Alocoelidia maurae Zahniser & Nielson 2012, sp.n.
No full text<i>Alocoelidia maurae</i> sp.n. <p>(Figs. 22–31)</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Length of male 5.6–5.7mm.</p> <p>Color yellowish or ochraceous to dark orange with dark brown or black markings (Figs. 22,23).</p> <p>Head. Frontoclypeus dark orange, black laterally below antennae, with black arched markings; laterofrontal sutures extending beyond ocelli onto crown (Fig. 26).</p> <p>Wings. Forewing corium dark orange, clavus ochraceous (Figs. 22,23).</p> <p>Legs. Profemur row AV with short stout setae extending most of length of femur; AV1 distinct; intercalary row with 7–9 relatively thick long well-separated setae extending past mid-length of femur; row AM with AM1 distinct and with several more proximal setae near base of intercalary row. Metatibia row PD setae not alternating much in length; row AD macrosetae with 2–4 small intercalary setae; apical pecten macrosetae of equal length. Metatarsomere I plantar surface with 2 poorly defined rows of small setae; apex with 5 platellae.</p> <p>Male. Pygofer more than 3x long as tall; ventral margin undulate; sclerotized dorsally nearly to midlength; with a pair of dorsal recurved spines; apex slightly expanded, terminating in upturned spine (Fig. 29). Valve fused to pygofer anteriorly, articulated posteriorly; produced medially to a point, excavated laterad of median point, and produced laterally, thus producing pair of arch shaped excavations; with distinct delimitation from subgenital plates laterally, but fused medially (Figs. 29,30,31). Subgenital plates fused basally, separated apically; subquadrate in shape; apices broad, blunt; without macrosetae (Fig. 31). Style preapical lobe large, expanded dorsally, with denticulate texture; apophysis recurved, thick basally, sharply pointed apically, interior margin of apical part serrate on one side (Fig. 27). Aedeagus with two shafts diverging from ventral part of base; shafts somewhat thick, narrowing abruptly to pointed apices; gonopores subapical on median surface (Figs. 25,28). Segment X sclerotized dorsally on apical half; broadly sclerotized laterally; lightly sclerotized ventrally at apex (Fig. 29).</p> <p> <b>Material examined.</b> Holotype ♂ (CAS): MADAGASCAR: Province Fianarantsoa, Parc National Ranomafana, Belle Vue at Talatakely, elev 1020 m., 15–22 November 2001, 21°15.99’S 47° 25.21’E, collector: R. Harin’Hala, California Acad of Sciences, malaise, secondary tropical forest, MA-02-09C-03.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> This species is named in honor of the first author’s niece, Maura M.Wiggers.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> It is notable that the valve is partially fused to the pygofer in this species. In the other species of the genus and in other closely related genera (e.g. <i>Caelidioides</i>, <i>Iturnoria</i>) the valve is completely articulated with the pygofer. The partially fused state in this species suggests that the completely fused condition present in the crown group Acostemmini shows some variability in the earlier lineages of the tribe.</p>Published as part of <i>Zahniser, J.

Authors as Others and Others as Authors : Mikhail Bakhtin's Early Theories of the Relationship Between the Author and the Hero
No full textNote:The soviet thinker Mikhail Bakhtin, whose works, belatedly published and translated, have recently come to have a considerable influence on Western literary theory, devoted his most provocative early essays to questions of the relationship between the author and the character. The theories contained in theseessays attempt not only to give an account of the artist's act of creation, but also to establish analogies between the aesthetic activity of "authorship" and the everyday activity of interpersonal perception, between the author's relations to the hero in art and the self's relations to the other in life. This thesis offers an exposition of the two main texts in which Bakhtin deals with these questions, "Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity," and Problems of Dostoevsky' s Poetics, and an examination of Bakhtin's theories both from the point of view of their accuracy as descriptions of the creative act and from that of their analogical applicability to the domain of interpersonal relationships
Arbejdsliv i Norden : Udfordringer og forslag
No full textUanset en række forskelle fra land til land i Norden i henseende til struktur og politik på arbejdsmarkedsområdet i bred forstand, så er der en kerne af fælles arbejdsformer, normer og værdier, som tilsammen definerer karakteren af arbejdslivet og arbejdsmarkedspolitikken i de nordiske lande, som gør det meningsfuldt at tale om ”den nordiske model”, og som på væsentlige punkter skiller sig ud fra forholdene på arbejdsmarkedet i de fleste andre lande – både i Europa og i resten af verden. Udfordringerne og mulighederne for at identificere nye ideer, der kan styrke samarbejdet i Norden på arbejdslivsområdet kan opdeles i fire kategorier: • Substantielle, fællesnordiske emner • Institutionelle emner i det nordiske samarbejde • Det nordiske arbejdsmarked • EU.

Oral history with Utah author Jennifer Nielsen, October 16, 2024
No full textJennifer Nielson, a Utah native, grew up in Bountiful and attended Weber State University with a double major in theater arts and communication education. She began writing as a hobby and found professional success after numerous rejections, eventually signing with Scholastic. Her breakout book, The False Prince, became a trilogy and received profound reader feedback, including life-saving testimonials. Nielson emphasizes the importance of creativity and imagination in education and founded the Book Drop initiative to provide free books to low-income students. She actively engages with young readers and supports the Utah literary community through events like the Storymakers conference
Anvendelsesforpligtet grundforskning på læreruddannelsen
No full text Siden 2013 har læreruddannelsen fået pligt til at bedrive forskning og udvikling (FoU) som en del af kerneopgaven. Denne opgave er blevet implementeret på meget forskellige måder på landets læreruddannelser. I denne artikel argumenterer jeg for, at FoU skal balancere et ideal om transformation af praksis gennem udfordringsbasering og løsningsorientering, samtidig med at der skal ydes et substantielt bidrag til forskningsfeltet. FoU skal ligeledes balancere et ideal om praksisnærhed og medinddragelse samtidig med et ønske om generaliserbarhed og skalering. Artiklen afsluttes med en introduktion til interventionsforskningen som et konstruktivt bud på en ramme og struktur, der kan rumme ovenstående fordringer. To be able to differentiate between approaches to teachers’ professional development, Cochran-Smith and Lytle have developed three conceptions of the relationships between teachers’ knowledge and their practice. One of these, Knowledge-of-practice, is the basis for this article, as we use Lesson studies to exemplify the potentials of approaches within this conceptualization. In Japan, Lesson studies are used in all subjects, whereas in the West the approach predominantly is used in Mathematics and with a focus on pedagogical content knowledge. Based on a lesson study case in the subject of Danish, we argue that approaches as lesson study provide teachers the possibility to research and solve teaching problems with a focus simultaneously on pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge.</jats:p
A Husband's Impression of the W.I. Day

Ferentosh West W. I.
A Husband's Impression
Of The W. I. Day
The W. I. did meet today,
To plan their work and make it pay.
Before • it starts there's lots of talk
Of weather and frost and lack of crop.
And also the sale was out of luck
For now it's harder to make a buck.
The price of beef is out of line,
And the price of pigs is on a decline.
Thess discussed, they decided to meet.
In the hostess's front room, which is clean arid
neat.
The lounge and the chairs are carefully
brushed
To fool those keen eyes that are looking .
dust.
" O Canada" first, and then comes the creed,
Their corsets are loosened and their voices
are freed.
The babble arises; they all talk at once,
Try figuring it out, you'll feel like- a dunce.
Reports are read out with a semblance of
order,
" Oh, I must go home and feed our poor
boarder."
So the meeting is closed, and then the whole
bunch
Sit gracefully around awaiting their lunch.
When the last car is gone and you've heard
the last shout,
The hostess relaxes, falls flat on the couch.
Those ladies are lovely, each one is a dear;
But thank the good Lord they come just once
a year
