الوصف: Bioblitzes are a tool for the rapid appraisal of biodiversity and are particularly useful in remote and understudied regions and for understudied taxa. Lichens are an example of an often overlooked group, despite being widespread in virtually all terrestrial ecosystems and having many important ecological functions.We report the lichens and allied fungi collected during the 2018 terrestrial bioblitz conducted on Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada. We identified 449 specimens belonging to 189 species in 85 genera, increasing the total number of species known from Calvert Island to 194, and generated Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences for 215 specimens from 121 species. Bryoria furcellata, Chaenothecopsis lecanactidis and C. nigripunctata were collected for the first time in British Columbia. We also found Pseudocyphellaria rainierensis, which is listed as Special Concern on the federal Species at Risk Act, and other rarely reported species in British Columbia including Opegrapha sphaerophoricola, Protomicarea limosa, Raesaenenia huuskonenii and Sarea difformis. We demonstrate that DNA barcoding improves the scope and accuracy of expert-led bioblitzes by facilitating the detection of cryptic species and allowing for consistent identification of chemically and morphologically overlapping taxa. Despite the spatial and temporal limitations of our study, the results highlight the value of intact forest ecosystems on the Central Coast of British Columbia for lichen biodiversity, education and conservation.

الوصف: Aging in the face of an increasing population and growing life expectancy is considered one of the major demographic challenges in modern society. Previous research has revealed that quality of life in aging could significantly differ depending on the resources one possesses. However, little attention has been given to the mechanisms of formation of these resources and the role of intentionality. In the present study, we identified 22 strategies that favor a better life quality in aging and analyzed them from the perspective of subjective beliefs and reported performance. Our sample was adults (n = 72) aged 57–65, living in St. Petersburg, Russia. The results showed that although participants were aware of the strategies that favor aging, their reported performance ranged on a scale from average to infrequent use of these strategies. We found that subjective beliefs about the role of psychological resources for better aging predicted higher scores on subjective beliefs about the role of lifestyle resources and the reported performance of psychological resources. Our results suggest that there is a gap between subjective beliefs about the controllability of aging processes and the transformation of these beliefs into real performance.

الوصف: Crataegus monogyna Jacq. is naturalized in North America, where it has hybridized with native diploid hawthorns at least twice. We provide names for the two nothospecies (as well as for the corresponding nothosections and nothoseries), referring to existing documentation in the literature for nothosp. nov. Crataegus ×ninae-celottiae K.I. Chr. & T.A. Dickinson (C. monogyna × C. punctata Jacq.). New data are provided to further document nothosp. nov. Crataegus ×cogswellii K.I. Chr. & T.A. Dickinson (C. monogyna × C. suksdorfii (Sarg.) Kruschke). In both cases, the striking differences in leaf shape between most New World hawthorns and Old World section Crataegus, and the intermediacy of the hybrids, account for the relative ease with which these hybrids can be recognized. Finally, new sequence data from ITS2 and chloroplast DNA barcoding loci confirm the genetic relationships between the two nothospecies and their respective parents.

الوصف: BACKGROUND: DNA barcoding of rain forest trees could potentially help biologists identify species and discover new ones. However, DNA barcodes cannot always distinguish between closely related species, and the size and completeness of barcode databases are key parameters for their successful application. We test the ability of rbcL, matK and trnH-psbA plastid DNA markers to identify rain forest trees at two sites in Atlantic central Africa under the assumption that a database is exhaustive in terms of species content, but not necessarily in terms of haplotype diversity within species. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We assess the accuracy of identification to species or genus using a genetic distance matrix between samples either based on a global multiple sequence alignment (GD) or on a basic local alignment search tool (BLAST). Where a local database is available (within a 50 ha plot), barcoding was generally reliable for genus identification (95-100% success), but less for species identification (71-88%). Using a single marker, best results for species identification were obtained with trnH-psbA. There was a significant decrease of barcoding success in species-rich clades. When the local database was used to identify the genus of trees from another region and did include all genera from the query individuals but not all species, genus identification success decreased to 84-90%. The GD method performed best but a global multiple sequence alignment is not applicable on trnH-psbA. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Barcoding is a useful tool to assign unidentified African rain forest trees to a genus, but identification to a species is less reliable, especially in species-rich clades, even using an exhaustive local database. Combining two markers improves the accuracy of species identification but it would only marginally improve genus identification. Finally, we highlight some limitations of the BLAST algorithm as currently implemented and suggest possible improvements for barcoding applications.

الوصف: У статті висвітлено сутність понять «компетентний», «професійна компетентність». Зауважено, що фахівець із соціальної роботи повинен поєднувати у собі як професійні компетентності, так і особистісні. Наведено відмінні риси формування професійних (фахових) компетентностей від загальних: відбувається за допомогою лише дисциплін професійного циклу; обов’язкове проходження навчальної та виробничої практики. Встановлено, що у визначеннях щодо поняття професійної компетентності вітчизняні та зарубіжні вчені вказують на її складові. Їх думки щодо складових структури професійної компетентності переважно збігаються. Розглянуто структуру особистісного розвитку соціального працівника. Узагальнення думок вчених дозволило розглянути професійну компетентність соціального працівника у таких аспектах: актуальне, діяльнісне психічне новоутворення особистості; особистісно-професійна характеристика; професійні здібності спеціаліста; результат освіченості спеціаліста. Враховуючи аналіз зарубіжної та вітчизняної літератури розроблено теоретичну модель формування професійної компетентності соціального працівника, що складається з наступних компонентів: цільового, мотиваційного, функціонального, змістовного, діяльнісного та результативно-корекційного. Синтезувавши результати дослідження, встановлено недоліки підготовки майбутніх соціальних працівників у контексті досліджуваної проблеми (проблема проектування освітнього маршруту з урахуванням пропозицій роботодавців та самих студентів; проблема професійної підготовки викладачів до організації освітнього процесу в рамках компетентнісного підходу; проблема переважання частки теоретичних знань над практичними вміннями; проблема організації змістовної практики студентів у різних установах соціальної сфери; недостатнього рівня сформованості соціально-проектних компетентностей).

الوصف: Interaction network structure reflects the ecological mechanisms acting within biological communities, which are affected by environmental conditions. In tropical forests, higher precipitation usually increases fruit production, which may lead frugivores to increase specialization, resulting in more modular and less nested animal-plant networks. In these ecosystems, El Niño is a major driver of precipitation, but we still lack knowledge of how species interactions change under this influence. To understand bat-plant network structure during an extreme El Niño-Southern Oscillation event, we determined the links between plantivorous bat species and the plants they consume by DNA barcoding seeds and pulp in bat faeces. These interactions were recorded in the dry forest and rainforest of Costa Rica, during the dry and the wet seasons of an extreme El Niño year. From these we constructed seasonal and whole-year bat-plant networks and analysed their structures and dissimilarities. In general, networks had low nestedness, had high modularity, and were dominated by one large compartment which included most species and interactions. Contrary to our expectations, networks were less nested and more modular in drier conditions, both in the comparison between forest types and between seasons. We suggest that increased competition, when resources are scarce during drier seasons and habitats, lead to higher resource partitioning among bats and thus higher modularity. Moreover, we have found similar network structures between dry and rainforests during El Niño and non-El Niño years. Finally, most interaction dissimilarity among networks occurred due to interaction rewiring among species, potentially driven by seasonal changes in resource availability.

الوصف: Violence is one of the most widespread forms of violation of human rights in the world, which the state must defend and protect. Currently, in our country there are contradictions between the developed concept of combating domestic violence based on the interaction of various subjects and the insufficient level of its implementation due to the creation of an extensive network of specialized support services for victims. The purpose of the article is to analyze the activities of shelters that provide social services to women who are victims of domestic violence, and to justify the need to expand the existing network in Ukraine. The basic principles, mechanism of creation and financing of shelters are considered. The importance of applying world experience in this matter is substantiated. The financial support of international organizations in the process of creating shelters was studied. The study of shelter models, which are most represented in Ukraine, has been further developed. The main method used is the analysis of documents for the study of international legal agreements and national legislation on combating violence. In the course of the study, the main problems in the operation of shelters were identified. They are associated with a small number, insufficient funding, and a low level of public awareness of the availability and working conditions of institutions. The mechanism of cooperation between authorities and institutions that provide assistance to affected persons also needs coordination at the regulatory and practical levels. The following steps should be the ways of improvement: creation of an extensive network of shelters; professional development of specialists who work with women who are victims of domestic violence; increasing sources of funding for institutions, primarily through public-private partnerships.
