¿Es efectiva la publicidad móvil?
Authors: Küster Boluda Inés , Ruiz Mafé Carla , Damián Claudio Christian
Published: December 2020

A pesar de que el marketing móvil ocupa uno de los lugares estratégicos dentro de los servicios relacionados con la comunicación publicitaria, todavía son escasos los estudios que analizan los factores determinantes de su eficacia. El objetivo del presente trabajo es abordar el estudio de la eficacia de la publicidad móvil, mediante un modelo explicativo de la influencia de las variables controlables y no controlables por el anunciante en las actitudes hacia la publicidad móvil y en la intención de compra de las marcas anunciadas. El contraste de relaciones realizado a partir de una entrevista personal con cuestionario estructurado a 208 consumidores con experiencia como usuarios de publicidad móvil evidencia que el entretenimiento, la personalización, la actitud hacia la publicidad en general y la irritación del consumidor son factores con influencia significativa en la actitud hacia la publicidad móvil. Además se demuestra la eficacia predictiva del modelo clásico publicitario de Batra y Ray (1986) aplicado al contexto móvil. Los resultados permiten concluir que la personalización y el entretenimiento se convierten en factores clave de la eficacia de la publicidad móvil.
Escuela y trabajo entre jóvenes mexicanos: Factores que explican su ausencia, 2005 y 2015
Authors: Román Sánchez, Yuliana Gabriela , Navarrete Emma Liliana
Published: December 2020

Estudiar y trabajar son dos ámbitos atribuibles a los jóvenes; su presencia o ausencia en dichas dimensiones depende de sus características individuales, familiares y de la estructura de oportunidades que les brinde su entorno. El objetivo de este artículo es conocer los factores de corte individual y familiar que inciden en que los jóvenes mexicanos no estudien ni trabajen. Esta investigación se define como cuantitativa de tipo correlacional y comparativa, cuyo método de trabajo es deductivo. Los datos provienen de la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo, a partir de los cuales se estimó un modelo de regresión logística multinomial. Los resultados muestran que los varones son los que participan menos en no estudiar ni trabajar (95% menor respecto a las mujeres), pero al interior hay diferencias que resaltan: las mujeres, los jóvenes de 15 a 19 años, los de menor nivel educativo y los solteros, son los más expuestos (presentan mayor probabilidad) de ausentarse de la escuela y el trabajo. Finalmente, las características individuales de los jóvenes y las de corte familiar tienen gran influencia en su no participación en el trabajo y la escuela, así como las condiciones económicas, elementos macro estructurales y el momento en que viven.
Gasto público y ciclo electoral en Venezuela. Período 1977–2012
Authors: Machado N Gustavo E
Published: December 2020

Durante el período 1977–2012, la economía venezolana experimentó un desempeño macroeconómico precario; situación que fue acompañada por la existencia de dificultades en las finanzas públicas, que terminaron tornándose en un factor que contribuía a la continuidad de dicho desempeño. Por ello, se consideró pertinente estudiar el impacto de las motivaciones de los actores del ámbito político sobre dicho comportamiento durante el período 1977-2012. En particular, el presente artículo analiza la relación entre el ciclo electoral, específicamente los eventos de carácter presidencial, y el nivel per cápita de gasto público, utilizando para ello como marco de referencia la Teoría del Ciclo Político Económico. El estudio realizado es de carácter explicativo, y en él se utilizaron modelos econométricos basados en los aportes teóricos de Tufte (1978). El resultado principal de esta investigación, en el caso de Venezuela para el período 1977-2012, es la obtención de indicios que reflejan la carencia de vínculos entre el nivel de gasto público y el ciclo electoral, en contraposición a lo planteado por el marco teórico utilizado, a pesar del incremento de la primera variable durante los años 2000, 2004, 2006 y 2012, por lo que no se deben descartar futuras investigaciones sobre el tema.
Complejidad y dinámica, la necesidad de considerarlas en la evaluación organizacional
Authors: Méndez Valencia Sergio , Morua Ramírez Juan , Hernández Sampieri Roberto
Published: December 2020

En los estudios de gestión suele aislarse a los fenómenos y trabajarlos de una manera estática o semi-estática sin considerar la característica dinámica de la organización y su medio ambiente, este es el caso de la evaluación del clima organizacional. El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la forma en que el individuo crea representaciones frente a los fenómenos dinámicos y demostrar cómo algunas de las herramientas utilizadas comúnmente para la evaluación organizacional no alcanzan a manifestar por completo la realidad compleja y dinámica que se vive en las organizaciones. El método que se usó incluyó una revisión de literatura sobre el pensamiento, la construcción de representaciones y los sistemas dinámicos y complejos. Posteriormente, se llevó a cabo un diagnóstico de clima organizacional a una empresa del ramo alimenticio mediante una escala válida y confiable. Los resultados encontrados llevan a deducir que en la organización existe un clima más bien positivo, sin embargo, como se pudo observar mediante los valores máximos y mínimos obtenidos, no todos los colaboradores piensan de la misma forma. Finalmente, se esboza la idea de la necesidad de buscar otras formas de captar dicha realidad, tal como lo pueden ser los propios métodos mixtos

Shocks petroleros y demanda de dinero en Venezuela 1988-2017
Authors: Urdaneta Armando , Borgucci Emmanuel
Published: December 2020

Este artículo busca determinar el impacto de los ingresos petroleros en la demanda de dinero (M1 y M2) en Venezuela entre 1988 y 2017. La investigación fue descriptiva, correlacional y analítica. Con datos de los agregados monetarios y de la balanza de pagos, se estudiaron variaciones del saldo de las exportaciones petroleras, demanda de dinero e índice nacional de precios al consumidor, con el empleo de modelos de vectores autorregresivos estructurados, realizando pruebas de raíz unitaria de las variables endógenas, estimación de rezagos ideales, causalidad, autocorrelación, cointegración, función impulso respuesta y descomposición de la varianza; además de ello se estimaron coeficientes de correlación y elasticidad entre las variables del modelo. Los resultados arrojaron que los shocks petroleros tienen un impacto en M1 y M2, con un alto grado de asociación lineal; la presencia de elasticidad respecto a la demanda de dinero para M1 y elasticidad unitaria para M2; se evidencia estacionariedad en primera diferencia en las variables endógenas, cointegración a largo plazo entre las exportaciones petroleras y la demanda de dinero, la no presencia de autocorrelación, así como una relación impulso-respuesta a largo plazo de las exportaciones petroleras respecto a la demanda de dinero partir del período t+2.
Vulnerabilidad social de la población desterrada. Más allá del goce efectivo de derechos
Authors: Salamanca Ospina Edwar Leonardo , Egea Jiménez Carmen
Published: December 2020

Este trabajo se enmarca en el estudio de la vulnerabilidad desde la política pública actual para víctimas del conflicto en Colombia. Se propone aquí denominarlas desterradas frente a la más común de desplazados internos. El estudio se centra en una comunidad concreta, la del predio El Carpintero en la altillanura colombiana, con dos objetivos la de conocer los alcances y limitaciones de dicha política pública, y hacer una propuesta de indicadores para abordar dicha política desde el campo de la vulnerabilidad social. El análisis es eminentemente cualitativo basado en los relatos de personas desterradas y haciendo uso de un programa asistido de manejo de datos, en concreto Atlas.ti. Este proceder metodológico se plantea desde la Teoría Fundamentada. Este análisis ha permitido identificar cuatro ejes temáticos que discurren por el proceso de destierro: las condiciones estructurales de la población desplazada; los riesgos e impacto social del desplazamiento; las estrategias de afrontamiento; y los conflictos por la tierra y reconfiguración socio-territorial en la finca El Carpintero. Como conclusión se incide en el enfoque de la vulnerabilidad social para investigar de manera integral la población desplazada y diseñar políticas de atención a las mismas

Authors: Guerra Muñoz Martha Esther , Zuluaga Guerra Amat David , Saravia Roa Luis Alexander
Published: December 2020

La educación busca encontrar respuestas para alcanzar resultados significativos en el proceso formativo de los estudiantes. No obstante, tal acción se puede tornar ardua, ya que existen factores que dificultan la labor docente. Es así como se observa desde la docencia, a ciertos alumnos con intereses, contrarios a su proceso de aprendizaje. En tal sentido, estos intereses que forman parte de su estado interno y su situación frente a lo externo, afectan su deseo o abstención hacia el estudio, generando la necesidad de resolver mediante estrategias pedagógicas la optimización de la enseñanza. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la inclusión de la música vallenata como instrumento pedagógico en el proceso de aprendizaje universitario. La base conceptual, se expresa en el paradigma constructivista, desde las ideas de autores como Ausubel (1968) aprendizaje significativo, Gardner (1993) inteligencia musical, entre otros. La investigación se basa en el pensamiento positivista con enfoque cuantitativo y diseño cuasi experimental. Los resultados demostraron que la mediación pedagógica aplicada al grupo objeto de la investigación, permitió disminuir los elementos distractores en clases, aumentar el interés del aprendizaje e incrementar el rendimiento académico. Se concluye que las estrategias lúdico musicales, ofrecen cambios importantes en el aprendizaje del universitario.
Determinantes del rendimiento académico estudiantil: Caso Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción
Authors: Gallegos Mardones Juan Alejandro , Campos Requena Nélyda Aurora
Published: December 2020

Los procesos de globalización iniciados en los 80, se caracterizaron por una serie de cambios constantes en la educación superior transformando a la calidad como un aspecto clave y como medida de ésta el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. El artículo evalúa un conjunto de variables que afectan el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas de la Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción en Chile entre los años 2007 y 2014. La metodología utilizada fue una combinación de cortes transversales a través de modelos de regresión, mínimos cuadrados ordinarios. Los resultados muestran que las variables que explican el rendimiento académico son las notas de enseñanza media, los puntajes obtenidos en las pruebas de admisión al sistema de educación superior y la aplicación de nuevas y variadas metodologías de enseñanza aprendizaje basadas en competencias que permiten reconocer la heterogeneidad y diversidad de los estudiantes. Se concluye que las determinantes personales y las variables institucionales cobran relevancia a la hora de explicar el rendimiento académico.
Trabajo infantil: Una realidad social en el Estado Tamaulipas-México
Authors: Reséndez González María Angelica , Villanueva Mendoza Armando , Dimas de los Reyes Arturo , Dragustinovis Perales Humberto Rubén
Published: December 2020

El derecho del trabajo en México es la rama jurídica que busca equilibrar las relaciones de los patrones y los trabajadores, que ésta se realice de manera justa, afirmación que cobra vigencia, cuando se aplica al trabajo de los menores, grupo vulnerable que resulta propicio para los abusos. El trabajo infantil, considerado como ejercido por niños, niñas y adolescentes, cuando está prohibido por la legislación, es un problema que incide de manera más evidente en los países subdesarrollados, como México. Por tanto, se plantea establecer objetivamente, la causa fundamental del trabajo infantil, prohibido por la Constitución. El presente trabajo se aborda con una investigación mixta, procediendo con el método lógico deductivo-inductivo, a través de técnicas de investigación, aplicándose al análisis de documentos jurídicos y consultas bibliográficas, hemerográficas y legislativas. Entre los resultados destaca la vulneración a los derechos humanos de los y las menores, quienes, obligados por la pobreza, comprometen su desarrollo físico y emocional desempeñando labores no adecuadas a su edad. Se concluye que, indefectiblemente prevalecen en México condiciones nada favorables para respetar el derecho de los niños, niñas y adolescentes, por lo cual se propone diseñar programas derivados de políticas públicas estatales, para abatir el problema planteado.

INDIA CENTRAL INVESTIGATION BUREAU: HISTORY, LEGAL BASIS OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY, TASKS, STRUCTURE
Authors:   Donetsk Law Institute, MIA of Ukraine, Kryvyi Rih, Epryntsev Pylyp , Nosevych Nadiya ,   Donetsk Law Institute, MIA of Ukraine, Kryvyi Rih
Published: December 2020

The law enforcement component provides for actions to ensure the rights and freedoms of citizens and protect the national interests of the state. It maybe done through the fight against organized crime, including international terrorism, the investigation of certain illegal acts, the restoration of an effective system of national security and defense. In the framework of this scientific and legal article, the author considered the history, legal basis of professional activity, structure and tasks of the Central Bureau of Investigation of India. Today's Indian CBI is a certain functional-targeted analogue of the American FBI, but does not cover, in contrast, the issue of threats to India's national security. Considering these subject aspects, the scientist turned to the current legislation of India on the professional activities of the CBI, the official website, as well as the scientific works of some domestic and foreign experts on this issue. An analysis of these and other sources revealed that the Central Bureau of Investigation of India today is a functional target of the US FBI, whose prerogative is to investigate a number of serious crimes throughout India, although, unlike the FBI, its professional rights in India states are significantly limited. The Bureau of Investigation does not carry out intelligence or counterintelligence activities, following the example of the FBI. The priority in the professional activities of the Central Bureau of Investigation of India is the investigation of criminal offenses, primarily corruption. Incomplete regulatory regulation of its activity remains a big problem for this body. The CBI's prerogative is to investigate a number of serious crimes throughout India, although, unlike the FBI, its professional rights in the Indian states are severely limited. A certain priority in the CBI's professional activities is the investigation of criminal offenses committed by government officials. First of all, we are talking about acts of corruption. A major problem for today's Indian CBI is the lack of separate clear legislation on its professional activities.

Authors:   Donetsk Law Institute, MIA of Ukraine, Mariupol, Zakharchenko Andriy
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the problematic issues that arise in connection with the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the state in case of violation of these rights and interests by economic entities of the public sector of the economy. The state of normative-legal provision and law-enforcement practice concerning realization of protection by subjects of management of objects of state property, as well as of bodies of the state financial control, and also bodies of prosecutor's office are also considered. According to the results of the study in order to improve the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the state from violations by economic entities of the public sector of the economy, it was proposed: 1) to specify the procedure and forms of exercising powers by the subjects of management of state property objects granted to them in order to control the activities of economic entities of the state sector of the economy; 2) to consolidate the obligation of subjects of management of objects of state property to take measures for judicial protection of the rights and interests of the state from violations committed by these entities; 3) to approve methodical recommendations on protection of the rights and lawful interests of the state by subjects of management of objects of state property, including from infringements from the above-stated subjects of management; 4) to take into account the state of implementation by the subjects of management of state property of measures to protect the rights and legitimate interests of the state in conducting a single monitoring of the effectiveness of management of state property; 5) to consolidate normatively the sequence of actions of the bodies of state financial control in case of detection of losses caused to the state; 6) to establish the powers of these bodies to apply directly to the court in the interests of the state with claims for invalidation of contracts concluded by controlled entities in violation of the law; 7) to specify the provisions regarding the protection of the interests of the state by the prosecutor's office.
FEATURES OF DISMISSAL OF CIVIL SERVANTS FOR CORRUPTION OFFENSES
Authors:   Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade named after  Mykhailo Tugan-Baranovsky, Kryvyi Rih, Shulzhenko Ihor
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study and scientific analysis of the current anti-corruption legislation, which regulates the bringing of civil servants to disciplinary responsibility in the form of disciplinary dismissal for committing corruption offenses. Civil servants are persons who, while in the civil service, perform the tasks and functions of the state. The human rights and freedoms in Ukraine depend on how honestly they are in the performance of official duties and adhere to the current anti-corruption legislation. Disciplinary liability of civil servants has its own specifics associated with a special subject of liability, which carries out not just labor, but professional service activities. Thus, bringing a civil servant to criminal or administrative responsibility for committing corruption offenses leads to disciplinary liability in the form of disciplinary dismissal from the civil service.Based on the analysis of regulations governing legal relations in the field of bringing civil servants to justice for corruption offenses, proposals were made to improve the current legislation in this area, and it was concluded that the dismissal of civil servants for corruption offenses has its own features, which are in that: first, the procedure for dismissal of a civil servant for a corruption offense is regulated by labor law; secondly, the disciplinary responsibility of a civil servant for committing corruption offenses is manifested in the form of disciplinary dismissal; thirdly, an official authorized by law to appoint and dismiss civil servants must, in a mandatory manner, apply to a civil servant a disciplinary sanction in the form of dismissal in the event of the entry into force of a court decision on the recruitment of a civil servant. to administrative liability for corruption offenses; fourth, a disciplinary sanction in the form of disciplinary dismissal for a corruption offense shall be applied no later than three days from the date of occurrence or establishment of the entry into force of a court decision to bring a civil servant to administrative responsibility.

Biscogniauxia (Hypoxylon) Canker or Dieback in Trees
Authors: Paez Claudia , Smith Jason A.
Published: December 2020

Biscogniauxia canker or dieback (formerly called Hypoxylon canker or dieback) is a common contributor to poor health and decay in a wide range of tree species (Balbalian & Henn 2014). This disease is caused by several species of fungi in the genus Biscogniauxia (formerly Hypoxylon). B. atropunctata or B. mediterranea are usually the species found on Quercus spp. and other hosts in Florida, affecting trees growing in many different habitats, such as forests, parks, green spaces and urban areas (McBride & Appel, 2009).

 Typically, species of Biscogniauxia are opportunistic pathogens that do not affect healthy and vigorous trees; some species are more virulent than others. However, once they infect trees under stress (water stress, root disease, soil compaction, construction damage etc.) they can quickly colonize the host. Once a tree is infected and fruiting structures of the fungus are evident, the tree is not likely to survive especially if the infection is in the tree's trunk (Anderson et al., 1995).
Food Safety on the Farm: Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices – Worker Health and Hygiene
Authors: Lepper Jessica A. , Schneider Keith R. , Goodrich Schneider Renée M. , Sreedharan Aswathy
Published: December 2020

Good agricultural practices (GAPs) and good handling practices (GHPs) encompass the general procedures that growers, packers and processors of fresh fruits and vegetables should follow to ensure the safety of their product. GAPs usually deal with preharvest practices (i.e., in the field), while GHPs cover postharvest practices, including packing and shipping. This factsheet covers GAPs and GHPs relating to worker health and hygiene. There are seven other Florida Cooperative Extension factsheets in the 'Food Safety on the Farm' series that focus on specific aspects of the GAPs program and how they relate to Florida crops and practices.
Under the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), GAPs are a foundation of the Produce Safety Rule (PSR). Other than for round tomatoes in Florida (T-GAPs regulation), GAPs have mainly been a voluntary program. Additionally the PSR mandates all non-exempt operations to follow these new FSMA federal guidelines (8), but all exempt commodities and for those producers exporting to foreign countries, GAPs may still be required. Both the mandatory PSR and GAPs aim to reduce the foodborne illness burden associated with produce.

Worker Protection Standard: Training Workers and Handlers 2016
Authors: Fishel Frederick M.
Published: December 2020

In 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a comprehensive regulation called the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides (WPS). The WPS covers pesticides used in the outdoor and enclosed space production of plants on farms, forests, and nurseries, as well as greenhouses. The WPS requires agricultural employers to take steps to reduce pesticide-related risks when agricultural workers and pesticide handlers are exposed to these pesticides. The EPA has made several changes to the WPS since it was fully implemented in 1995. On November 2, 2015, the EPA revised the WPS, making significant changes to the rule’s requirements. Most of the revised provisions will become effective January 2, 2017; there are four provisions that are delayed until January 2, 2018. This document will address worker and handler training requirements.

Published: December 2020

CPCL 97-2730 (Milligan et al. 2009) and CPCL 00-4111 (Glynn et al. 2011) are developed through the cooperative agreement between the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Canal Point, the university of Florida, Everglades Research and Education Center, Belle Glade and Florida Sugar Cane League. Prefix ‘CPCL’ in the name of these cultivars indicate that their crosses were made at the US Sugar Corporation, Clewiston (CL) and selection at different stages was carried through the cooperative breeding and selection program based at Canal Point (CP). Both are emerging sugarcane cultivars in Florida with their rapid expansion in last couple of years. CPCL 97-2730 and CPCL 00-4111 were ranked among the top 10 sugarcane cultivars in Florida in 2015 sugarcane variety census (VanWeelden et al. 2016) based on their total acreage.  High biomass yield and better rust resistance than most commercial cultivars greatly improves the chances of their adoption by the growers. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide basic information (Table 1) and yield and disease information (Table 2) about CPCL 97-2730 and CPCL 00-4111 to assist growers in decision making on further expansion of these cultivars.

Gopher apple occurs from the lower Florida peninsula northward to South Carolina westward to Louisiana in coastal dunes, sandhills, and disturbed areas such as roadsides. Gopher apple gets its name because gopher tortoises, along with other small mammals, eat their fruit. Gopher apple is an ideal groundcover for a coastal landscape with well-draining soil and a low pH (Gilman 2014).https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg169

Florida’s Agritourism Laws
Authors: Henry Mary Beth , Stofer Kathryn A.
Published: December 2020

Agritourism marries Florida’s two largest industries, tourism and agriculture, to provide an on-farm recreational experience for consumers. Florida has experienced record tourism in recent years, with 105 million visitors spending more than $85 billion in 2015, according to VISIT Florida1. Although Florida trails many other states in the number of agritourism operations2, the number of Florida farms offering recreational experiences more than doubled from 281 in 2007 to 724 in 2012, according to USDA Census of Agriculture data3. This document describes the laws governing Florida agritourism operations, including the original 2013 definition (F.S. 570.96) and clarifications passed in 2016 (F.S. 570.85-89). A companion document, Agritourism Building Code Rule Development4, discusses statutes affecting building and fire codes for agritourism operations.

Published: December 2020

The rapid urbanization increases the impermeable surface that leads to reduce the water permeability into the soil, resulting in reducing the infiltration and increasing the surface runoff. This study aims to extract the impermeable surface using Landsat satellite images and to monitor changes in the impervious surface in the period 2015 –2018 in Can Tho city. This study applied the Objectbased Image Analysis (OBIA) method with the Rule-based Image Analysis algorithm on Landsat 8 fusion data with multispectral images and spatial resolution of 15 m in the period 2015 – 2018 using impermeable surface extraction indicators. Impermeable surface map in 2015 and 2018 with high accuracy assessment (T = 95.5% and K = 0.91, 2015; T = 94% and K = 0.88, in 2018) was established and the fluctuation of the impermeable surface increased from 13,746.6 ha (9.55%) to 19,966.67 ha (13.87%) from 2015 to 2018. The research result indicated the infrastructure development situation and urban construction in Can Tho city during three years increasing of 4.32% of the total natural area in Can Tho city.

A Muslim's struggle is to conquer his own desires. Encourage all people to do good to carry out the commands given by Allah SWT through religious orders delivered through the Prophet Muhammad who are recorded in the Qur'an and Hadith. Every Muslim has the obligation to convey what is true in accordance with religious guidance. In connection with the da'wah of Islam, a messenger of the message of da'wah is the successor of the Prophets and Apostles for inviting the truth. However, today we often see and listen to lectures that are conceptualized in a good way but the contents conveyed tend to be tendentious and unsettling the Ummah. Da'wah that is delivered is often only focused on problems that can actually be overcome by the spirit of humanity. However, this method is feared will instead give the impression that preaching must be loud and loud. Whereas the inclusive way of preaching has been taught by Rasulullah Saw which emphasizes human relations.
