Ahead of the Game: Middle and Upper Palaeolithic Hunting Behaviors in the Southern Caucasus

Over the past several decades a variety of models have been proposed to explain perceived behavioral and cognitive differences between Neanderthals and modern humans. A key element in many of these models and one often used as a proxy for behavioral “modernity” is the frequency and nature of hunting among Palaeolithic populations. Here new archaeological data from Ortvale Klde, a late Middle–early Upper Palaeolithic rockshelter in the Georgian Republic, are considered, and zooarchaeological methods are applied to the study of faunal acquisition patterns to test whether they changed significantly from the Middle to the Upper Palaeolithic. The analyses demonstrate that Neanderthals and modern humans practiced largely identical hunting tactics and that the two populations were equally and independently capable of acquiring and exploiting critical biogeographical information pertaining to resource availability and animal behavior. Like lithic techno-typological traditions, hunting behaviors are poor proxies for major behavioral differences between Neanderthals and modern humans, a conclusion that has important implications for debates surrounding the Middle–Upper Palaeolithic transition and what features constitute “modern” behavior. The proposition is advanced that developments in the social realm of Upper Palaeolithic societies allowed the replacement of Neanderthals in the Caucasus with little temporal or spatial overlap and that this process was widespread beyond traditional topographic and biogeographical barriers to Neanderthal mobility.

Club drug use and unprotected anal intercourse among HIV-seronegative men who have sex with men seeking HIV/STD testing at a local STD clinic in Houston

Objective. To explore (1) the association between "club drug" use and unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) and (2) the association between binge drug use and UAI among HIV seronegative men who have sex with men (MSM) seeking HIV/STD testing at a local clinic in Houston. ^ Study design. A sub-sample of 297 HIV seronegative MSM from a cross-sectional study of drug and sexual behavior in Houston was conducted in 2006. Patients who were seeking HIV/STD testing at a local MSM-identified STD clinic were recruited for an anonymous computer-assisted interview. Analysis of identified secondary data consisted of self-reported information about demographic characteristics, use of drugs, and sexual behaviors. ^ Results. With new and casual sex partners, there was a strong and statistically significant association between use of "club drugs" and UAI. No association between binge drug use and UAI was evident. Men aware of HIV seropositivity or unaware of the HIV serostatus of their primary partner were less likely to report UAI. ^ Conclusion. These data suggest that in the Houston area, HIV-negative MSM club drug users, particularly multiple drug users, are at higher risk of UAI than comparable MSMs who do not use club drugs. Episode-level data regarding binge use of these and other drugs, and UAI should be collected in future studies to explore their relationship. The 'new partner' category should be added to sex partner types to measure sex and drug use behaviors in future studies.^ Keywords. HIV-negative MSM; club drugs; unprotected anal intercourse; binge drug use. ^

Identidad y señalética Club Mendoza de Regatas

Este proyecto desarrolla la identidad del Club Mendoza de Regatas, club deportivo emblemático de la ciudad de Mendoza. Debido a la gran envergadura edilicia de esta institución, resulta muy dificultoso poder orientarse dentro del mismo, por lo que se planteó un sistema señalético que oriente al público. A través de un trabajo de investigación se renueva su identidad visual, la que ayudará a su posicionamiento e identificación por parte de los socios y pobladores de la ciudad de Mendoza.

Meteorological measurements from the Fourcade and Polar Club Glacier, Warszawa Icefield, King George Island, West Antarctica

The South Shetland Islands are located at the northern tip of the AP which is among the fastest warming regions on Earth. The islands are especially vulnerable to climate change due to their exposure to transient low-pressure systems and their maritime climate. Surface air temperature increases (2.5K in 50 years) are concurrent with retreating glacier fronts, an increase in melt areas, ice surface lowering and rapid break-up and disintegration of ice shelves. We have compiled a unique meteorological data set for the King George Island (KGI)/Isla 25 de Mayo, the largest of the South Shetland Islands. It comprises high-temporal resolution and spatially distributed observations of surface air temperature, wind directions and wind velocities, as well as glacier ice temperatures in profile with a fully equipped automatic weather station on the Warszawa Icefield, from November 2010 and ongoing. In combination with two long-term synoptic datasets (40 and 10 years, respectively) and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, we have looked at changes in the climatological drivers of the glacial melt processes, and the sensitivity of the inland ice cap with regard to winter melting periods and pressure anomalies. The analysis has revealed, a positive trend of 5K over four decades in minimum surface air temperatures for winter months, clearly exceeding the published annual mean statistics, associated to a decrease in mean monthly winter sea level pressure. This concurs with a positive trend in the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) index, which gives a measure for the strength and extension of the Antarctic vortex. We connect this trend with a higher frequency of low-pressure systems hitting the South Shetland Islands during austral winter, bringing warm and moist air masses from lower latitudes. Due to its exposure to the impact of transient synoptic weather systems, the ice cap of KGI is especially vulnerable to changes during winter glacial mass accumulation period. A revision of seasonal changes in adiabatic air temperature lapse rates and their dependency on exposure and elevation has shown a clear decoupling of atmospheric surface layers between coastal areas and the higher-elevation ice cap, showing the higher sensitivity to free atmospheric flow and synoptic changes. Observed surface air temperature lapse rates show a high variability during winter months (standard deviations up to ±1.0K/100 m), and a distinct spatial variability reflecting the impact of synoptic weather patterns. The observed advective conditions bringing warm, moist air with high temperatures and rain, lead to melt conditions on the ice cap, fixating surface air temperatures to the melting point. This paper assesses the impact of large-scale atmospheric circulation variability and climatic changes on the atmospheric surface layer and glacier mass accumulation of the upper ice cap during winter season for the Warszawa Icefield on KGI.

Club Atlético Talleres de Remedios de Escalada : Historia de la crisis del club

La siguiente ponencia está enmarcada dentro del proyecto de investigación 33B104 "La relación entre los poderes públicos y los clubes de fútbol: el caso Talleres de Remedios de Escalada 1990-2012", llevado a cabo en la Universidad Nacional de Lanús. El presente trabajo abordará la crisis institucional del Club Atlético Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, un proceso que, aún de origen impreciso, puede rastrearse a comienzos de la década del 90, en el contexto de crisis socioeconómica en el marco de las denominadas políticas neoliberales. Crisis de alcance nacional que, entre varios efectos que desencadenó, produjo desequilibrios institucionales en numerosos clubes de fútbol de la Argentina. Pretendemos describir la historia de la crisis de la institución que la llevó a la quiebra en 1999, y a la vez, analizar el proceso de recuperación de la misma en el año 2008. La particularidad del caso que nos compete, radica en las características de los actores intervinientes, en las luchas de intereses, y en las circunstancias políticas, sociales y económicas que llevaron al mismo a lidiar con semejante realidad. En la crisis y resurrección de Talleres hemos podido, por lo menos por ahora, encontrar algunos lineamientos para poder comprender íntegramente las consecuencias que produjo el neoliberalismo sobre la realidad de clubes de fútbol de la Argentina

La proyección hacia nuevos mercados : Reflexiones sobre la conquista europea y asiática por el club de la ribera

Desde mediados del siglo XX vienen desarrollándose alianzas entre el deporte y el mercado, en Europa, para luego expandirse al resto del mundo. Si bien podemos reconocer que las relaciones mercantiles estuvieron siempre presentes en el mundo deportivo, fue a partir de este momento en que se fueron introduciendo estrategias y mecanismos propios del funcionamiento de las empresas comerciales con el objetivo de modernizar las instituciones deportivas, fortaleciendo su imagen en el plano internacional. Bajo este panorama, esta ponencia estudia la proyección mundial que ha tenido históricamente el Club Atlético Boca Juniors -una asociación deportiva centenaria pionera en la implementación del Sport Management en Argentina y reconocido exponente dentro del fútbol latinoamericano por los logros deportivos obtenidos-, para analizar la visibilización que logró en torno a la gira europea de principios del siglo XX y la posterior participación en la Copa Intercontinental del año 2000 disputada en el continente asiático. Así también, este trabajo compara las representaciones y repercusiones sociales sobre ambas situaciones deportivas, de visibilidad y proyección internacional; y aborda las estrategias modernizadoras que han implementado los dirigentes de la entidad para ubicar a la entidad como uno de los clubes de fútbol más importantes a nivel internacional
