Ardella Magnaemirabilis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Ardellini), A New Scarabaeoid Species, Genus And Tribe From The Southwestern United States, M. J. Paulsen

Insecta Mundi

An interesting new taxon of scarabaeoid beetle is described from western Texas, USA. The remark­ably small chafer, Ardella magnaemirabilis new genus, new species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Ardellini) is described and compared to other diminutive scarabaeoid genera from drier habitats of the southwestern USA. The tribe Ardellini, new tribe, is erected to accommodate the unusual genus.

After a few centuries with entomologists scouring the continent, the discovery of unknown Nearctic scarab gen­era is no longer commonplace. The western United States, in particular, is biogeographically diverse with pockets of endemism that makes such discoveries still possible, driving collectors to continue sampling …

Malay Journal

Problemang maituturing dahil Ingles ang wikang ginagamit sa mga korte ng Pilipinas. Kung hindi sanay o maalam ang nasasakdal sa wikang ginagamit ng hukuman partikular sa kabuuang proseso ng paglilitis, malaki ang posibilidad na magdulot ito ng hindi pagkakaunawaan. Natatangi ang sitwasyon ng Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) sa sistemang legal ng bansa. Liban sa ipinagkakaloob sa kanila ang alternatibong pagpataw ng kaparusahan na kaiba sa mga kadalasang sumasailalim sa prosesong legal, sila rin ang sektor na kadalasang hindi sanay gumamit ng wikang Ingles. Bunsod ng kanilang sitwasyon, mahalaga ang nagiging gamit ng wikang Filipino sa kabuuang proseso …

Ilang Repleksiyon Sa “Utak Mo May Covid” Bilang Sinulti At Ekspresyon Sa Social Media, Mark Anthony Angeles

Malay Journal

Madalas gamitin sa social media ang ekspresyong “utak mo may COVID.” Mayroon itong temporal na dimensiyon, dahil nakatali ito sa pagbansag ng World Health Organization sa sakit na dala ng SARS-CoV-2 bilang COVID-19, noong 11 Pebrero 2020. Sa pag-aaral na ito, ginamit ang salitang Sebuwano na sinulti bilang katumbas ng lingguwistikong terminong utterance. Tataluntunin ang pinagmulan nito, bilang deribasyon ng isang ekspresyong tumahak sa ibang direksiyon sa social media. Hihimayin din ang leksikal at semantikong kahulugan ng bawat salita sa ekspresyon, para patunayan kung bakit naging epektibo ang mga ito, sa pagdaan ng maraming taon, bilang isang retorika ng pang-iinsulto. …

Bakit Dapat Manaliksik Sa Filipino Ang Mga Pilipino?: Kritik Sa Scopus-Sentrismo Ng Mga Unibersidad At Ahensiyang Pang- Edukasyon At/O Pampananaliksik Sa Pilipinas, David Michael San Juan

Malay Journal

Ang Scopus ay isang database ng mga piling journal na itinuturing nilang de-kalidad/de-kalibre. Pag-aari ito ng Netherlands- based na kumpanyang Elsevier, at isa rin sa mga karaniwang batayan ng mga panukatan (metrics) sa mga pagraranggo ng mga unibersidad sa buong daigdig. Bunsod ng nabanggit na realidad, kapansin-pansin ang pag-iral ng Scopus-sentrismo—ang pagkiling sa Scopus bilang isa sa mga pangunahing batayan ng de-kalidad na saliksik – sa mga polisiya ng mga unibersidad sa bansa at ng mga ahensiyang pang-edukasyon at/o pampananaliksik. Sa ganitong konteksto, layunin ng papel na ito na 1) makapagbigay ng makabuluhang impormasyon tungkol sa Scopus at sistema ng …

Communication Sciences and Disorders Faculty Articles and Research

Broca’s area is frequently implicated in sentence comprehension but its specific role is debated. Most lesion studies have investigated deficits at the chronic stage. We aimed (1) to use acute imaging to predict which left hemisphere stroke patients will recover sentence comprehension; and (2) to better understand the role of Broca’s area in sentence comprehension by investigating acute deficits prior to functional reorganization. We assessed comprehension of canonical and noncanonical sentences in 15 patients with left hemisphere stroke at acute and chronic stages. LASSO regression was used to conduct lesion symptom mapping analyses. Patients with more severe word-level comprehension deficits …

Forming A More Perfect Honor System: Why The Trend Of Over-Legalizing Academic Honor Codes Must Be Reversed, Christopher M. Hartley

Catholic University Law Review

Legal processes dominate many honor systems at schools and universities. The negative impacts of this legal saturation include time-consuming, overly burdensome, and seldom understood honor systems as well as a shift of student focus from compliance with honor codes to a fixation on exoneration, given the increased opportunity for fighting and defeating honor allegations using legal recourses. This article is a clarion call for higher education immediate action: schools must scrutinize their honor systems to ensure they are legally efficient, not legally saturated. Authors of books and law journal articles have meticulously reviewed the academic honor system history and legal …

Regulating Data Exclusivity Of Ride-Hailing Service In Indonesian Competition Law, Annisa Rahma Diasti

Indonesia Law Review

The digital ride-hailing service platforms have advanced significantly due to technological development. It resulted in lower consumer costs and better-quality service. Thus, consumers opted for such platforms more than the conventional transportation, resulting in their exponential growth over the years such as Gojek and Grab in Indonesia. Their strong market position was achieved quickly, facilitated by innovation advantages such as indirect network effects and algorithm-based analysis of users’ past data. Ultimately, data has become a barrier for potential competitors to entering the market. Simultaneously, the incumbents or the dominant market holders likely to use a technology-based strategy by keeping access …
