La reforma de los agregados monetarios en España, 1973-1992

Las dudas que aún se mantienen en pie tras varias décadas de debate teórico, los menores niveles de inflación existentes en la actualidad, las dificultades financieras planteadas por la persistencia de los tipos de interés en niveles altos durante muchos años, la necesidad de tasas mayores de crecimiento para reducir los niveles de desempleo y déficits públicos acumulados son razones que han ido inclinando la balanza hacia un menor peso de la política monetaria restrictiva en la combinación actual de instrumentos de política económica. Aunque no sin reticencias, la política antiinflacionista parece alejarse del planteamiento tradicional y situarse más en otros terrenos. El relevo lo están tomando la política salarial, la reforma del mercado laboral, la disminución del déficit público, la política de competencia y, en menor medida, la política industrial.

Investigation of unusual mortalities of bottlenose dolphins along the mid-Texas coastal bay ecosystem during 1992

An investigation was conducted into the deaths of more than 220 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that occurred within the coastal bay ecosystem of mid-Texas between January and May 1992. The high mortality rate was unusual in that it was limited to a relatively small geographical area, occurred primarily within an inshore bay system separated from the Gulf of Mexico by barrier islands, and coincided with deaths of other taxa including birds and fish. Factors examined to determine the potential causes of the dolphin mortalities included microbial pathogens, natural biotoxins, industrial pollutants, other environmental contaminants, and direct human interactions. Emphasis was placed on nonpoint source pesticide runoff from agricultural areas, which had resulted from record rainfall that occurred during the period of increased mortality. Analytical results from sediment, water, and biota indicated that biotoxins, trace metals, and industrial chemical contamination were not likely causative factors in this mortality event. Elevated concentrations of pesticides (atrazine and aldicarb) were detected in surface water samples from bays within the region, and bay salinities were reduced to <10 ppt from December 1991 through April 1992 due to record rainfall and freshwater runoff exceeding any levels since 1939. Prolonged exposure to low salinity could have played a significant role in the unusual mortalities because low salinity exposure may cause disruption of the permeability barrier in dolphin skin. The lack of established toxicity data for marine mammals, particularly dermal absorption and bioaccumulation, precludes accurate toxicological interpretation of results beyond a simple comparison to terrestrial mammalian models. Results clearly indicated that significant periods of agricultural runoff and accompanying low salinities co-occurred with the unusual mortality event in Texas, but no definitive cause of the mortalities was determined.

Anuario Estadistico de Pesca 1992

This document is in Spanish. El Capítulo I contiene información sobre los volúmenes de producción alcanzados en la fase primaria de la actividad (capturas y acuacultura). Las principales variables manejadas son: producción por principales especies, por tipos de consumo, por origen, por entidad federativa y por sectores productivos, así como su valor a precios de playa, concluyendo' con un conjunto de cuadros con series históricas de producción. En el Capítulo 11, se dan a conocer estadísticas sobre la transformación o industrialización de productos pesqueros. Los indicadores de información se refieren a la materia prima procesada y producción obtenida, desagregándola por entidad federativa y principales líneas de producción, esto es, congelado, enlatado, reducción (fabricación de harina de pescado y aceites) y otros procesos. El Capítulo 11I, hace referencia a las estadísticas sobre la fase de la comercialización y consumo de los productos provenientes de la pesca: disponibilidad, consumos (aparente y per-cápita), precios y balanza comercial pesquera, finalizando con series históricas sobre estos mismos indicadores. Enseguida-Capítulo IV·, se presenta información acerca de los principales activos disponibles en el sector, es decir, sobre la flota, planta industrial, astilleros, instalaciones portuarias y centros de acuacultura. Del mismo modo, aparecen las cifras de los empleos generados por la actividad y de los saldos de los créditos que el sector recibe de la banca nacional. Por último, en el Capítulo Vse hace un compendio de las principales variables de la actividad pesquera mundial, en el que se puede apreciar la participación de MéxicQ en el concierto mundial de la pesca.

The Distribution of Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles (Lepidochelys kempi) Along the Texas Coast: An Atlas

Eight hundred sixty-five records of Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempi) reported from Texas between the late 1940's to April 1990 were compiled from six data bases and the literature, then plotted on a series of Texas maps. Four categories of Kemp's ridleys are identified throughout the atlas: head-started (turtles that are raised in captivity their first year of life), wild, historical (pre-1980), and nesters. Geographic, seasonal, and size distributions of the turtle categories are plotted by regions. Most Kemp's ridleys were reported from the northeast and central Texas coast. They were reported from both inshore (landward of barrier islands) and offshore (seaward of barrier islands). Scattered nestings occurred in the central to southern regions. Kemp's ridleys were found more often during the spring and summer. A total of 546 turtle records contained measurements; most were 20-59.9 cm curved carapace length and considered sub-adults. Comparison of distributions of head-started and wild Kemp's ridleys suggests head-started Kemp's ridleys inhabit the same areas as wild Kemp's ridleys. (PDF file contains 56 pages.)

Laugarren mundua: herri indigenen erbeste ekintza, onespen eta aldaketa eragile nazioarteko harremanetan 1992-2007

[EUS] Jasandako kolonizazioaren poderioz herri indigenak domestikatu eta ikusezinak bihurtu egin dituzte urte askotan. Gauzak erabat aldatu egin dira azken bolada honetan indigenek martxan kanpo ekintzari esker gai izan baitira euren irudia eta nazioarteko agenda propioa bultzatzeko. Era honetan lortu egin dute aktore berri bezala nazioarteko erkidegoan onartuak izatea, eta ondorioz sustatu egin dituzte euren aldeko gertatu diren hainbat aldaketa garrantzitsuak. Hauen artean aipamen berezia merezi du Herri Indigenen Eskubideen Aldeko Aldarrikapen Unibertsalak, 2007an onartu zena. Doktorego tesi honetan herri indigenek nazioartean propio aritzeko sorturiko Laugarren Mundua delako mugimenduaren azterketa egiten da. Errotik mugimendu antikolonialista izanik kolonialismo uhin ezberdinek sorturiko egoera aztertzen da. Geroxeago honen aurka aritu izan den mundo mailako mugimendu indigenaren sorrera, agenda eta ekimen eremu nagusiak aztertu direlarik. Ekintza eremuen artean aipamen berezia merezi dute giza eskubideen eremuan zein ekologian egindakoak.

Divididos por zero : um estudo sobre o caráter difuso do anonymous

Analisa elementos que caracterizam os grupos de manifestação política dispersos pelas redes e mídias digitais, a partir do caso do Anonymous, grupo cuja atuação política foge aos padrões convencionais de participação, contestação e ativismo. Sugere-se para a entidade o conceito de “grupos difusos”, visto que não há liderança unificada e nem centralização de suas ações. Além disso, o grupo não possui uma política claramente definida e nem atores identificados. Conclui-se que, ao favorecer a interação e permitir o espraiamento de mútuos padrões comportamentais, o grupo aparenta alcançar ainda mais cooperação do que os modelos tradicionais de manifestação política.

Untersuchungen des Zanderbestandes in den deutschen Küstengewässern der Ostsee von 1992 bis 2002

Pike-perch is an important resource for the coastal fishery in the brackish waters of the eastern part of the coast. For the conservation of the stocks regulation measures (minimum landing size, closed season and minimum mesh size) have been introduced since many years. Basic biological material of the last decade sampled from the commercial fishery and for recruitment by a standard trawl survey. For the “Eastern stock” this paper presents the results concerning age distribution, year-class strengths, growth, proportion spawners, natural mortality and yield-per-recruit analyses.
