Exploratory survey of Malian and Ndururu traps in River Rima, north western Nigeria

The fabrication and operational techniques of Malian and Ndurutu traps mostly used by the fishermen in River Rima in north western Nigeria were evaluated through structured questionnaire and measurement of samples of the Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. There was no standard in the dimensions of either of the traps. The traps were made of locally sourced materials, except the synthetic net of the Malian trap. About 81 and 80% of the respondents fabricated their Malian and Ndurutu traps, respectively. The major problems encountered in the structure and operation of the Malian trap included projection above water, stealing of catches and trap, and trapping of small sized fishes as indicated by 61.9, 47.6 and 28.6% of the respondents, respectively. In the case of the Ndurutu trap, 72.0, 48.0, 12.0 and 8.0% of the respondents respectively indicated poor durability, single entrance valve, destruction by cattle and instability in water, as the major problems encountered. As improvement measures for the Malian trap, the respondents suggested increase in number and size of valve (81.0%), horizontal positioning (57.1%) and square shape (47.6%) while 52.0% each suggested increase in number of entrance valve and netting of Ndurutu trap. The fishermen demonstrated ingenuity in the fabrication and operation of the traps, but they failed to initiate the required improvement. It is important to critically examine the designs, materials, costs and limitations of the traps and the suggestions of the fishermen, as basis for improvement on the technology of the traps

Evaluation of a new fishing pot trap (Lege) in River Rima, north western Nigeria

Based on the findings and diagnostic survey, a new fishing trap, christened Lege trap was designed and fabricated, and the performance evaluated. The 8-valve Lege trap was assessed concurrently with Malian and Ndurutu traps by the fishermen in the study area. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with one factor each replicated three times. Data collected on fish diversity number, biomass and size were subjected to descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The results showed that 22 fish species belonging to thirteen families were caught. The prototype (Lege) trap recorded higher species diversity index (0.90) than the Malian (0.50) and Ndurutu (0.50) traps. The Lege trap also accounted for the largest number (55%) and biomass (63%) of fish caught which was significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of the Malian and Nduutu traps were. The mean length (15.03~c5.70cm), weight (60.43~c48.61g) and girth (4.77~c1.65cm) of fishes caught in the Lege trap were also significantly (P0.05) higher than those caught in the other two traps. These results demonstrated better performance of the new trap than the two conventional traps, even though the sizes of some of the fish species caught in all the traps were below those allowed by the Sokoto State Fisheries Edict where the study was conducted. Therefore, since it is desirable to develop conservation-oriented trap at a least cost, it is necessary to research further on the number of valves and mesh size of the new trap

Influence of number of valves on catch composition of a fishing pot trap (Lege) in River Rima, north western Nigeria

Three types of prototype (Lege) traps with different numbers of entrance valves were evaluated in River Rima, north western Nigeria. The traps contained 4,6 and 8 valves, tagged 4-V, 6-V and 8-V respectively. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with one factor each replicated three times. Data collected on fish diversity, number biomass and sizes were subjected to descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The results of the catch composition showed close diversity index of 0.86 for 6-V, 0.80 for 8-V and 0.60 for 4-V Lege traps. However, the number (41%) and biomass 48%) of fish caught in the 6-V Lege trap were significantly (P0.05) higher than those caught in the other traps. There was no definite trend in the sizes (length and girth) of fish caught in the traps. On the basis of species diversity, and the number and biomass of fish caught, the 6-V Lege showed preference for adoption than the other two traps. However, further studies are recommended on the appropriate mesh size net for the trap in line with the provisions of fisheries edicts

El cambio que rima. Creando espacios alternativos de contestación cultural desde el hip hop. Estudio del caso de raperos de El Alto y La Paz

A través de este trabajo se pretende comprender cómo se construye un espacio de contestación cultural y político desde una expresión artística como rap, que para aquellos que son sus seguidores, es parte de la “cultura Hip Hop”. Para cumplir este objetivo, el presente estudio desarrolla en el primer capítulo una recapitulación metodológica del camino trazado, es decir la explicación de las técnicas, herramientas y enfoques desde los que se trataron el tema, y por qué éstas se eligieron. En el segundo capítulo se da una breve reseña sobre el movimiento de rap a nivel mundial y nacional para luego concretar el desarrollo del movimiento en La Paz y El Alto. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo pretende mostrar el camino que une a los raperos con el público. Este es el eje del último capítulo, pues a través del presente documento, se plantea la relación entre músicos, activistas o artistas, con un público determinado. Esta tesis es una forma de entender cómo jóvenes de distinta procedencia y visiones sobre la vida, actúan en su sociedad y hablan de su realidad creando espacios de contestación que interpelan y responden a hechos concretos que afectan su cotidianeidad.

Pipelines are linear construction that intersect several environments, requiring integration of environmental and technical aspects in its various elaboration steps. Environmental impact assessment if made to integrate the environmental information to enable environmental characterization, possibility identify previously fragilities of environment what contributes to the safety forecast of the significant impacts. These studies shall consider superimpose of the elements and the worsening of critical situations that already exists. In this way, meet and analyse informations about the environmental impact assessment, constructive aspects related to pipelines transport and get environmental impact studies of the case studies, providing the student a critical vision for the discussion of the apropiate balance between description and analysis, methodological rigour and the interface between construction and the environmente with inserts. Performing the critical analysis of methodologies and applied criteria for the environmental diagnosis and impact identification, search improve the methodologies for elaboration of environmental impact studies for linear construction, particulary pipelines, minin conflicts and giving security for the license process. Await provide subsidy to direction data collection, for choosing environmental indicator and for the prognosis and indentification of impacts.

La rima: dalla metrica alla pedagogia con un'indagine su Gianni Rodari

Questo lavoro si presenta come un’indagine pluridisciplinare fra metrica,linguistica,letteratura e didattica, in cui la rima n’è l’oggetto e il filo conduttore. Attraverso questa ricerca si tenta di mostrare la capacità della rima di costituire un ponte fra espressione e contenuto, di allargare così il bagaglio non solo linguistico del fruitore, ma anche quello conoscitivo. Partendo dall’ambito linguistico e metrico, si analizza in prima istanza, l’apporto pratico che la rima ha avuto nell’evoluzione delle lingue volgari indoeuropee, per poi diventare il mezzo più semplice e istintivo per strutturare il verso poetico. Si passa così da un contesto folklorico ad uno colto, percorrendo tutti i secoli della nostra storia letteraria. Nella seconda parte la materia metrica cede il posto a quella didattico – pedagogica, e il passaggio è facilitato dalla poesia novecentesca che rimette in discussione il ruolo della rima, e la vede come il mezzo perfetto d’associazione fra parole, non solo di suono, ma anche di senso. A questo risponde la teoria del “binomio fantastico” di cui si avvale Gianni Rodari per creare le sue filastrocche, ed educare divertendo i suoi alunni. La rima con la sua omofonia finale, col suo accostamento casuale, concentra l’attenzione del bambino su di se e lo fa entrare a contatto col mondo delle parole, con la potenza della lingua.
