Remarks. Lymexylon nympheumus De Cristofori & Jan, 1832, from " It. bor. [= Italia borealis = northern Italy]", was given as an unnecessary new name for " navale ♀ " and " flavipes ♂ " (De Cristofori & Jan 1832: 26). As Cantharis navalis Linnaeus, 1758, and Lymexylon flavipes Fabricius, 1787 are subjective synonyms (Cuccodoro 2007), it follows that Lymexylon nympheumus De Cristofori & Jan, 1832 is a junior objective synonym of Lymexylon navale (Linnaeus, 1758) syn. nov.

description: Antwortverzerrungen infolge sozialer Erwünschtheit bei Selbstauskünften stellen im Zuge der Erfragung sensitiver Themen ein Problem dar. Um die Verfälschungsrate zu minimieren und somit näher an die "wahren" Prävalenzraten kritischer Verhaltensweisen heranzukommen, ist die Verwendung indirekter Befragungsmethoden hilfreich, bei denen einer Person mehr Anonymität gewährt wird als bei der direkten Befragung. Zu den bisher eingesetzten indirekten Befragungsverfahren zählen die Randomized Response-Technik (RRT) und die klassische Unmatched Count-Technik (UCT). Ein wesentlicher Nachteil der klassischen UCT besteht jedoch darin, dass sie hohe Standardfehler generiert. In der vorliegenden Studie sollten direkte Befragung, die klassische Fassung der UCT sowie eine modifizierte Variante der UCT, ein sog. Balanced-Incomplete-Block-Design (BIBD), auf kritische Fragen, die den Bereich des Schummelns im schulisch-akademischen Bereich betreffen, angewendet werden. Die Parameterschätzungen erfolgten sowohl für die klassische UCT als auch für das BIBD über eine multinomiale Modellierung. Es wurde eine Papier und Bleistift-Befragung an einer vierstelligen Stichprobe der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, der FH Düsseldorf bzw. der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal durchgeführt. Gezeigt werden konnte, dass das BIBD im Vergleich zur klassischen UCT die Standardfehler deutlich zu reduzieren imstande war. Zwar erbrachte die konventionelle Auswertung der klassischen UCT über einen Mittelwerts-Differenzen-Test signifikant höhere Basisratenschätzungen als die direkte Befragung. Demgegenüber blieben jedoch im Zuge der multinomialen Auswertung sowohl die klassische UCT als auch das BIBD den Nachweis schuldig, höhere Prävalenzratenschätzungen für die sensitiven Fragen aufdecken zu können. Kontexteffekte, die das Setting der Befragung in den Mittelpunkt stellen, und die Notwendigkeit einer Heterogenitätsannahme für die multinomiale Modellierung zukünftiger BIBD-Anwendungen werden diskutiert.

description: Resumen:

 

El artículo científico es la forma más valorada de comunicación de la ciencia. Es a través de este que el conocimiento científico se trasmite a la comunidad científica y la sociedad toda. Dada la complejidad de estas producciones toman gran cantidad de tiempo y esfuerzo. Sumado a esto, el proceso de evaluación llevado a cabo por las revistas es exhaustivo y es altamente disímil dependiendo de las particularidades de cada revista y el área de conocimiento científico. Las publicaciones de alto impacto son, por lógica, las que más trabajos reciben porque todo investigador de prestigio quiere difundir sus trabajos en las revistas de mayor visibilidad, difusión e impacto en la comunidad científica y que, en consecuencia, son las más reconocidas por las agencias de acreditación de la investigación en todos los países. Un 20% de las revistas que se editan actualmente reciben un 80% de los trabajos. Este hecho conlleva tasas de rechazo altas, llegando a arrojar, en algunos casos, un índice en torno al 90-95%.Las dificultades para lograr que un trabajo de investigación sea publicado puede llevar a que los resultados de muchas investigaciones nunca se den a conocer.El propósito de este taller es que los participantes conozcan distintas estrategias útiles al momento de proponerse publicar en revistas de difusión científica revisadas por pares. Para ellos, se realizarán una serie de ejercicios prácticos. A través de ellos los participantes lograrán identificar revistas donde publicar un artículo, analizar los requisitos de estas y la modalidad de evaluación que estos emplean y, por último, diseñaran un esquema de trabajo destinado redactar un artículo. Para llevar a cabo estas tareas se le proporcionaran distintos materiales y supervisión a medida que realicen estas tareas.Como resultado de este proceso se espera que los participantes puedan ser más autoeficaces al momento de afrontar esta difícil tarea y logren publicar artículos es revistas con referato. Se realizará un seguimiento de los participantes con el fin de indagar la utilidad percibida de este taller y su influencia.

description: Das Traits as Situational Senitivities (TASS) Modell beschreibt die Interaktion der Faktoren Person und Situation, welche gemeinsam auf Verhalten wirken. Die Frage, ob Verhalten ursächlich auf Person oder Situation zurück geht oder wie die beiden Faktoren zusammen spielen wenn beide als Ursache angenommen werden, beschäftigt die Psychologie seit vielen Jahren. Das TASS-Modell beschreibt Zusammenhänge, die sich abhängig von der Persönlichkeitsausprägung und den Situationseigenschaften synergetisch oder kompensatorisch zeigen. Das Modell befindet sich noch in der Entwicklungsphase. Es liegen verschiedene Fassungen (Originalfassung von Marshall und Brown (2006) und erweiterten Fassung von Schmitt et al. (2008)) vor, die beide noch nicht ausreichend empirisch untermauert und noch nicht mit allen verwandten Ansätzen und empirischen Befunden in Beziehung gesetzt worden sind. In der an 160 Versuchspersonen durchgeführten empirischen Überprüfung des Modells anhand der Persönlichkeitsvariable Extraversion mittels einer Kombination von expliziten (NEO-PI-R) und impliziten (Lexical Decision Task) Maßen konnte das erwartete Datenmuster nicht nachgewiesen werden. Die wahrscheinlichste Erklärung dafür ist die fehlgeschlagene experimentelle Manipulation. Die Prüfung der Annahmen des erweiterten Modells konnten im Rahmen dieser Arbeit nicht geleistet werden. Ein Ansatz, für eine Überprüfung könnten die mehrparametrischen logistischen Modelle nach Birnbaum (1968) und Lord (1981) sein. Da die Forschung an den Modellen erst am Anfang steht, werden Möglichkeiten zum weiteren Vorgehen bezüglich der Forschungsfragen diskutiert.

description: Light pollution, the excessive use of artificial light, disrupts shorebirds' natural behaviours, including nocturnal foraging, migration, and reproduction. In coastal habitats near urban areas, artificial lighting alters predator-prey dynamics, reduces prey availability, and degrades critical ecosystems. Migratory shorebirds are disoriented by bright lights, leading to energy loss and collisions, while breeding success is compromised by increased predation and habitat avoidance. This article highlights the ecological impacts of light pollution on shorebirds and advocates for mitigation through wildlife-friendly lighting, habitat protection, and policy interventions to preserve these vulnerable species and their ecosystems.

(Figure 1A)
Type species. Cymatognathus aureolateralis sp. nov.
Diagnosis. A symphysanodontid distinguishable from the other genus in the family, Symphysanodon, by the following: posterior tip of coronoid process of dentary abruptly depressed so that teeth on anterior portion appear as an elevated patch, creating a wavy contour on lower jaw (Figures 2 A, 3A); anterior tip of upper jaw not notched (Figure 5 A); posterior nostril horizontally slit-like (Figure 6 A).
Description. Characters given in familial and generic diagnoses are not repeated. Body oblong, deep, compressed; mouth large, oblique; posterior tip of upper jaw just reaching to vertical through mid-pupil, its upper and lower corners rounded; upper lip posteriorly covered by maxilla; upper jaw projecting slightly beyond lower jaw; teeth in both jaws forming bands, outer teeth larger than the inner; small but somewhat robust conical teeth on vomer, palatines, endopterygoids and ectopterygoids (Figures 7 A, 8A); anterior nostril rounded with slightly elevated rim (Figure 6 A); metapterygoid without posteroventral projection (see “Remarks” below; Figure 8 A); opercle with two flat, pointed spines, the upper broader than the lower; preopercle with almost smooth posterior margin; head and body almost completely covered by ctenoid scales; scales on head progressively smaller anteriorly; lateral line complete, gently curved anteriorly, running almost parallel to dorsal contour of body; dorsal fin with nine spines and ten soft rays, last spine and first soft ray subequal in length; anal fin with three spines and seven soft rays; caudal fin deeply forked with tips of both lobes filamentous; pectoral and pelvic fins long, posterior tips of pectoral and pelvic fins extending beyond level of anal-fin origin; hypurals 1, 2 and 5 autogenous, hypurals 3 and 4 represented by a single plate.
Etymology. The name “ Cymatognathus ” is derived from the Greek kymatos (wave) and gnathos (jaw) in reference to the characteristic wavy upper contour of the lower jaw.

Party Organisation, Youth Wings and Political Representation in Contemporary Albania

Subjects: classificationCode: 440803
subject: Comparative government and politics

description: Despite the political mobilisation of young people in protest politics in postcommunist Eastern Europe, the political representation of young people in legislatures is low. The article investigates how party youth wings contribute to such representation. Dimensions of party organisation such as degree of leadership autonomy, entropy and organisational entrenchment are better predictors of youth political representation by youth wings than formal political institutions designed to incentivise the political representation of under-represented groups. We generate our findings based on the cross-case comparison of the youth wings of the two dominant centre-left parties in Albania.
Empowering the management and performance accounting system in healthcare organisations with Artificial Intelligence: Literature and industry cases
Creators: name: Taliento, Marco
Publisher: name: Economia Aziendale Online -
Year: 2024
Subjects: Artificial Intelligence, Health Management and Accounting System, Healthcare Data Analytics, Patient-centric

description: We explore the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on the healthcare organisations through a mixed-methods approach that involves a critical analysis of both literature and industry trends (based on real-world practices and illustrative cases), as rapidly emerged in recent years. Specifically, we focus on the powerful yet partially underexplored intersection of AI in health management and accounting systems. As technological advancements reshape the healthcare landscape, we found AI to be a pivotal tool in managing, innovating, and optimising strategic and operational processes, thereby enhancing executive decision-making. The main outcome of such a process – facilitated by an effective collaboration between managers and experts (data scientists and IT professionals) – is the improvement of both patient care and financial efficiency in order to create overall value. This is achieved through more in-depth real-time monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as patient outcomes, resource utilisation, and financial metrics. We also critically review new challenges including data privacy, security, and ethical considerations, highlighting the importance of responsible AI deployment to build patient trust and ensure regulatory compliance. Additionally, raising public awareness of AI and establishing standardised guidelines are necessary steps. By investigating novel applications of AI in healthcare administration, financial management, and the synergies between these areas, the article can benefit a diverse audience across various domains, including healthcare, technology, public administration, and academia. Limitations and future research directions are also outlined.
