Ystävä sä lapsien : Lasten virret ja hengelliset laulut suomenkielisissä kokoelmissa 1824-1938 ja niiden vaikutus vuoden 1938 virsikirjaan

Ystävä sä lapsien. Collections of Finnish language children s hymns and spiritual songs from 1824─1938 and their influence on the Hymnal 1938. The Hymnal has been the common song book of Lutheran parishes since the 1500s. In the beginning, the congregations sang the hymns from memory led by the choir or the church musician. The fundamentals of Christian faith are taught through the hymns, both in church and in family devotions. The Hymnal was the only song book of the church in Finland until the end of the 1800s. This study attempts to clarify when and by who were spiritual songs and hymns for children written in Finland. Research materials used were all the books I could find (approximately 200), whose headings were for pupils and young children in the home and school circles. The method of study is historical and analytical. In the first chapter, it is explained that children s literature in Finland differentiated from other literature at the end of the 1700s. Eric Juvelius published a small prayer book in 1781 with the prayer Gud, som hafver barnen kär / Jumala joka Lapsia rakasta. From that, after many Finnish translations, the first verse of the hymn Ystävä sä lapsien took shape. The second chapter considers singing instruction in the folk school from the beginning of the 1860s. Textbooks, including songbooks, were produced for the pupils. Some of the first pioneers in producing these materials were the teachers P.J. Hannikainen, Sofie Lithenius, Mikael Nyberg, Anton Rikström and Aksel Törnudd, as well as Hilja Haahti, Immi Hellén and Alli Nissinen, who were all teachers gifted in writing poetry. Several new spiritual songs appeared in the folk school songbooks. Hymns were sung often, especially in connection with church year celebrations. Children s songs in Christian education are discussed in the third chapter. The Lutheran Evangelical Association of Finland recognized children already in its early song collections. The illustrative teaching methods in the folk school influenced the Sunday school activities and especially the Sunday school hymns. Hymns introduced as exclusively for children and pupils which appear in the Hymnal from 1886 and the supplement to the 1923 Hymnal are explored in the fourth and fifth chapters. The study shows that the renewal of church life at the beginning of the 1900s also resulted in an increase of the number of spiritual songs for children. This is also seen in the diverse choice of songs in the supplementary materials from 1923. The final chapter deals with the School and Childhood section of the 1938 Hymnal. The Hymnal committee did not think that the already well known folk school and Sunday school songs received enough attention in the Hymnal. Those songs were, among others, Kautta tyynen, vienon yön, Oi, katsopa lintua oksalla puun, Olen Luojani pikku varpunen, Rakas Isä taivahan ja Tuolla keinuu pieni pursi. Heikki Klemetti, Ilmari Krohn, Armas Maasalo and Aarni Voipio influenced the opinion that the spiritual songs still were not suitable to be sung in church. Hymns for children and pupils were brought into the same line as the entire Hymnal. The same hymn tunes, which were mainly old ones, were used as common settings for numerous hymn texts. No special type of melody emerged for the children s hymns. It was still notable that hymns for children and pupils were collected at all. In addition, the Hymnal committee marked those verses suggested for singing in both the folk school and Sunday school with an asterisk (*) throughout the entire Hymnal.

Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

The rapid disruption of tropical forests probably imperils global biodiversity more than any other contemporary phenomenon(1-3). With deforestation advancing quickly, protected areas are increasingly becoming final refuges for threatened species and natural ecosystem processes. However, many protected areas in the tropics are themselves vulnerable to human encroachment and other environmental stresses(4-9). As pressures mount, it is vital to know whether existing reserves can sustain their biodiversity. A critical constraint in addressing this question has been that data describing a broad array of biodiversity groups have been unavailable for a sufficiently large and representative sample of reserves. Here we present a uniquely comprehensive data set on changes over the past 20 to 30 years in 31 functional groups of species and 21 potential drivers of environmental change, for 60 protected areas stratified across the world's major tropical regions. Our analysis reveals great variation in reserve `health': about half of all reserves have been effective or performed passably, but the rest are experiencing an erosion of biodiversity that is often alarmingly widespread taxonomically and functionally. Habitat disruption, hunting and forest-product exploitation were the strongest predictors of declining reserve health. Crucially, environmental changes immediately outside reserves seemed nearly as important as those inside in determining their ecological fate, with changes inside reserves strongly mirroring those occurring around them. These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.

Control microbial del picudo negro Cosmopolites sordidus, (Germar, 1824) usando hongos entomopatógenos Beauveria bassiana (Bals vuill) y Metarhizum anisopliae (Metsch sorokin) en el cultivo de plátano

El presente estudio se llevó a cabo desde Julio de 1996 a Marzo de 1997, con el objetivo de determinar el efecto de las aplicaciones de Beauveria bassíana (Bals) vuill y Metarhízíum anisopliae (Metsch) sorokin en diferentes momentos sobre la dinámica poblacional de picudo negro, Cosmopolites sordídus (Germar 1824) dichos hongos fueron aplicados en suspención acuosa y en trampas de pseudotallos de plátano, variedad "Cuerno". Los tratamientos evaluados fueron: 1) aplicación de Beauveria bassiana:. 2) aplicación con Metarhizium anisopliae: 3) Trampas+ aplicación de B. bassiana: 4) trampas+ aplicación de M. anisopliae: 5) Control físico. Eliminación manual de las poblaciones de adultos de picudo capturado por medio de trampas. 6) Testigo. No se realizó ningún tipo de control especial. En los resultados obtenidos se determinó que no hay diferencias estadísticas significativas entra los tratamientos aplicados Al mismo tiempo se determinó que los tratamientos evaluados no redujeron el número de picudo negro y el nivel de daño presente en la plantación. Se logró determinar que la plantación esta siendo afectada por C. Sordidus asociado con nemátodos ; los que debilitan la planta provocando mayor caída de las misma.

La política en Buenos Aires y el liderazgo de Simón Bolívar en tiempos de la construcción estatal sudamericana : la opción bolivariana en el conflicto por la soberanía en la Banda Oriental (1824-1828)

Resumen: El propósito del artículo es analizar el acercamiento diplomático de Buenos Aires con Simón Bolívar para sumar fuerzas en el conflicto con Brasil por la soberanía en la Banda Oriental. Intentaremos mostrar por qué intereses políticos Buenos Aires; fuera dominada por la facción “unitaria” o “federal”, y Bolívar; empeñado en liderar la organización nacional de Colombia, Perú y Bolivia, no formalizaron un acuerdo diplomático/militar en el contexto de la creación de los Estados de Bolivia y Uruguay durante el período de 1824-1828. Procuramos la inteligibilidad, interpretación y explicación de la cuestión mediante el análisis de fuentes de información histórica que reflejan la agenda pública de Buenos Aires, y las prioridades políticas de Bolívar en el espacio temporal que nos ocupa.

Collecção das Leis do Imperio do Brazil de 1824

Parte 1 - Constituição política do Império do Brazil

Os verdadeiros constitucionais, amigos do rei e da nação: áulicos, ideias e soberania na corte fluminense (1824-1826)

Os objetos centrais do presente trabalho foram os áulicos do Primeiro Reinado (1824-1826), em específico, os quatorze Conselheiros de estado e Ministro vigentes no período determinado; seu projeto político e parte da imprensa destinada a veicular suas ideias. Os áulicos constituíram-se nos representantes que gravitavam em torno do imperador Pedro I, procurando dar sustentação e visibilidade a seu governo diante da opinião pública. O trabalho perpassou pela formação do grupo durante as discussões da Assembleia Constituinte de 1823, até o início da reabertura das atividades parlamentares em 1826, que ficou marcado pelo início do enfraquecimento dos áulicos. As principais metas dos áulicos, tanto na Assembleia de 1823, quanto na imprensa, foram a defesa contra os ataques perpetrados pelos partidos rivais ao imperador e a reafirmação de seus postulados políticos, que tinham como ideias basilares a manutenção da ordem pública, a presença uma Monarquia Constitucional com forte poder centralizador e a defesa da soberania legítima de d. Pedro I. Na convivência entre as ideias modernas Constitucionalistas e os fortes preceitos de Antigo Regime, forjou-se a facção áulica. Sob essas perspectivas entre o novo e o antigo, as continuidades e descontinuidades das práticas políticas, buscou-se o fio condutor para entender os princípios que norteavam o projeto político dos áulicos.

A construção da ideia de constituição no Rio de Janeiro e em Buenos Aires: abordagens político-sociais de 1808 a 1824

O presente trabalho apresenta como objetivo analisar, por meio de uma visão comparativa de história, as transformações políticas ocorridas no Rio de Janeiro e em Buenos Aires, a partir de 1808, que modificaram por completo o antigo mundo ibérico, trazendo consigo o processo de emancipação política para as regiões em estudo. Por conseguinte, tais mudanças possibilitaram ainda a elaboração de projetos constitucionais para legitimar tais processos, que culminaram em 1824, com a Constituição Outorgada no Rio de Janeiro, sede do Império do Brasil, e com o Projeto Constitucional de Buenos Aires, que foi a base da constituição argentina anos depois. Na realização desse estudo, priorizaram-se como fontes os projetos constitucionais de 1813 até 1824, além de leis e decretos, que englobam o mesmo período, e de periódicos, tendo como destaque a Gazeta de Buenos Aires. No caso das fontes para o processo constitucional estabelecido no Rio de Janeiro, a ênfase foi dada aos debates da Assembleia de 1823, e seu projeto constitucional, a Constituição de 1824, além de periódicos, como Revérbero Constitucional Fluminense e o Sentinella da Liberdade na Guarita de Pernambuco. Frente às questões político-sociais procurou-se estudar a trajetória política e de vida de dois fundamentais personagens na construção da política nacional das regiões em questão. Mariano Moreno e Antonio Carlos R. Andrada Machado Silva e Araújo que se apresentaram como principais agentes para a discussão constitucional. Por fim, buscou-se compreender que as questões que permitiram a elaboração de uma monarquia constitucional e de uma república para as sociedades em tela, apesar de destoarem frente aos respectivos projetos, mantiveram o status quo em suas sociedades.
