Laying the foundation for a digital archaeology in Argentina: The role of e-research infrastructures
En el marco de las políticas públicas relacionadas con el desarrollo de la ciencia y técnica en la Argentina, es cada vez más evidente una orientación dirigida a la implementación de un modelo de ciencia abierta basado en la potencialidad ofrecida por los medios digitales. La arqueología no ha sido ajena a esto y, consciente o inconscientemente, se ha volcado hacia una práctica mediada por “lo digital”. Para este modelo de ciencia, la accesibilidad a los datos primarios y la construcción de infraestructuras digitales para la investigación son prioritarias. Siguiendo esta idea, se implementó el Repositorio Digital Institucional Suquía (IDACOR, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba-CONICET), centrado en datos arqueológicos. En esta infraestructura digital se incluyen diversos tipos de información, que comparten una característica común: su difícil acceso, tanto físico como virtual, en su formato original. Bases de datos, informes, imágenes de excavaciones, de objetos y colecciones arqueológicas, son algunas de las clases de archivos contenidos en el repositorio. Este nuevo tipo de infraestructura se propone como un elemento de cambio en cómo se piensa y realiza la práctica arqueológica, ya que permite el uso y reúso de datos generados por financiamiento público, tanto para la investigación arqueológica, la gestión del patrimonio y la divulgación científica, así como para interesados en la temática.In Argentina, public policies related to scientific and technological development foster an open science model that is based on the potential offered by digital media. Archaeological practice, mainly supported by public funding, has accordingly turned towards a digitally-mediated practice by. For this model of science, accessibility to primary data and to e-research infrastructures is a priority. To this end, the Suquía Institutional Digital Repository (IDACOR, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba-CONICET), focused on the archiving of archaeological data, was implemented. This e-research infrastructure includes various types of information that share a common characteristic: Low accessibility, both physical and virtual, in its original format. Databases, reports, images of excavations, archaeological objects and collections are just a few of the file types that can be found in the repository. This new infrastructure is proposed as a game-changer in how archaeological practice is thought of and carried out, since it allows the use and reuse of data generated by public funding for archaeological research, heritage management, and scientific knowledge dissemination.Fil: Izeta, Andres Dario.

The tale of TILs in breast cancer : a report from the International Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group
The advent of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in modern oncology has significantly improved survival in several cancer settings.
A subgroup of women with breast cancer (BC) has immunogenic infiltration of lymphocytes with expression of programmed deathligand
1 (PD-L1). These patients may potentially benefit from ICI targeting the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 signaling axis. The
use of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as predictive and prognostic biomarkers has been under intense examination. Emerging
data suggest that TILs are associated with response to both cytotoxic treatments and immunotherapy, particularly for patients with
triple-negative BC. In this review from The International Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group, we discuss (a) the biological
understanding of TILs, (b) their analytical and clinical validity and efforts toward the clinical utility in BC, and (c) the current status of
PD-L1 and TIL testing across different continents, including experiences from low-to-middle-income countries, incorporating also
the view of a patient advocate. This information will help set the stage for future approaches to optimize the understanding and
clinical utilization of TIL analysis in patients with BC.The National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia; the Cure; the Royal Australasian College of Physicians; the NIH/NCI ; the National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia Endowed Chair; the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, New York and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).www.nature.com/npjbcanceram2022Immunolog

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
