Polycotylidae

description: Polycotylidae indet.
(Fig. 2 A-D)
Pliosauridae gen. et sp. indet. – Wiffen & Moisley 1986: 243.
MATERIAL. — NPC CD 459, anterior cervical vertebra.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Mangahouanga Stream, a northern tributary of Te Hoe River, inland Hawke’s Bay, North Island, New Zealand. Maungataniwha Sandstone Member of the Tahora Formation, upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian (Vajda & Raine 2010; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
NPC CD 459 possesses amphicelous articular facets, a large neural canal (near the half of the centrum breadth), high neural pedicels and pre- and postzygapophyses as broad as the centrum, which are traits commonly found among cervical vertebrae of polycotylids (Sato & Storrs 2000; Salgado et al. 2007; Sato et al. 2018). NPC CD 459 was initially described by Wiffen & Moisley (1986), being then referred as an indeterminate pliosaurid. At that moment, polycotylids were considered as part of the clade Pliosauroidea Welles 1943. This systematic placement of Polycotylidae was not questioned until O’Keefe (2001) recognized closer affinities to cryptoclidids and “cimoliasaurids” for this clade, based on large-scale phylogenetic analyses. A growing body of evidence currently recognizes the Polycotylidae as the sister taxon of Leptocleididae Benson & Druckenmiller, 2014 and part of the larger clade Leptocleidia. In addition, the Pliosauridae as currently understood were extinct by the Campanian-Maastrichtian (Druckenmiller & Russell 2008; Benson & Druckenmiller 2014).

description: Cell-based quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIVc) can increase effectiveness against seasonal influenza by avoiding mismatch from egg adaption of vaccine viruses. This study evaluates the population-level cost-effectiveness and impacts on health outcomes of QIVc versus an egg-based vaccine (QIVe) in children aged 6 months to 17 years in the US. A dynamic age-structured susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered model was used to simulate influenza transmission in low and high incidence seasons for two scenarios: 1. QIVe for 6 months–17 year-olds, QIVc for 18–64 year-olds, and adjuvanted QIV (aQIV) for ≥ 65 year-olds, and 2. QIVc for 6 months–64 year-olds, and aQIV for ≥ 65 year-olds. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis was performed to account for uncertainty in parameter estimates. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated as incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). Extension of QIVc to children resulted in 3–4% reductions in cases (1,656,271), hospitalizations (16,688), and deaths (2,126) at a population level in a high incidence season, and 65% reductions (cases: 2,856,384; hospitalizations: 31667; deaths: 4,163) in a low incidence season. Use of QIVc would be cost-saving, with ICERs of -$16,427/QALY and -$8,100/QALY from a payer perspective and -$22,669/QALY and -$15,015/QALY from a societal perspective, for low and high incidence seasons respectively. Cost savings were estimated at approximately $468 million and $1.366 billion for high and low incidence seasons, respectively. Use of QIVc instead of QIVe in children > 6 months of age in the US would reduce the disease burden and be cost-saving from both a payer and societal perspective.

Polycotylus tenuis – Hector 1874: 335, pl. 27. — Welles 1962: 73, nomen dubium.
Cimoliosaurus tenuis – Lydekker 1889: 188.
Polycotylidae indet. – Welles & Gregg 1971: 44.
MATERIAL. — DM R1544, a cervical centrum.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Haumuri Bluff, South Island, New Zealand. Conway Formation, Campanian (Wilson et al. 2005; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
Welles & Gregg (1971) provided the centrum indices (HI = 145 and BI = 168), pointing out the presence of deeply excavated articular facets and a subcircular articular outline. Such morphology differs from the typical cervical centra observed among Late Cretaceous elasmosaurids, characterized by platycelous articular facets and a bilobed articular contour (Gasparini et al. 2003). Otherwise, the elliptical and strongly concave articular facets indicate affinities with Polycotylidae (Salgado et al. 2007). These are non-conclusive regarding a generic determination, as previously pointed out by Welles & Gregg (1971). DM R1544 is part of the hypodigm of ‘ Polycotylus tenuis ’ Hector, 1874 (currently nomen dubium), and was designated as the paralectotype by Welles & Gregg (1971).

description: The breadth of protection of National Immunisation Programmes (NIPs) across Europe varies, however, this has not been assessed within published literature. Therefore, a framework was developed to assess the comprehensiveness of pediatric NIPs in Europe. This study aimed to validate and further develop criteria used to cluster countries into three tiers. Independent Europe-based experts (n = 23) in the field of pediatric vaccination were invited to participate in a double-blinded modified Delphi panel, with two online survey rounds and a virtual consensus meeting. Consensus was defined as ≥ 80% of experts rating their agreement/disagreement on a 9-point Likert scale. The number of preventable diseases covered by an NIP, simplification of the vaccination calendar, strengthened protection by increasing serotype, degree of funding and epidemiological factors were considered key concepts for consideration of the comprehensiveness of pediatric NIPs in Europe. Experts highlighted that the framework should be extended to include adolescent vaccines and populations up to 18 years of age. Consensus regarding further amendments to the framework was also reached. This Delphi panel validated a framework to assess the comprehensiveness of European NIPs. The framework can be used to facilitate discussions to help countries improve and expand the breadth of protection provided by their NIP.

description: Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is potentially fatal and associated with severe sequelae among survivors. It is preventable by several vaccines, including meningococcal vaccines targeting the most common disease-causing serogroups (A, B, C, W, Y). The meningococcal ACWY tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-TT [Nimenrix]) is indicated from 6 weeks of age in the European Union and >50 additional countries. Using PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov and ad hoc searches for publications to June 2023, we review evidence of antibody persistence for up to 10 years after primary vaccination and up to 6 years after MenACWY-TT revaccination. We also review global MenACWY revaccination recommendations and real-world impact of vaccination policies, focusing on how these data can be considered alongside antibody persistence data to inform future IMD prevention strategies. Based on clear evidence that immunogenicity data (demonstrated antibody titers above established correlates of protection) are correlated with real-world effectiveness, long-term persistence of antibodies after MenACWY-TT vaccination suggests continuing protection against IMD. Optimal timing of primary and subsequent vaccinations is critical to maximize direct and indirect protection. Recommending bodies should carefully consider factors such as age at vaccination and long-term immune responses associated with the specific vaccine being used.

Polycotylus tenuis – Hector 1874: 335, pl. 27.
Polycotylidae indet. Welles & Gregg 1971: 44.
MATERIAL. — DM R1548, a juvenile, indeterminate propodium.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — No information, but almost certainly from New Zealand (Welles & Gregg 1971; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
Based on its gracility, DM R1548 probably belongs to a polycotylid. It must be noted that the coeval plesiosaur record from New Zealand includes a very unusual, still indeterminate elasmosaurid (CMZfr 159) that possesses a distinctively elongate propodial (Hiller et al. 2014: fig. 7), although not so slender as the DM R1548. Similar unusually elongate propodials are known from the late Aptian of Australia, and have also been compared with polycotylids (see Kear 2005: fig. 3A, B). Based on these possibilities, we refer it, with doubts, to cf. Polycotylidae.

description: We aimed to estimate XBB.1.5 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths during BA.2.86/JN.1 predominance, among EU/EEA individuals with ≥65-years. We linked electronic health records to create historical cohorts in Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Navarre (Spain), Norway, Portugal and Sweden. We included individuals aged ≥65-years eligible for the autumnal 2023 COVID-19 vaccine. Follow-up started when ≥80% of country-specific sequenced viruses were BA.2.86/JN.1 (4/dec/23 to 08/jan/24) and ended 25 February 2024. At study site level, we estimated the vaccine confounder-adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths between individuals with ≥14 days after vaccination versus unvaccinated in autumn 2023, overall, by time since vaccination and age groups. VE was estimated as (1-pooled aHR)x100 with a random-effects model. XBB.1.5 VE against COVID-19 hospitalizations was 50% (95%CI: 45 to 55) and 41% (95%CI: 35 to 46) in 65–79-year-olds and in ≥80-year-olds, respectively. VE against COVID19-related-death was 58% (95%CI: 42 to 69) and 48% (95%CI: 38 to 57), respectively, in both age groups. VE estimates against each outcome declined in all age groups over time. Monovalent XBB.1.5 vaccine had a moderate protective effect against severe and fatal COVID-19 likely caused by BA.2.86/JN.1 during the 2023/2024 winter, among persons aged ≥65.

Polycotylus tenuis – Hector 1874: 335, pl. 27.
Polycotylidae indet. Welles & Gregg 1971: 47.
MATERIAL. — NHMUK R838, an indeterminate propodium.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Haumuri Bluff, South Island, New Zealand. Conway Formation, Campanian (Wilson et al. 2005; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
The general gracile outline (Fig. 2M) of this specimen is consistent with polycotylid propodials, but no clear diagnostic features are observed. The specimen was illustrated by Hector 1874: fig. XXVIIB’, but it was part of an exchange in 1880 (Lydekker 1889) and it is now in the Natural History Museum (London). The propodium is 22.8 cm in length (9 inches). It was designated by Welles & Gregg (1971) as the lectotype of ‘ Polycotylus tenuis ’. The latter authors referred the specimen to Polycotylidae indet. Based on its gracility, it probably belongs to a polycotylid. Similar propodials were described from Australia and possible polycotylidae affinities were commented (Kear 2005). However, as no clear diagnostic feature are observed, the specimen is referred as cf. Polycotylidae.

LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — NHMUK 36074 from Waipara River, South Island, New Zealand. Conway Formation, Maastrichtian (Wilson et al. 2005; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
NHMUK 36074 was not personally checked, but Lydekker (1889) stated the following: “These specimens cannot be distinguished from the cervicals of the type of P. crassicostatus, figured by Owen in the ‘ Geol. Hag.’ dec. 1, vol. vii. pi. iii., and by Hector, op. cit. pi. xxviii” (Appendix 1). The latter specimen is clearly referable to a juvenile elasmosaurid (Welles & Gregg 1971: 36). Therefore, BM 36074 is here referred to Elasmosauridae indet.

Polycotylidae indet. – Welles & Gregg 1971: 46.
MATERIAL. — CM Zfr 99, proximal part of a very large propodial.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Waipara River, South Island, New Zealand. Conway Formation, Maastrichtian (Wilson et al. 2005; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
The presence of a distinctively prominent articular head and a dorsally elevated tuberosity is a feature commonly found in Weddellian elasmosaurids (Wiffen & Moisley 1986: figs 58, 59; O’Gorman et al. 2015, 2019; Otero et al. 2015). Furthermore, the presence of a tuberosity displaced with respect to the shaft axis of the femur is a feature observed in the femora of several very large Weddellian elasmosaurids such as DM R1529 (holotype of Mauisaurus haasti (Hector, 1874), curently cosidered nomen dubium, Hiller et al. 2017) from New Zealand, cf. Aristonectes Cabrera, 1941 (MLP-89-III-3-1) from Antarctica (O’Gorman et al. 2019), an isolated femur (SGO.PV.135) reffered to Aristonectes quiriquinensis Otero, Soto-Acuña, O’Keefe, O’Gorman, Stinnesbeck, Suárez, Rubilar-Rogers, Salazar & Quinzio, 2014 from Chile (Otero et al. 215: fig. 2) and in the holotype of Kaiwhekea katiki Cruickshank & Fordyce, 2002 (Cruickshank & Fordyce 2002). The oval articular head/capitulum seen in CM Zfr 99 is probably consequence of taphonomic deformation. The tuberosity is partially eroded. As additional indirect evidence, the very large size of CM Zfr 99 is only comparable to the propodials of MLP-89-III-3-1, a giant elasmosaurid from the Maastrichtian of Antarctica, referred as cf. Aristonectes (O’Gorman et al. 2019). Thus, the presence of very large individuals such as CM Zfr 99 is so far documented among elasmosaurids of the Weddellian Province, but locally, CM Zfr 99 represents a novelty in terms of size among Late Cretaceous elasmosaurids from the Conway Formation.

Polycotylidae indet. – Welles & Gregg 1971: 46.
MATERIAL. — CM Zfr 125, a juvenile propodial.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — No information, probably Waipara District (Fig. 1), according to Welles & Gregg (1971).
REMARKS
Based on propodial indices, Welles & Gregg (1971) identified this specimen as a juvenile “pliosaur” (sensu lato, following Welles 1943), noting a 90° angle between the capitulum and trochanter/tuberosity (as it is an indeterminate propodial). The presence of unexpanded distal end of the bone are features observed among juvenile. What is more these traits and the general proportions of CM Zfr 125 are remarkably similar to those described in the juvenile articulated postcranial skeleton SGO.PV.260 from the upper Maastrichtian of central Chile, referred to Aristonectes quiriquinensis (Otero et al. 2015: fig. 4A). While CM Zfr 125 could be narrowly comparable to the latter species, the lack of additional associated skeletal remains precludes its adscription to aristonectines. This is why it is kept as an indeterminate elasmosaurid.

LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Mangahouanga Stream, a northern tributary of Te Hoe River, inland Hawke’s Bay, North Island, New Zealand. Maungataniwha Sandstone Member of the Tahora Formation. Upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian (Vajda & Raine 2010; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
The NPC CD 458 propodial has features typically present among Weddellian elasmosaurids, with features slightly different from elasmosaurids elswhere. These features are, particularly, the prominent, sub-hemispherical articular head/capitulum, stocky femoral shaft and high dorsal tuberosity of the propodial (Otero et al. 2015), while the sacral centrum has platycelous faces and a very narrow neural arch compared to the centrum breadth (Gasparini et al. 1984; Cruickshank & Fordyce 2002; Otero et al. 2015; O’Gorman et al. 2015, 2019). Therefore, it is reassessed as an indeterminate elasmosaurid. Moreover, the general outline is remarkably similar to that of MLP 89-III-3- 1, a specimen from Antarctica referred to as an indeterminate aristonectine (O’Gorman et al. 2019).

LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Waipara River, South Island, New Zealand. Conway Formation, Maastrichtian (Wilson et al. 2005; Fig. 1)
REMARKS
NHMUK 36075 was referred by Welles & Gregg (1971) to Polycotylidae based on their stout ribs, long transverse process, short centra and thick neural spines. None of these features are strictly diagnostic of Polycotylidae since these could also be observed in juvenile elasmosaurids. Additionally, Lydekker (1889: 121) mentioned that NHMUK 36075 was probably part of the same individual as NHMUK 36073 (partial coracoid) and NHMUK 36073a (partial scapula); the latter specimens are currently referred as Elasmosauridae indet. However there are not direct evidence ot the latter and therefore it is referred to Plesiosauria indet.

MATERIAL. — NHMUK 37413, impression of six posterior cervical centra and four ribs.

REMARKS
Welles & Gregg (1971) mentioned that the matrix is similar to that observed in NHMUK 36073 and NHMUK 36075, also calculating the BI index of the last centra as 202. The vertebral measurements are remarkably similar (40 mm) in both specimens. Considering these indices and their associated collection, these likely belong to the same individual. The specimen is compatible with the morphology observed in Elasmosauridae; however, no clear synapomorphies of the later clade are observed and therefore, they are referred here to Plesiosauria indet.

REMARKS
Regarding this specimen, Lydekker (1889) described it as “the centrum of an early cervical vertebra of similar type ”, in a direct comparison to the material previously described by Owen (1861), see Appendix 1. Following the comments of Lydekker (1889), they should be similar to those within the hypodigm of ‘ Plesiosaurus australis ’ (currently nomen dubium).

REMARKS
This specimen was regarded as a paralectotype of “ Plesiosaurus holmesi ” Hector, 1874 (nomen dubium), and considered as an indeterminate polycotylid byWelles & Gregg (1971). The sacral features of the specimen preclude a referral to polycotylids or elasmosaurids. Therefore, it is here considered as an indeterminate plesiosaurian.

Pliosauridae gen. et sp. indet. – Wiffen & Moisley 1986: 243.
MATERIAL. — NPC CD 457: an isolated, incomplete adult plesiosaurian pubis.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Mangahouanga Stream, a northern tributary of Te Hoe River, inland Hawke’s Bay, North Island, New Zealand. Maungataniwha Sandstone Member of the Tahora Formation. Upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian (Vajda & Raine 2010; Fig. 1).
REMARKS
This specimen was interpreted as a coracoid by Wiffen & Moisley 1986. These authors considered the symphysis as the posterior extension of a coracoid. Under that interpretation, the specimen indeed resembled a “pliosaurid or polycotylid” coracoid. However, the bone is much eroded. The side opposed to the symphysis (i.e., the external side) shows rough edges, indicating that the bone is broken. This is visible in the “two lateral prominences”, which are an artifact of the medial erosion of the tabular bone. In lateral view, the specimen lacks a transverse thickening typically present in plesiosaurian coracoids. The presence of a short medial anterior process in such a large (likely adult) specimen suggests the lack of a girdle bar (in this reinterpretation, a pelvic bar). In addition, typical features present in polycotylid coracoids, such as the perforations on the symphyseal margin (Sato 2005; Albright et al. 2007; Schmeisser-McKean et al. 2012), although absent in Plesiopleurodon wellesi Carpenter, 1996 and Mauriciosaurus fernandezi Frey, Mulder, Stinnesbeck, Rivera-Sylva, Padilla-Gutiérrez & González-González, 2017 (Frey et al. 2017; Fischer et al. 2018), are not present. Therefore, the specimen CD 457 is considered a plesiosaur pubis. The large size and the lack of a pelvic bar suggest affinities to Elasmosauridae, but this cannot be assured. However, it is possible to discard CD 457 as the coracoid of a “pliosaur” sensu lato, or else, of a polycotylid.

(Fig. 5A, E)
Pliosauridae gen. et sp. indet. – Wiffen & Moisley 1986: 249.
MATERIAL. — NPC CD 460, three sacral and two caudal centra, disarticulated ribs, phalanges, and fragment of pubis? (Fig. 5 A-E).
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Mangahouanga Stream, a northern tributary of Te Hoe River, inland Hawke’s Bay, North Island (Fig. 1), New Zealand. Maungataniwha Sandstone Member of the Tahora Formation. Upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian (Vajda & Raine 2010).
REMARKS
The vertebrae were interpreted as cervicals by Wiffen & Moisley (1986). The pubis is severely damaged and it is not possible to assess its general outline. The phalanges are not diagnostic. Therefore, the vertebral series is the most diagnostic material of this specimen. The specimen is reinterpreted here as three sacral vertebrae and two caudal centra (Fig. 5 A-G). This interpretation is consistent with the preserved ribs as the first and second are rod-shaped, as it is usual in elasmosaurids; while the third posterior rib is dorsoventrally compressed, being similar to the caudals. Thus, the referral to Polycotylidae based on the typical short cervical centra is here discarded as they are considered sacral and caudal vertebrae.

Pliosauridae gen. et sp. indet. – Wiffen & Moisley 1986: 249.
MATERIAL. — NPC CD 461, nine caudal articulated vertebrae, all damaged by erosion, three ribs and a pubis fragment.
LOCALITY AND HORIZON. — Mangahouanga Stream, a northern tributary of Te Hoe River, inland Hawke’s Bay, North Island (Fig. 1), New Zealand. Maungataniwha Sandstone Member of the Tahora Formation. Upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian (Vajda & Raine 2010).
REMARKS
These vertebrae were interpreted as a cervicals by Wiffen & Moisley (1986). This sequence is reinterpreted here as caudal vertebrae, as the associated ribs show typical elasmosaurid features (straight and dorsoventrally compressed). Therefore, pliosaurid affinities can be discarded. Wiffen & Moisley (1986) mentioned that both NZGS CD 460 and 461 could belong to the same specimen. The similar growth stage, similar size and the anatomically complementary remains of both specimens support that assumption. Additionally, both specimen preserved part of a pubis. If these are indeed a single specimen, these represent the sacral and anterior caudal part of a juvenile plesiosaur, probably belonging to an elasmosaurid.

REMARKS
These teeth have their enamel with few well-marked striations, and the crown comparatively shorter and blunter than those typically observed in elasmosaurids such as Tuarangisaurus keyesi Wiffen & Moisley, 1986 holotype (Wiffen & Moisley 1986: figs 1-3, 15, 16). The lack of distinctive dental traits the specimens are reffered to Plesiosauria indet.

description: GENUS EUSPIRA AGASSIZ, 1837 (?)
Type species — Natica glaucinoides J. Sowerby, 1812 accepted as Euspira glaucinoides (J. Sowerby, 1812) by subsequent designation of Bucquoy, Dautzenberg, and Dolfuss (1833:143). Eocene, Europe (see Kabat, 1991: Bull MCZ 152:429 for more details).
Differential Diagnosis — This new species is questionably referred to the genus Euspira, which is characterized by a globose shell, spire moderately elevated, and an open umbilicus partially blocked by a weakly developed umbilical callus. While these features are found in Euspira? louiemarincovichi it differs in having a higher spire than all but eastern Pacific and Arctic Euspira except E. pallida (Broderip and Sowerby, 1829) and in having sculpture.
Geological Range — Late Jurassic (Das et al. 2019) to Holocene.

description: The double Higgs-strahlungs process $e^+e^- \rightarrow ZHH$ allows to access the Higgs self-coupling at center-of-mass energies above $450$ GeV. Its cross-section exhibits a very different behavior as a function of the value of the self-coupling than fusion-type processes like gluon-gluon fusion at LHC (and future hadron colliders) and $WW$ / $ZZ$ fusion at higher energy lepton colliders. Therefore it adds unique information to the picture, in particular should the value of the Higgs self-coupling differ from its Standard Model prediction. The last full evaluation of the potential of the ILC to measure this process is more than ten years old, and since then many of the reconstruction tools have received very significant improvements. This contribution presents the ongoing work in the ILD collaboration to update the ZHH projections for the next European Particle Physics Strategy Update.

description: The determination of the Higgs self-coupling is a key target for future colliders, in particular through di-Higgs production at $e^+e^-$ Linear Colliders with $\sqrt{s} > 450$\,GeV, e.g.\ ILC, C3 or CLIC. This contribution will discuss the roles and the interplay of di-Higgs production processes at various collider energies, including the case of non-SM values of the self-coupling. Previous studies, already based on Geant4-based detector simulation, established that the Higgs self-coupling can be extracted with $10-27\%$ precision and provided a solid understanding of the limiting factors. This provides a robust starting point to explore the potential of more modern and sophisticated reconstruction and analysis techniques. We summarize the impact of advanced, often machine-learning-based algorithms, including e.g.\ jet clustering, kinematic fitting and matrix element-inferred likelihoods on the reconstruction of $ZHH$ events and before discussing the dependence of the projected precision on the center-of-mass energy and on the actual value of the self-coupling.

description: Pair-production and single-production of $W$ bosons provide many opportunities to look for new physics via precision measurements, for instance via scrutinising the involved triple-gauge vertices or by measuring CKM matrix elements in an environment very complementary to $B$ hadron decays. This contribution presents the ongoing work based on full simulation of the ILD concept, exploiting the O($10^8$) $W$ bosons produced during the $250$\,GeV stage of the ILC, as well as the CLD concept proposed for the FCC-ee. The projections, which also contribute to two focus topics of the current ECFA study on future Higgs/Top/Electroweak factories, promise improvements of the measurement precision of TGCs and the CKM matrix, respectively, of one to two orders of magnitude with respects to LEP.

Zur Anwendung der Katastrophentheorie in der Psychologie

description: Durch die Wiederentdeckung der Systemtheorie ist in den letzten Jahren immer häufiger zur Anwendung der Chaos-und Katastrophentheorie in der Psychologie zu beobachten. Dies geschieht allerdings nicht empirisch, sondern auschließlich über Plausibilitätsargumentationen. Deshalb erscheint es notwendig, die Fruchtbarkeit dieser Modelle für die Psychologie zu überprüfen. Es wird ein Überblick über chaos- und katastrophentheoretische Modelle gegeben und Anwendungsbeispiele für die Psychologie diskutiert. Es kann festgehalten werden, daß diese nicht-linearen Modelle zwar einen gewissen Stellenwert errungen haben, eine Anwendung aber nur dann sinnvoll und richtig ist, wenn (1) der Systembegriff geklärt ist, (2) ein adäquates statistisches Modell gefunden wird.
