No full textAcosmetides trigentis (Wang, Bian & Shi, 2016) gen. et comb. nov. Acosmetura trigentis Wang, Bian & Shi, 2016: 390. Remarks The original description of the species is exact and the figure is clear (Wang P. et al. 2016). Based on the male tenth abdominal tergite with a notch in the middle of the posterior margin and the middle lobe of the subgenital plate distinct, the species should belong to the genus Acosmetides gen. nov. Note The Chinese name of the species is 三Ẍffi异ffl尾ễ (San Tu Ni Yi Shi Wei Zhong). Distribution China (Hubei).Published as part of Chang, Yan-Lin, Wang, Tao & Shi, Fu-Ming, 2021, Three new genera and five new species of the tribe Meconematini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae) from Southwestern China, pp. 140-158 in European Journal of Taxonomy 751 (1) on page 148, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.751.1385, http://zenodo.org/record/492347

An autoethnography on Diaohua Chang / Wang Lei
Get PDFThis dissertation focuses on an autoethnographical account of Diaohua Chang in Kuala Lumpur with a case study at three nightclubs. Diaohua Chang is a live-singing performance of Chinese popular songs common to venues such as open-air food court and night clubs. The present research studied Diaohua Chang at nightclub setting. The selected nightclubs host Diaohua Chang, a live singing performance on a stage in a Karaoke Pub setting. There is a serious lack of studies on Diaohua Chang. Related past literature such as Tan (1984), Chang (2014) and Chin (2015) described the cultural elements of the sing-song performances of Getai and Hua Chang, however most are from an outsider perspective. In this study, the author explored the very much female dominated Diaohua Chang from an insider and male perspective in an auto-ethnographical tradition. This dissertation aims to provide a holistic view and discussion on Diaohua Chang and its social and gender issues with a self-reflexive account of the author’s participant observation at the field

However, after the species <i>Neocyrtopsides bispina</i> gen. et sp. nov. was discovered, it should be placed in the new genus because they differ from the genus <i>Neocyrtopsis</i> in the male epiproct, the tenth abdominal tergite, the genitalia and the subgenital plate morphology.

Measuring and analyzing German and Spanish customer satisfaction of using the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud service
Get PDFThis paper presents the customer satisfaction analysis for measuring popularity in the Mobile Cloud, which is an emerging area in the Cloud and Big Data Computing. Organizational Sustainability Modeling (OSM) is the proposed method used in this research. The twelve-month of German and Spanish consumer data are used for the analysis to investigate the return and risk status associated with the ratings of customer satisfaction in the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud services. Results show that there is a decline in the satisfaction ratings in Germany and Spain due to economic downturn and competitions in the market, which support our hypothesis. Key outputs have been explained and they confirm that all analysis and interpretations fulfill the criteria for OSM. The use of statistical and visualization method proposed by OSM can expose unexploited data and allows the stakeholders to understand the status of return and risk of their Cloud strategies easier than the use of other data analysis
