This article presents an entangled history of Argentina and Egypt in the years surrounding the 1952 Egyptian Revolution. It combines diplomatic, migration and anti-imperial activism histories to delineate the intellectual and institutional links between these nations from the late 1940s to the 1950s – from the rise of Peronism through to Nasser's management of the Suez Canal crisis of 1956. Diverse Argentine social and political sectors saw parallels between the anti-imperial struggles in the Arab world and in Latin America. Though with differing and sometimes competing agendas, these groups learned and deployed the language of non-alignment and South–South solidarity in the escalating Cold War. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Little is known in the English-speaking world about the bombing of the Vatican city-state during World War II or about the controversy surrounding the identity of the culprits once responsibility for the attack, and the damage it caused, had been denied by the major belligerent powers. This article gives a documented and eyewitnessed account of the bombing; revisits the controversy in the light of files now available in the National Archives, London; and offers a plausible conclusion about the identity of those responsible and the reason for the attack.

The first two Peronist governments (1946–1955) introduced extensive social reforms that notably improved working conditions and systematised vocational training. Thereby the foundations of the Argentine welfare state were laid and the working masses were socially included to an unprecedented degree: thus, they also constituted the majority of Perón’s supporters. These reforms were accompanied and buttressed by a purportedly equally innovative set of symbols, in the form of mostly graphic propaganda on leaflets or advertising posters, intended to disseminate political ideas and educate the Argentine population. Apart from economic implications like fostering industrial progress, the centring of the regime around the figure of the worker, which for the first time appeared within the self-representation of the state, also brought about a redefinition of the notion of citizenship. In conceiving of the Peronist visual propaganda as a means of state-driven education of the Argentine population and thereby taking it up in the realm of educationalist research, this article first focuses on the appropriations and reformulations of local discursive and iconographic traditions within the Peronist propaganda, despite the self-proclaimed novelty of the regime and its visual representations. Second, by comparing it to the propagandistic production of other corporatist welfare regimes of the interwar period, it elaborates the national specificity, as well as transnational entanglements in the staging of welfare policies and the visualisation of the redefined relationship between state and citizens.

The main purpose of this article is to give an account of the warm and enthusiastic welcome Eva Duarte, General Peron's wife, received from both the Spanish authorities and people, during her stay in our country, from the eighth to the twenty-sixth of June, 1947. In order to understand its international extent, it's necessary to start with both countries' international context and each country's main goals for mutual rapprochement. Such rapprochement was achieved with Eva Duarte's journey to Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the education and professionalization of nurses in Argentina under the government of President Juan Perón, a period referred to as Peronism, from 1946-1955. It examines two nursing schools in the country, the Escuela de Enfermas de Secretaría de Salud Pública and the Escuela de Enfermeras «7 de mayo» de la Fundación de Eva Perón. The authors analyze the economic conditions as well as the government policies related to public health in the country during this time period.

In this work, the historical and epistemological foundations of the publications edited by the Instituto de Psicología Experimental (Institute of Experimental Psychology) of Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Argentina) are analyzed. The study is based on the production of its Senior Director, Doctor Horacio Rimoldi. Rimoldi's scientific conceptions were influenced by sciences such as biology, psychology and mathematics, which he had learnt both in his medical profession and in his later studies in England in experimental psychology and factorial analysis. His main publications covered both applied psychology in industrial-organizational and in educational settings as well as research works on psychometric deficits. In this paper, his works are analyzed by a strict methodology based on very original and complex correlation measurements and factorial analysis. He also related the data to personal information such as age and gender, and affective troubles. In his publications, the educational variable has been a predominant factor when correlating and interpreting the differences in academic performance between the populations of the tests (mostly Anglo-Saxon countries and Argentina).
