In order to evaluate the existence of changes and continuities in visual, technical and morphological terms (forms and contours) and to discuss their chronological value, the visual and morpho-technical analysis are articulated with the radiocarbon dates of the Belén style pottery from western Tinogasta. The ceramic assemblage analyzed is part of collections deposited in public or private museums and in government and/or educational institutions, which differ in the quality of the associated complementary information, both contextual and documentary. This approach allowed: (i) to reaffirm the deep reiteration of images, techniques, morphologies and ways of organizing the plastic space that endure over time; (ii) to identify certain changes, fundamentally, in the thematic and technical repertoires that, at least in the Fiambalá region, allow us to establish chronological differences between the Belén vessels; and (iii) to begin to assign a tentative temporality to vessels from unsystematic excavations deposited in the Collections without chronological information.

Human-animal relations have been object of deep debates which show that they exceed the economic dimension, implying dialogues, agreements and disagreements. The study of animal representations, embodied on different objects according to specific contexts, is a starting point from where to explore these meanings. In this study, we will centre our research around one kind of zoomorphic representation that has never been systematically studied before: the 'armadillo'. Analysis done on a sample of Belén's ceramic pottery recorded by the Proyecto Arqueológico Chaschuil-Abaucán in Fiambalá (Catamarca), had the aim to: (i) identify the distinct anatomical characteristics of armadillo's representations; (ii) estimate the propensity of its representation; and (iii) define the artistic and compositional resources used in their creation. The approach we proposed unveils that, even if it is not in a central position in the analyzed pieces, the armadillo is the animal most intensely represented in the studied repertoire.

The article addresses the need to decolonize and rebuild healthcare systems in Latin America and the Caribbean. It criticizes the reproduction of a constant coloniality of power and healthcare knowledge in the region, as well as the importation of theories and policies from the global North. The need to problematize and deconstruct the dominant Eurocentric Pan-American categorical framework is proposed, and categories for the rebuilding and decolonization of healthcare systems in the 21st century are suggested. The importance of integrating the public sphere and new organizational architectures for the universalization of collective, comprehensive, and interdependent goods is highlighted. A revision of the logic of primary healthcare is proposed, emphasizing comprehensive health care and well-being, as well as the territory and territorialities of collective ways of life. The need for an epistemology of rebuilding healthcare systems and public policies to achieve effective health sovereignty in the region is also discussed. [Extracted from the article]

The article "Narratives in Unstable Balance: Latin American Literature between Aesthetics and Politics" by Ana María Amar Sánchez addresses the need to reconfigure new critical spaces to explore indigenous literature. It highlights the figure of the "ethical loser" as a value to reflect on the relationship between politics and literature. It proposes a pan-indigenous literary criticism that avoids reproducing colonial discourses and emphasizes the importance of political aesthetics and fiction in literary writing. It also analyzes the representation of radical violence in Latin American literature and questions the concept of resilience in relation to state terrorism. It mentions a book about masculinities in Peruvian literature. [Extracted from the article]

This study presents a protocol for preserving digital traces and evidence in cyber incidents through different user access levels based on computer forensics. The implementation of new tools could preserve information that can help clarify the attack type and the crime's dynamics, its materiality, and authorship. This protocol determines the first digital response, classified by level of urgency, to support decision making while maintaining the chain of custody according to the risk of data volatility. It is concluded that this protocol helps clarify cyber incidents while respecting the correct preservation of data. Thus, each charged organization can decide which data should be prioritized in information identification, isolation, and protection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a society entering the era of the knowledge economy, digital defense learning for adolescents is essential, especially for computer network technicians. This article presents a training proposal conducted at the Pirituba Campus of the Federal Institute of São Paulo and the integrating projects that emerged from this course. The proposal was structured in five information management and security study axes. Forty-two high school students in technical education participated. They presented, from their personal research interests, four works on topics related to digital defense, such as malware, prevention and training, data kidnapping, and cyber-bullying. These projects applied the knowledge obtained and implemented it in the research, which is part of professional education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Proponemos leer el vinculo entre violencia y locura en America Latina, a partir de las significaciones del personaje de Lalo Cura y sus avatares a lo largo de los textos en los que Roberto Bolano lo va configurando: desde su nacimiento en el cuento "Prefiguracion de Lalo Cura", publicado en 2001 en el volumen Putas asesinas, hasta sus reapariciones en las novelas postumas 2666 (2004) bajo el nombre de Lalo Cura Exposito y en Los sinsabores del verdadero polida (2011) bajo el nombre de Francisco (Pancho) Monje Exposito. Se trata de un "personaje conceptual" capaz de iluminar la decada de los 90, desde diferentes perfiles ya que, en un gesto innovador respecto a las construcciones de personajes tipo, Bolano va modificando su historia, su genealogla y su nombre. As! logra reunir un haz de significaciones diversas pero convergentes, que traman la historia de America Latina: desde la Madre violada en la conquista a los femicidios de Ciudad Juarez, y desde las revoluciones de los 60 hasta su derrota de los 90, que en el Cono Sur fueron seguidas por el ciclo de las dictaduras que trunco toda una generacion de jovenes y dejo huerfana a la siguiente: los expositos que habitan el manicomio de America Latina.

The rise of the historical novel left its mark in the literary field of the democratic opening of Uruguay while being a way of exploring the causes of State terror during the last dictatorship (1973-1985). This was a major concern among the generation of 1960s and 1970s, who were formed in the heat of revolutionary fervor and later suffered under the dictatorial context. This article seeks to analyze Amir Hamed's Artigas Blues Band (1994) as a strong detour from those historical novels of post-dictatorship. Although Hamed grew up in dictatorship, he belongs to the generation emerging in democracy. He does not rewrite the past to question its historical failures but instead retrowrites it to construct a place from which to do away with the past, the "Switzerland of America", of the left's promises, of the legacies of dictatorship, to violently stir the grey democracy with celebration, desire, humor, music, creativity, the new, the young, the other.

An observational and descriptive study was designed in which 3 male patients with clinical diagnosis of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/DMB) were studied. DNA was extracted, after the technique was standardized, and the molecular study was initiated by multiplex PCR using the Chamberlain and Beggs set of primers. Polyacrylamide gels at 6.5% allowed to visualize specific exonic deletions. Deletions were obtained in only one of the patients studied and the deleted exons were 50-51-52, corresponding to the "mayor hotspot". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ammonia oxidation to nitrite is a critical step in the nitrogen (N) cycle and is performed by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) also called Nitrifying. Agricultural management can affect the AOB community due to the prolonged use of nitrogen fertilizers such as urea which tend to increase soil acidity. After 12 years of urea application, size, activity, AOB composition and chemical variables were investigated. The performed field experiment had a complete randomized block design with three replicates on a typical Argiudol soil located in Marcos Juárez, Southeastern Córdoba, Argentine. The treatments were: A control without N-application; B and C with 95 and 165 kg ha-1 of urea as the N source respectively. Soil samples were collected before sowing and after corn harvest. The AOB community was studied through the most probable number method, shaken soil slurry, polymerase chain reaction and electrophoresis in denaturing gradient gel. Urea fertilization decreased soil pH, increased AOB abundance and diversity but did not significantly affect nitrifying potential. Bacterial community structure was dominated by members of the Group 3 of Nitrosospira in all the treatments. The results showed that the long-term urea fertilization in a typical Argiudol was a substrate source and not a limiting factor for the nitrifying bacteria. The fertilization effect was more evident in the sampling date before corn sowing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows the description, evaluation, and treatment of a study case with a generalized anxiety disorder. The case is a 16-year-old boy who suffers from a high emotional distress due to several worries. An assessment with different instruments that allows diagnosis and delimitation of the most important variables is performed. After this process of evaluation a multicomponent intervention, which integrates different techniques and strategies of cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and interpersonal character, is implemented. The results reflect substantial changes in symptoms that suggest the adequacy and effectiveness of the intervention. The role of worries as a component of the generalized anxiety disorder, difficulties, and limitations of the intervention and future actions to consolidate the achievements are discussed.

Si los trabajos en torno a la memoria se han focalizado en gran medida en las �víctimas� de dictaduras, genocidios o diversos sistemas de dominio y sometimiento �que en América Central se vinculan con la extensa presencia de gobiernos militares o con el denominado �genocidio guatemalteco�, así como en el Cono sur se centran en las dictaduras de la historia reciente�, en cambio aquí proponemos indagar las �memorias perturbadoras� (Alessandro Portelli 2013) como una vía para explorar el universo de los movimientos revolucionarios, la entraña de los �buenos�, de los �idealistas�, de los �progresistas�, de los que se convirtieron en �víctimas�: de allí su carácter �perturbador�. Se trata de una perspectiva que desde la posición de alguien vinculado a los movimientos de izquierda o que compartió las propuestas revolucionarias, ahora lleva a cabo una autocrítica desde el interior del universo de la izquierda. Abordamos algunos textos de la narrativa de Horacio Castellanos Moya para analizar las �memorias perturbadoras� de la izquierda revolucionaria centroamericana, lo que supone revisar desde una mirada autocrítica aquellos acontecimientos, ideales, valores, hábitos y mitos, así como ciertas figuras y perfiles subjetivos que caracterizaron sus propuestas y sus prácticas durante las últimas décadas del pasado siglo.

In V, 19-21, Herodotus narrates the reception of the Persian envoys by Amyntas I of Macedon and his son, Alexander I. The episode signposts a 'turning-point' at various levels in the Herodotean narrative and displays an ambivalent framing, characterization and language. Such ambiguity manifests itself, for one thing, in the inadequacy of the language of xenía as a means of portraying the contact between social groups --which foreshadows the emergence of the 'other' as barbarian in the Histories. Furthermore, Alexander's individual identity, as well as the Macedonians' social identity, is ambiguously depicted between a Greek and non-Greek ethos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper offers a discursive analysis of the dialogue between Xerxes and Demaratus, prior to the Persian attack on the Greeks, as dramatized in Herodotus 7. 101-104. The interaction between the interlocutors is closely explored in order to: a) outline the discursive roles and argumentative strategies deployed by either participant, b) address the social identities constructed throughout the interaction and the prospective, albeit hazy, delineation of a Greek and barbarian éthos, c) speculate on the significance of the episode in the context of the Histories and the ideological implications of the alleged relationship between the Persian autocracy and Spartan kingship.
