Dependence of wake structure evolution on the frequency of a pitching wing: A numerical investigation using LES
Authors: Vineeth V. K. , Patel Devendra Kumar
Published: December 2022

The flapping kinematics have revealed a new paradigm of locomotion which is highly maneuverable and efficient compared to traditional propulsion systems. This work numerically investigates a three-dimensional wing undergoing pitching oscillations using Large eddy simulation (LES). The wake structure is presented using the [Formula: see text]-function, and the influence of pitching frequency on the structure of the wake is discussed. The vortices appear to travel as interconnected vortex rings in the bifurcated wake and are completely different from the two-dimensional investigations. The increase in pitching frequency [Formula: see text] generates the interlinking structures between the two limbs of the bifurcated wake. The interlinking between the two limbs increases with [Formula: see text] and will get disrupted at sufficiently high [Formula: see text]. The increase in [Formula: see text] increased the force generated by the pitching wing, and the periodic dynamics between the force coefficients slowly transformed to quasi-periodic dynamics. The transition to quasi-periodic dynamics has not reduced the force generation of the pitching wing. The disruption of interlinking structures between the two limbs enhanced the lift generated by the pitching wing. The present investigation shows that the wake vortex structure strongly depends on [Formula: see text]. The generation of a jet in the wake is visible in the mean velocity profile indicating the thrust developed by the wing. The formation of multiple peak profiles indicated the formation of multiple jets, which resulted in enhanced thrust production. The Reynolds stress field generated from the velocity fluctuations appears to be influenced by both the pitching oscillations and vortex interactions. This study can guide the selection of better kinematic parameters to enhance the propulsive performance.
Revisiting OpenMP Auto-Scoping Rules
Authors: Dimakopoulos Vassilios V. , Mourelis Agelos
Published: December 2022

Auto-scoping in OpenMP has been proposed as a means for relieving the programmer from the non-trivial effort of identifying the data sharing attributes of variables used within code regions that produce concurrency, such as parallel and task constructs. In this work we reconsider autoscoping on parallel constructs, including combined parallel-worksharing constructs. We first show that the current implementations do not always scope variables correctly in the presence of nested parallel constructs. We then proceed to extend the set of rules that guide the autoscoping decisions so as to handle nested constructs successfully. We also discuss how this functionality is implemented in the OMPi source-to-source OpenMP compiler.
An Explicit Formula for Reliability of 1-out-of-n Cold Standby Spare Systems with Weibull Distribution
Authors: Yaghoubi Afshin , Moradi Nima
Published: December 2022

Standby spare systems are particularly important because of their high reliability over other competing systems. A great deal of research has been done in the literature on these systems under various assumptions. Obtaining explicit reliability equations for such systems is achieved only when the failure behavior of their components follows the exponential distribution due to its ease of use. However, in practice, there are many components that their failure behavior does not follow the exponential distribution. In this paper, a closed-form equation is derived for the reliability of the 1-out-of-[Formula: see text] cold standby spare system under conditions that the failure of the active component follows the Weibull distribution. The solution method for the system is based on the Maclaurin series and multinomial expansion.

Semigroup structures via IVI-octahedron sets
Authors: Baek J. I. , Muhiuddin G. , Han S. H. , Hur K.
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we use IVI-octahedron ideals and IVI-octahedron bi-ideals to discuss some characterizations of special semigroups, e.g., an intra-regular semigroup, a semigroup which is semilattice of left [respectively, right] simple semigroups or simple left groups and a semigroup which is a semilattice of groups and a [respectively, left and right] simple semigroups. Finally, we define an IVIO-simple [IVIOL-simple and IVI) R-simple] semigroup and study some of its properties and we give a characterization of a semisimple semigroup by IVIOIs.
On a generalization of Roman domination with more legions
Authors: Khosh-Ahang Ghasr Fahimeh
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we generalize the concepts of (perfect) Roman and Italian dominations to (perfect) strong Roman and Roman [Formula: see text]-domination for arbitrary positive integer [Formula: see text]. These generalizations cover some of previous ones. After some comparison of their domination numbers, as a first study of these concepts, we study the (perfect, strong, perfect strong) Roman [Formula: see text]-domination numbers of complete bipartite graphs.
Forgetting the Bicentennial Man: Discussing Why Anthropocentric Frameworks of Consciousness Should be Avoided for Artificial Entities
Authors: Tait Izak , Wang Ziqi , O’Leary Tahua , Corballis Paul
Published: December 2022

The established theories and frameworks on consciousness in the academic literature as related to artificial intelligence (AI), are rooted in anthropocentricism. Even those theories created intentionally for AI are based on the levels of consciousness as it is understood in humans primarily, and in other animals secondarily. This paper will discuss why such anthropocentric frameworks are built on unsecure foundations. We will do this by comparing the capacities and functions of human and AI cognitive architectures, discussing the ramifications and consequences of the behaviors that stem from these, and looking at the neurological conditions in humans that can give the most promising hints as to what a potential conscious AI entity would look like. The paper ends with a proposed solution for building a nonanthropocentric foundation of cognition that could lead toward a truly AI-focused framework of consciousness.
Metaverse: A Solution to the Multi-Agent Value Alignment Problem
Authors: Yampolskiy Roman V.
Published: December 2022

AI Safety researchers attempting to align values of highly capable intelligent systems with those of humanity face a number of challenges including personal value extraction, multi-agent value merger and finally in-silico encoding. State-of-the-art research in value alignment shows difficulties in every stage in this process, but merger of incompatible preferences is a particularly difficult challenge to overcome. In this paper, we assume that the value extraction problem will be solved and propose a possible way to implement an AI solution which optimally aligns with individual preferences of each user. We conclude by analyzing benefits and limitations of the proposed approach.

Authors: Skoglund Elisabeth , Stål Per , Lundberg Tommy R. , Gustafsson Thomas , Tesch Per A. , Thornell Lars-Eric
Published: December 2022

Here we show that lifelong endurance training, but not physical function, is associated with higher muscle oxidative capacity, even beyond the age of 80 yr. Neither endurance training status nor physical function was significantly associated with satellite cells or markers of regeneration and denervation in muscle biopsies from these very old men.
High sodium intake differentially impacts brachial artery dilation when evaluated with reactive versus active hyperemia in salt resistant individuals
Authors: Decker Kevin P. , Chiu Alex , Weggen Jennifer B. , Richardson Jacob W. , Hogwood Austin C. , Darling Ashley M. , Garten Ryan S.
Published: December 2022

This study examined if high sodium (HS) intake in salt resistant (SR) individuals attenuates brachial artery (BA) flow-mediated dilation in response to reactive (occlusion) and active (exercise) hyperemia. In SR individuals, HS intake impaired reactive hyperemia-induced BA dilation, but not exercise-induced BA dilation. This finding suggests that although brachial artery nitric oxide bioavailability may be reduced following HS intake, the redundant mechanisms associated with adequate upper limb blood flow regulation during exercise are maintained.
The Multiagent Evolutionary Game Research of Enterprise Resource Sharing on a Shared Manufacturing Platform
Authors: Hao Miao , Wang Hong , Gao Kai
Published: December 2022

Shared manufacturing is the application innovation of the digital economy in the field of manufacturing and brings new opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of China and even the global manufacturing industry. In order to explore the strategy selection of enterprises on the shared manufacturing platform, this study constructs a two‐party evolutionary game model and analyzes the dynamic relationship between manufacturing enterprise A and manufacturing enterprise B. Furthermore, in order to explore the influence of consumers’ strategies of manufacturing enterprises on the platform, the study constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of manufacturing enterprise A, manufacturing enterprise B, and consumers. Based on the principles of system dynamics, the paper uses Matlab to simulate the evolutionary game process dynamically and discusses the influence of parameter changes on resource‐sharing enthusiasm and strategy selection. The research shows that in the two‐party game, manufacturing enterprises are more inclined to adopt the strategy of sharing manufacturing resources. In the tripartite game, consumers’ decision‐making will affect the strategic choice of manufacturing enterprises. Consumers tend to establish strong dependence on shared‐manufacturing products in the process of sharing manufacturing resources.
SPECTRUMNET: Cooperative Spectrum Monitoring Using Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Suriya M. , Sumithra M. G.
Published: December 2022

Spectrum monitoring is one of the significant tasks required during the spectrum sharing process in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). Although spectrum monitoring is widely used to monitor the usage of allocated spectrum resources, this work focuses on detecting a primary user (PU) in the presence of secondary user (SU) signals. For signal classification, existing methods, including cooperative, noncooperative, and neural network-based models, are frequently used, but they are still inconsistent because they lack sensitivity and accuracy. A deep neural network model for intelligent wireless signal identification to perform spectrum monitoring is proposed to perform efficient sensing at low SNR (signal to noise ratio) and preserve hyperspectral image features. A hybrid deep learning model called SPECTRUMNET (spectrum sensing using deep neural network) is presented. It can quickly and accurately monitor the spectrum from spectrogram images by utilizing cyclostationary features and convolutional neural networks (CNN). The class imbalance issue is solved by uniformly spreading the samples throughout the classes using the oversampling method known as SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique). The proposed model achieves a classification accuracy of 94.46% at a low SNR of −15 dB, which is an improvement over existing CNN models with minor trainable parameters.
Endophytic Potential and Larvicidal Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Fungi against the Spotted Stem Borer, Chilo partellus
Authors: Kebede Denberu , Alemu Tesfaye , Tefera Tadele
Published: December 2022

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) of different genera are known to have the potential to engage in fungus-plant interactions as fungal endophytes. This hidden endophytic interaction offers several advantages to host plants, such as insect pest management. Hence, this study aimed to explore the endophytic potential and virulence of EPF collections after artificial inoculation. A total of 27 EPF isolates from the genera Beauveria and Metarhizium were screened for virulence. Two inoculation methods (leaf and seed dressing) were used to study the endophytic colonisation potential of the selected isolates. There was a significant variation among the tested isolates in their ability to kill C. partellus larvae. Lower mean percentage mortality was recorded for isolates B4, DS-51-21, and B1,9 which scored 28.01%, 32.29%, and 34.58%, respectively. All the screened EPF isolates were able to colonise maize tissues after artificial inoculation, except for APPRC-34GM. The percent colonisation of maize tissues varied with strains, and delivery methods ranged from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 53%, where the maximum was recorded by S#10H. Larval mortality after feeding maize leaves inoculated with EPF ranged from 18% to 60%. The findings of this study indicated that Beauveria spp. and Metarhizium spp. have the potential to colonise maize after artificially inoculating and translocating from the site of infection. Hence, the potential to move from the site of infection and larvicidal activity after colonisation may give the advantage to manage insect pests acting on the different parts of maize.
Chest X-Ray Images to Differentiate COVID-19 from Pneumonia with Artificial Intelligence Techniques
Authors: Islam Rumana , Tarique Mohammed
Published: December 2022

This paper presents an automated and noninvasive technique to discriminate COVID-19 patients from pneumonia patients using chest X-ray images and artificial intelligence. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is commonly administered to detect COVID-19. However, the RT-PCR test necessitates person-to-person contact to administer, requires variable time to produce results, and is expensive. Moreover, this test is still unreachable to the significant global population. The chest X-ray images can play an important role here as the X-ray machines are commonly available at any healthcare facility. However, the chest X-ray images of COVID-19 and viral pneumonia patients are very similar and often lead to misdiagnosis subjectively. This investigation has employed two algorithms to solve this problem objectively. One algorithm uses lower-dimension encoded features extracted from the X-ray images and applies them to the machine learning algorithms for final classification. The other algorithm relies on the inbuilt feature extractor network to extract features from the X-ray images and classifies them with a pretrained deep neural network VGG16. The simulation results show that the proposed two algorithms can extricate COVID-19 patients from pneumonia with the best accuracy of 100% and 98.1%, employing VGG16 and the machine learning algorithm, respectively. The performances of these two algorithms have also been collated with those of other existing state-of-the-art methods.
Collaborative Caching in Edge Computing via Federated Learning and Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Wang Yali , Chen Jiachao
Published: December 2022

By deploying resources in the vicinity of users, edge caching can substantially reduce the latency for users to retrieve content and relieve the pressure on the backbone network. Due to the capacity limitation of caching and the dynamic nature of user requests, how to allocate caching resources reasonably must be considered. Some edge caching studies improve network performance by predicting content popularity and actively caching the most popular content, thereby ignoring the privacy and security issues caused by the need to collect user information at the central unit. To this end, a collaborative caching strategy based on federated learning is proposed. First, federated learning is used to make distributed predictions of the preferences of users in the nodes to develop an effective content caching policy. Then, the problem of allocating caching resources to optimize the cost of video providers is formulated as a Markov decision process, and a reinforcement learning method is used to optimize the caching decisions. Compared with several basic caching strategies in terms of cache hit rate, transmission delay, and cost, the simulation results show that the proposed content caching strategy reduces the cost of video providers, and has higher cache hit rate and lower average transmission delay.

Published: December 2022

As cancer with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world, lung cancer is characterized by pulmonary nodules in the early stage. The detection of pulmonary nodules is an important method for the early detection of lung cancer, which can greatly improve the survival rate of lung cancer patients. However, the accuracy of conventional detection methods for lung nodules is low. With the development of medical imaging technology, deep learning plays an increasingly important role in medical image detection, and pulmonary nodules can be accurately detected by CT images. Based on the above, a pulmonary nodule detection method based on deep learning is proposed. In the candidate nodule detection stage, the multiscale features and Faster R-CNN, a general-purpose detection framework based on deep learning, were combined together to improve the detection of small-sized lung nodules. In the false-positive nodule filtration stage, a 3D convolutional neural network based on multiscale fusion is designed to reduce false-positive nodules. The experiment results show that the candidate nodule detection model based on Faster R-CNN integrating multiscale features has achieved a sensitivity of 98.6%, 10% higher than that of the other single-scale model, the proposed method achieved a sensitivity of 90.5% at the level of 4 false-positive nodules per scan, and the CPM score reached 0.829. The results are higher than methods in other works of literature. It can be seen that the detection method of pulmonary nodules based on multiscale fusion has a higher detection rate for small nodules and improves the classification performance of true and false-positive pulmonary nodules. This will help doctors when making a lung cancer diagnosis.
Very Challenging Cases to Diagnose: Concealed Foreign Bodies in the Upper Palpebral Conjunctiva Should Always Be Kept in Mind in Unresolved, Long-Lasting Chronic Ocular Pain
Authors: Tanabe Hirotaka
Published: December 2022

Ocular pain is a common complaint, and anything that stimulates the sensory nerve terminals innervating the eye, the peripheral axons of neurons located in the trigeminal ganglion, can cause it. An undetected ocular foreign body sometimes masquerades as a common condition such as dry eye or other frequencies, which can misguide both the doctor and the patient into an endless cycle of ineffective therapies and incomplete diagnoses. In recent years, as the concept of neuropathic pain has become more widely recognized, cases of idiopathic ocular pain in which the actual cause of the discomfort is a foreign body seem to be increasingly misdiagnosed as neuropathy. This report reviews cases in which hidden foreign bodies were responsible for unresolved, long-lasting chronic ocular pain. All records referencing the phrase “foreign body removal” were extracted from the outpatient clinic notes recorded by the author (H.T.) between 2016 and 2018 at Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital using the search engine of the computerized record system. There were 3 cases that were very difficult to diagnose: (1) a very minute iron shard in a 72-year-old female cataract surgery patient, (2) a deeply hidden eyelash in a 60-year-old female with varicella-zoster virus-related keratoconjunctivitis, and (3) an extremely small grain of sand in an 83-year-old female diagnosed with dry eye. In all cases, the foreign body was detected in an area of the upper palpebral conjunctiva without typical pathognomonic signs. Removing the foreign bodies led to immediate and dramatic relief of long-lasting, previously unresolved chronic ocular pain.

Background: Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children. Incidence in the USA has been on the rise for the last 2 decades. While therapeutic advances in diagnosis and treatment have improved survival and quality of life in many children, prognosis remains poor and current treatments have significant long-term sequelae. Summary: There is a substantial need for the development of new therapeutic approaches, and since the introduction of immunotherapy by immune checkpoint inhibitors, there has been an exponential increase in clinical trials to adopt these and other immunotherapy approaches in children with brain tumors. In this review, we summarize the current immunotherapy landscape for various pediatric brain tumor types including choroid plexus tumors, embryonal tumors (medulloblastoma, AT/RT, PNETs), ependymoma, germ cell tumors, gliomas, glioneuronal and neuronal tumors, and mesenchymal tumors. We discuss the latest clinical trials and noteworthy preclinical studies to treat these pediatric brain tumors using checkpoint inhibitors, cellular therapies (CAR-T, NK, T cell), oncolytic virotherapy, radioimmunotherapy, tumor vaccines, immunomodulators, and other targeted therapies. Key Messages: The current landscape for immunotherapy in pediatric brain tumors is still emerging, but results in certain tumors have been promising. In the age of targeted therapy, genetic tumor profiling, and many ongoing clinical trials, immunotherapy will likely become an increasingly effective tool in the neuro-oncologist armamentarium.

Este artigo tem como objetivo geral mapear a produção científica sobre os temas “Memória” e “Esquecimento” na literatura da Ciência da Informação no Brasil. Tem-se como objetivos específicos: identificar os títulos das produções, verificar os principais canais e fontes de publicação, averiguar a origem das produções, identificar os principais autores que publicam sobre as temáticas em questão, especificar as instituições e regiões mais produtivas sobre o tema. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos adotados, o estudo caracteriza-se como descritivo de abordagem quantitativa e natureza básica, tendo-se como parâmetro a Base de Dados Referencial de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação. Como resultado obteve-se um panorama geral sobre a produção científica na área da CI relacionada à integração dos temas “Memória” e “Esquecimento” a partir da seguinte categorização: títulos das produções, canais e fontes de publicação, origem das produções, autores, instituições e regiões mais produtivas. Assim, conclui-se que a abordagem dos temas “Memória e “Esquecimento” de forma interconectada no âmbito da Ciência da Informação superou a fase da descoberta e adentrou a exploratória, de modo que progressivamente ocorre uma descentralização da produção do eixo Rio-São Paulo, impulsionada pela existência de redes de coautoria intra e interinstitucionais, com destaque para a ação de pesquisadores de instituições das regiões Sul e Nordeste. As temáticas estão em uma fase de expansão quantitativa de publicações rumo à institucionalização do tema “Esquecimento” como face da mesma moeda da Subárea “Memória” no âmbito das discussões em Ciência da Informação.

Este artigo analisa o discurso de uma série de formadores de atuação – focando principalmente em Stanislavski – para decifrar os valores que aparecem com recorrência, e os modos como a experiência de atores e atrizes são subsumidas, ou seja, se adequam, se encaixam nesses valores. Será demonstrado como singularidade, verdade, organicidade, natureza e vida se tornam valores universais, princípios inquestionáveis que servem de parâmetro para deslegitimar certas experiências e converter outras em imperativo e fetiche, como elucida Jorge Larrosa.
A morte de Quixote e o Teatro do Futuro: uma visão pedagógica da obra de Mikhail Tchekhov

Dynamic Consolidation for Continual Learning
Authors: Li Hang , Ma Chen , Chen Xi , Liu Xue
Published: December 2022

Training deep learning models from a stream of nonstationary data is a critical problem to be solved to achieve general artificial intelligence. As a promising solution, the continual learning (CL) technique aims to build intelligent systems that have the plasticity to learn from new information without forgetting the previously obtained knowledge. Unfortunately, existing CL methods face two nontrivial limitations. First, when updating a model with new data, existing CL methods usually constrain the model parameters within the vicinity of the parameters optimized for old data, limiting the exploration ability of the model; second, the important strength of each parameter (used to consolidate the previously learned knowledge) is fixed and thus is suboptimal for the dynamic parameter updates. To address these limitations, we first relax the vicinity constraints with a global definition of the important strength, which allows us to explore the full parameter space. Specifically, we define the important strength as the sensitivity of the global loss function to the model parameters. Moreover, we propose adjusting the important strength adaptively to align it with the dynamic parameter updates. Through extensive experiments on popular data sets, we demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the strong baselines by up to 24% in terms of average accuracy.

“Now I Understand why She Needs Our help”
Authors: Olsen Rita Karoline
Published: December 2022

Children’s right to be listened to and taken seriously according to Article 12 of the uncrc is an important objective of children’s services. This article is based on a qualitative case study with children to explore child participation in research and the understanding of collaborative alliances. Analysis of field notes from workshops with children as co-researchers in a co-creation project forms a picture of four key components to answer the research question of how collaborative alliance as a methodological approach to child participation can support their ability to express their views freely: (a) having a valuable role in the collaboration, (b) creating a safe framework, (c) inclusion through information, and (d) an open and exploratory approach to the task. In this methodological approach, there is a suggestion of a ‘task-oriented approach’ to meaningful participation, as well as a proposal for chronological order for these elements.

Authors: Akça Rıfat , Saruhan Islam
Published: December 2022

In the study, the topical application (1 µl/bee), contact (5 ml/pot/10 bees) and residual (5 ml/pot/10 bees) effects of eight insecticides (Methiocarb, Alphacypermethrin, Indoxacarb, Spinosad, Thiacloprid + Deltamethrin, Thiamethoxam, Thiamethoxam + Lambda-Cyhalothrin and Zeta Cypermethrin), which are commonly used in pest control in hazelnut cultivation, were investigated on Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera:Apidae). The study was conducted with 10 young worker bees in 4 replicates. Knock-down effect and 48-hour mortality were determined in all three methods. The study was conducted under 65–70% humidity and 24 ± 1oC laboratory conditions. The study findings demonstrated that the impact of the topical application was low in all pesticides, while the other two methods led to 100% mortality after 48 hours at the recommended dose. The highest contact effect was observed with thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalothrin, thiamethoxam, zeta cypermethrin, methiocarb and indoxacarb, followed by thiacloprid + deltamethrin, Spinosad and alphacypermethrin. Among the insecticides tested for residual effects, thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalothrin, thiamethoxam, zeta cypermethrin and Spinosad led to over 90% mortality after 5 days.

Tackling how racial justice and climate crisis are entangled, this essay introduces a speculative cartography experiment entitled The World We Became: Map Quest 2350. A collaboration between a collective of artists, poets, academics, curators, architects, and activists, this digital humanities project maps global ecological crises and shared Black, Asian, Pacific, Middle Eastern, Latin American, Caribbean, and Indigenous futures. Intentionally produced in a multimedia format, the born-digital speculative design experiment features visual and audio components presenting a planetary vision of the year 2350 as an underwater future in ruins. The atlas connects five transnational imaginaries that rescript the geographic boundaries of what we currently understand to be South Asia, the South Pacific, the Middle East, North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Situating nation-state borders as recent constructs, in this creative exercise the natural environment becomes a model for imagining interspecies relationality and co-presence. Mangroves and atolls form portals to speculative futures of non-human existence beyond the climate crisis and the impact of racial extractive capitalism. Anchored in five locales, the collective text brings together a global vision of survivance addressing migration, dispossession, Asian diaspora, Native sovereignty, Black fugitivity, and broader questions of global indigeneity. With life emerging from the ruins, this atlas forms a digital blueprint of suboceanic futures and the practice of interrogating what justice could mean in the far future.
FX Law and Regulations in Korea: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Kang Min-woo
Published: December 2022

The last two decades of the Korean foreign exchange market regulations, especially aftermath the 1997 Asian financial crisis, can be characterised by an increased emphasis on the capital account liberalisation and deregulation. Although several new types of regulatory measures were implemented to enhance market resilience in the midst of the 2008 global financial crisis, strict control measures were largely eased in order to facilitate cross border trades. However, there are still many remaining unresolved problems and the rapidly changing financial environment poses new challenges for legal institutions surrounding the foreign exchange market. This contribution aims to shed some light on the Korean government’s efforts to facilitate foreign transactions, while maintaining equilibrium in the balance of payments and stabilising the value of currency by regulating the external shock-sensitive market. It also offers some insight for the authorities to consider to improve the legal system by providing an in-depth analysis of the recent notable changes in the regulatory landscape.
Macrolepiota capelariae (Agaricaceae, Basidiomycota): a new species from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest with extended records to Argentina and Mexico
Authors: SOUZA ADRIANA D. , NASCIMENTO CRISTIANO C. DO , FREITAS DALINE S. , MENOLLI JR. NELSON
Published: December 2022

A new Macrolepiota species from Brazil, M. capelariae, is proposed here based on morphological and molecular evidence. The description and illustrations are based on specimens collected in a remnant of the Atlantic Rainforest in São Paulo, Southeast Brazil. Analyses of nrITS sequences supported the recognition of this new species, in combination with morphological evidence, and revealed its phylogenetic placement in Macrolepiota sect. Macrolepiota. Macrolepiota capelariae is characterized by its medium to large and very tall basidiomata, light brown to pale greyish brown, brownish orange or clay brown pileus surface, ellipsoid to oblong, dextrinoid basidiospores with a distinct germ pore, narrowly clavate to sometimes clavate cheilocystidia, a trichodermal pileus covering composed of mostly clavate to narrowly clavate, thick-walled terminal elements, and absence of clamp connections. Nomenclatural types are deposited at the herbarium SP from the ‘Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais’, São Paulo, Brazil. A comparison with allied species is provided. An earlier varietal name proposed based on a Brazilian material, viz. Lepiota procera var. vulpina Rick, could corresponds to a synonym of the new taxa, but the lack of nomenclatural type, extant original herbarium specimens, and the record of confident distinctive characters for this variety prevent a reliable correlation with the new species proposed.

This new species is the second member of Romattalus and differs from R. dudkoi Tshernyshev, 2021 by the male sexually dimorphic pronotum possessing tufts of long pendent yellow hairs on lateral sides, and the shape of aedeagus, which is subparallel-sided at basal 2/3 in ventral view, then progressively narrowed apically, while in R. dudkoi, pronotum mixed with brown and yellow hairs, and the aedeagus distinctly swollen in middle part and widest at apical 1/4 part.
Climate Change Litigation: Vulnerable Children and a Duty of Care
Authors: Rochford Francine
Published: December 2022

This article considers climate change jurisprudence in the context of other eschatological narratives developing the theme of ecological catastrophe. It focusses in particular on concepts of fault, harm and responsibility, referents in case narratives, as expounding a sense of outrage at the excesses of modern capitalism, and the converse use of the child as the party innocent of all agency in the upcoming apocalypse. The article analyses the narrative developed by the applicants in an Australian case, Sharma by her litigation representative Sister Marie Brigid Arthur v Minister for the Environment [2021] FCA 560 (Sharma 1), in which the “previously unimaginable power” to cause potentially “cataclysmal harm” to “Vulnerable Children” created a duty to those children. The applicants were successful at first instance, but an appeal (Minister for the Environment v Sharma [2022] FCAFC 35 (Sharma 2) reversed this decision.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach and drawing upon approaches of philosophy, psychology and theology as well as law, this article considers the idea of “fault” in the tort of negligence and the techniques used to support the moral connotations of fault in the case narrative. In particular, it reflects on the contribution of the Judeo-Christian tradition to this fault narrative. It focusses in particular on the theology of hope in Christian eschatology, responses to anticipation of catastrophic climate change narratives, and the concept of fault in those narratives. It considers the psychological dimensions of “hope” and “despair” as illuminated in theological approaches to apocalyptic views, and the reification of doctrines of despair in proving damages in the law of negligence.
