Renato Loss fue un geólogo italiano que trabajó en el Instituto de Geología y Minería de Jujuy, Argentina, entre 1948 y 1952. Descubrió importantes localidades con graptolitos del Paleozoico temprano del Noroeste argentino y realizó aportes pioneros para el conocimiento de este grupo. La “Colección Loss” se conserva, desde hace más de seis décadas, en el Museo de Ciencias Naturales “Dr. Saturnino Iglesias” del Instituto de Geología y Minería de la Universidad Nacional de Jujuy. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de sucesivas revisiones sistemáticas de los graptolitos que integran la misma. Se identificaron 14 especies, provenientes de distintos depósitos ordovícicos y silúricos de nueve localidades fosilíferas de las provincias de Salta y Jujuy, Argentina, de las cuales algunas se mencionan por primera vez en la región. Además, se incluyen las descripciones de cinco especies de material coleccionado por distintos investigadores en la Cuesta de Toquero, una localidad cercana a las estudiadas por el Dr. Loss, que se conservan en el repositorio paleontológico del Centro de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Tierra, Córdoba, Argentina. Los resultados del análisis taxonómico permiten agregar valor a la colección estudiada, mediante la transferencia científica de su conocimiento. Aportan nuevas consideraciones acerca de la edad sugerida por las especies de importancia bioestratigráfica y permiten ajustar la correlación de los depósitos que las contienen.

The objective of this article is to analyze the articulation between neo-extractivist policies and neoindigenist policies in Jujuy, Argentina, between the years 2015 and 2022. Specifically, we study the articulation of the Secretariat of Indigenous Peoples with other spheres of the provincial State and with indigenous communities. We address three cases: the sanction of Law 5915 in 2016, the creation of the Intercultural Police in 2018, and the project to install the Free Zone in Quiaca Vieja (department of Yavi, Puna region) in 2018-2022. We hold as a hypothesis that the indigenist institutionality operates to legitimize the neo-extractivist economic policy that is presented as a renewal of the productive matrix. We return to a qualitative methodology and use documentary review and interviews with key informants as data construction techniques. Our theoretical framework includes critical perspectives on neo-extractivism and neo-indigenism, as well as contributions from Indian-indigenous political thought. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este documento se presentan las primeras aproximaciones al boxeo, resultantes del trabajo de campo en dos gimnasios de la ciudad de San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina. Se estructura en dos secciones que se complementan y que de ninguna forma constituyen un todo acabado, sino que dan lugar a la emergencia de nuevos interrogantes y otros caminos posibles, con el propósito de comprender la complejidad de los procesos sociales en torno a los cuerpos y los géneros en este deporte. En un primer momento, se destaca la importancia de adoptar una mirada interseccional para la problematización de las experiencias y del entrecruzamiento de diversas formas de opresión. También, se expone una reflexión sobre las perspectivas que se consideran fundamentales para la investigación del boxeo desde el campo de la comunicación y los estudios sociales del deporte. En una segunda instancia, atravesada por los lineamientos anteriores, se exponen las reflexiones emergentes del primer acercamiento a la práctica boxística. A la par que se busca comprender qué y cómo comunican les jóvenes mediante sus cuerpos, si sus cuerpos están dando cuenta de experiencias desiguales entre los géneros y cómo es el aprendizaje y la enseñanza, se entrelazan a estos caminos una reflexión de la participación y los privilegios de les investigadores en ese campo.

The dismantling of the Tupac Amaru Neighborhood Organization in Jujuy, Argentina, a major provider of jobs and services, generated limited resistance even among people who had benefited from it. Exploration of the role of counterhegemonic challenges in this process through ethnographic fieldwork, interviews with activists and scholars, newspaper archives, and social movement materials shows that the organization purposefully increased the visibility of stigmatized segments of Jujuy society, defying official narratives about the province. This strategy allowed the organization to recruit members and raise its national profile but also engendered the unified opposition of local elites, which used their control of strategic assets to turn public opinion against activists, portraying them as violent, corrupt, and above all foreign. El desmantelamiento de la Organización vecinal Túpac Amaru en Jujuy, Argentina, un importante proveedor de empleos y servicios, generó una resistencia limitada incluso entre las personas que se habían beneficiado de ella. Una exploración de trabajo de campo etnográfico en torno al papel que jugaron los desafíos contrahegemónicos en este proceso, así como entrevistas con activistas y académicos, y consulta de materiales hemerotécnicos y de movimientos sociales muestra que la organización aumentó deliberadamente la visibilidad de segmentos estigmatizados de la sociedad jujeña, desafiando las narrativas oficiales sobre la provincia. Esta estrategia permitió a la organización reclutar miembros y elevar su perfil nacional, pero también engendró la oposición unificada de las élites locales, que utilizaron su control de activos estratégicos para volver a la opinión pública en contra de los activistas, presentándolos como violentos, corruptos y, sobre todo, foráneos.

Cingulata (Mammalia, Xenarthra) is one of the most conspicuous clades in the Cenozoic fossil record of South America, largely due to the high abundance of disarticulated osteoderms in most fossiliferous sites of the continent. Nevertheless, the fragmentary nature of this material hinders the identification of extinct taxa, particularly in groups that do not exhibit great shape diversity in the ornamentation of the osteoderms, as occurs in armadillos of the clade Dasypodini (long-nosed armadillos). Methodologies that quantify shape variability could offer an alternative strategy for identifying these fragmentary fossil remains. In the present study, we apply geometric morphometric analysis to assess shape variation of Dasypodini osteoderms. First, we evaluate previous referrals of two isolated late Miocene osteoderms to Dasypus, one identified as Dasypus sp. from the Guanaco Formation (Jujuy province, Argentina) and the other identified as D. neogaeus from the Ituzaingó Formation (Entre Ríos province, Argentina). Second, we evaluate the identification of a disarticulated osteoderm from the middle Miocene of Brazil to Anadasypus sp. nov.?. Our results distinguish two main generic clusters, Plesiodasypus + Anadasypus and Dasypus + Propraopus, supporting previous referral of disarticulated osteoderms from Jujuy and Entre Ríos to the genus Dasypus. This confirms the extension of the biochron of Dasypus by at least 3 million years, from the early Pliocene to the late Miocene. The present contribution offers a new application for geometric morphometrics to evaluate taxonomic assignments of fossil Dasypodini osteoderms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

Human population and cities are growing fast, with a concomitant modification of the land surface. Urbanization is driving biodiversity loss and biological homogenization, which impacts human wellbeing. In this study, we evaluated the influence of urbanization on flower visitor assemblage using an interaction network approach. We assessed the effect of different variables at the local and landscape scales on community parameters and network metrics along a gradient of urbanization located in a subtropical montane Yungas forest. We found that local variables affected the richness of flower visitors, which increased with greater flower coverage, high stability of floral resources, and the proportion of exotic plants. Moreover, local variables affected the diversity, nestedness (NODF), and specialization (H2) of the interaction network. Landscape variables, such as altitude and proportion of impervious surface (a proxy of urbanization), affected both the richness of flower visitors and specialization. The effect of urbanization on the richness of flower visitors differed across the altitudinal gradient, with higher impact at higher altitudes. In conclusion, our results indicate that local and landscape variables affect community parameters and the structure of plant-flower visitor networks to different extents and strengths.

Microphyes (Caryophyllaceae) is a genus endemic to Chile that is recorded here for the first time for Argentina based upon the collection of M. minima in the Reserva Provincial Altoandina La Chinchilla (Dpto. Rinconada, Jujuy). The species is described and illustrated and environment notes about its habitat are supplied. A geographical distribution map is provided for the species in Argentina and Chile, and a lectotype is designated for Talinum minimum. On the other hand, the phylogenetic position of the genera within tribe Polycarpeae is confirmed. Finally, a dichotomous key to the 26 Caryophyllaceae genera recorded in Argentina is provided.

This article analyzes the process of patrimonialization of the Pachamama in Jujuy, between the mid-1990s and the present. Through the analysis of laws, journalistic documents and ethnographic observations, it is shown how the Pachamama was characterized as an object and a religious and cultural practice typical of the Andean world, while progressively signifying as "nature" in a modern sense. Based on an analysis that reconstructs the practices, procedures, acts and regulations promoted by the provincial state of Jujuy through which Pachamama was patrimonialized, it is shown how this process was articulated with the deepening of a regional economic model sustained in extractivism in indigenous territories, and with a neo-developmentalist imaginary in which Pachamama was placed as a "guarantor" of the model carried out by the government from greenwashing speeches.

Entre 1815 y mediados de la década de 1820 la mayoría de los pueblos o ciudades rioplatenses, protagonistas del proceso revolucionario, se separó de sus demarcaciones provinciales y proclamó también su independencia y soberanía. Las historiografías políticas sobre estas trayectorias, denominadas “procesos de autonomía provincial”, atribuyeron sentidos posteriores a experiencias que contuvieron modulaciones diversas. Este trabajo propone revisar algunas claves jurisdiccionales de los procesos de segregación de las ciudades de Santiago del Estero y Jujuy en dos coyunturas críticas para el conjunto rioplatense, 1815 y 1820, en las que el resultado de estas dinámicas territoriales no estaba predeterminado, ni definido en términos de autonomía. Más allá de los momentos de confrontación pueden advertirse mecanismos de construcción de vínculos políticos fundados en la pervivencia de una cultura jurisdiccional.

Considerando las vertientes historiográficas que subrayan el carácter negociado-pactado del Estado liberal del siglo XIX, en este trabajo se sostiene que la transferencia de la hacienda de Valle Grande (Jujuy, Argentina) de manos de sus propietarios a quienes allí vivían y trabajaban fue una vía de solución a la extendida y compleja disputa por estas tierras. Se analiza en contexto y en contenido la denuncia de 1882 contra los derechos de propiedad allí ejercidos y se reconstruyen los acontecimientos vinculados a la tenencia de la tierra, los actores sociales y las actuaciones desarrolladas entre las décadas de 1830 y 1870, como prueba de esa principal conjetura.

The objective of this work was to realize a preliminary stydy the diversity, composition and structure of the aquatic and semiaquatic Heteroptera assemblage of Río Grande basin (Jujuy, Argentina) along a temporal and spatial gradient. For the first time, a list of the taxa inhabiting the area is presented, which includes 11 genera belonging to eight families. The sites corresponding to the lower basin exhibited higher diversity, and the genus Rhagovelia was the most abundant in both hydrological seasons. In contrast, the upper basin exhibited a low diversity, and its assemblage was dominated by Ectemnostega, both in the wet and dry season. Significant differences in the diversity of aquatic and semiaquatic bugs at the temporal level were not found in this basin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El trabajo tendrá como propósito identificar las categorías de relacionalidad y complementariedad en El socavón plateado. Cuentos y relatos de mineros de Wanca Willca, autor jujeño. El libro se compone de cuentos que se podrían definir como infanto-juveniles —en los que se narran historias en las que no siempre hay finales felices— ambientadas en el cruento espacio de las minas. Mediante la aplicación de las categorías de relacionalidad y complementariedad, el ensayo planteará la identificación, en los cuentos, de dos maneras de lidiar con esa violencia. La primera estará enfocada desde la perspectiva de la relacionalidad del hombre con lo que lo rodea, desde el amparo que proporcionan las huacas o dioses tutelares que auxilian y permiten restaurar el equilibrio. Una segunda orientación será desde el rol preponderante de la comunidad, la complementariedad con el otro como núcleo de acción salvífica y único recurso de liberación.

El artículo propone una etnografía histórica y comparativa sobre la primera expansión evangélica en el piedemonte y el altiplano andinos de la provincia de Jujuy, Argentina. Aunque en condiciones ecológicas y demográficas distintas, esta expansión evangélica ocurrió durante la primera mitad del siglo XX como parte del mismo proceso, en tanto fue impulsada por una corriente misionera de origen británico y posteriormente por evangelistas indígenas, en los marcos de la construcción del Estado Nación y de las economías de enclave -azucarera en el piedemonte, minera en el altiplano. El argumento central es que el encuentro de poblaciones guaraníes y collas con esta nueva religión, y el proceso de adopción de la misma, operó tendiente a un proceso de

El artículo busca avanzar en la producción de conocimiento sobre las violencias estatales, profundizando y complejizando el análisis de la violencia institucional desde un enfoque de género, diversidad y derechos humanos, a partir del estudio de un caso de violencia policial producido en contra de una joven trans durante el ASPO en la provincia de Jujuy. Se considerarán especialmente las condiciones sistemáticas y estructurales de discriminación y violencia que atraviesan el colectivo de mujeres travestis, transexuales y transgénero, como consecuencia de prejuicios y estereotipos que responden a una concepción cisbinaria de la sociedad y que constituyen obstáculos para el acceso igualitario a los derechos, derivados de la falta de implementación de políticas públicas y de barreras concretas en el acceso a la justicia. En este sentido, repensar las categorías desde las que se analiza la violencia institucional constituye una estrategia capaz de avanzar hacia la inclusión en dignidad y derechos del colectivo de mujeres trans, entendiendo que no basta con respetar las diferencias, sino que es necesario avanzar hacia una democracia plural, diversa e inclusiva que reconozca y garantice ciudadanía en términos de igualdad y no discriminación a todas las personas.

El presente artículo se aboca al rol de la municipalidad de San Salvador de Jujuy en torno a la reglamentación y distribución del agua para riego. La aparición de ese nivel de gobierno data del año 1856, y su puesta en funcionamiento y normalización incluyó, entre otras cuestiones, los elementos normativos que aquí consideramos. Trabajos anteriores han analizado ese contexto y la problemática derivada entre los poderes provincial y municipal para legislar el recurso hídrico, en este artículo pretendemos abordar las décadas de 1860 hasta 1890, que de alguna manera estuvieron signadas por un mayor desenvolvimiento institucional aunque, como se buscará demostrar, no implicó que la municipalidad adquiriera las facultades subjetivas de mando en términos weberianos, para poder disponer de los cánones de riego y los funcionarios destinados a vigilar el reparto del agua.

El artículo identifica las armas utilizadas por españoles, indios y criollos durante el siglo XVIII en el Tucumán (Jujuy). Desde una perspectiva de historia cultural se examinan diversos tipos de documentos para indagar sobre los instrumentos de la microfísica del poder y el contradictorio monopolio de la violencia.

Introduction. Size at birth is subject to genetic and environmental influences; altitude is highly influential. Birth weight (BW) is the most widely used indicator to assess size at birth; different standards and references are available. Due to the variability in BW distribution in relation to altitude in the province of Jujuy (Argentina), the purpose of this study is to analyze the percentile distribution of BW in the highlands (HL) and the lowlands (LL) of Jujuy based on gestational age (GA) and sex and compare it with a national reference and the INTERGROWTH-21st (IG-21) international standard. Population and methods. The records of 78 524 live births in Jujuy in the 2009-2014 period were analyzed. Using the LMS method, the 3rd, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 97th percentiles of BW/GA by sex were estimated for the HL (≥ 2000 MASL), the LL (< 2000 MASL), and the total for Jujuy, and compared with the Argentine population reference by Urquía and the IG-21 standard using growth charts. The statistical significance was established using the Wilcoxon test. Results. BW in Jujuy showed a heterogeneous distribution, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the LL and the HL. When compared with the national reference and the IG-21 standard, differences in terms of altitude were observed, mainly in the 90th and 97th percentiles for both regions and the 3rd and 10th percentiles in the HL compared with the international standard. Conclusions. BW distribution varied in association with altitude; therefore, to assess intrauterine growth, it is critical to include GA and the environment in which the pregnancy takes place., (Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría.)

Se analizaron muestras de los diarios de mayor tradición de Jujuy: El Tribuno de Jujuy y Pregón, mediante el análisis del discurso. Para ello, se realizó una observación comparativa entre las portadas de los diarios y la sección deportiva, enfocando la mirada hacia el motivo fútbol, como uno de los ejes posibles en la construcción de la identidad jujeña. El propósito de este trabajo fue pensar cómo se vinculan el deporte, la cultura y la identidad para tratar de entender como en el deporte se hacen presente rasgos de identidad que se refuerzan y se reafirman, e incluso se reformulan todo el tiempo. De esta manera, se reflexionó sobre los modos en que ambos diarios construyen sus discursos apropiándose de términos y jerarquizaciones a la hora de presentar su contenido deportivo, observando especialmente como las notas del fútbol local reflejan y refuerzan los imaginarios identitarios jujeños.

Un rasgo particular de la política jujeña bajo el orden conservador fue la presencia de un fuerte personalismo que afectó la vida política, el funcionamiento de las instituciones provinciales y la relación entre la provincia y el gobierno nacional. Me refiero al accionar del senador Domingo T. Pérez, quien representó a la provincia ante el Senado Nacional durante casi un cuarto de siglo, entre 1886 y 1910. En este trabajo me concentro sobre la organización de la vida política de esa provincia con centro en la carrera del senador Pérez, quien se convirtió en el árbitro de la política jujeña en las últimas dos décadas del orden conservador.

In forest species that present a determined growth, the buds generate marks that are used to estimate the ages along the apical shoots or branches, by counting the internodes. In order to estimate the age along the branches in threatened and slow-growing species, such as Polylepis tarapacana Phil., it is crucial to have non-destructive techniques that avoid the collection of branches, sapling or complete specimens. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the potentiality of the age estimation technique, which uses external marks along the branch in P. tarapacana. We worked with 13 apical branches collected in 13 forests in the town of Lagunillas del Farallón, Dpt. Rinconada. Shoot marks were counted on each branch using two methods: a) along the 20 cm length of the main branch and b) on a lateral shoot of the main branch, three marks were counted along the length of the shoot. It was analyzed if the mark count adjusts to age with a mixed generalized linear model (Glmm), including tree as a random factor (n=26). The results indicate that there is potential for applying this technique, but in order to generate a reliable model, it would be necessary to collect a larger number of samples in future research.

En este artículo examinamos formas de organización y dinámicas de acción colectiva durante un episodio que ocurrió en la jurisdicción de Jujuy en 1781. Hacia fines de marzo de ese año, indígenas chaqueños, soldados partidarios de la frontera, otros habitantes de la zona sur oriental y la “plebe” de la ciudad se habrían preparado por medio de distintas acciones para atacar la ciudad de Jujuy. El análisis se centra en distinguir las maneras en que se realizaron las convocatorias a participar, los canales y modos de circulación de información y los desplazamientos de personas por la jurisdicción. Buscamos identificar, además, los procesos de toma de decisiones, las formas de repartir las tareas y la estructura interna del movimiento. Nuestro interés radica en reconstruir los significados de las prácticas y las visiones que sobre el orden colonial tenía la población de la jurisdicción de Jujuy a fines del siglo XVIII.

En las especies forestales que presentan un crecimiento determinado, las yemas generan marcas que se usan para estimar las edades a lo largo de brotes apicales o de ramas, mediante el conteo de entrenudos. Para estimar la edad a lo largo de las ramas en especies amenazadas y de crecimiento lento, como es el caso de Polylepis tarapacana Phil., es crucial contar con técnicas no destructivas que eviten colectar ramas, renovales o ejemplares completos. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la potencialidad de la técnica de estimación de la edad que utiliza las marcas externas a lo largo de la rama en P. tarapacana. Se trabajó con 13 ramas apicales colectadas en 13 bosques de la localidad de Lagunillas del Farallón, Dto. de Rinconada. En cada una de las ramas se realizó el conteo de marcas de brotes utilizando dos métodos: a) a lo largo de los 20 cm de longitud de la rama principal y b) en un brote lateral de la rama principal, se contaron tres marcas a lo largo del brote. Se analizó si el conteo de marcas se ajusta a la edad con un modelo linear generalizado mixto (Glmm), incluyendo el factor aleatorio árbol (n=26). Los resultados indican que existe potencial para aplicar esta técnica, pero para generar un modelo confiable sería necesario colectar un mayor número de muestras en futuras investigaciones.

Background: The increase of excess weight around the world is progressive and sustained in children. This is the most prevalent form of malnutrition in this population and they represent the major public health problem in developed and developing countries. The aim of this study was to analyze the magnitude of change in thinness and excess weight prevalence in 4-7 years-old schoolchildren from Jujuy (Argentina), between 1996 and 2015 and to examine the association according to sex and school location.Methods: Cross-sectional study. Data was obtained from databases of School Health programs and it is representative of the city school population. For the analysis, 31,014 schoolchildren between 4 and 7 years old were evaluated, 20,224 from the first period (1996-2001) and 10,790 from the second (2010-2015). The city was partitioned in three different areas determined by the rivers that cross it. Nutritional status was determined by BMI for age with the criteria suggested by the International Obesity Task Force. The percentage of malnutrition change between periods was calculated and a binomial regression model was adjusted.Results: Between periods, a significant (p-value< 0.0001) increase in the prevalence of overweight from 15.1% (CI 14.6-15.6%) to 18.1% (CI 17.4-18.8%) and obesity from 5% (CI 4.7-5.3) to 10.7% (CI 10.1-11.3%), and a decrease of thinness prevalence from 6.3% (CI 6.0-6.7%) to 4.7% (CI 4.3-5.1%) were observed. The percentage of change in the prevalence of obesity was very high in all areas and in both sexes (103.5% girls; 125.6% in boys), being higher in the south for girls (122.4%) and in the north for boys (158.8%). Besides, being a boy was inversely associated with the presence of excess weight and, as the age increases, the presence of obesity does it too. By analyzing the effect of the school location, the south and north zones had an inverse association with the presence of obesity. The period has a direct association with the presence of excess weight.Conclusion: The study contributes with valuable information on the magnitude of the increase in obesity in schoolchildren and suggests a possible correlation with sex and spatial distribution in the capital city of Jujuy.

This article aims to analyze trajectories of social activists in the province of Jujuy, Argentina, investigating the way in which the subjects establish their commitment, the conditions that determine their militant registration and their political work. In this sense, the history of two militants of social organizations that began military in the period (1990-2015) will be analyzed through a microstructural study, recovering the career perspective proposed by Howard Becker. To achieve the established objectives, a qualitative methodology was developed using the life story technique, which allowed reconstructing the trajectories, recovering the look that the militants have on their own activity.

Introducción y objetivo: La Selva Pedemontana es el distrito de las Yungas de Argentina más afectado por actividades antrópicas, siendo el Parque Nacional Calilegua (PN, Jujuy) el área de mayor superficie protegida de esta selva en Argentina. Fabaceae es una de las principales familias de Espermatofitas por su diversidad e importancia económica y también una de las más importantes de la Selva Pedemontana, por el número de especies, abundancia de individuos y variedad de hábitos. En la Flora de Jujuy esta familia no fue abordada. El objetivo del trabajo es presentar una síntesis de las especies de Fabaceae encontradas en Selva Pedemontana de Jujuy, como contribución al conocimiento de esta familia en la provincia. M&M: Se coleccionaron e identificaron ejemplares en estado reproductivo del área con Selva Pedemontana del PN Calilegua. Se revisó además la colección de ejemplares del Herbario JUA y bibliografía de la familia, registrando las especies presentes en Selva Pedemontana de Jujuy (departamentos Ledesma, Santa Bárbara y San Pedro), y las bases de datos Documentae Florae Australis (https://www.darwin.edu.ar/iris), Flora del Cono Sur (http://www.darwin.edu.ar/proyectos/floraargentina/fa.htm) y Tropicos (https://www.tropicos.org/home). Resultados y Conclusiones: Se registraron 48 géneros y 92 especies, 47 de ellas están presentes en el PN Calilegua. Se coleccionó por primera vez para Jujuy y segunda para Argentina a Centrosema variifolium. Se menciona como novedad para Jujuy a Sesbania exasperata y amplía la distribución de Vachellia albicorticata y Senna obtusifolia. Muchas de las especies se encuentran en estado de conservación preocupante, por los desmontes y actividades de aprovechamiento forestal.

Background and aims: Lowland Mountain Forest is the Yungas district of Argentina most affected by anthropic activities, with Calilegua National Park (Jujuy) being the largest protected area of this forest in Argentina. Fabaceae is one of the main families of Spermatophytes due to its diversity and economic importance and it is also one of the most important families of the Lowland Mountain Forest, because of its number of species and abundance of individuals, and the variety of growth habits. In the Flora of Jujuy, Fabaceae has not been approached. The aim of the study is to present a synthesis of the Fabaceae species from the Lowland Mountain Forest, as a contribution to the knowledge of this family in the province. M&M: We collected and identified specimens in reproductive state from the Lowland Mountain Forest of the Calilegua National Park. We also revised the collection of the JUA Herbarium and family's bibliography, recording the species present in Jujuy's Lowland Mountain Forest (Ledesma, Santa Barbara and San Pedro departments), and Flora del Cono Sur (http://www.darwin.edu.ar/proyectos/floraargentina/fa.htm), Documentae Florae Australis (https://www.darwin.edu.ar/iris) and Tropicos databases (https://www.tropicos.org/home). Results and Conclusions: We registered 48 genera and 92 species, 47 of which are in the Calilegua National Park. Centrosema variifolium was collected for the first time for Jujuy and second for Argentina. Sesbania exasperata mentioned as a novelty for Jujuy. The distribution of Vachellia albicorticata and Senna obtusifolia is extended. Many of the species are in a state of conservation concern, due to clearing and logging activities.

Chlosyne lacinia saundersii (Doubleday) is a polyphagous lepidopteran that produces a great defoliation in its host plants. The objective of this work was to determine the development and survival time of C. lacinia saundersii and to report aspects of its natural history on "Cuban grass" Tithonia tubaeformis (Jacq.) Cass. (Asteraceae). Caterpillars from the field were kept in cages in a rearing chamber under controlled conditions and fed with leaves of T. tubaeformis until adults' emergence. To the latter, a honey solution and T. tubaeformis flowers was given. The life cycle duration was 48 days (egg: 8.0 days; larva: 24.9; pupa: 6.9 days; adult: 8.3 days) with six larval stages. The survival of each stage of development was high (> 70%) but considering the period from egg to pupa, only 52% of the individuals reached adulthood. Larval gregariousness was observed. In relation to the sexes there is a predominance of females (1.1:1). Female pupae were heavier than males. This work represents the first contribution to the knowledge of the biology of C. lacinia saundersii under laboratory conditions on T. tubaeformis. Cuban grass is confirmed as a new alternative host plant for C. lacinia saundersii. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stevia Cav. (Asteraceae, Eupatorieae) includes ca. 235 species distributed from United States of America to Chile and Argentina in South America. During the taxonomic revision of the Argentinian species several specimens belonging to Stevia mandonii Sch. Bip. were found in the province of Jujuy, where it had not been previously cited. In this framework, the goals of the present article are 1) to report the species in Argentina for the first time, 2) to differentiate it among morphologically close species, and 3) to perform a taxonomical analysis based on herbarium specimens, populations in the field, bibliography and type material. Morphology was analyzed by means of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Stevia mandonii is readily distinguished by its small size of 10-20 cm, rounded leaves and pappus formed by 9-17 bristles with presence of heterocarpy. A detailed morphological description, an illustration, a geographic distribution map, and a key to species of Stevia that occur in Jujuy are provided.

Numerous slides, rock falls and flows occur in the arid mountainous areas of northwestern Argentina. On 10 January 2017, torrential rain caused the acceleration of large-scale and slow-moving landslides mainly in the Los Filtros basin and it produces important damage in the Volcán village causing fatalities, dozens of evacuees and great economic losses, with the total destruction of buildings, services and infrastructure. However, in the two adjacent creek basins, the Coiruro basin to the north and Del Medio basin to the south, the effects were smaller. A morphometric analysis of these three adjacent basins was carried out in order to understand this catastrophic event and to explore its causes. The geological characteristics of the study basins are very favourable conditioning factors in landslide generation. Precambrian-age low grade metaclastics shatter in the frost climate of the higher mountains and poorly consolidated Quaternary deposits along the sides of the gully erode readily and become source material for landslides. Also, the area, shape, relief and slope of the basins would have been other key factors in the debris/mud flow generation in the Los Filtros creek basin. The Melton ratio number has been a key morphometric index to discriminate river basins susceptible to different types of flows. Finally, this study aims to increase knowledge of all the above-mentioned events in order to provide several methods of analysis for landslide prevention and control in adjacent basins whit different dynamics in the Central Andes.

Taking as a starting point versions of the widely renowned myth of the twins registered among Guarani people of Calilegua (Jujuy, Argentina), I intend to analyze its historical and political implications in the light of some of the contributions of the ontological turn. The tale of the twins allows the Guarani with whom I work to reflect about their origin and think themselves in the history as an ancestral nation which expanded across the American continent in mythical time. Far from an abstraction, this myth of origin involves a historical and political position against those discourses that stigmatize Guarani of Jujuy as "foreigners" and bring their ancestrality in the territory into question. Instead of questioning the truth about these other histories or claiming historiographical coincidence, taking native indigenous myths seriously leads to the political project of pluralizing history.

En este artículo reevaluamos una serie de acciones colectivas ocurridas en 1781 en la ciudad, los valles surorientales y la frontera con el Chaco de Jujuy Reconstruimos para ello la intervención y las representaciones discursivas que autoridades coloniales de Jujuy y de la gobernación del Tucumán realizaron sobre el sitio a fuertes de la frontera, circulación de noticias y rumores sobre el Rey Inka en el Perú, reuniones y un inminente ataque a la ciudad de Jujuy.

What does it mean to be located in particular places, when said place is an Argentine border province, when such a location is questioned on the basis of the senses of city offered by local audio-visual narratives, and when that question seeks to analyse a cultural configuration shocked by the debate around the redistribution of the power of visualising the social order and its conflicts through televisual audio- visualisation?The research framework of this essay addresses, the level of conflict in the social realm, expressed in the heterogeneous, historical, conflictive and contingent interpretations of the city (as a common space), by various actors in unequal conditions in order to construe in unequal conditions, in order to construe their urban experience. These senses of city, either as part of common sense or as coherent forms that fight it, are part of the cultural disputes around social relations and positions related to audio-visual region explored in this work.

This work proposes to analyze the relationship between ritual and social change delving in transformations in burial rituals and religious celebrations of the secular cabildo at colonial jurisdiction of Jujuy at the end of the XVIII century. The scope of the ecclesiastical policies implemented by the Bourbons is studied, considering how they affected the dynamics of these ritual practices. In this sense, the so-called process of “Bourbon secularization” is explored from documentary sources in order to ask about the role of ritual in the processes of reformulation of “the religious” in different fields of social life.

La artritis y encefalitis Caprina (CAEV) puede presentar diferentes síntomas clínicos, siendo la artritis la más común. A fin de caracterizar la presencia de enfermedades en las majadas caprinas del noroeste argentino, se llevó a cabo una encuesta sanitaria a productores, con toma de muestras biológicas para el diagnóstico de enfermedades en la que fue incluida CAEV. Se efectuó un análisis serológico con un ELISA indirecto y se completó con un examen clínico general de los animales y toma de muestra de necropsia de algunos de los casos. En la Provincia de Salta, tres establecimientos fueron positivos, con un 6,25% de prevalencia. La seroprevalencia del hato con seguimiento de caso fue del 55% mientras que el 48% presentó signos clínicos donde la artritis de la articulación carpal fue la más frecuentemente afectada. El virus CAEV está distribuido en la provincia de Salta y la severidad de las lesiones observadas sugiere la presencia de nuevas cepas que deben ser investigadas conjuntamente al desarrollo de capacidades locales para el diagnóstico, clave de cualquier plan de erradicación. SUMMARY. Characterization of caprine arthritis-encephalitis disease in Salta and Jujuy provinces. Caprine arthritis and encephalitis virus (CAEV) may present different clinical symptoms, with arthritis being the most common. In order to characterize the presence of diseases in goats from the Argentinean northwest, a sanitary survey was carried out to producers, with biological sampling for the diagnosis of diseases in which CAEV was included. A serological analysis was performed with an indirect ELISA and was completed with a general clinical examination of the animals and a necropsy sample collection of some of the cases. In the Province of Salta, three establishments were positive, with a prevalence of 6.25%. The serum prevalence of the herd with case follow-up was 55%, while 48% presented clinical signs where arthritis of the carpal joint was most frequently affected. The CAEV virus is spread in the province of Salta and the severity of the observed lesions suggests the presence of new strains that should be investigated in combination with the development of local capacities for diagnosis, this is the key to any eradication plan.

Resumen:En este artículo se determinan las característi­cas de las prácticas y representaciones del movimiento estudiantil secundario antipero­nista en Jujuy en los inicios de la “Revolución Libertadora”, en el marco de su participación en la expulsión del peronismo en la escuela media. En torno a esta problemática, se pone la atención en el contexto político y los con­flictos en los que se enmarcó este actor colec­tivo. En lo que concierne a la interpretación realizada, cabe señalar que el movimiento estudiantil intervino de manera activa en el proceso señalado, reproduciendo el imagina­rio arraigado en el antiperonismo y constru­yendo sus propias lecturas del campo político y social. En cuanto a lo metodológico, el ar­tículo se funda en la consulta de fuentes alo­jadas en archivos de Jujuy y de antecedentes bibliográficos que tratan sobre el problema de las representaciones sociales y que proveen esquemas conceptuales para la comprensión del movimiento estudiantil y la Revolución Libertadora.

The Dancing History Collection provides new source materials for inquiry in dance history and culture, using reconstruction as a methodology for research. The emphasis of the Collection is to enable the performance of representative movement from different places and times, to deepen dance research practice that has relied heavily on viewing dances. The Dancing History Collection: Cultural Dances, Part 1 contains nine dances from six countries: Israel; Vietnam; India; Nigeria; Argentina and Finland. Each chapter includes factual information, descriptions, and an intra-cultural perspective derived from oral interviews of cultural, historical, or stylistic experts.New understanding can be gained by reconstructing dances, entering them, and identifying what the experience of the dances entails. The Collection provides original Labanotation scores that document cultural dances that have not previously been available in dance score format for reconstruction. Reconstructions of the dances reveal how they work with variables such as: the design of space; level of movement difficulty; involvement of different parts of the body; music/dance relationships; and the use of individual dancers versus pairs of dancers, or groups made of many pairs or individuals.

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis zooarqueológico de una muestra procedente del sitio arqueológico Cóndor II, ubicado en el tramo superior de la Quebrada de Cóndor (departamento Humahuaca, Jujuy). La muestra estudiada procede de dos niveles de ocupación humana, fechados por radiocarbono en 1130 y 960 AP, pertenecientes por tanto al período de Desarrollos Regionales I (PDR1) (ca. 900-1250 DC), según las periodizaciones regionales. La muestra analizada se caracteriza por el predominio de especímenes óseos correspondientes a camélidos sudamericanos. Debido a ello, además del relevamiento de huellas, se realiza un estudio osteométrico tradicional a partir de mediciones efectuadas en primeras y segundas falanges de este taxón con el objetivo de lograr una primera aproximación a la identificación de especies silvestres y/o domésticas en el sitio.

Este artí­culo se inserta dentro del conjunto de estudios que analizan la historia de la enfermerí­a en la Argentina. Tiene como objetivo examinar los cambios y permanencias producidos en el proceso de profesionalización de la enfermerí­a en la provincia de Jujuy, a partir de la creación de la escuela de enfermerí­a durante el gobierno del primer peronismo (1946-1955). En un distrito que por entonces exhibí­a preocupantes condiciones sanitarias, esta etapa estará signada por relevantes avances en la materia, aunque no exenta de revisiones y reformulaciones, al calor de debates y reorganizaciones llevados a cabo también a nivel nacional.

Steppes and grasslands of semiarid environments in the Central Andes are poorly understood in fossil records due to the lack of modern pollen–vegetation studies. This paper is focused on a systematic analysis of the modern pollen–vegetation relationship in three protected areas of the Puna in Jujuy, northwestern Argentina. Vegetation assemblages were described on the basis of their floristic composition in 32 plots. Different multivariate methods, indices of association and simple linear regression models were applied in order to investigate the degree to which the different vegetation assemblages can be distinguished by their pollen spectra. Five plant assemblages were described, which were partially represented by their pollen spectra: mixed and shrubby steppes, scrubland, grassland with shrubs and high Andean grassland. The pollen spectra reflected both altitudinal variations and environmental conditions. In the Puna belt, at 3600 m, shrubs were present in great abundance and their highest pollen percentages were recorded. Both the abundance of Poaceae herbs and their pollen type increased with increasing altitude up to 4220 m, indicating the transition towards the Altoandean belt. Pollen assemblages evidenced the following environmental conditions: (1) the temperature decrease is characterized by taxa adapted to either cold air (<7 °C) or cold soil (Aridisols-Cryids/Inceptisols-Ustepts type) including Poaceae, Frankenia triandra, Apiaceae, Hoffmansegia glauca, Ephedra, Caryophyllaceae; (2) moisture availability in the soil can be discernible by assemblages indicating dry soil (Aridisols-Durids type), such as Baccharis, Fabiana densa, Maihuniopsis boliviana, Fabaceae, Tetraglochin cristatum and Nassauvia axilaris, from those indicating humid soil (Entisols-Psaments type), such as Parastrephia, Astragalus garbancillo and Gentianaceae. Four taxa exhibited both a good association and a significant correlation and could be considered indicative of the steppe (Baccharis and M. boliviana), scrublands (Parastrephia) and grassland (Poaceae) in a fossil record. This work has important implications for interpreting the dynamics of vegetation during the Holocene in the Puna. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
