Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of most consumed foods in the world, being of great economic importance for Colombians. Rice crops is commonly affected by pests, which requires the use of agrochemicals that also contaminate the environment and harm human health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of aqueous extracts from Azadiracta indica leaves, a plant known for its repellent function, on insect populations in an experimental rice crop in vegetative phase. The treatments of the rice ice plots were done with three aqueous dissolutions prepared from A. indica leaves (T1 = 5 %, T2 = 10 %, T3 = 20 %); also, a negative control (T4 = 0 %) was used. Sampling of the insect population was carried out weekly in order to check the efficacy of the extracts. A total of 7418 individuals belonging to 12 orders were processed. Diptera (2720) was the most representative order, followed by Hemiptera (1854), and Coleoptera (1045). No significant pests were found. Delphacidae was the most abundant family (92 individuals were captured). An efficacy of 74% was observed in the third treatment (T3). It was concluded that the use of A. indica had a controlling effect on the insect population of the crop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The chemical and biological risk, there are the main risks to which there are exhibited the collaborators of the plant of composting of the sugar ingenuity, undoubtedly it is possible of illnesses of respiratory type and of the skin, as well as of infectious illnesses, which affects straight the productivity of the company. There was used a descriptive study which methodology was realized in three phases, the first one of diagnosis and identification of dangers, immediately according to the results of the lists of checkup, a counterfoil DOFA was realized, then the problems trees turned into targets trees replacing each of the problems and consequences for the solutions, this way there were defined the priority targets to be tackled, to reach the actions of progress in the process of the composting. Of the obtained results it is highlighted that the biological risk has a risk interpretation III (tall, improvable) and represents 55,6 %, while the chemical risk with a risk interpretation I (very tall, critical) represents 44,4 %. Also it must be mentioned that the composting plant presents a deficit in the measurements of prevention and protection for the nonperformance of the current legal regulations in safety and health. It is important that the composting plant begins managing the fulfillment of the established in the program of intervention proposed for the same one, for thus diminish the vulnerability of the personnel exposed to biological and chemical risks.

In this paper we aim to deepen the epistemological aspects and practice of social research from the perspective of gender studies. Starting from the complexity of the research methodology and the diversity of feminist approaches, we will work in clarifying some concepts about what does "feminist research" means and we will attempt to answer some of the issues involved in it. Is there a feminist method? Is it possible to consider a more consistent methodology types with feminism than others? From the research with a gender perspective have raised strong criticism of traditional epistemologies and methodologies, among many other questionable aspects claim served to legitimize or justify situations of subordination, marginalization or exclusion of women in certain fields. Remove sexist and androcentric biases that weigh down knowledge since immemorial time is a main point of feminist research programs, which increasingly focus their attention on the methods by which we obtain the "evidences" on which the various sciences are built.

Sacha Inchi is a euphorbiaceae known as the Inca peanut that is found in Peru in San Martin, Huánuco, Amazonas, Loreto and Madre de Dios. Objective: To determine the activity of the phenolic compounds of sacha inchi seeds and its role in the color, durability, taste of food and drink. Material and Methods: This study was performed with sacha inchi seeds collected in Tarapoto by the National Institute of Agricultural Research and Extension (INIA) in the Center of Biochemistry and Nutrition, Faculty of Human Medicine USMP. The determination of total polyphenols was performed according to Aparicio et al. (1999), total tannins as described by Price and Butler (1977) and antioxidant activity by the ORAC method described by Prior and Cao (2000). Also, the ability to inhibit hydrogen peroxide according Wettasinghe and Shahidi (1999) and their reducing power by Srivastava et al. (2006). We worked with the oil and cake obtained of each sample obtaining hydrophilic and lipophilic extracts. Results: We found higher total polyphenol content, total tannins, higher reducing power, greater ability to inhibit hydrogen peroxide and increased antioxidant capacity in the hydrophilic extract of cake. Conclusions: cake hydrophilic extract of sacha inchi showed higher content of total polyphenols and tannins with antioxidant action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An evaluation of the nutritional content of yacón coming from five departments of Perú: Cajamarca, Junín, Huánuco, Lima and Puno was performed. We determined the contents of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and minerals like magnesium, copper and iron. Samples from Lima showed higher content of proteins (4,52%) and copper (1,14 mg/100g), while samples from Huánuco had higher contents of magnesium (77,2 mg/100g). Samples from Junin show higher contents of fat (0,47%), existing significant differences com- pared to those coming from Lima (0,05%),There was a significant difference in the contents of fiber, being higher in samples from Cajamarca (3,31%) while the content of other nutrients were similar.

This article presents the process of construction of criteria to qualify math tests in order to reduce the variability in the grades given by different correctors. From the identification of undesirable-phenomena in correction process, we provide theoretical guidelines to generate qualification criteria that are empirically tested and refined in two consecutive studies. The results of the study show that Rating Criteria by Categorization of proposed tasks effectively decrease the variability in the scores in math tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) researchers focus on the performance of the firms indexed in their field, and they reach different conclusions. This paper analyses if there are differences in financial performance of companies considered as highly socially responsible (those that compose the Spanish sustainability index FTSE4Good IBEX) as well as other IBEX companies not included in that index. We theoretically examine the relationship between a Jinn responsible behaviour and its financial performance. We also make an empirical study to analyse this relationship. The results show that the differential aspects between both groups of companies are market risk variables and debts and size variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
