New host record for camponotophilus delvarei (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), a parasitoid of microdontine larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae), associated with the ant camponotus sp. aff. textor
No full textResumen en inglés: "Microdontine syrphid flies are obligate social parasites of ants. Larvae prey on ant brood whereas adults live outside the nests. Knowledge of their interaction with their host is often scarce, as it is information about their natural enemies. Here we report the first case of parasitism of a species of microdontine fly by a myrmecophilous eurytomid wasp.This is also the first host record for Camponotophilus delvarei Gates, a recently described parasitic wasp discovered in Chiapas, Mexico, within the nests of the weaver ant, Camponotus sp. aff. textor Forel. Eleven pupal cases of a microdontine fly were found within a single nest of this ant, five of them being parasitized. Five adult C. delvarei females were reared from a pupariumand 29 female and2male pupaewere obtained fromanother one.The eurytomid is a gregarious, primary ectoparasitoid of larvae and pupae ofMicrodontinae, its immature stages developing within the protective pupariumof the fly.The species is synovigenic.Adult females likely locate and parasitize their hosts within the ant nest. As some species of Microdontinae are considered endangered, their parasitoids are likewise threatened and in need of accurate and urgent surveys in the future.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
MODEL KOMPETENSI KOMUNIKASI ANTARBUDAYA DALAM ROMAN ICH LERNE DEUTSCH KARYA DENIS LACHAUD
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan model kompetensi komunikasi antarbudaya dalam roman Ich lerne deutsch karya Denis Lachaud dengan menggunakan teori Model of Intercultural Communication Competence Byram dan Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity Bennett. Sumber data adalah naskah Ich lerne deutsch karya Denis Lachaud yang diterbitkan oleh Diana Verlag pada tahun 2001. Data diperoleh dengan teknik baca dan catat. Teknik analisis data adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Keabsahan data dengan validitas semantik dan expert judgement. Reliabilitas adalah reliabilitas intrarater dan interrater. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dalam roman Ich lerne deutsch terdapat dua model kompetensi komunikasi antarbudaya yaitu; (1) Model of Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC) Byram yang terdiri atas; (a) sikap, (b) pengetahuan, (c) ketrampilan menafsirkan dan mengaitkan, (d) ketrampilan penemuan dan interaksi, (e) kesadaran budaya kritis. Model ini direpresentasikan melalui tokoh-tokoh antara lain Ernst Wommel (paling dominan), Katarina Wommel, Monsieur Farnat, keluarga Faures, Thierry Fornerie, keluarga Bauer, Madame Ladureé, dr. Salavoux, dan Peter. (2) Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) Bennett yang terdiri atas; (a) etnosentrisme. Tahap etnosentrisme meliputi sikap penolakan perbedaan, pertahanan terhadap perbedaan dan minimalisasi perbedaan. Model ini didominasi oleh tokoh-tokoh yang anti terhadap tokoh utama (Ernst Wommel), antara lain teman-teman di sekolah Ernst, Horst Wommel, beberapa warga Paris, dan Katarina Wommel. (b) Etnorelativisme. Tahap etnorelativisme meliputi kompetensi penerimaan perbedaan, adaptasi terhadap perbedaan dan penyatuan perbedaan yang ditunjukkan antara lain oleh Ernst Wommel (dominan), Madame Ginimo, keluarga Bauer, teman Ernst, Katarina Wommel, Thierry Fornerie, dan Rolf
