Chileanoscopus serrulatus

description: Chileanoscopus serrulatus Xue, McKamey & Zhang, sp. nov.
(Figs. 1, 3)
Description. Length (including wings): male 4.3–4.4 mm.
Crown yellowish, with brownish markings. Face stramineous, with brownish and black markings; lateral and base margin of anteclypeus black, apical region brown; base of antenna black (Fig. 1 C). Female color similar to male, except face without more black markings (Fig. 1 D).
Male abdomen with tergal apodemes broad, longer than one segment long (Fig. 3 D).
Male genital. Style lateral lobe rounded, without hook or pointed (Fig. 3 G). Aedeagal shaft slightly broad, obviously curved dorsally, nearly beyond dorsal apodeme, surface with irregularly serrate (Figs. 3 E–F).
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, Chile, San Sebastian, nr. Cartagena, 1961. v.19, coll. N.L.H. Krauss (USNM). Paratypes: 15♂♂ 31♀♀, same data as holotype (USNM).
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the serrate margins of the aedeagal shaft.
Remarks. This new species is similar to C. hichinsi (Heller, 1969) in body color, but can be distinguished by the serrate aedeagal shaft that is obviously curved dorsally, and the male tergal apodemes slightly longer than the length of one segment.

description: Paraphrase generation is an important and challenging NLG problem. In this work, we propose a new Identification-then-Aggregation (IA) framework to tackle this task. In the identification step, the input tokens are sorted into two groups by a novel Primary/Secondary Identification (PSI) algorithm. In the aggregation step, these groups are separately encoded, before being aggregated by a custom designed decoder, which autoregressively generates the paraphrased sentence. In extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets, we demonstrate that our model outperforms previous studies by a notable margin. We also show that the proposed approach can generate paraphrases in an interpretable and controllable way.

description: Retirement generally marks the end of working life and the start of a new life-stage, providing the potential for new contents and opportunities, while requiring adaptation of existing roles. Retired Swiss farming men and women usually continue working and living on the farm, but their roles change. Drawing on conceptual approaches from gerontology research, we first aim to comprehend how farming men and women experience and understand retirement by describing major aspects of adaptation during their transition to retirement. Second, we appraise the relevance of the retirement concept for the farming population. Qualitative-empirical evidence shows that retired farming men and women continue to devote time and energy to the farm for the sake of farm continuity and to maintain the farmers’ work ethic, while transferring financial and managerial responsibility. Poor health and the inability to contribute physically to the family farm appear as major threats for ‘ageing’ farmers.

description: With the emergence of Bitcoin and recently proposed stablecoins from BigTechs, such as Diem (formerly Libra), central banks face growing competition from private actors offering their own digital alternative to physical cash. We do not address the normative question whether a central bank should issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or not. Instead, we contribute to the current research debate by showing how a central bank could do so, if desired. We propose a token-based system without distributed ledger technology and show how earlier-deployed, software-only electronic cash can be improved upon to preserve transaction privacy, meet regulatory requirements in a compelling way, and offer a level of quantum-resistant protection against systemic privacy risk. Neither monetary policy nor financial stability would be materially affected because a CBDC with this design would replicate physical cash rather than bank deposits.

description: Learn how to make a traditional bed that is sometimes still used among the Ilchamus of Kenya. This type of bed is now being quickly replaced by modern bed frames. However, the traditional bed holds many symbolic meanings separating the space between male and female, while also being an important place for storing the father’s milk and hanging the calabashes. The hanging calabashes also help to decorate an otherwise simple exterior. In making the bed, The Namayana group shows their expertise and knowledge of traditions, as well as that it is a time when people socialise, talk and sing.

description: Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at substantial risk of malnutrition, which negatively affects clinical outcomes. We investigated the association of kidney function assessed at hospital admission and effectiveness of nutritional support in hospitalized medical patients at risk of malnutrition. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an investigator-initiated, randomized-controlled, Swiss multicenter trial (EFFORT) that compared individualised nutritional support with usual hospital food on clinical outcomes. We compared effects of nutritional support on mortality in subgroups of patients stratified according to kidney function at the time of hospital admission (estimated glomerular filtration rates [eGFR] <15, 15-29, 30-59, 60-89 and ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2). Results: We included 1943 of 2028 patients (96%) from the original trial with known admission creatinine levels. Admission eGFR was a strong predictor for the beneficial effects of nutritional support in regard to lowering of 30-day mortality. Patients with an eGFR <15, 15-29 and 30-59 had the strongest mortality benefit (odds ratios [95%CI] of 0.24 [0.05 to 1.25], 0.37 [0.14 to 0.95] and 0.39 [0.21 to 0.75], respectively), while patients with less severe impairment in kidney function had a less pronounced mortality benefits (p for interaction 0.001). A similar stepwise association of kidney function and response to nutritional support was found also for other secondary outcomes. Conclusion: In medical inpatients at nutritional risk, admission kidney function was a strong predictor for the response to nutritional therapy. Initial kidney function may help to individualize nutritional support in the future by identification of patients with most clinical benefit.

description: Introduction The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries of the knee. Women have a higher injury rate for ACL ruptures than men. Various indicators for this sex-specific difference are controversially discussed. Aim A systematic review of the literature that compares surface electromyography (EMG) values of adult female and male subjects to find out if there is a difference in neuromuscular activation of the knee stabilizing muscles. Methods This systematic review has been guided and informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies which examined sex-specific differences with surface EMG measurements (integral, root mean squares, mean values, analysis of time and amplitude) of the knee stabilizing muscles were retrieved via searches from the databases PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, CENTRAL and SPORTDiscus. The risk of bias of included studies was assessed with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) study quality assessment tool. A synthesis of results was performed for relevant outcomes. Results Fifteen studies with 462 healthy participants, 233 women (mean age 21.9 (± 2.29) years) and 299 men (mean age 22.6 (± 2.43) years), were included in the systematic review. The methodological quality of the studies was mostly rated “fair” (40%). A significantly higher activity of the muscles vastus lateralis and vastus medialis was found in females, in three studies. Two studies found significantly lower neuromuscular activity in the muscles biceps femoris and semitendinosus in females. All other included studies found no significant differences or reported even contradicting results. Conclusion The controversial findings do not allow for a concluding answer to the question of a sex-specific neuromuscular activation. Further research with higher statistical power and a more homogeneous methodical procedure (tasks and data normalisation) of the included studies may provide insight into possibly existing sex-specific differences in neuromuscular activation. This systematic review could help to improve the methodical design of future studies to get a more valid conclusion of the issue. Trial registration CRD42020189504.

Amnesties for Political Crimes: From Terrorism to Dissent

Subjects: Peace Processes

description: "This report explores the complex role of amnesties in addressing political crimes. It analyses how this category of offences is applied to diverse activities ranging from participating in armed insurgencies to engaging in non-violent dissent in non-conflict settings. Drawing on a sample of 374 amnesties for political crimes that were enacted from 1990 to 2023, the report finds that contrary to observations drawing from extradition law that the political offence exception is disappearing, amnesties continue to be used within states to create exceptions in the application of criminal justice. The report argues that the expansion of the counter-terrorism framework, which has eroded protections for combatants contained in international humanitarian law, and the growing criminalization of dissent have both served to expand the repressive use of criminal law, which amnesties for political offences often seek to remedy. The report further analyses how the legality of amnesties for political crimes may depend the context in which the crimes were committed, the types of political offences covered by the amnesty, and how they intersect with the duty to prosecute international criminal and serious human rights violations and with human rights law protections for individual’s rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and political participation."
Trennungsabstände für Blitzschutzsysteme

description: Damit bei einem Blitzeinschlag in ein Gebäude keine Überschläge zwischen dem Blitzschutzsystem und sonstigen leitenden Teilen entstehen, ist zwischen ihnen ein Abstand nötig. Der minimale Abstand hängt dabei von der geforderten Blitzschutzklasse und der jeweiligen Situation ab. In der Schweiz regeln zwei Normen die Berechnung des nötigen Trennungsabstands. Einerseits gibt es die europäische Norm SN-EN62305, die die Blitzschutzauslegung ausführlich beschreibt. Für Praktiker, die Anlagen planen oder überprüfen, ist die Anwendung dieser Norm sehr aufwendig. Damit Blitzschutzsysteme von kleineren Bauten schneller und einfacher erstellt werden können, wurde in der Schweiz eine Vereinfachung der SN-EN eingeführt: die SN-Regel SNR464022. Da der Trennungsabstand in beiden Normen unterschiedlich berechnet wird, müssen sich die Planer von Blitzschutzanlagen überlegen, welche Berechnungsart sie in der Praxis wählen. In dieser Untersuchung wurden die Berechnungsmethoden nach SNR und SN-EN anhand verschiedener Auslegungsbeispiele in Bezug auf die resultierenden Trennungsabstände verglichen. Die Analyse ergab, dass keine Methode stets die kürzesten Trennungsabstände ergibt. Es hängt von der Situation ab, mit welcher Berechnungsmethode man die kürzesten Trennungsabstände erhält. Allerdings liefert der Standardansatz der SN-EN bei einfach geformten Gebäuden oft die kürzesten Trennungsabstände oder zumindest solche, die gegenüber der kürzesten Variante nur geringfügig überdimensioniert sind. Der Standardansatz ist daher eine gute erste Wahl, um die Trennungsabstände zu bestimmen.

description: "Developed within the framework of the Global Fragmentation and Peacemaking Initiative, this report aims to bolster the project’s research efforts and serve as a concise manual for semi-automated coding in the broader field of conflict mediation studies. The report, and related database building endeavour, delves into the evolving dynamics of mediation efforts, and third-party involvement. This project leverages recent advances in computational tools and machine learning to automate the analysis of vast quantities of text data related to conflict mediation. By automating the process of identifying, categorizing, and extracting relevant information from diverse online sources, this approach overcomes the limitations of manual coding methods. This allows researchers to access and analyse a much wider range of data, including sources that were previously difficult or impossible to comprehensively access manually."

description: "In September 2024, the Transitional Government of South Sudan announced another two-year extension of the transitional period, pushing it to February 2027. This marks the fourth extension since the revitalized peace agreement was signed in 2018, turning what was originally planned as a three-year transition into one lasting nearly a decade. Up to this point, South Sudanese have been remarkably tolerant of the delays and gaps in implementation in the peace process. However, scepticism and doubt are becoming increasingly apparent among some segments of the population. If the parties are not seen to be making more substantial progress on key aspects of the agreement, including security arrangements, constitution-making, transitional justice and national elections, there is a risk that the process may lose credibility in the eyes of the people, raising fundamental questions about the legitimacy of the transitional government. This policy brief presents data on citizen trust in the transitional process from a series of opinion polls that Detcro, PeaceRep, and the Raising Civil Voices program have collected from 2021-24. Respondents were asked about their daily experiences of safety, drawing on indicators of everyday peace, developed through qualitative research during the project’s inception phase. They also shared their views on a wide range of governance and security topics."

description: Rice is considered to be moderately salt-tolerant during germination, development, and ripening stages, and environmentally sensitive during seedling and reproductive stages, which affects seedling emergence and growth, resulting in significant yield losses. Seed conditioning with chitosan has been employed as a useful tool in high-salinity environments with the aim of increasing crop productivity and quality, as well as promoting more sustainable agricultural practices. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of seed conditioning with chitosan on seed germination and rice seedling growth under salinity stress. The experiment consisted of three seeds conditioning and 4 salinity levels, arranged in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. Seeds were sown on germitest paper, and the rolls were placed in a germination chamber (25 ± 2°C and 12 hr photoperiod). Germination and seedling growth parameters were determined. The high salt concentration resulted in reduced growth of rice seedlings, and exogenous application of chitosan at different concentrations and soaking times exerted no apparent adverse effect on germination and growth variables. The attenuating effect of chitosan was observed in the length of the seedlings at all the concentrations utilized. Therefore, evidence indicates that conditioning rice seeds with chitosan might serve as an alternative to mitigate the adverse effects of exposure to stress induced by high salt concentrations.

description: This thesis critically examines the Biden administration's unprecedented seizure of billions in Afghan central bank assets following the return of the Taliban to power. It begins with a detailed history of Afghanistan’s relations with great powers, the American war in Afghanistan, and the contentious American withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. Then, it explores the intricacies of the decision-making process that led to the Biden administration’s bold foreign policy maneuver, considering its legal, ethical, and geopolitical dimensions. This thesis shines a light on this opaque and underreported action by the Biden administration. It details the trajectory of the billions currently parked in the Afghan Fund, a charitable foundation in Switzerland, as well as the billions remaining in the United States as potential compensation for victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. This thesis goes on to study the potential lessons that can be gleaned from this unique case study, such as the ramifications of treating adversaries’ assets in this way, retribution on behalf of American families, and the impact of such actions on larger foreign policy objectives in an era of evolving global threats. It also explains the broader picture of this move within the broader context of the Biden administration’s foreign policy. Finally, this thesis provides policy recommendations on how the Afghan Fund can be better optimized for its stated objectives.

Poecilopompilus

description: Poecilopompilus
On two occasions, a female Poecilopompilus sp. was observed transporting an adult female of an undetermined species of crab spider (Misumenops sp.) (Video 3). The wasp dragged the paralyzed crab spider with its dorsal side upwards. The wasp carried her host by grasping a foreleg with the mandibles and deposited the spider near the nest entrance (approx. 1m). After depositing the host (see from 05sec in Video 4), the wasp probably started to search for the nest entrance. This behavior continued for 2min05sec (Video 4). When the wasp located the nest, it entered and left the nest, possibly inspecting it. In sequence, the wasp returned to the site where the paralyzed host was left, grasped it again (i.e., in the same manner as described above) and carried it directly into the nest.
The nest was simple, a 16 cm tunnel angled downwards ~45° in relation to the surface, with 2 cm diameter. The nest was located on the edge of low vegetation (i.e., grass) (Figs 13–14) surrounding the trail. There was no construction of a temporary closure to protect the nest during the hunting period. However, throughout the permanent closure, the wasp filled the nest with soil from the previous excavation, using the forelegs, and compacted the soil by pressing the pygidial plate against the burrow walls (Video 5). In the final step, the wasp started biting the edge of the burrow with the mandibles to remove loose soil. The wasp also manipulated the soil with its forelegs and compacted it with the pygidium. We did not find egg laying on the spider. Finally, the recorded ethological sequence can be categorized as VPTC.

description: Objective: Turn sections represent the second largest part of total race time in 1500 m freestyle races and may substantially affect race results. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate individual race strategies and compare the effect of start, swim, and turn performances between short-course and long-course races. Video footages were collected from all 16 male finalists at the 2018 short and 2019 long-course World swimming championships (age 23.06 ± 2.3 years, FINA points 941 ± 42) for subsequently analysis of start, turn, and swim performance. Results: The larger number of turns in short-course races resulted in significantly faster race times (p = 0.004), but slower mean turn times compared to long-course races (p < 0.001). Total race velocity closely correlated with swim and turn but not start section velocity in short- (r ≥ 0.80, p ≤ 0.017) and long-course races (r ≥ 0.83, p ≤ 0.011). Analysis of individual race strategies showed that turn performance affected race results in 6 (75%) and 3 (37.5%) of the 8 world-best 1500 m swimmers in short-course and long-course races, respectively. Medal standing was improved for 1st, 3rd, and 4th ranked short- as well as 1st and 2nd ranked long-course finalist. Coaches, athletes, and performance analysts may carefully consider the importance of turn performance additionally to free-swimming skills.

Norms of Acceptability and Adequacy in the Translation of Children’s Literature: The Case of Robinson Crusoe

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 44

description: Robinson Crusoe is a literary text that raises moral and ethical issues related to violence and colonialism. The motivation of this study is to shine the light on the translation of children’s literature into Arabic and to open up a discussion about what is considered to be “good” or acceptable for the children to read. This study is primarily a comparative analysis which aims to specify how the translations by Kamil Kailani (2012) and Marwa Al-Haq (2013) deal with violence and colonialism, and to what extent the two translators were successful in respecting the values of Arab culture through the strategies they have adopted. In order to achieve this aim, the texts are analyzed based on: 1) their degree of acceptability and 2) their degree of adequacy to the ST (Toury 1995). The process of analysis adopts Newmark’s (1988) translation criticism plan as it explores textual elements like register and tone as well as cultural references. The results suggest that Kailani’s translation succeeds in being both acceptable and adequate through the use of the strategy of domestication. Similarly, Al-Haq’s translation succeeds in being acceptable but fails with regards to being adequate. These findings support the claim that children’s literature is governed by norms and values that promote and sustain the protection of young minds from offensive and distasteful topics, in this case, violence and colonialism.

description: Seasonal rain can clean PV panels from dirt and droppings that may have accumulated over time. Therefore, PV installations in regions where rainfall is frequent do not necessarily need mechanical cleaning in order to optimize the financial yield of the PV system. In the present work, the effect of rain events on the performance of several PV plants in Switzerland is evaluated. Collected energy yield data is analyzed and used to calculate the performance ratio (PR) of the investigated PV systems. The PR is calculated before and after various precipitation events. The self-cleaning mechanism is correlated to the intensity of precipitation events. It has been shown that light precipitation can accelerate the soiling of PV modules, while heavy precipitation cleans the modules.. In this paper, a threshold for effective rainfall is calculated and the frequency of such events in the investigated locations is given. It could be shown that for the systems under investigation, precipitation events until 15 mm per day increase soiling, whereas precipitation events above 15 mm clean the modules. However, the uncertainty of these values is big.
