description: Augmentative biological control promotes sustainable food production via reducing reliance on chemical insecticides. The San Jose scale, Comstockaspis perniciosa (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), is a major pest in deciduous fruit agriculture worldwide. Surveys in Uruguay have identified a species of Aphytis to be the main natural enemy of this pest; this genus of parasitoids is mostly used for their effectiveness in regulating scale populations. This study aimed to enhance the biological control of San Jose scale via evaluating the biological characteristics of Aphytis sp. to optimise its mass-rearing. The host development stage with the highest oviposition and offspring emergence was determined. Longevity, daily egg production throughout life, and daily offspring emergence in the first 10 days of life were studied. Offspring production at different parasitoid densities was evaluated, incorporating parasitoid interference and using scales for host-feeding. Results showed greater oviposition and emergence in adult female scales compared to the second nymphal instar, regardless of scales being young or pre-reproductive females. The parasitoids had a median adult life span of 10 days, with the highest oviposition on the first day. However, offspring emergence was low during the first five days. Mass production levels approached those of individual parasitism at a density of 13 scales per parasitoid per day. These findings suggest an optimised production scheme for Aphytis sp., enhancing profitability for producers and contributing to sustainable agroecosystems via reducing the need for chemical insecticides.

Comments
Endemic to Andaman Islands. Sixty-five individuals were captured of which 22 specimens were collected from many locations throughout the Islands from North Andaman (the northernmost sighting was from Chipo) to Little Andaman Island. R. andamanensis was originally describ- ed as a distinct form, though Dobson (1872: 337) stated that it “resembles R. affinis, and may be referred to the same section of the genus”. Andersen (1905 a, 1905 b) observed that it might be the local representative of R. affinis on the islands. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) listed this taxon as a distinct species, though placing it under R. affinis. Sinha (1973) treated this taxon as a subspecies of R. affinis, but Bates and Harrison (1997) synonymized it with R. affinis. Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu (2012) listed it as a subspecies of R. affinis. Aul et al. (2014) misidentified this taxon as R. yunnanensis (we later inspected her collections and found them to be misidentified specimens of R. andamanensis) and reported the sightings from Paget Island, East Island, Gandhinagar, Chalis Ek, and Saddle Peak in North Andaman Islands; Interview Island, Baratang Island, and Strait Island in Middle Andaman Islands, and Little Andaman Island. Though similar to R. yunnanensis in size, the aspects that visibly separate the two taxa are the presence of three grooves on the lower lip in R. andamanensis as opposed to presence of a single groove in R. yunnanensis, and characteristic differences in the shape of the sella. R. andamanensis is separate from R. affinis under which it has been synonymized, due to its morphometrics, COI gene sequence and echolocation characteristics.

Comments
Endemic to Andaman Islands. Fifteen individuals were captured out of which seven specimens were collected. Historically this species has been recorded to be present on Narcondam Island, North Central Andaman Island, and Port Blair (Andersen, 1906, 1918; Sinha, 1973). Aul et al. (2014) reported the sightings of this species from North Reef Island, Smith Island, Gandhinagar, Chalis Ek, and Saddle Peak in North Andaman Islands; Interview Island and Baratang Island in Middle Andaman Islands; and Little Andaman Island. This species seemed to be common (vide Aul et al., 2014) on the Andaman Islands before the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. We could not detect the species from other locations reported earlier and so assume that the tsunami had a negative effect on this species. Where the species is present we found their numbers to be very few – ranging from 50 to 200 individuals. R. cognatus is represented by two subspecies on the islands, the nominotypic subspecies, R. c. cognatus, is from the South Andaman Islands, with its type locality recorded as Port Blair (Andersen, 1906), while the second, smaller (Sinha, 1973) subspecies, R. c. famulus, is from the North and Middle Islands, with its type locality recorded as North Central Island (Andersen, 1918).

description: Poultry litter (PL) hydrochars obtained at different temperatures and charring times were characterized by solid-state 1 H, 13C and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. 13C NMR spectra obtained with cross polarization (CP) and magic-angle spinning evidenced the chemical and structural changes suffered by PL during its transformation into hydrochar; these changes were particularly dependent on the production temperature rather than the residence time. The hydrochars were essentially composed of aromatic and alkyl domains at the temperature of 250 °C. 31P NMR observations were conducted using single-pulse excitation (SPE) and CP sequences to distinguish between phosphorus far from protons and protonated phosphate species. Results showed that water-soluble phosphorus was the only form detected in hydrochars through the CP sequence. In contrast, the stable phosphorus species formed during hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) exhibited broad signals, detected exclusively using the SPE sequence. This indicates that unprotonated orthophosphates were the dominant form. These NMR results offer a deeper understanding of hydrochar formation from PL, shedding light on the chemical and structural changes caused by the HTC process at the atomic scale.

New record Middle Andaman Islands: Baratang Island.
Previous records None.
Comments
First record for Andaman Islands (Srinivasulu et al., 2016). A single adult female specimen was collected. The specimen is distinctly larger than H. diadema nicobarensis recorded from the Nicobar group of Islands. It showed characters similar to that of the taxon masoni, namely the presence of a small conical bony process from the symphysis of the mandible and the presence of a single median vertical septum forming a small projection above the margin of the fleshy posterior leaf of the noseleaf, dividing the posterior leaf into two large cells, and hence has been listed as H. d. masoni Dobson, 1872. This specimen is also slightly larger than the taxon masoni recorded from Myanmar and the Sunda Islands (see Srinivasulu et al., 2016).

Comments
Ten individuals were captured out of which four specimens were collected. The external and craniodental measurements of the voucher specimens match with that of H. grandis. Earlier this population was assigned to H. larvatus by Aul et al. (2014). We follow Kruskop (2015) in delineating the ranges of H. grandis and H. larvatus, with the former occurring in India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, and the latter in Java, Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra. The bacular morphology of these two taxa varies significantly, and shows a greater degree of plasticity in many isolated insular populations (Kruskop, 2015). The baculum structure of the Andaman specimens also varies from that of H. grandis from Vietnam (Kruskop, 2015), thus prompting us to list them as H. cf. grandis. A study aimed at resolving the taxonomic status of H. cf. grandis from the Andaman Islands is under preparation.

description: Thieleella Bandel, 1998
Thieleella Bandel, 1998: 35.
+ Pagodella Bandel, 1998: 2. [nomen nudum].
Type species. Scissurella amoena Thiele, 1912 (OD).
Etymology. Named after Johannes Thiele (1860–1935: Bieler & Boss, 1991).
Description. Identical to Anatoma, but protoconch with reticulate sculpture.
Differential diagnosis. Thieleella has a protoconch with honeycomb pattern, whereas Anatoma is either smooth or with flocculent ornamentation. It is virtually impossible to distinguish members of these two genera under the light microscope.
The recognition of Thieleella as distinct from Anatoma is debatable. There is only a single character, protoconch sculpture, that separates the two genera. In an exploratory phylogenetic analysis of shell and limited radular characters (no radular data available for any Thieleella species), the Thieleella species grouped together as a grade (Geiger, 2003). Additionally, in Scissurellinae, protoconch sculpture was demonstrated to be highly homoplastic, casting further doubt on the diagnostic value of protoconch sculpture used to recognize Thieleella. Thieleella is tentatively retained in agreement with actions taken by an other recent author (Marshall, 2002).

description: Welsh Indian Theory, originating in Elizabethan England, stated that a group of Welsh explorers settled in the Americas in the late 12th century and intermarried with the Indigenous tribes, thereby explaining “advanced cultures” ranging from the Mississippians to the Aztec Empire. This act of erasure became rooted in Kentucky and the surrounding area in the 18th and 19th centuries; a series of prominent individuals from Kentucky in turn contributed to a growing body of false historical narratives that denied Indigenous Americans their cultural identities and connection their ancestral lands in the United States. With a 460-year trail of scholarly debate and conjecture, the Welsh Indian Theory provides a case study of inherent cultural bias in historical research and US-Indigenous relations.

description: The spatial distribution of radon and the relevance of the placement of radon detectors relative to the entry path of radon-containing air in an experimental room was investigated. A radon emanation source was used from which the air was transported with a constant air flow into the room. The radon contaminated air was released under a floor element used for electrical wiring which has multiple holes connecting to the inner volume of the room. At 36 equally spaced lattice points in the room the radon activity concentration was measured with two different solid-state nuclear track detectors of type Radonova Radtrak and Radonova Rapidos. The radon exposure on the detectors was accumulated over 72 days. Additionally, an electronic measurement device of type Saphymo AlphaGUARD was used as reference. It indicated a radon exposition of 475(1) kBq.h/m3. The detectors of type Radtrak had a mean exposition of 564(36) kBq.h/m3 and the ones of type Rapidos 496(15) kBq.h/m3. Except for one outlier both types of detector showed a homogeneous distribution of radon in the room. Therefore, we have shown that under these experimental conditions the placement of the radon detector does not significantly influence the measurement result.

title: New Insights into the Political Psychology of Intergroup Relations: How Personality and Emotions Shape "Our" Attitudes towards "Them"
Creators: name: Hofstetter, Nathalie
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: 150 Psychology
subject: 320 Political science

description: Comprised of four empirical articles, this cumulative dissertation provides new and topical insights into the political psychology of intergroup relations. Concretely, the dissertation in its entity adds to the psychological illumination of conceptions of nationhood, attitudes towards immigrants and populist attitudes as individual-level political phenomena, which are all inextricably linked to social identities that set the ingroup (“us”) against the outgroup(s) (“them”). Adopting a political psychology perspective, the main argument is that these intergroup attitudes are driven by inter-individual, psychological differences both in personality traits as deep-seated, stable characteristics and in emotions as situationally reactive, intrapsychic processes.
Each of the four articles contributes to the relevant literature by qualifying, refining and/or expanding existing theoretical and empirical insights, often in various ways. In this vein, a first key contribution lies in providing the very first systematic personality-based explanation of varying conceptions of nationhood (article 1). Second, the recently growing literature on the psychological underpinnings of populist attitudes is supplemented by new evidence on both dispositional and affective explanations, which take the concept’s multi-dimensionality and non-compensatory nature seriously and challenge previous assumptions around the populist personality (article 2) or the role played by external crises (article 4). A third important contribution is offered by connecting different literatures to provide a more comprehensive account of the emotional mechanisms connecting pandemic threat with anti-immigrant attitudes in a real-world situation (article 3).

Creators: name: Wyck, Brian Van
Publisher: name: Bloomsbury Publishing
Year: 2024

description: This open-access book offers a critical appraisal, at the cross-section of theory and practice, of concepts of integration at work in education in diverse geopolitical settings. With chapters written by experts based in Cyprus, Ethiopia, Germany, Mexico, Pakistan, the UK and the USA, the book includes discussion of regions of conflict, post-conflict and also non-conflict societies in which a cultural hegemony has developed strategies to “integrate” groups perceived as “other”. The book challenges the idea of “integration” in education considering how it relates to inclusion and exclusion and considers the extent to which integration can be empirically studied or evaluated. By accommodating a diversity of voices and perspectives, the structure of this book critically questions the underlying hegemonic Global North-shaped assumptions that have informed the integration debate.

description: Generalizations of matrix decompositions to multidimensional arrays, called tensor decompositions, are simple yet powerful methods for analyzing datasets in the form of tensors. These decompositions model a data tensor as a sum of rank-1 tensors, whose factors provide uses for a myriad of applications. Given the massive sizes of modern datasets, an important challenge is how well computational complexity scales with the data, balanced with how well decompositions approximate the data. Many efficient methods exploit a small subset of the tensor抯 elements, representing most of the tensor抯 variation via a basis over the subset. These methods� efficiencies are often due to their randomized natures; however, deterministic methods can provide better approximations, and can perform feature selection, highlighting a meaningful subset that well-represents the entire tensor. In this paper, we introduce an efficient subset-based form of the Tucker decomposition, by selecting coresets from the tensor modes such that the resulting core tensor can well-approximate the full tensor. Furthermore, our method enables a novel feature selection scheme unlike other methods for tensor data. We introduce methods for random and deterministic coresets, minimizing error via a measure of discrepancy between the coreset and full tensor. We perform the decompositions on simulated data, and perform on real-world fMRI data to demonstrate our method抯 feature selection ability. We demonstrate that compared with other similar decomposition methods, our methods can typically better approximate the tensor with comparably low computational complexities.

description: With growing awareness among people about conservation of non-renewable energy like fossil fuels researchers and scientists are investigating a lot on how to reduce the consumption of these fossil fuels either by using alternative fuel or by improving the performance of the gadgets like vehicles, aeroplane and other energy converting devices. There are many papers publish in the past in field of aerodynamics of vehicles intended to optimize the geometry of these vehicles to reduce the fuel consumption and maximize the performance by reducing the aerodynamic drag. Researches in this field are still growing in numbers. This paper also intends to reduce the aerodynamic drag by studying the flow field around the car. This paper compares the results obtained from CFD analysis of the existing model and the modified model with a duct added to the roof of a sedan model car. The analysis is carried out using ANSYS Fluent and the car 3D model is created using CATIA V5
