EL MARCO LEGAL Y ENERGIAS LIMPIAS, CASO: REGIÓN NORTE DEL VALLE DEL CAUCA, COLOMBIA

Author(s): Fernando Moreno Betancourt,Ciro Alfonso Serna Mendoza / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

This article of refl ection seeks to investigate the legal and normative aspectsfor the promotion of clean and renewable energies, as well as to carry out the discussionof the expansion of the agricultural frontier to increase the monoculture of sugarcane inthe northern area of the Department of Valle del Cauca, a situation that is exploited andintensifi ed for the production of biofuels under the banner of greenhouse gas emissions;However, it allows a deep action to be taken of the social, environmental and economicimpacts for the communities of the region. Finally, a series of questions can be generatedto encourage research and debate about bioenergies and their future implications.

PRODUCCIÓN DE BIOCOMBUSTIBLES: UNA MIRADA DESDE EL DESARROLLO INTEGRAL DE LAS COMUNIDADES

Author(s): Diego Fernando Vargas,Jhon Fredy Betancur / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

Several countries around the world have questioned how to deal with climate change, andthe depletion of fossil fuels, through an international policy for sustainable development,that involves the clean energies generation. With this purpose, the Development Plan2005-2010 begins the regulation in Colombia of the biofuels production followed bymultiple regulatory provisions on renewable energy.As an alternative to fossil fuels, the sugarcane biofuels contribute to the conservationof the environment and they have widely documented benefi ts; however, from the pointof view the sustainable development of the communities, as in the Valle del Cauca case,could have negative social impacts such as land dispossession, increase in food prices,erosion of arable lands and lack of wáter; impacts that demand a paradigm of sustainabledevelopment that makes communities less vulnerable.

ALTERNATIVAS BIOLÓGICAS Y FISICOQUÍMICAS PARA EL TRATAMIENTO DE LIXIVIADOS PRODUCIDOS EN VERTEDEROS IN-SITU Y LA GENERACIÓN DE BIOGÁS

Author(s): Rafael Mauricio Padilla Moreno,Gabriel Cruz Cerón / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

The biological and physicochemical alternatives allow the leachate to be treatedto produce alternative energy through biogas and help mitigate the nvironmentalimpact generated by solid waste deposited in landfi lls. According to the above, the presentreview article inquires about the biological and physicochemical contribution thatis had on the handling of leachates and the production of biogas. In addition, the characteristicsand processes of leachate treatment as sustainable management technologiesare outlined in the article.

LOS SISTEMAS SILVOPASTORILES INTENSIVOS UNA ALTERNATIVA FRENTE A LOS DESAFIOS DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO

Author(s): Diana del Socorro Daza Ardila,William Fernando Castrillón Cardona,Claudia Jurado Alvarán / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

Intensive silvopastoral systems iSPS those are considered as a type of agroforestrysystems; they are characterized by managing multiple strata of vegetation; aims toimprove livestock production; and, favor the sustainable use of ecosystems.The iSPS contribute to the fulfi llment of the sustainable development objectives relatedto the conservation and sustainable management of ecosystems, with biodiversity,with climate change and with social indicators. The iSPS imitate ecological systems,making the unidirectional fl ow of energy more complex, favoring the movement of matterthrough biogeochemical cycles and increasing ecological relationships. In the SSPi theenrichment of the composition (number of species), structure (increase in strata) andfunction (enrichment of ecological relationships), protects surface and ground watersources, favors the maintenance of relative humidity, stabilizes the daily temperaturepeaks, It protects from torrential rains and creates microclimates with associated microhabitatsthat allow the arrival of new species increasing local diversity. In addition, theyfavor root exploration of soil horizons, reducing the risk of erosion, increasing percolationprocesses and maintaining humidity and improving abiotic conditions for edaphicpopulations. The SSPi contribute to the mitigation of climate change, by reducing theproduction of GHG greenhouse gases and by increasing the CO2 capture by the plantcommunity; and, favors the adaptation of human populations to climate change, protectingecosystems, favoring the sustainable management of ecosystems and increasingeconomic productivity.

DIAGNÓSTICO DE LA RELACIÓN ENTRE RECIPITACIONES Y LA OCURRENCIA DE PROCESOS DE REMOCIÓN EN MASA, EN EL MUNICIPIO DE PEREIRA, RISARALDA (COLOMBIA). PERÍODO 1964–2000

Author(s): Alejandro Alzate Buitrago,Gabriel Cruz Cerón / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

From the historical inventory of landslides and climatological records of theMatecaña Airport Meteorological Station and the Treatment Plant Station (Empresa Aguasy Aguas de Pereira), it was possible to establish the relationship between the behaviorof rainfall and the susceptibility of occurrence of Landslides in the urban and suburbanperimeters of the municipality of Pereira, during the period 1964–2000. The investigativeexercise was supported in the systematization, evaluation and georeferencing of 348landslides associated with the occurrence of rains in the study region, allowing to establishthe relationship between previous rains as detonating agent of landslides. Throughthe investigation, it was possible to determine for the municipality of Pereira cumulativerainfall thresholds of 158 mm, 294 mm, 418 mm and 530 mm respectively for the areaof infl uence of the Matecaña Airport station, for periods of 15, 30, 45 and 60 days. Inthe same way, and for the same intervals, values of 171 mm, 299 mm, 421 mm and 552mm were obtained for the area of infl uence of the Treatment Plant station. It was alsopossible to estimate that the highest number of landslides (177 events) was associatedwith cumulative rainfall thresholds for the 15-day interval (158 mm), according to theresults of the present investigation.

MICROALGAS COMO ALTERNATIVA PARA EL TRATAMIENTO DE AGUAS RESIDUALES Y LA GENERACIÓN DE BIOCOMBUSTIBLES

Author(s): Juan Carlos Hernández Criado,Gabriel Cruz Cerón,Jhon Fredy Betancur / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

Currently, renewable energies have become an important object by whichconventional energy sources, based on fossil fuels, by this type of energy sources thatreduce considerably and in some cases eliminate the impact on the environment. In thissense, the present review article deepened the potential of microalgae, as unicellularliving organisms that reproduce easily under specifi c conditions and produce a largeamount of biomass. Studies carried out in the last decades, sustaining that biomassbecomes an important source for the production of energy from the combustion of it.In addition, the article addresses the characteristics of microalgae for the treatment ofwastewater and how this wastewater becomes a benefi cial medium for the cultivationof these organisms for the purpose of producing biomass.

Glass bead trade in Northeast Africa. The evidence from Meroitic and post-Meroitic Nubia. PAM Monograph Series 10 - Chapter 1-8

Author(s): Joanna Then-Obłuska,Barbara Wagner / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Strings of colorful glass beads were a popular commodity traded throughout ancient Nubia in the earlier half of the first millennium AD. Combining macroscopic examination with laboratory analyses, the author breaks new ground in Nubian studies, establishing diagnostic markers for a study of trading markets and broader economic trends in Meroitic and post-Meroitic Nubia.Archaeometric results, lucidly presented and discussed, identify the origins of the glass from which the beads under investigation were made. The demonstrated South Indian/Sri Lankan provenance of some of the ready-made beads from Nubian burial contexts and a reconstruction of their distribution patterns in Northeast Africa is the first undisputed proof of contacts between Nubia and the Red Sea coast. Reaching beyond that, it shows Nubia’s involvement in the Asian maritime trade, whether directly or indirectly, during a period of intensive interchanges between the 4th and 6th centuries AD.
