The fossil record of the Bramble-shark Echinorhinus (Echinorhiniformes, Echinorhinidae) in South America
No full textThe present contribution aims is to analyze the fossil record of the genus Echinorhinus in South America, and particularly Argentina. We made a first-hand examination of the species Echinorhinus pozzi from the early Miocene of Patagonia, and recognize it as a valid taxon. The species was originally described in the XIX century, and since then no author described or illustrated the original material based on observations of the actual specimens. The genus Echinorhinus is reported for the first time in late Miocene Paraná beds, based on the occurrence of fossil dermal spines. The species Echinorhinus maremagnum occurring in the latest Cretaceous outcrops from Patagonia in Chile and Argentina is considered valid and clearly distinguishable from E. lapaoi, contradicting recent claims that argue their synonymy.Fil: Bogan, Sergio.

Escape from moral quietism: What might Britain’s chav and Australia’s bogan offer the US’ hillbilly?
No full textAcross the US, Britain and Australia, debate over how these societies might best respond to the formerly working class children of the 1980’s rightwing revolutions have become commonplace. A (predominately white) working class has been reduced to hillbillies, chavs and bogans: individual failures, unwilling to embrace the opportunities that globalizing capitalism holds out. Differences between the three nations are important. The archetypal hillbilly celebrates independence and finds recourse to welfare shameful. Conservative hillbilly authors such as J.D. Vance (Hillbilly Elegy) champion such values by promoting a self-help morality tale. Vance’s fantasia devalues the role played by rightwing political activists, who successfully shifted social policy from a ‘rights-based’ and political to an ‘opportunity-driven’ and moralistic model. As left scholars such as A.R. Hochschild (Strangers in Their Own Land) shows, many poor US whites do indeed abhor ‘politics’ and actively pride themselves on such moralizing. In Britain and Australia by contrast, the archetypal chav and bogan celebrate ‘getting something for nothing’, as working class author Owen Jones (Chavs) and comedian Pauly Fenech (Housos) suggest. For Jones, chav-ism is a rational ‘in your face’ response to the decimation of working class solidarity and with it, political power under rightwing reformism. For Fenech, bogan-ism similarly represents active rejection of suburban Australian affluence by those unable to enjoy it. This paper compares and contrasts the moral quietism of the hillbilly with the active refusal of the chav and the bogan. And, it considers possibilities for undermining moral quietism and repoliticizing politics in the world of the hillbilly by translating Jones’ strategy of promoting media debate over economic redistribution and Fenech’s strategy of celebrating resourcefulness, inclusiveness and anti-consumerism
Escape from moral quietism: What might Britain’s chav and Australia’s bogan offer the US’ hillbilly?
No full textAcross the US, Britain and Australia, debate over the working classes dispossessed by so-called ‘neoliberalism’ have become commonplace. While working class minorities suffer doubly due to racism, the white working class has been reduced to hillbillies, chavs and bogans: individual failures, unwilling to embrace the opportunities that globalizing capitalism holds out. Differences between the three nations are important. The archetypal hillbilly celebrates independence and finds recourse to welfare shameful. Conservative hillbilly authors such as J.D. Vance (Hillbilly Elegy) champion such values by promoting a self-help morality tale. However, Vance’s fantasia devalues the role played by rightwing political activists, who successfully shifted welfare policy from a ‘rights-based’ and political to an opportunity-driven and moralistic model in order to, among other things, reduce the tax burden on ‘deserving’ Americans. Nevertheless, others such as A.R. Hochschild (Strangers in Their Own Land) and Nina Eliasoph before her (Avoiding Politics) show that many poor US whites do indeed abhor ‘politics’ and actively pride themselves on such moralizing. In Britain and Australia by contrast, the archetypal chav and bogan celebrate ‘getting something for nothing’, as working class author Owen Jones (Chavs) and comedian Pauly Fenech (Housos) suggest. For Jones, chavism is a rational ‘in your face’ response to the decimation of working class solidarity and with it, political power under neoliberalism reformism. For Fenech, boganism similarly represents active rejection of suburban Australian affluence by those unable to fully enjoy it. This paper compares and contrasts the moral quietism of the hillbilly with the active refusal of the chav and the bogan. And, it considers possibilities for undermining moral quietism and repoliticizing politics in the world of the hillbilly by translating Jones’ strategy of promoting media debate over economic redistribution and Fenech’s strategy of celebrating resourcefulness, racial inclusiveness and anti-consumerism

First records of Corydoras polystictus (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae: Corydoradinae) from the province of Misiones, northeast Argentina
No full textCorydoras polystictus has been reported for Argentina only from the records published by Lüling in 1980 and 1982 from the río Gualeguay, an affluent of the lower río Paraná in the province of Entre Ríos. This author stated that the distribution of this species in Argentina would be linked to the middle and lower río Paraná basin. In this note, we provide the first Argentinean records from the río Paraná basin in the province of Misiones.Corydoras polystictus ha sido reportado para Argentina solo por los registros publicados por Lüling en 1980 y 1982 para el río Gualeguay, un afluente del río Paraná inferior, en la provincia de Entre Ríos. Este autor mencionó que la distribución de esta especie en Argentina estaría vinculada con la cuenca media e inferior del río Paraná. En este trabajo, proveemos los primeros registros de esta especie para la provincia argentina de Misiones en la cuenca del río Paraná.Fil: Cardoso, Yamila Paula.

Changes Inside the Age – Gender Structure of Population Within the Trascău Mountains Area
No full textThe transformations taken place since 1989 both on a political and on an economical level have influenced the demographical structure of the population of Trasc u Mountains. The economic and social decline has emphasized the depopulation process, disrupted the balance inside the age-gender structure reducing the natural increase rate and thus reducing the life quality and the life expectancy in this region. In the analysed period the demographic ageing of the rural population has reached the highest levels therefore today each forth person from the Trasc u Mountains is elderly ( 60 years old). The age-gender structure is of outmost importance, with remarkable demographical and economic consequences, and its detailed analysis allows the author to estimate the present and future potential of the structure’s progressive tendencies, as well as the differences existing within the territory. The agegender structure of the population is the result of a number of factors that varied in time, and that is strictly conditioned by the natural growth of the population and bears the mark of the events that took place prior to realising this analysis

How scaffolding rate of change problems promotes positive mathematical transferability
No full textThis thesis reports on action research conducted by the author while teaching rate of change problems to first-semester Calculus students at a public university in the United States, with the purpose to ensure transfer of learning, and increase students’ conceptual understanding of rate of change and their performance on solving rate of change problems. The action research cycles (planning, action/implementation, evaluation) involved scaffolding to promote positive mathematical transferability through conceptual understanding. The result is a Lesson Guide consisting of a learning task designed using scaffolding and abiding by principles developed and supported by the research literature on the theory of transfer, an assessment task, and a self-evaluation tool for students. Future action research cycles may be informed by the Lesson Guide developed in this study. Calculus I instructors can use the Lesson Guide in the teaching of rate of change problems. This study contributes to the progressive perspective of the transfer of learning in mathematics education and adds to the growing number of theses conducted with action research methodologyMathematics and StatisticsCollege of Science and Engineerin
Process benchmarking in the fruit and vegetable supply chain
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to present the results of an international process benchmarking and to compile models of best practice business processes. The results of our international process benchmarking study allowed us to develop a framework, comprising three models, for better meeting customers’ needs. The first model presents how to understand and meet customers’ needs generally. The second model comprises those operations, work practices and business processes, which are essential in meeting customers’ needs. The third model (organisation designing model) helps the company to check, whether or not the operations, work practises and business processes of the second model can be found in and applied to the company.process benchmarking, customers’ needs, business processes, organisation designing model, Agribusiness,
