Modifications of Small-Farmer Credit in the Maisan 77 Program of the Philippines
No full textThis study was conducted to determine possible reforms that may improve the Maisan 77 credit program. Specifically, it aimed to pinpoint suggestions that will reduce the net costs of lending and improve the financial and economic well-being of farmer-borrowers.To accomplish these objectives, survey data were used to specify and validate a liquidity-specified linear programming (LS-LP) model.

The effects of a "break-even" rate of interest was given special focus since this is the rate of interest at which the credit program recovers its lending costs.The results of the simulations showed that:(1) The welfare losses of the farmer due to increases in interest rates can be offset by coordinated increases in the size of loan, thus, making the credit limit as more important to the farmer's well-being than the rate of interest he has to pay.(2) Disbursement of program loans in cash only resulted in improved financial structure and liquidity reservations for the farmer.

Modifications of small-farmer credit In the maisan 77 program of the Philippines
No full textPhD ThesisThis study was conducted to determine possible reforms that may
improve the Maisan 77 credit program.
Specifically, it aimed to pinpoint
suggestions that will reduce the net costs of lending and improve the
financial and economic well-being of farmer-borrowers.
To accomplish these objectives, survey data were used to specify
and validate a liquidity-specified linear programming (LS-LP) model.
Simulations of the model were made with variations in: (1) interest rate,
(2) credit limit, and (3) mode of loan disbursement.
11
The effects of a
break-even" rate of interest was given special focus since this is the rate
of interest at which the credit program
recovers its lending costs.
The results of the simulations showed that:
(1) The welfare losses
of the farmer due to increases in interest
rates can be offset by coordinated increases in the size of loan, thus,
making the credit limit as more important to the farmer’s well-being than
the rate of interest he has to pay.
(2) Disbursement of program loans in cash only resulted in improved
financial structure and liquidity reservations for the farmer.

decreased while total reserved credit increased.
The objective
Reserved cash
These indicate that credit
reservation tends to substitute for cash, allowing the farmer to commit more
of his cash to production.
A likely consequence is the possible extended
outreach of the program to small farmers who have not yet been served with
loans.
Cash only disbursement of loan relaxes the restriction on its use.
more versatile loan like moneylender funds will be valued highly.
Thus,
Ahigher valuation of cash program loan may lead the borrower to preserve
such loan—and to protect it by paying back his/her debt.
(3)
The effect of break-even interest rate just by itself, is a
general reduction in the farmer’s welfare, though the lender recovers its
lending costs.
However, when coupled with increasing credit limit and an
all cash disbursement of loan, results showed improvement in the well-being
and liquidity position of the farmer as well.
Using simple calculations, it was shown that the public sector’s
net cost of lending can be reduced by simultaneous increases in interest
rate and credit limit
Considerations on uncertainties and inconsistencies in the dendrometric terminology
No full textIn the italian forestry literature, the adjective “cormometric” combined with the noun volume or its equivalent, is used with three different meanings which are respectively linked to the stem, to the trunk or large timber. To find the origins and also the reasons for these different meanings of the term, we need to go back in history. The first definition is by Alfonso Di Berenger first director of the Vallombrosa Forest, the first seat of higher Forestry education in Italy between 1869 and 1951. He defined cormometric the volume of the “legname sociale” (industrial timber), or the trunk. Follows the definition of Vittorio Perona that, in the wake of the German concept of Derbholz, considers cormometric volume as including also portions of branches above seven centimeters. Giuseppe Di Tella, Professor of forest mensurations and forest management in Florence between 1916 and 1937 is the author of a large general volume table for fir where the cormometric volume is defined as the “stem including the top”, but also, following the doctrine, as a measure expressing the volume of the part of the stem that can provide wood for building or industry. Subsequently, with the definitions of the Professors Generoso Patrone and Guglielmo Giordano confirming the doctrinal meaning of Di Tella, the sense of the term remains unchanged. In 1986 Hellrigl called cormometric mass, the aboveground woody tree mass limited to trunk and limbs to be determined; however, this definition did not find any application. Alternative definitions by Roberto Del Favero and Orazio La Marca consider cormometric volume including top and cormometric volume excluding top. In the forest literature, instead, there were more changes in 2007, when the Forestry Research Portal published a notation regarding cubing of forest stands, stating “in the cubing of forest stands, woody volume estimated for conifers is, in general, cormometric (i.e., volume of the stem including bark)” which gave rise to the present note. Alongside, and again in connection with the meaning of the term cormometric, certain combinations of terminology reported in two multilingual glossaries of IUFRO are highlighted

Considerando que sus postulados trascienden a toda la Universidad, abrimos este llamado a todas las áreas del conocimiento que puedan así enriquecer el debate, criterio que fue asumido ya desde el 1° Encuentro realizado en setiembre de 2015.
Así, se espera que se avance en la discusión acerca del rol social del profesional universitario y sus capacidades para analizar integralmente y aportar en la solución de los problemas sociales locales y regionales que la presente realidad nos está demandando. Se rescatan las conclusiones elaboradas en asamblea durante la última jornada del 1° Encuentro y el mandato recibido para organizar este 2° Encuentro en la sede de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
En esta oportunidad convocamos a presentar trabajos que profundicen el análisis de las líneas ya abordadas y estimulamos a nuevas aperturas acerca del devenir actual de las cuestiones trabajadas. Para ello, se redefinen los ejes temáticos de la convocatoria tratando de alcanzar ampliamente las problemáticas surgidas en los intercambios.Fil: Boucinhas, Caio. Universidade de São Paulo; Brasi
Adelmo Genro Filho e a teoria do jornalismo no Brasil: uma análise crítica
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2015.A afirmação de Adelmo Genro Filho, em "O Segredo da Pirâmide: para uma teoria marxista do jornalismo", de que o jornalismo é uma forma de conhecimento cristalizada no singular mobilizou jornalistas, pesquisadores e professores nos últimos 27 anos para instituição e legitimidade das teorias do jornalismo no Brasil. Com o arcabouço teórico e filosófico da Ontologia Crítica de Marx e Lukács, este estudo expõe as mediações presentes na produção e recepção da teoria, bem como os conceitos filosóficos que fundamentam a assertiva de Genro Filho. O trabalho divide-se em duas partes interdependentes. Na primeira, são trabalhadas as principais questões que se impunham para o jornalismo brasileiro nos anos 1980 (com ênfase para a formação acadêmica, a escrita jornalística e a hierarquia dos profissionais), a biografia do autor e o modo como o livro foi recepcionado pelos professores e pesquisadores em jornalismo no Brasil. A segunda parte reconstitui as bases filosóficas do livro, recuperando o entendimento ontológico do autor e o modo como esses fundamentos otimizam sua compreensão do jornalismo como forma de conhecimento. O objetivo é o de demonstrar como as escolhas teóricas do autor possuem estreita ligação com sua biografia e o modo como ele compreendia as questões de sua época. Ao passo que, por meio de análise do modo de recepção do livro, foi possível estabelecer uma cartografia da produção brasileira com base em 411 textos que citam "O Segredo da Pirâmide", evidenciando que o processo de institucionalização para a defesa do jornalismo como profissão, graduação especializada e com teorias específicas coincide com esse mapa. Paradoxalmente, demonstra-se que o processo de recepção do livro se faz acompanhar de uma negação da peculiar base marxista que o fundamenta, o que motiva o estudo detalhado das categorias utilizadas por Genro Filho.Abstract : In the book ?O Segredo da Pirâmide: para uma teoria marxista do jornalismo" [?The Secret of the Pyramid: for a Marxist theory of journalism"], Adelmo Genro Filho stated that journalism is a form of knowledge that is crystallized in the singular. This statement has mobilized journalists, researchers and professors over the last 27 years for the institution and legitimacy of theories of journalism in Brazil. With the theoretical and philosophical framework of Critical Ontology of Marx and Lukács, this study exposes the mediations present in the production and reception of the theory and the philosophical concepts that ground the Genro Filho's statement. The work is divided into two interdependent parts. At first, the text brings the main issues that were necessary to the Brazilian journalism in the 1980s (with emphasis on the academic, journalistic writing and the hierarchy of professionals), the author's biography and how the book was received by professors and researchers on journalism in Brazil. The second part reconstitutes the philosophical bases of the book, recovering the ontological understanding of the author towards journalism and how those fundamentals optimize the understanding of journalism as a form of knowledge proposed by the author. The objective was to demonstrate how the author's theoretical choices have close connection with his biography and how he understood the issues of his time. Simultaneously, through the analysis about the book's reception, it was possible to establish a cartography of the Brazilian production based on 411 texts mentioning "The Secret of the Pyramid", evidencing that the process of institutionalization for the defense of journalism as a profession, specialized graduation and with specific theories coincides with that map. Paradoxically, it is demonstrated that the book's reception process is accompanied by a denial of peculiar Marxist basis underlying it, which motivates the detailed study of the categories used by Genro Filho

Following the finding of the variability in anterior eyes development, the length and slenderness of palpal chelae, and the number and shape of chelal fingers teeth, the author thought it possible to distinguish two “ecological races”, informally called A and B. On the basis of the data published by Inzaghi (1987), these two forms possess, respectively: anterior eyes reduced to eye-spots (A), anterior eyes with flat lens (B); length of palpal chela 0.825–0.93 mm (♂) or 0.89–0.97 mm (♀) (A), 0.76–0.79 mm (♂) or 1.0– 1.1 mm (♀) (B); palpal chela 5.8–6.15 (♂) or 5.4–5.7 (♀) (A), 5.45–5.6 (♂) or 5.1–5.3 (♀) (B) times as long as deep; ratio of movable finger/hand of chela 2.2–2.3 (♂) or 2.1–2.25 (♀) (A), 2.0–2.05 (♂) or 2.0 (♀) (B); number of teeth of the fixed chelal finger 49–53 (♂) or 43–46 (♀) (A), 35–38 (♂) or 32–38 (♀) (B); number of teeth of the movable chelal finger 37–40 (♂) or 35–40 (♀) (A), 31–36 (♂) or 30–31 (♀) (B).</p> <p> The specimens examined here as <i>Chthonius comottii</i> share, with rare exceptions (see the above Description of adults), the same carapacal chaetotaxy (m 4m:6:4:2:m 2m), the presence of 2 lateral microsetae on the cheliceral palm, a weakly raised spinneret in males and the coupled sensilla <i>pc</i> lodged between <i>sb -st</i> on a noticeable tubercle. The anterior eyes are always reduced to a flat lens, rarely almost absent, but with the tapetum still present (♀ from Buco dello Scoiattolo, Valduggia). The measurements and ratios vary widely within the range of the species and include most of those detected by Inzaghi (1987); the specimens with larger dimensions are the subterranean ones from the caves near Borgosesia and Valduggia, province of Vercelli, which also show a wide intra-populational variability [Tana dell’Armittu (♂ ♀): palpal chela length 1.02–1.20 mm, movable chelal finger 0.70–0.81 mm; Bocc d’la Mocia (♀): palpal chela length 1.07–1.17 mm, movable chelal finger 0.705–0.78 mm]. As emphasized by Inzaghi (1987: 174, footnote 2), large specimens usually have more widely spaced chelal teeth, while smaller specimens have closer teeth. Regardless of size, the most evident variability in dentition concerns the shape and the reciprocal distance of distal teeth of the fixed chelal finger, as shown in figs 92–96, which represents the range of variability of the dentition of the chelal fingers. The variability of the epistome (Figs 77–78) is much wider than that described by Inzaghi (1987: 170, figs 10–11, 13–15). The size of specimens from Tessin (Generoso Mt.) measured by De Vore- Scribante (1999) is sometimes (carapace, palpal femur, chelal finger) a little higher than that reported here.</p> <p> The high variability of <i>Chthonius comottii</i> indicates that this is a species-complex that current morphological taxonomy is unable to detect.</p> <p> Among the species of the <i>Chthonius ischnocheles</i> group, <i>C. comottii</i> is related to the epigean or hypogean <i>C. agazzii</i>, known from Friuli to Trentino. Both species share the presence of 1 preocular microseta on each side, a similar chelal pattern, the same number of chelal teeth and the movable chelal finger with coupled sensilla <i>pc</i> lodged on a noticeable tubercle. <i>C. comottii</i> differs from <i>C. agazzii</i> mainly in the following characters: posterior margin of carapace with 1 microseta on each side (with 2 macrosetae, without lateral microsetae in <i>C. agazzii</i>); chelicerae with 2 lateral microsetae (with 1 microseta in <i>C. agazzii</i>).</p> <p> <i>Chthonius comottii</i> and <i>C. agazzii</i> are vicariant in the Alps: the first from Lombardy to western Liguria, the latter from Friuli to Trentino.</p>Published as part of <i>Gardini, Giulio, 2021, The Italian species of the Chthonius ischnocheles group (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones, Chthoniidae), with reference to neighbouring countries, pp. 1-131 in Zootaxa 4987 (1)</i> on pages 27-31, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4987.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4979653">http://zenodo.org/record/4979653</a>

Following the finding of the variability in anterior eyes development, the length and slenderness of palpal chelae, and the number and shape of chelal fingers teeth, the author thought it possible to distinguish two “ecological races”, informally called A and B. On the basis of the data published by Inzaghi (1987), these two forms possess, respectively: anterior eyes reduced to eye-spots (A), anterior eyes with flat lens (B); length of palpal chela 0.825–0.93 mm (♂) or 0.89–0.97 mm (♀) (A), 0.76–0.79 mm (♂) or 1.0– 1.1 mm (♀) (B); palpal chela 5.8–6.15 (♂) or 5.4–5.7 (♀) (A), 5.45–5.6 (♂) or 5.1–5.3 (♀) (B) times as long as deep; ratio of movable finger/hand of chela 2.2–2.3 (♂) or 2.1–2.25 (♀) (A), 2.0–2.05 (♂) or 2.0 (♀) (B); number of teeth of the fixed chelal finger 49–53 (♂) or 43–46 (♀) (A), 35–38 (♂) or 32–38 (♀) (B); number of teeth of the movable chelal finger 37–40 (♂) or 35–40 (♀) (A), 31–36 (♂) or 30–31 (♀) (B).</p> <p> The specimens examined here as <i>Chthonius comottii</i> share, with rare exceptions (see the above Description of adults), the same carapacal chaetotaxy (m 4m:6:4:2:m 2m), the presence of 2 lateral microsetae on the cheliceral palm, a weakly raised spinneret in males and the coupled sensilla <i>pc</i> lodged between <i>sb -st</i> on a noticeable tubercle. The anterior eyes are always reduced to a flat lens, rarely almost absent, but with the tapetum still present (♀ from Buco dello Scoiattolo, Valduggia). The measurements and ratios vary widely within the range of the species and include most of those detected by Inzaghi (1987); the specimens with larger dimensions are the subterranean ones from the caves near Borgosesia and Valduggia, province of Vercelli, which also show a wide intra-populational variability [Tana dell’Armittu (♂ ♀): palpal chela length 1.02–1.20 mm, movable chelal finger 0.70–0.81 mm; Bocc d’la Mocia (♀): palpal chela length 1.07–1.17 mm, movable chelal finger 0.705–0.78 mm]. As emphasized by Inzaghi (1987: 174, footnote 2), large specimens usually have more widely spaced chelal teeth, while smaller specimens have closer teeth. Regardless of size, the most evident variability in dentition concerns the shape and the reciprocal distance of distal teeth of the fixed chelal finger, as shown in figs 92–96, which represents the range of variability of the dentition of the chelal fingers. The variability of the epistome (Figs 77–78) is much wider than that described by Inzaghi (1987: 170, figs 10–11, 13–15). The size of specimens from Tessin (Generoso Mt.) measured by De Vore- Scribante (1999) is sometimes (carapace, palpal femur, chelal finger) a little higher than that reported here.</p> <p> The high variability of <i>Chthonius comottii</i> indicates that this is a species-complex that current morphological taxonomy is unable to detect.</p> <p> Among the species of the <i>Chthonius ischnocheles</i> group, <i>C. comottii</i> is related to the epigean or hypogean <i>C. agazzii</i>, known from Friuli to Trentino. Both species share the presence of 1 preocular microseta on each side, a similar chelal pattern, the same number of chelal teeth and the movable chelal finger with coupled sensilla <i>pc</i> lodged on a noticeable tubercle. <i>C. comottii</i> differs from <i>C. agazzii</i> mainly in the following characters: posterior margin of carapace with 1 microseta on each side (with 2 macrosetae, without lateral microsetae in <i>C. agazzii</i>); chelicerae with 2 lateral microsetae (with 1 microseta in <i>C. agazzii</i>).</p> <p> <i>Chthonius comottii</i> and <i>C. agazzii</i> are vicariant in the Alps: the first from Lombardy to western Liguria, the latter from Friuli to Trentino.</p>Published as part of <i>Gardini, Giulio, 2021, The Italian species of the Chthonius ischnocheles group (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones, Chthoniidae), with reference to neighbouring countries, pp. 1-131 in Zootaxa 4987 (1)</i> on pages 27-31, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4987.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10086770">http://zenodo.org/record/10086770</a>

Dichotrachelus alpestris STIERLIN 1878
No full text<i>Dichotrachelus alpestris</i> species group <p> Characterization (modified after Osella 1970): small species (3.2–4.9 mm); 3 rd tarsal segment narrow, about as wide as previous segments; pronotum elongate and cylindrical; rostrum slender, straight to slightly bowed; aedeagus with subtruncated apex; distributed from the Western Alps (France, Vercors) eastwards to the southern Bernina massif (Switzerland).</p> <p> Type material examined: <i>D. walteri</i>: 4 specimens (cMB). A ♂ lectotype and 3 paralectotypes were selected and are designated here in agreement with Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (2000). Label data: 1 ♂: PIEM. – 1946 G. Paradiso C.

Remark: the apex of the aedeagus of the ♂ paralectotype is damaged.</p> <p> <b>Proposed synonymy</b></p> <p> Barajon (1947: 32) described <i>D. walteri</i> based on "...quattro esemplari (2 ♂ e 2 ♀) di una nuova specie..." "...catturato il 15-7-1946..." from Colle Arietta (Gran Paradiso massif). However, already Osella (1970) reported in his revision only minute morphological differences with respect to <i>D. alpestris</i>. These differences are summarized: Elytral vestiture consisting only of dark brownish scales; Striae less pronounced, third interval diverging towards the elytral decline, its width more than twice the size at base; Elytra more oval shaped and gracile; Pronotum laterally more strongly rounded; Eyes slightly bigger and protruding; Rostrum longer and less curved; Scape of the antennae regularly enlarged, longer than <i>D. alpestris.</i> An examination of the type series (cMB), and the examination of further material (cVR), and their comparison with 133 specimens of <i>D. alpestris</i> (Appendix 1) showed that these differences – including furthermore the shape of the aedeagus (Figs 11–16, 20) – fall into the variability observed in <i>D. alpestris</i>. Therefore I propose the following synonymy: <i>Dichotrachelus alpestris</i> STIERLIN, 1878 = <i>walteri</i> BARAJON, 1947 <b>syn. nov.</b></p> Key to the species of the <i>alpestris</i> species group <p> <b>1</b> Elytra laterally rounded with maximal width in the middle.

The most eastern finds I know are fairly isolated on the top of Monte Generoso in the canton Ticino. <i>D. augusti</i> form I is restricted to Valle d'Aosta, around the Monte Rosa massif, northwards to the Saas Valley. Form II is known from Great St Bernard, including Val Ferret in Switzerland. Form III is presently only known from Col de Balme. <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. is exclusively known from Corn dal Solcun in the Valposchiavo.</p> <p> Bionomy: <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. lives in moss cushions (Bryophyta, Musci) of <i>Grimmia</i> cf. <i>sessitana</i> DE NOT., <i>Racomitrium heterostichum</i> (HEDW.) BRID., and <i>Tortella tortuosa</i> (HEDW.) LIMPR. Four larvae were found at the type locality (Corn dal Solcun), one in the presumably second, and three in the last larval instar (Fig. 29). Very soon, on July 6 th, one larva pupated under room temperature conditions (Figs 30, 31). The imago hatched about one week later (Fig. 32). Two of the paratype specimens were also freshly emerged when collected. I conclude that <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. may develop within one season. <i>D. sondereggeri</i> sp. nov. was exclusively found in or near moss cushions within small scree slopes at the very top of Corn dal Solcun (Figs 33, 34) between 2300–2500 m a.s.l. However, the single specimen collected by C. Besuchet at the foot of a rock was found at a somewhat lower altitude (2050– 2100 m a.s.l.), where dwarf shrub heath dominates the vegetation (Fig. 35).</p> <p> Derivation of species name: The new species <i>Dichotrachelus sondereggeri</i> is named after the renowned expert of various lepidopteran groups, co-founder and co-author of the famous standard work for lepidopterologists "Schmetterlinge und ihre Lebensräume" and author of "Die Erebien der Schweiz ", gifted field entomologist and amiable colleague Peter Sonderegger (Brügg).</p>Published as part of <i>Germann, Christoph, 2011, Review of the Dichotrachelus alpestris STIERLIN, 1878 species group with evidence for a species complex of D. augusti F.
