Social Welfare and Vulnerability of Rural Households in Different Agro-Economic Environments of Puebla, Mexico

Social Welfare and Vulnerability of Rural Households in Different Agro-Economic Environments of Puebla, Mexico by Gurusamy Venkatesh in Biodiversity online Journal

The importance of the study of social welfare of rural households at the municipal level lies in that the results can be used to propose specific intervention strategies, addressing productive, socioeconomic and environmental characteristics. The poverty alleviation has become an important component of public policy in decades. The inequality and poverty are major concern over many developing countries, including Mexico, the strategies to contribute to find the solution is evident. This study had the objective of calculating and analyzing indicators or socioeconomic welfare, poverty and income inequality, and their relationship with socio demographic and productive characteristics of rural households. The data were obtained using a structured questionnaire applied to a sample of 141 households and through in-depth interviews with key informants. Simple random statistical sampling was used. The size of the sample was determined with a reliability of 95% and an accuracy of 5%. The study was performed in three municipalities of the state of Puebla: San Salvador el Verde, Tlapanalá and Coatzingo. The results indicate that there are significant differences in the income and consumption of the households, explained by the diversification of income, access to productive assets, and quality of seasonal rains. The inequality, estimated by the Gini index, is high: 0.502, 0.439 and 0.416 para San Salvador el Verde, Tlapanalá and Coatzingo, respectively. The explicative factors of inequality are the value of the inheritance assets, the human capital index, and the value of transferences at the municipal level. The poverty index for the three municipalities is higher than the one reported by CONEVAL in 2014.

 Threats to Biodiversity in Australia’s Burdekin River Basin by Eric Wolanski* in  Biodiversity Online Journal The Murray-Darling basin in Australia (Figure 1) is a prime example of a whole river basin suffering from environmental degradation from historical, haphazard developments without integrated planning [1]. A similar scenario is developing for the Burdekin River basin in North Queensland. https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/fulltext/BOJ.000513.php Biodiversity Online Journal:  Crimson Publishers For more open access journals in  Crimson Publishers Please click on link:   https://crimsonpublishers.com For More Articles on  Biodiversity Online Journal Please click on:  https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/

Challenging Factors Influencing Biodiversity by Biswas R* in Biodiversity Online Journal Biodiversity , the diverse kinds of living things evolving over the ages and adapting themselves in a particular habitat, plays an inevitable role in equilibrium and sustenance of a natural ecosystem. It also helps build resilience and stabilization of different species of ecosystem. In general, it tries to remain in a balanced state until and unless some perturbations creep in. Whether it is human caused or not, it entirely has severe effect, creating imbalance in the whole process. https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/fulltext/BOJ.000502.php Biodiversity Online Journal: Crimson Publishers For more open access journals in Crimson Publishers Please click on link: https://crimsonpublishers.com For More Articles on Biodiversity Online Journal Please click on: https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/

Biodiversity and Biogeography of Three Pseudomonas syringae  athovars which Affect Kiwi Fruit Cultivation by Morán FE* in Biodiversity Online Journal Kiwi fruit is an economically important crop in several countries and it can be affected by several bacterial pathogens . Three pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae have been reported affecting kiwi fruit plants :  seudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae causal agent of bacterial canker of kiwi fruit; P. syringae pv. actinidifoliorum, causal agent of leaf spot of kiwi fruit, and P. syringae, pv. syringae causal agent of floral buds necrosis. Since there is a high phenotypic and genetic diversity among strains inside these pathovars here are briefly described the main differences found in the kiwi fruit strains of these three pathovars to help in developing preventive and curative control strategies to efficiently manage the bacterial diseases that affect kiwi fruit. https://crimsonpublishers.com/boj/fulltext/BOJ.000503.php ...
