    Early intervention and prompt corrective action in Europe

    No full text
    The present crisis has revealed that, as expected, much of the safety net for handling failures in the banking system is deficient, particularly for cross-border banks, and the present problems had to be handled by a range of ad hoc measures. The principal new measure that needs to be undertaken in most countries is the implementation of a satisfactory special resolution regime for banks. This paper, however, deals with two further steps that could assist the operation of the safety net. The first is to ensure earlier intervention so there is more time to put a satisfactory rescue or resolution in place. The second is to implement a regime of prompt corrective action (structured early intervention and resolution, SEIR) so that both supervisors and banks know that a regime of increasing intensity will take place according to a strict timetable that will end in the authorities stepping into the bank while it still has positive capital, if the earlier stages are not effective. The paper evaluates the means of doing this in a European environment making use of the experience in the United States. It concludes that, while a lot can be done even within the current framework of national supervision, particularly through pre-positioning, cross-border banks can be better treated either by revising the home-host responsibilities or by moving to a supranational level of responsibility for SEIR for those banks whose continued operation is considered necessary for financial stability in any member state.early intervention; prompt corrective action; cross-border banks; pre-positioning; bank resolution

    While the neural regions associated with facial identity recognition are considered to be well defined, the neural correlates of non-moving and moving images of facial emotion processing are less clear. This study examined the brain electrical activity changes in 26 participants (14 males M = 21.64, SD = 3.99; 12 females M = 24.42, SD = 4.36), during a passive face viewing task, a scrambled face task and separate emotion and gender face discrimination tasks. The steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) was recorded from 64-electrode sites. Consistent with previous research, face related activity was evidenced at scalp regions over the parieto-temporal region approximately 170 ms after stimulus presentation. Results also identified different SSVEP spatio-temporal changes associated with the processing of static and dynamic facial emotions with respect to gender, with static stimuli predominately associated with an increase in inhibitory processing within the frontal region. Dynamic facial emotions were associated with changes in SSVEP response within the temporal region, which are proposed to index inhibitory processing. It is suggested that static images represent non-canonical stimuli which are processed via different mechanisms to their more ecologically valid dynamic counterparts

    A year in the world journeys of a passionate traveller

    No full text
    The author who captured the experience of starting a new life in Tuscany expands her horizons to immerse herself--and her readers--in the sights, aromas, and treasures of twelve new special places. This book is a celebration of the allure of travel, of serendipitous pleasures found in unlikely locales, of memory woven into the present, and of a joyous sense of quest. She rents houses among ordinary residents, shops at neighborhood markets, wanders the back streets, and everywhere contemplates the concept of home. Weaving together personal perceptions and informed commentary on art, architecture, history, landscape, and social and culinary traditions of each area, Mayes brings the immediacy of life in her temporary homes to the reader.--From publisher description

    FORAGERS AND COLLECTORS IN THE ARCHAIC AND WOODLAND PERIODS: LITHIC EVIDENCE FROM LAKE HUDSON, MAYES COUNTY

    No full text
    The archaeological record in northeastern Oklahoma has been infrequently plumbed for evidence regarding the timing and pace of the hunter-gatherer change from mostly “Forager” strategies to mostly “Collector” behavior. The best current evidence suggests that by 1,000 C.E. the populations of the region had adopted sedentary farming as a major subsistence regime. However intriguing indirect evidence of changes in hunting practices, complex subsistence strategies, and increasing sedentism has been noted for populations in the vicinity of Lake Hudson, in Mayes County. Analysis of stone projectile points has the potential to increase the resolution of our understanding of incipient residential sedentism in the region. Contemporaneous Archaic and Woodland components from four sites in the vicinity of Lake Hudson contain a projectile point assemblage ranging from the Early Archaic to the Terminal Late Woodland. In this thesis research I evaluate the extent to which these projectile points exhibit criteria associated with a shift from highly residentially mobile forager hunting and gathering subsistence to a more sedentary collector logistical strategy. A research sample of Archaic and Woodland Period projectile points from these four sites was analyzed using morphological metrics analyses. The results of these analyses were statistically examined in search of correlations indicating of a shift in technological organization matching the increasing adoption of more sedentary Collector subsistence activity during the period in question. This research concluded that the lithic analysis produced inconclusive results that did not match the manufacturing and curation expectations set forth in the Forager-Collector subsistence and land-use model

    Brain networks subserving the evaluation of static and dynamic facial expressions

    No full text
    Because moving depictions of face emotion have greater ecological validity than their static counterparts, it has been suggested that still photographs may not engage ‘authentic’ mechanisms used to recognize facial expressions in everyday life. To date, however, no neuroimaging studies have adequately addressed the question of whether the processing of static and dynamic expressions rely upon different brain substrates. To address this, we performed an functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment wherein participants made emotional expression discrimination and Sex discrimination judgements to static and moving face images. Compared to Sex discrimination, Emotion discrimination was associated with widespread increased activation in regions of occipito-temporal, parietal and frontal cortex. These regions were activated both by moving and by static emotional stimuli, indicating a general role in the interpretation of emotion. However, portions of the inferior frontal gyri and supplementary/pre-supplementary motor area showed task by motion interaction. These regions were most active during emotion judgements to static faces. Our results demonstrate a common neural substrate for recognizing static and moving facial expressions, but suggest a role for the inferior frontal gyrus in supporting simulation processes that are invoked more strongly to disambiguate static emotional cues

    Spatial variability of metal(loid) leaching from coastal colliery wastes under freshwater and saline water conditions

    Historical disposal of coal mine wastes in the coastal zone has left a significant environmental pollution legacy. Climate change is increasing the likelihood that erosion of these wastes will lead to release of metal(loid)s to coastal environments. Whilst previous research has focussed on the generation of acidic, metal-rich waters from coal mine wastes in freshwater environments, a comprehensive investigation of metal(loid) leaching from such wastes in the coastal zone has not been undertaken. This study investigated the leaching behaviour of coal mine wastes under freshwater and saline conditions and determined the impacts of spatial heterogeneity of waste composition on such behaviour. The degree of leaching varied considerably within and between sites due to the heterogenous nature of the waste. Leachate pH varied from 1.80 to 6.99 with acidic leachates particularly enriched in Fe (≤17,000 mg/kg dry waste) and sulfate (≤48,000 mg/kg dry waste) due to dissolution of acid sulfate phases. Dissolution of Fe and Mn oxides, hydroxides and oxyhydroxides also led to release of surface adsorbed metal(loid)s such as As (≤21 mg/kg dry waste), Zn (≤86 mg/kg dry waste) and Cu (≤14 mg/kg dry waste). Adsorption of As to high surface area minerals was confirmed by X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES) analysis. Metal(loid) release was typically lower in the presence of seawater than deionised water due to the greater pH buffering capacity of seawater. This research provides an insight into the considerable challenges faced by coastal managers globally as they seek to mitigate the risks from such legacy pollution
