Estudio de mercado y viabilidad técnica opérativa para la producción de cáliz de flor de jamaica en el cantón Santa Teresa, municipio de San Sebastián, departamento de San Vicente y su distribución en los principales centros de comercio en la zona metropolítana de San Salvador.

La búsqueda de la mejora de las condiciones de vida de la población salvadoreña da pie a la creación de proyectos que permitan que las personas se conviertan creadoras de fuentes propias de ingresos dada a la falta de empleo que existe en el país, de esta manera surge por parte de fundación Intervida el proyecto de producción de Flor de Jamaica en el cantón Santa Teresa. por lo antes mencionado se realizó el trabajo de graduación titulado “ESTUDIO DE MERCADO Y VIABILIDAD TÉCNICA OPERATIVA PARA LA PRODUCCIÓN DEL CÁLIZ DE FLOR DE JAMAICA EN EL CANTÓN SANTA TERESA, MUNICIPIO DE SAN SEBASTIÁN, DEPARTAMENTO DE SAN VICENTE Y SU DISTRIBUCIÓN EN LOS PRINCIPALES CENTROS DE COMERCIO EN LA ZONA METROPOLITANA DE SAN SALVADOR” Con el objetivo de determinar la existencia real de un mercado, las características de los consumidores potenciales, la capacidad productiva así como también de la propuesta de estrategias de Producción y Comercialización que contribuyan a la incursión de los productores en el mercado. Tomando como base la investigación de campo realizada, se elaboró un diagnósticos de la situación actual, en la que se determinó la existencias de consumidores reales y potenciales de los cálices, la capacidad productiva de los terrenos, la viabilidad de producirlo en el la zona y los problemas a los que enfrentan los productores, permitiendo obtener las conclusiones y recomendaciones siguientes: CONCLUCIONES El Cáliz Deshidratado de Flor de Jamaica es un producto que tiene aceptación en el mercado, puesto que posee propiedades medicinales que las personas reconocen La competencia del mercado informal del Cáliz de Flor de Jamaica es fuerte, por su accesibilidad de precios al momento de adquirir el producto. Los consumidores que están dispuestos a comprar el Cáliz deshidratado de Flor de Jamaica muestran tener preferencia hacia la calidad y el precio al momento de adquirir el producto. En el país existen pocos productores de Cáliz Deshidratado de Flor de Jamaica por lo que la producción es mínima. RECOMENDACIONES Aprovechar la gran aceptación del producto, buscando que el consumidor prefiera la producción nacional y explotando las propiedades medicinales de los cálices. Diseñar estrategias de mercado para introducir el producto y poder competir con la gran oferta de este por parte del mercado internacional (Guatemala y México) Ofrecer al mercado de los consumidores un producto de calidad y precio accesible Ofrecer al mercado de los consumidores un producto de calidad y precio accesible Debido a que existen pocos productores, se debe estimular a las personas a introducirse en la producción de este aprovechando la aceptación que el producto tiene. Con la consideración de los elementos expuestos con anterioridad se elaboraron las estrategias de Producción y Comercialización que permitirán la puesta en marcha del proyecto, detallando a su vez las acciones a seguir en cada una de ellas, siendo las más importantes las siguientes PRODUCCIÓN Siembra Adecuada de la Semilla Cuidado Continúo del Cultivo Maximización de la Calidad COMERCIALIZACIÓN Estrategia Genérica de Comercialización Determinación de la Mezcla Estratégica de Comercialización Finalmente se establecieron las proyecciones de rentabilidad que ofrece el proyecto en las condiciones actuales.

New records of Rhagomys rufescens (Rodentia : Sigmodontinae) in the Atlantic forest of Brazil

Since it was trapped in the XIX(th) century, Rhagomys rufescens has been considered a rare endangered sigmodontine rodent and an endemic species of the Atlantic forest. Only a handful of vouchers of this taxon were known by Thomas, 1886. Recently, eight new individuals were collected, providing new geographical, morphological and phylogenetic (based on molecular evidence) information on this species. In the present work we report the southernmost occurrence record for R. rufescens at Indaial, Santa Catarina State, with the largest collected series of this species, the northernmost occurrence record at Santa Teresa, Espirito Santo State, and new records from Pocos de Caldas, Minas Gerais State, from Ibiuna and Ribeirao Grande, Sao Paulo State.

First register of Biomphalaria straminea Dunker, 1848, in Santa Catarina State

The first register of Biomphalaria straminea, vector species of schistosomiasis, in Santa Catarina State, South Brazil is described. The specimens were obtained from two ornamental aquaria of private residences. In both cases the ornamental plants and/or fishes were bought from the same supplier. The presence of this species was later confirmed in the farm where these plants and fishes are cultivated, in the city of Governador Celso Ramos, also in Santa Catarina State. The occurrence in natural environments was later detected in two different places of the Island of Santa Catarina.

A new species of Sycorax Curtis, 1839 from Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil

A new species of Sycorax Curtis, 1839 (Diptera, Psychodidae) from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. Sycorax bravoi Santos, Ferreira & Falqueto sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on samples collected with a Möricke trap installed on the ground at the Biological Station of Santa Lúcia, municipality of Santa Teresa, in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Males have a paramere with a spiniform prolongation on the distal surface and an aedeagus with a long posterior membranous dorsal prolongation. Females have a racket-shaped genital furca and tubular spermatheca, tapered on the apical third. This finding raises the number of Sycorax species known from Brazil to seven.

Applicability of a distributed watershed pollution model in a data-poor environment in Santa Catarina State, Brazil

Intensification of agricultural production without a sound management and regulations can lead to severe environmental problems, as in Western Santa Catarina State, Brazil, where intensive swine production has caused large accumulations of manure and consequently water pollution. Natural resource scientists are asked by decision-makers for advice on management and regulatory decisions. Distributed environmental models are useful tools, since they can be used to explore consequences of various management practices. However, in many areas of the world, quantitative data for model calibration and validation are lacking. The data-intensive distributed environmental model AgNPS was applied in a data-poor environment, the upper catchment (2,520 ha) of the Ariranhazinho River, near the city of Seara, in Santa Catarina State. Steps included data preparation, cell size selection, sensitivity analysis, model calibration and application to different management scenarios. The model was calibrated based on a best guess for model parameters and on a pragmatic sensitivity analysis. The parameters were adjusted to match model outputs (runoff volume, peak runoff rate and sediment concentration) closely with the sparse observed data. A modelling grid cell resolution of 150 m adduced appropriate and computer-fit results. The rainfall runoff response of the AgNPS model was calibrated using three separate rainfall ranges (< 25, 25-60, > 60 mm). Predicted sediment concentrations were consistently six to ten times higher than observed, probably due to sediment trapping along vegetated channel banks. Predicted N and P concentrations in stream water ranged from just below to well above regulatory norms. Expert knowledge of the area, in addition to experience reported in the literature, was able to compensate in part for limited calibration data. Several scenarios (actual, recommended and excessive manure applications, and point source pollution from swine operations) could be compared by the model, using a relative ranking rather than quantitative predictions.
