We used our mtCOI hap- lotype database, which includes pub- lished (8) and new domestic, perido- mestic, and sylvatic T. infestans from 65 locations in 13 provinces in Argen- tina (n = 346) and 3 departments in Bo- livia (n = 144), to analyze the mtCOI sequence of the bug found in southern Patagonia and determine if it could be assigned to a known haplotype from Bolivia or Argentina. We investigated phylogenetic relationships with other haplotypes by using neighbor-joining and Bayesian approaches. Our mtCOI database included 53 haplotypes: 42 were found in Argen- tina, 9 in Bolivia, and 2 in both coun- tries (Figure). The bug from southern Patagonia had haplotype x, which has been found in only 3 western or south- ern provinces in Argentina (San Juan, San Luis, and Rio Negro) (8; online Appendix Figure). Results of phylogenetic analyses were congruent (Figure). The neigh- bor-joining tree showed that haplo- type x formed a cluster with haplotype Figure.

A comparison of limnological parameters and zooplankton from two consecutive annual cycles in an Argentine temporary saline lake Santiago A. Echaniz*, Gabriela C. Cabrera, Carolina Rodríguez and Alicia M. Vignatti Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa. Avenida Uruguay 151. 6300, Santa Rosa, provincia de La Pampa. República Argentina Received: 9 November 2012 Accepted: 14 December 2012 Published: 14 January 2013 Abstract: Temporary wetlands alternate dry phases with hydroperiods of varying duration. When their salinity is high it becomes one of the abiotic factors more influencing on wetland ecology. Due to the temporary nature of the ecosystem, the physico-chemical and biological parameters exhibit relatively large variation in short time periods; therefore studies limited to short periods cannot record long-term dynamics. Temporary aquatic ecosystems in other latitudes have been well studied; however those in Argentina have received little attention, despite their high frequency; particularly in the semi-arid central-west belt. Given that in La Pampa province (central region of Argentina) data previously collected from different hydroperiods of several temporary saline lakes are available, the aim of this study was to compare and establish relationships between physico-chemical parameters, and zooplankton taxonomic composition, diversity and biomass, recorded in two consecutive annual cycles in a saline lake in the northern of the province. Seasonal water and zooplankton samples were obtained during 2006 and 2007. Salinity differed, and increased from a mean of 23.98 g.L-1 (2006) to 36.71 g.L-1 (2007).

  • Comparative Study in Lexical Material Relating to Nicknames and Surnames
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN LEXICAL MATERIAL RELATING TO NICKNAMES AND SURNAMES By J. AQUILINA WE read in verse 19 of Chapter IT of Genesis that 'The Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth and all the fowls of the earth brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; For what­ soever Adam called any living creatures the same is its name'. This is the first historical record of man as a name-giver. As a name places a living, or non-living, creature, a thing or an idea, or any intellectual abstraction, within a context of recognizable reality of human experience in a way that it can be distinguished from others existing within the same, or different or kindred, category, we can say that names indi viduat­ ing realities or sUbjective reactions are indicative labels. In a sense the name is the thing or the person itself. Indeed, amongst savages the name is considered as an integral part of the person that bears it. As a rule, therefore, the savage prefers to be known rather by his substituted name than by his real name, the reason being that while one cannot harm him through the substituted name one can reach him and do him harm through his own name, which is his real personal identity. Hence the Maltese saying skond laqmek ghamlek 'A.s you are so is your surname'. Latin nomina omina 'names are omens', and a Kirundi saying [zina niryo muntu 'Le nom c'est l'homme' given by F .M.

The data provided here show that this education modality does not fulfill the expectations promised by the provincial or national governments. As a result indigenous languages and cultures in the province keep fading away under the pressure of the Spanish language, different religious denominations and other non-indigenous influences. We propose here a technology-based education approach to revitalise indigenous languages as a main objective, as it is the most difficult and more powerful from an identity point of view, as we will argue in this paper. Cultural features evolve and change over time, but language is the link that keeps the past and the present together under the same identity.

  • Color Naming in Italian Language
    Color Naming in Italian language Giulia Paggetti1*, Gloria Menegaz1, Galina V. Paramei2 1Department of Computer Science, University of Verona, Ca’ Vignal 2, Strada le Grazie 15, 37134 Verona, Italy 2Department of Psychology, Liverpool Hope University, Hope Park, L16 9JD Liverpool, United Kingdom Abstract The present study investigated Italian basic color terms (BCTs). It is an extension of our previous work that explored Italian basic color categories (BCCs) using a constrained color- naming method, with 11 Italian BCTs allowed, including blu for naming the BLUE area. Since a latter outcome indicated a categorization bias, here monolexemic color-naming method was employed, enabling also use of azzurro, deeply entrenched Italian term that designates light blue. In Experiment 1, colors (N=367), sampling the Munsell Mercator projection, were presented on a CRT; color names and reaction times of vocalization onset were recorded. Naming consistency and consensus were estimated. Consistency was obtained for 12 CTs, including the two blue terms; consensus was found for 11 CTs, excluding rosso ‘red’. For each consensus category, color with the shortest RT was considered focal. In Experiment 2, consensus stimuli (N=72) were presented; on each trial, observers indicated the focal color (“best example”) in an array of colors comprising a consensus category. For each of the 12 Italian CCs, centroid was calculated and focal color (two measures) estimated. Compared to English color terms, two outcomes are specific to Italian color naming: (i) naming of the RED- PURPLE area is highly refined, with consistent use of emergent non-BCTs; (ii) azzurro and blu both perform as BCTs dividing the BLUE area along the lightness dimension.

For example, Mexico is perceived to be highly correlated with the United States while Argentina and Brazil seem less so.

    Bolivia Incidence and Nature of Child Labor An estimated 23.7 percent of children ages 5 to 14 years were counted as working in Bolivia in 2000. Approximately 25.5 percent of all boys 5 to 14 were working compared to 21.8 percent of girls in the same age group.494 Children work in agriculture, including in the production of sugar cane and Brazil nuts.495 Children also engage in activities such as begging, street vending, shining shoes, and assisting transport operators.496 Children work in industry, construction, small business, hotels and restaurants, and small- scale mining.497 Children have been used to traffic drugs.498 Some children are brought or sent by their parents from rural to urban areas to work as domestic servants for higher-income families, often in situations that amount to indentured servitude.499 Child labor is one of many problems associated with poverty. In 1999, the most recent year for which data are available, 14.4 percent of the population in Bolivia were living on less than USD 1 a day.500 The commercial sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, is a problem in Bolivia.501 Trafficking of children internally from rural to urban areas for commercial sexual exploitation occurs.502 Children are also trafficked to work in sugar cane production in Santa Cruz and Tarija.503 There have also been reports of children trafficked to work in small scale mines.504 A 2004 study sponsored by IOM and the OAS found that there were girls from Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia working as prostitutes in urban centers in Bolivia.505 Children are also trafficked from Bolivia to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Japan, Spain, and the United States for the purpose of forced labor and commercial sexual 506 exploitation.
