This paper aims to analyze the benefits and difficulties of interdisciplinary work, from the perspective of mental health professionals who work as a team with other professionals. For this, a cross-sectional study was carried out with qualitative methodology, of an exploratory nature, in which 15 psychologists who work in public health institutions in the city of Mar del Plata - Argentina were interviewed. From the analysis of the interviews carried out, it is observed that these professionals find in interdisciplinary work the possibility of comprehensively covering health, as well as being able to count on a team that generates listening and containment spaces before a work that, in many opportunities, is characterized by urgency and complexity. Likewise, they find in interdisciplinary work the difficulty of communication that can be generated by differences in language (between the different disciplines), as well as the difference in how certain concepts are conceived within the field of health, and the persistence of the medical model hegemonic in some aspects of interdisciplinary practices. We discuss and reflect on these results, which allow us to think about the importance and complexity of interdisciplinary work and, with it, the value it has in undergraduate and postgraduate training.

The present paper informs about a study carried out at Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, by teacher-researchers. The study consisted of the design and application of a criterion-referenced test of reading comprehension in English. The objectives of the project were: to investigate the level of reading comprehension achieved by students who finish their studies in secondary local schools; to offer the local education system external and reliable information about their students' level of performance in reading comprehension in English; and to develop the methodological abilities of the researchers involved in terms of census evaluation of learning outcomes. The project is presented, and the design and implementation of the tests is discussed, together with the results. The analysis of the results aims at contributing to the reflection on the need to take into account the characteristics of local contexts in terms of English teaching and evaluation.

This work presents the results obtained from the internationalization analysis and characterization of Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMDP) scientific activity, from the study of the scientific production published since its creation. The research covers the period 1978-2019 and is centered on the papers published during that time. The secondary sources used were Web of Science Core Collections (Clarivate) and Scopus (Elsevier), from which the records that form the subject of study were recovered. For the analysis of this dimension, indicators such as author collaboration (institutions and countries), collaboration by thematic areas, scientific leadership and publication language were applied. In addition to the results and representations of the proposed indicators, some considerations about the internationalization measurement within upper education institutions are made.

Electronic equipment, which by now is omnipresent in urban life, poses a growing challenge in terms of post-consumer management due to the type and quantity of waste it generates. The aim of this paper is to analyze the valorization processes concerning the different social actors dedicated to the revalorization of Electronic Waste from Information and Communication Technologies (EWIT) in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina, by examining their cultural and commercial links. This article is the product of an investigation that was deployed in several phases. First, we examined previous Latin American experiences that had studied the problem from the perspective of the actors. Then, we collected the information to be analyzed using techniques such as participant observation and open and in-depth interviews with local actors involved in the different stages of the commercialization of the RE-ICT. The results presented arise from the interrelations of the subjects related to the RE-ICTs valorization processes. Three subsystems were identified within these processes: i) the formality, ii) informality, and iii) extraformality of the State. The circumstances that each actor faces are based on structural conditions inherent to market, technical, and knowledge logics. There is no state or normative support that formalizes and articulates the different actors for an integrated management; however, the study proposes some sustainable local-level guidelines. There appears to be no record of any in-depth, systemic and comprehensive analysis of the social dynamics surrounding the valorization of electronic devices in the city. As such, this work constitutes a fundamental social contribution to a future management plan for this type of waste. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public events referred to as "truth hearings" in Argentina to took place in 1998. As a response to demands aired by relatives of victims of state terrorism, survivors and human rights organizations, these claimants sought to know the truth of the fate of thousands who disappeared during Argentina's last military dictatorship (1976-1983). While the hearings occassioned major conflicts between the state, the military and the human rights organizations, and the duration of some hearings lasted for more than ten years, little research has been carried out on the hearings. In this paper we analyze one of the Trials for the Truth, held in the city of Mar del Plata, in order to understand the historical process of social and political struggles developed by social actors involved in the hearings. Our particular focus is to analyze the production of emergency conditions, the fabric of social policies and the cultural relations in which conflicts were embedded. Also, we devote analysis to the impact of strategic political changes at the level of national and international politics, and on the decisions made by entrepreneurial actors of this trial.

As cities grow and expand, transition zones called peri - urban areas are created, which present several difficulties for local administration. Mar del Plata peri-urban areas are not an exception, as they constitute a dynamic territory, which is subject to a number of territorial transformations. The southern area of this territory (the study area) has shown a high dynamism, especially during the last 4-5 years, although this has not been properly recorded in previous papers. It also presents a wide range of activities and significant socio-territorial imbalances and environmental impacts. Within this context, this paper analyzes the territorial transformations in the mentioned area since the 1990s up to present day, taking into account the main stages of urban development (expansion, consolidation and densification). On the basis of previous studies, it comprehensively analyzes the transformations based on the definition of territorial spheres (concept of regime), which symbolize the main uses of the area lands and, at the same time, it qualitatively assesses the intensity of changes produced in each territorial sphere (concept of rupture). An in-depth knowledge about the sector's dynamics and the territorial transformations will constitute the basis to generate territorial ordering strategies for the area, methodology which could be applied later to other peri-urban areas.

This paper is part of another research work that shows the relationship between housing and the illnes-health process in Mar del Plata City, because of the absence of scientific studies from socio-urban and epidemiologic point of view. The area of study (south west way border) includes the periurban neighbourhoods of Las Heras, Parque Palermo y Parque Hermoso. It is observed housing situations in the health population with prevalence of entheritis, parathitosis, respiratory disease, skins ones anf others, produced by two silos storing setting in the middle of the neighbourhood and the critical housing conditions, that present the people living there. So that I consider that health developes in a process related with housing conditions as physics precariousness, overcrowding, landholding, sanitary ant sound contamination. By the way, from now on it used the previous Organisación Panamericana de la Salud and World Health Organization's studies inquiring. The methodologic bording is done since secondary source an interviews that refers to an intencional simple of housholders which lives in this neighbourhood area in 2010. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reasons that motivate this paper are refer to the concepts and criteria of valuation of the works of the eclecticism and their authors. This period of time was a unique moment in the history of architecture in which the professionals worked with interdisciplinary teams. We are talking of personalities like the architects Juan Buschiazzo; Pedro Benoit; Bassett Smith; L. Faure Dujarric and Baldassarini. This architects had worked with agents that were representative of the different levels of the society like the Charity Society of Capital; the Unzue Family, Tornquist, Dr. Jara or Dr. Coni. All of them were linked to Mar del Plata because of the social action an the welfare of the local and national community. That is why the seaside city created a new architecture based on the rules of the hygienist to fight with the epidemics that were taking the life of the urban population. Some of the greatest examples of this are the buildings of the Asilo Marino of 1890; the Asilo Unzue of 1905; the Solarium of 1917 and the Hospital Mar del Plata of 1907. It's worthy of mention that the building of the extension blocks wasn't ready till the latest '40. The proposal is knowing and evaluate the values of this new kind of welfare architecture. This kind of architecture remains because of the originality of the designs. So we ask ourselves, Which were their motivations to do the buildings that contributors ask them to do? And: Why do they do this kind of buildings of such an artistic merit? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The peri-urban can be defined as a rural-urban interface area in transition and it constitutes a dynamic territory in constant change and sensitive to different interventions. Therefore, territorial management in these areas constitutes a complex process of growing concern to local governments. In Mar del Plata, this interface shows great internal heterogeneity and a number of socio-environmental problems. This paper aims to elaborate an integrated diagnosis of Mar del Plata Southern peri-urban based on an analysis of its Weaknesses, Threats, Strengths and Opportunities, and to create a set of general guidelines to the peri-urban territorial ordering. Four core problems are identified (worsening of environmental, economic, productivity and life conditions, as well as lack of service and infrastructure provision) and their analysis can be extended to all the peri-urban; its main causes are associated with spheres beyond the field of study, the city limits and even the County. Afterwards, alternatives for the territorial ordering and management are established, thus defining six intervention lines of great importance (areas to recover, reactivate, strengthen, consolidate, qualify, restore).

This paper analyzes the settlement of gated communities in Mar del Plata city (Argentina), centering on the conflict of interest that emerged. The development of three high category buildings, intended for multifamily housing in front of an emblematic public space (Parque General San Martin), were studied. The building projects did not comply with municipal and provincial legislation on land use. Therefore construction was approved through exceptions, causing diverse conflicts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores how teachers' representations mediate their interpretation of the prescribed curriculum and their creation of syllabi in the EFL Teacher Education Program in the School of Humanities, Mar del Plata State University, Argentina. Bourdieu's analytic notion of habitus is employed to interpret these views, derived from actors' narratives. Data were gathered during semi flexible interviews administered to a selection of four professors. Results suggest that instructors pedagogically translate the prescribed curriculum. Bourdieu's categories indicate how each professor's curriculum stems from an objectively obtained lector or auctor habitus. In the pedagogic translation carried out there emerges the domesticated curriculum--or the exercise of symbolic violence. Finally, although this research has a limited number of subjects and is interpretive in character, teachers' representations nevertheless surface as curricular content. Regarding future applications, theorizing on these problematics would allow for their treatment in peer communities aimed at achieving harmonically diverse curricula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To make an approach about the history of people, also means inquiring in its culture, taking into account that those signs which may seem irrelevant will became significant. Thus, many symbolic elements can be rescued from different sources and we can start a huge variety of contrast which legitimize the various identities. The scene of this interpretation will be Mar del Plata, a seaside place during the first years of the twentieth century. In such period, the rural aspect was changing into a typical seaside European village where they could show off and prove their roles. We'll search for unpublished material from the files of Stella Maris School and Church, written papers and visual images. So, as long as we accede to these pieces of visual and written evidence we'll have clear social representations and testimonies of how elite groups held their privileges as opposed to the permanent population.

The research project "Good Teaching Practices and Teacher Education: Contributions Towards a New Pedagogical Agenda" studies good teaching in the EFL Teacher Education Program at the School of Humanities, Mar del Plata State University, Argentina. The investigation proceeds within the framework of the new agenda for didactics. It began by identifying good practices through a semi-open questionnaire administered to a selected sample of good senior students in the Program. Recorded instructors were interviewed by means of a semi-flexible script emphasizing their narrative perspectives. This paper summarizes a comparative analysis of conceptions of good teaching registered for two professors. The interpretation of these stories aims at generating categories to publicly and theoretically signify their private teaching experiences. This process allows for the exploration of some of the complexities concerning pre-service EFL teaching education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
