Ilustración, catolicismo y género. Feijoo en el debate historiográfico
Este artículo revisa el resurgimiento de la noción de la «Ilustración católica» a partir de la década de 2010, el debate historiográfico que ha generado y el lugar que el ilustrado español Benito Jerónimo Feijoo (1676-1764) ocupa en él, en el marco de las controversias a propósito de las relaciones entre género, catolicismo e Ilustración (y más ampliamente, modernidad). Para ello se analizan los argumentos, las osadías y los límites de su discurso «Defensa de las mujeres» y, más ampliamente, a la actitud hacia las mujeres que se desprende del conjunto de su obra y su vida. Asimismo, se estudian algunas de las formas en que su ensayo fue apropiado con posterioridad en España y en otros territorios, tanto católicos como protestantes, en Europa y América. El objetivo es plantear una visión matizada que evite caracterizar a Feijoo como un pionero aislado del feminismo o como un autor que se limita a acatar la jerarquía entre los sexos, así como las posturas extremas que exageran las aportaciones de la Ilustración católica o que niegan su misma existencia.This article revises the revival of the concept of «Catholic Enlightenment» in international scholarship of the 2010s, the subsequent historiographical debate and the role that Spanish Enlightenment writer Benito Jerónimo Feijoo (1676-1764) has played in it, in the framework of discussions concerning gender, Catholicism, and Enlightenment (and more generally, modernity). It assesses the audacities and the limits of Feijoo’s essay Defensa de las mujeres («Defence of women») and the attitudes he displayed towards women throughout his work and his life. It also discusses some of the ways in which his essay was appropriated in later times, both in Spain and in other Catholic, but also Protestant territories, in Europe and America. The aim is to find a middle way between extreme positions that label Feijoo either as a lone forerunner of Enlightenment feminism or an author supporting domestic and political hierarchies between men and women; more widely, between maximizing the contributions of the Catholic Enlightenment and denying its very existence
The contribution of incomplete lineage sorting and introgression to the evolutionary history of the fast-evolving genus Ctenomys (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae)
Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and introgression have been increasingly recognized as important processes involved in biological differentiation. Both ILS and introgression result in incongruences between gene trees and species trees, consequently causing difficulties in phylogenetic reconstruction. This is particularly the case for rapid radiations, as short internodal distances and incomplete reproductive isolation increase the likelihood of both ILS and introgression. Estimation of the relative frequency of these processes requires assessments across many genomic regions. We use transcriptomics to test for introgression and estimate the frequency of ILS in a set of three closely related and geographically adjacent South American tuco-tucos species (Ctenomys), a genus comprising 64 species resulting from recent, rapid radiation. After cleaning and filtering, 5764 orthologous genes strongly support paraphyly of C. pearsoni relative to C. brasiliensis (putatively represented by the population of Villa Serrana). In line with earlier phylogenetic work, the C. pearsoni - C. brasiliensis pair is closely related to C. torquatus, whereas C. rionegrensis is more distantly related to these three nominal species. Classical Patterson's d-statistic shows significant signals of introgression from C. torquatus into C. brasiliensis. However, a 5-taxon test shows no significant results. ILS was estimated to have involved about 9% of the loci, suggesting it represents an important process in the incipient diversification of tuco-tucos.Fil: Tomasco, Ivanna H..

Senecio spp. transboundary introduction and expansion affecting cattle in Uruguay: Clinico-pathological, epidemiological and genetic survey, and experimental intoxication with Senecio oxyphyllus
The genus Senecio is distributed worldwide, being responsible of poisoning in livestock and humans. Many species of Senecio have high invasion and expansion capacity, highly competitive with agricultural and native plant species, causing ecological damage. Particularly in Uruguay, poisoning by Senecio have grown exponentially to reach epidemic proportions. Herein we describe Seneciosis as a re-emerging and expanding epidemic disease affecting cattle, by describing clinico-pathological, epidemiological and genetic variation of species involved, as well as an experimental intoxication with Senecio oxyphyllus. For this, a study was carried out on 28 cattle farms in Eastern Uruguay, with history of seneciosis from 2010 to 2016. Plants of fifty populations of Senecio were sampled, in 2015 and 2016, for identification, analysis of alkaloids and study of genetic variation. In turn, post-mortem examination was performed in cattle of natural and an experimental case to confirm the intoxication, showing microscopic characteristic lesions (hepatomegalocytosis, diffuse fibrosis and ductal reaction). Four species of Senecio were identified: S. oxyphyllus, S. madagascariensis, S. selloi and S. brasiliensis. In the genetic study, 489 molecular markers of amplified sequence-related polymorphisms (SRAP), associated with species and pasture, were used for genetic variation analysis. There was no statistically significant association between genetic variation determined by molecular markers and population (specimens of same species collected from the same farm), botanically determined species, or geographical origin. The increase of seneciosis in cattle in the last years, the presence of species not identified to the moment with implication in the poisoning outbreaks and expansion of these plants shows that the disease is in an epidemic growing active stage. In turn, the experimental poisoning with S. oxyphyllus confirms its chronic hepatotoxic effect, being an emergent species for the region, of high distribution and toxic risk. This latter turned out the main Senecio species involved. This case of expansion of harmful plant for animal production and desirable plant species, can be useful as a model of ecopathological characterization, which is likely to occur with other toxic plants in different geographical ranges globally.Fil: García, Juan Agustín.

Benito feijoo e o ilu minismo espanhol: apanhado histórico de um projeto frustrado
In a long journey through the history of Spain, the author aims to discover the uniqueness of the Enlightenment in the Iberian country. Thus, he attempts to refute the idea according to which there was not such a thing as an Age of Enlightenment in Spain and, therefore, not a true Modern Philosophy. He presents, in a second moment, the intellectual figure of Father Benito Feijoo as a paradigmatic example of what is known as the “Ilustración española [Spanish Enlightenment] and its difference from the English Enlightenment, the French Lumières and the German Aufklärung. In the end, he develops the idea according to which the 18th century laid the foundations for a supranational cultural revolution that was materialized in the Cádiz Constitution of 1812, and then aborted by the absolutist Restoration of Fernando VII [Ferdinand VII of Spain].A través de un largo excurso por la historia de España, el autor se propone descubrir la particularidad de la Ilustración en el país ibérico para desmontar la tesis según la cual, aquende los Pirineos, no hubo propiamente un Siglo de las Luces, y por lo tanto, tampoco una auténtica filosofía moderna. Presenta en un segundo momento la figura intelectual del padre Benito Feijoo como ejemplo paradigmático de lo que fue la Ilustración española y su diferencia con el Enlightement inglés, las Lumières francesas y la Aufklärung alemana. Se desarrolla la idea según la cual el siglo XVIII sentó las bases de una revolución cultural de carácter supranacional que se materializó en la Constitución de Cádiz de 1812, luego abortada por la Restauración absolutista de Fernando VII.Através de uma longa digressão acerca da história da Espanha, o autor se propõe a descobrir a particularidade do Iluminismo neste país ibérico, para desmontar a tese de que aquém dos Pirineus não houve propriamente um Século das Luzes e, portanto, não houve uma autêntica filosofia moderna.

Planificación Estratégica en las Instituciones Educativas Públicas
La presente monografía quiere contribuir en dar énfasis en la importancia de la
planificación estratégica que es indispensable en la buena gestión y mejora de la
calidad educativa. La planificación estratégica se hace importante porque cobra un
gran valor al recoger los datos del mismo contexto y responde en un plan de acción
a las necesidades que en ella se exigen. Su singularidad y flexibilidad hacen que sea
más específico y sea precedente en otras instituciones cómo se puede planificar mas
no una copia fiel para responder a los problemas de todos los contextos educativos.
Su flexibilidad permite que se adecúe al momento en que se desarrolla y reduce
espacios a la incertidumbre que puede causar desconcierto en la organización.Trabajo académic

Collection date: 23 June 2008. Collectors: A. Feijoo, L. Celis. Etymology. The new species is named in recognition of and homage to the Nonuyas indigenous people who live in the departments of Caquetá and Putumayo, Colombia. Noun in apposition. Description. Endogeic species, with light brown-colored dorsum, milky white belly, and cylindrical body. The length of the conserved holotype is 93.5 mm, with 131 segments. Its diameter is 3.2 mm in the preclitellar region, 4.0 mm in the clitellum, and 3.0 mm in the mid-posterior region. Paratype: 82.5 mm long and 3.0 mm wide. Number of segments: 122. The prostomium is long, thin, and ends in a milky white lobe measuring 0.9 mm. The clitellum is saddle-shaped, located in segments 15–25 (= 11 segments); tubercula pubertatis are between segments ¼ 19 –¼ 24 (Fig. 1). Eight rows of closely paired setae are visible (a, b, c, d) as of segment 4. The distance between setae in the mid-body region (segments 40–50) is aa:ab:bc:cd:dd = 5.4:1.0:5.0: 0.3: 17. The common setae (Fig. 2 A) present a strong curvature with central marks. This thickness then decreases to finally form a sharply defined hook. The ventral setae ab from 18 to 23 are modified as genital setae (Fig. 2 B) about 1.4 mm long, 0.04 mm in diameter. Setae are slightly sigmoid with a strong curvature, continuing rectilinearly to end in a broadened lanceolate tip. Numerous semi-lunar grooves appear after 1 / 2, which then merge in the center forming bordered limits (Fig. 2 B left). The male pores are located in segment 21 and female pores in segment 14. The nephropores are aligned with setae c, d. Three pairs of spermathecal pores were observed on intersegments 6 /7, 7/8, 8/ 9 aligned with seta c. Internal anatomy. The anterior septa are strong and moderately thick between segments 6 and 10. The round muscular gizzard and thick musculature are found in the cavity of segment 6. Three pairs of extramural calciferous glands originate in a short, wide duct that opens dorsally on the back of the esophagus in segments 7–9; the glands are of lamellar structure ("Lamellentaschen") (Fig. 3 A). The esophagus-intestine transition begins in segment 20 and the typhlosole begins in segment 24. This thick Sshaped lamella occupies 1 / 3 of the intestinal space. There are no intestinal caeca. The dorsal blood vessel is moniliform in segments 15–21. There are three pairs of lateral commissures in 7–9 and three pairs of esophageal hearts in 11–13. There is one pair of holonephridia in each segment, located just above the line of setae c, d. Each nephridium of the postclitellar region consists of a single infundibulum and two foldable bands joined to the infundibulum (Fig. 3 B). The voluminous and slightly lobed hypoesophageal testis sacs lie in segment 11, with one pair of seminal vesicles in 12. The deferent ducts are visible, located close to the ventral esophagus, opening in segment 14 into the intraparietal region and flowing into segment 21 to the male pores. The ovaries are in the ventral region of segment 13. Spermathecae (Fig. 3 C) are in segments 7, 8, 9. The sperm duct is short and the ampulla flat and round and has abundant sperm cells. Remarks. Andiodrilus nonuya is closely related to A. icomi Righi, 1971, A. biolleyi Cognetti, 1904, A. guayabero Feijoo, 2008, A. kiri Righi, 1995, A. masigure Feijoo, 2008, A. pixao Righi, 1995, A. xaropi Righi, 1995, and A. cabalensis Righi, 1995, because of the extension of the clitellum and tubercula pubertatis. It is also very closely related to A. xaropi and A. cabalensis because of the presence of three pairs of hearts in 11–13. It differs, however, from the aforementioned species in the distance of the setae aa: ab: bc: cd: dd, the shape and ornamentation of the genital seta, the position and number of segments of the clitellum, the locations of tubercula pubertatis, the shape of spermathecae, and in the origin of the intestine (Table 1).

Mitochondrial and microsatellite assessment of population structure of South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Several major breeding areas have been defined for the South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) along the Atlantic Ocean including the Uruguayan and Patagonian coasts. Together with a documented and severe reduction in population sizes caused by commercial hunting in the last century, these areas show opposite population trends. While Patagonian populations are recovering since hunting ceased, Uruguayan populations are declining. In this context, population genetic structure and genetic diversity were studied for the first time with both nuclear (microsatellites) and mitochondrial (control region) markers together. Alternative scenarios were found for both markers. While mitochondrial marker showed geographically structured populations, the nuclear loci showed a lack of geographical structure. These opposite patterns in genetic structure could be explained by female phylopatry and high male dispersion. The reduction in population size caused by commercial hunting did not leave a detectable footprint of bottleneck at the genetic level.Fil: Feijoo, Matias.
