A Relational Theory of Authorship
No full textOver the years we have heard the debate as to whether authorship emanates solely from the individual or from the cultural context in which they inhabit. Writers such as Professors Woodmansee, Jaszi and Cohen have asserted a cultural theory of authorship. On one hand, there is the liberal philosophy of autonomous creativity evidenced in the notion of a "romantic author" (after the period known as romanticism). On the other hand we have more of a communitarian notion – that the author acts in a cultural context and authorship to some extent must be linked back to the social existence within which the author is situated.\ud
\ud
This article argues that for too long we have privileged the notion of the romantic author so much so that it is hard to argue for any other approach to copyright than one that focuses primarily on the author and their assignees such as publishers or associated commercialising agents such as recording companies. Furthermore it suggests that this approach fits awkwardly with the burgeoning networked society fuelled by the Internet to the point where it threatens innovation and the potential for productivity. To this end the article argues that we should more explicitly acknowledge the contribution of culture to authorship and more so the role of each and every individual in assisting and nurturing that authorship, as well as the contribution of users to creativity through consumptive, productive and transformative use of copyright works
Zagrammosoma fisheri Perry & Heraty 2021, n. sp.
No full textZagrammosoma fisheri Perry n. sp. (Fig. 15) Diagnosis. Zagrammosoma fisheri is identified by the wide dark band found dorsally on the mesosoma and the dark brown or black gaster (Fig. 15C, D); no other species of Zagrammosoma has this color combination. Male Z. centrolineatum may be identified as Z. fisheri due to similarities in mesosoma color patterns (Fig. 15E vs Fig. 10E), but the gaster is more yellow in Z. centrolineatum (Fig. 10E), and the fore wing pattern in Z. centrolineatum is distinct and dissimilar to any other species of Zagrammosoma (Fig. 10C). The wide dorsal band on the mesoscutum, in both males and females, is also thinner in Z. fisheri (Fig. 15D, E) than it is in Z. centrolineatum (Fig. 10D, E). Description. Female - body length = 1.23–1.45mm. Metallic luster on body absent. Scape with dark stripe present dorsally. Lower face with median stripe absent, or with 2 submedian stripes present. Vertex with 2 stripes above compound eye. Gena posteriorly with a wide, dark band. Occiput with two dark, vertical stripes. Pronotum with median stripe complete; laterally with 2 black stripes. Prepectus yellow with dark stripe along dorsal margin. Mesoscutum with median stripe complete. Mesoscutellum with one or three dark lines. Propodeum all dark. Fore wing: basal band absent; cubital band present; parastigmal and stigmal bands present, with perpendicular extension greater than that of the stigmal vein; postmarginal band present, with perpendicular extension greater than that of the stigmal vein, but less than 75% of fore wing width; apical band absent; connections from basal to parastigmal bands, from parastigmal to stigmal bands, and from stigmal to postmarginal bands absent. Hind wing hyaline. Procoxa, mesocoxa, and metacoxa uniformly dark. Profemur uniformly yellow. Mesofemur and metafemur with banding encircling femur. Gaster dark. Upper ocular sulcus present but very faint. Scattered short setae on vertex present. Pedicel longer than wide. Funiculars symmetrical: first subequal (w:l = 1.0); second wider than long (w:l = 1.5). Pronotum, in dorsal view, bell-shaped, wider than long (w:l = 1.5–1.71); 3 pairs of setae along posterior margin. Reticulate mesoscutum; small, scattered setae present; intermediary setae absent. Mesoscutellum wider than long (w:l = 1.06–1.24); submedian grooves absent. Hind tibial spurs distinctly shorter than basitarsus. Hind basitarsus shorter than 2nd tarsomere (bst:2nd = 0.75). Fore wing l:w = 2.18–2.34. Submarginal vein with 5 setae dorsally. Basal fold setose. Cubital fold setose. Admarginal setae present. Uncus originating on stigma by more than own length from stigmal apex. Male - as female except: body length: 1.18mm. First funicular wider than long (w:l = 0.8); second funicular subequal (w:l = 1.0). Remarks. This species is rare, described using only three specimens and appears to be found only in Southern California. The female gaster is shiny and may appear metallic under certain microscopes (Fig. 15D), however, there is no metallic luster present as there is in Z. metallicum (Fig. 32D). Hosts. Unknown. Distribution. Nearctic: USA (CA) (Fig. 22). Etymology. Named in honor of Dr. Brian L. Fisher. Type material. Holotype: USA: California: San Bernardino Co., Arrowhead Lake Rd., 903m, 34°23’4”N, 117°15’21”W, 18.viii.1983, H. Andersen, Sweep [1♀, UCRC: UCRCENT498888], deposited at UCRC.

AgroClimate Crop Season Planning Tool: Reducing the Risk of Extreme Weather Events during Key Stages of Crop Development
No full textThis 5-page publication details a new tool available to growers and Extension professionals to manage risks related to climate during seasonal planning stages. The Crop Season Planning tool is a climate-based tool that enables growers to plan planting strategies that will minimize risk to climate extremes based on historical climate data at their location. Written by Caroline G. Staub, Daniel Perondi, Diego Noleto Luz Pequeno, Patrick Troy, Michael J. Mulvaney, Calvin Perry, Brian Hayes, Willingthon Pavan, and Clyde W. Fraisse, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, March 2018.

A Content Analysis of the Young Adult Library Services Association's Michael L. Printz Award Winners and the Eva H. Perry Regional Public Library's Mock Printz Book Club Winners: What is the Difference Between the Books Young Adults Choose and the Books Adults Choose For Young Adults?
No full textThis study describes a latent content analysis of eleven young adult novels to answer the question, what are the differences between the books young adults select for themselves as examples of quality literature and the books adults select for them. In examining this question the author analyzed the seven winning books selected by YALSA's Printz Award Selection Committee and compared them to the six books selected by the Eva Perry Mock Printz Book Club at the Eva Perry Regional Public Library in Apex, NC. The findings suggest that YALSA's Printz Selection committee selects novels with a semi-political agenda in mind and with the intention of encouraging advances in the field of young adult publishing. The Eva Perry Mock Printz Book Club selects novels that meet particular adolescent developmental needs, that share a common theme, (the protagonist's desire to be mothered) and a common grade level readability score, (the 6th grade)
