orty-eight surface sediment samples from the southeast (SE) Pacific (25-53°S) are investigated for the determination of the spatial distribution of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts along the western South American continental margin. Fifty-five different taxa are recorded and reflect oceanic or coastal assemblages. The oceanic assemblages are characterised by low cyst concentrations and the dominance of autotrophs, while the coastal assemblages generally contain a higher number of cysts, which are mainly produced by heterotrophic species. Highest cyst concentrations are observed in the active upwelling system offshore Concepción (35-37°S). Brigantedinium spp., Echinidinium aculeatum, Echinidinium granulatum/delicatum and cysts of Protoperidinium americanum dominate assemblages related to upwelling. Echinidinium aculeatum appears to be the best indicator for the presence of all year round active upwelling cells. Other protoperidinioid cysts may also occur in high relative abundances in coastal regions outside active upwelling systems, if the availability of nutrients, co-responsible for the presence/absence of their main food sources such as diatoms and other protists, is sufficient. The importance of nutrient availability as a determining environmental variable influencing cyst signals on a regional scale (SE Pacific) is demonstrated through statistical analyses of the data. Because of the importance of nutrients, uncertainties about the outcomes of quantitative sea-surface temperature (SST) reconstructions (Modern Analogue Technique) based on dinoflagellate cysts may arise, since no interaction between different hydrographical variables is considered in this approach. The combination of the SE Pacific surface sample dataset with other published cyst data from the Southern Hemisphere resulted in a database which includes 350 samples: the 'SH350 database'. This database is used to test the accuracy of the quantitative reconstructions by calculating and comparing the estimated versus observed values for each site. An attempt to perform quantitative SST reconstructions on the last 25 cal ka of site ODP1233 (41°S; 74°27'W) is made and again stresses the importance of other environmental variables such as nutrient availability in determining the dinoflagellate cyst assemblages.

Deputados progressistas da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) se unem para apresentar emendas. Divididos em vinte e nove grupos, avaliam o substitutivo do Relator Bernardo Cabral (PMDB-AM). O Deputado Plínio Arruda Sampaio (PT-SP) considera que, se formarem uma base sólida, os progressistas terão melhores condições de negociar com os outros grupos. O Deputado Vivaldo Barbosa (PDT-RJ) informa dos pontos de consenso do grupo. Na Sessão para discussão de emendas populares, o debate dos direitos dos trabalhadores teve com ponto polêmico a estabilidade no emprego. Luiz Carlos Mandelli, representando o movimento pela livre iniciativa, critica a emenda que dá estabilidade ao empregado. O Deputado Mário Lima (PMDB-BA) afirma que os empresários estão cometendo um equívoco muito grande, pois o trabalhador quando tem estabilidade no emprego produz mais e melhor. Outra emenda popular propõe que o serviço de transporte coletivo seja estatizado. Ela foi defendida por João Bosco, Presidente da CONAN (Confederação Nacional das Associações de Moradores), que considera que cabe às prefeituras a gestão, planejamento e operacionalização do transporte coletivo. A CONAN ainda reivindica 25% do orçamento nacional para a construção de casas populares. Dalva Stella Medeiros (Vice-presidente da CONAN) defende que o poder público deve assumir o direito à moradia popular para todos os cidadãos. Na sessão O Povo Pergunta, cidadã gostaria de saber se os constituintes estão pensando em fazer uma Constituição voltada para pequenos interesses ou para os interesses da grande maioria da população. O Deputado Assis Canuto (PFL-RO) responde que há uma tendência de particularizar a Constituição brasileira, mas cabe a sociedade e aos constituintes fazerem uma Constituição para todos os brasileiros.

Recent research has shown that the biomass of bacteria in lakes and other water-bodies can attain significant values. The huge production of bacteria is brought about by their great rate of reproduction. In a series of cases their biomass exceeds the biomass of phytoplankton. Therefore in a study of the biological productivity of water bodies it is necessary to calculate the biomass and production not only of the phyto- and zooplankton, but also of bacteria.The authors uses different methods and formulae to to compare the time of one generation of the bacteria.

The original method, proposed by Yentsch (1957), of determination of chlorophyll directly in the cells, attracts attention by its simplicity. In order to measure the content of chlorophyll by this method, a determined volume of suspension of algae is filtered through a membrane filter. The latter is dried a little, clarified by immersion oil, clamped between two glasses, and spectrophotometrized. Extinction is read off at , wavelengths equal to 670 millimicrons (around the maximum absorption of chlorophyll a in the cell) and 750 millimicrons (correction for non- specific absorption and dispersion of light by particles of the preparation). The method of Yentsch was employed by the authors for determination of chlorophyll-a in samples of phytoplankton. They conclude that in spite of the simplicity and convenience of determination the method must be applied sufficiently carefully. It is more suitable for analysis of cultures of algae, where, non-specific absorption of light is insignificant.

Eudiaptomus vulgaris Schmeil is the most abundant copepod in Lake Maggiore and forms also, in respect to other entomostraca, the most important element, through its average biomass and because it is fairly numerous throughout the year. Plankton samples collected in a systematic and quantitative way, gave the opportunity to study some aspects of the dynamics of the population of this copepod, in safety in view of the uncertainty which in this kind of study can ensue when samples are taken only at a single station - in consequence of the changes in size of population between different water masses. The results of the biometrical observations are of the population of Eudiaptomus vulgaris is presented.

This presentation is about a song, ”Catford Riddim” by the A-Team, a group of grime artists from South London, specifically about how it came to be played, perhaps a bit too loudly, in the back of the 202 bus one January morning on a teenager’s mobile phone. As an illustration of how social networks and technological networks converge, the ”Catford Riddim,” insisting on the music’s own provenance from the SE6 postcode, shows the formation of a local ethnoscape in the global networks of peer-to-peer file sharing and online DIY distribution sites such as MySpace. Contesting the narrative of online social networks as routes to fame, I suggest that on the contrary they illustrate the emergence of local, even insular, ”scenes” of musicians, events and audiences.
