradational phases of deposition within which stacked, sandier-upward successions form a stratigraphic subunit correlatable over several kilometers. These subunits are recognized in the subsurface and are interpreted to possess a sigmoidal geometry.
Sedimentation was strongly influenced by synsedimentary tectonism. This tectonic influence focused deltaic depositional systems into a series of W-E and NW-SE oriented grabens. In both the outcrop and subsurface areas this influence is strong and has a marked control on the distribution of facies and, consequently, on reservoir thickness and quality.
Simulation: A Training Resource for Quality Care and Improving Patient Safety

Published: October 2019

Patient safety is an ever-present topic in the discussion of educators. It has been 20 years since the publication of To Err Is Human, and there are lessons learned, although there is still much to be done. Healthcare systems are becoming increasingly complex, putting the safety of patients at risk. In this context, there is a greater exposure of healthcare professionals to medical-legal liability issues and to becoming victims of situations that are often preventable. Nurses and medical doctors are especially exposed to these situations, since they are visible during procedures, or do so during the points of greater risk during the patient care process. This chapter will review the contribution provided by the curricular integration of simulation-based education as a tool to train technical and nontechnical issues and how this work can be done for the safety of patients through a standardized training plan, under controlled and evaluated processes. We will discuss how resources and elements allow to perform healthcare interventions in a more safely manner. Finally, we will review the existing literature, some experiences, and the available evidence on this topic.

Published: October 2019

Phelan-McDermid (PMS) or 22q13 deletion syndrome (OMIM 606232) is a rare genetic disorder with highly variable clinical presentation. The phenotype includes generalized neonatal hypotonia, developmental delay with intellectual disability and delayed speech, mild dysmorphic features, and autistic behavior. The genetic defects of PMS consist of 22q13.3 deletions or chromosomal structural rearrangements involving SHANK3 gene; the loss of function mutations of SHANK3 gene was reported in a minority of cases. The 22q13.3 deletions vary in size, from 0.2 to over 9 Mb, and, although larger deletions are generally associated with more severe phenotypes, the genotype-phenotype correlations are not clear-cut for all patients. SHANK3 is considered the main candidate gene for the neurologic features of PMS. PMS is a rare disorder, often underdiagnosed. There are no established clinical diagnostic criteria for PMS. The genetic tests typically used are chromosomal microarray and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for copy number analysis of SHANK3 gene; next-generation sequencing (NGS) or Sanger sequencing is used for pathogenic mutation screening of SHANK3. In this chapter, we report three cases with PMS and summarize the clinical and genetic diagnostic approaches of this condition, highlighting the role of chromosomal microarray technology in the identification of rare, but significantly impacting patient’s life, DNA copy number abnormalities.
Las vías pecuarias de la región de Murcia. Valoración y potencialidades como recurso turístico = The Paths for Livestock of the Region of Murcia. Assessment and Potentiality as a Tourist Resource
Authors: Sánchez Sánchez Miguel Ángel 
Published: October 2019

Las vías pecuarias son un legado histórico y cultural destacado. La Región de Murcia cuenta con un buen número de estas. Conocer sobre el carácter patrimonial de las mismas y elementos asociados es una cuestión de interés. Para ello se analiza la red de vías pecuarias, anexos y elementos próximos existentes en la Región de Murcia. Además de su posible calificación como caminos paisajísticos regionales. Estas infraestructuras cuentan con un destacado valor patrimonial, dotándolas de atractivo turístico y convirtiéndolas en un recurso complementario de la oferta turística regional. Dado que discurren por todo el territorio regional permiten el acercamiento a la gran diversidad de paisajes con que cuenta la Región, así como el desplazamiento por los mismos, de ahí que se justifique su denominación como caminos paisajísticos regionales. AbstractThe paths for livestock are a remarkable historical and cultural legacy. The Region of Murcia has a good number of these. Knowing about the patrimonial nature of the same and associated elements is a matter of interest. To this end, the net work of livestock trails, annexes and nearby elements exiting in the Region of Murcia is analyzed. In addition to its possible qualification as regional landscape roads. These infrastructures have an outstanding patrimonial value, endowing them with tourist attraction and turning them into tourist resource complementary to the regional tourist offer. Since they run throughout the regional territory allow the approach to the great diversity of landscapes that the Region has, as well as the displacement by them, hence its name is justified as regional landscape roads.
Mourning My Mother: An Exploration of the Complex Emotions Elicited by the Terminal Illness of an Estranged Parent
Authors: Pedersen Anne Bettina 
Published: October 2019

In 2017, I learned that my estranged mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. This article explores the conflicting emotional responses I have had following the decision not to reconnect with my mother, not to provide care for her during her illness, and not to attend her funeral (when the time comes). This study combines my own creative explorations of child neglect, through autophenomenography, with examinations of autobiographical accounts of mother-daughter relationships and literature on family estrangement and the loss of a parent. I suggest that I already ‘read’ myself as a motherless daughter, and that caring, (re)mourning, and (re)grieving for my mother would entail reentering a dysfunctional dyad and opening up past wounds. There appear to be few resources to draw on regarding how to navigate this particular emotional terrain. This article does not intend to provide a prescriptive model for this type of loss, but rather aims at opening up for queer modes of grieving and mourning and suggests that, in some cases, the denial of care for an estranged parent translates into self-care and self-preservation.
L’Union européenne et le droit au séjour dérivé des ressortissants d’États tiers consacré par la CJUE : l’affaire Rendón Marín et ses conséquences
Authors: Gardey de Soos Blandine 
Published: October 2019

L’arrêt Rendon Marin du 13 septembre 2016 fut pour la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne l’occasion de réaffirmer le principe d’une protection « remontante » attachée à la citoyenneté européenne. Ainsi, le ressortissant d’un pays tiers parent d’un enfant citoyen européen peut-il se prévaloir d’un droit au séjour sur le territoire de l’Union européenne dérivé de celui du mineur. Toute dérogation à ce principe nécessite que le ressortissant étranger présente une menace réelle et actuelle pour un intérêt fondamental de la société qui l’accueille. Nouvelle illustration du contrôle de proportionnalité par la juridiction européenne elle-même, l’arrêt Rendon Marin préfigure également l’arrêt Chavez Vilchez du 10 mai 2017. Au terme de ce cycle jurisprudentiel, le juge national dispose des outils pour procéder au contrôle de proportionnalité à la lumière des dispositions constitutionnelles de l’article 20 du TFUE. La défense des droits fondamentaux en sort renforcée sur le continent européen. Outre la protection offerte par la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme, le droit de l’UE propose désormais de vastes possibilités fondées sur la citoyenneté européenne. Celle-ci est appelée à devenir, pour reprendre les termes de la CJUE, le statut fondamental des ressortissants des États membres.

Comparative Assessment of Starter Culture-Fermented Condiments Made from Seeds of Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon)
Authors: O. Adebayo Fatimat , O. Obiekezie Smart 
Published: October 2019

Aim: This study was conducted to assess fermented condiments that were made from watermelon seeds, using isolated organisms from traditional fermentation as starter-cultures.
Study Design: This is a laboratory-controlled experimental design.
Place and Duration of Study: Dept. of Microbiology, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria, between March and May 2017.
Methodology: Traditionally fermented (chance-inoculated) ‘ogiri’ condiment was made from sun-dried watermelon seeds. Microbiological isolation and identification were carried out using standard techniques, to obtain the participating organisms. Afterwards, sterilized packages of another batch of boiled, mashed and banana-leaf packaged seeds were aseptically inoculated with the pure isolates obtained earlier as starter cultures for a subsequent laboratory-controlled 3-day-fermentation process at 37°C in an incubator. All the different fermented products (produced by both uncontrolled and controlled fermentation) were subjected to proximate analysis. Also, the organoleptic quality attributes of the products were determined by conducting sensory evaluation on the various samples.
Results: The traditional fermentation of the watermelon seeds yielded an oily brownish paste, which has a strong characteristic pungent aroma. The participating organisms obtained from traditional fermentation were Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Corynebacterium xerosis and Lactobacillus fermenti. The result of the proximate composition show that the moisture content of the samples ranges from 3.5% to 5.4%, protein content ranges from 13.4% to 21.1%, fat content ranges from 25.5% to 40.8%, carbohydrate content of the samples ranges from 29.4% to 49.5% and the ash (total minerals) content ranges from 4.5% to 6.5%. The result of sensory evaluation generally indicated that in terms of all organoleptic attributes assessed, the combined isolates fermented sample was most preferred by the panelists.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that a laboratory prepared watermelon seed ‘ogiri’ with starter cultures of Lactobacillus fermenti, Corynebacterium xerosis and/or Bacillus subtilis can yield an organoleptically acceptable and highly proteinous condiment.

Published: October 2019

Aims: This study aimed to identify the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of the commonly isolated uropathogens in Sana’a city, Yemen.
Study Design: A cross-sectional and descriptive study.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at the hospitals and clinics of Sana'a city, Yemen between October 2016 and March 2017.
Methodology: Clean-catch mid-stream urine samples were collected to detect the most common uropathogenic bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility using Kirby Bauer standardized method.
Results: Urine cultures yielded 170 significant bacterial growths of uropathogens. Escherichia coli was the most often isolated pathogen (43.5%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (24.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20.0%) and Staphylococcus aureus (11.8%). The overall sensitivity was high to an excellent pattern for Carbapenems, Nitrofurantoin, Amikacin, and Piperacillin-Tazobactam. Escherichia coli shows an excellent sensitivity (88%) for Nitrofurantoin and Imipenem, followed by (85%) Ertapenem. Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited moderate resistance to Carbapenems, Moxifloxacin, and Piperacillin-Tazobactam in this study. Staphylococcus aureus was more vulnerable to all Quinolones except Nalidixic acid and it displays a high sensitivity pattern, 90% for both Nitrofurantoin and Gentamicin, 83% for Penicillin, 80% for both Minocycline. Antibiogram of isolated organisms revealed that there was resistance to two and more antimicrobials.
Conclusion: In this study, we observe a high resistance rates to Beta-lactam, Quinolones, and Macrolides antibiotics. Nevertheless, most uropathogenic isolates were still sensitive to Nitrofurantoin, Imipenem, Ertapenem, and Amikacin, they considered as a proper antibiotics for empirical therapy of UTIs. Establishment of antibiogram of locally isolated organisms is necessary to avoid indiscriminating use of antibiotic and to decrease the resistance rate in our community.

Background: Chewing stick has long been used in many parts of Africa and the Middle East as a means of oral hygiene. Dry stems or Roots of different plants have been used in the process. Stems of Vernonia amygdalina and Psidium guajava are among the commonly used plants in Nigeria in cleansing teeth. Few attempts have been made to screen the antimicrobial activity of the stems of the trees on microorganisms isolated from teeth.
Aim of the Study: The aim was to determine the Phytoconstituents and the antimicrobial activity of Vernonia amygdalina and Psidium guajava on Bacteria isolated from human teeth.
Materials and Methods: Phytoconstituents of the aqueous and ethanolic extract of the stems of Bitter leaf and Guava tree were determined using standard methods. The antimicrobial activity of the extract against some microorganisms isolated from teeth was determined using agar well diffusion method. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined using standard methods.
Results: Phytochemical screening of stems of the two plants revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids and carbohydrates. Highest zone of inhibition of 9 mm and 10 mm was recorded on the ethanolic extracts of bitter leaf and Guava tree stems on Staphylococcus aureus respectively. MIC and MBC of 50 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml for the ethanolic extracts of Bitter leaf stem on Klebsiella pneumonia, S. aureus and Proteus mirabilis were recorded. For the Guava, MIC and MBC of 50 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml were recorded for the ethanolic extracts were recorded on S. aureus and Proteus mirabilis.
Conclusion: Aqueous and ethanolic extracts of both plants show potential antibacterial activity against the microorganisms isolated from human teeth.
