    Nannotanyderus ansorgei sp. n., the first member of the family Tanyderidae from Lebanese amber (Lower Cretaceous) Wiesław Krzemińskia, Dany Azarb,* and Kornelia Skibińskaa aInstitute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland bLebanese University, Faculty of Sciences II, Department of Natural Sciences, P.O. Box 26110217, Fanar–Matn, Lebanon *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species, Nannotanyderus ansorgei, belonging to Tanyderidae (Diptera, Nematocera), is described and figured from the Lower Cretaceous amber of Lebanon. This is a tiny species, with very particular male genitalia and with wing venation similar to genus Nannotanyderus krzeminskii Ansorge, 1994 from Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of Germany. For the first time a male specimen of the species Dacochile microsoma Poinar & Brown, 2004 is illustrated and its genitalia described. Keywords Diptera; Tanyderidae; fossil; Lower Cretaceous; Lebanese amber; new taxa; Nannotanyderus ansorgei; Dacochile microsoma Introduction Tanyderidae, or primitive crane flies, is a small, cosmopolitan family of mostly aquatic flies, with about 36 known living species world-wide. The immature stages of the extant species are aquatic to semiaquatic including association with wet sandy soil and the outer layers of submerged rotting logs in streams. Adult males sometimes congregate in large swarms in eve- nings; spending the daylight hours among the riparian vegetation near the borders of streams. Little is known about the biology of these unusual flies. Tanyderidae are rather rarely found as fossils. Up till now, representa- tive of six genera have been described, i.e., Macrochile Loew, 1850 (two species from Baltic amber (Loew 1850; Alexander 1931; Podenas 1997)); <UN> <UN> 132 wiesław krzemiński et al.

  • Lebanon Roads and Employment Project Frequently Asked Questions
    Lebanon Roads and Employment Project Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is the Roads and Employment Project (REP)? The Lebanon Roads and Employment Project (REP) is a US$200 million project that aims to improve transport connectivity along select paved road sections and create short-term jobs for the Lebanese and Syrians. The REP was approved by the World Bank (WB) Board of Executive Directors in February 2017 and ratified by the Lebanese Parliament in October 2018. The Project is co-financed by a US$45.4 million grant contribution from the Global Concessional Financing Facility (GCFF) which provides concessional financing to middle income countries hosting large numbers of refugees at rates usually reserved for the poorest countries. The project is implemented by the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) in coordination with the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT), noting that all the roads under the REP are under the jurisdiction of the MPWT. In response to the devastating impact of the economic and financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic on the agriculture sector and food security, the project was restructured in March 2021: a third objective was added and a US$10 million reallocation approved to provide direct support to farmers engaged in crop and livestock production (Please refer to questions # 18 to 26) 2. What are the Components of the Roads and Employment Project? The REP originally had three components. Following its restructuring in March 2021, a fourth component was added to address the impact of the

  • Regional and Sectarian Stratification in Educational Attainment in Lebanon
    Regional and Sectarian Stratification in Education in Lebanon: The Impact of the Civil War Hassan Diab Rania Tfaily Andrzej Kulczycki 1 Regional and Sectarian Stratification in Education in Lebanon: The Impact of the Civil War Abstract We examine the impact of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1991) on disparities in education among the country’s religious sects and regions. Lebanon’s historic patterns of socio- economic development explain much of the country’s earlier rapid and uneven expansion of education. We consider historic and survey evidence, including the 1996 Population and Housing Survey, the most detailed socio-demographic survey since Lebanon’s last census of 1932. We adopt district of registration as a proxy for religious/sectarian affiliation through a novel, detailed classification to assess sectarian differentials by region and regional differentials within each major religious group. Regional/sectarian stratification is examined by education (literate, intermediate, secondary, college) and sex for five-year birth cohorts born over 1927-1981. Findings show that with many young men joining militias, the civil war inadvertently helped close the gender gap in education. It also reproduced pre-existing conditions of lopsided educational development across regions and sects that continue to the present-day. Keywords: education; Lebanon; regional inequalities; religion; Christians; Muslims; civil war 2 Regional and Sectarian Stratification in Education in Lebanon: The Impact of the Civil War Introduction A recent World Bank analysis of national education systems in the Middle East and North Africa both praised and cautioned regional policymakers. On the one hand, countries were commended for improving access to education, especially for reducing the gender gap, and for investing in education.

  • Minority Rights Group International : Lebanon : Maronites
    Minority Rights Group International : Lebanon : Maronites World Directory of Minorities Middle East MRG Directory –> Lebanon –> Maronites Maronites Profile An estimated 860,000 Maronites are in Lebanon, home of the Maronite Church. Originally Aramaic speakers, today Maronites speak Arabic, but use Syriac as a liturgical language. Historical context The Maronite Church traces its origins to Mar Marun, a fourth century hermit. Byzantine persecution on doctrinal grounds and conflict between Muslim and Byzantine forces drove the Maronites from the Syrian plain to the safety of the Qadisha Gorge of northern Lebanon. The Maronite Church was the only Eastern Church to cooperate fully with the Latin Crusaders, seeking union with Rome in 1182. Union was formalized circa 1584, when a Maronite college was established in Rome, the result of increasing contact between the two churches in the intervening period. Rome recognized the Patriarch of the Maronite Church and the Patriarch recognized papal supremacy. The Maronites traditionally inhabited the northern reaches of Mount Lebanon and also the south, from Jezzine down to the present Israeli border, but began to spread into Druze areas, providing their services to Druze landlords in the Matn and Shuf. During the nineteenth century, they eclipsed the Druze economically and then politically, the middle years punctuated by major confrontations culminating in Druze massacres of Christians in 1860. Thereafter, France oversaw the protected status of Mount Lebanon (until 1943) in close consultation with the Maronite Patriarch, who remained a key determinant of political authority until the civil war in 1975. When it was clear that the demographic balance was changing in the early 1970s, the Maronite leadership opposed constitutional compromise and tried to preserve its effective hegemony over a pro-Western republic.

  • Political Party Mapping in Lebanon Ahead of the 2018 Elections
    Political Party Mapping in Lebanon Ahead of the 2018 Elections Foreword This study on the political party mapping in Lebanon ahead of the 2018 elections includes a survey of most Lebanese political parties; especially those that currently have or previously had parliamentary or government representation, with the exception of Lebanese Communist Party, Islamic Unification Movement, Union of Working People’s Forces, since they either have candidates for elections or had previously had candidates for elections before the final list was out from the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities. The first part includes a systematic presentation of 27 political parties, organizations or movements, showing their official name, logo, establishment, leader, leading committee, regional and local alliances and relations, their stance on the electoral law and their most prominent candidates for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The second part provides the distribution of partisan and political powers over the 15 electoral districts set in the law governing the elections of May 6, 2018. It also offers basic information related to each district: the number of voters, the expected participation rate, the electoral quotient, the candidate’s ceiling on election expenditure, in addition to an analytical overview of the 2005 and 2009 elections, their results and alliances.
