Entendiendo que el valor de una producción cerámica no sólo reside en los objetos que la constituyen sino en posibilitar un mayor conocimiento de la sociedad que le dio uso, resulta significativa la inexistencia de una tipología sobre aquella producida en los alfares de Teruel durante época bajomedieval. Con dicha carencia como principal motivación, se presenta una propuesta sistemática formal de la misma basada en la observación, estudio y clasificación de materiales bajo criterios homogéneos. Se pretende así una aproximación a su evolución y desarrollo, incluyendo posibles influencias recibidas y paralelos en producciones coetáneas.

This article seeks to investigate the main historical, theoretical and political elements that marked the origin of the so-called Modern Geography from the philosophical, epistemological and methodological exploration that modern science advanced and its pragmatic and utilitarian usefulness in the process of shaping the capitalist world market, particularly in the process of colonization. Unlike previously written works on the subject matter, the present exposition emphasizes the legitimating role that knowledge and geographical practices had upon the transition from feudal to capitalist society, specifically the rise and consolidation of the bourgeoisie.

The objective of this work is to present the conformation of the tourism space in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, based on the analysis of the Don Vasco route. A touristic-cultural route whose design, planning and management seeks to promote cultural tourism through the enhancement of the existing cultural and natural heritage in two of the ten geographical regions that characterize the entity: Lacustre and Meseta Purhépecha regions. The present research is comprised of two sections: the first outlines the natural, historical and sociocultural basis that supports tourism growth in the study area; the second, by way of applying the Space Articulation Model as the main methodological resource, identifies the elements around which tourism space is built: the touristic resources and services, the spatial channels of tourist articulation, as well as the exchange flows that these originate at the national and foreign levels.

In this study, a total of forty-three of the twelve settlements were interviewed in the Settlement of Three Bridges, which corresponds to 27.9%. The study also analyzed the use of pesticides in the study area belonging to the municipality of Perolândia (GO), with views to reveal the impacts of these products on public health. The age range of the subjects varies from 35 to 70 years, being able to affirm that it is an adult population. The level of schooling 72.7% is incomplete. Reality that interferes when you think chemicals require a degree of understanding to handle them. For Florêncio et. Al. (2001), "Most workers state that they are not able to understand the instructions and recommendations contained in product labels" (Florêncio, et al. 2001, p. 51). We investigated the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); the knowledge about the agronomic recipe, a mandatory item in the acquisition of these products, and the correct disposal of empty containers. The results showed that of the twelve lots visited 90.9% recognize the importance of the EPis, but they do not use it, all are not aware of the agronomic prescription and 30% outsource the pesticide control of their properties. It is a qualitative research, opting for field study. Data collection instruments were used: the observations, the application of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The subjects were the families settled in the Settlement Three Bridges, presenting the reality of this community, about their way of life and mainly the influence of pesticides in their productive activities, as well as their awareness and safety in their use. It was verified that in the researched settlement families use agrochemicals indiscriminately in their crops.

The Mindu microbasin, the main tributary of the São Raimundo basin drains part of the urban waters of the city of Manaus-AM to one of the largest rivers in the world, the Rio Negro. The Mindu stream, commonly called in the region by igarapé by virtue of its narrow channel, presents itself under a great threat of degradation of its waters. The great pollution and contamination of the water is characterized by the contribution of domestic and industrial waste, silting of its bed and release of solid waste on the bed of the stream. The following parameters were analyzed: pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, and total dissolved solids, with the aid of a multiparameter probe at 11 points, to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of the water quality of the Mindu microbasin. of the main channel of the Mindu stream. Sulphide, ammoniacal nitrogen, and total phosphate analyzes were performed in the laboratory. The results showed that the stream has a slightly acidic pH at the point near the springs and it is sensible alkaline in the other stretches, dissolved oxygen content below that stipulated for the legislation, characterization of dissolved and suspended solids that contribute to high concentrations of electrical conductivity, turbidity, and total dissolved solids. The analyzed sections were still influenced by the contribution of domestic and industrial effluents with the characterization of sulfides, phosphorus in the form of phosphates and nitrogen in the form of ammoniacal nitrogen dissolved in the waters.

Water is indispensable in the metabolism of cities, but the accelerated peripheral expansion of cities accentuates problems of water access, distribution and quality, which, in turn, are often used by actors with socio-political power that weaken the hydrosocial cycle. The present study analyzed access to water through the hydrosocial cycle in the northern periphery of the city of Morelia, Mexico, specifically in the settelement of La Aldea. The study´s objective was met with field trips, observations, interviews and surveys. Results indicate stress in the hydrosocial cycle wherein there is a dissimilar flow subordinated by political movements and infrastructure development groups. Additionally, population involvement decreased, bottled water and water trucks purchases increased, all while the intervention of the authorities was limited and permissible.
