Tamarixia bicolor Mercet (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a parasitoid of Heterotrioza sahlbergi (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae) in Israel
No full textTamarixia bicolor Mercet (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae) was collected in Israel for the first time in 2015. Heterotrioza sahlbergi (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is now reported as a new host record for this parasitoid. This psyllid species was found in Israel in 1992, feeding on Atriplex spp. (Amaranthaceae). A study of T. bicolor on this host, including dissections of parasitized immatures of H. sahlbergi, has revealed it to be a solitary nymphal endoparasitoid.

Organic Hummus in Israel: Global and Local Ingredients and Images
No full textHummus is an ancient traditional dish in Middle Eastern Cultures. In Israel it is one of the most common foods, appropriated as an icon of Israeli culture and nationality. Today, hummus is served in Israel in many restaurants, and is even distributed as a commercially packaged spread sold in supermarkets. Organic hummus – a recent version of the dish – is influenced by global trends of ethical and reflexive food consumption. Organic food is conceived as the 'spearhead' opposing the consequences of globalization. It is customary to view it as representing locality, health, ecology and social justice. But it also embodies representations of globalism and westernism, mainly because of its integration in the global industrial system and its origin among the post-materialistic-social elite in western countries. This article deals with the encounter of the global and the local as embodied in organic hummus in Israel. Looking at the production, distribution, and consumption of this dish uncovers social and political layers embedded in it. I will argue that the global socio-economic conditions and ideas embedded in the concept of organic attached to hummus are the ones which allow – paradoxically – the imagined re-localization of the dish. Organic hummus in Israel is a dish steeped in paradoxical aspects, and therefore characterized by culinary-ideological-dissonance. Hummus is a dish that was perceived as representing rootedness, earthiness, and local simplicity, but nowadays, in its organic version, it wears an economic and symbolic framework of global values used by the Israeli westernizing elite to demonstrate a widespread-environmental cosmopolitan identity.Globalization, Localization, Cosmopolitism, Organic Food, Hummus, Commodification, Israeli Culture
THE CENTRAL POLYNOMIALS FOR THE GRASSMANN ALGEBRA
No full textConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)In this paper we describe the central polynomials for the infinite-dimensional unitary Grassmann algebra G over an infinite field F of characteristic not equal 2. We exhibit a set of polynomials that generates the vector space C( G) of the central polynomials of G as a T-space. Using a deep result of Shchigolev we prove that if char F = p > 2 then the T-space C( G) is not finitely generated. Moreover, over such a field F, C( G) is a limit T-space, that is, C( G) is not a finitely generated T-space but every larger T-space W not greater than or equal to C( G) is. We obtain similar results for the infinite-dimensional non-unitary Grassmann algebra H as well.1791127144Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)FAPDFFINATECConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP

Interregional inequalities in Israel: Explanatory model and empirical data
No full textAn explanatory model of regional inequality is proposed, which attempts to explain a spatial distribution of different income groups. According to this model, such a distribution is a function of the relation between the cost of living in a particular geographic area and actual income of its inhabitants. The applicability of this model to spatial inequalities in Israel is investigated, using data from five subsequent censuses of population and housing. The analysis indicates that there is no universal trend in the development of inequalities, examined from either a temporal or a spatial point of view. Instead, the extent of interregional disparities appears to differ when various indicators of inequality are considered. Measures of population distribution and wealth indicate the highest extent of interregional disparities, whilst the country's regional development appears to be the least uneven when indicators of education and participation in the labor force are considered. Temporally, most indicators of welfare and population distribution tend to diverge over time, reflecting increasing interregional disparities. In contrast, variables related to education and housing tend to converge, indicating a reduction in inequality. Moreover, the change in inequality appears to differ across various geographic areas: Whereas development in the central part of Israel has tended to become more uniform over time, the country's peripheral regions have developed towards further polarization of their socio-economic development. As a result of the analysis, several strategies are proposed aimed at reducing the extent of interregional disparities.
New AMS (14)C dates from the early Upper Paleolithic sequence of Raqefet Cave, Mount Carmel, Israel
No full textRaqefet Cave (35°04'21"N, 32°39'17"W) is situated in the southeastern side of Mount Carmel in Israel (Figure 1) on the left bank of wadi Raqefet (230 m asl), ~50 m above the wadi bed. It is 50 m long with an area of ~500 m2 (Figure 2). Eric Higgs of Cambridge University and Tamar Noy of the Israel Museum conducted excavations at the site between 1970 and 1972 (Higgs et al. 1975). New excavations at the cave began in 2004 (Lengyel et al. 2005)
