10. Globale Gesundheit
No full textDurch die Globalisierung werden wir zunehmend mit Problemen konfrontiert, welche Landesgrenzen überschreiten. Auch viele gesundheitspolitische Entscheidungen werden heute auf europäischer Ebene oder unter der Mitarbeit internationaler Organisationen getroffen. In diesem Kapitel betrachten wir Gesundheitsindikatoren sowie Krankheits- und Todesursachen im Hinblick auf das Bevölkerungseinkommen und die Entwicklung in verschiedenen Ländern. Wir analysieren die wichtigsten Faktoren, die die Gesundheit der Menschen in Industrie- und Entwicklungsländern beeinflussen und beschäftigen uns schließlich mit den Strategien und Akteuren, welche die Globale Gesundheit heute prägen
Didineis mokrousovi Schmid-Egger 2022, sp. nov.
No full textDidineis mokrousovi Schmid-Egger, sp. nov. (Figs 1–8) Holotype. ♁, United Arab Emirates, Wadi Bih (dam), 19.i.2010, leg. AvH (CSE). Paratypes: 1 ♁, 4.iv.2009, 1♀, 29.xi.2009. 1♀, 11.ii.2010, 1♀, 2.v.2006, all Wadi Bih (dam); ♀, 29.xi.2009, Al Wathba Wetland Reserve; 1 ♁ 1 ♀, 22.06.2019, Al Bida’a Protected Area, all leg. AS &AvH, in Malaise traps (CSE). Remark: In former reviews of Crabronidae from the UAE (Schmid-Egger, 2011, 2014), specimens of Didineis from Wadi Bih were identified as D. bucharica with the key of Nemkov (2015). In the meantime, we could examine two males and two females of true D. bucharica from Russia, Kalmykia (see Mokrousov et al. (2016) for location and discussion of species). The specimens from the UAE differ in some important details from the Russian specimens, and belong to an undescribed species. A male was choosen as the holotype, because the description of D. bucharica is also based on a male. D. bucharica is restricted in its distribution to southern Russia (Dagestan, Kalmykia and Orenburg Prov.) and to Uzbekistan. Diagnosis. Males of both species are characterized by short and thick flagellomeres, flagellomere I beeing emarginate below. Remaining species have longer and normally rounded flagellomeres. Females of both species have also short and thick flagellomeres, but they share this character with other species from North Africa. See also Nemkov (2015) for further details. For distincion of D. bucharica and D. mokrousovi, see Table 1. . Description of male, holotype (copied and modified from description in Schmid-Egger, 2011). Body length 6 mm. Colour: Black, yellow are: basal 2/3 of mandible, clypeus, large band on inner eye margin, ending in upper 2/3, scape and flagellum below, AS 13, pronotal lobe, basal spot on basal sclerite of forewing. Femora and tibiae reddish, tarsi partly reddish, mostly brown. Wing venation brown, forewing greyish with some darker parts below stigma. Tergum I except base and tergum II laterally red, remaining terga black, last tergum apically somewhat reddish. Morphology: Apical clypeal margin slightly emarginate medially. Flagellum see Figs 2 and 3. Frons, pronotum, mesonotum and upper half of mesopleuron finely punctate, punctures 1–3 diameters apart, interspaces shiny. Punctuation of lower frons very dense. Lower mesopleuron rugulose-punctate. Propodeal surface evenly striate, propodeal enclosure triangular, surrounded by fine keel. Propodeum laterally and on backside rugulose. Terga II–V: basally shiny and with very fine micropunctation, apically punctate with shiny interspaces. Tergum VII densely punctate, apically truncate. Description of female: Body length 8.0 mm. Colour. Black, yellow are basal 2/3 of mandible, clypeus except for basal and lateral margin, narrow band along lower half of inner eye margin, scape below, last tarsomeres. Red are fore tibia, outer side of mid tibia, terga and sternum I and II, tergum II with black apical margin, apex of tergum VI. Wings as in male. Morphology: Flagellum: see fig. 6. Punctuation of head and thorax similar as in male, but much denser. Terga I and II shiny, impunctate, terga III–V similar as in male. Tergum VI in apical half surrounded by keel, forming a large pygidial plate with dense punctuation in apical half and with dense reddish setae. All femora below with long pale setae (2/3 as long as femoral diameter). Distribution. United Arab Emirates. Etymology. The species is dedicated to Mikhail Mokrousov from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, a specialist of Aculeata, who kindly supported this and other projects of the author by sending specimens and information.Published as part of Schmid-Egger, Christian & Harten, Antonius Van, 2022, Additions to the digger wasps (Hymenoptera, Spheciformes) of the United Arab Emirates with description of ten new species, pp. 543-575 in Zootaxa 5219 (6) on pages 544-546, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5219.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/743623

Liebig, coll. Liebig and CSE. R e m a r k: The genus Cryptocheilus is under revision by the senior author. There is no key for species from Iran available, and species can only be recognized by original descriptions. D i a g n o s i s: The female of C. schakuhensis nov.sp. is characterized by colour pattern. It is all black with lateral white spots on T2 and a medial white spot on T4. Inner eye margin has a small white spot. This colour pattern is unique among Cryptocheilus species from the palearctic region. The male is all black, with lower inner eye margin white, and innerside of foretibia orange-red. Wing colour is distinctive: Wings are yellowish-grey infuscate, with wing apex dark with violet shimmer. D e s c r i p t i o n f e m a l e: Body length 13.5 mm. Colour: Black, the following parts whitish (with some yellow tinge): Small round spot on inner eye margin medially, small irregular spot near hindmargin of mesoscutum, large triangular spots on T2 laterally, large oval spot on T4 medially. Mandible medially and foretibia apically with some red. Wings infumate yellowish-greyish, apex dark. Apical clypeal margin emarginated in whole width. Metapostnotum narrow. Propodeum with fine, crosswise striation. Tergites without punctures. Otherwise similar to Crypocheilus elegans. V a r i a t i o n i n f e m a l e s p a r a t y p e s: Paratypes are smaller, 9.5-11.0 mm, and agree otherwise with holotype. D e s c r i p t i o n m a l e: Body length 11.5 mm. Black, large triangular band on inner eye margin (between antennal socket and clypeus) whitish. Innerside of foretibia and small spot on apex of forefemora reddish. Clypeus laterally, lower mesopleuron and coxa with thin silver pubescence. Wings as in females, but contrast between greyyellowish part and dark apex is more distinct as in females. Metapostnotum 0.6x as long as metatnotum, with some distinct rugae. Striation of propodeum coarser as in females. S8 flat, with indistinct medial keel, apically truncate, with a row of short setae around margin in apical half of S8. Genital see fig. 17, SGP see fig. 18. E t y m o l o g y: The species is named after the mountain Schah Kuh north of Bastam close to the type area.

Dynamics of Atmospheric Regression Patterns: Regional Mountain Torque Events
No full textThe regression of atmospheric fields against a parameter P with lag τ is a standard procedure in meteorology. Here, the torque exerted by a mountain massif is chosen as a parameter in order to study the interaction of weather systems with orography on a statistical basis. It is normally found that the amplitudes of the correlation patterns increase with τ → 0 and decrease for increasing positive lag. It is proposed to explain this ubiquitous feature in the orographic case on the basis of the covariance equations that govern these regressions. Two examples are discussed. First, a version of the low-order Charney–DeVore model of β-plane flow over a mountain is considered where stochastic forcing stirs a Rossby wave mode. It is found that the general increase of covariance amplitudes for τ → 0 (if it occurs) is mainly due to the forcing, but triple covariances of mountain torque and vorticity advection are important as well. A new covariance energy equation is derived to demonstrate that the frictional decay for τ > 0 is supported by these triple covariances while the stationary wave acts as a source for τ > 0. A dynamical interpretation of the triple terms is given. Next, data from the ECMWF 40-yr Re-Analysis (ERA-40) set are used to study mountain torque events in winter near Greenland, where the covariances of all standard variables with the torque P exhibit a rapid quasi-barotropic increase with τ → 0 near Greenland. This amplification process is investigated by looking at the barotropic vorticity equation adapted to this statistical problem. This equation captures the evolution of the regression patterns reasonably well in the range -2 ≤ τ ≤ 2 days. The triple covariances of torque and nonlinear vorticity advection play the key role in the amplification process. In particular, covariance enstrophy is generated and destroyed by these terms, a process without counterpart in the standard vorticity equation. Stochastic forcing is presumably unimportant. The interpretation of the triple terms is difficult in contrast to that of the other “linear” terms of the vorticity equation. The angular momentum in the Greenland domain decreases during events of positive torque

Paratypes: Oman, Dhofar prov.: 1♂ 13.x.2021, 80 km SSW Salalah 16.857 N 53.420 E, leg. M. Halada (CSE); 1♀ 15.x.2021, 75 km W Salalah 16.842 N 53.434 E, leg. M. Halada (CSE). Diagnosis. Ctenagenia wahisi sp. nov. agrees in general aspects with C. vespiformis. It is characterized by colour pattern. T1–6 are in greater part or completely yellow, and the mesosoma is black (Figs 3–4). In C. ozbeki and C. vespiformis T1 is black or red (Figs 1–2) (with a very small spot on some C. vespiformis males), and the mesosoma and abdomen are all yellow with some pale red in C. pagliano female. The male of C. pagliano is undescribed. Also, the setae of the head and propodeum are shorter and more sparse in C. wahisi sp. nov. (Fig. 6), compared to C. vespiformis. The foremetatarsus of the female has five spines in C. vespiformis, and four spines in the other species, including C. wahisi sp. nov. (Fig. 7). The ocelli of C. wahisi sp. nov. are smaller than in the remaining species (Fig. 6), and the propodeal surface is more finely sculptured than in C. vespiformis. The male of C. wahisi sp. nov. is also characterized by having a higher and more rounded keel of S8 (seen in lateral view, Fig. 8), compared to C. vespiformis (Fig. 9). T1 is predominantly yellow, and all black or at most with a small medial yellow spot in C.vespiformis. Description of female holotype. Body length 20.0 mm. Colour. Black, with the following parts dark yellow: T1 with large rectangular median spot, T2 except large dark lateral margin, T3–6 completely, with darker lateral margins. S3–6 yellowish brown (Fig. 3). Face, foreleg, metapostnotum and base of S2 with distinct red shimmer. Wing base black, wings yellowish, extreme apex of forewing dark. Wing venation in apical half of wing brown, in basal half yellow. Morphology. Labrum large, apicomedially with small impression. Clypeus clearly bulged medially, ACM nearly straight (Fig. 5). Ocelli and proportions of vertex see Fig. 3. Head below and prosternum with many short, black bristles. Antenna long and slender, AS 3 as long as foremetatarsus. Hind margin of mesopleuron along metapleuron and propodeum with furrow, „gridded“ by small stripes. Horizontal propodeal surface short, 1/3 as long as whole length of propodeum. Metapostnotum deeply recessed between metanotum and propodeum, medially as large as midocellar diameter. Propodeal declivity slightly concave. Propodeum with fine, velvet-like surface, laterally with few dark setae, somewhat shorter than medial diameter of AS 3. Forebasitarsus with four spines (Fig. 7). Legs asetose, except with few very short setae on upper side of femora. T6 with few and S6 with many long black bristles. Variation in female paratype. The female paratype is distinctly smaller than the holotype (16.0 mm), the face and antenna are more reddish (antenna partly orange reddish), and the horizontal part of the propodeum is longer than in holotype (ca. 50% of propodeal length). Description of male paratype. Body length 11.5 mm. Agrees in colour pattern and general aspects of morphology with the female (Fig. 4), with the following exceptions: face and antenna black with light reddish shimmer (as in female paratype), inner eye margin with some orange-yellow markings. Pronotum, mesopleuron and mesoscutum with reddish shimmer. T1 all yellow except base and lateral parts of T1. Metapostnotum narrow, medially half long as midocellar diameter. Horizontal part of propodeum 2/3 as long as whole propodeum. S8 with high keel, in lateral view with apex distinctly rounded (Fig. 8). Distribution. Dhofar region in southern Oman. Etymology. The species is named in honour to the late Raymond Wahis, an outstanding expert of Pompilidae and friend. He influenced the work of the author significantly.Published as part of Schmid-Egger, Christian, 2022, The genus Ctenagenia Saussure, 1892 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in Oman with description of a new species, pp. 93-96 in Zootaxa 5154 (1) on pages 94-96, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5154.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/663729
