This South American nation's ecosystem was valued at ** billion U.S. dollars that year, followed closely by Brazil, whose ecosystem's value stood at ** billion dollars.In 2023, Buenos Aires topped the list of best cities for startups in Argentina, registering a total score of ****. That year, the country’s capital and Córdoba also appeared in the ranking of top cities for startups in Latin America and the Caribbean. Female entrepreneurship Female entrepreneurship has been on the rise in Latin America, pushing against a male-dominated environment in the business sector. It continues to encounter, however, remarkable obstacles. Argentina’s female entrepreneurial activity rate was remarkably distant from that of other Latin American countries, like Ecuador and Colombia, where it exceeded ** percent. By contrast, even if the entrepreneurial activity rate among women in Argentina was not particularly high, it can be said that most females started their business because it was their choice, and not out of necessity.

In this article, I explore Twitter data to analyze Gender Neutral Language (GNL) in (Greater) Buenos Aires, (Greater) La Plata, and Córdoba. The goal is to characterize the social context behind GNL. Social context analysis of social media data is challenging given that this data type does not contain the social characteristics of its users and the circumstances under which the tweets were written. In order to fill this gap, I will derive the social context information from textual and temporal features by analyzing the names of locations, companies, and people used in the text and relating these entities to the message of the tweet. The analysis of temporal features will give us insights into the correlation between language use and social events. Our results show that the general characterization of the social context behind GNL is associated with socio-economically rich areas in city centers. Users of GNL in the investigated areas address certain groups of people with words that express familiarity and close social relationships, such as those meaning “friends” and “neighbors” and that give them information about a political, cultural, or social event or concerning commercial products/services. The temporal analysis by month supports this characterization by showing that certain political and social events induce a higher frequency of GNL. This paper contributes to previous research on GNL in Argentina by testing existing hypotheses quantitatively. The new discovery presented here is that political activism is not the only language context in which GNL is used in social media and that GNL is not exclusively used in big cities of Argentina but also in smaller cities.

Dataset and full R script used in the data analysis of the paper "Searching for the lost treasure: An urban shelter for overlooked pollinators in one of the most urbanised cities of southern South America".

Summary:

Insect pollinators are essential and their conservation should be a priority for both ecological and agricultural reasons, especially in the remaining green spaces within highly urbanised cities. We studied the diversity of flower visitors associated with a remnant of native vegetation in the city of Cordoba (Argentina), one of the largest cities in South America. We recorded 198 insect species from six orders (Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Thysanoptera and Hemiptera) interacting as potential pollinators with the flowers of 94 plant species. We identified the pollinators to the lowest possible taxonomic level and confirmed the identifications through a collaborative project using a non-profit biodiversity social network (iNaturalist 2024). The plant-pollinator interaction network was significantly modular, with 178 of the 198 pollinators playing a peripheral role. We focused our study on these peripheral pollinators, which are often neglected in ecological studies. We conducted a bibliographic search to understand the requirements of these peripheral pollinators, which are often neglected in ecological studies. We categorised their needs to complete their life cycle and persist over time in three broad categories: flowers to feed on, places to reproduce and additional resources.

In 2023, the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, had the public administration as the main employer of the city, with over 458,000 employees.

Abstract

Polluted air is a major health hazard in developing countries. Improvements in pollution monitoring and statistical techniques during the last several decades have steadily enhanced the ability to measure the health effects of air pollution. Current methods can detect significant increases in the incidence of cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases, coughing, bronchitis, and lung cancer, as well as premature deaths from these diseases resulting from elevated concentrations of ambient Particulate Matter (Holgate 1999).

Scarce public resources have limited the monitoring of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) concentrations in developing countries, despite their large potential health effects. As a result, policymakers in many developing countries remain uncertain about the exposure of their residents to PM air pollution. The Global Model of Ambient Particulates (GMAPS) is an attempt to bridge this information gap through an econometrically estimated model for predicting PM levels in world cities (Pandey et al. forthcoming).

The estimation model is based on the latest available monitored PM pollution data from the World Health Organization, supplemented by data from other reliable sources. The current model can be used to estimate PM levels in urban residential areas and non-residential pollution hotspots. The results of the model are used to project annual average ambient PM concentrations for residential and non-residential areas in 3,226 world cities with populations larger than 100,000, as well as national capitals.

The study finds wide, systematic variations in ambient PM concentrations, both across world cities and over time. PM concentrations have risen at a slower rate than total emissions. Overall emission levels have been rising, especially for poorer countries, at nearly 6 percent per year. PM concentrations have not increased by as much, due to improvements in technology and structural shifts in the world economy. Additionally, within-country variations in PM levels can diverge greatly (by a factor of 5 in some cases), because of the direct and indirect effects of geo-climatic factors.

The primary determinants of PM concentrations are the scale and composition of economic activity, population, the energy mix, the strength of local pollution regulation, and geographic and atmospheric conditions that affect pollutant dispersion in the atmosphere.

In 2023, the most frequent crimes in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina were robberies and thefts both with over 60,000 registered cases each. During a survey in 2024, crime ranked as the third main problem of Argentina according to public opinion, only surpassed by inflation and low wages. Prisoner population in Argentina Similar to the situation in Buenos Aires, the most prevalent crimes in Argentina were robberies, with approximately 362,566 cases reported in 2021, followed by thefts and threats. Given this prevalent crime environment, Argentina ranked as the 15th country with the largest number of prisoners worldwide in 2022. However, when population size is factored in, Argentina is ranked 19th among the Latin American countries, with 249 prisoners per 100,000 inhabitants. Femicides in Argentina Over the past years, the number of femicides in Argentina has seen an increase, totaling 308 as of 2023, almost 60 cases more than the previous year. Notably, a correlation has been identified among these murders, with a significant portion of them occurring at the victim's home, accounting for 46 percent. Additionally, 39 percent of femicide victims had a relationship with the perpetrator, often being partners.

The number of air passenger arrivals at Governor Francisco Gabrielli International Airport —commonly known as El Plumerillo— declined in 2020 to only 23.1 thousand, after peaking in 2018 at more than 120 thousand. This airport is located in the Argentine city of Mendoza, the fourth largest city in the Latin American country.
