Diferentes trabajos han dado cuenta de sus características durante ese siglo y especialmente en la región de la Puna de Jujuy. Durante la etapa colonial, esta zona fue sede de una de las mayores encomiendas de la gobernación del Tucumán, cuyos encomenderos eran los principales terratenientes puneños. Es por esta razón que Madrazo (1982) enfatizó la existencia de una estrecha vinculación entre la encomienda de servicio personal con el surgimiento del peonaje por deudas y el sistema de arriendos que se desarrolló en el siglo XIX. Sin embargo, poco conocemos acerca de esta relación en áreas cercanas y con trayectorias históricas similares. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar algunas de las características del acceso a la mano de obra en las propiedades (privadas y comunales) de la quebrada de Humahuaca durante el siglo XVIII como forma de reconstruir la relación entre comunidades indígenas, forasteros y propietarios españoles.

ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis remains a major parasitic disease, endemic in large parts of South America. Five neotropical species of Biomphalaria have been found to act as inter- mediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in natural populations, while others have been shown to be susceptible in experimental infections, although not found infected in the field. Among these potential intermediate hosts, Biomphalaria peregrina represents the most widespread species in South America, with confirmed occurrence records from Venezuela to northern Patagonia. In this study, we report the southernmost record for the species at the Pinturas River, in southern Patagonia, which finding implies a southward reassessment of the limit for the known species of this genus. The identities of the individuals from this population were confirmed through morphological examination, and by means of two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S-rRNA. With both markers, phylogenetic analyses were conducted in order to compare the genetic background of individuals from the Pinturas River Submitted 19 December 2016 Accepted 10 May 2017 with previously genetically characterized strains of B.

Each time a goal is scored in their home stadium, La Bombonera, thousands of screaming fans toss the remains of dead friends and relatives onto the field as a sign of loyalty and support. JONATHAN FRANKLIN attends a few matches and visits the Boca Juniors cemetery in Buenos Aires, and attempts to understand the profound dedication of football's most passionate fans Photographs by Morten Anderson 114 AUGUST 2007 ROGUE MAGAZINE ROGUE MAGAZINE AUGUST 2007 115 investigation OFF THE WALL The wild Boca Juniors fans are some of the most passionate in the world. When Boca Juniors, the Argentine football club, scores a goal inside their home stadium, La Bombonera, thousands of fans toss yellow and blue confetti, dozens launch firework rockets, and a few throw plastic bags onto the pitch—inside these bags are human ashes, pulverized bones, and the remains of dead fans. "It is the dying wish of every Boca fan to be left to rest here," says game. Seeing them asleep outside the stadium, you are reminded of Rafael Garcia, a 19-year-old fan, as he points around La Bombonera, religious pilgrims: devout and unstoppable.

  • Replacing Amtrak: Privatization, Regionalization, and Liquidation
    P o l i c y S t u d y N o . 2 3 5 , O c t o b e r 1 9 9 7 RReeppllaacciinngg AAmmttrraakk:: A Blueprint for Sustainable Passenger Rail Service by Joseph Vranich EXECUTIVE SUMMARY mtrak is a failed national experiment. By its own admission, Amtrak is headed for bankruptcy unless Washington provides another multi-billion-dollar bail-out. Another federal rescue is A unjustified considering that federal and state subsidies to Amtrak since its inception in 1971 are nearing $22.5 billion, an amount out of proportion to Amtrak’s usefulness in most of the nation. The federal government does not run a national airline. It doesn’t operate a national bus company. There’s no justification for a national railroad passenger operation. America needs passenger trains in selected areas, but doesn’t need Amtrak’s antiquated route system, poor service, unreasonable operating deficits, and capital investment program with low rates of return. Amtrak’s failures result in part because it is a public monopoly—the very type of organization least able to innovate. This study reveals an Amtrak credibility crisis in the way it reports ridership figures, glosses over dwindling market share, understates subsidies, issues misleading cost-recovery claims, offers doubtful promises regarding high-speed rail, lacks proper authority for the freight business it recently launched, and misrepresents privatization as its applies to Amtrak. It’s time to liquidate Amtrak, privatize and regionalize parts of it, permit alternative operators to transform some long-distance trains into land-cruise trains, and stop service on hopeless routes.
