description: “ Alcyonium bursa L. Syst. Nat. ed. 10, 1: 803. 1758
[= Webberella bursa (L.): Porifera]— Type status unknown.
Note. Alcyonium bursa is the basionym for a sponge (M. Spencer-Jones, pers. comm.). The sole known extant original material, an illustration in Ellis (1755: t.17,f. B,C & D.), represents a form of polyp-forming animal. However, Alcyonium bursa has also, though erroneously, been treated by phycologists as the basionym for the green alga Codium bursa; the correct authorship for the latter name is C. bursa (Olivi) C.Agardh (Brodie et al., 2007: 190).”
This statement contains several clear errors and we believe it is scientifically and nomenclaturally incorrect. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that Linnaeus’ Alcyonium bursa is not the basionym of any sponge known to us.

Remarks. Reports for Isohypsibius augusti are included here as there has been major taxonomic confusion between the original description as Macrobiotus augusti (Murray 1907), which was transferred to Isohypsibius by Thulin (1928) and a re-description from non-type material by Marcus (1936), leaving all augusti records split between Pseudobiotus and Thulinius (see: Bertolani et al. 1999, Marley et al. 2008). While Murray’s (1907e) augusti is now Thulinius, the Kenyan references are associated with megalonyx (Marcus 1935) (now Pseudobiotus), or have either no description or no figures (Haspeslagh 1982, De Smet & Bafort 1990). The Moroccan report only indicated a Pseudobiotus sp. (Ramløv & Kristensen 1985). Re-examination of all the African samples is required to confirm which taxa are present.

Two louse species were found on this host:
Myrsidea sp. 3
Material studied. 2 females, 13 nymphs ex Tachyphonus delatrii, COSTA RICA: Barbilla NP, Provincia Limỏn (9°59’N, 85°27’W), 5–6 September 2004, Literák, Č apek & Havlίček coll. Deposited in INBio – O. Sychra CR70.
Remarks. Myrsidea sp. 3 from T. delatrii is closest to those of M. spizae and M. mitrospingi Price & Dalgleish, 2006. Price & Dalgleish (2006: 21) described M. mitrospingi based on a single female, and M. spizae from three females and two males. Although we have two females of Myrsidea sp. 3 collected from one host individual, we believe that, at present, it is unwise to name yet another new species. Further collections of Myrsidea from both the type hosts of M. spizae and M. mitrospingi as well as from Tachyphonus delatrii are needed to study further the intra-specific and inter-specific variation of these lice. Such study may show whether the differences between these species lie within the range of variability of M. spizae or M. mitrospingi, or lie outside such ranges, thus confirming Myrsidea sp. 3 as a different new species. Four of 22 birds examined were parasitised by Myrsidea sp. 3. This is the first record of chewing lice from Tachyphonus delatrii.

description: Automation is another essential aspect since more and more/this field is steadily growing to consider cloud computing as the backbone of the contemporary world. Cloud infrastructure automation consequently assures fast adaption to sophisticated demands through efficient resource management and well-coordinated processes. This paper seeks to define and discuss the emerging trends in cloud infrastructure automation based on flexibility needed in a cloud setup. Automated solutions require less interaction with people through methods that provide provisions, configurations and management of service that help to ensure high availability and less operational expense. The paper focuses on serverless architectures and the use of the FaaS and IaaS hybrid approach, where the primary concern is the efficient communication between the two models. It talks about new challenges arising from the use of multiple cloud configurations and requires new forms of management including Kubernetes and Terraform. It brings hope of predictive and self-healing systems where AI and ML dominate automation, turning the management of the cloud into more automation than ever before. This paper offers a clear understanding of all forms of automating cloud infrastructure, includingIaC, configuration management, continuous integration/continuous deployment, and containerisation. Thus, by analysing these technologies’ impact on efficiency and reliability, this study provides a comprehensive reference for companies interested in transitioning toward and managing cloud automation systems.

description: Family Nephtyidae Grube, 1850
Nephtyidae Grube, 1850: 249 –364.— Fauchald 1977: 96 –97; Ravara et al. 2010b: 5.
Diagnosis. Elongate compact bodies with an eversible pharynx. Prostomium with a pair of palps, antennae present or absent, nuchal organs present at base of prostomium. Pharynx with terminal papillae, longitudinal rows of subterminal papillae present or absent, proximal surface may be smooth or covered with small verrucae, subterminal jaws present.
Parapodia biramous, typically with well separated rami, with acicular, pre- and postchaetal lobes, and ventral and dorsal cirrus. Chaetae simple, often barred or spinose, lyrate chaetae present or absent, aciculae thick. Branchiae, when present, typically on the ventral margin of notopodia below dorsal cirrus occupying interramal space, and may be involute, straight or recurved. Terminal anus with single cirrus.
Remarks. The above definition is based on the description of the family given by Ravara et al. (2010b). A combination of characters are used to distinguish between genera: the presence or absence of antennae, palps single or bifid, the shape of the nuchal organs or pits, the presence or absence of pharyngeal papillae, the number of pharyngeal jaws, the presence or absence of branchiae, the curvature of the branchiae, the degree of development of parapodial lobes, the shape of the acicular lobes, and the form of the preacicular chaetae (Ravara et al. 2010a, Dnestrovskaya 2013). Species characters include the shape of the branchiae, the chaetiger corresponding to the beginning of the branchiae along the body, the number of pairs of branchiae, the number of rows of subterminal pharyngeal papillae, the number of pharyngeal papillae in each subterminal row, presence or absence of elongate middorsal and midventral papilla, presence or absence of pharyngeal verrucae, the presence of serrated and/or spinose chaetae, the presence or absence of lyrate chaetae (previously reported as a generic character by Dnestrovskaya 2013), lyrate chaetal shape, the shape of the dorsal and ventral cirri, and the shape of the distal end of the aciculae. The use of prostomium shape proposed by Ohwada (1985) has subsequently been dismissed as a useful character by various authors due to the highly “plastic” nature of the soft-tissue of the prostomium, as shape has been observed to depend on the extent of the eversion of the pharynx as well as the form and degree of fixation (Dnestrovskaya 2013; Dixon-Bridges et al. 2014). We have followed the chaetal terminology of Dnestrovkaya & Jirkov (2010, 2011) who recognise four main types: capillary, barred, chaetae with spines (spinose and/or serrated) and lyrate.

description: Cybersecurity threats are evolving at an unprecedented rate, demanding innovative approaches that go beyond conventional defensive mechanisms. This paper introduces Buddhist AI, a novel cybersecurity framework integrating Buddhist philosophy with artificial intelligence to promote mindful threat detection, ethical responsibility, and digital harmony. This approach fosters a balanced, ethical, and proactive cybersecurity model by drawing upon the Buddhist principles of mindfulness, awareness, ethical responsibility, and interconnectedness. Unlike traditional systems that rely on reactionary defenses, Buddhist AI focuses on continuous awareness, ethical hacking, cybersecurity karma, and usability-conscious security. The paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of this approach, its practical applications, and its potential contributions to society, AI ethics, and cybersecurity resilience.

description: Genus Aglaophamus Kinberg, 1866 (sensu Hartman, 1950) emended
Aglaophamus.— Fauchald 1977: 97; Rainer & Kaly 1988: 686; Ravara et al. 2010a: 402; Ravara et al. 2010b: 7.
Type-species. Aglaophamus lyratus Kinberg, 1866, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Antennae and palps present. Pharynx with variable number of subterminal papillae in 14–22 longitudinal rows, elongate subdistal middorsal papillae present or absent, proximal region of pharynx smooth or with verrucae. Branchiae present, involute or recurved. Lyrate chaetae present or absent. Barred chaetae present. Acicular lobes acutely pointed, aciculae curved at tip.
Remarks. The presence of verrucae is noted for some Aglaophamus species, including A. australiensis (Fauchald, 1965) recently transferred by Ravara et al. (2010a), and the species reported herein. Also included in the emended diagnosis is the presence of an elongate subdistal pharyngeal papilla in some Aglaophamus species, erroneously stated as absent for the genus in the diagnosis given by Ravara et al. (2010b) (Ravara, pers. comm.). Currently, the only diagnostic differences between the genera Aglaophamus and Nephtys are the shape of the acicular lobe—acutely pointed in the former, and conical, rounded or bilobed in the latter—and the absence of lyrate chaetae in Nephtys, though they may be present or absent in Aglaophamus. The recent inclusion of presence of lyrate chaetae in the generic diagnosis for Nephtys by Dixon-Bridges et al. (2014), is an error (Hutchings, pers. obs., see also Remarks under Nephtys generic diagnosis herein), and thus the presence of lyrate chaetae also distinguishes Aglaophamus spp. from Nephtys spp.

description: Genus Nephtys Cuvier, 1817 (sensu Hartman, 1959)
Nephtys Cuvier, 1817: 173.
Nephtys.— Hartman 1950: 89; 1959: 282; Ravara et al. 2010b: 30; Dixon-Bridges et al. 2014: 521. Dentinephtys Imajima & Takeda, 1987: 43.— Ravara et al. 2010a: 402.
Type-species. Nephtys hombergii Savigny in Lamarck, 1818, subsequent designation by Hartman (1959).
Diagnosis. The genus Nephtys currently includes species with conical, rounded or bilobed acicular lobes and well developed parapodial lobes. Pair of antennae and palps present. Pharynx usually with rows of less than 10 subterminal papillae (usually up to 5–7); elongate middorsal papilla present or absent; proximal region smooth or covered with small verrucae. Branchiae recurved. Lyrate chaetae absent. Aciculae of median and posterior parapodia with curved tips. Jaws conical, hook-like. Nuchal organs round.
Remarks. Dixon-Bridges et al. (2014) modified the generic diagnosis to include the presence of lyrate chaetae, but this is now ascertained to be an error (Hutchings, pers. obs.). The conical shape of the acicular lobes appears to be the only morphological character that now distinguishes Nephtys from Aglaophamus, which has acutely pointed acicular lobes, and as this character would seem to be subject to interpretation, and may even depend on the state or type of preservation, it is obvious that a revision of the characters used to define nephtyid genera is required. However, this is beyond the scope of the present study.
