Morphological and phylogenetic evidence reveal three new species of Aureoboletus (Boletaceae, Boletales) from China

Species of Aureoboletus (Boletaceae, Boletales) are diverse in China, and many taxa in the country have been described to date. Here, additional three new species, viz. A. guangdongensis, A. microcarpus, and A. rugosus are described based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences. Detailed descriptions, color photographs of fresh basidiomata, and line drawings of the microscopic features of the three new taxa are presented.

A case of presumed bilateral central retinal artery occlusion following methanol poisoning

It is well established that methanol poisoning induces commonly acute toxic optic neuropathy. Herein, we describe a case of unusual ocular manifestation. A 35-year-old male presented with painless, bilateral, and simultaneous sudden onset of severe visual loss following methanol poisoning. The visual acuity was 20/200 in the right eye and limited to a finger count in the left eye. Fundus color photography showed a bilateral sub-total central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). A methanolemia carried out following the hemodialysis returned to 0.2g/l. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reporting CRAO after methanol poisoning. Our report under-scores the importance of early ophthalmic examination of patients with acute methanol poisoning and suggests that it could induce acute CRAO because of retinal artery vasospasm.

Interwar Culture

Interwar Culture from Adam Matthew is a rich and multidisciplinary resource bringing together numerous periodicals from the interwar period (1919‐1939) and covering a wide range of topics such as fashion, entertainment, home and family life, the women's movement, and children's literature. The collection consists of two modules: one covering the 1920s (which has been released) and another covering the 1930s (which is coming soon, presumably by 2023). Module 1 contains thousands of individual periodical issues from 27 different titles, ranging from the familiar (The Strand, Homes & Gardens) to the less familiar and, in many cases, previously unavailable online (Peg's Paper, Chums). Content ranges from highbrow fashion magazines like Art, Goût, Beauté, and Femina to low-priced homemaking titles such as Woman's Home Companion to children's publications such as The Modern Boy and The Schoolgirls’ Weekly. The collection also includes distinctive titles such as The National Advocate, purportedly the United States’ oldest temperance publication; The Labour Woman and Woman's Weekly, publications aimed specifically at working women; and Time and Tide, a uniquely female-produced publication covering politics and culture. Theatre Magazine, known for its sumptuous color photographs, is another standout title in the collection. The interwar period was a time of great cultural change and technological innovation, and the evolution of entertainment, culture, and fashion can be traced in various ways in the pages of these periodicals. With many of the included titles targeting women in particular, these periodicals helped define as well as record the changing ideas and fashions of this era, such as the move away from Victorian ideals to the more practical ideas and fashions of the flapper generation and the burgeoning world of working women. Boasting visually crisp and clear images from the pages of the original publications and a user-friendly search/browse interface, Interwar Culture has much to offer researchers across numerous disciplines as well as casual users simply interested in the significant and tumultuous years of the 1920s and 1930s.

Inhibitory control moderates the association between fear and attention bias to snakes in middle childhood

Fear and inhibitory control interact to affect the attention allocated to threats in clinically anxious populations. We examined whether fear and inhibitory control impact attention bias to threat in a community sample of 6- to 8-year-old children (n = 102). A visual search task used color photographs of snakes and caterpillars as targets and flowers as the distractors. Parents completed questionnaires about their child’s fear and inhibitory control. Results showed that the children exhibited an attentional bias to snakes. Child fear predicted for the attention bias, whereas fear and inhibitory control interacted to predict attention bias. Simple slopes analysis showed the association between fear and attention bias was significant only for children who had high inhibitory control and not significant for those who had low inhibitory control. Models of child anxiety focus on links between fear and inhibitory control; our work extends the occurrence of this phenomena to community, non-clinical populations. • Child fear was positively related to attention bias to snakes 6-to-8-year-olds. • Fear predicted the attention bias only for children with high inhibitory control. • Findings extend models of inhibitory control and fear to non-clinical populations.

First record of Chlorophorus jucundus (Perroud, 1855) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) from Maharashtra, India

The beetle Chlorophorus jucundus (Perroud, 1855) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is being reported for the first time from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India, which is part of the northern Western Ghats. This communication briefly describes the species with colour photographs showing important diagnostic characters.

The forger's identikit: A multi-technique characterization of Pippo Oriani's fake paintings

This work is part of a multi-disciplinary study aimed at creating the first scientific database to support the future authentication of paintings on the art market. In particular, five fake paintings attributed to the Italian painter Pippo Oriani (1909–1972) have been characterized. Since no scientific literature concerning the material composition used by the artist is available, the five paintings were studied with a multi-technique approach aiming at better understanding the forgery process. The obtained results can be used in the future as a first step to support the authentication of Oriani's artworks on the art market. In particular, it allows to evaluate the consistency of data obtained from future scientific investigations on Oriani's artwork with the forgery process reported in the present database. Non-invasive diagnostic tools, such as UV imaging, IR and IR-false colour photography, XRF, μ-Raman and FTIR spectroscopies have been used to fully characterize the fake paintings. The combination of these techniques led to obtaining useful information on the support preparation method, the pictorial materials, and the execution technique of the artist/forger(s).A wide range of inorganic pigments and organic dyes have been detected, together with the use of oil and wax as binders. The results revealed a strong similarity among the different paintings, thus supporting the idea that the forger(s) knew very well the original Oriani's pictorial technique.The detailed identification of all the materials used in the forgery process for Oriani's fake paintings will help to support the authentication of other ambiguous paintings in future cases.

Deep learning and optical coherence tomography in glaucoma: Bridging the diagnostic gap on structural imaging.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of progressive blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Microstructural evidence of glaucomatous damage to the optic nerve head and associated tissues can be visualized using optical coherence tomography (OCT). In recent years, development of novel deep learning (DL) algorithms has led to innovative advances and improvements in automated detection of glaucomatous damage and progression on OCT imaging. DL algorithms have also been trained utilizing OCT data to improve detection of glaucomatous damage on fundus photography, thus improving the potential utility of color photos which can be more easily collected in a wider range of clinical and screening settings. This review highlights ten years of contributions to glaucoma detection through advances in deep learning models trained utilizing OCT structural data and posits future directions for translation of these discoveries into the field of aging and the basic sciences.

The Transregional Illustrated Magazine Al-Arabi

Abstract This article investigates the transregional cultural magazine Al-Arabi (al-‘Arabi) during the late 1950s and 1960s under its first editor, the Egyptian scientist Ahmad Zaki. Founded in Kuwait, the magazine’s establishment and sociocultural-political agenda are reconstructed within the context of Kuwait’s cultural diplomacy and pan-Arabism during decolonization and early Cold War politics. Al-Arabi offered timely discussions on Arab cities, gender, literature, politics and science, and readily embraced color photography for illustrations as a way of stimulating transnational understanding during times of substantial change in the region. Consequently, an analysis of Al-Arabi provides insights into historical strategies for re-imagining the region from within. Overall, the magazine can be situated in a long-standing tradition of Arab printing and publishing, while also forming part of a global illustrated magazine culture. Using a transdisciplinary approach, the article combines archival research and interviews with the media-historical and art-historical analyses of text, image and graphic design.

Curcuma lampangensis and C. sabhasrii, two new species of the family Zingiberaceae from northern Thailand

Abstract. Rakarcha S, Saensouk S, Maknoi C, Wongnak M, Thammarong W, Saensouk P. 2022. Curcuma lampangensis and C. sabhasrii, two new species of the family Zingiberaceae from northern Thailand. Biodiversitas 23: 4448-4459. Curcuma lampangensis Saensouk, Maknoi & Rakarcha and C. sabhasrii Saensouk, Maknoi, Wongnak & Rakarcha, two new species of ginger family (Zingiberaceae) from northern Thailand, are described, illustrated and photographed. Additionally, the authors provide their detailed morphological descriptions, as well as illustrations, color photographs, distributions, ecology, etymology, phenology, vernacular, conservation status and its closely related species. The two new species are assignable to the Curcuma subgenus Ecomatae. Curcuma lampangensis and C. sabhasrii are endemic to Lampang and Phitsanulok provinces of northern Thailand, respectively. The morphological characteristics of C. lampangensis are compared to C. rhomba J. Mood & K. Larsen while C. sabhasrii is compared to C. peramoena Souvann. & Maknoi. Curcuma lampangensis is recognized by its glabrous on nearly all parts of the plant, creeping rhizome and the inflorescence usually arises from a new rhizome branch next to the existing pseudostem, flowers that are white to pale pink and white to pale yellow labellum with 2 dark yellow bands at the center and reddish tinge at the base. Curcuma sabhasrii is recognized by having 8-15 greenish to reddish-purple bracts, reddish-purple corolla lobes, white with reddish-purple mottling to reddish-purple staminodes and labellum which is reddish-purple with an embossed yellow path along the midrib from base to apex and reddish-purple mottling on yellow mid-band of lower half. A key to 24 species of Curcuma subgenus Ecomatae in Thailand is presented.

The Convent of Pleasure by Hannah Cowley

Reviewed by: The Convent of Pleasure by Hannah Cowley Angelina Del Balzo Hannah Cowley The Convent of Pleasure. ERRATA An online reading presented by Red Bull Theater in New York, NY in collaboration with R/18 Collaborative, presented live and recorded on Zoom on March 14, 2022 and available on Video On Demand from March 14–18, 2022. Directed by Kim Weild. With Heidi Armbruster (Madame Mediator), Becca Ayers (Servant to Lady Happy/M. Facil), Talley Gale (Lady Virtue/M. Advisor), Cloteal Horne (Lady Happy), Anthony Michael Martinez (Take Pleasure/Ambassador), Rami Margron (Princess/Prince), Maria-Christina Oliveras (Lady Amorous/M. Courtly), and Josh Tyson (Dick/Mimic). Program Notes by Liza Blake (University of Toronto). Even as theaters in North America are beginning to resume traditional live and in-person programming, Zoom theater has not gone away, and there are signs that online staged readings and productions will continue with more frequency and higher professionalism than before the pandemic. Red Bull Theater, a New York company that specializes in performing lesser-known classic drama, continues its robust programming of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century drama by women from the last two years, productions that have included benefit readings of Frances Burney's The Woman-Hater and Hannah Cowley's The Belle's Stratagem (reviewed in Eighteenth-Century Studies 54.4, Summer 2021), now joined by Margaret Cavendish's closet drama The Convent of Pleasure. The March 2022 production embraced Cavendish's experimental approach to dramatic form as well as the play's inventive depiction of gender presentation and desire. This production of The Convent of Pleasure, presented in collaboration with the R/18 Collective, a group of eighteenth-century theater scholars dedicated to "re-activating Restoration and eighteenth-century theatre for the twenty-first century,"1 is one of the most high-profile productions of the group since its founding in 2019. As universities are more than ever emphasizing public engagement, the R/18 Collective suggests one effective possibility open to theater scholars. Liza Blake, [End Page 125] co-director of the Digital Cavendish Project, served as the primary interlocutor for this iteration of Red Bull's usual robust supporting programming. In addition to providing the program notes, Blake introduced the form and content of the play to its nonacademic audience in a five-minute video introduction with director Kim Weild that related Cavendish's dramatic work with that of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, two frequently staged dramatists at Red Bull. Blake highlighted Cavendish's thematic exploration of the seeming difference between the natural and the unnatural, a focus of the plot and of the play's metatheatrical conventions. This production was also publicized by a panel discussion, "The Closet or the Stage? A Conversation about Margaret Cavendish's The Convent of Pleasure," that was hosted by the R/18 Collective a week before the live performance, at which Misty G. Anderson, Liza Blake, Julie Crawford, and Kristina Straub explained matters including the eighteenth-century "closet" and its relationship to the public stage, Cavendish's Royalist circles, and women playwrights after Cavendish. (Anderson also served as the production's uncredited dramaturg.) The format of the panel and the energy and insight with which the panelists conversed resulted in a lively post-panel Q&A, exemplifying successful engagement beyond the academy with eighteenth-century drama and encouraging future readings and future productions. In her pre-show conversation with the audience, director Kim Weild emphasized the ways that Cavendish pushed drama forward as a genre, and the production emphasized this innovation by creatively making the most of the Zoom format. The opening minutes of the play, in which Lady Happy's suitors bemoan their unsuccessful attempts to woo various women, were projected in black and white, with background images from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century prints. As Lady Happy began to describe the appearance of the convent through the seasons, the screen changed to color, as when Dorothy steps into the technicolor world of Oz, and the interior backgrounds became colorful photographs from seventeenthcentury palaces such as Versailles. The production did not return to the colorless landscape of the play's opening, subtly pushing the audience to register that the play's conclusion in...

“Radical Empathy” in City of Incurable Women: A Conversation with Laura Larson

“Radical Empathy” in City of Incurable WomenA Conversation with Laura Larson Renee H. Shea (bio) In City of Incurable Women (Saint Lucy Books, 2022), Laura Larson continues her study of nineteenth-century photography, this time through responses to Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, founded in 1656. She focuses on the late 1800s when Jean-Martin Charcot, then director of the hospital, photographed women diagnosed with hysteria. In her book of visual and written texts, Larson explores the depiction of four patients in the hospital (Blanche, Genevieve, Augustine, and Jane) as she reimagines them through the perspective of a contemporary political climate that seeks to control women’s bodies—and resistance to that climate. “I want a liquid chronicle of La Salpêtrière,” she writes, “a volatile flow of chemistry detonating then and now.” Her reflections interrogate the limitations and possibilities of photography as objective documentation, memory, and witness. Click for larger view View full resolution LAURA LARSON, AUGUSTINE’S ESCAPE, DIGITAL COLOR PHOTOGRAPH, 2019 Larson has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including in the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Wexner Center for the Arts, and Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. Her first book, Hidden Mother (2017), was shortlisted by Aperture/Paris Photo for the Best First Photobook Award. She holds a BA from Oberlin College and an MFA from Rutgers University. Professor emerita at Ohio University, Larson is currently visiting faculty with the Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA program in visual arts. Renee Shea: City of Incurable Women includes archival photographs from the Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière, published between 1876 and 1880 as a medical reference book, interwoven with writings from Charcot, other historical texts, your own photographs, and your lyrical written responses. How did this project begin and evolve? Laura Larson: The book started at a very basic level for me of looking at the photographs produced at Salpêtrière under the directorship of Charcot. The arc of my work for almost twenty years has been an engagement with nineteenth-century vernacular photographic forms. I was thinking about how I can look back at these different histories and make work in dialogue with it, not in a fetishistic or nostalgic way, but an investigation inspired by Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida of the essential character of the medium, specifically from a feminist perspective. There’s incredible scholarship [End Page 45] and creative work on these photographs, but I was interested in how to respond to them in the present. I was making my photographs during the Trump administration, when language about women being out of control or in need of control was commonplace. I was trying to think through this notion of hysteria and hysterical women in relationship to this history. I wasn’t able to do archival research at Salpêtrière, but I went to Paris twice: to spend time on the grounds of the hospital, to think of how these women were moving in those spaces, and to visit other psychiatric institutions. The photographs I made in Paris are a way to bring these histories into the present. The production of my own work began in earnest in 2017. With the pandemic, things changed—I couldn’t work with groups of people in the studio, so there was an artificially imposed stopping point when I had to evaluate where I was and see if I had the material I needed to put the book together. This was when I started writing. I wrote almost all of those texts within two months, which is unusual for me since I’m a very slow writer! Initially, the project began as a collaboration with writer Maud Casey, responding to the photographs and case histories and exchanging our work for further response. Our concerns took us in different directions. Maud published her stories with Bellevue Press this year. I wanted to build a different context—a hybrid work—that looped the archival, the contemporary, and my presence as an interlocutor of this history. Shea: I’m fascinated by what seems to be your initial entry into this project: that the photography of the era...

Древняя живопись грота Шахты в аспекте развитития методики исследования (по архивным материалам В. А. Ранова и современным данным)

The article discusses the rock images of the Shakhty rock shelter. The authors’ archival research in 2021 and 2022 revealed field diaries, photographs and colour photo slides of V. A. Ranov, who was the first to find the site, in the archive of A. Donish Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan. The combination of evidence obtained from these sources, and a modern examination of panels with images, made it possible to shed light on the method of recording the murals of the rock shelter in 1958. The rerecording of these images in 2019 and DStretch colour filtering of the obtained photographs made it possible to refine the contours and details of some images that are important for the attribution and subsequent interpretation of individual images. The authors assume that murals of the Shakhty rock shelter were not all created at the same time, as suggested by V. A. Ranov, dating them from the Mesolithic — early Neolithic. The presence of paint of different shades, varying degree of preservation of the shelter murals, numerous palimpsests and refined details of the images on the rock give the grounds suggest different times of their creation. Based on the results of modern research, the images of the Shakhty rock shelter can be dated from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age.

A new large-flowered Cyrtochilum (Oncidiinae) from Colombia, named in honor of an esteemed taxonomist

A new and previously little-known Cyrtochilum (Orchidaceae: Oncidiinae), is named in honor and in memory of Leonore Bockemühl, who published a monographic treatment of Odontoglossum in 1989, which included many species that subsequently were transferred to Cyrtochilum based on molecular evidence. One of these species that was included in her treatment as “Odontoglossum leucopterum” is in fact an undescribed Cyrtochilum and is described here. The real “Odontoglossum leucopterum”, which was transferred to Cyrtochilum in 2001, has proven to be quite elusive since its original description. It was only recently photographed in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, its only known location, and photos of this rare orchid are featured here for the first time. The new Cyrtochilum is described, illustrated and compared with closely related Cyrtochilum species which are featured with line drawings and color photographs to illustrate the differences.

Two newly recorded species of the genera, Chamaemyces and Hodophilus, from Turkey

Two rare species of the genera Chamaemyces and Hodophilus, Chamaemyces fracidus and Hodophilus tenuicystidiatus, are described as new records from Aegean part of Turkey. The phylogenetic placement of C. fracidus and H. tenuicystidiatus are investigated based on multi‐gene molecular analyses containing nrITS and nrLSU data sets. Results indicate that collections for the two species formed separate lineages in the Chamaemyces and Hodophilus clades respectively. Detailed description of the morphological characters, line drawings of micromorphological features, color photographs, ecological preferences are provided and species delimitation are supported with phylogenetic analyses.

Massaria broussonetiae sp. nov. and M. racemosae sp. nov. (Massariaceae, Pleosporales) on moraceous hosts

Massaria species are well-known in temperate regions in contrast to tropical regions. Taxonomy and phylogeny of two new Massaria species are carried out in this study as a part of our major research interests in microfungal diversity and distribution in Asia. In 2018–2019, we collected two fungal collections similar to Massaria from China and Thailand. Based on distinct morphology, multigene phylogeny, and host data, we introduce two new species, Massaria broussonetiae on Broussonetia sp. and M. racemosae on Ficus racemosa. Full descriptions, colour photo plates and a phylogenetic tree to show the placement of new species are provided.

Coprinus leucostictus Rediscovered after a Century, Epitypified, and Its Generic Position in Hausknechtia Resolved by Multigene Phylogenetic Analysis of Psathyrellaceae

About a century after the first finding in northern Vietnam (1908), Coprinus leucostictus is rediscovered on 12 localities in southern India and southern to southeastern China, growing in evergreen subtropical or tropical forests. It is morphologically a rather unique species with coprinoid basidiomata, strongly branched and diverticulate veil hyphae, and a hymeniderm pileipellis. The BLAST search of ITS and tef-1α sequences showed its close relationship to Hausknechtia floriformis, which is not clear based on morphological characters. Multigene phylogenetic analysis of a concatenated dataset of ITS, LSU, tef-1α, and β-tubulin sequences, revealed C. leucostictus and H. floriformis as separate, but sister species. Molecular phylogenetic relationships within the family Psathyrellaceae (including 17 genera) are presented in the phylogram. The genera Hausknechtia and Candolleomyces formed two well-supported lineages and were recovered as a monophyletic group. A total of 27 sequences from the genus Hausknechtia were newly generated in this study. Coprinus leucostictus is combined as Hausknechtia leucosticta, its epitype is designated, and the hitherto monotypic genus Hausknechtia is emended. A detailed morphological description of H. leucosticta supplemented with colour photographs and line drawings is provided.
