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(“armadillos and glyptodonts”) from Roth's collection that have been previously mentioned, which have been remain unpublished for more than 100 years, and are part of the collection that was used for the recognition of the formerly “Etage Friaséen” of the Miocene of South America.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

CONICET Digital -

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.

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.

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); 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.

Salix humboldtiana único sauce nativo: Re-introducción y restauración de ambientes ribereños degradados por actividades agrícolas Giaccio, Gustavo; Pérez, Débora Jesabel; Gallo, Leonardo; Corral, Raúl Alejandro; Pomponio, María Florencia; Okada, Elena; Giaccio, Stefano; Franco, María del Rocío Salix humboldtiana W. más conocido como sauce criollo, es el único representante nativo del género en Sudamérica. Actualmente sus poblaciones están extremadamente disminuidas, debido su devastación durante la época colonial y la posterior deforestación asociada a la actividad agrícola y a la ocupación de los hábitats ribereños por otras especies arbustivas y arbóreas. Por esta razón, para que podamos diferenciar a S. humboldtiana de las otras especies de Salix que habitan la región, primero haremos una descripción fenotípica de los ejemplares en pie relevados en la zona de los Partidos de Tres Arroyos y Coronel Dorrego, con la finalidad de identificarlo genéticamente, multiplicarlo por propagación vegetativa, para luego re-introducirlo en áreas ribereñas y evaluar la potencialidad de utilizarla como especie fitorremediadora de ambientes degradados por actividades agropecuarias.

Cold-adapted strains as plant growth-promoting bacteria on soybean seeds and biocontrol agents against Macrophomina phaseolina Sarli, Dinorah Anabella; Teixeira Gomes, Gisele; Reznikov, Sebastian; Acosta, Federico Francisco; Fariña, Julia Ines; Delgado, Osvaldo Daniel; Sanchez, Leandro Arturo Aim: The aim was to characterize cold-adapted bacteria by testing their PGP features and antagonistic activity against Macrophomina phaseolina, both in vitro and coating soybean seeds (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). Methods and results: Burkholderia gladioli MB39, Serratia proteamaculans 136 and Serratia proteamaculans 137 were evaluated. In vitro tests showed that S. proteamaculans 136 and 137 produce siderophore and indole-acetic acid (IAA), solubilize phosphate and fix nitrogen. Additionally, B. gladioli MB39 and S. proteamaculans 137 showed hydrolase activity and potent antifungal effects. The biocontrol efficacy over soybean seeds was evaluated using in vitro and greenhouse methods by immersing seeds into each bacterial suspension. As a result, S. proteamaculans 136 has improved the performance in all the seed germination evaluated parameters. In addition, S. proteamaculans 137 and B. gladioli MB39 strongly inhibited M. phaseolina, reducing the infection index values to 10% and 0%, respectively. Conclusion: Serratia proteamaculans 136, 137 and Burkholderia gladioli MB39 showed plant growth promotion features and inhibition of Macrophomina phaseolina infection by producing different antifungal compounds. Significance and impact of the study: Our results reinforce the application of cold-adapted Serratia proteamaculans and Burkholderia gladioli bacterial strains as candidates for developing microbial formulation to promote plant growth and guarantee antifungal protection in soybean crops.

A glimpse into the DNA virome of the unique “living fossil” Welwitschia mirabilis

CONICET Digital -

A glimpse into the DNA virome of the unique “living fossil” Welwitschia mirabilis Debat, Humberto Julio; Bejerman, Nicolas Here, we report the identification and characterization of four novel DNA viruses from Welwitschia mirabilis transcriptomic and genomic datasets. Complete circular virus-like sequences with affinity to members of the Caulimoviridae and Geminiviridae families were detected and characterized from Welwitschia mirabilis genomic data. The two newly members of the Caulimoviridae family have been tentatively named as Welwitschia mirabilis virus 1 and 2 (WMV1-WMV2); whereas the two identified geminiviruses were named as Welwitschia mirabilis associated geminivirus A and B (WMaGVA-WMaGVB). Phylogenetic analysis suggests that WMV1-2 belong to a proposed genus of Caulimoviridae-infecting gymnosperms. WMaGVA-B are phylogenetically related with both mastreviruses and capulaviruses and likely represent a distinct evolutionary lineage within geminiviruses. Additionally, we detected several endogenous virus-like elements (EVE) linked to the discovered viruses in the recently reported W. mirabilis genome, suggesting a shared ancient evolutionary history of these viruses and the Welwithschia.

Multitarget Activities of Müller Glial Cells and Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 in Proliferative Retinopathies

CONICET Digital -

Multitarget Activities of Müller Glial Cells and Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 in Proliferative Retinopathies Sanchez, Maria Cecilia; Chiabrando, Gustavo Alberto Müller glial cells (MGCs), the main glial component of the retina, play an active role in retinal homeostasis during development and pathological processes. They strongly monitor retinal environment and, in response to retinal imbalance, activate neuroprotective mechanisms mainly characterized by the increase of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Under these circumstances, if homeostasis is not reestablished, the retina can be severely injured and GFAP contributes to neuronal degeneration, as they occur in several proliferative retinopathies such as diabetic retinopathy, sickle cell retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. In addition, MGCs have an active participation in inflammatory responses releasing proinflammatory mediators and metalloproteinases to the extracellular space and vitreous cavity. MGCs are also involved in the retinal neovascularization and matrix extracellular remodeling during the proliferative stage of retinopathies. Interestingly, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and its ligand α2-macroglobulin (α2M) are highly expressed in MGCs and they have been established to participate in multiple cellular and molecular activities with relevance in retinopathies. However, the exact mechanism of regulation of retinal LRP1 in MGCs is still unclear. Thus, the active participation of MGCs and LRP1 in these diseases, strongly supports the potential interest of them for the design of novel therapeutic approaches. In this review, we discuss the role of LRP1 in the multiple MGCs activities involved in the development and progression of proliferative retinopathies, identifying opportunities in the field that beg further research in this topic area. Summary Statement MGCs and LRP1 are active players in injured retinas, participating in key features such as gliosis and neurotoxicity, neovascularization, inflammation, and glucose control homeostasis during the progression of ischemic diseases, such as proliferative retinopathies.

Narrativas del caminar: Mujeres, territorios, diálogos y entramados de r-existencias junto a las asambleas de los valles de Paravachasca y de Punilla

Narrativas del caminar: Mujeres, territorios, diálogos y entramados de r-existencias junto a las asambleas de los valles de Paravachasca y de Punilla Britos Castro, Ana Victoria; Pedrazzani, Carla Eleonora; Collo, Gilda; Bustos Mantovani, Melina; Barrojo, Sofía Aquí presentamos los recorridos que estamos construyendo como docentes, estudiantes, mujeres de los seminarios optativos Geografía física crítica y naturalezas del antropoceno; Contra-cartografías del neoliberalismo. Luchas y movimientos sociales en defensa de los territorios y la vida; y, Políticas del paisaje e (in)justicias: producción y sombras -colonial, racial, patriarcal- del paisaje, del Departamento de Geografía, Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades (FFyH), Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), junto a integrantes de las Asambleas de los Valles de Paravachasca y de Punilla, de la provincia de Córdoba (Argentina). El punto de partida no fue el hacer extensión, sino la propia lucha desde las Asambleas interpelando-nos en nuestras prácticas cotidianas en y desde la universidad. En estas páginas compartimos el caminar en los territorios desde las aulas de la FFyH hasta la organización de un recorrido junto a estudiantes para poder estar presentes en el Acampe por el monte, organizado por la Asamblea de Paravachasca. Conocer lo que sucede, escuchar las voces de quienes están en territorio poniendo su cuerpo y su vida para resistir y r-existir, gestó el movimiento de encontrar-nos, de permitirnos afectar por lo vivido en el Acampe y en común (re)pensar las formas de crear un entramado comprometido con la defensa ambiental desde y en los territorios. De la participación en el Acampe por el Monte devino “En defensa de los territorios y el monte: recorrido-taller integrador interseminarios y acciones conjuntas con defensorxs del ambiente en Punilla y Paravachasca” como una actividad de extensión en co-organización con la Asamblea Socioambiental San Roque Despierta, vecinxs autoconvocadxs del Valle de Punilla y en diálogo con la Asamblea Paravachasca y vecinxs autoconvocadxs de Paravachasca. Desde estas experiencias entramamos qué entendemos por extensión y nos abrimos a la posibilidad de repensar la universidad y las formas de construir conocimiento.; Here we present the routes that we are building as teachers, students, women from the optional seminars entitled Critical Physical Geography and Natures of the Anthropocene; Counter-cartographies of neoliberalism. Social struggles and movements in defense of territories and life; and, Politics of the landscape and (in)justices: production and shadows -colonial, racial, patriarchal- of the landscape, from the Department of Geography, Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities (FFyH), National University of Córdoba (UNC), together with members of the Assemblies of the Paravachasca and Punilla Valleys, in the Córdoba province (Argentina). The starting point was not the extension, but the struggle itself from the Assemblies questioning us in our daily practices in and from the university. In these pages, we share the walking in the territories from the classrooms of the FFyH to the organization of a route with students to be present at the Acampe por el monte (Camp for the forest), organized by the Paravachasca Assembly. Knowing what is happening, listening to the voices of those who are in the territory putting their bodies and their lives to resist and re-exist, gave rise to the movement of finding ourselves, of allowing ourselves to be affected by what we have lived in the Camp and (re)think in common the ways to create a framework committed to environmental defense from and in the territories. From the participation in the Acampe por el Monte became “In defense of the territories and the forest: interseminar integrative tour-workshop and joint actions with defenders of the environment in Punilla and Paravachasca” as an extension activity co-organized with the Socio-environmental Assembly San Roque Despierta, self-convened neighbors of the Punilla Valley and in dialogue with the Paravachasca Assembly and self-convened neighbors of Paravachasca. From these experiences, we weave what we understand by extension and we are open to the possibility of rethinking the university and the ways of building knowledge.

Filosofía feminista y giro afectivo: Una respuesta ex ante

CONICET Digital -

Filosofía feminista y giro afectivo: Una respuesta ex ante; Feminist Philosophy and the Affective Turn: An ex ante Response Macon, Cecilia Marta El giro afectivo ingresó como matriz de discusión conceptual durante el pasaje entre los siglos XX y XXI y, entre muchos otros debates, argumentó a favor de la productividad de la distinción entre afecto y emoción. El objetivo de este trabajo es señalar el tipo de intervención que sobre la cuestión desarrolló la filosofía feminista antes de la irrupción de esta tradición y, en segundo lugar, establecer qué contenido se le puede dar en este marco a la idea de agencia. El nodo del argumento obliga a recorrer una serie de intervenciones fundamentales de la filósofa feminista Iris Marion Young quien, de acuerdo con mi evaluación, señaló algunos de los efectos políticos problemáticos de ciertos argumentos que, hasta el día de hoy, conforman el corazón del giro afectivo en su versión más ortodoxa.; The affective turn developed as a matrix of conceptual discussion during the passage between the 20th and 21st centuries and, among many other debates, argued in favor of the productivity of the distinction between affect and emotion.The objective of this article is to point out the type of intervention that feminist philosophy deployed on this issue before the irruption of this tradition and, secondly, to establish what content can be given to the idea of affective agency under this framework.The core of the argument leads us to go through a series of fundamental interventions by the feminist philosopher Iris Marion Young who, according to my assessment, scrutinized some of the problematic political effects of certain arguments that, to this day, form the heart of the affective turn in its most orthodox version.

Characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the poultry intestinal environment with anti-Salmonella activity in vitro

CONICET Digital -

Characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the poultry intestinal environment with anti-Salmonella activity in vitro Hidalgo, Victor Maximiliano; Babot, Jaime Daniel; Fernández, María Magdalena; Perez Chaia, Adriana Beatriz; Audisio, Marcela Carina; Apella, Maria Cristina The purpose of this research was the genotypic identification of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), isolated from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of healthy adult birds, and the study of their safety regarding antibiotic resistance, physiological and functional properties involved in the colonization of the GIT of poultry, and Salmonella exclusion, as members of a potential mixed probiotic supplement for poultry. The nucleotidic sequence from Lactobacillus crispatus P1, L. animalis L3, and Enterococcus faecium CRL 1385 (ex-J96) showed 100, 99.8, and 99.3% identity with L. crispatus DSM 20584 T, Ligilactobacillus salivarius ATCC 11741 T, and E. faecium ATCC 19434 T, respectively. These strains showed no resistance to relevant antibiotics usually administered to animals proposed by the European Food Safety Authority. They could endure the detrimental conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (pH 2.6 and oxgall 0.1 and 0.4% w/v). In an ex vivo assay, the LAB showed high adherence to the three sections of the GIT, reaching values higher than 70%. The adhesion to mucus was strain-dependent: L. crispatus CRL 1453 evidenced the highest adhesion (> 19%) while Lig. salivarius subsp. salivarius CRL 1417 and E. faecium CRL 1385 adhered to a lower extent (> 9 and 2%, respectively). Moreover, the LAB elicited remarkable anti-Salmonella activity, taking into account that they could inhibit elevated counts of different Salmonella serovars, especially the host-specific serovars S. Gallinarum and S. Pullorum (up to 8 log CFU/mL decrease in Salmonella counts).

Dioses disidentes: Formas de una religiosidad cuir en la escritura, el arte visual y la performance en América Latina; Dissenting Gods: Forms of Queer Religiosity in writing, visual art and performance in Latin America Deuses dissidentes; Deuses dissidentes: Formas de religiosidade cuir em escrita, artes visuais e performance na América Latina Cabezas Baamonde, Laura María Soledad El presente artículo tiene como propósito analizar el cruce entre religiosidades y sexualidades disidentes en cuatro experiencias estéticas contemporáneas de América Latina. Nos interesa exponer cómo el discurso religioso puede funcionar como un modo de experimentación estética que cuestiona y subvierte, llamativamente, el orden establecido. Para dar cuenta de esto, trabajaremos desde la crítica literaria y de artes visuales con los siguientes materiales: la muestra de arte del artista colombiano Carlos Motta en Buenos Aires y la incorporación de la teología indecente de Marcella Althus-Reid, la obra de arte de Alejandro Tantanian, la escritura ensayística de la brasileña Tatiana Nascimento y el Museo Travesti del Perú de Giuseppe Campuzano en su rol de investigador y performer. Consideramos que el análisis de estas obras da como resultado la puesta en escena de una religiosidad cuir que, desde la escritura, el arte visual y la performance, diseña nuevos protocolos de lectura, transfeministas y decoloniales subvirtiendo el legado occidental, católico, colonial y moderno.; The purpose of this article is to analyze the intersection between religiosities and dissident sexualities in four contemporary aesthetic experiences in Latin America. We are interested in exposing how religious discourse can function as a mode of aesthetic experimentation that strikingly questions and subverts the established order. With this purpose, we work in the frame of literacy criticism and visual arts with the following materials: the Colombian artist Carlos Motta’s art exhibition in Buenos Aires and the incorporation of Marcella Althus-Reid’s indecent theology, Alejandro Tantanian’s artwork, the essay writing of the Brazilian Tatiana Nascimento and the Transvestite Museum of Peru by Giuseppe Campuzano (in his role as researcher and performer). We consider that these works stage a queer religiosity that, from writing, visual arts and performance, designs new transfeminist and decolonial protocols of reading, subverting the Western, Catholic, colonial and modern legacy.; O objetivo deste artigo é estudar a intersecção entre religiosidades e sexualidades dissidentes em quatro experiências estéticas contemporâneas na América Latina.

Para dar conta disso, trabalharemos baseados na critica literária e nas artes visuais com os seguintes materiais: a exposição de arte do artista colombiano Carlos Motta em Buenos Aires, a obra de Alejandro Tantanian, a teologia indecente de Marcella Althus-Reid, o ensaio da brasileira Tatiana Nascimento e o Museu das Travesti do Peru por Giuseppe Campuzano no seu papel de pesquisador e performer. Consideramos como resultado que uma religiosidade queer é encenada e que, a partir da escrita, da arte visual e da performance, desenha novos protocolos de leitura transfeministas e decoloniais, subvertendo o legado ocidental, católico, colonial e moderno.

Encadenamientos productivos en la industria automotriz latinoamericana Pinazo, Germán Diego; Toledo, Pablo Este artículo presenta datos originales sobre encadenamientos productivos de la industria automotriz latinoamericana (América del Sur y México, más específicamente) basados en técnicas de insumo-producto para el año 2017 y, en algún caso, para 2007. Esos datos son utilizados para reflexionar sobre el problema de la integración productiva regional. El artículo finaliza con algunas reflexiones sobre los datos presentados y con comentarios sobre posibles nuevas líneas de investigación.; This paper presents original data on production chains of the Latin American automotive industry (South America and Mexico, more specifically) based on input-output techniques for the year 2017 and, in some cases, for 2007. These data are used to reflect on the problem of regional productive integration. The article ends with some reflections on the data presented and with comments on possible new lines of research.

Recent jaguar records confirm the conservation value of the Baritú-Tariquía corridor between Argentina and Bolivia Caruso, María Flavia; Perovic, Pablo Gastón; de Angelo, Carlos Daniel; Sillero-Zubiri, Claudio Effective transboundary corridors play a crucial role in jaguar Panthera onca conservation. Local residents reported jaguar sightings along the Baritú–Tariquía Biological Corridor, which prompted us to carry out this camera-trap survey. We surveyed an area of 1,243 km2 across the corridor to confirm jaguar presence. We used 50 single camera stations, with cameras placed c. 5 km apart. We placed the cameras along trails, streams and mountain ridges. We recorded jaguars at seven sites across the Corridor; at least three different individuals were identified. These records confirm the presence of the jaguar in the Baritú–Tariquía Biological Corridor between Argentina and Bolivia, a trans-frontier area of the Austral Yungas facing multiple threats but hosting one of the southernmost jaguar populations. Conservation efforts in border regions can promote collaboration and synergies between agencies and other conservation stakeholders, with important implications for wide-ranging predators such as jaguars and their habitats.

Anglers’ perception and attitudes towards angling related marine litter and a conservation program in Argentina

Anglers’ perception and attitudes towards angling related marine litter and a conservation program in Argentina García, Germán Oscar; Cabral, Victoria Noelia; Zumpano, Francisco; Gorostegui Valenti, Ariadna This study was designed to analyzes the perceptions and attitudes of recreational anglers towards the fishing litter issue and a conservation program seeking to promote the responsible management of waste derived from recreational fisheries at a coastal marine Reserve in Argentina. A total of 248 recreational anglers were surveyed between December 2019 and March 2020 at the Mar Chiquita Reserve. The survey included: (1) social and demographic characteristics of the anglers' profile; (2) anglers' perceptions about the Mar Chiquita Reserve and marine litter; and (3) anglers' perception on the conservation program. The average respondent included a coastal angler, who identifies with the male gender, is about 49 years old, and mainly lives in cities that are close to the fishing site. Most of the anglers think that the litter generated during their practice could lead to some threat to the ecosystem. More than 85% of the anglers responded that they returned home with the litter generated during a fishing day while 68% of them also said that they disposed of the litter in some type of bin located within the protected area. The conservation program is recognized by most of the anglers; however, not all of them use the bins installed in the territory by this program. From the different attributes in the conservation program that were assessed by the anglers, it can be observed that the frequency with which the bins are emptied not satisfy the users’ needs and affected the use of the bins. The results presented here are input to consider recreational anglers as key actors not only for the conservation program being studied, but also to design participative management opportunities in the coastal environment.

Huella hídrica como indicador del consumo de agua en la minería de litio en la Puna argentina

Huella hídrica como indicador del consumo de agua en la minería de litio en la Puna argentina; Water footprint as indicator of water consumption in lithium mining in the argentine Puna Arias Alvarado, Paula V.; Diaz Paz, Walter Fernando; Salas Barboza, Ariela Griselda Judith; Seghezzo, Lucas; Iribarnegaray, Martín Alejandro Frente a las proyecciones de crecimiento en la producción de litio surgen algunas preocupaciones en torno al desconocimiento general que existe respecto al consumo tanto de aguadulce como de salmuera por parte de dicha actividad. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estimar elconsumo de agua en la minería del litio en la Puna Argentina empleando el indicador de la huellahídrica. Para el abordaje metodológico, se analizó, revisó y procesó la información del Estudio deImpacto Ambiental y Social (EIAyS) del proyecto Olaroz, en la provincia de Jujuy. Se determinó queel volumen de agua empleado en el proyecto minero está representado en su totalidad por la huellahídrica azul, la cual se estima en 584,1 m3/tn de Li2CO3 producido. El 92% del valor global delindicador está asociado al consumo de salmuera, mientras que el 8% restante está implicado en el consumo de agua dulce. La huella hídrica podría servir como un indicador que contribuya, desde una perspectiva técnica, al análisis y discusión de los consumos de agua en la extracción y el procesamiento del litio, así como también su potencial impacto en el ciclo hidrológico local.; In view of the projected growth in lithium production, some concerns have been raised as the consumption of fresh water and brine associated with this mining activity is generally unknown. The objective of this article was to estimate the water consumption associated with lithium mining in the Argentine Puna using the Water Footprint Index. The methodological approach was based on the selection of the Olaroz project as a study case and the subsequent analysis, review and processing of information from its environmental and social impact study. The volume of water consumed by the mining project is represented in its entirety by the blue water footprint, estimated at 584.1 m3 /tnLi2CO3 produced. 92% of the total value of the indicator is associated with brine consumption, while the remaining 8% is due to fresh water consumption. The water footprint could serve as an indicator contributing, from a technical point of view, to the analysis and discussion of water consumption in the extraction and processing of lithium and its possible impact on the local hydrological cycle.
