RECONSTRUCTING the CHOLERA EPIDEMIC in a TIME of EL NIÑO and VULNERABILITY in PIURA, PERU in the EARLY 1990S CHOLERA IN A TIME OF EL NIÑO AND VULNERABILITY IN PIURA, PERU: A CLIMATE AFFAIRS APPROACH By Iván J. Ramírez A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Geography 2012 ABSTRACT CHOLERA IN A TIME OF EL NIÑO AND VULNERABILITY IN PIURA, PERU: A CLIMATE AFFAIRS APPROACH By Iván J. Ramírez The goal of my dissertation research is to reconstruct the temporal and spatial associations among El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), social vulnerability and cholera incidence in Piura, Peru from 1991 to 2001 in order to better understand El Niño’s impact on the cholera epidemic in Peru during the 1990s. Piura is important to study because it was one of the first places to report cholera in Peru. It also had one of the highest incidence rates in the country, and historically, the region is known for El Niño. My overarching research questions are: (1) What was the impact of ENSO on cholera incidence in Piura; and (2) How did social vulnerability influence this relationship? My research hypotheses are: (a) There was a temporal association between ENSO, climate and cholera cases in Piura in the 1990s. Furthermore, these associations were stronger after 1992 compared to the onset of the epidemic in 1991; and (b) The spatial variability of the ENSO-climate-cholera associations in Piura in 1997-98 will be explained by the spatial distribution of social vulnerability. Moreover, the level of social vulnerability within districts in Piura will either antagonize or buffer the effects of ENSO and climate on cholera incidence. I address my research questions and hypotheses using a climate affairs approach that is informed by disease ecology and vulnerability theories from the geographic subfields of medical and human-environment geography. Climate affairs is an integrating concept in the earth and social sciences used to understand the interrelationships among climate, environment and society worldwide. Using climate affairs, I developed a conceptual framework that: 1) examines cholera transmission within a broader conception of ENSO; 2) links ENSO-cholera associations to social vulnerability; and 3) considers ENSO-cholera interactions at multiple scales. The key findings of this research suggest that cholera’s temporal association with ENSO was transient throughout the 1990s; the strongest association was found during the 1997-98 El Niño. I also found that cholera transmission occurred through the interactions of global and local sea surface temperatures with rainfall. Furthermore, I demonstrated that the spatial distribution of social vulnerability can in part explain the associations between global and local climate and cholera during the 1997-98 El Niño. However, these associations varied by time lag, district and variable. It also appears that districts on the west coast of the subregion of Piura were the most vulnerable. Lastly, important to the understanding of these findings is that interpretation of ENSO and its association with cholera will highly depend on the Niño definition and region chosen for analysis. This research contributes to future climate-informed initiatives that enhance societal capacities, while focusing on population health and the monitoring of populations during future climate events in Piura, Peru and the Latin American region.

All rights reserved. Abstract The paradigm of research universities linked to the emergence of university rankings has unified and universalized the criteria relating to the quality of higher education. This situation has led to multiple responses across global society, which has started rating the quality of higher education systems through these rankings, supported by a series of indicators aligned to the characteristics of research universities. Given that the quality of a country’s higher education is one of the fundamental pillars of its development, many countries have started to take government action in this respect. In the case of Peru, the response has been quick, with law 30220 being approved in 2014. It aims to regulate the quality of higher education through a series of specific conditions.

  • Water Footprint Assessment of Bananas Produced by Small Banana Farmers in Peru and Ecuador
    Water footprint assessment of bananas produced by small banana farmers in Peru and Ecuador L. Clercx1, E. Zarate Torres2 and J.D. Kuiper3 1Technical Assistance for Sustainable Trade & Environment (TASTE Foundation), Koopliedenweg 10, 2991 LN Barendrecht, The Netherlands; 2Good Stuff International CH, Blankweg 16, 3072 Ostermundigen, Bern, Switzerland; 3Good Stuff International B.V., PO Box 1931, 5200 BX, s’-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. Abstract In 2013, Good Stuff International (GSI) carried out a Water Footprint Assessment for the banana importer Agrofair and its foundation TASTE (Technical Assistance for Sustainable Trade & Environment) of banana production by small farmers in Peru and Ecuador, using the methodology of the Water Footprint Network (WFN). The objective was to investigate if the Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) can help define strategies to increase the sustainability of the water consumption of banana production and processing of smallholder banana producers in Peru and Ecuador. The average water footprint was 576 m3 t-1 in Ecuador and 599 m3 t-1 for Peru. This corresponds respectively to 11.0 and 11.4 m3 per standard 18.14 kg banana box. In both samples, approximately 1% of the blue water footprint corresponds to the washing, processing and packaging stage. The blue water footprint was 34 and 94% of the total, respectively for Ecuador and Peru. This shows a strong dependency on irrigation in Peru. The sustainability of the water footprint is questionable in both countries but especially in Peru. Paradoxically, the predominant irrigation practices in Peru imply a waste of water in a context of severe water scarcity. The key water footprint reduction strategy proposed was better and more frequent dosing of irrigation water.

On March 8, the Jurado Nacional Electoral (JNE) excluded César Acuña, presidential candidate for the Alianza Para el Progreso (APP), and Julio Guzmán, candidate for the Todos por el Perú party (TPP). The decision to remove Acuña was unanimous, based on his violation of the Ley de Organizaciones Políticas, (the law regulating political organizations) when he gave 10,000 soles (US $3,003) to merchants in the city of Chosica, Lima province, and 5,000 soles (US$1,501) to a youth with disabilities during a campaign event in the northwestern department of Piura.

    1ovitatesMhimeuicanJiuseum PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 2 028 MAY 8, 196I Birds of the Western Slope of the Andes of Peru1 BY MARIA KOEPCKE2 INTRODUCTION During the ecological and zoogeographical studies that I undertook with my husband, H.-W. Koepcke, in the course of nine years on the western side ofthe Peruvian Andes, I observed that a considerable num- ber of birds have a more extensive distribution than had been known heretofore. It had not been perceived that several life zones ofnorthwest- ern Peru and western Ecuador, with their special biotopes, extend along the western slope of the Andes to middle Peru and beyond. The most interesting findings seem to be that the humid division of the temperate zone described by Chapman (1926) for Ecuador and northwestern Peru extends at least to middle Peru, split into a chain of "insular woods" (M. Koepcke, 1954, 1957, 1958; H.-W. Koepcke, 1958, and MS), and, moreover, the fact that we find in middle Peru, in the lower part of the western Andean slope, the southernmost patches of forest composed of trees which shed their leaves during the dry season. I have included a few observations on birds of the ocean shores and on migratory birds. I found further novelties in relation to distribution during a revision of Peruvian birds in the American Museum of Natural History in New 'Taxonomical and faunal bases for the ecological-zoogeographical studies of H.-W. and M. Koepcke, No. 27, with support from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Bad Godes- berg, Germany.
