Desarrollo turístico en Ushuaia

Incluye BibliografíaUshuaia es una de las localidades que componen el corredor turístico patagónico junto a El Calafate y Puerto Madryn. Ciudad capital de la provincia de Tierra del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur, localizada a orillas del Canal de Beagle, Ushuaia está vinculada a imágenes de 'fin del mundo' y 'puerta de entrada a la Antártida'. El fuerte valor simbólico de estas imágenes es el principal atractivo para los viajeros que llegan a un territorio que creció sobre la base de un régimen aduanero especial que promovió la localización industrial y cuya pérdida de dinamismo indujo a una mayor valorización del turismo como fuente de ingresos y generación de puestos de trabajo. La provincialización del antiguo Territorio Nacional permitió incorporar en la nueva legislación provincial la preocupación de los actores locales por el medioambiente y las actividades económicas relacionadas con la naturaleza y el paisaje. Al mismo tiempo, la concreción de obras de infraestructura que cubrieron necesidades locales permitió atender la demanda creciente de turistas. El aumento del turismo en los años noventa se fortaleció finalmente con la incorporación de los cruceros. Como parte de una experiencia de desarrollo territorial que presenta marcados desequilibrios, el turismo surge en la actualidad como una actividad susceptible de crear nuevas oportunidades de negocios y empleo. Utilizando la metodología de análisis de clusters; en este trabajo se examina la actividad turística en Ushuaia, sus componentes y las vinculaciones que se establecen. Ello permite observar la conducta del agrupamiento, sus condiciones para incorporarse en un proceso de desarrollo regional, así también como identificar las dificultades que presenta su evolución. En este sentido, adquiere valor la necesidad de definir un perfil para la actividad del turismo que posibilite diseñar un proyecto turístico con crecientes grados de articulación institucional, territorial y social

¿Un Gardel venezolano? El día que me quieras de José Ignacio Cabrujas

In this article the author approaches the idea of the myth and the way Carlos Gardel is transformed into a myth that crosses the borders of Argentina to become a Latin American mythical being. Throughout the work the author approaches in the first place the gardelian myth, framing it in a greater reality, the one of popular myths of Latin America in the context of a supposed loss of identity, its reaches and how its image was taken by dramatists of different times and different countries, like Chile, Venezuela and Uruguay. Then she focuses on José Ignacio Cabrujas study and his song El día que me quieras to try, finally, to reflect about this work and its validity, when in the beginnings of the third millenium Latin America utopias struggle to resurge, in spite of the globalisation.En este artículo se aborda la idea del mito y la forma en la que un Carlos Gardel se transforma en un mito que trasciende las fronteras de la Argentina para ser un ser mítico latinoamericano. A lo largo del trabajo la autora aborda en primer lugar el mito gardeliniano enmarcándolo entro de una realidad mayor, la de los mitos populares de América Latina en el contexto de una supuesta pérdida de la identidad, sus alcances y cómo su figura fe tomada por dramaturgos de distintas épocas y de distintos países, entre ellos Chile, Venezuela y Uruguay. Luego se detiene en el estudio de José Ignacio Cabrunas y la obra El día que me quieras para intentar, por último, reflexionar acerca de esta obra y su vigencia, cuando en los comienzos del tercer milenio las utopías en Latinoamérica pugnan por resurgir, a pesar de la globalización.Neste artigo aborda-se a idéia do mito e a maneira em que um Carlos Gardel transforma-se num mito que trascendeas fronteiras da Argentina para ser um ser mítico latinoamericano. No trabalho a autora aborda no primeiro lugar o mitogardeliniano envoldurando-o dentro duma realidade maior, a dos mitos populares de América Latina no contexto duma suposta perda da identidade, seus alcances e como sua figura foi tomada por dramaturgos de diferentes épocas e de diferentes países, entre eles Chile, Venezuela e Uruguay. Depois se detém no estudo de José Ignacio Cabrujas e a obra El día que me quieras para tentar, por último, reflexionar a respeito desta obra e sua vigência, quando nos começos do terceiro milênio as utopias em latinoamérica batalham por resurgir, apesar da globalização

INNOVACIÓN EN EL TEATRO DE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

Destacamos la producción de Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) durante laetapa de sus primeras producciones, cuando se hizo famoso con El zoode cristal (1945). Ya en la segunda época, y más adelante, con Un tranvíallamado deseo. Fue encasillado erróneamente en el denominado realismonorteamericano sin tener en cuenta que el lenguaje poético, los simbolismosy el uso de procedimientos cinematográficos en su producción evidencianuna búsqueda superadora del realismo canónico, cercana al expresionismo.En nuestra exposición, primero, caracterizaremos el Expresionismo europeoy su influencia en Estados Unidos, principalmente con la hegemoníadel cine. En segundo lugar, estudiaremos su propuesta teatral innovadora,ejemplificando con dos piezas suyas, ambas de períodos diferentes. Del primero,El zoo de Cristal y, del segundo, Orfeo desciende (1957). Finalmente,elaboramos nuestras conclusiones. INNOVATION AT THE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS THEATERABSTRACTWe highlight the production of Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) during thestage of his first productions; he became famous first with The Crystal Zoo(1945). It was erroneously classified in the so-called North American realism,without taking into account that the poetic language, symbolism and theuse of cinematographic procedures in its production show a search beyondcanonical realism, close to Expressionism.In our presentation, first, we characterize European Expressionism and its influencein the United States, mainly with the hegemony of cinema. Secondly,we study his innovative theatrical proposal exemplifying with two pieces ofboth from different periods. Of the first, the Crystal zoo and, of the second,Orpheus descends (1957). Finally, we draw our conclusions.Key words: American theater, Tennessee Williams, Expressionis

Representaciones expandidas en puestas contemporáneas

This paper analyzes local stage productions where it appears a strong hybridization. In addition, it revises his background: garde movements that occurred in Europe in the early twentieth century in full Modernity, which then moved to our American continent. Already in the XXI century is increased hybridization and cultural mixing.Two trends are addressed. On the one hand they redefine classical authors in stagings thatcontextualize current issues. On the other, it produces texts themselves with the same aim as the previous trend. In both cases, it is evident the incidence of the media and the dominance of a globalized culture, which imposes directors and theater artists their aesthetic and narrative models and ideology; producing then the intermedia hybridization, meaning, the crossing of the theatrical body with virtuality that expands the theatrical film.Este trabajo analiza producciones escénicas locales donde aparece una marcada hibridación. Revisa sus antecedentes: los movimientos de vanguardia que se produjeron en Europa en los comienzos del siglo XX en plena Modernidad, que luego se trasladó a nuestro continente americano. Ya en el siglo XXI se acrecienta la hibridación y el mestizaje cultural.Se abordan dos tendencias. Por un lado las que resignifican los autores clásicos en puestasque contextualizan problemáticas actuales. Por el otro, la que produce textos propios conel mismo objetivo que la anterior tendencia. En ambos casos, resulta notoria la incidenciade lo mediático y el dominio de una cultura globalizada, que impone a los directores y artistas teatrales sus modelos estéticos- narrativos y su ideología; produciéndose, entonces,la hibridación intermedial o sea el cruce del cuerpo teatral con la virtualidad fílmica queexpande la teatralidad.este trabalho analisa produções cênicas locais onde aparece uma marcada hibridação.

Taste Perception And Food Choices

OBJECTIVES: The extent to which variation in taste perception influences food preferences is, to date, controversial. Bitterness in food triggers an innate aversion that is responsible for dietary restriction in children. We investigated the association among genetic variations in bitter receptor TAS2R38 and food choices in healthy children in the Mediterranean area, to develop appropriate tools to evaluate the relation among genetic predisposition, dietary habits, and feeding disorders. The aims of the study were to get a first baseline picture of taste sensitivity in healthy adults and their children and to explore taste sensitivity in a preliminary sample of obese children and in samples affected by functional gastrointestinal diseases. METHODS: Individuals (98 children, 87 parents, 120 adults) were recruited from the general population in southern Italy. Bitterness sensitivity was assessed by means of a suprathreshold method with 6-propyl-2-thiouracil. Genomic DNA from saliva was used to genotype individuals for 3 polymorphisms of TAS2R38 receptor, A49P, A262 V, and V296I. Food intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS: Children's taste sensation differed from that of adults: we observed a higher frequency of supertasters among children even in the mother-child dyads with the same diplotypes. Among adults, supertaster status was related with proline-alanine-valine (taster allele) homozygous haplotype, whereas supertaster children were mainly heterozygous. Regarding the food choices, we found that a higher percentage of taster children avoided bitter vegetables or greens altogether compared with taster adults. Taster status was also associated with body mass index in boys. CONCLUSIONS: Greater sensitivity to 6-propyl-2-thiouracil predicts lower preferences for vegetables in children, showing an appreciable effect of the genetic predisposition on food choices. None of the obese boys was a supertaster

GWAS reveals determinants of mobilization rate and dynamics of an active endogenous retrovirus of cattle.

peer reviewedFive to ten percent of mammalian genomes is occupied by multiple clades of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), that may count thousands of members. New ERV clades arise by retroviral infection of the germline followed by expansion by reinfection and/or retrotransposition. ERV mobilization is a source of deleterious variation, driving the emergence of ERV silencing mechanisms, leaving "DNA fossils". Here we show that the ERVK[2-1-LTR] clade is still active in the bovine and a source of disease-causing alleles. We develop a method to measure the rate of ERVK[2-1-LTR] mobilization, finding an average of 1 per ~150 sperm cells, with >10-fold difference between animals. We perform a genome-wide association study and identify eight loci affecting ERVK[2-1-LTR] mobilization. We provide evidence that polymorphic ERVK[2-1-LTR] elements in four of these loci cause the association. We generate a catalogue of full length ERVK[2-1-LTR] elements, and show that it comprises 15% of C-type autonomous elements, and 85% of D-type non-autonomous elements lacking functional genes. We show that >25% of the variance of mobilization rate is determined by the number of C-type elements, yet that de novo insertions are dominated by D-type elements. We propose that D-type elements act as parasite-of-parasite gene drives that may contribute to the observed demise of ERV elements

Reconstruction of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in a primary school using epidemiological and genomic data.

peer reviewedMathematical modelling studies have shown that repetitive screening can be used to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 transmission in primary schools while keeping schools open. However, not much is known about how transmission progresses within schools and whether there is a risk of importation to households. During the academic year 2020-2021, a prospective surveillance study using repetitive screening was conducted in a primary school and associated households in Liège (Belgium). SARS-CoV-2 screening was performed via throat washing either once or twice a week. We used genomic and epidemiological data to reconstruct the observed school outbreaks using two different models. The outbreaker2 model combines information on the generation time and contact patterns with a model of sequence evolution. For comparison we also used SCOTTI, a phylogenetic model based on the structured coalescent. In addition, we performed a simulation study to investigate how the accuracy of estimated positivity rates in a school depends on the proportion of a school that is sampled in a repetitive screening strategy. We found no difference in SARS-CoV-2 positivity between children and adults and children were not more often asymptomatic compared to adults. Both models for outbreak reconstruction revealed that transmission occurred mainly within the school environment. Uncertainty in outbreak reconstruction was lowest when including genomic as well as epidemiological data. We found that observed weekly positivity rates are a good approximation to the true weekly positivity rate, especially in children, even when only 25% of the school population is sampled. These results indicate that, in addition to reducing infections as shown in modelling studies, repetitive screening in school settings can lead to a better understanding of the extent of transmission in schools during a pandemic and importation risk at the community level
