Abstract The extensive excavations at the Memorial de la Bandera site in the city of Mendoza, central zone of west-central Argentina, has allowed the recovery of evidence of human settlement in the foothills of northern Mendoza province. This area had shown few archaeological references due to extensive urban development. In this work, features and materials are analyzed, in order to understand the characteristics of the occupations and their subsistence in the foothills, their chronology and their development of lithic and ceramic technology. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the site was occupied between ca. 2100 and 1200 years BP, making it one of the earliest recorded in the piedmont of northern Mendoza province. The stability of settlement and possible cultivation is suggested based on the evidence of semi-subterranean houses, combustion traces and plant remains. The early occupation in this environment is related to the incorporation of ceramic technology in the region. Both its location next to an alluvial channel and the characteristic of archaeofaunal and anthracological remains indicate the possible existence of wetlands in the past. The lithic technology and archaeofaunal remains allow discussion about these occupations within the framework of the economic intensification process postulated for the region and the Southern Cone.

Resumen Las excavaciones en el sitio Memorial de la Bandera ubicado en la ciudad de Mendoza, faja central del Centro Oeste Argentino, permitieron recuperar evidencias del asentamiento humano en el piedemonte normendocino. Este sector contaba con escasas referencias arqueológicas debido al amplio desarrollo urbano. En este trabajo se analizan rasgos y materiales, con el objetivo de conocer las características de las ocupaciones y subsistencia en el piedemonte, su cronología y el desarrollo de la tecnología lítica y cerámica. Los fechados indican que el sitio fue ocupado entre ca. 2100 y 1200 años AP y es uno de los más tempranos registrados en el área. Se plantea la estabilidad del asentamiento y el posible cultivo, a partir de la evidencia de casas semisubterráneas, los rasgos de combustión y los restos vegetales. La temprana ocupación de este ambiente se relacionaría con la incorporación de la tecnología cerámica en la región. Su ubicación al costado de un cauce aluvional y la particularidad de los restos arqueofaunísticos y antracológicos indican la posible existencia de humedales en el pasado. La tecnología lítica y los restos arqueofaunísticos, permiten discutir estas ocupaciones en el marco del proceso de intensificación económica postulado para la región y el Cono Sur.

Abstract The second half of the 19th century was determined by the consolidation of the Argentine national state within the framework of two opposing political-ideological worldviews: Liberalism versus. Federalism. The military forces and, specifically, its high-ranking military played a transcendental role by executing the monopoly on violence from the Provincial States in their national projection. The aim of this work is to study, from an osteobiographical-historical approach, a secondary burial exhumed from the grave of Ambrosio Sandes (1815-1863) (Municipal Cemetery of Mendoza, Argentina) who was the unitary colonel of the Argentine Army with a documented participation in the battlefields and on the national political stage. At the skeletal level, analyze indicators of metabolic-nutritional stress, functional stress, pathologies, traumas and oral health. The results allowed to elaborate a general osteobiographical profile and another individualizing one, providing foundations that allowed to approximate a possible identification. Likewise, they discuss the bioindicators according to the different stages of their life (childhood, military career and the events near their death). In this way, not only osteobiographical information of one of the most relevant characters of the period is provided, but also allows to live the logic of the State in formation embodied in the body of its protagonists.

Resumen La segunda mitad del siglo XIX estuvo caracterizado por la consolidación del Estado nacional argentino en el marco de dos cosmovisiones políticas-ideológicas contrapuestas: Liberalismo versus Federalismo. Las fuerzas militares y, específicamente, sus militares de alto rango cumplieron un rol trascendental al ejecutar el monopolio de la violencia desde los Estados Provinciales en su proyección nacional. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar, desde un enfoque osteobiográfico-histórico, un entierro secundario exhumado de la sepultura de Ambrosio Sandes (1815-1863) (Cementerio Municipal de Mendoza, Argentina) coronel unitario del Ejército Argentino cuya participación fue ampliamente documentada en los campos de batalla y en el escenario político nacional. A nivel esqueletal, se analizaron indicadores de estrés metabólico-nutricional, estrés funcional, patologías, traumas y salud oral. Los resultados permitieron elaborar un perfil osteobiográfico general y otro individualizante, brindando fundamentos que permitieron aproximarse a una posible identificación. Así mismo, se discuten los bioindicadores de acuerdo a las distintas etapas de su vida (infancia, carrera militar y los eventos próximos a su fallecimiento). De esta forma, se aporta no solo información osteobiográfica de uno de los personajes más relevantes del periodo, sino también permite vivenciar las lógicas del Estado en formación plasmada en el cuerpo de sus protagonistas.

RESUMO Este artigo indaga em que medida a viagem realizada por Volpi para a Europa, em particular a Veneza, teve impacto significativo na sua obra pictórica, pois esta cidade possui características cromáticas e urbanísticas que podem ser vistas nas pinturas do artista a partir da década de 1950.

ABSTRACT The article seeks to investigate how Volpi ‘s voyage to Europe, specially Venice, has had a significant impact on the artist’ s pictorial work since this city has chromatic and urban features that can be seen in the artist’s paintings from the 50’s.

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir de que modo a pintura dos imigrantes japoneses residentes no Brasil está de alguma maneira relacionada ao que o Japão produziu nos períodos moderno e contemporâneo. Ao longo de sua pesquisa, o autor constatava com espanto que a grande maioria dos japoneses não fazia ideia da importância cultural que possuem seus imigrantes para o contexto brasileiro. A conclusão primeira era a de que seria muito difícil estabelecer uma comparação direta entre os dois grupos sem levar em consideração um estilo internacional (americano e europeu), bem como a personalidade e o estilo dos artistas abordados.

The aim of this article is to discuss how the Japanese immigrant painting is related somehow to what Japan produced in the modern and contemporary period. During the research the author was shocked by the fact that the majority of the Japanese have no idea about the cultural importance of their immigrants in the Brazilian context. The author conclusion is that is very difficult to establish a direct comparison between theses two trends without taking into account the international style (American and European) as well as the personality and style of the artists taking into account.

À tradicional dosagem dos receptores hormonais para avaliação prognóstica e abordagem clínica no câncer de mama, métodos alternativos para determinação imunohistoquímica vêm sendo propostos. Com finalidade comparativa, tais procedimentos foram correlacionados em 37 pacientes exibindo 5 a 15 anos de sobrevida. Tomando como índice de positividade 30 fm/mg a discordância entre os métodos alcançou 35,1% com os estrógenos e 48,5% com os receptores de progesterona, Quando o nível de positividade foi alterado para 20 fm/mg o desencontro de resultados reduziu-se para 32% com o ER, elevando-se para 57% com o PgR. Este estudo nos permitiu concluir pela não recomendação do método imunohistoquimico com laminas fixadas em parafina, como um procedimento alternativo à dosagem com carvão-dextrã, para prognóstico e abordagem terapêutica no carcinoma mamário.

Alternatives to the traditional hormone receptor dosages for prognostic evaluation and clinical approach to breast cancer have been proposed for immunohistochemical determinations. For correlation purposes, such procedures were compared in 37 patients presenting 5 to 15 years of survival. Considering 30 fm/mg as the positivity index, the disagreement between both methods reached 35.1% with estrogen and 48.5% with progesterone receptors. When the positiveness level was changed to 20 fm/mg, the discrepancies were reduced to 32% with ER and increased to 57% with PgR. This study leads us to not recommend the immunohistochemical method applied to paraffin sections as an alternative procedure to the dextran-charcoal dosage for prognosis and therapeutic management of mammary carcinoma.
