Actualización de registros y distribución de Digitonthophagus gazella (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) en Argentina: Una potencial especie invasora

The distribution of Digitonthophagus gazella in Argentina is updated. A total of 246 individuals were captured between 2012 and 2022, through different techniques, including manual collection, light traps, and baited pitfall traps. The species is present in ten provinces, six of which are first records. In addition, D. gazella was recorded for the first time in five ecoregions, Atlantic Forest, the Espinal, Subtropical Grasslands, Northern Monte, and Parana Delta. The potential consequences of this introduced species on native dung beetles assemblages should be assessed in future studies.Se actualiza la distribución de Digitonthophagus gazella en Argentina. Se capturaron 246 individuos entre 2012 y 2022, por medio de diversas técnicas, colecta manual, trampas de luz y trampas de caída cebadas con diferentes tipos de excrementos. Esta especie fue recolectada en diez provincias, de las cuales seis de ellas constituyen primeros registros. Además, D. gazella se registra por primera vez en cinco ecorregiones, Bosque Atlántico, Espinal, Pastizal Subtropical, Monte Norte y Delta del Paraná. Las consecuencias potenciales de esta especie introducida sobre los ensambles de escarabajos coprófagos nativos, deben evaluarse en futuros estudios.Fil: Guerra Alonso, Celeste Beatriz.

Surface electromyography pattern of human swallowing

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The physiology of swallowing is characterized by a complex and coordinated activation of many stomatognathic, pharyngeal, and laryngeal muscles. Kinetics and electromyographic studies have widely investigated the pharyngeal and laryngeal pattern of deglutition in order to point out the differences between normal and dysphagic people. In the dental field, muscular activation during swallowing is believed to be the cause of malocclusion.</p> <p>Despite the clinical importance given to spontaneous swallowing, few physiologic works have studied stomatognathic muscular activation and mandibular movement during spontaneous saliva swallowing.</p> <p>The aim of our study was to investigate the activity patterns of the mandibular elevator muscles (masseter and anterior temporalis muscles), the submental muscles, and the neck muscles (sternocleidomastoid muscles) in healthy people during spontaneous swallowing of saliva and to relate the muscular activities to mandibular movement.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>The spontaneous swallowing of saliva of 111 healthy individuals was analyzed using surface electromyography (SEMG) and a computerized kinesiography of mandibular movement.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Fifty-seven of 111 patients swallowed without occlusal contact (SNOC) and 54 individuals had occlusal contact (SOC). The sternocleidomastoid muscles showed a slight, but constant activation during swallowing. The SEMG of the submental and sternocleidomastoid muscles showed no differences between the two groups. The SEMG of the anterior temporalis and masseter muscles showed significant differences (p < 0.0001). The duration of swallowing was significantly higher in the SNOC subjects. Gender and age were not related to electromyographic activation. Healthy SOC and SNOC behaved in different ways.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The data suggest that there is not a single "normal" or "typical" pattern for spontaneous saliva swallowing. The polygraph seemed a valuable, simple, non-invasive and reliable tool to study the physiology of swallowing.</p

An ethnographic investigation of police education : implications for professionalism and continuing criminal justice education

Includes bibliographical references (pages [298]-316)This study was conducted in order to address the current state of higher education, vocational training, and continuing professional education as it relates to law enforcement and the profession of criminal justice. It demonstrates that the issue of higher education as it relates to the police service continues to be a topic of debate surrounded in controversy. This study further demonstrates that the issues of higher education and police training are very closely related to the concept of professionalism. It is revealed within this study that a higher educational standard for incoming police officers may not be enough to raise the level of policing for society. As such, this research has determined that the level and quality of police training must also be raised and is an issue of importance, equal to that of higher education, if the quality of policing is to improve and if it is to achieve the status of a true profession. The methodology used was a qualitative-research design utilizing data collection techniques that are consistent with an ethnophenomenological approach. Participants in this study were the subject of structured interviews and were selected based on their expertise and experience in the fields of law enforcement, higher education, and police vocational training. A number of emergent themes were revealed from the data: A belief that the current level of police vocational training, both recruit and in-service training, is inadequate; higher educational standards need to be imposed as a condition of employment; and the convergence of these two issues. Fundamentally, what is required is the improved higher education of incoming police recruits and the elevation of the relevance and quality of in-service training which would raise the profession to a new level. As such, this study determined that an improved level of recruits would lead to better and improved recruit and in-service training. It is recommended that the quality of police training be raised in order to attract potential recruits of a higher-educational standard.Ed.D. (Doctor of Education
