Three new species of Collembola are described from small shallow caves in Southeastern Brazil: Arrhopalites glabrofasciatus sp. nov., Pseudosinella ambigua sp. nov. and Pseudosinella guanhaensis sp. nov. The species were found in surveys performed as part of the process to accomplish the permits for high impact enterprising. The change in the legislation is discussed and a suggestion is made to improve the process. The long term effects of the law resulted in the discovery of many new species and genera, most of them being (or to be) described.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the various factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination acceptance and actual intake among older Germans aged over 75 years old (n = 1037). We found that the intention to get vaccinated or intake of the COVID-19 vaccine were positively related to the perceptions of becoming infected, perceptions of the severity of the potential long-term effects, the vaccine’s efficacy, and the benefits of vaccination. Meanwhile, the intention to get the vaccine or vaccine intake were decreased by perceptions of the negative side-effects and the general impediments to vaccination.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown on March 2020 till date, measures like hand hygiene, social distancing and testing have worked only partially to contain the cases and deaths. Cooper and Nair Hospitals were amongst the nodal centres identied in January 2021 to launch the Nationwide Vaccination drive in Mumbai. Aim: To highlight the pattern of vaccination roll-out, procedures in various phases and discuss concerns, challenges and effect on our workforce and workplan. Methodology: We reviewed the patterns, uptake of vaccine, procedures and problems faced by our vaccination centres from January 15 till April 30 (4 months). We also looked into adverse events following immunization (AEFI) reported. th th Results: Over 68,000 vaccine doses have been administrated in Cooper alone by April end, and issues were analysed in detail with special reference to logistics & challenges. AEFI were very few. We found that initially anxiety about side effects, concerns about choice of vaccine and long-term effects were the major impediments to vaccination. Later on, the demand exceeded the supply. Conclusion: Although vaccination is not the nal answer, it is an important tool to improve our response to the pandemic. Reviewing, restructuring available resources is essential in pandemic situations. Proper planning, counselling and choice in the way forward in this crisis.

Euglossa (Euglossella) jacquelynae sp. n., from Central Brazil, Euglossa solangeae sp. n., from coastal southeastern Brazil, and Euglossa (Euglossa) sovietica sp. n., from the western Brazilian Amazon, are described as new species. Euglossa solangeae sp. n. is believed to belong to the Euglossa stellfeldi Moure species group—a discussion on the placement of this group is also presented – and Euglossa sovietica sp. n. is treated as a member of Euglossa purpurea Friese species group.

The literature on neuroleptics with substance-specific long-term effects (fluspirilene, penfluridol) is reviewed in tabular form. This is followed by a report of personal investigations on 76 schizophrenics who were treated with fluspirilene initially within the hospital and later on an out-patient basis, on 86 patients who were treated with it exclusively at the out-patients' department, as well as on 123 schizophrenic psychoses treated with penfluridol in the out-patients' department. The side-effects caused by the two substances are compared. Pre-requisites for effective long-term therapy with a few complications are discussed.
