Understanding the city: Abasto in Buenos Aires

Explaining how cities function, revealing their underlying and often invisible workings, helping children to grasp the complex urban environment in which they live – these were the challenges that led to the creation of an unusual children’s museum in Buenos Aires. Cinthia Rajschmir was a member of the team that founded the Museo de los Niños: Abasto (Abasto Children's Museum) and participated in the development of the main theme, the pedagogical content and the basic materials used for the museum’s design. She is a graduate in the pedagogical sciences and since 1993 has formed part of the editorial team of the Revista Novedades Educativas (Educational News Review). She is currently engaged in research on the history of Argentine school museums as part of a project being carried out by the University of Buenos Aires.

<h3>Background</h3> Our objective was to assess whether exposure to tobacco in video games is associated with smoking among adolescent gamers from Argentina. <h3>Methods</h3> Cross-sectional data were analysed from students in public and private middle schools in Argentina. Tobacco content in video games was estimated using previously validated methods and adolescents’ tobacco exposure was assessed by multiplying tobacco content in the top three video games they play by the hours played per day. The primary outcome was current smoking. Multilevel logistic regression models adjusted for clustering within schools, regressing current smoking on tobacco exposure in video games (ie, none, low, high) after controlling for age, sex, parental education, parenting style, parental rules about the use of video games, rebelliousness, sensation seeking and ‘technophilia’. <h3>Results</h3> Of the 3114 students who participated, 92% of boys (1685/1802) and 56% of girls (737/1312) played video games and were included in the analytical sample. The prevalence of smoking was 13.8% among boys and 22.0% among girls; 74.5% of boys played video games more than 1 hour per day compared with 47.7% of girls. High exposure to tobacco content in video games compared with no exposure was independently associated with current smoking among girls (OR 1.78; 95% CI 1.02 to 3.09) but not among boys (OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.64 to 1.51). <h3>Conclusions</h3> Greater exposure to tobacco content in video games was associated with higher likelihood of smoking among Argentine girls who play video games, suggesting the need for policies that limit these exposures.

The Elementary School in Argentina

AHUNDRED years have passed since Horace Mann electrified the educational world with his sweeping reforms in the Massachusetts school system. Today to the educator in this country he stands a legendary figure, historically significant but exerting little influence on an expanded educational system tremendously more complex than that of his day. In Argentina his influence still reaches into the humblest rural school. Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (i) visited the United States, was greatly impressed with the most progressive elements of New England education, and became a disciple of Horace Mann. More important to the school system of Argentina, he became minister of public instruction and president of the Republic. From his teaching are traced practically all the great trends in Argentine elementary education (7). The fifth article of the national constitution states that each
