    Abstract: The tribes Goniaderini Lacordaire, 1859 and Lupropini Lesne, 1926 within the tenebrionid subfamily Lagriinae Latreille, 1825 have previously been shown to be non-monophyletic by molecular phylogenetic analyses. The tribes and constituent genera are here reviewed and redefined morphologically. As part of tribal redefinitions, we establish Prateini New Tribe with type genus Prateus LeConte, 1862. We reestablish the subtribe Phobeliina Ardoin, 1961 Revised Status , which is transferred from Goniaderini and placed as a subtribe of Lagriini Latreille, 1825 where it is comprised of Phobelius Blanchard, 1842, and Rhosaces Champion, 1889 (previously in Lagriini: Statirina Blanchard, 1845). The fossil tribe Archaeolupropini Nabozhenko, Perkovsky, & Nazarenko, 2023 is transferred from Lagriinae to Tetratomidae: Tetratominae Billberg, 1820. Keys to extant tribes and subtribes of Lagriinae and genera of Goniaderini, Lupropini, and Prateini are provided. Generic and species-level changes from this work are as follows: Prateini is comprised of the following 15 genera: Antennoluprops Schawaller, 2007, Ardoiniellus Schawaller, 2013, Bolitrium Gebien, 1914, Enicmosoma Gebien, 1922, Indenicmosoma Ardoin, 1964, Iscanus Fauvel, 1904, Kuschelus Kaszab, 1982, Lorelopsis Champion, 1896, Mesotretis Bates, 1872, Microcalcar Pic, 1925, Micropedinus Lewis, 1894, Paratenetus Spinola, 1845, Prateus , Terametus Motschulsky, 1869, and Tithassa Pascoe, 1860. Lorelus Sharp, 1876 is Returned to Synonymy with Prateus , resulting in the following 49 New Combinations : Prateus angulatus (Doyen & Poinar, 1994), P. angustulus (Champion, 1913), P. armatus (Montrouzier, 1860), P. biroi (Kaszab, 1956), P. blairi (Kaszab, 1955), P. brevicornis (Champion, 1896), P. breviusculus (Champion, 1913), P. caledonicus (Kaszab, 1982), P. carolinensis (Blair, 1940), P. chinensis (Kaszab, 1940), P. clarkei (Kulzer, 1957), P. crassicornis (Broun, 1880), P. crassepunctatus (Kaszab, 1982), P. cribricollis (Kaszab, 1940), P. curvipes (Champion, 1913), P. dybasi (Kulzer, 1957), P. fijianus (Kaszab, 1982), P. fumatus (Lea, 1929), P. glabriventris (Kaszab, 1982), P. greensladei (Kaszab, 1982), P. guadeloupensis (Kaszab, 1940), P. hirtus (Kaszab, 1982), P. ivoirensis (Ardoin, 1969), P. kanak (Kaszab, 1986), P. kaszabi (Watt, 1992), P. laticornis (Watt, 1992), P. latulus (Broun, 1910), P. longicornis (Kaszab, 1982), P. mareensis (Kaszab, 1982), P. marginalis (Broun, 1910), P. niger (Kaszab, 1982), P. norfolkianus (Kaszab, 1982), P. obtusus (Watt, 1992), P. ocularis (Fauvel, 1904), P. opacus (Watt, 1992), P. palauensis (Kulzer, 1957), P. politus (Watt, 1992), P. priscus (Sharp, 1876), P. prosternalis (Kaszab, 1982), P. pubescens (Broun, 1880), P. pubipennis (Lea, 1929), P. punctatus (Watt, 1992), P. quadricollis (Broun, 1886), P. queenslandicus (Kaszab, 1986), P. rugifrons (Champion, 1913), P. solomonis (Kaszab, 1982), P. tarsalis (Broun, 1910), P. unicornis (Kaszab, 1982), and P. watti (Kaszab, 1982).

Lorelopsis Revised Status is revalidated as a genus and eight species formerly in Lorelus are transferred to it resulting in the following six New Combinations : Lorelopsis bicolor (Doyen, 1993), L. glabrata (Doyen, 1993), L. exilis (Champion, 1913), L. foraminosa (Doyen & Poinar, 1994), L. minutulis (Doyen & Poinar, 1994), L. trapezidera (Champion, 1913), and L. wolcotti (Doyen, 1993). Lorelopsis pilosa Champion, 1896 becomes a Restored Combination . In Goniaderini, Aemymone Bates, 1868 Revised Status and Opatresthes Gebien, 1928 Revised Status , which were recently considered as subgenera of Goniadera Perty, 1832, are restored as valid genera based on new character analysis resulting in the following New Combinations : Aemymone hansfranzi (Ferrer & Delatour, 2007), A. simplex (Fairmaire, 1889), A. striatipennis (Pic, 1934) and Restored Combinations : Aemymone cariosa (Bates, 1868), A. crenata Champion, 1893, and A. semirufa Pic, 1917. Gamaxus Bates, 1868 is Returned to Synonymy with Phymatestes Pascoe, 1866, and the type species Gamaxus hauxwelli Bates, 1868 is placed as a New Synonym of Phymatestes brevicornis (Lacordaire, 1859).

Fourteen species described by Pic in Aspisoma Duponchel & Chevrolat, 1841 (not Aspisoma Laporte, 1833) are returned to Tenebrionidae as valid species of Anaedus . These synonymies necessitate the following 51 New Combinations : Anaedus albipes (Gebien, 1921), A. amboinensis (Kaszab, 1964), A. amplicollis (Fairmaire, 1896), A. anaedoides (Gebien, 1921), A. angulicollis (Gebien, 1921), A. angustatus (Pic, 1921), A. australiae (Carter, 1930), A. bartolozzii (Ferrer, 2002), A. beloni Fairmaire, 1888), A. biangulatus (Gebien, 1921), A. borneensis (Pic, 1917), A. carinicollis (Gebien, 1921), A. conradti (Gebien, 1921), A. cribricollis (Schawaller, 2012), A. gabonicus (Pic, 1917), A. himalayicus (Kaszab, 1965), A. inaequalis (Pic, 1917), A. jacobsoni (Gebien, 1927), A. lateralis (Pic, 1917), A. latus (Pic, 1917), A. longeplicatus (Gebien, 1921) , A. maculipennis (Schawaller, 2011), A. major (Pic, 1917), A. nepalicus (Kaszab, 1975), A. nigrita (Gebien, 1927), A. notatus (Pic, 1923), A. pakistanicus (Schawaller, 1996), A. pinguis (Gebien, 1927), A. punctatus (Carter, 1914), A. raffrayi (Pic, 1917), A. rufithorax (Pic, 1917), A. rufus (Pic, 1917), A. serrimargo (Gebien, 1914), A. sumatrensis (Pic, 1917), A. terminatus (Gebien, 1921), A. testaceicornis (Pic, 1921), A. testaceipes (Pic, 1917), A. thailandicus (Schawaller, 2012), A. trautneri (Schawaller, 1994); and 13 restored combinations: Anaedus boliviensis (Pic, 1934), A. claveri (Pic, 1917), A. diversicollis (Pic, 1917), A. elongatus (Pic, 1934), A. guyanensis (Pic, 1917), A. holtzi (Pic, 1934), A. inangulatus (Pic, 1934), A. inhumeralis (Pic, 1917), A. mendesensis (Pic, 1917), A. minutus (Pic, 1917), A. rufimembris (Pic, 1932), A. rufipennis (Pic, 1917), A. subelongatus (Pic, 1932).

    Abstract: Spiders collected during field trips and by spontaneous hand-collecting throughout Georgia between the years 2006 and 2022 were determined to species level and partly characterized by genetic barcoding of the COI gene. Among the resulting 51 species, two are recorded for the first time from the entire Caucasus Ecoregion: Pireneitega armeniaca (Brignoli, 1978) (Agelenidae) and Leviellus caspicus (Simon, 1889) (Araneidae). Five species are reported for the first time from Georgia: Lycosoides coarctata (Dufour, 1831) (Agelenidae), and from the Araneidae: Aculepeira talishia (Zawadsky, 1902), Gibbaranea gibbosa (Walckenaer, 1802), G. omoeda (Thorell, 1870), Leviellus stroemi (Thorell, 1870) and Singa semiatra L. Koch, 1867. Additionally, Lycosoides lehtineni Marusik & Guseinov, 2003 syn. nov. is synonymized with Lycosoides coarctata (Dufour, 1831). Diagnostic drawings and photographs are provided.

    Abstract: Due to the ongoing trend of digitalization, the importance of software for today’s society is continuously increasing. Naturally, there is also a huge interest in improving its quality, which led to a highly active research community dedicated to this aim. Consequently, a plethora of propositions, tools, and methods emerged from the corresponding efforts. One of the approaches that have become highly prominent is the concept of test-driven development (TDD) that increases the quality of created software by restructuring the development process. However, such a big change to the followed procedures is usually also accompanied by major challenges that pose a risk for the achievement of the set targets. In order to find ways to overcome them, or at least to mitigate their impact, it is necessary to identify them and to subsequently raise awareness. Furthermore, since the effect of TDD on productivity and quality is already extensively researched, this work focuses only on issues besides these aspects. For this purpose, a literature review is presented that focuses on the challenges of TDD. In doing so, challenges that can be attributed to the three categories of people, software, and process are identified and potential avenues for future research are discussed.

    Abstract: Strain factors, overcommitment und burnout risk among bank employees in relation to age Objective: Trends in the working world, financial crises and growing competitive pressure are influencing factors leading to an increase in psychological strain among bank employees. The aim of the study was to analyse the correlations between job-related strain factors and perception of the latter as well as the risk of burnout among bank employees, with overcommitment (OC) as a control variable. Method: In this study, 90 employees (mean age 43.2 ± 9.4 years) working in a regional bank completed questionnaires assessing strain factors, individual stress perception, OC and burnout risk. Results: The main job-related strain factors identified among bank employees were ‘increased data maintenance’, ‘increased PC knowledge requirements’, ‘poor communication structures’, ‘hierarchical pressure to perform’ and ‘pressure to fulfil targets’. One fifth of the overall collective showed an effort-reward imbalance. The subjective perception of older bank employees indicated more pressure to perform concurrent with a lower level of appreciation. Approximately one tenth of the subjects had a critical tendency towards OC, with age not really a significant factor here. The burnout risk among both age groups was comparatively small (2%). There was evidence of weak correlations between some stress factors and burnout risk. The correlations had some influence on OC, whereas age did not. Conclusions: A framework of stress-reducing and coping strategies must be established in order to safeguard the long-term mental health of bank employees. The early detection and prevention of burnout risk, the promotion of an effort-reward balance and the setting of achievable goals are only some of the key factors. It is also advisable to optimise collaboration between occupational health physicians, management and bank employees in order to deal with the problem and improve mental health. Keywords: bank-specific strain factors – effort-reward-imbalance – overcommitment – burnout risk

    Abstract: Noise in day-care centres as a risk factor for the health of educators Objective: Noise can cause health problems. Day-care educators tend to perceive noise as “normal” and part of the job. The aim of the study was to find out the extent to which noise in day-care centres or insufficient noise protection measures influence the health of the educators. Methods: A total of 185 educators in day-care centres in Magdeburg and the surrounding area voluntarily participated in the study. The noise level in the group room was measured with the PCE-322A sound level meter (PCE Instruments, Meschede, Germany) and the hearing ability of the educators was measured with the SD 25 mobile audiometer from Siemens (Germany). Questionnaires were used for subjective assessment of exposure to noise. Results: The noise level (LAeq) in the group rooms varied between 65 and 91 dB(A) with respective maximum levels (LAmax) of 74–106.5 dB(A). 165 educators (94.3 %) had no hearing impairment, 8 (4.6 %) had mild and 2 (1.1 %) had moderate hearing loss on both sides. Exposure to noise in the group room correlates slightly with hearing impairment and with burnout symptoms (p 〈 0.001). Conclusion: Noise protection measures must be taken. The hearing of daycare workers should also be tested regularly as part of occupational health screening. Keywords: early childhood education – noise levels – hearing impairment – mental health – burnout

    Abstract: Background: Tokophobia (TP) is linked to negative affect, posttraumatic distress and the request for Caesarean Section. Prior trauma and some corresponding personality features, including typical of borderline personality, contribute to TP. With the conflictual object of this fear being a relational one, TP is amenable to psychodynamic heuristics. We investigate Childhood Trauma (CHT), emotional distress, dissociation and borderline personality organization (BPO) along with TP and the request for Caesarean Section in 153 pregnant women, based on the assumption that CS and TP represent the two sides of the same coin, and that their relationship would be rooted in correlates of trauma such as dissociation or BPO. Method: We used the WIJMA questionnaire, the dissociative experience scale, the childhood trauma screener, the IPO-16, and the BSI-18, as well as Kendall´s tau, linear regression and a mediation analysis. Result: The wish for CS was associated with TP and occurred in 6.3% of the sample. Correlations showed between TP and BPO, emotional distress and CHT. Linear regression revealed the prediction of TP by CHT, and the effect of CHT on the wish for CS was fully mediated by TP. Ambivalence regarding the preferred mode of birth coincided with the greatest emotional distress including TP. Dissociation did not contribute to TP. Discussion: CHT may be a cornerstone of the psychodynamics leading to the preference of CS over natural birth. TP mediates the respective effects on the wish for CS and may reproduce the ambivalence of childhood experiences of interpersonal adversity.

    Abstract: Characteristics of stress reactions during surgical teaching procedures and recording of workrelated stress perception among resident physicians Background: Junior surgeons are exposed to high workloads inside and outside the operating theatre early in their careers. By using different measurement tools, it is possible to gain insight into the physiological and subjective stress levels of surgical residents. Aim and Methods: The aim of this study was to investigate differences in time-based stress parameters in two cardiothoracic surgery residents during surgical teaching procedures (n = 24) for aortocoronary bypasses with and without senior physician supervision by means of heart rate variability (HRV). In addition, subjective stress perception was recorded in relation to work-related behaviour and experience patterns (AVEM). Results: The time-related HRV parameters indicate higher psychological stress during the intraoperative phases without a senior physician (Mean HR: 96.1 vs. 89.4; Mean RR: 628.7 ms vs. 675.0 ms; RMSSD: 16.9 ms vs. 20.6 ms; NN50: 120.0 vs. 189.5). The stress index (14.37 vs. 12.27), PNS (–2.17 vs. –1.81), and SNS (2.90 vs. 2.08) values based on these data confirm this. Based on the results from the AVEM, the residents studied can be classified as risk types for a health-risk behaviour and experience pattern. Conclusions: The results illustrate the high psychological stress of assistant physicians and are further evidence of the high risk of burnout in the medical profession. The presence of senior physicians during operative activities seems to have a positive effect on the stress level of junior physicians. Keywords: residents – workloads – psychological stresses – heart rate variability – stress perception
