Análisis crítico a los agro(bio)combustibles

Industry, governments, and scientists that promote biofuels think these will become an alternative to oil, which is running out. These new fuels are supposed to help in containing climate change through greenhouse gas emission reduction, increasing farmers´ incomes, and promoting rural development. However, rigorous research and analyses undertaken by serious ecologists and social scientists suggests that the current boom in biofuels industry will be disastrous for farmers, the natural environment, the preservation of biodiversity, and particularly for poor consumers.

Learning Process in Teaching and Bio-pedagogical Knowledge Building

Bio-pedagogy is built on praxis, i.e. the interrelationship between reflection and innovative action where these two merge in the construction of senses to generate knowledge. Then, the following question arises: How is teaching understood? How can practice be renovated from the action-reflection-action in a recurring manner and in life itself? A way to search for those answers is the systematization of experiences –a modality of qualitative research. It promotes the transformation of a common practice, based on knowledge building by holistic approaches to the educational process complexity. The systematization of bio-pedagogical experiences involves self-organization, joy, uncertainty and passion; it respects freedom and autonomy, and generates relational spaces, which promote creative processes in learning.

EFECTOS TERRITORIALES DEL TSUNAMI DEL 27 DE FEBRERO DE 2010 EN LA COSTA DE LA REGIÓN DEL BIO-BÍO, CHILE

El 27 de febrero de 2010 la costa de Chile central fue afectada por terremoto Mw=8.8 el cual generó un tsunami de magnitud 4 que asoló principalmente bahías pequeñas en un tramo costero de 800 km. Unas 484 personas perdieron la vida. En la Región del Bio-Bío, murieron 199 personas ya que en este sector se localiza la segunda conurbación más importante del país. Con el propósito de analizar los efectos territoriales generados por este tsunami en la costa de la región, se iniciaron trabajos de terreno para determinar la altura y run-up de la ola, catastrar los efectos sobre la población y localizar sectores de mayor impacto. Estas actividades están posibilitando generar estudios de vulnerabilidad para diferentes localidades de la región, comparando escenarios pre y post tsunami para generar mapas de riesgo por tsunami para eventos de similares características, que sirvan posteriormente como instrumentos de gestión del riesgo. En esta contribución, se presentan los resultados de los trabajos de campo realizados en siete localidades afectadas por el tsunami (Tirúa, Lebu, Tubul-Raqui, LLico, Coliumo, Laraquete y Arauco). En estos sectores, las áreas inundadas fluctúan entre 59 y 458 has, con alturas de ola entre 3 y 30 m.
