Tipos de interacciones en un ambiente virtual de aprendizaje entre estudiantes, profesores y contenidos

ADRIAN SCHROEDER ESQUIVEL GUEMES PEDRO JOSE CANTO HERRERA (2018, [Artículo])

La Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY) ha estado utilizando Sistemas de Gestión del Aprendizaje para apoyar sus programas educativos presenciales desde el año 2003, y actualmente cuenta con una herramienta denominada UADY Virtual, basada en el software de distribución libre MOODLE. Este estudio tiene por objetivo identificar cuáles son y de qué manera se dan las interacciones dentro de UADY Virtual, para ello, se entrevistó a profesores del área de ciencias sociales con experiencia en el desarrollo de cursos en UADY Virtual, por medio de un guion de entrevista semi-estructurado, y se utilizó el modelo de Gibbs para llevar a cabo una codificación guiada por conceptos. Es posible inferir que el sistema UADY Virtual propicia las interacciones entre profesores y alumnos, así como aquellas que se dan entre los alumnos mismos, sin embargo, aún queda mucho trabajo por hacer para facilitar las interacciones de los alumnos con los contenidos de curso y las dirigidas de un profesora otro profesor.

High quality diet improves lipid metabolic profile and breeding performance in the blue-footed booby, a long-lived seabird

ERICK GONZALEZ MEDINA (2018, [Artículo])

Understanding the role of diet in the physiological condition of adults during reproduction and hence its effect on reproductive performance is fundamental to understand reproductive strategies in long-lived animals. In birds, little is known about the influence of the quality of food consumed at the beginning of the reproductive period and its short-term effects on reproductive performance. To assess the role of diet in the physiological condition of female blue-footed booby, Sula nebouxii (BFBO), during reproduction we evaluated whether individual differences in diet (assessed by using δ13C and δ15N values of whole blood from female birds and muscle tissue of the principal prey species) prior to egg laying and during incubation influenced their lipid metabolic profile (measured as triglyceride levels and C:N ratio) and their reproductive performance (defined by laying date, clutch size and hatching success). Females with higher δ15N values in their blood during the courtship and incubation periods had a higher lipid metabolic profile, earlier laying date, greater clutch size (2–3 eggs) and higher hatching success. Females that laid earlier and more eggs (2–3 eggs) consumed more Pacific anchoveta (Cetengraulis mysticetus) and Pacific thread herring (Opisthonema libertate) than did other females. These two prey species also had high amounts of lipids (C:N ratio) and caloric content (Kcal/g fresh weight). The quality of food consumed by females at the beginning of reproduction affected their physiological condition, as well as their short-term reproductive performance. Our work emphasizes the importance of determining the influence of food quality during reproduction to understand the reproductive decisions and consequences in long-lived animals. © 2018 González-Medina et al.

Plantas vs. insectos Uso del arsenal natural defensivo de las plantas cultivadas contra insectos plaga

ROBERTO RAFAEL RUIZ SANTIAGO Horacio Salomón Ballina Gómez ESAU RUIZ SANCHEZ (2023, [Artículo])

En las zonas de cultivo agrícolas acontece una batalla entre dos grupos, las plantas de interés económico y los insectos hambrientos que gustan de las fibras y savias de las plantas. Sin embargo, las plantas cuentan con estrategias defensivas para su supervivencia a factores externos y al daño causado por los insectos. Diversos estudios han explorado las características defensivas físicas, fisiológicas y químicas, y su relación con el daño ocasionado por los insectos. En este trabajo se pretende dar a conocer estudios en los que se ha demostrado el uso del arsenal natural de las plantas contra plagas agrícolas.

El huevo de traspatio: características físicas y desempeño en pruebas de incubación artificial

The backyard egg: physical characteristics and performance in artificial incubation tests

MARCO ANTONIO CAMACHO ESCOBAR MARTHA PATRICIA JEREZ SALAS JUAN CARLOS GARCIA LOPEZ SERAFIN JACOBO LOPEZ GARRIDO EDGAR IVAN SANCHEZ BERNAL (2019, [Artículo])

El huevo de traspatio es de tamaño variable, en comparación con el huevo incubable comercial. El objetivo fue incubar huevo de traspatio para conocer las características físicas y desempeño en pruebas de incubación artificial. Se incubaron 1129 huevos: 1002 de gallinas criollas, 68 de gallinas araucanas y 59 de pava. Las variables evaluadas fueron peso, eje longitudinal, diámetro máximo polar, diámetro ecuatorial, diámetro mínimo polar e índice de forma, cascarón quebrado o cascarón sucio, fertilidad, incubabilidad y mortalidad embrionaria total, temprana, intermedia y tardía. El huevo de pava tuvo mayor peso, eje longitudinal, diámetro máximo polar, diámetro ecuatorial, diámetro mínimo polar y fertilidad (p < 0.05), también tuvo menor índice de forma que los huevos de gallina criolla y gallina araucana (p < 0.05). El huevo de gallina araucana presentó mayor incubabilidad y menor mortalidad embrionaria total (p < 0.05). Las características y desempeño del huevo criollo son diferentes al huevo incubable; por ello, los criterios de uniformidad e incubación comercial no le son, precisamente, adecuados para la incubación

The backyard egg is small in comparison with the incubating egg. The objective was to incubate backyard eggs to know physical characteristics and performance in artificial incubation tests. 1129 eggs were incubated: 1002 creole hens’ eggs, 68 araucana hens’ eggs and 59 turkeys’ eggs. The evaluated variables were weight, longitudinal axis, maximum polar diameter, equatorial diameter, polar minimum diameter, shape index, broken shell or dirty shell, fertility, hatchability, and total early, intermediate, and late embryonic mortality. The turkey egg had greater weight, length, maximum polar diameter, equatorial diameter, minimum polar diameter and fertility (p < 0.05). They also had a lower rate of form than the eggs of the creole and araucanian hens (p < 0.05). The araucanian chicken egg showed greater hatchability and lower total embryonic mortality (p < 0.05). The characteristics and performance of the creole egg are different from the incubable egg; therefore, the criteria of uniformity and commercial incubation are not, precisely, suitable for incubation

Agricultural emissions reduction potential by improving technical efficiency in crop production

Arun Khatri-Chhetri Tek Sapkota sofina maharjan Paresh Shirsath (2023, [Artículo])

CONTEXT: Global and national agricultural development policies normally tend to focus more on enhancing farm productivity through technological changes than on better use of existing technologies. The role of improving technical efficiency in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction from crop production is the least explored area in the agricultural sector. But improving technical efficiency is necessary in the context of the limited availability of existing natural resources (particularly land and water) and the need for GHG emission reduction from the agriculture sector. Technical efficiency gains in the production process are linked with the amount of input used nd the cost of production that determines both economic and environmental gains from the better use of existing technologies. OBJECTIVE: To assess a relationship between technical efficiency and GHG emissions and test the hypothesis that improving technical efficiency reduces GHG emissions from crop production. METHODS: This study used input-output data collected from 10,689 rice farms and 5220 wheat farms across India to estimate technical efficiency, global warming potential, and emission intensity (GHG emissions per unit of crop production) under the existing crop production practices. The GHG emissions from rice and wheat production were estimated using the CCAFS Mitigation Options Tool (CCAFS-MOT) and the technical efficiency of production was estimated through a stochastic production frontier analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that improving technical efficiency in crop production can reduce emission intensity but not necessarily total emissions. Moreover, our analysis does not support smallholders tend to be technically less efficient and the emissions per unit of food produced by smallholders can be relatively high. Alarge proportion of smallholders have high technical efficiency, less total GHG emissions, and low emissions intensity. This study indicates the levels of technical efficiency and GHG emission are largely influenced by farming typology, i.e. choice and use of existing technologies and management practices in crop cultivation. SIGNIFICANCE: This study will help to promote existing improved technologies targeting GHG emissions reduction from the agriculture production systems.

Smallholder maize yield estimation using satellite data and machine learning in Ethiopia

Zhe Guo Jordan Chamberlin Liangzhi You (2023, [Artículo])

The lack of timely, high-resolution data on agricultural production is a major challenge in developing countries where such information can guide the allocation of scarce resources for food security, agricultural investment, and other objectives. While much research has suggested that remote sensing can potentially help address these gaps, few studies have indicated the immediate potential for large-scale estimations over both time and space. In this study we described a machine learning approach to estimate smallholder maize yield in Ethiopia, using well-measured and broadly distributed ground truth data and freely available spatiotemporal covariates from remote sensing. A neural networks model outperformed other algorithms in our study. Importantly, our work indicates that a model developed and calibrated on a previous year's data could be used to reasonably estimate maize yield in the subsequent year. Our study suggests the feasibility of developing national programs for the routine generation of broad-scale and high-resolution estimates of smallholder maize yield, including seasonal forecasts, on the basis of machine learning algorithms, well-measured ground control data, and currently existing time series satellite data.

Weed management and tillage effect on rainfed maize production in three agro-ecologies in Mexico

Simon Fonteyne Abel Jaime Leal González Rausel Ovando Ravi Gopal Singh Nele Verhulst (2022, [Artículo])

Maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in a wide range of agro-ecological environments and production systems across Mexico. Weeds are a major constraint on maize grain yield, but knowledge regarding the best weed management methods is lacking. In many production systems, reducing tillage could lessen land degradation and production costs, but changes in tillage might require changes in weed management. This study evaluated weed dynamics and rainfed maize yield under five weed management treatments (pre-emergence herbicide, post-emergence herbicide, pre-emergence + post-emergence herbicide, manual weed control, and no control) and three tillage methods (conventional, minimum and zero tillage) in three agro-ecologically distinct regions of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2016 and 2017. In the temperate Mixteca region, weeds reduced maize grain yields by as much as 92% and the long-growing season required post-emergence weed control, which gave significantly higher yields. In the hot, humid Papaloapan region, weeds reduced maize yields up to 63% and pre-emergence weed control resulted in significantly higher yields than treatments with post-emergence control only. In the semi-arid Valles Centrales region, weeds reduced maize yields by as much as 65%, but weed management was not always effective in increasing maize yield or net profitability. The most effective weed management treatments tended to be similar for the three tillage systems at each site, although weed pressure and the potential yield reduction by weeds tended to be higher under zero tillage than minimum or conventional tillage. No single best option for weed management was found across sites or tillage systems. More research, in which non-chemical methods should not be overlooked, is thus needed to determine the most effective weed management methods for the diverse maize production systems across Mexico.

Voter´´´'s dilemma between honest and competent candidates in the 2018 elections in Mexico and Brazil

José Daniel Sousa Oliva (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article is dedicated to understanding and explaining the electoral dilemma “Dishonest, but competent” and “Honest, but incompetent” in the elections of legislators, governors and municipal presidents in 2018 in Mexico and Brazil. The research questions that guided the investigation are: Why are there voters in Mexico and Brazil who vote for “dishonest” candidates? And how do the voters of those countries decide their vote in the face of this dilemma? The theoretical approach of this work is Social Psychology through two analytical tools: the Funnel of Causality and the Tripartite Model of Attitudes. The methodology is mixed, quantitative and qualitative, using statistical models with data from the international surveys World Values Survey and Comparative Studies of Electoral Systems, as well as the application of Focus Groups in the distance modality. In this way, four categories of voter are proposed: moralist, moralist-moderate, pragmatic-moderate and pragmatic. The arguments of this work are: first, that regardless of cultural differences, there is an “affective voter” “non-rational” who makes decisions based on emotions and intuition, demonstrating that the affective components of attitudes are more relevant than the cognitive ones in electoral choice; second, that voting for “dishonest” candidates is determined under a greater influence of “short-term factors” such as candidate characteristics and short-term events rather than “long-term factors” such as party loyalties and ideology.
