title: Early Neolithic settlement in the area of Boleścin, Trzebnica district. Investigation of archive sources
Creators: name: Czerniak, Krzysztof
Publisher: name: Uniwersytet Wrocławski Instytut Archeologii
Year: 2020

description: In Lower Silesia, there can be distinguished two main early Neolithic settlement centres – the
bigger one was located in the basin of the rivers Bystrzyca, Ślęza and Oława, and the smaller one
– in the area of Głogów. The presence of single artefacts on the right bank of the Oder River was
considered to be evidence of the marginal nature of the penetration of the northern borders of the
compact fertile loess soils zone. It is worth paying attention to a virtually unpublished assemblage
of artefacts from several sites located in the area of Boleścin village. Although these materials are
only surface finds, their number and a very restricted distribution may suggest the existence in that
place of a more permanent form of settlement than has previously been considered. The presented
assemblage, except for a few examples, is extremely homogeneous and may be linked to the later
(Šárka) phase of the Linear Pottery culture. The number of Linear Pottery culture sites in Lower
Silesia suggests a dynamic development of the settlements during its middle phase (Musical Note
phase). The thriving settlements, however, had been somewhat limited and dispersed during the
late phase of the Linear Pottery culture. At that time, its population crossed the Oder River line,
penetrating the areas situated on the right bank of the river in a more systematic way. Noticeable
settlement crisis in the final stage of the Linear Pottery culture was probably related to sudden,
although only local, climatic changes.

Camponotus sexguttatus is a common ant throughout the neotropics, particularly in disturbed or edge habitats, that has accumulated an unfortunate number of infraspecific taxa. These names usually pertain to minor color differences. While C. sexguttatus in the broad sense may actually contain a number of cryptic species over the full range of the group, there is little chance that the current haphazard assortment of subspecies and varieties accurately represents them. Literature records from Paraguay include both C. sexguttatus (Forel 1906, Forel 1907b [as “ bimaculatus ”], Kempf 1972) and C.sexguttatus var. fusciceps (Emery 1906, Kempf 1972). Examination of the specimens at MHNG on which the records are based shows both to belong to the single common species that I have been calling C. sexguttatus. A proper taxonomic study may eventually show that the forms from subtropical South America should have a different name, as the type of C. sexguttatus is Antillean in origin, far to the north.

Hashmi (1973) never saw the types of C. lessonai and subsequently excluded C. lessonai from Myrmothrix. I located Emery’s lessonai types from San Pedro at MCSN and they are nearly identical to Forel’s type of C. damocles from San Bernadino (MHNG, examined). Workers of these forms are considerably darker than Mayr’s type of C. cingulatus and match several recent collections from eastern Paraguay. I have also encountered light-colored C. cingulatus in San Pedro. Whether the presence of sympatric color morphs indicates mere intraspecific variation or the existence of cryptic species is not clear. However, Hashmi (1973) considered C. damocles a junior synonym of C. cingulatus, and if one adopts Hashmi’s broad concepcion of the species then C. lessonai should also be synonymized.

Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) punctulatus var. hispida Emery. Emery 1925: 78. Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) punctulatus var. hispidus Emery. Kempf 1972: 70.
Several species in the Camponotus punctulatus complex occur in Paraguay and are among the more common groundnesting ants in open habitats. Camponotus hispidus can be distinguished from the locally sympatric C. punctulatus Mayr (syntype w examined, NHMW) by the more extensive pilosity on the head of the major. Camponotus punctulatus majors normally lack standing setae on the sides of the head and between the eye and the mandibular insertion, while C. hispidus majors have numerous subdecumbent to suberect setae on the sides of the head and> 10 between the eye and the mandibular insertion. As the pilosity of C. hispidus is more extensive than that of C. punctulatus, the integument of C. hispidus appears more densely and deeply punctate. Camponotus hispidus is piceous to black in color, while C. punctulatus in Paraguay is ordinarily bicolored with a reddish brown head and mesosoma a dark brown gaster. Since these two species are sympatric and distinct in Paraguay, there is no justification for retaining C. hispidus as a subspecies.

The aptly-named Camponotus termitarius is most commonly collected from old termite mounds in low-lying pastures and pastizales. This ant should be treated as a full species. Camponotus termitarius is locally sympatric with C. punctulatus (syntype w examined, NHMW), shows consistent differences in nesting site (C. punctulatus is a generalist groundnesting ant), and is morphological distinct in a number of characters. First, C. termitarius is more pilose, being intermediate in this regard between the relatively hirsute C. hispidus and the relatively bare C. punctulatus, lacking extensive standing hairs on the side of the head but bearing>8 between the eye and the mandibular insertions. Second, the propodeum of C. termitarius is lower, more elongate, and with a shorter declivitous face than that of C. punctulatus. Third, the microsculpture of the gastric tergites is more extensive, giving the gaster a duller appearance than in either C. hispidus or C. termitarius. Finally, the pubescence is more extensive in C. termitarius than in either C. hispidus or C. termitarius, with the fine appressed setae on the first gastric tergite separated by distances much shorter than the length of the setae and overlapping in places.

Camponotus substitutus is among the more commonly encountered Camponotus in open and disturbed habitats, particularly in the chaco and near the Rio Paraguay in eastern Paraguay. This ant can be distinguished from other large Paraguayan Camponotus (Tanaemyrmex) by the following combination of character states: numerous (>20) suberect to subdecumbent setae on the sides of the head in the major caste; scape of the major simple, not flattened at base; and striking bicoloration in all female castes, with gastric tergites 1-3 (=abd. tergites 3-6) bearing yellowish-white antero-lateral spots contrasting with a dark brown to black central area. Forel’s types of C. substitutus multipilis are more pilose than most Paraguayan collections of C. substitutus, but still within the range of variation of the species. As I can find no other characters that distinguish C. multipilis from C. substitutus I synonymize it here.

description: Abstract

Background: The neonatal period constitutes the most important period to determine a child’s survival. Calls have been made to reassess the curriculum of medical schools throughout the world to adopt competence-based programs that address the healthcare needs of society. India is a country characterized by a high neonatal mortality rate of 20 per 1000 live births in the year 2018 [1]. So, it is necessary to include a curriculum that addresses this issue. Objective: To determine the knowledge of medical students about prematurity and its complications. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out at Saveetha Medical College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences (SIMATS), Saveetha University, Chennai, IND between March 2022 and June 2022. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel, and descriptive analysis was conducted. Results: A total of 164 students were assessed, who belonged to the pre-final year, final year, and internship. About 82% of the students correctly identified basic definitions. More students were knowledgeable about ocular complications than respiratory complications. Most students had sufficient knowledge about nutritional supplementation for preterm infants. The role of antenatal steroids was known only by 53% of the students. There was a significant correlation between the students' year of study and their scores (p=0.004).

Camponotus coloratus cannot be considered conspecific with C. substitutus. Both ants are locally sympatric in the Paraguayan chaco without signs of hybridization. These species share a similar striking bicoloration (see discussion under C. substitutus), but workers of C. coloratus, in addition to being on average larger than workers of C. substitutus, have disproportionately longer legs, a more opaque microsculpture, and considerably reduced pilosity with the sides of the head of the major bearing fewer than 5 standing setae. Paraguayan material is lighter in color and with a broader head in the major caste than Forel’s type from Colombia, but given the allopatric nature of the variation I see no reason to divide C. coloratus further.

description: Introduction: This questionnaire-based investigation aimed to assess oral health behaviour (OHB) in 2-year-old children taking part in a birth cohort study and to identify relationships between general health, socioeconomic as well as psychosocial factors and OHB. Methods: Factors examined were single-parent status, migration background, child’s sex, parity, maternal age, education and social support, paternal employment, parental mental and physical health, and child health, data for which were collected at birth, 4 weeks, or 1 year. Participants who answered all OHB questions at 2 years (n = 730) were included. Nutritional score (NS), toothbrushing score (TS), and dental check-up score (CS) were used to calculate overall OHB score. Results: Overall OHB in this cohort was good. 62% ate fruit or vegetables daily, 75% brushed 2–3 times daily, and 61% had already had a dental check-up. Children of single mothers had significantly lower OHB scores. NS was significantly higher for children with migration background, children of mothers with better physical health or higher educational level, but lower for children of mothers reporting poor social support. TS was significantly lower in children of single mothers and children of fathers reporting poorer mental health. CS was significantly higher in children of multiparous mothers. This study highlights the relevance of social support and parental health, in contributing to OHB patterns. Conclusion: Families with special healthcare needs or less robust social support may have difficulty maintaining good OHB.

Camponotus fastigatus subsp. vagulus Forel 1908b: 403. [w syntypes examined, MHNG; São Paulo, Brazil (v. Ihering)]
Camponotus (Myrmaphaenus) fastigatus subsp. vagula Forel. Emery 1925: 155. Camponotus (Myrmaphaenus) fastigatus vagulus Forel. Kempf 1972: 46.
Camponotus fastigatus has been interpreted broadly by Forel, Emery, and Santschi, who each named subspecies based on forms that are distinct from C. fastigatus in head shape, mesonotal structure, and pilosity. It is unlikely that any of these subspecies, including Forel’s C. vagulus, are truly conspecific as they maintain their differences in broad sympatry in southern South America.
With minor workers approaching only 3mm in length, Camponotus vagulus is one of the smallest Camponotus in the region. This ant co-occurs with C. fastigatus throughout eastern Paraguay and shows similar associations with open or edge habitats. Both ants share a robust build, a strong medial clypeal carina, and short antennal scapes that in repose fall well short of the posterior cephalic margin. However, differences between the two are numerous. In full face view, the head of the major of C. vagulus is rectangular, over 1.1x longer than broad, with sides straight and subparallel, while the head of C. fastigatus is rounded, about as long as broad, with the sides clearly convex. The integument of C.vagulus over most of the body has little microsculpture, giving the ant a characteristic shiny appearance, while that of C. fastigatus is opaque. The pubescence of C. vagulus is shorter and more difficult to see than that of C. fastigatus, and the head of both worker castes in C. vagulus is lighter in color near the mandibular insertions. In light of the numerous differences in sympatry between the forms, the case for raising C. vagulus to species is unambiguous.

In my opinion the literature records of C. lespesii and C. lespesii melancholicus from Paraguay pertain to a single species, and the differences in identification stem from alternate taxonomic interpretations on the part of Forel and Emery. All of the material I have examined is rather homogenous and closely matches Emery’s melancholicus types. The distinct appearance of this ant renders it unlikely to be confused with any other species in Paraguay. Camponotus lespesii is large (mesosomal length> 3.5mm in major workers) and more gracile than any other Paraguayan Camponotus of similar size. Additional diagnostic characters include: head of major worker considerably longer than broad; sides of head of major bearing>15 standing setae; antennal scapes lacking standing setae; antennal scapes longer than head length; mesosoma low and elongate, declivitous propodeal face less than 1/3 length of dorsal face; sculpture of head, mesosoma, and gaster opaque.
Forel’s lespesii type, a large minor worker from Colombia, is somewhat lighter in color than the Paraguayan specimens but is otherwise similar. For the purpose of eliminating a trinomen I synonymize C. melancholicus here.

Emended diagnosis
Straight longicones with siphuncle marginal or submarginal, relatively wide with concave or convexoconcave segments; septal necks short, loxochoanitic to orthochoanitic; connecting rings relatively thick; endosiphuncular deposits form thick ventral rod which merges adapically into a complete siphuncular filling, diaphragms unknown; cameral deposits epi- and hyposeptal, concentrated on prosiphuncular side.
Remarks
The diagnosis of the Cyptendoceratidae largely follows Zhuravleva (1994), but is more restricted following the emendation of the Baltoceratidae by Kröger et al. (2007), in which rod-bearing smooth longicones with tubular siphuncles, such as Rangeroceras Hook & Flower, 1977, Rhabdiferoceras Flower, 1964 and Veneficoceras Hook & Flower, 1977, are now included within the Baltoceratidae. The family now contains rod-bearing smooth and annulated forms with concave siphuncular segments and includes four genera: Cyptendoceras Ulrich & Foerste, 1936, Amsleroceras Hook & Flower, 1977, Catoraphiceras Ulrich & Foerste, 1936, and Hemichoanella Teichert & Glenister, 1954.

Camponotus germaini is a soil-nesting species recorded from low forests, second growth forests, and edge habitats. Emery (1911d) distinguished C. tacuruensis from C. germaini on the basis of size and head shape of the major worker. I have examined Emery’s types for both taxa. Although it is true that C. germaini tacuruensis is slightly larger than most collections of C. germaini in Paraguay, I can find no other difference to distinguish C. tacuruensis. The head shape of the major worker in spite of Emery’s written description is scarcely different between the two forms and both forms fall within the observed range of variation of this species in Paraguay.

Fowler (1985a) described the differing habitat associations of Acromyrmex lundii and Acromyrmex pubescens, noting that the former is found in open habitats and the latter in the patchy forest “islands” that occur in the chaco savannah. The two forms are sympatric and structurally similar, both bearing elongate lateral pronotal spines that are longer than the mesonotal spines. However, these ants are distinguishable in pubescence. Much of the integument of A. pubescens is covered in a dense decumbent pubescence while the integument of A. lundi is relatively bare. This difference is easiest to diagnose on the mesopleura, as the mesopleural pubescence of A. pubescens comprises overlapping hairs, while that of A. lundii is sparse and the hairs non-overlapping. Given the ecological and morphological differences in sympatry between these two forms, I elevate A. pubescens to species here.

Crematogaster cisplatinalis is a twig-nesting species recorded most frequently from low-lying open habitats in the Paraguay river floodplain. This species is distinct in a number of characters from C. victima, a slightly larger ant that tends to be found in the better-drained habitats of the eastern forests and cerrados. There is little reason to retain the subspecific status of C. cisplatinalis as the two forms overlap substantially in distribution but differ consistently in numerous characters. Among Paraguayan collections these differences include: standing setae present on tibiae and antennal scapes of C. cisplatinalis (absent in C. victima); dorsum of head almost entirely punctate in C. cisplatinalis, or if a smooth medial strip present the strip is narrower than the width of the compound eye (smooth medial strip present, usually wider than width of compound eye, in C. victima); color brown to black in C. cisplatinalis (testaceous to medium brown in C. victima).
Jack Longino, who has conducted extensive taxonomic work on Neotropical Crematogaster (Longino 2003), confirmed the identifications for both C. victima and C. cisplatinalis in Paraguay and concurs with a change in status of C. cisplatinalis (Longino, pers. comm.).

Material examined
Specimen FMNH-P30426, from Profilstranda section, adjacent to Hinlopenstretet, Spitsbergen, bed PO 07, 4 m above base of Olenidsletta Member, V1 a trilobite zone, Blackhillsian, Floian.
Description
The specimen is a fragment of a slightly crushed 30 mm long portion of a body chamber with the last septum preserved. The conch is smooth, straight and slender and has an elliptically depressed cross section with a height of 18 mm and a width of 22 mm (rW = 1.22). The preserved septum forms a suture that is slightly oblique across the flanks of the conch shifted toward the aperture at the antisiphuncular side of the conch; it forms shallow lateral saddles, is almost transverse dorsally, and forms a deep, broad u-shaped ventral lobe. The siphuncle is marginally positioned and elliptically depressed with a septal perforation 8 mm in height and 9 mm in width (rSD = 0.4). No details of the septal necks or the connecting ring are preserved.
Remarks
The specimen is assigned to Cyptendoceras because of the presence of the characteristic u-shaped ventral lobe. However, neither the septal spacing, nor the details of the septal necks and connecting ring are known, which precludes a species level determination of the specimen.

Crematogaster nitidiceps and Crematogaster victima occur in local sympatry across eastern Paraguay. There is no reason to consider the two forms conspecific, and indeed the two forms are likely not even close relatives. I have not examined type material of either form, but Jack Longino has confirmed the identification of both species in my Paraguayan material and concurs with a change in status for C. nitidiceps (Longino, pers. comm.). In Paraguay, the two species differ in a number of characters, including: antennal scapes in repose fail to meet posterior cephalic margin in C. nitidiceps but surpass posterior margin in C. victima; head in full-face view longer than broad in C. niticeps but broader than long in C. victima; sculpture of lateral face of pronotum smooth and shining in C. nitidiceps but punctate in C. victima; dorsum of head bearing only one or two pairs of standing setae in C. niticeps but bearing> 20 standing clavate setae in C. victima. The two forms show additional differences in eye size, petiolar structure, and mesosomal structure.
