description: Genus Norileca Bruce, 1990
Norileca Bruce, 1990: 289.— Bruce, Lew Ton & Poore 2002: 181.— Wal, Smit & Hadfield, 2017: 163–175.
Type species. Livoneca indica Milne Edwards, 1840, by original designation (Bruce 1990).
Diagnosis. Bruce (1990) and Wal et al. (2017) provided a provisional diagnosis for this genus.
Reamarks. Norileca can be identified by the body weakly vaulted dorsally, twisted to one side; cephalon posterior margin weakly or not trilobed; coxae narrow, those of pereonites 3–7 shorter than respective segment; pleonites 1 and 2 without ventrolateral processes, pleonites 1–5 becoming progressively narrower; uropods not extending beyond posterior of pleote1son; uropods not extending beyond posterior margin of pleotelson.
Bruce (1990) and Wal et al. (2017) discussed this genus is most similar to Livoneca with which it shares a similar pereopod, cephalon and pleon morphology, all of which are robust and lacking an expanded carina on the base of the pereopods; the cephalon posterior margin is trilobed; and the lateral margin of pleonites 1–3 are never bilobed. Other major differences to Livoneca are the expanded mandible palp article, lack of folds on endopods of pleopods 3 and 4 and lack of branchiated pleopod peduncles (Bruce 1990). Norileca can be distinguished from other cymothoid genera by pleonite 1 being the widest of the pleonites, as well as its weakly twisted body shape (Hadfield 2012).

description: Pennella varians Steenstrup & Lutken, 1861
Not valid. Described from both the copepodid stage recovered from the intermediate host (squid) and the adult female collected from dolphinfish, Coryphaena sp. in the Atlantic Ocean. There is nothing in the original report which positively proves that the larval form on squid is the same species as the adults found on Coryphaena. Adult specimens of P. varians from Coryphaena exhibited short holdfast horns (Steenstrup & Lutken 1861). Steenstrup & Lutken (1861) found specimens of P. varians in various stages of metamorphosis on the dolphinfish and competently described and figured each. However, they also found adults of P. filosa on the same host species. Pennella varians from the original description was likely a younger female of P. filosa in the midst of development. In all other structural aspects they strongly resemble P. filosa (also frequently found on this host; Wilson 1917; Garcia et al. 2010) in overall size, cephalothoracic papillae, holdfast horn configuration and trunk/ abdomen structure. The adult form of P. varians has not been reported since the original record. As the adult parasite on the definitive host, a phenotype and synonym of P. filosa.

W. E. B. Du Bois’s quest to challenge scientific racism, 1906–1932
Creators: name: Foreman, Deirdre
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This is a historical study of W. E. B. Du Bois’s quest to challenge scientific racism by educating Black Americans on Negro history and culture at the 135th Street Branch of the New York Public Library. W. E. B. Du Bois discovered that the silence and neglect of science had distorted and erased the truth regarding the history and culture of the Black race. Thus, he believed that it was his duty to change the perception of the Black race contrary to how science had defined it. Du Bois used the 135th Street Branch Library in its role in the Harlem community as an urban repository and a center for Black studies to educate the Black masses on Negro history and culture. To show that Blacks were not of an inferior race, Du Bois provided evidence to counter the claims of science.  Du Bois developed an empirical framework based on social scientific research of Blacks in cities and engaged the scientific community on both the domestic and international fronts. This study examined the historical relationship between the evolution of Du Bois’s thinking on race and science and his “anti-racialism,” exemplified in two critical moments in his career: his attendance at the First Universal Race Congress in London and his work at the 135th Street Branch Library. The aim of this research was (a) to explain the history of scientific racism as it relates to the intellectual development of Du Bois’s thinking on race and science; (b) to understand Du Bois’s role in Harlem and how the 135th Street Branch library was a part of it, and (c) to describe the issues in the history of urbanization, cities, and race and how they relate to Du Bois and to Harlem. Historical research was applied in the form of (a) archives; (b) primary and secondary sources, such as articles, newspaper clippings, and monographs; (c) audiovisual materials, such as photos; and (d) observations. Validity and reliability of the findings derive from these multiple data sources. This work contributes to research in the fields of history, education, ethnology, anthropology, sociology, and urban studies.

description: Jersey Homesteads (later Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community.  It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. The Jersey Homesteads settlers devised this proposal to protect their rights in the community, and to foster better communication between the settlers and the government. They organized the Jersey Homesteads Protective Association to represent the interests of all the settlers. The Association's purpose was four-fold: to safeguard the interest of the settlers; to conduct all negotiations with the government on matters that concern Homestead; to safeguard the interests of every individual settler; and to support and help the development of the cooperative character of the settlement.  The administration consisted of fifteen members who were elected at the annual meeting with all the members, and settlers were eligible for membership when they passed a government inspection.

Ryukyua Williams & Bunkley-Williams, 1994: 155–161.— Vigneshwaran, Ravichandran & Martin, 2018d: 199.
Livoneca — Pillai, 1954: 17; 1964: 218–220 [partim].
Type species. Ryukyua globosa Williams & Bunkley-Williams, 1994, by holotype.
Diagnosis. A detailed diagnosis was given by Williams & Bunkley-Williams (1994) and Vigneshwaran et al. (2018d).
Remarks. Williams & Bunkley-Williams (1994) provided the provisional diagnosis of the genus Ryukyua. Ryukyua can be identified by the strongly hunched and spherical body; mandibular palp all distinct article 3 short; coxae partially visible dorsally; uropods small relative to body size, rami elongate-oval, subequal in length.
Ryukyua shares several characters with Cterissa Schiöedte & Meinert, 1884. Both genera are similar with regard to their cephalon and pereon morphology, cephalon small deeply immersed into pereonite 1, posterior margin not trilobed; pereonite 1 short, lateral margins convex, wider than two thirds the length of pereonite 2; pereonites 6 and 7 decreasing in width and length posteriorly, widest at pereonites 4 and 5; pereonite 7 posterior margin deeply concave, lateral margin produced posteriorly and overlapping lateral margin of pleonites 3–5. Ryukyua can be distinguished from Cterissa in having symmetrical body coxae 2–3 narrow with posteroventral angles rounded; coxae 4–7 acute, partially visible in dorsal view (vs coxae of pereonites all wide rounded and visible in dorsal view in Cterissa) and pleonites 1–3 lateral margins which are not bilobed. The genus Ryukyua distinguished from other known cymothoid genera by hunched and spherical body.

description: Undetermined Pennella sp.
A Pennella which is likely a distinct species, but has not previously been assigned to any known member of the genus has been documented. Nagasawa et al. (1984) identified a Pennella sp. from the saury (Cololabris saira) in the north Pacific. The parasite is clearly different from any of its congeners based on photographs of recovered specimens (Nagasawa et al. 1984). The cephalothoracic papillae are dendritic and form a large mass covering the entire apical end of the parasite, a feature not yet reported from any other species of Pennella. Nagasawa et al. (1984, 1988) reported on the population dynamics and geographical distribution of the parasite; the authors were reluctant to classify the specimens further than the generic diagnosis based on the poor taxonomic condition of the genus.

Pseudirona laeopsi Pillai, 1964: 222–223, fig. 6.— Trilles, Ravichandran & Rameshkumar, 2011: 453.
Type and type locality. Pillai (1964) collected specimens from the gill chamber of Laeops macrophthalmus (Alcock, 1889) from Anchuthengu, Trivandrum, Kerala Coast, Arabian Sea. The author reported that the holotype female is deposited in the Indian Museum but the detail of the accession number is not available in the original description. The present museum inquiries, at the Indian museum, failed to recover any material for P. laeopsi and it seems that the types were either not submitted or it was lost.
Remarks. Pseudirona laeopsi was not reported since its original description by Pillai (1964). Pseudirona laeopsi can be distinguished from other cymothoid species by the extremely spiny and setose appendages. Until now the identification of this species is based only on Pillai’s original description and it needs an accurate redescription.
Distribution. Trivandrum, Kerala Coast, India (type locality) (Pillai 1964).
Host. Known only from type host Laeops macrophthalmus (Alcock, 1889) (Pillai 1964).

description: The following list was prepared by David B. Snyder, Consultant, for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Natural Lands Management (ONLM). Our objective in contracting with Mr. Snyder was to obtain a prioritized up-to-date list of those species that ONLM should consider of immediate importance for protection efforts. It is used internally for natural resource planning and management practices and is available to the public. We hope that this list will increase public awareness of this neglected feature of our natural heritage and also stimulate public involvement in plant protection at the local level. It is important to note that this list is not official, as no legislation currently exists mandating its formation or providing protection for these species. Also, the State has not attempted to obtain internal or public review of the list. We do feel that this list should be considered a solid basis for any future legislatively-mandated list subsequent to a thorough review by the public and government agencies.

description: Genus Pseudirona Pillai, 1964
Pseudirona Pillai, 1964: 220–221.
Type species. Pseudirona laeopsi Pillai, 1964 by monotype.
Diagnosis of female. Body slightly asymmetrical, cephalon broadly triangular, with well-developed dorsally placed eyes. Peraeonites 1–3 subequal in length, peraeonite 1 antero-laterally produced into conical lobes, peraeonites 4–7 subequal in length and breadth, peraeonite 7 considerably overlapping pleon. Coxae well-developed and projecting. Pleon well immersed in peraeon, increasing in width backwards, fifth segment longest, first completely hidden by the peraeon. Peleotelson as broad as pleon, transversely oblong, distal border rounded, prominently bilobed, dorso-median carina prominent. Uropods with flattened subsimilar rami. Antenna very unequal. Mandible with three-segmented palp. Maxillula with one claw stout, maxilla with four well-curved hooks. Maxilliped foliaceous and prominently setose. Pereopods with merus and propodus in the first two pairs, and merus in all the others, internally expanded. All the appendages with fine setules or spines.
Remarks. The genus Pseudirona belongs with the group of genera that formed Lironecinae Schiöedte & Meinert’s (1884). This group includes (amongst others) the genera Mothocya Costa in Hope, 1851, Cterissa Schiöedte & Meinert, 1884, Agarna Schiöedte & Meinert, 1884, and Livoneca Leach, 1818. Agarna and Cterissa are easily separated by their unusual coxal morphology and distorted body shapes (see Schiöedte & Meinert 1884; Trilles 1981; Trilles & Paperna 1980). Pseudirona is abundantly distinct from Mothocya, and in all respects except setosity and spination of the appendages agrees closely with Livoneca.
This genus has the closest resemblance to Mothocya. The general shape of the peraeon, pleon and telson is very much like that of Mothocya, but in Mothocya the peraeon is usually more asymmetrical, with the coxal plates very much so. In Mothocya the posterior coxal plates are larger than the anterior ones while they are all subsimilar in Pseudirona. In Mothocya the uropods generally overreach the telson and the rami are apically narrowed, but it is not so in Pseudirona. The extremely spiny and setose appendages are quite unlike those of any other cymothoid.

description: Background/Objectives: the aim of the current cross-sectional study is to explore and compare the emotional and behavioural conditions of children and adolescents with short stature (i.e., familial short stature and constitutional delay of growth), idiopathicgrowth hormone deficiency (GHD), and normal height. Methods: Twenty-nine participants (15 males, 14 females; mean age ± standard deviation (SD) = 11.2 ± 1.96 years) with short stature (height standard deviation score (SDS): −2.10 ± 0.57), 10 age-matched participants (4 males, 6 females; mean age ± SD = 10.9 ± 2.35 years) with growth hormone deficiency (GHD; height SDS: −2.44 ± 0.29), and 36 age-matched participants (19 males, 17 females; mean age ± SD = 11.3 ± 1.93 years) with normal stature (height SDS: 0.56 ± 0.78) were admitted to this study. Psychological distress was evaluated using the Depression Anxiety andStress Scale (DASS-21), and emotional and behavioural problems using the Child Behaviour Checklist for Children (CBCL) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results: Participants with GHD exhibited higher levels of the “withdrawn/depressedsubscale” score of CBCL (H = 7.794, df = 2, p = 0.020), compared to their peers with normal height, while no significant differences were observed between participants with short stature and those with normal stature. Normal-statured participants reported higher levels of the “conduct problems” subscale score (H = 10.421, df = 2, p = 0.005) and the “rulebreaking behaviour” subscale score of CBCL (H = 10.358, df = 2, p = 0.006) compared to both short-statured groups. No significant differences among the three subgroups were found in the DASS-21 and SDQ scores questionnaires, suggesting the lack of short stature-dependent effects on psychological distress and emotional and behavioural adjustment. Conclusions: Although participants with GHD exhibited higher levels of the “withdrawn/depressed subscale” score of CBCL (H = 7.794, df = 2, p = 0.020) compared to their peers with normalheight, participants with short stature did not experience the same problems. Although short-statured participants had lower levels of “conduct problems” and “rule-breaking behaviours” scores than their normal-statured peers, the psychological distress and emotional and behavioural adjustment were not affected by short stature, being comparable to those recorded in normal-statured participants.

The navigation of motherhood for African American, West Indian, and Hispanic women in reentry
Creators: name: Garcia-Hallett, Janet
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Though women are less likely than men to be incarcerated and are disproportionately outnumbered in United States jails and prisons (Guerino et al., 2011; Minton, 2013), women in state facilities are more likely to report being parents (Glaze & Maruschak, 2008; Mumola, 2000) and most plan to rekindle maternal relationships with their children upon their release (Barnes & Stringer, 2014; Hairston, 1991). Research demonstrates that women face substantial burdens during their reentry into the community, but reentry burdens may be more challenging to women of color who stand at the intersection of sexism and racism (Brown, 2010; Roberts, 1993). Ethnic differences among Black women are overlooked, however, as existing knowledge of women’s experiences is often constructed along a Black/White dichotomy. Furthermore, self-conceptions as mothers, social expectations of mothers, and attempts to mother may place additional burdens on formerly incarcerated women with children. Yet, motherhood is still understood as a motivating factor in women’s lives post-incarceration (Brown & Bloom, 2009; Hayes, 2009).    This study investigates how formerly incarcerated women navigate motherhood and how this process influences mothers’ reintegration after their release from imprisonment. The research draws on 37 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with formerly incarcerated mothers. These women’s narratives focus on the role that maternal desires, decisions and behaviors play across various aspects of life post-incarceration: parenting, employment and finances, living arrangements, custody of children, as well as recovery from histories of addiction. This study utilized a comparative sampling strategy to unpack the experiences of groups viewed collectively as “minorities” and to examine similarities and differences among African American, West Indian and Hispanic formerly incarcerated mothers. There is also a comparative feature across varying degrees of contact with children (both minor and adult children) – specifically, mothers living with their children, mothers not living with their children but remaining in contact, and mothers without contact.     This study not only examines post-incarceration reintegration for formerly incarcerated mothers but it captures the intersectionality of criminal status, gender, and race/ethnicity. Furthermore, its comparative features go beyond common racial-ethnic labels and classifications of mother-child relationships in understanding the role of navigating motherhood in women’s reintegration after incarceration.

Different modes of activation of the four regulatory pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases by the E2 and E3 binding protein components of the human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
Creators: name: Guevara, Elena Luisa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The focus of this study is on the human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) consisting of six proteins including thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1p, 22-heterotetramer), the dihydrolipoamide transacetylase (E2p, with two lipoyl domains), dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3), a unique E3-binding protein (E3BP) and two regulatory enzymes, the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4) and phosphatases (PDP1-2).  The flux of pyruvate through PDC is regulated via reversible phosphorylation (inactivation) at E1 by PDK1-4 and reactivation by PDP1-2.  Up-regulation of gene expression of PDK isoforms is involved in several forms of cancer, and PDKs may be further activated by PDC by binding to the E2•E3BP core.  Therefore, the PDK: E2•E3BP interaction provides new therapeutic targets.  In this thesis functional kinetic studies were carried out to demonstrate significant differences in the activation of PDK isoforms by binding to E2•E3BP core: (i) PDK2 does not need activation by E2•E3BP for its efficient functioning, while PDK4 was the least effective of the four isoforms, and could not be further activated by E2•E3BP.  Hence, development of inhibitors to the interaction of PDK2 and PDK4 with PDC core is not promising.  (ii) The approach to design inhibitors, which interfere with interaction with PDC is indeed promising for PDK1 and PDK3.  PDK3 needs E2•E3BP core for activation, an activation best achieved by synergistic combination of E2-derived catalytic domain and tridomain.    Recently the Jordan group successfully identified the interaction loci between PDK1 or PDK2 with the E2•E3BP core.  The studies described here interrogate the sites on E2•E3BP identified to interact with PDK1 or PDK2 (Glu35, Val198, Glu153, Glu209), in addition to the lipoyl-lysine sites found on L1 (Lys 46) and L2 (Lys 173).  Site-directed mutagenesis was employed on the above amino acids, or ‘hot spots’, and E1 phosphorylation by PDK1, PDK2 or PDK3 in the presence of the constructed L1L2S mutants were tested to identify the resulting effects on overall PDC activity.  These measurements will confirm whether the ‘hot spots’ interrogated indeed are important for the interaction of E2•E3BP with the PDKs, and will identify ‘real’ hot spots, against which rational drug design could be undertaken.   Additionally, the E1o component of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (2-OGDHc), which belongs to the super-family of the 2 oxo acid dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes, was studied in this thesis for its potential application to chiral synthesis.  Specifically, the E. coli and human E1o were used to catalyzed chiral synthesis of α-hydroxy ketones by varying both the 2-oxo acid donor and aldehyde acceptor substrates in a carboligase-type reaction.

Rcnocila ovate. — Barnard, 1936: 161, fig. 5.— Trilles, Ravichandran & Rameshkumar, 2011: 453.
Type and type locality. The holotype ovig. female (13.5 mm) held at the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, Australia (QM WIOS 44) from the Bushy Island (Redbill Cay), Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
Remarks. This species can be recognized by the posterolateral margins of pereonites 6-7 weakly produced, laterally bent. Renocila alkoo resemblance to R. ovata but is easily distinguished by having far shorter pereopod dactylus, longer antenna, pereopod 7 manifestly larger than 6 (both with a weakly carinate basis), and posterodistal angle of pereopod 1 basis truncate.
Barnard (1936) recorded Renocila ovata Miers, 1880 from Andaman Islands India, and gave figures of the maxilliped, mandible palp and pereopods 1 and 7 are similar to the illustrations of R. alkoo (Bruce 1987c). The figure of pereopod 1 differs from material examined by Bruce (1987c) having the posterodistal angle of the basis for more strongly produced, the posterior margin of the ischium carinate, and a shorter dactylus without nodules. Pereopod 7 differs by having a prominent carina on both the basis and ischium. Barnard’s material is not R. ovata, but is probably R. alkoo.
Distribution. Reported from Andaman Islands India (Barnard 1936) and Great Barrier Reef from the Capricorn Group in the south to Swains Reefs and Bushy Island reef off Mackay (Bruce 1987c).
Hosts. Unknown.

description: The manner in which we teach United States war literature acts to reproduce the material and ideological conditions under which perpetual war is allowed to continue unfettered. The interpretive framework set up by schools, “the pedagogical frame,” reinforces the relations between literature, State Ideology, and history. In doing so, the pedagogical frame reproduces the social relations and ideologies that encourage war. Nationwide curricula are examined for the influence of the pedagogical frame. Literary works discussed include: Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, In the Lake of the Woods and The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.
Open government performance
Creators: name: Ingrams, Alex
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation addresses the topic of open government design and performance. Open government reforms are increasingly numerous worldwide. This study seeks to develop analytical concepts and models to understand internal organizational changes that take place in public agencies when they implement open government reforms, and how these designs can be evaluated.     The central research question posed by the dissertation is: ‘What is the association between organizational design and open government performance?’ In addressing this question, the focus is on three components of organization design in open government programs: organizational structure, organizational processes, and the macro-factors that shape organizational design. There are two sub-questions within the central research question: (1.1) ‘How does organizational structure contribute to open government performance?’; (1.2) ‘How does organizational process contribute to open government performance?’ Additionally, a secondary question addresses the macro-level factors of organizational design and performance: (2) Do macro-level factors shape organizational design capacity in open government?     To address these questions a mixed methods approach is taken, involving content analysis, two case studies, and regression analysis. The case studies involve document analysis, participant observation, and 35 semi-structured interviews with senior decision-makers working on two open government programs in the United Kingdom and United States as part of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a multi-country compact to promote openness in government. These case studies are of a healthcare services and a law enforcement open government program, respectively.    The core result of the dissertation is the establishment of an analytical framework of open government processes. The framework includes key performance indicators that can be used to evaluate open government structures and processes. This framework is comprised of four structural factors: institutional, environmental, technological, and managerial, and three themes of the organizational processes: consultation, governance, and strategy. The dissertation concludes with discussion of how the results contribute to public administration theory on open government. The study extends scholarly understanding of how organizational design factors are crucial to open government performance. Public managers, who work at the intersection of organization and environment, must navigate complex inter-organizational information and tasks. By developing an analytic framework of such work, this dissertation offers knowledge of organizational design that can be used in an area of reform currently being adopted by many different types of country governments and at different governmental levels.
