The privatization of social suffering in a Guatemalan finca

Osorio, Jessica Rosalyn 05 November 2012 (has links)
Local actors in the coastal side of Chimaltenango, Guatemala regularly characterize fincas (plantations) as “private property” to explain that they function as independent social spaces, with its inner-functions considered matters between owners and workers, not of concern to society. I argue that locally employed explanations of fincas as private areas support a common sense finca ideology that has placed the basic human and social needs of workers and their families at the discretion of landowners who stand to benefit directly from their marginalization. My major finding is that a finca ideology has privatized the social suffering of resident families who are forced to respond as individuals to constant pressures to their survival. Their agency to respond and possibilities for actions rooted in social solidarity have been restricted within the finca. I conclude that this ideology needs to be delegitimized so that the social and human needs of families are not dependent on the decision of landowners and so that they are empowered take action as individuals and as part of a community to redress the conditions that cause their suffering. / text

Aplicação de extratos de algas marinhas em cafeeiro sob deficiência hídrica e estresse salino /

Bettini, Marcos de Oliveira, 1970. January 2015 (has links)
Orientador: Fernando Broetto / Banca: Marcelo Leonardo / Banca: André Luís Teixeira Fernandes / Banca: João arlos Cury Saad / Banca: José Renato Zanini / Resumo: O presente estudo relacionou os efeitos da aplicação de dois extratos de algas marinhas às características biométricas, relações hídricas, trocas gasosas e alterações bioquímicas em dois cultivares de café e sua interferência na tolerância à deficiência hídrica (DH) e estresse salino (ES). Foram conduzidos dois experimentos em blocos causalizados, em estufa com mudas de cafeeiro em vasos de 5 L irrigados por gotejamento, com 3 repetições por tratamento. O primeiro experimento sobre DH comparou três níveis de irrigação: D1-25%, D2-50% e D3-100% da necessidade hídrica da cultura em dois cultivares (Obatã e Catuaí 99) e dois tratamentos de extratos de algas e controle, sendo aplicados três ciclos DH, intercalados com dois períodos de recondicionamento. O segundo experimento de ES estudou o efeito da salinidade induzida com NaCl para as mesmas cultivares e para os mesmos tratamentos com extratos de alga. Neste caso foram aplicados dois ciclos de estresse salino intercalados com um período de recondicionamento. Os tratamentos com extratos de alga foram: Alga 1 - Aplicações semanais de soluções do extrato líquido solúvel da alga Ascophyllum nodosum. Alga 2 - Uma aplicação via solo da combinação de extratos sólidos das algas Ascophyllum nodosum e Lithothamnium calcareum. Os tratamentos com DH e ES apresentaram menor potencial hídrico foliar, assimilação de carbono, transpiração e área foliar, independentemente dos cultivares. A aplicação de extratos de alga induziu tolerância a estresses hídrico e salino. Plantas de cafeeiro tratadas com extratos de algas apresentaram maior área foliar, maior massa de raízes, maior potencial de água na folha, menor relação Na+/K+, assimilação de carbono e alterações na atividade de enzimas antioxidativas / Abstract: The effects of two seaweed extract were evaluated in terms of biometric characteristics, water relations, gas exchange and biochemical parameters for two coffee cultivars (Obatã e Catuaí 99). In order to have a better understanding how these products interfere in drought and salt stress tolerance. Two greenhouse trials arranged in randomized blocks with three replications per treatment were conducted with coffee transplants in 5 L pots under drip irrigation. The first drought stress experiment compared three irrigation levels (25%, 50% and 100% of water demand) in both coffee cultivars with two different seaweed extracts treatments and control. This experiment received three drought stress cycles of fifteen days interspersed with two periods of fifteen days of reconditioning. The second salt stress experiment induced with NaCL used same cultivars and seaweed extracts treatments in the first trial. In this case two salt stress cycles of thirty days interspersed with one thirty day period for reconditioning were applied. Seaweed extracts treatments were: A1 - Weekly Applications of diluted Ascophyllum nodosum soluble liquid extract. A2 - One combined application of Ascophyllum nodosum and Lithothamnium calcareum solid extracts. Water deficiency and salt stress treatments presented lower foliar water potential, net photosynthesis, transpiration and leaf area for both cultivars. Seaweed extracts application induced salt and drought stress tolerance. Coffee plants treated with seaweed extracts presented higher leaf area, root weight, stem water potential, carbon assimilation, lower rate Na+/K+, and changes in antioxidant enzymes activities. / Doutor

Avaliação de fatores econômicos que influenciam a oferta cafeeira na região nordeste do estado de São Paulo no período de 1995 a 2015 /

Moraes, Adriano Ferreira de. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Adhemar Sanches / Banca: Sérgio Rangel Fernandes Figueira / Banca: Silvio Sandoval Zocchi / Resumo: Análises econômicas resultam em ferramentas importantes na definição de políticas e medidas estruturantes para qualquer setor de produção, particularmente no setor de produtos agrícolas. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos a avaliação de fatores que afetam a oferta cafeeira da região Nordeste do estado de São Paulo, por meio de modelagem econométrica. As variáveis utilizadas na pesquisa foram a "produção do café" (em sacas de 60 kg), a "produtividade do café" (em sacas 60 kg por hectares), "área plantada de café" (em hectares), "preço do café" no mercado (em reais por saca de 60 kg) e preços (em reais) de produtos concorrentes, como do "kg de açúcar" e da "dúzia de laranjas". Os dados são anuais e foram obtidos junto ao Instituto de Economia Agrícola (IEA), no Centro de Estudos em Economia Aplicada, referentes a 16 municípios dessa região, no período de 1995 a 2015. As análises foram realizadas com o auxílio do software GRETL (Gnu, Regression, Econometrics and Time-Series Library), com modelos de regressão linear múltipla do tipo log-log, considerando como variável dependente a "produção de café" e seguindo metodologia descrita e Gujarati e Porter (2011). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a área plantada, a produtividade e o preço do café foram as variáveis determinantes da oferta, apresentando impacto positivo, no período de 1995 a 2015. Os preços dos produtos concorrentes, açúcar e laranja, não tiveram impactos significativos na oferta de café na região pesquisada, no perío...

The objective of this study was to evaluate factors affecting coffee supply in the Northeast region of the state of São Paulo, using econometric modeling based on a log-log multiple regression. The variables used were production (the dependent variable), productivity (sacks 60 kg per hectare), planted area (hectares), prices of coffee (sack 60 kg), sugar (kg) and orange (dozen) . The data cover the period from 1995 to 2015 and were withdrawn from the Institute of Agricultural Economics (IEA) at the Center for Applied Economics Studies. Multiple log-log linear regression models were developed using the software GRETL (Gnu, Regression, Econometrics and Time-Series Library), and the methodology proposed by Gujarati and Porter (2011). The results showed that the planted area, the productivity and the price of coffee were the determinants of supply, with a positive impact, from 1995 to 2015. The prices of competing products, sugar and orange, did not have a significant impact on supply in the region surveyed, from 1995 to 2015. / Mestre

Com isso, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a cor do solo obtida pela espectroscopia de reflectância difusa - VIS-NIR, para o mapeamento de áreas específicas de manejo na cultura do café. O experimento foi conduzido em uma área de 39 ha com cultivo de café, localizada no município de Matão, sudoeste do Estado de São Paulo. A área estava sobre o cultivo de café variedade Coffea arabic L. (IAC Catuai Amarelo – 62). Para a instalação do experimento, foram utilizadas plantas com 7 anos de idade, em um espaçamento de plantio de 3,5 × 0,50 metros. Os pontos amostrais para análises de solo e planta foram realizados com intervalo regular, usando entre os pontos 45 m, o que totalizou 173 pontos na área total. As coletas de solos foram retiradas na profundidade de 0,0 – 0,20 m. Deste solo coletado, foi retirado 0,5 g, que foi moído e seco ao ar, determinando, assim, os valores de reflectância difusa na faixa de 380 a 780 nm, obtendo-se posteriormente os valores do matiz, valor e croma que promoveram juntos o resultado do índice de avermelhamento. Os valores de cada atributo foram correlacionados às variáveis produtiva e qualitativa da planta. Diante disso, os resultados manifestaram a existência de correlações com atributos da planta, indicando então que os constituintes da cor podem ser utilizados como preditores das variáveis analisadas / The advance in the knowledge of the soil attributes enthused satisfactorily the end result of agricultural activities, both in productive potential, as well as the aggregated values to final product. Thus, objective of this study was to evaluate the color of the soil obtained by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy - VIS-NIR, for the mapping of specific areas of management in coffee culture. The experiment was carried out in an area of 39 ha with cultivation of coffee, located in the city of Chichester, south west of the State of Sao Paulo. The area was on the cultivation of coffee variety Coffea arabic L. (IAC Yellow Catuai-62 variety). For the installation of the experiment, plants were used with 7 years of age, in a planting spacing of 3.5 x 0.50 m. The sampling points for analysis of soil and plant analyzes were carried out with regular interval, using between points 45 m, which totaled 173 points in total area. The samples of soil were taken from a depth of 0.0 - 0.20 m. Of this collected soil, was removed from 0.5 g, which was crushed and dried in air, thus determining the values of diffuse reflectance in the range of 380 to 780 nm, obtaining values of hue, value and chroma that promoted together the result of redness index. The values of each attribute were correlated to variables productive and qualitative of the plant. Moreover, the results showed the existence of correlations with attributes of the plant, indicating that the constituents of color can be used as predictors of the analyzed variables
