Congreso Nacional de la federación española de colegios religiosos de enseñanza de España. Se señalaron como defectos principales de la juventud la falta de madurez y egoísmo de un 38 por ciento que se educó en colegios religiosos, un 32 en centros del estado, y un 19 en institutos municipales y varias. En cuanto a la formación religiosa recibida por los encuestados un 11 por ciento de respuestas positivas frente a un 74 por ciento que contestó que la formación religiosa que recibió fue negativa. Este Congreso trata de estudiar la crisis religiosa que sufre la juventud debida a la influencia europea y a la sociedad de confort en la que vivimos. Se proponen tomar medidas para intentar paliar esta crisis y presentar la doctrina de la iglesia de una forma más realista a los jóvenes.

La presente investigación establece una propuesta de estructura asociativa que apoya a la producción y fortifica las cadenas agro productivas del tomate de árbol en Ecuador, para lo cual se recopiló información relevante acerca de planificación estratégica, desarrollo territorial y enfoques asociativos para marcar la base conceptual que fundamentó la propuesta final. Se realizó el diagnóstico del sector mediante el análisis PEST, para conocer cómo pueden influenciar los factores Políticos, Económicos, Sociales y Tecnológicos en la propuesta final de esta investigación. También se analizó a la industria, mediante el análisis de las cinco fuerzas de Porter para comprender la interacción de las fuerzas competitivas y se identificó y caracterizó a todos los actores de la cadena agro productiva del tomate de árbol. Finalmente se analizaron casos exitosos sobre asociatividad desarrollados en Ecuador y Colombia, con la finalidad de extraer aspectos convergentes, divergentes y factores clave de éxito. La información recopilada sirvió de base para realizar la propuesta final, la cual determinó dos enfoques asociativos como los más adecuados para una iniciativa como la planteada, los cuales son los negocios inclusivos y empresa ancla. Finalmente se identificó a Pichincha como la provincia que presenta mejor ubicación estratégica para poder desarrollar esta propuesta.

Este artículo analiza las Cartas Annuas jesuitas entre 1586 y 1660 que hacen referencia a la Audiencia de Quito. Esta fuente poco consultada se utiliza para sondear las estrategias jesuitas de evangelización y el régimen de administración de sacramentos de la orden en Quito. El artículo propone que las estrategias de evangelización jesuita dieron un giro al pasar de un encuentro con la religión nativa que incluyó un interés en mitos prehispánicos y extirpación de idolatría a un enfoque tabula rasa que se centraba en la administración de sacramentos. El artículo atribuye este giro a la transferencia del Colegio jesuita de Quito de la provincia jesuita de Perú a la provincia del Nuevo Reino (Nueva Granada). El artículo contextualiza el encuentro jesuita con la cultura nativa y la operación del régimen sacramental con referencia al concepto de las dos evangelizaciones de Juan Carlos Estenssoro, la noción de poder pastoral de Michel Foucault y la idea de la confesionalización perteneciente a la historiografía de la modernidad temprana europea.

Answering many of the critical questions in conservation, development and environmental management requires integrating the social and natural sciences. However, understanding the array of available quantitative methods and their associated terminology presents a major barrier to successful collaboration. We provide an overview of quantitative socio-economic methods that distils their complexity into a simple taxonomy. We outline how each has been used in conjunction with ecological models to address questions relating to the management of socio-ecological systems. We review the application of social and ecological quantitative concepts to agro-ecology and classify the approaches used to integrate the two disciplines. Our review included all published integrated models from 2003 to 2008 in 27 journals that publish agricultural modelling research. Although our focus is on agro-ecology, many of the results are broadly applicable to other fields involving an interaction between human activities and ecology. We found 36 papers that integrated social and ecological concepts in a quantitative model. Four different approaches to integration were used, depending on the scale at which human welfare was quantified. Most models viewed humans as pure profit maximizers, both when calculating welfare and predicting behaviour. Synthesis and applications. We reached two main conclusions based on our taxonomy and review. The first is that quantitative methods that extend predictions of behaviour and measurements of welfare beyond a simple market value basis are underutilized by integrated models. The second is that the accuracy of prediction for integrated models remains largely unquantified. Addressing both problems requires researchers to reach a common understanding of modelling goals and data requirements during the early stages of a project.

Development policies in the pastoral areas of Africa assume that pastoralists are poor. Using the Afar pastoralists of Ethiopia as the focus of research this article challenges this depiction of pastoralism by exploring pastoral livelihood goals and traditional strategies for managing risk. Investment in social institutions to minimise the risk of outright destitution, sometimes at the cost of increased poverty, and significant manipulation of local markets enable the Afar to exploit a highly uncertain and marginal environment. Improved development assistance and enhanced targeting of the truly vulnerable within pastoral societies demands an acceptance that pastoral poverty is neither uniform nor universal.

Declines of farmland birds have been pronounced in landscapes dominated by lowland livestock production and densities of seed-eating birds are particularly low in such areas. Modern livestock production often entails a simple cropping system dominated by ley grassland and maize grown for animal feed. These crops often lack invertebrate and seed resources for foraging birds and can be hostile nesting environments. Cereal-based wholecrop silages (CBWCS) offer potential benefits for farmland birds because they can be grown with minimal herbicide applications and can be spring-sown with following winter stubbles. We compared the biodiversity benefits and agronomic yields of winter-sown wheat and spring-sown barley as alternatives to grass and maize silage in intensive dairy livestock systems. Seed-eating birds foraged mainly in CBWCS fields during summer, and mainly on barley stubbles during winter and this reflected the higher densities of seed-bearing plants therein. Maize and grass fields lacked seed-bearing vegetation and were strongly avoided by most seed-eating birds. Production costs of CBWCS are similar to those of maize and lower than those of grass silage. Selective (rather than broad-spectrum) herbicide application on spring barley crops increased forb cover, reduced yields (by 11%) but caused only a small (<4%) increase in production costs. CBWCS grown with selective herbicide and with following winter stubbles offer a practical conservation measure for seed-eating farmland birds in landscapes dominated by intensively-managed grassland and maize. However, the relatively early harvesting of CBWCS could destroy a significant proportion of breeding attempts of late-nesting species like corn bunting (Emberiza calandra) or yellow wagtail (Motocilla flava). Where late-breeding species are likely to nest in CBWCS fields, harvesting should be delayed until most nesting attempts have been completed (e.g. until after 1st August in southern Britain).
