Fig. 3 A–B
Diagnosis
Genitalic structures, such as gonocoxites, parameres and ejaculatory apodeme, are conspicuously elongated (Fig. 3 A–B), making A. elongata gen. et sp. nov. the most deviant species of Antipodosis gen. nov. Adding to its exceptionality, ventral and dorsal parameres are largely merged with each other,
ejaculatory apodeme, ventral. Scale lines: 0.05 mm. leaving only the extreme apices separated (↓, Fig. 3B). The ejaculatory apodeme is three-pointed apically (↓, Fig. 3B). The gonostylus, which is strongly flattened, has a fringe of short, thick microtrichia at the broadly rounded apex (↓, Fig. 3A).
Etymology
The name elongata, a Latin adjective meaning ‘elongate’, refers to the genitalia of this species.

description: In this paper, we develop two new homological invariants called relative dominant dimension with respect to a module and relative codominant dimension with respect to a module. These are used to establish precise connections between Ringel duality, split quasi-hereditary covers and double centraliser properties.
 These homological invariants are studied over Noetherian algebras which are finitely generated and projective as a module over the ground ring and they are shown to behave nicely under change of rings techniques. It turns out that relative codominant dimension with respect to a summand of a characteristic tilting module is a useful tool to construct quasi-hereditary covers of Noetherian algebras and measure their quality. In particular, this homological invariant is used to construct split quasi-hereditary covers of quotients of Iwahori-Hecke algebras using Ringel duality of $q$-Schur algebras. Combining techniques of cover theory with relative dominant dimension theory we obtain a new proof for Ringel self-duality of the blocks of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category $\mathcal{O}$.

description: The H. dentifascia species-group
Diagnosis. In the male genital capsule of the group, the distal costal process is directed dorsally (whereas it is directed distally in the saldaitisi species-group), the distal lobe of valva is large and strongly elongate distally (it is very short in the saldaitisi species-group), the distal saccular process is extremely long and smoothly curved dorsally (it is vry short and slightly curved in the saldaitisi species-group), and the medial costal process is usually present (reduced only in H. vanlanga sp. n.) (it is absent in both known species of the saldaitisi species-group). The aedeagus vesica bears fields of weak granulation and a cluster of numerous small conical cornuti subbasally in certain species, whereas the vesicae of species of the saldaitisi species-group bear clusters of spinules. In the female genitalia, the ductus bursae is wide (in the saldaitisi species-group it is markedly narrower) and the corpus and the appendix bursae bear clusters of numerous tiny spinules (which are robuster in the saldaitisi species-group).

title: Reciprocal Self-Disclosure in Mixed-Race and Same-Race Dyads
Creators: name: Sholis, David Roger
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
Year: 1981

description: Sixty-four male teenage residents (32 white, 32 black) of a juvenile detention home were exposed to intimate selfdisclosure from an experimental confederate posing as a volunteer at the facility. Subjects were assigned to one of eight conditions which varied subject race (white or black), confederate race (white or black), and content of confederate disclosure (depression or substance abuse). Following the confederate's disclosure, each subject revealed in return and then completed a questionnaire measuring various dimensions of attraction to the confederate. Subjects disclosed more intimately and gave higher ratings of liking, trust, and similarity to same-race partners. Also, black subjects reported feeling less trusted by their partners. Confederates revealing substance abuse problems were perceived as less adjusted. The results were interpreted within the framework of social penetration theory. Methodological difficulties of self-disclosure research were discussed.
Properties and Transformations of Weingarten Surfaces

description: The Weingarten relations satisfied by rotationally symmetric surfaces in Euclidean 3-space E3 are considered from three points of view: restrictions on the slope of the relation at umbilic points, the action of SL2(R) as fractional linear transformations on the space of curvatures, and variational formulations for the relations. With regard to the first, we obtain bounds on the slope of a Weingarten relation in terms of the fall off of the radii of curvature at an umbilic point. This generalizes recent work by a number of authors. For the second, we show that the action descends from curvature space to E3 and splits into three natural geometric actions. This is applied to a class of Weingarten surfaces, called semi-quadratic, on which the action is shown to be transitive. Finally, a natural Lagrangian formulation is given for certain types of Weingarten relations and stability established.

Remarks: The specimens from Ivory Coast have been compared to two specimens of the type series from Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The median lobe of the aedeagus with the characteristic tongue-shaped extension covering the apial orifice and the shape of stylomere 2 of the female ovipositor were found to be similar. The only difference is in the macrosculpture of the head surface: the wrinkles between frons and orbital plates are shallow, subcircular, dimple-like in the specimens from Ivory Coast instead of deep and arcuate in the type specimens.

description: This OSF page is dedicated to a research project on wellbeing, self-oriented and prosocial behaviour among adolescents and students in Rotterdam during the pandemic COVID-19 crisis. This project consists of two major components: 1) a sub-project focusing on EUR (Erasmus University Rotterdam) students and 2) a sub-project focusing on adolescents living in the Rotterdam area. For both projects, participants were asked to report on their wellbeing, experiences and behaviors during the pandemic COVID-19 crisis on Mondays - Fridays, for two consecutive weeks (i.e., in the form of daily diaries). After completion of the first measurement wave in May 2020 (T1), participants were invited for the second measurement wave in November 2020 (T2). The larger project is expected to result in several research articles, that all answer different research questions. In these articles, research questions will be answered for the students and adolescents separately. On this OSF page, you can find the following documents: 1) the raw questionnaires as presented to the participants at T1 and T2. Note that questionnaires were presented in Dutch to all adolescents, and that students could fill questionnaires in either Dutch or English (see files). 2) A detailed description of the questionnaires at T1 and T2, including translations to English and references (see files). 3) Pre-registrations for the articles (see linked components).

title: Premature Infant Attractiveness and Temperament in the Prediction of Maternal Sensitivity
Creators: name: Shiflett, Cheryl L.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
Year: 1994

description: The influence of infant attractiveness and temperament on maternal sensitivity is important to examine in infants born prematurely because many characteristics associated with prematurity, such as postnatal cranial molding, may negatively impact maternal response. The present study investigated maternal perceptions of preterm infant development, attractiveness, age, and temperament, and examined the influence of attractiveness and temperament on maternal sensitivity. Twenty-nine mothers of preterms completed questionnaires on infant behavior, development, temperament, rated photographs for attractiveness and age, and were videotaped with their infant to measure maternal sensitivity according to CARE-Index procedures (Crittenden, 1988). Results indicated that mothers have more negative expectancies for preterm infants' behavior and development. Preterm infants with postnatal cranial molding are judged to be the least attractive group of infants and attractiveness ratings made by college-mothers successfully predicted maternal sensitivity in their behavioral interactions with infants.

Fig. 5 A–B
Diagnosis
A combination of genitalic characters is specific to A. pureora gen. et sp. nov., as follows (Fig. 5 A–B). Of the gonocoxites (Fig. 5A), the processes are small and subtriangular (↓), the large ventral emargination is perfectly U-shaped (↓), and the apodemes are merged into a large plate with rounded margins (↓). The base of the ejaculatory apodeme is strongly widened (↓, Fig. 5B), which is unique in Antipodosis gen. nov.
Differential diagnosis
Antipodosis pureora gen. et sp. nov. is similar to both A. australis gen. et sp. nov. and A. rotoroa gen. et sp. nov. The three species differ from each other in the ejaculatory apodeme, which is strongly widened basally in A. pureora gen. et sp. nov. (Fig. 5B), markedly widened subapically in A. australis gen. et sp. nov. (Fig. 2B), and two-pointed apically in A. rotoroa gen. et sp. nov. (Fig. 8B). Other interspecific distinctions are described under each of the species.
Etymology
The name pureora is from the Maori language, referring to Pureora Forest, one of the largest intact tracts of native podocarp forest in the North Island and collection site of this species.

(Figs 9, 10, 27, 37)
Type material. Holotype (Figs 9, 27): male, “ Thailand Changwat Nan 30 km E of Pua 1700 m, 14–15. IX. 1999 leg. A. Szabó & Z. Czere ”, gen. prep. No.: ZSM Arct. 2019-835 (prepared by Volynkin) (MWM/ ZSM).
Paratypes. THAILAND: 1 male, 1 female, the same data as for the holotype, gen. prep. Nos.: MWM 31742 (male) and ZSM Arct. 2019-836 (female) (prepared by Volynkin) (MWM/ ZSM); 1 male, the same locality and collectors but 22–23.IX.1999 (MWM/ ZSM).
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 10–10.5 mm in males and 10 mm in female. The new species is reminiscent of H. dentifascia and H. thaifascia sp. n. but differs in the presence of three subbasal spots (whereas H. dentifascia and H. thaifascia sp. n. have only two spots) and the presence of a slight bluish suffusion in the middle area of the forewing. Additionally, the female of H. phukha sp. n. has an elongate, dash-shaped discal spot similar to that of the male whereas those of H. dentifascia and H. thaifascia sp. n. are smaller and comma-like. The male genital capsule of the new species differs from those of H. dentifascia and H. thaifascia sp. n. in the somewhat distally narrower and somewhat more dorsally curved valva, the thicker and more apically rounded distal costal process, the smaller medial costal process and the basally narrower distal saccular process. The vesica of H. phukha sp. n. is somewhat shorter than those of H. dentifascia and H. thaifascia sp. n. (in proportion to the aedeagus length) and has an evenly distally dilated shorter lobe of the distal diverticulum which is shorter and drop-like dilated in H. dentifascia and very slightly dilated in H. thaifascia sp. n. Additionally, the subbasal chamber of the new species lacks a lateral cluster of cornuti which is present in H. thaifascia sp. n. The female genitalia of H. phukha sp. n. differ from those of H. dentifascia and H. thaifascia sp. n. in the wider ductus bursae, the shorter posterior spinulose cluster of the corpus bursae and the smaller signum bursae. Additionally, the subostial lobes of the new species are narrower than in H. dentifascia.
Distribution. The new species is known from Nan Province in North Thailand.
Etymology. Phukha is the dynasty ruled the Varanagara kingdom situated on the territory of the modern Nan Province of Thailand in the late XIII century.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 7D191604-3021-4E5E-9E8D-DDD34DC58310
Figs 1C, 6 A–B
Diagnosis
A character readily distinguishing A. rakiura gen. et sp. nov. from all other Antipodosis gen. nov. is that the dorsal portions of the parameres are merged into a rhomboid shaped plate (↓, Fig. 6B), with the result that only one pair of tusks remains ventrally. Other genitalic structures distinctive of this species are the gonostylus, which is swollen on the basal two thirds and flattened on the apical third (↓, Fig. 6A), and the gonocoxites, which have prominent, rectangular processes (↓).
Etymology
The species epithet rakiura is identical with the Maori name commonly used for Stewart Island where this species was found.

Type material. Holotype (Figs 8, 28): male, “ 06–15.XI.2013, N Vietnam, Vĩnh Phúc Province, 41 km NNW of Hanoi, Tam Dao Mt. Range, 21°23’3.34’’N 105°42’44.10’’E, edge of rainforest, 395m, local collector leg.”, gen. prep. No.: AV6409 (prepared by Volynkin) (MWM/ ZSM, ex CAV).
Diagnosis. The forewing length is 9 mm in the holotype male. The new species differs externally from its congeners in the medially paler forewing with thicker pattern elements and the paler hindwing. The male genital capsule of H. vanlanga sp. n. differs from those of other species in the dentifascia species-group in the lack of a medial costal process. Additionally, compared to H. phukha sp. n., the valva of H. vanlanga sp. n. is somewhat less curved dorsally. The vesica of the new species is similar to that of H. phukha sp. n. due to the shape of the shorter lobe of the distal diverticulum but differ in the broader subbasal chamber bearing a small lateral cluster of six tiny conical cornuti.
Distribution. The new species is known only from its type locality in Vĩnh Phúc Province in North Vietnam.
Etymology. Văn Lang was a kingdom on the territory of the modern North Vietnam.

Spade-toothed Whale
Mesoplodon travers
French: Baleine-a-bec de Travers / German: Travers-Zweizahnwal / Spanish: Zifio de Travers
Other common names: Bahamondi's Beaked Whale, Spade-toothed Beaked Whale, Traver’s Beaked Whale
Taxonomy. Dolichodon traversii Gray, 1874,
Chatham Island, New Zealand.
This species 1s monotypic.
Distribution. Currently known from three sets of cranial remains found in New Zealand, Chatham, and Juan Fernandez Is and a single stranding consisting of an adult female and ajuvenile male found in New Zealand. It is not known how these records reflect the actual distribution of this species.
Descriptive notes. Total length ¢.500-550 cm (based on a single adult female); no specific data are available for body weight. In common with other species of Mesoplodon, body of the Spade-toothed Whale is spindle-shaped, with greatest girth around its midpoint. Flukes are wide in relation to body length, and tailstock is compressed laterally. Dorsal fin is small and set approximately two-thirds the distance between tip of the beak and end of the tail. Coloration of the two known individuals was dark on top, with a white belly, dark flippers, and dark rostrum. In adult males,a single pair of tusksis set in the middle of the lowerjaw.
Habitat. There is no information available for this species.
Food and Feeding. There is no specific information available for this species, but as with other species of Mesoplodon, the Spade-toothed Whale likely eats deep-water squid and deep-water fish. Like other species of beaked whales,it likely forages at depths greater than 500 m for much ofits life.
Breeding. There is no information available for this species.
Activity patterns. There is no information available for this species.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. There is no information available for this species.
Status and Conservation. CITES Appendix II. Classified as Data Deficient on The[IUCN Red List. There are no estimates of global population size of the Spade-toothed Whale. Like other species of beaked whales, the Spade-toothed Whale could be affected by ingestion of plastic debris and noise pollution, or caught as bycatch in driftnet fisheries. As a species that is apparently restricted to cooler waters, it may also be vulnerable to effects of climate change. Nevertheless, nothing is known about the form or extent of these potential impacts.

Remarks. This species is closely related to Henricia arcystata Fisher, but differs in each adambulacral plate bearing more numerous subadambulacral spines (on the plate surface) and a single furrow spine, not three furrow spines in a vertical series. Our specimens do not possess a short series of the secondary ventrolateral plate at the arm base. In addition, the present specimen extends the depth of the species to 1115 meters.
