Trilobitofoenus Macedo, n. gen.
No full textTrilobitofoenus Macedo n. gen. (Figs. 5, 6g, 7 g –h, 8 b, 11 i –n, 12 e–g, 13g –i, 14 f, 15) Type species. Trilobitofoenus plaumanni Macedo. Etymology. The name of the genus is derived from Trilobite, because of the mesoscutum sculpture, which in dorsal view, gives to the wasp the appearance of a trilobite (Figs. 12 e–g). The gender is masculine. Description. Body length between 10.0–15.0 mm (exclusive of ovipositor). Head. Subtrapezoidal in dorsal view (Figs. 11 i, 11 k, 11m); mandible in frontal view with apex acute; malar space short, almost disconnected from gena (Figs. 11 j, 11 l, 11 n); clypeus with a longitudinal ridge (Fig. 6g); clypeus and face without longitudinal striae; occipital margin simple (Figs. 11 i, 11 k, 11m). Mesosoma. Pronotum with three lobes well defined (Figs. 13 g-i); pronotal process absent (Figs. 13 g-i); propleuron collar shaped anteriorly (Fig. 8 b); mesonotum rounded in lateral view (Figs. 13 g-i); mesoscutum with anterior portion rather smooth and posterior portion rugose or striate, as long as wide, and forming two different planes separated by depressed notauli, parapsides distinct (Figs. 12 e-g); mesepimeron with a dorsal ridge (Figs. 13 g-i); fore and middle tibiae uniformly colored; hind tibia entirely black to dark brown; metacoxa rather smooth at posterior portion (Fig. 14 f); median propodeal carina flattened, either present at anterior half, or absent; fore wing jugal lobe present; discal cell present (subtriangular) (Fig. 7 g) or absent (Fig. 7 h), vein r–m present (spectral) or absent, fore wing vein 2 –M tubular in 1 st 1 / 3 and spectral in remaining portion (Fig. 5 a); hind wing with 3–5 equidistant hamuli (Fig. 5 a). Metasoma. First metasomal tergum with edges separate, not concealing 1 st sternum; female subgenital sternum with a slitlike Y-shaped notch (as Fig. 10 a); ovipositor longer than T 2 +T 3 and shorter than metasoma (Fig. 5). Distribution. Neotropical: Mexico (Chiapas), Guatemala, Brazil (Amazonas and Santa Catarina). Trilobitofoenus shows a more widespread distribution range than the other two exclusively Neotropical genera, occurring between 15 ºN and 27 ºS (Fig. 15). Species occur in tropical rainforests (southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Amazon) and in an area originally occupied by a subtropical conifer forest in southern Brazil. Biology. Unknown. Comments. There is scarce material of this genus, with each species recorded for only one or two localities.Published as part of Macedo, Antonio Carlos Cruz, 2009, Generic classification for the Gasteruptiinae (Hymenoptera: Gasteruptiidae) based on a cladistic analysis, with the description of two new Neotropical genera and the revalidation of Plutofoenus Kieffer, pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 2075 on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18721

I decided not to group the <i>Spinolafoenus</i> + <i>Trilobitofoenus</i> clade into a unique genus because of the six synapomorphies exclusively shared by the <i>Trilobitofoenus</i> species. The autapomorphies of <i>Spinolafoenus</i> are the crenulate occipital margin, the truncate mesonotum, and the entirely light ovipositor sheath. These autapomorphies are not exclusive of <i>Spinolafoenus</i>. However, the genus has other exclusive characters in Gasteruptiinae that were not used in the cladistic analysis: mesosoma uniformly areolate; metacoxa areolate at posterior portion; and longitudinal axis of propodeum slightly concave. The <i>Spinolafoenus</i> isolation was probably the result of the Andes formation.</p>Published as part of <i>Macedo, Antonio Carlos Cruz, 2009, Generic classification for the Gasteruptiinae (Hymenoptera: Gasteruptiidae) based on a cladistic analysis, with the description of two new Neotropical genera and the revalidation of Plutofoenus Kieffer, pp. 1-32 in Zootaxa 2075</i> on page 16, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/187219">10.5281/zenodo.187219</a>

Cape Verde and Mozambique as Development Successes in West and Southern Africa
No full textThis paper applies an interpretation of how globalization and governance (G&G) interact with convergence given Cape Verde and Mozambique’s particular geographical and historical contexts. We hold that development success under globalization entails, necessarily but not exclusively, positive market perceptions regarding the orientation and predictability of policies as well as the accompanying institutional arrangements. As such, a positive G&G interaction with respect to a comparator group can usefully be defined as success notwithstanding the inexistence of a universally applicable development model. In practical terms, we first identify macro-level policy and institutional combinations underpinning successful trade diversification (an indicator of globalization) and income convergence (an indicator of governance) in the sub-regions of West and Southern Africa. We then assess to what extent these combinations apply to both countries using an empirical analysis. We find that trade openness drives convergence and export diversification in Western Africa (which is becoming more diversified) while convergence is instead driven by economic and political freedoms in Southern Africa (which is becoming more specialized). Our empirical analysis is complemented by a case-study narrative of Cape Verde and Mozambique’s long-term development, which allows us to also identify the following common drivers: moving towards a market economy; opening up to regional and global trade; increasing economic and political freedom; pursing macroeconomic stability and financial reputation; ensuring policy continuity (especially in the industrial and trade sectors) and focusing on human development (especially education and poverty reduction). Moreover, both countries reveal convergence compared to their sub-regional peers when looking at average GDP per capita and indicators of financial reputation and good governance. While these findings are insufficient to conclude that convergence will be sustained, the positive interaction between trade and financial globalization, on the one hand, and good governance and democracy, on the other, may help explain the observed diversity of the Portuguese-speaking African community, which includes three other countries (Angola, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé e Príncipe).

The Macedo-Malone antegrade continence enema procedure: Early experience
No full textPurpose: the successful treatment of fecal incontinence can dramatically improve the quality of life of affected children. the introduction of the Malone antegrade continence enema provides the opportunity to manage previously resistant cases. However, using the appendix to create this catheterizable channel is not always possible, and the duration of these antegrade enemas is a source of concern for the patients. We describe a new approach to create left continent colonic access to shorten the duration of these enemas, and report the experience gained from the first 9 cases managed at our institution.Materials and Methods: During a 5-year period 9 patients underwent a Macedo-Malone antegrade continence enema at our institution. Incontinence was associated with myelomeningocele in 7 patients and anorectal malformation in 2. the antegrade continence enema procedure is begun by isolating a 2 cm flap in a tenia on the left colon (spleen flexure). A 12Fr silicone Foley catheter is placed on the mucosal surface of the flap to allow tubularization of the plate with interrupted polyglycolic acid 3-zero transverse sutures, creating an efferent tubular conduit. Antegrade colonic washouts were started 2 weeks after surgery with saline solution or tap water in all patients.Results: Followup of our 9 cases ranged from 8 to 33 months (average 20.7). Enema volume varied from 250 to 800 ml, with administration taking from 45 to 60 minutes, and colonic evacuation occurred within 30 to 60 minutes of enema administration. of the 9 patients 8 were completely continent and 1 was partially continent. Four patients experienced difficulty with catheterization initially because of stenosis of the stomal track. the affected stomas were dilated, which was successful in 1 case. Three patients subsequently required stomal revision.Conclusions: the Macedo-Malone procedure is a relatively straightforward operative approach providing an effective washout technique that is acceptable to parents and children.Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Dept Urol, Div Pediat Urol, São Paulo, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Dept Urol, Div Pediat Urol, São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc
