Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves
Get PDFThis paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this crop, and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in a greater difficulty to comply with the practices required to benefit from both the single payment and agri-environmental schemes. In many high-steeped areas, farmers have opted for non-tillage practices as an alternative to other conservation practices. Using our own data from a survey carried out in 2006 among 215 olive tree farmers from the Granada Province in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices, we model the diffusion process of no tillage practices using several specifications (logistic, Gompertz and exponential). We also estimate an ordered probit model to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine the adoption of no tillage. Our results show that 90% of farmers in the area of study perform no tillage with either localized (21%) or no localized (69%) application of weedicides. The diffusion process of no tillage has been very intense since the middle nineties, and has been based on the interactions among farmers in the area of study rather than in external factors such as EU policies or extension services. Among other relevant factors that positively affect the adoption of no tillage practices in general, such as farm size and irrigation, the probability of a farmer adopting no tillage with non-localized application of weedicides increases when there is a relative that will continue with the farming activity, what causes the farmer to incorporate long term effects in his farming decisions, when the farmer is only a manager or when he bought the farm rather than inherited it (i.e. on more professionalized farms), and with his educational level. These results confirm some findings from previous studies in other nearby areas.Spanish olive groves, soil erosion, no tillage, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use,
Franco (Albert M.) interview, 1978

Albert Franco tells of his family's life on the Isle of Rhodes; why they left; how they came to Seattle. He tells of his father, Marco Franco's, achievements in business and of his father's extensive participation in community affairs, in the Sephardic community and in the community in general. He tells of his own education, his career as a lawyer, his war service in the Army Intelligence, and of his work in the community. He experienced discrimination by his fellow Jews when no Sephardic student could join a Jewish fraternity or sorority. This interview gives illuminating insights concerning the history of an early day Sephardic family and how a child who grew up in that era reacted as shown in his community work as as adult. His account of his father, Marco Franco, as a liaison between the various segments in the community is interesting.

Cardoso Presidency
No full textFernando Henrique Cardoso (b. Rio de Janeiro, June 18, 1931) had an influential academic career before going into politics and becoming a senator, foreign minister, finance minister and president of Brazil. His book Dependency and Development in Latin America, co-authored with Enzo Faletto, was translated into several languages and was very widely cited. Cardoso’s academic career was interrupted by a military coup d’état in 1964, forcing him and many other left-leaning Brazilian academics into exile. In 1968 he was allowed to return to Brazil, where he and a number of colleagues started an applied research institute. When the military government began a gradual transition back to democracy, Cardoso joined a movement to rally the middle class and intelligentsia to pressure for direct elections to the presidency. Cardoso was elected an “alternate senator” on an opposition party ticket and later succeeded to the Senate. As a senator, he played a key role in the Constituent Assembly that wrote a new constitution for Brazil in 1988. In 1992, he left the Senate to take the position of minister of external relations. In 1993, President Itamar Franco unexpectedly prevailed on him to accept the position of finance minister. Much to everyone’s surprise, Cardoso and his team succeeded in ending hyperinflation and giving Brazil a stable currency without imposing austerity or hardship. The success of the monetary reform led to his election as president of Brazil in 1994. In 1998, he again won the presidency, but in his second term the economy went into decline, largely due to crises in Mexico, Russia, and elsewhere. In 2002 he passed the presidential sash on to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Workers Party. In retirement from the presidency, he continued to be active in the leadership of his political party, and served on many international boards and commissions. In 2016, he supported the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff for violations of fiscal responsibility laws.</p
The political instrumentalization of professional football in Francoist Spain 1939-1975
No full textPhDThe objective of this thesis is to be the first systematic study of the
political instrumentalization of football in Francoist Spain from 1939
to 1975.
Seven separate and contrasting aspects of this political
instrumentalization may be isolated, and, accordingly, this thesis will
consist of a chapter examining each one of these seven aspects in turn.
After a first introductory chapter, Chapter Two will examine the
application of Fascist concepts to Spanish football. In the third
chapter, the questions of whether and to what extent football was used
by the Franco regime as a political soporific will be discussed. The
theme of Chapter Four is the lack of democracy within the structures of
the game, a situation that is alleged to have been deliberately imposed
by the regime in order to not create an uncomfortable comparison for
itself with the lack of national and local political democracy. The
poor working conditions of the footballers, which mirrored those of the
great majority of Spanish workers during the Franco period, are the
subject of Chapter Five. In the sixth Chapter, the political
significance of the presence in Francoist Spain of a group of refugee
players and coaches from Europe will be examined. The diplomatic
and ambassadorial significance of football, in particular of the
spectacular international triumphs of the Real Madrid club, will be
discussed in Chapter Seven. The political significance of football as a
focus for Basque and Catalan nationalist sentiment, in opposition to the
centralist Madrid regime, is the subject of Chapter Eight
A juíza, o deputado e o pastor - o discurso de ódio aos direitos humanos e a Marielle Franco
Get PDFNASCIMENTO,Amadeu Cardoso do. A juíza, o deputado e o pastor - o discurso de ódio aos direitos humanos e a Marielle Franco. 2022. 20 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Especialização em Gênero, Diversidade e Direitos Humanos) - Instituto de Educação a Distância, Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira, Redenção-CE, 2022.Este trabalho se ampara em dados de pesquisa antropológico interdisciplinar desenvolvida no
Programa de Especialização em Gênero, Diversidade e Direitos Humanos da Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-brasileira (Unilab), e tem por objetivo analisar as intolerâncias raciais e de gênero sofrida por Marielle Franco após seu assassinato em 2018. A pesquisa monitorou Portais de comunicação Jornalística, selecionando reportagens entre os anos de 2018 a 2021, que foram usadas como fontes para a realização desta pesquisa. A partir disso, buscamos centralizar nossa análise com base em categorias apresentadas por Richadson (1999), nas categorias direitos humanos, de minorias raciais e sexuais que Marielle defendia. O crime em questão, associado a um cenário de crise política no Brasil com a eleição de Jair Messias Bolsonaro à presidência da república, polariza um campo de disputa de poder político. Os discursos de ódio direcionados a Marielle Franco atingem suas pautas e lutas em defesa dos direitos humanos. Afirmações que surgiram após sua morte como “defensora de bandidos”, associam a vereadora ao mundo do crime. Associar a vereadora ao crime, atinge a política pública de direitos das
populações menos favorecidas. O ódio promovido e espalhado sobre Marielle Franco indica racismo,
homofobia e intolerância. O ódio as mulheres negras, à liberdade sexual, aos princípios dos direitos
humanos são apresentadas nas reportagens dos Jornais analisados. Marielle Franco foi vítima da violência física, contudo vem sofrendo ao longo desses quase quatro anos

Imaginários de nação no romance brasileiro contemporâneo: Os Rios inumeráveis e A República dos bugres
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Esta tese apresenta a leitura de dois romances contemporâneos, produzidos na década de 90 do século XX, intitulados Os Rios Inumeráveis (1997), de Álvaro Cardoso Gomes, A República dos Bugres (1999), de Ruy Reis Tapioca. Esses romances fazem parte do romance histórico contemporâneo, que busca reconstruir, recompor, imaginar e ficcionalizar aspectos da história brasileira. Nesses romances, de fundo histórico, buscou-se verificar qual o imaginário de nação produzido na literatura brasileira do final do século XX. Efetuou-se um trabalho arqueológico, ao serem revisitados os textos formadores dos romances de Álvaro Cardoso Gomes e de Ruy Tapioca. Nessa revisita, percorreu-se uma série de problemas postos na formação da nação brasileira, tais como os desajustes das idéias importadas para a realidade brasileira, o mal-estar em nossa civilização e, conseqüentemente, em nossa cultura, a fim de se perceber como se faziam, essas questões, presentes nos textos em análise. Como se tratava de buscar a construção do imaginário sobre a nação em textos contemporâneos, que remetiam, no entanto, a imaginários já postos e repostos pela tradição historiográfica e literária brasileira, uma tensão básica perpassa a análise e o jogo que se constrói, nos romances, justamente entre essa tradição, ou/entre o cânone, e a contemporaneidade. Em suma, Álvaro Cardoso Gomes e Ruy Tapioca rompem com o cânone estabelecido sobre a nação, rompem, nesse sentido, com o discurso monológico erigido pelos construtores da nação, a partir do Romantismo, mesmo que imersos na contemporaneidade, ou o reafirmam? Qual a natureza, enfim, desse jogo nos romances analisados
