Abstract. A new marine ostracod genus, Oculobairdoppilata, belonging to the family Bairdiidae, is described from Paleocene deposits in Tunisia. Its main characteristic is the occurrence of an eye tubercle in the anterodorsal part of the valves. Internally, small denticles and corresponding sockets are present at the terminal parts of the dorsal edge of the right and left valves, respectively. It is the first bairdiid with an external eye structure to be described, although the existence of such a genus was predicted previously.

We describe a new genus, Ufocandona gen. nov. with its type species Ufocandona hannaleeae gen. et sp. nov., from an artesian well in San Marcos, Texas, USA. The new genus has diagnostic characteristics that distinguish it from other genera in Candonidae, including the asymmetric shape of the valves, the smooth central area on the external surface of the valves, the hexagonal ornamentations around the marginal ends of the carapace, the dense spines on the marginal edges of the right valve and the dorsal prolongation and tubercles seen from inside the ventral edges of the left valve. Additional differences in the soft body parts of the male and female (e.g., claw-like uropod, shape of hemipenis, long Y aesthetascs, two short or reduced exopods on antenna, reduced numbers of setae and segments on other extremities) distinguish the new genus from others in the family. The discovery of this species from a deep artesian well contributes important information to our understanding of groundwater species diversity in a biologically diverse aquifer where the ostracod fauna has been unstudied.

Distinguishing Character

When describing the Scottish species Poteriocrinus scotocarbonarius, doubts were expressed about the propriety of assigning it to Poteriocrinus (Wright, 1937, p. 402, 1939–40, p. 17). Before creating a new genus, however, it was considered desirable to make an examination of one of the chief figured specimens of the genotype species P. crassus Miller and to compare it with P. plicatus Austin. Up to the present it has not been possible to do this, and such an outcome seems unlikely for some time to come. In view of the great amount of work that has been done on this and allied genera in recent years, it is now reasonably certain that our Scottish forms are quite distinct from any English or American species or genera hitherto described. Hence the new genus Rhabdocrinus now proposed. The name Poteriocrinus is now discarded in favour of the original Poteriocrinites (Bassler, 1938, Moore and Laudon, 1943). The genotype species was described by Miller in 1821. The specimen illustrated by him as fig. 1 on the plate opposite p. 69 is intended to portray a complete cup apparently from the right posterior side. It has a few columnals attached. According to this figure the radials have horseshoe-shaped facets. The Austins state that this figure is a restoration, and they give an illustration of the same specimen from the same position (Austin, T. and T., 1843–7, pi. 8, fig. 3c, p. 74). Here also the radial facets are not well shown. There is accordingly still a slight doubt regarding these structures on this specimen. On Miller's plate, however, are several figures of detached radials and on the plate opposite p. 67 is a diagrammatic representation of the complete cup of P. crassus. All these figures show radials with horseshoe-shaped facets and a distinct articulating cross ridge, the facets themselves only occupying part of the upper surface of the radials. This type of structure is taken as typical of the genus Poteriocrinites. In the new genus now proposed the facets are quite different in shape and occupy nearly all the upper surfaces of the radials with no trace whatsoever of a cross ridge. The pattern of the surfaces in fact consists of a series of fine crenulations or striations which cross the facets in a transverse direction, i.e. from front to back. In addition, some facets are characterized by little pustules and prominences which are more commonly observed near the centre and towards the back or interior surface of the facets. These features constitute the chief distinguishing character of the new genus. As to the family to which Rhabdocrinus should be assigned, it clearly does not belong to the Poteriocrinitidae as now defined (Moore and Laudon, 1943, p. 54, fig. 5), and since it is impossible under prevailing conditions to trace any known family to which it can be referred, the matter is left open at present.

Remains of a fossil amphibian have been recovered from an ironstone layer in the Upper Evergreen Formation, dated as late Liassic, of southeast Queensland. Extraction of the skeleton from the very hard matrix has presented a number of problem s which are discussed. The find is an almost complete skull and mandible connected to an articulated postcranial skeleton which is missing only some ribs, the right hind leg and the distal portions of the other limbs and tail. The remains are those of a temnospondyl labyrinthodont described as a new genus and species of the family Chigutisauridae. The new form is notable for its very large size (total length estimated to be in excess of 2.5 m), relatively large marginal dentition, with unique lance-shaped tooth tips, the presence of minute denticles associated with the palate and mandible, a well developed atlas showing a strong link with the axis, neorhachitomous vertebrae that lack ossified pleurocentra and have low, heavily built neural spines, a neck region and a narrow dermal pectoral girdle associated with unreduced limbs. The discovery of this chigutisaur provides the first unequivocal evidence that labyrinthodonts survived beyond the end of the Triassic. T he status of two previously described doubtful Jurassic forms is reviewed. Austropelor Longman, 1941, from the Early Jurassic Marburg Sandstone of southeast Queensland, is confirmed as a fragm ent of temnospondyl lower jaw , probably attributable to the superfamily Brachyopoidea, and there is no longer any reason to consider the earlier suggestion that it is a reworked Triassic fossil. Cyrtura Jaekel, 1904, from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Shale of Germany, is considered not to be a labyrinthodont, but its exact relationships are uncertain. The unsatisfactory nature of the higher taxonomy of the Temnospondyli is noted. The superfamily Brachyopoidea is reviewed and the family Kourerpetontidae is removed from it, membership of the superfamily thereby being restricted to the Brachyopidae (Late Permian to Middle Triassic) and Chigutisauridae (Early Triassic to Early Jurassic). Diagnoses for the superfamily and its two included families are provided. The relationships of the better characterized members of the two families are examined and a phylogeny based on shared derived character states is proposed. The analysis of relationships indicates that Brachyops allos Howie, 1972 shares few of the characters diagnostic of the type of Brachyops (B. laticeps Owen, 1855), and a new genus is proposed. The diversity of Australia’s brachyopoids, including the presence of the most primitive and earliest-known members of each of the included families, suggests that the superfamily originated in Australia.

Siamopsis gen. nov., described here, belongs to a group of genera with the right valve overlapping the left valve in the subfamily Cypridopsinae Kaufmann, 1900 of the family Cyprididae Baird, 1845. The distinguishing characters of the new genus are in the morphology of its valves and soft parts. The postero-dorsal margin of the internal left valve is plate-like protruded. The morphology of this plate varies in different species, e.g., some species bear a tooth-like tubercle on the plate. The posterior margin of the right valve is recurved inwardly at ca mid-height, resulting in the occurrence of a lobe-like expansion that can clearly be seen in the dorsal and caudal views of the carapace. In addition, the other diagnostic soft part features of the new genus are the cylindrical caudal ramus, the presence of two t-setae on the female A2 penultimate segment, the very elongated terminal segment of the Mx1 palp, the morphology of the two large bristles (tooth bristles) of the Mx1 third endite (one smooth, one serrated) and the absence of d-seta on T1. In the present paper, five new species are described under this new genus: Siamopsis renateae gen. et sp. nov., S. suttajiti gen. et sp. nov., S. conspecta gen. et sp. nov., S. khoratensis gen. et sp. nov. and Siamopsis planitia gen. et sp. nov. A key to the species of Siamopsis gen. nov. is also provided.

A New Species

A new species of the family Tritoniidae is described for the tropical South Atlantic Ocean. The animal was found off north-east Brazil.Marionia limceanasp. nov. is up to 31 mm long, with a sturdy white body, of which the notum is covered with two rows of red polygons running from the rhinophores to the tail; notum with tubers; bi-lobed veil with 16 velar papillae; retractable white rhinophores; 11–14 pairs of branchial plumes; the anus is located below the 4th gill on the right side, and the genital opening is under the 3rd gill. Internally,M. limceanasp. nov. is distinguished from other tritoniids by jaws with three or four rows of denticles on the inner lips, a belt of 18 stomach plates; and the radular formula 26 × 26–32.1.1.1.26–32 teeth. The animal was found feeding on octocorals of a species of the new genusStragulum, and is the first reported nudibranch to feed on this genus.

The article on the basis of extrapolation of system laws of management of social and economic development illustrates the system reason of the Cobra effect, that is, a situation where, despite the rather attractive goals that managers formulate, the result of the activities of subordinates is opposite to what was intended. The main problem of management is the development of a system of indicators, in which, working on the indicator, employees would change the state in the right direction. The reason for the Cobra effect is the manifestation of systemic patterns of socio-economic development. The main system regularity is the desire of the system for stability and self-preservation. This state of the system is achieved using the least energy-consuming way. It is shown that any worker, realizing system regularities, aspires to stability and self-preservation. Therefore, the employee is always forced to work for achieving the indicator. The article analyzes the manifestation of these laws at the level of enterprises and state. When managers understand these patterns explicitly or covertly, changes in the economic system are moving in the right direction. It is shown that the existing system of target indicators used as indicators to assess the effectiveness of management does not meet the goals and objectives of socio-economic development. At the meso- and macrolevel, absolute, volumetric indicators, such as gross national product and others, reduce the range of benefits to the population. The article defines the vector of change in the system of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of management at the regional and state levels, based on the fact that the key element is the family. At the same time, the targets should be indicators to assess the availability of benefits for households.

Values are like seeds that sprout, become saplings, grow into trees and spread their branches all around. To be able to think right, to feel the right kind of emotions and to act in the desirable manner are the prime phases of personality development. Building up of values system starts with the individual, moves on to the family and community, reorienting systems, structures and institutions, spreading throughout the land and ultimately embracing the planet as a whole. The culture of inclusivity is particularly relevant and important in the context of our society, nation and making education a right for all children.

A new eastern-palaearctic monotypic genus of the gelechioid moths, Paralypusa gen. nov., is established for the Chinese species Paralypusa chinensis (Lvovsky, 2010), comb. nov. This genus is considered closely related to Lypusa Zeller, 1852 on the base of several synapomorphies. However Paralypusa also shares some features with the genera Pseudatemelia Rebel, 1910 and Amphisbatis Zeller, 1870. Its transitional state confirms the belonging of all the aforementioned genera to one family and synonymy of the Lypusidae Herrich-Schäffer, 1857 and Amphisbatidae Spuler, 1910 (Nieukerken et al., 2011).

The existing legislation determines the education as "an integral and focused process of teaching and upbringing, which represents a socially important value and shall be implemented so as to meet the interests of the individual, the family, the society and the state". However, even in this part, the meaning of the notion ‘socially significant benefit is not specified and allows for a wide range of interpretation [2]. Yet the more inconcrete is the answer to the question – "who and how should determine the interests of the individual, the family and even the state?" The national doctrine of education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals of teaching and upbringing, the ways to attain them by means of the state policy regulating the field of education, the target achievements of the development of the educational system for the period up to 2025, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 4, 2000 #751, was abrogated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2014 #245 [7]. The new doctrine has not been developed so far. The RAE Academician A.B. Khutorsky believes that the absence of the national doctrine of education presents a threat to national security and a violation of the right of citizens to quality education. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem of achieving the harmony of interests of the individual, the family, the society and the government on their own, which, however, judging by the officially published results, is the task that exceeds the abilities of the participants of the educational process.  The particular concern about the results of the patriotic upbringing served as a basis for the legislative initiative of the RF President V. V. Putin, who introduced the project of an amendment to the Law of RF "About Education of the Russian Federation" to the State Duma in 2020, regarding the quality of patriotic upbringing [3]. Patriotism, considered by the President of RF V. V. Putin as the only possible idea to unite the nation is "THE FEELING OF LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND" and the readiness for every sacrifice and heroic deed for the sake of the interests of your Motherland. However, the practicing educators experience shortfalls in efficient methodologies of patriotic upbringing, which should let them bring up citizens, loving their Motherland more than themselves. The article is dedicated to solution to this problem based on the Value-sense paradigm of upbringing educational dynasty of the Kurbatovs [15].
