Adequately preserved and anatomically most significant specimens only have been taken into consideration. On the whole 1033 specimens representing 41 species are considered herein.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'SFRM1000';">Es común en geoestadística utilizar métodos como el variograma o el coe- ficiente de correlación para describir la dependencia espacial y kriging para rea- lizar interpolación y predicción, pero estos métodos son sensibles a valores extremos y están fuertemente influen- ciados por la distribución marginal del campo aleatorio. Por lo tanto, pueden conducir a resultados poco fiables. Co- mo alternativa a los modelos tradicio- nales de geoestadística se considera el uso de las funciones cópula. La cópula es ampliamente usada en el campo de las finanzas y ciencias actuariales y debi- do a sus resultados satisfactorios empe- zaron a ser consideradas en otras áreas de aplicación de las ciencias estadísti- cas. En este artículo se muestra el efec- to de las cópulas como una herramienta que muestra un análisis geoestadístico bajo todo el rango de cuantiles y una es- tructura de dependencia completa, con- siderando modelos de tendencia espa- cial, distribuciones marginales continuas y discretas y funciones de covarianza. Se presentan tres métodos de interpolación espacial: el primero corresponde al indi- cador kriging y kriging disyuntivo, el se- gundo método se conoce como el kriging simple y el tercer método es una predic- ción plug-in y la generalización del kri- ging trans-Gaussiano, estos métodos son utilizados con base en la función cópula debido a la relación que existe entre las cópulas bivariadas y los indicadores de covarianzas. Se presenta resultados ob- tenidos para un conjunto de datos reales de la ciudad de Gomel que contiene me- diciones de isotopos radioactivos, conse- cuencia del accidente nuclear de Cher- nóbil. Finalmente, se presenta resultado obtenidos con el uso de cópulas discre- tas a un conjunto de datos simulados, esto permite realizar una extensión a los trabajos usuales de cópulas en Geoesta- dística. Este artículo es producto de la tesis de Maestría dirigida por el Profe- sor Edilberto Cepeda de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. </span></p></div></div></div>

The results of a comparative analysis of options for staible comparisons characteristic of the northern epic tradition of the Yakuts are presented. The relevance of the study is due to insufficient research of comparisons on the material of epic texts of the northern regions matching the established traditions of the olonkho of the central and Vilyuy regions of Yakutia to identify their commonality and specificity. Particular attention is paid to the structure of comparative constructions, their parallelization and the content of comparison images. A detailed analysis of the components of the five stable comparisons operating in all four texts is provided. As a result of the study, increased stability of comparisons was established in the Verkhoyansk, Mom and Oymyakon texts of the olonkho, in which only the peripheral part varies (epithets, additional terms of parallelism). The author’s notable introduction of the narrator in the Middle Kolyma text is considered, where peculiar objects and images of comparison are revealed. A comparison image was found that is characteristic only of the northern epic tradition when describing the heroic table. The definitions of individual obsolete words and their interpretation with the aim of establishing the original images of olonkho are given. A definition of the word kunnyalyk , missing in the dictionaries of the Yakut language, used as an epithet, included in the comparison construction and as a designation of an independent reference standard is proposed.

Based on findings from interviews we conducted with young people in two distinct communities in British Columbia, Canada, we undertook a comparative analysis of the ways in which class and place influence young people’s “imagined futures”. Our findings suggest that family plays an instrumental role in shaping youth’s aspirations in both locations. Perceptions regarding opportunity and mobility varied greatly between the communities, and appeared to be influenced by racialized and gendered inequalities. A few youth had aspirations that resided outside of the narrative parameters mapped out by their peers. We explore the implications of these perspectives for community-level strategies aiming to improve young people’s future trajectories, which could have positive impacts on their current and future health and wellbeing. While Bourdieu’s theories do not explicitly consider adolescent-specific capital, we found them to be helpful in making sense of youth’s narratives about their futures.</span></span></p>

Adam Knee continues this discussion of the action/adventure genre in Chapter Seven, "Training the Body Politic: Networked Masculinity and the 'War on Terror' in Hollywood Film", offering a detailed analysis of the representation of masculinity and agency in two Hollywood films, Unstoppable (2010) and Source Code (2011), which exhibit striking similarities at a range of levels, from their narratives to deeper structures of gendered character function, theme, and geo-political perspective that, he contends, are a manifestation of distinctly post-9/11 American concerns. Like Vincent M. Gaine's chapter on James Bond, Knee analyses both the variations inherent in the genre in the wake of 9/11 and the consistencies of the parameters of American mainstream film, and, more specifically, a developing conceptualization of modes of disciplined masculinity necessitated by the nation’s 'War on Terror' narrative. Knee then concludes with a comparative analysis of a pre-9/11 film and its post-9/11 remake in which these parameters are brought to the fore: the original Paul Verhoeven RoboCop (1987) and RoboCop (2014) directed by José Padilha.

The chapter introduces the aim of the book, its structure, and its relevance, including an overview of previously published works in the field. It emphasises a double-sided understanding of the constitution of welfare states by way of background to the book, which aims to provide, from a comparative perspective, a detailed analysis of crisis-driven changes in the nine EU Member States that were particularly affected by the financial crisis. As a basis for the subsequent country reports and comparative analysis, this introduction explains different forms and functions of social protection and different dimensions and levels of human rights protection, as well as detailing the time and place of investigation.
