CHILDHOOD AND MIGRATION IN ARGENTINA

2025-06-12T21:54:15+00:00

In Argentina, the migration of children and adolescents has occurred for a long time. They have almost always arrived in family contexts, either accompanied by their parents or, in some cases, reunited with them in Argentina sometime later. Their moves have been linked to the search for better living conditions, more educational opportunities, and future employment options.

This paper aims to analyze the extent to which the rights of migrant children and adolescents have been specifically addressed under Migration Law 25.871. Three topics of analysis are proposed: a) the concept of migrant childhood, which allows addressing and understanding their participation and role in migration processes; b) the migration paradigm shift in Argentina, addressing the most significant modifications brought about by the entry into force of Law 25.871; and c) children's rights in the Migration Law, which allows us to address the challenges facing the migrant population. Three topics of analysis are proposed: a) the concept of migrant children, which allows us to address and understand their participation and role in migration processes; b) the migration paradigm shift in Argentina, dealing with the most significant modifications brought about by the enactment of Law 25.871; and c) children's rights under the Migration Law, which makes it possible to identify the challenges involved in fulfillment of the rights of the migrant population. It is concluded that there is still a lack of sufficient understanding regarding the impact of immigration regulations on children and the need to interpret such laws considering the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to highlight the enactment of the Comprehensive Protection Law (No. 26.061) for the Rights of Children and Adolescents that ratifies another paradigm shift, making domestic legislation compatible with the obligations established by the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Furthermore, it poses the challenge of articulating both approaches to enhance and ensure the protection of the rights of migrant children and their families, thus guaranteeing the effective implementation of the rights recognized in both laws.

RED WORM: REFLECTIONS ON ITS POTENTIAL AS A NUTRIENT RECYCLER Resumen

2025-07-04T12:47:45+00:00

This essay explores the potential of the red Californian worm (Eisenia fetida) in the transformation of organic waste into high-value plant nutrients—a crucial life-supporting process. The role of this annelid is highlighted in the creation of a domestic food chain, which can be expanded to other environments such as offices and schools. The advantages of Eisenia fetida as a waste-transforming agent are analysed, which accelerate humification and its feasibility as a profitable business. Also, a historical overview of its relationship with humans, its taxonomic classification, and a brief description of its anatomy, morphology, physiology, and life cycle is offered. The essay concludes with practical suggestions for small-scale vermicomposting and the use of worm humus, a fertilizer rich in nutrients. This comprehensive approach seeks to promote sustainable practices in waste management and the production of organic nutrients, encouraging reflection on the importance of such actions that benefit the environment mitigating the effects of climate change.

THE WEIGHT OF BEAUTY: SPEECHES ON THE SUPPLY OF CLOTHING SIZES AND BODY DIVERSITY IN SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY, 2023

2024-06-19T20:23:43+00:00

This research arose from a first review of the scope and limitations of Law 27,521 or “Law of Sizes”, considering a theoretical framework transversal to the field of health and humanistic and social sciences.

Currently in Jujuy, Argentina, there are no legal regulations that regulate the offer of sizes in clothing stores. This lack of measures responds to internal issues in the design and production of clothing brands at a national and international level, generating limitations in the availability of large sizes, a situation that is outside the responsibility and possibilities of businesses. Faced with this situation, the public's demand for sizes of fat bodies remains unanswered.

Assuming a qualitative approach, we seek to hear voices from diverse bodies that express the limited availability of large clothing sizes as one of the many problems that affect groups systematically affected by forms of discrimination, including fatphobia.

The interest in understanding the reactions and behaviors of this population becomes relevant if we consider a contemporary context in which the ideal of beauty materializes in thin body figures, which could lead to the adoption of extreme behaviors, a substantial issue in the study of factors risk of eating disorders, body dysmorphia, depression, social anxiety, among others.

In this way we were able to learn about the current situation of the supply and availability of large sizes in the capital of Jujuy. This project was contextualized as part of a set of different academic spaces that aimed to promote the construction of a discourse that positions body diversity on the agenda in addition to making visible and raising awareness about fatphobia and its negative impact on comprehensive health, thus recognizing new paradigms. that admit a diversity of bodies in equally diverse sociocultural settings.

FOUNDATIONS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF ACCESSIBILITY IN HERITAGE BUILDINGS IN SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY

2025-05-05T19:17:43+00:00

This research proposal arises from the fundamental need to guarantee equitable access to our province heritage. According to the "Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" (CRPD) established by the United Nations (UN) in 2007, the accessibility to heritage is a fundamental human right that guarantees equal opportunities for all people, regardless of age, gender, social status or ability. In Argentina, this provision was passed and enacted by Law No. 26.378.

The lack of accessibility to cultural sites is a form of discrimination and exclusion, especially for people with disabilities and/or people who may face physical, communicative, and cognitive barriers. It is worth noting that the lack of accessibility does not affect only to Persons with Disabilities (PWD). There are different stages during life, in which full access to environments can also be compromised, such as: childhood, changes in old age, obesity, anthropometry of the body, pregnancy, use of glasses and/or hearing aids, sequelae from diseases or accidents, and even temporary injuries (Ministry of Childhood, Adolescence, Youth and Citizenship of Neuquén, 2023).

More specifically, the Architectural Heritage (AH), as a component of Cultural Heritage (CH), plays an important role in the construction of identity, collective memory, social commitment and integration (Slavín[1], 2013) and therefore, it is essential to generate action strategies that promote universal access to heritage and cultural resources, considering people diversity.

This study aims to provide tools to identify and diagnose the current situation of accessibility to heritage buildings in San Salvador de Jujuy city. As a result, a mapping[2] will be carried out through georeferencing, that will showcase existing best practices in our province, to promote access to heritage sites and the enjoyment of artistic and cultural expressions to a wider spectrum of visitors.

INTERVIEW WITH YOUNG GI JEON LEE. TAEKWONDO AS A MARTIAL ART IN HUMAN CAPABILITIES

2025-04-01T20:24:58+00:00

In this interview, instructor Young Gi Jeon Lee recounts his training in Taekwondo in South Korea and other countries where he refined his skills. Likewise, he will provide tactical advice for the optimal development of this sport. The Eastern philosophy of this master focuses on the perception of Taekwondo in everyday life, in contrast to the representations found in media culture, cinema, and television, where this practice is often idealized as a means to acquire combat skills and become invincible against any opponent. The instructor will propose the deconstruction of these arguments and the incorporation of fundamental premises—recommendations made possible solely by his extensive experience in this martial art and the expertise gained during his previous tenure as president.
