  • Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago De Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira
    Uneasy Intimacies: Race, Family, and Property in Santiago de Cuba, 1803-1868 by Adriana Chira A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology and History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse E. Hoffnung-Garskof, Co-Chair Professor Rebecca J. Scott, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paulina L. Alberto Professor Emerita Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Jean M. Hébrard, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Professor Martha Jones To Paul ii Acknowledgments One of the great joys and privileges of being a historian is that researching and writing take us through many worlds, past and present, to which we become bound—ethically, intellectually, emotionally. Unfortunately, the acknowledgments section can be just a modest snippet of yearlong experiences and life-long commitments. Archivists and historians in Cuba and Spain offered extremely generous support at a time of severe economic challenges. In Havana, at the National Archive, I was privileged to get to meet and learn from Julio Vargas, Niurbis Ferrer, Jorge Macle, Silvio Facenda, Lindia Vera, and Berta Yaque. In Santiago, my research would not have been possible without the kindness, work, and enthusiasm of Maty Almaguer, Ana Maria Limonta, Yanet Pera Numa, María Antonia Reinoso, and Alfredo Sánchez. The directors of the two Cuban archives, Martha Ferriol, Milagros Villalón, and Zelma Corona, always welcomed me warmly and allowed me to begin my research promptly. My work on Cuba could have never started without my doctoral committee’s support. Rebecca Scott’s tireless commitment to graduate education nourished me every step of the way even when my self-doubts felt crippling.

  • A New Species of Tropidophis from Cuba (Serpentes: Tropidophiidae)
    Copeia, 1992(3), pp. 820-825 A New Species of Tropidophisfrom Cuba (Serpentes: Tropidophiidae) S. BLAIR HEDGES AND ORLANDO H. GARRIDO Tropidophisfuscus is described from native pine forests of eastern Cuba. It is a very dark brown species with a gracile habitus. In some aspects of scalation and coloration, it resembles species in the maculatus group, whereas in habitus it resembles members of the semicinctus group. Therefore, its relationship to other species of Tropidophis is presently unclear. THE genus Tropidophis includes 15 species Baracoa, by road), Guantanamo Province, Cuba, of relatively small, boidlike snakes. Most 76 m, collected by S.

  • Nickel-Accumulating Plants from the Ancient Serpentine Soils of Cuba
    Nezu Phytol.(1996), 133, 217-224 Nickel-accumulating plants from the ancient serpentine soils of Cuba BY R. D. REEVES1, A. J. M. BAKER2, A. BORHIDI3 AND R. BERAZAIN4 Department of Chemistry,Massey University,Palmerston North, New Zealand 2Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, Universityof Sheffield,UK 'Botanical Department,Janus Pannonius University,Pe'cs, Hungary 4Jardz'nBota'nico Nacional, Havana, Cuba (Received 17 July 1995; accepted 15 December 1995) SUMMARY Extraordinary uptake of nickel (Ni), reaching concentrations of 0 1-5 0 00, c. 1000 times greater than those usually found in flowering plants, has been observed previously in c. 190 species that grow on Ni-rich serpentine soils derived from ultramafic rocks in various parts of the world. These so-called hyperaccumulators of Ni include c. 50 species from the rich ultramafic flora of New Caledonia and c. 80 species from the Brassicaceae of Mediterranean Europe and Turkey. A study of a limited part (the families Buxaceae and Euphorbiaceae) of the very large ultramafic flora of Cuba has now identified this as the home of at least 80 hyperaccumulators, the largest number yet found in any one country. The more frequent incidence here of this unusual form of plant behaviour is linked to the very long period (c. 10-30 million years) during which some of the Cuban ultramafic substrata are believed to have been continuously available for colonization; the distribution of Ni hyperaccumulators between older and younger ultramafic soils in Cuba mirrors the overall incidence of endemic species in these areas. Key words: Nickel hyperaccumulators, ultramafic flora, serpentine soils, Buxaceae, Euphorbiaceae.

Yateras y Caimanera se ganaron su es- pacio entre los 32 municipios que en Cuba no lamentaron muertes de niños menores de un año en la etapa, mientras San Anto- nio del Sur, Imías y El Salvador cumplieron el propósito nacional con tasas menores a cuatro. El ginecobstetra señaló al recién conclui- do 2020 como el segundo año con menos de 30 defunciones en la provincia, con 29 muertes causadas por infecciones conna- tales (ya presentes al momento del parto), hipertensión pulmonar severa, infecciones comunitarias, bajo peso al nacer y accidentes. Contrario a la tendencia de los últimos años, en 2020 solo se reportó una muerte materna atribuible a la localidad -aunque ocurrió fuera de nuestras fronteras-, para una tasa de 17,5 por cada 100 mil nacimien- tos, contra la de 40 que mostraba el país al cierre de diciembre.
