Rajburicoris, a new genus of Cardiastethini, and discussion of the systematic position of Dufouriellus (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae)

Rajburicoris stysi gen. nov. and sp. nov. from Thailand is described and the male and female genitalia are examined and illustrated. A review of the diagnostic characters of the tribe Cardiastethini Carayon, 1972, nom. restit., is given. The systematic position of the controversial genus Dufouriellus Kirkaldy, 1906, is discussed and the genus is transferred to Anthocorini; Dufouriellini Van Duzee, 1916, syn. nov., becomes a junior synonym of Anthocorini.Fil: Carpintero, Diego Leonardo.

Proyecto de agroturismo en la comarca de Terra de Lemos (Galicia)

The Project for the Recovery of Galician Intangible Cultural Heritage known as Ronsel Project intends to promote the reassesment and conservation of Galician Intangible Cultural Heritage or Patrimonio cultural inmaterial (PCI). The richness and complexity of heritage derived from a greatvariety of cultural and social expressions calls for the establishment of a wide action plan that proves capable of achieving the following basic goals: identification, documentation, research, protection, promotion, transmission and socialization of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Ronsel Project, departs from the principle that it is possible to identify strategies of economic development based on the traditional knowledge and practices that allow for innovative ways of administering, thus contributing to guarantee the sustainable growth of the community and the conservation of its natural and socialenvironment. The following article presents the activities financed by the INCITE program, thus offering a first assessment on designing tourism products based on intangible cultural heritage

Welfare regimes as enablers of just energy transitions: Revisiting and testing the hypothesis of synergy for Europe

.Welfare States are considered key tools to provide just transitions. The hypothesis of synergy states that Social-democratic regimes are in a better position to accomplish them. While synergy has been widely theorised, its empirical verification has remained less studied and provided contradictory results. The weaknesses detected in the state-of-the-art, such as the misalignment of empirical testing and the theoretical drivers of synergy, as well as inconsistencies in the selection of variables and biases imposed by classifications in discrete timings, lead us to define an improved methodological framework. We apply the continuous observation of Ward's hierarchical clustering in squared Euclidean distances under Thorndike's criterium to twenty-three European countries between 2008 and 2016 and reject synergy after detecting that Social-democratic regimes display the best social conditions but the worst environmental performances and that society and the environment are not linked. This outcome motivates us to propose a discussion with a focus on the sustainability of economic growth and the opportunities for sustainable welfare scholarship to settle it.S

Just transitions to renewables in mining areas: Local system dynamics

[EN] In the field of just energy transitions, local scales have been relegated and limited to qualitative approaches with non-specific methods by observation. Local quantitative approaches have gained popularity but remain far from the topic of just transitions and elude rural areas, probably because of data scarcity. Amid the quantitative panoply, system dynamics is attracting greater attention to alleviate such data shortages. Yet, despite the claim for holistic approaches, its application is scarce in rural contexts. This research presents an intuitive, scalable, and easily adaptable modelling exercise through system dynamics to estimate the effects on net employment and land availability of restructuring towards renewable energy sources in the rural mining areas of León (Spain), presenting possible lessons and policy implications for local and rural just transitions. A partially just transition is feasible in the short term, but a properly just transition is three decades late. The most optimistic projections suggest the potential creation of around five thousand jobs per zone, which is significantly fewer than the approximately forty-five thousand jobs that were recorded during the peak years of coal mining exploitation. Renewables fail to keep a young, qualified population in the areas, therefore showing the need to potentiate alternative activities, as well as causing sensitive trade-offs between land requirements and potential net employment. Land reductions for renewable projects vary depending on the scenario, ranging from 6 % to 17 %. This range poses a threat to the ecological integrity of these areas.S

LP-VIcode: a program to compute a suite of variational chaos indicators

An important point in analyzing the dynamics of a given stellar or planetary system is the reliable identification of the chaotic or regular behavior of its orbits. We introduce here the program LP-VIcode, a fully operational code which efficiently computes a suite of ten variational chaos indicators for dynamical systems in any number of dimensions. The user may choose to simultaneously compute any number of chaos indicators among the following: the Lyapunov Exponents, the Mean Exponential Growth factor of Nearby Orbits, the Slope Estimation of the largest Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent, the Smaller ALignment Index, the Generalized ALignment Index, the Fast Lyapunov Indicator, the Orthogonal Fast Lyapunov Indicator, the dynamical Spectra of Stretching Numbers, the Spectral Distance, and the Relative Lyapunov Indicator. They are combined in an efficient way, allowing the sharing of differential equations whenever this is possible, and the individual stopping of their computation when any of them saturates.Instituto de Astrofísica de La PlataFacultad de Ciencias Astronómicas y Geofísica

New records of Dipsocoromorpha, Cimicomorpha and Pentatomomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Argentina

Twenty species of Heteroptera belonging to seven families are recorded for the first time for Argentina: Ceratocombidae (1 sp.), Reduviidae (1 sp.), Miridae (4 sp.), Nabidae (5 sp.), Largidae (2 sp.), Rhyparochromidae (4 sp.), Berytidae (1 sp.), Colobathristidae (1 sp.) and Pachygronthidae (1 sp.). The following genera represent new records from Argentina: Astemmoplitus, Bathycles, Tenuicoris, Pseudopamera (Rhyparochromidae), Diascopoea (Colobathristidae). A new synonym in the family Largidae is established: Largus umbrosus Distant is considered a junior synonym of Largus trochanterus Signoret.Fil: Dellapé, Pablo Matías.

Cuscohoplininus pagoreni: a new genus and species of Hoplinini stilt bug from Peru (Heteroptera: Berytidae)

The Berytidae or stilt bugs are a cosmopolitan family of lygaeoid bugs, which are slender, elongate insects, with generally cylindrical bodies and very long, slender antennae and legs. Members of the tribe Hoplinini are characterized by the lack of a distinct metapleural scent channel and the possession of a dorsally directed process on the caudal edge of the male genitalia capsule (absent in Xenoloma and Cuscohoplininus). In this paper, we described the new genus and species Cuscohoplininus pagoreni from Peru. Scanning electron micrographs are provided to illustrate taxonomically important structures. Among the eight genera known in the tribe Hoplinini, the new genus Cuscohoplininus resembles Parajalysus in general aspect and size, but can be easily distinguished by the following characters: Parajalysus is characterized by the four large, erect pronotal spines, one centered on the anterior lobe, and on the posterior lobe, one at each humeral angle and one at the base of the meson; whereas, Cuscohoplininus has a single spine on the anterior pronotal lobe, an elongate scutellar spine (a tubercle is present in Parajalysus), and lacks a process on the caudal edge of the male genitalia capsule.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse
