Políticas públicas e institucionalidad para la intensificación sostenible en los países del Cono Sur

En el marco de la línea estratégica (LE) sobre Intensificación Sostenible (IS) del PROCISUR, se identificó la necesidad de contar con un estudio sobre la situación actual de las políticas públicas e institucionalidad en los países de esa región referentes al tema de la IS. La realización de ese estudio fue encomendada a un equipo interdisciplinario integrado por profesionales de los INIA de Argentina (M. Mercedes Patrouilleau e Ignacio Alonso), Brasil (Luiz Adriano Maia Cordeiro), Chile (Jorge Carrasco), Paraguay (Crisanta Rodas) y Uruguay (Nicolás Gutiérrez y Bruno Ferraro), quienes constituyeron un núcleo de estudio (NE). Este NE realizó un relevamiento de políticas de intensificación sostenible en la Región e identificó y analizó uno o dos casos por país de estas políticas. Para ello tuvo que elaborar una guía de relevamiento de políticas de intensificación sostenible y una guía de pautas de los estudios de caso que tienen a su vez su valor metodológico para el trabajo con políticas públicas. En los estudios de caso de Argentina participaron también investigadores de INTA de la EEA San Juan: Juan Jesús Hernández, José Raúl Novello, Maximiliano Battistella y Juan Pablo Fili; y de la EEA Salta: Walter Mioni. Los estudios de caso realizados se presentan en el Anexo 4. El trabajo hizo énfasis en la contribución de la investigación pública al desarrollo de las políticas analizadas. Los casos muestran una importante contribución de la investigación pública a la identificación y caracterización técnica de los problemas abordados por las políticas y a la generación de soluciones tecnológicas. La fase de monitoreo y evaluación de los casos mostró un incipiente desarrollo, por lo que constituye un espacio amplio para que la investigación pública brinde contribuciones en el futuro.Centro de Investigación en Economía y ProspectivaFil: Gutiérrez, Nicolás.

Photography-based taxonomy is inadequate, unnecessary, and potentially harmful for biological sciences

The question whether taxonomic descriptions naming new animal species without type specimen(s) deposited in collections should be accepted for publication by scientific journals and allowed by the Code has already been discussed in Zootaxa (Dubois & Nemésio 2007; Donegan 2008, 2009; Nemésio 2009a–b; Dubois 2009; Gentile & Snell 2009; Minelli 2009; Cianferoni & Bartolozzi 2016; Amorim et al. 2016). This question was again raised in a letter supported by 35 signatories published in the journal Nature (Pape et al. 2016) on 15 September 2016. On 25 September 2016, the following rebuttal (strictly limited to 300 words as per the editorial rules of Nature) was submitted to Nature, which on 18 October 2016 refused to publish it. As we think this problem is a very important one for zoological taxonomy, this text is published here exactly as submitted to Nature, followed by the list of the 493 taxonomists and collection-based researchers who signed it in the short time span from 20 September to 6 October 2016

Search for new particles in events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A search is presented for new particles produced at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, using events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb(-1), collected in 2017-2018 with the CMS detector. Machine learning techniques are used to define separate categories for events with narrow jets from initial-state radiation and events with large-radius jets consistent with a hadronic decay of a W or Z boson. A statistical combination is made with an earlier search based on a data sample of 36 fb(-1), collected in 2016. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the standard model background expectation determined from control samples in data. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the branching fraction of an invisible decay of the Higgs boson, as well as constraints on simplified models of dark matter, on first-generation scalar leptoquarks decaying to quarks and neutrinos, and on models with large extra dimensions. Several of the new limits, specifically for spin-1 dark matter mediators, pseudoscalar mediators, colored mediators, and leptoquarks, are the most restrictive to date.Peer reviewe

Combined searches for the production of supersymmetric top quark partners in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A combination of searches for top squark pair production using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment, is presented. Signatures with at least 2 jets and large missing transverse momentum are categorized into events with 0, 1, or 2 leptons. New results for regions of parameter space where the kinematical properties of top squark pair production and top quark pair production are very similar are presented. Depending on themodel, the combined result excludes a top squarkmass up to 1325 GeV for amassless neutralino, and a neutralinomass up to 700 GeV for a top squarkmass of 1150 GeV. Top squarks with masses from 145 to 295 GeV, for neutralino masses from 0 to 100 GeV, with a mass difference between the top squark and the neutralino in a window of 30 GeV around the mass of the top quark, are excluded for the first time with CMS data. The results of theses searches are also interpreted in an alternative signal model of dark matter production via a spin-0 mediator in association with a top quark pair. Upper limits are set on the cross section for mediator particle masses of up to 420 GeV
