Ferrocarriles hacia el Oriente. Articulación del territorio y construcción nacional a inicios del siglo XX en el Ecuador (Estudios)

The railway lines proyect to the Eastern provinces of Ecuador that was established in the process of nation building at the beginning of the 20th Century formed an integral part of the program promoted by the liberal governmentes, that had intrest in articulating the region and control of the amazonic space. There is an analysis on the debate about the constrution of roads to the East at the beginning of Century and the development a railines to the cities of Ambato to Curaray, also sketching other railroad proyects to the East. The study contributes to redeeming the history of one of the raillines that has ocuppied significat political debates in the period and to situated some of the contradictions that were presented in the process of nation building.

La emergencia del intelectual en América Latina y el espacio público: el caso de Alfonso Reyes, 1927-1939 (Debates)

This article is a case study of the emergence of the intellectual in Spanish American: the trajectory of Alfonso Reyes. In Latin America modernity and the beginnings of the 20th Century contributed to circumstances and historical processes that permitted the 19th Century literates to progressively transform into intellectual: to be exact a ‘transitional intellectual’. This study looks at some of the dynamics that validated the intellectual as a new social actor during the period studied. The public visibility as it was never before, placed thinkers, and the use of means of communication of the time and the cultural elements like books and magazines, allowing that they be turned into public figures and to obtain some of their objectives.

Cytogenetic analysis of three species of the genus Haemulon (Teleostei : Haemulinae) from Margarita Island, Venezuela

This paper describes the karyotype analysis of Haemulon aurolineatum, Haemulon bonariensis and Haemulon plumierii, by Giemsa staining, C-banding, Ag-staining and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), to locate the 18S and 5S rRNA genes. Diploid modal count in the three species was 2n = 48 acrocentric elements. Except for pair 24, which exhibited an unmistakable secondary constriction in all three species, it was not possible to classify them as homologous to each other because differences in chromosome size were too slight between adjacent pairs within a size-graded series. Ag-NOR clusters were located in pair 24 in the three species with signal located on the secondary constriction of these chromosomes. C-banding demonstrated that the three species share the same distribution pattern of the constitutive heterochromatin with centromeric heterochromatic blocks in the 23 chromosome pairs and a pericentromeric block in pair 24 which is coincident with the NORs. FISH experiments showed that 18S rDNA sequences were located coincident with the Ag-NOR site in the three species; however, differences in both the number and chromosome distribution of 5S-rDNA cluster were detected among them. Our data suggest that chromosome evolution of Haemulon has been preserved from major changes in the karyotypic macrostructure, whereas microstructural changes have occurred.
