This document is part of a research project that proposes an evaluation and modeling of transportation systems in AMBA Sur through geomatics applications, which also proposes to make prospective contributions to the sustainable planning and territorial ordering of urban mobility and transportation. Background information is articulated regarding 1) the relevance of geographic information and computer systems for decision-making in territorial management and geomatics as a field of knowledge; 2) territorial planning and its sustainable dimension; and 3) urban mobility, transportation, and logistics in the regional context of study and the current international urban agenda. The objective of this article is to present advances regarding urban diagnosis and the current mobility and transportation system in AMBA Sur to offer useful guidelines for public planning and territorial ordering policies from a sustainable approach based on the geomatic modeling of geographic information. The territorial cut covers the area of direct influence of the corridor formed by Avenida Los Quilmes, Avenida Calchaquí, and Provincial Route 36 in the districts of Quilmes, Florencio Varela, and Berazategui, where three intermodal nodes of regional hierarchy are configured: Bernal Triangle (Quilmes), Varela Crossing (Florencio Varela), and Gutiérrez Rotunda Node (Berazategui); especially deepening a comprehensive urban diagnostic analysis of mobility and transportation in the Rotonda de Gutiérrez Node (Berazategui). Based on a research strategy of methodological triangulation, the aim is to achieve the identification, compilation, and analysis of available secondary information through field surveys and systematization of information to generate a georeferenced database.

Ports inserted in urban-metropolitan areas maintain complexities regarding the dynamics of large-scale infrastructure and subsidiary facilities and, at the same time, benefit from the intermodality of transport that supplies urban and regional centralities, thus generating dissimilar arguments in the approach to land use planning in general and urban and port planning in particular. The paper is part of a research project under development that addresses port territorial transformations, including the identification of Urban Port Areas (UPA) and their physical-functional and socioenvironmental analysis. Within this framework, the objective is to analyze the regulations in six UPAs in the interjurisdiction of Puerto La Plata (PLP), observing the impact of land use on urban and port dynamics. Methodologically, it is organized in two parts: i) the insertion of PLP is described and the territory is characterized; ii) six UPAs in the districts of Ensenada and Berisso are identified, analyzing the converging regulations in the jurisdiction of PLP (Ensenada, Berisso and PLP's Regulatory Plan). The main results show the coexistence of uses and activities and the limitations regarding port and industrial activity in residential urban areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "Introduction. Territorial Planning and Policies. Infrastructure, transportation and habitat in southern RMBA" published in the magazine Geograficando in May 2024, addresses the importance of Territorial Planning as a political-technical instrument to plan actions in the territory. Different theoretical and practical approaches on the subject are discussed, highlighting the relevance of the territorial dimension in the study of social processes and conflicts. The special dossier of the magazine focuses on aspects such as land use, mobility and metropolitan transportation, habitat and intermunicipal management in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires, with an emphasis on the southern area.

The present article is based on the understanding that water conflicts around urban floods emerge from a multiplicity of causes, but mainly respond to climate change effects. It is part of a research line in development that analyzes urban flooding problems in Gran La Plata. In this context, the investigation was done on two scales: the first one based on the three GLP legal jurisdictions, and the second one based on El Gato and Maldonado stream watersheds, in La Plata city. The objective of this work is to formalize territorial intervention strategies for the strengthening of urban resilience, with the Maldonado Stream Watershed being the object of study. The methodological strategy was ground on the elaboration of the area´s diagnosis, recognizing weaknesses and strengths to determine strategies of intervention (guidelines) that contribute to the mitigation of the risk by flood, increasing its capacity of resilience and contributing to the construction of the sustainable habitat. The tool used for data processing, analysis and construction was the Geographic Information System (GIS) The research results are general strategies (to various areas of vulnerability), and specific strategies for the case study (in relation to the physical-environmental dimension considering the current regulations, land uses and accessibility) and the construction of cartography (Diagnosis and Guidelines maps).

Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is currently reserved for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis and high surgical risk. One major limiting factor related to TAVI procedural complications is conduction abnormalities and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation. Objectives: Evaluate the incidence of new conduction disturbances and pacemaker indications in patients with TAVI CoreValve® prosthesis (Medtronic Inc. Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States). Methods: We included 28 patients, mean age 80 years. ECG parameters were evaluated previous and after implantation. All patients were monitorized during TAVI. Follow up Holter monitoring was performed at one, 6 and 12 months after the procedure and we also evaluated telemetry of implanted pacemaker. Results: In previous ECG we found 7 patients had right bundle branch block and 7 patients had left bundle brunch block (LBBB). The post implant ECG showed 7 new LBBB: 3 during valvuloplasty and 4 on the end of it. Six patients required pacemaker implantation for permanent or paroxysmal complete AV block (CAVB). At one year follow up, 3 patients with LBBB during valvuloplasty had a normal ECG, one still had LBBB and one an asymptomatic CAVB found in Holter monitoring. Conclusions: Conduction abnormalities are frequent after CoreValve® aortic valve prosthesis implantation. The incidence of new LBBB was 25%. CAVB during or post TAVI require PM implantation. New LBBB may need a closer follow up because in a 3% of the cases it may progress to CAVB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
