Alternativas de comercialización para la agricultura familiar. El caso de las ferias de la agricultura familiar en la Patagonia Argentina
Authors: Grinberg Ezequiel David
Published: October 2017

Durante los últimos años se han realizado en Argentina diversos esfuerzos para mejorar la situación de los pequeños productores familiares. Históricamente, un punto crítico para la actividad de estos sujetos sociales se vincula a la comercialización de sus productos, lo que deriva en obstáculos para la apropiación de la renta que genera su actividad. A raíz de ello, durante los últimos años se han gestado experiencias novedosas de comercialización de los productos de la agricultura familiar. Una de estas son las llamadas ferias de la agricultura familiar, que presentan una serie de ventajas en relación a otros canales tradicionales de comercialización. Este estudio presenta la experiencia de estas ferias en la Patagonia argentina, analizando algunas de sus características y resaltando sus aspectos más relevantes. Es notable que el desarrollo de las mismas resulta una alternativa importante para los pequeños productores de la región no solo por su significado respecto a las potencialidades económicas, sino también por sus implicaciones en términos de fortalecimiento de organización, relaciones y la visualización de ese sector hacia el resto de la sociedad.Producción Agropecuaria y Desarrollo Sostenible, Vol. 2, 2014: 57-79

La investigación se basó en determinar la eficiencia de los medios nutritivos basales (sólido y líquido) para el establecimiento in vitro de la orquídea “Tripita” T. tortilis Lindl., a través del número de semillas germinadas, la formación de protocormos y el desarrollo de vitro plantas.Se utilizó un fruto inmaduro (cápsula verde), con siete meses después de la floración; desinfectada en una solución jabonosa que contenía tres gotas de Tween 20, hipoclorito de sodio al 10% y 190ml de agua destilada. Las semillas se inocularon tomando una alícuota de 1ml que se depositó en cada frasco de vidrio; para ambos medios nutritivos se adicionó la misma cantidad (1ml) con 25 repeticiones por tratamiento. La toma de datos partió de un diseño completamente al azar, al cual se aplicó análisis de varianza.Producción Agropecuaria y Desarrollo Sostenible, Vol. 5, 2016: 43-57
Modelado de estrategias de labranza agrícola mecanizada para diversos cultivos mediante un algoritmo informático de toma de decisiones
Authors: Martínez Martínez Carlos Roberto
Published: October 2017

Considerando que la documentación aplicada a técnicas de labranza agrícola en El Salvador es limitada, pese al hecho que éstas son fundamentales para el establecimiento y éxito de cultivos que tienen fines de explotación económica, se desarrolló un algoritmo que fue capaz de elaborar planes de labranza con el fin de apoyar la toma de decisiones en dicho campo. En la preparación de suelos influyen muchas variables que interaccionan entre sí, tales como los distintos niveles de humedad, presencia de capas rocosas a diferentes profundidades, la textura del suelo y la profundidad de su capa fértil, los tipos de maquinaria, la extensión del área a cultivar, entre otros. La combinación matemática de todas estas variables dio como resultado una cantidad muy alta de opciones, por lo cual se estimó que es alta la posibilidad de que los cultivos tengan problemas dados el desconocimiento sobre el uso de maquinaria agrícola.El algoritmo llamado SIMA, por sus siglas de Simulador de Mecanización Agrícola fue dotado de una interfaz web desde la cual el usuario puede introducir las condiciones del campo; y el software, por su parte, fue capaz de realizar las validaciones y cálculos necesarios para proveer de un plan de labranza eficiente y confiable. Los servicios de dicho algoritmo están disponibles para los usuarios de internet a través del sitio web http://www.catolica.edu.sv/decanatos/iya/sima/Producción Agropecuaria y Desarrollo Sostenible, Vol. 5, 2016: 61-76
La filosofía en el mundo actual: La actualidad de la (alter) filosofía
Authors: Blanco Juan
Published: October 2017

This essay contains both a refection on the colonizing character of a part of Central American Philosophy and an exposition of its alternatives. The predominant philosophy reproduces the logic of “requerimiento”, masking it behind the rhetoric of salvation, modernization and revolution. This logic comes to the world in the Sixteenth Century and has been reproduced ever since through humanities and social sciences. As an alternative, we found the efforts of a thinking beyond the logic of “requerimiento” and its legitimizing rhetorics. The philosophical projects and the modes of refections by Rodolfo Kusch, in Argentina, and Carlos Lenkersdorf, in Southern México, are two models, though not the only ones, that embody an (alter) philosophy. The ongoing colonizing praxis of a “flosofía sin más” give renewed actuality to (alter) philosophiesRealidad: Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades No. 148, 2016: 113-141
Estética, historicismo y praxis política: Gramsci y el arte
Authors: Alfaro Salvador Orlando
Published: October 2017

The critical refections made by Antonio Gramsci on the feld of aesthetics consitute an important source for the study and interpretation of Art from a militant position of historical materialism. The central problem of Gramsci’s aesthetic theory is linked to his notion of historicity and of the relative autonomy of art. Inspite of its determination by culture, society and history, art is characterized by a “concrete historicity”. The degree of complexity of Gramsci’s approach, the relationship between aesthetic and political critique, and popular art and social transformation are the main themes with which the following discussion deals.Realidad: Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades No. 148, 2016: 81-96

Development of the nursing profession: From nursing angel to patient advocate
Authors: Silva-Sobrinho Reinaldo Antonio , Zilly Adriana , Porzsolt Franz
Published: October 2017

This reflection article deals with the nursing profession and its skills. The discussion begins with the birth of nursing and how it has advanced from the angel of nursing to scientific technical nursing in some parts of the world. The aim of this paper is to present a new kind of nurse, the patient advocate and its relation with clinical economics. The work of the “Patient Advocate” is based in the best health care, observing lower costs of resources, particularly those which affect the patient’s quality of life, and identifying and questioning the team’s decisions which are not supported by the principles of clinical economics. As a result, “Patient Advocate” is a proposal that encourages social actors to invest in the academic training of nursing personnel as well as in improving nurses’ clinical and methodological competency, proactivity, and leadership in relation to health care.

Published: October 2017

Background and objective: Assisting frail older adults in home care settings with personal hygiene is a daily nursing role. Both Nightingale and Henderson had in their approach to basic nursing focus on assisting patients in their need of nurse assisted bath. Since 1994 focus on using a new technology to patient in dependency of nurse-assisted bath was developed. A clinical study involving older adults in need of nurse-assisted bath was carried out in a public homecare setting. This study aimed to study and compare older adults’ attitudes, experiences and evaluation of using traditional bath with soap and water versus prepacked products to their personal hygiene.Methods: A number of 20 men and women participated in our research with focus on their daily need of nurse-assisted bath. The older adults had given a written consent. All participants were informed about the study verbally and in writing and they all agreed to participate and signed written informed consent forms. All data were handled confidentially, and the participants’ anonymity was assured. A clinical study was carried out. During three weeks, the older adults had nurse- assisted bath with soap and water two days followed by two days using prepacked was-cloths. The same nurse assisted the older adults all days, and they were interviewed before the research. Relevant data as age, gender, bath facilities at home, walking ability, dependency on help from others, contact to family/friends were collected. In the research period the older adults’ self-reported experiences with the two types of baths were registered. The nurses observed the baths with focus on the older adults’ attitude, satisfaction and experiences.Results and conclusions: The patients preferred to have their own individual choice of daily bath type. Pre-packed wash-cloths were overall preferred by the nurses.

De exceptio plurium litis consortium in erfrechtelijke procedures

Op 10 maart 2017 heeft de Hoge Raad een arrest gewezen, naar aanleiding waarvan het maar de vraag is of de exceptio plurium litis consortium in de toekomst nog wel met succes kan worden ingeroepen in een dagvaardingsprocedure wanneer er sprake is van een processueel ondeelbare rechtsverhouding. Aan het arrest liggen twee redenen ten grondslag: een doelmatige rechtspleging en overeenstemming met de verzoekschriftprocedure. In deze bijdrage wordt aan de hand van de KEI-wetgeving gezocht naar een mogelijke verklaring voor deze koerswijziging van de Hoge Raad. De auteur vindt een mogelijke verklaring in de toekomstige invoering van één uniforme procedure, ingeleid door een procesinleiding.
Surface morphology of wheels in rail
vehicles in urban transport
Authors: Paczkowska M. , Wojciechowski Ł. , Piasecki A.
Published: October 2017

Purpose: The general purpose of presented research was evaluation of surface morphology
of chosen tram wheels: LUCCHINI (of Siemens Combino tram), PST (of Moderus Beta tram),
and GT no 1 (of Duewag tram) operating in Poznan agglomeration.
Design/methodology/approach: 3D surface profile study, macro and microscopic
research with light and scanning electron microscopes, and Vickers hardness measurements
were done.
Findings: Wear effects were observed on the rolling surface, as well on the surface of the
top of the wheel flange. Rolling contact fatigue was dominant type of wear. Abrasion was
also noticed, especially on the top of the wheel flange. Changes in the surface layer were
also noticed, like sever plastic deformation as: overhangs, flattened grains and delamination.
Plastic deformation was the reason of hardness increase. Though the rolling surface is the
surface responsible for the load transfer, more plastically deformed was the surface layer of
the top of the wheel flange. Although investigated wheels was operated in different trams
wear effects were similar.
Research limitations/implications: The research represents part of a project
considering identification of phenomena occurring in the contact zone between tram
wheel and the rail funded by the National Centre for Research and Development of the
LIDER program. Further research should concentrate on designing of the new wheel (new
profile and modified material).
Practical implications: On the base of performed research it also was possible to
determine some suggestions in the order to extend tram wheel life.
Originality/value: The surface morphology of tram wheels has been describe quantitatively
on the base of 3D roughness parameters. Main type of wear that dominate in case of chosen
tram wheels in Poznan agglomeration was identified. Main material changes in the surface
layer were described in those wheels.
Influence of substrate temperature on
adhesion of thermally sprayed Ni-5%Al
coatings
Authors: Ostrowski D. , Starosta R.
Published: October 2017

Purpose: In the paper effect of pre-heating the steel substrate on the adhesion of thermally
sprayed Ni-5%Al alloy coatings was presented. The reason for the topic was the discrepancy
between the literature data on the effect of the preheating of the substrate on the adhesion
of the coatings and the guidelines of the coating material manufacturer.
Design/methodology/approach: As a coating material the ProXon 21021 was used.
It is an alloy of nickel aluminium and molybdenum. This material is often used during the
regeneration of machine parts in the shipbuilding industry. The coatings by flame spraying
using the Casto-Dyn DS 8000 torch were obtained. The samples were made of steel C45.
The specimens to which the coating was applied were characterized by a similar surface
roughness. Before applying the coatings, the samples were preheated to a temperature
of 50 to 400°C. The coatings tested were similar in thickness. Adhesion strength of the
coatings was determined by the pull-off method.
Findings: The quantitative comparative assessment of the adhesion strength of thermally
sprayed coatings can be implemented by a pull-off. The highest value of adhesion strength
for coatings applied on substrates of 50, 300 and 400°C was found. Considering that the
technical thermally sprayed coatings of Ni-5% Al, often require an additional machining, they
must be applied to the steel substrate surface at 50°C.
Research limitations/implications: The adhesion test of the coatings has not
been executed in accordance with the requirements of PN-EN 582 Thermal spraying -
Determination of tensile adhesive strength. Therefore, the quantitative results obtained are
only comparative.
Practical implications: The results obtained show that the regeneration coatings of
ProXon 201021 material should only be applied to pre-heated by flame (among other things,
to degrease the surface of the substrate) to a temperature of approximately 50°C. At the time
the coatings are characterized by the greatest adhesion to the steel substrate.
Originality/value: The study demonstrated the usefulness of cheaper method of pull-offs
to evaluate the adhesion of flame sprayed coatings. The results show that there is no need
for a pre-heating of the substrate between 150 and 250°C before thermal spraying. This
article may be useful for technologists designing the process of regeneration of machine
parts using flame spraying.

POTENTIAL UTILIZATION OF LEGUMES IN FEED PRODUCTION
IN POLAND
Authors: Florek Joanna
Published: October 2017

The aim of the article was to display current production state of vernacular legumes and potentiality of using it as
the source of protein in animal feed. In attaining this objective the GUS statistical materials and IERiGŻ-PIB reports
were employed. Furthermore, the comparative account profitability of domestic production was conducted. The analysis
encompassed years between 2003 and 2016. Additionally, empirical research was conducted, involving homesteads
located across the country and occupying themselves with producing leguminous crops. The study revealed that to
increase interest in manufacturing seeds of legumes and thereby its supply on the fodder market, essential is to take
measures leading to an effortless sale. Aforementioned aspect, in addition to financial gain – is the prime factor taken
into account during making the decision regarding crop production. Agricultural producents, being aware of immense
difficulty with which selling legumes seeds is associated, at the time of plantations consider it a previous cropping for
other crops and consequently ploughing plantation before crop establishment.
CASH SALE OF PEANUTS AMONG SMALL FARMERS
IN THE NORTHERN REGION OF GHANA
Authors: Florkowski Wojciech , Motouri Walter , Ibrahim Mohammed , Kolavalli Sashidhara
Published: October 2017

Small farmers grow peanuts to feed their families and to sell a portion of the crop to raise cash
to pay, among others, their children school fees. The dual nature of peanut crop has been recognized,
but not rigorously examined. The amount of sold peanuts depends on a number of factors and varies by
location. This paper specifies an empirical relationship modeling the volume of sold peanuts using the
survey data collected among small farmers in northern Ghana. The truncated nature of the dependent
variable, the number of sold bags of peanuts, led to the application of the Tobit model. Among variables
significantly influencing the number of sold bags are respondent and farm characteristics, prices, and
general features of the environment in which a farmer sells peanuts, including distance to markets and
credit access. Farmers choose to store peanuts rather than selling them at harvest because prices tend to
increase, although by a small amount.
TAX BURDENS AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR EQUALIZING FARM INCOMES
Authors: Gołasa Piotr
Published: October 2017

The aim of the article was to present the issue of income inequality among agricultural holdings and
the importance of the current system of taxation of agricultural activities for their equalization. This study
was based on data collected from 573 agricultural holdings from Mazowieckie, Lubelskie, Podlaskie and
Lodzkie. Gini coefficient was used to determine income differentiation. It was found that the examined
farms are characterized by high income diversification (Gini coefficient – 0.672). The tax burden on farm
incomes is at a low level of 3.8% and 77% of these burdens is agricultural tax. The agricultural tax system
does not fulfill the redistributive function and even slightly increases the income gap. However, in the
opinion of the surveyed farmers, the problem of income differentiation is not significant from their point
of view, and the state should not take any additional measures to offset income. Possible changes should
relate to the system of support of agriculture rather than its taxation.

DIFFERENTIATION OF PREFERENCES AND ATTITUDES OF CONSUMERS
OF FRUIT AND THEIR PRODUCTS DEPENDING ON AGE AND INCOME
Authors: Jąder Karolina
Published: October 2017

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of characteristics such as age and income on the
preferences and behaviors of fruit consumers. The analysis was based on primary data from a survey,
conducted among 300 people, who were shopping in Poznań. Age and income differentiated the preferences
and behavior of fruit consumers. The frequency of consumption of these products increased with the
increase of income. The most consumption was found in the oldest and middle-aged. Consumers consumed
fruit mainly because of their health benefits, and the oldest group and the people with lowest income paid
also often attention to the price. The consumers, regardless of their distinguishing characteristics, bought
most often fruit in hypermarkets. The youngest and wealthiest consumers liked more than other groups
to buy fruit in groceries.
ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY OF COOPERATIVE BANKS
IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOW INTEREST RATES
Authors: Kata Ryszard
Published: October 2017

The economic and financial efficiency of co-operative banks in Poland was analyzed in the context of low NBP interest
rates. The analysis covered the years 2012-2016. It has been shown that low interest rates make it difficult for cooperative
banks to maintain high economic and financial efficiency. Cooperative banks reacted to falling interest rates, but the
reversal, the negative trend in their financial performance, will require changes in their business model and strengthen
intra-group integration to reduce the operating costs of banks.

Knowledge Aware Engineering
Authors: Hepinstall Lisa , Burek Greg , Dlugokecki Victoria
Published: October 2017

The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of knowledge aware engineering (KAE) and explain how it can provide competitive advantage by ensuring all relevant "Design for ‘X’" disciplines are effectively infused into ship design and manufacturing processes. KAE provides "awareness" and delivery of relevant corporate technical memory to engineers and designers at the point of decision, enabling them to make quality decisions within a more efficient engineering process. With KAE, digital representations of Product and Manufacturing Processes are driven by, and infused with, the technical expertise, which continually evolves within engineering intensive firms. The Retained Know-How is accumulated, consolidated, and managed as an asset and delivered into context, ready to be reused in closed-loop decision support. As a result, passive "reference shelf"-type paradigms for managing and transferring the technical know-how, which rely on an individual to initiate searches, are avoided. Disparate repositories, tools, and documents that manage knowledge are unified into a single, visible, and engaging knowledge process.

1. Introduction

Ship owners continue to face the challenges of escalating costs associated with designing, building, operating, and maintaining government and commercial assets over their full life cycle. At the same time, ships are becoming more complex with advancing technologies, increasing regulations and requirements, and restricting design strategies. Today, engineers must look at the entire system, beyond the typical functional design boundaries, and address an expanding, interrelating complexity of systems within systems, whose boundaries continue to broaden with unintended consequences and challenges. They must balance increased requirements to optimize the design across Systems Engineering disciplines, such as Design for Production, Design for Maintenance, Design for Quality, and Design for Safety, to name a few. For many of these Design for "X" specialties, the designer or engineer relies on design standards and input from subject matter experts often without a full understanding of the integration issues associated with these fields. During design, many of these are in conflict with each other, requiring a method for balancing these conflicts to increase the optimization of the design. This article showcases how other engineering intensive industries, such as aerospace and automotive industries, have leveraged proven methodologies to streamline the complex information flow and create knowledge-aware engineers to significantly improve the quality of design decisions and optimize the ship design across multiple objectives. If the designer does not get it correct, then many aspects of production and operations can be negatively impacted, costing money and time. This article will address the following:Current Ship Design and Shipbuilding ChallengesFlawed Approach to Knowledge Management (KM)Tenets of Knowledge Aware Engineering (KAE)KAE Maturity ModelsApplication of KAEImplementation of Best Practices

Published: October 2017

There is a great deal of misinformation regarding resources available to and obstacles faced by survivors of torture (SOTs) in the United States. A key reason for this is the fact that much of the dialogue centers on the perceived burden of immigration. This rhetoric does not accurately communicate the resources available to refugees and asylum seekers in the US. Since public opinion has, historically, played an influential role in shaping immigration law, creating more effective public policy requires discourse to be rooted in fact.
Rendement économique et rémunération des instituteurs
Authors: St-Laurent Jacques
Published: October 2017

Cette étude a pour objet d'établir dans quelle mesure la structure actuelle de la rémunération des instituteurs de la province de Québec permet dassurer la réalisation de certains objectifs. Ces objectifs sont déterminés par l'équité et l'intérêt commun. L'analyse des faits révèle qu'il existe certaines discriminations inacceptables dans la rémunération des instituteurs et que notre expansion économique et la maîtrise de nos destinées sont compromises par des déficiences dans le « capital humain » dont la province dispose. Dans ces circonstances, il devient nécessaire de rétablir l'équité et d'améliorer la valeur de notre « capital humain ». A cette fin, l'auteur a indiqué certaines des mesures qu'il faudrait prendre.

Réflexions sur nos corporations professionnelles
Authors: Cardin Jean-Réal
Published: October 2017

L'auteur se propose, dans la présente étude de réexaminer à la fois la nature, le rôle et les déficiences de nos corporations professionnelles face aux exigences sociales actuelles. Il souligne d'abord certaines équivoques entourant la notion même de corporation chez nous et indique certains problèmes d'organisation sociale découlant de ces équivoques. Il s'efforce d'expliquer une telle situation à l'aide de données historiques et de replacer nos institutions corporatives dans une perspective plus conforme à la réalité présente. Pour ce faire, il étudie nos corporations professionnelles selon leurs relations avec le syndicalisme, les universités et l'Etat. Il mentionne enfin la socialisation irréversible de nos corporations professionnelles et suggère les attitudes à adopter devant un tel avènement.

Structure des organisations du travail Suédois
Authors: Doucet René
Published: October 2017

En Suède, le marché du travail est caractérisé par la bonne entente dans les relations patronales-ouvrières et par un équilibre stable des forces en présence.

Rares sont les grèves et les « lockouts » en Suède, et ceci est dû principalement à ce que les organisations patronales et ouvrières se font face avec une force relativement égale et à ce quelles se rencontrent avec un rare degré de confiance mutuelle qui leur permet non seulement de négocier entre elles leurs différends, mais aussi de créer des institutions mutuelles de sécurité dans des domaines d'intérêts communs.

Si toutefois les organisations ouvrières et patronales suédoises ont atteint cette maturité remarquable dans leurs relations, c'est à la suite d'une expérience de trente années de luttes parfois acerbes.
Les Syndicats dans la vie américaine - ( I )
Authors: Dale Leon A.
Published: October 2017

L'importance du mouvement syndical aux États-Unis se manifeste par le nombre de ses adhérents, par la puissance des syndicats particuliers, et par leurs activités, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur du pays. Le rôle du mouvement syndical ne s'arrête pas à la lutte pour l'obtention de salaires plus élevés ni à celle tendant à la reduction des heures de travail. Par l'intermédiaire des dirigeants de leur centrale, les syndicats sont à même d'influencer non seulement la législation du pays mais aussi son application.

Nous traiterons exclusivement des activités de l'AFL, du CIO (et de l'AFL-CIO) étant donné le rôle primordial joué par ces organisations et le fait qu'elles représentent 90% du mouvement syndical américain. Dans notre discussion, nous avons essayé d'établir une différence entre le rôle politique, économique et social des syndicats, quoique :

« Les travailleurs et le pays ne sont pas séparés. Le groupe le plus large du public est celui des salariés et de leur familles. Le progrès de la communauté est donc intimement lié au progrès du bien-être chez les salariés. Tout ce que font les syndicats pour obtenir de meilleurs salaires, un emploi plus stable, et de plus grands loisirs, contribue à faire progresser le niveau de vie du pays tout entier et lui permet de croître. Les régions où les travailleurs ont les meilleurs salaires et les metileures conditions de travail sont les plus prospères. Au sein dun pays, des salaires plus élevés signifient de meilleures affaires... Faire de notre pays un meilleur endroit pour vivre a été un des buts les plus importants de l'A.F.L. depuis son établissement. En tant qu'organisation ouvrière, notre préoccupation n'a pas été restreinte au bien-être seul des ouvriers. Depuis le début, nous avons proposé et soutenu des programmes et une politique destinés à élever le niveau de vie général, à fournir une meilleure organisation de la communauté, et à étendre les services dont la communauté a besoin. »

Dans cette déclaration typique, notez l'accent mis sur le bien-être général du public, bien-être qui dépend de la vitalité et des efforts du mouvement syndical.

Some Unfinished Business in the Professionalization of the Personnel Man
Authors: Hall Oswald
Published: October 2017

Personnel men tend to define themselves as professionals. To find out whether they are justified in so doing, the Author describes the earmarks of a profession: specialization, spécific and unstandardized nature of the service to the client (who is more than just a customer), episodic and direct relationship between professional and client. With such criteria in hand, the Author argues that it is improbable that personnel work can be practised along the lines of a professional model; the bureaucratic model here appears more relevant.

L'évaluation des tâches
Authors: Deschênes Jean-Paul
Published: October 2017

Quoique l'évaluation des tâches soit une technique de plus en plus utilisée dans nos entreprises, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'elle est souvent peu comprise de ceux qui l'appliquent, la défendent ou la combattent. De plus, bien des systèmes ont mal fonctionné ou tout simplement échoué parce qu'on attendait d'eux des résultats qu'ils ne pouvaient ou ne devaient pas produire.

Authors: Dion Gérard
Published: October 2017

In the following essay, the Author analyses the nature of property in the modern business enterprise and the nature of authority. He concludes that, although property may be considered as a legitimate mode of designation of those in authority, it is not the sole foundation. Management's right are not permanently established; they can change and effectively do change with the times and circumstances.
