description: This paper is focused on mapping and monitoring of unemployment hot spots using registers of local authorities in the Ostrava City (Czech Republic) to identify socially excluded localities at the micro-scale. The register of unemployed persons and the population register provide data for quantification of specific indicators of a local labour situation. A share of the registered unemployed in reference to residents in productive age can substitute the rate of unemployment due to the high correlation of both indicators. The mapping of unemployment hot spots has been based on data from 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 using kernel density estimation. Various settings of bandwidths have been tested to identify socially excluded localities in the city in hopes of identifying the most accurate way to visualise the pattern. These localities have been identified in two expert studies and the most significant sign is considered to be increased unemployment. Appropriate settings of kernel density estimations of the unemployment indicator enable to identify the majority of experts' localised spots. The hot spots have been delimited by an isoline with a suitable boundary value obtained from an optimisation technique based on a coefficient of areal correspondence and an indicator of spatial extension. This method of isolines is recommended for mapping and monitoring of the development of localities in time.

description: Nobody seems to have expected the so-called “sui generis” process of state-building in Kosovo would result in “sui generis” events and (mis)conceptions regarding fundamental issues of constitutionality and constitutional justice. Until now, almost all authors I have read praise the so-called internationalized constitutionality and constitutional justice in Kosovo. But these articles disregard the main issues with what has happened and is happening in Kosovo. It is the main goal of this contribution to enlighten the real and non-mentioned aspects of the fragile constitutional justice in Kosovo.

 Comments. This species is a member of the C. atratus clade, sensu De Andrade & Baroni Urbani (1999), and confirmed in Oliveira et al. (2021), and is characterized mainly by the bispinose cephalic corners; presence of dorsal stout spines both on the pronotum and propodeum; usually entirely jet-black body lacking scales and dense pubescence; and flattened meso- and metabasitarsi which are distally narrowed. Although the soldiers and queens ofC. serraticeps are easily separated from those in its sister species C. alfaroi Emery by the strongly crenulate frontal lobes (absent in C. alfaroi), the workers of both species are not so easily distinguished. A longitudinal, well-impressed, dorsal pronotal carina present only in workers of C. serraticeps, can be of aid. Virtually nothing is known about the natural history of this species. The workers from Ecuador were collected through canopy fogging in a temporarily flooded Amazonian forest in the beginning of the rainy season.Previous records of this species include regions of the Colombian Amazonia and Orinoquia (Sandoval-Gómez and Sánchez-Restrepo, 2019), and Amazonian lowland forests in southern Peru and Brazil (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Rondônia, Pará) (De Andrade and Baroni Urbani, 1999; Oliveira et al. 2021). A soldier (CASENT0922509) collected by P. Ward at Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica, has been recently uploaded to AntWeb (AntWeb, 2021).

description: From 1966 to 1971 Australia deployed the 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) to the Vietnam War. Australia's involvement in the war took the form of a protracted counterinsurgency campaign. Counterinsurgency campaigns often consist of thousands of seemingly unrelated minor combat incidents. Military historians using traditional techniques can find it difficult to make sense from this plethora of contacts that, individually, may seem inconsequential. Using the statistical mapping techniques we demonstrate here can tease out a comprehensible story from these thousands of otherwise apparently unrelated combat events. We tested the extent to which the Vietnamese were able to exploit the advantages of the ambush against 1ATF. Military commanders can use our methods to better understand the ebb and flow of their campaigns and to structure their operations to achieve the desired form of contact.

description: We present a 1:33,333 geomorphological map of the Rees Valley, Otago, New Zealand. The Rees River drains an area of ∼405 km2 and feeds into the head of Lake Wakatipu. This area has been affected by a range of geomorphological processes including tectonic activity, glacial erosion and deposition, mass movement, fluvial action, and base (lake) level change. Mapping was achieved by a combination of interpretation from SPOT 5 HRG satellite imagery and ground-truthing. The map presents the current distribution of landforms and sediments associated with the wide variety of contemporary and past geomorphological processes. It represents the most detailed and finest resolution geomorphological map of this region to date, and hence a number of features have been mapped and described for the first time. The map will assist on-going studies in the Rees catchment that seek to understand fluvial sediment transport and associated flood hazards, the dynamics of former glaciers, base level change associated with a drop in the level of Lake Wakatipu, and mass movement hazards.

description: Rapid exaggeration of host and pathogen traits via arms race dynamics is one possible outcome of host–pathogen coevolution. However, the exaggerated traits are expected to incur costs in terms of resource investment in other life-history traits. The current study investigated the costs associated with evolved traits in a host–pathogen coevolution system. We used the Drosophila melanogaster (host)–Pseudomonas entomophila (pathogen) system to experimentally derive two selection regimes, one where the host and pathogen both coevolved, and the other, where only the host evolved against a non-evolving pathogen. After 17 generations of selection, we found that hosts from both selected populations had better post-infection survivorship than controls. Even though the coevolving populations tended to have better survivorship post-infection, we found no clear evidence that the two selection regimes were significantly different from each other. There was weak evidence for the coevolving pathogens being more virulent than the ancestral pathogen. We found no major cost of increased post-infection survivorship. The costs were not different between the coevolving hosts and the hosts evolving against a non-evolving pathogen. We found no evolved costs in the coevolving pathogens. Thus, our results suggest that increased host immunity and pathogen virulence may not be costly.

 Comments. The morphological features of C. solidus are unique in the genus, thus reflecting its “isolated” position in the Cephalotes phylogeny sensu De Andrade and Baroni Urbani (1999) where it is the sole member of its homonym clade. Cephalotes solidus is easily distinguished from other Cephalotes mainly by the almost complete absence of spinescence and lamellae on the head and mesosoma. The humeral dorsum is the only exception which shows a slightly developed, acute denticle; the petiolar and postpetiolar nodes are usually devoid of spines as well. According to Kempf’s (1974) description, the petiolar node shows [a pair] of “prominent, stout denticle” (p. 74). No information is known about the natural history of this morphologically singular species. The specimens examined in our study were collected through canopy fogging in well-preserved, lowland Amazonian rain forests, so we assume it is arboreal. This species was previously recorded only in Brazil (Acre, Amazonas) (Janicki et al., 2016; Oliveira et al. 2021).

description: This paper presents a detailed glacial Main Map of the Great Glen region of Scotland, UK, covering an area of over 6800 km2 extending from 56°34′7″ to 57°41′1″ N and from 3°44′2″ to 5°33′24″ W. This represents the first extensive mapping of the glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen and builds upon previous studies that conducted localised field mapping or ice-sheet wide mapping using remote sensing. Particular emphasis is placed on deriving medium-scale glacial retreat patterns from these data, and examining differences in landsystem assemblages across the region. Features were typically mapped at a scale of 1:8000 to 1:10,000 and will be used to investigate the pattern and dynamics of the British-Irish Ice Sheet during deglaciation. Mapping was conducted using the NEXTMap digital terrain model. In total, 17,637 glacial landforms were mapped, with 58% identified as moraines, 23% as meltwater channels, 10% as bedrock controlled glacial lineations, 3% as eskers, 2% as cirques or arêtes, 2% as kame topography or kame terraces, and 1% as drumlins. Additionally, 10 palaeo-lake shorelines were identified. Complex landform assemblages in the form of streamlined subglacial bedforms, moraines and glaciofluvial features exist across the region. Extensive subglacial meltwater networks are found over the Monadhliath Mountain Range. Transverse and longitudinal moraine ridges generally arc across valley floors or are located on valley slopes respectively. Hummocky moraines are found almost exclusively across Rannoch Moor. Finally, eskers, meltwater channels and kame landforms form spatial relationships along the axis of Strathspey. These glacial landsystems reveal the dynamics and patterns of retreat of the British-Irish Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation.

description: Within the SEASTAR III campaign at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory, at the RIKEN Nishina Center, neutron-rich isotopes in the vicinity of ⁵³K were produced from the fragmentation of the primary ⁷⁰Zn beam on a ⁹Be target. After nucleon knockout reactions on the secondary liquid hydrogen MINOS target the known γ rays of the neutron-rich ⁵⁵Sc isotope were observed (shown in this proceedings) and γ rays from ⁵⁷,⁵⁹Sc isotopes have been identified for the first time. The evolution of the occupied nucleon orbitals of these nuclei in the ground and excited state is investigated under the prism of the tensor force.

description: Too many teachers are struggling with students’ disengagement and behavioural problems in the classroom despite extensive research findings available to them on how to create a positive, harmonious learning environment: Why is this so? The aim of this research was to understand the realities faced by frontline practitioners particularly in middle school in order (1) to identify the barriers that limit a teacher’s chances of success in creating a positive learning environment and (2) to search for the ‘right drivers’ and ultimately the actions, sometimes small, that as ‘tipping points ‘can lead to significant improvements in the classroom. A qualitative methodology, namely a constructivist form of grounded theory was selected for this exploratory research study in order to develop insights and create a theory for action. The goal was to capture teachers’ voice and to use my own reflections and voice in the research. It was found that the silence about classroom behavioural problems needs to be addressed through a school culture of transparency, openness and collegial support, and the importance of classroom management needs to be recognised as a major teaching skill at the teacher, school and system level. A balanced leadership approach is recommended based (1) essentially on prevention but also (2) on positive, respectful intervention through logical consequences when preventative measures are insufficient to guarantee a lesson free from student misbehavior, and (3) on support provided to students with more challenging behaviours in order to assist them with the development of self discipline. It is the contention of this thesis that creating positive classroom learning environments is certainly achievable, and this reasonably quickly.

description: Land consolidation is the most effective land management approach to optimize land-use structure and improve the natural environment. This study aims to shed light on land consolidation planning processes in China, and to highlight the characteristics and contents of thematic maps in provincial-level planning. The study area, Hubei Province, has an area of 1,85,900 km2 and is located in Central China. The land consolidation potential, that is, the net increase area of arable land was calculated according to the land consolidation types in each county. The spatial characteristics of land consolidation potential, key areas, and key engineering and projects were presented on a scale of 1: 5,00,000 utilizing counties as evaluation units. The thematic maps can provide important information for policymakers and planning workers, and guide any subsequent land consolidation planning at the county level in China.

description: The study introduces a map of the long-term changes in the level of land sensitivity to degradation for Italy, presented at a scale of 1:1,300,000. According to the Environmental Sensitive Area (ESA) approach, the national territory was divided into different classes of land sensitivity by assigning a score based on the observed changes in four themes (climate, soil, vegetation and land management) related to land degradation processes. The observed increase in the level of land sensitivity was rapid and spatially heterogeneous and reflects the decrease in land quality mainly due to human-derived landscape transformations. Maps illustrating the change in land sensitivity over a sufficiently long time period should be developed at country scale as a contribution to monitoring and dissemination of scientific results in the framework of the ‘Zero Net’ Land Degradation strategy introduced by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification.

 Material examined. Ecuador. Orellana: Parque Nacional Yasuní, 38 km SE Limoncocha, 0.66667°S, 76.3833°W, 120m, 2☿, 2005-07-05, Argoti, A., fogging (MEPN).
 Comments. This scantly collected species is placed in the diverse coffeae clade sensu De Andrade and Baroni Urbani (1999) and confirmed in Oliveira et al. (2021). Most of its members are extinct. Workers of C. trichophorus are morphologically very similar to those of C.setulifer Emery. The easiest way to distinguish the workers of C. trichophorus from C.setulifer is through the lateral pronotal margins: forming slight, non-spiny lamellae in C. trichophorus, while C. setulifer bears two pairs of small, feebly developed denticles anteriorly. According to the phylogeny of De Andrade and Baroni Urbani (1999), C. trichophorus is sister to C.coffeae Kempf (morphological analysis), while in Price et al. (2014) C. trichophorus is sometimes placed as sister to C. setulifer (molecular analysis), and more usually as sister to C. peruviensis De Andrade (combined morphology and molecular data) which is another related species in this clade. Although Price et al. (2014) did not include C. coffeae in their analyses is clear that morphology alone is relatively limited for clarifying relationships in these taxa which show certain degree of morphological plasticity.Nothing is known about the biology of C. trichophorus except that it has been collected in Amazonian rainforests of Brazil (Acre) using arboreal pitfall traps (Oliveira et al., 2021). Currently examined specimens were collected through fogging in a well-preserved Amazonian rain forest. This species was previously reported only in Peru and Brazil (Acre, Amazonas) (Andrade and Baroni Urbani, 1999; Oliveira et al., 2021).

description: Geckos with a leaf-toed morphology (digits with a single pair of enlarged adhesive pads located terminally) occur on six continents and many islands. Although most leaf-toed gecko genera belong to independently derived lineages, recent studies support the monophyly of a circum-Indian Ocean group including four genera from disparate regions: the southern African genera Afrogecko and Cryptactites, the Malagasy genus Matoatoa, and the Australian genus Christinus. We obtained molecular and/or morphological data for most species in these genera to estimate phylogenetic relationships among constituent species and infer broad historical biogeographic patterns. Our results confirm that Afrogecko is not monophyletic, and that Christinus is embedded among African taxa. Afrogecko is comprised of three lineages, each of which is distinct in external features and osteology. Based on these results, we partition Afrogecko and recognize two new genera. Molecular clock analyses suggest divergences within the circum-Indian Ocean group are too recent for Gondwanan vicariance or hypothesized land bridges (e.g. Kerguelen Plateau) to account for the observed Africa/Madagascar/Australia distributional pattern. Ancestral area analyses support an origin of the clade in mainland Africa or Madagascar, and imply a dispersal event from southern Africa to Australia, similar to those observed in some plant and arthropod taxa, but otherwise unknown among non-volant terrestrial vertebrates. Dispersal was likely via a southern route and may have been facilitated by island hopping using Antarctica or other southern landmasses available in the mid-Cainozoic.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:7706B624-CD49-45CC-9DA3-FAB370BEE12B).

 Comments. This uncommonly collected species belongs to the N. crenata group sensu Mackay and Mackay (2010). This species is very similar to N. unidentata Mayr and N. donosoi Mackay & Mackay, but mainly differs from them in the form of the petiolar node in profile, with its posterior face slightly domed (evenly convex in both N. unidentata and N. donosoi); in addition, N. antecurvata usually bears few (ca. four) coarse horizontal striae ventrally on the subpetiolar process (clearly more and less coarse in N. unidentata, and few feeble striations in N. donosoi). Neoponera antecurvata is likely arboreal and apparently prefers well-preserved habitats (see alsoLongino, 2002). Current records were collected with canopy fogging in mature Amazonian lowland wet forests. This species has been previously recorded in Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, Peru, and Brazil (Amazonas) (Mackay and Mackay, 2010).

description: In this study we examined the current structure and regeneration status of mixed Araucaria araucana–Nothofagus spp. stands that had been logged 20 years ago. We measured stand density of saplings, juvenile and adult trees, as well as stand basal area of A. araucana and Nothofagus spp. in 69 plots distributed in five sites in order to characterise diameter distributions using a Weibull function. Araucaria araucana represented 23–75% of total stand density (69–197 trees ha−1) and total basal area (17.5–54.9 m2 ha−1), and the remaining tree species were Nothofagus pumilio, N. dombeyi and N. obliqua. Stand density of A. araucana juveniles ranged from 106 to 1 422 plants ha−1, whereas juveniles of Nothofagus spp. ranged from 4 to 495 plants ha−1. Based on the fitted Weibull distribution function, the shape of the diameter distribution for A. araucana individuals ≥10 cm dbh was dominated by the reverse-J (c = 1.0) and mound-shaped (c = 1.26) forms. The Weibull shape parameter of N. pumilio indicated that the diameter distributions were positively skewed. These results are indicative of a good regeneration status for A. araucana and a medium one for N. pumilio. Stand characteristics were used to predict regeneration of A. araucana on the study sites using a principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA showed that regeneration, including seedlings and saplings, was higher in those stands including high values of density of A. araucana. Stand density of juvenile trees in stands where A. araucana had been previously logged suggests that harvesting during the 1980s may have provided occasional recruitment sites where shading may have otherwise precluded regeneration. The results of the study improve our understanding of the ecology, dynamics and succession of mixed A. araucana–Nothofagus forests in southern South America.
Culture-independent analysis of the bacteriology associated with acute otitis media in Indigenous Australian children

description: Otitis media is endemic in many remote Indigenous Australian communities. Children in remote communities develop otitis media in the first weeks of life and are at high-risk of progression to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). Current therapeutic and preventive interventions are of limited benefit. This thesis presents a culture-independent analysis of the bacteriology associated with acute otitis media in Indigenous children from the Northern Territory. The objective of the study was to use culture-independent methods to better understand the bacteriology underlying acute otitis media in this population. Principle findings from the study are as follows: 1. Nasopharyngeal total or pathogenic bacterial loads are unsuitable as prognostic indicators of clinical antibiotic treatment outcomes in Indigenous children with acute otitis media. 2. Alloiococcus otitidis is present in ear discharge from Indigenous children with acute otitis media, potentially as a secondary middle ear pathogen. Further studies to test for A. otitidis in CSOM are warranted. 3. T-RFLP can provide broad characterisation of bacterial communities in upper respiratory specimens; however, it is limited by methodological biases which result in underestimation of bacterial richness. 4. Despite the methodological limitations, T-RFLP analysis demonstrated significant differences between nasopharyngeal and ear discharge bacterial communities in Indigenous children with acute otitis media with perforation, suggesting divergence of the middle ear microbiome following secondary infection by canal flora. 5. 16S rRNA gene microarray (PhyloChipTM) analysis of ear discharge from Indigenous children with acute otitis media with perforation indicates a high-level of bacterial richness which is hypothesised to contribute to progression to CSOM. Prospective longitudinal studies are now required to better understand the canal flora before perforation, the microbiology of acute otitis media immediately following perforation, and microbiomic changes associated with prolonged perforation. Such studies will aid understanding of the pathogenesis of acute otitis media with perforation and progression to CSOM, and potentially reveal new therapeutic targets or prevention strategies.

 Comments. This species can be distinguished by its posterior head margin being clearly concave medially; eyes present; mandible with four similarly sized teeth; and external mid tibial surface without thick and short hairs (Fernández and Guerrero, 2019). This species is rarely collected, and nothing is known about its biology (L.Souza-Barros, pers. comm., Dec-2021). APP found some workers in a foothill forest off the pacific coast in southern Ecuador. Simopelta laticeps was previously reported for Colombia, Peru, and French Guiana (Guénard et al., 2017).

description: In this study we designed novel substituted benzimidazole derivatives and predicted their absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties, based on a predictive 3D QSAR study on 132 substituted benzimidazoles as AngII–AT1 receptor antagonists. The two best predicted compounds were synthesized and evaluated for AngII–AT1 receptor antagonism. Three different alignment tools for comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were used. The best 3D QSAR models were obtained using the rigid body (Distill) alignment method. CoMFA and CoMSIA models were found to be statistically significant with leave-one-out correlation coefficients (q2) of 0.630 and 0.623, respectively, cross-validated coefficients (r2cv) of 0.651 and 0.630, respectively, and conventional coefficients of determination (r2) of 0.848 and 0.843, respectively. 3D QSAR models were validated using a test set of 24 compounds, giving satisfactory predicted results (r2pred) of 0.727 and 0.689 for the CoMFA and CoMSIA models, respectively. We have identified some key features in substituted benzimidazole derivatives, such as lipophilicity and H-bonding at the 2- and 5-positions of the benzimidazole nucleus, respectively, for AT1 receptor antagonistic activity. We designed 20 novel substituted benzimidazole derivatives and predicted their activity. In silico ADMET properties were also predicted for these designed molecules. Finally, the compounds with best predicted activity were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro angiotensin II–AT1 receptor antagonism.

description: The Sand lizard Lacerta agilis inhabits a huge area across Eurasia with several subspecies. Nine subspecies are generally approved, L. a. agilis, L. a. argus, L. a. bosnica; L. a. chersonensis, L. a. exigua, L. a. grusinica, L. a. iorinensis, L. a. brevicaudata and L. a. boemica, but several more have been described. The emergence of this large number of subspecies is connected with the phylogeographic history of this species, defined by geographic and climatic processes. A study revealing phylogenetic relationships of this species was already conducted with a broad taxon sampling and coverage. However, the latter study was based solely on the cytochrome b gene and, furthermore, the Balkan Peninsula inhabited by the subspecies L. a. bosnica was underrepresented. This peninsula is a centre of European herpetofaunal endemism with high levels of phenotypic and genotypic variation. Therefore, the inclusion of the subspecies L. a. bosnica is important to clarify the overall view of the phylogenetic relations within the Lacerta agilis subspecies complex and to investigate the level of population differentiation within this highly diverse area. Thus, the aim of the present study was a more thorough analysis of the Balkan Peninsula with a broader taxon sampling. Furthermore, we extended the available datasets by adding the mitochondrial d-loop region and by further samples of different areas of the distribution range apart from the Balkan Peninsula. Our study reveals that the Balkan Peninsula is apparently inhabited by several differentiated lineages, whereby the Central Greek lineage might deserve subspecies status. Furthermore, the distribution area of the two subspecies L. a. agilis and L. a. argus should be revised, as the results of our study raise doubt about the commonly assumed distribution of both subspecies. As the most important outcome our results support that L. a. boemica deserves species status.

description: Geckos with a leaf-toed morphology (digits with a single pair of enlarged adhesive pads located terminally) occur on six continents and many islands. Although most leaf-toed gecko genera belong to independently derived lineages, recent studies support the monophyly of a circum-Indian Ocean group including four genera from disparate regions: the southern African genera Afrogecko and Cryptactites, the Malagasy genus Matoatoa, and the Australian genus Christinus. We obtained molecular and/or morphological data for most species in these genera to estimate phylogenetic relationships among constituent species and infer broad historical biogeographic patterns. Our results confirm that Afrogecko is not monophyletic, and that Christinus is embedded among African taxa. Afrogecko is comprised of three lineages, each of which is distinct in external features and osteology. Based on these results, we partition Afrogecko and recognize two new genera. Molecular clock analyses suggest divergences within the circum-Indian Ocean group are too recent for Gondwanan vicariance or hypothesized land bridges (e.g. Kerguelen Plateau) to account for the observed Africa/Madagascar/Australia distributional pattern. Ancestral area analyses support an origin of the clade in mainland Africa or Madagascar, and imply a dispersal event from southern Africa to Australia, similar to those observed in some plant and arthropod taxa, but otherwise unknown among non-volant terrestrial vertebrates.

description: Experimentally, it is known that very small amounts of thorium and/or cerium added to iridium metal form a precipitate, Ir5Th/Ir5Ce, which improves the high-temperature mechanical properties of the resulting alloys. We demonstrate that there are low-energy configurations for nanoscale precipitates of these phases in Ir, and that these coherent arrangements may assist in producing improved mechanical properties. One precipitate/matrix orientation gives a particularly low interfacial energy, and a low lattice misfit. Nanolayer precipitates with this orientation are found to be likely to form with little driving force to coarsen. The predicted morphology of the precipitates and their orientation with the matrix phase provide a potential experiment that could be used to test these predictions.

description: Gas phase acidity and basicity estimation models have been developed for acidic and basic functional groups of amino acid side-chains and also for a number of small organic molecules. The acidic functional groups include aliphatic and aromatic alcohol, and aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acid, and the basic functional groups include aliphatic, aromatic and hetero-aromatic amines, and also pyridino-, pyrazolo- and imidazolo-groupings. The models are described in terms of a linear combination of descriptors that highly influence reactivity at the reaction centres of the functional groups. In order to describe the chemical environments of the deprotonating and protonating sites, atomic descriptors such as the effective atomic electronegativity and effective atomic polarizability of the atoms in the reaction field and the electrostatic potentials at the reaction sites have been introduced. The coefficient of determination (r2) of each model is above 0.8, apart from the imidazole model. The models are readily applicable, ranging from simple organic molecules to proteins.
