Epistome produced, rounded, subequal to produced upper lip. Antenna 1 with strong callynophore in female. Gnathopod 1 propodus distally narrowing. Pereopod 7 basis greatly expanded, posteriorly rounded; merus greatly expanded, approximately 3 × width of carpus. Uropod 3 rami narrow, apically acute, and lacking plumose setae in female. Telson distal margin truncate, slightly emarginate.
Distribution.
Lesser Antilles: Bonaire Island (Stephensen 1933 a; Lowry and Stoddart 1997); Panama: Bocas del Toro (present study).
Ecology and remarks.
These amphipods occur among algae and coral rubble at depths of 1– 3 m. Panamanian specimens agree closely with previous descriptions of the species, with the exception of a slightly emarginate telson, with the exception of the uropod 3, which is documented for the first time in a female. This species is easily distinguishable based on the expanded pereopod 7 basis and merus. Panamanian specimens are a translucent white color when alive.

USA: Santee River, South Carolina (LeCroy 2007); off Sapelo and Little Tybee Islands, Georgia (LeCroy 2007); Dry Tortugas (Shoemaker 1933); Gulf of Mexico from Florida Keys to Panama City (Thomas 1993; Lowry and Stoddart 1997; LeCroy 2007); Belize (Thomas 1993); Panama: Bocas del Toro (Miloslavich et al. 2010; present study).
Ecology and remarks.
These amphipods are associated with coral rubble and coarse sand at depths of 1– 80 m. Panamanian specimens agree closely with previous descriptions of the species. This species is easily recognizable by the subacute ocular lobe, produced epistome and upper lip, and slender, elongate basis of gnathopod 1. Panamanian specimens have a distinct red coloration on the tips of antennae and on the anterior half of the body and have a white snowflake pattern on the posterior half of the body when alive.

description: Objective: To determine the associations between trauma variables, acute phase-related variables, and patient-level characteristics with functional recovery during the first-year post-discharge from inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF) for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting: Two SCI Model Centers in Pennsylvania, United States. Methods: We were able to link 378 individuals with traumatic SCI between the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Outcomes Study and the National SCI Model Systems databases. Nineteen individuals with SCI were excluded due to missing data. We estimated functional recovery based on changes in functional independence measure (FIM) total motor score during the first-year post-discharge from IRF in 359 individuals with SCI, who did not have any missing data, using ordinary least squares regression (OLS). Results: After discharge from IRF the majority of individuals with SCI improved over the first-year post-injury. Individuals with cervical A-C (injury severity group) who were older had a slight decrease in motor FIM at 1-year post-injury. Regression analysis indicated that lower functional recovery was associated with being of Black and Hispanic race and ethnicity, higher injury severity group, occurrence of non-pulmonary infection during acute care, and longer length of stay at IRF (R2 = 0.36). Conclusions: Patient-level characteristics, trauma variables, and acute phase-related variables were associated with functional recovery post-discharge from IRF. Further research is necessary to collect and assess post-rehabilitation and socio-economic factors that play a critical role in continued functional recovery in the community.

Ecology and remarks.
These amphipods are associated with sand and coral rubble at depths of intertidal 0– 12 m. Panamanian specimens agree closely with previous descriptions with the exception of the almost straight posterior margin on the pereopod 7 basis, which was described by Lowry and Stoddart (1997) as slightly concave. This species is easily recognizable by the 1 - articulate outer ramus on uropod 3 and the prehensile gnathopod 1 in males. Panamanian specimens are white with brown spots when alive.

description: Objective: To validate the Chinese version of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R-C) for individuals with spinal cord injury. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Participants: 317 adults with spinal cord injury in a rehabilitation center in Mainland China. Interventions: Not applicable. Methods: The CIQ-R-C (including an additional e-shopping item), global QoL, Zung Self-Rating Anxiety/Depression Scale (SAS/SDS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were administered. Reliability and validity analyses were conducted. Results: Good item-domain correlations were found for 15 of the 16-item original CIQ-R, except for item 10 (leisure alone or with others). Exploratory Factor Analysis supported a construct of the CIQ-R-C (excluding item 10) as made of four domains (CFI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.06): home, social engagement, digital social networking, and traditional social networking. Good internal consistency and test-retest reliability were observed in the total and the home subscale of the CIQ-R-C. Satisfactory construct validity was shown by the correlation analysis among the CIQ-R-C Scale, SAS/SDS, global QoL, and MSPSS. Conclusion: The CIQ-R-C Scale is valid and reliable, and can be used to assess community integration of individuals with spinal cord injury in China.

description: Lycodon darnleyensis Macleay, 1877:38
Taxonomic status. Junior synonym of S. australis.
Synonyms. None.
Original name. Lycodon Darnleyensis Macleay, 1877:38. William Macleay (1820–1891; Fig. 17C) was an Australian naturalist and politician, who personally financed the voyage of the sailing ship Chevert to New Guinea, the first Australian foreign exploration. He named this species for one of the islands in the Torres Strait Archipelago. The species description was presented in English. The undated photograph of Macleay (Fig. 17C; public domain) is from the archives of the AMS.
Holotype. AMS R31894 (Fig. 20; Table 1), an adult female.
Type locality. “Islands of Torres Straits and Hall Sound, New Guinea ” [Darnley Island, Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia, ca. 9.5870°S, 143.7710°E, by implication]. Even though Macleay (1877) did not specify a type locality, it is unequivocally provided by the species name. Darnley (or Erub, in the indigenous language) is a small (5.5 km 2) volcanogenic island, lying only ca. 80 km off the coast of Western Province, Papua New Guinea.
Collector. The Chevert anchored at Darnley Island (called Darnly Island in the ship’s log) from 31 July–12 August 1875 (Davidson 2017). There were daily trips to the island by members of the research party, so it is not possible to pinpoint the collection date with greater accuracy.
Key characteristics of the holotype. 661 (720) mm SVL + “ 6 inches ” [152] (145+) mm TL = “ 2 feet 8 inches ” [813] (865+) mm TTL. V ♀ = 198 (198), SC ♀ = 53+ (53+), SCR ♀ = O (O), D = O-17-O (17-17-15), SL E = 4+5 (4+5), SL = 9 (9), IL = 10 (10), IL G = O (5).
Key characteristics of the species. See the account of S. australis above.
Comments. The set of infralabial scales on the right side of the holotype presents one unusual feature, a fragmentation of IL9 into two small, shallow scales, each of which we counted to arrive at our count of IL = 10 L. Boulenger (1893) synonymized the species with S. cucullatus, he indicated some doubt regarding his decision by including a question mark before the species name.

Diagnosis.
Epistome concave, subequal to upper lip. Gnathopod 1 propodus posterodistal margin straight; not sexually dimorphic. Uropod 3 peduncle length approximately 1.5 × width; outer ramus 2 - articulate. Telson apical margin slightly truncate, apical margin with four short setae medially.
Distribution.
USA: Eastern Gulf of Mexico (Lowry and Stoddart 1997); Panama: Bocas del Toro (present study).
Ecology and remarks.
These amphipods are associated with sand, coral rubble, and various invertebrates at depths of 0– 29 m. Panamanian specimens agree closely with the description provided by Lowry and Stoddart (1997). This species is easily recognizable by the concave epistome and the short uropod 3 peduncle and 2 - articulate outer ramus. Panamanian specimens have an orange-brown coloration with white stripes along the pereonite edges when alive.

description: Background: Community pharmacy practice is rarely considered in ethical research, although various ethical conflicts are known for this setting. Data on the actual frequency and perceived burden of ethical conflicts occurring in the community pharmacy setting are required. Aim: The survey aimed at investigating the frequency and perceived burden of ethical conflicts, reasons for the perceived burden and influences on decision-making in ethical conflicts in German community pharmacists. Method: An online survey was conducted among community pharmacists. It contained 15 ethical conflicts in which the ethically required action conflicts with another principle (e.g. law). Basing on these conflicting principles, 12 considerations relevant for decision-making were defined (e.g. solidarity principle). Participants were asked to rate the ethical conflicts in terms of frequency and perceived burden and to rate the influence on decision-making for the considerations. Results were analysed descriptively. Results: Five hundred and thirty-five questionnaires were evaluated. The participant’s median age was 39 (min–max: 20–78) years, 378 (71%) were female. Seven of the 15 predefined ethical conflicts were rated as occurring predominantly at least once a week. “Generic drug is not most suitable” was rated as the most frequent. Three ethical conflicts were rated mainly with a (very) strong burden. “Concerns for an unborn child” was rated as the most burdensome. Three of the 12 predefined decision-making considerations: pharmaceutical knowledge, legal requirements and personal values were rated primarily as having a very strong influence on decision-making. Conclusion: Pharmacists in community pharmacies are frequently affected by burdensome ethical conflicts in patient care situations.

Thysanarthria brittoni Balfour-Browne, 1951: 215.
Thysanarthria brittoni: HEBAUER (1997: 267, catalogue); HANSEN (1999: 105, catalogue).
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♂ (BMNH), ʻType // W ADEN PROT / Wadi at foot of / Jebel Harir / ca. 5,000 ft / 1,2. xi.1937 // B. M. Exp. to / S. W. Arabia / H. Scott & / E. B. Britton / B. M. 1938-246 // J. Balfour-Browne det. / Thysanarthria / brittoni Type!ʼ.
Redescription. Body length 1.6 mm, maximum body width 1.0 mm. Head and labrum black, pronotum and elytra uniformly yellowish; legs reddish to yellowish. Head with weak microsculpture on interstices; punctation sparse, each puncture bearing pointed seta. Eyes separated by 3.1× the width of one eye in dorsal view. Pronotum with sparse setiferous punctation similar to that on head; interstices with weak microsculpture. Elytra with 10 striae sharply impressed except anteromedially (near scutellar shield) where neither striae nor serial punctures are visible; interval punctation sparse, setiferous; interstices without distinct microsculpture. Aedeagus (Figs 4 K–O) c. 0.5 mm long. Phallobase strongly widened at base of parameres, c. as wide as bases of parameres combined, strongly constricted at c. midlength, slightly bent in lateral view. Paremere widely rounded basally, slightly narrowing in apical third, apex rounded, apices divergent from each other. Median lobe narrow, membranous apically, without subapical projections; apex reaching c. level of apex of parameres; gonopore transversely oval, situated in distal third.
Variability. BALFOUR- BROWNE (1951) mentions that the dorsal microsculpture of the head and pronotum, which is very weakly developed in the holotype, is stronger in some of the paratypes which are hence externally undistinguishable from T. atriceps.
Differential diagnosis and discussion. Thysanarthria brittoni is very similar to T. atriceps in all characters including male genitalia, which only differ in the proportions of the parameres including their slightly diverging apices, and by the more strongly constricted phallobase (see under T. atriceps for details). The difference of the genitalia of T. brittoni from the examined specimens of T. atriceps is bigger than the observed intraspecific variability of T. atriceps, which is the reason why we consider T. brittoni a separate species at the moment.
Biology. Unknown.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in western Yemen, Arabian Peninsula (BALFOUR- BROWNE 1951).

Ecology and remarks.
These amphipods are associated with algae and coral rubble at depths of 2– 69 m. Panamanian specimens closely resemble previously described specimens and can be readily distinguished from Shoemakerella lowryi Gable & Lazo-Wasem, 1990 based on the pereopod 6 basis posterior margin, pereopod 7 propodus length relative to the carpus length, and the telson apex. Panamanian specimens are yellow-orange in color when alive.

DMPs as Management Tool for Intellectual  Assets by SMART-metrics
Creators: name: Grasso Toro, Federico
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The presentation emphasizes the importance of Data Management Plans (DMPs) in research data management, highlighting their potential role in organizing, processing, sharing, and managing data throughout the research process. It introduces the SMART approach (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) as a methodology to enhance DMPs' effectiveness into a project management role, especially during the proposal stage. The alignment of DMPs with SMART metrics ensures thorough planning, execution, and accountability, reducing the risk of setbacks and deviations from objectives. Integrating Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) into the framework also allows for systematic evaluation of technology maturity and readiness of the intellectual assets, aiding in progress monitoring and adaptation of research strategies. The presentation shows a simple example. Finally, it proposes support services for data stewardship teams to assist Principal Investigators (PIs) and researchers in implementing this project management framework effectively.

description: Thysanarthria bengalensis Hebauer, 2001
(Figs 1A, 5 K–M, 11)
Thysanarthria bengalensis Hebauer, 2001: 395.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: ♂ (SMNS), ʻEAST PAKISTAN / Dinajpur / X-1969 Barbe // HOLOTYPUS / Thysanarthria / bengalensis sp.n. / des. F. Hebauerʼ.
Redescription. Body length 2.2 mm, maximum body width 1.3 mm. Head and labrum black, pronotum and elytra uniformly yellowish; legs reddish to yellowish. Head with strong mesh-like microsculpture on interstices; punctation sparse, each puncture bearing pointed seta. Eyes separated by 3.0× the width of one eye in dorsal view. Pronotum with sparse setiferous punctation similar to that on head; interstices with strong mesh-like microsculpture. Elytra with 10 striae, sharply impressed except basally; intervals distintcly convex at midlength and near apex; interval punctation sparse, setiferous; interstices with very faint mesh-like microsculpture. Aedeagus c. 0.6 mm long. Phallobase wide at base of parameres, strongly constricted at midlength into a very narrowly tubular basal part, bent in nearly right angle in lateral view close to parameral base, c. 1.3× longer than parameres. Paremeres wide, c. of same width throughout, arcuately bent, cut off apically and projecting into a small denticle apicomesally. Median lobe not examined as it is absent (damaged) in the holotype.
Differential diagnosis. Thysanarthria bengalensis is the largest species of the genus and differs from all other species in all elytral series (including the mesal ones) nearly reaching the base of the elytra. In the presence of strong microsculpture on the head and pronotum it resembles T. brincki and T. saurahana, from which it can be easily distinguished by the morphology of male genitalia. The form of the phallobase (extremely constricted in dorsal/ ventral views, and bent in nearly right angle in the lateral view ‒ Fig. 5M) is also unique for this species, and makes it easy to distinguish.
Biology. Unknown.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in northern Bangladesh (HEBAUER 2001).

Diagnosis.
Head ocular lobe subrectangular. Gnathopod 1 carpus as long as propodus. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner subquadrate. Urosomite 1 with dorsodistally acute carina. Uropod 3 inner ramus with two marginal spines.
Distribution.
USA: Pacific California (Shoemaker 1942); Florida from Cape Romano to the lower Florida Keys (LeCroy, 2007); Cuba? (Ortiz 1978); Panama: Bocas del Toro (present study).
Ecology and remarks.
These amphipods are associated with sand at depths of 0.5– 27 m. Panamanian specimens closely resemble previously described specimens, except for a weak callynophore in females (strong in original description) and uropod 3 inner ramus having 2 marginal spines (3 in original description). LeCroy (2007) notes that Florida specimens of L. cf magdalenensis have only one spine, suggesting that this may vary among specimens of this genus. The weak callynophore on antenna 1 of females may suggest that L. magdalenensis represents a species complex, but this can only be resolved with further examination of all collections. Panamanian specimens are white in color when alive.

Redescription. Body length 1.6 mm, maximum body width 1.0 mm. Head and labrum black, pronotum and elytra uniformly yellowish; legs reddish to yellowish. Head with strong mesh-like microsculpture on interstices; punctation sparse, each puncture bearing pointed seta. Eyes separated by 2.8× the width of one eye in dorsal view. Pronotum with sparse setiferous punctation similar to that on head; interstices with mesh-like microsculpture. Elytra with 10 striae sharply impressed anteromedially (near scutellar shield) where neither striae nor serial punctures are visible; intervals weakly convex at midlength and near apex; interval punctation sparse, setiferous; interstices without microsculpture. Aedeagus slightly over 0.5 mm long (basal part of phallobase broken in the holotype). Phallobase weakly and gradually narrowing from base of parameres to base, weakly arcuately bent in lateral view, slightly longer than parameres. Paremeres wide, c. of same width throughout, arcuately bent, apex rectangularly widened, with a denticle apicolaterally. Median lobe pointed apically, widening to the level of gonopore, more basally slightly constricted again, subapically with a pair of triangular projections; apex not reaching the level of apex of parameres; gonopore transversely oval, situated below the base of paired projections.
Differential diagnosis. Thysanarthria brincki is easy to recognize by the unusual shape of the parameral apices which are widely rectangular with a small anterolateral spine; in this character it slightly resembles T. cardamona sp. nov. but differs from it in parameres c. of the same width throughout (compared to the parameres wide basally and strongly constricted in distal third in T. cardamona.
Biology. Unknown.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality in Sri Lanka (HEBAUER 2001).
