description: Recent crises have proved that our society is increasingly confronted with a broad variety of challenges and threats, which need new approaches and strategies for developing adequate solutions. The impacts of drastic changes in our economic, social, environmental and technological frameworks, however, are unequally distributed: The ability of our cities and regions to cope with emerging risks and to overcome their negative impacts seems to be strongly different, depending on relevant local conditions. In other words, local vulnerabilities against sudden shocks (e.g. natural disasters, wars, pandemics) or against constant stresses (e.g. climate change, inflation, ageing of society) are not random but determined by selected spatial characteristics. From that point of view, cities and regions need customized planning strategies, which refer both to the built and natural environment and to socio-economic and institutional conditions, in order to be prepared for future challenges and threats. In this context, the research project “VESPA” provides a prototype for a rapid vulnerability-city-check for Austrian cities, which can be used as a handy tool for political decision-makers and city administrations to get a rough overview on specific vulnerabilities against emerging risks, threats and challenges. Therefore, the main goal is to define and to implement a comprehensive system of relevant local criteria, which allows an evidence-based assessment of specific vulnerabilities of a certain city. For that purpose, subjective assessments of local stakeholders are combined with data-based indicators to provide local vulnerability profiles, which reveal the ability of a certain city to resist external threats. The experiences of this case study, which is implemented in 5 Austrian cities shall then be translated into a general concept for evidence-based vulnerability city-checks in general.

Material examined. Lepidopleurus andamanicus lectotype (BMNH 1906.10.12.86) and 3 paralectotypes (BMNH 1906.10.12.87–89) designated by Kaas & Van Belle (1985: 118); Lepidopleurus philippinus holotype (MNHN 5981) and 4 paratypes (MNHN 5988 [2 specimens], 5979, 5980). 10 specimens in 4 lots from Vanuatu, 88 specimens in 15 lots from the Philippines, 349 specimens in 36 lots from the Solomon Islands.
Distribution. Widely distributed in the South Pacific, in the Philippines, Andaman Islands, Indonesia, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu (Kaas and & Van Belle 1985; see also Sigwart 2009b); from 195–1775 m. Found living and feeding on sunken terrestrial plant remains.
Remarks. This species (and several junior synonyms) was placed in synonymy with N. lineata by Sirenko (1992). Further examination of the morphology, and particularly the arrangement of the aesthetes, recently led Sigwart (2009b) to resurrect N. andamanica. This species (N. andamanica) lacks large raised pustules in the proteinaceous surface layer of the valve tegmentum (which are arranged in zigzag lines diagnostic of N. lineata), and the aesthetes are arranged in discrete, widely-separated clusters (in N. lineata, the megalaesthetes are irregularly arranged and micraesthetes cover the whole valve surface).

Scalibregma inflatum.— Støp-Bowitz 1945: 70 –71.
Material examined. The Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition 1876–1878, Norwegian continental shelf break, Sta. 18, 62°44'N 1°48'E, 753 m, holotype of Scalibregma abyssorum (ZMBN 2274).
Remarks. The description of Scalibregma abyssorum was based on one incomplete specimen (Hansen 1879; 1882). The species was stated to have three segments with gills, a squarish prostomium without lateral processes, anterior segments with no dorsal annulation, and furcate chaetae in neuropodia only. One incomplete specimen labelled as original material is kept in the collections of the University Museum of Bergen. Støp-Bowitz (1945) examined the specimen and noted that it had four pairs of branchiae and a prostomium with frontal horns. The branchiae were situated on chaetigers 2–5, as in S. inflatum. He concluded that it referred to a small specimen of S. inflatum. The examination of the specimen in the present study supports the observations by Støp-Bowitz (1945). The specimen is damaged, broken after chaetiger 13, and has lost parapodia on the right side. Bushy gills are present on chaetigers 2–5. The specimen, however, differs in several respects from the description and figures given by Hansen (1879, 1882), for instance in the dorsal annulation of segments, the development of prostomial frontal horns, and the number of gills. It may therefore be suspected that the deposited specimen is not the one Hansen (1879; 1882) used for his species description. The species is here considered indeterminable.

description: Is Robinsonia praphoea Dognin, 1906 really present in French Guiana?
The genus Robinsonia is commonly present in French Guiana with at least ten species. One of the most common is traditionally identified as Robinsonia praphoea Dognin, 1906. This species was described on a single male specimen collected on Rio Inambari, La Oroya, Carabaya in the Puno department (Peru), the type is housed in Washington (see Fig. 1) and has been dissected by A. Watson in 1971 (see plate 120 a, b in Watson, 1971, slide reference AW2 and a fresh dissection below in Fig. 2). During a routine survey of the French Guiana Arctiinae, two males collected in the coastal area (Kaw Road) were dissected and we were very surprised to find genitalia completely different from R. praphoea despite very similar habitus. Moreover within BOLD it was possible to find one sequence of a specimen similar to the type of R. praphoea and collected by G. Brehm around 100 km to the West of the type locality and at the same altitude (see Fig. 1). This sequence differs by at least 7.8 % from three sequences obtained from French Guiana specimens (see Fig. 3). It then appears that the Robinsonia species commonly found in French Guiana is not R. praphoea but a new species which is described below under the name Robinsonia simulans Laguerre, sp. nov.

Ferreiraella

description: Ferreiraella Sirenko, 1988
Type species. Ferreiraella carribbensis Sirenko, 1988 by original designation.
Diagnosis. Valves without raised sculpture, but with aesthete caps clearly visible; usually with well developed, unslit insertion plates on terminal valves. Girdle lacking spicular armature on ventral side. Girdle wide, densely covered in spicules on dorsal side. Radula with distinctive marginal spatulate accessory plate.
Remarks. Ferreiraella is the sole genus in the family Ferreiraellidae. Six ferreiraellid taxa are known from the western Pacific (Table 2), of which four are known only from the type locality.
Sirenko (2001) reported two taxa of ferreiraellid chitons from Vanuatu and New Caledonia: Ferreiraella plana (Nierstrasz, 1905) and a new subspecies of a taxon previously known only from New Zealand, Ferreiraella xylophaga karenae Sirenko, 2001. Both of these forms were encountered in the present material from Vanuatu [Boa 1] and the Solomon Island [Solomon 2].
The western Pacific species of ferreiraellids are all very similar, and only slight conchological features distinguish them. Sirenko (2001) questioned the validity of these species. However, there are clearly two distinguishable morphotypes within this material, the largest populations sampled to date, which can be identified as F. p l a n a and F. x. karenae.
Ferreiraellid taxa in the western Pacific are differentiated by the arrangement of their aesthetes, the number of micraesthetes on each megalasthete, the valve shape, which varies from cardioid to oval, and the relative size of the insertion plate on the head valve. Without better samples of more species, the relationships and taxonomic validity of other ferreiraellids cannot be determined.

Leptochiton planus: Kaas & Van Belle 1985: 114 –116, fig. 50, map 22.
Ferreiraella plana: Sirenko 1988: 1782; 1997b: 81; 2001: 59–61, figs 147–161, figs 192–195; 2004: 1, table 1; Sigwart et al. 2007: appendix 1; Schwabe 2008: 212; Sigwart, 2009b: 457; Sigwart et al. 2011: table 3, fig. 1E, 2; Yearsley & Sigwart 2011: table 1.
Material examined. Holotype (ITZ). 20 specimens in 7 lots from Vanuatu, 6 specimens in 1 lot from the Solomon Islands.
Distribution. Prior to Sirenko’s (2001) report, F. plana was known only from the holotype collected in Indonesia (3.45°N 125.31°E: Nierstrasz 1905). Sirenko’s (2001) study extended the known range of this species south to New Caledonia. Found living and feeding on sunken terrestrial plant remains, from 560–799 m with deeper records at 1040 m in Vanuatu (Boa 1 sta. CP2434) and 2053 m in Indonesia (holotype: Nierstrasz 1905).
Remarks. The material reported here is distributed in the intermediate part of the range of F. plana. However, no specimens were recovered in the material examined from the Philippines [Panglao 2005]; the northernmost record of this species in the present material is 7.65°S, 157.72°E.
The holotype of L. planus is preserved as a dried specimen and is in poor condition, and the radula has been lost. Nierstrasz (1905) reported the ventral side of the girdle to be naked; Kaas & Van Belle (1985) reported the morphology of the ‘ventral’ spicules. Sirenko (2001) speculated that the poor preservation of the specimen may have led to some confusion over the existence of ventral girdle armature. However, a slide preparation of the girdle of the holotype of L. planus does clearly show five rows of differentiated median or ventral spicules that are distinct from the dorsal armature. The statement that ferreiraellids are ventrally ‘naked’ is a slight over-generalisation; these species do have differentiated non-dorsal girdle armature in that they have a distinct marginal fringe.

title: An Econometric Model of the Steel Trade
Creators: name: Dion, Richard
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1982

description: In this report, the author uses steel as a case study for an analysis at the industrial level of forces at work in the international economy that have had an important impact on recent Canadian economic performance. Prominent among those forces are cost competitiveness and aggregate demand in Canada and abroad.

The author presents a model of the steel industry featuring relative price effects on trade and consumption volumes as well as price, volume, productivity and wage responses to demand pressure.

Simulations over the period 1977Q1-80Q1 suggest that the industry's output and profits have benefited from the depreciation of the Canadian dollar. They also reveal that an increase in the price of foreign exchange causes the relative price of steel to rise, discouraging steel consumption. In addition, imports are further reduced by substitution from foreign to domestic sources. As regards the trade balance in steel, this favourable substitution effect is counteracted after a while by the impetus that depreciation gives to domestic aggregate demand. The model is thus able to shed light on some otherwise puzzling developments. For example, the surge of steel imports and slowdown of exports in 1979, a period in which the Canadian industry's cost competitiveness was strong, can be explained in terms of the depreciation-aided acceleration of domestic economic activity, which resulted in tight constraints on the ability of the industry to satisfy additional customers' orders.
description: Ce rapport examine comment des forces relativement importantes dans la détermination de notre performance économique récente, notamment notre compétitivité et la pression de notre demande intérieure, opèrent à un niveau industriel aussi désagrégé que celui de l'acier.

L'auteur présente un modèle de cette industrie dans lequel les prix relatifs et la pression de la demande jouent un rôle très significatif. Alors que le Canada s'avère un preneur de prix dans son commerce extérieur, la détermination du prix intérieur reflète la position dominante des producteurs canadiens dans le marché domestique.

Des simulations couvrant la période 77T1-80T1 suggèrent que l'industrie de l'acier a bénéficié de la dépréciation du dollar canadien. Elles révèlent également qu'un affaiblissement du dollar canadien fait monter le prix relatif de l'acier, décourageant ainsi la consommation et, de là, les importations. Celles-ci sont également réduites par la substitution à des sources domestiques d'approvisionnement. Néanmoins, l'impulsion fournie à l'activité intérieure par la dépéciation tend à neutraliser l'impact des effets de substitution sur la balance commerciale pour les produits de l'acier. La montée des importations et le ralentissement des exportations d'acier en 1979, par suite de contraintes de capacité, suggèrent que les effets d'activité ont été plus importants que les effets de substitution au cours de la période.

Type species. Metopella micropalpa Shoemaker, 1930, original designation.
Diagnosis. Antenna l peduncle lacking nasiform process on article 1; accessory flagellum absent or vestigial. Mandibular palp l-articulate; palp of maxilla 1 1-articulate; inner plates of maxillipeds partially fused together. Coxa 1 very small, coxae 2–4 enlarged, coxae 5–7 small. Gnathopod 1 small, subchelate; carpus not lobate; propodus subequal to carpus in length, palm oblique. Gnathopod 2 enlarged, subchelate; carpus short, lobate; propodus broad, palm oblique or transverse. Pereopods 3–7 prehensile, bases rectolinear. Pleonite 3 and urosomite 1 lacking dorsal process, urosomites 1–3 free. Uropods 1, 2 biramous; uropod 3 uniramous, ramus 2-articulate. Telson flat, entire.
Included species. Metopelloides lowryi sp. nov. [Northwest Pacific]; M. micropalpa (Shoemaker, 1930) [Northwest Atlantic]; M. paguri Marin & Sinelnikov, 2012 [Sea of Okhotsk and Sea of Japan]; M. stephenseni Gurjanova, 1938 [Sea of Japan] and M. tattersalli Gurjanova, 1938 [Sea of Japan].
Remarks. Shoemaker (1955) also recorded M. stephenseni and M. tattersalli from the Arctic Ocean; however, his M. stephenseni is probably M. micropalpa because of the high degree of similarity between them.

Material Examined. ZSI 14470 Holotype from Puri, Odisha (Eastern India).
Description. Head small, head shields large, regular; Rostral broader than high; Nasal superior in position, nasal shield in contact with each other; Prefrontal elongate, 2 nd Supralabial touching prefrontal; Frontal longer than the distance from the tip of the rostral; Parietal longer than wide; One large anterior temporal; One Supraocular on each side of head; One Pre- and Postocular on each side of head; Supralabials 7; 3 rd and 4 th touching eye; Seven infralabials on each side of head; Chin shield and Scales around neck in fragile condition; Scales around midbody 40; Ventral, Preanal and Head width, depth and length not measurable as the specimen is in fragile condition; Snout to Vent length 228.0 mm;. Dorsally and ventrally the entire body brown. Number of bands not discernable due to faded colouration.
Remarks. Specimen is in fragile condition and hence some of the measurements (e.g. tail length) could not be taken. Wall (1906) stated the counts to be scale rows 25:39:39 and ventrals 380, whereas Smith (1926) stated it to be an unsexed young one, with scale rows 25:44 and ventrals “366(?)” indicating his uncertainty over the count. Wall (1909) synonymized H. melanocinctus under H. fasciatus, but Smith (1926, 1943) treated it as a synonym of H. spiralis, where it now rests (Wallach et al. 2014; Ganesh et al. 2019; Boundy 2020). See comments under H. alcocki entry, for mix-up of the registration number with the type of H. melanocinctus.

description: The present study examined the effects of signal discriminability and display size when searching for the presence and absence of features on vigilance performance and mental workload. Specifically, two conflicting theories were investigated. Treisman and Souther (1985) contend that the presence of a feature is detected quickly and effortlessly while the absence of a feature requires slower, serial processing. Nagy and Sanchez (1990, 1992), on the other hand, argue that discriminability determines the type of processing employed such that easily discriminable signals pop out of the display while less discriminable signals require focused attention to detect. To test these ideas, 80 participants were required to monitor a computer display comprised of either 2 or 5 circles during a 40-min vigil. Half of the participants were instructed to detect the presence of a line in one of the circles, and the other half were instructed to respond when the line was absent from one of the circles. In addition, half of the lines used were easily discriminable while the other half were less discriminable. Participants were also asked to provide estimates of mental workload for the task. The results indicated that observers performed more poorly over time. Feature type, discriminability, and display size were also found to be important determinants of performance and workload. Observers searching for the absence of a line performed worse and rated this condition as more difficult than those searching for the presence of a line. Searching through larger displays was also rated as more difficult and resulted in worse performance. In addition, performance in the difficult discrimination condition was worse, and individuals judged this condition to be harder than the easy discriminability condition. These results are discussed with respect to the aforementioned theories and the practical implications of these variables to the vigilance situation.
title: The Investment Supply Response of Traded-Goods Industries
Creators: name: Boothe, Paul
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1983

description: In this paper, the author uses neoclassical investment equations to examine investment behaviour in four groups of Canadian industries: export-oriented, import-competing, two- way-trade, and low-trade. Investment in these industries over the second half of the 1970s is shown to have been less than the level predicted by the estimated equations, although econometric tests do not show a structural change in investment behaviour.
description: L'auteur de l'étude utilise des équations néoclassiques pour analyser le comportement des investissements dans quatre groupes d'industries au Canada : les industries à vocation exportatrice, les industries dont les produits sont en concurrence avec les importations, les industries exportatrices et importatrices et les industries faisant peu d'échanges internationaux. L'étude démontre que le niveau des investissements effectués au cours de la seconde moitié des années 70 a été moins élevé qu'on ne l'avait prévu en estimant les équations, mais les tests statistiques ne révèlent pas de modification structurelle du comportement des investissements.

Remarks. This species is the smallest of the three species in this group, with both sexes having shorter postspiracular setae on VII and dimensions smaller than those of M. dacostai. This separation is further supported by the male having more tergal setae on III–IV than M. klickai and the female having fewer anal fringe setae and a larger number of anterior setae on sternite II.
