Huidige demografiese, politieke en religieuse tendense in die wêreld en onderwys ter bevordering van interreligieuse toleransie
Authors: Wolhuter C , van der Walt H
Published: June 2018

Hoewel die wêreld aansienlike veranderinge ondergaan het weens 'n verskeidenheid van kontekstuele magte wat invloed uitoefen op regerings, gemeenskappe, onderwysstelsels en uiteindelik ook skole, het die probleem van religieuse onverdraagsaamheid ongelukkig nie gewyk nie. Die uitwissing van hierdie probleem van godsdienstige geweld en gedrag kan nie bedink word sonder om die plek en rol van onderwys en onderwysstelsels in die hedendaagse voortdurend veranderende wêreld in ag te neem nie. Al die magte wat 'n invloed uitoefen op die lewens van mense en ook op die onderwys en onderwysstelsels het 'n aantal benaderings tot godsdiens en godsdiensonderwys in skole na die oppervlak gebring. Nadat die verskillende benaderings in die artikel beoordeel is, word die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat 'n benadering bekend as lewensbeskoulike saamlewe tesame met 'n konfessionele benadering (deur die keuse van die ouers van die skool se leerders bepaal) in die onderwys as die beste beskou moet word omdat dit strook met die wyd aanvaarde leer van menseregte, en ook omdat dit strook met die perspektiewe van die teorie wat in die artikel gebruik is as konseptuele en teoretiese lens waardeur die problematiek bekyk is, te wete die sosiale ruimte- en etiese handelings- of funksieteorie.

Published: June 2018

Die doel van hierdie navorsing is om te bepaal hoe die aard en rol van onderwysbeheer in die vyf BRICS-lande (internasionale organisasie wat bestaan uit Brasilië, Rusland, Indië, China en Suid-Afrika) gebruik kan word om mekaar tot voordeel te strek. Ten einde hierdie doel te bereik, word eerstens bepaal wat die aard en rol van onderwysbeheer op nasionale (makro-), provinsiale (meso-) en plaaslike (mikro-)vlak in die BRICS-lande behels en tweedens word die aard en rol van die onderwysbeheerstrukture van die BRICS-lande met mekaar vergelyk. Die onderlinge vergelyking van die aard en rol van die onderwysbeheerstrukture van die vyf lidlande se onderwysbeheerstelsels het ten doel om lesse wat geleer kan word met betrekking tot beste praktyke in die onderwysbeheerstelsels van die BRICS-lande, te formuleer. Laasgenoemde lesse kan tot voordeel van elke land se onderwysbeheerstelsel strek. Verskeie bronne is geraadpleeg ten einde die doel van die navorsing te bereik. Die literatuurstudie sluit onder andere 'n dokumentanalise van wetgewings, beleide, artikels en staatspublikasies in. Ander tersaaklike literatuur is ook gebruik as bronne om die teoretiese begronding te staaf. Aan die einde van die artikel word verduidelik dat, in al die lidlande, strukture op die drie onderwysbeheervlakke saamgestel word en dat, hoewel die aard en rol van hierdie onderwysbeheerstrukture van mekaar verskil, die gemeenskaplike ideaal is om gelyke, toeganklike en lewenslange onderwysgeleenthede vir almal beskikbaar te stel.

Published: June 2018

To date, the problem of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) relapses due to the proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) progression remains unsolved, there is no single surgical treatment algorithm for retinal detachment, and even more so for its recurrence. The aim is to evaluate the structure of surgical care provided to patients with RD using extensive clinical material, taking into account different methods used, frequency of RD recurrences, frequency of reoperations. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in the vitreoretinal department of the Ophthalmological Center of the City Multifunctional Hospital No. 2 of St. Petersburg. 1502 cases of hospitalization for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment during 2015-2016 have been analyzed, results of surgical treatment have been assessed, number of relapses and frequency of reoperations have been established. Results. RD recurrence after surgical treatment occurs in 20.6% of patients, and vitrectomy is applied twice as often as extrascleral procedures. The use of endovitreal techniques is generally more effective than of extrascleral ones.

Published: June 2018

The pathology of upper lacrimal pathways associated with cicatrical strictures and obliteration, anatomical features of this zone is an essential problem of epiphora occurrence. The diseases of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses play a significant role in the etiopathogenesis of this kind of epiphora. The search of new methods of preventing or eliminating epiphora, also caused by rinological pathology, is reasonable.

Aim: To estimate the efficacy of drainage implant HEALAFLOW (Aptissen, Switzerland) in patients with complains on epiphora and concomitant nasal cavity pathology.

Material and methods. 29 patients (50 eyes) with complains on permanent (more than 6 months) epiphora were under the supervision. Ge nerally accepted ophthalmological, dacryological, rhinological examinations, including cone-ray computer tomography of the paranasal sinuses with preliminary contrast of the lacrimal pathways were carried out. Patients were divided into two groups. 15 people (28 eyes) composed the main group (I). 14 people (22 eyes) formed a control group (II). In I group the drainage implant HEALAFLOW (Aptissen, Switzerland) was inserted in 1 day after operation aimed on elimination of nasal cavity pathology. Patients of the II group instillation of Tobradex according to the scheme and moistening drops were prescribed.

Results. According to dacryological examination 29 patients (50 eyes) with complains on epiphora had normal passive lacrimal pathway passablness, but delayed or negative results of probes characterizing active passablness. All 29 patients had a rhinological pathology, which was eliminated by the otorhinolaryngologist with the operation at the first stage. In I group 9 patients noticed an increased epiphora immediately after the administration of HEALAFLOW in lacrimal pathway, which lasted during the first 24 hours after the procedure. Based on the results of the follow-up examination, after 3 months, all patients showed an improvement, expressed in the absence or decrease of epiphora. It should be noted that in the I group (after the insertion of the implant) the positive effect was more expressed. In the I group 12 of 15 patients didnt have epiphora and in 3 patients it decreased. In the II group 7 patients didnt have epiphora and in 6 patients it decreased.

Conclusion. Insertion of drainage implant HEALAFLOW in the lacrimal pathway after elimination of rhinological pathology in patients with complains on epiphora is safe, well tolerated and produces a positive drainage effect. This allows to recommend the implant to patients with tear-off device abnormality in the complex treatment of tear outflow disorders.

Griseofulvin has been the normal treatment for tinea capitis. However, newer antifungal agents, mainly terbinafine, are increasingly being used due to the short period of treatment and more reliable absorption rates. We pursued to compare the efficacy of oral terbinafine and oral griseofulvin in the treatment and management of tinea capitis. A systematic search of PubMed and the Cochrane Library was conducted up to July 2017 to recognize relevant trials. We also searched for additional trials included in published systematic reviews and bibliographies of all relevant studies comparing terbinafine and griseofulvin in the treatment and management of tinea capitis in immunocompetent patients. Five studies comprising 2035 subjects were included. There was no significant difference in efficacy between griseofulvin (mean duration of treatment 8 weeks, range 6-12 weeks) and terbinafine (mean duration of treatment 4 weeks, range 2-6 weeks); odds ratio=1.2 favoring terbinafine (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.79-1.9; p=0.4). Subgroup analysis revealed that terbinafine was more efficacious than griseofulvin in treating Trichophyton species (1.7; 95% CI=1.28-2.1; p<0.001) and griseofulvin was more efficacious than terbinafine in treating Microsporum species (0.4; 95% CI=0.3-0.7; p<0.001). Both griseofulvin and terbinafine demonstrated good safety profiles in the studies. The present meta-analysis recommends that terbinafine is more efficacious than griseofulvin in treating tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton species, while griseofulvin is more efficacious than terbinafine in treating tinea capitis caused by Microsporum species.

Yield and quality of some local black rice cultivars were low as the panicle in the same clump do not reach maturity at the same time. This research program utilized plants of three local black rice cultivars of “Mariana”, “Purwokerto”, and “Toraja”. The plants were planted in pots and placed under a plastic house. Some agronomic traits were measured, including number of productive tiller (NPT) and NPT with mature grains in the panicle>85% (NPT-85). Selected plants were determined by quadrant method of NPT-85 over NPT. After three selection cycles, the research reveals four potential accessions of Mariana-58.07.(10,17,21,28),Mariana-96.04 (11,15,23,33); Purwokerto-06.09(10,23,27), and Toraja-06.07(11,13,19). These four accessions called as Unsri P-1 to Unsri P-4, respectively. Field evaluation indicated, the accessions were able to produce high quality grain with NPT-85 over NPT ratio ranged from 87% to 95 %, and yield potential ranged from 6.16 to 8.81 dry un-hulled grain t/ha.

The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) using six herbicide treatments un weeded control and hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS with three replications. Maize was sown as test crop(variety –DHM-117).The soil samples were collected at 15 days intervals ie: 0, 15,30,45, 60, 75 and 90 days, to assay the enzyme activity. The pre-emergence herbicides were sprayed at zero days after sowing where post- emergence herbicides were sprayed after 15 days after sowing. The enzyme activity in the control increased from 0 days to 60 days and then decreased but the activity in the pre- emergence herbicide pendimethalin showed the same phase as that of control and showed higher activity over the control at each stage where as atrazine showed decrease in activity at 0 days (8.71) and latter it revoked the activity and reached maximum at 60 days (12.35). When compare to pendimethalin the activity was less at each and every stage. In case of post – emergence herbicides the activity showed mixed responses to at different stages Tembotrione showed higher activity when compare to Topramezone. In combination of Tembotrione and Topramezone with atrazine showed mixed responses.

Drought are serious threats on crop productivity losses than any other abiotic stress factor in rainfed agriculture. Influence of the drought using osmotic stress is the one of the best method for the evaluation of tolerance during the germination phase. Seeds of Twenty genotypes of groundnut imposed to osmotic stress (-10bars) of polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) in the laboratory condition. Based on low percent reduction recovery growth (%RRG) in shoot and root length most sensitive and tolerant 16 genotypes were selected. Further, moisture stress was imposed at 20-day-old seedlings at WW (100%FC), MS1 (70%FC), MS2 (30%FC)) under controlled conditions (greenhouse) different filed capacity. The harmful effects of moisture stress were more distinct in drought sensitive genotypes. High mean value of drought susceptibility indexes (DSI) for GPBD-4(G1), JL-24(G2) and KCG-6(G3) G1, G2 andG3 were identified as susceptible and NRCG12273 (G13), ICGV1562 (G15) and TMV-2(G16), G16, G15 and G13 recorded superior performance for less DSI under two soil moisture levels. High pod yield under stress environment due to its ability in maintaining pod number as well as total biomass. There was no significant difference between Pod yield and TDM under moisture stresses of DSI for G1, G2 and G3 genotypes.

Published: June 2018

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of graded concentrations of foliar applied growth retardants (cycocel and B-nine) on the growth and flowering of Chrysanthemum morifolium cv. Flirt. Uniform rooted cuttings raised in pot soil culture received spray applications of growth retardants viz., cycocel and B-nine prepared in 0.1% Tween 80. Cycocel was applied at 1000, 2500 and 5000 mgL-1, whereas B-nine was applied at 100, 250 and 500 mgL-1 concentrations. Plants were sprayed at 2 and 6 weeks after transplantation. Visual observations, plant height, fresh mass, dry mass, number of laterals, number of inflorescences and inflorescence diameter were recorded at periodic intervals. Cycocel treated plants recorded a significant increase in fresh and dry mass of whole plants, leaves and roots, whereas B-nine treated plants were comparable with the controls. Cycocel and B-nine treated plants showed early emergence of buds and inflorescences, whereas no significant effect was recorded on number of laterals. Cycocel application resulted in the increase in inflorescence number. The present results suggest that the treatment effect may be cultivar dependant as many other cultivars of chrysanthemums have been chemically tailored with desired effects using cycocel and B-nine.

Communicating human dignity in education (Notes on Romanian education system)
Authors: Pop Irina Mihaela , Baias Cosmin Constantin
Published: June 2018

The basic assumption of the paper is that the Romanian curricula reflects the opportunities created at the social level to embrace the values' principle of human dignity and to defend it as a defining value of contemporary civilisation. Firstly, looking for the curricula where the value is a topic and secondly, to interview the graduate students on what they learned in their education on the human dignity. Only some of the higher education syllabi in the programmes such as political sciences, theology, law and bio-ethics for medicine or philosophy open some windows to understand the deep implications of the value in our concrete life. But, even here, the human dignity's communication is incoherent. These programmes do not share a basic meaning and conclude into comparable recommendations. The human dignity's communication is also out of a project, systematically conducted, reported and adapted to the community's needs. The education must take action in doing it.

This study's objective is to find the impact of the type of questions asked in assessments on students' results and to measure their capacity of synthesis. Also, we had analysed students' answer related to exercise that is a part of the subject of the first control about thermochemistry concerning the first university level science of chemistry subject in 2014. The recorded results show that when useful figures are designed in enunciations, students have ability to move easily to the next stages and could find out easily adequate answers, but when the question is without indication, students are lost in the choice of the figures that are part of the exercise. This problem is concerning the majority of students in different levels. These results push us to prepare lecture for subjects of the national exam Bac: mathematics, chemistry and physics as well as tests and interviews to have an access to high schools in Morocco.

An educational perspective on the philosophy of Petre Paul Negulescu (1872â€“1951) at the Romania Centennialâ€™s (1918â€“2018)
Authors: Avram Virtop Sorin
Published: June 2018

A disciple of Titu Maiorescu (1840â€“1917), Petre Paul Negulescu, along with Constantin Radulescu-Motru (1868â€“1957) and Ion Petrovici (1882â€“1972), is regarded as being among the most prolific thinkers in Romanian modern thought and one of the founders of the modern Romanian culture. Historical changes he could never envisage have left their mark upon the perception, reception and interpretation of his work. The paper reviews the key characteristics of Petre Paul Negulescuâ€™s work as reflected in his studies on the origin of culture, the philosophy of Renaissance and two magnificent works, The History of Contemporary Philosophy and The Destiny of Humanity. The aim is to contextualise these works within the field of philosophy in terms of their sources, conceptual approach and hermeneutics. As well as furnishing the Romanian culture with a wealth of original thought, his pertinent analysis of social, economic, cultural and political changes, and his involvement in improving the educational system through his position as Minister of Instruction, have made him worthy of criticism and an outstanding reference point in times of revival.

Teaching vocabulary through mobile applications: A methodological classification of vocabulary applications on Google Play
Authors: Yavuz Fatih , Celik Ozgur
Published: June 2018

With the invention of smartphones, education has undergone a radical change in terms of its nature, techniques, principles and education policies. Smartphones are regarded as a distinctive milestone in the history of education. Mobile applications act as the main tool in the integration of smartphones into education. Among all mobile applications, the ones created for educational purposes, especially language instruction holds the lionâ€™s share in number. Similarly, among all language instruction applications, vocabulary applications significantly outnumber the others both in number and functionality. However, one of the main problems with vocabulary applications in application markets is that there is no exact classification of published applications and no set of methodological criteria in the publication process of applications, resulting in the emergence of a learning environment that lacks methodological background. The main objective of this study is to offer a methodological classification for the vocabulary applications in Google Play.

The sufficiency economy philosophy in King Bhumibolâ€™s initiative is a principle for the development of people especially their ideas and the relationship of adequate living, that is providing guidance on appropriate conduct covering numerous aspects of life. This construct is a new model in educational measurement in Thailand. This study tried to examine the construct validity of the measurement model by using the sufficient life skill (SLS) scale. The scale was used to measure the SLS of 599 Thai students studying in basic education level and the lie scale was applied to detect faking of test takers. The confirmatory factor analysis was utilised for comparing the two different models, holistic and specific models. The result showed consequence of construct validity of the better model. In addition, findings also supported the importance of applying lie scale for detecting faking responses. Theoretical implications are discussed.

Authors: Chiknaverova Karine
Published: June 2018

Teaching legal translation at university causes a number of challenges which are caused by linguistic and sociocultural characteristics of the corresponding original and translation texts and psycholinguistic peculiarities of the second language acquisition process. There are some aspects in teaching legal translation that are rarely under investigation, among them there are issues that arise when shifting from general English to legal translation teaching. The article aims to comprehensively analyse and classify errors that students make during the introductory course of legal translation as well as to reveal the causes thereof. The author is guided by a set of methods including inter alia analysis of research on errors made by foreign language learners, observation and representative method. It concludes with recommendations related to teaching legal translation at the introductory level, summarises sources, types of errors and the ways to minimise and avoid them.

Traditional use of wild edible food in rural territories within tropical forest zones: A case study from the northwestern Colombia
Authors: Asprilla-Perea Jeferson , Diaz-Puente Jose Maria
Published: June 2018

Traditionally, wild edible food has been important sources of nutrition to human populations in rural territories within tropical forest zones. This study provides new insights on ethnobiological knowledge about the traditional use of wild edible food in rural territories within tropical forest zones in northwestern Colombia. Moreover, this knowledge makes an important contribution to the process of planning accurate and sustainable actions to improve food security. Methods: This study was conducted with 12 rural communities living in places within tropical forest zones in northwestern Colombia (South America) and 153 key informants were interviewed. To estimate the importance of each food for the studied communities, a Smithâ€™s salience index was used. The results are presented in tables with absolute numbers and percentages. Results: Fifty- one food products provided by wild biodiversity were identified, the main ones being fruits, tubers, beef, eggs and fats. Fifty- three percent of them are food of plant origin and 47% of animal origin. These products are consumed either raw or boiled. However, they are also prepared using other cooking techniques. The most important edible foods of plant origin for the studied communities are the Borojo (Alibertia patioi), the Caimito (Pouteria caimito) and the Guayaba Agria (Psidium guajava), while those of animal origin are the Guagua (Cuniculus paca), the Guatin (Dasyprocta punctata) and the Venado (Mazama Americana). Conclusion: For these communities, the importance of wild edible food is not only related to a traditional consumption associated to flavour, hunting practices, cultivation nor their aphrodisiac properties but also relates to income-generating activities for subsistence. These findings suggest that once the foodâ€™s nutritional value and sustainable management practices are determined through science, technology and innovation processes, they could also be used as a feasible alternative for planning actions to improve food security in these territories.

Language is an individual phenomenon of a physiological and psychological nature, conditioned, of course, by the social existence of the individual. Both the lexical, semantic, and grammatical sides are accomplished through all the activities and factors adjacent to the instructive-educational process. Both language and speech have a social character, especially as in the process of communication, speech takes on an individual form. Language requires speech and vice versa. The process of speech has a social basis, because it primarily targets the inter-human understanding. The problem of functions is of the utmost importance in defining the essence of the language. The main and specific function of the language, its destination in society is to serve as a means of communication. Language disorders include various forms of manifestation, such as language disorders affecting pronunciation, speech rhythm and fluency, speech retardation disorders, polymorphic disorders (with neurological substrate), written-to-read language abnormalities. Proper pronunciation of sounds can be obtained when children are offered irreproachable speech patterns, accompanied by verbal explanations of how speech organs are used, how each sound is emitted. Through slow and precise articulation movements, children will succeed on the basis of imitation and explanation to gain a correct pronunciation.

Risk Management and Insurance Practices in Protecting the GCC Economies: Impact of Climate Change
Authors: Darwish Saad
Published: June 2018

Climate change can extremely influence the progress of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations by aggravating the burden on these states, hence, preventing them from accomplishing their economic progression. The extreme hotness and abridged precipitation will aggravate the water shortage and upsurge the occurrence of droughts. This would unfavorably influence the food production and deteriorate the present condition of food security and other related issues. The GCC area is anticipated to have more unembellished effects of Sea Level Upsurge than any other state. The current global warming has the potential of putting 6-25 million people and vital economic activities to coastal flooding. The area is one of the highly built-up states of the world. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges that humanity is facing, as it is not only a threat on biodiversity and food security, but is also impeding economic performance and growth. It is worth saying that climate threats are all interlinked. Good examples of the effects of climate change are: global temperature rise, warming oceans shrinking ice sheets, glacial retreat, decreased snow cover, rise in sea level, declining arctic sea, ice ocean acidification, and desertification. This paper focuses on giving attention to decision makers on the seriousness of these risks and to point out how risk management and insurance techniques can help in the survival of their economies. Furthermore, it also opened avenues for universities to get involved in this research area.
Lending and Cash Required Reserve: Empirical Evidence from Ethiopian Commercial Bank
Authors: Yimer Mitku Malede
Published: June 2018

The study was mainly intended to determine the effect of cash required reserve on commercial bank lending in Ethiopia using panel data of eight purposively chosen commercial banks over the period of eleven years (2005 to 2015). The investigation tested the relationship between commercial bank lending and cash required reserve. Eleven years financial data of eight purposively chosen commercial banks were used for analysis purpose. Ordinary least square model was applied to test the impact of predictor variable on commercial bank lending. The result suggests that, there is no significant relationship between commercial bank lending and cash required reserve in Ethiopian commercial. This study suggests that commercial bank have to give less emphasis to cash required reserve because it doesn’t weakens banks credit creation ability and does not leads a bank to be insolvent.
The Influence of Brand Image, Brand Trust, Product Quality, and Price on the Consumer’s Buying Decision of MPV Cars
Authors: Amron Amron
Published: June 2018

This paper focuses on testing the model of consumer’s buying decision of Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) cars. The research model involved four independent variables of brand image, brand trust, product quality and price; and the dependent variable of buying decision. The study found that the four independent variables were proven to be capable of positively and significantly influencing consumer’s decision in buying MPV cars. However, this study also found that, surprisingly, the variable of prices has the greatest effect compared with the other independent variables influencing consumer’s buying decisions. This study suggested to managements of companies not to only focus their efforts on improving brand image and brand trust from the consumers’ perspective, but to also strive to provide quality products at competitive prices.

Professional residency projects (PRP) have the theoretical knowledge and skills of the professional discipline of the students who develop them. Each professional residency project provides companies with viable opportunities and solutions that contribute to productivity. We sought to identify the influence between the application of the PRP and the changes in effectiveness and efficiency. This application affects the internal control and generates an organizational change. This paper analyzed some effects of the PRP through a descriptive and documentary study. The data collection instrument was validated through the Pearson correlation. The dependence between PRPs and the generation of productivity, change in internal control was calculated. The results obtained were generated with the chi-square statistical independence test. This test showed four variables that are more dependent on each other. The theoretical square chi of a pair of variables was graphed and the theoretical inverse function: p-value vs. square chi of 1 degree of freedom to observe the intersection. In conclusion, it was observed that the projects of professional residency influence in the internal control and the productivity of the companies via efficacy-efficiency.

The objective of the present investigation was to relate quality of life and dynamic balance in older adults. To this end, an intentional sample of older adults was taken from the gerontological centers of Chambo and Guano cantons, for which 35 people make up the control group (Chambo); while 71 people make up the intervention group (Guano). In order to reach the goal of the research, the quality of life was evaluated, through a pre-test called WHOQOL - BREF, followed by the Tinetti test that refers to the march - balance, ending with the Timed get up and go test, which determines the mobility measures of people who can walk on their own. To the intervention group, an exercise program was applied to improve the dynamic balance that lasted ten weeks. Finally, by means of a post test, the entire sample was evaluated, which allowed us to analyze whether there was an incidence. In other words, a slight improvement in both dynamic balance and gait after ten weeks of intervention was evidenced.

Published: June 2018

Poverty reduction is one of the greatest challenges facing international community and it is an invaluable requirement for sustainable development. This study was conducted to empirically examine the influence of socioeconomic as well as demographic variables on households’ vulnerability to social exclusion or deprivation with more emphasis on gender inequality. The study employed binary probit regression analysis of poverty as well as Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition to examine factors responsible for inequality with respect to socio-economic fortunes among Nigerian households. Evidence from the study revealed that socio-demographic variables as well as labor characteristics are strong determinants of poverty in the country, and the findings confirmed to the theoretical propositions on causes of poverty. However, empirical results from the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition show that female headed households are more disadvantaged in terms of socioeconomic deprivation than the male headed households. The study concluded by presenting concluding remarks and policy implications for policymakers toward poverty reduction in Nigeria.
Suelos Y Karst, Origen De Inundaciones Y Hundimientos En Chetumal, Quintana Roo, México

Published: June 2018

The Mexican Caribbean and its main cities have the highest population growth rate in Mexico. This work goal was to analyze the growth of the city of Chetumal and the geopedological characteristics in which it has been developed, to identify potential hazards and thereby improve development programs. The methodology consisted in the study of geopedological characteristics and the analysis of land use changes in the city over time. The main problems of Chetumal are floods and subsidence. Floods are more common in areas where Gleysols soils are found in low-lying areas. The subsidence is associated to Leptosols with a phreatic mantle at a shallow depth where the precipitations favors dissolution of rock. The extrapolation of the relationships between geopedological conditions and the area occupied by the city, allows us to suppose that areas which the current Urban Development Program proposes for future city expansion will develop the same problems of subsidence and flooding as the areas already built in sites with similar conditions.
