Based on specimens collected in traps in North‐Eastern Italy, Cnestus mutilatus (Blandford, 1894), an ambrosia beetle native to Asia, is reported for the first time in Italy and in the European part ...of the EPPO region. A second species, Anisandrus maiche Kurentsov, 1941, is recorded for the first time in Italy and the third time in the European part of the EPPO region 14 and 12 years after the first detection in Ukraine and in European Russia, respectively. Both species are EU quarantine pests associated with the pathway of plants for planting and with wood material. Furthermore, they are polyphagous, able to reproduce on several genera of deciduous plants typical of temperate regions, and able to attack small diameter material and to colonize stressed and/or weakened plants. Surveillance based on traps and rearing from symptomatic material may help to assess the size and distribution of the beetle populations, the spread capability and to identify the most susceptible hosts.
Premier signalement du scolyte exotique Cnestus mutilatus et nouvelle découverte d'Anisandrus maiche dans la partie européenne de la région OEPP (Coleoptera : Curculionidae : Scolytinae : Xyleborini)
Cnestus mutilatus (Blandford, 1894), un scolyte originaire d'Asie, est signalé pour la première fois en Italie et dans la partie européenne de la région OEPP, sur la base de spécimens collectés dans des pièges dans le nord‐est de l'Italie. Une deuxième espèce, Anisandrus maiche Kurentsov, 1941, est signalée pour la première fois en Italie ; il s'agit du troisième signalement dans la partie européenne de la région OEPP, respectivement 14 et 12 ans après la première détection de celle ci, en Ukraine et en Russie occidentale. Ces deux espèces sont des organismes de quarantaine pour l'UE, associés à la filière des végétaux destinés à la plantation et à celle du bois. Elles sont par ailleurs polyphages, capables de se reproduire sur plusieurs genres de plantes à feuilles caduques typiques des régions tempérées ; elles sont également capables d'attaquer des plantes de petit diamètre et de coloniser des plantes stressées et/ou affaiblies. Un suivi, au moyen de pièges et d'élevage à partir matériel symptomatique, peut aider à évaluer la taille et la répartition géographique des populations de coléoptères, ainsi que leur capacité de dissémination et les plantes‐hôtes les plus sensibles.

Why were some countries able to build "developmental states" in the decades after World War II while others were not? Through a richly detailed examination of India's experience, Locked in Place ...argues that the critical factor was the reaction of domestic capitalists to the state-building project. During the 1950s and 1960s, India launched an extremely ambitious and highly regarded program of state-led development. But it soon became clear that the Indian state lacked the institutional capacity to carry out rapid industrialization. Drawing on newly available archival sources, Vivek Chibber mounts a forceful challenge to conventional arguments by showing that the insufficient state capacity stemmed mainly from Indian industrialists' massive campaign, in the years after Independence, against a strong developmental state.
Large-scale association studies that mainly involve European populations identified many genetic loci related to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, one of the most important ...indicators of the risk for cardiovascular diseases. The question with intense speculation of whether the effect estimates obtained from European populations for different HDL-C level-related SNPs are applicable to the Roma ethnicity, the largest minority group in Europe with a South Asian origin, was addressed in the present study.
The associations between 21 SNPs (in the genes LIPC(G), CETP, GALNT2, HMGCP, ABCA1, KCTD10 and WWOX) and HDL-C levels were examined separately in adults of the Hungarian general (N = 1542) and Roma (N = 646) populations by linear regression. Individual effects (direction and size) of single SNPs on HDL-C levels were computed and compared between the study groups and with data published in the literature.
Significant associations between SNPs and HDL-C levels were more frequently found in general subjects than in Roma subjects (11 SNPs in general vs. 4 SNPs in Roma). The CETP gene variants rs1532624, rs708272 and rs7499892 consistently showed significant associations with HDL-C levels across the study groups (p ˂ 0.05), indicating a possible causal variant(s) in this region.
Although nominally significant differences in effect size were found for three SNPs (rs693 in gene APOB, rs9989419 in gene CETP, and rs2548861 in gene WWOX) by comparing the general and Roma populations, most of these SNPs did not have a significant effect on HDL-C levels.
The β coefficients for SNPs in the Roma population were found to be identical both in direction and magnitude to the effect obtained previously in large-scale studies on European populations.
The effect of the vast majority of the SNPs on HDL-C levels could be replicated in the Hungarian general and Roma populations, which indicates that the effect size measurements obtained from the literature can be used for risk estimation for both populations.
•Transferability of HDL-C-related SNPs' effects obtained on Europeans was studied.•Significant difference from the European effect for Roma ethnicity was not detected.•Effect estimates obtained on populations with European origin are applicable to Roma.
As the forerunners of Indian modernization, the community of Bengali intellectuals known as the Brahmo Samaj played a crucial role in the genesis and development of every major religious, social, and ...political movement in India from 1820 to 1930. David Kopf launches a comprehensive generation- to-generation study of this group in order to understand the ideological foundations of the modern Indian mind. His book constitutes not only a biographical and a sociological study of the Brahmo Samaj, but also an intellectual history of modern India that ranges from the Unitarian social gospel of Rammohun Roy to Rabindranath Tagore's universal humanism and Jessie Bose's scientism.
From a variety of biographical sources, many of them in Bengali and never before used in research, the author makes available much valuable information. In his analysis of the interplay between the ideas, the consciousness, and the lives of these early rebels against the Hindu tradition, Professor Kopf reveals the subtle and intricate problems and issues that gradually shaped contemporary Indian consciousness. What emerges from this group portrait is a legacy of innovation and reform that introduced a rationalist tradition of thought, liberal political consciousness, and Indian nationalism, in addition to changing theology and ritual, marriage laws and customs, and the status of women.

This Open Access book builds on the experiences of one of the largest European projects in the domain of responsible Research and Innovation: NewHoRRIzon. It highlights the potential of and ...opportunity in responsible R&I to conduct innovation in a socially responsible way. Employing the methodology of Social Labs, the book analyses responsible R&I from an experience-based viewpoint and further explores the application of responsible R&I beyond scholarly and industrial interests. The contributors analyze the current European R&I landscape, provide reflection and reconceptualization of its core concepts, and project future challenges in relation to responsible R&I. The book complements the readers' line of work by providing insights on how responsible R&I can be applied by the audience, for example, in their decision-making processes.
The important role of liberal ecumenical Protestantism in American history The role of liberalized, ecumenical Protestantism in American history has too often been obscured by the more flamboyant and ...orthodox versions of the faith that oppose evolution, embrace narrow conceptions of family values, and continue to insist that the United States should be understood as a Christian nation. In this book, one of our preeminent scholars of American intellectual history examines how liberal Protestant thinkers struggled to embrace modernity, even at the cost of yielding much of the symbolic capital of Christianity to more conservative, evangelical communities of faith.If religion is not simply a private concern, but a potential basis for public policy and a national culture, does this mean that religious ideas can be subject to the same kind of robust public debate normally given to ideas about race, gender, and the economy? Or is there something special about religious ideas that invites a suspension of critical discussion? These essays, collected here for the first time, demonstrate that the critical discussion of religious ideas has been central to the process by which Protestantism has been liberalized throughout the history of the United States, and shed light on the complex relationship between religion and politics in contemporary American life. After Cloven Tongues of Fire brings together in one volume David Hollinger's most influential writings on ecumenical Protestantism. The book features an informative general introduction as well as concise introductions to each essay.
In this article, I discuss the challenges ethnically non-Burman activists in Myanmar encounter in articulating a politics of Indigeneity in the face of Myanmar's post/neo-colonial policies and ...discourse of national unity and equality. I highlight the limitations and potentials of efforts to reframe the global concept of Indigeneity in a non-European settler colonial context where the state dismisses that concept by declaring all its citizens "indigenous". I argue that Indigenous activists in Myanmar are caught in a particular kind of double bind that makes it difficult to make any claim of distinction as "Indigenous Peoples" relative to dominant ethnic Burmans.
