Letter to James S. Calhoun from Spruce M. Baird
No full textLetter to James S. Calhoun, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Territory of New Mexico, Santa Fe, from Spruce M. Baird, Indian Agent, Pena Blanca, New Mexico, regarding a law suit at Jemez Pueblo, in the Prefect Court, between Santa Ana Pueblo and Romuldo Archibeque, involving land, water, acequia. Baird wanted the suit to go up to the Department in Washington, D. C. His concern if the Indians are involved in law suits in court the whole policy of the Government will be defeated. He also noted while the Navajos were visiting Jemez Pueblo several animals were stolen from them by local citizens, as violated the treaty with them and Navajos needed immediate reimbursement, to prevent future thefts, violence. Indian leader Chief Armijo, Amigo? Baird was going to Angostura to settle a boundary line dispute between Santa Ana Pueblo and San Felipe Pueblo. Document in English, 2 pp/fr, missing heading page

Astyanax Baird & Girard
No full text[[Astyanax Baird & Girard]] The genus Astyanax Baird & Girard includes more than 100 nominal species (Garutti & Britski, 2000) distributed from southern United States to the Río Negro in Argentina (Almirón et al., 1997). The genus is diagnosed by the presence of two series of teeth in the premaxilla, the first series with a variable number of teeth and the second series with equal or graduated teeth, usually five in number; crowns of premaxillary and mandibulary teeth usually ridged and denticulated; maxillary with few or no teeth; a complete lateral line; absence of a predorsal spine; and scales present on caudal-fin base. Several of these features are broadly distributed among characid fishes, however, and there are no phylogenetic studies that support monophyly of the genus. Eight species of Astyanax are presently considered to occur in northwestern Argentina: A. fasciatus (Cuvier); A. eigenmanniorum (Cope); A. asuncionensis Géry; A. abramis (Jenyns); A. lineatus (Perugia); A. latens Mirande, Aguilera & Azpelicueta; A. chico Casciotta& Almirón; and A. tumbayaensis Miquelarena & Menni. Of these, only the last three have their type localities within this area. Astyanax fasciatus and A. eigenmanniorum were described from the Río San Francisco basin and Rio Grande do Sul, respectively, both in Brazil (Cuvier, 1819; Cope, 1894), with the latter species subsequently considered to be restricted to the Laguna dos Patos system (Malabarba, 1989). The remaining species were described from the Paraguay and Paraná basins. Several species with anal-fin ray and lateral line scale counts similar to A. eigenmanniorum have been described from Argentina in recent years (e. g. Azpelicueta & García, 2000; Azpelicueta et al., 2002a, 2002b; Almirón et al., 2002; Casciotta & Almirón, 2004; Casciotta et al., 2005; Miquelarena et al., 2005; Miquelarena & Menni, 2005). The purpose of this paper is to describe another species, also similar to A. eigenmanniorum, that is broadly distributed in the upper Río Bermejo basin of northwestern Argentina.Published as part of J.

Moina Baird 1850
No full textGenus Moina Baird, 1850 Members of this genus were represented by one well defined species, Moina macrocopa (Straus), and by a group of three closely related genotypes in the Moina micrura group. According to the keys of Goulden (1968), all three phenotypes can be identified as M. micrura, but most cladocerologists agree that it is group of species. Evidence for this conclusion was given by Petrusek et al. (2004), who found reproductive isolation and deep divergence at 12S rRNA for populations of M. micrura from Europe and Australia, suggesting the presence of two sibling species. In the case of Mexican material, the three subgroups separated by DNA barcodes show consistent morphological and distributional differences (Fig. 1.4). M. micrura 1 is found in the semi-desert regions of the north, close to the Pacific side, while M. micrura 2 seems restricted to the highlands of the Central Plateau at sites more than 2000 m above sea level. The third group, designated as M. micrura 3, was found at a single northern locality, and shows an intermediate morphology to the other two types. It seems likely that none of these phenotypes are actually M. micrura s. str., described originally from Austria (Kurz, 1874).Published as part of Elías-Gutiérrez, Manuel, Jerónimo, Fernando Martínez, Ivanova, Natalia V., Valdez-Moreno, Martha & Hebert, Paul D.

Simulation to Teach Patient Transfers: The Role of Self-Efficacy
No full textTransferring patients is a complex activity that can result in injury to the patient and healthcare professional. There is currently no widespread standard method to teach therapy students patient transfer skills. Simulation is one method to educate students to safely transfer patients, however, research examining the use of simulation to teach and evaluate patient transfer skills is limited. For this study we developed acute care scenarios with embedded critical events to teach transfer skills to occupational therapy students in the context of a medical theatre and with the use of a simulator, SimMan®. Scenarios mimicked common situations encountered when treating a medically complex patient. These situations included management of respiratory equipment, management of external lines, drains and tubes, and management of medical instability during the patient encounter. Performance assessment forms for each scenario provided objective criteria to assess student learning and performance. Using cognitive learning theory, the relationship between active participation and active observation was examined. Knowledge, skill, and safety self-efficacy data were collected. Over time, students with a combination of observation and participation experiences reported no difference in self-efficacy ratings when compared to students with participation experiences only. However, after the second exposure to SimMan®, skills self-efficacy ratings were greater for students who actively participated twice and observed once. Self-efficacy ratings after transfer experiences were not predictive of future performance of transfer tasks. Self-efficacy declined between the classroom and the medical theatre, and increased with repeated exposures to SimMan® scenarios. Ratings for knowledge and skills self-efficacy were closely related to each other over time and across classroom, simulation center and clinical environments. In contrast, safety self-efficacy ratings were more closely associated with environmental changes
