Gaskell’s False Serotine
Hesperoptenus gaskelli
French: Sérotine de Gaskell / German: Gaskell-Scheinbreitfligel / Spanish: Hesperopteno de Gaskell
Taxonomy. Hesperoptenus (Milithronycteris) gaskelli Hill, 1983,
“ Central Sulawesi [Indoncsial: ... River Ranu, 1°51’ S, 121° 30° E.”
Subgenus Milithronycteris. Relationships of H. gaskelli to other Hesperoptenus are unknown because it has not been included in a phylogenetic study. Monotypic.
Distribution. Known only from type locality in EC Sulawesi.
Descriptive notes. Forearm 40-1 mm (type specimen, juvenile female).
Gaskell’s False Serotine resembles Tickell’s False Serotine (H. tickelli) and the Large False Serotine (H. tomesi) but differs from both in its smaller size and teeth. Color (alcohol specimen) is rich chocolate-brown dorsally and ventrally. Hairs are more brownish at base but otherwise darker and lustrous. Muzzle is low, wide, laterally swollen, and sparsely haired. Internarial region is naked. Ears are thick, fleshy, and subquadrangular. Tragus is rather fleshy and more or less hatched-shaped. Thumb is relatively long, and second phalanx ofthird digit is shorter than first phalanx; upper surface of thumb has thin hairs; upper surface of forearm is naked; upper surface of uropatagium is sparsely haired on proximal one-half; base of tail is similarly furred above and below, with tip protruded beyond uropatagium. Skull is medium-sized, with broad non-inflated braincase; postorbital region is moderately constricted; and supraorbital region is abruptly expanded, with well-developed superior anteorbital tubercles. I? is caniniform and massive, and I’ is more or less ovate. I’ is displaced inward so that I? and C! are in contact. Condylo-canine length is 13-1 mm, and maxillary tooth row is 6 mm.

RELIGIÃO E CULTURA DA INTERNET

Publisher: name: Internet Latent Corpus Journal
Year: 2022

description: O presente artigo analisa a abordagem da Revista Adventista quanto ao uso da cultura da internet como meio de se comunicar dentro do adventismo brasileiro. A discussão se deu a partir de uma pesquisa histórico-documental, principalmente a partir da análise do conteúdo. A problemática foi, dentro disso, discutir como esse movimento entende, através de seus discursos, os perigos e benefícios desse uso da internet como um processo educomunicacional. A discussão trouxe como pano de fundo questões aspectos da globalização que trazem importantes questões: como a perda da comunidade em detrimento da individualidade provinda pelo uso e pela velocidade trazida com os novos meios comunicacionais e de transporte pode afetar a religiosidade contemporânea. Em geral, obtemos como resultado a percepção de que na Revista Adventista há uma discussão mais voltada para questões de como a internet é, por um lado, um instrumento criado por Deus para se conseguir ensinar a mensagem do movimento a mais pessoas em um menor tempo. Em outras palavras, ela seria uma criação mais do que humana, tendo na divindade sua inspiração. Entretanto, por outro lado, a análise do conteúdo produzido pelo movimento mostra também uma certa crítica a esse meio, isso está muito mais relacionado a questões de conteúdos que ali podem ser acessados e que são contrários à fé adventista do que a perigos e modificações mais amplos que esses meios podem trazer. Os resultados obtidos, assim, estão mais ligados a esse aparente paradoxo entre aceitação e crítica ao meio. Para explicar esse paradoxo foi notado que o movimento usa tais meios como ferramentas pedagógicas/de ensino, e isso que torna a cultura da internet mais aceito do que recusado. Mas, mesmo com essa ênfase, o movimento não se esquece das relações mais profundas que essa ação poderá gerar na sociedade e em seus membros. Ou seja, se pensa, em diversos momentos, como a própria adoção a um meio técnico traz tanto consequências positivas como negativas para todos os envolvidos.

description: This paper is concerned with automatic continuous speech recognition using trainable systems. The aim of this work is to build acoustic models for spoken Swedish. This is done employing hidden Markov models and using the SpeechDat database to train their parameters. Acoustic modeling has been worked out at a phonetic level, allowing general speech recognition applications, even though a simplified task (digits and natural number recognition) has been considered for model evaluation. Different kinds of phone models have been tested, including context independent models and two variations of context dependent models. Furthermore many experiments have been done with bigram language models to tune some of the system parameters. System performance over various speaker subsets with different sex, age and dialect has also been examined. Results are compared to previous similar studies showing a remarkable improvement.

description: We propose an end-to-end real-estate recommendation system, RE-RecSys, which has been productionized in real-world industry setting. We categorize any user into 4 categories based on available historical data: i) cold-start users; ii) short-term users; iii) long-term users; and iv) short-long term users. For cold-start users, we propose a novel rule-based engine that is based on the popularity of locality and user preferences. For short-term users, we propose to use content-filtering model which recommends properties based on recent interactions of users. For long-term and short-long term users, we propose a novel combination of content and collaborative filtering based approach which can be easily productionized in the real-world scenario. Moreover, based on the conversion rate, we have designed a novel weighing scheme for different impressions done by users on the platform for the training of content and collaborative models. Finally, we show the efficiency of the proposed pipeline, RE-RecSys, on a real-world property and clickstream dataset collected from leading real-estate platform in India. We show that the proposed pipeline is deployable in real-world scenario with an average latency of <40 ms serving 1000 rpm.

description: In recent years, with the rapid development of computer information technology, the development of artificial intelligence has been accelerating. The traditional geometry recognition technology is relatively backward and the recognition rate is low. In the face of massive information database, the traditional algorithm model inevitably has the problems of low recognition accuracy and poor performance. Deep learning theory has gradually become a very important part of machine learning. The implementation of convolutional neural network (CNN) reduces the difficulty of graphics generation algorithm. In this paper, using the advantages of lenet-5 architecture sharing weights and feature extraction and classification, the proposed geometric pattern recognition algorithm model is faster in the training data set. By constructing the shared feature parameters of the algorithm model, the cross-entropy loss function is used in the recognition process to improve the generalization of the model and improve the average recognition accuracy of the test data set.

description: Abstract

This research aims to prove and analyze the influence of mindset, financial literacy, psychology, information technology, purchasing decisions and investor satisfaction in purchasing in East Kalimantan. The population was 10,592 active investors, and the sample in this study consisted of 384 respondents/investors. Data were collected through a questionnaire instrument using statements with a Likert scale of 1-5. The analysis technique uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS. The results of the data analysis prove that mindset has no significant influence on investors' share purchase decisions in East Kalimantan. Still, the mindset significantly impacts investor satisfaction in purchasing shares in East Kalimantan. Financial literacy significantly affects investors' share purchase decisions in East Kalimantan, but financial literacy has an insignificant impact on investor satisfaction in purchasing shares in East Kalimantan. Psychology substantially influences purchasing decisions and satisfaction with investors' share purchases in East Kalimantan. Information technology does not significantly affect investors' purchase decisions regarding shares in East Kalimantan, but it substantially affects investor satisfaction in purchasing shares in East Kalimantan. Purchasing decisions do not significantly affect investor satisfaction when buying shares in East Kalimantan. The advice is to continue to provide regular guidance regarding forming a positive mindset, helping to improve financial and psychological understanding to investors, both old and new. Based on the results of this research, direct guidance will increase the value of purchasing decisions and investor satisfaction in purchasing shares in East Kalimantan.

Predicting the impacts of anthropogenic stress on aquatic populations: a case study in resource-consumer-toxicant dynamics
Creators: name: Woo, Timothy J.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2018

description: (M.S.) -- Towson University, 2017
description: The overarching theme of this research was bridging the gap between individual- and population-level effects of anthropogenic stressors under the current paradigm of ecological risk assessment. There is a general dissonance in scales of biological organization and energetic complexity between ecotoxicological studies and the natural environments in need of protection. Traditional toxicity tests assess stressor effects on individuals, while protection goals are generally concerned with the population level and above. Additionally, these tests largely ignore the impacts that the resource environment and the physiological state of a given individual have on toxicological outcomes. As such, the main objective of this research was to explore effects of – and interactions between – resource availability, individual physiology, and stress response at the individual and population levels using Daphnia magna as a model aquatic organism. The research began with an exploration of how manipulations to quantitative and qualitative aspects of the resource environment altered the physiology and stress response of laboratory D. magna. Among the scenarios tested, per capita food level driven by intraspecific competition in density-stressed populations was deemed the most influential on D. magna stress response. Thus, the next study assessed the outcomes of pulse toxicity of the fungicide pyraclostrobin to D. magna populations, with the hypothesis that density-dependent changes in food level per capita at various phases of population growth would result in different population stress responses. Differences in population mortality and recovery were observed at each of four population growth phases. A multi-age acute toxicity study, determining the 48h LC50 for D. magna and pyraclostrobin at three age classes and two food levels, suggested that pyraclostrobin toxicity was food- and size-dependent. Lastly, food- and size-dependent toxicity were incorporated into a bioenergetic modelling framework (DEB-IBM) as an exercise in refining model output of population-level impacts of anthropogenic stressors. In summary, the results of this research demonstrate the importance of considering the resource environment and physiology of individuals when attempting to predict the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on natural populations. While traditional toxicity tests generate general toxicity benchmarks, the use of more ‘non-traditional’ methods may greatly improve the informative capacity of experiments and the predictive capabilities of energetic models. And as the goal of ecological risk assessment is to protect populations, communities, and ecosystems from anthropogenic stressors, it is important that our methods first be able to robustly bridge the gap between individual- and population-level effects

Harmless Serotine
Eptesicus innoxius
French: Sérotine de Gervais / German: Friedliche Breitfligelfledermaus / Spanish: Eptesicus de Gervais
Taxonomy. Vespertilio innoxius P. Gervais in Vaillant, 1841,
Amotape, Piura, Peru.
Eptesicus innoxius includes espadae and punicus as synonyms. Monotypic.
Distribution. Pacific coast from WC Ecuador (including Puna I) S to NW Peru.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 44-55 mm, tall 32-41 mm, ear 12-15 mm, hindfoot 7-9 mm, forearm 34-40 mm. Females are larger than males. Dorsal hairs of the Harmless Serotine are bicolored, with blackish bases and dark brown to grayish brown tips; ventral hairs have light brown bases and buffy to whitish tips. Ears and membranes are medium brown. Tragusis relatively broad, short, and slightly curved. Skull is small, zygomatic arches are narrow and weak, braincase is narrow, and sagittal and lambdoidal crests are poorly developed or absent.
Habitat. Dry and semideciduous tropical forests in primary and secondary dry forests, disturbed forests, grasslands, leafless shrub areas, mangroves, thorn forests, and banana, papaya, and mango plantations, frequently near water bodies, from sea level up to elevations of ¢. 900 m.
Food and Feeding. The Harmless Serotine is insectivorous and has been captured foraging over water in open areas. Fecal samples contained fragments of Homoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, and possibly small Lepidoptera.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Harmless Serotines are nocturnal. Individuals were observed flying throughout the night from 19:00 h to 05:00 h. Roosts occurred under loose bark 40 cm aboveground and inside hollow trees c.1-5 m aboveground; in both cases, surroundings were open areas of at least 4 m diameter. Roosts have also been found in buildings.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Adult males are usually solitary when roosting under loose bark and can roost with different species in hollow trees, including Myotis sp. and Pallas’s Mastiff Bat (Molossus molossus). Small groups of Harmless Serotines roost in buildings, varying from 4-6 sexually segregated individuals.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCN Red List. The Harmless Serotine is locally common in some localities and occurs in some protected areas. Nevertheless,its distribution is relatively small, and tropical dry forests are facing severe deforestation resulting in loss of forest cover.

Securing borders, saving migrants: the EU's security dilemma in the twenty-first century

description: For the EU, though, coping with the challenge of migration has a double
meaning: first, it implies envisaging solutions to a phenomenon that is here to
stay. Second, it entails figuring out which kind of security actor the EU is and is
likely to be in the future: will it be an inward- looking entity committed to ‘securing’
its homeland; or will it consider the security of migrants (and their rights) as
equally relevant to the values it upholds and the external image it wants to
project? Both objectives are strategic, as they pertain to the future of the EU and
the European capability to face core challenges collectively. Hence, this chapter
focuses on the key questions framing the contributions to this collection: What is
the EU’s ambition as a security actor in the migration domain? Is the EU an
autonomous security actor vis- à-vis its member states in this domain? Is the
EU strategy with respect to migration internally consistent and comprehensive?
Does the EU deliver policies consistent with its security rhetoric and, if not, why
and with what consequences?

The Proposals for Reform of the Common European Asylum System

Subjects: SPS/04 Scienza politica

description: The reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) was much wished for both by committed Europeans and by human rights advocates more generally. Ideally, the European Union (EU) would have developed a single asylum system with equal criteria applying to all Member States and full recognition of the international protection status everywhere in the Union. This would have taken care of the primary concern of the Member States, that is, the prevention of asylum seekers’ secondary movements. The abandonment of the nation-specific prerogatives would also have allowed for a focus on the asylum seekers’ needs. However, the proposals issued by the European Commission between 2015 and 2016 in no way suggest that a uniform asylum system is on the way. This paper examines the implications of some of these proposals for the governance of asylum and for the understanding of international protection as the guarantee of specific rights to foreign citizens in need. It further assesses the proposals with respect to different conceptions of global political justice. The justice conceptions of non-domination, impartiality and mutual recognition as developed in the GLOBUS project are particularly useful in both uncovering the competing reasons behind the specific direction of the proposals for reforms, and in assessing their implications.

description: Background: Hypertension remains one of the most important modifiable risk factors for stroke and heart disease. Anti-hypertensive medications are effective, but are often not used to maximum benefit. Sub-optimal dosing by prescribers and challenges with medication-taking for patients remain barriers to effective blood pressure control.Objectives: We aimed to systematically develop a theory-based complex intervention to support General Practitioners (GPs) and people with hypertension to maximise medication use to control blood pressure.Methods: We used the three-phase Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) as the overarching intervention development framework. Collective Intelligence methodology was used to operationalise the stakeholder input to Phases 2 and 3 of the BCW. This took the form of a Collective Intelligence workshop with 19 stakeholders from diverse backgrounds including lived experience, general practice, nursing, pharmacy and health psychology. Techniques such as barrier identification, idea-writing and scenario-based design were used to generate possible intervention options. Intervention options were then selected and refined using the Acceptability, Practicability, Effectiveness, Affordability, Side-effects and Equity (APEASE) criteria and guidance from the MIAMI Public and Patient Involvement Panel.Results: The finalised MIAMI intervention consists of both GP and patient supports. GP supports include a 30-minute online training,

Lagos Serotine
Eptesicus platyops
French: Sérotine de Lagos / German: Lagos-Breitflligelfledermaus / Spanish: Eptesicus de Lagos
Taxonomy. Vespertilio platyops Thomas, 1901,
“ Lagos,” Western Region, Nigeria.
Systematic position of E. platyops is uncertain. It is often considered a subspecies of E. hottentotus or E. serotinus, but it is generally considered a distinct species based on morphology. Revision of African Eptesicus is needed. Monotypic.
Distribution. SW Nigeria and Bioko I along with an unspecified locality in Senegal.
Descriptive notes. Head-body c¢.60-75 mm, tail 40-49 mm, ear 16 mm (one specimen), forearm 45-52-5 mm. Pelage of the Lagos Serotine is silky. Dorsal pelage is pale to medium fawn (hairs brown on basal one-half); ventral pelage is paler cream to whitish (hairs with fawn bases). Bare face, ears, and membranes are brown; wings have narrow white hind border. Ears are relatively short, and inner margins are convex, with maximum curvature near basal onethird; outer margins are mostly convex with 1-2 concave sections and low rounded basal lobes; and tips are very rounded. Tragus is broad and blunt, with broadest part in middle, straight anterior margin, convex posterior margin, and small triangular lobe at base. Tail extends a couple vertebrae past margin of uropatagium, and postcalcarial lobe is poorly developed. Skull is large and robust compared with other African Eptesicus, braincase is relatively broad and high (although skull has been described as flat); forehead profile is concave orstraight; sagittal crest is very weak posteriorly; and lambdoidal crests are even weaker. I” is large, broad, flattened, and bicuspid (unlike in the Long-tailed Serotine, E. hottentotus); I’ is very small and barely exceeding cingulum of I*; and lower molars are myotodont.
Habitat. Reportedly cocoa plantations on Bioko Island and perhaps dry open woodlands in Senegal, although accuracy of this is doubtful.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Not much is currently known regarding threats and ecology of the Lagos Serotine. Specimens from Senegal and Nigeria were captured around 1900; individuals on Bioko Island were captured in the 1980s. Only five specimens are currently known, three of which came from Bioko Island. Taxonomy of the Lagos Serotine is also uncertain, and a properstatus and conservation assessments are not possible.
