Healthcare Activism, Marketization, and the Collective Good
No full textThis chapter engages with three key dynamics of contemporary healthcare - digitalization, marketization and individualization. It draws on several theoretical frameworks to conceptualize the notion of collective good and to consider how healthcare activism may play into defining and defending the collective good when faced with the outlined societal, economic, and scientific dynamics. Presenting contemporary examples from the Covid-19 pandemic, the chapter argues that the way activists define and defend the collective good can only fully be understood by grasping how this good is shaped by other, often more dominant, stakeholders in healthcare: governmental institutions, professional experts, scientists, and private industry – the latter being a focal point of concern for this current volume.European Commission Horizon 2020Check for published version during checkdate report - AC2021-04-28 JG: PDF replaced at author's request2021-06-04 JG: embargo removed following documentation from author/publishe

Scissurella nesbittae Geiger & Goedert 2020, n. sp.
No full textScissurella nesbittae n. sp. (Fig. 1) ZooBank LSID [ According to Richard Pyle of ZooBank, Zootaxa arranges for ZooBank registrations]. Type material. Holotype SBMNH 467092. Paratypes SBMNH 637694 (11 specimens), UWBM 112001 – 112005, from type locality. An additional 10 specimens UWBM 112006 – 112015. Type locality. LACMIP locality 41621 (= UCMP loc. 3607); Gries Ranch Formation, latest Eocene or earliest Oligocene, 33–34 Ma (latest Priabonian or earliest Rupelian) (Prothero & Burns 2001). South bank of Cowlitz River at the bend, east half of the SW ¼ of Sec. 24, T. 11 N. R. 2 W., at site of the old Gries Ranch, Lewis County, Washington. The scissurellid fossils are from silty sandstone directly below the thick oyster bed in the eastern part of the outcrop. GPS coordinates: 46.4188º N, 122.8788º W. Etymology. Named for Elizabeth A. Nesbitt for her contributions to stratigraphy and paleontology of the Pacific Northwest. Description. Shell to at least 1 mm (based on shell remnants on base of holotype), trochiform, suture below periphery of previous whorl. Protoconch of 0.75 whorls, fine axials, apertural varix connected to embryonic cap, apertural margin sinusoid. Teleoconch I of 1.125 whorls, about 22 axial cords, interstices with finest lamellar growth lines; first fine spiral thread after 1–2 axial cords, five at onset of selenizone. Teleoconch II of at least 1.75 whorls (based on shell remnants on base of holotype), shoulder with similar sculpture as on teleoconch I, about five spiral lines irregularly spaced between suture and selenizone. Selenizone slightly above periphery; keels of moderate strength, elevation. Base without constriction below selenizone, with axial cords similar to shoulder, spiral lines increasing in strength towards umbilicus, in vicinity of umbilicus forming small nodes at intersection with axial cords. Umbilicus narrow, distinct funiculus. Comparisons. Sinezona malloryi (Squires & Goedert, 1996) from middle early Eocene rocks in Washington has a distinct constriction of the base below the selenizone, and the suture is above the periphery of the previous whorl. Sinezona cupelliformis (Amitrov, 1996) from Eocene strata of Ukraine has many more axials. Scissurella aliceae Schnetler, Lozouet & Pacaud, 2001, from Paleocene rocks in Denmark has a sunken protoconch, a much wider selenizone, and stronger spiral sculpture on the shoulder. Scissurella bituminata Beets, 1942, from Oligocene (or late Miocene, see Janssen 1999) deposits in Indonesia has a distinct constriction below the selenizone, and more distinct and regular spiral sculpture. Scissurella depontailleri Cossmann, 1879, including its various synonyms (Geiger 2012), of Paleocene through Miocene age from Europe has regular spiral sculpture on the base. Scissurella marchmontensis Sohl, 1992, from Late Cretaceous rocks of the Caribbean has a distinct constriction on the base below the selenizone and prosocline axials. Remarks. The generic assignment to Scissurella is tentative because no complete mature specimens are known. Protoconch sculpture had been considered a means to diagnose scissurellid genera, but it has been shown to be highly variable (Geiger 2003, 2012).Published as part of Geiger, Daniel L. & Goedert, James L., 2020, Scissurella nesbittae, new species, from the Gries Ranch Formation, Lewis County Washington State (Gastropoda: Vetigastropoda: Scissurellidae), pp. 593-596 in Zootaxa 4759 (4) on pages 593-595, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4759.4.11, http://zenodo.org/record/374099

Coincident buoy- and SAR-derived surface fluxes in the western Weddell Sea during Ice Station Weddell 1992
No full textFinal published versionWe examine sea ice kinematics relevant to surface fluxes using ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images coincident with buoys in the western Weddell Sea in austral autumn of 1992. Careful matching of temporal and spatial scales shows that buoy- and SAR-derived velocities differ in root-mean-square error (RMSE) by 0.6 cm s(-1) and 7.80 degrees in magnitude and direction, respectively. These values represent agreements of 91.3% and 92.7%, respectively, and correspond to instrument uncertainties. Scaling analysis shows that shear matching is best at the smallest scales (<= 5 km), while divergence is better represented at scales of 40 km and larger. Sensitivity to error propagation shows lower agreement for divergence (47.4%; RMSE = 7.46 x 10-(8) s(-1)), but we find these results sufficient for integrated surface flux comparisons. Using a toy model, we test the effects of aliasing in surface flux determination. The results show that variability associated with storms, ocean tides, inertial oscillations, and other high-frequency forcing affects integrated sea ice growth rates along this continental slope location. Integrated salt and new ice production rates computed from buoys are found to be two times larger than those computed from ERS-1 SAR motion products. We show that these differences in salt and ice production rates result primarily from inadequate temporal resolution of heat flux variability and sea ice divergence. Comparison with other studies shows that the problem is widespread, thereby impacting the modeling of sea ice mass balance and variability. The small-scale processes cited here have significant ramifications for larger scales and the global thermohaline circulation.University of Delaware. Department of Geography
