La cuestión de la dignidad en los mundos indígenas by Carolina Sanchez De Jaegher

“…Dado que dignitas hominis es predominantemente un concepto occidental antropocéntrico, repensarlo sin la humanidad, o sin las racionalidades hegemónicas que han constituido su sustancia antropocéntrica y universalista, requiere de un diálogo con las múltiples éticas de la Tierra, particularmente con las éticas de esos mundos que nunca han aceptado la división colonial entre la vida humana y la no-humana: los mundos indígenas. …”

Juicio, condena y ejecución de Francisco Acosta, “consentidor de ladrones”. Alcances y límites del poder de los comandantes de campaña en Tucumán a mediados del siglo XIX by María Paula Parolo

“… La problemática abordada en este trabajo se enmarca dentro del debate sobre las modalidades de la transición entre el orden colonial y el republicano en América Latina. En este contexto, preguntarse por la figura del Comandante de Campaña –un nuevo actor político y militar de la etapa revolucionaria–, responde a la inquietud de analizar cómo se constituyeron los nuevos poderes y se diseñaron las relaciones de lealtad y reciprocidad entre los dirigentes político-militares entre sí y entre estos últimos y la población rural. …”

Assessment of Cellular Responses after Short- and Long-Term Exposure to Silver Nanoparticles in Human Neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and Astrocytoma (D384) Cells by Teresa Coccini, Luigi Manzo, Vittorio Bellotti, Uliana De Simone

“…Long-term data: (i) low AgNP doses (≤1 μg/ml) compromised proliferative capacity of all cell types (cell sensibility: SHSY5Y > A549 > D384). Colony number decrease in SH-SY5Y and D384 was 50% and 25%, respectively, at 1 μg/ml, and lower dose (0.5 μg/ml) was significantly effective towards SH-SY5Y and pulmonary cells; (ii) cell proliferation activity was more affected by AgNO3 than AgNPs. …”
