In a previous paper the general characteristics of an on-line psychoanalytic treatment were presented. This paper is aimed to reflect, with a certain retrospective position, on the psychoanalytic treatments that had to continue on-line due to the COVID-19 contingency. It is proposed that in times of COVID-19 (and in general at any contingency) the recognition of the rupture of the vital everyday setting for both, analyst and patient is fundamental. Also it is important to bring this mutual experience to the analytic dialogue, meanwhile we continue to explore analytically the singularity of the patient's experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay explores the works and thought of Emilia Prieto Tugores (1902-1986) as recorded in selected xylographs and essays published in Joaquín García Monge's Repertorio Americano. Our analysis identifies irony and poetics as key elements in aesthetic and political terms of the creative discourse in her work, and they are linked to her political activism and ideas, as well as a feminist critique of clerical, military, colonialist, and imperialist structures in Costa Rica beginning in the 1930s.

Desde los inicios del psicoanálisis, Freud y sus discípulos se enfrentaron con la problemática de cómo realizar tratamientos viviendo en lugares geográficos distantes. En la medida en que el psicoanálisis fue expandiéndose, la tendencia fue al establecimiento de tratamientos con una regularidad establecida y con las constantes materiales del consultorio, del cuerpo propio del analista y del paciente, como referentes para contener al proceso. Pese a esto, sigue sin haber psicoanalistas o psicoterapeutas en diversas regiones. Muchos analistas se muestran renuentes a los tratamientos a distancia, esto se debe a a) el temor al rompimiento del encuadre tradicional, b) el temor de que la transferencia no se despliegue si se está en un contacto a distancia, c) las dificultades en cuanto a la neutralidad y la abstinencia, y d) la necesidad de una posición más activa del analista. Este escrito tiene la finalidad de discutir sobre estos puntos para reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de establecer, formalmente, tratamientos psicoanalíticos a distancia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on young people from areas of critical poverty in Gran San Miguel de Tucumán and seeks to inquire into their life paths. Faced with the difficulties of completing an education and the precarious insertion into the labour market, other experiences such as peer grouping, the use of neighbourhood public spaces and the consumption of psychoactive-substances gain significance. Open interviews with a deliberate sample of youngsters enabled us to identify and describe the dimensions that life trajectories acquire and to develop a typology of the latter.

The main objective of this article is the study of the visual work of Chilean photographer Zaida González Ríos from what I have called, here, the "inclined image". This inclination implies a visual operation that tries to get out of the "straight" pose of the modern subject. In Zaida González Ríos' work this visual operation is best described under the order of "paraphilias". An order that is expressed in deviation and misunderstanding. Paraphilias, in their best known etymology, refer us to a word with two primary senses: distance and affection. That is why the inclined image is never defined in a unique or identity-related sense, but, on the contrary, in alteration and artifice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes the characteristics that poverty adopts in Villa Muñecas, a slum in the Gran San Miguel de Tucumán region, by analysing the processes that determined the transition from a working class borough to an area of deprivation. The questions that guide the analysis are: How did the economic, social and territorial transformations affected the historical development of Villa Muñecas? What are the current manifestations of poverty in the area? What changes can be observed in the configurations of poverty? A case study is carried out centered on the dimensions related to work and habitat and taking into consideration the historical development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The problem of child malnutrition in Tucumán acquired an unprecedented impact at the beginning of the 21st century. It could be observed that, far from being solved, it acquired, at the dawn of the century, incredible magnitudes for Argentina in general and particularly for Tucumán. However, beyond the "novel" of the problem and the "surprise" by this magnitude, many elementary features of the problem were ignored. In this proposal we intend to approach the complex world of child malnutrition in Tucumán during the first years of the 21st century, detecting the main manifestations that acquired the extreme problem of child mortality due to malnutrition, both in their temporal tendencies and in their spatial expressions. It was also sought, trough case studies, to examine the relationships between the context of poverty, the morbidity of child undernutrition, and family actions deployed. The results shows that although the magnitudes decreased, the cases of death are still numerous, even those of morbidity (in which cases the sequelae generate irreversible damage), and their presence is related to contexts of persistent poverty, and family actions deployed tended to attenuate only the seriousness of the problem.

Spatial mazes associated with spatial alternation or conditional election tasks has been widely used in psychology and more recently in neurosciences as strong tools for the study of animal behavior and cognition, particularly in the field of learning and memory. This article provides a briefly review of the use of the T-maze in behavioral research, especially in relation to spatial alternation and memory. On this review highlights the use for over than a century of the spatial mazes in the scientific research as well as the development of a wide variety of forms, protocols and procedures. This review presents evidence about the strategies to perform the task, the memory process involved and the brain structures related, among these the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, striatum and medial frontal cortex.

In pasture systems, management practices can affect pasture productivity differently due to their impact on soil microorganisms and nutrient cycling. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between soil microbial biomass (MB) nitrogen (MBN), carbon (MBC) and urease activity (UA) in a permanent pasture in southern Chile. Two grazing systems were evaluated between spring 2005 and winter 2006 : heavy grazing (HG), light grazing (LG) and a control treatment (C). Treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. Concerning the average values of the variables measured at the beginning and at the end of grazing, there was an increase in the content of BC of 21.8 and 8.6% for HG and LG, while the control was only 1.9%. BN contents were also increased by 16 and 19% for HG and LG, respectively, compared with the control (4%). The urease activity increased by 13 and 27% for HG and LG, respectively, compared with the control (5%). Grazing produced a higher flow of organic residues in the soil, stimulating microbial biomass and therefore increasing the UA and the BC and BN content. Thus, soil biological fertility and nutrient availability s increase under grazing systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: fibromyalgia syndrome (FS) is a chronic, painful, generalized musculoskeletal disorder in which some efficacy for the conventional hypnosis modality has been claimed. Objective: to assess the efficacy of the Ericksonian modality hypnosis in FS management. Material and methods: forty-three FS female patients (44 ± 4.7 years old) were included. They were randomized to receive for six months: Ericksonian hypnosis (EH; 20 subjects) or a sham-hypnosis (SH; 23 subjects). Every month, patient and physician global disease assessment, tender point count and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) were measured. Results: during the follow-up, we did not find inter-group differences for the rate of change related to the baseline values for the patient and physician global disease assessment and the FIQ scores. At the third month (4.0 ± 4.6 vs. 0.6 ± 3.1; p = 0.02), and at the fourth month (5.0 ± 4.6 vs. 0.8 ± 4.0; p = 0.03) of follow-up, the participants who received EH had a significant reduction of the tender point count after adjustment for patient's age. Conclusions: despite no effect was noted on the functional status and the patient and physician global assessment, EH produced a reduction in the number of tender points in FS. Thus, HE may be an adjuvant treatment for the management of FS patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
