Atlantic Forest is an ecosystem historically managed without restrictions. Over the years, this situation led to a fragmentation of the forest environment with the consequent loss of habitats for all kinds of organisms in the region. The present work is a checklist of macrofungi found in a native forest in Oberá (Misiones, Argentina), where conservation and regeneration practices have been held since 2009 to recover its natural state. Sampling took place in different seasons for 3 years. 136 species have been identified, distributed in 13 orders, 32 families and 86 genera. The objective of the present work was to set a precedent of macrofungi diversity in the area. This will allow studying macrofungi ecological succession and their potential as bio-indicators of forest recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the role neoliberalism has had in the changes in political culture in Argentina. Many Academic and Intellectual discourses helped change the ideological landscape together with theoretical language. This occurred in a process that started with the last military dictatorship and continued throughout the democratic period up to today. In describing these impacts it is intended to clarify the process by which political and economical transformation impact social structures, being those transformations achieved through certain intellectual productions that contribute to empowerment and domination. These have a very relevant function by shaping people's ideology at university as well as general level by means of theory-imports, (translation) either without a real critical approach or with text manipulation.

The following article deals with the relationship between Argentina and Brazil and the role that each country performed in the context of the regional integration process, which was institutionalized in the Latin-American Free Trade Association (ALALC, Asociación Lationamericana de Libre Comercio, 1960), considering the influence of the United States' government as a hegemonic power in the region. The historical tensions between Brazil and Argentina did not vanish with the constitution of the ALALC. Furthermore, they tended to increase due to the establishment of military governments in both countries during the 60's. We will also expose the United States' negative attitude towards this "alliance" between these crucial countries of the Southern Cone, considering the "autonomist" tendencies of both presidents.

The family Diatrypaceae (Xylariales) includes mainly saprotrophic and some pathogenic species on wood of angiosperms. The aim of this study is to update the taxonomy and distribution of 30 species and species complexes of Diatrypaceae recorded in Argentina. Diatrype concolor, D. megale, D. polycocca complex, D. phaselina, Eutypa consobrina complex, Eutypella aspera and E. lophiostomoides are recorded for the first time and the distribution of five species is extended: Diatrype chlorosarca, D. enteroxantha - D. puiggarii complex, D. patagonica, D. wrightii and Peroneutypa scoparia. Eutypella bonariensis is proposed as synonym of Peroneutypa scoparia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
