Fish feeding process is studied as one of the links in the transformation of the energy of a water reservoir, as one of the factors that determine the ecology of fish and make an imprint on the morphology, physiology and behavior of fish, or as one of the criteria, which help the most rationally use natural resources of the water bodies. The results of work carried out by the Northern Water Problems Institute (NWPI KarRC RAS) and Petrozavodsk State University (PetrSU) within the framework of state assignments, forecast problems and economic contractual topics on assessing the nutrition of perch species (perch, ruff) in some lakes of the Konchezero group (South Karelia), in particular Lake Munozero, which is part of the lower reaches of the river Shuya belonging to the catchment area of Lake Onega. The work was carried out by the experts from the IWPS KarRC RAS and PetrSU in 2018-2020. Its main hydrological and ichthyological indicators have been studied. The reconnaissance fish productivity of Lake Munozero based on the development of the forage base at the present stage is estimated as 9 kg/ha. The feeding spectra of ruff and perch in the lake overlap only with respect to eggs, the ruff using eggs more actively. Predation is peculiar only to perch, while even fish whose size is less than 14 cm (the average size of the transition to predation for Karelia) hunt at a time when there is a lot of other food in the reservoir. As the perch passes to summer feeding, its diet becomes more diverse. Some benthic organisms are replaced by others, an air fraction appears, the perch's diet includes fish in summer and spring; nutrition becomes more active: the average stomach fullness index increases from 7.3 to 145.6‰.

A B S T R A C TBackground Mosquito was one of the animals that can transmit deadly diseases.Information about water reservoirs as their habitat as well as human knowledge,attitudes and behavior factors are considered important to help eradicate mosquito.This study aims to determine the effect of knowledge, attitudes and behavior ofcleaners on the number of mosquito larvae in water reservoirs in Palembang.Methods This research was mixed method research (quantitative and qualitative) inthe field and laboratory. The research samples were all mosquito larvae andcontainers found. The research respondents were all cleaning services. Data werecollected by interviewing and filling in questionnaires, observing water reservoirsand identifying the types of mosquito larvae in microscope. Results A total of 40containers were found in Punti Kayu Nature Park. There were 8 containers that wereindoors (20%) and 32 containers were outdoors (80%) with 17 containers containedlarvae. Of all the containers that were positive for larvae, 6 were filled with clearwater and 11 were filled with turbid water. The number of larvae found were 358larvae outdoors and 82 larvae indoor with a total of 440 mosquito larvae with thegenus Culex spp. and Aedes albopictus species. The index of mosquito larvae wereobtained FLI (Free Larva index)=66,67%, HI (House Index)=33,33%, CI (ContainerIndex)=16,67%, BI (Breteau Index)=33.33% from the 3 buildings examined. Fromthese results, it was obtained DF (density figure) or density level of 5. There were 40containers that could be habitats for Culex spp. and Aedes albopictus. ConclusionThe knowledge, attitude and behavior of the cleaning services were good. Thenumber of mosquito larvae could be influenced by the frequency of cleaning and thelack of knowledge of the cleaning services.

Title: The Relation of Physical Setting Concept and Behavior Concept in the Front of Rectorate Building, Case Study: Yogyakarta State University Students are the "actors" in the university because of their activities. Students need a certain space in the environment around the university. It becomes interesting when students do their activities around the building that is also the environment for rector and university employees, those happened at the area in front of Yogyakarta State University (UNY) rectorate building. There was a cozy quality (fit) space in there based on perception (cognition and schemata) and adaptation of UNY students for area of the UNY rectorate building. There were some quality factors (property) which is included as environment (physical setting) that affect the activity (behavior) of UNY students. The correlation between activity (behavior pattern) and specific environmental order (physical setting) interpreted as behavior setting. The method used is deductive-qualitative with rationalist paradigm. The data obtained were the result of observation, behavior mapping, interviews, questionnaires, with induction analyzed. The results are: 1) the vertical property provided physical comfort and social comfort; 2) the proximity property provided environmental comfort; 3) the artificial lighting distribution property provided social comfort; 4) the property of which describes the situation of natural protection provided physical comfort and environmental comfort.

The study of fish diet and its interaction with the environment provides important data on ecology and behavior, as fish face varying environmental and food availability conditions. The aim of the present study was to determine the diet of Bryconops caudomaculatus and Bryconops alburnoides, as well as to assess its seasonal variation, within the area influenced by Balbina Hydroelectric Dam (BHD), in the Uatumã River (Amazon Basin, Brazil). Collections were carried out every two months from April 2005 to February 2007, using gill nets with mesh sizes ranging from 12 to 60 mm between opposite knots. Two methods were used for determining diet: frequency of occurrence and relative volume, which were used to calculate the alimentary index (IAi). Diet similarity between species was analyzed by applying the Morisita index. Bryconops alburnoides ingested 12 items and B. caudomaculatus 10, with a 59% similarity between ingested items. Terrestrial insects for B. alburnoides and immature insects for B. caudomaculatus were the main items in their diets, and therefore, they were considered insectivorous. The seasonal composition of the diet of B. alburnoides was influenced by environmental factors, and in spite of the dominance of immature insects, it had a significant number of terrestrial insects during the heavy rainfall periods.

This paper advances research on methods used to evaluate sanitation usage and behavior. The research used quantitative and qualitative methods to contribute to new understanding of sanitation practices and meanings in rural India. We estimated latrine usage behavior through ethnographic interviews and sensor monitoring, specifically the latest generation of infrared toilet sensors, Portland State University Passive Latrine Use Monitors (PLUMs). Two hundred and fifty-eight rural households in West Bengal (WB) and Himachal Pradesh, India, participated in the study by allowing PLUMs to be installed in their houses for a minimum of 6 days. Six hundred interviews were taken in these households, and in others, where sensors had not been installed. Ethnographic and observational methods were used to capture the different defecation habits and their meanings in the two study sites. Those data framed the analysis of the PLUM raw data for each location. PLUMs provided reliable, quantitative verification. Interviews elicited unique information and proved essential to understanding and maximizing the PLUM data set. The combined methodological approach produced key findings that latrines in rural WB were used only for defecation, and that low cost, pit latrines were being used sustainably in both study areas.

Stalk eye flies (Diptera: Diopsidae) is an insect family which has unique eye morphology. Their eyes are in the distal end of a long stalk. The information of species and their habitats is still very limited in Indonesia. Therefore, the objectives of this research were studying species diversity, habitat, and distribution areas of stalk eye flies in soroundings in Bogor. The sample sites are classified into three areas; lowland, middle, and upland. The flies ware taken with two methods: net sweeping and direct capture, then parts of the body were measured. The observation of stalk eye flies activity and behavior was done in the morning, midday, and afternoon. The result of observation indicated that stalk eye flies were found almost in all areas, from lowland to upland. On 15 survey locations, stalk eye flies were found in 10 locations with the same habitat. The species are Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni and Teleopsis sp.. C. dalmanni was found in 5 locations, and Teleopsis sp. in 9 locations. The observation result of stalk eye flies activity and behavior indicated that the number of stalk eye flies which captured in three period of time were not obviously different. Result from measuring stalk eye flies bodyparts indicated that the average size of male and female flies was not obviously different, except the male stalk is longer than female. In addition, C. dalmanni stalks are longer than Teleopsis sp. stalks.
