Geographical distribution. Brazil (Amazonas) (Fig. 118). Comments. This species is similar to S. annulipes Bezzi, S. bilobatus sp. nov., S. maculosum sp. nov., S. obeliscus, S. pyramidatus and S. vidali in the small size (2–3.5 mm), scutum high and pyramidal, dark brown color and slender legs with fore femur slightly dilated on basal half; and is also similar to S. annulipes, S. bilobatus sp. nov., S. maculosum sp. nov. and S. vidali in shape of epandrial lamella, phallus and apex of hypandrium. It differs from these species by the wing with pterostigma divided into two brown spots and vein R 2 + 3 with apex strongly curved upwards forming a right angle with C. In S. vidali and S. maculosum sp. nov., the pterostigma is also divided into two spots, but the spot at the end of the vein R 2 + 3 is large, diffuse, and reaches part of cell r 2 + 3 and R 2 + 3 is gradually curved upwards. The female terminalia contributes to the distinction between these species, especially in the shape of tergite and sternite 8 and sternite 10, which are short, almost square. Etymology. From the Latin, angulatus = angular, in reference to the apex of vein R 2 + 3 strongly curved upwards, forming a right angle with C.Published as part of Menezes, Isis Sá & Ale-Rocha, Rosaly, 2016, Revision of the Amazonian species of Syneches Walker (Diptera, Hybotidae, Hybotinae), pp. 401-442 in Zootaxa 4103 (5) on pages 406-408, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4103.5.1, http://zenodo.org/record/26778
I Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.

Liftings for noncomplete probability spaces

The AM Canum Venaticorum binary SDSS J173047.59+554518.5
No full textThe AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) binaries are a rare group of hydrogen-deficient, ultrashort period, mass-transferring white dwarf binaries and are possible progenitors of Type Ia supernovae. We present time-resolved spectroscopy of the recently discovered AM CVn binary SDSS J173047.59+554518.5. The average spectrum shows strong double-peaked helium emission lines, as well as a variety of metal lines, including neon; this is the second detection of neon in an AM CVn binary, after the much brighter system GP Com. We detect no calcium in the accretion disc, a puzzling feature that has been noted in many of the longer period AM CVn binaries. We measure an orbital period, from the radial velocities of the emission lines, of 35.2 ± 0.2 min, confirming the ultracompact binary nature of the system. The emission lines seen in SDSS J1730 are very narrow, although double-peaked, implying a low-inclination, face-on accretion disc; using the measured velocities of the line peaks, we estimate i ≤ 11°. This low inclination makes SDSS J1730 an excellent system for the identification of emission lines
Freedom of choice or force of circumstance? : Eastern European sex-workers in the Republic of Cyprus ; paper for the conference 'Alltag der Globalisierung. Perspektiven einer transnationalen Anthropologie', January 16-18, 2003, Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main
No full textThis paper focuses on Eastern European migrants who, since the beginning of the 1990s, are entering the Republic Cyprus as “artistes”. This is a visa permit status as well as an euphemism for short-term work permits in the local sex industry. In addition to exploring the migrational experiences of these women and their living and working conditions in the Republic of Cyprus, the paper reconstructs, empirically and analyt ically, the connection between immigration and the local sex industry. Here, several categories of social actors and institutions in Cyprus are actively involved. The rhetoric of government representatives, entrepreneurs and clients in the sex business on the one hand is contrasted with the discourse of local NGO representatives concerned with immigrants’ rights on the other hand. The paper comes to the conclusion that all of these discursive positions ultimately do not do justice to the complex process of decisionmaking that women undergo who migrate into the sex industry. Either, freedom of choice is emphasized – such as by entrepreneurs and the government – or the domination of women – as in the public statements of the NGO. In order to analyze the ambivalent tension between freedom of choice and submission to force by which the women’s decision is characterized, the author employs Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality, which describes forms of political regulation that use the individual’s freedom of action as an instrument to exercise power

«Wenn ihr mich fragt…»: Beteiligungsprozesse in der Sozialen Arbeit gestalten
No full textArmut oder sozialen Ausschluss gemeinsam mit den betroffenen Personen zu bekämpfen, sollte eigentlich eine Selbstverständlichkeit sein, ist es aber nicht. Deshalb hat die vom Bund finanzierte «Nationale Plattform gegen Armut» die Thematik der Partizipation als Schwerpunkt gewählt. Basierend auf einer Studie hat ein Team der BFH zusammen mit armutserfahrenen Personen und Fachpersonen im Auftrag der Nationalen Plattform gegen Armut den Praxisleitfaden «Wenn ihr mich fragt..» erarbeitet. Im Praxisleitfaden werden Grundlagen, Chancen und Herausforderungen gelingender Beteiligung aufgezeigt. Prof. Dr. Emanuela Chiapparini und Prof. Dr. Rahel Müller de Menezes der Berner Fachhochschule stellen am Alumini-Anlass den Leitfaden anhand von Praxisbeispielen vor und freuen sich darauf, mit Ihnen ins Gespräch zu kommen
An examination of author characteristics in national and regional criminology and criminal justice journals, 2008-2010: Are female scholars changing the nature of publishing in criminology and criminal justice?
No full textCriminology and criminal justice (CCJ) as an academic discipline has experienced an increase in the focus on various aspects of academic productivity in recent years. Much of the extant literature examining journal article authorship has focused on various measures of the publication productivity of specific authors but not on the characteristics of the authors themselves. The current study expands upon previous work by examining several author characteristics across different journal types and research methodologies, with a particular focus on how gender relates to these issues. The findings reveal several interesting differences with regard to gender, academic rank, and university affiliation. Among these findings is evidence that although males are more likely to author CCJ articles regardless of journal type, females are more likely to be lead authors in regional journal articles and more likely to publish with other female authors. Regional journals are also the publication outlet of choice for students and assistant professors in the beginning of their careers. The findings also provide evidence of important differences in author rank, academic affiliation, methodology, and publication outlet for articles authored by females.Journal ArticlePublishe
