Changing face of property students : an analysis of UWS property students from 1994 to 2003

Property is an evolving industry and the participants within the industry are also changing. This change is due to improved technology and construction, global nature of business today, professional standards, legal and accounting issues and environmental matters. Throughout this change in the property industry, there has also been significant change in the structure and content of tertiary property courses in Australia. Over the past ten years each first year cohort commencing study in the property program at the University of Western Sydney have been surveyed in relation to their background, reasons for course selection and job expectations. This paper will review the annual survey and the profile of all first year students who commenced their studies in the Bachelor of Business (Property Economics) degree [formerly Bachelor of Commerce (Property Economics) and Bachelor of Commerce (Land Economy)] for years commencing 1994 to 2003.

¿Feminismo indígena? : Un análisis crítico del discurso sobre los textos de la mujer en el movimiento zapatista 1994-2009

This work analyses texts on indigenous women´s participation in the Mexican Zapatista Army, Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional. The EZLN came to public attention after ten years of clandestine organization in 1994 in Chiapas, a southern state of Mexico neighboring Guatemala. Along the invasion of various municipalities in Chiapas, the Zapatista Army published their own Revolutionary Laws, directed to the Mexican government that included a section on women´s own laws. The indigenous women´s participation in a guerrilla movement in the economically poorest area of Mexico raised many questions among Mexican feminists and some of them fiercely criticized the laws for not being liberating or feminist at all. The question is, did the indigenous women want the laws to be feminist? To answer the main research question How is the position of women constructed in the Zapatista discourse? I analyze texts by various actors in the discourse within the theoretical framework of critical discourse analysis and the feminist theories of intersectionality. The connecting point in this interdisciplinary framework is the question of power and hegemony. The actors in the discourse are the women commanders themselves, the men commanders, the Zapatista spokesperson, subcomandante Marcos and the Mexican feminists. The texts analyzed are the letters of the EZLN to the media and discourses in public reunions, first published in Mexican newspapers and international discussion lists on the Internet and after 2005, on the Zapatista´s own webpage. The results show that instead of discussing whether the Zapatista women´s participation is feminist or not, the action itself provoked such wide discussion of the diversity within the feminist movement that it is a contribution itself. The work also shows that the use of language can be one tool in the quite recent paradigm of intersectionality in feminist theories.

Evaluación de cinco variedades de soya (Glycine max (L) merrill) en dos fechas de siembra en el CEO, Posoltega, Chinandega, postrera, 2004

Con el objetivo de aportar información agronómica sobre el cultivo de Soya (Glycine max [L.] Merril) se evaluaron en el Centro Experimental de Occidente (CEO-INTA), Posoltega, Chinandega, los genotipos 1088SC, 1088SCB, CB-3296, INTA-Taiwán-S-2036, y CH-86 en dos fechas de siembra (28 de julio y 16 de agosto, 2004). Los tres primeros genotipos provienen de Guatemala y los otros nacionales, El diseño experimental utilizado fue un Bloque Completos al Azar (BCA) con tres réplicas. Asimismo, se utilizó separación de medias de rangos múltiples de Tukey (∞=0.05) y se consideraron las variables altura de planta, inserción a la primera vaina, número de vainas, peso de cien granos y rendimiento, principalmente. En base a los resultados obtenidos se concluye que las variables evaluadas mostraron significación estadística en los genotipos en los dos momentos de evaluación. Por otro lado, los mejores rendimientos los alcanzó el genotipo CB-3296 en las fechas antes mencionadas con rendimientos superiores a los 3200 kg ha-1. Los menores valores promedios de rendimiento lo obtuvieron los genotipos 1088SC y CE A-CH-86 con rendimientos inferiores a los 1500 kg ha-1. El análisis cluster determinó tres grandes núcleos con características genéticas similares: un núcleo conformado por 1088CB y CEA-CH-86, un segundo grupo integrado por Inta Taiwán S-2036 y CB-3296; y el genotipo 1088SC que conformó el tercer núcleo.
