Sergentia

description: Sergentia Kieffer (Fig. 91)
Head capsule large, yellow. Antenna 5-segmented, premandible with 2–4 teeth. All mandibular teeth dull brown. One relatively short dorsal tooth and 4 inner teeth present. Mentum with 4 large, separated, equally broad and slightly elevated median teeth, central pair slightly lower than outer one, and with 6 pairs lateral teeth. Ventromental plates as wide as mentum, moderately curved and continuously striated, in S. coracina - type, however, with obvious paired striations along anterior margin.
Remarks: Sergentia is closely related to Phaenopsectra and the shape of mentum appearing as separated in three sections resembles some other genera (see remarks to Phaenopsectra). Sergentia may be recognized by the usual 4 inner mandibular teeth, 4 subequal median mental teeth, not reduced outermost lateral teeth, and paired striations conspicuous along anterior margin in S. coracina - type.
One species, Sergentia coracina (Zetterstedt, 1850), is documented from a few of the Tatra Mts. lakes, all situ-ated in sub-alpine zone (Bitušík 2004).
The morphotype recognised was found in one lake only.

ROLE OF SACCO SAVINGS PROGRAMS IN ENCOURAGING BUSINESS EXPANSION: LINKING SAVINGS TO SCALING BUSINESSES
Creators: name: 1 Mensah Kwame, 2Mbonigaba Celestin, 3Olivia Martinez & 4Youssef Mansouri
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: This study investigates the role of Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) in fostering business expansion in Rwanda, focusing on the link between structured savings programs and business scalability up to 2015. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating quantitative data from SACCO members across diverse regions and qualitative insights from interviews with stakeholders. Statistical analyses revealed a strong positive correlation between SACCO savings and access to credit (r=0.78, p<0.01), with SACCO members exhibiting significantly higher business growth rates (68%) compared to non-members (32%). Over the study period, SACCOs achieved a fivefold increase in savings, reduced loan default rates from 15% to 5%, and contributed 4.5% to Rwanda’s GDP by 2015. These findings underscore SACCOs' critical role in driving entrepreneurial success and economic growth. The study concludes that enhanced financial literacy, tailored credit products, and technological integration are pivotal for maximizing SACCOs' impact. Recommendations include policy support and capacity building to optimize SACCO operations for inclusive development.

Year: 2015

description: The study investigates the impact of SACCO networking and mentorship programs on entrepreneurial success in Rwanda. Using qualitative methods, data were gathered through interviews and focus groups with 50 entrepreneurs, supplemented by case studies of SACCO programs. The findings reveal that peer learning significantly enhances decision-making (χ² = 28.5, p < 0.01), mentorship improves resource access (R² = 0.67, p < 0.01), and combined networking and mentorship lead to the highest success rates (F(2, 47) = 15.3, p < 0.01). Conclusions highlight SACCOs’ roles in fostering sustainable ventures despite challenges like limited mentorship and gender disparities. Recommendations include formalizing mentorship programs, promoting gender inclusion, expanding market linkages, and enhancing financial literacy.

Year: 2015

description: The study investigates the impact of governance in Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) on fostering entrepreneurial activities in Rwanda. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from SACCO members and stakeholders through structured surveys and interviews, supported by secondary data analysis. Key findings reveal that robust governance structures, including active General Assemblies and Boards of Directors, are strongly associated with entrepreneurial success (χ²=56.34, p<0.01). Effective management practices, such as financial management and entrepreneurial training, also significantly contribute to sustainability (R²=0.74, p<0.01). However, challenges like limited funding (OR=3.5, p<0.01) and a lack of skilled staff (OR=2.8, p<0.05) impede optimal performance. The study concludes that addressing resource constraints and enhancing governance frameworks are essential for improving SACCOs' role in Rwanda's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Recommendations include capacity building, expanding funding accessibility, and sector-specific support.

description: Stictochironomus type B (Fig. 92)
Our morphotype does not suit Stictochironomus type B described in Brooks et al. (2007) entirely, since our type has partly overlapping central median teeth (as opposed to separated in Brooks et al. 2007). However, we had limited amount of remains and this feature may be the consequence of their inferior condition.

description: In der Ästhetikforschung ist es von Wichtigkeit, das ästhetische Empfinden anhand objektiver Kriterien erfassen zu können. Die vorliegende Untersuchung stellt den Versuch dar, dies zu verwirklichen mit dem zusätzlichen Ansatzpunkt, diese Kriterien hinsichtlich kunstinteressierten und weniger kunstinteressierten Personen zu vergleichen. Die Teilnehmer der Untersuchung umfassten 27 Berufsschüler der Max-Weber-Schule, die uns als weniger Kunstinteressierte dienten, und aus 29 Kunststudentinnen der Pädagogischen Hochschule. Die Versuchsdurchführung erfolgte an der Berufsschule im Februar und an der Padagogischen Hochschule Ende Juni 2002. Als Kriterien dienen dabei die Konstrukte "Komplexitätspräferenz", "Proportionspräferenz" und "ästhetische Sensitivität", sowie als weitere Variablen "Farbpräferenz", "Kunstinteresse" und einige Persönlichkeitsmerkmale, die in Bezug zu diesem ästhetischen Empfinden gesetzt werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass kein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen diesen genannten Personengruppen besteht, mit Ausnahme der Komplexitätstpräferenz, so dass kunstinteressierte Personen weniger komplexe Bilder präferieren. Auch lässt sich ein Zusammenhang zwischen Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen und ästhetischem Empfinden nicht feststellen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Besuchs in einem Museum ist jedoch vorhersagbar durch zwei Variablen, zum einen durch ein hohes Kunstinteresse und zum anderen durch einen hohen Testwert in einem der Fragebögen, der das Konstrukt "Sensation Seeking" misst.

description: This study examines the strategic partnerships between Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) and development agencies in Rwanda, aiming to enhance entrepreneurship through collaborative funding mechanisms. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combined surveys and in-depth interviews with quantitative data analysis. Key findings reveal that SACCOs provided 62% of the total funding from 2010 to 2015, predominantly supporting agriculture (58% allocation in 2015, p<0.01). Job creation and business growth rates increased significantly, with an overall growth rate rising from 12% in 2010 to 22% in 2015 (χ2=24.76,p<0.05). High loan repayment rates (SACCOs: 92%; Development Agencies: 88%) highlighted financial sustainability, while logistic regression showed a 3.2 times greater success likelihood when joint planning meetings were implemented (p<0.05). The study concludes that structured collaborations enhance funding access, entrepreneurial success, and economic development, recommending stronger frameworks, diversified funding, and enhanced capacity-building programs.

Diagnosis
Differs from the only congener E. sifnium gen. et sp. nov. by the apical margin of the promere being concave, the opisthomere not compressed meso-laterad, e.g., the lateral process (lp on Fig. 4 A-D) parallel to the promere, the lateral process (lp) much broader and the apical posterior process (app) broader and blunter.
Material examined
GREECE: 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀, Antiparos Island, litière [litter], 22 Dec. 1982, leg. P. Beron & St. Andreev, det. Mauriès 1983 (NMNHS); 1 ♂, Sporadhes, Anatoliko Mauri [east Mavri Islet] (Levitha Islands), 18.i.1990 [18 Jan. 1990], S. Sfendourakis leg., ex coll. M. Karamaouna (ZMUC).
Remarks
Male body length 16.9-17.9 mm; height 1-1.2 mm; body ring number: 39-41 podous rings + 2-3 apodous rings + telson; number of ocelli: right side: 30-38, left side: 32-38; developmental stadium IX-X with
8-9 rows of ocelli. Female body length 13.4-18.3 mm; height 1-1.3 mm; body ring number: 37-41 podous rings + 3-5 apodous rings + telson; developmental stadium VIII-IX with 7-8 rows of ocelli.
This species was described on the basis of two males and four females and has only been found once since its description, viz., by Mauriès & Karamaouna (1984) from Antiparos. The new specimens from east Mavri belong to the collection of Karamaouna, but they are slightly different: the apical posterior process (app) of the solenomere is not bifurcated, but undivided and slightly serrated (serration visible in posterior view) (Fig. 4A, C-D).
Distribution
Greece: Cyclades: Naxos Island (type locality), Antiparos Island (Mauriès & Karamaouna 1984); Dodecanese Islands: east Mavri Islet.

description: This research explores cultural attitudes toward SACCO membership and entrepreneurship in Rwanda, aiming to understand societal perceptions and their influence on financial and entrepreneurial engagement. Using qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and focus groups, the study identified key cultural norms shaping economic behavior. Findings revealed significant correlations between SACCO membership and entrepreneurial success (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), with educational attainment positively influencing participation (χ² = 25.89, p < 0.001). Logistic regression highlighted fear of failure (OR = 0.45, p < 0.05) and preference for government jobs (OR = 0.39, p < 0.01) as barriers, while community encouragement (OR = 2.3, p < 0.01) supported engagement. The study concludes that targeted educational programs, gender-inclusive initiatives, and culturally sensitive policies are essential for enhancing financial inclusion and entrepreneurship. Recommendations emphasize fostering community-driven projects, reducing cultural stigmas, and empowering youth to drive economic growth.

Tanytarsus

description: Tanytarsus van der Wulp (Fig. 103–108)
Head capsules yellow to brownish with dark brown to black occipital margin. Occipital plate present, well developed. Antenna placed on tall pedestal (2–3 times as long as broad), usually without distal tooth or spur (if present, it is of different shape as in Micropsectra, see Brooks et al. 2007). Lauterborn organs usually on long pedicels. Premandible with 3 (usually) to 5 apical teeth. Mandible with 2–3 inner teeth, 1–2 dorsal teeth and in some species/ morphotypes 1–2 surficial teeth may be present additionally. Mentum with a single rounded or laterally notched median tooth and 5 pairs of lateral teeth. Ventromental plates narrowly separated medially, long, narrow and fine striated.
Remarks: As mentioned above, there are considerable difficulties to distinguish head capsules of Tanytarsus from Micropsectra and, to a lesser extent, from Paratanytarsus (see comments to Micropsectra and Paratanytarsus).
Five Tanytarsus species were confirmed in the Tatra Mts. lakes: Tanytarsus bathophilus Kieffer, 1911, T. gibbosiceps Kieffer, 1922, T. gregarius Kieffer, 1909, T. nemorosus Edwards, 1929 and T. pallidicornis (Walker, 1856) (Bitušík et al. 2006a; Giłka 2007).
Three morphotypes were distinguished following Brooks et al. (2007).

description: This study investigates the long-term impact of Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization (SACCO) loans on business sustainability and growth trajectories in Rwanda. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined longitudinal data analysis from 300 SACCO-funded businesses and thematic insights from 30 in-depth interviews. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in business survival rates from 55% to 73% over five years (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation (r = 0.82, p < 0.01) and regression analysis (β = 0.75, p < 0.01) revealed that effective loan utilization, particularly for capital investments, significantly boosted business revenue. Key determinants of sustainability included higher loan amounts (OR = 3.5, CI: 2.1–5.8), diversification (OR = 2.8, CI: 1.9–4.3), and strong repayment rates (OR = 4.2, CI: 3.0–6.5). These findings highlight the critical role of SACCO loans in fostering economic growth and offer actionable recommendations: increasing loan accessibility, enhancing financial literacy, and incentivizing prompt repayment.

O estudo das minhocas foi considerado um pontofora da curva na vida de um pesquisador que se dedicou a grandes questões, como aorigem de novas espécies e a ancestralidade do ser humano. Neste ensaio tentareimostrar que “Worms” não é um livro desprendido do restante das obras de Darwin, esim peça importante para compreender o pensamento do famoso naturalista.

description: Ultrafast laser lift-off is an important step in manufacturing flexible electronic display devices. To improve the picosecond laser lift-off transfer quality of micro light emitting diodes (micro-LEDs), the response surface methodology (RSM) is employed for the optimization of multiple laser processing parameters, including laser power, scanning speed, spot diameter, and scanning distance. Transfer yield and residual stress are chosen as the performance evaluation metrics, as well as the lifted-off device element composition and transfer quality under different process parameters are characterized. The optimized maximum transfer yield is 95.84% and the minimum residual tensile stress is 0.589 GPa, which is less than 0.5% prediction error of the optimum transfer yield (95.67–95.74%) and residual stress (0.588–0.592 GPa) for ultrafast laser lift-off of micro-LEDs based on the central composite design of RSM, indicating the reliable guidance ability of this model. It develops a new way for quality improvement of the ultrafast laser lift-off process for micro-LEDs.

(Figs. 1–5, 11–20).
First instar larva (characters defining the tribe are not repeated here) (Figs. 2–5, 11–20).
Maximum dimensions: Body length 3.46 mm; head width 0.63 mm. Body of typical shape; coloration pale yellow when alive (body coloration turning white after preservation in ethanol). Head with a characteristic sculpture pattern, of round tubercles grouped in stripes between setae, on frons and epicranial halves (Fig. 2). Frons with 13 setae, spatulate papillate in shape. Labrum incised on anterior margin, without distinct lobes. Epipharyngeal sensilla in clusters of 3 (anterior) and 2 (posterior). Maxillary galea with row of 5 dorsal setae plus 2 setae at base.
Egg and first larval case (Fig. 5) ovoid, yellow, without fecal plates, covered with a bright, transparent, secretion.
Material examined. Three first instar larvae (two slide-mounted) from eggs deposited by adults collected in ARGENTINA: Catamarca Province, between Esquiú and Ramblones (Lat. - 29.288054; Long. - 65.367721), 3 March 2006, feeding on leaves of Prosopis sp., F. A. Agrain, S. Roig and T. Erwin coll. (IADIZA). A total of 34 adults (both sexes) were collected by hand, from host plant foliage; some females laid eggs, together producing seven eggs soon after capture, and although eggs were later contaminated by fungi, three first instar larvae successfully hatched after six days.
Remarks. The lack of egg fecal coating by the female of Megalostomis (Heterostomis) lacordairei cannot be due to inadequate nourishment, as has been suggested for Clytra quadripunctata by Rosenbauer 1852, since oviposition occurred within a few minutes after females were captured, and thus they were naturally fed (there were abundant fresh leaves available in the collecting site, and plant material was found in the digestive system of dissected females).

This is a new morphotype, not listed in Brooks et al. (2007).
Mandible with robust, blunt apical tooth, 2 inner teeth and 1 dorsal tooth, all brown; obvious hump present on the outer margin. Mentum strongly arched, with a tall and slender apical tooth and 5 lateral teeth, 1 to 4 subequal in size, outermost minute. Due to more structures, this morphotype was not associated to a certain genus, but its appearance indicates that it could be close to Neozavrelia, Paratanytarsus or Sublettea. The morphotype was present only in one lake.

(Figs. 6–10, 21–30)
First instar larva (characters defining the tribe are not repeated here) (Figs. 7–10, 21–30).
Maximum dimensions. Body length 1.56 mm; Head width 0.33 mm.
Head with a characteristic sculpture pattern, of round tubercles evenly distributed between setae, on frons and epicranial halves (Fig. 7). Frons with 6 setae, spatulate papillate in shape. Labrum sinuate on anterior margin, without 3 distinct lobes. Epipharyngeal sensilla clustered anteriorly in a row. Maxillary galea with row of 4 dorsal setae plus 2 setae at base. Sides of prementum protrudent and with microtrichae.
Egg and first larval case (Fig. 10) brown, fecal plates forming a regular sculptured pattern of subhexagonal shapes, ending posteriorly in elongated plates.
Material examined. Three first instar larvae (two slide-mounted) from eggs deposited by adults collected in ARGENTINA: Mendoza Province, Cdad. Mendoza, Parque Gral. San Martín (Lat. -32.893142; Long. - 68.890388), December 2002, feeding on leaves of Prosopis chilensis, A. E. Marvaldi coll. (IADIZA). A total of four adults were collected by hand, from the host plant foliage.
Remarks. The egg-case of C. argentina is similar in aspect to that of C. dominicana, documented by Riley (1874) and reproduced by Erber (1988: Fig. 16.5), but the latter has an egg stalk or pedunculus.

— [[male]]? (Stanleyi n. sp.?). — Je rapporte avec doute au D. Emeryi un [[male]] qui differe comme suit du nigricans:
Long. 28 a 30 mill. Tete large de 4,8, thorax de 6,6, abdomen de 6,4 mill, (chez le nigricans, tete large de 5, thorax de 6, abdomen de 5,6 mill.). Vertex presque plat, a peine convexe devant d'un oe il a l'autre. Aretes frontales moins proeminentes; l'espace qui les separe moins concave; toute la tete plus deprimee; les yeux distinctement plus petits. Face basale de l'epinotum (1) plus longue, surtout au milieu. N oe ud du pedicule plus large. L'abdomen est un peu elargi (renfle) vers son tiers posterieur, mais moins que chez les Rhogmus. Pattes bien plus courtes que chez le nigricans. Ailes brunes, bien plus fonces que chez le nigricans. La pubescence du thorax est moins appliquee, moins soyeuse et plus laineuse que chez le nigricans, ce qui lui donne un aspect de chapeau de feutre brun gris. Du reste comme le nigricans.
Katanga (Lemaire); Mawambi. — Ce male plus. massif semble devoir correspondre a l´ Emeryi dont l'ouvriere est aussi plus massive, a les pattes plus courtes et habite les memes parages. Pour eviter neanmoins les imbroglios qui resultent d'identifications presumees, consacrant souvent ensuite des erreurs, je lui donne provisoirement le nom de Stanleyi n. sp.

Epistome biechancre, a peine avance au milieu, un peu deprime devant, au milieu, subcarene derriere (faiblement). Aire frontale tres petite; aretes frontales fortement divergentes, sinueuses. Tete en trapeze, a peine plus longue que large, elargie et largement echancree derriere, a cotes assez convexes. Yeux en avant du tiers posterieur. Les scapes depassent a peine le bord occipital (de moins de leur epaisseur). Articles du funicule un peu plus longs qu'epais. Thorax assez court, mediocrement convexe en tout sens, sans echancrure; neammoins derriere la suture mesoepinotale, la face basale de l'epinotum se releve legerement. Cette face basale est subdeprimee, subbordee, rectangulaire, 1 2 / 3 fois plus longue que large, de meme longueur que la face declive, a laquelle elle passe par une courbe. Ecaille biconvexe, arrondie et tranchante a son bord superieur, d'epaisseur moyenne. Pattes assez courtes; tibias cylindriques, sans piquants.
Luisant, tres finement et faiblement chagrine. Ponctuation piligere eparse tres distincte, surtout sur le front ou les points sont assez gros. Mais il n'y a aucune grosse fossette sur les joues, ni sur le devant de la tete, rien qui rappelle le C. foraminosus Forel. Une pilosite dressee d'un jaune rougatre, abondante ou du moins assez abondante sur tout le corps. Sur les tibias et les scapes, cette pilosite devient plus courte et oblique, mais elle y est abondante et fort apparente.
Brun ou d'un brun jaunatre. Funicules, mandibules et pattes d'un rouge ou d'un jaune brunatre (selon les exemplaires).
[[worker]] minor. Tout a fait semblable a la grande ouvriere; 5 dents aux mandibules; epistome plus carene derriere. La tete est tout aussi trapeziforme, elargie derriere, seulement un peu plus longue que large, mais ses cotes sont moins convexes et son bord posterieur a peine concave, presque droit. Face basale de l'epinotum un peu plus etroite, deux fois plus longue que large; ecaille plus convexe devant. Du reste absolument identique et de meme couleur.
Le pangolin semble avoir mange un nombre modere d'ouvrieres dans deux fourmilieres differentes, dont l'une appartient a une variete plus foncee (brune a pattes rougeatres) qui est en meme temps un peu moins robuste.
Cette espece est bien caracterisee par sa pilosite.
