Workshops for the Construction of a Communication Strategy from a Multidimensional Approach

Based on the planning of activities proposed by the regional project with a territorial approach (PRET)") “Contributions for the sustainable development of the geographic zone Central and Eastern Valley of the province of Catamarca” from INTA; and as part of the line "Strategic Communication", workshops were held with the aim of reflecting on communication actions in the territory covered by the project. For the construction of the communication strategy, workshops were held to reflect on the scope of communication. The first was held in November 2013, the second during 2014 and the last in 2016. The systematization of the workshops was planned in two stages. The initial one referred to the work as an instance of interaction of knowledge and, the second stage, to the socialization of what had been worked on up to that moment. Unforeseen actions were generated from the workshops, but they arose from the recognition of the staff towards the communication team. This factor involved organizing other meetings with topics that the same people considered necessary to address, such as conflict resolution, work stress, teamwork, which required specialists in the subject. In the territory, the work demanded different times. The interaction was promoting and strengthening intersubjective and interinstitutional links working towards a common goal or project. Communication was a key factor. Finally, it should be noted that beyond recognizing the need to address communication from a multidimensional approach, doubt and uncertainty, as well as the deepening of the subject, were aspects that were strongly present in the workshops, for those of us who went on this complex journey. It also presents us with a great challenge to continue rethinking and reflecting on our daily work from strategic communication.EEA CatamarcaFil: Iriarte, Daniela Beatriz.

Envejecimiento de módulos fotovoltaicos en sistemas de bombeo de agua en la provincia de Catamarca

El presente trabajo describe el comportamiento de los módulos fotovoltaicos instalados en el marco del convenio Argentino - Alemán de bombeo fotovoltaico en siete plantas de la Provincia de Catamarca. Se describe la metodología seguida para la determinación de su funcionamiento, teniendo en cuenta los principales inconvenientes que se presentaron en el curso de los nueve años de instalados los sistemas. Para las mediciones se adoptó un criterio de seguimiento que atiende fundamentalmente a la identificación de los módulos que presentan mayor deterioro, teniendo en cuenta que los mismos son los que producen la pérdida de eficiencia del conjunto y del sistema. Se propone una metodología de medición de bajos costo que permite evaluar el funcionamiento de los paneles fotovoltaicos y certificar su comportamiento para que los proveedores de los mismos restablezcan las condiciones operativas ante situaciones de deterioro.The present work describes the behaviour of modules photovoltaics installed in the frame of the Argentino- Alemán agreement of photovoltaic pumping systems, in seven plants in Catamarca Province. The consecutive methodology for the determination their operation is described, keeping in mind the inconvenient principals that were presented in the course of the nine years of installing the systems. For the mensurations a criterion of pursuit was adopted to attend fundamentally to the identification the modules that present greater deterioration, keeping in mind that the same are those that produce the loss of efficiency in the group and the system. It proposes a methodology of mensuration that with low costs allows to evaluate the operation of panels photovoltaics and it certify the behaviour so that the outfitters of the same reestablish the operative conditions in front to situations deterioration.Tema 4: Energía solar y conversión fotovoltaica.Asociación Argentina de Energías Renovables y Medio Ambiente (ASADES

Bombeo fotovoltaico: un análisis técnico-social de instalaciones en la provincia de Catamarca

Las bajas precipitaciones pluviales y los escasos escurrimientos superficiales lleva a numerosas poblaciones rurales de Catamarca a recurrir al agua acumulada en represas, para bebida, arriesgándose a contraer enfermedades intestinales. Existen también servicios reducidos donde se extrae agua subterránea mediante bombeo, implicando elevados gastos operativos. Este factor y los elevados niveles de radiación solar, contribuyeron a decidir el uso de tecnología fotovoltaica para extraer agua subterránea. En el presente trabajo se describe: principales características de las poblaciones, problemas comunitarios y gubernamentales involucrados con la transferencia tecnológica, además de las características de los sistemas instalados. La evaluación del comportamiento durante nueve años permite reportar las fallas producidas y arribar a la conclusión que, a pesar de los problemas técnicos, el sistema cuenta con aceptación social en la mayoría de las poblaciones beneficiadas con el programa, salvo algunas que proponen la instalación de sistemas mixtos.The scarce pluvial precipitations and the low surface drainage make many rural populations in Catamarca resort to water reservoirs for drinking, running the risk of intestinal illnesses. Reduced services pumping out underground water involve high cost of operation. All this and the high solar radiation levels contributed to the decision to use photovoltaic energy to take out underground water. This work describes: the main populations characteristics of, community and governmental problems about technology transfer, besides the characteristics of installed systems. The evaluations made through nine years, allows to report the produced flaws and to reach the conclusion that, in spite of technical problems, the system has the approval of the populations benefited with the program, except some that propose the installation of mixed systems.Tema 4: Energía solar y conversión fotovoltaica.Asociación Argentina de Energías Renovables y Medio Ambiente (ASADES

KNOWING THE ELECTORAL PREFERENCE THROUGH POPULARITY ON FACEBOOK (CONOCIENDO LA PREFERENCIA ELECTORAL A TRAVÉS DE LA POPULARIDAD EN FACEBOOK)

AbstractThis study examines the possibility of identifying the political-electoral trend of a presidential election based on the popularity of candidates on Facebook. We collected data from Facebook accounts of the four candidates to Mexico’s Presidential in 2012, and we analyzed the data against the election result of July 1, 2012. We found a positive relationship between the number of friends and votes, corroborating previous research. Moreover, we introduced the number of times the Facebook like button was clicked by friends as a variable to measure the voting trends, finding that it has a stronger correlation with votes.Keywords: elections, political-electoral trend, political participation, popularity, social network sites.ResumenEste estudio examina la posibilidad de identificar la tendencia político-electoral de una elección presidencial a partir de la popularidad de los candidatos en Facebook.

Flint ‘figurines’ from the Early Neolithic site of Kharaysin, Jordan

During the Early Neolithic in the Near East, particularly from the mid ninth millennium cal BC onwards, human iconography became more widespread. Explanations for this development, however, remain elusive. This article presents a unique assemblage of flint artefacts from the Middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (eighth millennium BC) site of Kharaysin in Jordan. Contextual, morphological, statistical and use-wear analyses of these artefacts suggest that they are not tools but rather human figurines. Their close association with burial contexts suggests that they were manufactured and discarded during mortuary rituals and remembrance ceremonies that included the extraction, manipulation and redeposition of human remains.This research is funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional and Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas.

Identifying populations of wild vines and grapevines trained on the facades of old farmhouses.

El presente trabajo se ha centrado sobre la Cuadrilla de Ayala (Álava), donde se han localizado ocho poblaciones relictas de vid silvestre en diversos hábitats. Se ha comprobado su carácter dioico durante el periodo de floración. Se han identificado las principales especies parásitas existentes sobre estas parras y las principales componentes de su vegetación acompañante. Por otro lado, se han estudiado quince vides cultivadas, con una edad superior a cincuenta años, situadas en la fachada principal de los caseríos. El análisis del ADN de ambos tipos de parras se ha realizado con 48 marcadores SNPs. Los resultados obtenidos han sido comparados con la base de datos disponible en el Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino (Logroño), a fin de proceder a la caracterización genética de las muestras.This paper focuses on the Cuadrilla de Ayala (Álava province, Spain), where eight relic wild grapevine populations were located in different habitats. The dioecious nature of these lianas was determined at flowering time. The main parasitic species on these vines and also the most frequent taxa of their accompanying vegetation were identified. On the other hand, fifteen vines, aged in excess of fifty, and located in the main entrances of traditional farmhouses (caseríos), were also studied. The analysis of the DNA from both kinds of sampled vines was based on 48 SNPs markers. Results were compared with the available data base at the Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino (Logroño, Spain) for the sample genetic characterization

Moieties and mortuary mounds: dualism at a mound and enclosure complex in the southern Brazilian Highlands

Excavations at Abreu Garcia provide a detailed case study of a mound and enclosure mortuary complex utilised by the southern proto-Je in the southern Brazilian highlands. The recovery of 16 secondary cremation deposits within a single mound allows an in-depth discussion of spatial aspects of mortuary practice. A spatial division in the placement of the interments adds another level of duality to the mortuary landscape, which comprises: i) paired mound and enclosures; ii) twin mounds within a mound and enclosure; and iii) the dual division in the mound interior. The multiple levels of nested asymmetric dualism evoke similarities to the moiety system that characterizes modern southern Je groups, highlighting both the opposition and the complementarity of the social system. The findings offer a deeper insight into fundamental aspects of southern proto-Je social organization, including the dual nature of the community, the manifestation of social structure on the landscape and its incorporation into mortuary ritual. The results have implications for research design and developing appropriate methodologies to answer culture specific questions. Furthermore, the parallels among archaeology, ethnohistory and ethnography enable an understanding of the foundation of modern descendent groups and an assessment of the continuity in indigenous culture beyond European contact
