Teaching and learning about teaching and learning: The Mastery Rubric for the Master Level (MR-ML)
Authors: Tractenberg Rochelle E.
Published: August 2019

The Mastery Rubric is a curriculum development and evaluation tool. It articulates the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) of a given curriculum, together with the developmental trajectory that learning these KSAs is intended to follow. Mastery Rubrics have focused on graduate and post-graduate curricula, and utilize the European Guild Structure for staging growth and development of KSAs. Bloom’s taxonomy is also essential for describing the performance, and performance levels, in each stage. A defining characteristic of the Mastery Rubric is the Master level: the Master is qualified, with evidence, to take a learner from novice through to Master. However, the transition from competent independent performer of a set of KSAs to Master is not addressed in any of the Mastery Rubrics to date. This article describes three levels through which any instructor can progress in order to generate evidence they are qualified at the Master level for any Mastery Rubric, even those that have already been published to include a (single) Master level. These three levels describe the evidence that can be observed to represent early, middle, and late Master capabilities in terms of teaching, and assessing learning, in students and trainees. Two new Mastery Rubrics (MRs) have recently been completed, and neither has a Master level: one for Bioinformatics (MR-Bi) and one for the Nurse Practitioner (NR-NP). Although this new Mastery Rubric for the Master Level (MR-ML) can be used with all of the existing Mastery Rubrics to characterize the development of the Master’s engagement with theories and practicalities of learning, we use the MR-Bi and MR-NP to illustrate how the MR-ML can work with these two new MRs, and how individuals in any field can compile their evidence of the specific abilities to diagnose problems exhibited by those at earlier stages, devise remediating activities for those problems, and assess the result.
A Comparative Study Of Surgical Outcome In Different Approaches For Hysterectomy
Authors: Tamrakar Suman Raj
Published: August 2019

Introduction: Globally, hysterectomy has been the commonest gynecologic surgery since a long time. One of the most remarkable innovations in surgery has been the changeover from laparotomy to laparoscopy. The first reported laparoscopic hysterectomy was in 1989 by Harry Reich, for endometriosis. As laparoscopic procedure has various important advantages over laparotomy, it has become a preferred surgical method. But open hysterectomy or laparoscopic hysterectomy has been chosen based on various factors and the surgeon's experience and skill. Earlier hysterectomies were done in conventional way at Kathmandu University Hospital. But Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy were started from 2011 and 2015 respectively.

Method: This retrospective study was undertaken to compare the demographic parameters, operative particulars, postoperative outcomes including complications of different hysterectomy approaches done from 2011 to 2018 at Kathmandu University Hospital.

Result: A total of 756 hysterectomy cases with 461 of open hysterectomy and 295 of laparoscopic hysterectomy were done in over 8 years. There was no significant difference in mean age of patients who underwent different types of hysterectomies (46.29±6.50 and 45.52±8.15 years, p=0.6829). There was significant increase in Brahmin/Chhetri caste seeking laparoscopic hysterectomy (p=0.0001) and significant decrease in other janajati caste undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy (p=0.0004). The indications of different type of hysterectomy were almost comparable; with fibroids/adenomyosis (49.7%) followed by abnormal uterine bleeding (19.7%) were common indications. Laparoscopic hysterectomies have significantly increased since 2016. There were significant differences in operating time, blood loss and hospital stay between open and laparoscopic hysterectomy cases with 143.63±43.25 vs 67.56±25.75 minutes, 294.78±51.37 vs 470.24±102.99 ml and 2.61±0.66 vs 5.64±0.69 days respectively (all p<0.0001). There were 30 major complications in open and 10 in laparoscopic hysterectomy respectively with 9 minor complications in both. Eleven laparoscopy cases (3.7%) had to be converted to laparotomy.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic hysterectomies are possible with equivalent advantages. A good laparoscopic experiences for surgeons and a careful selection of the cases are the obligatory prerequisites.
Study Of Vaginal Microflora In Cases Of Preterm Prelabour Rupture (PPROM): A Case Control Study
Authors: Mahaseth Binod Kumar , B.C. Durga
Published: August 2019

Background: Globally, Preterm delivery is a major contributory factor for early neonatal death. Till date definite causative factor for preterm labour has not been proven. However, the genital tract infection is considered to be the contributory factors for PPROM.

Method: This case control study was conducted at Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur. 100 cases enrolled in the study were divided into two groups; group A consisted of 50 cases with PPROM; and in group B 50 cases were included cases without PPROM who came to routine antenatal check-up in ANC (antenatal care) clinic. The high vaginal swab was taken from the upper one-third of the posterior wall of the vagina and sent for culture and sensitivity in all cases.

Results: In group A (with PPROM)74% of cases were culture positive and the commonest organism was E. coli which was isolated in 40% (20/50). In group B (without PROM) 28% of cases had culture positive, and again the commonest organism was E. coli isolated in 14 % cases (7/50). This present study showed that E. coli was most sensitive to amoxyclav and staphylococcus epidermis was most sensitive to nitrofurantoin. Ceftriaxone was found to be most effective in mixed infections.

Conclusions: The genital tract infections in PPROM group was very high (+ve) culture in 74% in comparison to the non PPROM group where genital tract swab showed growth in only 28% (p-value 0.001). The lower genital tract infection has been considered as one of the potent cause of PPROM, so it is advised that a vaginal swab should be routinely obtained in the ANC clinic for culture and sensitivity. An appropriate antibiotic should be started in culture positive cases.
A Protocol on in Vitro Propagation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi using Root Organ Culture Technique
Authors: Aryal Hari Prasad
Published: August 2019

The technique of in vitro propagation of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi has been developed over the past few decades and opens up areas of studying plant-fungi interactions. It is a scientific break through, especially for the study of the Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, since these obligate symbionts depend on host plant. The objective of this paper is to find out the in vitro culture of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi using Root Organ Culture technique. Ascertain of root colonization of these fungi could be affected in vitro without undertaking complex and complicated culture conditions. This could form an economically viable technique for root organ culture of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
A Study on Maxima and Minima for Single Real Valued Function
Authors: Pokhrel Jagat Krishna
Published: August 2019

By the maximum values of a function f (x) in calculus, we do not necessarily mean the absolutely greatest value attainable by the function. A function f (x) is said to be maximum for a value c of x, provided f (c) is greater than every other value assumed by f (x) in the immediate neighbourhood of x = c. Similarly a minimum value of f (x) is defined to be the value which is less than other values in the immediate neighbourhood.
New Towns Development: A Wave of the Future Planning Practices in Nepal
Authors: Dahal Kedar , Timalsina Krishna Prasad
Published: August 2019

Increasing urbanization has been a major challenge to tackle issues relating to population growth, housing, infrastructure development and urban management in Nepal. Initiatives have been taking by the stakeholders of urban sectors in different course of action plans. New town development, smart city development, preparation and implementation of various strategic plans and action plans are some of the initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of Nepal. At present, the Ministry of Urban Development is preparing intervening plans and programmes to 40 towns for planned urban development in Nepal. Some of these towns are already in pace of development and some others are in infancy stages. Balance urban development strategy so far is a strategy of government of Nepal however theory of political economy of development is inherently coming in selection of the towns, and basically in implementing the plans. Therefore, most of the prepared action plans are in question of effective implementation. Among the prioritized new towns of Nepal, some of these towns particularly smart cities are in very infancy stages of infrastructure development in which ‘smartness’ itself falls into huge dilemma. Therefore, more challenges are added in implementing the smart cities into action plan. However, new towns of Hilly and Tarai-Madhesh area will definitely provide the opportunities to cater population and create more opportunities. In this context, this study focus on the new town development and their spatial distribution in Nepal through the collection of primary information and review of previous literature.

Understanding the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative: A Multidisciplinary Analysis
Authors: Preston-Roedder Erica , Fagen Hannah , Martucci Jessica , Barnhill Anne
Published: August 2019

In the United States, roughly one in four births occurs in a certified Baby-Friendly hospital. This paper offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), including empirical, normative, and historical perspectives. Our analysis is novel in tracing how medical practices of “quality improvement,” which have received little attention in breastfeeding literature, may have shaped the BFHI. Ultimately, we demonstrate that a rich understanding of the BFHI can be obtained by tracing how norms of gender/motherhood interact with, and are supplemented by, other normative, historical, and institutional realities. We conclude with suggestions for practical revisions to the BFHI.
Family for Life and Death: Family Presence during Resuscitation
Authors: Lederman Zohar
Published: August 2019

The dilemma of whether to allow relatives to see or even touch their loved one while she undergoes cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been discussed for roughly four decades. However, Family Presence During Adult Resuscitation (FPDR) is still not widely implemented. In this paper, I espouse relational autonomy to make a case for a clinical approach of family-centered care and FPDR. In recent years, family-centered care (FCC) has gained increasing support. I argue that relational autonomy provides a conceptual framework for both FCC and FPDR. In turn, FCC provides a plausible clinical approach to justify FPDR, while the empirical evidence that supports FPDR provides a useful example to justify FCC.
"The Master Plan is a Master Killer"
Authors: Wayessa Gutu Olana
Published: August 2019

English abstract: Land is a key resource and an epicenter of struggle in Ethiopia, as indicated by the incident that sparked a powerful protest in Oromia in 2015. The protest quickly galvanized against the Addis Ababa Master Plan, which government officials represented as a “development plan,” while the protesters counter-framed it as a “Master Killer,” highlighting the immanent risks of land dispossession and displacement of people. This article employs a political-ecological approach to examine environmental, socio-cultural, and political-economic implications of the Master Plan and the resistance against it as a signifier of wider issues of contestation connected to land and displacement. It highlights contemporary grievances of the Oromo people in relation to unresolved historical questions and outlines the responses of the government to the protest.

Spanish abstract:

La tierra es un recurso clave y un epicentro de lucha en Etiopía. En el 2015 surgió una poderosa protesta en Oromia contra el Plan Maestro de Addis Abeba, presentado por el gobierno como un “plan de desarrollo”, mientras que los manifestantes lo enmarcaron como un “Asesino Maestro”, destacando los inminentes riesgos de la desposesión de tierras y el desplazamiento de personas. Este artículo emplea un enfoque político-ecológico para examinar las implicaciones ambientales, socioculturales y político-económicas del Plan Maestro y la resistencia en su contra como resultado de temas más amplios de disputa relacionados con la tierra y el desplazamiento. Destaca las quejas contemporáneas de la gente de Oromo en relación con preguntas históricas no resueltas y describe las respuestas del gobierno a la protesta.

French abstract:

La terre est une ressource clef et un motif central de conflit en Éthiopie. Les circonstances actuelles du pays accentuent cette tendance historique. En témoigne la protestation des Oromos contre le Programme Directeur d’Addis-Abeba que les fonctionnaires présentent comme un programme de développement alors que les protestataires le désignent comme “un maître-tueur”, en pointant les risques de dépossession de la terre et de déplacement de populations qui lui sont inhérents. Cet article utilise une approche d’écologie politique pour examiner ses implications dans le sens d’une protestation autour de la terre et du déplacement. Il analyse le programme directeur et la protestation des Oromos dans le cadre des principes idéologiques et structurels du gouvernement, de ses politiques et de ses pratiques.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to determine if the apical vertebra (AV) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most rotated vertebra in the scoliotic segment.

METHODS

A total of 158 patients with AIS (Cobb angle range 20°–101°) underwent biplanar radiography with 3D reconstructions of the spine and calculation of vertebral axial rotations. The type of major curvature was recorded (thoracic, thoracolumbar, or lumbar), and both major and minor curvatures were included. The difference of levels (DL) between the level of maximal vertebral rotation (LMVR) and the AV was calculated as follows: DL = 0 if LMVR and AV were the same, DL = 1 if LMVR was directly above or below the AV, and DL = 2 if LMVR was separated by 1 vertebra or more from the AV. To investigate which factors explained the divergence of the LMVR from the AV, multinomial models were computed.

RESULTS

The distribution of the DL was as follows: for major curvatures, 143 were DL = 0, 11 were DL = 1, and 4 were DL = 2; and for minor curvatures, 53 were DL = 0, 9 were DL = 1, and 31 were DL = 2. The determinants of a DL = 2 (compared with DL = 0) were lumbar curvature (compared with thoracic; adjusted OR 0.094, p = 0.001), major curvature (compared with minor; adjusted OR 0.116, p = 0.001), and curvatures with increasing apical vertebral rotation (adjusted OR 0.788, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

This study showed that the AV is the most rotated vertebra in the majority of major curvatures, while in minor curvatures, the most rotated vertebra appears to be the junctional vertebra between major and minor curvatures in a significant proportion of cases.
Lipopolysaccharide-Binding Protein, Soluble CD14, and the Long-Term Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Nested Case-Control Pilot Study of Older Community Dwellers from the Three-City Cohort

Published: August 2019

Background:

Identifying the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains crucially important. Chronic age-related low-grade inflammation is considered to be one such mechanism, although its causes are unclear. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-type endotoxins, a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, are known as potent pro-inflammatory molecules. Therefore, we hypothesized that greater exposure to circulating LPS, potentially mediated by the inflammatory pathway, would be a key step of the onset of AD.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate the link between plasma endotoxin-exposure, inflammation, and AD.

Methods:

Applying a nested case-control design, we evaluated the associations among baseline plasma endotoxin-exposure (assessed by measuring LPS-binding protein (LBP) and soluble cluster of differentiation-14 (sCD14) levels), inflammation (assessed by measuring interleukin-6 (IL6) levels), and the odds of developing AD over 12 years. Selected from a population-based cohort, 212 incident cases of AD were matched with 424 controls without dementia with regard to age, gender, and education level.

Results:

After adjusting for a large set of confounders, including the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, only higher LBP levels were significantly associated with a 30% higher odds of developing AD over 12 years (OR 1.30, 95% CIs [1.07–1.59]), regardless of IL6 levels.

Conclusion:

This large case-control study provides preliminary results concerning plasma endotoxin-exposure among the elderly and suggests that higher LBP levels, an acute-phase reactant involved in the pro-inflammatory response to LPS, are associated with higher odds of developing AD.

Published: August 2019

Neuroinflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, and the transcription factor NF- κB is a player in this event. We found here that the ischemic damage alone or in association with Aβ1-42 activates the NF- κB pathway, induces an increase of BACE1 and a parallel inhibition of Uch-L1 and TREM2, both in vitro and in vivo, in Tg 5XFAD and in human brains of sporadic AD. This mechanism creates a synergistic loop that fosters inflammation. We also demonstrated a significant protection exerted by the restoration of Uch-L1 activity. The rescue of the enzyme is able to abolish the decrease of TREM2 and the parameters of neuroinflammation.

Published: August 2019

Pengembangan dan penggunaan energi terbarukan merupakan kebutuhan penting di masa depan demi meminimalisir emisi karbon dan untuk membatasi perubahan suhu rata-rata global. Energi terbarukan yang dapat digunakan salah satunya adalah energi surya. Pemanfaatan energi matahari ini dapat dilakukan melalui energi listrik yaitu menggunakan teknologi dengan Solar Cell. Sel surya atau solar cell dapat mengkonversi energi cahaya matahari menjadi energi listrik. Salah satu kendala dalam konversi energi surya adalah kurang optimalnya penerimaan energi matahari akibat penempatan solar cell yang hanya menghadap satu arah saja atau bersifat statis. Maka dari itu, perlu dibuatnya suatu sistem yang dapat memodifikasi solar cell selalu mengikuti arah bergeraknya cahaya matahari. Energi yang dihasilkan dari solar cell akan maksimal apabila solar tracker selalu tegak lurus terhadap arah datangnya sinar matahari. Pada alat ini dibuat solar tracker menggunakan mikrokontroler Arduino Uno dalam mengendalikan pergerakan dari motor servo, motor stepper dan sensor LDR dalam mengikuti pergerakan cahaya matahari. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa daya yang diperoleh Solar Panel yang mengikuti pergerakan cahaya matahari (Solar Tracker) lebih besar dibandingkan dengan Solar Panel pada posisi tetap. Produksi energi pada sistem dinamis dengan menggunakan servo 33% lebih besar dibandingkan dengan statis, sedangkan yang menggunakan stepper 36% lebih besar daripada solar cell dengan kondisi statis.

Published: August 2019

Community empowerment programs to tackle pulmonary TB have never been implemented in South Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Difficulties in designing interventions related to the socio-cultural community are one of the reasons. This study aims to understand people's perceptions of pulmonary TB health and disease and understand how the community prevents pulmonary TB. Qualitative research was carried out through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Participants were chosen purposively based on socioeconomic status, community / religious / adat leaders, and community health center officials, and government health officials. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The results of the analysis summarize the eight categories of statements that most often appear, namely: (1) Pulmonary TB is a dangerous disease; (2) the causes of pulmonary TB disease; (3) stigma related to pulmonary TB; (4) pulmonary TB treatment; (5) prevention of pulmonary TB; (6) information sources; (7) the role of community / religious / adat leaders; and (8) community action patterns. These eight categories are grouped into three domain structures, namely: (1) people's perception of pulmonary TB disease; (2) how to prevent pulmonary TB; and (3) health promotion strategies. The theme of deliberation, consensus, cooperation, and harmony that is identical to Dalihan Na Tolu's philosophy emerged as the perception of the people of South Tapanuli towards pulmonary TB disease.

Published: August 2019

Traditional Chinese and Iranian medicine are ancient medical and health care systems that still forms an important part of diagnosis and treatment systems in Iran, China and other parts of the world. The integration of these two systems and modern biomedicine is also an important issue. Iranian and Chinese traditional medicines recommended for health promotion and well-being. Chinese herbal drugs have been described by medieval Muslim medical scholars such as Tabari, Rhazes, Haly Abbas, Avicenna and Jurjani (1137 CE). Traditional Chinese and Iranian medicine play an important role in sustainable agriculture and food systems, it also offers a holistic approach to prevent diseases while making appropriate use of organic and herbal products especially growth by small-scale family farmers.

Published: August 2019

Maintaining proper hygiene during menstruation prevents certain reproductive illnesses. For female athletes, they need to put an extra effort to keep themselves healthy at this time because of their daily strenuous activities. In this study, we assessed the level of knowledge, attitude and practices about menstrual hygiene management among adolescent trainee athletes. A cross-sectional study was carried out among adolescent trainee athletes from BKSP. Samples were chosen conveniently from different sports departments. In total, 143 Female athletes who regularly menstruate were included. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to determine the level of knowledge, attitude and practices and their associated factors. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare means of outcome variables. The mean ± SD age of our participant was 14.31 ± 1.48. Majority of the participants were scared during their first menstruation (39.9%). Mothers were the main source of information (84.6%). Majority of the participants had poor knowledge (56.6%) and practices (68.5%) while the level of attitude was good (67.1) regarding menstruation. Age-group was associated with knowledge score (p=0.034) regarding menstruation while family income was associated with attitude (p=0.014). Educational level of father was associated with both knowledge (p=0.049) and attitude (p=0.010). Poor level of knowledge and practices were observed among the survey respondents, though the level of attitude was satisfactory. Mothers were the primary source of information regarding menstrual hygiene. It is important to provide menstrual hygiene education to the young athletes from a reliable and formal source.

Colonization of experimentally arranged resource patches - a case study of fungivorous beetles
Authors: Sverdrup-Thygeson Anne
Published: August 2019

The study focuses on a colonization experiment of beetles, using sporocarps of tinder fungus Fomes fomentarius. Initially, a mapping of all sporocarps of F. fomentarius and its inhabitants was made in a 225 ha area of boreal forest in southern Norway (control dataset). 62% of the sporocarps contained one or more beetle individuals. Experimental sporocarps were then placed out for three years, collected and dissected. 21% of these were colonized. The comparison between control and experiment showed that species assemblages were rather similar. Successful between-tree colonization and reproduction in experimental sporocarps by the darkling beetle Bolitophagus reticulatus was observed. Cis jacquemartii colonized 14% of the experimental sporocarps, and there was no effect of distance from known dispersal sources on colonization for this species. This indicates that C. jacquemartii was well able to locate and colonize new substrate within the scale covered in the study.

We experimentally tested the impact of browsing, defecation and urination corresponding to four different levels of moose population density on abundance and number of eco-morphological groups of soil mesofauna in a Swedish boreal forest. The study was carried out in three fenced exclosures representing different levels of productivity (from nutrient-rich to nutrient-poor). Moose impact on soil communities was evaluated by analysing abundance, richness and diversity of mesofaunal groups, and by means of a multi-taxa index based on ecomorphological groups, the Biological Soil Quality index (QBS). There was a negative impact of high moose densities on the abundance and richness of soil mesofauna. Furthermore, low-moderate moose densities had a positive impact on abundance and number of eco-morphological groups. We conclude that moose can have a large impact on soil-living mesofauna, and therefore probably soil decomposition processes and biological soil quality, in young boreal forest stands.
Effects of nitrogen on bionomics and food consumption of Cabera pusaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Authors: Kula Emanuel , Pešlová Alena , Martinek Petr , Mazal Pavel
Published: August 2019

Birches, Betula pendula Roth, grown in pots were fertilized with ammonium nitrate (NH4 NO3) in the amounts of 0 g, 0.5 g, 1 g and 1.5 g per plant four times per season on moist soil surface with subsequent gradual dissolution by watering. Cabera pusaria caterpillars from laboratory w ere fed on leaves with different content of nitrogen (19.2 - 47.4 mg×g-1 ). The excessive content of nitrogen in food appeared to be a stress factor as it increased mortality and development time of the caterpillars, decreased food consumption and weight of larvae and pupae, and caused anomalies at pupation. This is as expected for a summer-feeding caterpillar feeding on foliage with seasonally decreasing concentration of nitrogen.

An event of underground predation on a wintering caudate amphibian by a carabid beetle
Authors: Bernard Rafal , Samoląg Juliusz
Published: August 2019

Pterostichus niger (Coleoptera: Carabidae) preying on Lissotriton vulgaris (Caudata: Salamandridae) in complete darkness and fairly low ambient temperatures was recorded in mid-winter in the underground fortifications near Strzaliny, NW Poland, confirming the occurrence of the predation on small caudate amphibians by carabid beetles in natural conditions. The long but successful predatory event, being a result of sharing the same shelter, revealed the opportunistic predispositions of that generalist predator in a situation in which its typical prey was absent. This suggested that small amphibians may be a source of food for carabids, even for only moderately large species, in late autumn and winter shelters.

First record of an indoor pest sawtoothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) from wild outdoor wood ant nest
Authors: Sorvari Jouni , Härkönen Salla K. , Vesterinen Eero J.
Published: August 2019

Alive individual adult sawtoothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758) was discovered inside a nest mound of the red wood ant Formica rufa Linnaeus, 1758 during a survey of myrmecophilous invertebrates. The sawtoothed grain beetle is a widespread indoor pest that has not previously been found in an ant nest. It is one of the most common pests in stored grain and cereal products, but the natural life-style of the species is not known. As the site of discovery was exceptional, we verified the species identification using the DNA barcode. If the sawtoothed grain beetle can live in mounds of red wood ants, the mounds may become widespread source habitats for the future infestations of this serious stored product pest.

Authors: Vainikainen Vesa , Itämies Juhani , Pulliainen Erkki , Tunkkari Paavo
Published: August 2019

The study was carried out in the Vaniotunturi fell area (67°44'N, 29°37 'E) under northern taiga forest conditions. The habitat, a Pinus heath is extremely poor and monotonous. Altogether 196 pitfall traps 10 metres apart (Ø 8.5 cm, height 10.3 cm, with a lid 5 cm above the trap) arranged in a quadrat were used in 1991, and the same field with an additional40 traps placed one trap at each end of a two-metre wall was used from 1992 to 1994. The individuals of Carabus glabratus were marked with a small label cut off from a traffic sign sticker in 1991 and 1992. Only these captured and marked ones were recorded in the following years. In 1994 the trapping was done by killing the beetles. 524 individuals were marked. Males dominated in both years. The recapture proportion was significantly higher for the beetles marked in 1992 than for those of the previous year. The marked beetles were recaptured within four days on average. The estimated maximal population size in 1991 was 1400 individuals, occurring at the beginning of July, while in 1992 it was 3000 exx., in the middle of June. About 15% of the beetles marked in 1991 were caught at least once during the year of marking. Two years after marking, the proportion of recaptures decreased to 2%, but one male marked in 1991 was still captured in 1994.
Current Status of Ips amitinus Eichh. (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) in North-West Russia
Authors: Mandelshtam Mikhail
Published: August 2019

Through continuous range expansion the eight-toothed bark beetle Ips amitinus Eichh. has colonized the whole St.Petersburg region and now is nearly as common as Ips typographus L. though less numerous. Valamo archipelago is the only spruce-forest territory not yet colonized by I. amitinus. Data strongly suggest that the most probable route for invasion of I. amitinus to Finland was the route from Estonia bypassing the Gulf of Finland, through the St.Petersburg area and the Isthmus Karelicus. Also new captures of the species more than 300 kilometres to the south-east of previously known occurrences are recorded.

Scythris saarelai sp. n. from southern Spain and further records of Scythris mariannae Bengtsson, 1991 with a new synonym (Lepidoptera: Scythrididae)
Authors: Nupponen Kari , Nupponen Timo
Published: August 2019

Scythris saarelai sp. n. is described from southern Spain. Three males and two females were collected by net in late March and early April 1998 on hot, dry slopes in two different localities. The small, dark moth is difficult to separate from many other scythridids without examining the genitalia.

Three further specimens (2 ♂♂, 1 ♀) of Scythris mariannae Bengtsson, 1991, a species previously known only by the male holotype, were found in Spain, prov. Malaga. The external appearance of these specimens differs from the habitus of the holotype. However, the male genitalia are identical. The examination of the female genitalia was showed that Scythris annae Bengtsson, 1997 syn. n. is a junior synonym of S. mariannae.
