Newsletter Editor: Yoichi Nakanishi Associate Editors: Yoshinosuke Fukuchi, David CL Lam, Suga Konno
Vol.30, No.1 (January 2021) Newsletter Editor: Yoichi Nakanishi Associate Editors: Yoshinosuke Fukuchi, David CL Lam, Suga Konno Message from the President A Happy New Year to all APSR members. Last year was a year of COVID-19. The APSR was also influenced by the disease, and the APSR 2020 Congress in Kyoto was postponed to 2021. I would express sincere appreciation to the Japanese Local Congress Committee team for their tremendous efforts to re-arrange the Congress, and also to the Korean Local Congress Committee team for their kind acceptance of postponement of the APSR Congress in Seoul to 2022. Under this difficult situation, we should not stagnate scientific progress and educational activities. We have held two COVID-19 webinars, three APSR virtual meetings, an ATS-APSR joint webinar, joint symposia with the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP), the Malaysian Thoracic Society (MTS) and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (TSPCCM). It is a great pleasure that many APSR members joined these web meetings and all of them were so successful. I am profoundly grateful to the Central Congress Committee members, Assembly members, presenters, facilitators, audiences, en bloc members, sponsors and the APSR secretariat office. The Asia-Pacific region has the biggest population in the world and is accomplishing rapid development, though it still has many health problems such as air pollution, tobacco smoking, respiratory infection including tuberculosis, and poor medical infrastructure. We are happy to have lots of projects to solve these problems. This year, we are going to further enhance our activities in order to achieve our objectives, i.e., “The advancement and promotion of knowledge of the respiratory system in health and disease, which strives to encourage research, improve clinical practice through teaching, increase awareness of health problems in the area and promote the exchange of knowledge among respirologists in the Asia-Pacific region”. -
Are Tits Really Unsuitable Hosts for the Common Cuckoo?
Ornis Fennica 91:0000. 2014 Are tits really unsuitable hosts for the Common Cuckoo? Tomá Grim*, Peter Sama, Petr Procházka & Jarkko Rutila T. Grim & P.

Rutila, Kannelkatu 5 as 26, 53100 Lappeenranta, Finland Received 19 January 2014, accepted 18 March 2014 Avian brood parasites exploit hosts that have accessible nests and a soft insect diet. Com- mon Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) hosts were traditionally classified as suitable if both pa- rameters were fulfilled or unsuitable if one, or both, were not. In line with this view, hole- nesting tits (Paridae) have become a text-book example of unsuitable Cuckoo hosts. Our extensive literature search for Cuckoo eggs hatched and chicks raised by hosts revealed 16 Cuckoo nestlings in Great Tit (Parus major) nests, 2 nestlings and 2 fledglings in Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), and 1 nestling in a Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus)nest. Our own data from natural observations and cross-fostering experiments concur with lit- erature data that Great Tits are able to rear Cuckoo chicks to fledging. The natural obser- vations involve the first known cases where a bird species became parasitized as a by- product of nest usurpation (take-over). Surprisingly, Cuckoo chicks raised by Great Tits grew better than Cuckoo chicks raised by common hosts, even alongside host own chicks. -

Anthropology 513 Bioarchaeology Seminar Instructor: Dr. Corey Ragsdale Office: Social Science 217 Email: [email protected] Office hours: TR 2:00 to 3:30 Course Description Bioarchaeology allows us to ‘people’ the past. To do this, bioarchaeologists follow two general rules of thumb. First, they contextualize human remains in physical space, cultural milieu, and pre-historic time. That is, skeletonized and mummified bodies are never examined without also considering their associated archaeological materials. Second, bioarchaeologists regard ancient bodies as bio-cultural phenomena. Human biology is impacted directly by culture, and vice versa. With these two ideas in hand, we will explore bioarchaeology’s history, development, major topical concerns, and debates. We will also engage critically with categories and assumptions about race, sex/gender, age, ethnicity, disease and disability, violence, and body parts. To conclude the semester, we will reflect upon bioarchaeology’s relevance in contemporary politics. -

(2019) Crown rust fungi with short lifecy- cles – the Puccinia mesnieriana species complex. – Sydowia 71: 47–63. The short lifecycle rust species Puccinia mesnieriana produces telia and teliospores on buckthorns (Rhamnus spp.) that are similar to those produced by the crown rust fungi (Puccinia series Coronata) on oats and grasses. The morphological similarity of these fungi led to hypotheses of their close relationship as correlated species. Phylogenetic analyses based on ITS2 and partial 28S nrDNA regions and the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) revealed that P. mesnieriana was a species complex comprising four lineages within P. ser. Coronata. Each lineage was recognized as a distinct species with differentiating morphological char- acteristics, host associations and geographic distribution. Puccinia mesnieriana was restricted to a single specimen from Portu- gal that was morphologically similar to and shared the same provenance as the type specimen of the species, which was not se- quenced. -
A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research
sustainability Review A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research Ying Lu * and Walter Timo de Vries Chair of Land Management, Department of Aerospace and Geodesy, Technical University of Munich (TUM), 80333 Munich, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Rural development research integrates numerous theoretical and empirical studies and has evolved over the past few decades. However, few systematic literature reviews have explored the changing landscape. This study aims to obtain an overview of rural development research by applying a bibliometric and visual analysis. In this paper, we introduce four computer-based software tools, including HistCite™, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Map and Alluvial Generator, to help with data collection, data analysis, and visualization. The dataset consists of 6968 articles of rural development research, which were downloaded from the database Web of Science. The period covers 1957 to 2020 and the analysis units include journals, categories, authors, references, and keywords. Co-occurrence and co-citation analysis are conducted, and the results are exported in the format of networks. We analyze the trends of publications and explore the discipline distribution and identify the most influential authors and articles at different times. The results show that this field of study has attracted progressively more scholars from a variety of research fields and has become multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The changing knowledge domains of rural development research also reflect the dynamics and complexity of rural contexts. Keywords: rural development research; bibliometric analysis; visualization Citation: Lu, Y.; de Vries, W.T. A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research. -

For the reduction of Psomiocarpa and Tectaridium (previously monotypic genera) into Tectaria, T. macleanii (new combination) and T. psomiocarpa (new name) are proposed as new combinations. In addition, the new name Tectaria subvariolosa is put forward to replace a later homonym (T. stenosemioides). Key words: nomenclature, Psomiocarpa, taxonomy, Tectaridium Introduction Tectaria Cavanilles (1799) (Tectariaceae) is a fern genus frequent in tropical regions, with most species growing terrestrially in rain forests. This group is remarkable for its extremely diverse morphology, and the estimated number of species ranges from 150 (Tryon & Tryon 1982; Kramer 1990) to 210 (Holttum 1991a). Holttum (1991a) recognized 105 species in Tectaria from Malesia and presumed that SE Asia is its center of origin. -
