Personal Wealth and Investment Accounts: Tucuman, Argentina, 1860-1870

Este trabajo se enmarca en un proyecto mayor que estudia la distribución y composición de la riqueza en la provincia de Tucumán durante el siglo XIX. El recorte cronológico corresponde a un punto de inflexión en tanto que la década de 1860 es representativa de los tramos finales de un proceso de transición en la economía y sociedad provincial que desembocó, al promediar el decenio de 1870, en un nuevo modelo productivo impuesto por la agroindustria azucarera. En esta ocasión nos proponemos profundizar el análisis de la composición del capital por rubro de inversión (tierra, ganado, comercio y manufactura) y por segmentos de riqueza (los más ricos, medianamente ricos, menos ricos) en el departamento Capital, donde se concentraban tanto las actividades comerciales como un importante desarrollo agrícola y manufacturero.This work is part of a larger project which studies the distribution and composition of wealth in the state of Tucuman during the nineteenth century. The chronological cut corresponds to a turning point because the '60s are representative of the final stages of a transition process in the economy and provincial society, process that led, in the '70s, in a new production model imposed by the sugar industry. This time we intend to deepen the analysis of the composition of capital by investment categories (land, livestock, trade, manufacture) and wealth segments (the richest, moderately rich, and less wealthy) in the Capital department which focused on both the commercial activities such as a significant manufacturing and agricultural development.Fil: Fandos, Cecilia Alejandra.

Currency Circulation in Northern Argentina After Independence: Tucuman Between 1820 and 1850

The study of monetary phenomena in Argentina between 1810 and 1850 is complicated by the lack of historical sources and the coexistence of various currencies. According to previous research, the north of the country and specially Tucumán have been strongly influenced by Bolivian monetary policy and its currency devaluation throught the issue of coins Know as «feble». However, so far, a quantitative analysis of the circulation of money in this region for this period does not exist. This article shows that probate inventories have a great potential for advancing the exploration of these issues and presents an analysis of all the inventories available for Tucumán between 1820 and 1850. With this information the demand for money for this period is estimated and we confirm that money in circulation would have become more abundant in the 1840s, the period of highest levels of issue of «feble» coins, but without an obvious break with previous decades.El estudio de los fenómenos monetarios en Argentina entre 1818 y 1850 es dificultoso por la escasez de fuentes y por la coexistencia de diversos tipos de moneda. Según la literatura, el norte del país se vio fuertemente influenciado por la política monetaria boliviana de emisión de moneda feble entre 1830 y 1870 y la provincia de Tucumán habría tenido un rol especialmente importante en este proceso. Sin embargo, hasta hoy, no existen aproximaciones cuantitativas sobre la circulación de moneda para esa región en ese período. Este artículo muestra que los inventarios post-mortem tienen un gran potencial para explorar estas cuestiones y presenta los resultados del análisis de todos los inventarios disponibles en Tucumán entre 1820 y 1850. Con esta información estimamos una demanda de dinero para este período y confirmamos que la moneda se habría hecho más abundante a partir de 1840, coincidiendo con la mayor emisión de feble, pero sin una ruptura radical con décadas anteriores

La metacognición y el mejoramiento de la enseñanza de química universitaria

En este trabajo, que es parte de una investigación más extensa, sobre mejoramiento de la enseñanza de química universitaria, se presentan algunos resultados obtenidos luego de aplicar una nueva propuesta de enseñanza, destinada a la comprensión y resolución de problemas sobre el tema «Soluciones». Con el objeto de facilitar el aprendizaje significativo, la propuesta de trabajo incluye el uso de las denominadas herramientas metacognitivas que permitan aplicar metodologías conducentes al logro de dichos aprendizajes por parte de los estudiantes. Luego de aplicar las mencionadas herramientas, se procedió a realizar la evaluación de los estudiantes participantes para obtener datos sobre los logros alcanzados y sus aprendizajes. El análisis de los resultados muestra que el uso del nuevo enfoque instruccional ayuda a los estudiantes en sus procesos de aprendizaje, en la medida que se vayan haciendo conscientes de los mecanismos que se utilizan para obtener aprendizaje significativo.This work, which is part of a more extensive research project on the improvement of Chemistry teaching at university level, presents the results obtained by applying an innovative teaching methodology. This methodology was designed with the objective of helping students to better understand and solve problems regarding the topic "Solutions". In order to facilitate learning, the proposed methodology includes the use of metacognitive tools (concept maps, Gowin's Vee and clinical interviews), which allows the students to apply significant learning methodologies. After applying these tools, we evaluated the students in order to measure their achievements and their learning. The analysis of the results shows that the use of this new instructional approach helps the students in their learning process because they become aware of the mechanism they use to achieve significant learning

User Requirements and Relational Modelling for a Non-Theatrical Cinema and Video-Art Cataloguing System

We describe an ongoing effort to design and implement a computerized cataloguing system for a laboratory dedicated to the resto- ration and archiving of non-theatrical cinema and video art. The goal is to evolve the current information system taking into account three different aspects: (i) national and international standards and workflows concerning preservation, cataloguing and archiving of film and contem- porary art; (ii) specific needs emerging by daily experimentation in film and video restoration practice; (iii) the interoperability with film archives and contemporary art museums. A flexible conceptual Relational model based on Codd\u2019s RM/T is proposed as a first step towards the development of a system meeting the unique requirements of non-feature films and videos

Video Arte in Italia anni Settanta. Produzioni, esposizioni, teorie

Il saggio proposto intende affrontare il contesto relativo alla storia della video arte in Italia negli anni Settanta approfondendo i contesti di produzione ed esposizione delle opere prodotte attraverso, in particolar modo, le attivit\ue0 dei centri di produzione privati e pubblici diffusi sul territorio italiano (Videobelisco A.V.R., art/tapes/22, Centro Video Arte, Studio 970/2, galleria del Cavallino). Questi centri, dati i costi inaccessibili dei dispositivi di registrazione, cos\uec come la necessit\ue0 di disporre di competenze tecniche specifiche, sono di fondamentale importanza per consentire agli artisti la sperimentazione con il nuovo dispositivo di registrazione. Sono inoltre quest\u2019ultimi a prendersi carico in molti casi della distribuzione delle opere in contesti espositivi e rassegne in Italia e all\u2019estero e a contribuire, insieme ad alcuni critici d\u2019arte, alle prime teorizzazioni sull\u2019uso del nuovo dispositivo in ambito artistico. Saranno analizzate in conclusione alcune delle cause della fine di queste esperienze nel passaggio dagli anni Settanta agli Ottanta, quando cambieranno i sistemi di produzione, cos\uec come i contesti espositivi, per lo pi\uf9 festival dedicati
