Externally the species resembles A. boireaui sp. n. (Fig. 3), which is more intense in ground colour and clearly larger wingspan (25–31 mm vs. 15–23 mm). In male genitalia the slender and inwardly bent apex of the costal arm and the tridentate cornutus distinguish A. gangraensis sp. n. (Fig. 21) from its congeners. The female genitalia of A. gangraensis sp. n. (Fig. 35) are characterized by the large globular extension of the ductus bursae, which is unlike that of all congeners. Etymology. The new species derives its name from the type locality, on Mount Gangra. Description (Fig. 4). Wingspan: males 15–23 mm, females 16–21 mm. Labial palpi four times as long as wider diameter of eye, brown with upper and inner sides white. Maxillary palpi subtriangular, brown tipped white with inner side white. Antenna bipectinate in male, scape thickened, off-white, rami as long as flagellomere, brown with silvery brown costa; in female coloured as in male, but slightly serrate. Frons rounded, slightly produced, pale brown sprinkled with white. Ocelli poorly developed. Chaetosemata well developed. Vertex white with thin distal line brown. Patagia and thorax pale brown. Tegulae pale brown with inner side brown. Forewing ground colour brown with subapical area, interveins and subdorsal stripe white; subdorsal stripe dorsally bordered dark brown and ending before termen; postmedial fascia white with brown borders, large and widely concave subapically; subterminal area white with seven elongated subterminal spots; apex rounded; termen oblique; fringes bright white with both short and long scales tipped silvery grey; underside brown with terminal spots visible. Hindwing off-white; fringes white; underside off-white distinctly suffused brown dorsally. Legs brown with inner side white and well-developed tibial spurs. Abdomen ivory yellow with anal tuft more intense. Sclerotisations of male abdominal segment VIII as in Figs 22, 23. Male genitalia (Figs 21, 24). Uncus slightly shorter than gnathos, moderately curved. Gnathos slender, with rounded, slightly upcurved tip. Tegumen subtriangular. Vinculum subrectangular, with thick border and small bifid dorsal projection. Juxta broad, v-shaped. Pseudosaccus suboval. Valva elongated, narrowing towards cucullus; costa strongly sclerotised in first half, with long and slender costal arm apically bent inwards; sacculus simple. Phallus shorter than valva, almost straight, with apex slightly produced dorsally; vesica with single tridentate cornutus. Female genitalia (Figs 35, 37). Papillae anales drop-shaped. Apophyses posteriores longer than apophyses anteriores basally lightly sclerotised, then strongly sclerotised, wavy and with an inner tooth submedially. Abdominal segment VIII narrow and larger ventrally. Sterigma ventrally subtriangular, produced; dorsally with U-shaped reinforcement. Ostium bursae membranous. Ductus bursae wrinkled, longer than corpus bursae, with large globular extension sponge-like and wrinkled. Corpus bursae suboval, slightly wrinkled. Distribution. Known from Liberia and Guinea, at elevations between 648 and 1382 meters a.s.l. Remarks. The adults were attracted to an artificial light in a mixed vegetation habitat. The settling of a giant iron mine wiped out the whole summit of Mount Gangra and thus destroyed the type locality. Its discovery on Mount Nimba (Richard Molard) in Guinea (Fig. B) suggests that fortunately the species is widespread along the whole Nimba Mountains chain.Published as part of Bassi, Graziano, Sáfián, Szabolcs, Léger, Théo, Müller, Günter C., Kravchenko, Vasiliy D. & Poltavsky, Alexander N., 2021, Ancylogastra, a new genus of Afrotropical Crambinae, with descriptions of seven new species (Lepidoptera, Pyraloidea, Crambidae), pp. 42-60 in Zootaxa 5052 (1) on pages 52-53, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5052.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/556601

The characterization of the agricultural lands on the erosion–threatened slopes near Alaquez, Ecuador
No full textThe investigation is focused on the conditional characteristics of the soil on the erosion-threatened sloping lands devoted to agriculture. The studied territory is situated in the Equatorial Andes. The analyzed samples were taken from the key-sites located on the slopes with inclination angle of 10°. The comparative analysis was carried out within the borders of a key-site divided into 4 sectors with different agricultural crops: corn, oats, beans and a permanent grass pasture. It is defined that the agricultural fields used for corn cultivation are the most vulnerable to erosion. The organic matter content in the plow layer is decreasing up to 0,53 %. The process of erosion is the leading degradation factor. Observations have shown that such erosion forms as gullies are being formed. It is recommended to reduce corn cultivation in steeply inclined areas unless erosion control measures are taken

"Delo Kravcenko" glazami N.N. Berberovoj
No full textThe article offers an analysis of Nina Berberova's book "The Kravchenko case", containing the reports of the trial for defamation started by Victor Kravchenko, a former attaché to the Soviet trade mission to the USA, against the newspaper "Les Lettres françaises". In April 1944 Kravchenko decided to put an end to his ties with his own country and to stay in the Western world. In 1946 the English edition of his book I choose Freedom was published. In 1947, when the book was published in France, an article signed by a mysterious "Sim Thomas" appeared in the "Lettres françaises", where Kravchenko, described as a betrayer and a drunkard, was accused not to be the author of the book, which had arguably been written by American Mensheviks paid by the US intelligence. Berberova followed all the hearings of the trial and published her reports in the weekly newspaper "Russkaja Mysl" (La pensée russe). The narration develops along two main lines, constantly intertwining one another, i.e. the coverage given by the scrupulous and precise journalist and Berberova's personal narration of facts, declaring her right to subjectivity. Through the narration of the hearings, each conceived as a tale in itself, the writer conveys the profound meaning that the trial had acquired for her and for the Russian diaspora, which shared her vision of the Stalinist regime, a vision that raised a sentiment of hostility in several French intellectuals, unresponsive for superficiality, ignorance or reluctance to open up a dialogue with those who were questioning the Soviet authority
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Abstract
The objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of the results of single-port and four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomies in patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis. Materials and methods. During 2015 – 2017 years 214 patients underwent surgery for chronic calculous cholecystitis. All patients were divided into 2 groups. The first group consisted of 102 (47.6%) patients, who underwent single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). The second included 112 (52.3%), for whom standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. The results in both groups were compared on the following criteria: 1) patient characteristics: age, sex and body mass index (BMI); 2) the duration of surgical intervention; 3) the total time of the patient hospitalisation; 4) the presence of drainage in the abdominal cavity; 5) anaesthetic assessment of the patient's physical condition prior to surgical intervention (classification of ASA); 6) the level of pain within 6 hours after the operation – visual analogue scale (VAS; from 0 to 10, where 0 – no pain, 10 – maximum pain); 7) the necessity for the administration of opioid analgesics in the postoperative period; 8) the presence of complications arose during surgery (bleeding, injury of the common bile duct, gallbladder perforation, leak of bile into the abdominal cavity); 9) the postoperative quality of life, cosmetic outcome (evaluation was performed using the 4-Likert scale. Results. When choosing access to remove the gallbladder, it is important to evaluate carefully the patient's data before surgery. The age of the patient, the presence of concomitant diseases, BMI, patient tolerance to the expected mode of operation play an important role. The history of proven acute cholecystitis, frequent biliary colics determine the performance of laparoscopic 4-ports cholecystectomy. Umbilical hernia can be used to place a port for interference through one-port access. When planning a single-port operation, one should be aware of the possibility of intra-operational occurrence of technical difficulties that may require the installation of additional trochars. Conclusions. The single-port method is a modern safe operation, one of the alternatives to the traditional four-port cholecystectomy, which causes the best cosmetic result of a low level of postoperative pain. Both technologies should not be opposed, but, on the contrary, it is necessary to combine and connect the advantages of both technologies in order to achieve the optimal result of surgical treatment.
Key words: single-port access, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, cholelithiasis, chronic calculous cholecystitis
