Como identificar a vaca com mastite em sua propriedade: cartilhas elaboradas conforme a metodologia e-Rural.

A mastite é a mais frequente doença das vacas de leite. É uma inflamação da mama provocada por alguns microrganismos ou germes. A identificação ou a confirmação da doença é realizado por meio de exames ou testes no campo "ao pé da vaca" ou no laboratório.

Curso de nivelación para los alumnos de nuevo ingreso en la Escuela Universitaria de Arquitectura Técnica de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

En la Escuela Universitaria de Arquitectura Técnica de Madrid, se ha desarrollado un curso que cabe denominar de Nivelación. Incluyó un conjunto de actividades destinadas a lograr que los alumnos accedieran con éxito al mundo Universitario. Era un curso dirigido a los alumnos que una vez concluido el bachillerato y superadas las Pruebas de Acceso a Estudios Universitarios habían sido admitidos para cursar el primer curso de los estudios conducentes al título universi-tario oficial de Arquitecto Técnico. El curso ha sido impartido por profesores de la Escuela Universitaria de Arquitectura Técnica de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid adscritos, respectivamente, a los Departamentos "EXPRE-SIÓN GRAFICA APLICADA A LA EDIFICACIÓN", "MATEMÁTICAS APLICADAS A LA ARQUITECTURA TÉCNICA" y "TECNOLOGÍA DE LA EDIFICACIÓN". Cada uno de los tres Departamentos concretó inicialmente las asignaturas y los temarios a des-arrollar sí bien a lo largo del proceso las enseñanzas se produjeron algunas modificaciones para una mejor adaptación del curso a las necesidades reales de los alumnos. En la ponencia se analizarán los avances y descubrimientos de los profesores en sus respectivos campos y se presentarán las conclusiones obtenidas así como las posibles modificaciones para futuras ediciones de cursos similares.

From privatisation to governed nature. Old and new approaches to rural commons in Spain

Recent decades have witnessed a shift in the studies on Spanish rural commons, in line with the changes in the international literature as a whole. The focus in the 1970s was on the land privatization process referred to as disentailment (Desamortización), being considered one of the essential dimensions of the transition to capitalism. The recent revival of interest in rural commons has focused less on privatization than on the real functioning of the commons and the social relations articulated around them. A further focus of interest is the interaction between rural society and the State, mainly through the study of forestry policy and its effects on different regions. A third field of interest is the emergence of conflicts around rural commons; not only those of a distributive nature but also environmental and political ones. Accordingly, these new approaches go beyond the old image of a fatal destiny in order to profoundly analyze the environmental and social interactions of rural commons dynamics.

The ecology of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) in rural Ireland

This study on the ecology of Irish hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) has provided information on detection techniques, home range, habitat selection, hedgehog prey, nesting, courtship, genetics, road mortality, parasites, ageing and morphology of this species. Data were obtained from a focal study area in rural Cork, in which 24 radio tagged hedgehogs were monitored from June 2008 to June 2010. Further data were obtained through road kill surveys and the collection of hedgehog carcasses from around Ireland. Hedgehogs of both sexes were found to display philopatry. Habitat was not used in proportion to its availability, but certain habitats were selected and a similar pattern of habitat selection was evident in successive years. Hedgehogs preferred arable land in September and October and, unlike studies elsewhere, were observed to forage in the centre of fields. Badgers were regularly seen at the study site and did not appear to negatively affect hedgehogs’ use of the area. Instead the intra- and inter-habitat distribution of hedgehogs was closely correlated with that of their potential prey. Male hedgehogs had a mean annual home range of 56 ha and females 16.5 ha, although monthly home ranges were much more conservative. Male home range peaked during the breeding season (April-July) and a peak in road deaths was observed during these months. The majority of road kill (54%) were individuals of one year old or less, however, individuals were found up to eight and nine years of age. Genetic analysis showed a distinct lack of genetic variation amongst Irish hedgehogs and suggests colonisation by a small number of individuals. The ectoparasites, Archaeopsylla erinacei, Ixodes hexagonus and Ixodes canisuga were recorded in addition to the endoparasites Crenosoma striatum and Capillaria erinacei. In light of the reported decline in many areas of the hedgehogs’ range, it is a species of conservation concern, and this is the first study examining the ecology of the hedgehog in Ireland.

Comparing impacts of new cropping systems on biodiversity in traditional rural China

This study selected six geographically-similar villages with traditional and alternative cultivation methods (two groups of three, one traditional and two alternatives) in two counties of Henan Province, China—a representative area of the Huang-huai-hai Plain representing traditional rural China. Soil heavy metal concentrations, floral and faunal biodiversity, and socio-economic data were recorded. Heavy metal concentrations of surface soils from three sites in each village were analysed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS, chromium, nickel, copper, cadmium, and lead) and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS, zinc). The floral biodiversity of four land-use types was recorded following the Braun-Blanquet coverage-abundance method using 0.5×0.5m quadrats. The faunal biodiversity of two representative farmland plots was recorded using 0.3×0.3m quadrats at four 0.1m layers. The socio-economic data were recorded through face-to-face interviews of one hundred randomly selected households at each village. Results demonstrate different cultivation methods lead to different impact on above variables. Traditional cultivation led to lower heavy metal concentrations; both alternative managements were associated with massive agrochemical input causing heavy metal pollution in farmlands. Floral distribution was significantly affected by village factors. Diverse cultivation supported high floral biodiversity through multi-scale heterogeneous landscapes containing niches and habitats. Faunal distribution was also significantly affected by village factor nested within soil depth. Different faunal groups responded differently, with Acari being taxonomically diverse and Collembola high in densities. Increase in manual labour and crop number in villages using alternative cultivation may positively affect biodiversity. The results point to the conservation potential of diverse cultivation methods in traditional rural China and other regions under social and political reforms, where traditional agriculture is changing to unified, large-scale mechanized agriculture. This study serves as a baseline for conservation in small-holding agricultural areas of China, and points to the necessity of further studies at larger and longer scales.
