This paper analyzes the contributions of Federico Albert to the discussion about the benefits and prejudices of the Fishing Regulation No 1.623 that ruled the sealing industry in the seas and coasts of Chile between 1892 and 1904 through two works: “The seals in Chile” and “The pinnipeds of Chile”, published in 1901 in the Chilean Journal of Natural History of the Natural History Museum of Valparaiso and in the Annals of University of Chile, respectively. It is concluded that, as a scientist and civil servant, Albert was essential to look for new alternatives to protect these sea mammals at the beginning of the XX Century.

This article is dedicated to the distinguished Ukrainian scientist Mykola Vasylovych Sharleman (1887–1970), who worked as a research associate at the Zoological Museum of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences from 1921 to 1934 and held managerial positions at this institution in 1934(33)–1937 and 1941–1943. The long-standing scientific contributions of M. V. Sharleman provided the foundation for a collection that covers various regions of Ukraine and offers a valuable resource for analysing changes in the species composition and distribution of birds across Ukraine over the past century. A key milestone in this study was the discovery of the First Inventory Book of the collection from 1919, along with historical journals revised approximately in 1948–1949 that served as the collection’s catalogue. These unique documents proved to be vital in researching the history of acquisitions for the collections of the National Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Between 1907 and 1939, as well as in 1943, M. V. Sharleman donated 538 bird skins to the museum, representing 130 species of 13 orders. The most abundant specimens represented the species Calidris alpina (51 specimens), Phylomachus pugnax (28), Motacilla flava (26), and Dendrocopos major (19). Additionally, rare bird species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine were also present in the collection, such as Asio flammeus (2), Anarhynchus alexandrinus (1), Charadrius hiaticula (8), Columba oenas (1), Dendrocopos leucotos (4), Falco naumanni (2), Glareola nordmanni (2), Haematopus ostralegus (1), Lanius excubitor (2), Limosa limosa (2), Milvus migrans (1), Monticola saxatilis (1), Numenius arquata (2), Recurvirostra avosetta (2), and Sternula albifrons (3). The primary objective of this work is to study and promote the unique ornithological collection of the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), which is the largest in Ukraine, encompassing over 40 000 specimens of 950 bird species. In addition to the scientific collection, which comprises bird skins (36 528 storage units) and egg clutches (2 998 units), there is also an impressive exhibition consisting of 1449 units. With its broad scale and scientific importance, this assemblage serves as a unique resource for biodiversity research. The ornithological collection holds not only scientific and cultural significance but also stands as a testament of dedication to the scientists whose meticulous work ensured its formation.

Chinese Nationalism

Li jingwei() reviewed his 60 years of medical history research. In 1955, he was transferred to the class of the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) by western medicine doctor, and start the research of medical history. He stayed in the medical history departement as a researcher, and formally worship Chen Bangxian() as his tutor. He inherited and developed Chen Bangxian's scholarship; presided over the compilation of major projects such as "the general history of Chinese medicine" and "the dictionary of traditional Chinese medicine" , He contributed to the establishment of China Institute for History of Medicine and Medical Literature, the resumption of Chinese Society of Medical History(one of Chinese Medical Association's specialty societies), reissue of Chinese journal of medical history, the establishment of the Chinese medical history museum, training of medical history literature personnel, the regularization of academic discipline. He also did works for the writing plan of the ancient Chinese surgical civilization《》, and publishing process of the English version of the general history of Chinese medicine《》, and the publishing process of the Picture album of Chinese medical and health《》.

ABSTRACT: Part and counterpart of a trilobite collected from Upper Ordovician strata near Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, provided additional information on the legs of trilobites. These appendages had only been certainly known for less than a decade. The specimen was described by a local paleontologist in the local natural history journal, but part of the text was repeated in a leading American biological journal, and repeated in full in the Geological magazine. This trilobite was subsequently redescribed by C. D. Walcott in Science, following a speech in which he discussed it before the Biological Society of Washington. The specimen is now in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History in Washington.

during graduate school to facilitate successful research projects abroad. Collectively, the authors of this paper work in East Africa, Central and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Prior to graduate school, we worked throughout the world in the Peace Corps, in undergraduate research programs, and with museums and non-govern mental organizations. Although our research interests vary widely and we currently work in different countries and cultures, we have had similar experiences in advancing and maintain ing dissertation projects abroad. We hope to provide prospective/current graduate students with a basic framework for establishing and implementing successful research projects in the developing world. More than half of the biodiversity hotspots identified by Conservation International are located in developing coun tries (CI 2002), yet relatively little research is conducted in these areas. Many developing countries do not have the resources to address pressing ecological questions. Synergies created by visiting graduate students working with host country nationals can provide additional funding, materials, and analytical infrastructure that can be used to contend with prominent environmental concerns. Research in developing countries also narrows a geographical knowledge gap in ecology and conservation. Thus, graduate research in the developing world can be mutually beneficial for both the visiting student and for the host country. Build an academic support network. Before entering a graduate program, seek academic advisors and research programs amenable to students pursuing internationally based projects. Advisors or committee members with direct experience working in developing countries should understand the technical, financial, and cultural issues specific to such an undertaking. They may also have a better appreciation of the political realities and safety considerations of working internationally. Academic departments and research institutions sup porting international study programs may have flexible infrastructure for students conducting fieldwork during the academic year. Also, many universities have estab lished international programs that provide funds for grad uate student research in a foreign country. Universities with active natural history museums are often a valuable resource for help with international permitting. Actions: When applying to graduate school and during your interview with your potential advisor, clearly state and discuss your interest in pursuing international research. When choosing a graduate program, seek information about infrastructure that allows graduate student research abroad and institutional funding possibilities for foreign-based research. If faculty members at your home institution do not have direct experience in your research country, con sider selecting committee members from outside your institution who are familiar with your host country. Seek international counterparts. Strong local support is essential. You will enhance your ability to complete a successful international research project by establishing strong relationships with in-country host institutions, colleagues, and community members. These collabora tive relationships can facilitate productive research, allow access to in-country resources and funding agen cies, and increase safety while abroad. Most visa applica tions and international research funding programs will require you to have proof of support from both host country counterparts and host-country institutions. Actions: Finding international counterparts: ask university colleagues who conduct work in your host country for contact information for prospective collaborators; -read country-specific natural history and ecology journals to find potential counterparts. Maintaining a relationship: develop a collaborative research project with your host-country counterpart(s); -involve local students in your research create research opportunities related to your project for host-country graduate and undergraduate students. Funding, timelines, and permitting. Consider the costs and logistics of work before initiating foreign-based research projects. Typically, international research is expensive. Consult with colleagues who have international research experience to ensure that your budgeting decisions are real istic. Time may also be a factor certain tasks quickly com pleted at home can often take substantially more time 333

the biotic integrity of communities. In all cases, we make the implicit and sometimes brash assumption that we can really measure the number of taxa in a community. Although measuring taxa richness might appear straightforward, accurate measurement has been extraordinarily difficult; and despite years of effort, no universally accepted methods for its measurement have emerged. The essential problem is that we can never completely census a taxonomic assemblage or entire community; we rely instead on estimates that describe some portion of the real taxa richness of an assemblage. The problem of knowing what percent of the taxa present have been collected is exacerbated when investigators fail to explicitly define their universe of interest (i.e., the spatial bounds of the community or communities in question). Comparisons of taxa richness among studies that used different sampling and subsampling methods are especially difficult and should be viewed skeptically. The difficulty of obtaining accurate measurements of richness is due to the collector's curve

This paper discusses the importance of Willy Barth History Museum collection, located in the municipality of Toledo-PR as a source for research on the history of education in western Parana. Being a recent colonization of the region - the 1940s - when compared to the state of Parana rest, contributed to the late emergence of a culture of preservation of the collective memory. The primary and secondary sources for research on the history of education in the region are scarce and are in a bad state of repair. In this context of meager preservation of collective memory, the case of Willy Barth History Museum is an exception. The institution has a public character was created by the Municipal Law No. 834 of August 23, 1976, his collection has more than 15,000 items, divided into images, printed documents and manuscripts - maps, mail, newspapers, performance reports of the colonizing company , personal documents, books, magazines, biographies, among others - and parts / domestic and commercial use objects, oral history - testimonials from people directly involved in the process of occupation of the region, recorded on audio and video, all on colonization and schooling of Parana west. The institution was named Willy Barth in allusion to the director of the Industrial Lumber Settler Parana S / A - company responsible for the process of occupation of the region - and first mayor of Toledo. The Museum is linked to the Municipal Department of Culture and aims to preserve and promote the memory and history of the colonization of Parana west. The institution carries out activities covering the reception, archiving and preservation of the museum collection and dissemination of the history of the region, through permanent, temporary and traveling exhibitions. The provision of service to the public is to research the documents and photographs sector, which resulted in the development of important academic papers published in scientific journals of History of Education area. It can be said that due to the amount and quality of documentary sources available at the Willy Barth History Museum collection, the institution has become a reference for research on colonization and the education of western Parana.

From the 15th to the early 18th century the Baltic Sea was not only a highway for the physical transport of basic goods, it also functioned as the channel for the import and local and regional transfer of foreign cultural artifacts, artisans, artists and a wide range of media for cultural diffusion. Established commercial transportation, especially to the Low Countries and the British Isles, of grain, timber and iron ore from Denmark, Sweden and the eastern Baltic states brought wealth to the social and political elites within the Baltic region. The economic prosperity of the higher social layers among the Baltic States allowed them as customers and patrons to import a wide range of objects of art and artifacts belonging to prestige culture. The contributors to this volume of the Scandinavian Journal of History address the cultural traffic outlined above. The volume's ten articles are revised versions of papers read at the conference Cultural Traffic and Cultural Transformation around the Baltic Sea, 1450–1720, a conference held in the Carlsberg Academy in Copenhagen in early spring 2003. The conference participants reflected upon and discussed questions relating to the nature, scope, origin, direction and impact of the cultural interaction taking place in the late medieval and Early Modern Baltic region with examples drawn especially, but not exclusively, from elite culture. The conference Cultural Traffic and Cultural Transformation around the Baltic Sea, 1450–1720 (Carlsberg Academy, Copenhagen, 21–22 March 2003,) was made possible by substantial grants from the Carlsberg Foundation (Denmark) and the Danish Research Council for the Humanities. Organizers Dr Badeloch Noldus (Instituut Pallas, Leiden University, The Netherlands) and Dr Stephen Turk Christensen (Department for History and Social Theory, Roskilde University Centre (RUC), Denmark) thank the following for their support: Dr David Gaimster (Ministry for Culture, UK), Curator Hugo Johannsen (Danish National Museum), Curator Steffen Heiberg (National Historical Museum Frederiksborg Castle), Dr Juliette Roding (Leiden University), Accounts Department (RUC), Department for History and Social Theory (RUC), the staff at Carlsberg Academy, Conference Assistant Thea Pedersen (RUC) and Dr Ole Meyer (University of Florence). For recent studies dealing with Early Modern cultural relations between mostly the Low Countries and areas within the western Baltic, see articles in J. J. van Baak, L. Honti & A. H. Huussen, eds. The Baltic. Languages and Cultures in Interaction (Proceedings NOMES-Conference, 19–20 May 1994); Tijdschrift voor Scandinavistiek, vol. 16 (1995); J. Roding & L. Heerma van Voss, eds., The North Sea and Culture (1550–1800). Proceedings of the International Conference held in Leiden, 21–22 April 1995 (Hilversum, 1996). An interesting, but uneven, treatment of the eastern Baltic within a wider context of cultural exchange can be found in M. Klinge, Östersjövälden. Et illustrerat historisk utkast (Borgå, 1985). Rather dispersed, and occasionally too categorically formulated, relevant information and contextualization concerning Baltic cultural interaction can be found in the general history of the territories of the western Baltic power states by D. Kirby, Northern Europe in the Early Modern Period. The Baltic World 1492–1772 (London & New York, 1990), especially in the section “Migrants, Aliens and the Problem of Religious Diversity”.
