Laevimon Yeo & Ng, 2005, new genus
No full textLaevimon, new genus Type species. Laevimon kottelati, new species, by present designation. Diagnosis. Carapace distinctly transverse, high; dorsal surface strongly convex longitudinally and transversely; smooth; grooves weak to indistinct; regions poorly defined; epigastric cristae very weak, indistinct, confluent with postorbital cristae; postorbital cristae indistinct, rounded; antennular fossae slitlike; external orbital angle acutely triangular, separated from epibranchial tooth by distinct, rounded cleft; epibranchial tooth distinct, very low, rounded; anterolateral margin distinctly convex, entire, very weakly cristate; median tooth of posterior margin of epistome low, lateral and outer parts forming continuous sinuous margin, with lateral part convex and outer part gently concave. Ischium of third maxilliped broadly rectangular; exopod reaching beyond upper edge of ischium, with well developed flagellum subequal to or exceeding width of merus. Chelipeds distinctly unequal. Ambulatory legs moderately long, with long, slender dactyli. Suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 demarcated by strong ridge; abdominal cavity reaching imaginary line joining median points of coxae of chelipeds. Male abdomen narrowly triangular. G 1 terminal segment about 0.3 times length of subterminal segment, subcylindrical, straight, tip truncate with inner distal angle produced as sharp, narrow projection, proximal part with narrow, humplike, dorsal flap; subterminal segment relatively slender. G 2 with distal segment longer than half of basal segment. Etymology. The genus name is derived from laevis, Latin for smooth or polished, in arbitrary combination with the genus name, Potamon, in allusion to the carapace form of the genus. The gender is neuter. Remarks. Laevimon, new genus, is morphologically closest to Hainanpotamon Dai, 1995, owing to its high, swollen and smooth carapace; long exopod flagellum of third maxilliped; long, slender ambulatory dactyli; and slender G 1 with a short, straight terminal segment and narrow, proximal dorsal flap. Laevimon, however, can be immediately distinguished from Hainanpotamon by the following characters: i) carapace proportionately more strongly convex and raised laterally (versus carapace relatively less strongly convex); ii) postorbital cristae indistinct (versus postorbital cristae distinct); iii) epibranchial tooth very low, rounded (versus epibranchial tooth relatively more developed, triangular); iv) anterolateral margin entire, very weakly cristate (versus anterolateral margin weakly serrated, relatively more distinctly cristate); v) posterior margin of epistome with the lateral and outer parts forming a continuous sinuous margin, with the convex lateral part confluent with the gently concave outer part (versus posterior margin of the epistome with the lateral parts straight and distinct from gently concave outer parts); vi) suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 demarcated by distinct, strong ridge (versus suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 not discernible); and vii) G 1 terminal segment subcylindrical, with tip truncate (versus G 1 terminal segment conical, with tip tapered) (Figs. 2–6; Dang 1967: fig. 6, 1980: fig. 242; Dang & Tran 1992: figs. 1, 2; see also Table 1; Dai 1995). Other Indochinese potamiscine genera that have swollen, smooth, eggshaped carapaces similar to Laevimon are Thaipotamon Ng & Naiyanetr, 1993 [Thailand], Thaiphusa Ng & Naiyanetr, 1993 [Thailand], and Pudaengon Ng & Naiyanetr, 1995 [Thailand, Laos]. Laevimon is immediately differentiated from these by its unique suite of characters of the third maxilliped, thoracic sternum and G 1 (see Table 1). Crabs of the genus Tiwaripotamon Bott, 1970 [central Vietnam to southern China] also have a relatively smooth carapace (Bott 1970, Ng & Yeo 2001). However, the genus can immediately be distinguished by their distinctly lower and flatter carapace; slender, elongated legs; and third maxilliped with a squarish ischium having a shallow or no sulcus, and a short exopod with a short flagellum. This contrasts with Laevimon species, all of which have a high, swollen carapace; ambulatory legs that are not unusually elongated; and a third maxilliped with a rectangular ischium possessing a distinct sulcus, and a long exopod with a long flagellum (Figs. 2 A, B, 3 A, 4 A, B; cf. Bott 1970, Dai 1999, Ng & Yeo 2001). Distribution. Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa Province, northern Vietnam; Nghe Tinh Province, central Vietnam (Dang & Tran 1992).

Kottelat et al., 25 Sep. 1998. Paratypes: 1 female (44.9 by 33.5 mm) (ZRC 2004.696), unnamed stream on road from National Park HQ to Gia Luan, about 2–3 km, northern Vietnam, coll. M. Kottelat et al., 26 Sep. 1998; 3 males (largest 27.6 by 20.9 mm) (ZRC 2004.697), Cat Ba Island, 20 º 4757 ” N 107 º00’05” E, northern Vietnam, coll. T. Whitten, 1998. Description. Carapace (Fig. 2 A, B) distinctly transverse, 1.32–1.35 times broader than long, high; dorsal surface strongly convex longitudinally and transversely, glabrous; regions indistinct; cervical grooves faint; Hshaped groove also indistinct. Epigastric cristae poorly developed, rounded, smooth, very weakly separated by faint groove, slightly anterior to postorbital cristae, confluent with postorbital cristae; postorbital cristae indistinct, straight, rounded, smooth, confluent with epibranchial teeth; regions behind epigastric and postorbital cristae smooth. Frontal margin very gently sinuous, cristate; frontal region strongly deflexed downwards, smooth; antennular fossae slitlike when viewed from front; supraorbital margin very gently sinuous, cristate; infraorbital margin straight, cristate; orbital region relatively narrow; eyes normally developed; subhepatic and subbranchial regions rugose. External orbital angle well developed, acutely triangular, outer margin subequal to inner margin, margins cristate, with shallow, narrow, rounded cleft separating it from epibranchial tooth; epibranchial tooth weak, low, rounded; anterolateral margin strongly convex, indistinctly cristate, almost smooth, entire, not confluent with posterolateral margin, running inwards posteriorly; posterolateral margin strongly converging posteriorly, entire, gently convex; branchial region smooth, inflated; metabranchial region smooth, lacking oblique striae. Epistome with median triangle on anterior margin; median tooth on posterior margin very low, broadly triangular, lateral and outer parts forming continuous sinuous margin, with gently concave outer parts and convex lateral parts; median endostomial ridge hardly visible (Fig. 2 B). Third maxilliped glabrous; ischium broadly rectangular, with distinct longitudinal median sulcus; merus squarish, subequal to half of ischium length, with concave outer surface, with smooth margins; palp threesegmented, with tip exceeding proximal margin of merus, lacking any distinctive feature; exopod long, exceeding distal margin of ischium, straight, distally tapered, inner margin of distal part produced as a tooth, flagellum well developed, longer than or subequal to width of merus (Figs. 2 B, 3 A). Chelipeds unequal, outer surface of merus, carpus and palm weakly rugose; fingers strongly gaping, longer than palm, tips hooked and overlapping, carpus armed with robust, obliquely directed subdistal spine on inner margin; merus without subterminal spine (Fig. 2 A). Chelipeds similar in males and females. Ambulatory legs glabrous, relatively short and stout; dactyli elongated, slender; merus unarmed, with upper margin weakly serrated; dactylus of fourth ambulatory leg about 1.3 times as long as propodus, about 6.2 times longer than proximal width; propodus, carpus and merus rugose (Fig. 2 A). Suture between thoracic sternites 2 and 3 distinct, complete, straight; groove or suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 demarcated by distinct, strong, complete ridge, fused with tip of margin of abdominal cavity; thoracic sternites 5 and 6 medially interrupted; thoracic sternite 7 completely separated by longitudinal median line; thoracic sternite 8 completely separated by longitudinal median line, lacking transverse ridge; abdominal cavity reaching imaginary line joining median part of coxae of chelipeds (Figs. 1, 2 C). Male abdomen narrowly triangular; telson narrowly triangular, longer than or subequal to proximal width, slightly longer than sixth segment, lateral margins gently concave, tip rounded, proximal margin almost straight; segment 6 elongate rectangular or trapezoidal, median length about half of proximal width, proximal margin almost straight, lateral margins convex; lateral margins of segments 3 to 5 convex (Fig. 2 C). G 1 gently sinuous, slender; terminal segment clearly separated from subterminal segment, relatively short and stout, about 0.3 times length of subterminal segment, subcylindrical, straight, without longitudinal torsion, without swelling on inner margin, dorsal flap present in proximal part, relatively high, narrow, humplike, tip truncate with inner distal angle produced as sharp, narrow projection; groove for accommodation of G 2 marginal; subterminal segment slender, not distinctly constricted or necklike distally, without shelf on upper part of outer margin (Fig. 3 B–E). G 2 with distal segment distinctly longer than half of basal segment, slender, tapering distally, without distal projection; outer margin of basal segment gently convex (Fig. 3 F). Etymology. The species is named after its collector, Dr. Maurice Kottelat. Remarks. Laevimon kottelati, new species, is very similar to L. tankiense (Dang & Tran, 1992). Laevimon kottelati can, however, still be easily separated from L. tankiense by the differences of the carapace and G 1: i) carapace relatively less broad, 1.32–1.35 times broader than long (versus carapace broader, 1.43–1.52 times broader than long); ii) anterolateral and posterolateral margins relatively less strongly convex and less strongly converging, respectively (versus anterolateral and posterolateral margins relatively more strongly convex and more strongly converging, respectively); iii) cleft separating external orbital angle and epibranchial tooth relatively narrower, less distinct (versus cleft relatively broader, more distinct); iv) epibranchial tooth relatively lower and weaker (versus epibranchial tooth relatively higher and more strongly developed); v) ridge demarcating suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 complete, fused with tip of margin of abdominal cavity (versus ridge demarcating suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 incomplete, broken medially, not fused with tip of margin of abdominal cavity); vi) male abdominal segment 6 lateral margins distinctly convex (versus male abdominal segment 6 lateral margins very gently convex to almost straight); vii) G 1 terminal segment relatively more slen der, with a relatively higher and narrower dorsal flap (versus G 1 terminal segment relatively stouter, with a relatively lower and broader dorsal flap); and viii) G 1 subterminal segment is relatively more slender (versus subterminal segment relatively broader) (Figs. 2–6). Ecological note. The specimens of Laevimon kottelati were collected from along the stream banks as well as a short distance from the streams (M. Kottelat, pers. comm.). This semiterrestrial habit is unusual for freshwater crabs with such carapace physiognomy (high, swollen carapace), instead normally being associated with more terrestrial forest habitats (e.g., Terrapotamon abbbotti, Thaiphusa sirikit, Thaipotamon chulabhorn, Pudaengon spp.) or poorlyoxygenated aquatic habitats (e.g., Somanniathelphusa spp.) (Naiyanetr 1992, 1993; Ng 1993; Ng & Naiyanetr 1993, 1995, 1998; Ng & Kosuge 1997; pers. observ.). Distribution. Hai Phong, northern Vietnam. Laevimon tankiense (Dang & Tran, 1992) (Figs. 4–6) Orientalia tankiensis Dang & Tran, 1992: 19, Fig. 2; Dang & Ho, 2001: 74, Fig. 9. Hainanpotamon tankiensis.— Yeo & Ng, 1999: 641. Material examined. Holotype: male (40.0 by 26.4 mm) (VNCNST), Tan Ky District, Nghe Tinh Province, northern Vietnam, coll. Jul. 1987. Paratype: 1 female (33.5 by 23.4 mm) (VNCNST), same data as holotype. Diagnosis. Carapace distinctly transverse, 1.43–1.52 times broader than long, high; dorsal surface strongly convex longitudinally and transversely, smooth; epigastric cristae very weak, indistinct; postorbital cristae indistinct, rounded; external orbital angle acutely triangular, separated from epibranchial tooth by distinct, broad rounded cleft; epibranchial tooth low but distinct, rounded; anterolateral and posterolateral margins very strongly convex and strongly converging, respectively. Third maxilliped exopod reaching beyond distal margin of ischium, flagellum well developed, subequal to or exceeding width of merus. Ambulatory dactyli long, slender. Suture between thoracic sternites 3 and 4 demarcated by strong incomplete ridge, not fused with tip of margin of abdominal cavity. Male abdomen narrowly triangular; segment 6 with lateral margins very gently convex. G 1 terminal segment about 0.3 times length of subterminal segment; subcylindrical, straight, tip truncate with inner distal angle produced as sharp, narrow projection, with narrow, humplike, dorsal flap in proximal part; subterminal segment relatively slender. G 2 with distal segment longer than halflength of basal segment. Remarks. Laevimon tankiense (Dang & Tran, 1992) differs from its only congener, L. kottelati, new species, by several characters of the carapace, thoracic sternum and G 1 (see Remarks for Laevimon kottelati). The first author examined the types of this species while visiting the VNCNST but, unfortunately, was unable to illustrate specimens. Dang & Tran’s (1992) figure 2 and Dang & Ho’s (2001) figure 9 are therefore reproduced here in Figs. 5 and 6 for comparison. Although the drawings by Dang & Tran (1992) and Dang & Ho (2001) are rather diagrammatic, they nevertheless agree relatively well with the types reexamined. Dang & Tran’s (1992: fig. 2) drawing of the G 1 was made with the structure tilted on its side and hence their figure may be somewhat misleading. In any case, the G 1 of L. kottelati, when viewed and compared from all possible orientations, neither matches the G 1 of the holotype examined by the first author nor the published illustrations of L. tankiense (Dang & Tran 1992, Dang & Ho 2001). Therefore, we are certain that we are dealing with interspecific differences between L. kottelati and L. tankiense. Ecological note. The species occurs in streams in hilly or mountainous areas (Dang & Ho 2001). Distribution. Thanh Hoa Province, northern Vietnam; Nghe Tinh Province, central Vietnam (Dang & Tran 1992).Published as part of Yeo, Darren C. J. & Ng, Peter K.

Desarrollo financiero, inversión extranjera directa, regímenes cambiarios y crecimiento económico: nueva evidencia de las economías africanas
No full textThis paper examines empirically the extent to which financial development, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and exchange rate regime (ERR) altogether influence positively economic growth in Africa. To achieve this, we build two baseline panel data samples of African countries and new expanded datasets spanning 1980-2015 using a small sample adjusted Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. To check the robustness of our results, we build two other panel samples by adding on the two previous panel data samples, data from emerging and developed countries and repeat the analysis. The results from the estimations suggest that financial development, FDI influence positively and significantly economic growth, whereas exchange rate regime has no significant effect on economic performance, controlling for the usual growth- regression variables like trade openness, human capital, investment, governance, and the lagged value of per capita GDP.En este documento se examina empíricamente en qué medida en que el desarrollo financiero, la inversión extranjera directa (IED) y el régimen cambiario influyen en el crecimiento económico de África. Con este fin, se construyen dos muestras de datos de panel de países africanos y nuevos conjuntos de datos ampliados que abarcan 1980-2015 y se estima un modelo utilizando un estimador ajustado para muestras pequeñas del Método Generalizado de Momentos (GMM). Los resultados de las estimaciones sugieren que el desarrollo financiero y la IED influyen positiva y significativamente en el crecimiento económico en África, mientras que el régimen cambiario no tiene un efecto significativo en el crecimiento económico, controlando por las variables habituales como la apertura del comercio, el capital humano, la inversión, la gobernanza y el valor rezagado del PIB per cápita. Para verificar la robustez de nuestros resultados, construimos otras dos muestras de panel agregando datos de países emergentes y desarrollados y se repite el análisis encontrando resultados satisfactorios y similares.Fil: Grandes, Martin.

Amusements of the people : the provision of recreation in Leicester, 1850-1914
No full textThe thesis takes as its subject the development of cultural forms and institutions,
exploring constraints on the exercise of choice in the use of non-work time in an evolving
capitalist society. By means of a local study, it aims to describe relationships between
aspects of popular recreation, especially those involving working class participation, and
to relate these to economic and political circumstances. The study focuses upon individuals
and organisations providing facilities and creating institutions in which non-work time
was spent outside the home.
The body of the thesis consists of discrete but interrelated studies of themes in the
development of recreation in Leicester. These concern the relationship between recreation
and the workplace (ch.1), the role of religious organisations as providers and critics of
recreational activities (ch.2), initiatives by the municipal authorities (ch.3) and licensing
magistrates (ch.4), the bases of commercial provision in the drink trade, theatre and sport
(chs.4-6) and the engagement of the labour movement (ch.7).
The thesis is written from a critical standpoint which acknowledges as fundamental
to the understanding of 19th century recreation the uneven distribution of free time,
power and money within capitalist society. But while social control and hegemony are
exploited as pointers to appropriate areas of study, they are found wanting as explanations
of complex historical reality.
In its empirical conclusions, the study confirms the significance of relationships
between work and culture, identifying ways in which the economic development of Leicester
constrained recreational provision. Commercial agencies are shown to have been relatively
weak during much of the period whereas municipal and religious organisations were
of considerable importance from the 1860s until the end of the period of study
Engaging China – Reflections from the EU’s and ASEAN’s Responses. EU Centre Background Brief, 3rd January 2019
No full textChina’s rise as a global economic and trading power has taken on a new significance for the Asia-Pacific region as well as the western world in light of USA’s increasing protectionism under the Trump administration. This brief will explore how regional organizations like the Association for South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the European Union (EU) as well as their member states respond to the rise of China and its increasing assertiveness in projecting its power and protecting its interests globally. China’s geographical proximity to South East Asia and the power competition between China and USA are important factors that shape the responses of ASEAN nations. This brief looks at the “hedging” and “bandwagoning” strategy employed by ASEAN member states against China. On the other hand, being a more unified actor than ASEAN and a central pillar for a rule-based multilateral world order, the EU hopes to constructively manage its internal differences while engaging China in its reform process. Upon closer look, the author finds that the EU, like ASEAN, is challenged by an unpredictable and unilateral America First under Trump, and an increasingly assertive China. To manage the rising tensions and uncertainties, both regional organisations need to be more cohesive and united. They should also work more closely together to uphold a rule-based multilateral order
Book review: Varieties of State Regulation: How China Regulates Its Socialist Market Economy. Yeo, Yukyung (2020). Cambridge (MA) and London: Harvard University Press
No full textInternational audienceThe book review based on Varieties of State Regulation: How China Regulates Its Socialist Market Economy resumes the main findings of the book and presents several suggestions. The book by Professor Yukyung Yeo points out the particularity in the regulation practices of China. Navigating between the neoliberal and statist approaches which have been developed in industrialized countries, Yeo advances and tests the market-instutitonal approach which has been proven very robust for making sense of the regulatory practices in contemporary China. However, the sectors that the author has researched into -- automobile and telecommunications -- are examined through an economic lens. The political dimension of the regulation -- which is increasingly important for Chinese leaders -- could have been developed in greater detail
