La subfamilia Cheirodontínae (Characiformes: Characidae) es un grupo de pequeños peces neotropicales ampliamente distribuida en las principales cuencas desde Costa Rica hasta el norte de la Patagonia. En la actualidad, comprende 15 géneros y SOespecies. Se caracterizan por la presencia de pseudotímpano, ausencia de mancha humeral, dientes muy expandidos y comprimidos distalmente con cúspides alineadas en un mismo plano y presencia de una sola serie de dientes en el premaxilar semejantes en su forma y número de cúspides. Si bien pueden encontrarse representantes en la mayoría de las cuencas de Argentina, no había antecedentes de estudios completos de la subfamilia, por lo que el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la revisión taxonómica actualizada del grupo para la Argentina. Se ampliaron las distribuciones geográficas de las siguientes especies: Heterocheirodon yataí, Serrapinnus calliurus, Serrapinnus kriegí, Serrapinnus microdon, Macropsobrycon uruguayanae y Odontostilbe pequíra. Cheirodon ibicuhiensis es redescripta incluyendo nuevos datos anatómicos en base a material colectado en las cuencas de los rios Paraná y Bajo Uruguay, siendo el primer reporte de la especie con localidades concretas para este país. Se comprobó que las citas de Saccoderma hastata corresponden a Odontostilbe microcephala quedando la primera sin registros para nuestro país. Se confirman 2 tribus, 5 géneros y 10 especies para la Argentina, aportando caracteres diagnósticos y una clave de identificación.

Tesis Doctoral Iulia Mantinian 1 Sistemáticay Distribución de Cheirodontinae en la Argentina ABSTRACT Systematics and Geographic Distribution ofFishes of the Subfamily Cheirodontinae (Teleostei: Characiformes: Characidae) from Argentina The subfamily Cheirodontinae (Characiformes: Characidae) is a group of small Neotropical characids fishes widely distributed in the principal basins. At present, comprises 15 genera and 50 valid species. They are characterized by the presence of a pseudotympanum, lack of humeral spot, a single regular teeth row in the premaxilla, with teeth perfectly aligned, similar in shape and cusp number and larger expanded and compressed distally. Although representatives is in the majority of the basins of Argentina, there were no precedents of complete studies on the subfamily, for which the aim of this study was to realize the taxonomic review updated of the group for the Argentina. The geographical distributions of the following species were extended: Heterocheirodon yatai, Serrapinnus calliurus, Serrapinnus kriegi,Serrapinnus microdon y Macropsobrycon uruguayanae. Cheirodon ibicuhiensis is redescribed including new anatomical data based on material collected in the Lower Paraná and Lower Uruguay River basins and it is the first report of the species with accurate localities for this country. There was verified that the reports of Saccoderma hastata belong to Odontostilbe microcephala, staying the fÍÏ'Stspecies without records for our country. Two tribes, five genera and ten species are confirmed for Argentina, contributing diagnostic characters and an identification key. Keywords: Teleostei - Characiformes - Characidae - Cheirodontinae - Cheirodontini ­ Compsurini - Sistematics —Geographic Distribution - Neotropical Region.

Hunter-Gatherers’ Self-Governance: Untying the Traditional Authority of Chiefs from the Western Toba Civil Association. Abstract The nI tegral Law for Aborigines (426/84) was the first legal instrument in Argentina systematically addressing indigenous peoples’ rights. It was modeled on the Paraguayan Law for Indigenous Communities (901/81). Both granted collective property rights. I discuss Article 9 of Decree 574/85 in Law 426, requiring that former hunter-gatherer bands would form civil associations, like those in the non-profit es ctor. The policymakers later amended the clause on governance inserting the authority of chiefs along that of democratically elected delegates. I describe the Western Toba’s journey to obtaining collective land title by introducing characteristics of traditional leadership, discussing local antecedents leading to the law, comparing it to the Paraguayan law, and analyzing the process through which the Toba complied with legal requirements.

  • Growth Patterns Among Indigenous Qom Children of the Argentine Gran Chaco
    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN BIOLOGY 00:00–00 (2016) Original Research Article Growth Patterns among Indigenous Qom Children of the Argentine Gran Chaco 1 2 MARTA P. ALFONSO-DURRUTY, AND CLAUDIA R. VALEGGIA * 1Department of Anthropology, Sociology & Social-Work, Kansas State University, 008 Waters Hall, Manhattan, Kansas 2Department of Anthropology, Yale University, 10 Sachem St., New Haven, Connecticut OBJECTIVES: This study describes and compares the growth strategies of rural (Western) and peri-urban (Eastern) Qom indigenous children from Argentina. METHODS: Height and weight were cross-sectionally assessed in Western (n 5 263) and Eastern Qom (n 5 512) individuals aged 0-18.9 years. Height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), and BMI-for-age (BMIZ) z-scores were cal- culated with an LMS software. Results were organized into four age categories: infancy, childhood, juvenility, and ado- lescence. Between-group comparisons of HAZ, WAZ, and BMIZ were carried out by age and sex categories and compared with Student’s t or Mann Whitney tests. Nutritional status was classified based on BMIZ following WHO rec- ommendations and was compared with x2 tests. RESULTS: In both groups, height and weight followed the typical human growth curve. Mean HAZ scores in both groups were within two standard deviations from the international reference, and increased from infancy to juvenility. WAZ and BMIZ scores were high during infancy and showed a general declining trend with age. Overall, Western Qom had higher HAZ scores. WAZ and BMIZ score comparisons showed only a handful of statistically significant differences, which, along with the analysis of BMI categories, indicated an association between peri-urban environments and a higher prevalence of overweight and obese individuals (P < 0.01).

Holland Director of PROLADES San Jose, Costa Rica Last revised on April 23, 2002 PROLADES Apartado 1524-2050, San Pedro, Costa Rica Telephone: (506) 283-8300 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.prolades.com ARGENTINA Located on the southeastern part of the South American Continent, the Republic of Argentina is separated from its Western neighbor, Chile, by the Andes Mountains. Large indigenous groups inhabited both the Andean and the Patagonian regions at the time of the Spanish colonization. The influx of Christianity has all but wiped out the indigenous religion of the native peoples of Argentina, but it survives in the more remote areas along the Andes Mountains and along the border with Bolivia and Paraguay. In the last half of the twentieth century, shamans among the Guarani people (Misiones Province) have attained a status as alternative healers, and the sophistication of Guarani religious thought has been recognized by anthropologists. In 1502, Americo Vespucio commande d the first ship of Spanish sailors to arrive at the mouth of the La Plata River. The Spanish first settled Argentina in 1516, and the first Catholic missionaries arrived by 1539. Argentina gained its independence in 1816 after the commercial bourgeois ousted the Spanish Viceroyalty of the River Plate. Most Argentines today are descendants of the European immigrants (mostly from Spain and Italy but also from Russia, Poland, Germany, England, Ireland, France, Portugal, Armenia, Lebanon and Turkey) who arrived between 1870 and 1950.

Concretamen- te, se estudian las actividades de las instituciones de Gobierno en Formosa, provincia de la periferia rezagada del país, diferenciada por su escaso dinamismo económico e históricamente marginalizada en la configuración socioespacial nacional. Se pretende mostrar que pese al giro “posneoliberal” del Estado argentino en el período considerado, las políticas regionales/locales implementadas en este nivel distrital siguen un curso neoliberalizador. Empíricamente, ponemos el foco en la intervención sectorial/ territorial alrededor de algunos eslabones de la cadena algodonera-textil afincada en la provincia entre 2003 y 2015. Concluimos que, amoldada a las ideas de la nueva ortodoxia regionalista, la política pública comarcana se orienta a imponer la disciplina de mercado por vías estatales, manteniendo subor- dinadas las agendas políticas y sociales a la prioridad de mantener la confianza de los inversores y el buen clima de negocios, la competitividad territorial y un mercado de trabajo flexibilizado.

  • Argentina Implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman Or Degrading Treatment Or Punishment
    ARGENTINA IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT General Introduction On 16 and 17 November 2004 the United Nations Committee against Torture met in Geneva to examine Argentina’s fourth periodic report (CAT/C/55/Add.7) on the implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment by the State of Argentina, at its 622nd and 625th meetings. Conclusions and recommendations were subsequently adopted by the Committee (CAT/C/CR/33/1). UN treaty bodies, such as the Committee against Torture (the Committee) hold governments directly accountable for compliance with their obligations under international human rights treaties. Since 1987 Argentina is State party to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Convention), which prohibits the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Amnesty International presented a submission on its concerns relating to torture and ill- treatment for consideration before the Committee. The submission outlined concerns at the continuous reports of torture and ill-treatment of individuals detained by members of the security force, including minors, complaints of cruel inhuman or degrading treatment in prisons and detention centres and the lack of prompt, independent, exhaustive and conclusive investigations into such complaints. Amnesty International’s submission included a Partial List

At present, they num- ber around 40,000 and are scattered over approximately 100,000 km (Alvarsson 1983, Braunstein 1993). Several asterisms may be traced among Wichi groups and some of them can be named based on the existing bibliography. Thanks to earlier anthropological work (Braunstein 1976 and 1993) it can be stated that, despite their global denomination and lan- guage affinities, the Wichi are not a people with identical characteris- a Facultad de Ciencias Astronómicas y Geofísicas, Universidad Nacional de la Plata (Argentina).

For the first time, a compilation of this kind is made. We know that, like other indigenous peoples with whom we have worked, the Wichi have their own asterisms, their own reading of the sky, and that it has not disappeared despite their contact with the surrounding society.

    Neotropical Schendylops species 205 International Journal of Myriapodology 2 (2008) 205-230 Sofi a–Moscow A new species of Schendylops Cook, 1899 from a high plateau of the Córdoba mountains (central Argentina), with notes on other Neotropical members of the genus (Myriapoda: Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha) Luis A. Pereira CONICET and Natural Sciences Faculty and Museum, National University of La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s./n., (1900) La Plata, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Schendylops achalensis sp. n. (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha: Schendylidae) is here described and illustrated from a female (holotype) and a male (paratype) from Pampa de Achala plateau, Córdoba mountains (central Argentina). Th e new species is characterized by having well defi ned pore fi elds on the sterna of the anterior and posterior region of the body, but totally absent on the intermediate ones, this character being shared by only four other Neotropical species of the genus, i.e., Schendylops demangei (Pereira, 1981), Schendylops demartini (Pereira & Minelli, 1996), and Schendylops placcii (Pereira & Minelli, 1996) from Argentina, and Schendylops minutus (Pereira & Minelli, 1993) from Venezuela, with which it is here compared in detail. New diagnoses for these latter species are also given. Key words Schendylops, new species, Central Argentina, Pampa de Achala plateau, Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha, Neotropical Region Introduction Th e centipede genus Schendylops Cook, 1899 is one of the most widespread genera of the geophilomorph family Schendylidae, showing an amphiatlantic pattern of distribu- tion (Pereira 1998; Pereira et al. 1997, 2004). Of the 63 species currently included in the genus, 51 (in addition to the new species described below) occur in the Neotropics, while seven species are known from mainland Africa and fi ve from Madagascar.
