From hospital contributory schemes to health cash plans: mutualism in health care in the post-war period.
No full textThe article traces the post-war history of the British hospital contributory schemes, which had developed during the inter-war years to the point where, through the accumulation of small weekly contributions from a mass membership, they provided substantial proportions of hospital income. A minority of contributory schemes remained in existence post-1948, but their subsequent development has received little attention. Some evolved into provident associations offering private health insurance; others remained committed to the provision of low-cost benefits to a blue-collar clientele, and continued to be known as hospital contributory schemes. This article outlines the principal features of the contributory schemes' contemporary history. We first explore why many schemes decided to continue in existence. The next section uses national and individual scheme records to delineate the market niche which they captured and to investigate their role in post-war health provision, relative to the state system. In particular we trace the decline of convalescent home benefit, and the gradual trend towards a more uniform benefit package, of which optical and dental grants were the most popular. We then survey patterns of membership and account for the main trends in support for cash plan products since 1950. Finally, we ask to what extent the schemes were able to retain their character as a ‘movement’ with distinctive mutualist and charitable features, particularly in the more competitive environment of the later twentieth century
Scaphoideus varna Viraktamath and Mohan
No full textScaphoideus varna Viraktamath and Mohan (Figs. 13–16 & 44–57) Scaphoideus varna Viraktamath and Mohan 2004: 43 Material Examined: INDIA: Meghalaya: Barapani RRTC: 2 ♂ & 3 ♀ (25 ° 6 ' 29 "N 92 ° 21 ' 42 "E, 1379 M), 01.vi. 2011, grasses, Coll. Naresh Meshram (NPC). Measurements (mm): Male 4.4 long, 1.1 wide across eyes, 0.8 wide across hind margin of pronotum. Female 4.4 mm long, 1.1 mm wide across eyes, 0.9 mm wide across hind margin of pronotum. Female coloration as in male (Figs. 44–49). Seventh sternum with narrow caudal projection broadly produced with a shallow notch in middle (Fig. 55). Second gonapophyses in lateral view broad in middle, bearing dorsal teeth; small denticles between each triangular tooth throughout its length; in lateral view with irregular sculpturing in distal 2 / 3 margin (Figs. 56–57). The illustrations given herein will add to the description by Viraktamath and Mohan (2004). Remarks: This species was described by Viraktamath and Mohan (2004) from Myanmar but the female was not described. Its male genitalia (Fig. 50–54) exhibit minor variations in the size of the apophysis of the style (Fig. 52) and aedeagus (Fig. 50). These seem to be intraspecific variations. Male and female specimens collected from Barapani, Meghalaya establish it as a new record from India.Published as part of Meshram, Naresh M., 2014, Three new species of the genus Scaphoideus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with notes on the female of Scaphoideus varna from India, pp. 185-194 in Zootaxa 3754 (2) on pages 190-194, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3754.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/22700
Down Memory Lane Preface
No full textThis is a tribute to all of you, the elders, who served
CMFRI in various capacities in the past 60 years to make
this institution a standing testimony to the devotion and
dedication of the numerous scientists, technical and administrative staff who made this institution stand apart Mohan Joseph Modayil
and shine amidst the best marine fisheries institutions in the world. Hats
off to each one of you for what you have done for CMFRI, the fruits of
which are here to stay. My personal gratitude to all of you for all the
support and encouragement you have been giving me in the past seven
years and I will always cherish the time I spent in CMFRI, contributing
my small mite to the development of this premier institution. I had requested
several of our former colleagues to write a few words about their memories
in CMFRI. Many responded promptly, a few thought it was not worth
writing. I thank you all for putting in so few words so much of feelings
and emotions which truly reflect what CMFRI means to each one of you.
And let me assure you all that each one of you mean so much for each one
of us passing through the corridors of this great institution, reminding us
that there are miles to go before we sleep, miles to go before we sleep. Thank
you all

Scaphoideus malaisei Viraktamath & Mohan, 2004, sp. nov.
No full textScaphoideus malaisei sp. nov. Figs 125–130. Coloration similar to that of sculptus but the transverse bands on pronotum not very distinctive. Face with a series of six transverse brown stripes on upper part. Head triangularly produced in front with bluntly angled apex. Vertex shorter than interocular width. Male genitalia: Pygophore longer than high, caudal lobe rounded. Subgenital plate triangular, elongate, 4 times as long as broad at base, with four long setae near base, three forming an oblique line. Style with welldeveloped preapical lobe, broad at proximal region, apophysis long, distally narrowed, slightly curved laterally. Connective with stem longer than arms, with a dorsal keel, paraphyses running parallel to each other in proximal half then divergent, in lateral view curved caudodorsally, in distal 0.33, with serrated lateral margin subapically. Aedeagus broad at base, shaft narrowed distally with a pair of denticles at apex in dorsal margin, with ventral and lateral furrows, gonopore subapical, dorsal apodeme as long as shaft in lateral aspect. Measurements: Male 5.50 mm long, 1.37 mm wide across eyes. Material examined: MYANMAR: Holotype ɗ, N.E. BURMA: Kambaiti, 7000 ft,(2123 m), 18.v. 1935, R. Malaise, Brit. Mus., 1935 – 630 (BMNH). Remarks: S. malaisei externally resembles sculptus. It can be readily distinguished from sculptus and other species of Scaphoideus by the structure of the aedeagus.Published as part of Viraktamath, C. A. & Mohan, G. S., 2004, A revision of the deltocephaline leafhopper genus Scaphoideus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-48 in Zootaxa 578 on page 30, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.16910
