Ortheziidae

description: Family ORTHEZIIDAE Amyot & Serville
The family Ortheziidae is considered to be one of the most ancient families of Coccomorpha (Koteja 1996; Vea & Grimaldi 2012, 2016), being either ancestral to all other scale insects or a ‘primitive’, isolated branch of the archaeococcoids (Vea & Grimaldi 2012, 2016). It currently contains 24 genera and 214 species (García Morales et al. 2016). The two ortheziid species currently known from Iran belong to the genera Orthezia Bosc d’Antic and Ortheziola Šulc.
Appearance in life: In life, some ortheziid species occur on leaf veins and twigs in association with sooty mould growths, where they are often quite conspicuous; others live in leaf litter or moss, or underground. The adult females secrete symmetrical white wax plates on the dorsum and margins. A long, often fluted ovisac present attached to the posterior end of the body (not the host); this is carried about by the mobile female like a white flag (hence the common name, ‘ensign scales’). The legs and antennae are quite long and usually dark brown (Watson 2022b).
Diagnostic characters: The most diagnostic characters of the family Ortheziidae are (Fig. 85): adult female circular or oval; antennae (Fig. 85A) each with 3‒8 segments, apex with a thick terminal seta; eyes (Fig. 85B) each situated on a short stalk; legs (Fig. 85C) usually as long as body, leg setae robust, spine-like or hair-like, each leg with fused trochanter and femur; atrium of thoracic spiracles (Fig. 85D) often with multilocular pores just outside each opening; abdominal spiracles (Fig. 85E) numbering 4‒8 pairs; pores in derm (Fig. 85F) mostly quadrilocular, rarely multilocular disc pore or clustered pores present; anal ring (Fig. 85G) located on surface at apex of abdomen, containing pores and bearing setae; ventral ovisac band (Fig. 85H) usually present, composed of spines and pores; body with a few slender setae and numerous rather stout spines, latter grouped in definite bands and clusters.

Subjects: Artistic gymnastics Rings Strength Swallow Cross Support scale

description: On rings in men’s artistic gymnastics, a high degree of relative maximum strength is crucial to present up to seven strength elements in the required quality in the routine. To increase this specific strength and strength endurance the coaches often prolong the holding times of those elements by using the devices counterweight and additional weight in training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictability of the maximum resistance (MR) (minimal counterweight/maximum additional weight) at five and seven seconds holding times based on the MR at three seconds of the elements Iron Cross (C), Support Scale (SS) and Swallow (S) and to provide coaches with a reliable conversion table that predicts the individual training weights at different holding times. Ten male gymnasts of the Swiss National Team performed a specific static MR-Test (three, five and seven seconds holding time) of the elements C, SS and S. The results showed a significant decrease in MR as holding time increased (t-Test: p < 0.001). The standard error of estimate (SEE) and explained variance (R2) revealed that the prediction of MR at five seconds (SEE 0.52 kg to 1.03 kg, R2 0.92 to 1.00) was more accurate than at seven seconds holding time (SEE 0.95 kg to 2.08 kg, R2 0.88 to 0.98). Based on the linear regression equations, a useful conversion table was established that predicts the MR at five and seven seconds holding time based on the three seconds MR at each of the tested elements.

Pursuit of Happiness?
Creators: name: Ferrario, Marco
Publisher: name: Syllogos - Herodotus Journal
Year: 2024

description: This paper engages with recent scholarship on Herodotus’ understanding of Persian (ideologies of) imperialism. It is suggested that the Histories offer a coherent counter-narrative of Achaemenid history as one of (successful) conquest and, ideally, never-ending expansion. Critical episodes of royal campaigns across imperial borderlands are scrutinized to prove this argument. Against the background of long-standing ancient Near Eastern conceptions of kingship and rulership as resting upon divinely sanctioned success, Herodotus’ account of Persian military failures calls into question the king’s foundational claims to authority and, with them, the very rationale of his empire’s place in the world: to bring ‘happiness for mankind’. By contrast, Herodotus crafted the Histories as an act of mimicry of and resistance to said project. He developed his masterpiece within the framework of, and as a reaction to, discourses about history and empire which, under the Great Kings, seem to have been more widespread, constructed and impactful than usually thought.

title: Exploring mucoadhesive and toxicological characteristics of novel water-soluble polymers synthesised by modifying linear polyethyleneimine with various anhydrides
Creators: name: Fu, Manfei
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: Linear polyethyleneimine (L-PEI) has been extensively used in various fields, such as 
pharmaceutical formulations, gene delivery, and water treatment. Though L-PEI is 
considered as a potential gene delivery vector or as a pharmaceutical excipient, the 
applications of L-PEI are limited as L-PEI displays relatively high toxicity and low 
biocompatibility. The secondary amine groups within L-PEI can interact with cell 
membranes and the extracellular matrix, and these interactions are predominantly 
electrostatically driven. Herein, we selected succinic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, 
methacrylic anhydride, crotonic anhydride and maleic anhydride to modify L-PEI to improve
functionality and lower its toxicity. Firstly, L-PEI was prepared by fully hydrolyzing 
commercially available poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOZ, 50 kDa) and then reacted 
with different anhydrides. The obtained succinylated L-PEI, phthaylated L-PEI, 
methacrylated L-PEI, crotonylated L-PEI and maleylated L-PEI were fully characterized 
using 1
H-NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, turbidity-pH measurements and 
electrophoretic mobility. The resultant polymers (succinylated L-PEI, phthaylated L-PEI 
and maleylated L-PEI) were the polyampholytes which each have an isoelectric point 
(pHIEP), and two cationic polyelectrolytes methacrylated L-PEI, crotonylated L-PEI
according to their structures. Water-soluble polymers generally exhibit mucoadhesive 
activity, interacting with mucin via electrostatic effects or hydrogen bonding or/and 
formation of interpenetrating layer between polymers and mucus gel. Mucoadhesion
of polymers can provide significant opportunities when designing pharmaceutical 
formulations, such as tablets, films, patches and gels. However, the mucoadhesive 
properties of polyampholytes are rarely reported in the literature. This work thus
explored the factors affecting the mucoadhesive properties of both synthetic and 
natural polyampholytes. Turbidimetric titrations and isothermal titration calorimetry 
(ITC) were conducted to investigate the interactions between polyampholytes and 
porcine gastric mucin in solutions. Both synthetic and natural polyampholyte 
demonstrated more pronounced interactions with mucin at pH

description: Family PHOENICOCOCCIDAE Stickney
The family Phoenicococcidae contains only one species, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell. The species was originally included in the Diaspididae, as subfamily Phoenicococcinae, by Stickney (1934) but more recently, various authorities have felt that P. marlatti should be elevated to family rank. It was listed as family Phoenicococcidae by Brown & McKenzie (1962). Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell has been recorded from Iran, and is briefly reviewed.

Phoenicococcus Cockerell, 1899b: 262. Type species: Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell by monotypy and original designation. Kermicoides Tang, 1977: 24.
Diagnostic characters of the adult female: In life, body of adult female small and subspherical. In slide-mounted specimens, derm more-or-less sclerotized and covered in low, rounded dermal papillae. Antennae each 1 segmented, with apex bearing 5 short spines (some too small to be shown in Fig. 86). Legs absent or highly reduced. Spiracles each with an elongate bar without any associated sclerotized area, and a loose cluster of 12‒15 quinquelocular disc pores around opening. Anal ring situated ventrally, posterior to vulva, small, simple and heavily sclerotized, bearing posteriormost 2 setae (which appear to be on anterior of ring). Long tubular ducts (sometimes called 8-shaped tubular ducts), each with a longitudinal internal division that makes cross section of inner end appear bilocular, mostly scattered along dorsal submargin and margin, and ventrally.
Comments: The genus Phoenicococcus contains a single species, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, which occurs in Iran.

Exploring Constructions of Commitment for Women in Mid and Later Life Aged 50 to 65
Creators: name: Colquhoun, Andrea Susan
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores the way women in mid and later life understand commitment to men in heterosexual relationships. Commitment in relationships is central to human experience but is greatly under-theorised in sociological literature. This lack of knowledge is even more pronounced in relation to women in mid and later life. To date there is no empirical research which specifically addresses this area of study and generational cohorts. Over the last 40 years the Office for National Statistics has recorded a steady increase in divorce, separation and the numbers of women living alone. This research is made more significant given the size of baby boomer and generation X cohorts. 
The overarching aim of this research is to explore how women in mid and later life understand commitment to men. I specifically explore the ways duty, obligation and personal choice impact women’s perceptions of commitment. I also consider the way women’s situatedness in time influences their perceptions of commitment. 
Situating myself as a baby boomer feminist I selected snowballing as the method of recruitment. The chosen methodology for the study was a combination of secondary-source research and semi-structured interviews of fourteen women. 
I found that commitment for women is undergoing a steady transformation, informed by what I argue is the gendered nature of commitment. Women in the study reached what I have termed ‘a pivotal moment’. This represents a time in the relationship where women participants made the decision that something must change for the relationship to continue. The pivotal moment can be aligned with a form of raised consciousness, where participants were able to recognise inequality and oppression within their relationship. Once reached, the pivotal moment leads onto a new form of commitment which I term ‘curated’, where women are more able to prioritise their own needs.

(Fig. 87, Plate 5C, distribution map Fig. 91L)
Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, 1899b: 262.
Field characteristics: Usually found in crevices on palms, particularly in folds of unopened leaves or under fibres on the stems. Adult female subspherical, pinkish or reddish brown to red, partly enclosed by an amorphous mass of white, flocculent wax. Immature males produce a loose, elongate white cocoon (Gill 1993); adult male wingless (Watson 2022a).
Microscopic diagnosis: see generic diagnosis above.
Distribution: Phoenicococcus marlatti originated in the Middle East but is now known from 18 countries in the Afrotropical, Nearctic, Neotropical and Palaearctic regions (García Morales et al. 2016); in Iran, it is found in Hormozgan, Kermanshah, Sistan & Balouchestan and Yazd provinces (Moghaddam 2013).
Host-plants: The scale is mainly found on palms (family Arecaceae) but there are some records on host-plants in Myrtaceae and Pandanaceae (García Morales et al. 2016). In Iran, it has been found on Phoenix dactylifera (Arecaceae) (Moghaddam 2013).
Economic importance: Not known as a pest in Iran.
Natural enemies: None recorded in Iran.

description: Rather than preserving original objects, the conservation of contemporary art should be thought of as managing change. This raises the question of how to theoretically capture the variability of the work without losing the sense of its artistic identity. The researchers participating in the interdisciplinary project New strategies in the conservation of contemporary art propose to use a biographical approach to investigate and compare the histories of artworks, both before and after they enter museum collections. In this paper the authors claim that not only do decisive turning points in an artwork’s life occur at other moments than those conventionally recognised, but moreover, that they are made up of various and diverging timelines, to be mapped as a river’s trajectory.

Ceci soulève la question de l’évaluation théorique de la variabilité de l’œuvre sans perdre de vue le sens de son identité artistique. Les chercheurs participant au projet interdisciplinaire Nouvelles stratégies de conservation-restauration de l’art contemporain proposent d’employer une approche biographique pour étudier et comparer les histoires des œuvres d’art, à la fois avant et après leur admission dans les collections de musée. Dans cet article, les auteurs avancent que non seulement des tournants décisifs dans la vie d’une œuvre surviennent à d’autres moments que ceux conventionnellement admis, mais surtout que ces aléas épousent des chronologies variées et divergentes pouvant être enregistrées comme letracé d’un fleuve.

En este artículo los autores afirman que los puntos decisivos de inflexión de la vida de las obras de arte pueden tener lugar en momentos diferentes a los ya reconocidos convencionalmente, y además están conformados por secuencias cronológicas diferentes y divergentes, y se pueden mapear del mismo modo que la trayectoria de un río.

description: BACKGROUND: WATSU (portmanteau word: water and shiatsu) is a form of passive hydrotherapy in chest-deep thermoneutral water (35°C = 95°F = 308.15 K). It combines elements of myofascial stretching, joint mobilization, massage, and shiatsu and is reported to be used to address physical and mental issues. The objective of this systematic review (PROSPERO Registration No. CRD42016029347) and the meta-analyses was to assess the applications, indications, and the effects of WATSU to form a basis for further studies. METHODS: A search for "WATSU OR watershiatsu OR (water AND shiatsu)" was conducted without any restrictions in 32 databases. Peer reviewed original articles addressing WATSU as a stand-alone hydrotherapy were assessed for risk of bias. Quantitative data of effects on pain, physical function, and mental issues were processed in random model meta-analyses with subgroup analyses by study design. Effect sizes were expressed as Hedges's g (± 95% confidence intervals). RESULTS: Of 1,906 unique citations, 27 articles regardless of study design were assessed for risk of bias. WATSU has been applied to individuals of all ages. Indications covered acute (e.g. pregnancy related low back pain) and chronic conditions (e.g. cerebral palsy) with beneficial effects of WATSU regarding e.g. relaxation or sleep quality. Meta-analyses suggest beneficial effect sizes of WATSU on pain (overall Hedges's g = -0.71, 95% CI = -0.91 to -0.51), physical function (overall Hedges's g = -0.76, 95% CI = -1.08 to -0.44), and mental issues (overall Hedges's g = -0.68, 95% CI = -1.02 to -0.35). CONCLUSION: Various applications, indications and beneficial effects of WATSU were identified. The grade of this evidence is estimated to be low to moderate at the best. To strengthen the findings of this study, high-quality RCTs are needed. PMID: 32168328 PMCID: PMC7069616 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229705

description: Li–Mn–O thin ﬁlms were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) onto stainless steel substrates using targets containing different concentrations of added Li2O. The inﬂuence of the target composition on the stoichiometry of the resulting thin ﬁlms, the surface morphology and the electrochemical properties was studied. The application of the target with added 7.5 mol% Li2O results in an almost ideal lithium content, while all ﬁlms were still oxygen deﬁcient. The thin ﬁlms were applied as electrodes in Li//Li1+xMn2O4−δ cells (i.e. model cells for a rechargeableLi-ionbattery)andcharacterizedbycyclicvoltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge experiments. The electrochemical measurements of the thin ﬁlms conﬁrmed that the thin ﬁlms can serve as good modelsystems and that they show a sufﬁcient cyclability.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, αφορά στο σχεδιασμό ενός κέντρου ψυχικής υγείας στην πόλη των Χανίων. Το κέντρο, που πρόκειται να σχεδιαστεί, θα περιλαμβάνει δύο διακριτές λειτουργικές ενότητες, το κέντρο ψυχικής υγείας το οποίο θα αφορά στο στάδιο της πρόληψης, της διάγνωσης και της θεραπείας όλων των ψυχικών διαταραχών και μια μονάδα ψυχοκοινωνικής αποκατάστασης και επανένταξης, η οποία θα αφορά στο στάδιο μετά τη θεραπεία. Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι να καταδείξει ότι η ψυχιατρική περίθαλψη μπορεί και πρέπει να παρέχεται μόνο σε ανοιχτές δομές μέσα στην πόλη, δηλαδή σε μια εξωνοσοκομειακή δομή στον αστικό ιστό και όχι σε απομονωμένες αγροτικές περιοχές, όπως γινόταν μέχρι πρότινος. Με τον τρόπο αυτό, εξασφαλίζεται η αλληλεπίδραση των ασθενών στην κοινωνική ζωή, μέσω παραγωγικών διαδικασιών και κοινοτικών υπηρεσιών, που συμβάλλουν στην διαδικασία της επανένταξης. Η περιοχή του Κλαδισού που επιλέχθηκε για την εκπόνηση του σχεδιασμού είναι άμεσα και άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με το αστικό κέντρο, αλλά και με το φυσικό τοπίο, ώστε και μέσω της χρήσης θεραπευτικών κήπων, ως εναλλακτικό μέσο προσέγγισης της ψυχικής ίασης,  να διαμορφωθεί ένα θεραπευτικό – ανακουφιστικό περιβάλλον.
