<p>The Wanni Complex is found in the northwestern part of Sri Lanka. The boundary to the Highland complex occurring to the south is partly ill defined. Differences in isotopic model ages were used to seperate both units (Kitano et al. 2018; Milisenda et al. 1994). While the Highland Complex has gained a lot of attention due to the UHT metamorphic overprint (up to 1150°C and 8-12kbar)(Sajeev and Osanai 2004) detailed petrological and geochronological work in the Wanni Complex is missing. Only a few studies focus on the border area between the Wanni Complex and the Highland Complex (Kitano et al. 2018; Wanniarachchi and Akasaka 2016).</p><p>Large areas of the Wanni Complex are covered by biotite gneisses, mostly migmatic, partly with occurrences of arrested charnockites or displaying potassium metasomatism (Cooray 1994; Kröner et al. 2003). However, charnockitic gneisses, garnet bearing gneisses and in the southwestern part cordierite bearing gneisses and metapelites occur which can be used for obtaining the PTt history of this complex. PT conditions of the Wanni Complex obtained from garnet bearing rocks place the metamorphic overprint clearly into the granulite facies and partly into the UHT field. Compared to the Highland Complex, temperatures are somewhat lower at 800-1000°C at 7-9kbar.</p><p>LA-ICP-MS U/Pb dating was performed on zircons from different locations of the Wanni Complex and shows igneous protolith ages of 855-963Ma. The ages were obtained from felsic hornblende-biotite gneisses and charnockitic gneisses. The wide range of ages could be a result of resetting shortly after magmatic crystallisation. CL images of some zircons show dark zones separated from oscillatory zoned cores by thin bright fronts. Taken together with core/rim dating of these zircons, this could be a sign of transgressive recrystallization (Hoskin and Black 2000).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Cooray, P.G. 1994.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.

Abstract. In this article, we reflect on 50 years of the journal Social Psychology. We interviewed colleagues who have witnessed the history of the journal. Based on these interviews, we identified three crucial periods in Social Psychology’s history, that are (a) the early development and further professionalization of the journal, (b) the reunification of East and West Germany, and (c) the internationalization of the journal and its transformation from the Zeitschrift für Sozialpsychologie to Social Psychology. We end our reflection with a discussion of changes that occurred during these periods and their implication for the future of our field.

Objective: Detecting the early emergence of childhood risk for adult mental disorders may lead to interventions for reducing subsequent burden of these disorders. We set out to determine classes of children who may be at risk for later mental disorder on the basis of early patterns of development in a population cohort, and associated exposures gleaned from linked administrative records obtained within the New South Wales Child Development Study. Methods: Intergenerational records from government departments of health, education, justice and child protection were linked with the Australian Early Development Census for a state population cohort of 67,353 children approximately 5 years of age. We used binary data from 16 subdomains of the Australian Early Development Census to determine classes of children with shared patterns of Australian Early Development Census–defined vulnerability using latent class analysis. Covariates, which included demographic features (sex, socioeconomic status) and exposure to child maltreatment, parental mental illness, parental criminal offending and perinatal adversities (i.e. birth complications, smoking during pregnancy, low birth weight), were examined hierarchically within latent class analysis models. Results: Four classes were identified, reflecting putative risk states for mental disorders: (1) disrespectful and aggressive/hyperactive behaviour, labelled ‘misconduct risk’ ( N = 4368; 6.5%); (2) ‘pervasive risk’ ( N = 2668; 4.0%); (3) ‘mild generalised risk’ ( N = 7822; 11.6%); and (4) ‘no risk’ ( N = 52,495; 77.9%). The odds of membership in putative risk groups (relative to the no risk group) were greater among children from backgrounds of child maltreatment, parental history of mental illness, parental history of criminal offending, socioeconomic disadvantage and perinatal adversities, with distinguishable patterns of association for some covariates. Conclusion: Patterns of early childhood developmental vulnerabilities may provide useful indicators for particular mental disorder outcomes in later life, although their predictive utility in this respect remains to be established in longitudinal follow-up of the cohort.
