Dendrocellus Schmidt-Goebel 1846
No full textDendrocellus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846 Type species: Dendrocellus discolor Schmidt-Goebel, 1846 (= Desera nepalensis Hope, 1831)= Desera Hope, 1831 (nec Dejean, 1825) Type species: Desera nepalensis Hope, 1831 Bousquet (2002) and Liang et al. (2004) have correctly reconstructed the complex nomenclatorial history of this genus, reaching the conclusion that its valid generic name is Dendrocellus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846, instead of Desera Dejean, 1825, as it was frequently considered previously. We only observe that back in 1949 Jeannel already wrote: “Les Dendrocellus Schm. -Goeb. (type: discolor Schm. -Goeb.,= nepalensis Hope) sont généralement classés à tort sous le nom de Desera. … Malgré leurs ongles tarsaux pectinés, ils sont très voisins des Drypta s. str. ” (Jeannel, 1949). So, it seems the french author had already reached the same conclusions. This genus, recently revised by Liang & Kavanaugh (2007), contains 22 species occuring in Africa, Asia and Australia. Systematically it is extremely close to Drypta, differing only in its tarsal claws pectinate instead of smooth. The genitalic characters of both sexes are the same, the external resemblance among members of the two genera is sometimes puzzling and a few species of Dendrocellus show very slight tarsal pectination, sometimes leaving a doubt on their generic pertinence; only a comparative study of all the characters of the species belonging to the two genera will allow to decide whether they can be really maintained as separate genera. Already in 1968 Darlington observed: “ Desera differs from Drypta only in having pectinate tarsal claws. A modern revision of the species is needed to show whether both genera are really monophyletic and distinct” (Darlington, 1968, p. 218). The unique combination of characters distinguishing this genus from the others of the tribe is: pronotal bead absent or very rudimental (fig. 10); punctuation on head and pronotum dense, regular, the punctures usually well distinct from each other; pronotum very feebly constricted towards base; elytral microsculpture well developed; elytral pubescence dense, usually arranged in two-three more or less regular rows; scutellar pore constantly single; intervals flat or slightly convex; tarsal claws slender, more or less pectinate on inner side; two to five evident setae on outer side of stylomere (fig. 8).Published as part of Sciaky, Riccardo & Anichtchenko, Alexander, 2020, Taxonomic notes on the tribe Dryptini Bonelli, 1810 with description of a new genus and species from China (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Dryptini), pp. 522-530 in Zootaxa 4731 (4) on page 524, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4731.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/366198
William Goebel: The Politics of Wrath
No full textThe turbulent career of William Goebel (1856–1900), which culminated in assassination, marked an end-of-the-century struggle for political control of Kentucky. Although populism had become a strong force in the nation, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and ex-Confederates still dominated the state and its Democratic party. Touting reforms and attaching the railroad monopoly, Goebel challenged this old order.
A Yankee in a state that fancied itself southern, Goebel had to depend on a strong organization to win votes. As “The Kenton King” he created a new style of politics. To some he was a progressive reformer; to others, a tyrannical machine boss. His drive for power and his enemies’ fierce opposition aroused violent political factionalism. Goebel’s fateful duel with a rival, his partisan election law, and his ruthless convention tactics led to the bitterly contested gubernatorial election of 1899 that resulted in his murder. Although the full truth about the murder was never revealed in nearly a decade of trials and the advent of progressive politics was long delayed in Kentucky, Goebel’s death did relieve the state’s political turmoil and induce some legal reforms. Using new sources and fresh perspectives, James C. Klotter portrays Goebel’s tumultuous era and discovers the real man within the obscurity of his conflicting images.
James C. Klotter is professor of history at Georgetown College and the state historian of Kentucky. He is the author or coauthor of several books, including A New History of Kentucky.

Apoptotic DNA fragmentation is not related to the phosphorylation state of histone H1
No full textChanges in chromatin structure, histone phosphorylation and cleavage of DNA into nucleosome-size fragments are characteristic features of apoptosis. Since H1 histones bind to the site of DNA cleavage between nucleosomal cores, the question arises as to whether the state of H1 phosphorylation influences the rate of internucleosomal cleavage. Here, we tested the relation between DNA fragmentation and H1 phosphorylation both in cultured cells and in vitro. In Jurkat cells, hyperosmotic mannitol concentration resulted in apoptosis, including nucleosomal fragmentation, whereas apoptosis induction by increased NaCl concentration was not accompanied by DNA fragmentation. However, both treatments induced dephosphorylation of H1 histones. In contrast, treatment of Raji cells with alkylphosphocholine led to induction of apoptosis with internucleosomal fragmentation, albeit without notable histone H1 dephosphorylation. These results demonstrate that dephosphorylation of H1 histones is neither a prerequisite for nor a consequence of internucleosomal cleavage. Moreover, we observed with an in vitro assay that the known enhancing effect of H1 histones on the activity of the apoptosis-induced endonuclease DFF40 is independent of the subtype or the phosphorylation state of the linker histone
Player agency in interactive narrative: audience, actor & author
No full textThe question motivating this review paper is, how can
computer-based interactive narrative be used as a constructivist learn-
ing activity? The paper proposes that player agency can be used to
link interactive narrative to learner agency in constructivist theory,
and to classify approaches to interactive narrative. The traditional
question driving research in interactive narrative is, ‘how can an in-
teractive narrative deal with a high degree of player agency, while
maintaining a coherent and well-formed narrative?’ This question
derives from an Aristotelian approach to interactive narrative that,
as the question shows, is inherently antagonistic to player agency.
Within this approach, player agency must be restricted and manip-
ulated to maintain the narrative. Two alternative approaches based
on Brecht’s Epic Theatre and Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed are
reviewed. If a Boalian approach to interactive narrative is taken the
conflict between narrative and player agency dissolves. The question
that emerges from this approach is quite different from the traditional
question above, and presents a more useful approach to applying in-
teractive narrative as a constructivist learning activity
