Papaya is a seasonal fruit that is rich in water content and has a relatively short shelf life. Nowadays, people's interest in consuming fruit directly after it is ripe is relatively low because some of them don't like fruit. For this reason, it is necessary to innovate fruit-based products, as an effort to overcome the problem of lack of fruit consumption. This article discusses "PAYA BITES", an entrepreneurial venture that presents papaya crackers as an innovative snack product made from papaya with a variety of contemporary flavors. In this activity, the method used was training (socialization) aimed at 41 members of the Islamic Physics Study Forum (FKIF) at Semarang State University. This activity aims to be a form of education and training for FKIF UNNES members in processing papaya fruit into papaya crackers and has the potential to be marketed to the general public. The result of this training is to provide knowledge and convenience for FKIF UNNES members in processing papaya fruit into papaya crackers which have so far been underutilized so that they become a more valuable commodity

Published: September 2024

Skin disorders are diseases often found in the community caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and marine life characterized by rashes, itching, and others. Traditional fishermen are a group of people at high risk of skin disorders due to exposure to seawater, unhygienic working environment conditions, incomplete behaviour of using fishermen's protective equipment when working and personal hygiene behaviour classified as harmful. This study aims to analyze skin disorders among traditional fishermen in Tanjung Balai, Asahan District. The research employs a quantitative, analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in Tanjung Balai, Asahan District, from August 2023 to March 2024. The research population consisted of all traditional fishermen, totalling 110, 110 traditional fishermen, with the sample taken based on the total population of 110 fishermen in Tanjung Balai, Asahan District. The sampling technique used was total sampling. Data collection was conducted using using questionnaires that have been tested for validity, reliability, and observation. Data analysis involved two steps: univariate analysis using descriptive statistics and frequencies and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test with a significance level of 95% (p-value ≤ 0.05). The statistical analysis results indicated significant associations between skin disorders and factors such as duration of work (p=0.001), use of personal protective equipment (p=0.038), and fishermen's hygiene (p=0.014). It is recommended that traditional fishermen use complete personal protective equipment and maintain better personal hygiene after working to prevent the occurrence of skin disorders.

Social Media as a Source of Information for the Detection of Adverse Drug Reactions in Post-Marketing Surveillance: A Review
Authors: Nezhurina E. K. , Milchakov K. S. , Abramova A. A.
Published: September 2024

INTRODUCTION. With the development of the Internet and the increasing availability of social networks and fora, patients have received an opportunity to share their medication experiences online. According to the guidelines on Good Pharmacovigilance Practices, social media can be considered an important additional source of patient-derived information in post-marketing surveillance, but the effectiveness of their use in detecting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is still being investigated.

AIM. This study aimed to analyse the results of relevant original studies and assess the potential of using social networks and online patient fora as a source of information on ADRs associated with the use of medicinal products.

DISCUSSION. Published studies indicate that posts on  social  networks  and  patient  fora  describe  both  minor and serious ADRs, including new ADRs. The relevance of social media as a source of information about the safety of a medicinal product varies depending on several factors, including the medicinal product class and time on the market, as well as the platform demographics. Young users (18–44 years) are interested in online discussions about medicinal products for mental and reproductive system disorders. Users aged 45–64 years tend to discuss the use of medicinal products for chronic pain (including muscle pain), menopause, and gastritis. Discussions among users over 65 years old predominantly focus on medicinal products for diabetes, heart conditions, and muscle pain. People are much more likely to describe ADRs associated with the use of medicinal products for orphan diseases and cancer on fora for patients than on social networks in general, and vice versa for ADRs associated with the use of medicinal products for mental disorders. In addition, social media may be of interest as a source of information about cases of overdose, misuse and off-label use of medicinal products, and use of medicinal products during pregnancy and lactation.

CONCLUSIONS. Social media can be a source of valuable information about the safety of medicinal products and the impact of ADRs on the quality of patients’ lives. Marketing authorisation holders can obtain new information about the safety of medicinal products by extending their  safety  monitoring  strategies  to  include social media. Nevertheless, since the relevance of a particular social network or patient forum for the detection of ADR cases varies considerably, a preliminary assessment is necessary to ascertain the presence of information on the medicinal product of interest.
Women Writers’ Perspective on War
Authors: Bobičić Nađa
Published: September 2024

This article presents a comparative analysis of a specific corpus that centers around women writers (translators and artists) as heroines, within the so-called ‘female continent’ in the post-Yugoslav fiction (a concept defined by Tijana Matijević in 2020). The analysis is centered around three different generations of women writers’ perspectives on the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, in three contemporary novels published in the 2010s: Svetlana Slapšak’s Ravnoteža (2016, Engl. Equilibrium), Ivančica Đerić’s Nesreća i stvarne potrebe (2012, Engl. Misfortune and Real Needs), and Lana Bastašić’s Uhvati zeca (2018; Engl. translation Catch the Rabbit, 2021). The comparative analysis is done with respect to three ‘circles’ of interpretation: a) the literature on anti-war women’s writing; b) the literature on the theme of exile in post-Yugoslav fiction and c) the literature on the history of anti-war feminist organizing during the nineties.
“The Sun Doesn’t Shine Like in ’85”
Authors: Nenić Iva
Published: September 2024

The legacy of Yugoslav music re-emerged in Serbia and in the wider post-Yugoslav cultural space during the 2000s, as the historical distance and growing dissatisfaction with capitalism led artists to reach out to the Yugoslav socialist past. This has taken many directions, from the reigniting of fandom of ex-Yugoslav music stars and the creation of tribute bands, to the renewal of interest in songs from World War ii and the composition of new music echoing Yugoslav memories and re-framing Yugoslav popular songs in the broader field of contemporary artistic practices. Most socio-musical formations and cultural scenes that have been fashioned after the break of Yugoslavia either rearticulated and incorporated particular sound legacies strongly associated with Yugoslav socialism or emulated its ‘ethos’ by contrasting the present with ideas and practices of Socialist Yugoslav society. The author will focus on female performers and authors, as well on the smaller socio-musical and artistic contexts related to the feminist movement. By acknowledging, comparing and interpreting the contributions of female and feminist artists / activists in Serbia who use music as a tools for social critique, the article offers an insight into a complex intersection between gender, ideology, and politics of remembrance ‘after Yugoslavia’.
“What Is Your Price?”
Authors: Glajar Valentina
Published: September 2024

This article focuses on the Cold War operation “Retrieval,” a ransoming agreement between West Germany and communist Romania. It engages with the German and Romanian perspectives, as articulated in a volume of documents published by the National Council for the Study of the Securitate Archives (cnsas; 2011) and in one by Heinz Günther Hüsch (2016), the main West German intermediary. It elucidates how cultural representations of the ethnic German exodus from Romania contribute to the understanding of the diverging perspectives of the German and Romanian parties involved in the operation. Herta Müller’s short novel Der Mensch ist ein großer Fasan auf der Welt (1986), Răzvan Georgescu’s documentary film Trading Germans (2014), and Carmen Lidia Vidu’s recent documentary play Humans. For Sale (2022) provide nuanced representations of the operation, while highlighting the human drama that otherwise remains hidden behind numbers, lists, and prices per capita.

Instagram is one of the most popular social networks, both in Ukraine and around the world. According to statistics in 2023, the number of users was about 11 million in Ukraine and over 2 billion worldwide. The aim: to analyze the availability and evaluate the quality of informational related to asthma in one of the most popular social networks Instagram. Materials and methods. � search and analysis of thematic posts on Instagram in the Ukrainian language using the hashtags "#bronchialna asthma", "#bronchialna_astma", "#bronchialna", "#asthma" was carried out in December 2023. Publications not related to medical topics were not included in the analysis. The posts were analyzed according to the following categories: post format, gender in the picture, belonging to a certain category, advertising, number of subscribers, number of likes, education of the post developer, orientation of the post to the audience, compliance with National and GINA recommendations, and safety of information for patient. Results. A total of 308 posts were found. Of these, only 191 were analyzed, the rest were excluded due to compliance with the exclusion criteria. In the Ukrainian-language segment of Instagram, the format of text posts (91.1 %) prevailed over video content, and the leading positions among categories were education (46.6 %) and advertising (43 %). The pages of most contributors contained no information about the author's medical education (64.4 %), the vast majority of the content was patient-oriented (86.4 %). The dominant number of asthma related publications met the national and international GINA 2023 guidelines (73.3 %) and were safe for patients. Conclusions: the information about asthma on Instagram social network needs more careful control of its quality, compliance with evidence-based medicine data, which can be solved by conducting educational campaigns in cooperation with medical faculties, implementing labeling of reliable sources of information and content regulation. This will ensure the dissemination of reliable and scientifically based information, which will help patients receive the proper advice and support, contribute to the improvement of their condition and quality of life.

Melanoma is a malignant tumor that most often affects the skin, but it can also occur in many other human organs. In recent decades, the frequency of melanoma cases continues to grow and it has now become a relatively common malignant neoplasm, which is a serious socio-economic problem. The vast majority of melanomas have a known primary site of their development, but approximately 3.2 % of all melanomas are first detected in distant locations without a known primary tumor. Melanoma is considered as a multi-factorial disease, which arises as a result of the interaction of the genetic sensitivity of the human body and the influence of the environment. The most important and potentially modifying environmental risk factor of malignant melanoma is exposure to UV rays due to their genotoxic effect. The most important human body risk factors are the number of melanocytic nevi, family history and genetic predisposition. Melanomas without a primary skin lesion have been poorly studied due to their rarity, although in recent years more information has become available regarding the clinical, molecular, and genetic characteristics of such tumors. The article presents the actual observation of the so-called primary melanoma of the lung with a detailed description of known clinical data, performed surgical intervention and pathomorphological examination. The obtained data were compared with the available information on similar cases, demonstrating high grade of agreement. However, the authors hesitate to draw a conclusion regarding the treatment of primary lung melanoma, because recently, in a high-tech study of a number of similar cases of lung melanoma, objective molecular-genetic evidence has been provided for the existence of primary hidden melanoma of the skin.
Theory of RF photonic spectral filters based on microcombs David J. Moss
Authors: Moss David
Published: September 2024

Microwave transversal filters, which are implemented based on the transversal filter structure in digital signal processing, offer a high reconfigurability for achieving a variety of signal processing functions without changing hardware. When implemented using microwave photonic (MWP) technologies, also known as MWP transversal filters, they provide competitive advantages over their electrical counterparts, such as low loss, large operation bandwidth, and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference. Recent advances in high-performance optical microcombs provide compact and powerful multi-wavelength sources for MWP transversal filters that require a larger number of wavelength channels to achieve high performance, allowing for the demonstration of a diverse range of filter functions with improved performance and new features. Here, we present a comprehensive performance analysis for microcomb-based MWP spectral filters based on the transversal filter approach. First, we investigate the theoretical limitations in the filter spectral response induced by finite tap numbers. Next, we analyze the distortions in the filter spectral response resulting from experimental error sources. Finally, we assess the influence of input signal’s bandwidth on the filtering errors. These results provide a valuable guide for the design and optimization of microcomb-based MWP transversal filters for a variety of applications.
Kindness matters: People who prioritise the needs of others have higher income
Authors: Hanel Paul H. P. , Antadze Giorgi , Rea Jessica
Published: September 2024

Previous research established that those who value achievement (e.g., success) tend to earn more. In contrast, prioritizing benevolence (e.g., caring for close others) is often seen as a contributing factor to why some people earn less. However, managerial literature indicates that senior leadership who prioritise benevolence should be more successful. We therefore argue that benevolence should also be positively associated with higher earnings. Across three samples from in total 31 countries (N = 86,563) collected prior, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic (pre-registered), we find consistent support for our predictions. Furthermore, achievement and benevolence consistently interact in predicting income: benevolence is only associated with higher income when people value achievement less. Interestingly, the achievement-income associations are stronger among people living in less developed countries and for women. Additional analyses revealed that people in higher paying professions on average value achievement and benevolence more. Together, our findings emphasise the enduring importance of benevolence: Kindness is not penalised but often rewarded.
Between the lines: Role of cultural schema in remembering and forgetting
Authors: Peng Nan , Logie Robert H , Della Sala Sergio
Published: September 2024

Bartlett’s approach highlights learners’ attitudes toward integrating novel information using their pre-experimental knowledge. Prior knowledge tied to one’s socio-cultural experiences, known as cultural schema, plays a facilitating role in immediate memory performance. However, few studies extend this effect to delayed retention and long-term forgetting using coherent narratives. In the current study, we investigated the influence of cultural schema in prose retention and its effects on long-term forgetting. The awareness of the cultural properties implied in the prose was an index of activated cultural schemas. Recall performance was assessed across multiple time intervals. Consistently, cultural schemas enhanced the remembering of an integrated narrative for both schema related and unrelated information. The form of forgetting in prose memory followed a negatively accelerating pattern, which was more accurately described by a power function in both group and individual data. Notably, forgetting rates are independent of the degrees of acquisition predicted by varying activation of cultural schemas.
Algorithmic expert services: When expert values meet scalability thinking
Authors: Heimstädt Cornelius , Heimstädt Maximilian
Published: September 2024

In many areas of life, people who search for expert advice can now obtain it through algorithmic expert services. With these services, expert advice is generated by an algorithmic system and provided over a digital interface. Human experts disappear from direct interaction with clients, but instead orchestrate the algorithmic generation of expert advice from the back office of these services. Algorithmic expert services are often associated with the hope of making expert advice available to a large number of clients in a profitable way. However, this expectation is challenged by research on the role of shared expert values in and around organizations. In this study, we therefore explore how human experts in the back office of algorithmic expert services deal with tensions between their expert values and the imperative of scaling. Empirically, we draw on ethnographic material from a startup developing an algorithmic expert service for agriculture. We find that the human experts in the back office experience tension between their core value (i.e., reducing the environmental damages caused by pesticides) and managerial demands to maximize the app’s user retention. The experts navigate this tension by constantly experimenting with new representations of advice in the app’s interface, a process in which they repeatedly embrace their core value while simultaneously reinterpreting it, until they eventually find a way of representing advice that accommodates both their core value and the monopolistic tendencies of digital capitalism. Our study thus contributes to debates about whether expert advice can be scaled up by organizations using algorithmic means, and the role of values therein.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. The modern Russian economy is facing serious problems in the field of labor resources, which leads to high unemployment and low wages. The development of effective solutions requires conducting evidence-based programs, including actions at the enterprise level, the regional labor market and the national level. The options offered to date by various researchers for assessing the employment and income of the rural population are characterized by an aspect and a lack of an integrated approach. Insufficient attention is paid to the integration of estimates, as well as the development of forecast values based on the expected dynamics of stochastic factors. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for assessing the employment of the rural population in the production of beekeeping products. Methods. The state and dynamics of the beekeeping industry development was analyzed on the example of the Perm Region. The study of indicators for assessing the employment level of the rural population included the effect of stochastic factors. The uncertainty influence was accounted by the use of correlation and regression analysis and a multidimensional model. The development of a population assessment methodology was based on the method of mathematical modeling. Results. The influence percentage of stochastic factors on changes in the employment level of the economically active population and the complex impact indicator of factors on the of employment level and incomes of the rural population of the Perm Territory were calculated with a forecast for 5 years. Conclusions. The proposed approach will make it possible to more effectively monitor the trends and dynamics of beekeeping development, which will further help to develop effective support measures for this industry.

Methods. The research is based on analysis of scientific publications, regional development strategies, formulation and verification of the research hypothesis. Results. The role of tourism in the socio-economic development of remote territories was analyzed using the example of the Primorsky region. The specific recommendations were developed for attracting natives to organize tourism activities. Conclusions. In regions with significant natural resources, ecotourism can develop throughout all or most of the region's territory and contribute to increasing the sustainable development of the region.
The Administration of Youth Justice Through the Lens of Community-Based Service Providers: Risk Factors and Programming Challenges
Authors: Rowan Zachary , Greer Alissa
Published: September 2024

Since the Youth Criminal Justice Act of 2003 in Canada, the juvenile justice system has prioritized diverting youth away from in-custody sentences (incarceration in jail, prison, or other facilities) and towards a community-based system of justice. Despite this shift, there is limited research directly examining the experience of community-based service providers that were responsible for this shift in adjudicating youth. To understand the experience of working with youth involved in the system, we conducted semi-structured interviews with youth justice workers from one of the largest community-based organizations in a western Canadian province that offer alternatives to custody for at-risk youth. Findings provide a complex depiction of youth risk factors and illustrate the successes and challenges of administering youth justice in a community context.

Effect of Si-DLC Intermediate Layer on Duplex Process of Plasma Nitriding and Diamond-Like Carbon-Coating Deposition
Authors: Yamauchi Karen , Nishimoto Akio
Published: September 2024

In recent years, physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods have made significant advancements due to the growing demand for surface modification technologies. This study focuses on depositing diamond-like carbon (DLC) as a thin, hard film using plasma-enhanced CVD. DLC possesses properties such as high hardness, low friction, wear resistance, and chemical stability. However, a drawback is low adhesion caused by residual stress and differences in hardness between the film and the substrate material. Therefore, efforts are underway to improve adhesion by introducing a DLC intermediate layer containing metallic elements to reduce residual stress or by applying treatments to harden the substrate material, such as nitriding or carburizing. Active screen plasma nitriding (ASPN) is a nitriding method that eliminates edge effects and electrically insulates the sample during the process. However, during nitriding, deposits can cover the sample and slow down the nitriding rate. To address this, a nitriding method called "direct-current plasma nitriding with screen (S-DCPN)" has been developed. It involves applying a voltage to the sample and screen during ASPN to remove deposits via sputtering action, thereby increasing the nitriding rate. Although the duplex process of ASPN and DLC-coating deposition has been studied, there are limited reports on the duplex process with S-DCPN. This study investigates the effect of intermediate layer composition on mechanical properties by forming a nitrided layer on the surface of SUS304 through S-DCPN treatment, depositing a Si-DLC intermediate layer with varying compositions, and applying a DLC film on the top surface. The results demonstrate that the lower the Si ratio in the Si-DLC intermediate layer, the better the wear resistance. Furthermore, the study reveals that wear resistance and adhesion were improved compared to samples without S-DCPN treatment.
Cooling Curve Analysis of a PAG Polymer Quenchant Using Two Spray Quench Rings Designs
Authors: Gallegos-Cantú Sergio , MacKenzie D. Scott , Hernández-Morales Bernardo
Published: September 2024

The analysis of cooling curves obtained by immersing a probe in the quench medium has been widely used since its availability. For instance, methods described in standards such as ISO 9950 and ASTM D 6482 refer to the use of an Inconel 600 specimen which is quenched to obtain the cooling curve of a given fluid; however, spray quenching is being mostly used in induction hardening processes. In this work, the quenching characteristics of a PAG polymer at 6 and 12 % concentration were determined and compared with water as a baseline. The fluid was heated at 30 °C, while the solution flow rate was set at 90 L/min; two different quenching rings were designed and used in a laboratory-scale setting. Also, the fluid flow in the quench rings was simulated through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to obtain flow patterns inside the quenching devices. From the results obtained, the cooling rate curves showed no vapor phase, and the maximum cooling rate was found to be higher in one of the quench ring designs. The design of the quench ring device has a significant influence on the quenching characteristics of the quenchant, mainly at medium and low temperatures of the cooling rate curve.
Liquid Nitrocarburizing with Low Environmental Impact for Tribological Applications: Development and Continuous Improvement of a Sustainable Thermochemical Treatment through Life Cycle Assessment Method
Authors: Grangier Philippe
Published: September 2024

Liquid nitrocarburizing is a well-known surface treatment when it comes to tribological parts and systems. The surface layers formed through liquid nitrocarburizing processing (compound layer and diffusion zone) make it possible to combine the corrosion, wear, and fatigue resistance properties of the treated materials (mainly ferrous alloys, from low-carbon to high-alloy steels and even cast iron) while enhancing their tribological behavior. Based on its worldwide presence, its continuous improvement and high industrial maturity, HEF Groupe’s Liquid Nitrocarburizing is the technology ready for future with its CLIN 4.0 program and it ambitious ECOCLIN program which allow the recycling of wastes from nitriding installations and their transformation into directly reusable consumables. That is why HEF’s liquid nitrocarburizing is proven to be not only an alternative to other surface treatments (such as Chromium plating) on both technical aspects and price competitiveness but also a real solution answering the current environmental challenges. Thanks to the implementation of Life cycle Assessment methods, HEF’s liquid nitrocarburizing continuously improve its sustainability and continuously lower its impacts on global resources, making it an iterative routine to decrease environmental impact on all resources (Energy, water, raw materials,…)
Application of Miniature Testing Specimens for Mechanical Characterization of Materials after Heat Treatment
Authors: Chvostová Eva
Published: September 2024

One of the methods of evaluating the mechanical properties of a material in the case of its limited amount is the use of techniques that employ the miniaturized test specimens. The basic properties used mostly for residual life evaluation are tensile strength, impact notch toughness or impact notch toughness transition curve, fracture toughness, creep and high cycle fatigue.

For example, by semi-destructive sampling of operating power equipment, actual material properties can be obtained which are crucial for predicting the residual life of the equipment. Furthermore, the local material properties of the weld joint in individual zones can be determined. In this paper applicability of these test methods is described, specific examples of use are given and reference is made to the existing ISO/ASTM 52909:2022 standard for the use of sub-size samples.

Advanced characterization techniques and modeling are used to get new insight on the microstructural evolutions occurring during the tempering of low-alloyed steels with initial martensitic microstructure. Tempering temperatures from 150°C to 600°C, are considered to make vary the metallurgical phenomena activated, form carbon segregation to defects to precipitation of different types of carbides (transition, cementite, alloyed). A large range of carbon compositions, from 0.1 to 0.7 wt.% are investigated, with the same main experimental technique: in situ HEXRD at synchrotron beamlines, with complementary post mortem fine-scale characterizations by TEM and 3D-APT.

In the middle of this range (~0.3wt.%), the usual sequence is observed: successive precipitation of transition and cementite carbides. New observations concern the carbon concentrations outside this range. For high carbon concentrations (~0.6wt.%), the same sequence occurs but the martensite/ferrite matrix remains highly supersaturated in carbon compared to equilibrium, for a long time and even after the precipitation of cementite.

For low carbon concentrations (~0.1wt.%) most of the carbon starts to segregate at defects (dislocations, lath boundaries). This enters in competition with the transition carbides which are almost fully hindered, whereas cementite precipitates afterwards. Two previous models from literature are combined to predict the concomitant kinetics of carbon segregation and precipitation. Segregation puts the transition carbides at a disadvantage with cementite and for this reason, the latter precipitates earlier than usually reported.

The effects of nitrogen enrichment (up to ~0.4 wt.%N, context of carbonitriding thermochemical treatments) in austenite domain of stability (before the martensitic quench) are also investigated. In low-alloyed steel considered (23MnCrMo5), nitrides are formed upon enrichment (CrN, MnSiN2). This has a strong impact on the precipitation sequence, compared to model systems previously investigated (Fe-N, Fe-C-N).

Controlled cooling conveyor system is known, as the starting point for quality processing of wire rod products, obtaining good mechanical properties. This process guarantees excellent performance with high production rates. In order to process several steel grades and different diameters, it is necessary to determine, the different austenitization temperatures and cooling rates that will control austenitic grain growth and, consequently, the pearlite interlamellar spacing. In this work, dilatometric analysis was performed to determine critical temperatures for an hypoeutectoid steel during heating and controlled continuous cooling, similar to the industry conditions for heat treatment. Metallographic analysis and microhardness test validated the results obtained during the dilatometry tests. The critical temperatures will be employed to understand the effect of the thermal conditions in controlled cooling process and adjust the conditions for better results in the austenitic grain size.

What is concealed under the name Lochmaea crataegi (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)?
Authors: Bienkowski A.O.
Published: September 2024

Until now, Lochmaea crataegi (Forster, 1771) was considered a transpalaearctic species, while the closely related species L. machulkai Roubal, 1926 was known only from the Caucasus and adjacent regions. The present study establishes that L. crataegi is found exclusively in Western, Central, and Southern Europe, while L. machulkai is distributed in Crimea, the central and southern regions of European Russia, the Caucasus, northern Iran, eastern Turkey, and western Middle Asia. A new species, L. sergeevi sp. nov. , is described from Asian Russia, specifically from the Urals to the Far East. The males of L. sergeevi sp. nov. differ from those of L. crataegi and L. machulkai in the aedeagus, which is much wider than that of L. crataegi , with the maximum width closer located to the apex than in L. machulkai (in dorsal view), and significantly less curved than in both compared species (in lateral view), and in the metatibia which is curved near the mid-length, whereas it is curved closer to the base in both of the compared species. The diagnostic characters of the L. crataegi species–group, as well as those of L. crataegi and L. machulkai , are revised. Color photographs of the diagnostic characters and a distribution map of all species are provided.

VR-based two-arm anthropomorphic manipulation system control methods are considered to solve tasks in small-size spaces, considering factors reducing control efficiency. Methods for developing an intuitive user interface and control methods are described considering time delays, the probability of collisions and self-intersections, and dis-crepancy between the actions of the operator and the manipulation system. The best ways to control a two-arm anthropomorphic manipulation system are identified. A concept for such two-arm anthropomorphic manipulation system control method based on developing an intuitive user interface with predictive visual feedback and assis-tive vibration feedback is proposed.
