Listening to Other Voices: Moving Beyond Traditional Mission Histories- A Case Study from El Salvador

For the most part, mission history has focused on the work and effort of missionaries and not as much on the missionized, those people and communities they assisted. this is a flaw in the field which needs to be corrected, but how do we accomplish this? This article proposes a two-step process. First, by closely reading the traditional histories and the primary documents, we can emphasize and highlight the roles and voices of the missionized. Second, by using oral history interviews we can capture essential thoughts and attitudes of missionized people and communities about their mission experience. This dual approach helps balance out the perspectives to give a deeper, more complex reading of mission history. A case study approach is used in this article, focused on the mission of the Colegio Bautista (a mission of the American Baptists) in Santa Ana, El Salvador

Avaliação de consociação de gramÍneas e leguminosas sob pastejo.

O experimento foi realizado em solo de cerrado de baixa fertilidade, classificando como Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo, Alico, na unidade Canchim, visando a compatibilidade e a produtividade de 5 gramineas

Desenvolvimento de animais Canchim e Nelore em regime de pasto.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o desenvolvimento de animais da raça Canchim e Nelore em regime de pasto. Foram utilizados 128 animais, 64 por ano, divididos em 4 grupos, por raça e sexo, e distribuidos igualmente em piquetes de capim-andropogon e piquetes de capin-andropogon consorciado com calopogonio, em dois anos de experimento

Sensitivity monitoring of Phakopsora pachyrhizi populations to triazoles in Brazil.

Asian soybean rust (ASR) reported in 2001 in South America spread to Brazilian producing areas and is considered one of the main diseases of the crop. Fungicides used for the control belong to QoI (strobilurins) and SBI (azole) compounds. A weaker efficacy of straight azole was observed at some regions in the end of the crop season 2006/2007. To determine whether the problem observed was due to the resistance, a sensitivity monitoring test was carried out in 2008/2009 to detect possible changes in the EC50 values of the fungus population. The test was done according to FRAC methodology. Leaves samples infected with Phakopsora pachyrhizi were sent from nine Brazilian states, in a total of 36 populations, and the spores collected were inoculated in detached leaves treated with fungicides. The triazoles tested were cyproconazole, metconazole, tebuconazole, and prothioconazole (0; 0.125; 0.25; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 4.0; 8.0; 16.0; 32.0 ppm). Disease severity was evaluated 15 days after inoculation. The EC50 values were estimated by Proc Probit, SAS®. Differences in EC50 values among the populations were statistically significant (P < 0.01). The EC50 for cyproconazole and metconazole ranged from 0.06 to 1.37 ppm and from 0.02 to 3.89 ppm, respectively. For tebuconazole, EC50 ranged from 0.02 to 1.28 ppm. For prothioconazole, there wasn’t a distribution of EC50 values because, with 0.25 ppm, the populations tested didn’t develop symptoms of ASR. The results showed an oscillation of EC50 values in the P. pachyrhizi population from different locations during the crop season
