Thurow Robert C. M gg' (Chair of Committee) (Member) James E. Christiansen Douglas Loh Robert E. Whitsun (Head of Department) December 1997 Major Subject: Rangeland Ecology and Management ABSTRACT Soil Erosion and Conservation as Affected by Land Use and Land Tenure, El Pital Watershed, Nicaragua. (December 1997) Matilde de los Angeles Somarriba-Chang, B.S. , National Agrarian University, Nicaragua Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Thomas L. Thurow Erosion by water is a serious problem threatening the sustainability of steep land agricultural production throughout the tropics. The El Pital watershed is typical of the many regions within Nicaragua where the effects of erosion are increasingly evident. Analysis of aerial photographs taken in 1968 and 1987, and comparing them with conditions in 1996, indicates that erosion has increased throughout this period and is substantially above the expected geologic "natural" erosion rate for the area. This trend is associated with increased fragmentation of farms associated with the agrarian reform activities of the 1980's, during which many of the large land-holdings were confiscated and redistributed to many peasant families.

    Global Coalition EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK 2020 GCPEA to Protect Education from Attack COUNTRY PROFILES NICARAGUA A government crackdown on protests in 2018 and 2019 resulted in at least 45 reported attacks on education in Nicaragua. Police used excessive and lethal force on university campuses and during protests, injuring hundreds of students. Arbitrary arrests and convictions of students also occurred during this period. Context On April 18, 2018, university students and pensioners led peaceful demonstrations in Managua and León, Nicaragua, in response to unpopular social security reforms.1280 Police and pro-government armed groups (often referred to as “turbas sandinistas”)1281 responded violently, in some cases using lethal force, to the peaceful protests that erupted across the country and continued for nearly six months.1282 Beginning on May 7, 2018, students and young people occupied the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua), which became a site of attacks on higher education students, personnel, and infrastructure during protests.1283 Police and pro-government armed groups also attacked several other universities during the reporting period, including the National Agrarian University (UNA) and the Central American University (UCA).1284 Protesters often used roadblocks and barricades as a protest tool; some protesters reportedly used violence against police, although the majority of protesters remained peaceful.1285 Violent repression of protests by police and armed pro-government groups resulted in 328 deaths,

The aim in this study was to analyse the 27 epidemiological behaviour of Leptospira spp., from domestic animals around the sites 28 of human leptospirosis cases in Nicaragua, from 2007 through 2013. We report the 29 results of a cross-sectional epidemiological study with a non-probability sampling of 30 blood (n=3050) and urine (n=299) from Domestic Animals (DA) around the sites of 31 human leptospirosis cases in Nicaragua. We analysed data obtained through 32 Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT), in-vitro culture, real time PCR and sequencing 33 of lfb1 locus.
