Preference for oils with different types of genetic modifications in Temuco, Araucanía Región, Chile. Cien. Inv. Agr. 37(1):17-28. Considering that attitudes towards biotechnology depend on the type of modification used, a study was performed to determine the importance of the type of Genetic Modification (GM) in preferences for oil purchased by consumers in Temuco (Araucanía Region, Chile) and the existence of different market segments using a survey of 400 people. A conjoint analysis demonstrated that the type of GM (70.3%) was more important than the price of the oil (29.7%). Four segments were distinguished using an analysis of hierarchical conglomerates, but the type of GM was the most important factor in all segments. Two groups preferred oil without GM and oil with GM that reduces the use of pesticides and rejected oil with GM that increases calcium content; the larger of these groups (42.8%) preferred to pay a lower price, while the other (16.8%) they preferred higher priced oils. One group (27.2%) rejected all types of GM. The smallest group (13.2%) rejected oil without GM and preferred oil with GM that reduces the use of pesticides and oil with GM that increases calcium. All of the groups rejected oil with GM that reduces production costs. The groups were differentiated by the family size, lifestyle, ethnic origin, reading of the labels on foodstuffs, and the variety of oil habitually consumed. The absence of GM in oils is desirable for the majority of consumers (86.8%); however, a high proportion (72.8%) would accept oils with GM that reduces the use of pesticides.
Este texto analisa os atravessamentos de gênero no processo de inserção de professores homens na Educação Infantil. Com base nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da História Oral, foram entrevistados dois professores de Educação Física e duas diretoras da rede privada de ensino. Após transcritos, os depoimentos foram analisados na articulação com o conceito de gênero e por meio dos procedimentos da “Análise de Conteúdo”. Ao longo do processo de inserção na Educação Infantil, os professores tiveram sua sexualidade questionada, ao passo que sua atuação nesse nível da educação foi legitimada pela “necessidade de uma referência masculina para os alunos. Ao mesmo tempo que os professores necessitam ser vigiados, sua presença garantiria a manutenção de um currículo heteronormativo.
Amid the economic and political unrest now troubling the nation there is a growing concern over the influx of undocumented immigrants. In recent years this concern has encouraged proposed legislation to stem the tide of illegal immigration from Mexico.' It has been Congress, specifically the House of Representatives, which has led the body politic to draft and enact legislation which would achieve this aim. 2 Sparked by claims that undocumented workers were taking much needed jobs from legal residents, thus further aggravating an already unhealthy economy, 3 *The authors wish to thank Bill Lew for his assistance in the writing and research of this article.1. It was during the Nixon Administration that the government's most recent attempts to curb the flow of undocumented aliens commenced. H.R. 2328, the first of these bills was introduced in 1970. The bill recommended that a criminal penalty be imposed on employers for the hiring of undocumented individuals. Members of the House Subcommittee considered the penalty too harsh, difficult to enforce, and vague in that there were no guidelines to determine the meaning of "knowingly" employing unauthorized workers. H.R. 16188, supported by the AFL-CIO in the 92d Cong., provided a multifaceted plan to remove the employment incentive from undocumented aliens. The bill was reported out by the House Judiciary Committee on August 17, 1972, and was passed by the House on September 12, 1972. H.R. 982 embodies the provisions for both H.R. 2328 and H.R. 16188 and was introduced to the 93d Cong. by the Judiciary Committee and adopted by the House on May 3, 1973. It was not reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1974, but was reintroduced before the House Judiciary Committee in January, 1975 and was reported out of Committee as H.R. 8713 for consideration by the full house. See Hearings Before Subcommittee No.
Based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Oral History and Gender as an analytical category, this article analyzes the insertion of male teachers in Early Childhood Education. Two physical education teachers and two directors of the private school system participated in this study. From the memories of the deponents it was possible to perceive that the presence of men in Early Childhood Education was legitimized by the 'need' of a masculine reference for the children. Despite this, the deponents reported that they had their sexuality put under suspicion, after all, they would be breaking gender norms for the male gender.
