Sputnik diner
No full textFrom an award-winning writer reminiscent of Richard Russo and Russell Banks: get ready for a heady and heartbreaking stay in Nanticoke, home of the Sputnik Diner. Travelling on Highway 3, along the upper lip of Lake Erie and through a moustache of tobacco fields and sky, we arrive in Nanticoke, Ontario. At the heart of the town is the Sputnik Diner, a smoky grill where the jukebox whirs out an ever-changing soundtrack. Navigating their way through the lies and sexual betrayals are Grace, waitress and self-defeating artist; Buzz, who offers the cook's eye view of the eccentric patrons and staff; and Marcel, the gruff French-Canadian owner who doles out hilarious malapropisms and his own peculiar brand of hospitality. In muscular prose, Maddocks traces the lives of flawed, gutsy, and utterly loveable characters: an immigrant family from Wales, struggling to find their place in the ragged, darkly absurd world of tobacco-belt Ontario; two young brothers who steal the family car and try to come to grips with their father's cancer out on the dinosaur mini-putt course in the pouring rain; and Grace, who seeks out her birth parents only to confront the dizzying epiphanies of that momentous discovery. There are others too, whose stalled dreams, gritty hopes and humour spark through the Sputnik Diner universe. --From publisher description.short stor
Bairdiidae Sars 1888
No full textFamily BAIRDIIDAE Sars, 1888 1888 Family Bairdiidae Sars: 288. Nomenclatural Remarks. In an influential review of crustacean classification (Martin & Davis 2001), the author and date of Family Bairdiidae were incorrectly given as “Sars, 1865.” This error has found its way into recent papers and the online World Ostracoda Database (Brand„o et al. 2018). The issue for 1865 actually appeared in 1866 (Kempf 1988, p. 309). In that paper, Sars did name three other families (Conchoeciidae, Polycopidae and Cytherellidae), but he classified the Genus Bairdia in the Family Cypridae Baird, 1845 (Sars 1866, p. 19). The spelling of “ Cypridae ” was validly emended to “ Cyprididae ” by Baird (1850, p. 139; see also Swain 1961, p. Q211; Howe 1955, p. 14; 1962, p. 68). The issue date of Sars’ paper on “ Ostracoda Mediterranea ” was verified as 1888 by Howe (1955, p. 314; 1962, p. 338) during preparation of the Ostracoda volume of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. The Kraus reprint edition (published in 1969 by Nendeln/ Liechtenstein) states the place and date of publication as “Kristiania 1888.” See also Sylvester-Bradley (1961, p. Q201, Q417), Maddocks (1969, 1995), Maddocks & Iliffe (1986), Maddocks & Wouters (1990), and Brand„o (2008). The date has been erroneously cited as 1887 by Morkhoven (1963, p. 467), Kempf (1988, p. 309), Hartmann (1989, p. 1006), and many others.Published as part of Maddocks, Rosalie F., 2021, Taxonomic applications of the esophageal flapper valve in the Genus Neonesidea (Bairdioidea, Podocopida, Ostracoda), including descriptions of new and poorly known species from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, pp. 451-492 in Zootaxa 4903 (4) on page 454, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4903.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/443122

Biphobia in sport – Sexual identity and exclusionary practices
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Research in the field of bisexuality has identified that bisexuals experience a unique kind of phobia, in that phobic responses to their sexual preferences appear from both mainstream and LGBT communities. However, little research in the UK has been conducted within the arena of sport culture to cater for the particular welfare needs of bisexual athletes. As an additional consequence, there is little theorisation of bisexuality available within the context of sport sociology. This research contributes to debates in the politics of identity by exploring a fairly new landscape within sport culture using a Foucauldian analysis of power. Discourse analyses have been utilised to interpret thirteen semi-structured interviews conducted with British athletes on the topics of bi-invisibility and the general problem of homophobia. This research also contributes to discussions concerning the mobilisation of power through discourse – certain discursive practices function to legitimize normative over non-normative sexualities and queer/fluid/bisexual identities are further stigmatized and othered. The main findings suggest that exclusions are mobilised most effectively, ironically, through sport cultural practices of inclusion, in that they are almost exclusively sexual identity-based. Additionally, this study offers a theoretical explanation for the peripheralisation of bisexuality in sport culture which can shed new light on bisexual theory in mainstream culture. It makes important suggestions as to the new directions future research can take in order to advance the current knowledge bases concerning the effects of bantering. This research proposes that practices of bantering can be just as marginalising as those of bullying. In the resultant climate of covert exclusions, organizational sporting bodies could benefit from paying close attention to the disempowering effects of biphobic and homophobic language, whether humorously intended or otherwise. This is with particular respect to youth footballing academies and spectator communities.This study was funded by Brunel University
Mitochondrial ROS signalling requires uninterrupted electron flow and is lost during ageing in flies
No full text\ua9 2022, The Author(s). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are cellular messengers essential for cellular homeostasis. In response to stress, reverse electron transport (RET) through respiratory complex I generates high levels of mtROS. Suppression of ROS production via RET (ROS-RET) reduces survival under stress, while activation of ROS-RET extends lifespan in basal conditions. Here, we demonstrate that ROS-RET signalling requires increased electron entry and uninterrupted electron flow through the electron transport chain (ETC). We find that in old fruit flies, ROS-RET is abolished when electron flux is decreased and that their mitochondria produce consistently high levels of mtROS. Finally, we demonstrate that in young flies, limiting electron exit, but not entry, from the ETC phenocopies mtROS generation observed in old individuals. Our results elucidate the mechanism by which ROS signalling is lost during ageing

Hemipenis with coiled vas deferens; strongly sclerotized, subrectangular, arched, short proximal lobe; and subconical distal lobe armed distally with numerous chitinous spines. Remarks. Bythocypris malyutinae sp. nov. presents both bythocypridid and bairdiid characthers. It is a typical bythocypridid in: (1) carapace (subtriangular, thin and smooth), (2) antenna I with not very long setae; (3) genital lobe with short internal tube; (4) adductor muscle scars arranged in three anterior and one posterodorsal rows. Otherwise, the antenna II in B. polarsterni sp. nov. presents one claw (in females) or seta (in males) fused to podomere VI, which Maddocks (1969, 1972, 1973, 1976, 1991, 1995) considered to be diagnostic of the family Bairdiidae. Actually, females of Bythocypris eltanina Maddocks, 1969 also present a fused claw on this podomere (Maddocks, 1969, Fig. 48.D). In the provided illustration of the male specimen (Maddocks, 1969: 48.C), it is unfortunately not possible to distinguish the insertion of the “segmented” claw from the other several setae the podomere VI. The immense morphological variation observed in the valves and soft parts probably indicates that several species might be included in the names B. malyutinae sp. nov., Bythocypris sp. 1 aff. B. malyutinae (see description below) and Bythocypris sp. 2 cf. B. mozambiquensis (see description below), as herein defined: (1) the valves can be suboval (Figs. 29.I, 30.A, B) to subtriangular (Figs. 29.L, 30.F, B), with more (Fig. 30.E, F) or less (Fig. 29.C, D) protruding posterior angle; (2) the hemipenis presents variation on the distal lobe (width, and relative length of spiky distal area) (Fig. 30.G, H); (3) genital lobe can be subtriangular, suboval with a thin tubular extension, or suboval with a thick tubular extension; (4) vibratory plate of maxilla I with 5 to 10 strahlen; (5) vibratory plate of appendage V with 6 to 14 strahlen; (6) chaetotaxy of most podomeres of appendages (except AI podomere I, VII; AII podomere I, II; Md palp podomere I, ApV podomere IV, Ap VI exopodite, podomere II, IV; ApVII podomere I, III, IV) and Fu is very variable among the 13 adults examined. In particular, the highly variable number of strahlen on the vibratory plates of the maxilla I and the appendage V are strong evidence for the presence of different species. Furthermore, Hartmann (1968: 458), stated that the morphology of the genital lobe of Bairdioidea have systematic importance, since it is characteristic for each species. Unfortunately, even after the careful study of the chaetotaxy of the 16 available adults (3 males, 10 females), no consistent character defining the different species could be found. Therefore, only one new species is named (B. malyutinae), and the more extreme forms are left in open nomenclature (including Bythocypris sp. 1 aff. B. malyutinae, and Bythocypris sp. 2 cf. B. mozambiquensis). Bythocypris malyutinae sp. nov. belongs to the Bythocypris mozambiquensis group, which includes B. mozambiquensis Maddocks, 1969, B. eltanin Maddocks, 1969, B. spiriscutica Maddocks, 1969 and B. promoza Maddocks, 1973. Some differences can be observed between B. promoza (Maddocks, 1972, Figs. 1 –3) and B. malyutinae: (1) podomere V of AII in B. promoza conspicuously more elongate (Maddocks 1972: Fig. 1 C) than B. malyutinae sp. nov; (2) male modified seta of podomere VI of AII is “segmented” from the midlength to the distal tip in B. promoza and is “segmented” just in the mid 1 / 3 of its length in B. malyutinae; (3) B. promoza lacks claws on Md palp, while B. malyutinae has 1 mediodistal claw on podomere III and 2 distal claws at podomere IV; (4) B. promoza lacks feathered setae on MxI palp and endites; (5) the former sp. shows 12 strahlen (instead of 6 to 11) and 6 tiny posterior setae (instead of 5 to 10 mediumsized setae); (6) the former sp. has more elongate podomeres on Ap V to VII; (7) B. promoza has fewer setae on Fu (4 anterior, long setae plus 3 tiny setae, instead of 2 tiny dorsal, plus 8 or 9 setae on ventral margin); (8) the hemipenis of B. promoza lacks the large tubular spiny distal lobe. Based on 103 empty valves and 2 juveniles (with soft parts), Maddocks (1969: 99–102) described Bythocypris mozambiquensis Maddocks, 1969 from a total of 16 samples from the Mozambique Channel (14 samples, 1140 to 3850m), Southwestern Pacific (3 samples, 1930 to 3475m) and Gulf of Mexico (1 sample, 1335m). As that author stated, it is possible to observe that, “there is an extraordinary amount of variation among forms assignable to this species” (1969: 100). In my opinion, most probably all these specimens studied by Maddocks comprise more than one sp., but this fact is masked by the total absence of soft parts. Because of that, the following comparison will be related to the holotype and other paratypes included by Maddocks in the “typical form” (Maddocks 1969, Fig. 46.E, G, K, M). Bythocypris malyutinae sp. nov. differs from B. mozambiquensis, because the former species: (1) is larger (Fig. 28), adult length 1.78 to 1.94mm, instead of 1.40 to 1.50mm (Maddocks 1969: 99–100); (2) present smoothly rounded lateral outline, with rounded anterior margin, instead of an angulate outline with truncate anterior margin; (3) is less high in relation to length. Overall, B. malyutinae presents a similar valve outline to Bythocypris eltanina Maddocks, 1969 (except that the new species has a more rounded dorsal margin) but differs considerably in hemipenis (Fig. 30. G–L herein; Maddocks 1969, Fig. 48.G). The new species described herein differs from: (1) B. reniformis, B. affinis, and B. prolata by its more subtriangular lateral view; (2) B. elongata in being higher in relation to length, with more smoothly rounded dorsal margin, and more sinuous LV outline; 3) B. spiriscutica has a more ovate outline, with less distinct posterior angle.Published as part of Brandão, Simone N., 2008, New species of Bairdioidea (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from the Southern Ocean and discussions on Bairdoppilata simplex (Brady, 1880),?

Bythocypris Brady 1880
No full textGenus <i>Bythocypris</i> Brady, 1880 <p> <i>Type species.</i> <i>Bythocypris reniformis</i> Brady, 1880.</p> <p> (1) Remarks on subgenera of <i>Bythocypris</i></p> <p> Based on carapace characters, Warne (1990) described a new subgenus of <i>Bythocypris –Bythotriangularia</i> Warne, 1990 —to include the species with “subtriangular to oval” lateral valve outline, “inner lamella moderately broad”, and “adductor muscle scar pattern typically bythocypridid except that individual scars are commonly subdivided”. The following species were included in the subgenus <i>Bythotriangularia</i>: the type species <i>B. spiriscutica</i> Maddocks, 1969; plus <i>B. eltanina</i> Maddocks, 1969; <i>B. promoza</i> Maddocks, 1973; and <i>B. mozambiquensis</i> Maddocks, 1969.</p> <p> Warne (1990) diagnosed the subgenus <i>Bythocypris</i> Brady, 1880, as follows: valve lateral outline “smooth, reniform to sub­reniform or sub­rectangular”, “inner lamella of moderate size, and adductor muscle scars that are usually undivided”.</p> <p> Warne (1990) completely ignored the several anchistrocheline soft part characters (elongated hypostome and labrum; fused podomeres of antenna I and appendages V to VII; hemipenis with short copulatory process and one also short accessory process) of <i>Anchistrocheles antemacella</i> Maddocks, 1969, <i>A. barnharti</i> Maddocks, 1976, <i>A. hartmanni</i> Maddocks, 1976 and <i>A. mcquadei</i> Maddocks, 1976 and transferred these four species to the subgenus <i>Bythocypris</i>. These assignments are herein considered invalid, and these four species are considered to belong to the genus <i>Anchistrocheles</i> Brady & Norman, 1889 (sensu Maddocks 1976).</p> <p> The author himself (Warne, 1990: 106) noticed that intermediate carapace lateral outlines exist between the two “diagnostic” sub­reniform and subtriangular forms, and even further, that the type species of the subgenus <i>Bythocypris—B.</i> <i>(B.) reniformis</i> Brady, 1880 —is one of these intermediate forms: “the sub­reniform carapaces of the type species is intermediate in shape between the sub­rectangular carapace of <i>B. (B.) subrectangularia</i> sp. nov. and the subtriangular carapace of <i>B. (Bythotriangularia</i>), (…) but is closer to the sub­rectangular forms than to the subtriangular forms”. Another example of intermediate valve outline was cited by Warne (1990: 111): “ <i>B.elongata</i> Brady, 1880 may also belong to <i>B. (Bythotriangularia)</i> but it is more elongated than other species included in the new subgenus and has a very narrow inner margin”.</p> <p> Ostracod valve outline, especially in smooth forms, is known to be a very plastic character, with similar outlines being convergently present in different families (for example: Bythocyprididae, Cyprididae, Krithidae, Macrocyprididae, and Pontocyprididae). In addition, the width of the zone of concrescence may also vary, since it changes according to the time of the last moult, with newly moulted individuals presenting a thinner zone of concrescence than those which moulted longer before (Keyser, pers. comm.). Moreover, the subdivision of adductor muscle scars varies according to “preservation, individual variation, method of illustration, and interpretation by an individual observer” (Maddocks, 1995: 207). Unfortunately, no consistent character is left for the recognition of both subgenera of <i>Bythocypris</i> as proposed by Warne (1990), making it impossible to recognise these taxa. Consequently, no subgeneric assignment is attempted herein.</p> <p> (2) Remarks on <i>Bythocypris reniformis</i></p> <p> There is considerable taxonomic confusion concerning the name <i>Bythocypris reniformis</i>, which was reported from the Western Atlantic (North and South), Southwestern Pacific, Southwestern Indic and Southern oceans, and from the Pleistocene to recent sediments (Fig. 22, Tab. 4).</p> <p> Brady (1880: 46) described <i>Bythocypris reniformis</i> based on a “considerable number of detached valves, together with a few entire specimens,” collected through dredgings off Culebra Islands, 713m (# 24), off North Brazil, 340 and 1234m (# 120 and # 122), off Prince Edward’s Island (subantarctic region), 91 to 274m, and off Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait, 70 to 73m. Chapman (1941) recorded <i>B. reniformis</i> from southeast Australia (860 and 924m). Maddocks (1969) assigned to <i>B. reniformis</i> subfossil specimens with very different valve morphology collected “near Tulear, Madagascar, and elsewhere on the western Madagascar coast to depths of” 3530m (75 specimens, 475 to 3530m) and off south­eastern Brazil (108 specimens, 1227m). Later, Puri and Hulings (1976) erected as the lectotype of <i>B. reniformis</i> a subfossil RV (length 1.09mm) from Culebra Islands (713m). The last authors erroneously designated topotypes (1 RLV and 1 LV) from Prince Edward Island (91 to 274m). The lectotype differs from the illustrated [sic] topotype in the more equilateral lateral outline, more straight anterodorsal margin (instead of smoothly rounded), and more concave ventral margin of the former. The lectotype also differs from the specimen illustrated by Brady (1880, Pl. 5.1b) by the more truncated anterior margin, and more rectilinear outline, especially the straight anterodorsal margin presented by the former species. The specimens collected off south­eastern Brazil (Maddocks 1969, Fig. 45.J–M) differs from the lectotype of <i>B. reniformis</i> because the former: (1) are more smoothly rounded, subtriangular valve outline; (2) have a more arched dorsal margin; (3) present maximum height at mid­length (instead of anterior to it); (4) present much larger size (1.51 to 1.62mm instead of 1.09mm). The specimens from the Mozambique Channel (Maddocks 1969, Fig. 45.N–U) differ from the lectotype of <i>B. reniformis</i>, because the former: (1) have a more sub­reniform outline; (2) have a more obtuse posterior angle; (3) have a less concave ventral margin; (4) have a more broadly rounded anterior margin; (5) present maximum height posterior to mid­length (instead of anterior to it). Finally, Briggs (1978) reported <i>B. reniformis</i> from Ross Island, Antarctica (no illustration or description was provided).</p> <p> Specimens from Marion Island (Dingle 2003) also vary from the lectotype of <i>B. reniformis</i>. The RV (Dingle 2003, Pl. 1.4) shows: (1) more smoothly rounded dorsal margin (the lectotype presents a more arched dorsal margin, with straight anterodorsal margin and conspicuous anterodorsal angle); (2) posterior angle of the first species is more obtuse than the last species; (3) ventral margin is concave in the former sp. and broadly rounded anteriorly and upswung posteriorly in the type material. The LV (Dingle 2003, Pl. 1.3) lacks the conspicuous anterodorsal angle, has a more smoothly rounded dorsal margin, slightly convex (instead of concave) ventral margin, and more obtuse posterior angle than the topotype from off Marion Island.</p> <p> Based on the above, I conclude that specimens previously recorded as <i>B. reniformis</i> should be included in at least 4 different species (1. type locality – Caribbean; 2. off Canada; 3. off Brazil; 4. off Mozambique Channel;?5. off Australia).</p>Published as part of <i>Brandão, Simone N., 2008, New species of Bairdioidea (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from the Southern Ocean and discussions on Bairdoppilata simplex (Brady, 1880),?

Scoping review protocol of prehabilitation interventions for primary arthroplasty
No full textBackground: Osteoarthritis (OA) ranks fifth among all forms of disability worldwide and primary replacement arthroplasty is the treatment of choice in late-stage OA. The current situation in South Africa is that the waiting lists for arthroplasty are extensive with steep costs. According to many studies, physiotherapists can have an impact on this situation by implementing prehabilitation.
Objectives: The aim of our study is to identify the trends in the literature regarding the content of prehabilitation programmes as well as the gaps.
Method: The methodology will involve a literature search and the methodology as proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. The literature searches will be conducted in electronic databases and peer-reviewed journal studies will be included based on predetermined inclusion criteria.
