Episode 32: Dr. Mwita Chacha (featuring Dr. Jonathan Powell) and His Keynote Presentation at the 5th Annual Dr. John T. Washington Lecture Series
No full textThe Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Dr. Mwita Chacha, an Assistant Professor in International Relations at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. Dr. Chacha was the keynote speaker at this year’s annual Dr. John T. Washington Lecture Series hosted by the UCF Department of History’s Africana Studies Program. He discussed recent trends in regional cooperation in Africa by identifying the uniqueness of these trends and placing them in a historical context. Dr. Jonathan Powell, an Associate Professor in the School of Politics, Security, and International Relations at the University of Central Florida and a longtime colleague of Dr. Chacha, joined Sebastian and Dr. Chacha in this podcast conversation as both Dr. Chacha and Dr. Powell have worked together on numerous projects. Together, they provided a dynamic podcast that broadly covered research examining the politics of regional integration and the consequences of political and economic interdependence on domestic security and conflict.
NOTE: At 56:29, Sebastian said “60 or so,” not to be confused with “6 or so,” as it appears to be.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/knightshistorycast/1031/thumbnail.jp

Increased interleukin-4, interleukin-5, and interferon-gamma in airway CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in atopic asthma
No full textIncreased Th2 cytokine production in asthma is widely accepted, but excess production by asthmatic human airway CD4+ T cells has not been demonstrated, nor has a relationship with disease severity. The importance of airway CD8+ T cell type 1 and type 2 cytokine production in asthma is unknown. We investigated frequencies of IFN-{gamma}, interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-5 producing CD4+ and CD8+ blood and sputum T cells from normal subjects and subjects with asthma and compared between cell subsets, subject groups, and body compartments with and without in vitro stimulation and investigated relationships between cytokine production and asthma severity. Production of IL-4, IL-5, and IFN-{gamma} by unstimulated sputum CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was increased in subjects with asthma and related to disease severity, more for CD8+ than for CD4+ T cells. Frequencies of sputum CD8+ T cells producing type 1 and type 2 cytokines were similar to those of CD4+ T cells. In vitro stimulation polarized peripheral blood cytokine production toward IFN-{gamma} production, significantly more in subjects with asthma than in normal subjects. These data demonstrate increased type 1 and 2 cytokine production in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in sputum and relate production to disease severity. Findings in blood did not reflect those in airways
Cambalida kambakamensis Sankaran & Caleb & Sebastian 2020, comb. nov.
No full textCambalida kambakamensis (Gravely, 1931) comb. nov. Figs 12–13 Sphingius kambakamensis Gravely, 1931: 271, fig. 19D; Majumder & Tikader, 1991: 154, figs 326–329. Type material. Syntype Ƌ from INDIA: Andhra Pradesh: about 50 miles north-west of Chennai: Kambakam Hills (13°34’03.5’’N, 79°50’29.1’’E), 609–702 m (2000–2500 ft) a.s.l., leg. F.H. Gravely, 28–31 August 1922, deposited in NZC-ZSI (no register number), examined (Fig. 12F). Justification of the transfer. Detailed examination of the syntype of S. kambakamensis Gravely, 1931 revealed that the pedipalp of this species is similar to that of the corinnid genus Cambalida Simon, 1909, as illustrated for C. deorsa Murthappa, Prajapati, Sankaran & Sebastian, 2016 and C. tuma Murthappa, Prajapati, Sankaran & Sebastian, 2016 (compare Figs 12 C–E, 13A–C with Murthappa et al. 2016: figs 2A–C, 3A–C). Based on these observations, we propose to transfer S. kambakamensis to Cambalida. Diagnosis. This species seems very close to C. deorsa, but can be separated from the latter by its embolic tip, which is slightly curved, while in C. deorsa it is straight (compare Fig. 13 B–C with Murthappa et al. 2016: figs 2C, 3C). Remarks. The ZSI collection has one glass bottle for this species labelled as “ Type ” (5753/H2) containing a male specimen in fairly good condition, with broken legs. Both of its pedipalps are remained detached, but only the left one is found inside the bottle.Published as part of Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

Ovia quinquedens Sankaran & Caleb & Sebastian 2021, comb. nov.
No full textOvia quinquedens (Dhali, Roy, Sen, Saha & Raychaudhuri, 2012) comb. nov. Fig. 11 Arctosa quinquedens Dhali et al., 2012: 1200, figs 1–6, 18. Dhali et al. 2017: 78, plate XXIII, figs 394–398. Type material. Female holotype from INDIA: West Bengal: Jalpaiguri: Buxa Tiger Reserve: Rajabhatkhawa (26°36’57.59’’N, 89°31’56.62’’E), 81 m alt.; D.C. Dhali leg.; 9 April 2009; repository EZC (0025-12), examined from photographs. Diagnosis. Females of O. quinquedens closely resemble the females of Ovia procurva (Yu & Song, 1988) in the general appearance of the epigynum, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by large epigynal atria, which are small in O. procurva (compare Fig. 11 A–B to Sankaran et al. 2017: fig. 5J). Description. For female, see Dhali et al. (2012). Male. Unknown. Justification of the transfer. Dhali et al. (2012) described this species based on a single female specimen collected in West Bengal. The original genitalia illustrations (Dhali et al. 2012: figs 5–6) of this species are highly schematic and do not facilitate identification. The paired anterior hoods of the epigynum (Fig. 11B) clearly indicate that this species is misplaced in Arctosa, as species of this genus lack anterior epigynal hoods and have well-developed epigynal median septum (Dondale & Redner 1983; Yoo et al. 2007). Instead, the general female habitus and colour pattern, the female epigynum with paired wide, longitudinal atria separated by a narrow median septum and the paired conspicuous anterior epigynal hoods (Dhali et al. 2012: fig. 18; Fig. 11 A-B) indicate that it may be a member of Ovia Sankaran, Malamel & Sebastian, 2017. However, it will be confirmed only after examining the vulva of this species, which could not be examined for this study.Published as part of Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

Cryptodrassus platnicki Sankaran & Caleb & Sebastian 2020, comb. nov.
No full textCryptodrassus platnicki (Gajbe, 1987) comb. nov. Drassyllus platnicki Gajbe, 1987: 289, figs 1–5. Type material Holotype (not examined) INDIA • ♀; Maharashtra, Nagpur, Kachari Sawanga village / Kachari (sa) village; 21°11′41.53″ N, 78°39′12.05″ E; 448 m a.s.l.; 5 Mar. 1984; U.A. Gajbe leg.; NZC-ZSI, Kolkata 5144/18. Justification of the transfer Even though we did not examine the type of D. platnicki, which may either be lost or misplaced somewhere in the collection, this species agrees with Cryptodrassus spp. in generic features such as obliquely placed, large, contiguous PMEs, cheliceral promargin with three and retromargin with single tooth and epigyne with anteriorly placed atrium. All these indicate that this species in fact belongs to Cryptodrassus. The structure of vulvae of this species looks closely similar to the vulvae of C. khajuriai comb. nov., suggesting a possible synonymy of the former species with the latter one (compare Figs 1 C–D, 2C–D with Gajbe 1987: figs 3–4); however, confirmation requires the examination of the type or topotype materials of C. platnicki comb. nov. Remarks We were unable to find the type of D. platnicki in the arachnid collection of ZSI, even though the author claimed that the type was deposited here (Gajbe 1987).Published as part of Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

It worked yesterday: On (re-)performing electroacoustic music
No full textPlaying electroacoustic music raises a number of challenges for performers such as dealing with obsolete or malfunctioning technology and incomplete technical documentation. Together with the generally higher workload due to the additional technical requirements the time available for musical work is significantly reduced. Many of the issues have their roots in composers, publishers, performers and promoters considering how their work process could easily be adapted to the additional demands of electroacoustic music. It was also found that the employment of music technologists cannot sufficiently make up for incomplete documentation and inadequate archiving of compositions. Using case studies made up of single compositions and whole concerts, solutions are proposed, which the several parties could effortlessly employ to considerably ease the process of preparing and performing electroacoustic music. Finally hands-on methods on how performers can deal with the situation as it is today are proposed. It is being hoped that by implementing these strategies not only better performances of electroacoustic music will be facilitated but also that electroacoustic works in general will enjoy a longer life-span in the future, thus enabling the sustenance of a vivid electroacoustic repertoire
