Frischbutter GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany Received: July 10, 2001; accepted: March 15, 2002 RESUMEN Como resultado de varias interpretaciones de datos de sensores remotos combinados con datos sismológicos del terremoto de 1972, se llega a la conclusión que la zona de fallas del lago de Managua es una estructura compuesta de importancia regional con dirección norte-sur. El borde este de la zona de fallas del lago de Managua está formado por estructuras de menor orden en que la importancia de movimiento lateral se disminuye hacia el este favoreciendo estructuras de fallamiento normal. Las fallas N-S se presentan en su mayoría como fallas oblicuas con componentes dextrales de movimiento lateral. En combinación con fallas marginales en dirección NW de la depresión de Managua, resulta un régimen de transpresión de la zona del lago de Managua. Movimientos sinistrales en estructuras con rumbos de NNE a NE fueron reproducidos claramente en datos sismológicos del terremoto de 1972 (extensión en substructuras: por ejemplo el graben de Managua, el graben del Aeropuerto). Planos con rumbo N, NW y NE se consideran activados recientemente dentro de la región de interés. Del punto de vista de la amenaza sísmica hay que tomar en cuenta las relaciones cinemáticas. Por su régimen extensional los planos con rumbo NE tienen importancia especial. En los planos bajo compresión en dirección NW son possibles mayores concentraciones de estrés. Se postula que en el evento de 1972 se activó solamente la parte oeste del graben de Managua. Como consecuencia de esta reactivación - además de otras deducciones - aumentó posiblemente la concentración del estrés a lo largo de la parte este del graben. PALABRAS CLAVE: Percepción remota, neotectónica, sismología, graben de Managua, Nicaragua. ABSTRACT From remote sensing interpretations, combined with seismological data of the 1972 earthquake, the Managua Fault Zone is seen as a N-S - trending, composite structure of regional importance. The eastern margin of the Managua Fault Zone is formed by lower-order, N-S - trending graben structures such as the Managua graben or the Airport graben, which are bordered by oblique faults. The intensity of lateral movements on these N-S trending faults seems to decrease to the east as normal faulting increases. Lateral components on N-S trending faults are mainly dextral in recent times. In combination with the NW - trending marginal faults of the Nicaragua depression this represents a transpressional regime for the Managua Fault Zone. Components of left lateral movements on NNE- to NE - trending structures are clearly indicated from seismological data for the 1972 Managua earthquake (extension within substructures like the Managua graben, Airport graben). N-, NW- and NE - trending planes should be regarded as recently active in the region. These kinematic relations must be taken into account for seismic hazard assessment: NE - trending planes are emphasized because of their extensional regime. It is postulated that during the 1972 event only the western part of the Managua graben was activated. Higher recent stress concentration along the eastern margin of the graben may be a consequence, among others. KEY WORDS: Remote sensing, neotectonic, seismology, Managua graben, Nicaragua.

Although the country has historically always been characterised by high levels of socio-economic inequality – with the notable exception of the Sandinista revolutionary period (1979-90), when disparities declined markedly – the past decade in particular has seen the development of new processes of exclusion and differentiation, especially in urban areas. In many ways, these are part of a broader regional trend; as several recent studies have noted, many other Latin American cities are undergoing similar mutations.

  • Education Equity in Central America
    WORKING PAPER Educational Equity in Central America: A pending issue for the public agenda Introduction Diverse research has shown that there is a significant relationship between education and both family income and national economic development. In this regard, nations should use their school systems not only as a tool to promote economic development but also to redistribute wealth and secure the welfare of the most vulnerable citizens. However, sometimes the complete opposite occurs and nations invest heavier in the education of the most privileged sectors of society, reinforcing social inequality and excluding large sectors from economic development. The objective of this document is to discuss and quantify educational inequalities in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua as well as to provide information for dialogue on public policies that contribute to the effective development of the CA-4 countries. Using the most recent household surveys available, a series of indicators have been analyzed in order to better understand the educational inequalities and disparities that exist in each of these countries. In addition, inequalities related to access, retention, and investment are also highlighted. The issue of educational quality has not been addressed at this time due to the fact that only Honduras has participated in regional studies to measure student learning. The Second Regional Comparative and Evaluative Study (SERCE) is scheduled to be conducted this year. As a result, this issue may be included in future investigations. This study is divided into four sections. First, access to education is evaluated in regards to location, gender, and socioeconomic status. Second, inequality in education distribution is quantified and retention rates are estimated, highlighting the differences between the highest and lowest income quintiles as well as the repetition and desertion rates per location, gender, and socioeconomic status.

  • CENTRAL AMERICA and CARIBBEAN Price Bulletin March
    CENTRAL AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN Price Bulletin March 2021 The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) monitors trends in staple food prices in countries vulnerable to food insecurity. For each FEWS NET country and region, the Price Bulletin provides a set of charts showing monthly prices in the current marketing year in selected urban centers and allowing users to compare current trends with both five-year average prices, indicative of seasonal trends, and prices in the previous year. The main staple foods produced and consumed throughout most of Central America and the Caribbean are maize, rice, and beans; the latter constituting a key source of protein for poor households. In Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua white maize, mostly consumed in the form of tortillas, and red or black beans are preferred, while in Costa Rica and Panama rice dominates in production and consumption. In Haiti, the primary staples are rice, black beans, and maize. In Central America, there are typically two main growing seasons: the Primera (April-September) during which maize is primarily produced, and the Postrera (August-December) during which bean production dominates. The Apante season (November-March) is a third growing season during which beans are produced in south-central Nicaragua, northern Guatemala, and northern Honduras. In Haiti, there are several growing seasons. Maize is produced during the Primavera season (April-September). Black beans are produced over two seasons in Haiti’s humid and mountainous areas. The first season spans from March to May and the second from July to October. Beans are also produced in the country’s irrigated and humid mountainous areas during a third, fall season from December to January.

    In conjunction with: Trends in new technology and design 6th December 2016 Havana - Cuba GPD CUBA An exciting place to invite and network with your South and North American customers Tuesday 6th December 2016 Meliá Cohiba Hotel GOLD SPONSORS: MEDIA PARTNERS: THE CONFERENCE The Glass Performance Days (GPD) is an independent forum dedicated to the development of the global glass industry through education. This is achieved by holding conferences in different countries. Currently the main conferences take place every two years in Finland (where GPD also holds workshops and a glass exhibition). In 2016, GPD will land in the Caribbean Region with GPD CUBA, in conjunction with CUBA GLASS, which will be held on the 6th and 7th December in Havana. Over the years, GPD has organized countless smaller local events, to share the latest knowledge with local specialists who cannot attend the main GPD event in Finland. These events are a great way to inform and educate industry leaders and designers alike as to what the most recent glass technology can offer. These events are also a great way for professionals from around the world to meet and discuss business with local specialists. Following the end of the embargo, Cuba is starting to open up to modernization and development in all sec- tors. Glass is certain to be at the forefront of Cuba’s development and with this a great deal can be done to modernize and recreate this beautiful country. CUBA GLASS is the fi rst international event that not only allows you to help renew, revolutionize and invest in the island but also gives you the opportunity of enjoying this experience with your customers from North and South America.

  • Nicaragua: Revolution and Restoration
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS NOVEMBER 2018 LATIN AMERICA NICARAGUA: REVOLUTION AND RESTORATION RICHARD E. FEINBERG NICARAGUA: REVOLUTION AND RESTORATION RICHARD E. FEINBERG EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since independence, Nicaragua has suffered periodic internecine warfare, deep distrust between contending factions dominated by powerful caudillos (strongmen), and interventions by foreign powers. While the United States was frequently a party to these conflicts, local Nicaraguan actors often outmaneuvered U.S. diplomats. At the end of the Cold War, internationally supervised elections yielded an interlude of relatively liberal democracy and alternation of power (1990-2006). To the consternation of the United States, Sandinista Party leader Daniel Ortega regained the presidency in 2007, and orchestrated a successful strategy of coalition-building with the organized private sector and the Catholic Church. Supported by the international financial institutions and the Venezuelan Chavista government, Nicaragua achieved strong economic performance with moderately inclusive growth. President Ortega used those economic resources to gradually capture or suppress—one by one—many of the nation’s political institutions, eroding institutional checks and balances. Ortega’s strategy of co-opting all centers of power extended to the military and national police. The restoration of traditional caudillo politics and the fusion of family-state-party-security forces were all too reminiscent of the Somoza family dynasty (1934-1979). Frustrated by Ortega’s narrowing of democratic
