Arturo A. Roig: a cien años de su nacimiento

Arturo A. Roig: a cien años de su nacimiento Contardi, Laura Aldana; Olalla, Marcos Javier Arturo Andrés Roig nació el 16 de julio de 1922 y falleció el 30 de abril de 2012 en Mendoza (Argentina). Cursó estudios de Filosofía en la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo y egresó de la misma en 1949. Obtuvo en 1953 una beca para realizar en Francia estudios sobre filosofía antigua con el profesor Pierre-Maxime Schuhl, estancia de estudios que duró dos años. A su regreso, su labor se concentró en la profundización de los estudios platónicos, tarea que abarcaría más de diez años. Se abocó a la reconstrucción de la historia cultural de su provincia natal y a la investigación de la presencia del krausismo y del espiritualismo en el Río de la Plata. Fue docente de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras desde 1959 hasta 1975, momento en que se vio obligado, junto a su familia, a exiliarse y dejar la cátedra por la persecución política ocurrida durante el gobierno de María Estela de Perón y la gestión del ministro de Educación Oscar Ivanissevich. Entre 1973 y 1974 ocupó el cargo de secretario académico de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, gestión en la que impulsó transformaciones en la organización de los saberes en la universidad y particularmente en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, en el marco de una pedagogía participativa alentada por ideales democráticos. En su exilio residió un breve tiempo en México y luego en el Ecuador, país en el que vivió hasta su regreso a la Argentina en 1984. Durante esos años dedicó sus estudios al rescate de la historia del pensamiento social y filosófico del Ecuador, fundó y dirigió el Instituto de Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. El gobierno ecuatoriano le otorgó la condecoración al mérito cultural en 1983. Ya en Mendoza fue restituido por orden judicial en su cargo universitario, del que se jubiló en 1985, e incorporado en el Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) como Investigador Principal y como Director general del Centro Regional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas de Mendoza (CRICYT), dependiente del CONICET. Unos años después fue director fundador del Instituto de Ciencias Humanas, Sociales y Ambientales (INCIHUSA).

Prediabetes is more than a pre-disease: additional evidences supporting the importance of its early diagnosis and appropriate treatment

Prediabetes is more than a pre-disease: additional evidences supporting the importance of its early diagnosis and appropriate treatment Elgart, Jorge Federico; Torrieri, Rocio; Ré, Matias Alberto; Salazar, Martin; Espeche, Walter; Angelini, Julieta Maria; Martinez, Camilo; Martinez, Jorge Guillermo; Giampieri, Cecilia; Etchegoyen, Graciela Susana; Ricart, Juan Pablo Antonio; Rodriguez, María Elvira; Gagliardino, Juan Jose Aim: To identify Prediabetes (PreD) as early and serious diabetes step using clinical-biochemical characteristics in the population of the Primary Prevention Diabetes Buenos Aires (PPDBA) study. Methods: PPDBA Study evaluated benefits of adopting healthy lifestyles to prevent T2D. It recruited people 45–75 years of age with PreD (impaired fasting glycaemia [IFG], impaired glucose tolerance [IGT] or both, American Diabetes Association criteria), using an opportunistic approach. They completed a FINDRISC questionnaire, and those with a score ≥13 points were invited to participate. When they accepted, we performed an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with a complete lipid profile and HbA1c while physicians completed a clinical history. We recruited 367 persons, and depending on OGTT results, the sample was divided into normals (NGT), PreD, or with diabetes (last one was excluded in our analysis). Data were statistically analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests and logistic regression to identify parameters associated with PreD. Results: From the recruited (n = 367) 47.7% have NGT, 48.5% PreD and 3.8% unknown T2D (excluded). People with PreD were significantly older, with a higher percentage of overweight/obesity, BMI, and larger waist circumference than NGT. They also showed significantly higher fasting and 2 h post glucose load, HbA1c, and triglyceride levels. No significant differences were recorded in the blood pressure, lipid profile though both groups had abnormally high LDL-c values. They also had a larger percentage of TG/HDL-c ratios (insulin resistance indicator) (55% vs. 37.5%). Logistic regression analysis showed that PreD was significant associated with age, waist circumference, and triglyceride above target values. Conclusion: Our findings showed that clinical and biochemical parameters were significantly different between people with PreD and those with NGT. This evidence supports the concept that PreD is a serious dysfunction, which should be early diagnosed and treated properly to prevent its transition to T2D and its complications.

Corrosion protection properties of polypyrrole coatings formed onto 316 L SS from a solution containing molybdate and salicylate

Corrosion protection properties of polypyrrole coatings formed onto 316 L SS from a solution containing molybdate and salicylate Ramos, Camila; González, María Belén; Brugnoni, Lorena Inés; Saidman, Silvana Beatriz The electrosynthesis of PPy films onto 316L stainless steel fromnearly neutral and alkaline solutions containing molybdate and salicylate isreported. The corrosion behaviour of the coatings constituted by hollow rectangularmicrotubes was monitored in Ringer solution using open circuit potentialmeasurements, polarization techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The polymer formed in a solution of pH 8 was the most efficient interms of corrosion protection. The coating significantly reduced the pitting corrosionof the substrate. The results were interpreted taking into considerationthe polymer electroactivity, the galvanic interaction polypyrrole/substrate andthe nature of dopants. Silver species were effectively immobilized onto the hollowrectangular-sectioned microtubes of PPy. The modified coatings demonstratedthat they have a good bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli andthey were also able to protect the substrate against corrosion in Ringer solution.

Molecular detection and parasite load of Trypanosoma cruzi in digestive tract tissue of Chagas disease patients affected by megacolon

Molecular detection and parasite load of Trypanosoma cruzi in digestive tract tissue of Chagas disease patients affected by megacolon Pinto, Lilian; Schijman, Alejandro Gabriel; Alonso Padilla, Julio; Lozano, Daniel; Cruz Torrico, Mary; Gamba, Pietro; Torrez, Margarita; Lozada, Vania; Cartagena, Karina; Sanchez, Jareth; Torrico, Faustino; Gascon, Joaquim Chagas disease, caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite in the Americas affects ∼ 7 million people, 30% with cardiac tissue damage and 10-15% with digestive disorders. In this study, we have developed a protocol to detect the presence of the parasite and estimate its load in resected dysfunctional tissue segments of chronically infected patients with digestive megacolon. We have included samples from 43 individuals, 38/5 with positive/negative serology for Chagas disease and digestive syndromes. Samples of 1.5 to 2.0 cm2 were taken from different points of the dysfunctional digestive tract in specialized centres in Cochabamba, Bolivia. T. cruzi cultures were performed by inoculation with NNN-LIT culture medium, and genomic material was obtained from the samples for multiplex qPCR with TaqMan probes targeting satellite nuclear DNA. Cultures failed to isolate T. cruzi but qPCR reached a sensitivity of 42.1% (16/38) with all three spots and in triplicate. A new quantification methodology using synthetic satellite DNA as quantitation standard revealed parasite loads ranging from 2.2 × 102 to 1.0 × 106 satellite DNA copies/μl. Positive samples from the distal end showed a higher parasite load. The results of the present study strengthen and add further evidence to previous findings in an experimental mouse model of chronic T. cruzi infection, providing a valuable tool to improve scientific knowledge on the relevance of the digestive tract in parasite persistence, and underline the need of a better understanding of host-pathogen interaction in digestive tissues, considering pathophysiology, disease immunology and response to treatment.

Between Hegel and Hawking - Kierkegaard: Contribution to Epistemology

Between Hegel and Hawking - Kierkegaard: Contribution to Epistemology Binetti, María José; Máhrik, Tibor; Kobylarek, Aleksander; Zimny, Jan; Vladilenovna Telezhko, Irina Background: This presented study focuses on the issue of the possibilities and limits of humanrationality in the theory of knowledge from the perspective of Søren Kierkegaard. His opposition to the Hegelian rationalism of his time anticipates similar opposition to the strict naturalismof this time represented by Stephen Hawking. Kierkegaard‘s perspective of understanding thebasic categories of human existence form an intricate texture consisting of more central andmore peripheral beliefs, mutually supporting each other, while referring to such concepts in theirfundamental philosophical positions.In the study, we present Kierkegaard‘s relevant starting points and arguments with which headdresses the problem of a hyper-rationalistic approach to life, regardless of whether it is a metaphysical ambition or an existential understanding of life.Conclusion: We argue here that Kierkegaard‘s concept of existential passion, directed in thehope of an infinite future, provides not only the necessary framework for finding answers to contemporary epistemological challenges, especially in the field of the humanities, but also a goodprotection against the trap of idealism and strict naturalism.

Literaturas y derechas: Historizar los conceptos, ampliar los archivos

Literaturas y derechas: Historizar los conceptos, ampliar los archivos Sverdloff, Mariano Javier Analizar a las plurales “literaturas de las derechas” supone dialogar con diversas metodologías y tipos de corpus. Esta diversidad de discursos críticos y archivos implica ir más allá de la close reading de las obras canónicas. Por tanto, al momento de pensar la articulación del clivaje derecha-izquierda con la literatura, la crítica literaria se enfrenta con una doble exigencia: por un lado, debe historizar las diversas perspectivas críticas del siglo XX y XXI sobre las “literaturas de las derechas”; por el otro, debe ampliar los archivos para incluir textos no literarios.; Analyzing differents “right-wing literatures” supposes a dialogue with various methodologies and types of corpus. This diversity of critical discourses and archives implies going beyond close reading of canonical works. Therefore, when thinking about the articulation between the right-left cleavage and literature, literary criticism is faced with a double requirement: on the one hand, to historicize the various critical perspectives of the 20th and 21st centuries on “right-wing literatures”; on the other, to expand the archives and to include non-literary texts.

Wave separation analysis-derived indexes obtained from radial and carotid tonometry in healthy pregnancy and pregnancy-associated hypertension: Comparison with pulse wave analysis-derived indexes

Wave separation analysis-derived indexes obtained from radial and carotid tonometry in healthy pregnancy and pregnancy-associated hypertension: Comparison with pulse wave analysis-derived indexes Pereira, María M.; Torrado, Juan; Bock, Joshua; Sosa, Claudio; Diaz, Alberto Alejandro; Bia, Daniel; Zócalo, Yanina Background: Increased wave reflections assessed by pulse wave analysis (PWA) was proposed as one of the potential culprits of hypertension seen in women with pregnancy-associated hypertension (PAH). However, this statement has never been confirmed with “Wave Separation Analysis” (WSA), a more sophisticated mathematical approach that analyzes the amplitude and interaction between forward and backward aortic pressure waveform components. Objective: To characterize potential changes in pressure wave components of PAH compared to healthy non-pregnant (NP) women and women with normal pregnancies (HP) by using WSA and compared these findings with PWA-derived indexes; secondarily, to evaluate differences in WSA-derived indexes between subgroups of PAH (i.e., preeclampsia [PE] and gestational hypertension [GH]). Methods: Using radial and carotid applanation tonometry, we quantified in HP (n = 10), PAH (n = 16), and NP (n = 401): (i) PWA-derived indexes; (ii) WSA-derived indexes: forward (Pf) and backward (Pb) waveform components, backward component arrival time (PbAT), reflection magnitude (RM = Pb/Pf) and index [RIx = Pb/(Pf + Pb)]. Results: While PAH was associated with a higher Pf compared to HP and NP, Pb and PbAT were similar between the groups. Both GH and PE showed a higher Pf compared to HP, but only PE had a trend of presenting with higher Pb and lower PbAT compared to the other groups. Finally, PAH showed a trend of having lower RM and RIx compared to NP and HP, with no differences between GH and PE. Conclusion: PAH was associated with higher Pf, but not higher Pb, compared to NP and HP, although PE also demonstrated a trend of higher Pb.

Criar la sal: Relaciones de intercambio vital en la extracción tradicional de panes de sal en Salinas Grandes

Criar la sal: Relaciones de intercambio vital en la extracción tradicional de panes de sal en Salinas Grandes; Nurturing the salt: Relations of vital reciprocity in traditional salt extraction in Salinas Grandes Miranda Pérez, José María En este artículo realizo una descripción analítica del trabajo diario de los salineros de la comunidad aborigen de San Miguel de Colorados, en el Noroeste argentino. Mi intención es explorar cómo sus prácticas de extracción suponen un flujo de relaciones con un espacio vivo, que se manifiestan a través del intercambio cotidiano de energía, afectos y sustancias. Estos intercambios, tienen un doble efecto en el trabajo con la sal: evitar las enfermedades que algunos seres del entorno pueden provocar a los salineros al sentirse amenazados; e incentivar la producción del mineral a través de la transferencia de fuerza y suerte. En la zona comentada, la extracción de panes de sal, al igual que otras actividades que se desarrollan en (y con) el paisaje, se organiza según una ontología local que afirma que todas las cosas de la tierra están vivas e interrelacionadas. En resonancia con otras investigaciones de la Puna argentina y los Andes, mi objetivo es presentar un concepto etnográfico de producción que se define por la inseparabilidad de los asuntos del cosmos de las controversias de la ética y la política, así como de las necesidades económicas y materiales de los procesos vitales y afectivos del mundo.; In this article I will describe and analyze the work of the salt workers of the aboriginal community of San Miguel de Colorados, in the argentine Northwest. My intention is to explore how their extraction practices involve a constant flow of relations with a living space, manifested through the daily trade of energy, affects and substances. These exchanges have a double effect in the work with salt: to avoid the diseases that some beings of the environment can cause when they feel threatened, and to stimulate the production of the mineral through the transfer of fuerza and suerte. In the commented area, the salt extraction, like other activities that take place in (and with) the landscape, is organized according to a local ontology that affirms that all things on earth are alive and interrelated. In resonance with other researchs of the argentinian Puna and the Andes, my objective is to present an ethnographic concept of production that is defined by the inseparability of the issues of the cosmos from the controversies of ethics and politics, as well as the economic and material needs of the vital and affective processes of the world.

Based on a narrative review of the scientific literature, a brief analysis of the new term is made, specifying the conceptual definition, characteristic symptoms, the various implications for people’s health, and the responses to specific care measures that have been implemented. It concludes with a wake-up call to the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean in order for care and surveillance to be provided to this public health problem.

Semiclassical strong-field theory of phase delays in ω-2ω above-threshold ionization

Semiclassical strong-field theory of phase delays in ω-2ω above-threshold ionization Arbo, Diego; López, Sebastián David; Burgdörfer, Joachim Phase and time delays of atomic above-threshold ionization were recently experimentally explored in an ω-2ω setting [Zipp, Optica 1, 361 (2014)2334-253610.1364/OPTICA.1.000361]. The phases of wave packets ejected from argon by a strong 2ω pulse were probed as a function of the relative phase of a weaker ω probe pulse. Numerical simulations solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) displayed a sensitive dependence of the doubly differential momentum distribution on the relative phase between the ω and 2ω fields. Moreover, a surprisingly strong variation of the extracted phase delays on the intensity of the probe pulse was found. We present a semiclassical strong-field description of the phase delays in the emission of electrons in an ω-2ω setting and apply it to atomic hydrogen. Nonperturbative effects in both the 2ω pump and the ω probe field are included. The semiclassical description allows tracing phase delays to path interferences between emission during different points in time of emission within the temporal unit cell of the two-color laser field. We find good agreement between the semiclassical saddle-point approximation, the full strong-field approximation (SFA), and previous results applicable in the perturbative limit of probe fields. We show that the RABBIT-like perturbative description of phase delays breaks down for stronger fields and higher-energy electron emission. In this regime, characterization of the ionization signal requires an entire ensemble of phase delays δi(E) with i=1,2,... the difference in photon numbers of the strong 2ω field involved in the interfering paths. Comparison between SFA and TDSE calculations reveals the influence of the Coulomb field even in this strong-field scenario.

La participación de maestros en la recopilación de tradiciones y saberes populares: La Encuesta Nacional de Folklore de Argentina, 1921

La participación de maestros en la recopilación de tradiciones y saberes populares: La Encuesta Nacional de Folklore de Argentina, 1921 Arias, Ana Carolina Este trabajo analiza el papel de los maestros en la recopilación de información sobre tradiciones y saberes populares en el marco de la Encuesta Nacional de Folklore de 1921. Esta fue impulsada por el Consejo Nacional de Educación e implementado a través de las llamadas Escuelas Láinez. En particular, se examinan las instrucciones y los registros producidos a partir de esta Encuesta, lo que permite observar de qué forma el sistema educativo nacional constituyó un espacio para reunir información a gran escala desde las localidades más remotas del país, movilizando cantidades significativas de colaboradores distribuidos en distintas regiones. Como se intenta mostrar en este trabajo, los maestros cumplieron un papel fundamental en el acopio y organización de datos en los lugares donde trabajaban, participando en redes de intercambio y provisión de información a nivel nacional. Esto, además, permite tener en cuenta otra faceta de las actividades de los docentes, más allá del trabajo áulico.; This paper analyses the role of teachers in the collection of information on folk traditions and knowledge in the framework of the National Folklore Survey of 1921. This was promoted by the National Council of Education and implemented through the socalled Láinez Schools. In particular, the instructions and records produced from this survey are discussed. This allows us to observe how the national education system constituted a space for gathering information on a large scale and from the most remote localities of the country, mobilizing significant numbers of collaborators distributed in different regions. As this paper attempts to show, teachers played a fundamental role in collecting and organizing data in the places where they worked, participating in networks of exchange, and providing information at the national level. This also allows us to take into account another facet of teachers' activities, beyond classroom work.

Anatomy of the floral nectaries of selected species of Gardenieae (Rubiaceae)

Anatomy of the floral nectaries of selected species of Gardenieae (Rubiaceae) Judkevich, Marina Daniela; Salas, Roberto Manuel; González, Ana María Rubiaceae is one of the five most species-rich families of Angiosperm, its flowers are characterized by a nectariferous disc surrounding the base of the style; however, there are almost no studies on anatomy of these structures in the family. The aim of this study was to describe for the first time the anatomy of the floral nectaries in the tribe Gardenieae (Rubiaceae). Flowers from Cordiera concolor, Genipa americana, Randia calycina, Randia ferox, Randia heteromera, Randia micracantha, and Tocoyena formosa were collected, photographed, and processed using conventional techniques for observation with optical and scanning electron microscopies. In all species the nectary is differentiated histologically into epidermis, nectary and sub-nectary parenchyma, and vascular bundles. Nectar is exuded via nectarostomata. The nectaries have reproductive function, and are structural and mesenchymal during the floral stage. Whereas after corolla has fallen they are persistent nectaries, with post-floral secretion and extranuptial function. In addition, floral visitors that appeared on open flowers and after corolla fall were recorded.; Rubiaceae é uma das cinco famílias mais ricas em espécies de Angiospermas, suas flores são caracterizadas por um disco nectarífero ao redor do estilete. No entanto, quase não há estudos sobre a anatomia destas estruturas na família. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever pela primeira vez a anatomia dos nectários na tribo Gardenieae (Rubiaceae). Flores de Cordiera concolor, Genipa americana, Randia calycina, Randia ferox, Randia heteromera, Randia micracantha e Tocoyena formosa foram coletadas, fotografadas e fixadas. Os nectários foram processados utilizando técnicas convencionais de observação em microscopia óptica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Em todas as flores o nectário é histologicamente diferenciado em epiderme, parênquima nectarífero, parênquima subnectarífero e traços vasculares. O néctar é exsudado através de estômatos. Os nectários tem função reprodutiva e são estruturados e mesenquimais na fase floral. Após a queda da corola são nectários persistentes com secreção pós-floral e função extranupcial. Também foram registados os visitantes florais que apareceram em flores abertas e após a queda da corola.

Cingulata (Mammalia, Xenarthra) from the type fauna of the “Friasian” South American Land-Mammal age, Alto Río Cisnes (Río Frías Formation, Burdigalian-Langhian Age, Miocene), Chile

Cingulata (Mammalia, Xenarthra) from the type fauna of the “Friasian” South American Land-Mammal age, Alto Río Cisnes (Río Frías Formation, Burdigalian-Langhian Age, Miocene), Chile Gonzalez Ruiz, Laureano Raul Cingulates (“armadillos and glyptodonts”), is a group of xenarthran mammals characterized mainly by the presence of an armor of articulated osteoderms which are usually used for systematic recognition, and which are found in most fossiliferous localities of South, Central and southern North America since the Eocene. The aim of this contribution is to describe the cingulates (“armadillos and glyptodonts”) from Roth's collection that have been previously mentioned, which have been remain unpublished for more than 100 years, and are part of the collection that was used for the recognition of the formerly “Etage Friaséen” of the Miocene of South America. The cingulate osteoderms described herein are assigned to 1) Vetelia puncta (MLP 16–171, MLP 16–172, MLP 16–174) given the osteoderms's foramina in the sulcus that delimits the longitudinal central figure, and at the lateral margins of the osteoderm; 2) Proeutatus cf. deleo (MLP 16–171, MLP 16–172, MLP 16–174) given that the osteoderms have no evident keel, and no foramina on the exposed surface; and 3) Eucinepeltus cf. petesatus (MLP 16–171, MLP 16–172, MLP 16–173) given that the osteoderms of the cephalic shield have no figures on the exposed surface. After the revision of the Roth collection and the literature, the association of cingulates from all fossil localities and fossil levels of Río Cisnes Formation at Alto Río Cisnes (Chile) includes the armadillos Peltephilidae (a potential new taxon), Stegotherium caroloameghinoi, Prozaedyus sp., Vetelia puncta, Proeutatus cf. deleo, Proeutatus sp., and the glyptodonts Propalaehoplophorinae gen. et sp. indet., and Eucinepeltus cf. petesatus.

Career decision self-efficacy Item Bank: A Simulation study

Career decision self-efficacy Item Bank: A Simulation study Azpilicueta, Ana Estefanía; Cupani, Marcos; Ghio, Fernanda Belén; Moran, Valeria Estefania; Garrido, Sebastian Jesús; Bruzzone, Manuel The transformation of the current world of work, determined by technological advances, affects and challenges the career decision-making process. To face these changes, the career self-management model, derived from social cognitive career theory, offers an optimal framework that allows studying the career adaptive behaviors that favor the preparation for career decision-making. In order to obtain a measure for the core construct, career decision-making self-efficacy, we elaborated an item bank from the selection of reagents from two scales widely used in the field for its estimation. Item analysis was performed from the item response theory. The results evidenced the unidimensionality of the item pool, with difficulty indexes and ability levels covering most of the measured continuum. As regard reliability indexes (persons and items), we observed that the allocation of persons and items might be reproduced in a predictable way. Global fit of items was suitable in most of them. We also performed two analyses of the evidence of the validity of the scores obtained through the Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy-Item Bank. We carried out a simulation study to determine the real level of ability of the subjects, providing information on the quality of the item bank developed to accurately assess career decision self-efficacy. Thus, we conducted a concurrent validity evidence study to establish test-criterion relationships between career decision self-efficacy and the more significant outcome variables of the career decision-making process: career decision, career indecision, and decisional anxiety. In summary, we developed, calibrated, and validated the first item bank to estimate the central construct of the career decision-making process, which is the first step to develop a Computerized Adaptive Test. Based on this technology, personalized evaluations of specific skills or traits such as career decision self-efficacy can be obtained and incorporated into computer-assisted career guidance systems.

The Jewish Youth in times of political radicalization

The Jewish Youth in times of political radicalization Kahan, Emmanuel Nicolas Although the Six-Day War in June 1967 was neither the first nor the most relevant violent outbreak in the Arab-Israeli conflict, it was extensively treated in Argentine public debates and widely analyzed as an exceptional event. As different works on Jewish life in Argentina have shown, the country’s Jewish presence during the first half of the twentieth century was primarily challenged by right-wing nationalist organizations. This situation changed during the 1960s and especially after the June War. In its aftermath, the debates began circling around the legitimacy of the State of Israel and Zionism and a growing number of the discussions’ participants belonged to different sections of the national left. This article aims to reveal how these years were perceived by some of Argentina’s most outstanding intellectuals – Abelardo Castillo, José Itzigsohn, Emilio Troise, León Perez, Pedro Orgambide, Horacio Verbitsky, Alfredo Varela, and León Rozitchner – and how they developed their dissimilar views on the State of Israel. It also intends to show how a spatially distant war served to formulate their positions on international politics as well as to situate themselves in the local political agenda. Finally, the article seeks to sharpen the understanding of the tensions this outbreak in the Arab-Israeli conflict generated between the organizations of the national left and the different protagonists of Jewish life in Argentina.

Perseguidos y colaboradores en la Inquisición del Paraguay: Los jesuitas Manuel Ortega y Francisco de Angulo (1597- 1606)

Perseguidos y colaboradores en la Inquisición del Paraguay: Los jesuitas Manuel Ortega y Francisco de Angulo (1597- 1606); Persecuted and collaborators in the Paraguayan Inquisition: The Jesuits Manuel Ortega and Francisco de Angulo (1597-1606) Page, Carlos Alberto Nos proponemos examinar las relaciones de los jesuitas del Paraguay con la Inquisición, a partir de dos casos concretos que se dieron en la fase previa a la creación de esta provincia jesuítica. Los protagonistas son los PP. Manuel Ortega y Francisco de Angulo. El primero, perteneciente a la primera tríade que llegó a la región del Guayrá, fue acusado de solicitación y el otro mencionado, como primer superior de la misión del Tucumán, fue designado comisario del Santo Oficio. Analizamos los hechos y acciones en las que intervinieron, como a su vez las causales de acercamiento entre las instituciones, para interrogarnos sobre la existencia de un correlato de hechos que no eran ajenos a sus respectivos centros de dependencia, pero con los matices propios americanos.; The aim of this article is to examine the relations of the Jesuits of Paraguay with the Inquisition, based on two specific cases that occurred in the phase prior to the creation of this Jesuit province. The protagonists are Fathers Manuel Ortega and Francisco de Angulo. The first, belonging to the first triad that arrived in the Guayrá region, was accused of solicitation and the other, as the first superior of the mission of Tucumán, was appointed commissioner of the Holy Office. We analyse the events and actions in which they took part, as well as the causes of the rapprochement between the institutions, in order to question the existence of a correlation of events which were not alien to their respective centres of dependence, but with their own American nuances.

Helminth community in the Llanos frog, Lepidobatrachus llanensis (Ceratophryidae), from the Dry Chaco

Helminth community in the Llanos frog, Lepidobatrachus llanensis (Ceratophryidae), from the Dry Chaco Hamann, Mónika Inés; Gonzalez, Cynthya Elizabeth; Duré Pitteri, Marta Inés; Palomas Alaniz, Yanina Soledad The present study predicts that helminth community diversity and parasite transmission are influenced by host behavior and its habitat. This prediction was tested by analyzing for the first time the helminth community of Lepidobatrachus llanensis, an aquatic species that inhabits exclusively ephemeral water bodies in the Dry Chaco ecoregion. In the drought periods, L. llanensis burrows underground and forms a cocoon to minimize water loss, emerging again in the rainy season (e.g., in summer months). A total of 21 frogs was examined for parasites. Parasite community structure was analyzed using helminth parasite richness, diversity, and abundance. The helminth community of this frog consisted of 17 species, composed mostly of platyhelminth species (76%), followed by nematodes (24%). Ophiotaenia sp. was most prevalent (71%, confidence interval [CI]: 51.4–90.6%), followed by Choledocystus elegans (57%, CI: 35.8–78.2%). Infected frogs harbored a maximum of seven helminth species. At the infracommunity level, the mean species richness was 4.24 ± 1.79 per infected frog. Parasites were found in all major organs, with highest prevalence in the body cavity. Helminth species showed a typical aggregated pattern of distribution with unequal abundances. Parasite transmission to the frog host occurs by oral ingestion and skin penetration. As predicted, we found that the composition of the parasite community of this aquatic frog included multiple helminths, including parasitic species characteristic of both aquatic and terrestrial life cycles, with greater occurrence of trematodes that likely benefit from seasonal host aggregation during the rainy period associated with their reproductive strategies and by environmental factors such as seasonal dwelling in dry soil. This behavior in an otherwise aquatic frog enables infections by nematodes (L3) with a terrestrial life cycle absent from other aquatic frogs from South America.

Acerca del Término Queer y sus Derivas Latinoamericanas: Contra el Relato Norte-Sur y la Supuesta Importación Teórica

Acerca del Término Queer y sus Derivas Latinoamericanas: Contra el Relato Norte-Sur y la Supuesta Importación Teórica; Sobre o termo queer e seus desvios latino-americanos: contra a história norte-sul e a suposta importação teórica; About the term queer and its latin american drifts: against the north-south narrative and the alleged theoretical importation Saxe, Facundo Nazareno Resumen:Este artículo se interroga sobre los usos, traducciones y reapropiaciones del término queer en diálogo con la teoría queer. A partir de las apariciones del término en otros espacios geopolíticos y el debate sobre sus posibilidades en ámbitos hispanohablantes, se recorrerán diferentes versiones de lo queer así como otras modalidades situadas (cuir-kuir) con el fin de poner en tensión la supuesta direccionalidad Norte-Sur para el denominado “pensamiento queer”. Las diferentes versiones de lo queer en su contexto de aparición (Estados Unidos) también ponen en tensión la idea de una versión única, cerrada y coherente de lo queer y la queer theory. En ese sentido, la idea de “importación” de lo queer entraría en crisis cuando se piensan las apariciones sexo-subversivas en otros espacios geopolíticos por fuera del nodo queer estadounidense. Asimismo, se retoma la idea de lo queer en diálogo y disputa con la categoría disidencias sexuales, de forma tal que se lleve adelante una propuesta teórica para re-pensar la supuesta traducción/intraducibilidad de lo queer y sus efectos y retroalimentaciones en contextos situados en Latinoamérica.Resumo:Este artigo questiona os usos, traduções e reapropriações do termo queer em diálogo com a teoria queer. A partir do surgimento do termo em outros espaços geopolíticos e do debate sobre suas possibilidades nas áreas de língua espanhola, serão discutidas diferentes versões do queer e de outras modalidades situadas (cuir-kuir) para colocar em tensão a suposta direcionalidade Norte-Sul para o assim chamado "pensamento queer". As diferentes versões de queer em seu contexto de aparecimento (Estados Unidos) também colocam em tensão a ideia de uma versão única, fechada e coerente do queer e da teoria queer. Nesse sentido, a ideia de “importar” o queer entraria em crise quando fossem consideradas as aparições sexo-subversivas em outros espaços geopolíticos fora do nó queer americano. Da mesma forma, retoma-se a ideia do queer em diálogo e disputa com a categoria da dissidência sexual, de modo que se realiza uma proposta teórica para repensar a suposta tradução/intraduzibilidade do queer e seus efeitos e feedbacks em contextos localizados na América Latina.; Este artigo questiona os usos, traduções e reapropriações do termo queer em diálogo com a teoria queer.

Da mesma forma, retoma-se a ideia do queer em diálogo e disputa com a categoria da dissidência sexual, de modo que se realiza uma proposta teórica para repensar a suposta tradução/intraduzibilidade do queer e seus efeitos e feedbacks em contextos localizados na América Latina.; This article examines the uses, translations and re-appropriations of the term queer in dialogue with queer theory. Given the occurrences of the term in other geopolitical spaces and the debate about its possibilities in Spanish-speaking areas, different versions of “queer” as well as other situated modalities (cuir-kuir) will be explored in order to question the alleged north-south directionality for the so-called “queer thought”. The different versions of queer in its context of emergence (United States) also question the idea of a single, self-contained and coherent version of queer and queer theory. In this sense, the idea of "importation" of queer would goes into crisis when thinking about sex-subversive appearances in other geopolitical spaces outside of the U.S. queer node. Likewise, the idea of queer in dialogue and dispute with the category of sexual dissidence is taken up again, to put forward a theoretical proposal for rethinking the transability/untranslatability of “queer” and its effects and feedbacks in situated contexts in Latin America.

No hay inclusión sin territorialidad Políticas culturales y transformación social en el teatro comunitario Cruzavías (2004-2022)

No hay inclusión sin territorialidad Políticas culturales y transformación social en el teatro comunitario Cruzavías (2004-2022); There is no inclusion without territoriality. Cultural policies and social transformation in the Cruzavias community theater (2004- 2022); Não existe inclusão sem territorialidade. Políticas culturais e transformação social no teatro comunitário Cruzavias (2004-2022) Fernandez, Clarisa Ines El presente artículo reflexiona en torno a la articulación de las políticas culturales y los proyectos artísticos de inclusión social en la provincia de Buenos Aires. Se toma como caso al grupo de teatro comunitario Cruzavías, del partido de Nueve de Julio, buscando indagar las modalidades de articulación entre el grupo y el Estado a partir de políticas culturales y sociales concretas, que permitieron, por un lado, y limitaron, por el otro, el desarrollo de actividades y la exploración de otras áreas de la vida social a través del arte. A partir de un acercamiento etnográfico al objeto, proponemos un análisis históricamente situado y teóricamente transdisciplinario, en el que se releven procesos vinculados a las políticas culturales de la región y transformaciones subjetivas de los participantes. Buscamos así aportar tanto al campo de estudios de las políticas culturales como a las perspectivas que analizan procesos de arte, inclusión y transformación social.; This article reflects on the articulation of cultural policies and artistic projects for social inclusion in the province of Buenos Aires. The Cruzavías community theater group, from the Nueve de Julio city, is taken as a case, seeking to investigate the modalities of articulation between the group and the State based on specific cultural and social policies, which at the same time enabled and hindered the development of activities and the exploration of other areas of social life through art. Through an ethnographic approach to the object, we propose an analysis that is both historically situated and theoretically transdisciplinary, which reveals processes linked to the region’s cultural policies and participants’ subjective transformations. In this way, we seek to contribute both to the field of cultural policy studies, as well as to the perspectives that analyze processes of art, inclusion and social transformation.; Este artigo reflete sobre a articulação das políticas culturais e projetos artísticos de inclusão social na província de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Utlizando como caso o grupo de teatro comunitário Cruzavías, da “Festa Nueve de Julio”, se procuram pesquisar as modalidades de articulação entre o grupo e o Estado a partir de políticas culturais e sociais específicas, que permitiram, por um lado, o desenvolvimento de atividades e, pelo outro, a exploração de outras áreas da vida social através da arte. Através de uma abordagem etnográfica do objeto, propomos uma análise historicamente situada e teoricamente transdisciplinar, onde se revelam processos vinculados às políticas culturais da região e as transformações subjetivas dos participantes. Desta maneira, procuramos contribuir tanto para o campo dos estudos das políticas culturais, quanto para as perspectivas que analisam processos de arte, inclusão e transformação social.
