1. INTRODUCTION Historically, Argentina has been among the world leaders in the production and/or export of agricultural products. The main reason for this is that it is a country relatively sparsely populated but richly endowed with natural resources for production agriculture. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (FAOSTAT database), in 2006 Argentina accounted fo...

Honeybees are threatened by various pathogens and parasites. More than 18 viruses have been described in honeybees and many of them have been detected in China and Argentina. In China, both Apis cerana and Apis mellifera are raised. In Argentina, beekeepers raise different ecotypes of A. mellifera: European honeybees (in both temperate and subtropical regions) and Africanised honeybees (in subt...

Governments around the world evaluate economic performance using macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP. In this study emergy accounting was used to assess the economy of Argentina during the 20 century. Emergy evaluations of the Argentine economy for five time periods (1900-1929, 1930-1943, 1944-1975, 1976-1989, and 1990-1995) were conducted. Results were compared with evaluations of other coun...

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of deaths worldwide. The MPOWER package, the six recommended policies of the World Health Organization (WHO) to reverse the tobacco epidemic, strongly recommends monitoring tobacco use trends. Because evidence indicates that smoking addiction often starts before the age of 18 years, there is a need to monitor tobacco use among youths. During 2011, a ...

The transmission cycle of western equine encephalitis (WEE) virus in South America is unknown. A WEE virus strain was isolated from Aedes albifasciatus in Argentina during the WEE epizootic of 1982-83. Also, Culex pipiens from Argentina was reported to be able to transmit WEE virus experimentally, but other results indicate that Cx. pipiens from the USA is refractory to this virus. We determine...

background decision-makers have begun to recognize health-related quality of life (hrqol) as an important and measurable outcome of healthcare interventions; and hrqol data is increasingly being used by policy-makers to prioritize health resources. our objective was to measure hrqol in a group of type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) patients receiving insulin treatment in buenos aires, argentina.   ...
