The Devil and Views on the “Other” in Part One of Pedro Cieza de León’s "Crónica del Perú" (1553)

Many 16th century Spanish chroniclers and missionaries, arriving at what they interpreted as a New World, saw the Devil as a “hermeneutic wildcard” that allowed them to comprehend indigenous religions. Pedro Cieza de León, a soldier in the conquest of Peru, is a case in point. Cieza considers the Devil responsible for the most aberrant religious practices and customs of the Indians, although he views the natives in a positive light, as men susceptible to divine salvation. From a providentialist perspective of the history of the conquest, Cieza interprets that the evangelization and conversion of the Indians and the implantation of Christian civilization by the Spanish Crown, were able to defeat the Devil.

3D reconfigurable autopilot flight system for both general aviation and unmanned aerial systems

This research project investigated and designed a modular architecture for a 3D Reconfigurable Autopilot Flight System that could be used to control actuators in both manned and unmanned aircraft. The system is based on a CAN Bus interface and allows seamless control of different types of actuators. During the course of the research the differences and similarities of autopilots for fixed-wing general aviation aircraft and unmanned aircraft were analysed focusing on the actuator interfaces. This project suggests that software and hardware used in commercial-of-the-shelf avionics could be used in manned and unmanned aviation.

The conservation status of the world’s reptiles

Effective and targeted conservation action requires detailed information about species, their distribution, systematics and ecology as well as the distribution of threat processes which affect them. Knowledge of reptilian diversity remains surprisingly disparate, and innovative means of gaining rapid insight into the status of reptiles are needed in order to highlight urgent conservation cases and inform environmental policy with appropriate biodiversity information in a timely manner. We present the first ever global analysis of extinction risk in reptiles, based on a random representative sample of 1500 species (16% of all currently known species). To our knowledge, our results provide the first analysis of the global conservation status and distribution patterns of reptiles and the threats affecting them, highlighting conservation priorities and knowledge gaps which need to be addressed urgently to ensure the continued survival of the world’s reptiles. Nearly one in five reptilian species are threatened with extinction, with another one in five species classed as Data Deficient. The proportion of threatened reptile species is highest in freshwater environments, tropical regions and on oceanic islands, while data deficiency was highest in tropical areas, such as Central Africa and Southeast Asia, and among fossorial reptiles. Our results emphasise the need for research attention to be focussed on tropical areas which are experiencing the most dramatic rates of habitat loss, on fossorial reptiles for which there is a chronic lack of data, and on certain taxa such as snakes for which extinction risk may currently be underestimated due to lack of population information. Conservation actions specifically need to mitigate the effects of human-induced habitat loss and harvesting, which are the predominant threats to reptiles.

Chronik der Familie Herz Salomon Fuld 1806-1944

History of the Frankfurt Fuld family, reaching back to the author's grandfather, Herz Salomon Fuld. Contains description of the antique business of Benjamin's uncle Selig Goldschmidt.

Aaron Lopez papers, undated, 1752-1794, 1846, 1852, 1953.

Contains approximately 6800 manuscripts arranged chronologically by year for years 1752-1794. Approximately 100 are letters received or written by Lopez, his partner and father-in-law, Jacob Rodriguez Rivera, members of his family and company, and commercial agents pertaining to business activities and sailing orders for the captains of various ships. Several also refer to personal matters and acquaintances, including a series of six letters from Silas Cooke of White Hall (Middletown), R.I., to Aaron Lopez, asking his aid in returning a run-away slave (1776). The great majority of the collection consists of account records, bills of sale, orders, shipping agreements, lists of sailors on the various ships, repair records and cargo invoices. Of particular interest are a receipt for payment of a half-year's subscription to the "tzedakah" of Congregation Nefutzei Israel, Newport (1755) and several documents that reveal Lopez as a supplier of kosher meat and other religious articles to people in various parts of the colonies, Surinam, and Jamaica. Also included in this group are copies of sailing lists, documents pertaining to Lopez's naturalization which shed light upon the status of a Jew applying for citizenship in Massachusetts and a check to Lopez from the United States government for a loan made during the Revolutionary War (1779).

Caracterización de sistemas de producción ganadera en las Comarcas de Copalar y San Pedro del Norte, Municipio de Bocanas de Paiwás, Zelaya Central

El presente trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de contribuir al desarrollo ganadero del micro región por medio de la caracterización de las actividades ganaderas de las Comarcas de Copalar y San Pedro del norte. El estudio se llevó a cabo en dos fases: Una fase preliminar de “diagnóstico, en la que se determinó, la disponibilidad y uso actual de los recursos en las fincas, tecnologías y características generales de los canales de comercialización y precios de los productos pecuarios generados por la actividad ganadera de las Comarcas. La segunda fase comprendió el procesamiento y computación de la información. La información relativa a los recursos pecuarios se procesó para cada uno de los eslabones de la cadena y en base a ello se estimaron los diferentes parámetros técnicos, productivos, reproductivos y elementos fuentes de ingresos y egresos determinándose así la rentabilidad de cada uno de los eslabones de la cadena. En los aspectos técnicos se determinó que la actividad de las fincas es la ganadería; ya que en promedio, el 92% de las áreas totales se destinan a esta actividad; existiendo solamente pastos naturales. Las cargas animales encontradas fluctuaron en un rango de 0.24 u.a/mz a 0.49 u.a/mz, siendo inferiores a las disponibilidades de pastos ; resultando las disponibilidades positivas. Las especies de pastos encontrados en mayor proporción en estas fincas son Asia (Panicum maximum) y Retana (Ischaemun indicum). En cuanto al manejo de potreros; encontramos que presentan un área promedio por potrero entre 27-29 mz. y realizan rotación de potreros cada 15-30 días. En relación al control de maleza se realizan chapeas más rondas dos veces al año y quemas cada dos, tres años.
