title: Von kirchlich organisierter Entwicklungshilfe zu staatlich institutionalisierter Entwicklungszusammenarbeit
Creators: name: Eder, Philip
Year: 2018

description: Die Entwicklungspolitik ist ein sehr facettenreiches politisches und wissenschaftliches Feld. Obwohl sie sowohl auf internationaler, als auch auf nationaler Ebene seit ihrem Entstehen nach dem Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges zumeist vom ökonomischen Fortschrittsparadigma gekennzeichnet war, konkurrierten im Laufe der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts verschiedene Entwicklungstheorien um die Anerkennung als die effektivste Methode, um „Unterentwicklung“ zu beseitigen. Dadurch prägten sie die theoretischen Entwicklungsdiskurse und ihre praktischen Umsetzungen bis zur Jahrtausendwende. Mit der Einführung der MDGs und SDGs erfolgte ein entwicklungspolitischer Umbruch und die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit öffnete sich für neue Aufgabengebiete und Herausforderungen im 21. Jahrhundert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird dieser Verlauf anhand der Geschichte der österreichischen Entwicklungspolitik dargestellt. Österreich, ein Land das nach dem Kriegende selbst von finanziellen Unterstützungen aus dem Marshallplan abhängig war, konnte sich nicht nur durch die Mitgliedschaft in Organisationen wie dem DAC, der OEEC/OECD, der UN oder der WHO, sondern auch durch den Aufbau bilateraler Entwicklungskooperationen als ODA-Geberstaat etablieren und sich dem globalen Norden zuordnen. Dabei kam dem Beitritt zur Europäischen Union besondere Bedeutung zu, welcher der OEZA neue strukturelle, thematische und finanzielle Dimensionen eröffnete. Die Inkorporation von Migrationspolitik in die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, die seit den verstärkten Migrationsbewegungen von Afrika nach Europa im Sommer 2015 vom BMEIA betrieben wurde, ist jedoch bezüglich ihrer Effektivität infrage zu stellen. Aufgrund der Auswahl der aktuellen Partnerländer und den begrenzten finanziellen Mitteln der bilateralen Projektarbeit, ist die OEZA als migrationspolitisches Werkzeug weitgehend ungeeignet.

description: Climatic conditions where bird species reproduce can exert selective pressures to optimize their embryonic development. Variations in egg morphology, such as egg shape, may face selective pressures at large and small climatic scales to prevent excessive water loss and maintain the exchange of metabolic gases. Here, we evaluated if the long-term climate and the weather of egg-laying months correlate with egg shape variation in Neotropical passerines. We gathered 4,095 clutches (10,994 eggs) of 428 passerine species from egg sets deposited in 36 egg collections in South and Central America, the USA, and Europe. We used egg shape indexes of elongation (length divided by width) and asymmetry (“pointedness”). Eggs with higher elongation and asymmetry indexes showed a lower surface-to-volume ratio (SA:V). With a phylogenetic comparative approach, we showed that open-nesting species breeding in drier conditions had more elongated eggs than those in humid climates. Lower SA:V in elongated eggs may prevent embryo dehydration through decreased water loss in drier environments. Our findings suggest that egg shape can be fine-tuned to climatic conditions in nests with higher environmental exposure.

At first glance, the proposal seemed to be one of those rare measures in politics which hurt no one but offer aid to all. Thus it passed the Senate and thus it might have passed the House of Representatives had not the conservatives in both parties taken a second look.

Diagnosis. Distinguished from other Australian Ploiaria by the following combination of characters: ventral surface of foretrochanter armed with elongate, setigerous spine, longer spines on base of forefemur emanating from elongate processes, and colouration and male genitalia (see Wygodzinsky 1948: p. 474, Figs. 1–3).
Remarks. Ploiaria chilensis is cosmopolitan in distribution, and like P. macrophthalma and Empicoris rubromaculatus, it is thought to have come to Australia by anthropogenic means (Wygodzinsky 1956). This species was not observed in the present survey.

title: Auswirkungen der Scheidung/Trennung der Eltern auf Einstellungen und Partnerschaften junger Erwachsener
Creators: name: Merl, Janice
Year: 2018

description: Gemäß der intergenerationalen Transmissionshypothese weisen Kinder, deren Eltern geschieden sind, ein höheres Scheidungsrisiko auf als Personen, deren Eltern verheiratet sind. Laut dieser Hypothese und vielen Studien hat Scheidung beziehungsweise Trennung der Eltern einen großen Einfluss auf das zukünftige Leben der Kinder. Ziel dieser Studie war es herauszufinden, welche Auswirkungen die elterliche Scheidung oder Trennung auf Einstellungen und Partnerschaften junger Erwachsener haben kann. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine Studie durchgeführt, bei der 257 Personen online einen Fragebogen ausfüllten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die theoretischen Annahmen nur teilweise bestätigt werden konnten. Bis auf eine negativere Einstellung zur Ehe von Scheidungs-/Trennungskindern im Vergleich zu Personen aus intakten Familien konnten keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen diesen beiden Gruppen festgestellt werden. Wenn man das Alter zum Zeitpunkt der Scheidung/Trennung einbezog, zeigte sich jedoch bei jungen Erwachsenen aus Scheidungs- oder Trennungsfamilien, die bei der elterlichen Scheidung/Trennung älter als 10 Jahre waren, eine signifikante geringere Verbindlichkeit in der Partnerschaft als bei jenen aus intakten Familien. In zukünftigen Studien sollte dieser Faktor somit immer mit einbezogen werden. Insgesamt lässt sich feststellen, dass sich die Folgen von Scheidung/Trennung verändert haben und es deshalb wichtig ist, immer wieder aktuelle Daten zu erheben.
description: According to the intergenerational transmission of divorce, children, whose parents are divorced, have a higher risk of getting divorced themselves, than people, whose parents are married. With regard to this hypothesis and lots of studies, divorce or the separation of the parents, has a great influence on the future life of the children. The aim of this study was to find out more about the implications of the parental divorce or separation on the attitudes and partnerships of young adults. For this purpose, a study was conducted in which 257 people completed an online questionnaire. The results show that the theoretical assumptions could just be partly confirmed. Except for the more negative attitude to marriage of children of divorced or separated parents in comparison to people from intact families, significant differences between these two groups could not be found. When the factor of age at the time of divorce/separation was included, however, it was demonstrated that young adults from divorced or separated families, who were older than 10 years at the time of the parental divorce/separation, have a significant lower commitment in their partnership than those from intact families. This factor should therefore always be included in future studies. In conclusion, it can be stated that the consequences of divorce and separation have changed over time and it is therefore important to keep on gathering current data.

description: African popular theatre has emerged as an alternative strategy through which the oppressed can discard the culture of silence and assert their desire for peace, justice and freedom. Taking cognisance of the belief that violence only begets violence, such theatre employs meta-communicative devices, like play, as non-violent means of protest against forces that have militated against the people’s welfare. This article uses the case study of a popular theatre performance carried out in Zimbabwe to explore how the culture of violence has become a cyclical phenomenon that began with colonialism and extended through the time of the liberation struggle to the post-colonial period. The article focuses on how the cycle of violence can be understood in order to chart the way forward for peacebuilding and development in Africa.

description: Pseudobargylia Wygodzinsky 1951
Pseudobargylia Wygodzinsky 1951: 610 (new genus, type species: Emesa iuncea Erichson 1842, by original designation); Wygodzinsky 1966: 537 (description); Maldonado 1990: 136 (catalogue); Cassis & Gross 1995: 298 (catalogue).
Diagnosis. Pseudobargylia can be recognised by the combination of the following characters: apterous, clypeus lacking projections, foretarsi two-segmented, foretarsi ventrally setate, claws fully-developed, foretarsi at least 1/ 3rd length of foretibiae, forefemora with series of spines not extending along entire length of vental margin, ninth tergite mostly visible from above, and eighth tergite not covering gonocoxites laterally.
Remarks. Wygodzinsky (1966) reported that Pseudobargylia is the most species-rich and abundant genus of metapterine Emesinae in Australia. The genus contains nine described species that are mostly found in temperate eastern Australia, extending to Kangaroo Island (SA) in the south and Maryborough (QLD) in the north. He hypothesised that P. l e a i is related to P. brewarrina Wygodzinsky 1956, P. marsupialis Wygodzinsky, 1966 and P. revoluta Wygodzinsky, 1966 on the basis of male genitalia characters.

title: Kontrollgesellschaft oder Disziplinargesellschaft
Creators: name: Kühne, Marieke
Year: 2018

description: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, mithilfe der Texte „Überwachen und Strafen. Die Geburt des Gefängnisses“ von Michel Foucault und „Postskriptum über die Kontrollgesellschaften“ von Gilles Deleuze einen neuen Weg zu finden, dystopische Romane zu erschließen. Dafür wird untersucht, wie sich die Kontrollgesellschaft und die Disziplinargesellschaft klar definieren lassen und inwiefern sie sich voneinander unterscheiden. Anschließend soll die Frage beantwortet werden, ob sich diese Kategorisierung auf dystopische Literatur anwenden lässt. Dafür werden drei dystopische Romane des 21. Jahrhunderts entsprechend analysiert: „Corpus Delicti: Ein Prozess“ von Juli Zeh, „The Circle“ von Dave Eggers und „Wool“ von Hugh Howey. Abschließend wird untersucht, was die Gesellschaftsformen in den ausgewählten Romanen bewirken. Die Methoden, nach denen analysiert wird, sind einerseits die Diskursanalyse nach Foucault und andererseits die Erzähltheorie nach Genette. Als Regelwerk für die Diskursanalyse wird eine Tabelle entworfen, in der Merkmale der Disziplinar- und der Kontrollgesellschaft in fünf Kategorien gegenübergestellt werden. Die Analyse wird durch erzähltheoretische Aspekte ergänzt. Mithilfe der entworfenen Tabelle ist es möglich, die zwei Gesellschaftsformen klar voneinander abzugrenzen. In der Literaturanalyse hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass auch Mischformen existieren. Die Anwendung der Analysemethode an dystopischen Romanen ist aufgrund der überschneidenden Merkmale der Disziplinar- und Kontrollgesellschaft mit jenen dystopischer Gesellschaften sinnvoll. Die Methode hilft ebenfalls dabei, die Wirkung der Gesellschaftsformen auf die ausgewählten Romane zu analysieren.

Emesopsis (Hadrocranella): McAtee & Malloch, 1926: 119 (subgeneric arrangement).
Diagnosis. Emesopsis in Australia can be recognised by the following combination of characters: head, thorax and basal abdominal sternite densely clothed in wool-like pile; darkened areas of wings sometimes raised, with unpigmented pits, M and Cu separate at base of truncate discal cell; 2nd segment of rostrum distinctly swollen.
Remarks. This genus was previously diagnosed by the presence of a small subquadrate basal cell, however, this character is now known to be absent in one mainland Australian species, Emesopsis infenestra (Tatarnic et al. 2011), as well as the new Lord Howe Island species E. cirratus, described herein. This latter species is the sole member of the genus to be found on Lord Howe, and is distinguished by slight wing reduction, with the apex of the hemelytra distinctly upturned.

title: Ermittlung der Materialeigenschaft Dämpfung der weiblichen Brust

description: Studien zufolge empfinden Frauen die Bewegungen ihrer Brust beim Sport als störend und den Tragekomfort von Sport-BHs als mangelhaft. Um die weibliche Brust bei Bewegung möglichst gut unterstützen und somit die Frau vor Schmerzen und anderen Unannehmlichkeiten bewahren zu können, ist es für die Entwicklung eben dieser Stützwäsche (Sport-BHs) unerlässlich, über die Materialeigenschaften der Brust Bescheid zu wissen. Auf Grund der auf diesem Gebiet noch sehr dünnen Studienlage wurde in vorliegender Untersuchung die Materialeigenschaft Dämpfung der werblichen Brust an 33 Probandinnen erhoben. Hierbei kam ein Dämpfungstest zur Anwendung, bei dem die Probandin ihre Brust selbst anhebt und dann frei ausschwingen lässt. Die Trajektorien der Brustwarzen wurden dann zur Berechnung des Lehrschen Dämpfungsmaßes herangezogen. Dies ist die erste Untersuchung der Dämpfung an mehr als einer Probandin. An der Untersuchung nahmen 59 Probandinnen teil (Alter: 33,9 Jahre ± 11,6 Jahre, Größe: 169 cm ± 13 cm, Masse: 69,4 kg ± 12,5 kg). Es wurde drei Forschungshypothesen nachgegangen; mit folgenden Ergebnissen: • Der Unterschied im Volumen der beiden Brüste einer Probandin ist > 5% mit p<0,001. • Zwischen BMI und Brustvolumen gibt es einen statistisch signifikanten mittleren Zusammenhang (r=0,567, p<0,001). • Es gibt keinen statistisch signifikanten Zusammenhang zwischen Lehrschem Dämpfungsmaß und Brustvolumen (p = 0,266). Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie lassen vermuten, dass die Dämpfung der Brust bei der Entwicklung von Sport-BHs nicht individuell berücksichtigt werden muss.

description: About 20% of the catch of the European fishing fleet is obtained from non-European waters. Access to these waters is often based on agreements with coastal states that allow the EU fleet to fish from surplus stocks in return for financing of infrastructure development in the fisheries sector. These agreements have been criticized, as these fisheries are often poorly regulated and management decisions are sometimes based on limited knowledge, compliance, and enforcement capabilities. It is also too often the case that trust between stakeholders is lacking. The aim of FarFish is to overcome these hurdles. The FarFish project is designed around six case study areas in which the European operators are actively engaged in fishing activities, including Cape Verde, Mauritania, Senegal and Seychelles, as well as the international seas in the southeast and southwest Atlantic. In this context of geographic, economic and cultural diversity, the project will gain insights into the sustainability commercially important species such as tuna, hake, mackerel, sardines, octopus, shrimp, and other relevant fisheries. The project will contribute to the exploitation at or below corresponding Maximum Sustainable Yields (MSY) for these fisheries. FarFish aims to improve sustainability and profitability of the European fishing fleet operating outside European waters. FarFish brings together 21 organisations and agencies across Europe, Africa and South America in addition to a number of international organizations. This plan for the dissemination of knowledge and exploitation of FarFish describes the project partners’ strategies and actions related to the exploitation, dissemination and communication of the project results. The plan will be revised and updated on a continuous basis. The FarFish consortium aims to disseminate and communicate the results and recommendations obtained from the project’s work to all relevant parties, including FarFish partners, stakeholders and the general public. The use of efficient and productive internal and external communication, actions, tools and participative events will ensure that all target groups are reached. This plan describes how the new knowledge and tools created will be exploited and disseminated, and defines a clear set of actions in the project timeline including; purpose, target groups, methods, vehicles, timing, indicators and success criteria.

Diagnosis. In Australia, this genus is recognised by the following: scutellum, metanotum and first visible abdominal tergite (T2) with a median spine; head and thorax clothed with dense wool-like setae; pronotum with longitudinal carinae laterally; forewing without a sub-basal cell; and pterostigma extending beyond apex of discal cell.
Remarks. Empicoris is a cosmopolitan genus comprising approximately 81 described species (Maldonado 1990; Tatarnic et al. 2011), with the greatest diversity occurring in the Eastern Hemisphere. The delineation of species from this region remains poorly resolved. McAtee and Malloch (1922, 1925) revised the Philippine fauna and gave adequate descriptions of some of the species. Wygodzinsky (1966) reviewed the world fauna but gave little more than a listing of most of the Eastern Hemisphere species. The genus is represented in Australia by three endemic species plus the cosmopolitan E. rubromaculatus.

Neurovascular disease: 2022 update
Creators: name: McCullough, Louise D.
Publisher: name: Free Neuropathology

description: In this update we present a series of papers focused on topics that have emerged in vascular disease over the prior year. The first two papers focus on the pathogenesis of vascular malformations, the first on brain arteriovenous malformations, and the second on cerebral cavernous malformations. These disorders can lead to significant brain injuries from intracerebral hemorrhage (if they rupture) or other neurological complications, including seizures. The next set of papers reflects work that has advanced our understanding of how the brain and the immune system “communicate” after brain injury, including stroke (papers 3-6). The first of these shows that T cells are involved in white matter repair after ischemic injury, an effect dependent on microglia, demonstrating the important cross-talk between innate and adaptive immunity. The next two papers focus on B cells, which have been relatively understudied in the context of brain injury. The contribution of antigen-experienced B cells from the meninges and skull bone marrow, rather than blood-derived B cells in neuroinflammation opens up a very novel area of investigation. The possibility that antibody secreting B cells may contribute to vascular dementia will certainly be an active area for future investigations. Similarly, in paper 6, investigators found that CNS-infiltrating myeloid cells can originate from brain borders tissues. These cells have unique transcriptional signatures that are distinct from their blood-derived counterparts, and likely contribute to myeloid cell infiltration from bone-marrow niches in close proximity to the brain. The contribution of microglia, the primary innate immune cell of the brain, to amyloid deposition and propagation is then discussed, followed by work on how perivascular Aβ is potentially cleared along the cerebral vessels in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. The final two papers focus on the contribution of senescent endothelial cells and pericytes. The first used a model of accelerated senescence (Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome; HGPS) and shows the translational potential of an approach to reduce telomere shortening to slow aging. The final paper demonstrates how capillary pericytes contribute to basal blood flow resistance and slow modulation of blood flow throughout the brain. Interestingly, several of the papers identified therapeutic strategies that could be potentially translated into clinical populations.

Diagnosis. This species is distinguished by a combination of characters: the much-reduced lateral pronotal carina, which are restricted to the anterior extremities of the posterior lobe; the mottled forewing colouration, with dark markings broken by a network of white areas; the deeply emarginated posterior process of the pygophore; and often by red tinting of the pterostigma.
Specimens examined. No specimens of this species have been observed from Lord Howe Island in the present survey, though we have observed numerous mainland examples (see Tatarnic et al. 2011).
Remarks. Empicoris rubromaculatus is cosmopolitan in distribution. In Australia it is known from northern New South Wales, eastern Queensland, and both Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands.

description: Social science research is a unique enterprise. It demands certain rare and precious personal qualities such as integrity and perseverance; it seems to defy attempts to specify such elementary managerial determinations as definition of objectives, measurement of progress and assessment of results. It is unique in that many of the persons intimately involved are of a nature disinclined to concern themselves with management considerations.

description: Die moderne Lebensweise ist unmittelbar verknüpft mit einer Politik der Nicht-Nachhaltigkeit. Modern sein bedeutet, über die planetaren Verhältnisse zu leben. Demgegenüber stellt eine von Bruno Latour prominent angestoßene Debatte das Terrestrische als Prinzip und Wirkmacht in den Mittelpunkt. Der Beitrag zeigt aus der Gegenüberstellung des Terrestrischen und des Modernen als unterschiedliche Paradigmen des Weltzugangs eine Politik der Nachhaltigkeit auf, die sich an lokalen Bedürfnissen ausrichtet. Dabei wird die Tätigkeit des Reparierens als erdverbundene Weltbeziehung der Sorge rekonstruiert. Als Beispiel eines Ortes terrestrischer Daseinsvorsorge und der Versammlung auch nicht-menschlicher Akteur*innen wird das Demokratiecafé vorgestellt. Für eine Politik der Nachhaltigkeit müssten die (modernen) Menschen auf dem Erdboden landen, auf und von dem sie leben, also in der „kritischen Zone“. Mit einer terrestrischen Wende ergibt sich für die Nachhaltigkeitssoziologie eine Perspektivverschiebung, um entlang der von Bruno Latour vorgeschlagenen Attraktoren zwischen nachhaltigen und nicht-nachhaltigen Politiken und Praktiken zu unterscheiden. The modern way of life is directly linked to a policy of unsustainability. To be modern means to live beyond planetary conditions. A contrasting debate, prominently initiated by Bruno Latour, suggests to focus on the terrestrial as guiding principle and agency instead. By comparing the terrestrial and the modern as different paradigms, this paper points to a politics of sustainability that is designed by local needs. It illustrates repairing as a terrestrial way of care. Democracy Cafés are presented as an example of terrestrial public service and assembly of human and non-human actors. For a politics of sustainability, (modern) people would need to land on the territory on which and from which they live: the „critical zone“, where life on earth happens. A terrestrial turn would enable sociology of sustainability to differentiate between sustainable and non-sustainable politics and practices following the attractors suggested by Bruno Latour.

description: Städte und Gemeinden stehen schon länger vor der Herausforderung, ihre Flächeninanspruchnahme zu senken. Maßnahmen, die dieses Ziel verfolgen, werden als Suffizienzmaßnahmen beschrieben. Anders als die technikorientierten Nachhaltigkeitsstrategien der Effizienz und Konsistenz nimmt ein suffizienzorientierter Zugang die Veränderung sozialer Praktiken in den Blick und stellt die Frage nach dem „rechten Maß“. Anhand einer qualitativen Interviewstudie in 12 kommunalen Suffizienzprojekten in Deutschland und der Schweiz fragt der Beitrag, weshalb und welche Konflikte bei und infolge der Umsetzung von Suffizienzmaßnahmen auftreten und erörtert, wie diese Konflikte in größere gesellschaftliche Strukturen eingebettet sind. Da Suffizienzpolitik Verteilungsfragen nicht mit weiterem Wachstum, sondern mit Umverteilung beantwortet, nehmen Konflikte um Deprivilegierung einen zentralen Stellenwert ein. Zudem lassen sich Konflikte um die zukünftige Gestaltung der Stadt, Ressourcenkonflikte und nicht-intendierte Folgen, wie Prozesse der green gentrification, beobachten. Der soziale und ökonomische Kontext einer Wachstumsgesellschaft ist grundlegend für die Konflikthaftigkeit von Suffizienzmaßnahmen. Cities and municipalities have been facing the challenge of reducing their land use for a long time. But taking up less land is difficult and usually conflictual. Measures that pursue this goal can be described as sufficiency measures. Unlike the technology-oriented sustainability strategies of efficiency and consistency, a sufficiency-oriented approach focuses on changing social practices and asks what „enough” means. Based on a qualitative interview study in 12 municipal sufficiency projects in Germany and Switzerland, the article asks why and which conflicts arise during and as a result of the implementation of sufficiency measures and discusses how these conflicts are embedded in larger social structures. Since sufficiency policy does not answer distributional questions with further growth, but with redistribution, conflicts over deprivation of privileges take on a central role. In addition, conflicts over the future design of the city, resource conflicts and unintended consequences, such as processes of green gentrification, can be observed. The social and economic context of a growing society is fundamental to the conflictual nature of sufficiency measures. (peer reviewed)

description: Soziale Netzwerke sind ein wesentlicher Aspekt sozialer Inklusion, weswegen die vorliegende Studie die Größe und Struktur der sozialen Netzwerke, die Zufriedenheit mit dem sozialen Netzwerk und das Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit von Menschen mit IB untersuchte. Es interessierte, ob Menschen mit und ohne IB sich in diesen Variablen unterschieden. Weiter wurde untersucht, ob Menschen mit IB Unterschiede in diesen Variablen, abhängig von ihrer Wohnsituation bzw. dem Schweregrad der IB, zeigten. Die Erhebung der Personen mit IB fand mittels strukturiertem Interview und die der Personen ohne IB mittels Onlinefragebogen statt. Menschen mit und ohne IB unterschieden sich signifikant in der Größe und Struktur ihrer sozialen Netzwerke sowie im Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit. In der Zufriedenheit mit dem sozialen Netzwerk konnten keine Unterschiede gefunden werden. Menschen mit IB wiesen keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der Größe des sozialen Netzwerks je nach Wohnform bzw. Schweregrad der IB auf. Unterschiede gab es im Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit je nach Wohnsituation. Alleine lebende Menschen mit IB fühlten sich signifikant weniger zugehörig als nicht allein lebende Menschen mit IB. Dieses Ergebnis ist besonders für die Praxis relevant und zeigt Handlungsbedarf auf. Der Zusammenhang zwischen der Größe des sozialen Netzwerks und dem Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit ist ein Indiz für die Relevanz, Menschen mit IB im Ausbau ihrer sozialen Netzwerke zu unterstützen.
description: Social networks are an important aspect of social inclusion. This is the reason why the current study examined the size and structure of the social networks of people with ID. Also examined was their satisfaction with their social network and their feeling of belonging. It was interesting as well to find if people with and without ID differed in these variables. Furthermore, it was researched if people with ID showed differences in these variables and if these differences were depending on their living situation or the severity of the ID. The survey of people with ID was done using structured interviews and the people without ID were surveyed by an online questionnaire. People with and without ID differed significantly in the size and structure of their social networks and in their feeling of belonging. No differences could be found in the satisfaction with their social networks. People with ID had no significant differences in the size of their social network depending on their living situation or their severity of the ID. There were differences found in the feeling of belonging depending on the living situation. People with ID who lived alone felt significant less affiliated. This result is very important for the practical work and shows the need for action. The correlation between the size of the social network and the feeling of belonging is also an evidence for the relevance to support people with ID in the expansion of their social networks.

Empicoris scabraventris Tatarnic, Wall & Cassis 2011: 23 (new species).
Diagnosis. This species can be diagnosed by the following combination of characters: chestnut and testastaceous colouration; postocular region slightly longer than anteocular region of head; lateral carina extending full length of pronotum; discal cell approximately twice as long as wide; macrochaetae of abdomen separated from adjacent microchaetae by bare circular areas; parameres roughly parallel-sided; posterior margin of pygophore without ventral projection.
Distribution. Found in central NSW, South Australia, Tasmania and Lord Howe Island.
Specimens examined. AUSTRALIA: New South Wales: Lord Howe Island: Mt. Gower walking trail, 31.586o S 159.079o E, 28 Nov. 2000; CBCR, Australian Museum; LHIS049L leaf litter ex Broad Closed Sclerophyll Forest – Hedyscepe habitat, 13 (AM).
Remarks. This species was recently described by Tatarnic et al. (2011) from 8 specimens. With the recent discovery of this species on Lord Howe Island, we suspect that as with many Australian emesines, its range is probably greater than presently recorded.
