Authors: Nkwocha Stella Ekwutosi
Published: April 2023

This study was designed to ascertain the extent of utilization of multimedia facilities among Secondary School Students in Obudu Local Government Area of Cross River State. The study adopted the quasi experimental design, specifically the pretest posttest non-equivalent group design.  Two research questions and hypotheses were formulated, answered and tested respectively. The population consists of 527 senior secondary school students. The sample was made up of two hundred and fifty students (one hundred and thirty males and one hundred and twenty females). The data were collected using Questionnaire titled” Multimedia Facilities in Biology questionnaire (MFBQ)” and “Biology Achievement Test (BAT)”. The instruments were validated by experts. Data were analyzed using percentage and mean for research questions with a bench mark of 2.5 while chi –square and T-tests were used to test the hypotheses at p<0.05 significance. The result from the findings revealed that the students taught using multimedia facilities performed better than those not taught with multimedia facilities, multimedia facilities were not available enough in the secondary schools in Obudu, teachers’ competence in the use of multimedia facilities was good as observed from the frequency of use which had influence on students’ academic achievement in Secondary Schools Obudu Local Government of Cross River State. It was however inferred based on the findings that the failure rate of students will be reduced if appropriate and relevant multimedia facilities were provided for the teaching of biology in secondary schools. Finally, it was recommended among others that the teaching of biology in secondary schools in Obudu should be conducted in the manner that students will effectively understand and learn the concepts taught with the use of the multimedia facilities and that the Federal and State Government should periodically organize and sponsor teachers’ attendance to conferences, seminars and workshops on utilization of multimedia facilities in teaching and learning processes.

Authors: Capasso Federico
Published: April 2023

I will discuss metasurfaces that enable light’s spin and orbital angular momentum to evolve along the propagation direction and nonlocal supercell designs that demonstrate multiple independent optical functions at arbitrary large deflection angles with high efficiency. 2D phase and polarization singularities (“structured dark”) have been realized, as well as 0D singularities. I will present active metasurfaces for high-speed optical modulation at telecom wavelengths based on electrooptic polymers and Si and give the state-of-the-art of commercial metalenses including their high-volume manufacturing for consumer electronics. Finally, I will discuss our recent work on metalenses for the EUV ( 50 nm wavelength) based on vacuum guiding.
İsveçli Misyoner Gunnar Jarring Koleksiyonunda Yer Alan Bir Anonim Uygurca Kur’ân Tefsiri Üzerine
Authors: Kurban Nur Ahmet
Published: April 2023

Doğu Türkistan, yakın döneme kadar İslam dininin kurallarının geçerli olduğu bir İslam beldesidir. Nitekim XX. yüzyılın başlarında dine dayalı düzenler bir bir yıkılırken 1933 yılında Kaşgar’da Doğu Türkistan İslam Cumhuriyeti kurulmuştur. Bölge halkı yaşanan bütün zorluklara rağmen daha sonraki süreçte de İslamî kimliğini muhafaza etme gayreti içerisinde olmuş; millî ve mânevî değerlerini yansıtan ve ayakta tutan eserler vermeye çalışmıştır.
Tarihi süreçte bölgede yazılmış eserlerin önemli bir kısmı kayıptır. Bunlardan bazıları, yabancı araştırmacılar tarafından götürülürken, bazıları Komünist Parti iktidarında ideolojilerine aykırı kabul edilerek imha edilmiştir. Az bir kısmı ise siyasi kargaşa ortamında kaybolmuştur. Bizim bu çalışmada ele alıp incelemeyi düşündüğümüz eser ise Doğu Türkistan bölgesinde geçtiğimiz yüzyılın başlarında yazılmış olan ve İsveçli bir misyoner tarafından ülkesine götürülen kıymetli eserlerden biridir. Eserin yazıldığı yıllarda dünya coğrafyasında gelişmekte olan düşünce akımlarının izlerini Doğu Türkistan topraklarında sürmek bize bölge halkını anlama imkânı verecektir. En azından İslami düşünce evrim sürecinde Doğu Türkistan toplumunun durduğu yeri tespit noktasında fayda sağlayacaktır. Bu noktadan hareketle ilgili eseri ilk bölümündeki kayıt bilgileri doğrultusunda inceleyeceğiz. Sonraki bölümde ise eserin bir tefsir olması dolayısıyla tefsir ilminin dikkate aldığı açılardan incelemeye çalışacağız.
Relación entre tipologías y percepciones de espacios verdes públicos del frente fluvial del río Limay (Área Metropolitana de Neuquén, Argentina)
Authors: Lopez Micaela , Gentili Jorge
Published: April 2023

El conocimiento de la percepción y preferencias de los usuarios de frentes de agua y en particular de frentes fluviales es fundamental para su diseño y gestión sostenible. El objetivo de este trabajo es establecer relaciones entre diferentes tipologías de espacios verdes públicos (EVP) ribereños sobre el frente fluvial del río Limay en las ciudades de Neuquén y Plottier y la percepción que los usuarios tienen sobre ellos. Para tal fin, se seleccionaron cinco EVP y se clasificaron según la metodología “Espectro de Oportunidades Recreativas''. Posteriormente se apreció la percepción y usos de los EVP de interés mediante una encuesta virtual a sus usuarios. Por último, se analizó la existencia de relaciones entre la percepción de los participantes y los tipos de EVP a través de un análisis estadístico descriptivo no paramétrico. Los resultados muestran una elección preferencial de los participantes por EVP de tipo moderno. A su vez, sugieren que las diversas tipologías de EVP no conllevan necesariamente a diferencias en la experimentación de la naturaleza subjetiva, mientras que la calidad del espacio público tiene un gran peso en la experiencia recreativa.

Published: April 2023

Background: Covid-19 is a disease caused by acute respiratory syndrome due to corona virus 2. Patients with Covid-19 experience symptoms of severe shortness of breath resulting in death. The risk of death for Covid-19 sufferers will be greater if the patient has a history of comorbid diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease or kidney disease.Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between comorbid diseases and the incidence of mortality in patients with Covid-19.Method: Research design using descriptive analytic. The research population was all Covid-19 sufferers who were treated at Mojowarno Christian Hospital (RSK) during 2021 totaling 450 sufferers. The research sample was 212 respondents with a sampling technique using systematic random sampling. The data was obtained from the medical records of Covid-19 patients who were treated at the Mojowarno Hospital. Statistical test using chi square and odds ratio with a significance level of P <0.05. Results: The results of the study found that comorbid diabetes mellitus showed a result of P: 0.000, meaning that there was a relationship between comorbid diabetes mellitus and the incidence of mortality in patients with Covid-19. Comorbid kidney disease shows a P value: 0.003, meaning that there is a relationship between comorbid kidney disease and the occurrence of mortality in Covid-19 sufferers. Comorbid heart disease results obtained P: 0.089, meaning that there is no relationship between comorbid heart disease and mortality in patients with Covid-19. Hypertensive comorbid disease on mortality with a P value: 0.134 meaning that there is no relationship between hypertension comorbid disease and the risk of mortality in patients with Covid-19. Conclusion:Covid-19 sufferers who have comorbid diabetes mellitus cause greater mortality. This is because diabetes mellitus can cause a cytokine storm which plays a role in increasing the severity of COVID-19 sufferers so that it often causes death.

Dithering Between Consultation and Consensus – Whereto with Advisory Bodies for Indigenous Peoples?
Authors: De Villiers Bertus
Published: April 2023

The establishment of permanent, national consultative bodies for Indigenous Peoples is rare, but insight can be gained from comparative experiences such as the Sámi Parliament of Finland, previous advisory bodies for Aboriginal People in Australia, and more recently progress by the Khoisan in South Africa. Advisory bodies for Indigenous Peoples at the national level are often the victim of competing expectations. Governments tend to approach advisory bodies as fora for consultation on terms that are, in essence, dictated by government with the outcome being little more than non-binding recommendations, whilst Indigenous Peoples seek a form of co-government arrangement whereby there is some legal or policy requirement for their advice to be actively sought and sincerely considered, even if such advice is not legally binding. Four questions are the subject of this article: (1) how should an advisory body be composed; (2) what should be the policy or functional areas on which consultation must take place; (3) what is meant by an obligation to consult or to negotiate; and (4) can laws or policies be judicially challenged if there was a failure to consult, or if there is a failure to give effect to the advice received from the advisory body? The conclusion is reached that the enforceability of good faith negotiation or consultation obligations is principally found in the conduct and goodwill of governments, rather than by way of judicial review and oversight. Courts are unlikely to evaluate the substance of negotiations whereby the merit or reasonableness of proposals and counter-proposals become a matter for judicial consideration. Courts have, however, shown a greater willingness to consider procedural aspects of consultation such as the actions, behaviour, and conduct of the parties during the course of consultation, but with acknowledgment that at law good faith consultation does not necessarily imply a veto; it does not legally mandate an agreement; and it does not preclude a party standing firm in its position. It is noted that even in those cases where courts have enforced consultation obligations, actual consultation is usually directed at local projects that involve access to traditional lands, and not to general consultative rights or duties at a national level about national socio-economic policies.

Published: April 2023

O estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o comportamento morfométrico das árvores de ipê-amarelo (Handroanthus serratifolius (Vahl) S.O. Grose) regeneradas naturalmente em pastagem artificial. Em um piquete de pastagem com área de 15 ha foi feita a coleta dos dados dendrométricos de 45 árvores de H. serratifolius, sendo: diâmetro a 1,3 m de altura do solo (DAP), altura total (HT), comprimento e diâmetro da copa. A partir desses dados foram estimados os seguintes parâmetros morfométricos das árvores: área de projeção de copa (APC); proporção de copa (PC); formal de copa (FC); grau de esbeltez (GE); índice de abrangência (IA) e índice de saliência (IS). Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva, calculando as medidas de posição e dispersão, além do teste de normalidade de Shapiro-Wilk (p > 5%). Houve o domínio de indivíduos com DAP 20 ≥ 30 cm (55,5%), HT 10 ≥ 15 m (71,1%), APC ≤ 100 m2 (60,0%), PC ≥ 70% (84,4%), FC ≤ 1 (53,3%); GE ≤ 0,50 (75,5%), IA ≤ 0,80 (69,6%) e IS ≤ 31 (67,4% das árvores). A disponibilidade de espaço de crescimento favoreceu o desenvolvimento equilibrado da copa e o diâmetro do tronco, proporcionando estabilidade às árvores.

Published: April 2023

O intuito desse estudo foi modelar o crescimento e a produção de plantios de Pinus taeda L. com modelos globais, de distribuição diamétrica e de árvores individuais. Os dados utilizados foram provenientes das medições de 345 parcelas permanentes localizadas no estado de Santa Catarina. Para avaliar a projeção da produção em volume pelos diferentes métodos estudados, 89 parcelas foram selecionadas para compor o conjunto de dados para validação. Aplicou-se o teste estatístico de Wilcoxon para avaliar igualdade estatística dos volumes estimados e observados. As estatísticas de viés e acurácia também foram utilizadas para avaliar as projeções dos volumes totais. Para obtenção dos parâmetros futuros da fdp de Weibull, foram utilizados os métodos dos percentis. Dentre todas as categorias testadas, o modelo global de Clutter (1963) é o mais preciso e acurado para a prognose da produção total com viés médio de -9,80 m3 ha-1 e acurácia média de 33,60 m3 ha-1. A modelagem de distribuição diamétrica também apresenta bons resultados. O sistema de árvores individuais não apresenta estimativas precisas e acuradas. O resultado do teste estatístico de Wilcoxon mostra que existe diferença estatística entre os valores observados e estimados entre todos os métodos.

A lógica da pesquisa científica de Karl Popper como diálogo possível entre a filosofia da ciência e a cientificidade da geografia
Authors: Ferreira da Silva Mariza
Published: April 2023

Este trabalho é resultado de pesquisa epistemológica. Sua metodologia de natureza analítico-interpretativa possibilitou constatar o vínculo entre a filosofia da ciência e a geografia, tanto na formação histórica de sua institucionalização, quanto em seus desdobramentos atuais. O objetivo é analisar as principais ideias do filósofo Karl Popper (1902-1994) sobre a lógica da pesquisa científica e sobre os dois problemas fundamentais da teoria do conhecimento, como exercício epistemológico que contribua com o debate recente à crítica geográfica. A epistemologia ou lógica da pesquisa científica deve ser identificada com a teoria do método científico que, “na medida em que se projeta para além da análise puramente lógica das relações entre enunciados científicos, diz respeito à escolha de métodos – a decisões acerca da maneira de manipular enunciados científicos” (POPPER, 2013, p. 45). Ou seja, com adoção de regras adequadas ao “método empírico” e ao critério de demarcação, torna-se possível submeter à prova os enunciados científicos, aferindo-se à falseabilidade. Com a releitura da obra de Karl Popper, verificou-se a base ética da ciência em sua visão crítica. Com as pesquisas geográficas, foi possível verificar, os fundamentos filosóficos orientadores dos métodos empíricos na geografia. Conclui-se que, a teoria de Karl Popper em relação ao método dedutivo de prova é uma contribuição relevante para a análise de métodos aplicados aos fenômenos geográficos e que a dimensão política de suas ideias científicas pode ser um contraponto de reflexão à crítica geográfica.

Published: April 2023

Smartphones have become the most popular mode of communication as well as a novel mode of work, allowing users to work from anywhere and increasing their efficiency and responsiveness. However, the flexibility and convenience of mobile phones are associated with security risks. The objective of this study was to examine the threats and risks that smartphones face and to suggest mitigation strategies. A literature searches of scientific research articles published in online journals and databases was carried out. Some of the databases used are Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore Digital Library and Science Direct. The paper concludes that smartphones are not only capable of supporting office work but can also serve as a gateway to the Internet of Things (IoT) and a tool for user interaction with numerous electronic devices. This comes with concerns about technical threats associated with cybercrime, privacy infringements, and hidden data collection tendencies. The paper recommends advanced research to enhance counter-measures to mitigate the many existing security threats as well as those that may emerge in the future.

Mining activities pose environmental impacts especially when the operation is near bodies of water, thus, affecting water quality. As these environmental impacts are growing, there is a pressing need for increased intervention studies to improve water quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of granulated activated carbon made from coconut shells in reducing heavy metal levels and enhancing the water quality of Lake Mainit located at Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte, Philippines. Silica sand, pumice stones, and white marble chips were added to a glass tank with the granulated activated carbon made from coconut shells. The water sample underwent various laboratory tests. The atomic absorption spectrometry flame technique was used to analyze the heavy metals lead and cadmium. Gravimetric method was employed in total suspended solids and total dissolved solids, and nephelometric method for turbidity. Pre-treated water sample analysis regarding lead, total dissolved solids, and turbidity are within the permissible limits, however, total suspended solids and cadmium concentration surpassed the allowable limits for Class A waters. Removal efficiency in terms of heavy metal concentration and the significant difference of parameters between the water sample before and after intervention were calculated. Results showed that after the intervention, activated carbon made from coconut shells were able to reduce the cadmium level present in the water sample. It also improved the quality of water within permissible limits. Hence, the activated carbon made from agricultural waste such as coconut shells has considerable potential to provide better water quality.

How Do Accreditation Bodies Manage Risk Associated with the Accreditation Business?
Authors: Bandusoma L.H.D.
Published: April 2023

Among other factors, accreditation-focused entities operating various accreditation schemes for conformity assessment bodies are expected to fulfill requirements of international standard ISO/IEC 17011:2017 (Conformity Assessment – Requirements for accreditation bodies providing conformity assessment). Consideration should be made of legal requirements. Additional requirements of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) as well as the requirements of scheme owners, such as CORSIA and GlobalG.A.P., etc., should adhere to the word “risk,” which appears in different places of the ISO/IEC 17011:2017. The main objective of ISO/IEC 17011:2017 is to ensure competence, consistent operation, and impartiality of accreditation bodies accrediting conformity assessment bodies. The term “risk” is defined as the “effect of uncertainty on objectives” (ISO 31000:2018, clause 3.1). Therefore, it is required to consider all possible uncertainties by accreditation bodies (ABs) and initiate suitable actions to prevent or mitigate such risks. Mandatory documents (MDs) published by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) have addressed how accreditation bodies should consider risks when they operate specific accreditation schemes, such as EMS, FSMS, QMS, OH&SMS, etc. There are no common viewpoints published or discussed in relation to the risks associated with accreditation bodies. This aims to create awareness of possible risks associated with accreditation bodies and share experiences with examples of cases on how accreditation bodies react to uncertain situations with respect to achieving the intended objectives of ISO/IEC 17011.

De strafbaarstelling en sanctionering van EU-sancties: een uniforme strafrechtelijke aanpak

Het is inmiddels meer dan een jaar geleden dat de militaire Russische inval in Oekraïne plaatsvond. Vanuit de Europese Unie zijn sinds februari 2022 tien sanctiepakketten uitgevaardigd met een veelheid aan sancties tegen Rusland. De uitvoering en handhaving van de EU-sancties betreft in de eerste plaats de verantwoordelijkheid van de EU-lidstaten zelf, met grote verschillen in uitvoering, implementatie en handhaving van de sancties tot gevolg. De Europese Commissie acht een gemeenschappelijke strafrechtelijke aanpak noodzakelijk en heeft een voorstel gepubliceerd voor de harmonisatie van de strafbaarstelling van schendingen van EU-sancties en de sanctionering daarvan.

Gjennom den norske velferdsstaten har offentlige myndigheter tatt ansvar for borgernes liv og velferd. Skole og utdanning er garantert for den enkelte, og om man blir syk, trenger hjelp eller på annen måte ikke klarer seg selv, er risikoen for den enkelte redusert. Alle borgere er garantert goder, tjenester og en viss trygghet gjennom det sikkerhetsnettet velferdsstaten utgjør. Det er også et velferdspolitisk mål å redusere sosial ulikhet.
Men den norske velferdsstaten slik vi kjenner den er i dramatisk endring. Denne boka handler om hvilke endringer som peker seg ut som noen av de mest sentrale, hvorfor de trer fram og hvilke konsekvenser de kan få. Boka veksler mellom analyse av overordnede mønstre, drivkreftene bak disse mønstrene slik de skapes på ulike felt på velferdsstatens grunnplan og fyldige beskrivelser av hvordan tjenester, profesjonsroller og brukere gis nye vilkår og dermed forandres. Bokas tematikk spenner vidt, og dens bidragsytere søker å kaste lys over fellestrekkene i den store variasjonen som kjennetegner det vi kaller velferdsstatens transformasjoner.

This study was carried out retrospectively. 32 patients with chest pain among 136 patients diagnosed with panic attack in the Emergency Department. The demographic information, complaints, chronic diseases of the patients and the results of the blood tests were recorded.

Patients with a diagnosis of panic attack frequently apply to emergency services. Among the patients, women were in the majority and the average age of all patients was 41 years. More than half of the patients had tomography, ultrasound, echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. The analysis and imaging results requested from the patients were normal. Most of the patients who present to the emergency department with chest pain complaints are discharged after excluding life-threatening conditions, saying that there is no acute condition. In fact, the main reason for this is the inadequate communication with the patient. However, the underlying condition in patients is likely to be panic attacks. It is important to evaluate non-cardiac chest pain in emergency departments. In this way, unnecessary analysis is not done, time management is healthier and most importantly, patients do not use unnecessary medication.
Lasso: transición o péndulo.

Guillermo Lasso Mendoza llega a la Presidencia de la República en 2021, imponiéndose a Andrés Arauz en segunda vuelta electoral, con un pequeño margen de diferencia y, un voto ajeno, que se explica no como adhesión mayoritaria a su liderazgo, plan o propuesta, sino como reacción de contra hegemonía a la opción correísta. Lasso gana con voto prestado, llega a la meta con zapatos ajenos, gana por efecto del clivaje en que camina nuestra política, conjugando una estrategia de convocar la adhesión de todos los frentes, sectores y tendencias ajenas al correísmo, Lasso gana desde la perspectiva de consolidar un cambio que, basado en el diálogo, en la construcción de acuerdos y, en la pluralidad ante la heterogénea composición del tejido social, constituya un gran pacto nacional. Causa, estrategia, mapeo y caracterización de actores: definición de alianzas y contradictorias, el manual es claro, capitalizar desde el ideal movilizador, sumar apoyos, consolidar base dura de poder y aislar al contradictor, el artículo explora, desde la mirada de expertos analistas políticos, los errores comunicacionales y de gestión de la política que vaciaron el significante del encuentro y diluyeron el pequeño capital político de Guillermo Lasso.

Published: April 2023

El respeto irrestricto y la adecuada aplicación de los principios jurídicos, tiene como finalidad; entre otras cosas, llevar un mejor procedimiento de los casos que la Fiscalía asume en el cumplimiento de sus obligaciones legales; sin embargo, cuando estos no son aplicados de acuerdo a lo que establece la ley, se pueden producir retardos innecesarios en el sistema procesal penal. En este sentido, como finalidad de esta investigación se planteó analizar la aplicación del principio de objetividad mediante la revisión bibliográfica, doctrinaria y legal, relacionada con dicho principio; respecto del impacto negativo que se pueda generar como producto de su inadecuada aplicación; y si representa o no, una sobrecarga para el sistema procesal penal.

Authors: Beltzer Adolfo H. , Ríos de Salusso María L. , Bucher Enrique H.
Published: April 2023

Los resultados de esta contribución, corresponden al análisis de los contenidos estomacales de ejemplares de Podager nacunda nacunda capturados en el aeropuerto de la ciudad de Paraná (Entre Ríos), en el verano de 1987. La dieta estuvo integrada por 19 entidades taxonómicas, siendo Nezara viridula (Homoptera, Pentatomidae) la especie capturada con los mayores valores de número, volumen y frecuencia de ocurrencia. Este hemíptero fitófago es el más común en la zona y que, en los últimos años al incrementarse el área de siembra de soja, se ha transformado en la plaga principal.
Notes on the ecology of the avifauna of Choré, Department of San Pedro, Paraguay
Authors: Hayes Floyd E. , Areco de Medina Felicita E.
Published: April 2023

We studied and compared the bird faunas of forest, cleared and marsh habitats at Choré. Department of San Pedro, Paraguay. Data on flock sizes. relative abundance and habitat use are summarized for 141 species of birds. Forest habitats were more species rich and unique than cleared or marsh habitats. The proportion of species belonging to foraging guilds varied between the different habitats. Gregarious species (mostly frugivores and carnivores) usually occurred in clearings and marshes. and were relatively more abundant than non-gregarious species. Forest birds occurred singly or in pairs. but often joined interspecific foraging flocks. The proportion of birds in relative abundance categories did not vary between different habitats or foraging guilds.

Song description of the House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) in two populations of eastern Argentina, and some indirect evidences of imitative vocal learning
Authors: Tubaro Pablo Luis
Published: April 2023

The song of the House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) in two eastern Argentina areas (Luján and Magdalena) is described. Song is typically composed by different syllable types repetitively delivered, thus conforming phrases. There is a significant difference in the mean number of syllable types per song between Magdalena and Luján populations. This difference is associated with the tendency in Magdalena's songs to be shorter and with fewer syllables than the Luján ones. This report critically discusses current evidence of vocal imitation leaming, and offers some new data concerning this ability in T. aedon, based on the observation of intraspecific song sharing of interindividual variable syllable types.

Actualizaciones sobre la distribución, biología y estado de conservación del Macá Tobiano (Podiceps gallardoi)
Authors: Beltrán J. , Bertonatti C. , Johnson A. , Serret A. , Sutton P.
Published: April 2023

El descubrimiento del Macá Tobiano (Podiceps gallardoi), en 1974, generó preocupación por el reducido número de ejemplares encontrados en una laguna de la provincia de Santa Cruz. Sumado a esto, los primeros estudios indicaban un éxito reproductivo nulo. Frente a tal situación, la Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina (FVSA) inició un proyecto con el propósito de conocer el estado de conservación y ciclo biológico de la especie. En la actualidad, y en base a la información publicada y la obtenida por el proyecto de la FVSA, puede afirmarse que la especie es una de las aves acuáticas más comunes de las mesetas santacruceñas, pero también que subsisten importantes dudas sobre su posibilidad de supervivencia a largo plazo. Dado el desconocimiento parcial de su rango de distribución geográfica, y total de su patrón la dispersión estacional y paradero invernal, hasta tanto no se disponga de mayores datos, se propone que el Macá Tobiano siga siendo considerada una especie rara y de distribución restringida.

Reproducción del Gavilán Ceniciento Circus cinereus en la Patagonia Argentina
Authors: Saggese Miguel D. , De Lucca Eduardo R.
Published: April 2023

En este trabajo se presentan datos sobre la biología reproductiva del Gavilán Ceniciento (Circus cinereus) en la provincia de Santa Cruz. El estudio fue llevado a cabo desde el 20 septiembre de 1987 hasta el 5 enero de 1988. Los Gavilanes se hallaban nidificando en forma colonial en un mallín. Los diez nidos encontrados estaban dispersos en un área de 3,5 hectáreas y la distancia promedio con el nido más cercano fue de 46,4 m. La densidad de nidificación fue de un nido cada 0,35 ha. La postura promedio ± DS fue de 3,5 ± 0,91 huevos y el período de incubación en un nido con 5 huevos fue de aprox. 28 a 32 días. Un 54 % de los huevos produjeron pichones. La temporada de cría se extendió desde fines de septiembre hasta fines de febrero o principios de marzo. Los Gavilanes defendían colectivamente los nidos frente a aves rapaces y ante personas. Un caso de poliginia fue registrado. Las vocalizaciones, despliegues aéreos y características de los pichones son descriptos. Los hábitos reproductivos del Gavilán Ceniciento son en general similares a los de otras especies del género pero difieren de las demás en la existencia de nidificación colonial, defensa colectiva de los nidos y ausencia de agresividad entre los ejemplares de la colonia.
