Comments. Baker (1898) described Neocoelidia modesta from three females, type locality Chapada, Brazil, collected in June and August. The syntypes were deposited originally in the Herbert H. Smith collection, and now are preserved in the United States National Museum (USNM), Washington, D.C., USA. To avoid future confusion over the identity of this species and the type series, a lectotype is selected. The remaining specimens from the type series are paralectotypes. Coelana modesta can be separated from other species of the genus by the characters of male genitalia, especially the ones given in the diagnosis.Published as part of Marques-Costa, Ana Paula & Cavichioli, Rodney Ramiro, 2007, Revision of Coelana Kramer, 1964 (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Neocoelidiinae) and taxonomic notes on the genus, pp. 33-42 in Zootaxa 1547 on pages 38-41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17802

No full textOxysarcodexia modesta Lopes, 1946 (Figs 185–187) Oxysarcodexia modesta Lopes, 1946b: 129; Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Guanabara, Gávea. Holotype male (not examined) and 15 male paratypes in MNRJ (one examined). Diagnosis. Male. Length 6.0–7.0 mm. Postocular plate with pale golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles well developed. Thorax and abdomen with pale golden pollinosity, T5 partly with golden pollinosity. Two well-differentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles absent. Legs brownish. T3 with 1 pair of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with bristles on distal half of arms. Cercus straight in lateral view, with pointed obliquely cut apex. Cercus with bristles ventrally over full length. Cerci with distal third narrower than middle part in posterior view; diverging. Pregonite with expanded base and sudden narrowing at apex; unicolorous. Postgonite with expanded base, gradually narrowing to apex; unicolorous. Distiphallus with ventroapical concavity with serrated margin, rounded apex, sinuous dorsal outline and ventroapical projections. Vesica symmetrical, with rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes well developed, with filaments, tapering, partially membranous, with spines on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Remarks. See under O. bakeri. The female of O. modesta has T7 partially divided into two plates (Tibana & Mello 1985). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Brazil (Amapá *, Bahia *, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Pará, Pernambuco, São Paulo), Peru. Biology. Under laboratory conditions, O. modesta was reared on agar and powdered milk, developing from first instar to adult in 14–17 days (Lopes 1973b). Adults have been collected from human feces, pig and mouse carcasses, chicken viscera and liver, rotten cow liver, cow lung, fish, sardine, rotten banana mixed with brown sugar, and rotten S. comosa (Lopes 1973b; Linhares 1981; Dias et al. 1984c; Mendes & Linhares 1993; Oliveira et al. 2002; Barbosa et al. 2009; Oliveira & Vasconcelos 2010; Rosa et al. 2011; Vasconcelos et al. 2013; Barbosa et al. 2015; Sousa et al. 2015, 2016; Barbosa et al. 2017). Linhares (1981) observed no differences in attractiveness of human feces, chicken viscera and mouse carcasses for O. modesta. This author also observed a lower occurrence in urban areas as opposed to rural and forest areas, indicating a low degree of anthropophily. Sunlight, as opposed to shaded areas, is also mentioned by Linhares (1981) as a preference of this species. This species was collected from chicken liver and was classified as a necrophagous/omnivorous species by Oliveira & Vasconcelos (2010). Adults have also been collected in a zoological garden in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil (Oliveira et al. 2002), in the Brazilian Cerrado (Rosa et al. 2011; Sousa et al. 2016), in a coastline region (Barbosa et al. 2015, 2017), and in urban, rural and forest environments (Linhares 1981; Dias et al. 1984c; Mendes & Linhares 1993; Vasconcelos & Araujo 2012; Vasconcelos et al. 2013). In the Brazilian state of Maranhão, O. modesta was classified as accidental and rare (Sousa et al. 2015). It is also considered an early visitor in forensic entomology (Vasconcelos et al. 2013), and showed a strong preference for preserved beaches according to Barbosa et al. (2017).

Liaudies kosmetika, arba Grožio paieškos Merkinės krašto moterų gyvenimuose (etnologinio tyrimo bandymas)
No full textThis publication presents the first attempt at conducting an ethnological research by the graduate student from Merkinė Gymnasium (Varėna district) Modesta Čaplikaitė. In the course of 2018–2019, employing a questionnaire devised with the help of her teacher Rita Černiauskienė, the student recorded detailed accounts from ten women aged between 70 and 83 and living in Merkinė parish (southern Lithuania), regarding the actual means of cosmetics and hygiene and ways of nurturing their beauty that they had used in their youth. The informants answered questions regarding the kinds of cosmetics that they used, the plants that served for making natural means of treatment for face and hair, and the predominant attitude towards female health and beauty in Lithuania during 1930s and 1940s, etc. Various popular beliefs related to this area and fragments of women’s life stories were recorded as well. The author discussed all the collected data in relation to the research works from this field. The publication is based on the study by M. Čaplikaitė under the similar title, which won the first prize in ethnology at the competition for the young philologists of Lithuania in 2019.
Importancia de los elementos propios de la oralidad en «Genocidio» de Modesta Bor.
No full textElements of both oral and written musical culture coexist in the symphonic poem Genocidio, by Venezuelan composer Modesta Bor; this fact allows an approach based on the dichotomies power versus resistance associated to the interaction between orality and literacy which characterizes the crash between the media penetration and the sublimation of folklore exposed by the composer. This fact generates a series of cultural dialogues that emphasise colonialism for the first time in the history of music in this country. The discourse is based on a huge “pastiche” with a media moulded intentionality that sustains a nostalgic and struggling relationship between past and present. Bor approaches intertextuality in an explicit way, juxtaposing quotes in an open aesthetic confrontation with which she assumes a political identification against the consumer society and transculturization, exposing a microhistory different from the European canonical tradition. The author of this article considers Genocidio to be the first Venezuelan postmodern musical composition.En Genocidio, poema sinfónico orquestal de la compositora venezolana Modesta Bor, coexisten elementos propios de la cultura musical oral y de la escrita, lo cual permite abordar el tema de la utilización de las dicotomías poder versus resistencia asociadas a la interacción entre la oralidad y la escritura que caracteriza el desencuentro entre la penetración mediática y la sublimación del folklore expuesto por la compositora. Ello genera una serie de comentarios culturales que destacan un tema por primera vez en el país a través de la música: el colonialismo. Este discurso se basa en un gran “pastiche” con una intencionalidad moldeada por los medios de comunicación, que sostiene una relación nostálgica y combativa entre pasado y presente. Utiliza la intertextualidad explícita yuxtaponiendo citas en franca confrontación estética para asumir una identificación política contra la sociedad de consumo y la transculturización, exponiendo así una microhistoria diferente de la tradición canónica europea. Genocidio es, desde nuestro punto de vista, la primera obra musical venezolana que puede ser considerada postmoderna
"Una modesta Divina Commedia": Dante as anti-model in Cesare Pavese's La luna e i falo'
No full textIn a 1949 letter, Cesare Pavese describes with great zeal the genesis of a new work — one he compares, albeit with a certain amount of irony, to Dante’s Commedia: Io sono come un pazzo perché ho avuta una grande intuizione — quasi una mirabile visione (naturalmente di stalle, sudore, contadinotti, verderame e letame ecc.) su cui dovrei costruire una modesta Divina Commedia. Ci penso sopra, e tutti i giorni diminuisce la tensione — che alle visioni siano necessarie le Beatrici? Bah, si vedrà.This embryonic project would quickly become the novel La luna e i falò, completed in less than two months and published shortly before Pavese’s suicide in 1950. On the surface, there would seem little reason to take seriously the analogy drawn by the author between La luna and the Commedia, for the novel in question contains no explicit references to the medieval poet. I shall argue in this essay, however, that the presence of Dante in La luna is both more pervasive and more significant than has previously been suggested. While critics have noted in passing several narrative and structural parallels between the two texts, which I detail in Section II, no attempt has been made to consider their wider significance in our understanding of Pavese’s novel. What follows is a reading of La luna which shows that the Commedia functions not simply as a formal model for Pavese, but, more importantly, as an ideological anti-model, in dialogue with which the author articulates his deeply pessimistic understanding of the human condition.<br/
Abaixando expectativas: Uma proposta modesta para uma pesquisa das política de ensino baseadas nas práticas
No full textThis proposal addresses the assumptions underlying the “Science Wars” about the purpose of educational research. The author proposes a more modest “Lake Woebegon” approach to school reform that supports long-term professional education, a shift away from “Best Practices” to “Pretty Good Practices,” low fidelity implementation of interventions, and the importance of local context. Action research is presented as one possible qualitative approach for conducting “practice-based research.”Esta propuesta trata de los supuestos que subyacen a las "guerras científicas" para determinar el propósito de la investigación educativa. El autor propone un enfoque más modesto basado en el modelo del "Lago Woebegon" para reformas escolares apoyando la educación profesional a largo plazo, y alejándose del modelo de las "mejores prácticas" y acercándose a uno que de "practicas bastante buenas” , intervenciones de baja fidelidad, que den importancia al contexto local. La investigación-acción se presenta como un posible enfoque cualitativo para una investigación de las políticas de enseñanza basada en las practicas.Esta proposta aborda os pressupostos subjacentes às "guerras da ciência" para determinar a finalidade da pesquisa educacional. O autor propõe uma abordagem mais modesta com base no modelo de "Lago Woebegon" de reformas escolares para apoiar a formação profissional de longo prazo, e longe do modelo de "melhores práticas" e aproximando-se a um modelo das " práticas bastante boas" usando intervenções de “baixa fidelidade” dando importância para o contexto local.
