Competitividad Comercial del Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) en el Mercado Centroamericano,2008-2013

El cultivo del cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) en Centroamérica se concentra en pequeños y medianos productores que buscan acceder a nichos de mercados de cacao fino, por el cual adquieren mejores precios. El presente trabajo es una investigación no experimental de tipo descriptiva, el cual tiene por objetivo el análisis de la competitividad comercial del cacao, en el periodo 2008-2013 en el mercado centroamericano, destacándose la participación de Nicaragua en la producción de este rubro, comparando la participación de cada país en el comercio centroamericano de cacao, mediante el cálculo de indicadores de competitividad (Balanza comercial relativa y Especialización internacional) en este mercado. La metodología empleada para la realización del estudio fue la recolección de datos estadísticos relacionados a las áreas agrícolas, rendimientos, áreas cosechadas, producción y comercio de cacao en granos extraídos de las bases de datos de CEPAL, FAO, CETREX y SIECA, las que se utilizaron como insumo para elaborar bases de datos que fueron analizadas e interpretadas. Los resultados del estudio indican que Nicaragua posee la mayor área agrícola y obtiene la mayor cantidad de áreas cosechadas de cacao (6124.80 ha) mientras que Guatemala presenta los más altos rendimientos (2,655.87 kg/ha) y la mayor producción (10,808.73 t) de cacao en la región al ser favorecida por sus condiciones medioambientales. Nicaragua es el país más competitivo en el comercio centroamericano de cacao en grano al presentar los más altos indicadores de Balanza comercial relativa (1) y especialización internacional (0.85). Se concluye que Nicaragua aun cuando es superada en volumen de producción por Guatemala, tiene la capacidad de cubrir su demanda interna y exportar un alto excedente de su producción promedio (53%), de las cuales el (38%) están dirigidas al mercado centroamericano, esto demuestra que el país tiene alto grado de competitividad y vocación exportadora.

Contos da Câmara 2 : depoimentos de servidores nos 180 anos do Legislativo

Reúne depoimentos de servidores da Câmara do Deputados sobre os acontecimentos que marcaram a história do parlamento brasileiro a partir da segunda metade do século XX. Coletados pelo Núcleo de História Oral da Câmara durante as comemorações dos 180 anos do Poder Legislativo em 2003, os textos retratam a realidade dos primeiros anos vividos no Planalto Central: a carência de infra-estrutura, a falta de opção de atividades de lazer e o profundo sentimento de saudade da antiga capital da República. Mas também levam a reminiscências de momentos divertidos, curiosidades e reflexões animadas e esperançosas sobre a mudança da capital para Brasília. O ponto alto são as experiências vivenciadas nos prédios do Congresso Nacional, a lembrança dos amigos, dos colegas e, especialmente, dos fatos marcantes, que sublinham as significativas mudanças nas rotinas de trabalho da Instituição para se adequar à modernização e às novas exigências da sociedade, no contexto de acontecimentos políticos que modificaram seguidas vezes o cenário do país.

Keeping Research Data Safe 2 (KRDS2)

Data has always been fundamental to many areas of research but in recent years it has become central to more disciplines and inter-disciplinary projects and grown substantially in scale and complexity. There is increasing awareness of its strategic importance as a resource in addressing modern global challenges and the possibilities being unlocked by rapid technological advances and their application in research (NAS2009). The first Keeping Research Data Safe study funded by JISC made a major contribution to understanding of long-term preservation costs for research data by developing a cost model and identifying cost variables for preserving research data in UK universities (Beagrie et al, 2008). The Keeping Research Data Safe 2 (KRDS2) project has built on this work.
