USING BLOGS IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO PHILOLOGY STUDENTS
Authors: Krasnokutska Inessa , Kovalchuk Olena
Published: July 2017

This paper reports on an innovative approach to using blogs in teaching English as a foreign language. A blog is a sound example of information and communication technologies (ICT) implementation for language learning. In this paper, authors present the results of a small-scale action research aimed at analysing students’ perceptions of blogging. In total, 25 first-year university students majoring in English took part in a survey. The research results give the evidence of the benefits of using blogs: it encourages students’ autonomous learning, expands their collaboration through comments and discussions, improves language skills, increases the sense of responsibility and the desire for life-long learning, etc. At the same time, teachers consider blogs to be an effective facilitation for greater learner interaction and skills development. The research deals with the detailed blog starting guide for teachers of English. Authors instruct how to create and maintain blogs, as these interactive web pages prove to be effective for students online chatting, exchanging photos, videos, pictures, thereby expanding their language study beyond the classroom. For those who refuse being involved in the creation of a personal web page, some useful blog links are given. For better understanding of blogging efficiency, the researchers report on the positive implementation of blogs in teaching English, focusing on developing reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
COMMUNICATIVE-MEDIATORY FUNCTION OF SECONDARY TEXTREVIEWS
Authors: Movchan Diana , Chulanova Galyna , Kobyakova Iryna
Published: July 2017

The present paper deals with English secondary TextReviews, an increasingly popular and non-trivial mode of computer-mediated communication, which provides popularisation of the book itself as well as the increase of motivation to reading. It is considered that TextReviews are oriented on pragmatically focused impact on the reader and perform communicative-mediatory function in society, creating the algorithm of behaviour of potential readers. Particular attention is focused on the role of a reader, whose task is to extract maximum of the author’s thoughts, to grasp as much information as possible, to assess the merits of the book and finally to share emotions with potential readers. We have presented and comparatively analysed the linguistic means with the help of which authors of TextReviews manipulate potential readers. The study relies on such methods as textual analysis, contextual method, interaction analysis, and quantitative method. The results of this research show that audience-oriented type of texts is the most common. Spatio-temporal constraints of impact of TextReviews make their authors create a text in which elements of different levels of language, together with non-verbal components, are to convince the potential readers of the need to commit the actions programmed by the author of the TextReview, i.e. purchase of a book. The paper stipulates that TextReview becomes one of the main strategies of a new approach to the book publishing and book distribution nowadays.
PSYCHOLINGUISTIC PECULIARITIES FOR APPLICATION OF THE SYMBOL-WORDS IN THE POLITICAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Krylova-Grek Yuliya
Published: July 2017

The article deals with the language semantic units and peculiarities of their performance from the point of view of linguistics. The author highlights how the semantic unit application in a certain function (name-word or symbol-word) influences the speech efficiency of the politician supplementing his/her political image. We investigated a symbol-word as a semantic unit with inherent psychological and linguistic features which lie in the fact that the properties of the object are manifested; its main and additional meaning as well as feelings are expressed through the language means. By segregating the differences of the symbol-word from other semantic units we defined its main functions in the political speech that make it possible for the text to turn into a powerful tool of influence on the listener’s consciousness. Due to the analysis of the words in the function of respective semantic units we were able to realise certain mechanics of the impact on the recipient’s (public) consciousness and to assess their role in the efficiency of emphasis in the speech and the possibility of getting an emotional response from the listener. We defined the aspects enabling the political speech to increase influence on the audience. Firstly, the use of symbol-words in the speech of a politician makes it possible to build the speech addressed not to the rational thinking but affects an unconsciousness suggesting stable meanings. Secondly, with the help of symbols the most vulnerable fields of consciousness are affected, which in turn can trigger strong emotions (fear, anxiety, hope, etc.). Based on the analysis of the speech by Donald Trump, we demonstrated how the change of semantic unit function from the name word to the symbol-word is capable of distinguishing emphasis that increases the efficiency of influence on the public consciousness.
Insight into Oral Biofilm: Primary, Secondary and Residual Caries and Phyto-Challenged Solutions
Authors: Chenicheri Smitha , R Usha , Ramachandran Rajesh , Thomas Vinoy , Wood Andrew
Published: July 2017

Introduction:

Dental caries is known to be one of the most widespread, chronic infections affecting all ages and populations worldwide. The plethora of oral microbial population paves way for various endogenous infections and plays a crucial role in polymicrobial interactions contributing to biofilm-mediated diseases like caries and periodontal diseases.

Methods:

Extensive literature survey was conducted using the scientific databases like PubMed, Google scholar, Science Direct,etc. using the key words like dental caries, orodental infections, dental microbes, dental biofilm, secondary caries, phytotherapy,etc. The literature was analyzed thoroughly and critical review was performed.

Results:

The risk of development of secondary caries and residual caries further results in treatment failure. Drug resistance developed by oral microbes and further side effects pose serious hurdles in the current therapeutic strategies. The hyperactivities of various MMPs and the resulting massive ECM degradation are the challenging part in the design of effective therapeutic approaches. Anticariogenic phytotherapy is well appreciated owing to lesser side effects and versatility of their action. But appreciable outcomes regarding the phytochemical bioavailability and bioretention are still challenging. Site-specific delivery of phytoagents at the infected site may enhance the efficiency of these drugs. Accordingly emerging phytodentistry can be promising for the management of secondary and residual caries.

Conclusion:

This article presents major cariogens and their mechanisms in initiating and aggravating dental caries. Effectiveness of phytotherapy and different mode of action of phytochemicals against cariogens are outlined. The article also raises major concerns and possibilities of phytochemical based therapeutics to be applied in the clinical arena of caries management.

Authors: Lima-e-Silva Agostinho Alves , Silva-Filho Renato Geraldo , Fernandes Henry Marcel Zalona , Saramago Carmen Soares Meirelles , Viana Alice Slotfeldt , Souza Maria José , Nogueira Eduardo Matos
Published: July 2017

Background and Objectives:

Staphylococcus aureusis an important pathogen and a frequent cause of infections associated with biofilm production in implantable medical devices. Biofilm production can be induced by sub-inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of certain antibiotics, but few studies have researched this occurrence inS. aureus. In this study, we investigated the effect of sub-MICs of rifampicin and minocycline on biofilm production by five clinical and five non-clinicalS. aureusisolates.

Methods:

Microtiter Plate assay and Congo Red Agar Test were used to analyze the biofilm production. The biofilm composition was evaluated by the detachment assay with sodium metaperiodate and proteinase K.

Results:

Rifampicin sub-MICs induced very high biofilm formation in seven isolates that were non-producers in Tryptic Soy Broth. In one producer isolate, the biofilm formation level was not affected by sub-MICs of this drug. Sub-MICs of minocycline did not induce biofilm production in all isolates tested and in two producer isolates, instead, MIC/2 and MIC/4 inhibited biofilm production. The results of the drugs in combination were similar to those with rifampicin alone. The biofilm matrix was identified as polysaccharide, except for one producer isolate, classified as proteinaceous. Polysaccharide biofilm producer isolates, when grown on Congo Red Agar without sucrose, but with sub-MICs of rifampicin, showed results in agreement with those obtained in Microtiter Plate Test.

Conclusion:

The high biofilm production induced by sub-MICs of rifampicin has potential clinical relevance, because this is one of the drugs commonly used in the impregnation of catheters. In addition, it is used adjunctively to treat certainS. aureusinfections.
Histochemical Examination of Invertase Activities in the Growing Tip of the Plant Root
Authors: Lunkova N.F. , Burmistrova N.A. , Krasavina M.S.
Published: July 2017

Background:

A growing part of the root is one of the most active sinks for sucrose coming from source leaves through the phloem. In the root, sucrose is unloaded from conducting bundles and is distributed among the surrounding cells. To be involved in the metabolism, sucrose should disintegrate into hexoses by means of degrading enzymes.

Aims:

The aim of this research was to explore the possibility of the involvement of one such enzymes, invertase, in phloem unloading as well as distribution of its activity in the functionally different tissues of the plant root tips.

Method:

To estimate the enzyme activities in root tissues, we applied two techniques: the histochemical method using nitro blue tetrazolium. The localization of phloem unloading was studied with carboxyfluorescein, a fluorescent marker for symplastic transport.

Results:

Invertase activity was not detected in the apical part of the meristem. It appeared only between the basal part of this zone and the beginning of the elongation zone. There is the root phloem unloading in that area. Invertase activity increased with increasing the distance from the root tip and reached the highest values in the region of cell transition to elongation and in the elongation zone. The activities of the enzyme varied in different tissues of the same zone and sometimes in the neighboring cells of the same tissue. Biochemical determination of invertase activity was made in the maize root segments coincident to the zones of meristem, cell elongation and differentiation. The results of both methods of determination of invertase activity were in agreement.

Conclusion:

It was concluded that phloem unloading correlated with invertase activity, possibly because of the activation of invertase by unloaded sucrose. Invertase is one of the factors involved in the processes preparing the cells for their transition to elongation because the concentration of osmotically active hexoses increases after cleavage of sucrose, that stimulates water entry into the cells, which is necessary for elongation growth.

Published: July 2017

Background:

The translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) was originally found in tumor tissue, and later found in other tissues. Initially, TCTP was considered a kind of growth-associated protein. Recent studies have shown that TCTP has many biological functions.

Objective:

To verification ofCsTCTP1gene function by yeast two-hybrid system, the pGBKT7-CsTCTP1yeast expression vector was constructed and cytotoxicity and self-activating activity were detected, which could lay the foundation for further studies on gene function and make a preparation for verification ofCsTCTP1gene function by yeast two-hybrid system.

Method:

Specific PCR, conventional sequencing, heat shock conversion method and TE/LiAC transformation method.

Results:

We constructed a yeast expression vector containing theCsTCTP1gene. TheCsTCTP1coding sequence was inserted into a pGBKT7 vector as a bait protein and then transformed into the Y2HGold yeast stain.

Conclusion:

We found that CsTCTP1 protein had no cytotoxic effect and could not be self-activated. The constructed bait expression vector can be used in the subsequent yeast two - hybrid detection system.
Perspective on Neurobiological and Clinical Early Indicators of Mild Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors:   School of Arts and Sciences, American University in Dubai, P.O Box 28282, Dubai, UAE, Jogia Jigar
Published: July 2017

There is a need for early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Traditional assessments of cognitive decline have been found to lack sensitivity and accuracy in differentiating varying stages of Dementia and cognitive decline as well as being time consuming in their administration. Key components of cognition namely memory and executive function have been identified as most predicative of AD status. Brief cognitive screening tools such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment have been recommended both as a primary clinical and research assessment offering more sensitivity in differentiating AD and MCI. However, overlapping clinical features and impairments in cognitive processing suggest a need for biological risk factors. Neurobiological indicators of cognitive deterioration have been identified implicating measures of cerebrospinal fluid and temporal lobe atrophy as potential biomarkers of early clinical phases of AD and predictors of cognitive decline. Evidence shows the utility of automated classification methods in processing and analysing multivariate neuroimaging data which improves our accuracy for the prediction of conversion of MCI to AD. In this review, we discuss the clinical usefulness of such approaches and the need for Big Data and multi-site studies in improving our understanding of AD neuropathology and confirming pathophysiological mechanisms that can reliably be used to differentiate MCI and AD and predict disease progression and cognitive decline.

AbstractThe AEC is good news for Indonesian migrant workers wanting to work overseas. Unfortunately, many Indonesian migrant workers have been deported from ASEAN countries because of having problems. This study adopts the normative legal research method. It argues that AICHR may be slow in resolving the problems of human rights. It is also argued that the ASEAN Committee on Migrant Workers works in the absence of the political commitment of ASEAN leaders to implement the Cebu Declaration. Therefore, the best solution is public participation in the ASEAN countries to protect migrant workers.IntisariKomunitas Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN adalah berita baik untuk Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) untuk bekerja di luar negeri.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTA political party is one of the tools of democracy in any country that serves to distribute the aspirations of the people to the government, political education, and the others. So that the function can be realized, it needed financial assistance, both from members of the party, from the state or from the donations of others to assist political parties in carrying out its activities. However, in practice a lot happening raising and management of funds by political parties that are not based on the principles of transparency and accountability resulted in various cases of alleged corruption by the political parties. Therefore, it is necessary to reform financial regulation of political parties that meet the principles of transparency and accountability. The principle of transparency and accountability of political party finances can be achieved by requiring each political party financial reports on the sources of funds received by the party, and the financial reports of the elections. In addition, it is necessary also penalties for political parties who are late or even not make those reports, as well as which institutions are given the task of overseeing the financial reports of parties and institutions that enforce sanctions. Therefore, the legislature immediately makes changes to the Electoral Law and the Law on Political Parties to include such arrangements.INTISARIPartai politik adalah salah satu alat demokrasi di negara manapun yang berfungsi untuk menyalurkan aspirasi rakyat kepada pemerintah, melakukan pendidikan politik, dan sebagainya. Agar fungsi tersebut dapat terwujud, maka diperlukan bantuan keuangan, baik dari anggota partai itu sendiri, dari negara atau dari sumbangan pihak lain untuk membantu partai politik dalam menjalankan kegiatannya. Namun, dalam praktek banyak terjadi penggalangan dan pengelolaan dana oleh partai politik yang tidak dilandasi dengan prinsip transparansi dan akuntabilitas mengakibatkan munculnya berbagai kasus dugaan korupsi yang dilakukan orang partai politik. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan reformasi pengaturan keuangan partai politik yang memenuhi prinsip transparansi dan akuntabilitas. Prinsip transparansi dan akuntabilitas keuangan partai dapat dicapai dengan cara mewajibkan setiap partai politik membuat laporan keuangan atas sumber-sumber dana yang diterima oleh partai, dan laporan keuangan Pemilu. Selain itu, perlu diatur juga mengenai sanksi bagi partai politik yang terlambat atau bahkan tidak membuat laporan keuangan tersebut, serta lembaga mana yang diberikan tugas untuk mengawasi laporan keuangan partai dan lembaga yang menegakkan sanksi-sanksi tersebut. Oleh karena itu, para pembentuk undang-undang segera melakukan perubahan terhadap Undang-Undang Pemilu dan Undang-Undang Partai Politik dengan memasukkan pengaturan-pengaturan tersebut.Kata kunci:

Authors: Bùi Vương
Published: July 2017

Bioactive ceramic powder containing 45% SiO2, 24.5% CaO, 24.5% Na2O and 6%
P2O5 (wt.%) was synthesized using a new sol-gel process. The preparedmaterial
was investigated by several physico-chemical methods. The X-ray diffraction
showed the presence of two crystalline phases, Na6Ca3Si6O18 and NaCaPO4. The
high specific surface area (47m2/g) and a mesoporous structure with the
average pore size of 2.6 nm were confirmed using low-temperature nitrogen
adsorption technique. In vitro experiments were carried out by soaking the
powder sample in simulated body fluid (SBF) at different times. XRD, FTIR and
SEM coupled with EDS were used for in vitro evaluation of bioactivity. The
obtained results confirmed that the ceramic powder can be used as biomaterial
for bone tissue engineering due to its high bioactivity expressed by the
rapid formation of a biological carbonated hydroxyapatite layer on its
surface after in vitro assay.

Las enfermedades bucales con mayor prevalencia son la caries dental y la enfermedad periodontal, ocasionadas la mayoría de las veces por una higiene bucal deficiente, de ahí la importancia del nivel de autocuidado de los pacientes. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el nivel de autocuidado y la frecuencia de las enfermedades bucales en los pacientes atendidos en la clínica multidisciplinaria de Zacatecas (CLIMUZAC), durante el semestre agosto-diciembre 2015. El método que se utilizó fue un estudio descriptivo y transversal en una muestra de 165 pacientes; la recolección de información se hizo después de la atención odontológica mediante un instrumento que incluyó: ficha de identificación, cuestionario de salud bucodental en el medio laboral (ASBLA), e índices epidemiológicos bucales: índice de dientes cariados, perdidos y obturados (CPOD), índice de higiene oral simplificado (IHOS), índice de necesidad de tratamiento periodontal comunitario (CPITN), índice de Ramfjord. Después se creó una base de datos en el paquete estadístico SPSS versión 22, para la obtención de medidas de tendencia central, dispersión y variabilidad, además de las pruebas Chi-cuadrada, ANOVA y T Student. Los resultados fueron:  media de edad 33.88 + 15.16, 37.0 % (61), correspondiente al sexo masculino y 63.0 % (104) al femenino. Según el cuestionario del ASBLA, se encontró que 12.1 % (20) tuvo autocuidado bajo, 27.9 % (46) medio y 60 % (99) alto. Con una prevalencia de caries de 64.8 % (107) y 35.2 % (58) sin caries; en el índice CPOD 4.2 % (7) fue muy bajo, 4.2 % (7) bajo, 70.9 % (117) moderado y 20.9 % (34) alto. La prevalencia de enfermedad periodontal fue 48.5 % (80), ausencia de inflamación 51.5 % (85); la mayoría de las mujeres, con 35.8 % (59), no presentó inflamación a diferencia de los hombres con 15.8 % (26). Asimismo, en el grupo femenino hubo mayor porcentaje de buena higiene con 44.2 % (73), en comparación con el masculino de 26.7 % (44). En conclusión, tanto la caries como la enfermedad periodontal siguen siendo un problema de salud pública de alta prevalencia, y cuyas causas principales son la inadecuada higiene bucal y la falta de aplicación de medidas preventivas.

Content seeding via social media is one of the most popular marketing tactics in the digital age. However, there are some digital agencies exercising unethical practices by not notifying the contents as the advertisements in order to earn consumer’s attention and content sharing. As such, the purposes of this research were to investigate Thai consumers’ skepticism toward advertising messages created by content seeding techniques, their attitudes toward advertising messages, advertised brands and media organizations that employed content seeding techniques. Specifically, this study also examined the interrelationships among these four variables. A self-administered survey research was conducted. The participants were selected through convenience sampling. Final sample consisted of 400 Thai consumers aged between 18 and 45 years who had social media usage experiences. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results showed that there was a negative relationship between Thai consumers’ skepticism and their attitudes toward advertising messages created by content seeding techniques via social media (p

FENOMENA PENGGUNAAN BAHASA NONVERBAL DALAM DAKWAH KULTURAL
Authors: Warastuti Rahma Dini
Published: July 2017

The current social situation shows social problems and deviant behavior. In such condition, Allah gives rules, which contain His commands and prohibitions, and asks people to do according to Allah’s rules, and to avoid from what He forbids. From this condition, Islamic preach (da’wah) is needed, which promotes Islamic shari’ah covering all aspects of life. Therefore, Islamic da’wah demands a myriad of approaches, methods, media, message,  actors and partners of  da’wah. From  this,  cultural da’wah model emerged, by which those who were not categorised as a preacher are excited to preach through non-verbal language, such as giving a  good example,  wisdom,  community empowerment, and so forth. This kind of da’wah is proved to be quite effective and successful.

PENELITIAN TERHADAP DEFORMASI PADA PADUAN ALUMINIUM TIPE A5083P-O DENGAN TEKNIK INTERFEROMETRI OPTIK
Authors: Muchiar Muchiar , Mahmud Kisman
Published: July 2017

Deformasi yang terjadi pada pelat paduan aluminium tipe A5083P-O yang dibebani dengan beban tarik telah diteliti dipelajari  dengan teknik interferometri optik pola spekel elektronik. Dari hasil substraksi terhadap rekaman pola spekel selama proses penarikan, telah  ditemukan suatu pola  frinji interferensi  yang khas, berupa pita terang dengan posisi  menyerong. Pola pita terang ini  baru akan timbul pada tingkat  deformasi plastis  dan kedudukannya  dapat berpindah-pindah serta arahnya dapat berubah disepanjang citra permukaan benda uji. Menjelang saat benda uji putus, pita putih ini akan tetap berada di suatu lokasi dimana patah akan terjadi. Dihubungkan dengan teori deformasi yang dikembangkan oleh Panin maka pita putih ini identik dengan slip-band yang akan muncul pada lokasi-lokasi dimana terjadi deformasi paling besar. Pengembangan selanjutnya dari teknik ini diharapkan dapat mengungkapkan tingkat atau kondisi deformasi dari material menjelang patah dan teknik ini juga diharapkan dapat menentukan lokasi dimana patah akan terjadi.
Além da história, a tradição oral: considerações sobre o ensino de história da África na educação básica
Authors: Marques Janote Pires
Published: July 2017

É por meio da tradição oral que a História da África tem em boa parte sido transmitida entre os africanos ao longo das gerações. No Brasil, o ensino de História da África e da Cultura Afro-Brasileira é previsto pela Lei nº 10.639/2003. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a interligação entre a tradição oral africana e a História da África, relacionando essa discussão com a educação escolar básica. Como metodologia para esta pesquisa, discute-se o conceito de “tradição oral”, interligando-o com discussões sobre a temática História da África e da Cultura Afro-Brasileira na educação básica. Conclui-se que a “tradição oral” é um conceito central na História da África, devendo-o ser também no ensino dessa temática em sala de aula.

Quanto à abordagem do problema, classifica-se como qualitativa, com um recorte quantitativo; no que tange ao delineamento, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo que utiliza como meio de investigação questionários mistos, preenchidos no Google Drive, e análise de postagens de cinco fóruns. São sujeitos da pesquisa 32 alunos do Polo de Arroio dos Ratos, Rio Grande do Sul. Sobre essas propostas, os discentes foram questionados a respeito de qual delas foi a mais significativa para a sua aprendizagem, concluindo-se que os educandos têm forte tendência a validar o ensino que reforça a memorização.
A culpabilidade pelo fracasso escolar e a interface com os “problemas de aprendizagem” em discurso
Authors: Pereira Anderson de Carvalho , Ribeiro Carme Sandra de Jesus
Published: July 2017

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o fracasso escolar e sua interface com os “problemas de aprendizagem” a partir da análise das falas de professores e de pais de alunos. Para esse propósito, utilizou o aporte teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, com base no qual foram analisados os jogos de sentido (interpretação) presentes nas falas desses pais e professores acerca de alunos com “problemas de aprendizagem”. A obtenção dos dados (corpus) se deu pela realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com participantes da região Sudoeste da Bahia (Brasil). Pela análise das entrevistas, organizada em zonas de sentido (recortes discursivos), foi possível indicar a impregnação de sentidos evidentes sobre a culpabilidade individual e familiar e o predomínio do paradigma médico da normatividade.
A racionalidade coletiva como paradigma organizativo do MST
Authors: Santos Arlete Ramos dos
Published: July 2017

Este artigo originou-se de um recorte de uma tese de doutorado, a qual teve como objetivo principal analisar a gestão educacional do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, sob o enfoque da burocracia estatal capitalista, como elemento de contradição, tendo em vista que esse Movimento social luta por um paradigma de sociedade que diverge do Estado. Fundamentada no materialismo histórico dialético, a metodologia utilizada para coleta de dados se deu por meio de revisão bibliográfica, análise documental, questionário de perguntas fechadas e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Conclui-se que a organicidade e a sistematização do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra não se encaixam no que se define teoricamente como burocracia, nos clássicos da literatura. Por isso, a autora criou o termo de Racionalidade Coletiva, ao analisar que o referido Movimento em todos os setores encontrou uma nova forma de se estruturar. O propósito é o de que esse conceito sirva para designar tal forma de organização nesse Movimento social.

"Terrorismo": bandera pirata del imperialismo.
Authors: Paredes Collazos Alcibíades
Published: July 2017

El reciente ataque terrorista a los EEUU ha suscitado universal histeria, estimulada por una proterva manipulación mediática. Es obvio que la gran Potencia Imperial, so pretexto de combatir el terrorismo, pretende consolidar su hegemonía mundial apelando a su poderío militar. Su declaración de guerra al “terrorismo”, en abstracto, es anticipada justificación de acciones bélicas contra concretos Estados, y movimientos democráticos o de otra índole.
La economía creativa en Ecuador: una aproximación a sus lógicas espaciales a partir del censo nacional económico de 2010.
Authors: Prada Trigo José , Jiménez Idrovo Ítalo
Published: July 2017

La economía creativa ha tenido un fuerte desarrollo en los últimos años, por parte de discursos académicos, como elemento explicativo del desigual dinamismo de ciudades y territorios. Entre estas perspectivas aparecen, sin embargo, voces críticas que plantean la necesidad de definir con más detalle el componente de los sectores creativos y las tendencias apuntadas por algunos trabajos (concentración metropolitana, especialización funcional, etc.). En el caso de América Latina son aún escasos los trabajos sobre esta temática, siendo necesario abrir dos vías complementarias: los análisis a diferentes escalas espaciales, y la adecuación de las teorías científicas a la realidad (o realidades) del continente. Desde esta perspectiva, este artículo plantea una explotación del Censo Estadístico Económico de 2010, con el fin de aproximarse a la situación y distribución espacial de las empresas creativas en Ecuador, con un enfoque multiescalar, y revisar apriorismos frecuentes en la literatura sobre economía y ciudades creativas.
