Year: 2018

description: Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer; in 2018 about 90,000 new cases and 9,000 deaths are expected in the United States.  Our group described the oncogenic potential of a normal neuronal cell receptor, metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1), when aberrantly expressed in melanocytes, the pigment producing cells.  Deregulated melanocytic cell proliferation leads to neoplastic transformation and progression to spontaneous metastatic melanoma in a transgenic mouse model.  The natural ligand of mGluR1 is glutamate and it is well known that all cells, particularly cancer cells, depend on glutamine/glutamate for growth.  We showed that mGluR1 expressing cells establish autocrine/paracrine loops by secreting glutamate to the extracellular space to ensure constitutive activation of the receptor, mGluR1 and promote cell growth.  Treatment of these cells with pharmacological inhibitor of mGluR1 or through genetic manipulation by silencing RNA to reduce the receptor expression, render the receptor nonfunctional and led to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase followed by apoptotic cell death.  Riluzole is FDA approved for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and one of its functions is the inhibition of glutamate release.  This allows the drug to function as an antagonist to mGluR1 activity.  Examination of riluzole treated melanoma cells reveals elevated levels of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX), a protein marker for DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs).  Furthermore, increased ROS levels and decreased intracellular glutathione were also detected in riluzole-treated melanoma cells.  We hypothesize that riluzole interacts with the glutamate/cystine antiporter (xCT) to reduce glutamate efflux and cystine influx. Cystine, when reduced to cysteine, is a critical component in glutathione synthesis.  Limiting the influx of cystine reduces glutathione levels in the cell, resulting in oxidative DNA damage.  The overall goal of this thesis is to determine the consequences of riluzole-induced DNA damage when an ROS scavenger such as N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is included in the growth media.  Effects on DNA damage was assessed using protein markers for single-stranded and double-stranded DNA breaks (SSBs).  Alkaline and neutral conditioned COMET assays are used to ascertain the types of riluzole-induced DNA damage.   Lastly, by using flow cytometric intracellular staining analysis and guided by the presence of inhibitors to two different DNA repair pathways we were able to conclude that the oxidative damage induced by riluzole is likely DSBs and at Non Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) repair pathway is the preferred double strand break pathway used by mGluR1-expressing melanoma cells.

description: The proliferation of wearable technology enables the generation of vast amounts of sensor data, offering significant opportunities for advancements in health monitoring, activity recognition, and personalized medicine. However, the complexity and volume of this data present substantial challenges in data modeling and analysis, which have been tamed with approaches spanning time series modeling to deep learning techniques. The latest frontier in this domain is the adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as GPT-4 and Llama, for data analysis, modeling, understanding, and generation of human behavior through the lens of wearable sensor data. This survey explores current trends and challenges in applying LLMs for sensor-based human activity recognition and behavior modeling. We discuss the nature of wearable sensors data, the capabilities and limitations of LLMs to model them and their integration with traditional machine learning techniques. We also identify key challenges, including data quality, computational requirements, interpretability, and privacy concerns. By examining case studies and successful applications, we highlight the potential of LLMs in enhancing the analysis and interpretation of wearable sensors data. Finally, we propose future directions for research, emphasizing the need for improved preprocessing techniques, more efficient and scalable models, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the intersection between wearable sensors data and LLMs, offering insights into the current state and future prospects of this emerging field.

description: Occlusal contacts are the locations at which the occluding surfaces of the maxilla and the mandible posterior teeth meet. Occlusal contact detection is a vital tool for restoring the loss of masticatory function and is a mandatory assessment in the field of dentistry, with particular importance in prosthodontics and restorative dentistry. The most common method for occlusal contact detection is articulating paper. However, this method can indicate significant medically false positive and medically false negative contact areas, leaving the identification of true occlusal indications to clinicians. To address this, we propose a multiclass Vision Transformer and Fully Convolutional Network ensemble semantic segmentation model with a combination hierarchical loss function, which we name as Hierarchical Fully Convolutional Branch Transformer (H-FCBFormer). We also propose a method of generating medically true positive semantic segmentation masks derived from expert annotated articulating paper masks and gold standard masks. The proposed model outperforms other machine learning methods evaluated at detecting medically true positive contacts and performs better than dentists in terms of accurately identifying object-wise occlusal contact areas while taking significantly less time to identify them. Code is available at https://github.com/Banksylel/H-FCBFormer.

Halecium nullinodum Fraser, 1935b: 109, pl. 2, fig. 7.
Type. BCPM 976-00489-001: Japan, Okino-se, shoal outside of Sagami Bay, 22 September 1933, 91 – 110 m, labelled "type"; dry.
Type locality. Japan: Okino-se, outside of Sagami Bay, 100–150 m (Fraser 1935b).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Material of this species, from the collection of Emperor Hirohito, was sent to Fraser for identification by Dr. Hirotaro Hattori. While no specimens of Halecium nullinodum are listed in collections at the NMNS, Arai (1977) listed two collections of the species in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00489-001; BCPM 976-00489-002). However, one of these (BCPM 976-00489-002), on a slide, bears only a campanulariid colony. Specimens referable to Halecium are lacking on it, and the slide may have been mislabelled originally. The only known type material of Halecium nullinodum is therefore that in a vial at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00489-001), now dry and in very poor condition. It is unclear whether that material comprises one or more than one specimen, and whether it constitutes a holotype by monotypy or syntypes. We are therefore unable to resolve the type status of the collection. In our opinion, a neotype is needed given its unsatisfactory condition.
The trophosome and female gonophores of Halecium nullinodum were described by Fraser (1935b). He did not observe males. Hirohito (1995: 16) regarded H. nullinodum as “a problematic species”, including it with question as a synonym of H. sessile Norman, 1867. Fraser’s species is listed as valid in WoRMS.

description: Die vorliegende Hemerobiestudie der Waldökosysteme im Wiener Anteil der Lobau 2011 ist Teil des MaB-Projektes „Perspektive Lobau 2020“. Die neuentstehenden Siedlungsgebiete am Rande der Lobau (z.b. „Seestadt Aspern“) und die verbesserte Verkehrsanbindung des Gebietes bis 2020 werden den Besucherdruck im Nationalparkgebiet deutlich erhöhen und stellen somit automatisch eine potentielle Gefährdung des Schutzgebietes dar. Um diesen Gefahren frühzeitig entgegen zu treten, wurden wissenschaftliche Studien in Auftrag gegeben, welche verschiedenste Perspektiven der Lobau untersuchen sollten. Im Zuge der Hemerobieerhebung (2011) wurde der jetzige Kultureinfluss auf das Untersuchungsgebiet der Lobau in Form der „Hemerobie“ festgehalten. Die Beurteilung der im Freiland erhobenen Kriterien orientierte sich vorwiegend an der Studie „Hemerobie Österreichischer Waldökosysteme“ von GRABHERR et al. 1998. Für die Analyse der Hemerobie wurden auf 39 Stichprobeflächen, unterschiedlicher Waldbiotope, umfangreiche Erhebungen der Vegetation und eine genaue Dokumentation der Hemerobiekriterien durchgeführt. Die Interpolation der Ergebnisse in die Fläche ergab für einen überwiegenden Anteil der Waldflächen im Untersuchungsgebiet (~ 80%) eine Einstufung der Hemerobie als »alpha-oligohemerob«. Für rund 4% der Flächen resultierte eine Zuordnung zu der Klasse »beta-mesohemerob – alpha-oligohemerob«. Rund 7% werden demnach der Hemerobiestufe »beta-mesohemerob« und ~4% der Hemerobiestufe »alpha-mesohemerob« zugeteilt.

Halecium pygmaeum Fraser, 1911: 48, pl. 4, figs. 1, 2.
Type material. None known to exist.
Type locality. USA, Washington: San Juan Archipelago (Fraser 1911).
Current status. Invalid.
Remarks. Fraser (1911: 48) based his description of this small species on hydroids in the collection of Prof. Trevor Kincaid (1872–1970) of the University of Washington. No types are known to exist. Specimens of the species from the San Juan Archipelago at the NMNH (USNM 70852: USA, Washington, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet, Port Townsend, coll. H. Moon; ethanol) are from a different collection (that of H. Moon; Fraser 1911: 4) and are not believed by us to constitute type material. Another collection of the species exists at the NMNH (USNM 43655), but there is no evidence that T. Kincaid was the collector. Non-type specimens also exist in the Fraser collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00491-001: China Hat, 21 August 1912; BCPM 976-00491-002 and BCPM 976-00491-003: China Hat; BCPM 976-00492-001: Hayama, Sagami Bay, September 17, 1933) (Arai 1977). Only female gonothecae were observed originally. Those of the male were described later (Fraser 1914a; 1937a).
Halecium pygmaeum Fraser, 1911 is listed in WoRMS as a junior subjective synonym of Halecium mirabile Schydlowsky, 1902. Hirohito (1995) recognized it as a valid species, but noted its similarity to H. repens Jäderholm, 1907. In some works (Dons 1912; Broch 1918; Schuchert 2001a), H. mirabile and H. repens have been regarded as synonyms or questionable synonyms of H. curvicaule Lorenz, 1886.

title: Sicherheitspolitische Probleme unserer Zeit, ist Europa vorbereitet?
Creators: name: Wasilewski, Krzysztof

description: In der folgenden Arbeit soll ein Fokus auf die europäische Sicherheitsstrategie gelegt werden. In Zeiten der Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise wird die Neuordnung der Welt in einem multilateralen System beschleunigt. Europa kann dabei als ein Verlierer hervorgehen. Die (wirtschaftliche) Schwächung der USA und die daraus resultierenden Sparmaßnahmen im Militärhaushalt können sich negativ auf Europa auswirken. Europa ist abhängig von Energieimporten und diese Abhängigkeit wird sich in naher Zukunft noch steigern. Dadurch wird es anfälliger auf regionale Konflikte welche außerhalb seines Territoriums stattfinden. Diese bedrohen die Wirtschaftskraft des Kontinents und somit seinen Wohlstand und die daraus resultierende Sicherheit. Damit aber diese Bereiche geschützt bleiben, muss Europa sich die Möglichkeit bewahren Konflikte außerhalb seiner Grenzen, die zu einer Bedrohung werden, auch mit militärischen Mitteln zu beseitigen. Wenn Europa das nicht schafft, wird es über kurz oder lang seine Position im multilateralen System verlieren. Aufstrebende Länder wie China und Indien und deren Energiehunger verschärfen die Konkurrenz für Europa auf dem Weltmarkt. Daher ist es für Europa wichtig seine Wirtschaft stabil zu halten. Neueste Entwicklungen zeigen aber, dass Europa derzeit alleine nicht dazu fähig ist. Die Gründe dafür sollen hier dargestellt werden.
description: In the following work I would like to focus on the European security strategy. In times of economic and financial crisis changes in the multilateral system are increasing. The economic weakness of the USA evoked through the crisis is one of the phenomena that we deal with today. This leads to austerity measures in military expanses of the US-Military which can affect the rest of the world. Europe is dependent on energy imports and this dependency will grow in the near future. This also makes Europe more vulnerable for regional conflicts in areas from where they import energy from. These threats take a major effect on European economy and this leads to unsecure forecasts concerning the wealth development on the continent. But the security of Europe is the outcome of its wealth status and that is why it is a crucial point that needs to be secured. But to secure this, Europe needs to maintain the possibility to intervene (also military) in regional conflicts outside its borders to protect its own interests. If Europe does not manage to do so it will lose its position in the multilateral system. New uprising powers like China and India and their need of energy will also increase the problems of Europe. That’s why it is a crucial need of Europe to keep its own economy stable and secure from side effects. But the newest developments show that Europe is not able to secure the own interests by itself. In the following work I would like to show what the reasons for this are.

description: We aim to establish a scalable scheme for characterising diagonal non-Clifford gates for single- and multi-qudit systems; \(d\) is a prime-power integer. By employing cyclic operators and a qudit T gate, we generalise the dihedral benchmarking scheme for single- and multi-qudit circuits. Our results establish a path for experimentally benchmarking qudit systems and are of theoretical and experimental interest because our scheme is optimal insofar as it does not require preparation of the full qudit Clifford gate set to characterise a non-Clifford gate. Moreover, combined with Clifford randomised benchmarking, our scheme is useful to characterise the generators of a universal gate set.

description: DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) is the sole
target of camptothecin (CPT) and other
Top1 poisons [1] that are widely used drugs
for treatment of colon cancer and other
malignancies. Our previous studies have
shown that Top1 is also an important target
for the fluoropyrimidine polymer F10
reviewed in [2], and that Top1 poisoning
plays an important, but relatively undefined
role in thymineless death (TLD),
the process by which inhibiting de novo
thymidylate synthesis causes DNA damage
and cell death. While Top1 poisoning is an
important aspect of TLD, thymidine deprivation
may also cause DNA damage by
Top1-independent pathways, such as replication
fork collapse, and these multiple
sources of DNA damage may provide the
basis for the very strong potency of F10 relative
to alternative DNA damaging agents
observed for many types of malignant cells.
Elucidating the DNA repair pathways activated
in cells treated with F10 relative to
CPT can provide insight into how Top1
poisoning induced by fluoropyrimidine
drugs differs from traditional Top1 poisons,
and also clarify which aspects of the
DNA damage response are activated by
Top1-independent processes.

Type locality. USA, Massachusetts: off Martha’s Vineyard, 39°54’N, 69°51’30”W, 134 fm (245 m) (Fraser 1941b).
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. From the original description, Fraser (1941b) appears to have established Halecium tensum on the basis of a single colony. After examination and description, his “ type ” of the species was returned to collections at the NMNH (USNM 22926). The specimen count is correctly given as “1” in the online database of that museum, and no other type material is known to exist. While currently listed therein as a syntype, it is taken here to be the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. 73.1.2).
According to Fraser (1941b), this species somewhat resembles Halecium kuekenthali Marktanner- Turneretscher, 1895, it but differs in having a more rigid and less branched colony as well as longer internodes that lack annulations. Gonophores were lacking in the holotype, and the species has not been reported again. It is listed as valid in WoRMS.

description: A growing body of work has examined the relationship between media and politics from an agenda‐setting perspective: Is attention for issues initiated by political elites with the media following suit, or is the reverse relation stronger? A long series of single‐country studies has suggested a number of general agenda‐setting patterns but these have never been confirmed in a comparative approach. In a comparative, longitudinal design including comparable media and politics evidence for seven European countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), this study highlights a number of generic patterns. Additionally, it shows how the political system matters. Overall, the media are a stronger inspirer of political action in countries with single‐party governments compared to those with multiple‐party governments for opposition parties. But, government parties are more reactive to media under multiparty governments.

description: Das Pankreaskarzinom zählt zu den bösartigsten Tumorarten. 2005 wurden in Österreich insgesamt 1318 Todesfälle verzeichnet, davon 650 Männer und 688 Frauen. Die Diagnose erfolgt für eine erfolgreiche Therapie meist zu spät. Das liegt vor allem an den uncharakteristischen und sich oft über Monate entwickelnden Symptomen. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet einen interessanten Überblick über die Konzentrationsverläufe von Erlotinib und seinen Metaboliten OSI-420. Es wurden 100 mg/Tag peroral verabreicht. Es konnte keine Kumulation beobachtet werden, dies ist vor allem bei kontinuierlicher Verabreichung klinisch relevant. Der Hauptmetabolit OSI-420 wird zu rund 2-10 % (bezogen auf die Plasmakonzentration von Erlotinib) gebildet. Die gewonnen Daten stimmen mit der aktuellen Literatur überein und sind somit sehr aussagekräftig. Das bedeutet, dass im Falle der Therapie eines Pankreaskarzinoms keine Änderung der Erlotinib–Pharmakokinetik zu beobachten ist. Weiters ist trotz der geringen Anzahl der Patienten, eine Interaktion mit Arzneistoffen der Prä- oder Co- Medikation nicht erkennbar.

Type locality. USA, Alaska: Gulf of Alaska, SE of Trinity Islands, halibut grounds, 50 fm (91 m) (Fraser 1914b).
Current status. Valid, as Hydrodendron carchesium (Fraser, 1914b).
Remarks. The hydroid briefly described as Ophiodes carchesium by Fraser (1914b) was found in a small collection from halibut grounds in the Gulf of Alaska, provided by Dr. Arthur Willey of McGill University, Montreal, Canada. The specimen, sterile and simple in morphology, was growing as an epizoite on a bryozoan colony. Material in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00508-001), comprising a single colony consistent with both the descriptive account and illustration in Fraser (1914b: figs. 1a, b), is considered by us to be the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. 73.1.2). The specimen and its bryozoan substrate have now slipped beyond the coverslip of the slide, but are still embedded in Canada balsam.
Known only from the original account, the species is listed as Hydrodendron carchesium in Rees & Vervoort (1987), Cairns et al. (2002), and WoRMS. The specific name carchesium is a noun in apposition (Latin: a kind of drinking cup) and need not agree in gender with any generic name with which it is combined (ICZN Art. 31.2.1).
The family Phylactothecidae Stechow, 1921a is recognized here as valid following Choong et al. (2018). Included within it are H. carchesium and other species of the genus Hydrodendron Hincks, 1874.

description: Fokus dieser Arbeit soll es sein, den Truppenübungsplatz Allentsteig von seiner Errichtung bis zur heutigen Situation aufzurollen. Dabei wurde versucht, nicht nur seine militärische Funktion für das Österreichische Bundesheer niederzuschreiben, sondern vielmehr eine gesamtheitliche Analyse zu dokumentieren. Was ist nun damit gemeint? Die Wichtigkeit des Übungsplatzes für militärische Zwecke steht außer Frage, doch müssen auch wirtschaftliche, organisatorische, ökologische und soziale Aspekte beachtet werden. Der Autor beschäftigte sich neben den Organisationsstrukturen des Truppenübungsplatzes auch damit, die Heeresforstverwaltung auf der einen und die wirtschaftlichen Verflechtungen mit der Stadt Allentsteig auf der anderen Seite zu analysieren. Es wurde auch versucht, ökologische Zusammenhänge im Zuge der Bearbeitung darzustellen, was die Auseinandersetzung mit der Naturschutzthematik widerspiegelt. Ebenso war es dem Autor ein Anliegen, die soziale Komponente nicht zu vernachlässigen. Bei Überlegungen, wie er diese in die Diplomarbeit integrieren könnte, wurde er darauf aufmerksam, dass die Einheitskommandanten des Aufklärungs- und Artilleriebataillons 4 in den meisten Fällen aus anderen Bundesländern stammen. Deshalb rückten soziale Beziehungen zwischen Soldaten anderer Bundesländer und der Waldviertler Bevölkerung in den Fokus. Die Bearbeitung dieser eben aufgezählten Themen sollte den Lesern tiefere Einblicke in das Gebilde Truppenübungsplatz Allentsteig gewähren.

Remarks. (Fraser 1936a) established Ophiodes corrugata based on sterile material. Several colonies appear to have been available to him in describing the species (see Fraser 1936a, 504; 1947a: 281). Specimens, taken to be syntypes, exist on a slide at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00509-001). No other types are known to exist. As lectotype, we have selected a 1.8 mm-long specimen with several hydrothecae and nematothecae. That colony (RBCM 976- 00509-002) is on the left side of the slide, with all others mounted with it constituting paralectotypes (BCPM 976- 00509-001).
The species was reported again, but not described, from San Miguel Island, California (Fraser 1948). Rees & Vervoort (1987), Cairns et al. (2002), and WoRMS refer to this hydroid under the binomen Hydrodendron corrugatum.

description: The natural van der Waals superlattice MnBi2Te4-(Bi2Te3)m provides an optimal platform to combine topology and magnetism in one system with minimal structural disorder. Here, we show that this system can harbor both ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders and that these magnetic orders can be controlled in two different ways by either varying the Mn-Mn distance while keeping the Bi2Te3/MnBi2Te4 ratio constant or vice versa. We achieve this by creating atomically engineered sandwich structures composed of Bi2Te3 and MnBi2Te4 layers. We show that the AFM order is exclusively determined by the Mn-Mn distance whereas the FM order depends only on the overall Bi2Te3/MnBi2Te4 ratio regardless of the distance between the MnBi2Te4 layers. Our results shed light on the origins of the AFM and FM orders and provide insights into how to manipulate magnetic orders not only for the MnBi2Te4-Bi2Te3 system but also for other magneto-topological materials.

description: In dieser theoretischen Arbeit wird auf das Leben von Ludwig von Mises eingegangen und sein Schaffen im Zeitablauf dargestellt. In weiterer Folge werden im ersten Schritt die klassischen Theorien der Nationalökonomie, des Historismus und der österreichischen Schule betrachten. Von dieser Ausgehend stellen wird kurz das Forschungsprogramm Ludwig von Mises dar. Die Praxeologie, die Lehre vom menschlichen Handeln schlechthin, hat eine starke philosophische Fundierung. Daher müssen die philosophischen Grundlagen, welche Voraussetzung für das Verstehen der Praxeologie sind, reflektiert werden. Nachdem die Lehren Kants, Webers und der Neukantischen Schule ausreichend dargestellt wurden, wird im zweiten Schritt die Praxeologie als eigene Wissenschaft dargestellt. Die Essenz der Praxeologie sind die Kategorien, mit denen wirtschaftliches – aber auch jedes andere Handeln – erkannt und verstanden werden kann. Im Abschlusskapitel wollen wir der Bedeutung Ludwig von Mises in der Gegenwart nachgehen.

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung des politischen Systems während der Präsidentschaft Wladimir Putins (2000-2008). Mit Hilfe demokratietheoretischer Ansätze, der Berücksichtigung der Vorentwicklungen unter Boris Jelzin und der Untersuchung zentraler Teilregime einer staatlichen Ordnung (etwa Wahlen, Rechtssystem, Wirtschaftssystem) sollte, bei Fokus auf einen akteurszentrierten Handlungsansatz, eine demokratiepolitische Bewertung des Präsidentschaft Putins ermöglicht werden. Dadurch sollte Sichtbar werden, dass – in Anlehnung an das Konzeopt der „defekten Demokratie“ - wesentliche Minimalkriterien einer Demokratie so weit verletzt wurden, dass das politische System unter Putin keiner defekten Demokratie mehr entsprach, sondern bereits eine milde Form eines autoritären Systems herausgebildet wurde. Eingebettet ist dies in die Transitions- und Konsolidierungsforschung, wodurch ersichtlich werden sollte, dass Russland bereits unter Jelzin den Weg der Konsolidierung einer Demokratie verlassen hat und, dass unter Jelzin wie auch später unter Putin vielmehr eine Konsolidierung der Macht stattgefunden hat.

Type material. None known to exist.
Type locality. Canada, British Columbia: Clarke Rock; Pylades Channel; Rose Spit (Graham Island, Haida Gwaii) (Fraser 1914a).
Current status. Valid, as Hydrodendron gracile (Fraser, 1914a), although the species needs reassessment.
Remarks. The only material of Ophiodes gracilis Fraser, 1914a in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00510-001: Canada, British Columbia, Houston Stewart Channel) is not from any of the type localities listed by Fraser (1914a) and is not part of the type series. Instead, it is from later collections made in Houston Stewart Channel, a passage separating Moresby and Kunghit islands in the Queen Charlotte Islands (=Haida Gwaii) (Fraser 1936b).
Fraser’s (1914a) account of this hydroid, assigned by Rees & Vervoort (1987) to Hydrodendron Hincks, 1874 as H. gracile, was based on sterile material. Specimens examined by Antsulevich (1987, 2015) from the Pacific coast of the Russian Federation lacked gonophores as well. Meanwhile, fertile hydroids assigned to the species by Millard (1973, 1975, as H. gracilis) are unlikely to have been conspecific. Indeed, records of H. gracile outside the boreal North Pacific, and especially from tropical waters, need to be re-considered. Hydroids of this species, identified as Plumularia magellanica moneroni by Naumov (1960) from Tatar Strait (Gulf of Tatary), Russian Federation, are almost certain to be distinct from Plumularia magellanica Hartlaub, 1905 (= Kirchenpaueria magellanica) (Horia R. Galea, personal communication, 22 March 2018). Naumov’s specimens were also sterile.
The species was included as H. gracile in Cairns et al. (2002), following Rees & Vervoort (1987), and as H. gracilis in the current WoRMS list. When combined with the genus Hydrodendron (gender: neuter), the specific name must agree in gender and becomes gracile instead of gracilis (Rees & Vervoort 1987).

title: Chinas langer Marsch zum Global Player
Creators: name: Schiffl, Thomas Anton

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Problematik Chinas als Global Player. Nachdem eine Arbeitsdefinition für einen Global Player hergeleitet wurde, galt es zu überprüfen, ob die Volksrepublik diese Kriterien, auch erfüllt und wenn ja, welche Konsequenzen bzw. Herausforderungen dieser Status nach sich zieht. Nach der Zielermittlung oder der Veranschaulichung von Kerninteressen, um den chinesischen Terminus zu verwenden wurde offenbar, dass China zwar, völlig zu Recht behauptet weder Regionalmacht noch langfristig Global Player sein zu wollen. Es aber jedoch aufgrund vieler Faktoren von der restlichen Welt so aufgefasst wird. Herausforderung dieser Arbeit war es anhand der Beispiele des afrikanischen Kontinents und des autonomen Gebiets Xinjiang, jene Auswirkungen des chinesischen Aufstieges zu analysieren und zu bewerten um damit eine Klärung der Frage nach dem Warum der internationalen Wahrnehmung herbeizuführen. Ergebnis des vorliegenden Papiers ist, dass China aufgrund seiner Zielformulierung und seiner geopolitischen Faktoren, Maßnahmen zur Erhaltung seiner Kerninteressen setzen muss und sich darum der Fokus auf Afrika und Xinjiang entwickelt hat. Anhand der ausgewählten Räume lassen sich diese Initiativen darstellen und erklären durch ihre Konsequenzen warum China trotz gegenteiliger Eigenwahrnehmung, letztlich nicht anders kann als sich zur globalen Macht zu entwickeln. Dementsprechend erklärt sich die Reaktion der internationalen Akteure auf einen Global Player der sich am Marsch wider Willen und da nahe am Ziel befindet.
description: This paper deals with the problem of China as a global player. Following a definition of the term “global player”, the question is posed whether the People’s Republic of China really meets this definition, and, if so, which consequences and challenges derive from this. An illustration of its goals and core interests, to use Chinese terminology, make it clear that China may state that it has no interest in being a regional power or, in the long term, a global player, but that there are many factors that make the rest of the world perceive China as just such a power. The challenge of this paper was to analyse the consequences of China’s rise using examples from the African continent and the autonomous region of Xinjiang, so as to determine the reason for the international community’s perception of China. The results are that China’s goals and geopolitical factors make it necessary for it to take measures for the preservation of its core interests, and therefore focus on Africa and Xinjiang. The examples of Africa and Xinjiang illustrate initiatives and help to explain why China, despite its self-perception, cannot avoid developing into a global power, which, in turn, explains the reaction of the other international actors. The People’s Republic of China may not want to achieve this status, but it is already close to it.

description: OBJECTIVE: This study examined postrelease patterns of Medicaid coverage and use of services among persons with severe mental illness who were referred for expedited Medicaid enrollment before their release from state prisons, county jails, and psychiatric hospitals in Washington State during 2006, the first year of a new policy authorizing this practice.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort design was used with linked administrative data to identify persons with severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression) who were referred for expedited Medicaid enrollment from state prisons (N=252), county jails (N=489), and psychiatric hospitals (N=507). For each cohort, logistic regression was used to compare those who were approved for expedited Medicaid with those who were not approved; for the 30-, 60-, and 90-day periods after release, Medicaid enrollment status and use of outpatient mental health services were also compared.
RESULTS: Approval rates were higher for persons released from psychiatric hospitals (91%) and state prisons (83%) than for those released from jails (66%) (p<.001). Across settings, approval was more likely for those with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and for women (p<.001), as well as for whites and older offenders (p<.01). At the 90-day follow-up, those who were approved were more likely than those who were denied to be enrolled in Medicaid (p<.001) and to have used outpatient mental health services (p<.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Expediting Medicaid benefits for persons with severe mental illness was associated with increased enrollment and outpatient mental health service use in the 90 days after release from state prisons, county jails, and psychiatric hospitals in Washington State.

Zygophylax carolina.— Rees & Vervoort, 1987: 71.
Zygophylax carolinus Cairns et al., 1991: 24.
Holotype. See Remarks below.
Type locality. USA, Washington: San Juan Archipelago (Fraser 1911).
Current status. Valid, as Zygophylax carolina (Fraser, 1911).
Remarks. Fraser (1911) described Lictorella carolina from a single detached specimen that may not have constituted a complete colony. Rees & Vervoort (1987) considered an “imperfectly preserved specimen labelled: ‘ Lictorella carolina Fraser. San Juan. T. Kincaid’" in the NMNH to be type material and probably the holotype of the species (No. 70625, with No. 34084 on a separate label). The collection could not be located in the online database of the NMNH under either number during this study. Neither could the specimen be found during a visit by one of us (DRC) to the NMNH in September 2017. Hydroids of L. carolina in the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM (BCPM 976-00334-001: Trinity Islands, 20 August 1914, 91 m, dry; BCPM 976-00335-001: Gulf of Alaska) (Arai 1977) are not types.
Additional information on morphology of this species, beyond the original description, exists in Fraser (1914b). Rees & Vervoort (1987) remarked that the hydroid, as Zygophylax carolina, was “insufficiently described” and founded on sterile material. Nevertheless, Z. carolina has been listed as valid in Cairns et al. (2002, as Z. carolinus), Antsulevich (2015), and WoRMS.

description: Die nukleare Teilhabe, also die Stationierung von taktischen Nuklearwaffen in Nicht-Nuklearwaffenstaaten als tragende Säule der NATO-Nuklearpolitik, hat seit Ende des Kalten Krieges ihre militärische Funktion eingebüßt. Diese Arbeit hat sich das Ziel gesetzt ein Lösungskonzept für eine mögliche Beendigung der nuklearen Teilhabe in der NATO herzuleiten. Im ersten Kapitel sollen mithilfe eines Problemaufrisses die wichtigsten Eckpunkte und Akteure der Debatte identifiziert werden. Im zweiten Kapitel sollen auf Basis eines akademischen Diskurses sieben Autoren (Autorengruppen) für oder gegen den Erhalt der nuklearen Teilhabe argumentieren und ihre Positionen mit Konzepten und Vorschlägen untermauern. Im dritten Kapitel werden diese Konzepte auf ihre Sinnhaftigkeit geprüft um abschließend, mithilfe der gewonnen Erkenntnisse, Empfehlungen für eine Beendigung der nuklearen Teilhabe formuliert.
description: The nuclear sharing, which includes the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to non-nuclear weapons states is still a key pillar of NATO's nuclear deterrence policy. After the end of the Cold War nuclear sharing has lost its military purpose. This thesis has set its goal to derive a solution concept for a possible termination of nuclear sharing in NATO. In the first chapter the general problems of the issue will be identified by outlining key points of elevation and relevant actors. In the second chapter seven authors (or groups of authors) argue on the basis of academic discourse for or against the preservation of nuclear sharing and support their positions with concepts and proposals. In the third chapter, using the knowledge gained throughout the process, recommendations for ending nuclear sharing will be formulated.

description: Pison nubilipenne Pulawski, species nova
Figures 716 -720.
 NAME DERIVATION.– Nubilipennis (neuter: nubilipenne) is derived from two Latin words: nubilus, Latin for cloudy¸ and penna, Latin for wing; with reference to this species partly cloudy wings.
 RECOGNITION.– Pison nubilipenne is an all black species with three submarginal cells, the second recurrent vein interstitial with the second intersubmarginal vein, and the setae appressed on tergum I. The female (the male is unknown) can be recognized by the silvery setae completely concealing the clypeus and the ventral half of the frons (Fig.717), in combination with the bicolored forewing: the medial and submedian cells are translucent, contrasting with the infumate remaining part of the wing (Fig. 719). The ocellocular distance equal to 1.8 × hindocellar diameter is a subsidiary recognition feature.
 DESCRIPTION.– Frons dull, finely punctate, punctures less than one diameter apart. Occipital carina joining hypostomal carina. Gena narrow in dorsal view (Fig. 718). Labrum not emarginate. Anteromedian pronotal pit round, about as wide as half midocellar diameter. Scutum not foveate along flange, without short longitudinal ridges adjacent to posterior margin; scutal punctures fine, less than one diameter apart. Tegula enlarged. Mesopleural punctures fine, less than one diameter apart; interspaces merging into tiny ridges under scrobe. Postspiracular carina present, about half as long as midocellar diameter. Metapleural sulcus costulate between dorsal and ventral metapleural pits. Propodeum with irregular longitudinal carina separating side from dorsum and posterior surface and extending from gastral socket area toward spiracle; dorsum irregularly obliquely ridged (ridges inconspicuous); side finely ridged, punctate between ridges; posterior surface conspicuously ridged, punctate between ridges. Posteroventral forefemoral surface minutely, closely punctate. Punctures of tergum I fine, less than one diameter apart. Sterna punctate throughout, punctures of sternum II about 2-3 diameters apart mesally.
Setae silvery, erect on postocellar area, appressed on scutum and tergum I (scutum with a few suberect setae as long as 0.3 × midocellar diameter); on lower gena suberect, curved apically, slightly shorter than midocellar diameter; completely concealing integument on clypeus and lower frons. Apical depressions of terga with silvery setal fasciae.
Body all black; forewing bicolored: medial and submedian cells translucent, contrasting with infumate remaining wing part (Fig. 718).
