Patara

description: Genus Patara Westwood, 1840
Type species: Patara guttata Westwood, 1840
Amended Diagnosis. Small (less than 5 mm) fragile forms. Head rounded in lateral view, frons weakly projected before eyes; in frontal view frons greatly compressed, usually with lateral margins of frons in close contact. Vertex triangular, strongly narrowed anteriorly (broader in females than males). Sensory pits on head absent (may be vestigial on the frons). Antennae sexually dimorphic with scape small, pedicle greatly elongated and usually compressed (length exceeding margin of head); male antennae longer than female. Forewings with clavus closed (i.e., Pcu + A1 reaching wing margin before reaching CuP), and CuA not forked before m-cu crossvein and cell C5 (when present) in form of an open marginal cell (no closed ‘procubital cell’). Pcu in clavus bearing tubercles. Pygofer opening lacking medioventral process. Gonostyli elongate and broadly spatulate with large, bifid process on dorsal margin. Aedeagus asymmetrical, shaft more or less straight, capped with short bulbous flagellum, usually with a large process arising near base of flagellum and a variable number of additional processes. Anal segment short, not exceeding gonostyli.

(Figure 9 (a–c))
Cardiocondyla nuda var. mauritanica Forel, 1890: lxxv (w.) Tunisia. Palaearctic.
Diagnosis
Worker. Clypeus with few longitudinal rugae; mesosoma usually with well-developed microreticulum; metanotal groove shallow; propodeal spines short and blunt; postpetiole narrow, roughly hexagonal in dorsal view, with a flat sternite, and distinctly lower than petiole in profile. Colour variable, dorsal head dark brown, mesosoma, petiole and postpetiole orange brown, gaster bark brown to blackish brown.
Material examined
Yemen, Socotra Island, W. Feriho (daitab), 21 April 2014, 93 m, (M. R. Sharaf leg.), 12.44103°N, 54.15576°E (2 w, KSMA); Yemen Island, Socotra, W. Jo’ o, 21 April 2014, 196 m, (M. R. Sharaf leg.), 12.54038°N, 54.17186°E (1 w, KSMA).
Geographic range
A cosmopolitan species (Seifert 2003) and one of the most successfully distributed species of the genus. This species has been recorded from KSA (Collingwood 1985), Yemen (Collingwood and Agosti 1996) and UAE (Collingwood et al. 1997). Although this species was found in uninhabited areas of Socotra Island, it is likely to have been dispersed through the cargo and food being transported by islanders from the capital city of Haydibo into the countryside. Cardiocondyla mauritanica is recorded from Socotra Archipelago for the first time.
Ecological and biological notes
Workers were observed foraging in wet, sandy soil next to a small stream. Some specimens were found in leaf litter under a date palm where the soil was moist and rich in decayed goat and sheep faecal material.

Geographic range
This species was originally described from Hawaii (Forel 1899) and is a cosmopolitan tramp species (Seifert 2003). Our collections represent a new record for Socotra Archipelago.
Ecological and biological notes
The nesting and foraging behaviours of Cardiocondyla minutior are diverse. Workers were found in leaf litter under a date palm tree where the soil was moist and rich in accumulations of domestic livestock waste. Several specimens were observed foraging in leaf litter on a mountainside near a drainage where the soil was moist and supported diverse plant cover but was dominated by Adiantum capillus-veneris L. (Pteridaceae). A number of workers were found foraging in dry leaf litter under a small Fagonia tree (Zygophyllaceae). Several workers were found nesting in the moist basal leaves of a date palm tree trunk where hundreds of Hypoponera punctatissima (Roger, 1859) workers cooccurred.

Material examined: Paratype female, ZIN RAS cat. no. 3/49358, station 44, South Kurile Islands, Iturup Island.
Diagnosis: Body with numerous small tubercles; mid-dorsally pair of somewhat longer, robust spines; pereonite 4 0.18 times body length; posteriorly narrow, twice as long as second and third together. Pleotelson short, with numerous small tubercles and pairs of short spines, posterior margin rounded, large lateral spine near ventral margin. Antennula short, reaching little beyond distal end of second peduncular segment of antenna. Antenna short and robust, about 0.6 of total body length. Spines on basis of pereopods 5 to 7. Oostegites present on pereopod 5, as small lobes.
Remarks: Detailed examination of the mouthparts, the pleopods and the uropods was not possible. Kussakin & Mezhov (1979) provided only illustrations of the lateral view of the habitus, first antenna, maxilliped and pereopods 1, 2 and 7. The same illustrations were provided by Kussakin (1982). From Kussakin & Mezhov (1979) and our observations it is clear that the species fits well into Spectrarcturus. The species can be distinguished from other species of Spectrarcturus on the body shape, the numerous small tubercles on the body and the shape of the pleotelson. The male is not known.
Distribution: Kurile Islands, at depth between 125–146 m (Kussakin & Mezhov 1979).

Evaluation of zinc oxide nanoparticles as a neuroprotective agent on paraquat-induced oxidative stress neuronal model for Parkinson’s disease

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition impacting motor function. The herbicide paraquat has been linked to PD development, with oxidative stress being a key contributor to PD pathogenesis. Conversely, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) exhibit neuroprotective potential through its anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic activities. This study explore ZnO-NPs potential against paraquat-challenged human SH-SY5Y cells. Paraquat alone induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. Contrastingly, ZnO-NPs pre-treatment demonstrates anti-apoptotic effects by reducing caspase-3/7 activity. The proteomics analysis also suggest ZnO-NPs actively contribute to maintaining proteostasis and enhancing mitochondrial function, offering insights into their potential neuroprotective role in this in vitro PD model.

description: It remains a challenge to effectively control the emotion rendering in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. Prior studies have primarily focused on learning a global prosodic representation at the utterance level, which strongly correlates with linguistic prosody. Our goal is to construct a hierarchical emotion distribution (ED) that effectively encapsulates intensity variations of emotions at various levels of granularity, encompassing phonemes, words, and utterances. During TTS training, the hierarchical ED is extracted from the ground-truth audio and guides the predictor to establish a connection between emotional and linguistic prosody. At run-time inference, the TTS model generates emotional speech and, at the same time, provides quantitative control of emotion over the speech constituents. Both objective and subjective evaluations validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in terms of emotion prediction and control.

description: Cryptosporidium sp. are apicomplexan parasites that cause significant morbidity and possible mortality in humans and valuable livestock. There are no drugs on the market that are effective in the population most severely affected by this parasite. This study is the first high-throughput screen for potent anti-Cryptosporidium natural products sourced from a unique marine compound library. The Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University has a collection of diverse marine organisms some of which have been subjected to medium pressure liquid chromatography to create an enriched fraction library. Numerous active compounds have been discovered from this library, but it has not been tested against Cryptosporidium parvum. A high-throughput in vitro growth inhibition assay was used to test 3764 fractions in the library leading to the identification of 23 fractions that potently inhibited the growth of Cryptosporidium parvum. Bioassay guided fractionation of active fractions from a deep-sea sponge, Leiodermatium sp., resulted in the purification of leiodolide A, the major active compound in the organism. Leiodolide A displayed specific anti-Cryptosporidium activity at a half maximal effective concentration of 103.5 nM with selectivity indexes (SI) of 45.1, 11.9, 19.6 and 14.3 for human ileocecal colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (HCT-8), human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Hep G2), human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) and green monkey kidney cells (Vero), respectively. The unique structure of leiodolide A provides a valuable drug scaffold on which to develop new anti-Cryptosporidium compounds and supports the importance of screening natural product libraries for new chemical scaffolds.

Die Art ist nach der genannten Literatur nicht eindeutig zu bestimmen. Nach Fujikawa (1978) spricht die Mehrzahl der Merkmale, insbesondere die Form des Rostrum und der Rostralzähne, Form des Sensillus und die Anordnung der Areolen auf dem Prodorsum (Abb. 4b, 5) für P. berlesei Fujikawa, 1978. Ebenso läßt das Rostrum eine meist deutliche "Nase" erkennen, was für P. paolii spräche, und schließlich entspricht die Form der Costulae am ehesten derjenigen von P. alpestris, der allerdings 3krallig ist. Wir halten es für wahrscheinlich, daß zumindest P. berlesei und P. paolii die gleiche Art sind, zumal Fujikawa selbst zwei neue Unterarten von P. paolii aufstellt und damit die beträchtliche Variabilität dieser Art bestätigt. Möglicherweise umfaßt sie sogar noch P. alpestris; denn die Anzahl der Rostralzähne kann bei P. paolii auch gegen 0 gehen und die Costulae zeigen bei unseren Tieren die Tendenz zur Ausbildung einer Translamelle, so daß nur die 3 Krallen als Unterscheidungsmerkmal blieben. Aber ist die Krallenanzahl ein so stabiles Merkmal, daß sie sich nicht bei einer möglicherweise isolierten Population im Gebirge ändern könnte?
