No full text<p>Genus Parvuspotamon Dai & Bo, 1994</p> <p>Figs 2, 3, 4</p> <p>Type species.</p> <p> <i>Parvuspotamon yuxiense</i> Dai & Bo, 1994, by original designation.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p> Medium sized (adult carapace width 16-26 mm, <i>n</i> = 15). Carapace broader than long, ovate; dorsal surface convex, smooth, regions not clear; branchial regions swollen, smooth (Figs 2A, 4A). Epigastric cristae weakly developed, oblique, separated from each other by deep inverted Y-shaped groove; postorbital cristae low, indistinct, confluent with epigastric cristae (Figs 2A, 4A). External orbital angle bluntly triangular, outer margin and anterolateral margin of carapace confluent (Figs 2A, 4A). Anterolateral margin of carapace entire convex, smooth; posterolateral margins of carapace gently converging, smooth (Figs 2A, 4A). Epibranchial tooth indistinct (Figs 2A, 4A). Sub-orbital, sub-hepatic and pterygostomial regions smooth (Figs 2B, C, 4B, C). Antennular fossae slit-like in anterior view; median lobe of epistome posterior margin narrowly triangular (Figs 2B, 4B). Exopod of third maxilliped reaching beyond anterolateral corner of ischium, without flagellum (Fig. 3G). Thoracic sternites 3/4 in male completely fused (Figs 2C, 3C, E, 4C). Vulvae transversely ovate, widely located from each other, touching suture of sternites 5/6 (Fig. 3F). Male pleon broadly triangular (Figs 2C, 3C, 4C). G1 slender, reaching pleonal locking tubercle <i>in situ</i> (Figs 3E, H, I, 4D, E); subterminal segment stout, slightly sinuous (Figs 3H, I, 4D, E); terminal segment slender, relatively long, subconical, strongly sinuous, bent inwards, inner margin strongly concave, ~ 0.6 × length of subterminal segment, without groove for G2 on ventral side, tip rounded, dorsal flap absent (Figs 3H, I, 4D-G). G2 longer than G1; terminal segment relatively long; subterminal segment ~ 1.5 × length of terminal segment (Fig. 3J).</p> <p>Remarks.</p> <p> <i>Parvuspotamon</i> was previously known by two species, <i>P. yuxiense</i> (type species) and <i>P. dixuense</i>. The latter species was recently described by Naruse et al. (2018) based on the characters in the carapace and G1 terminal segment. Based on morphological and molecular data, <i>P. dixuense</i>, however, is transferred to <i>Songpotamon</i> gen. nov. since it possesses the generic characters of the new genus (see Remarks for the new genus). The present revision thus restricts <i>Parvuspotamon</i> only to the type species, i.e., <i>P. yuxiense</i>.</p> <p> The morphological similarities between <i>Parvuspotamon</i> and <i>Songpotamon</i> gen. nov. notwithstanding, <i>Parvuspotamon</i> can easily be distinguished from <i>Songpotamon</i> gen. nov. by the characters in the carapace, vulvae and G1 (see Remarks for <i>Songpotamon</i> gen. nov.). <i>Parvuspotamon</i> is immediately distinguished from most of the remaining Chinese potamid genera by the combination of its medium body size (adult carapace width 16-26 mm), the strongly sinuous G1 terminal segment, and the absence of a flagellum on the exopod of the third maxilliped (Dai and Bo 1994; Dai 1999).</p> <p>Geographic distribution.</p> <p> <i>Parvuspotamon</i> is known only from Yunnan Province of southwest China.</p>Published as part of <i>Shi, Boyang, Pan, Da & Sun, Hongying, 2023, A taxonomic revision of the freshwater crab genus Parvuspotamon Dai & Bo, 1994 (Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamidae), with descriptions of a new genus and two new species, pp. 13-38 in ZooKeys 1183</i> on page 13, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1183.10994

The emerging legal framework for private sector development in Viet Nam's transitional economy
No full textA major objective of Viet Nam's transition to a market economy has been to reactivate the private sector in a mixed economy. Several new laws have been introduced in the past five years to implement this policy and to create an enabling environment for the private sector. The author reviews some of the more important laws and regulations that affect Viet Nam's private sector activities, including laws on real property, intellectual property, companies, domestic investment, foreign investment, bankruptcy, contracts, and dispute resolution. Anti-monopoly law has not yet been introduced in Viet Nam. The issue of competition is addressed in the context of trade law, the relative roles of the state and private sector, and restrictions in company law. These areas all establish the foundation of a legal framework for a market economy. The author concludes that Viet Nam's legal framework, like China's, is still influenced by ideology, which causes problems in such areas as private ownership of real property and with such fundamental legal concepts as"due process of law."It is noted that the private sector is constrained by the lack of an independent judiciary, the absence of private land ownership, other uncertainties in property law that limit the develpoment of financial markets, and the inherent bias of the system in favor of the state sector (and collective ownership). Also noted is a law-abiding attitude, equally important to development has been slow to develop. The author goes on to point out that the foreign investment process is too complicated, and its company law too restrictive. A first priority should be to strreamline regulations, as well as liberalize trade policy and increase efforts in privatization of state enterprises. In this respect the author notes that export processing zones may be a useful interim instrument to attract foreign investment but should be phased out over time. More important in the long term is a good investment climate resting on a strong legal foundation.Legal Products,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Legal Products,Municipal Financial Management

Massekhet Keritot. Text, Translation and Commentary. A Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian Talmud
No full textThe tractate Keritot of the Babylonian Talmud belongs to the Order of Qodashim in the Mishnah. It discusses the Temple and its rituals, especially sacrifices, but deals mostly with laws of incest, sexual transgressions, childbirth, and miscarriages. In this commentary, Federico Dal Bo provides a historical, philological and philosophical investigation on these gender issues. He discusses almost the entire tractate, referring to many other sources, Jewish (the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Sifra, and other rabbinic texts) as well as non-Jewish (Akkadian, Hittite, and Ugaritic). The author also provides accurate philological observations both on the Mishnah and the Gemara. Finally, he addresses gender issues by combining a reductionistic approach to Talmudic study (the so called "Brisker method") with philosophical deconstruction. Dal Bo shows that in nearly the entire tractate Keritot the rabbis discuss human sexuality in a tendentious and restrictive way, claiming that heterosexuality is the only proper sexual contact and progressively stigmatizing any other kind of sexual behavior
