Type Species: Arvicola curtata Cope 1868
Species and subspecies: 1 species:
Species Lemmiscus curtatus (Cope 1868)
Discussion: Arvicolini. Named as a subgenus of Lagurus to segregate New World sagebrush voles from Old World steppe voles. Davis (1939) underscored the morphological separation between New and Old World forms and raised Lemmiscus to a genus, a view endorsed by Carleton’s (1981) study of gastric anatomy. Subsequent faunal studies and checklists have variously listed Lemmiscus as a genus (Carleton and Musser, 1984; Corbet and Hill, 1991; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Musser and Carleton, 1993) or as a subgenus of Lagurus (Hall, 1981; Honacki et al., 1982). Certain morphological traits associate Lemmiscus with Microtus (Carleton, 1981; Davis, 1939), a relationship supported by phylogenetic evaluation of long repetitive DNA segments (Modi, 1996); chromosomal banding patterns provided little resolution of its affinity (Modi, 1987). Some paleontologists continue to view New World sagebrush voles as lagurines that migrated to North America in the Pleistocene (Chaline, 1985; Chaline et al., 1999); Repenning (1992), however, considered the dental similarities between Lemmiscus and Microtus sufficiently impressive to warrant their joint placement in a tribe Microtini. Taxonomic representation necessary to discriminate the migration scenario from autochthonous differentiation in the New World has yet to be realized in recent molecular studies.

description: Correlation for $p_T$ cross section between 1.6 < |y| < 2.0 and 0.8 < |y| < 1.2
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the $Z$ boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. The results, based on a total of 15.3 million $Z$-boson decays to electron and muon pairs, extend and improve a previous measurement of the full set of angular coefficients describing $Z$-boson decay. The double-differential cross-section distributions in $Z$-boson transverse momentum $p_T$ and rapidity $y$ are measured in the pole region, defined as $80 < m_{\ell\ell} < 100$ GeV, over the range $|y| < 3.6$. The total uncertainty of the normalised cross-section measurements in the peak region of the $p_T$ distribution is dominated by statistical uncertainties over the full range and increases as a function of rapidity from $0.5-1.0$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $2-7$% at higher rapidities. The results for the rapidity-dependent transverse momentum distributions are compared to state-of-the-art QCD predictions, which combine in the best cases approximate N$^4$LL resummation with N$^3$LO fixed-order perturbative calculations. The differential rapidity distributions integrated over $p_T$ are even more precise, with accuracies from $0.2-0.3$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $0.4-0.9$% at higher rapidities, and are compared to fixed-order QCD predictions using the most recent parton distribution functions. The agreement between data and predictions is quite good in most cases.

description: Aims
Glucocorticoid (GC) stimulation has been shown to increase cardiac contractility by elevated intracellular [Ca] but the sources for Ca entry are unclear. This study aims to determine the role of store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) for GC-mediated inotropy.

Methods and results
Dexamethasone (Dex) pretreatment significantly increased cardiac contractile force ex vivo in Langendorff-perfused Sprague-Dawley rat hearts (2 mg/kg BW i.p. Dex 24 h prior to experiment). Moreover, Ca transient amplitude as well as fractional shortening were significantly enhanced in Fura-2-loaded isolated rat ventricular myocytes exposed to Dex (1 mg/mL Dex, 24 h). Interestingly, these Dex-dependent effects could be abolished in the presence of SOCE-inhibitors SKF-96356 (SKF, 2 μM) and BTP2 (5 μM). Ca transient kinetics (time to peak, decay time) were not affected by SOCE stimulation. Direct SOCE measurements revealed a negligible magnitude in untreated myocytes but a dramatic increase in SOCE upon Dex-pretreatment. Importantly, the Dex-dependent stimulation of SOCE could be blocked by inhibition of serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) using EMD638683 (EMD, 50 μM). Dex preincubation also resulted in increased mRNA expression of proteins involved in SOCE (stromal interaction molecule 2, STIM2, and transient receptor potential cation channels 3/6, TRPC 3/6), which were also prevented in the presence of EMD.

Conclusion
Short-term GC-stimulation with Dex improves cardiac contractility by a SOCE-dependent mechanism, which appears to involve increased SGK1-dependent expression of the SOCE-related proteins. Since Ca transient kinetics were unaffected, SOCE appears to influence Ca cycling more by an integrated response across multiple cardiac cycles but not on a beat-to-beat basis.

description: The chemoattractant adipokine chemerin is related to the metabolic syndrome, which is a risk factor for different cancers. Recent studies provide evidence that chemerin is an important molecule in colorectal cancer (CRC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Serum chemerin is high in CRC patients and low in HCC patients and may serve as a differential diagnostic marker for HCC and liver metastases from CRC. To this end, serum chemerin was measured in 36 patients with CRC metastases, 32 patients with HCC and 49 non-tumor patients by ELISA. Chemerin serum protein levels were, however, similar in the three cohorts. Serum chemerin was higher in hypertensive than normotensive tumor patients but not controls. Cancer patients with hypercholesterolemia or hyperuricemia also had increased serum chemerin. When patients with these comorbidities were excluded from the calculation, chemerin was higher in CRC than HCC patients but did not differ from controls. Chemerin did not correlate with the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and alpha-fetoprotein in both cohorts and was not changed with tumor-node-metastasis stage in HCC. Chemerin was not associated with hepatic fat, liver inflammation and fibrosis. To conclude, systemic chemerin did not discriminate between CRC metastases and HCC. Comorbidities among tumor patients were linked with elevated systemic chemerin.

Known distribution.
Species recorded from The Netherlands (Young 1972), Finland, United Kingdom and Ireland (Luther 1961), Gernany (Schwank 1981; Martin and Brunke 2012), Macedonia (Kenk 1978), Romania (Felicia 2018), and Russia (Luther 1961).
Material.
Six specimens studied alive, preserved in absolute ethanol for future molecular analyses; collected in Kirchwerder-Fünfhausen, submerged vegetation and litter in an irrigation channel, 0.1–0.2 m deep.
Remarks.
Mature specimens measuring 0.5–1.2 mm, dark coloured (Fig. 14 A, B). Marginal eyes (Fig. 14 C, D: e) distributed over the anterior third of the body. The pharynx (Fig. 14 B, C) is located over the midbody and the mouth (Fig. 14 C, E: m) opens anterior to the male copulatory organ. The male copulatory organ (Fig. 14 B, E: mco) is 940–1100 µm long (n = 1; varying according to the relaxing stage) and 620 µm at widest. The male organ is spiny over its distal 300–480 µm, and forms a penial papilla (Fig. 14 E: pp). The spines (Fig. 14 F) are 17–18 µm long (n = 10). Two adenodactyls (Fig. 14 E: ad) are located posterior to the male bulb and open into the common atrium, oriented forward, and exhibiting a glandular lumen.
Three species of Polycelis have been documented in Germany, and they are widespread across Europe: P. felina, P. nigra, and P. tenuis (Volk 1903; Ronneberger 1975; Schwank 1981; Müller and Faubel 1993). Among these, only P. nigra has been reported in Hamburg (Volk 1903). Species within the genus Polycelis are primarily distinguished by the structure of the male bulb and adenodactyls. Polycelis tenuis shares with P. felina the presence of two adenodactyls, structures absent in P. nigra. However, P. felina is easily identifiable by the presence of two tentacles in its anterior body region. The penial papilla of P. tenuis is armed with spines along its distal half, whereas P. nigra exhibits two to three spine rows distally, and P. felina lacks any spines in this region (Hansen-Melander et al. 1954; Luther 1961; Harrath et al. 2012). Volk (1903) did not provide detailed morphological information about the specimens of P. nigra recorded in Hamburg. Given the necessity of studying the morphology of atrial organs for accurate identification of these triclads, this record requires confirmation.

description: Obesity and the associated comorbidities are a growing health threat worldwide. Adipose tissue dysfunction, impaired adipokine activity, and inflammation are central to metabolic diseases related to obesity. In particular, the excess storage of lipids in adipose tissues disturbs cellular homeostasis. Amongst others, organelle function and cell signaling, often related to the altered composition of specialized membrane microdomains (lipid rafts), are affected. Within this context, the conserved family of annexins are well known to associate with membranes in a calcium (Ca2+)- and phospholipid-dependent manner in order to regulate membrane-related events, such as trafficking in endo- and exocytosis and membrane microdomain organization. These multiple activities of annexins are facilitated through their diverse interactions with a plethora of lipids and proteins, often in different cellular locations and with consequences for the activity of receptors, transporters, metabolic enzymes, and signaling complexes. While increasing evidence points at the function of annexins in lipid homeostasis and cell metabolism in various cells and organs, their role in adipose tissue, obesity and related metabolic diseases is still not well understood. Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is a potent pro-resolving mediator affecting the regulation of body weight and metabolic health. Relevant for glucose metabolism and fatty acid uptake in adipose tissue, several studies suggest AnxA2 to contribute to coordinate glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) translocation and to associate with the fatty acid transporter CD36. On the other hand, AnxA6 has been linked to the control of adipocyte lipolysis and adiponectin release. In addition, several other annexins are expressed in fat tissues, yet their roles in adipocytes are less well examined. The current review article summarizes studies on the expression of annexins in adipocytes and in obesity. Research efforts investigating the potential role of annexins in fat tissue relevant to health and metabolic disease are discussed.

description: Inflammatory immune responses induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of gram-negative bacteria play an important role in the pathogenesis of preterm labor and delivery, and in neonatal disorders. To better characterize LPS-induced inflammatory response, we determined the cytokine profile of umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UBMC) stimulated with LPS of seven vaginal gram-negative bacteria commonly found in pregnant women with preterm labor and preterm rupture of membrane. UBMC from ten newborns of healthy volunteer mothers were stimulated with purified LPS of Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Citrobacter freundii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. UBMC supernatants were tested for the presence of secreted pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF), anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10), TH1-type cytokines (IL-12, IFN-γ), and chemokines (IL-8, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, MCP-1) by Luminex technology. The ten cytokines were differentially induced by the LPS variants. LPS of E. coli and E. aerogenes showed the strongest stimulatory activity and P. aeruginosa the lowest. Interestingly, the ability of UBMC to respond to LPS varied greatly among donors, suggesting a strong individual heterogeneity in LPS-triggered inflammatory response.

description: Aim was to compare the impact of bedside percutaneous dilational tracheostomy (PDT) and open surgical technique (ST) on intracranial pressure (ICP), pulmonary gas exchange and hemodynamics. We retrospectively analyzed data of 92 neurocritical care patients with invasive ICP monitoring during either PDT (43 patients) or ST (49 patients). Peak ICP levels were higher during PDT (22 [17-38] mm Hg vs 19 [13-27] mm Hg, P=.029). Mean oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (etCO(2)) did not differ. Episodes with relevant desaturation (SpO(2)<90%) or hypercapnia (etCO(2)>50mm Hg) occurred rarely (5/49 during ST vs 3/43 during PDT for SpO(2)<90%; 2/49 during ST vs 5/43 during PDT for hypercapnia). Drops in mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 60mm Hg were seen more often during PDT (8/43 vs 2/49, P=. 026). Mean infusion rate of norepinephrine did not differ (0.52mg/h during ST vs 0.45mg/h during PDT). No fatal complications were observed. Tracheostomy can be performed as ST and PDT safely in neurocritical care patients. The impact on ICP, pulmonary gas exchange and hemodynamics remains within an unproblematic range.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Revised by Chernyavskii et al. (1980); additional chromosomal data analyzed by Gileva et al. (1984). The distinctiveness of L. amurensis has been reaffirmed by Chernyavskii et al. (1993), who studied karyotypes, craniodental traits, and pelage coloration and reported its range extension in the Kamchatka Peninsula. Fedorov et al. (1999 b) similarly demonstrated its genetic isolation relative to L. trimucronatus and L. sibiricus based on mitochondrial DNA analyses. Their study highlights the biogeographic importance of the Lena-Kolyma catchment, with L. trimucronatus ranging east of the Kolyma River, L. sibiricus ranging to the west of the Lena River, and L. amurensis found in-between; discontinuities in mitochondrial DNA sequences among samples of Dicrostonyx are also localized in the region of the Kolyma and Lena Rivers (Federov, 1999; Federov et al., 1999 a).
Includes chrysogaster, a form sometimes viewed as a species (e.g., Gileva et al., 1984; Gromov and Erbajeva, 1995). In identifying their Chukotskiy sample as the species chrysogaster, Gileva et al. (1984) inadvertently confused understanding of the taxonomy and ranges of these lemmings (see remarks under L. sibiricus and L. trimucronatus). The type locality of chrysogaster is Gichiga, a place near the west coast of the Okhotsk Sea (Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951:656) and at the margin of the known range of L. amurensis, and we refer chrysogaster to that species. Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) retained, with reservation, chrysogaster in the synonymy of L. sibiricus, which then was thought to occur in the region as far as the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Discussion: European populations reviewed by Tast (1982 a) and Mitchell-Jones et al. (1999); Russia segment reviewed by Gromov and Erbajeva (1995). Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome b haplotypes has revealed appreciable nucleotide divergence between Scandinavian and Siberian samples (Fedorov et al., 1999 b); that genetic characterization, in combination with unique pelage coloration, supports the specific integrity of L. lemmus relative to the geographically allopatric L. sibiricus. Although now absent from the British Isles, the species occurred there during the Pleistocene and Late Glacial (Late Palaeolithic) times (Sutcliffe and Kowalski, 1976; Yalden, 1999).

description: Gene expression analysis of rare or heterogeneous cell populations such as disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) requires a sensitive method allowing reliable analysis of single cells. Therefore, we developed and explored the feasibility of a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay to analyze single-cell cDNA pre-amplified using a previously established whole transcriptome amplification (WTA) protocol. We carefully selected and optimized multiple steps of the protocol, e.g. re-amplification of WTA products, quantification of amplified cDNA yields and final qPCR quantification, to identify the most reliable and accurate workflow for quantitation of gene expression of the ERBB2 gene in DCCs. We found that absolute quantification out-performs relative quantification. We then validated the performance of our method on single cells of established breast cancer cell lines displaying distinct levels of HER2 protein. The different protein levels were faithfully reflected by transcript expression across the tested cell lines thereby proving the accuracy of our approach. Finally, we applied our method to breast cancer DCCs of a patient undergoing anti-HER2-directed therapy. Here, we were able to measure ERBB2 expression levels in all HER2-protein-positive DCCs. In summary, we developed a reliable single-cell qPCR assay applicable to measure distinct levels of ERBB2 in DCCs.

description: Chemerin is a multifunctional adipokine with established roles in inflammation, adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis. Increasing evidence suggest an important function of chemerin in cancer. Chemerin’s main cellular receptors, chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1), G-protein coupled receptor 1 (GPR1) and C-C chemokine receptor-like 2 (CCRL2) are expressed in most normal and tumor tissues. Chemerin’s role in cancer is considered controversial, since it is able to exert both anti-tumoral and tumor-promoting effects, which are mediated by different mechanisms like recruiting innate immune defenses or activation of endothelial angiogenesis. For this review article, original research articles on the role of chemerin and its receptors in cancer were considered, which are listed in the PubMed database. Additionally, we included meta-analyses of publicly accessible DNA microarray data to elucidate the association of expression of chemerin and its receptors in tumor tissues with patients’ survival.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition that involves the production of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) that stimulate degradative enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases (ADAMTS) resulting in articular cartilage breakdown. The presence of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is one reason for poor clinical outcomes in current cell-based tissue engineering strategies for treating focal early osteoarthritic defects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a potential cell source for articular cartilage regeneration, although IL-1 beta has been shown to inhibit in vitro chondrogenesis. In vivo, articular chondrocytes reside under a low oxygen environment between 2-5% oxygen (physioxia) and have been shown to enhance in vitro MSC chondrogenic matrix content with reduced hypertrophic marker expression under these conditions. The present investigation sought to understand the effect of physioxia on IL-1 beta inhibited MSC chondrogenesis. MSCs expanded under physioxic (2% oxygen) and hyperoxic (20%) conditions, then chondrogenically differentiated as pellets in the presence of TGF-beta 1 and either 0.1 or 0.5 ng/mL IL-1 beta. Results showed that there were donor variations in response to physioxic culture based on intrinsic GAG content under hyperoxia. In physioxia responsive donors, MSC chondrogenesis significantly increased GAG and collagen II content, whilst hypertrophic markers were reduced compared with hyperoxia. In the presence of IL-1 beta, these donors showed a significant increase in cartilage matrix gene expression and GAG content relative to hyperoxic conditions. In contrast, a set of MSC donors were unresponsive to physioxia and showed no significant increase in matrix production independent of IL-1 beta presence. Thus, physioxia has a beneficial effect on MSC cartilage matrix production in responsive donors with or without IL-1 beta application. The mechanisms controlling the MSC chondrogenic response in both physioxia responsive and unresponsive donors are to be elucidated in future investigations.
Reasons, attenuators, and virtue: a novel account of pragmatic encroachment
Creators: name: Schmidt, Eva
Publisher: name: TU Dortmund

Subjects: subject: 100

description: In this paper, I explicate pragmatic encroachment by appealing to pragmatic considerations attenuating, or weakening, epistemic reasons to believe. I call this the ‘Attenuators View’. I will show that this proposal is better than spelling out pragmatic encroachment in terms of reasons against believing – what I call the ‘Reasons View’. While both views do equally well when it comes to providing a plausible mechanism of how pragmatic encroachment works, the Attenuators View does a better job distinguishing practical and epistemic reasons to believe. First, this view does not appeal to the costs of believing falsely as reasons against believing; second, because of this, it does not run the risk of tearing down the wall between practical and epistemic reasons bearing on belief. I underpin the Attenuators View with a virtue-theoretic account of how pragmatic encroachment attenuates epistemic reasons and close my discussion by considering some objections against such a view.

description: Die Bewehrungskorrosion reduziert die Lebensdauer von Bauwerken aus Stahlbeton maßgeblich. Eine Hauptursache sind Chloride aus Tausalzen oder Meerwasser, die in den Beton eindringen. Daher haben sich die Industriepartner instakorr GmbH, Massenberg GmbH, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials GmbH und Forschungspartner FH Münster sowie TU Dortmund zusammengeschlossen, um im Rahmen eines ZIM-Forschungsprojektes den präventiven Schutz durch eine Chloridbarriere zu untersuchen. Die TU Dortmund führt innerhalb des Projektes Untersuchungen zu Mörtelzusammensetzungen durch und charakterisiert diese. Eine weitere Besonderheit ist der Nachhaltigkeitsaspekt, da recycelte Carbonfasern für die Steigerung der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit eingesetzt werden. Dafür kommen verschiedene Faserarten, -geometrien und -gehalte zum Einsatz. In dieser Veröffentlichung werden Ergebnisse aus der Definition und Variation der Parameter sowie Daten der Laborversuche gezeigt und die leistungsfähigsten Kombinationen im Hinblick auf den Einsatz in der Chloridbarriere dargestellt.

Paranikione

description: Paranikione, n. gen.
DIAGNOSIS: Female: Body asymmetrical. Head wider than long, with well-developed frontal lamina. Barbula with two pairs of smooth lateral projections. All pereomeres with coxal plates, first four with dorsolateral bosses. Brood pouch open; internal ridge of oostegite 1 smooth. Pleon with six segments, five pairs of pleopods and tuberculate biramous uropods.
Male: Body segments distinct, pereomeres subequal in width, pleon with five pairs of tuberculate pleopods, sixth pleomere with posterolateral uropods.
TYPE SPECIES: Paranikione sibogae, n. sp., by original designation.
OTHER SPECIES: Paranikione distorta, n. sp.
ETYMOLOGY: Paranikione refers to the close relationship of the new genus to Nikione Kensley, 1974. The genus name is feminine.
REMARKS: Females of both species of Paranikione, n. gen., have a well-developed frontal lamina, coxal plates on all pereomeres and pleomeres, and biramous pleopods and uropods. These two species are allied to the monotypic genera Nikione and Urobopyrus Richardson, 1904, which also infest processid shrimp. The new genus is most closely related to Nikione, but differs in that females of Nikione have only five pleomeres while those of Paranikione, n. gen., have six distinct pleomeres. The key characteristic of Urobopyrus is that the female has no lateral plates on the pleomeres, but species of Paranikione, n. gen., have well-developed lateral plates on all pleomeres.

description: Background and Purpose: Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) requires rapid decision making toward neurosurgery or conservative neurological stroke unit treatment. In a previous study, we found overestimation of clinical symptoms when clinicians rely mainly on cerebral computed tomography (cCT) analysis. The current study investigates differences between neurologists and neurosurgeons estimating specific scores and clinical symptoms. Methods: Overall, 14 neurologists and 15 neurosurgeons provided clinical estimates and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as well as Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) based on cCT images and basic information of 50 patients with hypertensive and lobar ICH. Subgroup analyses were performed for the different professions (neurologists vs. neurosurgeons) and bleeding subtypes (typical location vs. atypical). The differences between the actual GCS and NIHSS scores and the cCT-imaging-based estimated scores were depicted as Bland-Altman plots and negative and positive predictive value (NPV and PPV) for prediction of clinical relevant items. Delta NIHSS points (Delta GCS points) were calculated as the difference between actual and rated NIHSS (GCS) including 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Mean Delta GCS points for neurosurgeons was 1.16 (95% CI: -2.67-4.98); for neurologists, 0.99 (95% CI: -2.58-4.55), p = 0.308; mean Delta NIHSS points for neurosurgeons was -2.95 (95% CI: -12.71-6.82); for neurologists, -0.33 (95% CI: -9.60-8.94), p < 0.001. NPV and PPV for stroke symptoms were low, with large differences between different symptoms, bleeding subtypes, and professions. Both professions had more problems in proper rating of specific clinic-neurological symptoms than rating scores. Conclusion: Our results stress the need for joint decision making based on detailed neurological examination and neuroimaging findings also in telemedicine.

description: Numerical optimisation is applied to rod extrusion in order to generate optimal parameter sets which result in reduced damage accumulation. A brief overview of academic applications for damage optimisation is given. Their restrictions are reflected upon, leading to the proposed framework utilising the commercial software Abaqus FEA, which enables optimisation of industrial problems with frictional contact. The framework is setup modularly to enable arbitrary choices of design variables, such as geometric parameters, and process parameters like friction coefficients or boundary conditions. The optimisation strategy is applied to forward hollow extrusion. Compared to forward rod extrusion, an additional design variable, that is, the mandrel radius, is introduced into the forming process, which increases the design space.

description: Correlation for $p_T$ cross section between 1.6 < |y| < 2.0 and 1.6 < |y| < 2.0
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the $Z$ boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. The results, based on a total of 15.3 million $Z$-boson decays to electron and muon pairs, extend and improve a previous measurement of the full set of angular coefficients describing $Z$-boson decay. The double-differential cross-section distributions in $Z$-boson transverse momentum $p_T$ and rapidity $y$ are measured in the pole region, defined as $80 < m_{\ell\ell} < 100$ GeV, over the range $|y| < 3.6$. The total uncertainty of the normalised cross-section measurements in the peak region of the $p_T$ distribution is dominated by statistical uncertainties over the full range and increases as a function of rapidity from $0.5-1.0$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $2-7$% at higher rapidities. The results for the rapidity-dependent transverse momentum distributions are compared to state-of-the-art QCD predictions, which combine in the best cases approximate N$^4$LL resummation with N$^3$LO fixed-order perturbative calculations. The differential rapidity distributions integrated over $p_T$ are even more precise, with accuracies from $0.2-0.3$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $0.4-0.9$% at higher rapidities, and are compared to fixed-order QCD predictions using the most recent parton distribution functions. The agreement between data and predictions is quite good in most cases.
