Abstract A description is provided for Colpoma juniperi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Juniperus communis (bark, twig), J. communis subsp. nana (twig), J. nana [=J. communis subsp. nana] (twig), J. sibirica (twig), Juniperus sp. (twig). DISEASE: Colpoma juniperi is found on living and dead branches, typically on old bushes or trees in undisturbed natural forest, but also on long-established dwarf bushes at higher altitudes. Unlike branches on other plants inhabited by other species of Colpoma, those of Juniperus bearing C. juniperi are not noticeably brittle. It is usually found only on the lower part of the tree or bush, mostly near the centre of the tree. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Austria, Estonia, Finland, former Czechoslovakia [fide Holm & Holm, 1977], Greenland [fide Holm & Holm, 1977], Iceland [fide Holm & Holm, 1977], Italy, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, UK (Scotland), Ukraine. The fungus may also exist in the USA (New York) [fide Holm & Holm, 1977], but this could be Coccomyces petersii incorrectly identified. Colpoma juniperi is common in northern Scandinavia, becoming rarer further south, and appears to be absent from Denmark [fide Holm & Holm, 1977]. Altitude records exist up to 1850m (Ukraine), 870m (Norway) and 760m (Scotland). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in humid conditions; ascomata containing ascospores have been observed from May to July; ascomata which no longer contain ascospores have been observed in September.

Abstract A description is provided for Lachnellula suecica, which is generally regarded as a saprobe, with almost all observations of it as fruitbodies erumpent from bark of dead twigs and small branches. However, L. suecica has been associated with damaging cankers on Pinus contorta in Denmark, in some localities resulting in the near destruction of plantations. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, physiological specialization, geographical distribution (Canada (British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec), USA (Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, New York, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming), Republic of Georgia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Russia, Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Republic of Macedonia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine) and hosts (Abies spp., Juniperus communis, Larix spp., Picea spp., Pinus spp. and Tsuga spp.).

Abstract A description is provided for Coccomyces strobi. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Pinus ayacahuite, P. excelsa [= P. wallichiana] (twig), P. monticola (twig), P. strobus (twig), P. wallichiana. Most records are on P. strobus. DISEASE: Coccomyces strobi is found on recently killed twigs of 5-needle pines. Sherwood (60, 1319) noted that 'since the fungus is nearly ubiquitous and appears soon after the death of the portions of the host on which it occurs, it is tempting to brand it as parasitic'. The twigs on which it occurs are typically rather brittle, suggesting that, like Therrya fuckelii (IMI Description 1297), T. pini (IMI Description 1298) and Colpoma quercinum (IMI Description 942), this fungus may have a rôle in self-pruning of the tree. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Canada (British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario), Hungary, Ukraine, USA (Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin). European records are on Pinus strobus, a native of North America. The fungus is thus most probably also to be a native of North America, which has travelled to Europe with its host. The record from Ukraine is tentative, based on a collection with rather old ascomata. The record from Washington State on P. monticola appears to be the first from west of the Rockies. TRANSMISSION: By air-borne ascospores in humid conditions; in the USA, ascomata containing ascospores have been observed from May to August.

Authors from the Christian Right in the USA situate the September 11 attack on New York and Washington within God's intentions to bring America into the divine schedule for the end of the world. This is true of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, and other leading figures in the ‘Christian Coalition’. This article analyses how Christian fundamentalists assess the roles of the USA, the State of Israel, Islam, Iraq, the European Union and Russia within what they perceive to be the divine plan for the future of the world, especially against the background of ‘9/11’. It argues that the ideas of the Christian Right and of President George W. Bush coalesce to a high degree. Whereas before 9/11 many American mega-church preachers had aspirations to direct political life, after the events of that day the President assumes some of the roles of a mega-religious leader.

In recent decades, environmental pollution has become a significant international public problem in developing and developed nations. Various regions of the USA are experiencing illnesses related to environmental pollution. This study aims to investigate the association of four environmental pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and Ozone (O3), with daily cases and deaths resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection in five regions of the USA, Los Angeles, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, and Florida. The daily basis concentrations of PM2.5, CO, NO2, and O3 were documented from two metrological websites. Data were obtained from the date of the appearance of the first case of (SARS-CoV-2) in the five regions of the USA from 13 March to 31 December 2020. Regionally (Los Angeles, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, and Florida), the number of cases and deaths increased significantly along with increasing levels of PM2.5, CO, NO2 and O3 (p < 0.05), respectively. The Poisson regression results further depicted that, for each 1 unit increase in PM2.5, CO, NO2 and O3 levels, the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections significantly increased by 0.1%, 14.8%, 1.1%, and 0.1%, respectively; for each 1 unit increase in CO, NO2, and O3 levels, the number of deaths significantly increased by 4.2%, 3.4%, and 1.5%, respectively. These empirical estimates demonstrate an association between the environmental pollutants PM2.5, CO, NO2, and O3 and SARS-CoV-2 infections, showing that they contribute to the incidence of daily cases and daily deaths in the five different regions of the USA. These findings can inform health policy decisions about combatting the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in these USA regions and internationally by supporting a reduction in environmental pollution.

The Dominican American community in New York is perhaps one of the best examples of how processes of transculturation are affecting traditional definitions of ethnic identification. Given the intense economic, social and cultural transnational exchanges between the island and the USA from the 1960s, Dominicanyorks have been challenging the illusion of homogeneity in the definition of Americanness for decades, creating transnational social networks that transcend traditional national and ethnographic boundaries. The theatrical works of Josefina Báez, a Dominican American performer living in New York, and Sherezada (Chiqui) Vicioso, a Dominican poet and playwright who lived and worked in the US metropolis for decades before moving back to the Dominican Republic, lyrically explore issues of diaspora, identity and migration and the impact these phenomena might have in the lives of migrant Dominican women. Presenting diasporic experiences from two differing but interconnected locales – New York and the Dominican Republic – these plays offer two complementary views on the ways in which ethnicity, race, social class, age and geopolitical location interact in the formation of transcultural identities, thus contributing to develop a hemispheric approach to the study of identity formation in the Americas.
