Africallagma quingentum

description: Africallagma quingentum Dijkstra sp. nov. – Green-fronted Bluet (Type Photo 12, Photo 19, Fig. 8)
Taxonomy
Genetically and morphologically very close to the sympatric A. sinuatum (Ris, 1921) but easily separated by details of male coloration and appendages; thus treated as a distinct species by Dijkstra & Clausnitzer (2014), who used the grammatically erroneous name A. quingenti.
Material studied
Holotype ♂. RMNH.INS.505540, Congo-Kinshasa, Katanga, Upemba National Park, Mukana, west of Lusinga, depressions with (seasonal) marsh, bog lakes and gallery forest in open grassy plains, 1770 – 1840 m a.s.l. (8.91 ° S 27.18 ° E), 13–14 -xi- 2011, leg. K.-D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH.
Further material. CONGO-KINSHASA (Katanga): 8 ♂ (RMNH.INS.505526, RMNH.INS.505527, RMNH.INS.505528), 1 ♀ (RMNH.INS.505529), Upemba National Park, Lufwi, smaller source of Kafwi, dried bog beside gallery forest, 1825 m a.s.l. (8.9426 ° S 27.1302 ° E), 13 -xi- 2011, leg. K.-D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH.
Genetics
One haplotype (n = 5) shared with A. sinuatum (n = 9; 7 additional haplotypes), which in turn shares one haplotype with A. fractum (Ris, 1921) (n = 7; 1 additional): the three species are thus probably indistinguishable in COI.
Male morphological diagnosis
Most similar to A. sinuatum by (a) fairly large size, Hw 18.0–19.0 mm (n = 5); (b) mostly blue postclypeus; and (c) cerci that are only slightly longer than paraprocts, sinuous in dorsal view, with rather short apex that is not very distinct from the quite short and strongly hooked ventral process (Fig. 8). However, (1) the face and ante-humeral stripes are pale green, not blue, and thus contrast with the blue sides of the thorax; (2) Pt are pale brown rath- er than blackish with maturity; (3) the dorsum of S 2 is blue with a broad black subapical spot, instead of a continuous though sometimes basally and apically reduced black band; (4) the cerci are narrower in lateral view; and (5)the apical teeth of the paraprocts are reduced to form pale blunt corners (Fig. 8).
Etymology
Latin name “of five hundred” alludes to this being the 500 th species of African Odonata recorded in the field by the lead author (to be treated as a plural genitive noun). Although the normal genitive plural in neuter would be quingentorum, we prefer the shorter form quingentum used by some older classic authors.
Range and ecology
Found with its presumed sister-species A. sinuatum among tussocks of grass in an open dried-out bog between 1 770 and 1 840 m a.s.l. on the Kibara Plateau in Upemba National Park (Photo 19).

description: For many young women with breast cancer, the realization that chemotherapy will most likely render them infertile is devastating. Chemotherapy-related menopause in young women produces intensely unpleasant symptoms and results in low libido and rapid bone loss. The ovarian damage increases with age and drug dose, such that 40-70% of 40-year olds will develop menopause within one year. Data in primates and patients with lymphoma suggest that shutting down the ovaries during chemotherapy with GnRH-analogues (G) reduces ovarian failure, but this has not yet been demonstrated in a breast cancer clinical trial.

 The main questions to be addressed in the research are:

 -Are women who receive G during breast cancer chemotherapy more likely to keep their menstrual function, and is the protection of G affected by a woman's age?

 -Are there factors other than age and total dose of cyclophosphamide that affect a woman's odds of developing abnormal or absent menses?

 -What are the experiences, attitudes, and information needs of newly diagnosed young women regarding ovarian damage and post-treatment childbearing?

 We will open a phase II clinical trial of the GnRH-analogue triptorelin before and during breast cancer chemotherapy in 32 women aged 35-44. Because we will include women up to their early 40s, we expect not only to document tolerability and young women's interest, but also to give a preliminary estimate of the effectiveness of the ovarian protection.

 Complementary to the clinical trial, we will have 100 young survivors complete a pilot survey about the information they received, the emotional effect of this risk, and their post-chemotherapy menstrual function. We will interview a subset of these to obtain a deeper understanding of their experiences, attitudes, and needs.

 By focusing on women aged 35-44, this will be the first clinical trial of GnRH-analog based ovarian protection in breast cancer patients who have a significant risk of visible ovarian damage after chemotherapy. Unlike other studies, we will focus on quality of life outcomes important to women--the hormonal and menstrual signs of low fertility and peri-menopause, not just immediate menopause. Our survey will add to the scant data on menstrual problems after modern chemotherapy regimens, and the qualitative component will give much needed insights into the attitudes of young women regarding childbearing after breast cancer, their information needs regarding ovarian function and early menopause, and the information and advice they currently receive from their oncologists.

The impact of the EU securitization process onthe border security framework of Turkey

description: The Impact of the EU Securitization Process on   the Border Security Framework of Turkey   Toward the Emergence of a Border Security Actor?  By  Ahmet Kaya    Dissertation Director:   Dr. Ariane Chebel D’Appollonia    The capability of states to deal with illegal flows and the states’ role in providing border security have undergone a dramatic transformation in the face of globalization. In order to understand this transformation, it was believed conducting a case study that includes the European Union (EU) and Turkey, would provide notable insights. Having considered the current literature, the author argues that there is little research with regard to the impact of the securitization of the EU borders on nation states and existing scholars have not discussed this current topic precisely. Therefore, the present research discussed the probable impacts of the securitization process and the changing security role of nation states in the area of border security.   In this respect, this study concentrated on addressing questions regarding “whether there has been any significant impact of the securitization process thus changing Turkey’s security framework and security role”. In order to measure the impact, some variables including legal, administrative, external, and budgetary actions of Turkey were selected. Changes in the chosen variables were examined over specific time periods. These time frames represented the pre-securitization period (<1999), the beginning of the securitization period (1999-2004), and the deepening of the securitization process (2005-2010) that have occurred as part of the EU accession process. In order to measure the significance of the impacts and evaluate the ultimate results, the author conducted interviews with 40 Turkish and non-Turkish professionals, experts in the field of border security, some of whom are involved in the transformation of the Turkish border security system in line with the EU requirements.   Findings obtained from the present research prove that the securitization process has had a significant impact on the evolution of the border security framework of Turkey, thus leading to a change in its security role. Having considered the evolution of the process in the Areas of Freedom, Security and Justice, the emergence of the new security agenda in the EU, and Turkey’s accession to the EU, the author argues that border security and borders will continue to play a crucial role in contemporary world policy and politics reflecting a situation similar to that of the Westphalian period.

Quantification and comparison of quorum sensing response to various quinolone molecules in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia thailandensis
Creators: name: Arslan, Evrim
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Bacteria have a quorum sensing mechanism that helps them communicate to other bacteria. It helps optimize activities such as altering behavior in response to other bacteria, facilitating cell-to-cell communication, and defeating competitors. By studying different quorum sensing signaling molecules in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia thailandensis, we have concluded that bacteria exert synergistic and antagonistic relationship in response to their environment. Bioluminescence studies have proven that different quinolones possess different characteristics. The difference in quorum sensing response between the Pseudomonas and Burkholderia species is largely dictated by the methylation of the quinolone ring named 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-alkylquinolines (HMAQs) rather than unsaturation of the alkyl chain of Burkholderia species. Also, our results indicate that there is little cross-talk between the quinolone quorum sensing molecules of both P. aeruginosa and methylated Burkholderia species. Furthermore, limited response to N-oxide quinolones indicates an attenuation of the quinolone quorum sensing response.

An analysis of human rights violations of the Turkish security forces during the European Union harmonization process of Turkey
Creators: name: Balci, Hudaverdi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This study is intended to measure the impact of international organizations on individual states’ behavior during the era of globalization. In an effort to do so, it focuses on the relationship between Turkey and the European Union. With the goal of becoming a member of the Union, Turkey has passed a myriad of laws and regulations in addition to amendments to the Constitution during the past two decades. While these legislative improvements were intended to elevate the standards of democracy and human rights in the country, considerable development has also been achieved on the practical level. It has been observed that members of the security forces have undergone a significant transition during this process. Analyzing 863 cases before the European Court of Human Rights, the study found that there has been a noticeable decline in the quantity of violations committed by the security forces. Additionally, interviews with officials in the field disclosed that a new security perception and policing mentality has emerged during this process. To sum up, the study revealed that there has been a legal and professional improvement in the field of law enforcement particularly with the impact of the EU harmonization process.

Holotype ♂. RMNH.INS.508419, Angola, Uíge Province, 4 km NE of Negage, Canuango River, open bog adjacent to small blackwater river in palm swamp, 1225 m a.s.l. (7.7351 ° S 15.2887 ° E), 28–29 -xi- 2012, leg. K.- D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH.
Further material. 4 ♂ (RMNH.INS.508417), 3 ♀ (RMNH.INS.508418), as holotype, RMNH.
Genetics
One unique haplotype (n= 3) is distant from other Agriocnemis species, which suggests the species has no close relatives.
Male morphological diagnosis
Unique among African Agriocnemis species by the (1) pronotal hindlobe that is entire and extended laterally and folded upwards to form a pair of erect knobs, which are flattened with rounded tips and thus rather spoon- like; and the terminal abdominal structure with (2) the distal border of S 10 extended dorso-medially into a rounded knob that is about half as long as the segment, somewhat like in A. ruberrima Balinsky, 1961 but much thick- er; (3) the cerci that are almost as long as S 10 and over twice as long as the paraprocts, appearing rather thick, down-turned and distally truncated in lateral view, although their inside is hollowed out and thus appears ear-like in dorsal view, with a tiny black tooth directed straight downwards at their extreme base; and (4) the paraprocts reduced and rounded, with a ventral black tooth positioned externally to the cercal tooth, but even smaller and placed even more basally and visible only caudally (Fig. 9). Other notable features include (5) the small size, Hw 9.3–9.7 mm (n = 5); (6) the black labrum with a greenish white border; (7) all Pt pale brown with the anterior border about twice as long as the posterior; and (8) the distally orange to reddish abdomen from halfway S 7, whether teneral or mature.
Etymology
Named after the type locality (noun in apposition).
Range and ecology
Only known from the type locality in northern Angola, just 400 m from that of A. toto sp. nov., a small grassy bog with almost no open water (Photo 20), close to a blackwater river with gallery swamp forest on a grassy sandy plateau at 1 225 m a.s.l. Mature adults were found in fair numbers among the tussocks after rain in the late afternoon, but were not seen during sunny weather between late morning and noon a few days later.

An exploratory study of multiple identities in East Asian American women who are attracted to women
Creators: name: Ong, Diana Lei Lei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This exploratory study examined the experiences of East Asian American women who  are romantically or sexually attracted to women (EAAWAW). EAAWAW was selected as the most inclusive term for women self-identifying as lesbian, gay, queer, and bisexual. EAAWAW have previously been studied as a population that experiences unique challenges due to their multiple minority status. They have to navigate situations in which one or more of their minority statuses related to their gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity are stigmatized, which might lead to psychological stress. Three main research questions were addressed in this study: 1) What are the challenges that EAAWAW face with regard to their sexual identity, gender, and ethnicity? 2) How do they deal with these challenges? Specifically, how might they utilize multiple self-aspects to manage stigma and stress associated with being attracted to women, East Asian, and female? 3) How do EAAWAW conceptualize themselves with regard to their identity and how does their self-concept vary across contexts? A qualitative analysis of nine semi-structured, in-depth interviews was completed using a grounded theory approach. Participants ranged in age from 25 to 65 and were all residing in the United States. The interview data were analyzed to uncover qualitative themes. These included the range of identities and roles with which EAAWAW identify, multiple minority stress, invisibility, conflict between sexual orientation and family and East Asian values, freedom from societal norms, positive discrimination, benevolent prejudice, social support, identity management, and cognitive reframes. Overall, despite the stigma- related challenges that EAAWAW experience, the individuals interviewed in this study demonstrated much resilience and a variety of coping strategies that allowed them to move between communities and manage their multiple identities. These findings are discussed as well as their important implications for EAAWAW, their families, mental health professionals, and the communities to which EAAWAW belong. The study suggests that these groups would benefit from an increased understanding of the nature of multiple minority stress as well as the variety of cognitive, interpersonal, and identity management strategies available to EAAWAW as they navigate different communities and contexts in their personal and professional lives.

description:
Monitoring bridges for precursors of failure has the potential to improve their safety and resilience. However, the most prominent cause of bridge failure, scour, is difficult to monitor as it occurs underwater. The potential to identify scour by monitoring changes in the natural frequencies of a bridge is studied experimentally in this research. A field study was carried out on a bridge with pre- existing scour confined to a section of a piled pier foundation, which was monitored throughout a repair process involving controlled backfilling of the scoured region, i.e. scour in reverse. The changes in natural frequency due to backfilling of the scour hole were unable to be captured experimentally as the estimated magnitudes (9% and 6 % for the first and second modes respectively) were of the same order as the variability of the natural frequency estimates. In order to study the relationship between natural frequency and scour in a more controlled environment, a geotechnical centrifuge experiment was conducted to simulate scour in a small-scale integral bridge model in dense sand. The model showed a significant (up to 40 %) change in natural frequency as a result of a scour depth equivalent to 30 % of the piled foundation depth. These experimental findings suggest that natural frequencies can potentially aid in detecting extensive bridge scour for piled foundations, but it may be challenging to detect localised scour limited to only a small portion of a foundation.
An examination of quality of life in women with compulsive hair pulling
Creators: name: Hersperger, Chelsea Hetrick
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: The present study explored how trichotillomania (TTM) impacts women’s lives in a systematic and detailed manner, by allowing participants to elaborate on the idiosyncratic ways in which hair pulling affects them across multiple domains. Fourteen adult women with a mean age of 22.9 (SD = 4.8) having met criteria for problematic hair pulling behaviors accompanied by subjective distress and/or impairment, completed an online series of self-report questionnaires measuring symptoms related to: quality of life (QOL), anxiety, depression and TTM. Eight of these women subsequently completed a follow-up telephone interview to gather qualitative information regarding the impact of hair pulling on their lives. Severity of symptoms on all measures did not significantly differ for women who completed the interviews compared to those who did not. Quantitative results indicated that TTM did not relate to anxiety, depression or QOL using typical self-report measures even though QOL did have an inverse relationship with anxiety and depression. Using grounded theory, six conceptual categories emerged from qualitative analysis of the data as related to women’s QOL: Shame and Secrecy, Appearance, Relationships and Trust, Perceived Benefits, and Acceptance. Each of these categories was further broken down into subcategories to facilitate discussion. The results of the present study suggest that hair pulling has positive, negative and neutral ramifications on women’s lives not typically captured by standard inventories measuring QOL. The effects of hair pulling identified in the study have implications on both research and practice.

description: Agriocnemis toto Dijkstra sp. nov. – Toto’s Wisp (Type Photo 14, Fig. 9)
Taxonomy
Superficially like A. falcifera Pinhey, 1959 or A. pinheyi Balinsky, 1963, but genetically closer to but distinct from A. maclachlani Selys, 1877: male appendages render it unmistakeable.
Material studied
Holotype ♂. RMNH.INS.559527, Angola, Uíge Province, 4 km NE of Negage, Canuango River, wet depression with reeds near blackwater river, 1229 m a.s.l. (7.7338 ° S 15.2837 ° E), 02-x- 2013, leg. K.-D.B. Dijkstra, RMNH. Further material. 2 ♀ (RMNH.INS.559520, RMNH.INS.559524), as holotype.
Genetics
One unique haplotype (n = 3) nearest to but well-differentiated from A.maclachlani, which requires revision as it includes A. angustirami Pinhey, 1974 and at least two distinct groups, one of which may refer to A. aligulae Pinhey, 1974 that was synonymised with A. maclachlani by D’Andrea & Carfi (1997).
Male morphological diagnosis
Similar to many African Agriocnemis species with its (a) moderate size, Hw 12.0 mm (n = 1); (b) all-black labrum and postclypeus with metallic purple and blue shine respectively; (c) pronotal hindlobe divided into two small rounded lateral lobes and one larger fanlike central section; (d) all Pt pale brown; and (e) S 8–10 orange. However, the appendages are distinctive with structure nearest to A. falcifera and A. pinheyi, but proportions like A. gratiosa Gerstäcker, 1891 and A. inversa Karsch, 1899, with (1) the distal border of S 10 slightly raised medio-dorsally; (2) the cerci about as long as S 10 and the paraprocts about 1.5 times as long; (3) the cerci falcate and hollowed out apically, like A. falcifera, A. pinheyi and A. stygia Fraser, 1954 but much sleeker, with the ventral process exceptionally long and narrow, extending down to reach between the paraprocts; and (4) the paraprocts triangular, i.e., wide at base and tapering distally like A. falcifera, with horizontally flattened tips terminating in a transverse black ridge recalling A.maclachlani (Fig. 9).
Etymology
Named in honour of Alvaro Bruno Toto Nienguesso, the driving force behind biodiversity research in Uíge Province, Angola (noun in apposition).
Range and ecology
Only known from the type locality in northern Angola, just 400 m from that of A. canuango sp. nov., which is a similar boggy depression on a grassy sandy plateau at 1 225 m a.s.l. but probably drier seasonally and with taller and denser reed-like vegetation.

Year: 2025
Subjects: Adhocracy culture, Corporate Performance, Hospitalities

description: The state of a country's hospitality sector regulates the progress of its inhabitants' wellbeing and quality of life. The Nigerian hospitality industry is challenged with matters that result in deprived service delivery. Therefore, this study seeks to ascertain the result of adhocracy culture on the performance of hospitals in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study was focused on resource-based view theory. Together descriptive and explanatory research projects were used. The study targeted 20 hotels in Rivers State, Nigeria. All the hotels were comprised in the study and consequently, it was a census. The unit of observation included 10 departmental heads from each hotel. A total of 200 respondents were anticipated to contribute to the study. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain primary data. Pilot data was used to measure the questionnaire’s reliability. Frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviation were used in descriptive statistical analysis. Inferential statistics were used to determine how variables were related. It consisted of correlation and regression analysis to assess the relationship between the independent and dependent variable. The findings of the correlation analysis found out that adhocracy culture had a positive and significant relationship with corporate performance (r=0.640, p=0.000). Further, regression output indicated that adhocracy culture had a positive and significant effect on firm performance (β=.719, p=0.000). Therefore, the study concluded that adhocracy culture has a substantial contribution to the performance of hotels. The management of hotels should ensure policies are efficient to fortify the features of adhocracy culture within the corporation. In particular, the management should uphold adaptability and also inspire separate initiatives. The management should more so, increase the corporations’ resources via procurement of new resources.

Tourette syndrome in adolescence
Creators: name: Happich, Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This exploratory study investigated the experiences of adolescents with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and its impact on their family, peers, school, self-concept and view of the future.  The focus on adolescents was deliberate since TS typically emerges in childhood, with tics at their worst during adolescence.  A qualitative analysis of eight semi-structured interviews was completed using a grounded theory approach to capture the main themes that emerged from the adolescents’ responses.  The results of the study identified several main themes that these adolescents experienced which included: more adverse experiences with TS than positive ones, pervasive misconceptions about TS symptoms, a desire for more understanding of TS by the public, understanding and supportive families experiencing increased stress, academic challenges requiring accommodations, the active suppression of tics in school and in pubic, complex social interactions with peers, overall positive self-concepts impacted minimally by TS and a positive outlook on the future, fueled by resilience.  These themes were thoroughly discussed within the context of existing research findings in the TS literature.  The study’s limitations were also considered given its small sample size comprised exclusively of all adolescent males from a clinical population. Implications for future research were discussed and suggested that the scientific community recognize the importance of qualitative research in understanding what it means to live with TS and to design experiments that broaden this part of the literature to ensure that TS will be more thoroughly understood and treatment will become more holistic.
Profiling of Tyrosine Phosphatases in Breast Cancer

description: Breast cancer is characterized by the overgrowth of cells and movement of cells out of the confines of the breast. Some breast cancers are also characterized by their resistance to drug treatments. Many of these processes are controlled by the presence or absence phosphate molecules on cellular proteins (phosphorylation of proteins). The enzymes that are responsible for phosphorylation are called tyrosine kinases (enzymes that add a phosphate molecule to a protein) and tyrosine phosphatases (enzymes that remove a phosphate molecule from a protein). It is the balance between the actions of these two sets of enzymes that control the fate of the cell. The importance of these enzymes is reflected by the fact that the causes of many cancers can be traced back to mutations in the genes that code for them and that the aberrant production and/or activity of these enzymes are often found in cancers. These genes are therefore valuable markers for cancer and can also be used as possible targets for therapy. One good example of a tyrosine kinase is HER2. Elevated levels of HER2 correlates with poor prognosis in some forms of breast cancer and HER2 is used as a marker. Herceptin, an antibody that interferes with HER2 function, has recently been introduced as an additional therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Having said that, it is important to point out that identifying a good tyrosine kinase marker is not trivial and thus far only very few have been identified. One good reason is that previously developed approaches have looked at one gene at a time. Because tyrosine phosphatases often interact with one another, the alteration of one kinase or phosphatase might affect the others; therefore, one needs to examine all kinases and phosphatases at once to gain a full picture of the aberrant levels.

 In this project, we will to design and implement a method that allows us to "see" all the tyrosine phosphatases at once. This means that within one or two days, we can describe the tyrosine phosphatase profiles of a give breast cancer specimen or cell line. This information will give us a fingerprint of a tumor and allow us to rapid identify phosphatases that are present at aberrant levels in certain types of breast cancer. The approach, when developed, would provide early detection markers, as well as the response profiles of breast cancer to anti-estrogen and chemotherapeutic treatments.
