A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF USERS OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS INFORMATION: PROCEDURES AND RESULTS

This survey of 100 economic analysts in agriculture, outside of government and academia, assesses the changing public-private balance in information services in agriculture. Its objectives were to: (1)contact front-line private-sector analysts who handle economic issues in agriculture and ask them about the data and information they most value and why, (2) experiment with measurement instruments to segment and describe information attributes that users value; and (3) assess the interest of front-line analysts in the changing public- private balance in information provision. The results provide a list of information services used by analysts, descriptive responses on attributes that contribute to value-added, and statistical analysis relating respondent characteristics to the use of information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

Implementación de Lean Service para incrementar la efectividad de los procesos operativos en un oleocentro de Trujillo, 2023

La presente investigación titulada “Implementación de Lean Service para incrementar la efectividad de los procesos operativos en un oleocentro de Trujillo, 2023” tuvo como objetivo principal implementar Lean Service para incrementar la efectividad de los procesos operativos en la empresa OLEOCENTRO ROSIS E.I.R.L, 2023. El tipo de investigación fue de carácter aplicada y su diseño de investigación fue pre-experimental. La muestra se representó por toda la población, que son los procesos operativos de la empresa, se consideró como periodos de evaluación pre y post implementación 28 días laborales. Como primer objetivo específico se evaluó el estado inicial de los procesos operativos, obteniendo un nivel de 70% de efectividad, en la eficiencia y la eficacia, se obtuvo de 80.07% y 90.81% respectivamente; como segundo objetivo se determinó las causas que inciden en la baja efectividad de los procesos operativos; en el tercer objetivo se implementó herramientas de Lean Service en la empresa, realizándose mediante bases teóricas; respecto al cuarto objetivo específico se determinó la efectividad de los procesos operativos después de implementar Lean Service, obteniendo un nivel de efectividad del 80%, en la eficiencia y la eficacia, se registró valores de 83.10% y 94.60% respectivamente

Assessing the Potential Effects of Fungicides on Nontarget Gut Fungi (Trichomycetes) and Their Associated Larval Black Fly Hosts

Fungicides are moderately hydrophobic and have been detected in water and sediment, particularly in agricultural watersheds, but typically are not included in routine water quality monitoring efforts. This is despite their widespread use and frequent application to combat fungal pathogens. Although the efficacy of these compounds on fungal pathogens is well documented, little is known about their effects on nontarget fungi. This pilot study, a field survey in southwestern Idaho from April to December 2010 on four streams with varying pesticide inputs (two agricultural and two reference sites), was conducted to assess nontarget impact of fungicides on gut fungi, or trichomycetes. Tissues of larval black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae), hosts of gut fungi, were analyzed for pesticide accumulation. Fungicides were detected in hosts from streams within agricultural watersheds but were not detected in hosts from reference streams. Gut fungi from agricultural sites exhibited decreased percent infestation, density and sporulation within the gut, and black fly tissues had elevated pesticide concentrations. Differences observed between the sites demonstrate a potential effect on this symbiotic system. Future research is needed to parse out the details of the complex biotic and abiotic relationships; however, these preliminary results indicate that impacts to nontarget organisms could have far-reaching consequences within aquatic ecosystems
