Many field observations have been made on predation by a variety of fish species on the demersally spawned eggs of the Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) (Dunn, 1898; Bowman, 1922; Hempel & Hempel, 1971; Toresen, 1985). Field observations on the predation of herring larvae by fish are comparatively rare although jellyfish medusae have been identified as larval predators (Van der Veer et al, 1983; Moller, 1984). Recently several experiments have been carried out on the predation of medusae and other planktonic organisms (Bailey & Batty, 1983) and of fish on herring larvae (Christensen, 1983; Fuiman & Gamble, 1987). Despite the lack of field observations Hunter (1984) considered that predation, most probably by fish, was the major cause of mortality in fish larvae.

A taxonomic review of the genus Longgenacris You & Li, 1983 is provided, the taxonomic position of the genus is discussed briefly and clarified; the original placement of the genus in the subfamily Melanoplinae is confirmed. Type species of the genus Fruhstorferiola Willemse, 1922 is redescribed and new synonymy is proposed: Fruhstorferiola tonkinensis (Willemse, 1921) = Longgenacris rufiantennus Zheng et Wei, 2003, syn. nov.

Four species of Phlyctaenopora Topsent, 1904 (Demospongiae Sollas, Poecilosclerida Topsent, Mycalidae Lundbeck) are recognised today (Van Soest et al. 2021a) (Table 1): two Atlantic Ocean species in subgenus Phlyctaenopora [type species P. (P.) bitorquis Topsent, 1904, from the Azores; P. (P.) halichondrioides van Soest & Stentoft, 1988, from Barbados]; and two Southern Hemisphere species in subgenus Barbozia Dendy, 1922: P. (Barbozia) primitiva Dendy, 1922, from the Seychelles, and P. (B.) bocagei Lévi & Lévi, 1983, from New Caledonia. Here we describe a new species of Phlyctaenopora from Wanganella North in International Waters on the West Norfolk Ridge, northwest of New Zealand. Phlyctaenopora (B.) spina sp. nov. provides a first record of the genus in the South Pacific, providing further confirmation of the integrity of the subgenus Barbozia.

En el artículo se aborda la implementación de políticas de la comunicación en Azul, en Olavarría y en Tandil, en el período 1922-1983, como aporte a la historia regional de los medios y a las reflexiones en torno de la federalización de la producción audiovisual. Desde una perspectiva situada en ciudades medias, se ponen en diálogo algunas de las principales hipótesis o generalizaciones sostenidas por los estudios de políticas de comunicación, a partir de tomar como referencia teórica y metodológica trabajos sobre políticas públicas provenientes de la ciencia política.

SUMMARY This paper investigates the syllable structure of Cyprian, an ancient Greek dialect written with a syllabary. Based on the corroboration of orthographic and metrical evidence, Cyprian is found to have a syllable structure which maximizes onsets to allow clusters of equal or rising sonority (see also Deecke 1884, Meister 1894, Thumb & Scherer 1922, Lejeune 1972, and Masson 1983). This analysis is different from the traditional view of Greek syllable structure which considers all intervocalic consonant clusters to be hetero-syllabic (Hermann 1923, Meillet 1934). The support for the traditional view of Greek syllable structure is critiqued and found to be unreliable. Competing views on Cyprian syllabary which were largely motivated by a desire to defend the traditional view of Greek syllable structure are also critiqued (Morpurgo Davies 1987, Viredaz 1983, Miller 1994, and Woodard 1994). These alternative explanations of the Cyprian syllabary are found to be needlessly complicated and to employ ad hoc devices. Finally, the traditional reconstruction of Proto-Greek is evaluated against Steriade's (1982) proposal, which allows complex onsets of equal or rising sonority. Steriade's proposal is found to be the more sensible. RÉSUMÉ Cet article examine la structure syllabique du cypriote, dialecte grec ancien écrit en caractère syllabique. Grâce à des preuves orthographiques et métriques, on conclut que le cypriote avoit une structure syllabique maximisant le point d'attaque ('onset') permettant la présence de groupes de consonnnes croissant ou stables en sonorité (voir Deecke 1884, Meister 1894, Thumb & Scherer 1922, Lejeune 1972 et Masson 1983). Cette analyse diffère du point de vue traditionel, en ce qui a trait à la structure syllabique de grec, selon lequel tout groupe de consonnes était hétérosyllabique en position intervocalique (Hermann 1932, Meillet 1943). Dans le présent acticle on critique ce point de vue, et on triouve peu fiabe son analyse de la structure syllabique du grec. On y critique aussi les avis contraires exprimés quant au syllabaire cypriote dont la plupart semblent motivés par le désir de maintenir intactles analyses traditio-nelles de la structure syllabique du grec (Morpurgo Davies 1987, Viredaz 1983, Miller 1994 et Woodard 1994). Les explications alternatives sont jugées être d'une complexité inutile, et de faire appel à des explications ad hoc. Enfin, on compare la reconstruction traditionelle du proto-grec à la proposition de Steriade (1982) que permet des groupes de consonnes complexes, de sonorité égale ou croissante dans le point d'attaque. On conclut que la proposition de Steriade est la plus raisonnable. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG In vorliegendem Beitrag wird die Silbenstruktur des Zypriotischen unter-sucht. Zypriotisch ist ein altert ümlicher Dialekt des Griechischen, der in Form des Syllabars geschrieben wird. Aufgrund von orthographischen sowie metrischen Übereinstimmungen wird geschlossen, daß die Silbenstruktur des Zypriotischen Silbenanlaute maximiert, die aus Konsonantenhäufungen mit gleich-wertiger oder steigender Klangfülle bestehen (s. Deecke 1884, Meister 1894, Thumb & Scherer 1922, Lejeune 1972, Masson 1983). Diese Analyse unter-scheidet sich von den herkömmlichen Sichtweisen der griechischen Silbenstruktur, die zwischenvokalische Konsonantenhäufungen als heterosilbisch ansehen (Herman 1932, Meillet 1943). Die Basis dieser herkömmlichen Sichtweisen der griechischen Silbenstruktur wird hier kritisch untersucht und als unzuverlässig befunden. Konkurrierende Sichtweisen des zypriotischen Syllabars, welche vom Wunsch geleitet sind, herkömmliche Sehensweise der griechischen Silbenstruktur zu verteidigen (Morpurgo Davies 1987, Viredaz 1983, Miller 1994 und Woodard 1994), werden ebenfalls kritisch untersucht. Diese konkurrierenden Erklarungen des zypriotischen Syllabars werden als unnö-tigerweise kompliziert gefunden. Weiterhin wird festgestellt, daB dabei auch ad hoc-Analysenmittel benutzt werden. SchlieBlich wird die herkömmliche Re-konstruktion des Proto-Griechischen mit dem Vorschlag von Steriade (1982) verglichen. Ihr Vorschlag läßt die Möglichkeit komplexer Silbenanlaute mit gleichwertiger oder steigender Klangfülle zu. Die hier vorgelegte Analyse hat gezeigt, daB der Vorschlag Steriades besser motiviert ist als die übrigen Theo-rien.

There are no definitive behavioural studies on the webbing clothes moth, Tineola bisselliella (Hum.) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), that demonstrate the sex emitting or responding to communication signals. Roth and Willis (1952) reported male courtship (wing-fanning) behaviour ≤1 cm from an excised female pheromone gland, suggesting the presence of a female-produced sex pheromone that is effective at close range; however, isolated or groups of males also wing-fanned in the absence of females (Titschack 1922; Roth and Willis 1952; S Takács, personal observation). Titschack (1922) suggested that this behaviour may serve to either “disperse odorous substances” produced by males or indicate sexual excitement, while Roth and Willis (1952) considered wingfanning in the absence of females as “vacuum activity”. Male T. bisselliella responded more strongly to larval habitat and sought it earlier at night than females (Takács et al. 2001a, 2001b). Habitat selection by males could enhance their mating success by placing them near resources essential to females (Emlen and Oring 1977; Thornhill and Alcock 1983). If males were to produce communication signals, they may enhance the attractiveness of larval habitat to foraging females. Our objective was to determine whether male and (or) female T. bisselliella produce mate-attracting signals.

Abstract The high frequency of historical eruptions at Kīlauea Volcano presents an exceptional opportunity to address fundamental questions related to the transport, storage, and interaction of magmas within rift zones. The Nāpau Crater area on Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone (ERZ) experienced nine fissure eruptions within 50 years (1961–2011). Most of the magma intruded during these frequent eruptions remained stored within the rift zone, creating a potential magma mixing depot within the ERZ. The superbly monitored and sampled 2011 eruption (Puʻu ʻŌʻō episode 59) presents an extraordinary opportunity to evaluate magma mixing processes within the ERZ. Whole-rock, glass, and olivine compositions were determined, not only for lava from the 2011 eruption, but also for a new suite of Nāpau Crater area samples from the 1963, 1965, 1968, 1983, and 1997 eruptions, as well as the previously undocumented 1922 eruption. Whole-rock XRF data revealed two geochemically distinct magma batches for episode 59: one less evolved (∼6·6 wt % MgO, 0·46 wt % K2O) than the other (∼6·2 wt % MgO, 0·58 wt % K2O). Episode 59 lava is remarkably aphyric (∼0·1 vol. % phenocrysts), making use of mineralogy to identify parent magma affinities problematic. Linear compositional trends of whole-rock major and trace elements, and reversely zoned olivine crystals indicate episode 59 lavas underwent magma mixing. Least squares regression calculations and plots of major and trace element data, were used to evaluate whether the episode 59 samples are products of mixing summit-derived magma with residual magma from previous Nāpau Crater area eruptions. The regression results and trace element ratios are inconsistent with previously proposed mixing scenarios, but they do support mixing between summit-derived magma and residual magma from the 1983 and 1997 Nāpau Crater area eruptions. These magmas were stored in physically and chemically distinct pods at depths of 1·6–3·0 km prior to mixing with new magma intruded from the summit to produce the episode 59 lava. One pod contained a fractionated equivalent of 1983 lava, and the other a hybrid of compositions similar to 1983 and 1997 lavas. The petrology of episode 59 lava demonstrates that magmas from two previous eruptions (1983 and 1997) were available to mix with magma intruded from the summit region. This study clarifies the pre-eruptive history of the mixed episode 59 lava, and elucidates the evolution of the volcano's magmatic system in a region of frequent eruptions.

Con la vuelta de la democracia en Argentina en 1983, comienzan a circular discursosde lo más diversos que tenían como objeto de análisis las causas sociales y políticas quemotivaron el último golpe de Estado. Dentro de esta eclosión de objetos literarios, encontramos ficciones que indagan en el modelo de país que se aspiraría a construir y otras que anticipan el futuro de la nación a través de la lectura de los acontecimientos que sucedían en ese momento. Marco Denevi (1922-1998) en esta década incorpora a su particular modo de entender la literatura el rol determinante de la política. Después de haberse iniciado en el relato policial, creado minificciones, escrito piezas teatrales y novelas de gran mimetismo con la clase media argentina, en las obras publicadas en los 80 buscará encontrar las causas del fracaso de esa “anomalía histórica” que se dio en llamar Argentina, sobre todo en la predisposición sicológica y el carácter del porteño rioplatense.

Did Leibniz invent or, if you prefer, discover topology with his analysis situs? Yes, urge Nicholas Rescher (1978, p. 70), George MacDonald Ross (1984, p. 29) and Ian Hacking (1984, p. 213). No, urge Hans Freudenthal (1954/1972), Benson Mates (1986, p. 240) and Michael Otte (1989, p. 24). James Alexander (1932/1967, p. 249), drawing a distinction between point set and combinatorial methods, cautiously remarked that combinatorial topology “is more nearly a development of Leibniz's original idea.” Less cautiously, Morris Kline (1972, p. 1163) remarked that “to the extent that he was at all clear, Leibniz envisioned what we now call combinatorial topology.” Louis Couturat (1961, p. 429), Rudolf Carnap (1922, p. 81) and Ernst Cassirer (1950, p. 49) proposed projective geometry as the realization of Leibniz's project. Dennis Martin (1983, p. 5) sees topology as a development from analysis situs. Javier Echeverria (1988, p. 218), reporting on his archival research, argues that Leibniz “successfully introduced very general geometrical notions that boil down to what is known today as topology.” And a good many others, for and against, might be cited.

In 1998, changes in a number of indicators (earthquakes and uplift) at two of New Zealand's active volcanic caldera systems (Okataina and Taupo) resulted in increased public, local and central government awareness and some concern about the potential significance of volcanic unrest at a caldera volcano. This paper summarises the episodes of unrest recorded at Taupo caldera since 1895. There have been four significant events (1895, 1922, 1963-64 and 1983) that have included earthquake activity and ground deformation. Caldera unrest is one of the most difficult situations the volcanological and emergency management communities will have to deal with. There is potential for adverse social and economic impacts to escalate unnecessarily, unless the event is managed appropriately. Adverse response to caldera unrest may take the form of the release of inappropriate advice, media speculation, unwarranted emergency declarations and premature cessation of economic activity and community services. A non-volcanic-crisis time provides the best opportunity to develop an understanding of the caldera unrest phenomena, and the best time to establish educational programmes, funding systems for enhanced emergency response and volcano surveillance and to develop co-ordinated contingency plans.

Viene criticata la cornice teorica utilizzata da Griffin Hansbury (2017) nel trattamento del caso clinico da lui descritto. Nonostante la critica mossa al binarismo di genere, Hansbury di fatto amplia la teoria di Freud (1922, pp. 488-490) dell'«Io-corpo» introducendo un nuovo concetto binario, il «Vaginale con la V maiuscola» come «controparte simbolica del Fallico» [con la F maiuscola] (Hansbury, 2017 p. 20, p. 1010 ediz. orig.). Hansbury cerca di trascinare nel XXI secolo una teoria del XIX secolo radicata in presupposti antiquati riguardo alla identità di genere. Greenberg & Mitchell (1983, p. 61 trad. it.) chiamarono questo approccio teorico «strategia di accomodamento», per riferirsi ad autori che non mettono in discussione gli assunti di una determinata teoria ma la ampliano aggiungendo nuovi concetti. Viene discusso un esempio di strategia di accomodamento utilizzata nella riformulazione della teoria dell'omosessualità. A parte queste considerazioni, la capacità di Hansbury di accogliere le fantasie dei suoi pazienti su parti e funzioni sessuali del corpo crea uno spazio che permette di parlare anche di altri argomenti difficili. Facendo questo, mostra una mescolanza di tendenze sia conservatrici sia radicali nella teoria e nella clinica della psicoanalisi.

AbstractAugust–July precipitation has been reconstructed back to AD 1724 for the Mohe region in the northern Greater Higgnan Mountains, China, using Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica tree-ring width. The reconstruction explains 39% of the variance in the precipitation observed from AD 1960–2008. Some droughts noted in historical documents are precisely captured in our reconstruction. Wet periods occurred during the periods of AD 1734–1785, AD 1805–1830, AD 1863–1880, AD 1922–1961, and AD 1983–1998; while the periods of AD 1786–1804, AD 1831–1862, AD 1881–1921, and AD 1962–1982 were relatively dry. Power spectral and wavelet analyses demonstrated the existence of significant 24-yr, 12-yr, and 2-yr cycles of variability. The results of the spatial correlations suggest that our reconstruction contains climatic signals for the southern Stanovoy Range and the northern Greater Higgnan Mountains. The positive correlations between the new reconstructed precipitation series and two precipitation reconstructions indicate that our precipitation reconstruction captures broad-scale regional climatic variations. A comparison between the weakening tendency of summer monsoon and the dry period of our reconstruction reveals that the annual precipitation in the Mohe region is partly influenced by the East Asian Summer Monsoon.

Nos encontramos antes la reedición de un libro imprescindible para los estudiosos de las Ciencias de la Tierra. En este caso concreto se trata de la traducción al castellano de la edición de 1922 del clásico de Alfred Wegener Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane, la traducción es obra de Francisco Anguita Virella y Juan Carlos Herguera García.
 La edición que comentamos, tiene dos partes claramente diferenciadas, la traducción y el epílogo, debido también a Francisco Anguita Virella, fueron publicados en 1983 por la editorial Pirámide, por lo que son una mera reimpresión, que aunque era necesaria (debida a la dificultad para conseguir ejemplares de la citada edición), se echa a faltar una actualización al menos en el epílogo, que aunque sigue siendo fundamentalmente valido, desde su escritura hasta la fecha se han producido numerosos avances tanto en el campo de la geodinámica interna y tectónica de placas como en el conocimiento y análisis de la obra de Wegener.
 En conjunto, y a pesar de que una parte importante de la presente edición es una reimpresión, hay que dar la bienvenida a esa edición en castellano de la obra de Wegener, ya que pone al alcance de los estudiosos de las ciencias de la tierra y del público en general de un clásico de la ciencia, que todo el mundo debería de leer al menos una vez.

Pickard-Cambridge 1875, Ceratinopsis nigripalpis Emerton 1882, Eridantes utibilis Crosby & Bishop 1933, Pocadicnemis pumila (Blackwall 1841), Sciastes extremus Holm 1967, Scotinotylus vernalis (Emerton 1882), Thyreosthenius parasiticus (Westring 1851); Nesticidae: Nesticus cellulanus (Clerck 1757); Philodromidae: Philodromus histrio (Latreille 1819), Philodromus oneida Levi 1951; Salticidae: Pellenes montanus (Emerton 1894), Synageles canadensis Cutler 1988; Tetragnathidae: Tetragnatha guatemalensis O. Pickard-Cambridge 1889; Theridiidae: Achaearanea conjuncta (Gertsch & Mulaik 1936), Enoplognatha intrepida (Sørensen 1898), Euryopis gertschi Levi 1951, Pholcomma hirsutum Thorell 1869, Theridion impressum L. Koch 1881; Thomisidae: Xysticus fraternus Banks 1895, and Zodariidae: Zodarion rubidum Simon 1914. Collecting data, overview of distribution, and a diagnosis are provided for each added species. The spider fauna of Québec is discussed in light of these new records, and the value of such faunistic/taxonomic work is stressed.

Este artigo inter-relacionou as principais confluências existentes entre a perspectiva pioneira de Ramos ([1966] 1983) e a proposição do agir organizacional de Maggi (2006), pois, embora explorados em diferentes épocas, fundamentaram-se em consistentes e semelhantes referenciais. Sendo um ensaio teórico qualitativo, descritivo e bibliográfico, objetivou-se proporcionar um subsídio teórico elucidante das ricas contribuições dos estudos organizacionais, no que se refere às bases da gestão, para desvelar o processo de construção das capacidades dinâmicas pelos agentes sociais em seu agir organizacional. Para tanto, investigou-se a epistemologia de Weber ([1922] 1944) por ser utilizada como alicerce teórico em ambos osestudos. Percebeu-se que o ser humano é compreendido como um agente social dotado de competências elementares para a realização dos processos decisórios. Com uma análise comparativa das confluências conceituais dos estudos, desvelou-se que o agente social alicerça suas ações estratégicas por meio de sua racionalidade substancial, provida do exercício da ética responsável, manifesta em seu agir social dotado de sentido. Embora com uma cronologia de 40 anos entre os estudos, notam-se similaridades em suas conclusões ao se perceber que o agente social, por suas competências elementares empreendidas em seu agir, promove as capacidades dinâmicas nas organizações. Portanto, se a relevância desses estudos for devidamente explorada e interseccionada pode emergir contribuições efetivas tanto às bases teóricas quanto à prática da gestão estratégica.

Barnard (Barnard) Christian Nettling South African surgeon, performed the first successful heart transplant man, he was born in 1922 in Beaufort West in South Africa. In 1940 he graduated from school in 1946, the medical faculty of the University of Cape town. In 1953 he received the degree of doctor of medicine at the medical school of the University of Cape town. In 1956, he studied cardiac surgery in the US, where in 1958 he received the degree of doctor of medicine. After returning to South Africa K. Barnard was appointed cardiothoracic surgeon, and soon the head of surgical research, Department of cardiothoracic surgery at the clinic of the University of Cape town. In the October 1959 Christian Bernard is the first in Africa performed a successful kidney transplant. In 1962 he held the post of assistant Professor in the Department of surgery of the University of Cape town. December 3, 1967 K. Barnard and his colleagues have performed the first successful orthotopic transplantation of the human heart. In 1972 he was appointed Professor of surgical Sciences at the University of Cape town. In 1974 K. Barnard produced the world's first heterotopic heart transplant man. In 1981 he developed the patronage system of the heart by conducting hypothermic perfusion. In 1983, K. Barnard, resigned. He is the author of the autobiographical book "One life" (1970), published in co-authorship with Z. Stander anti-racist novel "Undesirable elements" (1974). Christian Barnard died on 2 September 2001, Paphos, Cyprus.

On April 2016, Ana Tostões interviewed Professor José-Augusto França, the Portuguese modern art researcher of reference on the contemporary era, in order to discuss the key modern structure that made the shift towards a Modern Lisbon.

A checklist of the 282 species of Arctiidae of North America north of Mexico is presented. The list reflects changes in taxonomy and additions to the fauna since publication of the Checklist of the Moths of America North of Mexico in 1983. Pagara Walker, 1856 and Neoplynes Hampson, 1900 are transferred from Lithosiinae to Arctiinae. Lectotypes are designated for Arctia incorrupta Henry Edwards, 1881, and Arctia incorrupta Henry Edwards, 1881. Two new combinations are proposed: Cisthene tenuifascia schwarziorum Dyar, 1899, and Trocodima fuscipes (Grote, 1883). Arachnis citra verna Barnes & McDunnough, 1918 is proposed as a revised status. “Afrida” exegens Dyar, 1922 is reported for North America for the first time, but its subfamily and generic placement are uncertain. Clemensia patella (Druce, 1885) is raised from synonymy with Clemensia albata Packard, 1864. Seventeen taxa are designated as new or revised synonyms: Arctia oithona Strecker, 1878 (= Grammia phyllira (Drury, 1773)); Arctia rectilinea French, 1879 (= Grammia phyllira (Drury, 1773)); Arctia conspicua Stretch, 1906 (= Grammia phyllira (Drury, 1773)); Arctia quadranotata Strecker, 1880 (= Grammia f-pallida (Strecker, 1878)); Apantesis sociata Barnes & McDunnough, 1910 (= Grammia f-pallida Strecker, 1878); Apantesis moierra Dyar, 1914 (= Grammia f-pallida (Strecker, 1878)); Apantesis mormonica Neumoegen, 1885 (= Notarctia arizoniensis (Stretch)); Arctia caja parva Rothschild, 1910 (= Arctia opulenta (Henry Edwards, 1881)); Kodiosoma otero Barnes, 1907 (= Kodiosoma fulva Stretch, 1872); Estigmene arizonensis Rothschild, 1910 (= Estigmene albida Stretch, 1874); Ecpantheria denudata Slosson, 1888 (= Hypercompe scribonia (Stoll, [1790])); Arachnis hampsoni Dyar, 1903 (= Arachnis picta maia Ottolengui, 1896); Arachnis midas Barnes & Lindsey, 1921 (= Arachnis citra verna Barnes & McDunnough, 1918); Arachnis apachea Clarke, 1941 (= Arachnis citra verna Barnes & McDunnough, 1918); Euchaetes pudens (Henry Edwards, 1882) (= Cycnia collaris (Fitch, 1856)); Arctia sciurus Boisduval, 1869 (= Cycnia tenera Hübner, 1827); Pygarctia albistrigata Barnes & McDunnough, 1913 (= Pygarctia pterygostigma Dyar, 1909); and Microdota hemiceras Forbes, 1931 (= Trocodima fuscipes (Grote, 1883)). Halysidota underwoodi Rothschild and H. fuliginosa Rothschild are removed from the North American list because their inclusion was based on

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is an immune complex mediated hypersensitivity complex that typically involves the skin and mucous membranes. While minor presentations may occur, significant involvement of oral, nasal, eye, vaginal, urethral, gastrointestinal, and lower respiratory mucous membranes may develop in the course of the illness. GI and respiratory involvement may progress to necrosis. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a serious systemic disorder with the potential for severe morbidity and even death. The syndrome was first described in 1922, when the American pediatricians Albert Mason Stevens and Frank Chambliss Johnson reported the cases of 2 boys aged 7 and 8 years with "an extraordinary, generalized eruption with continued fever, inflamed buccal mucosa, and severe purulent conjunctivitis". Both cases had been misdiagnosed by primary care physicians as hemorrhagic measles. Erythema multiforme (EM), originally described by Von Hebra in 1866, was part of the differential diagnosis in both cases but was excluded because of the 'character of skin lesions, the lack of subjective symptoms, the prolonged high fever, and the terminal heavy crusting". Despite the presence of leucopenia in both cases, Stevens and Johnson in their initial report suspected an infectious disease of unknown etiology as the cause. In 1950, Thomas divided EM into 2 catagories: erythema multiforme minor (Von Hebra) and Erythema multiforme major (EMM). Since 1983, erythema multiforme major and Stevens-Johnson syndrome had been considered synonymous. In the 1990s, however, Bastuji and Roujeau each proposed that Erythema multiforme major and Stevens-Johnson syndrome are 2 distinct disorders. Several investigators propose that Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) represent the same disease at different levels of severity. Although several classification schemes have been reported, the simplest breaks the disease down as follows: * Stevens-Johnson syndrome-A "minor form of TEN", with less than 10% body surface area (BSA) detachment. * Overlapping Stevens-Johnson syndrome/Toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN)-Detachment of 10-30% BSA. * Toxic epidermal necrolysis-Detachment of more than 30%BSA.KYAMC Journal Vol. 8, No.-2, Jan 2018, Page 31-35

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation headquarters and museum complex (1959–1969) headed a fundamental role in building science in Portugal, as it contributed to the accomplishment of a Modern Movement design committed with a high level of construction quality, showing that there was more beyond Modern Movement formalism. Inaugurated in 1969, it was designed to create a pleasant environment, providing prospects from inside at various angles to the grove of trees and the surrounding land. As a mega-structure designed under a multi-disciplinary design and construction team it achieved a high level of technical excellence and comfort, whilst beautifully linking the building and garden. Located in central Lisbon, within a park with an area of 7.5 ha, occupying an area of 25.000 m2, it was designed by the architects Alberto Pessoa (1919–1985), Pedro Cid (1925–1983) and Ruy Jevis d’Athouguia (1917–2006) with the collaboration of the landscape designers Ribeiro Barreto (1924–2013) and Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles (1922–). The construction gathered an international interdisciplinary team of specialists. The most up-to-date techniques were adopted, including reinforced and pre-stressed concrete in its construction. Some figures illustrate the volume of these buildings: 150,000 m3 of excavation, 45,000 m3 of concrete, 3,200 t of steel, 100 km of power cables, 50,000 m of air conditioning pipes and 3,500 kW of installed electrical capacity. The architectural design expresses the structure. The aim of having a dominant horizontal line that guaranteed the image of a low building hugging the land and the wish to emphasize the long slabs of concrete that constituted the visible image of the built complex called for a very creative structural concept. The impact that the complex has had and the way in which it has manifested the effectiveness of its qualities, such as formal sobriety and restraint, have confirmed the close relationship between the conception process and the construction site. With its garden it has created the very image of the prestige and innovation of the Foundation itself.

Abyssal polychaetes are usually difficult to be identified because they are small, their body patterns differ from their shallow water relatives, their delicate bodies are often damaged during sampling and sieving, and their taxonomy is in need of revision. Members of the family Fauveliopsidae Hartman, 1971 are widespread in deep ocean basins and they follow the above statements. In this contribution, we present a revision of all available type and non-type material for the family. Our objective is to provide keys to identify genera and species, as well as standardized diagnoses, and illustrations for most species, excluding those described since 2011, or where type material was not available. One genus, Riseriopsis n. gen., is proposed and four species are newly described. The Fauveliopsidae now includes 24 species in three genera: Fauveliopsis McIntosh, 1922 (13 species), Laubieriopsis Petersen, 2000 (8 species), and Riseriopsis n. gen. (3 species). Fauveliopsis includes species usually living inside gastropod or scaphopod shells or foraminiferan tubes, Laubieriopsis and Riseriopsis include species commonly regarded as free living, although some species of the latter have very long bodies and have been found inside soft tubes. Fauveliopsis includes: F. adriatica Katzmann & Laubier, 1974, F. armata Fauchald & Hancock, 1981, F. brattegardi Fauchald, 1972a, F. brevipodus Hartman, 1971, F. challengeriae McIntosh, 1922, F. glabra (Hartman in Hartman & Barnard, 1960), F. jameoaquensis Núñez in Núñez, Ocaña & Brito, 1997, F. levensteinae n. sp., F. magalhaesi n. sp., F. magna Fauchald & Hancock, 1981, F. olgae Hartmann-Schröder, 1983, F. rugosa Fauchald, 1972b, and F. scabra Hartman & Fauchald, 1971. Laubieriopsis includes: L. arenicola (Riser, 1987), L. blakei n. sp., L. brevis (Hartman, 1965), L. cabiochi (Amoureux, 1982), L. fauchaldi (Katzmann & Laubier, 1974) n. comb., L. hartmanae (Levenstein, 1970) reinst., L. norvegica Zhadan & Atroshchenko, 2012, and L. petersenae Magalhães, Bailey-Brock & Rizzo, 2014. Riseriopsis includes: R. arabica (Hartman, 1976) n. comb., R. confusa (Thiel, Purschke & Böggemann, 2011) n. comb., and R. santosae n. sp. Keywords. Deep-sea species, taxonomy, genital papillae, genera, species Introduction The family-group name Fauveliopsidae was established by Hartman (1971) and derived from Fauveliopsis McIntosh, 1922. The genus-group name was dedicated to Pierre Fauvel, famous French polychaetologist, and the type species, F. challengeriae McIntosh, 1922, was described based on specimens collected during the HMS Challenger expedition. The phylogenetic affinities of fauveliopsids are unsettled in part due to the fact that only a few species have been included in past analyses; after the analysis of morphological and molecular characters (Zrzavý et al. 2009, figure 6), Fauveliopsidae groups with Cossuridae and Paraonidae, as a sister group to what has been regarded as Cirratuliformia (Cirratulidae, Acrocirridae, Flabelligeridae). This family includes benthic species that are rarely abundant, and they tend to prefer silty bottoms. Most species have been described from deep-sea locations including trenchs (Menzies & George 1967); however, a few shallow water species were described from the Canary Islands (5 m), New Zealand (20 m), and the Adriatic Sea (60 m). Members of the family are free living or find shelter in tubes of cemented silt grains (Blake & Petersen 2000, Petersen 2000); they can also be found inside scaphopod, or gastropod mollusk shells, or inside tubular foraminiferans (Bathysiphon Sars, 1872). It should be noted, however, that typical Bathysiphon tests include sponge spicules, and that Psammosiphonella Avnimelech, 1952 was proposed for those agglutinated foraminiferans whose tests do not include sponge spicules; this latter genus has been regarded as distinct (Rögl 1995; Kaminski 2004; Kaminski et al. 2009). This is relevant because at least in some cases, as we show below, fauveliopsid tubes have a complex organization, such that other interpretations might be involved. Another interesting issue is that Małecki (1973) regarded these foraminiferan tests (Bathysiphon and Psammosiphonella) as polychaete tubes, because they lack the characteristic basal embryonic chamber, proloculus, which define foraminiferans. This idea was not followed and the above genera are still regarded as foraminiferans (Kaminski 2004). Fauveliopsid bodies are subcylindrical, wider medially, or club-shaped; in the latter, the anterior region is the narrower one. Parapodia are displaced dorsally with notopodia being clearly dorsolateral, whereas neuropodia are lateral and chaetae are directed anteriorly, usually along anterior region, and it is related to free living species. The combination of a usually posterior wider region and the parapodial disposition, together with the presence of some anal papillae has made it difficult to assess body polarity and for some descriptions the body ends were incorrectly characterized (Laubier 1972:698; Hartman 1976:236, Fig. 12a). There are four morphological traits of typical polychaete body patterns that can explain this difficulty: 1) anterior region is wider than the rest of the body; 2) segments are less clear cut anteriorly; 3) chaetal bundles are displaced to the anterior border of each chaetiger, being displaced to the median region and eventually towards the posterior region in median to posterior chaetigers; and 4) chaetae are directed anteriorly in a few anterior chaetigers, and towards the posterior region in the rest of the body. Surprisingly, these patterns are reversed among fauveliopsids because many have evolved to live within tubes, bending their bodies obliquely or ventrally, and by directing their chaetal bundles anteriorly (originally noticed by McIntosh 1922:6). These modifications could provide better anchoring for chaetae and parapodia. Inside gastropod shells, there are different conditions for what lies dorsally or ventrally; this might have selected for body modifications. For example, parapodia become dorsally displaced and this would enlarge ventral and lateral surface areas to be in close contact with the shell. Katzmann & Laubier (1974:10, Fig. 3C) showed that in some fauveliopsids the narrower region is exposed through the shell aperture. Blake & Petersen (2000) clarified the body end confusion, standardized concepts about morphological features, and redescribed some species. However, earlier descriptions deserve re-evaluation because of a potential confusion of body ends. Riser (1987) provided some histological details and indicated that stomach contents consisted of foraminiferans and silt, whereas Purschke (1997) made SEM illustrations of nuchal organs. Hartman (1971:1411) proposed Fauveliopsidae to include four genera that she regarded as flabelligerid-like: Bruunilla Hartman, 1971, Fauveliopsis, Flabelligella Hartman, 1965, and Flota Hartman, 1967. In a subsequent publication, Hartman (1974:199, 235) apparently changed her perspective and transferred Fauveliopsis to the Flabelligeridae; however, in a posthumous publication (Hartman 1978:175) she used the family as originally proposed. The composition of the Fauveliopsidae has been modified over the years, with Orensanz (1974) transferring Flabelligella to Acrocirridae, Pettibone (1979) indicating that Bruunilla belongs in Polynoidae, and Buzhinskaja (1996) proposing an independent family for Flota. For the latter genus group name, Salazar-Vallejo & Zhadan (2007) regarded it as a junior synonym of Buskiella McIntosh, 1885. The family was thus restricted to Fauveliopsis but it now also includes Laubieriopsis Petersen, 2000 and Riseriopsis n. gen. Three major publications have addressed identification problems in Fauveliopsis. Katzmann & Laubier (1974) prepared a key to species based upon the number of chaetigers, integument features and type of chaetae throughout body. Amoureux (1982) compiled the known species and pointed out their number of chaetigers. Hartmann-Schröder (1983) had a different approach and relied more on chaetal patterns than on number of chaetigers. Because body ends were confused in some of the original descriptions, the species deserve reinterpretation. In order to standardize the morphological features, the diagnoses below combine these approaches and additional observations based upon specimens with some remarks about the match between previous descriptions and these standardized diagnoses, as made elsewhere for tropical American species (Salazar-Vallejo 2009). In this contribution, we have dealt with all material available of fauveliopsid genera and species. We propose a new genus, Riseriopsis n. gen., to include two species of Fauveliopsis provided with long, posteriorly swollen bodies, with long segments along median region, and two known species are newly combined. Further, four species are newly described, and another one, Laubieriopsis hartmanae (Levenstein, 1970), is redescribed and reinstated.

The Acridinae of eastern Africa are reviewed and recognized as comprising 42 core genera, belonging to five different tribes, together withXerophlaeobaandDorsthippus, which are unclassified but appear to be related to some extra-limital genera.

The article focuses on two books of the poet, essayist, cultural historian Andrejs Johansons (1922–1983), contemplations and reminiscences “Rīgas svārki mugurā” (‘Dressed in Riga suit’, 1966) and “Visi Rīgas nami skan” (‘All the Houses of Riga are Ringing’, 1970). On the one hand, they include a very personal (biographical) layer of memory, and, on the other, they can also be viewed in the context of collective memory, as they are associated with the memories of many refugees of the World War II – about the lost Latvia, Riga and home. In May 1945, Johansons, leaving Kurzeme and Liepāja by one of the last refugee boats, also took with him the memories that were later recounted in the two books. The sense of belonging to a place is important for the author; this feeling is symbolically reflected in the titles of both books. But this belonging to a place becomes more capacious – it includes events, memories and a certain time of life. While writing these books, Johansons was able to return to Riga to see it with the eyes of his youth. In both books, Johansons has marked (almost topographically marked on the map) places where he had lived and walked, and studied, enriching these places with a broader context. On the one hand, they are youth memories, and on the other, they are the unfulfilled craving and lost paradise of a long-lived, wise and educated exile. The significant value of both books is the wide cultural and historical background, historical digressions, thorough source studies and research, and a panoramic view of Riga, the capital of Latvia. The memory and reflection books about Riga by Johansons are changing, and because of this changing character, they are more than just memories. They are rich cultural, historical, and personal sketches. They make it possible to feel and even visually see Riga of the late 20s to early 40s of the 20th century. These books can inspire a 21st-century reader, a resident of Riga; they can stimulate to explore and find out about the city through its historical changes. The two books have become encyclopaedic editions that vividly and amply reveal the time, era, historical and cultural context, personalities and their destinies. Johansons’s books about Riga encourage us to look at the image of Riga in the literary works and memories of other writers, gaining a more colourful view.

Neoaratus Ricardo is redefined and considered as monotypic. Six new genera, Abrophila, Colepia, Dolopus, Mauropteron, Reburrus and Zosteria, are erected to accommodate 19 species previously placed in Neoaratus as well as 39 new species described below. The following are proposed as new synonyms: Asilus grandis Macquart, 1848 = A. rufiventris Macquart, 1838; Asilus leon Walker, 1849 = A. rubrithorax Macquart, 1838; Mochtherus lautus van der Wulp, 1872 = A. biligata Walker, 1864; Asilus ferrugineiventris Macquart, 1850 = A. fulvipubescens Macquart, 1850. Asilus grandis Macquart is removed from synonymy with Neoaratus hercules (Wiedemann) and proposed as a synonym of A. rufiventris Macquart, 1838. Abrophila whitei is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied Asilus aureus White, 1918. The following are new combinations: Colepia abludo (Daniels, 1983), C. ingloria (Macleay, 1826), C. malleola (Walker, 1849), C. rufiventris (Macquart, 1838); Dolopus genitalis (Hardy, 1920), D. rubrithorax (Macquart, 1838); Mauropteron pelago (Walker, 1849); Reburrus bancrofti (Hardy, 1935), R. kochi (de Meijere, 1913), R. macquarti (Bigot, 1860), R. wieneckii (van der Wulp, 1872); Zosteria alcetas (Walker, 1849), Z. biligata (Walker, 1864); Z. fulvipubescens (Macquart, 1850), Z. iflingworthi (Hardy, 1922), Z. murina (Macquart, 1838), Z. rosevillensis (Hardy, 1935), Z. sydneensis (Macquart, 1838). The following new species are described: Colepia chrysochaites, C. comatacauda, C. compernis, C. cultripes, C. flavifacies, C. horrida, C. ignicolor, C. lanata, C. naevia, C. novaeguineae; Dolopus mirus, D. silvestris, D. simulans; Mauropteron farinum; Reburrus aquilonius, R. caledonicae, R. peninsularis; Zosteria affinis, Z. alpina, Z. caesariata, Z. calignea, Z, claudiana, Z. clausum, Z. clivosa, Z. eastwoodi, Z. hispida, Z. lineata, Z. longiceps, Z. montana, Z, nigrifemorata, Z. novazealandica, Z. punicea, Z. queenslandi, Z. rubens, Z. ruspata, Z. suda, Z. varia and Z. venato. All seven genera occur in Australia. Species of three genera, Colepia, Reburrus and Zosteria, also occur elsewhere, as follows: Timor (R. wieneckii], New Guinea (C. novaeguineae, R. kocki, Z. biligata and Z. illingworthi), New Caledonia and New Hebrides (R. caledonicae and R. macquarti], and New Zealand (Z. novazealandica). Z. illingworthi is common to Australia and New Guinea. The female reproductive system and the components of the male terminalia are illustrated and briefly described for most species. Pupal exuviae of C. ingloria, C. malleola, C, rufiventris, N. hercules, Z. fulvipubescens and Z. sydneensis are illustrated and/or described. Keys to the genera of Australian Asilini and the species of the new genera are given. Lectotypes are designated for Antipalus wieneckii, Asilus ferrugineiventris, A. leon, A. murinus, A. pelago, A. rufiventris, Neoaratus bancrofti and N. rosevillensis. Asilus regius Jaennicke and Asilus tasmaniae Macquart, formerly considered as species of Neoaratus, are not treated because their status is uncertain.

Professor William Wilton Douglas was an outstanding scientist, known particularly for his seminal work on elucidating the mechanisms underlying secretion within the endocrine system. In 1967 he became the first recipient of the John Gaddum Memorial Award from the British Pharmacological Society. The second such award was given in 1968 to J.R. (later Sir John) Vane (F.R.S. 1974) who, at the time of a memorial celebration of Douglas's life in 1998, remarked that: ‘We had a running joke about him being number one and me number two’. In 1975 Douglas received the Harry van Dyke Memorial Award from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1983 he was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society. In honouring him, the Society specifically cited his seminal contributions to our knowledge of the physiology and pharmacology of the endocrine systems. He was a man of great insight and splendid humour and will be missed by all who knew him.

Ken Cavill knew from his high school years that his career lay in science. Whilst completing his Bachelor of Science at the University of Sydney he chose to focus on organic chemistry and made his academic career in that field. Ken gained his PhD at Liverpool University in England in 1949 and was awarded a DSc from that university in 1957. He was employed during World War 2 at W. Hermon Slade & Co., and then as a lecturer in chemistry at Sydney Technical College, becoming a senior lecturer at the newly formed University of New South Wales (UNSW), where he had a distinguished career in research and teaching until his retirement in 1982. He received the first personal chair awarded by the university in 1964 and was made a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1969. He was made an emeritus professor by UNSW in 1983. He actively pursued collaboration between chemistry and biology, and pioneered studies in Australia on the chemistry of insect venoms, attractants and repellents, leaving a legacy of a well-respected body of work in this field. Ken was awarded a Centenary of Federation Medal in 2001 for his service to Australian society and science in the field of organic biological chemistry. Pursuing his love of Australiana, he devoted his retirement to researching and writing about Australian silverware and jewellery manufacturers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

A long tradition of separate Nearctic and Palaearctic taxonomic studies of the diverse aleocharine rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) has obscured the recognition of Holarctic species and detection of adventive species in both regions. Recently, integrated study of the two regions through detailed morphological comparisons and development of an authoritatively identified DNA barcode reference library has revealed the degree to which these two aleocharine faunas are interconnected, both naturally and through human activity. Here this approach is adopted to recognize new species, reveal Holarctic species, and recognize adventive species in both North America and Europe. The following new species are described: Isoglossa triangularis Klimaszewski, Brunke & Pentinsaari, sp. nov. from British Columbia; Gnypeta impressicollis Klimaszewski, Brunke & Pentinsaari, sp. nov., from Ontario, Maryland and North Carolina; Aloconota pseudogregaria Klimaszewski, Brunke & Pentinsaari, sp. nov., from Ontario and Virginia; and Philhygra pseudolaevicollis Klimaszewski, Brunke & Pentinsaari, sp. nov. from eastern Canada. Dasygnypeta velata and Philhygra angusticauda are revealed to be Holarctic species, resulting in the following synonymies: Dasygnypeta velata (Erichson, 1839) = Gnypeta minuta Klimaszewski & Webster, 2008, syn. nov. and Philhygra angusticauda (Bernhauer, 1909) = Atheta (Philhygra) pinegensis Muona, 1983, syn. nov. The Nearctic species Hylota ochracea (and genus Hylota), Thecturota tenuissima, and Trichiusa robustula are newly reported from the Palaearctic region as adventive, resulting in the following synonymies: Hylota ochracea Casey, 1906 = Stichoglossa (Dexiogyia) forticornis Strand, 1939, syn. nov.; Thecturota tenuissima Casey, 1893 = Atheta marchii Dodero, 1922, syn. nov.; and Trichiusa robustula Casey, 1893 = T. immigrata Lohse, 1984, syn. nov. The Palaearctic species Amarochara forticornis, Anomognathus cuspidatus, Oligota pumilio, and Parocyusa rubicunda are newly confirmed from the Nearctic region as adventive, resulting in the following synonymies: Parocyusa rubicunda (Erichson, 1837) = Chilopora americana Casey, 1906, syn. nov. and Anomognathus cuspidatus (Erichson, 1839) = Thectura americana Casey, 1893, syn. nov. The genus Dasygnypeta, sensu nov. is newly reported from North America, Paradilacra is newly reported from eastern North America, and Haploglossa is newly reported from Canada, resulting in the following synonymy: Paradilacra densissima (Bernhauer, 1909) = Gnypeta saccharina Klimaszewski & Webster, 2008, syn. nov. Native Cyphea wallisi is newly reported from across Canada and C. curtula is removed from the Nearctic fauna. The status of both Gyrophaena affinis and Homalota plana is uncertain but these species are no longer considered to be adventive in North America. Three new combinations are proposed: Dasygnypeta baranowskii (Klimaszewski, 2020) and D. nigrella (LeConte, 1863) (both from Gnypeta) and Mocyta scopula (Casey, 1893) (from Acrotona). Dolosota Casey, 1910, syn. nov. (type species Eurypronota scopula Casey), currently a subgenus of Acrotona, is therefore synonymized with Mocyta Mulsant & Rey, 1874. Additionally, four new Canadian records and 18 new provincial and state records are reported.

The development of the Arctic is associated with many names of famous polar explorers. The people of legend are all part of the collective memory of the Arctic. Roald Amudsen himself has won worldwide fame for his daring expeditions and discoveries. The entire scientific and cultural world admired his achievements in the conquest of the Arctic and Antarctic. In the mass consciousness, his name was overgrown with legends and myths, as well as the names of their travel companions. The authors, abandoning the well-established versions of these events, turn their eye to the evidence of that era — the reports and reports of N. A. They are trying to build their own interpretation of what happened during these years at Dikson, to Begichev, records about the course of the expedition’s searches, unpublished articles and eyewitness accounts, and expertise from 19201983 deposited in the funds of the Russian State Archives of Economics. Documents and materials indicate that the remains of a Norwegian sailor, found in 1922 by the expedition of Urvantsev-Begichev, belonged to Peter Tessem, who was able to overcome the most difficult route from Cape Chelyuskin to Dikson and died tragically several kilometers from the purpose of his campaign. However, the body of the second sailor was never found, and the version of his death in Mikhailova Bay was not seriously substantiated. Attracting new information from documents on search expeditions is also important to maintain the establishment of the truth about the death of polar explorers. This aspect is part of the cultural memory of the northerners. The documents testify to the voluntary assistance provided by the residents of Taimyr — both Russian and indigenous inhabitants of the tundra.

RESUMENLos balnearios-sauna castreños del noroeste peninsular son monumentos con horno con una arquitectura muy original, posiblemente asociada a los diversos modelos termales. Se conocen cerca de tres decenas, distribuidos por el noroeste peninsular. La arquitectura compleja de estos monumentos se organiza estructuralmente hacia posibilitar baños de sauna y baños de agua fría. Las dos áreas son divididas por una estela, monolítica, normalmente ornamentada – la pedra formosa. El papel simbólico que tendrían en el seno de la sociedad castreña de la Edad del Hierro del noroeste peninsular permanece por aclarar y envuelto en gran misticismo, fruto de una posible sacralidad. Este entorno, referido por diversos autores a lo largo de los tiempos, está posiblemente asociado al culto de los dioses de las aguas y a la sacralidad del baño purificador, medicinal, que se refleja en las decoraciones frontales de las pedras formosas, cuya maestría de los escultores que las insculpieran, tipología decorativa, interpretación simbólica y semiótica estudiamos, como objetivos primordiales, a lo largo de este trabajo de investigación.PALABRAS CLAVE: Protohistoria, monumentos con horno, decoración pétrea, interpretación simbólica / semiótica.ABSTRACTThe Iron Age sauna-baths of the northwest peninsular are monuments with an oven with very original architecture, possibly associated with the diverse thermal models. There are about three dozen known sauna-baths spread over the northwest peninsular. The complex architecture of thesemonuments is structurally organized to allow for cold water baths and sauna baths. The two areas are divided by a tectiforme stele, monolithic, usually ornamented, known as pedra formosa (beautiful stone). The symbolic role that they would have had in the heart of the Iron Age “castreña” society in the northwest peninsular remains unclear and shrouded in mysticism, the fruit of a possible sacredness. This environment, referred to by various authors throughout the ages, is possibly associated with the worship of the water gods and the sacredness of the medicinal and purifying bath, which is reflected in the frontal decorations of the pedras formosas, whose masterful sculpting, decorative typology, symbolic interpretation and semiotics we studied as primary objectives of this research work.KEYWORDS: Protohistory, monuments with oven, stone decoration, symbolic / semiotic interpretation.

Protected Areas (PAs) are key to avoiding habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. Most research conducted in PAs has focused on the geological, biological or ecological aspects of sites, while few studies have examined the policymaking process. However, PA designation might reflect the political history of a country regarding environmental protection and whether PA designation is based on a strong conservation commitment or is instead propaganda yielding ‘paper parks’. Argentina, the first Latin American nation to set land aside to protect it, provides a case study of the process of constructing a PA system, and certain elements apply to other developing countries. Its first national park was created in 1922, and the first law concerning PAs was promulgated in 1934. Since then, a succession of democratic governments interrupted by military regimes has modified parks and promulgated laws changing conservation priorities. The conservation goal of PAs was not always manifest in government policies. Despite the number of PAs (48 by 2019) and area covered (14,718,420 hectares total by 2019), most of these lands face the same challenges as PAs in many other developing nations, including limited budgets, lack of field staff, absence of strategic planning, insufficient political support and corruption. Since the return to democracy in 1983, new laws have been enacted based on experience gathered in other nations. However, existence of a law does not guarantee its enforcement. Environmental NGOs, the scientific community and a growing concerned citizenry nowadays constitute the most important forces supporting the conservation function of PAs and environmental conservation in general in Argentina.
