Published record. ‘Rozsnyó: Ökörhegy [= Rožňava, Volovské vrchy Mts., Skalisko Mt., Volovec pass] (Bartkó [leg.], VII.1913 1 m*, 1280 m)’ (Sóos 1959).
Comment. Hesperocorixa parallela is a mountain species with scattered occurrence in southern Europe, Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Turkey, Near East and Iran (Polhemus et al. 1995, Aukema et al. 2013). In Central Europe the species is cofined only to the Carpathians (Slovakia, Poland, Transcarpathian Ukraine, Romania) (Soós 1959, Polhemus et al. 1995) where it prefers small and shallow tarns usually above 1700 m a.s.l. (Wróblewski 1980). The Slovak record by Soós (1959) was overlooked by Hoberlandt (1977) and Polhemus et al. (1995).

Synorthocladius lobiger (Freeman), Freeman & Cranston 1980: 186; Harrison 2004
Like Bryophaenocladius conicus, in the same paper, Freeman (1953) described another species, Pseudorthocladius lobiger. It was transferred to Synorthocladius by Freeman & Cranston (1980) and listed as such by Harrison (2004). According to the original description and figure by Freeman (1953), it lacks an anal point and has a tongue­shaped inferior volsella; it therefore might not belong to the genus Synorthocladius. Nonetheless, we tentatively maintain it in the genus Synorthocladius, recognizing that its taxonomic status remains uncertain until the type specimen can be examined.

Remarks
Eptesicus furinalis represents a new host record from this fly. The record from M. molossus is suspected a contaminant, given that two specimens of E. furinalis yielded samples of B. bequaerti from the same locality on the same day. Outside of Paraguay, B. bequaerti has been recorded from Micronycteris megalotis (Gray) in Colombia and from an unidentified host in Venezuela (Guimarães 1972).

Remarks. In Slovakia, S. distinca dwells in a very wide variety of environmental conditions: elevation: 151– 1453 m, pH: 5.3–9.2, conductivity: 9–580 µS.cm -1. The species is occasionally found in sympatry with S. striata.
Distribution. Sigara distincta is widespread in Europe, Siberia and north Africa, but is lacking in the southwestern part of Europe (Jastrey 1981, Nieser 1982). This species tolerates a wide range of habitats but prefers stagnant waters in higher elevations with low pH (5−6) and conductivity (<200 µS.cm -1) (Mercken 1989, Lock et al. 2013).

description: The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a widely accepted theoretical framework that explains how users accept and use technology. TAM has been applied in various marketing contexts to explain consumer behavior toward new technological products and services. By understanding how consumers perceive their products’ usefulness and ease of use, marketers can design effective marketing strategies that maximize consumer adoption and usage rates. This paper provides a comprehensive review of using TAM in marketing development. First, a metadata analysis was conducted by adopting 1089 papers from the Scopus database to review previous works in TAM and marketing. Second, a descriptive bibliometric analysis was performed using 437 published works and a VOS viewer to determine the recent development in using TAM in marketing. Third, content analysis of 57 papers using Wordstat was conducted to indicate the latest trends in marketing. Results reveal that marketing research using TAM is on an upward curve with limitations in implementing recent technologies. Sustainability Switzerland, Developments in Marketing Science, and International Journal of Bank Marketing were the top journals, Tan, G.W.H and Dr. Ooi Keng-Boon were the leading authors, business and management, computer science and social science were the principal areas of research, and USA, China, and Malaysia were the top countries. Results of bibliometric analysis reveal that mobile, technology, market research, and online marketing were the top trends in marketing. These results indicate the increasing importance of marketing trends and the TAM model used in today’s market and management. Our paper offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of marketing research through the lens of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In simple terms, TAM helps explain why people embrace new technology. By applying this framework to marketing, we unveil key insights into consumer behavior towards modern products and services. From smartphones to online shopping, TAM sheds light on why we adopt and use these innovations. Our findings reveal exciting trends in marketing, showing how businesses can harness TAM to create effective strategies that resonate with consumers. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or a curious consumer, our paper provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of marketing and technology adoption.

description: So far, we have developed the innovative radioactivity quantification technique of spectral determination method (SDM) and applied it to spectra measured with Ge, NaI detectors and liquid scintillation counter (LSC). In the present study we extended the SDM to apply to a unified spectrum composed of LSC and Ge detector, and the number of nuclides has been increased from 8 or 9 to 40. We selected 40 radionuclides from possible radionuclides included in nuclear debris and radioactive wastes in the environment which were produced by the nuclear accident in Fukushima in 2011. We prepared LSC and Ge standard spectra by direct measurements and simulation calculations utilizing the Geant 4.10.3 Monte Carlo simulation tool kit. The derived LSC and Ge spectra for each nuclide were unified to a single spectrum and the 40 sets of them were completed as a unified database. We studied the determination accuracy of the present analysis by examining a composed spectrum made of 40 radionuclides with equal intensities. The SDM result shows that the relative determination uncertainties of 35 nuclides are below 20%. It is also indicated that by removing 3 interfering nuclides the determination accuracy of the other 37 nuclides could be improved.

Observation: Cells are oblong, 11 to 16 µm long, laterally flattened, and rigid. There are no surface structures on both faces of the cell. Two flagella arise near the anterior-lateral side of the cell separately by a small protrusion. Both flagella are of similar length and not acronematic. The anterior flagellum beats backwardly in a small excursion and the posterior flagellum is usually held down. The nucleus is located in the centre of the cell. The cells appear to move by skidding. When the cells rest, the anterior flagellum lies along the margin of the cell. Rarely observed.
Remarks: This species was reported from a marine habitat in Nova Scotia, Canada by Okamoto et al. (2009). It is similar to Platychilomonas, but is distinguished by the flagellar orientation and the lack of the gullet, and because this species lacks rows of extrusomes. It can be distinguished from other small flagellates by the moving behaviour and the cell appearance such as flatness and lack of surface structure. This species was also observed at marine sediments in subtropical Australia and Korea (Lee unpublished data).

Type material. E. mandlaensis. Female holotype from INDIA: Madhya Pradesh: Mandla (= Mandala): Narayanganj (22°49’38.41’’N, 80°14’10.73’’E), 431 m alt.; U.A. Gajbe leg.; 23 January 1985; repository NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (no register number specified), examined. W. fidelis. Lectotype male from ‘Palestine’ (OXUM, collection of O. Pickard-Cambridge: bottle 1572, tube 39), not examined. Kronestedt & Zyuzin (2009) illustrated the male and female genitalia of this species and their female genitalic illustrations (Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: figs 15, 17) were used for comparative purpose.
Justification of the synonymy. Gajbe (2004) described E. mandlaensis based on a female specimen collected in Madhya Pradesh. Detailed examination of the holotype showed no differences between this species and W. fidelis, a widely distributed species, which was previously recorded from India (Tikader & Malhotra 1980; Lu et al. 2016) (compare Fig. 10B–C with Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: figs 15, 17). Thus, we consider E. mandlaensis as a junior synonym of W. fidelis.
Remarks. The NZC-ZSI collection has one glass tube for E. mandlaensis, labeled as ‘holotype’ (Ar-1621) and containing one female specimen in fairly good condition, with broken legs. The same tube has a small glass vial containing the dissected genitalia.

Remarks. Notonecta maculata was found in small (7.2 m2, max. depth 0.25 m), fishless garden pond and lowland stream.
Distribution. This Palaearctic species is distributed in southern and central Europe, Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, northern Africa, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan (Jaczewski & Wróblewski 1978, Polhemus et al. 1995, Protić 1998, Kanyukova 2006, Soós et al. 2009, Fent et al. 2011, Berchi 2013). Kment & Baňař (2012) recorded N. maculata in neighbouring Moravia from one locality (Javorník, Teplica brook) just a few meters from the Slovak border. Notonecta maculata is found only locally and prefers small habitats (ponds and brooks) with clay substrate and a restricted amount of vegetation, usually found during early successional stages of the pools (Bosmans 1982, Lock et al. 2013).

Remarks. According to Ardoin (1976: 150) Y. Gillon collected the type series of six specimens of A. gilloni in the Ferlo area. But Ardoin mentioned only holotype and allotype to be deposited in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. However, when visiting MNHN, I found two more specimens labeled as paratypes, evidently belonging to the type series. The deposition of the remaining two type specimens is unknown to me. Ardoin also mentioned further specimens from Niger and Senegal (collected by J. Barbier). The Senegal specimens are deposited in MNHN (see above) contrary to specimens from Niger, deposition of which is also unknown to me. It is not evident, why Ardoin did not clearly state all specimens mentioned in his paper as types (or paratypes). Therefore, I hesitate to refer to these specimens (mentioned in additional material) as types, although they are very likely paratypes.

Compsibidion vandenberghei Heffern, Santos-Silva & Nascimento, 2018: 526.
Compsibidion vandenberghei was described based on two females from Nicaragua (Nueva Segovia) (Heffern et al. 2018). We examined another female from Guatemala (Fig. 30), and in comparison with the type material (holotype illustrated in Figs 31, 33 and 35), the female examined has the body slightly wider, scape shorter and stouter (Fig. 32), flagellomeres slightly thicker, femora slightly thicker, yellowish lateral macula on the anterior third of the elytron closed adjacent to the epipleura (it is open in the holotype), black anterior elytral macula closer to the black transverse band (Fig. 30), transverse black macula on posterior half of the elytron arched upward close to suture (Fig. 30), and procoxal cavities slightly open behind (it is closed in the holotype). However, these types of variations also occur in other species of Compsibidion, as for example, in C. vanum (Thomson, 1867). Additionally, the upper eye lobes (Fig. 34) in the female from Guatemala have three rows of ommatidia, while in the holotype they have four rows (Fig. 35). However, in the female paratype, the left upper eye lobe has four rows of ommatidia, with a single ommatidium in the fourth row, and the right upper eye lobe has three rows of ommatidia.

Previous records in the Algerian Sahara. Laghouat (Blanchard 1891), Ghardaïa (Gauthier 1934a), Tasilli N’Ajjer (Thiéry & Rogers 2022).
Previous records in the Hauts Plateaux and coastal area. The phylogeography of the T. cancriformis species complex has been the focus of a detailed study using molecular analyses (Korn et al. 2006, 2010) that reinstated T. simplex to full status. The species has been recorded at Biskra (Simon 1885), Mécheria, between Laghouat and Djelfa (Gauthier 1928b), Dayet El Itima (Gauthier 1934a), Boucif, Jemot (Samraoui et al. 2006), Timerganine, Jemot (Ouahioune Rais 2019), Jemot (Beladjal & Amarouayache 2023).
Comments. T. simplex is common in the steppe zone of the Hauts Plateaux as well as in the arid northern Sahara. As observed in Tunisia (Marrone et al. 2016), the species is not present in the humid coastal regions.

description: The purpose of this article is to determine the role of service providers in Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality (MMM) in ensuring effective service delivery. The absence of transparency, accountability, and proper and trustworthy structures and procedures in public procurement leads to corruption and abuse of resources, costing the nation its livelihoods, when services are ill-delivered. Therefore, service delivery has become increasingly important as a driving force in the South African economy. However, there has been limited research done in the role of service providers in ensuring effective service delivery. The article is a case study research design and data were gathered using semi structured interviews at the Supply Chain Management Department at the MMM based on a snowball sampling technique. The article reveals the role of service providers in ensuring effective service delivery in the MMM. It also found that there needs to be training to minimize corruption and poor service delivery within the public sector. Furthermore, the study recommended that service providers should monitor projects and they should perform their duties and responsibilities in terms of specification to ensure efficient and effective service delivery. The participants recommended that to enhance service delivery, there is a need to hire people in supply chain management with the capacity, skills, and knowledge to do the job. The processes of public procurement through which the public sector and governments obtain required goods, works and services can be used to uphold certain guidelines. Therefore, to ensure efficient, effective and economic service delivery, there is a need to shift away from inner observing, bureaucratic structures, procedures, and approaches and a look into innovative ways of working, which put the requirements of the community first, is better, quicker, and more receptive to the citizens requests. It also implies a broad shift in the method that services are provided. The article reveals the role of service providers in ensuring effective service delivery in the MMM. It also acknowledges that there needs to be training to minimize corruption and poor service delivery within the public sector. Furthermore, service providers should monitor projects and they should perform their duties and responsibilities in terms of specification to ensure efficient and effective service delivery.

Remarks. This species was described based on a male specimen (O. Pickard-Cambridge 1871). In India, it was reported to occur in Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan (Tikader & Malhotra 1980). The female epigynum illustrated for this species by Tikader & Malhotra (1980) is based on specimens collected by E. Simon from Pakistan. It is deviating from the epigynum of E. praelongipes illustrated by Alderweireldt (1991) and instead shows close resemblance with the female genitalia of E. rajasthanea (compare Fig. 3D with Alderweireldt 1991: fig. 5.4; Tikader & Malhotra 1980: fig. 137), indicating that Tikader & Malhotra (1980) misidentified the species (see also Armiach Steinpress et al. 2021). The specimens collected in Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan (which has the type locality of E. rajasthanea), which are never illustrated and might be identified by comparison with the specimens from Pakistan, may also be that of E. rajasthanea. All these make the record of E. praelongipes in India doubtful. The NZC-ZSI collection has two glass tubes labeled as E. praelongipes. A tube (7749/H2) contains one female specimen in bad condition. The same tube has a small glass vial without genitalia. A second tube (7749/H2) contains one dried female specimen and a female prosoma. The label in this tube mentions the collecting locality as Kuchh, which is in Gujarat. We were unable to confirm whether these specimens are of E. praelongipes or not due to their bad condition.
