Efectos de Territorio y Estrategias Familiares de Reproducción Social. El caso del Barrio Las playas de la ciudad de Villa María - Córdoba. Effects of Land and family strategies of social reproduction. The case of the neighborhood ´Las Playas´ in the city of Villa María - Córdoba.

Nuestro proyecto plantea analizar los recursos materiales y simbólicos que ponen en juego las familias pobres, en el marco de su reproducción social, a fin de evaluar en qué medida sus estrategias contribuyen a superar o reproducir las condiciones de pobreza hipotetizando que las prácticas sociales de las agentes en situación de pobreza, incluyen limitaciones conformadas por la estructura patrimonial disponible, como potencialidades inscriptas en la trayectoria colectiva y el estado de los instrumentos de reproducción del barrio, considerado como parte del sistema de estrategias de reproducción de sus unidades domésticas. En ese sentido la comprensión de las estrategias materiales y simbólicas que ponen en juego las familias pobres, nos ofrecerá una comprensión acabada de la problemática en cuestión a los efectos de lograr una incidencia mayor a la hora de la implementación de políticas públicas destinadas a este grupo poblacional, y grupos poblacionales similares. La inteligibilidad de este escenario social, puede ser aprehendida fundamentalmente, desde las posibilidades abiertas por las herramientas de tipo cualitativas, sin embargo la metodología utilizada en este proyecto de investigación considera la triangulación de inter-metodológica como recurso fundamental a fin de dar cuenta tanto de la dimensión explicativa como comprensiva de los problemas sociales a estudiar. La muestra es teórica intencional, sus alcances se definen por criterio de saturación teórica. Unidades de recolección: unidades familiares en situación de pobreza que viven en el barrio Las Playas, instituciones formales y no formales que conforman los instrumentos de reproducción social. En el trabajo de campo se profundizarán las estrategias de: 1- Observación a partir de la construcción de guías para la mayor precisión de un registro de tipo etnográfico; 2- Entrevistas semi-estructuradas y abiertas a diferentes familias del barrio seleccionadas a partir de la técnica denominada "Bola de Nieve" la cual provee un alcance exhaustivo en el territorio determinado; 3- Entrevista a informantes clave relacionados con ONGs e Instituciones Estatales actuantes en el barrio, referentes barriales y sindicales, punteros políticos, etc. Los datos obtenidos en el trabajo de campo deben relevar información que garantice el registro de las diversas miradas de los participantes y controlar la diferenciación entre los datos originales y las propias interpretaciones (Mendizábal, 2006). por lo cual la triangulación inter-metodológica, posibilitará articular reflexivamente los resultados cuantitavos y cualitativos. Se prevé la transferencia de resultados a través de publicaciones individuales o colectivas sobre los resultados obtenidos así como la presentación preliminar de los mismos en congresos y conferencias. Asimismo, se organizarán seminarios con los sectores de la sociedad civil que se trabaje en los que se espera discutir los resultados obtenidos.

Does the provision of full day care improve the quality of life for children and their parents

This study sought to explore and examine if the provision of full day care improves the quality of life for children and their parents. Owing to the effects of the Celtic Tiger, life in Ireland has changed considerably over the past five to ten years. Because of the booming economy there are now 60.8% of women employed in the workforce. This means many changes for children, parents and families. Findings in the literature review are based on international studies. The researcher utilised both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies for the study. She interviewed 31 respondents; 27 childcare managers; 3 politicians and the chairperson of a childcare committee. Furthermore, 325 questionnaires were completed in a survey by working parents in the statutory and voluntary sectors in and around Sligo town and in two childcare facilities in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. Babies as young as 4 months are being cared for in childcare facilities from 6.45am until 6.pm daily, 5 days per week. Some children are spending up to 11 hours per day in childcare facilities. The study has not categorically concluded that full day care is either positive or negative for children. Childcare facilities are providing good quality childcare encompassing various services; however, 25 out of 27 childcare managers reported to the researcher that they would not leave their child in full day care. Parents are finding it difficult to manage work life balance. Health dominated quality of life issues. Two hundred and thirty five (235) parents reported being stressed. The study also found that 315 working parents feel that the government is not doing enough to support working parents. On a positive note, 241 parents said they are happy in general with the quality of life for them, their family and their children. In addition, the researcher has identified a number of recommendations for future changes in policy and further study.

Fertilizer policy in the developing countries: the case of Brazil

This paper deals initially with the role of mineral fertilizers in increasing agricultural production: the relationship between the two variables is illustrated within global, regional national and local contexts. The pattern and trends in fertilizer usage in Brazil are presented next, namely: increase in consumption in the period 1950/72; regional distribution; consumption as related to crops and cultivated land. It is shown that in less than a quarter or century fertilizer use has increased in the country nearly 12 fold, whereas world consumption was raised 7 fold, thus exceeding estimates based in several criteria. Steps taken to secure the raise in fertilizer consumption above the historical trend are discussed: research experience for outlining fertilization recomendations; the transfer of the knowledge to the farmer by the extension work both official and private; the credit policy and special incentives for the purchase of fertilizer; the national policy for minumum proces of agricultural products; the implantation of a national fertilizer industry. It is considered that the Brazilian experience adapted to similar local conditions in other developing countries, presents a possibility for achieving beneficial results without inflationary reflexes in the economy.
