Evidence of Solar-cycle-related Structural Changes in the Solar Convection Zone
Authors: Basu Sarbani
Published: August 2021

While it has been relatively easy to determine solar-cycle related changes in solar dynamics, determining changes in structure in the deeper layers of the Sun has proved to be difficult. By using helioseismic data obtained over two solar cycles, and sacrificing resolution in favor of lower uncertainties, we show that there are significant changes in the solar convection zone, and perhaps even below it. Using Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) data, we find a relative squared sound-speed difference of (2.56 ± 0.71) × 10−5 at the convection-zone base between the maximum of solar Cycle 23 and the minimum between Cycles 23 and 24. The squared sound-speed difference for the maximum of Cycle 24 obtained with Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) data is (1.95 ± 0.69) × 10−5. Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) data support these results. We also find that the sound speed in the solar convection zone decreases compared to the sound speed in the layers below it as the Sun becomes more active. We find evidence of changes in the radial derivative of the sound-speed difference between the solar minimum and other epochs at the base of the convection zone, implying possible small changes in the position of the convection-zone base; however, the results are too noisy to make any definitive estimates of the change.

Published: August 2021

The short-period variable star MG1-688432 has been discovered to exhibit occasional extremely high energy optical outbursts as high as 1038 erg. Outbursts are typically several hours in duration. These events are often highly structured, resembling sequential associated releases of energy. Twenty years of time sequence photometry are presented, indicating a basic sinusoidal light curve of mean period 6.65 days, with some phase shifting and long-term temporal trends in amplitude and mean brightness. Spectroscopy reveals a peculiar star, best resembling a K3 subgiant that has evolved off the main sequence moderately redward of the giant branch. Spectroscopic and radial velocity analyses indicate a binary system orbiting its barycenter with an unseen companion to the K3 IV primary. This is not an eclipsing system, with the inclination of the orbit precluding eclipse by the secondary. The system is at a distance of 1.5 kpc, and analysis of Gaia observations leads to the conclusion that the H-R diagram position of MG1-688432 is established by an intrinsic feature of the system, most likely either the stellar evolutionary state of the observed star or the presence of small (nongray) dust within the system. Two mechanisms (or combinations thereof) that might give rise to characteristics of the system are (1) magnetically induced chromospheric activity and (2) impacts with tidally disrupted planetary debris.
Volatility of Sodium in Carbonaceous Chondrites at Temperatures Consistent with Low-perihelion Asteroids

Published: August 2021

Solar system bodies with surface and subsurface volatiles will show observational evidence of activity when they reach a temperature where those volatiles change from solid to gas and are released. This is most frequently seen in comets, where activity is driven by the sublimation of water, carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide ices. However, some bodies (notably the asteroid (3200) Phaethon) show initiation of activity at very small heliocentric distances, long after they have reached the sublimation temperatures of these ices. We investigate whether the sodium present in the mineral matrix could act as the volatile element responsible for this activity. We conduct theoretical modeling which indicates that sodium has the potential to sublimate in the conditions that Phaethon experiences, depending on the mineral phase it is held in. To test this, we then exposed samples of the carbonaceous chondrite Allende to varying heating events, similar to what would be experienced by low-perihelion asteroids. We measured the change in sodium present in each sample and find that the highest temperature samples show a significant loss of sodium from specific mineral phases over a single heating event, comparable to a day on the surface of Phaethon. Under specific thermal histories possible for Phaethon, this outgassing could be sufficient to explain this object’s observed activity. This effect would also be expected to be observed for other low-perihelion asteroids as well and may act as a critical step in the process of disrupting small low-albedo asteroids.
Exploring the Potentiality of Family Resources on Basic Household Sanitation Management in Dense Settlements of Binjai in North Sumatera Province of Indonesia
Authors: Naria Evi , Santoso Heru , Rochadi Kintoko , Nurmaini Nurmaini
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Community empowerment-based sanitation development by prioritizing participation has been implemented; however, it still shows insignificant progression. Even though the family is the manager of basic sanitation starting from the household, personal empowerment, and family participation miss from the focus of attention.

AIM: This study thus aimed to develop a participatory model of family empowerment in the management of basic sanitation at the household level.

METHODS: This type of qualitative research employed a participatory action research approach. It involved stakeholders who managed sanitation as the informants and 30 families who fulfilled the criteria namely having children over 10 years old and having no assistants as the participants. The data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, focus group discussion, and documentation. The basic sanitation includes water supply, latrines, garbage, and household waste was also examined to support the data obtained. The data were then analyzed by applying Miles and Huberman flows.

RESULTS: It was found that household sanitation management was potentially implemented by managing family resources, sources of information and knowledge, motivation in family empowerment, and household sanitation support facilities. Sanitation management actions were carried out by assistance and division of tasks to family members accounting for 80%–100%. Conditions of basic sanitation in households thus were significantly better after the implementation of the sanitation management.

CONCLUSION: The basic sanitation management model can be improved based on participatory family empowerment by employing assistance and the division of tasks to family members. This model also can be applied both at the local and national level and can become a guide for sustainable short or medium-term sanitation development.

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Carica papaya leaves (Carica papaya L) have been used empirically and traditionally as a galactogogue, but their mechanism as galactogogue is still unknown. AIM: This study aimed to analyze the effect of ethanol extract from papaya leaves on blood prolactin levels, prolactin receptor (prlr) gene expression, the number of breast alveoli and lobes of lactating rats. METHODS: This in vivo true experimental study with a post-test control group design was conducted on 24 rats with the same lactating period. They were divided into four groups consisting of six rats each. The control group was given daily standard food, whereas the three treatment groups were, respectively, given additionally ethanol extract of 0.95 mg, 1.9 mg, and 3.8 mg/200 g BW/day from day 1 to day 14 of lactation. On day 14, all of the rats were sacrificed, blood prolactin levels were measured by ELISA, prlr gene expressions were measured using RT-PCR, and numbers of breast alveoli and lobes were microscopically observed through staining histological specimens. A statistical analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA, Tukey's test, Games–Howell test, and path analysis at 95% confidence level. RESULTS: Levels of blood prolactin levels, prlr gene expression, the number of breast alveoli, and lobes of all treatment rat groups were significantly above those of the control group (p < 0.05). The increases of all parameters were consistent; the most effective dose was 1.9 mg/200 g BW. CONCLUSION: The Carica papaya leaf ethanol extract had a galactogogue effect on lactating rats by increasing blood prolactin levels, prlr gene expression, and numbers number of breast alveoli and lobes.

Published: August 2021

The hill stream loach genus Indoreonectes is endemic to peninsular India south of the Satpura hill ranges and is represented by three species I. evezardi, I. keralensis and I. telanganaensis. Indoreonectes evezardi has been suggested as a species complex based on recent genetic studies; however, due to lack of type material the species delimitation has been difficult. Here we redescribe I. evezardi collected from its type locality and describe two new species from the northern Western Ghats of India. Indoreonectes neeleshi, described from Mula River tributary of Godavari river system, can be diagnosed from all its congeners based on a combination of characters: inner rostral barbel reaching middle of nostril; maxillary barbel reaching midway between eye and posterior border of operculum; dorsal hump behind nape; bars on lateral side of the body wider than inter-bar space; total vertebrae 35 and dorsal fin insertion between 13th and 14th abdominal vertebrae. Indoreonectes rajeevi, described from Hiranyakeshi River of the Krishna river system, differs from all its congeners based on a combination of characters: inner rostral barbel reaching anterior margin of eye; maxillary barbel reaching posterior border of operculum; conspicuous black markings on lower lip, dorsal hump absent; total vertebrae 36 and dorsal fin insertion between 12th and 13th abdominal vertebrae. Further, I. neeleshi differs from its congeners by the raw genetic distance of 6.8–14.4% for the cox1 gene and 5.7–16.2% for the cytb gene, while I. rajeevi differs from its congeners by the raw genetic distance of 10.9–14.0% for the cox1 gene and 11.8–15.8% for the cytb gene.
A sliding window algorithm for energy distribution system with storage

This work is devoted to study optimization problems arising in energy distribution systems with storage. We consider a simplified network topology organized around four nodes: the load aggregator, the external grid, the consumption and the storage. The imported power from the external grid should balance the consumption and the storage variation. The merit function to minimize is the total price the load aggregator has to pay in a given time interval to enforce this balance.

Two optimization problems are considered. The first one is linear and standard. It can be solved through classical optimization methods. The second problem is obtained from the previous one by taking into account a power subscription, which makes it piecewise linear. We establish mathematical properties on both these models.

Finally, a new method based on a sliding window algorithm is derived. It allows to reduce drastically the computational time and makes feasible real time simulations. Numerical results are performed on real data to highlight both models and to illustrate the performance of the sliding window algorithm.

Published: August 2021

Our goal was to examine how total, average (heat production rate per unit mass) and marginal (the increase in the heat production rate per unit increase in mass) rates of basal heat production changed as mass increased in growing humans. Specifically, our hypotheses were that the marginal basal heat production rate did not decrease monotonically as humans grew; and that an energetically optimal mass, one at which the average basal heat production rate of a growing human was minimal, existed. Marginal rates of heat production were estimated and six potential models to describe the effect of mass during human growth on basal heat production rate were evaluated using a large, meticulously curated, dataset from the literature. Marginal rates of heat production were quadratically related to body mass during growth; they declined initially, reached a minimum, and then increased. This suggested that the relationship between basal heat production rate and mass was cubic. Of the six potential models evaluated, a three-parameter cubic polynomial best described the data. Marginal rates of heat production were minimal for 56-kg females and 62-kg males. Basal heat production rates per unit mass of a growing human were minimal (i.e., energetically optimal) for 83-kg females and 93-kg males; the average masses of U.S. adults have been increasing and approaching these optima over the last 60 yr.

Authors: Yazidi Youness El , ELLABIB Abdellatif
Published: August 2021

The aim of this work is to reconstruct the depletion region in pn junction. Starting with famous drift diffusion model, we establish the simplified equation for the considered semiconductor. There we call the shape optimization technique to formulate a minimization problem from the inverse problem at hand. The existence of an optimal solution of the optimization problem is proved. The proposed numerical algorithm is a combined Domain Decomposition method with an efficient hybrid conjugate gradient guided by differential evolution heuristic algorithm, the finite element method is used to discretize the state equation. At the end we establish several numerical examples, to prove the validity of theoretical results using the proposed algorithm, in addition we show some simulation of the depletion region approximation under two different functioning modes.
Novel Ideas for Thermal Management of Filament LED Light Bulbs
Authors: Maaspuro Mika
Published: August 2021

The thermal conditions of a filament LED retro light bulb has been investigated. In such light bulbs, LEDs are mounted on filaments which have glass or sapphire substrate and are surrounded by yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG). Heat management is challenging as a heatsink cannot normally be used. Instead, heat removal is enabled by using helium as the filling gas. As this provides less efficient heat removal than using a heatsink attached directly to an LED module, LEDs operate in filament LED bulbs typically at rather high temperatures. In this paper thermal performance of a typical filament LED bulb has been studied. LED temperatures and gas flows inside the bulb has been resolved for cases of different orientations of the bulb. Thermal conditions for different filling gases have been resolved. All this has been done using finite element method (FEM) simulations. The main target of this study has been to find out novel solutions for thermal management of filament LED bulbs. Two heat removal solutions have been studied, namely the use of an internal heatsink and an internal piezoelectric oscillating cantilever fan. The results show that solutions can indeed reduce temperature of LED chips and increase the lifespan of the LED bulb.
Fragmentation interaction with underground mining systems and productivity
Authors: Scoble M J , Lizotte Y C , Singh A , Hendricks C , Mohanty B
Published: August 2021

Optimization of blast fragmentation in underground hardrock mining requires analysis of its effects on loading and haulage equipment, together with the downstream materials handling system, with the objective of minimizing total mine operating costs. A
methodology is reported which has been developed to quantify the actual fragmentation and equipment performance in the field. This is data which has seldom been practicable to capture nor received serious attention in mines. Based upon the experience gained in underground studies, a prototype
standard is proposed which aims to summarize the pertinent data, collection and analysis for fragmentation assessment. This relates to parameters of direct measure, such as mean size and distribution, as well as muckpile and work environment. The paper concludes by defining the impact of
fragmentation on the loading and downstream handling system.
Freezing of backfilled pillars in permafrost effect of filling rates and adjacent airways
Authors: Knight G
Published: August 2021

The objective is to examine means of freezing pillar backfill to eliminate the need for leaving a small remnant pillar between the blocks of ore when recovering the main pillars. It is shown that it is possible to develop frozen layers about 2 metres thick by
waiting 6 months after filling before mining the next block of pillar ore. It is also possible to freeze thin layers against the ore block. A 0.5 metre layer freezes in less than a day and a thick enough layer for support could be built up in the back filling period. This could be developed as a
method of disposing of thickened tailings underground rather than the existing underwater disposal. Two other methods of developing a frozen pillar backfill are also suggested.
Full waveform analysis at Kidd Creek Mine - progress report
Authors: Laverdure L , Plouffe M
Published: August 2021

A three-component geophone linked to a portable seismograph was installed at Kidd Creek Mine, Timmins, to register the seismic energy released during rockburst activity. Two hundred and eleven seismic events were collected over a forty-four day survey. The
recorded waveforms will be analyzed later.
Because the results obtained by the source location program developed by CANMET are questionable, it was decided that both CANMET and Kidd Creek Mines would verify their respected systems. After accurate source locations are determined, rockburst related parameters such as the peak particle velocity
(ppv), peak particle acceleration (ppa), energy, and attenuation will be evaluated.

PurposeWe aimed to assess the real-world efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in metastatic breast cancer patients.Materials and MethodsThis is a retrospective study performed in two tertiary referral hospitals in Korea. Patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) between March 2016 and March 2020 were enrolled.ResultsA total of 102 patients with metastatic breast cancer were included. Patients were heavily pre-treated with a median of four prior lines of chemotherapy (5 lines when including endocrine therapy in hormone-receptor-positive patients), and 66 patients (64.7%) were exposed to taxanes in the metastatic setting. According to St. Gallen molecular subtypes, 36 patients (35.3%) were luminal A, 28 (27.5%) were luminal B, 18 (17.7%) were human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive and 20 (19.6%) had triple-negative disease. Fifty patients (49.0%) were treated with a 3-weekly regimen (260 mg/m2 on day 1 every 3 weeks), and 52 (51.0%) were treated with a weekly regimen (100 mg/m2 every week). Objective response rate was 22.9%. After a median follow-up of 22.0 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6 to 4.8) and median overall survival was 8.7 months (95% CI, 7.5 to 11.2). Patients treated with weekly regimen had longer PFS compared to 3-weekly regimen (5.5 vs. 2.3 months, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed the treatment regimen as an independent prognostic factor for PFS. There was no grade 3 or 4 hypersensitivity reaction.ConclusionThis real-world data shows that nab-paclitaxel is a reasonable treatment option in heavily pre-treated and/or taxane-exposed metastatic breast cancer patients.
Rabies Vaccine Disposition: Trends in Vaccination Among Israeli Travelers
Authors: Meltzer Eyal , Yanuka Remez , Schwartz Eli
Published: August 2021

Travelers are a risk-group for rabies; however, few are protected. We describe changes in pre-travel vaccination rates and post-travel referrals after animal contact. We conducted a nationwide, retrospective study for 2014–2018. The ratio of rabies vaccine courses distributed to travelers and the number of Israeli-tourist-entries to endemic countries was calculated, as was the proportion of travelers referred to a post-travel clinic after animal contact. During the study period, the ratio of pre-travel vaccine courses distributed nationally to outgoing tourism to endemic countries was stable at ≈0.7%; 13% of 256,969 pre-travel consultations included recommendation for rabies vaccination. Backpackers were more likely to be immunized (40.2%) than business travelers (4.4%) or travelers planning organized/high-end travel (2.0%). However, rates of rabies vaccination among backpackers showed a decline during the study period. Post-travel referrals after animal contact were stable at 2% of all referrals; most were exposed in Asia (69.5%) and 51% were bitten by dogs. Only 38% received post-exposure prophylaxis abroad. We conclude that only a minority of Israeli travelers, including backpackers, receive rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis. The proportion of travelers with potentially rabid animal contact is not decreasing; however, many exposed travelers do not receive post-exposure prophylaxis during travel. Because rabies control programs have been compromised in endemic countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to provide rabies protection to travelers has become more urgent. After the ACIP’s adoption of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2-dose regimen, a revision of current vaccine guidelines is required to provide a simplified, more inclusive rabies vaccine policy.
Economic Impact of the Health Sector on the Regional Level – Case of a Small, Open Economy
Authors: Jagrič Timotej , Mun Johnathan C. , Brown Christine Elisabeth , Fister Dusan
Published: August 2021

A GRIT methodology (Generation of Regional Input-Output Tables) to generate and analyze regional input-output tables is applied for a small, middle-income nation, where the single national input-output table is partitioned into numerous regional tables. Missing values data are imputed using an evolutionary stochastic population-based nature-inspired optimization algorithm with self-adapting control parameters and exogenous superior data are introduced as well. A nonsurvey study is carried for each regional economy by computing various multipliers, such as output, income, value-added, employment, and import multipliers, and outlining financial properties, development, and interconnections of the various regions in Slovenia. Finally, the effects of financing the regional healthcare sectors are examined. Empirical evidence that healthcare industry sectors are extraordinarily important at the regional level and thus necessary to deliver a favorable impact on the national production of Slovenia in future, can be used for forthcoming economic policies planning at regional and national level.

Authors: Zulkifli Hafizhah , Azman Nor Alniza
Published: August 2021

Self-assessment is quintessential to monitor students’ performance, particularly in getting feedback during the teaching and learning process. However, up to the present, research on students' self-assessment in Hikmah Pedagogy was limited to other subjects, such as Malay language, History, English language, and Science. Therefore, the objective of this research was to examine students’ self-assessment on Hikmah (Wisdom) pedagogy based on gender and type of schools in Islamic education subject. The research applied a survey research design that involved 328 primary school students. The results revealed no statistically significant difference in the mean score for all constructs (speaking and listening, reasoning, manners in the community of inquiry, and open-mindedness) based on gender. On the contrary, the results derived from the one-way ANOVA tests for the types of school documented a significant difference in speaking and listening reasoning and open-mindedness. This research study may assist teachers in improving the teaching and learning process and help students to understand better in the classroom.
Fastest on the Playground: Four Generations of Female Sport Experience
Authors: Kirby Jessica
Published: August 2021

The life sport experiences of four generations of females were explored through narrative family research and presented through research poetry. Their stories powerfully represent the transformation of sport and exercise culture across seven decades of overlapping life experiences and demonstrate the generational transmission of value for, expectation of, and experiences with sport. A poem representing each girl/woman’s story was crafted by the author, through the process of poetic transcription, and is presented alongside a photo illustrating each individual’s experiences. The generational experiences and implications of the findings are discussed within the broader sport psychology and sport sociology literature.

Authors: Zhu Yanbei
Published: August 2021

Trends and advances in the development and application of inductively coupled plasma tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QMS/QMS) with a reaction cell is reviewed mainly based on publications from January 2018 to July 2021. ICP-QMS/QMS has been applied in various research fields covering the sciences of biology, energy, environmental, food/medical, geology, materials, and radionuclide. The objectives of analysis cover the determination of elemental concentration, ion-gas reaction, isotope analysis, single particle analysis, and chemical speciation analysis. Measurement of most elements in the periodic table are reported except for H, N, O, F, rare gas, and some of the radionuclides. In addition to the default reaction/collision gases (i.e., He, H2, O2, and NH3), N2O, CO2, CH4, CH3F, C2H4, and C2H6 have been used as reaction gases to improve the capability of separating spectral interferences or to study the ion-molecule reactions. Typical applications of ICP-QMS/QMS analysis in the major research fields are also discussed.

Published: August 2021

Obesity is one of the most important nutritional disorders affecting domestic cats, and has a multifactorial etiology. Main risk factors include age, breed, gender, neutering, type of food, and frequency of feeding. In addition to the metabolic syndrome, obesity is associated to development of orthopedic diseases and skin disorders. Obesity increases anesthetic risk and decreases longevity and quality of live. Body condition score is the standard method of diagnosis, and treatment consists in dietary energy restriction and exercise programs. Prevention is paramount to disease control. In this article we review the current literature related to feline obesity and highlight its prevalence and etiology, as well as the role of adipose tissue – as an endocrine organ –, in the diseases. Comorbidities, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are discussed.
Oclacitinib in dermatological disease processes in veterinary medicine – a literature review
Authors: Bezerra Mascarenhas Mariana
Published: August 2021

The Janus kinase signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway is utilized by cytokines, including interleukins (ILs), interferons (IFNs), and other molecules to transmit signal from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Inflammatory cytokines rely on JAK-STAT signaling, which is indispensable for immune and hematopoietic function. JAK inhibitors were developed for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory, immune-mediated, and hematopoietic disorders in humans. Evidence suggests that JAK inhibitors are efficacious in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, psoriasis, and vitiligo. The first generation of JAK inhibitors included tofacitinib, ruxolitinib, baricitinib, and oclacitinib. Oclacitinib is used exclusively in veterinary medicine, and recent studies have shown that this drug has a rapid effect on pruritus and lesion reduction in dogs with atopic dermatitis. This article aimed to review this new class of drugs, focusing on the use of oclacitinib in veterinary medicine.

Published: August 2021

Main mortality causes of neotropical primates are trauma and viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases. In all cases of animal death necropsy, histopathology, and complementary exams are essential to determine the cause of death. Between May 2017 and May 2018, 59 cases of death of non-human primates were registered during the Yellow Fever outbreak in the region of Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil. Five species of the genera Callithrix, Alouatta and Sapajus were identified. Wildlife and captivity animals were represented. All biological materials collected during necropsies were submitted to Instituto Adolf Lutz (in São Paulo, Brazil) to be tested for the Yellow Fever virus. Documented causes of death included Yellow Fever, unspecified trauma, interspecies and intraspecies aggression, firearm-induced trauma, pneumonia, and carbamate toxicosis.

Issues of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms have become a genuine wonder and needs to discover arrangements viable with the peril it addresses. Therefore, scientists have arisen calling to go towards regular other options and sources given commonly by nature. The study focused on the synergistic effectiveness of the cold (E1) and hot (E2) aqueous extracts of the leaves of two plants, Camellia sinensis, and Moringa oleifera, compared with (E3) which is control treatment, subsequent to researching some dynamic and active mixtures in the two plants separates utilizing phytochemical investigation and infrared spectroscopy analysis (FTIR). In addition, their utilization as anti-infection agents to delay the growth of some positive and negative isolated pathogenic bacteria that cause food contamination, by measuring the inhibition zone for bacteria growth, and determine the MIC assay for concentrates. The outcomes showed that the main mixtures combinations that were subjectively analyzed by FTIR were phenols, polyphenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, and other significant mixtures. Results showed that there were significant differences among the bacterial species towards each concentrate, just as clear critical differences among the pre-arranged concentrates towards every one of the confined bacterial species.

Published: August 2021

La investigación se propone caracterizar la producción del rubro cafetalero y el desarrollo de una propuesta de gestión que permita su explotación de manera racional, eficiente, con menor impacto ambiental y mayores réditos financieros para las familias involucradas. Presenta un alcance descriptivo analítico de enfoque mixto, para cuya recolección de datos se utilizaron las técnicas de observación directa de los modos, costumbres y cultura productiva, encuesta a 40 unidades productoras de café y entrevista a profesionales expertos en la cata, producción y comercialización de café en el país.  Los resultados indican que estas empresas son pequeños complejos de entre 3 a 5 hectáreas, donde trabajan al menos dos integrantes de la familia; el nivel de producción y productividad es insuficiente para cubrir sus necesidades básicas; la mitad de ellas no cuenta con título de propiedad; en su gran mayoría no llevan registro formal de la actividad económica, venden su producto a intermediarios y realizan labores mecánicas y prácticas lesivas al ambiente. Se propone un esquema de gestión para optimizar el manejo de estas fincas y mejorar la economía familiar con criterios de sustentabilidad, basado en cuatro fases: producción eficiente, cosecha y post cosecha, comercialización diferenciada y plan de mejora continua.
