Titi Monkey Project

The production of coal from biomass emerges as a sustainable alternative, both to take advantage of waste and to protect the environment. This research aims to take advantage of aguaje seeds to make ecochar. First, the seeds (from Pucallpa and Yurimaguas) were characterized proximally. They were then characterized morphologically (length, diameter, and weight), both fresh and dehydrated. In the second part,the carbonization was carried out, using a Completely Random Design with factorial arrangement. The first factor was the state of the seed (fresh and dehydrated), and the second was the carbonization method (open and boxed), the response variable being yield. In the third stage, briquettes were made, mainly evaluating the calorific value. The results showed that solar dehydration similarly reduced the weight of the seeds. The state of the seed and the carbonization method have a significant effect on the yield, being the best treatment with dry seed and open carbonization (yield 25.77%). This treatment also obtained the highest calorific value (6716.93 cal/g) in the final briquettes, higher by almost 25% than that of traditional briquettes.

Resumen

La perspectiva de género es un enfoque influyente en el contexto actual; sin embargo, los estudios regionales no han profundizado en su génesis e impacto en el ámbito jurídico. Por tal razón, la presente investigación pretende evidenciar cómo dentro de las reflexiones de Miguelina Aurora Acosta Cárdenas, abogada litigante del siglo XX, ya se visualiza una clara comprensión y delimitación del fenómeno en mención; por consiguiente, a partir del análisis de los artículos «Reacción femenina en 1918» y «La absolución de Victoria Alfaro y el juez Dr. Federico Pflucker en 1919», se intenta demostrar que dentro de la obra de esta autora existen aportes significativos como el de la consideración de la perspectiva de género o análisis contextual, estructural-histórico, de la situación femenina a la hora del ejercicio del derecho a la legítima defensa.

White-browed titi monkeys (Callicebus discolor) have one of the largest distribution ranges of all titi monkey species, occurring from central Peru to southern Colombia. During a long-term study on the distribution of titi monkeys and other primates in Peru, we conducted extensive surveys in the San Martin Department of northeastern Peru. We encountered Callicebus discolor at the left bank of the Huallaga River, where the species most probably lives in sympatry with endemic San Martin titi monkeys (Callicebus oenanthe). Our study reveals an important extension of its formerly known distribution range. Massive deforestation activities in the region make studies on the habitat preferences of both species difficult, as most titi monkeys are confined to the remaining small remnants of the original forest. Urgent conservation measures are necessary to preserve the last lowland forests of San Martin.
