description: Balance assessments are an important component of rehabilitation. Considering the increasing use of telemedicine to meet rehabilitation needs, it is important to examine the feasibility of such assessments. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment Balance Subscale (POMA-B) when applied via synchronous and asynchronous tele-assessment. Twenty-five patients with chronic stroke were included in the study. The first physiotherapist assessed the patients on the first day in a face-to-face clinical setting. Synchronous or asynchronous tele-assessment was applied the next day. The assessments were performed in the same time zone, with an interval of one day. The synchronous tele-assessment was done online in real time by the first and second physiotherapists. A reference assessment video was sent to the patients for asynchronous tele-assessment. They were asked to make a video recording while performing the evaluation activities according to the reference video. Then the first and second physiotherapists assessed these video recordings separately. All the tests were repeated 10 days later to determine the intra-rater reliability of the tele-assessment methods. The intra-class correlation coefficients ranged from 0.96 to 0.98 for inter-rater reliability and from 0.97 to 0.98 for intra-rater reliability for both tele-assessment methods. Both asynchronous and asynchronous tele-assessment methods were medium correlated with the face-to-face versions. We demonstrated the validity and reliability of the POMA-B in chronic stroke patients with different tele-assessment methods, typically using the internet and available devices.
title: Über die überregionale Bedeutung einer regionalen Kulturlandschaft
Creators: name: Schreiner, Martina
Year: 2011

description: Diese Arbeit soll das künstlerische Werk des 1941 in Eisenstadt, Burgenland geborenen Dr. phil. Günter Unger dokumentieren. Viele Faktoren haben zu einem umfangreichen Schaffen beigetragen. Unger war nicht nur Herausgeber des Literaturmagazins „Wortmühle“ (später „Neue Wortmühle“), sondern organisierte ebenso Hörspieltage in Unterrabnitz, Eisenstadt und Rust. Er war ebenfalls Produzent und Regisseur von Hörspielen und durch seine Tätigkeit als Fotograf Herausgeber von Fotobüchern. Als Mitglied in Literaturpreis-Jurys machte er sich ebenso einen Namen wie als Mitglied des PEN-Clubs. Er schrieb Theaterstücke, hatte eine Lehrtätigkeit am Institut für Theater-, Film- und Medienwissenschaft inne und war die längste Zeit seines Arbeitslebens (1967 – 2001) Leiter der Kultur-, Wissenschafts- und Literaturabteilung des ORF Landesstudio Burgenland. Sein Wirken umfasst den Theater- genauso wie den Medienbereich und deswegen soll diesen Bereichen ein besonderes Augenmerk gegeben werden. Ziel war es, durch persönliche Gespräche mit Günter Unger, seinen privaten Notizen, Utensilien und Memorabilia sowie Recherchen im Archiv der Burgenländischen Landesbibliothek und dem Burgenländischen Landesarchiv eine umfassende Darlegung der Arbeit Ungers zu verfassen. Mit dem Titel „Über die überregionale Bedeutung einer regionalen Kulturlandschaft“ soll Gewicht auf die Wirkung gelegt werden, die das Fördern junger (burgenländischer) Schriftsteller hatte. „Regional“ bedeutet, dass der Bezug, den die Autoren hatten, meist ein Begriff von Heimat, Landeskunde und Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung war und „überregional“ verweist auf die Tatsache, dass durch das Ausstrahlen von Hörspielen oder das Erscheinen von Texten in der „Wortmühle“ eine recht große Anzahl an kulturinteressierten Hörern bzw. Lesern erreicht wurde. Die Bedeutung und Anerkennung, die manche Stücke im Ausland erlangten, wirkten positiv auf die regionale Kulturlandschaft, indem sie immer mehr Künstler hervorbrachten, die über die Grenzen des Burgenlandes hinaus Erfolge feiern konnten.
The Dynamics Of Inter-Firm Skill Transmission Among Kenyan Microenterprises

description: We provide empirical evidence in favor of inter-firm productivity transmission among Kenyan microenterprises. We do so with a field experiment in which a random subset of young firms are matched one-to-one with an older, successful local firm, then use a seven-round survey over the course of a year to study the dynamics of the response. Profit is on average 20 percent higher among these young firms than in the control group. Treated firms are more likely to switch suppliers and have lower inventory costs, highlighting the importance of cost and supplier information. The benefits are driven by the flow of information rather than a permanent change in practices, as we show that the effect fades most among those whose matches dissolve earliest. We exploit our selection procedure with a regression discontinuity design to show that no observable benefits extend to the more successful, older firm in the match. Finally, we benchmark this treatment against a standard microenterprise training program. Training generates changes in business practices covered in the classes but no change in profit, consistent with previous work.

Resumen

Proveemos evidencia empírica a favor de la transmisión de productividad entre microempresas de Kenia. Realizamos un experimento de campo en el cual un subconjunto aleatorio de las empresas jóvenes es emparejado a razón de uno a uno con una empresa local más exitosa y con más antigüedad. Luego utilizamos una serie de siete encuestas en el curso de un año para estudiar la dinámica de los efectos del experimento. La ganancia de las empresas jóvenes emparejadas es en promedio un 20 por ciento mayor a las empresas que están en el grupo control. Las empresas tratadas son más propensas a cambiar de proveedor y tienen costos de inventario menores, resaltando la importancia de la información sobre los costos y proveedores. Los beneficios son impulsados por el flujo de información y no por un cambio permanente en las prácticas, tal como se muestra que el efecto se desvanece más entre aquellos cuyo emparejamiento se disuelven más temprana. Explotamos nuestro procedimiento de selección con un diseño de regresión discontinua para mostrar que no hay beneficios observables que se extienden a la empresa más exitosa y con más antigüedad. Finalmente, comparamos este tratamiento a un programa de formación de microempresas estándar. Formación genera cambios en las prácticas comerciales tratados en las clases de formación, pero ningún cambio en la ganancia que es consistente con el trabajo previo.

Explaining Catch-Up in Human Development: A Political Economy Comparison of the Philippines and Viet Nam Since 1986
Creators: name: Baulch, Bob
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: The Philippines and Viet Nam are the two most populous countries in Southeast Asia after Indonesia. This paper examines the underlying reasons for their contrasting human development and growth experiences since 1986 from a political economy perspective. By a sequenced combination of market liberalization, land reform, and public investments in health and education, plus large aid and foreign direct investment inflows, Viet Nam generated broad-based, sustained, and rapid economic growth. Viet Nam’s authoritarian but socially inclusive governments then used progressive taxation and inter-provincial transfers to translate this growth into human development outcomes. In contrast, in the Philippines, traditional elites were able to dominate the democratic process, capture rents and divert resources away from investment in human development and infrastructure, thereby stifling a short-lived growth acceleration. The Philippines has also been caught in a low-revenue, low-expenditure trap due to its porous and regressive tax system and self-reinforcing internal revenue allotment mechanism. While not without their drawbacks, economic growth and human development in Viet Nam have therefore been more inclusive, as well as faster, than in the Philippines.

Resumen

Filipinas y Vietnam son, luego de Indonesia, dos de los países más poblados en el Sudeste de Asia. Este artículo examina desde una perspectiva de economía política las razones que subyacen al contraste entre sus experiencias de desarrollo humano y crecimiento económico desde 1986. Vietnam generó un crecimiento económico de base amplia, sostenido y rápido a través de una secuencia de liberalización de mercado, reforma agraria e inversiones públicas en salud y educación más grandes entradas de ayuda externa e inversión extranjera directa. El gobierno autoritario pero socialmente incluyente de Vietnam usó entonces impuestos progresivos y transferencias interprovinciales para transformar este crecimiento económico en resultados de desarrollo humano. En cambio, en Filipinas las elites tradicionales pudieron dominar el proceso democrático, capturar rentas y alejar los recursos de la inversión en desarrollo humano e infraestructura, lo que ahogó una efímera aceleración del crecimiento económico. Como resultado de su sistema impositivo poroso y regresivo y de un mecanismo de distribución de los ingresos públicos que se refuerza, Filipinas ha estado atrapada en una trampa de ingresos bajos y gastos bajos. Por tanto, el crecimiento económico y el desarrollo humano en Vietnam, aunque no sin inconvenientes, han sido más incluyentes y más rápidos que en Filipinas.

Chrysomphalus greeni Leonardi, 1914. Type material: Syntype: female. Type locality: Guinea (Conakry), UNINA (examined). Melanaspis greeni (Leonardi); Lindinger 1943: 147. Change of combination.
Chrysomphalus greeni Leonardi; Borchsenius 1966: 290. Revived combination.
Host: unknown.
Distribution: Afrotropical: Guinea.
Discussion: Leonardi (1914) described Chrysomphalus greeni from specimens found on an unknown plant in Guinea. Lindinger (1943) transferred the species to Melanaspis, and later Borchsenius (1966) transferred it back to Chrysomphalus. Upon our request, Professor Antonio Pietro Garonna, curator of the insect collection of the Department of Entomology in Portici, Italy, kindly arranged for the loan of specimens of the type series. Unlike the pygidium of Chrysomphalus species, which lack a series of short paraphyses anterior to L3 and have conspicuous, long, branched or clubbed plates between L2 and L3 and anterior to L3, the pygidium of C. greeni is similar to that of Melanaspis in that: (i) the lateral margin is sclerotized with a series of short paraphyses anterior to L3 and (ii) the plates are short, spine-like and inconspicuous, not exceeding the length of the lobes. Relatively few species of Melanaspis have perivulvar pores, including this species. In the key of Deitz and Davidson (1986) to the North American species of Melanaspis, M. greeni would key out to and is most similar to Melanaspis ponderosa Ferris 1941, especially in the size and shape of the paraphyses. Of the Afrotropical species of Melanaspis, M. greeni comes closest to Melanaspis sansevii Mamet 1959, a species described from Madagascar on a crucifer, which has perivulvar pores and paraphyses similar to those of M. greeni. Peculiarly, L1–L3 of M. greeni each has a wide basal sclerosis similar to those observed in Pygidiaspis cedri Green 1915; whereas the basal scleroses are normally restricted to the median lobes.

description: Abstract

 This paper studies the effects of information about malaria and of bednet distribution strategies on the demand for anti-malaria bednets, using a randomized experiment in the city of Thiès in Senegal. We offer two orthogonal treatments to a random sample of households. The first is a sale treatment and consists of 1) an offer to purchase on the spot a bednet at a subsidized price or 2) an offer to purchase a bednet at the same subsidized price with a voucher valid for seven days. The second is an information treatment that consists of a ten-minute information session on malaria-related issues. We find that information has no significant effect on the demand for bednets and that receiving a voucher increases purchasing by 20%. Our results suggest that selling bednets at a subsidized price and allowing for some flexibility with a short period of seven days increases purchase compared to the on-the-spot sale approach.

 Resumen

 Este artículo estudia el efecto de la información sobre la incidencia de la malaria y el de las estrategias de distribución sobre la demanda de mosquiteros anti-malaria. Utilizamos un experimento aleatorio en la ciudad de Thiès en Senegal. Ofrecemos dos tratamientos independientes a una muestra aleatoria de hogares. El primero es un tratamiento de venta y consiste en (1) el ofrecimiento de comprar en el acto un mosquitero con un precio subsidiado o (2) el ofrecimiento de comprar un mosquitero al mismo precio subsidiado con un bono válido por siete días. El segundo es un tratamiento de información que consiste en una sesión de información de diez minutos sobre asuntos relacionados con la malaria. Encontramos que la información no tiene un efecto significativo sobre la demanda de mosquiteros y que recibir un bono incrementa las compras en un 20%. Nuestros resultados sugieren que vender mosquiteros a un precio subsidiado permitiendo alguna flexibilidad en un período corto de siete días incrementa la adquisición de mosquiteros en comparación con la compra en el acto.

description: Abstract

 The rise of the super-rich has attracted much political and academic attention in recent years. However, to date there have been few attempts to explain the cross-national variation in the recent rise of very top incomes. Drawing on the World Top Incomes Database, we study the income share of the top 1% in almost all current postindustrial democracies from 1975 to 2012. We find that extreme income concentration at the very top is a predominantly political phenomenon, not the outcome of economic changes. Top income shares are largely unrelated to economic growth, increased knowledge-intensive production, export competitiveness, market size, financialization, and wealth accumulation. Instead, they are driven by various political and policy changes that reflect a decline in the relative power and resources of labor, such as union density and centralization, secular-right governments, and cuts in top marginal income tax rates as well as in public spending on education.

 Resumen

 En los últimos años, el ascenso de los super-ricos atrajo mucha atención política y académica. Sin embargo, hasta el momento se hicieron pocos intentos de explicar la variación internacional en el crecimiento reciente de los ingresos más altos. Tomando información de la Base Mundial de Datos sobre los Ingresos más Altos (World Top Incomes Database) estudiamos la porción del ingreso del 1% superior en casi todas las democracias postindustriales actuales desde 1975 hasta 2012. Encontramos que la extrema concentración del ingreso en la cúspide es un fenómeno predominantemente político y no resulta de cambios económicos. La participación de los ingresos superiores no está relacionada en ninguna medida significativa con el crecimiento económico, un aumento en la producción que hace un uso intensivo del conocimiento, la competitividad de las exportaciones, el tamaño de los mercados, el desarrollo del sector financiero o la acumulación de riqueza. En cambio, está guiada por varios cambios en la política y en las políticas que reflejan una declinación en el poder relativo y en los recursos de los trabajadores, tales como la densidad sindical y la centralización, los gobiernos seculares de derechas y las reducciones tanto en las tasas marginales superiores de impuestos sobre los ingresos como en el gasto público en educación.

Types. Rutela brunnipennis Gyllenhal, 1817: lectotype (present designation): ♀: “N: Holland. / Hooker. // NHRS- JLKB / 000029806 ” (NHRS); Rutela chloropyga Thunberg, 1822: lectotype (present designation): ♀: “Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus. / Thunbergsaml. nr. 3132 / Rutela chloropyga / TYP” (UUZM).
Remarks. Lectotypes are designated here for Anoplognathus brunnipennis (Fig. 1 A–D) and Rutela chloropyga (Fig. 1 E–H) to fix their identities. Type material of A. brunnipennis was not seen by Carne (1957) in his revision of the genus. Examination of Gyllenhal’s lectotype makes it clear that the species was misidentified by Carne and is conspecific with A. chloropyrus (Drapiez, 1819), which was described in detail and has been consistently interpreted by subsequent authors (e.g., Carne 1957). Therefore, A. chloropyrus is a junior synonym of A. brunnipennis. The lectotype of Rutela chloropyga (Fig. 1 E–H) is also conspecific with A. brunnipennis and therefore these names are placed in synonymy. The validity of the synonymization of A. nitidulus with A. chloropyrus as proposed by Ohaus (1918) and subsequently listed in Carne (1957), was not examined in this work.
Anoplognathus brunnipennis occurs from Victoria to southeastern Queensland and is a common species around Sydney (AMS). It is distinguished by the rough surfaced but glabrous and brilliant green pygidium (Reid & Smith 2016; Burleigh & Reid 2017).

The Electoral Basis of Ideological Polarization in Latin America
Creators: name: Moraes, Juan Andrés
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Polarization has been always identified as a problem for Latin American democracies. Yet its determinants remain largely undertheorized and without systematic evidence. This paper tackles this shortcoming with a new explanation where polarization is conceptualized as a mobilizational tool used by parties to deliver unequivocal signals to voters about their location in the policy space. The explanation holds that Parties’ strategies depend on the electoral context in which they compete, making volatility a crucial indicator of their behavior. Low-volatility contexts inhibit parties from seeking polarization due to potential electoral punishments by voters and the internal costs of programmatic change within the party organization. High volatility, however, increases the risk of electoral survival, decreasing the costs of seeking polarization. Here, volatility makes polarization more likely. Using time-series cross-sectional regression analysis for eighteen Latin American countries for 1995–2010, this paper provides robust statistical results to support the causal link between electoral volatility and polarization.

 Resumen

 La polarización ideológica es considerada como un problema para las democracias de América Latina. Sin embargo, la polarización no solo ha sido escasamente teorizada sino que además carecemos de evidencia empírica sistemática a nivel comparado. Este documento explora esta laguna en la literatura y provee una explicación de la polarización ideológica de las elites partidarias durante el periodo 1995–2010. La polarización es un herramienta mobilizacional que emplean los partidos, a los efectos de facilitarle a los votantes la localización inequívoca de los partidos en el espectro ideológico. En este documento, las estrategias de los partidos dependen del contexto electoral en el que compiten, donde la volatilidad electoral es un indicador determinante para el comportamiento de los agentes. Los contextos de baja volatilidad inhiben a los partidos de seguir una estrategia de polarización ideológica, debido al temor a ser castigado por los votantes y las dificultades de procesar cambios programáticos dentro de los partidos cuando no hay riesgos electorales de corto plazo. Alta volatilidad, sin embargo, aumenta el riesgo de supervivencia electoral de los partidos, haciendo decrecer los costos de seguir una estrategia de polarización. En este caso, alta volatilidad aumenta la probabilidad de polarizar. Un análisis de regresión con series de tiempo en sección cruzada provee evidencia solida sobre el vínculo causal entre la volatilidad electoral y la polarización ideológica.

Democratization and Other Civil War Legacies in Central America
Creators: name: Lehoucq, Fabrice Edouard
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame

description: Abstract

 This paper analyzes the impact of civil war on regime change. It focuses on Central America, a region where several countries underwent transitions to democracy in the wake of civil war during the second half of the twentieth century. It argues that armed conflict, not increasing levels of economic development, led to political change. Violence liquidated stubbornly resilient autocracies in El Salvador and Nicaragua, catalyzed the democratization of Costa Rican politics, and was the backdrop to regime liberalization in Guatemala. Postwar negotiations, at a time when Cold War bipolarity was ending, led to the establishment of more open, civilian regimes on the isthmus. This paper also notes that the transition from autocracy was enormously costly in both lives and economic well-being, which helps to explain why political change has given birth to low-quality democracies or mixed regimes on the isthmus, ones that also have witnessed the explosion of criminal and drug-related violence.

 Resumen

 Este artículo analiza el impacto de la guerra civil sobre el cambio político. Se concentra en Centroamérica, una región donde varios países experimentaron transiciones a la democracia luego de guerras civiles durante la segunda mitad del siglo veinte. Este estudio sostiene que es el conflicto armado, y no los niveles crecientes de desarrollo económico, lo que transforma los sistemas políticos. La violencia liquidó a las dictaduras eternas de El Salvador y Nicaragua, catalizó la democratización de la política costarricense y fue el transfondo de la liberalización del régimen político en Guatemala. Las negociaciones posteriores a las guerras, en un momento en que la bipolaridad de la Guerra Fría estaba terminando, llevaron al establecimiento de regímenes civiles más abiertos en el istmo. Este artículo también nota que la transición desde el autoritarismo fue enormemente costosa tanto en vidas como en bienestar económico, lo que ayuda a explicar por qué el cambio político ha dado origen a democracias de baja calidad o a regímenes mixtos en el istmo, regímenes que no han podido contener la explosión de la violencia criminal y relacionada con el tráfico de drogas.

Types. Anoplognathus flavipennis Boisduval, 1835: lectotype (present designation): ϐ: “229 / 35. // flavipennis // A. rugosus / Kirby. / Nlle Hollande // ANOPLOGNATHUS / BRUNNIPENNIS / (GYLLENHAL) / Det:A.B.T.Smith 2001 // TYPE // MNHN / EC1440” (MNHN); paralectotypes (3): ♀: “229 / 35. // TYPE // MNHN / EC1441 ” (MNHN); ♀: “229 / 35. // A. flavipennis / Boisd. / Nlle Hollande // TYPE // MNHN / EC1442 ” (MNHN); ♀: “229 / 35. // TYPE // MNHN / EC1443 ” (MNHN).
Remarks. A lectotype is designated here for A. flavipennis to fix its identity (Fig. 2 A–C). The lectotype of Anoplognathus brunnipennis (Fig. 1 A–D) was not seen by Carne (1957) and he misinterpreted the species. Carne (1957) erroneously synonymized A. flavipennis and A. flavipennis quadrimaculatus with A. brunnipennis. Anoplognathus flavipennis (Fig. 2 A–P) is the valid name for this misidentified species, as it is the oldest available name. Anoplognathus flavipennis was considered a valid species until Carne’s (1957) revision of the genus, for example by Ohaus (1898), and old specimens labelled A. flavipennis by W.S. MacLeay in MMS are correctly identified. The validity of the synonymization of A. castaneipennis and A. flavipennis quadrimaculatus (described as a colour variety of A. flavipennis) with A. brunnipennis aucttorum nec Gyllenhal, as proposed by Burmeister (1844) and Carne (1957), was not examined in this work.
Anoplognathus flavipennis is a fairly common species from northwest Sydney to southern Queensland (AMS). This species is distinguished by the setose clypeus, setose dull pygidium, and short rounded mesoventral process (Reid & Smith 2016; Burleigh & Reid 2017).

The Politics of Polarization: Governance and Party System Change in Latin America, 1990–2010
Creators: name: Handlin, Sam
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 What are the causes and implications of polarization in new democracies? During Latin America’s “Left Turn” period, highly polarized party systems emerged in some countries–Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and El Salvador–but not the rest of the region. This paper proposes a theory to explain variation, centered on the presence of electorally relevant parties of the left in the pre-Left Turn period and, most critically, the quality of governance in that period. Poor governance created opportunities for partisan actors on the left to politicize a second dimension of political contestation, anti-systemic versus systemic positions on the design and operation of the state, and thus chart alternative paths to electoral viability that required little left-right programmatic moderation. This dynamic empowered radical party factions and drove polarizing dynamics in party systems. High quality governance, in contrast, gave left parties little choice but to moderate their programs in search of electoral viability. This dynamic empowered moderate party factions and drove centripetal dynamics in party systems. Empirically, the paper tests these arguments through a broad overview of the case universe and in-depth case studies of Venezuela and Brazil.

 Resumen

 ¿Cuáles son las causas y qué implica la polarización en las nuevas democracias? Durante el período del “giro a la izquierda”, en algunos países emergieron sistemas de partidos altamente polarizados–en Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua y El Salvador–pero no en el resto de la región. Este artículo propone una teoría para explicar la variación, centrada en la presencia de partidos de izquierda electoralmente relevantes en el período anterior al “giro a la izquierda” y, más crucialmente, en la calidad del gobierno en ese período. El gobierno deficiente creó oportunidades para que los actores partidarios de izquierda politizaran una segunda dimensión de disputa política, las posiciones pro sistema versus las anti sistema acerca del diseño y el funcionamiento del Estado, y así trazaran caminos alternativos hacia la viabilidad electoral que requirieron poca limitación programática en términos de izquierda y derecha. Esta dinámica fortaleció a las facciones partidarias radicalizadas y generó dinámicas de polarización en los sistemas de partidos. El gobierno de alta calidad, en cambio, dejó a los partidos de izquierda pocas opciones más que moderar sus programas en busca de la viabilidad electoral. Esta dinámica fortaleció a las facciones partidarias moderadas y generó dinámicas centrípetas en los sistemas de partidos. Empíricamente, el artículo pone a prueba estos argumentos a través de una mirada amplia al universo de casos y un estudio en profundidad de los casos de Venezuela y Brasil.

Remarks. Lectotypes are hereby designated for Rutela olivieri (Fig. 3 A–D) and Rutela lacunosa (Fig. 3 E–H) to fix their identities. Rutela olivieri was described by Schönherr and Gyllenhal, not Dalman alone (Schönherr 1817: 61). Boisduval (1835), while transferring R. olivierii to Anoplognathus, misspelled the species epithet as “ olivieri ” eliding an “ i ”. This is an incorrect subsequent spelling but has been used by all later authors (for example, Burmeister 1844; Ohaus 1904; Carne 1957; Smith 2003). The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1999) Article 33.3.1. states that “when an incorrect subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the publication of the original spelling, the subsequent spelling and attribution are to be preserved and the spelling is deemed to be a correct original spelling”. Since A. olivieri (Schönherr & Dalman, 1817) is in prevailing usage and has been consistently attributed to the original publication it is deemed to be a correct original spelling.
Type material of Anoplognathus olivieri was not examined by Carne (1957) but his interpretation of the species was correct. Rutela lacunosa is conspecific with Anoplognathus olivieri and therefore placed in synonymy. The validity of the synonymization of A. impressus and A. duponti with A. olivieri as proposed by Ohaus (1918) and Carne (1957), respectively, was not examined in this work.
Anoplognathus olivieri occurs from Victoria to central Queensland and is a common species around Sydney (AMS). It is distinguished by laterally expanded female elytra, smooth mostly impunctate ventrites and shiny pygidium with apical tuft of setae (Reid & Smith 2016; Burleigh & Reid 2017).

description: Antoine Parent was a French engineer and mathematician who published about 190 papers and 5 books between 1699 and 1716, the year of his death.  He wrote on a wide variety of subjects, but the majority fall into the categories of mechanics and mathematics.  In general, for various reasons, Parent's work is not well known today even though much of it seems quite significant.  This Volume 1 of Parent's writings covers mathematics in 22 Chapters, and many of the topics demonstrate Parent's facility with geometry and the newly invented calculus.  A summary of the highlights is given at the end.

Strengthening Democratic Quality: Reactive Deliberation in the Context of Direct Democracy
Creators: name: Altman, David
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Acknowledging that mechanisms of direct democracy can fall prey to narrow and egoistic interests (regardless of how legitimate they may be) and that legislatures do not always have the incentives to articulate responses to those narrow interests, I propose a hypothetical reform: any time a popular vote (i.e., initiative, referendum, or authorities’ referendum) is held, representative and direct institutions should be supplied with a stratified random sample of eligible voters convened to advance citizens’ counterproposals. This original institution—which does not exist even in the places where direct democracy is most developed—would discuss, deliberate, and offer an alternative or an improvement to a policy question that is to be decided in the near future; it would refine and enlarge public views on a contentious topic, providing meaningful political choices, and thus strengthening democratic quality. In arguing for this, my research takes insights from two real-world situations—Uruguay’s two 2009 initiatives for constitutional reform—in which citizens’ counterproposals could have played a crucial role in informing public views on a contentious topic and offered an alternative to both sides of the debate.

 Resumen

 Reconociendo que los mecanismos de democracia directa pueden ser presas de intereses egoístas (sin importar cuán legítimos son), y que las legislaturas no siempre tienen los incentivos para articular respuestas a esas posiciones, propongo una reforma hipotética que complementa a las instituciones representativas y directas con una muestra aleatoria estratificada de votantes convocados para proponer “contrapropuestas cívicas” siempre que una votación popular sea agendada. Esta institución—que no existe siquiera en los lugares donde la democracia directa está más desarrollada—discutirá, deliberará, y ofrecerá una alternativa o una mejora a una cuestión política que será decidida en un futuro próximo. Así, perfeccionará y ampliará la opinión del público sobre un tema polémico, proporcionando opciones políticas significativas, y fortaleciendo la calidad democrática. Con este objetivo, esta investigación toma el ejemplo de dos situaciones reales—dos iniciativas de reforma constitucional en Uruguay en el 2009—donde las contrapropuestas cívicas podrían haber desempeñado un papel crucial en complementar la oferta política sobre un tema polémico y ofrecido alternativas sobre estos contenciosos.
