A catalogue of aphidiine parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) associated with various aphids species occurring in India was compiled. The present catalogue with 125 species under 22 genera has been further reinforced with not only all the latest taxonomic changes but also host names, host plants, distribution in India etc.
BACKGROUND: Geographical variation of the general practitioner (GP) workforce is known between rural and urban areas. However, data about the variation between and within urban areas are lacking.
METHOD: We analyzed distribution patterns of GP full time equivalents (FTE) in German cities with a population size of more than 500,000. We correlated their distribution with area measures of social deprivation in order to analyze preferences within neighborhood characteristics. For this purpose, we developed two area measures of deprivation: Geodemographic Index (GDI) and Cultureeconomic Index (CEI).
RESULTS: In total n = 9034.75 FTE were included in n = 14 cities with n = 171 districts. FTE were distributed equally on inter-city level (mean: 6.49; range: 5.12-7.20; SD: 0.51). However, on intra-city level, GP distribution was skewed (mean: 6.54; range: 1.80-43.98; SD: 3.62). Distribution patterns of FTE per 10^4 residents were significantly correlated with GDI (r = -0.49; p < 0.001) and CEI (r = -0.22; p = 0.005). Therefore, location choices of GPs were mainly positively correlated with 1) central location (r = -0.50; p < 0.001), 2) small household size of population (r = -0.50; p < 0.001) and 3) population density (r = 0.35; p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Intra-city distribution of GPs was skewed, which could affect the equality of access for the urban population. Furthermore, health services planners should be aware of GP location preferences. This could be helpful to better understand and plan delivery of health services. Within this process the presented Geodemographic Index (GDI) could be of use.
The Great Recession confirmed a bedrock principle of modern consumption theory: It is impossible to explain aggregate spending behavior without knowledge of the underlying microeconomic distribution of circumstances and choices across households. National accounting frameworks therefore need to be augmented by “bottom up” measures that both (a) capture the microeconomic heterogeneity (in expenditures, income, assets, debt, and beliefs) in the population and (b) sum up to statistics that have a recognizable relationship to the aggregate totals that are already reasonably well measured.
During four field trips in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan from 2010 to 2018, the author collected data of a total of 55 species (see Tab. 2 in Appendix). This study provides first insights into new or rare species in this ecoregion. Ischnura fountaineae and Cordulia aenea were found for the first time in Armenia. We also highlight the rediscovery of some species that were mentioned in the older literature but had not been confirmed since. An autochthonous population of Lestes macrostigma was discovered in Azerbaijan sixteen years after the single previous record by Dumont (2004). Original information is provided on the distribution of some rare species encountered in these countries. Finally, the identification of a puzzling Cordulegaster sp. observed in south Armenia is discussed briefly.
We provide new records of biting and predaceous midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from Guadeloupe in the subfamily Ceratopogoninae, including descriptions and illustrations of three new predaceous species in the genera, Parabezzia Malloch, Stilobezzia Kieffer and Palpomyia Meigen, respectively, and the first records of the New World predaceous genus, Amerohelea Grogan and Wirth, from the Caribbean region. We also provide the first Guadeloupe records of the biting midges, Culicoides (Anilomyia) decor (Williston), C. (Avaritia) pusillus Lutz, C. (Drymodesmyia) bredini Wirth and Blanton, C. (D.) poikilonotus Macfie, C. (Haematomyidium) hoffmani Fox, C. (Hoffmania) insignis Lutz, C. rangeli Ortiz and Mirsa and C. trilineatus Fox, and the predaceous midges, Brachypogon (Brachypogon) bifidus Spinelli and Grogan, B. (B.) telesfordi Spinelli and Grogan, B. (B.) woodruffi Spinelli and Grogan, Monohelea maya Felippe-Bauer, Huerta and Ibáñez-Bernal, Stilobezzia (Stilobezzia) diminuta Lane and Forattini, S. (S.) thomsenae Wirth, Amerohelea galindoi Grogan and Wirth, Bezzia (Bezzia) flinti Spinelli and Wirth, B. (Homobezzia) venustula (Williston) and Palpomyia insularis Spinelli and Grogan.
1970'li yıllarda özerk bir disiplin olarak kabul edilen çeviribilim, geçmişten günümüze edebiyat, psikoloji, sosyoloji, antropoloji ve tarih gibi pek çok sosyal bilim dalları ile etkileşime girdiği gibi başka alanları da etkilemiştir. Bu alanlardan biri de hiç kuşkusuz teknoloji olmuştur. 1980'li yıllarda teknolojinin gelişip değişmesi ile çeviribilim, yerelleştirme sektörünün ortaya çıkmasına aracılık etmiştir. 1990'lı yıllarda sektörün gelişmesinin sonucunda çevirmenler büyük projelerde bilgisayar destekli çeviri araçlarından daha fazla faydalanmaya başlamıştır. Sektörün ilk ortaya çıktığı zamanlardan bu yana yerelleştirmenin çeviribilimin alt dalı olup olmadığına ilişkin tartışmalar devam etmektedir. Bazı kuramcılar, çeviri ve yerelleştirmenin benzer nitelikler taşıdığını savunmasına karşın, bazı kuramcılar iki alanın da çok farklı sürece ve işleyişe sahip olduğunu dile getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, farklı kuramcıları görüşlerinden yola çıkarak yerelleştirme sürecini oluşturan küreselleştirme, uluslararasılaştırma, yerelleştirme aşamaları tanımlanıp çeviribilim ve yerelleştirme arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda, bu ilişkiden yola çıkılarak ürünlerin hedef kitleye ulaştırılması için çağdaş çeviri kuramcısı Anthony Pym tarafından kullanılan aktarım ve dağıtım kavramlarının yerelleştirme sürecinde hangi açılardan ele alındığı ve bu kavramların nasıl nitelendirildiği tartışılmıştır. Makalede aynı zamanda Pym'in yaklaşımına dayanarak yerelleştirme olgusunda ve sürecinde çevirinin işleyişi ve yeri de irdelenmiştir.
FS MARIA S. MERIAN Expedition MSM06 umfasst drei Fahrtabschnitte, die zum Ziel haben den Hydrothermalismus sowie Tiefwasser-Ökosysteme im Atlantik zu untersuchen. Der erste Fahrtabschnitt konzentriert sich auf die Untersuchung von Kaltwasserkorallen-Ökosystemen im Golf von Cádiz. Das Hauptziel ist die Identifizierung der für die Korallenverteilung verantwortlichen Kontrollfaktoren. Zudem soll untersucht werden, wie sich die Korallenökosysteme in der Vergangenheit unter sich verändernden Umweltbedingungen entwickelt haben. Der zweite Fahrtabschnitt führt zum Logatchev-Hydrothermalfeld am Mittelatlantischen Rücken im westlichen N-Atlantik. Es ist geplant eine örtlich fokussierte Studie durchzuführen, um die Ursachen für zeitliche und örtliche Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung von hydrothermalen Fluiden sowie deren Auswirkungen auf Vent-Lebensgemeinschaften zu erforschen. Fahrtabschnitt 3 führt zu einem weiter östlich, direkt südlich des Äquators, gelegenen Bereich des Mittelatlantischen Rückens. Hier soll der Einfluss großmaßstäblicher magmatischer und tektonischer Prozesse an Hydrothermalsystemen in vier verschiedenen Vent-Feldern untersucht werden. Um die genannten Detail-Untersuchungen in den einzelnen Untersuchungsgebieten durchführen zu können, ist v.a. der Einsatz eines ferngesteuerten Tauchroboters (ROV) auf allen 3 Fahrtabschnitten von besonderer Bedeutung. Dies unterstreicht, wie neue Technologien, wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zu einem bis dato unerreichten Niveau der Detailgenauigkeit verhelfen.
A checklist of the Scarabaeoidea (except Passalidae) of the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) is presented for the first time. Both recorded and potential species are included, the latter defined as being recorded from Brazil north of the Amazon/Rio Negro main channel or from Venezuela east of the Orinoco main channel. The checklist contains a total of 930 species and subspecies, with 265 validly recorded from Guyana (eight new country records), 388 from Suriname (146 new country records), 531 from French Guiana (four new country records) and 177 additional species recorded from contiguous areas of neighboring Brazil and Venezuela.
