description: Background: Acute treatment with the D2-like dopamine receptor agonist, ropinirole, disrupts sensorimotor gating measured using prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response (PPI). We showed previously that repeated ropinirole produced long-lasting recovery of PPI, mediated by CREB phosphorylation in nucleus accumbens (NAc) neurons (Berger et al, Biol. Psychiatry, 2011). The present study explored whether, and in which neurons, the long-lasting transcription factor ΔFosB was expressed after repeated ropinirole treatment.

Conclusions: NAc neurons expressing D1R and D3R could contain heterodimeric receptors whose repeated activation by ropinirole drives D1R-coupled signaling. This could underlie increased phosphoCREB and ΔFosB expression in these NAc neurons, which may be required for PPI recovery.

description: Background: Emotion dysregulation (ED) lays a crucial role in the development of psychopathology in children. Our previous research suggests that maternal childhood trauma is associated with both self-reported ED and her child’s physiological anxiety during a dark-enhanced startle (DES) paradigm. The current study aimed to investigate the association between maternal emotion regulation and physiological anxiety in her child and also examines the mediating role of parental distress. Child sex was also explored as a potential moderator.

Conclusions: These results suggest that maternal emotion dysregulation plays an important role in the intergenerational transmission of risk for anxiety in her child and that parental distress may explain this relationship.

title: Unveiling the dynamics of ICO underpricing: an analysis of regulatory changes and female leadership
Creators: name: Yang, An
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2025

description: Providing funding for innovative enterprises is a primary focus in entrepreneurial finance. Initial Coin Offering (ICO) constitutes a novel mechanism for raising funds for highly innovative enterprises utilizing Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). The most common type of DLT is blockchain technology. In an ICO, companies raise funds by issuing tokens and selling them to a group of investors. Typically, these tokens are cryptocurrencies designed to serve as currency within the company's ecosystem. While ICOs share similarities with Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and crowdfunding, there are distinctions. In contrast to IPOs, investors purchasing stocks gain equity, whereas investors acquiring tokens in ICOs do not obtain equity. Another distinguishing feature from crowdfunding is the use of DLT, which is essential for token issuance and constitutes the core of these enterprises. DLT, especially blockchain technology, represents a revolutionary and disruptive technological innovation. Therefore, providing funds for these enterprises is crucial in the field of entrepreneurial finance.

ICO, being a new financing method, faces incomplete regulatory frameworks across various countries and regions. This preliminary study aims to investigate the impact of ICO regulations on token depreciation and whether the presence of female leaders in companies amplifies or mitigates this impact.

Our multiple regression analysis, conducted on a sample of 377 ICOs from 2016 to 2020, indicates that ICO depreciation is reduced in the presence of ICO regulations. Additionally, when companies have female leaders, ICO depreciation becomes more severe. However, the interaction between regulation and female leadership mitigates ICO depreciation, meaning that female leaders exacerbate the impact of regulations on ICOs.

By integrating regulation, female leadership, and ICO depreciation, this study fills a gap in the research field. Furthermore, we provide relevant recommendations in the conclusion, offering guidance for establishing regulatory systems and ensuring fair pricing.
5. Food and Cooking in Revolutionary and Soviet Russia

description: In tsarist Russia, with both indigenous and foreign cuisine being very popular, since the middle of the 19th century the figure of the revolutionary took ascetic features. The 1917 revolution saw a prevalence of the scientific aspects of nutrition and its collective organization over any ‘culinary’ consideration. Nevertheless, during the 1920s, some cookbooks adapted pre-revolutionary culinary traditions to post- revolutionary conditions. But again and again the country would meet dramatic situations as far as food production and distribution were concerned. At the end of the Twenties, the system of communal dining faced a serious crisis, when local governement was forced to help starving people rather than organize collective canteens. Alongside with industrialization of food production (in which A. Mikojan had a crucial role), nutrition was again considered as a pleasure in the 1930s, when Stalinism started to present the Soviet society as accomplished. Often disregarded in Russian revolutionary movements, food became an important element in the propaganda of the Soviet way of life.

Correlates of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among Black women
Creators: name: Corasmin, Elise
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Background: Black women have disproportionate rates of HIV infection and low rates of PrEP uptake. Using the situated-Information Motivation Behavioral Skills Model of Care Initiation and Maintenance (sIMB-CIM) model, this study examined factors predicting PrEP willingness among Black women (i.e., knowledge, attitudes towards PrEP and perceived HIV risk). Hypotheses: The hypotheses tested included: 1) There is a positive correlation between PrEP knowledge, attitude towards PrEP, perception of HIV risk, demographic factors, and willingness to use PrEP among Black women; 2) High perception of HIV risk is significantly associated with willingness to use PrEP; 3) PrEP knowledge, PrEP attitudes, HIV risk perception, and demographic factors are independent predictors of willingness to use PrEP. Methods: Using a cross-sectional Qualtrics survey, the study collected data from 193 PrEP-eligible Black women seen in an urban primary care practice. The IMB Model for PrEP Use Scale was used to measure PrEP knowledge, PrEP attitudes, and PrEP intentions. The Perception Risk Scale was used to measure perception of HIV risk. The demographic questionnaire was used to collect the participant characteristics. Results: Willingness to use PrEP was high (93%) despite limited PrEP knowledge and low perceptions of HIV risk. In multivariate models, marital status was the only significant predictor of willingness to use PrEP, with widowed women most willing (M = 10.53, range: 3-12) and separated women least willing (M = 7.89). Conclusion: This study addressed the knowledge gap regarding PrEP use among Black women. Findings suggest high interest in PrEP; however, the study was limited to women living in an area with high HIV prevalence. Future research should test the sIMB-CIM model in other settings and populations of Black women. Qualitative research should examine the reasons for the study’s findings to develop more effective outreach campaigns targeting women (i.e., to improve understanding of HIV risk factors and PrEP) and clinicians (i.e., to increase PrEP prescriptions). Longitudinal designs are also necessary to evaluate whether willingness leads to actual PrEP uptake.

description: This article explored the role of food in the rise of political modernity in the Atlantic world, toward the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th. The three food programs analyzed here—the production of a “patriotic” bread, the program of “public and common” meals, and the regime of “hard digestion” founded upon ideal indigenous food habits—shaped one of the first republican discourses in Mexico. ese discussions about republic, citizenship and food standards, although they reflected varied, eclectic and often contradictory positions, shared one point in common: they resignified some of the basic notions of the colonial political language, including community, territory, patria and “common good”.

Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: Feeding affects several physiological processes that control reproductive efficiency, which is why nutrition is important for ruminant reproductive health and fertility. Embryo survival can be hampered by negative energy balance (NEB), which is prevalent in high-yielding dairy cows. Additionally, obesity and insulin resistance can result from consuming too much energy, further impairing fertility. Hormone production and the development of embryos can be hampered by both an excess or a shortage of protein. Deficits in minerals and vitamins affect oocyte development, anestrus, low conception rates, and greater vulnerability to reproductive illnesses. Minerals and vitamins are essential for reproductive processes. Fertility optimization and ruminant cattle productivity depend on an understanding of and adherence to these nutritional parameters.
4. Food and the Futurist ‘Revolution’. A Note

Year: 2016

description: The Italian futurist movement dealt with all branches traditionally tied to high culture, but, at the same time, it approached ‘humbler’ fields as fashion, sports and cookery. In his french period, Marinetti met the chef Jules Maincave and they opened together a ‘Futurist’ restaurant. In 1913 Maincave published the manifesto La cuisine futuriste. In 1930, Marinetti issued in Turin the Manifesto of Futurist Cooking. The publication was preceded by a celebration dinner which took place at the Penna d’Oca restaurant in Milan. In Marinetti’s opinion, people think, dream and act according to what they eat and drink.The Futurist crusade against pasta reflects this point of view. If, on the one hand, Futurism embraced a new way of cooking, on the other hand Fascism promoted the reintroduction of traditional Italian cooking. Purpose of this essay is to delineate the contradiction between Futurism and the Fascist movement and regime, in Italy and in Europe, focusing on the aspects related to cooking.

Neurophysiological mechanisms of attentional capture and suppression by emotionally salient pictures: investigations with EEG and MEG

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The timing and brain function of attentional capture of emotional distractive stimuli is still unclear. The purpose of current thesis is to examine the effects of physical stimulus properties, emotional salience and voluntary control on attentional capture and brain function. Three sets of experiments were carried out to: (1) examine the effect of emotional salience and spatial frequency on attention capture and event-related potentials (ERPs) in a visual search task; (2) replicate the behavioural and ERP results of an emotion-induced blindness paradigm (Hoffman et al, 2020) that addresses some prominent drawbacks of previous emotional capture paradigms; (3) identify the neuroanatomical sources of MEG responses measured concurrently with the ERP data of Experiment 2. The results of Experiment 1 showed that both high and low anxious people pay more attention to threatening faces compared to neutral pictures. In contrast, only individuals with high anxiety showed a pronounced P1 component (an early visual ERP component) to low-spatial-frequency information. Experiment 2 confirmed that negative pictures capture attention when they are task related, but that attentional capture of emotional pictures was affected by the attention allocated to the pictures. The ERP results point to two important stages of processing: an earlier stage, indexed by an early posterior negativity (EPN) component, in which attention is automatically captured by emotional stimuli; and a subsequent stage, indexed by a P3b component, in which attentional processing can be voluntarily suppressed. The MEG source analyses of Experiment 3 identified neuroanatomical generators active during these two stages. The EPN time window was dominated by a robust activation of the anterior cingulate cortex during processing of negative pictures, but not neutral pictures. The subsequent P3b epoch was associated with two functionally, temporally and anatomically distinct clusters of activation, first of the insula and, then of anterior cingulate cortex. The anatomical locations, properties and timing of these brain responses are best explained by a “salience network” consisting of the anterior insula and anterior cingulate cortex (Menon and Uddin, 2010; Uddin, 2015), which operate to detect and process emotionally salient stimuli and maintain a task set.

description: The file includes supplemental materials to the research titled "THE AMBIGUITY OF BIOPHILIA: IT PROMOTES PERSONAL AUTHENTICITY BUT ENHANCES DISTRESS". The role of biophilic attitudes in maintaining psychological well-being (contributing to personal authenticity and preventing distress) was investigated. Environmental identity served as a moderator of the connections. In total, 383 Russian-speaking respondents (77.3% female) aged 18 to 55 participated in the study. A new modification of the Biophilic Attitudes Inventory – Russia was developed, including 20 statements and five subscales: Naturalism, Dominionism, Ecologism, Curiosity, and Security. Contrary to expectations, it was found that biophilia is not a universal factor of psychological well-being: whereas it contributed positively to personal authenticity it also contributed positively to distress. Environmental identity did not moderate these connections. The results are interpreted based on the specifics of the sample (urban residents with limited experience of the interaction with nature). The limitations of the research, the prospects of its further development, and practical applications are presented.

Adolescent alcohol exposure alters microRNA and histone demethylation pathways in the amygdala at adulthood
Creators: name: Kyzar, Evan
Publisher: name: F1000Research

description: Binge alcohol exposure in adolescence is an important risk factor for the development of alcoholism and comorbid psychiatric disorders in adulthood. Epigenetic processes are implicated in the persistence of adolescent alcohol exposure-related phenotypes in brain regions that mediate negative affective states including the amygdala. Adolescent rats were exposed to 2g/kg ethanol (2 days on/off) or intermittent n-saline (AIS) during post-natal days (PND) 28-41 prior to behavioral and biochemical analysis in adulthood. A subset of rats were exposed to an acute ethanol challenge (2 g/kg) in adulthood. AIE exposure caused a long-lasting increase in anxiety-like behavior and microRNA-137 (miR-137). We found a decrease in miR-137-targeted mRNAs Lsd1, Lsd1+8a (a neuron-specific splice variant), and Kdm4c in specific amygdaloid structures compared to AIS exposed rats when measured at adulthood. As these enzymes effect epigenetic markers, AIE increased repressive H3K9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) in the central (CeA) and medial nucleus of amygdala (MeA) in adulthood without producing any change in permissive H3K4me2 protein levels. Exposure to an acute ethanol challenge (2g/kg) in adulthood attenuated the increased anxiety-like behaviors and decrease in Lsd1+8a mRNA seen in AIE rats. AIE caused an increase in H3K9me2 occupancy at the Bdnf exon IV promoter that also returned to baseline after acute ethanol challenge in adulthood. These results indicate that AIE modulates microRNA pathways and enzymes involved in H3K9 dimethylation in the amygdala, and that some of these effects persist into adulthood and possibly are responsible for AIE-induced chromatin remodeling and adult psychopathology.

description: Background: The cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) is a CSF-filled structure located centrally in the fetal brain and is uncommon postnatally. Presence of CSPs after gestation is associated with psychiatric disorders. CSPs often co-occur with abnormalities along the midline of the brain. Expansion of surrounding structures may cause CSP closure.

Because children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) have increased incidence of CSPs (Beaton et al 2010) we tested in this population relationships between CSP size and sub-regions of cortical tissue. Anti-correlations could support the hypothesis that CSP closure is influenced by surrounding structures’ expansion.

Conclusions: Anti-correlations between multiple regions of the cortex and CSP volume support the hypothesis than CSPs close when surrounding tissue expands. However, 3 positive correlations and the fact that many regions of anti-correlation are not proximal to CSP location may indicate an alternate hypothesis that CSP size and regional volumes co-occur but are not causative.

description: Among the main characteristics of most human infections is their great phenotypic variability, partly due to the diversity of mechanisms that the immune response sets in motion against the great diversity of pathogens. Recently, the discovery of new genetic variants involved in the immune response to various pathogens makes it possible to highlight the shared role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, which provide important insights into the genetic regulation of said response in humans. Especially in dengue disease, numerous data show that immunopathological mechanisms are the main determinants of variation in disease outcomes. In fact, recent research suggests that disease progression is more likely due to host factors than viral factors.

sex determination

description: Sex determination in fish depends on the genotype and environmental factors, among them is the temperature that determines sex during embryogenesis, days or weeks after fertilization. Sex is determined only until after the eggs hatch, during the larval and postlarval stages. The increase in temperature in these early stages increases the number of males, due to the inhibition of the expression of aromatase isoforms (Cyp19a and Cyp19b genes). In this study, the effect of temperature in eggs and larvae on the sex determination of red Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) Was analyzed, through expression analysis of the aforementioned genes. The decrease in the expression of Cyp19a was observed in eggs at 33ºC, and in larvae at 33ºC and 35ºC. The expression of the Cyp19b gene did not decrease in any of the treatments. The variability in the expression patterns of aromatases poses a challenge to use the temperature in tilapia cultures as an inducer of male production. The analysis of intrinsic and extrinsic gene expression regulation phenomena is required to approximate a more stable monosex production model.

Viene seguito il comportamento della larva matura del Latibulus argiolus, che è riconosciuto quale parassita ectofago di larve e pupe di Polistes spp. Dettagliate osservazioni riguardano i bozzoli, risultati di due tipi : uno «estivo», fabbricato da fine maggio ai primi di luglio e uno <>, fabbricato da fine luglio ai primi di settembre. I bozzoli del tipo << estivo >> permangono nelle celle pedotrofiche dei Polistes, quelli del tipo <> fuoriescono con <> impressi dai movimenti delle larve, mediante i quali raggiungono ripari idonei all'ibernamento.
I bozzoli << svernanti >> hanno maggiore consistenza e proteggono efficacemente i Latibulus da taluni fattori ab1otici avversi. L'impermeabilità dello abitacolo consente alle larve e alle pupe di completare lo sviluppo anche se il bozzolo si trova in acqua per alcune settimane o perfino se irrorato con soluzione petroleosa di DDT.
Le larve di Polistes viventi in nidi esposti vengono parassitizzate raramente, mentre quelle nei nidi ben protetti e nascosti (ad esempio quelli sotto le tegole dei tetti) sono preferite dai Latibulus.

The A. examins the systematic of Latibulus argiolus (Rossi) 1790 considering Pseudosyzeuctes italicus Hedwig 1961 synonimous with this. The morphology of the mature larva, of the pupa and of the adults is described with particular consideration concerning those caracters of systematic value. The behaving of the mature larva of Latibulus argiolus, that is ascerted as ectophagous parasite of larvae and pupae of Polistes spp. is followed. Detailed observations are made on cocoons, resulting of two types, a << summer » one, built from the end of may to the beginning· on july, and a << winter ,, one built from the end of july to the beginning of september. The cocoons of the summer type remain in the pedotrophic cells of Polistes those of winter type come-out with << jumps >> impress by the movimcnts of the larva with wich they reach consistence and efficiently protect Latibulus from some adverse abiotic agents. The centrai cavity of cocoon impermeability permits to the larva and pupa to end the development even if the cocoon is in water for some weeks or even if bedewed with petroleus solution of DDT.
The Polistes larva that live in exposed nests are rarely attached by the parasite, while those in the well sheltered and hidden nests (such as those under the tiles of the roofs) are preferred by Latibulus.

STUDI SUI DITTERI CECIDOMIIDI III
Creators: name: Solinas, Mario
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2015

description: In questa terza memoria sui Ditteri Cecidomiidi l'Autoro descrive un genere ed una specie nuovi per la scienza: Diplosiola bursaria.

E' studiata ed illustrata con disegni la morfologia fond::tmentale dei diversi stadi di sviluppo (uovo, larva neonata, larva matura, pupa, adulto: femmina e maschio) della specie e la biografia della medesima, la quale si evolve negli stadi preimmaginali nelle foglioline conduplicate di Erba medica (Medicago saliva L.), in modo simile· alla Jaapiella medicaginis Riibs..

La nuova specie galligena ha un comportamento biologico polivoltino (fino a 7 generazioni da maggio a novembre nel Piacentino) e compie una generazione in 20-23 giorni (incubazione: 5 giorni circa; sviluppo !arvale: 10-12 giorni; meta- morfosi: 4-6 giorni). Lo svernamento ha luogo nel terreno da larva matura. Vengono considerate le cause naturali che influenzano lo sviluppo del Cecido- rniide, con particolare riferimento all'azione degli entomoparassiti (Systasis encyrtoides Walk, lnostemma sp., Lestodiplosis sp.,). Si fa un cenno sui danni, la cui import,nza economìca è attualmente trascurabile.

In this therd paper about Gall Midges (Cecidomyiidae) the author describes a new genus and a new species : Diplosiola bursaria.

The new genus Diplosiola, according to taxonomy of Riibsaamen-Hedicke (1925 -1939), belongs to the subfamilia Cecidomyiinae, supertribus Cecidomyiidi, tribus Cecidomyiini, subtribus Cecidomyiina. Typicai morphoiogical characters of Diplosiola n.g. are :

IMAGO: palpi with 3 segments. Antennae with 2 basai segments and 12 flagellar segments; lst and 2nd flagellar segments imperfectly fused (never distinct). Ali flagellar segments (except the terminai one) of the female cylin- droid and with a neck hairless; in the male they are binodose (inferior node spheroidal, superior node pear-shapped), with both neck and internode hairless, with 2 whorls of setae and with 3 circumfila with loops irregular and reiatively short. Wings with radiai sector (Rs) reaching the costa (Co) beyond the apex of the wing. Claws simple on ali the Iegs, variously curved, about twince longer than the empodium. Basai clasp segments with a proximal median prominence obtuse, under which (ventrally) there is a small triangular lobe that cover partially the proximal tract of the aedeagus (Ae); distai clasp segments thickened in the proximal tract and tapering toward the apex, these are length- wise striped and agout ali (entirely) pubescent. Both dorsal and ventral lamellae of the male are deeply indented. Aedeagus big and relatively long.

SMICRONYX MENOZZII SOLARI COLEOTTERO CURCULIONIDE CECIDOGENO SU CUSCUTA
Creators: name: Frilli, Franco
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2015

description: L'A. ha studiato la morfologia dello Smicronyx menozzii Solari (Col. Curcu- lionidae Calandrinae) effettuando anche alcune osservazioni biologiche. L'A. descrive le antenne dell'adulto, l'addome della femmina, l'organo copulatore del maschio, l'uovo, la larva matura e la pupa. Riguardo la chetotassi della larva, l'A. rileva che questa presenta caratteri che pongono in discussione la classificazione !arvale delle sottofamiglie dei Curculionidi.

Lo S. menozzii, vivente a spese di Cuscuta australis, produce sui fusti del vegetale fori di nutrizione e fori di ovideposizione. In corrispondenza di questi ultimi si formano galle di 2-15 mm, di forma globosa o allungata o piriforme, contenenti ciascuna una larva. Completato lo sviluppo, le larve escono dalla galla, si affondano nel terreno, si costruiscono una piccola celletta e si impupano. L'attacco del Curculionide non sembra compromettere la vitalità della pianta, nè diminuirne l'azione nociva.

Le larve sono parassitizzate da un Calcidoideo Pteromalide e dal Braconide Bracon praestans Tobias, che viene citato per la prima volta in Italia. L'A. ha osservato le varie modalità di nutrizione e di ovideposizione del B. praestans, descrivendole nei particolari.

The A. studied the morphology of Smicronyx menozzii Solari (Col. Curcu- lionidae Calandrinae), a gall-forming beetle on Cuscuta australis, and carried out also biologica! observations. In this work he describes the female's abdomen, the male's antennae and his organ of copulation, the egg, the mature larva and the pupa.

The A. points out that the larva! chaetotaxy presents some caracteristics that make questionable some larva! classifications of subfamilies of Curculio- nidae. Smicronyx menozzii feeds by making holes on Cuscuta branches, while it spreads on the same branches peculiar holes for its oviposition.

The galls induced on the plant are described. Each gall contains only one larva. The mature larva comes out from the gal!, sinks in the ground and builds a small cell, where it pupates.

The attack of this Curculionidae seems neither to injiury the vitality of Cuscuta plants nor to reduce its harmful action. The larvae are attacked by a Chalcidoid Pteromalidae and by the Braconid Bracon praestans Tobias, which is mentioned bere for the first time in Italy. The A. observed the feeding and oviposition of Bracon praestans and described them with full particulars.

L'ANISANDRUS (XYLEBORUS) DISPAR L. (COLEOPTERA, SCOLYTIDAE) SUL PESCO NEL PIACENTINO
Creators: name: Solinas, Mario
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2015

description: L'Anisandrus dispar L. ha attaccato i giovani peschi nella zona di Castellar- quato (Piacenza) negli anni 1956, 1960 e 1961. L'Autore riferisce sulle osserva- zioni effettuate in quelle occasioni, con particolare riguardo alla sintomatologia dell'infestazione nella coltura e nelle singole piante colpite, e fissando inoltre qualche dato biologico importante ai fini della lotta contro lo Scolitide. All'inizio della primavera (già nella seconda metà di marzo) le femmine fecondate sciamano dalle gallerie vecchie e attaccano i nuovi rami. Lo sviluppo delle singole famiglie è molto scalare : in tutto il mese di maggio è possibile trovare in uno stesso sistema di gallerie la femmina madre, le larve variamente svilup- pate, le pupe e gli adulti neosfarfallati.

Per quanto riguarda la lotta contro il temibile fitofago, si consiglia la sorveglianza delle piante giovani in vivaio e a dimora, onde p.oter scoprire le intestazioni al loro primo insorgere; quindi si consiglia di intervenire con la distruzione durante l'inverno dei rami o delle intere piante fortemente colpite, e in primavera (a partire dalla seconda metà di marzo) con 2 o 3 trattamenti (intervallati di 20 giorni circa) a base di DDT o HCH in emulsione ai tronchi e ai rami delle piante da proteggere.

Anisandrus dispar L. has injured young peach-trees near Castellarquato (Piacenza: Northern Italy) during 1956 and then in 1960 and 1961. The author refers about his own observations made during that time, with particular regard to symptomatology of infestation in the orchard and in the single attacked trees. Some biological data have been also ascertained in order to contro! the pest.

The fecundates females swarm early in spring and attack new stems and branches. Development of families is very graduai : during May it is possible to find in the some brood : mother, varionsly developed larvae, pupae and new emerged imagoes. As for control mesaures, the author suggests to watch the young peach-trees in nursery and in ochard, in order to find eventual infestations as early as possible; then to destroy the infested stems and branches, during winter, and to defend healthy trees in spring (beginning from second half of March) with 2 or 3 sprays (at about 20 days intervals) with DDT or H.C.H. emulsions.

ACROBASIS SODALELLA ZELL. (LEP. PYRALIDAE) DANNOSA ALLA QUERCIA
Creators: name: Frilli, Franco
Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2015

description: L'A. ha studiato la morfologia dell'Acrobasis sodalella Zeller (Lep. Pyralidae) ed ha effettuato alcune osservazioni biologiche; L'A. descrive gli ultimi uriti della femmina, l'organo copulatore del maschio e la larva matura, soffermandosi sulla.sua chetotassi.

La specie è stata osseervata su Quercus pubescens (Roverella); le larve neonate corrono la pagina inferiore delle foglie; quelle di II e III età svernano entro ripari formati da foglie e fili di seta molto abbondanti; le larve dell'ultima età vivono in nidi formati da più foglie erose tenute assieme da fili sericei e· fuoriescono da essi pernutrirsi.

La specie ha nel Piacentino una generazione all'anno. Gli adulti compaiono di solito dalla fine di maggio alla fine di giugno e le uova sono deposte in giugno-luglio sugli apici vegetativi; le larve nascono in luglio e svernano nella II e nella · III età; in primavera le larve producono i maggiori danni sulle foglie di cui lasciano spesso intatte soltanto le nervature principali; l'incrisalidamento avviene in maggio nel terreno alla base delle piante o nei ricoveri larvali.

The author describes the morphology of Acrobasis sodalelle Zeller (Lep. Pyralidae) and  gives an account of investigation on bionomics. The last abdominal segments of the female, the organ of copulation of the male and the mature larva with special regard on its chaetotaxy are desctibed in detail.

The species has been observed dangerous to Quercus pubescens; the newborn larvae erode the back of leaves; the second-instar and third-instar larvae overwinters under cover formed with a. good quantity of silky threads and leaves; the last-instar larvae live in nests made up of more eroded leaves bound together by silky threads and crawl out from these to feed on the foliage.

The species in the province of Piacenza (North ltaly) has one generation each year. The adults emerge usually between the end of May and the end of June; the eggs are laid in June-July an the buds and the larvae hatches in July and overwinfers·in the second- and third-instar; the greater part of damage is caused in spring to leaves on which they leave only the principal nervations; pupation took piace in May in the soil arourùf thé base of the plants or in the larval covers.
