Regeneración y respuesta a disturbios en el Bosque Chaqueño Serrano

Romina C Torres; Daniel Renison

Editorial Academica Espanola
2012
pokkari
La restauraci n ecol gica es una actividad de creciente importancia mundial en ecosistemas que han sido afectados por actividades ganaderas, fuegos, tala y el incremento de las urbanizaciones y las invasiones de especies no nativas. En este libro encontrar los resultados del estudio de la capacidad de recuperaci n y resistencia a los disturbios de tres de las principales especies arb reas nativas presentes en estadios sucesionales maduros del Bosque Chaque o Serrano, un ecosistema especialmente inh spito para el establecimiento de la vegetaci n debido a la larga estaci n seca. Se concluye que las especies de estudio tienen gran variabilidad en su capacidad germinativa y bajas tasas de establecimiento y crecimiento a campo, lo cual es compensado por una alta supervivencia y capacidad de rebrote ante los disturbios como el fuego y el pastoreo del ganado dom stico. El abordaje experimental de este trabajo as como la discusi n de los resultados resultar de utilidad para quienes est n interesados en el manejo y restauraci n de bosques secos alrededor del mundo.

Tratamientos y características fisico químicas de la carne

Luis C Baleta M; Daniel S Duran O; Rafael E González C

Editorial Academica Espanola
2013
pokkari
La calidad microbiol gica y la terneza de la carne son fundamentales en cuanto a la aceptabilidad o rechazo del alimento por parte del consumidor, dependiendo de un gran n mero de factores tanto intr nsecos como extr nsecos. La carne por su contenido nutricional y su alto valor de actividad de agua (Aw) est considerada dentro del grupo de los alimentos altamente perecederos, existiendo una relaci n directa entre la calidad sensorial y la inocuidad;es decir, cambios en las propiedades sensoriales asociados a la presencia de microorganismos, que pueden ser pat genos para el consumidor, los cuales pueden causar alteraciones en el producto. En este manuscrito se presenta el efecto que produce el masajeado con CaCl2 y aceite de romero sobre el comportamiento de la actividad bacteriana y las caracter sticas fisicoqu micas del corte churrasco tipo argentino.

A Scientific Search for Altruism

A Scientific Search for Altruism

C. Daniel Batson

Oxford University Press Inc
2019
sidottu
For centuries, the egoism-altruism debate has echoed through Western thought. Egoism says that the motivation for everything we do, including our seemingly selfless acts of care for others, is to gain one or another self-benefit. Altruism, while not denying the force of self-interest, says that under certain circumstances we can care for others for their sakes, not our own. Over the past half-century, social psychologists have turned to laboratory experiments on humans to provide a scientific resolution of this debate about our nature. The experiments have focused on the possibility that empathic concern-other-oriented emotion elicited by and congruent with the perceived welfare of someone in need-produces altruistic motivation to remove that need. With carefully constructed experimental designs, these scientists have tested the nature of the motivation produced by empathic concern, determining whether it is egoistic or altruistic and, thereby, providing an answer to a fundamental question about what makes us tick. Framed as a detective story, this book traces the scientific search for altruism through numerous studies and attempts to examine various motivational suspects, reaching the improbable conclusion that empathy-induced altruism is indeed part of our nature. The book then considers the implications of this conclusion both for our understanding of who we are as humans (the bad news as well as the good) and for how we might create a more humane society.

From Sound to Synapse

From Sound to Synapse

C. Daniel Geisler

Oxford University Press Inc
1998
sidottu
This book describes the major steps by which the mammalian ear transforms sound into nerve impulses. The author leads us along the pathway followed by an acoustic signal--collected by the outer ear, augmented by the middle ear, then delivered to the inner ear where the minuscule vibrations of the sound waves are transformed into nerve impulses. At each stage, the basic mechanisms are described qualitatively in terms of current theories and illustrated with experimental data. Where appropriate, related mechanisms in the ears of other vertebrates are considered. It is shown that the mammalian ear does an exquisite job of translating sound signals into a very robust nerve-pulse code. The book concludes with descriptions of some common ear impairments and a brief survey of the treatments available for them. The text is integrated with animations of mechanical and neural phenomena available through the Internet.

Altruism in Humans

Altruism in Humans

C. Daniel Batson

Oxford University Press Inc
2011
sidottu
We send money to help famine victims halfway around the world. We campaign to save whales and oceans. We stay up all night to comfort a friend with a broken relationship. People will at times risk -- even lose -- their lives for others, including strangers. Why do we do these things? What motivates such behavior? Altruism in Humans takes a hard-science look at the possibility that we humans have the capacity to care for others for their sakes rather than simply for our own. Based on an extensive series of theory-testing laboratory experiments conducted over the past 35 years, this book details a theory of altruistic motivation, offers a comprehensive summary of the research designed to test the empathy-altruism hypothesis, and considers the theoretical and practical implications of this conclusion. Authored by the world's preeminent scholar on altruism, this landmark work is an authoritative scholarly resource on the theory surrounding altruism and its potential contribution to better interpersonal relations and a better society.

Empathic Concern

Empathic Concern

C. Daniel Batson

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2023
sidottu
Empathy has received much attention in recent years, being touted by some as a cure for what ails our society but considered by others to be a source of trouble. One reason for the very different assessments is that "empathy" has been used to refer to different psychological phenomena. For some scholars and researchers, empathy refers to feeling as another feels. Others think of empathy as feeling for, not feeling as, another. When the other is in need, feeling for him or her has been called "empathic concern." This book provides an evidence-based review of developments in our understanding of empathic concern over the past five decades, clarifying what empathic concern is (and isn't), where it comes from, what its forms are, its motivational consequences, and its importance in interpersonal and intergroup relations. Rather than lauding empathic concern as a panacea or castigating it as a problem, the evidence supports a more nuanced view: Empathic concern has benefits but also liabilities, and its benefits can be realized only if we recognize and address its liabilities. The evidence-based review also points to needed next steps in research on the nature and function of empathic concern-and on its use in interventions to increase sensitive response to the needs of others near and far.

What's Wrong With Morality?

What's Wrong With Morality?

C. Daniel Batson

Oxford University Press Inc
2015
sidottu
Most works on moral psychology direct our attention to the positive role morality plays for us as individuals, as a society, even as a species. In What's Wrong with Morality?, C. Daniel Batson takes a different approach: he looks at morality as a problem. The problem is not that it is wrong to be moral, but that our morality often fails to produce these intended results. Why? Some experts believe the answer lies in lack of character. Others say we are victims of poor judgment. If we could but discern what is morally right, whether through logical analysis and discourse, through tuned intuition and a keen moral sense, or through feeling and sentiment, we would act accordingly. Implicit in these different views is the assumption that if we grow up properly, if we can think and feel as we should, and if we can keep a firm hand on the tiller through the storms of circumstance, all will be well. We can realize our moral potential. Many of our best writers of fiction are less optimistic. Astute observers of the human condition like Austen, Balzac, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Eliot, Tolstoy, and Twain suggest our moral psychology is more complex. These writers encourage us to look more closely at our motives, emotions, and values, at what we really care about in the moral domain. In this volume, Batson examines this issue from a social-psychological perspective. Drawing on research suggesting our moral life is fertile ground for rationalization and deception, including self-deception, Batson offers a hard-nosed analysis of morality and its limitations in this expertly written book.

The Altruism Question

The Altruism Question

C. Daniel Batson

Psychology Press
1991
sidottu
Are our efforts to help others ever driven solely by altruistic motivation, or is our ultimate goal always some form of self- benefit (egoistic motivation)? This volume reports the development of an empirically-testable theory of altruistic motivation and a series of experiments designed to test that theory. It sets the issue of egoism versus altruism in its larger historical and philosophical context, and brings diverse experiments into a single, integrated argument. Readers will find that this book provides a solid base of information from which questions surrounding the existence of altruistic motivation can be further investigated.
