Tradiciones democráticas e itinerarios estudiantiles : La Universidad de Buenos Aires durante el período de crisis (1996-2006)

El trabajo es producto de una investigación sobre la experiencia de estudiantes de las Facultades de Filosofía y Letras y de Sociales de la UBA, durante lo que se denomina el período de crisis (1996-2003). El mismo se centra en explorar los itinerarios, las reflexiones y las memorias de estudiantes sobre la vida universitaria durante este periodo y reconstruir trayectorias que dieran cuenta de un espectro heterogéneo y plural de experiencias, manifestando distintos modos de transitar la universidad. Lo que entra en tensión con las aspiraciones democráticas de los discursos públicos sobre la universidad

Por mano propia. La justicia policial de la provincia de Buenos Aires en el primer peronismo

La sanción del Código Penal Policial fue una pieza importante en el andamiaje jurídico por el cual el primer gobierno peronista procuró afianzar la profesionalización y disciplinamiento de las fuerzas de seguridad en las distintas jurisdicciones del país. Así, se organizó y se puso en marcha una nueva rama de la justicia bonaerense, paralela a la ordinaria, integrada completamente por policías retirados y en actividad, que se ocupó de los casos penales donde estuviesen implicados uno o más policías. Este trabajo analiza dicha experiencia, basándose en los casos sumariados y resueltos por la Justicia Policial mientras existió. En primer lugar se pone en contexto los fundamentos y propósitos que guiaron al peronismo para impulsar una justicia 'uniformada' que se ocupase de los excesos y falta a los deberes de los funcionarios policiales a nivel penal y administrativo. Luego se estudia su aplicación concreta en la provincia de Buenos Aires, indagando sobre los casos juzgados, su tratamiento, los actores, los fallos y los fines políticos perseguidos por esta justicia por y para policías

Recuperaciones y transformaciones de la herencia clásica en la poesía de Novalis : El problema del paso del tiempo

Hay ciertos puntos en los que la apropiación de Novalis de la tradición clásica resalta por algunos aspectos originales: frente a la angustia generada por la huida del tiempo, por ejemplo, las claras referencias de Novalis a la más reconocida tradición antigua superan, como sus referencias respecto de otros problemas, la recuperación de una imagen ilustrativa, o la cita, la apelación a la autoridad de la sabiduría de los antiguos, etc., y asumen el desafío de renovar su fuerza para un período distinto de la Historia y de explorar potencialidades novedosas de antiguas reflexiones. El experimento de este trabajo consiste en restablecer la conversación de Novalis con fuentes de la literatura clásica, fundamentalmente respecto del problema del envejecimiento, de la angustia del paso del tiempo, etc., y reflexionar en torno de las operaciones mediante las cuales esta herencia adopta en la poesía de Novalis un nuevo rumbo y nuevas potencialidades

Epístolas de Max Aub a Ignacio Soldevila Durante (y viceversa) : El devenir de una preciosa amistad

A las migraciones de intelectuales como consecuencia de la Guerra Civil española, iniciadas ya en 1936, se sumaron posteriormente las de universitarios que desarrollaron su tarea allende las fronteras. Entre ellos, Ignacio Soldevila Durante, valenciano, quien se instaló en la ciudad de Québec en 1956. Dos años antes había dirigido una carta al escritor Max Aub, del que con el tiempo se convertiría en amigo y en su mejor especialista. El epistolario Aub-Soldevila (1954-1972) pone sobre el tapete, entre otros datos, detalles biográficos y elementos relacionados con la obra del escritor y con aquellas decisivas décadas del pasado siglo; asimismo, enuncia rasgos definitorios de cuantos la guerra arrojó a las playas del éxodo.

Long-term environmental time series of continuously collected data in hydroelectric reservoirs in Brazil

Long-term environmental time series of continuously collected data are fundamental to identify and classify pulses and determine their role in aquatic systems. This paper presents a web based archive for limnological and meteorological data collected by integrated system for environmental monitoring (SIMA). The environmental parameters that are measured by SIMA are: chlorophyll-a (µg/L), water surface temperature (ºC), water column temperature by a thermistor string (ºC), turbidity (NTU), pH, dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L), electric conductivity (µS/cm), wind speed (m/s) and direction (º), relative humidity (%), short wave radiation (W/m**2), barometric pressure (hPa). The data are collected in preprogrammed time interval (1 hour) and are transmitted by satellite in quasi-real time for any user in a range of 2500 km from the acquisition point. So far 11 hydroelectric reservoirs being monitored using the SIMA buoy. A basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) for some parameters and an example of time series were displayed. The main observed problem are divided into sensors and satellite. The sensors problems is due to the environmental characteristics of each water body. In acid waters the sensors of water quality rapidly degrade, and the collected data are invalid. Another problem is the infestation of periphyton in the sensor. SIMA buoy makes the parameters readings every hour, or 24 readings per day. However, not always received all readings because the system requires satellites passing over the buoy antenna to complete the transfer and due to the satellite constellation position, some locations inland are not met as often as necessary to complete all transmissions. This is the more often causes for lack in the time series.

(Table 1) Geochemical composition of surface waters obtained aboard the R/V Rift along the Volga-Caspian canal

The Volga River discharge consists of the waters transferred by fast currents through channels and the waters which are passing through the shallow areas of the delta overgrown by cane. Using the hydrochemical data, it is possible to track distribution of the waters modified by 'biofilters' of macrophytes in the delta shallows starting from the external edge of the delta. The main distinctive features of these waters are the high content of dissolved oxygen, the abnormally high values of the pH, and the low content of dissolved inorganic carbon (both total and as CO2). These waters extend in the shape of 1 to 3-km-wide strips at a distance of 20-40 km from the outer border of the delta. The analysis of the data obtained during the expeditions run by the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2003-2009, along with archived and published data, show that such 'modified' waters occur almost constantly along the outer edge of the Volga River delta.

Sediment composition and sedimentation rates of four Holes in ODP Leg 166

To date, work on the Great Bahama Bank's western, leeward margin has centred chiefly on seismic-scale expressions of carbonate sequences and systems tracts. However, periplatform, slope sediments also exhibit very well developed cyclicity on scales of decimetres to several metres. It is these small-scale, high-frequency cycles within the larger-scale facies successions of the Quaternary which form the main topic of this paper. Previous studies have shown that the small-scale cycles correlate to the orbitally forced, high-frequency sea-level changes. Therefore these cycles should indicate how sea level has affected the slope development and thus platform-margin evolution during this period. Through detailed, high-resolution sequence stratigraphy of the Great Bahama Bank's leeward margin, obtained via delta18O isotope and mineralogical (XRD) analyses, confined by U/Th dating and nannofossil bioevents, a greater understanding of the bedding geometries within the Pleistocene-Holocene seismic sequences and clues as to the nature of the slope development has been achieved. The high-resolution seismic profiles indicate that since the Plio-Pleistocene change in geometry, in which the Great Bahama Bank developed into a rimmed platform, continued steepening and subsequent progradation of the leeward margin has typified slope development during the Quaternary, which is described as an accretionary slope. However, on the basis of our observations we conclude that only the early to lower middle Pleistocene section (isotope stages 45-20) and the Holocene (isotope stage 1) of the leeward margin is accretionary. This indicates that a degree of erosion and/or by-passing has occurred on the leeward margin since the lower middle Pleistocene (isotope stage 19). During the first part of this period (isotope stages 19-12) erosion and/or by-passing occurred in the middle to lower slope regions and toe-of-slope. By the end of the upper middle to late Pleistocene phase (isotope stages 11-2) erosion also occurred on the upper slope. This erosion by currents at the toe-of-slope and oversteepening of the upper and middle slopes have led to back-cutting upslope and resulted in the progressive retreat of the toe-of-slope towards the platform to the east. However, the rise in sea level since the Last Glacial Maximum to its present-day level has allowed high productivity on the platform top during the Holocene and the deposition of a thick sediment wedge on the slope and sedimentation across the entire leeward flanks. This has led to the redevelopment of an accretionary slope and continued westward progradation of the Great Bahama Bank's western, leeward margin.
