Breddin's types of Ochlerus (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae, Discocephalinae).
Authors: Simões Felipe L. , Campos Luiz Alexandre
Published: December 2020

Mehr als ein Jahrhundert nachdem Gustav Breddin die Typusexemplare der Pentatomiden-Gattung Ochlerus Spinola, 1837 beschrieben hatte, werden sie hier überarbeitet. Aufgrund unglücklicher Umstände konnte Breddin sein Manuskript nicht selbst vollenden. Das führte vermutlich zur Falschetikettierung des Typenmaterials und zur Änderung der Institutionen, wo es aufbewahrt werden sollte. Die Typen werden den folgenden Arten zugeordnet: Ochlerus bergrothi, O. bistillatus, O. communis, O. cotylophorus, O. dentijugis, O. handlirschi, O. incisulus, O. notatulus, O. profanus, O. rusticus, O. signoreti, O. stylulatus und O. tenuicornis. Das Männchen O. tenuicornis wird in die neue Art Ochlerus breddini übertragen.StichwörterHeteroptera, Ochlerini, stink bug, Phytomonas, palm trees.Nomenklatorische Handlungenbergrothi Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTbreddini Simões & Campos, 2015 (Ochlerus), spec. n.communis Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTdentijugis Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LThandlirschi Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTnotatulus Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTprofanus Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTrusticus Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTsignoreti Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LTstylulatus Breddin, 1910 (Ochlerus), LT
Cocoon morphology of the cockroach-hunting apoid wasp Ampulex compressa (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera, Ampulicidae).
Authors: Buys Sandor Christiano
Published: December 2020

Die hier beschriebene Morphologie des Kokons der Schaben jagenden apoiden Wespe Ampulex compressa (Fabricius, 1781) (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae) basiert auf fünf unter einem binokularen Mikroskop untersuchten Kokons. Dies ist die erste detaillierte Beschreibung des Kokons von Ampuliciden. Das untersuchte Material wurde von unter Laborbedingungen gehaltenen Wespen gewonnen. Als Wirte wurden Tiere der Art Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Blattaria: Blattidae) genutzt. Die Larven bauen ihren Kokon innerhalb des Exoskeletts des Wirts. Er besteht aus drei Kapseln. Die äußere und mittlere Kapsel werden durch strukturell unterschiedliche Seidenfäden gebildet. Die innere Kapsel wird hingegen von einer spröden Substanz ohne unterscheidbare Seidenfäden gebildet. Kokons von A. compressa unterscheiden sich morphologisch von denen der Arten der verwandten Familien Sphecidae und Crabronidae. Vielleicht stellt diese komplexe und verfestigte Struktur eine Art von mechanischer Barriere dar, die in Verbindung mit dem antimikrobiellen Mundsekret der Larven als Schutz gegen antagonistische Mikroben fungiert.StichwörterImmature stage, larvae, life history, taxonomy, biology, Sphecidae, Crabronidae.

The life-history of Aprosthema tardum (Klug, 1814) (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinoidea, Argidae)
Authors: Liston Andrew D. , Kan Pieter , Kan-van Limburg Stirum Brigitte
Published: December 2020

Aprosthema species are usually rarely found. In recent years, in southern France, relatively strong populations of A. tardum were detected, which allowed observations on the behaviour and development of the species to be made. The host plant in the study area is Lathyrus latifolius (Leguminosae). As in a few other Aprosthema species, whose development has been previously investigated in northern Europe, A. tardum is bivoltine, although a partial third generation may occur in southern Europe under favourable weather conditions. Adults display seasonal dimorphism, similar to that already described for A. melanurum. Individuals which overwinter make stronger cocoons in the soil (winter cocoons), whereas the more loosely spun cocoons (summer cocoons) of individuals which complete their whole development in a single season are usually found on aerial parts of the host, or plants of other species growing near to the host. The head behind the eyes is more strongly developed in adults which emerge from winter cocoons. A few individuals of A. tardum in the first generation, which normally form summer cocoons, make winter cocoons and enter prolonged diapause, like almost all larvae of the second generation. During oviposition the valvulae 3 are deployed so that their inner surfaces are in very close contact with the leaf epidermis. We suggest that this behaviour is connected to the presence of spines on the valvula inner surface. The latter are found in many argid sawflies, but not in other families of Palaearctic Tenthredinoidea, in which the valvulae have not been observed to be used in a similar way.
Revision of the Baeoglena species of the West Palaearctic Region (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae)
Authors: Assing Volker
Published: December 2020

The subgenus Baeoglena Thomson, 1867 of the speciose aleocharine genus Oxypoda Mannerheim, 1830 has been subject to considerable taxonomic confusion rendering a reliable identification of material from regions other than Central Europe and the Canary Islands virtually impossible. Based on a revision of abundant material from various major public and private collections, seven species are distributed in the West Palaearctic region exclusive of the Canary Islands. Two new species are described and illustrated: Oxypoda (Baeoglena) rectacia spec. nov. (East Mediterranean, from South Greece to the Middle East) and O. (B.) derecta spec. nov. (West Caucasus, Northeast Anatolia). Diagnoses and illustrations of the genitalia are provided for the remaining five species. The following synonymies are established: Oxypoda nova Bernhauer, 1902 = O. giachinoi Pace, 2001, syn. nov.; O. hispanica Fagel, 1958 and its replacement name O. inexpectata Fagel, 1965 are removed from synonymy with O. praecox Erichson, 1839 and synonymized with O. fusina Mulsant & Rey, 1875. Oxypoda recondita Kraatz, 1856 and O. dalmatina Bernhauer, 1905 are excluded from Baeoglena and moved to the subgenus Bessopora Thomson, 1859. Lectotypes are designated for Oxypoda nova Bernhauer, 1902, O. caucasica Bernhauer, 1902, and O. kuehnelti Scheerpeltz, 1963. An outline of the taxonomic history, a diagnosis of the subgenus, a checklist, and a key to species are provided. A zoogeographic analysis revealed some remarkably discontinuous distributions and parapatric distribution patterns which are plausibly explained only with interspecific competition among Baeoglena species. The distributions of the subgenus as a whole and of the individual species in the West Palaearctic region are mapped.

Q wie QVONDAM. Zu zwei Grabinschriften aus dem römischen Köln.
Authors: Kakoschke Andreas
Published: December 2020

Zusammenfassung:In den römischen Grabinschriften CIL XIII 8356 und 8267b aus Köln muss entgegen der gängigen Meinung der Forschung der Buchstabe Q jeweils als q(uondam) gelesen werden,nicht als Q(uinti filia),   oder . Die Wendung wurde oftmals mit einem Q wiedergegeben und manchmal zwischen dem Gentiliz und dem Cognomen platziert. Nördlich der Alpen findet sich quondam vor allem in Pannonien. Abstract:In two stone inscriptions from Cologne (CIL XIII 8356 and 8267b) dating to the Romanperiod, one should read Q as q(uondam), instead of Q(uinti filia),  or . The letter was often written as Q and somtimes placed between the gentilnomen and the cognomen. North of the alps quondam is know especially in Pannonia.

Pollination, Crop Productivity, and Arthropod and Bird Communities Are Marginally Impacted by Border Vegetation in Highbush Blueberry Production
Authors: Smith Olivia M. , Gerdeman Beverly , Arrington Matthew , Spitler Hollis , DeVetter Lisa Wasko
Published: December 2020

Herbaceous flowering or woody plant borders adjacent to highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) fields have the potential to benefit both native pollinators and species of predatory and parasitic arthropods and birds that feed on key highbush blueberry pests, such as spotted wing drosophila [SWD (Drosophila suzukii)]. However, they may also draw pollinators away from the crop, serve as overwintering and/or refugia sites for SWD, and increase the abundance of wild birds that feed on fruit and harbor foodborne pathogens. The objective of this 1-year, observational study was to explore the potential impacts of border vegetation adjacent to commercial highbush blueberry fields on pollination, crop productivity, and arthropod and bird communities within the Pacific Northwest region in the United States. The study included three highbush blueberry cultivars (Duke, Draper, and Liberty), and three field border vegetation treatments: 1) woody perennial vegetation; 2) herbaceous vegetation; and 3) medium-height grasses (control). There was one border treatment per cultivar for a total of nine sites. No cultivar effects nor interactions for any of the variables were detected, so results were combined across cultivars. No differences in pollinator abundance, pollinator visitation rates, estimated yield, berry weight, and seed number were observed across the treatments. Herbaceous borders had more natural enemies than the woody perennial borders, but both were similar to the control. This trend is attributed to higher abundances of parasitic wasps (suborder Apocrita) in the herbaceous and control borders compared with the woody perennial borders. Increased abundances of aphids (family Aphididae), a host for parasitic wasps, likely influenced these results. Differences in predatory arthropods were not observed. Insect abundances were overall low in all field sites measured in this study, likely influenced by SWD insecticide applications. There were no differences in total wild bird density by treatment except for barn swallows (Hirundo rustica), which were greatest in the control treatment. Overall, the border treatments evaluated in this study had small-to-negligible impacts on the measured variables, and there was no clear crop production benefit. Additionally, none of the investigated border treatments negatively impacted highbush blueberry production. Taken together, border vegetation treatments can provide benefits such as reducing pesticide drift, deterring trespassers, and serving as a windbreak; but any potential benefits from a pollination or biocontrol aspect are likely diminished due to current SWD management practices.
Unbiased estimator modeling in unrelated dichotomous randomized response
Authors: Adediran Adetola Adedamola , Adebola Femi Barnabas , Ewemooje Olusegun Sunday
Published: December 2020

The unrelated design has been shown to improve the efficiency of a randomized response method and reduces respondents’ suspicion. In the light of this, the paper proposes a new Unrelated Randomized Response Model constructed by incorporating an unrelated question into the alternative unbiased estimator in the dichotomous randomized response model proposed by Ewemooje in 2019. An unbiased estimate and variance of the model are thus obtained. The variance of the proposed model decreases as the proportion of the sensitive attribute π_A and the unrelated attribute π_U increases, in contrast to the earlier Ewemooje model, whose variance increases as the proportion of the sensitive attribute increases. The relative efficiency of the proposed model over the earlier Ewemooje model decreases as π_U increases when 0.1≤π_A≤ 0.3 and increases as π_U increases when 0.35≤π_A≤ 0.45. Application of the proposed model also revealed its efficiency over the direct method in estimating the prevalence of examination malpractices among university students;the direct method gave an estimate of 19.0%, compared to the proposed method’s estimate of 23.0%. Hence, the proposed model is more efficient than the direct method and the earlier Ewemooje model as the proportion of people belonging to the sensitive attribute increases.
Flow management system for maximising business revenue and profitability
Authors: Zawada Piotr , Okrasa Włodzimierz , Warchalowski Jack
Published: December 2020

Most for-profit organisations must constantly improve their business strategies and approaches to remain competitive. Many of them choose to embark on Lean or Six Sigma journeys with the intention of maximising productivity and increasing sales. Despite a significant progress in the development of the Big 3 Improvement Methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints – TOC), many manufacturers are still involved in ineffective operations, resulting in longer-than-desired lead times, late deliveries, high inventories and considerable operational costs. All of these business errors seriously challenge the company’s competitiveness. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the importance of effective analysis of maintaining the appropriate level of inventory in gaining a competitive advantage of the company using the company’s key resources in the competitive struggle on the market while conducting continuous reporting of reasons for not achieving the assumed business goals, and using the principles of the economy of bandwidth in order to maximize the profitability.
The Influence of Sustainable Earnings on Stock Price: Evidence from Publicly Listed Vietnamese Business Enterprises
Authors: Do Nhung Hong , Pham Nha Van Tue
Published: December 2020

Expected earnings and stock price are important determinants of investors’ decision. This research is conducted to estimate earnings persistence and examine the relationship between sustainable earnings on price-to-earning (P/E) ratio based on financial statements’ information of 631 publicly listed non-financial companies on Vietnam’s stock market, by using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Logit function. The results show that earnings persistence depends on net operating assets growth, profit margin changes, operating asset turnover changes and past profitability. Besides, both the sustainable and unsustainable components of earnings growth are proved to empirically affect P/E ratio, even though investors underreact to sustainable earnings and overreact to unsustainable earnings. This study helps to improve investors’ perception of their future earnings, investment value and companies’ sustainable growth, particularly in the context of developing stock market of Vietnam which is full of market anomalies.
You Can’t Kill a Kianda: A Reading of Pepetela’s “Magias do Mar”
Authors: De Melo Anita
Published: December 2020

In the present essay, I analyze “Magias do Mar,” a short story published in 2017 by Angolan writer Pepetela. Drawing from the Angolan myth of Kianda, a mythological creature believed to be the goddess of the ocean, Pepetela’s narrative evokes animism in a manner that parallels Harry Garuba’s observations on contemporary African thought. I reflect on Garuba’s work and examine how animism in “Magias do Mar” works to challenge colonial and modern Western epistemologies and practices. Of particular interest is the narrative’s reflection on the extermination of African wildlife through hunting. I conclude by arguing that Pepetela’s use of animism in “Magias do Mar” has significant implications for postcolonial ecocritical analysis.
Intersections of Empire, Post-Empire, and Diaspora: De-Imperializing Lusophone Studies
Authors: Bastos Cristiana
Published: December 2020

The present article opens with a generic plea for the de-imperialization of Lusophone studies. A de-imperial turn should allow researchers to explore more thoroughly the experiences of diaspora and exile that an empire-centered history and its spin-offs have obfuscated; it should also help to de-essentialize depictions of Portuguese heritage and culture shaped by these narratives. Such a turn promises to address the multiple identifications, internal diversities, and racialized inequalities produced by the making and unmaking of empire. My contribution consists of a few ethnographic-historic case studies collected at the intersections of empire, post-empire, and diaspora. These include nineteenthcentury diasporic movements that brought Portuguese subjects to competing empires; past and present celebrations of heritage in diasporic contexts; culture wars around representations; and current directions in post-imperial celebrations and reparations.
Elizabeth Bishop's Brazil: An Attraction in Difference
Authors: Winterbottom Tom
Published: December 2020

The correspondence of Elizabeth Bishop during her years in Brazil with fellow poet Robert Lowell shed light not only on her personal impressions and experience there but also on the broader atmosphere of Brazil in the 1950s and 60s. The abundant letters show an intimacy that Bishop was willing to explore in personal correspondence that was not readily forthcoming in her published poetry. The present essay analyzes that correspondence alongside the few poems Bishop wrote in or about Brazil to understand her pursuit of belonging and happiness that found an unlikely home—and a tragic end—in and around Rio de Janeiro for almost twenty years. Bishop’s trajectory from love to loss and happiness to tragedy intimately interacts, this essay argues, with changes in midcentury Brazil, from the national development pursued by Vargas and Kubitschek, including the building of Brasília, to the fallout from the 1964 military coup and beyond.
Digital Twins for Cities: A State of the Art Review
Authors: Ketzler Bernd , Naserentin Vasilis , Latino Fabio , Zangelidis Christopher , Thuvander Liane , Logg Anders
Published: December 2020

During the last decades, a variety of digital tools have been developed to support both the planning and management of cities, as well as the inclusion of civic society. Here, the concept of a Digital Twin – which is rapidly emerging throughout many disciplines due to advances
in technology, computational capacities and availability of large amounts of data – plays an important role. In short, a digital twin is a living virtual model, a connected digital representation of a physical system and has been a central concept in the manufacturing industry for the
past decades. In this article, we review the terminology of digital twins for cities and identify commonalities and relations to the more established term 3D city models. Our findings indicate an increasing use of the term digital twin in academic literature, both in general and in the context
of cities and the built environment. We find that while there is as yet no consensus on the exact definition of what constitutes a digital twin, it is increasingly being used to describe something that is more than a 3D city model (including, e.g. semantic data, real-time sensor data, physical
models, and simulations). At the same time, the term has not yet replaced the term 3D city model as the most dominant term in the 3D GIS domain. By looking at grey literature we discuss how digital twins for cities are implemented in practice and present examples of digital twins in a global
perspective. Further, we discuss some of the application areas and potential challenges for future development and implementation of digital twins for cities. We conclude that there are significant opportunities for up-scaling digital twins, with the potential to bring benefits to the city
and its citizens and clients.

Analisis Faktor Penghambat TPACK Subdomain CK dan TPK pada Calon Guru Biologi UNNES
Authors: Uningal Rayi
Published: December 2020

Abstract Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan keterlaksanaan praktek mengajar terkait CK dan TPK pada calon guru Biologi UNNES serta mengetahui faktor penghambat kemampuan CK dan TPK sebagai bagian dari kemampuan TPACK pada calon guru Biologi UNNES. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen angket Content Representation oleh Loughran et al. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa calon guru biologi UNNES angkatan 2016 banyak memilih materi pada kelas X dan kelas XI karena menganggap merupakan materi yang masih awal, materi dasar dengan tingkat kesulitan yang tidak terlalu besar. Calon guru biologi UNNES lebih menekankan pada penguasaan fakta dan konsep biologi serta kurang terlatih merencanakan pembelajaran biologi yang sesuai dengan hakekat sains. Media pembelajaran yang digunakan berupa media PPT serta melakukan penayangan video dan gambar.

Settlement of Industrial Relations Disputes and Termination of Work Relations according to the Applicable Legislation
Authors: Pramono Agus
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the settlement of industrial relations disputes and termination of employment according to the applicable laws. Industrial relations disputes can be divided into two types: disputes over rights and disputes over interests. The relationship between workers and employers is a relationship that needs each other; workers need wages, employers benefit. However, in practice there are problems, so employers give Warning Letters I and II which are followed by Termination of Employment (PHK). The process of resolving this problem can be carried out through Bipartite, Mediation, or to the Industrial Relations Court. This paper is written with a normative juridical approach. The results show that the labor-employer problem is getting more complicated since the existence of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, one of which contains the elimination of the city / district minimum wage (UMK) and replaced with the provincial minimum wage (UMP). The elimination of MSEs results in lower wages for workers. In fact, in the Manpower Act Number 13 of 2003, no worker may receive a wage below the minimum wage, because the determination of wages is based on the calculation of Living Needs.

Artikel ini membahas mengenai penyelesaian perselisihan hubungan industrial dan pemutusan hubungan kerja menurut perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Perselisihan hubungan industrial menurut jenisnya dapat dibagi menjadi dua: perselisihan hak dan perselisihan kepentingan. Hubungan pekerja dan pengusaha merupakan hubungan yang saling membutuhkan; buruh memerlukan upah, pengusaha mendapatkan keuntungan. Namun, dalam prakteknya terjadi permasalahan, sehingga pengusaha memberikan Surat Peringatan I dan II yang diikuti dengan Pemutusan Hubugan Kerja (PHK). Proses penyelesaian persoalan ini dapat dilakukan melalui Bipartit, Mediasi, atau ke Pengadilan Hubungan Industrial. Tulisan ini ditulis dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa permasalahan buruh-pengusaha semakin pelik seja hadirnya Undang-Undang Omnibus Law Cipta Lapangan Kerja yang salah satu isinya penghapusan upah minimum kota/kabupaten (UMK) dan diganti dengan upah minimum provinsi (UMP). Penghapusan UMK membuat upah pekerja lebih rendah. Padahal, dalam Undang-Undang Ketenagakerjaan Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tak boleh ada pekerja yang mendapat upah di bawah upah minimum, karena penetapan upah didasarkan atas perhitungan Kebutuhan Layak Hidup.

Poor waste management in the Kathmandu valley has deteriorated the water quality of surface and groundwater sources. The objective of this study was to assess the status of water quality (WQ) in drinking water sources of groundwater and municipal supply (tap water) from the Bagmati river basin in Kathmandu valley. A total of 52 water samples from deep tube-well, tube-well, dug-well, and tap water were collected and analyzed for physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters using standard methods. The results revealed that chloride, total hardness (TH), copper, nitrate, sulfate, and turbidity were within the recommendations of the National Drinking Water Quality Standard (NDWQS). Total coliform (TC) bacteria in 84.6% of the samples exceeded drinking water guidelines. Similarly, the isolates of different enteric bacteria, namely Escherichia coli (21.5%), Citrobacter spp. (20.9%), Klebsiella spp. (19.8%), Proteus spp. (13.9%), Enterobacter spp. (8.72%), Salmonella spp. (5.8%), Shigella spp. (5.2%), and Pseudomonas (4.1%) were identified in the samples collected from the respective sources. Out of the 52 water samples, 7.7% of samples had fecal contamination of somatic coliphage. The groundwater and municipal water supply in the study area are not safe for drinking purposes. Treatment of water is required before its use for household applications.

Tem sido frequentes e cada vez mais numerosos os encaminhamentos advindos da educação direcionados a profissionais da saúde de crianças com supostas dificuldades na apropriação da leitura e da escrita. Contudo, cabe indagar, mediante tais dificuldades, quais vêm sendo as experiências educacionais vivenciadas por essas crianças nessas modalidades de linguagem, e como os discursos escolares vêm constituindo os seus modos de aprender. Por isso, este estudo objetivou discutir o efeito de práticas e discursos no processo educacional de uma criança com suposta dificuldade de leitura e escrita. Verificamos que práticas e discursos medicalizantes foram adotados para justificar o “não aprender”, isentando a equipe pedagógica de assumir um papel mais ativo no processo educacional e fortalecendo o processo de medicalização. Para tanto, o estudo aponta para a necessidade do enfrentamento de tais práticas e discursos por meio de parcerias responsivas ativas entre a Fonoaudiologia e a Educação que visem promover práticas possíveis aos diversos modos de construção de conhecimento, de apropriação da leitura e da escrita e aos diferenciados ritmos dos sujeitos, sendo a escola considerada o espaço potente para essa construção.
