Días de odio: una transposición noir en el cine argentino después de la caída del sistema de estudios

Días de odio: una transposición noir en el cine argentino después de la caída del sistema de estudios Giacomelli, Daniel Adrian En el presente trabajo intentaremos dar cuenta de los procesos mediante los cuales se llevó a cabo la transposición fílmica de “Emma Zunz” (1948) de Jorge Luis Borges, que ha sido adaptada como Días de odio (Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, 1954). Pretendemos visibilizar aquellos rasgos que acerca la película a la tipología noir, considerando aquellos aspectos de la obra original que sufrieron modificaciones en su transposición a la forma fílmica…

Berberis burruyacuensis O. R. Dantur, S. Radice, E. Giordani, A. Papini sp. nov. (Berberidaceae): a new species

Berberis burruyacuensis O. R. Dantur, S. Radice, E. Giordani, A. Papini sp. nov. (Berberidaceae): a new species Gori, M.; Biricolti, S.; Pedrazzani, S.; Giordani, E.; Papini, A.; Dantur, O. R.; Arena, M. E.; Radice, Silvia A new species of Berberis L. from the region of Tucuma´n (Argentina), locally known as ‘‘sacha mikuna’’, was described as Berberis burruyacuensis. The phylogenetic position was evaluated with ITS DNA sequences, particularly with respect to Berberis mikuna Job and other Berberis species of West-South America. The autonomy of the species, beyond the observed morphological and phenological traits, was confirmed through high maximum likelihood bootstrap values and bayesian support. Moreover, a 3 nucleotides insertion, together with two transversions and one transition, characterizes B. burruyacuensis ITS1 DNA region with respect to the rest of the species of the genus. B. burruyacuensis clustered in a very interesting position, that is as an outgroup to the rest of the South American species of Berberis. This position may suggest for this species the maintenance of relatively plesiomorphic characters with respect to the rest of the clade.

Derechos de autor y buenas prácticas en las publicaciones científicas

Derechos de autor y buenas prácticas en las publicaciones científicas; Copyright and good practices in scientific publications Sardi, Marina Laura; Bailliet, Graciela Las publicaciones científicas constituyen un importante indicador de la trayectoria laboral de un investigador, resultante de intereses, restricciones y de diversas negociaciones. Un lugar en que se manifiestan muchos de estos elementos es la configuración de las autorías del trabajo. Esto suele ser motivo de tensiones cuando, por ejemplo, en la lista de autores de un trabajo se excluye a alguien que generó determinado tipo de información o contenido; así como cuando se incorporan autores por devolución de gentilezas que nada aportaron a dicho contenido. Como investigadoras y editoras de la Revista Argentina de Antropología Biológica, basándonos en nuestra experiencia y en comentarios recibidos de algunos colegas en el ejercicio de actividades de investigación, entendemos que es necesario aportar elementos de reflexión sobre este tema. Los objetivos de este trabajo son los de a) visibilizar la problemática sobre el reconocimiento de autorías en las publicaciones y b) aportar algunas directrices para garantizar el respeto a los derechos de autor.; Scientific publications are considered an important indicator of a researcher’s career, resulting from interests, restrictions, and various negotiations. The configuration of authorship can be a source of tension, for example, when someone who generated a certain type of information or content is excluded from the list of authors of a work, or also, when someone is incorporated as author in a manner of return of courtesies, although they contributed nothing to the said content. As researchers and editors of the Revista Argentina de Antropología Biológica, based on our experience and comments received from colleagues during research activities, we understand that it is necessary to contribute elements of reflection on this topic. The objectives of this work are to a) make visible the problems regarding the recognition of authorship in publications, and b) provide some guidelines to guarantee respect for copyright.

Fe-Chelating compounds producing fungal communities and their applications

Fe-Chelating compounds producing fungal communities and their applications Becerra, Alejandra Gabriela Fungi are producing many secondary compounds such as siderophores that play an important role in the agriculture field. Siderophores are an essential compound produced by some fungal communities such as plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF), biocontrol agent, and phytopathogen during iron deficiency. Iron is an essential compound for the fungi physiology. Indeed, a few studies mention the role of fungal siderophores in agriculture. Many types of siderophores are detected such as fusarinines, rhodotorulic acid, coprogens, and ferrichrome that are secreted by fungi. The ability to produce siderophores is an interesting trait for some species of fungi which can be utilized in agriculture instead of synthetic chemicals. Many important fungi can produce siderophores including mycorrhiza, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Aspergillus, and Penicillium. However, the mechanism of iron chelating by producing siderophores, is possible applying in control of plant pathogens, weeds, and promoting plant growth. This mechanism showed high efficacy in competing and affecting the activity and growth of several plant pathogens that can cause inhibition for growth. This mechanism can provide iron easy to absorb for plants which are promoting plant growth. However, it must determine the ability of fungal strains to produce siderophores at an appropriate level. It is helpful in enhancing the traits of producing siderophores by these these fungi under the different environments that potential increase in their efficiency for using in agriculture.

Bamboo flowering in South America: what the past tells about the future

Bamboo flowering in South America: what the past tells about the future Guerreiro, Carolina Inés; Vega, Andrea Susana A key characteristic of most woody bamboos is the process of cyclical flowering after a long vegetative period. These flowering events are generally gregarious, affecting an entire region, and are followed by the death of individuals. The duration of the life cycle has been determined in very few species. After reconstructing the history of massive reproductive episodes of South American woody bamboo species, the life span of many species was estimated. For most of the species considered, mean flowering period multiples of 15–16 years were found, with an ca. 30-year cycle being the most usual. Evidence of a certain level of reproductive synchrony among different species was found in South America. This survey had also led to several predictions about probable dates of future flowering events. The existence of a relationship between a mass flowering event and climate factors is preliminarily assessed, yielding original results. Although historical records and climate data series are fragmentary, there are some hints that point out a trend that should be taken into account in future studies. Proposed environmental and genetic causes of bamboo flowering are discussed. Finally, the environmental and social consequences of bamboo flowering are listed.

Las dimensiones sociales de las desigualdades sociales del agro en una etapa de crecimiento económico: el noroeste de Córdoba (Argentina), 1900-1930

Las dimensiones sociales de las desigualdades sociales del agro en una etapa de crecimiento económico: el noroeste de Córdoba (Argentina), 1900-1930 Moreyra Villalba, Beatriz Ines Esta ponencia se propone analizar los procesos y dimensiones generadores del atraso y desigualdad económica, social e institucional de los espacios rurales extra pampeanos durante las tres primeras décadas del siglo XX. Para ello, se ha seleccionado como caso de estudio la región del Noroeste de Córdoba, como territorio que adoleció de una marginalidad multidimensional. Este recorte del objeto de indagación y el abordaje escogido permite ofrecer una perspectiva compleja y matizada de los procesos macrohistóricos rurales argentinos, dado que recorta espacios y escalas permitiendo una comprensión diferente del contexto histórico y sus actores, sin desconocer su interrelación con la escala nacional o internacional.

Permo-Jurassic Cynodonts: The Early Road to Mammalness

Permo-Jurassic Cynodonts: The Early Road to Mammalness Abdala, Nestor Fernando The path to mammalness is well documented in the fossil record of Therapsida. Cynodontia is a group that includes living mammals and a series of stem fossil taxa that are individualized under the paraphyletic name of non-mammalian cynodonts. In this chapter I summarize the cynodont record of the late Permian, the post end-Permian extinction record and the remainder of the Triassic; and also examine two groups with strong morphological changes toward mammalness: Mammaliamorpha and Mammaliaformes (with the review of the last group restricted to the very basal forms documented in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic). The final section of this contribution summarizes the advances in different areas of knowledge of cynodonts in the first 19 years of the 21st century. Among other topics considered are a tally of new species proposed, the discovery of new fossil sites with records of cynodonts, the phylogenetic hypotheses presented for different groups, and the tempo of cynodont evolution in light of recent changes in the geological temporal scale and the results of absolute dating.

Reprogramming the tumor metastasis cascade by targeting galectin-driven networks

Reprogramming the tumor metastasis cascade by targeting galectin-driven networks Perrotta, Ramiro Martin; Bach, Camila Agustina; Salatino, Mariana; Rabinovich, Gabriel Adrián A sequence of interconnected events known as the metastatic cascade promotes tumor progression by regulating cellular and molecular interactions between tumor, stromal, endothelial, and immune cells both locally and systemically. Recently, a new concept has emerged to better describe this process by defining four attributes that metastatic cells should undergo. Every individual hallmark represents a unique trait of a metastatic cell that impacts directly in the outcome of the metastasis process. These critical features, known as the hallmarks of metastasis, include motility and invasion, modulation of the microenvironment, cell plasticity and colonization. They are hierarchically regulated at different levels by several factors, including galectins, a highly conserved family of β-galactoside-binding proteins abundantly expressed in tumor microenvironments and sites of metastasis. In this review, we discuss the role of galectins in modulating each hallmark of metastasis, highlighting novel therapeutic opportunities for treating the metastatic disease.

Estudio diagnóstico sobre la situación habitacional de las trabajadoras sexuales en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19 : acceso a la vivienda y violencia institucional en el Barrio de Constitución

Estudio diagnóstico sobre la situación habitacional de las trabajadoras sexuales en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19 : acceso a la vivienda y violencia institucional en el Barrio de Constitución Varela, Cecilia Ines; Martynowskyj, Estefania; Gonzalez, Felipe; Sánchez, Alexandra; Albornoz, Maximiliano; Manes, Lucía Este informe surge de una demanda que el sindicato de trabajadoras sexuales AMMAR nos formuló inicialmente como equipo de investigación radicado en el Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas (FFyL-UBA), a raíz del agravamiento de la situación habitacional, ya crítica, de las trabajadoras sexuales, en el contexto de las medidas implementadas durante el Aislamiento Social, Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO). Se llevó a cabo en el marco de un convenio de asistencia técnica entre AMMAR y CONICET (CONVE-2021-60164848-APN-GVT). Durante el desarrollo de esta investigación emergieron preocupaciones en torno a las situaciones de violencia institucional que parecían aumentar en el marco de los refuerzos de los controles policiales para el cumplimiento de las medidas definidas por el ASPO. Se añadió esta dimensión de análisis en el cuestionario aplicado, y se articuló con el proyecto PISAC-COVID 19 0026 ("Fuerzas de seguridad, vulnerabilidad y violencias. Un estudio interdisciplinario, multidimensional y comparativo de las formas de intervención de la fuerzas de seguridad y policías en contextos de vulnerabilidad en la Argentina post pandemia") que integran algunos miembros del equipo de investigación dentro del Nodo 15 Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas .

Optimización dinámica basada en Fourier. Aplicación al proceso de producción de biodiesel

Optimización dinámica basada en Fourier. Aplicación al proceso de producción de biodiesel; Dynamic optimization based on Fourier. Application to the biodiesel process Pantano, Maria Nadia; Fernández Puchol, María Cecilia; Rodriguez Aguilar, Leandro Pedro Faustino; Scaglia, Gustavo Juan Eduardo Este trabajo presenta una novedosa metodología para la optimización dinámica del proceso de producción de biodiesel a partir de aceites vegetales en modo discontinuo. La metodología propuesta tiene la particularidad de emplear la serie de Fourier para la parametrización de la acción de control, y algoritmos evolutivos para la optimización de parámetros. Las ventajas principales de esta estrategia son, por un lado, que los perfiles obtenidos son suaves, es decir, continuos y diferenciables, por lo tanto pueden implementarse directamente en sistemas reales, sin necesidad de filtrar o suavizar la señal de control; por otro lado, se requiere una mínima cantidad de parámetros para la optimización, evitando la sobre-parametrización, la cual puede disminuir la calidad de la respuesta. Los algoritmos propuestos han sido evaluados a través de simulaciones, obteniendo resultados muy satisfactorios comparados con los existentes en bibliografía.; This work presents a novel methodology for the dynamic optimization of the biodiesel production process from vegetable oils in discontinuous mode. The proposed methodology has the particularity of using the Fourier series for the parameterization of the control action, and evolutionary algorithms for the optimization of parameters. The main advantages of this strategy are, on the one hand, that the profiles obtained are smooth, that is, continuous and differentiable, therefore they can be directly implemented in real systems, without the need to filter or soften the control signal; on the other hand, a minimum amount of parameters is required for optimization, avoiding over-parameterization, which can decrease the quality of the response. The proposed algorithms have been evaluated through simulations, obtaining very satisfactory results compared to those published in the literature.

Lex Mercatoria, derechos humanos y crisis pandémica: cómo el libre comercio y la protección de inversiones pueden afectar el patrimonio público y el derecho al agua en el contexto COVID-19

Lex Mercatoria, derechos humanos y crisis pandémica: cómo el libre comercio y la protección de inversiones pueden afectar el patrimonio público y el derecho al agua en el contexto COVID-19 Echaide, Javier Iñigo El marco histórico de la globalización neoliberal sirvió para el incremento de un entramado jurídico de reglas que protegen al capital transnacional en su proceso de acumulación a escala planetaria, a la caza de casi dos billones de dólares que dan la vuelta al mundo en forma de inversión extranjera directa y que, en ausencia de un tratado multilateral único o de una institución mundial que regule ese flujo de dinero, recaen en tratados bilaterales cuya aplicación e interpretación de las normas jurídicas aplicables suelen carecer de coherencia y de transparencia (Petersmann, 2009).

Seamless low-temperature thermochronological modeling in Andino 3D, towards integrated structural and thermal simulations

Seamless low-temperature thermochronological modeling in Andino 3D, towards integrated structural and thermal simulations Cristallini, Ernesto Osvaldo; Sánchez Nassif, Francisco Gabriel Antonio; Balciunas, Daniel Eduardo; Mora, Andrés; Ketcham, Richard; Nigro, Joaquín; Hernández, Juan; Hernández, Roberto We present the development of thermochronological tools for Andino 3D® software, that integrates Fetkin (Finite Element Temperature Kinematics). These tools allow the user to work on both the structural and the thermochronological model at the same time, providing a user-friendly environment that overcomes the need to work with different programs. Thermochronological and structural models can be checked and eventually corrected in a visual and intuitive form by following a 4-step workflow. The first step of such workflow is to define the thermochronological computing grid, checking in real time, if the resolution and coverage are satisfactory. After that, the interpolation process can be done, whereby velocity vectors for all nodes in beds and faults are calculated for all interpolated times. The third step of the workflow consists of filling thermal properties and velocities for all grid cells. The final step is the calculation of the thermal state at each time in the reconstruction. Boundary conditions (basal temperature, basal heat flow, surface temperature and altitude gradient) are defined by mouse picking as constant, spatially varying, time varying or spatially and time varying. To check the feasibility of a structural model, thermochronological samples can be defined at desired positions to predict time-temperature variations. Simulated fission track ages, mean track lengths and age standard deviations can be calculated for different minerals (apatite and zircons). Also, cooling ages and %Ro can be simulated for (U–Th-Sm)/He and vitrinite systems, respectively. The Carohuaicho structure in the southern Bolivia sub-Andean Ranges is presented as a case of study to demonstrate these tools. Andino 3D® allowed us to successfully simulate the t-T paths of four samples where (U–Th-Sm)/He measurements were available. The different models performed permitted us to conclude that a low geothermal gradient was likely to be present during the last 7 Ma of Andean deformation in the study region.

Acute regulation of apical ABC transporters in the gut. Potential influence on drug bioavailability

Acute regulation of apical ABC transporters in the gut. Potential influence on drug bioavailability Dominguez, Camila Juliana; Tocchetti, Guillermo Nicolás; Rigalli, Juan Pablo; Mottino, Aldo Domingo The extensive intestinal surface offers an advantage regarding nutrient, ion and water absorptive capacity but also brings along a high exposition to xenobiotics, including drugs of therapeutic use and food contaminants. After absorption of these compounds by the enterocytes, apical ABC transporters play a key role in secreting them back to the intestinal lumen, hence acting as a transcellular barrier. Rapid and reversible modulation of their activity is a subject of increasing interest for pharmacologists. On the one hand, a decrease in transporter activity may result in increased absorption of therapeutic agents given orally. On the other hand, an increase in transporter activity would decrease their absorption and therapeutic efficacy. Although of less relevance, apical ABC transporters also contribute to disposition of drugs systemically administered. This review article summarizes the present knowledge on the mechanisms aimed to rapidly regulate the activity of the main apical ABC transporters of the gut: multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Regulation of these mechanisms by drugs, drug delivery systems, drug excipients and nutritional components are particularly considered. This information could provide the basis for controlled regulation of bioavailability of therapeutic agents and at the same time would help to prevent potential drug-drug interactions.

Palynology and organic geochemistry of an early to Middle Devonian succession from TCB X-1001– tacobo borehole, sub-Andean basin, southern Bolivia

Palynology and organic geochemistry of an early to Middle Devonian succession from TCB X-1001– tacobo borehole, sub-Andean basin, southern Bolivia García, Victoria Josefina; Rubinstein, Claudia Viviana; Camina, Sonia Clara; Vergani, Gustavo Dardo; Pereira, Martín Miguel Palynological and organic geochemical analyses have been performed on an Early to Middle Devonian clastic marine sedimentary succession of the TCB X-1001 – Tacobo borehole, in the Foothills of the southern sub-Andean ranges of Bolivia. The studied subsurface section encompasses shallow marine deposits of the Icla, Huamampampa and Los Monos formations. Eighteen from the twenty-three cutting samples available were productive, yielding variable abundance, diversity and preservation of organic-walled phytoplankton and miospores, with an increasing trend of terrestrial palynomorphs transpiring towards the younger beds. The palynological assemblage of the Icla Formation contains Bimerga nuda, Cordobesia cf. C. uruguayensis, Duvernaysphaera angelae, and Dibolisporites echinaceus. The Huamampampa Formation includes Polyedryxium sp. cf. P. condensum, Umbellasphaeridium deflandrei and Acinosporites eumammillatus. Arkonites bilixus, Maranhites mosesii, Polyedryxium “talus”, Stellinium comptun, Archaeozonotriletes variabilis, Chelinospora timanica, Convolutispora subtilis, Cymbosporites cyathus, Dibolisporites farraginis, Geminospora lemurata, Grandispora permulta, Samarisporites eximius and Verrucosisporites premnus are among the most relevant taxa of the Los Monos Formation. Based on the organic-walled phytoplankton and the miospores of the studied section, the Icla, Huamampampa and Los Monos formations are assigned to the late Pragian - Emsian, Emsian and Eifelian?- middle Givetian, respectively. The palynomorph distribution, relative abundance and preservation throughout the studied samples support the palaeoenvironment interpretation based on sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy. RockEval pyrolysis, TOC, HI and Tmax data were analysed to determine type and quality of the kerogen and hydrocarbon potential of the stratigraphic units.

El trabajo en la pospandemia: una ¿nueva? discusión

El trabajo en la pospandemia: una ¿nueva? discusión Gerbaldo, Gabriel; Landoni, Andrés Desde inicios del presente año, la mayor parte del globo se encuentrasumergido en una pandemia. Sin encontrar aún salida, esta acarrea gravessecuelas tanto a nivel sanitario como en el de la reproducción delas relaciones sociales, económicas, políticas y culturales. El COVID-19no hizo más que exponer las principales debilidades de un régimen deacumulación capitalista que ya supo evidenciar, en 2008, su endeblez.A lo largo de las siguientes líneas, reflexionaremos acerca de unadimensión del mundo social pospandemia que, de alguna manera, nosafecta a todos. Hacemos referencia, específicamente, al trabajo. Creemosque la pandemia no conlleva, en sí misma, las transformacionesdel mundo laboral, sino que, más bien, actuó como un acelerador demovimientos previos a aquella.

Can Self-Compassion Predict Future Anxiety and Depression?: A Cross-Lagged Panel Model Analysis in a Dominican Republic Sample

Can Self-Compassion Predict Future Anxiety and Depression?: A Cross-Lagged Panel Model Analysis in a Dominican Republic Sample Jiménez Payano, Daniel; García, Luisa; Nazir, Asha; Bonilla, Luz; Veras, Greicy; Rodríguez, Leidy; Rivas, Elaine; Tejada, María; Flores Kanter, Pablo Ezequiel Emotional dysregulation, in the form of anxiety and depression, has a significant economic, social and psychological impact on a global scale. Several approaches have been developed in the hope of helping people to better regulate these emotions, with mixed results. Specifically, third-wave therapies seem to perform particularly well. These therapies share the variable of self-compassion, which both in evolutive and practical terms appears to be a key variable in regulating difficult emotional states such as anxiety and depression. The objective of this research was to verify the adjustment of an explanatory model of anxiety and depression, which considers the effect of self-compassion. A sample of 371 residents in Dominican Republic was used and a cross-lagged panel model analysis was carried out. The measurement model fit the data well. Also, it is possible to verify that self-compassion at time 1 predicts depression and anxiety at Time 2 in a theoretically coherent direction. Clinical implications for non-WEIRD countries are discussed.

Roller blinds characterization assessing discomfort glare, view outside and useful daylight illuminance with the sun in the field of view

Roller blinds characterization assessing discomfort glare, view outside and useful daylight illuminance with the sun in the field of view Yamin Garretón, Julieta Alejandra; Villalba, Ayelén María; Rodriguez, Roberto Germán; Pattini, Andrea Elvira This research presents an experiment where the relationship between view outside (VO), daylight availability (DA) and glare protection (GP) of nine shading fabrics were evaluated. This kind of shading device is placed on the market (Argentina) without a proper characterization of their lighting performance, leading to an inadequate application. Glare was evaluated through DGP model, by means of HDRI technique, calibrated through externally measured luminance and validating with vertical illuminance. Vision outside was evaluated through the View Clarity Index (VCI) and daylight availability was assessed through Useful Daylight llluminance (UDI) dynamic daylight metric. Finally, two roller blind selection procedure were proposed. The first one considering each parameter independently (GP, VO and DA) and the second criteria, weighing the scores through a ternary plot.
