Material and methods: It was a prospective study on 143 pregnant women referred to health centers in Ram- hormoz city during March 20 to September 21, 2013. The data collection tool was the Edinburgh questionnaire. The demographic data including age, education, occupation, spouse’s occupation, relative income of the family, satisfaction with child gender, frequency of prenatal care, history of nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy, and abortion were collected. Data were entered into the SPSS software and analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical tests such as sample t-test, one independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and χ2 test. The significance level was considered 0.05. Results: A significant association was found between age of mother, parity, maternal education, satisfaction with gender of newborn, and method of delivery with postpartum depression (p < 0.05). The mean prevalence of postpartum depression was different in mothers with unwanted pregnancy, or newborn’s disease during birth (p < 0.05). -

Dytiscid Water Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) of the Yukon
Dytiscid water beetles of the Yukon FRONTISPIECE. Neoscutopterus horni (Crotch), a large, black species of dytiscid beetle that is common in sphagnum bog pools throughout the Yukon Territory. 491 Dytiscid Water Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) of the Yukon DAVID J. LARSON Department of Biology, Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada A1B 3X9 Abstract. One hundred and thirteen species of Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) are recorded from the Yukon Territory. The Yukon distribution, total geographical range and habitat of each of these species is described and multi-species patterns are summarized in tabular form. Several different range patterns are recognized with most species being Holarctic or transcontinental Nearctic boreal (73%) in lentic habitats. Other major range patterns are Arctic (20 species) and Cordilleran (12 species), while a few species are considered to have Grassland (7), Deciduous forest (2) or Southern (5) distributions. Sixteen species have a Beringian and glaciated western Nearctic distribution, i.e. the only Nearctic Wisconsinan refugial area encompassed by their present range is the Alaskan/Central Yukon refugium; 5 of these species are closely confined to this area while 11 have wide ranges that extend in the arctic and/or boreal zones east to Hudson Bay. Résumé. Les dytiques (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) du Yukon. Cent treize espèces de dytiques (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) sont connues au Yukon. Leur répartition au Yukon, leur répartition globale et leur habitat sont décrits et un tableau résume les regroupements d’espèces. La répartition permet de reconnaître plusieurs éléments: la majorité des espèces sont holarctiques ou transcontinentales-néarctiques-boréales (73%) dans des habitats lénitiques. Vingt espèces sont arctiques, 12 sont cordillériennes, alors qu’un petit nombre sont de la prairie herbeuse (7), ou de la forêt décidue (2), ou sont australes (5). -

Neo-Elamite Geography, Chronology, History, and the Textual and Iconographic Evidence Used in This Book
Chapter 1 Neo-Elamite Geography, Chronology, History, and the Textual and Iconographic Evidence Used in this Book To sketch a background against which the burials can be investigated through- out the rest of this book, the present chapter reviews Neo-Elamite geography and chronology, and introduces the available textual and iconographic sources for the period. A historical outline then illuminates the contemporary socio- political circumstances, which, as will become increasingly clear towards the conclusion of this work, both reflect and are reflected in funerary practices. 1.1 Geography During the first half of the first millennium, the cultural area of Elam is thought to have roughly encompassed today’s provinces of Khuzestan and Fars [Pl. 1]. To commence on the Deh Loran plain in the north-westernmost zone of Elamite habitation in Khuzestan, surveys have brought to light a series of settlements along the border of the alluvial slopes that were established shortly after the outset of the first millennium (Wright and Neely 2010: 114). Neo-Elamite sherds were collected particularly around the mound of Tepe Patak and at ‘Ain Kosh and Garan, although the typical lowland (Susiana) ceramic types were recog- nised only for the later part of the period (ca. seventh-sixth centuries) (Miros- chedji 1981c: 170, 174; Carter and Wright 2010: 15). The regular distribution of these three sites from east to west approximately 16–17 km apart points to a transport route along the northeastern slopes of the plain (Wright 2010: 91).1 Just to the south, the Susiana plain, which is still dotted today with ancient tells, extends out from the alluvial plains of lower Mesopotamia. -

Coleoptera: Adephaga: Dytiscidae, Gyrinidae) Collected Along the Horton and Thelon Rivers in the Arctic Central Barrens of Canada
Predaceous Water Beetles (Coleoptera: Adephaga: Dytiscidae, Gyrinidae) Collected Along the Horton and Thelon Rivers in the Arctic Central Barrens of Canada HELENA V. S HAVERDO1 and DONNA J. GIBERSON2 1Department of Entomology, 213 Animal Science/Entomology Building, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Canada 2Department of Biology, University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island C1A 4P3 Canada Shaverdo, Helena V., and Donna J. Giberson. Predaceous water beetles (Coleoptera: Adephaga: Dytiscidae, Gyrinidae) col- lected along the Horton and Thelon rivers in the Arctic Central Barrens of Canada. Canadian Field-Naturalist 118(3): 425-433. Predaceous water beetles were collected during expeditions along two northern Canadian rivers during 2000 and 2002. Twelve species of Dytiscidae (including 11 named species and one additional genus identified from a larva) and one species of Gyrinidae are recorded from 20 sites along the Horton and Thelon rivers in the Central Barrens area of the Canadian Arctic. These records represent an extension of the distributions of four species to the northeast in the Northwest Territories (NWT), and two species to the northwest in Nunavut (NU). Oreodytes sanmarkii is reported for NWT and for the mainland of NU for the first time. Ilybius erichsoni, Hydroporus geniculatus, and Gyrinus opacus are reported for NU for the first time. Five species were recorded for the first time from the Southern Arctic ecozone, and one from the Taiga Shield ecozone. The majority of specimens were collected in habitats that were consistent with those previously known for each species. Key Words: Insecta, Coleoptera, Adephaga, Dytiscidae, Gyrinidae, predaceous water beetles, faunistics, river, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Arctic Central Barrens. -
World Catalogue of Dytiscidae – Corrections and Additions, 3 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
©Wiener Coleopterologenverein (WCV), download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Koleopterologische Rundschau 76 55–74 Wien, Juli 2006 World Catalogue of Dytiscidae – corrections and additions, 3 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) A.N. NILSSON &H.FERY Abstract A third set of corrections and additions is given to the World Catalogue of Dytiscidae (NILSSON 2001) including the first and second sets of corrections and additions (NILSSON 2003 & 2004). Megadytes lherminieri (GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE, 1829) has priority over M. giganteus (LAPORTE, 1835). The species name Dytiscus silphoides PONZA, 1805 is declared as a nomen oblitum, in order to ensure the continuous usage of its junior synonym Deronectes opatrinus (GERMAR, 1824) as a valid name (nomen protectum). The preoccupied name Hydroporus ruficeps AUBÉ, 1838 is replaced with Hydroporus pseudoniger nom.n. New taxa published before January 1, 2006 are added. The number of recent species of the family Dytiscidae is now 3959. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, world, replacement name, catalogue, corrections, additions. Introduction The World catalogue of Dytiscidae (NILSSON 2001) was recently updated in two sets of corrections and additions (NILSSON 2003, 2004, here referred to as CA1 and CA2), covering works published up to January 1, 2004. This third update includes new taxa and other taxonomic acts published before January 1, 2006. The age of some fossil species have been reconsidered according to EVENHUIS (1994). The transfer of species from Copelatus to genus Papuadytes suggested by BALKE et al. (2004a) follows instructions given by BALKE (in litt.). The number of recent species of Dytiscidae is now 3959.

Tarset and Greystead Biological Records
Tarset and Greystead Biological Records published by the Tarset Archive Group 2015 Foreword Tarset Archive Group is delighted to be able to present this consolidation of biological records held, for easy reference by anyone interested in our part of Northumberland. It is a parallel publication to the Archaeological and Historical Sites Atlas we first published in 2006, and the more recent Gazeteer which both augments the Atlas and catalogues each site in greater detail. Both sets of data are also being mapped onto GIS. We would like to thank everyone who has helped with and supported this project - in particular Neville Geddes, Planning and Environment manager, North England Forestry Commission, for his invaluable advice and generous guidance with the GIS mapping, as well as for giving us information about the archaeological sites in the forested areas for our Atlas revisions; Northumberland National Park and Tarset 2050 CIC for their all-important funding support, and of course Bill Burlton, who after years of sharing his expertise on our wildflower and tree projects and validating our work, agreed to take this commission and pull everything together, obtaining the use of ERIC’s data from which to select the records relevant to Tarset and Greystead. Even as we write we are aware that new records are being collected and sites confirmed, and that it is in the nature of these publications that they are out of date by the time you read them. But there is also value in taking snapshots of what is known at a particular point in time, without which we have no way of measuring change or recognising the hugely rich biodiversity of where we are fortunate enough to live. -
