In this paper the present state of knowledge of the family Sicariidae in the Afrotropical region is discussed. The Sicariidaein the Afrotropical region, as it stands at present, consists of two genera, viz. Sicarius Walckenaer, 1847 (subfamilySicariinae) with six species: S. albospinosus Purcell, 1908, S. damarensis Lawrence, 1928, S. dolichocephalus Lawrence,1928, S. hahni (Karsch, 1878), S. spatulatus Pocock, 1900, and S. testaceus Purcell, 1908 and Loxosceles Heineken &Lowe, 1835 (subfamily Loxoscelinae) with 13 species: L. fontainei Millot, 1941, L. foutadjalloni Millot, 1941, L. lacroixiMillot, 1941, L. meruensis Tullgren, 1910, L. neuvillei Simon, 1909, L. pallidecolorata (Strand, 1906), L. parramiNewlands, 1981, L. rufecens (Dufour, 1820), L. smithi Simon, 1897, L. speluncarum Simon, 1893, L. spinulosa Purcell,1904, L. valida Lawrence, 1964 and L. vonwredei Newlands, 1980. Loxosceles parrami Newlands, 1981 is here renamedto L. parramae (Newlands, 1981), as it was named for a Miss Parram. Loxosceles valida Lawrence, 1964 is heretransferred to the genus Drymusa Simon, 1893 (Drymusidae) and three species of Loxosceles is revalidated (L. bergeri Strand, 1906, L. pilosa Purcell, 1908 and L. simillima Lawrence, 1927).

Libellulidae and Coenagrionidae are the most dominant families among dragonflies and damselflies.  The present study deals with the diversity, occurrence and present status of libellulids and coenagrionids within the Regional Institute of Education Campus in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India (RIEC). The major objectives of this study are to prepare a preliminary checklist of libellulids and coenagrionids species in the RIEC and to find out the status and distribution of genera and species in their respective families.  This study is also aimed at systematic planning for developing different strategies for conservation of odonates in the campus.  During this study a total of 24 species have been recorded out of which 20 species belong to the family Libellulidae representing 15 genera and four species belong to the family Coenagrionidae representing four genera.  The findings of this study are based on the survey which was carried out for a period of four months in 2015.

This is the first book to deal exclusively with the Australian members of the Family Ardeidae (herons, egrets and bitterns). It gives a comprehensive, easy-to-read account of their origins, classification and biology, and explains the features that distinguish them from other birds. The book devotes a major chapter to the 14 Australian species, covering their distribution and movements, feeding, breeding, population dynamics and conservation. Some of Australia’s herons have become very scarce in the southern half of the continent and are at risk of national or local extinction. In northern Australia heron habitats and resources are largely pristine and consequently this region accommodates large numbers of certain species. A final chapter on population and conservation provides a useful summary of the present status of the Australian herons, some of whom are thriving and others who are in a very precarious position.

Using GLOBE classification and findings, this paper compares the family characteristics and work cultures of family businesses in Anglo, Germanic, and Nordic cultures. Results indicate differing patterns in terms of the involvement of the family in the family business and other key organizational dimensions. While all three regions share their weak family orientation, the Nordic and Germanic regions share stronger future orientation and uncertainty avoidance. The Anglo and Germanic regions share stronger performance orientation and the Nordic region stands out for its low power distance and low assertiveness. Overall, the characteristics of family businesses in the three regions may be associated with the distinctive regional cultures suggesting support for the presence of culturally implicit theories in the family business characteristics.

Tetraonchus alaskensis Price, 1937 is redescribed with several differences from, and additions to, the original description. A review of the genus Tetraonchus is given from its original description to the present status of the family Tetraonchidae Bychowsky, 1937. The genus Salmonchus Spassky and Roytman, 1948 and the subgenera Tetraonchus and Salmonchus Strelkov, 1963 are rejected on a comprehensive basis. A host–parasite list, and a parasite–host list are presented. Presently there are 17 species belonging to the single genus Tetraonchus in the family Tetraonchidae.

Dendrobium Sw., a member of the family Orchidaceae, includes approximately 1100 species distributed in different parts of the world. In China, the genus is represented by 76 species and two varieties, of which D. loddigesii, D. fimbriatum, D. chrysanthum, D. officinale (=D. candidum) and D. nobile are listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as the source material for Herba Dendrobii (Shihu). Because of increased demand and high price, Herba Dendrobii is often adulterated in the trade by other related species. Many Dendrobium species are over-collected from the wild and are listed under endangered taxa in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Therefore, a reliable authentication method is needed to regulate the trade and help conserve the species from unscrupulous collections. This review describes the present status of using medicinal Dendrobium in China, current approaches to authenticate medicinal Dendrobium plants and Herba Dendrobii, and the efforts under way towards the development of DNA microarrays to facilitate differentiation/identification of genuine material in complex Chinese medicinal formulations.

Future orientation is a design, plan, and view of an individual in the context of his education in the future which aims to direct himself to behave in accordance with the expected future. The future orientation of girls' education is shaped by parents through a preference. Preference is a choice or decision that must be prioritized, prioritized, and prioritized. Parents' preferences in the future orientation of girls' education, do not want their daughters to go to college. The cultural system of society influences the construction of a person's thinking so that it forms a preference within the scope of the family which is the smallest institution in society. Among fishermen's families, the level of education can be said to be lower because the struggle to meet the daily needs of a fisherman is at sea facing big waves, uncertain weather, and income which is determined by the number of fish caught makes a problem that is hampering the fulfillment of educational needs. child. This study aims to describe and explain the forms and factors that influence parental preferences in the future orientation of girls' education among fishing families in Muncar District, Banyuwangi Regency. This research chooses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic research type that aims to understand the indigenous people's point of view regarding the relationship with life, namely studying society and learning from society. Data collection techniques used participant observation, interviews, and document studies. The results of the research data obtained that preferences are divided into several forms, while the influencing factors are the family economy, community culture, and the mindset of parents. These forms and factors are collaborated with the concept of patriarchal culture.
