Title A name given to the resource 2015: Ano Internacional dos Solos Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Álvaro Afonso Simon Description An account of the resource Depois de dois anos de intensas tratativas, a 68a Assembleia Geral da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) instituiu 2015 como o Ano Internacional dos Solos (AIS-2015). O objetivo dessa celebração é conscientizar os atores da sociedade civil e dos setores privado e governamental sobre a importância da proteção dos solos para a manutenção dos ecossistemas, a qualidade de vida e o desenvolvimento sustentável. A Organização das Nações Unidas para a Alimentação e Agricultura (FAO) foi designada para coordenar a implementação do AIS-2015 no âmbito da Aliança Mundial pelos Solos em colaboração com os governos e a Secretaria da Convenção das Nações Unidas de Luta Contra a Desertificação (UNCCD). No Brasil, o Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (Mapa) é o órgão responsável por difundir o AIS-2015. O Mapa criou um comitê, unindo Governo Federal e sociedade civil, para promover o assunto. Com isso, uma série de eventos foi planejada para o decorrer do ano, assim como aconteceu com a agricultura familiar no ano passado (FAO, 2015).

Title A name given to the resource Anthropological Journeys of the Past and the Future: The Ecological Peace of Francisco Jiménez Bautista Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mariateresa Gammone Description An account of the resource In this article we intend to analyze the uniqueness of the anthropological proposal presented by Francisco Jiménez Bautista of the concept of Ecological Peace/Gaia Peace in contrast with the other anthropological perspectives. The objective is to corroborate the differences in the traditional way of understanding peace and anthropology that in his writing becomes an Anthropology of/for peace, which in Francisco Jiménez Bautista is characterized in a manner, which finds no similarities in other authors. We conclude that his perspective is different compared to the many pacifist hopes of the past and to the many pessimistic anthropologies of the present.

Title A name given to the resource African palm in Los Rios Province of Ecuador: agrobusiness, the state and violation of peasants´ rights Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Natalia Landívar, Germán Jácome López, Mario Macías Yela Description An account of the resource This article provides an analysis of the African palm cluster in the upper region of Los Rios province, and is an emblematic case that reveals the current condition of the power exerted by agro-business in Ecuador. As the analysis of the various actors of the cluster demonstrates, this sector has relied on strong state support, as a result of coalitions between State and a handful of big companies that concentrate the sector’s income and result in the violation of peasant and small producers Human Rights. This process, apparently, hides the historical discrimination towards this constituency and perpetuates historical disadvantages and social debts in our society.

Title A name given to the resource USO DE METABOLITOS SECUNDARIOS DE LAS PLANTAS PARA REDUCIR LA METANOGÉNESIS RUMINAL Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Oscar Mauricio Velez Terranova, R. Campos-Gaona, H. Sánchez-Guerrero Description An account of the resource Actualmente existe una gran preocupación por la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero y su contribución al calentamiento global.  Los rumiantes aportan a la emisión de estos gases a través de la producción de metano entérico, un gas cuyo potencial de calentamiento es 21 veces superior que el CO2, y que se considera una perdida energética para el animal. El uso de antibióticos ha sido útil para reducir la metanogénesis, sin embargo su uso ha sido prohibido en algunos países, además las exigencias actuales de los mercados están dirigidas a la obtención de productos animales saludables y con bajo impacto ambiental. Una alternativa de mitigación natural que está ganando mucha atención en la nutrición animal es el uso de metabolitos secundarios de las plantas. Diversos estudios han demostrado la capacidad que tienen ciertos compuestos secundarios de reducir la metanogénesis  a través de diferentes formas de acción. En la presente revisión se describirán en profundidad los metabolitos secundarios que más han sido estudiados y que han demostrado reducir  la producción de metano entérico  y su efecto sobre los parámetros de fermentación. Finalmente, se resalta la  necesidad de identificación de nuevos compuestos  y se sugieren los aspectos metodológicos a tener en cuenta.  Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Subject The topic of the resource Cambio climático, Metabólitos secundários, Metano, rumiantes Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Agriculture (General), Agriculture Relation A related resource <a href="http://www.revista.ccba.uady.mx/ojs/index.php/TSA/article/view/2061" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.revista.ccba.uady.mx/ojs/index.php/TSA/article/view/2061</a> http://socictopen.socict.org/files/original/485cb3f1ab2f1b72133cfe427f954a54.pdf 313fdfd4ac295cf79bc260e9335dc0b1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource ¿Diversidad o dominancia en la producción de alimentos? El caso de los polinizadores Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas A. Garibaldi, Sebastián Aguiar, Marcelo A. Aizen, Carolina L. Morales, Agustín Sáez Description An account of the resource La biodiversidad está siendo destruida a una tasa alarmante. Una de las principales causas de esta pérdida es el cambio de uso del suelo, que se basa en la agricultura y la ganadería convencionales. Las prácticas de manejo como el monocultivo y el uso intensivo de agroquímicos reducen el número de especies de plantas, aves, insectos y otros grupos taxonómicos, a la vez que aumentan la abundancia relativa (dominancia) de pocas especies cultivadas y silvestres (e.g., malezas). Dado que casi 40% de la superficie terrestre se destina a la producción de cultivos y de carne, es clave lograr una producción agropecuaria compatible con la preservación de la biodiversidad. Además de su valor por aspectos éticos, espirituales y de uso para generaciones futuras, en este artículo destacamos el rol de la biodiversidad en la producción agropecuaria, y usamos a los polinizadores como ejemplo. Paradójicamente, la agricultura convencional está destruyendo la diversidad de polinizadores, pero esta diversidad es fundamental para incrementar la productividad (y su estabilidad en tiempo y espacio) de muchos cultivos. Varios estudios demuestran que la pérdida de diversidad de polinizadores no se puede compensar con una abundancia alta de una sola especie de polinizador (dominancia). Es por ello que debatimos acciones que pueden tomar los productores, consumidores, políticos y científicos para recuperar parte de esta biodiversidad. Por ejemplo, los productores pueden implementar prácticas dentro y fuera del cultivo para aumentar los recursos florales y de nidificación a los polinizadores y, de este modo, promover su abundancia y diversidad. Además, los consumidores pueden modificar su dieta, reducir los desperdicios y producir alimentos a pequeña escala, entre otras acciones. Como consecuencia, resulta imperioso tomar acciones múltiples por todos los actores, pues una sola estrategia no será suficiente para resolver el dilema de producir y conservar la biodiversidad.

Title A name given to the resource Efecto de la calidad de un curso sobre manejo poscosecha en la motivación, aprendizaje y rendimiento estudiantil en la Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Carmen Andrés Description An account of the resource En la UNED de Costa Rica, el rendimiento, motivación y aprendizaje de los estudiantes son los tres ejes centrales en los que la Cátedra de Agroindustria se está enfocando a partir del año 2012 para mejorar la calidad de los cursos y dar una mejor atención a los estudiantes. La hipótesis que la cátedra plantea es que si se toma en cuenta la situación de cada estudiante y el proceso de aprendizaje no se basa solamente en una nota final, mayor será su motivación, rendimiento y aprendizaje. Se trabajó el curso Manejo poscosecha I, impartido en el I cuatrimestre del 2012, realizando a) una evaluación del nivel de motivación de los estudiantes a través de una encuesta y la indagación de su situación específica y b)un análisis de su rendimiento y nivel de aprendizaje a través del estudio de dos instrumentos de evaluación: foro y examen. Se encontró que los estudiantes no responden de manera positiva a actividades de evaluación alternativa si no tienen porcentaje en la nota final, que no reciben suficiente retroalimentación sobre sus evaluaciones y que prefieren tener más tutorías presenciales. Se encontró también que el nivel de aprendizaje no está relacionado positivamente con el rendimiento obtenido en la nota final del Foro 1, mientras que sí está relacionado en el primer examen ordinario. Se concluye que el aprendizaje de los estudiantes no se mide por completo con una nota final y la situación específica de cada estudiante debe considerarse para mejorar su motivación, aprendizaje y rendimiento. Se recomienda introducir cada vez más la evaluación alternativa en los cursos de la Cátedra de Agroindustria, sin dejar de lado las situaciones específicas de cada estudiante. Effect of the quality of a postharvest handling course in the motivation, learning process and performance of students at the Distance State University of Costa Rica. Performance, motivation and knowledge of the students are the three central axes in which the Agroindustry chair has been working since the year 2012 to improve the quality of its courses and take care of the students in a better way. My hypothesis was that if each student situation is taken into account, and the learning process is not based only on a final grade, there would be better motivation, knowledge and performance. The Postharvest handling course (first term of 2012) at UNED was investigated through: a) an evaluation of the level of the students’ motivation with a survey and inquiry about their specific situation and b) an analysis of their performance and knowledge level through the judgment of two evaluation instruments: Forum 1 and the first exam. The students do not respond in a positive way if the alternative evaluation activities lack a percentage in the final grade, or they do not get enough feedback about their evaluations; the prefer to have more presential tutorials. Knowledge is negatively correlated with the final grade obtained by the students in Forum 1, but positively related to the first exam. The knowledge of the students is not completely measured with a final grade and individual situations must be taken into account to increase motivation, performance and knowledge. I recommend the inclusion of alternative evaluation activities in the Agroindustry chair without leaving behind the specific situations of each student.
