Propuesta preliminar de proyecto de desarrollo rural vinculado a los productores de llamas del departamento de Santa María provincia de Catamarca

La Argentina, Bolivia y Perú, son los países con mayor cantidad de camélidos sudamericanos, en Argentina hay guanacos, llamas y vicuñas. En la Patagonia se destaca la existencia de guanacos mientras que en la región del NOA (Catamarca, Jujuy, La Rioja, Salta, Santiago del Estero y Tucumán) se encuentran vicuñas y llamas. De estas tres especies, la llama es la que puede ser considerada doméstica. La característica endémica de este tipo de ganado en la región sur del continente americano y las condiciones de manejo en la Argentina, entre otras cuestiones, me impulsaron a elaborar la propuesta de un proyecto de desarrollo rural para Santa María de Catamarca, que tenga por población objetivo a los productores de llamas. El proyecto no fue llevado a la práctica. Dado que la elaboración del proyecto está en una etapa inicial y la idea es diseñarlo de forma participativa, el objetivo del trabajo es identificar cuales debieran ser los pasos a seguir en el diseño del proyecto para que el mismo se oriente a un proceso de desarrollo. Los avances se observan principalmente en el análisis de información de fuentes secundarias y entrevistas, de manera tal que permitió elaborar un marco de la situación y contexto. Además, se cuenta con la información obtenida de una dinámica de diagnóstico a través del árbol de problemas y soluciones efectuado con habitantes de la región donde se llevaría adelante el proyecto. Por lo tanto, este trabajo presenta al lector una propuesta preliminar de proyecto de desarrollo rural vinculado a los productores de llamas de Santa María de Catamarca y a su vez una propuesta metodológica sobre como se deberían llevar adelante las etapas que restan a fin de concretar un proyecto de desarrollo rural planificado de forma participativa.

A variabel sombra do sol

Este trabauo ten por obxetivo o dar resposta ás duas cuestións seguintes: a) Por que se produce o cambio no tipo de curvatura das sombras dun obxcto nas distintas estacións do ano? b) As curvas descritas polos extremos da sombras son cónicas?. de que tipo? Como case sempre que se emprende unha busca como esta as preguntas anteriores dan pe. como se verá. a introducir outras cuestiona derivadas delas. Compre facer, antes de empezar. unha pequena introducción ao tema que nos ocupa.

Matemáticas aplicadas a la astronomía: tiempo que transcurre entre la salida y la puesta del Sol en los solsticios

En este artículo se resuelve un problema de astronomía mediante la utilización de la trigonometría elemental y del espacio euclideo tridimensional. Se aspira tener una idea de cómo varía la luz solar en los solsticios a lo largo de las latitudes de nuestro planeta, de polo a polo, y se concluye con un programa informático y una tabla para las latitudes de varias ciudades del mundo.

The visual representation of the “indignados”. A visual analysis about the characterization of the participants of the 15-M movement.

The aim of this work is to show the type of media coverage done by the newspapers La Razón, El País and Público about the 15-M social movement during the time that the camping at Sol took place. Specifically, in terms of how the characterization of the “indignados” (outraged) got made. Based on our previous descriptive observations, we approached a visual analysis of the photographs published on the paper editions of those mainstream media from May 15-June 12 of the 2011. we started from a total sample of 379 items, developing:1) A content analysis of La Razón, El País, and Público; the most frequents words of each media, articles classifications from the reviews found on them (expositive, positive-evaluation, negative-evaluation).2) An analysis of the 408 images obtained from the total sample, which establishes a clear evolution of the “indignados” profile and how differently each media took the movement as such. That’s, when they stop naming them “indignados”, and recognize its nature as social movement by calling it: “Movimiento 15-M"...

Discourses on Modernization in the Employment Public Services: Towards a New Form of Governance?

The “crisis of the social issue” in the EU has led to a certain consensus in the need to renew the organizational and institutional model of public administration. The core of the reform implies important administrative changes in most of the European welfare states. Those changes are inspired on theories such as the new public management, management by objectives or partnership. Such changes involve both semantic (“sharing responsibilities”, “effective costs”, or the substitution of “citizen under an administration” by “consumer”) and political (predominance of scattered forms of power and the individualization of responsibilities) transformations which operate in the framework of individuals and State relations. The paradigms of activation and flexicurity have been central in this public administration modernization project. This commitment with new forms of governance of social issues has important consequences for the political and moral foundations of social cohesion, and the Spanish case is not an exception. This paper aims at looking at those representations of “modernization” (as they appear in debates about the employment services restructuring policies) in detail as well as providing references to the trajectory of such reforms of public services since the early eighties to the beginning of the crisis.

A low molecular weight hydro and organogelator derived from an isohexide and sol-gel transcription of the alcogel

Heating 2,5-di-O-methanesulfonyl-1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-sorbitol (1) in a range of solvents led to the formation of a gel state at low concentrations. 1 was found to gel aromatics, alcohols and water. The structure of 1 in the solid state was solved by single crystal X-ray crystallography; no strong hydrogen bonds or associated solvents were found in the crystal. Electron micrographs revealed the morphology of the gels to be predominantly rod-like. The ethanol alcogel was used to template silica by sol-gel transcription.

The Co-Entrapment of a Homogeneous Catalyst and an Ionic Liquid by a Sol-gel Method: Recyclable Ionogel Hydrogenation Catalysts

Molecular hydrogenation catalysts have been co-entrapped with the ionic liquid [Bmim]NTf(2) inside a silica matrix by a sot-gel method. These catalytic ionogels have been compared to simple catalyst-doped glasses, the parent homogeneous catalysts, commercial heterogeneous catalysts, and Rh-doped mesoporous silica. The most active ionogel has been characterised by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and solid state NMR before and after catalysis. The ionogel catalysts were found to be remarkably active, recyclable and resistant to chemical change.

Ionic liquids as solvent and solvent additives for the synthesis of sol-gel materials

The ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was used as a drying control chemical additive in the synthesis of silica sol-gel materials with and without methanol as a co-solvent. The resulting gels were characterized by using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy and water sorption kinetics. Calcined gels were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption isotherms for surface area and pore volume determination. Non-calcined gels were monolithic and showed general cloudiness with lesser degrees observed at higher IL volumes. Calcinations resulted in the formation of powders with increased available surface area as the amount of IL volume was increased. This is consistent with an increase in respective pore volume but a general decrease in average pore size. The resulting materials exhibited conventional structural microdomains, in contrast to periodicity reported when other ionic liquids were used as templates.

Study of the luminescence of tris(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato)lanthanide(III) complexes covalently linked to 1,10-phenanthroline-functionalized hybrid sol-gel glasses

The solubility and uniform distribution of lanthanide complexes in sol-get glasses can be improved by covalently linking the complexes to the sol-gel matrix. In this study, several lanthanide beta-diketonate complexes (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Er, Yb) were immobilized on a 1,10-phenanthroline functionalized sol-gel glass. For the europium(Ill) complex, a sol-gel material of diethoxydimethylsilane (DEDMS) with polymer-like properties was derived. For the other lanthanide complexes, the sol-gel glass was prepared by using a matrix of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and DEDMS. Both systems were prepared under neutral reaction conditions. High-resolution emission and excitation spectra were recorded. The luminescence lifetimes were measured. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
