    <i>Hoya rotundiflora</i> Rodda & Simonsson, <i>sp. nov.</i> (Figs. 1–3) <p> <i>Habitum ad Hoyam lyi et Hoyam thomsonii accedit sed corolla revoluta, corona lobis erectiores et folia margine revolutis recedit.</i></p> <p> <b>Type</b>:— Ex hort. Sweden, Stockholm, 1 September 2009, <i>Torill Nyhuus 2009.1</i> (holotype K).</p> <p>Pendulous to weakly climbing vine with white latex in all parts. Stems pendulous to weakly twining, cylindrical, ca. 3 mm in diameter, pilose; older stems lignified, glabrous; internodes 2–10 cm long with inactive adventitious roots 1–2 mm long located 0–2 mm below each petiole. Leaves (Fig. 2) opposite, petiolate; petiole 3–10 × 1–2 mm, pilose; lamina oblong-pandurate, 3–5 × 1.5–2.5 cm, widest point 1/8–1/5 length from the apex, fleshy coriaceous, adaxial surface dark green, abaxial surface light green with a distinctive darker margin 2–3 mm wide around the edge (Fig. 2e), abaxial surface glabrous, adaxial surface hirsute, apex round, base round or obtuse, margin slightly revolute on the lateral sides and apex only, ciliate; midrib clearly visible on both abaxial and adaxial surface, secondary veins 4 to 6 each side, less conspicuous, branching from the midrib at a wide acute or an almost right angle. Inflorescences (Fig. 3) one per node, interpetiolar, positively geotropic, umbelliform, convex, with up to 20 flowers, persistent; peduncle 5–35(–70) × 1.5–3.0 mm, pilose, pedicels filiform, 17–20 × 1.0– 1.5 mm, glabrous. Flower buds globular, white. Flowers weakly sweetly scented (lasting about one week in cultivation), from the base of the corolla lobes to the inner apex of the corona 7–10 mm long, corolla 9–12 mm in diam. Sepals (Fig. 1d) ovate, ca. 2.5 × 1.0 mm, apex round, alternating with single glands, glabrous, a few long hairs at the junction between the sepals and the pedicel. Corolla revolute, white; lobes lanceolate, 9–11 mm long, acute at apex; free portion of lobes 7–8 × 4.5–5.5 mm, distance between each sinus 3.5–4.0 mm, abaxially glabrous, hirsute adaxially, hairs up to 0.3 mm long, lobe apex (ca. 1 mm long) glabrous, margins ciliate. Corona staminal (Fig. 1a,b,c) fleshy, dull white to light yellow, laterally spreading, ca. 3 mm high, 6.5–7.5 mm in diameter; corona lobes held at 30–40 degrees to the filament tube, outer process rounded to obtuse, flattened, only partially folded beneath (Fig. 1c), inner process acute, held at about the same height as the anther appendages. Distance between center and outer corona process 3.3–3.6 mm; distance from center to corona sinus 1.5–1.8 mm; beneath corona, distance between filament tube and anther skirt (beneath guide rail) 0.6–0.8 mm. Pollinaria erect, ca. 830 × 430 µm; pollinia elongated, compressed, 660 × 220 µm, with a lateral pellucid margin; retinaculum 260 × 160 µm; translator 70–100 µm long. Ovary lanceolate, about 1.7 mm long, light green. Fruits and seeds not seen. All measurements from fresh type material.</p> <p> <b>Phenology:</b> — <i>Hoya rotundiflora</i> is commonly seen flowering in cultivation during the summer months, which is consistent with the flowering periods of plants from a monsoonal area such as south Myanmar. A similar flowering season has been observed for <i>Hoya pandurata</i> Tsiang (1939: 125) and <i>H. chinghungensis</i> (Tsiang & P.T.Li) Gilbert <i>et al.</i> (1995: 9) both originating from this geographical area (personal observations).</p> <p> <b>Habitat and distribution:</b> —Little is known about the original habitat of this species. It has been observed to be difficult to grow and flower in constantly warm areas such as Bangkok (S. Somadee, personal communication) and therefore it is likely to inhabit higher elevated areas where winter temperatures are lower and where there is a greater disparity between day and night temperatures.</p> <p>The type plant can be traced back to a market in Sangklaburi in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand, where it was first found in 2005. The plant was collected near the border in neighboring Myanmar but the exact locality has been kept secret by the seller.</p> <p> <b>IUCN Red List category:</b> —Population size and distribution range of <i>Hoya rotundiflora</i> cannot be estimated, as it is so far known from only a single collection. Due to the high horticultural interest in <i>Hoya</i> it is surprising that no further collections belonging to this taxon have been made since its first introduction into cultivation in 2007. This may suggest that the species may have a very restricted distribution range and small population size containing a limited number of mature individuals or its habitat may be inaccessible, for example being on steep karst formations. Further, <i>Hoya</i> populations are often under pressure because of frequent collection to supply the horticultural trade and therefore <i>H. rotundiflora</i> is hereby suggested as vulnerable according to IUCN Red List criteria (IUCN 2001).</p> <p> <b>Additional specimen examined:</b> — <i>Ex Hort.</i>, 15 June 2010, <i>Rodda Hort 2010/1</i> (L, SING, TO).</p>Published as part of <i>Rodda, Michele & Simonsson, Nadhanielle, 2011, Hoya rotundiflora (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae), a new horticulturally important species from Myanmar, pp. 37-43 in Phytotaxa 27</i> on pages 37-41, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.27.1.4, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4894182">http://zenodo.org/record/4894182</a&gt

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Body and soul : studies on health and psychosomatic complaints among adolescents in Sweden

    No full text
    Objective: The aim of this thesis is to describe the health of the adolescents with special emphasis on psychosomatic complaints.Method: Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to get a insight into the adolescents health. The results presented in papers I-IV are based on the records from the five cross-sectional school surveys that so far have been conducted under the name of "Survey of Adolescent Life in Vestmanland", SALVe surveys. For papers I-III, data were collected from the second cross-sectional study performed in1998. The data of paper IV, came from all five surveys conducted in 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2006. In paper V, focus group discussions were used to obtain the adolescents views on the cause of psychosomatic complaints.Main findings: The self-reported general health of the adolescents as a group was good. However, when the group was divided; first, by gender and thereafter into weight groups, there were relatively large differences in their perceived health. The large increase in overweight and obesity that was reported by other authors was also found in our study. The obese boys experienced many more symptoms off ill health including those that are related to psychosomatic complaints than the other boys. Sense of coherence had a big influence on the development of psychosomatic complaints. Individuals with a high sense of coherence had fewer psychosomatic symptoms. Boys scored higher than girls in sense of coherence scale, as has been found in other studies. Girls had higher prevalence of psychosomatic complaints than the boys. The increase in reported psychosomatic complaints over a twelve-year period among girls were twofold over the period studied. The boys did not have the same development, there was a slight increase over time but, on the whole, the prevalence remained more or less constant. In the focus group discussions there were big differences in the opinion between the boys and the girls on the causes of psychosomatic complaints. With the boys discussing physical factors while the girls emotional factors.Conclusions: The development of health problems over time between the genders is very different. The girls as a group seems to be suffering from many more health related problems than the boys. This makes it important to consider this in tailoring for any kind of interventions.List of scientific papersI. Berg IM, Simonsson B, Brantefor B, Ringqvist I (2001).

    Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology

    No full text
    To unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
