    Birth Size and Maternal, Social, and Environmental Factors in the Province of Jujuy, Argentina
    (2022-01-06) Figueroa, M. I.; Martinez Carrion, J. M.; Alfaro-gomez, E. L.; Dipierri, J. E.; Martínez, J.I.; Economía Aplicada
    Introduction: birth size is affected by diverse maternal, environmental, social, and economic factors. Aim: analyze the relationships between birth size—shown by the indicators small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA)—and maternal, social, and environmental factors in the Argentine province of Jujuy, located in the Andean foothills. Methods: data was obtained from 49,185 mother-newborn pairs recorded in the Jujuy Perinatal Information System (SIP) between 2009 and 2014, including the following: newborn and maternal weight, length/height, and body mass index (BMI); gestational age and maternal age; mother’s educational level, nutritional status, marital status and birth interval; planned pregnancy; geographic-linguistic origin of surnames; altitudinal place of birth; and unsatisfied basic needs (UBN). The dataset was split into two groups, SGA and LGA, and compared with adequate for gestational age (AGA). Bivariate analysis (ANOVA) and general lineal modeling (GLM) with multinomial distribution were employed. Results: for SGA newborns, risk factors were altitude (1.43 [1.12–1.82]), preterm birth (5.33 [4.17–6.82]), older maternal age (1.59 [1.24–2.05]), and primiparous mothers (1.88 [1.06–3.34]). For LGA newborns, the risk factors were female sex (2.72 [5.51–2.95]), overweight (1.33 [1.22–2.46]) and obesity (1.85 [1.66–2.07]). Conclusions: the distribution of birth size and the factors related to its variability in Jujuy are found to be strongly conditioned by provincial terrain and the clinal variation due to its Andean location.

    Vecindad, religiosiad y conflictos jurisdiccionales en el Jujuy colonial
    (2016-10-18) Estruch, Dolores
    This work reconstructs the process of formation of the community of the colonial Jujuy, delving into the role played by religion. To this end, we explore the trajectory of the Tarija Pablo Bernardez de Ovando, a major landowner that accumulated titles, mercedes of lands and a "encomienda" that would end up constituting the marquissate of Tojo. We are interested in going over his particular trayectory since his condition as a foreigner will allow us to investigate which formalized and non-formalized practices assisted him in acquiring his status of citizen and will also give us an approach into jurisdictional cultures typical of pre-contemporary societies. We consider religion to have played a key role in that process since his formation of a vicinity was, among other aspects, settled in a judicial process between the Archbishopric of Charcas and the Bishopric of Tucumán over payment of tithes, in which Ovando was excommunicated by the Archbishopric.
