description: Pleroneura subulata Shinohara, 1995
(Figs 1 G, H, 2F, J)
Pleroneura dahlii: Takeuchi, 1938: 204 (part).
Pleroneura subulata Shinohara, 1995: 832; Shinohara, 1998: 389; Blank, 2002: 202. See Shinohara (1995) for more references.
Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Shikoku); Korea; Russia (Primorskij kraj).
Host plant. Unknown.
Remarks. This species is known from three specimens from Honshu and two specimens from Shikoku, Japan and one specimen each from Korea and Primorskij kraj, Russia (Shinohara 1995, 1998; Blank 2002). No additional specimens were available for the present study.
The host plant of P. subulata is unknown. The Japanese specimens were collected at the high altitudes of about 1100 and 2100 meters in central Honshu and about 1800 meters in Shikoku, where Abies veitchii Lindley (or its variety, var. sikokiana in Shikoku) and A. homolepis (and A. mariesii Masters in Honshu) occur (Liu 1971). However, these fir species are not distributed in North Korea and Primorskij kraj, where A. nephrolepis is the only fir species recorded (Liu 1971). If P. subulata feeds on Abies as in most of its congeners (Ohmart & Dahlsten 1977; Blank 2002), the sawfly is not strictly monophagous but associated with two or more fir species. Larval oligophagy has been demonstrated at least for the western Palaearctic P. coniferarum (Hartig, 1837) (see Blank 2002). Following collection observations of adults of P. californica (Ashmead, 1898) (see Smith et al. 1977), this life trait might apply to this Nearctic species as well.

Austrothrips

description: The genus Austrothrips
The generic name Austrothrips is a particular problem because the identity of the type species remains unknown. Three further species have been described in this genus, and re-examination of the original specimens of each one has indicated that they are not closely related to each other, and that each requires a new generic placement. The genus was erected by Brethes (1915) for a single new species from Argentina, A. verae Brethes. The only recorded population of this species was collected from a Basidiomycete fungus, and the description states and illustrates that the male is wingless with no ocelli and with a prominent narrow fore tarsal tooth. But verae has not been studied by any taxonomist other than the describer, and the original specimens appear to have been lost (teste Carlos de Borbon, xi.2019). The description, and the association with a Basidiomycete fungus, suggest that verae belongs in some genus of fungus-feeding Phlaeothripinae. Indeed, Austrothrips may prove to be a synonym of Hoplothrips, a worldwide genus exhibiting much variation in structure among species (Mound et al. 2020). The name Austrothrips thus becomes a nomen dubium, as well as verae, until such time that suitable specimens can be collected in Argentina. The three other species described in the genus seem to have been placed there primarily because of the presence of long, capitate major setae on the pronotum, and the descriptions do not provide suitable character states for reassessing their relationships within the Phlaeothripinae. Original material of each of these species has therefore been studied, and each species is here transferred to a different genus.

description: For the first time, critical review on E. acuminata R. Br. (Boraginaceae) is established. A glance over its botanical description, geographic distribution, subspecies classification and traditional uses revealed its application in medical and non-medical purposes by ethnic communities in Asia and Australia. Numerous classes of phytoconstituents have been screened and isolated from E. acuminata parts, including phenolics, alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, lignans, steroids, volatile oils, and fatty acid esters. Crude extracts prepared from different parts were acclaimed with considerable to significant performance in anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, antiviral, analgesic effect, muscle relaxant, antispasmodic effects, hepatoprotective, wound healing, and photoprotective activities. However, no report linking these pharmacological activities with their isolated phytochemicals can be found which is required to authenticate its role in traditional medicine. Accordingly, the review provides a comprehensive and categorised overview towards current research of E. acuminata R. Br., their limitations, and possible perspectives for future research.

Es wurde ein neues Motivfördertraining konzipiert und in der neuropsychologischen Rehabilitation frontalhirngeschädigter Patienten (n = 16) auf seine Wirksamkeit überprüft. Methode: Die Veränderungen im Zielsetzungsverhalten, der Kausalattribution und im impliziten Leistungsmotiv wurden im Prä-Post- und Warte-Kontrollgruppen-design auch gegenüber der "treatment as usual" Bedingung untersucht. Ergebnisse: Teileffekte zeigten sich im Zielsetzungsverhalten und in der Kausalattribution. Insgesamt betrachtet blieben die Effekte aber hinter den Er-wartungen zurück. Schlussfolgerung: Die gleichzeitige Förderung von Motivation und Kognition im klinischen Setting scheint möglich, zukünftige Arbeiten müssen die Wirkweisen und spezifische Trainingsmodifikationen genauer untersuchen.
description: Abstract Background: The effect of therapeutic interventions and training is also influenced by the patient's motivation. Question: How can classical motive modification exercises be transferred into the clinical practice? Which peculiarities need to be considered? A new motivational program was conceptualized and its effectiveness was tested during the neuropsychological rehabilitation of patients with frontal brain damage (n = 16). Methods: In a pre-, post-, and control group design, the changes in the variable goal setting behavior, causal attribution and implicit achievement motive were tested in relation to the "treatment as usual'. Results: Positive partial effects appeared in the goal setting behavior and in the causal attribution. All in all the effects of the training study did not reach the expectations. Conclusions: The simultaneous stimulation of motivation and cognition in a clinical setting seems possible, future studies will have to examine the effects and the specific training modifications more closely.

description: Teuchothrips flavitibia (Moulton) comb.n.
(Figs 7–9)
Austrothrips flavitibia Moulton, 1940: 261
Described from New Guinea as taken from leaf galls on an unidentified plant, the original specimens of this species have now been re-examined. Both sexes have one sense cone on antennal segment III and three sense cones on segment IV, and these sense cones are long and slender, each extending to the mid-point of the succeeding segment. The prosternal basantra are absent and the mesopresternum is reduced to a pair of lateral triangles. These character states indicate that flavitibia is a member of the Liothrips -lineage in the Phlaeothripinae, and thus unrelated to the fungus-feeding verae. The fore tarsus of the female lacks a tarsal tooth, but the male has a large fore tarsal tooth with the fore femora rather swollen. The head, pronotum, metascutum and lateral thirds of the tergites are distinctly reticulate (Figs 7–9). Tergite IX setae S1 and S2 are capitate in both sexes, with S1 a little more than half as long as the tube, but S 2 in males is scarcely longer than the basal width of the tube. The male has no pore plate on sternite eight. This species is closely similar to several undescribed species in the genus Teuchothrips that are known from northern Australia (Mound 2008), and is here transferred to that genus.
Specimens studied. Holotype female, New Guinea, Koitaki, from galls on creeper, 28.xii.1928, in Bishop Museum, Hawaii. Paratypes, 4 females, 4 males taken with holotype, in California Academy of Sciences.

Austrothrips vanuaensis Moulton, 1944: 285
Described from Fiji based on a single micropterous male, this holotype has now been re-examined. It shares many character states with the eight described species of Solomonthrips, particularly the presence on tergite VIII of a pair of curved wing- retaining setae (Fig. 13), but also including the following: antennae with segment VIII long and slender, and two sense cones on each of antennal segments III and IV; head constricted behind the eyes with the stylets wide apart (Fig. 10); pronotum with only four pairs of major setae (Fig. 12); prosternal basantra present; pelta bell-shaped (Fig. 15); male sternite VIII without pore plate; male tergite IX setae S2 not shorter and stouter than S1. Only three other Phlaeothripinae genera share with Solomonthrips the character state of wing-retaining setae on tergite VIII (Dang et al. 2014), together with one of the six species in the genus Neurothrips (see Mound & Marullo 1996). The single species placed in Lizalothrips, described from The Philippines, shares with vanuaensis the presence of a single pair of weakly curved setae on tergite VIII, but the compound eyes are large and elongate ventrally, and the pronotum bears five pairs of major setae. The single species placed in Propesolomonthrips, also described from The Philippines, has two pairs of curved setae on tergite VIII, the pronotum with five pairs of major pronotal setae, the metanotum closely striate longitudinally, and antennal segment IV with three sense cones. Similarly, the eight species described in Phylladothrips have two pairs of wing-retaining setae on tergite VIII, but antennal seg- ments III and IV have three and four sense cones respectively. The species vanuaensis differs from the species of all four of these genera in having the pronotal anteromarginal setae minute (Fig. 12). From the described species of Solomonthrips it differs in lacking sculpture on the head and metanotum (Fig. 10), and it is unique among Phlaeothripinae in having a pair of remarkably stout, flattened setae on each of sternites VIII and IX (Fig. 14).

description: Several degradation mechanisms of concrete structures shall be investigated to define Ageing Management Programs (AMPs) of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). With many NPPs considering life extension and long-term operation, understanding and mitigating the consequences of Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR) has become paramount.After identifying the need to assess the consequences of AAR and to find a way to take into account these consequences in the assessment of structures, CNSC staff established an extensive research program to cover the analytical and experimental sides of assessing existing concrete structures. The goal of the research program was to provide technical support for developing an independent regulatory position regarding the condition assessment and the acceptance criteria for concrete structures subjected to the AAR phenomenon. The main results show that, compared with the reference shear wall, the ductility of the AAR-affected shear wall was significantly lower, and the ultimate capacity was slightly higher. The results of the experimental program were further used as input data for the numerical simulation benchmarks performed during Phases II and III of the three-phase Assessment of Structures Subjected to Concrete Pathologies (ASCET) international project of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). It was shown that the peak strength of the walls was predictable, but losses of ductility were difficult to model.This paper will first present the holistic approach undertaken to assess the properties of concrete specimens subjected to accelerated environmental conditions at the material and structural levels as well as the numerical simulations performed. The results of the benchmarks of the ASCET project will be discussed further. A brief conclusion will sum-up the overall pertinent outcomes.

description: The integrity and strength of multi-technique terrestrial reference frames, such as realisations of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), depend on the precisely measured and expressed local-tie connections between space geodetic observing systems at co-located observatories. Australia has several observatories which together host the full variety of space geodetic observation techniques, including Global Navigation Satellites Systems (GNSS), Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) and Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS) beacons.
This report documents the technical aspects of the local tie survey completed at the Mount Stromlo observatory, in Canberra in September 2018. The aim of the survey was to precisely measure the local terrestrial connections between the space-based geodetic observing systems co-located at the observatory, which include 3 International GNSS Service (IGS) stations (AU45 A 50119M001, STR3 A 50119M005 & STR1 A 50119M002), SLR (7825 A 50119S003) and DORIS (MSPB A 50119S004) infrastructure.
In particular, this report documents the indirect measurement of the SLR invariant reference point. Geoscience Australia has routinely performed classical terrestrial surveys at Mount Stromlo, including surveys in 1999, 2002 and 2003 (post-fire). A high precision survey was conducted between the survey pillars surrounding the SLR observatory. These survey pillars were monitored to ensure their stability as part of a consistent, stable terrestrial network from which local tie connections were made to the SLR and other observing systems. The relationship between points of interest included the millimetre level accurate connections and their associated variance covariance matrix.

description: This study quantified the impact of clinical clerkships on medical students’ disciplinary knowledge using the Comprehensive Clinical Science Examination (CCSE) as a formative assessment tool. This study involved 155 third-year medical students in the College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University who matriculated in 2016. Disciplinary scores on their individual Comprehensive Clinical Science Examination reports were extracted by digitizing the bar charts using image processing techniques. Segmented regression analysis was used to quantify the differences in disciplinary knowledge before, during, and after clerkships in five disciplines: surgery, internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology (ob/gyn). A comparison of the regression intercepts before and during their clerkships revealed that, on average, the participants improved the most in ob/gyn (β=11.193, p<.0001), followed by psychiatry (β=10.005, p<.001), pediatrics (β=6.238, p<.0001), internal medicine (β=1.638, p=.30), and improved the least in surgery (β=−2.332, p=.10). The regression intercepts of knowledge during their clerkships and after them, on the other hand, suggested that students’ average scores improved the most in psychiatry (β=7.649, p=.008), followed by ob/gyn (β=4.175, p=.06), surgery (β=4.106, p=.007), and pediatrics (β=1.732, p=.32). These findings highlight how clerkships influence the acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, offering valuable insights for curriculum design and assessment. This approach can be adapted to evaluate the effectiveness of other curricular activities, such as tutoring or intersessions. The results have significant implications for educators revising clerkship content and for students preparing for the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 2.

description: Because of urbanization, recycling scrap tires into energy has become more popular as a way to get rid of waste tires. Of the many techniques, pyrolysis seems feasible, attractive, and practical for producing goods like pyrolysis oil, which can be mixed with petroleum oils and used as an energy source. A mixture of tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO) and jatropha methyl ester (JME) was used as diesel engine fuel in a previous study. It was found that the JMETPO20 (JME80% + TPO20%) blend performed better than diesel operation but better than all other test blends. Additionally, it was reported that engines running on diesel performed better than those running on the JMETPO20 blend because of its higher viscosity. In this regard, an effort has been made to replace traditional diesel with the JMETPO20 blend at various preheating temperatures. A single-cylinder diesel engine with a rated output of 4.4 kW was used for the experiments, and the blend was preheated at three different temperatures: 50, 60, and 70°C. The investigations' findings were examined, contrasted with diesel, and reported in this study.
