Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Globally, HBV is the most common blood-borne infection. An estimated 1.2 million people in the US and 350 million worldwide lived with HBV, a primary driver of liver cancer. It is endemic in many parts of the world and is a major health disparity in immigrant communities, including the US, which has the largest immigrant population in the world. Asian American Pacific Islanders are 5% of the total population in the US, but represent 50% of people living with HBV. In 2016, WHO set a goal of hepatitis elimination by 2030 but with only 10% of those living with HBV diagnosed, screening must be scaled up. Methods Modifications were made in the electronic medical record (EMR) to automate screening, with HBV (HBsAg) orders triggered by a patient’s country of birth or race. The began in the Emergency Department and later expanded to the Inpatient setting. Automated notifications are sent to nurse for eligible patients and then to the patient navigator (PN) for positive tests. The PN contacts the patient to provide education and arrange linkage-to-care (LTC) for evaluation and care. Results From Mar 2018 to Mar 2021, we conducted 23,883 HBV screenings. The patients originated from 173 countries based on registration; top 5 countries of origin were Haiti, Jamaica, Ecuador, Guyana, and Portugal. We found 228 (1.0%) patients with HBV infection, 101 (47%) were newly diagnosed and 182 (85%) were linked to care. We examined race and insurance status for any association with those previously tested versus newly diagnosed. Blacks were more likely to be newly identified HBV versus Asians (61.6% vs. 28.9%, p< .001), as were self-pay (uninsured) versus insured patients (66.7% vs 47.2%, p=0.043). Compared to the approximately 0.4% HBV prevalence in the US, the HBV prevalence in several towns around our hospital in Essex County is two to four times higher. Table 1. The HBV Prevalence in Towns of Essex County Conclusion Our community is diverse and social determinants of health, like race and insurance status, may contribute to provider behaviors of HBV screening with blacks receiving less screening than Asians. Automated testing programs can address health disparities and scale up screening. Such micro-elimination approaches are important for achieving global hepatitis elimination by 2030.

Full textAbstract:
We conducted a study of black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) growth rates using data from a long-term mark-recapture study carried out in the Rupununi region of Guyana between 2005 and 2015. In contrast to previous studies, growth rates of black caiman declined with increasing size and this decline occurred more rapidly for females. Size-at-age models predicted that males and females reach asymptotic sizes of 178.2-189.0 cm SVL and 140.1-143.4 cm SVL, respectively. Our results suggest that growth rates of black caiman in the Rupununi region follow the same general patterns as for other crocodilians, and that disparities with previous black caiman studies may be largely related to density-dependent factors, among other possibilities. However, future studies that include large black caiman of known ages are needed to validate our findings.

Full textAbstract:
Anomaloglossus praderioi was originally described as Colostethus praderioi by E. La Marca in 1998 on the basis of two male specimens. The present paper provides a redescription of the species on the basis of new material from Maringma Tepui in Guyana and an additional specimen from Sierra de Lema in Venezuela. The redescription includes descriptions of the tadpole and vocalisation. Anomaloglossus praderioi is a medium-sized species mainly distinguished from its known congeners in having Fingers I, II and IV equal in length, the tip of Finger IV barely reaching the base of the distal subarticular tubercle on Finger III when fingers are adpressed, Fingers II and III with preaxial keel-like lateral folds, toes basally webbed with folded flaplike fringing except on Toes IV-V, symmetrical cloacal tubercles present, thin pale dorsolateral stripe present from tip of snout to tip of urostyle, ventrolateral stripe inconspicuous, never straight, oblique lateral stripe absent, throat in male grey to very dark grey, almost solid black, with black blotches, throat in female bright orange, almost immaculate. The tadpole is dark brown to black, exotrophic, benthic, LTRF 2(2)/3. The advertisement call consists of long trains of a single note repeated at a rate of 61-76 notes/min with a dominant frequency ranging from 3,562 to 3,856 Hz. The species is reported from eastern Venezuela and western Guyana and inhabits montane medium-canopy forest at elevations between 1,310-1,950 m above sea level.

Full textAbstract:
Peckoltia cavatica is described as a new species and P. braueri is redescribed. Peckoltia cavatica and P. braueri differ from all other Peckoltia by having distal orange bands on the dorsal and caudal fins when alive and by having the plates and bones of the head and nape outlined in black. Peckoltia cavatica is found in the Essequibo River basin, and P. braueri is found in the Takutu River basin. The species differ in that P. cavatica has weaker dorsal saddles, the plates and bones of the head and nape are completely outlined in black (vs. partially outlined in P. braueri), lacks vermiculate lines on the pterotic-supracleithrum, lacks at least one, broken band in the caudal fin, and has wider orange bands.

Full textAbstract:
Harttia merevari, a new species of loricariid catfish, is described from eight specimens captured in the upper Caura River, Orinoco River basin, Venezuela. The new species is recognized by the following combination of characters: abdomen naked; two or three preanal plates; a bony plate before each branchial opening; seven lateral plates between the pectoral and pelvic fins; maxillary barbel short and attached to the oral disk by a fleshy fold; head dorsal surface and anterior portion of the body light or dark yellow with numerous, round black spots; posterior region of the body light or dark yellow with five black transverse bands, dorsal central area of the two anterior bands diffused. The discovery of this new species extends the distribution of the genus northwest to include the Orinoco River basin on the northern slope of the Guyana shield.

The new species is distinguished from congeneric species by cryptic colouration, very small size, first finger longer than second, third finger not distinctly swollen in males, absence of lateral fringes on fingers and toes, complete lateral black band present, diffuse pale dorsolateral stripe present, diffuse, pale, partial oblique lateral stripe present, pale ventrolateral stripe present, throat in adult males pale, and unique advertisement call and reproductive behaviour. The new species occasionally deposits tadpoles in leptodactylid foam nests, which constitutes the first case of interspecific brood parasitism in frogs.

Full textAbstract:
A new species of Arthrosaura (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) is described based on a female specimen obtained at 2112 m above sea level on Mount Maringma, a poorly known sandstone flat-topped table mountain (tepui) located in the eastern Pakaraima Mountains, at the Guyana-Brazil border. Arthrosaura hoogmoedi sp. nov. is mainly distinguished from its known congeners by the following combination of characters: four supraoculars, prefrontals in contact with loreals, lower eyelid opaque, 32–33 smooth temporal scales, middorsal scales distinctly narrower than adjacent dorsal scales, and a dark brown dorsum with a black middorsal stripe from nape to tail, and a tan ill-defined dorsolateral line from nape to midbody.

A new species, Rivulus sape, is described from two tributaries of the upper Paragua River, Caroní River drainage, of the Guyana Shield in Venezuela. It is a small (all specimens examined less than 50 mm SL), apparently non-annual species that is distinguished from congeners in having the dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins short; adult males with a truncate caudal fin with the upper and lower borders black; and an iridescent blue, ovate spot on sides of the body above the pectoral fins. Neither adults nor juveniles have an ocellus at the dorsal junction of the caudal peduncle and caudal fin. Only one contact organ per scale on some scales along the sides of the body was observed.

Les petits ruminants représentent 57000 têtes en Martinique, 30000 en Guadeloupe et un millier en Guyane, répartis en unités inférieures, en moyenne, à 10 têtes par exploitation. Les ovins sont les mieux représentés en Martinique alors qu'ils sont numériquement équivalents aux caprins dans les dépendances de Guadeloupe et en Guyane. Ils sont de races rustiques, prolifiques et bien adaptées au milieu : Créole, Black-Belly et St Martin. Les caprins, de race Créole dominent largement en Guadeloupe où ils bénéficient d'une bonne image de marque auprès des consommateurs et où, à la différence des ovins en Martinique, ils sont peu concurrencés par les importations de viande congelée. L'élevage, mené le plus souvent selon un mode traditionnel par des exploitants pluriactifs disposant de petites surfaces, et réticents à l'introduction d'innovations techniques, doit cependant pouvoir s'adapter aux nouvelles contraintes du marché et bénéficier de l'essor touristique et économique de ces départements d'outre mer.

Full textAbstract:
Foliar endophytic fungi spend a part of their life cycle on the leaves of plants. They may demonstrate no apparent symptoms but may also cause disease at a later time in the plant’s life. Studies investigating foliar fungal endophytes of mangroves are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the foliar fungal endophytes present on the leaves of three mangrove species: namely Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), Black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) and White mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa). The study site was an area located at Hope, East Coast Demerara, and South America, Guyana. Out of sixty (60) leaf samples that were prepared, fourteen (14) fungal isolates were identified. Most of the fungi isolated in the study were found to be Hyphomycetes (Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Alternaria, Cladosporium and Curvularia) while the others were Zygomorphic (Mucor and Rhizopus). The ANOVA calculations for the isolates from the three mangrove species were found to not be statistically significant. R mangle was the preferred host out of the three (3) species. The findings of this study confirm that mangroves have rich endophytic diversity and demonstrate rich research and biochemical potential.

Full textAbstract:
Apareiodon agmatos, new species, is described from the upper Mazaruni River and its tributaries, Essequibo Basin, in western Guyana. The new species is distinguishable from all other species of Parodontidae by having an incomplete lateral line. The scales of A. agmatos are more numerous than in any previously described parodontid. It has five incisorlike pedunculate teeth on the premaxilla aligned in a straight row, each with a large central spatulate cusp bordered on each side by a minute lateral cusp. The maxilla has two or infrequently three incisors. It shares an unusual pigmentation pattern of one dorsomedial and four lateral black stripes with A. gransabana, which was described from the neighboring upper Río Caroní drainage, Orinoco Basin. Apareiodon agmatos also shares with A. gransabana and Parodon guyanensis a higher number (5 versus 4) of teeth than other members of the genus in the premaxillary. Apareiodon agmatos and A. gransabana may also share an absence of thickening of the anterior pleural ribs noted by Starnes & Schindler (1993) for A. gransabana. While beyond the scope of this work, these features may prove sufficient to diagnose this group of species from the genus Apareiodon as currently recognized.

Full textAbstract:
Chrysomydas Wilcox, Papavero & Pimentel, 1989 (Diptera, Mydidae, Mydinae, Stratiomydina), is a poorly known monotypic genus, with the type-species, C. nitidulus (Olivier, 1811), recorded from Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. The present work aims to provide an updated diagnosis for the genus and type-species, C. nitidulus, along with the description of C. phoenix Calhau & Lamas sp. nov. from the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, based on a male imago and associated pupal exuviae. Additionally, the first bionomic data for the genus are reported, with the rearing of adult C. nitidulus in the laboratory from larvae collected under the decaying trunk of a coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The new species is easily distinguished from C. nitidulus by the predominantly black tergal and scutal setulae, which are golden in the type-species. They also differ by the male genitalia and shape of the proboscis.

Full textAbstract:
Endophytic fungi are those that colonize the living tissues of plants without causing any disease symptoms. As colonisers of different parts and species of plants, they offer protection to the plant against herbivore and insect pest damages while also producing secondary metabolites which can be used in biotechnological processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of endophytic fungi colonizing the leaves of the Avicenna germinans (Black mangrove), Rhizophora mangle (red mangrove) and Laguncularia racemosa (white mangrove), from Palmyra, Bush Lot Beach and Wellington Park Beach, Corentyne, Berbice, Guyana South America. A total of 303 isolates were obtained from this study. These isolates were classified into 18 species and 9 genera. The 18 species obtained are Aspergillus calidoustus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. luchuensis, A. nidulans, A. niger, A. terreus. Aspergillus spp., Alternaria spp., Candida krusei, Cladosporium spp., Curvurlaria spp., Fusarium spp., Penicillium spp., Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium citrinum, Pythopthora spp., and Rhizopus spp. Based on the Shannon Weiner Diversity Index (H’) calculation, Avicenna germinans was found to have the greatest species diversity followed by Rhizophora mangle and then Laguncularia racemosa. Aspergillus was found to be the most dominant genus of all isolates with A. niger and A. flavus being the most common species among all three species of mangroves.

Full textAbstract:
Hypostomus macushi is described as a new species of the H. cochliodon group based on the presence of a light background with widely separated black spots. The only members of the H. cochliodon group with similar coloration are H. cochliodon, H.ericae, H. ericius and H. paucipunctatus. Hypostomus macushi can be separated from H. cochliodon by lacking a longitudinal ridge on the pterotic-supracleithrum and a lack of longitudinal dark stripes; from H. ericius by lacking keels formed from sharp odontodes on the lateral plates; from H. ericae and H. paucipunctatus by lacking a buccal papilla; from H. ericae by having spots in the distal dorsal and caudal fins not combining (vs. spots combining to form wavy lines); and from H. paucipunctatus by having medium to large spots (vs. very small spots). Hypostomus macushi is found in tributaries of the Essequibo and Negro Rivers of Guyana. The range of H. taphorni is additionally expanded to cover much of the Essequibo River basin in Guyana and a single locality in the Takutu River drainage. Addition of H. macushi and H. sculpodon to the phylogeny of the Hypostomus cochliodon group collapsed most of the clades found in a previous analysis. Only the H. cochliodon group, the wood-specializing species, and H. ericius + H. oculeus are supported as clades.Hypostomus macushi é descrito como uma nova espécie do grupo H. cochliodon baseado no padrão de coloração do corpo claro com pontos esparços. Os únicos membros deste grupo com pigmentação similar são H. cochliodon, H.ericae, H. ericius e H. paucipunctatus. H. macushi difere de H. cochliodon pela ausência da crista do pterótico-supracleitro e pela ausência de listras largas; e difere de H. ericius pela presença de quilhas pouco desenvolvidas com odontóides arredondados; de H. ericae e H. paucipunctatus pela ausência de papila bucal; de H. ericae por apresentar máculas na porcão distal dorsal e nadadeira caudal organizados aleatóriamente (vs. máculas arranjadas formando linhas onduladas); e de H. paucipunctatus por porssuir máculas de tamanho médio a grande (vs. máculas diminutas). H. macushi é encontrado nos tributários dos Rios Essequibo e Negro, na Guiana. A distribuição de H. taphorni é expandida para a maior parte da bacia do Rio Essequibo e em uma localidade na drenagem do Rio Takutu. A adição de H. macushi e H. sculpodon na filogenia do grupo H. cochliodon colapsou a maioria dos clados encontrados em um estudo anterior.

Recent extinctions and drastic population declines have been documented in the Guiana Shield endemic frog genusAnomaloglossus, hence the importance to resolve its alpha-taxonomy. Based on molecular phylogenies, the literature has long reported the occurrence of an undescribed species in the Pakaraima Mountains of Guyana in the Pantepui region. We here describe this new taxon and demonstrate that in addition to divergence at the molecular level the new species differs from congeners by a unique combination of morphological characters, notably a small size (maximum SVL in males 18.86 mm, maximum SVL in females 21.26 mm), Finger I = Finger II when fingers adpressed, Finger III swollen in breeding males, fringes on fingers absent, toes basally webbed but lacking fringes, in life presence of a thin dorsolateral stripe from tip of snout to tip of urostyle, and a black throat in preserved males (immaculate cream in females). Virtually nothing is known about the ecology of the new species. We suggest the new species to be considered as Data Deficient according to IUCN standards.

Between 1838 and 1917, a British system of indentured servitude replaced the enslavement of African peoples with Indian labor in the Americas and the Caribbean. Almost a quarter of a million indentured Indian laborers came to British Guiana and would form the foundation of the majority of the Indian population in present-day Guyana. These men and women would spend nearly eight decades toiling on sugar plantations and rice fields before the brutal system of labor was abolished. This curatorial essay explores the work of three key contemporary artists of Guyanese heritage—Maya Mackrandilal, Michael Lam, and Suchitra Mattai—who underscore St. Vincent-born poet Derek Walcott’s seminal words “the sea is history” with an exploration of the sea as a weapon of rupture. Collectively, their artworks return us to a British past to offer a visceral reminder of the perilous kālā pānī crossing [Hindi for “black waters”], marking the sea the place where ancestral histories, trauma, and survival all share space. Grounding us in the present and pointing us to a future, I illustrate how these artworks also function as contemporary tools of remembrance and repair.

Full textAbstract:
Milk is one of the main sources of nutrients to animals, but due to its high water activity, it serves as an ideal medium for the growth of microorganisms. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the microbial load in raw cow’s milk and to identify the possible sources of raw milk contamination in Joanna. Fifteen (15) raw milk samples were collected randomly according to the simple random sampling method and farmers were interviewed. Raw milk samples were analysed for Escherichia coli and aerobic bacteria. From the 15 samples of raw milk, contamination with E. coli (93.33%) and aerobic bacteria (100%) was observed. Also, several factors, milk handling practices, unhygienic practices, extensive farming systems, and lack of general zoonoses exposure practices and awareness, predisposed raw milk to microbial contamination. This research concluded that the quality of milk was unsatisfactory since it was heavily contaminated with bacteria. It is recommended that there should be an increase in the agriculture extension education and awareness programme to help improve milk quality.

Full textAbstract:
We describe three new species of Geophagus from the Orinoco and Casiquiare drainages of Venezuela, bringing the total number of described species in the genus to fourteen, and of Venezuelan species to six. All three species are distinguished from G. grammepareius, G. taeniopareius, G. argyrostictus and G. harreri by lacking an infraorbital stripe, which is either reduced to a preopercular mark or is absent. Geophagus abalios n. sp. reaches at least 163 mm SL; it is distinguished from G. dicrozoster n. sp., G. winemilleri n. sp., G. brachybranchus and G. proximus by lacking a preopercular mark. It can be further distinguished from the widely sympatric G. dicrozoster n. sp. by the squamation pattern, and upper jaw teeth arrangement. Preserved specimens of Geophagus abalios are distinguished from other Geophagus species without head markings except G. brokopondo by six vertical, parallel bars on the flank; it is distinguished from G. brokopondo by the anterior three bars, which are dorso-ventrally bisected by a clearer area, giving the impression of two thinner bars, whereas in the latter species all bars are solid; additionally, the sixth bar in G. abalios is elongate and restricted to the dorsal half of the caudal peduncle, above the lower lateral line, and in G. brokopondo the bar covers the entire caudal peduncle. Geophagus abalios is present in the llanos of the Orinoco drainage, reaching the Andean piedmont, the R o Caura in the Guyana Shield, and the higher Orinoco and Casiquiare drainages in Amazonas State. G. dicrozoster n. sp. and G. winemilleri n. sp. bear a preopercular mark, which distinguishes them from G. abalios n. sp., G. brokopondo, G. surinamensis, G. megasema, G. camopiensis, and G. altifrons, which lack head markings. G. dicrozoster n. sp. reaches at least 202 mm SL; preserved specimens are distinguished from other species with a preopercular mark by seven vertical, parallel lateral bars. The species is present in black water tributaries of the Orinoco in the Guyana Shield, and its middle and upper course, as well as in the Casiquiare and the headwaters of the R o Negro. G. winemilleri n. sp. reaches a maximum known size of 195 mm SL; preserved specimens are distinguished from other species with a preopercular mark by four broad, ventro-caudally inclined bars on the flank, plus a fainter bar on the dorsal portion of the caudal peduncle. G. winemilleri is described from the lower Casiquiaredrainage and the headwaters of the R o Negro in southern Venezuela, but may be distributed along the length of the R o Negro.

Full textAbstract:
From their basic genetic and molecular mechanisms to their clinical expression, the sickle cell hemoglobinopathies are among the best understood of human diseases. However, advances in clinical management have not progressed as rapidly: sickle cell anemia, as of 1987, is still largely incurable and its treatment is empiric and symptomatic. Despite this, today we have a better understanding of the natural history of the sickle hemoglobinopathies and many of their clinical complications. This has led to improved diagnostic, prophylactic, and therapeutic strategies which have reduced the considerable morbidity and mortality of these diseases. The sickle cell disorders will be reviewed from genetic, biochemical, and clinical perspectives. Particular emphasis will be given to the rationale and strategies for neonatal testing and comprehensive clinical follow-up. Although it is widely believed that the gene for Hb S is almost exclusively, African, it has, in fact, a much wider geographic distribution. There is a broad periequatorial sickle cell belt in Africa. From Africa, the sickle gene was introduced into the Western hemisphere by the 16th and 17th century slave trade. In the United States today, sickle cell disorders are particularly prevalent in the South and in the urban North, reflecting the demography of black America. In the Carribean and Latin America, relatively high frequencies are seen in Purto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Panama, Guyana, and Brazil, but not in Mexico and most of South America.

We expand the description of the genus Mazarunia Kullander, 1990, explore morphological diagnostic characters for the genus and for its sister-group relationship with Guianacara Kullander & Nijssen, 1989 in a phylogenetic context, expand the description of M. mazarunii and describe two new species. Mazarunia can be diagnosed by the combination of numerous anatomical traits, including the unique loss of infraorbital 6, the configuration of the first epibranchial in two of the species, a well-developed posteroventral lateral expansion of the palatine that is largely contiguous with the ectopterygoid, the absence of a suture between the hyomandibular and the metapterygoid, the absence of an interarcual cartilage, fourth ceratobranchial with 2 or 3 tooth plates, a caudally scaled interoperculum, equal-sized scales in the ventral and lateral chest regions, a simple, disjunct pattern of lateral line squamation, and smooth preopercle, supracleithrum and extrascapula. Species of Mazarunia can be further distinguished from species of their sister-genus Guianacara by their distinct color patterns. Mazarunia charadrica, new species, can be distinguished from other species of Mazarunia, among other characters, by approximately equal uncinate process and anterior arm and reduced anteroventral expansion of epibranchial 1 (vs. uncinate process narrower and complete anteroventral expansion in the other two species), a dorso-ventrally flattened maxillary process of the palatine (vs. cylindrical in the other two species), cycloid (vs. ctenoid) scales in the opercular, postorbital, lateral chest and anal-genital regions, the absence of a mid-lateral spot, and a diffuse dark area covering the dorsal portion of the head giving the impression of a "black cap". Mazarunia charadrica has a unique juvenile pattern of seven vertical dark bars partially preserved in adults. Bars 3-6 in antero-caudal direction are most visible in juveniles and medium-sized specimens but become fainter and almost disappear in adults. Many specimens show only bar number 3 (midlateral bar). Mazarunia mazarunii can be distinguished from all other species of Mazarunia by the presence of two foramina (vs. one) on the lateral face of the ascending process of the premaxilla, a lachrymal bone that is longer than deep (vs. deeper than long), an infraorbital 3 that is contiguous but not overlapping with the lachrymal (vs. overlapping), ctenoid scales (vs. cycloid) on the subopercle, interopercle and chest, and by its unique coloration, including complete suborbital and supraorbital stripes, and being the only species of Mazarunia with a discernible lateral band formed by the mid-line blotching pattern associated with lateral bars. In large adults, M. mazarunii has a black or dark bar behind the head that produces the impression of a collar. Mazarunia pala, new species, can be distinguished from its congeners by the absence of a parhypurapophysis, the presence of a dorsal-fin scaly pad with ctenoid scales (vs. no scaly pad in M. charadrica and M. mazarunii), a small suborbital stripe limited to the preopercle, the absence of clearly discernible lateral bars on the body, and by its general pinkish coloration with midlateral spot as the only melanic marking. All known species of Mazarunia are restricted to the upper reaches of the Mazaruni River basin in Guyana.

New York: Caribbean Cultural Center, 1998. 177 pp. (Paper US$ 39.95,£31.95)"Caribbean" (like "Black British") culture is (as a Dutch colleague once said of postmodernism) a bit of a slippery fish. One of the books under review here presents the eclectic artistic productions of professional artists with Caribbean identities of varying sorts - some of them lifelong residents of the region (defined broadly to stretch from Belize and the Bahamas to Curacao and Cayenne), some born in the Caribbean but living elsewhere, and others from far-away parts of the world who have lingered or settled in the Caribbean. The other focuses on artists who trace their cultural heritage variously to Lebanon, France, Malaysia, Spain, China, England, Guyana, India, the Caribbean, the Netherlands, the Philippines, and the whole range of societies in West, East, and Central Africa, all of whom meet under a single ethnic label in galleries in New York and London. Clearly, the principles that vertebrate Caribbean Art and Transforming the Crown are built on the backs of ambiguities, misperceptions, ironies, and ethnocentric logics (not to mention their stronger variants, such as racism). Yet far from invalidating the enterprise, they offer an enlightening inroad to the social, cultural, economic, and political workings of artworlds that reflect globally orchestrated pasts of enormous complexity.

El segundo y tercer poemario (The Fat Black Woman’s Poems [1984] y Lazy Thoughts of a Lazy Woman [1989], respectivamente) de Grace Nichols, autora guyanesa residente en el Reino Unido desde 1977, se encuentran hermanados por el uso del humor. Criticada por valerse de este recurso, visto como un exceso de liviandad para tratar temas complejos como el pasado de esclavitud, la dura vida del inmigrante caribeño o la sexualidad femenina, Nichols revindica su utilización en tanto implica su adscripción a la tradición antillana. En el presente trabajo, mediante el análisis de cuatro poemas (dos de cada libro), se explora cómo opera el humor en ambas obras y qué simplificaciones conlleva, poniendo especial énfasis en cómo la aparente liviandad que aporta es, en tanto tradición caribeña, otro modo de resistencia.

Journal of the Faculty of Philosophy in Sarajevo / Radovi Filozofskog fakulteta u Sarajevu, ISSN 2303-6990 on-line, no. 23 (November 10, 2020): 181–208. http://dx.doi.org/10.46352/23036990.2020.181.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationships of Marxism and Christianity in the literary work of the three Baobabs of Negritude – the Guyanase Léon-Gontran Damas (1912-1978), the Martiniquais Aimé Césaire (1913-2008) and the Senegalese Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906-2001). Starting from the first cries of black revolt against “the civilizing mission” and the disproportionate exploitation of the human and natural wealth of the formerly colonized countries, we will try to describe how the Marxist vision of the colonial world of young angry writers influences the virulence of their attitudes against the assimilationist policies of the French Third Republic and the colonial clergy. Finally, we will explain how Senghoraian Negritude differs from that expressed in Césaireʼs and Damasʼ work and how his catholicism and the experience of peaceful cohabitation between Senegalese Christians and Muslims inspire him to preach the civilization of the Universal, that is to say to the mixing of men and women of different races and cultures.

Full textAbstract:
Secondary forests account for 40% of all tropical forests yet little is known regarding their suitability as habitat for diurnal large mammals and game birds. This is especially so for second-growth that develops on large areas of degraded land. We address this by investigating assemblages of large-bodied birds and mammals in extensive patches of secondary forest in the Jarí region of the north-eastern Brazilian Amazon, comparing species richness and abundance against that of adjacent undisturbed primary forests. We conducted 184 km of line-transect censuses over a period of 3 mo, and found that although primary and secondary forests held a similar abundance of large vertebrates, the species composition was very different. Secondary forests supported a high abundance of ungulate browsers (0.85 vs 0.44 indiv. per 10 km) and smaller-bodied primates (15.6 vs 4.6 indiv. per 10 km) compared with primary forests. However, large prehensile-tailed primates were absent (black spider monkey Ateles paniscus) or at very low abundance (Guyanan red howler monkey Alouatta macconelli) in secondary forest. The abundance of large frugivorous/granivorous birds was also low in secondary forests compared with primary forests (22.6 vs 37.1 individuals per 10 km, respectively). Faunal assemblages appear to reflect food resource availability. Concurrent vegetation surveys indicated that secondary forests had high levels of terrestrial and understorey browse. Fruit production was largely restricted to pioneer trees such as Bellucia and Inga spp. Although these regenerating forests were an important habitat for large mammals and birds, they were limited in terms of faunal richness, particularly dispersers of large-seeded plants.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe following 24 new species of Trypetheliaceae are described after three weeks of fieldwork in an area with a radius of 50 km around Porto Velho in Rondônia: Astrothelium bivelum with astrothelioid ascomata, 5-septate ascospores with polar gelatinous caps, and a thallus without lichexanthone; A. curvisporum with bent, 5-septate ascospores of 115–135×29–36 μm with a 17–22 μm thick gelatinous layer; A. decemseptatum with pseudostroma that are essentially black and look like breaking through the bark, with anthraquinones mostly on the pseudostromata but also on some parts of the thallus, best seen under UV light as the colour of the pruina is not very strong, and ascospores (7–)9–11-septate, fusiform, 50–65×11–17 μm; A. disjunctum with black pseudostroma and ascospores 3-septate, (27–)29–33×(8–)12–14 μm; A. duplicatum which is similar to A. mesoduplex, but pseudostroma are only yellowish inside and ascospores 45–55×11–15 μm; A. eumultiseptatum which is similar to A. eustomum, but with 9–11-septate ascospores of 65–70×15–17 μm; A. eustomurale which is also similar to A. eustomum, but with submuriform ascospores of 37–45×15–19 μm; A. flavoduplex which is similar to A. mesoduplex, but with ascospores 110–350×20–27 μm and the thallus containing lichexanthone; A. flavomurisporum with deeply immersed ascomata with muriform ascospores of 165–200×28–35 μm, with a distinctly thickened central septum and yellow oil; A. flavostromatum which is close to A. aeneoides and mainly differs by the bullate thallus and the cream pseudostromata; A. flavum which is similar to A. aeneum, but differs in the contrast between the linear to reticulate yellow stromata and the unpigmented thallus, and the ascospores of 16–18×6–7 μm; A. mesoduplex which is similar to A. flavoduplex, but with ascospores 90–100×20–23 μm and a thallus without lichexanthone; A. nigrum with mostly conical black pseudostromata that contrast sharply with the thallus, superficially resembling Pyrenula infraleucotrypa; A. novemseptatum which is similar to A. eumultiseptatum, but without lichexanthone anywhere in the thallus or pseudostroma; A. ochroleucoides which is similar to A. corallinum, but with lichexanthone on the thallus and pseudostromata; A. octoseptatum which is similar to A. eumultiseptatum, but with the whole pseudostroma, not just the ostioles, containing lichexanthone, and ascospores somewhat asymmetrical, which is highlighted by the unusual dominant even number of septa (eight) and the asymmetrically placed central septum in the case of uneven septum numbers; A. quatuorseptatum which is similar to A. octoseptatum Aptroot & M. Cáceres, but without lichexanthone, ascospores somewhat asymmetrical, which is highlighted by the unusual dominant even number of septa (four) and the asymmetrically placed central septum in the case of uneven septum numbers; A. robustosporum with solitary ascomata with an eccentric ostiole, and ascospores 11–15-septate, 90–125×20–27 μm; A. solitarium which is similar to A. ceratinum (Fée) Aptroot & Lücking, but with ascospores 33–36×10–11 μm; A. stromatofluorescens which is close to A. phlyctaena, but with lichexanthone only on the pseudostroma, not on the thallus; A. supraclandestinum is close to A. subclandestinum, but the hamathecium is not inspersed; A. testudineum with solitary ascomata with an eccentric ostiole, an inspersed hamathecium, and ascospores 8 per ascus, muriform, 50–65×23–27 μm; A. xanthosuperbum which is similar to A. disjunctum, but with muriform ascospores, 130–160×28–35 μm; and Pseudopyrenula flavoreagens which is similar to P. subgregaria, but with lichexanthone in the thallus. Only a few species were also found elsewhere, such as other areas of Brazil, or in Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, Panama, Australia and/or Papua New Guinea. Currently, 55 species of Trypetheliaceae are known from this spot, including 46 species of Astrothelium. The Amazon basin is the centre of diversity for the family, at least for Astrothelium, the largest genus in the family.

Energean Secures Rig for Multiwell Program off Israel Energean has signed a contract with Stena Drilling for an up to five-well drilling program offshore Israel, which is expected to target the derisking of unrisked prospective recoverable resources of more than 1 billion BOE. The contract is for the drilling of three firm wells and two optional wells using drillship Stena Icemax. The first firm well is expected to spud in early 2022. The firm wells are all expected to be drilled during 2022. “Our five-well growth program off-shore Israel, commencing in the first quarter of 2022, has the potential to double Energean reserve base with resource volumes that can be quickly, economically, and safely monetized,” said Mathios Rigas, chief executive of Energean. “Combined with first gas from our flagship Karish gas development project in mid-2022, the next 12 months are set to be truly transformational for Energean.” One of the firm wells is the Karish North development well. The scope includes re-entry, sidetracking, and completion of the previously drilled Karish North well and completion as a producer. The Karish North development will commercialize 1.2 Tcf of natural gas plus 31 million bbl of liquids and is expected to deliver first gas during the first half of 2023. The program also includes the Karish Main-04 appraisal well and the Athena exploration well, located in Block 12, directly between the Karish and Tanin leases. Athena is estimated to contain unrisked recoverable prospective resource volumes of 0.7 Tcf of gas plus 4 million bbl of liquids. Exxon Hits, Misses off Guyana ExxonMobil made another new discovery in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana but came away empty with a well on the Canje block. The Longtail-3 well on the Stabroek block struck 230 ft of net pay, including newly identified reservoirs below those intervals found in the Longtail-1 probe. “Longtail-3, combined with our recent discovery at Uaru-2, has the potential to increase our resource estimate within the Stabroek block, demonstrating further growth of this world-class resource and our high-potential development opportunities offshore Guyana,” said Mike Cousins, senior vice president of exploration and new ventures at ExxonMobil. Exxon operates the 6.6-million-acre Stabroek Block as part of a consortium that includes Hess and China’s CNOOC. The new well was drilled 2 miles south of Longtail-1, which was drilled in 2018 and encountered 256 ft of oil-bearing sandstone. The Uaru-2 well in the Stabroek Block was announced in April. That well struck 120 ft of pay. While Stabroek drilling success continues, the operator suffered a set-back on the nearby Canje block and its Jabillo-1 well. The Stena Carron drillship reached a planned target depth of 6475 m; however the well failed to encounter commercial hydrocarbons. According to partner Eco Oil and Gas, the well was drilled to test Upper Cretaceous reservoirs in a stratigraphic trap. Drillship Stena Drillmax will next mobilize to drill the Sapote-1 prospect located in the south-eastern section of Canje, in a separate and distinct target from Jabillo. Sapote-1 lies approximately 100 km southeast of Jabillo and approximately 50 km north of the Haimara discovery in the Stabroek Block, which encountered 207 ft of gas-condensate-bearing sandstone reservoir. Erdogan Touts Turkish Black Sea Natural Gas Discoveries Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the discovery of new natural gas deposits in the Black Sea, where the country plans to start production in 2023. State energy company Tpao found 135 Bcm of gas at the Amasra-1 off-shore well, bringing the total amount of deposits discovered over the past year to 540 Bcm, according to Erdogan. Turkey has ramped up offshore exploration for hydrocarbons over the past few years. Last year, explorers found 405 Bcm of gas at the Tuna-1 well in Sakarya field. Turkey currently imports nearly all the 50 Bcm of gas it consumes annually. Equinor Hits Oil Near Visund Equinor struck oil in Production License 554 with a pair of wells at its Garantiana West prospect. Exploration wells 34/6-5 S and 34/6-5 ST2 were drilled some 10 km north-east of the Visund field, with the former encountering a total oil column of 86 m in the Cook formation. The latter well encountered sandstones in the Nansen formation, but did not encounter commercial hydro-carbons. Recoverable resources are esti-mated at between 8 and 23 million BOE. “This is the first Equinor-operated well in the production license, and the fifth discovery on the Norwegian continental shelf this year,” said Rune Nedregaard, senior vice president, exploration and production south. “The discovery is in line with our roadmap of exploring near existing infrastructure in order to increase the commerciality.” Well 34/6-5 S was drilled using Seadrill semisubmersible rig West Hercules. Equinor operates the discovery; partners include Var Energi and Aker BP. ExxonMobil Eyes Flemish Pass Well ExxonMobil is looking to secure a semi-submersible to complete the drilling of a deepwater wildcat in the Flemish Pass offshore eastern Canada. The operator began drilling the Hampden K-41 probe in the spring of last year using Seadrill semisubmersible rig West Aquarius, but the unit was pulled off the well soon thereafter for reasons unknown. ExxonMobil is currently prequalifying companies to supply a mobile offshore drilling unit to continue the well at Hampden in Exploration License (EL) 1165A. The operator is targeting a mid-year 2022 start to the probe to be drilled in around 1175 m of water, some 454 km from St. John’s, Newfoundland. Meanwhile, China’s CNOCC has wrapped up drilling on its Pelles prospect, its first exploration well offshore Newfoundland. The prospect, in about 1163 m of water, is located within license EL 1144. The wildcat was originally set to spud in early 2020 but was delayed due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company confirmed that drilling operations onboard drillship Stena Forth were complete and the rig plugged and abandoned the well. The results of the well were not released. Equinor To Drop Mexican Offshore Leases Equinor will exit two Mexican deepwater blocks as part its upstream investment strategy to focus on assets offering rapid and strong returns. The two blocks located in the Salina Sureste basin were acquired in Mexico’s 1.4 bid round in an equal equity split with BP and TotalEnergies. Block 3, where Equinor holds a 33% operating interest, has water depths ranging from 900 to 2500 m. Block 1, where BP is the operator, has water depths ranging from 200 to 3100 m. Exploration commitments include a single well on each block, not yet drilled. The announcement to exit Mexico was made by Executive Vice President for E&P International Al Cook during the company’s Capital Markets Day event held in June. The company also unveiled plans to leave Nicaragua and Australia, as part of its upstream investment plans. Cook added that Equinor will only operate offshore assets moving forward and will no longer operate onshore, unconventional projects. The company will instead opt to partner with others on those projects. Equinor will also look to offload its exploration assets in the Austin Chalk play in the US and Terra Nova in Canada, he said. Var Energi Strikes North Sea Oil Var Energi has confirmed a discovery at its King and Prince exploration wells in the Balder area in the Southern North Sea. Success at the combined King and Prince exploration wells lifts preliminary estimates of recoverable oil equivalents between 60 and 135 million bbl. King/Prince was drilled in PL 027 by semisubmersible rig Scarabeo 8. The Prince well encountered an oil column of about 35 m in the Triassic Skagerrak formation within good to moderate reservoir sandstones, while the King well discovered a gas column of about 30 m and a light oil column of about 55 m with some thick Paleogene sandstone. An additional King appraisal side-track further confirmed a 40-m gas column and an oil column of about 55 m of which about 35 m are formed by thick and massive oil-bearing sandstone with excellent reservoir quality. The licensees consider the discoveries to be commercial and will assess tie-in to the existing infrastructure in the Balder area. The wells are located about 6 km north of the Balder field and 3 km west of the Ringhorne platform. Var Energi operates and holds a 90% stake of the license. Mime Petroleum holds the remaining 10%.
