Abstract: Mycological research in the Northern part of West Siberia has now become sufficient for review and digitisation as over 460 scientific works have been completed mainly since the beginning of the 20th century. The history of research in the region started from isolated studies at the beginning of the 20th century, but regular and systematic research started from the 1970s. Over the following decades, several dozens of researchers have worked in the area, but the reported occurrences were scattered amongst a broad variety of publications, mainly hardly available. The great need in digitisation and accumulation of fungal records reported in published literature in a standardised regional database has now become evident. The «Fungal records database of the Northern West Siberia» (FuNWS) was initiated in 2016 according to contemporary biodiversity data standards (Darwin Core), to be compatible and accessible by the broad research community. The database has been supplemented ever since by the collective effort of specialists working in the area. According to the database summary report, there are 3358 fungal and fungus-like species revealed in the Northern West Siberia at present. The richest in species number classes are Agaricomycetes (60%) and Lecanoromycetes (33%) with a total of 25 classes represented. The FuNWS database was uploaded to Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (Ygra State University Biological Collection publisher) on 11 November 2017 (earlier titled «Fungal Records Database of Yugra, FReDY») to provide open access to the data and its reusability (Filippova et al. 2020). This publication summarises the results of the digitisation of literature-based occurrence records of fungi and fungus-like organisms initiated in the Northern part of West Siberia for the first time in the history of mycological research. The bibliography of regional mycological publications was created to include about 460 published works (Suppl. material 2). In total, about 140 literature sources were digitised and about 22000 occurrence records were integrated into the FuNWS database (Filippova et al. 2020).

Abstract: The paper presents the initiative on literature-based occurrence data mobilisation of fungi and fungi-related organisms (literature-based occurrences, Darwin Core MaterialCitation) to develop the Fungal literature-based occurrence database for the southern West Siberia (FuSWS). The initiative on mobilisation of literature-based occurrence data started in the northern part of West Siberia in 2016. The present project extends the initiative to the southern regions and includes ten administrative territories (Tyumen Region, Sverdlovsk Region, Chelyabinsk Region, Omsk Region, Kurgan Region, Tomsk Region, Novosibirsk Region, Kemerovo Region, Altai Territory and Republic of Altai). The area occupies the central to southern part of the West Siberian Plain and extends for about 1.5 K km from the west to the east from the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains to Yenisey River and from north to south—about 1.3 K km. The total area equals about 1.4 million km 2 . The initiative is actively growing in spatial, collaboration and data accumulation terms. The working group of about 30 mycologists from eight organisations dedicated to the data mobilisation was created as part of the Siberian Mycological Society (informal organisation since 2019). They have compiled the almost complete bibliographic list of mycology-related papers for the southern West Siberia, including over 900 publications for the last two centuries (the earliest dated 1800). All literature sources were digitised and an online library was created to integrate bibliography metadata and digitised papers using Zotero bibliography manager. The analysis of published sources showed that about two-thirds of works contain occurrences of fungi for the scope of mobilisation. At the time of the paper submission, the database had been populated with a total of about 8 K records from 93 sources. The dataset is uploaded to GBIF, where it is available for online search of species occurrences and/or download. The project's page with the introduction, templates, bibliography list, video-presentations and written instructions is available (in Russian) at the web site of the Siberian Mycological Society. The initiative will be continued in the following years to extract the records from all published sources. The paper presents the first project with the aim of literature-based occurrence data mobilisation of fungi and fungi-related organisms in the southern West Siberia. The full bibliography and a digital library of all regional mycological publications created for the first time includes about 900 published works. By the time of paper submission, nearly 8 K occurrence records were extracted from about 90 literature sources and integrated into the FuSWS database published in GBIF.

Abstract: Регулярные микологические исследования на территории Ханты-Мансийского автономного округа-Югры начались во второй половине 20-го века. В настоящее время известно около 100 публикаций, посвященных вопросам изучения микобиоты, экологии, таксономии, лесо- и фитопатологии и охране грибов на территории региона. В публикации проведен обзор всех работ, опубликованных на территории ХМАО по микологической тематике и их систематизация по разным направлениям. Первая часть статьи состоит из введения, упоминания первых разрозненных работ и обзора изучения дереворазрушающих базидиомицетов и фитопатологических исследований. Во второй части будут рассмотрены другие направления, проанализировано состояние коллекций грибов, собранных на территории региона, и обобщены результаты выявления видового разнообразия. Одной из наиболее подробно изученных экологических групп на территории ХМАО являются ксилотрофные базидиомицеты: их видовой состав, географическое распространение, экологические ниши, уязвимость под воздействием нефтегазодобычи и природоохранная значимость. Развиваются также лесо- и фитопатологические направления, проведены исследования патогенов лесообразующих пород, а также фитосанитарные обследования городских насаждений города Сургута и других территорий.

Abstract: The paper presents the first analysis of crowdsourcing data of all observations of fungi (including lichens) and myxomycetes in Northwestern Siberia uploaded to iNaturalist.org to date (24.02.2022). The Introduction presents an analysis of fungal diversity crowdsourcing globally, in Russia, and in the region of interest. Materials and methods describe the protocol of uploading data to iNaturalist.org, the structure of the crowdsourcing community, initiative to revise the accumulated data, procedures of data analysis, and compilation of a dataset of revised crowdsourced data. The Results present the analysis of accumulated data by several parameters: temporal, geographical and taxonomical scope, observation and identification efforts, identifiability of various taxa, species novelty and Red Data Book categories and the protection status of registered observations. The Discussion provides data on usability of crowdsourcing data for biodiversity research and conservation of fungi, including pros and contras. The Electronic Supplements to the paper include an annotated checklist of observations of protected species with information on Red Data Book categories and the protection status, and an annotated checklist of regional records of new taxa. The paper is supplemented with a dataset of about 15 000 revised and annotated records available through Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The tradition of crowdsourcing is rooted in mycological societies around the world, including Russia. In Northwestern Siberia, a regional mycological club was established in 2018, encouraging its members to contribute observations of fungi on iNaturalist.org. A total of about 15 000 observations of fungi and myxomycetes were uploaded so far, by about 200 observers, from three administrative regions (Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous Okrug, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and Tyumen Region). The geographical coverage of crowdsourcing observations remains low. However, the observation activity has increased in the last four years. The goal of this study consisted of a collaborative effort of professional mycologists invited to help with the identification of these observations and analysis of the accumulated data. As a result, all observations were reviewed by at least one expert. About half of all the observations have been identified reliably to the species level and received Research Grade status. Of those, 90 species (195 records) represented records of taxa new to their respective regions; 876 records of 53 species of protected species provide important data for conservation programmes. The other half of the observations consists of records still under-identified for various reasons: poor quality photographs, complex taxa (impossible to identify without microscopic or molecular study), or lack of experts in a particular taxonomic group. The Discussion section summarises the pros and cons of the use of crowdsourcing for the study and conservation of regional fungal diversity, and summarises the dispute on this subject among mycologists. Further research initiatives involving crowdsourcing data must focus on an increase in the quality of observations and strive to introduce the habit of collecting voucher specimens among the community of amateurs. The timely feedback from experts is also important to provide quality and the increase of personal involvement.

Abstract: The article shows the relevance and scientific significance in the use of a combined processing method that combines the cutting process and surface plastic deformation, which provides an increase in the efficiency of processing of the basic flat end surfaces of electrical parts made of copper, the study of the patterns of microrelief formation during mechanical processing and plastic deformation of a copper surface. It was found that the use of a combined tool allows you to combine several transitions, which provides an increase in processing productivity by reducing the machine and auxiliary processing time. Replacing the grinding operation of the existing technological process with diamond burnishing can significantly improve the quality of the processed surface.

Abstract: В предыдущей части работы мы затронули вопросы актуальности развития микологических исследований на территории севера Западной Сибири (конкретно – ХМАО) и необходимость проведения ревизии уже выполненных за 100 лет работ. Был сделан обзор первых разрозненных работ, проведенных в начале 20 века, описание истории изучения дереворазрушающих базидиомицетов и фитопатологических исследований. Во второй части мы продолжаем анализ других направлений и подводим некоторые итоги. Большое внимание на территории ХМАО уделено также изучению наземных макромицетов (в узком смысле – агарикоидных базидиомицетов), однако исследования носят локальный характер. Хорошо изучены две территории – в окр. г. Ханты-Мансийска и Юганский заповедник. Изучается как видовой состав, так и количественная структура сообществ макромицетов лесных и болотных экосистем, а также особенности биологии и экологии отдельных редких видов. Ввиду высокой заболоченности территории округа особое внимание в исследованиях было уделено сообществам грибов верховых болот (макро- и микромицеты, дрожжи, ксилотрофные базидиомицеты, миксомицеты). Выявление видового состава лихенобиоты проходило лишь в отдельных районах ХМАО, однако суммарный список видов достаточно велик. Выявлено видовое разнообразие миксомицетов на территориях некоторых ООПТ. В контексте таксономических исследований всего за период микологической истории ХМАО было описано четыре новых вида и одна комбинация, в работах сообщаются сведения о новых, еще не описанных видах. Охрана грибов в ХМАО началась с выпуска Красной книги региона в 2003 г. (второе издание вышло в 2013 году). За это время вышел ряд публикаций, посвященных микологическим природоохранным мероприятиям. Коллекции грибов являются неотъемлемой частью развития микологических исследований: на территории мы насчитываем около 5 фунгариев. Кроме того, большое число коллекций грибов, собранных в ХМАО, хранятся в исследовательских институтах других регионов. На основе опубликованных работ нами была составлена база данных находок грибов и грибоподобных организмов ХМАО (Fungal Records Database of Yugra). В настоящее время база включает около 14 тыс. записей находок грибов. Ссылка на базу данных размещена на странице сайта Фунгария ЮГУ и база данных доступна для скачивания. Анализ базы данных показал, что для территории ХМАО опубликовано около 2600 видов и подвидовых таксонов грибов и грибоподобных организмов. Из них большая часть приходится на агарикоидные базидиомицеты (30%), лишайники (37%), а также афиллофоровые базидиомицеты (19%).

Abstract: The article discusses the effect of epilamated coatings during mandrelling. The picture of the change in contact stresses in the DEFORM-3D system is presented. It was established that a decrease in the coefficient of friction from 0.9 to 0.6 leads to a decrease in the number of foci and areas of contact stresses, as well as temperature analysis showed that a decrease in the friction forces reduces heat transfer in the cutting zone by about 40 ° C.

Abstract: The abstract presents the initiative to develop the Fungal Literature-based Occurrence Database for Southern West Siberia (FuSWS), which mobilizes occurrences of fungi from published literature (literature-based occurrences, Darwin Core MaterialCitation). The FuSWS database includes 28 fields describing species name, publication source, herbarium number (if exists), date of sampling or observation, locality information, vegetation, substrate, and others. The initiative on digitization of literature-based occurrence data started in the northern part of Western Siberia two years ago (Filippova et al. 2021a). The present project extends the initiative to the south and includes eight administrative regions (Sverdlovsk, Omsk, Kurgan, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Altay, and Gorny Altay). The area occupies the central to southern part of the West Siberian Plain. It extends for about 1.5 thousand km from the west to the east from the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains to Yenisey River, and from north to south—about 1.3 thousand km. The total area equals about 1.2 million km 2 . Currently, the project is actively growing in spatial, collaboration and data accumulation terms. The working group of about 30 mycologists from 16 organizations dedicated to the digitization initiative was created as part of the Siberian Mycological Society (informal organization since 2019). They have created the most complete bibliographic list of mycology-related papers for the Southern West Siberia, including over 800 publications for the last two centuries (the earliest dated 1800). At abstract submission, the database had been populated with a total of about 10K records from about 100 sources. The dataset is uploaded to GBIF, where it is available for online search of species occurrences and/or download (Filippova et al. 2021b) Fig. 1. The project's page with the introduction, templates, bibliography list, video-presentations and written instructions is available at the website of the Siberian Mycological Society (https://sibmyco.org/literaturedatabase). The following protocol describes the digitization workflow in detail: The bibliography of related publications is compiled using Zotero bibliographic manager. Only published works (peer-reviewed papers, conference proceedings, PhD theses, monographs or book chapters) are selected. If possible, the sources are digitized and added to the library as PDF files. The template of the FuSWS database is made with Google Sheets, which allows simultaneous use by several specialists, in a common data format provided. The simple Microsoft Excel template is also available for the offline databasing. The Darwin Core standard is applied to the database field structure to accommodate the relevant information extracted from the publications. From the available bibliography of publications related to the region, only works with species occurrences are selected for the databasing purpose. The main source of occurrences is annotated species lists with exact localities of the records. However, different sorts of other species citations are also extracted, provided that they had the connection to any geography. All occurrences are georeferenced, either from the coordinates provided in the paper, or from the verbatim description of the field work locality. The georeferencing of the verbatim descriptions is made using Yandex or Google map services. Depending on the quality of georeference provided in publications, the uncertainty is estimated as follows: 1) the coordinate of a fruiting structure or a plot provided in the publication gives the uncertainty about 3-30 meters; 2) the coordinate of the field work locality provided in publication gives the uncertainty about 500 m to 5 km; 3) the report of the species presence in a particular region gives the centroid of the area with the uncertainty radius to include its borders. The locality names reported in Russian are translated to English and written in the «locality» field. Russian descriptions are reserved in the field «verbatimLocality» for accuracy. When possible, the «eventDate» is extracted from the annotation data. Whenever this information is absent, the date of the publication is used instead with the remarks in the «verbatimEventDate» field. The ecological features, habitat and substrate preferences are written in the «habitat» field and reserved in Russian. The original scientific names reported in publications are filled in the «originalNameUsage» field. Correction of spelling errors is made using the GBIF Species Matching tool. This tool is also used to create the additional fields of taxonomic hierarchy from species to kingdom, to fill in the «taxonRank» field and to synonymize according to the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. To track the digitization process, a worksheet is maintained. Each bibliographic record has a series of fields to describe the digitization process and its results: the total number of extracted occurrence records, general description of the occurrence quality, presence of the observation date, details of georeferencing and the name of a person responsible for the digitization. The bibliography of related publications is compiled using Zotero bibliographic manager.
