La circulación de las ideas positivistas en Argentina y en México: editores y traductores (1850-1950)

La historiografía sobre el tema ha mostrado que la introducción de la filosofía de Auguste Comte en Latinoamérica dio lugar a un positivismo profundamente heterogéneo. Su combinación con los escritos de Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin y John Stuart Mill, la circulación de impresos, tanto en lengua original como en traducción, y el desarrollo de un mercado editorial internacional a fines del siglo XIX son algunos de los factores que contribuyen a explicar dicha heterogeneidad. El presente trabajo estudia la circulación de las ideas positivistas en Argentina y en México desde la perspectiva de los editores y traductores activos entre 1850 y 1950, un periodo clave para la organización política de los nuevos Estados latinoamericanos y para la constitución de sus instituciones educativas.Historians have demonstrated that after its introduction to Latin America, Auguste Comte’s philosophy became an eclectic Positivism. Its combination with the writings of Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin, and John Stuart Mill, the circulation of printed materials in their original language and in translation, as well as the development of an international publishing market in the late 19th century are some of the factors that contribute to explain this eclecticism. This paper studies the flow of Positivist ideas in Mexico and Argentina from the perspective of its publishers and translators, in a period that is fundamental for the organization of the new Latin American States and their educational policies (1850-1950)

Lawns and ornamental meadows as an alternative in the South Europe

In the south of Europe, namely in Portugal or Spain, lawns invaded the gardens. Historically, lawns did not belong to the mediterranean garden, but, by anglo-normand influence the turfgrass is now used everywhere (Filippi, 2011). We expect that plants can help us to solve our ecological, technical or social problems. However, the use of plants can bring us some problems too. The use of plants in urban spaces is extremely social and cultural conditioned especially if we think about naturalistic plantings (Hitchmough & Dunnet, 2004). Lawns are an idyllic green soil cover very desired by general public in the Mediterranean climate. But the energy and water necessary to maintain a lawn in Mediterranean conditions is very expensive, economically and ecologically unsustainable. Ornamental meadows are an alternative that has qualities to substitute lawns in extensive framing areas in urban space. It is a very sustainable and biodiverse alternative that is already being used in many cities (Gilsoul, 2011). Ornamental meadows can help us to create more sustainable, diverse and interesting green spaces. Plants with interesting flowers can be used in ornamental meadows and create a spectacular blooming season. In this work we proposed to study the way Landscape Architects choice to use lawns or ornamental meadows in a Mediterranean climate were water to irrigate is a limit factor. How they are influenced by themes like sustainability, ecology or biodiversity, or conditioned by political or social opinions in their design of urban green spaces, were questions explored. The methodology used was surveys directed to active Landscape Architects designers that work in the South of Europe in a Mediterranean climate. Questions about what influences their choices when they have to choose between using lawns or ornamental meadows were asked. This theme was explored in order to understand what conditions the use of lawns or ornamental meadows at the designing level. With this work we hope to contribute to the knowledge about the use of plants covertures in cities in the South Europe

Sensação inerte e sensação ativa em Diderot

Este artigo pretende estudar quatro princípios do movimento da matéria (força viva, força morta, força íntima da molécula e força vital) que aparecem no Sonho de d’Alembert (1769), nos Princípios filosóficos sobre a matéria e o movimento (1770) e nos Elementos de fisiologia (1782) de Diderot. Com tal estudo, gostaríamos de mostrar a possibilidade daquilo que chamamos de sensação inerte e de sensação ativa, com base num quinto princípio: a força neural. Nossa hipótese é que o raciocínio que fundamenta a teoria de Diderot sobre a sensibilidade universal da matéria desemboca nas ideias de sensação inerte e de sensação ativa

Ornamental flower meadows vs tradicional lawns in mediterranean climate: general public preferences and perception

In Portugal lawns are used everywhere, even in small places where they are just to be seen. This creates a problem because in a Mediterranean climate turf-grass has to be watered to stay green. But people’s preferences seem to influence the design of green spaces using lawns everywhere, not considering the fact that lawns are more expensive economically and ecologically than other alternatives as ornamental flower meadows Over the last years an effort has been made to use alternatives to turf-grass, environmentally more sustainable, as ornamental flower meadows, trying to apply their ecological and aesthetic qualities and to influence the general public. In this work we intend to test these ideas, trying to get people’s preferences and perception of this different herbaceous vegetation cover. To do this, three different groups of people: landscape architects, landscape managers, and general public - will be asked about their perception and preference concerning different types of herbaceous vegetation cover. The method used is photographs with different sceneries using landscapes with different types of herbaceous vegetation cover that will be shown to the groups. The answers will be separated by gender and age groups. The different variables studied are the colour (one colour or multi-colour), the flowers (presence or absence), the management techniques, and the biodiversity. In this study we attempt to explore current attitudes towards the use of both lawns and ornamental flower meadows in public urban green spaces. The importance of biodiversity and sustainability in people’s preference and perception will be discussed

Evaluación morfométrica y genética de la estructura poblacional de Cynoscion guatucupa de la costa de Buenos Aires en el Mar Argentino

This study analyzed the morphometric, microsatellite loci and mitochondrial control region variation of the striped weakfish from two feeding and spawning grounds in the coastal area of Buenos Aires province. The characterization of the body shape proved to be different between sites. Genetic structure analysis showed that the main source of genetic variation was within populations rather than among populations and low genetic differentiation was observed between sites. The striped weakfish inhabiting the coastal areas of Buenos Aires would exhibit two management units in agreement with other fishes studied in both areas.Fil: Sabadin, David Ezequiel.

La garantía única en contratos estatales a la luz de la nueva ley de contratación estatal (ley 1150 de 2007)

El crecimiento de la Internet significó para el mundo económico la apertura comercial y la oportunidad de mayores desarrollos tecnológicos. Sin embargo, para el derecho, específicamente para el área de la propiedad industrial, significó el inicio de una carrera por encontrar nuevas formas de protección a los derechos de propiedad industrial, los cuales, al igual que las nuevas tecnologías, propician un positivo funcionamiento del mercado en tanto que permiten la diferenciación empresarial y la perfecta identificación de los agentes del mercado por parte de los consumidores.74 p.Contenido parcial: Los nombres de dominio -- Las marcas -- Conflicto entre marcas y nombres de dominio -- Mecanismos de solución de controversias en nombres de dominio

A educação social como um caminho para a inclusão e o empoderamento de idosos no Centro de Convivência do Riacho Fundo I

Trabalho de conclusão de curso (especialização)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Psicologia, Coordenação dos Cursos de Pós-Graduação Lato Sensu, Curso de Especialização em Educação em e para os Direitos Humanos, no contexto da Diversidade Cultural, 2015.Com o avanço da idade, alguns idosos se encontram em situação de vulnerabilidade social, que se agrava quando há situação de isolamento. Esta realidade pode ser ocasionada, por exemplo, pela exclusão destes dos meios de produção, redução da renda e dependência de cuidados que os torna mais frágeis. Assim, esta monografia, baseando-se em Pesquisa de Campo, com foco nos aspectos qualitativos, tem como objetivo verificar se o Serviço de Convivência e Fortalecimento de Vínculos ofertado pelo Estado, mais especificamente pelo Centro de Convivência do Riacho Fundo I, região administrativa do Distrito Federal, é capaz de contribuir para o empoderamento dos idosos atendidos na Unidade, preocupando-se com a garantia de seus direitos humanos e usando como ferramenta de trabalho a Educação Social. Os sujeitos da pesquisa, realizada por meio de entrevista semi estruturada, são os próprios idosos atendidos e seus educadores sociais. A partir dos dados obtidos, foi possível concluir que o Centro de Convivência contribui para a melhoria de vida de seus usuários, ajudando-os no processo de empoderamento

La enseñanza de lengua extranjera en un entorno diferente: inglés en el medio acuático

En el presente trabajo presentamos una propuesta de enseñanza alternativa en el aula de educación infantil. Lejos de utilizar metodologías tradicionales basadas en la instrucción o el trabajo por fichas, nuestra propuesta plantea nuevas formas de enseñar y aprender en el aula a través de metodologías participativas. Para ello, diseñamos una unidad didáctica con propuestas prácticas basadas en el aprendizaje activo y participativo por el método de rincones y grupos interactivos. Aunque esta propuesta no se ha llevado a la práctica sí puede revelar algunos resultados deseados con su desarrollo, como el incremento del grado de autonomía e iniciativa en el proceso por parte del alumnado. Finalmente, concluimos cómo, mediante diferentes modelos de enseñanza basados en metodologías participativas, podría mejorarse el desarrollo personal e íntegro de nuestros alumnos. De nosotros como docentes, depende cómo sea este proceso.Grado en Educación Primari
