Affective context and uncertainty drives momentary affective experience
Authors: Asutay Erkin , Genevsky Alexander , Hamilton Paul , Västfjäll Daniel
Published: August 2019

Affect fluctuates in a moment-to-moment fashion, and it reflects the continuous relationship between the individual and the environment. Despite substantial research, there remain important open questions regarding how the continuous stream of sensory input is dynamically represented in experienced affect. Here, approaching affect as a temporally dependent process, we show that momentary affect is shaped by a combination of changes in recent stimuli (i.e. visually presented images for the current studies) and previously experienced affect. We also found that this temporally dependent relationship is influenced by context uncertainty. Participants, in each trial, viewed sequentially presented images and subsequently reported their affective experience, which was modeled based on images’ normative affect ratings and participants’ previously reported affect. Study 1 showed that self-reported valence and arousal in a given trial is partly shaped by the affective impact of the given images and previously experienced affect. In Study 2, we manipulated context uncertainty by controlling occurrence probabilities for normatively pleasant and unpleasant images in separate trials. Increasing context uncertainty (i.e. random occurrence of pleasant and unpleasant images) is associated with increased negative affect when the overall effect context is controlled. In addition, the relative contribution of the most recent image to momentary affect increased with increasing context uncertainty. Taken together, these findings provide clear behavioral evidence that affective experience fluctuates in a temporally dependent and continuous fashion based on recent changes in input variables and previous internal state, and that these fluctuations are sensitive to the affective context and its certainty.
The perception of real and illusory weight differences with grasping tools
Authors: Buckingham Gavin , Campbell Liam , Sedda Anna
Published: August 2019

Humans routinely use tools to extend their repertoire of skilled behavior, using their action capabilities to enhance reach, dexterity, or strength. Little is known, however, about how using a tool affects our experience of object properties, such as heaviness. To better understand how using a tool to manipulate our environment affects perception, participants (n=44) lifted and reported the felt heaviness of objects which varied independently in size and mass. In a blocked repeated-measures design, they lifted with their anatomical hands and with a grasping tool. Contrary to our hypotheses, which was based on earlier work with prosthetic hands (Buckingham et al., 2018), participants experienced real and illusory weight differences just as robustly with a grasping tool as they did with their anatomical hands. These findings add to the growing body of work examining perception tool use and suggest that grasping tools may be incorporated differently into the representation of the body in action than prosthetic hands.
Conversational Agent Research Toolkit: An alternative for creating and managing chatbots for experimental research
Authors: Araujo Theo
Published: August 2019

Conversational agents in the form of chatbots available in messaging platforms are gaining increasing relevance in our communication environment. Based on natural language processing and generation techniques, they are built to automatically interact with users in several contexts. We present here a tool, the Conversational Agent Research Toolkit (CART), aimed at enabling researchers to create conversational agents for experimental studies. CART integrates existing APIs frequently used in practice and provides functionality that allows researchers to create and manage multiple versions of a chatbot to be used as stimuli in experimental studies. This paper provides an overview of the tool and provides a step-by-step tutorial of to design an experiment with a chatbot.
Between Physicality and Symbolism: Kyiv as a Contested Territory in Russian and Ukrainian Émigré Letters, 1920–1939
Authors: Soroka Mykola Iv.
Published: August 2019

The paper deals with visions of Kyiv in the writings of Russian and Ukrainian émigré writers during the interwar period. The city became a focal point of intensive intellectual debate whose participants regarded Kyiv not only as a place of a recent battleground but also as a sacral place and a highly symbolic image. Within the methodological framework of ethnic symbolism, this study attempts to explain how this physical/symbolic dichotomy was used to reinforce continuing claims for historical origin and cultural heritage, thus serving the contemporary purpose of national identity and political legitimacy. It also deploys the concept of displacement as a complex process of negotiation between homeland and hostland within an émigré community — whose sense of loss and identity crisis creates additional impetus, though in different forms, for exploiting historical narratives.

Published: August 2019

The paper analyzes a book written by Volodymyr Yarymovych, Oleksandr Bilyk, and Mykola Volynskyi, entitled Narys istorii ukrainskoi studentskoi hromady ta Ukrainskykh poselen v Espanii 1946–1996 (An Overview of the History of the Ukrainian Student Community and Ukrainian Settlements in Spain, 1946–1996), which tells about the Ukrainian students who arrived in Madrid in 1946 and formed part of the early Ukrainian Diaspora in Spain. The book proves to be an important source of information, previously unknown to scholars, which describes the dramatic and controversial process of constructing Ukrainian identity in the aftermath of World War II. The authors of the study consider the historical and cultural context of the Ukrainian emigration in the second half of the 20th century, its connection with Francoist ideology, and its integral role in the Spanish-Ukrainian cultural dialogue.

Secret vacancy: Cherubina de Gabriak, Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva
Authors: Pogorelaya E. A.
Published: August 2019

A chapter from the forthcoming biography of Cherubina de Gabriak, the paper discusses personal and artistic relationships between the three principal female poets of early 20th c. Russia. In reality, the age of female lyrical poetry began with the publication of Cherubina de Gabriak’s works in Apollonin 1909; the story influenced A. Akhmatova and M. Tsvetaeva. While Akhmatova, due to biographical circumstances, cared very little for the personality and works of de Gabriak, and ostensibly distanced herself from de Gabriak’s lyrical protagonist, Tsvetaeva, by contrast, expressed keen interest in Cherubina’s poems and even drew on her poetic subjects and imagery: e. g. in ‘On a Red Steed’ [‘Na Krasnom kone’]. On the whole, both Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva saw Cherubina as a precursor who had a good ear for the main symbols and questions of the time, but left some of those questions unanswered for others to finish the task.
Reminiscences about Blok [Vospominaniya o Bloke] by V. Verigina
Authors: Romanov B. N.
Published: August 2019

The article tells the story of a memoir about A. Blok written by V. Verigina (1882–1974) and includes a commented version of the notes for her public report ‘Blok and Komissarzhevskaya’s Theatre’ [‘Blok i Teatr Komissarzhevskoy’], delivered on 4 December 1924. The notes add details to the reminiscences of the actress who knew Blok and friends of L. Blok and N. Volokhova. The notes also reveal the date when Verigina began working on the memoirs. Unlike her published texts, the speaker notes contain a direct reference to the poet’s traits of a ‘great man’ (according to Carlyle), and put more emphasis on Blok’s relationship with N. Volokhova, Komissarzhevskaya’s Theatre, and V. Meierhold in the years 1906–1908. The manuscript was preserved in the archive of the Soviet literary critic Evgenia Fyodorovna Knipovich (1898–1988), who belonged to Blok’s inner circle in 1918–1921, and later supervised research at the Association of Blok Studies (under the auspices of the State Academy of Artistic Studies, GAKhN) in 1923–1929, at the time when Verigina presented her report to the Association.
Stuart Sillars. Shakespeare and the visual imagination
Authors: Rybko I. A.
Published: August 2019

The review is devoted to S. Sillars’ book Shakespeare and the Visual Imagination. Sillars introduces the concept of ‘visual imagination’ and examines it through the works of Shakespeare. Other key notions for the study include copia and ethopoeia. Sillars uses them to combine analyses of different Shakespearean plays. In his examination of the playwright’s legacy Sillars employs a variety of methods, which counts as a merit rather than a flaw of this work. However, his arguments justifying a special place for As You Like It and The Winter’s Tale among Shakespeare’s oeuvre are not convincing. In his study Sillars turns to subjects well known to researchers, but also references less common works for comparison (Hypnerotomachia Poliphili ).
Lord Byron. Lyrical poetry translated by Georgy Shengeli
Authors: Egorova L. V.
Published: August 2019

The book features Byron’s early poems Hours of Idleness, hitherto unpublished in Russian, as well as selected poems from 1809–1811 and 1816, and Hebrew Melodies. The book is relevant within the context of Byron’s legacy and Shengeli’s work. It is since the late 1980s that Shengeli’s previously unpublished poems have appeared in press, and we are on a path to better understanding the scope of his achievements. The book opens with Vladislav Rezvy’s excellent introduction to Shengeli’s life and work. Despite the article’s many merits, it still fails to discuss one important topic: Shengeli’s perception of Byron, the ‘comprehensive assimilation of the ideas, imagery, style and poetic techniques’ as described by A. Veselovsky in his time.
The author’s metaphtonymy in Vladimir Gandelsman’s poem ‘A day in September’ [‘Den’ v sentyabre’]
Authors: Dakhmaeva M. M.
Published: August 2019

Examining the dynamics of the imagery in Vladimir Gandelsman’s poem ‘A day in September’ [‘Den’ v sentyabre’], the article assesses the effects of metaphtonymy as the core method that creates its meaning. Metaphtonymy is defined as interaction of metaphor and metonymy, which becomes a main tool for uncovering various interpretations of a single text. Gandelsman’s poetic experiments are of special interest due to his skillful implementation of a finely nuanced psychologism by a variety of means, often uncommon, in the field of the poem’s imagery and semantics. The development of the system of images and conditionality of their dynamics reveal the ways to shape varying interpretations, all thanks to the poet’s careful and competent treatment of words. It is through the metaphtonymic shift that the reader’s attention is drawn to the interpretation that’s closest to him/her, while the use of ancillary methods of repetition and coupling within the general poetic metaphtonymy generate polysemantics. Multidimensionality in the semantic field of the text is the leading trend in the modern poetic paradigm.

Published: August 2019

Limbah plastik dengan berbagai jenis seperti Polietilen Tereptalat (PET), High-Density polietilen (HDPE), Low-Density polietilen (LDPE), dan polipropilen (PP) merupakan masalah yang harus diatasi dimana Indonesia merupakan negara penyumbang terbesar kedua di dunia. Selain itu Indonesia juga memiliki potensi lokal yang besar dalam menghasilkan limbah biomassa yang merupakan senyawa organik seperti limbah pertanian dan perkebunan.  Hal ini kalau tidak diatasi tentu saja akan berdampak buruk bagi lingkungan. Beberapa alternatif telah dilakukan dalam rangka mengelola limbah tersebut melalui teknologi daur ulang. Namun metode ini memiliki kelemahan karena dibutuhkan biaya yang tinggi untuk membayar tenaga kerja dan biaya proses pemisahan  serta mengakibatkan kontaminasi pada air sungai sehingga metode ini sulit untuk diterapkan secara berkelanjutan. Oleh karena itu, para peneliti kemudian beralih perhatiannya pada pemanfaatan limbah plastik dan biomassa sebagai sumber energi alternatif yaitu bahan bakar cair. Tulisan ini merupakan telaah potensi konversi limbah plastik dan limbah organik menjadi bahan bakar cair dengan teknologi pirolisis. Parameter utama yang dikaji yaitu suhu, tekanan,  jenis reaktor, waktu tinggal dan katalis. Selain itu, gagasan untuk optimasi produk bahan bakar juga dibahas di sini.

Authors: Rosa P.
Published: August 2019

Colpopyga Semenov, 1954, a chrysidid genus of the tribe Elampini (Chrysididae: Chrysidinae) with four Palaearctic and one Nearctic species, is reviewed. The study of internal urites (Noskiewicz & Lorencova, 1963) and new molecular data (Niehuis, pers. comm.) show a generic status of Colpopyga, which is more related to the genus Holopyga Dahlbom, 1854. A new species, Colpopyga nesterovi sp. nov. from Kazakhstan, is described and illustrated; it is easily recognizable by the red-coppery body coloration and shallow, small and sparse punctures. The status of the subspecies Hedychridium flavipes temperatum Linsenmaier, 1959 is updated to species level in the genus Colpopyga (comb. nov.). New generic combinations are also proposed for C. aureiventris (Mercet, 1904), comb. nov. and C. crassa (Bohart, 1978), comb. nov. (all from the genus Hedychridium). The lectotype of Hedychridium flavipes var. cyanomaculatum Trautmann, 1927 is designated.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE METHODOLOGY FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ODONTOGENIC SINUSITIS
Authors: Avetikov D.S. , Yatsenko I.V. , Нavryliev V.N. , Aipert V.V.
Published: August 2019

Today, odontogenic sinusitis (OS) occurs in up to 40% of cases among all maxillary sinusitis. At the same time there is an increase in the incidence of OS. This is facilitated by factors such as late medical treatment, improved diagnostic capabilities, an increase in number of dental and especially implantation interventions with the lifting of mucous floor of maxillary sinus. The aim of work was to develop an optimal, sparing surgical option that should lead to a lasting recovery of patients with odontogenic sinusitis. For 5 years, under supervision and treatment, there were 58 patients with hypertension from the age of 20 to 65 years. In 42 of them, the cause of development of exhaust gas was a complication of the tooth extraction operation, which led to perforation of the lower wall of the sinus. In one case out of 42 observed patients with odontogenic sinusitis (OS), the patient did not need to undergo radical surgery on the maxillary sinus lesions. All patients managed to achieve a sustained recovery with minimal surgical intervention, both in bone structures, and in the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus (MS), nasal cavity and oral cavity. The authors of the article believe that at in case of OS, there is no evidence for radical surgery on MS, and surgical intervention should be organ-preserving. An exception can be made only for cases of OS that is complicated by inflammatory osteomyelitis, orbital and intracranial complications. Patients with OS should be treated in maxillo-facial departments with obligatory consultation of the otorhinolaryngologist, who knows the features of pathological process in MS better than the maxillofacial surgeon. In addition, in OS one should use a set of conservative measures that will help to ensure the compete treatment of the inflamed sinus. Having the opportunity to choose the optimal sparing variant of intervention, one can achieve optimal and steady recovery of patients with OS.

We calculated studied the state of the hormonal status in experimental animals under the influence of sodium fluoride in 45 adult rats (males and females) of the Wistar population, which were orally administered a solution of sodium fluoride at a rate of 20 mg / kg of weight daily in the morning on an empty stomach, under the model conditions of intoxication. The duration of the subacute experiment was 1.5 months, after which the animals were euthanized by decapitation. Comprehensive assessment of the hormonal status in white rats was carried out by radioisotope methods in the serum. The results showed reduced levels of folliculotropin and progesterone, increased levels of thyroxine, adrenocorticotropin, glucagon, triiodothyronine, thyrotropin and calcitonin, while insulin, somatostatin and serum glucose levels decreased. There was no change in the dynamics of the content of sex hormones - luteotropin, prolactin, testosterone compared with the control (P> 0.05). Furthermore, in the blood serum of rats, there was an increase in the levels of prostaglandin PGE2, prostacyclin (6 keto-PGF1a), leukotriene B4 and a decrease in the concentrations of prostaglandins PGE1, PGF2a and leukotriene C4. At all levels of the study of the endocrine system, deep shifts in the functional activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-cortical substance of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, and sympatho-adrenal structures have been identified. Analysis of the detected changes in the hormonal status allows judging the nonspecific reaction of the body to fluoride intoxication and reflects the state of the protective-adaptive mechanisms, in which the hypothalamus, the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands play a large role. Changes in the dynamics of concentrations of hormones and histohormones reflected a significant stress of the protective-adaptive mechanisms, which, in terms of structural and functional units, led to disruption of metabolic processes, including those associated with the development of fluoride intoxication. Disruption of the balance of hormones and functioning of the endocrine organs and systems entails profound changes in the metabolic processes and the immunobiological reactivity of the organism, weakening the action of the protective-adaptive mechanisms in maintaining the homeostatic function.

Published: August 2019

The accumulation of organochlorine compounds (OCs) and mercury in the sediments of the Chernorechenskoe Reservoir since the mid-1960s to 2008 has been studied. Sedimentation rate and accumulation chronology of recovered sediments were reconstructed by the method of radioisotope dating . The sedimentation rate in the reservoir has been found to vary because of changes in reservoir volume and area in the late 1980s. Historical reconstruction of the input of OCs and mercury into the reservoir sediments in the recent 50 years has been performed. The period of 1950–1960 has been found to show considerable pollution of reservoir sediment by DDT and mercury. The spatial distribution of OCs and mercury has been determined in the top 5-cm layer of sediments in the Chernorechenskoe Reservoir. The deposition rates of OCs and total mercury into sediments in 2008 have been evaluated.
Assessment of parameters and distribution of extremely heavy-rainfall events that occur several times per year
Authors: Klimenko D. E. , Cherepanova E. S. , Kuzminykh A. Yu.
Published: August 2019

Applied analyses of a number of datasets containing several highwater-forming storm rainfall events (intense rain for short time periods) per year are examined. The use of data containing several events per year is demonstrated as justified for reliable determination of statistical properties of time series derived from short observation periods. The statistics of time series containing one to several events per year in the Ural Mountains are shown to be well correlated with the frequency of the observed events. Recommendations for recalculation of the time-series statistics containing several events per year versus statistics for one event per year were developed, and a brief comparative analysis of the methods used in Russia is provided.
The Bull and Bear Communicative Strategies in the US presidential campaign rhetoric
Authors: Mukhortov D. , Zhovner E.
Published: August 2019

This article seeks to introduce bull and bear communicative strategies in the US election discourse. The coinage is derived from the popular images of bull and bear in the economic terms ‘bull market’ and ‘bear market’. The bull strategy focuses on positive self-presentation, while the bear strategy is aimed at negative otherpresentation. Research into US presidential debates shows that most frequent communicative strategies aim either to create and reinforce the politician’s positive image or to discredit his or her opponent and ruin their chances to win. Which of the strategies stands to be more efficient is yet a matter of argument; however it is vividly shown that these strategies provide the perfect breeding ground for discursive confrontation.

Secara umum, ajaran tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri disebut sebagai ajaran Wujǔdiyah. Secara geneologi, kata wujǔdiyah tidak ditemukan dalam karya-karya Hamzah Fansuri. Kata tersebut justru pertama sekali disebutkan dalam tulisan-tulisan Nũr Al-Dîn Al-Rânirî sebagai “tudingan sesat” atas ajaran tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri. Secara ontologi, kata wujǔdiyah justru sering dikaitkan dengan ajaran waḥdatul wujúd-nya Ibnu Arabi. Terakhir, kata wujǔdiyah kemudian menjadi “terma baku” yang digunakan oleh para pengkaji Hamzah Fansuri, baik yang mendukung maupun yang menolak ajarannya. Hanya saja dalam artikel ini penulis mencoba menolak menyematkan kata wujǔdiyah dan menawarkan kata ma’rifah bagi ajaran tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri. Menurut penulis, ajaran tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri lebih layak disebut sebagai ma’rifah, daripada wujǔdiyah. Karena kata wujǔdiyah tidak ditemukan basis geneologi, maupun terma ontologi, epistemologi dan aksiologi-nya dalam ajaran tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri.

Published: August 2019

Contemporary structural design approaches necessitates ways to determine realistic behavior of structures. For this purpose, inelastic ultimate load analysis methods are used widely since strength and stability of whole structure can be represented. In this study, a numerical method is proposed for determining inelastic ultimate load capacity of steel frames considering lateral torsional buckling behavior under distributed loads. In the analyses, inelastic material behavior, second-order effects and residual stresses of the structural frame system and its members are taken into account. Additionally, lateral torsional buckling behavior is considered in the analysis using finite difference method and it is used for determining the structural load carrying capacity of steel frames. Consequently, the problem associated with flexural capacity decreases due to lateral torsional buckling is precisely considered in the load increment steps of inelastic ultimate load analysis. In order to validate the proposed method, numerical examples from the literature are calculated considering the proposed method, AISC 360-16 design specification equations and approaches from the literature. Results of the numerical examples show that lateral torsional buckling is a key issue in determining structural load carrying capacity. Thus, proposed analysis method is shown to be an efﬁcient and consistent tool for inelastic ultimate load analysis.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Many people suffer from this disease for many years and die prematurely from it or its complications. COPD is a preventable and treatable pulmonary disease. In early stage, diagnosis of COPD is difficult because sign & symptoms are minimum. Only history of mild dyspnea, cough and/or sputum production or prolong smoking, exposure to occupational dusts or biomass fuels are present without any sign. Spirometry is the tool to diagnose COPD. If we can diagnose COPD in early stage then it is treatable and can prevent progression of the disease. Spirometry is a simple tool to diagnose COPD at any health care level. So this study was done to diagnose COPD in early stage among smokers. This study was carried out in Department of Medicine (Indoor & outdoor) of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from March, 2010 to February, 2011. 255 smoker having exposure to >10 pack year smoking fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were included and 300 apparently healthy non-smoker also were included as control. Both male & female were included with age of the study population were from 30 years to 70 years. All of that study population was free from diseases which alter spirometric measurement. This exclusion was done by history, thorough clinical examination and relevant investigations. Among smokers, clinically 9(4.03%) were diagnosed to have COPD only and the spirometry also diagnosed these 9 smokers and other 32 smokers more to have COPD and thus diagnose 41(18.38%) smokers to have COPD. The difference between clinical and spirometric diagnosis of COPD is statistically highly significant. The test done was Fisher’s Exact Test, where p value is 0.000. So, spirometry is considered as a simple valuable instrument to diagnose COPD in early stage among smokers.

Published: August 2019

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is the one of the leading cause of death globally, more marked in developing countries like Bangladesh. The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is increasing globally fueled by obesity endemic. The study is designed to get an idea about prevalence and clinical impact of DM among pulmonary TB patients.

Objective: The aim of the study is to find out the rate and effect of Diabetes mellitus in patients with pulmonary Tuberculosis. Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in DOTS (directly observed therapy, short course) corner, outpatient department (OPD), Dhaka Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka from July to December 2012. 125 patients of pulmonary Tuberculosis were included in this study as case. 125 age and sex matched controls who were not suffering from pulmonary Tuberculosis were taken from the attendant of the patients who had given the consent. Prevalence and clinical impact of diabetes mellitus was sort out in both case and control group and compared with each other.

Results: The study shows the prevalence of DM among pulmonary TB patients is 26.4% and among normal population (non TB patients) is 20.8%. The relative risk (odds ratio) of DM among pulmonary TB patients is 1.27 times more than non TB person with p-value - 0.02, which is significant. In symptoms analysis, diabetic patients have got more haemoptysis (45%), in contrast to non-diabetic group (13%), with p-value-0.001. In non-diabetic patients Fever are more common, 88% in contrast to diabetic group 57%, p-value-0.001. Sputum positivity is more common (69%) among diabetic pulmonary TB patients than non diabetic pulmonary TB patients (58%). On chest X ray findings this study reveals that pulmonary TB patient with DM having cavitary lesion is 33% while it is only 9.76% in non-diabetic persons.

Conclusion: This study found that there was greater prevalence of DM among pulmonary TB patients (26.4%) than non pulmonary TB persons (20.4%). This findings provides the information that health care provider should intensively search presence of DM in pulmonary TB patients.

New biogeographical records of spiders and harvestmen (Arachnida: Araneae & Opiliones) from West Siberia, including an annotated list of species
Authors: Marusik Yuri , Koponen Seppo
Published: August 2019

Fifty-three species of spiders and one species of harvestmen were found in the previously unstudied Gydansky Peninsula, northwestern Siberia. Distribution for each species is given. Records of certain species are of a special interest: Xysticus viduus (the northernmost locality in its range), Crosbylonia borealis (the westernmost), Oreoneta eskovi (the northernmost and the westernmost), Clubiona norvegica (the easternmost in Asia), Pachygnatha listeri , Helophora insignis and Mitopus morio (the northernmost in Asia) and Oreoneta leviceps (the southernmost in the Palaearctic). Three species, Oreoneta eskovi, Pardosa oljunae and Thaleria orientalis, are endemics of West Siberia. About two-thirds of the species are either circum-Holarctic or trans-Palaearctic.

Relative abundance and geographical variation of Culex pipiens and Culex torrentium (Diptera: Culicidae) in CO2-baited traps in Denmark
Authors: Byriel David , Kristensen Birgit , Klitgaard Kristine , Bødker René
Published: August 2019

Abstract: European Culex pipiens and Culex torrentium are morphological fairly similar mosquito species with potentially different vector competences for pathogenic viruses. The relative abundance of the two species is therefore important for quantifying the potential for disease transmission in Denmark. Mosquitoes were sampled from 74 different sites in Denmark with CO2 and octenol-baited suction traps. A total of 285 Culex specimens were identified to species using a restriction enzyme assay. Culex pipiens was the dominating species with 220 (77%) specimens caught at 22 different sites, while 65 (23%) specimens were identified as C. torrentium and only caught at 4 sites. The ratio of the two species differed significantly between sites with C. torrentium dominating in just a single location. Both mosquito species were predominantly caught late in the Danish mosquito season, from mid-August and onwards.

Seasonal and circadian activity patterns of scuttle fly assemblages (Diptera: Phoridae) in two habitats on a Mediterranean mountain
Authors: Garcia-Romera Carlos , Barrientos Jose
Published: August 2019

Seasonal and circadian activity of scuttle fly assemblages in beech forests and highland scrublands was analysed. The scuttle flies were collected in the Montseny Natural Park (Catalonia, Spain). Seasonal fluctuations and the relation of some meteorological variables were assessed using window traps, emergence traps and pitfall traps, while circadian activity was assessed using water traps and light traps. Scuttle fly density and species richness in both habitats showed an activity peak in July. Diversity peaks were found in spring and autumn in beech forest and in summer in scrublands. Temperature was the main meteorological variable related to the seasonal dynamics of scuttle fly assemblages. We found univoltine and bivoltine species in the beech forest, while only univoltine species were found in the scrublands. Cold-adapted species were captured in winter, mainly Triphleba Rondani species. The scuttle fly circadian activity peak was at 12–15 h. Megaselia diversa (Wood, 1909) showed nocturnal or crepuscular habits.

Australobius polyspinipes sp. n. (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae) was recently discovered from Tianheshan Mountain, Hebei Province, China, and it is described here. Morphologically the new species is similar to A. nodulus Ma, Song &Zhu, 2008 and A. magnus (Trozina, 1894), both recorded from China. The new species can be easily distinguished from those by having 7+7–8+8 coxosternal teeth, 10–12 ocelli on each side of the cephalic plate, 5+5 spurs on the first article of the female gonopods and differences in plectrotaxy of legs. The main morphological characters and a key to the known Chinese species of genus Australobius based on adult specimens is presented.
