description: 3. Homaloxestis cholopis (Meyrick, 1906)
Lecithocera cholopis Meyrick, 1906: 149. TL: Koni, Burma. Type in BMNH.
Homaloxestis cholopis: Clarke, 1965: 88; Gozmány, 1973: 415; 1978: 67; Wu, 1997: 146; Park 1999: 240.
Homaloxestis lophophora Janse, 1954, 5: 341 TL: Pretoria. Deposition of type unknown. Synonymized by Gozmány (1978).
Homaloxestis surrepta Diakonoff, 1968: 130, synonymized by Gozmány (1978). TL: Philippines. Type in USNM.
Diagnosis. Wingspan 14.5–16.0 mm. The species is superficially similar to H. baibaraensis Park, 1999, but the apex of the forewing is more acute and the hindwing is more grayish. The male genitalia are similar to those of xylotripta Meyrick and australis Park, but can be distinguished by the shape of the valva with a nearly straight costa.
Male genitalia. See Clarke (1965: pl. 44, figs. 1a–b), Gozmány (1978: pl. 18, fig. 9), and Park (1999: figs. 25, 25a–b). Valva with costa nearly straight, no acute process on ventral margin medially.
Female genitalia. See Gozmány (1978: pl. 59, fig. 9) and Park (1999: fig. 52). Antrum short, nearly quadrate. Ductus bursae broadened medially, with many conical spines internally. Signum rhomboid with median groove.
Material examined. 1ɗ, Mt. Apo, Mindanao (erroneously cited as Luzon in the original description), 8.V.1945 (J. G. Franclemont), gen. prep. no. USNM-8996 Diakonoff. Type in USNM.
Distribution. Philippines, Taiwan, China, Myanmar, Nepal, India, Java, SW Africa.
Remarks. This species has a wide geographic distribution from eastern Asia to southwestern Africa. Diakonoff (1968) described H. surrepta Diakonoff from the Philippines, but it was latter synonymized with H. cholopis (Meyrick) by Gozmány (1978). See Diakonoff (1968: fig. 187) for an illustration of the male genitalia. No additional specimens from the Philippines were found during this study.

Orienting Economics
Creators: name: Sun, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2024

This thesis examines the various intellectual currents from mercantilism, Physiocracy, early Chinese nationalism and Maoist socialism, and their interrelation with various institutions of power such as that of the Orientalist archive, the institution of the State, and the practice of politics. I interrogate a particular “hall of mirrors” narrative wherein an Orientalized China was the object of economic theories by Physiocrats who proved to be influential to Marx, which through networks of imperialism those theories made their way to said Orient during the latest 19th century, underpinning the political program of revolutionaries who would then take state power in 1949. Although criticized during the Mao-era for “economism”, the milieu of economists such as Sun Yefang carried the day, as economics as theory, prescription and practice proved more difficult to reform or revolutionize than one would have imagined for a strong Party government. Using frameworks developed by Edward Said and late 20th century continental thinkers such as Sylvain Lazarus – who themselves often took the radical image of Maoist China as an object of inspiration – to examine where this inertia comes from, why economics seems so imbricated with institutions of power, how certain economic ideas come to prominence, and what we are to do with the still-lingering realities of Empire.

description: Bythotrephes longimanus Leydig, 1860
This is the type species of the genus which was thoroughly revised by Korovchinsky (2015), when its representatives from the type locality (Lake Bodensee) and from some localities of Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and Great Britain were investigated. The Austrian representatives of the species were only slightly affected by this study. The present investigation using more abundant material has revealed that the latter ones are really morphologically specific, differing from specimens of western populations, and therefore worthy of being allocated to a separate taxon. Therefore, it turns out that the species B. longimanus is represented by two subspecies, B. longimanus longimanus Leydig and another new one described below.

Mayawa

description: Mayawa Fletcher, 2000
Notes. Fletcher (2000) provided a description of the genus based on the six species originally included. The crown texture was described as “shagreen” but only the anterior part of the crown has this texture, the posterior two thirds of the crown between the eyes is glabrous with very fine longitudinal striations laterally. The following additional traits appear to be characteristic of the genus and are included here to supplement the original description. Coronal suture extended nearly full length of crown. Eye emarginate adjacent to antenna. Anteclypeus only slightly tapered distally. Maxillary sensillum closely adjacent to lateral margin of lorum near middle. Front femur with AM1 seta large and situated near ventral margin, IC row extended to basal half of femur, AV row with basal setae very short and inconspicuous; tibia rows PD and AD with 4 and 1 macrosetae, respectively. Hind femur macrosetal formula 2+2+1; tibial row PD with macrosetae alternating short and long; tarsomere I pecten with 4 platellae, inner seta platelliform.
In the structure of the male genitalia, Mayawa closely resembles the widespread Holarctic genus Sorhoanus Ribaut but species of the latter have the forewing less elongate with the outer anteapical cell usually much larger, the crown more strongly produced and angulate anteriorly, and the ventroapical pygofer process greatly reduced or absent.

Comparing Estimates of Physical Activity from Two Accelerometer Locations and Direct Observation during Equine-Assisted Therapy in Neurodivergent Children
Creators: name: Parvizi, Pardis
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2024

Measuring physical activity (PA) in neurodivergent children during equine-assisted therapy (EAT) presents unique challenges. While accelerometers are commonly used to assess PA, their accuracy in this specific population and context remains unexplored. PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare PA estimates from wrist-worn and hip-worn accelerometers to direct observation during EAT sessions in neurodivergent children and adolescents. METHOD: Eight participants (mean age 8.7±2.2 years) wore ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers on the hip and non-dominant wrist during one-hour EAT sessions. Direct observation using the Movement Observation in Children and Adolescents (MOCA) system was also used to assess the participants’ PA and served as the criterion measure. Sedentary behavior, light PA (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) were assessed. Agreement between methods was evaluated using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, percent agreement, and Cohen's kappa. RESULTS: Both accelerometer locations significantly overestimated sedentary behavior and LPA while underestimating MVPA compared to direct observation (p<0.001). Overall agreement was poor between wrist and direct observation (kappa= -0.07), hip and direct observation (kappa= -0.04), and wrist and hip (kappa=0.25). Wrist accelerometer placement recorded less sedentary behavior (p<0.001) and more MVPA (p<0.001) compared to hip accelerometer placement. CONCLUSION: Current accelerometer algorithms demonstrated poor accuracy in measuring PA intensities during EAT in neurodivergent youth. Further research is needed to develop and validate PA measurement tools specifically for this population and setting. These findings highlight the importance of context-specific validation when assessing PA in unique therapeutic environments.

Identifying the Barriers and Facilitators of Physical Activity in Pre-Adolescent Boys of Color
Creators: name: Joseph, Timothy
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2024

Physical activity (PA) is essential for promoting overall health and well-being in children. However, there is a significant gap in research regarding the PA levels of pre-adolescent African American and Hispanic pre-adolescent boys (aged 7 to 12 years). This developmental stage is critical for establishing lifelong health behaviors, as children are particularly impressionable and responsive to environmental influences. Despite the known benefits of PA, limited research has been conducted to identify the barriers and facilitators that affect African American and Hispanic boys' ability to engage in adequate levels of PA. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the barriers and facilitators of PA among African American and Hispanic pre-adolescent boys, as well as to determine the components needed for an effective PA intervention. A total of three focus groups (one guardian focus group and two children focus groups) were conducted with eight guardian and son dyads. The first focus group took place during a parent night, where parents learned about the study, consented to have their sons participate in the study, and engaged in the focus group discussion. The subsequent two focus groups were scheduled specifically for the sons. After the focus groups were completed, the data were analyzed to identify barriers, facilitators, and components related to PA. Each focus group meeting was audio-taped and transcribed using Otter's automated transcription software (Otter Pro, Los Altos, CA). Two researchers simultaneously listened to the audio recordings while reviewing the transcripts to ensure accuracy and consistency. In cases of discrepancies, a third researcher reviewed the edits and the original transcripts to confirm data accuracy. Following the transcription process, the data were organized into categories: PA barriers, PA facilitators, and PA components. The study identified the main themes within each category. For barriers, guardians and sons noted environmental and personal determinants that hindered PA. As facilitators, guardians highlighted psychosocial factors and the importance of fun, while sons emphasized personal determinants, family support, and environmental influences. Regarding components for a PA intervention, guardians expressed the desire for organized sports and mentorship opportunities for their sons, while the sons requested afterschool programs that would allow for independence with adult supervision and the incorporation of homework tutoring as a reward for completing their assignments. Future studies should look into further exploring PA barriers and facilitators in a larger sample size with the ultimate aim of developing a PA intervention to help improve PA levels in African American and Hispanic pre-adolescent boys.

The species is very similar to H. grabia Wu & Park, described from Sri Lanka, but H. grabia (Fig. 6 c) can be distinguished by the longer hair-pencils on the mesopleura and a sharply pointed median process on ventral margin of valva.
Male genitalia (Figs. 6, 6 a–b). Also see Clarke (1965: pl. 47, figs. 3a–b). Basal lobes of uncus rather broad, roundly concave on caudal margin. Gnathos moderate. Valva slender; costa gently concave; distal half densely setose; ventral margin strongly sinuate with short spines along margin, with protrusion at lower corner. Juxta small, concave medially, with expansions latero-caudally, truncated at apices. Aedeagus as long as valva, narrowed towards apex; apex pointed on dorsal surface; cornuti consisting of a row of 7–10 larger denticles, a series of smaller ones, and numerous spicules.
Female genitalia (Fig. 9). Antrum small, cup-shaped, as wide as ductus bursae. Ductus bursae broadly inflated at middle, with many conical spines. Signum rhomboid, with a grove centrally.

description: This thesis contextualises and explores the reconceptualization of the myth of Eteokles and Polyneices in Greek, Latin and Italian tragedy, the literary genre that more than any other offers the opportunity to trace its progressive transformation across a series of relatively continuous and consistent phases. Within these limits, this study represents
the first comprehensive, systematic and detailed comparative analysis of the cultural development of this myth, charting the shaping of its key themes: war and rivalry, autochthony and patriotism, the connection between incest, parricide and fratricide, the effects of predestination/family curse, the clash between private and public interests, and the legitimate limits of power. By means of a close examination of the thesis’ main corpus (constituted by Aeschylus’ Seven against Thebes, Sophocles’ Antigone, Oedipus Tyrannos and Oedipus at Colonus, Euripides’ Phoenician Women, Seneca’s Oedipus and Phoenissae, Dolce’s Giocasta and Alfieri’s Polinice) this dissertation demonstrates that the brothers are not merely two stereotypical types whose characterisation as mortal enemies remains static and unvaried. Although their rivalry never stops, the meaning, dynamic and purpose of their struggle are progressively but profoundly transformed throughout the centuries. In particular, I argue that the martial component that initially defined this myth, admittedly
important throughout its legacy, is variously adapted to accommodate either a warning against the horrors of violence and subjugation, a cautionary appeal against overly aggressive foreign policy, a denunciation of the unbearable price of civil strife, or an aspiration to pacifism. In parallel, I analyse how the reflection on power and power struggle becomes increasingly predominant, eventually displacing the war theme as the main focus of this myth with a warning against the dangers of tyranny.

description: The present study attempted to examine the relationships among learned helplessness, masculinity, and attributions about success and failure. The Bern Sex Role Inventory was used to generate a masculinity score for 120 college women. Learned helplessness was induced by exposure to problems that had no solution. Subjects in the experimental conditions were asked to solve one, two, or three different types of problems, seventy-five percent of which were unsolvable. Subjects in the control condition were given three types of solvable problems. After each set of tasks, subjects completed an attributional questionnaire and were asked to rate how well they perceived they had done on the task just completed. The performance on two posttests was measured. No interaction between masculinity and learned helplessness on subsequent performance was obtained. No relationship among masculinity, learned helplessness, and attributions for success and failure emerged. The findings did, however, support the learned helplessness model in that exposure to unsolvable tasks was related to decreased levels of performance.

Self-narration, Prefrontal Cortex Functional Connectivity, and Psychopathology in Early Childhood Development
Creators: name: Gonzalez, Katie

Self-narration is the universal experience of talking to oneself mentally or verbally, in order to process and interpret the world. In response to emotional challenges, emotional self-narration is a crucial tool one uses to regulate and make sense of one’s emotions and the inability to successfully regulate and express one’s emotions is at the forefront of a myriad of disorders. While most of the literature examining self-narration has focused on adolescents and adults, little attention has been given to the development of this crucial skill, the neural networks that support it, and its relation to early symptoms of psychopathology, particularly in young children. The goal of the present study was to examine the relation between psychopathology symptoms and emotional self-narratives, as well as the interplay between simultaneous prefrontal cortex functional connectivity and emotional self-narration skill in preschool age children. Fifty-three children aged 3 to 5 completed two cartoon self-narration tasks while lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) data was recorded via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). fNIRS data was used to calculate lPFC functional connectivity and children’s responses were coded using criteria that examined emotional content and complexity within self-narratives. Early symptoms of psychopathology were examined using parent questionnaires. Children who expressed more emotional narratives had lower levels of psychopathology, while children who expressed less complex and emotionless narratives had higher levels of psychopathology and decreased lPFC functional connectivity. Our findings suggest that the link between self-narratives and psychopathology in early childhood may be a possible etiological factor in early psychopathology. Our findings also suggest that underlying neural mechanisms may indicate potential abnormal neural patterns that contribute to children’s difficulty in expressing emotional self-narrations.

Exploring the Genetic Basis of Amphotericin-b Resistance in the Fungal Pathogen Aspergillus Fumigatus using Mut-Seq
Creators: name: Ford, Cristina
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2024

Opportunistic fungal infections are a global health issue and pose a significant threat to individuals with compromised immune systems (1). Invasive aspergillosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that typically originates in the lungs and has mortality rates ranging from 30-95% (1-3). Aspergillus fumigatus is the primary cause of this disease, followed by Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus nidulans (4). The emergence of clinical resistance to azole antifungals, the first-line defense against invasive aspergillosis, in A. fumigatus over the past three decades has heightened the urgency of finding alternative treatments (5-9). Polyenes, like amphotericin B, are a second-line treatment against invasive aspergillosis when first-line treatments fail (10). Although clinical resistance to amphotericin B remains relatively rare, a concerning trend has risen from 2016 to 2020 (11).  Recent genetic analysis suggests multiple genes play a role in determining A. fumigatus sensitivity to amphotericin B (12). My research aims to identify genes associated with amphotericin B resistance by analyzing eight amphotericin B-resistant A. fumigatus Af293 mutants. This strain was selected for mutagenesis because it has a high- quality reference genome and it is highly susceptible to amphotericin-B. Mutants were generated through whole-genome mutagenesis using 4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO), screened against various amphotericin B concentrations (4 and 8 μg/ml) at 37°C for 48- 72 hours (13). Subsequently, the genomes of mutants with acquired resistance to amphotericin B were sequenced and analyzed. The findings revealed four genes, AFUA_1G03950 (erg5), AFUA_2G08060 (lah), AFUA_4G10210, and AFUA_8G06750, repeatedly mutated in different amphotericin B-resistant mutants. Previous studies suggest the involvement of some of these candidate genes in antifungal resistance and susceptibility. erg5 encodes sterol 22-desaturase enzyme which is involved in ergosterol biosynthesis, a sterol essential for plasma membrane structure and cellular functions (14). lah encodes a protein that bridges Woronin bodies to the cell wall, a response to damage or stress, and was identified in a genome-wide analysis to be associated with itraconazole and voriconazole resistance (15-16). AFUA_4G10210 orthologs are involved in phospholipid translocation within the plasma membrane (17). AFUA_8G06750 is involved in the synthesis of sterol glucoside plasma membrane lipids (17-18). Further experiments to create knockout mutants, overexpression mutants, or allele swap mutants utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing could shed light on the role of these promising candidate genes in amphotericin-B resistance.
