Xipholeptos

description: Xipholeptos n. gen.
Type species. Here designated, Idiosepius notoides Berry, 1921. Recent, sοuthern Australia.
Diagnosis. Mantle-lοcking apparatus a straight ridge that extends anteriοrly almοst tο mantle margin, funnellοcking apparatus a cοrrespοnding straight, narrοw furrοw. Seven tο 11 pairs οf suckers, extend alοng entire length οf bοth ventral arms in males; abοral side οf right ventral arm nοt mοdified. Rhachidian teeth οf radula hοmοdοnt, sοmetimes with very lοw cusps οn each side. Spermatοphοre cement bοdy with distinct bipartite structure; abοral end οf sperm reservοir with fοlded lοοp. Gladius extends full length οf mantle; narrοw, pοinted anteriοrly, rοunded pοsteriοrly; distinct median rhachis present. Remainder οf gladius, clear, translucent. Cοnus absent.
Remarks. In additiοn tο clear mοrphοlοgical differences, the Xipholeptos clade is clearly disjunct frοm the οther idiοsepiids at the mοlecular level (Fig. 1). While all Xipholeptos are recοgnised as X. notoides in the figure, specimens frοm Western Australia cοmprise a clade distinct frοm the sοuthern and eastern Australian clade. Further study is being undertaken tο determine whether separate species recοgnitiοn is warranted.
Etymology. The generic name, Xipholeptos, is derived frοm an amalgamatiοn οf the Greek ‘ xiphos ’ (ξίφος), a dοuble-edged, οne-handed Irοn Age straight shοrt swοrd used by the ancient Greeks, and leptos (λεπτόν), meaning small οr delicate. It refers tο the presence οf the swοrd-shaped gladius in representatives οf this genus. Gender masculine.

description: Adherence to prescribed home exercise is an important predictor for the long-term effectiveness of exercise therapy and therefore important to evaluate. The Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS) is a valid and reliable tool to assess exercise adherence behavior, but it is not translated into Swedish. This study aimed to translate EARS into Swedish and to explore the psychometric properties in terms of test-retest reliability, internal consistency as well and possible floor-/ceiling effects.   A translation and cultural adaptation process followed international guidelines and resulted in EARS-Sv. A total of 30 patients who had undergone shoulder surgery were included in the study and filled out EARS-Sv at two different time points. The test-retest reliability was evaluated through the weighted kappa coefficient and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess internal consistency. Floor-/ceiling effects were calculated. The test–retest reliability of the questionnaire was good with ICC (0.79, CI 95%) and moderate with weighted kappa-coefficient (MD= 0.58). Cronbach’s alpha was considered good (0.88). A ceiling effect was registered in all 6 items of EARS-Sv. EARS-Sv has moderate to good test-retest reliability and good internal consistency in patients who have undergone shoulder surgery. The postoperative results in orthopaedic patients are often dependent on adherence to postoperative home rehabilitation programs. Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS) is a questionnaire assessing adherence to prescribed home exercise and the Swedish version has an acceptable test-retest reliability and good internal consistency for patients who have undergone shoulder surgery. The Swedish version of EARS could be used as a tool to identify patients having difficulties adhering to the prescribed home exercises.

— Pinguicula jackii Barnhart var. parviflora Ernst (1961: 168), nom. inval.
Note:—Despite many efforts to locate the holotype of P. lithophytica indicated in the protologue (HAJB-HFC 71790) it was not found in the extant collection of HAJB (Eldis R. Bécquer, pers. comm., 17 April 2023); therefore, it is presumed lost. In order to provide nomenclatural stability a lectotype needs to be designated. According to Art. 9.4 of the ICN, the only known original material for this name is represented by the photographs published in the protologue (Panfet Valdés & Temple 2008) and are suitable for a lectotype designation. The Figure 2 in the protologue that shows a “Profile view of Pinguicula lithophytica flower” has been selected as lectotype. However, since none of the published photographs show a complete plant, an additional representative specimen has been designated as epitype (Art. 9.9 of the ICN, Turland et al. 2018). The name Pinguicula jackii var. parviflora was invalidly published by Ernst (1961) because the indication of the type was omitted. Ernst (1961) did not cite any examined specimen in his work; therefore, it is impossible to trace original material (Art. 9.4 of the ICN, Turland et al. 2018) for the new name he proposed that remains invalid. Shimai (2017) attempted to validate Ernst’s name by designating a neotype that he published ineffectively, contrary to the requirements of Art. 29.1 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). Additionally, Casper (2019) cited the invalid name under the synonymy of P. jackii but according to the description given by Ernst (1961) and the analysis by Temple et al. (2023) the invalid name represents P. lithophytica and is not related to P. jackii.

description: Für die Beurteilung der Standorteignung von verschiedenen Rebsorten existiert der Huglin-Index (HI), ein für den Weinbau spezifischer bioklimatischer Wärmeindex. Im Rahmen des Projekts «Offensive Spezialkulturen» der Dienststelle Landwirtschaft und Wald (lawa) des Kantons Luzern wurde die Standorteignung von Piwi-Rebsorten im Kanton Luzern anhand des Huglin-Index räumlich explizit untersucht. Für den Zeitraum 2012 bis 2021 wurde die Analyse auf Basis von Beobachtungsdaten durchgeführt und die Resultate unter Berücksichtigung von Höhenlage, Exposition und Hangneigung auf eine Auflösung von 2 m herunterskaliert. Für die künftigen Zeiträume 2031-2040 und 2051-2060 wurde der HI aus simulierten Klimadaten verschiedener Klimaszenarien (RCP 2.6, 4.5 und 8.5) in einer Auflösung von 2 km berechnet. Der HI aus den Beobachtungsdaten erreicht in den tiefer gelegenen Gegenden um Luzern und entlang dem Seetal, Surental und dem unteren Wiggertal die höchsten Werte, insbesondere bei südlicher Exposition. Innerhalb des aktuellen Rebbaukatasters liegt der Hauptanteil der berechneten HI-Werte in einem Bereich von 1500 bis 2000. Wenige Rebberge in Grenzlagen, oder Bereiche innerhalb von Rebbergen mit ungünstiger Exposition, Hangneigung und Höhenlage weisen Werte von kleiner als 1400 auf. Die berechneten HI-Werte für die künftigen Klimabedingungen zeigen eine hohe Variabilität auf, je nach berücksichtigtem Zeitraum, Klimaszenario und Klimasimulation. Aufgrund der Untersuchung ist davon auszugehen, dass der HI im Kanton Luzern in den nächsten Jahrzehnten weiter zunehmen wird, je nach Standort und Klimaszenario wahrscheinlich zwischen 20 und 100 HI-Punkten pro Dekade. Die Ergebnisse der Studie bieten eine Entscheidungsunterstützung bei der Beurteilung neuer Rebbaustandorte und bei der Auswahl von Rebsorten. Im Kanton Luzern wurden die Ergebnisse ins kantonale Web-GIS integriert und werden im Rahmen des Bewilligungsverfahrens bereits eingesetzt. Bei der Standortbeurteilung sollen aber weitere Faktoren einbezogen werden, die das Mikroklima beeinflussen, wie auch die Bodenverhältnisse, das Auftreten von Krankheiten und Schädlingen und mögliche Bewirtschaftungsoptionen. Die im Rahmen der Studie entwickelte Methodik liesse sich nun auf weitere Kantone, oder gar die gesamte Schweiz anwenden, um den standortangepassten Weinbau und insbesondere der Anbau von Piwi-Rebsorten weiter zu fördern.

630: Landwirtschaft

description: The rural areas in the Grison Alps are facing increasing challenges such as an ageing population, emigration of young people and the lack of skilled labour. Also, the increasing occurrence of extreme weather events like heavy rains and droughts, driven by climate change, are especially challenging for mountain crop cultivation, leading to yield loss, and decreasing quality of the products. However, the increasing demand of consumers for local traditional, sustainable, and innovative products presents an important opportunity for the future of Grisons mountains and its farming system. During the MOVING project, observations were shared that provide opportunities for transformation, including success stories of pioneers, changes in the support system, collaborations and research that foster innovation, but also the opportunity to build on local traditions. Expanding arable farming in the mountains holds a potential for diversification, increasing resilience and to meet consumer demands. However, it has been stressed, that traditional livestock farming will still play an important role in mountain agriculture making use of the abundant grassland resources. Within the participatory foresight exercise of MOVING, the stakeholders expressed their visions for the future that is build on a responsible society and an Agricultural Policy that supports the conservation of resources. In this scenario, communities work together towards sustainable farming and economy that connects people with nature. To enable this desired transformation, innovations are needed, especially on farm and processing level. By intertwining innovation with education, a dynamic environment with sustainable development can be created.
ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METAL CONCENTRATION IN WATER AROUND THE IJOKODO CATCHMENT AREA IN IBADAN, OYO STATE. NIGERIA
Creators: name: Mafimisebi, Peter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this study is to determine the levels of heavy metals and related physicochemical factors in surface and groundwater as a foundational dataset for assessing water quality for drinking and irrigation in Ijokodo area, Ibadan. Fifteen (15) water samples were gathered and evaluated for heavy metals and physicochemical characteristics using ICP-MS and standard methods, respectively. The pH of the water samples evaluated varied from 5.7 to 7.8, while the TDS levels ranged between 15 and 482 mg/L. The data indicate that the water near Ijokodo is within normal parameters. The concentration ranges of heavy metals  found in water were as follows: Al(31 to 231), Cr(0.2 to 18.76), Mn (7.0 to 890), Fe(110 to 761), Co(0.1 to 26.1), Ni(0.2 to 5.18), Cu(0.02 to 16), Zn(0.19 to 61.1), As(0.4 to 18.12), Cd(0.02 to 0.13), Pb (0.03 to 76.1), Th (0.001 to 1.63). These values fall under the concentration tolerance levels established by WHO. Hence, the presence of heavy metal toxicity in the research area is minimal. Possible baseline data include elevated levels of chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, cadmium, and lead in water, as well as pH and TDS due to their heightened sensitivity to pollution. Yet, because TDS levels vary by season, this metric can act as a reference point when assessed in the dry season, which was true in the research. Proper monitoring and protection of both surface and groundwater from leachate pollution from nearby dumpsites in the Ijokodo catchment area is strongly advised.

description: Die Frühsommer-Exkursion der Schweizer Mikrolepidopterologen führte 2019 in das Val Derborence, ein nördliches Seitental des Rhonetals bei Conthey. Beim Lichtfang am 5.7.2019 bei Le Liapey am Rande eines Weges auf 1340 m ü.M. unterhalb Godey hatte Wittland eine unbekannte Art der Gattung Mompha zur näheren Bestimmung mitgenommen.
Die Genitaluntersuchung zeigte ein Weibchen von
M. sexstrigella Braun, 1921.
Die Genitalstrukturen dieser Art sind in beiden Geschlechtern unverwechselbar (Abb. 1, 2) (Koster & Sinev 2003).
Aufgrund dieser Meldung überprüfte Bryner seine Falter desselben Fundortes und fand ein Männchen von M. sexstrigella, das am 6.7.2019 nur wenige Hundert Meter von der ersten Stelle entfernt gefangen wurde.
Die Art wurde zunächst von Svensson unter dem Namen Mompha complexa Svensson, 1982 als neue Art beschrieben. Erst später stellte sich heraus, dass es sich hierbei um die bereits 1921 von Braun aus Nordamerika beschriebene, holarktisch verbreitete M. sexstrigella handelt (Koster & Harrison 1997).
Varenne & Nel (2017) melden die Art erstmalig ausserhalb Nordeuropas: France, Département Hautes-Alpes, Pelvoux, Les Claux, 1260 m ü. M. und regen an, «dass nach diesem Falter jetzt im kompletten Alpenbogen gesucht werden sollte» (zitiert nach Rennwald im Lepiforum, www.lepiforum.de).
Varenne & Nel (2017) konnten nicht wissen, dass der bayrische Lepidopterologe Dr. Theo Grünewald, Landshut, bereits 1980 in den Pyrenäen ein Exemplar von M. sexstrigella nachgewiesen hat. Das Etikett trägt die Aufschrift: «SÜDFRANKREICH, Ostpyrenäen, Col de Puymorens, 1900 m ü.M., 4.–5.8.1980» (T. Grünewald pers. Mitt.). Damit sind insgesamt vier Funde aus den westlichen Hochgebirgen Europas bekannt, sodass M. sexstrigella in Europa als boreo-alpine Art angesprochen werden kann. Die Futterpflanze, Epilobium angustifolium, setzt der weiteren Verbreitung in Europa sicher keine Grenzen.

Für demokratisches Zusammenleben sind politische Partizipation und -Inklusion von Bürger:innen hochrelevant. Dafür bedarf es politischer Information und Bildung, die in Deutschland nicht für alle gleichermaßen zugänglich sind. Barrieren betreffen unter anderem Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten. Dass politisches Engagement trotzdem möglich ist, zeigen Selbstvertreter:innen, die sich auf verschiedenen Ebenen unter anderem für ihre Belange einsetzen. Für ihre Arbeit ist der Zugang zu politischen Informationen und politischer Bildung unerlässlich - es existieren also Wege. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden auf Basis autobiographisch-narrativer Interviews mit Selbstvertreter:innen bestehende politische Informations- und Bildungswege rekonstruiert. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich vielfältige Prozesse, für die in unterschiedlicher Weise z.B. mediale Zugänge (insbesondere das Fernsehen), Sozialkontakte, die Wahrnehmung persönlicher Betroffenheit und Reflexion relevant erscheinen. Ebenfalls sichtbar werden ‚Mühsame Wege‘, also Prozesse erschwerter Auseinandersetzung. Behinderung entsteht hier u.a. durch schwere, überfordernde Sprache und fehlende technische Zugänge. Insgesamt zeigt sich trotzdem: Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten finden Wege.

Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache: 
Politische Partizipation und Inklusion sind für Demokratie wichtig. 
Dafür braucht es politische Information und politische Bildung. 
In Deutschland haben nicht alle Bürger* und Bürgerinnen* die gleichen Möglichkeiten.
Barrieren betreffen zum Beispiel Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten. 
Selbstvertreter* und Selbstvertreterinnen* zeigen aber: 
politisches Engagement ist trotzdem möglich.
Für ihre Arbeit müssen sie sich politisch informieren und bilden. 
Es gibt also Wege. 
In der Arbeit wurden diese Wege erforscht. 
Dafür wurden Selbstvertreterinnen* und Selbstvertreter* interviewt. 
Aus den Erzählungen in den Interviews hat die Autorin die Wege herausgearbeitet. 
Die Ergebnisse zeigen: Die Informations-Prozesse und die Bildungs-Prozesse sind vielfältig.
Manches ist für diese Prozesse wichtig. Zum Beispiel Fernsehen, Sozial-Kontakte, persönliche Betroffenheit und Reflexion. 
Für Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten ist es manchmal besonders anstrengend, sich politisch zu informieren. Und sich politisch zu bilden. Behinderung entsteht zum Beispiel durch schwere Sprache. Oder weil die notwendige Technik fehlt. 
Insgesamt zeigt sich aber: Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten finden Wege.

description: In der Studie wurden die Kosten- und Preisstrukturen zweier tierischer Produkte und ihrer pflanzlichen Alternativen aus Schweizer Rohstoffen und Produktion verglichen, nämlich Past-Vollmilch mit Haferdrink und Rindsburger mit Bohnenburger. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass auf der landwirtschaftlichen Ebene die Kosten hoch und die Produzentenpreise im Vergleich dazu niedrig sind. In der Verarbeitung und im Detailhandel fehlt es insbesondere bei den großen Marktakteuren an Transparenz bezüglich Kosten und Preisen. Um die Konsumentenpreise für pflanzliche Fleisch- und Milchalternativen zu senken, müssten entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette Maßnahmen ergriffen werden. Als Basis für die Umsetzung von True-Cost-Ansätzen bedarf es mehr Transparenz über die Kosten und Preise in der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette.

description: Genus Bradysia Winnertz, 1867
When mounted on slides it is easy to identify specimens as belonging to the genus Bradysia. The main character is the shape of the tibial organ on the fore tibia, consisting of a comb-like row of bristles on a united base, distinctly separated from the ground hair of the tibia. Additional characters are a 3-segmented palpus with at least 2 bristles on the basal segment, bare posterior wing veins and a rather long R1 (different from Scatopsciara). The genus is distributed worldwide in all zoogeographic zones with plant growth and is likely to be the most species-rich sciarid genus of all.

description: The market for gluten-free products is experiencing significant growth due to the increase in the number of gluten/wheat affected patients diagnosed, but largely as a result of the emergence of a new niche market dedicated for consumers who optionally avoid gluten. Native flours are perceived as viable alternative for industrially used starch and hydrocolloids blends, mainly due to their lack of vitamins and minerals, which are abundant in non-refined raw materials. Edible inks for on-demand printing are under significant consideration, while texture building capacity remains an issue. As heat-moisture treatment has proved to be useful for stabilizing the pasting and rheological behavior of various native flours, HMT supported by microwave heating was investigated as printable ink stabilizers. For Spanish and Polish buckwheat flours and two different varieties of teff (white and brown) flour pasting, structural and textural characteristics after the microwave supported heat moisture treatment in 30% of initial moisture content were evaluated. The peak viscosity was reduced by 54% and 60% for Polish and Spanish flour, respectively, while for teff, the reduction was 15% and 43% for the white and brown varieties, respectively. Significant improvement in viscoelastic modulus G’ (for Polish and Spanish buckwheat flour, 32% and 16%, respectively; for white and brown tef varieties, 14% and 18%, respectively) was observed for all the treated samples regardless of the species or variety; this resulted in better performance during 3D printing.

description: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a devastating cardiovascular disease with extraordinary morbidity and mortality. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) is a common complication following ATAAD surgery, leading to adverse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between mechanical ventilation time (MVT) and prognosis and to devise a nomogram for predicting PMV after ATAAD surgery. This retrospective study enrolled 1049 ATAAD patients from 2011 to 2019. Subgroups were divided into < 12 h, 12 h to < 24 h, 24 h to < 48 h, 48 h to < 72 h, and ≥ 72 h according to MVT. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared among the groups. Using multivariable logistic regression analyses, we investigated the relationship between each stratification of MVT and mortality. A nomogram was constructed based on the refined multivariable logistic regression model for predicting PMV. The total mortality was 11.8% (124/1049). The results showed that the groups with MVT 48 h to < 72 h and ≥ 72 h had significantly higher operative mortality compared to other MVT categories. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MVT ≥72 h was significantly associated with higher short-term mortality. Thus, a nomogram was presented to elucidate the association between PMV (MVT ≥72 h) and risk factors including advanced age, preoperative cerebral ischemia, ascending aorta replacement, concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and large-volume intraoperative fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion. The nomogram exhibited strong predictive performance upon validation. Safely extubating patients within 72 h after ATAAD surgery is crucial for achieving favorable outcomes. The developed and validated nomogram provides a valuable tool for predicting PMV and optimizing postoperative care to improve patient prognosis. This novel nomogram has the potential to guide clinical decision-making and resource allocation in the management of ATAAD patients. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) is a common complication following ATAAD surgery, leading to adverse outcomes. Safely extubating patients within 72 hours after ATAAD surgery is crucial for achieving favourable outcomes. A novel, validated nomogram incorporating risk factors such as age, comorbidities and intraoperative factors predicts PMV after ATAAD surgery, aiding clinical decision-making and optimizing postoperative care.

Swiss Alps

description: Agriculture has a long tradition in the Grison Alps and plays a major role in forming the typical landscape. Within MOVING, we elaborated the mountain grain value chain and its importance to diversify the region’s traditional animal agriculture with sustainable plant products. The cooperative Gran Alpin plays an important role by managing the mountain grain production in the Grison Alps. It was formed in the 1980s and counts over 100 farmers as member today. The value chain focuses on the production and distribution of premium organic cereal products such as pasta or beer, which are popular with both private customers and retailers. Success factors have been the cooperative's drive, partnerships with local processors and retailers, as well as premium pricing through organic and regional branding. However, there are several obstacles that we have been able to identify achieving sustainable development of the region. Our research has shown that infrastructure in the farming and processing stage, availability of site-appropriate seeds, the current focus of agricultural policy towards livestock production, and the lack of skilled labour in the region are the main factors holding back grain production on farms. Therefore, we recommend investing in education, training, and advisory services as well as in infrastructure improvement and financial support for innovative mountain-specific practices.

Mountain grain
630: Landwirtschaft

description: The mountain grain value chain represents traditional highland farming practices enhanced by innovative approaches to new production methods and marketing schemes. Mountain grain cultivation diversifies the region’s traditional animal agriculture with sustainable plant products. However, the value chain faces challenges such as difficult growing conditions, and the lack of specific infrastructure (e.g. mills, silos), skilled labour, or adapted seeds. Policies to address these challenges encompass innovation, financial support and investment, education, and connectivity. This policy brief aims to describe a summary of the results collected in the region during the MOVING project and make policy recommendations for the future to increase resilience and sustainability.

Glodianus

description: Genus Glodianus Cameron, 1902
Glodianus Cameron 1902: 369.
Type species: Glodianus bombycivorus Cameron, 1902, by monotypy.
The genus Glodianus belongs to the small subtribe Glodianina comprising three exclusively Neotropical genera (Townes 1970: 232, Yu et al. 2016). All species of the subtribe are characterized by a small, rectangular or slightly trapeziform areolet in the fore wing (Fig. 5), polished first metasomal tergite (Figs 6, 7) and ovipositor apex with oblique grooves on dorsal valve (Fig. 9). Within the subtribe Glodianina, Glodianus is easily distinguished from two other genera by having a median compressed horn on the frons (Fig. 2).
Glodianus comprises ten species distributed from Mexico to Venezuela and Brazil, including one species described in this paper and another one resurrected. Seven species of Glodianus are restricted to South America and three species are known only from Mexico. Nothing is known about the distribution of any species in Central America.
An identification key to all known species of Glodianus is provided. However, Townes (1970: 235) noted that the genus is large; Central and South American faunas of Glodianus require revision, therefore additional comparison of species with their original descriptions or types is strongly recommended. Two species, G. dimidiatus (Brullé) and G. xanthostomus Cameron, are known only from males, the type of the former species is lost, and original descriptions of both species are brief and incomplete. Thus, these two species cannot be distinguished from each other until the South American fauna of the genus is revised, and therefore both species are placed in one couplet of the key.
