El correlato de los cambios del campo político argentino en la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo

La violencia política y las modalidades represivas experimentadas en Argentina durante el siglo XX ha tenido su traducción particular en el ámbito de la educación superior. Distintos actores universitarios fueron participes o víctimas, desde lugares distintos, de formas particulares de represión estatal. El ámbito universitario, como espacio de disputa política tanto en contextos democráticos como dictatoriales, fue el escenario de sanciones, expulsiones y cesantías, pero también de persecuciones, asesinatos y desapariciones. Particularmente, el periodo de autoritarismo que tuvo lugar en Argentina entre 1976 y 1983 es caracterizado como uno de los más sombríos de toda la historia del país, incluyendo al campo académico y al espacio universitario. Asimismo, este período de nuestra historia reciente fue antecedido por un tiempo de gran apertura a la participación política y el surgimiento de proyectos "de liberación" que atravesaron la vida institucional en todos los niveles. Tanto en los gobiernos democráticos como en los de facto, la direccionalidad política determinó la educación superior y transformó profundamente la vida en las universidades públicas. Nos preguntamos qué correlación existen entre los procesos de políticos nacionales y las transformaciones institucionales de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, que se tradujeron a su vez en mecanismos de depuración violenta.Fil: Salim, Roberto Bernardo .

The ivory tower over an informal settlement: a look into university-society relationship through a specific case study of territorial appropriation during the 1960’s, Mendoza, Argentina

El presente trabajo propone un cruce poco frecuente entre el campo de los estudios sociales de la ciencia, de las políticas universitarias y el de la producción de territorio. Presenta algunas claves para desentrañar las dinámicas de la relación universidad/sociedad a la luz de un caso concreto de disputas por la apropiación territorial entre la UNCuyo y comunidades de un asentamiento popular de la ciudad de Mendoza, el Barrio Flores Oeste. A partir de una reconstrucción histórico estructural, analiza las modalidades que fueron adoptando las funciones de investigación y extensión como formas privilegiadas de vinculación con la sociedad. Luego pone el foco en la segunda mitad de la década de 1960, tiempo en que fue fundado el campus de la universidad allí donde residía un nutrido conjunto de familias. Analiza el proceso de elitización del espacio que trajo aparejado aquel proyecto político académico en línea con los postulados desarrollistas. Asimismo, destaca la existencia de redes subalternas de agentes que, en paralelo, promovían prácticas disruptivas junto a los sectores populares ofreciendo resistencia al modelo modernizador de la época. Visibiliza las tensiones entre la política universitaria y aquellos conflictos políticos, sociales, culturales y territoriales que puede producir.This paper proposes an intersection between social studies of science, university policy and territory production fields. The findings suggest mechanisms to unravel the university-society relationship dynamics through a specific case study of a conflict over territorial appropriation between the Cuyo National University and the communities of a popular settlement, the Flores Oeste neighborhood, in Mendoza City, Argentina. By starting with a historical-structural reconstruction, the paper analyzes the diverse roles university research and outreach functions played as privileged ways in connecting the university with society. It then focuses on the time when the University Campus was founded on the land where a large group of families were already settled. It also analyses the space gentrification process as a product of a political-academic project, following developmental schemes. In addition, it highlights the existence of alternative agent’s that promoted disruptive practices along grassroots sectors who offered resistance to the modernizing model in force at the time. This paper exposes the tensions between university polices and the political, cultural, social and territorial conflicts resulting from them.Fil: Molina, Emilia Elisa.

La mirada de los otros: Notas sobre la evaluación in situ del Programa de Incentivos (PROINCE)

El presente trabajo deriva de una investigación mayor y colectiva del Centro de Estudios de la Circulación del Conocimiento Científico (CECIC) cuyos primeros resultados se sistematizaron en el libro Culturas Evaluativas. Impactos y Dilemas del Programa de Incentivos a Docentes Investigadores (PROINCE) en Argentina (2003-2018). El objetivo de éste fue poner bajo la lupa al PROINCE, la política evaluativa que perita y puntúa el rol investigador de docentes de las universidades nacionales (UUNN) de Argentina. En este artículo retomamos distintos aspectos vinculados a la evaluación y a las/los evaluadora/ es. Nos centraremos en el funcionamiento de una de las Comisiones Regionales de Categorización para observar in situ la maquinaria institucional del PROINCE, la normativa que regula el programa, las tensiones que genera la praxis evaluativa, los roles que se asumen en la mesa de debate y la forma en que se dirimen los conflictos. Nuestro trabajo implicó la observación de la labor de un conjunto amplio de Comités de Evaluación de la Regional Centro Oeste (CRC-CO), a lo largo de ocho jornadas, con un equipo de investigadores/ as adiestrados en la práctica de la observación participante. Este trabajo produjo dieciséis notas de observación proporcionando una “fotografía escrita” del escenario en estudio (Erlandson y otros, 1993). También se realizaron quince entrevistas semiestructuradas a evaluadoras/es y una a un informante clave . Asimismo, para la realización de este estudio fueron construidas un conjunto de bases de datos de elaboración propia sobre los evaluadoras/es.Fil: Bayle, Paola Adriana.

Infected pancreatic necrosis: outcomes and clinical predictors of mortality. A post hoc analysis of the MANCTRA-1 international study

: The identification of high-risk patients in the early stages of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is critical, because it could help the clinicians to adopt more effective management strategies. We conducted a post hoc analysis of the MANCTRA-1 international study to assess the association between clinical risk factors and mortality among adult patients with IPN. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify prognostic factors of mortality. We identified 247 consecutive patients with IPN hospitalised between January 2019 and December 2020. History of uncontrolled arterial hypertension (p = 0.032; 95% CI 1.135-15.882; aOR 4.245), qSOFA (p = 0.005; 95% CI 1.359-5.879; aOR 2.828), renal failure (p = 0.022; 95% CI 1.138-5.442; aOR 2.489), and haemodynamic failure (p = 0.018; 95% CI 1.184-5.978; aOR 2.661), were identified as independent predictors of mortality in IPN patients. Cholangitis (p = 0.003; 95% CI 1.598-9.930; aOR 3.983), abdominal compartment syndrome (p = 0.032; 95% CI 1.090-6.967; aOR 2.735), and gastrointestinal/intra-abdominal bleeding (p = 0.009; 95% CI 1.286-5.712; aOR 2.710) were independently associated with the risk of mortality. Upfront open surgical necrosectomy was strongly associated with the risk of mortality (p < 0.001; 95% CI 1.912-7.442; aOR 3.772), whereas endoscopic drainage of pancreatic necrosis (p = 0.018; 95% CI 0.138-0.834; aOR 0.339) and enteral nutrition (p = 0.003; 95% CI 0.143-0.716; aOR 0.320) were found as protective factors. Organ failure, acute cholangitis, and upfront open surgical necrosectomy were the most significant predictors of mortality. Our study confirmed that, even in a subgroup of particularly ill patients such as those with IPN, upfront open surgery should be avoided as much as possible.

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass

Impacts of the Tropical Pacific/Indian Oceans on the Seasonal Cycle of the West African Monsoon

The current consensus is that drought has developed in the Sahel during the second half of the twentieth century as a result of remote effects of oceanic anomalies amplified by local land–atmosphere interactions. This paper focuses on the impacts of oceanic anomalies upon West African climate and specifically aims to identify those from SST anomalies in the Pacific/Indian Oceans during spring and summer seasons, when they were significant. Idealized sensitivity experiments are performed with four atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). The prescribed SST patterns used in the AGCMs are based on the leading mode of covariability between SST anomalies over the Pacific/Indian Oceans and summer rainfall over West Africa. The results show that such oceanic anomalies in the Pacific/Indian Ocean lead to a northward shift of an anomalous dry belt from the Gulf of Guinea to the Sahel as the season advances. In the Sahel, the magnitude of rainfall anomalies is comparable to that obtained by other authors using SST anomalies confined to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. The mechanism connecting the Pacific/Indian SST anomalies with West African rainfall has a strong seasonal cycle. In spring (May and June), anomalous subsidence develops over both the Maritime Continent and the equatorial Atlantic in response to the enhanced equatorial heating. Precipitation increases over continental West Africa in association with stronger zonal convergence of moisture. In addition, precipitation decreases over the Gulf of Guinea. During the monsoon peak (July and August), the SST anomalies move westward over the equatorial Pacific and the two regions where subsidence occurred earlier in the seasons merge over West Africa. The monsoon weakens and rainfall decreases over the Sahel, especially in August.Peer reviewe
