Basin Margin

The thick-bedded, deep-water sandstone succession was described at the Tylmanowa site from the Polish Outer Carpathians. This part of the Carpathians is built mainly of the Upper Jurassic to Paleogene deep-water rocks. Succession at the Tylmanowa site is composed of massive, ripple-cross laminated, planar and trough cross-stratified, horizontally laminated and deformed sandstones as well as massive and horizontally laminated mudstones. All these sediments derived from gravity flows that prograde downslope from a basin margin towards the widespread abyssal plain. Exposed succession records the gradual transition from a decelerating debris flow to a turbidity current what is extraordinary in the recent investigations of deep-water sediments. The study succession has been compared with the widely known sediment models, such as: the classic Bouma Sequence (Bouma 1962), the high-density turbidite model (Lowe 1982), the fluxoturbidite model (Ślączka, Thompson 1981) and the hybrid event bed model (Haughton et al. 2009).

AbstractThe water potential in east of Tehran plain is different due to a variety of evaporative formations and the effects of fault structures and diapirism. In this study, the relationship between features of water sources, especially salinity with geologic settings and a structural property, is investigated. A field investigation was performed after determining the study range in the Eyvanekey area to identify the geological formations and distribution there along with the faults and salt domes locations using geological maps. Afterwards, by identifying the wells’ location and by using the decomposition results of water samples of the area, the concentration contour maps of chloride, sulphate, and sodium, among others, were plotted. The faults’ performance and the plotted maps’ interpretation showed that the highest salinity concentration lied in the eastern and southern parts of the plain; their change trend occurred in highlands towards central and western parts of the study range, which is consistent with the main river path. Considering the qualitative results of the water, the eastern and southern parts of the plain are typically of sodium chloride nature, while the water of the area is classified as non-potable in terms of potation and harmful saline with regard to agricultural use. The study findings showed that the high evaporative mass erosion rate, and gypsum and saline sediment transport have developed saline fields in the plain. On the other hand, disorganized exploitation of water sources has considerably reduced the water quality and increased the salinity in the area.

The Genesis and Internal Dynamics of El Salvador's People's Revolutionary Army, 1970–1976

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.
