New estimates of median body length at sexual maturity (L50) are presented for females of ehu (Etelis carbunculus) and kalekale (Pristipomoides sieboldii) in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI); these are compared with published estimates for females of each species in the north-western Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). This case study illustrates the general importance of identifying regional and subregional variations in species’ life histories when estimating parameters for input to stock assessments. L50 values differed somewhat between the two species, but greatly between the MHI and NWHI for each species. Size-standardised ovary weights were greater in the NWHI v. MHI for all-sized fish of both species and nominally greater at larger body sizes among the mature females of both species in the MHI compared with the NWHI. L50 was smaller in the MHI compared with NWHI for females of both species. The mean (±s.e.m.) L50 for female ehu was 23.4±0.3- v. 27.2±1.0-cm fork length (FL) in the MHI v. NWHI respectively. For female kalekale, the respective estimates were 23.8±0.3 and 28.6±0.7cm FL. Possible determinants of these subregional geographic variations in L50, including latitude, productivity and history of extraction by Hawaiian bottomfish fisheries, are discussed.

The crimson jobfish Pristipomoides filamentosus (locally known as ‘opakapaka’ in Hawaii) is a deep-water eteline lutjanid that supports important commercial and recreational fisheries in Hawaii and throughout much of the Indo-Pacific region. It is one of the most commonly caught species of the ‘Deep-7’ bottomfish species complex in the commercial bottomfish fishery of Hawaii. However, there are currently no validated estimates of median body sizes at sexual maturity that can be used in a comprehensive evaluation of the species’ stock status within Hawaiian bottomfish fisheries. Herein we provide size-at-maturity estimates for the species in the main Hawaiian Islands: median length at maturity of 40.7-cm fork length (FL; 95% confidence interval (CI) 40.3–41.2cm) for females and 34.3cm FL (95% CI 33.3–35.3cm) for males, with respective equivalent median weight-at-maturity estimates of ~1.17 and ~0.70kg (2.58 and 1.55 lb). We suggest these newly available data be seriously considered in any future evaluations of minimum size regulations, currently set at ~0.45kg (1 lb) regardless of sex, for the species’ fisheries in Hawaii.

The Ixil Maya area is located in Quiche Department of the north-western part of the Guatemalan Highlands. It has witnessed a continuous occupation since the 1st millennium BC till today. This archaeologically interesting region has provided many important discoveries of rare cultural mixture, with distinct features typical for both Maya Highlands and more distant Lowlands. Recently, the scholarly interest has focused on Chajul where a few years ago, in one of the local houses, well preserved wall paintings dated to the Colonial period were exposed by the house owner during the process of its renovation. With this extraordinary finding a question emerged - are we able to confirm the cultural continuity between the pre-Columbian settlers and modem Ixil who claim «to be always here»? This paper presents a brief outline of the history of the Ixil Maya. It also presents results of some recent and preliminary studies conducted by Polish scholars in this region.

Introduction. History of the North-West area of Novgorod land at the end of the XV century attracted the attention of researchers mainly in the socio-economic aspect. This is due to the fact that Novgorod scribal books are dated by the end of the XV century. From the standpoint of socio-economic history their value is not in doubt, but from an ethno-historical point their onomastic content is underestimated. Materials and methods. The main source of research was the scribe book of the Vodskaya Pyatina 1499/1500. The descriptive method of research is to identify and record the Baltic-Finnish oikonyms (names of rural settlements) and anthroponyms mentioned in the scribe books. Baltic-Finnish anthroponyms are identified on the basis of an analysis of formal indicators of borrowing the anthroponyms. Results and Discussion. There are several areas where the Baltic-Finnish oikonymy and anthroponymy were concentrated, namely Korboselsky graveyard in the northern Prinevye, Lopsky and Terebuzhsky graveyards in the southern Ladoga, as well as Dudorovsky and Izhora graveyards south of the Neva. Archaeological sources record a significant presence of the Izhora antiquities. The presence of Karelians is noted in the northern Prievye and southern Ladoga. Slavic onomastic materials are recorded throughout Orekhovsky and Ladoga counties, but to mostly in the cities of Oreshka, Ladoga and their nearest areas. Conclusion. By the end of the XV century the north-western graveyards of Novgorod land were inhabited by representatives of various ethnic groups: Slavs, Vodians, Izhora and Karelians, as evidenced by the data of anthroponyms and toponyms of the scribe’s books and confirmed by archaeological sources.

O artigo objetiva problematizar modelos hegemônicos de feminilidade a partir da história de vida de duas mulheres que experienciaram o sertão às margens do rio São Francisco (MG), habitando o município homônimo ao rio. Busca ainda entender como elas representam a si mesmas e a outras mulheres; como foram construídas as relações de gênero e os sentidos que constituem o feminino no sertão norte-mineiro na primeira metade do século XX. Partimos da compreensão de que as relações de gênero não são estáticas e permanentes e que as representações acerca do feminino são históricas, ou seja, não é possível generalizar um modelo de feminilidade para todos os estratos sociais e para todos os contextos geo-históricos.

MARIA, MARIA: life histories of women in the backwoods of the São Francisco (MG) Abstract: The article aims to problematize hegemonic models of femininity from the life history of two women who experienced the backwoods on the banks of the São Francisco river (MG), inhabiting the homonymous municipality to the river. Also, it seeks to understand how they represent themselves and other women; how the gender relations were built and the meanings that constitute the feminine in the north of Minas Gerais backwoods, in the first half of the twentieth century. We start from the understanding that gender relations are not static and permanent and that the representations about the feminine are historical, that is, it is not possible to generalize a model of femininity for all social strata and for all geohistorical contexts. Keywords: Gender. Women. Backwoods.

At one of the meetings of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, I made a very short communication on the three blood-sucking midges (Jobling, 1929). My particular reference was to Culicoides vexans, which is the most troublesome and commonestspecies in spring, in the northern and the north-western suburbs of London. At that time I had been studying the life history of this midge, including the morphology of its eggs, larvae and the pupa, but this work was not completed.

Introduction. On the southern coast of Lake Onega there is a significant layer of Baltic-Finnish geographical names. The medieval ethnic history of this region remains poorly understood. This is due to the fact that the Novgorod scribal books date back to the end of the XV century, the toponymic and anthroponymic material of which remains not quite sought after by historians. The study of this material makes it possible to shed light on the ethnic history of the southern Obonezhye. Materials and Methods. The main source of research was the scribal book of Obonezhskaya pyatina of 7004 (1495/96). The descriptive method of research consists in identifying and fixing Baltic-Finnish oikonyms (names of rural settlements) and anthroponyms mentioned in the scribal book. It revealed Baltic-Finnish anthroponyms by analyzing the formal indicators of adoption of anthroponyms. Results and Discussion. According to the toponymy and anthroponymy of the scribal book, the population of the southern Obonezhye was mixed: it consisted of Slavs, Karelians and Vepsians. Karelians were present on the Olonets isthmus and in the south-western Prionezhye. This is largely explained due to the migration flow of Karelians from the north-western Ladoga area. The Vepsians lived in vast areas of the south-eastern and south-western Prionezhye, the Svir River basin and Oshta. Ethnographic studies have shown that many Vepsian settlements survived from the end of the XV to the middle of the XX – the beginning of the XXI century. Conclusion. The scribal book in the surviving fragments and Novgorodian acts indicate that by the end of the XV century the southern coast of Lake Onegа was inhabited by various ethnic groups: Slavs, Karelians and Vepsians, as evidenced by the anthroponyms and toponyms of the southern part of Obonezhye.

Territorial public self-government (TPSG) is one of the forms of direct democracy at the place of residence. Bodies of territorial public self-government are street, house, and district committees. They are created by citizens to solve local problems. This is mainly landscaping and housing and communal services. Russia has gained some experience in the development of territorial public self-government bodies. The article describes the history of the emergence of civil self-government in the USSR, in more detail - the experience of the development of TPSG bodies in the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, and Perm regions, the current situation in them, as well as in the North-Western Russia and in the Russian Federation as a whole. The legal, administrative, financial and political problems of the territorial public self-government development are analyzed.
