Abstract
Spatial and temporal distribution patterns of the warrior swimming crab Callinectes bellicosus fishery in the Mexican Pacific were investigated. Geo-referenced commercial trap capture data derived from 44 trips in the Bahia Magdalena were analysed. Three fishing zones (Z1, inner; Z2, middle; Z3, mouth of the bay) and two climate seasons (warm, July-December; and cold, January-June) were defined previously. There were 1099 traps in Z1, 715 in Z2 and 2111 in Z3; in the warm season, 2091 traps were checked, whereas 1834 were checked in the cold season. The average number of individuals per trap (CPUE) varied by sex, zone and season, however, male crabs always predominated. During the warm season, large males (CW > 115 mm) exhibited the greatest value of CPUE. On average, the males represented 77% during the warm season and 84% during the cold season. The average size of the males (125 ± 0.843 mm CW) was significantly higher than the average size of females (121 ± 1.140 mm CW). The catch was composed of large mature males but females were absent in Z1; in comparison, both large mature males and females, in addition to ovigerous females, composed the catch at the mouth of the bay (Z3). Crab abundance was notably reduced in the cold season, especially for female crabs. The temporal behaviour of the warrior swimming crab in Bahia Magdalena is similar to that reported from the coastal lagoons of the Gulf of California; however, the low presence of females throughout the year could be related to their preferred environmental conditions, which include deeper areas with more current circulation, like those that occur at the mouth of the bay. These data corroborate the necessity to interpret with caution the crab population dynamics solely based on results derived from fishing with traps in coastal lagoons.
A simple method for classifying data in relative growth analysis of crustaceans
Authors: Zambrano René 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Relative growth in crustaceans is a topic of quite high importance that allows, among other things, to estimate their size at the onset of morphometric sexual maturity. In this process, it is usual to start from a transition point and then generate regressions that reflect phases of the sexual development of the individuals (i.e., mature and immature). There are several statistical methods that allow data to be classified into subsets, but according to the specific growth pattern at issue, those methods may or may not be usable. This paper proposes a simple method to classify data into two subsets, viz., when they are overlapping over a wide range of sizes. The actual procedure consists of a linear regression that divides the data. Subsequently, a linear regression is applied to the groups generated by adjusting the parameters through maximum log-likelihood. The observed values will be classified according to the smallest residual difference generated with each regression line. The proposed method was tested by separating the sexes of Goyazana castelnaui, using real data. The efficiency of the method was analysed based on the percentage value between the number of total data and the number of correctly classified data. Additionally, the k-mean cluster was used as a conventional method, the results of which were reclassified by a linear discriminant analysis. The efficiency of the proposed method was >80% while that of the conventional method was >60%. The values misclassified by the proposed method were mixed with those of the opposite sex, so it was expected to fail in those cases. The proposed method is a simple alternative that can serve as a basis for subsequent morphometric analysis, especially for acquiring an initial insight in the structure of a dataset collected for a study of relative growth.
SEM study of a topotype population of Paracrobeles psammophilus Navarro & Lluch, 1999 (Rhabditida: Cephalobidae) and its taxonomic implications
Authors: Ruiz-Cuenca Alba N. , Abolafia Joaquín 
Published: December 2019

Summary
Paracrobeles psammophilus from the type locality is redescribed based on SEM studies. In addition, material of P. psammophilus previously described from Sicily (Italy) is revised. Species of Paracrobeles are analysed and form two morphological groups: the laterellus-group with three species (P. kelsodunensis, P. laterellus and P. mojavicus) having a lip region with two guard processes at both primary and secondary axils and shorter and more robust spicules, and the psammophilus-group with two species (P. deserticola and P. psammophilus) having primary axils bearing two guard processes and secondary axils with only one guard process and longer and slender spicules. Another four species (Acrobelinema cornis, Cervidellus cancellatus, C. rarus and C. sonorensis), having an intermediate morphology between Paracrobeles and Nothacrobeles, are transferred to Nothacrobeles (= Acrobelinema n. syn.).
Marx’s Economic Manuscript of 1867–68 (Excerpt) Translator’s Introduction
Authors: Panzer Herbert 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This Introduction describes the approach and rules applied when translating a 25-page excerpt from Marx’s Manuscript of 1867–68, as published in the MEGA, Volume II/4.3. The draft status and terseness of the text required that the translation (see pp. 162–92) proceed along with a working-out of its mathematical content. The translation’s main guideline was to translate the draft such as it stood, while correcting figures and formulas wherever possible. Remaining major deficiencies and inconsistencies are discussed in depth, showing also what an outstanding level of acuity Marx had already achieved in a manuscript at first-draft stage.
A Hermeneutical Approach against Whiteness
Authors: Smythe Shannon Nicole 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article provides a constructive reading of Barth’s interpretation of Romans 2 in the Römerbrief in conversation with his treatment of the sinful human attempt to construct a worldview in opposition to the saving activity of Jesus in Church Dogmatics IV/3. I argue that dialectical theology provides Western Christianity with a hermeneutical approach against whiteness grounded in a Reformational theology of justification by faith alone. In this way, dialectical theology is a resource for constructing Christian identity free of whiteness as well as for carving out new space for a decolonial option within Christian theology.
Ancient Greek οι-stem
Authors: Monzó Carlos 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The semantics of ancient Indo-European noun stems has not yet received enough attention from scholars. However, the noun stems exhibit an inner semantic coherence arranged in accordance with the basic linguistic principles of categorisation. My aim in this paper is to demonstrate the internal semantic coherence of the Ancient Greek οι-stem noun category and to compare it with other well-studied morphosemantic categories in order to suggest a particular meaning structure.
Dimensions of social meaning in Post-classical Greek
Authors: Bentein Klaas 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Especially in the first half of the twentieth century, language was viewed as a vehicle for the transmission of facts and ideas. Later on, scholars working in linguistic frameworks such as Functional and Cognitive Linguistics, (Historical) Sociolinguistics and Functional Sociolinguistics, have emphasized the social relevance of language, focusing, for example, on linguistic concepts such as deixis, modality, or honorific language, or embedding larger linguistic patterns in their social contexts, through notions such as register, sociolect, genre, etc. The main aim of this article is to systematize these observations, through an investigation of how the central, though ill-understood notion of “social meaning” can be captured. The starting point for the discussion is the work that has been done in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). This framework distinguishes “social” (“interpersonal”) meaning from two other types of meaning, and offers a typology of different types of contexts with which these different meanings resonate. In order to achieve a more satisfactory account of social meaning, however, I argue that we need to connect SFL to a theory of how signs convey meaning. The discussion is relevant for Ancient Greek in its entirety, but focuses specifically on Post-classical Greek: as a case study, I discuss five private letters from the so-called Theophanes archive (IV AD).
On the Epitaph for Argotas from Neapolis Scythica
Authors: Makarov Igor A. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article contains a re-publication of a verse epitaph found in Neapolis Scythica (SEG 53, 775). After correcting a number of readings and restorations of the editio princeps, the author demonstrates that lines 4-8 contain a description of the deceased Argotas and not of King Skiluros, as the scholars publishing the inscription had suggested. There are no grounds for treating the φιλο[φροσύνη] Ἑλλάνων mentioned in the text as evidence of Argotas’ Greek origin. Thus there is no reason for viewing him as a figure similar to Posideos, son of Posideos, known to us from Neapolis epigraphy. The man buried here was a representative of the Scythian nobility, who could be probably identified as the husband of the Bosporan queen Kamasarya mentioned in one of the inscriptions found in Pantikapaion (CIRB 75).
The kṛṣṇāṣṭamīvrata in the Śivadharmaśāstra
Authors: Kafle Nirajan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article investigates the textual basis of the kṛṣṇāṣṭamīvrata, an observance first attested in the tenth chapter of the Śivadharmaśāstra. Given the great variety in readings of the versions contained in manuscripts that are of distinctly variegated geographical provenance and age, it is argued that at least during the 6th to 7th centuries—and even possibly later—the kṛṣṇāṣṭamīvrata had not yet developed a consistent form. The variable form of this particular vrata stands in stark contrast to its Vaiṣṇavite precursors that at the time of composition of the Śivadharmaśāstra had already developed into a standardized, canonical form. Hence, we argue, the regional variation of the manuscripts is indicative of a living, widespread Śaivite tradition that gives rise to different lines of transmission. Since the chief aim of this contribution is to display and study this variation, the kernel of this article consists of a ‘comparative edition’ of the tenth chapter of Śivadharmaśāstra, furnished with translation and philological commentary.
Reading an Aramaic Qina Framed by a Biblical One
Authors: Bernstein Moshe J. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The author of the first poem of a manuscript from the Cairo Geniza, CUL T-S H14.64, used the verses in Lamentations 1 as a technical device to frame his poem, while he found a variety of ways to connect the stanzas of the poem with verses from Lamentations and other biblical verses. He linked the stanzas of the poem forward and backward through themes and language that are significant in the poem as a whole. This study also follows the trajectories of both the first- and third-person voices, reflecting on how their interchange might contribute to our understanding of the message of the poem.
Africanisms
Authors: Palmié Stephan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This essay attempts to chart the career of the concept of ‘Africanisms’ in the anthropology and history of the African Diaspora in the Americas. After surveying the origins of the concept, I focus on the role of Melville J. Herskovits’ highly influential mobilisation of the concept, its major mid-20th century critiques, and a highly influential late 20th century reaction to the terms of these debates. I will conclude by indicating how Africanist historians have come to repurpose this concept around the turn of the millennium, and how more recent scholarship might indicate the end of its usefulness as an analytical category.
“(In)comparable Poetries and Transpacific Networks of Translation”
Authors: Azuaje-Alamo Manuel 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In 1957, writing in Spanish, the Mexican poet Octavio Paz (1914–1998) published the first complete translation into a Western language of the famous travel diary Oku no Hosomichi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North, 1702) by Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694). A thoroughly revised second edition followed in 1970, which included freer translations of Bashō’s haikus. In this definite edition, Paz attempted to synthesize the poetic effect of Bashō’s work for a Latin American readership. By using a textual and archival-based approach, this article analyses Paz’s two Spanish versions against the Japanese original text and its intertextualizations of classical Chinese poetry and contextualizes the background behind the publication of these epoch-making translations. It highlights the textual refractions and translation issues that occur when East Asian literature circulates in the Global South and the transpacific literary networks that made these literary exchanges possible.
The Nature and Promise of Analytic Theology
Authors: Crisp Oliver D. , Arcadi James M. , Wessling Jordan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In the past decade analytic theology has established itself as a flourishing research program that includes academic journals, monograph series, a dedicated annual conference, research centers on several continents, and a growing and diverse body of work produced by scholars drawn from philosophy, theology, and biblical studies. In this short monograph Oliver Crisp, James Arcadi, and Jordan Wessling introduce readers to analytic theology. The work provides an account of analytic theology, some of the main areas in which analytic theologians have worked, and some of the prospects for the future of analytic theology going forward. It also addresses some key objections to analytic theology as a theological method, and aims to acquaint scholars and students with this new and promising theological movement.
Applied History, Applied Economics, and Economic History
Authors: Colvin Christopher L. , Winfree Paul 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
As a new field of academic enquiry, applied history has a unique opportunity to learn lessons from other applied fields. In this essay, we set out how we think applied historians can learn from past successes and mistakes of applied economists and economic policymakers in their use, and abuse, of economic theory and economic history. What we call here the “New Applied History” has great potential to improve the way policymaking is conducted. But only if its practitioners understand the power, and limitations, of theory. We apply our ideas to the case of budgetary policymaking in the United States.
Sampling Error Correction Evaluated Using a Convective-Scale 1000-Member Ensemble
Authors: Necker Tobias , Weissmann Martin , Ruckstuhl Yvonne , Anderson Jeffrey , Miyoshi Takemasa 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
State-of-the-art ensemble prediction systems usually provide ensembles with only 20–250 members for estimating the uncertainty of the forecast and its spatial and spatiotemporal covariance. Given that the degrees of freedom of atmospheric models are several magnitudes higher, the estimates are therefore substantially affected by sampling errors. For error covariances, spurious correlations lead to random sampling errors, but also a systematic overestimation of the correlation. A common approach to mitigate the impact of sampling errors for data assimilation is to localize correlations. However, this is a challenging task given that physical correlations in the atmosphere can extend over long distances. Besides data assimilation, sampling errors pose an issue for the investigation of spatiotemporal correlations using ensemble sensitivity analysis. Our study evaluates a statistical approach for correcting sampling errors. The applied sampling error correction is a lookup table–based approach and therefore computationally very efficient. We show that this approach substantially improves both the estimates of spatial correlations for data assimilation as well as spatiotemporal correlations for ensemble sensitivity analysis. The evaluation is performed using the first convective-scale 1000-member ensemble simulation for central Europe. Correlations of the 1000-member ensemble forecast serve as truth to assess the performance of the sampling error correction for smaller subsets of the full ensemble. The sampling error correction strongly reduced both random and systematic errors for all evaluated variables, ensemble sizes, and lead times.
Hierarchical transcriptional control regulates Plasmodium falciparum sexual differentiation

Published: December 2019

AbstractBackgroundMalaria pathogenesis relies on sexual gametocyte forms of the malaria parasite to be transmitted between the infected human and the mosquito host but the molecular mechanisms controlling gametocytogenesis remains poorly understood. Here we provide a high-resolution transcriptome ofPlasmodium falciparumas it commits to and develops through gametocytogenesis.ResultsThe gametocyte-associated transcriptome is significantly different from that of the asexual parasites, with dynamic gene expression shifts characterizing early, intermediate and late-stage gametocyte development and results in differential timing for sex-specific transcripts. The transcriptional dynamics suggest strict transcriptional control during gametocytogenesis inP. falciparum,which we propose is mediated by putative regulators including epigenetic mechanisms (driving active repression of proliferation-associated processes) and a cascade-like expression of ApiAP2 transcription factors.ConclusionsThe gametocyte transcriptome serves as the blueprint for sexual differentiation and will be a rich resource for future functional studies on this critical stage ofPlasmodiumdevelopment, as the intraerythrocytic transcriptome has been for our understanding of the asexual cycle.

AbstractBackgroundBud dormancy is a crucial stage in perennial trees and allows survival over winter to ensure optimal flowering and fruit production. Recent work highlighted physiological and molecular events occurring during bud dormancy in trees. However, they usually examined bud development or bud dormancy in isolation. In this work, we aimed to further explore the global transcriptional changes happening throughout bud development and dormancy onset, progression and release.ResultsUsing next-generation sequencing and modelling, we conducted an in-depth transcriptomic analysis for all stages of flower buds in several sweet cherry (Prunus aviumL.) cultivars that are characterized for their contrasted dates of dormancy release. We find that buds in organogenesis, paradormancy, endodormancy and ecodormancy stages are defined by the expression of genes involved in specific pathways, and these are conserved between different sweet cherry cultivars. In particular, we found thatDORMANCY ASSOCIATED MADS-box(DAM), floral identity and organogenesis genes are up-regulated during the pre-dormancy stages while endodormancy is characterized by a complex array of signalling pathways, including cold response genes, ABA and oxidation-reduction processes. After dormancy release, genes associated with global cell activity, division and differentiation are activated during ecodormancy and growth resumption. We then went a step beyond the global transcriptomic analysis and we developed a model based on the transcriptional profiles of just seven genes to accurately predict the main bud dormancy stages.ConclusionsOverall, this study has allowed us to better understand the transcriptional changes occurring throughout the different phases of flower bud development, from bud formation in the summer to flowering in the following spring. Our work sets the stage for the development of fast and cost effective diagnostic tools to molecularly define the dormancy stages. Such integrative approaches will therefore be extremely useful for a better comprehension of complex phenological processes in many species.
Complex contaminant mixtures and their associations with intima-media thickness
Authors: Liberda Eric N. , Zuk Aleksandra M. , Tsuji Leonard J. S. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Background
The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality is higher among Indigenous persons, who also experience greater health disparities when compared to non-Indigenous Canadians, particularly in remote regions of Canada. Assessment of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a noninvasive screening tool and can be used as biomarker to assess increased CVD risk. Few studies have examined environmental contaminant body burden and its association with cIMT.

Methods
Data from the Environment-and-Health Study in the Eeyou Istchee territory of northern Québec, Canada was used to assess complex body burden mixtures of POPs, metals and metalloids among (n = 535) Indigenous people between 15 and 87 years of age with cIMT. First, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the complexity of the contaminant data. Second, based on the underlying PCA profiles from the biological data, we examined each of the prominent principal component (PC) axes on cIMT using multivariable linear regression models. Lastly, based on these PC axes, cIMT was also regressed on summed (Σ) organic compound concentrations, polychlorinated biphenyl, perfluorinated compounds, respectively, ∑10 OCs, ∑13 PCBs, ∑3PFCs, and nickel.

Results
Most organochlorines and PFCs loaded primarily on PC-1 (53% variation). Nickel, selenium, and cadmium were found to load on PC-5. Carotid-IMT was significantly associated with PC-1 β = 0.004 (95 % CI 0.001, 0.007), and PC-5 β = 0.013 (95 % CI 0.002, 0.023). However, the association appears to be greater for PC-5, accounting for 3% of the variation, and mostly represented by nickel. Results show that that both nickel, and ∑3PFCs were similarly associated with cIMT β = 0.001 (95 % CI 0.0003, 0.003), and β = 0.001 (95 % CI 0.0004, 0.002), respectively. But ∑10OCs was significantly associated with a slightly greater β = 0.004 (95 % CI 0.001, 0.007) cIMT change, though with less precision. Lastly, ∑13PCBs also increased β = 0.002 (95 % CI 0.0004, 0.003) cIMT after fully adjusting for covariates.

Conclusion
Our results suggest that environmental contaminants are associated with cIMT. This is important for the Cree from the Eeyou Istchee territory who may experience higher body burdens of contaminants than non-Indigenous Canadians.
