Agua virtual y desarrollo sostenible

Abstract: El presente articulo trata un tema bastante novedoso, es la conceptualizacion e importancia economica del analisis del Agua Virtual, para introducir en la discusion academica la sostenibilidad del capital natural, y como sabemos El Agua es un recurso natural de vital importancia tanto como un insumo es los principales procesos productivos, asi como tambien elemento esencial para mantener la vida, por tanto debe ser considerado uno de los principales componentes del capital natural de una nacion, y debemos analizar su uso racional, su reposicion y conservacion para garantizar la sostenibilidad de la estructura economica. Por tanto su contenido esta enfocado en aspectos conceptuales para comprender a que nos referimos cuanto escuchamos sobre el Agua Virtual, cual es la relacion y diferencia entre este concepto y la huella hidrica?. Como podemos cuantificarla y porque es importante hacerlo. Aqui se presente un pequeno ejercicio sobre la base lo que se requiere de agua para producir algunos rubros que ocupan un lugar considerable dentro de la estructura productiva, que nos permite sentarnos a reflexionar sobre que estamos haciendo para garantizar el uso de los recursos hoy y en el futuro.

Informar a los pobladores de El Descanso (Breña Tres), sobre la calidad física, química y microbiológica de sus fuentes de agua, Nandaime, Granada, 2016

Abstract: A study on the water quality was performed in the community El Descanso (Brenas Tres), which has a population of 140 members; agriculture is currently their main economic activity. The water supply is underground, providing agriculture with a potential risk of aquifer contamination by agrochemicals used. At the same time, is a latent danger for the population health, because people don´t know on the daily drinking water. On the other hand, the ONU has established access to water as a fundamental right of human beings in 2010; however, it isn´t enough to supply a lot water, but it also needs to be of good quality for the assurance of human health; for this reason, this study assessed the physiochemicals and bacteriological conditions of wells in this area; both organochlorinated and organophosphorous pesticides were analyzed. With this in mind, as of 2011, the government established as a mandatory requirement for every any the total arsenic analysis to make use of water; hence, this analysis was also included in this research. Eleven excavated wells and a drilled well were monitored. Analytical results indicate the obtention of good quality water compared to the physiochemicals parameters, pesticides and total arsenic for human consumption in according to the quality standards used; however, it is quality in terms of microbiological contamination indicators is not suitable for human consumption due to concentrations of Total Coliforms and Escherichia Coli detected in the three monitored sources.

[Preliminary plant inventory of the palm-swamps in the Caribbean of Costa Rica and Nicaragua].

Abstract: In the Caribbean slope of Isthmian Central America, plant associations dominated by the palms Raphia taedigera and Manicaria saccifera develop in poorly drained or waterlogged soils. These associations are known locally as yolillales or palm-swamps, although there are differences in the forest structure and plant diversity associated with both palm species. In this paper, we report the results of a preliminary inventory of tree species found in eight palm-swamps at five locations in southeastern Nicaragua and northeastern Costa Rica. Our data reveal low tree diversity in these swamps with only 60 species accounted in them. This figure is equivalent to close to 8% of the plant species known for this region. In general, R. taedigera dominates flooded areas with extensive hydroperiods and lower floristic diversity, while M. saccifera is often found in flooded forests with more structure and diversity.

Competitividad de las empresas panificadoras legalmente constituidas de la ciudad de Estelí, Nicaragua. 2015

Abstract: This research aims to determine the factors that influence the competitiveness of the bakeries companies of the city of Esteli for the design of strategies that strengthen the competitive capacity of this sector. This research is applied and quantitative. The universe of study was 37 companies of the baking sector legally registered in the Municipality of Esteli. Simple random probabilistic sampling was applied. The sample consisted of 33 bakeries from the city of Esteli. The instruments applied were: surveys and interviews with owners and clients of bakeries. Research shows that the main factors that make a bakery competitive are: price, quality, good service, product presentation and local hygiene. All these factors are essential for the development and success of the baking companies of the city of Esteli.

El Güegüense: factor cultural para la reconstrucción de la Identidad Nacional

Abstract: En enero de cada ano, durante las festividades religiosas de la ciudad de Diriamba, distintos grupos de promesantes representan la obra El Gueguense en honor a San Sebastian, su santo patrono. En los parlamentos de la obra hacen referencia a los conflictos y contradicciones del sistema colonial, especificamente entre los vencedores (espanoles) y los vencidos (mestizos – indigenas). La obra gira en torno a los impuestos que asfixian a la poblacion que no tiene ni que comer, pero Tastuanes – el gobernador – culpa a El Gueguense (viejo mercader) por esta situacion y lo manda a traer con el Alguacil mayor, su fiel servidor. El Gueguense, con su ingenio tergiversa las palabras del gobernador hasta convertirlas en insulto y logra no solo evadir los impuestos, sino ademas, cazar a su hijo mayor – Forsico – con la hija del gobernador Tastuanes: Suche-Malinche. El 25 de noviembre de 2005, El Gueguense es declarado por la UNESCO, obra maestra del patrimonio vivo, oral e intangible de la humanidad, debido – entre otras cosas – a que esta se consagra como un icono cultural de la nacion. Por ejemplo, Jorge Eduardo Arellano, ve reflejado en El Gueguense el producto del ser esencialmente mestizo, con el cual se identifica al nicaraguense por el sincretismo racial y cultural durante la colonia.
