Los territorios municipales de Mendoza frente a las prácticas de planificación participativa

The province of Mendoza, in the west of the Argentine Republic is in a favorable political conjuncture to strengthen the territorial planning in the municipalities. This is due to the approval of the Provincial Law 8051 of Territorial Ordering and Municipal Ground Uses that establish terms to formulate a Plan Provincial Territorial Ordering and Plans; against this background the municipalities have an annotated time to elaborate their own Plan. On the other hand the civil society is giving awareness signs on its protagónico paper like controller of the public policies, generating propitious scopes for the participativas social practices and circulation of the knowledge. This verifies in the social reactions front to decisions that can affect the atmosphere and the resources of the territory. In spite of this favorable context to fortify the instances of social participation it jeopardize with projects based on territorial intelligence, are observed very different institutional answers. The greater obstacles are within such municipalities, lack territorial conscience in the municipal agents and the handling of the information is fragmented. Taking into account the marks from reference that affect the provincial territorial policy, an investigation was made in order to analyze the practices of participativa planning in municipal scopes. Interviews, studies of case and qualification of municipal agents were combined, which allowed triangular results and of obtaining a socioterritorial differentiation of the municipalities of Mendoza. This result is a departure point to consider at the time of making proposals for a work agenda or trying transformations towards a new form to govern, where the associate management is multiplied. Before a same frame of provincial reference, the particular answers of the municipalities are improving, but the majority requires to cross a gradual own way with the qualification of the human resource and with a renovation of guidelines in relation to the local community

Víctor Mercante y su proyecto educativo : Reforma de Saavedra-Lamas

Considerando que es posible pensar la historia de la educación como un camino para lograr reconstruir la producción y circulación de ideas de una determinada época, el presente trabajo tiene como objeto no solo iniciar el estudio de un pedagogo como lo es Víctor Mercante (1870-1934) involucrado en la educación argentina de finales del Siglo XIX y principios del XX-sino comenzar a recorrer una trayectoria profesional permeada de las discusiones y debates de la época. Mercante aporta una mirada que presenta aspectos innovadores en clave de un período histórico determinado rico por el abanico de perspectivas culturales que en él se concentran. Con este objeto hemos trabajado en el análisis del contenido de la reforma educativa Saavedra-Lamas de la cual es mentor y en su sustento teórico, a partir del propio pensamiento de Mercante y de las condiciones en las que la misma fue implementada y en las que fue derogada. La intención final es alcanzar una explicación que de cuenta de las condiciones de la relación entre corrientes y tradiciones intelectuales, fuerzas políticas y actores sociales en el marco de un proceso de reforma educativa

TIC en el aprendizaje de la historia : Utilización e historización de estas herramientas en el capitalismo cognitivo

En el presente trabajo se intentará desarrollar un análisis en torno a la potencialidad de incluir en la formación de futuros docentes e investigadores de historia lo que podemos denominar educación con medios y educación en medios. Esto, por un lado, consistiría en la introducción didáctica de tecnologías de información-comunicación -entendiendo por ello la importancia vital para nuestro oficio de apropiarse de herramientas que posibiliten el trabajo con fuentes de diversa índole y en diferentes soportes- y, por otro lado, la realización en el espacio del aula de una historización que problematice y contextualice los espacios de producción y circulación de dichas tecnologías en el sistema capitalista posterior a la crisis económica mundial de la década del 70. En una primera instancia, se hará una revisión de la génesis de esta fase para luego reflexionar respecto de casos concretos dentro del ámbito universitario local que proponen construcciones colaborativas de contenidos, con empleo de edición de imagen y sonido digital, vinculación dentro de redes sociales, socialización de conocimiento. Se postula la posibilidad de que estas prácticas supongan elementos que obturen los fundamentos restrictivos del capitalismo cognitivo

Configurando narrativas históricas y preguntas directrices, para un abordaje sistémico sobre la Revolución Copernicana: una propuesta para fortalecer la alfabetización científica

En este estudio, tuvimos el objetivo de elaborar narrativas históricas y preguntas guías enmarcadas en la Revolución Copernicana, como un aporte para el fortalecimiento de la Alfabetización Científica (A.C). Sabemos que en un mundo incierto, acelerado, y sujeto a continuas transformaciones, se ha tornado una necesidad imperante, entre otros, promover la generación de recursos y/o espacios que permitan valorar al sujeto en formación en su integralidad. Sobre este escenario, y con base en los aportes teóricos y empíricos de alguno(as) investigadores(as) que han legitimado la A.C, la Naturaleza de la Ciencia (NdC) y la Enseñanza por Investigación como áreas de reflexión, producción y transferencia de conocimiento científico, pudimos elaborar y/o adaptar directrices metodológicas que nortearon nuestras diferentes etapas consolidadas. De esta manera, iniciamos una reconstrucción histórica-epistemológica general sobre algunos hechos enmarcados en la Revolución Copernicana, lo cual, nos permitió reflexionar y seleccionar algunos aspectos acorde a nuestra idea de NdC y convicción de educación que, al final, se materializaron en narrativas históricas y preguntas directrices desde diversos planos de desarrollo del pensamiento científico. Así, como resultado de este proceso, elaboramos 6 narrativas históricas y 126 preguntas directrices (55 en el plano instrumental-operativo, 36 en el plano personal-significativo y 35 en el plano relacional social-cultural). Finalmente, creemos que esta propuesta teórica de carácter pedagógica-didáctica y epistemológica, además de ser un recurso flexible a adaptación para complementar actividades en el aula de ciencias y/o física, se constituye como un material de reflexión o directriz para la producción de otros materiales análogos con base en la investigación didáctica

Líneas posibles de avance del modelo de Sraffa

Diversas consideraciones históricas e ideológicas han impedido la difusión de la obra fundamental de Sraffa Producción de mercancías por medio de mercancías. La obra de Sraffa ha sido estudiada fundamentalmente en sus aspectos matemáticos por economistas tales como Garegnani, Abraham-Frois, Pasinetti, Steedman, Kurz, Roncaglia, etc. pero sin desarrollar apenas sus aspectos teóricos y económicos. En este artículo se hacen algunas consideraciones sobre posibles desarrollos del libro de Sraffa a partir de su propio esquema de pensamiento.

Evidence and implications of multiple paradigms in accounting knowledge production

This paper uses evidence gathered in two perception studies ofAustralasian and British accounting academics to reflect on aspects of the knowledge production systemwithin accounting academe. We provide evidence of the representation of multiple paradigms in many journals that are scored by participants as being of high quality. Indeed most of the journals we surveyed are perceived by accounting academics as incorporating research from more than one paradigm. It is argued that this ‘catholic’ approach by journal editors and the willingness of many respondents in our surveys to score journals highly on material they publish from both paradigm categories reflects a balanced acceptance of the multi-paradigmatic state of accounting research. Our analysis is set within an understanding of systems of accounting knowledge production as socially constructed and as playing an important role in the distribution of power and reward in the academy. We explore the impact of our results on concerns emerging from the work of a number of authors who carefully expose localised 'elites'. The possibilities for a closer relationship between research emerging from a multi-paradigm discipline and policy setting and practice are also discussed. The analysis provides a sense of optimism that the broad constituency of accounting academics operates within an environment conducive for the exchange of ideas. That optimism is dampened by concerns about the impact of local 'elites' and the need for more research on their impact on accounting academe.

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for castor (Ricinus communis L.), an important oleaginous species for biodiesel production

Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is an important oleaginous plant from both economic and social points of view. The seeds contain an oil with excellent properties for industrial uses. This paper presents the main results of a study aiming to develop microsatellite markers for castor. Twelve new polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized in 38 genotypes accessions from the castor germplasm of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Company (EMBRAPA). Knowledge on the genetic diversity of castor can be used to gain a better understanding on genetic diversity conservation, and germplasm management, guiding breeding programs and conservation strategies.

An Experimental Model of Meningoencephalomyelitis by Rocio Flavivirus in Balb/C Mice: Inflammatory Response, Cytokine Production, and Histopathology

Rocio virus (ROCV) is a flavivirus, probably transmitted by Culex mosquitoes and maintained in nature as a zoonosis of wild birds. Rocio virus caused a human epidemic of severe encephalitis that lasted from 1973 to 1980 in the Ribeira valley, in the southeastern coast of Brazil. After this outbreak, serologic evidence of ROCV circulation has been reported and public health authorities are concerned about a return of ROCV outbreaks in Brazil. We show here a study on the pathogenesis and the physiopathology of ROCV disease in the central nervous system of a Balb/C young adult mice experimental model. The animals were intraperitoneally infected by ROCV and followed from 0 to 9 days after infection, when all of them died. Nervous tissue samples were collected from infected animals for immunohistochemistry and molecular biology analysis. We observed the virus in the central nervous system, the inflammatory changes induced by Th1 and Th2 cytokines, and the final irreversible damage of nervous tissues by neuronal degeneration and apoptosis. These findings can help to better understand the pathogenesis and physiopathology of the human meningoencephalomyelitis by ROCV and other flaviviruses.
