Ulavius radhamaniae

description: Ulavius radhamaniae sp. nov.
Figs 50A–J.
Diagnosis. Externally very similar to U. poornachandrai in coloration and structure, but the male genitalia superficially resemble those of U. jayashriae and U. parvathiae. U. radhamaniae differs from the latter two species in having a style with hooked apex, aedeagal shaft sinuate and about as long as the preatrium; it differs from U. poornachandrai in having the aedeagal shaft more or less in line with preatrium and not subtended at an angle as in the former.

Male genitalia. Pygofer with ventral margin sinuate, anal collar process curved dorsally near apex and exceeded dorsal margin of pygofer. Style with hooked distal apex. Aedeagus with well-developed preatrium about as long as aedeagal shaft, in line with short dorsal apodeme, shaft sinuate, with subapical angulate projection on ventral surface slightly ventrad of gonopore, shaft attenuated beyond gonopore and curved.
Female. Unknown.
Measurements. Male 5.0– 5.1 mm long, 1.8 mm wide across eyes.
Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂, INDIA: Karnataka: Sirsi: Navanagere, 28.iv.2005, at Light, Radhamani, T. R. (UASB). Paratypes, 7 ♂, data as for holotype (BMNH, UASB, NBIR). 3 ♂, INDIA: Karnataka: Makuta, April 2005, ex Vateria indica canopy, Y. B. Srinivasa (UASB).

SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP THROUGH SACCO FUNDING: A CASE STUDY IN RWANDA
Creators: name: 1 Mensah Kwame, 2Mbonigaba Celestin, 3Olivia Martinez & 4Youssef Mansouri
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: This study examines the impact of Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) on fostering sustainable entrepreneurship in Rwanda, aiming to bridge gaps between financing mechanisms and environmentally friendly business practices. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining qualitative data from interviews and focus groups with quantitative data analysis, including chi-square tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis. Key findings indicate a significant relationship between SACCO funding and the adoption of sustainable practices such as organic farming and recycling (χ² = 45.67, p < 0.01). Sector-specific challenges, such as high loan interest rates in agriculture and market access issues in manufacturing, varied significantly (F(4, 995) = 12.34, p < 0.05). Regression results highlight governance quality, loan size, and environmental training as predictors of SACCOs’ contributions to sustainable entrepreneurship (R² = 0.65, F(3, 196) = 102.45, p < 0.01). The study concludes that SACCOs are vital to advancing Rwanda's green economy agenda and recommends strategic governance reforms, sector-specific interventions, and enhanced training to amplify their impact.

Towards Sustainable Practices: a literature review on SMEs in the Supply Chain
Creators: name: Francesconi, Alberto
name: Tanda, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Economia Aziendale Online -
Year: 2024
Subjects: SMEs, supply chain, sustainability, environmental performance, bibliometric review.

description: This paper conducts a bibliometric and systematic literature review of 173 papers on SMEs, supply chains (SCs) and sustainability to understand how SMEs strategies and practices can contribute to more sustainable SCs. Key findings suggest that innovative technologies and stakeholder engagement can enhance the sustainability and resilience of SMEs and SCs. In addition, SMEs could benefit from participating in networks or partnering with MNEs to access resources, adopt sustainable practices and unleash entrepreneurial sustainable innovation. Integrating sustainability into the SC of SMEs can improve their performance, in addition to the benefits of sustainability for the overall economic system. However, these topics are not fully integrated, leaving room for further research. Moreover, many circumstances are context-specific and show significant differences between developed and developing countries, making it unrealistic to propose a universal strategy. Clarifying these issues would improve understanding of the enabling factors and consequences of SME sustainability in SC.

description: The brightness of an emitter is ultimately described by Fermi’s golden rule, with a radiative rate proportional to its oscillator strength times the local density of photonic states (LDOS). Since the oscillator strength is an intrinsic material property, the quest for ever brighter emission has relied on LDOS engineering, via dielectric or plasmonic resonators1,2. In contrast, a much less explored avenue is to boost the oscillator strength, and hence the emission rate, via a collective behavior termed superradiance. Recently, it had been proposed3 that the latter can be realized via the giant oscillator-strength transitions of a weakly confined exciton in a quantum well when its coherent motion extends over many unit cells. Here, we demonstrate single-photon superradiance in perovskite quantum dots (QDs) with a sub-100 ps radiative decay time, almost as short as the reported exciton coherence time4. The characteristic dependence of radiative rates on QD size, composition, and temperature suggests the formation of giant transition dipoles, as confirmed by effective-mass calculations. The results aid the development of ultrabright, coherent quantum-light sources and attest that quantum effects, e.g., single-photon emission, persist in nanoparticles ten times larger than the exciton Bohr radius.

description: Genus Busonia Distant
Busonia Distant 1908: 198; Maldonado-Capriles 1977: 494; Xue & Zhang 2015: 542. Type species: Busoia amentata Distant, by original designation
Diagnosis. Among the Idiocerine genera having 2+1 distal meta femoral macrosetae, genus Busonia can be recognized by the clypellus being wide at base, broader than long and the lateral frontal sutures not present beyond bases of antennae, male pygofer without basal fracture, aedeagus short stout, atrium large with ventral projection, shaft without processes. Some species of Busoniomimus namely, B. minor (Bierman), B. mindanaensis (Baker) lack lateral frontal sutures on face, but have clypellus narrow at base and widened apically.
Remarks. Maldonado-Capriles (1977) redescribed the genus and Xue & Zhang (2015) recognized 13 species in the genus from the Oriental region. So far only the type species was recorded from the subcontinent and here we describe two new species from northeast India.

description: In contrast to many Hollywood climate fiction films, Snowpiercer (2013) offers a more complex representation of the white male savior. In contrast to films like WALL-E (2008) and Interstellar (2014) that recuperate and invest in white masculine privilege, Snowpiercer highlights the more destructive aspects of a patriarchal capitalist system that privileges hegemonic white masculinity. While the ending of Snowpiercer may seem bleak, it also points to the possibility of a new system, an environmental futurity that centers indigenous knowledge and the experiences of women and people of color. Though Snowpiercer is not formally an American film, its casting of recognizable Hollywood stars situates this film in a transnational American cinema context, and this is part of what makes this film interesting to examine in contrast to mainstream Hollywood blockbusters.

Quadrella coronata var. granulosa Borradaile 1902: 266.— Laurie 1906: 411.
Material examined. 1 female (9.73 × 8.69 mm) (NMMBCD 4074), Hojie, southern Taiwan, coll. C.-W. Lin, 15 May 2011; 1 female (4.60 × 4.16 mm) (NMMBCD 4075), Hojie, southern Taiwan, coll. C.- W.

Lin, 17 December 2013; 1 male (4.48 × 4.09 mm) (NMMBCD 4078), Back Bay, southern Taiwan, coll. C.- W. Lin, 20 March 2014.
Remarks. The present specimens agree well with the redescription of Q. coronata provided by Galil (1986). The species can be distinguished from other congeners by the anterior margin of the merus of the cheliped bearing 7–10 distinct spines, the posterior margins of the propodi of the first to fourth ambulatory legs are spinose and the tip of the G1 is curved (Galil 1986; Castro et al. 2004). Galil (1986) notes that the posterior margin of the dactylus of the first to fourth ambulatory legs is armed with 8 teeth; in our specimens, this number ranges from 7 to 9.
Quadrella coronata has a wide range in the Indo-West Pacific, from South Africa through the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia, Japan and Australia (Galil 1986; Castro et al. 2004). Its presence in Taiwan, although recorded only for the first time, is thus not surprising. All the present specimens have been found associated with the soft coral Chironephthya spp. (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Nidaliidae).

Quantitative analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between interest rates and loan affordability (r = -0.82, p < 0.01) and demonstrated that rate variations explained 68% of changes in loan applications (R² = 0.68, p < 0.001). Entrepreneurs accessing loans at lower interest rates (≤15%) reported higher revenue growth (70%) compared to those borrowing at higher rates (>17%), where growth dropped to 40%. These findings underscore the critical role of competitive interest rates in enhancing entrepreneurial participation and sustainability. It is recommended that SACCOs adopt flexible interest rate models, promote financial literacy, and implement gender-inclusive policies to maximize their impact on entrepreneurial growth.

description: Genus Chunra Distant
Chunra Distant 1908; 193; Webb, 1983 a: 225; Webb 1983b: 74–75. Type species: Iassus puncticosta Walker, by original designation.
Diagnosis. The genus can be recognized by the following set of characters (Webb 1983b): Face including eyes long. Lateral frontal sutures incurved. Labium long, exceeding beyond metacoxae. Forewing with brown and yellow patches on costal margin and veins; with three subapical cells, appendix large extending around wing apex and reaching costal margin. Male pygofer with long vertical fold from dosal margin and lateral hyaline region and process from each dorsoposterior corner. Male segment X lateral arms strongly produced ventrally. Female valvula I with imbricate sculpturing compared to transversely striate sculpturing in other genera of Indioceini.
Remarks. Distant (1908) recorded the genus and its type species from “Tenasserim: Myitta (Doherty)” in addition to “Malaya Archipelago: Morty (Wallace, Brit. Mus.)”. However, Webb (1983 a, 1983b) reported that the genus is distributed in Tropical Africa, Indonesia, and NE Australia. We have not examined any specimen of this genus from the Indian subcontinent. It is included for making the identification of the genus easy if someone collects it in the subcontinent.

description: Continuous-time Bayesian Networks (CTBNs) represent a compact yet powerful framework for understanding multivariate time-series data. Given complete data, parameters and structure can be estimated efficiently in closed-form. However, if data is incomplete, the latent states of the CTBN have to be estimated by laboriously simulating the intractable dynamics of the assumed CTBN. This is a problem, especially for structure learning tasks, where this has to be done for each element of a super-exponentially growing set of possible structures. In order to circumvent this notorious bottleneck, we develop a novel gradient-based approach to structure learning. Instead of sampling and scoring all possible structures individually, we assume the generator of the CTBN to be composed as a mixture of generators stemming from different structures. In this framework, structure learning can be performed via a gradient-based optimization of mixture weights. We combine this approach with a new variational method that allows for a closed-form calculation of this mixture marginal likelihood. We show the scalability of our method by learning structures of previously inaccessible sizes from synthetic and real-world data.

Lankacerus

description: Genus Lankacerus Viraktamath
Lankacerus Viraktamath 2007: 25–26. Type species: Lankcerus rotundus Viraktamath, by original designation.
Diagnosis. The genus to be recognized among the genera of Eurymelinae from the Indian subcontinent by the absence of cross veins that close the subapical cells and by having a single vein in the forewing clavus. Genus Neoscopus also does not have cross veins closing the subapical cells but has two claval veins. Crown and face dorsad of ocelli shagreen. Segment X large with lobe-like lateral surface. Male pygofer without anterior marginal apodemes, without basal fracture, without ventral process. Style apophysis with basal tooth on ventral surface. Aedeagus simple with small dorsal apodeme and well-developed preatrium. Gonopore subapical.
Remarks. Viraktamath (2007) adequately described the genus and distinguished it from Philippocerus Maldonado-Capriles by the shape of the clypellus. In Lankacerus the clypellus is broader apically whereas it is parallel sided in Philippocerus. Male pygofer in Phlipposcopus has anterior marginal apodemes and posterodorsal angle spine-like that are absent in Lankacerus.

description: This study investigates the role of Umurenge SACCOs in promoting agribusiness entrepreneurship in Rwanda, focusing on their contributions to financial inclusion and rural economic development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating structured interviews, focus group discussions, and quantitative analysis of loan and yield data. Key findings reveal a 240% growth in SACCO membership between 2010 and 2015 and a rise in agricultural loan disbursements from RWF 1,200 million to RWF 3,700 million, with agriculture capturing 60% of total loans by 2015. Statistical analyses indicate a significant increase in crop yields, from 1.5 metric tons per hectare in 2010 to 3.5 in 2015 (p < 0.001), demonstrating the transformative impact of SACCO loans on productivity and profitability. Despite challenges like limited financial literacy and lack of collateral, the study underscores the potential of SACCOs in driving sustainable agribusiness growth. Recommendations include enhancing financial literacy, developing alternative collateral frameworks, and improving rural infrastructure.

description: Genus Neoscopus Viraktamath
Neoscopus Viraktamath 2007: 26–27. Type species: Neoscopus ceylonensis Viraktamath, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Crown and face dorsad of ocelli shagreen. Ocelli closer to eyes than to median line, Clypellus slightly wider at base than at apex. Forewing with two open subapical cells. Metafemur with 2+1 distal macrosetae. Male pygofer with anterior well-developed apodemes, without dorsobasal fracture, pygofer lobe with one recurved ventral marginal process. Anal collar process well-developed. Style with angular projection at base of apophysis, ventral margin serrate. Aedeagus in ventral view narrowed in basal 0.33 then abruptly broadened with angular projections distally. Gonopore subapical on ventral surface.
Remarks. Viraktamath (2007) adequately described the genus and differentiated the genus from Philipposcopus Maldonado-Capriles and Angusticella Maldonado-Capriles which it closely resembles. From the former it differs in having a serrated ventral margin of male style (smooth in Phlipposcopu s) and well-developed anal collar process (absent in Philipposcopus). From Angusticella it differs in having second apical cell of forewing not pedunculate (pedunculate in Angusticella) and the male pygofer with posterior spine-like curved process (absent in Angusticella) in addition to serrated ventral margin of apophysis of the style (smooth in Angusticella).
