This article is about an exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, that exposes the particularities of the Juvenile Penal System of the Province of Santa Fe, in the period 2021-2023. A review of the legal systems and jurisprudence in force in the current system at the provincial level and in the city of Rafaela was carried out. In specific objectives, it was proposed to survey the organizations that make up this system in the province and specifically in the city of Rafaela, analyze the interventions carried out by the actors involved in the system in relation to the constitutionality of the processes, and observe the interference of interdisciplinary teams in the decisions of juvenile judges. To achieve the objectives, techniques and instruments associated with qualitative and ethnographic methodology were used, to obtain primary sources, a bibliographic survey was carried out with the subsequent preparation of reading sheets and systematization of the information, as secondary sources were used. semi-structured interviews and participant and non-participant observation. The results showed a series of elements referring to the need for a reform and the incorporation of interdisciplinary and the specialty in childhood and adolescence.

Key words: Penal system,juvenile justice, minor’s code, rights, reform.

Artificial Intelligence for detection of University dropout

The university dropout is an unresolved problem in Latin America [1], and it is urgent to understand its causes, which will allow the development of retention policies both in the university and government. In this context, Artificial Intelligence may play an important role in finding hidden patterns and relationships in data, which will allow us to recognize the true causes and make predictions that lead to more effective decisions. The general objective of this work is to generate models that allow us to discover those students who have a higher probability of dropping out of a university studies, allowing retention actions. Data mining and machine learning techniques were used, using data provided by the Academic Management System of the Catholic University of Santiago del Estero.

Despite the social policies implemented in Argentina, significant challenges persist in access to food, affecting children's nutrition and development. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional status and food security perception of children attending community kitchens in the northern area of San Salvador de Jujuy during the years 2022 and 2023. A quantitative, observational, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 81 children attending community kitchens. The variables analyzed included age, sex, and nutritional status (BMI-for-age, mid-upper arm circumference, waist circumference, body fat percentage) through anthropometric measurements. Food security level was measured using the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA).

The study revealed the coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition in the child population, with a trend toward overweight and obesity. This situation coexists with over 90% food insecurity, making it imperative to comprehensively address the nutritional status and food security of vulnerable populations through policies that tackle the complexity of this issue.

Horticulture depends, among other requirements, on the availability of water at every stage of crops development. In order to adjust frequency and volume irrigated, an exploratory trial was carried out in the Demonstration Vegetable Garden at the Universidad Católica de Santiago del Estero. Water availability was registered by electronic sensors, installed at different depths (15, 30, 45 and 60cm). Measurements of water content were carried out in two irrigation situations, 24 hours after water saturation of the soil and after 3 days without water supply, in order to obtain information on its moisture retention capacity. Values registered by the sensors were contrasted with real data of moisture content measured in field and laboratory by extracting and drying soil samples. Results obtained indicated: i) an adjustment in the reading of the sensors is needed (a value 10 % higher than the real one was registered), and ii) loss of moisture due to percolation was 20 % in the first 30cm, reducing to 15 % and 10 % at 45 and 60cm, respectively.
