This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la actualidad, la conservación del ambiente es un tema de relevancia a nivel mundial, por la repercusión que tiene en las estrategias de desarrollo y de competitividad, así como en la propia dinámica de los países tendientes a buscar los añorados patrones de sostenibilidad. La contabilidad es un área que ha tenido un desarrollo vertiginoso en los últimos años, motivado por los profundos cambios y la dinámica de los entornos empresariales que han reconfigurado los patrones de comportamiento de este campo. Sin embargo, no ha perdido su esencia, manteniendo su carácter normativo bajo condiciones de relevancia, transparencia y fiabilidad de los hechos económicos. Día con día, en los círculos académicos, es más latente el interés por proporcionarle a esta área del conocimiento funciones para establecer patrones de acción y comportamiento para mejorar la situación ambiental de las empresas. Es por ello que ha surgido un área que por su importancia ha motivado a académicos, empresarios e investigadores, y que está destinada precisamente a cubrir expectativas de información teniendo como base la racionalidad de recursos: la contabilidad financiera ambiental. La presente obra está dedicada a abordar, desde una perspectiva teórica, algunas experiencias que se han obtenido, tanto en México como en Cuba, con el consenso de que sin duda el camino hacia la normatividad contable ambiental es aún incipiente.
Download or read book Greenhouse Design and Control written by Pedro Ponce and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural production is one of the main keys to the development of healthy societies. It is anticipated that agricultural systems will increasingly have to contend with temperature, humidity and water stress in the near future. This makes the need to increase the efficiency of land and water use ever more urgent. The control and design of greenhouses allows to increase dramatically the quality of crops and extend the cultivation period year-round. A properly designed autonomous greenhouse based on hydroponics can greatly reduce the amounts of nutrients and energy expended in agricultural production. This book deals with different types of greenhouses, materials, structures, advanced control techniques and tendencies that are needed for designing and controlling an advanced greenhouse. The control system is presented as an integral system which covers the explanation of basic and advanced concepts for a real time controller. Also, structural analysis is introduced, whereby mechanical design is regarded as a key factor. The book incorporates simulations and experimental results, and utilizes LabVIEW and ADAMS software. Finally, it provides a perspective on the present state and future of greenhouses globally. Written in a highly accessible manner, this book will prove useful to horticulturalists, agricultural engineers, greenhouse engineers and designers. Its easy-to-absorb contents are also suitable for (under)graduate students and researchers in agricultural and electronic engineering, horticulture, crop cultivation and soft computing.

Download or read book Pachamama Politics written by Teresa A. Velásquez and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecuador became the first country in the world to grant the Pachamama, or Mother Earth, constitutional rights in 2008. This landmark achievement represented a shift to incorporate Indigenous philosophies of Sumak Kawsay or Buen Vivir (to live well) as a framework for social and political change. The extraordinary move coincided with the rise of neoextractivism, where the self-described socialist President Rafael Correa contended that Buen Vivir could be achieved through controversial mining projects on Indigenous and campesino territories, including their watersheds. Pachamama Politics provides a rich ethnographic account of the tensions that follow from neoextractivism in the southern Ecuadorian Andes, where campesinos mobilized to defend their community-managed watershed from a proposed gold mine. Positioned as an activist-scholar, Teresa A. Velásquez takes the reader inside the movement—alongside marches, road blockades, and river and high-altitude wetlands—to expose the rifts between social movements and the “pink tide” government. When the promise of social change turns to state criminalization of water defenders, Velásquez argues that the contradictions of neoextractivism created the political conditions for campesinos to reconsider their relationship to indigeneity. The book takes an intersectional approach to the study of anti-mining struggles and explains how campesino communities and their allies identified with and redeployed Indigenous cosmologies to defend their water as a life-sustaining entity. Pachamama Politics shows why progressive change requires a shift away from the extractive model of national development to a plurinational defense of community water systems and Indigenous peoples and their autonomy.

Download or read book La Gerencia de la Desconfianza written by Carlos Valero-Hernández and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este es un libro enfocado en las organizaciones en general, donde se analiza con sentido multidisciplinario las interacciones y formas de vida de las personas para comprender que su ordenación esta determinada y se relaciona con la orientación seguida por la sociedad y la cultura. Se hace referencia cierta al dilema confianza-desconfianza como característica peculiar de la crisis que se vive en el entorno institucional latinoamericano producto de un estilo de pensamiento esquizoparanoide desarrollado en muchos adultos por múltiples factores y elementos intrínsecos propios, en su mayoría vinculados con el impulso silencioso de las fuerzas ambientales y el poder de mando en todas sus perspectivas. En el libro se discuten y abarcan, por lo menos, tres grupos temáticos diferenciados y relacionados con la desconfianza: 1) Como en América Latina y el Caribe, las diferencias culturales y de producción de las personas han interactuado con las experiencias de desigualdades sostenidas y desarrolladas permanentemente para crear e impulsar la incredulidad y la desconfianza 2) Como numerosos factores extrínsecos (políticos, económicos, educativos, jurídicos, tecnológicos y otros) han afectado los comportamientos, el rendimiento, y las formas de intercambio de las personas, a través de las transformaciones históricas de la región, influyendo en la desconfianza de la gente, y 3) Como el conocimiento sobre factores humanos intrínsecos puede ayudar a los directivos y gerentes para anticipar, dirigir, y aprovechar de manera institucional programas de medición y transformación con acciones positivas para promover y mejorar el aprendizaje y la confianza. Se trata de un enfoque interpretativo sobre acontecimientos evidentes que busca contribuir con proposiciones sobre como "gerenciar la desconfianza," haciendo reflexiones e invitando a los administradores y directivos, de los sectores público y privado de la economía, para analizar, discutir y evaluar causas y consecuencias categóricas que se generan, delimitan, y propagan en el comportamiento individual y social de los miembros de cualquier organización. Especialmente, cuando los niveles de la desconfianza crecen producto de problemas no resueltos y de actitudes negativas ante respuestas inconsistentes, lo que influye a su vez en la cultura de la desconfianza afectando e infectando a la comunidad y la sociedad. Si el contenido del escrito llega a sus manos por cualquier medio, en cualquier tiempo, trate de leerlo, entenderlo, compartirlo, y comentarlo con otros positivamente, con confianza, aunque sea de tiempo en tiempo. Recuerda que ha sido escrito para ti y para otros, en la búsqueda de aprendizaje y desarrollo, durante el tiempo que nos ha tocado trabajar y vivir en nuestro medio, para no repetir en el futuro acciones negativas limitantes y así mejorar los niveles de confianza en nuestras instituciones y sociedad.
Download or read book Blood of Extraction written by Todd Gordon and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-07T00:00:00Z with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rooted in thousands of pages of Access to Information documents and dozens of interviews carried out throughout Latin America, Blood of Extraction examines the increasing presence of Canadian mining companies in Latin America and the environmental and human rights abuses that have occurred as a result. By following the money, Gordon and Webber illustrate the myriad ways Canadian-based multinational corporations, backed by the Canadian state, have developed extensive economic interests in Latin America over the last two decades at the expense of Latin American people and the environment. Latin American communities affected by Canadian resource extraction are now organized into hundreds of opposition movements, from Mexico to Argentina, and the authors illustrate the strategies used by the Canadian state to silence this resistance and advance corporate interests.
