Conceptualizing power to study social-ecological interactions
Provedor de dados: Ecology and Society
Autores: Boonstra, Wiebren J; Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University; wijnand.boonstra@su.se.
My aim is to conceptualize power using social science theory and to demonstrate why and how the concept of power can complement resilience studies and other analyses of social-ecological interaction. Social power as a scientific concept refers to the ability to influence both conduct and context. These two dimensions of power (conduct and context) can be observed by differentiating between various sources of power, including, for example, technology or mental power. The relevance of the conceptualization of power presented here is illustrated with the example of fire as a source of social-ecological power. I conclude by discussing how attention to power can help to address issues of social justice and responsibility in social-ecological interactions.

Aridez mental: problema maior.
Provedor de dados: Informação Tecnológica em Agricultura (Infoteca-e)
Autores: SILVA, J. de S.
Mais grave que a aridez das terras é a aridez das mentes (em todos os níveis). Naquelas, a falta de um manejo adequado e o desrespeito à harmonia dos fatores ambientais podem deflagrar um processo de desertificação capaz de exaurir sua fertilidade natural e tornar impossível a vida organizada dos vegetais e animais. Nestas, a pouca sensibilidade e a falta de vontade, de conhecimento, de consciência, de de decisão de educação, podem desencadear um processo de alienação capaz de fazer abortar idéias de progresso e de levar o homem a permanecer num caminhar estéril para o nada. Por mais férteis que sejam as terras, mentes estéreis jamais conseguirão dinamizar a exploração racional do seu potencial.

Diagnóstico sócio-econômico da indústria madeireira Peracchi, no município de Tailândia, Estado do Pará.
Provedor de dados: Informação Tecnológica em Agricultura (Infoteca-e)
Autores: POKORNY, B.; SOUSA, R.
O principal objetivo do diagnostico foi obter uma visão geral sobre a serraria da empresa Peracchi, no município de Tailândia, PA, como um dos parceiros potenciais do projeto "Manejo florestal sustentável em escala comercial na Amazônia brasileira", realizando através do convenio entre a Embrapa Amazônia Oriental e o Centro Internacional de Pesquisa Florestal (Cifor). O levantamento considerou a descrição geral da região e dos atores envolvidos no processo de uso da floresta, bem como a analise financeira da serraria. As informações de campo foram levantadas em duas semanas, em outubro de 1998, pelos técnicos envolvidos no projeto e por um grupo de estudantes de engenharia florestal da Faculdade de Ciências Agrarias do Para (FCAP). O diagnostico mostrou...

L'argent (Ag, nanoAg) comme contaminant émergeant dans l'Estuaire de la Gironde : évaluations scientifiques et gouvernance des risques
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Salles, Denis; Roumezi, Alexis; Lanceleur, Laurent; Schaefer, Jorg; Petit, Jerome; Blanc, Gerard; Coynel, Alexandra; Chiffoleau, Jean-francois; Auger, Dominique.
This article presents the results of multidisciplinary research (geochemistry, sociology) into the increasing concentrations of silver (Ag and nanoAg) in the environment and their potential impact on aquatic environments. We investigate simultaneously the risk of contamination of these environments by silver and the process of the social and political construction of this risk by water managers, health authorities, agencies and committees responsible for expert evaluations, environmental associations, and potential users of silver or nano-silver. Four updated models of risk construction allow us to understand the logic of arguments mobilized at this stage of the emerging risk. This interdisciplinary cooperation opens up possibilities for dealing with some...

Generality of the relationship between attributions and depression across attributional dimensions and across samples
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Persons,   Jacqueline B.; Perloff,   Jeffrey M.
Two hypotheses implicit in the use of composite measures of attributions in tests of learned helplessness theory (but not implicit in the theory itself) were tested: the hypotheses that relationships between depression and the three types of attributions are equal in magnitude, and linear. To test these hypotheses, data from three published studies of the reformulated learned helplessness theory of depression (Abramson, Seligman, &amp; Teasdale, 1978) were reanalyzed. The hypothesis that internal, stable, and global attributions are equally related to depression was tested and rejected. Increases in internal attributions were related to depression in one sample: increases in global attributions for negative events were related to depression in two samples:...

GANADERIA EJIDAL Y EMIGRACION EN EL MUNICIPIO DE SAN LUIS DEL CORDERO, DURANGO, NORTE DE MÉXICO
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Orona Castillo,   Ignacio; Estrada Avalos,   Juan; Rangel Ramirez,   Gerardo; Espinoza Arellano,   Jose de Jesus; Vazquez Vazquez,   Cirilo; Salazar Sosa,   Enrique.
Extensive ejidal cattle in northern México has developed due adequate water soil and climate conditions; nevertheless, in the past few years a natural resources harm has been observed as well as a trend of emigration of the population. The methodology utilized in this paper was supported in a pool to ejidal cattle producers of the San Luis del Cordero County in the state of Durango, by means of stratified random sampling based on the number of cows. Results have shown that producers owning less than 20 cows depend mostly on remittances from emigrants. This group of producers also are less organized and with less technology for the agricultural and cattle activities. This study presents a characterization of the ejidal cattle production system identifying...
