Burning fossil fuel in the North American continent contributes more to the CO2 global warming problem than in any other continent. The resulting climate changes are expected to alter food production. The overall changes in temperature, moisture, carbon dioxide, insect pests, plant pathogens, and weeds associated with global warming are projected to reduce food production in North America. However, in Africa, the projected slight rise in rainfall is encouraging, especially since Africa already suffers from severe shortages of rainfall. For all (...) regions, a reduction in fossil fuel burning is vital. Adoption of sound ecological resource management, especially soil and water conservation and the prevention of deforestation, is important. Together, these steps will benefit agriculture, the environment, farmers, and society as a whole. (shrink)

Durant les années 1970 en Amérique latine, le « courant critique » est très actif dans la reformulation des méthodologies, des objets d'études et des objectifs de la recherche en communication. Dans ce contexte, il élabore le modèle de communication participative en rupture avec le diffusionnisme en prenant comme point de départ la théorie de la dépendance et du colonialisme interne. Ce modèle questionne les relations verticales dans une société donnée. En partant du cas de la radiodiffusion en Bolivie , (...) est-il possible de comprendre les pratiques communicationnelles populaires? Quels sont les conditions et les contextes qui favorisent leur émergence et jusqu'à quel point parviennent-elles à leurs objectifs de démocratisation?.During the 1970s in Latin America, the "critical current" is very active in the reformulation of the methodologies, objects of study and research objectives in communication. In this context, it develops the model of participatory communication break with diffusionism taking as starting point the theory of internal colonialism and dependency. This model asks vertical relationships in a given society. Starting from the case of broadcasting in Bolivia , is it possible to understand the communicative practices popular? What are the conditions and contexts in which they emerge and to what extent they succeed in their goals of democratization? (shrink)

Non una pacifica esplorazione ma un’avanscoperta bellicosa, in sardonica guerrilla con alcuni baluardi della tradizione filosofica occidentale: le leggi e il linguaggio della metafisica, la concezione stabile e unitaria dell'identità personale, il modello tragico della volontà, il pregiudizio antropocentrico e l’asservimento della natura al dominio della tecnica. Senza la pretesa di comporre un discorso esaustivo o sistematico, Capra recupera soprattutto Nietzsche e il Wittgenstein delle Ricerche Logiche in una (auto)critica comparativa, per mostrare in quali modi il pensiero correlativo delle (...) filosofie orientali possa integrare e talvolta superare le impasse del pensiero antitetico.

Se intenta explicar la conexión entre la existencia y el propósito de la Crítica de la razón pura (fundamentar la metafísica). Para ello se tratan algunos aspectos básicos de la comprensión kantiana del conocimiento humano, así como de la concepción kantiana de la existencia objetiva. Los análisis r..

El presente texto presenta una reflexión sobre lo que es y representa la literatura filosófica para el escritor y filósofo desde el referente teórico del autor español Don Miguel de Unamuno, filósofo y literato; muestra cómo en la literatura y en la filosofía se conjugan la vida y la muerte de todos los que intervienen en ella (autor, personajes y lector), como la paradoja misma del vivir haciendo un recorrido crítico-reflexivo fundamentado en tres conceptos que son la literatura, la filosofía (...) y la vida. Como fruto de esta reflexión se plantea que para el filósofo la vida es una aventura íntima y discontinua. (shrink)

Τα θραύσματα κεραμικής που εξετάζονται εδώ, προέρχονται, στην πλειονότητα τους, από την επιφανειακή έρευνα στην πεδιάδα των Μαλίων. Το ενδιαφέρον των οστράκων αυτών, συχνά πολύ φθαρμένων, βρίσκεται στην προέλευση τους : graffûa arcaica προερχόμενα από μεσαιωνικά εργαστήρια της πεδιάδας του Πάδου και οθωμανική κεραμική από τα Δαρδανέλια και τη Θράκη.
