Pristiophorus cirratus (non Latham): Thompson, 1914: 153. A single record of this species is based on a specimen from False Bay (WC) that was a misidentification by G.A. Boulenger, but later used by Regan as one of the two syntypes for P. warreni (see Barnard, 1925: 53; Smith, 1949a: 61; Smith, 1965: 61).
South Africa voucher material: Syntypes: BMNH 1899.2.10.4, BMNH 1905.6.8.9.

South Africa distribution: Table Bay (WC) to the KZN border with Mozambique.
Remarks: The genus Pliotrema has been considered to be monotypic, but a recent revision has revealed two new species in the genus (Weigmann et al., 2020); both new species do not occur off South Africa. The global distribution of P. warreni is now considered to range from central Namibia to southern Mozambique, with most of the population occurring on the Agulhas Bank (EC), South Africa.
Conservation status: LC (2020).

South Africa distribution: Cape St. Francis (EC) to KZN, but rare south of KZN.
Remarks: The species S. tigrinum has a complicated taxonomic history with at least 15 different scientific names having been ascribed to it. Until recently, the scientific name most widely accepted for this species was S. fasciatum (Hermann, 1783) based on Squalus varius Seba, 1759. However, a recent review on the taxonomic history concluded that S. tigrinus (Forster, 1781) is the proper valid name for this species (Dahl et al., 2019).

On the renormalization of ultraviolet divergences in the inflationary angular power spectrum
Creators: name: del Rio, Adrian
name: Navarro-Salas, Jose
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revise the role that ultraviolet divergences of quantum fields play in slow-roll inflation, and discuss the renormalization of cosmological observables from a space-time perspective, namely the angular power spectrum. We first derive an explicit expression for the multipole coefficients $C_{\ell}$ in the Sachs-Wolfe regime in terms of the two-point function of primordial perturbations. We then analyze the ultraviolet behavior, and point out that the standard result in the literature is equivalent to a renormalization of $C_{\ell}$ at zero ``adiabatic'' order. We further argue that renormalization at second ``adiabatic'' order may be more appropriate from the viewpoint of standard quantum field theory. This may change significantly the predictions for $C_{\ell}$, while maintaining scale invariance.

description: The PhD program explores strategies to enhance the sustainability of the healthcare system in Nepal by identifying high-value alternative healthcare delivery arrangements. The research also addresses high-impact maternal and newborn disorders. It evaluates the readiness of health facilities to provide maternal and newborn health services. Additionally, the study examines barriers and enablers to implementing integrated postpartum contraceptive counselling and insertion of postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices within maternity care, a potentially high-value model to enhance services for improving maternal and newborn health. Overall, this thesis has identified opportunities for improving healthcare delivery and, in turn, improving the sustainability of the healthcare system in Nepal.

Awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) among Veterinarians
Creators: name: Warsha Chaudhary and Hemant Fagna
Publisher: name: Bio vet innovator magazine
Year: 2024

description: Abstract:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe and escalating threat to global health, affecting both human and animal populations. Veterinarians, as the main prescribers of antibiotics in animal healthcare, play a vital role in tackling this challenge. This study evaluates the awareness and understanding of AMR among veterinarians, identifying factors that influence their antibiotic prescribing behaviours. Although veterinarians are generally aware of the significance of AMR, there are notable knowledge gaps in specific areas, such as resistance mechanisms, appropriate antibiotic usage guidelines, and the significance of surveillance initiatives. Barriers like inadequate training, economic constraints, and limited access to diagnostic tools often contribute to suboptimal antibiotic use. Strengthening awareness through improved education, antibiotic stewardship, and adherence to evidence-based protocols is essential in combating AMR in veterinary practice.Keywords: AMR, Veterinarians, Antibiotic, Awareness, Barriers, Stewardship

Females migrate seasonally between mating (central KZN) and pupping grounds (northern KZN). Juvenile sharks display site fidelity to summer nursery areas and the species is possibly philopatric (Dicken et al., 2007). Three adults tagged by KZN Sharks Board and recaptured after more than 20 years at liberty suggest long lifespan (S.P. Wintner, unpubl. data). A popular shark frequently displayed in public aquaria as well as in diving ecotourism. Current South African legislation prohibits both commercial and recreational catch (NPOA, 2013).
Conservation status: VU (2009).

description: Abstract

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a complex and intractable health problem, globally.  The incidence of HF is increasing due to population ageing and the availability of effective life-prolonging therapies. The purpose of the present study was to explore quality of life among patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction of left ventricular  (HFpEF). Material and Method: The sample of the study consisted of 100 outpatients with HF and preserved ejection fraction left ventricular who underwent cardiology assessment at the outpatient clinics of a public hospital in the prefecture of Attica. The Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used to collect the data. Results: Of the 100 participants, 25% had a total score in quality of life greater than 54, indicating moderate levels of quality of life in the sample. The total quality of life score was found to be statistically significantly associated  with age (p=0,023), with their opinion if they were able to follow treatment instructions (p=0,001), weight measurement once a week (p=0,001) and with co-morbidity (p=0,001). The subscale of physical dimension was found to be statistically significantly associated with age (p=0,031), gender (p=0,035), their opinion whether they followed treatment instructions (p=0,020), body weight measurement once a week (p=0,002) and with co-morbidity (p=0,001). The subscale of mental dimension was statistically significantly associated  with their opinion whether  they followed treatment instructions (p=0,001), body weight measurement once a week (p=0,001) and their opinion that they were able to promptly recognize  worsening of symptoms (p=0,017). Conclusions: Knowing the factors that influence patients' quality of life is expected to help develop personalized care programs.

South Africa voucher material: SAIAB 6181 [former ORI 528], SAIAB 6205 [former ORI 1745].
South African distribution: Known from a few specimens in the WC between Saldanha Bay and Cape Point, including a couple that washed up on beaches. Likely occurs along the entire coast offshore.
Remarks: D’Aubrey (1964b) compared a specimen captured off Cape Town to all other known synonyms for this species, concluding that only a single species exists worldwide. At least two specimens were found washed up on beaches or swimming feebly in the surf in False Bay and near Cape Point and another was caught off Saldanha Bay on a longline (WC). The species is very common in the Mozambique Channel and so it is likely to be found along the entire coast of South Africa.
Conservation status: LC (2019).

Boysidia (Paraboysidia) Pilsbry, 1917: 174, 201.
Remarks.
We have divided the genus Bensonella in two species groups:
Group 1: Bensonella plicidens group which includes the majority of species. This group can be recognised by the combination of the following traits: i) a distinct palatal tubercle on the palatal lip (Fig. 9); ii) three barriers on the parietal side (angular, parietal, and infraparietal) (Fig. 9). Several species within the Bensonella plicidens group are not typical because they either lack a palatal tubercle or some of the three barriers on the parietal side (see remarks sections under those species).
Group 2: Bensonella wangviangensis species group includes only four species (B. wangviangensis, B. cardiostoma sp. nov., B. fracta sp. nov., and B. mitochondria sp. nov.). This group is recognised by the combination of the following traits: i) triangular-conical shell shape; ii) angular lamella as strong as the parietal or stronger, fully reaching the peristome; iii) palatal tubercle not typical but clearly represents a slightly discontinued part of the upper palatal plica (thus, it is of more lamella-like than tubercle-like). This part of the upper palatal plica is most probably homologous to the palatal tubercle found in other Bensonella species; iv) angular lamella and palatal tubercle are situated close together leaving a relatively narrow canal to the sinulus.
1. Bensonella plicidens group
Diagnosis. This species group is characterised by a distinct palatal tubercle on the peristome. as well as three barriers on the parietal side (angular, parietal, and infraparietal).
Remarks. The group includes 32 species distributed from eastern India all the way to northern Vietnam but also present in Japan, China, Taiwan, and south to Indonesia.

description: The present dissertation addresses the gap of how the three contextual variables (power, distance, and imposition) affect the use and perception of pitch range and final pitch contours in Central Peninsular Spanish polar questions. The methodological approach in this dissertation combines a production experiment in the form of a contextualized sentence-reading task (e.g., Brown et al., 2014; Henriksen, 2013) and a perception experiment using a pragmatic judgment task (e.g., Nadeu & Prieto, 2011). Both tasks systematically incorporated a set of situations that included the contextual variables of power, distance, and imposition. Thus, this dissertation provides a systematic analysis of power, distance, and imposition to investigate their influence on the use and perception of pitch range and pitch contours. To analyze pitch in the production experiment, a categorical analysis of final pitch contours (e.g., low-rising contour) and a quantitative analysis of prosodic features (i.e., pitch range and its conversion into semitones) were conducted. For the perception experiment, analyses included the comparison of linear mixed models to examine the perceived degree of politeness.The findings presented in this dissertation support the Frequency Code Hypothesis in that they showed the relevance of pitch for signaling and perceiving politeness in requests in Spanish. The results from the production experiment suggested there are no effects of power, distance, and imposition on the selection of final intonational contours. Regarding the analysis of pitch range, the results from the production experiment indicated that the use of greater pitch range was associated with an increase in the social distance between the speakers. In the perception experiment, the results indicated that an increase in pitch range was directly associated with an increase in the perceived degree of politeness. Furthermore, the findings from this dissertation provided evidence for including a systematic analysis of the contextual variables of power, distance, and imposition to conduct analyses within the politeness framework instead of analyzing the formal/informal dimension in isolation The overall results of this dissertation contribute to the understanding of how suprasegmental features are employed in showing and perceivicing politeness.

description: We apply regular arrays of plasmonic nanodisks to enhance light emission from an organic white light-emitting diode (WOLED). To achieve broadband enhancement, we apply, first, aluminum as a nanodisk material with moderate loss throughout the whole visible spectral range. Second, broadband light coupling is mediated by surface lattice resonances from a multipitch array built from two superimposed gratings with different grating constants formed by elliptic and circular nanodisks. To demonstrate the viability of this concept, the grating structure was embedded in the hole transport layer of a solution-processed phosphorescent WOLED exhibiting a current efficiency of 2.1 cd/A at 1000 cd/m2. The surface lattice resonances in the grating raise the current efficiency of the device by 23% to 2.6 cd/A at 1000 cd/m2, while the device emission changes from a neutral white to a warm white appearance with CIE1931 (x,y) coordinates of (0.361, 0.352) and (0.404, 0.351), respectively. The WOLED was characterized in detail optically by extinction and angle-resolved photoluminescence and as well by electroluminescence measurements for its opto-electronic characteristics. The experimental results agree well with finite-difference time domain simulations that aim at a better understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms. In summary, our work presents a novel versatile approach for achieving broadband enhancement of light emission in WOLEDs over a wide spectral range.

description: Personalized medicine requires the assessment of the impact of health care interventions on Health-Related Quality of Life. We run an observational study of HRQoL in 140 CVID patients with biannual assessments over 8  years using a disease-specific tool, the CVID_QoL, and the GHQ questionnaires. Factors influencing changes in HRQoL scores were identified using multiple linear regression models with a stepwise procedure. Infections frequency, female gender, and chronic enteropathy were associated with worse global CVID_QoL scores. The presence of permanent organ damage and older age contributed to the perception of being at risk of health deterioration, while chronic enteropathy was associated with fatigue. The presence of permanent organ damage was also associated with perceived difficulties in usual activities. The frequency of infections was the main risk factor for difficulties in long-term planning and perceptions of vulnerability. Before COVID-19, improved HRQoL scores were associated with reduced respiratory infections and changes in immunoglobulin replacement route and setting. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden deterioration in all HRQoL dimensions, and a further deterioration in the emotional dimension was observed during the pandemic period. Patients who died during the study had worse CVID_QoL scores at all time points, confirming that HRQoL performance is strongly related to patient outcome. Periodic HRQoL assessments are needed to capture relevant issues that change over time in patients affected by long-term chronic conditions such CVID, possibly identifying areas of intervention.
