The Effect of Isosorbide Content on the Thermal and Compressive Properties of Closed-Cell Rigid Polyurethane Foam
Authors: Shin Se-Ra , Lee Dai-Soo
Published: February 2025

In this study, isosorbide (ISB), a bio-based compound derived from the dehydration of D-sorbitol, was used as a sustainable resource to produce various types of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs). Featuring a rigid bicyclic structure and two hydroxyl groups, ISB was solubilized in polyether polyol at concentrations up to 10 wt% for RPUF production. ISB-based RPUFs exhibited smaller and more uniform cell sizes, along with a 4% increase in closed-cell content, resulting in improved thermal insulation with a 4.69% reduction in thermal conductivity. Additionally, the compressive strength increased by up to 31%, enhancing the material’s durability. The compatibility of ISB with conventional raw materials and its unique structure contributed to these improvements. The reversible urethane bond formation of ISB was also observed, influencing cell structure during foaming. These results indicate that ISB can effectively improve both the thermal insulation properties and material durability under compression of RPUFs, making it a promising material for sustainable applications.
Acquisition and Modeling of Material Appearance Using a Portable, Low Cost, Device
Authors: Marelli Davide , Bianco Simone , Ciocca Gianluigi
Published: February 2025

Material appearance acquisition allows researchers to capture the optical properties of surfaces and use them in different tasks such as material analysis, digital twins reproduction, 3D configurators, augmented and virtual reality, etc. Precise acquisition of such properties requires complex and expensive hardware. In this paper, we aim to answer the following research challenge: Can we design an accurate enough but low-cost and portable device for material appearance acquisition? We present the rationale behind the design of our device using consumer-grade hardware components. Ultimately, our device costs EUR 80 and can acquire surface patches of size 5 × 5 cm with a 40 pix/mm resolution. Our device exploits a traditional RGB camera to capture a surface using 24 different images, each photographed using different lighting conditions. The different lighting conditions are generated by exploiting the LED rings included in our device; specifically, each of the 24 images is acquired by turning on one individual LED at time. We also illustrate the custom processing pipelines developed to support capturing and generating the material data in terms of albedo, normal, and roughness maps. The accuracy of the acquisition process is comprehensively evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results show that our low-cost device can faithfully acquire different materials. The usefulness of our device is further demonstrated by a textile virtual catalog application that we designed for rendering virtual fabrics on a mobile apparatus.
Improving Performance of Bluetooth Low Energy-Based Localization System Using Proximity Sensors and Far-Infrared Thermal Sensor Arrays
Authors: Djaja-Josko Vitomir , Kolakowski Marcin , Cichocki Jacek , Kolakowski Jerzy
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the concept of a hybrid positioning scheme using results from a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based system and additional infrared (IR) devices: proximity sensors and far-infrared thermal sensor arrays. In the proposed solution, the IR sensors operate independently from the BLE subsystem. Their output (the distance to the localized person and the angle between the sensor axis and the person’s location) is periodically used to improve the positioning accuracy. The results from both parts of the system are fused using a particle-filter-based algorithm. The proposed concept was tested experimentally. The initial tests established that both the proximity (VL53L5CX) and array (MLX90640) sensors allowed for angle estimations with a mean accuracy of about a few degrees. Using them in the proposed hybrid localization scheme resulted in a mean positioning error decrease of several centimeters.

Authors: Wojtulewicz Andrzej , Chaber Patryk
Published: February 2025

The article describes solutions in the field of diagnostics of a control system based on a CNC and the cooperation with an industrial robot. The industrial robot is controlled directly from the CNC. Data exchange between the CNC and the robot controller allows for collecting the most important process data from the robot. Then, calculations are performed in the PLC using a number of functions to obtain consumption indicators of individual robot components. The data were visualized on the HMI screens of the CNC. Additionally, a dedicated interface was prepared to share these data using the MQTT protocol for IIoT solutions. The entire solution was implemented and then deployed in a real station. The presented solution is an extension of the possibilities of operating an industrial robot by CNC towards diagnostics and early failure prevention.
Hyperspectral Image Change Detection Method Based on the Balanced Metric
Authors: Liang Xintao , Li Xinling , Wang Qingyan , Qian Jiadong , Wang Yujing
Published: February 2025

Change detection, as a popular research direction for dynamic monitoring of land cover change, usually uses hyperspectral remote-sensing images as data sources. Hyperspectral images have rich spatial–spectral information, but traditional change detection methods have limited ability to express the features of hyperspectral images, and it is difficult to identify the complex detailed features, semantic features, and spatial–temporal correlation features in two-phase hyperspectral images. Effectively using the abundant spatial and spectral information in hyperspectral images to complete change detection is a challenging task. This paper proposes a hyperspectral image change detection method based on the balanced metric, which uses the spatiotemporal attention module to translate bi-temporal hyperspectral images to the same eigenspace, uses the deep Siamese network structure to extract deep semantic features and shallow spatial features, and measures sample features according to the Euclidean distance. In the training phase, the model is optimized by minimizing the loss of distance maps and label maps. In the testing phase, the prediction map is generated by simple thresholding of distance maps. Experiments show that on the four datasets, the proposed method can achieve a good change detection effect.
Mission Possible? Institutional Family-School-Community Partnership Practices and Parental Involvement in Hungarian Majority and Minority Schools in Three Central and Eastern European Countries
Authors: Pusztai Gabriella , Bacskai Katinka , Ceglédi Tímea , Kocsis Zsófia , Hine Megumi G.
Published: February 2025

Decades of research suggest that higher levels of parental education are related to more active and effective parental involvement (PI) practices. At the same time, schools’ policies and practices facilitate family-school-community partnerships (FSCPs) to support students in attaining successful outcomes. However, it is unclear which school policies are effective in equitably involving parents with lower educational attainment. This study aims to examine the relationships between different types of FSCP practices of Hungarian majority and minority schools in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and create more equitable experiences for parents with lower educational attainment. We formulated the following hypotheses: H1. Higher levels of parental education relate to more active home-based and school-based parental involvement. H2. Parent educational attainment relates to parents’ perceptions of FSCP practices. H3. Parents’ perceptions of FSCP have a stronger relationship to PI than individual student and parent characteristics. The study included parents of Hungarian primary and middle school students in three CEE countries (N = 1002). Our findings suggest that parents with lower educational attainment perceive community development policies and special support as more significant compared to parents with higher educational attainment. Moreover, parents’ perceptions of FSCP practices have a stronger relationship to PI than individual factors. To create a more equitable experience for families, it is proposed that demand-driven practices be developed in schools.

Research on the Adaptive Development of Traditional Architectural Decorative Crafts: A Case Study of Chaozhou Inlaid Porcelain
Authors: Ma Yuancheng , Roosli Ruhizal
Published: February 2025

As cultural heritage carriers, traditional architectural decorative techniques face substantial adaptation challenges in contemporary society. Chaozhou Inlaid Porcelain, a nationally recognized intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of China, integrates artistic value with functional adaptability. However, its sustainability is undermined by high production costs, limited market demand, and weakening intergenerational transmission. Based on dynamic adaptation theory, this study systematically explores the inheritance and innovative evolution of Inlaid Porcelain. It aims to examine the feasibility of adapting the craft to modern societal needs and provides theoretical and practical references for the sustainable development of ICH. Employing a mixed-method approach, this study integrates SWOT analysis and case studies to delineate the dynamic adaptation pathways of Inlaid Porcelain across technological advancement, functional development, market positioning, education, and dissemination. The results suggest that Inlaid Porcelain possesses strong potential to meet modern aesthetic and functional expectations. This study highlights that ICH crafts can enhance cultural, economic, and social benefits by expanding their functions and adopting market-driven approaches. Yet, limited societal recognition and public engagement constrain its dynamic adaptation. This study proposes a systematic feedback mechanism integrating policy, market, and heritage transmission to enhance adaptive development. Furthermore, by developing a dynamic adaptation model, this research offers a practical framework for safeguarding and revitalizing traditional crafts, ultimately supporting the sustainable integration of cultural, economic, and social development.
Testing Different Fertility Treatment Regimes on Ontario-Grown Hazelnuts: Results from 3 Years of On-Farm Trials
Authors: Chapagain Tejendra , Liu Jenny , Krolikowski Sophie
Published: February 2025

Commercial hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) production is relatively new to Ontario and there are no Ontario-specific fertility recommendations for this crop. With the increasing numbers of hazelnut growers entering the industry and the number of acres coming into full production capacity, this was identified as a gap. A 3-year trial was conducted to look at how four different fertility treatment regimes impact hazelnut growth and yield: (1) Ontario’s guidelines for established tree fruits, (2) Modified Oregon’s guidelines for hazelnuts, (3) Grower’s management, and (4) Control (with no external fertilizers). Four pilot demonstration sites were also established to compare fertilized plots (e.g., Ontario’s guidelines for established tree fruits) with orchard-specific grower’s management. Location-specific soil and tissue tests were conducted to determine the amount of fertilizer to apply to each orchard. Hazelnut yields and economic returns varied with location, tree age, and market price of hazelnuts; however, fertilized treatment (e.g., Ontario’s guidelines for established tree fruits) outperformed the grower’s management by up to 75 percent with net economic returns of CAD 18–44 per tree. In the orchard where all four fertility treatments were compared, yields and economic returns from modified Oregon treatment and Ontario recommendation were not statistically different. However, they outperformed grower’s management by 44 and 42 percent, respectively. Modified Oregon and Ontario treatment yielded ~7.0 pounds (lb) per tree with a net economic return of CAD 27 per tree during the 3rd year of study, while grower’s management and control treatments yielded 4.8 and 4.0 lb per tree with net economic returns of CAD 19 and 16 per tree, respectively. Also, fertilized treatments showed higher levels of residual nutrients of N, P, and K in the soil and the leaf tissues. The project results supported that Ontario’s fertility guidelines for established tree fruits can be used for commercial hazelnut production on mineral soils in Ontario. Also, testing soils every three years or plant tissues every year could help match applied nutrients more closely with plant demand, thereby enhancing economical and ecological sustainability.
Total Quality Management Enhances Wood Pellet Utilization for Sustainable Energy
Authors: Lee Hsu-Hua , Hsu Chin-Mao
Published: February 2025

The global transition to renewable energy has accelerated the adoption of wood pellet biomass as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. This study explores the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) in optimizing wood pellet utilization for sustainable energy production. By integrating TQM principles—including process optimization, supply chain management, and technological innovation—enterprises can enhance production efficiency, ensure consistent pellet quality, and reduce carbon emissions. Compared to coal, wood pellets offer a lower-emission fuel alternative, with a calorific value of 4000–4600 kcal/kg, producing significantly fewer pollutants while supporting cleaner industrial applications. Although coal has a higher energy density, TQM-driven improvements in pellet production increase combustion efficiency, reducing the fuel quantity required for equivalent energy output. This research analyzes Taiwan’s wood pellet market, identifying challenges such as fluctuating costs, resource availability, and environmental concerns. Through case studies and policy analysis, this study proposes strategies to increase the proportion of wood pellet energy in Taiwan’s electricity mix, aligning with global sustainability goals and promoting net-zero emissions in the power sector.

The Influence of Chemical Composition on Cobalt-Based Alloys
Authors: MINCIUNA Mirabela Georgiana , VIZUREANU Petrică
Published: February 2025

Cobalt-based alloys contain up to 50% cobalt, which means that they provide the material with increased abrasion resistance at high temperatures. Cobalt is similar to nickel because it is a hard material that is very resistant to wear and corrosion, especially at high temperatures. It is generally used as an element in alloys, due to its resistance to corrosion, but also due to its magnetic properties. In all cases, the introduction of an implant into an organism is likely to induce chemical, mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic and atomic interactions.

Published: February 2025

As eleições de 2022 foram bastante complexas, marcadas pela polarização, por episódios de violência e pelo uso de estratégias como a disseminação de Fake News, empregadas com o intuito de gerar instabilidade, colocar em dúvida o processo eleitoral e confundir o eleitor. Essa foi a eleição mais importante da história recente do Brasil. A vitória de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva foi muito significativa, principalmente, por aqueles comprometidos com a luta de classes e dos povos originários, minorias e direitos sociais. O novo governo de Lula gera muitas expectativas, dentre elas, de que nos próximos anos seja possível reconstruir as políticas de sustentabilidade ambiental e social, interrompidas, sobretudo, no governo de Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Contudo, existem diversos desafios e contradições a serem superados, os quais passam pela conciliação de interesses e negociação com diferentes partidos e setores da sociedade. Com base no exposto, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise do que podemos esperar do governo Lula com relação à luta camponesa, indígena e ambiental. Tomamos como referência a composição dos ministérios da agricultura, desenvolvimento agrário, povos indígenas e meio ambiente. As discussões efetuadas são sustentadas em bibliografias, dados quantitativos e informações obtidas por meio de fontes primárias.

Published: February 2025

Mexico is the leading consumer of bottled water. Microplastic pollutants
are emerging that are ubiquitous in the environment, posing a risk to
human and environmental health. The aim was to determine the presence
of microplastics in commercial bottled water using Nile Red staining, and
30% hydrogen peroxide oxidation. Microplastics were verified by optical
and scanning electron microscopy. Microplastics were identified in all
brands analyzed, with higher count observed in the oxidation method
(16,504 range: 604 to 8,648) compared to Nile Red staining (4,812;
range: 73 to 2,013), p = 0.04 (Mann-Whitney U test). Granules
predominated in both methods. Exposure to microplastics per kilogram
of body weight in children and infants was 3 to 5 times higher than in
adults. The long-term effects of this exposure remain unknown,
highlighting the need to implement monitoring programs for emergency
contaminants to ensure access to high-quality water.
Energy efficiency study of an academic classroom of an educational center under NOM-007-ENER-2014 and NOM-025-STPS-2008
Authors: Rodríguez-Uribe Juan Carlos , Trejo-Torres Zaira Betzabeth , Benitez-Alonso Margarita
Published: February 2025

The energy efficiency of an academic classroom is presented as an important
alternative to avoid the excessive use of artificial air conditioning systems, thus
reducing energy consumption and the environmental, social and economic impacts
derived from said consumption. Currently, the official Mexican standards NOM007-ENER-2014 and NOM-025-STPS-2008 are used, efficiency and lighting
conditions in buildings. The official Mexican standard NOM-0076-ENER-2014
establishes the levels of energy efficiency in terms of electrical power density for
lighting with which lighting systems for general use of new non-residential
buildings, extensions and modifications of existing ones must comply existing.
While the official standard NOM-025-STPS-2008 establishes the minimum
lighting conditions that every workplace must comply with. With the above, it
turned out that based on the materials that currently make up the classroom
envelope, it does not meet the standards established by the norm, which directly
requires establishing a new design of the envelope that leads to reducing heat gains
towards the interior of space.

Prevalensi penyakit jantung di Indonesia tahun 2018 dilaporkan sebanyak 1.017.290 kasus. Penyakit jantung dapat memicu serangan jantung dan bahkan henti jantung. Pemberian bantuan hidup dasar (BHD) oleh masyarakat yang pertama kali menemukan korban (bystander) dapat berdampak terhadap outcome korban. Keterampilan BHD pada masyarakat awam cenderung masih rendah yang dibuktikan dengan kurang dari 40% korban henti jantung di luar rumah sakit mendapatkan resusitasi jantung paru (RJP) dari masyarakat awam, serta kurang dari 12% mendapatkan automated external defibrillator (AED) sebelum kedatangan petugas ambulans. Hasil penelitian lain juga menunjukkan bahwa kurang dari 1% masyarakat awam mampu melakukan BHD dengan efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor yang mempengaruhi kesiapan masyarakat pesisir dalam melakukan tindakan BHD. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan metode cross sectional yang melibatkan 106 responden. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Kendal Tau karena data bersifat kategorik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara faktor pengetahuan dengan kesiapan masyarakat pesisir dalam melakukan tindakan BHD (p=0.009). Terdapat hubungan antara faktor pelatihan BHD dengan kesiapan masyarakat pesisir dalam melakukan tindakan BHD (p=0.005). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara faktor pengalaman melakukan BHD dengan kesiapan masyarakat pesisir dalam melakukan tindakan BHD (p=0,376). Semakin banyaknya kondisi kegawatdaruratan di masyarakat, serta minimnya pengetahuan masyarakat terkait BHD, maka perlu dilakukan kampanye dan pelatihan BHD di masyarakat, karena kondisi kegawatdaruratan sebagian besar terjadi di luar rumah sakit.

Aim: To investigate the effects of allitol on the cecal microbiota profile of high-fat diet-induced obese rats to obtain basic data and to predict the pathway of butyric acid production from allitol using bioinformatic techniques. Moreover, this study examined whether the anti-obesity effect of allitol was due to butyric acid produced by gut microbiota.
Methods: Sixteen male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: control (C) and 5% allitol-supplemented (A). The rats were provided free access to the experimental diets for 11 weeks. Following the feeding period, the body weight, body fat, cecal short-chain fatty acids, and cecal microbiota profiles were determined.
Results: Body fat percentage was significantly lower in Group A than in Group C. Group A had a significantly higher abundance of the phylum Bacteroidota than Group C, whereas there were no differences in the abundance of Bacillota, Actinomycetota, and Pseudomonadota. Changes in the microbiota indicated a significant increase in the abundance of 10 genera and a significant decrease in the abundance of 14 genera in Group A compared to Group C. The cecal butyric acid content was significantly higher in Group A than in Group C. Functional analysis of PICRUSt2 showed that many enzymes belonging to the metabolic pathway that produces butyric acid from allitol are induced. However, the cecal bacteria involved in the anti-obesity effect differed from those involved in butyric acid production.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated several compositional changes in the cecal microbiota and an increase in butyric acid production following dietary allitol supplementation. The anti-obesity effect of allitol was confirmed; however, it was suggested that the butyric acid produced by the intestinal bacteria may not be responsible for this effect.
Multidimensional Analysis of the Impact of Financial Inclusion on Macroeconomic Stability: Evidence from Rwanda, Peru, Chile, and Poland
Authors: Muvunyi Eugene
Published: February 2025

Financial inclusion is defined as the accessibility of financial services within a regulated financial system. Economies enhance and adapt their financial infrastructure to facilitate easier access to credit, thereby supporting GDP growth. This includes improving infrastructure, such as expanding internet coverage in rural areas, to enable efficient use of technology in accessing financial services. Financial inclusion is a mechanism through which individuals can save and access credit at reasonable rates in a regulated financial system, thereby contributing to economic growth. The objective of the research was to examine the impact of financial inclusion on macroeconomic stability, particularly in the context of rising public debt and budget deficits, and economic growth across selected economies. To achieve this, linear dependency models for time series data and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) were applied as an estimation method. The dataset employed for this study was obtained from the International Monetary Fund, the World Development Indicators, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and encompasses four countries Rwanda, Peru, Chile, and Poland from 2008 to 2021. The findings indicate a positive and strong relationship between financial inclusion and macroeconomic stability. However, in the case of Chile, the relationship was found to be moderate, which can be attributed to the indebtedness of the younger population, who often access loans but struggle with repayment.
Differential measure phrases with implicit comparatives in Gitksan
Authors: Aonuki Yurika
Published: February 2025

In most of the literature of degree semantics, whether gradable adjectives receive context-independent or -dependent denotations has been a correlate of whether a language is analyzed as having degrees as semantic primitives (Cresswell 1976; von Stechow 1984; Kennedy 1999) or not (Klein 1980, 1982, 1991). A third logical possibility is to postulate context-dependent yet degree-based denotations of gradable adjectives (Beck, Oda & Sugisaki 2004, Oda 2008 on Japanese; Breakstone 2012, Cariani, Santorio & Wellwood 2023b on English; see also Cariani, Santorio & Wellwood 2023a and Wellwood 2024). I argue that this third option predicts (i) availability of readings of implicit comparison (in Kennedy’s (2007a) sense) in positive constructions when the context provides a degree or entity to serve as the standard and that some implementations of this proposal (Beck et al. 2004; Oda 2008; Breakstone 2012) also predict (ii) compatibility of measure phrases with implicit comparatives. Both are wrong predictions for English, andwhile (ii) is documented in Japanese (e.g., Snyder, Wexler & Das 1995; Beck et al. 2004; Oda 2008), existing evidence for (i) in Japanese (Beck et al. 2004; Oda 2008) is somewhat theory-dependent. I demonstrate that Gitksan (Tsimshianic) exhibits both (i) and (ii), providing support for the idea that degree-based GA denotations can be inherently context-dependent. Being the first systematic description and formal analysis of degree semantics in the Tsimshianic language family, this paper also demonstrates that Gitksan lacks semantic distinction between comparatives and superlatives, and analyzes a degree operator k’aa as a superlative morpheme.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar los factores que influyen en la toma de decisiones financieras en estudiantes de postgrado en la ciudad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, el trabajo de campo se realizó aplicando el método de recolección de datos por medio de encuestas a una muestra de doscientos siete estudiantes de postgrado. La investigación utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo de corte transversal no experimental, aplicando un muestreo no probabilístico. Los hallazgos más importantes mostraron que más de la mitad (53%) de la muestra de estudiantes son del género femenino, el 53% está en el rango de edad de 31 a 40 años y el 82% reside en Santa Cruz. Asimismo, el 56% de los estudiantes recibe sus ingresos del sector privado y el 33% genera un ingreso entre 2.501 a 5.000 bolivianos mensuales. Hay que destacar, que el 41% considera el factor alimentación como prioritario, seguido por un 21% por otros rubros básicos y un 42% destina en promedio de un 10% a 20% de sus ingresos al ahorro. Por el mismo lado, el 32% afirma que el motivo de su ahorro es para afrontar gastos inesperados y un 21% para adquirir una vivienda. Así como también, se identifico que el 71% prefiere resguardar sus ahorros en entidades financieras por medio de cajas de ahorro y más de la mitad (60%) afirma que utiliza herramientas o aplicaciones para el manejo de sus recursos financieros, siendo la más utilizada el Microsoft Excel (41%) y las aplicaciones móviles para celulares (26%). Se concluye que la investigación realizada logró cumplir con el objetivo propuesto, por lo que el mismo servirá a las universidades que ofrecen postgrado para plantear programas o cursos en formación en finanzas personales de acuerdo a las necesidades y particularidades de este grupo de la población, teniendo en cuenta aspectos como la edad, el género y el nivel de ingreso.

The taxonomy of the Afrotropical footman moth genus Archithosia Birket-Smith, 1965 sensu lato is studied and two genus-group names previously considered as subgenera of Archithosia are upgraded to genus level (Acanthosia Krüger, 2015, stat. n. and Architesma Birket-Smith, 1965, stat. n.). The genus-group name Eurythosia Krüger, 2015 erected as a subgenus of Archithosia is synonymised with Architesma. A new genus, nineteen new species and a new subspecies are described: Flavifronthosia gen. n., Acanthosia tryphosa pringlei ssp. n., Acanthosia reducta sp. n., Acanthosia pervolgata sp. n., Acanthosia kruegeri sp. n., Asbolopsyche jiwundu sp. n., Asbolopsyche nyungwe sp. n., Asbolopsyche acanthosioides sp. n., Architesma frondosa sp. n., Architesma nyonie sp. n., Architesma nouabaleana sp. n., Architesma nkwaji sp. n., Architesma diffusa sp. n., Architesma ampullaria sp. n., Architesma bassa sp. n., Architesma turlini sp. n., Architesma odzala sp. n., Architesma ndoki sp. n., Architesma dolgomoides sp. n., Architesma smithi sp. n., and Architesma inermis sp. n. Twelve new combinations are introduced and one species-group taxon is downgraded to subspecies level: Acanthosia tryphosa tryphosa (Kiriakoff, 1958), comb. n., Acanthosia tryphosa duplicata (Birket-Smith, 1965), stat. & comb. n., Acanthosia similis (Birket-Smith, 1965), comb. n., Architesma makomensis (Strand, 1912) (= Eilema fuscicorpus Hampson, 1914), comb. n., Architesma angulifascia (Strand, 1913), comb. n., Architesma jaundeana (Strand, 1912), comb. n., Architesma henricus (Durante, Potenza & Pellegrino, 2024), comb. n., Architesma sordida (Birket-Smith, 1965), comb. n., Macrodicella derelicta (Debauche, 1942), comb. n., Flavifronthosia flavifrontella (Strand, 1912), comb. n., Hyleilema kinuthiae (Kühne, 2007), comb. n., and Coniopsyche gilvafrons (Durante & Panzera, 2002), comb. n. Adults, male and female genitalia are illustrated.
