Linognathoides urocitelli Durden, Robinson, Cook, McLean, Nyamsuren and Greiman 2019
No full textLinognathoides urocitelli Durden, Robinson, Cook, McLean, Nyamsuren and Greiman, 2019 Ex Urocitellus undulatus (Pallas) (long-tailed ground squirrel) (Sciuridae). Collection locations: Arhangai Province, Zurh Mountain; Huvsgul Province, Heegtsar River Valley; Bayan Olgii Province, Huljaa River Valley (Durden et al., 2019). Notes: This louse is only known from Mongolia, but the host has a wider range in central Asia, encompassing parts of the Russian Federation (Siberia, Transbaikalia), Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China (Heilungjiang and Xinjiang) (Thorington and Hoffmann, 2005), so the louse is likely also more widespread.Published as part of Durden, Lance A., Robinson, Chase, Cook, Joseph A., Bell, Kayce C., Nyamsuren, Batsaikhan & Greiman, Stephen E., 2022, Sucking Lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) Parasitizing Mongolian Rodents With The Description Of A New Species Of Hoplopleura From Mountain Voles (Alticola Spp.), pp. 353-365 in Journal of Parasitology 108 (4) on page 360, DOI: 10.1645/22-2, http://zenodo.org/record/775634
Stephen Hales and the practice of science
No full text[Extract] It would be regrettable were this year to end without some commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the death of the Reverend Stephen Hales DD, FRS. Clinicians and virtually all biologists rely on some aspect of his research. While most of us work within a relatively narrow range, Hales made significant contributions to plant and animal physiology on which we still depend, while also contributing to chemistry [1], inventing ventilation systems and winnowing machines [2] and an instrument to remove urinary calculi through the urethra [3], and publishing papers on the causes of earthquakes [4] and the control of fires [5]. The very full scientific life of Stephen Hales has much to tell us about the modern practice of science.
Stephen Hales was born in 1677 in Bekesbourne, Kent, and went up to Cambridge in 1696, where he was elected to a Fellowship at Corpus Christi College in 1702. He was appointed to the parish of Teddington, Middlesex, in 1708 and remained there for much of every year until his death in 1761. He had married in about 1719, but his wife died a year later and he never remarried. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1718 and was awarded its Copley Medal in 1739 for his "experiments towards the discovery of medicines for dissolving the stone, and preservatives for keeping meat at sea". In 1753 he was elected a foreign member of the Académie Royale des Sciences. Hales is buried beneath the tower of his church in Teddington, although a monument in Westminster Abbey was erected in his memory at the instigation of the Princess of Wales to whom he acted as chaplain [6, 7]

Appendix I: A Conversation with Professor Stephen Frosh
No full textBook synopsis: Interpretation is an integral part of all qualitative research, yet relatively little has been written about its process. In her new book, Carla Willig, author of international bestseller Introducing Qualitative Research Methods in Psychology, sheds light on the role of interpretation in qualitative research in psychology and describes the different approaches for practice.
Packed with case studies, two full interview transcripts and worked examples from psychology, health sciences and the arts, Willig skilfully guides you to conduct qualitative research which is interpretative and based upon a clear rationale and interpretative position. You will also learn how to evaluate interpretative research and to acquire an understanding of what constitutes best ethical practice.
Carla's transcribed conversations with Stephen Frosh, Christine Griffin and Jonathan Smith about the meaning and practice of interpretation provide a fascinating insight into the ways in which highly experienced researchers engage with the challenge of interpreting qualitative data.
This book will be valuable reading for all psychology students, researchers and practitioners and a useful reference for students across the social sciences and related health disciplines
