NUEVAS ESTRATEGIAS EN EDUCACIÓN PARA FOMENTAR LA REFORESTACIÓN CON ESPECIES AUTÓCTONAS DEL CENTRO DE LA ARGENTINA

Desde la creación misma de la Universidad Nacional de Villa María, allá por el año 1996, se apuntó a través del proyecto institucional a la base del trabajo interinstitucional y multidisplinar, con el anhelo de realizar en Villa María y su región de influencia un aporte educativo tendiente al desarrollo mancomunado de las ciencias sociales, las ciencias humanas y las ciencias básicas y aplicadas. Este objetivo primario, fue claramente ratificado, al establecer en el artículo 1º del ANEXO I DE LA RESOLUCION Nº 046/2000 DEL CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE LA UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE VILLA MARIA, sobre el “REGLAMENTO DE POLITICAS SOBRE INVESTIGACION Y DESARROLLO TECNOLOGICO”, lo siguiente: ”Este Reglamento establece como finalidad prioritaria de las actividades en ciencia y tecnología de la Universidad Nacional de Villa María y del INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACIÓN en esta primera etapa, realizar aportes concretos para: EL DESARROLLO LOCAL Y SU AMBITO REGIONAL CON EL OBJETIVO DE MEJORAR LA CALIDAD DE VIDA DE SUS HABITANTES Y PROMOVER LA UTILIZACIÓN ÓPTIMA DE SUS RECURSOS Y MEDIO AMBIENTE”. El tema propuesto es de gran importancia para la comunidad en este momento en el cual se visualiza la necesidad de sensibilización y concientización en temáticas relacionadas con la sustentabilidad del ambiente. Contar con tecnologías blandas que nos permitan llevar adelante de forma didáctica instancias de transferencia a la comunidad, nos habilita a profundizar y maximizar los beneficios sociales hacia la sociedad en su conjunto. La preocupación de las instituciones educativas en relación a temáticas ambientales es de nuestro conocimiento ya que son ellas las que demandan a la Universidad este tipo de asesoramientos científicos. Dentro de las problemáticas planteadas se observa que la pérdida de biodiversidad y ausencia de especies de flora nativas en la zona es de gran preocupación social. Creemos que es necesario valorar y preservar la biodiversidad y apoyar a la acción educativa en este sentido. De esta manera, la Universidad Nacional de Villa María, siendo la receptora del proyecto, se compromete a ser el canal de comunicación entre la investigación propiamente dicha y los docentes y profesores de diferentes niveles, apuntando a lograr la mayor divulgación del proyecto en la zona de Villa María. Esto se ve potenciado por el actual trabajo que se realiza desde la Licenciatura en Ambiente y Energías Renovables que ha conformado un Grupo de Educación Ambiental que trabaja en conjunto con diferentes actores sociales de la ciudad. En esta temática en particular se articula con el Vivero Experimental TAKKU (Grupo autoconvocado sin fines de lucro), que posee un proyecto educativo en este sentido. Su aporte en relación al trabajo territorial es de vital importancia para el proyecto.

Análisis de la problemática hídrica de la región central y norte de la provincia de Córdoba, mediante técnicas experimentales y numéricas.

El presente proyecto de investigacion se orienta a estudiar la disponibilidad, evolucion y variabilidad de los recursos hidricos superficiales de la region central y norte de la pcia. de Cordoba (principalmente la cuenca de aporte a la Laguna de Mar Chiquita), incluyendo además de la propia Laguna las cuencas de los ríos Dulce, Suquia y Xanaes. Esta región por ser semiarida tiene escasa disponibilidad hídrica. Esta sometida a una variable oferta natural de agua y a una demanda variada y creciente. El estudio de las variaciones y tendencias tanto de la ofertas como de las demandas por subcuencas es clave para una correcta gestión integrada de los recursos hídricos provinciales. Para el estudio propuesto se aplicarán complementariamente técnicas experimentales de laboratorio, campo y modelos númericos.

The science and technology of corpus, and corpus for science and technology

Corpus Linguistics is a young discipline. The earliest work was done in the 1960s, but corpora only began to be widely used by lexicographers and linguists in the late 1980s, by language teachers in the late 1990s, and by language students only very recently. This course in corpus linguistics was held at the Departamento de Linguistica Aplicada, E.T.S.I. de Minas, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid from June 15-19 1998. About 45 teachers registered for the course. 30% had PhDs in linguistics, 20% in literature, and the rest were doctorandi or qualified English teachers. The course was designed to introduce the use of corpora and other computational resources in teaching and research, with special reference to scientific and technological discourse in English. Each participant had a computer networked with the lecturer’s machine, whose display could be projected onto a large screen. Application programs were loaded onto the central server, and telnet and a web browser were available. COBUILD gave us permission to access the 323 million word Bank of English corpus, Mike Scott allowed us to use his Wordsmith Tools software, and Tim Johns gave us a copy of his MicroConcord program.

Patterns of nutrient exchange in a riverine mangrove forest in the Shark River Estuary, Florida, USA

This study aimed to evaluate tidal and seasonal variations in concentrations and fluxes of nitrogen (NH4 +, NO2+NO3, total nitrogen) and phosphorus (soluble reactive phosphorus, total phosphorus) in a riverine mangrove forest using the flume technique during the dry (May, December 2003) and rainy (October 2003) seasons in the Shark River Estuary, Florida. Tidal water temperatures during the sampling period were on average 29.4 (± 0.4) oC in May and October declining to 20 oC (± 4) in December. Salinity values remained constant in May (28 ± 0.12 PSU), whereas salinity in October and December ranged from 6‒21 PSU and 9‒25 PSU, respectively. Nitrate + nitrite (N+N) and NH4+ concentrations ranged from 0.0 to 3.5 μM and from 0 to 4.8 μM throughout the study period, respectively. Mean TN concentrations in October and December were 39 (±0.8) μM and 37 (±1.5) μM, respectively. SRP and N+N concentrations in the flume increased with higher frequency in flooding tides. TP concentrations ranged between 0.2‒2.9 μM with higher concentrations in the dry season than in the rainy season. Mean concentrations were <1. 5 μM during the sampling period in October (0.75 ± 0.02) and December (0.76 ± 0.01), and were relatively constant in both upstream and downstream locations of the flume. Water residence time in the flume (25 m2) was relatively short for any nutrient exchange to occur between the water column and the forest floor. However, the distinct seasonality in nutrient concentrations in the flume and adjacent tidal creek indicate that the Gulf of Mexico is the main source of SRP and N+N into the mangrove forest.

La Unión Europea y el regionalismo latinoamericano: un balance

El apoyo a la integración y el regionalismo es uno de los rasgos distintivos del diálogo político y cooperación entre la UE y América Latina y el Caribe. Este artículo examina la racionalidad, objetivos e instrumentos de apoyo de la UE al regionalismo y la integración latinoamericana y, en particular, los incentivos generados por los Acuerdos de Asociación y el papel de la cooperación regional y subregional. Aunque han sido instrumentos efectivos, la falta de cohesión interna de los grupos regionales de América Latina y los problemas de coherencia de políticas de la UE han limitado su impacto y efectividad. A partir de las enseñanzas extraidas de esa experiencia, se propone una estrategia ampliada de apoyo para el nuevo ciclo de programación de la cooperación de la UE del periodo 2014-2020.

Effect of reading sport chronicles on the perception of justice and the predisposition to protest actions in soccer

In this study three chronicles from national newspapers (one generalist and two sport press) were analyzed. The chronicles belong to Spain’s soccer final of the King’s Cup in 2014. The aim of the study was to know if there was any influence on the readers’ perception of justice and consequently if this influence could cause a particular predisposition to participate in acts of protest. 462 university students participated. The results showed that different chronicles caused differences in the perception of justice depending on the chronicle read. However, a clear influence on the willingness to participate in acts of protest was not obtained. These results should make us think about the impact of sport press and its influence, and to be aware of the indirect responsibility of every sector on the antisocial behaviors generated by soccer in our country.
