Kodzoev, Magomed. "Russia — Honduras: what are we looking for in a far country?" Latinskaia Amerika, no. 10 (2022): 23. http://dx.doi.org/10.31857/s0044748x0022305-4.
Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the Russia’s current relations with one of the most disadvantaged countries in Latin America – Honduras. The author aims to answer the question: does Moscow need to develop it? It turned out that it was not so easy to find the answer; to do this, it was necessary to study the political and economic situation in the country itself, assess its relations with the United States, find out who we are dealing with in the person of S. Castro, who came to power in 2022, and study the history of the establishment and development of Russian-Honduran relations. Only after completing these tasks it was possible to formulate clear recommendations, outline a possible future and identify "weaknesses" in the Russian-Honduran dialogue. The answer to the main question is still positive. Moreover, Russian-Honduran relations have good prospects for both sides, in particular, for their foreign policy and diplomacy. The author used a variety of sources: from reports of the Carnegie Endowment, the National Statistical Agency of Honduras, official documents of government departments to publications of ECLAC, the largest Honduran and world media, newspapers, scientific journals and special publications devoted to Honduras, its foreign and domestic policy. The key methodology used is an institutionalist and behaviorist approach, comparative analysis, as well as partially content and event analysis. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that the author writes for the first time in the scientific literature about the possible unfair use of US financial assistance programs to foreign states in order to enrich individual bureaucratic elites both in Washington and in Tegucigalpa.

Full textAbstract:
The freshwater fishes of Honduras were surveyed for a period of four years (2005–2008). Surveys were supplemented with both literature and museum collection reviews. Our results show that there are at least 172 species of fishes inhabiting Honduran mainland and insular freshwater systems, 166 native and six exotic. Primary freshwater fish diversity was low, with only eigth species (4.8%). The remaining species were either secondary freshwater (47 species, 28.3%) or peripheral (111 species, 66.9%). This checklist includes 36 new records for Honduras, and 12 range expansions. Nine species were found to be endemic; however, just two of them (Amphilophus hogaboomorum and Theraps wesseli) are already described. The depauperate primary freshwater fishes fauna of Honduras (8) is congruent with low primary freshwater fishes diversity found in the region between the Usumacinta River and the Nicaraguan great lakes. Although many previously unsampled regions of Honduras were visited as part of this project, there are a variety of remote areas that remain unstudied. While this paper contributes much to the understanding of the distribution and diversity of Honduran freshwater fishes, it is likely that much diversity there remains undocumented.

Full textAbstract:
For over two decades no attempt has been made to update the checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes (hereafter only referred to as pteridophytes) of Honduras. In 1996 Nelson-Sutherland and co-workers published the first fully annotated checklist for the country, which included 651 named species (680 taxa including varieties and hybrids). However, phylogenetic relationships have changed substantially since then. There have also been many taxonomic revisions for several groups and a considerable number of new records have since been published. Our work aimed to provide a comprehensive updated and fully annotated checklist of Honduran ferns. We undertook a comprehensive literature review of new records for Honduras and verified each individual record for the country. We followed PPGI for our taxonomic species revisions. We excluded a total of 81 taxa from the original 1996 checklist due to synonymy or lack of evidence of the species occurrence in Honduras. A total of 114 new species records were added, including four previously unpublished records. Our new updated checklist includes 713 taxa (including 8 varieties and 7 hybrids) which represents a 19% increase to the number of pteridophytes known from Honduras. Our work provides updated information regarding the pteridophytes diversity of Honduras. These data provide a crucial first step towards the first Honduran pteridophytes flora.

Although review of medical literature suggests that skin disease is a common cause of morbidity in developing countries, there have been few prospective primary care studies to document the prevalence of dermatologic conditions. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of paediatric skin diseases in rural Honduras. The study was conducted in October 1992, during a medical mission sponsored by the University of Cincinnati, Children's Hospital Medical Center (Cincinnati) and the Honduran Ministry of Health.

Full textAbstract:
This paper contributes to the scarce literature on e-government transparency in Central America by analyzing the impact of political, financial and socio-economic factors on municipal financial e-transparency in Honduras. The sample covers 86 Honduran municipalities in 2016-17. The data show a weak impact of ideology and mayor's gender on e-transparency, with progressive governments and men achieving more e-transparency. Municipalities receiving more transfers are more transparent. Taking all financial variables together, the data are in line with the Theory of Fiscal Illusion and the Theory of Agency, since municipalities are not reporting greater levels of taxes, deficit, and debt to their taxpayers. Honduran municipalities are only concerned about meeting central government legal requirements about transfers received. The fact that municipalities do not increase e-transparency to be held accountable by their citizens is against the assumptions of the Theory of Legitimacy. Finally, larger municipalities and with greater income are more fiscally transparent.

Full textAbstract:
A significant study of the amblypygid fauna of Honduras is lacking. Historically, species were misidentified and data on distribution, natural history and conservation status of the known species are lacking or insufficient. In this contribution, an overview on the amblypygids of Honduras, including taxonomy, distribution, natural history and comments on their conservation are provided. In a review of the literature of the Honduran amblypygids, we examined 21 works, including books, unpublished thesis, articles, the World Amblypygi Catalogue (2023), as well as the website Arácnidos de Centroamérica and the citizen-science websites Alamy, iNaturalist and Flicks. Only the family Phrynidae, with the genera Paraphrynus Moreno, 1940 and Phrynus Lamarck, 1801, is known to occur in Honduras. A total of seven species have been recorded, but only four [Paraphrynus laevifrons (Pocock, 1894), Phrynus palenque Armas, 1996, Ph. similis Armas, Víquez & Trujillo, 2017 and Ph. whitei Gervais, 1842] have been positively identified. No endemic species are known, but available data suggest that some undescribed new species may be restricted to Honduras. In order to understand the amblypygids of Honduras, sampling within the country must be conducted and revisionary studies will be needed. This paper examines our current knowledge of the fauna.

King, Amber Loren Ong. "A cross-sectional analysis of patient-reported awareness, management, and understandings of diabetes and hypertension among cataract patients in rural southern Honduran communities." International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health 4, no. 5 (April 24, 2017): 1392. http://dx.doi.org/10.18203/2394-6040.ijcmph20171548.
Full textAbstract:
Background: In Honduras, the prevalence of cataracts, the leading cause of blindness, is rapidly mounting as associated chronic conditions, diabetes and hypertension, are on the rise. The increased demand for cataract surgeries has had the most severe impact on rural communities, as the majority of ophthalmologists serve cities. Additionally, owing to rural healthcare barriers, many rural dwellers have uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes, and consequently, are denied surgical candidacy due to increased surgical risk. Thus, this investigation aims to curb chronic illness in rural Honduran cataract patients by evaluating patient-reported prevalence, management, and local understandings of diabetes and hypertension in the context of socioeconomic data. Methods: The responses of cataract patients to a poverty scorecard and survey questionnaire were categorized and evaluated according to guidelines in the surrounding literature. Height, weight, blood pressure and glucose levels were also measured for each participant. Results: 22.0% and 53.7% of all study participants (n=82) were hyperglycemic and hypertensive respectively. Of the hyperglycemic patients, 38.9% had never been diagnosed with diabetes, while the remaining 61.1% appeared to have mismanaged blood glucose levels. 50% of the hypertensive patients had never been diagnosed with hypertension, and the other 50% appeared to have mismanaged blood pressure. More than half of all participants exhibited only a minimal understanding of diabetes and hypertension. Conclusions: Rural Honduran communities would benefit from regular health screenings and follow-up visits from local doctors. It is important for community health workshops to focus on informing individual health management practices and chronic illness prevention strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Occasionally it is of interest to calibrate a given growth or yield model to data from several regions. If it is expected that the parameters from different regions can somehow be regarded as similar, then a Bayesian approach suggests itself. A cursory examination of the literature reveals that most of the theoretical work on empirical Bayes estimation for the linear model has focused on simultaneously estimating the coefficients in one model. In these methods the usual least squares estimates of the model parameters are shrunk toward their mean. One set of parameter estimates results. In contrast we desire a method whereby multiple sets of parameter estimates are produced. We report the results of using such a method to calibrate yield models for unthinned Honduran pine plantations to data from 21 soil-site groups. The models compare favorably to those developed via traditional methods and allow estimation of regression coefficients even for soil-site groups for which the design matrix is not of full rank. For.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This work offers an in-depth description of the main morphosyntactic (and lexical) features found in present Honduran Spanish, a lesser-known Central American variety. Text corpora and sociolinguistic surveys help us to provide an updated grammatical overview, which takes into account most categories: nouns and adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions and locutions, and illustrates with examples taken both from formal and informal settings. By comparing these features with previous grammatical descriptions, this study helps in identifying some common American features ―such as the use of con todo y and the pluralization of impersonal haber― as well as some specific patterns ―such as the prominence of -ada and -eco suffixes, algotro pronoun and expletive lo― in present-day Honduran Spanish, some of which remain to be incorporated in the Academy grammar.

Full textAbstract:
Central American writers have perceptively engaged with the concept of world literature from their minor positionality. For instance, as implied in the mocking undertone of its title, Roberto Quesada’s Big Banana (2000) deals with being at the edge of the periphery, following a Honduran migrant in the Latin American community in New York. Quesada explores how the protagonist channels his “deseo de mundo”, to use Mariano Siskind’s words, into a strategy of performing distinction to carve out a place for himself in a cosmopolitan society. Compounding “banana republic”—an expression coined by O. Henry, inspired by Honduras—with “The Big Apple”, Big Banana’s title underscores the book’s play with cultural registers and national and worldly identities. The growing scholarship on Central American and U.S. Central American literature has analyzed the novel through the lens of coloniality, the limits of solidarity, the experience of the Central American diaspora, and as “denuncia social”. My article instead traces how cultural productions acquire different valences each time they cross the center–periphery border in the performance of distinction that Big Banana and its protagonist carry out in response to their doubly peripheral position. In other words, this essay is concerned with the novel’s problematic instrumentalization of Western hegemonic culture—both highbrow and commercial popular culture—to make claims of worldliness and carve a space for itself in world literary circuits.

Full textAbstract:
The Central America of books, and indeed of our imaginations, does not have very many black actors. That is not because blacks have not been present in the unfolding of Central American history. It is because their participation has been selectively ignored. During the last decade there have been a few welcome exceptions to this trend; however, a lacuna still remains. This article focuses on the role played by the first generation of black British West Indian immigrants in the development of the Costa Rican and Honduran labour movements - an area of history in which blacks have been particularly ignored.To this day the populations of black British West Indian descent living on the Atlantic Coast of Costa Rica and Honduras have remained outside the mainstream of political and cultural life in these two countries. It is not surprising, therefore, that they have also been neglected historically.Nowhere is this tendency more glaring than in the literature on labour history – especially that concerned with the important banana exporting sector. With few exceptions, the role of the British West Indian workers in the early period of the banana industry is dismissed. Those that acknowledge their role minimise the workers' importance by arguing that they failed to act collectively in challenging their employers. In brief, this view argues that black West Indian workers are not important to a study of labour politics in Honduras and Costa Rica.Historical evidence renders this suggestion invalid. The British West Indian workers who came to Honduras and Costa Rica during the last century in search of employment were neither indifferent to, nor totally accepting of, their situation.

RESUMENEl oso hormiguero gigante también conocido en Centro América como oso caballo (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), es una de las especies carismáticas del mundo. Se ha documentado en la literatura que los límites de la distribución más septentrional para esta especie son Belice y Guatemala. El mapa de su distribución para Centro América da inicio en toda la franja Caribe de Panamá e incluye todo el territorio de Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador y una mínima porción de la costa del Caribe de Guatemala y Belice. Sin embargo, M. tridactyla no se registra en los últimos 100 años para Guatemala, Belice y El Salvador. En Honduras se realizaron diferentes monitoreos en la región Caribe y Moskitia registrándose fotocapturas del oso caballo únicamente en la Reserva de la Biosfera del Río Plátano y la Reserva propuesta de Rus Rus. Este análisis propone como límite septentrional de la distribución del M. tridactyla la región de la Moskitia hondureña, basados en la ausencia de esta especie en los listados actuales oficiales de los países de Guatemala, El Salvador y Belice, en la revisión bibliográfica para Centro América y en los monitoreos que se realizaron en la región Caribe y Moskitia hondureña. Palabras clave: Centro América, oso caballo, septentrional, Caribe, Moskitia.ABSTRACTThe giant anteater also known in Central America as oso caballo (Myrmecophaga. tridactyla), is one of the world’s charismatic species. It has been mentioned for different sources that giant anteater most northern limit distributions are Belize and Guatemala. The distribution map for Central America begins and extends throughout the Caribbean of Panama and includes the entire territory of Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and a minimal portion of the Caribbean coast of Guatemala and Belize. However M. tridactyla is not recorded in the last 100 years in Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador. In Honduras several biological monitoring were performed in the Caribbean and the Moskitia region recorded evidence for the specie only for the Biosphere Reserve of Río Plátano and the biological Reserve of Rus Rus in the Moskitia region. This analysis propose as most northerly for M. tridactyla the Honduran Moskitia region, based in the absence on the most recent check list for Guatemala, El Salvador, and Belize, also literature review for Central America and the biological monitoring performed in the Caribbean and Moskitia region. Keywords: Central America, giant anteater, Northern, Caribbean, Moskitia.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout Latin America, increasing women’s leadership has been part of many development efforts. However, extensive research on this topic, especially with rural indigenous women, is limited in the literature. Barriers and opportunities for women to participate in leadership within their communities and local organizations may be related to economic, psychological, and social factors that influence their personal empowerment. This study used mixed methods to explore multiple perspectives of community participation and leadership of two Lenca villages in the western department of Lempira, Honduras. The findings from this study provide insight into structural constraints on women’s leadership in the community, and how gender affects engagement in agriculture. The importance of this research is its applicability to agricultural extension practitioners working in rural communities where participation in traditional gender roles may create gaps in women’s opportunities to engage in decision-making around agriculture, participate in community development, and be valued as leaders. For communities whose livelihoods rely on agriculture, understanding barriers to women’s participation can aid extension practitioners working to increase food security, as women play key roles in both agriculture and in supporting their families. Keywords: gender, women, agriculture, leadership, participation

Full textAbstract:
Background and context: Persistent infection with high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) is identified as the main cause of premalignant and malignant cervical diseases. The identification of HR-HPV by viral DNA has been used in multiple studies to characterize the infection, the careHPV test presented HR-HPV prevalence in Latin American countries of: Costa Rica (16%), Mexico (14.5%), Colombia (14.9%), and Chile (14.0%). Cervical cancer represents a public health problem in Latin America, and in Honduras is the main cause of cancer in women. Half of Honduran women at risk are not systematically screened for cervical cancer. Aim: Identifying women at risk for premalignant lesions with rapid and efficient tests can guarantee timely treatment. Strategy/Tactics: Retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study at Copán health units (La Entrada, Florida, Trinidad and San Juan Planes), where the results of the careHPV test were analyzed to determine HR-HPV genotypes, in 540 women between 30 and 65 year from September 2016 to March 2017. Program/Policy process: Positive patients received VIAA, and colposcopy/biopsy according to national cervical cancer screening guideline 2015. Outcomes: 458 negative women for HR-HPV 85% and 82 positive women 15%. The age group with the highest prevalence of HR-HPV was 30-49 years. Of 69 positive women, 64 received visual inspection with acetic acid (93%), 47 resulted with negative VIAA (73%), 2 with positive VIAA suspected invasive cancer, both were referred to colposcopy/biopsy, and 15 women with positive VIAA (24%) referred to cryotherapy. What was learned: The prevalence of infection by HR-HPV in the study group was 15%, similar to that reported in the literature. Standardizing the use of careHPV as a screening test can guarantee the prevention of invasive stages of cervical cancer.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The scholarly literature that examines the economic assimilation of migrant families has focussed on the educational and economic achievements of the children of international migrants relative to the children of native born parents. Lower relative incomes of the children of immigrants might be attributable to discrimination, while higher relative incomes could be attributable to ambitious parents who produce more ambitious children. These potential effects have been difficult to disentangle. The purpose of this paper is to control for discrimination by examining internal migration in Honduras, allowing us to isolate evidence for or against the “ambition” effect. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique to ask if the children of migrants are similar or different than their parents in their attitudes toward work and economic advancement. Findings – This study finds that migrants are relatively hard workers in the sense that they experience relatively high marginal effects on earnings from improved socio-economic characteristics, such as years of schooling. The study also finds that these migrants do not pass on this hard-work ethic to their children, who experience much smaller marginal effects from increased years of schooling and other socio-economic characteristics. Originality/value – This study demonstrates that the children of migrants do not necessarily inherit the ambitious work ethic characteristic of their migrant parents. This result has important implications for studies that examine the assimilation and economic progress of migrant families, particularly those studies that use second-generation earnings as a measure of assimilation and economic progress.

Full textAbstract:
El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras rank among the top 10 countries experiencing violence in the world, despite not being at war. Although there is abundant literature on generalized violence in this “northern triangle” of Central America as a driver of out-migration to the United States, very little is known about the perspectives and experiences of youth who do not migrate. This study aimed to elicit the emic perspectives of youth residing in the region on how the day-to-day generalized violence produces a pervasive threat to the overall health and human security of youth as well as the key protective factors and resiliencies at work. We conducted two separate waves of qualitative research in 2015 and 2018 over a 6-month period, which included 60 in-depth interviews and six focus groups among Salvadoran, Guatemalan and Honduran youth living in urban areas. Qualitative thematic analysis revealed two meta-themes: (1) ‘Lack of health,’ defined as not experiencing peace within the family, the community, and the country’ and (2) ‘Resilience.’ Thematic clusters that reflect the first meta-theme are: (1) violence as a common occurrence; (2) living in fear and insecurity; (3) victimization; and (4) lack of state protection and services. Thematic clusters for the second meta-theme are: (1) a positive future outlook and a commitment to education; (2) transnational and local family network support; and (3) engagement in community-based youth groups. To interpret the findings, we adopt the Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health (LASM-CH) approach that prioritizes perspectives from the region. Generalized violence is conceptualized as a systemic phenomenon that is generated and reproduced through the complex interactions of structural inequities and unequal power relations. The findings of this study provide new insights into the implementation of a different approach to address the generalized violence, insights that may guide multi-sectoral health policies and interventions both in the region and transnationally.

Full textAbstract:
The deterioration of drinking water quality following its collection from a community well or standpipe and during storage in the home has been well documented. However, there is a view that post-supply contamination is of little public health consequence. This paper explores the potential health risk from consuming re-contaminated drinking water. A conceptual framework of principal factors that determine the pathogen load in household drinking water is proposed. Using this framework a series of hypotheses are developed in relation to the risk of disease transmission from re-contaminated drinking water and examined in the light of current literature and detailed field observation in rural Honduran communities. It is shown that considerable evidence of disease transmission from re-contaminated drinking water exists. In particular the type of storage container and hand contact with stored drinking water has been associated with increased incidence of diarrhoeal disease. There is also circumstantial evidence linking such factors as the sanitary conditions in the domestic environment, cultural norms and poverty with the pathogen load of household stored drinking water and hence the risk of disease transmission. In conclusion it is found that re-contaminated drinking water represents a significant health risk especially to infants, and also to those with secondary immunodeficiency.

Full textAbstract:
Brian K. Vaughan’s and Marcos Martin’s science fiction comics series, Barrier (2015‐18), is a five-issue story set on the US-Mexican border and contributing to the continuing public discourse surrounding undocumented immigration in the United States. First appearing as a webcomic on Vaughan’s Panel Syndicate website and later published in comic book form by Image Comics, Barrier’s story of two characters, a Honduran refugee and a Texas rancher who struggle with and eventually come to rely on one another, depicts linguistic and cultural boundaries and borders, as well as the frustration and hostility they can generate. As comics, Barrier’s very medium works by means of crossing boundaries and borders: binaries (like word and image) are complicated if not subverted, and the borders of each panel remain closed yet open for sequential art to function as a medium for narrative. Moreover, as a bilingual webcomic crossing into print yet all but encouraging an ongoing virtual engagement through web searches and Google Translate, the series demands further creative energy from the reader in reimaging various barriers, borders and positions of liminality. Although stories that represent various kinds of borders (social, cultural and geopolitical) and various ways of establishing, challenging, crossing or deconstructing borders are frequently found in graphic narratives, Barrier demonstrates the south-west border to be one the medium of comics is especially suited to explore. Barrier is a work that takes as its very subject, to borrow a phrase from Ramzi Fawaz, ‘spatially drawn analogies’ in order to engage graphically matters of genuine political import. In doing so, Barrier not only reflects obliquely on its own form, but also engages creatively with one of the most politically and culturally contested spaces in contemporary US culture.

Full textAbstract:
Central Americans living in Mexico remain a small group (100 thousand) relative to the size of the Mexican population. However, they experienced accelerated growth between 2000 and 2020, with Guatemalans as the largest group and Hondurans as the most dynamic one. The previous literature has found a positive and significant, albeit decreasing, income advantage of Central American workers in Mexico. Meanwhile, the percentage of migrant women reported as spouses has gone down and the female labor force has increased. The paper uses information from the 2000, 2010, and 2020 Mexican censuses as well as the 2015 Intercensal Survey to compare access to the labor market for men and women from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras residing in Mexico. We compare marital status, female labor force participation, main economic sectors, human capital, and income levels of the men and women of each of the three nationalities considered, seeking to identify from a gender perspective the differentiated labor performance of each nationality.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal condition resulting from a mutation in 1 of at least 7 different genes leading to the triad of tyrosine-positive oculocutaneous albinism, platelet dysfunction leading to prolonged bleeding time, and ceroid lipofuscin within the reticuloendothelial system. The latter of these can result in systemic derangements including renal failure, pulmonary fibrosis, cardiomyopathy, and a disabling granulomatous colitis. This colitis is a unique type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with complications such as intestinal fistulization, ileitis, enterocolitis and perianal disease. There is data to suggest that HPS colitis is due to the development of classical IBD. However, optimal management remains undetermined. Our systematic review aims to analyze the clinical presentation behind HPS colitis, endoscopic versus histopathological findings, and ultimate treatment plans required for optimal management of this disease among HPS genotypes. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on patients with HPS and its associated colitis manifestations from inception to August 2023. Analyses on patient demographics, clinical presentation, HPS genotype, endoscopic versus histopathological findings, medical versus surgical interventions were thoroughly performed. Six cohort studies on HPS patients with coexisting colitis were identified. A total of 84 patients comprised these studies with mean age 32 +/- 9.65. Racial breakdowns were 68% Puerto Rican, 23% white, 4% Indian, 2% Mexican, 1% Honduran, and 1% African American. 59 patients had the HPS-1 genotype, 8 with HPS-3, 3 with HPS-4, and 1 with HPS-6. The most common presenting symptoms were hematochezia (37%), diarrhea (23%), abdominal pain (16%), and constipation (10%). Endoscopic evaluation showed normal gross findings in 65% of cases and abnormalities in only 35%. However, IBD-associated histopathological positivity was more prevalent with the most common findings being granulomas (33%), macrophages without colitis (19%), macrophages with colitis (15%), and lymphoid aggregates (10%). Medical therapy was initiated in 48 cases with the most common medications being steroids (46%), followed by anti-TNFa agents (40%), and immunomodulators (35%). 28 cases required surgical intervention with the most common operation performed being a (subtotal) colectomy and ileostomy. There were scattered cases of laparoscopic loop ileostomies, total colectomies, and proctocolectomies too. Interestingly, 10 patients received no intervention whatsoever. HPS-associated colitis is a debilitating condition that remarkably resembles IBD. There is no consensus on optimal therapy and many patients ultimately require operative intervention. The HPS-1 gene appears to be highly prevalent in this condition and younger patients are more affected, however more research is needed.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The electronic medical portfolio is part of the formative evaluation that allows the educator to adapt their didactic process to the needs of their students. It also promotes effective formative feedback that helps create horizontal relationships between educators and students. The aim of this review was to describe the use of medical portfolios and their impact on medical training. Methods. A review of the literature in PubMed and Scielo was carried out, including articles and studies on the topic, published in English and Spanish, ranging from 2012 to 2022. Discussion. Medical Education in Latin America, especially in Honduras, relies heavily on summative assessment as a prevalent evaluation method. In countries like the United States and some in Europe where the student portfolio is used, it has thrived and been accepted by both educators and students, generating a positive impact on their learning. Conclusion. The implementation of the medical portfolio in Honduras is a viable and an appropriate process that will allow the pre-existing traditional academic culture to be innovated. Its multiple advantages such as encouraging a complete evaluation through feedback from superiors and peers, in addition to ongoing training and improvement of the student's practical skills, place it as an essential tool for medical education.

Full textAbstract:
While there is a growing literature on the phenomenon of land seizure by agribusiness and extractive industries, and their disastrous social and ecological effects around the world, there is often a shroud of vagueness and mystification about the concrete practices by which extractive companies come to gain access to the land itself. This is especially true since these companies increasingly veil their activities in plausible claims of “social responsibility.” This article documents the strategies by which foreign and especially Canadian capital has been grabbing and maintaining its control over land for mega-developments in Honduras, with an eye to the ways in which different tactics are adapted to each particular context in which they are applied. The purpose is to demonstrate the flexibility and complexity of these strategies and to lay the groundwork for future studies of these concrete practices in order to supplement the existing literature on land seizure.

Introducción. Los libros de viajes decimonónicos publicados en inglés, francés y alemán son el resultado de las experiencias vividas por aquellas personas que por motivos variados se lanzaron a la exploración de lugares desconocidos o poco conocidos. Estos libros retratan la época en la cual fueron escritos y publicados, mostrando al mismo tiempo la diversidad del mundo y un caleidoscopio de las culturas. Presentación de caso. Se realizó una traducción libre del capítulo del libro Les tremblements de terre publicado en francés en 1885, el cual describe los acontecimientos del terremoto acaecido en la zona costera caribeña de la República de Honduras en el año de 1856 y cuya vivencia fue publicada en una sola entrega en la revista estadounidense Harpers New Monthly Magazine, con el título de Apuntes del cuaderno de un artista. Discusión. En la traducción se trató de cuidar desde la originalidad la doble articulación escritural: la íntima desde la óptica de la descripción y la segunda que parte desde la perspectiva del contacto cultural que tiene el autor-narrador al visitar la región atlántica y de paso vivir el gran acontecimiento telúrico. Conclusión. Resulta evidente desde el punto de vista literario, que en esta traducción existe un entramado recurrente donde sitúa al autor-narrador en una constante de espacio y tiempo, en el cual se va articulando una fascinación por lo descubierto en lejanas tierras del trópico, además, de la descripción detallada de la experiencia que logró atestiguar de primera mano el artista viajero.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a four-year effort to alleviate poverty in rural villages of Honduras by creating financially self-sustaining electricity businesses at the village level. What began as a humanitarian engineering project undertaken by students and faculty at Baylor University, subsequently evolved into a larger effort of social entrepreneurship that included the incorporation of companies in the United States and Honduras. A novel micro-franchise business model was created that used small hydropower systems to generate electricity in local villages, and local villagers having vested financial interests to maintain, distribute, and protect these systems. Two of the authors relocated to Honduras to install village-level franchises, but numerous problems plagued the project. A few months after we launched the businesses, however, a fatal flaw was identified in the business model regarding the pace at which new systems could be deployed. Disclosure of this flaw resulted in the loss of funding. This paper will attempt to share the successes and failures of this project. Focus will be given to the most innovative aspects of our project which were largely entrepreneurial in nature. Technical details, when they are novel, will be shared, but hydro electric basics will be omitted where there is existing literature.

Nuevas actividades de desarrollo económico y nuevas necesidades de conocimiento, junto con una nueva generación de biólogos de campo, están impulsando la investigación de los murciélagos del país. Debido a esto, se elaboraró una clave de campo para la identificación de los murciélagos de Honduras. El documento contiene: una clave para la separación e identificación de las ocho familias de murciélagos de Honduras, una clave para la separación e identificación de las ocho subfamilias de Phyllostomidae, siete claves individuales para separar las especies dentro de las familias y ocho claves individuales para separar las especies dentro de las subfamilias de Phyllostomidae. En total se han incluido 114 especies de murciélagos, 110 registradas para Honduras más cuatro adicionales esperadas (sin registro oficial) para el país. La clave se ha basado en el conocimiento y documentos generales generados para la identificación de los murciélagos de otros países de la región.

In my very first semester as an applied anthropology graduate student at the University of Maryland, I was asked to define my ‘domain’ within anthropology. Choosing my domain was a difficult, but rewarding, process. First I had to gather my various life experiences and interests and mold them into a cohesive theme. I was able to accomplish this by combining my intense intellectual curiosity for human gender relations, previous course work in development anthropology, and unwavering dedication to environmentalism. Then I had the challenging task of researching ways in which others had addressed similar issues by conducting a thorough literature search on each aspect of my domain and the combinations thereof. Backed by a distinct body of literature, this domain—gender, environment, and development—thus became the backbone of my ensuing course work and internship. When I finally had a finished product, I realized how establishing and writing my domain forced me to take a critical look at these issues in order to find personal connections and meanings. Since then, I have further clarified and expanded my domain to develop a toolbox of skills and knowledge that I will use in my career as a practicing anthropologist.

Full textAbstract:
A growing body of literature has argued that the distinction between forced and voluntary migration can be, in practice, unclear. This literature points out that each individual migrant may have mixed motives for migrating, including both forced and voluntary reasons. Few studies, however, have actually set out to analyze mixed-motive migration. This paper examines the mixed-motive migration of unaccompanied minors from Central America's Northern Triangle states (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador), using data from a small 2016 survey carried out in 10 shelters for unaccompanied child migrants run by a Mexican government child welfare agency. Using this survey, the paper identifies the immigrating minor's motives, which are oftentimes mixed, and details differences by nationality, gender, and age groups. Some of the key findings include: • Around one-third of the child migrants surveyed had mixed motives, including both forced and voluntary reasons for migrating. • Violence appears most often as a reason for migrating among minors with mixed motives, as opposed to the search for better opportunities, which appears more often as an exclusive motive. • Significant differences between the three nationalities are observed. Relatively few Guatemalan minors indicated violence as a motive, and few displayed mixed motives, as opposed to Hondurans, and especially Salvadorans. • The minors fleeing violence, searching for better opportunities, and indicating both motives at the same time were largely mature male adolescents. • The minors mentioning family reunification as their sole motive were predominantly girls and young children. The results indicate that binary formulations regarding forced and voluntary migration are often inadequate. This has important implications, briefly addressed in the conclusions. These implications include: • the need for migration scholars to consider forced reasons for migrating in the context of mixed-motive migration; • the fact that mixed motives call into question the established, clear-cut categories that determine whether someone is worthy of humanitarian protection or not; • the need to have in-depth, attentive, and individual asylum screening because motives may be interconnected and entangled, and because forced reasons may be hidden behind voluntary motives; and • the need for a more flexible policy approach, so that immigration systems may be more inclusive of migrants with mixed motives.

Para comprobarlo, se evaluó una propuesta curricular diseñada en dichos términos, en centros educativos de la región Norte de Honduras, donde coexisten tres culturas: mestiza, garífuna y miskita. La investigación fue de tipo cualitativa con un diseño de tipo fenomenológico, abierto y emergente. Como resultado principal, se logró una amplia aceptación de esta propuesta por parte de la comunidad educativa, implicando con ello una nueva valoración de la literatura de tradicional oral y de la metodología para enseñar interculturalidad.

Full textAbstract:
Within the last 15 years 34 waste stabilization pond systems have been built in Central America in the countries of El Salvador (6 systems), Honduras (12 systems), Guatemala (9 systems), and Nicaragua (8 systems); these systems were built for municipalities with populations ranging from 5,000 to 80,000 persons. There are 14 additional systems in the final design phase or under construction in the region, including the first designs for large cities: a 162 hectare facultative system for Managua, Nicaragua (population (1,000,000); and a 168 hectare system for San Pedro Sula, Honduras (population (640,000). Monitoring data from Honduras and Nicaragua show that treatment efficiency is generally comparable to tropical pond systems cited in the literature in other parts of the world, although fecal coliform removal has not been as good as theoretically predicted and the desludging of facultative ponds has been a significant operational cost. While waste stabilization ponds are generally considered the technology of choice for municipal wastewater treatment within Central America, there are, nevertheless, problem areas that need to be addressed if waste stabilization pond use is to have continued acceptance and long-term sustainability. These areas of concern at the regional level are: i) design guidelines using parameters from data developed in Central America; ii) effluent guidelines that are realistic for pond effluents for reuse or surface water discharge; iii) monitoring programs focusing specifically on pathogen removal; iv) cost-effective grit removal and sludge removal from facultative ponds; v) improving designs for pathogen removal; vi) the need for centralized (El Salvador and Nicaragua) versus decentralized (Guatemala and Honduras) mechanisms for financing and operation and maintenance; vii) the development of comparative cost data for construction, operation and maintenance, pond desludging, and microbiological monitoring; and viii) the development of training programs for design, operationand maintenance, and monitoring.

Los medios de sustento de la sociedad en general y los ecosistemas naturales están siendo afectados negativamente por el cambio climático. Ante esto, surgen alternativas como la bioeconomía que busca disminuir el impacto ambiental y el cambio climático a través de sus principales senderos. De esta forma, el propósito de este estudio fue indagar el potencial de desarrollo de la bioeconomía en Honduras, considerando el aporte del sector agrícola al Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) del país. El estudio se desarrolló durante el año 2021 y el enfoque utilizado fue la investigación bibliográfica, a través de la revisión sistemática de literatura. Los resultados muestran que durante el período del 2015 al 2020, la contribución del sector agrícola en Honduras se mantuvo en 14%, ocupando el tercer lugar después del sector de industria manufacturera y la intermediación financiera. Ahora bien, en relación a la bioeconomía fue posible establecer contribuciones puntuales en los siguientes senderos: a) Valoración de la diversidad biológica, b) Eco intensificación, c) Aplicaciones de biotecnología, d) Servicios eco sistémicos, e) Competitividad de las cadenas de valor, y f) Biorefinería y bioproductos. Como conclusión se tiene que el tema de bioeconomía en Honduras se inclina hacia la biotecnología y la biorefinería. Aunque ambos senderos involucran tecnologías poco accesibles a pequeños productores agropecuarios. Por lo tanto, es primordial el desarrollo participativo de políticas y estrategias de bioeconomía para el área de productos y servicios, lo que mejoraría la competitividad y desarrollo sostenible del país.

Este trabajo aborda cómo el motivo argumental del terremoto de Kobe se recoge en los seis cuentos del libro Después del terremoto, que Murakami escribió tras el impacto que este suceso causó en la sociedad japonesa y en él mismo. Se trata de comprobar la forma en que el suceso real aparece en estos cuentos que se encuadran en la narrativa de Murakami más vinculada a la realidad concreta, en la que elabora un retrato crítico de una época, un acontecimiento, un movimiento social. En cada relato se estudiará la presencia del componente realista, que refleja un cuadro dantesco, y cómo influye en las conductas de los personajes. Al mismo tiempo, ha de reconocerse la aparición del componente fantástico, que, si bien es antitético del anterior, es notoriamente significativo en los relatos murakamianos. El estudio permitirá observar que la causa del seísmo se atribuye –mediante el factor fantástico– a la acción de un mal encerrado en las honduras terrestres, pero sus efectos se tratan desde el plano de lo real.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the process of militarisation in Honduras in the 1954–1963 period, also the public reaction to it and its political consequences. The extant literature ignores the significant public opposition to an institutionalised military. As an autonomous military institution was first taking shape in the 1954–57 period, the militarisation issue was one of the dominant themes in the national press, and a sophisticated public debate took place between school teachers and military officials over whether the country needed a military at all, or whether the country should follow the Costa Rican example of military proscription. The 1957–59 period witnessed pressures from politicians, students, and labour to curtail military power and excesses. Finally, the platform of the favourite candidate in the 1963 presidential elections called for demilitarisation and again the Costa Rican model was a high-profile alternative. Demilitarisation played well with the masses, and this contributed to the preemptive military coup just days before the elections. Militarisation affected power relations and undermined democratic consolidation.

En este artículo se tratará de justificar por qué la obra de Borges tiene un profundo valor filosófico. Para defender esta tesis se desarrollarán cuatro argumentos íntimamente conectados entre sí. En el primer inciso se ejemplificará cómo un poema y un cuento pueden interpretarse como textos argumentativos que despliegan tesis metafísicas y gnoseológicas. Luego, a partir de un contra-ejemplo de la cultura del fútbol, se tratará de mostrar que los enunciados de Borges se caracterizan por su “densidad conceptual”. En el tercer inciso se recurre a la lingüística relacional (y en menor medida a la lingüística de corpus) para explicar cómo funciona una característica saliente del estilo de Borges: el adjetivo descolocado. Este análisis de base lingüística da pie a que también se explique con mayor hondura y precisión de qué se trata la densidad conceptual presentada en el apartado anterior. A continuación, en el cuarto apartado, se muestra cómo dos relatos policiales funcionan en un nivel que trasciende la complejidad narrativa, uno como una tesis cosmológica y el otro como una tesis política. Por último, se presentan conclusiones sobre los límites elusivos o difusos de la literatura y la filosofía.

Full textAbstract:
The Neotropical family Potamocoridae includes nine species in the genera Coleopterocoris Hungerford, 1942 and Potamocoris Hungerford, 1941. The biology of the family is barely known and most of the species mentioned in the literature have been collected with light-traps. Coleopterocoris has been reported only from Brazil and is represented by five described species, whereas Potamocoris has a more extensive known distribution, with one species recorded from Honduras and Mexico, and three from Suriname, Peru, and Paraguay (Hungerford 1941; La Rivers 1950; La Rivers 1969; Polhemus & Polhemus 1983; Van Doesburg 1984; Longo et al. 2005)

En este artículo se argumenta cómo la teoría y metodología de la educación literaria y del libro-álbum brindan una plataforma pedagógica ideal para diseñar propuestas curriculares basadas en la identificación y uso didáctico de elementos intertextuales en la literatura de tradición oral de las culturas en contacto, que sirvan de apoyo a programas de educación intercultural bilingüe. Como ejemplo, se describe de forma muy resumida un modelo creado para el contexto de Honduras, que incluye un análisis sobre las relaciones intertextuales que están presentes en las narraciones de los pueblos indígenas y afrohondureños.
