Redescription
The species has been recently redescribed and diagnosed in detail by Smetana (2017a) under the name I. bicoloris. This description is supplemented here only by the comments above and Figs 1D–E, 7B.
Distribution
This widespread, potentially common species is known from medium elevations in northern Myanmar, and Yunnan and Sichuan, China (Smetana 2017 a, 2017b).
Bionomics
Indoquedius parallelicollis appears to be tolerant to human disturbance and has been collected in a haystack and plant debris in a ruderal habitat (Smetana 2014, 2017a; Yan et al. 2017). Other specimens have been collected in a mixed forest by sifting litter, twigs and roots (Smetana 2015)
Remarks
The type series of I. parallelicollis includes one male and one female (Fig. 1D). The male was dissected to reveal an aedeagus identical to the color polymorphic species I. bicoloris. The current distribution of I. bicoloris includes the narrow part of Yunnan, China, west of the Salween River (Smetana 2014) and not far from Kambaiti Pass in Myanmar. Therefore I. bicoloris syn. nov., becomes a junior synonym of I. parallelicollis.
The female holotype of I. sanguinipennis (Fig. 1E) corresponds perfectly (coloration of legs and abdomen, elytral punctation) with a female paratype (ASC) of the red elytra morph of I. bicoloris. Female tergite X was also consistent with that of I. bicoloris and the paratype of I. parallelicollis, including the deep emargination (Fig. 7B). Therefore, along with I. bicoloris, I. sanguinipennis syn. nov., becomes a junior synonym of I. paralellicollis.

description: A spacetime singularity, identified by the existence of incomplete causal geodesics in the spacetime, is called a (Tipler) strong curvature singularity if the volume form acting on independent Jacobi fields along causal geodesics vanishes in the approach of the singularity. It is called naked if at least one of these causal geodesics is past incomplete. Here, we study the formation of strong curvature naked singularities arising from spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of general type-I matter fields in an arbitrarily finite number of dimensions. In the spirit of Joshi and Dwivedi [26], and Goswami and Joshi [31], we first construct regular initial data in terms of matter variables and geometric quantities, subject to the dominant and null energy conditions. Using this initial data, we derive two distinct (but not mutually exclusive) conditions, which we call the positive root condition (PRC) and the simple positive root condition (SPRC), that serve as necessary and sufficient conditions, respectively, for the existence of naked singularities. In doing so, we generalize the results of [26] and [31]. We further restrict the PRC and the SPRC by imposing the curvature growth condition (CGC) of Clarke and Krolak [24] on all causal curves that satisfy the causal convergence condition. The CGC gives a sufficient condition for the naked singularities implying the PRC and implied by the SPRC, to be of strong curvature type; thereby also implying the $C^2$ inextendibility of the spacetime. Using the CGC, we extend the results of [28] (that hold for dimension $N=4$) to the case $N=5$, showing that strong curvature naked singularities can occur in this case. However, for the case $N\geq6$, we show that past-incomplete causal curves that identify naked singularities do not satisfy the CGC. These results shed light on the validity of the cosmic censorship conjectures in arbitrary dimensions.

Members of this large, monophyletic group can be recognized by the combination of: genal puncture present; basal puncture doubled; elytra with evenly distributed punctures or with at least asetose punctures on disc among serial rows of setose punctures. This lineage currently consists of Anthosaurus Smetana, 2015, Pseudorientis Watanabe, 1970, Korgella Özdikmen, 2005, Quedius (Velleius) (Fabricius, 1787) and the large polyphyletic subgenus Quedius (Microsaurus) Stephens, 1829, inside which all the aforementioned taxa are nested. To avoid treating all members of the Microsaurus lineage as a single, morphologically heterogeneous genus, and to avoid a major priority issue (Velleius Leach, 1819 has priority over Microsaurus Dejean, 1833), the major subclades of this lineage should be ranked as genera, pending comprehensive morphological study (Brunke et al. 2021). One of these taxa is described below.

description: For students with severe disabilities and complex communication needs, providing opportunities to participate in social and academic activities can be limited due to communication barriers. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have allowed individuals with complex communication needs the ability to communicate with communication partners, however, despite the gains AAC devices have provided, this population is still limited in communication opportunities within educational settings. This study used a multiple-baseline single-subject design to explore the relationship between a professional development intervention (TIPTICS) and communication opportunities and events of middle school students with complex communication needs and their teachers. The participants included three students between the ages of 12-13 who used an AAC device in school and their teachers. The results of the study showed a positive and functional relationship between the TIPTICS professional development training package with educators and communication opportunities and events using AAC devices for students with complex communication needs. This study contributes to the limited body of knowledge concerning using AAC devices in school environments and fills a critical gap by providing research on (a) the current use of AAC device in classroom settings, (b) use of verbal operants with AAC devices, (c) effects of communication training to increase communication skills in the classroom, and (d) how AAC devices and staff support can directly impact student outcomes. This study highlights the need for future research on implementing AAC interventions with students across various communication partners, settings, contexts, and activities throughout school settings. This study also provides a foundation and informs practices related to providing training and support to educators on proper implementation procedures and creating communication opportunities. Finally, the results of this study show that training educators and developing their skills have a direct impact on their students’ communication, academic, and social outcomes.

description: Reuben Baron’s ecological approach to social perception simultaneously emphasized both the perceptual nature of social judgment and the social nature of perception. One novel contribution of this work was an expansion of the concept of attunement, arguing that the detection of affordances could be guided not only by physiological constraints, but also by culture, attitudes, motivation, and social roles. In this paper, I provide an empirical demonstration of this principle by testing how social attitudes (i.e. sexist beliefs) can influence the detection of affordances in objects associated with a particular gender. An online sample of participants (n = 212) was presented with a series of objects and asked to identify which could be used for novel actions. The objects presented were pre-tested to have either masculine, feminine, or neutral associations. A mixed effects logistic regression revealed a three-way interaction between participant gender, the object’s association, and the participants’ hostile sexism. Specifically, men high in hostile sexism were significantly less likely to identify a functional object when it was feminine. This finding demonstrates that even the individual perception of an inanimate object’s affordances is a social psychological process, supporting Baron’s argument that all human behavior is a form of groupthink.

Figs 1F, 4C–D, 7C
Quedius (Indoquedius) recticollis Scheerpeltz, 1965: 294.
Diagnosis
Among members of the Bipunctatus group, I. recticollis can be easily recognized by the combination of: impunctate middle areas and posterior half to two-thirds of abdominal tergites III–VI (Fig. 4D); the sparse but regularly spaced elytral punctures (Fig. 4C); and the darkened middle and hind femora (Fig. 1F). Indoquedius recticollis is somewhat similar to I. dispersepunctatus in the sparsely punctate abdomen and darkened middle and hind femora but can easily be distinguished by the darkened first antennomere, much finer and regularly spaced elytral punctures, the longer elytra, the coarser abdominal punctures and the pale apices of the abdominal tergites. These two species may be related as they share a similar shape of female tergite X (Fig. 7A, C).
Type material
Holotype
MYANMAR – Kachin State • ♀; “N.E. Burma, Kambaiti; 2000 m; 4/6.1934; Malaise [printed label] / HOLOTYPUS [red handwritten label] / TYPUS Quedius recticollis, O.

Redescription
Similar to Indoquedius dispersepunctatus and differing only in the following: antennomere 1 darkened on dorsal surface; abdominal tergites broadly paler apically; head with two parocular punctures; temples slightly smaller; antennomere 3 slightly longer than 2, about 1.4 ×; antennomere 10 distinctly broader at apex, shape more obviously triangular; pronotum slightly transverse, more strongly convergent anteriad; scutellum longer, more typical of the genus, densely punctate with only outer margins impunctate; elytra longer at both suture and at sides, at sides distinctly longer than pronotum at midline; elytral punctures much finer and less strongly impressed, regularly distributed though sparse, separated by more than one puncture diameter; abdominal punctation coarser, tergite III with sparse punctures across disc, middle of tergites impunctate or nearly so on tergites III–VI; female tergite X slightly less strongly narrowed to apex, which is broader overall and more shallowly and broadly emarginate (Fig. 7C).
Distribution
Known only from the type locality in Myanmar (Kachin).
Remarks
The type material contains only the female holotype, which was dissected. Based on external morphology, this species does not appear to have any synonyms and can be recognized based on external morphology alone.

description: Abstract

In this study we examined the impact of oil price shocks on macro- economic indicators (i.e., Gross Domestic Product, inflation, investment, money supply & exchange rate) by applying the Vector Autoregressive Model and using quarterly data (i.e.  from 1961q1- 2022q1). Results of Vector Autoregressive model suggested that the oil price has significant influence on economic conditions in a country. Moreover, oil price has shown the negative effect on GDP and investment, while as oil price has positively affected on inflation. Furthermore, granger causality test shows the bidirectional relationship among the oil price and GDP, oil price and investment other variables are uni-variate. Impulse response and factor variance decomposition has showed the oil price has significant impact on major economic indicators of Pakistan. This study also retained some limitations in the context of Pakistan.

description: Proper transcriptional regulation of testicular cells is necessary for the production of spermatozoa. One key aspect of this is the control of male germ cells, which develop from spermatogonia in a tightly coordinated manner to mature into spermatozoa that will ultimately be released from the seminiferous tubule lumen and go on to form viable sperm. During germ cell development, meiosis occurs in order to ensure the proper number of chromosomes are passed on to the future sperm. We describe how one important meiotic protein, stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 (STRA8), is actually necessary for proper spermatogonial development prior to meiotic initiation. While a focus on germ cells is clearly impactful for male fertility, equally as important are the somatic cells that provide nutrients, structural support and specialized niches, and signaling mechanisms to support germ cell development. To address the importance of somatic Sertoli cells for germ cell development, we employed single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing to compare transcript changes throughout the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium in both germ cell-sufficient and -deficient mice. We found that in the absence of germ cells, Sertoli cells do not have normal transcriptomes, thus highlighting the importance of germ-Sertoli crosstalk during spermatogenesis. Together, we show the complexity of both germ and somatic cells necessary for proper male germ cell development, and how deficiencies in multiple cell types can have negative implications for fertility.

description: There is an enduring concern about loss of crop genetic diversity. Common wheat went through major genetic bottlenecks during polyloidization, domestication, and modern plant breeding. We assessed changes in genetic diversity and population structure of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and the U.S. wheat populations from 1850s to current day. We did not find long-term loss of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) gene diversity. In the PNW, spring varieties had peak diversity in 1970-99 but hard red spring (HRS) varieties had reduced diversity in 2000-19. For the U.S. population, comparison between pre-1961 and post-1961 varieties showed a slight increase in SNP gene diversity of spring varieties and no change in winter varieties. Genetic diversity is crucial for continued breeding gains but use of diverse landraces in breeding is difficult due to linkage drag. A wide cross between a landrace and an adapted parent is followed by multiple backcrosses to the adapted parent to restore adaptedness. This practice reduces the possibility to evaluate potentially novel and useful alleles that exist in landraces. Linkage-blocks that confer adaptation have repeatedly been selected by breeders and are likely to exhibit signatures of selection. Identification of linkage-blocks associated with adaptation could help breeders restore adaptedness without using multiple backcrosses and therefore incorporate and evaluate more novel alleles from landraces. We used three extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) based statistics to report putative adaptation-associated linkage-blocks selected in U.S. regional and state wheat populations.
description: As stripe rust pathogen races evolve, novel resistance genes are needed for breeders to develop new resistant varieties. PI119350, a spring landrace from Turkey was rated highly resistant to stripe rust in Pullman and Mt. Vernon, WA. It was also resistant to stripe rust pathogen races Pstv-14 and Pstv-37, but not to Pstv-40, suggesting it could be Yr10, Yr24, Yr32, or a novel resistance gene. Quantitative trait locus analysis showed the resistance gene to be associated with the microsatellite marker psp3000, a diagnostic marker for Yr10 on chromosome 1B. Both the donor of Yr10 gene (PI178383) and PI119350 were collected from Turkey. Therefore, the QTL in PI119350 is probably Yr10 and not novel.

description: Subgenus Microsaurus Dejean, 1833
Remarks
This diverse subgenus is in great need of generic revision as it is rendered polyphyletic by several genera and subgenera of Quediini, including Malaisdius (see further comments above under “ Microsaurus lineage”). Currently, it is not possible to give a meaningful diagnosis of Quedius (Microsaurus). The species groups listed below are redefined from Smetana (2017a), likely monophyletic and correspond to clades in Brunke et al. (2021). They will be treated in much greater detail in a future publication.
Apicicornis group, sensu nov.
Smetana (2017a) (and additional references listed therein) have recognized the Beesoni and Apicicornis species groups of Quedius (Microsaurus) as separate yet similar taxa that are commonly collected and abundant components of the East Palaearctic and Oriental fauna. Recently, it was shown that the Beesoni group rendered the Apicicornis group paraphyletic but they together formed a monophyletic ‘Clade D’ within the Microsaurus lineage, with the exception of Quedius masatakai Smetana, 2007 and Q. masasatoi Smetana, 2007 (Brunke et al. 2021). Here the former two groups, minus the Masasatoi group (see below), are combined to form a newly defined Apicicornis species group that can be recognized globally within the lineage of Microsaurus by the following combination of character states: antennomeres 6–10 simple (not serrate or bipectinate) but inflated (i.e., not flattened, Fig. 5C), antennomere 10 at most weakly transverse, many species with all antennomeres elongate; eyes large but with distinct temple, eye strongly protruding from head outline and with posterior frontal puncture situated at about the hind margin of eye (Fig. 5D); pronotum at least slightly explanate, with at least some marginal punctures removed from the marginal bead (Fig. 5D), anterior angles broadly rounded and with marginal bead entirely visible as seen in dorsal view (Fig. 5D); scutellum impunctate; elytral punctures uniform in size, setose and evenly distributed (Fig. 5E), in most species (not Q. rutilipennis and several others) fine and dense. The Apicicornis group as defined here should be treated as a separate genus but this is outside of the scope of this paper and a more thorough morphological study is needed for a formal description.

Diagnosis
Within the Apicicornis group, Q. rutilipennis can be recognized by a combination of: the sublateral rows of the pronotum reaching posteriad of the large lateral puncture; and the sparsely punctate to impunctate disc of tergites III–IV (Fig. 5E).

Redescription
This species was recently described (as Q. cornutus) by Cai et al. (2015) with sufficient detail. That description is supplemented here with a complete habitus illustration (Fig. 2C) and some additional images of the antennae, forebody and abdomen (Fig. 5C–E). The female was previously undescribed and so tergite X is illustrated in Fig. 7E.
Distribution
The species is known from Myanmar (Kachin) and an adjacent area of Yunnan, China.
Remarks
The type series includes the male holotype and two female paratypes. The male was dissected to reveal an aedeagus identical to Q. cornutus Cai, Yan-Peng, Zong-Yi Zhao & Hong-Zhang Zhou 2015. The type locality of Q. cornutus is located in the narrow part of Yunnan west of the Salween River (Cai et al. 2015) and not far from the type locality of Q. rutilipennis in Myanmar. Therefore Q. cornutus syn. nov., becomes a junior synonym of Q. rutilipennis.

description: Masasatoi group
Quedius masasatoi Smetana, 2007, from China (Fujian, Yunnan), Laos and Vietnam, was previously included in the Apicicornis group of Smetana (2017a), likely out of convenience as it is rather different in habitus. In a similar way, Smetana (2007) placed Q. masatakai Smetana, 2007, from Laos and Vietnam (Smetana & Brunke 2021), in the Ripicola group even though it was rather different in habitus. Recently, these two species were shown to be sister groups within ‘Clade E’ of the Microsaurus lineage, and together were sister to a species here described as Malaisdius smetanai gen. et sp. nov. (Brunke et al. 2021). Quedius masasatoi and Q. masatakai are here included in a newly delineated group, which also includes Q. piceolineatus Scheerpeltz, 1965 from the Malaise material collected in northern Myanmar. A new genus will need to be described for this group but additional morphological study is required in order to provide a more robust diagnosis. The Masasataoi group is provisionally diagnosed within the Microsaurus lineage by the following combination of characters: head with eyes large, clearly longer than temples but temples well-developed (Fig. 2D), eyes protruding from lateral head margin, posterior frontal puncture situated at about hind margin of eye, without additional punctures between posterior frontal puncture and basal punctures; antennomeres 6–10 flattened as typical for Quediini, not inflated; pronotum slightly explanate, marginal punctures not removed from marginal bead, anterior angles with marginal bead partly hidden in dorsal view, dorsal row with second and third punctures rather close together (about one puncture diameter or less) and separated from the first by a long gap (Fig. 5F), at least on one side; sublateral row not extended posteriad of large lateral puncture, without additional punctures between dorsal and sublateral rows (Fig. 5F); scutellum impunctate but sometimes with micropunctures or scratch-like elements, elytra sparsely but evenly punctate, punctures setose (Fig. 5F); abdominal tergites III or III–IV with median impunctate area (Fig. 2D); mesotarsomeres 2–4 short, triangular.
