Amastigomonas mutabilis

description: Amastigomonas mutabilis (Griessmann 1913) Molina and Nerad 1991 (Fig. 2u)
Observation: Cells are elliptical, 11 to 16 µm long, dorso-ventrally flattened and flexible. There is a flexible sleeve around the base of the anterior flagellum. The anterior flagellum is about 0.5 times the cell length and the same thickness as the posterior one. The recurrent posterior flagellum is slightly longer than the cell and trails under the body, to which it attaches loosely in a slight groove. The nucleus is situated subapically near the right margin of the cell. Some cells have granules along side the recurrent flagellum. Relatively rare than Amastigomonas debruynei.
Remarks: This species has synonyms: Rhynchomonas mutabilis and Thecamonas mutabilis. It has been reported from marine sites in Agean Sea (Turkey), Australia, Brazil, Denmark, England, France, Greenland, Korea and North Atlantic with lengths of 7–16 µm (Griessmann 1913; Ruinen 1938; Larsen and Patterson 1990; Vørs 1992b, 1993a; Patterson et al. 1993; Patterson and Simpson 1996; Tong 1997b; Tong et al. 1998; Lee and Patterson 2000; Al-Qassab et al. 2002; Lee 2002b, 2006b; Lee et al. 2003; Aydin and Lee 2012). It seems to be cosmopolitan. This species was characterised by the line of granules along side the posterior flagellum (Larsen and Patterson 1990), but some cells lack the granules. Amastigomonas bermudensis Molina and Nerad 1991 is very similar to A. mutabilis in general appearance and their cell length. Further work is required to clarify the identities of these two species.

description: The chemical industry is one of the key industrial sectors in Germany and at the same time one of the largest consumers of energy and raw materials. A successful energy transition and the development of a circular economy can only succeed if they are actively supported and shaped by the chemical industry – through the redesign of existing production processes and the exploration and implementation of new process routes. The challenge is to realize this transformation within a very short time and for many production processes, whereby a much larger number of process routes must be explored. Digital technologies are key to master this transformation towards more sustainability, climate, and environmental protection. The KEEN project aims to explore and leverage artificial intelligence (AI) opportunities in process industry. The newly developed AI methods are tested wherever possible in real working environments and production plants to prove the economic benefit, applicability, and reliability of the methods and technologies.

Stedocys zhaoi Wu & Li in Wu et al., 2017: 232, figs 16–17, 20C–D (♂ holotype from THAILAND, Sai Yok, Wang Krachae Subdistrict, unnamed cave, (14°12'11.3"N 99°01'12.1"E), 185 m a.s.l., 1 October 2014, H. Zhao, Y. Li & Z. Chen leg., deposited in IZCAS; 5♀ paratypes, same data as holotype, deposited in IZCAS, not examined).
Additional material examined. THAILAND: Chumphon: 1♂ 2♀ Lang Suan district, Tham Khao Kriab (09°49'10.0"N 99°02'23.0"E), 130 m, dark part of limestone cave, 16 December 2013, P. Schwendinger leg. (MHNG).
Diagnosis. Scyloxes zhaoi comb. n. resembles S. magna comb. n. (Bristowe 1952: figs 9–10, Brignoli 1976: fig. 55) by the male palp with long, distally coiled embolus (Fig. 13E–F) and by the female vulva with two pairs of spermathecae on very long stalks (Fig. 13G–H;). Males are distinguished from the latter species by the cymbium wider than long, embolus medially twisted and strongly arched before coil (Fig. 13E–F; Wu et al. 2017: fig. 16A–F) (vs. cymbium longer than wide, embolus lacking medial twist and gently arched before coil in S. magna comb. n.). Females are distinguished by the epigyne with pair of sclerotized pre-epigastric fovea (absent in S. magna comb. n.) and by the vulva with two pairs of rounded spermathecae (Fig. 13G, Wu et al. 2017: fig. 17B) (vs. one pair rounded and one tubular in S. magna comb. n.).
Description. See Wu et al. (2017: 232).
Note. Specimens examined in this study show some variation, when compared to the type specimens depicted in the original description (for comparison see Wu et al. 2017: figs 16–17, 20C–D). Males have the embolus tip loop distally extended, while the type specimens have it almost flat, and females have the pre-epigastric plates closer to each other and extending laterally from the epigastric plate, farther apart and not extending laterally in the type specimens. However, we believe that a denser sampling is necessary to raise a new name for this population and consider these differences as intraspecific variations.
Distribution. Thailand (Fig. 17).

description: Health care providers often struggle to treat patients with chronic pain. One potential solution is to facilitate access to programs and tools that develop patients’ skills and confidence in managing their own care. This study aimed to describe the uptake of the Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) in Eastern Ontario and evaluate the effectiveness of the program in the acquisition of knowledge, confidence, and skills required to manage chronic pain, as measured by the Patient Activation Measure (PAM). Using data routinely collected through the CPSMP between December 2017 and May 2023, we conducted a descriptive analysis of the number of participants each year, their gender, and their age distributions. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of the change in PAM score between participants’ first (baseline) and last (follow-up) day in the program. Overall, 1023 individuals enrolled in the CPSMP during the study period, with enrollments peaking in 2018 and remaining stable thereafter. There was a higher proportion of females compared to males (69%, n = 709) and 50- to 59-year-olds compared to other ages. Of the 1023 participants enrolled, 151 completed PAM surveys at baseline and follow-up (15%), of which 69% experienced an increase of at least 4 points on the PAM (104/151). Most participants were female and aged 50 to 59 years old. Among a sample of participants with available longitudinal data, the CPSMP demonstrated promising effectiveness at equipping participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their pain. Replication in a larger representative sample is warranted.

Chrosiothes

description: Genus Chrosiothes Simon
Type species: Chrosiothes silvaticus Simon, 1894
Composition and distribution. Twentyseven species, including the six new species of Chrosiothes described here. The genus has eleven species unique to the Neotropical Region, nine species unique to the Neartic Region, three species unique to the Oriental Region, and four species shared between the Neotropical and Neartic Regions. In the present study was expanded the distribution of the genus in Brazil (Fig. 29).
Diagnosis. Chrosiothes species differ from the other genus of the Spintharinae by the presence of an outer lateral tubercle on the patellae I–V, conspicuous lateral tubercle in Chrosiohtes and inconspicuous in other genus (Durán-Barrón et al., 2013) and cymbium of the male palp is triangular-shape (Durán-Barrón et al., 2013), oval in other spintharines genus (Durán-Barrón et al., 2013). Differ from Stemmops by the spinneret sclerotized ring absent (Agnarsson, 2004; Durán-Barron et al., 2013) and by the PME far from laterals, in Stemmops PME close to laterals; from Thwaitesia by the alveolar cavity in the male cymbium non sclerotized (Agnarsson, 2004; Durán-Barrón et al., 2013) and by the silvery pigment in abdominal dorsum absent; from Neopisinus by the shape of conductor, in Neopisinus the male palp with an enormous trifid conductor with two pointed structures and the third one apically bifurcated (Marques et al. 2011, figs. 1, 2); from Janula by the carapace without two large conical tubercles bearing the AME (sensu Yoshida & Koh 2011, figs. 28–30, 38–40) from Spintharus by the shape of cymbial hood (Durán-Barrón et al., 2013); and differ from Episinus by the opisthosoma is inclined in relation to the location of the pedicel (Durán-Barrón et al., 2013), in Episinus it is straight. Of the species that do not occur in the Neotropical Region, differ from Pycnoepisinus by the stridulatory organ between legs I and II (Wunderlich 2008, fig. 384) absent; from Moneta by the shape of eyes, in dorsal view, in two parallel rows in the Moneta (Saaristo 2006, figs. 45–47); and from Brunepisinus by the absence of rounded tubercles projecting anteriorly from the carapace (Yoshida & Koh 2011, see figs. 57, 58) and by the absence of stridulating organ in male first coxae and second femora (Yoshida & Koh 2011, see fig. 61).

description: The glass ceiling still exists in the workplace, where women face barriers to achieving a higher career path. One of the obstacles comes from the organizational environment in the form of gender stereotypes, which make it increasingly difficult for women to occupy managerial positions. In this case, leaders play an important role in building relationships with subordinates to overcome the glass ceiling issue. Not many studies analyze gender discrimination in the workplace from the perspective of social exchange between leaders and subordinates. This study aimed to analyze the effect of leader-member exchange on career satisfaction and work engagement through the glass ceiling. Data were collected from 469 female employees working in various companies in Indonesia. Convergent and discriminant validity were conducted to validate the measurement of variables, and the partial least squares were used to test the hypotheses. Leader-member exchange has been shown to have a negative effect on the glass ceiling. Similarly, the glass ceiling has a negative effect on career satisfaction and work engagement. In addition, the glass ceiling mediates the effect of leader-member exchange on career satisfaction and work engagement. Given these results, leaders need to build high quality relationships with employees to prevent a glass ceiling in the workplace. Discrimination against women continues to be an important issue in the workplace, with women facing barriers to leadership positions. Glass ceilings at work are often elusive. In this case, the leader’s role becomes crucial. Leaders are responsible for building quality relationship with subordinates, and the quality of the relationship can determine career success, including overcoming career barriers for women. If women feel inhibited from reaching managerial positions, this will affect their career satisfaction and work engagement. This research provides an understanding of how the quality of the leader-subordinate relationship may impact the glass ceiling experienced by women and how it affects career satisfaction and work engagement. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain high quality relationships between leaders and subordinates in the workplace, as this can protect women from various forms of discrimination.

Anufrievia ciconia Dworakowska, 1976, Reichenbachia, 16: 46 [Taiwan].
Anufrievia ciconia: Hayashi & Ozaki 2000, Jpn. J. syst. Entomol., 6: 118 [Japan (Ryukyus)].
Body creamy white to pale ochreous. Vertex occasionally tinged with pale orange centrally. Fore wing ivory white, often with longitudinal pale brown stripes on clavus and vein CuA.
Female 7th abdominal sternite trapezoidal, with posterior margin swollen near middle and bearing numerous short hairs posteriorly.
Body length (mean): ♂, 2.8–3.1 mm (3.0 mm); ♀, 2.9–3.2 mm (3.0 mm).
Male genitalia. Pygofer with dorsal process curved inward and bifurcated near apex. Aedeagus arcuate, with pair of apical processes and ventral process; apical process long and thin, 0.4–0.5 times as long as aedeagal shaft; ventral process, 0.6–0.7 times as long as aedeagal shaft; preatrium long; gonopore subapical on ventral surface.
Specimens examined. [Miyako Is.] 1♂, Wipiya, Gusukube, 13. V. 1995, M. Hayashi et al.; 6♂ 1♀, same data except 25. VI. 2008. [Ishigaki Is.] 2♂ 2♀, Hirakubo, 11. III. 2010, N. Ohara leg.

Distribution. Japan (Ryukyus: Okinawa, Kumejima, Miyako, Ishigaki, Iriomote, Hateruma, Yonaguni); Taiwan.
Remarks. A detailed description of this species was provided by Chiang & Knight (1990), but Japanese specimens have a slight difference in the male genitalia: the pygofer process is bifurcated apically. Morphological features of female 7th abdominal sternite are described here for the first time. This species closely resembles A. akazu (Matsumura, 1932), but it is distinguishable by a character of male genitalia: pair of aedeagal apical processes remarkably longer.
Bionomics. The host plants are Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell.-Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) and Pipturus arborescens (Link) C.B. Rob. (Urticaceae). This species seems to occur throughout the year.

description: Over recent years, economic development and environmental degradation have become major challenges that pressurize organizations to adopt a green innovation culture. Therefore, green human resource management (GHRM) practices are necessary to improve sustainable performance in healthcare organizations functioning in Pakistan. This study literature on GHRM practices with green innovation supports an environment-friendly atmosphere in the business world to achieve sustainable performance. At the same time, managing risk remains limited in the health sector. Therefore, the present study intends to identify the execution of GHRM practices through green innovation on sustainable performance in healthcare organizations. Additionally, this study evaluates the moderating effect of risk management among green innovation and GHRM practices toward sustainable performance. This study scrutinizes the following relationships from a sample of 400 respondents from Pakistan’s government and non-government hospitals. The partial least structure equation modeling method (PLS-SEM) is implemented to measure the structural framework of sustainable performance. Results showed that GHRM practices positively affect sustainable performance through green innovation. Additionally, risk management significantly moderates the relationship between GHRM practices and green innovation towards sustainable performance. However, GHRM practices in an eco-friendly environment have meaningful directions for top managers and policy-makers of healthcare organizations to develop a green innovation culture to mitigate the risk and boost sustainable performance. Green HRM plays a critical role in achieving sustainable performance in the healthcare sector, where the demand for both efficient services and environmental stewardship is high. This innovative approach integrates environmental concerns into human resource policies to foster a workforce that is skilled, motivated, and environmentally conscious. Furthermore, effective risk management within this framework helps healthcare organizations ensure a safer and more sustainable operation. By embracing Green HRM, healthcare providers can improve their environmental performance and contribute to a healthier community and planet. This approach supports the global sustainability goals and positions healthcare organizations as leaders in health and environmental stewardship.

Empoascanara Distant, 1918, Faun. Brit. Ind., 7: 94.
Distribution. Palearctic, Oriental, Australian, Ethiopian regions.
Notes. At present, 88 species of three subgenera, Empoascanara Distant, 1918, Bza Dworakowska, 1979 and Kanguza Dworakowska, 1972, have been described worldwide. The subgenus Empoascanara Distant comprising 80 species has been recorded from all of above regions, but the other subgenera are only known from the Oriental region. In Japan, only the nominotypical subgenus is known and two species of this subgenus are newly recorded: E. bisignatella (Matsumura, 1932) comb. nov. and E. kotoshonis (Matsumura, 1940). So six species are now known from Japan. In the check lists of Morimoto (1989) and Hayashi (2002), E. maculifrons (Motschulsky, 1863) has been reported from Japan, but this is based on a misidentification of E. alami (Ahmed, 1970).

description: The COVID-19 pandemic catalysed a monumental shift in the traditional workplace, compelling organisations worldwide to rapidly embrace telecommuting. This unplanned experiment has challenged assumptions about productivity and collaboration, while raising crucial questions about the intricate interplay between employee engagement, telecommuting propensity, and employee performance. This study aims to illuminate the dynamics underpinning the virtual workplace, offering insights to inform effective strategies for optimising employee performance in the evolving work landscape of the South African ICT sector. Leveraging the employee engagement theory, social exchange theory, and the Triarchy Model of employee performance, the study examines the relationships between these pivotal constructs. The population for this study is employees working in South Africa’s ICT sector. Data collected from 478 respondents was analysed through structural equation modelling. The study discovers direct relationships among the constructs. Employee engagement is positively associated with employee performance, and telecommuting propensity. However, the study found no relationship between telecommuting propensity and employee performance. The research findings suggest that the studied employees working in the South African ICT sector exhibit heightened engagement and performance when telecommuting, despite telecommuting propensity not being a direct determinant of performance. These insights offer valuable implications for organisational strategies and practices to foster employee engagement, productivity, and overall effectiveness in the evolving work landscape.

Empoascanara kotoshonis: Dworakowska 1980, Reichenbachia, 18: 195.
Body length (mean): ♂, 2.4–2.8 mm (2.6 mm); ♀, 2.5–2.8 mm (2.7 mm).
Distribution. Japan * (Ryukyus: Amami-Oshima, Tokunoshima, Okinoerabujima, Okinawa, Kumejima, Aguni, Miyako, Ishigaki, Kohama, Iriomote, Hateruma, Yonaguni); Taiwan.
Remarks. This species is newly recorded and more than 500 specimens were collected from throughout the Ryukyus, Japan. This leafhopper, belonging to the E. sonani species-group, is very similar to E. (E.) sonani (Matsumura, 1931) in the shape of male genitalia, but easily distinguished by having black basal triangles on the mesonotum. Moreover it is differentiated by the large traverse patch on the head. This marking originates from two lateral patches, and these are fused to each other. But the degree of this fusion is different individually.
Bionomics. This species is mostly found on grasses which grow in open habitats.

description: Comparison with Cocconeis arenicola
Cocconeis magnoareolata sp. nov. with its large areolae may be compared to C. arenicola Ryznik, described from tidal flats in the Yaquina Estuary, USA, but the later differs by having larger valves (22–27 × 17–20 µm) and by its striae density, almost one third of that in our new species (7 vs 21–22 in 10 µm). Although C. arenicola was abundant in Yaquina Estuary, it has not been observed at any other geographic location. The type slide of this species (ANSP, slide no. 62634) has been examined. R.Z. Riznyk made seven small circles on the cover slip, and only two of these contain valves of C. arenicola. New images have been taken and illustrated here (Figs 8–9) to represent sternum and raphe valves. Sternum valve appears conforming to original description but the raphe valve does not seem to correspond to the description of the type by Riznyk (1973: pl. V, fig. 6). Striae density of both sternum and raphe valves described by the author is different from that observed in the type specimens. R.Z. Ryznyk gave seven striae in 10 µm on both valves, while the specimens in the type slide show 9–9.8 and 12–16 in 10 µm for sternum and raphe valves, respectively. Because of the very brief original description of this species, as well as of the varying of some features of the type specimens, an emended description is given below based on LM.

description: Rapid digitalization and explosive growth of e-commerce have elevated the need for effective supply chain and logistics management in the online retail sector. Consequently, third-party logistics (3PL) providers are becoming indispensable to online retailers as a way to satisfy customers’ demands for prompt and dependable deliveries. The study is aimed at identifying major drivers ruling merchants’ satisfaction with third-party logistics from e-commerce perspectives. A set of multifaceted factors are investigated in this study that encourage retailers to employ third-party logistics rather than their own fleets. This study is quantitative in nature where 250 respondents are chosen on the basis of the random sampling method. In organizing and constructing factors, demographic statistics, and factor analysis are used respectively. In analyzing data and testing the hypothesis, the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach is applied using SMART PLS-4 software. The findings of this study can be a basis for third-party logistics providers to optimize their logistics services and design marketing and operational programs to enhance partnerships with their clients. Moreover, this research provides important insights into the continuous endeavor to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the e-commerce sector in developing countries.

description: Apusomonas sp. (Figs 1e, 2v)
Observation: Cell is about 7 µm long and dorso-ventrally flattened with a single flagellum. Cell outline is ovate. The mastigophore emerges from a cavity about half of the cell length from the anterior end, is flexible. The flagellum is partly in a sleeve, which arises at the distal end of the mastigophore. The length of the flagellum plus the mastigophore is longer the cell. No structure seen on the dorsal and ventral sides. The cell glides closely to the substrate. One cell was observed at St. 38.
Remarks: The cell observed here is assigned to the genus Apusomonas because of its mastigophore and its cell appearance. It was identified to genus because of lack of information. This genus has been usually found from freshwater sites and soils (e.g., Vickerman et al. 1974; Karpov and Zhukov 1980, 1986; Ekelund and Patterson 1997), but recently A. proboscidea was reported from a marine sediment in tropical Australia (Lee 2006b).

Pantanarendra sonani: Ramakrishnan & Ghauri 1979, Reichenbachia, 17: 200.
Distribution. Japan (Ryukyus: Okinawa, Ishigaki); Taiwan.
Remarks. This species was newly recorded from Okinawa Is., Ryukyus, Japan by Dworakowska (1979), and later found on Ishigaki Is., Ryukyus by Hayashi (2002). But additional Japanese specimens were not examined in this study. This leafhopper, included in the E. sonani species-group, is very similar to E. (E.) kotoshonis (Matsumura), but is easily distinguished because the two patches on the head are not fused to each other, and the black basal triangles on the mesonotum are absent. Although the configuration of the male genitalia of the two species is hardly distinguishable, the taxonomic features distinguishing the species from E. (E.) kotoshonis are as follows, which are based on Dworakowska (1992b): in majority of specimens, apical part of dorsal pygofer process mostly rhomboid-like on outline (not fusiform); extension of aedeagus at atrium in caudal view narrower, with spines less and smaller. Moreover the shape of female 7th sternite is also similar in the two species, but its posterior part of this species is longer and narrower.
Bionomics. This species also prefers open habitats and feeding mostly on grasses, but it also utilizes various composite plants, and tolerates more arid conditions than E. (E.) kotoshonis (cf. Dworakowska 1992b). Furthermore, Ipomoea batatas L. (sweet potato) (Convolvulaceae) is also recorded as a host plant by Chiang & Knight (1990).

description: This paper asseses the efficiency of the State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) in Asia-Pacific and European regions by adapting a non-parametric analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compute technical efficiency (TE). There are two TE models available namely constant returns-to-scale (CRS) and Variable Return to Scale (VRS). The VRS has comforted the CRS model, which brings to an assumption that not all DMU operates at optimal scale. This model is able to decompose TE into two; i.e. Pure Technical Efficiency (PTE) and Scale Efficiency (SE. Therefore this investigation abides VRS by computing TE, PTE and SE on 170 SOEs in both economies countries for the period of 2010–2017. It is initially looking at the yearly efficiency trends as a measurement towards the ability of SOEs to produce the maximum output from a given set of inputs or, the ability to reduce inputs to produce the same amount of output over a certain period of time. It has discovered that SOE in emerging economies countries exhibit significantly higher TE in comparison to SOE in advanced economies countries. This study also reveals that PTE (managerial inefficiency) is the root cause of SOE’s under-achievements in both economies countries.
title: Structural studies of the endotoxin sensing protein Factor C
Creators: name: McClymont, Karen
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Factor C, endotoxin, protein, NMR.

description: Human exposure to Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin can result in life-threatening conditions including sepsis and toxic shock syndrome. Given the importance of avoiding exposure to endotoxin, a sensitive test is required to ensure that medical devices and injectable medicines are not contaminated. Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), produced from the blood of horseshoe crabs, contains an endotoxin-sensing protein, Factor C, that initiates a coagulation cascade. This lysate is used to test for contamination of medical products, with formation of a clot indicating the presence of endotoxin in the sample. 
Alternative methods to the LAL test have been explored to overcome problems with the test. These include the detrimental effects that harvesting has on the wild population of horseshoe crabs. More recently, tests relying on the direct detection of enzymatically active Factor C have been introduced, some of which utilize Factor C produced recombinantly. Despite the importance of Factor C to the health industries, no detailed explanation of its mechanism of endotoxin recognition has been published. The aim of this project was therefore to develop a better understanding of how Factor C is activated by endotoxin binding and to identify conformational changes that take place as a result. 
Two main strategies were employed for structural characterisation and functional analysis of Factor C. First, fragments of Factor C protein were produced recombinantly in Escherichia coli to determine the structures of the individual domains and identify the endotoxin binding region more precisely. Second, expression of the whole Factor C protein in eukaryotic expression systems was attempted to produce material for experiments that would shed light on any overall conformational change that occurs. 
Factor C fragments were successfully expressed in E. coli and purified. Circular dichroism spectroscopy identified that the majority of these fragments were folded, and changes in the spectra of some fragments in the presence of lipopolysaccharide identified potential binding sites. A preliminary structure of the first pair of complement control domains has been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Comparison of this structure with other LPS binding proteins will pave the way for future work to characterise the endotoxin binding site of Factor C.
