Pseudobagrus fui Miao, a valid bagrid species from the Yangtze River drainage, South China (Teleostei: Bagridae)
No full textPseudobagrus fui Miao is a valid bagrid species that can be separated from all its congeners in having 27-33 anal-fin rays. Among the species of Pseudobagrus, it forms part of a group of approximately 20 species putatively characterized by having a smooth anterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine and short maxillary barbels not extending to the base of the pectoral-fin spine. Pseudobagrus fui, together with P. nitidus and P. vachelli, can be differentiated from all other fork-tailed species of this group by having no fewer than 20 branched anal-fin rays, the posterior end of the anal-fin base posterior to the vertical through the posterior end of the adipose-fin base, and anal-fin base longer than the adipose-fin base. It further differs from P. nitidus in having a gas bladder without beaded lateral and posterior margins, and from P. vachelli in having short maxillary barbels not extending to the base of the pectoral-fin spine. Pseudobagrus fui is currently known from the main stream of the upper Yangtze River and its tributaries, the Min River, Jialing River, Tuo River, Wu River and Chishui River in Sichuan Province, Guizhou Province, and the Chongqing City. The identity and nomenclature of Pseudobagrus nitidus is also discussed.Pseudobagrus fui Miao is a valid bagrid species that can be separated from all its congeners in having 27-33 anal-fin rays.

COVID-19 pneumonia in a wide Italian cohort of sarcoidosis patients
Get PDFIntroduction: At the beginning of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, there was
concern that infected sarcoidosis patients, likewise other patients with chronic lung disease, could be
at higher risk of a poor outcome and death. Moreover it was supposed that Sarcoidosis infected
patients could be at higher risk of poor outcome ùs as a consequence of comorbidities secondary to
chronic glucocorticoid treatment.
Methods:In order to determine whether sarcoidosis patients really showed high risk of poor outcome
and death during COVID-19 pandemic, an electronic survey of the impact of COVID-19 on
sarcoidosis patients was proposed together with the University of Cincinnati to the Italian Sarcoidosis
association Amici contro la Sarcoidosi (ACSI).
Results: The clinical features of 1542 sarcoidosis patients, were anonymously collected by telephone
survey and online questionnaire from April to June 2020). In this group,32 patients (2.1%) declared
that they had contracted SARS-CoV-19 infection. 6 patients of them (19%) were hospitalized (among
these, 2 patients were admitted to intensive care unit).
4 out of 32 patients (12%) were health care workers, while 15 (47%) reported having comorbidities
and 14 out of 32 (44%) have a form of pulmonary sarcoidosis only, 12 (37%) have both pulmonary
and extrathoracic involvement.
Contrary to initial concerns about prognosis, our results suggest that patients with sarcoidosis did not
have an increased risk of adverse outcome or death from COVID-19 infection compared to the general
population. Almost half of our patients with sarcoidosis and SARS-CoV-2 had at least one of the
following diseases: hypertension, asthma, COPD, diabetes and obesity. The subgroup of sarcoidosis
patients developing COVID infection in our sarcoidosis cohort was characterized by lung
involvement, high prevalence of comorbidities and treatment suggesting that these clinical parameters
may be potential risk factors of developing COVID-19

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
