Bonesioides nitida Freund & Wagner 2003, sp. nov.
No full textBonesioides nitida sp. nov. Description Total length. 4.8–5.5 mm (mean: 5.17 mm). Head. Labrum, labial and maxillary palpus black; frons and vertex dark metallic golden green. Antenna black, short, extending towards end of mesosternum (figure 79); first three antennal articles rarely dark brown. Antennal article 3 about 50% longer than article 2 (figure 80), A2/A3: 0.50–0.67 (mean: 0.60); antennal article 4 not longer than articles 2 and 3 combined, A3/A4: 0.61–0.71 (mean: 0.69). Eyes small (figure 79), WE/DE: 0.52–0.61 (mean: 0.55). Thorax. Pronotum and elytra dark metallic golden green. PL: 0.7–0.9 mm (mean: 0.82 mm), PW: 1.5–1.7 mm (mean: 1.64 mm), PL/PW: 0.46–0.53 (mean: 0.50). EL: 3.8–4.3 mm (mean: 4.05 mm), EW: 2.4–2.7 mm (mean: 2.55 mm), EW/EL: 0.57–0.66 (mean: 0.63). Mesothorax, metathorax and legs black, metatibia about twice as long as metatarsus (figure 79), TA/TI: 0.47–0.51 (mean: 0.49). Abdomen. Black. Male genitalia. Median lobe slender, homogeneously narrowed apically, with a contraction at beginning of apical third (figure 82). Base of orifice nearly rectangular, tectum short and slender. Endophallus with a large sclerotized base and two rightcurved spiculae; endophallic brush and apical part of sclerotized ductus ejaculatorius protruding, not covered by tectum. Female genitalia. Spermatheca with slender nodulus, homogeneously converging towards short and straight middle part; cornu varying in length and curvature (figure 81). Distribution. Recorded from montane regions of the Albertine Rift in Kivu (figure 53). Diagnosis. Bonesioides nitida sp. nov. is most similar to B. virens and B. budongoensis sp. nov. (figures 30, 49), but can be distinguished by the colour of pronotum and elytra. B. nitida sp. nov. has a metallic golden green coloration, while B. budongoensis sp. nov. is much duller and B. virens has a brighter metallic green or purple coloration. Furthermore, the antenna as a whole and the antennal articles in detail in B. virens are much longer than in B. nitida sp. nov (figures 31, 50). Males can be distinguished by the median lobe, which is much more slender in B. nitida sp. nov. than in B. budongoensis sp. nov. or B. virens (figures 33, 52, 82). The endophallus in B. nitida sp. nov. is not hooked at base like in B. budongoensis sp. nov., the endophallic brush and the apical part of the ductus ejaculatorius is larger and more protruding than in B. virens.

Medicaid, Managed Care, and Kids. 12th Annual Herbert Lourie Memorial Lecture on Health Policy
Full text linkThis policy brief talks about what managed care for Medicaid is, how it influences kids, and how it relates to the State Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It focuses on what we have learned over the last 20 years through research about cost, use, and quality. It also discusses some of the expectations we had for children covered by Medicaid managed care. Finally, it talks abaout the future of Medicaid managed care and the implications for CHIP.

Rethinking the concept of Ethics for Public Corporate Identity
No full textIn current debate a pertinent question pivots on how service systems can develop sensitivity to ethical values. In this
perspective, we can assert that, sensitivity to ethical values is fundamental and corporate government (as observer)
in designing service systems dynamics and addressing behaviors generally tends to transfer its own values, attitudes,
beliefs and knowledge. As a result, observation requires contextualizing.
Considering that the ethical issue is a subjective issue, it might be more appropriate to discuss observation in terms
of ethical judgment. If we analyze a service system, its behavior and observer perceptions of its behavior, it emerges
that ethical judgment depends on observer ethics with reference to observed behavior.
The aim of this paper is to interpret subjective ethical behavior guided by the values individuals live by and share, in
order to foster lasting and defendable corporate competitive advantage from a service system perspective. By
confronting this issue, we believe that re-thinking the concept of ethics could contribute to the development of a
“healthy culture” in Public companies which would lay the foundations for the shaping of a strong corporate
identity
