Idaea nocturna

description: Idaea nocturna species group
Diagnostic characters: Adults with dark ground coloration (especially in males) and diffuse wing pattern. Frons flat, brown. Male antennae with dentate or bipectinate flagellum. Male hindtibia without pencil, tarsus shortened, tarsomeres appearing as fused. Male genitalia with broad uncus and one stout cornutus in the aedeagus. Female genitalia with long ductus bursae, corpus bursae with spinules (‘lamina dentata’) and appendix bursae (cf. Hausmann 2020).
Genetic data (Fig. 1): In an analysis of the COI gene of all Idaea species worldwide, the nocturna species group belongs to a common cluster in a separate position to other representatives of Idaea (Hausmann 2020).
Idaea nocturna (Staudinger 1892) is distributed in the adjacent territories of the “Ferghana basin”: easternmost Uzbekistan (locus typicus), central and south-western Kyrgyzstan, possibly also Tadzhikistan.
Its sister species Idaea zoferata Kaila & Viidalepp, 1996 occurs at the northern edge of the Tian Shan mountain chain: northernmost Uzbekistan, northernmost Kyrgyzstan, south-eastern Kazakhstan (locus typicus). Idaea beata Hausmann, 2020 is, so far, only known from northern Israel (locus typicus), Idaea millesima Hausmann & Prochazka, 2020 only from Greece, southern Peloponnese peninsula (locus typicus).
Idaea medianocturna Hausmann, 2020 is distributed in south-eastern Turkey (locus typicus).
Further information on the morphology and genetic data of all members of this species-group see Hausmann (2020).

Bridging the gap: Experimental evidence on information provision and health insurance choices
Creators: name: Quiroga Gutierrez, Ana Cecilia

Year: 2024

description: Previous research has shown that individuals do not always make rational decisions when selecting their health insurance, for example, due to the existence of information frictions or mental gaps. We study the effect of specific types of information provision for decision support on health plan choices and test their potential to improve decision quality by implementing a randomized laboratory experiment. We provide personalized and generic aids, differentiate between numerical and visual decision support, and provide one or two optional formats of personalized information. We find that generic aids have no effect on health plan choices while personalized information leads to better choices as measured by several indicators of decision quality. The largest effects were observed for those who “opted in” to visualize personalized information, with immediate and lasting improvements in health insurance decisions. By reducing information frictions, our results suggest that accessible and easy-to-use tools can positively impact health insurance navigation, improve decision-making, and reduce switching costs.
The use and limitations of the 16S rRNA sequence for species classification of Anaplasma samples

Anaplasma

description: Expanded availability of high-throughput sequencing has provided new lines of genetic evidence that have resulted in almost twenty new species proposals for the genus Anaplasma since the last formal taxonomic organization of the genus. This thesis evaluates the potential new species of Anaplasma utilizing 16S rRNA sequences from across the Anaplasma genus and provides guidance for further sequencing and data collection. It demonstrates that 16S rRNA sequences must be used with caution when attempting to define species within the genus Anaplasma, and furthermore provides analysis of the available 16S rRNA sequences to determine key bases that allow a sample classification of the traditionally recognized species of Anaplasma.

description: This body of work presents multiple thresholds that offer imaginary access to Void-like spaces, and bodily experiences of these spaces that are felt rather than lived. L'appel du vide is a French idiom that literally translates to "the call of the Void," but more poetically describes intrusive thoughts related to one's immediate surroundings--like standing at the edge of a cliff and imagining, despite oneself, how the ordeal of actually falling might feel. Edge moments like these invite one to live out, mentally, the mortal possibilities presented by the situation. The paintings are not portals, as such, but invite the viewer to experience a thinning of the veil; to brush up against the edge of the unknown, containing everything and nothing. The projection and entryway offer suggestions for what these undefined, liminal spaces may hold.

description: Despite widespread support for Independent Supported Housing (ISH) interventions, psychiatric housing rehabilitation still commonly takes place in residential care facilities (RCFs). This study compares preferences, attitudes and working conditions of mental healthcare professionals (MHCPs) in ISH and RCFs using an online survey. The survey included setting preferences, stress and strain at work, recovery attitudes, stigmatisation, and factors experienced as particularly important or obstructive in housing rehabilitation. Data were analysed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Of the 112 participating MHCPs, 37% worked in ISH and 63% in RCFs. Professionals’ education, work-related demands and influence at work were higher in ISH, stigmatising attitudes were higher in RCFs. MHCPs in both settings endorsed ISH. The support process was seen as particularly important whereas stigmatisation, regulatory and political requirements were seen as obstructive for successful housing rehabilitation. Results indicate that social inclusion of individuals with severe mental illness is seldom feasible without professional support.

description: Nowadays, all kinds of service-based organizations open online feed-back possibilities for customers to share their opinion. Swiss National Railways(SBB) uses Facebook to collect commuters’ feedback and opinions. These cus-tomer feedbacks are highly valuable to make public transportation option morerobust and gain trust of the customer. The objective of this study was to find inter-esting association rules about SBB’s commuters pain points. We extracted thepublicly available FB visitor comments and applied manual text mining by build-ing categories and subcategories on the extracted data. We then applied Apriorialgorithm and built multiple frequent item sets satisfying the minsup criteria. Inter-esting association rules were found. These rules have shown that late trains duringrush hours, deleted but not replaced connections on the timetable due to SBB’stimetable optimization, inflexibility of fines due to unsuccessful ticket purchase,led to highly customer discontent. Additionally, a considerable amount of dis-satisfaction was related to the policy of SBB during the initial lockdown of theCovid-19 pandemic. Commuters were often complaining about lack of efficientand effective measurements from SBB when other passengers were not follow-ing Covid-19 rules like public distancing and were not wearing protective masks.Such rules are extremely useful for SBB to better adjust its service and to be betterprepared by future pandemics.
Optimized planning of gas-electricity interdependent systems with renewable energy integration

Subjects: Hybrid power systems

description: The electric power sector has become the largest consuming sector of the natural gas nowadays. Driven by decreasing prices of natural gas, the increasingly stringent environmental regulation, and the relatively short ramp rates, modularity and scalability of natural gas-fired generations, the majority of new power generating capacity projected for the next decade is expected to utilize natural gas as its primary fuel. However, the increased reliance on natural gas could intensify the electric power systems exposure to shortcomings in natural gas supply and delivery systems. So we need to take into account the natural gas infrastructure in the planning of the power systems. Moreover, the electric power itself is experiencing a great change leaded by the development of digital and information technology. In the supply end, the renewable energy like the wind turbine and solar panel are increased greatly. In the demand end, the demand response program is on the way. Although these technologies have great advantages, like zero-carbon emissions, economic benefit, they also bring many challenges to the traditional electric power system. It add additional variability and uncertainty to the power system, which can pose new challenges for utilities and system operators. Also, the renewable energy tax credit caused by uncertainties of regulatory policies would effect the planning decisions of the investor. In this thesis, a bi-level model is proposed for the investor to make planning decisions in the long term. A single level mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed further in the way of converting bi-level problem to the single level problem with the idea of mathematical programming problem with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition. An 8-bus power system combined with a 6-node natural gas system is employed to demonstrate the essential features of the developed model and method. A highly efficient commercial solver CPLEX is employed to solve the proposal problem. The proposed planning mode can be used by power system planners and regional regulatory authorities to determine and evaluate coordinated planning for electricity and natural gas infrastructures.

description: Im Gäbelbach nahe Bern wurden im Frühjahr 2019 14 Temperatur-Logger platziert, um die Wassertemperaturen an verschiedenen Stellen zu überwachen (Graf, 2019). Dadurch erhoffte man sich, ein besseres Verständnis der Entwicklung der Wassertemperatur in einem kleineren Fliessgewässer zu erlangen, sowie die Eignung dieses Zuflusses des Wohlensees während der sommerlichen Temperaturen als Zufluchtsort für Forellen zu prüfen. Im Sommer 2022 wurden die Daten, die über etwas mehr als drei Jahre erhoben wurden, analysiert (Honegger, 2022). Besonders überrascht hat dabei der Einfluss eines beschatteten Biberdamms auf die Wassertemperatur, welche im zugehörigen Biberteich im Sommer deutlich tiefer und konstanter war als in anderen Bachabschnitten. Zudem war der Kühleffekt des Biberteichs dank eines Zufalls auch flussabwärts messbar.
description: Au printemps 2019, 14 enregistreurs de température ont été placés dans le Gäbelbach près de Berne afin de surveiller la température de l’eau à différents endroits (Graf, 2019). On espérait ainsi avoir une meilleure compréhension de l’évolution de la température de l’eau dans un petit cours d’eau et vérifier si cet affluent du Wohlensee pouvait servir de refuge aux truites pendant les températures estivales. En été 2022, les données collectées depuis un peu plus de trois ans ont été analysées (Honegger, 2022). L’influence d’un barrage de castor ombragé sur la température de l’eau a été particulièrement surprenante, celle-ci étant nettement plus basse et plus constante en été sur le plan d’eau associé au castor que dans d’autres tronçons de cours d’eau. De plus, grâce à un hasard, l’effet de refroidissement du plan d’eau du castor a également pu être mesuré en aval.

description: Previously, heavy use of biocides for the treatment of objects made of organic materials in museum collections (e.g. ethnographic, historical collections) was very common. Now suitable decontamination methods/technologies are being sought. A decontamination treatment by li- CO2 was optimized that considered the specific requirements of museum objects. The treatment was tested on model materials artificially contaminated with biocide solutions containing dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), pentachlorophenol (PCP), lindane, and permethrin or cypermethrin. High decontamination was achieved for DDT, lindane, PCP, and permethrin on artificially biocide loaded wool and wood model materials. Optimal process parameter settings for li-CO2 decontamination include a single 30 min cycle for woolen materials and three sequential 30 min cycles each for wood. These methods allow a reduction of at least 90% of all biocides for wool and between 70% and 85% for wood. Decontamination of the latter was more effective for less polar biocides as DDT and permethrin. Despite a significant improvement in decontamination for wood using co-solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), their use is not recommended due to the increased risk of damage to the objects, in particular if a surface coating is present.

Die Schweiz ist neuropterologisch recht gut untersucht. Es ist daher erstaunlich, dass an einer Stelle und in einer Nacht alle drei Cunctochrysa -Arten ans Licht kamen, von denen eine (C. cosmia) einen Neufund für die Schweiz darstellt, eine andere (C. baetica) einen Zweitfund.
Seit der Klarstellung der taxonomischen Verhältnisse in der Gattung Cunctochrysa (Monserrat et al. 2014, Monserrat 2016) werden wohl in Europa vielerorts weitere Funde von C. cosmia auftreten. Die Art lebt fast ausschliesslich auf Pinus -Arten, in Mitteleuropa vor allem auf Pinus sylvestris L. (Dobosz & Jungkiert 2018). Die bisher in Koniferenwäldern oft mit C. cosmia verwechselte Chrysopa nigricostata scheint dagegen vor allem auf Pappeln und anderen Laubbäumen zu leben (Monserrat 2016). Der Fundort sagt also schon sehr viel aus über die Identität der beiden Arten. Da C. bellifontensis für die Schweiz nicht gemeldet war, steigt mit der neuen C. cosmia die Liste der Schweizer Neuropterida auf 119 Arten. Ob die viel kleinere mediterrane C. baetica schon lange in der Schweiz lebt oder ihr Verbreitungsgebiet aufgrund der Klimaerwärmung ausdehnen konnte, lässt sich erst mit einiger Sicherheit sagen, wenn alle alten Sammlungen auf C. baetica untersucht sind.

description: The conversion of tropical forests to croplands and grasslands is a major threat to global biodiversity, climate and local livelihoods and ecosystems. The enforcement of protected areas as well as the clarification and strengthening of collective and individual land property rights are key instruments to curb deforestation in the tropics. However, these instruments are territorial and can displace forest loss elsewhere. We investigate the effects of protected areas and various land tenure regimes on deforestation and possible spillover effects in Bolivia, a global tropical deforestation hotspot. We use a spatial Durbin model to assess and compare the direct and indirect effects of protected areas and different land tenure forms on forest loss in Bolivia from 2010 to 2017. We find that protected areas have a strong direct effect on reducing deforestation. Protected areas - which in Bolivia are all based on co-management schemes - also protect forests in adjacent areas, showing an indirect protective spillover effect. Indigenous lands however only have direct forest protection effects. Non-indigenous collective lands and small private lands, which are associated to Andean settlers, as well as non-titled lands, show a strong positive direct effect on deforestation. At the same time, there is some evidence that non-indigenous collective lands also encourage deforestation in adjacent areas, indicating the existence of spillovers. Interestingly, areas with high poverty rate tend to be less affected by deforestation whatever tenure form. Our study stresses the need to assess more systematically the direct and indirect effects of land tenure and of territorial governance instruments on land use changes.

description: This paper presents a first empirical assessment of carnivore conservation under a performance payment scheme. In Sweden, reindeer herder villages are paid based on the number of lynx (lynx lynx) and wolverine (gulo gulo) offspring certified on their pastures. The villages decide on the internal payment distribution. It is generally assumed that benefit distribution rules are exogenous. We investigate them as an endogenous decision. The data reveals that villages’ group size has a direct negative effect on conservation outcomes and an indirect positive effect which impacts conservation outcomes through the benefit distribution rule. This result revises the collective action hypothesis on purely negative effects of group size.
Insight into memory and functional abilities in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment

description: Objective: The current study aimed to add to the sparse existing literature on insight in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) by assessing self-awareness, self-monitoring, and a new self-updating construct of insight in individuals with aMCI. Understanding the degree of insight that individuals with cognitive impairment have into their abilities is important, as insight promotes engagement in rehabilitation and implementation of compensatory strategies. Method: A performance discrepancy paradigm was used to assess insight into verbal memory abilities and functional abilities. Individuals with aMCI and healthy older adults (HOAs) completed a list-learning task in a laboratory setting, and a naturalistic task of everyday functioning in a campus apartment. Participants made predictions about performance on these tasks prior to task experience (self-awareness), immediately after task experience (self-monitoring), and after a delay (self-updating). Results: Individuals with aMCI exhibited intact self-awareness, exhibiting insight into how their memory difficulties might impact their performance relative to an age-normed peer and HOAs by predicting their performance accordingly. They successfully self-monitored while engaging in the tasks, improving the accuracy of their predictions following task experience similar to HOAs. Furthermore, they were able to maintain this improved accuracy in predictions over a long delay, indicating an ability to self-update. Correlations among the insight constructs suggested that information learned about task success and failure during the task was related to an updated self-concept that differed from pre-experience beliefs about the self. Exploratory correlations revealed that constructs of insight were not related to neuropsychological domains of interest, indicating different processes may underlie these domains and metamemory abilities related to insight. Discussion: For both memory and functional task abilities, when compared to HOAs, individuals with aMCI exhibited intact self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-updating. Further, these constructs of insight remained intact despite the aMCI group exhibiting poorer performance on neurocognitive tests, suggesting self-reported cognitive complaints are likely to be accurate. These findings suggest that, even as memory and executive systems degrade in aMCI, connections between brain regions may allow insight into difficulties to remain intact prior to decline into dementia, enabling adoption of cognitive strategies to ameliorate the difficulties they are experiencing due to aMCI.

Subjects: Writing Assistants Writing Support Tools Artificial Intelligence Language Models Design Space

description: In our era of rapid technological advancement, the research landscape for writing assistants has become increasingly fragmented across various research communities. We seek to address this challenge by proposing a design space as a structured way to examine and explore the multidimensional space of intelligent and interactive writing assistants. Through community collaboration, we explore five aspects of writing assistants: task, user, technology, interaction, and ecosystem. Within each aspect, we define dimensions and codes by systematically reviewing 115 papers, while leveraging the expertise of researchers in various disciplines. Our design space aims to offer researchers and designers a practical tool to navigate, comprehend, and compare the various possibilities of writing assistants, and aid in the design of new writing assistants.

description: Genus Poliaspoides MacGillivray
Natalaspis MacGillivray, 1921: 309. Type species: Chionaspis simplex Green. Subsequently designated by Ferris, 1938: 71. Poliaspoides MacGillivray, 1938: 71. Type species: Odonaspis simplex formosana. Subsequently designated by Ben-Dov & Takagi, 1974: 45.
Diagnosis: body elongate, antennae with 2 setae, pygidium and lateral areas of prepygidial segments sclerotised, pygidium slightly rounded with crenulated margin; plates, lobes, spines, marginal sclerosis absent; ducts scattered; dorsal ducts on pygidium larger than ventral ducts; with or without perivulvar pores in 5 groups.
At present, the genus Poliaspoides includes three species: P. formosana (Takahashi), P. simplex (Green) and P. leptocarpi (Brittin). Of these, P. formosana and P. simplex were collected off bamboos (Poaceae) whereas P. leptocarpi is monophagous on Apodasmia (= Leptocarpus) similis (Restinaceae), which is endemic to New Zealand (Henderson, 2011). With regard to their distribution, P. formosana and P. simplex are Asiatic species, the first having been recorded from China, Malaysia, Philippines and Taiwan and introduced into some Indian Ocean islands (Mauritius, Reunion) and African countries (Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa) (Takagi, 1995; Ben- Dov et al., 2012), whilst the latter is known only from India and Sri Lanka. P. leptocarpi is currently restricted to New Zealand.

description: The pervasive presence of software vulnerabilities has constituted a grand challenge to software assurance. In response, researchers have proposed numerous detection techniques to defend against particular types of vulnerabilities. However, there is a lack of objective measurement and comparison of these techniques. Thus it is difficult to systematically understand their strengths and limitations. In this thesis, we performed a fair comparison of five popular memory vulnerability detectors against two benchmark suites with ground truths. The first benchmark suite, Software-Analysis-Benchmark, was artificially generated, while the other benchmark, SV-Benchmark was partially obtained from real software, whose benchmarks were more complex and challenging. We reported the empirical findings based on the comparisons of precision, recall, F1 accuracy, and time cost of the studied detectors against the two benchmark suites. The results revealed that, while generally fast, these detectors achieved 87% F1 accuracy at best against the Software-AnalysisBenchmark, which was generated artificially, while they achieved 72% F1 accuracy at best against SV-Benchmark, which was partially obtained from real-world software. We further conducted in-depth case studies to understand the reasons behind the failures and successes of these existing techniques. We also compared the results and findings from the two benchmark suites to analyze the impact of benchmark selection. Finally, we provide in-depth discussions and recommendations for future studies.

Impact of leached ettringite stability and transformation on incorporated iodine retention

Subjects: Ettringite

description: Ettringite [Ca6Al2(SO4)3(OH)12·26H2O] found in cementitious waste forms (CWFs) is known to immobilize iodate (IO3-) via sulfate (SO42-) substitution, yet poor iodine retention in CWFs for nuclear waste storage remains a challenge. In this study, ettringite mineral transformation and iodine release from IO3--incorporated ettringite ((IO3-)-Ett) was investigated to determine the mechanisms driving IO3- release in environmentally relevant solutions of varying composition, pH, and alkalinity. (IO3-)-Ett was leached in six simulated solutions relevant to the Hanford Site (Washington State, USA) for a period of 56 days: DDI, 24 ppm CO32-, 1400 ppm SO42-, Hanford groundwater, Hanford vadose zone porewater and a cement equilibrated solution. By monitoring IO3- uptake and removal and characterizing changes in the solid material, incongruent dissolution of ettringite to calcite and oxyanion substitution into the ettringite structure (e.g. SO42- or CO32-) were identified as IO3- release mechanisms. In general, higher concentrations of SO42- and CO32-, and lower alkalinity and pH, result in greater iodine release. However, the formation of secondary minerals, e.g., calcite, may re-incorporate IO3- (pH < 10). These results provide valuable insight into iodine release from CWFs that may be used to improve current CWF formulations for the treatment of iodine-containing nuclear waste.

description: Apex felids play a key role in ecological communities through the direct and indirect effects of predation and the temporal and spatial distribution of animal carcasses. Carcasses directly influence a wide range of ecological processes, both above and below ground. These effects include provisioning of scavenger communities, altering of microbial and decomposer communities, and changes to ecosystem dynamics. A decomposing animal carcass is a nutrient-rich resource that alters soil biochemical processes, which can have significant effects on plant communities. Apex felid predators have been shown to positively affect scavenger and invertebrate communities; however, the effects of felid-produced animal carcasses on soil and plant nitrogen (N) composition have not been examined. Here we documented the relationship between ungulate carcasses created by mountain lions (Puma concolor) on soil dynamics and plant forage quality in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Our examination of 172 carcasses revealed that carcass decomposition significantly altered soil N composition over a 3 year period, which resulted in [delta]15N enrichment of soils and nearby plants. To highlight the contribution of nutrient rich ungulate carcasses to trophic processes we used 15 years of GPS data to predict areas of high carcass deposition, and data on kill rates and density to quantify overall deposition rates. Mountain lion kills were concentrated in fairly restricted areas of the landscape with favorable conditions for kills (e.g., lower elevation, southernly aspects, steeper slopes and forested cover types). We estimated the total ungulate carcass biomass in our 2,734 km2 study area as 120,530 kg/year. Taken together, our results reveal the long lasting effects of ungulate carcasses created by mountain lions on soil and plant chemistry, and suggest that mountain lions, through their actions as top predators, create numerous 'hotspots' of nutrient inputs from carcasses that are highly concentrated in small areas of the landscape. Our research adds to the growing literature regarding carcass resources and its implications on ecosystem dynamics, and highlights contributions of mountain lions to spatio-temporal variability in ecosystem processes at a landscape-scale.

description: Der theoretische Ansatz „User Involvement“ hat sich - anders als in der Schweiz - in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern in der Forschung, Praxis und Ausbildung der Sozialen Arbeit in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren etabliert. Vorliegender Artikel will diesen Ansatz für den Schweizer Kontext anschlussfähig machen, indem der Ansatz „User Involvement“ anhand zentraler Begrifflichkeiten aus dem europäischen Diskurs deskriptiv analytisch vorgestellt und innerhalb von diesem kritisch reflektiert wird. Da Partizipationsansätze in unterschiedlichen Handlungsfeldern der Sozialen Arbeit in der Schweiz stark verbreitet sind, wird in einem zweiten Schritt das Rollenverständnis von Adressaten der Sozialen Arbeit an diese angeknüpft. Die dahinterstehende Absicht besteht darin, eine idealtypische Diskussionsgrundlage für die Anschlussfähigkeit des Ansatzes User Involvement für den Schweizer Kontext bereitzustellen.
