A quantitative state and transition model for the Mitchell grasslands of central western Queensland

Concerns of reduced productivity and land degradation in the Mitchell grasslands of central western Queensland were addressed through a range monitoring program to interpret condition and trend. Botanical and eclaphic parameters were recorded along piosphere and grazing gradients, and across fenceline impact areas, to maximise changes resulting from grazing. The Degradation Gradient Method was used in conjunction with State and Transition Models to develop models of rangeland dynamics and condition. States were found to be ordered along a degradation gradient, indicator species developed according to rainfall trends and transitions determined from field data and available literature. Astrebla spp. abundance declined with declining range condition and increasing grazing pressure, while annual grasses and forbs increased in dominance under poor range condition. Soil erosion increased and litter decreased with decreasing range condition. An approach to quantitatively define states within a variable rainfall environment based upon a time-series ordination analysis is described. The derived model could provide the interpretive framework necessary to integrate on-ground monitoring, remote sensing and geographic information systems to trace states and transitions at the paddock scale. However, further work is needed to determine the full catalogue of states and transitions and to refine the model for application at the paddock scale.

Mitchell-Riley Syndrome: A Novel Mutation in RFX6 Gene

A novel RFX6 homozygous missense mutation was identified in an infant with Mitchell-Riley syndrome. The most common features of Mitchell-Riley syndrome were present, including severe neonatal diabetes associated with annular pancreas, intestinal malrotation, gallbladder agenesis, cholestatic disease, chronic diarrhea, and severe intrauterine growth restriction. Perijejunal tissue similar to pancreatic tissue was found in the submucosa, a finding that has not been previously reported in this syndrome. This case associating RFX6 mutation with structural and functional pancreatic abnormalities reinforces the RFX6 gene role in pancreas development and β-cell function, adding information to the existent mutation databases.

Un clàssic del feminisme en català: La condició de la dona de Juliet Mitchell

Aquest article estudia la recepció a Catalunya d’una de les fundadores del pensament feminista contemporani: Juliet Mitchell. Les contribucions d’aquesta autora van ser fonamentals per a establir els límits de la relació entre el feminisme, el socialisme i la psicoanàlisi als anys setanta. Un dels seus llibres més importants, Woman’s State, es va publicar l’any 1971. En disposem d’una traducció catalana realitzada per Josep Vallverdú, sis anys després: La condició de la dona; el mateix any es va publicar La condición de la mujer, amb traducció de Julieta Diéguez Garza (es tracta d’una reedició per a la península d’una primera edició realitzada a Mèxic l’any 1974). En aquest estudi s’analitza la traducció catalana i es reflexiona sobre la seva importància en un context en què calia abastir de clàssics l’incipient teixit associatiu feminista.
