Longitudinal reference ranges for ductus venosus flow velocities and waveform indices
No full textOBJECTIVES: Serial Doppler measurements of the ductus venosus are used increasingly for monitoring fetuses at risk of hemodynamic compromise, but existing reference ranges are based on cross-sectional studies and thus are less suitable for comparison with serial measurements. We aimed to establish longitudinal reference ranges for ductus venosus flow velocities and waveform indices and to provide the necessary terms for calculating conditional reference ranges for serial measurements. METHODS: This was a longitudinal study of 160 low-risk pregnancies. Pulsed Doppler ultrasound was used to record ductus venosus blood flow velocities at 4-week intervals from 20-22 weeks of gestation onwards. RESULTS: With a success rate of 93%, 547 measurements (four or five in each fetus) were used to establish reference ranges. The time-averaged maximum velocity was 50 cm/s at 21 weeks of gestation, increased to 60 cm/s at 32 weeks, and remained so until term. Similarly, the peak systolic velocity increased from 59 cm/s at 21 weeks to 71 cm/s at 31 weeks and remained so until term. The end-diastolic velocity showed a continuous increase from 31 cm/s at 21 weeks to 43 cm/s at 40 weeks. The pulsatility index for veins decreased from 0.57 at 21 weeks to 0.44 at 40 weeks. When conditioned by a previous measurement, the reference ranges for the next observation became narrower and commonly shifted compared with those of the entire population. CONCLUSION: The new longitudinal reference ranges presented here reflect the development of the ductus venosus flow velocities and velocity indices and are thus appropriate for serial measurements, particularly if conditional terms are include
Terpsichore contacta Moguel & M. Kessler 2009, comb. nov.
No full textTerpsichore contacta (Copel.) Moguel & M. Kessler, comb. nov. Basionym:— Ctenopteris contacta Copeland (1955 [1956]: 477). Type:— BOLIVIA: Yungas, 1890, Bang 483 (holotype, US!; isotypes, B!, F, K!, N!). This species is characterised by conspicuously linear pinnae with parallel margins, leading to a pectinate aspect. Further peculiarities are the thin-chartaceous texture of the pinnae and the glabrous or one-ciliate sporangia. Terpsichore contacta is most similar to T. laxa (Presl, 1825: 23) Smith (1993: 487) but the latter has linear-deltate pinnae and abundantly ciliate sporangia. This is an epiphyte in the wet montain Yungas forests, from 1500 m to 2300 m in Peru and Bolivia.Published as part of Velázquez, Ana Laura Moguel & Kessler, Michael, 2009, Taxonomic notes on the fern species group around Terpsichore lanigera (Polypodiaceae), including the descriptions of three new species and one new variety, pp. 35-45 in Phytotaxa 2 on page 36, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.2.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/477614

Enckell (1969) found this species in a single locality in Eastern Norway. In general it prefers freshwater Sphagnum habitats, but can also be a component of the interstitial fauna (Enckell 1969).Published as part of Dimante-Deimantovica, I., Jensen, T.

Patterns and Ecological Correlates of Pollination Modes Among Bromeliad Communities of Andean Forests in Bolivia
No full textWe studied the distribution of five pollination modes (ornithophily, chiropterophily, entomophily, mixed/unspecific, autogamy) among the bromeliad communities of 74 forest sites in the Bolivian Andes and adjacent lowlands. We recorded a total of 188 bromeliad species belonging to 16 genera, including 115 (61%) ornithophilous, 14 (7%) chiropterophilous, 45 (24%) entomophilous, 8 (4%) autogamous, and 6 (3%) species with mixed pollination mode. Ornithophily was the dominant pollination mode at high elevations and in wet regions, while entomophily dominated in arid regions. Chiropterophily was most common in wet lowland regions, autogamy in arid sites, and mixed pollination in the lowlands. Pollination modes were rather evenly distributed among life-forms and ecophysiological types, with a few exceptions: terrestrial forest bromeliads, mostly belonging to unarmed, soft-leaved taxa, had a prevalence of entomophily and few ornithophilous species; large, spiny terrestrial bromeliads of Puya and Bromelioideae showed a prevalence of ornithophily; and autogamy was restricted to the neotenous subgenus Diaphoranthema of Tillandsia. The restriction of unspecific pollination modes to the lowlands is hypothesized to be related to the abundance of pollinators, eliminating the need for specialized co-evolution, or to the overall rarity of bromeliads in this environment, precluding the development of specialized relationships. The low representation of entomophilous species in small dry forest regions compared to extensive areas is assumed to be due to the seasonal influx of hummingbirds and/or bats. Overall, the frequency of individual pollination modes was related to the availability of pollinators as determined by temperatures and humidity

The importance of unfair intentions and outcome inequality for punishment by third parties and victims.Zeitschrift für Psychologie, 230(2), 114–126. https://doi.org/10.1027/2151-2604/a000458Retributive theories predominantly focus on third party’s motives for punishment, which are rather affected by the offender’s malicious intentions than the actual outcome of the offense. However, victims experience an offense from a different perspective. The value/status approach argues that an offense has two facets that produce different threats: the intentional violation of values and status imbalance between offender and victims. We suggested that third parties and victims punish unfair intentions, whereas victims also punish because of the outcome inequality. In the present study, we orthogonally crossed the factors offender’s intention with the actual outcome and perspective of punisher (third-party versus victim). Results show that victims punish harsher than third parties. However, there are no qualitative differences of third-party punishment and punishment by victims. Rather, both punish malicious intentions and outcome inequality. We discuss how the findings relate to retributivism and other psychological theories of punishment.unknow
