Material examined. – 1 male, 21.0 × 13.5 mm (NMCR-6609), Kasili, Santa Cruz, Marinduque, coll. J. Cabrera, R. Garcia & R. Velarde, 21 Aug.1979. Remarks. – This little-known species has only been recorded from Japan (type locality) and the Philippines. The specimen reported here is the same one recorded by Takeda & Manuel (2000) in their report on some rare Philippine crabs.Published as part of Mendoza, Jose Christopher E. & Ng, Peter K. L., 2010, The Euxanthine Crabs (Crustacea: Brachyura: Xanthidae) Of The Philippines, pp. 57-74 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 58 (1) on page 65, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.534242
Systematic review of the impact of emissions from aviation on current and future climate
No full textAviation emissions have an impact on the global climate, and this is consequently an active area of research worldwide. By adapting replicable and transparent systematic review methods from the field of evidence-based medicine, we aim to synthesise available data on the effects of aviation emissions on climate. From these data, we aim to calculate lower and upper bounds for estimates of the effect of aviation on climate in an objective manner.For the systematic review an appropriate protocol was developed and applied by two independent reviewers, to identify research that met the inclusion criteria. These included all aviation types, original research studies, climate models with aviation as a specific component, with outcomes for emissions, radiative forcing, global warming potential and/or surface temperature changes. These studies were prioritised and data extracted using a standard process. The 35 studies reviewed here reported radiative forcing, global warming potential and/or temperature changes as outcomes, allowing direct comparisons to be made.Tabulated results and a narrative commentary were provided for overall effects on climate, and the individual effects of carbon dioxide, water, contrails, cirrus clouds, ozone, nitrogen oxides, methane, soot and sulphur oxides. Lower and upper bounds for these effects, and their relative contributions compared to overall radiative forcing and surface temperature changes, have been described.This review shows that the most recent estimates for the contribution of aviation to global climate are highly dependent on the level of scientific understanding and modelling, and predicted scenarios for social and economic growth. Estimates for the future contribution of aviation to global radiative forcing in 2015 range from 5.31% to 8.04%. For 2050 the estimates have a wider spread, from 2.12% to 17.33%, the latter being for the most extreme technology and growth scenario. These global estimates should be considered within the context of uncertainties in accounting for the direct and indirect effects of different contributions. Variations between lower and upper bounds for estimates of radiative forcing are relatively low for carbon dioxide, around 131% to 800% for cirrus clouds effects, and 1044% for soot. Advances in climate research, particularly in the area of contrail and cloud effects, has led to some revision of the 1999 IPCC estimates1, and demonstrates that the research community is actively working to further understand the underlying science.The approaches assumptions, limitations and future work were discussed in detail. We have demonstrated how the systematic review methodology can be applied to climate science, in a replicable and transparent manner

Hashimoto (1997, in Desbruyeres & Segonzac, 1997: 199) described the ecology of the species as ‘crawling around bacterial mats close to hydrothermal vents’ with vent temperatures reaching 269 °C. Hashimoto <i>et al.</i> (1995) also mentioned two other unidentified species of <i>Paralomis</i> living at the Minami-Ensei vent fields (Hashimoto <i>et al.</i>, 1995; Chevaldonné & Olu, 1996). To date the species is known only from that site and from the specimens noted above.

Takeda Rintaro and Orientalism : Focusing on the Representation of the ideology of Sameness in Jawa Sarasa
No full textIn 1942, proletarian writer, Takeda Rintarō, was sent from Japan to the Dutch East-Indies (Indonesia) as part of the Sendenbu (propaganda squad), where he led the literature section in the Keimin Bunka Shidōshō (cultural center) in Jakarta. Jawa sarasa documents Takeda Rintaro's activities and cultural experiences in Java, Indonesia, after he returned to Japan in 1944. Most Japanese literature and cultural writings about Nanyō or Nanpō (“South Islands” - South Asia and the Pacific, including Indonesia) from this era reference the concept of Imperialism in Asia. In the pre-war period, stereotypes such as dojin (local primitive) and tōmin (islander) defined South Island people as being lesser than or “other” than the Japanese people. Japanese literary depictions of tropical Eden's and exotic “uncivilized people” reflect similar perceptions and writings by Western authors towards Asia in the 19th century.
This paper explores Takeda Rintarō's perspectives of “otherness” in prewar discourses about Indonesia. Through the influence of “The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” propaganda concept, the ideology of “sameness” was becoming a hegemonic cultural idea in Takeda's writings about Indonesia. Conversely, however, Takeda's depiction of the double-occupation of Java, with the political rule of Holland and economic domination of daily life by Chinese immigrants, implied criticism of Japan's administrative policies regarding economic exploitation in Java. Takeda's criticisms of Japanese policy are bedded in his emotion for the nature, culture and people of Indonesia
