“Quiero un cumpleaños así, estilo peruano” migraciones y saberes festivos en la ciudad de Córdoba

In this paper, we study the employment and occupational trajectories of Carmen and Hermes, both were born in Perú, and immigrated to Córdoba in the early twenty-first century. At present, these agents are articulated in a labor intended for decoration and entertainment children's birthday parties. From an ethnographic perspective, we analyze: the particular migratory experience of each; the maintenance of ties with Perú and Córdoba; the role played by certain women -mothers, sisters and aunts- as links in a chain in the processes of family reunification; their occupations in their cities of origin linking them with their current jobs; body of knowledge that move to position against his countrymen as embodying " Peruvian style " about holding children's birthday parties. At the same time, the text seeks to explain the process by which migrant's get become both “their own bosses” and the importance of social networks does to start and expand their businesses associated with festive practices.En el escrito pesquisamos la inserción laboral y las trayectorias ocupacionales de Carmen y Hermes, ambos nacidos en Perú, quienes migraron a Córdoba a principios del siglo XXI. En el presente, estos agentes están articulados en un mercado laboral destinado a la decoración y animación de fiestas de cumpleaños infantiles. Desde una perspectiva etnográfica analizamos: la experiencia migratoria particular de cada uno de ellos; el sostenimiento de los vínculos sociales con Perú y en Córdoba; el rol que jugaron ciertas mujeres -madres, hermanas y tías- como eslabones de una cadena en los procesos de reunificación familiar; sus ocupaciones laborales en sus ciudades de origen vinculándolas con sus empleos actuales; el conjunto de saberes que movilizaban para posicionarse frente a sus compatriotas como portadores de un “estilo peruano” en torno a la celebración de fiestas de cumpleaños infantiles. Del mismo modo, el trabajo busca dar cuenta del proceso mediante el cual ambos agentes consiguen volverse “sus propios jefes” y la importancia que cumplieron las redes sociales para iniciar y extender sus negocios festivos

Relações e organização do trabalho nos mundos das festas de aniversários infantis da cidade de Córdoba-Argentina

En el marco de la expansión del mercado de la diversión y la tercerización de eventos familiares, durante los años 2012 y 2017 realizamos un trabajo etnográfico entre una red de agentes que se desempeñaban cooperativamente y competitivamente produciendo comercialmente celebraciones de natalicios de niños y niñas en salones de la ciudad de Córdoba. Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir analíticamente las relaciones laborales y la organización del trabajo que hacían posible la realización de los festejos. Para ello, caracterizamos a los dueños y dueñas de los emprendimientos, los sentidos que movilizaban en torno a su labor y el rol que jugaba la Municipalidad de Córdoba en la configuración de estos espacios de divertimento. Luego, nos detenemos en el análisis del trabajo de las encargadas y de jóvenes que se desempeñaban como animadoras/res de niños y niñas, evidenciando la vigencia y el modo en que operaban estereotipos de género, edad y clase durante la división de tareas y el reclutamiento de la mano de obra abocada a la recreación de infancias.Within the context of expansion of the entertainment market and the outsourcing of family events, we conducted an ethnographic work during 2012 and 2017 in a network of agents who worked in a cooperative and competitive mannerbycommercially producing boys' and girls' birthday celebrations in venues in the city of Córdoba. In this article, we delve into the working career of male and female entrepreneurs in the field of children's birthday parties. This career was organized around three positions: male and female owners, female manager, and male and female entertainers. Through the description and analysis of each activity, we show the way in which subjects constructed themselves as professionals by drawing boundaries with male and female improvisers. In this process, gender differences were reinstated reestablishing inequalities in the possibility of projecting themselves under the imperatives of professionalism.No contexto da expansão do mercado da diversão e da externalização de eventos familiares, durante os anos de 2012 e 2017 realizamos um trabalho etnográfico entre uma rede de agentes que realizavam, de forma cooperativa e competitiva, a produção comercial de celebrações de natalício de crianças em salões da cidade de Córdoba. No presente artigo analisamos a carreira laboral de empreendedores e empreendedoras nos mundos das festas de aniversários infantis. Esta carreira estava organizada em torno de três posições: proprietárias/os, encarregada, animadoras/es. Através da descrição e análise de cada atividade, mostramos como os sujeitos se construíam como profissionais, desenhando limites com as e os improvisadores. Em este processo, as diferenças de gênero eram refeitas, restabelecendo desigualdades nas possibilidades de se projetarem sob as exigências do imperativo do profissionalismo.Fil: Castro, Cecilia Alejandra.

Entrepreneurship as a Lifestyle: The role attitude plays in the employment dynamics of workers in the fitness and children's party sectors (Córdoba, Argentina)

Within the framework of our research, the entrepreneur and variations on this concept emerged as a meaningful theme in the statements in interviews, and in the textual-digital material circulated in the recreation and entertainment spaces we surveyed. That is why this paper delves into the actions of the lifestyle through an analysis of the performances and practices of owners and workers in children's party venues and in fitness gyms. The paper's introduction offers a spatial-temporal contextualisation of the political and economic scenario in which the services covered by our case studies were supplied. We go on to present some conceptual plots that we attribute to the entrepreneurial lifestyle and then proceed to examine the cultural and historical dynamics through which these businesses were set up as places for bodily well-being (gyms) and fun (children's party salons) - both things we identify as catering to Argentina's Middle Class. While our approach stresses emerging patterns linking both cases, it also highlights the special factors shaping the symbolic features of each cultural scene. The similarities and differences found between the two cases revealed how a host of entrepreneurs (usually young people) was spawned. These youngsters need certain attitudes and creative skills to pursue their social and financial goals. Entrepreneurship as a lifestyle presupposes certain attitudes.Fil: Landa, Maria Ines.

Artificial Neural Network and a Nonlinear Regression Model for Predicting Electrical Pole Crash

This paper presents the investigation about a problem situation that Electric Distributor Companies are facing in Chile resulting from transit accidents. The number of vehicle crashes to power distribution poles and street lighting has grown. This situation causes discomfort to citizen and mainly to the neighbors due to power cuts and even on occasion , losses of human lives because of the accident that have occurred. Based on previous research, the accidents are not random nor chance dependent, but the majority of transit accident follow parameters or variables from the scenery where it occurs. In order to analyze the variables and the degree this variables affect the accidents, a model of Perceptron and Multipercetron Artificial Neural Networks and a Multiple Nonlinear Regression model are proposed. An empirical study was made; collecting data from a distributor company and from Chilean National Traffic Safety Commission, where the more frequent variables involved in accidents were determined to develop the mentioned models. These variables were investigated and also their influence on the occurrence of vehicle crashes to power distribution poles could be confirmed. With this data, the prediction of post crashes was developed, where through the application of the neural network and multiple nonlinear regression, revealed 95.7% of acceptable predictions. This study will bring benefits to power distribution companies considering a risk index in the streets, based on the number of crashes of poles per street; this will allow optimal decisions in future electrical distribution projects avoiding critical areas

Propiedades psicométricas del índice de calidad de sueño de Pittsburgh en deportistas

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a widely used instrument in clinical and non-clinical populations for the evaluation of sleep quality. The purpose of this work was to determine the factorial structure and internal consistency of the ICSP in university athletes from southern Sonora, Mexico, for the evaluation of the psychometric properties of the instrument. A non-experimental cross-sectional study was carried out with 98 university athletes, 39 women (38.2%), in a range of 17 to 25 years. The internal consistency and homogeneity of the instrument were evaluated, as well as the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability results indicated a Cronbach's α of 0.79 after eliminating the components of sleep medication use and habitual sleep efficiency. The EFA identified a two-factor model and the AFC a one-dimensional model. It is concluded that the sleep quality in this sample of athletes is better explained by a unidimensional model of five components.El índice de calidad de sueño de Pittsburgh (ICSP) es un instrumento ampliamente utilizado en poblaciones clínicas y no clínicas para la evaluación de la calidad de sueño. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la estructura factorial y consistencia interna del ICSP en deportistas universitarios del sur de Sonora México para la evaluación de las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento. Se realizó un estudio transversal no experimental con 98 deportistas universitarios, 39 mujeres (38,2%), en un rango de 17 a 25 años. Se evaluó la consistencia interna y homogeneidad del instrumento, así como los análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y confirmatorio (AFC). Los resultados de confiabilidad indicaron un α de Cronbach de 0,79 eliminando los componentes de uso de medicamentos para dormir y eficiencia habitual del sueño. El AFE identificó un modelo de dos factores y el AFC un modelo unidimensional. Se concluye que la calidad de sueño en esta muestra de deportistas se explica mejor mediante un modelo unidimensional de cinco componentes

La prevención del cáncer cervicouterino analizada desde la investigación evaluativa. Valoración multi-actoral sobre el alcance de la política en el Gran San Juan.

El Programa Provincial de Prevención de Cáncer Cervicouterino busca disminuir la tasa de incidencia y mortalidad por esta enfermedad en mujeres cuyo acceso a la salud se ve condicionado por múltiples factores. El diseño de la política gira en torno a la salud de las mujeres y al Estado como garante de ese derecho.El estudio analiza las principales acciones y resultados del programa, obtenidos en el periodo 2014-2016, en el Gran San Juan, a través de la investigación evaluativa. Se adoptó un enfoque mixto de investigación a fin de recuperar datos cuantitativos y cualitativos que permitan conocer, describir e interpretar el impacto de la enfermedad, la valoración sobre la política de salud desde la visión de mujeres y profesionales y poder construir lecciones aprendidas y recomendaciones que refuercen la política.Los resultados obtenidos permiten visibilizar la problemática incorporándola en la agenda pública local. El programa se desarrolla en un sistema de salud desarticulado donde las acciones de prevención resultan aisladas. Dificultades de infraestructura, escasez de recurso humano, cultura patriarcal dominante, responsabilización de la mujer sobre el cuidado personal, sumado a la débil cultura evaluativa de las políticas públicas, son los principales factores que influyen sobre el logro de los objetivos del programa.  

Identification of potential fish stocks and lifetime movement patterns of Mugil liza Valenciennes 1836 in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

[EN] The mullet Mugil liza is the Mugilidae that lives southernmost in the western Atlantic Ocean. Knowledge about migration, movements and identification of stocks of this important fishery resource is scarce. Thus, we aim to study movement patterns and to identify the presence of different fish stocks in the southwestern region of the Atlantic Ocean, using cumulative otolith shape morphometric and microchemical analyses of sagittae otoliths. Specimens (n = 99) were obtained in four coastal areas: Paranagua Bay in Brazil, Saniborombon Bay, Mar Chiquita Coastal Lagoon, and San Blas Bay in Argentina. Otolith shape indices (circularity, rectangularity, aspect ratio, percentage occupied by sulcus, ellipticity and form factor) were used for stock identification analysis; and otolith microchemistry using LA-ICP-MS (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios chronological variation) was used for both the analysis of movement behaviors and the identification of fish stocks (otolith edge ratios). Morphometrical indices did not reveal a clear separation among areas. San Blas bay individuals presented otoliths tending to be longer than wider, with a more elliptic shape than the otoliths from other studied areas; also, this area did not share individuals with the most northern one, Paranagua Bay in Brazil. The analysis of microchemical lifetime profiles revealed three types of behavior pattern: Type I: most frequent use of estuarine environments; Type II: a fluctuating behavior between estuarine and sea/high salinity waters; Type III: most frequent use of sea/high salinity habitats. Otolith edge analysis did not reveal differences among Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios for the different areas. Thus, it cannot be assured that there is more than one stock in the studied region. Mugil Um revealed different environmental migratory behaviors in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean showing a facultative use of estuarine waters; hence, the species appears to be mostly coastal with the use of low estuaries, as seen also by the Sr/Ca otolith cores ratios; differing from the general mugilid behavior previoulsy described.The authors are grateful to CONICET (PIP 112-20120100543CO), Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBACYT 20020150100052BA) and ANPCyT (PICT 2015-1823) for financial and logistic support.

Genealogía del paradigma onto-teo-político

La genealogía del paradigma onto-teo-político es una investigación que ha comenzado en 2014 y que, mediante el método genealógico, se propone definir la vigencia o la ruptura del paradigma. Durante 2014 y 2015 se han trabajado las formas epocales del paradigma en algunos textos de la antigüedad y el medioevo, hasta el siglo XVII. La hipótesis de trabajo ha sido el dar cuenta del modo en que la perspectiva ontoteológica y su organización son puestas en cuestión, fundamentalmente desde la perspectiva de la ciencia y de la política, a partir del Renacimiento. Si bien hacia fines del XIX, y sobre todo con la aparición de la crítica más severa a este paradigma por parte de Nietzsche y Marx, que se mantiene en el siglo XX con la propuesta de la Posmodernidad, permanecen en el pensar contemporáneo, tanto universal como geocultural, conceptos que siguen produciendo efecto en la realidad y que provienen de una raíz ontoteológica (soberanía, esperanza, reconciliación, persona, etc.). Podemos afirmar que el rastreo genealógico del paradigma ontoteopolítico aparece en cada uno de los autores con los que hemos trabajado. En la Antigüedad, este paradigma estaba presente en la Metafísica de Aristóteles (por ejemplo, en su concepción del principio que mueve sin ser movido), aunque sin las características de una teología personal. En el polo opuesto, la crítica a la conjunción de lo teoontopolítico está explicitada en El Príncipe de Maquiavelo. Y ya en Hobbes podemos ver cómo se estructura una filosofía civil desligada de la ontoteología. También Baruch Spinoza analizó el concepto de individuo como potencia deseante, que critica el paradigma de la metafísica tradicional.El propósito, a partir de ahora, será rastrear el paradigma en el contexto contemporáneo bajo la misma hipótesis. Para ello, con el aporte de los pensadores del siglo XVII ya trabajados (principalmente Hobbes y Spinoza), se ubicarán los filósofos contemporáneos que, desde una perspectiva ontológica (Heidegger), crítica (Adorno), filosófico-política (Espósito), fenomenológica (Marion), teológica (Scannone y el Papa Francisco), y los filósofos que en nuestra América han trabajado las críticas a la civilización tecnocrática (Kusch, Mignolo), pueden aportar a la pregunta de si el paradigma ontoteopolítico es un marco posible para la comprensión de nuestro presente.The onto-theo-political paradigm is an investigation that began in 2014. By using the genealogical method, attempts to decide the validity or the disruption of the mentioned paradigm. During 2014 and 2015 an analysis has been made regarding the epochal manifestations of the paradigm in some ancient and medieval texts, until the XVII century. The working hypothesis has been to examine how the onto-theological perspective and its organization had been questioned, particularly from the scientific and political perspective that took place since the Renaissance. Although towards the end of the XIX century the most severe critique to the paradigm took place, especially with Nietzsche and Marx, and it continued with the postmodern proposal; there are remains in the contemporary views of concepts, both universal and geo-cultural, that still havean effect in reality and that posses a onto-theological origin (sovereignty, hope, reconciliation, person, etc.). We can confirm that the genealogical tracking of the onto-theo-political paradigm appears in each of the analyzed philosophers. In ancient times, this paradigm is present in Aristotle´s Metaphysics (for example, in his conception of the unmoved mover), even if it lacks the characteristics of a personal theology. On the opposite side, the critique to the onto-theo-political conjunction is quite explicit in Machiavelli´s The Prince. And, in Hobbes, we can already see how a philosophical civil structure is detached from the onto-theology. Also, an analysis has been made on Baruch Spinoza´s concept of the individual as a wishful power, concept that criticizes the traditional metaphysic paradigm. From this point forward, the objective is to track the paradigm in the contemporary context under the same hypothesis. With that in mind, together with the contribution of XVII century’s thinkers (mainly Hobbes and Spinoza), the analysis of contemporary authors will be added, from anontological (Heidegger), critical (Adorno), philosophical-political (Espósito), phenomenological(Marion), and theological (Scannone and Pope Francis) perspective, as well as the ideas that our American philosophers, so critical of the technocratic civilization (Kusch, Mignolo), might add to the inquiry of the onto-theo-political paradigm as a possible model for the comprehension of present times

B-cell profile, B-cell activating factor concentration and IgG levels in human cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate characteristics of B cells in human tegumentary leismaniasis (TL) analysing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), most prevalent form and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), aggressive form characterized by the destruction of the oral-nasal-pharyngeal cavities. Methods and results: By flow cytometry analysis, we found decreased percentages of non–class-switched memory B cells in TL with the degree of the loss related to clinical severity. Using commercial ELISA, we reported high levels of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and IgG preferentially in aggressive CL and markedly in ML together with decreased BAFF receptors in the latter. We also found lower levels of BAFF after clinical recovery suggesting a relation between BAFF and disease activity. Mucosal leishmaniasis history of therapeutic failure presented high levels of BAFF accompanied by detectable concentrations of IFN-γ and IL-6 (assayed by commercial ELISA and cytometric bead arrays respectively), cytokines involved in exaggerated inflammatory responses and tissue damage in TL. Conclusion: We demonstrate B-cell disturbances in TL with the degree of the alterations related to clinical severity. We suggest a relation between excess of BAFF and disease activity and point towards a possible implication of BAFF in the inflammatory phenomenon of ML.Fil: Parodi Ramoneda, Cecilia María.
