O criptorquidismo é uma alteração reprodutiva em homens, caracterizada pela ausência de deslocamento de um ou ambos os testículos da cavidade abdominal para o escroto. O diagnóstico deve ser feito através de inspeção visual e palpação cuidadosa do escroto. Um gato macho de seis meses de idade, SRD, pesando 2,7 kg, foi visto em uma Clínica Veterinária em Arapiraca/AL, pesando 2,7 kg, para uma consulta médica de rotina. À palpação, ao caminhar no exame físico, foi observado que o paciente não tinha testículos no escroto. O tratamento de escolha para o criptorquidismo neste caso foi a castração bilateral, principalmente devido ao fato de que a patologia é hereditária. A ocorrência de criptorquidismo bilateral não é comum em gatos, sendo de etiologia multifatorial pouco descrita nesta espécie devido à ausência de sinais clínicos, comprometendo a fertilidade do animal, passando despercebida pelo proprietário e sendo pouco discutida na literatura.

This issue of the Journal finds us in the midst of profound changes and celebrations. It has been five years since the team of the then School of Social Work (UNC) and the tenacious determination of the Director of the Journal -Nora Aquín- defined the reissue of the Social Conscience, this time in digital format. Five years ago, together with Nora, the Academic Council and the Editorial Team were constituted under the desire and commitment to reopen a space to promote discussions, debates and new questions in the field of Social Sciences and Social Work.Today, we celebrate a new cycle of five years and ten issues of the Revista Conciencia Social, in which we invite ourselves -through thematic calls- to address some of those issues that question professional interventions, that challenge the questions of our research and that stress the reflections on our practices. These are five years and ten issues in which we dared to put into words what we work, think, discuss and build on a daily basis.This celebration also finds us going through profound changes. Our dear Nora Aquín decided that it was time to delegate the task of directing the Journal, sharing with us the enormous challenge of continuing this project that was germinating from the impulse she gave it during these years. At the same time, together with the growth of our Faculty, the Journal has joined the Institute of Politics, Society and Social Intervention (IPSIS-FCS) which today houses us and puts us in dialogue with a countless number of research, extension and postgraduate training projects. This double inscription - being a Social Work career and being IPSIS - enriches the voices and viewpoints with which the Journal's agenda is built, links us with another set of institutional actors and will surely allow us to enhance the commitment to qualify and make visible the productions of those of us who do Social Work and Social Sciences. Disputes for recognition... The theme of this tenth issue is born towards the middle of the year 2021, impregnated by the remembrances of those deeds that, 20 years ago, staged the urgencies of unresolved daily needs, the popular organization as resistance and re-existence, the rights disputed in popular pots and the streets as spaces for recognition and construction of power. We remembered that our country -during those years before and after the 2001 crisis- was the scene of countless experiences of other economies; generating in some cases, collective processes that today persist and are strengthened in Popular Economy organizations. It is particularly in contexts of crisis -such as the ones we are going through today- in which the experiences of these other economies are reinstalled in territorial spaces, in public agendas and in the daily lives of large sectors of the population. Experiences that both stress and articulate the challenge of becoming income-generating strategies, while questioning and resisting the hegemonic mode of capitalist production and accumulation. It was from these remembrances that we called for the submission of articles that would give voice and visibility to the multiple paths that Popular Economy organizations have been building in a context in which the dispute for other ways of producing, consuming and distributing is essential. This tenth issue gathers a set of articles that, from different perspectives and entry points, contribute to the conceptualization, systematization and reflection on the situated experiences of popular economy in our country; reconstructing the organizational processes, the actors and their relationships, the disputes for power and the tense and necessary links with the state policy. Likewise, the Review invites us to an exciting journey through the notion(s) of work from its multiple meanings, subjectivities, historicities and configurations; emphasizing the complexities with which these works configure the daily life, make life and society in contemporary times. Finally, the Interview gives us -in the first person- reflections made from the voice of a member of a social, productive and political organization in the west of the province of Tucumán, Argentina. In the dialogue, in the question, answer and re-question, a set of affirmations, challenges and knowledge are interwoven, which emerge from those daily forms of work and economies that the organizations build, sustain and recreate. Twenty years after the 2001 crisis, the current situation brings us back to these experiences of economies, of production, of other ways of working and reproducing life; experiences of organized collectives that fight for their recognition as workers, as producers and also as political actors. In the words of Nancy Fraser, "the "struggle for recognition" is fast becoming the paradigmatic form of political conflict at the end of the twentieth century". It is in these arenas and running the margins that Popular Economy organizations burst onto the scene to become inescapable actors in the disputes about the world we want to be.

This article analyzes the place given to this sector in the Ministry of Social Development of Argentina between 1999 and the present, including the period of pandemic. It gives an account of the consolidation of this sector in the public agenda and of social policy in Argentina and its centrality as the axis of the definition and intervention of the social question by the political authorities in different government administrations. Based on the notion of social institutionality, three dimensions are analyzed in their deployment in the portfolio framework: i. the programs developed; ii. the mutations of the portfolio organization charts that allow recognizing hierarchies and shifts; iii. the ministerial budgetary allocations and within them those destined to the areas and programs of the social and popular economy. The study is supported by bibliographic sources and the analysis of official documents.

In this article we analyze from a multidisciplinary approach the organization of a sector of the class that lives from work in Argentina that makes up the range of experiences of the Popular Economy. It establishes a dialogue between our respective doctoral theses in progress, where we seek to understand the complexity of the Popular Economy at local and national level (its definitions, experiences, and valuations) specially looking through the conflicts related to their social recognition and identity representations. In view of this, we first specify some methodological aspects of the research, the relationship between this sector and the social context that made it possible and some academic debates on definitions of the Popular Economy. Then, we propose analytical elements to discuss with stigmatizing discourses about those who are part of the PE in a country like Argentina. Finally, we analyze this experience from the interrelation between the national level of the Confederation of Workers of the Popular Economy and the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (CTEP- UTEP), and the trajectories lived by some people who are part of the organization in Cordoba.

Foreword by Fabian Calderón (UNLaR) We conceive the facts of social, institutional, academic and political life as dynamic, situated, feeling-thinking and committed processes with our personal and collective views. The presence and closeness of our Latin American perspective allows us to experience, with deep joy and pleasure, listening to the thoughts and ideas of someone we admire and celebrate: Dr. Álvaro García Lineras. Allalla! It is admiration for the great teacher, educator, researcher, maker, intellectual and manager of policies in the construction of welfare for his people of Bolivia and for all America. His anti-colonial, anti-imperialist thinking is linked in a revolutionary praxis, the feeling of the original peoples who recovered voices and visibilities of an institutional task. Recovering the Bolivian people and their peasant, indigenous and mining organizations, from a situated epistemology, is a great epic and materialization of a theory that makes neoliberalism uncomfortable. When he affirms, "nobody has the way out, but we have to look for it" it is the most heartfelt and challenging provocation of a true doer, a revolutionary of words. Inviting us to organize ourselves as peoples and collectives to confront what neoliberalism is always ready to take away from us and hand it over to the market. From the social sciences, and specifically from Social Work, we recognize his great trajectory, knowledge, reflections and practices expressed in his vast and fruitful theoretical production. This strengthens us in our professional practice, in a meaningful life, where we become empowered subjects, ready to build a profession that accompanies suffering subjects, crossed by structural and conjunctural crises. Also traversed by the problems that originate in the social economic matrix that is always restrictive, that never ends up being a distributive practice for the whole of society and that alters social peace, since it builds discourses and selective practices from the hegemonic power apparatuses. With Álvaro as our banner, we are encouraged to think about the consolidation of the Patria Grande, the integration of peoples and the strengthening of a situated thought and epistemic construction. To dialogue with our problems in our federal homeland of men and women and collectives of diversities that dare to challenge AN ORDER permanently instituted to fragment. His vision as a manager in the public issue synthesizes the pains that still remain, the shame of structural problems that are pending resolution, complex debts to be settled and that always - in his thinking and institutional praxis - appear as answers. They become "That utopia that at times approaches us and sometimes drastically moves away from us". His presence and sharpness of his analysis make him a lighthouse, a living and hopeful flame that gathers a multiplicity of little fires (Galeano, 2000) ready to join the emancipating bonfire of the peoples. Its permanent invitation to feel part of a committed, defiant socialism, ready to fight the battles in an increasingly individualistic, unequal, inequitable and unjust capitalist world, to design the construction of the Pluricultural State. The "fight, win, fall and get up" works in the academic world and in the popular sectors, as a clear didactic and hopeful message to build a creative knowledge, our own, ours, regional, essential for those who love and seek the common good of our people, institutions and public universities.  Now and always, Álvaro Presente.

El libro que les invitamos a leer es una obra de reciente edición que lleva ya algunos años siendo construida y reflexionada. La emergencia del covid-19, puso en evidencia la materialidad y pulsión tanática que envuelve a lxs cuerpxs  feminizados y racializados en Nuestra América. Esto, a lo largo del libro, se constituye como una premisa política que hunde sus raíces en la urgencia reflexiva de parar la guerra hacia las mujeres y cuerpxs feminizados. A lo largo de sus capítulos busca cuestionar las discusiones cristalizadas sobre la violencia criminal que tornan impotentes a lxs cuerpxs desechadxs del sistema. En este sentido, los apartados se van construyendo como interpretaciones teórico-políticas que, con rigurosidad analítica, buscan interpretar para transformar e intervenir para comprender.

In this article we will try to think about some practices of organization and management of resources developed by referents of Popular Neighborhoods of Salta capital, we talk about practices framed in the planning and execution of public social and urban policies, analyzed from a government key, with cleavage territorial. The development of self-managed work by referents of the Barrios Populares communities and collaborators, as well as dialogue, modes of work and pressure on the provincial and municipal State, is circumscribed within the framework of a broad struggle developed by the poorest communities from among the poor, in northern Argentina, for the exercise of fundamental rights. We understand some of these practices as neighborhood self-government tactics. The analytical and descriptive treatment of this work is developed by codifying discursive and extra-discursive aspects through the instrumentation of official government documents, local and national newspapers, to the extent that passages from field logs are codified. From there we position ourselves from a qualitative perspective and articulate resources from Social Sciences and Political Philosophy.

In March, 2020, the Argentinian government ordained a process of Compulsory Preventive Social Isolation. This was provoked by the advance of SarsCov2 virus. The population divided between two groups: those considered as essentials and those that had to accomplish the Isolation order in home. This article pretends to make up for some analysis about the Social Work intervention in the field of Primary Health Services within a city-peripheric neighborhood. The intervention process is analyzed, from the primary decisions, certainties, and doubts. Lastly, there are some thoughts over learnings, questions and disciplinary contributions to the specificities-of-social-work debate. The reflections in this article are preliminary and unfinished, and they will be, for sure, revised in a near future, when Social Work as a discipline within the social field, would have built better answers to the social question complexity, much more profound than during the sanitary emergency.

In this article we intend to present some ideas and reflections produced after the analysis of the last year of work in the professional space of the public sphere of the City of Córdoba, Argentina. The intervention from the Sanitary Commission and the Provincial Tuberculosis Control Program in this time of Pandemic, allowed us to understand that words such as Isolation, Quarantine, Distancing have an unequal impact on the populations that make up the province of Córdoba, because the transit during this time for those who are excluded, outside the system and disadvantaged compared to others, in terms of resources and accessibility. Therefore, the dynamic process to which we refer when we speak of health was tinged with particularities that lead us to think about what State and, above all, what kind of public policies are necessary during and after the Pandemic. In this framework, Social Work interprets and accompanies health processes; while proposing intervention strategies that bring the enjoymen t of rights closer to citizens. In this sense, being able to think about recreating the intervention and the ways of approaching it, constitutes the challenge that we set ourselves for this space of reflection.

In this article we intend to address the complex relationship between the categories inequalities-equality. In contemporary times, there are multiple ways of approaching the analysis of inequalities, so the debate leads us to review not only the starting points for these conceptualizations, but also their ethical and political effects in the construction of social reality. current. For this tour we start from a historical and critical position, and from a rights approach. Thus, we begin by reviewing the construction of the category of equality from the irruption of modern thought in the West, with the tensions that neoliberalism brought from the last decades of the 20th century, in order to advance on the different readings that arise in a second moment. regarding inequalities in the contemporary debate. Finally, and as a synthesis -which we do not intend to be closed- we propose some reflections that allow us to continue deepening these necessary analyzes for a deep and situated understanding of inequalities and the processes of citizenship in our societies, as a field of dispute for rights that they aspire to be institutionalized.
