Philander opossum (Marsupialia), a new host record for Sparganum of Lueheella Baer, 1924 (= Spirometra Mueller, 1937)

Two samples of Sparganum, the larval form of Lueheella Baer, 1924 (= Spirometra Mueller, 1937) were recovered from Philander opossum (L. 1758) captured in Salobra, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, by Dr. Lauro Travassos in may, 1942. This is the first report of the presence of this larval form in P. opossum. Dealing with helminths recovered from Brazilian Marsupialia, deposited in Oswaldo Cruz Institute Helminthological Collection, we examined in two samples of the preserved material collected in Salobra. Mato Grosso State, nine larval forms (Sparganum) of Lueheella sp. One of the samples, with six specimens, tissue. It is the first report of philander opossum harbouring this larval stage. The studied preserved wet material was stained and whole mounts were deposited in the Oswaldo Cruz institute Helminthological collection ns. 31.470 and 31.471. Measurements are in mm.

Espejo, cuerpo e identidad en Ifigenia (Teresa de la Parra, Caracas, 1924)

El trabajo Espejo, cuerpo e identidad en Ifigenia (Teresa de la Parra, Caracas, 1924) plantea el tema del espejo como afianzador de la identidad del personaje principal de la novela Ifigenia, María Eugenia Alonso. A través del espejo la autora configura a su personaje principal y todo el entramado de acontecimientos en la novela. El espejo permite a la heroína darse un cuerpo y construirse a su antojo a través del ritual del arreglo. Cada mirada al espejo se convierte en el despliegue de una puerta o umbral que atrae y que a su entrada le permitirá al personaje conectar con una nueva identidad.

Comparison of recent toll road concession transactions in the United States and France

Recent concessions in France and in the US have resulted in a dramatic difference in the valuation placed on the toll roads; the price paid by the investors in France was twelve times current cash flow whereas investors paid sixty times current cash flow for the U.S. toll roads. In this paper we explore two questions: What accounts for the difference in these multiples, and what are the implications with respect to the public interest. Our analysis illustrates how structural and procedural decisions made by the public owner affect the concession price. Further, the terms of the concession have direct consequences that are enjoyed or borne by the various stakeholders of the toll road.
