Human Rights or Human Wrongs
The line between what is an acceptable and moral practice is continually blurred, and may soon be nonexistent. In our "me first" society, it is expected that we can do whatever we want, whenever we want, with our bodies because, after all, they are our bodies and no one can tell us what we can or can't do. And so science marches along. Science can be a great thing, and miracles happen every day in the field of science. But just because we can do something doesn't mean we should do it.
THE POLITICS OF NAMING
This article explores the definitions, constructions, understandings and struggles around Cultural Studies as a whole in Latin America, giving particular attention to its central legacies and the differences among them. Its interest is to bring to the fore the ways in which the political and de-colonial afford perspectives that challenge and make tense the hegemonic academic enterprise as a whole, and drive efforts to (re)think Cultural Studies – or better called inter-Cultural Studies – as projects of intervention in which knowledge and thought are intertwined with transformation and the making of a radically distinct social world.
Redescription of two ghost shrimps (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae) from the Middle Miocene of the Central Paratethys: systematics, intraspecific variation, and in situ preservation
A redescription of two Middle Miocene burrowing ghost shrimps of the Central Paratethys, Callianassa brocchii L renthey, 1897 and Callianassa pseudorakosensis L renthey in L renthey & Beurlen, 1929, is provided. Material forming the basis of this study comes from the Studienka Formation (lower 'Sarmatian', Serravallian) of the Slovak part of the Vienna Basin and exhibits preservation allowing reassignment of the studied taxa to the genera Neocallichirus Sakai, 1988 and Eucalliax Manning & Felder, 1991 respectively. The major cheliped of both species exhibits two distinct morphotypes interpreted herein as possible sexual dimorpism. Several specimens of both taxa are preserved within the tube structures and are interpreted as in situ preservation within the burrows. Type material of both studied taxa and additional collections from the roughly coeval strata of Hungary and Austria were also studied.
