Quelques points remarquables dans le Sinémurien des Alpes de Provence (France) : précisions biostratigraphiques et paléontologiques
No full textSome notewothy aspects within the Sineraurian of the Alps of Provence (France). Biostratigraphical and palaeontological data.
Four Sinemurian sections located in the Digne and Castellane surroundings are described here. Several lithological discontinuities and fossiliferous levels are analyzed. Biostratigraphical and paleoe-cological aspects are mainly considered. The Lower Sinemurian -Lotharingian boundary shows both lithological discontinuities and important changes among ammonites faunas. Moreover in paleo-biogeographical words the Sinemurian ammonites fauna of Provence are closed with those of Middle Europe. Thethyan affinities are only suggested by a enigmatic Lytoceratid.Quatre coupes du Sinémurien des environs de Digne et de Cas-tellane sont décrites en détail. Plusieurs discontinuités lithologiques et niveaux fossilifères remarquables sont mis en évidence. Ces derniers ont été étudiés dans des optiques biostratigraphique et paléocologique en tenant essentiellement compte des faunes d'ammonites et de lamellibranches. Le passage Sinémurien inférieur -Lotharingien correspond à la fois à une discontinuité lithologique importante et à une modification accusée des compositions fauniques. En outre les faunes d'ammonites sont très voisines de celles de l'Europe moyenne et à l'exception d'un Lytoceras ( ?), ne présentent pas d'éléments téthysiens.Corna Michel, Dommergues Jean-Louis, Guiffray A., Bulot Luc.

Bibliometric analysis of financial literacy level / Auryn Rahiem, Hasyeilla Abd Mutalib and Norhisam Bulot
No full textFinancial literacy level refers to the overall understanding of an individual's competency in managing finances. This article presents a bibliometric study on financial literacy. It was conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.18 to assess worldwide research trends, focusing on publication growth, publishing outputs by country, themes of interest, and co-occurrences of author keywords. Bibliometrics is a relatively new research methodology that has grown into a well-established aspect of information research and a quantitative approach to document description. The Scopus database obtained 563 papers published between 2019 and 2023. The literature search statistics indicate a decreasing trend in publishing outputs. Most of the papers came from scholars in the United States, followed by India and China. The keyword "financial literacy" appears most frequently in articles, followed by "financial knowledge." A closer examination of author keyword co-occurrences revealed that "financial literacy" had 242 instances. These findings could guide future research into under-explored aspects of financial literacy

Biostratigraphie du Crétacé inférieur de l'Arc de Castellane (S.E. de la France). 1 : Faunes d'ammonites du Valanginien supérieur et âge de 1'horizon dit de "La Grande Lumachelle"
No full textLower Cretaceous biostratigraphy of the Arc de Castellane (S.E. France). 1 : Ammonite faunas from the Late Valanginian and age of the "Grande Lumachelle horizon".
Recent biostratigraphic work in Late Valanginian of the Arc de Castellane (Alpes de Haute-Provence, France) allows a revision of the age of the lithostratigraphic "formations" originaly defined by COTILLON (1971). The discovery of an ammonite rich bio-horizon at the top of the "Grande Lumachelle" sensu COTILLON (1971) drives us to refined correlations between the condensed sections of the Arc de Castellane and the Valanginian hypostratotype of Angles (Alpes de Haute-Provence, France).
Detailed analysis of the succession of ammonite faunas and platform/basin correlations entitled us to discuss the two subzones of the Trinodosum Zone (BUSNARDO et THIEULOY, 1979, Sanctifirminensis and Furcillata Subzones), both considered herein as horizons of local value (nicklesi (= sanctifirminensis) and furcillata horizons).
Palaeontologicaly wise, the material collected allows us to recognize, within the basal assemblage of the Trinodosum Zone (nicklesi horizon), Varlheideites peregrinus RAWSON et KEMPER, 1978 and Rodighieroites cardulus COMPANY, 1987, not recorded from SE France so far, as well as representatives of the genus Dichotomites. A new species of Dicostella is described : Dicostella allavensis n.sp. and the Tethyan ancestry of this genus is outlined. Moreover, the age of the first Holcodiscidae (Jeanthieuloyites COOPER, 1981) is precised (top Verrucosum Zone and basal Trinodosum Zone).
The biostratigraphic range of the genera Criosarasinella, Dichotomites, Varlheideites and Rodighieroites within the sections studied allow precise correlations with Spain (Betic Cordilleras), Bulgaria (Bal-kanids), Czecoslovakia (Western Carpathians) and Germany (Lower-Saxony basin).La synthèse de nos recherches biostratigraphiques conduites dans le Valanginien supérieur de l'Arc de Castellane (Alpes de Haute-Provence, France) permet de réviser l'âge des "formations" lithos-tratigraphiques définies par COTILLON (1971). La découverte d'un biohorizon riche en ammonites au sommet de la "Grande Lumachelle" sensu COTILLON (1971) permet de corréler les séries réduites de l'Arc de Castellane avec la coupe hypostratotypique d'Angles (Alpes de Haute-Provence, France).
L'analyse des successions de faunes et des corrélations plateforme/bassin, nous permettent de préciser la valeur des subdivisions de la zone à Trinodosum proposées par BUSNARDO et THIEULOY (1979, sous-zones à Sanctifirminensis et à Furcillata) que nous considérons ici comme deux horizons à valeur régionale (horizons à nicklesi (= sanctifirminensis) et à furcillata).
Du point de vue purement paléontologique, le matériel collecté nous a permis de reconnaître au sein de l'assemblage basai de la zone à Trinodosum (horizon à nicklesi), Varlheideites peregrinus RAW-SON et KEMPER, 1978 et Rodighieroites cardulus COMPANY, 1987, inconnus jusqu'à présent du Sud-Est de la France, ainsi que des représentants du genre boréal Dichotomites. L'origine téthysienne du genre Dicostella est démontrée suite à la découverte dans l'Arc de Castellane du plus ancien représentant de ce taxon : Dicostella allavensis n.sp. Enfin, l'âge des premiers Holcodiscidae (Jeanthieu-loyites COOPER, 1981) est précisé (sommet de la zone à Verruco-sum et base de la zone à Trinodosum).
La position des genres Criosarasinella, Rodighieroites, Varlheideites et Dichotomites au sein des horizons à nicklesi et furcillata permet d'affiner les corrélations avec leurs équivalents en Espagne (Cordillères bétiques), en Bulgarie (Balkanides), en Tchécoslovaquie (Carpathes occidentales) et en Allemagne du Nord (Bassin de Basse-Saxe).Thieuloy Jean-Pierre, Fuhr M., Bulot Luc.

Endémisme et cosmopolitisme des faunes d'ammonites de la plaque arabique au Crétacé moyen (Aptien - Turonien)
No full textThis paper is a first approach to the distribution through space and time of the mid-Cretaceous ammonite faunas of the Arabian plate. It is based on new collections made in Iran (Lurestan, Khuzestan and the coastal Fars area) and data from the literature (Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Egypt). On the Arabian plate itself there is a marked difference between the diversity and abundance of the taxa present in intra-shelf basins from those on drowned platforms. Their comparison with faunas from Maghreb (Tunisia and Algeria mainly) enhances the validity of a premise concerning the existence of a South Tethyan endemic region that is well expressed during the Lower and Middle Albian, for it is marked by the success of highly distinctive faunas of Engonoceratidae ("Platiknemiceras", Knemiceras and Parengonoceras) developed on drowned platforms. This endemism is less obvious during the remainder of the period studied and appears to be limited mainly to aberrant ranges: the early occurrence of some taxa (such as Neolobites in the Middle Cenomanian) or the persistence of others (such as Epicheloniceras in the middle of the Upper Aptian)

The Sidi Ifni transect across the rifted margin of Morocco (Central Atlantic): Vertical movements constrained by low-temperature thermochronology
No full textThe occurrence of km-scale exhumations during syn- and post-rift stages has been documented along Atlantic continental margins, which are also characterised by basins undergoing substantial subsidence. The relationship between the exhuming and subsiding domains is poorly understood. In this study, we reconstruct the evolution of a 50 km long transect across the Moroccan rifted margin from the western Anti-Atlas to the Atlantic basin offshore the city of Sidi Ifni. Low-temperature thermochronology data from the Sidi Ifni area document a ca. 8 km exhumation between the Permian and the Early/Middle Jurassic. The related erosion fed sediments to the subsiding Mesozoic basin to the NW. Basement rocks along the transect were subsequently buried by 1–2 km between the Late Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous. From late Early/Late Cretaceous onwards, rocks present along the transect were exhumed to their present-day position.Applied Geolog
Patient safety in external beam radiotherapy - Guidelines on risk assessment and analysis of adverse error-events and near misses: Introducing the ACCIRAD project
No full textIn 2011 the European Commission launched a tender to develop guidelines for risk analysis of accidental and unintended exposures in external beam radiotherapy. This tender was awarded to a consortium of 6 institutions, including the ESTRO, in late 2011. The project, denominated "ACCIRAD", recently finished the data collection phase. Data were collected by surveys administered in 38 European countries. Results indicate non-uniform implementation of event registration and classification, as well as incomplete or zero implementation of risk assessment and events analysis. Based on the survey results and analysis thereof, project leaders are currently drafting proposed guidelines entitled "Guidelines for patient safety in external beam radiotherapy - Guidelines on risk assessment and analysis of adverse-error events and near misses". The present article describes the aims and current status of the project, including results of the surveys
