This article deals with the results of study of species content and basic peculiarities of beaked mites-Phytoseiidae in plant associations of one of the regional centers of Ukraine. The species composition and distribution of mites-Phytoseiidae (Parasitiformes, Phytoseiidae) in plantations of Brovary town of Kyiv region were determined. Fourteen species of 8 genera of phytoseiid mites were found. Index of their existing and relative biotope connection of each registered species to vegetation types and plant species were computed. The study was conducted according to the results of material treatment on the territory of the mentioned city from 25 species of plants (16 species of hardy-shrub and 9 of herbaceous vegetations). The studies of distribution of plant-living mites-Phytoseiidae were conducted separately for hardy-shrub and herbaceous plants). The collection of faunistic material was executed during the vegetation of periods of 2011 and 2013. Within the city the collection of the material was conducted with hardy-shrub plants and herbaceous type of vegetation along the streets, in parks and squares of Brovary city of Kyiv region, district center, one of the satellite-cities of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The study of species complexes characteristics of mites was conducted with usage of data calculated on the basis of frequency index (Is), degree of relative habitat confinedness (F) (Pesenko, 1982) and domination index Paliy-Kovnatski (Di) (Shitikov, 2003). Only on one species of plant (F=1) 6 species of mites-Phytoseiidae were found – T.сotoneastri on blue spruce, T. laurae – on common spruce, T. aceri – on ash-leaved maple, P. incognitus – on dog-rose, P. soleiger – on mulberry-tree, A. caudiglans – on sea-buckthorn. These species can be related to stenoecic. The mentioned species are stenotopic only in relation to the sample of plants from the plant associations of Brovary, as in other regions these species of mites can populate the other species of plants. The rest 8 species, being registered on two or more types of plants, are related to euryoecic. Among them there is a group of 6 species with “positive tendencies to population of plants”, owning the indicators of habitat confinedness 0<F<1: A. andersoni (0,92–0,96), A. rademacheri (0,85–0,96), N. herbarius (0,92–0,96), T. tiliarum (0,66–0,77), A. pirianykae (0,73–0,99), A. clavata (0,82–0,98). The rest species, E. finlandicus и K. aberrans, have the expanded range of indicators in relation to habitat confinedness (-0,71<F<0,55 и -0,16<F<0,88), that specifies on their ability to populate the big quality of species. E. finlandicus has the negative indicator of relative habitat confinedness in relation to the plants of herbaceous morphotype that serves confirmation of the ecological peculiarity of the species detected earlier. The data of relative habitat confinedness of mites to certain species of plants shows availability of stenoecic (T.сotoneastri, T. laurae, T. aceri, P. incognitus, P. soleiger, A. caudiglans) and euryoecic species (A. andersoni, A. rademacheri, N. herbarius, E. finlandicus, K. aberrans, T. tiliarum, A. pirianykae, A. clavata).

The present study aims to investigate, through the discourse of the child in cancer treatment, the psychosocial aspects of the child with the family and the team and how they influence the treatment. The study was carried out by means of a case study, with three pediatric children, in a Hospital in the city Goiania, aged between 6 and 8 years. In order to do so, clinical research had as its theoretical approach the Health Psychology, maintaining the biopsychosocial and interdisciplinary model. The results show that the experiences experienced by the children elucidate the psychosocial aspects as a significant factor in the quality of the treatment offered. Although other factors are involved in the success of the treatment, it can be affirmed that the presence of a harmonious family environment allows the child to develop with more security and resilience in face of the conditions presented to him. Aspectos Psicossociais: Interferências na Criança em Tratamento Oncológico O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar, por meio do discurso da criança em tratamento oncológico, os aspectos psicossociais da criança com a família e a equipe e como estes influenciam no tratamento. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de estudo de caso, com três crianças da pediatria, num Hospital da cidade Goiânia, com idades entre 6 e 8 anos. Para tanto, a investigação clínica teve como abordagem teórica a Psicologia da Saúde, mantendo o modelo biopsicossocial e interdisciplinar. Os resultados demostram que as experiências vivenciadas pelas crianças elucidam os aspectos psicossociais como fator significativo na qualidade do tratamento oferecido. Embora outros fatores estejam envolvidos no sucesso do tratamento, pode-se afirmar que a presença de um ambiente familiar harmônico possibilita à criança desenvolver-se com mais segurança e resiliência diante das condições a ela apresentadas.

Coniferous trees and shrubs growing in natural stands are important reservoirs of naturally-occurring predators belonging to the family Phytoseiidae (Mesostigmata: Phytoseioidea). The fauna of these mites on eight native coniferous species in Poland was surveyed and an exploratory statistical investigation was carried out into mite-conifer associations. The conifers were growing in forests, national parks and nature reserves throughout Poland. A total of 2,540 specimens of phytoseiids belonging to nine species was identified. Four species were new for the Polish fauna, i.e., Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) inopinatus (Wainstein), T. (A.) caucasicus (Abbasova), T. (A.) singularis Chant and Neoseiulus gracilentus (Hirschmann). Among the studied coniferous taxa, Picea abies (L.) H. Karst supported the greatest numbers of both species and individual mites. The highest biodiversity indexes for the phytoseiids were obtained for Taxus baccata L. and Juniperus communis L. Among the phytoseiid species found, T. (T.) tiliae Oudemans occurred on all eight host species surveyed. Typhlodromus (A.) bakeri (Garman) and T. (T.) tiliae were the most dominant species and occurred on conifers with high constancy. Amblyseius andersoni (Chant) co-dominated with them on J. communis and P. abies. New to the knowledge of Phytoseiidae-host plant records were T. (A.) singularis on P. abies, T. (T.) tiliae on Pinus mugo Turra, Pi. cembra L., J. communis and T. baccata, N. gracilentus on J. communis and Pi. mugo, and T. (A.) inopinatus on Abies alba Mill., Larix decidua Mill. and P. abies. Additionally, for Poland, new Phytoseiidae-host plant associations were T. (A.) inopinatus on Pinus sylvestris L., T. (A.) bakeri on J. communis and T. baccata, T. (A.) caucasicus on A. alba, T. baccata and P. abies, and T. (A.) singularis on L. decidua.

<p class="AbstractText">Nowadays, when the fast-paced world is presented almost everyone's life, the role of the rest and the recreation is gettting more emphasized. It becomes more important to the people where, with whom and in what kind of circumstances they are willing to spend their free time, and how much money they are willing to pay for it. They can find recreation in countless type of tourism, depending on they wish to spend their rest actively or passively. The growing demand of tourism infers the growing supply of tourism and diversity too. Parallel to this the needs of the people who want to relax increase. In case of a tourist destination it is more and more determinative how they can offer various types and quality of services for their guests how they can cooperate in the region in the area or in the same settlement with other service-units, who can even be their competitors. Mórahalom in Hungary is a good example for that where the cooperation between the several service-units is exemplary. That is why I choose my research’s topic: analyzing the Thermál Panzió in Mórahalom. The accommodation service is an area where services are used by all age-group regardless of age and gender. Thus, the target group could include almost everybody. The purpose of my work is to examine the importance of the Thermál Panzió, on the other hand, to do the interrelation and relationship testing among the guests of the pension. The latter is done after the results of my quantitative research among the guests in the pension in 2013. My research focuses on three aims</p><p class="AbstractText">A1: To examine the coverage -, the requisition of the offered services-, the price-value ratio of the rooms-, and the family-friendly nature of the Thermál Panzió among the guests.</p><p class="AbstractText">A2: To map the relationship of the pension’s guests and Mórahalom (visiting of the city, knowledge of attractions).</p>A3: Examination of the guests of the Thermál Panzió (with whom, with what, and when they arrived).

AbstractThe Aşağ Fırat River is located in the south-eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The water quality of the Aşağ Fırat River basin has been degrading for some time, primarily as the result of pollutants associated with the discharges from numerous domestic and agricultural point sources. Aquatic macroinvertebrate samples were collected from eight lakes conducted by using both hand-nets and an Ekman-Birge grab sampler during the summer and autumn of 2014, focusing on the species composition and distribution of aquatic oligochaetes in eight lakes of the Aşağ Fırat River basin, and their relationships with physico-chemical parameters measured in those lakes using Principal Component Analysis. Results of analyses of all identified benthic macroinvertebrates clearly indicate the percent dominance of oligochaetes in benthic samples in the eight dam lakes that were sampled: Hacıhıdır lake (62.9%); Atatürk lake (49.6%); Üçöz lake (28.9%); Dumluca lake (22.01%); Seve lake (13.9%); Çat lake (8.5%); Karakaya lake (7.8%) and Birecik lake (5%). During this study, 1044 oligochaete specimens representing 10 species of two subfamilies within the family Naididae were identified. The most abundant taxa were

Increasing traffic causes not only communication difficulties, but also contributes to increasing air pollution and increasing noise levels. In an urban environment it is quite cumbersome, compact buildings, sometimes the proximity of industrial plants, contributes to the intensification of this phenomenon. By establishing a paid entry to selected areas, thus introducing zones covering the district, center or the whole city, it is possible to significantly influence the quality of the transport network in this area. The paper analyzes the EU regulations regarding emission limit values for vehicles sold in its area. There are also discussed threats resulting from excessive traffic in the city, such as air pollution, on the example of the city of Warsaw. The effects of excessive air pollution are also presented. The paper presents the concept of a system of paid entry to the city, based on the example of the Warsaw district of Śródmieście. The logical architecture of the system is presented, as well as an example of the arrangement of devices in one of the entrance points to the zone, using the existing infrastructure for this purpose.

Objective: To understand the expectations of the educational actions of 41 nurses in the nursing consultation for oncologic clients when they indicate a central venous catheter (CVC) for treatment. Method: Phenomenological qualitative research with 41 nurses indicating the use of CVC for treatment in oncologic clients of two units of a federal public hospital institution located in the city of Rio de Janeiro and specialized in oncology. Semi-structured interviews were used and the data were analyzed according to Alfred Schütz's conceptions. Results: It was possible to identify the following categories: promoting comfort and safety for both the client and the professional; demystifying the use of the central venous catheter for the client; obtaining the client's collaboration. Conclusion: The findings of the study revealed that the nurses aim to promote comfort and safety for the oncologic client throughout the treatment to prevent complications, even in cases where there is no prospect of cure.  These professionals aim to sensitize the client to a possible change in behavior and that should be shared among the professionals of the multidisciplinary team of an interdisciplinary knowledge, the client, the family member in the search for the quality of appropriate and unique treatment.

The amount of elderly people who reported having some difficulty hearing according to the last Census in 2010 exceeds 21,6% (9.717.328 individuals). The impact of a hearing loss resulting from the aging process may prevent the elderly from fully exercising their daily living activities, their autonomy, the ability to communicate, it also affects family and social relationships and can lead to isolation. The purpose of this study was to discuss hearing health in the face of aging in Primary Care. The sample consisted of elderly individuals, users of a health center, in the city of Campinas-SP. The instruments used in the research were 3 questionnaires. In addition, the elderly underwent inspection of the external acoustic meatus - meatoscopy and the holding of five group meetings to discuss topics related to hearing. Twelve elderly people participated in the study. The ages ranged from 61 to 78 years old. One subject was referred for auditory evaluation following the flow of the auditory health network of the township and two for removal of wax stopper in the care unit. There was evolution in the medical records of all the subjects who participated in the research. Five 30-minute meetings were proposed and held, with specific themes at each meeting. The questionnaires used enabled the referrals to other services. It was possible to sensitize the family health team about how hearing corroborates the quality of life of the elderly people

Free-living bryozoans, unlike most cheilostomes, live unattached from the substratum on or within soft sedimentary bottoms. Bryozoans of the family Cupuladriidae Lagaaij, 1952 are probably the best-studied free-living representatives. In Brazil, eight species of cupuladriids have been reported to date, including some regarded as species complexes. This paper documents cupuladriid taxa from northeastern and northern Brazil based on the examination of 1236 colonies. Three species previously reported from Brazil are described: Cupuladria monotrema (Busk, 1884), Discoporella gemmulifera Winston & Vieira, 2013 and Discoporella salvadorensis Winston, Vieira & Woollacott, 2014. A new species, Cupuladria minuta n. sp., is erected; it differs from its congeners in having small, flat discoid colonies, with the central area up to the fifth astogenetic generation composed of vicarious avicularia with an auriform opesia, and quadrangular to rectangular basal sectors with 1–6 small openings per sector. Our results suggest that four species previously recorded from Brazil are doubtful—Cupuladria canariensis (Busk, 1859), Cupuladria biporosa Canu & Bassler, 1923, Discoporella umbellata (Defrance, 1923) and Discoporella depressa (Conrad, 1841). Some Brazilian specimens previously assigned to Discoporella umbellata var. conica are re-assigned to D. salvadorensis. The species studied here frequently co-occur on mainly sandy and muddy bottoms at 8–130 m depth, as it is typical of most living populations of cupuladriids. The sedimentation rate, and thus the bottom composition, likely influence the distribution of cupuladriids in Brazil, with Cupuladria species being more common in stabler and coarser sea bottoms than Discoporella species, which tend to be more broadly distributed.
