The type specimens of beetles (Coleoptera) of the families Scolytidae and Platypodidae, preserved in the Museum and Institute of Zoology Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, are listed. Key words: Type specimens, Coleoptera, Scolytidae. Platypodidae. The following list includes all the type specimens of the nominal species and subspecies, and the varieties and forms, the names of which were established before 1961 (Art. 45g, 71 of the International Code on Zoological Nomenclature, 3rd ed., 1985), preserved in the Museum and Institute of Zoology Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw (MZPW - Museum Zoologicum Polonicum, Warszawa). Type specimens listed'belong to the following categories: name-bearing types (holotype, lectotype, neo­ type, syntype series); remaining specimens of type series (paratypes, paralectotypes). The specimens included in the list are individually numbered and labeled for an inventory purposes. All specimens have two museum registration labels attached. One of them is white and bear the inscription in print "Mus. Zool. Polonicum Warszawa [accession No]", the second one is red with the following inscription in print: "Mus. Zool. Polonicum Warszawa Typus n. [museum type number] [original name, author and year] [kind of the type]". The list is arranged alphabetically by genera and species according to the names in original descriptions. The species name is followed by the author bibliographic citation. Next follows the kind of the type and its original locality label in quotation marks. If the label does not include country, continent or other major geographic name that was recorded in the original publication, it is added after the label in [...]. The list is based on the specimens found in our collection, and it may not include all "types". This may happened because some specimens from old collections were not labeled clearly as types, and only detailed Address for correspondence: Piotr Węgrzynowicz, Museum and Institute of Zoology of PAS, Wilcza 64, 00-679 Warsaw, Poland E-mail: [email protected] http://rcin.org.pl 54 • P. Węgrzynowicz, T. Mokrzycki studies of pertinent specialists may reveal their status. It also does not list species that appear to be MS- names, and which descriptions could not be located, nor specimens that the label-locality does not correspond to the original citation. When possible every potential type specimen was checked against the original description to confirm its status and reliability. All the data published in the lists and some others are being simultaneously recorded in a computer data base in the Zoological Museum, and potential borrowers of the specimens may refer both to the name and to the number ot particular specimen they want to borrow for study.

  • Glocalized Telenovelas and National Identities A
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography Glocalized telenovelas and national identities A ‘textual cum production’ analysis of the ‘telenovelle’ Sara, the Flemish adaptation of Yo soy Betty, la fea Fien Adriaens & Daniel Biltereyst Abstract This article examines the globalization of the telenovela format in relation to issues of adaptation, proximities and national identities. As a case study of glocalized telenovelas, it deals with the domestic adaptation of one of the most popular Latin American telenovelas, Yo soy Betty, la fea (1999-2001) into the „telenovelle‟ Sara (2007-08), which takes place in a Belgian (more specifically Flemish) context. Therefore, this article specifically asks how Flemish identities are represented through the production process of Sara. While examining the international flow of telenovelas and the cross-cultural adaptation of the telenovela format, this case study considers an additional geopolitical and cultural context, as well as confronts and combines thematic textual analysis with expert interviews. Considering the successful export of „canned‟ telenovelas and the adaptation of this format within the framework of national identity and identification, this paper deals with the emergence of the „telenovelle‟ as a local genre that is inspired by, and modifies, the Latin American original format. 1 Introduction This article focuses on the globalization of the telenovela format in relation to issues of adaptation and national identities. It deals with the question of how the telenovela format is successfully adapted to regions outside Latin America, particularly in Western Europe. Since a television format‟s success is closely tied to the local and national culture, and domestic television programs play a crucial role in the construction and reproduction of national identities (Biltereyst, 1991; Straubhaar, 1991; Waisbord, 2004), we question whether and how national identities are represented through production decisions in the creation process.

  • ‧ 國 立 政 治 大 學 ‧ Introduction
    I Introduction During 2007/08 the Argentinean comic telenovela “La Lola” was sold to 50 countries, including the United States, a very impressive number of sales for only one TV format. This sale to the US market solidified the presence of Argentinean products in the USA, which only started 政 治 to buy these Argentinean products in 2006 (Zucchi, 2008). 大With these purchases, American TV 立 channels CBS, FOX and ABC open a new market for Argentina學 s’ audiovisual industry, as 國 Argentinean products, mostly telenovelas, have been traditionally ‧ commercialized mostly in ‧ South America and EuropeanN markets (Miracle Screenings, 2007). a y t t i Other than the quality ofi Argentinean TV products, the purchasess can be linked to external o r n e a i v factors like the script writers' strikel inC the United States (Zucchi,n 2008). Nevertheless, this is a hengchi U very significant development that exemplifies the increasing presence of Latin America and Argentina as international TV contents suppliers. These sales also represent a significant breakthrough into a formerly unreachable market, and show how Argentinean exports are expanding their reach by capturing new audiences (Miracle Screenings, 2007). As explained in the online article “TV for export” (2008), the international trade of TV products can be divided in three categories, generally speaking: pre-recorded shows, TV formats, 1 and customized productions. The first one are those sold exactly as they were first produced for airing on local TV, except that they are either dubbed or subtitled into the destination mother tongue. The second implies selling the program’s idea, logistics and management so that it may be subsequently and entirely reproduced by the buyer.

[email protected] RESUMEN Las adaptaciones o remakes responden al éxito de determinados productos a nivel mundial, lo que incita a pensar en el creciente desarrollo de una cultura audiovisual cada vez más global. De esta forma, con el siguiente trabajo pretendemos analizar cuáles son las diferencias y las similitudes entre una serie de ficción extranjera y su adaptación en la televisión española, poniendo especial interés en averiguar cuáles son los elementos que sufren una mayor adaptación, así como de qué forma se modifican los guiones para conseguir un producto adecuado para el público español. Para ello, haremos un recorrido por las series de ficción adaptadas en España (en las cinco cadenas generalistas) en el periodo comprendido desde el año 2000 hasta 2013 a través de un análisis cualitativo en el que estudiaremos variables relacionadas con el contenido de los productos audiovisuales (características formales, personajes, cabecera, tramas, estética y diálogos) que nos permitan su comparación. 1 Belén Puebla Martínez: Profesora de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

  • The Russian Television Industry in the Global Age
    Moscow Goes Hollywood: The Russian Television Industry in the Global Age by Jeffrey R. Brassard A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Alberta © Jeffrey R. Brassard, 2017 Abstract This study examines ways that both authoritarian capitalism and global flows of culture have shaped the Russian television industry. This dissertation explores three main questions: How does the system of state-directed capitalism shape television production, particularly with regards to balancing propaganda and profit? What kinds of representations are possible on television in Russia under authoritarian capitalism? What is the relationship of the Russian television industry with other parts of the global media industry? To explore these questions, this dissertation examines the structure of the Russian television industry with particular attention given to the most important channels and production companies. In all cases, the relationship of these companies to both the Putin-led state and their level of integration with the global television marketplace is examined in-depth. Using a mix of semi-structured interviews with industry workers, analysis of industry trade journals, popular press and textual analysis, this dissertation examines four of the main television stations in the country all of whom have different relationships to the state. I argue that typical accounts of Russian media as merely serving the interests of the state are overly simplistic. The expectation that television channels or production companies linked to the ruling elite create programming that supports the Putin government’s nation-building efforts while commercial stations use their platforms to criticize the status-quo is shown to be erroneous.

  • Evaluation of the Importance and Magnitude of Agricultural Maintenance Research in the United
    Evaluation of the Importance and Magnitude of Agricultural Maintenance Research in the United States by Edward Opoku Adusei Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1Il Agricultural Economics APPROVED: Dr. George W. Norton, Co-chairman Dr. Bradf&'CJieaton, Co-chairman Dr. David E. Kenyon Dr. ~:pomas Jolmson October, 1987 Blacksburg, Virginia Evaluation of the Importance and Magnitude of Agricultural Maintenance Research in the United States by Edward Opoku Adusei Dr. George W. Norton, Co-chairman Dr. Brady J. Deaton, Co-chairman Agricultural Economics (ABSTRACT) The United States has invested substantial resources in agricultural research since the Morrill and the Hatch Acts. These investments have made American agriculture one of the most productive in the world. Several studies have evaluated U.S. agricultural re- search.
