Pygmy whitefish (Prosopium coulteri) were recorded for the first time from the Copper River drainage in Alaska (from Tazlina, Klutina, and Tonsina lakes). Morphology of the specimens indicate affinity to the Lake Superior and Waterton Lake populations, falling outside the ranges previously established for "low-rakered" and "high-rakered" forms found in Alaska. Based on geographical proximity, however, probable origin for these fish is from an upper Yukon River unglaciated refugium. Key words: pygmy whitefish, Copper River, Alaska, morphology, Yukon River, unglaciated refugium

Pygmy whitefish (Prosopium coulteri) are recorded for the first time from the Peel–Mackenzie river drainage (Elliott Lake, Yukon Territory) and from the Hudson Bay drainage (Waterton Lakes, Alberta, in the South Saskatchewan–Nelson river system). The morphology of specimens from both localities contradicts the previously known pattern of a southeastern "low-rakered" and a northwestern "high-rakered" form (with the two forms occurring sympatrically in some lakes of the Bristol Bay area). Specimens from Elliott Lake, the most northerly known locality, resemble the southeastern form and those from Waterton Lakes the northwestern form. Both Waterton and Elliott lakes lie close to unglaciated refugia, suggesting that the species may have survived Wisconsin glaciation and diverged in several different watersheds.

Forty-six species of parasites (14 Protozoa, 7 Monogenea, 7 Digenea, 8 Cestoda, 2 Acanthocephala, 4 Nematoda, 3 Copepoda, and 1 Hirudinoidea) were recovered from 383 specimens of 8 species of fishes collected from Aishihik and Stevens lakes, Yukon Territory, during the summer of 1973. Four species, Chloromyxum dubium Auerbach, 1908, C. esocinum Dogiel, 1934, Sphaerospora cristata Shulman, 1962 (all Protozoa), and Crepidostomum metoecus Braun, 1900 (Digenea) are reported for the first time from North America.Aspects of the systematics and distribution of several species are discussed and the following new synonymies recognized: Tetraonchus rauschi Mizelle and Webb, 1953 with T. borealis (Olsson, 1893) (Monogenea);Cystidicola stigmatura (Leidy, 1886) with C. farionis Fischer, 1798; and Raphidascaris canadensis Smedley, 1933 with R. acus (Bloch, 1779) (both Nematoda).Substantial differences in the parasite fauna of Aishihik and Stevens lakes are noted; the possible consequences of the introduction of species of potential economic and pathogenic importance e.g. Henneguya zschokkei (Gurley, 1893), Hexamita salmonis (Moore, 1923) (both Protozoa), Discocotyle sagittata (Leuckart, 1842) (Monogenea), Neoechinorhynchus rutili (O. F. Müller, 1780) (Acanthocephala), and Triaenophorus nodulosus (Pallas, 1781) (Cestoda) into new areas as a result of the proposed diversion of Stevens Lake (Yukon River system) into Aishihik Lake (Alsek River system) are discussed.

The study use intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection proceduce for chalazion treatment.1. Objectives: To evaluate results of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection for chalazion treatment. 2. Method: This noncomparative prospective interventional trial included 72 chalazions of 61 patients. 3. Results: 61 patients (72 chalazions) with 19 males (31.1%) và 42 females (68.9%), the mean age was 24 ± 9,78 years. 31.1% patients was the first time chalazion and 68.9% patients was more than one times chalazion including 78.6% patients was recurrent at the first position and 21.4% patients occur at new position. 72 chalazions with 16 (22.2%) chalazions was treated before and 56 (77.8%) chalazions wasn’t done that. 72 chalazions with 49 chalazions (68.1%) are local in upper eyelid and 23 chalazions (31.9%) are local in lower eyelid. The mean of chalazion diameter is 6.99 ± 3.03mm. Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide is injected to treat 72 chalazions with 16 (22.2%) chalazions are injected through the route of skin and 56 (77.8%) chalazions are injected through the route of conjunctiva. After 2 weeks follow-up, the success rate was 93.1% and 6.9% failed. 4. Conclusion: intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection for chalazion treatment is really effective. Key words: chalazion, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide.

Quantitative attemps to assess species diversity in the absence of a robust taxonomy are questioned. In addition, the sampling methods may be a major source of uncertainty, as illustrated in a commented biodiversity study of the Coleoptera of Sabah. The Sabah members of the staphylinid genus Baeocera Erichson are reviewed and keyed, the following new species are described: B. omnigena Löbl sp. nov., B. rudis Löbl sp. nov., B. secreta Löbl sp. nov., B. sedata Löbl sp. nov., B. segregata Löbl sp. nov., B. seiugata Löbl sp. nov., B. semirufa Löbl sp. nov. Baeocera barbara Löbl, B. obliqua (Löbl), B. rufula (Löbl) and B. serendibensis (Löbl) are reported for the first time from Malaysia, B. doriae (Pic) and B. sarawakensis Löbl are new to Sabah and B. kinabalua Löbl is new to Sarawak. Key words: biodiversity, trends, taxonomy, insects, shining fungus beetles, Borneo

<p>Parents are obliged to take care of their children’s future, especially by rendering sufficient education. Children are believed to bring about happiness every now and then, who generate family’s pride up to the almighty judication.

Territory of the upper reaches of Western Bug River, especially the annalistic of Belz in Solokiya and its surroundings, is rich in archeological sites. In 2016, as part of the Program «Protection and Preservation of the Cultural Heritage of the Lviv Region for 2016–2018», conservation research was conducted at the settlement Belz 22 (Hora). It is a multi-layered settlement with cultural and chronological horizons from the final Paleolithic to modern times. Information and research on it were conducted with advantages during XX century however, for the first time in the settlement; remains of a Slavic dwelling-semi-dugout (object 20) of the Prague culture were discovered and studied. Research has shown that dwelling had two periods of functioning. Traces of restructuring were confirmed, which led to a reduction of the area and changing of the shape – from rectangular to square. Evidence of the reconstruction was the remains of two clay ovens, the oldest of which was partially cut down by a later wall. Under the remains of this wall above the furnace a Roman denarius of the II century was found. Ovens are built on special sites made of compacted clay. The older oven has a dome lined with special rollers. Discovered material is represented mainly by handmade ceramic pots, some of them are reconstructed. Some of the forms of utensils were common during the late V – early VI centuries, and the other part – during the second half of VI – early VII century. This division corresponded to the periods of housing. An important find was the weights for the loom, which were reused to build the oven. An additional evidence of the development of weaving in the settlement is a bi-conical spinner with flat platforms, which comes from dwelling. The settlement on the outskirts of the annalistic Belz is characterized by permanence and genetic connection throughout the Middle Ages – from individual Slavic settlements in this region to the creation of a separate principality around the big city. Key words: Prague culture, Belz, Solokiya, dwelling, oven, ceramics, denarius.
