You have arrived in Buenos Aires, capital to the Argentine Republic. Here you will find useful information to make sure your stay in our country becomes an unforgettable experience. The Argentine Republic Argentina is South America’s second largest country, covering a surface of 3.761.274 km2: around 55% of plains, a 20% of plateaus and a 20% of mountains, being the rest the Antarctic Area. It shares borders with Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, and Uruguay, the rest being Atlantic Ocean coastline. Its name comes from the Latin "argentum", which means silver. The origin of this name goes back to the first Spanish Conquerors that came to River Plate. The National territory is made up of 23 provinces and the Federal District (Buenos Aires). Its government, according to the National Constitution, adopts the representative, republican and federal form. The official language is Spanish. You may reach the country by plane, arriving at Ministro Pistarini International Airport (also called Ezeiza), located 35 kms away from the Federal District downtown. To get to your destination, you can take a bus service from the airport, such as the bus line 8 (very cheap, long trip with many stops before its final destination, City Downtown) or one from Manuel Tienda León (more comfortable, and more expensive), as well as taxis and remises (car rented with driver). Also you might arrive by bus, to Retiro (recommended if you are to stay near downtown) or to Liniers station. If you are coming from bordering countries, you will need to bring with you a valid national ID. Visitors from other countries must bring their valid passport, with or without endorsement, depending on the case. In some cases a Visa is required as well. Maximum time allowed for staying in the country with tourist status is 90 days. Visitors coming from non neighboring countries do not pay taxes for baggage or new products up to U$S 300 and additional U$S 300 if products were bought in free shops authorized in national territory. No certificate of vaccines is required when entering the country, though it is very important to ask your doctor about everything related to immunization, and compulsory and suggested vaccines. Before starting your rotation at the British Hospital, you will need to submit your immunization status. Argentina has a great variety of climates: mild and humid on the Pampa plains, cold and humid in the south of Patagonia, subtropical in the North of Mesopotamia and hot in the Northeast. From November to March, the average temperature is of 23° C and, from June to September it is of 12° C. Temperature measure unit: Celsius. Official Time is GMT -03:00. Mains electricity is 220V/50htz. The official currency is the argentine Peso. Bills are of 100/50/20/10/5/2 pesos. Coins are of 2 pesos, 1 peso, and 0.50/0.25/0.10/0.05 cents. The current population of Argentina is over 40 million inhabitants, of whom almost half of them live in Capital Federal and in the Province of Buenos Aires. Argentines are mainly descendants of Italian and Spanish stock. The official religion is Roman Catholic, though, there is freedom of cult. Argentina’s Health Care System Nowadays, the country’s health system is organized around three main providers In the first place, there is a Public Sector, formed by public Hospitals and Primary Care Centres working under the coordination of national, provincial and municipal Health Ministries and Secretaries; supplying free clinical care for hospital inpatients and outpatients. Public medical institutions are free of charge for both nationals and foreigners, and the only charges for both are prescription charges for outpatients. On the other hand, there is a Private Sector, formed by a pre-paid medicine network, which offers wide coverage in health services but the patient meets the total cost of their medical care in advance. Private health insurance premiums vary depending on age and family needs, as well as the risk that the insured person may represent. In general these companies do not cover pre-existing conditions. Between these two options, there is Mutual or Social Security (Obras Sociales), most of them being administrated by trade unions. Both employers and employees are obliged to pay into a health insurance scheme organized by a trade union, and then, the Social Security covers the cost of medical care and medicines in varying proportions: many times patients have to pay the difference between the cost of treatment and a fixed fee. There is also what is called the Integral Medical Assistance Program (PAMI), a health insurance plan for those who are covered by national social security program, being most of them retired workers, the pensioned, the handicapped, and war veterans. Most people (around 85%) are covered either by the public health care system, or the social security system. Affiliation to private care medicine concentrates mainly in Buenos Aires City, as well as in the Great Buenos Aires and some areas of the bigger provinces (Santa Fe, Córdoba, and Mendoza). The Argentinean government strives to offer medical access to all its inhabitants. However, access for people in big cities is more readily available than in smaller cities or remote areas. Argentina has both public and private hospitals: the first are pretty basic when it comes to infrastructure, but its staff is very well trained; the second are generally very well equipped when it comes to infrastructure, and also employ very good professionals. The City of Buenos Aires Also known as “La Reina del Plata” (Queen of the River Plate), the City of Buenos Aires can be described as one of the most exciting cities in the continent, characterized by having a wide variety of artistic and cultural expressions. Argentina’s Federal District was born by the banks of the Rio de la Plata, covering a surface of around 200 km2. It also borders with the “Riachuelo” to the South, and is outlined by the General Paz Avenue, a ring-road which fringes the city from North to West. The city is home to residents, to tourists, to many students from the area and from the inner provinces in the country and, of course, those from abroad. Approximately 20.000 international students come to Buenos Aires, to live and study in one of the over 40 universities in town, proving that Buenos Aires is an excellent choice to study abroad. down at night.

There are plenty of reasonable hotels available also. Family houses are a nice choice, as it allows you to live with a local family, being able to become familiarized with the Spanish language, as well as learning argentine habits. Students’ residences are also popular, as you get in touch with other local and international students, being able to share experiences. In case you are thinking about renting an apartment, we recommend paying attention to the location chosen, as some neighborhoods are more deserted at night, or weekends. If you are interested, the Hospital can provide you with a list of recommended places to stay in. Transportation From abroad, you can arrive in Buenos Aires at its International Airport, or with a domestic flight from another province at the Jorge Newbery Airfield, or by bus in either of its two terminals. Then, to move around the city, there is subway network, and over a hundred bus lines and various train lines join the city with the rest of the Districts in Greater Buenos Aires.

  • Mercado De Hacienda De Liniers Tradición Y Tecnología Al Servicio Del Productor
    XVII Jornadas Ganaderas de Pergamino 2006 Estudio Ganadero Pergamino 17 MERCADO DE HACIENDA DE LINIERS TRADICIÓN Y TECNOLOGÍA AL SERVICIO DEL PRODUCTOR Jorge Aguirre Urreta Presidente del Centro de Consignatarios de Productos del País El momento actual ha puesto en la tapa de los diarios al Mercado de Hacienda de Liniers, que lleva más de un siglo cumpliendo su objetivo de ser un mercado concentrador de hacienda, formador y orientador de los precios ganaderos en la República Argentina. No debemos olvidar que este mercado concentra alrededor del 20 % de la faena total del país, y el 50% de la faena del Gran Buenos Aires. Ordenaremos esta charla en seis módulos temáticos, comenzando por un rápido repaso de la historia del mercado, centrándonos en su concesión a Mercado de Liniers S.A. y los vectores de la nueva administración. Seguidamente hablaremos del traslado a San Vicente y las prórrogas a la concesión, temas hoy de total actualidad. Terminando con un mensaje explicativo de qué quieren los consignatarios. En 1884 se tomó la decisión de mudar el mercado de Parque Patricios, conocido como de los “Corrales Viejos”, a un nuevo predio más acorde a las necesidades del momento. El nuevo lugar no tenía nombre oficial. A veces se lo nombraba diciendo que estaba media legua al sur de Liniers, pero pronto se lo llamó “Nueva Chicago” por la similitud de la moderna obra que se estaba realizando, comparándola con el mercado existente en esa ciudad norteamericana, en aquellos años lo más avanzado que existía. Luego de casi veinte años de construcción se inaugura el 2 de mayo de 1901, es decir, que tiene 105 años.

    Proceedings Atmospheric Particulate Matter Variability during 2014 at Buenos Aires City (Argentina) Comparing † Ground-Based Measurements and Satellite Data Lara S. Della Ceca 1,*, María I. Micheletti 1,2 and Rubén D. Piacentini 1,3 1 Grupo Física de la Atmósfera, Radiación Solar y Astropartículas, Instituto de Física Rosario, CONICET—Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Rosario 2000, Argentina; [email protected] (M.I.M.); [email protected] (R.D.P.) 2 Facultad de Ciencias Bioquímicas y Farmacéuticas, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Rosario 2000, Argentina 3 Laboratorio de EficienciaEnergética, Sustentabilidad y CambioClimático, IMAE, FCEIA, UniversidadNacional de Rosario, Rosario 2000, Argentina * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +54-341-485-3200 or +54-341-485-3222 † Presented at the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences, 16–31 July 2017; Available online: http://sciforum.net/conference/ecas2017. Published: 17 July 2017 Abstract: Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. In particular, exposure to high concentrations of small particulates (PM10 and PM2.5) is related to increased mortality and morbidity. In Argentina, only at Buenos Aires city (34.4° S 58.3° W), which together with the surrounding districts accounts for the 30% of the total country population, continuous measurements of air quality are carried out. Though ground-based stations provide very accurate PM concentration values, they have very limited spatial coverage and may not be sufficient to assess the level of population exposure. Satellite-based is a valid alternative to fill these observational gaps. In this work, the MODIS 3 km × 3 km AOD retrievals for 2014, for both Terra and Aqua, were employed to evaluate the spatio-temporal variation of atmospheric aerosols over Buenos Aires and its metropolitan area in a year period.

  • Impacto De Las Construcciones De Hormigón En El Paisaje Urbano
    IMPACTO DE LAS CONSTRUCCIONES DE HORMIGÓN EN EL PAISAJE URBANO. IMPACT OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTIONS ON THE URBAN LANDSCAPE. Anahí López1-2, Alejandro R. Di Sarli3, Luis P. Traversa4 1 Investigador Asistente. CICPBA - [email protected] 2 UTN-FRLP/LEMaC, La Plata, Argentina. Docente-Investigador UTN 3 Investigador Emérito CONICET - CIDEPINT. 4 Investigador Emérito CICPBA - LEMIT - RESUMEN 69 El hormigón es un material de construcción que ha evolucionado de acuerdo con las necesidades políticas, sociales, económicas y tecnológicas de cada país o región. Debido a las diversas funcionalidades, su impacto social puede adquirir un carácter artístico o histórico a través de los monumentos, esculturas o mobiliario urbano que integran el paisaje construido. Además, es una alternativa que permite materializar pensamientos al involucrarlo como una pasta que modela, es decir, un material sin forma que toma la del molde que lo contiene y cuya apariencia final está condicionada por el tipo de terminación. Este trabajo presenta tres casos antagónicos entre sí y ejecutados en diferentes momentos históricos. Las obras de carácter innovador impactaron en el paisaje según valores tangibles e intangibles y, además, demostraron la versatilidad de las mezclas hechas con cemento. El primer caso es el Nuevo Teatro Argentino, ubicado en la ciudad de La Plata, construido después de la destrucción del original; el segundo es el Puente de la Mujer (Arq. Ing. Calatrava) y, finalmente, el plan de urbanización pensado por el Gobernador M. Fresco a fines de la década del 30 y ejecutado por el Arq. Ing. F. Salamone. Palabras clave: Impacto, hormigón, Béton brut, movimiento moderno, Art decò.

    BUENOS AIRES – MAY 2013 ENG 294 – Capital of Culture Day 1 – Arrival and Coffee We arrive in the morning and walk to the obelisk (r), then go for coffee and media lunas at Café Tortoni – always rated one of the 10 Most Beautiful Cafes in the World – and also manage to find the park where the characters in The Tunnel would often meet. Friday, May 17 May Friday, On Cover (l-r) – Kenny Gilliard, Ashleigh Huffman, Daniel Faulkenberry and Juliane Bullard stand in Plaza Francia with the National Museum of Fine Arts behind them. This was a short walk from the hotel and just across the street from the flea market. EL ATENEO GRAN SPLENDID Day 2 – Exploring the City of Books Day 2 – La Biela and El Ateneo This coffee shop across the green from Saturday, May 18 May Saturday, Recoleta Cemetery is one of the most famous in the city, frequented by celebrities, past and present. Previous page: (l-r) Ashleigh Huffman, Kenny Gilliard, Daniel Faulkenberry and Juliane Bullard walk across the bridge over Avenida Libertador, linking the Recoleta Cemetery area to the law school and the park holding the steel flower, Floralis Generica, which supposedly opens at dawn and closes at dusk – although no one’s actually seen it in action. La Biela – The “Tie Rod” This is a great spot for breakfast or just hanging out for a coffee. You can even sit and have your picture taken with authors Jorge Luis Borges and Bioy Casares. Note the cutout on the chair – it’s a tie rod, a reference to the café’s early days.

    El Ferrocarril del Oeste en la Argentina: entre las demandas de la ciudad y el campo (1854-1870) Jorge Schvarzer Teresita Gómez* La construcción de los primeros ferrocarriles argentinos pretendía integrar por ese medio de transporte, por entonces novedoso, a todo el país. La propuesta de largo plazo tendía a promover la unidad nacional y la explotación activa de las riquezas potenciales de ese inmenso territorio, poco poblado y prácticamente no explotado. Esos objetivos comenzaron a verse concretados hacia mediados de la década de 1870, cuando la incipiente red ferroviaria permitió expandir la producción agropecuaria pampeana, tanto como de otras actividades regionales (como la producción de azúcar en Tucumán, de vino en las provincias de Cuyo, la tala del quebracho y la extracción del tanino en las provincias del Nordeste argentino, etc.). A partir de aquella época, los ferrocarriles se constituyeron en uno de los núcleos vitales que contribuyeron a generar las bases estructurales de la notable riqueza que exhibía la Argentina a fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX. Pero el futuro no explica el pasado. En las primeras etapas de la construcción de los ferrocarriles, el potencial productivo real de las praderas argentinas era desconocido, de modo que aquella apuesta ofrecía, a lo sumo, un resultado dudoso. Las otras fuentes posibles de riqueza natural no eran mejor conocidas y estaban ubicadas muy lejos de la ciudad puerto que actuaba como capital de la Nación. No resulta extraño que esas condiciones hicieran que la propuesta de invertir en ese nuevo medio no fuera abrazada desde el principio con suficiente entusiasmo por las clases dirigentes de la época.
