description: * Myrmilla parvula Magretti 1906, stat. nov.
Myrmilla cephalica var. parvula Magretti 1906: 41, Ψ, holotype "Adi­Caié, Andreini" (Eritrea) [MSNG].
Myrmilla cephalica parvula: Bischoff 1920: 58, Ψ (Eritrea).
Diagnosis
The female of M. parvula can be distinguished from that of M. rubida by its smaller size (4.0 mm against 6.0–7.0 mm in M. rubida), in lacking a humeral projection (well developed in M. rubida), and in having the frons darkened. The male of M. parvula has similarly shaped mandibles and body coloration to the male of M. rubida but differs in having smaller size (4.8–6.0 mm against 6.4–7.6 in M. rubida), in having well developed denticles on the anterior clypeal border (weak in M. rubida), and in having a shorter, more acuminated gonostylus.
Material examined
Yemen: near Sanaa, III–IV.1998, PT, AvH, 1 Ψ [ZMAN]; Sanaa, IV.1998, MT, AvH, 2 ɗ [ZMAN]; VII.1998, MT, AvH, 1 ɗ [ZMAN]; V–VI.1998, MT, AvH, 1 ɗ [ZMAN]; III–IV.1998, PT, AvH, 1 ɗ [ZMAN]; Al Kowd, IV.1993, MT, AvH, 1 ɗ [ZMAN]; 12 km NW Manakhah, 3.VII–21.VIII.2001, MT, AvH, 2 ɗ [RMNH]; 1.I–7.V.2003, MT, AvH, 1 ɗ [RMNH]; 15.V–23.VI.2003, MT, AvH, 3 ɗ [RMNH]; 24.VI–4.VIII.2003, MT, AvH, 2 ɗ [RMNH].
Distribution
Yemen (new record), Eritrea.
Remarks
The varieties rubida and parvula described by Magretti (1906) have nothing to do with Palaearctic M. glabrata Fabricius 1775 (= cephalica Sichel et Radoszkowski 1869), so we change their status.

title: Water Extraction from Lunar Simulants using Microwave Heating: A Pathway towards In Situ Resource Utilisation on the Moon
Creators: name: Cole, James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: Water is a vital resource for creating a sustainable human presence in the Solar System. The lunar poles are thought to contain vast quantities of water ice in Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs). Determining the most energy efficient technique for extracting the water will become important to future endeavours as energy resources may be limited in areas containing no sunlight. Microwave heating offers volumetric heating of lunar regolith and therefore may be effective at extracting water from icy regolith. This thesis presents the feasibility of using low power (250 W) microwave heating as a water extraction technique. Initial thermal modelling demonstrated how low power microwave heating can extract large quantities of water from icy regolith. Analogue icy regolith samples were developed using different simulants, water contents, and forms of ice. Real time mass loss from in situ analogue samples during microwave heating was measured using a bespoke Dynamic Mass Instrument (DMI). The impact of different sample properties such as mineralogical composition, water content, ice grain size, and the form of ice were investigated. In Diffuse Icy Regolith (DIR) samples, mineralogical composition had a negligible impact on water extraction rates. For a range of water contents in DIR samples, the ratio of water extracted compared to the initial water content remained constant until the saturation point. At saturation, the extraction rate decreased due to the formation of free regions of ice. For Granular Icy Regolith (GIR), it was found that a larger ice grain size led to higher and more discrete water extraction rates. Extraction differences between different forms of ice were explained using data from the DMI. The highest extraction efficiency through various experiments was found to be 0.032 g/Wh in 25 minutes. This thesis demonstrates that low power microwave heating is a viable solution for water extraction from icy lunar regolith.

description: In contrast to the U.S., little research on the impact of structural racism in education in Germany has been conducted so far. Also, the Critical Race Theory (CRT) has little to no relevance in education. As school significantly influences the further life of children and young people, equal opportunities must be ensured to prevent the reinforcement of the social division in Germany. Therefore, this work will examine whether findings from studies in the U.S. can be transferred to the German educational system since both countries struggle with a substantial rise in racism, racially motivated violence, and hate.Hence this work aims to answer the following research question: How does the CRT influence the U.S. educational system and to what extent can these findings be transferred to the German context? First, key terms and the Critical Race Theory will be defined, which are at the core of education reforms and controversies in the US. Then, the history of the U.S. will be examined to contextualise the status quo of the educational system in the U.S. With this background knowledge and drawing from the theoretical framework of CRT, recent educational reforms and their impact will be analysed. Lastly, based on these findings, possible implications for Germany will be formulated.

description: The Cyber Awareness Club, under the Department of Computer Applications at Integral University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, publishes a monthly magazine titled Cyber Bulletin. The primary aim of this magazine is to educate the public about the current landscape of cybercrimes and how to protect themselves.

The December 2024 edition delves into the sophisticated tactics employed by cybercriminals. As technology advances, so do the deceptive methods used to exploit individuals and organizations. Staying informed is crucial to defend against these ever-evolving threats.

This issue highlights several prevalent cyber scams, including:

Phishing Arrest Threats: Scammers impersonate law enforcement agencies through emails or messages, claiming you are under investigation and demanding payments to avoid arrest. Always verify such claims through official channels and never click on suspicious links.

Vishing Arrest Scams: Fraudsters make threatening phone calls, pretending to be law enforcement officers and demanding money to cancel an arrest warrant. Remember, authorities will not ask for payments over the phone.

Smishing Arrest Threats: Similar to phishing but via text messages, claiming you're involved in illegal activities and demanding payment to clear your name. Do not respond to these messages and report them to the authorities.

Intimidating Emails or Letters: Cybercriminals send emails or letters pretending to be from legal entities to extract money or sensitive information. Always verify the legitimacy of such communications through official channels.

Social Media Impersonation: Fraudsters use social media platforms to impersonate officials and claim you are under investigation, demanding money to avoid legal action. Verify such claims directly with the relevant authorities.

Counterfeit Legal Documents: Scammers send counterfeit legal documents, such as subpoenas or court orders, demanding payments or personal information. Verify the authenticity of such documents with the issuing authority.

Awareness is your first line of defense. Stay informed and secure your digital life. Stay safe and vigilant.

Sustaining lean Six Sigma implementation in higher education institutions
Creators: name: Edaki, Louis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology has been implemented as a business improvement strategy across industries and service sectors. Nevertheless, organisations that have been able to sustain the gains of their continuous improvement (CI) initiatives appeared limited, with considerable variation in the level of sustainability. Also, the application of the LSS improvement strategy in HE sectors has not been widely adopted, and successful implementation and sustainability of LSS programmes in HEIs remain a challenge and lack empirical studies. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to explore the status of LSS implementation in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as Public Service organisations (PSOs) to identify the key factors that enable effective implementation and sustainability of LSS programmes in HEIs and make a recommendation.

Related literature was reviewed, focusing on the status of Lean, Six Sigma, LSS and CI applications in HEIs. The research methodology employs a qualitative data collection approach and a semi-structured telephone interview method. Interviews were conducted with heterogeneously selected 14 CI practitioners involved in implementing CI projects and programmes in HE sectors in the UK. The data collected was analysed using Template Analysis techniques. The research finding reveals the critical success factor (CSFs) and barriers to LSS project implementation, the benefits based on the LSS initiative's impact, including the adopted performance measurement systems, sustainability enabling factors

(SEFs) and barriers to sustainable improvement in HEIs, through which LSS Sustainability Framework was developed. Based on the findings, the research recommends the following unique elements for sustainable improvement in HEIs: creating capacity for the CI programme; securing buy-in from management and employees; embedding CI as part of the organisational strategy; system approach to CI implementation; effective performance measurement; managing and sustaining change behaviour and attitude.

This research has contributed to knowledge in both theory and practice. Previous studies in LSS and CI are widespread in the manufacturing and service sector; however, this research has contributed to the LSS and CI Body of Knowledge in the HE and Public Service Sector. The study has also added to the limited literature on LSS and CI sustainability in the service sectors and identified a gap in the literature on LSS and CI sustainability in the HE sectors. The research further identifies novel key SEFs to develop a framework and make recommendations for sustainable CI programmes in HEIs.

description: Expatriate success divided into two criteria, expatriate adjustment and expatriate job performance, is analyzed in relation to extraversion and its facets. Measurements of the Big Five and scales of adjustment as well as job performance were used by interviewing a sample of 80 German, Austrian and Swiss expatriates working in Costa Rica. The overall extraversion trait, gregariousness, assertiveness, and activity show meaningful effects on expatriate job performance. By analyzing expatriate adjustment and its relationship with extraversion and corresponding facets moderate effects were found between activity and interaction adjustment. Positive emotions with interaction adjustment as well as positive emotions with general adjustment show the largest effects. Furthermore, small effects were found for activity and warmth in respect to expatriate adjustment. Finally, suggestions for further research concerning extraversion in expatriate management are given.
description: Im Hinblick auf den Erfolg von Auslandsentsendungen wird das Persönlichkeitsmerkmal Extraversion in Verbindung mit zwei unterschiedlichen Kriterien untersucht: Anpassung und Arbeitsleistung. Für diese Untersuchung wurde eine Stichprobe mit 80 deutschen, österreichischen und schweizerischen Auslandsentsandten in Costa Rica erhoben. Die größten Effekte in der Arbeitsleistung lieferten Gesamt-Extraversion bezogen auf die Gesamtarbeitsleistung und Durchsetzungsfähigkeit bezogen auf Führung. In der Untersuchung von Anpassung und Extraversion mit seinen Facetten wurden mittelmäßige Effekte zwischen der Facette Aktivität und Anpassung in Interaktionen gefunden. Frohsinn lieferte die größten Effekte sowohl im Zusammenhang mit Anpassung in Interaktionen als auch mit genereller Anpassung. Außerdem zeigen die Ergebnisse kleinere Effekte von Aktivität und Herzlichkeit in Verbindung mit Anpassung. Weitere interessante Untersuchungsansätze zu Extraversion und Auslandsentsendungen werden am Ende der Studie vorgeschlagen.
