Meringopus reverendus VAN ROSSEM 1969
No full text28. Meringopus cf. reverendus VAN ROSSEM, 1969 U n t e r s u c h t e s M a t e r i a l: Afghanistan: Kabul, 5.1983, on Amond shoot (1♀; NHMUK). 1♀ aus Afghanistan ähnelt stark M. reverendus VAN ROSSEM, weicht aber durch einige Merkmale etwas ab: Fühler 41gliedrig, 3. Glied (ohne Anellus) 4,9-mal so lang wie breit; Stirn nur dorsal gerunzelt, darunter eine grössere Fläche, die ausser der schwachen Körnelung glatt ist, Stirn glänzend sowie lateral deutlich gekörnelt und fein punktiert; Metapleuren vollständig gestreift bzw. längsgerunzelt; Bohrerklappen 1,1-mal so lang wie die Tibien III; Bohrerspitze 4,4-mal so lang wie hoch, ventral mit relativ schwachen Zähnchen (Abb. 118); Körperlänge 12,5 mm. Da nicht ausgeschlossen ist, dass dieses Exemplar eine Variante von M. reverendus VAN ROSSEM ist, wird hier von einer Neubeschreibung abgesehen.Published as part of Schwarz, Martin, 2020, Zur Kenntnis der paläarktischen Meringopus-Arten (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae), pp. 583-682 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 52 (1) on page 650, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.527388

Manifesto on the Datafication of Mobility Across Borders
No full textWe present the
Manifesto on the Datafication of Mobility Across Borders
. Datafication is expanding the potential
to produce and circulate information about people at unprecedented speed and scope. This is particularly
revealed when people are “on the move” through territories of which they are not citizens. In this Manifesto,
we are interested in the datafication practices and infrastructures that produce people as radical others.
Practices of datafication and data infrastructures make people on the move kn
owable, but they do not
represent them neutrally. They often enact them as “alterity
,
” as inherently alien others against whom an
“us” can be identified. Allegedly implemented for security purposes, not always well designed, often sloppily
applied, practices and infrastructures of datafication of people on the move as others run the risk o
f
subjecting vulnerable people to a perpetual state of precarity and securitization, and polities to long
-
term
policies of expulsion. As sociologists of technology, ethnog
raphers, political scholars, and software
developers, we have witnessed with growing concern the recurrent instrumentalization of datafication for
assessing identities of people on the move. The ten principles of this Manifesto are drawn from research
cond
ucted over seven years by the
Processing Citizenship
research team and discussed with the international
scientific community involved in social studies of science and technology, migration, border and mobility
studies, and security studies. We offer these
principles based on best practices and empirical observation so
that policymakers can hold to account national and European agencies tasked with home security functions,
and IT developers can hold to account the infrastructures they design and implement
Sensing European Alterity. An analogy between sensors and Hotspots in transnational security networks
No full textThe experiment we propose to conduct in this Chapter explores the extent to which an analogy between architectures of sensor networks and trans-national security orders can have heuristic consequences and reveal new aspects of the latter term of comparison. Experiments’ goal does not pertain to the realm of discovery, but to that of creation. To what extent can an analogy between data and institutional architectures provide new insights for inquiry?
The two elements of the proposed analogy are sensor data infrastructures and border security networks for migration management. Not only such security networks heavily rely upon data infrastructures, they also articulate trans-national orders which “hit the ground” at distinctive, state-bound locales. One type of such locales are the so called “Hotspots”: migrant registration and identification centres set up at the external borders of Europe in 2015. Following literature on sensor architectures, we propose to consider four relevant features in order to unfold the analogy: the topological position of sensors as input devices, their ability to produce knowledge that would not otherwise exist, separation of concern and data reduction as design criteria.
In conducing this experiment, we also propose a methodological and epistemological challenge. First, the proposed analogy is followed to the point of reaching its own limits. Second, we further Bruno Latour's insight that textual accounts are the social scientist’s laboratory. A well written text is a laboratory in that it makes the production of realism and objectivity progressively more complicated by constantly listening to the objections exerted by humans and artefacts.
Such “listening to objections” has taken place through the analysis of regulation and evidence collected during fieldwork at Hotspots in the Hellenic Republic in 2018, as well as analysis of information systems and technical documents developed by Hellenic and European authorities. As a result of such “listening”, we suggest that migrant registration and identification centres can be understood as “sensing nodes of equivalence”. On one hand, they might be conceived of as “sensors” of European infrastructures for the “processing of alterity” (Pelizza 2019). On the other hand, registration and identification centres are not only input “points” of European migration management architectures: they are also “nodes” of equivalence in global security networks. We suggest that Hotspots are nodes tasked with making non-European standards and procedures linguistically and materially equivalent to national ones
Practical issues in treatment of appendicitis
No full textAppendicitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain and an appendectomy is still the gold standard of treatment. In spite of the high incidence, variance in diagnostic and treatment modalities remains an issue among surgeons. In this thesis several practical issues in the diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis are investigated and discussed. For a significant part of this thesis, a prospective multicentre ‘snapshot’ study was conducted to evaluate various aspects and outcomes of surgical treatment for acute appendicitis. A ‘snapshot’ study comprises short-term multicentre research that is conceived and implemented by (surgical) trainees. The ‘snapshot’ appendicitis study was the first Dutch study conducted according to a novel study design. In this study, 1975 consecutive patients were included by 62 Dutch hospitals in a 2-month time frame. The currently standard preoperative imaging in the Netherlands has successfully reduced the normal appendectomy rate to a very low number, especially compared to other countries or historical cohorts. Laparoscopy is nowadays the prevailing technique for an appendectomy and proved to lower the surgical site infection rate compared to open surgery. After surgery for acute complicated appendicitis the standard prolongation of antibiotic treatment can be limited to 3 days and possibly even shorter. For closure of the appendix stump in laparoscopy, routine endoloop use is advised over endostapler use for cost considerations because similar outcomes in terms of complications were found after using these closure techniques
