description: Family Petrosiidae van Soest, 1980
The stout strongyles are common in the studied samples (Figs. 16 A–F). These elongated bean-shaped spicules of size ranging from 100 to about 400 µm are characteristic to haplosclerid Petrosia sp. (Vosmaer, 1885). Also, another haplosclerid genus, Haliclona (Reniera) Schmidt, 1862 has spicules similar in morphology but the spicules studied here resemble those of Petrosia the most. Today, petrosiids are widely distributed in shallow and deeper warm-temperate to cold waters in many parts of the world (Desqueyroux-Faúndez & Valentine 2002). There are four species of Petrosia recorded from the Australian coasts: P. (Petrosia) pigmentosa Fromont, 1991, P. hebes Lendenfeld, 1888, P. (Petrosia) nigricans Lindgren, 1897, and P. (Strongylophora) strongylata Thiele, 1903 (Atlas of Living Australia). Unfortunately, the assignment of studied spicules to one of these species is not possible because of their very simple morphology.
The spicules of such shape are common in the fossil record and were described among others from the Devonian of Poland by Hurcewicz (1985, pl. 2, fig. 2; described as Reniera, but this paper is highly unreliable—see Rigby et al. 2001, and Pisera personal comm.). Such strongyles were also described from the Cretaceous (Maastrichtian & Campanian) sediments of NW Germany by Schrammen (1924, pl. 4, figs. 42–45), Early Cretaceous of N Germany by Rüst (1885), and by Hinde (1888) from the Early Carboniferous of England (described as Reniera clavata Levinsen, 1887; pl. 9, fig. 5).

(Fig. 6 a–c)
Plumatella marlieri Wiebach, 1970: p. 73, figs 12–18.
Material examined. No. 441, labeled as a holotype, collected August, 1959 from DR. Congo at the Aquarium at Ndakalas, Uvira, Lake Tanganyika, by G. Marlier.
Description. The brief diagnosis by Wiebach (1970) is confirmed in this excellent specimen. Zooids occur in clusters attached loosely to leaves of Vallisneria and joined to other clusters by linear series of two or more zooids. The colony wall is completely transparent and mostly colorless, becoming light brown in older tubules (Fig. 6a). There are no apparent septa, no raphe, and no incrustation. Floatoblast valves are similarly transparent, colorless, and somewhat fragile (Fig. 6b). When valves are separated the annulus becomes almost invisible compared to the light yellow coloring of the capsule. Small, well-spaced tubercles on the fenestra appear as dark spots under the compound microscope (Fig. 6c). Floatoblast dimensions are shown in Table 2. The specimen has no sessoblasts.
Distribution. The species is known from a single collection at the northern tip of Lake Tanganyika.
Remarks. In this species Wiebach described both thin-walled leptoblasts and “pycnoblasts” which was his term for the more typical robust form of floatoblast. However, my own search found only one form which was lightly sclerotized. Some of these were hatching inside the colony, which is uncommon but not unusual among plumatellids, especially in tropical waters. While it is possible that some of these statoblasts forego the standard period of dormancy, there was no sign of new zooids developing inside the intact statoblasts, as occurs in leptoblasts of P. casmiana. There were also no newly established colonies on the substratum, suggesting that floatoblasts were not hatching immediately after their release.
The specimen was collected by Georges Marlier, then Director of the Central African Institute for Scientific Research in Uvira. In a letter to Wiebach he wrote, “The collection was taken from a large tank for rearing fish…fed continuously by water pumped from Lake Tanganyika across from our laboratory. Therefore, the growth environment was artificial, although the water came in a direct line from the lake.” (Wiebach 1970).

description: Abstract

Arsenic (As) pollution is a worldwide environmental issue due to the lethal and cancer-causing nature of as compounds. Inorganic amendments are widely reported to ameliorate heavy metal polluted soils by reducing the heavy metal mobility and enhancing the plant growth. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of four soil inorganic amendments (Lignite (L), citric acid (CA), ferric oxide (FO) and gypsum (G)) on arsenic (As) bioavailability, As uptake and growth of selected three agroforestry leguminous trees species (Acacia ampliceps, Vachellia nilotica and Dalbergia sissoo) in As contaminated soil. A pot experiment was carried out in controlled conditions under two factor factorial completely randomized design. Pysico-chemical properties of soils along with several morphological, physiological and biochemical plant traits were examined to understand the growth of trees and As behavior under diverse conditions. Results indicated that gypsum was best inorganic amendment for all three species. The maximum shoot length (51.90 ± 0.49 cm), shoot diameter (9.84 ± 0.095 mm), , shoot dry weight (24.72 ± 0.16 g), branch dry weight (14.31 ± 0.09 g), root dry weight (27.88 ± 0.26 g), photosynthetic rate (7.24 ± 0.038 μ moles CO2 m-2 s-1), stomatal conductance (0.34 ± 0.003 mol H2Om-2 s-1), and the minimum arsenic (As) concentration in roots, shoots and leaves (20.34 ± 0.13, 7.48 ± 0.04 and 0.100 ± 0.001 mg/kg DW) were found in the plants of Acacia ampliceps treated with gypsum. The physiological attributes and growth trends for the tree species under all the treatments was noted as A. ampliceps > V. nilotica > D. sissoo while for the treatments was G > FO > L > CA > control. From this study, we concluded that arsenic (As) negatively affected plant’s growth. Inorganic amendments, especially, gypsum was more useful to enhance growth of selected agroforestry tree species in arsenic contaminated soils.
Global Business Strategies and Cultural Adaptation: Investigating the Internationalisation of Luxury Brands in China
Creators: name: Le, Kent
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the internationalisation strategies of luxury fashion brands with a focus on their expansion into the Chinese market. As China solidifies its position as a dominant force in the global luxury sector, understanding the strategic, cultural, and operational dynamics of this market becomes crucial. The research aims to provide a comprehensive framework for luxury brand internationalisation, elucidating the defining characteristics and value creation mechanisms of luxury goods, and evaluating both pre-market entry motives and post-market entry strategic adjustments.

Utilising an interpretivist approach, the study employs qualitative methods, gathering data through semi-structured in-depth interviews with over 50 senior participants from European head offices and Chinese branches of international luxury brands. These participants were purposively selected to provide diverse perspectives on strategic and operational challenges. The thematic analysis of these interviews offers insights into the balance between standardisation and localisation in marketing strategies, highlighting the influence of cultural nuances on brand perception and consumer engagement in China.

Key findings reveal that successful luxury brand internationalisation hinges on a nuanced understanding of local market dynamics, strategic flexibility, and cultural sensitivity. The research identifies critical drivers and barriers to market entry, providing actionable recommendations for luxury brand managers on navigating the complexities of the Chinese market. Additionally, the study contributes to the theoretical literature on international marketing and strategic management, offering new perspectives on the role of cultural factors in global brand strategy.

This thesis underscores the importance of integrating local insights into corporate strategies, ensuring that luxury brands can maintain their global identity while resonating with local consumer preferences. The findings are intended to guide future research and strategic decision-making in the luxury sector, particularly in the context of markets that hold a pivotal role in shaping the future of global luxury, such as China.

Material examined. Nos. 46-47 collected May, 1937 in DR Congo, on rocks in a stream near Weka, northwestern Kongo Central, by Edmund Dartevelle; No. 48 collected January 1938 in DR Congo underneath a floating leaf of a water plant on on the Island of Mateba in the Congo River, Kongo Central Province, by Edmund Dartevelle.
Description. Little remains of the holotype colony described and illustrated by Borg (1940). The largest fragment, on a rock in No. 46, shows a narrow, unbranched tube with four zooids in series (Fig. 8a). The ectocyst is without color and bears a distinct raphe. Nothing in the specimen suggests an elongated, stolon-like zooid. Floatoblasts are missing; however, photos of two floatoblast valves from Borg (1940) are reproduced here in Fig. 8b. The average dimensions cited by Borg (1940 are 383 μm long and 222 μm wide. An intact sessoblast displays a broad annulus without reticulation or other markings (Fig. 8c); sessoblast tubercles become smaller and more widely spaced towards the annulus.
Distribution. Kongo Central Province in DR Congo.
Remarks. The MRAC specimens reveals little useful information. The floatoblast photos provided by Borg (1940) also are limited since we cannot be certain whether the valves shown are dorsal or ventral. However, it is clear that the annulus extends far beyond the capsule (fig. 8c). As a result, the capsule length is only 56-63% of the total floatoblast length. In P. philippinensis, P. marlieri, and most other plumatellids that value is around 80% or more. In Africa it is lower only in P. emarginata and P. bombayensis Annnandale, 1908 where is there a comparable disparity between the length of the whole floatoblast and that of the capsule. The wide sessoblast annulus (Borg, 1940, fig. 3) and the apparent absence of a strong reticulation on the ventral floatoblast fenestra rule out P. bombayensis as the identity of Borg’s species. For these reasons, I consider this specimen to be either a valid species or else it is Plumatella emarginata. The question may be resolved with additional field work.

Material examined. No. 206, type specimen, collected 6 June 1952 in Rwanda at Lake Burera, 60 km NNW Kigali, Northern Province, Burera District, by Hubert Damas.
Description. Colonies have grown completely around narrow stems like a sheath. The soft ectocyst is colorless and transparent (Fig. 9a). While the colonies are tubular many tubules are firmly adhered to each other. Floatoblasts are less than 400 μm in length (Table 2), lightly tuberculated, and show a clear size difference between dorsal and ventral fenestrae (Fig. 9b). Scanning electron microscopy reveals that cells of the annulus are individually highly convex (Fig. 9c). Sessoblasts have a wide annulus that is faintly reticulated; the frontal valve bears fine tubercles.
Distribution. The species is known only from its type locality in Rwanda.
Remarks. The specimen is in excellent condition, including abundant floatoblasts and sessoblasts.

description: Family Mycalidae Lundbeck, 1905
Numerous mycalid spicules were found in the studied material. These nail-shaped spicules called exotyles (Figs. 19 F–L) are 300–400 µm long. They closely resemble spicules of the poecilosclerid sponges of the family Mycalidae. There is some morphological variability of these dermal spicules found in the studied fossil material. Some of them possess a shallow depression at the top of the disc and a small, button-shaped projection in the disc centre (e.g., see Figs. 19 I–L) whereas the others display a flat disc with no button visible (e.g., see Figs. 19 F–H). This variation may suggest that they represent two different species but intraspecific variability cannot be excluded as we know very little about the sponges bearing them. Those with a central depression closely resemble those of the Recent species Mycale (Rhaphidotheca) loricata (Topsent, 1896) (see van Soest & Hajdu 2002, figs. 13A, B). The 200 µm long spicules described by Topsent do not, however, possess the button at the center of the depression (Figs. 20 D, E). While the exotyles with a flat disc surface and without the central button may belong to the other sister species (as the sponges bearing exotyles with a flat disc are not known among present-day species), the ones with a central depression may be assigned, most probably, to Mycale (Rhaphidotheca) cf. loricata.
The exotyles have already been described from the fossil record from the Late Eocene of Norseman (western Australia) by Hinde (1910) while Bukry noted similar spicules from the Middle Miocene from around Greenland (1979, pl. 8, fig. 3).
There were also some other club-shaped spicules found (Figs. 30 Q, U) that are very similar to the spicules occurring in Mycale (Rhaphidotheca) marshallhalli (Kent, 1870) (compare with van Soest & Hajdu 2002, figs. 12C, D). Unfortunately, unquestionable assignment of these spicules to Mycale Gray, 1867a is not possible due to their generalized morphology and the fact that morphologically similar spicules occur in many different demosponge families e.g., Geodiidae [Geodia ostracomorpha (Lévi & Lévi, 1989)], Heteroxyidae (Halicnemia patera Bowerbank, 1864), Vulcanellidae (Sphinctrella porosa Lebwohl, 1914), Guitarridae (Guitarra fimbriata Carter, 1874), Placospongiidae (Placospongia melobesioides Gray, 1867b), Coelosphaeridae [Forcepia (Leptolabis) luciensis (Topsent, 1888)], Pachastrellidae [Characella ijimai (Lebwohl, 1914)]. Additionally, there are some other similar, club-shaped spicules (Figs. 30 N–P) that may belong to the taxa mentioned above but also, in this case, their unquestionable assignment is not possible.

 Range P. s. superbus Biak, Numfor, Yapen.
 Status Resident. First recorded on Biak in December 1962 (King 1979). Thereafter few records until the early 1990s when greater familiarity with the species’ vocalisations improved visitors’ ability to detect it. We recorded several on most visits. That this species has only recently been found on Biak and was not taken by any collectors suggests it may be a latter-day colonist, as this dove was obtained by early collectors such as A. A. Bruijn and O. Beccari on Numfor and Yapen (Salvadori 1880 ‒82) and repeatedly recorded thereafter, especially on Yapen (Diamond & Bishop 2020). The bird in Fig. 4 has a grey, rather than purplish, breast thereby confirming that the Biak population belongs with the nominate subspecies as expected.

description: Numerous studies have revealed that high-speed railways (HSRs) can efficiently reduce transportation costs for firms and therefore bring more business capacities to firms in regions with HSR services. This paper aims to adopt the difference-in-difference (DID) and PSM (propensity score matching) DID methods to examine the HSR’s causal effects on business costs. The author finds that business costs are significantly reduced due to the operation of HSR lines. Besides, private firms and firms in the secondary and tertiary sectors would experience more reductions of business costs encouraged by the HSR than state-owned and agricultural firms. The placebo test and parallel trend test have proved the feasibility of this study. Finally, this paper provides policy suggestions that the construction of HSR lines needs to be encouraged in order to promote the higher efficiency of business operations for firms and more-balanced spatial business developments in China.

The very peculiar microsclere spicules called dischelae (in two size categories, about 50 and 80 µm in diameter) have been found but they are relatively rare (Figs. 19 M, N). Such microscleres clearly belong to the guitarrid genus Coelodischela Vacelet, Vasseur & Lévi, 1976. Two species of Coelodischela are known so far: C. massa Lévi & Lévi, 1983 described from New Caledonia and Cape Verde (van Soest 1988) and C. diatomorpha Vacelet, Vasseur & Lévi, 1976 that inhabits coasts of Madagascar (van Soest et al. 2013). The studied dischelae are similar to both C. diatomorpha and C. massa (compare Fig. 20 F, G with Hajdu & Lerner 2002, figs. 1L–N, respectively) but we can assume that they are more closely related to the former species because it occurs near Australia, around New Caledonia. Also the size of the studied spicules (50 and 80 Μm) suggests its affinity to C. massa which has clearly bigger dischelae (25 and 50 µm respectively) than C. diatomorpha (15 and about 30 µm; Lévi & Lévi 1984). The dischelae studied here belong most probably to ancestor of Recent C. massa.
Dischelae of this type have already been described as fossils form the Late Oligocene of Tasmania and Australia from the cores of the Deep Sea Project (after Kennet et al. 1975). There are also unsure findings of dischelae (with unusual tuberculated pattern and without two contiguous holes) in the Cretaceous of N Germany (Zittel 1876).

description: In developing countries the most marginalised and disadvantaged people are in rural, remote and regional areas and social enterprises in these areas – rural social enterprises (RSEs) – have been identified as key development actors in this context. However, their impacts are rarely rigorously measured. Our study fills this gap by measuring an RSE’s social impact in a developing country. A smallholder farmers’ survey (n = 1021) is utilised in a propensity score-based method which allowed us to generate counterfactual and estimate outcomes between members and non-members of an RSE. This method was complemented by a stakeholder focus group discussion. Predictors of participation and social impacts of the RSE are identified besides an evaluation of its interventions. Results generate implications for social enterprise practitioners, supporters and policymakers interested in applying RSEs as local and regional development actors as well as researchers involved in social impact measurement.

Only a single pseudoastrose acanthotylote (Fig. 19 O) that closely resembles those of Discorhabdella incrustans Dendy 1924, has been found in the studied material (compare with Dendy 1924, pl. 15, figs. 34B, 35; and Fig.
20C). Despite the fact that morphologically the spicules seem to be very similar, the Eocene spicule described here is much bigger (about 180 Μm) than the one described by van Soest (2002c) which was only 35 Μm. Unfortunately, neither the warty-headed tylostyles, nor the polidentate isochelae, characteristic for this species, have been found in the studied material. This crambeid sponge is known today only from New Zealand (Three Kings Island; van Soest 2002c). It may suggest that this spicule belongs to Discorhabdella incrustans. Similar spicules were described from the Late Eocene of New Zealand by Hinde & Holmes (1892; figs. 12.1, 2).

description: Roads constructed on permafrost can have a significant impact on the surrounding environment, potentially inducing permafrost degradation. These impacts arise from factors such as snow accumulation near the road, which affects the soil's thermal and hydrological regime, and road dust that decreases the snow's albedo, altering the timing of snowmelt. However, our current understanding of the magnitude and the spatial extent of these effects is limited. In this study we addressed this gap by using remote sensing techniques to assess the spatial effect of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) in Northwest Territories, Canada, on snow accumulation, snow albedo and snowmelt patterns. With a new, high resolution snow depth raster from airborne laser scanning, we quantified the snow accumulation at road segments in the Trail Valley Creek area using digital elevation model differencing. We found increased snow accumulation up to 36 m from the road center. The magnitude of this snow accumulation was influenced by the prevailing wind direction and the embankment height. Furthermore, by analyzing 43 Sentinel-2 satellite images between February and May 2020, we observed reduced snow albedo values within 500 m of the road, resulting in a 12-days-earlier onset of snowmelt within 100 m from the road. We examined snowmelt patterns before, during and after the road construction using the normalized difference snow index from Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 imagery. Our analysis revealed that the road affected the snowmelt pattern up to 600 m from the road, even in areas which appeared undisturbed. In summary, our study improves our understanding of the spatial impact of gravel roads on permafrost due to enhanced snow accumulation, reduced snow albedo and earlier snowmelt. Our study underscores the important contribution that remote sensing can provide to improve our understanding of the effects of infrastructure development on permafrost environments.
