Unbundling Institutions: Using Economic Analysis to Understand the Importance of Institutions
Authors: Scriven Christina
Published: April 2021

A large literature on institutions has developed that claims that institutions influence long-run growth and development; thus, it becomes critical to carefully examine what institutions influence which outcomes to better understand factors that influence long-run economic growth across countries. Douglass North terms institutions as the rules of the game and this paper will work to further examine these rules by looking at private property rights institutions, which are the rules and regulation protecting citizens against the power of the government and elites , and contracting institutions, which are the rules and regulations governing contracts between ordinary citizens. The paper Unbundling Institutions , published in the Journal of Political Economy by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson in 2005, seeks to conceptualize the different factors within the institutional framework and provide some semblance of which of these factors provide the most relevant analysis. The paper finds that property rights institutions have a strong influence on long-run economic growth, investment, and financial development, while contracting institutions have a more limited impact on those same factors. My presentation will give a concise background on the development of the new institutional approach and explain the reasoning for the conceptual divide between property rights and contracting institutions. Using a two-stage least squares regression (2SLS) approach and the instrumental variable approach, the presentation will address issues of causality and correlation. Identifying the link to the policy arena will provide context as to why this area is of particular importance.
Sedimentology of Surficial Cool­water Carbonates on the Continental Shelf of Tasmania, Australia
Authors: Martindale Rowan
Published: April 2021

The continental shelf of Tasmania and Bass Strait is veneered by surficial carbonate and terriginous sediment, which represents the coldest carbonate assemblage on the southern shelf of Australia. Three major facies are recognized based on dominant components, and are further separated into eight sub­facies. Quartzose sand is a nearshore facies, whereas Holocene biogenic sand and gravel is found outboard in  deeper waters. Relict sand and gravel is located between these facies on the majority of the shelf, although  it is rare on the narrow, eastern shelf. When Holocene biotic sediments are considered, five facies can be identified based on the abundance of bryozoans, molluscs, benthic foraminifer, sponge spicules, and  coralline algae. Molluscs and bryozoans dominate the most widespread facies; molluscs are numerous nearshore, in large bays, and on granitic ridges, and bryozoans are abundant in deeper, or nutrient rich  waters. Again, eastern and western shelves differ, in that molluscs, which are common in the east, only  occur near rivers on the western shelf. The key factor controlling this distribution is the level of trophic resources available. Dominant bryozoan growth forms provide detailed resolution of the Holocene sediment and relative importance can be linked to water energy or substrate. In general, delicate branching  forms are found in deeper water on the eastern and western shelves, as well as the eastern side of the Bass Strait, whereas articulated zooidal forms dominate higher energy waters and areas with unstable or fine substrate, such as the southern shelf and western Bass Strait.
Flow Experience and Life Satisfaction
Authors: King Jared
Published: April 2021

The present study aims to examine the relationship between experiencing flow in academic work and life satisfaction. The flow experience has been defined as a state of absolute absorption in an activity, often  resulting in feelings of satisfaction (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975, 1990). However, it is unknown whether the satisfaction resulting from flow contributes to an enduring sense of satisfaction, or whether flow can be used as a tool to sustain increased levels of satisfaction over time. Thus, the goals of the present experiment are threefold: 1) to test the relationship between experiencing flow and life satisfaction, 2) to  determine whether experiencing flow has a lasting effect on life satisfaction, and 3) to evaluate the utility of  flow as an intervention strategy for increasing and sustaining levels of life satisfaction. Results are forthcoming.
Sir Gawain Hits the Radio Waves
Authors: Manno Rachel
Published: April 2021

This research project examines some of the complexities of the Medieval work “Sir Gawain and the Green  Knight” from the perspectives of both world­renown scholars and laymen interviewees. The study uses professional in­studio equipment to record responses to research questions asked of academics by long­  distance phone interview. In the same way, the researcher asks questions of a randomly selected public group and records the commentary with portable equipment. The researcher then compiles raw material from interviews in bricolage format. The result juxtaposes the original views of both prominent researchers and the public on controversial issues within the “Gawain” text. The study likens the complex issues of  gender, public morality, community and capitalism occupying medieval audiences to the types of  challenges society faces today. This comparison of medieval and modern issues show that historical literary works are of enduring value to the contemporary reader; works, like “Sir Gawain”, deal with a complex set of social issues in a way that encourages a multiplicity of readings and engages with various different audiences. As a way of reaching the broad audience concerned with these issues, the project arranges the interview feedback into a radio program format complete with medieval musical segue­ways. The program originally aired on CFRC, Queen’s Radio in two parts on March 28th and April 6th, 2006, respectively, and remains available on­line via www.chatterbook.ca. Professors from Canada, the United  States and Europe have requested permission to use the project as a teaching aid.

Abstract. The article carries out theoretical and empirical analysis of features of personality᾿s self-identity by means of fashion. It presents theoretical analysis of the main approaches to the interpretation of fashion and its evolution in the process of social development and describes the content characteristics of fashion as a social and psychological phenomenon and its impact on the individual identification and self-presentation. It has been determined that fashion is an important mechanism of self-presentation and identification of the individual with a certain social group. The author clarifies the scale of the fashion influence on the self-identification and self-presentation of the personality and its possible consequence revealing the psychological mechanisms of young people᾿s interest in modern fashion.
The empirical study of the role and influence of fashion on self-presentation among students has been carried out. According to quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results obtained factors and the relationship between them have been singled out, which are the key to the self-identity of personality. It is confirmed that the studied groups of students perceive fashion as a means to emphasize their individuality; they have a clear need for material well-being, prestige, popularity.
FEATURES OF STUDENTS’ PROCRASTINATION
Authors: Dub Vira
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The article carries out a theoretical and methodological analysis of the phenomenon of procrastination.
In psychology, procrastination is understood as a constant postponement and non-fulfillment of planned tasks. It is different from a simple correction of plans or laziness. A person is well aware that non-fulfillment of certain cases can have negative consequences (non-fulfillment at all, late execution, excessive extra effort for deadlines, condemnation of relatives, lack of sleep), however. Again and again a person postpones it.
That is why procrastination is often accompanied by various negative emotional states: guilt, anxiety, discomfort, a sense of inability to control the situation. Procrastination is usually manifested in activities, the result of which is very important for the individual.
Students have all kinds of procrastination, but academic procrastination is the most common. Most often studentsʼs procrastination occurs in situations that involve intellectual stress, require self-organization and activity planning, with deferred remuneration, not sufficiently motivated. The classic of academic procrastination is to prepare for the exam on the last day, to write a term paper the day before the defense, or even to write it at night. Chronic procrastination is characteristic of students who have chosen the wrong specialty and the wrong educational institution, so they study without interest and try to complete educational tasks on the last day. In addition, such students show an inability to organize their activities, forgetfulness, general behavioral rigidity.
There are the factors that cause procrastination in the studentʼs environment. They are psychological, socio-psychological, pedagogical and psychophysiological factors.
An empirical study has shown that procrastination is common to all students, but manifests in varies degrees.
There are some causes of procrastination that the students indicated. They are inability to plan, lack of time, lack of motivation, fatigue, health, too many tasks, uninteresting tasks, lack of willpower, the presence of other important tasks.
It should be said that both groups with a low level of procrastination and with a high level of procrastination there are students who have a positive attitude to procrastination. They see the benefit of procrastination, explaining that they have time to have a rest, time to find more effective way to achieve a desired result, thus considering procrastination a natural state of reduced activity.
In the group of students with a low level of procrastination the success rate is higher than in the groups of students with medium and high levels of procrastination. In the group of students with a low level of procrastination there is a high overall ability to self-regulate. High self-regulation of laziness is a characteristic of students with low levels of procrastination.

Published: April 2021

South East Anatolia Region has a large genetic plant diversity due to its physical and different climatic charesteristics. These plants are potential sources of antioxidants that prevent oxidative stress caused by oxygen and photons. In recent years, it has become important to study the antioxidant capacity of many molecules found naturally in foods and biological systems. The reason for this is that it is believed that when the consumption of food rich in antioxidants is increased, the risk of developing different degenerative diseases will be reduced. In this study, it was aimed to measure the antoxidant capacity of Quercus infectoria, G.olivier gal seeds grown in Southeastern Anatolia. Q. infectoria gal seeds from Sanlıurfa province were used in our study. Q. infectoria gal seeds were extracted with water, ethanol and methanol and then antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase and superoxide dismutase) and malondialdehyde levels, which are indicators of oxidative stress were determined by spectrophotometric methods. It was found that the antioxidant capacity (catalase and superoxide dismutase activities) of extracts obtained from ethanol and methanol were higher and their malondialdehyde levels were statistically lower than those obtained from water. However, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde levels of the extracts obtained from methanol compared to the extracts obtained from ethanol. It has been concluded that Q. infectoria gal seed has a effective antioxidant effect. In addition, it was observed that extracts obtained from ethanol and methanol have higher antioxidant capacity than extracts obtained from water.

Authors: Ünalan Adnan , Akyol Ethem
Published: April 2021

In this study, some biochemical characteristics (total protein, total RNA, Catalase: CAT enzyme activity and malondialdehyde: MDA level) of Italian bee (A. m. ligustica) and Caucasian bee (A. m. caucasica), and Muğla and Anatolian bees (A. m. anatolica) from local honey bee races were investigated comparatively. Laboratory analyzes of biochemical characteristics were performed on worker bees aged 24 days old with 10 repetitions using appropriate methods informed in the literature. The amounts of total protein of bee races given above were 18.39±1.28, 20.71±0.63, 18.56±1.24 and 20.95±2.15 g/dL, respectively; the amounts of total RNA were 11.46±0.18, 12.10±0.26, 11.87±0.20 and 12.27±0.26 Âµg/ÂµL, respectively; the CAT activities were 4.59±0.46, 5.12±0.67, 4.88±0.48 and 5.25±0.53 kU/g P, respectively; the levels of MDA were 0.52±0.04, 0.50±0.04, 0.48±0.02 ve 0.43±0.05 mmol/mg, respectively. Variance analysis showed that statistically significant differences among races in terms of the all characteristics examined. The results of CAT activity which is one of the indicators of antioxidant defense system, and levels of MDA which is an indicator of peroxidation of membrane lipids; and similarly total amount of protein also includes various proteins such as antioxidants and enzymes; it can be said that the Anatolian and Caucasian bee races (due to higher total protein, total RNA and CAT activities, and lower MDA level) are more resistant to various negative environmental factors (e.g. climate, flora, pesticide, etc.) than the Muğla and Italian bee races in the conditions of the Central Anatolia Region; there are significant differences between the bee races in terms of amounts of total RNA and this parameter can be also used in the characterization of bee races.

Authors: Bayav Alamettin , Karlı Bahri
Published: April 2021

Apple cultivation has been done in very large areas around the world. According to FAO, approximately 87.2 million tons of apples were produced in the world in 2019. Turkey has covered 3.6 million tons of this production and ranked third in the world. In this study, the two major apple production areas for Turkey, Isparta and Karaman annual operating results of the province apples' farms, were evaluated. Data acquired by interviewing from 132 farms selected with the stratified random sampling method constituted the study's primary material. Classical economic analysis approaches were used in determining the annual operating results of the farms. The farms' financial and economic profitability rates were 8.82% and 7.78% in Isparta province, respectively, while 7.25% and 6.15% in Karaman province. The research results showed that apple farms did not have rational capital distribution, their agricultural incomes were low, and their income varied by province.
Development of a Wellness Curriculum at a New Regional Campus: A Pilot Study
Authors: Edel Katelyn , Flanagan Michael , Qiu Juan , Gardner Jacqueline
Published: April 2021

Background: Burnout is a critical issue that is increasingly prevalent among healthcare professionals. Several studies suggest that the decline in mental health and wellness begins in medical school. As such, medical schools across the United States have started to develop proactive approaches to medical student wellness, often in the form of an organized curriculum focused on resilience, mindfulness, and stress-reduction. There is little research describing the implementation and refinement of a wellness curriculum at a small regional campus of an academic medical center. A regional campus represents a unique opportunity to develop a comprehensive wellness program, because of the flexibility of the curriculum and the small number of students. The Penn State College of Medicine University Park Campus sought to develop a wellness program specific to first year medical students (MS1s) and to create a companion program of inter-professional wellness exercises open to all teaching faculty and learners at our regional campus. Methods: The study was reviewed by the Penn State College of Medicine Institutional Review Board (STUDY00011390) and was granted “Exempt” status. Three components of the wellness curriculum were developed: a mandatory, semester-long curriculum for MS1s focused on professional development, a 10-session Tai Chi class accessible to faculty, staff and students, and a series of watercolor painting workshops accessible to faculty and students. Participants completed pre- and post-surveys to assess these interventions. Results: The participation rate for the optional Tai Chi and watercolor workshops was relatively low, with 20% of students attending. Most participants felt that medical schools should be responsible for offering wellness programs for students. The majority of students wanted optional wellness activities to be available, rather than mandatory sessions. Discussion: The information gathered from this pilot study will be used to develop a formal curriculum that is accessible, helpful, and convenient for all members of the regional campus community. In the future, it will be helpful to conduct a needs assessment to ascertain what kind of wellness offerings will be most successful among students, faculty, and staff of a regional medical campus. Conflicts of Interest: None.

Epistemología de la ética en sentido aristotélico: la ética como puesta en uso de la Racionalidad práctica
Authors: Cuadros Contreras Raúl
Published: April 2021

El artículo presenta una caracterización epistemológica de la ética, en clave aristotélica, en la que se la entiende como como un saber práctico que estudia las distintas formas de vida en procura del bien o de la felicidad; centrado por ello en la consideración de las acciones y de las decisiones humanas, vistas en relación con los modos de ser anclados en complejos mundos vitales comunitarios. De allí que se insista en que lo determinante es la puesta en uso de la racionalidad práctica. Una racionalidad práctica que tiene como modelos a los razonamientos dialécticos que aparecen tanto en la retórica como en la poética; en la que las operaciones claves son la argumentación, la interpretación y la narración y en la que se concede importancia a las pasiones o emociones, porque se las considera determinantes en el esfuerzo por hacernos buenos.

Chronic diseases often require long-lasting pharmacotherapy. Administration of some medicines on a daily routine may cause troublesome adverse effects thus discouraging the patient from further treatment. An abrupt withdrawal of formerly continuous pharmacotherapy not proceeded by the professional medical consultation may endanger the patient either due to the relapse of the disease or the onset of withdrawal symptoms that, despite some opinions, are not limited only to potentially addictive medications. These symptoms may be mistaken for a clinical manifestation of a yet another medical condition of the ill leading to a vicious cycle of repeated diagnostics – additional pharmacotherapy – discontinuation of treatment due to drug intolerance – novel symptoms – repeated diagnostics etc., especially in the elderly. Unfortunately, even some medical doctors tend to forget that administration of specific drugs should not be stopped suddenly because certain withdrawal symptoms are more harmful than mild drug-induced adverse reactions. On the other hand, this is the clinician’s individual decision whether to stop or to continue the treatment in the presence of drug intolerance reported by the patient as many “practical” guidelines either do not give any recommendations or the statements are too general to be helpful in every-day practice. Therefore, the authors review the data on the causative factors and clinical implications of a sudden drug withdrawal, including mainly stricte non-addictive medicines in use for diseases of high incidence in general population.

Published: April 2021

Onions, one of the most common vegetables, have been used for thousands of years for both food and health. It contains many micro- and macro-elements and organic substances that give it its characteristic taste and invaluable healing properties. The article presents the possible therapeutic benefits of using onions. These include antibacterial, antiplatelet, fibrinolytic and antineoplastic effect as well as affecting immunity and digestion. Regular consumption of onions protects the body against free radicals, and also has an extremely beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. Already a small amount of onions added to the daily diet regulates the level of lipids, reduces blood viscosity and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. In Poland, onion production occupy a leading position in terms of crop size, but the consumption of this popular vegetable is still insufficient. Spreading information about the positive effect of onions and increasing its supply in the daily diet can give multidirectional therapeutic effects.
Machine Learning as a Tool to Engineer Microstructures: Morphological Prediction of Tannin-Based Colloids Using Bayesian Surrogate Models
Authors: Jin Soo-Ah , Kämäräinen Tero , Rinke Patrick , Rojas Orlando J. , Todorovic Milica
Published: April 2021

Oxidized tannic acid (OTA) is a useful biomolecule with a strong tendency to form complexes with metals and proteins. In this study we open the possibility to further the application of OTA when assembled as supramolecular systems, which typically exhibit functions that correlate with shape and associated morphological features. We use artificial intelligence (AI) to selectively engineer OTA into particles encompassing 1-dimensional (1D) to 3-dimensional (3D) constructs. We employed Bayesian regression to correlate colloidal suspension conditions (pH and pKa) with the size and shape of the assembled colloidal particles. Fewer than 20 experiments were found to be sufficient to build surrogate model landscapes of OTA morphology in the experimental design space, which were chemically interpretable and endowed predictive power on data. We produced multiple property landscapes from the experimental data, helping us to infer solutions that would satisfy, simultaneously, multiple design objectives. The balance between data efficiency and the depth of information delivered by AI approaches testify to their potential to engineer particles, opening new prospects in the emerging field of particle morphogenesis, impacting bioactivity, adhesion, interfacial stabilization and other functions inherent to OTA.

Authors: Vinogradov E. A.
Published: April 2021

Not less than one hundred thousand Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to perform flights simultaneously in Russia by 2035. The UAV fleet capacity triggers the development of the systems for informational support, operating control and management of UAV flights (Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) systems) similar to that one already operating in manned aviation. The challenges arising in the sphere of civil aviation cannot be solved without wireless communication. The goals of this article are as follows: 1) familiarization of communication experts with the latest scientific developments of unmanned aerial technologies 2) description of the telecommunication-related problems of extensive systems of UAV control encountered by development engineers. In this article a schematic architecture and main functions of UTM systems are described as well as the examples of their implementation. Special emphasis is put on enhancing flight safety by means of a rational choice of communication technologies to manage conflicts (Conflict Management) known as "collision avoidance". The article analyzes the application of a wide range of wireless technologies ranging from Wi-Fi and Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) to 5G cellular networks as well as cell-free networks contributing to the development of 6G communication networks. As a result of the analysis, a list of promising research trends at the intersection of the fields of wireless communication and UAVs for civil application is made.
Does the Way We Teach Children Interview Ground Rules Impact the Number of Details They Provide?
Authors:   , Kitchin Hannah
Published: April 2021

Ground rules are instructions commonly provided to children in investigative interviews. The ultimate aim of ground rules is to help children provide accurate accounts and resist acquiescence. Therefore, it is no surprise that research into ground rule use has so far focused on the impact ground rule training has on the accuracy of children’s reports. Yet, the amount of information a child provides is also important when it comes to legal processes ensued when a child reports abuse. This study is unique as it focuses on how ground rule training impacts the amount of information a child provides and whether this varies as a result of more intense training. So far, there is little research available that systematically evaluates multiple training methods within one study. The current study involves a condition with no ground rule training, one with the standard training often suggested in interview protocols, and two more intense training methods informed by relevant learning theories. Children aged between 5 and 12-years-old experienced a live event at their school and were interviewed about this event after a delay of approximately 2-weeks. Results did not support the hypotheses that ground rule training method would impact the number of unique details provided by children and that this relationship would vary across age. Results also showed that children’s accuracy responding to questions used to elicit ground rule responses was not related to the number of details provided. A larger sample is necessary to investigate whether the findings of the current study are accurate when the analyses are satisfactorily powered. Currently, this study suggests that more intense ground rule training does not compromise the richness of children’s reports. Findings also indicate that children’s acquiescence to suggestive, unanswerable or confusing questions is not related to the amount of information they provide when asked answerable questions.

LPJK as a non-structural institution under Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing issued a letter to the construction services association regarding the development of integrated application with SIKI LPJK. LPJK and OSS institutions has implemented digital signatures on business entity licensing document. Construction service associations has responded to develop of these regulations by creating an association information system application that implements digital signatures. This research was conducted to apply an digital signatures to the validation of the Membership Card using the secure hash algorithm (SHA) and advanced encryption standard (AES) methods generated through the association information system. This application generates an digital signatures which is implemented with QR Code. The existence of this application is expected to be a form of support for the government which is making changes to the government system.

El artículo ofrece un panorama general sobre la profesionalización del psicólogo que se desempeña en instituciones de salud, respondiendo los interrogantes: ¿qué es?, ¿cómo se ha conceptualizado? y ¿por qué hablar de profesionalización del psicólogo de la salud? El trabajo responde a una investigación de análisis documental, la cual, en sentido general, se utilizó para definir la profesionalización del psicólogo de la salud y delimitar sus alcances dentro de la producción académica. Primero se justifica el estudio del tema, describiendo las opiniones de diferentes autores. A continuación, se aproxima el proceso de gestión de la profesionalización del Psicólogo de la salud, y se realizan propuestas específicas que contribuyan a esa gestión. Las consideraciones finales retoman la discusión sobre su valor para la práctica del psicólogo en el sector de la salud. AbstractThe article offers a general panorama on the professionalization of the psychologist who works in health institutions, answering the questions: what is it? How is it conceptualized? and why talk about the professionalization of the health psychologist?. The work responds to a documentary analysis research, which, in general sense, it was used to define the professionalization of the health psychologist and to define its reaches within the academic production. First, the study of the topic is justified, describing the opinions of different authors. Next, the management process of the professionalization of the Health Psychologist is approached, and specific proposals are made that contribute to that management. The final considerations resume the discussion about its value for the practice of the psychologist in the health sector.

El presente artículo tuvo como objetivo analizar las emisiones del motor de encendido provocado por medio de protocolos internacionales para la evaluación de la variabilidad entre las pruebas estáticas y dinámicas. Las respectivas pruebas de laboratorio se realizaron a una altura sobre los 2810 msnm., en la ciudad de Quito-Ecuador. El vehículo experimentado fue un Nissan Sentra 1.6 L., sometido a pruebas estática (ralentí; 2500 rpm), y dinámica (ASM50/15, ASM25/25, IM 240). Se concluye que el sistema de inyección del vehículo trabaja de forma incorrecta en la prueba estática, debido a que el factor lambda fluctúa entre 1.18 y 1.79 lo que afecta la operación normal del motor por empobrecimiento de la mezcla; mientras que en el sistema de prueba dinámico se acerca a la condición del factor lambda 1 parámetro ideal para la formación de la mezcla estequiométrica. La estimación de los factores de emisión fue: CO de 0.58 gr/km, HC de 0.01006 gr/km y el NOx en 0.09 gr/km. AbstractThe objective of this article was to analyze the ignition engine emissions caused by international protocols for the evaluation of the variability between static and dynamic tests. The respective laboratory tests were performed at an altitude of 2810 m above sea level in the city of Quito-Ecuador. The vehicle experienced was a Nissan Sentra 1.6 L., subjected to tests static (idle; 2500 rpm), and dynamic (ASM 50/15, ASM 25/25, IM 240). It is concluded that the injection system of the vehicle works incorrectly in the static test, because the lambda factor fluctuates between 1.18 and 1.79 which affects the normal operation of the engine due to impoverishment of the mixture; while in the dynamic test system the lambda factor 1 condition is approached ideally for the formation of the stoichiometric mixture. The estimation of the emission factors was: CO of 0.58 g/km, HC of 0.01006 g/km and NOx in 0.09 g/km.

El turismo generado por la observación de delfines mular Tursiops truncatus es una de los principales atractivos turísticos en el estero El Morro, Guayas-Ecuador, sin embargo, la falta de caracterización de hongos en el medio acuático como fuentes principales infecciosas en Tursiops truncatus, genera preocupación sobre esta población, ante esto es necesario la caracterización fúngica del medio acuático en el estero El Morro. Para tal fin, se colectaron muestras de agua durante los meses enero y febrero de 2016, para realizar cultivos de hongos en Agar Sabouraud con dextrosa a temperatura de 30˚C por tres días; posteriormente, se realizó aislados de cepas para identificación morfológica y molecular. La identificación morfológica determinó 17.50% de especies como potencial agente patógeno, entre ellas Aspergillus fumigatus, Blastomyces dermatitidis y Candida albicans. A través del análisis molecular mediante la sección del espaciador interno transcripto ITS [Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS)] se identificó a Rhizopus oryzae, especie reportada como agente causal de infección en delfines. Aunque se detectó Aspergillus carbonarius y Heteroacanthella acanthothysa, estas especies no están catalogadas como agentes patógenos para delfines. Este estudio permite concluir que parte de la diversidad fúngica del agua del estero El Morro representa un potencial riesgo para la salud de los delfines que habitan esta zona. AbstractThe tourism generated by the observation of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus is one of the main tourist attractions in the El Morro estuary, Guayas-Ecuador. However, the lack of characterization of fungi in the aquatic environment as main infectious sources in Tursiops truncatus, generates concern about this population, before this is necessary the fungal characterization of the aquatic environment in the El Morro estuary. For this purpose, water samples were collected during the months of January and February 2016, to culture fungi in Sabouraud Agar with dextrose at 30˚C temperature for three days; later, isolates of strains were made for morphological and molecular identification. The morphological identification determined 17.50% of species as potential pathogenic agent, among them Aspergillus fumigatus, Blastomyces dermatitidis and Candida albicans. Through molecular analysis using the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) section, Rhizopus oryzae, a species reported as a causative agent of infection in dolphins, was identified. Although Aspergillus carbonarius and Heteroacanthella acanthothysa were detected, these species are not catalogued as dolphin pathogens. This study allows to conclude that part of the fungal diversity of the water of the El Morro estuary, which represents a potential risk to the health of the dolphins that inhabit this area.

En la investigación se evaluaron nueve tratamientos con proporciones determinadas de pasta de coco (Cocos nucifera L.), leche descremada y pisco, con el objetivo de determinar la proporción adecuada para el licor de coco, para lo cual se realizó el análisis fisicoquímico y organoléptico. La pasta de coco se obtuvo mediante el trozado y el despulpado de la pulpa o endospermo, utilizándose luego la misma para cada tratamiento. Se utilizó el diseño experimental completamente al azar (DCA) y para la evaluación organoléptica, la prueba de Friedman con un nivel de significancia de 0,05.  De acuerdo con el resultado del análisis organoléptico, en los atributos sabor, aroma y color, todos los tratamientos fueron iguales estadísticamente. Los resultados de la evaluación fisicoquímica evidenciaron que el tratamiento T9 (4 % v/v pasta de coco, 25 % v/v de leche descremada y 12 % v/v de pisco) presentó el más alto porcentaje proteína 1,12 y grado alcohólico de 12 ºGL. Se concluye, con base en los resultados, que el tratamiento T9 fue el que produjo un licor con las mejores características y de mejor calidad.
