Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene strata of the Pamplona Basin and surrounding areas (Navarre, western Pyrenees)

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene (Bartonian and Priabonian) sedimentary succession of the Pamplona Basin are described. This succession was accumulated in the western part of the South Pyrenean peripheral foreland basin and extends from deep-marine turbiditic (Ezkaba Sandstone Formation) to deltaic (Pamplona Marl, Ardanatz Sandstone and Ilundain Marl formations) and marginal marine deposits (Gendulain Formation). The micropalaeontological content is high. It is dominated by foraminifera, and common ostracods and other microfossils are also present. The fossil ichnoasssemblages include at least 23 ichnogenera and 28 ichnospecies indicative of Nereites, Cruziana, Glossifungites and ?Scoyenia-Mermia ichnofacies. Body macrofossils of 78 taxa corresponding to macroforaminifera, sponges, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, annelids, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms and vertebrates have been identified. Both the number of ichnotaxa and of species (e. g. bryozoans, molluscs and condrichthyans) may be considerably higher. Body fossil assemblages are comparable to those from the Eocene of the Nord Pyrenean area (Basque Coast), and also to those from the Eocene of the west-central and eastern part of South Pyrenean area (Aragon and Catalonia). At the European scale, the molluscs assemblages seem endemic from the Pyrenean area, although several Tethyan (Italy and Alps) and Northern elements (Paris basin and Normandy) have been recorded. Palaeontological data of studied sedimentary units fit well with the shallowing process that throughout the middle and late Eocene occurs in the area, according to the sedimentological and stratigraphical data.

Commentary on Jeffreys v. Boosey (1854)

The second decision of the House of Lords to consider the nature of copyright law. As was the case in Donaldson v. Becket (1774) (uk_1774) the law lords were in disagreement with the majority of common law judges invited to speak to the issue for the consideration of the House. In the course of their opinions, two of the law lords (Lord Brougham and Lord St Leonards) explicitly reject the concept of copyright at common law. Rather than a natural authorial property right, they present copyright as a purely statutory phenomenon specifically grounded in public interest concerns. Ultimately, the Lords decided that a foreign national, resident abroad, but first publishing in Britain, enjoys no protection in his work under British copyright law.

Unusual presentation of Gilbert disease with high levels of unconjugated bilirubin: report of two cases

Gilbert's syndrome is a benign condition characterized by asymptomatic sporadic episodes of jaundice, due to a mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by a deficiency in bilirubin glucoronidation. Under certain physiologic or pathologic events, bilirubin level rises but according to literature it does not reach out more than 3 mg/dl. We report 2 cases of Gilbert's syndrome, genetically tested, which presented with bilirubin levels above 6 mg/dl without any trigger or coexisting condition. In conclusion, bilirubin levels higher than 6 mg/dl in Gilbert syndrome are rare, hemolytic and other metabolism diseases must be ruled out, and genetic testing may be necessary in some cases.

Visita del excelentísimo e ilustrísimo obispo Doctor Francisco De Paula Verea González a la ciudad y curato de Matamoros, Tamaulipas y Brownsville, Texas en 1854

Francisco de Paula y Verea González fue el octavo obispo de Linares. Duró 26 años en el cargo, de diciembre de 1853 a septiembre de 1879 cuando se fue a Puebla. Entre las edificaciones que hizo en Nuevo León, inició la construcción del templo de Nuestra Señora del Roble (Juárez y Juan Ignacio Ramón).

Edición y caracterización lingüística del libro sefardí "La güerta de oro" de David M. Atías (Liorna, 1778)

La güerta de oro, compuesta por David M. Atías y publicada en caracteres hebreos en Liorna en 1778, es la obra de tema profano más antigua que conocemos en judeoespañol y por su contenido se diferencia literariamente del resto de la producción sefardí coetánea. Recorde-mos al respecto que la literatura sefardí escrita del siglo XVIII y la producida hasta el segundo tercio del siglo XIX desarrolla casi en exclusiva temas que se han denominado religioso-patri-moniales. Es, por tanto, la primera obra sefardí de transmisión escrita que intenta introducir los géne-ros literarios occidentales modernos en la literatura judeoespañola y supone un precedente de otros libros de entretenimiento con contenido misceláneo que se publicarán hacia el primer tercio del siglo XX. El intento de «occidentalizar» los géneros literarios sefardíes parece natural en su autor, un hombre educado en Occidente (Italia) y habituado, por ello, al gusto literario occidental. El hecho de que tardaran aproximadamente un siglo en aparecer nuevas obras de géneros similares indica que Atías no consiguió el fin que pretendía (al menos de forma inmediata), pues este camino por él emprendido no tuvo continuación, sino que se alcanzó como resultado natural de la evolución de la sociedad sefardí. Sin embargo, sí tuvo cierta repercusión entre los sefardíes orientales, ya que se realizó una reedición parcial en el libro Ḥut hamešuláš (Salónica, 1857). Y no solo resulta muy singular la obra por su contenido, sino también por su lengua, alejada de los registros hebraizantes propios de la literatura religioso-patrimonial...

A IMPLANTAÇÃO FERROVIÁRIA NO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO: 1854-1898

Esse artigo é parte da pesquisa que pretende analisar a importância da ferrovia para a circulação na região Norte Fluminense do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa, ainda não concluída, está baseada nos preceitos da Geografia Histórica (ver SILVA, 2008). Com isso é necessário analisar o processo maior de implantação ferroviária no Estado do Rio de Janeiro desde o início da implantação ferroviária, em 1854, da primeira ferrovia brasileira, a Imperial Companhia de Navegação a Vapor e Estrada de Ferro de Petrópolis. A partir daí surge a Ferrovia Dom Pedro II, uma das mais importantes do país e depois a Estrada de Ferro Cantagalo. São então implantadas diversas ferrovias, sempre atendendo à interesses regionais capitaneados por lideranças locais. Assim é que a ferrovia chega em Campos dos Goytacazes em 1875. Outra importante ferrovia do estado foi a Estrada de Ferro Leopoldina, que foi incorporando várias pequenas linhas férreas, até a transformação desta ferrovia em outra empresa a “The Leopoldina Railway Company”, que começa a funcionar em 1898, substituindo o caos reinante na companhia anterior. O conhecimento do período inicial de configuração de uma rede ferroviária no Norte Fluminense passa a ser de fundamental importância devido à importância da Companhia Leopoldina para a região Norte Fluminense em períodos posteriores.
