Mus., 10: 574. Diagnosis. The species is distinguishable from other species of Micardia by the white stripe covered most area of the discal cell on the forewing. Material Examined. JAPAN: Yokohama, IX. 1877, coll. Jonas, 13 (Holotype) (BMNH, photograph examined). Distribution. China (Zhejiang), N. Korea, Japan. Remarks. The holotype is examined from photos from the BMNH. A male specimen was first recorded from China by Hampson (1910). It is labelled as "C. China, Kiukiang, Snowy Valley, W.B. Pryer" and "Chekiang" (provided by Mr. M. R. Honey). There is a discrepancy for the locality between "Kiukiang" (Jiujiang, Jiangxi) and "Snowy Valley" (nr. Ningbo, Zhejiang). Because there is another label, namely "Chekiang", we report the species from Zhejiang following the advice of M. R. Honey. We also have not found the species in our collection.Published as part of Chen, Fuqiang & Xue, Dayong, 2012, A review of Micardia Butler, 1878 from China (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Eustrotiinae, pp. 45-52 in Zootaxa 3417 on page 51, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.28195

Ex-ante evaluation of tightening environmental policy: the case of mineral use in Dutch agriculture
Get PDFNon-point source pollution is notoriously difficult to asses. A relevant example is mineral emissions in the Netherlands. Since the mid 1980s the Dutch government has sought to reduce emissions through a wide variety of measures, the effect of which in turn is monitored using modeling techniques. This paper presents the current generation of mineral emission models from agriculture based on microsimulation of farms in combination with a spatial equilibrium model for the dispersion of manure from excess regions with high livestock intensities within the country to areas with low livestock intensities. The micro-simulation approach retains the richness in the heterogeneity of farm household decision making that are the core cause of the difficulty of assessing non-point source pollution, while using the best available data to track corresponding pollution. Using scenario analysis we are able to assess the possible effects of further tightening of agro-environmental policy.micro-simulation, spatial-equilibrium model, non-point source pollution, Environmental Economics and Policy,
Finnmarksloven er vedtatt. Om de vesentligste endringene i loven i forhold til regjeringens lovforslag i Ot.prp. nr 53 (2002-2003)
Get PDFThe Finnmark Act was recently approved in the parliament by a clear majority. A half-century discussion
concerning land rights of the Saami people has culminated in an Act concerning the «right to
land and water» in Finnmark County. The legislative history of the Act covers approximately 25
years, and started when the Saami Law committee was appointed in autumn 1980.
In this paper the author examines this legislative history, emphasizing the main changes in the
adopted act in relation the disputed bill to the parliament in spring 2003 (Ot.prp. nr. 53 (2002-2003).
Pursuant to the Act, a land commission and special tribunal will be established that will clarify
and settle land rights questions. The author observes that the land consolidation court, as proposed
by the Saami Law committee, is not given any place in the Act.
Finally, the author remarks that the changes from the bill of 2003, up to the adoption of the Act in
June this year, have led to an act which is a major step forward in giving the people in Finnmark
County rights to their natural resources and common land. The Act also represents strong support
for the land rights of the Saami people
Regaining Motor Control in Musician's Dystonia by Restoring Sensorimotor Organization
No full textProfessional musicians are an excellent human model of long term effects of skilled motor training on the structure and function of the motor system. However, such effects are accompanied by an increased risk of developing motor abnormalities, in particular musician's dystonia. Previously we found that there was an expanded spatial integration of proprioceptive input into the hand area of motor cortex (sensorimotor organisation, SMO) in healthy musicians as tested with a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigm. In musician's dystonia, this expansion was even larger, resulting in a complete lack of somatotopic organisation. We hypothesised that the disordered motor control in musician's dystonia is a consequence of the disordered SMO.
In the present paper we test this idea by giving pianists with musician's dystonia 15 min experience of a modified proprioceptive training task. This restored SMO towards that seen in healthy pianists. Crucially, motor control of the affected task improved significantly and objectively as measured with a MIDI piano, and the amount of behavioural improvement was significantly correlated to the degree of sensorimotor re-organisation. In healthy pianists and non-musicians, the SMO and motor performance remained essentially unchanged. These findings suggest a link between the differentiation of SMO in the hand motor cortex and the degree of motor control of intensively practiced tasks in highly skilled individuals
Farming on the Edge in Poland. Options for Improving Farm Incomes for the Main Types of Farms after Joining the EU
Get PDFThe aim of the paper is to examine the financial impacts of introducing the Common Agricultural Policy into the Polish farming sector after the accession to the EU. Aggregated results from farm level modelling using linear programming for 210 farm types representing the variety of Polish farms, and 90% of the agricultural sector are presented. The benefits of the negotiated subsidy arrangements are unequally distributed and only a partial solution to low farm family incomes.EU accession, Polish Agriculture, direct payments, typical farms, farm model., Farm Management,

Remarks A lectotype is designated in order to provide nomenclatural stability to this taxon. The hindwing of this species usually bears a blackbrown patch on the underside that is discernable on the upperside, except in specimens from Burma (Fig. 3) (in one specimen the patch is visible only on the underside and in another it is absent on both sides). In specimens from Burma, the apex of the valva in the male genitalia is rounded and the coremata are very weak; in specimens from Dharmsala (Fig. 10), Sikkim (Fig. 11), and Tsetchong (Yunnan, China) (Fig. 12) the apex is much more pointed and coremata are well developed. In specimens from Dharmsala and Tsetchong the costal basal process is much broader than in specimens from elsewhere. Owing to subtle differences in the genitalia, specimens from Burma may represent a distinct species; however, the examination of more material, especially females, is necessary before such a conclusion can be drawn.Published as part of Hongxiang, Han, Hongmei, Li, Dayong & Xue, 2006, Revision of Chlororithra Butler, 1889 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Geometrinae), pp. 29-39 in Zootaxa 1221 on pages 31-36, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17257
