Defensa de bienes comunes naturales y decolonialidad: caso Xochicuautla, México

El artículo se deriva de la investigación denominada Proyectos hegemónicos de desarrollo y alternativas de los sujetos colectivos. Un estudio de tres experiencias de la zona metropolitana del valle de Toluca. Clave de Registro: 3802/2014/CIA, a cargo de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México.El presente artículo intenta comprender las dinámicas provenientes de movimientos sociales latinoamericanos relacionados con la defensa de bienes comunes naturales. Ello, a partir de dos enfoques: las epistemologías del Sur y la perspectiva del pensamiento crítico decolonial, para dar cuenta de las luchas y resistencias, así como de las propuestas que emergen desde colectivos sociales que ven amenazados sus territorios por la actual ofensiva capitalista. Para ello, retomamos el caso de la lucha en San Francisco Xochicuautla, Lerma, estado de México, al que consideramos un referente de los actuales movimientos sociales, en el contexto mexicano. De este modo, caracterizamos la lucha de la comunidad de Xochicuautla, para destacar cómo se articulan sus demandas, exigencias, alternativas, prácticas y discursos con otros movimientos más amplios que actúan en el territorio nacional, y cómo ello aporta a las construcciones teóricas latinoamericanas. En términos metodológicos, recurrimos al análisis documental extenso, la revisión y reflexión teórica, así como al trabajo de campo en la comunidad de Xochicuautla.SIEA-UAEMe

ILBES: Un approccio di apprendimento intergenerazionale per l’inclusione sociale in spazi e ambienti misti

Public libraries, educational, cultural or welfare centres, and other public spaces where digital services are embedded, hereby referred as Blended Environments and Spaces (BES), have become an important provider of free, public access to ICT, internet and learning environments for sociallydisadvantaged target groups. They are a reference point for new technologies, non-formal learning, people empowerment and social integration. Theclientele of BES largely includes seniors and elders who are digitally illiterate, as well as youngsters volunteering as adult trainers on the basis of their own digital competences. At the same time, the current economic downturn is pushing the job-inexperienced youngsters to look for help at these and other centres with social vocation due to the reduced employment opportunities they found.The Intergenerational Learning in Blended Environments and Spaces (ILBES) methodology was developed as part of eScouts, an EC-funded project. It is inspired in two proven learning methodologies (Community-Service Learning and Participatory and Appreciative Action and Reflection) which are combined for the first time in the design of an intergenerational learning circle that facilitates the socio-digital inclusion of seniors and the entranceof youth to the labour market and adult life, while improving solidarity between generations and local community cohesion.Le biblioteche pubbliche, i centri culturali o di assistenza e altri spazi pubblici dove i servizi digitali sono inclusi (qui riferiti con il termine di Blended Environments and Spaces, BES) sono divenuti un’importante fonte libera e pubblica di accesso alle tecnologie informatiche di comunicazione (ICT), a Internet e ad ambienti di apprendimento rivolti a gruppi socialmente svantaggiati.Sono un punto di riferimento per le nuove tecnologie, l’apprendimento informale, l’empowerment delle persone e l’integrazione sociale. La clientela dei BES include ampiamente adulti e anziani digitalmente analfabeti, così come giovani che volontariamente formano gli adulti a partire dalle loro competenze digitali. Contemporaneamente, l’attuale crisi economica spinge i giovani che entrano nel mondo del lavoro a cercare aiutoin questi e altri centri a vocazione sociale per sopperire alle ridotte occasioni di impiego a loro disposizione. La metodologia dell’Apprendimento Intergenerazionale in Ambienti e SpaziMisti (ILBES) è stata sviluppata come parte dell’eScouts, un progetto finanziato  dalla CE. Si ispira a due assodate metodologie di apprendimento (Community Service Learning e Participatory and Appreciative Action and Reflection) che sono combinate per la prima volta nel progetto di un circolo di apprendimento intergenerazionale che facilita l’inclusione socio-digitaledegli anziani e l’ingresso della gioventù nel mondo del lavoro e nella vita adulta, migliorando allo stesso tempo la solidarietà tra generazioni e la coesione della comunità locale

Changes in the juvenile fish assemblage of a Mediterranean shallow Posidonia oceanica seagrass nursery area after half a century

The within-year dynamics of the juvenile fish community in a shallow seagrass-dominated nursery habitat (Posidonia oceanica) in a Mediterranean bay were compared between two surveys separated by 50 years (1960 and 2012-2013). A nocturnal survey over depths ranging from 2 to 10 m over patchy seagrass meadows was conducted for one year (2012-2013) through 72 epibenthic tows spread fortnightly in 4 nearby stations, mimicking a survey conducted in 1960 in terms of sampling intensity, sampling zone, temporal coverage and sampling gear. Although a large proportion of the fish species were similar among surveys, remarkable and statistically significant differences were detected. A striking feature was that one of the most common and abundant Sparidae species currently, Diplodus annularis, did not appear in 1960. Other strong differences included the nonappearance of the European eel Anguilla anguilla in the recent survey. Furthermore, one of the most valuable species for artisanal fisheries in the area, the black scorpionfish Scorpaena porcus, was almost 10 times less abundant in 1960. A finer-scale study of the 2012-2013 survey allowed a quantitative analysis between species composition and potential environmental drivers through redundancy analysis that well described the current pattern of time-dependent recruitment pulses in nearshore meadows of the area throughout the year, with marked effects of surface temperature and photoperiod. The comparison between surveys suggests that some major differences between surveys are not likely to be attributable to interannual stochasticity in recruitment or environmental variability but may be related to i) unaccounted-for habitat transformation and/or ii) the strong decrease in juvenile fishing mortality in this shallow nursery area since the enforcement of bans on littoral epibenthic trawling activities characteristic of this area

Agentes causales de las principales enfermedades dérmicas y sus factores condicionantes en caninos distrito de Villa Maria del Triunfo - Lima, enero - mayo del 2017

El presente estudio se realizó con el objetivo de determinar los principales agentes causales de enfermedades dérmicas en canes atendidos en la clínica veterinaria “Huellitas de mi Cachorro” en el distrito de Villa María del Triunfo en la ciudad de la Lima – Perú. Durante el periodo de enero a mayo se evaluaron 150 fichas clínicas de caninos a los cuales se les practicaron raspado y cultivo bacteriológico. Se identificaron pulgas (Ctenocephalides spp.) con 44.00%, sarna sarcóptica (19.33%) micosis (13.34%) y cuadros de alergia (11.33%). Estos agentes causales traen una serie de problema a los canes y también a los dueños, ya que pueden transmitir enfermedades zoonóticas, para lo cual se propone realizar un control preventivo de estas enfermedades dérmicas. La presentación coincide con los meses de mayor radiación solar y humedad relativa alta.The present study was carried out with the objective of determining the main causal agents of dermal diseases in dogs treated in the veterinary clinic ""Huellitas de mi Cachorro"" in the district of Villa María del Triunfo in the city of Lima - Peru during the period of January to May 150 clinical canines of canines were evaluated, which were scraped and bacteriological culture. Fleas (Octenocephalides spp.) were identified with 44.00%, sarcoptic mange (19.33%) mycosis (13.34%) and allergy symptoms (11.33%). These causal agents bring a series of problems to the dogs and also to the owners, since they can transmit zoonotic diseases, for which purpose it is proposed to carry out a preventive control of these dermal diseases. The presentation coincides with the months of highest solar radiation and high relative humidity.Tesi

Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27º-56º S)

Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27 - 56 S), remain understudied in terms of jellyfish ecological data. We analyzed 3,727 plankton samples collected along ~6.7 million km2 over a 31-year period (1983–2014) to determine the occurrence, abundance, and diversity patterns of hydromedusae in the SWA. Analyses were made at both community and species levels. Two abundance hot spots of hydromedusae were identified, where values up to 2,480 ind. m-3 were recorded between 2003 and 2014. Liriope tetraphylla and Obelia spp. were the main responsible for recurrent peaks. Diversity indexes were in the range of those published for temperate areas worldwide, and some coastal zones showed values that can be considered moderate to high for a temperate neritic region. The community analysis yielded 10 groups following previously determined biogeographic schemes throughout the study area. This work enhances the knowledge of hydromedusae in the SWA and provides essential information about the current global warming context and the gelatinous zooplankton data necessity.Fil: Dutto, María Sofía.
