Etymology: The specific epithet is a patronym in honour of Frances Harvey, who helped collect specimens of Atelomastix in Walpole and Denmark. Diagnosis: Atelomastix francesae is similar to A. albanyensis, but can be distinguished by the shape of sclerites b and c. Sclerite b is blunt, broadly shaped, and does not taper or curve to a point distally. Sclerite c, which is deeply bifurcated, does not have a curved lateral process, and the medial process is much more elongated, exhibiting a number of setae medially rather than on the distal edge. Description: Male (holotype). Colour: Dorsal part of head dark brown; rest of head, mouth parts, antennae, gonopod, ozopores and legs light golden-brown; prozonites pale yellow brown, metazonites dark to bluegrey. Body: ca. 16 mm long and ca. 1.4 mm wide at collum. With 39 trunk segments, 67 pairs of legs, last 2 segments without legs. Head: with ca. 24 ocelli (Fig. 58), arranged in 5 rows (2: 4: 5: 6: 7). Gonopods: anterior gonopods (Figs. 98, 99) complex, relatively large, compact, broad, and heavily scleritised, 2.19 times longer than broad; sclerite a with swollen base and broad, curved distal hood; upper distal face of sclerite a with 22 short blunt setae; pseudoflagellum short, broad, and partially concealed within broadened distal hood; sclerite b broad and slightly curved distally, with 2–7 setae on distal edge (n=15); basal process of sclerite b small with rounded tip, 0.09 times the length of the main process; sclerite c deeply bifurcate, lateral process slightly curved forming a blunt tip, medial process triangular in shape with 3–8 setae (n=15) spread over middle of process; one small setae present at sub basal end of sclerite, and group of 9 very short setae present basally; posterior gonopods inconspicuous, small, with several small setae on interno-lateral face of each gonopod. Dimensions (mm): holotype male (paratype male, WAM T69739): length ca. 16, width ca. 1.4 (L/ W=11.1); sclerite a 0.997 / 0.456 (0.992 / 0.454), setae 22; sclerite b 0.450 (0.447), basal process 0.039 (0.023), setae 5 subdistal + 1 distal (4 subdistal); sclerite c 0.749 (0.760), lateral process of sclerite c 0.272 (0.269), medial process of sclerite c 0.225 (0.237), setae 7 (7). Female. Similar to male, other than sexual characters, and slightly larger. Distribution and habitat: Atelomastix francesae has been recorded from several localities between Walpole to Denmark along the south coast of Western Australia (Fig. 5). Specimens can be found under and within rotting logs, moist leaf litter, and in the soil under rocks in a variety of different habitats, including tall karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) and tingle (E. jacksonii) forests, open jarrah (E. marginata) / marri (Corymbia calophylla) woodlands, and granite outcrops. This species has been found to exist in sympatry with A. ellenae at a number of locations within its distribution.Published as part of Edward, Karen L. & Harvey, Mark S., 2010, A review of the Australian millipede genus Atelomastix (Diplopoda: Spirostreptida: Iulomorphidae) 2371, pp. 1-63 in Zootaxa 2371 (1) on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2371.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/531221
A description of hepatitis C infection on Prince Edward Island
No full textIn Prince Edward Island (PEI), it was estimated that there were up to 800 people infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) since testing began in 1991; however, the exact number of those still actively infected was not known. The purpose of this study was to determine (a) the prevalence of active HCV cases; (b) the number of acute/chronic cases at diagnosis; (c) the demographic/risk profile of HCV cases; and (d) the risk factors significant to the diagnosis of acute cases on PEI. This study used a descriptive, correlational, quantitative design using retrospective chart review data and laboratory data for all laboratory confirmed HCV cases living on PEI from 1991 to 2016. Approximately 430 cases remain actively infected on PEI. Intravenous drug use was the most prevalent risk factor, 65% of cases were diagnosed between 30 and 59 years of age, more males were diagnosed than females, and females (34 years) were diagnosed at a significantly younger age than males (37 years). Limited laboratory data allowed 388 cases to be diagnosed into acute and chronic cases. Eighteen percent were acute; 68% were chronic. The younger the case was in age the greater the probability of the case being acute. There are still many people on PEI who would benefit from HCV treatment. Development of a broader case definition for acute cases in PEI may improve the information available to identify at-risk people and plan action for prevention of HCV
Writing from the shadowlands: how cross-cultural literature negotiates the legacy of Edward Said
No full textThis thesis examines the impact of Edward Said's influential work Orientalism and its legacy in respect of contemporary reading and writing across cultures. It also questions the legitimacy of Said's retrospective stereotyping of early examples of cross-cultural representation in literature as uncompromisingly 'orientalist'.
It is well known that the release of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 was responsible for the rise of a range of cultural and critical theories from multiculturalism to postcolonialism. It was a study that not only polarized critics and forced scholars to re-examine orientalist archives, but persuaded creative writers to re-think their ethnographic positions when it came to the literary representations of cultures other than their own. Without detracting from the enormous impact of Said, this thesis isolates gaps and silences in Said that need correcting. Furthermore, there is an element of intransigence, an uncompromising refusal to fine-tune what is essentially a binary discourse of the West and its other in Said's work, that encourages the continued interrogation of power relations but which, because of its very boldness, paradoxically disallows the extent to which the conflict of cultures indeed produced new, hybrid social and cultural formations.
In an attempt to challenge the severity of Said's claim that 'every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric', the thesis examines a number of different discursive contexts in which such a presumption is challenged. Thus while the second chapter discusses the 'traditional' profession-based orientalism of nineteenth-century E. G. Browne, the third considers the anti-imperialism of colonial administrator Leonard Woolf. The fourth chapter provides a reflection on the difficulties of diasporic 'orientalism' through the works of Michael Ondaatje while chapter five demonstrates the effects of the dialogism used by Amitav Ghosh as a defence against 'orientalism'. The thesis concludes with an examination of contemporary writing by Andrea Levy that appositely illustrates the legacy of Said's influence.
While the restrictive parameters of Said's work make it difficult to mount a thorough-going critique of Said, this thesis shows that, indeed, it is within the restraints of these parameters and in the very discourse that Said employs that he traps himself. This study claims that even Said is susceptible to 'orientalist' criticism in that he is as much an 'orientalist' as those at whom he directs his polemic
Evaluating re-introduction methods for the gulf of Saint Lawrence aster (Symphyotrichum laurentianum) on Prince Edward Island
No full textThe Gulf of St. Lawrence aster (SLA; Symphyotrichum laurentianum (Fernald) G.L. Nesom) is an annual plant species endemic to the Gulf of St. Lawrence region. Owing to the dynamic nature of the environment that the SLA inhabits, severe and major threats to both the aster and its habitat exist. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada listed the species as threatened in Canada in 2004. This status was assigned based on the species' limited distribution, fluctuating population size, and continued pressures on its habitat. Surveys have revealed that both site and population numbers have been further and drastically reduced on Prince Edward Island. In 2007, only one populated site of 482 individuals remained. It is possible that this species has been extirpated from Prince Edward Island. Recovery of this species on Prince Edward Island is feasible. Promising results related to seeding and the transplantation of greenhouse-grown seedlings at four in situ sites demonstrated that SLA plantlets have the potential to serve as seed stock to re-establish populations. Over the 2 years of the transplantation experiment, the pooled overall survivorship was 52.8%. Specific site manipulations that were tested may also increase the potential survivorship of the transplants and facilitate second-generation germination
The 2011 provincial election in Prince Edward Island
