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,

Data pelaksanaan pembelajaran berupa transkrip pelaksanaan pembelajaran yang terdiri atas kegiatan awal, kegiatan inti, dan kegiatan penutup. Data penilaian berupa penilaian proses dan hasil, serta informasi hasil wawancara tentang penilaian pembelajaran. Dalam menentukan keabsahan temuan peneliti melakukan diskusi dengan dosen pembimbing dan teman sejawat.Hasil penelitian pembelajaran basa rinengga pada siswa kelas VIII SMPN 2 Malang terbagi menjadi tiga aspek, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan penilaian. Pertama, RPP yang disusun sudah memuat semua komponen RPP. Kedua, pelaksanaan pembelajaran gaya bahasa (basa rinengga) terdiri atas kegiatan: awal, inti dan penutup. Kegiatan awal meliputi apersepsi, presensi, dan motivasi. Guru juga mengaitkan penguasaan kompetensi terhadap kehidupan siswa. Kegiatan inti meliputi penerapan pendekatan saintifik. Pada pelaksanaan kegiata inti sudah terlihat proses unjuk kerja. Pada pelaksanaan kegiatan penutup guru memberikan refleksi simpulan mengenai pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan. Ketiga, penilaian terdiri dari penilaian sikap, penilaian keterampilan, dan penilaian pengetahuan. Pada penilaian sikap dilaksanakan ketika pembelajaran berlangsung tanpa rubrik penilaian, penilaian keterampilan dilaksanakan dengan unjuk kerja sementara itu untuk penilaian pengetahuan dilaksanakan dengan tes tulis berupa ulangan harian dan tanya jawab di kelas. Penilaian keterampilandan penilaian pengetahuan sudah sesuai dengan yang tercantum pada RPP. Dalam RPP yang dirancang guru, sumber belajar yang digunakan kurang bervariasi. Materi dan media yang dirumuskan oleh guru sudah sesuai dengan tujuan pembelajaran.Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini yaitu, perencanaan pembelajaran sudah memuat seluruh komponen RPP untuk pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Pada pelaksanaan pembelajaran basa rinengga guru lebih kreatif dalam memilih media dan mengunakan alokasi waktu sebaik mungkin. Penilaian pembelajaran berupa penilaian sikap, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan. Berdasarkan kesimpulan di atas disampaikan saran sebagai berikut. Guru lebih teliti kembali pada saat menyusun RPP dalam kelompok Tim MGMP, alangkah baiknya apabila guru mempersiapkan sendiri RPP pembelajaran yang akan diajarkan. Pada pelaksanaan pembelajaran perlu diusahakan sesuai dengan rancangan pembelajaran yang terdapat pada RPP. Pemilihan media lebih bervariasi serta buku penunjang juga lebih diperhatikan kembali supaya pembelajaran dapat terlaksana dengan baik dan lancar sehingga mampu meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Bagi siswa diharapkan untuk secara berkelanjutan mempelajari mengenai pengucapan kosakata bahasa Jawa dan mencintai serta mempelajari budaya-budaya Jawa lainnya.

Language Style Learning (Basa Rinengga) in Year VIII SMPN 2 Malang Students Year 2016/2017. Thesis. Department of Indonesian Literature, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Supervisor Prof. Dr. Anang Santoso, M.Pd. Keywords: learning, rinengga language, planning, implementation, and evaluationJavanese language learning is a local subject learned by students from elementary level to high school level, even in daily life Javanese language is a first language in East Java. In junior high school, basic competency about identifying the variety and style of Javanese language is studied by second grader students of junior high school. Based on the results of researcher’s observation that have been done in SMP 2 Malang, the language learning process on Javanese language is already using the curriculum of 2013. On the K-13 application of learning the Javanese language, the researcher found several problems, including the literature learning and the knowledge of students about the terms, phrases or vocabulary that is still lacking. Other problem faced by teachers in learning is the limitation of the use of Javanese language in communication also become problem for teachers in learning. This research was carried out to examine the KBM (teaching and learning activities) in VIII grade of SMP 2 Malang with the subject matter of Rinengga language. The purpose of this research is (1) to describe about the lesson plan on Rinengga language that are associated with the components of the RPP, (2) to describe knowing the interaction between students and teachers in the teaching and learning activities on learning Rinengga language which consists of initial activities, core activities, and the closing activities, (3) to describe the learning assessment of Rinengga language based from attitudes, skills, and knowledge.In this study, the researcher using qualitative-descriptive approach in the form of class discourse. The key instrument in this study is the researcher. Data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The learning plan is from RPP that has been compiled and from the results of interviews with teachers regarding the preparation of study plan. The data from the learning implementation in the form of a transcript from the implementation of the learning of initial activities, core activities, and closing activities. Data assessment form are assessment processes and results, as well as the information about learning interviews. In determining the validity of the research, the researcher conducting discussions with friends and supervisors.The research result of learning Rinengga language on grade VIII SMP 2 Malang is divided into three aspects, planning, implementation, and assessment. First, the RPP arranged already contains all of the components of the RPP. Second, the implementation of learning did not run in accordance with RPP that are designed by teachers, scientific approach is not fully implemented by the teacher when in learning activities, learning activities took three sessions and a daily test while at RPP teacher only noted for two times. Third, the assessment consists of assessments of the attitude, skills, and knowledge. On the attitude assessment was carried out when the learning took place without the rubric assessment, skills assessment was carried out in the form of the performance, and for knowledge assessment test implemented in the form of daily test and frequently asked questions in class. Skills assessment and knowledge assessment is suitable with listed on the RPP. In the RPP, teacher-designed learning resources are used less varied. Materials and media that are formulated by the teacher is suitable with the purpose of learning. The conclusion on this research is, the plan study is already containing of all components of RPP for the implementation of learning. Implementation of learning Rinengga language are carried out three times. Activities between teachers and students in the form of lectures, discussions and assignments. Learning assessment form are attitude, knowledge, and skills. Based on the research results can be delivered to the following suggestions. Teachers more focus on when teachers are putting together in a group of MGMP, it would be nice if the teachers are preparing their own RPP learning that will be taught. On the implementation of learning need to be organized in accordance with the design of the study that contained in the RPP. The selection of books as well as more varied media support is also noted so that learning can be done nicely and smoothly and it is able to improve the quality of learning. For students are expected to continuously learn about pronunciation and vocabulary of the Javanese language and study as well as they learn other Javanese cultures. This research is still at the stage of looking at how the planning, implementation, and assessment of learning styles of language (Rinengga language), then can proceed with research to develop learning materials about the variety and style of Javanese language
Framing gender intersections in the European Union: What implications for the quality of intersectionality in policies?
No full textThis article explores the extent to which the emergence of an antidiscrimination policy in the European Union (EU) implies a shift in EU gender equality policies towards an intersectional approach. The frame analysis of EU gender equality policy documents shows that intersectional dimensions are increasingly present but they are treated implicitly and from a separate perspective, and the inclusion of a wide range of inequalities often implies a degendering of the policy content. We assess the implications of the identified intersectionality trends for the quality of intersectionality in gender equality policies, and we suggest the practice of an "intersectionality impact assessment" as a way to improve the quality of EU policy-making. © 2011 The Author

Protecting the historic buildings of Mexico: the barrel vault of San Agustin Church in Morelia
Get PDFHeritage in Mexico is endangered due to exposure to major hazard events and lack of maintenance. The level of knowledge
necessary to evaluate structural behavior of historic buildings is generally low, mainly regarding the parameters such as mechanical properties. San Agustin church is one of the most important historical buildings in Morelia City, Mexico. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the San
Agustin church was performed, including a damage survey and dynamic identification tests. Based on the diagnosis, a 3D finite element
model with solid elements was developed and calibrated. Then, a seismic assessment was carried out using pushover analysis. The findings
about the damage obtained from the numerical analysis is consistent with the actual condition of the church. Finally, a partial model was
developed to evaluate the performance of the nave barrel vault strengthened with an extrados masonry arch and a layer of carbon fabricreinforced cementitious matrix, an intervention that substantially increased the horizontal load capacity.The authors would like to acknowledge Dr. Carlos Eduardo Mendoza Rosales and Dr. Jose Cabrera Aceves for the architectural data provided for the development of this work, and Eng. Rodolfo Gaytan for support during dynamic identification testing. Finally, the first author would like to thank the CONACyT grant

Sectoral allocation by gender of Latin American workers over the liberalization period of the 1990s
Get PDFThe recent restructuring of Latin American economies has renewed interest in the effects of trade liberalization, on labor markets, and on the gender division of labor. The author does not attempt to establish casuality between economic reforms, and the types of jobs that men and women hold. Instead, she provides a detailed description of the trends in male, and female formal, and informal sector participation during the economic reform period in Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica. The author first compares the gender composition of the formal, informal wage, and self-employment sectors in a year before reforms (1988 for Argentina, 1989 for Brazil, and Costa Rica), and a year after reforms implementation (1997 for Argentina, 1995 for Brazil and Costa Rica). Although women continued to be more likely than men to work in the informal wage sector, there is no trend of"masculinization"or"feminization"of the informal sector, or any other. Instead, in Argentina men have overtaken women as the most prevalent workers in the informal wage sector, while in Brazil, the opposite has occurred (as men move into self-employment). In Costa Rica there have been no statistical, observable changes. The author then considers the distribution across sectors within each gender group, to identify whether men, and women are more likely to select different sectors in the post-reform period relative to the pre-reform period. Among both men, and women in all three countries (except Brazilian men), workers have become more likely to hold informal wage jobs, and less likely to hold formal sector jobs. Trends in human capital accumulation explain these changes for both men, and women, while changes in gender roles, primarily in homecare and marriage, do not seem to have an effect.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Policies,Population&Development,Public Health Promotion,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Population&Development,Banks&Banking Reform,Work&Working Conditions
Breadwinner or caregiver? - how household role affectslabor choices in Mexico
Get PDFRecent volatility in the Mexican economy, has required households to alter patterns of participation in the labor force, voluntarily or not. The author uses panel data to examine patterns of labor force entry among adult men, and women with different household responsibilities, asking whether gender is a primary determinant, shaping these patterns. She finds that labor supply patterns are driven more by household role, than by gender. Heads of households, regardless of sex, behave similarly. Women who have neither spouses, nor children behave more like men, than like married women. They are also more likely than any other group to have inflexible, higher-paying jobs in the formal sector - which raises the question: Do employers discriminate, based on gender, or on household structure? She also detects a strong added-worker effect among secondary workers, a result not detected in the labor markets of developed countries that have social insurance programs. Finally she finds that wives'choice of sector during downturns, is subject to the households'earning needs, that husbands use informal wage, or contract employment as an employer of last resort, only in response to negative income shocks to the household, and that single mothers do not select the informal sector over the formal sector in response to either expected, or realized negative income shocks. The policy implications? Interventions that target women aren't necessarily appropriate, because women are heterogeneous. And programs that aid household heads - male or female - should be directed toward employment that will last beyond the economic shock.Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Markets,Educational Policy and Planning,Labor Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Labor Markets,Educational Policy and Planning,Health Monitoring&Evaluation
