Pertinencia cultural del enfoque de graduación en mujeres en extrema pobreza en México 2019-2021

Benito Salvatierra Laura Itzel Ramírez Ramos Austreberta Nazar_Beutelspacher BARBARA CAROLINA LINARES BRAVO (2023, [Libro])

La presente obra expone los resultados de la evaluación de cinco indicadores de pertinencia cultural (expectativas, experiencias, estrategias, valores y decisiones) del proyecto “Empoderamiento de Mujeres y Jóvenes a través del Enfoque de Graduación en Inclusión Financiera en México”, instrumentado en Chiapas y Yucatán por la ONG internacional Trickle Up con el apoyo de cuatro organizaciones sociales locales. Este libro cobra relevancia en un contexto hasta este momento, caracterizado por 50 años de trayectoria de políticas públicas y programas sociales que no han logrado disminuir las desigualdades sociales y económicas que afectan principalmente a la población rural e indígena del país, por lo que pone en manos del lector un marco teórico conceptual, metodológico y de postulados sobre la importancia de la pertinencia cultural y la necesidad de integrarla a los proyectos y programas, ya sean de carácter público, social o privada, como una forma de garantizar su apropiación y continuidad por la población local. En ese sentido, el Enfoque de Graduación se presenta como una alternativa viable y factible para combatir la pobreza general y pobreza extrema, en la medida en que su diseño, como la instrumentación de cada uno de sus componentes (focalización, alfabetización financiera, acompañamiento, capacitación, transferencia de activos, protección social y apoyo al consumo) se realice tomando en cuenta las buenas prácticas, los aprendizajes y desde luego, considere reajustes que atiendan las barreras y recomendaciones derivadas de esta evaluación integral. Finalmente, podrán encontrar de forma detallada el proceso de construcción de variables e indicadores, la metodología (cuantitativa y cualitativa) utilizada por el equipo evaluador de ECOSUR, por lo que este libro puede ser una referencia metodológica y estadística para futuras evaluaciones de proyectos que buscan una incidencia socioeconómica en el bienestar de la población.

On-farm storage loss estimates of maize in Kenya using community survey methods

Hugo De Groote Anani Bruce (2023, [Artículo])

Maize is the most important staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with highly seasonal production. High storage losses affect food security, but good estimations are lacking. A new method using focus group discussions (FGDs) was tested with 121 communities (1439 farmers, 52% women) in Kenya's six maize-growing zones, to estimate the maize losses to storage pests and analyze farmer practices. As control strategies, half of the farmers used chemical pesticides (49%), while hermetic bags (16%) and botanicals (15%) were also popular. Relative loss from weevils in the long rains was estimated at 23%, in the short rains 18%, and annually 21%. Fewer farmers were affected by the larger grain borer (LGB) than by maize weevils: 42% in the long rainy season and 32% in the short rainy season; losses from LGB were also smaller: 19% in the long season, 17% in the short season, and 18% over the year. Total storage loss, from both species combined, was estimated at 36%, or 671,000 tonnes per year. The greatest losses occur in the humid areas, especially the moist mid-altitudes (56%), and with smaller loss in the drylands (20–23%). Extrapolating the point data and overlaying with the maize production map shows the geographic distribution of the losses, with the most important area found around Lake Victoria. FGDs provide convenient and cheap tools to estimate storage losses in representative communities, but a total loss estimate of 36% is higher than is found in other studies, so its accuracy and framing effects need to be assessed. We conclude that storage pests remain a major problem, especially in western Kenya, and that the use of environmentally friendly technologies such as hermetic storage and botanicals needs more attention, both by the public extension service and private agrodealers.

In this text, the reader will find a study about public participation of women in the national discussion context, that occurred in the first two decades of the twentieth century in Chile. To get the objective we have chosen two hemerography sources self-styled "women's magazines": the workers paper La Alborada (1905-1907) and the publication of elite La Revista Azul (1914-1918), to approach the discources doomed to 'question feminine', construction of gender identities and processes of significance of women in the framework of the named readjusted of national identities, as a cultural practice. The text has been divided in three chapters. The first look for the study of the relationships found in the 'official'. The second chapter is about the female press production and identity marks that defined the public women affairs. Finally, the third chapter will focus on the discursive representations found in these two cases, by three analytical categories that allow us to understand the mechanisms of participation of women in the nation: instruction, moralizing and motherhood.

En el presente texto, el lector podrá encontrar un estudio sobre la participación pública de las mujeres en el marco de la discusión sobre 'lo nacional', acaecido en las primeras dos décadas del siglo XX en Chile . Para esto, se han escogido dos fuentes hemerográficas autodenominadas como "prensa femenina": el periódico obrero La Alborada (1905-1907) y la publicación de élite La Revista Azul (1914-1918), con el objetivo de abordar los discursos abocados a la 'cuestión femenina', la construcción de identidades de género y los procesos de significación de las mujeres en el marco de la denominada readecuación de las identidades nacionales, todo esto, como una práctica cultural. Así, el texto ha sido estructurado en tres capítulos. El primero busca revisar el contexto de estudio y las relaciones establecidas entre los discursos analizados con el 'oficial'. El segundo capítulo está orientado a la producción de la prensa femenina y las marcas identitarias que definieron el quehacer público de las mujeres. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo se abocará a las representaciones discursivas encontradas en estos dos casos, por medio de tres categorías analíticas que permiten comprender los mecanismos de participación de las mujeres en la nación: la instrucción, la moralización y la maternidad.

Strategies steering intensification pathways of farmers in central Malawi

Carl Timler Jeroen Groot Sieglinde Snapp Pablo Tittonell (2023, [Artículo])

Smallholder farmers face many challenges to improve their livelihoods and food security. Intensification of agricultural production can help to achieve these goals. Yet farmers are highly heterogenous in their strategies towards intensification, potentially following unsustainable intensification pathways. Using Q Methodology, we ascertain different strategies regarding farm improvement and intensification of smallholder farmers in the Dedza and Ntcheu Extension Planning Areas in Central Malawi. These strategies were associated to coherent sequential choices as expressed in “managerial intensification pathways” (MIPs). Three main strategies emerged: Seed Saving Peasants, Aspirant Modern Farmers and Entrepreneurial Business(wo)men. These were subsequently linked to four MIPs. Seed Saving Peasants focus strongly on local seed systems and post-harvest protection of grains, but also allocate more labour to improving crop residue use and manure quality, thus pointing to a labour-oriented MIP. Aspirant Modern Farmers willingly adopt hybrid seeds and inorganic fertilizers but require more extension support; these farmers follow a technology-oriented MIP. Entrepreneurial Business(wo)men are early adopters of new technologies and benefit from improved access to market information and suppliers of new technologies and follow a sustainable technology-based or techno-ecological intensification pathway. This study shows that strongly contrasting perspectives on intensification exist among smallholders and it is expected that their preferred intensification choices will have diverging impacts on the sustainability of their farms. A diversity of extension, advice and incentive instruments will be needed to support farmer decision making towards sustainably intensified farms.

Non-autonomous Ginzburg-Landau solitons using the He-Li mapping method

MAXIMINO PEREZ MALDONADO Haret Codratian Rosu ELIZABETH FLORES GARDUÑO (2022, [Artículo])

"We find and discuss the non-autonomous soliton solutions in the case of variable nonlinearity and dispersion implied by the Ginzburg-Landau equation with variable coefficients. In this work we obtain non-autonomous Ginzburg-Landau solitons from the standard autonomous Ginzburg-Landau soliton solutions using a simplified version of the He-Li mapping. We find soliton pulses of both arbitrary and fixed amplitudes in terms of a function constrained by a single condition involving the nonlinearity and the dispersion of the medium. This is important because it can be used as a tool for the parametric manipulation of these non-autonomous solitons. "
