Estudio de la composicion floristica y sanidad forestal de la arboleda del sector sur del campus principal de la Universidad Nacional Agraria, Managua

Con el objetivo de generar información sobre la composición florística y sobre los factores que inciden en la arboleda de la zona sur del campus principal de la Universidad Nacional Agraria, se realizó la presente investigación durante el periodo comprendido entre los meses de Agosto 2007 a Septiembre 2008. La técnica básica de toma de datos fue la inspección ocular directa del 100 % de los árboles existentes en la zona de estudio. Se pudo determinar que la arboleda del sector sur de la UNA esta constituida por un total de 761 árboles organizados en 39 especies y agrupados en 23 familias botánicas, siendo la familia mas representativa la Mimosáceas con un total de cinco especies, la especie de árbol mas abundante fue Azaridachta indica(árbol de Nim) con 271 individuos, lo que representa el 36,6 % de toda la arboleda. A nivel de la incidencia de factores bióticos sobre la arboleda se detectó la incidencia de una especie de planta parasita identificada como Struthanthus sp el cual es catalogado como un muérdago verdadero, esta planta se encontró parasitando 15 especies de árboles con una incidencia de 6 %, lo que significa 44 árboles infestados de toda la arboleda, el árbol con mayor numero de individuos afectados fue Terminalia catappa (almendro) con 9 de 20 individuos infestados. A nivel de microorganismos fue posible observas la incidencia de cuatro tipos de hongos asociados a Pestalotia sp, Colletotrichum sp, Cryphonectria cubensis y un tipo roya, así como la incidencia de bacterias fitopatógenas en cuatro especies de árboles. A nivel de insectos se encontraron 7 géneros pertenecientes a los órdenes: Coleóptera, Psocoptera, Homóptera, Thysanoptera, Isóptera e Hymenoptera, las especies lo mas relevantes fueron Nasutitermes sp y Atta cephalotes. También fue posible determinar la incidencia de dos especies de plantas epifitas Monstrera deliciosa e Hylocereus undatus(Pitahaya) y la ocurrencia de factores físicos de daño provocados por inscrustamientos de malla en tallos y podas inadecuadas. Los resultados encontrados en el estudio indican la urgencia de diseñar un plan de manejo silvicultural de la arboleda que contribuya a su mejor cuido y asegure su conservación

Perfil emprendedor del alumnado universitario del Campus de Gipuzkoa de la UPV/EHU

El emprendizaje y la creación de empresas son considerados factores estratégicos en relación con los niveles de innovación, competitividad, crecimiento económico o de creación de empleo en un país. En un contexto general de impulso a las acciones emprendedoras, desde prácticamente todos los ámbitos de la Administración Pública, la Universidad puede desempeñar un importante papel de fomento del espíritu emprendedor de su alumnado; si bien, esta función se vería facilitada en caso de disponer de un buen diagnóstico del inicial perfil emprendedor de dicho alumnado. Con el propósito de contribuir a ese adecuado diagnóstico, un grupo de docentes universitarios estamos llevando a cabo un trabajo de investigación orientado a conocer en profundidad los rasgos y circunstancias que presenta el perfil emprendedor del alumnado que cursa titulaciones en el ámbito de la dirección y organización de empresas, en el Campus de Gipuzkoa de la UPV/EHU. Para ello, nos apoyamos especialmente en tres enfoques teóricos: el enfoque psicológico, el enfoque sociocultural o institucional y los análisis teóricos de las intenciones, por considerar que son los que aportan una mayor capacidad explicativa en materia de emprendizaje y creación de empresas. Este artículo recoge los resultados obtenidos en la fase cuantitativa de la investigación y que, por tanto, permiten describir las actitudes emprendedoras y las intenciones de creación de empresas que presenta la población objeto de estudio, así como aportar una primera explicación a esta realidad observada.

Desigualdades sociais nas concepções dos professores e estudantes do PROEJA no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Sertão Pernambucano - Campus Petrolina-PE

Este trabalho apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa realizada no IFSERTÃO - Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Sertão Pernambucano a respeito das desigualdades sociais nas concepções dos professores e estudantes do PROEJA. Teve como objetivo analisar e compreender os sentidos produzidos pelos sujeitos da pesquisa sobre as desigualdades sociais e suas perspectivas de superação, considerando seu histórico e seus aspectos atuais. Foi organizado epistemologicamente numa abordagem de pesquisa qualitativa a partir do ponto de vista metodológico do estudo de caso do tipo descritivo e analítico com entrevistas e análise do documento Base do Programa institucionalizado pelo MEC, buscando identificar as aproximações ou distanciamentos entre as concepções dos entrevistados com a proposta do material institucional no que diz respeito às perspectivas de superação das desigualdades no contexto da EJA. O problema da pesquisa foi formulado mediante o seguinte questionamento: Como as desigualdades sociais se apresentam nas concepções dos professores e estudantes do programa e quais suas perspectivas de superação? Para estudo do problema, procedeu-se à imersão no campo empírico da pesquisa com abordagens e utilização de um roteiro de entrevistas previamente formulado, incluiu-se a leitura flutuante do material coletado e as vozes dos entrevistados foram gravadas, transcritas, lidas e analisadas, buscando a captação do sentido atribuído pelos sujeitos a respeito das desigualdades sociais. Mediante essa trajetória, identificou-se, nas concepções dos sujeitos da pesquisa, que o trabalho se apresenta como centralidade no que se refere às manifestações das desigualdades sociais no contexto da EJA/PROEJA, bem como suas diferentes feições na lógica do sistema capitalista no que se refere a educar para a empregabilidade atendendo às exigências do capital. Assim, considerando que, historicamente, a EJA é uma modalidade de ensino que vem sendo ofertada para sujeitos que tiveram seus percursos escolares interrompidos pela condição de trabalhadores, esse tema se configura como estudo de grande relevância no contexto das políticas de Educação de Jovens e Adultos trabalhadores.

Pt. 12. Contributions to the ecology of the larvae of some Odonata from Ceylon

The Austrian-Ceylonese hydrobiological mission studied 38 biotopes; 28 of which contain Odonata. From the Zygoptera the Calopterydoidea seem to be the dominant form (22 habitats), while the Coenagrionoidea are scarcer (11 habitats). The most frequent species was Euphaea splendens (Epallagidae - 16 habitats) followed by Vestolis apicalis nigrescens (Calopterygidae, 8 habitats) and Neurobasis chinensis (Calopterygidae, 6 habitats). From the Anisoptera Zygonyx ceylanica (Libellulidae: Zygonictinae) was the dominant form (8 habitats), but some Libellulinae remain undescribed. The number of species varied greatly between different biotopes. The biotopes containing Odonata are small brooks, in which the pH was mostly on the limit between acid and alkaline reaction. They are fast running waters, situated in most cases on lower or middle elevations, only three species being found in higher elevations (1800-2000 m). Adaptations to fast currents and other factors are described.

Novel information sharing syntax for data sharing between police and community partners, using role-based security.

The exchange of information between the police and community partners forms a central aspect of effective community service provision. In the context of policing, a robust and timely communications mechanism is required between police agencies and community partner domains, including: Primary healthcare (such as a Family Physician or a General Practitioner); Secondary healthcare (such as hospitals); Social Services; Education; and Fire and Rescue services. Investigations into high-profile cases such as the Victoria Climbié murder in 2000, the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002, and, more recently, the death of baby Peter Connelly through child abuse in 2007, highlight the requirement for a robust information-sharing framework. This paper presents a novel syntax that supports information-sharing requests, within strict data-sharing policy definitions. Such requests may form the basis for any information-sharing agreement that can exist between the police and their community partners. It defines a role-based architecture, with partner domains, with a syntax for the effective and efficient information sharing, using SPoC (Single Point-of-Contact) agents to control in-formation exchange. The application of policy definitions using rules within these SPoCs is inspired by network firewall rules and thus define information exchange permissions. These rules can be imple-mented by software filtering agents that act as information gateways between partner domains. Roles are exposed from each domain to give the rights to exchange information as defined within the policy definition. This work involves collaboration with the Scottish Police, as part of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR), and aims to improve the safety of individuals by reducing risks to the community using enhanced information-sharing mechanisms.
