description: In memory sorted key-value collections are widely used as a programming technique.

In this article we propose a new Paged Skip LIst collection which is suitable for large concurrently changed collections.

We’ll discuss the pros. and cons. of existing sorted key-value collections and the new proposed Paged Skip LIst and we will show that Paged Skip LIst in many cases has much better performance, despite the more complex implementation.

description: Effective communication is essential in today's interconnected world, making the mastery of English as a second language (ESL) a critical skill. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating the four core language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—into ESL instruction to enhance learners' communicative competence. This paper reviews existing research, identifies challenges faced by language teachers, especially non-native speakers, and offers practical solutions for implementing integrative teaching methods. The findings suggest that integrated skill instruction promotes active learning, improves all-round proficiency, and prepares students for effective communication beyond the classroom.

Notes:— Begonia costello was published in a seed list in the journal of the American Begonian Society (Anon. 1975) as nomen only. Begonia costello was published without description, and hence is an invalid name. Golding (1989) noted that B. costello actually refers to B. acetosa Vell., and is similar to B. itaguassuensis (see notes under B. cantareira above); however here it is considered Begonia costello is Begonia itaguassuensis Brade.

Abstract

The COcyber project is designed to enhance collaboration between civilian and defence sectors in cybersecurity, addressing the growing complexity of cyber threats that challenge both national security and critical infrastructure. Central to the project is the Data Management Plan (DMP), which ensures that all data generated and handled is managed with the utmost care for security, compliance, and long-term utility. The DMP outlines a comprehensive data collection, storage, and preservation framework, adhering to the highest standards to maintain data integrity and accessibility. By establishing clear roles and responsibilities among project partners and implementing rigorous data security measures, the DMP safeguards sensitive information while promoting transparency and effective collaboration. The plan also includes strategies for the preservation of valuable data, ensuring that the insights gained from COcyber will continue to support cybersecurity advancements across Europe long after the project concludes.

COcyber is a two-year initiative supported by the European Commission and European Cybersecurity Competence Centre to foster the collaboration of civilian and defence cybersecurity sectors.

Species in the following three new genera were, or would have been in the case of Indonaucoris, previously recognized within Naucoris. Thus, although molecular evidence reveals strong distinctions among them, generic level morphological differences are subtle at best in these morphologically conserved taxa. As such, I provide a generalized description of each new genus, but with few evident morphological differences.

Material examined. 1 male, CL 2.8 mm, 2 females, CL 2.3, 3.2 mm, RUMF­ZC­32, Motonagura, Ishigaki I., coll. T. Naruse & T. Nagai, 21 Dec. 2004; 1 female, CL 5.1 mm, RUMF­ZC­33, Motonagura, Ishigaki I., coll. T. Naruse & T. Nagai, 20 Mar. 2005.
Remarks. The specimens from Ishigaki Island agree well with the description of M. elongatum by Rathbun (1931) and Tan & Ng (1999). The range of this species is extended east from Fukien Province, China.
Shokita (1990) had recorded M. elongatum from Iriomote I., which is located less than 20 km west of Ishigaki I., but he did not provide a description or figure. Shokitaís (1990) material is almost certainly lost (S. Shokita, pers. comm.), and as such, the identity of his specimens cannot be determined.
Specimens from Ishigaki I. were collected from riverbeds of river mouths, with a pebbly­sandy substratum. The locality is exposed by seawater at high tide.

description: 3. Austrophilopterus megathorax Carriker 1950 (Fig. 8)
Austrophilopterus megathorax Carriker 1950: 178. Type host: " Pteroglossus didymus Sclater " = P. viridis (L.).
Material. VENEZUELA: Holotype female, El Cuyuni, Rio Cuyuni (MAC­7001; 1910). Remarks. Carriker based this new species on what he called “...a single, nearly adult, female"
or "slightly immature" female. The specimen lacks the expected pigmentation and suffers
from some distortion.
Male. Unknown.
Female. Dorsal head as in Fig. 8. Tergal setae on II, 2; III–VII, 4; VIII, 5. Sternal setae on II–VII, 5–7. Dimensions: TW, 0.55; HL, 0.64; PW, 0.37; MW, 0.47; AWV, 0.59; TL, 1.70.
Diagnosis. The single specimen is admittedly very small in all dimensions, much smaller than any other forms of this genus from Pteroglossus or Ramphastos. Other differentiating features, except for head shape (Fig. 8), given by Carriker do not hold true. However, in the absence of any male from this locality we believe it prudent to continue recognition of this as a valid species until further material is collected and studied.
This louse species was described by Carriker (1950) from P. didymus Sclater. Hopkins and Clay (1952) subsequently modified this to P. [viridis] didymus Sclater. Price et al. (2003) dropped the brackets and gave the host as P. viridis didymus Sclater. However, Dickinson (2003) does not recognize " didymus " as a valid taxon, but states that it is based on subadult specimens of P. inscriptus. Since P. inscriptus does not occur in Venezuela, and P. viridis does, we believe that the latter name represents the correct one for Carriker's type host. This action is further reinforced by the fact that the 6 louse specimens we have studied from P. inscriptus from Brazil are quite different from that of A. megathorax.

Diagnosis. original transcription from Fairchild (1964: 170): a small dark brown species similar to Ps. patellicornis, but wings bases to ends of basal cells black.
Distribution. unknown.
Holotype ♀: deposited at BMNH, analyzed through photographs (figs. 6A–B).
Discussion. this species was described by Fairchild (1964) from only one specimen which had no locality data, deposited in the BMNH (fig. 6C). Even with this difficulty, Fairchild had no doubts about publishing the description: “The specimen is beautifully preserved and in spite of having no locality, is so distinct and so obviously related to Ps. patellicornis that I have felt it worth while to describe it.” The distinction mentioned by the author refers mainly to the conspicuous wing spot, indicated by the specific epithet nigribasis, which has not been observed in any other Pityocera. Fairchild did not publish any illustration with the original description; they are presented for the first time in this paper (figs. 6A–B).

Type species: Periplaneta anthracina Gerstaecker, 1883. By original designation.
Note. The genus Duchailluia was described in the subfamily Blattinae, as closely related to the genus Neostylopyga Shelford, 1911 (Rehn 1933).
Currently, the male genitalia known only for D. ivindo sp. nov. Therefore, it is strongly necessary to describe the male genitalia of other congeners, and those of the type species D. anthracina, in particular.
Species included: As given by Beccaloni (2014), with addition of Duchailluia ivindo sp. nov. and exclusion of Distylopyga semoni (Krauss, 1903) and Neostylopyga yemenica (Bey-Bienko, 1969) (see below).

description: Diplocirrus imajimai sp. nov.
(New Japanese name: Imajima-konbou-habouki) (Figure 2)
Type material. Holotype: NSMT-Pol H-635, off Otsuchi St. 2, 215 m depth, collected by NJ, COI sequence could not be determined.
Description. Holotype incomplete, 11 mm long, 1 mm wide (in chaetiger 10), 18 chaetigers. Body with first 9 chaetigers swollen, thereafter cylindrical (Fig. 2A). Tunic whitish in ethanol without sediment particles (Fig. 2B). Digitate papillae abundant, longer than wide, short, in median chaetigers about 1/25 as long as notochaetae and 1/4 as long as lateral papillae in chaetal lobe, arranged in 4–5 transverse rows per segment. Cephalic hood transparent, without papillae. Gonopodial lobe and gonopores absent. Posterior region tapered; anal part lost in holotype.
Two types of branchiae present: dorsal branchiae 0.8 mm long, thick, with one lobe in internal side, not lamellate (Fig. 2C); ventral branchiae 0.9 mm long, thick, smooth, not lamellate (Fig. 2D). Palps 1.0 mm long, grooved. Upper and lateral lips well developed. Caruncle poorly projected, not separating dorsal branchiae. Eyes absent. Nephridial lobes present, whitish (Fig. 2E).
Parapodia poorly developed, chaetae emerging from body wall; notopodia with no lateral papillae on anterior side and 1–3 lateral papillae on posterior side; neuropodia with no lateral papillae on anterior side and 1–2 lateral papillae on posterior side. Cephalic cage developed (1 st notochaeta 1.2 mm in length). Notochaetae 5–8 per bundle, multiarticulate (Fig. 2F) with 15–19 articles in chaetiger 19; tip capillary. Neurochaetae 4–6 per bundle, multiarticulate (Fig. 2G) with 12–15 articles in chaetiger 19, rounded projection poorly developed; subdistal article 3–4 times longer than wide; tip slightly falcate.
Distribution. Only known from type locality, off Otsuchi, 215 m depth.
Etymology. This species is named after Dr. Minoru Imajima in recognition of his great taxonomic works about Japanese polychaetes. The specific name is a noun in the genitive case.
Remarks. Diplocirrus imajimai sp. nov. resembles D. capensis Day, 1961 in the following features: i) body papillae are short, longer than wide, and abundant, ii) body is not covered with sediment particles, and iii) gonopores are absent. The cephalic cage of D. imajimai sp. nov. is well developed (longer than body wide), whereas it is poorly developed in D. capensis (chaetiger 1 shorter than following ones). Diplocirrus capensis has black eyes, whereas D. imajimai sp. nov. does not have eyes.

Male diagnosis. Distinctive species confined to the east coast of Madagascar that appears somewhat intermediate between A. trifidum and the species formerly treated under A. panorpoides. Its unique characters are the (1) uniformly brown antefrons, clypeus, labrum and labium (Fig. 4 F, 5H); (2) largely brown thorax with faint and limited paler markings (Fig. 6 G); (3) mostly 2 cells in Fw triangle, although 37% of examined wings with 1 cell; (4) abdomen that narrows most on S5–6 while S7–10 are slender (Fig. 7 E); (5) ventrally entirely dark abdomen with extensive dorsal white markings only on S3–6, which are solid and clean-cut but not confluent across dorsal carina (Fig. 7 E); (6) narrow lobe of hamule with notched tip (Fig. 8 E); and (7) black dorsum of cerci, not largely white (Fig. 7 E). Similar only to A. trifidum are the (8) more numerous Fw Ax, usually 8½ but occasionally 8 or 9½.
Range and ecology. Known only from littoral forest fragments at the southern (Tolagnaro, formerly Fort Dauphin) and northern (Voloina) ends of Madagascar’s east coast (Fig. 9 B). Only about 10% of the original cover of these forests remains, all in small patches of which only 13% are protected (Consiglio et al. 2006). The species may occur elsewhere along the coast, but as it seems restricted to this habitat, could well be under threat (Schütte & Razafindraibe 2007). The larvae are possibly adapted to more acidic water than A. attenboroughi sp. nov.
