ASHY-HEADED LAUGHINGTHRUSH Garrulax cinereifrons Critical — Endangered — Vulnerable B1+2a,b,c,d,e; C1 This species has a small, declining population and range, which is also severely fragmented, as a result of clearance and degradation of its humid forest habitat. These factors qualify it as Vulnerable. DISTRIBUTION The Ashy-headed Laughingthrush is found in the lowland rainforests of the wet zone in south-west Sri Lanka, and at up to c.1,500 m on the southern and western aspects of the central mountains, in the lower montane forests of the hill zone. Its forest habitat is now fragmented within its small range (see Threats). Records (arranged approximately from north to south) are as follows: ■ SRI LANKA Kurunegala district, undated (Legge 1880); Puswella (Pusilwella), December 1865 (three specimens in BMNH); Galagedera (Gallagedara), February 1872 (specimen in BMNH); Kandy, undated (Hume 1878c); Deltota district, undated (Legge 1880); Punduloya, July 1882 (female in AMNH), July 1894 (three specimens in AMNH, BMNH and SMF), June 1895 (female in AMNH); Kitulgala, at Kitulgala resthouse, undated (Ranasinghe 1982), one, February 1981 (Mulford 1990); Nuwara Eliya, undated (Legge 1880); Avissawella (Awisavella), December 1865 (female in BMNH); Ikkadi Barawe Forest, 29 km from Colombo, February 1877 (Legge 1880, three specimens in BMNH); Thotupolakanda, above 2,300 m, pair, August (unspecified year) (Ceylon Bird Club News August 1987); Kelani valley, probable sight records, undated (Berlioz 1964); Palabaddala (Pallabaddoola Peak Range), undated (Layard 1853–1854); Peak Forests, now in the Peak Wilderness Sanctuary, Sabaragamuwa province, undated (Legge 1880), up to 1,500 m, 1890s (Lewis 1898); Rygamkorale, June 1895 (two specimens in AMNH and MCZ); Kuruwiti (Kuruwiti Korah Forests), Sabaragamuwa province, 1890s (Lewis 1898); Gilimale, April 1866 (two specimens in AMNH, BMNH); Kalu Ganga river, c.65 km inland from Kalatura, several specimens collected, undated (Layard 1853–1854); Gilimale-Eratne, one, 1991–1996 (IUCN/WCMC 1997); Bambarabotuwa, one, 1991–1996 (IUCN/WCMC 1997); Bolgoda, August 1894 (two specimens in MCZ); lower Bulatgama, Sabaragamuwa province, undated (Lewis 1898); Balangoda, February 1906 (female in USNM), c.1945 (Ripley 1946); Pettiyagalla (Petragalla), Balangoda, undated (Abdulali 1968–1996); Kaluweakella, Pelmadulla, August 1944 (male in USNM; also Ripley 1946); Kukal Korale (Kukkul Korale), undated (Legge 1880); Pasdun Korale, undated (Legge 1880); Karawita, one, 1991–1996 (IUCN/WCMC 1997); Morapitiya (Moupitiya), including Morapitiya Forest Reserve, August 1876 (male in BMNH), three flocks, March 1984 (Ceylon Bird Club News March 1984), pair nesting, March 1984, 10 birds, December 1987 (Ceylon Bird Club News December 1987); Badureliya, 70 km south-east of Colombo, under 50 m, November 1944 (Ripley 1946, male in USNM); Delwala, 20 sightings, July–September 1997 (Jones et al. 1998); Kudumiriya, 52 sightings, September 1997 (Jones et al. 1998); Rakwana, April 1929 (male in BMNH), c.1945 (Ripley 1946); Walankanda Forest Reserve, 24 sightings, August–September 1997 (Jones et al. 1998); Depedene estate, Rakwana, 750 m, September 1944 (Ripley 1946, five specimens in USNM); Sinharaja Forest Reserve, many records from before 1880 (Legge 1880) to January 1998 (P.

Weerakoon in litt. 2000); Dellawa, one, 1991–1996 (IUCN/WCMC 1997); Diyadawa, one, 2061 Threatened birds of Asia SRI LANKA 1 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 9 10 8 11 14 12 13 17 15 20 16 19 18 21 24 23 26 25 27 22 30 28 29 33 32 31 35 34 36 37 38 I N D I A N O C E A N 2062 Garrulax cinereifrons 1991–1996 (IUCN/WCMC 1997); Batahena (untraced), one, 1991–1996 (IUCN/WCMC 1997). POPULATION There is little information on the population of this species, which has been recorded in small numbers at many sites (see Distribution). In the late nineteenth century it was “found sparingly” (Legge 1880), and in the mid-twentieth century it was considered “moderately plentiful” (Phillips 1953), indicating that it was never very abundant. Since then, it is likely to have declined significantly because of the reduction and fragmentation of the wet-zone forests that it inhabits (see Threats), and it has recently been described as “scarce” (Ranasinghe 1982) and “rare” (Kotagama and Fernando 1994). In three wet-zone lowland forests surveyed in 1997 it was well distributed throughout areas of undisturbed forest at all sites, but was always found at low densities (Jones et al. 1998). Monospecific flocks encountered by Legge (1880) and Lewis (1898) contained 10–20 individuals, but those found by Jones et al. (1998) contained no more than six. During a major survey of over 200 forest sites in Sri Lanka in 1991–1996, this species was recorded in only six forests (IUCN/WCMC 1997). Given its small range and the reduction in the area of its habitat, it is unlikely that it currently numbers more than a few thousand individuals. ECOLOGY Habitat This species is confined to relatively undisturbed areas of dense humid forest, at altitudes of up to at least c.1,520 m (Baker 1922–1930, Henry 1955).

  • The Cretaceous Corals from the Bisbee Group (Sonora; Late Barremian - Early Albian): Solenocoeniidae
    Cretaceous corals from the Bisbee Group 13 Paleontología Mexicana Volumen 4, núm. 2, 2015, p. 13-24 The Cretaceous corals from the Bisbee Group (Sonora; Late Barremian - Early Albian): Solenocoeniidae Hannes Lösera,* a Instituto de Geología, Estación Regional del Noroeste, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Blvd. L. D. Colosio S/N y Madrid, Col. Los Arcos, 83250 Hermosillo, Sonora, México. * [email protected] Abstract The current work constitutes the third part of the systematic revision about the corals from the Bisbee Group (Late Barremian to Early Albian) and deals with the Solenocoeniidae. This family taxon is applied instead of the poorly defined Cyathophoridae. The family has three genera in the Cretaceous of Sonora: Confusaforma, Cryptocoenia, and Cyathophoropsis. To distinguish samples within the Sonoran fauna and species of this genus, systematic measurements of the corals were taken and statistically analysed. From the Bisbee Group, two Confusaforma, six Cryptocoenia, and one Cyathophoropsis species are here described and illustrated. Most are common Early Cretaceous species with a wide geographic and stratigraphic distribution. Keywords: corals, Scleractinia, Early Cretaceous, Bisbee Group. Resumen El presente trabajo constituye la tercera parte de la revisión sistemática de los corales del Grupo Bisbee (Barremiano temprano a Aptiano tardío), la cual trata sobre la familia Solenocoeniidae, que se ha aplicado en lugar de la familia Cyathophoridae la cual se encuentra mal definida. La familia tiene tres géneros en el Cretácico de Sonora: Confusaforma, Cryptocoenia y Cyathophoropsis. Para distinguir las muestras dentro de la fauna y las especies del género se hicieron mediciones sistemáticas de los corales y se analizaron estadísticamente.

  • Care Robots for an Over-Aging Society: a Technical Solution for Japan’S Demographic Problem?
    Care Robots for an Over-Aging Society: A Technical Solution for Japan’s Demographic Problem? Martin RATHMANN ([email protected]) Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in a Global Context”, Heidelberg University Abstract Japan has the world's longest life expectancy and highest proportion of older people in its population. As a result, the delivery of old-age care is becoming an urgent and high priority issue for the Japanese government. There is a high demand for care within a society whose population is constantly aging, and within this discrepancy, we have to somehow find a balance. Since the fertility and immigration rates are too low to compensate for the labor shortage, other solutions have to be found for providing care and for sustaining economic power. Japan is known for being a technology-loving country. Since the Meiji restoration (1868-1912), change has been connected with technology. During the period of rapid economic growth, the labor shortage was mainly compensated for by the implementation of industrial robots. There seems to be a positive relationship to technology that goes so far back that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is considering robotics as a possible technical solution for Japan’s social and economic problems that emerged from its demographic transition. After having a closer look at the origins of robots and their cultural embedment in Japan, there will be an examination of robot development for home usage, health and old-age care. Taking a closer look on Japan’s robotic landscape will uncover a variety of developments, e.g.

EVALUATING MORALE 112 vn. SUDARY 137 BIBLIOGRAPHY 142 CHAPTER I THE TERM "MORALE" In American life morale ia a word which has come into general use only within the last several years. The word first appfared in titles of American periodical lit­ erature in 1918 toward the close of the first World War. In that year Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature listed two titles on morale, and in 1919 two more were listed. Then in t~~ period trom 1920 to 1940 o~ly ten articles on morale were listed. Yt can thus be seen that tor the two deoades following World War I the term was almost forgotten. With the outbreak of World War II, and especially in connection with the tall ot France, morale became an im­ portant word in American thinking, writing, and discussion. It appeared ~ billboard posters, in the daily papers, in . l . all kinds of advertising, in educational periodicals, in connection with industry, and in describing the condition of our armed forces at home and overseas, as well as con- ditions on the home front. Many committees were organized to promote morale in one torm or another. Ill 1942 alone, over 150 articles were listed under the heading of "morale" in Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature.
