TL;DR: This paper showed a link between sedimentation (related to changes in relative sea level) and diagenesis, leading to the potential for the development of process-based, predictive models of early diagenetic in depositional successions.
Abstract: Three macroscopic diagenetic features can be recognized in the sandstones of the Upper Cretaceous Desert Member of the Blackhawk Formation and Castlegate Sandstone of the Mesaverde Group exposed in the Book Cliffs, Utah, each of which have distinctive form, geometry, and stratigraphic distribution. Diagenetic alterations are: (1) leached zones ("whitecaps"), up to 10 m thick, beneath coal beds; (2) large (up to 8 m) concretionary carbonate-cemented bodies in amalgamated shoreface and thin fluvial sandstones; and (3) thin (up to 2 m), laterally extensive carbonate-cemented horizons beneath major marine flooding surfaces. Each feature has distinct petrographic and geochemical signatures, and formed through discrete diagenetic processes. Large isolated carbonate-cemented bodies are composed of ferroan dolomite, most of which precipitated during early diagenesis. Field and petrographic data, coupled with stable-isotope data (early cements, 13C = -2.5 to +3.4o/oo VPDB; 18O = -7.8 to -12.0o/oo VPDB; 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7078; later cements, 13C = -3.1 to -5.7o/oo VPDB; 18O = -12.0 to -15.1o/oo VPDB; 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7093) suggest precipitation from meteoric fluids, input into sediments during times of relative sea-level fall. The source of carbonate for the dolomite cement was dissolution of detrital dolomite from beneath coals by organic acids and subsequent mobilization by meteoric fluids. Carbonate precipitation in laterally extensive cement horizons appears to have started as a result of hiatus in sediment accumulation during marine flooding events (relative sea-level rise). Cement precipitation in these horizons continued through sediment burial as a result of organic-matter oxidation reactions in overlying organic-rich mudstones. The results of this study show a link between sedimentation (related to changes in relative sea level) and diagenesis, leading to the potential for the development of process-based, predictive models of early diagenesis in depositional successions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors critique some of the core sociological assumptions of the Social Model, questioning what "work" this kind of theory does in informing a set of practical concerns around the design of assistive technologies.
Abstract: Social theories are usually developed to enable a clearer understanding of a situation or problem. The ‘Social Model’ in various forms is currently the dominant model for researching disability, addressing disability from within a socio‐political framework that draws substantially on a ‘social constructionist’ perspective. This article critiques some of the core sociological assumptions of the Social Model, questioning what ‘work’ this kind of theory does in informing a set of practical concerns around the design of assistive technologies, suggesting an alternative framework of analysis, supported by extensive ethnomethodologically informed ethnographic research

TL;DR: This article describes seven key elements of the psychoanalytic work of Jacques Lacan that have a direct bearing on the development of theory for discourse analysis in psychology and implications for discourse-analytic reading of text.
Abstract: This paper describes seven key elements of the psychoanalytic work of Jacques Lacan that have a direct bearing on the development of theory for discourse analysis in psychology and implications for discourse-analytic reading of text. The paper reconstructs an account of discourse from Lacanian clinical and cultural practice and elaborates upon the way this practice conceives of: (i) formal qualities of text; (ii) anchoring of representation; (iii) agency and determination; (iv) the role of knowledge; (v) positions in language; (vi) deadlocks of perspective; and (vii) interpretation of textual material. While some of the elements outlined here are compatible with current social constructionist perspectives, Lacan’s work takes us beyond these approaches to something quite new.
