A new record for the Argentine adventitious flora is revealed thanks to a population of Achyranthes aspera in the Northeast of the Salta Province. The species has a wide distribution worldwide and behaves as a weed in crops. It is here morphologically described, along with its habitat, phenology, diagnostic characteristics, photographs, vernacular names, and information about its geographical distribution in Argentina and Bolivia. Finally, a hypothesis is proposed regarding its possible entry pathway into our country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we reflect on the place of indigenous women in the processes of political organisation and rural development of the municipality of Nazareno, located in the inter-Andean Valleys (northwest of the Salta province, Argentina). To achieve this, we present an analysis of these processes from a genealogical and ethnographic perspective, based on two analytical movements: a reexamination of academic antecedents that document multiple programs implemented between 1983 and 2003, and a counterpoint to these readings, with three women's life narratives on these processes, reconstructed within the framework of collaborative ethnographic work. The objective is to analyse the guidelines and practices upon which a discourse around rural women was consolidated, as well as the strategies, appropriations and political demands that the women themselves made of them within the framework of the collective construction of the struggle for the territory.

This work questions the role and development of the state agency in charge of tourism in Salta during the Peronist years. The evolution, functions, capacities and limits of the State are analyzed at “ground level” in a space barely explored by the historiography of tourism. From this it was demonstrated that the organization of tourism was carried out through the autonomous and decentralized action of the subnational agency, with little or no national coordination and characterized by fragmentation, obstacles, marches and countermarches.

The objective of this work is to report the presence of Werneckiella equi, in a horse from the city of Salta in order to provide information of regional epidemiological relevance and also document the first case of infestation by this parasite in the Northwest of Argentina. A horse of about 8 years old with intense itching and poor body condition, that lived on a property in the urban area of the city of Salta, Argentina, was brought to the consultation. In the particular inspection of the skin, lice were observed, which were collected and sent to the laboratory. Based on the clinical information, further analysis was performed. On the basis of clinical information and parasitological studies, it was determined that the animal was suffering from an infestation of Werneckiella equi. The horse was treated with oral ivermectin, showing improvement and disappearance of the parasites on the skin. What is described in this work is the first report at a regional level and highlights the possibility of occurrence of this presentation in horses that show symptoms of pruritus.

We present some proposals about the interactions between populations of the northern Salta and Jujuy Yungas, those in Quebrada de Humahuaca and Puna in the Northwest of Argentina (NOA), and sector of Bolivia at the end of the first millennium and the first centuries of the second, employing different approaches. Direct evidence recorded in funerary contexts of three archaeological sites, Manuel Elordi1, El Talar and Oran, located in the piedmont forest is presented. Several indicators, such as ceramics, metals, beads of diverse raw materials, freshwater snails and rock art, as well as some evidence from the Yungas found in regions with a better preservation of organic materials are considered. We consider their dispersal through possible interaction networks between these regions, with suggestions about those responsible for them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to examine the practices involved in the making of tourist photographs elaborated by the province of Salta (Argentina) as part of the official tourism promotion strategies. In order to do that, promotional materials elaborated by local government were analyzed. Additionally, personal interviews with marketing managers and professional photographers were conducted. Results show the set of political-institutional and artistic-creative decisions involved in the image making process concerning Salta's tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this work is to describe a case of mixed resistance, finding for the first time low antiparasitic efficacy against Cooperia curticei in a sheep flock in the province of Salta. The work was carried out in an establishment in Cerrillos town, province of Salta. Four groups of 10 animals each were formed: a control group, a group treated with ivermectin, another treated with albendazole and another treated with levamisole. The efficacy results were 50.5% for ivermectin, 68.7% for albendazole, and 99.2% for levamisole. Regarding the efficacy by gender, it was 42.8%, 64.8% and 97% in Haemonchus contortus, 100%, 79.2% and 99.3% for Trichostrongylus colubriformis and 88.5%, 100 % and 100% for C. curticei for ivermectin, albendazole and levamisole respectively. This finding warns about the AR situation and of the wide distribution of the use of various chemical groups under study in the region's flocks, which should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new species of the genus Hippeastrum (Amaryllidaceae, Amaryllidoideae, Hippeastreae), collected at Escoipe area (Salta, Argentina), is here described as H. escoipense. Due to its morphological affinities, it was erroneously considered under the binomial H. argentinum, a species from which it differs by its three-lobed stigma and erect leaves (vs. trifid stigma, curved leaves). We provide information on geographic location, habitat description, conservation status assessment, along with a key to differentiate it from related species from Argentina and Bolivia, and the comparative chemical profile of alkaloids between this new entity and H. argentinum.

The short-tailed chinchilla (Chinchilla chinchilla) is a species classified as "endangered" both globally and in Argentina, due to overhunting for its fur during the past century. Its recent presence in Argentina was based on remains found in fox scats and an owl pellet in 2001 and 2005. Here, we report new evidence based on camera traps and fecal genetics confirming the presence of short-tailed chinchillas at two sites in the western Andes of Salta Province. The populations we found are located in an area that is experiencing an unprecedented expansion of large-scale mining, calling for urgent action to protect chinchillas and their threatened habitat.

The paper analyzes the processes through which Cerro San Bernardo (Salta) has become a tourist observation point, considering material adaptations, images and practices involved. To that end, promotional information concerning this hill as an observation point and Salta as a tourist attraction was gathered and systematized. Tourists’ activities were also observed and recorded. In addition, personal interviews to public and private actors involved in local tourism were conducted. The paper concludes that visual appreciation from the top of San Bernardo replicates some traditions about what to do at observation points and how. It also points out the need to consider these places and the observation practices associated to them together with the array of activities involved in tourists' visits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Argentina, the Chaco region is an extensive geographic area with large amounts of water running through it and involved in the expansion of extractive frontiers with great social and environmental impact. Based on contributions of political ecology of water and water justice, the article aims to incorporate the hydric perspective to foregoing reflections in the province of Salta. The methodological strategy is based on the collection and analysis of secondary sources, together with in-depth interviews. We differentiate two scenarios that pose different dilemmas and challenges regarding water resources management: access to water and its distribution on one hand, and scarcity and/or hydric excess on the other. In both cases, it's interesting to analyze how environmental burdens are distributed and to explore the upcoming conflicts and controversies regarding causes and possible solutions.

The article addresses the role of tourist movement in defining Salta (Argentina) as a tourist place. To achieve that goal, specific practices of displacement by tourists who hire guided tours were observed. As a preliminary study, the paper discusses traditional approaches to guided tours as highly standardized and prescribed experiences. Likewise, it highlights the active participation of the different actors taking part in these tours. In a broader sense, the paper aims at contributing to the understanding of tourist places considering tourist movement and to acknowledge the practices that shape it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, care-related social studies have been growing strongly. Focusing on this process, it seems relevant to suggest that care involves broader processes, which allows us to think not only about its relationship to child-rearing, but also to the environment and the rest of the beings that live in it. Based on two ethnographic research projects carried out with Mapuche (Neuquén) and Ava-Guaraní (Salta) rural communities in Argentina, we will analyze the ways in which the forms of care are related to disputes over indigenous territories and access to natural resources. Boys and girls actively participate in household care tasks, as well as having wide margins of autonomy in rural territories. Thus, on the one hand, our observations on indigenous child care allow us to discuss childhood and family definitions that underlie child care hegemonic perspectives. On the other hand, ethnographic research on family strategies for organizing child care in these contexts shows their relationship to unequal land distribution, working conditions and gender inequalities. Finally, this article discusses the ways in which child care is linked to the territorial situation of indigenous people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article addresses the relationship between tourism, geography, and images, seeking to recognize how images mediate place tourist experience. To do this, the paper analyzes the official tourism promotion of Salta (Argentina) considering the main ideas about the destination created by local government. This is done by examining graphic material (booklets, books, magazines, brochures, posters, maps, etc.) edited and distributed by provincial government since 2007 to 2019. The analysis of graphic devices produced by provincial government shows that there are two main ideas about Salta as a tourist place. One of them portraits Salta as an unvisited place that is ideal for initial exploration. The other idea depicts it as a place where tourists can get access to an unaltered and rich cultural heritage. The text concludes by pointing out that official promotion strategy renews tourists' interest for the exotic, the different, and the remote, while allowing the multiplication of business options in a context where diversity is necessary to increase consumption.

This paper presents a spatial analysis of the accessibility to pure water for consumption purposes. The area estudied is Salta province, located in the Northwest Argentina. Based on data from the National Population and Housing Census (2010), an indicator is defined. This indicator incorporates three evaluation criteria: origin of water, potential of access and possession of water. Results show that a high percentage of the population of Salta has difficulties in accessing water, particularly in rural areas. The developed tool aims to contribute to the acknowledgement of the water problem and to promote a territorial approach in national, provincial and local management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the evolution of the most widespread discourses in Argentina about the piqueteros movement between 2000 and 2001, a period marked by the development of a crisis of hegemony. For that, based on theoretical and methodological strategy that follows the main contributions of critical discourse analysis, the news published in the newspaper with the highest circulation are analyzed in relation to a case in point: the roadblocks and popular rebellions starred by piqueteros movement in the province of Salta. The article shows the complex and contradictory relationship between the development of the crisis of hegemony and the representations deployed in Clarin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years the province of Salta has strengthened its presence in the Argentine tourist map. This involved, among other things, the increase of tourist offers to enjoy the province of Salta. In this paper, we aim to address tourist diversity in Salta, especially observing how the Calchaquíes Valleys, a traditional destination in the Argentine northwest, is redefined through new attractions and tourist services based on some local distinctive features. This work specifically approaches the way in which the tourist proposal in this area is renewed considering the creation of a rural and touristic organization-the Rural Tourism Network-that offers tourist services under the form of community-based tourism. It also aims at focusing attention on the social and territorial changes that the presence of this new actor, central to the diversification of tourist options in this destination, has introduced into the local scene.

In Salta, the puna vegetation studies are specific, sporadic, and often lack a complete picture of the floristic diversity. The objectives of this paper are to present the floristic diversity in Tocomar and Campo Amarillo, compare the biodiversity of the area of study with what is documented for Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, and analyze the indexes of similarities between the floristic vegas studied and those of other similar environments. The Non-wetlands include the grass steppes, shrub steppes and shrub hillside, and the wetlands include vegas. 30 families, 72 genera, 116 species, 19 infraspecific taxa and nine endemic species were recorded. The main families are Poaceae (26 species), Asteraceae (18) and Cyperaceae (9). 18 new records for the province of Salta are incorporated, of which four are Argentine endemisms. The floristic biodiversity of families, genera and species is higher than that documented for other floristically related sites, are concentrated in the analyzed vegas. The vegas had higher floristic similarity to the vegas of Northern Chile and Jujuy, while the lower affinity was recorded with the vegas of Catamarca, San Juan, Mendoza and Bolivia.

The Cactaceae family in Argentina: diversity patterns and political priorities for their conservation. In this paper we used species richness and endemism of Argentine cacti to select those provinces with highest priority for the conservation of this plant family in the country. The role of cactus diversity as a surrogate for dicot diversity was further analyzed. Species richness (number of species) and endemism (number of endemic species) were determined for each of the 24 provinces of Argentina. Fifteen provinces were selected as priority based on the number of species and 14 provinces were selected based on the number of endemic species. Salta province presents the highest species richness and endemism. Endemic species are a good surrogate for cactus diversity. Similarly, cactus diversity is a good surrogate for dicot diversity.

This article discusses the controversy surrounding Bishop Nicolás Videla del Pino of Salta, Argentina, with a particular focus on the accusations of his committing treason against the state. The author comments on the separation of truth from fiction regarding the bishop's actions from 1812 to 1819, which reveals his patriotism and political support of the independence of Argentina. The controversial relationship between Videla del Pino and Pope Pius VII regarding the former's bishopric is also explored.
