El “tarifazo” del año 2016 y su tratamiento en medios digitales salteños y nacionales
Montone, Mauro Alejandro; Durán, Rodrigo Javier
El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de los estudios de la agenda mediática y analiza, desde la perspectiva conceptual de la Agenda-Setting, el tratamiento informativo que le dieron dos medios digitales provinciales (www.eltribuno.com.ar y www.lagacetasalta.com.ar) y dos de alcance nacional (www.clarin.com y www.lanación.com.ar) a los aumentos en las tarifas de los servicios de electricidad y gas por red durante el primer año de gobierno de Mauricio Macri; hecho tematizado en la agenda pública como “tarifazo”. Específicamente, se buscó establecer cuáles fueron los temas desagregados del “tarifazo” que más relevancia adquirieron en base a la asiduidad con la que aparecieron en la cobertura y el tipo de atributos o agenda atributiva desplegada relativa a cada uno de los temas. El trabajo empírico se asentó en la metodología del análisis de contenido cuantitativo. Los principales resultados de la investigación indican que existió un fuerte nivel de consonancia tanto de los medios digitales salteños como los nacionales en otorgarle relevancia a los acontecimientos y atributos vinculados con la judicialización de las tarifas por sobre otros aspectos (como el impacto sobre los usuarios o el ahorro de energía, por ejemplo), al mismo tiempo que la mayor cantidad de noticias datan de los meses de julio y agosto, período en el cual sucedieron los fallos de la justicia instando la nulidad de los aumento. Tales resultados son congruentes con el estilo periodístico de las noticias en internet incorporando componentes de espectacularización en la cobertura.

Leptospirosis is a common but underdiagnosed zoonosis. We conducted a 1-year prospective study in La Guaira State, Venezuela, analyzing 71 hospitalized patients who had possible leptospirosis and sampling local rodents and dairy cows. Leptospira rrs gene PCR test results were positive in blood or urine samples from 37/71 patients. Leptospira spp. were isolated from cultured blood or urine samples of 36/71 patients; 29 had L. interrogans, 3 L. noguchii, and 4 L. venezuelensis. Conjunctival suffusion was the most distinguishing clinical sign, many patients had liver involvement, and 8/30 patients with L. interrogans infections died. The Leptospira spp. found in humans were also isolated from local rodents; L. interrogans and L. venezuelensis were isolated from cows on a nearby, rodent-infested farm. Phylogenetic clustering of L. venezuelensis isolates suggested a recently expanded outbreak strain spread by rodents. Increased awareness of leptospirosis prevalence and rapid diagnostic tests are needed to improve patient outcomes.
Landscape Connectivity in South America: An Assessment of the Current Knowledge and A Case Study Using Protected Areas of Argentina
Guerisoli, Maria de Las Mercedes; Schiaffini, Mauro Ignacio
Purpose of Review Habitat fragmentation is recognized as a central issue in conservation biology, provoking a discontinuity in the distribution of resources. This in turn, leads to isolation of populations and increases extinction risks. South America holds a very diverse and endemism-rich fauna of mammals, which are being increasingly threatened by habitat fragmentation.In this scenario, protected areas are vital for the conservation of mammals, and the connectivity between them is vital for their success. The study of connectivity in South America is only incipient, with a few references. Recent Findings Here, we developed a review on connectivity studies for this region, analyzing spatial and temporal trends through an extensive reference search. By identifying knowledge gaps on connectivity studies in Argentina, we also developed a case study analysis on environmental connectivity between Protected Areas for this country, considering land cover categories using circuit theory. We found 75 references for the study area, with an increasing number over the years. Brazil was the country with the highest number of references followed by Colombia. Carnivora was the most studied taxa, with thejaguar Panthera onca as the most targeted single species. Circuit theory was the most used method, followed by Least-Cost Path. The Protected Areas of Argentina showed dissimilar representation and connectivity patterns according to land covercategories, being mostly concentrated in closed forests.Summary Habitat fragmentation in South America is increasing and follows economic trends and lack of management, escalating the need to conserve the Protected Area systems and their connectivity.
La antesala del final: El peronismo y la oposición en Chaco en vísperas del golpe de Estado de 1955; The prelude to the end: Peronism and the opposition in Chaco on the eve of the 1955 coup
Maggio, Mayra Soledad; Barreto Oliva, Anabella
El golpe de Estado de septiembre de 1955 constituyó el acontecimiento más visible del proceso de conflictividad política y social que tuvo lugar durante la segunda presidencia de Juan Domingo Perón. Una de las características de esta etapa fue la incorporación de la Iglesia Católica al sector antiperonista, que dio a los partidos políticos un importante elemento legitimador, ensanchando las bases de la oposición. A partir de entonces se multiplicaron los episodios de violencia y se aceleraron los planes conspirativos. La escalada de conflictos se vio jalonada por medidas de conciliación ensayadas por el gobierno con el fin de descomprimir la tensión y evitar la agudización de la confrontación política. En este artículo exploramos esta dinámica analizando los últimos años del gobierno peronista en Chaco -denominado entonces provincia “Presidente Perón”- atendiendo a las particularidades de este espacio, donde el peronismo había construido una fuerza hegemónica y exhibía una fuerte impronta sindical, así como estrechos vínculos con la Iglesia Católica.; The coup d'état of September 1955 was the most visible event in the process of political and social conflict that took place during the second presidency of Juan Domingo Perón. One of the characteristics of this stage was the incorporation of the Catholic Church into the anti-Peronist sector, which gave political parties an important legitimizing element, broadening the bases of the opposition. From then on, the episodes of violence multiplied and the conspiratorial planes accelerated. The escalation of conflicts was punctuated by conciliation measures tested by the government in order to decompress the tension and prevent the sharpening of the political confrontation. In this article we explore this dynamic by analyzing the last years of the Peronist government in Chaco -called then "President Perón" province- taking into account the particularities of this space, where Peronism had built a hegemonic force and exhibited a strong trade union imprint, as well as close Links with the Catholic Church.
The Boom of investigative journalism books in the 19990s: the case of Espejo de la Argentina by Planeta; O boom dos livros de investigação jornalística durante a década de 1990: o caso de “Espejo de la Argentina” da planeta; El boom de los libros de investigación periodística durante la década de 1990: el caso de Espejo de la Argentina de planeta
Baldoni, Micaela Mariel
During the 1990s, in Argentina, investigative journalism books became a publishing phenomenon. These best-sellers occupied an increasingly prominent place within the genre of political books. The pioneering collection of the genre was Espejo de la Argentina by Editorial Planeta. For its analysis, we first consider its connection with the strategies of international companies entering the local publishing market. Then, we explore the affinities between this project and certain journalistic spaces. Finally, we address how becoming a brand-author involves a symbolic rupture in terms of status and public authority for journalists. The work is based on a corpus composed of a database of journalistic books, press archives, and semi-structured interviews with editors and authors.; Durante a década de 1990, na Argentina, os livros de investigação jornalística tornaram-se um fenômeno editorial. Esses best-sellers ocuparam um lugar cada vez mais destacado dentro do gênero do livro político. A coleção pioneira do gênero foi Espejo de la Argentina da Editorial Planeta. Para sua análise, em primeiro lugar, consideramos sua ligação com as estratégias de entrada de empresas internacionais no mercado editorial local. Depois, investigamos as afinidades entre este projeto e certos espaços jornalísticos. Por fim, abordamos como se tornar um autor-marca envolve uma ruptura simbólica em termos de status e autoridade pública dos jornalistas. O trabalho é baseado em um corpus composto por um banco de dados de livros jornalísticos, arquivos de imprensa e entrevistas semiestruturadas com editores e autores; – Durante la década de 1990, en la Argentina los libros de investigación periodística devinieron un fenómeno editorial.

El trabajo se asienta en un corpus compuesto por una base de datos sobre libros periodísticos, de archivos de prensa y de entrevistas semiestructuradas a editores y autores.
Impact of nanosilver surface electronic distributions on serum protein interactions and hemocompatibility
Rivero, Paula Sofia; Pistonesi, Denise Belén; Belén, Federico; Centurión, María Eugenia; Benedini, Luciano Alejandro; Rauschemberger, María Belén; Messina, Paula Verónica
The translation of silver-based nanotechnology 'from bench to bedside' requires a deep understanding of the molecular aspects of its biological action, which remains controversial at low concentrations and non-spherical morphologies. Here, we present a hemocompatibility approach based on the effect of the distinctive electronic charge distribution in silver nanoparticles (nanosilver) on blood components. According to spectroscopic, volumetric, microscopic, dynamic light scattering measurements, pro-coagulant activity tests, and cellular inspection, we determine that at extremely low nanosilver concentrations (0.125–2.5 μg ml−1), there is a relevant interaction effect on the serum albumin and red blood cells (RBCs). This explanation has its origin in the surface charge distribution of nanosilver particles and their electron-mediated energy transfer mechanism. Prism-shaped nanoparticles, with anisotropic charge distributions, act at the surface level, generating a compaction of the native protein molecule. In contrast, the spherical nanosilver particle, by exhibiting isotropic surface charge, generates a polar environment comparable to the solvent. Both morphologies induce aggregation at NPs/bovine serum albumin ≈ 0.044 molar ratio values without altering the coagulation cascade tests; however, the spherical-shaped nanosilver exerts a negative impact on RBCs. Overall, our results suggest that the electron distributions of nanosilver particles, even at extremely low concentrations, are a critical factor influencing the molecular structure of blood proteins' and RBCs' membranes. Isotropic forms of nanosilver should be considered with caution, as they are not always the least harmful.
Perfectly Accurate Membership Inference by a Dishonest Central Server in Federated Learnin
Pichler, Georg; Romanelli, Marco; Rey Vega, Leonardo Javier; Piantanida, Pablo
Federated Learning is expected to provide strong privacy guarantees, as only gradients or model parameters but no plain text training data is ever exchanged either between the clients or between the clients and the central server. In this paper, we challenge this claim by introducing a simple but still very effective membership inference attack algorithm, which relies only on a single training step. In contrast to the popular honest-but-curious model, we investigate a framework with a dishonest central server. Our strategy is applicable to models with ReLU activations and uses the properties of this activation function to achieve perfect accuracy. Empirical evaluation on visual classification tasks with MNIST, CIFAR10, CIFAR100 and CelebA datasets show that our method provides perfect accuracy in identifying one sample in a training set with thousands of samples. Occasional failures of our method lead us to discover duplicate images in the CIFAR100 and CelebA datasets.
Maritime Historical Cultural Heritage: Puerto Madryn City as a Case Study from Patagonia, Argentina
Gutiérrez, Guillermo; Elkin, Dolores Carolina
This article focuses on the Maritime Historical Cultural Heritage (herein after MHCH) of Puerto Madryn. This city, located in Argentinean Patagonia, on the coast of the Nuevo Gulf, is a natural harbor with a rich history of seafaring. Since the 2000s, Argentina’s Underwater Archaeology Program of the National Institute of Anthropology and Latin American Thought (herein after PPROAS-INAPL), has been dedicated to the research and management of archaeological shipwreck sites located on the city’s foreshore, in the Nuevo Gulf, and other locations outside the city limits. In this article, the results of the studies carried out between 2018 and 2024 are presented. The primary aim was to broaden the knowledge of the MHCH of Puerto Madryn, focusing on shipwrecks. The specific objectives include classifying and characterizing the MHCH in a systematic manner, identifying the stakeholders’ interests in this heritage, understanding the various values assigned to the shipwrecks and the threats to their preservation. Based on the information gathered, a set of proposals for heritage activation oriented towards the enjoyment, interpretation and conservation of the MHCH is presented. This approach is innovative in South America for the topic under study.
Cambios en el régimen de tenencia de la tierra en la región pampeana (1988-2018); Changes in the land tenure regime in the Pampas region (1988-2018)
Fernández, Diego Ariel; Buet, Luciano Baltazar
Este trabajo se propone cuantificar los cambios operados en el régimen de tenencia del suelo pampeano entre 1988 y 2018, y su imbricación con el proceso de concentración productiva regional, con énfasis en lo concerniente a la evolución más reciente. Para ello, se solicitó al INDEC información pertinente del Censo Nacional Agropecuario 2018, la que fue procesada y agrupada de tal forma que permitiera analizar las variaciones en la relación con la tenencia de la tierra por la que optan productores de distinta escala. El análisis, realizado tanto a nivel regional como subregional, encuentra que la tendencia en favor del alquiler se ha intensificado, y que este crecimiento es explicado casi en su totalidad por las EAP de mayores dimensiones, información que puede resultar relevante en el diseño de políticas agrarias.; This work aims to quantify the changes that occurred in the Pampas land tenure regime between 1988 and 2018 and its interweaving with the process of regional productive concentration, with emphasis on the most recent evolution. To do this, relevant information from the 2018 National Agricultural Census that was not published was requested from INDEC, which was processed and grouped in such a way that it allows analyzing the variations in the relation with land tenure that producers of different size choose. The analysis, carried out both at the regional and subregional level, finds that the trend in favor of rentals has intensified, and this growth is almost entirely explained by the larger EAPs. This results may be relevant in the design of agricultural policies.
Las disputas políticas e ideológicas de nuestro tiempo: La democracia en cuestión; The political and ideological disputes of our time: Democracy in question; As disputas políticas e ideológicas de nosso tempo: A democracia em questão
Wegelin, Lucía; Ipar, Ezequiel; Cuesta, Micaela
En este texto analizamos algunos datos de una encuesta probabilística denominada “La legitimidad de la democracia en crisis”, realizada por el LEDA en colaboración con el CELS en septiembre de 2023. Nos detenemos en la lectura del Índice de Neoliberalismo y el Índice de Riesgo democrático, en tanto contribuyen a la interpretación de los resultados electorales de las elecciones presidenciales, siendo también centrales a la hora de comprender los desafíos político-ideológicos a los que se enfrenta la democracia argentina.; In this article we analyze data produced through a probabilistic survey called “The legitimacy of democracy in crisis”, carried out by LEDA in collaboration with CELS in September 2023. We focus on the reading of Neoliberalism Index and Democratic Risk Index, insofar as they contribute to electoral results’s interpretations, but are also central when it comes to understanding the political-ideological challenges that Argentine democracy faces.; Neste texto, analisamos alguns dados de uma pesquisa probabilística chamada «A legitimidade da democracia em crise», realizada pelo LEDA em colaboração com o CELS em setembro de 2023. Nós focamos na leitura do Índice de Neoliberalismo e do Índice de Risco Democrático, enquanto contribuem para a interpretação dos resultados eleitorais das eleições presidenciais, mas também são centrais na hora de compreender os desafios político-ideológicos que a democracia argentina enfrenta.
The fate of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes in the pulp of eight native Brazilian and exotic fruits
Silva, Beatriz S.; Amorim Neto, Dionisio P.; Pia, Arthur K.R.; Campagnollo, Fernanda B.; Furtado, Marianna M.; Carvalho, Ana Carolina B.R.; Oteiza, Juan Martín; Sant'Ana, Anderson de Souza
Despite the wide variety of native and exotic fruits in Brazil, there is limited understanding of their ability to support pathogens during storage. This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated into the pulp of eight fruits native and exotic to Brazil: Jenipapo (Genipa americana L.), Umbu (Spondias tuberosa Arruda), Mana ´ (Solanum sessiliflorum), Caja-manga ´ (Spondias dulcis), Physalis (Physalis angulata L.), Feijoa (Acca sellowiana), Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) (average pH < 3.3) and in a low acidy fruit: Abiu (Pouteria caimito) (pH 6.11). The pathogens were inoculated into the different fruits and stored at 10, 20, 30 and 37 ◦C for up to 12 h and 6 days, respectively. Among the fruits evaluated, Abiu was the only one that allowed Salmonella growth, showing higher δ-values at 20 and 30 ◦C (5.6 log CFU/g for both temperatures). For Physalis and Feijoa, there was a small reduction in the pathogen concentration (<1 log-cycle), mainly at 10 and 20 ◦C, indicating its ability to remain in the matrices. For the other fruits, notable negative δ-values were ob tained, indicating a tendency towards microbial inactivation. The survival potential was significantly affected by temperature in Abiu, Mana´, Cupuaçu, and Caja-manga ´ (p < 0.05). The same phenomena regarding δ-value were observed for L. monocytogenes population, with the greatest survival potential observed at 20 ◦C in Abiu (3.3 log CFU/g). Regarding the exponential growth rates in Abiu, the highest values were observed at 30 and 37 ◦C, both for Salmonella (4.6 and 4.9 log (CFU/g)/day, respectively) and for L. monocytogenes (2.8 and 2.7 log (CFU/g)/ day, respectively), with no significant difference between both temperatures. Regarding microbial inactivation, L. monocytogenes showed greater resistance than Salmonella in practically all matrices. Jenipapo and Umbu were the pulps that, in general, had the greatest effect on reducing the population of pathogens. Furthermore, the increase in storage temperature seems to favor the increase on inactivation rates. In conclusion, Salmonella and L. monocytogenes can grow only in Abiu pulp, although they can survive in some acidic tropical fruits kept at refrigeration and abusive temperatures.
Naturally Occurring Cholinesterase Inhibitors from Plants, Fungi, Algae, and Animals: A Review of the Most Effective Inhibitors Reported in 2012-2022
Murray, Ana Paula; Biscussi, Brunella; Cavallaro, Valeria; Donozo, Martina; Rodriguez, Silvana Andrea
Since the development of the “cholinergic hypothesis” as an important therapeutic approach in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the scientific community has made a remarkable effort to discover new and effective molecules with the ability to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The natural function of this enzyme is to catalyze the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. Thus, its inhibition increases the levels of this neurochemical and improves the cholinergic functions in patients with AD alleviating the symptoms of this neurological disorder. In recent years, attention has also been focused on the role of another enzyme, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), mainly in advanced stages of AD, transforming this enzyme into another target of interest in the search for new anticholinesterase agents.Over the past decades, Nature has proven to be a rich source of bioactive compounds relevant to the discovery of new molecules with potential application in AD therapy. Bioprospecting of new cholinesterase inhibitors among natural products has led to the discovery of an important number of new AChE and BChE inhibitors that became potential lead compounds for the development of anti-AD drugs. This review summarizes a total of 260 active compounds from 142 studies which correspond to the most relevant (IC50 ≤ 15 µM) research work published during 2012-2022 on plant-derived anticholinesterase compounds, as well as several potent inhibitors obtained from other sources like fungi, algae, and animals.
Usos y percepciones de las TIC: un estudio en personas mayores en Luján, Buenos Aires, desde el inicio del Covid-19; Uses and perceptions of ICTs: a study in older people in Luján, Buenos Aires since the beginning of Covid-19
Cuello, Fátima; Pochintesta, Paula Analía
La progresiva incursión de las TIC en la sociedad ha creado nuevas formas de interacción. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la percepción de las personas de 60 años y más sobre el uso de las nuevas tecnologías durante la pandemia Covid-19 en la localidad de Luján, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los resultados muestran que la pandemia dejó en evidencia la celeridad del avance de la tecnología y los consecuentes cambios en casi todas las prácticas de la vida cotidiana. Esta situación demandó una apropiación veloz sobre el uso de herramientas digitales sin contemplar las necesidades de las personas mayores.; The progressive incursion of ICTs into society has created new forms of interaction. The objective of this study was to analyze the perception of people aged 60 years and over about the use of new technologies during the Covid-19 pandemic in the town of Luján, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The results show that the pandemic showed the speed of the advance of technology and the consequent changes in almost all practices of daily life. This situation demanded a rapid appropriation of the use of digital tools without considering the needs of the elderly.
Comment on Agnolín et al. (2024): southernmost lepidosaur (Reptilia) assemblage from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia
Garberoglio, Fernando Fabio; Gómez, Raúl O.; Apesteguía, Sebastián
Agnolín et al. (2024) (Hereafter A24) report on a Late Cretaceous lepidosaur assemblage from southern Patagonia. The fossils described by A24 are noteworthy as they extend the record of lepidosaurs from southern Patagonia and as such deserve a detailed study. However, we find several issues in the descriptions and consider most of their taxonomic assignments to be unsupported by the data, which in turn makes their faunistic interpretations to be seriously flawed. Here, we would like to comment on some of the major inconsistencies and misstatements that we have found in the work of A24 in order to prevent wrong faunal lists and biogeographic considerations.
Highly effective inhalable voriconazole-loaded nanomicelles for fungal infections in cystic fibrosis patients: a promising therapeutic strategy for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
Briceño, Victor; Hermida Alava, Katherine Stefania; Bernabeu, Ezequiel Adrian; Fuentes, Pedro; Brito Devoto, Tomás; Höcht, Christian; Chiappetta, Diego Andrés; Cuestas, María Luján; Moretton, Marcela Analía
In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), growth of A. fumigatus and other fungal hyphae within the bronchial lumen can trigger an immunoglobulin E-mediated hypersensitivity response known as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) which can potentially advance to fibrosis. The management of ABPA involves the administration of systemic glucocorticoids alongside azole antifungals, such as voriconazole (VRC). This study evaluated the potential of Soluplus® polymeric micelles as an effective nanocarrier for pulmonary delivery of VRC to improve antifungal therapy in CF patients. The micellar nanoformulation prepared in this study could increase up to 51-fold the aqueous solubility of VRC. Their micellar size, evaluated by dynamic light scattering, was 102.2 ± 1.3 nm for loaded freeze-dried nanoformulations with a unimodal size distribution. Nanomicelles showed excellent colloidal stability during the in vitro nebulization process and under dilution in similar interstitial fluids for pulmonary VRC delivery. Nanoformulations demonstrated high in vitro cytocompatibility in A549 and Vero cells. Interestingly, in vitro antifungal activity of VRC-loaded micelles was at least 2-fold higher than the drug aqueous suspension against different fungal species isolated from CF sputum, regardless of the presence of artificial CF mucus layer. Following single intratracheal dose, significantly (p < 0.05) higher VRC concentrations were observed within 2 h in the lung tissue for the micellar formulations compared with the VRC suspension. We concluded that these findings will help to develop a potent and innovative inhalable VRC micellar nanoformulation that may be effective against different lung disorders caused by fungi, such as ABPA.
Enseñar y aprender Derechos Humanos en la universidad: ¿perciben los géneros de modo diferente esta experiencia educativa?; To teach and to learn Human Rights at university: do genders perceive this educational experience differently?
Naz, Natalia Gabriela
Este trabajo analiza una experiencia en particular de Educación en Derechos Humanos en el ámbito universitario: el “Seminario de Justicia y Derechos Humanos” de Universidad Nacional de Lanús, Buenos Aires, Argentina. El curso es obligatorio y transversal para estudiantes que cursan alguna carrera de grado y pregrado en dicha institución. El objetivo general de esta indagación consistió en conocer cómo experimentaron mujeres cis, varones cis1 y la comunidad LGBTIQ+2 este tipo de espacios formativos. El análisis se realizó desde la perspectiva de los3 participantes, especialmente del estudiantado, que es un enfoque fundamental y poco estudiado en este campo. La metodología utilizada fue mixta: se analizaron 1703 encuestas a estudiantes realizadas en el período 2017-2022 y tres entrevistas semiestructuradas a docentes durante el 2023. Entre los principales resultados, se observó que el grupo conformado por varones cis manifestó menor interés, en comparación a los otros grupos, en los temas de Género y en el hecho de que exista este tipo de educación obligatoria en el ámbito universitario. Además, se advirtió que los diversos grupos son interpelados de forma diferente, según el tema del que se trate. En último lugar, el artículo finaliza con algunas reflexiones en torno a las masculinidades en los procesos de Educación en Derechos Humanos en la universidad.; This paper analyses one particular experience of Human Rights Education at the university environment: the "Seminar on Justice and Human Rights" at the National University of Lanús, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The course is compulsory and cross-cutting for students taking undergraduate and undergraduate degree courses at that institution. The general objective of this research was to find out how cis women, cis men and the LGBTIQ+ community experienced this type of training spaces. The analysis was carried out from the perspective of the participants, especially the students, which is a fundamental and understudied approach in this field. The methodology used was mixed: both, 1703 student surveys conducted in the period 2017-2022 and three semistructured interviews with teachers during 2023, were analysed. Among the main results, it was observed that the cis-male group showed less interest in gender issues and in the fact that there is this type of compulsory education at the university environment, compared to the other groups. In addition, it was noted that the different groups are questioned differently, depending on the topic in question. Finally, the article ends with some reflections on masculinities in the processes of Human Rights Education at university.
Las Plantas del Paraguay Natural Ilustrado de Sánchez Labrador (S.J.): complejizando la identificación de los ycipo y otras “yerbas” relacionadas; The plants of the Paraguay natural ilustrado by Sánchez Labrador (s.j.): complexing the identification of ycipo and other related “yerbas”
Stampella, Pablo César; Cabanillas, Pablo Alejandro; Keller, Hector Alejandro; Pochettino, María Lelia
En los últimos años ha crecido el interés en el empleo de documentos jesuíticos en trabajos etnobotánicos referidos a la identificación de las plantas, entre otros aspectos. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las plantas presentes en el Libro V de la parte II del Paraguay Natural Ilustrado, presentar sus usos, y discutir los alcances del concepto de ycipo planteado por el autor en relación a los trabajos actuales y pasados. Además, se pretende resaltar el aporte de esta obra en el estudio de los documentos jesuíticos. Mediante la metodología etnobotánica histórica se analizó el libro V Ycipos, y otras plantas sarmentosas (39 fojas manuscritas y 11 ilustraciones) del manuscrito Paraguay Natural Ilustrado de José Sánchez Labrador (1772). Se relevaron 59 plantas (59 taxa botánicos), 28 identificados a nivel de especie, 20 a nivel genérico, 3 a nivel de familia y 8 que no pudieron ser identificados, todos ellos con usos documentados. El carácter detallado de las descripciones proveídas por Sánchez Labrador permitió identificar la mayoría de las plantas al nivel de especie o de grupo de especies, de las cuales más de la mitad del total constituyen novedades en la bibliografía jesuítica, permitiendo en algunos casos aclarar la identidad taxonómica de plantas de otras obras jesuíticas. En el caso del término ycipo, se plantea que el mismo presentó un sentido mucho más amplio y complejo que el que posee en la actualidad.; In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of Jesuit documents in ethnobotanical works related to plant identification, among other aspects. The aim of this paper is to identify the plants present in Book V of Part II of Paraguay Natural Ilustrado, to present their uses, and to discuss the scope of the concept of ycipo proposed by the author in relation to current and past works. In addition, it is intended to highlight the contribution of this work in the study of Jesuit documents. Using the historical ethnobotanical methodology, the book V Ycipos, y otras plantas sarmentosas (39 handwritten pages and 11 illustrations) of the manuscript Paraguay Natural Ilustrado by José Sánchez Labrador (1772) was analyzed. Fifty-nine plants (59 botanical taxa) were surveyed, 28 identified to species level, 20 to generic level, 3 to family level and 8 that could not be identified, all of them with documented uses. The detailed nature of the descriptions provided by Sánchez Labrador made it possible to identify most of the plants at the species or species group level, of which more than half of the total constitute novelties in the Jesuit bibliography, allowing in some cases to clarify the taxonomic identity of plants from other Jesuit works. In the case of the term ycipo, it is suggested that it had a much broader and more complex meaning than it has today
First report of blast disease on Oplismenopsis najada caused by Pyricularia oryzae in Argentina
Bastida, Lisandro Martín; Gutiérrez, Susana Alejandra; Bich, Gustavo Angel; Castrillo, María Lorena; Quiroga, Joaquín Augusto; Carmona, Marcelo Anibal; Cardozo Téllez, Lourdes; Chávez, Alice Rocío
In 2022, Pyricularia blast- like symptoms were observed in Oplismenopsis najada plants in Argentina. P. oryzae was identified based on its cultural and morphometric characteristics, nucleotidesequencingofITS1-5.8S-ITS2amplicons, complemented with phylogenetic analyses, and PCR with Pot2 marker. Koch´s postulates were confirmed on O. najada and the Guri INTA CL variety of Oryza sativa. The obtained sequences were deposited in GenBank (ITS: OR741772). The PCR reaction amplified the Pot2 marker, confirming that it is P. oryzae. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of O. najada as new host of P. oryzae worldwide.
Usos y sentidos del peculio en las colocaciones asistenciales de menores de edad: Provincia de Buenos Aires, comienzos del siglo XX; Uses and Meanings of Peculium in Care Placements for Minors: Province of Buenos Aires, Early 20th Century; Usos e significados do pecúlio em colocações de cuidados para menores: Provincia de Buenos Aires, início do século XX
de Paz Trueba, Yolanda Edith
Este artículo busca brindar un panorama complejo de los mundos laborales de las infancias, atendiendo a las colocaciones asistenciales en casas de familia y comercios. Con las herramientas que brinda la historia social del trabajo, proponemos un acercamiento a la manera en que el dinero y otras formas de pago atravesaron estas relaciones, y a los sentidos que le dieron quienes formaron parte de ese vínculo. Estas formas de trabajo y las diversas maneras de remunerarlas, persistieron en paralelo con el avance de cierta mercantilización del mundo laboral doméstico formal contratado en el mercado libremente e, incluso, con los intentos de regular el trabajo de menores de edad.; This article seeks to provide a complex overview of the work of children, focusing on care placements in family homes and businesses. Drawing on the tools provided by the social history of work, it proposes an approach to the way in which money and other forms of payment went through these relationships, and to the meanings given to them by those who were part of that link. These forms of work and the various ways of remunerating them persisted in parallel with the advance of a certain commodification of the world of formal domestic work freely contracted in the market and even with attempts to regulate the work of minors.; Este artigo procura fornecer uma visão complexa do mundo do trabalho na infância, com foco nas colocações de cuidados em residências familiares e empresas. Com as ferramentas fornecidas pela história social do trabalho, propomos uma abordagem à forma como o dinheiro e outras formas de pagamento passaram por essas relações e aos significados que lhes foram atribuídos por aqueles que fizeram parte desse vínculo. Estas formas de trabalho e as diversas formas de remunerá-las persistiram paralelamente ao avanço de uma certa mercantilização do mundo do trabalho doméstico formal livremente contratado no mercado e até às tentativas de regulamentação do trabalho de menores.
Developmental instability and body condition in rodents: Industrialized agriculture disturbances in anthromes from central Argentina
Martini, Gastón Andrés; Priotto, Jose Waldemar; Serafini, Vanesa Natalia; Coda, José Antonio
Among human activities agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide in recent decades. The effects of agricultural intensification on vertebrate populations may vary depending on their habitat requirements. The effect of environmental and/or genetic stress on populations can be assessed using fluctuating asymmetry and body condition of animals. We implemented both linear and geometric morphometric methods to assess the influence of agricultural intensification on three native rodent species. For this, we evaluated different stress indicators on skulls and mandibles (fluctuating asymmetry, centroid size and scaled mass index) of three species of small mammals at borders of rural roads in agroecosystems in central Argentina. We explored the impact of intensification using variables at different scales: landscape level, assessing complexity through functional and structural heterogeneity; and local level, through vegetal volume of the border. We found species-specific responses, where the most sensitive species was Calomys venustus, which showed individuals with lower developmental stability and body condition in simple landscapes and low-quality habitats. Akodon azarae responded in an intermediate manner to both size and mass index indicators, while the species Calomys musculinus was the least affected, with changes only in body condition observed, with larger individuals in more complex landscapes. Our results suggest that the impact of agricultural intensification on small mammals varies according to their habitat requirements and the landscape heterogeneity. This study shows the importance of considering both local and landscape variables to propose management measures for biodiversity conservation in cropland anthromes.
