Analysis of productive efficiency of alfalfa cultivation by logistic regression of categorical data in the Irrigation District 05-Delicias, Chihuahua, Mexico

SUMMARY

Introduction: The cultivation of alfalfa is the most used legume for feeding cattle worldwide due to its high nutritional value, mainly of protein, the District of Irrigation 05-Delicias is one of the most important producers of this crop in Mexico. The objective of this research was to determine the impacts of the different forms of use of factors of production on the productive efficiency, with the purpose of generating useful information for producers and authorities for decision makingMethod: In this study, 4 predictors, land tenure, property ownership, specialized machinery and technical irrigation were selected in dichotomous form, and a variable response, productive efficiency in alfalfa cultivation was used to determine the best fit of the model, using the method of variables selecting backward step, they were analyzed under the logistic regression model by CATMOD of the SAS 9.4 package using contrasts to determine effects of the variables on significant interactions.Results: Significant differences were found in the three interaction: property-machinery-technical irrigation, as well as individually in the individual variables specialized machinery and technical irrigation. By contrasting were determines the different effects of the variables within the triple interaction, standing out the potential impact of the technical irrigation-machinery combined, when the property is counted with a odds rate of 16, followed by the effect of the machinery when the producers have the property with a odds rate of 13.56 and the effect of technical irrigation, when likewise the producers are owners of their land too with a rate of odds of 8.0.Discussion or Conclusion: The efficiency of alfalfa cultivation from the productive point of view showed that it is significantly impacted by the triple interaction of the variables property-machinery-technical irrigation presenting the maximum effects when it has the property of the farm inside of that triple interaction by the combined effect of technical irrigation-machinery, likewise the technical-irrigated machinery-irrigation interaction shows significance, but its impact is less when the property is not owned.

Influencia de factores objetivos y subjetivos en la disciplina Morfofisiología de la Carrera de Estomatología / Influence of the objective and subjective factors in Morphology-physiology discipline in Dentistry StudiesInfluencia de factores objetivos y subjetivos en la disciplina Morfofisiología de la Carrera de Estomatología / Influence of the objective and subjective factors in Morphology-physiology discipline in Dentistry StudiesIntroducción: la disciplina curricular de Morfofisiología se encuentra bajo la incidencia de los factores objetivos y subjetivos que limitan la estructuración y perfeccionamiento de los nuevos procesos educativos. Objetivo: valorar los factores objetivos y subjetivos que influyen en la dirección del proceso enseñanza aprendizaje de la disciplina Morfofisiología, limitando su estructuración y perfeccionamiento en la Carrera de Estomatología. Método: se realizó un estudio, en la disciplina Morfofisiología, de la Carrera de Estomatología de la provincia de Pinar del Río, en el período comprendido de septiembre de 2007 a enero de 2009. La muestra estuvo constituida por 142 estudiantes, de ellos, 131 de primer año y 101 de segundo. El método empleado fue la revisión y análisis de los documentos. Los datos obtenidos se procesaron utilizando los métodos y procedimientos que brinda la estadística descriptiva. Resultados: se encontraron más bajos niveles de rendimiento académico en la sede central con respecto a las sedes municipales, siendo las asignaturas Morfofisiología II y V las de más bajos resultados. Escasa participación de estudiantes en los exámenes de premio y menor calidad de los mismos en las sedes municipales. Conclusiones: que los resultados académicos en la disciplina Morfofisiología en la provincia de Pinar del Río, indican que el cambio educativo teniendo en cuenta los actuales contextos universitarios, implica necesariamente vincular a los estudiantes a los métodos productivos de enseñanza y a los servicios en la búsqueda de la excelencia educativa.Palabras clave: Rendimiento académico, resultados de promoción, municipalización.ABSTRACTIntroduction: the curricular discipline of Morphology-physiology is under the influence of objective and subjective factors which limit the structuring and improvement of the new educational process. Objective: to assess the objective and subjective factors that influence on the direction of the teaching-learning process of Morphology-physiology which limits its structuring and improvement in Dentistry Studies in Pinar del Rio province. Method: a study was conducted in Morphology-physiology discipline in Dentistry Studies, Pinar del Rio from September 2007 to January 2009. The sample was comprised of 142 students, out of them, 131 from 1st academic year and 101 from 2nd academic year. The methods used were the literature revision and documentary analysis. The data collected were processed using methods and procedures of the descriptive statistics. Results: the lowest levels of academic achievements were found in the central venue in Morphology-physiology (ii and iv) discipline, as well as the poor participation of the students in award-examinations and a low quality of the examinations applied in the municipal venues.Conclusions: the academic results of Morphology-physiology discipline in Pinar del Rio province show that the educational change implies a necessary link of the students with more productive teaching methods and health services considering the current university contexts in order to achieve the excellence in the teaching-learning process.Key words: Academic achievements, educational results, municipal venues
