A survey of the saproxylic invertebrate fauna of the Cadzow oaks parkland, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, part of the Hamilton High Parks Site of Special Scientific Interest, was undertaken between April 2017 and April 2018, with additional prior test trapping having started in August 2016. Several different search methodologies were utilised, including Owen emergence traps, flight interception traps, hollow tree traps, and rot hole traps. Large numbers of a non-target group of insects - thrips (Order Thysanoptera) - were noted in some of the traps from the first batch to be examined and separated out for analysis. A total of 370 individuals from eight species was identified, with 85.1% of these thrips being collected by three Owen emergence traps, a novel methodology for determining the presence, or abundance, of dispersing Thysanoptera. The majority (92.4%) of the thrips represented two fungal-feeding phlaeothripid species, Hoplothrips pedicularius and H. semicaecus. This is the first report of H. semicaecus from Scotland.

Socio Economic Impact

English Nature has negotiated substantial stocking reductions (up to 60%) on a number of upland Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cumbria with the objective of restoring their vegetation quality. Because concerns were raised about possible socio-economic effects of these conservation regimes English Nature asked stakeholders to set out their concerns. Consultants were then requested to review and assess these for English Nature action. This paper summarises specific aspects of the conclusions of this research and the conclusions of a workshop to whom the report was presented.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the historical and cultural potential of the Ingal valley as a unique archaeological site in the south of the Tyumen region. Monuments of the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages of special scientific interest are highlighted. Key problems of development of this area are identified. In the context of the development of the Ingal valley, methods have been proposed for showing archaeological objects (museification and “living archeology”) and the possibility of creating an archaeological museum in this territory in the form of an archaeological park, museum-reserve or museum of living history. The development of the concept of the project “Ingala valley tourist complex” was proposed”.

This article focuses on the study of territorial self-government as one of the most relevant forms of the local community functioning. A special scientific interest in it is due to its exceptional ability for self-organization, which makes it possible to realize the potential of citizens in solving local issues. The authors present an analysis of two main trends in the formation of the TSG system and structure - administrative and initiative - and their organizational potential. The study of the organizational structure of territorial self-government and the forms of its implementation reveals a number of specific features of TSG. Particular attention in the article is paid to the analysis of the TSG of the Far Eastern Federal District, the problems of the functioning of this form of self-organization and the prospects for development

Salthill Quarry, Clitheroe, Lancashire (Mississippian, early Visean, Chadian) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest on the basis of its diverse fauna of invertebrates preserved in a Waulsortian mud mound setting. Important new specimens are described from the limestones and thin mudstones of the Hodder Mudstone Formation, on the southern margin of the quarry. A rare echinoid, archaeocidarid? gen. et sp. indet., is incomplete, but unusually retains the original curvature of the test. A columnal of Bystrowicrinus (col.) westheadi Donovan was derived from a radicular runner and has a dense cluster of radice scars on one side only. The columnal had a wedge-like section, thus suggesting a curvature of the stem. A cluster of solitary rugose corals on the base of a limestone bed includes at least two geniculated specimens in life position, the calice raised above the base of the bed. This is more likely to be due to burial in situ than a current accumulation. Ostiocavichnus Bohatý et al. is not an ichnotaxon, but a palaeopathology identified as a swollen crinoid pluricolumnal; broadly analogous structures are identified in fossil decapod crustaceans.

ABSTRACT An 11 yr old spayed female domestic longhair cat was presented for an acute onset of vomiting. Abdominal radiographs and ultrasound revealed severe gastric dilatation (GD) without evidence of gastric outflow obstruction. On esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the duodenal mucosa was mildly erythematous, and a moderate, diffuse, chronic enteritis was found by histological examination of duodenal biopsies. Large numbers of Sarcina-like bacteria without associated inflammation were present in gastric mucosal biopsies. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of GD associated with colonization by Sarcina-like bacteria in a cat. Gastric colonization by Sarcina-like bacteria should be suspected when cats are presented with acute onset of GD and vomiting.

This report describes a 14-year-old Pit Bull dog presenting with a soft tissue swelling of 3-month progression in the right sublingual region. Histopathological analysis of the surgically resected specimen revealed large numbers of mature adipocytes and islets consisting of mucin-containing atrophic acini and dilated ducts surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule. Findings were consistent with sialolipoma of the sublingual salivary gland. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of sialolipoma affecting the sublingual salivary gland in dogs.

A 2-month-old female Persian cat that had been showing episodes of anorexia and diarrhea for the previous 4 weeks was presented in shock and died 2 days later. Numerous Gram-positive cocci were located along the brush border of small intestinal villi, without significant inflammatory infiltration. Similar bacteria were present within hepatic bile ducts and pancreatic ducts and were associated with suppurative inflammation and exfoliation of epithelial cells. Culture of the liver and lung yielded bacteria identified as Enterococcus hirae. Fecal culture from an asymptomatic adult female from the same cattery also yielded large numbers of E. hirae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. hirae enteropathy in a cat and the first report of ascending cholangitis and ductal pancreatitis caused by an Enterococcus spp.

Modern Era

The modern era of active urbanization actualizes the study of city-wide processes. But back in the days of policies, Aristotle wrote that “Cities are people, not buildings”, so you should first focus on the features of the urban lifestyle of a city man (Homo Urbanus), its existence and ways for adapting to intense tempo and megaspace. Extraordinary situations that can change quickly and dramatically the city are of special scientific interest: social and natural disasters, revolutions, wars, strikes, epidemics, special life conditions. The main purpose of this publication is to invite a reader to analyze and discuss problems of what worldview positions the current shock can bring us – the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown Keywords: Homo Urbanus, lockdown, metropolis, “third places”, online communication, smart-city
