The specific name means “king” in Latin, used as a noun, as an homage to its Atlantic congener Epinnula magistralis which was named for “master” in Latin. Remarks. Although being treated as a subspecies of what is now recognized as Neoepinnula orientalis, Grey (1953) pointed out the differences between E. o. pacifica (from Japan) and E. o. orientalis (from South Africa), which may be recognized as two different species after further study. The availability of Epinnula o. pacifica (now under Neoepinnula) requires that the 2017 E. pacifica have an amended name under the principle of homonymy. As such, a replacement name is provided. The new replacement name will take the same type series, as well as the same authorship with one change. For this nomen novum, we would like to correct the name of the fourth author (WCC) whose surname should be changed to Chiang.Published as part of Ho, Hsuan-Ching, Motomura, Hiroyuki, Hata, Harutaka & Chiang, Wei-Chuan, 2022, Epinnula rex nom. nov., a replacement name for Epinnula pacifica Ho, Motomura Hata & Jiang, 2017 (Teleostei: Gempylidae), pp. 199-200 in Zootaxa 5141 (2) on page 199, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/658172
Phenolic profile, fatty acid and essential oil composition analysis and antioxidant, antialzheimer and antibacterial activities of verbascum flavidum extracts
No full textThis paper is the first report about phytochemical analysis with LC-MS/MS and biological activities of Verbascum flavidum (Boiss.) Freyn & Bornm. Rutin (1077.09±77.47 µg analyte/g extract) and chlorogenic acid (1012.42±97.18 µg analyte/g extract) were determined as the most abundant phenolics in V. flavidum. The main components of fatty acid were found to be palmitic (30.3%) and oleic acids (17.9%); while the major essential oils were determined as arachidic acid (16.4%) and ?-selinene (8.9%) by GC-MS analysis. In DPPH free radical scavenging activity the methanol extract showed higher activity than BHT with 72.62% inhibition at 100 µg/mL concentration. The methanol and water extracts of V. flavidum showed 86.01 % and 87.39 % inhibition in ABTS cation radical scavenging assay at 100 µg/mL concentration, respectively. The methanol extract showed moderate activity against E. coli with 250±0.3 MIC value and with 15 mm inhibition zone diameter at 30 mg/mL concentration. © 2016, Chiang Mai University.

Dynamics of kinship and the uncertainties of life: Spirit cults and healing management in northern Thailand
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This thesis is about kinship, health and healing in a Northern Thai village. Although
traditional spirit mediums and spirit cult observances in Chiang Mai city are in
decline and have led to a breakdown of the matrilineal system, in the village of Baan
Yang Luang in Mae Chaem district the belief in matrilineal spirits and ancestors is
still maintained in interesting counterpoint to social change. The power of spirits is
used to manage human suffering-whether sickness, death or agricultural failure.
Kinship in Mae Chaem is based on the relationship between humans and ancestral
spirits or lineage guardian spirits. Illness is thought to derive from conflicts among
humans or between humans and spirits. Healing is attained by the reforming and
reshaping of relationships, and by the reconciliation of conflicted parties. The thesis investigates how matrilineal spirit cults, personhood, and social relatedness are
created, shaped and transformed through the struggles of illness and healing management. It examines the complex relations among illness, kinship and personhood in reincarnation, healing, lineage recruitment, sacrifice, and spirit worship. In conclusion, it explores the mutual relationship between the two processes: kinship transformation and healing management, both of which depend crucially on
power relations within the society. People use the dynamic aspects of the kinship
system to interpret and manage illness; at the same time, illness is used as a means to
reform and maintain the fluidity of kin relationships. The dynamic systems of health
and kinship enable people to create, choose, negotiate and participate in the
transformation of social relations and identity, in order to cope with a changing
society. Finally, I hope this study will shed light on how identity, kinship,
personhood, and lay medical knowledge are conceived, created and sustained from an
emic perspective.This work is funded by the Thai Govenment and Chiang Mai University
