Mecopoda fallax

description: Mecopoda fallax He, 2019
Recordings: THAILAND: 3254538 (CI), Phetchabun, Nam Nao 1000 m a.s.l., 13 ix 1989, leg. S. Ingrisch (song and stridulatory organs). MALAYSIA: CHX066, MALAYSIA: Pahang, Krau Game Reserve (study area) bei Kuala Kerau, Kuala Lompat near Temerloh (3°43’N, 102°16’E), 28 iii–12 iv 1981, leg. K.-G. Heller & M. Volleth (song only). VIETNAM: one specimen from Vinh Phu, Hoa Binh and Gia Lai Provinces, leg. A. Gorochov; stridulatory file only.
The species was described from China (Liu Yf et al. 2019, Liu Cx et al. 2020), but is obviously more widespread.
The long lasting trilling song of M. fallax (Fig. 6) is composed of quite short song units (less than one second) which are repeated without intervals. Within these units regular changes in amplitude are observed (Fig. 7). The duration of one unit was 0.3–0.8 s in China (T=24–29ºC; Liu Yf et al. 2019, Liu Cx et al. 2020), 0.7 s in Thailand (T=21.5ºC) and 0.2 s in Malaysia (T=27ºC).
M. fallax has a long stridulatory file carrying about 110 teeth (Fig. 11 E). Concerning the inter-tooth distances, the file is relatively homogenous. The distances start anally around 40–50 µm, reach the maximum at about 60–70 µm and become smaller than 40 µm only very near to the articulation (Fig. 12).
It will be interesting to study the songs and the relationships between the two Vietnamese species M. prominens and M. ampla and the widespread M. fallax. All three have with quite similar files (Figs. 11–12) and occur in Vietnam.

description: As cyber threats evolve, Power Distribution Systems (PDS) face growing risks from sophisticated attacks like False Data Injection Attacks (FDIAs), which can disrupt system stability and reliability. This thesis presents a quantum-based approach using Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM) to detect and mitigate FDIAs in PDS. By leveraging quantum feature mapping, the QSVM model efficiently identifies subtle anomalies within high-dimensional data, enhancing the accuracy and speed of FDIA detection. The methodology includes the integration of an augmented Lagrangian function to further optimize detection performance. Validated using the IEEE-13 bus system, this QSVM framework showcases its potential as a robust, real-time detection tool for cybersecurity in smart grid infrastructures. The results underscore the promise of quantum computing in strengthening the resilience of critical energy systems.

Gripped by managerialism's claw: Power, policy, and resistance in the neoliberal university

description: Unveiling the complex apparatus of power and resistance within the university system, this thesis examines how institutional policies have transformed universities from bastions of scholarly pursuit into corporatised entities, driven by neoliberal ideologies. Modern universities now mirror business enterprises, with vice-chancellors resembling chief executive officers and an overarching focus on performance metrics over intellectual enrichment. This transformation has not only restructured governance but also deepened the policy-practice divide, igniting vigorous debates about the dominance of managerial logic at the expense of academic freedom and integrity. Organised by publication, this thesis integrates three peer-reviewed studies to dissect these transformations through both theoretical and empirical lenses, offering a critical examination of the underlying apparatus of power. They identify that policy has become a faith construct, a complex interplay of faith, hope and doubt as the academy navigates the dissonance forming misalignment of managerial and academic values expressed in policy. The nuanced power structures underpinning these tensions are revealed through a Foucauldian lens and the reflective, novel, arts-based collage methodology. Visualising the hidden apparatus of power reveals its obscured mechanisms within university governance. Intertwined with ethnographic observations, the profound influence of top-down leadership on the university’s policy and practice is highlighted through the world of puppetry. Study findings provide substantial insight into how institutional policies are co-opted by the ever present and ruthless presence of managerialism in the evolving discourse on university governance and highlight the chaotic calibration often inherent in contemporary leadership styles, drawing parallels between these structures and monarchies. Looking ahead, this thesis calls for a deeper empirical exploration into the often-obscured power structures within neoliberal universities, champions the expansion of innovative, arts-based research methodologies to examine complex phenomena such as power and resistance and places a challenge for the academy to influence a return to scholarly and educational missions.

Mecopoda confracta

description: Subgroup confracta Liu, 2020
According to Liu Cx et al. (2020), the species of this group „have mediate-width long tegmina, comparatively short files and the narrowest mirror. The file is widest in basal quarter, from which teeth are gradually narrower toward both ends. The songs are discontinuous and each song unit consists of numerous simple syllables“. The authors included the two newly described species Mecopoda confracta and M. synconfracta sp. n. (China), but listed also Mecopoda _“S” (Malaysia) with song and file data and Mecopoda _ “N” (Bali) (Sismondo 1990) as group members. In addition and based on file structure, they added an unidentified Mecopoda species from Vietnam and an otherwise undescribed ‚ Mecopoda elongata‘ from India. From song structure also the „chirper“ in Nityananda & Balakrishnan (2006) belongs to the group. In our material specimens with a ratio larger than 1.5 (length/width of mirror area) always belonged to the confracta subgroup.
Among this material there are at least three forms which differ clearly in song pattern from the previously described ones and from each other. Their songs differ mainly in three parameters, in echeme repetition rate (echeme period), in syllable repetition rate (syllable period) and in the number of syllables per echeme. For comparison, we present also data on the song of the Chinese species M. confracta (Tab. 4).
Concerning the structure of the stridulatory file,all species of the subgroup are relatively similar(Figs.11H–K, 12).

Spinaephyes

description: Spinaephyes n. gen.
Generic diagnosis. Body fusiform. Prodorsal shield with conspicuous frontal lobe and with large spines on posterolateral margins; prodorsal tubercles with scapular setae sc ahead of rear shield margin and directed anteriorly. Dorsal annuli 2, 5, 7, 9 and 11 with large spines laterally. All coxal setae present. Paraxial tibial seta lʹ on leg I absent; antaxial genual setae lʺ on leg II absent. Tarsal empodium em entire with broad base. Epigynium with longitudinal scorings. Internal genitalia with anterior apodeme slightly curved.
Type species. Spinaephyes alnus n. sp.
Species included. Spinaephyes alnus n. sp.
Etymology. The generic name Spinaephyes is masculine and is derived from the Latin word ‘ spina ’ meaning ‘thorn’and ‘ phyes ’means ‘grower’ (maker) referring to the spines present on the posterior lateral margins of the prodorsal shield.
Differential diagnosis. Among the Tegonotini genera, this genus is very close to Spinaetergum Hong and Kuang, 1989 and Wanleelagus Chandrapatya and Boczek, 1997 in having very broad opithosomal tergites with lateral spines. Spinaephyes differs from Spinaetergum by the absence of paraxial tibial seta lʹ on leg I and antaxial genual seta lʺ on leg II. Spinaephyes differs from Wanleelagus by the number and location of spines on the dorsal annuli. In the later genus large spines are present only on the first six dorsal annuli whereas in Spinaephyes these are present on the second, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh dorsal annuli. Besides, in Wanleelagus scapular seta with tubercles are present on the rear shield margin whereas in Spinaephyes these setae are ahead of the rear shield margin.

For comparison, we present oscillograms of the song of this Chinese species (Figs. 8, 9) in the same scale as the other species. The recorded male typically started to sing with isolated echemes, changed to a slow and irregular rhythm and switched (Fig. 8) to the species-specific fast echeme repetition rate only after some minutes. For detailed data of the song of the species see Liu Cx et al. (2020).

Eremomyrme Suárez 1965b: 51, type species Mutilla incerta Radoszkowski 1877, currently synonym of Ephutomma turcestanica (Dalla Torre 1897), by original designation. Synonymized by Lelej & Kabakov 1980: 193.
Fifteen species of Ephutomma occur in the Palaearctic and two (including this new one) occur in the Oriental region (Lelej 2002, 2005). The second Oriental species E. fletcheri (Turner 1911) occurs in Sri Lanka, and is only known from the female (Lelej 2005). The genus is recorded for the first time from Pakistan and Nepal, and the single species discovered there is described below as new. The genus Ephutomma is placed in the subfamily Mutillinae, tribe Smicromyrmini.

Diagnosis — Cercomegistoid vitzthumegistid mite. Anterior end of dorsal shield with a pair of distinctly long i1 (= j1) setae (see Vitzthum, 1928: 195, Fig. 3). Dorso-lateral (marginal) setae long, close to length of genua. Ventrianal shield wide, almost covers venter. Fused metapodal-endopodalexopodal-peritrematal shields element fused with ventrianal shield posteriorly.
Type series — Syntype: Two males (slide number: V1207, V1208; each mounted on a thin square cover slip). ex. Coenobita sp. (Paguroidea: Coenobitidae); Coll. Fulmek (Leopold Fulmek, 9 November, 1883 – 17 June, 1969), August, 1925. Type specimens located in Hermann Graf Vitzthum collection, Zoologische Staatssammlung (ZSM), München, Germany.
Type locality — INDONESIA: Northeast coast of Sumatra Island, Beach of Perbaungan.
Remarks — The Vitzthum Collection in Zoologische Staatssammlung (ZSM) has two additional microscope slides (slide number: V1214, V1215), which carry the mite specimens from Coenobita sp. collected by Johannes Carolus van der Meer Mohr (1892-1969) in March, 1933 at the same type locality (Beach of Perbaungan) in Sumatra Island. Slide V1214, in poor condition, contains three female specimens mounted together on a thin square cover slip, and slide V1215 carries a single male mounted on a thin square cover slip. Slide V1215 lacks gnathosoma, anterior dorsum, and legs I; and through the V1214, I was able to confirm the presence of three-tined palptarsal claws and polyramous hs1 setae. However, these four specimens in V1214 and V1215 slides were not included in the original description of Vitzthum (1928), and cannot be treated as name-bearing types. For the minimal change of name, I followed the same specific epithet, andrei, that Kethley (1977: 139) proposed in honor of Marc AndrØ (10 February, 1900 – 28 May, 1966). Immatures and biology are unknown.

Holotype male CH7843, SRI LANKA: Mihintale (8°21’N, 80°31’E), 100 m, 4 iii 2014, leg. K.-G. Heller. MfN. Song, stridulatory organs and chromosomes studied.
Diagnosis. The calling song of the species does not consist of a homogenous sequence of echemes as in all other known species of the group, but the very short echemes are grouped in small series of three echemes separated from the next series by a larger interval (Fig. 8, 9).
Description. Morphologically no difference to other species of the M. confracta subgroup (Liu et al. 2020).
Measurements (in mm): pronotum length 8; tegmen length 56; tegmen width 13.5; hind femora length 43.
Chromosomes: 2n = 29, FN = 52; pairs 1, 4 and 6–14 metacentric, 2, 3 and 5 acrocentric, X chromosome metacentric (Fig. 15).
Derivatio nominis. Name remembering to the Indian monk Mahinda who arrived in Mihintale, the type locality, according to religious myths traveling through the air, founding Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The insect was found on the stupa which was built to celebrate this event. Substantive in genitive.
