Una interpretación de la hoguera bárbara: Quito, 28 de enero de 1912 (Debates)

Abonando las explicaciones e interpretaciones de la “hoguera bárbara”, particularmente a lo que pudo desencadenar la caída de Alfaro y el fin de su proyecto político, se propone indagar en las tres dimensiones del tiempo histórico: tiempo corto, coyuntura o tiempo medio y larga duración, para desentrañar algunas claves del proceso.

La agenda de los gobiernos liberales-radicales respecto a la instrucción pública, especialmente de las mujeres (1895-1912)

Esta tesis se refiere a la agenda pública de los gobiernos liberales radicales (1895-1912) respecto a la instrucción pública primaria en general y de las mujeres, en particular; así como la gestión efectiva que respecto a ese ramo logró ejecutarse. Este examen se realiza desde la subdisciplina de la Historia del Estado como institución, de donde se obtuvieron los instrumentos conceptuales para conocer cómo funcionó la maquinaria estatal, sus dirigentes políticos y cuadros burocráticos, durante la época de referencia. El examen se realiza usando como fuentes primarias las normas referidas a educación emitidas entre 1895 y 1912, “los Diarios de Debate” de los Congresos, los “Informes Presidenciales” y los “Informes de Ministros”.

La agenda educativa en el período liberal-radical 1895-1912

Este libro estudia la agenda educativa del liberalismo-radical que gobernó el Ecuador entre 1895 y 1912, luego de la Revolución liberal. Procura responder algunos interrogantes en torno a los temas de educación en la agenda pública de los dirigentes políticos de esa tendencia, al tiempo que busca desvelar lo que lograron ejecutar y aquello que quedó como asignatura pendiente. Su propósito también es revisar si dicha agenda constituyó una ruptura con lo que hasta ese momento se había realizado en cuanto a instrucción pública primaria, en general, y de las mujeres, en particular, o si continuó con la lógica de los gobiernos anteriores respecto al fortalecimiento del Estado y la ampliación de su control hacia periferias que aún se encontraban fuera de su poder en el período analizado. La autora, mediante el análisis de los documentos de la época, demuestra que el proyecto de instrucción pública laica y gratuita del liberalismo-radical tuvo demoras y dificultades para concretarse en el caso de los varones, y no llegó a ejecutarse en lo que se refiere a la formación de las niñas, pese a los esfuerzos que en ello empeñaron.

Observations on the feeding habits of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva, 1912) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) in Campo Grande, an endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Sand flies were captured weekly with CDC light traps from December 2003 to November 2005 in three areas of Campo Grande, in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. These areas incorporated two patches of remnant forest and five houses. The blood meals of engorged female sand flies were identified using the avidin-biotin system of immunoenzymatic ELISA capture. Most (327/355) of the females analysed were Lutzomyia longipalpis, of which 66.4% reacted with human blood, 64.8% with that of birds and 8.9% with that of dogs. Females that had taken human blood predominated in the residential areas and two forest patches. The following combinations of blood were also detected for L. longipalpis in some of the samples analysed: bird + human (43.4%), bird + human + dog (6.1%). The combination bird + human + dog + pig was also found for Nyssomyia whitmani. Dogs and pigs appear to have little attractiveness for L. longipalpis. The results obtained demonstrate the eclecticism and high anthropophily of L. longipalpis and raise new questions with regard to the importance of dogs in VL epidemiology and the possible role of man as a source of infection for sand flies.

Seasonal variation of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & neiva, 1912) (Diptera : Psychodidae : Phlebotominae) in endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis, Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

The seasonal distribution of Lutzomyia longipalpis was studied in two forested and five domiciliary areas of the urban area of Campo Grande; MS, from December 2003 to November 2005. Weekly captures were carried out with CDC light traps positioned on ground and in the canopy inside a residual forest and on the edge (ground) of a woodland and in at least one of the following ecotopes in peridomiciles-a cultivated area, a chicken coop, a pigsty, a kennel, a goat and sheep shelter and an intradomicile. A total of 9519 sand flies were collected, 2666 during the first year and 6853 during the second. L. longipalpis was found throughout the 2-year period, presenting smaller peaks at intervals of 2-3 months and two greater peaks, the first in February and the second in April 2005, soon after periods of heavy rain. Only In one of the woodlands was a significant negative correlation (p < 0.05) between the number of insects and temperature during the first year and the climatic factors (temperature, RHA and rain) was observed. In the domiciliary areas in four domiciles some positive correlations (p < 0.05) occurred in relation to one or more climatic factors; however, the species shows a clear tendency to greater frequency (72%) in the rainy season than in the dry (28%). Thus, we recommend an intensification of the VL control measures applied in Campo Grande, MS, during the rainy season with a view to reducing the risk of the transmission of the disease.

Den hvita stadens tjänare : En studie över fackligt arbete och arbetsvilkor bland mentalskötare vid Säters sjukhus åren 1912 till 1952

källor: fackliga protokoll från 1912 till 1952, årsberättelser från 1927 till 1952.Metod: en kvalitativ textläsningSyfte: att undersöka skötarnas arbetssituation, med särskilt hänsyn till kvinnornas situation på Säters sjukhus åren 1912 till 1952 utifrån ett fackligt perspektiv.Frågeställninigar: Hur arbetade och organiserade sig personalen i den fackliga organisationen för bättre arbetsvillkor på Säters sjukhus. Vilka övergripande förändringar skedde för personalen på Säters sjukhus med avseende på arbetsmiljö och utbildning, speciellt med avseende på genus. Hur gestaltade sig kvinnornas fackliga arbete och villkor på Säters sjukhus jämfört med männens.Resultat: Det skedde tydliga förändringar i fackföreningens medlemsantal under perioden, föreningens viktigaste arbete var kampen för 48 timmars arbetsvecka. Under periodens senare del tillkom arbetarskyddslagstiftning som innebar en förbättring i arbetsmiljön. Lön och utbildning var andra frågor för fackföreningen, särskilt under 1940-talet förbättrades kvinnornas utbildningsmöjligheter. Sjukhuset var starkt uppdelat i en manlig och en kvinnlig del, där fackföreningen var en övervägande manlig aktivitet.

Vikten av arbete : Patienternas arbete och dess betydelse på Säters hospital 1912-1942

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka arten av och betydelsen av patientarbetet på Säters hospital mellan perioden 1912-1942.Det använda källmaterialet är årsberättelser, ekonomiska översikter, utgående skrivelser, skrivelser från Medicinalstyrelsen, protokoll och bilagor samt personalrullar från perioden mellan 1912-1942. Utifrån detta material så har arbetets omfattning sammanställs och även har innehållet av arbetet undersökts. Arbetets omfattning och innehåll har undersökts ur ett könsperspektiv. Betydelsen av arbetet har undersökts utifrån två perspektiv, det terapeutiska samt den ekonomiska betydelsen. När det gäller den ekonomiska betydelsen har man utgått från den enskilda patienten men även hospitalet. Resultaten visar, att när det gäller arbetets omfattning ökade antalet arbetstimmar radikalt efter 1930-talet eftersom arbetsterapin blev en mer accepterad form av terapi. När det gäller antalet arbetstimmar mellan könen var männen dominerande. Arbetets innehåll var fördelat efter kön samt efter vilken avdelning man var inlagd på. Det som styrde fördelningen av arbetet mellan könen var de traditionella uppfattningarna om könsrollerna. Den terapeutiska betydelsen var av mer betydelse för patienterna än den ekonomiska, medan den ekonomiska betydelsen var starkare för hospitalet.

Tatler (Volume 10 1912)

The Winthrop yearbook was published from 1898 to 2002. It has been known as the Tatler since its inception except for 1904 (Lang Syne) and 1918 (Tatler a la Guerre). No yearbook was published in 1900, 1902, 1903, 1905,1906.

Efeito da densidade de ninfas de Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera, Aphididae) no consumo alimentar e aspectos biológicos de Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera, Anthocoridae)

Orius insidiosus (SAY, 1832) is an important predator for biological pest control programs. The objective of this work was to evaluate the functional response, predation capacity and reproductive aspects of O. insidiosus when predating 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 third/fourth instar nymphs of Aphis gossypii. The tests were conducted under laboratory conditions. Females of the predator were individually maintained in Petri dishes with a cotton leaf at each one of the aphid densities. The average rate of predation was of 0.93 [plus or minus] 0.13, 3.58 [plus or minus] 0.80, 7.31 [plus or minus] 1.45, 7.40 [plus or minus] 1.16, and 10.54 [plus or minus] 1.84 at the densities of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 aphids, respectively. The results showed an attack rate of 0.10 h-1 and 1.82 h of manipulation time. The predator spent 3.10 to 4.08 h feeding on leaf cotton glands; this behavior was not directly influenced by the prey density. The proportion of egg laying per female grew up to the density of 10 nymphs whereas the number of eggs per laying increased with the number of available preys.

Efeito de cultivares de algodoeiro sobre a biologia e capacidade predatória de Orius Insidiosus (say, 1832) (hemiptera: anthocoridae) predando Aphis Gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

The objective of this research was to determine the survival, reproduction and predaceous capacity of Orius insidiosus on cotton aphid Aphis gossypii. Cotton plants of Antares, CNPA7H and Acala 90 cultivars (respectively, without tricome, medium tricome density and high tricome density) were individualized and infested with 15 third/fourth instar nymphs of A. gossypii, and then first-instar nymphs of O. insidiosus were released on the plants. The evaluations were made daily, quantifying survival and nymphal development; the number of cotton aphids A. gossypii per day and total; the number of eggs and the population of the predator (number of insects by female); and the conversion efficiency of A. gossypii predaceous. The nymphal development did not differ according to the cotton cultivars. The Antares cultivar favored a higher daily predation rate for the 1st, 2nd and 4th instars and adults of O. insidiosus. The number of eggs and nymphs was smaller when O. insidiosus females were confined on the Acala 90 cultivar. According to the predation rate of O. insidiosus, the efficiency of alimentary conversion was determined for the Antares, CNPA7H and Acala 90 cultivars, being respectively, 4.28, 3.00 and 2.75 cotton aphid predation for each egg of the predator.

Tabelas de vida de Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) predando Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) em diferentes cultivares de algodoeiro

The life table parameters were studied for Orius insidiosus on the three cotton plant cultivars Antares, CNPA7H and Acala 90 (respectively, without tricome, medium tricome density and high tricome density). This study showed that the type of cultivar can strongly influence the life-table parameters. The intrinsic rate (rm) was 0.088 (on Antares), 0.081 (CNPA7H) and 0.079 (on Acala 90), which was expected as these differences were also observed for development time, survival, fecundity and longevity on the cultivars. The reproductive rate (Ro) was 18.53 on the Antares cultivar, but showed less difference for CNPA7H (12.26) and Acala 90 (12.95). The development time was 33.9, 30.62 and 32.13 days for Antares, CNPA7H and Acala 90, respectively. The age-specific survival was similar until the 12th day. Maximum survival was 60 days on the Antares cultivar. Females usually began to oviposit after 16 days on the Antares cultivar and the after 19 days day on CNPA7H and Acala 90.

A construção da ponte metálica sobre o Rio Pontengi: aspectos históricos, construtivos e de durabilidade - Natal/RN, Brasil (1912-1916) - estudo de caso

It is a case study that reports the construction of metal truss bridge in the river Potengi in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, between the years 1912 and 1916. From testimonials on steel bridges in Brazil and worldwide including foundations. Documentary research from procurement of projects and contracts was performed. A chronology of construction, with a description of the equipment used and its original budget with the Brazilian government. Still, we used interviews and surveys with experimental sampling / testimonies, laboratory tests. This study aims to analyze historically and technically the Bridge over the River Potengi, emphasizing primarily the construction process, the qualities and characteristics of the materials used and the technological, chemical, mineralogical and microstructural properties of cement and concrete used in its construction. Taking as conclusions that cements pozolônicos ensured a good durability to the concrete in a hundred-year period and that the solution employed with the compressed air caissons was right

Resistência a compressão de tijolos de solo-cimento fabricados com o montículo do cupim Cornitermes cumulans (Kollar, 1832)

Objetivou-se neste trabalho, comparar a resistência à compressão de tijolos de solo-cimento fabricados com o montículo do cupim Cornitermes cumulans (Kollar, 1832), com tijolos que utilizaram como matéria prima um NEOSSOLO QUARTZARÊNICO (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA), 1999), ambos submetidos a duas idades de cura (07 ou 28 dias). O experimento foi montado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 2x2, sendo analisados dois cofatores: a matéria prima base e a idade de cura. Os ensaios físicos e mecânicos obedeceram às prescrições das normas da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas NBR-8492 (ABNT, 1982) e NBR-8491 (ABNT, 1984). Concluiu-se que a resistência à compressão dos tijolos foi maior com o aumento das idades de cura. O tratamento T4 apresentou maior valor de resistência à compressão, não diferindo estatisticamente dos tratamentos T2 e T1. Os tijolos fabricados com o montículo do cupim C. cumulans (Kollar, 1832) apresentaram diminuição da absorção de água com o aumento das idades de cura, o que normalmente corresponde a um maior aumento da resistência à compressão, ao contrário dos que utilizaram o NEOSSOLO QUARTZARÊNICO (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA), 1999).
