The marking or tagging of turtles is a widely used to facilitate the monitoring of population demography, structure, and conservation of species. Even though they are used in many studies of turtle demography, the available methods are not very efficient, except for microchips (Passive Intergraded Transponder/PIT tags); however, the latter is too expensive to be used on a large scale. Here we present a viable, cost-effective tagging alternative that uses a durable plastic cattle tag and pin. Turtles in the genus Podocnemis were tagged in the Lower-Amazon region, west of the state of Pará, Amazon, Brazil. This method is highly recommended for future work on monitoring and population structure of large species of freshwater turtles. In addition to feasibility, it can be used in the form of citizen science, as the information can be obtained by laypeople and taken to researchers and conser...

Records of interactions of pumas with rural communities (n= 7) are registered from 2013 to 2017, four of them with attacks on domestic herds, which resulted in the persecution and death of the puma. In the remaining three records, without damage to domestic herds, the puma was captured, either by the community, or by the public service, and translocated by the public service to a new area. Despite the low sample size, the results revealed: (1) That, there are cases in which the population does not eliminate the feline promptly, but calls for assistance from the authorities; (2) That the authorities react as best they can to carry out translocations - in spite of that, in one occasion a wild puma was sent to a zoo and in other it was killed, which requires the implementation of a standardized protocol to aid decision making in these situations. The results indicate other possible conseque...

This paper examines the business strategies of the firm Aluminio Argentino (Aluar) since its inception in 1970 to the 2001 economic crisis. The commissioning of the plant was made possible by the tremendous support of the State and his performance coincided with a period of great macroeconomic instability and sharp reduction in domestic demand, deal with the aggravation of aninternational market marked by the recession which was held almost until the nineties. The study also illustrates the strategies of the business once the regulatory framework that gave rise disappeared and the company faced a strong competitive shock.

This study analyzes the transformations in the educational field that occurred during the first Peronist government in Jujuy (Argentina). We focus particularly on the reorganization and reform of the education system that followed the enactment of the Common and Special Education Law 1946. In this task we focus mainly on primary education in the district, as well as highlighting the role of the then Minister of Education in Jujuy: Shukri José.

This article discusses how Argentine newspapers Clarín, La Nación and La Prensa informatively built the enactment of the Act called "Punto final" in December 1986 -during the government of Raul Alfonsín (1983-1989)-, which stipulated a deadline for filing legal complaints against members of the Argentine armed forces who had committed crimes during the clandestine repression ordered by the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983. In a context where the military pressured the government not to be judged, the publications studied construct a scenario of urgency and need for reconciliation to resolve the conflict.

La opinión pública percibe a las universidades como la institucionalidad natural para el desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología. Pero, sus culturas organizacionales no han acumulado muchas competencias para la investigación pues, desde sus orígenes, han sido instituciones básicamente docentes y formadoras de profesionales. En consecuencia, los aportes globales de nuestros países a la ciencia y la tecnología son escasos, desproporcionados con las necesidades y volumen de sus universidades.

The various scandals that have shaken the corporate world have shown the need to analyze once again the ethic foundations of the corporation. It is not enough to issue a simple negative judgment; we must learn from failure and reflect on its causes. Why didn’t these companies fulfill theirmissions? What happened to their fundamental values? What happened to the personal convictionsof their general managers, with their vision of the future, with their contributions for the country and the community? Experience shows that it is not enough to merely propose worthy goals, guiding values or policies in favor of the environment and the community. It is necessary that all these propositions originate in the personal convictions of each individual, so that each actionwill have a distinctive, personal mark. Integrity must be found in the center of each individual and corporation. This paper pre...

The scope of this paper is to make a feasibility analysis for energy production from sugarcane byproducts in Perú. Therefore, it is shown the history, methods, current scenario and future prospects of sugarcane plantations related to the ethanol industry and the sugar industry. There will be shown analysis of harvest residues (top and leaves). Bagasse is a mill residue, produced after sugarcane juice is extracted from the sugarcane. Nowadays this residue is burnt in boilers and this energy is used to generate steam. In the other hand, harvest residues represent a significant part of the energy contained in the sugarcane, but it is left in the field, or worse; burnt before the harvest. There will also be shown an estimated value of the electricity generation potential from sugarcane residues.

This study aims to show the methodology and results related to the calculation of fluidization velocities in a bubbling fluidized bed gasifier. The pressure drops encountered by a fluidizing agent in the particle bed are also exposed. Velocity calculation is important because it enables a good fluidization, which induces a uniform distribution of particles. The good distribution of particles causes a uniform distribution of temperatures in the gasifier where the thermochemical reactions of the process are performed. Biomass functions as a reactor fuel, and accurate fluidization provides a summarized way for correct gasification. Good calculation of pressure drop in the bed is vital for the correctly selecting a blower, a device responsible for providing the power and airflow necessary for fluidization. The bed particles are bauxite with 86% alumina with a density of 2960 kg/m3 and an ave...

Using large panel data models that deal with the problems of potential endogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, while also allowing for cross-country heterogeneity in the parameters of interest, we demonstrated that trade openness produces a depreciation of the real effective exchange rate and total factor productivity leads to its appreciation.

Background: Asking questions is an essential instrument of human communications. Not only do the answers introduce information into the system, but they also constitute a true strategic trigger in psychotherapy. Method: Theoretical study. Results and Conclusions: The paper explores the art’s theory of asking and the technique of speaking the patient’s language. As a maneuver that supports the way in which the question is executed. It also tries a typology of questions that were collected in the clinical practice of different therapists. In no way are all the types of questions that were classified, but it is an original work, thought from the systemic paradigm and the strategic systemic model in psychotherapy that makes it possible to systematize numerous questions that are only at the mercy of the creativity and spontaneity of the therapist.

Soil moisture content can be used to predict drought impact on agricultural yield better than precipitation. Remote sensing is viable source of soil moisture data in instrument-scarce areas. However, space-based soil moisture estimates lack suitability for daily and high-resolution agricultural, hydrological, and environmental applications. This study aimed to assess the potential of the random forest machine learning technique to enhance the spatial resolution of remote soil moisture products from the SMAP satellite. Models were built using random forest for spatial downscaling of SMAP-L3-E, then visually and statistically evaluated for disaggregation quality. The impact of topography, soil properties, and precipitation on the downscaled soil moisture was examined. The relationship between downscaled soil moisture and in-situ soil moisture was analyzed. The results indicate that the pro...
