description: Micronectidae
Micronectidae is represented in Argentina by seven species and subspecies of Tenagobia (Coscarón 2017). Bachmann (1979, 1981), Poi de Neiff (1984, 1993, 2003) and Estévez et al. (2003) previously reported two species and one subspecies from INR; we collected these taxa as well as T. fuscata (Stål, 1859), which represents the first record from Corrientes Province. Tenagobia socialis (White, 1879), reported from Corrientes Province (Bachmann 1981; López Ruf et al. 2003), has not been collected from INR.

description: This paper investigates whether differential exposure to a labor market shock by gender contributed to the rise of far-right populism in Brazil. Using a shift-share approach, we find that gender heterogeneity in shock exposure predicts electoral outcomes. Male-specific labor demand shocks increase support for Jair Bolsonaro in the 2018 presidential election, but female-specific shocks have the reverse effect. These opposing effects are accompanied by an unprecedented gender gap in political preferences, with men becoming relatively more conservative. Our preferred interpretation is that Bolsonaro’s conservative rhetoric – shared by several other right-wing populists – generates appeal among men who experience a relative loss in economic status.

Clean Boating Tip Sheet 4: Petroleum Control
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), New Jersey Clean Marina Program
Year: 1996

description: This is the last of four pamphlets advising on boating and the environment in New Jersey. Petroleum in or on the water is harmful. Floating petroleum is particularly harmful because it reduces light penetration and the exchange of oxygen at the water's surface, potentially affecting thousands of species of microbes, plants and animals such as larval blue crab and striped bass. Petroleum pollution can thus potentially poison the entire aquatic food web. The pamphlet also discusses Fueling Practices, Bilge Maintenance, Disposal of Oil Absorbent Materials, Emissions Control, Preventative Equipment, and Emergency Contact information in case of a spill.

description: This is the third of four pamphlets advising on boating and the environment in New Jersey. Trash is unsightly and poses a danger to humans and to wildlife. Marine debris such as plastic can snare propellers and endanger marine life. Federal law regulates the disposal of garbage at sea according to the distance a vessel is from shore. There are also specific requirements based on the length of your boat. The pamphlet contains the following sections: Complying with the law - follow these tips; Contain or Recycle Trash; Contain Fish Scraps; Fish cleaning may pose a problem if the waste is discarded in a poorly flushed marina basin; Maintenance Waste - Dispose of the following items according to the recommendations listed.

description: This is the second of four pamphlets advising on boating and the environment in New Jersey. Raw or poorly treated sewage is harmful to human health and water quality. Waterborne diseases may infect people who swim in contaminated waters and people may become ill by eating shellfish contaminated with viruses and other microorganisms contained in sewage discharge. Sewage is also harmful to water quality. Because the microorganisms in sewage need oxygen, any effluent discharged to waterways reduces the amount of oxygen available to fish and other forms of aquatic life. Furthermore, the heavy nutrient load in sewage promotes excessive algal growth. The pamphlet contains the following sections: Is Sewage a Problem? What Can You Do? Holding Tanks; Type I and II MSDs; Pumpout Locations; No Discharge Zones; and What Does the Law Say?

description: In this paper, we explore the effects of historical and contemporary ethnolinguistic diversity on socio-economic development in Afghanistan. Using a dataset of Afghan provinces, we find that historical ethnolinguistic borders are strongly associated with income, provision of public goods, and political preferences in Afghanistan. Pashtun areas exhibit higher levels of income and public goods provision as well as political support for the incumbent. There has been a persistent rule of Pashtun leaders in Afghanistan during the last three centuries. Furthermore, we instrument measures of contemporary ethnolinguistic diversity by the diversity of archaeological sites that belong to different ancient and medieval empires. We argue that higher levels of contemporary diversity are likely to induce lower levels of conflict, higher levels of income and trust, and lower levels of individualism.

Tenagobia fuscata: Bergroth, 1899: Ent. Mon. Mag., 2d Series, 282.
Material examined. Laguna Iberá RS: 2 ♀, Lobo Cuá Stream, 28°32’37.14’’S, 57°12’3.89’’W, 2.xii.2012; 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Lobo Cuá Stream, 28°32’52.66’’S, 57°12’38.56’’W, 2.xii.2012.
General distribution. Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay (Moreira et al. 2011b).
Habitat. Tenagobia fuscata has been found in the margins of ditches and lagoons exposed to sunlight and with floating, emergent, and submerged vegetation (Ronderos et al. 1969; Nieser 1977; Bachmann 1979, 1981; Bachmann & Farina 1989). This species has also been collected in artificial channels, streams and rivers that are slow to moderately fast-flowing (Bachmann 1962c, 1979, 1981; Bachmann & Farina 1989; Fernández & López Ruf 2006). It seems to prefer permanent shaded habitats (including small ones) with dense emergent and submerged vegetation and organic debris (Bachmann 1981). This species has also been taken at lights (Dellapé & Carpintero 2012).
At the INR, only a few specimens were collected from the vegetated margins of the Lobo Cuá Stream.
Remarks. The collection of T. fuscata from INR represents the first record from Corrientes Province.

Material examined. Galarza RS: 4 ♂, 1 ♀, Isirí Stream near Luna Lagoon, sample 6, 17.iv.2013.
General distribution. Paraguay (?), Argentina (Bachmann 1979).
Habitat. Little information exists regarding the habitat associations of Tenagobia selecta tarahui. Bachmann (1979) described this subspecies from Corrientes Province (Argentina), based on specimens collected in La Totora Lagoon in association with submerged vegetation (mainly Egeria sp.). It has been found in association with Egeria najas (Poi de Neiff 1979) and Pontederia crassipes (Poi de Neiff & Carignan 1997; Poi de Neiff & Neiff 2006).
Tenagobia selecta tarahui was previously recorded from Iberá in association with Egeria najas (Poi de Neiff 2003). It was collected from the margins of the Iberá Lagoon in shallow waters with emergent and floating vegetation (Estévez et al. 2003). During the present study, only a few specimens were collected from the vegetated margins of the Isirí Stream.
Remarks. This subspecies was collected together with T. incerta.

description: Water and sediment samples were collected from June through October 2007 from seven plots at the Rutgers Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Upper Deerfield, New Jersey, and analyzed for a suite of pesticides (including fungicides) and other physical and chemical parameters (including sediment mineralogy) by the U.S. Geological Survey. Plots were selected for inclusion in this study on the basis of the crops grown and the pesticides used. Forty-one pesticides were detected in 14 water samples; these include 5 fungicides, 13 herbicides, 1 insecticide, and 22 pesticide degradates. The following pesticides and pesticide degradates were detected in 50 percent or more of the groundwater samples: 1-amide-4-hydroxy-chorothalonil, alachlor sulfonic acid, metolachlor oxanilic acid, metolachlor sulfonic acid, metalaxyl, and simazine. Dissolved-pesticide concentrations ranged from below their instrumental limit of detection to 36 micrograms per liter (for metolachlor sulfonic acid, a degradate of the herbicide metolachlor). The total number of pesticides found in groundwater samples ranged from 0 to 29. Fourteen pesticides were detected in sediment samples from continuous cores collected within each of the seven sampled plots; these include 4 fungicides, 2 herbicides, and 7 pesticide degradates. Pesticide concentrations in sediment samples ranged from below their instrumental limit of detection to 34.2 nanograms per gram (for azoxystrobin). The total number of pesticides found in sediment samples ranged from 0 to 8. Quantitative whole-rock and grain-coating mineralogy of sediment samples were determined by x-ray diffraction. Whole-rock analysis indicated that sediments were predominantly composed of quartz. The materials coating the quartz grains were removed to allow quantification of the trace mineral phases present.

Distribution: Most of Turkey (except Thrace and SE region; also on isls of Gökçeada and Bozcaada; see Kryštufek and Vohralík, 2001), Armenia, and Georgia (see Gromov and Erbajeva, 1995; Topachevskii, 1969; Vorontsov et al., 1977 b).
Conservation: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Nannospalax nehringi.
Discussion: Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Corbet (1978 c) listed nehringi as a synonym of S. leucodon, but Topachevskii (1969) treated it as a distinct species (under subgenus Mesospalax, genus Microspalax), a revision followed by Corbet (1984) and other researchers (Kryštufek and Vohralík, 2001; Musser and Carleton, 1993; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987, 1998). Topachevskii (1969) included turcicus in the synonymy, but Savič (1982 b) placed it in S. leucodon. Analyses of morphometric, chromosomal, and genetic character sets intimate that S. nehringi and its synonyms are geographic variants of S. leucodon (Butler et al., 1993; Nevo et al., 1994 a, b, 1995, 2001; Savič and Nevo, 1990; Sözen et al., 1999; Suzuki et al., 1996 a).

In-situ sediment oxygen demand rates in Hammonton Creek, Hammonton, New Jersey, and Crosswicks Creek, near New Egypt, New Jersey, August–October 2009
Creators: name: Wilson, Timothy P.

description: Sediment oxygen demand rates were measured in Hammonton Creek, Hammonton, New Jersey, and Crosswicks Creek, near New Egypt, New Jersey, during August through October 2009. These rates were measured as part of an ongoing water-quality monitoring program being conducted in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Oxygen depletion rates were measured using in-situ test chambers and a non-consumptive optical electrode sensing technique for measuring dissolved oxygen concentrations. Sediment oxygen demand rates were calculated on the basis of these field measured oxygen depletion rates and the temperature of the stream water at each site.Hammonton Creek originates at an impoundment, then flows through pine forest and agricultural fields, and receives discharge from a sewage-treatment plant. The streambed is predominantly sand and fine gravel with isolated pockets of organic-rich detritus. Sediment oxygen demand rates were calculated at four sites on Hammonton Creek and were found to range from -0.3 to -5.1 grams per square meter per day (g/m2/d), adjusted to 20 degrees Celsius. When deployed in pairs, the chambers produced similar values, indicating that the method was working as expected and yielding reproducible results. At one site where the chamber was deployed for more than 12 hours, dissolved oxygen was consumed linearly over the entire test period.Crosswicks Creek originates in a marshy woodland area and then flows through woodlots and pastures. The streambed is predominantly silt and clay with some bedrock exposures. Oxygen depletion rates were measured at three sites within the main channel of the creek, and the calculated sediment oxygen demand rates ranged from -0.33 to -2.5 g/m2/d, adjusted to 20 degrees Celsius. At one of these sites sediment oxygen demand was measured in both a center channel flowing area of a pond in the stream and in a stagnant non-flowing area along the shore of the pond where organic-rich bottom sediments had accumulated and lower dissolved oxygen concentration conditions existed in the water column. Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the center channel test chamber showed a constant slow decrease over the entire test period. Oxygen consumption in the test chamber at the near-shore location began rapidly and then slowed over time as oxygen became depleted in the chamber. Depending on the portion of the near-shore dissolved oxygen depletion curve used, calculated sediment oxygen demand rates ranged from as low as -0.03 g/m2/d to as high as -10 g/m2/d. The wide range of sediment oxygen demand rates indicates that care must be taken when extrapolating sediment oxygen demand rates between stream sites that have different bottom sediment types and different flow regimes.

Description: Thallus saxicolous, dull reddish color, depending upon the thickness of the crust, closely adherent to the substrate. The crust thickness is as much as 300 µm, consisting of densely packed quadrate or sometimes somewhat elongated cells 4–5 µm wide and 6–9 μm long, arranged in vertical rows; conceptacles immersed, sub-spherical to compressed, shallow, 80–100 µm wide, 35–90 µm deep with a prominent but rather irregularly defined ostiole usually slightly below the surface; tetrasporangia subcylindrical to fusiform, 23–30 µm long, 7–11.5 µm wide and divided regularly and zonately by parallel transverse walls. There are no irregularly divided sporangia. There are no paraphyses.
Tetrasporangia from the Cedros collection corresponded to Ardré’s description. Divisions of the tetrasporangia are parallel, and the conceptacles look approximately like Ardré’s figures (Fig. 1B).
Holotype: MEXICO: Punta Norte, Cedros Island, Pacific coast of Baja California (28°22’26” N; 115°13’21” W), 30 October 1951, leg. E. Y. Dawson (AHFH 57949 in UC1853247, Fig. 2E, specimen 10572).
Paratype: MEXICO: 10 miles west of Punta Malarrimo, Bahía Vizcaíno, Pacific coast of Baja California, 17 April, 1951, leg. E.Y. Dawson (Dawson´s slide 1690, AHFH 55561 in UC1883773).
Etymology: The species is named after Françoise Ardré (1931–2010), who recognized this taxon as a new entity.
Crustose specimens were generally dried in the shade without formalin, and there is enough material to explore for DNA extraction.

Uh-Oh: Glottal Stops and Syllable Organization in Sulawesi
Creators: name: Broselow, Ellen
Publisher: name: Holland Institute of Generative Linguistics.
Year: 2001

description: Glottal stops pattern differently than other consonants in a number of languages spoken on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. In the Makassar languages of South Sulawesi, glottal stop alternates with [k]; in the Kaili-Pomona language Uma of Central Sulawesi, stem-final glottal stop is mobile, apparently metathesizing with material suffixed to the stem; and in the Central Sulawesi Saluan language Balantak, glottal stop is invisible with respect to the second person possessive affix, which is normally suffixed to vowel-final stems but infixed to consonant-final stems (other than those ending in glottal stop). I argue that the various anomalies of the glottal stop result from the fact that glottal stops lack oral place specification. This lack of oral place allows consonants to coalesce with neighboring vowels without loss of place information, and makes glottal stops undesirable onsets in languages (like these) which prefer to locate place contrasts in syllable onsets.
On Obstruent Voicing in Breton, German, and Italian
Creators: name: Krämer, Martin
Publisher: name: Lund University Press
Year: 2001

description: In this paper, I investigate seemingly unrelated occurrences of obstruent voicing in derived environments in three different languages: Breton, German, and Italian. This paper aims at giving a unified account of the voicing patterns found in the three languages. I will argue in particular that this voicing effect is closely tied to the alignment of morphological and prosodic categories. The Italian data are used in Kenstowicz (1995) to illustrate his notion of Base-Output Identity. I will argue that an output-output analysis is not compatible with the Italian facts, since there are data which clearly contradict this approach. Instead, the final voicing phenomena in all three languages can be adequately described in a strictly input-output oriented modelof Correspondence Theory.
The Prosodic Morphology of Jamaican Creole Iteratives
Creators: name: Alderete, John
Publisher: name: GLSA, University of Massachusetts
Year: 2001

description: The input of a reduplicative word formation process in Jamaican Creole (JC) is restricted prosodically. In this paper, the prosodic restrictions are analyzed in terms of constraints that are generally operative in the JC prosodic system. The study therefore provides empirical support for the Prosodic Morphology Hypothesis of McCarthy & Prince 1986. Investigation of the constraints operative in JC prosody leads to two further conclusions. First, on the basis of stress facts and various morpho-phonological phenomena, it is argued that the JC foot is a moraic trochee, a member of a restrictive inventory of foot types. Second, the analysis of various restrictions on the reduplicative base requires a loosening of the principles governing the layering of prosodic categories in the Prosodic Hierarchy.
Investigating the use of the clinical interview method in an elementary mathematics methods course

description: Increased focus on the preparation of early childhood educators (AMTE, 2010; NCTM, 2000; USDOE, 2002), underscores the importance of providing prospective teachers with experiences that will help them to become more aware of children’s mathematical thinking.  One type of experience, the focus of this study, involves using the clinical interview method (Piaget, 1952).    The six prospective teachers reported on here were enrolled in a mathematics methods course offered at Rutgers University - Newark, during Fall 2008.  The prospective teachers utilized VITAL (Video Interactions for Teaching and Learning) software, designed by Columbia University’s Center for New Media Teaching and Learning.  VITAL is an online repository of clinical interview videos, along with other videos, of young children engaged in mathematical activities (Sorkin & Preston, 2010).  As part of the course requirements, the prospective teachers provided weekly reflections about children’s mathematical thinking using VITAL.  In addition, they were required to plan, conduct, and reflect on their own clinical interviews with young children.    The following research questions guided this study: (1) in what ways did the prospective teachers’ observations about young children’s mathematical thinking change, if at all? (1a) How did their observations and reflections on children’s errors, as seen in the VITAL videos, change throughout the semester? (1b) How did their observations and reflection, as seen in their own clinical interviews, change throughout the semester?  (2) What, if any, general observations and insights did the prospective teachers have about the use of the clinical interview method?    Results indicate that the prospective teachers were able to describe and provide explanations for children’s mathematical thinking in VITAL and in their own clinical interviews with children.  They noted instances where children made mathematical errors and tried to understand the errors by providing a variety of explanations: confusion with learned algorithms, children’s reluctance to admit their errors, and child’s developmental level, for example.  Moreover, they documented when appropriate follow-up questions allowed children to consider their errors.    Results from this dissertation add to the research base documenting the use of the clinical interview method as a tool for helping prospective teachers reflect on young children’s mathematical thinking.

Type Locality: Ukraine, Ternopolsk region (see Topachevskii, 1969).
Vernacular Names: Podolsk Blind Mole Rat.
Synonyms: Spalax diluvii Nordmann 1858; Spalax podolicus Trouessart 1897; Spalax polonicus Méhely 1909.
Distribution: SE Poland east into Ukraine between Dnestr and Dnepr Rivers and south to margin of Black Sea (see Savič, 1982 c; Topachevskii, 1969; Vorontsov et al., 1977 b).
Conservation: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Included in S. microphthalmus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Corbet (1978 c), but monographed as a distinct species (as S. polonicus) by Topachevskii (1969) and subsequently listed or reviewed as such (Corbet, 1984; Gromov and Erbajeva, 1995; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a; Savič, 1982 c). This species is often referenced as S. polonicus because Topachevskii (1969) characterized zemni as a nomen nudem, but the name is properly available (Ellerman, 1949 b) and is the earliest that can be applied (Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987; Zagorodnyuk, 1992 b). The synonyms are documented by Zagorodnyuk (1992 b). Chromosomal traits (2n = 62, FN = 124) summarized in Nevo et al. (2001, as S. podolicus).

description: A post-extractivist development model for communities in the Amazon that is not based on non-renewable resource extraction demands the study and demonstration, in the field, of alternative economic activities that add value to currently generated residual biomass. Following the principles of bioeconomy, this study presents an experimental analysis of a retort burner and a pilot-scale auger-type pyrolysis reactor used to convert coffee husks generated in a collection and post-harvesting center of a farmer’s cooperative into thermal energy and biochar, respectively. This study shows that coffee husks, whether used as feedstock for combustion or pyrolysis processes, can supply the thermal energy required by the post-harvesting processes. The combustion or pyrolysis of coffee husks avoids its accumulation and decomposition while replacing fossil fuels used in post-harvesting operations, reducing costs and making farmers independent of fossil fuel subsidies. Unlike combustion (11,029.4 mg/Nm3), the CO concentration in the flue gas during the pyrolysis process was 458.3 mg/Nm3, which is below the eco-design standard of 500 mg/Nm3. According to the European Biochar Certificate, carbon content (67.4 wt%) and H/Corg, O/Corg (0.6 and 0.1, respectively) are within the typical values of biochars used for soil amendment and carbon sequestration. Nonetheless, the concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons must be assessed to fully regard this material as biochar. Finally, further studies are required to assess the ability of cooperatives to generate and trade carbon credits linked with the application of biochar in their cropping systems.

General distribution. Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay (Moreira et al. 2011b).
Habitat. Nerthra ranina has been found in streams, rivers, lagoons and the wet margins of stagnant pools connected to streams (Bachmann 1962c; Estévez & Schnack 1979; Schnack & Estévez 1979; Melo & Nieser 2004; Estévez & López Ruf 2006). Specimens were also collected with pitfall traps in grasslands surrounded by a permanent channel in the Delta of the Paraná River in Argentina (Nanni et al. 2011).
At the INR, this species was found moving or resting among the flooded grass, aquatic rooted plants, or on the bottom in the Laguna Iberá (Estévez & López Ruf 2006; Estévez et al. 2010).
