Wellington TAS Lea Hobart Tasmania J.J.Walker (all ANIC); 1♂: Hobart Tasmania J.J.Walker \ G.C.Champion coll. B.M. 1927-409 (NHML).
Habitus. BL 1.6–1.8mm, BL/BW ~1.7. Elongate oval, dorsal side entirely brown, head darkest, the sutural interval may have a reddish tinge. The semi-erect pilosity is brownish. Head with fine, pronotum with slightly coarser dense granular punctation, normal dense punctures on elytra little larger.
Male. Segments 8 and 9 as for the genus, the pilose lobes of S9 large. The slender penis is waisted between the wide truncate front edge of pala and the transverse bridge where parameroids and trigonium originate. The trigonium is flat, triangular. The widest point is near the base where blunt lateral angles project over the base of parameroids. The convergent sides are straight and meet at a blunt angle of about 40°. Sides of triangle with small teeth. The finger-shaped slightly curved parameroids are a little longer than the trigonium, their apices almost meet behind the trigonium tip. The tegmen is a narrow sclerite bracket supporting the short parameres. Each is an elongate somewhat twisted sclerite with several large hooks along the sides.
Female. Unknown.
Note. Endemic to Tasmania. The holotype has partly extruded genitalia. The large lobes of S9 stand in vertical position laterally from the penis, like shields. The penis base is straight, the parameroids and the trigonium curve gently into opposite directions. Parameres not visible.
Etymology. The specific name describes the shape of the trigonium and is a Latin noun in apposition, triangulum, a triangle.

Habitus. BL 2.4–2.6mm, BL/BW ~1.85. The sides of the slender body are parallel over most of their length. The beetle is light to dark brown, rear of head and centre of pronotum darkest, appendages yellowish. Similar to N. triangulum.
Male. Segments 8 and 9 as for the genus. Penis slender and parallel, front of the pala little wider. Trigonium and parameroids occupy the caudal third of penis length. The trigonium is elongate, tongue-shaped, the gently curved sides and the blunt tip with small scale-like teeth. The slender parameroids are a little longer than the trigonium, narrowed to a rounded apex inclined mediad. The tegmen is a thin sclerite band that widens abruptly laterally and supports the wide obliquely triangular parameres provided with many coarse teeth.
Female. Unknown.
Note. A close relative of N. triangulum, both are endemic to Tasmania. They are easily distinguished by trigonium and parameres.
Etymology. The name radula (Latin, a rasp) is a noun in apposition describing the structure of the paramere.

The Impact of Agricultural Commercialization on Children's Educational Opportunities and Outcomes: Evidence from Crop-Producing Households in Vietnam
Creators: name: Ky, Carolyn

Subjects: subject: Education
subject: Child welfare
subject: Agricultural commercialization
subject: Cash crops
subject: Vietnam

description: Agricultural commercialization is often promoted as a strategy to improve the well-being of crop-producing households, but its impact on children's educational opportunities and outcomes is less understood. This study uses panel data from the 1992/93 and 1997/98 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) to examine the effects of agricultural commercialization on children's educational outcomes, including the highest grade attained, household education expenditure, and access to school books. A fixed effects (FE) regression analysis reveals a nuanced relationship: households that increased their general crop sales experienced positive effects on education, especially regarding higher household spending. However, when households specialized more heavily in cash crops, children's educational opportunities and outcomes generally worsened—unless the households were able to successfully sell their cash crops in the market, which led to an increase in educational attainment. Despite these varied effects, agricultural commercialization had minimal impact on access to schoolbooks. These findings suggest that while commercialization can provide financial benefits that enhance educational investments, the type of crops sold plays a critical role in determining whether commercialization supports or detracts from children's education.

(Figs. 115–120)
Type material: 1♂ holotype: Cradle Mtn Tasmania J. Armstrong (ANIC).
Habitus. An elongate-oval Nothocyphon. BL 2.7mm, BL/BW 1.7. Dark brown, punctation granular and fine on head and pronotum, spaced on pronotum, normal and dense on elytra. Flagellar segments twice as long as wide at apex.
Male. Segments 8 and 9 as in the generic description except that T8 (damaged) appears fairly narrow (Figs. 115–117). The tegmen is a narrow transverse arch supporting slender, blade-like parameres which carry some large teeth near midlength and are serrate along the edge (Fig. 120). The penis (Figs. 118, 119) has an anteriorly wide pala (damaged) which narrows to where the trigonium is inserted. The trigonium is a small sharply pointed triangle. Ventrally it is armed with sharp teeth standing in two irregular oblique rows. Some teeth are unusually large and project laterally across the parameroids. The gently arched parameroids are narrow and extend far beyond the trigonium. They lack spines, to their outside attach membranes (torn in the only specimen).
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The large teeth on the trigonium reminded me of the fangs of vertebrate carnivores. Named after the largest marsupial predator, the Marsupial Wolf, Thylacinus, which survived the arrival of Man in Australia longer in Tasmania than elsewhere.

Habitus. BL 2.4 mm, BL/BW ~1.7, elongate oval, similar to N. thylacinus.
Male. Segments 8 (Figs. 121, 122) and 9 (Fig. 123) as described for the genus. Penis (Fig. 123) parallel-sided, with rounded pala. The short trigonium inserts near the basal third. The contour of the trigonium resembles an inverted heart, its sides are thickened, the bulges bear huge teeth along the medial edge. The straight parameroid is much longer than the trigonium, the long bare apex bears externally a toothed sclerotized lobe pointing cephalad. In dorsoventral view the tips of the parameroid and of the paramere overlap. The paramere is short, slender and heavily toothed along the outside and distally. The tegmen is a thin sclerite arch connecting the parameres.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The trigonium reminded me of a strongly toothed lower jaw of a predator. This suggested the name: Sarcophilus, the Tasmanian Devil, the largest extant carnivore in Tasmania.

Habitus. BL 2.1–2.2mm, BL/BW 1.5. Oval, rather convex. Dorsal side yellowish-orange to brown, elytra with diffuse pattern of variable intensity. A narrow strip along the base of the elytra on either side of the dark scutellum is pale. The strip surrounds the humerus on the outside, along the edge of elytron. Sutural interval also pale but interrupted by brown at midlength from where a brownish arch may extend forward to near the humerus. Appendages yellowish. Lower face and mouthparts as described for the genus. Flagellar segments a little conical, barely twice as long as wide at apex, last segment oval.
Male (Figs. 124–126). Segments 8 and 9 as described for the genus. Penis elongate, pala broadly rounded, almost truncate. The penis widens just caudally from midlength at the bases of trigonium and parameroids. The parameroids are flat, with blunt ends curving around the shorter trigonium. The trigonium is a simple cone supporting a crown of several strong teeth. The most basal teeth are the largest, sickle-shaped, and curve outward and ventrad. The tegmen is a transverse bar which supports short rod-like parameres ending in several very large straight teeth.
Female (Fig. 127). T8 and ovipositor unmodified. Rods of S8 very long, in front connected by a wide semicircular sclerite (not shown). The prehensor is elongate, anteriorly with a sclerite loop and two divergent scaly bands. Caudally from this lies a pair of narrow sleeves ending in dark, scaly pockets, plus a smaller pocket laterally from each. Caudo-laterally are two finely scaly bands.
Note. Habitus, pigmentation and female genitalia resemble N. lindensis. However, the male genitalia differ much. For example, they lack the median hollow spine or spinule patches ventrally from the penis which N. lindensis and relatives have. The parameres are very different.
Etymology. The Latin adjective armatus, armed, alludes to the large spines on the trigonium and the parameres.

(Figs. 128–131)
Type material: holotype ♂: New England Nat. Park, NSW, rainforest below Wright's L'kout, 11.x.66 E.Britton (ANIC).
Habitus. Elongate oval, BL 2.3mm, BL/BW ~1.7. Light brown, legs yellowish brown, flagellar segments 2–8 infuscate. The dorsal punctation is fine, with blond semi-erect pilosity. The antennae are slender, the distal flagellar segments are cylindrical, about twice as long as wide, tip of last segment blunt.
Male. Segments 8 and 9 as described for the genus (Figs. 128, 129). Tegmen and parameres together form a thin rectangular frame (Fig. 130). The straight parameres are long. The thin sclerites of the tegmen widen abruptly and form a triangular lobe caudally from which the long straight parameres narrow continuously. They end as gently inwardly curved rods. Penis (Fig. 131) with oval pala supporting long thin inwardly curved parameroids with asperous tip. On their medial side they are excised in the area occupied by the short trigonium. Its basal arms are connected by a transverse bridge from which originate two parallel rods with rectangularly downcurved sharp tip.
Female. Unknown.
Note. The unusual shape of the genitalia, especially the profoundly divided trigonium reminded me of Petrocyphon species. However, the animal's body structure agrees with genus Nothocyphon. No similar species is known.
Etymology. Latin brevihamatus translates as short hooked; the name is an adjective.

Type material: holotype ♂: 30.30S 152.23E NSW Thungutti Camp New England N.P. 16–18.Nov.1990 A.Calder (ANIC).
Habitus. BL 3.4 mm, BL/BW ~1.8. Elongate, parallel, brown, elytron with 3 weak costae. The punctures on head, pronotum and scutellum are very fine and indistinctly granular. The normal elytral punctures are larger but still fine and dense. The yellowish-brown pilosity is semi-erect. Overall body shape, mouthparts (mandibles not examined), head sutures and ventral face of thorax as described for the genus. The antennal base is unmodified, the flagellar segments are slender, indistinctly conical, about 2.5x as long as wide.
FIGURES 128–136. Nothocyphon spp., males. N. brevihamatus: 128, T8 and S8; 129, T9 and S9, superimposed; 130, tegmen and parameres; 131, penis, ventral view. 128, 129 and 130, 131 to the same scales, respectively.— N. crux: 132, S8; 133, T9; 134, S9; 135, penis; 136, tegmen (broken) and parameres. 132−134 and 135, 136 to the same scales, respectively.
Male. Segment 8 (Figs. 132–136; T8 broken, not shown) unmodified. The thin apodemes of T9 are connected by a forward-bent fine sclerite and continue for a long distance before they taper away on the membranous plate. From their diffuse ends extend two arched lightly pigmented areas to the anterior connecting sclerite. S9 is broad, composed of two short lobes separated by a narrow membranous strip over their entire length, each half with a vaguely sclerotized outwardly curved short apodeme and apical setae.
The penis (Fig. 135) is elongate, its strongly sclerotized components are arranged in cross-shape. From an almost circular soft pala with a median line of weakness originate two strong sub-parallel rods. In the distal fourth they are briefly curved outward and then converge as the edges of a short cordiform trigonium with very fine denticles around its tip. A strong outward directed thumb projects near the base of the trigonium. The parameroids are short approximately triangular platelets which are little longer than the trigonium. The tegmen (Fig. 136) is a thin lace supporting the parameres which are elongate short sclerites, each with 2 or 3 large hooks that are directed obliquely outward and forward.
Female. Unknown.
Note. N. crux has unique genitalia, no similar species is known. The genital preparation was unfortunately damaged and several parts are broken. The figures are partly based on photographs taken before the accident.
Etymology. The Latin noun, crux, a cross, describes the overall shape of the penis.

description: Portulacerebroside A (PCA), a cerebroside compound extracted from Portulaca oleracea L., has been shown to suppress hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of trimethyl chitosan–cysteine (TMC-Cys) nanocarrier in delivering PCA for HCC management and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms behind PCA’s function. TMC-Cys nanocarriers notably augmented PCA’s function, diminishing the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of HCC cells in vitro, reducing hepatocellular tumorigenesis in immunocompetent mice, and impeding metastasis of xenograft tumours in nude mice. Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses, incorporating Super-PRED systems alongside pathway enrichment analysis, pinpointed toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as two promising targets of PCA, enriched in immune checkpoint pathway. PCA/nanocarrier (PCA) reduced levels of TLR4 and EGFR and their downstream proteins, including programmed cell death ligand 1, thereby increasing populations and activity of T cells co-cultured with HCC cells in vitro or in primary HCC tumours in mice. However, these effects were counteracted by additional artificial activation of TLR4 and EGFR. In conclusion, this study provides novel evidence of PCA’s function in immunomodulation in addition to its direct tumour suppressive effect. TMC-Cys nanocarriers significantly enhance PCA efficacy, indicating promising application as a drug delivery system.

Habitus. BL 2.8–3.1mm, BL/BW ~1.75. Body structure as described for the genus. An elongate-oval flat beetle, sides of elytra almost parallel. The light brown pilosity is erect, the animal appears quite hairy. There is a colour gradient from the dark brown head to the yellowish-brown apical portion of elytra. The punctation on head and scutellum is dense, fine and rough, that of the pronotum is granular and rather coarse. The normal elytral punctures are large near the base but grow finer and denser caudally. The antenna is slender, the flagellar segments are cylindrical and a little more than twice as long as wide.
Male. Segment 8 as for the genus (Figs. 137, 138). T9 (Fig. 139) is bare, the strong apodemes are connected by delicate struts. The plate is soft and colourless except the caudolateral angles which are slightly pigmented. Of S9, only the pilose caudal lobes were observed (not shown).
Penis (Fig. 140) with deeply excised pala. Its lateral sclerites are straight convergent strong rods. They continue caudad and form the parameroids. Each ends in a flat, tongue-shaped sclerotized tip and supports a subterminal recurved outer lobe which is armed with fine spinules and teeth on the outside. The area between the strut and the medial lobe is transparent, window-like. The basal arms of the trigonium are attached to the lateral rods. The trigonium is very short, X-shaped, caudally with irregular teeth (Figs. 140–142). The tegmen is a thin long sclerite band which turns into strong longitudinal rods. Caudally, each rod ends in a short thick thumb-like sclerite resting beneath the hyaline window of the parameroid. Caudo-medially, each paramere bears a membranous bare lobe (Fig. 140, pel).
Female. Unknown.
Note. An exceptional species. There is no visible limit between the lateral sclerites of the pala and the parameroids, and the trigonium is exceptionally stout and short. Details of its shape and the arrangement of its caudal spines vary slightly (Figs. 140–142). The shape of the parameres is peculiar. No similar species is known.
Etymology. The name was taken from the Old Testament: Esau (Hebrew: hairy) was the very hairy brother of Jacob. A noun in apposition.

description: This dissertation examines how second generation Indian-American youth in the United States are negotiating and transforming the practice of arranged marriage.  The tradition of arranged marriage has been modeled in their families for generations, but these youth are growing up in a cultural context that highly values freedom of choice and embraces autonomy, as well as validates various alternative lifestyles other than marriage.  The bicultural identities of second generation Indian-American youth provide a framework for their decisions about future marriage.  Little is known about how Indian-American youth view the preservation of cultural and familial marriage traditions.  Through the use of a three part survey on the topics of marriage, choice and emotional expression, as well as in-depth interviews, this project explored how Indian-American youth formulate their constructions of marriage, and how they are situated amid many influences of modern western society.  A social constructivist approach was utilized to elicit detailed descriptions of the perceptions and insights of the youth subjects, aged 15 to 21.  This enabled the formulation of theory grounded in the lived experiences of these youth.  Adults aged 30-61 also completed surveys and interviews to provide parental viewpoints in order to discern generational differences.  Subjects were located in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.  The primary finding of this research is that second generation Indian-American youth are not completely rejecting or indiscriminately resisting the practice of arranged marriage.  They are open to matchmaking, but they desire choice in the process.  They embrace traditional family values, consider the guidance of their elders, and desire parental approval and blessing of their future marriage decisions.  They negotiate parental rules, expectations and communications in a variety of ways to exert agency in decisions related to participation in premarital social activities.  Though the influences of globalism and western culture impact how Indian-American youth shape their opinions and decisions, these forces have not erased their allegiance to Indian traditions.
