The Politics of Reproductive Labour in Globalization

Migrazioni femminili

description: The aim of this paper is to describe the main changes globalization and the engendering of work and migration have produced in the politics of reproductive labour, and to address several important questions they raise from a political and ethical point of view. I intend to argue here that it is the privatization of care and the exploitation of reproductive labour, not its remuneration, thatconstitutes a problem today. From the perspective of both local and global justice, the privatization of care poses a threat, due the consequences it entails in terms of different purchasing power not only between rich and poor countries, but even within rich countries themselves, between higher and lower classes. Moreover, from a gender perspective, the commodification of reproductive labour today assumes forms that are functional to the reinforcement of patriarchal power structures and create an apparent conflict of interest between women, along lines of class, colour and race. At the same time, the new division of reproductive labour threatens to undermine everything that has been achieved since the 1970s, in terms of gender parity, equal division of care labour between men and women and the politics of reconciliation between labour and caring.

 
description: L’obiettivo di questo paper è descrivere alcuni dei mutamenti fondamentali che la femminilizzazione del lavoro e delle migrazioni in epoca di globalizzazione ha prodotto nella politica del lavoro riproduttivo e riflettere sui numerosi interrogativi che essi sollevano sul piano etico e politico. In particolare si intendono sostenere due tesi. Primo, dal punto di vista della giustizia locale e globale, un problema serio è posto non tanto dalla diffusa monetizzazione del lavoro riproduttivo, quanto dal suo sfruttamento e dalle conseguenze della sua privatizzazione, in particolare dal diseguale potere d’acquisto delle risorse di cura sia tra paesi ricchi e paesi poveri, sia all’interno degli stessi paesi ricchi. Secondo, da un punto di vista di genere, le forme che oggi assume la mercificazione del lavoro riproduttivo appaiono funzionali al rafforzamento di strutture di potere patriarcali. Esse creano un apparente conflitto d’interessi tra donne, rafforzando le diseguaglianze lungo le linee di classe, colore ed etnia; al tempo stesso mettono a rischio quanto è stato fatto a cominciare dagli anni Settanta per andare verso la parità, verso un’equa divisione del lavoro di cura, e in direzione di una conciliazione tra lavoro e cura.

Hemicladus decoratus Fuchs: 51. Holotype (male) in collection E. Fuchs, now in coll. Herbert Schmid (Wien, Austria). Gilmour, 1965: 647 (Catalogue); Galileo & Martins, 1991: 249 (Key); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 299 (Catalogue); Monné, 1995: 81 (Catalogue); Monné, 2005: 330 (Catalogue); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 233 (Catalogue); Wappes et al., 2006: 42 (Distribution). Type locality: BOLIVIA (Buena Vista): Ichilo, 12 may 1950. Distribution: Bolivia.
This species clearly belongs to the genus Eumimesis Bates because of the structure of the antennae, having only antennomeres 5 and 6 flattened into a lamella, the 4th slightly and regularly enlarged and the 7th not flattened. It also can be recognised by the white stripes and patches of pubescence on the elytra and the pronotum.

Harpalus loeffleri Jedlička, 1966: 238
Diagnosis. In its combination of characters, including left mandible truncate at apex and elytra not fused along suture, Ch. loeffleri is most similar to Ch. irvinei, but slightly larger (length 6.8–7.8 mm, width 3.0– 3.4 mm), dorsal microsculpture developed throughout, distinct, pronotal basal angle with a tiny acute denticle protruding laterally, elytral sutural angle narrowly rounded just at tip, metacoxa with or without an additional, somewhat large medial setigerous pore, male pro- and especially mesotarsi less widened, protarsus with only tarsomeres 2–4 and mesotarsus with only tarsomeres 2 and 3 bearing adhesive vestiture, median lobe of aedeagus relatively smaller (MLL/L 0.21–0.24 versus 0.31–0.32), slightly concave along ventral margin (lateral view) and with a wider spiny patch at middle of median lobe.
Distribution (Fig. 38, ‘red circle’ and ‘red square’). Upper sources of the Tama Koshi River in the Greater Himalaya of eastern Central Nepal and southern Tibet: Rolwaling Valley (= Himalayan longitudinal Valley in eastern Central Nepal), and Rongshar valley (= uppermost portion of the Tama Koshi Valley in southern Tibet).
Remarks. The species forms two subspecies in two geographically adjacent valley systems.

description: Tesselacauda Ross, 1951
Type species. Tesselacauda depressa Ross, 1951, from the Garden City Formation (late Tremadocian; Stairsian; Bearriverops logani Zone), southeastern Idaho, USA.
Other species. Tesselacauda kriegerae n. sp., Fillmore Formation, western Utah; T. morrisoni n. sp., Fillmore Formation, western Utah; Tesselacauda n. sp. A, Fillmore Formation, western Utah.
Diagnosis. Dorsal exoskeleton relatively flat, only slightly vaulted; anterior border forming a prominent rim; glabella large and broadly subrectangular; hypostome slightly wider than sagittally long, with small lateral spine at shoulder and slightly larger spine at posterolateral corner, entire ventral surface covered with fine, dense tubercles; twelve thoracic segments, anterior and posterior bands equally prominent, with proximal tip of anterior band extended further adaxially than posterior band, pleural furrow deep; pygidium of four segments, pleural tips bluntly terminated, anterior pleural band developed only on first two segments, sculpture of dense granules arranged into distinct rim around pygidial margin.
Discussion. Jell (1985, p. 79, pl. 32, fig. 1) assigned a partial cranidium from the Digger Island Formation (Tremadocian) of Victoria, Australia, to Tesselacauda. Peng (1990, p. 114) reassigned it with question to his new Sinoparapilekia. Boyce and Stouge (1997, p. 188) reported “ Tesselacauda sp. cf. T. depressa ” from the Boat Harbour Formation (Stairsian) of western Newfoundland, Canada, but this occurrence has never been illustrated. It is the only report of the genus from southern Laurentia (in Ordovician geography). Aitken and Norford (1967, p. 194) listed but did not describe “ Tesselacauda sp.” from the middle member of the Survey Peak Formation at Mount Wilson, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The stepped nature of the proximal tips of the anterior and posterior pleural bands on the thorax is included in the diagnosis for Tesselacauda herein and is likely synapomorphic for the group. A more comprehensive examination of other “pilekiine” thoracic segments is planned and will shed light on the extent of this morphology.

description: Camponotus (Orthonotomyrmex) vividus variety semidepilis, new variety
Worker.-Exactly like the typical form, except, that the erect hairs on the dorsal surface of the head and body are distinctly paler and only about half as numerous. The pubescence, too, is more dilute and shorter, especially on the gaster.
Described from numerous workers from Medje (type locality) and Leopoldville (Lang and Chapin). The following note relates to the specimens from the former locality: "These ants were taken out of their nest in the rather rotten portions of a tree. Their galleries were often large enough to admit one's finger. The workers, when disturbed, ran out and bit viciously. The specimens were taken about five miles south of the Nepoko while we were collecting accessories for the Museum group of okapis."

(Plate 12, figs 13–16, 18–29)
Material. Assigned specimens SUI 147587–147594, from Section MME 36.4m, Fillmore Formation (upper Tremadocian; Stairsian; Rossaspis leboni Zone), southern Confusion Range, Ibex area, Millard County, western Utah.
Discussion. Specimens retrieved from Section MME 36.4 m are from lower in the same zone as those of T. morrisoni. The sample from MME 36.4 m is in general fragmentary and sparse, but most species seem to occur also in the assemblage at MME 49.8 m. The Tesselacauda specimens, however, definitely do not belong to T. morrisoni. The dorsal pygidial surfaces of most specimens are almost completely effaced, and lack the clusters of tubercles on the distal parts of the pleurae which characterize T. morrisoni. The terminal piece, while relatively large, is about as wide as it is long, whereas those of pygidia of T. morrisoni are much longer than wide. The MME 36.4 m material seems to represent a poorly known but distinct species, the oldest member of the genus thus far recovered.

description: The inception of the VGOS R&D program in 2021 marked a pivotal milestone in the evolution of VGOS. This work serves as a catalyst for an interactive discussion, providing a platform to discuss lessons learned from these sessions while charting pathways for future VGOS observations and operational integration.Our focus revolves around the outcomes gleaned from the six VGOS R&D sessions conducted in 2022. These sessions aimed at optimizing the number and distribution of observations and scans, resulting in a significant augmentation, with observations and scans more than doubling compared to conventional VGOS sessions while simultaneously reducing the number of recorded bits. Noteworthy enhancements were observed in Earth orientation parameter estimates, showcasing improved alignment with IERS solutions and SX observations, coupled with bolstered baseline length repeatability and reduced formal errors.Furthermore, our exploration delves into the pioneering two sessions of 2023, trialing source-based VLBI scheduling. This initiative aimed at expanding the VGOS source list through the integration of new ICRF3 sources while amplifying imaging capabilities.Our findings underscore the pivotal advantages of equitably distributing observations among sources, presenting compelling benefits for the VGOS framework.This poster serves as an invitation to engage in a discussion that encapsulates the successes and insights derived from the VGOS R&D sessions. It aims to stimulate discourse on strategies for seamless integration into operational VGOS sessions, fostering a collaborative environment to utilize VGOS capabilities for future scientific endeavors.

Advancements and Challenges in Operational VLBI Scheduling Automation, VGOS, and Future Prospects
Creators: name: Schartner, Matthias
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2024

description: The coordination of telescopes is paramount in VLBI observations, where a meticulously crafted schedule determines the observations available for analysis. Recent years have witnessed substantial enhancements in VLBI scheduling, notably by the introduction of novel scheduling software within the IVS community. At the same time, the development of the VGOS network created new challenges and opportunities. This presentation provides an overview of the current VLBI scheduling landscape, highlighting advances made in automation and the integration of VGOS. The focal point of the talk is a robust, fully automated scheduling pipeline inaugurated in 2020, standing as a resounding success story. The transition to automated scheduling has demonstrated its effectiveness by significantly improving numerous observing programs. Through carefully designed optimization metrics combined with Monte-Carlo-based scheduling, human biases could be reduced while simultaneously increasing operational robustness, resulting in a higher quality of VLBI products.Moreover, the talk illuminates the current situation of VGOS scheduling, pinpointing areas ripe for improvement. Although VGOS is considered to be operational, in VGOS scheduling, there are still many unfortunately often poorly documented workarounds necessary.Open challenges and issues are examined in depth to increase community awareness. In addition, the need for greater standardization is highlighted, allowing for further automation and increased robustness. The discussion draws on insights from the VGOS R&D sessions, analyzes the methodologies used in these sessions, and suggests ways to refine VGOS operational planning.
