Kitoks požiūris į eilinį anglų skaitytoją: įvadas į auditorijų istoriją

[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]

As a genre, the working-class autobiography originates around 1800 – here too the reading revolution marked a watershad, when common readers began to write about themselves. And they are often wonderfully forthcoming about their reading experiences – not only what they read, but how they comprehended and reacted to their reading. These sources open up a new scholarly frontier. They will make possible a third generation of reading history – a historyof audiences, which would reverse the usual perspective of intellectual historiography. It would first define a mass audience, then determine its cultural diet, and ultimately measure the collective response of that audience not only to particular works of literature, but also to education, religion, art, and any other cultural activity. Whereas reception histories have generally traced the responses of professional intellectuals (literary and social critics, academics, clergymen),audience histories would focus on the common reader – defined as any reader who did not read books for a living. The British working-class reader happens to be my subject, but this essay offers general encouragement and advice for the study of common readers in all classes and all nations. It illustrates some of the questions a history of audiences could tackle, and points out the methodological problems it may involve.
Transformation of Digital Legal Deposit in Terms of Legislation and Public Access

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

The article treats the development of commercial e-book publishing in Estonia from the publishers’ perspective. The data is collected by surveys and interviews carried out among publishers in 2016. The results reveal that the main hindrances like the limited size of the Estonian-language e-book market, the readers’ preference for printed books as well as nonprofitability of e-books had remained the same compared to the study by Helen Reiser from 2011. The availability and affordability of different reading devices, on the contrary, had ceased to be a barrier to e-book production according to the publishers’ perceptions. The publishers value their first experiences with e-books and wish to secure their image ase-book publishers, although they do not predict a rapid increase in the production. Perceptions of the e-book market drivers and barriers of the Estonian publishers are similar to the attitudes of publishers from other small-language markets like Sweden, Lithuania and Croatia.
“Abajo Don Simón y nada con los reinosos”. Sobre el liberalismo separatista venezolano, 1821-1830
Authors: Straka Tomás
Published: June 2018

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo revisar la separación de Venezuela de la Gran Colombia desde una perspectiva distinta a la tradicional, que suele centrarla en la rivalidad entre grandes caudillos o en la “traición” de la oligarquía caraqueña a Simón Bolívar. Basándonos en la tesis de que hubo un liberalismo separatista venezolano, la idea es demostrar la presencia de fenómenos más amplios, como los del nacimiento de una idea de nación en ciertos sectores que se esforzaron por reinstituir la llamada Antigua Venezuela, disuelta en la Gran Colombia en varios departamentos. Esta especie de nacionalismo, o protonacionalismo liberal, diseñó en los años grancolombianos el Estado venezolano que emerge en 1830.
Andrea Wulf. La invención de la naturaleza: El mundo nuevo de Alexander von Humboldt.
Authors: Otálvaro Andrés
Published: June 2018

La escritora Andrea Wulf ofrece una nueva, bien nutrida y, sin embargo, no poco problemática biografía de Alexander von Humboldt.2 La obra ha recibido incontables aclamaciones por parte de la crítica y los medios internacionales, así como importantes premios, incluyendo el mismo Science Book Price que la Royal Society le otorgó como obra ganadora en el 2016. Ello involucra no solo un destacado reconocimiento científico, sino también la no deleznable suma de £25.000 libras esterlinas. Lo que tal vez han pasado por alto los catalizadores de este tsunami laudatorio son las imprecisiones historiográficas del libro en lo que respecta a la relación de Humboldt con Simón Bolívar, tema al cual el libro dedica no menos de 40 páginas. Este aporte generoso al “mito bolivariano” hace un llamado urgente a una revisión histórica seria y responsable, que se relaciona también, inevitablemente, con las revisiones genealógicas de la República de Colombia.
Carlos Camacho Arango. El conflicto de Leticia (1932-1933) y los ejércitos de Perú y Colombia.
Authors: Ortiz Sotelo Jorge
Published: June 2018

Perú y Colombia se han enfrentado militarmente en tres oportunidades: en 1828-1829, en 1911 y en 1932-1933. La historiografía ha abordado de muy diversas maneras cada uno de estos conflictos, pero, como suele suceder con este tipo de temas, la deseable objetividad no siempre ha estado presente. Esta es una de las cosas que me llamó la atención del trabajo de Carlos Camacho, pues se acerca a ese ideal de objetividad. Otra fue el curioso ordenamiento de sus trece capítulos, donde alterna los acontecimientos del conflicto con un bien articulado análisis de las relaciones civiles y militares en ambos países, en una suerte de ensayo histórico y sociológico sobre sus ejércitos. Este orden me lleva a pensar que es posible leer la obra de varias maneras y, más aún, que estamos ante dos libros, los cuales se complementan, pero que no necesariamente deben ir en un mismo volumen. Sea como sea, el resultado es incitador. Las fuentes documentales consultadas por Camacho son exhaustivas, comprende archivos colombianos, peruanos, británicos, norteamericanos y franceses, aunque, como bien señala, no le fue posible acceder a la documentación militar de su país. Podría haberle sido valioso revisar la documentación del Archivo Histórico de Marina, en Lima, y consultar los trabajos de Daniel Masterson,11 de Fernando Romero12 y de Alberto Fernández Prada,13 así como la prensa brasileña, buena parte de la cual se encuentra disponible en la Biblioteca Nacional Digital de Brasil.
Raul Zelik. Paramilitarismo. Violencia y Transformación Social, Política y Económica en Colombia.
Authors: Sánchez Meertens Ariel
Published: June 2018

Este libro es importante, sugestivo y necesario. Su apuesta por ofrecer un panorama comprehensivo del paramilitarismo, articulado a su vez con diferentes teorías de la guerra y del Estado, es sin duda laudable. Su aproximación al fenómeno desde la perspectiva de lo político, lo económico y social resulta poderosa. Justamente su sexto capítulo, donde aborda las dinámicas sociosimbólicas del accionar paramilitar, es uno de los más interesantes. En él se destaca cómo los excesos del paramilitarismo no corresponden a un comportamiento irracional, sino que, por el contrario, cumplen una función táctica y comunicativa fundamental. El uso de su violencia desbordada hace parte de una estrategia de destrucción del tejido social para poder imponer nuevos vínculos y estructuras, produciendo en su accionar lo que el autor denomina “campos lingüísticos indecibles”. Estos campos se nutren del temor, la sospecha o el rumor que se desprenden del evento terrorífico, conquistando y permeando mediante el horror tanto el pasado como el futuro, lo real como lo imaginario. El desasosiego provocado genera así una suerte de doble vínculo, en el sentido conferido por Gregory Bateson, a través del cual la población victimizada se ve obligada en algunos casos a aliarse con sus agresores para sobrevivir. Solo quedó pendiente una discusión sobre los espacios y las estrategias pedagógicas del paramilitarismo, en particular sus escuelas políticas y de la tortura. Su inclusión en el debate es clave, puesto que en ellas buscaron su reproducción social y el establecimiento de una tecnología de control sobre las mentes, los cuerpos y las vidas de los sujetos participantes: precisamente esa biopolítica de la guerra que el autor mencionaría más adelante.

Authors: Araújo Matheus Henrique de Abreu , Júnior Jairo Teixeira , Venâncio Patrícia Espíndola Mota , Tolentino Grassyara Pinho , Lima William Alves , Soares Viviane , Oliveira-Silva Iransé
Published: June 2018

Background: Using preferred music during the exercise series was a differentiated way to increase muscle performance and fatigue slowdown, increasing the number of repetitions in these exercises. Despite of some studies present the effects of music, there is still a little music influence in strength training. Objectives: Verify the music effect on the strength performance in young adults, and the relation with the preferences of muscular grouping according to gender. Methods: a cross-sectional, controlled and crossover study was carried out with 20 physically active young adult participants (10 men). After previous laboratory evaluations, they underwent two exercise sessions, one experimental, where the participant performed 3 maximum series of exercises Barbell Curl and Leg Extensor seat listening to songs of their own choosing and another control session without music, adopting the series with greater repetition in each exercise for analysis. A minimum interval of 48 hours was adopted between each session. The protocol order (i.e. with music or without music) was made by the raffle. In the sessions, participants were asked to perform the maximum number of repetitions at 80% of the load determined in the laboratory. Results: The use of their preferred music significantly increased the number of repetitions in the two exercises, however, the preferences for muscular clusters characterized by the genders proved to be a determining variable. Conclusion: With the increasing of repetitions it was possible to observe an ergogenic resource to increase the performance in strength training, thus, a differentiated performance pattern was found between men and women in arm exercises when they use music.

Background: Hypophosphatemia after liver resection is a frequent issue, only a small subset of patient requires correction. This group of patients associated with morbidity was evaluated.Methods: Liver resections were retrospectively analysed between Jan 2015 and March 2018. We evaluated the association of hypophosphatemia (defined as serum phosphate <2mg/dl) and the occurrence of initial liver insufficiency (ILI) [ Elevation of total bilirubin above 2mg/dl above the preoperative values and INR more than 1.7].  Any association of hypophosphatemia with post-operative major morbidity (Clavien Dind0 grade 3 and 4 complications) was also studied.Results: A total of 86 patients were analysed during the study period, 28 patients were excluded as per the exclusion criteria and 58 patients were included in the study. Majority of the patients in our study populations were above 60yrs of age with male preponderance. Hepatocellular carcinoma was the frequent indication for surgery. Significant hypophosphatemia was seen in 15 patients reaching nadir values on Post-operative day 3. Clavien Dindo Grade- 3,4 complications was seen in 7 patients and 8 patients had Initial liver insufficiency.Conclusions: This study tried to evaluate only the subset of patients who had significant hypophosphatemia who required replacement with initial liver insufficiency and morbidity. We have found association of hypophosphatemia with initial liver insufficiency and morbidity. Hence, authors advocate early identification and correction to avoid possible complications.
Educação sem Distâncias: Novas Formas de Mediação da Aprendizagem: Um Estudo na Visão Dos Cursistas Rede E-Tec UFRN

Published: June 2018

A educação teve que incorporar novas formas de comunicação e interação devido à globalização, que tornou os espaços mais homogêneos e competitivos, obrigando a lidar com a inovação de conteúdos e de formas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a rede de ensino e-Tec Brasil com base nas vivências práticas dos alunos da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte a partir da metodologia proposta por Tori (2002; 2003; 2010; 2017), em que se busca evidenciar a existência ou não da distância no ensino-aprendizagem, considerando os três tipos de distância: espacial, temporal e transacional. Este estudo se caracteriza como descritivo-exploratório quanto aos seus objetivos e, no que se refere ao tratamento do objeto, nomeia-se quantitativo. Os resultados evidenciam que a distância não é um limitador no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos. Entende-se que não há barreiras espaciais para o conhecimento desses alunos, o que, por sua vez, colabora para a existência de interação entre os professores e os materiais. Ainda há que considerar que, embora tenham sido detectados usos mecânicos de avaliação, isso não se reflete na sensação de proximidade entre aluno-professor e material.Palavras-chave: Educação, Comunicação, Instrumentos tecnológicos, Rede e-Tec Brasil.Education without Distance: New Ways of Mediation of Learning: a Study in the View of E-Tec UFRN Network StudentsAbstractEducation had to incorporate new ways of communication and interaction,due to globalization, which has made spaces more homogeneous and competitive, in order to deal with the content and forms innovation.

This study is characterized as descriptive-exploratory regarding its objectives, and also, regarding the treatment of the subject, it can be characterized as quantitative. The results have shown that distance is not a limiting factor to the teaching-learning process. It is understood that there are no space barriers to the knowledge, which corroborates to the existence of synergy/interaction between teachers and materials.

Organizational Factors as Predictors of Knowledge Management Practices in Federal University Libraries in Nigeria
Authors: Ugwu Cyprian Ifeanyi
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Objective – University libraries in Nigeria are facing challenges arising from poor funding, increasing user demands, and a competitive information environment. Knowledge management has been accepted by information professionals as a viable management tool, but issues surrounding its application require empirical investigation. The aim of this study is to determine the organizational factors that are correlates and predictors of knowledge management practices in federal university libraries in Nigeria.

Methods – The study was based on a correlational research design. Twenty heads of university libraries in Nigeria responded to a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. The questionnaire was validated by experts and its internal reliability was 0.78 obtained through Cronbach’s alpha procedures. The data collected were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, One-Way ANOVA, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and regression analysis.

Results – The study found that management support and collaboration were the most significant predictors of knowledge management practices in federal university libraries in Nigeria.  Even though human resources policy and rewards systems had positive correlations with knowledge management practices, their correlation coefficients were not significant.

Conclusion – The success of knowledge management in university libraries in Nigeria depends on some contextual factors such as the support given by the management staff and the extent of collaboration among staff.
Older Adults’ Internet Use Is Varied, Suggesting the Need for Targeted Rather Than Broadly Focused Outreach
Authors: Glusker Ann
Published: June 2018

A Review of:

van Boekel, L.C., Peek, S. T., & Luijkx, K.G. (2017). Diversity in older adults’ use of the Internet: Identifying subgroups through latent class analysis. Journal of Medical Internet Research, 19(5:e180), 1-10. doi: 10.2196/jmir.6853

Abstract

Objective – To determine the amount and types of variation in Internet use among older adults, and to test its relationship to social and health factors.

Design – Representative longitudinal survey panel of households

Setting – The Netherlands

Subjects – A panel with 1,418 members who were over 65 years of age had answered the survey questionnaire that included Internet use questions, and who reported access to and use of the Internet.

Methods – Using information about the Internet activities the respondents reported, the authors conducted latent class analysis and extracted a best-fitting model including four clusters of respondent Internet use types.  The four groups were analyzed using descriptive statistics and compared using ANOVA and chi-square tests.  Analysis and comparisons were conducted both between groups, and on the relationship of the groups with a range of social and health variables.

Main Results – The four clusters identified included: 1) practical users using the Internet for practical purposes such as financial transactions; 2) social users using the Internet for activities such as social media and gaming; 3) minimizers, who spent the least time on the Internet and were the oldest group; and 4) maximizers, who used the Internet for the widest range of purposes, for the most time, and who were the youngest group.  Once the clusters were delineated, social and health factors were examined (specifically social and emotional loneliness, psychological well-being, and two activities of daily living (ADL) measures).  There were significant differences between groups, but the effect sizes were small.  Practical users had higher psychological well-being, whereas minimizers had the lowest scores related to ADLs and overall health (however, they were also the oldest group).

Conclusions – The establishment of four clusters of Internet use types demonstrates that older adults are not homogeneous in their Internet practices.  However, there were no marked findings showing differences between the clusters in social and health-related variables (the minimizers reported lower health status, but they were also the oldest group).  Nevertheless, the finding of Internet use heterogeneity is an important one for those who wish to connect with older adults through Internet-based programming.  The different patterns evidenced in each cluster will require differing outreach strategies. It also highlights the need for ongoing longitudinal research, to determine whether those who are currently younger and more technologically savvy will age into similar patterns that these authors found, or whether a new set of older adult Internet use profiles will emerge as younger generations with more Internet experience and affinity become older.

A teoria dos processos de civilização e o controle das emoções
Authors: Brandão Carlos da Fonseca
Published: June 2018

O objetivo desse texto é discutir a teoria dos processos de civilização de Norbert Elias e suas relações com dois aspectos específicos presentes no interior desses processos, o controle das emoções e o autocontrole. Esses aspectos se entrelaçam no pensamento de Elias, na medida em que esse autor entende que o controle das emoções possui duas faces. A primeira face é o fato desse controle das emoções constituir-se num dos resultados visíveis, entre muitos possíveis, do que ele chama de processos de civilização. A segunda face é o fato de que o controle das emoções também será um dos elementos propulsores mais importantes desses mesmos processos de civilização. O autocontrole, por sua vez, só existirá como uma das formas possíveis de controle dos impulsos e das paixões, internalizada no indivíduo.

Published: June 2018

A necessidade de registro e das análises das ações individuais técnico-tática foi apresentada pela primeira vez em 1936, onde foi proposto que em cada jogo é necessário fixar a quantidade de passes e outras técnicas do jogo, bem como a efetividade dessas técnicas na evolução das ações de ataque e defesa. O futebol é um jogo interessante, onde durante uma temporada anual, algumas equipes chegam a realizar perto de 80 partidas. A experiência e os resultados de pesquisas científicas tem mostrado, que ao utilizar exercícios específicos, pautados em dados quantitativos dos elementos do jogo de futebol, o treinador de futebol consegue obter uma melhor performance técnica dos jogadores e, consequentemente na preparação global da equipe. Este estudo tem fornecido informações para a elaboração dos treinamentos técnicos da Equipe da Associação Atlética Ponte Preta (AAPP) da Cidade de Campinas - São Paulo. Participam da coleta de dados 8 pessoas, cada qual responsável por coletar dados específicos de cada jogador. São analisados os passes, desarmes, cruzamentos, finalizações, faltas, entre outros. Foram analisados 80 jogos, em 3 campeonatos brasileiros e, 4 paulistas da Equipe da Associação Atlética Ponte Preta. Após a coleta de dados, os mesmos são inseridos em planilhas fornecidas por Software específico e, posteriormente são gerados gráficos que são utilizados em palestras para a comissão técnica e para os jogadores. Os resultados apresentados mostram que quando o percentual de desarmes é pequeno o número de faltas cometidas é grande e vice-versa. Podemos concluir através dos dados coletados que a utilização dos dados quantitativos dos elementos do jogo tem contribuído para o aprimoramento dos aspectos técnicos do jogo, tanto individual quanto coletivamente.

Published: June 2018

In the process of industrial sand-blasting, it is necessary to recycle the pellet. In order to solve the existing problems such as high cost, vulnerability, maintenance difficulty and low recycle efficiency in pneumatic recycling system and mechanical recycling system of pellet, we designed a trapezoidal scraper recycle system of pellet which powered by the cylinder and controlled by PLC to realize the pellet collection. The core component of the system is the scraper mechanical structure which mainly composed of scraper, scraper cylinder, baffle, scraper frame, bearing. This design has the advantages such as simple structure, resistant to breakdown, easy dismantlement. By installing pneumatic valve on the cylinder, the sand scraping speed can be adjusted. The trapezoidal scraper pellet recycling system efficiency is much higher after the contrast experiments between trapezoidal scraper and mechanical screw conveyor of the original equipment.

The conducted research reveals the role of the metallurgical complex of Ukraine in world production and export of steel. Its development indicates inertia and is in a pre-crisis condition. But, at the same time, there are prospects for the development of the enterprises of the metallurgical complex of Ukraine, which appears to be the purpose of the study along with an assessment of the dynamics of the development of the metallurgical complex of Ukraine regarding the internal and external factors of influence on it. Therefore, the object of the research is the current state of development of the metallurgical complex of Ukraine. For this purpose, the main methods of steel processing and fuel consumption for their melting are determined, which, thus, emphasizes the extraordinary energy intensity and cost structure of steel production in Ukraine due to 21.4% of processing in open-hearth furnaces. As a result, on the basis of the comparative analysis, the structure of production was characterized by the degree of steel processing, which indicated the inertia of the development of the industry on the principle of total exploitation of available resources. Through systematic structural analysis, the types of economic activity, the results of the enterprises, which were taken into account in the research of the development of the metallurgical complex of Ukraine and identified their implementation under the imperative incremental destructive factors of the internal and external environment, were identified. With the help of empirical research, in the institutional environment instability of normative legal provision, regulatory restrictions on FDI inflow and investment protectionism in metallurgy were revealed. The critical dependence of the industry on demand in foreign markets based on the export orientation of raw materials is established. For example, it has been determined that at the expense of products below the average technological capacity, almost a quarter of the export basket of Ukraine was formed. It was found that metallurgical production is a zone of interests of powerful industrial and banking private business groups of residents and non-residents. The absence of a state-owned joint-stock company or a holding company in Ukraine with a main type of activity in the investigated industries is emphasized.
High nitrite concentration accelerates nitrite oxidising organism's death
Authors: Liu Bing , Terashima Mitsuharu , Quan Nguyen Truong , Ha Nguyen Thi , Van Chieu Le , Goel Rajeev , Yasui Hidenari
Published: June 2018

High nitrite is a known operation parameter to inhibit the biological oxidation of nitrite to nitrate. The phenomenon is traditionally expressed using a Monod-type equation with non-competitive inhibition, in which the reaction associated with the biomass growth is reduced when high nitrite is present. On the other hand, very high nitrite is also known to slay nitrifiers. To clarify the difference between the growth inhibition and the poisoning, cell counting for living microorganisms in the nitrite oxidiser-enriched activated sludge was conducted in batch conditions under various nitrite concentrations together with measurements of biomass chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and oxygen uptake rate. The experiments demonstrated that these measureable parameters were all decayed when nitrite concentration exceeded 100–500 mgN/L at pH 7.0 in the system, indicating that nitrite poisoning took place. Biomass growth was recognised in lower range of nitrite which was expressed with growth inhibition only. Based on the response, a kinetic model for the biological nitrite oxidation was developed with a modification of IWA ASM1. The model was further utilised to calculate a possibility to wash out nitrite oxidiser in the aeration tank where a part of the return activated sludge was exposed to high nitrite liquor in a side-stream partial nitritation reactor.

Sunset Riders (SR) tal vez puede ser para muchos treintañeros uno de los primeros juegos de 16 bits al estilo “Shoot 'em up” ambientado en el viejo Oeste, y como suele suceder cada vez que vemos por primera vez un juego que se encuentra a la vanguardia de su época respecto a gráficos y jugabilidad, para quienes pudimos experimentarlo, fue una experiencia visual y sonora impresionante, nunca antes vivida en una consola casera en los lejanos inicios de los años 90.

Background/Aim. Acute intoxication by ethanol constitutes a significant part of the acute pathology caused by toxic chemicals, which require medical care in specialized health care institutions. The aim of the study was to determine some principal characteristics of the patients treated after acute ethanol poisoning, such as: participation in the total number of patients treated after acute poisoning by all chemical agents, age, sex, severity of poisoning and capacities for ambulatory or hospital treatment. Methods. A five-year retrospective case study was conducted on 20,891 acute poisoned patients, of which 10,731 were treated after acute ethanol poisoning during the period 2011?2015. All the subjects satisfied the diagnostic criteria of poisoning according to the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases-10 and standardized Poison Severity Score scale. Results. Monitored parameters were analyzed in 10,731 patients acutely poisoned by ethanol, and their average number during one study year was 2146.2 ? 437.95. The average number of treated patients due to poisoning by ethanol (51.47 ? 2.86%) was statistically significantly higher than that of other causes of acute poisoning (p < 0.001). The majority of poisoned patients were men, aged 19 to 65 years, with mild to moderate symptoms of acute ethanol intoxication. The highest number of patients poisoned by ethanol had Poison Severity Score 1 (70.25 ? 5.04%, p < 0.001). Very few acute poisoned with ethanol required hospital treatment (1.05%). Anticipated number of patients acutely poisoned by ethanol had high percentage of increase for the period 2016?2020 (slightly more than 20%), which is worrying, primarily due to their high absolute number. Conclusion. Acute alcohol poisoning represents a significant part of the pathology in the total number of patients treated due to acute poisoning with various chemical substances. The results of this analysis showed that certain populations are particularly vulnerable to abuse of alcohol to the level requiring health care (male population, age 19?65 years). Only a small number of patients (1% of all patients treated for acute alcohol poisoning) required clinical treatment. The obtained data provided the basis for a more targeted preventive action in certain population groups, as well as the adequate planning of professional medical staff engagement, material, spatial and other capacities. These data, also, provided the basis for additional detailed social, economic, health and other researches in this area as well as a more detailed registration of this type of poisoning and establishing a monitoring system and database.

Dinero Electrónico en el Ecuador ¿Solución para el país en época de crisis?
Authors: Zevallos Sheila Karina , Idrovo Wilson Christian
Published: June 2018

La  implementación de un Sistema de Dinero Electrónico (SDE), anunciada por el gobierno ecuatoriano en época de crisis, como oportunidad para la población, en especial para quienes pertenecen a las zonas marginales, de ingresar al sistema financiero nacional, estaría respaldada por una cuenta en el Banco Central del Ecuador (BCE) por dólar depositado de dinero físico, de manera que dispongan de dólares en un monedero electrónico y puedan realizar pagos utilizando su teléfono celular. Esta iniciativa del Estado pretende fortalecer la inclusión financiera afectada por la No bancarización, mejorando la economía del país vía circulación más dinámica del dinero. ¿Será éste el principal objetivo del Estado al implementar el sistema?  ¿Representa el Dinero Electrónico la solución para salir de la crisis actual del Ecuador? ¿Tendrá el éxito esperado? ¿Desaparecerá definitivamente el dinero físico? Estas y más interrogantes, se perciben actualmente en la mayoría de los ecuatorianos que conocen del tema y en aquellos que no están bien informados todavía, pero que serían los beneficiarios. El artículo presenta una reflexión sobre esta la incertidumbre que supone una propuesta que es una realidad cada vez más cercana, en el entorno incierto  y riesgoso característico en las finanzas y en la que todos los ecuatorianos se verán involucrados en algún momento, sin poder predecir con exactitud el dilema introducido en este horizonte.
