Allotype <b>♀</b> (MZNA 716544), direct capture in pine forest, 18.III.2014.</p> <p> Paratypes: 8 <b>♀</b>, 11 <b>Ƌ</b>, 1 immature (28.X.2013 – 29.X.2014), all from Vedado de Eguaras, Bardenas Reales, Navarra, Spain (42.25°N, 01.52°W).</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The species name <i>istia</i>, feminine, is derived from the ancient Greek term “ <b>ἱστία</b> ”, for the noun ‘sail’, and it also applies to the Vela constellation. It refers here to the flat triangular keel protruding in the middle of the embolic base of the male pedipalp, resembling the triangular sail of a ship (TK in Fig. 2A).</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Males are distinguished by the presence of a triangular keel (TK in Figs 2 A–B, 3C) at the base of embolus, clearly seen in the ventral view, widely spaced between a prolateral bulge (PB in Figs 2 A–B, 3A, C) and the terminal plate from which the embolus emerges (EP in Figs 2A, E, 3C). The tibial apophysis (Figs 2 A–C, E) is long and thin, and it does not appear truncated in lateral view (Fig. 2E). The female can be distinguished by the profile of the copulatory ducts, showing an inverted U shape (Figs 2I, K, 3B).</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Description. Male (Fig. 2H): total length 4.03 (3.34–4.43); prosoma 1.78 long (1.64–1.97), 1.40 wide (1.34–1.53). Female (Fig. 2G): total length 4.72 (4.49–4.99); prosoma 2.06 long (1.64–2.16), 1.56 wide (1.36– 1.85). Leg measurements are shown in Table 1. Leg spination of holotype is depicted in Fig. 4. Colour: carapace in both sexes with yellowish median stripe, rest of carapace dark brown with faint radiating stripes. Fovea conspicuous. Abdomen reddish-brown, with vague chevron-like pattern, more evident in females. Legs yellowish.</p> <p>Palp (Figs 2 A–F, 3A, C): RTA long, slightly curved in proximal half; twice as broad at base, pointed at tip (Figs 2C, E). Cymbium with apical scopula (CS in Figs 2D, F). Base of embolus consists of three differentiated parts: a prolateral bulge (PB in Figs 2 A–F, 3A, C) divided by distinct furrow, a flat triangular keel (TK in Figs 2 A–B, 3C), and a retrolateral non-forked plate from which proximal portion of embolus emerges towards cymbium (EP in Figs 2A, E, F, 3C). Embolus takes anti-clockwise turn dorsally into cymbium and, in unexpanded palp, emerges again near prolateral bulge. Membranous conductor whitish, curved and tubular (Figs 2 A–F, 3C), arises behind prolateral bulge, runs parallel to distal tip of embolus (ED in Figs 2B, E, F, 3C), ending both ventrally to triangular keel. Median apophysis with protruding retrolateral lobe, base forming semi-circular pointed hook directed towards base of tegulum.</p> <p>Epigyne (Fig. 2I, 3B): often covered anteriorly by strong, dark plugs, densely covered by thick plumose hairs (Fig. 2J). Almost circular, posteriorly reaching epigastric furrow. Although barely noticeable as part of epigyne due to less pronounced sclerotization, there are two ear-shaped lateral shallow depressions (ESD in Fig. 2I) ending posteriorly on semi-circular hoods of copulatory openings (Ho and CO in Fig. 2K). Median septum shows flanks appearing flat and wing-like anteriorly (Figs 2I, K, MS in Fig. 3B). Visible first half of copulatory duct forms inverted U-shape (Fig. 2I).</p> <p>Vulva (Figs 2 K–L): after long course forming inverted U-shape from copulatory openings, copulation ducts, not touching medially (Fig. 2K), run briefly dorsally, loop in semicircle, before ending in small kidney-shaped spermathecae (Fig. 2L).</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Only known from the type locality.</p> <p> <b>Habitat.</b> Aleppo pine forest (<i>Pinus halepensis</i>) and immediate surroundings, within typical salt marshes of the Bardenas area.</p>Published as part of <i>Biurrun, Gabriel De, Barrientos, José Antonio & Baquero, Enrique, 2021, A new species of Agroeca Westring, 1861 from Navarra, Spain (Araneae Liocranidae), pp. 84-90 in Zootaxa 4941 (1)</i> on pages 86-87, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.1.4, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4594746">http://zenodo.org/record/4594746</a>

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Author in Essay by I. A. Goncharov “Pepiniere”
No full textFeatures of the embodiment of the author’s position in the essay by I. A. Goncharov “Pepiniere” are considered. The relevance of the study is due to the poorly studied poetics of this work. A review of the scientific literature on relevant topics is performed. Methodological and theoretical definitions are given. The scientific novelty of the article is in the fact that for the first time attention is paid to artistic techniques that allow to identify the author's position in the specified literary text. The author of the article grounds her opinion from the fact that, despite the dominance of the subjective point of view, other characters’ views stand out in the work. It is concluded in the study that the text of the work represents a biographical author and author-creator. It was established that the position of the author-creator is expressed through the title, epigraphs, which are quotes, as well as through different points of view, including the author-character, the author-narrator, the characters of the work. The author of the article dwells in detail on different ways of expressing the points of view of the author-character and the author-narrator. It is proved that the point of view of the author-character and the author-narrator can intersect, they are interchanged. The author's development of the term comic “point of view” is presented in the article
Espai i identitat en l'obra de Jordi Pere Cerdà. Una geografia literària cerdaniana
No full textL'obra de l'autor nord-català Jordi Pere Cerdà (1920-2011) teixeix una cartografia literària que abasta tota dimensió espacial -real, imaginada i ficcional. Les prospeccions que assagen els seus texts es fonen en el medi natural i rural, canten a l'amor, als veïns i als éssers fantàstics del folklore català, es comprometen amb els refugiats encarant-se a tota frontera i, també, a tot abisme interior i exterior que oprimesca l'ésser. El mapatge cognitiu i literari que crea Cerdà sobrepassa qualsevol obstacle per construir espais oberts i possibles, en comunió amb l'altre. Partint d'una aproximació teòrica geocrítica, aquest treball d'investigació aprofundeix en diverses nocions sobre l'espacialitat lligades a un context convuls, ple de transformacions a nivell socioeconòmic, polític, cultural i lingüístic, el qual determinarà la vida d'un autor i d'un territori transfronterer com el de la Cerdanya i la Catalunya del Nord. En definitiva, la rica experiència vital de Jordi Pere Cerdà ens permet reflexionar sobre les relacions que vulguem establir entre els individus i amb el nostre hàbitat natural i cultural, a fi d'esdevenir membres actius que participen de la transformació dels espais que configuren les nostres identitats.The work of the North Catalan author Jordi Pere Cerdà (1920-2011) weaves a literary cartography which reaches all spatial dimensions -real, imagined and fictional. The prospections proved by their texts merge with the natural and rural environment, sing to love, neighbours and the fantastic beings of the Catalan folklore. Such prospections also commit themselves with the refugees facing every frontier and, also, facing all interior and exterior abyss that oppresses the being. The cognitive and literary mapping created by Cerdà overcomes any obstacle to construct opened and possible spaces, in communion with the other. Based on the theoretical approach called geocriticism, this research study delves into various notions about spatiality linked to a convulsive context, full of transformations at a socioeconomic, political, cultural and linguistic level; these transformations will determine the life of an author and a cross-border territory such as Cerdagne and Northern Catalonia. In short, the rich experience of Jordi Pere Cerdà allows us to reflect on the relationships we want to establish between individuals, as well as between human groups and our natural and cultural habitat, in order to become active members that participate in the transformation of the spaces that make up our identities.Programa de Doctorat en Llengües Aplicades, Literatura i Traducci
