Information and Development

According to the National Academy of Sciences of the United States was Modern electronics has given rise to a second Industrial Revolution ... its impact on society could be higher even than the original industrial revolution.The information is granted a number of attributes that have made valued as an asset as necessary as the energy source.Repeat with more conviction to as we move into the twenty-first century, that of scientific and technological development depends nations.

National Information Networks and International

We can categorically state that the information is the main ingredient of the culture of a people. Defining information as a set of processed data that are needed, have value and meaning for individuals and for developing countries where data is any fact.The information could also be considered as an international resource indispensable. The scientific and technological development is a consequence of the relevant information is handled. The "heap" is a source of information that libraries must consider and integrate them because they give rise to more information and new technology. The need for improved information systems in recent years, it has become critical because the information data grows in quantity and complexity of organization. Consequently, some libraries have tried to coordinate functions, redistribute resources, identify needs and work together to give easier access to information

Cloud Computing to Automate Information Units

This article will address the main technical aspects that facilitate the use and growth of computer technology in the cloud, which go hand in hand with the emergence of more and better services on the Internet and technological development of the broadband. Finally, we know what is the impact that the cloud computing technologies in the automation of information units.

Tecnología y desarrollo del sector cafetalero en Nicaragua

ResumenEste estudio analiza el cultivo del café en dos regiones en Nicaragua, concluyendo que hay mayores perspectivas para su desarrollo en el Interior Central. La situación microeconómica presta condiciones favorables para un desarrollo tecnológico enfocado en el mejoramiento de los sistemas tradicionales, pero menos para el plan de renovación con un enfoque productivista promovido por el gobierno.AbstractThis study discusses coffee cultivation in two regions of Nicaragua, and reaches the conclusion that there are better prospects for its development in the Central Interior region. The macroeconomic situation provides favorable conditions for a technological development geared toward the improvement of traditional systems, more than for the productivist approach adopted by the government.

TÉCNICAS CARTOGRÁFICAS PARA LA ORDENACIÓN DEL TERRITORIO Y SU DESARROLLO URBANÍSTICO. APLICACIÓN EN LA PLANIFICACIÓN DE GUADALAJARA-ESPAÑA Y TEGUCIGALPA-HONDURAS.

Es un hecho constatable que la cartografía y el urbanismo está íntimamente relacionado. El desarrollo tecnológico experimentado en la Cartografía y en disciplinas afines como la geodesia, la topografía, los Modelos Digitales del Terreno, la fotogrametría, la teledetección y la gestión de las basesde datos relacionadas, utilizando como herramienta los S.I.G´s, nos han permitido cartografiar, con la precisión requerida, el Término Municipal de Guadalajara-España para la ordenación del Plan 2000 y su desarrollo. Todas ellas pretendemos ponerlas en práctica para la ordenación territorial deTegucigalpa-Honduras, realizando como paso previo su Red G. P. S.Palabras clave: Cartografía, Urbanismo, Geodesia, Ordenación Territorial.ABSTRACTIt is an indisputable fact that cartography and urban planning are inextricably linked. Technological development experienced in cartography and related disciplines, such as geodesy, surveying, Digital Terrain Models, photogrammetry, remote sensing and management of related databases using GIS as the tool, has enabled us to map with required precision the municipality of Guadalajara (Spain) to manage the Plan 2000 and its development. The intention now is to implement in Tegucigalpa (Honduras) the same regional land use planning using the GPS network.Key words: Cartography. Urban Planning. Geodesy. Regional Land Use Planning.

Feasibility in Using Technological Resources for Implementing the Environmental Culture Cross-Cutting Factor for Sustainable Development in the Costa Rican Basic General Education

The purpose of this research was to analyze whether the use of technological resources may be feasible in the implementation of the environmental culture cross-cutting factor for sustainable development, which focuses on environmental issues related to the contents of the Science study program for the seventh year of the basic general education. The research design is qualitative with a dominant approach and uses some quantitative elements specifically in the design of instruments and some data analysis techniques. The type of study was developed with a multi-method approach; a trend that has been shaping a research style which integrates various methods in a single design. For this, we identified the didactic strategies and their relationship to both, technology and the environmental axis for sustainable development, used by six Science teachers of the 7th grade, in public institutions of the province of Heredia, Central Valley, Costa Rica, as well as the opinion of 20 students from that same grade. The main results include the opinions of the students, who showed a considerable interest in classes where technological resources are used. However, teachers do not show great interest or positive opinions on this matter; in addition, they are not well trained on the use of technological resources. It was also identified that the teaching personal who participated in the study do not develop this curricular axis.
