Comments and variability. A study of extensive material has shown that there are no reliable characters allowing to distinguish O. (P.) depressum Klug, 1853 from O. (P.) multiguttatum Chaudoir, 1850. There is a general tendency for individuals in southern Africa to be lighter in color and to have slightly flattened intervals on the disc of elytra (Figs 17–19). The specimens from Angola usually show elytral sides not serrated or less than in other populations. The sclerite of bursa copulatrix is identical to that of O. (P.) depressum (Figs 39–41). The new status is proposed here.
Distribution. Angola, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa (Fig 57).

description: Genus Nipponocalisius gen. nov.
(Figs. 1–8)
Nipponocalisius: Heiss (2023: 117). Unavailable in lack of description.
Type species: Nipponocalisius ishikawanus sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Macropterous (body length 2.50–3.10 mm) or brachypterous (body length 1.85–2.40 mm); general habitus ovate; clypeus elevated medially, fused with rim-like, dilated, lamellate genae, apices beset with tubercles; antennae usually about as long as, sometimes (in N. ishikawanus sp. nov.) longer than width of head, segment III slightly longer than II, IV longest and thickest; segment IV with variable number of plaques, but partly difficult to detect; pronotum transverse, with two pairs of longitudinal carinae, lateral ones shorter, joining median ones on anterior lobe; scutellum triangularly elevated at base with at least two pairs of large tubercles, lateral ones overlapping pronotum; lateral margins and median carina granulate or beset with tubercles; surface deeply punctured, with variable but specific colour pattern; lateral margins of deltg II–VII with a dorsal and a subventral row of three round or conical tubercles on each segment; transverse sclerite of tergite VIII exposed and visible from above in males and females.
Nipponocalisius gen. nov. is recognized at once by the rim-like, expanded genae (Fig. 11a); this character alone readily differentiates it from all genera of Calisiinae (as in Fig. 16a). The genus most closely related to it is apparently Aradosyrtis; it is distinguished from the latter by the combination of the characters presented above.

description: Themenheft "Ethnicity and public service. How the state deals with ethnic differences" in der Zeitschrift "Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Soziologie" Dem Verhältnis von «Ethnizität und öffentlicher Verwaltung» kommt besondere gesellschaftliche und politische Relevanz zu. Der (national-)staatliche Verwaltungsapparat schafft spezifische soziale Realitäten, indem er ethnische Kategorien (re-)produziert, programmatisch aktualisiert und institutionell verankert. Wie wird Ethnizität in unterschiedlichen Bereichen der öffentlichen Verwaltung thematisiert und wie organisieren ethnische Unterschiede das Verwaltungsgeschehen mit? Lässt sich Ethnizität tatsächlich als ein signifikantes oder wirkmächtiges Ordnungsprinzip von öffentlichen Verwaltungen oder staatlichem Handeln identifizieren? Staatliche Einrichtungen verwalten den Zugang zu vielfältigen Ressourcen. Sie erbringen dabei nicht nur Zuwendungen oder Dienstleistungen auf freiwilliger Basis, sondern verfügen häufig auch über besondere Eingriffsrechte, um rechtsstaatliche Vorgaben mit Zwang durchzusetzen. Ethnische Unterscheidungen sind hier von grosser Tragweite, besonders auch in Form von «negativen Klassifikationen», die mit benachteiligenden oder stigmatisierenden Dominanz-Effekten einhergehen können. Die Beiträge im Sonderheft fragen, wie ethnische Unterscheidungen und Kategorisierungen in Verwaltungsprozessen situativ mobilisiert, aber auch (im Sinne eines Undoing Ethnicity) verwischt oder banalisiert werden und wie sich Ethnisierungen mit weiteren arbeits- bzw. verwaltungsbezogenen Unterscheidungen und Kategorisierungen vermengen. Die im Heft präsentierten Studienergebnisse bieten einen breiten Einblick in die aktuelle qualitative Sozialforschung zur Wahrnehmung von und dem Umgang mit Ethnizität in unterschiedlichen Bereichen der staatlichen Verwaltung in Deutschland und der Schweiz. Ihnen gelingt es, die soziale Konstruktion und Reproduktion ethnischer Humandifferenzierungen zu thematisieren, statt sie als fait social zu behandeln. Solche Analysen sind notwendig, wenn sich die Soziologie nicht an der reflexionsbedürftigen und politisch folgenreichen Verfestigung ethnischer Kategorisierungen beteiligen will.

description: Subfamily Psilarginae Shcherbakov, subfam.n.
TYPE GENUS. Psilargus Shcherbakov, gen.n.
DIAGNOSIS. Legs with long setae, body bare. Sensory pits large, numerous at adult stage. Eumetope without submedian carinae, separated from coryphe by single high carina (no acrometope). Pronotum with median carina complete; mesonotum with median carina. Strongly brachypterous. Fore legs longest. Ovipositor not projecting beyond anal tube.
COMPOSITION. Type genus.
REMARKS. The new subfamily shows a few characters in common with Perforissidae — bare body with large sensory pits in adults, and eumetope without submedian carinae. However, this subfamily fits Jubisentidae in the other characters: clypeus with high median crest, shape of pronotum, foliaceous legs fringed with long setae, wing reduction and the absence of tegula, claval suture and ocelli. Jubisentinae also share one character with Perforissidae — the presence of the acrometope.

Integrate learning and reasoning for large language model and recommender systems
Creators: name: Ji, Jianchao

description: In the current era, recommendation systems has become increasingly integral to our daily lives. Despite the significant advancements in recommendation systems, many models still lack robust reasoning capabilities, which limits their effectiveness and reliability. This research aims to address this gap by enhanciIng the reasoning abilities of recommendation systems to improve their overall performance. Our initial focus was on integrating counterfactual reasoning and logical reasoning abilities into recommendation models. By applying these reasoning techniques, we observed a marked improvement in the performance of recommendation systems, demonstrating the potential of reasoning-enhanced models in practical applications. Building on these findings, we extended our approach to large language models (LLMs). Our experiments showed that incorporating logical reasoning into LLMs significantly enhanced their performance across various benchmarks. Given their extensive use in natural language processing tasks, enhancing the reasoning capabilities of LLMs is particularly crucial. We aimed to improve their text reasoning abilities, ensuring that these models could not only understand but also logically process and respond to complex textual information. However, the rapid development of large language models also brings forth ethical challenges. It is imperative that we do not solely focus on optimizing model performance without addressing potential moral and ethical concerns. Recognizing this, we developed a benchmark to evaluate the moral integrity of LLMs. This benchmark assesses the ethical implications of the models' outputs, ensuring that they align with societal values and norms.

description: Bactrothrips Karny
Bactrothrips Karny, 1912: 131. Type-species: Bactrothrips longiventris Karny, 1912.
Among species of the genus Bactrothrips, some morphological characters are variable. In B. flectoventris the eyes are prolonged on the ventral surface of the head, but in the others the eyes are developed similarly on both sides of head. In two species from Australia, B. aliceae and B. kranzae, the maxillary stylets are retracted almost to the eyes and closer together, but in other members of the genus the maxillary stylets are shorter and far away from each other. Males of some species lack abdominal tubercles, but in other species these lateral tubercles vary in shape from straight, to curved or even bifurcate. So it is difficult to define the genus based on morphological characters.
Diagnosis. Body large. Head much longer than width across eyes, usually prolonged in front of eyes; eyes normal or obviously prolonged on ventral surface; interocellar, postocellar, postocular and mid-dorsal setae usually well developed, but sometimes small; posterior ocelli in contact with eyes. Maxillary stylets short and wide apart, or long and close together. Antennae 8-segmented, slender or stout; segments III and IV with 2 and 4 sense-cones separately. Pronotum usually with five pairs of major setae well developed, sometimes epimeral accessory setae also well developed; epimeral sutures incomplete or complete; basantra and ferna present. Mesopraesternum boatshaped. Metathoracic sternopleural sutures absent. Wings fully developed with numerous duplicated cilia, or apterous. Fore legs not enlarged and tarsi unarmed. Pelta with two lateral lobes never separated; abdominal tergites II–VII each with two pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae in species with wings full developed; tergites V–VIII of male with or without lateral tubercles, the tubercles small, long, straight, curved, horn-like or forked; tube much longer or slightly shorter than head, surface with numerous fine setae; anal setae much shorter than tube.
