Call For Participation, John Venecek, Barry Mauer, Connie Lester, Keri Watson

The Citizen Curator Project

The Citizen Curator Project of Central Florida invites participants to create a series of exhibitions in spring and summer 2017 focused on the theme "Eliminationism and Resilience." A particularly potent example of eliminationism, defined as discourses, actions, and social policies that seek to suppress, exile, or exterminate perceived opponents, is the recent Pulse nightclub attack, whereas the Orlando United campaign may be viewed as an act of resilience.

New Records Of Michigan Cicadidae (Homoptera), With Notes On The Use Of Songs To Monitor Range Changes, David Ciszek Marshall, John R. Cooley, Richard D. Alexander, Thomas E. Moore

The Great Lakes Entomologist

We present records of Diceroprocta vitripennis, Tibicen chloromera, and Tibicen pruinosa (new state record) in Michigan. Monitoring geographic range changes and population size differences by song suggests several population situations for cicadas: (1) sizable populations in most areas of apparently good habitat; (2) widely separated single individuals or small populations on the edges of populated regions, representing range extensions that may be of limited duration; (3) one or a few individuals present only once, probably transferred in soil on roots, and ultimately unsuccessful. Species- specific calling songs allow sensitive measurement of species' range changes.

Epizootiology Of The Fungal Pathogen, Zoophthora Phytonomi (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) In Field Populations Of Alfalfa Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae In Illinois, Marilyn J. Morris, Stephen J. Roberts, Joseph V. Maddox, Edward J. Armbrust

The Great Lakes Entomologist

The influence of the fungal pathogen, Zoophthora phytonomi, on larvae of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, was studied in three alfalfa fields in Illinois. Disease epizootics occurred in all three fields and disease onset was ob- served within a fairly narrow range of degree day accumulations. At the height of each epizootic, percentages of infected larvae were between 80 and 100%, and the fungus contributed to the collapse of the weevil population in each field. Percent parasitism by the larval parasitoids, Bathyplectes cur­culionis and B. anurus, was lower in our fields than is common in mid-season alfalfa …

Effects Of Hybrid Poplar (Salicaceae) Clone And Phenology On Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Performance In Wisconsin, James J. Kruse, Kenneth F. Raffa

The Great Lakes Entomologist

Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) developmental interactions with two hybrid Populus species clones were studied in laboratory trials. Significant differences in larval performance were found between clones and within the same clone at different phenological states. No larvae were able to complete development on clone NM6. All gypsy moth larvae feeding on clone NC5271 survived when leafflush was synchronized with gypsy moth eclosion in early May. However, neonates feeding on NC5271 foliage in July experienced in- creased mortality. Weights of surviving gypsy moth larvae feeding on NC5271 foliage in May versus July were not significantly different.

Factors Affecting Abundance Of Adult Karner Blues (Lycaeides Melissa Samuelis) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) In Wisconsin Surveys 1987-95, Ann B. Swengel, Scott R. Swengel

The Great Lakes Entomologist

At 141 pine-oak barrens in central and northwestern Wisconsin, 3,702 Karner blues (Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabokov) were found in 81.1 hr of transect surveys during spring and 6,094 individuals in 116.6 hr during sum­mer. Adults offive other closely related lycaenids occurred with Karner blues. The percentage of Karner blue males (of sexed individuals) correlated nega- tively with advancing date within brood, exceeded 50% on peak date within brood, but showed wide variability on a given date. Karner blues occasionally occurred up to 800 m from the nearest larval host, or in tiny, isolated host stands. However, all individuals were …

Natural Enemies Of Cranberry Fruitworm, Acrobasis Vaccinii, (Lepidoptera: Pyraudae) In Michigan Highbush Blueberries, Dogulas A. Murray, Robert D. Kriegel, James W. Johnson, Angus J. Howitt

The Great Lakes Entomologist

A two-year study was conducted in Michigan highbush blueberries to determine the complex of parasitoids attacking cranberry fruitworm, Acrobasis vaccinii. Eight parasitoid species and one fungal pathogen were collected. Parasitism of collected hosts ranged from 6.6% to 28.1%. The more common larval parasitoid encountered was Campoletis patsuiketorum (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). The more common parasitoid recovered from fruitworm hibernacula was Villa lateralis (Diptera: Bombyliidae). This study documented six unreported natural enemies of cranberry fruitworm, including C. patsuiketorum; V. lateralis; Diadegma compressum (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae); Compsilura concinnata (Diptera: Tachinidae); Memorilla pyste (Diptera: Tachinidae); an undescribed Microtypus species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae); and a fungal pathogen, …

Oviposition By The Banded Sunflower Moth, Cochylis Hospes (Lepidoptera: Cochylidae) In Response To Helianthus Annuus Pollen, John F. Barker, Sharon Grugel

The Great Lakes Entomologist

Oviposition on an artificial substrate by the banded sunflower moth Cochylis hospes Walsingham was examined in response to sunflower pollen (Helianthus annuus) and sunflower pollen extract. Sunflower pollen in quantities as small as 0.2 mg significantly reduced oviposition on an artificial substrate relative to a control without pollen. Aqueous pollen extract applied to the artificial substrate significantly reduced oviposition with respect to the control substrate that was treated with solvent. Banded sunflower moths have gained some reproductive or competitive advantage by ovipositing on the bracts of sunflower and a deterrent effect of pollen could, at least in part, have had …

Laboratory Rearing Of Lycaeides Melissa Samuelis (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), An Endangered Butterfly In Michigan, Catherine Papp Herms, Deborah G. Mccullough, Deborah L. Miller, Leah S. Bauer, Robert A. Haack

The Great Lakes Entomologist

The Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) is listed as a federally endangered species in the United States. It occurs in oak savanna and pine barren habitats from eastern Minnesota to New Hampshire. In 1994, we successfully reared Karner blue larvae under controlled laboratory conditions for experimental purposes, and report on those rearing methods here. We collected 20 female Karner blue adults of the spring generation from two areas in Michigan, and housed them in cages in an environmental chamber at 240 -26°C for 5 days. The female butterflies produced 154 eggs, of which 72 hatched in an average of …

Observations Of Incisalia Irus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidael In Central Wisconsin 1988-95, Ann B. Swengel

The Great Lakes Entomologist

In surveys conducted during 1988-95, 164 individuals of the frosted elfin (Incisalia irus) were found, 139 of them during formal transects that totaled 92.9 hr and 179.4 km of survey effort during the frosted elfin flight period. Individuals were observed between 10 May and 14 June, with maximum . t spans in a single year of 27-31 days. Peak flight occurred just before or e beginning of peak flowering of the larval host, wild lupine (Lupinus perennis), and the first spring adults of Karner blue (Lycaeides melissa samuelis), also monophagous as larvae on wild lupine. Fourteen individuals exhibited …

Allegory And Ambiguity In The Films Of Majid Majidi: A Theodicy Of Meaning (Farsi), Cyrus Ali Zargar

Journal of Religion & Film

This paper explores the place of traditional metaphysics in Iranian cinema through an analysis of three films by Majid Majidi. Countering evaluations of Majidi’s films as tritely patriarchal or heavy-handedly logocentric, this paper considers images and allegories in Majidi’s films as responses to the pains of modernity. Majidi’s films, specifically, Children of Heaven, Baran, and the Color of God, draw on Sufi and Shii theologies to locate meaning in a world changed by war, modernization, economic disparity, and nationalism. The result is a sense of ambiguity that aims at both realism and transcendence.

The 360 Degree Approach: Patient Forward App Development In The Healthcare Space, Rob Mruczek, Tori Styner

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

The Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (JTOG) is a responsive, modern mobile application designed to bring this honesty to healthcare. The app helps to evaluate teamwork at a healthcare system from all possible angles, giving a true 360 degree view of the experience of all participants in a medical setting. A patient's experience in a health system is hardly ever the result of a single employee of that health system, but rather a team of people dedicated to that patient's care, who all have a role in taking care of the patient's particular needs. The best teams, just like the best …

Listen In Silence: Narrative Medicine With Interprofessional Teams, Deepthiman Gowda Md, Mph

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

My interest in health humanities began in medical school when I took an elective on literature and medicine with Robert Coles. Reading works by Raymond Carver and William Carlos Williams, we explored the patient's experience of illness and probed the ethical and emotional challenges of giving care. It seemed as if a curtain had been pulled to reveal marvelous hidden rooms, places where new understandings of health and illness could be had. I recognized that some things that were true about illness could not be understood using a scientific lens. The singular, lived experience of those who are sick or …

Using Trauma Case-Based Learning To Inspire Interprofessional Readiness Among Future Health Professionals, Jeanne Felter Phd, Lpc, Stephen Didonato Phd, Lpc, Amy Baker Ms, Pa-C, Richard Hass Phd, Michelle D. Gorenberg Otd, Otr/L

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Background

It is well established in the literature that patient outcomes and quality of care are optimized when disciplines work together (Chonienne et al., 2010). Interprofessional practice (IPP) among health professionals is even more important when working with individuals exposed to trauma, which can result in disrupted physical, cognitive, and social development, and manifest in an array of physical and psychological symptoms (e.g. Felitti & Anda, 1998). Consequently, professionals across social service and healthcare systems may encounter and simultaneously serve trauma-affected individuals. However, healthcare and behavioral health systems are historically fragmented and frequently fail to provide the coordinated and integrated …
