THE YIELD AND PRODUCTIVITY OF SUNFLOWER DEPEND ON ITS SHARE IN CROP ROTATION
Authors: Mashchenko Yu. V. , Sokolovska I. M.
Published: February 2024

The importance of sunflower as the main oilseed crop, high economic efficiency, saturation of the agricultural market with high-quality seeds of modern hybrids resistant to adverse environmental conditions, diseases, and pests with high yield potential contribute to increasing the share of the crop in crop rotations. Despite many researchers not recommending returning sunflower to the crop rotation earlier than five to eight years, growing sunflower after sunflower is possible. One of the main conditions for obtaining a high yield in continuous sunflower crops is the nutrient background. Research was conducted on alternating sunflower and maize for grain in a two-field crop rotation and for sunflower cultivation in monoculture under different fertilization systems in the fields of the Institute of Steppe Agriculture of the National Academy of Sciences. Annual alternation in the crop rotation of sunflower and maize contributed to an increase in sunflower yield to 1.75 t/ha compared to its continuous cultivation, where the yield did not exceed 1.39 t/ha; the yield increase due to the crop rotation factor was 0.36 t/ha or 21.5%. The fertilization system significantly affected the yield of sunflower. The highest yield was achieved with the organo-mineral fertilization system in a crop rotation with 50% saturation with sunflower at 2.33 t/ha. Moreover, the application of mineral fertilizers together with sunflower residues in monoculture neutralized the effect of the crop rotation factor and provided a seed yield at the level of crop rotation with alternating crops, 0.71 t/ha. The highest yield increase was obtained with the mineral fertilization system, 0.51 t/ha or 36.7%; for the organo-mineral system, the yield increase was slightly lower at 0.46 t/ha or 27.4%. Higher productivity was formed by sunflower crops in a crop rotation with 50% saturation with crops. The crop rotations factor ensured an increase in grain units, feed units, and digestible protein to 3.51 t/ha, 1.93 t/ha, and 0.66 t/ha, respectively; the yield increase compared to sunflower monoculture was 0.72 t/ha, 0.39 t/ha, and 0.14 t/ha. The increase in sunflower productivity due to the fertilization system factor was even more significant, and under the organo-mineral system in a crop rotation with 50% saturation with sunflower, they were the highest at 4.67 t/ha of grain units, 2.57 t/ha of feed units, and 0.89 t/ha of digestible protein.
ВПЛИВ ТЕМПЕРАТУРНОГО ФАКТОРУ ЗА РІЗНИХ СИСТЕМ ВЕНТИЛЯЦІЇ НА ФІЗІОЛОГІЧНІ ПОКАЗНИКИ КНУРІВ-ПЛІДНИКІВ

Published: February 2024

Екстремальні кліматичні умови є викликом для адаптації тварин, у тому числі для свиней. Тепловий стрес завдає збитків для галузі свинарства, благополуччя свиней, оскільки знижуються продуктивні ознаки тварин, уповільнюються чи зовсім припиняються статеві цикли, рефлекси, знижується якісне запліднення тощо. Для того, щоб фермери могли контролювати мікроклімат тваринницьких приміщень застосовують ряд систем вентилювання повітря. У статті представлено результати вимірювань і аналізу осциляції температурних значень залежно від типу вентиляційних систем у приміщенні для утримання кнурів-плідників упродовж серпня місяця та вплив на їх фізіологічні параметри. Експериментальні дослідження проводили протягом 2021 року, загалом використано 18 голів кнурів-плідників великої білої породи, порід ландрас і дюрок в умовах ПрАТ «Племзавод «Степной» Запорізької області. Правила поводження з кнурами в експерименті відповідали законодавству про захист тварин та їх комфорт, які утримуються на фермах. Результати експерименту свідчать, при геотермічній вентиляції в приміщенні спостерігався «ефект підвалу», що спричиняло зниження температури повітря на 5,9 oC (р<0,05) у зоні лежання кнурів на відстані 25–30 см від підлоги, а в зоні, де тварини стояли (60–70 см від підлоги) – на 7,3 оС (р<0,05), відносно поперечної системи вентиляції. Кнури-плідники, які утримувалися в приміщеннях із системою поперечної вентиляції, мали вірогідно(p<0,05) вищі: частоту дихання – на 50,9 уд/хв і частоту серцевих скорочень – на 45,7 уд/хв, порівняно з аналогічними кнурами за охолодженої подачі повітря. Вплив температури повітря за різних систем вентиляції при утриманні кнурів-плідників на їх метаболізм свідчить, що при вищих температурах зони комфорту кнури-плідники знижують свою активність з можливістю підвищеної тепловіддачі безпосередньо за рахунок шкіри і поверхневого випаровування води. При температурі повітря у приміщенні вище 30 оC механізми терморегуляції виходять з ладу і температура тіла підвищується. При температурі повітря у приміщенні 35 оС, температура тіла підвищується до 42 оС і більше, дихання стає частішим, спостерігається відмова від їжі, швидко настає кома і смерть. Дорослі свині більш толерантні до низьких температур.
ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПРОПУСКНОЇ СПРОМОЖНОСТІ СМУГИ РУХУ АВТОМОБІЛЬНОЇ ДОРОГИ ПРИ РУСІ БЕЗ ОБГОНІВ

Published: February 2024

Дослідження умов, які виникають при русі групи автомобілів по смузі руху без обгонів показало, що загальноприйняте визначення пропускної спроможності, як максимально можливої кількості транспортних засобів, що може пройти через поперечний переріз смуги автодороги за одиницю часу, недостатньо інформативно. Це призводить до того, що фактична інтенсивність транспортних потоків перевищує пропускну спроможність на багатьох ділянках автомобільних доріг різних країн, чого не має бути, виходячи з її формулювання. У такому вигляді цей показник також не відображає якість обслуговування учасників руху на ділянці, досягнення високого рівня якого є основною метою створення і функціонування автомобільних доріг. За допомогою методу ідеалізації показано, що загальний час подолання щільною групою транспортних засобів деякої односмугової ділянки автомобільної дороги ненульової довжини без обгонів і випереджень, який починається з моменту перетину початку ділянки першим транспортним засобом групи і закінчується перетином початку ділянки останнім з них, залежить лише від швидкості найповільнішого члена групи. При цьому передбачається, що у вільних умовах ці транспортні засоби рухалися би з різною швидкістю обраною кожним водієм індивідуально, виходячи з технічних характеристик керованого ним засобу, дорожніх умов і власних побажань, що цілком відповідає реальному стану руху на ділянках доріг у багатьох країнах, де проводились відповідні дослідження. У роботі обґрунтовується необхідність обліку довжини ділянки при визначенні її пропускної спроможності, як такої інтенсивності руху, при якій на ділянці забезпечуються задані на певному рівні якості умови руху транспортних засобів. Як основний показник, що відображає ці умови, запропоновано використовувати швидкість вільного руху, яка відображає переваги водіїв у транспортному потоці.

The purpose of the research is to critically analyze the legal aspects of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of education, as well as to study the role of chatbots and the Chat GPT model, plagiarism issues, educational modeling and the impact of AI on the labor market. To achieve this goal, various research methods are used, including the analysis of current legal norms and international legislation that relate to the use of AI in education. The study also includes an analysis of intellectual property issues, data privacy, ethical standards and liability.

The results of the study highlight the problem of plagiarism in chat rooms and emphasize the importance of careful use of information to ensure academic integrity. Despite the possible misuse of AI by students, such as chatbots and GPT models, for plagiarism, these technologies can also facilitate plagiarism detection. The research also examines the use of machine learning and data analytics to create personalized learning experiences, improve learning effectiveness, and retain knowledge.

The overall conclusion is that the integration of artificial intelligence in education has the potential to improve the quality and accessibility of education, but this requires a sound legal framework. The article also evaluates the effectiveness of various AI tools, including chatbots that provide information on demand and Chat GPT, useful for processing textual materials. The paper also examines the role of learning simulation in personalizing education, using AI to analyze performance data, and tailoring individual learning pathways.

On the emergence of an aspectual NPI: comparative polysemy and the case of Diyari marla
Authors: Phillips Josh , Wegner Will , Bowern Claire
Published: February 2024

Cross-linguistically, morphological material that expresses comparison (e.g. more) appears to be colexified with aspectual (“phasal”) adverbs that, under negation, encode the termination of some eventuality (CESSATIVEs, e.g. *(not)...anymore). Using data drawn from the Diyari language of central Australia, we propose a diachronic trajectory for the lexical item marla ‘very, truly’. This word first developed a comparative semantics and, subsequently, a cessative reading restricted to negative polar contexts. This proposal moves us towards a lexical entry that permits for the unification of comparative and aspectual readings for items which exhibit this polysemy and—on the basis of robust pragmatic principles— predicts their polarity-sensitive distribution cross-linguistically.

Published: February 2024

El Síndrome de Burnout tiene repercusiones directas en el actuar de las personas dentro de su vida cotidiana y en especial en el contexto laboral. La realidad del ejercicio docente está marcada por una serie situaciones complejas, ya que se trabaja con seres humanos, cada uno con formas y modos de actuar y asimilar las cosas muy diferentes, lo cual, exige un alto nivel de dominio y Autocontrol en el desarrollo de sus funciones. El desarrollo del estudio a través de un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo exploratorio, permitió conocer la periodicidad en que los docentes perciben la presencia de los elementos inherentes a las subescalas del síndrome de burnout. Los autores; especialistas en el campo de la educación y psicopedagogía, empleando un muestreo aleatorio simple, obtuvieron la participación de 68 docentes, de los cuales se obtuvo información a través de la adaptación del instrumento “Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)”, validado por Gil Monte (2002), para el idioma español. Con base en los resultados se visualiza una proyección positiva para las tres subescalas del Burnout evaluadas, donde, respecto al agotamiento o cansancio emocional, no prevalece el 30% en la periodicidad, al visualizar la despersonalización, el porcentaje es de un 85% de presencia al año o menos y en realización personal superior al 60% de presencia anual. Estos planteamientos permitieron llegar a las conclusiones de que, a pesar de la existencia del agotamiento y carga laboral, la periodicidad es positiva en las tres subescalas estudiadas, principalmente en la despersonalización y realización personal, donde la percepción de los docentes sugiere niveles significativos de empatía con las inmersas en el desarrollo de sus labores. La investigación deja abierta la posibilidad de evaluar las características del síndrome de burnout a futuro, porque solo se centra en comprobar con qué frecuencia los elementos de las tres escalas afectan al docente, y así verificar como demuestra conductas y modos de comportamiento en el ejercicio laboral para con sus estudiantes

Background and objectives. Biliary atresia occurs due to multifactorial etiology, and it was recently suggested that perinatal infection with TORCH, especially Cytomegalovirus (CMV), triggers inflammation of the bile ducts. This study aims to evaluate the TORCH infection on cholestasis with the occurrence of biliary atresia and its clinical manifestations. Materials and methods. A prospective single-center study was performed on 113 cholestatic infants and classified into two groups based on their positivity of immunoglobulin M and G (IgM and IgG). They were tested for CMV, Rubella, and Toxoplasmosis by a Gold Standard Diagnostics ELISA kit in our laboratory. Clinical conditions, laboratory tests (Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and liver histopathology between the two groups were analyzed with p <0.05 was considered significant. Results. Out of 113 infants of cholestasis, 94.7% (n = 107) were CMV IgG-positive, followed by Rubella IgG-positive (47.8%, n=54). Rubella and toxoplasma IgM antibodies were least commonly found in cholestasis (8% and 7.1%, respectively). CMV IgG-positive status was noted to be older at the onset of jaundice. Infants with Rubella IgG-positive had less incidence of extrahepatic cholestasis (37.7% vs 62.3%) and liver fibrosis (39% vs 61%) (p<0.05). There was no difference in sex, birth weight, gestational age, AST, ALT, GGT, coagulation hemostasis, and abdominal USG abnormality based on torch serological markers (p>0.05). Conclusion: CMV infection mostly occurs in infants with cholestasis, followed by rubella infection. TORCH infection screening may be necessary in all infants with cholestasis.

Authors:   “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Clinical Psychiatry Hospital, Bucharest, Romania, Donisan Emilia
Published: February 2024

This study aims to understand the long-term outcomes of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, with a specific focus on hospital admissions and criteria for involuntary hospitalization. Conducted at the “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Clinical Psychiatry Hospital, Bucharest, between September 2022 and January 2023, our research analyzed data from 93 patients diagnosed with either schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. We employed descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), to examine differences in age, income, disease duration, hospital admissions, involuntary hospitalization days, and Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) scores. Descriptive statistics revealed that patients with bipolar disorder were older and had slightly higher education levels than those with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia patients reported higher incomes. Both groups exhibited similar disease durations, indicative of chronic disease courses. ANOVA results showed significant differences in the number of hospital admissions between the two groups (p = 0.028 when equal variances were not assumed), with schizophrenia patients experiencing more frequent hospitalizations. However, there were no significant differences in involuntary hospitalization days. Interestingly, CGI scores suggested higher perceived illness severity in bipolar disorder, although the results did not reach conventional statistical significance (p = 0.056 when variances were not assumed).

The need for a research methodology is not without reason because conducting research requires a systematic method, where with a research methodology a study can be accounted for because it has a fairly high level of credibility. Research methodology is the basis for a researcher to draw conclusions so that he can find reliable solutions to problems using scientific measurements. Initial observation results show that the research methods for students' theses in the Master of Education Management Study Program vary, but have not been identified so the direction of the trend is not known for certain. Meanwhile, information about trends in research methods and the factors that influence them is important information in curriculum development and the basis for program decision making related to efforts to improve academic quality in the Master of Education Management Study Program at Jambi University. This research aims to determine the trend of methods used by students in the Master of Education Management Study Program and the factors that influence them. The object of the research is the theses of students from the 2021 and 2022 Master of Education Management Study Program. The data was processed using non-test techniques through interviews, questionnaires and documentation, and then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The research results show that: 1) The research methods for students' theses at the Master of Education Management Study Program at Jambi University vary, including qualitative methods (case studies, document studies, centralized interviews, phenomenology) and quantitative methods (surveys); 2) The factors that determine a student's choice of research method are: thesis supervisor; competency in student understanding of research objects; and the influence of college friends.
Functionality and Deployment of Structures to Effect Balanced School Leadership: Narratives of School Principals
Authors: Tshabalala Thokolosi John , Jita Loyiso
Published: February 2024

This study set out to map the changing dynamics of school leadership in South Africa and the enormous challenges that go with it. The article explored the democratisation of schools since the advent of democracy in 1994 and how school principals are handling the devolution of powers as accounting officers. It further mapped out a few key themes on the structures available in schools meant to affect the changed policy framework in South African school leadership. Furthermore, it argued that different expectations are piled on school leadership and that the new policy framework has largely transformed the school principal’s work. Scholars warn that there is an unanticipated and largely unacknowledged consequence of this. It is so complex that it may have contradictory effects that impede rather than assist school improvement in South Africa. The study followed a qualitative approach, with a case study design, where the narratives of four purposively selected principals from two provinces of the Republic of South Africa, the Free State, and Gauteng, were compiled. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis over three months. The findings from the four case studies reflect a reigning confusion in schools regarding the deployment of structures. Furthermore, the findings showed a degree of misalignment of structures and their functionality. The study recommended reviewing the policy and the realignment of structures, focusing on their functions and demarcation of roles. This study draws the attention of education stakeholders to the importance of support and capacity building for school principals.The findings and recommendations of this study will impact scholarship in various ways that will in turn benefit school leadership across the globe.

Development of African Languages as the Medium of Instruction in Higher Education: From Policy to Practice
Authors: Mthombeni Zama Mabel
Published: February 2024

This study, using the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) as a key case study, critically examined the integration of African languages, specifically isiZulu, in South Africa’s higher education system. Employing a qualitative approach, the research conducted semi-structured interviews with lecturers and students while analysing relevant policies through a comprehensive examination of secondary data. The theoretical framework is grounded in sociolinguistics that focuses on diglossia—a linguistic phenomenon where two languages serve distinct functions in multilingual communities. The article engaged with the legacy of apartheid and colonialism, considering racial power differences that position African languages as inferior. The findings highlight the transformative role UKZN has embarked on of intellectualising isiZulu, challenging persistent misconceptions about the capacity of African languages to contribute to knowledge within higher education. The recommendations stressed the need for innovative teaching approaches, and robust support services for students engaging with academic content in African languages.

Published: February 2024

The recent Council on Higher Education report avers that Higher Education in South Africa experiences serious shortcomings in graduate output and outcomes. The report corroborated the general belief pervading existing research into students’ first-year university experiences. Students are unable to cope with the rigours of academics during this transition. Furthermore, research, especially from the field of psychology, also holds that first-year students struggle to succeed in their first year due to emotional and behavioural problems. However, this study argued that the transition from high school to university is a period characterised by mismatches and discontinuities in the lives of students. The purpose of this article was to investigate the mismatch and discontinuities, expressed as the articulation gap in the exposition of the article, experienced by first-year students at a university of technology. Data was drawn, using a cutting-edge qualitative instrument, from selected first-year B.Ed. students. The findings revealed that first-year students’ high school experiences are often not replayed at university. Students experience a myriad of new challenges which require new ways of learning (academic), and new ways of relating to peers (social challenges). The study recommended that universities need to engage in full orientation programmes to narrow the transition gap between high schools and universities. Universities should also provide ongoing programmes for mentoring, counselling and support services to help students navigate social and psychological challenges.

‘The Beauty of Our Hills Is Being Sacrificed’: Afforestation, Forestry and Colonial Environmentalism in British Hong Kong
Authors: HO VINCENT , HO NOVEM TSZ WING
Published: February 2024

This article examines the afforestation and tree protection efforts in Hong Kong during its colonial period from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Initially, the afforestation department adopted objectives in the 1870s purely for hygienic and urban planning purposes. Yet, with the support of the British Empire’s botanical network, the department successfully transformed Hong Kong Island into a verdant city by the turn of the twentieth century despite facing challenges. However, protecting afforested areas posed difficulties for the department as the local Chinese continuously damaged the trees in exchange for firewood, which was vital to their everyday life. In addition to this, the article also analyses the disputes that arose due to differing views on the usage of trees among the European community and the government in 1904–1905. These challenges forced the latter to abandon its profit-driven tree felling policy and became Hong Kong’s first tree conservation campaign.
Invisible Mountains? The Eastern and Southern Carpathians and their Environmental History (Fourteenth–Seventeenth Centuries)
Authors: TÓTH KATA
Published: February 2024

The environmental history of the pre-modern Eastern and Southern Carpathians is largely understudied, primarily due to the scarcity of sources. Also, since these mountains divided Moldavia and Wallachia from Transylvania, historians have regarded them as a political frontier. This article shows the possibilities of studying the Carpathians’ past environment while demonstrating short and long-term anthropogenic changes from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. It also offers a detailed overview of the extant sources that complement and confirm the results from palaeobotanical and dendrochronological studies. The Ottoman fiscal and commercial pressure on Moldavia and Wallachia as well as the emergence of Transylvania as an independent principality in the sixteenth century increased demand for grassland, fuelwood and timber, affecting the environment in the long run. The article shows that the Southern and Eastern Carpathians were well-integrated into the regional and superregional economy and the importance of their resources was not marginal.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE DRIVERS AT THE COUNTRY LEVEL: A ROBUST COMPROMISE MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION-MAKING APPROACH
Authors: Wanke Peter , Tan Yong , Antunes Jorge , Emrouznejad Ali
Published: February 2024

This paper focuses on the performance drivers of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) at the country level, exploring the socio-demographic specifics of donor and receiver countries. To this end, a novel Robust Compromise (RoCo) Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model is proposed using non-linear programming solved by genetic algorithms. The model builds upon established traditional models for alternative ranking and criteria weighting. Subsequently, a stochastic robust regression is performed, building upon previously computed bootstrapped Tobit, Simplex, and Beta regressions to handle performance scores ranging between 0 and 1. The goal is to test FDI performance against a set of contextual variables. The findings suggest that the performance of FDI is relatively low, and relevant improvements should be made. Our second stage analysis reports that higher GDP per capita and good social welfare, including lower infant mortality and higher life expectancy, contribute to the improvement in FDI performance. Furthermore, it is found that a large percentage of women in the total population, wealth concentration in the destination country, as well as the degree of urbanization, are helpful to improve FDI performance. Finally, we find that FDI performance is mainly concentrated on industries that are high-tech and high value-added.

The galaxy cluster A746 (z = 0.214), featuring a double radio relic system, two isolated radio relics, a possible radio halo, disturbed V-shaped X-ray emission, and intricate galaxy distributions, is a unique and complex merging system. We present a weak-lensing analysis of A746 based on wide-field imaging data from Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam observations. The mass distribution is characterized by a main peak, which coincides with the center of the X-ray emission. At this main peak, we detect two extensions toward the north and west tracing the cluster galaxy and X-ray distributions. Despite the ongoing merger, our estimate of the A746 global mass M
500 = 4.4 ± 1.0 × 1014
M
⊙ is consistent with the previous results from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and X-ray observations. We conclude that reconciling the distributions of mass, galaxies, and intracluster medium with the double radio relic system and other radio features remains challenging.

We present high-definition observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of >1000 Cepheids in a geometric anchor of the distance ladder, NGC 4258, and in five hosts of eight Type Ia supernovae, a far greater sample than previous studies with JWST. These galaxies individually contain the largest samples of Cepheids, an average of >150 each, producing the strongest statistical comparison to those previously measured with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the near-infrared (NIR). They also span the distance range of those used to determine the Hubble constant with HST, allowing us to search for a distance-dependent bias in HST measurements. The superior resolution of JWST negates crowding noise, the largest source of variance in the NIR Cepheid period–luminosity relations (Leavitt laws) measured with HST. Together with the use of two epochs to constrain Cepheid phases and three filters to remove reddening, we reduce the dispersion in the Cepheid P–L relations by a factor of 2.5. We find no significant difference in the mean distance measurements determined from HST and JWST, with a formal difference of −0.01 ± 0.03 mag. This result is independent of zero-points and analysis variants including metallicity dependence, local crowding, choice of filters, and slope of the relations. We can reject the hypothesis of unrecognized crowding of Cepheid photometry from HST that grows with distance as the cause of the “Hubble tension” at 8.2σ, i.e., greater confidence than that of the Hubble tension itself. We conclude that errors in photometric measurements of Cepheids across the distance ladder do not significantly contribute to the tension.

BACKGROUND: Prevention and control of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in Malaysia remain a challenge, especially among aborigine and rural population. Despite several community-based reports, there are lacking national data on the overall prevalence for STH infection.
AIM: The study aimed to determine the prevalence, endemic species, and distribution and risk zones (RZs) for STH infections in Malaysia through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the data published between 1999 and 2019.
METHODS: This study employed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The databases used in this review include SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE, OVID MEDLINE, and PUBMED. The random-effects model determined the pooled prevalence estimate (PPE) while Cochran’s Q-test evaluated the heterogeneity.
RESULTS: A total of 13240 samples were examined during the period under review with 6235 were infected with one or more species of STHs. The overall PPE for STH infections was 51% (95% Confidence interval [CI]: 34, 67). PPEs for sub-groups ranged between 13% (95% CI: 5, 22) and 69% (95% CI: 50, 87). Highest PPEs for STH infections were observed among aborigine children (69% 95% CI: 50, 87). Trichuris trichiura was the most prevalent species (46%, 95% CI: 27, 65). Over 46% (17/37) of the studies, especially among aborigine community and their area showed high-HRZ for STH infections.
CONCLUSION: STH infections involving T. trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworms and Strongyloides stercoralis are highly prevalent among aborigine community. Primary and secondary prevention such as the use of anthelmintic, health education, and adequate sanitation was essential in the control of these infections in Malaysia to improve individual and community health.
New genus of the family Laophontidae T. Scott, 1905 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) from Hupo on the eastern coast of Korea

The Laophontidae is a very large and diverse family containing more than 320 species and 74 genera in the Harpacticoida. According to records published until recently, 25 species of 12 genera of Laophontidae were reported to appear in Korean waters. The most common laophontid species in Korean waters is Paralaophonte congenera (Sars, 1908). During research on the meiobenthic community in the subtidal zone near the Korean coast in the East Sea, we found an undescribed genus of the Laophontidae family. The character traits of this undescribed specimen of the Laophontidae family do not match any existing genus.

Herein, a new genus of the interstitial marine benthic copepods family Laophontidae T. Scott, 1905 is described from the subtidal zone near Hupo Harbour on the east coast of Korea. This genus was named Strictlaophonte gen. nov. and has been classified into the family Laophontidae. This was based on the presence of seven segmented female antennules, reduced antennary exopod, first endopodal segments having no inner setae from the second leg to the fourth leg and P5 with a distinct exopod that is not fused at the basis. The distinguishing features of Strictlaophonte gen. nov. are P5 exopod having only four setae, the P1 exopod having two segments and the antenna exopod having four setae. In particular, this new genus has unique characteristics in that the caudal rami are very tightly attached to each other.
