Diagnosis. In comparison with H. variabilis, in H. caucasica the disc of pronotum has denser punctation and no extensive impunctate areas (Figs. 10, 11); on head impunctate area is restricted to anterior margin of the disc (Fig. 8) and does not extend posteriorly to the center of the disc as in H. variabilis (Fig. 9). Additionally, H. caucasica differs from H. variabilis in having more obtuse subapical tooth of median lobe of aedeagus (Figs. 28 31, 32) and shorter medial process of female tergum 10 (Figs. 33, 34). Description. Length 8.511.5 mm. Body from brownish black to black, legs brown with lighter tarsi and black inner surface of tibia, mouthparts and bases of antennal segments brown to brownish red. Head as long as wide; on disc with dense punctation except impunctate area near anterior margin (Fig. 8); with microsculpture consisting of strongly transverse meshes, medially meshes weakly transverse or isodiametric. Posterior frontal puncture closer to posterior margin of eye than to posterior margin of head. Temples 1.11.2 times longer than eyes (in dorsal view). All antennal articles longer than wide, first article shorter than second and third combined, second twice as long as wide, third 2.8 times, 4 th 6 th 1.9 2.0, 7 th 1.7, 8 th 9 th 1.4, 10 th 1.3, last article 1.8 times as long as wide (Fig. 12). Pronotum 1.1 times as wide as long; on disc with dense scattered punctation without extensive impunctate areas (cf. Figs. 10 and 11); dorsal rows with 3 (in some specimens 2 or 4) punctures; punctures of sublateral rows indistinguishable from scattered punctures; microsculpture consists of isodiametric or slightly transverse meshes. Elytra (measured from humeral angle) 1.4 times as long as pronotum, 1.1 times as long as wide; punctation as on pronotum, distance between punctures equal to their diameter; without visible microsculpture (at 70 x). Wings fully developed. Abdominal terga covered with black semierect microsetae; with very fine microsculpture consisting of transverse waves; punctation finer than on elytra, distance between punctures equals 13 times their diameter. Abdominal tergum 7 with wide white palisade fringe. Posterior margin of male sternum 7 concave. Male sternum 8 with medial emargination (Figs. 14, 16). Female tergum 10 split into two broad lateral lobes (Fig. 33), the lobes poorly sclerotized and devoid of setae. Long, sclerotized and setose medial process attached at basis of tergum where the lobes meet, and extends posteriad beyond margin of the lobes (Fig. 33). Median lobe of aedeagus with single subapical tooth on ventral surface (Figs. 21, 24, 2831). Paramere with 1520 peglike setae (Fig. 25). Internal sac with single basal diverticulum (Fig. 21). Discussion. In most groups of staphylinids the characters of genitalia are more useful for distinguishing close species than external characters. Our examination of available series of H. caucasica demonstrated that in this species the aedeagus is subject to significant variation. The shape of paramere, the arrangement of peglike setae and the distance between the apex of median lobe and the subapical tooth (see Figs. 2831) vary, like in some species of the genus Quedius Stephens, 1829. The only difference in male genitalia between the two species of Heinzia, that we were able to find, is somewhat sharper subapical tooth of median lobe of aedeagus in H. variabilis. On the other hand, the density of punctation of the head and pronotum displays relatively little variation and allows to distinguish between H. caucasica and H. variabilis. The presence of the clear gap in punctation between the beetles from the Caucasus and Turkey implies that these allopatric populations represent different species. Distribution. Heinzia caucasica is known from the Caucasus (Main Caucasian Ridge (Glavnyy Kavkazskiy Ridge) from Krasnodar Territory in the West to Daghestan in the East; altitudes 3001800 m) (Fig. 48). Natural History. Big series of H. caucasica were collected in caves by the second author who used pitfall traps, as described by Barber (1931), but with some modifications. The traps were filled with 1: 1 solution of ethyleneglycol and beer, and baited with old cheese and sausage suspended above the liquid. As a cave dweller, H. caucasica apparently belongs to the group of troglophiles, defined by Racovitza (1907) as inhabitants of caves and different kinds of large and small subterranean caverns, including hollows under big boulders. Unlike troglobiontic species, the troglophiles occasionally occur outside. The four caves where the specimens of H. caucasica were collected are situated in the Sochi area of the Western Caucasus and have plenty of water. Three caves (Sokolova, Dolgaya and Labirintovaya Caves) are remarkable for having subterranean brooks or even a river (Sokolova Cave). Baribana Cave has no brooks but it is still very moist and has many pools as a result of water dripping from the ceiling and trickling down the walls and the floor. It is in the wettest parts of the caves that the specimens of H. caucasica were collected. The air temperature in the four caves is similar and fluctuates annually between 8.0 and 11.5 °C. Despite intensive sampling no specimens of H. caucasica were collected in other visited caves of the Sochi area (Partizanskaya, Muzeynaya, Kolokolnaya and Beloskalskaya Caves). These caves are relatively dry, have no subterranean brooks or strong drippings, and apparently do not provide suitable habitats for hygrophilous H. caucasica. Outside caves the beetles were collected only occasionally (single specimens). It is possible that outside H. caucasica inhabits the caverns between stones in deeper layers of taluslike creek banks, the typical habitat of Beeria (Smetana 1977).Published as part of Gusarov, Vladimir I. & Koval, Alexander G., 2002, A revision of the genus Heinzia Korge, 1971 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Quediina), with description of a new species and its probable larva, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 69 on pages 5-11, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15576

Hvordan tollstudenter opplever og håndterer stress i kontrollsituasjoner
Stress er et bredt tema som har blitt studert i et stort omfang. Uansett så er det heller lite forskning rundt hvordan tollerstudenter opplever og takler stress i arbeidshverdagen, både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Med dette som utgangspunkt undersøkte vi hvordan tollstudenter takler og håndterer stress i kontrollsituasjoner.
Problemstillingen vi ønsker å svare på i løpet av dette studiet er “Hva opplever tollstudenter som stressende i kontrollsituasjoner og hvordan håndterer de dette stresset under praksis?”
I denne oppgaven har vi inkludert sentrale begreper som indre stressorer, ytre stressorer og mestringsmekanismer. Disse begrepene hjelper tollstudentene til å skildre hvordan de håndterer stress i kontrollsituasjoner.
Vi har valgt en kvalitativ tilnærming til gjennomføringen av denne oppgaven. Det ble totalt intervjuet seks tollstudenter ved Universitetet i Stavanger. Et viktig krav for gjennomføringen av intervjuene var at alle respondentene hadde noe erfaring fra en tidligere gjennomført praksisperiode hos Tolletaten. Alle funn ble analysert gjennom en tematisk analyse.
Resultatene fra denne studien tar utgangspunkt i funn fra innsamlet data i intervjuene vi har gjennomført.
Etter gjennomført undersøkelse fremkommer det at opplevelsen av stress for tollstudenter som står i kontrollsituasjoner er naturlig. Enten det er stress knyttet opp mot tidspress, usikkerhet, mangel på kompetanse eller en frykt for å gjøre noe feil. I tillegg var mye av kjernen til stress knyttet opp mot indre og ytre stressorer. Samtidig utviklet studentene ulike praktiske og emosjonelle strategier for å håndtere ulike stresspåkjenninger.
Denne studien ønsker å legge til rette for innsikt i hvordan tollstudenter med deres begrensede erfaring håndterer stress i kontrollsituasjoner. Funn fra denne studien kan være relevant for hvordan Tolletaten og Universitetet i Stavanger legger opp studentpraksis. I tillegg kan forskere innenfor fagfelt som omhandler stress finne relevant informasjon fra denne studien. Fremtidige tollstudenter kan også ta til seg inntrykkene og erfaringene som deles av tidligere tollstudenter.Stress is a broad topic that has been extensively studied. Nevertheless, there is relatively little research on how customs students experience and cope with stress in their everyday work, both nationally and internationally. Based on this, we investigated how customs students manage and handle stress in control situations.
The research question we aim to answer in this study is: “What do customs students perceive as stressful in control situations, and how do they handle this stress during their practical training?”
In this thesis, we include key concepts such as internal stressors, external stressors, and coping mechanisms. These concepts help the customs students articulate how they deal with stress in control situations.
We adopted a qualitative approach for this study. A total of six customs students from the University of Stavanger were interviewed. An important criterion for participation was that all respondents had prior experience from a completed practicum with the Norwegian Customs. All findings were analyzed using thematic analysis.
The results of this study are based on the data collected through the conducted interviews.
The findings indicate that experiencing stress in control situations is natural for customs students. This stress may stem from time pressure, uncertainty, lack of competence, or fear of making mistakes. Furthermore, the core of the stress is often related to both internal and external stressors. At the same time, the students developed various practical and emotional strategies to manage the different stressors.
This study aims to provide insights into how customs students, with their limited experience, handle stress in control situations. The findings may be relevant for how the Norwegian Customs and the University of Stavanger structure student practicums. Additionally, researchers in fields related to stress may find the results useful. Future customs students may also benefit from the experiences and insights shared by previous students
