Habitus as in Fig. 2B. Reddish brown, head usually darker, blackish brown; mouthparts fuscous brown; antennae yellowish brown; elytra with small subtriangular yellow maculae near middle; legs reddish brown, except of paler apex of tibiae and tarsi. Pubescence of body pale, evident and recumbent. Head subtriangular, coarsely and sparsely punctate, widest across eyes; eyes prominent, 1.86 times longer than temples; ocelli distinct, distance between ocelli 1.75 times as long as distance between ocellus and posterior margin of eye. Antennae elongate, relative lengths of the antennomeres I–XI: 1.54: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1.15: 1.15: 1.15: 1.15: 1.77. Pronotum subcordate, moderately convex, widest near anterior third; lateral margins arcuate at anterior twothirds and nearly straight at posterior third; punctation and pubescence as that on head; disc with shallow U-shaped depression. Scutellum subtriangular, surface with fine punctation and pubescence. Elytra subtrapezoidal, gradually dilated posteriorly, posterior angles broadly rounded; punctation and pubescence distinctly finer and sparser than those on pronotum. Abdomen broad, widest at segment IV (first visible abdominal segment), then distinctly narrowed posteriorly. Tergites with dense, fine punctation and decumbent pubescence, devoid of microsculpture; middle of the tergites IV and V with one pair of tomentose patches, but patches on tergite V smaller and less transverse. Male. Apical margin of the tergite VIII (Fig. 3G) broadly concave; sternite VIII (Fig. 3H) transverse, apical margin weakly concave; median lobe of the aedeagus (Figs 5 D–F) slightly longer than parameres; parameres somewhat asymmetrical, each slightly narrowed in anterior half, with three long apical setae; internal sac without sclerotized spines and without distinct dark membranous structures. Female. Abdominal sternite VIII without concavity apically. In other morphological characters similar with males. Comparative notes. Lesteva concava is closest to L. cooteri Rougemont in sharing similar body size, and punctation and pubescence of the head and pronotum. These two species can be readily separated by the different coloration of the body, and especially the narrower aedeagus with longer median lobe and narrower and longer parameres in L. concava. For illustrations of L. cooteri see Figs 6A, 8 A–B, 9A–C and Rougemont (2000: figs 1, 13). Distribution and nature history. China: Anhui, Zhejiang (Fig. 24). Some specimens were sifted from leaf litter near a stream in mixed deciduous forests at Mt. Tianzhu, Anhui. Etymology. The new specific epithet refers to the broadly concave apical margin of the male tergite VIII.Published as part of Cheng, Zhi-Fei, Li, Li-Zhen & Peng, Zhong, 2019, New species and new records of Lesteva Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from China, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 4560 (1) on pages 5-9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4560.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/262725

No full textHasil riset ini, menunjukkan beberapa hal pertama, Laksamana Cheng Ho merupakan seorang tokoh yang lahir di Prov. Yunnan tahun 1371 M di Desa He Dai. Kakek Laksamana Cheng Ho bernama Sayyid Ajall Shams al-Din Omar
dan pernah menjabat gubernur di Prov. Yunnan. Laksamana Cheng Ho memiliki beberapa nama diantaranya San Bao, Sam Poo Kong dan Zheng He. Laksamana Cheng Ho berlayar ke Nusantara sebagai utusan Dinasti Ming tahun 1405-1433 M & berkunjung ke Nusantara sebanyak 7 kali bersama
tokoh-tokoh muslim lainnya. Kedua, pengaruhnya yang cukup kuat dalam penyebaran Islam di Nusantara pada abad ke-15 M, sehingga dapat meningkatkan jumlah pemukiman China muslim dan muslim pribumi, impresi Laksamana Cheng Ho juga dapat dilihat pada aspek budaya arsitektur seperti
bangunan masjid, konstruksi makam Islam dan budaya tak benda. Ketiga, Laksamana Cheng Ho banyak memberikan kontribusi dalam proses penyebaran Islam di Nusantara, ia melakukan kunjungan baik di Sumatera ataupun Jawa pada pusat-pusat dagang sehingga memudahkan untuk menyebarkan Agama Islam. Sekitar abad ke-15 M, banyak masyarakat muslim China yang membentuk kelompok-kelompok masyarakat di Sumatera dan Jawa. Implikasi dari penelitian ini, mampu menjadi salah satu rujukan
dalam pengembangan penelitian tentang pelayaran Laksamana Cheng Ho di Nusantara. Riset ini juga mampu menjaga kelestarian sejarah tentang Laksamana Cheng Ho sebagai seorang tokoh muslim yang berpengaruh di Asia
Tenggara dan secara khusus di Nusantara, sebab masih banyak yang tidak mengenal dan mengetahui tentang sosok Laksamana Cheng Ho

Kemunculan Masjid Cheng Hoo Pandaan terinspirasi oleh sikap Laksamana Cheng Hoo yang menghargai keberagaman agama dan kepercayaan. Berdasarkan observasi lapangan yang dilakukan oleh penulis di Masjid Cheng Hoo Pandaan, terdapat percampuran atau kombinasi seni hias Islam dan Tionghoa. Terakhir, penulis menyarankan agar kaum Muslim di Indonesia mengedepankan perdamaian dan toleransi jika berhubungan dengan penganut agama lain karena memang hal inilah yang diperintahkan dalam Al-Quran. Masalah yang diteliti dalam skripsi ini adalah: 1. Bagaimana latar belakang dari penggunnaan ragam hias di Masjid Cheng Hoo? 2 Apa saja motif hias yang ada pada Masjid Cheng Hoo? 3 Seperti apa penempatan dari motif hias tersebut? Dalam menjawab permasalahan tersebut, penulis menggunakan beberapa pendekatan, antara lain: Pendekatan Semiotika, yang mengacu pada hubungan tanda dan acuannya. Pendekatan Historis, mencari asal-usul penggunaan ragam hias pada Masjid Cheng Hoo di Pandaan. Pendekatan Strukturalisme, melihat bagian-bagian Masjid yang terdapat perubahan dan saling menyesuaikan. Sesuai dengan beberapa permasalahan, maka penulis berusaha mencari beberapa sumber atau data-data yang berupa tertulis ataupun lisan. Kesimpulan yang diambil dari skripsi ini adalah, Masjid Cheng Hoo di Pandaan adalah sebuah bangunan berupa Masjid yang berarsitektur Tionghoa. Di dalam bentuk bangunan masjid juga terdapat beberapa unsur antara lain Islam dan Cina. Bentuk dasar Masjid Cheng Hoo di Pandaan, berupa kelenteng yang biasanya terdapat di negeri Cina dan berfungsi sebagai tempat bersembahyang bagi orang yang beragama Kong Hucu. ABSTRACT Putra, Adhitya Yuwana. 2012. Study about Varieties of Ornamental Building in Cheng Hoo Mosque in Pandaan District, Pasuruan, East Java. Essay, Department of Art and Design, State University of Malang. Supervisor (1) Drs. H.Mistaram, M. Pd, Ph. D. Supervisor (2) Drs. Anak Agung Rai Airmbawa, M. Sn. Keywords: decorative, building, mosque. Existency of Cheng Hoo Mosque in Pandaan are inspired by the atititude of Admiral Cheng Hoo who respected the differences of the religions and beliefs. Based on the author’s observations in Masjid Cheng Hoo Pandaan, there are decorative art combinations of Islamic and Chinese. Finally, the author suggest to Moslems in Indonesia to promote peace and tolerance in touch with people of other faiths because it is commanded in the Qur'an. The problems that examined in this essay are: 1. What is the background of the decorative usage in Cheng Hoo Mosque? 2. What are the ornamental motifs in Cheng Hoo Mosque? 3. How about the placement of the decorative motifs? To answer these problems, the author use some approaches, such us: Semiotics approach, which refers to the relationship between sign and referent. Historical approach, is looking for the origin of the decorative usage in Cheng Hoo Mosque in Pandaan. Structuralism approach, is seeing the changes in the mosque parts that are adjusted each other. According to those problems, the author try to find some sources or files in the both written or oral form. The conclusion of this paper is, Cheng Hoo Mosque in Pandaan is a form of building that have Chinese architecture. In the form of the mosque, there are also several other elements between Islam and China. The basic form of Cheng Hoo Mosque in Pandaan is similar with temples that is usually found in domestic China and serve as a place of religious worship for people who are Confucians.
Validity of the Novel Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging and Correlation of Cheng Lymphedema Grading for Unilateral Extremity Lymphedema
No full textOBJECTIVE: The aim was to validate the new Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging, correlate it with Cheng Lymphedema Grading (CLG) and evaluate the treatment outcomes of unilateral extremity lymphedema. BACKGROUND: No consensus has been reached for diagnosis and staging for patients with lymphedema among medical specialties. METHODS: We included 285 patients with unilateral extremity lymphedema using lymphoscintigraphy. Lymphoscintigraphy was correlated to clinical symptoms and signs, and classified into normal lymphatic drainage, partial obstruction, and total obstruction. Inter- and intraobserver reliability of Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging, correlation between Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging and clinical findings were conducted. Patients were categorized in "surgical" (n = 154) or "nonsurgical" (n = 131) groups for outcome evaluation. RESULTS: Lymphoscintigraphy found 11 patients (3.9%) with normal lymphatic drainage, 128 (44.9%) with partial obstruction, and 146 (51.2%) with total obstruction. Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging showed high interobserver agreement [intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.89 (95% confidence interval, 0.82-0.94)], and significantly correlated to computed tomography volumetric difference (r = 0.66, P < 0.001) and CLG [intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.79 (95% confidence interval 0.72-0.84)]. At a mean follow-up of 31.2 ± 2.9 months, significant improvement in the circumferential difference (from 23.9% ± 17.6% to 14.6% ± 11.1%; P = 0.03) with a mean circumferential reduction rate of 40.4% ± 4.5% was found in surgical group. At a mean follow-up of 26.6 ± 8.7 months, the nonsurgical group had increase of mean circumferential difference from 24.0% ± 17.2% to 25.3% ± 19.0% (P = 0.09), with a mean circumferential reduction rate was -1.9% ± 13.0%. CONCLUSIONS: The Taiwan Lymphoscintigraphy Staging is a reliable diagnostic tool, correlated with clinical findings and CLG, aiding in the selection of the appropriate treatment to achieve favorable long-term outcomes in unilateral extremity lymphedema
On Semialgebraic Range Reporting
No full textSemialgebraic range searching, arguably the most general version of range searching, is a fundamental problem in computational geometry. In the problem, we are to preprocess a set of points in ℝ^D such that the subset of points inside a semialgebraic region described by a constant number of polynomial inequalities of degree Δ can be found efficiently.
Relatively recently, several major advances were made on this problem. Using algebraic techniques, "near-linear space" data structures [Agarwal et al., 2013; Matoušek and Patáková, 2015] with almost optimal query time of Q(n) = O(n^{1-1/D+o(1)}) were obtained. For "fast query" data structures (i.e., when Q(n) = n^{o(1)}), it was conjectured that a similar improvement is possible, i.e., it is possible to achieve space S(n) = O(n^{D+o(1)}). The conjecture was refuted very recently by Afshani and Cheng [Afshani and Cheng, 2021]. In the plane, i.e., D = 2, they proved that S(n) = Ω(n^{Δ+1 - o(1)}/Q(n)^{(Δ+3)Δ/2}) which shows Ω(n^{Δ+1-o(1)}) space is needed for Q(n) = n^{o(1)}. While this refutes the conjecture, it still leaves a number of unresolved issues: the lower bound only works in 2D and for fast queries, and neither the exponent of n or Q(n) seem to be tight even for D = 2, as the best known upper bounds have S(n) = O(n^{m+o(1)}/Q(n)^{(m-1)D/(D-1)}) where m = binom(D+Δ,D)-1 = Ω(Δ^D) is the maximum number of parameters to define a monic degree-Δ D-variate polynomial, for any constant dimension D and degree Δ.
In this paper, we resolve two of the issues: we prove a lower bound in D-dimensions, for constant D, and show that when the query time is n^{o(1)}+O(k), the space usage is Ω(n^{m-o(1)}), which almost matches the Õ(n^{m}) upper bound and essentially closes the problem for the fast-query case, as far as the exponent of n is considered in the pointer machine model. When considering the exponent of Q(n), we show that the analysis in [Afshani and Cheng, 2021] is tight for D = 2, by presenting matching upper bounds for uniform random point sets. This shows either the existing upper bounds can be improved or to obtain better lower bounds a new fundamentally different input set needs to be constructed
