Some aspects of the biology of Johnieops sina (Cuvier, 1830) from Mumbai waters

Investigations on food and feeding of Johnieops sina indicated that it feeds mainly on penaeid prawns, Acetes spp. and fishes. Penaeid prawns were found to be its preferred food item. The spawning activity was observed throughout the year with two peaks in February and August, supported by prominent peaks of gonadosomatic index in the same months. The minimum size at first maturity for females was 153 mm. The absolute fecundity ranged from 28,495 to 135,346 eggs for the ovaries weighing 1.30 to 9.49 g.

Aceptación y/o rechazo al uso de las tecnologías en el aula. Caso: profesor de matemáticas

El objetivo principal de este trabajo surge por la inquietud de estudiantes y profesores de Institutos de Educación Universitaria en Venezuela (Universidad Simón Bolívar, Universidad Nacional Abierta, Universidad Nacional Experimental de las Fuerzas Armadas, Universidad Pedagógica, entre otras); así como también los comentarios de algunos colegas de Universidades en Costa Rica y República Dominicana, donde se observa con gran preocupación el rechazo que presentan y plantean muchos profesores en el área de las matemáticas al uso e implementación de las tecnologías en sus programas y contenidos programáticos. Luego de realizar los estudios y corroborar el grado de analfabetismo tecnológico existente en los profesores de matemática, se consideraron elaborar cursos, diplomados y talleres para involucrar a nuestros docentes en el uso de las tecnologías.

Welfare Regimes and “progressive” governments in Latin America: The cases of Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia

Several authors have applied the concept of Welfare Regimens for studying social policy in Latin America (Esping-Andersen, 1993 and 2000). Among others, Martínez Franzoni (2007) develops a typology, with fi eld work is at the turn of the millennium, and establishes three categories: State-productivist regime, state-protectionist and family orientated. Most countries in the region are placed in the latter category. The hypothesis of this article argues that with the emergence of governments considered “left” or “progressive” in several countries of the region from the late ‘90s and, more decisively, in 2000’, the map of welfare regimes models could have mutated substantively. The nationally transformative experiences are different (various socio-economic realities and political action in which they are located exists) but they have several contact points that can be summarized in a greater state intervention in different areas previously closed to their operating and recovery of important functions of welfare and care of the population by the government. The paper discusses with an exploratory and descriptive approach the welfare schemes that would shape in three countries that have constitutionalized the change from the neoliberal paradigm: Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador.
