Ants have a negative impact on populations of many arthropod species. On the other hand, numerous arthropod species live in association with ants. In this paper we list ant-associated beetles (including myrmecophiles) of Fennoscandia and Denmark. Data is based on a literature survey and new field observations. We list 369 ant-associated beetle species of which 73 are categorized as myrmecophilous. Our data suggests that there might be numerous beetle species associated with ants, which are not generally known to do so. This indicates that ant colonies may be important habitats for a large variety of beetle species.

Ideas of nationalisms as masculine projects dominate literary texts by African male writers. The texts mirror the ways in which gender differentiation sanctions nationalist discourses and in turn how nationalist discourses reinforce gender hierarchies. This article draws on theoretical insights from the work of Anne McClintock and Elleke Boehmer to analyse two plays: Zintgraff and the Battle of Mankon by Bole Butake and Gilbert Doho and Hard Choice by Sunnie Ododo. The article argues that women are represented in these two plays as having an ambiguous relationship to nationalism. On the one hand, women are seen actively changing the face of politics in their societies, but on the other hand, the means by which they do so reduces them to stereotypes of their gender.

This chapter presents a reading of Plato’s Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito. These dialogues, in which Plato depicts the weeks leading up to Socrates’s last day, are replete with various philosophical explorations. Among those explorations is the question of how to live our lives. On the one hand, Socrates is clear and straightforward. We should live the examined life—making logoi and examining ourselves and others in order to determine whether we are as wise as we think we are, and we should live the virtuous life. This is how Socrates lives his life. On the other hand, the examined life undercuts, or at least should undercut, the confidence with which he seeks to live the virtuous life. It may help bring some stability to the general principles by which he lives his life, but it can do so only defeasibly and without certainty.

We describe and analyze the previously undocumented verbal agreement system of Kutchi (Indo-Aryan). We argue that Kutchi instantiates a novel type of split ergativity. First, it exhibits an aspect split in that agreement in non-perfective clauses behaves on a par with agreement in intransitive perfective clauses, in stark contrast to transitive perfective clauses. A striking property of Kutchi is that these asymmetries manifest themselves in the richness of agreement. In the former configurations, the verb agrees with the subject for person, number and gender. In the latter, on the other hand, agreement is systematically defective and reliable fails to cross-references certain φ-features. In addition to this aspect split, Kutchi displays a person split: While the verb normally agrees with the subject, it surprisingly fails to do so in transitive perfective clauses with a 1st person subject. Instead, it is the object that triggers agreement in these configurations, likewise in a defective manner. We will argue that these agreement asymmetries are syntactic in nature rather than morphological. Our analysis builds on, and extends, previous work by Laka (2006) and Coon (2010).

The paper comments on the influence of various technological factors influencing the values of elastic modulus. Today, the composition of concrete combines the classic input components with the significant use of mixed cements, active admixtures and superplasticizers in order to achieve the required compressive strength of concrete and durability while reducing costs. On the other hand, the composition of these concretes has a negative impact on the elastic modulus which are significantly lower than the values derived from compressive strength in Eurocode 2. At the end of the article is a list of measures that are a prerequisite for obtaining the required concrete elastic modulus.

The Impact

Chapter 8 discusses the impact of digital media on collective memory. The chapter examines both the positive and negative impact of digital and social media. On the one hand, the analysis notes how digital media provided the channels for memory mobilization and the archives for memory transmission. On the other hand, the analysis examines the problematics of memory balkanization. It explicates how political forces have shaped the development of digital and social media in Hong Kong and how competing representations of the Tiananmen Incident and commemoration activities are articulated and reinforced within distinctive memory silos.

AbstractAn increasing number of studies are being devoted to the investigation of what aspects of grammar, and of events, expressed in speech are coordinated with gesture. However, previous studies have focused on gesture use in relation to either transitivity or event properties, without considering how these factors interact. In this study, we consider how gesture use relates to transitivity when the type of event in the causativeinchoative alternation is considered, and also how gesture use relates to properties of the events when the type of transitivity is considered. We found various relations both between gesture use and transitivity on the one hand, and between gesture use and certain properties of events on the other hand. Whereas some of the results contrast with the findings in previous studies about the relation between gesture and transitivity, other results obtained actually reinforce and complement some previous findings. The results concerning event properties and gesture also add to previous studies about which properties of certain motor-spatial events relate to gesture and how they do so. The study thus provides a more nuanced understanding of the relation between gesture and language.

We discuss the consequences of the possibility that Vassiliev invariants do not detect knot invertibility as well as the fact that quantum Lie group invariants are known not to do so. On the other hand, finite group invariants, such as the set of homomorphisms from the knot group to M11, can detect knot invertibility. For many natural classes of knot invariants, including Vassiliev invariants and quantum Lie group invariants, we can conclude that the invariants either distinguish all oriented knots, or there exist prime, unoriented knots which they do not distinguish.

This article aimed to analyze the stereotypes attributed to "egalitarian men", understood here as men who support gender equality in relation to domestic and family responsibilities as well as inclusion in the workforce. To do so, two studies were carried out. The first study investigated the attribution of stereotypes to egalitarian men through a single open question. A total of 250 university students participated in this study, of which 51.1% were male, and their average age was 21.5 years (SD = 4.39). The second study analyzed the attribution of stereotypes to egalitarian or traditional men and women in a work context considered masculine. Participants included 221 university students with a mean age of 21.9 years (SD = 4.19), the majority (54.3%) being male. Taken together, the results of the two studies indicate that the egalitarian man is perceived as fragile and possibly homosexual. On the other hand, he is also seen as being more competent than traditional men.

Oligopoly and oligopsony have been studied extensively. However, the dual figure of the oligopsonistic-oligopolistic intermediary has not been. This dual personality has a double negative impact on the market, on one hand reduces the demand to producers who face a competitive market, lowering prices as buyers, and on the other hand reducing its offer by raising the prices as sellers. In this way, their benefits are increased buying cheap and selling expensive, affecting effective demand of the consumer and the effective supply of the initial producer.

ResumoA compreensão de quilombo como território de resistência e preservação da cultura de base africana perpassa os discursos de pesquisadores diversos, como Almeida, O’Dwyer e Arruti, inserindo-se nas análises deste último as ressemantizações sofridas pelo termo e os determinantes históricos que as trouxeram à luz. A ressemantização, ainda segundo Arruti, que interpreta quilombo como território de resistência, vai compor as bandeiras do Movimento Negro Unificado (MNU). Por outro lado, o entendimento de currículo como relação de poder e como instrumento/estratégia capaz de interferir na formação do outro revela o quanto este instituto pedagógico é capaz de inserir/excluir, empoderar/fragilizar, desvelar/camuflar. É neste cenário de entendimentos que se insereeste artigo, objetivando pensar/propor saberes capazes de fomentar a Educação Escolar Quilombola nosterritórios dos remanescentes quilombos e nas unidades de ensino que atendem a estudantes originários/as daquelas comunidades. Para tanto, construímos diálogos com as legislações (vigentes) e com teóricos que abordam a temática. Palavras-chave: quilombo; currículo; educação escolar quilombola. Reflections on quilombola school education: elements for teaching practice AbstractThe understanding of a quilombo as a resistance territory and african culture preservation territory permeates the words of several researchers, such as Almeida, O’Dwyer and Arruti, being inserted in the last author’s analysis the changes in meaning suffered by the expression and the historical determinants which brought those to light. – It’s precisely the change in meaning, still according to Arruti, who interprets a quilombo as a space/time of resistance that will compose the flags of the United Black Movement (UBM). On the other hand, the understanding of curriculum as a power relation and as a tool/strategy capable of interfering in the formation of other emphasizes how much this pedagogic institute is able to insert/exclude, empower/weaken, revealing/hiding. It is in such a scenario of thoughts and understandings that this article is inserted, aiming to think/propose knowledges capable of promoting Quilombola School Education in the territories of the remaining quilombos and at the educational units that assist students originated/from that community. To do so, we have established dialogues with legislations (in effect) and also with theorists who do research on the topic.Keywords: quilombo; curriculum; quilombola school education.
