Danyliuk, Ivan. "THE «FOOTBALL WAR»: THE SALVADOR-HONDURAS CONFLICT OF 1969." Scientific Herald of Uzhhorod University. Series: History, no. 1 (48) (June 11, 2023): 106–12. http://dx.doi.org/10.24144/2523-4498.1(48).2023.2280309.
Texto completoResumen
In the article investigated the causes and course of the conflict between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969, as well as the consequences of the conflict on integration processes in the region. It was noted that the cause of the Salvador-Honduran conflict was in the problems of land reform in Honduras and demographic problems in Salvador; also, in territorial disputes that lasted between the two countries; as well as the uneven development of Salvador and Honduras. In addition, the press of both countries contributed to the aggravation of the crisis, and violence against Salvadorans in Honduras and against Hondurans in Salvador during football matches. In 1969, relations between the two countries deteriorated due to the forced deportation of Salvadorans from Honduras, whom the Honduran government had agreed two years earlier to accept in their country and provide them with land to cultivate. The problem of the deportation of Salvadorans, which was difficult to integrate into Salvador’s economic life due to limited land resources and Salvador’s population overpopulation, posed a number of challenges for the Salvador government. Consequently, the deportations of Salvadorans from Honduras, territorial disputes between the two countries, and Honduras’ economic backwardness from Salvador provoked conflict. The article states that the conflict between Salvador and Honduras resulted according to various sources from 2 to 6 thousand killed civilian and military casualties on both sides; significant number of Salvadorans (according to various sources, from 60 to 130 thousand refugee) who were forcibly deported from Honduras or fled for fear of their future; Honduras and Salvador have suffered significant industrial and social damage as a result of the bombing. However, Honduras suffered more losses, as most of the hostilities took place in Honduran lands; the social situation in Salvador has deteriorated, and the government has been unable to address the economic and social needs of Salvadorans deported from Honduras; Honduras has officially closed its border with El Salvador, thus hindering the circulation of Salvador’ products in Honduras. Thus, the Central American Common Market terminated its regional economic cooperation project; under the rule of both Salvador and Honduras, the political participation of the military was strengthened.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (Commission) brought this action in 1986 against the Government of Honduras in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. The Commission alleged that Honduras had violated Articles 4, 5 and 7 of the American Convention on Human Rights (Convention) with respect to the 1981 detention and subsequent disappearance of a Honduran student, Angel Manfredo Velásquez Rodríguez. The Court ruled for the Commission and unanimously held: (1) that domestic Honduran legal remedies were ineffective and did not bar the Court’s jurisdiction; (2) that a systematic pattern of disappearances was carried out or tolerated by Honduran government officials from 1981 to 1984; (3) that Honduras had violated the victim’s rights as part of that practice; and (4) that Honduras must therefore compensate the family of the victim and that any agreement on the form and amount of compensation must be approved by the Court. The Court further held, by six to one, that it would decide the form and amount of compensation if Honduras and the Commission were unable to negotiate an agreement within 6 months. Judge Piza filed a dissenting opinion.

During the last century, survey efforts for mammals in Honduras have been few and most distributional and conservation assessments of bats have been based on historical records. Taxonomy of many records has changed. Moreover, a number of supposed Honduran occurrences are based on records from bordering countries without confirmation by a Honduran voucher. Therefore, the list of bats of Honduras lacks precision. Here, we update the number of species in the country, including taxonomic changes not reflected in recent works and new records based on museum specimens. The known number of species for Honduras is 113 with seven expected (Cormura brevirostris, Lampronycteris brachyotis, Mesophylla macconnelli, Molossus coibensis, M. pretiosus, Thyroptera discifera and Trinycteris nicefori), based on records in adjoining countries. We provide a new record for Honduras of Natalus lanatus. We confirm the presence of Cynomops greenhalli and Diaemus youngii and clarify the taxonomic status of Artibeus intermedius, Chiroderma gorgasi, Eumops ferox, Gardnerycteris keenani, Lasiurus frantzii, Myotis pilosatibialis, Molossus and Pteronotus species, and Tonatia bakeri. We recommend a reassessment of the conservation status of the bats of Honduras considering recent changes and that a number of species (e.g. Choeronycteris mexicana) have not been observed since their reports in historical records. This requires an update of the taxonomic identification keys for Honduras. The updated checklist below demonstrates the high biodiversity of Honduran bats but is also an example of how poorly many groups have been studied since they were first recorded in the country.

In July 2010, the government of Honduras requested VCOM assistance with a widespread Dengue Outbreak. At the time of the mission trip, over 33,000 Hondurans had been hospitalized for Dengue Fever and a National State of Emergency declared. VCOM sent a team of medical students, faculty and volunteers to answer the call for help. The Honduran government selected five villages where the need for medical attention was greatest. The team provided medical exams, treatment or referral when necessary to approximately 200 patients in each of the five villages. General medical exams were provided in addition to screenings for Dengue Fever and subsequent supportive treatment including oral rehydration salts, Tylenol, vitamins and treatment of complications. National and local strategic partnerships to provide emergency medical response services included the Minister of Health, Minister of Defense, Minister of Transportation and Housing and office of the President of Honduras; Deans of the National and Catholic Medical Schools; President of the Board of Medicine and other governmental and non-governmental offices; Mayors and local officials, and often local media. At Marcala, the Minister of Public Transportation and Housing arrived by Helicopter from Tegucigalpa to greet the VCOM team and patients at the clinic; and at Santa Maria del Real, the Honduran President's son met the team personally. The Honduran support for VCOM's ongoing continuity of health and improved medical care efforts in the country was evident. The trip enhanced the skills and knowledge of participating students and faculty. Student Jenie Sales writes, “I not only enhanced my own clinical experience and knowledge, but I obtained a greater understanding for the people and culture of Honduras.” Student opportunities for reflective learning included case study writing, surveys and evaluations. The successful experience will lead to increased knowledge in the care of patients during a Dengue outbreak.

Honduras Has Emerged as a cocaine transshipment point between Colombia and the United States. One informed source suggests that as much as fifty tons of cocaine have moved through the country during the last fifteen months. This paper examines the politics of drug trafficking in Honduras. Special attention is given to the relations between drug trafficking and the Honduran political environment, the emergence of a new “powder elite, ” and the manner in which US and Honduran authorities are addressing these problems.One of the hemisphere's poorest countries by almost all standards of development, Honduras has a population of about 4.5 million people and an area the size of Tennessee. Unlike neighboring Guatemala and El Salvador where a national oligarchy has enhanced its wealth through an extensive coffee industry, Honduras first emerged in the international economy through its foreign-owned banana enterprises which still are a leading source of foreign exchange.

"Rediscovery of the Honduran Emerald Amazilia luciae in western Honduras: insights on the distribution, ecology, and conservation of a ’Critically Endangered’ hummingbird." Bird Conservation International 20, no. 3 (July 12, 2010): 255–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0959270910000389.
Texto completoResumen
SummaryThe Honduran Emerald Amazilia luciae is endemic to dry forests of Honduras and currently recognised as ‘Critically Endangered.’ Here we present the first modern assessment of its distribution, ecology, and conservation, based partly on our rediscovery of the species in western Honduras and on our observations in three Honduran departments. We found that dry forests inhabited by the emerald differed in structure and species composition between eastern and western Honduras, where we observed emeralds in open-canopied deciduous thorn forests and closed-canopied semi-deciduous woodlands, respectively. We interpret these differences in light of the geological and anthropogenic origins of dry forests in Honduras, and discuss the implications of such origins for the conservation of dry forests. Although our findings expand the known distribution and population size of the species, its status as ‘Critically Endangered’ is warranted due to its restricted distribution in dry forest fragments and increasing human pressures on this habitat.

Texto completoResumen
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.

Texto completoResumen
Accurate pathologic evaluation is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer. ASCO and the College of American Pathologists have successfully collaborated over the last 15 years to improve collaboration between clinical oncologists and pathologists and to standardize pathologic assay techniques. Cancer is an increasingly recognized societal burden in low- and middle-income countries. In 2015, ASCO and the College of American Pathologists implemented an initiative to identify countries that could benefit from peer insights by jointly convening an international workshop among members of both organizations and pathologists and clinical oncologists from Haiti, Honduras, Vietnam, and Uganda. Honduras was chosen as a pilot site, and representatives of ASCO, the College of American Pathologists, and the Honduras pathology and clinical oncology communities have identified areas in which collaboration might be productive. Multiple barriers, including high poverty levels, poor cancer awareness educational programs, lack of human resources, and delayed diagnosis and treatment, have resulted in a higher cancer mortality rate in Honduras compared with high/moderate-income countries and are shared by other low-income countries. ASCO and the College of American Pathologists member faculty supported a symposium led by Honduras colleagues for interested Honduran pathologists and oncologists. The Honduran communities are now working to establish national resource-appropriate guidelines for both pathology and clinical oncology. Taken together, these efforts indicate that barriers to meet the needs of the clinical oncologists in a low-income country such as Honduras are challenging but not insurmountable.

Texto completoResumen
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.

On July 28, 1986, the Republic of Nicaragua filed an application instituting proceedings against the Republic of Honduras in the International Court of Justice. Nicaragua alleged that Honduras had allowed armed bands, known as contras, to operate from its territory to the detriment of Nicaraguan sovereignty, that Honduran military forces had directly participated in attacks on Nicaragua and that the Government of Honduras had given material aid and logistical support to the rebels. Nicaragua requested that the Court declare the acts and omissions of Honduras to be violations of international law and order it to desist from all such activities and to make reparations to Nicaragua. Honduras objected to the jurisdiction of the Court and to the admissibility of the Application. The parties subsequently agreed that the Court should first decide these questions before proceeding to the merits. Relying on the Pact of Bogotá for its jurisdictional rationale, the Court unanimously held: that it had jurisdiction and that the Application could be entertained.

AbstractSocial groups in Honduras played a key role in regional developments betweena.d.800 and 1100, acting as the pivot in long-distance networks extending west as far as Tula, north to Chichen Itza, and south to Costa Rica. Understanding the role of Honduran settlements at this time has been obstructed by the lack of well-dated contexts from this period and the associated uncertainty about the development of the key Honduran ceramic type, Las Vegas Polychrome. This paper offers a definition of the distinctive features that characterize Las Vegas Polychrome, reviewing evidence supporting earlier dates than traditionally suggested for this type, as early as the emergence of any white-slipped polychrome in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It summarizes evidence for a suite of luxuries consumed in conjunction with Las Vegas Polychrome, and points to the products most likely produced in Honduras for exchange with partners who provided these. Finally, the article considers the ideological, social, and political implications of changes in Honduran settlements where the new pottery was used.

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Centronycteris centralis Thomas, 1912 has been included in lists of Honduran mammals; however, there are no verified records of the species for the country. We present the first verified record based on acoustic sampling at the Texiguat Wildlife Refuge, northern Honduras. This bat is a forest specialist that needs protected areas for its survival. Although this new record does not extend the distribution of the species, it confirms its presence in Honduras and highlights the relevance of the protected area housing the species. With the current record of C. centralis, there are now 112 confirmed bat species for Honduras.

AbstractThis article presents, for the first time, a continuous series of value of Honduran exports and imports for the period 1880-1930, extending the series previously available from Notten (2012). The new series were constructed based on the official statistics of the main trading partners of Honduras (United States, Great Britain, Germany and France) corrected from Honduran and complementary sources. The correction criteria applied are based on the results of a previous reliability validation exercise. The data obtained allow to delimit a new chronology of the foreign trade of Honduras where the “export age” began before the banana export boom that took place between 1903 and 1930.

Texto completoResumen
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.

Texto completoResumen
The mistletoe Psittacanthus angustifolius Kuijt (Loranthaceae) was first described in 1987 on Pinus from Nicaragua near the Honduran border, but the species of pine was not designated (1). Kuijt (1) speculated that this mistletoe probably also occurs in Honduras. During March and October 1999 we observed P. angustifolius parasitizing Pinus oocarpa Schiede in the departments of Choluteca, Francisco Morazan, El Paraiso, Intibuca, Lempira, and Olancho in Honduras. This mistletoe appears to be a very common parasitic plant on pines in Honduras and is associated with host mortality. We also observed P. angustifolius parasitizing Pinus maximinoi H.E. Moore at two locations in the department of Lempira: one infection on a single tree 1.5 km east of El Matazano (elevation 1,400 m) and six and eight infections on two trees 0.5 km west of the main entrance to Celaque National Park east of Gracias (elevation 1,200 m). This is the first report of P. angustifolius in Honduras and the first report of this mistletoe on Pinus oocarpa and Pinus maximinoi. Specimens of P. angustifolius from Pinus oocarpa and Pinus maximinoi have been deposited at the Herbario, Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Forestales, Siguatepeque, Honduras, and at the Deaver Herbarium, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff.

Texto completoResumen
The "Cyril Hardy Nelson Sutherland" Herbarium (TEFH) holds a remarkable collection of 317 palm specimens up to March 2024, comprising a total of 73 species, including 14 non-native species to Honduras. Notable specimens include Chamaedorea moliniana and Cryosophila williamsii, two of the three endemic palm species recorded in Honduras. The most represented species are Chamaedorea costaricana, Chamaedorea neurochlamys, and Chamaedorea pinnatifrons. Dr. Cyril H. Nelson Sutherland is the primary contributor with 123 samples, equivalent to 38.8 % of the total. Samples collected by Dr. Fred A. Barkley in 1970 are the oldest of Honduran palms in this herbarium. The collection comprises 2 subfamilies, 30 genera, and 73 species, distributed in 16 of the 18 departments of the country. The main departments of Honduras where palms have been collected are Atlántida, Gracias a Dios, Olancho, and Cortés. The main purpose of this study is to disseminate the findings derived from the evaluation conducted on the palm collection (Arecaceae) at the TEFH herbarium, this marking the beginning of the exploration of the current state of this family in Honduras.

Texto completoResumen
When on July 16th war broke out between Honduras and El Salvador, their comparative strengths were such that El Salvador quickly assumed the upper hand. Its troops routed the adversary and occupied large sections of Honduran territory. The advantage gained by El Salvador from its victory was of short duration however. The intervention of the OAS forced an end to the hostilities and obtained from El Salvador the evacuation of the conquered geographical space. This war nevertheless constituted only a moment of a conflict that has already lasted a very long time. Migratory questions are at the heart of the outstanding differences between the two countries. El Salvador refused to accept that its national domiciled in Honduras should have heir possessions seized and be returned to their country of origin while Honduras, alarmed and fearing the consequences of a clandestine occupation of its territory, intended to put an end to that situation. The two adversaries' determination was such that negotiations and bargaining were powerless to bring their positions closer together. Confronted with this impasse, the Honduran authorities decided to proceed unilaterally and war ensued. The calculation was not unfounded since El Salvador did not succeed in gaining the fruits of its victory. Its objectives — protection of human resources and systemic relations — were far from achieved. It was therefore Honduras that appeared to be in a better position. The expulsion and dispossession of Salvadoran nationals continued after the cessation of hostilities. The hoped for restructuration of systemic relations between the two countries is progressing despite the threats and protests of the Salvadoran government.

Texto completoResumen
Las demandas de arbitraje de inversión dirigidas contra el Estado de Honduras han despertado un interés tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, debido a las profundas implicaciones legales, económicas y de reputación que conllevan. Este trabajo comienza presentando una introducción al concepto del arbitraje de inversión y posteriormente se concentra en la dinámica particular que Honduras ha establecido con este campo. Esto engloba desde su proceso de ratificación del Convenio CIADI hasta el marco legal que sustenta las instancias de arbitraje en el ámbito de inversiones dentro y fuera del país. El estudio examina detenidamente los tratados de inversión ratificados y los casos de arbitraje de inversión en los cuales Hondura ha participado y está participando, ya sea como parte contendiente o en una posición no contendiente. En última instancia, el trabajo culmina al proyectar las perspectivas futuras del arbitraje de inversión en Honduras, proporcionando una visión informada sobre cómo el país podría adaptarse y mejorar sus enfoques legales y regulatorios en este ámbito. En resumen, este estudio ofrece una exploración rigurosa de la relación entre Honduras y el arbitraje de inversión, iluminando su pasado, presente y posibles trayectorias hacia el futuro.

Obsidian sources, and the proportions of those sources represented in site collections, are known poorly in the southeast mesoamerican periphery. The Honduran sources of La Esperanza and Güinope are described and “fingerprinted” chemically, and their utilization is explored in selected sites in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Although prehistoric Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans used obsidian from sources as far away as Honduras and Guatemala, most of their cutting tools were made from local materials, using informal manufacturing techniques. The analytical results indicate two sources of new types of obsidian have yet to be found; they may lie in western Nicaragua.

Texto completoResumen
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.

Texto completoResumen
Pseudocercospora fijiensis is the causal pathogen of black Sigatoka, a devastating disease of banana that can cause 20 to 80% yield loss in the absence of fungicides in banana crops. The genetic structure of populations of P. fijiensis in Costa Rica was examined and compared with Honduran and global populations to better understand migration patterns and inform management strategies. In total, 118 isolates of P. fijiensis collected from Costa Rica and Honduras from 2010 to 2014 were analyzed using multilocus genotyping of six loci and compared with a previously published global dataset of populations of P. fijiensis. The Costa Rican and Honduran populations shared haplotype diversity with haplotypes from Southeast Asia, Oceania, and the Americas but not Africa for all but one of the six loci studied. Gene flow and shared haplotype diversity was found in Honduran and Costa Rican populations of the pathogen. The data indicate that the haplotypic diversity observed in Costa Rican populations of P. fijiensis is derived from dispersal from initial outbreak sources in Honduras and admixtures between genetically differentiated sources from Southeast Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.

This article identifies and analyzes studies on authoritarianism in Honduras between 1990 and 2024. Its aim is to understand the roots and evolution of authoritarian dynamics in the country, recognizing some background since the 1980s. It explores the recent political history of Honduras, primarily from a political science perspective, through a comprehensive review of existing literature on authoritarianism in Honduras during the period from 1990 to 2024. The work highlights the interconnection of political, social, and economic factors with undemocratic practices and is built on documentary review techniques, which allow for the identification, examination, and analysis of a wide variety of sources selected based on the credibility of the author in the field and the prestige of the place of publication. Regarding its structure, the article first addresses the background of authoritarianism in Honduras during the 1980s. Secondly, it analyzes the events in the 1990s and 2000s. The third section focuses on the 2009 coup d'état and its immediate consequences. As a fourth section, it examines the administration of Juan Orlando Hernández, followed by a fifth section that evaluates the effects of the pandemic on Honduran democracy. The sixth section addresses the administration of Xiomara Castro and the LIBRE party, while the seventh incorporates an analysis of the relationship between democracy and environmental authoritarianism. Finally, the conclusions derived from the analysis of literature addressing authoritarianism in Honduras are presented. ECA Estudios Centroamericanos, Vol. 79, No. 774, 2024: 65-96.

Texto completoResumen
For approximately the last two-and-a-half decades it has been a stated goal of both Honduran and U.S. policy to improve the welfare of the Honduran people, both directly through the provision of services and indirectly through the promotion of economic development. The need is great; Honduras has the lowest per capita GNP in Central America ($660 in 1984) and the highest population growth rate (3.4%). It also has the second highest percentage of its population living in rural areas (61%). Consequently, rural development has been a primary concern of development programs.

Honduran dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium hondurense Hawksw. & Wiens) is a rare dwarf mistletoe found only in Honduras (1,2). Thus far, it has been reported to parasitize only Pinus oocarpa Schiede (2). In October 1999, we observed infection by A. hondurense on P. tecunumannii (Schw.) Eguiluz et Perry along the trail to the summit of Montana del Celaque (elevation 1,750 to 1,800 m) on the east side of Celaque National Park, ≈5 km west of Gracias (Department Lempira), Honduras. Infected pines had witches′ brooms, and mistletoe shoot production was common on infected branches. This is the first report of A. hondurense on P. tecunumannii. Specimens of A. hondurense from P. tecunumannii were collected and have been deposited at the Herbario, Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Forestales, Siguatepeque, Honduras, and at the Deaver Herbarium, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff.

Texto completoResumen
Coreidae bugs are mostly sap-sucking insects feeding on a variety of plants. Despite their abundance and economic importance in Honduras there is little information on the species, their distribution and affected crops. Since knowledge of pest species allows for better management of crops, we aimed to document the diversity of this economically important group. Specimens from four entomological collections in Honduras were studied and an exhaustive search of all available literature was conducted. A total of 2,036 insects were examined. The fauna of Honduran coreids is now composed of 68 species. Nineteen species are recorded for the country for the first time and 17 species were found only in literature. Little is known about the biology and economic importance of most of the species.

Purpose Zika virus (ZIKV) statistics in Honduras are the highest among countries in Central America. National risk communication strategies have primarily focused on vector control and are integrated into existing approaches for Dengue and Chikungunya. Given the new evidence on ZIKV, there is a need to revamp risk communication strategies so that they are informed by dynamic listening methods such as knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey was administered to 604 respondents in 21 designated Honduran communities using a two-stage, 30-cluster sampling method. Findings Almost eight out of ten Hondurans knew that Zika can be transmitted by the bite of a mosquito; however, only 2 and 0.1 percent, respectively, were aware that Zika can be spread by sexual intercourse and from a pregnant woman to her fetus. In total, four out of ten Hondurans knew that there is a causal relationship between Zika and microcephaly in newborns, and three out of ten knew that there is an association between Zika and Guillian-Barré syndrome. Overall, 50 percent of respondents said that they did not have enough information about the disease. Social implications The findings of this study clearly identify information priority gaps that need to be urgently addressed by national stakeholders involved in public health activities to protect the most vulnerable population against Zika disease and its complications. Originality/value This study is the first of its kind in Central America to inform any national risk communication strategy since the inception of the ZIKV response, particularly among at risk populations.

El objetivo del artículo es presentar los hallazgos de la investigación que analizó el estado de la formación inicial docente (FID) para la enseñanza de la Lectoescritura inicial (LEI) de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPNFM) de Honduras. Se mapeó el currículo de Profesorado de Educación Básica para el I y II Ciclo en el grado de Licenciatura en el ámbito de LEI, a partir de un marco de referencia basado en la evidencia actual sobre la enseñanza de la lectoescritura. Asimismo, se entrevistó y observó a docentes formadores y docentes en formación para recolectar información. El estudio de enfoque cualitativo se llevó a cabo de julio 2018 a marzo de 2019. Los resultados mostraron la fortaleza del diseño curricular sustentado en el modelo educativo por competencias. Sin embargo, los cursos relacionados con enseñanza de LEI no están lo suficientemente alineados con la evidencia contemporánea; el currículo presenta brechas y limita los procesos de formación de los docentes porque no proporciona un grado suficiente de dominio de contenidos y conocimientos de pedagogía de la LEI.

AbstractObjectiveTo identify factors associated with the presence and severity of food insecurity among a sample of Honduran caregivers of young children.DesignCross-sectional study in which the dependent variable, household food insecurity, was measured using a fourteen-item questionnaire developed and validated in a population of similar cultural context. A predictive modelling strategy used backwards elimination in logistic regression and multinomial logit regression models to compute odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals for food insecurity.SettingRural Honduras in the department of Intibucá, between March and April 2009.SubjectsTwo-hundred and ninety-eight Honduran caregivers of children aged 6–18 months.ResultsNinety-three per cent of households were classified as having some degree of food insecurity (mild, moderate or severe). After controlling for caregiver age and marital status, compared with caregivers with more than primary-school education, those with less than primary-school education had 3·47 (95 % CI 1·34, 8·99) times the odds of severe food insecurity and 2·29 (95 % CI 1·00, 5·25) times the odds of moderate food insecurity. Our results also found that child anthropometric status was not associated with the presence or severity of food insecurity.ConclusionsThese results show that among the sociodemographic factors assessed, food insecurity in rural Honduras is associated with maternal education. Understanding key factors associated with food insecurity that are unique to Honduras can inform the design of interventions to effectively mitigate the negative impact of food insecurity on children.

Resumen ∙ El Colibrí Esmeralda Hondureño (Amazilia luciae) es la única ave endémica de Honduras. Esta especie en peligro habita valles intermontanos con bosques áridos espinosos, bosque semi‐deciduo o áreas abiertas con arbustos dispersos. Durante un año (agosto de 2014–julio de 2015) se llevaron a cabo búsquedas de nidos de Amazilia luciae. Se registraron 17 nidos los cuales fueron monitoreados. La mayoría de los nidos (N = 15) se encontraron entre enero y marzo. Los nidos tuvieron forma de copa y se registró el uso de nueve especies de plantas nativas como sustrato. El ciclo reproductivo, desde construcción hasta que los polluelos dejan el nido, fue de 42 días. Los nidos encontrados contenían 1–2 huevos o polluelos. Finalmente se documentaron 14 ocasiones de cuidado maternal hacia juveniles fuera del nido. Estos resultados ayudarán a guiar estudios futuros, así como informar a participantes de esfuerzos locales de conservación dirigidos a beneficiar esta especie.Abstract ∙ Notes on the nesting and maternal care of the Honduran Emerald (Amazilia luciae) in the Agalta Valley, Honduras The Honduran Emerald (Amazilia luciae) is the only endemic bird in Honduras. This endangered hummingbird inhabits intermontane valleys with arid thorn forests, semi‐deciduous forest or open habitat with dispersed shrubs. During one year (August 2014–July 2015) we conducted searches for Honduran Emerald nests. We found and monitored 17 nests. Most nests (N = 15) were found between January and March. Nests were cup‐shaped and nine native plant species were recorded as substrate. The nesting cycle, from nest construction to fledging, takes approximately 42 days. Nests contained 1–2 eggs or nestlings. We documented 14 occasions of maternal care towards juveniles outside of the nest. This study will help guide future studies as well as promote local conservation efforts.

ResumenSe modeló la distribución potencial del tapir en Honduras, utilizando el programa MaxEnt. Se identificaron las áreas de idoneidad con base en la correlación de los registros de la presencia de la especie y 19 variables climáticas. Los resultados predicen un área aproximada para Honduras de 19,751 km2, lo que representa el 17.55% del territorio hondureño. Se obtuvo un auc de 0.933 y se mostraron valores de 0.32 a 1 en la distribución potencial del tapir. El territorio de la especie se limita a los bosques nublados del caribe hondureño, a una pequeña porción del centro montañoso de Honduras, así como la región de la Moskitia. El hábitat de la distribución del tapir se encuentra fragmentado y aislado, dominado principalmente por paisajes agrícolas. Así mismo el tapir se encuentra amenazado por la presión de cacería y la pérdida de su hábitat por deforestación. De no implementar mayores esfuerzos en la conservación del tapir, esta especie está destinada a extirparse en gran parte de su rango de distribución en Honduras.Palabras clave: distribución potencial, extinción local, idoneidad, MaxEnt.AbstractPotential distribution for tapir in Honduras was modeled using the MaxEnt program. Suitable areas were identified for tapir, correlated and based on records of the presence of the species and 19 climatic variables. The results predicted a potential distribution area in Honduras of 19,751 km2 representing 17.55% of Honduran territory; showing an auc of 0.993 and values from 0.32 to 1 in the potential distribution of the tapir. The tapir territory is represented in the Caribbean by cloud forest and a few high lands in the central east of Honduras and the Moskitia region. The habitat of the tapir is fragmented and isolated, dominated by agricultural landscapes. The tapir is threatened by hunting pressure and habitat loss due to deforestation. If conservation efforts are not improved, this specie will disappear from its distribution range in Honduras.Key words: potential distribution, local extinction, adequacy, MaxEnt.

This paper analyzes the determinants and consequences of youth unemployment in Honduras. The study is based on the estimation of error correction models that express youth unemployment in terms of real sector variables. The results indicate that exports, remittances and self employment reduce youth unemployment, while the expansion of the service sector increases it; other results show that youth unemployment is susceptible to economic activity in the other Central American countries, specifically to economic growth in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Youth unemployment exerts negative impacts on Honduras’ productivity and on economic growth. The study also highlights the role of education on preventing youth unemployment and the importance of designing a Youth Agenda that would comprise several initiatives that are of special value to Honduran youth. It is hoped that these results would motivate policy makers and society in general to increase investments in the human capital areas so that youth avoid falling into the traps resulting from unemployment.

Salmonella continues to cause a considerable number of foodborne illnesses worldwide. The sources of outbreaks include contaminated meat and produce. The purpose of this study was to establish an initial investigation of the burden of Salmonella in produce and beef from Honduras by sampling retail markets and abattoirs. Retail produce samples (cantaloupes, cilantro, cucumbers, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes; n = 573) were purchased in three major cities of Honduras, and retail whole-muscle beef (n = 555) samples were also purchased in four major cities. Additionally, both hide and beef carcass (n = 141) samples were collected from two Honduran abattoirs. Whole-muscle beef samples were obtained using a sponge hydrated with buffered peptone water, and 10 ml of the buffered peptone water rinsate of each produce sample was collected with a dry sponge and placed in a bag to be transported back to the United States. Salmonella was detected using a commercially available, close-platform PCR system, and positive samples were subjected to culture on selective media to obtain isolates. Overall, the prevalence of Salmonella-positive samples, based on PCR detection in Honduras (n = 555) retail beef was 10.1% (95% confidence interval = .8, 12.9), whereas 7.8% (n = 141) of beef carcass and hides samples were positive in both beef plants. The overall Salmonella prevalence for all produce samples (n = 573) collected was 2.1% (95% confidence interval = 1.2, 3.6). The most common serotypes identified in Honduras were Salmonella Typhimurium followed by Derby. These results provide an indication of Salmonella contamination of beef and produce in Honduras. Developing a Salmonella baseline for Latin America through an initial investigation like the one presented here contributes to a broader global understanding of the potential exposure through food, thus providing insight into the needs for control strategies.

The author of the article examines the evolution of political confrontation in Honduras during the second presidential mandate of Juan Orlando Hernandez. He analyzes the causes and process of the growth of protest moods in society. He proves that Honduras experienced several protest waves, which eventually led to the erosion of the electoral base of the right-wing regime. The author also focuses on such a destabilizing factor as the problem of corruption, which traditionally plays a significant role in the internal political life of Honduras. He examines the main state reforms implemented by the government, in particular, the reform of electoral legislation, and touches upon aspects related to the functioning of the armed forces and their socio-political activity. In particular, he shows the role of the Honduran military in the force scenarios for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a significant increase in dissatisfaction with the policy of the authorities. The author proves that the actions of the authorities led to a rise in public sentiment in support of alternative political forces, which eventually came to power following the 2021 elections.

Mesoamerican cloud forests support a rich and unique biodiversity but face severe threats from increasing habitat degradation and climate change. Here, we present an updated overview of the amphibians and reptiles of Cusuco National Park (CNP), an isolated cloud forest in the Sierra de Omoa, Northwest Honduras. Based on surveys conducted over a 17-year period, we report the presence of 105 confirmed species of amphibians (30) and reptiles (75) within the reserve. This includes numerous threatened and regionally endemic amphibian species, as well as several reptile species previously unrecorded within the park. Given that it harbours approximately 26% of all recorded Honduran herpetofauna, our study highlights CNP as the most diverse forest region in Honduras with respect to the reptile and amphibian diversity documented to date. Our findings reinforce the plea to actively protect CNP as a globally valuable biodiversity hotspot and a centre of herpetofaunal endemicity. Furthermore, in the face of rapid deforestation across Mesoamerica, our findings highlight the need for expanded biodiversity studies across extant forest regions in Honduras to refine species distribution ranges and facilitate timely and effective conservation measures.

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.

AbstractThis article offers an historical-materialist account of the coup in Honduras on 28 June 2009, which ousted democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya. It draws on over two dozen interviews with members of theFrente Nacional de la Resistencia Popular[National Front of Popular Resistance, FNRP], and participation in numerous marches and assemblies over two periods of fieldwork – January 2010, and June–July 2011. The paper steps back in time to provide an historical cartography of the basic material structures of the Honduran economy and its integration into the world market, as well as the geopolitical role it played as a launching pad for Ronald Reagan’s counter-insurgency campaigns against guerrilla forces elsewhere in the region during the 1980s. We show how the defeat of mass guerrilla insurgencies in Guatemala and El Salvador, as well as the triumph over the Sandinista government in Nicaragua by 1990, allowed for the neoliberal pacification of Central America as a whole, including Honduras. We further demonstrate how the centre-leftist Manuel Zelaya, elected to the Honduran presidency in 2006, modestly encroached upon neoliberal orthodoxy and forged geopolitical alliances with left and centre-left governments elsewhere in the region, laying the bases for his violent overthrow. Finally, the paper traces the origins, trajectory, and heterogeneity of the resistance that emerged almost immediately after the coup had been carried out.
