Desenmascaramiento, inmigración y neo-grotesco criollo: una aproximación a anclado en Madrid de Roberto Ibáñez

This paper is an analysis of Anclado en Madrid (1991), written by the Argentinean playwright and actor Roberto Ibanez. It focuses on how elements from the “grotesco criollo” tradition from the beginning of the XX Century develops later into the “neogrotesco criollo”. The article deals particularly with both the changes and permanence produced by the passage from one tradition to another. It takes into consideration how the development of a new tradition incorporates new visions of the world, the family as a whole, geographic space and the description of characters.En este trabajo realizamos un acercamiento a la obra teatral Anclado en Madrid (1991) del dramaturgo y actor argentino Roberto Ibañez. A través de nuestro análisis observaremos como los elementos de la tradición del “grotesco criollo” de principios del siglo XX se ha ido desarrollando y re-formulando hacia fines del mismo siglo en lo que se ha dado en llamar el “neo-grotesco criollo”. Principalmente nos referimos aquí a los cambios y permanencias que se producen por el pasaje del “grotesco criollo” al “neo-grotesco criollo”. Analizamos en este caso cómo la transposición y desarrollo de la primera tradición hacia la segunda incorpora una nueva visión de mundo y un uso inédito de elementos del grotesco criollo como los del núcleo familiar, el espacio geográfico y la caracterización de los personajes

The roasting process and place of cultivation influence the volatile fingerprint of Criollo cocoa from Amazonas, Peru

The Criollo cocoa bean is classified as “fine” or flavor cocoas, being perceived as aromatic or smooth with fruity, raisin, floral, spicy, nutty, molasses, and caramel notes. In the present work, gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was used to study the volatile fingerprint of roasted and unroasted Criollo cocoa from four Amazon districts: Nieva, Cajaruro, Copallín and La Peca located in the Amazon Region of Peru. The results showed that the main sensory perception of cocoa is fruit, and this decreases as the roasting intensity increases. A total of 96 volatile compounds were found, of which the esters had a greater presence in the volatile fingerprint of Criollo cocoa. Propyl acetate (3.5%), acetoin acetate (1.3%) and diethyl succinate (0.8%) were found as the characteristic compounds of Criollo cocoa analyzed, which give it its fruit perception. The linalool/benzaldehyde ratio was between 0.56 and 0.89 for La Peca and Cajaruro cocoa. Principal component analysis revealed that the Criollo cocoa in each district has a different volatile fingerprint, whether it is roasted or unroasted beans. The roasting process generates a greater differentiation of the volatile fingerprint of Criollo cocoa

A contemporary history of circus arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina: the post-dictatorial resurgence and revaluation of circus as a popular art

The purpose of this paper is to study the process of resurgence and redefinition of popular practices promoted in the city ofBuenos Aires,Argentina, in post- dictatorial years, through the case of circus arts. Therefore, I will first present some historical data that will enable understanding of the transitional legitimacy given to circus in the late nineteenth century and synthetically introduce the social processes that led circus into a process of retraction. Then I will focus on the social actors who recovered these artistic languages in the post- dictatorship, contextualizing their practices with the socio-political changes of the time. The analyses will center on the way in which young artists recovered certain elements of the past to give sense to the present activity and innovated in the artistic practice, legitimizing their practices and challenging their recognition.Fil: Infantino, Julieta Lorena.

Discovery of a large set of SNP and SSR genetic markers by high-throughput sequencing of pepper (Capsicum annuum)

Genetic markers based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are in increasing demand for genome mapping and fingerprinting of breeding populations in crop plants. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing provide the opportunity for whole-genome resequencing and identification of allelic variants by mapping the reads to a reference genome. However, for many species, such as pepper (Capsicum annuum), a reference genome sequence is not yet available. To this end, we sequenced the C. annuum cv. "Yolo Wonder" transcriptome using Roche 454 pyrosequencing and assembled de novo 23,748 isotigs and 60,370 singletons. Mapping of 10,886,425 reads obtained by the Illumina GA II sequencing of C. annuum cv. "Criollo de Morclos 334" to the "Yolo Wonder" transcriptome allowed for SNP identification. By setting a threshold value that allows selecting reliable SNPs with minimal loss of information, 11,849 reliable SNPs spread across 5919 isotigs were identified. In addition, 853 single sequence repeats were obtained. This information has been made available online

Efectos raciales y heterosis materna Criollo-Guzerat para crecimiento posdestete y características de la canal

Records from 52 calves born in Nayarit, México, were used to evaluate breed effects and Criollo-Guzerat maternal heterosis (MH) on feedlot performance and carcass traits. Progeny was born from Angus sires and Criollo (C, n=8), Guzerat (G, n=20), Criollo- Guzerat (CG, n=18), and Guzerat-Criollo (GC, n=6) cows. Response variables were initial weight (PIP), yearling weight (PAE), final weight (PEFIP), average daily gain (GADIP), feed efficiency (EFALI), rib eye (AOC), rib fat thickness (GRC), hot carcass weight (PCC), dressing percentage (PRC), kidney and pelvic fat (RP), yield grade (GR), cutability (RC), and retail yield (PTC). Analyses were carried out with the GLM procedure of SAS. Statistical Models for PIP, PAE, PEFIP, GADIP and EFALI included the fixed effects of sex of calf (S), year of trial, breed of sire of the cow (R1) and breed of dam of the cow (R2). Fixed effects fitted to models for AOC, GRC, PCC, PRC, RP, GR, RC y PTC were S, R1 and R2. Grandpaternal differences for breed effects were favorable (PPara estimar efectos raciales de abuelas y abuelos Criollo y Guzerat, así como heterosis materna (HM) Criollo-Guzerat sobre el comportamiento en engorda y características de la canal, se usaron crías de vacas Criollo (C, n=8), Guzerat (G, n=20), Criollo-Guzerat (CG, n=18) y Guzerat-Criollo (GC, n=6).

Interactions between nutrition and gastrointestinal infections with parasitic nematodes in goats

Parasitic nematodes of the digestive tract remain one of the main constraints to goat production both in temperate and tropical countries. The usual mode of control of these gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) based on the repeated use of anthelmintics is now strongly questioned because of the increasing development of resistance to these molecules. Among the alternative methods to anthelmintics currently available, the manipulation of host nutrition in order to improve the host resistance and/or resilience to parasitic infections seems to represent one of the most promising options to reduce the dependence on conventional chemotherapy and to favour the sustainable control of gastro intestinal nematode infections. This paper will review the available information on the interactions between nutrition and nematode parasitism in dairy or meat goats both in temperate and tropical conditions. It will refer to quantitative aspects of the diet (influence of the protein and/or energy parts) as well as to qualitative components (effects of plant secondary metabolites on worm biology) and will discuss the specificities of goats in regard of theses interactions
