Gazera heliconioides subsp. micha H. Druce 1896
No full textGazera heliconioides micha (H. Druce, 1896) (Fig. 13) Castnia micha (H. Druce, 1896) Taxonomic history. Described in the genus Castnia by Druce (1896) but later included in the genus Cabirus by Houlbert (1918). Talbot (1919) mentions that micha “can only be considered as a race and not as a distinct species”. Distribution. This subspecies is known from Bolivia, Paraguay and South East Brazil (Miller 1986; Lamas 1995; Rothschild 1919). Jörgensen (1930) states that it is common in all the Eastern region of Paraguay. It is, apparently, together with Castnia invaria penelope, the commonest castniid species in Paraguay. Jörgensen (1930) mentions that it flies in forested areas, near bromeliads (Bromelia sp. and Ananas sp.). It is frequently found perching close to the ground at the base of leaves or grasses and the way the moth rests and its wing and body coloration (Fig. 20 b) allows it to “disappear” in the surroundings. The first author observed individuals flying in urban places of Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay. He also observed them flying in Sapucay, Paraguarí Department and in Cerro Corá, Amambay Department. Ulf Drechsel (pers. comm.) collected and observed specimens in Sapucay, Paraguarí Department, and in Areguá, Central Department; while Contreras (2009) collected them in Ñeembucú Department. Biology and behavior. Like all taxa in the genus, they have a close resemblance to members of Lycorea Doubleday (Nymphalidae: Danainae), Thyridia Hübner and Methona Doubleday (Nymphalidae: Danainae, Ithomiini), and to Notophyson heliconides (Swainson) (Erebidae: Arctiinae, Pericopini) (Miller 1986; Lamas 1973). Two males were observed by the first author in Paraguarí and Amambay Departments, while flying low and slowly, along paths surrounded with Bromelia balansae Mez, which allowed for easy collection. They also perched close to the ground (Fig. 21). These observations clearly contrast with those made by Contreras (2009) in more disturbed habitats, where specimens were found flying fast, strongly and very high (7–8 m above ground).The host plant is unknown, but we suspect that the larvae feed on Bromelia spp. and/or Ananas spp. Contreras (2009) mentions that Orchidaceae could also be hosts of this species.

Micha Ullman: specific and general
No full textTento text si klade za cíl předvést důležitou edukační interpretační praxi,která souvisí s analýzou edukovaného díla, totiž s budováním zdůvodněnéhokontextu pro vybranou strategii. V první části textu Micha Ullman: sochyna rozhraní nebe – země prozkoumáme dílo autora, který začal tvořit v se-dmdesátých letech a jeho tvorba je kontinuálně vystavována.V druhé části Strategie a její variace: nalezení shodného při vědomí odliš-ností teoreticky zakotvíme odlišnost mezi konkrétní praxí autora a strategiíjako objevenou obecninou. Objevovat strategie, umět je chápat ve spojitostis určitou dobou, znamená, že při významných shodách zároveň zazname-náváme odlišnosti a vsazujeme jev do adekvátního kontextu. Je to jednakvelmi účinná edukativní možnost, jak chápat dějiny oboru v souvislostecha trsech a neutápět se v jednotlivých případech autorských řešení, ale takémožnost, jak pro jednotlivé autory získat výkladový rámec porovnáváníma vyhledáváním shod při podstatných odlišnostech s jinými.This text aims to demonstrate an important educational interpretation prac-tice that is related to the analysis of the educated work, namely to buildinga justified context for the chosen strategy. In the first part of the text MichaUllman: sculptures at the interface of heaven and earth, we will explore thework of the author, who started creating in the seventies and whose workis continuously exhibited.In the second part, Strategy and its variations: finding the same whilebeing aware of differences, we theoretically anchor the difference betweenthe specific practice of the author and strategy as a discovered generality.Discovering strategies, being able to understand them in connection witha certain time, means that in case of significant similarities, we simultaneou-sly note differences and place the phenomenon in an adequate context. It is,on the one hand, a very effective educational opportunity to understand thehistory of the field in contexts and clusters and not to get bogged down inindividual cases of authorial solutions, but also an opportunity to obtain aninterpretive framework for individual authors by comparing and searchingfor similarities in substantial differences with others

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with multiple sclerosis in Germany and the United Kingdom: Gender-specific results from a longitudinal observational study
No full textBACKGROUND: Vaccines offer people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) an effective protection against severe COVID-19 disease courses. However, representative real-world data on the tolerability of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in PwMS are limited. We aimed at analysing vaccination reactions (VRs) and MS deterioration following SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations in German and United Kingdom (UK) PwMS, especially regarding gender-specific differences. METHODS: The German Multiple Sclerosis Society and the UK MS Registry acquired health data via an online system following the first (X(1)) and second SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (X(2)), respectively: sociodemographic and clinical data, vaccines used, VRs, MS deterioration (worsened or new MS symptoms, Germany only) and relapses (Germany only). The frequencies of VRs and MS deterioration were analysed stratified by gender. FINDINGS: Following X(1) (X(2)), 2346 (1835) German PwMS and 3796 (683) UK PwMS participated in the study. The most frequent vaccination scheme was two-dose tozinameran for Germany (77·1%, 1424/1847) and two-dose AZD1222 for the UK (61·3%, 419/683). The most common VRs were fatigue, headache and pain (at the injection site) and occurred more often in women compared with men. German PwMS reported VRs more frequently after X(2) vs. X(1) (65·4% [1201/1835] vs. 61·2% [1435/2346]), while for UK patients it was the opposite (X(1) vs. X(2): 48·7% [1849/3796] vs. 30·0% [205/683]). MS deterioration occurred in 19·0% (445/2346) of the German PwMS without resulting in gender-specific differences. Fatigue and gait impairment were the most frequent deteriorated MS symptoms. INTERPRETATION: Female PwMS reported experiencing VRs more often than men. Longitudinal data are needed to enable valid statements regarding long-term MS deterioration and long-lasting VRs.

No full textGrounded, Witness of War
No full textabstract: For my Barrett Honors creative project, I performed George Brant's emotionally gripping and timely one-woman play entitled "Grounded" which tells the story of a fighter pilot who was recommissioned to fly drones after becoming pregnant. The effects of the demanding routine of a drone pilot are masterfully captured as the pilot endures a decline in psychological state caused by the daily circumstances of a pilot fighting in drone warfare. In addition to the performance, I kept a written journal on which I have reflected and summarized in my thesis. The creative project has indeed been one of my most challenging, yet rewarding experiences in performance thus far. With the incredible guidance of Micha Espinosa and Jennifer Linde, I was able to achieve a feat of memorizing and performing an hour and ten minute play that really tested my capacity as an actor. It expanded my skill set as an actor and allowed me to play a female role that escapes the "ingenue role" that I have been cast as constantly in my performance career. I have divided my reflection journal into four separate sections: Statement of Purpose, Background Information on Drone Warfare, Character Development and Methodological Process, Performance Reflection and "Talk-Back." These sections guide the reader through my development from the beginning of the process all the way to final performance
