Entrepreneurship Theory and Research Programs: An Academic Progress Taxonomy and An Emergence-based Framework
Authors:   Academy of Entrepreneurship, Cha Min-Seok
Published: April 2024

Entrepreneurship has been attained the legitimacy and growth for the proactive engagement of diverse fields. Entrepreneurship theories encompass various aspects of complex phenomenon. However, the theoretical development is weak to explain the complex phenomenon to use in the field(Who cares?). Startup and Scale entrepreneurship are distinctive from ordinary administration for the uncertainty, innovation, and unknown market. The entrepreneurial process has ‘emerged’ from complex and particular reality and human conditions. So we have research opportunities for further theoretical development including meta theorizing according to the Academic Progress Taxonomy(APT). The APT has TREE category(Theory building, Research methods, Exemplar, Evidence). Entrepreneurship inherited multi-disciplinary theoretical resources and challenges to figure out the meta-theory. With more integrative and extendable meta-theory, we could taste salt of ocean is emergence based on entrepreneurity. An integrative multi-layered framework is an emergence-based meta-theory: COSANE (Customer, Organizational, Social, Natural, Economic) value layer above the Scale-up layer(Opportunities, Competence, Ecosystem, Advancement, and Network) and Startup layer(Orientation, Cognition, Entrepreneurity, Action, Novelty) layer. Research programs are proposed according to the OCEANS framework with vertical(upward/downard) and horizontal causation and new combinations of research methods. More research agendas are discussed.

Authors:   Academy of Entrepreneurship, Kim Heung-Kyu
Published: April 2024

Due to a combination of sales regulations and lack of innovation, the growth of large marts is stagnating and profitability is deteriorating. Accordingly, this study examined the impact of large smarks on the national economy, especially on production, added value, employment, sales of suppliers, and tax revenues, through industry correlation analysis and other algebraic calculations. As a result of inter-industry analysis, large marts increase the annual production, added value, and employment by KRW 10 trillion, KRW 11 trillion, and 210,000 people in the wholesale/retail and product brokerage service industries, respectively, and by KRW 43 trillion, KRW 38 trillion, and 320,000 people, respectively, in the industry as a whole. In addition, large marts increase supplier sales by KRW 14 trillion per year and tax revenues by KRW 917.3 billion per year (corporate tax KRW 264.5 billion + value-added tax KRW 652.8 billion). Therefore, it can be said that the impact of large marts on the national economy is truly enormous. Therefore, the government needs to help large marts become competitive by reevaluating populist regulations on large marts that are not helpful to the national economy and open the way for large marts to provide better products and services. In addition large marts need to demonstrate its entrepreneurial spirit and innovate in products and services so that people continue to visit the large marts.

Authors: Kizil Suleyman , Toncer Ozlem , Sogut Tahsin
Published: April 2024

D. stramonium is a wild plant species belonging to the nightshade family
Solanaceae and grows on the edges of cotton fields, empty lands and
roadsides. The plant is one of the most important economic weed plants that
contain both toxic and medicinal properties. Studies have shown that the
plant contains toxic tropane alkaloids such as atropine, hyoscyamine, and
scopolamine. It is known that cultivation techniques have a great influence
on the quality and quantity of secondary metabolites. For this reason, it is
important to determine the optimal values of the agronomic factors that
influence plant growth and production. This study was conducted in the
experimental area of the Agricultural Faculty of Dicle University in the
2010 and 2011 growing seasons so as to evaluate the impact of nitrogen
fertilizer rates (0, 50, 100 and 200 kg ha-1) on some agronomical
characteristics such as fresh and dry herb yield and total alkaloid content
of Datura (Datura stramonium L.). The results revealed that significant
(P?0.05) differences were observed between nitrogen doses in the 2010 and
2011 growing seasons in terms of seed yield, fresh and dry herb yield and
total alkaloid yield of seeds. However, seed yield changed between 545 kg
ha-1 and 625 kg ha-1, fresh herb yield between 8000 and 24483 kg ha-1, dry
herb yield between 2190 kg ha-1 and 5083 kg ha-1 and alkaloid content
between 0.259% and 0.366%, respectively. The results showed that fresh and
dry herb yields increased with increasing nitrogen doses.

Published: April 2024

In order to augment cooling performance of transformer panel-type radiators under natural-convection, the fluid-flow and heat transfer for a novel panel-type radiator and its surrounding air are numerically studied in this paper. The novel radiator is equipped with wind deflectors on both lateral sides and a chimney cap on the top. Then the effects of the height and channel number of the chimney cap on the cooling performance of the radiator are simulated. The results show that wind deflectors can form several enclosed air channels with radiator fins. The air-flow can be accelerated under the chimney effect generated in these channels, and the cooling capacity of the radiator can be increased by 12.75%. The addition of a chimney cap can further extend the chimney channels and increase its cooling capacity by 15.74%. Furthermore, with the increase of the height and channel number, the total cooling capacity of the panel-type radiator increases first and then decreases. In this study, when the chimney cap has five channels and a height of 700 mm, the novel radiator can obtain the best cooling performance, where its cooling capacity and overall heat transfer coefficient can be increased by 26.54% and 28.21%, respectively, as compared with traditional panel-type radiators, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet insulating oil is 7.1?.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: This study seeks to theoretically explore ways to strengthen educational cooperation between schools and regions focusing on the curriculum. Method: Differences in educational perspectives inside and outside of schools and solutions centered on curriculum are examined through literature analysis. Results: There are differences in educational perspectives between schools and regions, school-centered curriculum exclusivity and regional alienation, insufficient curriculum communication due to discussions on leadership, and differences between universal education and regional-specific education. To narrow this, curriculum-centered education is needed. Efforts are needed to communicate inside and outside the school, develop a local curriculum in which schools and regions participate, collaborate with schools and regions to interpret core competencies and achievement standards, and incorporate community resources into a curriculum that meets these. Conclusion: For meaningful educational linkage and cooperation inside and outside of school, efforts are required to activate curriculum-centered communication, cooperatively interpret achievement standards, and effectively achieve them.
From Chaos to Clarity: The Apple TCP Genes Naming Makeover
Authors: Tabarelli Mattia
Published: April 2024

Apple Proliferation (AP) is a widespread disease affecting apple orchards throughout Europe, including South Tyrol.The disease is associated with a phytoplasma, 'Candidatus Phytoplasma mali' ('Ca. P. mali'), which manipulates the plant's physiological processes through the secretion of small peptides called effectors. One well-studied phytoplasma effector is SAP11, which targets Teosinte Branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating Cell Factor 1 (TCP) genes in multiple plant species, including apple. TCP genes encode plant-specific transcription factors involved in various biological processes, such as growth, development, and responses to stimuli. The identification and naming of TCP genes have been inconsistent, leading to confusion and redundancy in sequence databases. In apple, 52 TCP genes (MdTCP) were identified in 2014 on the 2010 assembly of the apple genome, which is now considered outdated. To address this issue, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to identify and name TCP genes in apple using the high-quality genome assembly, GDDH13v1.1. Existing TCP sequences were aligned with the genome excluding redundant, fragmented, and non-TCP sequences. The revised set comprised 40 unique MdTCPs, including three novel genes. To establish a standardised nomenclature, each MdTCP was BLASTedagainst the Arabidopsis thaliana gene database, in order to identify the best hits for each MdTCP. The MdTCP genes were then renamed, incorporating the letter "a" or "b" to differentiate between MdTCPs showing homology to the same AtTCP, and also between the existing and proposed nomenclatures. The present study highlights the need for clarity and organisation in sequence databases, especially in respect of TCP genes. The presence of redundant and fragmented sequences in databases complicates accurate identification and annotation of genes. By providing a comprehensive and standardised nomenclature system, we aim to enhance the coherence and interoperability of future TCP gene research in plant and crop science. In our view, this work will serve as a valuable resource for researchers studying TCP genes in apple and will provide insights into the evolutionary dynamics and functional roles of TCP genes in plants.
Prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus on Noncritical Surfaces of the Laboratories of a Medical Laboratory Training Institution
Authors: UM Obeta
Published: April 2024

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive bacterium that is frequently encountered on surfaces such as benches and skin. This organism being a normal flora of the skin is usually nonpathogenic but becomes pathogenic when found outside its normal flora where it can cause varying number of infections such as nosocomial infections and sepsis which may even lead to death if left untreated. This research was therefore carried out to determine the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus on noncritical surface areas including: Furniture, Doors and Windows of the laboratories of Federal College of Medical Laboratory Science & Technology Jos, Nigeria. Samples were processed, examined and analyzed accordingly. It was observed that out of the 120 samples examined, 8 were gram positive cocci in clusters under Gram staining examination Coagulase and catalase tests were positive indicating specific biochemical tests to identify the organisms in the 8 organisms as Stapylococcus aureus showing a prevalence rate of 6.67%. The 17 working Benches examined, 3(2.50%) were positive. Out of 75 Chairs examined, 5(4.17%) were positive. The 18 Windows examined, 10 Doors examined showed no growth for Staphylococcus aureus. Distribution according to laboratory sections showed that, out of the 95 samples in main laboratory, 6(5.00%) were positive. Out of the 14 samples examined in side laboratory one, 2(1.67%) were positive while none 0(0.0%) was positive out of 11 samples examined in side laboratory two. The isolation of Stapylococcus aureus from these locations stresses the urgent need for public enlightenment campaigns by the appropriate authorities to educate the laboratory workers as well as the masses on the etiological agents, the possible risk factors, routes of transmission and health implication of Stapylococcus aureus infection and ways of preventing these bacteria in the Laboratories especially in Federal College of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology Jos Nigeria.
Investigation of in Vitro Immunostimulating Effects of FreezeThaw Antigens against Visceral Leishmaniasis Caused by L. Infantum
Authors: K Kelleci
Published: April 2024

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis, also known as Kala-Azar among the public, is among the notifiable infectious diseases. The fact that an effective and safe drug or vaccine formulation suitable for use on humans has not been developed causes the disease threat to continue. The aim of this study is to determine the immune system stimulating properties and cytotoxicity of the formulations obtained by combining the antigen obtained from Leishmania infantum parasites with different adjuvants. Methods: L. infantum (EP 126) antigens were obtained by the freeze-thaw method. Freund's adjuvant (Complete and Incomplete), a classical adjuvant, was used in the studies. Mouse macrophage (J774) and mouse fibroblast (L929) cell lines were used for cytotoxicity studies. Additionally, the responses at both 10ug/ml and 40ug/ml were investigated to ensure that the developed formulations were easily adaptable to in vivo. While the cytotoxicity of the formulations was determined by the MTT cell viability analysis method, the antileishmanial property was determined by the Nitric Oxide (NO) determination method. Results: It was determined that all the developed formulations did not have a toxic effect on the host cell, the immunostimulating activity increased with increasing concentration, and the highest value was obtained at a concentration of 200 µg/ml. Cell viability at the maximum concentration was found to be between 78% and 89% for both J774 and L929 cells. The highest cell viability values and NO production abilities (37% increase compared to the control group) were obtained with Incomplete Freund's adjuvant (40 ug/ml formulation). Conclusion: It has been understood that the combination of antigens obtained by the freeze-thaw method with Freunds adjuvant (incomplete) supports NO production, thus having an immunostimulating effect.

Published: April 2024

Although many research studies discussed argumentative essays, little is known about argumentative essays discussing the dialogical exchange of argumentation. This study aims to investigate the distribution of elements and the quality of argumentative essays produced by EFL students. The content analysis was employed to examine their argumentative essays. The data were garnered from essay writing tests for forty students of the English Department at a state university in Palangka Raya, Indonesia. They were assigned to write an argumentative essay about "Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The data analysis comprised collecting, categorizing, and displaying the data and conclusion drawing. The results indicated that (1) a greater number of the students were not able to supply all elements of an argumentative essay, such as an explanation of an issue, thesis statement, counterargument, refutation, and conclusion, and (2) most of them failed to obtain excellence qualification. The study findings imply how teachers can redesign the materials, find effective strategies for teaching an argumentative essay, and provide many practice opportunities. The teachers should focus on teaching an argumentative essay element by allowing the students to understand the goal of each element and integrate them to form a well-developed argumentative essay.

Authors: Kelleci Orhan , Köksal Süheyla Esin
Published: April 2024

In this study, the adhesion performance of wood glues was evaluated depending on temperature. Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and poly urethane (PU) glue were used to adhere to the Back pine (Pinus nigra) wood samples. The adhesion performance of the samples was determined under three different temperature effects: below room temperature (4 ° C), at room temperature (22 ° C), and above room temperature (55 ° C). After sticking, the samples were clamped with a hand vise and left to cure at three different temperatures. Lap sheer strength (LSS), modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) analyses were performed for the mechanical characterization of the samples. According to the obtained results, the LSS (Load at Specified Strain) strength increased below and above room temperature. In contrast, the MOR (Modulus of Rupture) and MOE (Modulus of Elasticity) strengths decreased below and above room temperature. Thus, it was concluded that in addition to the adhesive strength varying with temperature, the direction of the force application also influences the strength. Especially in small workshops, the ambient temperature is greatly influenced by summer and winter conditions. This, in turn, affects the adhesive strength and the quality of the work for wood bonding. Supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with similar studies is essential to improve the quality of their work.

Published: April 2024

This study aimed to compare the performance at World Marathon Majors of three types of racing wheelchair frame materials: Aluminum (Alu), mixed Carbon-Aluminum (CA), and carbon (Carb). Three elite wheelchair athletes (wheelers) (1 male and 2 females) were chosen for the performance analysis, which was conducted on 117 marathons (Alu, n = 49; AC, n = 25; Carb, n = 43). Compared to Alu and CA, Carb was significantly faster (249.18 ± 168.39 s or 4.07%; p = 0.001; Effect size = 0.89) and (388.60 ± 224.06 s or 6.34%; p = 0.0001; Effect size = 0.93), respectively. In addition, no interactions were observed (p > 0.05) between the material of the frame and i) the course profile, ii) the steadiness of intensity, iii) the elevation gained from the start to the finish line, and iv) the surface quality. However, Carb frames behavior in Majors, in which there are remarkable descent sections were 6.9% faster or 412.4 s (effect size = 0.64) relative to Alu, showing an even greater advantage with CA (7.6% or 455.4 s; effect size = 0.63). In conclusion and considering the remarkable advantage in terms of performance that Carb frames confer to elite-wheelers compared to those who use Alu and CA frames, as also the unaffordable price of Carb racing wheelchairs for most elite-wheelers, we advocate for consideration of strict regulations (i.e., do not allow the use of Carb frames at sanctioned marathons) by the government body of this sport IPC Athletics.

Tentang Eksistensialitas: Perspektif Heideggerian Terhadap Program Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan di Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia
Authors: Feriyansyah Feriyansyah , Murtiningsih RR Siti
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article discusses the application of Heideggerian perspectives on existentialism in civic education programs in Indonesia and their critique on the construction of knowledge and the implementation of citizenship values in the education system. The research findings indicate that the concepts of authenticity and ontological education in civic education complement each other in developing individuals as citizens who have a deep understanding of themselves, social responsibility, and the meaning of existence. This approach also prepares them to face the challenges of globalization and world changes, considering the social and historical contexts that influence individuals, thus fostering a caring, responsible, and knowledgeable society. However, the development of civic education programs at the tertiary level in Indonesia needs to consider the critique from Heideggerian perspectives to balance empowering individuals to seek personal life meaning and developing citizenship values inherent in individuals as citizens. Higher education civic education is expected to produce citizens with intellectual competence and strengthen their sense of social responsibility through civic engagement as young citizens in building an inclusive, just, and harmonious public sphere.--------------AbstrakArtikel ini membahas penerapan perspektif Heideggerian tentang eksistensialisme dalam program pendidikan kewarganegaraan di Indonesia serta kritiknya terhadap konstruksi pengetahuan dan implementasi nilai-nilai kewarganegaraan dalam sistem pendidikan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa konsep autentisitas dan pendidikan ontologis dalam pendidikan kewarganegaraan saling melengkapi untuk mengembangkan individu sebagai warga negara yang memiliki pemahaman mendalam tentang diri sendiri, tanggung jawab sosial, dan makna keberadaan. Pendekatan ini juga mempersiapkan mereka menghadapi tantangan globalisasi dan perubahan dunia dengan memperhatikan konteks sosial dan sejarah yang mempengaruhi individu, sehingga membentuk masyarakat yang peduli, bertanggung jawab, dan berpengetahuan luas. Namun, pengembangan program pendidikan kewarganegaraan di perguruan tinggi di Indonesia perlu mempertimbangkan kritik perspektif Heideggerian untuk mencapai keseimbangan antara pemberdayaan individu dalam mencari makna kehidupan pribadi dan pengembangan nilai-nilai kewarganegaraan yang melekat pada individu sebagai warga negara. Pendidikan kewarganegaraan di perguruan tinggi diharapkan mampu menghasilkan warga negara yang memiliki kecerdasan intelektual dan memperkuat rasa tanggung jawab sosial melalui keterlibatan kewarganegaraan sebagai warga negara muda dalam membangun ruang publik yang inklusif, adil, dan harmonis.

Assessing the effect of trade and FDI on growth-unemployment nexus
Authors: Aleksandravičienė Akvilė , Butkus Mindaugas , Kadisa Tomas
Published: April 2024

Research background: Unemployment is a huge topic for policymakers, scholars, and, in general, society. Historically, there have always been a lot of discussions about this phenomenon. It is already acknowledged that unemployment is closely related to economic activity: when the economy is growing, more people are employed, and when economic activity is low, employment decreases, and unemployment rises. This relation is well-researched in the framework of Okun’s law. However, it is far less known how this relationship holds if international economic relations are introduced. Thus, the motivation for the research was to examine the role of international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) on the growth-unemployment nexus.
Purpose of the article: To assess how trade and FDI affect growth and gender-, age-, and educational attainment level-specific unemployment relationship and on what scale this effect varies over different business cycle phases.
Methods: Scientific literature review, comparative analysis, and panel regression.
Findings & value added: Given the lack of research examining what effect FDI and trade have on the growth-unemployment nexus, this paper estimates modified Okun’s equation on the European Union (EU) countries (EU–28, by the composition of the EU until 31/01/2020) for the period from 2000 to 2019 while incorporating international aspects that can have an impact on this nexus. Also, this study develops a specification that can be useful to monitor the potentially different effects of FDI and trade on the growth-unemployment nexus during different business cycle phases. The estimations of the panel regression for unemployment disaggregated by age, gender and education level has showed that import, export, inward FDI, and outward FDI have a negative effect on the growth-unemployment nexus. It means that with an increase in the intensity of international economic relations, the influence of gross domestic product (GDP) growth on unemployment becomes less significant. Thus, the effectiveness of expansionary fiscal policy to reduce unemployment becomes less effective in more open economies, which in the case of the EU are the smallest member states with relatively small domestic markets.
Exploring rationality of peer-to-peer lending investors: A conceptual approach and multicriteria-based methodology
Authors: Legenzova Renata , Leckė Gintarė
Published: April 2024

Research background: The shift towards globalization, technological innovations, and digitalization has led to the emergence of various innovative financial products, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) lending. Characterised by digital solutions and easier access, P2P lending allows investors to make quick and more frequent investment decisions. However, this can increase investors’ vulnerability to behavioural biases, and therefore leave them open to potential losses. There is a research gap in understanding P2P lending investors’ rationality, including research methods tailored to the specifics of this innovative product.
Purpose of the article: Objectives of our study is to propose a conceptual approach and multicriteria-based methodology to measure the degree and type of investor rationality; to apply it in Lithuanian P2P lending context, and to explore the differences in rationality based on the investors’ sociodemographic characteristics.
Methods: The data set represented answers to an online survey collected from 390 Lithuanian P2P lending investors. Three groups of criteria were employed to assess rationality degree and type: risk and return (reflecting utility maximization), use of available information, and behavioural biases criteria. The rationality index was developed to measure the rationality degree of individual P2P lending investors; descriptive and cluster analysis were performed to assess the rationality type; t-test, ANOVA test and regression analysis were used to investigate its influencing factors.
Findings & value added: The results indicated a moderate overall degree of P2P lending investors’ rationality, with bounded rationality representing 96,67% of the sample. Further clustering analysis proved that bounded rationality behaviour is not homogenous; therefore, measures taken to increase individual’s rationality should be tailored to their specific rationality type primarily focusing on low-scoring rationality criterion. Regarding sociodemographic factors, investors’ financial literacy was identified as the only significant and positive determinant of P2P lending investors’ rationality, reinforcing the importance of financial literacy in society.
Working from home during and beyond the coronavirus pandemic: Employee reflections from the Czech Republic
Authors: Šafránková Jana Marie , Šikýř Martin
Published: April 2024

Research background: Working from home (WFH) has become the norm for many people around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic. It has accelerated the implementation of WFH and has raised questions about its further use.
Purpose of the article: The article analyzes the experience of employees in the Czech Republic with WFH during the coronavirus pandemic to identify perceived benefits, difficulties, skills, and conditions related to WFH, assess the employee desire to work from home depending on their industry, age, and gender, and propose actions for further use of WFH beyond the coronavirus pandemic. The statistical verification of the dependence of the desire of employees to work from home beyond the coronavirus pandemic on their industry, age, and gender is integral to the analysis.
Methods: The analysis is founded on data from the authors' online questionnaire survey conducted from December 2021 to September 2022. Responses from 480 employees who experienced WFH during the coronavirus pandemic in the Czech Republic are analyzed. Statistical non-parametric methods for the analysis of nominal data are used to verify defined hypotheses.
Findings & value added: A research gap concerning the further use of WFH in the Czech Republic and elsewhere by considering the employee experience is met. The findings have revealed the desire of more than half of surveyed employees to continue working from home part-time to achieve reasonable work-personal-family well-being. The desire turned out to be dependent on the employees' industry. Within further use, WFH should be taken as a specific work pattern for suitable professions and individuals with adequate organizational and technical support. Three matters concerning performance agreement, work environment, and self-management are proposed to enhance work-personal-family well-being and thus job satisfaction and productivity of homeworkers. The findings and proposals can help any theorist and practitioner interested in WFH.
EFECTO DE ADICIÓN DE LIPIDOL® EN ALIMENTO PARA POLLOS DE ENGORDE COBB 500 Y SU COMPORTAMIENTO SOBRE SUS PARÁMETROS PRODUCTIVOS
Authors: Alvarado Parrales Paola Marlene
Published: April 2024

El presente estudio cuantitativo tuvo como finalidad evaluar el efecto de la adición de lecitina de soya hidrolizada (lipidol®) en alimento para pollos de engorde Cobb 500, tratando de resolver limitaciones técnicas relacionadas con la rentabilidad del proceso de explotación avícola comúnmente generalizada en la región. Para el efecto, se implementó un ensayo experimental utilizando un Diseño Completamente Aleatorizado con arreglo factorial 4x3, factor A (niveles de adición de lipidol: 0, 0,50; 0,75 y 1,0 kg/T de alimento) y factor B (periodos de utilización: 1-7; 1-15 y 1-21 días), con 12 tratamientos y 3 réplicas sobre una población total de 288 pollos. Los resultados señalan que la adición de diferentes dosis de lecitina de soja hidrolizada representó el incremento del peso semanal acumulado sobre pollos con el tratamiento (1 kg/T + 1-21 días) con 2963,91 gramos (P=0,0001: 5% significancia), ganancia diaria de peso (P=0,0001: 5% significancia) con 69,56 gramos, consumo de alimento semanal acumulada (P=0,0001: 5% significancia) con 5643,26 gramos, un menor porcentaje de mortalidad (1,41 %) y mayor porcentaje de viabilidad (98,59%). Finalmente, el análisis de costo-beneficio demuestra que la aplicación Lipidol® (1 kg/T + 1-21 días) representa beneficios económicos en la producción de pollos, registrando una relación costo/beneficio de 1,15, lo que significa un retorno de 15 centavos por cada dólar invertido.

Authors: Martínez-Reina Antonio María
Published: April 2024

En este trabajo se analizan las preferencias de los consumidores por la carne bovina en las principales ciudades de la Región Caribe de Colombia. La información se obtuvo mediante una encuesta estructurada aplicada, a partir de una muestra aleatoria seleccionada por el método de muestreo aleatorio simple a 337 personas responsables de las compras utilizando la plataforma Forms office. El formulario estuvo conformado por variables socioeconómicas como edad, género, nivel de escolaridad, estrato social, número de miembros de la familia, además de otras relacionadas con la frecuencia de compra y cantidad, características deseables para el consumidor y dinámica del consumo. Como herramientas de análisis se emplearon tablas de contingencia, estadística descriptiva, análisis de correlación y análisis de varianza. Los resultados indican que el consumo se concentra en los estratos con ingresos medios de la población y que a medida que avanza la edad del consumidor el consumo tiende a disminuir y que el consumo promedio semanal de cada familia es de 2,87 kilos de carne. Se concluyó que el estrato medio es el que mayor consumo realiza.
