El sujeto-objeto de la filosofìa es inherentemente sexuado Binetti, María José En lo que sigue intentaremos mostrar por qué para nosotras el sujeto y objeto de la filosofía ha sido y es inherentemente sexuado. Esto supone varias ideas, tantas cuantas expresiones sexuales contenga la existencia. Entre ellas, supone la sexualidad como impulso creador del pensamiento, fuerza de diferenciación y unidad, de concepción y nacimiento de lo real. Quizás debamos mencionar al respecto que el propio nombre filo-sofía supone la síntesis originaria del pensamiento con cierta energía vital inmanente, esa misma que los antiguos llamaron Eros y entendieron como algo divino. Apoyaremos la idea del sujeto-objeto sexuado de la filosofía en el pensamiento feminista y, en concreto, en el feminismo de la diferencia sexual, el cual ha dado un giro decisivo en la concepción de la ontología.

La democratización como eje de la Intervención profesional del trabajo social; Democratization as the Main Concept of the Professional Intervention of Social Work Berná Vaccarino, Federico Antonio El trabajo que aquí se presenta, es una investigación cualitativa realizada en el marco de una tesis de grado en el año 2014. A través de entrevistas y grupo focal, se indagó sobre la relación entre trabajo social y democracia. De esta forma, se arribó a la conclusión de que es posible que nuestra disciplina haga sus aportes a la construcción de sociedades más democráticas, si al momento de la intervención profesional aplica pequeños procesos democratizadores en los distintos espacios y relaciones sociales. Poder, conflicto, construcción y deconstrucción, participación, derechos y ciudadanía, son algunos de los muchos conceptos que entran en discusión a lo largo de cuatro capítulos: intervención, instituciones, democracia y perspectiva democratizadora para el ejercicio disciplinar.; The following paper is qualitative research carried out within the framework of a graduate thesis in 2014. The relationship between social work and democracy was researched through interviews and a focus group. In this way, the conclusion reached was that it is possible that our discipline contributes to building more democratic societies if, at the time of professional intervention, small democratizing processes in the different spaces and social relations are applied. Power, conflict, construction and deconstruction, participation, rights and citizenship, are some of the many concepts that come into discussion throughout four chapters: intervention, institutions, democracy and a democratizing perspective for disciplinary exercise.

Rousseau’s General Will as a Bound for Strategic Self-Interested Voting; La voluntad general de Rousseau como un límite al voto estratégico autointeresado Bodanza, Gustavo Adrian; Linares, Sebastián Condorcet’s voting method, as its extension known as the Kemeny-Young rule, is often seen as the incarnation of Rousseau’s general will. But the Kemeny-Young rule has problems when cycles in the social ranking arise. In particular, it can lead to choose a “covered” alternative, i.e. one for which there are candidates with better performances in pairwise comparisons. On the other hand, the uncovered set, the set of all the alternatives that are not covered, puts limits to insincere votes of sophisticated voters under certain conditions. Basically, voting insincerelly for a non-preferred alternative in order to favor the actually preferred candidate would lead to the choice of an uncovered alternative. We argue that Rousseau’s general will could be embodied in a different kind of rule than Kemeny-Young’s, with both epistemic credentials and whose outcomes are within the uncovered set altogether. In this work we begin to explore that possibility.

Guano extraction in Atlantic Patagonia (1840–1880) Haller, Sofía Clara Between 1840 and 1880, multiple ships travelled towards the Atlantic coast of Patagonia, engaging in guano extraction. The Patagonian guano, though of inferior quality to the Peruvian product, was one of the most valuable coastal resources of the region. Drawing on a wide variety of documents and literature, the author has explored exploitation practices and logistics. 11 guano deposits exploited have been mapped and linked with details such as vessels, companies and harbours. The history of guano in the region shows an entanglement of connections and competition regarding the resource, raising inter-imperial disputes where different state and non-state agents operated to benefit both distant and regional economies.

Dysregulated light/dark cycle impairs sleep and delays the recovery of patients in intensive care units: A call for action for COVID-19 treatment Golombek, Diego Andrés; Pandi Perumal, Seithikurippu R.; Rosenstein, Ruth Estela; Lundmark, Per Olof; Spence, David Warren; Cardinali, Daniel Pedro; Reiter, Russel; Brown, Gregory M. Exposure to an adequate light–dark cycle is important for the speedy recovery of hospitalized and institutionalized patients. Light exposure, including natural light, offers several health benefits to both patients and nursing staff. This includes physical (e.g., decreased confusion and disorientation) and mental health benefits (e.g., prevention of depression) and a reduction in the hospital stay. Improved alertness and performance can also be noted among hospital staff. In this commentary, we discuss disrupting factors that 20 include light during the nighttime along with noise and physical procedures on the patient and others. We then address some of the important steps that can be undertaken to restore a more normal environment for patients in the intensive care unit, which can be particularly important for COVID-19 patients.

Producción de partículas virales pseudotipadas SARS-CoV-2 para la evaluación de nuevas terapias para COVID-19; Production of SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped viral particles for the evaluation of new therapies against COVID-19 Etchevers, Lucas; Silvestrini, Paula; Velazquez, Natalia Soledad; Baravalle, María Eugenia; Renna, Maria Sol; Olmos Nicotra, Maria Florencia; Ortega, Hugo Hector; Marelli, Belkis Ester La inmunoterapia pasiva como tratamiento contra el virus SARS-CoV-2 (del inglés, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) requiere de la cuantificación de la capacidad neutralizante de los anticuerpos para el desarrollo de terapias efectivas. Para ello, es necesario el uso de partículas virales pseudotipadas no replicativas. Sin embargo, los reactivos de transfección necesarios para su producción son costosos y, en consecuencia, resulta una limitante al momento de escalar la producción. Una manera de eludir esta limitante es el uso de la polietilenimina (PEI), un polímero catiónico de bajo costo. El objetivo del trabajo consistió en optimizar un ensayo de transfección transitoria de bajo costo para producir pseudopartículas virales que expresen la proteína Spike del virus SARSCoV-2. Se realizaron ensayos de transfección en células HEK-293T evaluando diferentes concentraciones de PEI y tiempos de incubación. La transfección se evaluó mediante microscopía de epifluorescencia y citometría de flujo, mostrando que la condición de transfección que tiende a arrojar mejores resultados fue luego de 48 horas de incubación utilizando una relación 1/10 (ADNp/PEI). En conclusión, se ha logrado adaptar un protocolo para producir partículas lentivirales que expresan Spike utilizando un reactivo de transfección de bajo costo. Esto permitiría escalar la producción para, posteriormente, diseñar una plataforma para evaluar terapias para COVID-19.; Passive immunotherapy as a treatment against SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) requires to quantify neutralizing capacity of antibodies for development of effective therapies. However, the transfection reagents necessary for its production are expensive and, consequently, it is a limitation for the scaling up production. Using of polyethyleneimine (PEI), a lowcost cationic polymer, allows to avoid this. The objective of this work was to optimize a low-cost transient transfection assay to produce pseudoparticles that express the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Transfection assays were performed in HEK-293T cells treated with different PEI concentrations and evaluating different incubation times. Transfection was assesed by epifluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, showing that the transfection condition that tends to yield better results was after 48 hours of incubation using a 1/10 ratio (pDNA / PEI). In conclusion, it has been possible to adapt a protocol to produce spike-expressing lentiviral particles using a low-cost transfection reagent. This would allow to scale up the production and, following, to design a platform for evaluation of COVID-19 therapies.

La paleoherpetología en la Universidad de Buenos Aires: pasado y presente; Paleoherpetology at the Universidad de Buenos Aires: past and present Leardi, Juan Martín; Farina, Martin Ezequiel; Gomez, Raul Orencio; Marsicano, Claudia Alicia La Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales (FCEN) de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) se alojó inicialmente en la Manzana de las Luces de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, para luego reubicarse en los Pabellones I y II del complejo Ciudad Universitaria. Los estudios paleoherpetológicos en UBA se iniciaron con el Dr. Osvaldo Reig quien estuvo tres períodos en la institución: primero a fines de los 50, luego desde inicios a mediados de los 60 y finalmente a principios de los 80. Durante su primera época continuó con sus estudios de materiales fósiles de arcosaurios triásicos y anuros mesozoicos y cenozoicos. En su segundo período en la FCEN estuvo más enfocado en estudios microevolutivos basados en materiales actuales. La Dra. Ana María Báez se especializó en el estudio de los anfibios anuros, interactuando internacionalmente con destacados investigadores y formando profesionales en dicha temática y se desempeñó como profesora de la FCEN hasta el 2006. Tras su cese de actividades como profesora, este rol fue ocupado por su discípula la Dra. Claudia A. Marsicano, quien se dedicó al análisis de los anfibios temnospóndilos, aunque actualmente amplió sus estudios a las faunas de tetrápodos del Permo-Triásico de Gondwana. La Dra. C. A. Marsicano fundó el Laboratorio de Estudios Paleobiológicos en Ambientes Continentales y formó tesistas de grado y doctorado en paleoherpetología. En la actualidad los investigadores en paleoherpetología más jóvenes en la FCEN son Juan M. Leardi, que estudia crocodilomorfos, y Raúl O. Gómez, especializado en anuros y otros vertebrados.; The Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales (FCEN) of the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) was originally located in the area of the Buenos Aires downtown known as the Manzana de las Luces and then was relocated to the buildings I and II of Ciudad Universitaria. The paleoherpetological studies in this institution began with the contributions of Dr. Osvaldo Reig, who was at UBA in three separate periods: first in the early ’50s, then during the earlies and mid ’60s, and finally in the mid ’80s. During his first period his research was focused on Triassic archosaurs and anurans from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. On his second period at FCEN, his research was focused towards microevolutionary studies based on extant species. Dr. Ana María Báez is a specialist in fossil anurans, who had a high impact on the field and formed several students and acted as a professor at FCEN up to 2006. After A. M. Báez retired from her teaching duties, her place was filled by her disciple Dr. Claudia A. Marsicano. Dr. C. A. Marsicano centered her early studies on fossil temnospondyls to later expand her focus to the analyses of Permo-Triassic tetrapod faunas of Gondwana. C. A. Marsicano founded the Laboratorio de Estudios Paleobiológicos en Ambientes Continentales and has acted as advisor in several undergraduate and doctoral theses. The younger paleoherpetologists of the FCEN are Dr. Juan M. Leardi, whose research focuses in fossil crocodylomorphs, and Dr. Raúl O. Gómez, who studies fossil anurans and other vertebrates.

Silver nanoparticles synthesized by the heavy metal resistant strain Amycolatopsis tucumanensis and its application in controlling red strip disease in sugarcane Guerrero, Daiana Soledad; Bertani, Romina Priscila; Ledesma, Ana Estela; Frias, Maria de Los Angeles; Romero, Cintia Mariana; Dávila Costa, José Sebastián The production of bioethanol and sugar from sugarcane is an important economic activity in several countries. Sugarcane is susceptible to different phytopathogens. Over the last years, the red stripe disease caused by the bacterium Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae produced significant losses in sugarcane crops. Bio-nanotechnology emerged as an eco-friendly alternative to the biosynthesis of antimicrobial molecules. The aims of this study were to (a) produce extracellular silver nanoparticles using the heavy metal resistant strain Amycolatopsis tucumanensis,(b) evaluate their antibacterial in vitro effect and (c) determine the potential of silver nanoparticles to protect sugarcane against red stripe disease. Amycolatopsis tucumanensis synthesized spherical silver nanoparticles with an average size of 35 nm. Nanoparticles were able to control the growth of A. avenae subsp. avenae in in vitro assays. In addition, in vivo assays in sugarcane showed a control upon the red stripe disease when silver nanoparticles were applied as preventivetreatment. The Disease Severity Index was 28.94% when silver nanoparticles were applied 3 days before inoculation with A. avenae subsp. avenae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of silver nanoparticles extracellularly synthesized by an Amycolatopsis strain that were able to inhibited the growth of A. avenae subsp. avenae and control the red stripe disease in sugarcane.

Quantitative matrix weighted estimates for certain singular integral operators Muller, Pamela Anahí; Rivera Ríos, Israel Pablo In this paper quantitative weighted matrix estimates for vector valued extensions of Lr′-Hörmander operators and rough singular integrals are studied. Strong type (p,p) estimates, endpoint estimates, and some new results on Coifman-Fefferman estimates assuming A∞ and Cp condition counterparts are provided. To prove the aforementioned estimates we rely upon some suitable convex body domination results that we settle as well in this paper.

Wildfire Smoke Effects on Lake-Habitat Specific Metabolism: Toward a Conceptual Understanding Scordo, Facundo; Sadro, Steven; Culpepper, Joshua; Seitz, Carina; Chandra, Sudeep The impacts of wildfire smoke on lake habitats remains unclear. We determined the metabolic response to smoke in the epi-pelagic and two littoral habitats in Castle Lake, California. We compared light regime, gross primary production, ecosystem respiration, and net ecosystem production in years with and without smoke. During the smoke period incident ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) decreased by 53% and 28%, respectively, while the water column extinction coefficient of UV-B and PAR increased by 20% and 18% respectively. Epi-pelagic productivity increased during smoke cover because of decreased solar inputs. PAR values remained sufficient to saturate productivity, suggesting observed differences were primarily the result of changes in UV-B. Littoral-benthic productivity did not change, possibly reflecting adaptation to high-intensity UV-B light in these habitats. Our results highlight the importance of understanding how prolonged wildfire smoke alters the amount of energy produced from specific habitats in lakes.

Actividad cuaternaria entre el piedemonte y la planicie orientales de la sierra de Comechingones asociada a la falla Santa Catalina, Sierras Pampeanas de Córdoba, Argentina; Quaternary activity associated with the Santa Catalina fault between the eastern piedemont and plain of the Comechingones mountain range, Sierras Pampeanas of Córdoba, Argentina Sagripanti, Guillermo Luis; Villalba, Diego; Andreazzini, María Jimena Las deformaciones neotectónicas asociadas al frente de levantamiento de la sierra de Comechingones se concentran en su piedemonte occidental, aunque también se han detectado deformaciones análogas vinculadas a fallas inversas ubicadas en el piedemonte oriental y en su límite con la planicie aledaña, entre estas fallas, las denominadas Las Lagunas y Las Rosas. El objetivo de la presente contribución es presentar evidencias neotectónicas que confirmen la actividad cuaternaria de la falla Santa Catalina situada al este de las antes mencionadas. Entre los métodos aplicados se destacan la toma de fotografías aéreas oblicuas, la descripción de perfiles naturales, un análisis de modelos de elevación digital, determinación de parámetros morfométricos en tramos de cauces y la utilización de información de perforaciones para la extracción de agua e información gravimétrica obtenida en un trabajo anterior. Los resultados indican que la falla Santa Catalina es una falla de movimiento inverso no emergente, responsable de la morfología que generan los mesobloques Santa Catalina-Golf y Espinillos, y de las modificaciones en la red de drenaje local. De acuerdo a las deformaciones detectadas, pliegues y flexuras, entre otras, se interpreta que la falla Santa Catalina ha tenido actividad durante el Cuaternario y que podría representar a las deformaciones neotectónicas más orientales de la provincia geológica “Sierras Pampeanas de Córdoba y San Luis” a los 33º S.; The neotectonic deformations associated with the uplift front of the Comechingones mountain range are concentrated in its western foothills, although analogous deformations associated with reverse motion faults located in the eastern foothills and on its border with the surrounding plain, such as the so-called Las Lagunas and Las Rosas, have also been detected. The objective of this contribution is to present neotectonic evidence confirming the quaternary activity of the Santa Catalina fault. Oblique aerial photos, description of natural profiles, a digital elevation models analysis, determination of morphometric parameters in river reaches and the use of drilling information for water extraction and gravimetric information obtained in previous works among others, were the applied methods. The results indicate that the Santa Catalina fault is a non-emergent reverse motion fault, responsible for the morphology generated by the Santa Catalina-Golf and Espinillos blocks, and for the modifications in the local drainage network. The deformations detected, folds and flexures among others, allow us to interpret that the Santa Catalina fault has been active during the Quaternary and that it could represents the easternmost neotectonic deformations of the geological province Sierras Pampeanas of Córdoba and San Luis to this latitude of 33º South.

Early-stage response in anaerobic bioreactors due to high sulfate loads: Hydrogen sulfide yield and other organic volatile sulfur compounds as a sign of microbial community modifications Olivera, Camila; Tondo, Maria Laura; Girardi, Valentina; Fattobene, Lucia; Herrero, María Sol; Perez, Leonardo Martin; Salvatierra, Lucas Matías In this work, the early-stage response of six lab-scale biogas bioreactors fed with different amounts of a sulfate-rich organic agro-industrial effluent was investigated. Biogas characterization, gas chromatography selective for sulfur compounds and high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene were performed. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) yield went from transient to steady state in ∼ 2 weeks for all the studied conditions. In addition, volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), like methanethiol (MeSH) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS), were generated at high sulfate loads. Changes were evidenced in the microbial community structures, with a higher abundance of genes involved in the dissimilatory sulfate-reduction pathway in high loaded sulfate bioreactors, as determined by PICRUSt analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation analyses evidenced strong relationships between H2S, VSCs and the microbial community. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) like Desulfocarbo, Desulfocella and Desulfobacteraceae might be possibly linked with methylation processes of H2S.

El renacimiento del mundo antiguo en Italia: Diálogos y debates; The renaissance of the antiquity in Italy: Dialogues and debates Sverlij, Mariana Desde que Burckhardt encontrara en la cultura antigua resucitada en la Italia del siglo XIV una guía de acceso a los tiempos modernos, numerosos estudios han planteado sus propias certezas e interrogantes en torno al concepto de Renacimiento. Nuestra intención en las siguientes líneas es demorarnos en algunos de estos debates y diálogos historiográficos a fin de poner de relieve y en tensión la idea de retorno a un tiempo histórico-cultural anterior que subyace en el concepto de Renacimiento.; Since Burckhardt found a guide to access modern times through the Antiquity culture resurrected in fourteenth-century Italy, numerous studies have considered their own questions and notions surrounding the concept of Renaissance. In the following lines, it is intended to look into some of these historiographical debates and dialogues, with the aim to highlit and argue the idea of returning to a certain previous historical and cultural time, which underlies the concept of Renaissance.

Exp2GO: Improving Prediction of Functions in the Gene Ontology with Expression Data Di Persia, Leandro Ezequiel; Lopez, Tiago; Arce, Agustín Lucas; Milone, Diego Humberto; Stegmayer, Georgina The computational methods for the prediction of gene function annotations aim to automatically find associations between a gene and a set of Gene Ontology (GO) terms describing its functions. Since the hand-made curation process of novel annotations and the corresponding wet experiments validations are very time-consuming and costly procedures, there is a need for computational tools that can reliably predict likely annotations and boost the discovery of new gene functions. This work proposes a novel method for predicting annotations based on the inference of GO similarities from expression similarities. The novel method was benchmarked against other methods on several public biological datasets, obtaining the best comparative results. exp2GO effectively improved the prediction of GO annotations in comparison to state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the proposal was validated with a full genome case where it was capable of predicting relevant and accurate biological functions. The repository of this project withh full data and code is available at https://github.com/sinc-lab/exp2GO.
