Distribution and ecological characterization of Theridion hemerobium SIMON 1914 (Araneae: Theridiidae) in Europe

Theridion hemerobium wurde bereits 1914 beschrieben. Verbreitung und Ökologie blieben jedoch lange Zeit unklar, zumal viele Funde anderen, neubeschriebenen Arten zugeordnet wurden, bei denen es sich tatsächlich um T. hemerobium handelte. Folgende Synonyme sind bekannt: Theridion berkeleyi LEVl, 1957, T. ornatum TULLGREN, 1949, T. hemerobius sensu BLlCK et al. 1993, T.antusi KASAL, 1982, T. zelotypum KASTON, 1948, Allotheridion fieldi LEVI & FIELD, 1954 (vgl. BOSMANS et al. 1994, PLATNICK 1998)

Gorenstein stable surfaces satisfying K_X^2 = 2 and χ(O_X)=4

We define and study a concrete stratification of the moduli space of Gorenstein stable surfaces X satisfying K_X^2 = 2 and χ(O_X ) = 4, by first establishing an isomorphism with the moduli space of plane octics with certain singularities, which is then easier to handle concretely. In total, there are 47 inhabited strata with altogether 78 components

Review of \u3ci\u3ePlains Indian Art: The Pioneering Work of John C. Ewers\u3c/i\u3e edited by Jane Ewers Robinson

John Canfield Ewers (1909-1997) authored two important books on Plains Indian art: Plains Indian Painting: A Description of an Aboriginal American Art (1939) and Plains Indian Sculpture: A Traditional Art from America\u27s Heartland (1986). The present collection is the second of two volumes of short essays first published in journals and specialized catalogs. The first, Plains Indian History and Culture: Essays on Continuity and Change (1997), included a number of essays that looked to works of art as sources of primary historical information. This volume collects fifteen essays foregrounding works of art and matters of style, iconography, the historiography of Plains art, as well as patterns of patronage that shaped major collections

Institutionalized Service-Learniing in the 50 States

Service-learning is a teaching method that combines service to the community with classroom curriculum. Service-learning is more than merely community service. It is a hands-on approach to mastering subject material while fostering civic responsibility. On a programmatic level, service-learning in America is thriving. Through funds from the Corporation for National Service, almost every state has resources and some level of a service-learning program. Although practitioners and other service-learning advocates have long regarded service-learning as a way to increase student achievement and student civic engagement and decrease a host of problems, such as drop-out rates and school crime and violence, there is now a growing interest from policymakers. They are beginning to wonder what service-learning policy looks like and what other states are doing with service-learning policy
