LA EXISTENCIA DE UN GENERO RABO DE GARRAPATA EN LOS MURCIELAGOS EN PUERTO RICO
No full textSince bats are the only living native land mammals of Puerto Rico, the author attempted a survey of their ectoparasites in hopes of finding new, indigenous species of mites, ticks, and fleas. During the course of this work it was discovered that the common fruit eating bat, Artibeus jamaicensis jamaicensis Leach, is parasitized by a tick in the unusual genus Spelaeorhynchus, not previously known to occur in Puerto Rico. No tick has heretofore been reported from bats in Puerto Rico, although previous efforts had been made to find them.El autor descubrió una nueva garrapata del género Spelaeorhynchus como parásito del murciélago Artibeus jamaicensis jamaicensis Leach. Debido a la escasez de especímenes el autor no pudo hacer una determinación de la especie aunque no existe duda en su mente de que la garrapata encontrada sobre el murciélago es distinta a todas las descritas en el género Spelaeorhynchus u otros géneros

Ethics and Laptops: Identifying Social Responsibility Issues in Puerto Rico
No full textThis module is based on a hypothetical case with some very real implications. Students are placed in the perspective of decision-makers charged with implementing a project to give public school students in Puerto Rico laptop computers to facilitate their education. Then they are provided with a socio-technical system methodology to help them identify potential problems embedded in laptop technology. Using these tools, they identify and solve ethical and social problems that are likely to arise when public officials work to implement laptop computer technology into the Puerto Rican public school socio-technical system.
